    Thats tantamount to saying non-existence is a "type of existence".
    Or "nothing" is still a "something".

    Why do people have to add their own fillings into their mental conceptions?

    "It" does not possess any attributes. It is attributeless. The word is merely used to identify It(Nirguna Brahman).

    The word is a symbol. It is a representation. It facilitates grasping. It gives your brain something to focus upon. It is food that your brain consumes and processes as information through interpretation.

    So that the word can enter into your mind by becoming converted into a thought. How much meaning you can acquire from this thought, whether you understand it correctly or not depends upon your intellect. Intellect extracts the understanding. Understanding immerses a specific concept into your head. Does not now mean that Nirguna Brahman is imprisoned within your cranium.

    There can only be One Thing that is attributeless. Why? Because anything having any attribute automatically discounts it because it possesses a difference which makes it characteristic, making it distinguishable and discounts it from being considered to be attributeless.

    To answer this, one needs to define an attribute. What is your definition?
