Nihilism was not the point so needs no counterpoint.

You have no point. You try to use subjective reason to deny subjective thoughts exist. There is no denying what is is what is in the moment. What we are talking about is commentary about what is. Where you are bent on claiming is talking about reality is not something.

Do you realize you being logically self-inconsistent when you use any words at all. Words are representations of reality. Words are not the reality they represent. So anything you say about reality is proving yourself wrong. Obviously we are saying something about reality. Claiming it is nothing or claiming nothing matters doesn't make it so. You are choosing your own subjective experience based on your language. Your opinion on reality is no better and certainly not more real than anyone else's.

Words are just words. The word "reality" is not reality.

Did you read Joan Tollifsons book called 'Nothing to Grasp' that you linked to?
Joan wrote another one called 'Waking up from the Story of my Life'.

The title of the books speak for themselves.

Did you get around to listening to any of the Jim Newman talks?

You might also like to visit The Open Doorway which is the website of Peter Brown.... and read the subheading 'Words/Ideas'........

Reality is not some thing.... it is this.
What is more real than what is happening?
Can what is happening be put into words?

Is there any thing other than what is happening?

Is there any thing to grasp? Is there any thing that can do grasping?

Because you said "nothing matters"

Nothing Really Matters.

Way to deflect as usual - "living in the now" like any philosophy has its place - sometimes other methods are more appropriate

No one lives in the now.
