Philosophy Note 12 The world seems sensible in appearance, the surfaces are smooth, things called objects wake up and move, but dare: look beneath and soon you’ll see through the radiator grooves (David Lynchs Eraserhead) the depths of the senseless move. And das Nichts - no-thingness – retreats from this realm of ours, metaphysics, religion: even Sartre’s worm of nothingness coiled in being cannot catch this nothingness-on-the-move; it retreats through the floorboards, the desk and your shoes; some notice its left a place where it never was: confused: even god dieu and Victor Hugo knows not what nothingness is; for it, like the ground [Boden] is senseless and mute. Nothingness, an infinite sea of nothingness, crunching on itself - that is something! Everything arises ex nihilo, out-of-Nothing; what is here and now and there - all that withdraws and comes to us, objects with supposed subjectivity - is an eddy of finitude within the sea of infinite nothingness. Whatever exists, exists without existing: or rather, it exists out of nothing and returns to nothing. The sea of infinite nothingness is crunchy, making for something! Smooth it out - even conceptually: try it - thinking of Nothing - and all disappears! Shards of Nothingness separate memory from memory, sensation from sensation, and whats more interesting space - which literally means nothing - brings it all together. This is the double paradox of nothing, it makes us nothing and gives us every-thing that is presenting itself amongst our object-self with supposed subjectivity.
