Lonliness on the Path to Enlightenment...

May 26...Loneliness on the path to enlightenment...

When one chooses, and commits to the path of spiritual growth, awakening or enlightenment it can at times seem somewhat lonely. Why is it lonely when one prefers the company of one's own self? What is the void that feels as if something is missing? Are we supposed to live like the Dali Lama in celibacy? Like Mother Teresa in complete dedication to a God? In service to the all that is and live a solitary life?

These questions seem to be in the forefront, and have been for the last few months as the acceleration of awakening seems to be taking place for this observer. In the desire for a deep a strong connection to Spirit, one seeks to find truth externally and turns towards the true masters that have walked the earth.

Many of them choose to walk the path alone with followers, students and vast quantities of people who had the capacity to hear what was being said. And others have chosen to have a significant other in their experience to do the work that needs to be done on the planet. Is it predestined or are we at conscious choice as to the path we are meant to walk?

In knowing that we do create our own realities it would seem that many choose life partners for reasons other than to learn lessons, to be of service or to experience life through the 5 senses. Some join in union because certain societies dictate that this is just what we are supposed to do. Others look towards another for happiness, meaning or security.

This is the unfortunate reality we live in, at least in Western society and yet what about coming together to experience deep, true, intimate love. Is it so hard to attract the soul mate for the purpose of fulfilling the mission that was chosen this time around.

In observation of what is, in knowing the principles of the Law of Attraction, and in understanding karma, it would seem that there are other forces working that are somewhat out of our control. It would be easy to enter into relationship for the sake of doing just this however, this observe is in the process of understanding the place of relationship and enlightenment.

As someone who feels that another is coming into the experience of fulfilling the mission, this observer also considers the role of many of the great master teachers. Alone or not alone? A question that is on the mind. Why? Just because it seems at times lonely...and yet it doesn't.
