Hermetic philosophy, or theosophy, holds that Space is all there is. 
Therefore, Space is either manifest or unmanifest, and there cannot be such a 
concept as "no space." It follows that there must always be an abstract laya 
or zero-point around which Space must exist... Since, as theosophy also 
teaches, there can never be any cessation of motion -- whether such motion is 
represented as the objective (metric) cyclic movement of energy within the 
manifest space, or as the abstract (non-metric) cyclic motion (pure 
"spinergy") within the Absolute "mother" Space, or Paramartha (which includes 
Parabrahm) in Paranishpanna -- it confirms the adage, as the Buddha said, 
"No-thing comes from nothing." 

Also, since abstract motion can only be equated with non-dimensional spin, 
and since spin can only be equated with an endless and beginningless movement 
of absolute abstract space having zero diameter, there must always be a 
central, *unmoving* or "static" point of zero (0) dimension around which both 
the manifest motion (circular) and the abstract motion "spin" is cyclically 
*moving* (turning or spinning)." Therefore the abstract zero-point, as is the 
Space surrounding it (whether manifest or unmanifest), must be both 
everywhere and nowhere (locally and nonlocally) *existent* throughout all 
eternity -- i.e., whether it is in temporal objective motion or in eternal 
abstract motion of infinite duration. 

This static (inertial) point of zero dimension around which all motion must 
occur (and be always tied to), then, is the only possibility that can justify 
the unequivocal theosophical statement, that "the center of the universe is 
everywhere and its circumference is nowhere." Thus, the Abstract Origin 
remains forever existent as both a zero-point (of absolute inertia), and as 
*spin* (of infinite energetic force or "spinergy") around that point -- 
whether the Cosmos is manifest (Brahma) or unmanifest (Parabrahm). This 
confirms the avatar Krishna's (representing Parabrahm) statement in the 
Bhagavad Gita, "I established this whole universe with a single portion of 
myself, and remain separate." 

Therefore Space, in its dual aspects of both static zero-points and energetic 
motion rooted in spin, no matter what its state or condition, whether 
manifest or unmanifest, temporal or timeless, objective or abstract, is 
always some-thing that can be *grasped* or *imagined* either intuitively or 
rationally by our "dual mind." Long and deep meditation on these abstract 
and, in some sense, inherently logical ideas can result in a profound 
conviction of such facts. (Although, no "proof" in a reductive or objective 
scientific sense can ever be shown that could unequivocally convince 
another.) However, some of the abstract mathematics that underlie the 
current multidimensional Superstring/M-brane theories have come relatively 
close to "proving" or, at least, verifying the theosophical teachings.
