BEING CONSCIOUS: Part 2 — I'm A Lie

[3 of 5—to begin click here:  BEING CONSCIOUS: A Brief Introduction]

Now No-Thing's in and on and any and all the rest, and intrigued to say the least, but No-Thing wants to know more.  The story's only just begun after all.  Every ending is a new beginning.  And... 

3.    I AM

So No-Thing wonders anew and goes, “Ah..., ...mmmmm.”

Ah!  What’s this?  Ah feels all mmm.  Mmmmm!

Well, this is new again.  No-Thing already knows 'new' and it likes this one even more.  Mmm-mmm-mmm!  In fact No-Thing loves it.  So quite naturally No-Thing wonders what it is—just like we did.

“Ah..., ...mmm.”  “Ah... mm.”  “Ah-m.”  Um...  what’s um?  Well, um is wondering because No-Thing's thinking, and it has another go.

“Ah... mm.”  “Ah-m.”  A-m.  I-m.  I am!  Great! 

So that's how A B.  I be because I am.  That's almost too easy.  Now No-Thing’s getting real busy ah-ing and um-ing all over the place.  Wherever that is.  It’s trying different ways to ah and um. 

“Ah..., ...mmm-aaah.”  “Ah..., ...mm-ah?”  A ma!

“Ah..., ...mmm-eeee.”  “Ah..., ...mm-ee?”  A me!
“Ah..., ...mmm-iiiii.”  “Ah..., ...mm-ii?”  “Oh my!"

So that’s what I Am: “I Am Me!”  I'm mama.  Hey, I'm a ma-mee!  And since No-Thing realizes it’s own creation, let’s just say that No-Thing realizes herself as a she.  Well, she is a mama now.  If she realizes her own creation, that's only natural.  We'd even say she comes into being by immaculate conception.  Well, wouldn't we?

“Ah..., ...mmm-ohhh.”  “Ah..., ...mm-oh?”  A mo!  Well, that's not very long, is it?  Oh, that's right now.  Just a mo!  I get it.

No-Thing puts herself all together—now that she’s on—and murmurs, “Ah..., mm..., nnn.” 

I'm in.  I'm on!  Exactly, so that’s what’s going on—going in is going on!  And furthermore, what’s going on is finally beginning to sink in. 

“Ah..., ...mmm-uuuu.”  “Ah..., ...mm-uu?”  A mu.  A moo!?  What?  Is she a cow now?
“Ah..., ...mooo-nnn.”  “Ah..., ...moo-n?”  A moon!  I am a moon.  That's what I am when I'm in.  It's what I feel I am even if I can't see a part of me out there.

So No-Thing wonders about all this newness and nowness, and whether she can be anything else as well.  Then she realizes, sure she can, “Ah-m ah-nee:” ‘I'm any!’  And by extension, “Ah-m m-ah-nee:” ‘I'm many!’  Many and any—well, that’s a whole bunch of possibilities right there.  So maybe she’s not just any old potential field but an infinitepotential field.

And naturally the floodgates open as No-Thing, realizing the great I Am, gets to realize herself over and over again, putting all kinds of new ‘ah-m-n’ sounds together: 

I am Man; I am a Man now! I am now in; I am now on; I am knowing; I am none; I am A; I am in A; I am an A; I am an eye; I am in awe; I name; I name me Mama; I am naming me, Me!; I am Mama; I am my name; Am I my name?; I mean my name; I moan; Am I moaning?; I am mine; I am mining; I am a mine! I am in Me; And the list goes on, and on, and on now I'm in.  Amen.

And eons pass as No-Thing realizes herself, playing with all the potential sounds of, ‘I'm me, now I’m on.’

SOMETHING?

OK, before we proceed with our story, let’s think about something for a moment.  Let’s be reasonable.  We can do that can't we?  Because isn't this all highly questionable?  Yep, it sure is.

“Look, it’s impossible to expand on nothing,” you might say.  “Sure, you can get all fancy and call nothing a name, but you still got nothing, nada, zip.”  That sounds right, doesn’t it?  Well, let’s see. 

