Emptiness is the key, because emptiness is the sphere which is denied.
Form is easily recognised and there is experience with manipulating form, but there is a disconnection and lack of experience of the sphere of emptiness. This disconnection can be overcome through meditation practices that introduce the experience of emptiness, either through analysis or examination.
Emptiness can also be discovered through both happy and sad life experiences. The sphere of emptiness can become available through devoted relationship with a teacher.
Emptiness is protection from delusion, because it corrects the relationship with form. It reunites that which delusion attempts to split. Emptiness makes it possible to awaken to the realisation of the nonduality of emptiness and form. Then the indivisibility of emptiness, energy, and form can be realised.
