[back to repost - best wishes, y’all]
I agree and said this here over a decade ago.
It was also one of my stated beliefs upon joining this site.
For what it’s worth,
these ideas go back millennia.
So we were both beaten to the punch.
2012:
Nothing doesn’t exist.
[…]
Nothing is the lack of existence. Therefore, in existence, nothing can’t reside.The application of nothing can also describe the absence of relevance or interest.
The problem here is that the description must be applied to something.
[…]
To apply nothing to anything, is to inaccurately portray something.
To dismiss it’s properties and values.
If we describe Y as nothing, Y isn’t truly nothing,
we’re just saying it is for the sake of X.Nothing doesn’t exist and can’t be accurately applied to anything that does exist. Conceptual or tangible.

2013:
We are aware, therefore, awareness is a possible state of reality.
Reality will continually alter it’s state, realizing new possibilities.
Eventually, any given state, will be repeated.
Time is infinite, therefore, all states of reality will be repeated infinitely.We will follow the path of all possible states and in those states that determine our awareness, we will be aware.
So, once we die, we will be dispersed, go on our path,
and then eventually be aware once more in a state that permits it,
probably without any awareness of the path that led to the present.‘Being aware once more’.
And upon saying this, I got this reply:
Orbie:
Upon reading your thoughts strangely, it. Is as if you were reading my mind or vica versa.
This is exactly the argument which crossed my mind.
Specifically, your thought that awareness is, and not isn’t.
So if one would follow up on this, the suicide really can’t die, because~ even if,
another recurrance of his exact mental content comes up,
the temporal space between one and another recurrence is non existent.[…]
So is it conceivable that death (not physical death) is impossible,
resulting in an infinite series of lives?
This seems to be a reasonable consclusion of this scenario.
Perhaps I read your mind too?

2014:
All dimensions are infinite. There’s no beginning or end, in reality.
The beginning is merely a point where all dimensions intersect.
This is no true start, for before they intersected, they were apart.
If they were never apart, we couldn’t possibly be as we are. We couldn’t possibly be.Therefore, I put it to you, time is infinite.
If time is infinite, and all reality is just affect : A pendulum being pushed back and forth due to the prior momentum,
then we will once again emerge. Life will once again emerge, for it has infinite opportunity to.
And with infinite opportunity, comes determinism. Life is determined to emerge and re-emerge.[…] We will never know a moment of death. Death, is nothingness. And nothingness can’t connect to reality, for it is not part of reality.
We are only energy, and energy fluctuates, but never truly dissipates.
Energy just dances from one form, to another.
We will die, and as soon as we’re aware once more, it will be because we are alive once more.[…]
The only thing that exists is space.
All dimensions are arbitrary division of space,
based on our illusion that space isn’t static and one.
=
Time does not cause change, it measures it.
Time is not an effect.Dimensions are a construction of man, projected onto reality.
It serves our interests very well, but they are abstract.
They are not a true account of reality.Confusion is caused when expect reality to obey by our projections.
The confusion is highlighted by a question like, ‘How big is the universe?’
It’s inconceivable that there’s an edge to universe. Because, what’s beyond that edge?Nothing doesn’t exist.
To attribute nothing to something, is to disregard it’s relevance.
That something is still there, you’re just ignoring it.‘What’s that in your pocket?’ - ‘Oh, nothing. Don’t worry about it.’
Same goes for dimensions.
‘These are the dimensions of the table’ - ‘What’s beyond the table?’ - ‘Not relevant. Focus on the bloody table.’Existence is eternal.
Life dies.
It may be recurring, as I believe,
but that doesn’t mean it’s without end and beginning.
