A little description: The Chasm


In this post I will try to explain one of the things that I mentioned last time. Before writing this I re-read my last post and I realised that modern humans might have some difficulty in understanding the Chasm at the level that I was explaining. I apologise if I wasn’t clear, I will try to make some more modern comparisons from now on. I will start by trying to describe the Chasm in more detail because I don’t believe you can fully comprehend it from my previous description.
The Chasm is one of the hardest things I will try to describe to you because it is so unique that you probably have nothing to compare it to. It is difficult to describe something to someone who has never experienced anything like it. It’s like trying to describe a colour to a person who was born blind. If you think about chasms that are around today, it might give you some idea about what it was like.



A big space that looks empty, but you know (on some level) that it isn’t. This isn’t the best description because all the chasms you can compare it too are surrounded by something (like walls or cliffs). There is an end to the nothing, you know that the big empty space isn’t everything... except it was. That was all there was so we didn’t think about it or need to describe it. Like the air you breathe – it’s there, but you never think about it.
Earth.
