Thankfully you don’t need years of meditative practice to experience a realisation of nothingness you can just read this article here and intellectualise the experience. You are nothing doing something. Indeed it can be argued that the entire universe is ‘nothing doing something.’ For a long time, these Viking and Old English texts were considered essentially, meaningless. Just made-up mythic stories about outlandish and impossible things, and no depths to explore. This was challenged in terms of critical analysis of literature by the anthology Monster Theory: Reading Culture (available free online here). From the blurb of that:

The only thing that prevents us from directly experiencing this abyss is the continual input of our senses, filling the void with experiences and impressions from the outside world, the world beyond the abyss. This is why Buddhists, in particular, like to quell the sense data and meditate on a realisation of nothingness (which I am reliably informed – is a very noble spiritual state to be in and much sort after experience).On an individual level, when we feel pushed to fight, we have the capacity to either act from consciousness, retaining and responding through a framework of our own deep humanity and values, or allow the unconscious, what Jung calls the shadow, to go on default response in a way that can ultimately compromise that framework - we unleash our own capacity to be a monster.

Y aquí es donde ha venido mi gran decepción con el libro: me esperaba que me contaran las características de los asesinos de otra forma. Yo esperaba que saliera x asesino con toda su historia en el mismo capítulo, pero no ha sido así. Hay que ir saltando entre capítulos y, cuando estaba metida de lleno en uno, me cambiaban a otro, dentro del mismo capítulo. The very popular and now well-known book “The Stranger Beside Me” by crime writer Ann Rule, who knew Bundy personally, describes a sadistic man who enjoyed holding power over women and inflicting pain on others. Bundy used his intelligence, good looks, and charm to lure his victims who had no reason to fear this well-spoken and polite man. He also appeared to be very good at targeting victims who were the most vulnerable. The book also includes 2 series of photos showing serial killers, crime scenes and in some cases gruesome photos of some victims (although these are tame compared to a regular internet search).By 1978, Ressler had built up a team within the Behavioural Science Unit. They began to apply psychological theory, victimology, and crime scene analysis across difficult criminal cases to generate a profile of the person responsible.

Robert K. Ressler (February 21, 1937 – May 5, 2013) was an FBI agent and author. He played a significant role in the psychological profiling of violent offenders in the 1970s and is often credited with coining the term " serial killer", [1] though the term is a direct translation of the German term "Serienmörder" coined in 1930 by Berlin investigator Ernst Gennat. After retiring from the FBI, he authored a number of books on serial murders, and often gave lectures on criminology. Ressler. R.K., and Shachtman, T.
