To accept nothingness is to accept being alone in one’s own kind. Not as easy as it sounds. To allow the abysmal, infinite and timeless darkness as an invisible potentiality and to unconditionally allow it. Everything else is the bondage of the senses and an eternal clinging to their fleeting and impermanent nature. And the various ways we use to escape the original emptiness, the continuous beginning of all that is. The very source of everything we can imagine about what we know and see. Without nothingness, we cannot imagine being. It has to come from somewhere. We imagine this something as a potentiality of energy, and of inspiration that arises in mental states whose content creates patterns of information out of nothing. Out of nothingness. When we are young, this potentiality creates stress and anxiety. Not from the experience of it, but from the fear created from the expectations that distract us from it by those who experience that stress. Something that we are tasked with taking care of for them early on by trying to fulfill these expectations and abandoning our original state of connection to it, and to the peace of mind its balance gives us within ourselves. It is the experience of the absolute foundation of our being, and from where we can perceive things as they are from the perspective of the mind. What we convey of ourselves we promote in others and conversely what others convey of themselves they promote in us. If we do not have the perspective of nothingness that makes us observe our mind, our world will only be what is promoted by others or by what we promote in them. We absorb into ourselves what we want to be in others. It is not out of insensitivity that we let others own the emotions and reactions that arise in them independently of us. It is attending to our mental balance and maturity to let others be what arises in them with the insight that we ourselves also encounter in what arises in us, independently of them. Both our own and others personal relation to the psychic realm depends on it.
