SHACK 942 THE EMPTY ATOM

Pinterest

Should I recognise I am made of atoms, particles and so on, the aforesaid atoms are said to be 99.99% empty a lot of nothing as it were. So my body and identity comprise of 0.01% of trillions of 0.01% and at this time of September 2020 scientists do not know what that percentage is.

So who I am as an identity and real description of a lasting form seems to be 'not much to go on'.

I feel I am a conscious aware being and a conscious awareness is not a quantifiable 'substance' and looking through a scanning electron microscope I may catch a glimpse of what an atom is and since I am made or consist of atoms, I am looking at myself, which turns out to be as nebulous as the atom. There it is clinging onto that which is empty and trying to make it full usually by thoughts, fantasies and brain washed inculcation which is just as nebulous as my atomic body.

This is  a conundrum; a paradox, koan, why so? Clinging desperately to a false empty nature of an identity which is empty and vainly trying to make it solid and believable. I try to make it a fixed point of reference and make something out of nothing, which is exactly how the Universe came into being. 

This can be maddening and like a dog chasing its tail and some I know have contemplated suicide and I felt why suicide, because the whole thing is an illusion seemingly made solid and reality made by thought which is in its self is just as spurious as the atom.

So why chase the emptiness because it is the only reality that does not exist.
