Re: The big bang theory
"Something can't come from nothing. Zero plus zero will always equal zero."
And yet, all numbers spring forth from zero.
"Something" (not just physical form, but also thought, concept, desire, etc.) came -- comes -- from "nothing". If "something" came from "something", then what created the first "something"? "Something" will always fall within the realm of "creation", and as such must always have a source, a cause. The question "If God created us, then who created God?" will always exist as long as "God" is seen as a "something".
Yet, seeing "God" as "nothing" arises new questions. "How can something come from nothing?". The intellect will never be able to understand, regardless of which concept is used. All it will do is continue to ask blind questions that send people around in loops.
The key is in knowing that the "nothing" isn't a "blank nothing", but actually a "nothing, with awareness (intelligence)". This "nothing" is certainly not a "something", and yet it is not an unintelligent emptiness either. It is only "perceiver". The perceiver is what makes "somethings" and "nothings" possible. It knows both, and is beyond both.
Creation doesn't come from "nothing", yet it doesn't come from "something" either.
The only way to know the source is to dive deep within yourself and step outside of the boundaries of Illusion, "the dream".
