71. Space.

What can we say about space? It seems to be everywhere in the feeling of it and no-where as a object with a scientific proof that can substantiate its existence, other than people concluding so, without any other option.

Space can be thought of something as an absence. Absence of objects could be space. But there seems to be space in matter too. It is not displaced to accommodate matter. If we accept space as non- matter or an absence, then we have to accept an idea that matter seems to be moving in / present in non-matter or in absence, like planets in space.  Its like imagining, whatever is present is basically amalgamated in what is absent. That is a paradox.

The problem remains that space cannot be something. We are not displacing anything, when we move around freely. So space has to be ‘nothing’. Then we are back to square one that, everything is appearing to float around ‘in’ nothing.  Nothing is not a matter of discussion at all, because, nothing cannot be said to be ‘is’ or is not’ or present or absent. When space is nothing, how can ‘things’ seemingly  float in ‘nothing’. Nothing can float in things but something cannot float in nothing.

Space could be mental. If so, then all objects, floating in ‘mental’ cannot be physical. They have to be mental too.  May be they are.

So a simple thing like space, seems to exist, seems to exist as something that is non-existing in terms of grasping what it could be and seems to be ‘neither’, as there is no way of understanding space.

All possibilities of space seem to work well, only in a dream. Space can be seemingly there, but not there as something and neither, to be true. If all dream scenes are made of dream material, then all that is seemingly in space has to be space material. There seems to no place that is not space. This would be much like God, existing everywhere and as no-thing to be anywhere.

What if space was ‘life’ itself as far as waking state is concerned. What if space was the most intelligent thing or intelligence personified as space. What if space could become hard and colourful at will and makes up the seeming world, with movement ‘as if, things and objects were not ‘of’ space. The effect of a man moving can be designed by space, by just being hard, at will, seemingly in motion. What if, space was life that was talking  you, walking you etc even when it can ‘keep’ you in itself, like in the womb of the mother?

Nothing can be said about space because it is not tangible as an object. If we believe that space as such, that is not tangible, and is only an intelligence that seems to make an appearance of space, as if, it is there, and not there, then we can believe in such other possibilities as God and Consciousness also with such formats. In fact, it is impossible to know something like space, but its possible to accept that space ‘is’. Mental or physical or whatever cannot be known, but we are so immersed in space, but still unable to figure out its nature, attributes, intelligence etc, because we could be that space itself, if we let go the feeling of ‘me’ to the body. Then what we are, could be characterised with the likeness of space, making it purely a background to all appearances of the universe as if the objective nature of the space itself was the universe. Just like space is a basic requirement for objects to be ‘or’ not to be, Consciousness or ‘I am’ ness is the background for the appearance of world of forms, thoughts and emotions.

Space is the best simile to what we are as Consciousness. Is, is not and neither, without attributes.
