Everything Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Word on the street is this is a question you work with at a certain point in meditative practice. The question is a state of doubt, ignorance and resistance. The answer is a state of believe, knowingness and allowance. Â Existance exists, for my surrender to it, and the joy that comes with that.

Protector Posted July 8, 2012 Because nonexistence exists and there was so much nothing that one day POOF, there was everything It either came to be because there needs to be a balance between existence and nonexistence or nonexistent energy got so powerful and condensed that some of it became existence energy OR MAYBE SOMEONE DECIDED THAT EXISTENCE EXISTS Because there is nonexistence so there must be existence Good thing we have existence and nonexistence instead of nonexistence and FISH!!! But fish does exist... DOES IT?!?!?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protector Posted July 8, 2012 Non existance exists? Not really...  What is non existant? Non existant...  No need to make things complicated. Unless you want to  You just made it more complicated yourself  How else can I talk about nothing without putting it into something We exist so we must put existence close to us to understand it Nonexistence doesn't exist is a double negative so it creates existence is what I want to show You're still making a while bunch of threads about the same topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birch Posted July 9, 2012 Sometimes "Why" is really "How". But I guess everything can get asked anything of. Â I don't know the answer. I'm not sure I mind what the reason is. Today I'm enjoying existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc benway Posted July 9, 2012 We exist, he exists, they exist, I exist, you exist, it exists, that exists, this exists, she exists, etc. Â Why does existsance itself exist? My feeling is that "why" is a characteristic of human thought rather than a characteristic of existence. So I would ask "why" is there a desire to ask "why"? Typically "why" questions relate to a desire for security, or in other words, a desire for the absence of uncertainty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its no problem though, as long as I enjoy it  So existance existing doesn't make it negative right? There is only existance. Same conclusion.

Everything Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Sometimes "Why" is really "How". But I guess everything can get asked anything of. Â I don't know the answer. I'm not sure I mind what the reason is. Today I'm enjoying existence. That is because you have already found the reason. It is in your enjoyment. Your lack of resistance and surrender to it allows you to enjoy it. Â The question is not the reason, they're both completely diffrent in vibrational frequency. Â I already know how existance exists. By simply being what it is. That is more a curiosity to me, where "why" sounds more like a "doubt." Â We expose our selves to contrast of the question, then shoot back in the light of the answer. So that we may enjoy the answer. Edited July 9, 2012 by Everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Everything Posted July 9, 2012 because frog water Thanks for answering my question and sharing your unique perspective on all that is. Â The reason behind the existance of existance is not one, but many. It is infinite, for the expansion is never ending. All answers are valid. As long is it does not contain the question.

fizix Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) There is no spoon. Â Oh, and the answer is 42. Â Oh, and existance doesn't exist because existance isn't a word. Sorry, couldn't resist Edited July 9, 2012 by fizix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Everything Posted July 9, 2012 Oh, and existance doesn't exist because existance isn't a word. Sorry, couldn't resist No need to appologize for releasing resistance. That is like an angel appologizing for entering the gateway of heavens. "sorry, guys! Unworthy being comig trough!" Not even possible, the two don't mix.  Sorry is resistance. You might say "I'm resisting, coulden't resist!". Lol  Anyways, what do you mean with existance not existing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
