Not non-existing = existing. At least one thing exists : existing.

Cogito ergo sum: I think therefore I exist. Let's dumb it down. Thinking therefore existing. No need for an "I". If there is thinking, thinking exists, thus there is existing. This goes with everything. I eat therefore I am , yellow hat, therefore existence. Ultimatly existing therefore existing, therefore existing, therefore... .


Thought experiment, Indra's web, version 2.0 :
Who exists? What is the "I"? I could be somebody's dream, or a program in The Matrix.  The Matrix could be another program within a bigger Matrix, ad infinitum. "I" living in the Matrix can go role playing and create a new character, for example a valiant knight. To me that knight is just an illusion, does not exist. But I have no guarantees it's not the other way around. Maybe I am a valiant knight. Maybe the "me" I think I am is just a means for the valiant knight to create a world in which he exists. So the Matrix in Matrix analogy could go up, down or in any direction. The Buddhist concept of Indra's web is that of an endless web, with perfectly shining juwels, each reflecting all the others. My 2.0 version of Indra's web is where each jewel is another infinite web on itself. That situation could be possible.

BUT non existence does not exist. Whatever hypothesis, one single materialistic universe that started at the big bang or an infinite web of infinite webs it is all based on the one simple truth, there is no non existence.
That What Exists, exists, the rest is speculation.

My true nature, underneath all concepts that are uncertain, is existence, is That What Exists. I am That.
