Is Emptiness a Relative Quality Like Peace, Joy and Love?

You’ve talked about peace as opposed to agitation, joy as opposed to sorrow, love as opposed to conflict. Another word commonly used is ‘emptiness’. Do you see the use of emptiness in the same way as these words? Rupert says: ‘The nature of the mind is only said to be empty with reference to its content. If you were to ask being, “What is your experience of yourself without referring to the content of experience?” being would never say, “I am empty”. If it were to say anything, it would say “I am full”, or “I am full of myself alone”. To say “I am fullness” is more accurate than to say “I am empty”.’
