00:30:00 Nihilism and non-duality are explored in this YouTube video with philosopher and writer Jared Morningstar. The main idea is that nihilism is a discovery, and that when we realize the absurdity of the world, we break free from ego centrism and experience the Participatory Knowing that underlies our existence. In terms of Shunyata, nihilism is the realization that emptiness is never a thing, but always within realization. This can be difficult to grasp, but it is necessary in order to break out of the cycle of suffering.
00:35:00 According to Shunyata, everything has a dual aspect, including being and non-being. Religion, or the event of Shunyata, is when we realize this duality and integrate it into ourselves and our world experience. Being is constituting the nothingness and the new hill ADIZ is constituting being. This field beneath both fields makes them able to be real for themselves through the other.

Morningstar also discusses Nicolas of Cuza, who defined God as the "intelligible sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere."
