Excellent write up sir. I think many can attest to the initial feeling of alienation due to the inability to outwardly express this philosophy. Everyone goes through that high then experiences a crash so to speak because they find themselves even more alone that before. I think many of us were already outliers of society for the most part yet this seemed to take it to another level.
Where I think many make a misstep is that once the work begins upon the self by way of balancing, they don't have a goal in mind. This goal in my mind is work upon the self so that one can be of service more intelligently, compassionately, and loving than ever before.
Yet many seem to only reside within the self. Constantly attempting to balance and rebalance. Hoping to attain something that which is not understood by me which is self purpose. When one progresses, they reach stagnation because they reach a point of "where do I go from here" hesitant to reenter the illusion so to speak makes many realize that such progress that they thought they had attained, was simply the beginning.
From here one has two choices, to sulk back into the shadows of one's self or dive head first back into the illusion and use the difficulties as challenges to further balance and crystallize ones self. Its this precise fear I believe that prevents many from further crystalizing by shielding ones self from the big bad illusion.
Ultimately, one has to come out of the shadows. This is especially true for wanderers. Ya gotta face this sphere with an open heart and mind ad apply that which we have remembered.
