From long before the Big Bang theory . . .

Nothing is the negation of equal positives and negatives. Thus Nothing is identical to Everything. To know itself, Nothing burst into a fine haze of positives and negatives. These have since been recombining in an infinite number of ways. The earliest books I have expounding this theory are from the late 19th Century, but they imply there are much earlier examples.

Yin/Yang Everything/Nothing etc. And in some pop songs, also too. The Who - Let's See Action: Let's see action, let's see people, Let's see freedom, let's see who cares, Take me with you when you leave me And my shell behind us there. I have learned it, known who burned me, Avatar has warmed my feet, Take me with you, let me see you, Time and life can meet. Nothing is everything, everything is, nothing is, Please the people, audiences, Break the fences, Nothing is. Let's see action, let's see people, Let's see freedom up in the air, Let's see action, let's see people, Let's be free, let's see who cares. Let's see action, let's see people, Let's see freedom up in the air, Let's see action, let's see people, Let's be free, let's see who cares. Give me a drink boy, wash my feet, I'm so tired of running from my own heat, Take this package and here's what you do, Gonna get this information through. I don't know where I'm going, I don't know what I need, But I'll get to where I'm gonna end up, And that's alright by me. Let's see action, let's see people, Let's see freedom up the air, Let's see action, let's see people, Let's be free, let's see who cares. Let's see action, let's see people, Let's see freedom in the air, Let's see action, let's see people, Let's be free, let's see who cares. Nothing is everything, everything is nothing. Cheers, Scott.

(The World, the maya, ... whatever) represents The Absolute's Desire to Know Itself," by inventing the "World of Dualities", +'s -'s Yes/no ..and all the rest which come easily to 'mind'. [ The Absolute] is without attributes (one could easily add.. "Duh" given that so few have glimpsed even, enough of [Reality] to conjure up some comparison.) "God Hates ___" must be among the easiest of litmus tests that one is listening to a malevolent idiot, but there are myriad examples. "God is Love" seems to get much more respect as, at very least ... there's much to be said (and so much of poetry describing) -- er, intimations of that 'immortality'. (I return to [square One] disabuse oneself of any serious use of the word Certainty ;^> Maybe carrion reminds us of that, as regards our 'futures'(s) ... just a w.a.g.)
