The spiritual void

in spirituality •  2 years ago  (edited)

Has anyone ever entered the void period? It’s a hard period to explain where you feel an absolute sense of nothingness, hence the name the void. I’ve entered it numerous times in my life, at least 10-20 for various amounts of time and afterwards if you handle it well and really relax into it and let it be rather than fight against it, you tend to uplevel and come out in a higher state than you went in. Several people try to define these periods, everyone slightly differently but the thread is always the same. My personal belief is the void is when we are ready for a big shift and we need to leave a lot behind in one go and that’s an uncomfortable but necessary process. We can fight it or we can allow it and in my experience allowing it moves it along a hell of a lot quicker and easier. I’ve come out of these periods sometimes with complete life changing shifts and sometimes it’s more gradual if you can just stick out the uncomfort of the void and allow it to move through you.

I believe it to be a state where we continually learn that everything is within, that all we need is within and that we cannot rely on outside sources of fulfilment, validation etc etc to complete us as they will never truly do that.

It’s not comfortable, but it’s not terrible, and the more you become accustomed to them, the easier they become to accept and sink into. To just be and not fight against them, think somethings wrong, judge it is as bad your not being productive etc,

The more I walk the journey the more I learn to go with these periods. To stay off social media mostly, to meditate, go to the gym, relax, read and not force myself to do anything at all until it is inspired and I feel the call to go back to the world. I like this woman’s article.

So for now I’m being a bit quiet and taking my time to reset till I feel ready to join in again. 😊

ahaaa so that's what is going on with me? Could be. I know I feel nothing right now and no wish to inflict my nothingness on others so not writing anything at all.

It could well be I do wonder if something is going on astrologicallt as it isn’t just me feeling it. I think the main difference between like the void and depression is depression feels hopeless and takes a while to claw out of. The void is just nothingness and once it passes you can go to feeling increadible very quickly and everything shifting in lifeZ it’s a very different feeling like a feeling to withdraw and do nothing at all and just totally surrender. Not sure about you but myself and a few friends are having wild dream states right now too every night full of dreams

Yes I get that and know I'm not depressed. It's defo like a nothingness yes and the dreams!! They've been so vivid and awesome I don't want to wake up.

Same! Been sleeping till like 10 am not even waking up for my alarm the last few days and the dreams are so vivid and like you say I don’t even want to wake from them hmmm what’s going on

It’s defo not a happy state tho either it’s very much a nothing state the only real way to describe it is the void I think lol. I do think something is going on as I feel it’s happening to a few ppl at the same time. It’s jjst that call to withdraw and be totally with yourself for a bit and not feel an urgency to get anything done/ having no real passion for being out in the world at all.

EXACTLY how I feel.

I'm way too out of touch with my feeling to relate! hahaha But great article. Also very much necessary to create a void in your life at times, for it to be filled with something that is more rewarding or refreshing.
