Real friendship among adults is only possible when there are no such needs anymore. Greetings Stefan P: Indeed! And being understood is just another gratifying illusion. How does anyone one knows the other person was even listening, let alone understood? Friendship, and romance demand certain duplicity. Uncompromising truth telling to a friend soon will the friendship end. Only someone who has no need of approval or understanding, someone that doesn't take offense, can be a true friend.

A: Sometime ago when I knew who I Am, I knew noOne was a better friend than I Am. I speak not of a philosophical or psychological personna, I speak of the Conscious Awareness of Love manifesting as OneSelf and radiating This. Bringing Light to All who live in Darkness, in the absence of Presence. Call it God, call it One Mind, call it Pagan, It Is What It Is, This Is, a Singing Mountain... the meaning of Christmas... Go, Tell It On The Mountains Go, tell it on the mountains, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountains That Jesus Christ is born! While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night, Behold through-out the heavens There shone a holy light. Go, tell it on the mountains, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountains That Jesus Christ is born! The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! Above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior's birth. Go, tell it on the mountains, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountains That Jesus Christ is born! Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born, And brought us God's salvation That blessed Christmas morn. Go, tell it on the mountains, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountains That Jesus Christ is born! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
