Thank you, Infinite Consciousness for delivering this reply to Nobody; I'd say it shows my position, too.
But first let me thank you, Nobody, for delivering an answer that I can grasp much better, and my apologies if I had to push you a bit here and there. We do agree for the most parts, I now know, and I do think the problem is mainly a linguistic problem. You confuse me when using words such as 'non-existence.' I should try harder to be a better reader, but I fall short sometimes in that department.
If I would use your example of the blank white canvas, I would make one alteration: a blank gray canvas. The reason I would do so is that gray contains the 1 (white) and the 0 (black), while not giving up its absolute space to an absolute 1 or 0 — these latter options do not exist and cannot exist, but gray can be absolute (for it contains both/all). I think you can see that we are therefore in agreement. Gray would also be a better 'color' for it does contain the colors mentioned by Infinite Consciousness, but is not bound to a perfect state as white would be (only a few very specific color hues on color wheels actually lead to white), allowing for all variations and hues to occur. And yet by most people's standards, gray is considered the least important color of them all. Some would even call it a non-color.
Words are important, but words are just vehicles, easily understood when explained properly. When you say that "things aren't created and the absolute universe doesn't exist," what do you mean with the first part that things aren't created?
