Nonbeing Quotes

“Politics is action and all action is but a flaw in the perfection of inaction, which is peace, just as all being is but a flaw in the perfection of nonbeing. Which is God. For if God is perfection and the only perfection is in nonbeing, then God is nonbeing. Then God is nothing. Nothing can give no basis for the criticism of Thing in its thingness. Then where do you get anything to say? Then where do you get off?”

“The necessity of nothingness does not create anything. The real value and meaning of the Being are not in its necessity but in its very existence. If it did not exist, necessity would neither help nor create it. If the Being exists, and it does, it is pointless and redundant to insist on its necessity. The necessity of itself, without the Being, is nothing. The main point is if there is a Being, not if it is necessary. (What is) obvious need not be proved. Explanation of the Being and the creation or the existence of the world is not in its necessity but its existence. The Being is unborn and always existed regardless of being necessary or unnecessary.”

“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).”

“When the Nonbeing is unaffected by the Being, it is a spaceless space, a spotless spot, and finite yet infinite as potential. That is nowhere with the potential to be everywhere. The primordial “space” is absolutely “finite,” enabling the Being to inhabit or envelope it. Nonbeing is the exit for the Being because, without nothingness, there is no space. This Nonbeing is infinite in its potential.”

“Absolute, without the world or universe, is finite. When the Being is equal to the Nonbeing, the Absolute becomes the same—the Nonbeing. The World-Universe is possible only through the active relationship between the Being and the Nonbeing. The absolute potential of the Being and the Nonbeing is initiated and becomes the source of space and time (spacetime), as we understand it, and is the source of infinity as a never-ending potential. Absolute finiteness is infinity because both absolute finiteness and infinity are nothing.”

“Since it is possible to imagine either one or the other concept theoretically, it is impossible to defend this “concept” even theoretically or as a hypothesis. Infinity is only a potential, not an actuality. The Being and Nothingness are “finite” as actualities and infinite as potential. Nothingness cannot have any potential per se, yet the Being cannot exercise its potential without the Nothingness with no potential. The lack of any potential of the One feeds the potential of the Other. The power of Nothingness is equally “forceful” as the power of the Being. Without Nothingness's “forceless” force, there would be no force of the Being or the possibility to exercise its power in creating the World (the Universe). Absolute passivity of Nonbeing is equally vital as the activity or dominance of the Being.”

“Conditional absoluteness of the Being is, at the same time, proof of its relativity and the relativity of its antipode. This very relationship makes them relative. Absolute itself unites the Being and the Nonbeing. Lovemaking of the Being and Nonbeing results in the World’s birth. The world is relative because it comprises two “absolute entities”—Being and Nonbeing. It would not be able to exist without the Nonbeing as it would not be able to exist without the Being.”

“Real Void is in the space yet unaffected by the made “space.” Although it is nothingness, the void provides volume to the Being to create space. Whatever we see and experience as space is a real void, regardless of how strange or absurd it sounds. As we experience it, the appearance of space envelopes void with its information and laws, offering information about the curvature of itself (the Being), not the void, yet the real void is always there and is “indestructible,” unchangeable, unaffected, and uncurved.”

“The world from nothing is impossible, and life from nonlife is impossible. The world was always here, in one way or another, and nothingness was always here. The World is the Universal Mind’s “program” of the Absolute that, by involving nothingness, becomes the Universe. However, the Universe still bears all that is known and unknown to us with the spark of life in it.”

“Everything in nature coexists with something else. Our perceptions come from relations. We must see and perceive what we experience in specific ways; slight differences don’t count. What we see is not a matter of choice for the most part—to see the world, to feel heat, cold, and fear. All that exists has its frequency and structure within a larger structure. Since there is a connection between everything, the existence of one depends on the effect it makes on another in a very peculiar way. This effect is more of a result when the impacted one is the source of life and existence for the One that initially caused and produced it all.”

“Schopenhauer’s will can be “equated” to the categorical imperative of the idea (reason), which is the will. Without the will, the idea is dead. If the idea is the essence of the Being, then the will is its manifestation as existence. Only through the categorical will of the essence (ultimate universal idea) is existence possible.”

“The first and most important relationship is the Being and the Nonbeing relationship. This relationship enables the world to put itself into motion. Existence is the source of relativity and relations. Relations are the source of life. Relativity is the source of life of the Absolute Being and the Absolute Nonbeing. Once in a relationship, the Absolute Being becomes a Relative Being, and the Absolute Nonbeing becomes a Relative Nonbeing. The relativity of the poles of the Absolute creates the relativity of the Absolute. Without relativity, absolute would not be possible. Without an absolute, relativity would be meaningless and accidental.”

