CIRCLES of Friendship:
I think of friendships / aquantinces as being in circles. Circle 0 is me, and a romantic partner if they exist.
Circle 1 is the fully reliable friends/family who are trying their best to be there authentic selves. These are soul family, or souls in other soul families that are wonderful on different missions- we reincarnate, live, and work together! A hundred thousand souls minimum are in this group, which I intuitively call “Warriors of the Heart”. Here we share knowing and full communion of trust, and all is blessed, and certain.
Circle 2 are the people who I consider as friends but moreso in we are really happy to commune in general, but don’t have that total trust or connection and resonance- and this is most of my friendships. These are incredibly beautiful interesting reliable souls who I am grateful to share space with. I fully believe in every single one of them.
Circle 3 are the people I love sharing space with in groups but perhaps not as much one on one… because theres less resonance… although sometimes these become the closest friends. Out of self protection, I most question souls in this area, because I know there is a dance to see if we are meant to share “mission” and communion as even closer authentic beings. This is where that shared freewill is born as a handshake.
Circle 4 are the wonderful people who show up to group events but who I don’t really know at all past the surface… sorta friends. This is where my belief that the world is full of wonderful people begins.
Circle 5 is aquantinces - which is where I like to keep most people, until there is any hint of resonance - and it takes the pressure off, because you don’t leave the house with any expectation to make friends, but instead, smile at life being a great big place full of perhaps wonderful aquaintences.
My sad inner child / inner teen / inner adult “emo” self aspect exists in Circle 6, along with all the rest of the people I pass by on the street. I have compassion for self and all other beings starting on this level
Circle 7 are people I actively block from life, because they are known to be toxic. I take a stance of firm neutrality here.
Circle 8, is everyone else in the collective social void. I smile at them all, knowing the void as I see it is no void at all, but simply the collective. I feel the suffering and joy and wisdom from here.
From higher consciousness, I smile and wave, to most, or resonate in the best way I can based on each soul. I treat others from this place as already being circle 2, though I mentally know they are an acquaintance. This is the heart of oneness as a choice. When I am in extremely high consciousness, I merge in connection to treat all souls as a circle one connection, fearlessly.
Friendship is a mirror to our own soul. From personal consciousness we see the mirror as well as the friendly soul in front of us. From shared consciousness we see Soul to Soul, and perhaps recognize all of the tiny icebergs of our shadow selves, and still say yes to eachother. From even higher consciousness, we are “Two, but not two”.
Aum

Consider circle 4-5 range with someone you haven’t gotten together with yet one on one. The place in the circle has nothing to do with desire to hang out. It has to do with action. Closeness has as much to do with the degree to which individuals are choosing to be their conscious selves. The whole thing has to do with the willingness to self realize and make the split between self aspects. When we start to become the observer of self- we self regulate, and we see the brains programs and patterns without reacting into them- and when we say yes to spiritual groups and practice at temples and show up- we start to enter higher states of consciousness. I’ve had passion to introduce you to all of this, because I see you as someone entering this work.
Work is the term I use because its a choice to face ourselves and fully see who we are. Knowing thyself is remembering our core authentic choice of who our positive ego is… its sovereignty. Its true freedom. Its a process.
To me the inner two circles only ever include the people who are saying yes to all of this (in their own way!).
Life is to short to lose focus connecting with random people who we don’t share deep loves of presence and virtue with.
Friends can all be vastly different people. Thats not what i’m talking about. The differences in everything are beautiful.
What I’m talking about is the core sameness. Thats the choice to realize what life is, how and why, and whi and what - exactly where we stand- that becoming the potent version of ourselves and welcoming our loved ones to do the same —- means LIVING. Thats what i’m interested in as far as the potency of others I know is concerned.
Its all about direct experience of people to choose to wakeup to themselves, because until they do (speaking from my own journey) its all just reactions and surface level humaning.
I want deep connection- with you, with anyone, who is willing to take a leap of faith in their own lives in their own way- to deep dive into their own core of being in themselves, and life — because these are the only calibre of people, who do that with others.
Theres a million ways to enter the path.
My friendship is in either helping people unto their path as beginner-intermediate souls who will stay the course.
I am passionate about genuine undefended raw LIFE lived. Thats a rare friendship.
Thats the best case scenario of the kind of connection i’m looking for in the inner circle.
But circle 3 is where its at! I love the wonderful group connections. And from there, relationship evolves.
I believe we have affinity between our souls. Our souls have known eachother before. Thats sweet. That means we are in the same soul family — which i’m understanding is minimum 100,000 souls. Its why anyone has a sense of knowing another person… and an ease of connection.
It simultaneous doesn’t mean a ton.. and is also awesome! The meaning is dependent on each souls choice of resonance.
Now occasionally I meet souls where its INSTANT full report with eachother… but even still.. those are like circle 3.. with the hope of circle 2.
I believe in friendship… or any relationship… with ourselves… family… friends… coworkers… being totally ok as “aquantinces”… until both parties are willing to take full self responsibility… and the armor we wear… and the masks out egos wear, can be removed.
This is the goal though, with you or anyone in my soul family!
