Many people feel their lives are empty and without any meaning. They just exist day to day without being able to do much in life. Some even question why they are on this earth.
“Emptiness of Lives” was defined by Carl Jung in psychology, as the profound sense of inner void and meaninglessness that an individual feels, when they are disconnected from their real authentic self. This emptiness is not simply a lack of external stimulation or achievement but a symptom of living inauthentically – what is called living through the persona – the social mask shaped by societal expectations and external validation – rather than embracing the true self.
Jung observed that many individuals experience a pervasive feeling that life has lost its joy and meaning despite external success or comfort. This emotional numbness and dissatisfaction often signal a crisis within the person. The roots of this emptiness lie in the suppression of the self and a failure to engage with one’s inner world – a disconnection from personal meaning and individuality.
How to find out your individuality – who you really are, what do you really want and desire, and personal meaning – what’s your purpose here on this earth? Is it even possible?
Meditation is what helps you discover this for yourself. The ancient sages knew that the connection between the real self and the outer world helped the individual tremendously. Hence, they laid emphasis on meditation – the easiest way to connect with your inner self.
