The Sun in Sunyata
"God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through." Paul Valery.
Nothing to do, nowhere to go...
My fabricated ego can't stand the emptiness of Sunyata, the buddhist void of Space. It suffers boredom, dissolution, de-mentation.

"Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness." Samual Beckett.
~
I surrender to the process of undoing; the "via negativa" which is a sacramental crossing-over or shamanic rite-of-passage into the formless realm.
~
"The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world." Georg Buchner.
~
The trauma of crucifixion and disintegration pass. Space remains in death's wake. Spirit transcends as mental matter loses its grip on reality.
~
"Shiva, the lord of destruction, is then the yogin who drops the phallic passion for having, thereby destroying the world of things and personae, becoming the body of the sky, Space." Patrick de Sercey.
~
The body of the sky, Dharmakaya, is the deathless, sun-like Son; Prajna in Sunyata; Christ in the desert; the higher Self or universal mind; the "new skin" or sol-like Soul filled with spirit (new wine).
~
Nothing to do, nowhere to go...
Potentialilty resides in emptiness, to create, become, do, or do not. Even to form ideas about formlessness. But in order to "Be" real, not just an egoic fig-mentation, one must also have the potential to dissolve. "I have the power to lay down my life and to take it up again." (John 10:18).
~
The shamanic ability to lay down one's life and be subsumed up into a higher Being means entering into Sunyata, the emptiness and full potential of SpAce, wherein the archetypal Son rests in peace, beyond thought-forms.
~
But am I willing to lay down my will to live; be burned, blackened and de-mented, so as to provoke Christ into raising me from the dead?
