Post #12 "Nothingness"

Science cannot answer the question, "What came before the Big Bang" and admits that maybe nothing existed before our universe. (Astronomy, May 2007). "The universe is mainly made up of nothing, that something is there is the exception. Nothing is the rule." Carl Sagan (The Varieties of Scientific Experiences). The existence of 'nothing' best describes the void.

What is nothing? What about the existence of 'nothing'? Is 'nothing' what non-existence is all about? What is there about 'nothing' that creates image? Does 'image' then exist? Can that which is image be created by nothing? Image certainly cannot be created by Reality. Reality IS. Reality has no need or purpose to create. Why would that which is REAL, create that which is not real-not real as in image? What about the Genesis account that says that humanity is created in the image of God? Could there be a deeper meaning to this than what has been thought? It would seem that image is that which would be identified as projection. Energy would provide the force that transmits a reflection or an image on to a surface. Projection is energy. All matter reduces back to energy. The surface of the projection of the image does not exist. Is image then, energy projected into space, into nothingness? This suggests that image exists only to image and within image. This suggests that creation exists only to and within itself.

The total energy inventory is finite, yet it cannot be used up. Energy never diminishes. Energy is never lost, destroyed nor is it born. ( Bob Berman, Astronomy May, 2007) "Physicists have calculated that every cubic centimeter of empty space contains more energy than the total energy of all the matter in the known universe." University of London physicist, David Bohm, who studied under Einstein believes in this finite ocean of energy and further says that matter does not exist independently from the sea, from so-called empty space. It is a part of space. Bohm says further that the universe is a very small pattern of excitation and gives rise to approximate recurrent, stable separable projections into a three-dimensional explicate order of manifestation. In other words, the universe does not exist as itself....it is only a passing shadow. In other words, creation is an image!