What is no thing anyway?  How can we say?  How can we know?  We can’t.  We can’t describe it because it’s nothing.  Then how can we argue about it?  All it has is a name we gave it, and what name that means is up to us, right?  Nothing is an idea we can't positively understand unless we say it's some thing that's in and on, and that's it.  That's positive.  Other than that we can only think of it in negative terms—of what it's not.  Since it isn't out it's hidden and it's not going off either, that's why it seems like nothing to us.  It isn't anything but it can be.  Nothing is nn-defined.  And that means it's undefined.

Anyway, so far this story is all about No-Thing doing nothing, then coming to and realizing itself as ‘I’ or ‘a.’  Then it’s all on.  We also discovered how it 'b' as soon as it realizes ‘I Am.’  C?  Sure, we might be rude and say it’s not being anything very much, but at least it’s doing something now: it’s realizing itself as One and becoming something else altogether.  And that’s a pretty big thing right there.

At first, all No-Thing can understand about No-Thing is that, well, it’s literally no thing.  So we gave it a name that's really a non-name.  We named it something even though it's nothing just to make things easy on ourselves.  It is, but what?  It's No-Thing.  At first No-Thing is as unknown to itself as it is to us.  Why?  Because No-Thing is not doing anything it’s aware of yet.  It hasn't realized anything.  It sees nothing because No-Thing beholds no thing.  So nothing is, and No-Thing beholds nothing.

But that means No-Thing is holding itself.  Hmm.  That sounds logical, and strange at the same time. How can that be?  Let’s see. 

We already said No-Thing’s going ‘Ah,’ because it’s breathing: “Aah... aaah,” over and over.  That’s what No-Thing does when it’s doing nothing and how can you be doing less than nothing?  That’s No-Thing holding ‘Ah’ in a rhythmic pattern.  In that case nothing’s holding ‘Ah’ or ‘I.’   And since No-Thing realizes itself as ‘I’ then it must be holding itself.  Well then, it does make sense if you think about it. 

In any case, if you don’t want to believe the story or you don’t want to believe anything at all, the absolute least you can say is, "Nothing’s possible."  We can hardly be more negative than that can we?  And yet that still means nothing is, and furthermore it's possible.  So if nothing is possible, then the idea we called No-Thing is possible too.  No-Thing might not seem to be much of a hero (or should we say hero-in?) but at least she’s holding the possibility of herself.  And that’s definitely something.

But hey, wait a minute.  What did we just say?  “No-Thing is possible.”  That’s exactly what we said.  So if nothing’s possible and we also know something’s possible (well, we're something and we're here, we know that much), then our story about something coming from nothing is possible too.  There’s no reason it can't be.

See, if nothing’s possible and that’s something, then something is possible too.  Which means ‘I am possible.’  Thank goodness for that.  It’s just as well since you feel, ‘I am,’ don’t you?  Well I know I do, and I'm willing to bet you do too or you wouldn’t be reading this.

‘I am possible,’ harkens back to the potential field we postulated at the beginning of our story.  In that case, what we’re saying here is that we’re all potential, or at the very least part of a field of potential.  And that potential is what nothing’s all about.

Even when we say, "It's impossible," what we're actually saying is it's in-possible.  So that means 'it' is within the range of possibility.  Sounds a lot like a potential field even we we think it isn't.  We just can't get around this notion of potential being, whether we think we have something or nothing at all.

However, it's actually true that the less there is the more is possible.  Look at it this way:

Imagine space with nothing in it.  Now, consider what might be there.  It could be anything, right?  There’s no limit to what can be there since nothing’s there now.  But as soon as you put something in that space then there’s at least one thing it can’t be anymore: it can’t be empty space.  So it’s in the nature of nothing to be potentially something, and even potentially anything.  It’s in the nature of No-Thing to realize something; something from nothing.

OK, now we've established something even when there's nothing, so we really need to talk about it. 

Well, what on Earth have we been doing?  Talking about something is precisely what we’ve been doing.  We started out with nothing of course, but then we realized something.  Exactly, and maybe it’s time to name it.  How can we talk about something if we don't know what to call it.

In that case, let’s introduce our second character.  We’ll call Ah—or I, or No-Thing when she realizes herself—“Sum-Thing.”  Why not?  It’s our story and we can call it what we want.  Besides, so far sum-thingis the sum total of ‘ah-ah’ and ‘ah-nnn’ and ‘ah-mmm’ altogether, in which case they add up to something being all together, so that makes sense.  Sure, you’re probably thinking it’s not very imaginative.  But it’ll do for now.

