"I am alone. There is no God where I am." - Aleister Crowley
This quote popped out at me the other day, and it's stuck around. I know I have family and friends who I love and who love me back, but I don't think that's the aloneness Crowley is talking about. To realize that I am alone on a spiritual level...to realize that I am free to create myself day after day is liberating. There's nothing to fear about being alone. You really can't know yourself in a crowd. There is richness in the cosmic silence and absence of God(s). At my best moments, I like to listen to the silence. It's peaceful. It lets me know where I'm at.
