For the one who has entered into God's rest has himself or herself rested from his or her work, even as God has rested from God's work.
*Hebrews 4.10

The emptiness I seek is the emptiness I am. Yet, if I seek this emptiness, who is seeking? This seeker is itself empty. I am called to this emptiness and find, in response, that this emptiness is fulness. The emptiness is not a void, but a Communion. In the emptiness I arise in the arising of you, in the arising of God. Why? To share, meaning to Love. There is no other purpose to life.
We are, and we are purposed to Love in Love. We are purposed to Love for we are Love, Love being not separate from us but That we are in God, Who is Love. There is no contentment apart from this Loving. This Love is the emptiness, the fulness.
In some way, what I call "God" is equally present in both emptiness and fulness, even as you and I are equally present in each other and God. Therefore, emptiness dissolves the illusion of the seeker that seeks to validate itself through seeking and finding. In this ceasing, I enter God's Rest, for there is no one and nothing to seek. Peace is present. Love is present. I am found by God. I am found by myself, in the Silence in which God finds me. I am found for found as One with God, and one with everyone before and beyond any sensation of being One. This is why I am, also, and you are I am, also, and our home is God, by whatever way we speak of that Love that gives us Itself freely, and fully. And here I have ceased the restless seeking, for I have come out of myself as myself into myself as in God. Or, better, God has, as Love, drawn me out of myself into who I am in God.

The presentations at this site cover a long time period. Each one represents part of an on-going Pilgrimage, and the writer's ideas, practices, and experience have changed over time. This change is the quality of any living Journey. Please read with this in mind, allowing the inner Teacher to speak to you as you need at this particular time in your own living Journey. Thanks!
