One cannot 'obtain' nothingness, Trixie. However one can [b']attain'[/b] the 'state of no thingness'.

True nothingness cannot be remembered, if it could, it would not be nothingness, but "somethingness."

That which we remember is tangible, a 'thing-ness' if you will. Whereas when we attain the state of "No Thing-ness' that also includes the Sacredness of Silence from which all becomes their own 'thing-ness'. No Thing is the Beginning and End, the Alpha and Omega, from which Existence began and Existence shall return. When you say true nothingness cannot be remembered is Mind speaking for Mind, insistent upon questions and answers to give itself purpose of Being. Mind is Some Thing. Beyond Mind is Consciousness wherein our given Consciousness is a reflection of Pure Consciousness. This is not an obtainable state, of which necessitates the presence of Mind, but rather Pure Consciousness being the transcendental presence which encompasses Mind as Silence doth embrace all Sound... a state of Enlightenment of All and No Thing.

Indeed, the language of such is one that must be as well-stated so to be understood. Our language, English, really does not have a developed language when communicating about this, so it is with gratitude I thank you for your understanding of what I have written here, thedoc.

Should the seeker "go within" they may find that "God" is "No Thing", a pure transcendental presence within all life which is "Pure Consciousness"... all-knowing beyond time and space, beyond matter, beyond belief, logic and intellect. Nobody can offer you or anyone else, "proof" of "No Thing" as that is a foolish expectation. Until you attain "nothingness" you will forever doubt the existence of "No Thing," pure transcendental presence beyond mundane existence, within all life, sustaining all Life.

"But" (a word you seem to rely on to express what you feel), you don't seem to have a firm grasp of metaphysics, fish. "But" I do look forward to your own understanding of what you believe your "god" to be.

Please, fire away!

You should have asked what i KNOW about God, and followed it up with what do i BELIEVE about God, if you were actually interested.

I KNOW there are as many opinions of a god as there are thinkers.

"fish", I repeat, "I do look forward to your own understanding of what you believe your "god" to be.

Really? I expected a wee bit more than this out of the "greatandwise".

It's clear you do not have the ability to converse with any degree of intelligence, Trixie, which begs the question "why you wasting time with these forums?"

My idea of heaven wasn't going on internet forums word policing peeps like an anal retentive who's got lame insults poopin out his ass. My idea of heaven did involve some kind'a ass tho. "If the hand says ow, the body says ow." Dunno if ull get the anal-o-gy, might be too complex for 'ya.

Once again you grasp for insults rather than engage in civil discourse to justify your inability to communicate in a meaningful way. It's become a routine that I find boring and uninteresting. It's obvious we will never find a middle ground.

This being a thread you began should end with you.
