Friendship

(C. Jardin) #1

What is it?


It is that which is without condition, without limitation, and without need.


Because it is without condition, it requires nothing in order to be expressed. It asks nothing in
return. It withdraws nothing in retaliation.


Because it is without limitation, it places no limitation on another. It knows no ending, but
goes on forever. It experiences no boundary or barrier.


Because it is without need, it seeks to take nothing not freely given. It seeks to hold nothing
not wishing to be held. It seeks to give nothing not joyously welcomed.


And it is free. Love is that which is free, for freedom is the essence of what God is, and love
is God, expressed.


That is the most beautiful definition I have ever heard.


If people understood it, and lived it, everything would change. Your opportunity is to help
them understand it and live it.


Then I’d better understand it myself. What do You mean when You say “love is freedom”?
Freedom to do what?


Freedom to express the most joyous part of Who You Really Are.


What part is that?


The part that knows that you are One with everything and everyone.


This is the truth of your being, and it is the aspect of Self which you will most urgently and
earnestly seek to experience.


We do seek to experience it, every time we connect with someone with whom we feel that
sense of Oneness. And the difficulty is that we can feel that sense of Oneness with more than
one person.


Indeed. A highly evolved being feels it for everyone, all of the time.


How do they get away with that?


Let Me see if I understand the question. How do they get away with feeling a sense of
Oneness with everyone, all of the time?


Yes. How are they able to do that without getting into trouble?


What kind of trouble?


Every kind of trouble there is! Unrequited love, unfulfilled expectatiOn5~ jealous partners—
you name it.


You are bringing up a subject that will reveal the main reason there is pain and misery on
your planet surrounding the experience called “love,” the main reason you find it so difficult to
love each other, and the main reason you find it so difficult to love God.
