Hi Ham and all, Essence is not-being! Essence is the ultimate reality and must be the primary Absolute Source of diversity. There must be one attribute within the absolute potentiality of Essence that qualifies as a differentiator-Nothingness, the antithesis of Is-ness.
For me Essence divided is still Essence. To equate Essence and Nothingness not-being to conceptualize an absolute potentiality in Essence is confusing for me.
