You are incredibly alone regardless of what forms appear before you. Everything you experience is internal. The stars are within.
Really, there's so many things you need to understand I don't know where to start. I figured this thread would have figured this stuff out. Some of you probably have. Hinduism and Buddhism explain it pretty clearly, calling the different levels of existence "the three kayas".
It's kind of depressing how much stuff we as a species need to rediscover before we really make spiritual progress. We have a much farther way to go than most think. Happily change starts within so you only need to change yourself. Sadly to do so takes a lot of effort because meditation is boring and we can't depend on anyone else to do the work.
Moving from ignorance to wisdom is only the first step. In the East it is said mundane life is like an iron chain and enlightenment is like a golden chain. Any fool can see being locked up with an iron chain is a bad thing, but many wise people will happily accept life with a golden chain binding them. So in the end even enlightenment must be let go of to be truly free.
Westerners in general have a long way to go to understand what the East understood 2500 years ago. Sadly much of the East has forgotten as well. I wish all of you the best on your journey.
