We are each and all all alone. This is not bad news. Being alone allows us to transcend our sense of isolation, inherent in believing in individuality, and discover the communion that is our nature, our belonging together. Returning to this belonging means the hope of living from a larger sense of self, the self we are, not the self any I is.
the realization of our natural being as alone, as solitude,
is the healing of loneliness
within aloneness, whatever feelings of loneliness may arise,
these find no ground, and quickly dissolve back into Intimacy
so, solitude is
Being being alone, intimate-together
this being alone is not a static state
but an ongoing, impersonal communion arising, a
dynamic, evolving, ever-fresh self-revealing
hence, we are naturally not in communion
we are communion ~ communion being aloneness
solitude is the affirmation
of Being being alone, so all-one
commonly understood
aloneness is taken to mean all-within-oneself
this is a Western reading
based on the dominance of fictitous individuality
the separate self, a fraction
guards its apartness from, not surrendering to its nature
as a part of and with
this illusory self, revolving around itself, denies communion,
in false togetherness proving the lie of self-as-individual
when one sees himself or herself
as one of and with all ones, meaning One
then, that one enjoys expressing communion
to share the fullness of his or her being in Loving
rather than the individual pursuit
wherein the self affirms itself as apart from, so lonely
in this feeling of being apart, of self-isolation,
the self uses others, calling this love
when moving as part of and with, so truly alone,
one shares, gladly and naturally, in disinterested Loving
with other beings being alone too
