yes. the object of buddhism is in a sense to become an object. to become still as a stone and cultivate an emptiness of mind. then you hit the phase of terror when you meet the total void inside everything. i've been there and met a friend who went down the buddhist path and was stuck in this phase. he was ranting about episodes of south park that didnt exist, telling me some crappy youtube video was the best song in the world. i didnt laugh, but i smiled knowingly, since i too was once at that phase of panic at the nothingness inherent in everything. eventually you realize how emptiness and form are the same thing, and it becomes more clear again.
