Relationships with Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances and Strangers
All the people in your life come in at the perfect time to enable you to see who you truly are and to allow you to travel your journey of self-discovery. In essence, they act as mirrors to how you are choosing to see yourself in the present moment.
In each moment you are choosing a perception of yourself within your reality. That reality was and is being created by you. In each moment, you are choosing to see yourself in a certain way. Your current perspective is always limited compared to who you truly are and expanded compared to who you thought you were. In the present moment, you are both a limited and the most expanded version of yourself. Your journey of self-discovery is one where you come from a limited perspective into a more expanded perspective of self within the framework of physical reality. This is the purpose of all physical existence. This is evolution.
Where are you on your journey of self-discovery? You can know exactly where you are by the physical conditions that exist in this very moment. Your entire reality is a representation of your current level of understanding about who you are. All of the people in your life are here to reflect back to you how you actually perceive yourself.
If there are lots of people who (from your perspective) love and appreciate you, then you are well along your way to knowing who you truly are. If your life is full of wonderful things, experiences, abundance, adventure, excitement, freedom, etc. then you have an empowering perception of yourself. If your life is full of turmoil, resentment, guilt, loneliness, lack and limitation, then you are simply choosing to perceive yourself as a victim.

Imagine that every single aspect of who you currently think you are is being reflected back to you by every aspect of your (outer) reality. This would include your relationship with every condition that exist in the present moment. Those conditions include your home, your mate, your children, your parents, your friends, your enemies, all strangers, your country, city, town, neighborhood, all other countries, nature, animals, ideas, concepts, etc. It is all a reflection of who you think you are in each and every moment. That’s quite a concept.
Nothing in your reality is random. It all comes to you for a purpose. If you meet a friend for lunch, that meeting is for you. If someone honks their horn at you in traffic, that interaction is for you. If something comes on the news, you are witnessing it for a reason. If someone offers you a new perspective, that is for you as well. The timing of all of this is also perfect.
Now imagine that you are unaware of this process
By default, since fear is an aspect of this reality, you will want to control it. Think about why you would ever want to control any of it. The control is based in fear. What is the fear? The fear is negative emotion. Since negative emotion does not feel good, you will want to control your exposure to it. But again, this is simply due to your perception of negative emotion when you don’t realize what negative emotion is. Of course, you now know that negative emotion is simply the most basic form of guidance.
Negative emotion comes when you choose to perceive that something in your reality is wrong or bad. The negative emotion (and the correlated intensity of it), presents itself only when you are choosing to perceive yourself as a victim. Since victimhood is a false perception of self, the negative emotion simply indicates that you are perceiving yourself from a limited (and false) perspective.
The entire system of physical reality is designed to enable you to come from false perception of self to a true perception of yourself. This is evolution. This is self- discovery. Who you truly are is an eternal, limitless and magnificent being of pure positive love and acceptance. This is the truth. All other perceptions of self are false. However, some perceptions are more limited than others. Some perceptions are more empowering than others. Emotions are designed to lead you from a limited perception of your self to ever-increasing empowering perceptions of self. If you could imagine an ending to this journey, you could see that it would end with the true perception of self as a magnificent, limitless and eternal being of pure positive love and acceptance. However, this process is never-ending.

