Recluse

Me : Is being a recluse a bad thing ? 

 

Voice : Haha. Knew that was coming.

Me : No big deal to know - if you are in my head all the time!

Voice : It’s because 'I am in your head’ you have become a recluse !

Me : What ?

Voice : It’s just another quality. Not a stigma. Feeling lonely may become a problem, but choosing to be alone is different.  

And, really it’s because ‘I am in your head’ - like you said.   

Me : And how is that ? 

Voice : When you are alone by yourself, you are very naturally aware of My presence and this brings a feeling of fulfilment and so you never really feel alone. You are content in My company, not realising the missing social interaction.  

When you are with a lot of people, it’s not about the people you are with. It’s about you being absent with Me at that time. This distraction brings you the feeling of being alone inspite of a lot of people around. 

This is the reason why you feel you are lost in crowds and found in solitude. 

You find Me good company! I don't see choosing to hang around close friends a problem. 

Me : Ok, so I am not anti-social..

Voice : On the contrary, our deep connection allows Me to reach so many people through you. 

Me : How is that possible when I am not with anyone ?

Voice : Not with anyone only in the world of forms. But you are with the whole world when you are absorbed with Me. 

In the solitude of your surrender, you drift in My companionship. And since there is indivisible interconnectedness with all in creation, you allow My energy to flow to others without physical proximity. 

The feeling in your heart touches more people than you can understand. How is that anti-social ?
