That quiet ache in the chest. As a child I used to think it was because I had no siblings and my father's job meant moving often, almost every two years, to a different city, a different country, once even a different continent. So, no good friends to be made, no solid connections. So I married twice and had three children, but the wound just wouldn't heal. Now I'm 77 and I think I finally understand what it is to be human and fragile and separate and I'm only now willing to stop trying to escape the unavoidable loneliness of a human life. Thank you Robert for expressing these feelings so beautifully.
This is beautiful, Robert. You really hit the nail on the head about this and described it so beautifully. I look forward to reading the book. (And it's a great cover, btw).
As you know non-dual teachers made the decision to place the entire burden for their lies and deceptions on these shoulders…and the shoulders of my family.
In doing so they also made the decision to silence and isolate me (both considered Human torture)…using those ‘mechanisms’ as a possible trigger’ for awakening *AND* to ensure their lies would never become public knowledge.
So there was ‘no mercy’…and, I would add, no integrity.
My choice was whether to betray myself in their use of such merciless tactics to cover for their lies and deceptions…OR to be the one-and-only person to NOT betray myself.
The book is "The 21st Century Self", and... well, yesterday it was not available for purchase yet. Today it... is? $49!?!?! Not giving it away, I guess.
That's Australian dollars, Pinback, not USD. Big difference.
However, like everything else, prices for printing, shipping, and the rest have increased significantly. I was shocked myself, but I don't set the price, and my publisher is not greedy, only realistic.

This resonates totally. Thinking that’s why many people (and me) want to be with cats and dogs and donkeys….

Thank you, Joan.
Looking forward to the new book arriving! Just ordered it. Thank you again for sharing your work ❤️
I have just purchased it !
Enjoy it, Fernando. I know you will.
Isn't loneliness a collection of feelings, thoughts and perceptions which is impermanent
Hi Robert,
As you know non-dual teachers made the decision to place the entire burden for their lies and deceptions on these shoulders…and the shoulders of my family.
In doing so they also made the decision to silence and isolate me (both considered Human torture)…using those ‘mechanisms’ as a possible trigger’ for awakening *AND* to ensure their lies would never become public knowledge.
So there was ‘no mercy’…and, I would add, no integrity.
My choice was whether to betray myself in their use of such merciless tactics to cover for their lies and deceptions…OR to be the one-and-only person to NOT betray myself.
I had no choice but to choose the latter.
Warmly,

Let's go! Somebody take my money!
What?
I am ready and excited to buy the new book.
I think there is already a new book?
The book is "The 21st Century Self", and... well, yesterday it was not available for purchase yet. Today it... is? $49!?!?! Not giving it away, I guess.

Hey, no complaints from me. Your books on this subject are the only ones that don't leave me rolling my eyes. ;)
