Student Q&A with Guy on "Liberate Yourself from the Feeling of Being Empty and Alone in Life" (2/19/23)

  • Posted: Monday, February 20, 2023
  • Meeting: Sunday, February 19, 2023

  • Duration: 45min 37sec

Topics Covered
  • A necessary realization along the upward path is that there are parts of you that do not want you to realize the truth of yourself.
  • Although not really aware of it, the question of "Who am I" sits behind every pursuit, both worldly and spiritually.
  • We are told that we are missing something, believe in the absolute truth of that idea, and then search for what we are told to pursue in order to fill that emptiness.
  • Just as it is impossible to outrun your shadow, it is also impossible to outrun your emptiness.
  • The last thing that people will do is stand still, stop pursuing what seems to be missing, so that they can understand something about the nature of the emptiness.
  • Your unconscious reactions and resistance feed the very culture that elicits those reactions and resistance.
  • Unconscious resistance to emptiness tells us what we need to do in order to fill ourselves.
  • What if what we call emptiness is not at all the real cause of our suffering? What if that emptiness is actually one-half of the Celestial promise of genuine fulfillment, of genuine wholeness?
  • Every real need, such as the need for water, is a kind of emptiness. The need, and the answer to the need, already exist together. Within the need, with the emptiness, already exists that which will complete it.
  • You are not here to complete yourself through anything the world can give you.
  • All things divine seek to be expressed so that the intended impressions can be made within the intended instrument, which is us.
  • When we will cease heeding the temptation to answer the emptiness, then the emptiness itself will attract what will complete it.
  • You can't have a longing for the Divine that the Divine did not put in you. Whatever is empty is made to be filled.
  • The sacrifice is of the self that attempts to fill the emptiness (the question, the need) with what it thinks it needs.
  • You are the only one keeping score, and you will always eventually lose when you play that game of comparison.

Two Meditations to Help Liberate You From the Painful Illusion of Emptiness

1: Gravity is a form of emptiness: it is a celestial law that represents a ceaseless longing answered only by what it captures, and draws into itself. So it is with the gravity of emptiness; it's a form of Divine magnetism ceaselessly attracting, and being filled with all that it draws into the fertile void of its endless invisible body.

2: It is a celestial law, albeit visible only to those with eyes to see: there can be no such thing as "emptiness" without that which is always and forever present, endlessly pouring itself into that open and waiting vessel. Equally so, yet greater still -- as is the vine to the branch -- is the following truth: there can be no sincere longing for what is Divine, without the Divine already in attendance... waiting to fill that emptiness with the fullness of Itself.
