This may well be out of context but here is a beautiful thought. There is nothing to the vibration of a guitar string other than the string itself, ultimately there is nothing to experience () other than the void that vibrates.
He quotes Adyashanti who called this vibrating void; 'emptiness dancing'.

That's pretty much exactly what I mean with my phrase; "Reality-being-Itself". The most fundamental 'going on' that there is.

'Something else' can only EVER be an apparently discernable feature of Reality-being-Itself. There isn't actually anything else.

Yes I see what you are getting at. IT is just as much no thing as it is some thing - that’s pretty self-evident as it’s a tautology. But IT is never not something/something-ness (and by this I mean IT presents, IT ‘occurs’, IT IS.) IT is never nothing - IT is never NOT (and if it were it could never be known as such.) IT is synonymous with (and these words are merely placeholders) Reality/Oneness/the Everything (your capital E to denote an absolute sense of the word) which presents as ALL that is - void of inherent existence. The addition of an absolute Nothing (again, your capitalisation) is (for me) a duality too far.

Again, I think our differences are mainly linguistic/semantic - perhaps it’s the capitalisations.
