Some people believe that solitude means lonliness. that is because they have only experienced the mind's version of being alone, a state filled with anxious thoughts, fears and stories but for someone more awake solitude is not the absence of others...it is the presence of being.
Eckhart Tolle
This is why I love solitude:
The spiritually awake person is not antisocial, they value authenticity over performance
To protect this awareness is not avoidance...it is wisdom
When you are alone the boundary between inner and outer dissolves...you feel the stillness of the room merging with the stillness within you
It [suddenly finding yourself alone after being with people for a while] is relief from the subtle tension your body carried while perfoming. You rediscover yourSelf. You sense the return of a spacious inner sky as if the clouds of social expectation finally drifted away.
When presence becomes your natural state any interuption of it becomes immediately noticeable....Most people live in constant interuption so they never feel the difference but you do and that senstivity is not weakness...it is evolution.
...roles are subtle prisons....and once you experience freedom from roles even a small return to them feels suffocating
In silence, you remember who you are beyond personality...you sense the living presence that animates your breath, your heartbeat, your awareness. This is the dimension from which true connection arises, not from performance but from authenticity
When you are awakening solitude is not just restful, it is transformative. Your consciousness is reorganizing itself. Old patterns are dissolving, a new sensitivity is emerging. This inner shift requires spaciousness; it requires quiet; it requires that nothing interferes with the delicate process unfolding within you.
Constant social intercation prevents your inner Life from blooming. The spiritually awake person senses this instinctively. They are not withdrawing from the world, they atre nurturing the deepest part of themselves.
You begin to recognize the greatest service you can offer the world is not constant social availability , it is the radiance of your own aligned inner state. When your consciousness is clear, your presence lifts others effortlessly.
The spiritually awake person understands something most people do not. Energy must be managed with the same care that others reserve for money or time. What you allow into your field shapes your experience of Life. The wrong company can dim your inner light. The right company can amplify it...and sometimes the most noursihing company is no company at all.
Solitude is not the absence of connection. It is the deepest form of connection to Life, to being, to yourSelf
In solitude the mind becomes quiet enough for the truth to be heard. You meet the living presence that exists beneath all forms. This is why you protect your space, not out of fear, but out of devotion.
All is well!
