- Many people find themselves increasingly alone on the spiritual journey. This is not only very common, but in some sense intrinsic to the journey.

I wish I could meet everyone who is reading this.
Stardust powered by starlight! I look out the window and I see a bunch of parked cars, they are inanimate till a driver gets in now it has a motive and becomes alive I have a non physical driver pushing this amalgam of star stuff through this reality. Like Kramer said on Seinfeld," it's all about levels Jerry."
Lovely!!🕊
There truly are so many lovely souls on this earth. We are just so overpowered by the noisy negative ones. 💚
Your cool,I appreciate your positive possibility thinking

My Guru told me that loneliness is a feeling of being unsupported. He said, “Once you learn to support from the Self you will not feel lonely again.”
I needed to hear this, thank you.
Needed this comment today! Appreciate you for it.
yes ✨💖💮
Aloneness is not loneliness when you are connected with spiritual path. When we are lonely we need some one ,when you are in aloneness you enjoy it as famous spiritual Master Osho said . From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ♥

"I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone." ~ Robin Williams
@@BH195829 I beg to differ. Feelings aren’t ‘just’ thoughts. What about the flight or flight response? From neurological research, the sensory input always goes through the emotional centres of the brain before it reaches the frontal cortex - the place for our rational thought. With that understanding, one must realise it is actually physically impossible for thought to come before emotions.
HOW CAN U EVER ---- BE ALONE----- THERE IS THE WIND, THERE IS THE SKY AND THE STARS ---- THERE IS YOUR THOUGHTS & ABOVE ALL ----- THERE IS GOD!!!!!!!! BECAUSE GOD IS HERE THERE & EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING ALONE!!!!!!! U MAY THINK THAT U ARE ALONE ----- BUT U ARE NEVER EVER ALONE!!!!!!!.

Love that quote didn’t know it came from Buddha
If u want to enjoy alone.learn to be strong
The desire to be strong is a weakness...
Weakness and strength a delusion ...
There's no real separation between one and the other.

@@dazliv5700 it's very very true but only when somebody becomes enlightened

What’s worse than being alone is being surrounded by others who aren’t like you. That’s when you truly feel alone.
I know!! Spiritual awakening surrounded by narcissists is so hard! The majority of humans are narcissistic in different ways..
@@Lonewolfalchemist can you go more into depth about how people are narcissistic is different ways?
@@Yanniee. well everyone has an ego, everyone has some form of control over one another like your boss at work telling you to perform tasks you dislike. Even parents telling you, you must go to college to be successful. Or even a stranger wanting to pick a fight with you over something you did right. Or you telling your dog to sit when told to. Lol I’ve studied narcissism 4 years ago to protect myself from family and now im going thru a spiritual awakening cuz it wasn’t enough. Lol
True
That's exactly where I'm at
When I am alone, I feel whole & like I matter-
When I am around ppl, I feel lost and scattered-
Yes me too that’s exactly how I feel , Emzii
I can relate
I feel so much like you
Me too. That's why I enjoy walking in nature no matter what the weather is like. Always a cool insight or observation.
Yes, so true. I occasionally imagine there's something I'm not understanding about community, so I make an effort. But it never feels real, so I retreat again. And it feels fine then. I can't understand people who dread being alone.
When you find self-love in loneliness, you also find love for the world and then you no longer feel loneliness.
I subscribed to your channel although it's all in Hebrew. I wish I learnt to speak it before.
It's common for spiritually inclined people to feel out of place in this world ..... people,situations, interests, understanding all seem different ...thank you for this message...
Felt this way since 9 years old, all of my so called friends and proved the opposite and I see that there is value in solitude you can learn a lot if you pay attention.
Good luck to you my friend.
I've always felt lost and out of place in this world and really don't enjoy the human experience....at least as it is in this modern time. I don't resonate with the material pursuits that most people prioritize. Wish I could go home already.
I feel exactly as you have described.
I like being alone but I learned that I am never alone. My guides are always sending me messages.
I relate to this 100% ❤
@@stardustjourney8243 how do they send messages? 🌟
Me too 💕
@@laisa. numbers, synchronicity, and ringing in the ears.
yes they are ❤️ they got your back
I’m at peace being alone.
Im at peace also
I know right 👍. Society is so horrible to the point I stay to myself.
feeling same as all of u kind pple♥
I used to be such an extravert but now I engage far less and prefer authentic people. I'm pretty much a hermit.
Besides my dog, I am my own best friend, and I am SO very ok with that. I laugh at my own jokes😜
I have been a Christian for more than half my life, I have always had the desire to learn and understand the truth in the word of God. I found Christianity has has been a minefield and I have learned a lot of their differing doctrines that kept me from the truth of my relationship to Christ.
I have learned more in the last 3 years studying and learning on my own than in the 30 years of denominational confusion.
Regardless of our spiritual understanding we must walk alone and at times others come into our paths to help each other in their walk.
This has been my entire life. It has been one heck of a ride, but I regret nothing.
We are never truly alone. When we finally understand our connection to other humans, trees, animals, to water..to everything. We’ll finally realize that we have never truly been alone.
