Hello. I was recently in a Buddhist country, Tibet, and reconnecting with some of the teachings of the Buddha. And I wanted to comment on one concept, Buddhist concept, from an Earth Wisdom perspective.

And it's the concept of 'emptiness'. The Buddha actually called called it Sunyata. And when I first heard about this, I didn't really understand this. I thought it was a mental concept. Sunyata. Now, in Earth Wisdom, we speak a lot about the creator, the creatress and the creator. The feminine and the masculine, as being part twin energies of Creation.

And the feminine, the deep feminine, being the void, the 'all potential', the space, the spaciousness, from which all things are born. From which everything emerges, trees, river, sun, sky, humans. We all emerge from this void of 'all potential'.

In our teachings, we speak of the creation story, and it starts that in the beginning was the great great grandmother, Wakan. The feminine, 'all potential', the void, whole and complete in every way. And from this birthing place emerged the masculine, this life force energy that began to move things into form.

So I think now looking back at the teachings of the Buddha and other Indian Hindu Jain philosophers, this concept of Sunyata, emptiness, they were talking about the same thing. This void of 'all potential'.

All of that might sound like nice ideas, but what is the practicality of it? I think the practicality of it is that we can access that state of consciousness when we want to create something, when we want to seek inspiration, when we want to seek healing, when we want to seek a good way.

The wisdom of how to respond to our challenges, in a life affirming way, then it's good to be able to access the inner state of 'all potential'. And we're really talking about spaciousness. Spacious awareness.

So in other videos, I've talked about different methods of really dropping in to that space. And you know, one way is to really meditate or to notice the breath, to notice the life force within us, to notice the whole field of vision around us, and notice our thinking, when the thinking comes up.

But also to see the spaces between thoughts. And then we access this spaciousness. We can't think our way into it, by the way, we can only give our attention to the space between thinking. And the more we give our attention to that, the more it grows in us. So we can access that. It's not so difficult. Might take a little bit of practice, but we can do it. So I recommend Sunyata, the void of 'all potential', as a way to deepen our own wisdom. Thanks for watching.
