Why it can be useful to be alone


 

In order to watch ourselves without judgment it may help to concentrate on ourselves by cutting out as many outer influences as possible. We can do this by seeking to be alone or by using aloneness in case it is there already.

Some people are afraid of being alone, others seek out to be alone, some are alone by force. One can always look from different angles. Now, let us have a look at a positive aspect of being alone: It means letting go.

Letting go of everything that stands in the way of being who we truly are, all values, judgments, programs, everything that forces us to live on automatic. An automation that holds us back from sensing ourselves and makes us subject to outer forces.

Being alone means to release the pressure of having to be someone we are not and to release the need to live a life others consider suitable for us. How can we figure out what WE want, why we are truly here, what our motivation is and who we really are?

Are we our body? Are we our mind? Are we our consciousness? Are we our soul? Who are we then? These questions can only be answered by oneself. Everything else would be a projection of external ideas coming from somewhere else. Only you know the truth about yourself, only you can discover who you truly are. Only you can sense and experience your own essence. Nobody else can tell you.

This is why it is useful to be alone. Alone with yourself, alone with the essence of your being, alone in the sense of "looking inside".

The outer world is our mirror and we do have spiritual guides by our side. Many people around us are exactly there when needed, even though we might not always notice them.

However, in order to find ourselves, to realize who we are, in the end we have to be the ones doing so, everyone alone. Other people might open doors but we are the ones who have to step through.

Exercise: Be alone with yourself, with your essence, with everything you truly are. Sense yourself, find yourself. You are the source of everything that happens around you. You are the only one who creates the life around you according to your patterns and ideas.

Rearrange those patterns and ideas in order to reflect who you are and make them your own ones again. Do not allow other people to use your power to create a reality they want. Create your own reality instead. Use your power to create what you want, live YOUR reality. Be yourself.

When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.
