The experience of having an ”empty inner sense of wholeness”, is what I once encountered following the loss of beingness to the containment of it in the collective consciousness when I was growing up. But it was also about having to suffer the loss of a traditional container for it as a psychic, inner experience at the time of separation. Because as long as one is contained in a functioning container, what we experience will be occupied by the particular images it produces, a belief or idea, or rational concept of ideological commitment. Whatever it is that will make us feel good about ourselves, and give us a kind of immunity to the reality of being human. But if our inner sense of totality is ”empty”, it exposes us to the direct experience of being, and to the autonomous psyche without the benefit of the buffering effect of a tradition, or the one sided rationale of structural belief that prevails in the western world. This is an extremely painful and terrifying experience of the loss of wholeness, and an absence which is then only assimilated again by listening to the emergence of a something that comes from behind the immense intensity of our suffering. But at the same time this empty center act as an opening, a window that will also open us up to our own reality and to the origin of all life. To the spontaneous insights of our greater personality. If that center is filled up with more comfortable state of affairs, ideological or whatever, it is not that window anymore. I see this empty center everywhere in people and the world around me as people habitually try to transmit the fear they experience of a direct confrontation with their own inner existence through external means and through other people. Which means that they constantly have to recreate themselves through an opponent who is either opposed to the content they want to fill their being with, or merge with it in order to try to create relationships that give them acceptance and justification in life for the emptiness they otherwise experience. Much of what is behind what is destroying our world can be found in this. The ”world” reflects back our loss of this wholeness by our function of evil.
