All about nothing!

It is a bit rare to find a question as this. I am ever on the look out for such ones. The asker simply gets 'unmasked', as I would love to put it.
Some of those who take the trouble of reading right through to the end are likely to feel a bit dissappointed. It is therefore that I cautiously gave this title.
But I would love to call it thus:
Saawan hee Aag lagaaye tho…
Some ‘freaks’ like me, are on the look out for like ones in the ‘offing’.
For what ever it does(to you), I would still like to share my answer, with a deep sense of gratitude to the asker for having ‘thought’ of asking it!
Regards,

Philosophy sort of question?
Not that long ago (like 2 hours ago) i was sitting around listening to music and i looked at the time (a digital clock) and it got me thinking about existence. So after i thought for a bit, i wrote something down to see what it looked like:"I always thought that there can't be nothing. That there has to be SoMETHING. But maybe there is nothing. Nothing at all. Like everything we see, touch, feel, smell, taste (physically, i mean) is nothing. We think it's there but it's not. Even ourselves aren't there. We're nothing (again, physically). But our souls, or minds, or whatever the **** we are, they are just there and everything is just some sort of illusion created by ourselves all together, creating this illusion of everything (which is nothing) as one. But we don't realize this illusion we created and are creating. All our souls, or minds, or whatever the **** are synced or linked only to sense this world we live in. Going further, perhaps other souls, or minds, or whatever the **** are synced to a different world with different types of senses and beings and everything. So we live in this world based on nothing. And really, therefore, everything is meaningless because nothing is real because there is nothing, although it seems so real because our minds have been and still are making it seem real. Everyone's ambitions, dreams goals, and accomplishments are fake because nothing is there at all. Nihilism, i guess. I don't know, really."It might be a little confusing for others to read or get what i'm saying but what do you think about it? And are there other ideas out there that are exactly or similar to this? Note: Just to clarify, this is not something i'm going to be living by, just some quick thing i thought of out of nowhere.
Additional Details
I'm not saying we don't actually exist, but that we don't exist physically. Like our minds create the world and it is like a playground of sorts. Yes, we think, and yes, we are, but only in our own minds

My answer:
Ah! Though well meant, it would have been quite 'mystic' to have omitted the additional details !To create this 'sort' of awareness, we have 'structured' mystic practices in India, since ancient times. Your choice of words vouches for the genuineness! Travelling upwards from the end of your question, you have rightly said that this is not something you are going to live by. In fact you can not live by it. You can be aware of it, so that the actual living becomes feather light and yet very intense! This awareness is also called a deeper level of 'consciousness' where the logical mind finds a little bit of 'struggle' to negate this 'experience', but then the 'experience' by itself, effortlessly seems to subdue the 'logic' without even bothering to 'refute' it!What you call as 'synced' is the crucial link, that decides the very quality of our perceptional capabilities. When people get into spiritual practices, all they can do is to improve the quality of 'waiting' for this 'syncd' phenomenon or factor to 'happen' by itself, so that after a good lot of practise, the happening is with a better cetainity, and along with this degree of certainity, the depth and clarity of this 'link' affords a deeper experience, and then there is a choice to shift from gross material level of awareness, to the subtle level. The subtle level resolves most conflicts and confusions presented by the gross level, much to surprise and baffled look of onlookers, who then choicelessly call it 'mysticism' and the person a 'mystic'. When we 'slip' into this dimension of consciousness a bit unawares or unprepared, our mannerisms and manifest behaviour could cause a look of concern. The 'nothingness' that you mention in the opening is in fact an expression of an intense experience that suffers want of appropriate word, and we happen to choose the nearest available word 'nothing'. Please see, another word 'everything' also seems to suit(since you have an experience), but to a common logical mind, 'everything' utterly defies logic. Logic and the available words are devices to handle only items within the sphere of sensory level of perception. Now, please see, your (inner) experience did not require any sensory level perception, or even logic(in fact you are struggling to convey it in a manner to seem with a 'logical appeal'!). The clue is when you said "We're nothing(again physically)." It does look like a contradiction, but the experience was so clear!I can only 'wish' that you get picked up by a good guiide, who would ensure that your 'readiness' does not wait too long to 'step' in!The chance to take up this question is in itself a complete reward!
My sincere best wishes.
