The world has a you-shaped hole in it.

It is missing what you see.

It lacks what you know

and so you were called into being.

To see the gap, to feel the pain of it, and to fill it.

How do you know that your message has not made an impact? The thing is most of the time we are not even aware of who we impact. Yes, our critics will be vocal but even that is having an impact. I feel that your you shaped hole has made a lot of impact in 55 years, it just may not be apparent in the way that you are looking for. Thank you for sharing your authentic and truthful voice.

I love this Tara. I look at it as a way of expanding what a you-shaped hole is. In my opinion, sometimes it is to challenge the status quo, other times it may be to show up as you, observe, serve and see what happens. Too often we go into something with an expectation of what the outcome will be and then turn away when things do not go exactly as planned. In my experience it is the unexpected twist that has lead to some of my greatest contributions. Many times it is years after the event when I recognize this. I believe that we are already resting in the hole; however, we may not be occupying the shape wholly.

I\u2019ve written before about my distaste for the Jonathan Haidt-style embrace of consequentialist religion - the kind that says that, while the truth claims of religion are obviously wrong, periods of near-universal religious observance were periods with more social cohesion and personal meaning, so we should all worship without actual belief. (If you think I exaggerate, click through to find Haidt\u2019s explicit words to that effect.) As has become a common and annoying response to just about anything I write, there was a set of readers who replied by saying, well, Haidt is just one guy, nobody actually thinks this way. At the time I countered that a lot of the \u201Ctrad Cath\u201D stuff that was popping up seemed to qualify, which was true. (I think those people have mostly moved on to cocaine now, and God bless.) Well, I can now say that there is definitely one other prominent person who believes in worshipping the God-shaped hole, and her name is Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

I was super heartbroken when I wrote this song, and my ex was dating this beautiful supermodel after dumping me in Clissold Park in North East London. I went through a bit of a wild phase, as one does, and was doing everything I could possibly do to feel better. At the time I had this image in my mind of a hole inside my body that was shaped exactly like my ex, and it was as if I was trying to fill that hole in any way I could, but the things I was filling it with never reached the corners or made me feel any better, they just cluttered my life.

As you have suggested many (most) non Christians seem pretty content in life and death. If they have holes, they fill them with meaningful relationships, a good education, meaningful work, an enjoyable social life, a hobby, charitable causes they contribute to with time and money. And many (apart from any Christian influence) are quite comfortable with the prospects for eternity.

Sure, there are disgruntled non Christians, many who have little hope, but that is no different from the many Christians who also experience broken relationships, poverty, a boring life that brings little joy. Would you really suggest that Jesus can fill the hole that many experience? The reality is, there are (as Steve suggests) fulfilled people with or without Jesus.

The holes that we fill are often filled with subjectivism, fulfilling a psychological need with hopes that religion (based on faith, not reality) will make a difference. That sounds like the case that Steve is trying to express in this article. Thanks Steve for a challenging article.

Yes, it is a very personal story. I don\u2019t know to what extent it\u2019s useful, but on a very personal level, I went through a period of crisis\u2014very personal crisis: of fear, anxiety, depression. I went to the best therapists money can buy. I think they gave me an explanation of some of the things that I was struggling with. But I continued to have this big spiritual hole or need. I tried to self-medicate. I tried to sedate myself. I drank enough alcohol to sterilize a hospital. Nothing helped. I continued to read books on psychiatry and the brain. And none of that helped. All of that explained a small piece of the puzzle, but there was still something that I was missing.

This is a strange development, though I\u2019m still not sure how much of a development it is. These are all highly educated people in elite circles, after all. Is there a grassroots version? Are ordinary people worshiping the God-shaped hole in hopes of producing a kind of Christendom 2.0 in defense of liberal society?

I\u2019m also not wholly sure what to make of it all. On the one hand, a peaceful, stable, and liberal society is exactly what I want, and surely new, if imperfect, openness to Christianity is a good thing? But on the other hand, there was much to critique in the first Christendom\u2014I am an Anabaptist, after all\u2014and surely Christians are failing people if we let them believe that the God-shaped hole is enough.

Moreover, superficially Christian culture can successfully stabilize politics while successfully inoculating the populace against actual Christianity. We saw this in Christendom, in fact. And \u201Cwhat shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?\u201D

There's a concept that I heard used many times throughout my life in regards to idolatry. The idea is that inside each of us is a "God-shaped hole"--a place inside of our hearts that only God can fill. If we try to put anything else in there, it won't fit (meaning, it won't fill the need we have inside of our heart/soul).

Since then, the concept has taken on a life of its own and the phrase "God-shaped hole," a close approximation of the concept, has been found throughout many Christian circles. (Recently, in 2002, a book was published with the title 'God-Shaped Hole'.)

22 Then Paul stood before the meeting of the Areopagus and said, "People of Athens, I can see you are very religious in all things. 23 As I was going through your city, I saw the objects you worship. I found an altar that had these words written on it: TO A GOD WHO IS NOT KNOWN. You worship a god that you don't know, and this is the God I am telling you about! 24 The God who made the whole world and everything in it is the Lord of the land and the sky. He does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 This God is the One who gives life, breath, and everything else to people. He does not need any help from them; he has everything he needs. 26 God began by making one person, and from him came all the different people who live everywhere in the world. God decided exactly when and where they must live. 27 God wanted them to look for him and perhaps search all around for him and find him, though he is not far from any of us.

As you can see, when God created humans, he wanted them to look around for him and search for him. This is one of God's plans, and in doing so, he created this "hole" that cannot be filled by any other: in short, that "God-shaped hole" was created by God for us to look for him.

The word "innermost being" is the Greek koilos, meaning hole or empty place. It is often translated belly or womb. In Jn 7, Jesus is describing a spiritual empty place in the heart of man, not a physical belly or womb. This empty place is the source of thirst and the divine solution to this hunger/thirst is to fill it with living water from the Holy Spirit.

I'm looking for a way to "cut" out a hole of a specific shape without converting my object to a solid, because highly detailed shapes are extremely difficult to reproduce accurately with the " make solid" tool.

One thing I thought I'd try is to select a small portion of the object, separate, and make-solid. Then do a boolean difference with an appropriate "hole-cutter" object. The problem is that I can't reunite that solid section with the full (not solid) original object.

I got some advice from a FB group to start by attaching a stencil pattern of desired shape. The idea is to assign a FaceGroup to the stencil area and then extrude or similar ops to get the hole. I will report back here later as to how accurate a shape-hole I can get -- and whether the "wrapping" of the stencil image to the object surface causes distortion.

Someone raised in a Hindu context is not going to have a white, American, Evangelical God-shaped hole in their heart. The message only works if you were raised in the church, or raised with even a vaguely Christian worldview.

Nietzsche had the courage to stare into the hole at the heart of our culture, and what he saw was emptiness. He saw that no stop-gap god, like Democracy, Compassion, or Enlightenment, could provide a replacement source of meaning. He saw that all values were ultimately null. He saw that there are no absolute truths. He saw that there can be no fundamental basis for ethics.

The failure of philosophy is the failure of our culture as a whole. Our ideas about how to live, available in our thought-soup, make sense only if there is some ultimate source of meaning; but there is none. That leaves us without a positive mode of existence. Fundamentalism and consumerism, however problematic, seem the only options.

Because God never existed, the hole in Western culture is not God-shaped. Nietzsche stared into that hole and saw emptiness; but where there is emptiness, there is also form. Dzogchen is the non-duality of form and emptiness. There is a Dzogchen-shaped hole in the heart of our culture. Perhaps now we can put the puzzle piece in place. e24fc04721
