Of course lots of things are emerging from &#8217;emptiness&#8217;. Things of which you may search for some &#8216;conceptual cause&#8221; which cannot be found in that &#8217;emptiness&#8217;, because there is simply no &#8216;conceptual cause&#8217; present in it. That is just what &#8217;emptiness&#8217; means: &#8217;empty&#8217; of concepts and therefore empty of &#8216;conceptual causes&#8217; too.<\/p>\n<p>HA! Things happen \u2018spontaneously\u2019 there.<\/p>\n<p>HA! &#8216; Emptiness&#8217; is a domain with all kinds of egocentric things that do not know what to do with themselves (normally they can contain themselves through stickiness).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Unfortunately, it is a common reaction that &#8217;emptiness&#8217; is being blamed for one&#8217;s own desperation. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8216;Emptiness&#8217; is not to blame. It&#8217;s all innocence. It is &#8216;virginally empty&#8217;. Real &#8217;emptiness&#8217; <em>doesn&#8217;t even know what guilt is<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>HA! But &#8217;emptiness&#8217; is not a dimension less. It is a dimension more. In other words, it is the source itself. Where everything is created. Where everything exists.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A filled teacup (which also wants to see itself as being &#8216;full&#8217;), wants to do it by itself.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It wants to remain at the helm because of the impression of control. Maybe in the meantime, the helm is just hanging in the air&#8230; but there is still the impression. An &#8217;empty&#8217; teacup on the other hand, permanently shows what in such a full setting &#8216;cannot&#8217; and &#8216;should not&#8217; &#8230; in other words: what is considered unacceptable by a filled teacup in a &#8216;no-matter-what\u2019 way.<\/p>\n<p>Filled teacups &#8220;would do everything for it, really everything, doctor &#8230;&#8221; except the idea that they are actually full of stuffing. Alas. Alas.<\/p>\n<p>How far can this go? Make no mistake: shockingly far.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a beautiful reality<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Filled teacups keep themselves fearfully filled.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That fear often keeps its head low or only shows itself as a crack in the teacup.<\/p>\n<p>Fear? I? What are you talking about?<\/p>\n<p><em>While<\/em> the crack becomes bigger and bigger.<\/p>\n<p>Filled teacups are really persistent concerning this. They keep coming, keep pushing, even keep hitting, full of themselves but at the same time not of themselves at all. &#8216;Themselves&#8217; are being pushed away, like an egg from a cuckoo&#8217;s nest.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Full is full <em>of<\/em>. &#8216;Empty&#8217; is &#8217;empty&#8217; <em>for<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Who knows what is coming? Yeah. Who knows what&#8217;s in it?<\/p>\n<p>It cannot. It should not. It is not. Is this all?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>In the abstract, a filled teacup is deprived of &#8217;emptiness&#8217;. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The intention was\/is to make &#8230;. dependent (starting with: parents who mean well, then teachers, then organizations of all sorts, etc.). Power thus, if you look at it from another angle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Additional problem: it is also a dependence from within.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That is to say: it hangs onto the situation, as a kind of addiction to superficiality. Own material, an alien form of captivity.<\/p>\n<p>Do not try to convince a full teacup. It\u2019s senseless.<\/p>\n<p>Letting it emerge from such teacup is difficult too of course if the source itself is gone.<\/p>\n<p>Solution? A source is never gone. It\u2019s sometimes hard to find, so: functionally gone. At the one hand this is just as gone as gone. At the other hand, everything is always quite there. You don&#8217;t have to find it elsewhere. You even cannot find it elsewhere.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>But beware: a full teacup might beg you to give her &#8216;that&#8217; <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As long as &#8216;that&#8217; is something it\u2019s full of, it is hopeless to give it what it wants. First it should clear the own mind. That may happen in a flash. That may also take 1(0(0)) year(s).<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"1159\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1159\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"1159\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"1159\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-1159\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1159\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Emptiness\u2019 is a screen on which much can be projected.
