Sapius, this term 'the hidden void' is David's, I'm only responding here to how I see things and how I understand what they may mean. I'm not consciously making claims "through personal belief without any logical justification", if I am then I would like them to be corrected.
Fair enough, Robert.
In the same way that when describing the Infinite as neither existing nor not existing. Existence is a relative term, and since the Infinite is all there is - there is no other Infinite to which it is relative to - we can't logically say it exists. Yet, we are here, there is this, so something does exist.
Well, if we are talking about
relative terms, then what about ‘the finite’ as against ‘the infinite’? Did you read Jehu’s thread “The Fundamental Unity of Being”? I know its quite long but soon enough you should see that ‘existence’ is not as relative a term as you think, because even when thinking about non-existence, existence IS. So, in my opinion, ‘existence’ is all that there is, and is already a good enough word to help explain or understand, and if that does not make sense, or does not sound profoundly philosophical enough, then one can call it or describe is as one personally deems fit, but one will have to necessarily fall into contradictions trying to explain it, since it will always fall into
the relative dreaming of the
non-relative. If “the infinite” or "the hidden void" is all that special, as I think you understand it, then what’s wrong with absolutely any other word accompanied with the personal acceptance of the idea as “ ‘neither exists nor doesn’t exist’,
(at the same time) “ ???
Describing this quality in words breaks down somewhat, which is why I referred to "perspective and language", meaning that depending on which viewpoint you take we can't really talk of the Infinite in this relativistic sense, it goes beyond this use of language.
Nor,
given the right context, can you really talk about ‘existence’ in a
relative sense, nor say ‘being’, and it seems that language can already handle it surprisingly well, but most probably those words are not profound enough for some.
It makes logical sense to me to conclude that since we cannot trace with certainty all causes for any particular event, the causes are in this sense 'hidden'. To my mind, 'the hidden void' is a descriptive term that simply refers back to these infinite unknowable causes.
So what if we can’t trace all causes…? at least we KNOW THAT! Don’t we?? And why isn’t ‘cant’ trace’ or “don’t know’ good enough for us I ask? In my opinion that is the root cause that the so-called “ego” dives into an endless pit to only give it a name in exchange for a false sense of personal wishful permanency, for then it equates its self to this Totality… “there is no beginning or end to ME, I am ONE with ALL” and the likes.
The ancients also “logically” concluded as to why or who strikes their balls with lightening, we have only replaced that with the hidden void, or the infinite, or the absolute, and so on… Good luck to us all :D
