Aloneness on the spiritual path

[Geoff-Allen]

Greetings everybody!

Hope you are okay during these tough times!

Here's a little article some of you may find interesting -

Most people, if not all, go through periods of aloneness and the less you resist this, the smoother your life goes.

You will either be pulled there because you voluntarily seek it, or you will be put there and resist it, but being alone is part of the process of awakening.

And the ego will most probably have fits and temper tantrums about it because it doesn’t like it at all.

It will most probably go into poor-me mode at times, it will pity itself, curse the day it ventured on the spiritual path and sometimes even threaten to end its life.

Aloneness on the spiritual path is such a great blessing

All the best!

Sounds like depression. I also suspect the enlightenment Buddhists claim to experience might be just hunger high due to malnutrition.

Islamic sufis have a term, 'fana', being an experience of the void, followed by 'baqa'. The lesser self must pass away for the newer to be born.

That has to be one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read.
