Always inside. It is always found inside.
Everything you are searching for is found inside. The solutions to all problems, all ideas, all (literally ALL) potential lies in you.
How?
Everything is created out of nothing. So you as well are an expression of this nothingness out of which everything is created. An absolutely and irreducibly unique expression of this nothing from which everything arises.
Some call it the Tao, others god, love, love intelligence, love beauty, love desire. It is no thing and you were created out of it. Therefore you have access to this no-thing-ness, it lies inside you. Only inside. Your access to “the void” only goes through you, because you are a unique expression of it, it is deep in your roots, you can not be separated from it.
Even though it sometimes seems as if the external world contains everything and you are just a fragmented, alienated part of it and therefore most of the useful and amazing things are to be found outside of yourself, it is actually the other way around.
Inside you is the access to the nothingness. And the nothingness contains everything, it is the realm of infinite possibility and creativity. That means that you have access to it as well. Not by searching for it outside of yourself but by connecting to yourself in the deepest way.
You may consider this a call for introspection, turning inside, living from the inside out. You may also continue searching for everything outside of yourself.
Either way, my time is up, I wish you all the best and I will meet you in the void.

*this is part of the series “showing up” where I give myself the challenge to frequently show up and create something, from start to finish. That is something I struggle with so I’m setting myself a timer of about 5-30 minutes and then create an entire blog post.
I could use this as an apology for lower quality, but my honest guess is that these will be some of the best texts I create. 🙂
