There is a need for balance between nothingness and "being-ness."

Bede Griffiths is into something.  It is important in the spiritual life to experience nothingness. It creates freedom and humility. It fosters kindness and compassion. Before we can experience nothingness we need to acknowledge something-ness about ourselves. We go from something to nothing.  That something can be nothing e.g. i am not better or worst than others. I am not even different than others. I am who I am.  This is the nothingness that I practice.
