The EXACT SAME 'Thing' that created 'Everything'.

And, there is ONLY One 'Thing', which HAS created 'Everything'.
Some thing created nothing.
If you say so.
There was no if, I actually said so.

And I didn’t even say so, I said something created nothing.

There’s the paradox.

But that is not what the 'if' word meant and was referring to.

Yes I know. It was I who, literally, said so.

Although you spelled it differently the first time.

I left a gap, that's all. Some thing or something, is the same something. Who cares about a gap. Except it's an irresponsible thing to do, as people might fall down it and maybe break their leg or something, or even worse, the fall might kill them.

Something created Nothing is a paradox.
And, what even is a 'paradox', to you, exactly?

By the way, some times a word with a so-called 'gap' left in between can change the meaning of the word, completely. As I have demonstrated and explained, previously.

A paradox to you is something created nothing.

Okay, let 'us' try another way.

What does the word 'paradox' even mean, to you, "fairy"?

You cannot know something that is false. A 'true belief' is from our perspective and therefore subjective.

To me, the word “paradox” means….( To lose yourself, you must first find yourself. )



Lose yourself, as in, there is no actual separate self identity to be or not to be, and yet there appears to be separation.

To be or not to be. This paradox suggests that true self-realisation might require letting go of the ego and sense of self.

We are emptiness walking around in human form. How does that work?

Yet it does.

So, the claim that human beings, in the day when this is being written, all agree that God does not exist, for example, is NOT some thing that you can know is false, right "puto"?

As always thank you for CLARIFYING. It is much appreciated.

Just so you become AWARE, to me, what the 'paradox' word MEANS, or is REFERRING TO, EXACTLY, is absolutely nothing like what that word means, to you

So, if I was to say or write, 'That is a paradox', for example, (in regards to some sentence or claim), then you WILL HAVE a complete MISUNDERSTANDING of what I am saying, and MEANING, EXACTLY.

Ok, after some deep thought, I get what you’re saying now.

That’s a good one. Like it. 👍