Where you are on your journey is somewhere between two perceptions; victim and creator. How do you know where you are? It’s all relevant to how you feel about yourself in this singular moment. This is a fluid process, but you are always evolving. You might have momentary feelings of victimhood as you choose to believe that something is wrong in the moment, but your are perceiving this event from the most evolved version of you who has ever existed. You might feel like a true and complete victim, even though you have evolved over the course of your life to a much more empowering self image, but the feeling is awful. This is just the process of evolution.
As you start to perceive yourself in more empowering terms, you ascend to new vibrational heights. This causes you to become even more aware of your emotions. You become more emotionally sensitive. This is what you want. You truly want to know when you are perceiving your reality from a limited perspective. Your new emotional sensitivity is more powerful and you are more aware of your choice of perception.
If your choice of perception is more true, then you are more authentic. How you see yourself in your reality is closely aligned with who you truly are in the nonphysical. You feel good about yourself and your world more of the time. When something triggers you and you feel negative emotion in the slightest degree, you are aware of it. You then do the work to shift to a more empowering and truer perception of yourself within your reality. And the process evolves from there. This is the process of expansion.
If you are unaware of this system, you will try to control this process. Control, since it’s based in fear and a basic misunderstanding of the evolutionary process, leads to manifestation events designed in perfect timing to let you see where your limitations are. Since all of your limitations are self-imposed, you have the power to address them and soften them through a shift in perspective.
It’s a perfect process!
If you are unaware of this evolutionary process, you will want to control the people in your life and yourself as you interact with them. This is inauthentic and will never lead to anything you truly want. All of the people in your life are equal in the process of reflections. All of the mirrors reflect back to you certain aspects of who you are being and how you are choosing to perceive yourself. You have friends, enemies and strangers that come and go throughout the course of your life. Sometimes, strangers turn into friends, friends turn into enemies, enemies turn into strangers and so forth. But all of them work together to allow you the opportunity to discover who you really are and to evolve your sense of self.
You consider one person a friend only because they seem to accept you and do not trigger limiting beliefs. You consider another person an enemy, because they trigger limiting beliefs. You consider another person to be a stranger, because they do not fall into either of the previous two categories. But each and every person you encounter comes to you for one reason only; to show you who you are being and how you perceive yourself in your entire reality.

There is more going on in physical reality than you can begin to imagine. You perceive a tiny fraction of the entirety of your reality. Most of it exists below your conscious awareness. You are always being led into situations and interactions to serve your growth, evolution and expansion. Your friends do their jobs, your enemies do theirs and strangers do theirs as well. The timing of all of it is divine.
Let’s imagine that a friend calls you out of the blue and invites you to a party. This gathering will be comprised of friends, strangers and even enemies. The invitation is inspired. You will feel a bit of fear as you contemplate attending this party. However, you also imagine that it will be fun and so you push past your fear and accept the invitation. From now until you arrive at the party, you will experience momentary impulses of fear and you will receive urges to control the fear by changing plans. In each occurrence, you talk yourself through the fear and eventually arrive at the party.
The entire party and all who attend have been created for an experience. Every person at the party will simultaneously have their own experience and reflect back to you who you are being. Can you start to understand how intricate this is? There’s more going on here than you can imagine.
At the party, you will tend to gather with people you “know” and avoid people you do not “know.” However, if there is someone at the party who will present you with an opportunity for growth, you will find them. They could be introduced to you, they could be standing next to you at the bar, they could be talking to your mate, etc. How you choose to perceive yourself will dictate how this meeting unfolds. Your choice of perception will allow you to connect or not. If you are having a good time and perceiving yourself as friendly, funny, intelligent, attractive etc., the meeting will take place and you will get your opportunity. If you are perceiving yourself as dull, boring, unattractive, etc., you will miss your opportunity.
In the nonphysical you know everyone
In the physical, you cannot know anyone (until you know yourself that is). You believe that you know some people, but do not know others. You think you know your friends and enemies, but do not know strangers. You are wary of strangers. Will they provoke negative emotion? If you think they will, you avoid them. You judge them based on how they look, what they are wearing, who they are talking to, etc. If they are talking to a friend, you feel more comfortable with them. If they are talking to an enemy, you dislike them by association. It is all judgment.
What if you could attend the party knowing who everyone truly is? Wouldn’t that be fascinating? Wouldn’t that be fun? Of course you do know who everyone is at least intellectually. They are all eternal, magnificent and limitless beings of pure positive love and acceptance. What if you could realize this fact? Then you could know that how they are being around you is not who they truly are. They are simply being the mirrors to who you are being. Now, if you knew yourself in truth, you would know them in truth as well. If you perceived yourself in a limited perspective, you would perceive them from the same perspective. Raise your perspective and you’ll know them all in a more authentic and truthful way.

You are the creator of your reality. You are the perceiver of your reality. You are the observer of your reality. How you perceive your reality and every person in it is how you perceive yourself. That’s it. If you perceive yourself as the life of the party, that will be reflected back to you. If you perceive that you have something to offer, that will be reflected back to you. If you express love, that will be reflected back to you. And if you see yourself in any limited way whatsoever, that too will be reflected back to you by all those who exist in your reality.
Do not try to control other people. Do not try to control yourself. Do not be someone you are not just because you believe that others will like, love and respect that false projection. Be who you truly are, let them reflect however you are being and then become even more authentic. This is the process of evolution from fear to love.
