NOTHINGNESS or “Shunya” of BUDDHA is No ZERO.
IT is The Primordial End State from which The Beginning of “Sva” or “i” or Self-Awareness is born.
For 1 to be comprehended as a pysicality, there has to be Less Than One. Less than 1 is Zero or “Nothing” - i.e. SHUNYA. Putting it simply, IT is The No-Thing from which All Derivatives originate. Thus, Zero or Shunya is The “VIRGIN” Womb that is The “Father”-“Mother”, so to say, GOD of “That” WHICH IS. Is The Alpha and Omega of ALL That IS. Hidden or Manifest. Born or Unborn. Seen or Unseen. THAT WHICH is “this” and “that”, which, The Human Brain perceives as Creation “here” or “there”.
So, how does The “Knowing One” or Buddha experience “Shunyta” or Nothingness?
As The BEGINNING of SELF.
The “Witnessing” BEING, as a “Physicality”, in Observable Self-Experience, “sees” The Being-ness becoming “shunya”. That is, The “more” falls, as if, into The Womb of THAT WHICH is The Ultimate “Less”. And, in THIS “Knowing” finds “That” WHICH IS. The SELF of Nothingness. And, Everythingness.
From which ALL “That” is... IS.
This is The “i” of SHUNYA.
The Enlightened One, thereafter, after ALL is “done” & “undone”, observes THIS Ultimate “i” of IT - Shunayta - “RE-BORN” as The SELF of The BUDDHA.
IT is a Physical Self-Experience. Rest is Theory. Is RELIGION. Is our Science, Engineering or Maths.
Is “this” or “that”. Is Less Than “Shunya”.
Is Less Than WHAT IS.
