4. Why do I always feel so lonely?
Read Chapter 4 in the book
Loneliness
arises from the belief in the illusion of separation. The belief
is that you are separate from Love, God, All That Is--along with
the belief that you are separate from your responsibility in creating
your reality. No matter how many times you have experienced abandonment
from the outside world, it is you who are now abandoning yourself
and that continually creates the feeling of being lonely. So ask
yourself, “How am I not showing up for myself?--What loving
self-care can I begin doing for myself?” When you begin taking
loving action for yourself, you will begin to feel and then you
will be able to remember the true love that you are.
The truth is that God
is Love and God is All That Is. If God is Love and
if God is All That Is, one can only conclude that nowhere is there
anything but Love. We were all created in love, made as glorious
reproductions of our Creator. Love is the will of the All; it is
the motivating force in all things, even in fearful things. So,
what is fear? Fear is the absence of the knowledge
of Love but not different than Love. Fear is absence
of knowledge -a condition created in the realm of perspective or
belief. This realm is extremely powerful since your perspective
or belief determines your interpretation of your circumstances and
ultimately defines your experience. Some familiar forms of fear
are jealousy, resentment, anger, envy, frustration, and intolerance.
These fears are simply, “False Evidence
Appearing Real”.
The truth is…
we are Spiritual Beings having a Human experience. We are all sprung
from the same divine root and that root is unlimited, infinite,
and free by its essential nature. We all contain this same divine,
unlimited, infinite, and free core within our hearts. The truth
is you cannot ever be otherwise, although you have free choice to
play with the polarity - the judgment aspects of your Mind, continually
creating illusions of bondage, servitude and the need to control.
The whole of God is in every part of you because your
divinity is total and absolute. Many of us have thought
it was the other way around. You have never been separate
from Love for an instant and never will be, because it is your true
identity.
Man sees himself as having fallen
from grace and therefore cannot be part of the Spirit of God! This
is how the illusion of separation from God was created. When you
open your hearts to the love you have for yourself, you will see
the world transform and begin to experience more love in your life.
Gandhi said it so perfectly, “Be the change you
wish to see in the world.” All you have to be
is who you already truly are - Love in physical
form.
Transformation is not an intellectual
process so your negative beliefs can slow or even stop the process
from happening. Individually, transformation begins when you simply
say “yes” to your heart, “yes”
to love. Transformation occurs when you embrace and
totally accept the truth that is found in your heart. Transformation
is not about the intellect. If we could transform by our intellect,
our world would be a very different place. The intellect does not,
cannot, do it. The intellect was designed to be the servant of the
heart; however, through eons of time we have managed to allow the
intellect to be the servant of the Ego. The way to transformation
is to love absolutely that baby girl or baby boy that lives within
you and desires only absolute, unconditional love.
As we evolve as human beings we are
coming to know the truth that we are all created in Love
and are spiritual beings. The heart is
the source of your power, treasure, freedom, identity, and life.
The heart is forever connected to God, and through the heart you
will receive your blessings, the treasures of joy, love and the
ever greater abundance waiting for you.
To experience joy in your lives, all
that is necessary is for you to return to your heart. The heart
is the key to the treasures held for you beyond time and unlimited
possibilities. Dispel the illusion of negativity by placing your
attention on your heart and using the Power of Love
you find there to shape the world you want.
In your heart your Truth is
found. You are co-creators, made in God’s image and
thus you manifest the beliefs of your heart. The heart is where
you are connected to God, so all the power, all the light, all the
love of God pours directly and unfailingly to and through your heart.
If deep in your heart you are afraid,
if you believe your heart is broken, if you are afraid that love
will hurt, if you keep yourself protected, if you feel the world
is hopeless, if you feel that life is not worth it, if you feel
the world is about to end be it from pollution, chaos or war, then
God’s response is… so it is! Whatever is placed before
the opening of your heart is what God/Love will bring forth to help
you create. You are the heart of God gone forth to create.
There is only Love to create with. Awaken to
the truth of love and place your every resource with your true and
glorious heart and you will come to the realization that Love
is the only power. Truly, it is the heart with which you always
create. It is your Ego and Mind that places judgment on what you
experience, and up until now, filters what you actually draw in
and recognize as your experience.
Find the courage to tell the truth.
“The truth will set you free.” The heart
is your link to the essence of the soul. It is in
this connection, this capacity, that you are capable of containing
and accessing wisdom. Clarity of emotions gives you great powers
of discernment. It is only in the heart that the truth can be felt.
In the intellect, truth can be contemplated but not fully grasped.
In the final “understanding,” it is only the heart that
knows what is true. Therefore, embracing your emotions leads you
to the simple truth: The truth of who you are and what is the most
loving choice for you in each and every moment. The intellect can
never do this.
Another truth is that we are all One.
Therefore when we do for others we are ultimately doing for ourselves.
That being said, it would greatly increase your feeling of connectedness
(the opposite of loneliness) for you to find some way to be of service
to others. Being of service also gives you a feeling of appreciation
for your own life and that is how your reality expands into more
of what you want and deserve.
