Yes, speaking to darkness does remind me of many people (most of the Sorcery community). Life often requires a fair degree of sadness to turn individuals down the path of Sorcery.
Yes, speaking to other worlds does remind me of many people, as well (again, most here at Sorcery have their own methods for achieving this).
What I think helps soothe the loneliness (to answer my own inquiry) is being loved the way we ought to be loved. That can be from ourselves, but oftentimes we don't know how to love--we must first be shown. I find the world to be a very dark place, but that's due to what I do, which is related to what I've seen, and that relates to bearing witness to the system. My AP has shown me the darkness we live in and from my perspective we are shallow and disconnected from spirit as a group (group: humanity). There are people within this group who have succeeded in connecting with spirit and nature. They are not the majority.
For those who are exceptionally connected with an ability to see--they can avoid being debilitated by learning how to limit their vision. Focusing on the good, the light, can shield out much of the darkness. This equates to isolating and solitude (for the mind, body, and spirit). Then if it's possible, to spread that AP further out, like casting a net, and then proceeding further outward.
You might be capable of knowing when a finetunement is necessary for you, in order to see more connection around you. Unfortunately, not everyone has their own shaman or another enlightned being to guide them. The majority believe materialism is the path to enlightenment, success, and happiness. There are some students who come from single-parent families, who are regularly shamed and belittled (and sometimes worse), who come to school wearing broken tennis shoes who don't have a jacket during the winter, and they don't have breakfast or dinner. They eat lunch because it's free. Some of those students don't even eat lunch because their parent never got around to filling out the federal free lunch form. I can't see recommending to those people (who eventually become adults) that all they need to do is "look a bit more to see the good". Some people have had very little good to see and before they can spot it, they require more experience with it. How we conceptualize "light", "goodness", or "connectivity" will largely depend on our experience of such.
What advice would you give to those who have known only neglect or abuse? Do you think they would even be able to recognize light if it fell into their lap?
