0 (non existence), finite (exist for a period of time), infinite (exist forever) – Is there anything beyond these three??
Existence is about what is.
Never about what is not.
You walk into a coffee shop to meet a friend.
He isn’t there.
But what is actually there?
What exists?
The shopkeeper.
The tables.
The coffee.
The people.
That’s reality.
But you say he is absent.
The absence of your friend is recognized through thought and expectation.
Zero is similar.
It points to what is not present
The finite is what thought measures.
The infinite is what thought imagines beyond measurement.
Reality itself is not any of those.
It is encountered
before the mind divides it into zero, finite, and infinite.
What lies beyond these
cannot be captured by explanation.
The moment we describe it,
we turn it into another concept.
When the search for concepts ends,
what is beyond them becomes directly available.
Not as knowledge.
As seeing.
Reality is always what is.
Zero, finite, and infinite are concepts the mind uses to describe it.
