We are all connected with one another, and yet we so often feel alone, which leaves us feeling unsupported and lonely. And unhappy.
Even if we accept intellectually that we are not alone—that there is something greater than we are—how do we make that something personal? Whom do we talk with when we wake in the middle of the night afraid, panicked, or feeling our lives are out of control and we are so lost? We all need our own personal friend in the form of an angel, spirit guide, a religious figure, or a loved one who has passed into Spirit World.
Phillip is my spirit guide, my friend, my counselor; a being with whom I converse daily, asking for guidance or for help and allowing my gratitude for him and his wisdom to fill my heart and bring me joy. Like any friendship, ours has been forged over many years of mutual respect and love.
Phillip is as real to me as anything I touch in this world. He comes to me through my inner world; he is a part of me, and yet he is such a separate expression of me that I experience him as his own entity. He is my inner-world friend.
Today you too can create your personal inner-world friend. If you are already working with someone who comforts and guides you, then continue to work with that being and deepen your relationship.
For others it’s time to meet your inner-world friend. First, you must activate your powers of imagination. The world of imagination is soft, shadowy, and quietly intuitive.
For those of you who “know” you are not creative and unable to tap into your imagination, imagine what it would be like if the world of imagination were open to you. Imagination is what you allow it to be. Trust yourself and have fun! You cannot do this wrong as long as your work with love in your heart!
If you have a loved one in Spirit World, and you will find it easiest to work with that person, by all means do so. If not, then decide if you want to work with an angel, a spirit guide, an archetype, or a religious figure. You can also work with a god/goddess of one of the world’s cultures. Whom you work with is a personal choice as long as you feel familiar and comfortable with that being and always feel the divine love of that being’s energy.
If you do not feel deep love, if a voice guides you away from anything that is unlike love or feeds your ego, you are not in touch with the inner-world friend. Ban that entity and clarify that only love may come to you. You also must open your heart to love.
To reach the inner-word friend, as you fall asleep tonight, ask to have a dream about the inner-world friend you have chosen. Yes, you choose. Surprise! You do not have to wait for someone to come to you; you do not have to beg for someone to come to you. You are in charge. Hurrah! So, all you have to do is to get in touch with yourself. Ask to meet your friend in the dreamtime, to have a conversation, and even to receive a name. Why the name? As humans, we like to have a name, which is much less important to the spirit guide or angel.
I remind you: You cannot get this wrong as long as you are working in love!
When you wake, whether in the middle of the night or in the early morning, begin to write a conversation between you and your new friend. At first you may think you are making up both sides of the conservation. Eventually you will begin to feel subtle differences in the energy. That may take some time.
Remember you are building a relationship, and good relationships take time together and a commitment to one another. Taking the time to build the relationship will be well worth it. You will never again feel alone, but you are the only one who can create the relationship. Your inner-world friend is waiting for you. All you need do is to invite the other in and be open for the relationship to begin.
Once you truly build this relationship, you will never feel alone. You will turn to your inner friend for guidance and help, and you will find yourself also turning to your friend to share the joys of life. “Look, my friend,” you will say, “Look at the glory of that sunset. It is so good to share this with you. I am so grateful you are with me. Thank you for being and thank you for my own creativity that allowed me to find you within my inner world.”
