Description - Overcoming Loneliness by Robert Drake

The SEARCH to FIND the LIMITS of OUR DESTINY In this fifth collection of anthologies in the series, the author reflects on his underlying belief that loneliness is the driving force of the human condition. Loneliness arrives as we separate from our mother at birth and stays with us until we die. We are wounded deeply by isolation and separation at many times in our lives. Loneliness is the reality of our biological condition: one that puts our soul and sanity at risk. This book is about our attempts to overcome loneliness by using science, intellect, love, art and mysticism. It explores the social imperatives that inhibit the reality, feminine and masculine, nascent in us all. It explores the ways, constructive and destructive, that we attempt to connect with forces and beings outside of us; and to connect with the life force inside of us. We must seek a pathway to contentment rather than omniscience, for knowledge is but one of many tastes in the meal of life; and one that we can never fully satisfy.
