The Transformative Effects of Sacred Alone Time

The Transformative Effects of Sacred Alone TimeNikki Harper – In a world that seems to be constantly buzzing with activity and noise, finding moments of solitude can be a rare and precious experience. Yet, embracing solitude can be a transformative journey that allows us to reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level and tap into our inner wisdom. Sacred alone time offers a sanctuary away from the demands of everyday life, providing an opportunity to reflect, rejuvenate, and grow.

Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean feeling lonely or isolated. Instead, it’s an intentional choice to spend time with ourselves, free from distractions and external influences. Embracing solitude is about fostering a sense of peace and comfort in our own company, learning to befriend our thoughts and emotions, and discovering the richness that lies within. Continue reading

The Power of Solitude

Frank M. Wanderer – The Mystery of Solitude is one of the greatest mysteries in our life. As human beings, we are social creatures and, without others around us from birth, we would not even be able to stay alive in this world. Social space plays a crucial role in the development of our personality, as the direction of our development is determined by the expectations of other people and our desire to meet those expectations. That is how we become a part of a collective, social space called society, and society receives its special nature from the culture it alonerepresents.The book of our personal history is written in this social space, and our identity is built upon the foundation of our personal history. We are surrounded by other people, and their expectations and requirements are present in our mind when we are alone. Most people do not understand the difference between solitude and being lonely. Being alone is at the same time loneliness for us. The two words, however, mean two different situations. Solitude is the state of the mind, whereas being alone is the state of the Consciousness.

In the isolated state of consciousness of Ego-dominated mind we do not like to be alone, when we are alone, we think we are lonely, we find it difficult to tolerate, we try to avoid it. How we do it, depends on our temper and personal attitudes.

Extroverted people focus primarily on social life. When we are alone, we seek friends, go to parties, because we like to share our pleasures and sorrows with others. Continue reading

Solitude

“We more often than not are like blind babies in a beehive when it comes to the only person we can never escape from…ourselves!  It seems we will gladly do anything rather compare our own self image to that of our true self.” – Chautauqua

ManWoodsPathTreesA new born baby wakes up alone in the crib, and cries.  Genetic memory tells him it will bring mom.  Somewhere else that same night, a toddler barges into his parents room demanding to sleep with them, he’s not afraid of the dark as he claims…he’s afraid of being alone in the dark.  Just down the street the very next night a battered woman returns to the man who beat her, for the exact same reason.

Without doubt, we humans possess the genetic memory of when our kind was prey to predators in the night; which no doubt accounts for why we feel uncomfortable, even vulnerable in the dark.  We are a social species who first lived together discovering safety in numbers; and finding it also very profitable, chose it as permanent lifestyle.  We not only like the company of others, we depend upon it, even need it on a psychological level.

Our commute to work is often in a zone of solitude; which we immediately equip with phones, Bluetooth, DVD player and anything else necessary to prevent us from being alone with our own thoughts…and emotions.  Every day of our lives, much of our mental energy is devoted to avoiding prolonged periods of solitude.

One Heart

Earth-Keeper Chronicles May 3 2013

EarthGreetings Beloved: I am Metatron, Lord of Light, and we welcome this gathering.

It is Year One of the newly Ascended Planet Earth. In this extraordinary phase of linear time on your planet there is a uniquely opportune juncture for self-review and chosen solitude.

Masters, many of you, particularly those above the age of 49, the seventh 7 year cycle, find yourselves in a state of sovereign solitude.

Spouses have passed, children have left, relationships terminated and marriage contracts have ended and many of you find yourselves living alone. And although this path is at times quite lonely, quite difficult and may feel ‘unnatural’ for many of you, it is a seclusion of high purpose.

You see, in times of chosen solitude you are able to quiet the mind and open to Spirit …and in this process Angelic Gates open, and Spirit embraces you. The paradox is that in sacred solitude you truly are NOT alone. Masters, in detachment, however difficult, your separateness enables an un-entangled freedom for you to examine the self and your life expression in profound perlustration. And indeed that is truly requisite for all advanced souls. Places in the lifestream for secluded contemplation are ever present on the Path of Mastery. It has always been so.

So we tell you to use this time wisely, embrace it. You are on the cusp of a great graduation.

There is a recurring message in many of your religious texts: “For everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven”.

Divine Solitude is a noble condition, and one that offers quantum leaps in terms of growth, when understood, and recognized for its profound purpose. You see the Divine-Self is ultimately, conclusively alone in its final pursuit of omnipotence. In your terms, the soul enters the earth alone, and the spirit departs the earth alone. Ascended Masters that walk the Earth have for millennia sought solitude in their incarnations before achieving Mastery. So it is with many of you now.
