What does that mean?
There is a difference of great degree between Being Alone and Being Left Alone. Being Alone is a state one finds one’s self in. One might say out loud, “I’m alone” and it is true. Being Left Alone is a realization that there is an intention by me to experience the cessation of something like a person, an unwanted noise, an irritant, a distraction, or something else that needs to go away. And, it is gone.
Getting to the Bardo control to utilize this outcome is an art. I say this because many people suffer depression because of subtractive energy in their lives. Only by Being Left Alone does positive energy build with healing, replenishment, fueling and awareness.
I know of no school or on line program that teaching how to “get rid” of these things I have seen plenty that would like to teach me how to lock out, let go, allow internal energies to feel alone, or even that these are jewels of enlightenment. The reason I want to escape is a fault in my thinking, not the those things which need to go away.
So, not taking the “its all on me” path. I find this to be much like the analogy of throwing the child into the deep end and expecting the survival instinct to teach swimming, all in just a half of a minute. Without the relief of Being Left Alone, If I do not experience it, I am unable to think how a moment of this would be worth the battle and tough feelings to get the 30 minutes peace and quiet. This is the dilemma I think most experience.
