[MD] What's Emptiness?

[MarshaV]

Greetings,  

My translation of Lila's soliloquy in Chapter 14 is 
that reality is what you think it to be.  Here's another
way of saying exactly what I mean.  

"our belief and attention are the same fact.  For the moment, what we attend to is reality . . ."  
      (James, Williams, 'The Principles of Psychology')
