« Assertions of Negation »

Heart sutra says: Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.

Here's the same idea, stated kabbalistically: Nothingness is being, being is nothingness.

And here's my own secular spin: Essence is form, form is essence.

These are but three ways of saying nothing; that is, nothing in particular about the whole of all that is.  To be exact, these are but three ways of saying nothing false.  These are but three misstatements of one and the same indescribable fact of existence.  Part-false approximations of the ineffable truth.  In short, assertions of negation.
