The Book Of Nothing

By Leo Gura - January 17, 2026

When I was 20 years old I got the brilliant idea to write the truest philosophy book ever written. It was going to be 500 blank pages and its title was going to be Ad Infinitum. I was serious. I wanted to write an infinite book of nothing. But then I realized that no one would buy my revolutionary book. It was then that I realized just how biased humans are against truth. Just cause they won’t buy it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

How come my book was 500 blank pages? Because I figured out that the foundation of all human knowledge was groundless. Nothing was actually knowable for certain. I realized that Reality is so unknowable that it would be false for me to even write a book arguing that Reality was unknowable, since that is unknowable. I was in such a deep epistemic skepticism that the truest thing I could write was nothing. But this wasn’t a lazy nothing. This was an actual, proactive nothing. I needed to write a book of nothing, a book of negation. Because that was the truth. This was long before I knew anything about Buddhism, enlightenment, Nothing, God, Infinity, or spirituality. This was the best philosophy I could do on my own, independent of human knowledge. I took university philosophy classes to figure out how to write a book of negation against all human philosophy.

At 20 years old I clearly figured out that everything humans know is slop. This is why I quit academia. No one in academia would accept my book even though it was the deepest truth. I was so serious about truth that I took no human idea about reality seriously. My mind was so pure, so unbiased, so uncorrupted by human knowing that no academic, no scientist could fathom it. Little did I know then where that would ultimately lead me. I could have never imagined it ends in Infinity.

Even today I think back on those days and marvel at how pure my mind was, how pure my thinking. Such wisdom that I need to reflect on it today just to set myself epistemically back on track.

This was the intellectual foundation on which Actualized.org was built. Laid 20 years ago. This is why Actualized.org is what it is.

The reason I discovered Peter Ralston’s Book of Not Knowing is because I achieved profound not-knowing on my own, so when I saw it, I immediately knew from the title alone that this was the highest quality intellectual work in existence. Like recognizes like. The highest intelligence is Not-Knowing. Humans are too stupid to comprehend this. Recently I have achieved such profound levels of Not-Knowing Awakening that it transcends sanity. My Not-Knowing of God is astonishing. I don’t know God so profoundly that I achieve insane new levels of Awakening that can only come from Not-Knowing. God is utterly Unknowable. Nobody has a clue how Unknowable. Brain-melting Unknowability. It’s a race to see who can know less.
