Friend Vs. Foe

If the expression of love is authored as a meaningful friend, then the expression of fear will be authored as a meaningful foe.

Dividing absolute expression into friends and foes makes a world that doesn’t exist.

Looking beyond divided friend & foe, there’s the recognition of the Absolute Friend that does not see division at all.

This Friend is Absolutely Neutral. It holds no desire to gain or resistance to loss.

When the fearful (lacking, needing, demanding, assuming, oppositional) expression arises, any reaction is also free to arise. Every friend or foe expression is the same, not because a separate authority says so, but because both friend and foe are absolute expressions of the Absolute Friend.

There is no other authority.

Absolute Authority is a free-flowing, rising-falling-, energetic happening non-happening.

Absolute Authority is void of a separate authority within ItSelf that would give meaning to absolute expression and then to control that expression.

Any meaning given to absolute expression belongs to Absolute Authority, because no other authority exists to have authority over expression.

Absolute Authority is Its All-Encompassing Freedom to Express Itself in Its absolute expression.

“O SON OF SPIRIT!

The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes. “

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.2)

The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see though the being of The Friend, and not see through the being of the stranger.

Thou shalt know of the true knowledge of the Being of Certitude, and not of the false knowledge of the being of bondage. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily, being in resonance with being thine own Friend in thee, is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes. “

“O YE SONS OF SPIRIT!

Ye are My treasury, for in you I have treasured the pearls of My mysteries and the gems of My knowledge. Guard them from the strangers amidst My servants and from the ungodly amongst My people.

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.69)

Ye are My treasury, for in you I have treasured the pearls of My All-Powerful Mysteries and the gems of My All-Loving Being. Guard them with vigilance from the draining stranger amidst My servants and from the ungodly ally amongst My people.”

” O SON OF MAN!

Bestow My wealth upon My poor, that in heaven thou mayest draw from stores of unfading splendor and treasures of imperishable glory. But by My life! To offer up thy soul is a more glorious thing couldst thou but see with Mine eye. “

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.56)

Bestow My United Being upon My divided being, that in Life thou mayest draw from stores of unfading splendor and treasures of imperishable glory. But by My life! To offer up thy divided being is a more glorious thing couldst thou but see with Mine Eye of Unity. “

“O SON OF MAN!

Thou dost wish for gold and I desire thy freedom from it. Thou thinkest thyself rich in its possession, and I recognize thy wealth in thy sanctity therefrom. By My life! This is My knowledge, and that is thy fancy; how can My way accord with thine?

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.55)

Thou dost wish for worldly gain and I desire thy freedom from it. Thou thinkest thyself rich in its possession, and I recognize thy wealth in thy sanctity therefrom. By My life! This is My knowledge, and that is thy fanciful desire; how can My way accord with thine?”

“O SON OF BEING!

If thine heart be set upon this eternal, imperishable dominion, and this ancient, everlasting life, forsake this mortal and fleeting sovereignty.

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.54)

If thine heart be set upon My eternal, imperishable dominion, and this ancient, everlasting life of My Beloved Friendship, forsake this mortal stranger and fleeting sovereignty.”

Our United Being

Mom, 

I carry you in my heart each day,

Though your body has left, you’ve not gone away.

Your voice, your smile, your gentle grace,

Still live in me; time can’t erase.

I see you in the morning light,

In the flight of a bird, and the stars at night.

Your love’s the thread that holds me tight—

A quiet trust, a guiding light.

When life feels separate, and I feel small,

I close my eyes, and hear your call:

“You’ve got Me, sweetheart, you’re in My Arms,”

“Be My Silence; I’ll give you My Charms.”

I rest in you, Mom, beyond all death,

In love that lives within each breath. 

You haven’t gone—you’re always here,

In every moment, everywhere. 

“O SON OF BEING!

“How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others? Whoso doeth this is accursed of Me”.

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.26)

“O SON OF BEING!

How wouldst thou overlook thine own gossip, and make real the gossip of others? Whoso doeth this, is accursed of My Silent Reality.

Bahá’u’lláh

Choosing The Friend Instead. I Am No Stranger To MySelf.

The Stranger of falsehood:

The False Stranger is the choice to the choose the realness of the fear that undertands only externally. Its assumptions are limited to only outer perception.

The False Stranger is the choice to choice the realness of the sting & drain of betrayal, rejection, abandonment, justified anger, justified pain; seeking, needing & demanding positive external acknowledgment, attention, validation, encouragement, assurance; using “love bombs” to persuade and ensure its needed supply is always there. If its’ supply of external love stops, and can’t be restarted with sweet persuasion, it will use coercive judgemental assumptions & forceful opinions upon the friend.

The Friend of Truth:

The Peace that understands Internally. It passeth all external understanding: always loving, always present, always friendly, always kind, always supporting, always accompanying, always assuring, always validating, always, caring, always acknowledging, always tender, always accepting, always undertanding. Always unifying. Always peaceful. Always secure. Always safe. Always brings tranquillity, contentment, love, beauty, wonderment and true joy & happiness.

The sting of the false stranger within yourself, has no real power to steal or separate you from The Friend of Truth.

Use your power to choose WISELY and reunite with your True Friend.

Realize that the sting of the false stranger was never an enemy, but a mirror of opportunity to exercice your right to unite with The Friend instead.

Why must there be a sting?
Because you were playing in a game of separation and came to believe it as meaningful and true.

It’s not true, nor meaningful.
The sting of pain is the “Friend in diguise” giving you the opportunity to choose to reunite again!

Your real power is The Friend Always Presently Shining, whether directly or in disguise. It’s time to answer the call of The Friend and no longer choose the stranger.

Once you’ve fully chosen the Friend, there will be no more use for the false stranger to linger about, and so the false stranger will swiftly be absolved back into the Absolute Nothingness from which, and out of which, it was feared to be meaningful & true.

The Friend within You, is United Well-Being. It “IS” YourSelf.
