As an artist who has studied 'nothing' extensively in his work, I have found Close's book to be riveting. It is a pleasure to share similar passions about such a mind-boggling issue.
Projecting outwards, even the thought of "nothing" is a finite something. But how are we aware that nothing is something to contemplate?Awareness aware of awareness, is nothing. You are awareness.
Give a little whistle. Always look on the bright side of life. We came from nothing we are going back to nothing. What is there to worry about?nothing.Life a pile ashit when you look at it!
And after we die we then break down into nutrients that are recycled through the natural system.
Gives a lot of weight to reincarnation....if you consider that our "soul" is caused by the collection of our particles working together....some which would have come from other souls broken down by nature.
loved the line - "I wrote a book about nothing, I hope you find something in it"
where was i before i was born? i was the beef inside of a cow and i was the nutirents ready to be absorbed by a vegetable. My atoms were spread across the landscape. The deeper question though is why am i me? My physical self is a temporary collaboration of all these atoms but my mental self is... well why am I that? and that begs the question, what is me, beyond these neurons sparking messages to each other? i'm obviously something because i am these things, but why me? why not someone else?
This could be due to existentialism. You experience the world from your perspective that is unique to you. I can infer what you experience but I can never know e.g. if we were both to break a leg how do I know I'm experiencing the pain your experiencing? Another argument is Sigmund Freuds theory of personality development..
all of that is explainable, oh and where was i 2 years before i was born , the closest thing to me would have been earlier genetic codes. . .oh and 99.999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999% of all matter is OUTSIDE EARTH...not here on earth. if you take it all away..well, you cant , but what if you could...erm , you cant..end of story, nice book.

This is what he was two years before he was born. A packet of Kellogs's corn flakes!

Might try and find this book, sounds interesting!
No it does not.. Recycling but not reincarnation.
