I'm speclating that "conditional 
reality" might alternately be 
interpreted as being full of 
conditionality while it might also be 
interpreted as "empty" in the sense 
that, aside from the various 
"conditions" 
(dualistic/interpretive/karmic aspects 
and appearances) there isn't anything 
there in "conditional reality" that's 
Intrinsicly Real or Permanent (though 
people in general might often tend to 
read "reality/permanence" into 
essentially conditional/mayavic things).
Apparently (I'm starting to suspect ...) 
people in general might have to 
"directly experience" some sort of 
"Realer" reality before they might come 
around to admitting that such a thing 
exists in contrast to the "emptiness" of 
"conditional reality."

Speculatively,
Mauri
