Could Nothingness Be Another Dimension In And Of Itself?

Yes just let yourself go with whatever, not trying to believe this or that, in this thought you will be much more awakened to what is truly happening.

Fine, but I need to comment on this:
It is simply not enough to say: 'You have your view, I have mine.' That just doesn't cut it. You see, this is both an impasse and a threshold at the same time. It is a point on the path which we all must come face to face with and eventually surmount. Essentially, it is to get oneself out of the way, and yes, it is frustrating and difficult, but I believe the rewards are well worth the effort.
I'm just trying to point out to you that there is a view beyond the personal view; beyond one's ideas and concepts about Reality, which sees into the true nature of Reality, and which involves no-thing-ness.

I don't think you actually read the question I posed.

Yes, that has become very apparent in this thread.

In some cases too much snake oil. Unfortunately this particular brand has some unpleasant side effects, like delusions of grandeur and incoherency

Aware of the mind, yes. But what's your point?

Translation please.

Please define "Pure Light Energy". Is it your idea of God?
And how is pure light energy different from light energy?

Taoists call this return to an empty state 'The Uncarved Block', being the image of an uncarved block of wood, prior to the first cut the wood carver makes into the wood. The Uncarved Block, therefore, is a metaphor for 'Original Mind', or 'Pure Consciousness', 'pure' meaning 'clear', and the first and subsequent marks of the carver a metaphor for our social indoctrination, the ideas about ourselves and the world we are conditioned with from birth by our parents, teachers, governments, etc., and which we come to think of as who and what we are. From the POV of Higher Consciousness, this conglomerate of ideas we fuse into the concept we call 'I' is nothing more than fiction, our true natures being that of the pristine Uncarved Block.

I have already provided what the term 'mystical' means many times on this thread. It simply means the merging of observer with the observed, as Deepak Chopra put it:
"the observer, the observed, and the entire process of observation merge into a single Reality"
also sometimes referred to as 'divine union', 'oneness', and 'yoga'.
With all due respect, I do not wish to be one with many things I observe. That incudes the leftovers of the animal on your avatar

I think you've been pretty clear in the way you have explained things. If there are people who don't want to listen because they're strongly attached to their own beliefs, there isn't much you can do about that.

Energy not formed or having any material substance. Pure state. Zero mass.
E= True Zero.
Nothingness: No thing, No form. Void.
Other energy has mass, formation, material substance. (Atoms-protons, neutrons, electrons)
Somethingness: Some thing. Some form. Energy formed.
I'm not going to get into "God" discussions, too many assumptive ideas as to what "God" is.

Neurological plasticity caused by pure, organic energy within the human body.
What was unknown or unaware of becoming more known and aware of.

My point was to show that it is possible to go beyond the mind and physical senses. If a human's mind and thinking ability were completely removed from them, they'd be aware without thinking and with no mind.

Just an opinion on how plasma, liquids, gas, and solids all interact together by changing forms and going back to formless.

It's still just light though, isn't it? Photons. You seem to want to reify it.

Nature doesn't care about your personal preferences. It does what it needs to do to maintain its balance throughout the Universe. You may not relish the notion, but you are, and have been, at all times 100% integrated with the Universe and everything else within it. Please understand that the 'many things you observe' are not objects of observation apart from yourself. You and they are all totally interconnected in the web of life. To put it another way, you are a total activity of the Universe.
Did you ask my avatar if he wishes to be included with your leftovers? eeeewwww!
(if you can read the look on his face, it appears to be a resounding 'woof!')

Sure, there are different states of matter, but here the question is how the elements or properties interact with each other. How does earth interact with water for example?
