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?”
― Robert Penn Warren, All the King's Men

“Only by the Nonbeing does the life of the Absolute become possible. Without emptiness, motion is impossible; without motion, no real existence is possible. Only that which moves on a journey, exposed to and capable of change, can exist and live. Without the Nonbeing, the world is the Absolute which sleeps. The Absolute, which sleeps, is the same as nothingness.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Awakening of the Absolute is impossible without nothingness or emptiness. Here, we see the natural force of duality or relativity in action—the relationship between the Being and the Nonbeing as the only possible relationship by which we can explain, or try to explain, the world and its awakening, ‘birth,’ motion, and life.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“These few digressions serve as the basis for the easier understanding and acceptance of the Absolute as mind—idea (spirit), knowledge, thought—not only as energy and matter in how we see and perceive them with our limited senses and thoughts but unconditionally.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The Supreme Force, uniting the Being and the Nonbeing, is the Absolute.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The Being is finite and infinite. It is finite while contained within itself. When it is within itself as One, it becomes its opposite—the Nonbeing.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The Absolute is a finite Being containing infinity as a potential. Without nothingness, there is no infinity. Nothingness is nonexistent and, therefore, the most finite thing. Without nothingness, there is no space. Without space, there is no time.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”

“NONBEING (NOTHINGNESS)

Only nothing is infinite in its endlessness.
Its endlessness is its end.
(The impossibility of a beginning and end is the secret of infinity [eternity].)
The endlessness of Nothingness is not real infinity.
(Infinity of Nothingness is Zero.)
Nothingness is finite because it is reduced to Zero anytime and anywhere. Anywhere is nowhere.
Nothingness must be endless if there is nothing to reduce to Something.
The biggest limitation of Nothingness is that it is limitless.
The lack of limit is the limit of Nothingness; its infinity reduces it to nothingness.
Nothingness is neither finite nor infinite.
The nothingness of itself and for itself is absolute.
(God of itself and for itself is absolute.)
Nothing (Nothingness) and Something (God) can be absolute because if they don’t disturb one another, their separateness reduces them to nothing. They can be absolute because, as separate absolutes, they are the same and one.
Since Nonbeing (emptiness, absolute vacuum, nothingness) is nothing, it is passive and compatible with the Being; it is the perfect medium for the finite Being (infinite in its potential). Nonbeing offers no limits to the Being, which allows for its potential development.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Neither Something (the Being) nor Nothing (the Nonbeing) have an end or could have an end. That which has always existed does not have a beginning or end, and that which has never existed cannot have a beginning or end.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Nonbeing plays almost an equally important role as Being. By lacking form, the Nonbeing offers life to the form. By lacking limits, the Nonebeing provides the opportunity and space to the Being (with limits).”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Nonbeing provides the “air” to the Being to spread its wings and fly “through” nothingness. The finitude of the Being is the source of its infinity through the Nonbeing. This infinity is not measurable because it is not possible in any particular life or any particular circle, but in the infinite number of lives and cycles of the same thing, living the life of constant change, constant annihilation, and rebirths, ad infinitum, through and by the infinite number of variations of the same finite and omnipotent Being.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“At the point where the big is so big that it almost touches the “farthest” possible “end,” it becomes static. The state of absolute speed is the state of no motion, the static state. At the absolute speed, the starting point is the ending or destination point. Appearance and disappearance happen at the “point” of absolute speed. The creation of energy and matter (the world) and the disappearance of energy and matter happen at the point of absolute speed through zero. The conditional biggest has nowhere to move, nothing to revolve around. The biggest must be near the point of Zero. It has nowhere to go except into the smaller. The life of the big is the life of the small. At the “point” of Zero, distances disappear because everything disappears. Manifestation of the Universal Mind, in its physical form, returns to itself in its primordial, immaterial form beyond space and time.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“We cannot be sure how many universes make up the Universe. The Universe we live in, which began based on a theory of the Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago, is only one of the many, comprising a much bigger Universe than we think. We believe the energy of the Omniverse can explain the dark energy for which we cannot find the source or explanation.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The point of absolute equilibrium is where the Universe reaches its “highest absolute” point on the macro side and its “lowest absolute” point on the micro side. At this point, the macro and micro meet regardless of how paradoxical it sounds. The Universe is static at the absolute macro point, which must be zero. At the micro absolute point, which also must be zero, the Universe reaches its “absolute” speed—“omnipresence” secured by the smallest "immaterial particles." Absolute speed is static. In some way, this may be the basis of nonlocality in quantum mechanics. At this point, macro and micro unite. This is the point of creation and recreation, the source of infinity and finitude where the Being and Nonbeing meet to create the World. The Being is the active creative force, and the Nonbeing is the passive creative force. This “point” is the wormhole where existence and nonexistence meet to create the world, the”

“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).”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The Finitude of the Being makes infinity.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“As we previously postulated, God of itself is nothing, and the Nothing of itself is nothing. In the absolute, without the world's existence as a plurality, God equals nothingness, and therefore the whole Absolute is nothing. The world is the Exit of the Absolute through God into nothingness and, in that way, into existence. The primordial essence in this manner becomes existence. Once the Being (God) and the Nonbeing (nothing) are united, neither one is nothing anymore. In this way, not only does the Absolute save itself, but it also saves the Being and the Nonbeing. This Nonbeing (nothing) is not nothing anymore but becomes something equally crucial as the Being itself.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“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.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Beyond the spacetime continuum is the metaphysical Reality of the Absolute (the Being and Nonbeing).”
