Nishitani makes my head hurt. So now I am to believe that we all came from nothing? Ok. I buy that. But what about God? If......

I have to stop. I'm analyzing the bad book. Some one slap me please. But first hand my some drugs...my migraine is back.

But you see, it is not actually nothing, it is nothing-ness. Actual nothing would be nihilism, but we're being all Buddhist, so to be Nihilist would be to get it wrong. You see, there's a mountain, but then the mountain goes away, but then the mountain comes back and it's totally more awesome than before.

Basically, I think, it's all: we are nothing, but we aren't, but we are, but we're not. That's what the whole book says. Over and over again. I promise. You don't even have to read it now. I could only stomach reading half of it.

It's like the Tao te Ching, only the Tao te Ching makes more sense (to me, anyway): form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Form and emptiness are codependent, just like good and evil and nothingness and um... stuffness. The mountain's existence depends on there not being a mountain somewhere else. To see the mountain is to see the form, to see the emptiness in the mountain is to see the Tao, is to see God.

Or something like that. It worked for me.
