>>10074002the only way you know anything is because there is. There is no such thing as what-is-not, there is only what-is, there is not a "nothing" because it would be unthinkable and imperceivable, something can not come from nothing because that which exists is only what-is, therefore everything has remained the same and only appears to expand and contract. We only use "nothing" as a formal indicator for the kind of being being is when prior to any understanding of being, we only use "is" and "not" as a dialectical method within the mind to traverse being as an outward structure which is called existence (etymologically "to stand outside of").
