It is quite easy to fall in to the 'overgeneralisation' trap...even
after a spiritual awakening, if you were doing that beforehand.
There are many ways I could go with this..
The first is saying that you are NOT alone, because I am ALSO there...nobody understands me either...but wait...if there are two people that nobody else understands, is it possible that they may understand each
other? Muse upon it.
The saying "all is one" is nothing more than saying we are all made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms...OR we all have a divine consciousness within...and that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the way (most) humans act and behave, so it's easy to see where the 'separation' comes into play, the moment you say "I am nothing LIKE 'Joe Bloggs' or "Jane Doe"...they act like total idiots...and it's not a 'holier than thou' thing because I am always facepalming at human ignorance and stupidity.
However, to say that an awakening is like a 'rebirth' is true in every respect...sometimes it takes a quantum shift from everything you have ever known before into totally unchartered territory and it can be quite daunting, isolating and often times you will feel alone/lonely. This is when you need to 'find your tribe' so that through them, you can reintegrate back into existence going by all the ways THEY have managed to do so.
Good luck with it.
