When you meet someone in their auric field how do the physical and telekinetic energies intertwine. Is it the like minded approach of sharing common interests or goals; Sharing a common place like school or work? It feels like when we were younger it was easier to make friends because you were always surrounded by people. And how do you know who cares for you or uses you under the guise of false friendship? These are the painful lessons we develop over time when you expose your heart to the world. Find the people who soften your heart, let go of those who make your heart bleed with agony, stress, and regret. But how can you know at the beginning who to trust and who to shield? Even 10 years of friendship can end dirty because of money or greed. Power and lust. Enemies can become your greatest allies when you are aligned. How to be friend your parents not as elders, but as people? Spending the quality time to discern what is meant for you and what is left to truth. The older I get I feel more in solitude. Why is that? Is that what life is meant to be... Is it trust issues or spending time with my woman to then start a family until the day we die? Picking up a hobby to get involved in a community to find the people on the same path as you. Art, surfing, cooking there are groups of people waiting to be seen and joined. Perhaps we need to be with friends to ourself first before one can go out into the world to seek out that love. In a capitalistic society, quite often the most transactional friendships lead because we have to survive to pay bills and eat. But is that true? What if there is a friend that you appreciate without needed or wanting anything else but their presence. How do we foster friendships in this way. A healthy way so we don't fall victim to ourselves... Wanting something that was never truly meant for us. Another illusion. Loki playing tricks on us to keep us in that loop. Fill your hear with gratitude to create your peace. I learned we do not need 100 friends or millions of followers in this social media age. We just need 1 or 2 good friends who will be there for you when your mom or dad dies, who you'll be there for to pick aid or guide them when they call you for help. It is okay to ask for help. We all need a little help to get by. Who are the people you choose to uplift. Do they care for you or is there something else going on. Look deeply and suddenly you'll see what are the tricks and what is the truth. Friendship if fostered, can be forever. And, I believe new ones can be formed in the strangest place. Like in an elevator, or online. Theres an old saying by Epictetus saying "Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are." And Aristotle said, “A friend to all is a friend to none.” Real friendship requires depth! The virtues of Loyalty, trust, and intimacy that only grows when time and energy are invested. If I tried to be everyone’s friend then I would be surrounded by acquaintances while starved of true connection. Genuine friendship demands effort and vulnerability, and those things can’t be offered equally to a everyone. Although, there is a balance. Living with integrity means you can be kind to people with respect and generosity, while reserving your energy for the handful of connections that truly matter, that truly care about you when you have nothing left to give, steal, or take. Those who accept you as you are, naked and poor or abundant and overflowing. All the ebbs and flows of life. When you are at your rock bottom and your highest plateau.
