Aloneness and silence are two aspects of one experience. If you wants to experience silence one has to go into one´s total aloneness.
I wondered, what happens when I go silent, just to see what happens to your personality when you press the off button. I experienced an enormous amount of creativity and understood the behavior pattern of Individuals/society/world and also learned that “different individual practices aloneness for different reasons”. I began to use my own life as a sort of laboratory to test some ideas, the outcome was amazing. I found I loved silence want to build a cottage inside of aloneness.
My friends started worrying about my loneliness, because we have the habit of getting frightened of anyone, who goes away from the crowd and develops Eccentric habits. Suddenly, they find you going out of their circle i.e. practicing a new set of behavior. But your society won’t allow i.e. your friends and relatives come and give advice in order to pull you back into the circle. And I believe everyone has a singular personal voice, unquestionably more creative. But they look in dark suspicion, when you use in more established method of that creativity – Aloneness
Why do we feel pain when we are alone? coz it hurts the EGO. Our Ego gets nourished in the presence of others, Ego cannot exist alone. When you leave others and enter aloneness, then you have to drop Ego, you cannot carry it with you. Our whole identity was our Ego, the more you alone the more the Ego gets weakened.
The aloneness can bring creativity. How? When you are alone slowly your thoughts can arise without the centre. Here, Center means your perception/knowledge, If you think through the centre, you cannot be creative because what you learn before, only can be accessed. If you think without the centre and you can connect to the cosmos and the secret will be revealed. That’s why, most of the scientists said, “they got their new idea for the invention, when they are silent” i.e. thinking without the centre.
LOVE these words on aloneness. Weak ego equals advanced consciousness and yes, creativity. Write on….
