Here's a concept which might clarify, a little...

Imagine a very bright light enclosed in a light-tight sphere inside a fascinating room.

Around the surface of the sphere are myriad tiny holes through which rays of light are pouring.

Each hole is facing a slightly different direction and each ray of light falls on a slightly different patch of wall, floor or ceiling.

This is a metaphor for us. We are all from the same 'light' but slightly different from one another in a million ways. We think we are the holes but they are just orifici to enable the light to shine.

After a while, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, the holes 'heal up' or 'close over' and that individual ray stops shining; but the light from which all other light arises, can never be extinguished...

So... Although we feel 'alone', if you subscribe to this concept, we can never really be alone. Except that ultimately, there seems to be only one light. So that is alone! Maybe this is why we feel isolated - we are experiencing the solitude of Consciousness in the Universe...
