Greetings from Nothing

[Nothing]

Hello Everyone! I am not actually nothing, however, to become nothing is my one and only heart's desire. I have in fact been many things and have journeyed to the dillusional heights of grandeur as well as plummeted to the darkest depths of despair where I sometimes prayed for death. Many would say there is much in between, and they would be correct, but those things too have left me unsatisfied.
And so nothing appeals to me and I make it my goal.
What is nothing? I am not certain, but it seems to me that nothing is, what everything is not. Or perhaps it is foolish to attempt to define, what is by definition, undefinable. That make any sense?
I do have a plan though, at least to get started and that is to free myself from things that are not nothing. Such as: Fear, judgement, title, opinion, religion, past and future, and gender identification (which is simply done in here at least by not identifying which I am).
To simplify, I long to become incapable of defining myself in any way.
I believe that by becoming nothing I will find the peace that has deluded me all my life. But can peace really be found in nothing?
That is the question.
I happily await all responses

Hello. I have no response because quite frankly, I don't know what are talking about.

 

[Nothing]

Thank you Dena for your honest reply. I apologize if you did not understand my posting, but I thought I made it quite obvious I am talking about nothing!
Get it?

Nothing can be defined as a lack of substance. Which does not seem contradict to what you claim to desire. As long as you have a gender, people will identify you by it and make assumptions. This gives you substance, which seems to me to be counterproductive to your beliefs.

We should start a thread about this. It is an interesting topic.

Welcome! For all the somethings we talk about, nothing can be refreshing!

Hello
You question comes from deep inside. From years if not lives of searching.

And so nothing appeals to me and I make it my goal.
What is nothing? I am not certain, but it seems to me that nothing is, what everything is not. Or perhaps it is foolish to attempt to define, what is by definition, undefinable. That make any sense?

Yes, it makes sense. Nothing is an idea, it exists as an idea to allow the mind to understand the experience of there not being something. Sounds like a riddle, this riddle is answerable when you understand both parts of the same coin. Nothing and Everything are the two sides of the same coin. You are both and beyond.

I do have a plan though, at least to get started and that is to free myself from things that are not nothing. Such as: Fear, judgement, title, opinion, religion, past and future, and gender identification (which is simply done in here at least by not identifying which I am).

You are already free. No need for plans, no benefit in fears.

To simplify, I long to become incapable of defining myself in any way.
I believe that by becoming nothing I will find the peace that has deluded me all my life. But can peace really be found in nothing?
That is the question.

Yes, peace can be found. It requires no searching. In the nothingness you describe exists everything. Let that everything exist as it is, watch it, observe it, go with it. In your nothingness there are no barriers, no limits. Live it. Know it, Be it. Your nature is bliss, peace, unconditional love.

Welcome to RF!

Thank you all for your responses. I am glad you find nothing refreshing Nowhere Man, for on this plane of material impermanence, it seems there is always something...
I recall the favorite line of Napoleon, "Nothing is impossible" I'm sure he meant that you can do anything you put your mind to, and I believe this is true, but when nothing is one's goal, his words are rather disheartening.
Anyways, I do of coarse have a gender Morse and as long as I remain on this level of existence I will. If you were to see me you would know which I am. I choose to be androgenous in this forum becase on this informational level of existence, I can. If my words are in any way gender specific they will betray me. Only in thought can I remain neutral.
Onkarah, your reply is very inspiring and very "Now" and I'm sure you know what I mean. I see you are a good student, and by default, a good teacher. There is Truth in what you say (or don't say) and you know it comes through you and not from you.

Again, thank you all.

I was using gender as a hypothetical example. Not saying that you can eliminate it, "gender" could have been replaced by anything.

Well, In my opinion, If u seek nothing, you are emo.
I am sure you will find the right something on these forums if a sensible enough debate between religion takes place.

And i am happy to start it .

 

[Nothing]

Thank you all for your responses! I am glad I joined this forum and am excited about learning more of so many beliefs. I do truly aspire to be nothing and I believe the nothingness I seek is within the beliefs of everyone who would share them. This is not an insult, but a compliment to you all that expresses my gratitude.

Again, thank you all!!

Hello, welcome to RF!

They is a lot of information here, so hopefully RF can help you toward your goal.

I have but one question: If you desire nothing, shouldn't you desire not to desire as well? Wouldn't bein nothing entail not-desiring?

 

[Nothing]

Greetings Metalic Wings!

You are absolutely correct! Becoming desireless is the ultimate goal of nothingness so let me put it to you this way: When I was young, I desired to know how to ride a bike. Once I knew how I no longer desired to know. I just did! Get it?
