I think in Daoism and Mahayana Buddhism such a process as "negative space" exists. Negative space is merely the increased looping of states of mind associated with greed, hatred, and delusion (three poisons). It obscures tacit apprehension of one's luminous mind and how it is inseparable from the flow of reality (aka "bright pearl").
For example, I believe many drugs and magick enhance the looping of narratives associated with three poisons, which I termed negative space. It isn't bad per se, but it is like painful false awakenings that obscures Buddha mind.
It is important to note the negative space is still immanent.
As Lay practitioners, it is necessary to stabilize negative space and alternate to and fro from it while still prioritizing the value of its occasional dissolution. This is because modern societal living requires some greed to survive.
