Hollowness Versus Emptiness

Hollowness is vacancy, when we feel empty inside and life seems pointless, so we constantly look for things to fill the void. This is the constructed, vicious cycle of existence, where we have no foundation of reality – and so, no happiness.

Emptiness is a term used to express the naked quality of hollowness which is pure consciousness, full of potential.

If we constantly fill the pure space in the mind, there is no room for clarity; a congested mind is a closed mind. If we are unfamiliar with the spacious potential in the mind, it can feel isolating, so we fill the space with background ‘noise’.

When hollowness is recognised as the empty space of pure cognisance,
the more we are at ease with ourselves.