Wonderful insight! 🙏💜
Lovely being connected to water🌴🌳 n animals at moment
Exactly 🙏🏼🕊🌍🕊️ღ
Beautiful post my unknown friend. Join us as we do our little bi using our music and messages to shine some much needed light in these twisted and upside down times. Blessings from New Zealand. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.
I would say we are alone. In “birth” and “death” we are alone, no matter how many people are in the room, we come and go alone. However, when we understand, we are one with everything, we are never really lonely.
A spiritual teacher once said, "You can feel alone or all-one." Thank you for reminding me that connection happens in my own heart toward All-That-Is.
Love that Rebecca ..
I think you can feel alone AND all one, as oppose to one or the other.
great reply rebecca:) i had a similar thought😉😉
To be alone is to be one.
Great syncretism, thanks wow
These are wise words from a wise man. To add one line from the dhammapada, there is no companionship with a fool. Better to be alone than to suffer a fool.
If anyone who reads this is feeling alone, just remember that that's how we come into the world, (except twins) and thats how we leave. If you are alone, maybe the universe is sending you the right people to accompany you. Let it.
Wise words, my friend.
i have felt really alone for some time, watched my friends go one by one, i can tell they think i’m crazy now. this was very needed today, i have been struggling with this isolation wondering if something was wrong with me and getting deeper into a depression. This has reminded me that i am not alone but just haven’t found my community yet.
This is some courage still
I can agree, that its super hard to find a community that you can "fit in". You are strong! If you want to talk or be friends let me know:)
This resonates. You aren’t alone x
You are not alone💚
Yes Madison I agree. It does seem to be a division in energies. I feel like a computer that is constantly buffering and downloading. I do have a few good friends but mostly alone following my inner guidance.
I find that the further along my path I travel the more I appreciate my own solitude. Being around most people means listening to them talk about things that are superficial and chase things that I no longer resonate with. I Love the peace and quiet I experience in my own solitude and find that any time I spend around others must be followed by a period of quiet contemplation. Thank you for speaking on this....Many Blessings
I find it fascinating and awesome that a video he made 3 years ago, shows up for me at the perfect time, this morning!
I'm hipnotised to write this ...when it comes to emotion or self observations..I'm sorry to say our perception is inconherent..theory..hypothesis...of our understanding an experiences ..perception until meeting or living another experience it will resume to it's point of view an see into the future by perception information...meaning give your self that permission to add more to your perception an understanding life surprises everyone....that's what life is a whole bunch of shit we learn..an for everything u learn it open your perception to a whole lot more bullshit that now we could understand that we don't know....learn shit just realize now we know there so much shit we don't know an not enough time..words from solitude confinement Betillo
Ride it out 🎉 there is something special waiting just for you 😊
Amen! I am the same way.
It does feel quite luxurious being alone in divine spirit. The tumult of the crowd is exhausting to me as I feel to absorb all that exterior energy.
"Loneliness is less about being alone, and more about a lack of connection." That really spoke to my heart...thank you for this beautiful message.👍❤😊
Yes! I feel those words also! Thankyou 🙌🏼
Same
I have never felt that I was lonely, I have always connected with nature, in silence all questions are answered
I understand. But I actually feel more connected to my coaching colleagues, all of you, my guides, and a mentor. However, I have always been alone pretty much. My family, friends, and others never understood me. So, I guess for me I had to disconnect from all the people that didn't understand me (family, friends, husband.) And reconnect to my long lost spiritual family.
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.” C.G. Jung
There is a difference between loneliness and solitude ☝🏻
18 years and counting and this is so true. I keep saying if I could find just one like minded person...but it doesn't mean they have to be exactly like me, far from it, I just want someone to discuss things with, so even someone with a different background is great. As long as they are open minded and not trying to change me then that would be awesome. I know my journey is personal, everyone's is. I know I had to be alone in order to heal and grow and I don't want to jump into being with someone else 24/7, that would drive me crazy too. I need someone grown up that doesn't lie, manipulate, or try to control me and understands love above all else. The rest doesn't matter.
I'm so happy I found this. I just read the comments after posting the above, I no longer feel so alone apparently there are lots of people like me out there.
Namaste everyone!!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍
Hello how are you doing?
Dear One,
Seek Like Hearted by finding your own Heart.
Like Minded people will always provide friction with your Ego.
Put your attention in a place where Love can grow, instead of reaping Seperation.
Whoever surrounds you then, you'll be at Peace within.
I see you.
I hear you.
@@Spirit_Matters.Arthur you didn't understand what I wrote but thank you for your kind intentions.
Well said . I need someone like that also
I've had 60 years of 'being alone' - I've found most people are 'living on the surface' which makes it difficult to connect with them. Virtually given up with finding like minded friends so I have more animal friends around to communicate with who continue to reinforce my disbelief in most of human nature. Animals don't care about my lifestyle, size of wallet, fancy car etc - they keep on giving and they don't cheat, brag or lie.
Yes .. the problem is most people certainly do live on the surface .. those of us who have gone deeper can never return
IT IS ONLY THE HUMAN SPECIE ---- THAT RAPE & LIE!!!!!!!
