I’ll attempt to break down my logic, without claiming it as truth.
Let’s substitute ‘divine’ with ‘first mover,’ a term often used to describe the original originator. This suggests that there was once nothing, then something, implying the divine exists beyond all things and non-things.
Assume the cosmos includes everything we can perceive or imagine. If it exists, it’s part of the cosmos. The void, then, is everything that isn’t the cosmos—all the non-cosmos.
This simplifies the cosmos and void as a way to describe all beings and non-beings.
The aphorism can be interpreted in three ways:
If there is divinity, it lies beyond us in the unexplorable void.
If there is no divinity, it remains beyond us as we cannot explore the void.
We can never know if divinity exists beyond the void or cosmos.
