Greetings, master Roamer.

The opposite of nothing? What thoughts and feelings might become of you if there was a suggestion, a hint of sorts, of the nonexistence of an opposite for the concept of nothing?

There are two possibilities as I see it: either life has meaning or we will simply fall back one day into a blob of "nothingness" where everything that we do here, struggle for, etc, would amount to nothing.
But perhaps that isn't actually how it is?

O, dear...

The opposite of "something" is that something's opposite.

The opposite of all is void.

The opposite of nothing is nothing because there is no such thing.

Specific examples! C'mon, thirteen...you're asking for way too much. Everything that you do, do it with fulness. Therein will you call the Spirit.

To be able to observe a void from the angle of existence, in itself makes the void into 'something'.....that which we are able to observe.

For what is 'something' and 'nothing' anyway, if not a creation of our own consciousness.....consciousness being something, consciousness being all.

sounds like you were praying, though it is not the asking of the question that made the answers appear. the effort you laid in your thinking, your mental "mastication" of the question is what produced your answers. don't attach too much to outcomes, yes. neither shall you be detached from them. trust the universes, namely that one which is without you and that one which is within. trust that you can and will act out your role as best as you can, and sometimes even better.

LTT,

you are right. 'void' is something. it is emptiness. that can be observed. 'nothing' is much deeper than 'void'. it is not emptiness. it is nOthing.

concepts like 'something' and 'nothing' are not creations of our own consciousnesses. these concepts have been extracted and discovered by our thinking, but not created by it. our consciousness is not 'all'. it is more an alveolus of the great honeycomb of what is possibly GOD, but trust in infinity when it is said that GOD is much greater than that which you can possibly not imagine.

All things come from nOthing, but this nOthing is not 'empty space'. the nOthing is not the GOD energy. nOthing is only a key to the door of the Father's mansion.