The soul family I feel most a part of as my own, is called “Warriors of the Heart”. Many other soul families work with this family I feel a part of, and so some friends are within soul family as well, and others aren’t
Some souls wake up and others don’t.
Your higher self is asking to wake up.
But we incarnate as “aspects” of our soul knowing here… and along with that is the aspects of our current lifes story, conditioning, programming.
“Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose” 🎶
Are we willing to enter the dojo. Are we willing to learn from our own highest self… and pickup an audiobook or video on any of the subjects that lead us to our unfoldment.
The quality of ANY type of relationship I want with anyone else starts with me.
If I want to meet this next most amazing woman of my dreams - I have to embody my highest conscious healed self. Otherwise I manifest another unhealed person most likely… and as a form of avoidance, I feel “complete” in them… and ignore my own spiritual pathwork of fully merging with my higher soul consciousness… and I avoid the shadow work necessary to fully accept why I am the way I am… why this “story of Ian” is struggling in the way he is VS the ways I am self sabotaging myself.
When we make any truer amazing friendships, we not only see them as a mirrors to our own unfoldment, but we see the other person unique soul and celebrate it.
I see the quality of your soul emergence asking to become Laura. I see that higher aspect saying yes to going to women’s groups and finding some connection to who you were as a child getting to have a say in who you are as an adult… playful and free.
Its all your choice.
None of it has anything to do with me or anyone else. Its all about you.
But once that is OWNED…
then your SOUL comes thru in your presence - a higher degree of your power and potency of “you”ness comes thru.
Thats all I have ever said yes to, in myself, and others, in conscious connection. Authenticity is a choice to live this out fully.
I’m standing on an open road and saying hello!
Those are the kind of friends I want having my back.
I was meant to share this with you whether we are close friends or not. Regardless, the invitation to further connect you with you, and thus you with me, and the honor of our connection as its been is certain and appreciated mutually.
Sometimes we meet people for a brief period of our incarnation together for a single sentence or even a look… this is how deep the mirroring in this reality matters. Its all about your awakening. Past this point its all about EVERYONES awakening. This is the buddhist “heart of compassion”. May all beings be happy.
We only get there by first being the opposite. Everyone I know who has evolved has first de-evolved. This entropy is necessary for the freshness of spring.
We are, in spiritual awakening, or conscious friendship, doing the exact same thing if its healthy. We’re encouraging the beautiful emanations of ourselves and others to LIVE!
Thats a good friend.
My “mistake” is in the past believing that someone is safe or right to be in circle 0, 1, 2, or 3 with me who isn’t. Its why I’ve struggled and learned in these mistakes… and evolved into boundaries and choices that actually manifest me wonderful people in my life. We make choices and see results. When our choices are in alignment with what we want… the universe hears our declarations and brings people in alignment with us into our lives.
Romantic relationship problems don’t exist - if the people are compatible - but rather 1 or both participants in the relationship are terrified to turn inwards and look at themselves. Thus, romantic relationships ARE a path of spiritual awakening. They should allow us the freedom and alignement with ourselves becoming our highest next best selves… in change… growth.. expansion - and the same for our partner. We need to see the other at the core. If we can’t do this with ourselves… we’re “thinking” a relationship. Thats what egos do. We are souls. We want to feel and know a relationship.
Real love is a quality within an individual soul. Its a virtue. My close friends strive and choose to be loving. They choose to be courageous, to be honest. In virtue: viacharacter.org Decide if you are ready to become you, and are ready to hold that intention for me. Life is so short to not say yes to this for me. We become the people in our closest circle.
I think you are awesome. This is seeing the spark of divine in others that gets unlocked in realization. You gotta make some big leaps of faith to enter your own sense of awesome. Yes, I either help friends to this level of embodiment, or they show up in my life already embodying this potent awakening pathwork of theirs in their own way. And still others show up to shake me up. We are all mirrors, AND souls.
My intention in connection with anyone is strongly rooted in the importance of freedom… sovereignty.. as individuated Godheads.. is for you to find your own way. The starting place though is to give you the olive branch if we connect on deeper matters, and hope you’ll start your own path.
We have a million reasons not to walk it. You weren’t ready. Or aren’t with the divine masculine energy I am leading with. So I offered next that you courageously say yes to a womens group or take yourself to Soderworld or a temple.
I fully believe in your success. I am not here to be impressed. What I get stoked on is YOU impressing yourself.
You are a master already in the aspects you know. This is why our mastery as individuals considering anyone who walks into our lives is relative. Spiritual pathwork is next level though. If you were not ready for it we would have never connected. Again, me saying all this HAS or WILL stir in some deeper part of you. God uses me in this way. And none of this for me is about whether you say yes or not, thats your work and your freewill. I am smiling knowing and hoping for your success. Thats the kind of friend I want to be and to have. Thats the world healing. We create the world we want to see.
I want to believe in all this for others you know as well. Some are evolving as I do… because we all affect eachother… even without any of these conversations. Those you know who are bullheaded and stubborn are learning lessons about doing things the same way they always have. Those who are open and say YES to the kind of stuff I am pointing to -in their own way- will evolve really fast.
This evolution takes facing darkness and light and remembering to breathe. Go at your own pace. Remember you are the hero in your own story. Be that hero in service to all. The true heroes heart is always full of love.
