They lied to you about the Void (and that's why you never get there)
(some words are misspelled as I had to use a translator)
Many of you believe there's a secret formula to reaching the Void. You think you'll experience the same thing as everyone else and that if you don't, you haven't arrived.
That you have to do a million things to achieve it.
Our minds, in a sense, are stupid.
They believe everything, absolutely everything, and sometimes misinterpret many things.
I've reviewed, analyzed, and questioned countless old posts right here (Tumblr) on the subject of the Void, and many people (myself included) who share their experience with the Void and give advice on how to reach it are misinformed (again, not out of malice, but out of a lack of process, experience, and knowledge).
Let's start with some beliefs and information shared by many of you in the manifestation and spirituality community for over four years:
Of course it is, the difficult part is the process you must first undergo to make manifesting easy.
No, it's not about "deciding" to reach the Void and repeating affirmations to yourself until you become stressed and feel worse (you and I both know that when you affirm yourself, you feel horribly bad, stressed, anxious. Why? Because you know what you're repeating to yourself is a lie).
All the people who say they "decide" to reach the Void but still feel stressed, anxious, frustrated, etc., haven't decided a damn thing. Stop fooling yourselves.
Truly give up. You will get there until you stop wanting to reach the Void. Let yourself be, surrender. Don't do it with the goal of expecting something in return. If you expect something in return, let it be relaxation and connection with yourself.
People who say they've "given up" but keep trying haven't given up. Look for the meaning of "giving up."
The best position to relax while trying to reach the Void is to sit up straight, cross your legs, and place your hands on your thighs 🧘♀️ (although it sounds uncomfortable, it isn't. Stick your butt out a little, gently arch your back, and push out your chest a little). Based on my experience and research, lying down doesn't help.
The Void is nirvana (people's experiences), it's the quantum field (Joe Dispenza), the lattice (Jacobo Grinberg). The Void is the womb of the universe.
No, you won't see fireworks, an infinite number of colors, you won't see space, stars, etc. The Void State isn't really that big of a deal in the sense that you'll see all of that or feel like you're flying, etc. The only universal sensations that everyone will feel when they reach the Void are happiness, peace, you'll feel complete (you won't even want to manifest your desires anymore), you'll feel great, powerful, one with everything. You won't feel like you're flying. Yes, maybe you'll float, but the most common feeling is light. Don't torment yourself for not experiencing what others said they experienced when they reached the Void.
The line between you and the Void is meditation (a meditation of at least 30 minutes).
No, you can't eliminate negative beliefs in seconds, or days. I hate that people try to force that lie on you. Eliminating negative beliefs takes at least two weeks, because beliefs are lifelong, they are mental habits, and it's proven that a habit is created and changed in at least two weeks.
No, you don't need to do stupid "methods" to get there (the lullaby method, listening to subliminals, binaural beats, rolling your eyes, pretending to be an idiot, etc.)
- Hey Mimi, but does all that work? 😳
Of course it does, but do you really want to do all that to get there? Or do you prefer to relax, accept, and meditate to get there? No problem.
I tell you with all my heart: getting to the Void is very easy.
No, you shouldn't follow instructions.
You think that if this person did "this" and managed to get there, then it's the right way, it's the key. And you see those posts and don't see them for what they are: advice; you see them as instructions.

ALL ABOUT THE VOID STATE:
I just returned from the void and wanted to write this blog right away. In this post, I'll talk about how I felt, what method I used, the things I noticed, and some tips I developed. (Here, just pay attention to the underlined parts.)
It's quite long, but please read it in its entirety, as it contains really valuable information that I haven't seen anywhere else.
I've been trying to enter the void state for about two months because I wanted to discover new ways to shift states, and today I entered the void!
In my experience, it was absolutely fantastic and peaceful. In some cultures, the void state is explained as becoming one with everything around you. I couldn't quite understand what that meant when I was first starting to explore the shift in state. I also couldn't fully grasp it the first time I entered the void (I could only stay there for a few seconds :/). But today I felt what it means. It's not a sensation I can explain in words, but something you must experience for yourself to understand.
