WLC?

More self-evidently than anything else, there is flux. That is to say, any attempt to refute this statement yields its immediate confirmation. An absolute beginning of this flux would also be the ending of a prior beginningless stasis. Logically, such a situation is absolutely impossible, as beginni...

Both the "remembrance of earlier moments" and the "anticipation of later moments" (leading to the impression of an increasing distance between earlier moments and the Present, and a decreasing distance between later moments and the Present) make the ceaseless flux of the Present ...

Fundamentally, all entities at every scale of nature physically exist to other entities. Self-evidently, entities with a sufficiently high degree of structural layering (like us, and all other complex organisms whose survival involves active environmental navigation) also physically exist to themsel...

This question, if used correctly, is a way to DIRECTLY experience Reality Itself. To use it correctly is to ask it without wanting to arrive at an answer of any kind. Non-conceptually, what is? Just look.... The following is a conceptual translation of what I experience when I use this question in t...

It seems that a deep acknowledgement of this unsolvable mystery may be the most 'open-eyed' stance that could be taken. What is seen by these open-most eyes? Any accepted answer (no matter HOW all-inclusive it SEEMS to be) will effectively obscure it. Discard ALL conceptual answers, and DIRECTLY EXP...

To put it rather bluntly, the universe is actually the eternally cyclic 'flow of Nothingess'.

Why exactly does Nothingness flow?

We don't REALLY know why Movement is happening, though it seems that It can only happen AT Stillness. Just as the opposite of 'down' does not need to know how to be 'up', the opposite of Causeless Stillness does not need to know how to be the 'structured ever-changing asymmetry' that is Causeless Mo...

So that I can see and know thy Self. 'I' being the Universe, Itself. The 'I' is not the universe. The 'I' is that in which the universe appears. The 'I' cannot know or see it self. It can only BE itself. Whatever 'I' knows and sees is only a presentation of 'I' That which is presenting can never be...

But I already KNOW the answer/s. Just because 'you' do not know the answer/s, does NOT mean that the answers to simple like questions posed here are unknowable at all. The process REALLY IS very simple to understand. The actual reason WHY IT is occurring is also very simple to understand. The proce...

My current definition of a 'thing' is any particular process that 'has it's own' reality. In truth, all particular processes are actually arbitrarily delineated, impermanent 'features' of the structured ever-changing asymmetry, and therefore, none of them can EVER 'have their own' reality. There are...

... What drugs are you on? What about the sentences of mine that you have quoted here suggest that I might be on any drugs? You said... naturally occurring 'shape' of the causelessly cyclic Universal Process is the only shape that ever actually occurs in Reality. A word of advice. 1) If you are try...

Firstly, before we get to the mystery, allow me to point out what CAN be known. In truth, the naturally occurring 'shape' of the causelessly cyclic Universal Process is the only shape that ever actually occurs in Reality. Because 'Causeless Shapelessness' is ALWAYS completely structureless, ever-ch...
