Alone - All One, Awareness and Realization

The only person you're really with 24/7 is yourself. We are all connected at the core of ourselves. There's an all togetherness, oneness and equality within recognizing and knowing what it means to be Alone.

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. OSHO

Solitude

• Always make sure to create some Alone time....some time for solitude. Our best work and our ability to support others stems from our taking the time to cultivate, nurture, develop and mature our best development.
