Which of these unanswerable (for the mind, which is where your asking from) questions would you like us to take a stab at first :-)
You are basically asking all of ‘how’ and ‘why ‘ this apparent universe was even created.
-Buddha gave an entire Tripitaka explanation to this.
-The Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras give more clear answers than you could ever absorb in one lifetime.
-Then Adi Shankara wrote reams of dazzling Advaita text on all the above.
-Lao Tze, Jesus ,Nd and countless modern-day sages were no slouch either. They also had a lot to say about What’s It All About.
Still, with all these ancient and modern answers to your questions, you and many others keep asking them.
Hmmm…Seems like word-answers to satisfy the ego-intellect just aren’t cutting it :-)
So ya’ got a choice:
-Read all the above, and get back to us. See if they clarify it for you.
-Skip the heavy reading and realize the device you are asking these questions from - the illusory psychological ‘mind’ - is simply not equipped to grok the mysteries of itself and the universe any more than your blender motor is able to convert your living room sofa into a Lambhorgini.
-Allow the mysteries to remain mysteries. Mystery is a necessary, integral part of life, and quite beautiful. Otherwise things would be kinda dull. The highly-delusional achievement of ‘knowing everything’ is highly-overrated.
-Sit in Silence until all questions are resolved…not because all your questions got answered, but because the questioner disappears.
HInt: the 4th choice is best! :-)
Oh. And where did you get the concept of consciousness existing alone in an eternal void forever? Geez! That would give anyone the creeps.
Relax. You’ll never have to experience a forever void. You’ll be long gone. If you’re still in it, experiencing it, it can’t be a void, can it?
There is something rather than nothing, energy, and awareness… Because You asked for it!
Enjoy your life.
Enjoy being something instead of nothing.
Enjoy being energy instead of entropy.
Enjoy being Awareness, and not knowing where you came from!
