No, for it is impossible to be sought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The pain, anguish, ego, lust, desire and harm of the shadow is one&#8217;s gatekeeper to reaching light.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Light is the result of purification, as it is darkness that is to be purified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">A baby must cry for its mother to tend to it, to love it and to feed it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The shadows one carries is always crying out. Can we be that attentive giver of love?<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The absolute holds no form. Yet, is everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">The emptiness is the alignment to the everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">To enter emptiness, one is not to be hollow. For what is hollow is only implied by desire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Emptiness holds no prerequisites of character. No bargaining or demand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Emptiness is entered without character. Without bargain or demand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Leave everything behind. Leave all that you believe is known, and emptiness will be your companion. Your entirety. As humility holds the alignment to becoming emptiness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">When empty. You are one of absolute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">Through the absolute, all is known without expressing. Without feeling. Without thinking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">This is the empty absolute. That which is nature residing in all of us when everything is stripped away. The void. The wholeness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><strong>Brad Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In absolute, there is mystery contained within the shadows that we not yet contemplate.<\/p>\n<p>The emptiness that we discard as nothing, holds the greatest secret to ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>We become moths seeking only the light escaping the darkness that is our template to reach salvation and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Should light not be what we seek?
