LOL, well, as we used to say, during my 20 year USAF career: No sweat GI. Actually, in my early 20s, I had what I would consider, experiences similar to yours. I didn't consider eastern religions. It just seems like I was immersed in nothingness. It is difficult to explain, but I think you have an idea of what I mean. After two years of wandering in the spiritual desert, I had nothing inside except anger, frustration, bitterness and guilt. Someone said, it looks like nothing you have tried, has brought you any peace. He said, just try reading scripture, and see what happens. I am glad I did.