So how did I do it? Simple: I reprogrammed my mind. And no, you don't need four days or a month to reprogram your beliefs; it can be done literally in seconds. I simply wrote down my old beliefs about entering the void state and then crossed them out with a red pen until I felt completely free of them. Then, I wrote my new beliefs (affirmations) on another piece of paper and accepted them as my own. (You might think that for it to work, it has to be done with a red pen, but that's a lie. As I already said, there's a process for you to change your beliefs, for you to manifest "quickly," etc. First, there's a process. What's the process? I'll explain that in more detail in another post.)
These are some of the affirmations I wrote down and highly recommend:
- Entering the state of emptiness is an ordinary practice.
- The state of emptiness has always been too easy for me to achieve.
- I can enter the state of emptiness in a matter of seconds.
- I enter emptiness every night, so why couldn't I do it now?
After feeling happy and in tune with my new beliefs, I simply lay down and did a quick, relaxing meditation. Then, I played a subliminal with epsilon waves and focused on my breathing. After a while, I was there. (Bingo, here it is. You don't see the experience this person is sharing as an experience or advice. I'm sure many of you who read this post, which I used as an example, said to yourselves, "Oh, so today I'm going to do the same thing this person did. It worked for them, so it must work for me too. That's the key.")
What I realized after this experience was the importance of understanding what emptiness is before trying to enter it.
It's essential to research emptiness and explore the different approaches people have had on the subject beforehand. (Of course, yes, you should see different experiences, but not because you're going to recreate them, but simply to learn more about the topic.)
I'm not saying you should do it; it's not necessary.
This is your journey, and your beliefs create the results. So, if you think you can enter the state of emptiness after seeing it in a couple of TikTok posts, you can do it! (Lie, if it can work if it's the first time you've heard about it, why? Since you haven't had a single negative experience with the subject yet, how does that work? Well, for people who have failed at reaching the Void, they already have negative beliefs about the subject. They're afraid of failing again, and they limit themselves to the self—very different from what someone who's just starting out and wants to try would feel. This person doesn't have a single past experience that makes them afraid of failing. That's why this simply works for newcomers and for those who've already gone through an internal process. Again, I'll talk about the "process" in another post.
So, what is emptiness? In my understanding, emptiness is a state of mind where you're disconnected from everything that defines you as you. You're in a place where you're completely separate from all the titles and qualities that have been assigned to you throughout your life. Your name, your personality, your appearance, where you live... None of these things define you in the void, because you're free of them. Therefore, to reach the void, you must let go of your identity. This is what makes the void so peaceful and special.
When you're there trying to reach the Void and you remember you read that you had to ignore your surroundings, you're controlling, and the best part (irony) is that you won't be able to ignore them.
When you're there trying to reach the Void and you make thousands of statements to yourself:
- I am pure consciousness
- I am everything and nothing at the same time
When you're there trying to reach the Void and you ask yourself, "Why do I keep listening to my surroundings? Have I reached it? Why don't I feel the same as this person wrote on Tumblr? Then I haven't arrived because I don't see fireworks, I'm not flying, and I'm not dancing with God." You're controlling.
And I have more examples 😩
Have you heard that saying that you want the forbidden more?
Well, that's how the brain works. If you tell yourself "NO, don't do it," you'll do it more. If you tell yourself:
- ignore the symptoms to reach the Void
It will be harder for you to ignore the "symptoms" (which, I repeat, aren't even as extreme as people say).
That's why some signs say
"AVOID" littering and not "DON'T" litter.
(By the way, this does have a scientific basis.)
Wegner's ironic effect, also known as the white bear effect: when you try to actively suppress a thought, it ends up becoming more persistent.
Classic study example: if you're told "don't think about a white bear," you'll think exactly about that.
