Lightkeeper, could you state your source or context? The reason is that "nothingness" has a different meaning in different religious or philosophical traditions. Shalom, Vern

Nothingness IMO doesn't exist. It either means the state of absolute potential: no-thing or the state in which any division of materiality into things is impossible "nothing." No-thing_and "nothing" is separated by quality of material vibration.

"Can you describe nothingness?" -- I don't think that anyone can describe something which they cannot imagine.
"Nothingness means zero chaos" -- it depends if one takes it literally or not, and how one interprets the statement. If there was no chaos (which is what "zero chaos" implies), there would be 'order', or 'harmony', and 'order' or 'harmony' is considered by many people and spiritual beliefs to be the ultimate aim and state of the cosmos. In this sense, it is generally thought of as a state of "fullness", rather than 'void', which is what "nothingness" implies. Just my thoughts on it.... Peace, Love, & Light

I agree with aged hippy 100%. To desribe nothingness as zero chaos is to assume "something" has to be chaos.

.... but can you imagine "nothing" -- much less actually "describe" it.....? Peace, Love, & Light

Yeah, so let it be what it intend to be, don't imagine, don't elaborate. Just left it as nothing.
