“No Need for Time Before the Creation of the World

Here is one more quotation representative of the way Stephen Hawking thought:
“The role played by time at the beginning of the Universe is, I believe, the final key to removing the need for a grand designer and revealing how the Universe created itself. As we travel back in time towards the moment of the Big Bang, the Universe gets smaller and smaller and smaller, until it finally comes to a point where the whole Universe is a space so small that it is in effect a single infinitesimally small, infinitesimally dense black hole. And just as with modern-day black holes, floating around in space, the laws of nature dictate something quite extraordinary. They tell us that here too time itself must come to a stop. You can’t get to a time before the Big Bang because there was no time before the Big Bang. We have finally found something that doesn’t have a cause, because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me this means that there is no possibility of a creator, because there is no time for a creator to have existed in. People want answers to the big questions, like why we are here. They don’t expect the answers to be easy, so they are prepared to struggle a bit. When people ask me if a God created the Universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang so there is no time for God to make the Universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth—the Earth is a sphere that doesn’t have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.”

In its absolute state, beyond the World, the Being is immaterial, and the Nonbeing is an absolute vacuum, nothingness, or emptiness.
In the primordial state of the Absolute, the Being and the Nonbing become the same—the Nonbeing.

There is no time or space in the absolute realm beyond the World.

Timeless “time” is the potential for Eternity. Eternity is beyond time because it is all time, past and future.

Spaceless “space” or nothingness is the infinite potential for space. Infinity is beyond space because infinity is all space, past and future.

Creation or recreation of the World (Universe) activates the two poles of the Absolute.

Creation of the World is the salvation of the Absolute.

Absolute is absolute potential.

The activity of the Being enveloping the Nonbeing (Nothingness) transforms the Being and the Nonbeing into the World (Universe).

When the Absolute transforms into the World, the Being becomes positive, and the Nonbeing becomes negative.

The Being is positive “energy.”

The Nonbeing is negative “energy.”

Zero is the point of equilibrium between the Being and the Nonbeing.

Zero is the passage (wormhole) between the primordial state of the Absolute and the World or Universe.

Before the spacetime continuum, plus and minus are the same: + = –

Before the creation, Absolute is 0 (+ – = 0)

At the point of the World Creation, the Being envelopes the Nonbeing: + 0 –

The Being cannot envelop the whole of the Nonbeing because Nothingness is infinite in its potential.

The Being is infinite in its potential, too.

(+ [plus] is the Being; – [minus] the Nonbeing; 0 [Zero] is the Absolute)

The primordial state of the Absolute is immaterial, spaceless, and timeless.

The primordial state of the Absolute is absolute potential.

In its potential, the Absolute is infinite and eternal.

Absolute can only exercise its potential and power in the infinite number of possibilities and universes or worlds it can transform into.”
