“Real endlessness, absolute multitude, and variance imply an accident or the impossibility of an accident, which boils down to the same. Absolute multitude and endlessness can exist only in emptiness. The Home of endlessness and the multitude is Zero. We have to reach the bottom of a second, the bottom of time, to pass through the whole multitude and “infinity” to catch the present. Nevertheless, it is impossible to catch the present because it is Zero. Over time, the future becomes the past at the edge of Zero. The present is the annihilation of life; the present does not exist, but Everything is the presence of an organism that remembers and breathes according to its program—the present is the eternity it tries to avoid. All the rest implies some motion or illusion; it resembles eternity because it has eternal life.”
