What if Nothing was not the absence of meaning, but its birthplace? What if divinity was not found in certainty, but in the unknowable, the untouchable, and the undefinable space beyond it? This is not a book of answers. The Gospel of Nothing is a journey into paradox, an exploration of the void from which all things emerge.
