Nothingness and Emptiness

Compare an image projected onto a screen three feet away and a screen thirty feet away. Which image will be larger? Of course, the image on a screen thirty feet away would be far larger. Assuming that the projector is powerful enough, then the image on a screen 300 feet away would be even larger. However, no matter how large the image gets, the information contained by this image is the same throughout, zero. Zero, because the image is just a reflection or the expression of the information that lies behind its reality. The image is not the information itself.

A three-foot projection of Mt. Everest and a life-sized projection of Mt. Everest are different in terms of size, but not in terms of information. Information itself is not bound by the space and time within which the projected image exists. This is the realm of information, which, although it exists, does not occupy time nor space.

You could look into every tiny corner of this large projected image, but you would not find the information reality behind it. No matter how far you travel, or how deep you delve, you are still within the confines of the projected image. You cannot capture that “something” behind the image.

Prof Ilchi Lee says that this reminds me of Mandelbrot’s images. A brilliant mathematician, Benoit Mandelbrot is the father of fractal geometry, and his equation is often used in chaos theory. The special characteristic of Mandelbrot’s design is that, on the surface, it looks extremely intricate and complicated. However, these constantly varying and intricate images are created by a simple set of equations. Any section of the image, when magnified, is identical to the image as a whole. This happens no matter how much you increase the magnification.
