Is the gap between thoughts the 'interstitial'? Is the 'interstitial' the same as the Buddhist concept of emptiness? Do systems of training and practice exist to expand access to the 'interstitial'? Is hanging out for long periods in the 'interstitial' akin to tearing away the wallpaper of egoic ideation to reveal only the void?

If the answer to all of these is Yes, then what to when falling through the Gap into the Void?

Many years ago on a ferry ride across San Francisco Bay between work and home I looked out over the sparkles of light on the water and imagined what it would be like to give each little wave a name and therefore an identity, before naming and identifying each wave's underlying wavelets, ad infinitum. With the inevitable gap in consciousness that followed I reaffirmed my appreciation for the Buddhist notion of emptiness.
