What is Emptiness?

[Tobiishi]

Gassho all, interesting thread...

It's interesting how hard we try to use words to describe things we admit are undescribable. Approximations, inferences, like shining a light around a dark room hoping to catch the shadow of a ghost. I appreciate all the effort, really, but at the end of the day there's no way to understand it logically, rationally. It's akin to an emotion, arising from within, without preamble. My own words are just as inadequate and silly to behold.

What are opposites but interdependence? There is no good without evil, sweet without sour, light without dark

I think you missed my inquiry a bit, perhaps easy to do when you're speaking from a place of authority

I thought we were saying the same thing! I did miss your inquiry in that case. I do apologize for sounding authoritative and I’ll try to do better.

Hey Bion, many times I've done the same; I should have qualified that in my comment. I too, will try to be better . I often 'get in the way' of things (things as they are).

Chat soon my friend,
