People have a hard time wrapping their head around this sometimes, because we are taught to think in linear ways where things have a beginning and an end. That which is causeless has no beginning, and will have no end. It is eternal. It has always existed.
It is "somethingness" as opposed to "nothingness", for nothingness cannot be. There is no nothingness. There has only ever been "somethingness" and this "somethingness" is consciousness. This is beingness. This is existence.
This awareness that has existed forever long, why is this the case? If I understand correctly, "somethingness" is synonymous with awareness, but why "nothingness cannot be"?
