"In essence, because all phenomena are interconnected, phenomena have no reality in and of themselves, thus they are said to be 'empty of intrinsic existence.' It is because of this interdependent, empty nature of phenomena that transformation and awakening are possible. Because our perceptions-thoughts, feelings, emotions, appearances— are expressions of the deep conditioning of our own mind, they are interdependent, arising due to causes and conditions, and because of that, our conditioned perceptions can be changed. This points to a malleability of existence and our perceptions- a cocreation of our reality." - Chandra Easton