Now we have something being Sum-Thing, and at the risk of redundancy let’s recap the story so far just to make sure we haven’t missed something else.

First No-Thing goes,“Ah-ah,” then “Ah-nn” and “Ah-mm.”  No-Thing wakes up and realizes herself and feels ‘Ah’ or ‘a’ or ‘I,’ depending on how you want to look at it.  Then when she goes ‘n’and ‘m’ she feels even more of herself. 

Obviously, being on is feeling more altogether.  It’s feeling ‘Ah’ and ‘n.’  Except of course No-Thing is still nothing, that’s all—but it's potentially anything.  We might even say this is when No-Thing comes into being for the first time: as n-ah-thing.  At any rate,‘Ah-n’ is definitely realizing something more than plain old ‘Ah.’ 

When No-Thing becomes something more again going all, Ah-m, No-Thing realizes her potential is greater than just ‘I’ because, having realized ‘m’ as well now, she asks, “I-m?”  And then she realizes, ‘I am.’  ‘I am Me’ and ‘I am Me-in.’  Well, that's ‘mien,’ mean-ing how she appears to be.  So now No-Thing has a face, right?  I mean, what else is she going to think?  No-Thing's facing who she is and what she can be, really.  She's putting in an appearance and looking at her do-me-in; her domain.  And that's her realm then, right?  That's where she's real.  Cool, No-Thing rules!

So No-Thing's exploring her domain. That's where she is, and what she is too.  Maybe it's no definite thing yet, but that's because No-Thing's a potential feel-do.  And No-Thing has dominion over her potential field.  That only makes sense.  Who else rules in her realm?  And so the face she's getting going on is her do-mien-or: her demeanor.  That 'or' even shows us her potential to be anything else as well.

Oh, let's just come right out and say it, No-Thing's expressing herself.  She puts her face on to go out.  That's how she's going out—by expressing something of her potential.  In other words, when she comes in she in-presses or impresses herself!  Who else?  And when she lets go she expresses herself.  Then when Sum-Thing comes out she re-presses herself by breathing in again and a little bit of nothing has been defined.

Now, we did say it's the end of nothing when something comes into being, right?  So every time No-Thing realizes something a little part of nothing ceases to be nothing anymore.  Yet she can still be something more, or anything else as well.  There's no limit of course because she's an infinite potential field.  So every end is a new beginning of something else altogether.  You see, No-Thing aspires to be something and that's why she's going out.  Like a flame in reverse.  Nothing's going, going, gone.

Now, when No-Thing’s asleep she just goes, “Ah...aah,” because all she’s doing is breathing and lying around doing nothing—which is only natural.  But let’s face it, ‘ah-ah’ is just saying the same thing twice really.  It’s repetitive and not the least bit interesting, doing the same old thing over and over—no wonder it took so long for No-Thing to wake up.  Or did it?  Until she wakes up she isn't realizing anything so she has not idea about time either.  All we can say is she wakes up when she wakes up.  It's a bit like us really if you think about it.

But when No-Thing does wake up she goes, “Aah...” and then wanting to realize more of herself she goes, “...nnnn?”  So Ah-n, and Ah can feel it!  Then, 'I am' and 'I' can feel it too.  Which is great because ‘I’ am getting all excited when Ah-mm-nnn. 

So mmm and nnn are different sounds Ah make.  They’re all parts of me, and all togetherthen, I Am—which is Sum-Thing, that’s for sure.  In fact, now, No-Thing's really something!  Well, she is when she comes to realize herself anyway.  She realizes she's playing ‘ah’ part which is a part.  Oh, right.  So she's playing apart.  It’s ‘ah’ game: well, go-me!  Sure, that's how ah-m ga-me.  And that's gamma, too.

At least No-Thing knows what she is at this point, because No-Thing can always feel Sum-Thing when she wakes up and focuses, and then she realizes she’s playing something, apart.  Good enough.  But what exactly is she? 

Well, all No-Thing’s doing is being Sum-Thing when she goes Ah and n and m.  That’s all.  In which case No-Thing is All.  And that's all No-Thing can be?  Let’s see.  

By waking up No-Thing becomes Sum-Thing.  They're the same thing as soon as No-Thing realizes it.  Therefore, if No-Thing is All, Sum-Thing must be All too.  But how can that possibly be?  Because if it's true, it means:

• nothing is something; 
• something is nothing; 
• nothing is all; and
• something is all.

