I have just gone through the worst two years of my life and somehow, within myself, I started practicing meditations and enjoying solitude time to help with my healing. The healing effected both my physical and spiritual being. John Selby's book amazed me, because so many of his words, had been spoken from my mouth, before I even read it. It was like some higher power was teaching or reconfirming that I have the ability to live in inner peace. "Solitute" is not a book to be read once, or read it from front to back. It is a guide to self conciousness, and spirituality. It is a guide to being you own best friend. The meditations, and exercises inspire you to look deep within your soul and need to be practiced more than once.
As mentioned in the book, many children are ridiculed and thought not to be normal if they are not always socially active. I was always considered a loner, but inside I felt good to be by myself. Everyone else, tried to make me get involved in many activities that I would not have ever practised by choice.
The hardest part of enjoying our solitude, is the expectations of others or partners, who do not understand the concept of their spiritual or inner being. By saying spiritual, does not mean a Religion. It is a way of the life, given to you by some power be it inner or other.
"Solitute", inspired my deepest feelings and made me feel good about myself. John Selby has researched and studied hard to get to the great depth of his inner self. It is our great fortune that he shares and teaches us how to live our life to its highest and happiest potential.
I am by no means, a good writer, and I do not want to have my mistakes, reflect the greatness of John Selby's book. Anyone who is going through a hard time or just needs to find themselves must read this book. I am glad I did and will be looking to own a copy for myself.
