    Nothingness is void of characteristics, incapable of being defined; nothing cannot exist, defining it imbues it with characteristics thereby removing it from the possibility of classifying it as "nothing".

    Actually a body is not nothing until it lives. Spiritually a body is nothing without spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is just a media to connect the spirits to your mind. A mind is just a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get it's mind. The same is the case with the human beings. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

    Spirits want to put everything particularly their sins on bodies, so that they think they can escape. It seems they always fear to some higher forces may be their superiors. They think that their sins may go with the human bodies. There is no afterlife to humans. No one lives in any form after death but humans must face the consequences of their sins until they live on this earth.

    Thoughts including doubts, require a thinker to think them. As shown by Descartes. End of story.

    1. Define "nothing" (hint: is not God, is not atomic...but a reified mentation re non-God, non-atomic).

    2. Define "prove" (hint: God Is One Mind Soul-realization qua proof; geometrized energy as atoms and causality qua proof).

    3. Check whether a) your soul-field is Self-realized, God-Realized, and/or b) if there are any atoms/causation in your vicinity.

    Impossible. Not even a good argument. Well, we should be thinking when we are driving a car. It is nasty when someone isn't thinking and runs a stop light. Real nasty.
