Okay. So I had a feeling there's Transduality thing somewhere, and after I did a bit of digging. I found it. This is Arceus dialogue in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.
Translation
English version
The Nothingness here refers to Primordial Chaos, the Undifferentiated state of the Universe where everything intermingled and the same. Where distinctions didn't exist inside the Spirit/Heart/Mind
Primordial Chaos itself Is NonDual NEP 2 as it is the Undifferentiated Nothing that precedes the concept of nonexistence that Giratina embodies. Those familiar with the Concept of Wuji or Hundum
In dictionaries it's stated that "Kokoro"(心) refers to "the source of human mental activity", "the action of the very human psyche", "the totality of knowledge, emotions and intention".
So we can understand that the Original Spirit is the Primordial Consciousness/Mind that is the source of all that exists. You'd see Heart/Mind/Spirit being used interchangeably. They're the same
The Spirit/Heart itself is beyond Space and Time, and Arceus is a manifestation of that Consciousness. And thereby the entire universe, as the multiverse is literally the extension of Arceus. Dialga and Palkia are spects of Arceus who embody the physical Existence of the Multiverse while The LT embody the Spirit

Which does fit the Original Spirit because he's not even inside the duality of the multiverse, as he's beyond it, so he's not 1, nor 0, nor is he both. He's also not neither true nor false, as that is what the Primordial Chaos is, which is inside the Mind that it is.
Cosmology in a nutshell
Soy Arceus, un ser nacido de la nada.Todos no somos nada y somos algo al mismotiempo: todo se rige por una cierta dualidad.
Translation
I am Arceus, a being born out of nothing, we are all nothing and something at the same time: everything is governed by a certain duality.
Translationわたしは アルセウス。無むの中なかの有ゆう。わたしたちも 宇宙うちゅうも 有ゆうであり無む……すべては 表裏一体ひょうりいったいなのです。
I sent it to a translator. For the last partI am Arceus. There is something inside nothingness. We and the universe are both existential and nonexistent... everything is two sides of the same coin.
So first things first, someone tried to explain the spelling, but the formatting makes it look like part of the sentence, which is why it's nonsense.
表裏一体=ひょうりいったい
So the actual sentence is すべては表裏一体なのです, or 'everything has a front and a back'
I'm using 'front and back' as a substitute for 表裏, since it doesn't translate perfectly, but the idea being conveyed by 表裏一体 is that everything has a front/face which is what's shown to other people (the surface level), and a back/rear/tail that is the hidden reality of the thing (that which is under the surface), and these two factors are both necessary and cannot be separated from one another. They are both elements of the whole, and without one, you do not have the whole
English version
I am Arceus. I am the existence within nothingness.
We and our universe are both nothing and something…
Everything has two sides.
The Nothingness here refers to Primordial Chaos, the Undifferentiated state of the Universe where everything intermingled and the same. Where distinctions didn't exist inside the Spirit/Heart/Mind
Yes - I think of myself as thinking that the beginning of the world is the moment when the heart buds.
Yes! In the spirit, space and time were blended together, and Pokémon and people are one and the same...
Primordial Chaos itself Is NonDual NEP 2 as it is the Undifferentiated Nothing that precedes the concept of nonexistence that Giratina embodies. Those familiar with the Concept of Wuji or Hundum
The Multiverse at the highest level, deals with duality as well, where the multiverse as a whole is in a Duality of existence(Pokémon Reality) and its Opposite/Nonexistence(Distortion World)In Chinese cosmology there was originally hun-tun, an undifferentiated luminous cloud, a void with no boundary, emptiness, a potential state. The hun-tun is sometimes considered a state of chaos in that is undivided, whole, a state where everything is mixed together. This potential, undifferentiated primordial state is also called Wu Ji. Wu Ji means literally “no limit” or “no polarity.” It is the “One,”

If that's the case, can the Pokemon that created the world be thought of as a manifestation of their heart?! Uh-huh... When the spirit sprouted, the world was created... When the spirit grew up, space, time were born...
