Dear Mak:

The title of your thread is “Something missing“. This is what you wrote about what’s missing: “I’ve suffered from psychologically ‘missing part‘ problem, feel like I have a black hole in me, something is not right… I lost my authenticity and my soul.. I got disconnected from myself, others, and reality… my consciousness is stuck in.. a lot of mis-understanding, delusions and illusions… I can’t get to be in peace with myself… I want to fly… I wanna free my Soul… soul is not separate from the brain.. It’s everyone’s essences. It is what makes the body alive and what makes Life manifest.. (the soul) doesn’t need the body to stay alive, It has been alive and It will ever be… ”

My input today: we humans are social animals. As social animals, we are people who need people. When a social animal, such as a dog, a coyote, a wolf, a deer, a human.. finds itself alone for too long, disconnected from others,  the experience of life becomes that of Something missing, a missing part, a black hole, something is not right, disconnected, stuck, inauthentic, misunderstanding, delusions and illusions, not being in peace with oneself, stuck, not free- all the words that you used, italicized above.

In other words: a human cannot be okay alone for too long. When the social is taken out of the social-being (ex. human), the being is left with Something missing, and that something-missing is a connection with other humans.

When a human, is alone for too long, an intense emotional experience of fear and despair intensifies and becomes so overwhelming that the brain/ body shuts down, and what results is a disturbing numbness, a feeling of profound disconnection from self, others and reality. That very disconnection is a state of imprisonment. We cannot be free unless we connect with others; the authentic human experience is that of connecting with other humans.

If what I wrote connects to you, or if it doesn’t- please let me know, and we can discuss this further.
