Very cool.:d Simple yet profound and deep. I like it.
This lines up nicely with what I've always intuited about the nature of reality. Nothing being No-thing. The universe/Nature/God becoming aware of itself, splitting itself up into many parts in order to perceive itself/creation.
Reminds me of this:
"What better way for God to know himself than to divide his awareness so that he can observe objectively as creator and subjectively as creation?"
The author also talks about how many esoteric philosophies refer to "us" as being thoughts in the Mind of God- "objects" that "Consciousness-Without-An-Object" has been imagining for eons:
"One of the first things we learn is that emanation consists of a hierarchy of awareness. The Kabbalah explains that the Ein-Sof (Logos, Brahman, whatever) made ten emanations called Sephiroth, vessels to contain the light (consciousness) pouring into them from Consciousness-Without-An-Object's imagination. These vessels weren't able to contain this outpouring, and in what Kabbalists describe as a "cosmic catastrophe", the vessels shattered in into innumerable pieces and scattered throughout the realms of hyperspace, each fragment containing a spark of divine light (that's us). The main task of every Kabbalist is to "raise the sparks" of his or her own separated consciousness to reunite with the Ein-Sof that emanated them."
"Every sentient entity in the multiverse is both an observer and an object of perception, and the source from which they emanate is the Primary Observer, which is unadulterated Consciousness itself. Before emanation, perception can not take place because perception involves both an observer and that which is observed."
and
"[The universe is apparently] constructed (and thus in such as way as to be able) to see itself. But in order to do so, evidently it must first cut itself up into at least one state which sees, and at least one other state which is seen. In this severed and multilated condition, whatever it sees is only partially itself...But, in any attempt to see itself as an object, it must, equally undoubtedly, act so as to make itself distinct from, and therefore, false to, itself. In this condition it will always partially elude itself." (55)
"Thus consciousness is prior to observation. Combine this logical necessity with emanation and we see that whatever the Cosmic Mind imagines cannot be separated from its source. It follows then, that as the matter-energy created within this explosive act of imagination expands and fragments, becoming ever more complex, each emerging monad of fresh awareness perceives as a subjective fractal of the objective One Mind in whatever dimension it finds itself. Hence universe becomes Multiverse."

The context the last image adds sinks it home. Beautiful.
"and because the only thing that could stop a wish from Nothing being granted was Nothing, the wish was granted."
Even though Many disagree, Nothing knows Something has not gone wrong. For Everything is the perfect wish of Nothing.

Actually I found it posted on another site I fequent (not sure who the original source is), but it's very lovely and I'm quite fond of it. I figured people in this community might appreciate it as well

The idea of 'nothing' is very hard to describe and it is part of my own cosmology. Lately, reading in fora such as these, I have discovered that there are others who entertain this idea. They all describe this situation ...well, let me describe it in my own words.
But I will do it in a new post.
