Frequently Asked Questions

I feel like something essential is missing from my life, but I can't name it.

This is the "Illusion of the Missing Piece," a common byproduct of an over-stimulated Reward system. It makes you believe meaning is "out there" and you just haven't found it yet. "When Nothing Is Missing" is a radical structural realization: you are already a complete human integrator. Meaning isn't a missing "part"; it’s the Coherence of the parts you already have.

If nothing is missing, why do I still feel empty sometimes?

Emptiness in this model is not a "lack of content," but a "lack of settlement." It’s the feeling of a system that is still "leaning forward" looking for a spike. When you stop the pursuit and allow the Settlement Phase to complete, the feeling of "missing something" dissolves. You find that the "fullness" of life was always there, just obscured by the frantic search for more.
