But how could it exist in intellect, in which all things are present? And still more, how could it exist in the intelligible order? Unless we should call it deprivation in the higher sense, as that which is beyond form is not form (I 18) and what transcends Being is not being, and that which is truly unknowable through its transcending all things is non-being. If, then, the One is the limit of the knowable among those things that are knowable or the objects of intuition, that which is beyond the One is primarily and completely unknowable, because it is unknowable without even having the unknowable as its nature, and without our approaching it as unknowable, since we do not even know if it is unknowable. There is complete ignorance surrounding it, and we know that neither as unknowable or knowable. Consequently we suffer reversal by means of every method, because we have no contact with it whatsoever, inasmuch as it is not a real
Being, or rather, it is not even this, namely, nothing. Therefore it is that which is in no way whatsoever or beyond this, if this turns out to be the denial of Being, and is beyond the One, and in that sense nothing. But this “nothing” is void and is the abandonment of all things, whereas this is not our conception of the Ineffable. >{this would possibly be in opposition to Nagarjuna >>16391022}
Our reply is that “nothing” has two meanings: one is transcendent; the other is on “this side.” In fact the [word] “one” also has two meanings, as lower limit, in the material realm and as the first, or what is before Being. Therefore “not being” also [has two meanings], as not even the one as lower limit, and as not even the first. In a similar way the unknowable and the Ineffable have two meanings, as that which is not even at the lower limit of conception, and that which is not even the first.
Then is it in relation to us that we claim that it is unknowable?
Surely it would not be a paradox if it were permitted to say (I 19) that it is unknowable even to the much-honored intellect.31 For every intellect looks to the intelligible world, and the intelligible order is either form or Being. But perhaps it is divine cognition that knows it and it is knowable by this form of unified and super-essential cognition? But this cognition applies itself to the One, whereas that other is beyond the One. In general, if that were known along with all other things, then it would itself be among all things, for being-capable-of being-known would then be common to it and to the others, and so it would belong to the same order at least in this respect. Further, if it is capable of being known, divine knowledge will be able to circumscribe it. And therefore [knowledge] will delimit [the absolute]. But every definition ascends to its limit, which is the One; and that is beyond the One.

These posts were made identically some days ago with OP at the time using a different image of a prepubescent girl instead of a young woman. Anons searching found links to Russian CP and possible trafficking. This thread is highly suspicious.
