The "God-Shaped Vacuum"

"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through the Christ.” - Blaise Pascal , 17th century

That "God-shaped vacuum" is the divine-spark of the heart. It is the tiny spirit-spark atom composed of divine material not-of-this-world. This is the only part of the Divine that is within us. It is the seed from which the Immortal Other One can emerge, if, through self-surrender, neutralization of desire and not-being, we allow this Transformation to take place.
