The gravity of words...

Keyboards can easily be used to produce words, phrases and sentences. All the letters are in front of you, calling out to be used. Processing letters can easily be shaped and formed into whatever your imagination and vocabulary can allow. Where your travels will go is at the speed of your typing.

It can be very pedestrian in comparison to graphics! Like "see[ing] the light by braille", it can make one long for nonverbal ways to supplement the piecing together of letters. Somehow, the indirect seems more direct, and letters, words and sentences don't contain the complexity of the ideas that long to emerge.

Words can act like a tower of Babel, but can also act like a leaky vessel. This gravity of words can stoke a desire to fly, but it can be the foundation toward another level of reality.

When travelling by words, jump for joy!

The travails of creation...

This is the first post after my sister-in-law produced a new nephew. I just wish I could produce something.

That's the difficult thing about posting. It can be like the enchantment of birth, but it can be like the exhaustion of busywork. Moreover, the anticipation or hiddenness of ideas as they emerge in my real world (as opposed to the virtual world) can short-circuit any motivation.

So it seems easier to seek than find!

Intermission

Whew! While I continue to incubate something else that's abstract, confusing and potentially stimulating, take a break.

I'm currently waiting to see what my sister-in-law will bring into the world next. Whether it will be a new nephew or niece remains to be seen. The e-mail awaits...

While churning out stuff to write, I read The [Wittenberg] Door Magazine and drink Coke. I also have another website. Feel free to drop by...

As for personality, I'm an INTP (Myers-Briggs) and type 5 (Enneagram). So when I sound confusing, complex, complicated or abstract, I probably am.

Anyways, hope this holds you until my next post. I'm still learning...

The end of nonexistence...

Somehow, some type of grief happens when nonexistence ends. The time before existence begins seems to be safe and secure, protected from the vulnerability and corruptibility that's possible when something exists. When something starts, it's possible for it to end; when that's impossible, it's perceived as eternal. Nonexistence can seem to have an eternal quality, for it is possible that it may not end at all. That's just an illusion, however. What seems like eternity is only a temporary suspension, vulnerable to end at any moment.

So why does it seem like eternity? The first time we encounter nonexistence, it lacks a beginning; it has only a possible end. After that, nonexistence seems to develop a beginning when the existence of something ultimately ends! Does nonexistence develop a beginning independently or siphons one from existence? Consider that existence may need nonexistence to end as a condition to begin, but it does not depend on nonexistence to begin as a condition to end. Nonexistence is only the result of existence ending!

The crux of the matter is this:

Existence can begin or end always. Nonexistence can always end, but can not always begin. Can nonexistence acquire a beginning?

Here's one answer:

Before existence begins, nonexistence exists. When existence begins, nonexistence nonexists. After existence ends, nonexistence exists. So nonexistence can not end, it just nonexists (or temporarily suspends itself)! In actuality, nonexistence can not begin!

Therefore, nonexistence is permanently temporarily suspended!


So have no fear today!!!
