The One Infinite Creator becoming aware

[anagogy]

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"?

If nothingness could "be", it would exist, and by definition, it would then be "somethingness", and certainly not nothingness. ;) It cannot transcend its own definition.

"Nothingness" is a word for a concept which depicts a state of infinite lack. I'm not sure I can provide a more satisfying answer to your question.

Everything exists, because nothingness cannot.

It doesn't go any farther than that. Having a word or label like "nothingness" makes it seem like nothingness is a "thing", something that could exist, an object that may be referenced, but it is not a thing. It is not an object. It is a language reference to a hypothetical (and illusory) state of absolute lack. Try imagining it. If you came up with anything, it wasn't nothingness. You can't imagine nothingness. Existence can never get a foothold in nonexistence. It can only explore illusory depictions of it. You exist, and you always will. Not in the same form, but you will always exist. Consciousness cannot actually become un-conscious. It can only forget that it was conscious. The absence of memory evidence is not evidence of absence. ;)

There is no infinite lack.

6.7 Questioner: How were you able to make the transition from Venus? Did you have to change your dimension to walk upon the Earth?

Ra: You will remember the exercise of the wind. The dissolution into nothingness is the dissolution into unity, for there is no nothingness. From the sixth dimension, we are capable of manipulating, by thought, the intelligent infinity present in each particle of light or distorted light so that we were able to clothe ourselves in a replica visible in the third density of our mind/body/spirit complexes in the sixth density. We were allowed this experiment by the Council which guards this planet.

The default nature of the omniverse is a state of infinite abundance. Infinite well being. Infinite joy. Infinite love. Infinite peace. Infinite creativity. Infinite unity. A plenum, as opposed to a vacuum. All illusory experiences of lack are the resistance of this infinite plenum of everythingness. Infinity had no beginning, everythingness has always been. It is only the excursions into finity that have a beginning, and because they have beginnings, they will also have an end as well. This means that no matter how lost in illusion you become, you (and every other piece of consciousness in existence) will always, and inevitably, return to the remembrance of what you really are -- *intelligent infinity* (the One Infinite Creator).
