ABSTRACT
Void, being a condition of nothingness or a lack, implies the state before or the state after, a not having had or a loss of what has been had. It suggests too the act of getting rid of something, either emptying oneself in the Buddhist sense or getting rid of excrement. The void is almost palpable beneath them, and its potential for being deforming, through entanglement with the very roots of being, apparent. The void has a shore or edge, on the void side of which there is nothing that is known or has been known or, this is the feeling, will be known. This space is outside of our awareness or our experience or our memory. It may seem that the world of our conscious perceptions is a kernel within that void, rather than that the void is encapsulated within our consciousness.
