The mind needs psychic objects in order for it to exist and we in order to be able to pay attention to them when they are illuminated by consciousness. Between each psychic object, thought or emotion we perceive and pay attention to, an increasingly longer pause arises between them during our observation as long as we do not immerse ourselves in them. This is the gap we call nothingness, in which everything has its temporary origin and in which our experiences are created when they meet each other. The same applies in physics. The longer and deeper we look into each object and observe its processes, the greater the gap becomes. We begin to search for the dark matter which is the emptiness that is the unifying and original whole of all things. It is beyond this that we are met by the gap between everything that is constantly arising and disappearing, in and around us, everywhere.