NONE OTHER!!!!!!!
It's very true. I'm 72. I've always felt alone and misunderstood. As an introvert this has been my own process too. Being spiritual will bring you into isolation and many contemplative people realise this reality. Thank you.
Thank you Helen. I çan relate. I'm 60 and worked in film editing. It was hard for me to overcome my shyness about calling directors and asking for work. I did manage it. I am still a shy child inside and a proud middle aged mother. I love God and feel blessed. I will teach you some Aramaic. Schlama means peace. Malkuth means heaven. Hubba means love. It's a mantra to calm my nerves. I was born March 11th in Bethlehem.
Spirituality should never be an excuse for being alone and misunderstood.
@@jamesaritchie1 Your criticism is not very constructive. Care to enlighten us?
@@jamesaritchie1 why does one need an excuse for being alone?
@@anxietycherry yes.. True question🙋
As a spiritual being walking on our Earth mother, I am never alone! Her vibrations and energy surround me and I feel her presence. Find your true self thru nature and her vibration and except the energy and wisdom of her giving...
Yes. Local wildlife likes to befriend me, for example. It's wonderful.
@@angelinasouren Your beauty, gentleness and energy within you will give you oneness as you walk and surround yourself with the gift of nature. Wildlife will feel your goodness and gentle soul and know you are non threatening to them. I've had many exeriences like yourself... and it is WONDERFUL. Be safe and be well on your journey! Namaste...
The only place I feel at home on this journey is in nature. It certainly isn't in the world of humans.
@@deadreckoning6288 So true! Nature, wildlife and the outdoors... there's nothing better!
I am alone very often but never ever lonely..spirit is breathing me and running through me like loving electricity 🔌😍much love to everyone who stranded here, we are all connected
OMG your making me 😢 I thought I was the only one that felt that there isn't anyone that even understands this need to connect and unable to find understanding what that is from anyone. ❤🙏
Right
Your definitely Not alone!!!
It took a lot of time for me to reach being alone as comfortable...I believe being a loner from childhood helped. Many people have asked don't you just hate being alone I say no I am not lonely
Xxx The one with no needs is truly free Xxx hard to obtain I know
You are not alone being alone because more ppl are really alone when they are not alone. In the sense of a spiritual manner. Maybe it's a way to actually connect. ❤️
I went from one extreme to another. I lived and worked in Los Angeles for 49yrs and now I live on the Oregon coast in the forest. Just the solitude alone has allowed me great leaps of consciousness.
I really want to move to Oregon. The nature there looks beautiful. I did live in California then back to Texas but I just don’t connect here. I want the nature with water and all.
@@shesgoneforeverlife If you like lots of trees and a magnificent coast then Oregon is the place for you. I suggest you take a vacation and drive up the Oregon coast. Once we did that we knew where we wanted to live out our retirement years.
Ooooo... it sounds to me like you just might have a bestselling book inside you who’s time to be penned has arrived....???!!!!
@@lesleymicuda4041 Haha! Thank you Lisle. A bestselling "anything" was once a source of motivation for me. No doubt I have had an incredible journey but when I stopped and embraced the silence it has released me from the need for attention from the outside world by default. My biggest benefit from solitude is realizing there is nothing I have to do and no goal to be achieved to find contentment. It's been right here inside me all along. What a surprise!
Wow nice!
I have always preferred my own company. Even as a teenager I would be found in my bedroom reading and listening to music, rather than out with friends. 💖
This so resonates with me. I’ve been alone for 11 years.. Awakening has been a pure Joy! Im here not for personal gain, but here to serve humanity in whatever form that manifests!
Peace Be With All of You 🙏
Thank you 😊
I believe ultimately we all experience life separately together.
Beautifully said
At first, my constant wanting to be alone made me doubt my sanity. But the more I embraced my "aloneness" the more I realised that this is my Soul's intent whilst on this planet...to truly connect with my inner Spirit and to open my heart to the Universe. And to evolve. Our time here in this specific dimension is brief.
Soon this life's dream state will dissolve.
Love for our world and all her people is all that matters.
Thank you all for sharing your own unique journey.
Being with other people makes me feel more alone sometimes than just being alone. Depends though but the time we have with ourselves should also be cherished
Beautifully said.
Thank you for the way you said this. I'll going to keep it.
Yeh!! Me too. 🌸
Siobhan Quinan Correction, love for our world and all life is all that matters!
That was so beautifully put. But we are never really alone - God is always with us.
Thank you. I enjoy my alone time 💯. Prayers and love to whom ever reading this or not. I pray for all with love
Thank you for this! I've always been alone as an only child. Lost my Mom at 11 and my Dad at 36. Now I'm 59. I've never truly connected with people. I've had good friends but never met anyone that truly gets me. I've had the big houses and the expensive cars but none of that added much to my life. I live very simply now. I work in high tech and it seems so empty. Never really thought I was on a spiritual journey although I'm always seeking guidance on how I can truly be at peace with myself. All I want to do now is travel the world, hear new languages, enjoy amazing scenery and be happy.
That Sounds wonderful … yes , travel the world … and enjoy 🧡🤗🤓🌎!
