Friend/Friendship    08.03.03    Jade Fire    Ellaeenah

Today you celebrate a day to which you have given a light name “Friendship Day”.
But you do not even know the meaning of friend. You only consider one thing about a friend; one who is there for you, one who helps you is your friend. And that is not the meaning of friend at all. You must now always know the truth behind your relations - always.  You are all ready to accept the truth. Do not now be satisfied any more with illusion.  That which you know, that which has been taught to you as the truth, is illusion.  Do not be satisfied with those answers. Friends are all those persons who have come to you to provide you with fondness, resistance, inspiration and explanation in the now dimension.

Fondness, that is very important to you for a friend.  You wish your friend to give you comfort, solace, love; yes that is important.  And those who give you this are your friends. But so are also those who give you resistance, who at every moment in time place a resistance in your path.  They are the ones you call your enemies and we will take that too.  They are friends by providing you with an obstacle.  They give you the chance to look for different ways and means to proceed.  The path of evolution is not a straight one; sometimes it goes in a maze of circles so that you can find your way out of that maze.  And the maze has to be placed for you by someone.  That is your friend.  He gives you no fondness, he cannot.  If he did, you would not consider his obstacle as resistance.  So he cannot come to you wearing the clothes of fondness.  He has to don the garb of an enemy.  But this is only a cloak that he puts on for you.  He gives you the opportunity to grow like no other friend does.  He comes to you with emotional resistance, physical resistance, he insults, he abuses, he derides, he condemns, he jeers, he mocks.  He certainly does not understand and he certainly does not wish to be your friend.  But to proceed on this path of evolution you have to recognize him as friend and not judge.

Now one who inspires you, makes you transcend the limitation of yourself   to something higher than what you had imagined you could attain.  That is a friend. Someone who refuses to believe in the smallness that you think you are, that is a friend.  Someone who knows even when you don’t, that you are capable of so much  more than you are scared to acknowledge.  That is a friend.  When you cannot find faith in yourself, find faith in the belief of your friend. In that belief  know that you are capable. 

Then there is a friend who explains without judgement, explains to you what you may not always like to hear, but you have to hear if you wish  to move towards the direction that your soul has guided you on to.  In fact, a true friend will always explain but will not flatter you.  Will not tell you that you are right when you are not.  Yes, certainly the friend may be wrong, because the friend is human. Are you then going to turn around and tell your friend, don’t talk rubbish? Accept the explanation, respect it enough to give it real and careful thought, and if after that it does not resonate with you, do not accept it. But do not ever judge it as being rubbish.

And all of this is done in the now dimension.  We know that you are not interested, from your human point of view, in a friend of the past or future; you are only interested in now.  So it would be foolish for us to tell you, love this son; even though he is your enemy now, he was a great friend of yours in the past.  You will not be able to do so.  You are still limited by the three levels that you work upon. 

So, Fondness, resistance, inspiration and explanation in the now dimension.  And why do you then attach the word ship to friend.  Your friend is your vehicle; it transports you from shores of lower vibration towards the shore of divine energy.  He uses himself as a physical body to carry you and your energy.  What a mission and what a task.  So you celebrate this day without knowing why.  Yes, embrace and hug all those who have given you the love that you require. It may not be possible to embrace those who give you resistance but when you return home will you at least embrace them in thought.  Embrace them for having hurt you. For having insulted you.  For having taken from you what you thought was yours.  Embrace them dearly and for the first time call them friend.  And you will find that you have many more of such friends than the ones that care for you.

Sometimes the greatest mission that a soul undertakes is to behave in a manner that is so negative and so hurtful and so mean; only to help you grow. And you must acknowledge that great friend, acknowledge them.  You have done it in the past for others.  You have also been mean.  You have also murdered, raped, scorned, derided, insulted and abused and you did it to help someone else.  May be now that person wishes to help you in return and is doing so in a manner that both of you decided was right. Celebrate all your friends, all of them.
