Eureka! All There Is Is Is.

 

Eureka means “I have found it.” Yet, there is nothing to be found as all there is is being and becoming; the Everything that is eternal and everchanging.

 

Acronym: EATIII (pronounced as “80”)

“8” is the symbol of infinity (∞) drawn vertically, reflecting the human form. Graphically, an endless knot constantly twisting and turning in different directions.

“8” is consciousness; infinite in time and everchanging as it is manifesting in the now.

“0” is a hole with two separate sides, inside and outside. However, their separateness is an illusion as they are interdependent; one cannot exist without the other. Together they are a whole, not a hole.

“0” is our experience of the now: an illusion of separate things that are actually one thing.

Both “8”and “0” are continuous, a flow with no beginning and no end.

Eureka! All there is is the flow of eternal consciousness; everchanging as it creates the now.