Thank you for your truth, honesty- the validation from others is
nothing compared to conclusions you have drawn. For me it is
the path of inquiry- always asking how the exterior affects the interior.
I feel like I'm on the same road with you. Having a conversation with you over coffee would be beautiful.
❤️🕊️
Yes I’d say do what you feel like doing. Go for it. Have a wonderful adventure in everything you do. Smile everyday even when your not feeling happy.just choose to be happy and then you will be. It’s that easy. I send you many blessings on your life’s adventures. 😊
i get so annoyed by people. all they do is use you or leave you in the end
Same. I want connections but when the opportunity comes, I get so drained
@Kate Sandhu people are childish, other childish people will believe anything someone says about you. why do they do these things? because they can and they hate you. you can file for harassment if they take it too far. just block em' if they are an annoyance. watchout for the people he/she hangs around and distance yourself because he/she mostly likely is laughing about these things among them
@Kate Sandhu you can only be affected if you have an ego or are sensitive. like i recommend before distance yourself from "them" people
@Kate Sandhu you too tell your mama i said hi
Maybe when you stop needing the lesson it won’t happen
This is completely correct. It's one of the first truths my elders taught me so long ago. It is lonely at times, but an unbelievable connection to nature, spirit and self fills the void.
Lovely and so true . One day those few who ‘ go against the tide ‘ ( lonely!) will become the tide as more and more of us awaken- 💫🕊Peace and light to all! Xx
This is truly something I needed to work on. Stop trying to make people understand and just be at peace with myself. Thank you 🙏✨
The most lonely I ever felt was in my relationship ( marriage), when I knew for sure we were incompatible. We had come together in youth. It was mainly physical attraction. We had little else in common. He was secretive selfish and sought to use and take advantage of others even me his wife. Me being clingy naive trusting and lacking life experience made many assumptions. The reality was that I was in extreme danger! He became like a wild ferocious beast. He wanted out but did not know how to set things right so feeling stuck realizing the ideal of family life were not for him that the responsibilities of marriage fatherhood working were too heavy for him. He sought the street life. I raised the children worked hard and grew up to realize that " it is what it is " and that I was on my own. It was so painful until I learned that people are who they are. No amount of arguing reasoning begging pleading etc., can change a thing. I only made myself sick. Our children needed me to be stable focused and clear. We must never allow the fear of being alone to trap us into staying in places with people who no longer want us. It breeds discontent. I value your presence! Ty!
This is what I'm afraid of...I'd rather not settle if it means I'm going to feel disconnected and even more lonely. But I guess I shall see where my journey takes me because at this point it is quite hard for me to feel understood by another person, I've felt mostly alone all my life.
Thank you so much for your comment. I needed that reminder. I have been wrestling with the fear of being financially independent.
Respect to you for going out on your own hardest thing one has to do in a lifetime is quit on a relationship that you think you can save that you think you need to keep together for the kids but the two people are just so f****** different and the truth is as long as you will be together with them you will be ultimately miserable very complex and difficult subject especially when kids are involved good luck to you and I hope that the universe sent or Will send somebody that you just have to be around you can't wait to get a hold from work to be around them their presents makes you smile
I can relate so much to this as I am currently going through a divorce. Thank you for sharing because I am feeling so lost as I’m finding myself so alone and not fully able to provide for my kids because I feel lost. My oldest daughter wants to go live with her dad, who never fought to have her in his life. I’m torn feeling like I’ve done something wrong. I’m just feeling so helpless.
You have a very sad perception of life and other people sound alike you really need to do some self work. This whole paragraph sound like victim mentality.
I’ve felt that way for years now. It’s really nice to hear others go through the same so thanks for putting this out there.
I'm finding that praying "thank you" for no reason at all, like having a good life or good health or having a place to live, is so heart opening. Just feeling thankfulness for its own sake opens my heart as well as having feelings of humility and kindness.
I'm learning that for me, spirituality is nothing more than experiencing love whether I'm alone or when I'm around others. It's such a wonderful thing to find out, finally. Thank you for the inspirational video. :)
Gratitude is definitely a spiritual door to deeper meaning and all that good stuff... it's insanely underrated. People know the cliche phrases that encourage gratitude but I don't think many actually practice it. Gratitude has had a deep and appreciated impact on my life.
@@days_hadd I definitely was one of those people that understood the idea of gratitude but took it lightly. I had no idea of the possibility of the experience of worship and or exaltation that could be accompanied by a deep sense of gratitude.
all these things happening to me ..I don't like being social ..I like sitting for meditation hrs n hrs ...this world seems a tiny sorrow box where each soul talk rubbish nd foolish talks only ...sometimes.I wanna completely dissappear in nature where no one could see me .and then I will talk with beautiful flowers birds butterflies ocean sand ...I wanna talk everything except human beings ......I m luckiest one indeed as spiritual being ....nothing can replace the bliss of being completely in own company for any spiritual seeker .....I m experiencing this eternal bliss ..
I can relate to every single thing you typed....nature animals flowers trees insects oh my I love them...meditation too...Namaste
When you can see the butterfly and the trees within the eyes of man. You are home. Home is everything your foot is placed on...one in front of another. As your meditation deepens explore the duality of nature and man. And see that man is nature and nature is man and the harmony of suffering with the harmony of nature.
