Circular Squares, 1

Suppose oblivion lies on the other side of the boundaries of life. Before and after life. And here I am, imagining oblivion from a non-oblivion state.

If from nothingness we enter into something and exit back into nothingness, would that not imply the existence of an infinite number of somethings -- of lives, of realities?

Things exist only because we, with our consciousness, have the ability to determine their existence and infer their existence prior to our own.

But before I was born -- before each one of us was born -- it appears that nothing existed. So at the moment of death, if it's anything like before our birth, the entire universe will vanish once more into non-existence.

welcome to my head, David. That nothingness, is the void filled by religions, the heaven of the west, the garden of the middle east, the cycle of the far east.
