Nothing and the usual something

Along the path of truth, whenever I move as far as I can, I end up to the same point: a completely empty place, with nothing at all.

No truth, no belief, no God, no vision, no teacher. Absolutely nothing and nobody, not even me.

Since I am still rather embarrassed about all this nothingness and feel in need of something, I still keep looking for something when I reach the furthest point I can reach on the path of truth, but there is no way I can find anything. Hence I move back to the other spaces, where I can find spirit guides, angels, forgiveness, love, power, joy, relationships and more controversial or unpleasant things.

Yet I know that once I move back, after a while I become dissatisfied about what I find. Then again, I move on along the path of truth, till I reach the same empty place again, where there is just nothing. Every time I keep repeating the same story. It is either nothingness or the usual something.

Tired of doing so, I ask the empty place if there are other alternatives apart from nothingness and the usual something.

The reply, if I heard it well, is:

“If you want something alternative, do it yourself!”
