It counts for nothing when you can't utalize that knowledge into anything else but words though. Sorry to rain on your parade, but until people start instantly manifesting things into exsistance with just their will, then I will be impressed.
Indra's Net is a core metaphor of HuaYen.
Stephen Mitchell, in his book The Enlightened Mind, wrote:
"The Net of Indra is a profound and subtle metaphor for the structure of reality. Imagine a vast net; at each crossing point there is a jewel; each jewel is perfectly clear and reflects all the other jewels in the net, the way two mirrors placed opposite each other will reflect an image ad infinitum. The jewel in this metaphor stands for an individual being, or an individual consciousness, or a cell or an atom. Every jewel is intimately connected with all other jewels in the universe, and a change in one jewel means a change, however slight, in every other jewel."
(It's also interesting to note that contemporary physicists are in general agreement that this ancient metaphor is indeed a good description for the universe.)

'Nothingness', in this case, being merely jewels into which our light has not yet shone.

I'll see your infinity squared, and raise you infinite to the infinite power.
