SHACK 41 ITS ALL IN THE MIND

SPACE

Where is anything?  Its all in the mind.  Where is your mind?  Well its in your brain, who created the brain?  Evolution---oh yes! -- who created Evolution?  Where was anything before creation?  OK everything comes back to who created the whole lot and if there is a creator who created the creator? 

Perhaps if one can go on a journey of supposition and theory all a person can conceive and experience is with a body and brain irrespective of how it arrived or evolved and be that as it may, the stars, the whole firmament is in the eye of the beholder and it is held and viewed by a conscious entity.  In deep sleep one dreams and feels and experiences as if awake----could sleep be another wakefulness?  If this is so then a witness must acknowledge this and be witness to it.  Is this silent witness the creator or just the observer?

What happens when there is the absence of thought?  It is possible to be so and there is a bright illumination and the personal identity created by thought disappears or seems to melt away albeit briefly. It then becomes an impersonal self which has been accomplished by allowing thought to run itself dry, this not the same as suppressing thought or trying to blank the mind, there are ways of doing this, for example by meditation.  What then seems to be the nature of this impersonal self?

This experience then seems to be unlimited and one feels empty and in space. Well perhaps to ponder space is to be in it.
