Vacuums
Nature abhors a vacuum. And so do I. Which is why I’m so glad I just paid the carpet cleaners a hundred bucks to come in and clean up my floor. Dirt begone! Now that it’s dry and the chemical smell is gone, it’s darn perky around here.
Actually, nature adores a vacuum, if you judge by percentage of volume. 99.999…etc% of everything is a vacuum, or more specifically, empty space. Of course now we know that outer space, even between the stars, is not a true vacuum, so the whole vacuum thing is a little iffy these days. A true vacuum is more a mental concept than a physical one. Outer space is just vacuumish. The best vacuums these days are probably manmade.
Ilchi Lee said that if one wants to create, the first thing to create is nothing. Because nothing calls everything in. Once one has nothing, everything else rushes in to fill it. Makes sense to me. Nothing is actually the most valuable thing in the whole wide world, because it’s so utterly rare. Outer space is not nothing, it’s filled to brimmin’ with dark matter, photons, little eensy chunks of this n’ that, space gas maybe. Certainly not nothing.
Nothing is something we have to make if we want any. Maybe someday I will find some.

oh my gosh, I had an interesting experience with vacuums on the weekend ~
we had a glass glob lamp, that had that cool lightning effect when you touched it, explode (as it fell upside down to the floor) into tiny shards in a bedroom.
all that air and glass wanted to touch everything in the room at once. Aside from it being really cool, how a hand sized glass glob managed to fill a room with shards of glass, it was equally annoying as we spent the day cleaning out the room to discover that my little vacuum cleaner didn’t like vacuuming small shards of glass… *sigh* thank goodness for carpet sweepers.
I wonder now if popping glass vacuums is much the same as popping illusions? Mentally i think about seeking out shards of illusions with my ever trusty carpet sweeper… hehehe
Shards of illusion are best cleaned my a sweeper and not a vacuum. When illusion enters a vacuum it becomes way to shardy.
Thanks azyh, and here’s to fewer illusions! (Or maybe more illusions, since I’m rather fond of them, acturally, since many people call life itself an illusion, and I like that kind.)

well maybe i am more into the illusions of truth or authenticity of self
can we live in these limits of life and be illusion free?
maybe thats the good news, and why we make the world what it is?
what would it be like if we all decided on making a loving supportive world that forgives the past and enjoys the present and creates a future that harmonizes with all to transcend these limits of illusions?
do we all go pop and becomes shards then… or has that already happened?
Wow, Azyh, I don’t think I’m qualified to tell what is illusion and what isn’t. Lots of really smart people tell me things are illusory, and a bunch of other really smart people say they aren’t. All I know is what I experience, and for all I know, that’s illusion, or maybe not. My heart tells me it’s not that important, and I sure believe my heart a lot more than my mind.
Authenticity of self is a noble goal, and I believe in that very much. I think it may be too late for me though, which is why I am so adamant about the importance of children being taught to be authentic to themselves.
Were I to be authentic, it would just create the problem of which me?
Well pshaw,
xoxo!
