Void is the negation of the negative

First there is positive. The positive is negated and there is negative. The negative is held – the negative is not negated. 

But once in thousands years, the negative is negated and we find the Void. 

The void is the negation of the negative. It is emptiness. 

At enlightenment, the negative is permanently negated – one permanently remains in a state of void. 

For the void, the negative must be there (to be negated) and the negation of which would form the void – so the negative exists. 

If the void is predominant, the negative thoughts must be there – to be negated. 

The negative permanently exists after enlightenment, but only to be continuously negated. 

I no longer stand on the way of time

After I have attained Enlightenment, I have become transparent to time. I see that I allow time to pass. I no longer stand on the way of time. Everything changes without even touching me. The mind passes through the transparency I provide to it.

Time is like a wind. Most of the time it is a breeze. But sometimes it passes like a storm.

And I am afraid.

The fear is: What if I get carried away by time?

If you exist, you can build anything.

Now, nothing can be stopped

Everything passes by without obstruction.

Anything you stop troubles you – you finally lose. 

As time cannot be stopped

It will take you along

You keep running from pillar to post.

Find no place to hide.

With the emergence of the void

Nothing can stop you 

As you stop none.

You are a pillar in a storm

While they pass by like a wind.

If you exist, you can build anything.

An enlightened man allows time to flow

An enlightened man has developed a void that allows time to pass or changes to happen within thus does not interfere with time of the mind. Whatever he comes across (for the first time) through the senses changes as far as it can – releasing its potential, without obstruction by the physical body at a rate commensurate with the rate of change of the mind and is passed into the past. 

The mind changes at a certain rate which is common for all.

To keep up with time of the mind there forms images of what the senses has already come across (we call it memory) and they keep changing at a rate same as the time of the mind.

For an ordinary person, these events that the senses come across initially and later their image keep hamerring him till he himself start to run to keep up with the time of the mind.

In nature, every entity has its own rate of change, which makes it unique. An enlightened person changes at its own rate while others change at a common rate.

Summarily, an enlightened person is connected neither to nature, nor to the mind.

Image world passes through the void

For an enlightened man, the image world and the physical world have been separated. Earlier the physical body stood between the image and real world – all three were connected.

The image world is the past as without the physical body, with the passage of time, every image amd dialogue turns into what it has to turn into – and ends. Without the physical body, every image turns hostile (to make the man run) and into its final form.

After enlightenment, the real world and the image world gets separated. Image world passes through the physical world without touching it.They run parallel to each other and different rates of change.

Image world is the past. The body and the physical world is the present.

It is a game of images

The images formed by the senses change fast as they are subjected to the “sense of time”. Since the senses are a part of the body, they also push the body to change at the same rate.

They turn hostile and scary so as to make the person “run”, change at the same rate as them. Without being scared, he would not run or change.

After enlightenment, the physical body still exists and also the senses. The images form and the images turn scary and hostile so as to make the enlightened man run or change at their rate, but the whole thing passes through the void without touching the enlightened man, into the past.

An enlightened person is immune. For an enlightened man, it is just the game of images.

There is only passage of time

Whatever the senses come across, forms an image.

Now, why does an image form?

An image forms because the actual object may change at another rate.

While we humans have a “Sense of time” or a rate at which everything changes.

If it changes slowly, an image forms and it changes at the rate of our “sense of time”.

Hence and Image forms. 

This image changes at a certain rate while the actual situation or object changes at its own rate.

The Image is not the object.

The human body in which the senses exist does not allow this image to change as the human body itself changes at a different and slower rate. 

There is resistance. The human body does not allow this image to become its past. Things or situations I have encountered.

At enlightenment, a void forms and this image passes into the past, without any resistance and without touching the physical body. 

For an enlightened man, there is only the past and the future. The present is a void through which time passes from the future to the past. The future lies ahead of him and the past behind him. He does not move in time, he is stagnant, while the objects move from the future to the past. He feels the passage of time. Objects move from the future to the past or from the front to the behind. As long as they are in the front, they are the future, the moment they move behind, they become the past. 

As the images of situations pass into the past with time, they carry with them an image of the enlightened man into the past leaving an emptiness in the present. 

The consequences of the event are seen, but only after they have encountered the image of the enlightened man and have moved into the past. 

The void provides a passage

As time passes, every event or situation that we encounter must pass into the past.

But this does not happen as our physical bodies act as a barrier. We encounter the event through our senses and our senses are a part of our physical body. 

Thus the physical body acts as a barrier. 

As these events are not allowed to pass into the past, they keep accumulating in the front of our physical bodies and form our mind. If we close our eyes, they will be visible. This is proven by the fact that our imagination is always in the front, we do not have to turn back to know our imaginations. If we close our eyes, it is in the front. As time passes, the external situation changes, things might move, but the previous situation that “quanta” of energy was not able to pass into the past. The memory remains and pushes the human body to give them a way to pass into the past. 

