First and foremost, there’s the nothing that gets bandied about on a very regular basis in our everyday world. You know the scenario, you’re post coital, and the chick you’re with asks you the dreaded question, “What are you thinking about?” Obviously you’re thinking one of three things; 1. I wonder what the guys are up to. 2. Who won the game I didn’t get to watch because I was busy doing less important things? Or of course, 3. We have been done for 5 minutes, why the hell is she still here? Now, you know as well as I do that any one of these answers are not good for repeat business, so we brush off the entire situation with the simple one word answer, “Nothing”. And more often than not, they fall for it. But how? It isn’t VIRTUALLY impossible to think about nothing, it is ABSOLUTLEY impossible to think about nothing, and the fact that so many woman (re; most), (ahem; ALL) fall for it, says primarily all we need to know about the illogicalness of our dear fairer sex. There are two circumstances when the human brain can think about nothing at all. When someone concentrates so hard on one thing for so long, and in such great depth that they actually experience “enlightenment”, or when a person is dead. Now, I highly doubt anyone that reads this blog suffers from enlightenment, and I also doubt that anyone that reads this blog is dead, and since it’s a well-known fact that everyone reads this blog, clearly the math says nobody thinks about nothing. But even if we could on the surface think about nothing, which we can’t, that doesn’t matter because the subconscious is currently processing, filing and editing about 1 million thoughts per minute without anyone of us even knowing. Think about your computer, and how many tasks it runs unbeknownst to you while you’re on video-one.com watching Asian transsexual porn, now multiply that by a whole bunch and you’ve got your intuitive mind hard at work prepping you so you (hopefully) don’t sound like a bumbling moron when you finally put down the keyboard and actually face to face with another human being. Assuming of course anyone still does that. Without all that hidden thinking going on, you wouldn’t be able to get out 4 words let alone form a sentence. There’s a ton of shit going on in everyone’s head every second of every life. Thinking about nothing is not only impossible it’s about as stupid as an excuse as a person who would accept that excuse (if you look real deep there’s a fantastic jab hidden in there!).
Let’s look at nothing from a philosophical point of view for a minute. Nothing, or “nothingness” as it is commonly referred to in the genre is actually a vast complex order of importance. We look no further than the Tao for how significant and indispensable nothing truly is. The Tao says everything in this universe not only exists strictly because of the existence of its opposite, but also holds equality with its opposite. In that, you cannot experience light without dark, or you could never understand happy without sad. Not only would one not be available without the other but one couldn’t be understood without its opposition either. And the same goes for nothingness. In order to have nothing, everything must also be present, or else neither would exist. So nothing isn’t only everything’s opposite, it’s the reason we have anything to begin with. Or forget the Tao, because it maybe isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Let’s do an exercise together and see what we can make out of this little thing called nothing. Wherever you are, I want you to place your hands together like you are gripping an egg inside of them. Slowly open up your hands so you can see inside. What do you see? Now the annoying people out there are saying “Air”. Shut up, it’s my lesson not yours, so play along. What you see is nothing right? But let’s think for a second here. Do you see the egg I mentioned earlier in there? No you don’t, but you could right? If you thought about it and envisioned it, that is. So from a certain perspective what’s in your hand is not the egg I told you to cup your hands around as if you were holding. And therefore it could be said that in your hands isn’t nothing, but the absence of something. The absenteeism of the egg. Anything could be in there really but it’s not. Anything that is, that would be of appropriate size and density. Maybe instead of the egg, we could have used a golf ball or even a hamster as our example. A lot of things could fit in there, but aren’t there. So nothing as a result of this exercise could be a whole lot of things now couldn’t it? It could be the absence of almost anything, right? So since there are a lot of things that aren't in your hand right now, that means that there is a lot missing, which isn't nothing at all, or is it? Hmmmmm..... If you need a moment, go take one now, I understand. We will wait.
Ok you’re back, good. Let us talk about the greatest most epic nothing of all time. Space. Space is all that openness that you look up in the sky and see. Truly nothing, right? Wrong. I mean you’re right if you consider a very dense vacuum of hydrogen, helium, electromagnetic radiation, and neutrinos to be nothing. Oh, and then there’s a little thing called matter (regular or dark, doesn’t matter in this context really). Plus thousands of other shit we know about, and maybe millions more we haven’t yet discovered. There is a ton of stuff in all that openness that we just can’t see with our naked eyes. And a lot of stuff we still can’t even see with every inch of technology we have at our avail. But know this, it’s not empty by any stretch of the imagination. In fact there is so much stuff there that nothing, not some things, not most things, NOTHING would exist without it. It created you, it created me, it created the desk I’m sitting at and the toilet you’re most probably currently on. How? I don’t know. Not even I’m smart enough to explain that to you, very few people can, really. And most of the people that can can’t even do it. But at the end of the day the point to all of this is simple. There is no such thing as nothing. From empty thoughts to space and all of the absence of everything in between nothing is everything and anything. Take this entire post for example. We have by definition discussed nothing for the last few moments and covered a whole fucking lot of shit, haven’t we? And if that alone isn’t enough to convince you of how much nothing is, then shut off your computer and go sit down for half an hour and watch an episode of Seinfeld, then tell me nothing is nothing at all. Anyways, I’m out of here, I’m going to go do nothing. Or am I? I’ll see you guys in a few weeks. Hang in there………………………………
