You have one too many "negates" in that statement.

Here is the paradigm:
Essence is "negational" -- it creates by negating nothingness.  Subjective
awareness is that nothingness.  By applying nothingness to its object
(Essence), the subject becomes aware of "being" as a differentiated thing or
event.  This is the negation of beingness by an already negated self.
Hence, the "double negation".  In the process of perceiving physical
beingness as an intellectual "construct", the value of what is perceived is
realized sensually (conditionally).  This value replaces the nothingness of
the primary (Essential) negation, returning some of the Essence negated to
create subjective awareness.  So, the contents of awareness consist of both
intellectualized images of finite being(s) and conditional values that these
chosen images represent.  It is the latter which is the real essence of man,
but he doesn't know this essence as absolute because it is only experienced
as a "relational contingency" of absolute Essence.  Like all relational
contingencies, subjective experience ultimately gives way to the Oneness of
Essence.

I have contacted Prof. Clyde Miller at Stony Brook to elaborate on the Cusan
principle which is the basis of my hypothesis.  (Miller is the Harvard
genius who put Cusa's theory into the logical proposition: "For any given
non-divine X, X is not other than X, and X is other than not X.  For the
divine not other, X is not other than either X or not X.")  He has promised
to review my thesis and get back to me with some comments.  When he does,
I'll pass them along to you folks in the hope that they may shed some
additional insight on this fascinating theorem.

Meanwhile, happy reading!
