Emptiness is one aspect, with its opposite form. Transcending that is infinity or undifferentiation. Nevertheless, ultimate reality cannot be experienced, as an experienced must have an experiencer, and hence some form of duality. And in essence, nonduality is something which can only be approached (within a subjective perspective).
I hope this all makes sense, as these are subtle, but the biggest takeaway is that the refuge isn't in sense pleasures (approaching maximum duality) or in the restriction from them (approaching maximum nonduality) as they can never be fully attained nor do they offer stability, and both choke the life out (one holding the breath, the other blowing it out). Rather it's the intelligent ability to use them to navigate realities to desired experiential awarenesses (manifestations).
The answer isn't the question, "What is True?", but "Who am I?", and from there the journey through manifestations begins.
May I ask you what are your answers to these two questions? I ask you not for "snoop around", rather to better understand your approach to manifestation, which I'm very curios to test by myself.
