No, not at all. The "experiencer" is still there. That's
not "nothing".
Apparently, people who've had profound "out of body" experiences, or somesuch,
relate that they feel "greater connectedness", or "pure communication",
without the
roadblocks or obstructions that I/we commonly encounter in "everyday life".
I suggest that this is not nothingness.
I'm kinda approaching the idea from a "mathematical" standpoint. Physics tells us
that "matter cannot be destroyed" -- it can be
transformed into another state.
It seems to me that the
essence of a being (such as myself), cannot simply dissolve into "nothingness".
I tend to agree with
psychoslice, that the
nothingness is more
likely
everythingness... absence of nothing.
Does that make sense?
Yet, I feel that the Physical Realm of reality is "true", and not simply an illusion.
