When you have a void and if you resist or try to fill the void with material things or with addictive substances or even with a person; youll realize that this void is so enormous that nothing seems to fill it, just the contrary; the void seems to expand or does not quite response to your efforts. Its because the void is not meant to be filled. If you choose to accept and embrace the void, youll find that its easier to live with that reality. All the material things in the world wouldnt completely fill the void because the void is not material in the first place. Youll fill a void in matter with the laws of physics and you can be successful. But to fill an emotional void with material world cannot be explained with physics, either. Its like opposing to some proven physics rules. Its like opposing to Einsteins Relativity theorem or opposing to the value of pi, trying over and over to prove it wrong and find other ways.
But when you accept them, you can move on to the other theorems and built a strong foundation, which your void works in a similar way. If you accept it instead of resisting it, you dont try to replace it with material things. You cant replace your love to someone with any material thing. If its real love, it cannot be replaced with anything else. Its so infinitive; you cannot put a value on it in terms of worldly material things and money. Real love is priceless and it becomes your void if you have the illusion of loosing it. Im telling illusion, because the loss is the person you love not together with you anymore for some reason doesnt mean that the real love is gone.
It exists as intensive and mesmerizing only when you lift the thick curtains you covered over. Its personal, its yours, and only you know and feel it, only you can tell the intensity, so thats also priceless. Its impossible to replace that kind of intense emotion with drugs, alcohol or material things. The question is what can be done before having reversible damage. To make the decision on time and to work hard on it is one of the steps. Thats a bigger challenge than climbing Everest in my opinion.
To analyze, accept and not to get lost in your own void is a bigger challenge than going through physical hardships in life. To refuse to accept that only postpones your life and it takes awareness far away from you. Your enlightenment waits for you until you make the conscious decision to accept the void, all the trauma in your life and move on. Unfortunately if your material world and human flesh is so important for you, it will take much longer time. Every moment, every day you loose something else. Your family, your friends, your house disappears. Nothing can stand the intensity of your resistance to the void. Theyre just sucked up in a huge vacuum far away from you. Because you kept you so isolated and so disconnected not only from yourself but from your life and realities as well.
A couple decides to travel leaving their children to their grandmother. Right before they left; the children got sick. They went anyway and they faced a terrible flood in the town they went for a vacation. Even though they survived, their vacation was certainly spoiled. If they have stayed with their sick children, they wouldnt face the flood. Was it actually a sign for them not to travel, they did anyway refusing to see the clear massage?
A drug addict is struggling with his addiction. On the way to the drug dealer he runs into three blocks clearly trying to stop him. One old friend invites him for a cup of tea, he learns that his baby needs formula, his father calls to ask his help to run an errand; he goes out and buys the drug anyway before he responds any of those signs and almost overdoses. Those chain events which tried to prevent was actually not different than the future trying to communicate with those people to try to prevent the results of their act.
