If You are Feeling Lonely at the Holidays or Any Day, Consider This: There Is No One to Count on BUT Yourself
<html>
<p><em>In hopes of inspiring you during the holidays, especially if you are feeling low or lonely, we have some enlightened exposure to share from master alchemist @quinneaker. He has a gift for providing solution-oriented perspectives for overcoming and/or embracing life's "hardships".</em></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><center><img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/07e037fcc7.jpg" width="442" height="666"/></center></p>
<p><br></p>
<h1>The truth is: you are always alone.&nbsp;</h1>
<p>You always will be, and there is nothing you can ever do to change that. But do you know what it means to be alone?</p>
<p>As an experience, it can manifest existentially (living in an uncaring universe, being cast-out from the Garden, separation from God) or interpersonally (feeling disconnected, lacking support, social anxiety). These experiences are part of the spectrum of human emotions. But aloneness is actually much richer than advertised. Consider that:</p>
<p><strong>There is no one aside from you, no one outside of you, and nothing except your experience.</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This “page” and the “typing” on it exist to you as such because you perceive them with your senses. Your senses receive sense information, send it to the central processor where it is cross-referenced against an encyclopedic chain of meanings and definitions, and interpreted as a “page” and “typing,” neither of which (cross-referenced and verified) “is you.” Nevertheless, I challenge you to prove your identity, to prove that this page and the words on it aren’t as much as your hand, eye, or the tip of your nose.</p>
<h3>Totally preposterous? Look at this image:</h3><br>
<p><center><img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/0741f14cb2.png" width="319" height="352"/></center></p>
<p><br>
This is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Mach">Ersnt Mach</a>’s self-portrait, drawn from the actual perspective of his eye, and not as the mirror imagines him. Yet his full portrait is not just of the human elements and body parts, but of the entire scene, from the curvature of his brow to his boots extending into his study and through the picture window (this is the drawing that greatly inspired <a href="http://www.raptitude.com/2010/08/the-marvelous-decapitation-of-douglas-harding/">Douglas Harding</a>).</p>
<h3>There is nothing inherent in this picture (or your perception) that dictates or presupposes separation. If “alone” is a “disconnection” or “separation,” well, that idea comes from you.&nbsp;</h3>
<p>At some point you chose to connect “I-ness” with a human body to the exclusion of all the other possible “I’s.” You may not be conscious of it, but you chose the experience of distinction, to try what it’s like “be-ing” a human <em>(L. homo – “man” / humus “of the earth” + PIE *man- “man-creature”)</em>. The implications of this act are called “your life.” You began this paragraph as the sole subject in a vast UNI-verse of yourself and became a tiny world, a human being, subject to elation, excitation, and exhilaration, but prone to feelings of confusion, fear, and loneliness.</p>
<p>You are alone because all this depends upon you, your perception, and your judgment of that perception. You are always alone because you have no one but yourself to rely on, no one to answer to but yourself. Know that every person on the planet operates out of self-interest, the desire to enrich her or his own self. <a href="https://steemit.com/life/@gardenofeden/why-we-live-in-community-shared-values-benefit-the-whole">The people surrounding you</a> are there because it serves them in some way. You are hard at work trying to fulfill your desires.</p>
<p>That isn’t a criticism, just the way things are.</p>
<p>Look around and see the play of motivations. &nbsp;The most crucial, the most important and mother of all motivations is <strong>feeling good</strong>. That motivation guides every desire and action, from the most criminal act to the highest act of saintly giving and devotion. Your charity, your volunteering, <a href="https://steemit.com/life/@gardenofeden/giving-food-to-hungry-people-is-super-easy-and-fun-we-re-creating-real-value-s-in-the-new-economy-together">helping those in need of help</a> – even with your good intentions – you would not act if you received nothing in return (i.e. the satisfaction derived from giving without expecting a return, a reinforced feeling of “goodness”).</p>
<p>The people around you are the same way. You may have an amazing groups of friends or a supportive family, but in the end they wouldn’t be there if it didn’t serve their self-interest.&nbsp;</p>
<h1>The only person you can count on to remain and always be there is . . . yourself!</h1>
<p>That's <em>real</em> self-sufficiency.</p>
<p>The pain you feel in loneliness is real...but this is only the partial reality. When you look into the <em>fullness</em> of being alone, when you go to the true depth, you find not only the painful aspects, but empowerment as well. That empowerment comes from knowing yourself – knowing that you are the responsible party, you are the designer, the shaper of your experience. Even while operating under the perspective of “human being,” you have this power. When you come into a situation there is no rule, no guide dictating exactly how it affects you. <strong>Your power is that of your own subjective nature.</strong></p>
<p>Here is the essence of the New Paradigm. When you go to the depth of experience, you see that it is made of nothing. The bulk of material consists of empty space. And when you go to the depth of that emptiness, you witness the font of creativity, the origin of form, the nothingness from which all things are born (as in the <a href="https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@saramiller/steemitphotochallenge-entry-2-awaiting-his-holiness">Heart Sutra:</a> “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form”). Stated another way: because you are nothing, you can be anything. The New Paradigm way is in becoming established in this awareness.</p>
<p><strong>So the practical importance of this is that we have to become responsible in our lives.</strong> We have to stop shifting blame for our problems, and start relying on yourself for solutions.&nbsp;</p>
<h1>The pain of being alone becomes the power of being alone: you don’t have to wait for anyone else.</h1>
<p>Embrace, head on, fearlessly, the aloneness. Don’t be afraid of it. Meditate on it. See what it is. Sit in that aloneness, get to its depth, and realize: with yourself, you are never alone.</p>
<p>You are never alone. And you never will be. We are all one, nothing becomes everything. If you cannot be at peace with being alone you will never really be alive. In the peace and the harmony with being, divine unity is possible.</p>
<p><br></p>
<h1><center>~*~</center></h1>
<p><br></p>
<h1>We hope to inspire a shift in perspective. Many blessings to you, today and always!</h1>
<p><br></p>

