UNITED STATES, Oct 14 — Emptiness is a spiritual concept that is best defined by the Tao Te Ching. The true nature of the cosmos is emptiness, the universe is almost 100% empty space. The reason we sense the material world as solid is that the solid particles are moving so fast we sense them in millions of places as if at once. We cannot seek for the truth and acquire it as if it were a rare object, Rather truth flows from the plenum of the void and fills the emptiness and expresses itself through us in appearance, language, and behavior

mptiness is a spiritual concept that is best defined by the Tao Te Ching. The true nature of the cosmos is emptiness, the universe is almost 100% empty space. The reason we sense the material world as solid is that the solid particles are moving so fast we sense them in millions of places as if at once.
An empty mind is in a state of meditation, an empty mind can receive insight which is always fresh and present oriented. Communicated insight becomes old and stale and contributes to the accumulation of knowledge rather than the depth of understanding.
The principle of emptiness basically refers to the meaninglessness of phenomenon. Whatever meaning is interpreted from any action or circumstance is wholly illusory and subjective.
The Tao Te Ching reads:
Become totally empty Quiet the restlessness of the mind Only then will you witness everything unfolding from emptiness See all things flourish and dance in endless variation And once again merge back into perfect emptiness Their true repose Their true nature Emerging, flourishing, dissolving back again This is the eternal process of return To know this process brings enlightenment To miss this process brings disaster
Again the Tao Te Ching:
Know That which is beyond all beginnings And you will know everything here and now Know everything in this moment And you will know the Eternal Tao
The fullness of the present moment is framed by the emptiness of the past and the emptiness of the future. Misunderstanding this emptiness is the basis of all illusion.
We are empty vessels. As long as the ego seeks fulfillment from the outer world (see attachment) enlightenment and contentment are not possible. We cannot seek for the truth and acquire it as if it were a rare object, Rather truth flows from the plenum of the void and fills the emptiness and expresses itself through us in appearance, language, and behavior. It flows like a river, it cannot be stored as knowledge and experience, nor even as wisdom.
