Kissing the Black Dog – Depression, Anxiety or (Spiritual) Loneliness

Have you ever been totally surrounded by people and felt no connection, no quality interaction?

Have you sat with a  group of people and yearned for some stimulating conversation?

Have you had to sit and listen as people talk about TV characters as if they are real, even worse, important?

Have you stood in a crowd and felt desperately alone?

Many people may be suffering

from a form of loneliness,

not  Depression or Anxiety.

There are many groups springing up on the internet where people from around the world can come together and discuss issues that are important to them. From supporting a sports team, fishing, photography to aliens and ancient civilisations and religion. People are reaching out to connect, to bond, to fulfil  their need to to feel important, valued, included.

While the vast majority of us are firmly embedded into the artificial reality of television and mindless consumption, others wish to stimulate great debate and open lines of discussion for creative solutions to our earthy woes.

What we read, watch and study creates an artificial intelligence that takes on the appearance of reality. We live a fantasy thinking it is real.

Empaths and introverts may be the most vulnerable to feelings of loneliness.  They tend to be more gentle and kind hearted than many they associate with, They are easy prey for the more socio – psychopathic natured individuals, who are insensitive to anyone else’s needs.

Sensitive souls, for the want of a better description are like children labelled ADD or ADHD and may find it difficult to deal with the callous, negative side of humanity and withdraw. Many times these people are highly creative, talented artists, craftsman and have a streak of genius that goes untapped as they build walls of protection to survive in this chaotic world.

Each withdrawal creates another barrier, another brick in the defence shield. Being less aggressive, they subdue their assertiveness and tend to listen or turn inwards, more than speak. Their insights are usually much deeper than the madding crowd, their ability to create positive solutions goes unheard by those who need it the most.

Many of us have become insensitive to our own needs and are loosing the ability to reach out and embrace others, to hold a space of compassion for those different from ourselves.

We are living in a world where everything we took for granted is being challenged. Scientists have just proven reality is an illusion. Nothing may be as it seems. There are people who intuitively understand these issues, yet have no way in normal society to express themselves or explore in a supportive environment. There is a need for us all to wake up.

Many are presenting with symptoms that appear to the untrained eye as depression and anxiety, when with some insight the real issue is these people have a high level of frustration from not fitting in to the normal  (Normal – lowest common denominator), having a higher level of real intelligence and being potentially great critical thinkers and solution creators.

Most of us a gullible, we have swallowed the yellow pill, switched off our brains the day we left school and are slowly consuming ourselves in a sea of stupidity.

Normality is (a curable)  form of brain stupor,

Many of the more sensitive, self aware people, freed from the bondage of normality, do not realise the gift they have. ADD and ADHD children usually have a higher practical intelligence. Many are much more astute than their parents which creates issues of self worth for adults.

The world is changing, the left brain (dumbed down) logical thinkers are becoming relics of the past as we as a species move into a more right brain creative nurturing way of operating. Ancient history indicates this is the more natural way for us to live.

Logic has lead us to the door of our greater potential, it is incapable of helping us step through to the next stage of our awakening.

The old guard are not giving ground and moving into a higher and more enlightened way of living on the planet. The disease that plagues their minds is slowly devouring them as they try in a last ditch effort to destroy our very existence with war, poverty and hatred.

The solution to spiritual and physical loneliness may lie in the awareness you are not normal and be extremely grateful that that curse has not been bestowed on you. It will take some courage to start to express your inner truth and express your own opinions. Sometimes the outer world of friends, family and associates is an immovable object and you may need to simply hold your space. Know you have the answers to the big issues and hold to that thought. Sooner or later the opportunity to show your talents will be presented.

Celebrate not being normal, have compassion for those who are

and hold the space (Love) and watch as life begins to change.
