I'm pretty sure that the way to cure loneliness is to make the effort (yes, it takes effort, everything in real life does) to find a bunch of people to be social with. There are all sorts of people in the world, if you make an effort you can find some you share a bunch of stuff with.
I do feel connection, the Web of Life as Rachel Carson called it, I know that to be real. There is a very real connection between me, and the animals, and the plants and the water, the earth and all of that. My understanding of that, in both a spiritual sense as well as in a scientific understanding (plants produce what I breath, and use what I exhale) leads me to think that connection is very deep and far more profound then we understand. Yet, that does not mean there is a divinity shaping and affecting our ends.
Why is it that most forms of spirituality require some degree of isolation - meditating, some solitary focusing activity - while religions feel compelled to make everyone else go along with their imagination?
And why is it always this? Always trying to find those who suffering being alone, or desperate in some way? The Morman missionaries and Jehovah's Witness never want to find someone like me, hanging out in the sun, digging on Bob Marley and puffin' - someone happy with life to discuss god with, but are really out to find the sad, the desperate, the lonely and to prey upon them. It's kinda twisted really.
