Opposites and complements are illusions that the mind creates. They're matters of perception.

I would agree with that perception.

Ah. Right. The Nothing-That-is-Everything experience is kind of outside the material world/universe. Sort of. Hard to explain as noted. "Outside" isn't really a good word, but I can't think of another. Beyond could work, or maybe "without and within" would be a phrase that works, but it's really something you have to experience for yourself, I think. I can try to describe it, but it would be like me trying to describe you to a colour you've never seen.

I hope I'm not being too confusing. I think we're talking about slightly different things is all.
