Emptiness is counterintuitive. What is really meant is 'quite empty'. Consider space. Scientists say that it is filled with hydrogen and gases, or radioactive wavelengths, 'or something'. -It must be filled with rays from all the suns, all over. Because those rays reach us, because we see the stars at night. Søren mentioned that there cannot be something that doesn't exist(as I recall it). This makes sense. The world isn't a 0. There are no zeroes. But most of the universe is 'quite empty'. That is something to consider if you haven't. Because if so much is quite empty that may reasonably be of importance. Tao te Ching mentions emptiness. Good stuff! The universe is full of whatever stuff it's full of. Space is not an emptiness but quite formless. It's good to understand that this formlessness makes up most of existence. Sometimes it happens that there is something embodied, but that is not the rule, but the exception. The person could be like this. Edited by Oscar, Dec 3 2016, 04:11 AM.

Emptiness, as referred-to in taoteching, is the removal of all brain-manufactured artifacts, as a prelude to perceiving what is there without the mental noise. As you say, there is always something. Whether or not you can become aware of it, well that's the secret. |
