Nothingness is the total absence of any type of existence, therefore
nothingness is totally non-relational and non-existent. It is a
non-concept that cannot be. A totally non-distinctional "non" -
state...
Anything that exists must relate to another form of existence, such,
that a contrast, or definitional juxtaposition can be made with
something else that also exists. Existence can only be relational.
Take any two distinct quantities-attributes of existence:
A<------P------>B
A and B perceive each other to be different with perception P. That is
to say A is perceived to be different from B and B is perceived to be
different from A.
A and B are different elements of a larger picture, but they
also[must] share certain common attributes of the larger reality
including them. From that perspective A and B are the same, because
aspects of A transform into B and aspects of B transform into A. At a
higher level of generality and symmetry, A cannot be distinguished
from B, and B cannot be distinguished from A. For example, dogs and
cats are distinctively different, yet dogs and cats are the same from
the perspective that both are "mammals".
Following this premise, it stands to reason that all attributes &
aspects of reality can be transformed into each other, and hence they
have no distinctions from each other[at continually higher and higher
levels of symmetry].
Therefore, it follows, that at a top[infinite?] level of symmetry,
everything is nothing.
This is an obvious contradiction!
Therefore, at least one thing must exist.
The one thing is a general principle from which all specific
attributes can be derived.
Intelligence is a specific attribute.
The one thing is intelligent, in that specific intelligence is one of
its attributes!
For all intents and purposes, the one thing is God.
