The zero state

Everything in the universe and in the mind has its origin in the zero state. Emptiness is what lies at the root of our existence. In this nothingness is found the absence but no one is found. We are always here in emptiness. Come back here into the void. Desire takes us outside the void. With the birth of desire arises the birth of the world from the void. The world is desire. Desire creates form. Desire creates thought. As long as the other is seen, there is misery. Supreme contentment is the absence of desire. Desire is absent in the absence of the other. Desire arises from the sense of the other.

As long as the other is seen, desire will exist. As long as desire exists, the world will exist. As long as the world exists, misery will exist.

To stop seeing the other, escape into the void. The zero state is that prior to desire. There is no one here at the zero state. To see the other is the birth of desire and the birth of misery. No peace is possible when the other is seen.

To see through the illusion of the other is to be free of desire.
