This is a tough one for people and the mind to grasp or accept: nothing ever happens. But it can be explained to a degree. We must start by recognising that the nature of Being, the nature of Reality, is an Infinite Singularity.

The world that is perceived as moving and changing appears within the Infinite Singularity, and it seems as if the Singularity has exploded into different perceivable forms. I call it The World of Motion, because everything is moving, relatively speaking. Even things that appear to be still (like houses, mountains, tables and chairs etc.) are moving, as the universe swirls in its expansion and contraction. You see, it's also a World of Opposites interacting. Or so it seems.

Consider an Infinite Singularity. There is no inside or outside of it. There is nothing other than it. There is no distance or division in it. There are no dimensions to it. It cannot go somewhere else. It cannot move at all. Movement doesn't exist in it. It cannot change. Change doesn't exist in it. It is formless and invisible. It is pure clarity and unblemished perfection, although there is no-one to see it and call it this. In fact it really has no qualities. The descriptive words I've used here are plucked from a world of duality and opposites, where comparisons can be made. But an Infinite Singularity has no comparisons, as there is nothing other than it.

This Infinite Singularity is the unseen reality of the illusory world. The world appears as if the Singularity has been split in two and multiplied exponentially to form a multiplicity. Points of perception arise within this multiplicity, human beings, where we can look at the world as if it is the Singularity in separation. The Singularity is able to perceive itself in terms of duality, and concepts of opposites. It is from this standpoint that a human being can say, "Reality is a Singularity, and separation is illusory."

So the World of Opposites / Motion appears, and it seems that things happen, things are done, activity goes on between the opposite poles of beginning and end. But this is illusory. The Singularity is not broken in two. A multiplicity is not formed. There is never a separation in the Singularity, only an appearance of separation and illusion. The Singularity remains as it is. All the motion in the universe goes nowhere. It all seems to happen right here in the Singularity. Time seems to span out between the beginning and the end of the universe, but it is all right now in the Singularity.

The Singularity does not have space and time. It is Here and Now. There is no real movement or change. Nothing ever happens. There is a Law of Opposites that applies in the world that seems to appear, because even in the illusory appearance the Singularity must be maintained. That is, whatever is done in space and time must be undone. Space may appear to stretch out, but it must also stretch back in. The world may appear from a singularity, but it must return to a singularity. Whatever happens must unhappen. Its opposite must counter it to restore the balance of the singularity.

The Singularity is never out of balance, of course, and nothing is ever done. Yet the world appears as if something is happening, so it necessarily must unhappen. This happening and unhappening is commensurate with space and time. So space and time is the appearance of the unfurling and refurling of the Singularity.

If this is difficult to grasp at first, recognise that in a dream nothing ever happens. Dream images may appear and disappear. Distances may be travelled but you never go anywhere. It is similar with the universe but with a more formal structure. What happens within the unfurling and refurling of the universe has infinite possibilities, but it must all be counterbalanced by the nature of opposites.
