Cosmic Hole
In terms of the individual, when a deficient emptiness is accepted
it usually becomes displaced by the essential aspect lost, as
we have discussed. This applies to the cosmic emptiness as well.
If and when one remains with this universal deficient emptiness
it slowly starts filling out with the beautiful loving softness
of Cosmic Consciousness. The whole universe becomes filled with
this aspect of Being. The universe regains its soul. Both oneself
and the rest of the world are in one unified existence now, and
its beingness is the Conscious Presence. One realizes here that
the cosmic hole is due to the loss of the boundless conscious
Presence. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 441)
