Beschreibung

Everything and nothing - an illusionistic view of the world The thought that the world could be an illusion is not new. Ancient philosophers, as well as many religions and myths have been playing with the idea for centuries. The appearance of the movie "Matrix" lent the theory renewed popularity. In just a few pages, author Julius Ferner, Jr. has developed a coherent argument based on scientific discoveries. An argument that makes it clear that the only logical conclusion is: first and foremost, everything is an illusion, and secondly, everything must have evolved from nothing. Yet, how can this conclusion be used to find solutions to the problems our societies face? This is something the author has also managed to address. A small, worthwhile read and a piece that provides "food for thought". This book is for everyone who enjoys discovering new insights and knowledge.

When Everything Comes From Nothingness

Can everything come from NOTHINGNESS?

That is a question philosophers and scientists have been racking their brains over for centuries and they still have no answer. Yet, there is definitely an answer to the question:

It is only from NOTHINGNESS that everything can evolve!

Any other premise for the origin of our universe would have prevented all the options available to us from developing in the first place. That is because options allow for a positive and a negative answer to everything. A fixed premise would exclude the possibility of a negative. With the exception of NOTHINGNESS, where the very essence of the negative makes everything possible.

At the same time, this also means:

Absolute freedom can only come from NOTHINGNESS!

That is because absolute freedom only exists if one can choose from everything. It thus follows that:

Love can only grow out of NOTHINGNESS!

Love without freedom of choice is not love, it is merely a programmed event or a dictate.

As a result, NOTHINGNESS is also an imperative condition for freedom and for love.

Is there anything more important to the human race than freedom and love?

The question as to “Why does everything even exist?” is as old as humanity itself. Attempts to answer it have thus led to various ways of viewing the world. To be exact, there are as many views of the world as there are heads in the world; among the seven billion people alive, no two share the same level of information. However, there are larger and smaller groups who tend to think along similar lines. One thing holds true for each of them: they all believe, but do not know. Even professionals of the natural sciences – with science itself being defined as a body or branch of knowledge – are merely a community of believers, although no comparison or degradation is intended here.

One characteristic common among all world views is the presumption of a condition, an original force, behind the existence of their universe, whether in the form of a god, different gods, god-like powers, universal energy, ideas, matter, etc. The problem with such communities of believers lies in the fact that they lack evidence to support the origins of their presumed conditions. For example, one could even assume the creator or original force to be either the devil or a collective power of all black holes or any other
