Emptiness

Contemplation has the experience of emptiness, which is why many people avoid it on any continuing practice.  Yet it is not emptiness, but is an experience beyond anything we can define, and beyond limits.  Contemplation has no outer edges that define its space.  Contemplation brings us into the limitless.  The mind cannot handle this but the heart sees and is fed by this prayer.  This emptiness in prayer is not passive as in inert.  It is full of energy, Power, and  freedom so we can act in a more selfless and loving way towards other people and situations.  We no longer use the go to response of resentment and judgment, but rather acceptance, compassion, service and love.  Contemplation is the stepping aside practice so that we can step back in on the right foot.
