“If the Being or Nonbeing are uncreated, they both “exist,” but the world, as we perceive and experience it, cannot exist without both. Although Nonbeing is nonexistent, its nonexistence is the basis of the world’s existence. Only the Absolute encompasses both Being and Nonbeing. The omnipotence of the Being, God, cannot be exercised without the Nonbeing, which means that this omnipotence is not absolute. Nevertheless, as the sum of the Being and Nonbeing, the Absolute is not contingent upon anything outside itself.”