Same here
i can totally relate!
This feels like so much permission to love my solitude. It's so vital to my personal spiritual journey. I wish more people understood that and regarded it as fact.
no one can ever give you the permission you were born with, they can only help you learn to take it for yourself. and i hope you always remember, and anyone reading, you are NEVER alone with yourself. solitude is the space to remember and love your own company. if u get to be with nature then even better!!
i wish you the very very best, and know there's nothing but freedom in your heart.
It is not that we like to be alone but we like to soar, and when you soar the company grows thin.
@@petersonlafollette3521 TBH, that's the most aptly resonant description I've heard. Thank you!
This video came to me in a important time. I resonate with this message so much. I have been on a deep spiritual journey for a few years now and feeling alone is absolutely a part of it. I often wonder how alone Jesus or Buddha or any other great spiritual leader felt. Not that I’m comparing myself to them 😁. But I am deeply spiritual AND religious and even within my religion find that people are only living on the surface. I also believe that a lot of us who feel alone are called to do a great work. We are looking deeper into ourselves therefore we will be able to offer more to the world. Most will not allow themselves to look deep enough to understand their full potential.
I am currently leaving a well paying but miserable career to start a business that will definitely make less for a while but will fill me with joy and fulfillment. I will fulfill my lifelong passion to work with the youth of this world. After years on my lonely journey, I am finally ready. Be lonely, dig deep, eventually we will fill our lives with the right kind of connection.
Hi Jenny Wilson , I hope you found the strength to let go and live a happy life.
That's awesome🙏 I'm hoping to leave my not so well paying job lol soon to pursue my love of healing our bodies naturally through essential oils & helping people with depression+anxiety...I hope it all works out for you - working with young people will be extremely rewarding🙏💛😘
I know this video is a few years old but it just popped up in my suggested views. Thank you for this. Inward journeys are often lonely but it's good to know we are not alone. Trying to find the peace in myself that you are speaking of. I hope whoever else stumbles on this video finds it too 🙏
I'm jobless, friendless and live with my dad
I got this video today. And it was great to see how many people responded to it. And thanks for your message. Love!
Same here! I just watched this out of nowhere.
Me too
I have always enjoyed being alone ever since I was a little girl I have a few good friends who understand me ..i have family, children, grandchildren i love time with them but ultimately i enjoy being alone
me too...enjoyed getting out in the woods, free to explore....now, free to clean the house !! LOL....and it stays clean....love those vacuum marks on the carpet..yes I truly enjoy being alone.
Beautiful. Thank you very much. I was just exploring loneliness last night. I’ve been single for over 10 years now. I love my free time and I enjoy myself with gardening and my allotment outside of my office job. But I would like company and a partner. I was having a bath last night and I soon realised how valuable it is to be alone. To NOT be distracted at all. To have the freedom to connect with spirit without pressure to squeeze that time in around someone else’s demands. The feeling I got was very valuable. It is very true that it’s not about the loneliness it’s about making further steps to connect to spirit in my heart and in my meditations. Big love x
Your comment resonated so much with my own aloneness whilst dealing with my awakening .. Bautifully said , embracing being alone as true freedom, ..💜
Resonate with your insight, thank you.
Love this!❤❤❤
I admit it’s at times lonely and frustrating that no one seems to understand and I believe it’s something that has been lost in our past. We were much more connected to everything spiritually than we are now. What I have come to find through meditation is that we can never be alone. We are part of something greater and loving that is responsible for the creation of all things, everywhere.
Stay strong!
I honor the place in you that’s is the same in me!
Namaste!
Beautiful and true, in a way we are the keepers of the earth. Forever in harmony.....
Your spirit is your master, and your body is your disciple. You are never alone. 🙏💗🙏
10 years into my spiritual journey and I am alone and I very much like it this way. I was much more lonely when I had people in my life. Once I was married and it was so very lonely.
I go into nature everyday and I am with God and I feel most whole when outdoors.
i couldnt agree more! this is my experience too!
@@clarkkent3730 like minded souls;)
I love being alone. The trees are my friends
Sending love to anyone feeling alone. There are lots of us! Collectively we are NOT alone
Aloneness is the key to spiritual journey. Embrace it with gratitude and total surrender.
Thanks for sharing your journey. Your fellow seeker.🙏
Aloneness. maybe, but loneliness. There's a huge difference. If you're lonely, something serious is missing from your life.
You explained what I have experienced for quite some time. When around those that I consider friends, I am bored with the idle chatter. And I long to connect deeply. I feel less alone when I am thinking, praying, meditating, or walking in nature. Thank you for your time.
Very nicely put. Losing connection with everything and everyone is really depressing. There's nothing to hold on to anymore. Nothing at all, except for the awareness of it.
Well, this came along at the right time. Thank you, Teacher.
I’m grateful for the internet because of the connection it offers.
I am reminded that I am…and never really alone.
