Nature Abhors a Vacuum?

Today, during my morning spiritual practices, I felt the need to change things up a bit.  Some of the things I usually do in the morning, I decided not to do, it was like an inner knowing.  I didn't pray out loud like I usually do, except when I got to the interval when I usually pray in tongues.  I prayed on the inside, I could feel the words of my daily morning prayers percolating in my mind and body as I began to become one with them.  I decided to meditate a little longer.  I usually meditate in 2 intervals of 15 minutes during the week (I meditate longer on the weekends) in the morning.  Today, I meditated for 15 minutes and then 2 intervals of 10 minutes and that really felt good.  Then something prompted me to take an Angel Card Reading.  I usually only do those readings, when I feel called to, because when using divination tools, such as Angels Cards, dice or number readings, etc., you must really be clear or your messages will be muddy.  The card I received was Angel Bridgette and the card looks like this....

Card Message:

"Caution is warranted.  Look deeper into this situation before proceeding further"

Now I guess that's why I felt the need to change up my practice a little this morning.  The part of the message on the other side of the card that stuck out to me was "nature adhors a vacuum"..."create a vaccum."  The reason this part of the message stuck out for me was because during a phone conference I was involved in on learning how to manifest more income into your experience, the teacher was talking to another student about her experiences for the past week and she said "don't forget, nature abhors a vacuum." It wasn't the first time that I had heard that phrase and I never understood what that meant.  Since I didn't want to interrupt the main point she was trying to get across to the young lady she was speaking to, I just remained quiet.  Now, two days later I see the words again.  I decided to look up the phrase and this is what I got...
First I looked up "What does the phrase 'nature abhors a vacuum' mean?" and I quote,

Proverbial Meaning: Empty space is unnatural, or empty space (perhaps in one's life) will soon be filled.

Literal Origins: Nature will always try to fill up an empty space. Every part of the Earth, no matter how remote, will usually have some form of natural life living there. A vacuum has no air, therefore nothing can live there.

Common Usage: This proverb is not very well known, but may be used occasionally by someone observing a living creature or plant surviving in a seemingly inhospitable environment. Or it may be used to express the oddity felt when seeing a place devoid of nature.

Then I looked up "How to create a spiritual vacuum?" and I quote,

I want us all to look deep inside today. I want us to think about the activities and preoccupations that fill our lives. I want us all to think about the major preoccupation. Is it our family? Our school? Our social-life? What is taking up the largest chunk of our lives?

I firmly believe that all of us have some vacuum inside us that, like all other vacuums, calls for air. But this vacuum is not like a natural vacuum, it is a spiritual one. It needs to breathe the air of commitment. Look to your life and that of those around you. You will find that we have all adopted some "religion" which we believe in and work for in order to accomplish some final aim - a form of paradise.

In this pursuit, we are easy-going, relaxed or even fanatical. But all of us have one aspect of our lives that we are "fanatical" about. There is one major area that takes our time, our energy and our emotions.

Look to the hard-core sports fan. He spends his life supporting specific teams, financially, physically and emotionally. He attends every game, either in person or vicariously over the TV. He buys the memorabilia. He is devastated when they lose, and he reaches Paradise when they win... Sounds strange. We need to just change the way we look at it. This person is completely preoccupied with sports because his life lacks something else. This is how he has chosen to fill that spiritual vacuum.

We can do this with our families, our friends even our studies.

How many of us believe that if we spend years studying every night, get accepted to the best college, work hard to please our professors, get the best grades and graduate, we will be practically guaranteed an easy life. Money, status and respect will all be ours for the price of a few well invested years? We can make this into a religion in itself with study rituals and sincere belief in the Paradise that follows which fuels us on those long nights awake, studying.

Now, I am not saying that we can't enjoy sports or our families or our studies... That would be ludicrous. I am saying that when we go to fill that spiritual void inside, we need to be careful about how we fill it. That void is the natural fit-rah - that desire to find our Creator and worship Him. It is the desire to know why we are here, and what we are supposed to do with our lives.

The only way to fill that void is by finding and worshiping Allah (God). The other day, I heard a brother say, "No matter what; we must always remember: Islam does not need us. We need Islam." How true. Islam does not need us. Allah(God) does not need us. Allah(God) is the self-sufficient:

Now I don't particularly practice Islam, but both my parents did at a time, before they had even conceived me.  However,they brought my sisters, my brothers and I up on Christianity.  In my own time and desire to seek knowledge, searching for the truth, I have read information about the practice of Islam and I really did like it; that is, how much the basis of it called for family orientated structures.  The second quote's main point is to recruit souls for the Islam force.  That's not my point here.  I'm not even trying to convert souls to Christianity in this writing.  I mean, each person has to practice and develop their own individual relationship with God in Spirit and in Truth.  So the person must figure out what their soul is most resonantly spiritually aligned with and asking of them in this time, space and reality to express.  That is up to the person/soul to figure out alone.  To me, there are way too many people out there saying, follow me, I know the way.  I would just simply say, "I have a relationship with The All that Is, and I think and feel that it is intimate, not religious.  I can teach you what The All has taught me" or "You can try this, it might help."  No one really knows the truth and they won't know until that final day.  In sharing our own personal spiritual practices, rituals, teachings, understandings and experiences to get into alignment with God or the Divine Almighty One with each other, we help one another find the way to their own individual path.  In the past I was shy...I was afraid to tell other people how I connected.  I would only tell them what I was taught by my Elders.  I wouldn't even tell my Elders the things I had learned alone in my practices.  I guess that on some level, I will still take caution when sharing some of my information.  But when and if someone comes and says to me today and on, "It's raining outside, why is that smile on your face?", I know that my spirit will tell me exactly what to say. Remember we are all blessed, Be Favored Today!
