At one time or another in our life we experience solitude, the feeling of being utterly alone. In this extremely painful state of consciousness, a human being feels as if he has been thrown into an empty, dark space and no longer knows where he is or where he is going... Jesus himself was travelling through this murky wilderness when he exclaimed: 'My God, why have You abandoned me?' Sooner or later, every human being, even the greatest initiates, know this indescribable solitude. Why? Because it is a necessary experience. It is not when we are happy, satisfied, and surrounded by friends that we understand what is essential, that is to say, the truths of the soul and spirit, but when we feel alone and abandoned. In reality, no one is ever abandoned in the true sense of the word. Even when we have to pass through the most terrible ordeals, each one of us is surrounded by spirits and entities which speak to us and watch over us. Solitude does not exist. It is only a passing state of consciousness, and the only way to move through it as quickly as possible is to rely on the Being who sustains all creation.
