Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“Philosophy must strive to establish common sense (as Thomas Reid would have liked it) as the highest model for its method. We don't want to say that every easy or comprehensible thought and argument should be the basic criteria. This only means that skepticism has limitations.”

“If our mind, regardless of being limited, is viewed in the context of reality or existence, then we can assume one existence consisting of all other existences and consider it as one reality of which, most likely, as our experience shows, most parts will not have the complete grasp of its totality. Nevertheless, they will still be able to participate in it, with a larger or smaller amount of knowledge coming from experience (with or without the help of language).”

“Even if we assume all Reality, all existence, in its totality, as an illusion, we still affirm and confirm the existence of reality—the existence of existence itself. What matters is existence itself and not the attributes we apply to our idea of reality. If there is existence, then there is a reality. Existence itself is a reality. Our characterization of reality as an “illusion” doesn’t change the fact that there is reality (even if it is a reality of an illusion). If there is a reality, then there can be no illusion about the existence of existence. The only illusion may come from our understanding (or misunderstanding) of reality and its various manifestations and expressions.”

“If we imagined “space” before any universe came into Being, there would be only an absolute vacuum. Absolute vacuum is not “contaminated” by anything; no matter, no energy, everything is pure because only nothing can be completely pure. Primordial vacuum, as we know, is not space because where every imaginary point is the same, there is no point and no distance from anything to anything; this means there is only a zero.”

“If this something is only the Universe we are able and capable of experiencing, or if we imagine the Universe, which is, most likely, the real, much bigger one, the space would still bear the characteristics and “colors” of the one we can experience. Beyond this realm, there would be no other point of reference (Universe), and this Universe would be only a speck in the realm of nothingness. Even if this Universe emanates some of its fundamental forces into the realm of nothingness, this would still be of minimal reach regarding the potential “vastness” of “space” (vacuum) outside that universe. With one Universe like this, there would still be no distance between it and anything else and outside of it (or, precisely, after some point outside of it); time and space, as we understand them, would not exist.”

“Regardless of how far or how close any hypothetical point in space and time would be, it would still be the same point because nothingness is the same everywhere. The only point of nothingness is nothingness itself. There is no real space beyond nothingness and no real-time. The only way for nothingness to “survive” or “outlive” its nothingness is to live with the Being and move into the Being. The symbiosis of the Being with the Nonbeing is the source of life and space and time (space-time continuum).”

“If there is only one small Universe, as ours is, in comparison to the vast potential of the Being and the Nonbeing, then this Universe would be smaller, in comparison to this potential, than quark is in comparison to our Universe. At this point, we will bring in Einstein’s Cosmological Constant (“biggest blunder”) to clarify and present this idea within the context of dark energy and the Macro-Universe.”

“Suppose we use cosmological constant interchangeably with dark energy. That leads us to conclude that this kind of a universe, like our own if limited to our perception of it, would not be a sound basis for explaining dark energy or cosmological constant within the realm of the Absolute or its potential. The real meaning of the Absolute is not the Absolute itself but its potential. Its potential is both in the Being and in the Nonbeing.”
