What It Means to "Open Up"

Grace. Amidst the increasing number of ever new revelations about the self and other things, that construct the golden perspective more and more as a holistic self-knowledge, and thus a pathway to the Void, is the knowing of the power of Grace.

The Void, the unfathomable, incomprehensible thing that has no formula to be found, unless it wants to be found. In my eureka day of the Original Way of Being revelation, I found what I found, but soon I began to try to forcefully fit the experience of the Void in that criteria. That is what I realized. That is why the Void began to get elusive.

I say, the thing that is sought is Infinity! What foolish method would entail searching for a specific manifestation of it, when it can come in all imagined and unimagined ways? Infinity! One has to keep all doors open and accept everything—only will the Infinity enter. Resistance to evils is resistance to infinity. Expectation of a narrow form of Infinity is stopping from the rest of the infinite creative variety of Infinity from Being; observer effects in quantum physics.

I say, let us keep no expectations. Expectations mean to be choosy about what doors we open; and that too, only those that the feeble human mind can name and comprehend. Expectations hearken either to a past memory or a non-existent imagined experience. Let us be in the Present, as I’ve already said. Let us let go, as I already said.

And then, with all doors open, we call out to our guest the Void. Again, we have to let go of everything. I may say that the Void is in the silence of the inner voice; if one can hear it as one hears outer silence, then one finds the Void. I may say that the Void is in the darkness of the inner sight; when the inner eye, Imagination, does not construct an image, if one can see the darkness as one sees the outer darkness, then one finds the Void.

But then one can begin to quantify the Void: as sound, as sight. It is a grave danger. Again, we have to let everything go. Inwardly call, Oh, Divine, Grace Me! And let a Void dawn in the awareness, but it is neither sight, nor sound, not sensation, not emotion. It is the Incomprehensible. I say, it is incomprehension itself. Only by opening to everything can we find the Void.

The Observer Effects in quantum physics refers to an observation made by quantum physicists regarding the nature of quantum matter: that a matter is influenced by the observer, invariably, in the way that the observer seeks to observe the matter. When an observer seeks to pay attention to one particular character of a matter, it does not put the other characters out of focus; it renders them nonexistent.

When one seeks the Infinity, one should truly seek the infinity. Infinity cannot be comprehended by the mind: one cannot find it by expecting one thing, or two things in contemplation. One should not rationalize or place in one’s logical mindframe what is inside, for when that is escaped, the Infinity is free to come in its real form. Observer Effects… what the observer wants to see is what exists. Close your eyes and focus on where you think the Void tentatively feels. It would most probably be not on the skin but on the inside. Just feel that whatever is there is the Void: since there is no sensation on the inside, that no-sensation becomes filled with a force that is simply characterized by an incomprehension.

Focus on the Present; feel that the Void is already there. Again, I say, that trying to narrow it down does not work. That is where the Grace works. Nothing might ever work. One just lets go, and realizes according to the framework what one learned, how it worked; but for someone else, it might not work. Grace is the only way.
