You might like the idea that you have many friends I know i did but what is a friend really...
is it someone who makes you feel good!
is it someone who understands you!
is it someone who makes you happy, sad!
is it someone who does things for you!
is it someone someone you confide in!
is it someone someone you socialise with!
is it someone that doesn't hurt you!
is it someone that does what they're told!
is it someone who is always there for you!
is it someone that lends a shoulder to lean on!
is it someone who respects you!
or is it someone who you can simply see as an extended part of yourself, is it someone you can fully trust with your entire being, a person who you can love unconditionally no matter what. That's a friend, now how many of them do you know... I found recently not that many. I used to believe I had many friends in fact if you were to ask a couple of years ago i would have probably said hundreds! but now I've come to realise that isn't entirely the case... I'll give you a little background. I used to be quite a full-on socialising, drinking party go-er in fact if there was a gig, party or something going on in town you'd be pretty sure i'd be there with bells on. I loved to drink (lots, probably verging on alcoholic), get high, smoke & socialise I'd constantly be in pubs & venues surrounded by people, I was the life & soul of the party I just seemed to know pretty much everyone or at least i thought i did...
The past couple of years have seen quite a few changes in my life now non-smoker, non-drinker, non-toxic ingestor vegetarian with a spiritual outlook in life, You can see how this may have confused a lot of the people i already knew quite a bit. I mean it didn't happen overnight it took a little while but slowly & surely i noticed a drastic decline in communication & understanding with the people i knew. I came to realise the majority of the people i knew where friends with only a small part of me, my ego, my personality, my personal reality & when i changed that reality a lot of people just didn't quite understand. It must have been strange for them because i mean i still looked, smelled & sounded the same (pretty much) but something was definitely different. I was amazed how many people my ego knew. I looked through my phonebook & realised i had no idea who most of these people where, it was as if I'd been running around meeting all these people whilst i was asleep & in fact that is exactly what i'd been doing...
The ego likes to feel important, likes to feel wanted, needed, it likes to feel superior as if it knows something that nobody else knows. Your being on the other hand doesn't care if it feels important, wanted, needed or superior it's just completely satisfied in the knowing that it just is without any outside interference at all. I found when i functioned through my ego (mind) I was surrounded by people who wanted me or needed me for something or people who made me feel good or bad with all manner of situations to go with them, always I was finding feelings & thoughts from outside of myself & to top it all off I was altering my mind-state with poisons all so i could fit in in the crazy world I'd created.... Now that's madness!!?
"People don't seem to realise that they create the world they see from the thoughts & actions that they make"
I've found when i function through my being, my consciousness (I'm still learning this) that all others have to reflect that. I started to notice a big difference this is when the decline in communication with my "friends" began. As i became more conscious of who i was there was just simply less & less people in the room & the ones that where left had to also become more conscious or simply also leave the room. To sum it up the people my ego had made so called friends with all pretty much disappeared out of my life & the few people that where left where either a little confused because something didn't quite fit but where willing to find out what it was or became more conscious....
So in reality I have found that not many people i know are truly something i can call a friend but mostly people I happen to know who just do stuff. On the brighter side to that there are millions in fact billions of human beings on the planet & once you become more conscious your world reflects that & you begin to make new more conscious friends. Such is evolution once you've learnt everything you can from something you move on & grow if you don't you become stale & stagnant...
don't fight it just let go....