Man, that sounds crazy.  Is No-Thing as confused as we are?  Maybe No-Thing’s falling apart.  Or is she flying apart?  Maybe she's failing a part, or fooling a part.  What if she's fleeing or fueling a port; or simply filling a part?  It's confusing alright.  She might be doing all of these and more, or nothing at all.  Hmm.

But wait, since I’m on now, maybe I can find out.

4.    ALLY

So how do we reconcile this conundrum of All being nothing and something at the same time?  How can All be two distinctly different ‘things’ at the same time?  And where did All come from in the first place?  What kind of crazy game is this? 

Well, we already said No-Thing becomes Sum-Thing when she comes to and realizes herself as being All together.  But what exactly is this 'All' being realized?  No-Thing wonders again, and then quite naturally she realizes something anew.  Or maybe it's something 'Ah' knew all along but she just didn't realize it yet:

“Aaaah..., ...lllllllllllll.”  What’s this then? 

It’s No-Thing realizing ‘ah-lll,’ that’s all.  And No-Thing plays around with another sound, the sound of All.

“Aah..., ...laaaa.”  Ah-la?

“Aah..., ...lalala.”  Look out, now No-Thing’s going all la-la! 

Well she sounds cheerful enough, though maybe just a little loopy—you know, going round and round with the same sound, just like she does when she’s breathing.  Hmm.

What is this ‘la?’  And what’s ‘ah-la-la-la?’  That’s distinct.  It’s the usual ‘ah’ and then a repetition of ‘la’ all strung out.  Lalalalala.  It sounds like someone’s singing.

But what does ‘la’ mean?  Lay?  Lee?  Lie?  Low?  Lieu (that’s a place!)? 

Ah la-la: I lay low?  Low is a place, right?  It’s a low place not a high place.  Hey, maybe No-Thing’s found somewhere to be!  Maybe No-Thing’s lying low.  Low, huh?  Well, she is coming in; and then Sum-Thing’s going out.  Does that mean Sum-Thing's high?

Being out is where the action is and being in is out of the action—so that’s lee.  In and out.  That's breathing in, and then being all out of breath.  When No-Thing's all in Sum-Thing is All laid out—but then so is she as well.  And when Sum-Thing's laid out something comes in too.  In two: in and out.  Into?  Something comes into being—something else altogether.  Hmm.

In any event, No-Thing's lying low.  Hey, isn't that the sound a cow makes?  Yeah, we're back to cows now.  What's up with the cows?  Are they sacred or something?

Anyway, when No-Thing becomes Sum-Thing she realizes she’s doing something, and that's because No-Thing’s lying around doing nothing.  Ah, wait.  No-Thing’s la-ing ah round!  Then when she focuses on herself something comes out.  And that's All That Is.

So even when she’s doing nothing No-Thing’s still laying ‘ah’ round breathing in and out just like we do: ah-ah,... ah-ah,... ah-ah.  And now No-Thing realizes that’s how she’s lying around doing nothing, because that’s what breathing is: laying ‘ah’ round.  So in order to exist—even as nothing—first No-Thing must be all laid out. 

OK, nothing is laid out.  Well, that makes sense because that’s what I’m doing when I’m lying around doing nothing as well: I’m all laid out.  And when nothing is laid out that also means nothing's there!

When No-Thing comes to, she draws ah in and then lays ah out again over and over, creating ah round. Well, is that being lazy or what?  Yeah, everyone says I’m ‘lays-ah’ when I’m just lying around even though I’m really busy breathing.  In any event that’s what No-Thing finally realizes she’s doing as she wakes up. 

The difference between nothing before and something after is simply the realization of doing it.  That’s what makes it real.  Realization creates something where there was nothing before.  First we have nothing then, "Got it!"  And that's when we realize it.  We do it all the time.

So No-Thing’s becoming conscious by realizing she’s lying around.  Lying around is now No-Thing’s reality.  It’s her truth.  And as she realizes it something happens: she wakes up.

But still, No-Thing's lying when she realizes she’s doing something.  She’s having a lie in—or is that heaving a line?  So maybe when she lets go she's heaving a lie out—which makes Sum-Thing a lout, or alight, or a lot.  Well Sum-Thing is All That Is.

