Lots of discussion about what's going on, but....

Heuristic

The Force is Strong With This One
Maintain the state of undistractedness, and distractions will fly away. Dwell alone, and you shall find the Friend. Take the lowest place, and you shall reach the highest. Hasten slowly, and you shall soon arrive. Renounce all worldly goals, and you shall reach the highest Goal. If you follow this unfrequented path, you will find the shortest way. If you realize Sunyata (the absolute Emptiness), compassion will arise within your hearts; and when you lose all differentiation between yourself and others, then you will be fit to serve others. ~ Tibetan Yogi Jetsun Milarepa (c. 1052-c. 1135 CE)
 
About discussion there's something interesting in the Gurdjieff's cosmology to take a
better "catch" on the "realization" of Sunyata as you Heuristic translated in the absolute Emptiness,
which can be definited by "interdependence", which can be in turn into this forum mean networking:
In the Gurdjieff cosmology, before the creation of the universe, there existed a primordial state of things that he called "The Absolute" or "Endlessness" where All was One and One was All. The Absolute was completely independent. There was only one Law in the Absolute, that is, the Absolute was a law unto itself. It depended on nothing external to itself and was completely self sufficient.

And about the word discussion on itself it can be worth to take in account its etymology:
From latin discussio ( "shake", "shock" (Figuratively) "careful consideration") of discutere ( "to shatter", "to break", to "smash" (Figuratively) "to dispel") of dis-et cudere ( "flailing"). The evolution of the meaning may be given by discussor ( "he who scan" from which "tax inspector" and finally "the one who talks").

Heuristic, could you add your own thoughts to this quote or at least explain in what context you brought it up? And please use "quote" function of the forum for quoted passages. Thanks. :)
