[MD] emptiness

Hi Andre,

As I wrote to you yesterday, both Dynamic Quality and Sunyata, are nondualistic and, therefore, tricky to discuss.  If it gives you importance to try to point out the tangle of intellectual relationships, three cheers for you.

The closest one gets is 'light' or 'freedom' or 'within which there is great working'. Read all the first person accounts of the saints and sages over the years, read Pirsig and you will not find anything on the content of Quality, Nothingness, Emptiness, Tao, Buddha mind, Big Self...not one thing...of course not. There is nothing to say about it.
