The Void

Inner Spaciousness and Ego Structure

"The Void, in a remarkable and direct way, introduces us to the space or ground of mind within which mental structures operate. [Almass] shows how inner spaciousness can be experienced in somatic, psychological and spiritual ways, details some of the many levels of inner space and, more importantly, illustrates how these experiences of space can lead to fundamental healing and integration of our being." - Jack Kornfield
