Valuing Emptiness – Pure Knowingness

Emptiness means uncontaminated mind, pure awareness, pure consciousness, pure knowingness. It is the clarity of silent witnessing that perceives through this body and mind; pure perception from behind the scenes.

This empty cognisance is ever-present, but goes unnoticed. It’s ignored because we are otherwise engaged. Emptiness doesn’t create anything, but can manifest compassionate energy in many forms.

All phenomena is created by causes and conditions, and is thus empty of any true reality. It then dissolves, reforming new phenomena. Neither phenomena nor thoughts have any permanent reality.

This is why everything is an illusion. The body and mind are just conduits – channels for consciousness. This invisible awareness behind the scenes is what we truly are.

We meditate to realise that which is beyond words.
