Re: Solitary Man/Woman
My journey started in my teens. I offered to lead a study group in comparative religions to teenagers a couple of years younger, including my sister. I was turned down with a shocked silence: Is she an infidel? One of the group later became a bishop.
Then my journey really picked up 25 years ago. I found it harder to chit-chat and agree with the accepted knee-jerk responses. I met a man that truly was an avatar. He told me an incredible story of perseverance: He had walked alone in nature for 10 years, begging god to talk to him. Then things really started to happen. He had an aura that was so full of balm, it was healing just to be in his presence.
16 years ago the journey became a bit tougher with more of the sinister agendas being revealed to me. In one period I was in a constant state of mourning and grieving and worrying, also angry. But that passed, and I truly learned to embrace the midway path.
It has been somewhat of an agreement among some family members that I was obsessive in my interests.
Luckily I am able to share with those closest. And I have been richly rewarded as my life is deeply meaningful and exciting in an inner discovery sense.
Peace
