Re: Musings on combat distance

Hi Erick,

Do you think that changes if you are attempting to express the subjective experience of emptiness? Do we experience the formal opening or the edges of emptiness once we are fully committed to depart or once we are fully departed? Or, doesn't "fully departed" mean the experience of the opening or the boundary is no longer possible? For me, I would answer all of these questions in such a way that it would be suggested that the subjective experience of emptiness, which is what I think George and I (and you) were once talking about, beyond quantifying shape. Sure, from an outsider, "objective" point of view, we can identify shape and boundaries, but from the inside, subjective point of view, I would still feel that math is missing something (by suggesting too much).

My thoughts,
