There seems to be times when all we see, feel, and are is emptiness. A prolonging silence testing our silent limit, in which we either join the silence, or go stir-crazy by it. At times, this emptiness can be quite cold, making us so aware of such hollowness, it is as if all energy was sucked out of our immediate surroundings. When will such energy return? When will it again warm us to bright temperatures? That is just it, though; it is emptiness. It is cold. It is so hollow, it does not exist... or, at least, it does not appear to exist.
Dead, cold silence. Only death could be so eerie! And yet, there are times when each of us will face such emptiness we never really knew existed. It may come on suddenly, or take its time, until suddenly we realize we are completely alone. Nothing anyone says will rid its presence, and we may feel as if we have no choice but to surrender to it. And, when we surrender to it, we will become it - dead, cold silence.
There really is nothing wrong with such silence... such emptiness which tests our limits of loneliness. To be so lonely and aware of such emptiness is a sign we have accepted its presence, which has isolated our soul and tested our very existence. In this material plane, when we each find our self alone, we may find ways to avoid such loneliness... such emptiness. But, what if we had nothing and no one to help us? What if we experienced such presence in order to accept vast emptiness situated all around us? In truth, we can easily be surrounded by nothing, and either accept it, or go crazy by it.
If Consciousness was all we had while being surrounded by a force so hollow, so mind-crushingly deep that our consciousness also almost cease to exist, how many of us would survive? This is a true emptiness which seemingly brings a freezing point so brutal, one cannot even fathom if he or she exists, or not. One would be so enraptured within that nothing and no one else appears to exist, ever! Everything would appear as a blur, noises would cease, movements would cease, and brain function would grow dim and hollow, like the exact emptiness surrounding it.
Emptiness is not a trick, or a dream. Instead, it is a constant, surrounding hollowness which can easily zap one's energy into oblivion, appearing to cause recklessness, destruction, insanity, and chaos... a force so powerful, we almost return to it upon death. We must be careful of such hollowness, for it is like a warp zone, zapping away at Consciousness in order to bring one back to another miracle - another chance of survival. However, if one's heart still beats, and one's brain still functions, it may continue to appear as a sweet offer of silence turning into a cold, desperate intrigue that must sooner or later be recognized, and sooner or later, be obeyed.
This is emptiness.
