Divine Loneliness Guiding Us Home

We often treat loneliness as a modern malady, 

a psychological flaw to be cured with distraction and noise. 

But, What if it is a sacred inheritance, 

purposefully embedded in our very essence?

My art teacher, once told me that loneliness was placed 

within us so that we would never stop searching for our 

divine union and complement. It is this loneliness that 

serves as the true driver of our awakening, a holy restlessness 

that prevents us from falling asleep in the comfortable but 

incomplete world of ordinary life.

Mervyn, once observed that this very feeling of loneliness 

is often what stops people in the awakening process. 

The ache becomes so acute, the void so terrifying, 

that we rush to fill it with anything that might numb the pain. 

“...But you," he said, "you have a school that walks with you, 

protecting each other's divine loneliness, allowing it to do 

its sacred work of pulling us ever forward, ever deeper.

Christ said, "The Son of Man has no shoulder to lay his head on."

This is not a cry of misery, but a statement of cosmic reality. 

It speaks to a state of being so completely united with the divine 

that it no longer fits into the ordinary forms of comfort and consolation. 

It is the ultimate acceptance of that sacred loneliness.
