SHACK 40171 ENDLESS

Sometimes when I am sitting quiet or just quiet and still and thoughts are either absent or just floating away I am acutely aware of being aware and I sense it is unadulterated pristine
 space if one can describe it so. It feels eternal if one can define that and unmoving it just is.

The image above is a Mobius strip 'Surprisingly, you'll end up back at your starting point, having drawn on what seems like both sides of the strip. Yet, you never actually flipped the strip or moved your pencil to the other side. This is the magic of the Möbius Strip, an object that truly embodies the abstract concept of infinity in a tangible form.

Of course this does not explain the feel of the eternal space and may I suggest that you make one. Perhaps when you come back to yourself at the start so to speak you may understand intuitively what this may feel like and I emphasise 'feel'.

Oh to me it feels sort of holy, vast and where creation arises from or out of and collapses back too when the form is recognised as a mere apparition and the nature of thought just cloud like, fleeting and has no real tangibility and to me suggests the transient illusion of reality, as if thought provokes and stimulates emotions and touch and they maybe just mind magic and not reality. 

When Mahākāśyapa who was a disciple of the Buddha smiled as the Buddha held up (many versions of the freshly picked Lotus see the event in the Vulture Peak and gathering) it may suggest or intuit spontaneously your own understanding not by logic but by feel. For me I felt that this sprung out of the emptiness and was a mind invention, the fleeting instant 'feel' was joy, freedom, that the flower was another mind expression and was not real, it came and went like life and was the Buddhistic expression of impermanence. To me this many years later on became my inculcation work Einstein's 'Reality is an illusion albeit a persistent one'  I appreciate that many academics do not agree and great discussions have and are still going on, however for my feel of it it sums up the fleeting nature of reality which inculcation produces.

This great infinite eternal space, still and quiet is the womb of creation and holds the Universe with its apparent dimensions and complexities with in it yet it is not an IT it is what it is and beyond human understanding and yet humans can 'touch IT and yet not describe or explain it' this is the mystery of Life and for some of us it drives us on and to feel seek leaving logic behind and yet attempting to explain in vain what we have experienced and who experienced it.

This fits in with the empty atom, the atoms are collected to put thought into so as produce some form, their nature like as above is fleeting and in the quantum realms are hard to locate and various anomalies arise such as  Heisenberg's 1927 ' uncertainty principle' and so on. Of course the human mind and the ego find it difficult to deal with uncertainty and emptiness and so build elaborate intricacies and high-sounding words ( Doctor you have coryza , oh my god is this serious, no it is a cold). We baffle people with expressions like this to appear clever, intellectually superior and reap applause and authority and have degrees and uniforms to enhance this.
