Is it true that nothing is Nothing?

Or is Nothing something? Is it just that which isn't, or isn't it?

I think it is.

But maybe Not.

 

nothing is the absence of something.

 

Agreed. But that just refers to nothing as a concept. I mean Nothing, as in that which is in opposition to the ALL.

Does the Void/Nothing/the Unmanifest actually exist? I tend to believe that the All and the Nothing are one in the same...I just wanted to see other's thoughts.

 

hmm what do you mean by nothing? The space between things?

hmmm, this used to be pretty cool, but on the latest version of firefox, it doesn't seem to work properly anymore.. works on IE tho.

Anyway, it's a scale model of a hydrogen atom, where a single electron is exactly 1 pixel on the computer screen and there are 11 miles of nothing between the electron and the proton... We're full of nothing!!

 

Nothing is vacentness?,maybe nothing is just something to describe something so nothing is something?....Idk,All i know is that today was amazing. lol

If anything id say hawaiiankine has the right idea going on.

 

i believe he is referring to this sort of nothing:

It's something 'cause it's just a word. Meaning...absence of some thing in particular...not necessarily absence of anything at all. Like, "There's nothing there." Yeah, there's something there, just not whatever it is you're supposed to be seeing.

 

Imagine a clear ocean that went on forever with no end. It would be pefectly clear, with no background, just completely clear.

 

nothing is nothing but to be nothing it has to be something

 

Mr. Writer wins, or I guess I should say Alan Watts wins. You cannot have something without nothing, but then that beckons the question, is nothing really nothing? It has to be something or else what would seperate it from what we think is something. Nothing is something, we just don't know how to define or quantitate it quite yet.

 

Incorrect. There is only one nothing. Everything else that is not nothing is everything.

 

Anytime you say "nothing is"...you're talking about something, as isness implies.

 

I know exactly what i'm talking about and i'm not talking about anything.

 

nothing is a word

 

Everything is a word also, and everything has a word to represent itself, even nothing has its own word.

 

"IT" just "IS"


Rael cannot look away from those eyes, mesmerized by his own image. In a quick movement, his consciousness darts from one face to the other, then back again, until his presence is no longer solidly contained in one or the other. In this fluid state he observes both bodies outlined in yellow and the surrounding scenery melting into a purple haze. With a sudden rush of energy up both spinal columns, their bodies, as well, finally dissolve into the haze.

All this takes place without a single sunset, without a single bell ringing and without a single blossom falling from the sky. Yet it fills everything with its mysterious intoxicating presence. It's over to you.


When its cold, it come slow
it is warm, just watch it grow
- all around me
it is here. it is now.

Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down.
Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown.
it is chicken, it is eggs,
it is in between your legs.
it is walking on the moon,
leaving your cocoon.

it is the jigsaw. it is purple haze.
it never stays in one place, but it's not a passing phase,
it is in the singles bar, in the distance of the face
it is in between the cages, it is always in a space
it is here. it is now.

Any rock can be made to roll
If you've enough of it to pay the toll
it has no home in words or goal
Not even in your favourite hole
it is the hope for the dope
Who rides the horse without a hoof
it is shaken not stirred;
Cocktails on the roof.

When you eat right through it you see everything alive
it is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive
If you think that its pretentious, you've been taken for a ride.
Look across the mirror sonny, before you choose decide
it is here. it is now
it is Real. it is Rael

'cos it's only knock and knowall, but I like it...

 

or is not.

 

This is pretty much what I mean. It's paradox in its largest context, because there's no larger situation in which the paradox lies.

 

Nothing is everything and everything is nothing..

 

Remember that time that infinite void of potential energy had a dream, and we thought we were all a bunch of people, dying and crying and working and stuff? Then we all just woke up. Those were some good times.
