Nothing (empty unoccupied space) and something, matter (occupied space) is not duality/separate from each other because nothing (empty unoccupied space) is/created that something/occupied space/matter and the something/matter/occupied space is that nothing, inside itself.
Nothing/unoccupied space is the concept of non-duality and something/matter/occupied space is the concept of duality. Nothing/unoccupied space is both duality and non-duality.
You are able to see/ be aware of and focus on Nothing (empty unoccupied space) and something, matter (occupied space) outside of yourself in your normal day to day life, thus nothing/something is not a mental concept, or idea. The nothing/something which you see with your eyes in your daily life is concrete/objective. You can not see the mental concept/idea of non-duality outside of yourself with your own 2 eyes without the mental concept/idea of duality.
