In buddhist cosmology, there was the notion that the realm of formlessness, infinite in time and space, surrounded all other realms. Within it descending towards our realm, lay the realm of form, then the realm of desire. There are four basic divisions of cyclical time that proceed through the stages. The universe comes to be, the universe exists in state, the universe dissolves, all is nothingness.
Getting anything more specific out of it, however, could be a chore.
Hey, is a zen argument the kind where both people stand there staring at each other, saying nothing, btw?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
