Eugene begins by declaring that he is going to state clearly his thinking on this question in reply to some who have challenged him about it. He mentions Thomas Aquinas, and others, who have tried to prove the existence of God by logic. Today, we can do something similar because we now know, scientifically, that all ‘matter’ is energy. William Blake said “Energy is of the body,” but Eugene turns this around “The body is energy.” In philosophy there have been monists, dualists and pluralists. The monists think there can be only one fundamental cause, only one, ultimate reality. Dualists point to good and evil and say the fundamentals of the world must be two: a good principle and an evil one. Pluralists say there are an infinity of ultimates to constitute reality.

He destroys the dualist position because, if there were two ultimate principles, mutually exclusive, they could not interact. “In A there is no B, in B there is no A.” “If there were an ultimate dualism there could not be an inter-relation of function between the two absolutely discrete aspects.”
He destroys the monist position because the word ‘one’ in any language, implies a circumscription, a universe, a one-turn. There is a great big circle and everything that exists is included in it. But, every circle, no matter how big, still has infinity beyond it, so another term is needed. In Yoga, there is such a term, advaita, meaning ‘not two-ness’. i.e. a non-dualism. “The big sphere of the Universe is nothing but a modal expression of the Infinite.” and “Each one of us is a centre within the Infinite.” “We then have a non-dualistic, non-monistic, Infinite source power of all things.”
