What is your take on the Void.

[Snoopy]

I interpret the Void as a plane of limitless potential, somewhat linked to the source or a palate for the source. Too many the mind can be seen as a Void, as much as a piece of clean paper. How do you interpret the Void into your workings and/or ideologies? I have my own knowledge and take on the topic at hand, I wish to stir up and see what can be made with such question.

I've always thought the concept of Kali's womb via Kaula tantra was a real-world example of The Void being embraced by a sorcerous few.

I have heard of this but personally never truly looked into it, I will today thank you brother.

It's just my UPG. I wouldn't say it's "traditional" in terms of a tantric sense. Just so you're aware.

The Void is empty, it is negation, the divine Feminine, Yin. Without it, the expression of Yang, of Life, would have nowhere to express itself, and nothing to dissolve into at its conclusion.

Like a song, the notes work with the eternal silence to make a melody. Can you imagine a song without any silence or pauses between notes? It would get annoying pretty fucking quickly.

The void is part of a whole, I use it in my work to re-center myself, pause, and most importantly to receive energy. It is easy to fall into it and get lost, just as easy as it is to get lost in the generative madness of Yang expression. The two work together, and the practitioner should use them as they are needed to maintain balance.

What is this "void" you are talking about?

IF you are referring to a region of space(-time), THEN a region of space that light penetrates is not a true void.

I see the void as nothingness.
It can be the spaces in-between "something" or it can be the true "nothing", which ends up becoming something since nothing can't truly be nothing as we give it a name and...you get my point.

(COMMENT)

I don't think there is any place in the known universe where some form of cosmic energy, most often electromagnetic energy (for example, Visible Light) is NOT Present. Remembering that there is a direct relationship between "mass" (the tangible) and "energy" (particle and waveform) • E = mc^2.

Even a Black Hole has a galactic coordinate for the singularity.

One million percent my same view.

The void is nothing. And nothing cannot exist. The same way you can't "have" 0 apples. You just don't have apples. It doesn't exist. The whole reason (in my estimation) that the universe (and we) exist, is because nothing can't possibly exist.

I mean, maybe it did/does/will exist. But it is inconsequential because it is nothing. It's a philosophical overthought and an exercise in cognitive excess.

That being said, the word "void" is just a word in the english language. As you have already done in the OP, you can assign any meaning you want to it. You could call the astral plane "the void" you could call a mirror universe "the void" you could call all those things "the warp" or whatever word you could think of.

It's meaningless to assign an unconventional definition to a word and then debate that word's definition.

How do you see the universe? What shape is it? Does it have a shell, an inside & outside? Because only that which is outside the universe could be nothing, but that would then be something, and then would that nothing have an end? What was before the big bang, nothing? Was there such a time?
