How do you deal with loneliness?

[fairyfarmgirl]

To offer a slightly different angle, in order to be lonely there must be someone to be alone. However if you come to realize that you are not actually a finite self, but a nexus at which the universe meets and experiences itself, loneliness is an absurd concept. This might not be as warm and fuzzy an approach, but I think that the sort of loneliness and angst we all experience is basically a result of our feeling like finite selves, when really we aren't. The person who lives behind your face, the "I" you refer to when you talk about yourself, is a linguistic trick and a figment of your imagination. There is no "I" nor a "You" but simply that which is. Thou art that. Thou art God.

Grokk it and rock it. lol

Good Greetings Mister Rabbit and ALL:

This is the ultimate destiny in seeking to know that the I is infinite as in I AM that I AM.

In the beginning is it not so that we are mostly unaware of this. To build awareness one must begin to live life fully by living with and through the senses... sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing, and intuition... this in the end leads to the knowledge that I AM that I AM which with practice becomes the Wisdom of I AM that I AM. Of course this is the path of the HEART or the Feminine.

I believe to do this through Asceticism it takes a long time over many many many reincarnations and is a much much more difficult path as well as being more STS in orientation... or to be termed in Tantra and/or Shamanism this would be called the masculine path. The way of the Mind rather than the way of the Heart.
