4/20/23 “Friendship” is where the real world – the extended world – begins. Family is where relationships are learned – mother to child, father to child, sibling to sibling – but friendship is where that initial education is brought forth and, shall we say, unleashed on the world. And friendship, in a way, becomes the world, the world of the participants (I’m tempted to say ‘celebrants’) of the living temple that is Friendship. A friend is that mirror to us in which we see ourselves, find ourselves, groom ourselves to be worthy of further friendships, relationships that blossom into veritable beacons of light when observed from on high. Friendships are a connecting cord that, though slacking or knotting from time to time, eventually establish a single unit, a bond that, while seemingly of two (or more), is actually but one grand thing: many headed, many hearted, but still one, a separate system all its own on the planet. Thus, when friendships expand, drawing more and more members to be included under the rubric of ‘Friendship’, the world takes a step closer to its ultimate goal of all-inclusion – a family, a new family of friends. Friendship is a canvas on which the mural of mankind is painted. The aberration of war is precisely that – an aberration – for it is, perversely, fought by friends, bands of friends on either side of the fight, warring with other bands of friends who happen to find themselves on the opposing side. But both sides of the conflict are made up of friends drawn together by the bonds of friendship. And yet never thinking that their counterparts are left in the same position - struggling to make sense of a territorial misconception of friendship. If a little imagination could just be applied… So friendship is the very basis of our understanding of the world. It allows us to gauge the adhesive qualities of the life we’ve been thrown into, the path we walk, the coherence we depend on. “If you and I can be as close as this, as trusting, as devoted as I to you and you to me, then perhaps this is merely an aspect, a beautiful aspect, a grand mirroring, of a fluid and ever-dependable dynamic within and without life itself; that maybe it’s true Spring will come again next year, that rain and sun really do engender the flower, and that that same sun will continue to rise morning after morning; and that if I continue to explore (by being faithful to my friend) Friendship, that I shall discover what the phenomenon – the living phenomenon - of friendship is teaching me. Is here to teach me. And will everlastingly accompany me as I quest ever deeper outward – extending my hand – and inward – extending my faith – in the glorious search of discovery of Friendship.” Say this and mean it, live it, and all shall be well.
Friendship is what binds us together

Anatolia: As you go about your life, as you work in your jobs, as you live in families or other relationships, what is the singular most important aspect of living? Is it the tasks that you do each day? Or is it the joy and the comfort you find in the relationships that you have with others? Friendship is one of the most beautiful and inspiring elements of living in the universe. It is what binds us together in tolerance, in perseverance, in faith, in compassion, in forgiveness, and merciful understanding. Throughout your ascension career, others who are unlike you, those who have come from numerous planets, quite unique and different from Earth, will surround you. Yet, you will each have something in common, and that is your quest to find the Father. This is what will bind you together in relationships, in friendships, to learn from one another, to draw from one another understanding of each individual's life experience, and that unique perspective that makes you see your situation, your path to the Father, in a new and expanded light. To the extent you can on this planet, we encourage you to keep the concept of friendship foremost in your minds, for it will strengthen you and nourish you as you go about your daily tasks, humble and monotonous as they sometimes may be. It is the essence of friendship. They will add a sweet savor to your life. I bow to This Spirit Within each of you. Go in peace. Good day. Olfana: Honor these friendships you are forming among yourselves. They have consequences for you above and beyond this life. They have consequences for you that have to do with your soul growth. They have consequences for you in terms of your greater aspirations and growth. How you become a friend to others in this world "counts for something" in a much stronger way than perhaps you now realize. And I would ask you to, indeed, even look to this example of the ways in which we Teachers are now offering you a relationship, a sense of friendship, and caring kindness toward you, as a model that, indeed, matters, in how you connect among yourselves. Let us all remember that we are to be joined by God in an eternal pattern that represents so much more in majestic potentials than we now even can conceive. And in that regard, make these "holy relationships," my dear ones. Make these holy friendships, in the best possible sense. Offer this sense of holy love, and appreciation, and respect to each other, and you will find that there is, indeed, a monumental way in which this will effect the quality of your life. You are all so loved by God's Creation. You are all so dearly cared for, by so many levels of compassion, so many levels of respect and worthiness. There are Great Beings who commit themselves to your watchcare. Remember that in yourselves, my dear ones. "I am valuable enough to God that He offers His angels in my service," and in that, become a prayer toward these Beings, of love and appreciation for this watchcare. You are, indeed, the cherished ones of angels, of celestial guardians, of the Great and Mighty Most Highs, the orders of many Sons of God. You are — that — important to the universe, and in that way, I encourage you to cherish yourselves as we now cherish you, also. You may be tiny seedlings, but you are precious plants, precious blossoms, and precious creations "in potential." And we hold these seeds in the palm of our hands, and we carefully collect you, and most certainly place you in nutritious soil, as much as possible in your own growth.
