The nature of nothing: If you take away everything that is physical (matter/energy), you’re left with nothing (no thing). Nothing is completely empty space, absolute cold, silence and darkness. “Nothing” is infinite, eternal and indestructible. It does not move. It does not have to; it is already everywhere. The universe is more than 99.9999999% empty space. Even our own bodies are mostly empty space. All physical things are, because atoms are mostly empty space. There is a small amount of energy like light and radio waves passing through the entire universe, but it is essentially an infinite void.
True perspective: The way our solar system is shown in books does not give you a true perspective of it. It shows the sun and the other planets orbiting it in rings that are not to scale. They could not get it in a book if it was to scale. The actual scale is more like this: if the sun was the size of a basketball, the earth would be smaller than a grain of sand, and it would be thousands of feet away from it. Pluto, the outer most planet in our system, would be a grain of sand miles away. The next star outside our solar system would be thousands of miles away. It takes light that travels about one-hundred and eighty-six thousand miles a second about eight minutes to go from the sun to our planet. It will go around the earth seven times in one second, but it takes four years to get to the next star outside our solar system, 2.5 million years to get to the next galaxy. This gives you a more true idea of how much empty space there is in our universe. Most of everything is nothing.
What is faster, the speed of light or the speed of dark? Turn off the light and try to get into bed before it gets dark. I am just kidding, but I am trying to make a point. You cannot turn off “nothing” or do anything to it. It always stays the same, is always everywhere all the time. If God is everywhere, infinite, omnipresent, and eternal as the Bible states and the evidence dictates, God has to be like nothing.
Nothing is really something.
Einstein's general relativity equations show that space bends, and it proves that nothing is really something with substance. Space is shaped, and it is the shape of space that creates the gravity that controls and creates the whole universe. It holds the planets in orbit, makes the sun and other stars burn, bends light, keeps us from falling off the earth, and it is empty space, nothing.

Nothing causes everything to happen.
Value of general relativity: I always wondered what the practical benefit of general relativity was, and now I know. It proves that nothing controls and creates the whole universe, directly and indirectly.
Our spirit is also like nothing. It is the so-called empty space between everything. The majority of everything is nothing, and it connects everything, everywhere. Our essential, immortal self or soul is like the blank sheet that physical life is written on, the darkness that gives light a place to shine, the silence that gives sound a place to be heard, an infinite stadium that the game of life is played in. Nothing is the complete opposite of what people think. It is impossible to get your mind around. All you can do is know it is true and be it.
There are some things that are beyond the mind, literally. You can only know them or in this case be them, when the mind is turned off completely.
The current interpretation of the Bible labels darkness as bad and light as good, because bad guys do bad things in the dark. Light is seen as better than dark, because you can see in the light, be enlightened etc.
“Light shined in the darkness, and the darkness understood it not.”
The saying above from the first book of the Bible, Genesis, is saying that darkness is consciousness, because how could it understand or not understand the light if it was not? People have not noticed this profound revelation before.
You cannot experience nothing: You do not look inside yourself to find yourself as some eastern religions have been saying; there is nothing there. You cannot see or experience nothing; it is impossible. You can be like nothing, but not experience it. There is nothing to experience.
What does the experiencing cannot be experienced.
Spiritual perspective: You do not look in. You do the opposite, and you look out through your senses. When you experience everything, you experience nothing at the same time. You have to be nothing to experience everything. If you are something, there is no room for everything. It is the spiritual perspective. You are looking out from nothing to everything, from nowhere to everywhere, from stillness to movement, from darkness to light.
It is interesting that the word “nowhere” is also “now here.”
The Beatles song “Nowhere Man” has been misinterpreted, and it is talking about the opposite of what most people think. “Nowhere man please listen, you don’t know what your missing.” He don’t know what he is missing, because he is not missing anything. He is a tuned in guy; the world is at his command.
156
The watcher/witness: The perspective of a spiritual being is as if you are sitting in a dark movie theater watching life. If the theater was not dark, you could not see the movie. Your soul, or spirit, is in a dark, silent void that is open to life.
The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light. Matthew 4:16
You have to back into it from your mind. Heaven will kind of suck you in. The way it happens is really weird and unexpected; that’s why so few people find it.
Jesus said, "When the outer has become as the inner and the lower as the upper, then will this world will realize the kingdom of God and be fulfilled.”
The Beatles say the same thing in the song “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide except Me and My Monkey.” “Your inside is out, when your outside is in, so come on, it is such a joy.”
Peter, the founder of the Church, also said the same thing just before he was crucified upside down, which was symbolic of the world being seen upside down. The most popular band and most popular book (Bible) in history say the same thing said in this book. Just a coincidence?
We become the exact opposite of the way people are now.
See, Acts of Peter, XXXVlll
It says it clearly. The Bible says that Peter gave the church the key to heaven. The secret is, we see things upside down and backwards.
Jesus said, "When the outer has become as the inner, and the lower as the upper, then will this world find peace."
People, mankind, are living as their false, mortal mind-self, and they should be living as their immortal spiritual-self, the exact opposite of the way they are now. If you are completely open, life fills the void completely. All life comes to you; it is given to you by God/life. You are just a receiver. You do not create life; all you can do is live it and reflect what you receive. Life moves around and through you. When you are completely open, nothing is completely displaced with everything.
