seeking ... finding

Notions regarding seeking and finding (some form of) Absolute Ultimate Essence of Reality:

. Materialists : oppose the notion of there being a findable Such

. Abrahamic tradition (from pre-Israelite to the Baha'i) in general : contingent on a transcendent, absolute level of Ultimate Being
. Pythagoras : numbers
. Heraclitus : reification of process
. Plotinus : Mind
. Jewish Qabala : super-attenuated divine light
. Zenoo, Pyrrho : existent yet inconceivable

. Taoists : utterly ineffable
. Advaita Vedanta : beyond existence itself
. Rg-veda X.129 : in the beginning was neither existence nor non-existence ... neither death nor immortality
. Tao te Ching chapter II : being and non-being create each other
