   there never was a beginning of space and time,

   therefore, it will never end, either.

   states of matter and mind come and go.

   scientifically terrifying

   because it is unknowable:

   the origin of everything.

     is the void in the past? is it in the future? yes. i came from it and i shall return to it, having seen all i can see but none the wiser.

     can revealing be done efficiently? all it takes is to meet the uncomfortable. this challenge can never be efficient, hence the struggle.

     for images of the void, close your eyes or imagine a fully connected graph as its number of vertices increases. think of the void star. the rim of a mandelbrot. there are eight billion images of the void.

     i get it now, mysticism. the void is not empty - merely unyielding. you keep the void in mind. much can be revealed, but some will never. so you pick the eternally unrevealable, make it your symbol. your contemplative focus point. something to struggle against, as not to struggle would be to resign to ignorance: resting in what little light you found. a mysticist must reveal. only through revealing they will struggle against the void, first to all that is, second to none.
