How many times, over the course of eternity have we asked, in different shapes, different forms.. "Who am I ?" - Humanity is as far as I can discern only the latest form we inhabit. And still we're asking. Still wondering. "Who am I?"

And so the answer is as usual ever changing ideas and representations of a God, who is as changeable as the forms we inhabit, in their temper, their motives and their form as we are.

No man has the same God as another. We give them names, we fight over beliefs and we hate each other for thinking differently, when in truth we all have our own ideas, our own interpretations, our own understandings. There are as many Gods as there are human beings. Though for some, God is "No God".

But nature, is always the same. It changes, yet remains the same. The rhythm of the universe, like a breath.

Eternity. It really does make everything seem rather insignificant. It makes all things small and fleeting. Everything we ever accumulated, worked for, bled for.. it is all as nothing compared to that. In the vastness of eternity, a human life is but the blink of an eye, barely perceivable. If indeed it is perceivable at all. I doubt it.

Eternity renders everything invisible.

As nothing.

Yet. If there was no one to ask the question, the question would also not exist.

The question is therefore the answer. Something had to exist, or else there would be nothing. Nothing alone can not exist. Therefore something. Buddhism claims that everything is "Emptiness" or "Shunyata". This, is what it means. Something is nothing. Nothing is something.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer." - Rainer Maria Rilke

Tat Tvam Asi. Thou art that.
