It is more to do with spirituality than 4th grade math, Nothing = everything would be more relevant to your substanceless post, once again.

My only response is to ignore you, as you don't add to the conversation or debate in any form or way.

So, you're both answeing to me, and ignoring me, at the same time?
Interesting...

Everything is nothing unless it's been fragmented. So from everything (pantheism) came separation with their according gods (polytheism). Another tricky step later, some folks found out that there must be a highest separation principle (monotheism), so they did lead back this logic to its roots. Everything seems more to equal one.

Everything + nothing = everything.
Neutrality doesn't even make sense there.

Since it was in response and in regards to buddha's teachings, I disagree.
Would you like to share your perspective of this particular matter or do you prefer the tangent?

I think it's more Like . .
yang = everything yin = nothing yin + yang = neutrality.
They both must have a plane to exist on, or they would anhilate eachother. This plane is simply holding both nothing and everything.
For instance, if you say nothing is everything and everything is nothing, the outcome and final result is only nothing.
If you say nothing contains everything as everything contains nothing, the outcome is unbiased.
You're talking about "nothing" as though it were something.
It's not.

I think theoretically nothing can, in a sense, exist as something.
For instance, say nothing exists except perception
There is no one perceiving and there is nothing to perceive there is only perception.
Perception can see blue through the act of perceiving however there is no blue out there to perceive it only appears within perception via processes in perception. Blue is latent within perception but does not exist apart from perception as nothing does.
Blue is the nothing occurring within the everything (perception).
Perception is everything but the infinite nothings (blue green, height depth, time, space) all exist as apart of the everything. Nothing exists as a by-product of the real, an aspect of the real.

In a sense but not really because what you consider to be everything is really nothing and only God and God alone is everything. You cannot find God in the nothing only the everything.

Haha, writing a long post describing things that are supposedly "nothing."
Just because there's no "me" perceiving a color from an external source doesn't mean that blue is "nothing." It's just blue.

No I mean it is nothing. I mean it occurs within perception because that is what perception can do. Perception is everything and every single thing that occurs within perception is nothing. Blue exists only because perception exists it is a state of perception (which is all that exists) not an actual thing or substance and is therefore nothing.

Well, seeing as a very basic question was asked, I figured it deserved as simple and answer as I could muster. It shouldn't take more than a word to satisfy OPs question, anymore would be stoking the ego, which we're all here to kill, no? Anyway, that's what psychadelics used to be used for, when escapism wasn't in vouge. Thanks

Again, no.

If you have a new perspective to add to the conversation, doing so is not boosting your ego. It's simply engaging in a good discussion.
If you don't have any new perspective to add, though, replying anyway is sorta boosting your ego (i.e. people will care about what my opinion is, despite the fact that I didn't support it or give any reason for it whatsoever!)
I guess what I'm getting at is, if you don't have anything interesting to say, don't say anything at all.

Oh, quit trolling me already. If I've violated a rule, report me. Otherwise, if you don't have anything NICE to say, say nothing at all.

Man, you sure are getting offended over nothing.
All I said was that your post had basically no content. Why should I care about your opinion if you don't support it?
It's in the description of the forum:
