The Alone

 In some circles of spiritual practice God is referred to as a Power.  Another aspect of God, also a verb is “The Alone.”  This is a way to make sense of meditation which is done generally, alone.  Alone is away of being in the present moment.  It is not the same as loneliness, which gives one a sense of isolation and failure.  God has a lot of time to be alone before creation materialized into people, places and things.  So God knows alone and wants to share it.  Great mystics seem to come to a wisdom connection through spending time alone.  Jesus sent off to the desert.  Buddha sat under a tree.  Alone time in meditation keeps the ego in check, so that when you do go out to be of service it will not be all about you.
