    You will have to REALIZE it by experience, not intellectual knowledge. Do indeed feel the loneliness, it's very precious but it takes courage. Eventually you will celebrate that feeling. We die alone, and we do not go to god in groups, we meet the guy alone. Feeling alone and beeing alone, is really not a problem. It just doesn't fit in with western culture. Not benefecial for economy.📿🕉️ If it's difficult to dit with the feeling, try to express yourself by intuitive dance,painting,or musik or even better, all three together. Enjoy it, be playful about it. It's a call from the inside to attend to yourself. Have fun, and good luck with it.🌺💎⚛️

Apparently, Gurdieff only liked being with toddlers or people over 55 or so because they are typically more authentic or less egoic. Sometimes loneliness breaks down societal programming and later, if you have been on a spiritual path and experienced altered states and awakenings and dark nights of the soul, then spiritual programming. After months of isolation I question my current ideas and beliefs and even my interpretations of my spiritual experiences. More layers are peeling away.

    Being lonely and being ALL ALONE are truly two different things. People have no clue how it really is maintaining stoicism as the decades life pass by without Friends or Family, you can easily end up truly alone and forgotten. Like the old people that were found dead in their house years later. Nobody missed them.. there's nothing artistic about it.. no amount of religion, art or meditation will help.

    *IM AN AUTHOR* I wrote this on loneliness the other day... ‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’ People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us. The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely. If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone. When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves. Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves. This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months. One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them. But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’. And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life. So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’. But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life. People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

    I’m reading Oprah and Dr Perry’s “What happened to you” and they explain how compassion fades after 6 months, so people who are traumatised lose the support over time, especially if they keep being re-traumatised or don’t have a good change to heal from an event. Then the person is more and more isolated as people pull away from someone with chronic trauma or ptsd. I’ve had chronic illness and the social economic impacts are worse than the symptoms itself. Our western culture is not available to community and connection, and “relational poverty” is rampant without local communities. I don’t know how to remedy this, I certainly don’t want to go back to dogmatic exclusionary religions for that community. We need more socio economic equality and outlets so that we can reasonably resource folks with the right talents and resources to support, rather than relying on a select few “givers” who are absolutely giving until they drop dead. Support nurturing roles, readdress the ratio of 6 supportive adults per child, elder, or sick person… we need a whole restructuring. Trying to raise your vibe or meditate to connection when you are literally socially isolated or suffering relational poverty cannot solve the problem.

    I enjoyed/benefited from your comment more than the vid, love R dearly though these topics are super serious and need special care in how they're talked about. I wholeheartedly agree with how you describe it. Dr. Gabor Mate says it's the response to the trauma that leaves you more harmed than the trauma itself - I've found this to be true in my life. Also Sebastian Junger talks about in Tribe that people who've been in war / seen war and been tight nit in a group, will yearn for these difficult times again when they felt such close connection and support (they get to experience the feeling that 'someone will actually defend me with their life') and can be traumatised with the loss of that connection / support when the war is over, they return home.

    I have reached the age of inner peace and comfort within my own body. I absolutely cherish the time I'm alone with my own thoughts and silence. A beautiful trip to a stream in the mountains surrounded by nothing but nature. Heaven on Earth 🌎

    Yeah its a natural pre condition to being a human. People are scared of it.. I have to mqke myelf social sometimes.. Maybe also extreme.. I like being alone but I do know lonelyness too, solitude it good, Lonelyness is like a scratchy feeling on the soul.. Painful indeed x

    Apparently my meditation practice has become to sit outside and watch these videos in the woods of my yard and learn how to more effectively live a calmer and more morally valuable, virtuous and impactful life. With everything happening now, it's become a way to take a step back and reevaluate which direction to go.

    I love being by myself. The last 20 years was a mess of to many people. High ,,pills,,,anything that would keep Me high. Then being by myself a stopped doing anything. I found me for a change. Everyone wanting something from me. Dear God it's nice to be by myself for a change in this life. Sober and clean. And when I go outside just for a walk I know that people are not going to give me the time to just walk by myself. Ugh ... Not Lonely at all. Just the opposite live me alone! Sober clean and loving me for a change.

    All of my childhood and highscool friends went by the wayside over the years. Trying to make new friends is impossible. Because finding my people. People who want to spend time hanging out with me simply do not exist. So yes, I am extremely lonely. I miss having friends to lean on. I miss having friends call to check on me. And I miss having someone to talk to who genuinely cares about how I'm feeling. Not just a paid therapist.

    Thanks for expressing the issue so well Russell. “When I feel cut off or distracted or incapable of an authentic relationship”. This really describes a true state of loneliness. I think we can feel this if we live alone or we are in relationships that are not connecting on the same wave length. But as you said, self work and a spiritual practice of meditation can help make one work towards self love. 🌈Love the tips at the end well!

    I desperately need some alone time. Nearly all the time I have is spent on helping others with their problems, which would be fine if my value to them equated to more than just a band-aid or a multi-tool. I definitely agree with creation as a coping mechanism. It's incredibly fulfilling to bring an idea you have to life.

    As someone who's in the process of recovery from behavioural addictions; I recognise much of my compulsive behaviour has stemmed from a deep seated feeling of loneliness at my core. I understand that now to be a desire to connect to something greater and more transcendent than my egoic self or the material world. I think that's the thing I struggle with the most when it comes to loneliness; that feeling of shame that tells me there's something intrinsically wrong with my Being! Anyhow, great video Russell, all my gratitude to you for it!!
