Existence 1:1-2:9

1 At a given moment, Everything noticed its creation and it was as if there was Nothing and Everything was A-okay, as there was no separation and there was Nothing. At the same time it so happens there was Everything, and there was Nothing, and except for Everything or Nothing there was Nothing, which indeed was Everything.

2 And from Everything, that in its omnipresence was equal to the Nothing, spawned as necessarily born from the paradoxical relationships and developments involved herein the Something, which happened to be in an even greater state of undeterminedness.

3 This Sacred Construction was however both timeless and limitless, and all alone in its unmeasurable state of being. Consequently the sublime moment of birth was not attached to any point or stretch of time, hence unaffected by such concepts as beginning or end, resulting in one’s ability to say: nothing ever came to exist. Or: everything always existed. Or: good golly, I exist! What am I going to do now? I think I’ll start with having a light breakfast.

4 Now, this construction had not yet come to complete maturity, as such properties had arisen within the Possible Impossibility, that this Something was equal to a Field of Potential. Whether the forces implied by this Field were born by necessity of the construct set in motion, or by an implication of the Everything, this cannot be revealed without juggling

1 Had the universe remained in this state of being, then man would have had no place in the Ancient Spectacular, in which immeasurably small and immeasurably grand Conditions and Functions are pitted against each other.

2 The nature of Nothingness wished the universe, and everything within and because of her, but it was not wished, as in the one moment it had come to exist.

3 In a spectacular explosion a new hotbed of space was filled and a measure of time passed in which elements one moment in a certain point in space found themselves, at other moments, in different points in space.

4 Forces remained in motion, playing their part according to their nature, and so the matter and gasses of the heavenly bodies came into a swirling existence and there was development visible, of the rough to the refined and of the simple to the complicated.

5 Thus formed too our planet. And the Earth was a sweltering, hellish planet and there was much violence of nature and she made much of a racket, heard by no-one. At length she cooled down. She was born.

6 Again and still the forms and chemical structures refined themselves. In such a way, even, that the reactions and connections created a great wonder together, manifestations of the idea of Life. Organisms appeared.

7 Life appeared in simple single-celled organisms, initially, but as time advanced and the universe became old so did Earth at last see many-celled organisms and an overwhelming diversity of organisms spread across its surface, of plants and animals and bacteria and: the human being. And the human being was conscious of itself and recorded for all time its experiences, its own place in the workings.

8 The big-bottomed mammals thought and were occasionally happy and occasionally unhappy. And at times they were happy to be unhappy or unhappy to be happy. And now and again they would make soup or shout out an expletive, and sometimes the making of soup during its course would warrant an expletive.

9 And at yet other times they would sit saying nothing at each other and yet another time they sang a dirty song or thought of something as beautiful. Then it would start to rain and all praised their conception of reality.
