This person wants to know if existence can kill itself? Can it delete itself from existence?
No, because that’s its quality. As we have said, non-existence …the definition of non-existence is that which does not exist.
There is no room in non-existence for that which does exist. Non-existence, to be poetic, is already full of all the things that will never exist. There is no room in there for something that does exist.
Existence is a fundamental quality. It cannot change on that level. It doesn’t become non-existent. It cannot annihilate itself to that degree. It can change form. It can have experiences that you might recognize as annihilation but you’re still going to have the experience of being annihilated, which means you still exist.
So it’s a kind of simulation of annihilation but not a true annihilation because existence cannot cancel itself because non-existence is already full of all the things that will never exist.