@lifeworship · 
this is the demonstration of the fact that the individual, every individual, is the important one, and there is no such thing as a group. this is the fundamental misunderstanding of the collectivist. this is why statistics are dangerous. thank you for helping everyone understand this more thoroughly.

@onceuponatime · 
I got it from the website of a guy in Goa who organizes raves . That was a very long time ago, 8 or 10 years, and I have completely forgotten the details of the website or his name. But it is definitely based faithfully on the costume of a certain line of Tibetan shamans. I have seen other illustrations of monastic dancers in mystery plays wearing very similar costumes.

I find my greatest truth and power being alone. 
IN truth we are always alone and yet never alone for we are all one. The experience of self is a great play designed for....EXPERIENCE. Experience does not exist without self, contrast, ego. So it is that that creates suffering and also fulfillment or love. It is all a balance. The key is to become awakened and empowered enough to simply consciously exist, activating whatever it is you want. The ebb and the flow. The up and the down. 
The only reason people suffer when being alone is because they have ideas or judgement about what it means. Yet it simply is, as ALL things are. It is our interpretation that gives the meaning/experience. 
It is obvious I did not write this, but I hope it benefits many and I am grateful that my example has inspired such a blog. 
Blessings~*~

People looking externally for comfort or enlightenment will ultimately be disappointed. Be comfortable in your own skin and then you can be a comfort to others.

Thank you @stephen-somers! Looking externally for comfort is a dysfunction, but society treats it like it's normal. Bringing awareness to these issues gives space that it can shift, a better way can be chosen.

@tangmo · 
I absolutely agree with this statement: "The only person you can count on to remain and always be there is . . . yourself!"  

Frankly speaking, I usually feel lonely.  Reading this article make me feel better.  Thank you very much for sharing.
