In an infinite sequence of numbers there is essentially every number that man has created and defined, and then past that an infinite set of numbers. In an infinite distance you have the greatest expanse that the human mind can possibly fathom and then beyond that you have another completely infinite expanse. And if you had an infinite sequence of randomly occurring letters, you would have a reproduction of every bit of text that has ever existed on our planet at any time embedded within this sequence, and furthermore, you would have infinitely occurring repetitions of each of these bits of text. Infinity is a concept that the human brain is so incredibly incapable of understanding that we cannot even understand the extent of which we are unable to understand it, and the thing is it really does not matter. The existence that we inhabit is a focal point in the relative center (because there is no absolute center, but that is another part of the nature of infinity. Infinity before you and infinity behind you, and you would think because you are between two equivalent values you must be at the center. However, take a step to the left and you still have infinity in both directions. Are you therefore still at the exact center? You are certainly at a different point, but this is why I say relative center) of four infinitely extending dimensions. The three infinitely extending spatial dimensions that radiate outward perpendicular to one another to create the infinite spatial existence we call the universe. The fourth dimension is the infinite expanse of time of which existence is extended across. We as individual things sit at the relative middle of four endless expanses, and all that we can really be assured of is the existence of our own personal being.
I am.
The shortest sentence in the English language, consisting of only three letters, but containing all the absolute certainty that has ever and most likely will ever exist. But seeing as everything is relative, this bit of information contains a more significant importance than any other concept to the individual, and contains the complete definition of existence to any thinking thing capable of understanding its innate meaning. If this is the only piece of truth that exists, then what truth can be found in nothingness? Nothingness does not exist, by definition, and what exactly is nothing? Nothingness is by no means the absence of matter, for the absence of matter is a vacuum, which is a thing, which exists. In fact, this absence of anything (which is not nothingness) makes up the vast majority of existence (or at least what we as humans know to exist). As an existing thing I suppose that there is no way I could know what nothingness is, aside from something that does not exist. If I therefore were to say that nothingness is an entity that exceeds existence, I would contend that God does not exist. God is not in the existence that I know as a human, and therefore exceeds existence, and if there is such a thing as God I would contend that he is outside the realm of existence. Knowing little of nothingness however, I as a thinker have no way of knowing who God is or what form of being God inhabits, or even if there is such a thing as God, however I know of and praise God in his role as the Creator, the mighty force that forged Existence out of the darkness of nothingness, and put me at my own little place at the very center of it all.
