The primary state of existence is non-thinking, non-doing, existing, being like a still pond. Beyond the Gods of Doing are the by-gone Gods of yester-infinity. Out of no-thing came all things, and all things return to no-thing. When the pendulum of life does not swing, existence is the primary state, and the primary state is the stillness of silence, no vibration, no oscillation, no frequency, no thing. It is a “state” of physical, mental, emotional and energy inanity, or vacuity, or non-animation or non-movement. There is no life. There is no-thing. There is nothing.

The cycle of existence, of life, is from the death of winter to the birth of spring to the flowering of summer to the aging of fall and the finale in the silence-of-life-that-was and will be again.

The cycle of a day is the cycle of existence, or life and non-life. From rising sun to sunset, from sleep to wakefulness, from death to life and a return to death, and then, the rebirth. The never-ending cycle of eternity, from non-existence to existence, all temporary, all cycling, all returning from whence they came. If a permanence (or eternal) existence or non-existence were possible, life would be impossible, would never be, and the only thing that is eternal is the very space wherein everything and nothing exists: SPACE, the eternal ONE, THE UNCREATED, the HIVE of life and non-life.

When you “meditate” and enter the stillness of silence of non-existence and know not life (yet are alive) you have entered that state. It is like sleep, a deep sleep, non-dreaming, no-thing, no consciousness, and from it you awaken to a new day, a new life of thinking and doing until you either return to “meditation” by conscious intent or needful sleep.

Non-doing or doing, whether in-mind or out-of-mind, is life, is existence, yet, to the mind that thinks being busy, and doing, is life, is the only existence, is important, that mind is matrixed, is caught, is imprisoned, is not free, is not liberated, is in a jail of its own busy creations, is separate and apart and lives in a state of self-delusional and illusional thought, thinks that to be alive means to be doing only. Most create lives in their minds and live in their minds creating importance, living in judgment, harboring opinions, biases, prejudices and drawing conclusions–all delusion and illusion–while the grandeur and splendor and magnificence of life, of existence, passes before them with non-existent or minimum attention or awareness.

They spend their lives in the illusionary importance of their own thinking and thereby miss the reality that is life. For them, life must happen their way to be happy. For them, if life is not happening the way they think, the way they need, they want, they desire, it is either not worth living, or, they embrace and relish their irritation at life, they own their upset, their stress, their anxiety, their remorse, their depression, their anger, as if THAT is life, and, it all plays out in their minds through their temporary self-delusional and illusionary thoughts, thinking their thoughts and imaginations are real, thinking, "THAT IS LIFE" (silly wabbits).

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus, a life beyond mind. And all you have to do to enjoy it all is be out of your mind. nem
