HighExistence is a community of conscious individuals centered around pondering, exploring & expanding this wondrous experience called life -- See the Mission »
Hey, I'm the creator of HighExistence. I love inspiring others to follow their bliss, which in turn fulfills my own. I live for traveling, late-night conversations and moments of intense clarity or intoxication.
i have a friend whose dad is a priest so they are all very orthodox christians… and for a few weeks after we met (they had just moved into my apartment) all we talked about was God and Christianity and all that jazz (obviously :)) and i really didn’t know anything about Christianity so i listened, and questioned everything. In order to make me see the light, he gave me a collection of videos of a science teacher turned priest, Kent Hovind, who was saying the earth was around 6000 years old (creationist theory). unfortunately this guy had a terribly arrogant presentation style, and i couldn’t watch more than 5 minutes of it.
but all this i could take, and if i wanted could have believed too. the one thing i couldn’t was he kept on saying that God created us, so we worship him. and i kept thinking how wrong that was.
but now, i guess i completely agree… just replace the word God with consciousness. this is an epiphany i had recently:
in order to know you exist, you have to exist first. anything that does not exist doesnt know it doesnt. so anything that is there in existence, knows it. so there is no birth and no death. i have forever been and will be. we are all alive. even in ‘death’.
so our purpose is to know that we are conscious… see?
ok gtg now
Pls make it into a book …it would be amazing like you open it and the page starts to unfold and its one big long page with this amazing artwork on it !
I know some people in environmental fields who have the Lorax memorized as a way of showing their passion about the earth to others, I think this would be a most excellent story to memorize and tell to people to show ones passion towards something. er, Nothing.
biggest load of bull i’ve ever seen, did you even think it through? your title doesn’t even fit the topic well. Here I was hoping for an article that discusses the possibility of hereditary knowledge or feelings passed on to future generations.
Telling the story of Something and Nothing IS passing on hereditary knowledge and feelings to future generations, don’t you think?
So… you got what you were hoping for. At least I did. It may not have been exactly what you were expecting, but don’t you think that’s the beauty of the interwebs? I love finding something that I wasn’t expecting and enjoying it anyway.
Beautiful artwork, only preferred that the font was the same throughout.
Sending my love and my light to everyone who commented and to the creator of this post. Much love.
“do not throw your pearls before pigs,” I believe a saw this quote on a book on which the people who interpret it does exactly what this quote tells not to do.
Well, this things happens everytime, and with everything, as we see with Mike. :)
Quantum physics has shown us that the vast majority of all matter in the universe is made up of exactly nothing. Empty space. Look down at your hands. They are made of mostly nothing. So is everything else in the world, solar system, galaxy, universe. its funny that modern science has slowly started to realize over the course of the last century, the intimate link between nothingness and existence. Whereas Taoists and Buddhists have known it for millennia.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Moved to tears :)
What a beautiful story, beautifully expressed and then, as if that in itself wasn’t enough, the illustration is off the hook!!!!! WOW <3 <3 <3
Thank you for creating, thank you for posting.
The greatest day of my life was the day I heard the voice of Nothing, the echo of Nothing. When you let go of Everything you find Nothing and Nothing is more than anyone has ever imagined it could be. Nothing is Everything and Everything is Nothing. Truth.
I am happy to see others have found Nothing for themselves, in the end that will mean Everything.

that was the best!
nothing does something that causes everything, and it just keeps on happening, unfolding

This documentary with Nassim Haramein titled Black Whole explains the science behind how nothing is actually something. Absolutely mind boggling!

How Nothing was simply eternal conciousness of itslef reminded me of Aristotle’s Supreme Form, or the One in Neo-Platonism. I really enjoyed this :)
