Meditation: Nothingness

A Nothingness Meditation Of July 4, 2025
(Friday, American Independence Day, 2025)

I meditated earlier today and had many mind-altering, in-trance “views” that I thought I needed to get down in writing before I’d forget. However, after today’s meditation, I got involved in responding to a message I’d received yesterday and then one thing led to another such that the day has been slipping away.

However, I’m going to attempt to put my focus back on the impressions of the today’s meditation and get them down in writing before they slip completely away from my consciousness.

Meditations, lately, have been regarding a focus on absorption into the I AM THAT I AM and a dissolving away from the ego-self, the “I,” the “my,” and the “mine.” Also a common theme of my meditations, generally, has been “letting go.” So, putting all this together, today’s meditation means letting go of I, me, mine.

This particular meditation also took me back to images that I had in 1983. In meditations back then, I “saw” myself repeatedly jumping off of high cliffs where I could not see a bottom. I saw myself leaping into unknown chasms, abysses.

Then, today, I saw myself also jumping, leaping off a high cliff from the solid ground of the physical world. But then the scene became a little bit different from back in 1983. In 1983, I could feel myself falling and falling. I think that this falling had to do with me having accepted a change in employment in the physical world.

Today, when I leapt, I didn’t fall anywhere. Instead, I felt the physical world merely doing the falling. It seemed as if I were staying stationary in an unknown void. Then, I became aware that the void was actually the I AM THAT I AM.

I had jumped, leapt into the I AM THAT I AM! I saw visual images of what I’d been meditating about for quite sometime. I jumped, leapt into a void of absorption, dissolving, where self-identification, self-awareness, and self-centeredness were mysteriously no longer present.

At this point, NOTHINGNESS became apparent. I perceived that I AM THAT I AM is NOTHING. I had become nothing and was a part of a greater NOTHING. There was NOTHING for the duration of the 30-minute meditation. . . .
