Key Lesson Part 1
Nothing serves to create a greater sense of isolation -- a feeling of being cut off from life -- than being at the center of your own thoughts about yourself; where you live out your days as a castaway on the "island of self" upon which you have, unknowingly, agreed to abandon yourself.
Part 2
No wordly acclaim, possession, or relationship with the same can ever make us whole, let alone free us from the irreconcilable fear that comes with feeling ourselves as apart from others, and from life itself. Only by consistent, persistent interior work to remain awake and watchful can we place ourselves in a conscious relationship with higher, eternal influences... under whose authority we are released, at once, from the illusion of isolation and the dreadful sense of loneliness that comes with it.
