If we re ever to understand reality in terms of its underlying wholeness, its undivided unity, we must begin from a position and postulate of wholeness. In that sense, to return to the picture-puzzle analogy presented in the forward, we ll begin to put the puzzle of reality together by starting out with an uncut picture, by assuming that what we experience as the different pieces of reality were at some point undivided, existing not as separate parts but simply as a more fundamental unified whole. In the previous section, we hypothesized that existence is fundamentally a singular nonseparate whole. That hypothesis assumed the existence of an absolute reality. We will describe this absolute reality as the undivided whole from which the pieces of relative reality eventually emerge or extend.
Absolute existence is undefinable and borderless existence.
Absolute existence can be considered an existent nothingness, a void. Absolute existence is structureless, for it exists beyond relationship, existing without condition, without limitation or constraint, and thus containing no barriers or boundaries, no dividing lines that would define a here from a there. Absolute existence is therefore dimensionless, for dimensions require structural constraints. Absolute existence is even beyond unity, because unification requires that there be parts which can be connected together or unified. Absolute existence as such contains no parts, absolute existence is the foundation from which and within which all experience of partness extends and on which it depends.
