How do you know that the One, the ur-stuff, is ineffable/unknowable? If
your being, for example, was the ur-stuff (I assume you mean akin to
urelements in set theory), then it is "effable" and knowable.

You have written about it, and at least two of its properties, and so it
is not completely ineffable, yes?
So I think it is "effable" even if it is exceedingly difficult to
describe fully. What I'm having trouble believing is that it is unknowable.

Cheers
Brian
