The Steel Guitar Forum

Many things don't exist. Nothing is one of them. We need the concept of nothing for language. Is God one of those things? To an atheist maybe. To me God IS all the rules there are. So that is not a concept All the rules exist so I call that sum God. Everything that exist is the result of all the rules that exist. Without all the rules you would then have nothing. Even in a place where matter does not exist the rules exist so there is something there. This topic shows how inflation works in the universe. Out of the concept of nothing comes everything. In reality out of all the rules comes everything. The fact is I know nothing, which is stupid because nothing does not exist.

Well Gordon, after that, it really leaves me with NOTHING to say.

Gosh, Gordon, how can anyone comment on all that without getting into a theological discussion, which is not the purpose of this Forum. You're right, to someone who believes in an almighty being or life force which created everything else, "nothing" is impossible, because it assumes the absence of an immortal being, and, without that immortal being, nothing could have been created by it.

I remember that, during the est training, they mention that "everything" includes "nothing". But they are incorrect, and I mentioned this to Werner, who I was working with at the time, that "everything" cannot contain its own absence, and that "nothing" has no meaning other than the "absence of thing."

I'm confused.

That's the first step towards wisdom. The next step is to accept one's own limitations and the limitations of everyone else and realise that none of us knows very much in reality. Most of what we believe to be is just assumptions.

Well Allen it did not stop you.
Nothing will stop you me thinkth.
Seems I would have heard form b0b had I offended the Forum.

You can call the sum of all the rules whatever you want. I just mention what I call them. I just go for the humor just as some folks may view this back and fourth between you and I as a battle of the twits over . nothing!

This could be the beginning of a beautiful topic.

Twits of the world unite. You have nothing to gain but your sense of humour.

Nothing can make a twit quit.

Could a nitwit?

Could we get back on topic, please?

For B0b and the rest...

N O T H I N G

Just thinking about how funny this topic is. It would seem that it involved every member of the forum. Those that posted and those by omission that did not. Those that did not, for what ever reason, posted nothing. I find that profound.
Oh well played Bob Knight,well played.

You'll notice that Bob, himself, rarely comments. He's smarter than any of us. It's a matter of "light the blue touch paper and run."

B0b, I tried... still NOTHING...

Nothing:
Question: How do you think the unthinkable?

Mike Tyson's answer: "With an ithberg."

He said 'You didn't bypass nothing.' What could he mean by that?

Nothing relevant to this topic.

Ah.

Certainly, nothing is relevant to this topic.

Oh, mama, could this really be the end?

Labor Day... a good day to do NOTHING!

Good suggestion, Scott.

Nope, just another page.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Charlie, are you stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again?

Nothing was delivered.

That's the place.

As you know, nothing going on there.

Happy robaL yaD.