Having a lie-in is doing something even if it's not doing very much, and heaving a line is definitely doing something, that's for sure.  Doing nothing is something because it's laying ‘ah’ round!  But that means Sum-Thing’s a lie too, because when No-Thing's heaving a lie out Sum-Thing's the lie being heaved.  Man, all of a sudden it sure sounds like there's a lot more than nothing going on, and it's All coming out.  No wonder we said doing nothing is really doing something.  Nothing is really something and something is really nothing, that's all.  That's why it's all a lie!

See, this is where the paradox that All is No-Thing and No-Thing is All comes in.  No-Thing is a lie, because even when she’s doing nothing she’s still doing something—even before she realizes it.  No-Thing’s always doing nothing and something at the same time.  No-Thing is a lie when she’s all in because then she's all laid out, and she’s also a lie when she’s all out doing something because then Sum-Thing's All in.  It’s a different aspect of the lie but a lie nonetheless.

But wait, when she’s going ‘ah-n’ she’s not going ‘ah-laa,’ is she?  So how is she a lie in that case? 

Well, if she’s Sum-Thing when she does something or anything, then she must be All too because something and anything is All That Is.  And like we said earlier, that’s what a sum is too.  So she’s inherently a lie in all she does.  Right.  Huh?  How does that work again?

Look at it this way: it’s the idea of being apart in the first place that makes the lie. 

We can say No-Thing’s in all together or out altogether; she’s All One gathered to herself or All laid out.  And even when she’s in and out together she’s still All together.  No-Thing’s never really apart she just appears to be when she’s out, that’s all.  She’s All One, All in and All on.  Even breathing only seems to be apart: in and out.  And that’s why breathing is something, or seem-thing.  So breathing is a lie too.  Anyway, where can you draw a line on breathing?  Between in and out?  No.  Breathing is itself, it’s not really separated at all.  We just take a round of breathing and divide the cycle in theory.  One without the other can’t exist.  There's no in without out, there's only in with out.

So, no matter what No-Thing does—whether it’s ah-ah, or ah-m, or ah-nee thing else—she’s always a lie.  Therefore I’m a lie too because I’m all laid out from the very beginning—even before the beginning when I’m doing nothing.  If I’m doing I can’t be entirely nothing.  Then doing nothing is an oxymoron from the very start.  In fact the word 'nothing' tells us that.

Nothing is in-thing or on-thing or any-thing, and that means nothing must still be a ‘thing.’  It's a thing that's in, on or any.  We say something's in view when you see it and out of view when you don’t—or is it in when it’s hidden and out when we can see it, like the sun?  There’s the paradox right there too.  In is out and out is in?  Interesting.  I wonder what that tells us.  Well, it tells us that in or out depends on your point of view.

You see, since even nothing is a thing of sorts (it’s a word anyway, and that’s a thing, or an idea, which is a thing even if you can't see it) then the idea of nothing as we generally think about it doesn’t exist and can’t exist.  Our language shows us the impossibility of nothing unless it contains potential as well.  As a matter of fact, nothing holds the greatest potential because it’s totally undefined.  So nothing is a lie and what doesexist is a lie too. 

What does exist is a lie-to... well, that means what does exist is a light!  That's how Sum-Thing appears to be: as a light.  And it must be light against dark in some measure or we don't see it either.  Try putting white text on a white background.  What can you see?  Nothing.  Just like black on black, or any other version.  If we say we're 'in the dark' that means we're blind—or ignorant—but we might as well say we're 'in the light' too because if it's all light we still can't see.  We need contrast to perceive anything.  If it's not differentiated we can't make it out.

Well, nothing is undifferentiated, right?  No wonder we can't make her out.  No-Thing isn't anything and yet she can be anything because she's nothing in particular.  It's because she's nothing in particular that No-Thing can't see what she is—and neither can we.  It isn't until she lays a part of herself out that we can see anything at all.  And All we can see then is a part, so it's not All.  There's another reason 'All' is a lie.

But what does come out becomes something and then we can make it out.  So if we make it out then we must be creating what we see as well.  In fact that's how we create our reality.  Our reality is what we make out and it's all we can make out, which means we co-create everything that appears to be.  We co-create All That Is with No-Thing by being a part of Sum-Thing.

