We all emerge from a darkness before life, without memory, without self. Which one among us can name that place that we come from? It seems very likely that this same condition is that which will pertain when death claims us. But what is that mysterious dark? Perhaps a realm of pure potential, not yet realized, not yet conscious, not yet made.
But then, what happens to our thoughts, our feelings, our perceptions, once we have them? They also recede into a grounded dark. In all probability the very same one from which we ourselves emerged. And yet...we can call these things back...memories, thoughts, perceptions, from whatever ground of possibility they sink into. Is it so far fetched that being and potential may not also "call us back" again out of the void, albeit perhaps with no memory of what went before? What are these things, these our (thoughts, feelings, perceptions) when we are not thinking, feeling, perceiving them? What are they before they are called back? We call them memories, but this is just a label.
Did some potential not exist for a world then no world would ever have come into being.
