Millions are choosing isolation over everything, and it’s a sign that…

[00:00:00]We live in a time right now where things are changing drastically. It seems like every single day it's something new. And along with our changing environment, there's also a major shift in our population. People are changing. The way we do things are changing. And I know I'm not the only one to notice this because I've heard a lot of y'all and other people talk about this. And as a matter of fact, let me know in the comments below if you've seen this. Just the shift in people. But, you know, among the shifts that have occurred, there's one that I've noticed recently that I never thought I would see, and that is the fact that people are actually choosing isolation.

[00:00:40]They're choosing to remove themselves from society and the modern world, and they're isolating themselves. And this is kind of a weird one because up until just recently, being isolated was often thought to be a bad thing. If nobody wants to hang out with you, then there must be something wrong with you. But I think this is being flipped on its head because people are realizing that the reason people are isolating themselves is actually very justified. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that we live in a very noisy world today.

[00:01:08]Everything's fighting for our attention.

[00:01:10]We're constantly distracted. We have constant notifications. We're surrounded by people that don't care about us. We now exist in these large population centers surrounded by thousands or millions of people. and we can't relate to any of them. As a matter of fact, a lot of us can't relate to the modern world in general. We feel like that we've been plucked from our old timeline and dropped into this new one. And nothing makes sense. Some of us feel like old souls, like maybe we exist in the wrong era. And when you live in an environment that is that noisy and that is that distracting and just that draining, it makes sense that you would want to escape from that. And I think that's really what people are doing.

[00:01:52]they're just escaping.

[00:01:54]But the more I think about this and the more I think about my own personal experience as someone who has been isolated most of my life, I think the reason here actually goes much deeper than this. And I think the real reason that this is happening is actually a massive silver lining. And to describe this, I'm going to use an analogy. Some of y'all are probably familiar with this, some of you maybe not. But we're going to tie this into dogs because dogs are nature and we can learn a lot from nature and there's something that dogs do both wild and domesticated that really ties into this and I've witnessed this personally. So, let me just take you back to my childhood. All right. I used to have a dog that was named Bear.

[00:02:35]She was part cow, part German shepherd.

[00:02:37]Beautiful dog. She lived to be very, very old. And one day, Bear followed us to the end of our driveway, which was very long because I grew up on a farm.

[00:02:46]and she ran out into the road and she got hit right in front of us. It was me, my dad, and my brother in the truck. It was very traumatizing, very sad, but she got hit pretty bad. And my dad went out there in the road, picked her up, put her in the back of the truck. We took her back to the house, and my dad was going to put her down. While he was getting the stuff ready to put her down, we came back outside and Bear disappeared.

[00:03:14]We went out every single day for three days straight and we called for bear. We searched the entire farm. We searched the surrounding areas. Couldn't find her. She just vanished.

[00:03:25]And then one day I walked out on our back porch and to my disbelief, Bear was standing there. I went outside to check on her and she had miraculously completely healed herself. Yes, she had some scars. She was missing some fur.

[00:03:41]She had some scrapes and some cuts and stuff like that. And she had all kinds of burrs and stuff stuck in her fur from where she had been doing who knows what.

[00:03:49]But she was there and she appeared to be totally fine. And she was because fast forward at least a decade later, she lived to be very, very old. I want to say 16 or 18 years old in human years, which is very old for a dog. But later on in life, when she was very old, she disappeared again for no rhyme or reason. and she just walked off into the woods and she never came back. And we called for her the same way we did before. We went looking for her for weeks on end and never found her. So naturally, this left me looking for answers. And through my research, I found that this is actually a very common thing that both wild and domesticated dogs do. When they reach the end of their lives, they will often isolate themselves and disappear and go off to die. And the reason they do this is because when they're in that state, they are very vulnerable. And being in a vulnerable position puts not only the dog itself at risk, but it puts the rest of the pack at risk to opposing forces and to predators. So the dog will actually retreat from the pack and it will go off on its own so that it can die. This is nature. This is a natural defense mechanism that is hardwired into these dogs from birth. Anytime that they feel a sense of impending doom and they feel threatened and vulnerable, they isolate themselves and they disappear.

[00:05:08]In some cases, it's so that they can heal. In other cases, it's so that they can die. And when I think about how this might relate to us, I think that is exactly what's happening. I think a lot of us feel so threatened and so vulnerable by the current situation that we're in that there is a natural innate sense this thing that is hardwired into us that is being triggered and it's causing us to retreat and isolate ourselves. In some cases it's so that we can heal and in other cases it's so that we can die. But when we die in this situation, it's not the same as what these dogs are going through. Because what I believe is happening when we die is that it's not us physically that is going away. It is a version of ourselves that was created based off of lies and manipulation. Because what happens when that defense mechanism is triggered and we find ourselves in isolation is everything starts to come into focus.

[00:06:09]All the stuff that we've been told to avoid, all the things that we buried, the version of ourselves that we buried, it starts to resurface. When we give ourselves that time and that space to just be present and to just feel, that is when we start to heal. That is when the version of ourselves that was created based off of societal group think and all of these inceptions and these false ideas, these these false beliefs that were planted into our minds, that version of ourselves begins to die. But this death isn't permanent and it doesn't mean the end. This is just us getting out of our own way and creating space for healing and rebirth.

[00:06:48]And that's exactly what I believe is happening. I believe that by isolating ourselves, we are giving ourselves the space and the permission to essentially lay waste to the person that we created and that we have become based off of who society has told us to be. And in the peace and the silence that we find in isolation, we are rediscovering our true selves. And that true self, it's been there all along. We've just been too distracted and too preoccupied with all the noise to remember that we exist. So the next time you feel yourself leaning into isolation and you feel like you're kind of being pushed there by an unseen force, try to think about it in this way. Try to remember that maybe it's just your body's natural defense mechanisms. Maybe it's just you creating that space for yourself to regain your focus and to see things more clearly, to see things for what they really are. And maybe that focus and that clarity that you gain from being in isolation is going to be the very thing that allows your true self to be reborn. Heat.
