Section 7 – The Truth Will Set You Free – Chapter 7.1
The nature of nothing: If you take away everything that is physical (matter/energy), you’re left with nothing (no thing). Nothing is completely empty space, absolute cold, silence and darkness. “Nothing” is infinite, eternal and indestructible. It does not move. It does not have to; it is already everywhere. The universe is more than 99.999% empty space, including our own bodies. All physical things are made of atoms which are mostly empty space. If the nucleus was the size of a marble, the electrons would be specks of dust a half mile away. Every physical thing has that much empty space in it.
If you removed all the empty space from human bodies leaving only electrons and the other subatomic particles, all seven billion human bodies would fit in the space of a sugar cube.
True perspective: The way our solar system is shown in books does not give you a true perspective of it. It shows the sun and the other planets orbiting it in rings that are not to scale. They could not get it in a book if it was to scale. The actual scale is more like this; if the sun was the size of a basketball, the earth would be about the size of a grain of sand, and it would be 87 feet away from the sun. Pluto, the outer most planet in our system, would be a grain of sand over a half mile away. The next star outside our solar system would be thousands of miles away. It takes light that travels about one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles a second about 8 and a half minutes to go from the sun to our planet. It will go around the earth seven times in one second, but it takes four years to get to the next star outside our solar system, and 2.5 million years to get to the next galaxy.
What is faster, the speed of light or the speed of dark? Turn off the light and try to get into bed before it gets dark. I am just kidding, but I am trying to make a point. You cannot turn off “nothing” or do anything to it. It always stays the same, is always everywhere all the time. If God is everywhere, infinite, omnipresent, and eternal as the Bible states and the evidence dictates, God has to be like nothing.
Nothing is really something.

Einstein's general relativity equations show that space bends, and it proves that nothing is really something with substance. Space is shaped, and it is the shape of space that creates the gravity that controls and creates the whole universe. It holds the planets in orbit, makes the sun and other stars burn, bends light, keeps us from falling off the earth, and it is empty space, nothing.
Nothing causes everything to happen. It creates gravity, gravity creates planets and stars, stars concentrate and release all energy and matter. Thus everything physical comes from and is created by nothing. 0 = 2.
Value of general relativity: I always wondered what the practical benefit of general relativity was, and now I know. It proves that nothing controls and creates the whole universe, directly and indirectly.
Our spirit is also like nothing. It is the so-called empty space between everything. The majority of everything is nothing, and it connects everything, everywhere. Our essential, immortal self or soul is like the blank sheet that physical life is written on, the darkness that gives light a place to shine, the silence that gives sound a place to be heard, an infinite stadium that the game of life is played in. Nothing is the complete opposite of what people think. It is impossible to get your mind around. All you can do is know it is true and be it. There are some things that are beyond the mind, literally. You can only know them or in this case be them, when the mind is turned off completely.
The current interpretation of the Bible labels darkness as bad and light as good, because bad guys do bad things in the dark. Light is seen as better than dark, because you can see in the light, be enlightened, etc.
“Light shined in the darkness, and the darkness understood it not.”
The saying above from the first book of the Bible, Genesis, is saying that darkness is consciousness, because how could it understand or not understand the light if it was not? People have not noticed this profound revelation before.
You cannot experience nothing: You do not look inside yourself to find yourself as some eastern religions have been saying; there is nothing there. You cannot see or experience nothing; it is impossible. You can be like nothing, but not experience it. There is nothing to experience.
What does the experiencing cannot be experienced.

Spiritual perspective: You do not look in. You do the opposite, and you look out through your senses. When you experience everything, you experience nothing at the same time. You have to be nothing to experience everything. If you are something, there is no room for everything. It is the spiritual perspective. You are looking out from nothing to everything, from nowhere to everywhere, from stillness to movement, from darkness to light. It is interesting that the word “nowhere” is also “now here.” The watcher/witness: The perspective of a spiritual being is as if you are sitting in a dark movie theater watching life. If the theater was not dark, you could not see the movie. Your soul, or spirit, is in a dark, silent void that is open to life. The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light. Matthew 4:16 You have to back into it from your mind. Heaven will kind of suck you in. The way it happens is really weird and unexpected; that is why so few people find it. Jesus said, "When the outer has become as the inner and the lower as the upper, then will this world realize the kingdom of God and be fulfilled.” The Beatles say the same thing in the song “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.” “Your inside is out, when your outside is in, so come on, it is such a joy.” Peter, the founder of the Church, also said the same thing just before he was crucified upside down, which was symbolic of the world being seen upside down. The most popular band and most popular book (Bible) in history say the same thing said in this book. Just a coincidence? We become the exact opposite of the way people are now. See, Acts of Peter, XXXVlll It says it clearly. The Bible says that Peter gave the church the key to heaven. The secret is, we see things upside down and backwards. Jesus said, "When the outer has become as the inner, and the lower as the upper, then will this world find peace."

People, mankind, are living as their false, mortal mind-self, and they should be living as their immortal spiritual-self, the exact opposite of the way they are now. If you are completely open, life fills the void completely. All life comes to you; it is given to you by God/life. You are just a receiver. You do not create life; all you can do is live it and reflect what you receive. Life moves around and through you. When you are completely open, nothing is completely displaced with everything. Jesus said, “God is within you and all around you.”
Witness: Be a watcher, a witness of everything passing by and through you, and you will discover that actually nothing passes by you. Everything comes to you, right to you. If it does not, it is not your life, so there is no point in thinking about it. Observe, as Sherlock Holmes once said. If you do it right, you will not miss anything that is coming to you (not sin). You will become the present.
Unified field equation: The holy grail of physics, the science that is trying to explain everything mathematically, is something called a unified field equation. It would explain why everything physical does what it does in a mathematical equation. They have not been able to do it, but they have not been considering the field or tried to add it to the equation. The field is what we call nothing (life). I would give it a new mathematical symbol. A good symbol and model for life in the universe would be an empty circle. The circle represents energy/positive, the space inside the circle world represent nothing/negative. When the solution is simple, God is answering. Albert Einstein
2 = 0 says it all: Two being the balancing opposites, 1 positive 1 negative; they cancel each other out, equal nothing and everything, represented by the new symbol. That is the unified field equation. It explains everything. This is the symbol for the unified field equation:
