Sat Nam,
I would just like to say that I know what it feels like
when you are trying to help someone and they are either too
"defensive" or in the case of my friend too proud to listen
to anything. However, Intuition has whispered that it's
not my place to help people in that way, I will get drained
and I do. I think this is one of the hardest things, when
one is trying to help a friend that is so negative, I mean
so much that intellectually they interpret life as negative
so their Egos are "solid" you could say, and what hurts is
that they dont realize the self-destruction that will hit
them sooner or later, i've been there. Anyway, my inner
voice has told me it's not up to me, friendships are
important, but the principal relationship is the one
between oneself and the Soul. And when we have friends
that are too self-centered, proud, defensive, egotistical,
whatever, there's not much we can do but love them for who
they are and be there for them (like you said) through the
pain, after all it's during the painful times when
self-transformation begins. In a general perspective, we
must learn to give everyone on Earth their time and space
to find out for themselves the path of spiritual awareness,
i dont think it's up to us to fill them in on it. And if
we already are on that path, our mission is to receive the
power of the Soul and see for ourselves that Love can
change anything, here we've all seen this reality. A
friend may not understand and may reject our intellectual
help, but deep inside they never reject our love. I dont
have much tolerance for people, beginning with myself, but
once I tuned into awareness these are the things I've
finally let myself learn. Dont mean to get so personal but
I think all these situations are surface reflections of
what goes on inside of ourselves. How we treat a friend is
how we treat ourselves, if we really treat ourselves with
Love than there should be nothing for us to worry about,
there will come a time when we're happy with the world as
it is because we will realize that all of us have different
times (lives) for self-evolution and the world today is
still at an adolescent stage so to speak. There is more
ignorance than awareness. But it's ok, let the world
mature at its own pace, let our friends grow at their own
pace. After all, our destiny is the Soul!...it's only a
matter of time before we get there. Just wanted to share a
few words from the spirit.
Love, light, peace
Maria.