“As we see it, space is possible only when the primordial Being swallows emptiness. Space is born when the Being accepts emptiness, the Nonbeing, into itself. Thus, this condensed Being begins to dilute and spread out; emptiness starts making relations within it. Its life is impossible without emptiness: vacuum gives dimension to the Being, although without any dimension. Emptiness provides volume to the Being.”

“Every dimension looks at itself through the eyes of other shapes in the Universe. Only in the senses, and through the senses, the joy is born and felt. The Universe's uppermost beauty, depth, knowledge, and potential shine on surfaces. The Universe puts on and changes many clothes, colors, shapes, and scents. Light is the robe of the Universe and is more important than its depth. Its whole nature shines from its face; its mystery seduces us with the smile of beauty; its depth is in the service of beauty. The most profound depth is sad and lonely at the bottom of itself and does not need knowledge, for it is in and of itself omnipotent knowledge and truth. That’s why the Being, in a creative dance with Emptiness, embraces her, To create a smile on her face Which becomes space Giving birth to distances among shapes. Without shapes, there are no distances or Paths, Without the Paths, there is no purpose For the Ultimate Path is the purpose, The Path walks the Way to the Harbor. Space is the Ultimate Curved Path, On the Way from Oneness into Plurality And from Plurality back to Oneness. Plurality is the curved smile of Oneness In myriad colors and shapes On countless paths of the divided One Toward the Ultimate Home of the One Undivided and uncurved Self.”

“A journey itself is beauty: space, journey, is the hope and joy of the world. Nothingness is the most important “dimension” of the Absolute or God; he doesn’t have dimensions without emptiness. Without Nothing, he is Nothing. Without the Nothing, there is no world and ultimately no space; if there is no space, there is nothing to be curved. However, if there is something, that something can exist as the world, only with the Nothing or in the Nothing or the Nothing can exist within it. Nothingness cannot be curved; only the Being can have curvature. The curvature of the Being is only its “physical” appearance and not the actual curvature of space, which is nothing and cannot be curved. As manifested in the world, the Being is many and One simultaneously. It is divided into a multitude yet stays One. There is only one Universe containing plurality—micro shapes, micro-universes, particles, waves, whatever we call all the elements of existence.”

“The whole past, the present, and the future are in the world as potential. Without space, there is no growth and time. Growth and development are possible only in the multitude, which implies distances and is not accidental. Even if the beginning was accidental, and it was not, growth and development are not. A compressed idea, the primordial Universal Mind, contains the Way and every dimension. Time is the measure of distance; time beats from its heart and records the motion of its bloodstream; time turns the pages of the Way and epitomizes the unmistakable memory of the Being-God. Time is the Being’s device with which it deceives the emptiness within itself. Time records and glorifies the glory of the Being-God.”

“It comes out from no source, it goes back in through no aperture. It has reality yet no place where it resides; it has duration yet no beginning or end. Something emerges, though through no aperture - this refers to the fact that it has reality. It has reality yet there is no place where it resides - this refers to the dimension of space. It has duration but no beginning or end - this refers to the dimension of time. There is life, there is death, there is a coming out, there is a going back in - yet in the coming out and going back its form is never seen. This is called the Heavenly Gate. The Heavenly Gate is nonbeing. The ten thousand things come forth from nonbeing. Being cannot create being out of being; inevitably it must come forth from nonbeing. Nonbeing is absolute nonbeing, and it is here that the sage hides himself.”

“What is the Absolute? Absolute can only be the absolute knowledge, thought, mind, immaterial “substance,” the absolute “brain” (spirit) that contains an infinite programming ability and potential for absolute plurality through chance. Since human beings are limited, although much more advanced than other animals, they cannot understand inconceivable and invisible spaces by experience, experiment, or evidence, far exceeding their perceptive and sensory abilities. Even if they were at a higher level of evolution, humans would be unsure if they found the final truths and complete knowledge. However, if they free themselves from dogmas—religious, political, and others—human beings can count on a higher degree of understanding and closer touch with the world.”

“If there is only one primordial Being “in” the Nothing, there is no relationship between this Being and anything else, and all this void is equal to zero or infinity. But, if there is an appearance of a “different” something, the Universe, the “material” Being “in” the Nothing, there is a relationship between the two entities, and anything in and between them is space. On the other hand, since these universes are pluralities, there is already established space inside them due to the plurality and distances they cause.”

“This absolute potential possesses potential for unlimited variations. The possibility for variations is infinite. The infinite potential and possibility in its total capacity are unknown even to the Noumenon itself, and that is probably the main secret and beauty of existence, of the noumenal and of phenomenal, the main secret of the Being capable of becoming and capable of just being the Being in all its glory and potential.”
