That's an assumption, not a proof.
Quote:Everything outside of my "Self" is the "Emptiness".
Part of that which is outside yourself is that which your consciousness is not prepared to perceive. Just because you are not perceiving something does not mean that it is empty.
Quote:Sacred Fool, I cannot perceive your Emptiness because I have not created it, and it is of your own creation within your Mind. Therefore, from my existence, you then become part of the illusion, and that follows for everything else, (created and the uncreated). This is when it must become Transcendental and we are meeting on a Common Ground. Spirituality is somewhere within that place of Transcendentalism. The "Great Mystery", and the Great Mystery continues.
I'll re-post this quote because it gives a more explicit explanation of what "becoming Transcendental
and meeting on Common Ground" means. It discusses a progression of exploration in consciousness where enlightenment & emptiness are not the goals.

It contains what you know as feelings, emotions, and intellectual thoughts in its more conscious complexities. Moving further down the tree of mind we see the intuition which is of the nature of the mind more in contact or in tune with the total beingness complex. Moving down to the roots of mind we find the progression of consciousness which gradually turns from the personal to the racial memory, to the cosmic influxes, and thus becomes a direct contactor of that shuttle which we call the spirit complex.
We are complex creatures and the Mind even more complicated. The biggest problem is, the Mind cannot analyze the Mind. Everything is only assumption and speculation. Although I agree with the quote. I am, (therefore I am), I am also Universal Mind, and it is rarely considered on the Gross Intellectual Level. Even Intuitive Mind is limited because it still remains in Self-Consciousness and the "I-ness". We must learn to expand our Consciousness on the "Grand Universal Scale", and not remain trapped in our feeble and limited worldview, (our created worlds).
