What is Nothing?

So you get to finger paint and create what you want, if you penetrate your own *black hole* ......

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...
