[ActualityOfBeing]

Something is actually nothing, there are no things, nor anywhere for a thing to come from. The experience “perception” only appears to happen, as does thinking...so there is the thought / question “where does it all come from”. You can liken this to a dream, in which there are people, places, which certainly all appear to be perceived. But upon waking, it is simple & clear there were none of those, it was all you - dreaming.

Even to say “it” comes from nothing is not accurate, as nothing is actually everything, or superposition scientifically speaking. You & the room you are in, are nothing. Your idea, or thought of nothing, is not nothing, it is a thought about nothing. The thought / idea appears as a finite thing, like a chair, though it is nothing / infinity.

Keep in mind, numbers are just thoughts.

Time is a belief (a repeated thought), during sleep, the belief is not consciously held, so it seems as if it’s not ‘there’.

The Tao Te Ching references nothing / infinity, which again in actually is a substance of everythingness”, all possiblilites / superposition / potentiality. So a thought can never capture that which the Tao writings point to, as you are the very words pointing.

“Beginning” is a thought, not an actual thing, event, or situation.
