Loneliness and disconnection - what happens when we feel separate?


Listen Later

Lonely in isolation because of coronavirus? Talk of a loneliness epidemic? 

What's true about an experience of loneliness, and what's illusory and transient?

The mind will attach to an idea of loneliness, turn it into an imagined constant, and start on a quest trying to solve the suffering through other people or work or the pub.

But most of those 'solutions' have disappeared in the current situation, so now what? 

This is in fact an amazing time to see what loneliness really is - a temporary idea of me as a separate individual, momentarily experiencing fearful thinking.

The thinking passes and the idea of loneliness passes with it.

The more we see this is how it works, that who we really are is the constant conscious awareness of all of it, the easier it gets, and the more we find we're naturally moved to connect with people or not without a desperate imagined need behind it. Now knowing that none of it says anything about who we are or the state of our wellbeing.
