ETTERS FROM A FRIEND – I

Are you ready for a world where violence no longer exists? A world where everyone embraces one another with love, where life is shared hand in hand with joy, abundance, and prosperity?

Are you ready for a world without nations divided by borders, without soldiers, weapons, conflicts, judgment, punishment, or prisons? A world free from the need to prove, "I am better. I am more special." A world untouched by pride. Are you ready to embrace every being wholeheartedly, exactly as they are? Are you ready to restore and heal the world you have worked so hard to turn into ruins?

Your sense of being lost in the dualistic world of adventures—a world you once divided into two—will inevitably come to an end. In truth, it is already ending. How this new beginning unfolds, however, is still for you to decide.

Before you can become a visitor in whatever dimension you wish to experience, you must first extinguish the anger within you and bring violence to an end.

Imagine that, at this very moment, all five of your senses were to disappear: sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. The world of adventures in which you are now so deeply immersed would vanish along with those five senses. The world you believe has changed would simply cease to exist—for you. You would no longer see, hear, recognize what you touch, perceive scents, or taste anything.

Just as in sleep.

While asleep, you do not taste, smell, touch, see, or hear in the way you believe you do while awake. Yet you experience that state peacefully. You travel through other realms and then return. You can also enter such a state through meditation.

Even if your five senses were suddenly gone, your heart would continue to beat. You would still be able to walk. Your mind would continue to think.

Only one thing would remain:

Fear.

Your mind would begin creating thousands of stories filled with violence. We hope that would not happen—but isn't it far more likely that it would?

If, at noon today, night were suddenly to fall for only three minutes, we know you would not lie down on the grass to enjoy the stars. Instead, you would most likely believe that the world was collapsing around you and be overwhelmed by fear and panic.

If you were to lose your five senses in an instant, the world you believe you are living in would disappear as well. You would only think that it still exists.

But would you truly still exist?

Are you ready to live without lying to one another, without trying to present yourselves as someone other than who you truly are? More importantly, are you ready to exist without lying to yourselves? Are you willing to acknowledge that, at times, you even try to appear different to your own selves?

Only then can telepathy become possible. Telepathy cannot exist where deception remains. At present, only some of you are beginning to experience empathy.

On the world you believe yourselves to inhabit, countless levels of consciousness coexist. Yet there is one thing you all have in common: sexuality.

Through sexuality, even if only for a brief moment, you experience love and embrace. You believe this is the life force that connects you to the world. In truth, what you long for is something much deeper. Every one of you yearns to embrace one another, to open your hearts to each other—but somehow, you cannot.

The lives you have created are burdened with stories of pain and drama. Often, you blame those closest to you for your suffering. And when there is no one left to blame, you create a Creator—and blame the Creator instead. Yet rather than living the love for which you so deeply long, you end up condemning yourselves.

There is a phrase that some of you repeat often, and it carries great significance:

"You wish to be loved without loving."

When someone offers you love, your mind is often drawn immediately to sexuality. The stories you invent, the suspicions you nurture, and the fears you cultivate gradually make both yourselves and your relationships ill.

If, in broad daylight, a stranger were to approach you in the middle of the street, embrace you, and kiss you in front of everyone, you would most likely be overwhelmed. And if that person were of the opposite sex, your entire world might seem to collapse.

If only, in that very moment, you could respond with empathy. If only you could embrace another heart with your own—without your mind rushing to create a single story.

Have you ever truly imagined what a world without violence, pain, or hatred would be like?

Violence is one of the many disguises you adopt in your search to be loved. Those whom you regard as your enemies are not your true adversaries. Your real enemies are the divided thoughts within your own mind and the ways in which you have closed your heart.

Those you call enemies also have friends, just as you do. You take sides, choose camps, and, driven by the distorted beliefs created by your own minds, you wage war against one another. This is not a sign of strength—it is the expression of a deeply wounded heart.

You cannot leave this world in the condition you have brought it to while playing out your dramas and expect to journey elsewhere. No one will come after you to restore it.

Your first responsibility is to care for the world that now shelters you—the world that is, at this moment, your home. You are here to bring it harmony, peace, and life. The path begins by restoring peace within yourselves, by remembering how to approach every living being with love, and by living accordingly.

The dimension of Love cannot tolerate pride, judgment, resentment, anger, hurt, sorrow, or grief—not even for a single moment. Whenever these arise, Love simply withdraws. It moves away from them, and from you.

This is why, throughout your history, many guides have come to Earth. They wrote, painted, spoke, and shared their wisdom in the hope of helping you live in peace.

But now the time has come for you to become your own guide.

It is time to become your own light.

If you cannot shine from within, you are no different from a moth endlessly circling a lamp that belongs to someone else.

Drink plenty of water. Whenever you can, bless the water you drink and allow its energy to become one of healing.

Meditate every day. For a while, set aside the rule of your five senses.

Open your heart to the world—open it with love. Send healing to the Earth. Imagine a world of lush green forests, deep blue skies, and warm sunshine. Imagine a world where everyone is a friend.

Hold the Earth in your arms as though it were a newborn child—pure, innocent, and precious—a living being in need of your love. Open your heart to it, and love it deeply.

Learn how to breathe consciously. If you already know, remind yourselves each day. If you do not, simply become willing to learn. The way will come to meet you.

Eat less and eat simply.

Speak less and speak truthfully.

Think less and think purely.

Live in joy.

Live in delight.

A FRIEND
