TA. BB to Existence

A

Nothing ‘came into existence.’ There’s Nothing here, Nothing happening. Only an appearance of “somethings” to the illusion called ‘mind.’

This is obvious to the (very rare) ‘no ones’ whose illusory ego-selves have collapsed back into All-Energy, such that Everything appears to “them” as simply All-Energy, random phenomena appearing to rise and fall (sometimes overly-romanticized as ‘spiritual enlightenment’ or ‘liberation.’)

Including “themselves.”

But if you’re not into ungraspable (by our very-limited minds) ‘spiritual’ dissolution or non-dual clarity, perhaps science will ‘enlighten’ you. Here is a paraphrase from older, brilliant answer by Andy Fletcher:

(Quantum physicist) Neils Bohr said, “Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”

Erwin Schroedinger described the “particles” that we are all (apparently) made of as temporaryentities within a wave field, whose form and general behavior are so clearly determined by the laws of waves, that many processes give the appearance these temporary entities are substantial permanent beings. These so-called real particles are essentially just a consistent ripple in an energy field.”

“The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they are potentialities or possibilities, rather than one of things or facts.” - Werner Heisenberg, one of the pioneers of quantum mechanics.

So not only did everything come from nothing, everything is still essentially nothing; nothing but physical interactions.

Since Nothing is all that’s here, Nothing actually came into existence.
Which, of course, means there need not be a ‘cause’ found. Like the emptiness of what “we” call solid reality, concepts like cause, meaning or purpose are void, merely a hopeful justification for “our” lives - lives we never owned or ran in the first place - made up by the minds of desperate ‘seekers.’
