Great parable! You are not alone, only if you can convince your(self) that you exist and hold that belief. The self that you believe you have is what you spend your whole life serving. The craziness is that no one ever asks if the self really exists. Perhaps it sounds like too obvious a question. However, the true result is far from obvious. The truth is, as self, we are all different aspects of the same thing (God, or whatever) without the knowledge that we are God. As soon as the self is realised to be false, you are no longer an aspect of God... you realise you are God and in that capacity, you ARE alone. Just thought I'd clear that up! Thanks.
