How about:
Science and religeon as thoughtforms, egregores.
Nothingness is to have no self, selflessness.
Eternity to be a state where one has no motion, timelessness.
But everything ('all') has to be in motion and there may no such thing as nothingness.

Just for fun exploration.

"has to be in motion"?
If I stand still, motionless, I am still in motion. For I have the earth's momentum.
If I step off the earth and stand still, I am still in motion. For I have the sun's momentum, the solar system itself.
What if we step off the Universe itself?
Would we not stand utterly still while all else in motion disappears?

Nothingness. If we loose our self what is left?
If you believe that energy is never lost, only transforms, then your energy will still be in motion, in a transformed state.
Do we have the ability to lose ourself, our consciousness, once transformed? Is that a choice?

Ahh, I get you now.
Wind blowing over the lake creates waves. Yet is that transformation?
Transform definition:
1. to change in form, appearance, or structure; metamorphose.
2. to change in condition, nature, or character; convert.
3. to change into another substance; transmute.
I would suggest that there should be alternatives to transformation.
The first law of thermodynamics is held as an absolute truth, but personally I wonder . . . .
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

And so here we are back with 'balance' of which we know nothing of black matter/energy's force; in the dark.

According to the OP that is only one side of it. We are also timeless and immortal. Even though we will shed this mortal coil eventually, we will live on for eternity.
No need to sweat it, we will have innumerable chances to experience this wheel of life. But if we knew of this infinity, this reality wouldn't hold the sweetness it does.
What a great construct.
