thanks for answers.
Yes it is true, words are very limiting when it comes to this stuff and more times than not are getting in the way when trying to explain something of such nature. Especially when ones lack proper experiance like me, maybe I should not participate in such debates. Sometimes I feel that all the different concepts and informations are fuel for to wild imagination and are getting in the way of silence.
I was mainly writing short version of what I know from what religions experiences described in texts (mainly from buddhist/hindu prospective) and a few personal experiance for now. It is very exciting to think so much more can be experienced and not just read about and that is excellent motivator for me.
I really like where last posts were going about SWMBO. I have never heard of this concept for now, I think? I don't really have a clue about what exactly she represents or is (in religions or philosophies?), from this thread and it is my first time reading about her.
Can you say something about her to help identify her (indirectly) so we can google for more informations or if you can do the honours of proper introduction here?
Well any tidbit you can share are welcomed!

Hi lostgirl,thanks so much for your always-kind words.You are correct in saying that it is loneliness/aloneness that is what is most conducive to getting to the "deeper things" and the deeper thinking,and ponderings and meditations that bring insights. That aloneness in nature can bring about wonderful interactions with Earth and her creatures too,btw.But yes it can be very painful too. See,it's not just that feeling of being essentially alone,even among my nearest and dearly beloved,with my beloved best friend,or in a crowd-it feels like there is this "void" As if a part of me,an essential part is missing. This has plagued me since earliest memories,i feel the "void" the "missing part of me" and i think That is the cause of the abiding sense of alone-ness that has caused me so much pain+mental anguish all my life long.
Bless you,dear

How does one know if one is family,Kev? and what is the ancient way?
Wish you a goodly day
First the • (Point), the Monad, Bythus (the Deep), the unknown and unknowable Father. Then the Δ (Triangle), Bythus and the first emanated pair or Duad, Nous (Mind) and its syzygy Aletheia (Truth). Then the □ (Square), the dual Duad, Tetractys or Quaternary, two males ||, the Logos (Word) and Anthrôpos (Man), two females, their syzygies, = Zoê (Life) and Ekklesia (the Church or Assembly), Seven in all. The Triangle the Potentiality of Spirit, the Square the Potentiality of Matter; the Vertical Straight Line the Potency of Spirit, and the Horizontal the Potency of Matter. Next comes the Pentagram ⋆, the Pentad, the mysterious symbol of the Manasáputras or Sons of Wisdom, which together with their syzygies make 10, or the Decad; and last of all, the Hexalpha or interlaced Triangles ✡ the Hexad, which with their syzygies make 12, or the Dodecad. Such are the Contents of the Pleroma or Completion, the Ideas in the Divine Mind, 28 in all, for Bythus or the Father is not reckoned, as it is the Root of all. The two small circles within the Pleroma are the syzygy Christos-Pneuma (Christ and the Holy Spirit); these are after-emanations, and, as such, from one aspect, typify the descent of Spirit to inform and evolve Matter, which essentially proceeds from the same source . . . The Circle of the Pleroma is bounded by a circumference emanated from Bythus (the Point), this is called the Horus (Boundary), Staurus (Stock, Stake, or Cross) and Metæcheus (Participator); it shuts off the Pleroma (or Completion) from the Hystêrema (the Inferiority or Incompletion), the larger from the smaller Circle, the Unmanifested from the Manifested. Within the Circle of the Hysterêma is the Square of primordial Matter, or Chaos, emanated by Sophia, called the Ektrôma (or Abortion). Above this is a Triangle, primordial Spirit, called the Common Fruit of the Pleroma, or Jesus, for to all below the Pleroma it appears as a unity. Notice how the Triangle and Square of the Hysterêma are a reflection of the Triangle and Square of the Pleroma. Finally, the plane of the paper, enclosing and penetrating all, is Sigê (Silence).
my apologies if it came off the wrong way.
I had to discard ALL of it and START OVER.
That's the only way progress is made.
