We should be empty of clutching, empty of self, empty of all the old ideas of substance. We should be โlost in the objectivity of world-loveโ, as I have elsewhere put it; or, perhaps better, we should let ourselves be only an empty space filled with brightness. Life lived like that is โeternalโ life.
Don CupittRemember that the past fifty years has been the age of the Big Bang cosmology. We have learnt to see all reality as a slow-motion explosion, as pouring itself out and passing away, as dissemination. We live in a postmodern epoch in which there is nothing absolute, nothing permanent and nothing substantial.
