I picked the Aloneness card from the Osho Tarot Deck and I love what it says in terms of loneliness versus Aloneness:
"Loneliness is the absence of the other, Aloneness is presence of oneself." It goes on to say "Aloneness is very positive. It is a presence, overflowing presence."
I really like that. I know that as I go on in my journey I am happier and happier with my own company. A really luxurious thing for me to do is to have a week day off work and just be by myself. Aloneness and solitude can feed the heart and soul.
We spoke about focusing and that is a really good way to experience the presence of oneself at a deep level.
