That, too, of course. But I believe that the Nothing that icutoffheads is referring to actually is the Nothing that CAN be perceived. It is "Nothing", but it's also Everything, simultaneously. It's a very difficult thing to describe in ordinary language. In any language, actually.

There is a specific experience of the Nothing-that-is-Everything. I've had it. I presume that icutoffheads has also had it, given the content of the message.
