I could see nothing below the kneecaps ... there was nothing in my universe ... and nothing new had happened ... there was nothing to say ... nothing seemed to happen ... he twinkles at me and nothing happens ... there was nothing ... he does nothing ... nothing turns you on ... nothing to do ... nothing's happened to any of it ... I do nothing but sadhana ... there is nothing ... can I say there is absolutely nothing ... the guru taught me nothing ... nothing to do with worldliness ... no food, no nothing ... nothing to do ... nowhere to go ... there is nothing to be ... doing nothing, that's drama ... nothing is really happening at all ... nothing ever happens ... there's nothing you've got to do ... it ain't nothing but stuff ... sine qua non (without which nothing) ... nothing has happened ... I am nothing ... nothing less than death and rebirth ... it profiteth me nothing ... our will has nothing to do with it ... there's no doer to do it anyway ... and then you're in the void ... the final place that game leads to is where you live consciousness, in all of it, which is in nothing ... stay in a place inside yourself where nothing is happening at all ... beyond that there is nothing ... moving toward Zen, reflect nothingness ... in the end this is the nut: it's all or nothing ... he goes into one-with-it-all into the void ... YOU ARE THE VOID ... then you go through the final door and you go from form into the formless into the void, into the beyond the beyond ... push far enough into the void ... and then you're in the void. </FONT></FONT></P></SPAN>
