If this is the emptiness and seems full, why do you call it emptiness? Empty of what?

Full of appearance.

Empty of meaning, purpose and value.

Empty of a real lasting experiencer. 

The conditioned illusion of self, doesn't like the way this sounds. It's biggest problem is death. It wants to avoid death at all costs, but its already not alive (cosmic joke)

Empty = bad

Full = good

Everything = good

Nothing = bad

Real me = good

Unreal me = bad

It can't fathom its own unreality. It avoids seeing it clearly at all costs.

It depends of what is meaning for you. The only meaning of existence is existing, but it's an absolute meaning

What is alive is existence because it's existing, then it can't end, the self is just a construction that the perception or duality makes but without self reality still is, and you are that

A glass can be full of water but without the emptiness inside it can't hold anything.

If the emptiness is full of anything, call you appearance or anything, it's always full because if anything appears it's because everything is

Why would that be so-called absolute meaning. Reality doesn't require a label.

See what happens is a self illusion overlays meaning and purpose overtop of reality and then functions from that perspective. That's called the Matrix or dream story!

Every last bit of what you described as meaning, is just your conditioned humanly opinion.....nothing more!

Its not an absolute meaning in any way at all.....its your spiritually biased personal opinion. Period!!

 Is what happens 

What is alive is existence because it's existing, then it can't end, the self is just a construction that the perception or duality makes but without self reality still is, and you are that

It's already not happening. Illusions do not end because they never began in first place.

Your not anything because there isn't a you!

Sure reality may seem to exist without a real spectator....but think about that....If there's no real witness, who would declare it as real or still being!

Surrendering is easy while you are alone, however it is the most difficult when you are in life and while around people. Therefore, meditating while you argue with people, hearing your boss while he/she yelling at you etc... 

 

I think is because when one argues with people one gets entangled in the conversation, trying to win/not lose the argument, therefore Enlightment is not the case in that moment. 

Due to identity to thought probably

Full would imply that it's finite though?

It's exactly the same than saying that it has not meaning, what is meaning? Just an idea that appears in the mind.

Reality is, and that's it. What more is needed? Call it illusion is another label that the human mind creates

The witness only exist when there is an object to perceive, then you could say that the perceiver is just an appearance, but anyway, reality is. If reality is, you are that. Not you and a person, you as the only thing that is, the being. Or maybe you can deny that being is?

I don't go around the world saying I'm not human and I interact as such, it's for the purpose of this post why I'm saying so. There really are no humans and there's no difference between anything. It's all appearances. I appear as a human but that's just a word and a concept. It's all words and concepts. What's real is just what's appearing. We're making sense of it through meaning. 

The concepts are something that we use to talk, not something that we believe like if you are thinking all time: I'm a human, I'm a human, I'm a human, without pause. You just perceive the reality, but still there are barriers, even you are totally empty of words.

Silence is not the end, is the begining. The perception of what you are is much deeper than realizing that you are not something conceptual
