Existence always existed.
"Existence" is an
attribution, not a "thing." "Redness" or "heaviness" are also attributions: not everything has them, and there was a time when nothing did.
Some "things" have it, and some "things" don't. Only one Entity has always had it, and always will.
You are not that Entity. The universe is not that Entity. That's empirically certain.
Good Lord but you are weird.
The Sanskrit term
sat refers to the notion of existence-being-awareness and it is a way to refer to what you mean when you use the word *god*. What
exists (in reference to god) is being and perhaps (in English) you might say
beingness. Yet the idea is, in relation to god, the supreme being, that god is
sat-chit-ananda. Being/awareness (chit = consciousness) - and ananda (which refer to complete satisfaction ('bliss') in itself).
Being, beingness, ever-awareness, absolute consciousness -- these are the words used to translate the meaning in those dense Sanskrit terms.
There are, you brainless cockroach of an intellect, similar terms employed in Christian and also Jewish theology.
The beingness of god, the sat-chit-ananda that is god (in the Vedic conception), certainly could
not be referred to as a
thing you dolt! But the reference is to something that, by nature, exists
eternally. There is simply no alternative possible.
Can you once in a while, just as a favor to me, act as if you have a mind that could even
pretend to operate outside of your belovèd categories?!?
There was never *a time* when Being was not.
To amend a Ginsberg line:
What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open your skull and ate up your brain and imagination?
