Hi -
I just found your forum yesterday and have found some of the descriptions of "the void" relevant to my own experiences. One day a couple of years ago while practicing a stilled-mind meditation I found myself in a place of limitless IS-ness, where the apparent observer and the feeling of "me-ness" had disappeared. So a bit later I began to research what this "void" space I had entered, was. (fwiw the mind-stilling technique used is called "tratak" - an ancient yoga technique, so I later found out; although in my meditational trials it was discovered independently by pragmatic trial and error)
Here is the web page which describes the experience and gives some links which were found to be of use.

Peace be with you,
