But there's also the complete void, such as being aware without focus, in the present.
This has been void for me for past few days since i have increased void.
Just being aware without any point of concentration. Its hard to explain,theres nothing, you dont even focus on the blackness of eyelids not anywhere on the body but you become aware of yourself.
Just the feeling of being here and controlling your brain to bring back to awareness of being here over and over again,it is tougher than sound/visualize/point of focus void,when you hit your limit of brain with this kind of void its so hard to control it.
Drifting away in thoughts is also much easier in this kind of void.
But i feel like its more effective than point of concentration void.
Yes it can be awesome it can also be scary and unpleasant.
When I was not even a teen, I would meditate and linearly accomplish this void meditation by simply manipulating my thoughts. Instead of discarding the thoughts I would concentrate and become immersed in an awareness quest.
Would expand my concept of me, the people, the earth and focus on them as a whole. First me, then the city then the country then the Earth. Then I would ask myself what would existence be if I am not alive, but what if earth is not existent, then the solar system, then the galaxy, then the whole universe. As soon as I reached the universe not existing, my brain would simply not compute and shut down in the most brutal void feeling ever. I would stay very little time in that feeling as it was very unpleasant and powerful. You cannot have thoughts in that state of being even if you will it, without returning back.
Now that I matured, the above, as I began again to attain it, came harder to achieve in time yet I understand the power and the pleasantness on a mature view and experience. The above is one small technique that can work on empathic people. There are many ways to reach it but truly is is something of a conscious breakthrough and another way of existing that is not apparent until you reach it.
