If being alone is inevitable then you can transform the pain of loneliness into the purpose of solitude.

Solitude vs. Loneliness: There is a major difference—

• “Solitude” is the flow of living life fully while trusting in your self to be cared for, protected, and provided for by a Higher Power, call it “Universe,” or “Spirit,” or “Good Energy.”
• “Loneliness” is the belief that you are unlovable, you are not capable of ever connecting, that you are destined to be alone perpetually.

Solitude is based on the truth of agape love. Loneliness is based on the lie that you are self-isolated and disconnected.

Loneliness is the voice of the Shadow and Solitude is the voice of the Spirit.

Shadow work will help you discern the voices of truth and lies. Shadows can’t be snuffed or stuffed, but it can be illuminated and integrated with the Spirit. This integrated shadow state will empower you to never feel “so alone” again. You no longer will exclude yourself. Instead, in the shadow integrated state, you will have the conscious choice of choosing to exclude and choosing to include yourself.  The idea of “being alone forever” will be recognized and acknowledged as the voice of the shadow and once this is accepted, the spirit can come in to have compassion for it and help the soul choose a different path.
