Aloneness and Insight

To be alone is experiencing that which is silence of mind. Silence of mind is the non-movement of self of that which is the noise of thought. The mind is ever chattering about the content of consciousness. Thought is restless and ever seeking stimulation and recognition. One can be alone and be in crowd of people or with a few or none. Aloneness is that state of awareness that is the realization of the wholeness of multiplicity, the fusion of the divided, and the understanding of non-dual relationship.

All one or alone is awareness and meditation of that which is absent the duality of self of the one who is engaged. This silence is not an effort or a result, but a realization of intelligence that sees into the very nature of self. Intelligence that reveals the hidden motivations of thought and the subtle machinations of neurotic behavior. One begins to have deep awakening, to be fully aware of every manifestation of conditioned thought. It is as though one moves on a different level of consciousness, a level that is not conditioned and therefore has cognition through stillness and silence. When the mind is quiet, then there is insight into the nature of thought and its relationship to the self and what is known. One observes the movement but is not of the movement.

Aloneness means 'oneness' which is the 'yoga' of light, of total freedom and understanding. It is the wholeness of existence. The outcome of oneness is insight into nature of relationship and understanding through the non-dual. The non-dual is the collapse of recognition through that which is the division of accumulation and the one who accumulates. One can only have meaningful insight when there is a synthesis of the illusion of the separative. Aloneness or oneness is the outcome of this synthesis.
