Can existence not just be existence?
"wholeness of existence"? that existed _before_ time and space?
what do you mean by this?
God is the totality of existence
In your opinion
if god is everything then god is not sentient
god is the sum of all information in the universe
There was an infentesible amount of "time" at the beginning of the existence before space and time were distinct entities
Only what comes before time is eternal
my dick is eternal 😉
As it exists perpetually
*Hypostasis*
so you belive god have always existed?
but universe cant be always existed?
That is the general Christian worldview
The difference is that God did not create the Universe
The Universe is the result of complete totality coming into contact with absolute nothingness.
It is as light is, it always seeks darkness to fill.
Those things could never have existed logically
why you think there have to be starting point?
Why there have to be nothingness before universe came to be?
why it cant just be always been there?
The Universe lies below the Aeons (divine realms fashioned in conscious thought) and is personified as the being Yaldabaoth, the great balancer/
Complete totality could never have been seperate in order to come into contact with absolute nothingness
going to deep into theism here
can't really apply and logic here
Because the existence of something automatically destroys the existence of nothingness
semantics
what is nothing?
what is something?
If there is only something, there isn't everything.
But if there IS something, there is no absolute nothingness either
this universe is the bottom aethyr of 30 - it was nothing until the higher aethyrs touched the nothingness to create our plain of existance
Dark Holes are an example of absolute nothingness
something along those lines as per the books of enoch

If there's one subject that could be singled out as the most difficult to discuss through text over the internet, metaphysics would probably be a strong contender.
What is a dark hole?
black holes are technically physical objects though
their mass is just so great
Black holes are huge amounts of mass
Theyre so massive that they have a pull on photons
So they can't be seen
just think - the amount of shear mass in a black whole, there may be an entire universe inside one, we ourselves could be inside a giant black hole. Our universe was created when our black hole formed
there is not an entire universe in them though
we have a basic understanding how how black holes come to be, and therefore what they're made of
multiverse theory is a hypothesis