☀️
Very powerful video! I've been feeling really disconnected from people over the past two years since the start of my spiritual awakening. I feel like I don't connect with anybody anymore including my friends and family. I don't think I ever really did connect with people, but I was unconscious and distracted, but now it's more clear to me. I want to find somebody who understands and who I can grow with. I am working to accept being alone, mentally I accept it, but emotionally there is still resistance. Thanks for the video!
I Feel you a 100% 🙏🏻
Don't we all, coincidentally I stopped to read your comment unkownoing we share the same frist name.

I’m at peace from myself and from society, I have overcome my suffering and I prefer to be alone, kinda like a hermit so I can keep my mind pure with thoughts and meditation. I’m not really alone I’m just on my spiritual path to become enlighten and follow the path of Buddha. 🙏📿
❤ thank you... yes. The way I see it, the more clutter we are born into, the more our path needs to clear for us to be able to hear the call of our soul and the echoes that respond. Yet we must not jump over the clutter, it is there for us to gently (or harshly lol) learn from since we ourselves asked for these lessons... as we wade through those willing to do the same become less and less for hard work takes great dedication. This is the hardest I think, and the most solitary part of the journey - I've found, for our light to bounce off so many as it refines back to what it was meant to be...it is hard to look into a mirror when it keeps showing us what we must learn. The key is, I think, not to reject these mirrors when they reflect something we desire not but to embrace them as we let them go, understanding that they are a facet of ourselves we must love and transmute if we wish another reality. Eventually we may find ourselves in a clear river with few other souls, there we must remember that even if we cannot see each other as we swim we can still feel each other for we are all still in the current of this great river, together. The less clutter, the more clear the phoneline. Call from your heartsong and we can hear it. I forget this sometimes, and I become lonely. When I remember that we are all just a fingertip away, I can go within and expanding feel you all, as you can feel all of us, and that love is so great ❤ everything else melts away. As we keep exploring those who resonate with us and are meant to cross our path will ... when they do this becomes our community if we wish it... have faith for we are not meant to be truly alone in this existence, unless we truly wish to be. Being alone is different than being lonely...being alone can be so sweet. Yet when we want communion it just takes time sometimes to clear away the clutter so we can hear each other ❤ the louder your love is, the more clear the signal. I hear you, and I love you. Also, remember not all of us are here in the lower dimensions either... the more dimensions we allow into our experience, the more notes/souls we can hear to the song to which we all sing together ✨ Keep dancing baby
From the comment on the 10th Ox picture (I translated it from German): "When I am within my gate, a thousand wise men know not of me. The beauty of my garden is invisible. I go my own way and do not follow the steps of previous wise men. I come to the market place laughing with my bottle of wine and go home with my stick. I visit the wine bar and the market and everyone I look at is Buddha." ... Best Regards from Berlin 🙏
I've been on a long, long life journey with many twists, turns, peaks, valleys & boulders thrown in my direct path. I've been blindsided, backstabbed, emotionally traumatized & I picked myself up & continued. I continued my journey down paths that I knew were a dead end, but I went in that direction anyway. I leaned on forbidden fruit to sustain points of my journey because I didn't know when to stop the path I had taken. BECAUSE I didn't want to turn around, because I WANTED to continue in the dark, l spent to much time in the dark. It took me a good 30 years to walk out of the dark and come upon the open field of light. It took another 10 years of reaching the CENTER of this field of light & I am basking in MY SUN AND MY LIGHT. The bottom line is some are never as lucky to have taken the first step. Good or bad. Light or dark. In finding yourself you will never be lonely. For some it might be a long journey to get there. For others, they will never take that first step...they aren't even conscious yet.
Hello how’re you doing?
I get a lot of comfort and affection from my German Shepherd Dog, she's so happy to be alone with me, and lives in the moment 😊
You voiced exactly what I feel. I have been on my Spiritual Path for more than thirty years and I have been quite alone on my journey. It bothered me a lot when I was younger, but I have come to realize that it is a part of this beautiful journey and I have come to accept it and to love my solitude. I am alone but seldom alone. You said the very things that I have thought and felt as well. Thank you for the wisdom you have been given. God Bless You.
I found your video at just the right time!
recently I had made a decision to do something that most people will believe I'm nuts to do it!
Oh, it's really not that different than all the other doors I've opened and walk through to the unknown 🙂
I began my mission back in 2017, and still on that Journey....It hasn't been easy, but it's important, and very precious and SO rewarding....I follow the guidance...just Trust....
Through it all I've learned SO Much!
Light Workers have been spread out all over the world...and compared to the population of the world, we're not that many!
We're each placed where we're needed....
It's pretty cool when you find a like-minded brother/sister on-line 😉
Much love to you and
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for being here and for offering your kind support to others; thank you for saying not too much and not too little; thank you for your simplicity, authenticity and gentless 🙏❤ I resonate with everything you say.
I think when you're at peace you realize how not alone you really are. I'm connected to all things and beings on the deepest level possible - existence.
I know you speak from experience and thank you for soothing my fears for being alone
🌸
You are an old soul. Everyone wants your love and approval. Wish that I knew you
I started my journey on the year 1989, lost the exact date through time. My light has only grown stronger. But it is a lonely stroll. I have been blessed with a good community and good friends & family.
