Before writing what Emptiness is for me, let me share what it is not.
Emptiness is not the absence of thoughts and feelings. It is not that existential void. It is also not the absence of life’s meaning. It is not the removal of worries, anger, guilt or sadness. It is not deleting bad experiences or unpleasant memories. To be Empty is not a process of getting rid of anything. It is not throwing away the things I don't want or don't like.
To be Empty is not a process of getting rid of anything.
Emptiness is to go beyond the urge to be thoughtless. It is about being okay with feelings and experiences. It is about leaving the drive and the struggle to achieve and experience emptiness. It is to let go of the search, even for happiness.
To be Empty is to accept what is, as is.
