The masculine/feminine structure is a
process of form which is a holographical and fractallic motif on the duality gestalt itself. I see the form/emptiness dichotomy motifed three-fold in states: gross/subtle, causal(including its two
sides)/witness, and dual(all the states)/nondual.
The previous two definitions are particularly different from the meaning of Emptiness from
eastern meditative traditions such as Vajrayana Buddhism. Among other terms, the term sunyata
describes a very specific idea as the innate purposelessness of the form/emptiness duality
altogether. Here the word is used not to mean volume in relation to form or as a descriptive
characteristic of states but as volume in relation to meaning. Specifically, it means that because
of duality’s lack of ontological truth, the meaning of blind identification with the dualistic world
is nil. According to the traditions, this is the perspective gained upon an identification with the
nondual, but duality must be integrated eventually as one continues living in the dualistic
manifestation. The awakening to this definition is the potential insight catalyzed at the crossroads
of the other two definitions concerning duality and states. These clarifications about the use of
the word emptiness, the distinction between the sequence and structure of states, and their
correlation resulting in an alternative structure were paramount to my research.
“Kronos forms the awakened counterpole to the static, secluded darkness; as such this is
none other than the motion of the night.” (Gebser, 1986, p.172)
“‘Soft countries,’ [King Cyrus] said, ‘breed soft men. It is not the property of any one soil
to produce fine fruits and good soldiers too’…The difference between firm bodies and soft bodies
was the difference between rulers and slaves.” (Shigehisa, 2006, p. 141)
“Freud made the mistake of treating consciousness as if it were a thing rather than an
event, of making it a noun instead of a verb…Consciousness takes the form of its
container.” (Combs, 2002, p. 227)

Concerning women,
“When we talk about ourselves, we do not talk about ourselves, we always talk about others and these
others seem to be the cause of our unhappiness or our happiness without appearing in this discourse
our own personal responsibility in our doings and in the construction of our daily lives. In contrast,
men seem worried mainly about the achievements, goals, and obstacles they find in their way.” (Sordo,
2006, pp. 12-13)
“Isn’t it enough to simply celebrate the rich diversity of various views and not try to integrate them?
Well, recognizing diversity is certainly a noble endeavor, and I heartily support that pluralism. But if
we remain merely at the stage of celebrating diversity, we ultimately are promoting fragmentation,
alienation, separation, and despair. You go your way, I go my way, we both fly apart-” (Wilber, 2001,
p. 112)
