Hi, Jane,

Great question!

I haven't seen Abe address this directly.

Jane Petersen wrote:

I know that loneliness is fear. Fear of being alone. But I

took my mind any farther than that. Can it be, that loneliness

the fear of losing all connection to G-d, InnerBeing, whatever?

I would interprete loneliness as not knowing that you are never

that your IB/God is always present, and that you control your

with the direction of your thought. Loneliness seems to me to be

like the fear of being unsafe or abandoned, alone in the Universe.

know that being alone now is a gift to me, where as before I was

broader perspective, being alone was a curse to me.

And so, if external actions are made to try to connect with

and maybe all that is accomplished is distraction from that
loneliness (fear) and not a real connection, IB to IB, then it

only increase the discomfort? That if we _don't_ connect IB to

one another, that only makes the fear and the sense of being
disconnected all the more intense? That maybe in Western society

is much more the norm to NOT be connected to ANYONE else's IB?

Abe says that we become people pleasers because we so enjoy the
connection that comes from being in the attention stream of someone

is connected/happy. That being in love is the feeling of two

beings flowing pure positive energy all over each other.

Abe says that the true purpose is not to ask other people to be

in order to connect yourself, but rather be your own source of

through your own attention to that which is wanted. When you are

connected, you can connect to another's IB without their having to

connected! That is my latest definition of compassion.

I don't know if this helped answer your question, but it sure made

think!

Love and hugs,
