What is it like to be alone? At one level it is inevitable because humans aren't very good at connecting. At another level being truly alone is all but impossible in the information age. There are too many distractions.
Well maybe it is just me. I don't ever in my life time recall having a dream where I had a friend. That was partly because I tend to be a loner but partly because I do not instinctively look to the others for help or advice.
I assume it is up to me to walk the lonesome valley and walk it by myself.
The usual assumption is this case is as always to forsake your evil deeds and repent and turn over a new leaf and start doing things right. That is good as far as it goes but it also assumes there is no reason at all to even consider you had any business acting a certain way to begin with. Maybe that was true and maybe it was presumptuous. If it was YOUR talent to do this in a certain way maybe that should be the method you should use. Who knows?
I was mega pleased at my last meeting to report I had this very unlikely dream and was apparently being visited in that way for my enlightenment. I was also very ashamed when everyone else complained of strange emotions the past week when I experienced nothing . Completely total absolute nothing. If there was even the most rudimentary group empathy I was not capable of experiencing it. We were told it was because we lost one of the group to cancer. I had no idea at all until I was told that verbally.
There are things I am good at and things the others are much better at. When it comes to the wonderful world of spirituality it would seem sensitivity rules supreme. I am sure that is so eventually. But in the mean time I wonder if being sensitive means hearing all or being able to ignore it all except for that one thing you are seeking. In my case I can't even begin the do that with the whole of creation looking over my shoulder. I need to develop my ability to be alone. So I can learn how to connect with things.
Who ever said being spiritual wasn't an enigma?
