How do you deal with the human need for companionship when you are entering into a period of intense introspection and solitude?
Inspirations from Binah:
The human need for companionship is often twisted together with fears, attachments and negative ego. What we often think is a need to interact with another person, is usually an attachment and fear of being alone. Though we are social beings, the only connection we require is to Spirit, for when you are connected to Source, you are never truly alone.
That being said, loneliness is an emotion that haunts many and can lead you to do things you never wanted just for the sake of being with someone. Working through this to find a place where being alone does not mean being lonely is why a period of introspection and solitude is needed. It is not until you are physically alone with only your connection to Source and all the beings of the spirit world for companionship that you can fully understand the difference between an attachment to the distractions provided by another vs a true desire to commune.
Remember that extremes are unhealthy, that includes spending too much time in solitude. Take this time to understand the different facets of your feelings – asking your Higher Self to bring in any necessary beings to show you the way. Find the place where you want to be others because the interactions bring you love, not because you fear being alone. When you are ready, emerge from your solitude knowing that you are complete and stay conscious not to allow new attachments to form. Balance your needs for solitude and companionship creating relationships of varying degrees of closeness based on true love and friendship – you will find these more fulfilling that any based on fear.
