The comparison between the nothingness of the ultimate Basho and the indifferentiation of what you might call "materia" or "pure potentiality" is dealt with in a very interesting essay by Rene Guenon called "The Two Nights" (found in Initiation and Spiritual Realization). Probably one of the most interesting essays in his whole corpus. Very relevant to what you've written here. He argues for an analogy of sorts between pure potentiality and non-being, but he refuses to strictly identify them with one another
More Buddhist articles would be awesome to see on your blog. Been reading lots of buddhist material recently & your articles on pure a/theism in Kojeve - plus this article - have been touchstones of a sort in connecting what I'm reading to my Christianity
