Loneliness is a very common form of human suffering. It starts with Mother Figure-Infant disconnect as the CAUSE. When the primary caregiver does not supply enough of the emotional ingredients for the baby to take in the blueprint of a warm, nurturing, available mother figure, it creates what I refer to as the “Hole In The Soul” phenomenon.
One can be lonely even when they are with someone. Human Disconnect is prominent. Just look at how many people prefer to be on their computers, cell phones, and, in general, move further and further away from what we need a as a human race to feel healthy: touch, eye contact, and EMOTIONAL CONNECTION. We are creating a lonely and isolating system around us.
There are different forms of loneliness, both social and individual. What we most value as a human race is family, relationships, and community support. All it takes is a special significant person to help relieve the isolating aspects of loneliness. Spend time with friends, family, community, and even pets. Especially around the holidays, it is important to stay CONNECTED and INTERCONNECTED! (see Panel 7 of the MIND MAP)
