Why Inner Emptiness Arises: The Method’s View

A feeling of inner emptiness is a common request, and the method looks at it not as a verdict but as a signal — showing where your energy goes and what you get back. The real question isn’t “what’s wrong with me” but “what gives me strength and what drains it.” Here is how the doctor explains where this state comes from.

Emptiness can’t be “sealed over” from outside

The temptation is to wall the emptiness off completely, so “no room is left.” But simple lamentations and readings, the doctor says, help little: “it gives nothing, just a con.” The problem isn’t a lack of information — there’s so much of it now that you can easily “drown” in it. Emptiness is filled not by the quantity of words but by what actually returns strength to you.

Where your energy is going

The core logic of the method: you stay alive and full when you give living energy to where it’s received and returned. The doctor uses a simple image: it makes no sense to give flowers to someone who hits you in the face with them — give them where you’re welcomed. When strength and means flow toward what doesn’t fill you, you start feeling like you’re “wandering through life.”

The informative phenomenon: something in you doesn’t disappear

The doctor distinguishes two aspects of a person: the bodily one and what he calls the informative phenomenon. This phenomenon has no “function to vanish or die” — there is simply no such information in it. Emptiness often appears where a person lives only by outer “induction” — imposed expectations, judgments, roles — and loses touch with this stable part of themselves.

When emptiness is part of an illness

The method draws an honest line: sometimes behind “emptiness,” lack of will, loss of energy and the feeling that one “suddenly went dull and dropped everything” lies a disturbance in cortical neuron function. Then self-explanation isn’t enough: “you have to understand what your problem is, why you have these symptoms — then prescribe proper therapy.” A specific state can’t be assessed remotely — that’s no cause for shame, but a reason to seek in-person help.

Why “it won’t get better” isn’t true

A frequent companion of emptiness is the conviction that nothing will change. The doctor answers plainly: “who said so? the one who stayed silent.” The method’s experience is that things can be different — and better than the person expects. Emptiness is not the end but a point from which energy can be redirected.

Practice

1. Name precisely where your strength, time and means have been going lately.
2. For each item, ask honestly: does it give me strength, energy, health — or take them away?
3. What drains you (“flowers you’re hit in the face with”) — consciously cut back.
4. What fills you and where you’re welcomed — strengthen and invest there.
5. If emptiness persists alongside lack of will, loss of energy and loss of interest — treat it as a signal to seek professional in-person help.