For example, I see a red car passing by. Externally the car has passed by in a few seconds, but the human body acts as a barrier and does not allow the car to pass into the past, creating a memory of the car. This memory creates desire. Now the desire is to own the car thinking that by owning we will be able to push the car into the past. This is a trap, even by owning it the car cannot be pushed into the past. All such events keep accumulating in and form the memory or the mind. 

As time passes, these events struggle to pass into the past, but alas, they are stuck. In the process they accumulate energy, waiting to be released and because of these they have a swabhava or nature. These things in the memory hava swabhava. Reality has no swabhava or nature. Reality does not have an essence or Self nature. 

At enlightenment, a void forms in the body that allows these pictures/memories to pass into the past the moment they emerge – almost in no time – instantly. 

Also, after enlightenment, every event we encounter passes into the past without accumulation at the body-front. These memories do not touch the body at all and pass into the past through the void. 

While there occurs no change to the object. The object remains pristine. 

Now nothing can be held. The red car we talked about has passed into the past – there is no more time to pursue it. The things we consider good and worthy of pursuing also pass into the past in an instant leaving no time to pursue them. The mind says that it is gone. It gives you a reason not to pursue. It tells you it has gone sour.

Images of things we consider bad also pass into the past almost instantly leaving us no time to take care of them. Since we cannot take care of them by stopping them which requires time, the mind tells us that the damage has been caused and the repercussions are coming. There is no time. It has caused the damage – this is probably the damage that I have been talking about. 

But the whole happens in the image realm. Nothing touches the physical body pulling the physical body into the picture. 

These were the stories of the images. The actual objects cannot pass into the past, they are always in the present. They are unchanging. 

Thus after enlightenment, things fade. Nothing remains good and worth pursuing. The real objects are forever. 

Nothing remains to be desired or worth pursuing. 

Emptiness, Fear & Goddess Kali

After attaining to the void, one has lost the battle completely. The person has lost it. He has been so defeated that he can no longer come back. He has no defense left. His weapons have been taken away. 

He cannot stop or fight anything that might come. Everything has come-in (could not be stopped at the gate) and are waiting to explode. 

For an enlightened man, it is as if the damage has been made – just waiting for the repercussions.

Someone who is an ascetic or has renounced everything (like the great Gautama the Buddha), is not afraid. He has nothing to lose. Hence is fearless. But I have not renounced anything, I have a family, goals – probably a mission to fulfill. I don’t know. I know that I cannot renounce anything now. There is responsibility on my shoulders. Since I have not yet renounced, it is as if things are waiting to fall apart. Hence I am afraid of what might happen. Hence so much fear. Thus, after attaining the void I am afraid. 

Things have gone so out of hand and I have been left so far behind that now I cannot make up for what has been lost. My efforts do not work out. They do not fetch results. There is nothing more to do. I do not have a path.Now, It is as if I am waiting for things to go wrong or waiting for the final fall to extinction. Hence so much fear Since the damage has already been done, one is afraid irrespective of what happens.

Goddess Kali came to my rescue.

One day, a few years ago after I attained to the void, while tremendously afraid of what might happen, Goddess Kali emerged in my consciousness and alleviated my fear. The fear was so much that only someone of the stature of Goddess Kali could help. Since that day I could not worship another deity. Since then she has been around. Since the damage has already been done, there is nothing to do except surrender to Her. Since I do not know what to do, or have a clear path, I have surrendered to Her. From that day, every moment I have spent or will spend will be decided by her. 

Now it is up to her what she wants to do with me or what she wants me to do.

I am a hollow bamboo

After enlightenment, I have become a ring or you can also say a hollow bamboo. On one side of the ring there is the external that is captured by the senses. On another side of the ring, there is the past. In the middle lies the void. The void is connecting the internal and external. Earlier the internal was inaccessible as there was no void. The external and the internal have now been connected – they have become one.

The external captured by the senses – with the passage of time – passes into the past – which is infinite as there is no barrier. The void allows the passage of time. The passing of time is a continuous process. Whatever is captured by the senses, passes into the past without touching the body or the ring or bamboo. 

Thus time passes without obstruction. 

For an ordinary man there is obstruction to the flow of time. He struggles with change, he resists change – he fights everyone – in order to exist, he must fight change otherwise he would not exist, his endeavours will be washed away by time.

Existence is a struggle with time for an ordinary man.

As an enlightened man allows time to flow freely, time does not come in his path. There is no obstruction. Unlike that of an ordinary man, nothing pushes an enlightened man away.  He need not fight or struggle to stay put. He is free.

He just needs to do nothing while things happen automatically – but things will take their own time and cannot be accelerated.
