> Come now, I will tell you ... the only routes of inquiry that are for thinking: the one, that it is and that it is not possible for it not to be, is the path of Persuasion (for it attends upon Truth), the other, that it is not and that it is right that it not be, this indeed I declare to you to be a path entirely unable to be investigated: For neither can you know what is not (for it is not to be accomplished) nor can you declare it.

For the same thing is for thinking and for being. [3=B3]

There are two ways to truth:
1. Path of Persuasion (Truth)
2. Path of The Unknown (Impossible to be investigated)
1 exists as it is not possible for 1 to not exist
2 does not exist and it is true that 2 does not exist, as neither can you know what does not exist (as it is not supposed to exist) nor can you specify what does not exist
Same principle applies for conceiving something and for existence
It is true to say and to think that existence exists, for it can exist, but nonexistence can never exist

It is true to say and to think that existence exists, for it can exist, but nonexistence can never exist
But this is not true, for science and sometimes mysticism are known to make what is unknown become the known
The destination of the Path of The Unknown cannot be planned in advance, nor it is possible to plot, but the destination is reachable in principle, as what used to be part of the unknown, with understanding, becomes part of the known
