John Friend Quotations

May all of our relationships be gateways to sharing in the highest love and sweetest joys, and to awakening to our full potential.

The two partners in a relationship also need to have some similar interests in addition to a similar life view.

Having a similar outlook on life is the central key for long-term sustainability in any love relationship.

There are 3 levels of compatibility in intimate relationships that connect the most subtle realm of spirit to the most outer, dense form of body. There must be alignment in heart, through life view and spiritual intention; mind, through clear, open communication; and body, through physical chemistry. Compatibility on all 3 levels of heart, mind, and body is the ultimate love relationship, which everyone is seeking!

Friends range from acquaintances all the way to our best friends and beloveds. A tremendously powerful energetic love can be created from close friends who are highly aligned.

There are 4 types of relationships. We generally know people who guide and help us like a parent or teacher; those who need our wisdom or help like a child or student; people with similar knowledge and experience on our life path who want to offer unconditional support; and those who do not wish to support us.

One beloved friend reflects the other in an open, trusting relationship.

Releasing masks and veils allows the other to see you in your authenticity. Guards are dropped, and we can be seen for who we really are: the uniqueness of our personality, the beauty of our soul, our pure spirit.

The greater the trust within the couple, the greater the opening to share in love.

Skillfully engaging in intimate relationships can be one of the most potent spiritual practices.
