- It existed before time started, along with absolutely
everything. The awareness of this basic paradoxical duality,
(Absolutely Everything & Absolutely Nothing coexisting
simultaneously, together, intricately intertwined), caused the start of
real-time. The Judeao-Christian culture of Western civilization
tends to deny the existence of Absolutely Nothing. This causes
words, (reference points), that adequately describe the phenomena of
absolutely nothing, not to be a part of the common vernacular.
Attempts to describe Absolutely Nothing usually include the fact that it
doesn't and cannot exist, yet it exists. The failure to
recognize that Absolutely Nothing exists, as a viable entity, causes
many flawed viewpoints and the inability to truly finalize a T.o.E.

- The Judeao-Christian culture of Western civilization tends to deny the
existence of Absolutely Nothing. This causes words, (reference

not to be a part of the common vernacular.
- I will approach the idea of Nothing, in particular an Absolute Nothing
being in existence; i.e. Absolutely Nothing existing as an entity.
- The Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary definition of the word
nothing does not adequately describe this idea.

- Looked at but cannot be seen - it is beneath form;
Listened to but cannot be heard - it is beneath sound;
Held but cannot be touched - it is beneath feeling;
These depthless things evade definition,
And blend into a single mystery.
In its rising there is no light,
In its falling there is no darkness,
A continuous thread beyond description,
Lining what does not exist;
Its form formless,
Its image nothing,
Its name silence;
Follow it, it has no back,
Meet it, it has no face.
Attend the present to deal with the past;
Thus you grasp the continuity of the Way,
Which is its essence.

- “Mahayana, within a few hundred years of its inception, split into two
main schools. The first is grounded in the work of the great Indian
philosopher Nagarjuna who, around 150 C.E., elaborated the doctrine of
sunyata–the "emptiness" of all phenomena. This extraordinarily
influential idea will be discussed later in relation to Nichiren’s
teaching. Nagarjuna’s philosophical tenets formed the groundwork for the
Madhyamika school.”

- “Nagarjuna, the Buddhist teacher believed to have lived in India
sometime around the late second century and the early third century,
expounded the teaching of sunyata (Jpn ku), which is variously
translated as non-substantiality, void or emptiness. He developed the
concept of non-substantiality from Shakyamuni’s principle of dependent
origination (Skt pratityasamutpada; Jpn engi).
- Nagarjuna asserted that since everything arises and continues to exist
by virtue of its relationship with other phenomena (i.e., dependent
origination), it has absolutely no fixed or independent substance of its
own (i.e., non-substantiality). Viewed from this perspective,
there is nothing that cannot be changed. Nothing exists entirely on its
own, and no form is absolute and immutable. The universe, then, is full
of new situations at every moment.”

- ‘What is the origin of numbers? In what way do numbers exist? Have they
always been present as 'Platonic' abstractions, or do they require a
mind to bring them into existence? Can numbers exist in the absence of
matter or things to count?”
- “The Kadampa school of Buddhist philosophy claims that all phenomena are
ultimately empty of inherent existence and do not exist as things in
themselves. All phenomena exist solely in dependence on other phenomena,
which are themselves empty and dependently related to other phenomena
and so on. No matter how deeply or far back we search, no phenomenon can
ever be found which is fundamental or a 'thing-in-itself'. Neither the
observer nor any observed phenomenon exist independently, but are
inextricably intertwined. This viewpoint is known as dependent
relationship.”
- “Buddhist philosophy claims that all things arise out of emptiness
(Sanskrit sunyata or shunyata)”
- “Von Neumann [VON NEUMANN 1923] proposed that all numbers could be
bootstrapped out of the empty set by the operations of the mind.”

- Let's start with logic & Plato's ideas on "absolutes".
- This will help explain the use of the word Absolutely
- in reference to everything and nothing.
- Everything literally means every thing,
- (object, particle, energy, matter, anti-matter, etc...)
- Nothing literally means no things,
- (object, particle, energy, matter, anti-matter, etc...)
- Plato described a dichon, (total absence of change, only appearance of
change), based upon, we believe, an invalid interpretation of Zeno's
paradise.
- See references, (in the notes), & the next two slides on
- Plato’s ideas:

- Plato's ideas, ideals, 'principles,' and concepts are absolute and
changeless.
- His version of change is only apparent, illusional, delusional to
observers.
- Aristotle invented a notion of 'substance' as absolute in place of
Plato's ideas as absolute which can be represented by nomenclature, thus
symbols.
- Since his idealism was based on the belief that all knowledge resides
within the spirit of an individual, Plato certainly sounds like a
constructivist. But then again, he believed innate knowledge to be not
only good and perfect, but also absolute - not entirely a constructivist
approach. This, at first glance, could seem to belie his constructivist
approach. Plato, recording the teachings of Socrates, actually divided
wisdom into two categories: knowledge and belief. He proposed that the
perception of absolute reality constituted knowledge, while most of what
we commonly refer to as knowledge is simply our perception of "a
representation" of absolute reality

- It was Plato’s belief that the visible physical world, the cosmos, has
been fashioned by the Demiurge based on its eternal Form. For Plato
every object in our universe, the realm of becoming, has been created
after the likeness of its respective eternal model in the realm of pure
and absolute Truth. Plato named the realm of pure and absolute Truth the
realm of being, because absolute Truth is perfect, unchanging, immutable
and ever-present. He named the universe the realm of becoming, because
of its volatility and its unpredictability.
- And these you can touch and see and perceive with the senses, but the
unchanging things you can only perceive with the mind -- they are
invisible and are not seen?
- That is very true, he said. Well, then, he added, let us suppose
that there are two sorts of existences, one seen, the other
unseen. Let us suppose them. The seen is the changing, and
the unseen is the unchanging? That may be also supposed.

Then you win."
