I have been thinking for a while of the experience I feel of God as being an emptiness within, maybe no-thingness.Through my search I feel struck by the emptiness of all my spiritual findings. An emptiness not in the negative or positive sense, I feel it is a true sense of emptiness that i understand as the mystery of God.
I have been affected by the thought that the idea of God is nothing... or rather nothingness... and maybe hence the idea of God is based on the concept of zero... or sunya, or emptiness. Maybe God is the meaning of an experience of mystery and a sense of absence in our lives; that which is ephemeral and transcendent? That which is based on the concept of an absence within... and possibly in the world at large? I have felt in the last few days an experience of God as being a dimension within us that has no form or identity. Maybe God lies in that space like the zero, neither in the opposites. I feel the aspect of God being an emptiness within me, as an experience of touching the mystery of being in the world. A sense of openness to the infinite within me.. which at times feels like the vast cosmos... and yet this vastness is my very being.
