When you're trying to create something and you need to hang out, in not knowing, in all the cracks and spaces where you feel lost, and you need to endure them, and have new ideas come out of that emptiness, well, the Internet is what we do when we feel lost, you know? Like, you go online or you check your email when you don't know what to do next, and so it's not helpful, in that sense.
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.
About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives. This can be defined as the general neurosis of our times.
Emptiness is bound to bloom, like hundreds of grasses blossoming.
Emptiness has its solace in that there's nothing left to take.
For the first time driving that day I could feel the motion of the Earth. The Earth rushing through the emptiness of space. Spinning on its axis but they say you don't feel it, you can't experience it. But to feel it is to be scared and happy at once and to know that nothing matters but that you do what you want to do and what you do you are. And I knew I was moving into the future. There is not PAST anybody can get to, to alter things or ever to know what those things were but there is definitely a future, we are already in it.
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music. . . . When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
There is no emptiness without appearance, and there is no appearance without emptiness. That is what we call the interdependent nature.
Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.
Life is an empty dream.
The line of lovelessness is not drawn between speaking and doing, but between speaking and doing in the truth, and speaking and doing in emptiness. Truth turns word-love into deed-love.
Living Empty means we release the things that are no longer in alignment with who we are becoming. The release itself tells us who that is. The emptiness shows us the way.
As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers
Good and bad, happy and sad, all thoughts vanish into emptiness like the imprint of a bird in the sky.
We put thirty spokes to make a wheel: But it is on the hole in the center that the use of the cart hinges. We make a vessel from a lump of clay; But it is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful. We make doors and windows for a room; But it is the empty spaces that make the room livable. Thus, while existence has advantages, It is the emptiness that makes it useful.
Prayer is an expression of who we are. . . We are a living incompleteness. We are a gap, an emptiness that calls for fulfillment.
So consumed in all your doom, trying hard to fill the emptiness.
This was the truth at the core of my existence: this yawning emptiness, scantily clad in rage. It had been there all along.
Emptiness is everywhere and it can be calculated, which gives us a great opportunity. I know how to control the universe. So tell me, why should I run for a million?
The emptiness where I used pain to fill the hole no longer controls me, no longer calls me because of you.
