The Void

There is a space. Some sort of distance. It seems to go on forever and nothing can come of it. Nor can anything depart into it. An essence of non-material being. A vortex of thought. The void shows you only what you need to know, nothing of what you want to know, and sometimes things you never thought to consider. Your general feeling once you enter this place is of negativity and weight. You feel as though the entire world has collapsed around you and you are the sole being that holds the planet together. Yet, in another aspect; you beg everyone for help.

You know not who you are, what you are, how you got here or why. You're unsure of yourself, your motives and you're mostly unsure of who you want to be when you return from the void. Your inner most feelings come to the surface and you feel how you are meant to feel without bias. You feel differently. You think differently. And most of all, you act differently.

People only understand the void up to a certain magnitude and then it becomes unclear to them. One has once told me that the void is only accessable by people of a certain awakened level. Ones who are ready to accend to the next level of humanity. And become the true healers of our culture. It is said that the void derrives you of all things good so you learn to overcome the bad. You never feel the assurance that people are there to guide you and you see only the bad. You will succeed if you follow your heart through the void, however.

Your destiny is most uncertain, especially to your own self. When in the void it becomes clear what you want to do. What you are born to do. You become aware of things like energy; of people of places and things, how it mingles. You also become aware of lack of energy and places that are without energy. Or are so full of energy the place becomes unbearable. This can cause the most heartache of all. Learning that your place is not a good one for you as a healing individual.

Do not worry yourself over matters such as this though. All good energy has bad to counter it. As all bad as good as a counter-weight itself. There is a balance and all must be respected and honored. You must find a place for your bad energy to go to. The ground, a stone, guardians, any place that can hold energy of a dark color. You must not fear your negative surroundings. But, instead alter them to fit your life. Alter them into posative enviornments for people to love and to grow.

The void will take everything from you. Strip you of what is light and justifiable. You will be left with negative thoughts and feelings and an attitude to suit it. You must find your own way through the void and achieve your own fufillment. No one can help you through this except yourself. This is when one realizes that they are destined for some form of greatness.

One destined for greatness must overcome adversity, trials and danger. They forge their own way with a will of their own. The void proves that the individual is capiable of such things. They are initially thrown into a battle with their own self and forced to decide if they want to live the life they're living, or move on and ascend to something higher. You are the only one who can define your greatness and show the world what it truely means to be awakened.

Spiritual awakening is one of the hardest situations to overcome it would seem. There is a lot of unshakeable faith required to desire such outlandish sounding dreams, especially in a time of peril. You must really know who your soul is and let them shine through to design a path that caters to such a need as to being a great spiritual being.

-The void is what it takes to be a healer. And all true healers survive-
