LOL
Thanks me. That is funny.
Thinking more seriously along those lines though;
“Nothing” highlights one of the more difficult aspects of the Orobouros. It is conceptual. Nothing, a no-thing. Can we conceive of it? Even when we think of space, which is not a no-thing but the closest we know of it, we think vacuum, space, planets, stars, and the universe. To conceive of nothing we must contrast it with the notion of something. To be honest the only way I can grasp it is this way; the universe is something and everything, now imagine this, it’s gone. No vacuum, no planets, no stars, no life, and no thought. And I just thought of nothing, does that make it something? If I put voice/or writing to these thoughts they become what? Just how blurry can our concepts be and yet remain the truth? And not just the truth as we know it/see it but reality as defined by the existence of everything. With the Orobouros the concept is complete, the cosmic egg if you like, because it conceives of both ends of everything; life and death, nothing and everything, light and dark, beginning and ending with no beginning or ending… it is all one thing. Completely unimaginable. We can’t grasp its entirety. We break everything down into little parts we can understand where time become linier, rock is solid, and we exist only within the parts we see and can label. We try too hard to understand something before we can think of it as being real or existing. We want proof and vindication from others before we believe. We want tangibility. Even in the antithesis of this we use the Orobouros as a representation. It is difficult to think of everything and nothing coexisting. How do beings like us think of no beginning and no ending? We even accept the idea that our universe was born one day and in all likelihood it will end too. Where will it go when it ends? This is getting longer than I intended.
But much of the Orobouros concepts can be observed in nature and are actually quite simple until you try putting the big picture together. LOL
Where did I learn of the Orobouros or come to understand its concepts(I’m sure I’m wrong about some things)? How do I impart that to others in writing? That is impossible. It is a culmination of studies, mostly science I suppose but some religion too, that always leaves me with more questions than found answers. Math and science constantly run into the patterns of the Orobouros. Most try to explain it away or simplify it, some just ignore it as an inconvenience or even acknowledge it as a variable or unknown. As our understanding of the math grows many “variables” are being filled in with predictable numbers. A lot of interesting things have been discovered in math in recent years.
Beauty of a write Aish.
