Nothing is only nothing to the mind, beyond the mind, well you will have to find out for yourself, but no using the mind lol.

Of course this also would apply to unicorns, zombies and dragons.
You must have been quite a challenge to your grammar school teachers.

The mind can never contemplate nothingness or oblivion. Maybe that's why many are convinced that they live on after life because they cannot imagine there is such a thing as nothing.

I agree and to elaborate - For the mind to contemplate a short time of life on to nothingness, seems a bit anti-climatic and purposeless. |

Depends, it can also add great value everything you experience in your "short time of life", to despair over something inevitable would be a waste of time after all. |

Nothing: No thought, no feeling, a complete shut-down.

merrie: if you shut-down a computer it will still be there. If the screen goes blank it will still be there. Even if I would meditate to erase all thoughts and cut my nerves to eliminate feeling I would still exist.
