this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and
other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it
implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first.
The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to,
or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having
been born. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor
inward, no law. It is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe
is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and
unlimited possibility -- boundless possibility. There is no compulsion
and no law. It is boundless freedom.
