For something to exist, Time and Space must be present. But what you call
‘permanent existence’ is beyond Time and Space. So it does not dwell in existence, but in Being, which is outside of Time and Space . That is The Absolute, and the only thing that qualifies as Being outside of Time and Space is Nothingness, which is none other than Consciousness. The divine nature cannot be ‘something’ as ‘something’ is limited and finite, and The Infinite cannot be encapsulated by an idea called ‘something’. However, the divine nature can indeed play itself
as if it is ‘something’, and so we have, ta da: ‘The World’. Only Nothingness, vast and infinite, can allow Everything.
You think that ‘something’ is being brought into existence, but you are mistaken. It only SEEMS as if that is the case; that you and I and Everything actually ‘exists’, but that is what people who are asleep and dreaming believe, and on that level of reality, it is true. Only when they awaken do they realize the illusory nature of the dream. Well, the same is true for this level of ‘material’ reality: it is just a dream from which we must awaken in order to understand that we have been asleep, dreaming, and that a higher state of conscious awareness exists that is the True Reality.

I like the post.
It is human who need time and space to perceive reality, reality does not need dimensions of time and pace.
