Till Death we see Emptiness

DE - Death and Emptiness (3 min read)


This morning I was flipping through an app while on my way to to have breakfast and I stumbled on an article on neuroscience.com.  The article which you can find here talks about mental health and emptiness.

Many times people who are into reading their natal charts or Bazi, get freaked out when they see DE in their charts. DE refers to death and emptiness. DE can occur in any of the 4 natal chart pillars or in the luck pillars.  I have looked at mine and they are sighted in my luck pillars. 

Looking at your own Bazi chart (natal and luck pillars included) offers you optics. I covered this in my first few blogs here. 

When DE is mentioned in one's reading, the person is mostly freaked out and worry incessantly about it. As a result,  the person spirals down wards due to the worry. 

In my opinion if Bazi offers you optics to see first before something can happen, why should you worry?  Instead it is better to have the optics and make plans for it or at least be prepared for it.

Some human beings are a strange lot of people these days. They behave in such a way that even they are presented with gold, they will not even recognise it and accept it. 

Let us look at what DE is like. It is the feeling of empty inside you or having a void which you are not able to describe. It parallels to what some people are feeling these days caused by the lock down or the non-stop lockdown situations in some countries.  Initially there is the tendency to feel one's wings being clipped and one has to stay put at home.  With the unfortunate continuous lock down situations in some places, some people are so affected by their external circumstances that they do not know how to feel anymore.

Emptiness can be feeling listless, feeling pointless, feeling hollow or feeling no motivation inside you which never seem to go away. That is what DE means in Bazi.

Can there be something which can be done for the inner void in us?

If you define emptiness, it is an abstract noun which means the void. So it is the void, it has no boundary nor size. However you will be surprised that some people can have degrees of emptiness. Amazing, right?

I think I mentioned in my earlier blog about celebrating one's small success in your own ways. I believe this is one way to fill up a fraction of that emptiness. 

The other action one can take is to adopt a mentality of awareness. In short it just means to be constantly aware. It is just like a lion which is always on the prowl for prey. So be aware of your own being and not zone out like a zombie.

Another action which you  can take to counter the DE in you is to become  spiritual. This just means having a deep sense of aliveness and connectedness to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred.  Some people define spirituality to religion which I believe should not be the way.

Last but not least, I believe feeling gratitude for the smallest things in your daily life can fill your inner void. Be grateful for the roof under your head, for the clean water that you can drink etc are what you can simply do. 

Remember that you do not have to do the big things like super heroes do in movies. You are only a mortal. Leave the big things only to the celluloid  heroes.

Feel gratitude and be grateful. Do unto yourself and unto others. DE will be gone for good.
