Nobody could see the explosion, only the echoes of its occurrence. Scientists affirm that there was this Bang based on the measured radiation in the background indicating an explosion, together with the sign that all elements observed in the universe are moving away. What scientist can see are only the echoes of the Big Bang, only its trace.<\/p>\n<p>In a Buddhist book, I read that: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nothing can be said to exist which is not registered on the screen of mind. Does a falling tree in the center of an uninhabited forest make a noise? The Buddha warned his followers against making any assumptions which were not functions of immediate experience, for preconceptions of an, kind are hindrances to the path.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the scientists, influenced by the logos of the order, did not bring real knowledge to the front, because of the disconnection from the object and the act of observation. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s look at the notion of zero point.<\/p>\n<p>The zero is there in each act of observation. At zero point, Being takes occupancy, in a merging in intimacy of Space and Time. This intimacy is said to occur \u00e2\u20ac\u0153keenly\u00e2\u20ac\u009d thought the interaction of the content of what is observed, the being of the observer, and the act of observation, unlocking their inherent dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>Free of comments, conventional mind can fall silent allowing times rhythms to move in slow waves of intimacy, too subtle for the patterns of the temporal order to acknowledge. In the intimacy of the instant, Space and Time open to Being.<\/p>\n<p>As the power of time becomes rhythmic, creating \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfriction\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, the silent is lost. We accept the comments of conventional mind, which reflect the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmeasured-out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 rhythms of lower-level time. It is said that <em>zero is the gateway to zero<\/em>.
