There are very many tokens that what is is uncreated and indestructible; for it is complete, immovable, and without end. Nor was it ever, nor will it be; for it is now, all at once, a continuous one.... I shall not let you say or think that it came from what is not; for it can neither be thought nor uttered that anything is not" (i.e., reality can neither be created from nor destroyed into nothingness, since nothingness is nonexistent; and if reality is both uncreated and indestructible, that is the same as saying it is eternal). (2) "Nor is it divisible..., for what is is in contact with what is. (i.e., reality is a plenum, absolutely full space; if it were divisible, it would contain interstices of nothingness, which is inconceivable). (3) “Moreover, it is immovable…. It is the same, and it rests in the selfsame place, abiding in itself” (i.e., motion and its correlative, change, are both ruled out; if a thing changes, something that is passes into nonexistence, and something that is not comes into being from nonexistence, both of which are impossible). And (4) “since…it has a furthest limit, it is complete on every side, like the mass of a rounded sphere, equally poised from the center in every direction…for the point from which it is equal in every direction tends equally to the limits.
