"Matter exists on the motion created by Nothingness drawing Matter back into the Nothingness from whence it came." Constructive comments in simple terms, pro and con will be appreciated. I am not qualified for any debate about physics, and so I'm just thinking out loud. Time is missing from this. Time is a human construct. How? Nothingness is void of time. It is a void. Above. Creation, is time so nothingness, which is void of time can't create. Nothing cannot change definition in mid stream unless it is a rock band. Above. Light and darkness are missing. It's like a rainy night, although your destination may be near you can't see it. A clap of lightening will expose it, but the mind can get confused again easily and lose track of the destination. Is matter an illusion? It casts a shadow, it takes up space. So you make this statement about matter and motion creation and nothingness. We see matter in our dreams. We are matter in our dreams, and yet we aren't. There is absolutely no nothingness. No such thing. Can't be. How do you know this? You can use your senses to determine matter. Motion is just time through space, so we're talking about time. And time is not what we think it is. Today is the 26 of February. I see time like a spiral. Rav Dessler said: I have heard from my teacher of blessed memory that we should not think of time as passing over us, but rather ourselves as moving through time. For example, there is really only one Shabbat, but we move thorugh the weekly cycle and re-experience it week by week. It is our cyclic progress through time. Nothing is random. Define time. How? Nothingness seems to need an opposite. If there is matter, that is something, then how can it be drawn into nothingness, without being obliterated and non existent? Like Genesis 1:5 what is yom when the sun wasn't created? Time. Nothingness has its opposite: somethingness, which is matter. That is something I need to think about. Wait a minute, you assume that the opposite of nothingness is somethingness. To me that is arrogance. I think the opposite of nothingness is evil. That void without Shechinah. Then you believe the world is evil. Matter is potential which exists on the motion (which requires time) of everythingness (oneness) drawing it back after the potential has either been wasted or refined into everythingness from whence it came. Since you're coming from a Biblical perspective then you must agree with Genesis that God created somethingness from nothingness. Tohu v Bohu, the Ramban is a bit over my head though. The hule and all. The 4 elements are found together in mass. This is and intriguing thought, But I really want to listen to Rabbi Eisemann's Koheles right now. Be back later. Nothing cannot draw because the term itself negates accomplishment of any kind. How do you know that nothingness cannot attract somethingness or that somethingness does not repel nothingness? I just have time on my hands and I'm blathering. But I do want to think about this, even though it feels flawed. What seems flawed to me is the kabbalistic perspective. |

Your meaning is unclear. You need a thesaurus, for alternate words to "Nothingness". It is very easy in any language to construct "completely silly". Or "fortune cookie sayings". David A. Smith Ramban: Hashem brought into being from complete, absolute nihility and exceedingly fine primary essence with practically no substance. But this essence is the potential for bringing forth other things, ready to receive form and to emerge from the potential to the actual. The Greeks refer to this as ulh (hule). After this hule, Hashem did not create anything hayesh mayin, anything out of nothing. rather He formed and made things. He brought all things from the hule, endowed them with forms and perfectedt them. According to Ramban: the heavens and all that is in them are of one primary substance, and the land and all that is in it are of one different primary substance. v'Ha Kodesh Baruch Hu bara aylu shinayhem mayin. The Holy One Blessed Is He, created both of these from nothing. These two things were created from nothing and everything else in the universe is made from them. Hule is called tohu which is related to the word tohay, regrets. Kiddushin 40b. Because tohu is an insignificant way to describe hule. tohu-emptiness. Isaiah 34:11. These ropes are used to lay out a building, they are not an actual part of the structure. Isaiah 40:17, tohu is a step beyond nihility, yet it is not a substantive entity. SEFER YETZIRAH 2:6 Hashem formed a substance from tohu, and thus made a "notining" into a "something." |

I haven't studied this Ramban since 2004, Roy. There is so little time in
this life, and so much beauty to tap into. Rabbi Nechunia ben Hakaneh, Sefer HaBahir. What is meant by what is written, and the land was tohu and bohu? Emptiness and void. That it was tohu beforehand. And what is meant by bohu? The Torah is telling us that it was tohu at first and what is tohu? Something that brings astonishment to people andthen it changed to bohu. And what is bohu? Something that has substance, as if it were written, bet vav hey vav alef, there is substance in it. So according to Ramban: In the beginning, God created out of nothing the heavens, for He brought their primary matter (hule) into existence out of nothing. and the earth, for He brought its primary matter (hule) into existence out of nothing as well. Tohu, matter without substance and subsequently it was bohu, for He endowed it with form. After this Scripture elaborates further that this form included the form of four elements, fire, water, earth and air. shhaym ha aish vhamayim vheyawfawr vhawahveer Haaretz, the earht, in the earth was tohu and bohu, encompasses these for elements. |

The essential point here is that there is a tension between the objective view of science and the subjective view of religion. This reflects a real conflict between G-d and Hyle, or matter personified. There are real conflicts in the Godhead, between the sexual polarities of G-d and between the whole idea of G-d vs. matter. These conflicts drove HaShem to madness, and the old testament is the record of His struggle with that madness. The new testament aims at a better resolution of the opposites, in part by accepting the notion of a fully Androgynous G-D. |

The "derivation" (connection) is not detectable, since all instruments similarly derive. I did not know there were so many ways to misread a sentence. If the connection is not [obvious], what then is it? Or did I also misread the above? Entirely possible that space, time (the "motion"), and mass all derive from the System.
