My life of nothing meaning

The power of nothing

I love this tribe, mostly I love the concept.

Thats all it is, it doesnt really exist, nothing that is.

Its about a conversation, getting to nothing in my thinking of whats so.

Its an endless process, the moment I touch nothing, my life fills up with even more of something, the good part is its a new something, and my vast experience with change and new is that new is often a lot better.

I am a bit addicted to change, I spent my childhood trying to fix the world with every bit of information I could find, but I discovered this was me trying to fix my childhood. I got complete with that, and now I realize there is nothing to fix.

I learned this concept of getting to nothing in my conversation, in my belief and thinking of the past, my hopes for the future. I learned it so many times, but I didn't get it, even know that I think I get the nothing concept, I still have situations in life that test my belief in it and of course the more I am achieving nothing, the more life doesnt allow me to stay there for long.

You can't teach nothing to people, it counter intuitive, it doesnt make sense, since cave times mankind needed to have something, since we lived in scarcity, we need to hoard our resources, but even at this time, nothing was the secret to life, but then survival didnt need us to have any secrets, lizards have survived for a long time without this secret.

We need the secret of nothing - (no past, no future, no spoon) because we have words which allow us to choose how we are being in any given moment. This was a gift of evolution and a curse. It allows us to powerfully choose something new, and with a simple thought change how we are being in a given moment, at the same time, the pattern survival brain fights us to keep things safe and the same.

I will never arrive, I will never end this path.

But my life is so powerful now!
I quit my job, and get 10 offers making a lot more money!
I sell my car, and get a better car for a lot less money!
I give up my past beliefs about family and friends, and now they love me and all my relationship rock!
I stop having fears about retirement, and my retirement starts to grow expotentionally!
I could keep going on....but I think you get the idea.

Its not nothing, its no thing, or its no thought, or its no past beliefs, maybe its that there is no spoon, but that doesnt describe it.

What I learned is that we put our past into our future, this puts our past into our future in our present possible moment, so we are living our past in our future right now, and that doesnt work. The past has very little to do with now, our consideration about life right now have little to do with what is, and our future isnt here till we BE_Do it right now anyways.

But maybe you enlighten folks can tell me how lost I really am in this nothing...

I didnt have anthing to say either so I wrote this nothing, I wasnt even sure how to say nothing, and given what I said, its nothing really.

But I hope you liked my nothing, I really need to say nothing, to fully keep my brain from creating something out of this nothing.

I appreciate a space of nothing to put together this nothing concept and mostly the sharing is so very powerful, I can't have the power of nothing unless you all hear my nothing rant and keep me in the space of being nothing.

I thank you for nothing, I love you for nothing everything, I hope nothing touches your life and gives you everything and anything from this clearing in the realm of infinite possiblitiy broght about from nothing.

      It means a lot, damit!!

      I am working on giving up the meaning, but its just a big trap, a huge metaphor. This life is so ironic. Out of one box into another. Lost child of life. Just when I get it, life laughs at me, and send me more irony, more challenge.

      Its like the only thing I can know for certain are that the lessons will continue, any lesson I avoid will bite me in the ass to make sure I learn it, any one I learn, will just create a new and wonderful lesson. This is all I can be sure of, thus the nothing is so powerful, because with nothing, I can jump faster, get to the new lesson with a little time to breathe!!!

      Reminds me of my military days, hurry up and wait, or was that the EST days...lol

        All so true. Learning lifes lessons is the key, even if we don't necessarily understand the "meaning" of it all.

        Werner did say it well in the great book of Aphorisms they handed out after the Est Training.
        It's much better if one doesn't supply a whole lot of meaning to them, hence the self-deprecating title,

        "If God Had Meant Man to Fly,
        He would Have Given Him Wings
        Or
        Up to Your Ass in Aphorisms."


        Man keeps looking for a truth that fits his reality.
        Given our reality, the truth doesn't fit.
        If you experience it, it's the truth.
        The same thing believed is a lie.
        In life, understanding is the booby prize.

        Everyone now talk amongst yourself and supply meaning to the above.
        After 2 minutes put down your number 2 pencils and await further instruction. {:~D
