[MD] The differentiating nothingness

[platootje at netscape.net]

Hello Ham,

Further on nothingness and a creation theory:

I?m taking my time to reply because I really am thinking about the 
concept of nothingness. Two main objections against it remain:
1)  You still haven?t convinced me how my theory based on duality needs 
a ?nothingness?. I?ve pointed out that duality can and should be 
limited to existence so leaving out nothingness does not do any harm to 
it.
2)  There are indications from quantum physics that there is a universal 
interconnection of everything, in other words, there are no holes in 
existence

Then there are minor objections:
I believe there is no a priori particle. No smallest building block. 
Again, quantum physics seems to indicate that it?s the experience plays 
a vital role in the manifestation of matter. This leads me to believe 
there?s no fundamental difference between a chair that?s experienced or 
a thought that?s experienced, or a feeling that?s experienced, or an 
emotion that?s experienced.
They are all X?s experienced because they are separated by experience 
from their not-X?s.
So fitting in nothingness there seems an unnecessary and complex 
operations which in fact would remove the duality because then there 
would not only be an X and a not-X but also nothingness that is both 
other to X and not-X (as opposes to Essence).
Also if there would be nothingness the primary Essential division would 
be between existence and nothingness while I think that the primary 
division is the division between I and not-I (or the creation of 
self-awareness).

As for the creation itself, this may well be a deliberate Essential act 
to find out if man would indeed find back it?s own Essence. So yes, you 
may call it a game.

I?m not sure if I?ve answered all your separate questions, I?ve looked 
at your thesis on the internet several times but, I like parts of it, I 
disagree with other parts.

Maybe we can step over our different view point on nothingness and move 
on.

Best regards,
Reinier.
