Infinite,
Eternal,
Empty.

That’s the Godhead.

Why Empty?  Why do Buddhists say The Empty, the Void, Nothingness?

We used to think that between the stars there was nothing.  Now we know that it is filled with “stuff,” even perhaps alive.  But the Godhead will always be, to us, nothing – nothing we will ever know, let alone understand.  As far as we are concerned, therefore, it is nothing – nothing for us.  For infinity, it will be eternally as nothing to us.  No-thing to ever draw into our ever-enlarging circle of knowledge.  Forever Beyond.
