To become the void is to transcend the physical and tangible, venturing beyond existence into the realm of nonexistence. Yet, within this state, existence persists. You remain aware of your presence where nothing else exists, and you remain tangible where everything else is not. This is a state of mind where one seeks to isolate one's own essence from the world, striving to understand one's true identity.
However, to shatter the void is to fully embrace and acknowledge who you are, then move beyond it, casting it aside. This is done for one purpose only: to find yourself after the void has been shattered. A very convoluted way to say that you basically evolved beyond your current limits. And it is that very state I'm trying to achieve.
