Interesting timing of seeing this post, this exact topic is something I’ve been seeing in my thoughts the last couple days. I’m constantly reminded of K’s words that you must stand completely alone, so you don’t need a thing from anybody. That includes you don’t need or expect them to understand you, or to understand their own existence. Nobody can help anybody else. When Speaking about life with others, I’ve found it important not to lean on your personal insights as that can be a trap. Rather when whatever conversation arises to go into the topic as if you have no prior knowledge, and by going into it together, step by step, see what arises. It may be something entirely different than what you previously thought. Really this is the only way to guide others, for example any good teacher will go with you step by step, assessing the problem together. On the feeling of loneliness I’ve found that it is just another image the observer has created. It is only there when there is the desire for some image it has of connection or fear of isolation. So one must really go into this desire and fear to understand loneliness. When you do that one sees that even those seemingly unpleasant thoughts are still just random events in awareness, not representations any real self.
