One of the worst emotions ever to hit humanity is the illusion that we're lost or separated. Disconnected, out of touch with things. Not really 'here.' When it feels like we don't have anything to hold onto, we tend to make choices that hurt ourselves and others. After all, part of our happiness depends on our relationships, and there are many times we lay in bed wondering why we just can't relate to anybody. "Nobody knows what I'm going through!" "They just can't understand." We fear that we're 'bad' or that there's 'bad' people out in the world. We fear that people won't receive our love. And the greatest fear of all, we fear that we'll be nothing.

The truth is that there is no such thing as being nothing. To be something is to exist and to exist is to be something. In short, we can never be nothing. From a mathematical standpoint, the very concept of zero is very difficult to comprehend for most people, due to the simple fact that a true zero simply doesn't exist in our universe.

Absolute nothingness isn't on the opposite end of a spiritual scale, it's not even on the map! Even when we commit wrongdoings that's considered to be something for many reasons. We can gather wisdom and strength from other people's mistakes. A poor choice can be rectified tenfold. But nothingness simply doesn't exist in the spiritual realm, and since every living being thing around us is inherently holy, the only thing we can truly fear is that which we are not. We make up our demons to hold on to what is good, but in Truth there is no need for this.

Many people have probably told you that 'it's all about the balance between good and evil, light and dark' and they're somewhat correct, except for the fact that it's ALL good because there IS a balance. Does this mean humanity is a shade of gray? No! We've always been 'white' just like every other being. Because in truth and light, there is no nothing! Pain is something. Love is something. But Fear? Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real. The opposite of Love has never been hate, it's always been Fear.

So the next time you feel like giving up and doing 'nothing' remember that's just not possible and believing that lie will set you away from the Truth. And your worst fear, the fear that you are nothing will appear real. But now you'll know that being nothing never was, and never will be.
