As we move beyond the experience of an equilibrium between the earth and its embodiment of the underlying flow of preconscious forms of energy and its instructions as a sense of a primordial whole, which together create a presence in consciousness, we realize that by reacting to someone else’s defenses and their compensatory relationship to their inner person and by taking them on as if they were our own, we transform the psychic obstacles of others into our own self-criticism. Here is where we also move into the experience of nothingness. As in a state of emotional expulsion or exorcism in the mind and in the consciousness of the origin of the self-criticism. Self-criticism then becomes an identification of the conditioned defenses that others in our environment expose us to and have towards the relationship that exists within us all, between us and ourselves.
When we are able to focus on the activity that involves us in developing our psychic equilibrium, we realize that it, along with other things, is also a process of input into the present, fabricated by conditioning of the non-beingness and the raw experiences of psychic reality. Which, when the feeling of separation it creates passes into equanimity, one goes beyond it into a state of non-forming frame of reference and meditative practice. When we experience this, it is experienced as an ”entry into emptiness,” as empty of all that is not. Of what it is of what remains. We discern this as the present, and as a direct relation to ”that reality that is as it is.” No matter how unbearable it may have appeared to us before. It is now the absolute foundation of our being. The original whole and the states that it creates in all its parts are no longer dependent on what others can allow themselves of it, through the limitations we perceive of it in our surroundings, but qualities of ourselves in our own relationship to it in our meditative self-observation. Hence we also find this intermediate state of this vast and desolate feeling of emptiness that we experience beyond that in the transition from others and to our own entry into the independent wholeness we once experienced as our psychic origins when we were young.
