Quote
Don’t you know what god is? God is everything and God is nothing; for the perfection created by man cannot be anything other than nothing. They decided to give a name to nothingness, and thereby the made it become something. Like you… God, who is nothing, can no longer be nothing since he is God. You could be a god for men. They need to give a body to nothingness so that nothingness can be seen and touched-at least with the imagination.

Quote
...when he kneels at other times and prays or meditates or tries to achieve a Big-Picture spiritual understanding of God as he can understand Him, he feels Nothing — not nothing, but Nothing, an edgeless blankness that somehow feels worse than the sort of unconsidered atheism he Came In with.

When you watch mountains, ocean or think of the infinite space, you feel small in a positive way. You feel close to the sacred nothingness.The path of devotion is based on the same phenomenon: You devote yourself to towering figures who can make you feel so small (in a positive way) that you feel closer to nothingness, closer to God.

Quote
A devotee reached at the door of God with nothing but a bowl full of pain and problems. She stood there holding that bowl for days with just one thought in mind. “Take away my pain, God.”Then the realization hit her: Nothing is mine so how could the bowl of pain be mine? She dropped the bowl. With that, her whole identity dropped into nothingness. What emerged out of nothingness was a new version of her, free of pain and full of bliss.

Quote
Jesus and Satan appear here as repre sentatives of two opposite principles. Satan is the representative of material consumption and of power over nature and Man. Jesus is the representative of being, and of the idea that not-having is the premise for being. The world has followed Satan's principles, since the time of the gospels.
