Also, what if Void and Consciousness are two sides of the same coin?
What if Void, the lack of anything, needs for there to be something, to be lacking?
Like good is opposite to bad, right to left, void to consciousness?
I do think ego is continuously being created out of nothing.
In every moment.
Although there are gaps in which void experience occurs.
Those gaps are more evident in kids or people that devote their life to it.

yes, i appreciate all the perspectives that others haveā¦and i was describing moments of the past when i was like 9 or 10 years oldā¦
reminds me of this story of a Shaman who was passing thru the city somewhere in South Americaā¦i canāt remember if it was Peru or Brazilā¦but hereās a man who is in a peaceful oneness stateā¦and he got approached gunpointā¦he took off his watch and took the wallet out of his pocketā¦but he quickly developed a rapport with themā¦he saw they were hungry, so he willingly gave them the money in his wallet to get food, but he said āyou can also have my watch, but you probably donāt need my Driver license and business cardsā¦ā they appreciated the fact that he knew they were hungry, so they let him have his wallet backā¦
he was in a state of oneness, but he still got robbedā¦just like me when i was like 10 years old
but i understand what youāre pointing outā¦that was long ago, and i should be more specific in describing what happenedā¦
i can see that i did reach a little state of oneness at that age now that you pointed it out to meā¦itās because often times people would come up to me, āyou want me to take care of them for you?ā.(they were going to beat him up)ā¦and i would always respond the same way whenever i got asked thatā¦i refused because some of the kids were just hungry, i had compassion for themā¦
but the one kid who i kicked in the knee, he was way taller and overweightā¦it was clear he wasnāt hungry at all, just someone abusing his power, but i didnāt hold a grudge against himā¦i actually got friendly with him afterwardsā¦i could have rounded up all the other short kids who got robbed by him and jump him, but i didnāt because of that one moment where i kicked his knee and he let out a painful breathā¦he looked at me not wanting to retaliate, like he deserved itā¦that look he gave me when that happened was like a silent apologyā¦and sometimes an apology is all thatās needed to dispel a disputeā¦
i studied martial arts at that age, but whenever i fought someone, i never used the skillsā¦i toned it down so muchā¦so, thatās another form of compassionate onenessā¦
i realize i have to be more specific in my wordsā¦i guess since i used to rap, i use all types of metaphors and similies sometimes lolā¦
so, instead of the word prey, itās just a moment of transmutation of an unfortunate circumstance that turned into a peacful understandingā¦
the skinny kid who robbed me before was clearly hungry, so i didnāt retaliateā¦
the tall overweight kid, i unfortunately responded violently, but we became friendly after thatā¦
being more clear about this made me also want to be more clear about something elseā¦
when i spoke of angry tears and doing revenge beforeā¦i wasnāt talking about bullies or being shot atā¦thatās regular petty stuff a lot of neighborhoods in the city go throughā¦i hold no grudges for any of thatā¦
i just donāt even like saying or reading the words of itā¦itās a specific type of abuse to kids they call them a āC.M.ā ā¦i donāt want to say the word, but maybe you can guess what it isā¦it didnāt happen to me, just people around me that i had no idea was going onā¦certain untrustworthy people should not be around, and being the loving accepting kind of person might not be able to detect those shady personalitiesā¦
and thatās the anger that blocks me from oneness, not that other stuff i mentionedā¦the other stuff i mentioned has zero stress on meā¦
itās just that when i think about the real blockage of my oneness, others would misperceive it like iām directing that anger towards them, so naturally, they might want to challenge me to a fightā¦
thatās why iām in seclusionā¦i donāt want to hurt anybody that was the result of me thinking about C.Māsā¦
and when i said God took care of him before i could get to him, he died of natural causesā¦i thought that would make me feel better, but it didnāt because there are so many of them and i would meet so many people thatās been thru thatā¦like people who actually lived the lives of the Menendez brothers but never retaliated like they didā¦
i met one healer who was a child slave who was forced to do stuffā¦but she reached a state of balance to become a healerā¦thatās what i was talking about in my desmond tutu post aboveā¦
thatās why iām hereā¦to try to learn how to reach that state of balanceā¦

Source is source. You can no more understand it, or explain it, than a rock can give a lecture about humans.
You either align with it, or youāre distancing yourself from it.
Every moment you stop to wonder about or explain source, is a moment of you being away from source.

Also, what if Void was/is the contemplation/dream of Consciousness?
A pause to recharge?
Lol
Damn, i have good imagination.
Or perhaps, the fear of Existence is Nothingness (itās shadow), void, thus voila, the void appeared lol (I know, conventionally all things appear from the void, but what if Void is the product of Consciousness).

Is it really that hard to conceptually perceive the irony of using language, a tool that presupposes that communication needs to occur among different parts under the constraints of space-time, and that humanity is separated into tribal genetic clans, to understand the source of being?
I mean, compared to this, the ones wrestling with math at least bridge part of the gap (but create another one in turn).
I suppose those smashing particles and exploring the quantum realm (until they go back to trying to fix formulae to everything to stroke their ego), are ahead of the curve.
The Shamans, the Magi, the alchemists, the hermeticists, they are already playing chess while others are playing checkers.
The end result is still the same ā¦ it doesnāt matter what or who actually truly becomes one with source.

Friends, Rocks, Country rocks, lend me your minerals.
Humans are Rocks!
Huge, moving rocks!
(And they are right, we do have minerals)
Mathematics is more than formulas 
Who said otherwise?
I have overgeneralized your words. But personally I find mathematics to be the most universal and conceptual way of thought.
You have heard the phrase we are the dream and the dreamer? I think it explains a lot of things

It is ultimately rooted in observation, math ends where singularity begins.
But thereās nothing wrong with confining oneself to a spherical existence. Systems are predominantly built around spherical and elliptical patterns. So you choose the Demurige. Everyone has the right to choose what they want, including their personal limitations.

Well, thatās where I have to disagree, mathematics studies all things and dimensions unobservable.
3D is a tiny particle of math.
Who mentioned 3D?
Spheres and ellipticals mentioning made me think about it. But in general my words are same without attaching to notions of dimensionality.
By all means, share applications of math that extend beyond dimensionality, patterning and deconstruction.
I will study them with joy.
Well studying something will require a form of such expressions, especially anything physical/with application beyond pure thought. But in general anything that doesnāt involve this process is unlikely to be expessed by brain at all.
