Once inside that darkness creation begins as co-existence with God. One sees dimension, light, color, gravity exists as we pull particles together and into orbit by observation, complexity reigns as the number of observed particles skyrockets.

If you slow down the observation of your finger painting and become fully present with ones touch upon the whole experience, it almost appears in this way you describe if you can experience it this way of course..:)

Who one is becomes identified with the particles, a time stream comes into existence, and life forms and other solid appearing particles become part of the play.

So become it all yourself and create to your hearts content?

At some point one experiences unpleasant wavelength and wants freedom, which requires understanding, and the search back begins.

Maybe this is when you finger paint and you are not happy with your creation, so you find another clean piece of paper, only to discover when you touch it again with the movement of your creative touch creates waves of colours and patterns that just don't feel right or look right to you..so you keep on painting, until that masterpiece feels just right... In time hopefully you haven't wasted too much paper. Environmental awareness is always a wonderful way to stay grounded into the nature of our world and its needs that need our continued support...

A cup is not a cup w/o the space it encompasses. There is no cup w/o the space/"nothing" inside (comparitively speaking-oxygen aside). Therefore nothing allows something. There are no planets w/o the space between them. The universe exists because of the meditative state of universal awareness, which is devoid of thought, empty.

Meditation was pure delight, without a flutter of thought, with its endless subtleties; it was a movement that had no end and every movement of the brain was still, watching from emptiness. It was an emptiness that had known no knowing; it was emptiness that had known no space; it was empty of time. It was empty, past all seeing, knowing and being. In this emptiness there was fury; the fury of a storm, the fury of exploding universe, the fury of creation which could never have any expression. It was the fury of all life, death and love. But yet it was empty, a vast, boundless emptiness which nothing could ever fill, transform or cover up. Meditation was the ecstasy of this emptiness.

Hmm..nothing is everything and everything is everything therefor everything is nothing and everything all the same..that sounds real confusing, no wonder I didn't enjoy taking philosophy

Empty space is not empty, it has air and molecules and stuff. Space is not empty, there are wormholes, asteroids, etc. Dark matter is not nothing, it's a huge mass of energy. Parts of space that have "nothing", no atoms, small particles, still have gravity, and radiowaves, and photons running through them.

Another random thought...

The first thing my original guru taught me was the significance of Semantics so, in my current opinion, the word "nothing" could also mean: the Void, everything, Consciousness, Infinite Energy, Awareness, Pure Awareness, Being, Mind, 'I', This, That, the DOA, It, Infinity, Divine, Divinity, Supreme, Absolute, You, Me, the All, Life, Experience, Wholeness, Oneness, Unity, God, Self, Cosmic Mind, Reality, One, Silence, Stillness, Presence, Not Two and a huge array of other words and phrases in a vain attempt to label or describe the Infinite - which is apparently beyond the limited mind's ability to name or even comprehend.
So call it what you will or call it nothing but it's your own inner and direct knowing/realization of who/what you REALLY are. You are that! There is nothing here but YOU - so enjoy it!

Book1 Triangulated Set aka Cosmic Trinity

Lets begin by making some rather simple common sense assumptions.

Thing = occupied space, ex auto, hand, house and many that we may only detect indirectly with instrument instead of directly with human senses ex air molecules, atoms etc......

No thing = non-occupied space, and here I mean the true non-occupied space that exists outside of our finite, occupied space Universe.

There exists a trinity at the top of my cosmic hierarchy.

1) metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concept i.e. concepts of Space, God, Universe, Concepts etc......aka spirit-1 aka spirit-of-intent,

----------------------line-of-demarcation---------------------------------

2) macro-infinite, non-occupied space, that, exists beyond--- outside of ---our finite occupied space Universe,

3) finite, occupied space Universe aka UniVerse i.e. fermions, bosons aka spirit-2 and

....3a) gravity aka spirit-3

.....3b) dark energy aka spirit-4, and any collection thereof ex most complex biological woman and less complex man.

Originally there is nothing. If you make something, you have something. If you don’t make anything, then already, you are complete.
