[MD] The differentiating nothingness

[platootje at netscape.net]

Ham,

While awaiting your next response here's some short answers to some of 
your questions:

Q: I realize that you believe man is the "creator"; but would there be 
man --
or experience -- in the absence of a Source?
A: do you consider the Source to be an external Source, or do you 
consider yourself to be part of it?

Q: For you, there is no other until the subject negates
Being from Essence.  Is that correct?
A: Yes

Q:  If so, do you consider the subject's creation of Being a double 
negation, since the subject (negate) is already
negated from Essence?
A: The FIRST negation
(I may have to restate my earlier statement that Essence does not 
create, however this is a tricky part because I cannot apply logic to 
the part where the first negation takes place. Logic doesn't work for 
Essence, only for existence, so here I'm still at a lost)

Q: Are you saying that what we cannot experience (of Essence) is not
nothingness?  Or, that it simply doesn't account for the negation of 
being?
A: If no one can experience it, it does not exist, because existence is 
the result of experience

Q: Isn't the negation of being the separation or "carving of it" from 
Essence,
and denying or negating the rest?
A: Not sure... could you rephrase this question?

Kind regards,
Reinier.
