right Sage, i really like the phrase "full of emptiness." from the little i've been exposed to it, i clearly see the logic buddhists use to posit a "beginning" of existence in emptiness. i don't think it even has to be dual and depend on a balanced dichotomy of differentiation. the idea of nothingness is its own complete idea, as the idea of being is its own complete idea. they are both "full." there is no relating the one to the other. now, emptiness on the other hand is a concept that is born of subjective relating. . . which is to say it is included in beingness rather than nothingness. emptiness is a medium. nothingness is just. . . nothing!
anyway, because emptiness can be seen as the medium through which existence manifests i'm beginning to regard it like that everything Ziplock starts from. emptiness is the darkness in his field metaphor, and consciousness is the light. emptiness is imprinted with the certainty of consciousness, and it responds obligingly to reveal discreet existence.
