Why? Why? Why?

[anagogy]

This is what's been buggling me for a while yesterday when I went through a heavy part of awakening and percing the veil.

Why is there a God? Why is there existence? Why is there even the possiblity of it all?.. Like why is there  even an infinite intelligent energy to begin with? What does it bring that nothingness lacked to be way things are? 

In short what is the Source of the Source and why is there such a thing as a Source?

It occured to me that part of wandering may have to do with reworking your basic understandings. I feel this is something I may have accepted as being the way things are since probably close to forever and that in there lies one of the lessons I'm seeking.

As crazy as this is to understand, I assure you that simply: everything is, because nothingness cannot be.

Everything exists, because nothingness cannot exist.


"Nothingness" is just a word for a conceptual state of infinite lack.  language gives us a word, for a hypothetical state of lack.  But that's all it is -- a word.  If you're stuck in a state of duality conceptualization of all this, you can think of it like: because nothingness infinitely *CANNOT* exist (because otherwise it would be "somethingness"), everythingness *HAD* to exist.  If nothingness existed, it would be something, and certainly not nothing.  


So perhaps you can see the conundrum.



Existence cannot even approach the illusion of nothing, except by limiting your awareness of the everpresent everything of existence, which is always there around you, as infinity.  So EVERYTHING exists, and its important  to understand that existence is synonymous with awareness or consciousness, because your awareness of existence, *validates* the fact  that you ARE.  "I think, therefore I AM" 


If awareness were not synonymous with existence, then existence wouldn't matter, because who would KNOW that it existed?  It might as well not exist in such a circumstance.



Now, why is there a Source of existence?  Quite simply, when everything exists, you have continuums of experience.  You have polarities of experience.  Source is simply the Infinite Witness that we are all extensions of, as parts of it.  We are all part of the same stream of consciousness, which, remember, is *existence itself*.  Awareness imparts  reality to whatever it touches.



As Ra says, you have to define infinity as unity, otherwise it has no referent or meaning.  There is no barrier keeping identical qualities apart.  Thus, ALL consciousness is one.  And that One, which we are all holographic miniature reflections of, is our Source, because it stands at the mouth of the river of existence, and has the broadest view of all.  What limits our view is our identification, which puts us some place on the river of consciousness, but you can only see downstream, so we can't see the flow, except in certain rare states of meditation, where we temporarily let go of our identification with the place on the stream we normally associate our "self" with.



What we call "densities" or "rays" are just different types of experiences within that infinity.  Every experience has a certain threshold of vibration, which determines the amount of consciousness of the whole that experience can hold, and depending on that level, determines what vibrational rate that experience is, and where it falls on the density/ray continuum.



Fun questions to ponder!
