The Comfort of Alone

 

During the most inauspicious time in my life, I feel the symbol that threatened my existence was the contemplation of truly being alone – even though I had a 115-pound German shepherd there to comfort me.  The fear of only having myself to count and depend on frightened and disillusioned me to the sense of power and resiliency that we all have embedded into our divine nature.  I was so enraptured by the false reality that I have created and judged myself upon only echoed my disaster that had then imprinted itself into my heart.  As the model of co-dependency has become a standard within our 3-D society it should be zero surprise that I was stuck in the personal pyramid of isolation and felt that I was a captive without a key to the door.

The blessing and tranquility of being alone is not just invaluable but crucial to the contentment and pleasure of true divine love.  The sanctity of the self is a pleasure that has long been not just forgotten, but even looked down upon through societal standards and motifs.  One thing that gets lost is the quiet, and not just the captivation of one’s own thoughts, but hearing the sound beyond the sound; the reference point of the reality that exists beyond our physical world and our true connection with source and our divinity.  The revelation that we truly are more than physical crude matter.  It is our true nature to be alone for that is our journey and destination – to find that we are enough and self-love is the most enduring relationship we can ever have.  We enter this existence alone and gestate within a human companion who is to nurture us for preparation on our journey, but we must venture off to find that moral and consciousness connection.  Our life-long journey is to follow that path of least resistance on the purpose that we are good enough and worthy to find peace with the beauty of being alone.

The quiet places and pieces of time to one self can only strengthen to soul.  The audition you give your higher self as you sit and intake the beauty and healing powers of the connection with source energy only empowers the spirit to embrace the unity of all the energy bodies within: physical, emotional and spiritual.  When you embrace that quiet, the sound of silence, all vibrations become visible and the notes that echo in the universe become clear and aware in your mind.  It is possible to see music, to visualize messages and gaze and the vortex of life.  All measures of beauty, and could be said heroism, filter through divine inspiration as all multitudes of life’s existence and virtues are able to be captured as you embrace the quiet.

The Om or Aum is the sound at the beginning of the world, which is a reason why it begins and ends many spiritual mediations and prayers.  Its significance escalates further beyond what we can and will ever understand.  The symbol itself resonates further than we can comprehend and its nature correlates with the power of the unknown and virtue stronger than we can imagine.  The Om is the embodiment of pure power, transcending the physical and into a world that is possible through the power of thought and enlightenment. 

Alone is truly a blessing and not a curse.  It is only when we can accept the beauty of alone that we fully embrace our power as ascended beings.  What makes the concept of alone so amazing is that is where growth and evaluation are enhanced and born.  Thoreau spent 2 years, 2 months and 2 days as he wrote Walden. It is not insignificant that he chose that number – 222 – it is the angelic number of a new beginning or cycle of life to awaken within the self.  His time alone gave him the gift of knowing when to start, observe, listen, record, and end his solitude and arrive as a more enlightened man than when he entered his trivial experiment.  The education he gave himself was priceless and his personal expansion revealed itself in the text.  The manuscript he wrote was divinely inspired.  It was written in the physical, but was created in connection with his higher, spiritual self that he was able to tap into due to his experience alone. 

And his is just one example of many; the Buddha took a personal pilgrimage on his way to achieve enlightenment and Buddhist Monks follow the same practice.  It is argued that Jesus did the same – he goes from a child to a 30-year-old man very quickly in the scripture, so it is thought, once he learned the truth, he took some time off accept his fate.  It is now interestingly ironic that to put prisoners in isolation can be considered cruel punishment.  But I would say that many of those individuals can’t handle it due to many other reasons, such as lack of self-awareness and preparation for what the mind can hear and receive once there is a clean path to the divine. 

Embrace the quiet, embrace the time alone.  Alone is not lonely.  Lonely is when the mind needs attachment to the physical to have love in their heart.  Lonely is the absence of love.  Lonely is when your perception of reality is based on how others perceive you.  Loneliness is when you value yourself on the opinion of others.  Alone transcends all of that as you tune in to who you really are and are tapped in to the strength of your inner being and your true reality.  Love yourself, embrace the quiet, and cherish alone.  It is then when the beauty of the world resonates loudly in your heart.