Groovy.  So are we becoming more enlightened now?  We ought to be since we’re realizing so much!  Or maybe not.  See, if what doesn't exist is a lie too, that also means nothing's potentially a light, it just isn't differentiated.  Hmm.  So potentially everything's a light?  Aha!  All is light.  I just haven't realized it yet.

In any case, as long as I’m doing nothing I’m a lie.  After all, how can I be doing and nothing at the same time?  And then when I’m doing something other than nothing I’m just a different lie.  Well, that’s a trip to lala-land and back again. 

I’m a lie.  I’m a lie.  A lie, a lie, a lie!

Hold on, that sounds like something... something else altogether.  It’s coming to me... yes.  Got it!  Ally!

Ally?

How can ‘a lie’ and ‘ally’ be related to each other?  They’re hardly the same thing are they?  One’s deceptive and the other is a help, for starters.

Let’s see.  Being allied is being related.  You can’t have things being allied unless they have some kind of relationship with each other, so how are a lie and ally related?  Sure they sound the same; the difference is in the spelling that's all, and that determines the definition.  So the difference is in the spell-ing.  Interesting.  Then to see things differently is just like casting a spell.  Well that must be the lie No-Thing's heaving out!   Very interesting.  No-Thing is a magician, eh?  And Sum-Thing is magic.  This is all beginning to sound familiar.  A magician and her magic are certainly allied.  But is that all there is to it? 

Well, No-Thing is a lie; that’s one thing.  And being 'as one' is what we do when we’re allies.  Allies form a group, right?—that's a group, as in one group.  So it's All one lie then; All in a lie.  Well, we're in a group as soon as we place ourselves in one, or as soon as we think we are.  So if we're all lying, or all eye-ing...?   What?  We’re all lies?  Or all eyes.  We're all 'I's at least, aren't we?  But maybe only when we're looking.  Hmm.  Let's see if we can get a better handle on this. 

What creates ‘a lie’ in the first place?  No-Thing does. 

And No-Thing’s going all in and all out when she’s lying ah-round doing nothing.  She has to in order to exist at all—even as nothing—and we already said that nothing is so that means nothing exists.  Therefore, No-Thing’s doing at least one thing when in fact she should be doing none—just like I say when I’m lying around doing nothing.  If I were strictly honest I'd have to say, "I'm breathing."  So I’m breathing in and out at the very least even when I say I’m doing nothing.  Of course when I say I’m doing nothing I’m talking too, which is another thing altogether.  Saying I’m doing nothing is a lie right there.  It’s an illusion of another degree.  So that's just more spelling.

The truth is that All is nothing.  At least that’s where we started: nothing is and nothing is all.  But nothing is a lie because even nothing is something if only it would realize it.  That's the truth.  Or something is.  So something is nothing when it's realized.  But then something is a lie as well.  Good grief, now the truth is a lie too?  Holy moly.  What are we supposed to think now?  That nothing is real?  Hmm.  No wonder everything seems to be a paradox.

In any case, No-Thing realizes herself as Sum-Thing—which means All together—and that means it must be one thing, since it’s the sum of all things.  Sure, something is one thing, and so is nothing in its own way.  They're two things all rolled into one.  It all depends on how you want to look at it.

Nothing is one thing, which sounds a heck of a lot like a lie.  And then it’s really two things while it’s being one thing, which is another lie.  Man, we got lies upon lies here now. 

So what about being allied?  How does that work? 

Well—lalala—first off, we’ve got each and every ‘la’ being allied to all the other ‘la’s.  All together they form an alliance of ‘lie’s: an a-lie-in—see?  And then of course we have the two things No-Thing’s doing—in and out—they’re allied too, aren’t they?  Sure they are.  They’re never really separate in the first place.  So breathing in and out is an alliance right there—and we even figured out it has to be a conspiracy too (well, they are 'spiring' together). 

If No-Thing stays out, we don’t have anything; in fact we can’t have anything at all.  All we have is..................., or not even that: no space, no time, no thing, no where, no when, no how.  We can't call it anything or even think about it.

But when No-Thing draws herself in and then out, and repeats this over and over again, and finally realizes she’s doing it, then No-Thing knows she exists as Sum-Thing: the sum of in and out. 

If Sum-Thing were only all in it couldn’t ever be out; and if Sum-Thing were all out it couldn’t be in—so No-Thing wouldn’t be on and couldn’t do anything at all.  They need each other to work at being altogether.  They need to work All together.  So they’re allied.  In and out are allies before No-Thing realizes anything at all.  Realizing what she's doing is the Great Realization of the Great Divide, which is both a lie and ally.

