By Gonny There are moments when everything feels full.
And then there are moments when it doesn’t.
You talk to someone and realize you have nothing to say.
You sit on a chair and stare at the wall in front of you.
You are in a supermarket and your cart stays empty.
It’s like the world just… pauses.
No clarity….No drive….No “next step.”
And the ego, of course, panics.
“Quick, fix it!….Something’s wrong!….You’re stuck!”
But the Holy Spirit doesn’t agree.
He says: “This space is perfect. Let it be.”
Because what we often call emptiness is actually a sacred doorway.
The Cursus reminds us:
“Into His Presence would I enter now.” (W-157)
“I need do nothing.” (T-18.VII.)
And guess where that Presence is most easily found?
In the quiet. In the stillness. In the not-knowing.
Not in the rush to figure things out. Not in the next big insight.
But in the simple willingness to be, without forcing, fixing or filling.
Imagine:
-You’re with a friend and the conversation goes quiet.
No awkwardness. No wisdom. Just… silence.
-You wake up and feel flat. Not sad. Not joyful. Just… neutral.
-You try to pray but no words come.
The ego calls it emptiness. But ACIM calls it something else:
“The hush of Heaven holds my heart today.” (W-286)
What if the Void isn’t the absence of something,but the presence of something deeper? What if it’s not a lack, but a clearing?
Not a problem, but a preparation?
We’re used to measuring our day by what we said, solved, or achieved.
But sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is nothing at all.
To stop….To listen….To breathe….To let the ego’s need for “more” dissolve…
and simply rest in what is.
So when you find yourself in the Void, in a moment that feels like nothing,
don’t rush to fill it.
Smile. Bake a cake. Sit with it.
And maybe say: “This too is part of the journey. This pause is holy. I don’t need to understand it. I only need to trust it.”
Because even when nothing seems to be happening…Love is still here.
And in the silence… everything is being gently undone.
With love and light,
G.