Jesus said, “God is within you and without you.”
Witness: Be a watcher, a witness of everything passing by and through you, and you will discover that actually nothing passes by you. Everything comes to you, right to you. If it does not, it is not your life, so there is no point in thinking about it. Observe, as Sherlock Holmes once said. If you do it right, you will not miss anything that is coming to you (not sin). You will become the present.

Unified field equation: The holy grail of physics, the science that is trying to explain everything mathematically, is something called a unified field equation. It would explain why everything physical does what it does in a mathematical equation. They have not been able to do it, but they have not been considering the field or tried to add it to the equation. The field is what we call nothing (life).
I would give it a new mathematical symbol. A good symbol and model for life in the universe would be an empty circle. The circle represents energy/positive, the space inside the circle world represent nothing/negative.
When the solution is simple, God is answering.
Albert Einstein
2 = 0 says it all: Two being the balancing opposites, one positive one negative; they cancel each other out, equal nothing and everything, represented by the new symbol. That is the unified field equation. It explains everything.
This is the symbol for the unified field equation:
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.
Albert Einstein
You can only understand the universe if you look at it from the perspective of life. It will never really be understood from the mind’s perspective, because the mind cannot perceive “nothing” for what it really is or understand anything infinite, which is the true nature of everything and nothing, the big picture of the universe.
Jesus said, “Therefore I say that if one is unified, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness.”
In other words, we just have to get our minds out of the way and unite our spirit with the spirit of God/life, and the darkness will be filled, we will be fulfilled.
The spirit is more like darkness than light.
People think that the spirit is like light; God is always associated with light. This is because light reveals what was hidden in the dark; it represents life and dark represents death. The good guys wear white, and evil likes the dark. Darkness represents evil, and light represents good. It is a misunderstanding, a deception. The opposite is true; light is more like evil, and dark is more like God or good. This is because the spirit is like darkness. Darkness is nothing, and so is the spirit. Light is something, a form of energy; the spirit has no energy.
I am not saying that light is evil; I am just saying as a metaphor for God, it is missing the mark. God has more in common with darkness or nothing. The mind, like light, is a form of energy, and the mind is the evil in our lives, so light should not be associated with God, except in the context of enlightenment.
Displace the spirit: The mind is a form of energy, and because it is, it will always displace the spirit, just as light will always displace darkness.
158
Mind power: This is why you cannot live completely without the mind when there are any other active minds trying to communicate with you. The mind can always intrude on the spirit, but the spirit can never intrude on the mind. The spirit is a void, and the mind will always fill it, unless it is already completely filled with life.
You could say that the mind is more powerful than the spirit, and you would be right, except that the spirit does not need power to do something. It is already everywhere and the biggest part of everything. The spirit could be seen as the ultimate power; it is simply what is. It is wherever energy is not automatically. The spirit is the only thing in the universe that requires no energy to exist. The mind is aggressive, the spirit is passive. This is why you have to be by yourself or be around other people that know the truth to really be fulfilled.
You will be much more aware than people that do not know the truth, but you will not be able to be completely open, completely fulfilled around active minds. It is a drag, but the way it is and will be until everyone knows the truth. This is why you have to learn to experience true life alone at first. You just have to start getting away from the mind as much as you can, whenever you can. Eventually, you receive the input of other minds, just as you take in all other energy, and it is not so bad, but it is not as good as the energy you get directly from life.
Krishnamurti says about meditation: Meditation is not a search, it's not a seeking, a probing, an exploration. It is an explosion and discovery. It's not the taming of the brain to conform, nor is it a self-introspective analysis; it is certainly not the training in concentration which includes, chooses and denies. It's something that comes naturally, when all positive and negative assertions and accomplishments have been understood and drop away easily. It is the total emptiness of the brain. It's the emptiness that is essential, not what's in the emptiness, there is seeing only from emptiness, all virtue, not social morality and respectability, springs from it. It's out of this emptiness love comes, otherwise it's not love. Foundation of righteousness is in this emptiness. It's the end and beginning of all things.
The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them. Albert Einstein
The new mind: After you know the ultimate truth, you use the mind less and less. We will still be interested in understanding the infinite details of life, and we will want to continue developing technology to make life easier, safer and longer etc. A new and improved mind will be with you forever. It will start over with every death and birth, but grow in the collective unconscious forever. The big difference is that it will be your servant, not your master. Your mind will become your trusted friend. It is a valued and necessary part of a divine life form. You will not like it as much as life, but you will use it from time to time whenever it is needed, or for work or research. You will think a lot less, but know a lot more. Your new divine mind will be more intelligent and sharper than it was in the past. In heaven, you will use your mind only about ten percent of the time, but when you use it, you will use a hundred percent of it. People are doing the opposite now.
The Bible describes this using good and bad angels. Angels that serve God, and fallen angels that are the adversary of God. Michael is a good angel, and Satan represents the bad angel. They represent your own mind and the mind of the world, which is now controlled by Satan, but is going to be changed by Michael.
