i think that emptiness and physical material are indistinguishable because matter takes form according to the form of emptiness, and vice versa. you can't say what shapes what because the form is itself a definition; a force of presence that teases its reality into being as much as it scatters the rest of reality away. i see it a lot like how a sculptor chips away at a hunk of rock. the form of his artwork depends both on what is there and what is not there. conscious realization or perception culls out of the same eternal, stable, onmipresent ether all the possible states the ether is capable of. the more sharply focused our consciousness is, the more discreet and orderly the manifestation appears (as with the double slit experiment; the particle is a wave until we look at it, at which time it locks onto a discrete state). is that non-dual or do i miss the mark?
