Im hungry for something to fill my void

The void is the sense of separation aching to reunite with the Whole. You are fortunate to even perceive it as a void. Most are busy filling it with career, success, romance and all sorts of other distractions. You are ripe for a plunge into Self. Thats what the ache is.
Your heart will guide you if you don't get busy trying to wash over this feeling with stuff and non sense. I am pleased for you. Not what you expected anyone to tell you... but I tell you!
Stay put in

Dear Sun-Rose,

Do you know what your purpose in life is? And has life for you meaning?

Whatever you may think, your feelings are pointing to there being more than what you so far think you know. Yes, I too believe this is a good thing, although it isn't as simple as saying "reunite" with the "whole" because who is the you that is supposed to reunite with what exactly and how?

But if we assume for now, as a working hypothesis, that the separated incarnated you wishes to unite with the higher self, then it makes sense to try your best to live the life your higher self had mapped out for this life time before the incarnated part of it became lost in its dream 🙂 That's why I asked about your purpose in life. Not many people know the answer but we can all let the melancholy guide us into a feeling for it. 🙂

hi..

i went through the purpose of life quandary for years, and i associated it for a long time with a 'job'...and i explored many avenues, feeling at that time i was guided, by my gut, they all turned out dead ends..i since worked out that my job is not my purpose, (being simplistic here there was other stuff connected into it)

i am in a space now where there is nothing..i have no ideas, i have no gut feelings, its so weird..

my purpose i feel is totally linked in with other stuff...and its the hardest stuff of all..thats for another post:D

bye for now..

hi ..

ive got a feeling or the opposite a numbness..i cant quite describe it..

its something deep in me that is yearning to be filled/helped/healed not sure what.. its something that i cover with my earthly day to day duties which makes me think its a spiritual void, they way i have just worded that..

I feel like ive exhausted most things, im not sure if its book or words or a person or a situation or a religion or belief that is what i need all i know is that i feel like i am not myself, its been hanging around me for a while,, and i cannot shift it..

what is it? i ask myself?
is there anyone out there that has a clue what i am talking about and has read words that have made sense as to what this void is about?

thanks..

Spiritual void? I wonder if you would consider some purposeful contact with the Great Spirit? A step towards giving more priority to the Real and less to this world.
Book choices:
Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda
and/or
Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Or maybe going to a "Goddess Temple" or a workshop focused on the/a Goddess?

thankyou for the recommendations, i am sure my OH has Transform your life:), i will check that out..

You might find some insight by looking into early attachment to maternal figure [as a baby] and depression/empty feeling/void in adult life.

A nice post, Peter, thank you.

At the risk of sounding ungrateful or picky, can I suggest you do not use capital letters for every word, and add some paragraphs and punctuation?

Your post may be interesting and inspiring, but it is very hard to read!

Thank you again.

Fantastic post Ras, thanks for posting.

Thanks Peter,

I loved your post, apart from:
"Start Loking At Faiths, Religions"

I think that elements of religions (man?) have already caused too many problems in the world. Apart from Buddhism maybe. x

Exactly the way I felt Lumiere.

I am curious though [COLOR="Blue"]Peter I have often found people who tend to say these things are often those living in relative comfort and security what do you think?

[COLOR="Red"]Sun-Rose you still sound a little lost? I felt exactly as you do and posted such on HP a while back. I have tried and tried for months to find something, feeling frustrated about this void, I never got any joy from the numerous voluntary agencies I tried but last week thank goodness I think I have found my niche, it is a centre for people who have suffered mental health problems, depression, lonliness. Everything about the place made me feel that I would really be doing something worthwhile, even from a simple chat with someone to maybe giving some reflexology/reiki. I have to wait of course for the CRB check but now I really feel for the first time in months I have actually got something constructive to look forward to.

hi..think my dilemma was whether i was trying to find something from the outside to satisfy my inside or whether it was just my inside wasnt happy with herself..what felt like a gaping hole when i posted has now shrunk , its still there, my task isnt complete (whatever it may be,,im still working on it) but things are coming up, or being aired, and possibilities too...

glad you found your niche, i feel quite optimistic that i will find mine its a matter of keeping patient for me, not something that comes easily..:D
