RAF,
Yes, one can't help but be interested sometimes.
The emptiness that the zenjis among us and before us all return to is our
original condition. This is the face before we could recognize our parents.
It has a lot of potential, but there's little else that can be said for it.
It's like the Vacuum of Q. Mechanics. But it is also the canvas upon which we
are all painted, as if we were beings!
The true mind is an empty sky, and there's nothing doing. Everything else is
illusion.
So this void is just our nature, and is just the mind, the Buddha mind, or just
THIS!
Bill!, here, often points to THIS! You've got to hand it to him: He's a good
man with the finger.
The Double Helix too has a backbone of emptiness. Especially.
