Entering the void: A regionless region
Part II
The darkness is the silence.
The silence is the void, is nothingness, is the apparent lack of all there is.
It is in this blackness, the nothing within which one must step if one is to find their true self, their true essence.
The concept of stepping into the emptiness, the nothingness is where fear becomes a factor.
Many have stepped into the void only to find themselves overpowered by anxiety and panic, never to return.
But return one must if one is to understand themselves, if one is to learn to be comfortable with themselves, if one is to learn to master both worlds – world one and world two, if one is to learn to be the master of one’s self in both the physical and the spiritual, if one is to learn to act based upon free will as opposed to being a machine, if one is to learn to become an obedient servant as opposed to being a confused slave.
Stepping into the silence must take place with confidence if one is to find one’s true self.
Stepping into a silence immersed in fear, anticipation, expectation ... is stepping into a silence permeated by fear, anxiety and apprehension and as such one is stepping into a state which is not one of pure nothingness but rather such a state is itself permeated with human emotion. Any form of emotion, physical desire and/or thinking accompanying one into the silence contaminates the silence itself.
The effort to step into the silence must be done effortlessly and in a pure state of stepping beyond all emotions, physical desires and/or thinking.
What is so important about the circle analogy? Through an expansion of the circle itself, thickening of the round line separating the inside from the outside of the circle, the circle better represents what it appears to be, namely: the void, nothingness, silence.
When expanding the width or the circle, the circle itself did not, in fact, become wider, nor did it become larger for a void is a void and regardless of how large one makes the representation of the void, the void has no dimension, has no size, and occupies no space.
Then why bother expanding, thickening the circle. Why bother expanding the ‘size’ of the circle itself if the circle is nothing?
We take the time to thicken the circle in order to better understand ‘where’ it is we go when we step into the silence, to better understand ‘how’ to step into the nothingness.
We thicken the circle because we need to understand there is no ‘location’ no ‘time’, no ‘space’ within the void for the void is just that: The void of all that exists.
The void is not ‘a reality’. The void is the lack of reality/realities. It is only when one stands within the void that one can find one’s true essence for reality two/the spiritual obfuscates one’s true essence, one’s true self just as reality one/physical existence obfuscates one’s true essence.
We shall examine reality two and its impact upon knowing, its impact upon one’s true self later but for now let’s step into the silence, let’s step into the void, let’s leave regions 1, 2 and 3 behind and examine the void, the ‘location where it is one can find oneself.
