It’s been a bit over a month since my last post as I’ve been very busy with my part time work, own business, and other activities. It feels like I’m getting into a routine now so I can get back to my personal and spiritual development.
Last post I left off at verse 9 and 10 of the Tao Te Ching. Today I’m continuing with the eleventh verse of the Tao Te Ching as interpreted by Dr. Wayne W Dyer. The eleventh verse describes the void that is found in everything and is that which makes up the essence of all things. The space or the emptiness that is imperceptible but still there. Just like a room is surrounded by walls it wouldn’t be anything without the space that is found in the centre, or the same goes for a clay pot or a vessel. All of them have a void which makes up the essence of what it is.
This is also true of people. We are made up of all kinds of molecules and layers upon layer of tissue. Seperate pieces of the body are not who we are. The imperceptible void, or our soul, like the space in a room, is our essence, who we are.
Being aware of this void and practicing our connectedness to it daily brings out the true essence of who we are. This can be done through many exercises but meditation is a very common practice to connect with our soul.
