At a certain stage of spiritual evolution, solitude arises naturally. It is not avoidance, but a way of keeping one’s field clear. Ordinary interaction can feel noisy, fear-driven, or self-reinforcing. Solitude restores clarity.
But not everyone at this stage of consciousness seeks solitude. Some are drawn into human fields because their life purpose is to serve, teach, or engage. Probably, more than half of seekers at this level find that their path requires long stretches of nature or withdrawal. The remaining are called outward. Their purpose demands a greater tolerance for and enjoyment of human interaction. The difference is not about higher or lower, but purpose.
