Another thought I've been having about fullness is the thought of emptying to receive fullness. It seems the less I know about the ways fullness can come to me, the more readily that fullness is able to arrive in my life. Accepting the empty, Unknown, quality of my life's unfolding seems to facilitate the unfolding process. It's as if I have stepped out of the way of its coming to me, and so it flows freely to me. This is not to say that I have no participation in this process. I am the person actually living my life, and having the experiences of my own true life. In addition, I ask for guidance and assistance along the way, and in so doing, I am able to co-create this process with All That Is. I cannot imagine a way of living life that provides any more fullness than this.
"Above all else, then,be prepared at all times for the gifts of God, and be ready always for new ones.For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive.As God is omnipotent in deeds so the soul is equally profound in the capacity to receive.If a cask is to contain wine, you must first pour out the water; the cask must be bare and empty.Therefore, if you wish to receive divine joy and God, first pour out your clinging to things.Everything that is to receive must and ought to be empty."
--Meister Eckhart
