Nothingness (no-thing-ness) means that the pair of “opposites” are so vibrantly connected that they cannot be viewed from outside but must be experienced.
The use of the activity that joins each apparent duality is the energy of life.
The meaning of the natural process is to be found in this outgoing embrace between one and the other which when balanced and harmonious may be called a complete or whole communication.
The combat between each “opposite” has the flavour of a fight, and the quality of respect required by a fighter for his opponent is the kind of attitude required by each opposite.
Pulling back from any aspect of developing respect is tantamount to pulling away from life, and is the initial mistake of people who think that wisdom is the acquisition of knowledge.
Knowing the opponent requires joining to his spirit so that what stirs in him stirs in you equally, all the wishes of one being equally the wishes of the other so the word opponent becomes a convenience that enables the fight to begin again and again and again as the spiral continuously reconnects with its source.
In other words the beginning is continuous, the entering, the embracing, and the natural process all equally continuous and alive.
