What is the word for something emerging from nothing?

Day 15:

Practice dying till it comes as natural as inhaling. Practice that or be lost in this cycle of endless suffering for all lifetimes. Amusement is the degree to which you have tricked yourself into believing anything here holds meaning. You can no more be in New Orleans than America than in some fixed notion of your own name. You can destroy a city or kill yourself, and all of consciousness will continue to self replicate. It’s not that you don’t matter, but it is exactly that there is no “you” that exists to matter. Doubt of that truth is the dream; it’s the fabric of this bardo to deceive us.

the first part of every ceremony is the banishing

the second part is the invoking

rest here, i hear joy is coming....

i know how to see far enough forward into time
to build a path to resistance
when i arrived at the crossroads
it was not what i carried but who i brought with me

that i had not counted on, but all of life will torque
on unexpected, so i need you to hold grief in an open palm facing the sky
not with your hand closed turned towards the ground
clutching the fear, if you relax, you will lose it
there is nothing to lose

i promise.
