Words From Shunya: A Blog From The Void Of The Heart

Words From Shunya.

Definition of Shunya : In Mahāyāna Buddhism, Shunya or Śūnyatā refers to the tenet that "all things are empty of intrinsic existence and nature (svabhava)",[4][5] but may also refer to the Buddha-nature teachings and primordial or empty awareness, as in Dzogchen, Shentong, or Zen.

Several years ago, a dear friend and mentor told me that a large part of my path was ‘to let silence speak’. Articulating the spiritual path has always been a challenge and fascination for me. There is simply so much there, and so much to be said, and yet nothing all at once, an emptiness so full the mind is stopped and transfixed in awe of the richness of silence. The corpus of collective wisdom is endless and writing itself can be a mediation and timeless reverie of its own. In this historical period fo transition from an old structure to something yet unknown, the world is in need of ancient and universal spiritual wisdom like never before. Below are some articles and essays on a range of topics from Eastern Spirituality, view on Yoga, the integration of modern science and self-help movement and visions for a better future. They are pieces of the puzzle and due to the short form of essays and articles, read separately only present a facet of the ‘thousand-sided diamond’ of our true nature. Keeping this in mind when reading will be of a great help and eventually I trust all the dots will connect!
Enjoy and if they resonate please comment and share on other platforms.

BREAK FREE FROM THE PRISON OF MEDIOCRITY

Mediocrity is the modern prison cell that we voluntarily lock our selves into. Without going down a rabbit hole of conspiracy and the deeper source of mediocrity, we can all agree that mediocre thoughts and paradigms are the statusquo and the currency of our modern life.

ESTABLISH A PILLAR OF LIGHT IN THE CENTER OF YOUR MIND

Every action in your life is inspired by a single driving force. Establishing a grand idea that regulates and gives perspective to every other thought and idea can change the direction of our souls.

RE-DREAM YOUR LIFE FROM THE GROUND OF BEING

Every single moment of our life is an opportunity to re-dream our lives. The more aware you become, the more you realize that every single thought shapes our experience of reality.

TRUST YOUR HEART AND RUN WITH IT

Courage is the deep knowledge in the heart that our fears are baseless and the countless thoughts swirling around them are like crows swirling around the landfill. Fear, ultimately, is born of the belief in illusion, and Courage is born of a conviction of the Truth.
