Quote:

God is generally spoken of as being one. We use the term One as being Opposite to the Many. One we name REALITY or GOD; Many we name as ILLUSION or CREATION.

However, strictly speaking, no number, not even one, can depict ONE who is indivisibly One without a second. Even to call this ONE 'One' is incorrect. We do not speak of the Ocean as One. It just is Ocean. The One simply is

The ONE is one complete whole and simultaneously a series of ones within the one. Illusion is a ZERO and simultaniously a series of zeros within the ZERO. These zaeros have no existence- their existence is mere apperance in Illusion, the big ZERO.

The original real Everything is infinite and eternal. Being everything, it accomodates within itself the original real Nothing. Nothing is the shadow of Everything. The substance (Everything) being infinite and eternal, its shadow must also be infinite and eternal. At times the shadow appears to be small, and at times to stretch into huge shapes. But even when it seems to have disappeared, it is still within the substance latently. Out of the Nothing contained within the Everything is projected infinite and eternal nothingness - the creation, or false everything. The original real Everything is one, infinite and eternal. The original real Nothing, being in the real Everything, is also one, infinite and eternal. But the false everything that is projected from the real Nothing, comprising innumerable nothings, or all things in creation, is innately and unendingly dual. Within these nothings are innumerable temporary nothings, such as, What is the matter with you? Nothing. What did you eat? Nothing. What is in your hand? Nothing. What do you see? Nothing. And so there is no end to the action and reaction of the experience of nothingness by the innumerable nothings of false everything, which are projected from the one original real Nothing, which is infinite. The original real Everything is infinite and eternal. In it is the original real Nothing. Innumerable nothings manifest out of the one original real Nothing. And from these nothings is a continuous flow of temporary nothings. And so there are nothings and the no-things of nothing within the one original real Nothing. When you compare these nothings with the one original real Nothing, they are indeed nothing. Nothing is in everything. Everything would not be a complete whole without Nothing. The Nothing that is in Everything gives birth to nothing that seems everything. Because Nothing is, everything seems to be. All activity everywhere in creation is but a play of everything and nothing. When there is a complete cessation of this activity, the Nothing prevails. When this Nothing is attained, you have Everything. Relatively, therefore, the Nothing is Everything; whereas that which we call everything is nothing.

Once an inquisitive and doubting man went to Bayazid the Perfect Master and said, 'You, being Perfect, ought to know the thoughts of others. What am i thinking of just now?' Beyazid replied, 'You are thinking that which you ought not to have thought of, and asking that which you ought not to have asked. Had you come with an open mind and curbed tounge you would have recieved that which you ought to have recieved, instead of this well-deserved rebuke.'