It’s the parting of nothing that creates the lie of something.  Or maybe we should say the panting of No-Thing whenever she gets excited.  Breathing in and breathing out are allies.  And that’s All!  All a lie, ah-laying themselves together as One.  Got it?  Good.

FOCUSING ON THE GREAT DIVIDE: 
We're really going in and coming out
when we're all going ah-round.
That's being allied, and it's All-Eyed

Alright, so what’s All now then?  Or rather, what else can All be?  Let’s put all this lying together with the sounds we’ve realized from No-Thing so far to increase our vocabulary again.  Surely there are more spells we can realize.  We have a very good reason to call it spell-ing now, don't we?  It’s All an illusion.  We just name the lie so we can talk about it.  That's All.

Well, first we can mull it all over, can’t we?  Hey, we're already doing that.  And No-Thing’s definitely drawn a line now, we’ve seen that too: a line between breathing in and out where ah-lay-in and ah-lie-out, which even sounds like allied—so maybe what’s done is past after all, since it’s out.

And No-Thing’s leaning as well.  She's a-lining this way and that way all the time she’s breathing.  Of course, being a lie No-Thing’s got to be out on a limb to be anything at all.  And she’s sending herself two ways so we can also say No-Thing’s mailing herself to and fro. 

We can get all biblical and notice how the lion lies down along with the lamb as well.  Or is that the line and the limb, which doesn’t seem that different all of a sudden.  But we don’t have to stick with Christianity here.

Did you notice how Ah-lah was looming out of the darkness of our ignorance?  That ties things together somehow or other—I’m sure it does.

And all this talk of what is and isn’t, what's this, that and the other is rather lame now when you think about; what with all the lying going on whether we realize it or not.  It’s enough to make you feel ill if you’re not careful and you start taking it all too seriously. 

So look at that, more things are tying back together again.  Hey, maybe we’re becoming ill-uminated after all. 

But wait, this is where the whole male thing comes from too. 

No-Thing already realizes she’s ‘Me’ and ‘Ma.’  When Ma focuses herself in she lays herself out creating the energy we call male, from ma-lay or maybe ma-all.  That’s a melee if ever I heard one.  And lookie here: now we have a virgin mother creating a male.  Sounds familiar.  How about that?

She’s really got it going on when’s she’s going in and out.  And now we have the male man to prove it!  So Sum-Thing being realized is truly a man.  And didn't we already say that too?  Alright then, it's official: it's a boy!  (Well, sometimes—but that's a whole new layer to the story.)

Yes, it’s All coming together quite nicely, isn’t it, and that's a good thing.  It's a very good thing.  Sum-Thing is a cosmic orgasm from the very beginning.  Ya just gotta love that!  And it keeps going and going and going... which is something else altogether.  Yeah! 

However, there’s another thing we can notice and this one’s important too, because finally, with all this breathing and coming in and going out there’s nothing else for it but to realize that now, since she's making Sum-Thing go ah-round too, No-Thing has a life!  Double yay!  I'm guessing that's what she wanted all along.

Well, aren't you glad we got all that worked out?  Now we have a clue about what's really going on.

5.    WE

Well, well, well, so we’re really figuring things out now. 

We know No-Thing’s got Sum-Thing going on, and she’s probably thinking, “I’m All on.”  And dare we wonder how No-Thing reacts when she starts putting everything together?  It’s gotta feel good.  Let’s imagine it then, shall we?

Think about it.  No-Thing’s going like crazy, vibrating all kinds of sounds all over the place and feeling all excited about it too, we might assume.  So it’s not unreasonable to consider that No-Thing realizes Sum-Thing altogether different at some point; something truly energizing; something that sounds just a little bit like this:

“Aaah..., ...weeeeeeeee!”

Hey, that does sound like she’s having a good time.  No, really!

So we can stick with the sexual innuendo or bring this all back to the innocence of childhood for a wee while if we want.  Oh what the heck, let’s do it.

Remember being a child on a swing?  Go on now!  It’s fun.  What sound did you make? 

Weeee! 

