No. It has no non-existence. Nor has it not a non-existence. Nor has it an existence, nor has it not an existence.

In the very moment you try to dress it in words then already springs to life what exists, and so it is no nothingness anymore.

In the beginning there was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made by him, and nothing was made without him.

Don't worry, I have not turned into a bible-swinger suddenly. I just like the poetry in this wording. It illustrates also the point I try to make: that the word already is enough to make any conception of "non-existence" or "nothingness" void, misleading, pointless, and unimaginable.
