It seems a wave of loneliness has swept through many in our world today.
In this video, Lorna Byrne describes how we have loneliness when we are not being our real selves around others. When we shy away from sharing what's on our minds or cover up parts of ourselves, others aren't able to relate to us, and so we are left with only surface-level connections in our relationships.
Lorna tells us about a recent exchange she had with Archangel Michael on the topic of loneliness.
She asked Archangel Michael, "Why would someone be lonely when they have a lot of friends?"
His response, Lorna recounts was, "Because they are not true to themselves, Lorna. They're not being them, they're not speaking of what's on their mind. And when you're feeling lonely... it's a lack of love."
Oftentimes, when we go out and socialise with friends, they might seem uplifted, positive, and energised. Though, beneath it all, they could be feeling lonely too. No one knows until one of us speaks up about it, and asks a question like Lorna advises.
We might say "Hey, there, I'm just wondering, do you ever feel lonely at times? Because I do".
Sharing with one other person the fact we sometimes feel lonely gives us the opportunity to talk about it as well as the many other things we tend not to talk about.
In that conversation with Lorna, Archangel Michael shared that it is spiritually significant we make that connection.
Lorna advises, "... you do have to talk about [these things] because spiritually you need to make that connection - spiritually and humanly, with human beings. And it's like we need to take down ... that veil that we have up, saying how strong we are...".
Lorna explains "If you go out today and you go out with the intention of being a caring, loving person, you will connect to other human beings. Whether they give you a smile or say hello and they're a stranger, or give you a handhold, and open a door, or maybe you're... pushing a supermarket trolley and they move out of the way for you. It's like all these opportunities we have to connect with another human being, to help to take away the loneliness that we feel inside of us."
Remember, it's okay to be lonely, but not all the time.
Because you are not alone.
Lorna recommends saying these very powerful words to yourself - "You are not alone."
