““We can almost be sure of two poles of the Absolute—Being and Nonbeing. Being, as I understand it, can be equated with the Universal Mind (Ultimate Mind) or God, provided we use the term God following this philosophy and not following its general use (as in religions), where this term serves the ideas, desires, and dogmas of the people who claimed to speak a word of God (and not to fit reality).””
