THE GAP

The Gap perhaps is the most elusive space for human beings to enter which is located between our thoughts.

Usually, we stay on one thought until another one takes over, leaving very little unused space. The spaces between our thoughts are brief, and seldom does anyone wonder what it would be like to have fewer thoughts, or what we’d find in the void between them. But the paradox is obvious. Thinking about what it would be like to be in the hole between our thoughts… is just another thought. Rather than expanding that space between, we move on to more thoughts. So why should we concern ourselves with entering the elusive gap? Because everything emerges from the void.

This space or this gap is AWARENESS. We may call this space also “Consciousness”. We may call “love”. There is only one love. Ordinarily, we tune in to that love from time to time; or we get glimpses of it and shout, Oh I’m in love! But some love is always fully present, whether we are aware of it or not. We have the capacity to be in love all the time – and not in an ordinary sense, but in an extraordinary sense.
