Discovering What Doesn't Change by bent

March 15th, 2013 6:50 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Find something untouched by the ravages of time; something the same as it was in the past.

I was going to take a picture of the sun. But it changes too, with every nanosecond, appearing differently at every dawn; a star that we know will one day disappear into the billions-years outflow of energy that feeds terrestrial life.

I posit that the only thing that has ever and will always, and upon which the delusion of dimension and infinity is imprinted, is nothingness.

Since it's impossible for a localized manifestation of the unified field to function let alone exist in this unrealm, I submit this representation:


- smaller

nothing

nothing

Alas! Your nothingness is something! I see it - so it is. And further, I'm afraid that your nothiness constantly changes every time it is viewed. But darn good try!

tis true

what you say. But my awe of the unbearably incomprehensible would paralyze were I not to collapse my freshman graspings into a declaration that most would be equally duped by. Thank you for understanding Dread :)

nothing107963107964.jpg oh there is something there. UP contrast, warm color, add brightness. At one point I though I saw a young lady with purple hair.

So impressed with this community or I should say

with you that my response to my praxis built into itself was picked up. I'm supposed to respond "but this is why I called it a 'representation' of nothingness". But forget this you got it.

What I was thinking is 'if someone examined the pic closely or manipulated the image they would see the light in the bottom left'. I'm starting to believe we've got it backwards--that the physical world is a manifestation of the cosmic consciousness, where thought precedes object, in fact creates it. This is represented by the hidden light (that's plain as day if you know how to look for it), the progenitor of nothingness as well, meaning there is no true nothingness.

And another thing, your prurple-haired lady inspires me to ask whether you'd want to co-sponsor a praxis, involving what people see in the haze of a pic taken in the dark and photoshopped as you did here. Or if that's too boring give people a dark photo and see what they can make of it through any means of their selection with certain ground rules.

nice to meet you, I'm pixie +3

I like you. You are thoughtful and put effort into your comments AND you like the community

The more effort you put in, the more feedback you will get.
(this is mostly true)
