What is "the void" actually?

Thanks. I’ve never completely understood what I saw that day. I’ll have to research more.

i can help you to understand it better.

Try to go into a meditation,
rolling the gaze of your eyes inside your body,
and pulling it down into your stomatch.

With your awareness inside your stomatch,
focus on the image of the pure blackness of the cosmos without any stars inside it.

just a deep dark glow,
that starts to throw shades.

Once those errupt into forms,
observe worms and eels crawling and eating holes into that blackness.

And the more holes you see,
the more stars shine into the universe,
you’re observing.

that’ll get you in contact with that feeling and that plane again.

remain calm,
and bring one such eel back with your awareness.

Project it in front of you,
and place it into a gem.

Then,
place that gem on a sigil and give it incense,
so you can start utilizing the idol.

-. whenever you evoke the idol,
observe the eel growing tall into a full being or a snake.

Whenever you banish it,
shrink it back it’s eel form into the idol.

I may try that in the future. Although that’s not the sort of place I’m ready to go back to in my current state. The darkness has been pretty strong with me the past couple of days as it is, I’m not ready to dive deeper [yet].

sure, it’s not wise to hesitate such an undergoing.

write it into your journal,
so you find it when you grown more comfortable.

I hesitate consciously but the Deities always end up pushing me into these realms if they see fit.

I will, thank you.
Edit*
Oddly enough, right after making this post I decided to watch a YouTube video and one of the first things the maker of the video said was “let go of what anchors you and cut loose into the deep”.

I’m still working on this idol, but the cube should already allow you to utilize it as an portal / tesseract.

Would you say then, that the void-abyss is both entropy and an infinite force of “undefined potential energy”?

For example, the concept of everything in the universe holding “all of existence inside it” is something I like. So when I look water, I see an oxygen and two hydrogens. Protons neutrons electrons. Those are defined forces. But the space in between, the void/nothingness, that would be “the abyss” or “the void” which is both absolute 0 (entropy) and infinite “undefined” potential energy.

Do I understand this correctly?

i think i gave more than one answer tho that question.

VAST EMPTYNESS. Entropy.

That’s what i personally understand as “void”.

'When i look at water,
is see a surface,
and may it reflect,
or not,
i can see a whole lot INTO that water.

Water was one of the original forms of scrying.

But why would i teach anyone on scrying in a water bowl today?

People are way to inpatient for such skills.

Hmm. Alright. As I mentioned before I think The Dreaming and The Void/Abyss are playing pretty much the same role but with different metaphysical map setups. I’m trying to figure out a way if they can both coexist, but I dont think its possible. I was just looking for some extra clarification cuz if void isn’t 0=infinite undefined then it’s simply impossible. Which is fine; it just means I have another way of looking at things. I’ll be thinking about which one works better for me; one of my life goals is to create a personal metaphysical map so I’m looking for other ways of interpreting things. Thanks for explaining what you did tho.

Even if it does mean 0=undefined infinity then theres still a few issues… it gets messy.

your mind,
can not go where we dwell" - wasn’t that a quote from belial or amymon or something along those lines?=

And it’s a fact.

These are emotions.

Like hunger, and tiredness, and pain.

They aren’t logical.

Yes! Emotions aren’t meant to be logical. But that’s what The Dreaming is too. Kinda. When The Dreaming manifests outside of The Dreaming it manifests as “dreamtime fabric” which is illogical and emotional. But when you go to the Dreaming there is no logic and no emotions. Nothing.
Edit: logic isn’t actually the right word. Consciousness might be better.

However there are Dreaming gods that work from the Dreaming and they are 100% logical.

First of all - the Abyss that is part of the Qliphoth is NOT to be confused with the Void. We should really try and not say the Void when talking about the Abyss of the Qliphoth.

“Before light came darkness, and before darkness there was the Void.”

The Void is indeed the primordial soup of creation. It is thick darkness.

I was just there. Allowed myself to fall into the darkness of Void and tried to draw it into me to use it in our reality. Saw the thick complete darkness. It was a bit scary since you could not see what was in there, and I have been a bit frightened by the book “The Deplorable word” that says the Void see our physical reality as an abomination and wants to devour it. Also, that book says the Devil, the Dark Mother and other niceties dwell there. Every time I got a bit frightened I redrew from me and I had to chase it, but when I got a taste of it it was yummy. Don’t know if something was protecting me or if it was.

That’s all well and good, but in the creation story for my metaphysics, “colorless” came first, then white (not light as in photon), then black/darkness was created from shadows once “things” were created. White is the be all end all primary color because it emits itself and is the primary masculine that may be split into masculine and feminine; black is not feminine because it is shadow and isn’t absorbent, just a shadow. Believe it or not I actually use black holes to represent an aspect of the Divine Masculine. Represents a god whose name cant remember but it translates to “he who grabs and controls”.

Not tryna argue creation stories, but this is just an example of why Void and The Dreaming wouldn’t work together is all. I have no doubt that both metaphysics work very well though. I’m not even a religious person btw; I just use the setup I do because it works for me.

The void has been seen as pure whiteness or pure darkness depending on who has experienced it. For me it’s always been pure darkness (void of light) while to a friend it has been just whiteness.

if you’re sitting in front of a piece of paper.

or a desktop.

But not in nature.

the White space i remember as “room zero”,
where basically the architect sit’s and gives form to things arising from the elements present and available.

Yeah I know that, but The Dreaming isn’t exactly “natural”. Its technically the most natural thing there is, but compared to the test of the turtle shell it ain’t natural at all. Totally unworldly. The white and black are more metaphorical anyway; when utilizing dreamtime magick it’s actually not really neccessary to worry about “natural” things and how things work on the rest of the turtle shell. This is because The Dreaming is illogical, emotional, etc, so the “input command” doesn’t have to be logical. Then, it acts as a sort of translator so the “output result” manifests logically. Metaphors that aren’t real in the “natural world” get narrowed down and translated into their most fitting “natural world” equivalent if that makes any sense.

Consequently it also acts as a sort of launchpad that one can use to travel to other worlds, perhaps even worlds that are outside the turtle shell. It can find things/places for you via logical or illogical inputs and translate them into things you can understand as you go there.

A good example would be the color magenta. Technically we dont have the biology to actually “see” the color magenta because magenta has no place on the color spectrum. From that standpoint its not a “real” color, BUT our brains fabricate a color for it because it cant comprehend green in between purple and red. So we get a “fake” or “dreamtime” color. That’s the essence of what The Dreaming does.

Your white “room zero” intrueges me though… The Dreaming is a Cosmic Architect’s playground…

well, my sleeptime is reserved for processing evokations and astral travel.

But i think i understood now,
and i’m familiar with the type of practice you speak of.

however, i know it as lucid dreaming.

I suppose, you somehow use the dream state to pre-code reality,
just like we do in ritual and spellwork.

The void is all that isn’t, wasn’t, and never will be. It’s the ultimate form of entropy, but also the primordium from which creation springs forth
