Q: What about life in the world, e.g.; family, food, sex and money? Does aloneness require that I’d become a Monk or a Nun, and cut me off from the entire world? A: is love about family? Is a wholesome diet about food? Is intimacy about sex? Is wealth about money? Of course, not! Family, food, sex and money are all “God’s” angels, for me to know LOVE. When, for example, I do not make an enemy out of money, I can be with it or without it, take it or leave it! It is the same with solitude!

Q: I still don’t get it: why would I need to be alone to turn inward? A: Intelligence is to stop looking for LOVE in all the wrong places – out there, and go within to find out who you are. It is scary, as light is out there, while it is dark in here. Yet, just like you were born alone, you will die alone! Change is a solo job, not a group activity! Until you know the Virgo-virginity of silence, you will have squatters in your house, and desires invading your speech. If desire is the Teacher; THE END of desire is learning to be alone/ALL One, even in company.

Thus my gift is a scroll: it is written that I’d see that ALL is GOD/Good, and let go of “it is no good to be alone!” I will then be free to love the neighbor and stranger as myself, as I will be the One and the Other.
