The Original Derivate
For if there is an absolute truth, it is naught; but what is naught still remains a thought. Through its nothingness, naught becomes substantive, immediately giving birth to something. This something, however, is an intangible mass of thought. Thought alone, with strokes of its brush, paints a canvas of infinite extension, making the Sistine Chapel pale in comparison. It has been suggested that the perception of an object is a sin qua non for its being; without this perception, the object would cease to exist. When I dream, it is thought that enables me to create and participate in a theoretical existence.
My consciousness leads me to believe that I am no more than a thought, but this thought is everything. If my body is a tangible material, it would have to be a derivative of some absolute substance. When this substance is traced back in time, it becomes illuminated that it cannot be derived by any substance other than thought. For if my body could be traced back to any physical substance, it would be a requisite that that substance come from a parent substance--but where could that parent substance come from other than another parent? Immediately one becomes cognizant that there would eventually have to be an original substance, and that there could be no other to give birth to that original. Thus, there cannot be an original parent because it would have to be conceived by other material others.
By virtue of impossibilities, it must then be that all is no more than a thought. For if existence were of material substance, that would mean that there is an original parent--a parent which cannot be.

If I were to deny my existence, I would inadvertently admit my existence.
