Nothing is true. Does that mean A) nothing is the only true thing? or 2) everything is false?

    It is about the word "thing," is isn't? But it's also a Koan. It's a double-bind. By the way, for my sequel I need a semantic double-bind phrase, if possible from Biblical scripture? Can anyone help with that?

    Going off my first thoughts on this, maybe a better question for me is, "If truth is a constant contextual outpouring, then is nothingness the source?" What does nothingness feel like? I don't mean the expressions of perception that involves experiencing conceptual nothingness.

    Jason, I remember you saying you once spent thirty minutes saying, "Oh my God," without any recollection of what your experience was. Was that nothingness? If nothingness cannot exist without everything, then is everything vomitted out eternally? Is the silence deafening? Do we perceive it as nothingness because that is what it is compared to us only? Is this true Source? Is nothingness the absence of Mind or the totality of it? Am I overthinking nothingness or is it always pulling like a black hole? This is what I saw unfold - a little tricky to recollect long enough to write it down.

    I usually go with "both" on questions like this one - I see no reason to break that habit. Nothingness is pure. Is this the great fountain of truth at the center from which we can all drink? If truth is an action, then is no action the only true action?

    Semantic logic tells us that 'Everything's false'. Use opposites to approximate meaning in this case.
