I have been studying the Qabalah, for a few weeks now and a reoccurring thought keeps appearing to me. What is “Nothingness”? I do not comprehend whatsoever that there is just pure nothing- how was it ever came to be? This is really tripping me out I would love to hear your thoughts!!!

Quite simply put nothing is uncreation. There is the black which is a canvas for creation and the black light which is so bright it blinds out the lie that is the physical world then there is true nothingness for blackness itself although a void is still something.
It’s incognizable because to understand denotes consciousness and such concepts or the frameworks to understand them can not exist in nothingness.
Nothingness is before existence, all existence, before the existence of the creator of this world as you understand it and as you are unaware of, before the primordial or primeval.
Before the realms you can not see, before there was light, before there was dark, before consciousness exploded thought into reality.
Before physical reality was birthed to contain it, before the astral and before the void. Before all the entities that dwell in those realms, before time began to eat itself.
Nothingness is non-existence and uncreation.

What he says. It’s not even nothing because nothing is a named idea you can understand, and even ideas and concepts are part of manifestation.
I think of this as the same thing as the unmanifest Tao, which cannot be named or understood. But all manifestation comes out of it.
Then you have the right idea

In Qabalah, Ayin isn’t literal “nothing” like empty space. It means beyond existence and non-existence.
It didn’t “come into being” because it’s prior to being itself. In the traditional model, creation flows from Ayin → Ain Sof → Ain Sof Aur, then into the sephirot.
So the reason it’s hard to grasp is simple. The mind can only understand things that exist. Ayin is the state before that.
What happen if by a ‘‘accident’’ the minds was full before and joy. And after that accident. How would you call this nothingness. Like flat. This post retain my attention. Because when IF when what could emerge from that, other than the nothingness ? Because for me. It’s like a long long flat line with nothing to see or come across. It affect pretty every thing too. No i’m not depressed. It’s total state of mind who’s reside the void a long flat line. I only could sense what came close to the field. Because my inward eyes are almost blind. But reading a book i can made picture more real than a movie. If that void how it’s called for a mind in perspective ?
