Inner Fear

[anagogy]

To me, all is one = forever alone.

I have a slightly different interpretation (though yours is certainly valid).  

I agree that if all is one, like one big giant ego, then yes, it would equal aloneness.  But in my opinion, all notions of self disappear in true oneness, and as such, there is no self that is alone, there is just beingness.  To me, "self" implies a boundary of sorts.  A division between "me" and what is "not me".  A self creates the distinction between "inner" and "outer".  It is the source of aloneness.  As this barrier dissolves, consciousness doesn't go away, but the sense of separation does.  And in the absence of separation, there is just unity with infinity, where all perception of "lack" simply vanishes because it can't actually exist.

Consider a person in a crowd.  Now imagine that person walks away from the crowd.  They are alone, relative to others, and feel it at such.

Now imagine a group of people.  They are individuals, but they are working in such perfect harmony with one another, that for all rights and reasonable purposes, they are functioning like one entity.  Are they alone?  Do they feel alone?  I wouldn't think so.

I feel like with each density, the individuals work together in more and more pronounced harmony till that harmony becomes so refined we are simply one being.  And I think that feeling of togetherness is more a reflection of the eternal reality than the lackful sensation we perceive as aloneness (without denying that there are positive qualities to solitude as well).

I also think the whole concept of alone kinda extends from our human tendency to imagine a centralized focus of personhood, whereas I tend to think that intelligent infinity has no centralized focus of personhood.  It's not in some specific "place" surrounded by darkness, in my opinion, rather it is the entirety of existence.

Anyway, just spitballing some thoughts here.
