1   The First Thought

1Nothing is first thought.
2The thought with no measure;
3The thought before one is.
4No measure with no boundaries;
5No boundaries with no existence;
6No existence which is not.
7There is no meaning for it;
8There is no thinking about it;
9There is no speaking about it;
10It is not as far as we may travel until something is.
11Nothing is an Idea.
12Idea is Nothing.
13The is and the is not.
14Is not is the boundary beyond which even I may not travel.
15For everything that is, is.
16And that which is not has no means of description.
17Therefore there is no word for it.
18There is no separating or defining it.
19Nothing is pure thought.
20Pure thought is nothing.
21Beyond this, nothing can be described.
22It is the absolute boundary.
23The boundary beyond which no law, no object, no concept, no thought, no action can exist.
24It defines the is and the is not.
25It defines the something and other;
26It is the purest of substances;
27No thing is the purest of ideas.
28It does not define law, but the sky upon which is existence;
29The first sky the ancestors spoke about as the beginning.
30Nothing is absolute.
31It is truly the beginning.
32For nothing can exist before it.
33And nothing can exist outside of it.
