I think the relative truths and ultimate truths not existing without the other is a good metaphor for the whole middle way of seeing things, which is what I find cool about it being a wave and particle. Just seems fitting.

Emptiness is like saying everything is equally, completely full on the other end of that thought spectrum and that all leans to a place of infinite potentials and possibilities. So my ears perked up yesterday as well when they were talking about the particles being 99.9999999% empty as well.
I don't know if there is an overlap in the precise meaning of emptiness respectively, but if nothing else if was engaging to hear a homophone in ideas.

What do you make of the quote talking about not monism and not dualism, but non-dualism?

More priddle praddle,
Sage
