The first kind of loneliness— loneliness for The first kind of loneliness— loneliness for the past— is regressive.

It attacks early in life, during adolescence or early adulthood.

We want to return to the place we came from.

We want the comfort and security of the good old days, the way things used to be.
 

How many times do your dreams take you back to early times—the playground, the backyard, the tree you used to climb, your grade-school friends?

This is the backward-turning loneliness, a hunger for the Garden of Eden.
 
There isn’t much we can do about it. We can’t go back.
 
The Bible says that there is an angel with a flaming sword at the gate of Eden, forbidding reentry.
 
Backward-turning loneliness is the mother complex, the wish to return to your mother’s womb.
 
It is especially dangerous in men, because it becomes the will to fail, the propensity to relinquish power and regress.
 
It’s the spoiler in a man, stronger than most men are able to admit. When you have an exam at school or an interview for a job and you feel terrified, this is probably The Fear of Success.
 
The Enemy is Inside.

You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you... even in the face of our death. The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more, I... I bequeath you, my son. 

You will carry me inside you, all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. 

The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I... all I can send you, Kal-El.

The Lowest Level of Hell is the worst. It is FROZEN. 

To reach The Coldness of Life — Loneliness and Meaninglessness — is The worst experience a human being goes through, worse than the fiery aspects of Hell. Under the guidance of Virgil, Dante gets to the bottom of Hell and just keeps going. You don’t come out of Hell through the door you entered. You go through it and out the other side. On the other side of Hell lies Heaven.

Dante and Virgil are in the middle of the world, which is where the Devil lives. And Dante gets through that nodal point, the point of zero gravity at the center of the world, by shimmying down the hairy leg of the Devil, and finds himself in Purgatory. 

Hell lays out what’s Wrong — the hellish dimensions of life — and Purgatory begins The Repair, what you need in order to be restored. 

You need to be treated.


The verb ‘to treat’ comes from the Latin tractare “ to pull or drag.” 

The earliest therapists had a series of stones with increasingly smaller holes in them, and you were literally pulled through —the biggest one first, a smaller one next, until you couldn’t be pulled through any more. You came out of this experience minus a bit of skin, but you were treated. 

Dante is pulled through A hole from the center of the world and begins his ascent through Purgatory, its many levels and teachings.

At this point, Virgil approaches Dante and says, “I cannot take you any further. One Greater Than I will be your guide from here.” 

Dante is shaken, because he has depended entirely on Virgil. Virgil continues, “Beatrice will guide you from Here,” the same Beatrice who had opened the vision of Heaven for him on the Ponte Vecchio.
