In the conditioned part of the mind we find the observer, the self-proclaimed navigator, analyst and performer of consciosness as appearence. But behind them is the content of our raw, unfiltered sources of our experiences, our balance of mind, the equanimity and the attention we pay to this content. Consciousness is appearence and the ongoing progession of the observer’s relationship to that content. The emptiness or space behind it, is the whole that contains the states whose energy encompasses the sources that form our original mental processes which also constitute the undercurrents of consciousness we perceive as the common and original meditative ground within us in a self-reflective life. It is often called the true or authentic reality. A reality we do not reach with our external senses. But something we are more or less engaged with and trained in by our self-reflective practice and contemplation throughout our lives. Before we know better, we believe that we are what emerges in our stream of consciousness if we personify it. Every impulse, every impression and thought, as if we are what they are. We attach ourselves to its content and conceptualize what arises in it as if what we perceive there and separate out from it is our person. Even though it is just a separate set of mental processes and the content of our experiences that we identify with, that is, something arbitrary in the constant translation of what it is that currently fills our consciousness with its content. Emptiness is not an empty void. It is the psychic realm where our outer senses cannot function because there is no object. No appearance. It is raw and unfiltered experience that charge us with psychic energy. A collection of impressions and processes that are constantly changing and that lead us towards our inner elucidation. Something that is going on within all of us. In all of life. Aside from our conditioned personalistic psychology around our family figures and their internal structures that we transfer onto our surroundings, we are all related to each other in an underlying sense of a self-exploring life.