I am in my mid-40s. I most definitely am on that path, have been for some 10 years. And what this man with the pleasant voice and relaxed speech conveys is 100% true in my case. I just could not agree more.
Mid 40s too. I'm so happy I had my children in my 20s, before my awakening at 29. I feel sorry for these young women I see in the spiritual community, getting taking advantage of by much older, so called gurus.....
I rely so much to what you said. I had to end a relationship with my boyfriend because it was impossible for me to have deep conversation with him. And it’s ok for me to be alone now. Thank you so much! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I find great serenity in solitude. And I also love to make connections with others,even if it's not on a deep level. We are all inter-connected...even though we may be operating on different levels than one another. Blessings to all ❤️🙏❤️
Jesus is the way, the Truth, the Life, no man comets to the Father but by him; I’m never alone he’s always with me 😇
Precious Grasshopper, the deeper we go the more we find our deep connection to everything and everyone with a heart filled with tolerance and gratitude. There is no such thing as being alone.
I have no idea if you read these comments but this video really hit the nail on the head for me. I recently was able to articulate this isolation and loneliness to myself. Only now do I realize that my spiritual path is my own. A gift like no one else’s. There is such beauty in that.
Friends ask: "who did you go with" as if "to be" is to be with another.
movies and holidays, lol
Myself, the greatest company!
I've been interested in spirituality for years. Few months ago, after a hard break up, I found myself in a terrible condition. Everything wrong appeared in my life - alcohol, sex addiction, smoking, emotional instability. I moved to another flat l. There I started thinking, a lot... Then something sent me a message. Interesting things started happening and I realized that I had wrong companion the whole time. This year should be redeeming for me. I feel that I'm awakening, but this time for real. Now I have to follow my spiritual path alone, connect to nature and space, fix the dark things hiding in me and then I'll be ready to invite someone with similar mindset into my life. Now it would be probably self-destructive...
I think this is the unspoken part of the spiritual journey most people don't talk about. And it's not bad, I love being alone now. I love who I am, what I do. I'm at peace when I'm alone. I feel whole. I guess this is why witches live alone in a cabin in the woods. 😅
I love being alone. I take in my interest, not others. Good clip.
"loneliness is less about being alone and more about the lack of connection"
So true...
It comes down to the difference between loneliness and solitude.
Loneliness is the state of mind we experience when we feel we can't connect to those around us, though we want to. We may be living in a large metropolitan area surrounded by a couple of million people, and have many acquaintances, even friends, but we can only connect with them at a very superficial level. We feel as though something essential is missing.
Solitude is the state of mind and spirit where I accept being alone with my other self, the one that dwells in my subconscious mind (my shadow, using Jung's term) and allow myself to get to know that other self better, reconcile the two, and accept myself for who I am, as a whole. The more I accept myself, the more peace I find; the more peaceful my state of mind, the more harmonious my relationship with the universe becomes.
Paradoxically, the less I try to make sense of things, the more sense they make.
Now I can enjoy the serenade of a Mockingbird perched on a tree-branch in my backyard during mating season, and do nothing but listen to him, and enjoy his song for a while.
Solitude is helping me to better understand and appreciate the meaning of "Carpe diem."
Another interesting thing is happening to me: I value my own opinion about myself above all others, and this is a very good thing.
Thank you for taking the time to express yourself so eloquently…. I feel much the same way.
Thank you for sharing your honest truth. 💕🙏 When you start to see + feel more clearly, it is natural that you also start to protect yourself from surroundings that do not cater to your needs. Being on your own is a wonderful state to discover yourself without being disturbed by other energies.
However - as time goes by: disconnection from the world sometimes, maybe often, can also be a trauma-response. You‘ve been hurt in the past and your heart closed in order to protect you.
When you feel that you are self-sufficient that you don’t need anybody than yourself in order to be happy - it might be a good time to allow yourself to open up to others, too.
In my experience, Trauma broke the ability to connect to yourself, to others and the the universe. When you feel connected to yourself & the universe again - you might also be brave to allow yourself to open up tp others, too. 💕🦋
“it’s your road and yours alone ,
the others may walk it with you,
but no one will walk it for you .” RUMI
It took me some time to embrace being alone, but now I prefer it.
Speaking my story. I accept and embrace being alone and do find peace in it. The older I have gotten the more this is true. I choose my spiritual journey and let it be okay that others do not.
I love being alone with the universe! People are ok too. I enjoy my limited time with others.
"Alone" is a concept... and like every other thing in the physical realm, it's only relatively real. I, too, felt alone for a while... and then realized the problem was my definition of "kindred spirits". People are not the only source available of companionship or connection. There are infinite living beings with whom we can connect. One of my Oak friends taught me, even beyond this concept, that there is only One Being... and we are all part of that Being.... so saying you're alone is like a cell in some internal tissue of the human body saying it is alone when it is clearly connected to and a part of the rest of the body. You are not alone.... it's an impossibility!!
