The physical aspect of being human gravitates towards being pack animals.  We take comfort in being part of group – family, team, community.  Being alone is not valued.  When we lose our feeling of not belonging, we can become depressed.  It’s not the norm.  But the spiritual side of ourselves, the essence that is ever evolving towards its Source, can cause us to become separated from those who are following different roads to the same destination.

Sometimes we have to be on our road alone for awhile until we meet like travelers.  This can be lonely and disconcerting.  We don’t want to leave our loved ones or them to leave us.  We don’t want to part from what has been comforting for years, what has been safe.  We don’t want to be isolated.

But if we are to grow, if we want to evolve, this is what is necessary.  We have to know that this is a period of transition that will soon pass into a new level of being if we can have the courage to persevere.  You may feel as though you’re all alone, but open your heart.  Listen with your inner ears.  See with your unfiltered eyes.  Understand with your eternal mind.  That which is within you will eventually manifest into material form.  Robin Hart
