The Crying Fields
by Soren Dreier
I get a number of mails, people telling that they seem to be a bit ‘down’ and feeling a touch of hopelessness.
Such soul searching voids can be very interesting, if they are not confused with swimming around in the self obsessed soup , which is not very interesting, but sometimes necessary, maybe – when we feel sorry for ourselves or we think the navel is the most interesting place in the universe. It isn’t. It’s a black hole.
We often find ourselves in these voids through life, but they can only be perceived as voids if we somehow have engaged in soul searching, self-development, or in some manner have worked with ourselves on a conscious level.
It seems like when we hit the void at this level, the soul is confused on how to proceed, to take a choice, to “giving it up”, which of course is not the same as “giving up”. When the soul does that it hurts and stings until maybe, we can shift perspective on it and find ourselves actually in a “natural state of mind”.
The void holds great benefits. We seek it through meditation or other techniques. What we seek is the calm and quiet of it, away from the Ego-business in our minds and nervous system.
So actually, somehow we know that “void state of mind” to be very healing, and maybe we really don’t know: that we´re home, really home in that void.