You were so cute going weeee—I bet everyone else thought so too.  Weeeeeee!  That’s so much fun it’s hard to stop.  But we will, just so we can wonder what it means.  No-Thing’s wondering too.  Let's join her.

‘Wee.’  So what does it mean?  Well, obviously, we know.  That’s first (and maybe that’s where we came from?).

But what do we know really?  We know that ‘we’ means ‘all of us together.’  Well, that makes sense since everything’s coming together now for No-Thing too with some sort of massive feeling of loving it all more than likely—moving the way she does altogether now instead of just lying around doing nothing all the time—and then she goes: “Aaaah... weeeeeeee!”  It could happen.

What else might No-Thing realize about ‘we?’

Well, perhaps the first thing No-Thing’s likely to feel is wow!  Way to go!  Maybe she feels awe at what she’s becoming. 

Then No-Thing might wonder—feeling all this movement going so far—if a part of herself is getting away from itself.  Ow!  So maybe it’s not all good.

And if that thought was of any concern whatsoever she might cry, “Wah!” and feel just a wee bit of woe.  I can even hear No-Thing stopping it going too far, can't you?   “Wo!”

If part of herself got a little too far away she might even have to woo it back.  And then it’s possible too that she wonders why it’s doing that.  Well, wouldn’t you if coming back together again were so exciting?  That might be a very good reason right there.  None of us likes things getting too far away from us, do we?

Of course we can put ‘we’ with all the other sounds No-Thing's realized so far as well.  In which case, we have a veritable smorgasbord of possibilities.  For instance, now we know when it’s happening because that would be well and truly now. 

And where is all this potential being created?  In the woo-m of No-Thing.  Well, she is womb-in.  Or is that because she says, “Wo-man, we-man!” to remind him where he came from when Sum-Thing gets a little too carried away?  And maybe No-Thing feels the pain of labor once in a while too if there’s any kind of discord coming out from him and has a bit of a whine.  Or maybe he does.

Of course every time she’s all together again No-Thing feels One.  That’s got to be a winning feeling:

“Oh wow man.  I own me!  I win!  I’m One!”  You get the picture. 

Maybe this lying thing ain’t so bad then, even if it is All done on a whim and is a wee bit dangerous.  That’s what makes it exciting.  Weeeee!

Well?—oh yeah, sure we got well, now—well and truly.  No-Thing’s where Sum-Thing springs from too and that fills a well often as not.

And then maybe if she’s willing they can go to the wall, you know, so they can come back together again going weeeee!  Besides, a wall’s something you put between things and we’ve certainly established some kind of distance between No-Thing and Sum-Thing by now.

Just don’t pull the wool over anyone’s eyes about what’s really going on.  After all, we can’t understand the nature of the Great Lie if we forget we’re all allied within it as well.  Or does that make it a Great Lay?  It’s an important point to consider. 

See, we don’t just have a conspiracy, we have an alliance.

Yep, in the end there’s no getting around it: we’re well and truly in it All together or we’re nothing at All—or both.  It's up to you whether you want to think about any of it.

So are we a-musing ourselves yet?  Yes?  No?

Hmmm.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

So we’ve theoretically established the existence of something out of nothing by telling a story.  We’ve told it in English and used a particular sequence.  But there’s nothing sacrosanct about how we did any of this.

We might just as well have reversed the process, starting at the end and working our way forward to the beginning, or used a different order altogether.  And anyway, who can say these realizations don’t happen all at once?  After all, we began our story in no time.

We might have used different words to tell the tale, and even different languages.  There’s a lot to choose from.  It’s already been conjectured that all language shares the same source.  This isn’t a new idea at all.  So there’s really nothing stopping us from using the codes we’ve found with different words in different languages with similar meaning to tell a different version of the same story.

Having said that it's important to note that a direct translation of this text is pretty much useless unless the main idea is understood, and compensation made, substituting phrases and words and probably even altering the sequence itself.  Each language has its own culture.  This makes it difficult.  Doable maybe, but tricky.

In any case, let’s also note how language itself is a symbol of something emerging from nothing.  A word is not the thing itself but rather a sign or, vibrationally speaking, a signal of something else.  And this alignment holds a clue—a key to understanding—which is that the sign is empty until it’s assigned a meaning.

In other words, we have nothing until something’s realized—from nothing.  How appropriate!  And isn’t that exactly what we’ve just been talking about then?  Excellent point.

Mission accomplished.
