Further to my posting on the non-existence of nothing:
Kevin wrote that, "For every yin there is a yang." I think what he was
saying was that, on the one hand nothing does not exist, on the other it
does, as a concept.
I'm trying to reach beyond the world of ideas, towards a recognition of
existence beyond that, a recognition that existence is one single field in
constant movement, an eternal process, which can never actually be
comprehended by abstract ideas.
For every yin there is a yang applies to all individual things, but not to
the idea of existence as a whole. Using Kevin's language, we could say that
what I'm trying to get at is the idea of the Tao; you can't say for every
Tao there is a non-Tao, for the Tao is everything.
