What is nothing?

Was there ever a time when there was no outward manifestation of God—when nothing existed, but God?

I do not know, but I may give you my opinion. 

I believe that the Great Father of All never existed alone—that wherever He is there you will find the manifestation of His Power, His Wisdom, and His Goodness in material existences. 

I do not see well how it could be otherwise. 

Nothing! 

What is nothing? 

If nothing, but God existed at any time, then He was everything. 

The thin air you breathe―that is something material. 

The various gases are but the spirits of solid matter―they may be dispersed by the winds, but they are never lost―they again become matter, lying, as it were, in a dormant state, but they are not lost, for you have but to apply the proper means, and back to their spirit-life they go, and so is it throughout the boundless expanse of the universe.
