Although we want to be close with others, we maintain a distance so we won’t be hurt.

Our protection against loneliness is exactly what keeps the loneliness intact.

Loneliness is a journey we have to walk alone. Our inner disconnection cannot be resolvedby external connections.

We are constantly looking to others for love, support, and happiness, not realizing that the best person to meet our emotional needs lies within us.

The ego only understands love from a survival perspective. It doesn’t understand love from a deeper, spiritual perspective.

When we feel lonely, we are not lacking in love. We are disconnected from love.
