      Perhaps the trick is more to realise that "emptiness" is the natural state of affairs, and that it is the Self that is the illusion?

      Emptiness doesn't need to be "filled" with anything - emptiness leaves room for things just to be.

          Hi MM

          I really enjoyed reading your story. It does sound like you have led an interesting life. I am sure it's great to know you in person.

          And I think what Satori said is true.

            Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them, but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

              Wow Wow wow ... MM - I'm speechless. You are an amazing lady. Mozart and many other amazingly creative people had huge life problems and addictions to overcome. It comes with the territory of being brilliantly creative. I know you are going to come out of this experience better, stronger, wiser than you ever could be if you hadn't lived so much of your life under this oppression. I can relate to SO much of what you say here. Thank you for sharing your heart here.

              Blessings to you MM
