- Huang-po on true self -
“Men are afraid to forget their minds, fearing to fall through the Void with nothing to stay their fall. They do not know that the Void is not really Void, but the realm of the real dharma.”

It is not the void that undoes us but our fear of it. The void is life, if we can allow awareness within it.

Where do our minds come from?

Good question, but I don’t really know how to answer that. What’s before our minds, that they can come from?

Not Wo, but Wuji.

Why not Wo and Wuji at once?
Though as an answer to the question, you’re right on, as least as I understand it… :)
