Alone into the alone and Holding Space (the lesson)

There is a saying that we come into this world alone and we die alone, there is also a notion of holding space with someone and that state being sacred. Though we are born alone we are at the same time holding sacred space with those in our immediate locale are we not, of course. though these experiences are sacred no matter how great or tragic they are both impermanent. Though impermanent the experiences can leave life long effects that can linger in the psyche forever. The alone into the alone is where we meet ourselves and get to know just who we are and what we bring to any space that we hold with another. Holding space is where we bring that " what we bring to the table", when we hold space with others at that table. The lesson that I have learned concerning these two primeses is that ; know that though the alone into the alone is where we meet our true nature, it is the act of holding space with others, that we get to know our relation to that and those we hold space with, that being said, master the alone into the alone and appreciate the holding space with others knowing that no matter how grand or bland that both states of being are , both states of being will pass and give way to the other as the saying goes "this too shall pass". All is impermanent. Enjoy! Carlos Thompson
