Today, we’re going to piggyback off of that and talk about the quest for nothing, how to find fulfillment in the divine. And this concept of nothingness is super obscure to so many people. I know in a lot of the Christian dialect there’s this idea of Jesus is everything, and so Jesus plus nothing equals everything. It is kind of an equation that they use in this, but this idea of nothing really brings to question, what does that mean? Does that just mean that if we have belief in something, whether it’s the Jesus story or something else, or maybe it’s not even belief per se, but, but an awareness of something else, something that exists bigger than us, is that belief enough? And the challenge is that I think the obvious answer is, well, of course, of course that belief is enough. However, in this world, we have a lot that isn’t that, and that isn’t built on that belief, or that isn’t built in faith. And so it creates some challenges. One of the conversations, we’d love to have here is in that Big F Faith process, and in that construct, so make sure you’ve checked out that IM series if you haven’t already.

But the idea of faith is weird. It’s an abstract concept. If we weren’t in awareness of that at times when we developed our personhood, our programs, our stories, our belief structures, the reality that we’ve created for ourselves, our relationships, then once we become aware that everything else has to get looked at, we can’t turn anything over in a sacrificial way, in a surrendering way, in a integrative way if we aren’t aware of it. And if we become aware of it and it’s built within a paradigm that is different from what we’re aware of now, it creates some dissonance. So you can expect some discomfort as you’re going through the process of pulling all of that forward to turn over and moving into this space where absolutely that faith plus nothing equals everything. But there’s some fine print there that I think some people just like to gloss over, and inevitably, we hit a solid wall because we can’t just gloss over it.

And so, this conversation is far deeper, is how I’ll explain it, far deeper, far broader, far more complex than how we typically like to talk about it, right? Like it or not, superficial conversations about religiosity or spiritualism or actualization just aren’t going to satisfy things as we see them now. There’s things are complicated, and they’re only getting more and more complex. So it’s super important that we have that really clear, intuitive channel with the divine to make sense or to simplify the complexity on some level for us so we know how to maneuver within it.
