99.6% Empty Space

I read in a book that microbiologists discovered that we are actually 99.6% empty space. So all my focus on material possessions and “looking good” kind of got shifted a bit when I thought about what that means. What I see as real and solid isn’t real in the way I’ve understood real to be. There is something amazing about that fact to me.

So how is it that on a regular basis I can delude myself into believing what is based on a perception of things that isn’t even what I think it is? My mind has been strangely trained to function in society. What a brilliantly designed “place” we live in. There’s a constant processing of information being configured into manifestations based on perceptions.

Maybe that’s what the Zen guys were talking about when they said that nothing (no thing) is real and that pain doesn’t exist. My mind has been very happy to tell me otherwise and my body has been going along with the program my mind runs daily. So with this new piece of information, what can I do that is different here?

Blessings!
