Loneliness

Why am I lonely? I feel isolated from another, cut off from the world, so I sit with my thoughts of sorrow and replay past images or project some fantasy into the future. What is loneliness? Please do not just read this but go into it yourself, because through insight one can instantly be free of loneliness- that is a fact. To observe the feeling of it completely, to be with it, without trying to avoid or judge it. Many people feel desperately lonely and cannot bear to look at it, therefore they seek comfort in areas outside themselves. The reality behind this self-imposed separation is so immense, so unfathomable, that it pierces through the thin veil of loneliness. One must go beyond oneself to experience That which has no name but gives life to all.
