What does nothing mean to you? A large hole, no visual perception or going into a sensory deprivation experience.
When one can get to that illuminatingly unique experience as in deep meditation, one is forced almost to examine ONLY after it has occurred, for if one was examining it whilst experiencing it, like a dream woken up from, then one would be back in thought.
Being in the absence of thought and experiencing it is highly enjoyable in a quiet sensitive tranquility. An inquiring mind free from bias and opinion, comes to the conclusion that the impersonal self is space and that so called outside space and inside space are the same. A bucket with a lid on filled with sea water is isolated by the lid, yet it is aware of its own nature. The lid is taken away and the sea water inside is now one with the sea as the bucket is immersed in the ocean.
Taking consciousness or awareness as space and contemplating the Universe and feeling that one is one with the Universal Space, then all the Universe is held within the Ocean, so all experiences personal or impersonal that this is local and non local mind it is all held or contained in this emptiness.
So the inquiry where did it all come from and go to is from Space. Well you say who created space? You have to be in it which you are to know it.
One of the great sages of Tibet said 'all forms come from and dissolve back into space (void) like a jack in the box'.
