Why is Something Empty? - (5700)

Empty words, empty promises, empty friendships, empty marriages, empty ideas, empty apologies, empty activities, empty plans, empty talks...

 

Going by how many expressions of 'empty' there are in the English language, it's not a far strethch to say that 'empty' is a common human experience and perception.

What makes something empty? From my reflection, something is empty because it lacks the presence or the support of the consciousness or the heart…

I think that we can say the presence or support of the consciousness is at least the presence of one of the attributes of the consciousness, such as the love of the consciousness, the force of the consciousness, the wisdom of the consciousness and the will of the consciousness.

The support of the Divine Law and the Divine Being also make something 'full', or at least to have substance, meaning and significance.

Something that is empty is totally the 'known' and is mechanical and superficial. It only has superficial meaning and purpose. There is no heart in or behind it. There is little or no truth and living ‘will’ inside of it.

We may feel empty just sitting there in our life because we have lost contact with our interior, and our source of life, consciousness and enthusiasm. 

After a big mistake we all feel empty. After a fall the feeling of emptiness is strong and 'real'.

When we distance ourselves from Divinity through protest, disobedience, neglect, desire, lust etc. we feel terribly empty.

After harming others we feel empty.

When we lack love, vision, hope and faith in something or someone we feel empty in relation to that something or someone.

When are not 'walking the talk' our words are empty.

When we are in-love with someone else our marriage is empty.

When we do not care, our promises are empty.

When we lack responsibility our presence is empty. 

It goes on and on...

The work on ourselves is the remedy for emptiness.
