Some Main Ideas Thought-Things Thought-things replace you. Thought-things replace reality. We are not real when thought-things. Thought-things are nothing about nothing. Thought-things exist in a virtual-reality world. Thought-things are the problem of the problem. Believing in thought-things is believing in fantasies. Judging with thought-things produces false judgments. Categorizing and labeling people turns them into thought-things (mental objects) that can be easily controlled, manipulated, and disposed of. Somebodies Somebodies feed on your life force. Somebodies are nobodies in disguise. Somebodies are composed of thought-things. Becoming something or somebody is murder. Stop trying to become thought-things by trying to become somebodies. Your vessel nature and somebodies both need your life force to be in your awareness. Nothing Nothing is better than thought-things. Nobody is better than somebody. Description This book is about thought-things and how they are nothing about nothing. Thought-things are reified thoughts, making them nothing thoughts. Nothing thoughts have nothing to say because they are about the madness and nonsense of thoughts defining themselves as realities. Thought-things are about themselves, not reality or truth. What thought-things are about is also nothing because reified thoughts are about false realities. False realities are nothing, whereas actual realities are something. So we have nothing about nothing whenever we have a thought-thing. Because abstract thinking can be misunderstood and poorly applied, this book sometimes approaches the issue of thought-things emotionally and physically. Whatever way you learn to face (self-identity issues, spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, mentally, factually, practically, logically, physically) the failure and wrongness of thought-things, you must stop using them to live a better and saner life. Thought-things are also recognized using other words: concretize, dehumanize, entify, freeze, hypostatize, mental objects, mummify, objectify, ossify, petrify, reify, robotize, and thingify. Self-constructions are the main thought-things that plague the world. Self-constructions are also known as the ego, psychological identities, self-assessments, self-comparisons, self-measurements, self-ratings, and the components of self-esteem, such as self-concepts and self-images. Nothing About Nothing takes the book Nobody Speaks and changes the wording of the sections and topics to form a new book. Many of the same lines and phrases are used but with a different emphasis and meaning. We have also chosen to be more explicit and less poetic. Some additional sections and topics are added, most occurring after the original ones from Nobody Speaks. “Nothing” can have several meanings depending on the context and intention. It is not always clear which definition is meant or if more than one is meant simultaneously. Consider such instances as an opportunity to explore within to gain insight. 5 Meanings for Nothing “Nothing” sometimes refers to its primary and most recognized meaning (nonexistent, not anything, void). “Nothing” sometimes refers to our original nature (vessel nature, host nature). “Nothing” sometimes means or stands for a person who is nothing (not things, self-constructions, or thought-things). “Nothing” sometimes means all people as living transceivers, not things. “Nothing” sometimes means the unknowable Energy (Spirit) sustaining all. Sometimes, the sections will be clear. For example, we have sometimes identified nothing as (empty vessel) to leave no doubt about the meaning of nothing in that section. At other times, the meaning of words in the sections might need to be clarified. Consider any confusion your opportunity to gain deep insight by finding clarification within. Pierce the clouds and discover the blue stillness inside. “Somebody” sometimes refers to a person who is something(s) (self-concepts, self-images, things, and thoughts). It can also refer to all people who seek to be things and thoughts (self-constructions). “Somebodies” is used as the plural of “somebody.” “Thought-things” is sometimes used to mean all the somebody dualities (e.g., high and low self-esteem) and variations (e.g., inferior and superior identities) that people are lost in. “Thought-things” is sometimes used to mean all the people who are lost in and dying to become things and thoughts (self-constructions). Sometimes, the words above, such as “thought-things,” have separate meanings that are meant simultaneously. Sometimes, the different meanings are intended to be read one at a time into one sentence, paragraph, or section for contrast, juxtaposition, and the tension of triality. Some sections vary between the individual and group meanings. Such usages are not intended to negate the instances when the same terms are used for only one of their possible meanings in a sentence, paragraph, or section. Comments Nothing is out in front of it. Nothing will not forget this. Nothing will be remembered. Nothing will remain when it’s done. Somebody will be exposed. Somebodies will be nothing. Thought-things will be displeased. Thought-things will not remain. Thought-things will be nothing. Nothing will be free.

Christian culture occupies the largest chapter in the book and is modified from previous books. Topics include the commandments of the Apostles and the proper physical appearance of Christians in society. • A chapter on the nature of God follows the chapter on culture. Next is a chapter on the use of idols and how people love to lie about their idol usage. Instructions on how to and how not to interpret scripture compose the next chapter, followed by a chapter on how to hold a Christian service or meeting. Also, information designed to help you start a Christian community is provided. • The purpose of this book is to assist in bringing back to life Christianity. We differentiate Christianity from Chruchianity and religions claiming to be Christian. For example, those who extort money from you with guilt, shame, and false promises to build their own wealth, power, and legacy are neither honest Christians nor true believers. • This book focuses on the Christian story of Jesus. • To develop your spiritual skills, read Life Skills: 10 Spiritual Skills and Spiritual Surrender’s Seven Steps. • To rediscover the Christian life, read The Seventh Way, Second Edition, Christian Idols, and Christian Scripture.
