Are there any accounts of "emptiness", preferably purely phenomenological/methodological, that don't presume a contentious metaphysics?

I want to find this starting point, and I think I know at least some of the phenomenology that is going on there, but the explanations also get wrapped up in metaphysics that I can't accept because they imply a rejection, not enrichment, of the ordinary everyday

Yes. Good. This is precisely the distinction between Sutrayana and Vajrayana.https://vividness.live/2013/10/24/sutra-tantra-and-the-modern-worldview/ …

It’s natural for thoughts to occur; prolonged states of non-thought require difficult practice to produce artificially. There’s value in that, in seeing what awareness is like without thought, but it’s not where you’d want to stop.

There’s nothing bad about thinking (quite the opposite). The Semdé meditation system aims to first clarify and then transform the experiential nature of thought. The still awareness-within-which thought arises becomes apparent initially only when noisy thought *doesn’t* arise.
