9 - Aloneness
How to study this subject

When there is no "significant other" in our lives
we can either be
lonely, or enjoy the freedom that solitude brings. When we find no
support among others for our deeply felt truths, we can either feel
isolated and bitter, or celebrate the fact that our vision is strong
enough even to survive the powerful human need for the approval of
family, friends or colleagues.
If you are facing such a situation now, be aware of how you are choosing to view your "aloneness" and take responsibility for the choice you have made.
The humble figure in this card glows with a light that emanates from within. One of Gautam Buddha's most significant contributions to the spiritual life of humankind was to insist to his disciples, "Be a light unto yourself." Ultimately, each of us must develop within ourselves the capacity to make our way through the darkness without any companions, maps or guide.

When
you are alone you are not alone, you are simply
lonely--and there is a tremendous difference between loneliness and
aloneness. When you are lonely you are thinking of the other, you are
missing the other. Loneliness is a negative state. You are feeling that
it would have been better if the other was there--your friend, your
wife, your mother, your beloved, your husband. It would have been good
if the other was there, but the other is not. Loneliness is absence of
the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive. It is a presence, overflowing presence. You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
