Question:Where nothing exists in and by itself???


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Where nothing exists in and by itself???

...yes, the universe is a symphony...even with an occasional sour note being heard

Yes, I think that the who universe is one living, unified system. The "life" in the universe keeps things happening and always changing. In a sense, the universe is the physical manifestation of God, and He is the harmony that makes the existence of everything, from an atom to a galaxy, possible. Without Harmony, things would break apart. Harmony between 3 quarks allows protons and neutrons to exist. Harmony between atoms allows compounds to exist. Harmony between nations is peace. Harmony between people is love.
In a sense, then, the Universe is the song that God sings!

Do you like that idea?

It seems to be the only logical conclusion if you actually take the time to think about it.

If you don't really think about it the idea seems highly unlikely.

I think this is by design.

Thanks for thinking.

Yep.. I believe so. I mean, everything is a cycle, right? Like in the food chain, every creature, may it be big or small, it has it's own purpose and when you eliminate flies, you will also kill the toads because you have destroyed it's only mean of survival..

Yes.

Yes, I think it is.

This belief is called monism. And yes, on a spiritual level, I think this is true. Likewise, since we cannot get out of the Universe, the Universe is the All and is a whole. It is Reality itself, and
Reality is everything there is, including Nothingness, because this is a concept if nothing else.
But there are parts as well, which have their own lives, from galaxies to solar systems to planets and phyla and so on. Light is one, but it has seven colors. Reality is, as the school of Advaita Vedanta says, both dual and non-dual.

No, I think there are as many realities as there are people to perceive them. Are you asking if there is an objective reality if no one is there to perceive it? I don't know. But I do know that the perception of each individual colors any realities. That is why many people can witness something and give completely different accounts of what they witnessed....because they all perceive it differently.
Certainly, there is some social concensus about what is real, but then some tend to just go along with that so as not to look different. This is borne out in many social psychology studies.

Yes, I do...

The Unified Feild is the fabric of Creation or God......

Yes, one whole where there's room for everything; even for some things to exist in and of themselves. It's a big whole sister!0!

Good luck!

Yes, and all elements within the whole of reality are connected to one another

nothing can fall off the plate...
all one big ocean... with millions of unique ripples on the surface, but all connected to the one big ocean...

Good question. I think reality is reflected to us by our consciousness, our conditioned mind and so on. So we perceive in a unique way,usually. But Reality itself, is beyond perception, and is in fact a dynamic whole, we think we are separate from...sometimes.

no...reality is part of the bigger picture.

All is one , how unified it is ?

Absolutely yes. Everything is one thing in disguise. Matter is really energy and by the time you look at the quantum level, all there is is a vast undulating sea of potential.

I would mention that "reality" is in two parts. There is the one we know, the dimension(s) of effect [creation] and the dimension of cause, often known as the spiritual realm [creator].

Energy we can't measure with instruments is emanated from the still center (aka 'God'), and sort of transmorgrafies into energy we can measure, which concentrates itself into matter.

But it's all made out of the same stuff. As far as we know, humans are the only creatures with a dual nature; we can complete the circuit and connect with the Source.

You mean like a multi-dimensional spider web? Yes.

Psychically connected at the very least, Yes.

More than believe, I know it, more than know, I remember it.

More than remember it, I feel it.

So, yes, I'd lay my money on it, if I had any.

Cheers!

There is a confusion in the minds of men alone...reality is just that...REAL. There can be nothing other than that which is actually real. All else is illusion...image...false... Just because an individual percieves something in relationship to their own perspective and experience (and believe me I am subject to this as well)..does not make it so.... Eventually reality will have its way... I think that the problem comes in not understanding things in the context of this dilema. Something is inherantly "wrong" with the mind of man... The reality of his being and existence are frightening...(ie:nuclear weapons) We may dismiss ourselves from general participation in this individually, but it does not remove it... The dimension of time and its temporairy existence alone... understood in the context of the existence of illusions...and the resolutions of the reality of these illusions, or not...can define the problem. There is a unified "whole" everywhere but in the mind of man..his thoughts are not correct and with wrong thoughts a wrong course of action is taken which is not substantiated by time but is revealed by time and law to be nothing other than illusion...once more. Check out CHAOS by Gleick..and look into fractals and their implications....plant some seeds and let them grow

I think that there's only one reality. Although, each person perceive his as the one. And no two person see with the same eyes or heart.
The world isn't unified, therefore there can't be one unified whole in this world. it would be outside of this world.
