Much Ado About Nothing

THE state of emptiness is more profound than what ordinary mortals actually know.
It gives credence to the line: "Be Still, and know that I am God." It adds dimensions of meaning to the phrase (as uttered by someone who knows): "The Universe surrenders to the Mind that is Silent."
What do the Masters mean when they say, "in nothingness, thy shalt find yourself." It is the "soul" that we speak of. The ethereal link that hooks us up with your higher self.
It is the part that yogi masters at their highest level thrive on. It is what Zen masters try their entire lives to find, and sometimes they do. Only a few can or have achieved that level.
And yet it is within reach of the most ordinary among us. It is the jewel of our core. Once you have reached the core of nothingness, you find your pristine self and the window into the kingdom of heaven.
It is our true self. Our physical form denies vehemently its existence because it doesn't jell with everything we have learnt or have been told. For those who have glimpsed its perimeters, it is joy everlasting. It alters your perception of all that you have seen or can imagine.
It is the playground of eternity. The Zen masters call it satori. The Buddhists call it Nirvana. The Indian gurus call it Kundalini. It completes your understanding of all there is.
It is the eternally open door to the realm of love. It can and will alter the vibrations of your being. It is a dominion without words. It operates under no human laws or subjected to the principles of sciences as we know it.
It is called Tao long before the word became fashionable. It is a formless form. It is an echo not of sound. There is no time nor space in the nothingness that we speak of here.
If you can sustain its so-called energy, the universe and all there is is yours. Molecular structure, the world of atoms, the synergy that scientists discuss are all within your control.
It is beyond understanding, and yet you know. It is beyond experience of human passions and yet you "feel".
It is being in God's presence. It is being part of Being. It is being there and not going anywhere.
Your purpose on earth is to go as far as you can on this spiritual quest. Be the greatest that you can be, and in doing so touch the hem of the heavens and feel its Force, for want of a better term.
It is a journey without distance. A love without limits. An experience far beyond description. Go on, my friend, you are sent forth.
