    True to some degree according to the nothingness theory like below.

    http://www.nothingnesstheory.com/

    The Theology of Nothingness Theory explores the essence of what humanness is, which is the awareness that transcends physical mechanisms - the awareness of oneness - where all things are joined. One might think of this as spiritual equilibrium. The heart of this - the universal pure core of self-awareness shared by all humans - is arguably awareness of God. This content is to be found in commentary by Msgr. Walter Niebrzydowski - Pastor of the Epiphany Roman Catholic Church in New York City.

    I may be wrong but the nothingness theory appears to try to tie consciousness with the evolution of the universe. Consciousness implies expression. And to a certain stretch of the imagination or thought a mathematical definition for "expression" is a symbol or a combination of symbols representing a value, relation, or the like.

    So that in a way without use of words what is or is not is communicating to us whether we humanely perceive it or not.

    A truly intriguing thought.

    As Nothingness contains Everything, that cannot be the opposite. And Nothingness is everywhere and cannot be absent. Expression may fill Nothingness.

    Everything is not the opposite of Nothingness, everything comes out of nothingness.

    The opposite of nothingness is everythingness and we would

    appreeciate nothing more than the absence of word-games,

    apparently there is no such thing as nothingness...(scientific research has proved that there is "something" in a vacuum..which was previously perceived as "nothing"..)

    So if there is really no such thing as nothingness.....there can't be an opposite...

    Nothingness as in..the hole in the ringed doughnut...

    Well....as for expression...I think Homer Simpson and his knowledge of doughnuts might

    be very expressive with his opinions on that kind of nothingness...

    The opposite of nothingness is not "everything" it's "something."

    why would expression be equal to substance in your analogy?
