The Solid Illusion: Finding The Fullness In The Empty Space

“FR. GLENN, HOW can we possibly ‘Enjoy Life’ now? Look at the world! Between the tensions of the USA, Israel, and Iran, and the skyrocketing prices of gasoline and basic commodities, everything feels heavy and hopeless.”

This was the honest question a friend asked me recently. 

My answer surprised them: “If we want to be happy, we must stop obsessing over what is happening outside us and start observing what is happening within us.”

We often feel weighed down because we perceive our problems – and the world itself – as “solid,” immovable mountains of stress. But here is a divine paradox: science reveals that the “solid” world we touch is actually 99.99% empty space! 

‘Instead of being crushed by “solid” inflation or “solid” conflict, we can choose to float in the Ocean of Bliss. Your inner world … is a reservoir of God’s infinite potential. When you change your internal frequency from fear to faith, the “solid” world around you begins to soften.‘

PREGNANT VOID

If you zoom into the atoms of your car, your money, or even your own body, you won’t find solid “stuff.” Instead, you find a “pregnant void” filled with vibrating frequencies and invisible energy.

This means that the “hardness” of life is an illusion. What we perceive as a solid crisis is actually a field of energy held together by the Blessed Trinity. 

The Father provides the information, the Son provides the focus, and the Holy Spirit provides the vibration. When we realize that the physical world is more like a shimmering ocean of light than a brick wall, our perspective shifts.

Instead of being crushed by “solid” inflation or “solid” conflict, we can choose to float in the Ocean of Bliss. Your inner world is not empty; it is a reservoir of God’s infinite potential. When you change your internal frequency from fear to faith, the “solid” world around you begins to soften.

FEEL MO? GAWIN MO.

Sometimes, we simply cannot deny it – feel mo? (do you feel it?

The world feels so incredibly heavy. It is as if every single step carries a burden that never seems to end. In those moments, remember that you are not alone because feel ko! (I feel it!) I feel you, my friend. 

But in the midst of that exhaustion, let’s try to look at a deeper truth: gets mo? (do you get it?) What we perceive as a “solid” problem is actually 99.99% empty space filled only by God! When gets ko (I get it!) that we are held by His infinite energy, our entire perspective shifts.

So, gawin mo (do it): take a deep breath and trust in the light of the Trinity that is always guiding us. Gagawin ko (I’ll do it) right along with you, and together, let’s enjoy life in the right sense!
