Hello Bearers, and welcome to another Bear Thursday!

Today, we are diving deeper into the spiritual journey and what comes with it. The spiritual path is the most wonderful road you can take your soul onto and experience the spiritual journey.

We are often warned by the incoming intense dreams, repeating numbers, and synchronicities that will come our way… But no one warns us about loneliness. 

No one warns us how lonely the spiritual journey is, and moreover, no one tells us WHY is the spiritual journey so lonely.

So here we are on our journeys, trying to navigate solitude and understand the reasons behind it. Are we doing something wrong? Are we doing something good? That's what we are talking about in this blog today!

The Beginning: Finding Yourself in Isolation

Maybe you've been on the spiritual journey for a while or you are just starting out, but if you are reading this article today, you probably experienced the lonely side of this journey.

"It may begin with cutting ties with a few friends, losing touch with people over time, or even being involved in big dramas that suddenly cut some people out of your life."

Everyone's path is unique and everyone has their own timelines, but to all comes the beginning of lonesome. 

You find yourself in isolation.

Sometimes, this process that starts removing certain individuals from your life can be gradual. 

It may begin with cutting ties with a few friends, losing touch with people over time, or even being involved in big dramas that suddenly cut some people out of your life.

This can be a difficult and painful process, but it is sometimes necessary for personal growth and self-care.

Sometimes this process cleans out most of your friend group… 

"The conversations that I used to engage in with these people no longer hold any value or bring me joy."

There you are, confused and left with a distinctively smaller number of people around you.

I've come to realize that even though I have a small circle of people around me, their presence makes me feel uneasy.

As I continue to delve into new perspectives on life and elevate myself to a higher level of consciousness, these interactions start to feel forced and unnatural. The conversations that I used to engage in with these people no longer hold any value or bring me joy. They start to feel like I am pushing something that isn't there anymore.

So there it comes - isolation.

Where ultimately you feel alone on your journey.

Loneliness vs Aloneness

At this point, we must understand that loneliness and aloneness are two different things. 

While loneliness can be a struggle, the transformative power of being alone can be a potent tool for personal growth and self-discovery.

Loneliness is when we feel disconnected from others, empty, or isolated. Even if we are around other people, we may still feel sad or alone. 

Loneliness has a negative connotation, and it usually implies that we are unhappy. 

On the other hand, aloneness is a state of being comfortable with being alone. 

It is the ability to enjoy our own company and understand that solitude is not always a bad thing. 

Aloneness has a positive connotation, and it implies that we are at peace with ourselves. 

It is important to distinguish between these two states as we navigate the spiritual journey. 

While loneliness can be a struggle, the transformative power of being alone can be a potent tool for personal growth and self-discovery.

Sometimes, the best thing for us is to be alone. But why?

 

Why Do You Have To Be Alone?

I know how hard it can be to walk alone on this journey, especially when you're constantly searching for answers and blaming yourself for being on this path alone. However, please know that it's not your fault!!

Being alone is an essential part of the process, so it's important to trust it. 

There are reasons why being alone is necessary and understanding them can help you to embrace this time and continue moving forward on your journey.

Forces You To Introspect 

Being alone offers us the nessecary space for introspection. It makes us look within. When we spend time alone, it gives us the space we need to think deeply about our thoughts, feelings, and actions. 

This reflection helps us become more self-aware and in tune with ourselves.

Detox from External Influences

Being alone can help people clear their minds and find their true spiritual path. When we're by ourselves, we don't have to worry about what other people think or what society expects from us. 

This allows us to focus on our own thoughts and feelings, which can be very helpful for our spiritual growth. We learn how to unchain ourselves from society's expectations.

Connection with Inner Wisdom

When we spend time alone, we can connect with our inner wisdom. 

This is the intuitive guidance that often gets lost in the noise of our daily lives and interactions. By taking the time to be alone, we can tune out distractions and tap into our inner selves. 

This can help us to gain clarity and insight, which can be useful in many aspects of our lives.

Cultivating Mindfulness

When we spend time alone, we have the opportunity to practice mindfulness. This means paying close attention to what is happening in the present moment. 

It helps us to be more aware of our surroundings and our thoughts. This can lead to a more intentional way of living, where we make conscious choices about how we spend our time and what we do. 

By being mindful during alone time, we can cultivate a greater sense of awareness and live more purposefully.

Allows you to realize you were never alone

As you strengthen your bond with the divine, you will realize that you embody love, and that the approval and joy you have been trying to find through others was present within you all along. We are all one. 

You will uncover a feeling of wholeness and independence that is genuinely freeing.

Reclaiming your Energy 

Without realizing it, we all give our energy to others. 

Relationships that are toxic can drain us of our life force, leaving us feeling unworthy and depleted. However, when we are alone, we can begin to take our energy back and learn to stay in it, no matter what happens. This is especially crucial for empaths, who are particularly vulnerable to absorbing the energy of others.

Cutting out Distractions

As you reach higher consciousness, it's only natural that anything that isn't on that level or isn't vibrating at a higher frequency will be cut out. 

Anything or anyone who isn't on your vibration level will disappear from your surroundings. As you are going to the next level, you can take with you only those who are heading in the same direction.

Test from The Universe

Lastly, it's all a part of the Universe testing you. 

Are you ready to let go of what you thought you need in order to make space for better things? Are you ready for the difficult parts of the inner journey that will lead you to the top? 

Embracing Alone Time

In the spiritual journey, there is a call to solitude. 

A light beacon calling out to all seekers to embrace moments of alone time as a sacred necessity.

Solitude is not a mere state of physical isolation, rather, it represents a deliberate and purposeful retreat into the inner sanctum of one's being.

Solitude provides an opportunity to detach oneself from the distractions of the external world and delve into self-reflection. 

This alone time is essential for spiritual growth, allowing individuals to connect with their inner wisdom, better understand themselves, and find answers to life's questions. 

It is an invitation to explore the vast inner landscapes where profound insights and spiritual revelations often unfold, guiding individuals on their transformative journey toward self-discovery and enlightenment. 

Embracing these moments of solitude becomes an essential aspect of navigating the intricate terrain of the spiritual path.

So don't be afraid to be alone, be happy and grateful that you've reached this stage on your journey as it will only bring more mindfulness and alignment. 

Hope these reasons gave you some clarity and insights!
