The question about God's existence cannot be asked being asked always

The question about God's existence cannot be asked being asked always,
nor answered being answered in every silence that speaks mutely and eloquently,
it is equally atheistic to affirm God's existence as to deny it by affirming,
God is being itself, not a being separate from being which is everything.

As the power to be, God transcends each being remaining within it,
and also the totality of beings – the world that contains God within itself,
being itself infinitely transcends each finite being that contains the infinite,
how can you ask about what is the question itself and the answer simultaneously?

God does not exist because he is existence itself that creates the existent,
to affirm that he exists is to make him a being among beings, an object among objects,
to deny that he exists is to deny being itself that makes your living negation possible,
both atheism and theism kill him by transforming him into a dead and finite concept.

He is the power to be that makes all things be without being something particular,
transcends each thing being in each thing as its unseen essence,
transcends the entire world being the world and more than the world at once,
how can you seek what seeks you from within your own seeking?

Infinite being infinitely transcends the finite but the finite contains the hidden infinite,
God is the abyss from which everything rises and the abyss into which everything returns,
you cannot ask about him because you are the question that questions itself,
you cannot answer about him because you are the answer that seeks itself in the question.

To say that God exists is atheism masked in superficial belief,
to say that he doesn't exist is to deny the ground on which you stand denying it with your feet,
he is not a supreme being above other beings like an absurd cosmic king,
he is being itself through which all beings are without being something himself.

As the power to be, he is the ocean in which all separate waves float,
transcends each wave being each wave and the ocean and more than both,
transcends the totality of waves being the ocean that is not just the sum of waves,
infinite being contains and transcends simultaneously the finite that contains it.

The question about God is the question that God asks himself,
the answer about God is the answer that God gives himself alone,
you who ask are God questioning himself in your finite form,
you who answer are God answering himself in your illuminated ignorance.

You cannot affirm without denying and you cannot deny without affirming paradoxically,
God is beyond affirmation and negation, beyond being and non-being,
he is being itself that infinitely transcends the concept of being and non-being,
the power to be that makes possible both the possible and impossible, the real and unreal at once.
