There is no creator, no design, no purpose. There is only Quality. Apart from the fact that Quality (Value) is a human measurement, nothing comes from nothingness, let alone a divided system. There must be a primary cause or source for anything to be. This is not a concept of mythology or religion, it's the logic of reason.
Hi Ham, Why do you say it is a divided system? How does this work 4u?: Quality is Essence, our negation of Quality provides us with a means to identify individual and separate degrees of Quality. It is because we negate Quality that we are able to experience it. A drawing is experienced through its negation of a white piece of paper. However, the drawing cannot exist without that piece of paper. In terms of a primary cause or source for everything, I am not sure if that is necessary. You are asking what makes it up? Why can it not just be?
