Sometime when we were still very young, and the original whole was still intact, we began to try to calibrate it against the experiences that arose when our senses encountered it through our sensations and they began to make our consciousness grow. But instead of our inner parental pair, whom we identified with our biological parents, also having to maintain the original relationship to the cyclical process where the inner absolute form of a spontaneous clarity beyond nothingness, which is alternately condensed into matter and then purified by its content being dissolved by our insight that we convey back to its source, in the wholeness to which they are then an external relation, they reject it, and distort it by pushing away the content it conveys, and which we early in our lives learn to adapt to. To their fears and ignorence of this content, and the difficulties that arise in their relationship to it, through the narcissism and mental indifference that then emerge in both them and us when we do not understand our own relationship to the original nothingness and its relationship to consciousness. This is what we encounter constantly within ourselves as the absolute ground of our human condition. It creates a great deal of turmoil in our minds as we try to translate it into our own experiences and dissolve them with the clarity that arises in our own encounter with this emptiness, and the conditions it creates in our being. Most commonly by constantly repeating how we have once calibrated it. It is also here that we encounter genuine compassion for the first time in its widest sense, and it overwhelms us. It reaches into our very depths, and as it dissolves into our self-observation, we see more and more of our stored experiences in relation to the emptiness, and they too, dissolve because the insight that brings this about transforms emptiness into a state of mental equilibrium. We begin to see that we stage everything we experience; every impulse and every impression is given a form, and their inherent energy conveys it to us through our sensations, which we then stage. Emptiness then becomes our stage, which we confuse with our physical reality, and which we then fill with the content of experience stored there through our encounters with what was already there, in our attempts to calibrate them against our physical reality. Nothingness in and of itself and being are transformed into the great original whole and into the absolute foundation within us that we first perceived—without any experiential content—when we were born into this life. This content will often arouse revulsion in us and deter us from facing it. But when we are ready to face it against the backdrop of the emptiness that always accompanies it, it will dissolve, transforming the experience that gave rise to our revulsion back into balance by illumination, spontaneous insight, and nothingness. I think this is best described as mental health at its core. No matter of occupation.
