Something from nothing?

Comments

Heitor Leal Farnese

Can there be 'nothing' in the sense you need for this thesis? When there are no obligations, then there are permissions. When there are no permissions, then there are obligations. If everything is possible, then there are possibilities. Those are all things. So we necessarily fail to conceive nothing, it seems.

Italo Giardina

The ‘nothing and something are one’ for early Buddhism seemed to involve (heterdox school) the removal of the eternal soul to argruably distinguish the brand from the Vedic and Upanishads (orthodox schools). However both theories posit a base level reality where ‘thingness’ as the external world is undesirable as it disturbs, and so the summon bonum of human exisitance is to become one with the ineffable one or not to entertain this complete folly.
