Contemplating eternal nothingness in definition presents a condition that implies an effort to suggest that nothing is something.
Just like water cannot freeze at 100F nothing cannot be something.
Any thoughts?

Imagine you walk into a room made of play-dough objects and you get so close to one object that you cannot see anything because there is nothing within sight to approximate with - nothing to draw correlations from.
And then you start to define what you see.
That is what you are doing.
Eventually you might be able to see that everything is play-dough, even yourself, and that play-dough is the Holy Ghost / will and the one who saw the first shape/image is Father / awareness / soul and by seeing he did create the Son / image / word / shapes / body.
Nothing is blindness. Willed blindness, or not, it is still the same.
As I mentioned above: everything we think of as an image is approximations and for that reason, math and science cannot work to truly see.
e.g. What is the true image of one? Is it 1 or is it the image of a single apple? Which 1 is the true 1 in my sentences? The answer: They are all 1... and their images are all based on approximations of their one will - their function. The function or will is what sets things apart. And it is the function or will of eternity / will itself which is what you're "seeing" by looking at the unseen.

Correct, but only conceptually. In thought we can logically deliberate the concept of nothing, but in physical reality we know that it does not and cannot exist, and that is its very definition. We use physical reality as a compare and contrast tool to understand the -concept- of nothingness.
I am not implying that nothing is a physical something. What I have defined is a dichotomous definition, at least at one level of comprehension, that combines the two into an indistinguishable singularity of immeasurableness, in which they share the same attributes.

In context and if I may you seem to imply that, "Mankind/Consciousness," is inherent?
