Albert,
You ask some great questions. The right questions, as I see it.
I asked in my initial post above:
Is all "being" conditioned? And, if there is no conditioning, what is being? To me now, this is a worthwhile question. Worth tracking down.
We struggle to understand, to survive. We seek to conquer what will ultimately be our own destruction and to "be safe." What if it is all nothing? Not in the way the mind conceives of nothing. That is "something" again. Not the opposite of form and things. But, actually nothing. Completely empty.
Can all frames be ended? Is it even a valid question? I think it is. We are so distracted, so absorbed, so shocked and fearful, so divided, these types of questions don't enter the human mind with any weight behind them. We are the cat, chasing the feather.
No-thing. It encompasses mind, but the mind cannot approach it. The movement of time and thought (the frame, no matter how it is shifted) is not significant to it. No-thing is the shattered frame. Empty and still. Unmovable. It holds everything and nothing. Right? Does that make sense?
From my interpretation, this is what Kubrick was getting at in "2001." The monolith being perception. And, when the glass breaks the total mind is awakened. Death on the one hand to the nonsense and the imposed limits of self. But, the arrival of total being, which is really no arrival at all. Because that implies the frame again. No-thing is beyond all of it. This-ness?
The murder of President Kennedy created a deep layer in the frame of our consciousness. Fortified its existence in the limited field of time. That was the intent. We, I think, are pushed into our own suffering, used as a resource and denied our birthright to the infinite. That works only as long as we are checked into the Coma Hotel. When we check out, hotel rules no longer apply.
David, good to see you here.
Phil, Sibel Edmonds, Gladio and Allen Dulles. Thanks.
