WALK IN SOLITUD, AN ANALOGY OF LIFE

🔊 Listen to Post

The WALK-RWD system, in its integral application, is a practical and effective SIMULATOR that we can use to experience life in various vital events of human behavior, in different moods, psychological and cultural, observing our attitudes and decision-making, and also in the conformation of the character and personality of each walker.

The individual who knows (dominate) to be alone and enjoys loneliness, have emotional capacity to integrate healthily into society. Some one can recreate himself in his own solitude can get to know himself and consequently improve his understanding of the social environment in which he is immersed.

Therefore, that person who feels good can be and trusts in his own feelings, is apt to be formally included in society.  (See post WALKING AND THE ELECTION OF LONELINESS. PART I).

Walking is a free flow of our being that allows us to leave ourselves, and each of the walks we do, we can serve, most of the time, as a simile of our existence of life. Thus, walking alone is a practical and very effective analogy of real life, which helps us instruct ourselves to understand the meaning of our existence; it is a learning SIMULATOR for illustrations in how we can be independent, responsible and modified to make certain decisions for ourselves.

Moving forward while walking is a natural process that is performed during the application of the WALK-RWD system, in the same way that the process we face in the daily event of our existence is performed.

Walking alone is like an analogy of a discontinuous part of our life, of our experience of living. A walk in solitude can guide us in the comet of advance in our daily existence.

Without a walk bringing together the total development of each of the various vital stages (Future writing WALKING AND VITAL OPPORTUNITIES), it does represent many of the crucial moments that appear in each and every one of them (See WALKING, AN EXISTENTIAL METAPHOR, PART 1 OF 4).

Walking in solitude allows us to reflect on our possibilities to perform away from external conditioning. For all types of life and at any stage that we go through, we have found ourselves alone; and in these circumstances of loneliness we have to talk with ourselves, questioning, encouraging, critics (self-criticism, usually not very convenient) and many other forms of examination -consciously and unconsciously- how we feel, with the ultimate object of publicity in what way we will take the next step in our socio-psychic-economic environment (See writing THE WALK AND THE LACK OF TIME that mentions important aspects about leisure time).

Each walk offers us that simile of each of the possible moments where we are presented with different options for acting in daily life, which we can scan away from that crucial moment that many times we do not know how to react, or, we do not understand the True, how we should conduct ourselves. These moments of loneliness can instruct us before seeing ourselves immersed in these behavioral dilemmas – in solitude – that we can hardly find someone who can guide us in how and when. Only we ourselves must face these difficulties, and usually face them alone.

That simile that we can make of those crucial moments, through our walks, which during everyday activities, come upon us and suffocate us, can be summarized in the following actions:

• Alone we must start the walk and decide the right moment of its beginning.

• Only we should finish the walk and decide the right time.

• In solitude we must decrease or increase the speed of our walk.

• We alone must decide if we continue on one path or another.

• In solitude we must make various decisions to read, write or draw, or simply keep in contemplation.

• Feel free so that in solitude with ourselves we think about a specific topic; either we observe the birds or any element of the environment that surrounds us.

• Our senses (the 5 external physicists and the other internal ones) must have them awake and alert, without being interrupted by other people, to put them in conscious attention to what we want to perceive, during our walk.

• In solitude, we can and should decide, during the walks, if we talk, listen, see, smell, etc., in certain circumstances and moments.

• During the lonely walks, we will contemplate and perceive the things that please us, or we will not do it, without having to listen to opinions about it.

The awareness of all these small experiences in solitude – while we walk – will help us to better withstand the conditioning of the social world, by the same awareness, but also, because the walking system, coordinated with reading, writing and drawing, we it releases during the time that we make the walk, embedding in our essence a sense of satisfaction that exceeds that period, giving us confidence in our attitudes, actions and decision making towards the complex and committed world that surrounds and overwhelms us.

Let us now decide to make the next walk thinking that it will be a true analogue journey with our particular and intimate existence, with which we will learn to travel it with greater care and tranquility, because, at least, our decisions in solitude will be observed from another perspective.

In solitude, you walk along paths that lead you to your inner self, to know yourself. (See writings WHO DO I WANT TO BE? WHO I AM?; DRAWING, TO KNOW BETTER OURSELVES; DRAWING AND THRESHOLDISM, TO KNOW OUR INNER SELF) In it, in solitude, you can better understand each of your emotions, your feelings and attitudes, and their respective antithetical forms, to certainty and uncertainty, constancy and inconstancy, precision and inaccuracy, to security and insecurity, stability and instability, consistency and inconsistency, perseverance and neglect, possibility and impossibility, strength and fragility, tenacity and renunciation, discipline and indiscipline, firmness and weakness, mobility and immobility, patience and impatience, dependence and independence, decision and indecision, to differentiate between options and alternatives, voluntary decision and indecision, and thus many of those states of social conditioning, mood and psychological for those we go through and who constantly question us in life. The loneliness, while you walk, will help you build, consciously and unconsciously, your character and your personality.

Walking alone is an analog practice to experience life. Let’s grab the loneliness of the hand and accompany us with it on the next walks. Let us realize that walking with her can guide us in the daily affairs that bother us and sometimes suffocate us. During the journey, we can surely find similarities with some difficult social, work or family experiences, which we have not been able to solve and thus we can visualize a quieter existence.
