No Nothing

Did something come from nothing? The answer is no, unfortunately. There is a single source for something, which is something. In the end, there is always something within something and nothing within nothing. This signifies that there is no room for nothing in the realm of something. Nonetheless, there is a unique circumstance called "no-thing". It is equivalent to something being in equilibrium. Let's examine the illustrations below:

-2 + 2 = 0 (No-thing)
-2 + 1 = -1 (Something)
+6 – 3 = 3 (Something)

The analysis above suggests that "no-thing" is not equivalent to nothing. In another context, “no-thing” signifies equanimity. In Mother Nature, everything is impartial and infinitely interconnected. It means that everything is a matrix of everything and that duality or multiplicity of circumstances will always exist in all things or matters. Just as the ascent of one thing would mean the fall of another elsewhere, without exception. Generally speaking, the mechanism of universal laws would always function in the context of absence, balance, and constant (ABC).

Ultimately, an object won't be created from nothing, but rather the energy elements that emerge from a system. Einstein's formula (E = mc2) explains that energy and matter are identical, but reflect different shapes on their own. Since we can't see energy with our naked eye, we call it empty instead of nothing. Most people have difficulty seeing the ultimate truth because their mind is intrinsically dependent. Dependent phenomena obscure the mind from discerning the actual circumstances, resulting in the appearance of ignorance and suffering.

Kamma-vipāka

Certain individuals are more susceptible to the “kamma-vipāka” factors, while others are not. This begs the question, “Why do bad people prosper in life?” The concept of fairness is deeply embedded in human behaviour, which is why people strive to act fairly. However, the reality is that the world is not fair. In Buddhism, kamma refers to volitional action, but by definition, it means action. To comprehend kamma and its effects (kamma-vipāka), it is necessary to comprehend the laws of movement. Let us consider Newton’s laws of motion as shown below: -

1st Law Of Motion

Every object in a coherent state of motion tends to remain in this state of movement unless an external force is applied.

2nd Law Of Motion

It has to do with the relationship between the mass of an object, its acceleration, and the applied force. Under this law, the direction of the force vector is identical to the direction of the acceleration vector.

3rd Law Of Motion

Every action leads to an equal and opposing reaction.

In a nutshell, Newton’s third law of motion would fall into constant motion. This means that we can assume that the acting factor is the same as the reacting factor. However, the opposing forces would indicate a single harmonising mechanism under a variable motion, as shown below: -

Scenario 1 - Acceleration

When the acting factor accelerates, the relative reacting factor decelerates: -

Force A acting ↑ Force A reacting ↓

For example, a twin flies off in a spaceship travelling near the speed of light, and comes back to find out her twin is a lot older. That’s because the twin inside the spaceship would meet the deceleration process of becoming. It describes time dilation based on Einstein’s special theory of relativity.

Scenario 2 - Deceleration

When the acting factor decelerates, the relative reacting factor accelerates: -

Force A acting ↓ Force A reacting ↑

For example, if the speed of the car drops, it is decelerating; mathematically, it is an acceleration in the opposite direction to that of motion and vice versa. This scenario also explains why the process of recovering people would accelerate after taking a cool vacation.

Generally speaking, human thoughts are cosmic waves of energy that pervade all time and space, and it is the most powerful vibration that can attract what is desired or wished for. This means we attract what we send (like draws like) but the timeline for the result always depends on the performer’s skills.

In the present dynamism, a higher vibration frequency would slow down the process of becoming and a lower vibration frequency would accelerate the process of becoming. In light of this, individuals with higher mental frequencies tend to broadcast a kamma at a slower pace than those with lower mental frequencies. This scenario sheds light on why the payback time differs between individuals. To sum up, if you're more sensitive to the “kamma-vipāka” factors, that means you were born with higher mental frequencies, which is a quicker path to spiritual liberation.

Enlightenment

Enlightenment is a technical term used to describe realisation, graduation, and liberation. The essence of enlightenment can be described as follows: -

· Inherent nature would not involve change. It is an immutable, indestructible, and everlasting nature.

· Dependent nature describes the iterations of fluctuating activities that are affected by conditional phenomena. In this process of becoming, change is a constant.

· Mother Nature is both inherent and dependent, resulting in its universal and infinite nature. It operates through the principles of absence, balance, and constancy.

· Kamma-vipāka does not involve punishment by nature. It is based on the principles of absence, balance, and constancy.

· Everything is a matrix of all things and matters, with duality and multiplicity of circumstances always present in the realm of something.

· The mind is the precursor of all states. To observe, the object or matter must be in the range of the mental frequency horizon; otherwise, observation is not possible.

· Something will always come out of something. The realm of something does not allow for the elements of nothing to exist.

· Absence is not a synonym for nothing, it is a synonym for perfect equilibrium.

· Phenomenal existence is the product of the right combination of causes and conditions.

· Each existence consists of three basic elements, namely energy, matter, and space. These elements would be subject to the cyclical influence of equilibrium and imbalances.

· Everything exists simultaneously under the present dynamism. The projectile time movement discerned by our mental consciousness is purely due to relativity, owing to the varying vibrational frequencies.

· Without the mind, the multiplicity of circumstances does not exist. All things seem to be the deepest facts of their own, that is, no label, no limit, no name, no activity, no form, no description, etc.

· All subjects and objects are created, but they are always empty. Emptiness is the primary source of perceptible realities.

· Although it is not illusory, the appearance is deceptive because it doesn't exist intrinsically and varies based on conditional phenomena. The notion of emptiness in all things is what this is, i.e. the lacking any inherent existence.

· The emptiness of phenomena is the cause and consequence of the dependent nature of phenomena.

· Absoluteness is a property of relativity, and relativity is a property of absoluteness.

· Seeing things as they truly are, from a variety of perspectives, is what it means to have wholesome contemplation.

· There are variations and conditioned relations in the consciousness between beings; it is not identical or completely separate.

· There is suffering (dukkha) because of conditional phenomena that would require individuals or things to persevere or undertake indefinitely.

· To alleviate suffering, the middle path is the perfect approach to life. The main idea is to pay attention to the core, neutrality, equilibrium, and righteousness.

· A cause is never sufficient to produce an effect. A cause must, at the same time, be an effect, and each effect must be the cause of something else as well.

· Conventional reality is subjective-cum-relative, i.e. the final conclusion varies from one observer to another.

· Our mental consciousness can be altered and transformed into a powerful black hole that strongly attracts and magnetises the vibrational frequencies; the psychic powers discovered in individuals.

· Rebirth is not reincarnation or transmigration. It refers to the evolution of an individual’s consciousness or stream of consciousness. This means that the new consciousness that appears in the same person (in the new person after death) is neither identical nor wholly different from the old consciousness, but it is part of a continuum of causation or streams with it.

· Without memory, the law of kamma would not exist because there would be no process of becoming into all beings or things.

· Energy can never be stationary at any point in time, but it may seem to freeze due to the presence of homologous forces, as does a black hole.

· There is an imperious black hole in the innate mind of all individuals which is also known as the Clear Light in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

· In an enlightened mind, the dominant mental consciousness would lead observation without identifying with the thoughts that flow through the subtle mental consciousness.

· The nibbāna is completely non-existent. When there is no mind that can generate descriptions, perceptions, names, shapes, and so on, it will manifest.

Ultimately, enlightenment is not a distant prospect that can only be attained by the privileged, chosen, or qualified individuals who sit in ivory towers. We may not realise it, but we have actually learned, graduated, and been liberated from something somehow and somewhere. In other words, each of us has had a moment of awakening in some way or another. Anyone who has the right attitude or determination can achieve this profound realisation.
