One person came believing that friendship can only be experienced in relationships that extend over many years of time. He left with quite a different point of view

As we make our way through the world, friendships become the greatest evidence of true love in our lives. To be friends with all people is to be in the company of angels.

This year, Drs. Daniel and Barbara Condron united their intuitive genius to serve those who desire to love more deeply, more committedly, more completely. The result is gratifying for us all.

One person came believing that friendship can only be experienced in relationships that extend over many years of time. He left with quite a different point of view, and several new friends as well.

Through his intuitive profile we learn how we can experience real love and friendship beyond the limits of physical time and location.

This one holds an idea that there must be shared experience in order for there to be friendship existing. We see that this is particularly true in regards to shared emotional experiences where there can be some kind of commonality of emotion. We see that this is quite powerful, however this is also quite limiting to this one and to the building ... of the association with others. We see that there have been many experiences that this one has shared with people where this one has not experienced a connection with them. We see, in fact, there have been experiences where this one felt at odds with others. So it is not just the fact that this one experiences with others, it is the expectation that there will be a common reaction to the experience and that friendship is built upon this.

We see that as a result there is some limitation in this one’s thinking and this one’s creativity in terms of this one being able to be fulfilled in the friendships that this one does allow in the life. There is the need for this one to be validated and therefore the sense of friendship is built upon that. ...

There is a kind of ideal that this one does hold within the thinking that this one is friends with all people. We see that there is not the recognition of how this one can live this way or can enact it. Therefore there is still the polarization that occurs in this one meeting other people, in this one having shared experiences but not the common emotion elicited or in even having the freedom of being able to define and experience relationships with others in ways that are foreign to this one.

Would suggest it would be most helpful for this one to begin to separate the sense of friendship from this one’s need for confidence and for stability within his own existence. Would suggest that by this one establishing and pursuing a kind of confidence within the Self as an independent being there would be a greater sense of freedom in the willingness for this one to open the mind to different concepts of freedom and different expressions of it and the friendship that can come from it....

You will relate suggestions for heightening this one’s experience for giving and receiving.

As this one would take steps for becoming more Self aware and more Self directed there would, as a natural evolution of this, be the awakening to that which this one has to give on deeper levels [and] in more expressions of the Self.

In the present time period, the means by which this one gives is limited to emotional reactions and when these are not in common with another then this one feels alienated or separated from them. Until this one owns this and begins to recognize that it is he himself that is creating the separation and not the other person, there will continue to be the limits that this one has set for the Self.

As this one becomes cognizant of the kinds of reactions that this one has, particularly to others’ reactions, then this one could begin to own his own thoughts. This would give him the freedom of being able to change them when they are not what this one desires or do not produce in the life what is wanted... It would be helpful for this one to consciously create an image of the variety of expressions that people have and to begin to embrace these, to look forward to these rather than to constantly seek out those who are like him. Much of the discovery of friendship is to recognize that there are differences and the differences stimulate the greatest learning in many cases. This is all. (2-10-00-BGC-2)

Some of life’s most treasured experiences are created as we engage in friendship with others. That’s what our Spiritual Renaissance Weekends have unfolded to be. Much more than what any of us expected, they are becoming moments in time when souls unite in bonds of love that stretch beyond the space and time of a single weekend.

The type of intuitive report excerpted here is offered as part of our Spiritual Focus Session centering on how we build friendships and how to cause relationships with others to be more spiritual and growthful for the soul.
