If he has read it (I believe he has when he was young...this is all deja vu for me), then he's dismissed it. That's not an intentional put-down either. That's exactly what he expressed...that he is in denial and he likes it that way. I think most of us honestly fall into that same boat. But, if that is so, then why start the thread? And then why complain?
Death is a pregnant emptiness. Object-loss, world-loss, self-loss...it is the precondition for all creation. Creation is in or out of the void, ex nihilo, thus all part of the process.
Eros and Thanatos are one, hence their great magic and great terror.
Love that is never told can never be. It is the fool King Lear that asks his daughters to tell how much they love him. And it is the one who loves him who is silent.
Creation out of nothing...the dimensions of time and space are integrated into that ultimate unity, bindu: a point, dot, drop, germ, seed, semen...the primal oudad.
Our world, the material that composes it, is primarily empty space. At the subatomic level, most of the mass of every atom, even of the most solid of matter, of a mountain, for instance, is overwhelmingly mostly empty space.
The Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy: the total energy in the universe is exactly zero. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, and merely changes from one form into another.
