If I ever saw a snake chasing a donut, I'd probably better understand the concept of Forbidden Fruit

I contemplated is this where those described as Archon's reside
"High on the mountain is the treasure transmission channel beaming as a bright light from heaven. it calls you now. The moon: she snuck away as I slept, admiring her tracelike gaze. The sun comes up now and THIS is the source of light we wish to capture. that the poet-philosopher sees is as a necessary physical invocation of your ideal. whereas: In ALL THINGS SPIRITUAL, the physical incantation is essential. The poet is the sole discoverer of the Form of Holiness. the use of the nonphysical or exclusively ideal imaginings of the Father/Lover [*note: this is the practice of most earthly religions.*] is the practice of the lesser advanced souls. But to meditate splendour in wonder of the master's physical manifestation is a rare gift indeed."

Who is to say that which we perceive as dark, is absent of any light in another spectrum? UV...
Just as one member mentioned bats, using echo location, we have different uses for our sense.
Your question is a great one, but can darkness exist without light?

What is nothing and everything all rolled into one, then add no space/time, no beginning or end into the mix and you end up with something that we humans can not comprehend since this is all outside of our existence of our universe.

We can't really even comprehend the universe we're in right now, much less the quasi-nothing/something that may or may not have existed before it -- if that is even the right way to describe it.
We exist in little universe bubbles of our own points of view, time-lagged, confused by multiple levels of "interpretation" by various people and methods, some of which are only odd, difficult to interpret symbols left behind by dead people, and poorly remembered in fragments by our limited intelligence.

I do not have a hard time understanding that if time does not exist then there is no start or end, no change etc...What really blows my mind is when God is introduced as the creator of it all and that is when an infinite loop of chicken or egg rears its ugly head.
