The one reality is a whole. The universe — including us — is from/in God — in him we live and move and have our being (spiritual and physical…which is subject to change) — everything is internal to God. He sustains it all (blended/changing timeline) complete and whole (unchanging).
Love/essence is not love without demonstration/existence (mutual production — one does not precede the other). That which they sustain whole is a demonstration of — revelation of — the actuality of — the projection/emanation of — who God is. So it is far from nothing as long as it aligns with him. Even the misaligned points back to the properly aligned—rather than nothing, it is a privation that is not able to sustain itself, like rust needs iron, and blindness needs the mechanism of sight.
We are allowed to be out of alignment because if we weren’t permitted, we could never willfully come to know him (which is to live the truth he lives) and he could never come to demonstrate (live) who he is—which is always already subsumed whole from the (to us) beginning. Self=Other is willful … consent recognition. The whole.
There is a good nihilization/reification that creates in alignment with the eternal—is subsumed in the eternal (like a tessellating fractal). The bad/evil nihilization/reification destroys/creates nothing eternal…self-destructs (nihil for the fire — all will reconcile).
