A friend writes, “Too often on the spiritual path I isolate to the extent that I get caught in my own head and I lose my ability to relate to people.  I begin to think I am superior to them in an intellectual or spiritual way.  I say I keep away because I don’t want to “be in their vibe” but the truth I feel unable to resist it when I’m near.  I say I’m just going with the flow, but I really feel adrift in an open sea, unable to navigate.  I isolate to find an anchor yet all that happens is I get caught up in my own head trips which makes me isolate even more. Only later when I read my daily journal do I realize my ego had complete control over me and it was all mental masturbation. Why do I keep doing this?”   Janell writes in Your Feeling Alone Is An Illusion  “You are cut from the divine cloth of the universe. You are carved out of that beautiful oblivion.“
