Chapter 1: Embracing Solitude
In this chapter, I explore how a period of isolation became a catalyst for reconnecting with my higher self.

My life took a dramatic turn after a tumultuous on-and-off relationship that left me feeling abandoned and questioning my self-worth. This experience plunged me into a state of total isolation from society that began roughly three years and eight months ago, lasting until I met my wife last year.
This isolation coincided with a larger societal shift, as the world faced a pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Initially, I viewed this period as an opportunity: “Great! I can focus on my creative projects without the distraction of daily interactions.” However, as time passed, I realized that this perspective was misguided.
While I did manage to complete two books during this time, I also found myself grappling with intense loneliness and a deep craving for connection. I went without seeing my closest friends for over eight months, which left me feeling drained and hopeless. It was during this time that a strange sensation began to build within me — a deep discomfort that escalated into physical pain, ultimately leading to my hospitalization.

Section 1.1: The Physical Toll of Emotional Pain
My experience with hospitalization is twofold. The first instance occurred when I was just 20 years old, dealing with an inguinal hernia that required immediate surgical intervention. The pain was excruciating, and I recall the urgency of the situation as a team of doctors gathered to help.
Fast forward to the summer of 2020, my hospitalization stemmed from a completely different issue. I faced severe gastritis that left me unable to eat, resulting in a rapid weight loss of six kilograms within two weeks. The multitude of symptoms I experienced was overwhelming — from skin burning sensations to relentless anxiety and panic attacks.
Despite my insistence on the severity of my condition, the emergency room staff dismissed my concerns multiple times until it became undeniable that I required medical attention. Eventually, they prescribed medication for my gastritis and a psychopharmaceutical to address my anxiety. However, the latter made me feel drowsy, complicating my already challenging situation.
After two months of waiting, I was finally admitted to a specialized unit for psychosomatic and gastrointestinal treatment. This experience involved a combination of therapies aimed at reconnecting me with my body, along with dietary adjustments.
Subsection 1.1.1: Finding My Own Path
Despite the care I received, I realized that the medical system could only assist me to a certain extent — the real work had to come from within. I am forever thankful for the support of my family and friends during this challenging time. However, many people around me struggled to comprehend my experiences.
There were also compassionate doctors who understood the balance between medical knowledge and emotional support, making a significant difference in my recovery journey.

After completing my three weeks in the hospital, I felt an undeniable pull toward a more spiritual path. In December, I discovered Joe Dispenza's book Becoming Supernatural, which opened my eyes to new possibilities and deeper understandings of my existence.
