Reminds me a lot of Simone Weil, who talked about the void as well and aspiring to a radical non-identification with purely earthly goals.
The apostle Paul put it thus: live according to the spirit, not according to the flesh. This doesn't mean shutting out the world, on the contrary: seeing the world more clearly in its subtle structure, and acting in it accordingly.
Thanks for writing this up, can't talk enough about spiritual subtleties these days, so many people have never thought about those things!
I agree with much of what you wrote. Its almost a mirror of my own thoughts and experience. Most people will not understand, exactly because they cannot let go.
I'd like to add that one point I did not agree with was to stop caring. At least for me I don't think letting go means to stop caring, that seems to be going too far, but rather to know and choose what really matters to care about. For example if your friends ghost you, why are they doing so? Just cutting everything off is not the solution to everything without understanding the issue and I'm sure you didn't mean it that way.
It might be a tough concept to grasp, but it's the most important part. Only when you are able to stop caring about the problems plaguing you can you actually begin to solve them. Those negative thoughts are what hinder growth. They are like shackles which weight you down overtime, eventually drowning you.
