Nothingness and the Brain
by lightsaber ~ January 27, 2008
My study of my brain has led me to realize that the place of nothingness is in my brain. I watched my brains response to my actions that I make with my body. My posture, my voice, my response time, my speed when moving, my gestures, smiling all effect my brain and helps in the process of creating thoughts. The information I have about the different actions creates the effect those actions have on my brain. What does this mean? That my actions themselves are not good or bad it is my information that makes them good or bad. After realizing this then I wondered: is there any natural actions that my brain responds to without any judgement. I realized that even since my first day on Earth I was bombarded with information around me that told me what was good and what was bad. When I laughed my parents laughed. When I cried they were not happy. When I smilled they smilled and on and on and on. The next question that came up was what did my brain think before the external influence. I asked myself this question and reflected deeply inside for the answer. The only answer I received was Nothing. That means that all this time the meditators search to become nothing is not something to become at all. It is the natural state of everyone. Realizing this was a huge relief. I don’t need to gain anything because I already have it inside of me.
