The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.
- Susan Sontag
Apropos sound alienation, thanks to TCG and Biblegateway for these interesting bible verses:
John 15:18-21
18 "If the people of this world [a] hate you, just remember that they hated me first."
19 "If you belonged to the world, its people would love you. But you don't belong to the world. I have chosen you to leave the world behind, and that is why its people hate you."
I suspect that alienation is a necessary step towards Awakening.

this statement rings true to me (re. alienation.)
It is also also experienced as a *dis*integration from all we believe to be true about anything whatsoever.
during this time we feel profoundly disintegrated.

Yes, it can be intensely upsetting.