Omg this guy said the words that I find so hard to articulate. I find I increasingly don't enjoy the company of my old friends and work colleagues, finding I have nothing in common with their need for wanting more and more. Thank you so much, I don't feel quite so 'alone' now with my need to be alone.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I've been struggling with loneliness since my husband of forty years left me. It's been very difficult, but it's also teaching me that I had become too attached to him and had lost myself in the process. Now I'm trying to discover who I am on my own. it's difficult being without my best friend, but I also notice that I don't want to try to quickly replace him with just a warm body, I think I need this alone time to find out who I am now and that is a good thing. It's definitely not comfortable, but it is the right thing now. You're message really struck a chord in me and helped me a lot. Thank you for that.
You will find yourself again. Be good to yourself, spend intentional quality time alone in nature, try meditation if you haven't before, love yourself. Everything happens for a reason and this is your opportunity to come back home to yourself. Stay strong ❤
@@qazedc3 Thank you for the encouragement.
@@qazedc3 this is exactly what i felt … much love and Self love to you 💛🧡❤️
Great insightful video. I felt misunderstood growing up and still do. But being in solitude helped me read and really understand who I am- not the daughter mother grandmom or friend. The Pisces empath star seed me. The deep thinker me. It turns out to be the greatest gift you can receive. Because we all walk among people who dont get this incredible gift. So own it and enjoy the peace that comes with the solitude.
Through meditation I found that my purpose is Peace, Love, and Calmness.
I so connect with these words, so helpful to hear this words as I was confused, my family and people make me feel this is wrong, call me a hermit, loner... I feel my soul rejoices when I can share my spiritual knowledge, the rest is empty words, false.. I'm desiring less now more than ever but drawn to quiet spaces in nature, a book, sound of nature, birds... I am growing spiritually and its part of that growth but in a world that shouts I'm strange and unlike others... Thsnk you for sharing this,I love and connect to all of you
Being alone isnt a terrible thing..i love nature too..wish i could live in a forest away from people..the world we live in just drains me..wishing you a very happy 2023 to you ✌🏼
Yes nature can make you cry in joy of it's grand beauty in awareness of the moment. Peace and joy to you.
I have since been a little girl alone ..and found out it was very easy to be alone problems come in the company of others .. compromises that will eventually feel like deprivation of liberty ..... but for me it is an eternal dance between stepping into the community stepping out of the community ... and more now alone ... unfortunately for me has been feeling like I was crazy. what others think of me a recurring feeling but the older I get I'm pretty sure I make the right choice for myself to learn to trust myself and it changes the world that goes on inside .it can be hard looking on the world and see how it crumbles I often feel that I go inside myself the world is just a reflection of my inner ❤️🌍 and I do not want to interfere in what I see but instead of taking a step left to let it be live and let die
❤️
Seeing this at 333k views and "3 years ago". Really resonated with me. Sometimes I feel like I make up an ego for myself just to be able to fit in. Thank you for your content🙏❤
Thank you! I’m used to the loneliness by now but often wish I had a spiritual mentor to help me discover any gifts I have to share which can be used in service. Feels like my time here is almost up and I haven’t yet finished what I came here for. I think my sadness comes more from that than not having people in my life who share my spiritual beliefs and values. Time flies. I’m old already. Love to all. ❤❤❤
Feel the same.
@@deadreckoning6288 then here’s some love coming your way. You’re no longer alone. ❤️
I oscillate between the two, alienated and on my own path. I have struggled to deeply connect with many others that are vacant except to the trivia of the day. I don’t bother trying anymore. I get moments of peace and contentment but then go into the physical realm again. I am trying to get the balance of the two. I know there are other people out there like this and I believe in you 🙏. I had one person in my life that passed away that I connected to on this spiritual level that and deep sadness put me on this path I have always felt drawn to this way of life and on the outside. Bless you all that have chose the path less traveled.
I walk alone but am connected to all, we are never alone❤
Now 65 years old most of the path for me has been on my own. As an artist, an outdoor adventurist, there have been few other people who can show up where I want to be, when I want to go there….so off I go on my own. Most days I am my best company. I have found the social internet as a decent “community building” platform. After more than 45 years of my adult journey the peace is the gold.
Thank God for our dear animal companions on this earthly journey
🙏🏽🙋🏽♀️🥰@ Awaken Insight..TY 4 postn & yes alone doesn't mean lonely..I've been this way my entire life. Most of my family call me "odd"🤩. A new sub& NAMASTE ❤💛💚🤲🏽🙏🏽
Your videos make me want to cry, but not in a bad way. More in a “finally, I found someone who gets it” kind of way. I do long to find someone who I can relate to on a deeper level. As you said, I think it would be easier to be by myself than to exist in a situation where I feel so utterly disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I feel just...stuck.
Such a beautiful video and so many beautiful kindered souls in the comments. Thank you all for beings lanterns in this darkness. I don't feel alone knowing all of you exist. God bless you one and all.
Thank you 🙏 I’m presently alone on my journey..when I feel lonely I’m sitting with it and observing..I find myself saying I’m disconnecting and it at times makes me feel really sad..I don’t feel lost but find it hard at times 🙏🙏🙏
I lost a lot of my friends for petty reasons and so i’ve always been used to not having anyone to talk to. i love it. it’s comforting and drama free being alone.
