*Alan watts speaking*

To be completely alone

He's gone away into the forest to find out who he really is

Because it's very difficult to find that out while you're with other people

The reason is that other people are busy all the time telling you who you are

In many many ways by the laws they impose on you

By the behavior ruts they set on you

By the things they tell you

By the fact that they always call you by your name

And by the fact that when you live among people you have to be in a state of ceaseless chatter

Go into the forest and stop talking even stop think words

And be absolutely alone and listen to the great silences

R.I.P Alan Watts (1915 - 1973)
