What are friends for?

Someone posted this deceptively simple question on the tenth dimension forum a few days ago: "What is friendship?". Everybody has an answer to this question, but that's because we're talking about a basic organizing force of the universe (it's all part of grouping and symmetry, waveforms and entrainment). In the ten dimensions, your friends are for the same things everybody else says they're for: to help each other out (and your friends would do this, I would say, by adding their vibrations and their consensual reality to yours when that's what's needed).
I could use a few positive thoughts at the moment - I'm spending at least part of every day with my mom right now. A couple of months ago, she told me she is ultimately peaceful with the idea of her impending death. Like many others on the planet, she feels she has had a good life and knows that while her body is dying, there are parts of her that continue on. Still... now that we're getting into the harder parts of dying from inoperable lung cancer, sometimes it's harder for her to keep that in mind on the days when she's suffering.
Most of the immediate family are able to be nearby, which is a blessing. But I have a question for my new friends here at zaadz,: do you have any words of wisdom for me that would seem appropriate to a 77 year old, which I could pass along to my mom and dad to help them get through this with the peace that I know mom's authentic self already has come to terms with? I would be grateful.
By the way, I know our role is to laugh with her whenever possible, and to console her when that's what she needs. Those are two things we're pretty good at as a family. What goes good on top of that?
Still trying to enjoy the journey,
Rob

Oh Rob, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. For what it's worth, your video has given me many hours of contemplation and enjoyment. Your mother passed on a very significant force when she and your father created you. Please thank her for that.
I'm not sure what your experience is with meditation, but something that I try to do when I meditate is connect to that which has nothing to do with my body-mind. So, I offer this small exercise in the hopes that it will help bring comfort to you and your mother. Use it if it helps. Discard it if it doesn't.
Start by taking a few deep breaths. Close your eyes. Turn your attention to the breath. Notice how the in-breath fills and expands you. Notice how the out breath releases and empties you.
Now try to find who you really are. Start with your body. Feel the sensations associated with it. Can you feel a breeze on your skin? Do you feel your heart beating in your chest. Are there any tingles on your leg? on the surface of your arm? Can you feel the chair pressing against your bottom and on your back as you sit? Notice how your body and its associated sensations exists within your awareness. Because you can separate your body from your awareness, your body cannot be who you really are. It has a beginning, it stays a while, then it ends. It exists within the Awareness that you truly are. And that Awareness is timeless.
Next, turn your attention to your thoughts. Notice them arise. Observe their tendencies. Watch them begin, stay awhile, and disappear. Notice how this all happens within your Awareness.
Next, try to find the Awareness. Try to find that which has observed everything in your life. Try to find the See-er. Try to turn the eye toward the Eye. Try to discover the Witness. Everything that can be observed is not the Observer. Everything that can be sought is not the Seeker. This is the Tao, and it cannot be found. And nothing that is said about it can be it. It Eye cannot see Itself. The finger cannot point to Itself. One hand cannot clap. And there is nothing but the Tao. Find the Tao. Embrace its Unity. And know that there is not more than One Seeker. And anything that is not the Tao is a dream whose reality is a projection of the Tao trying to find Itself.
Your mother is in my prayers. I honor the pain that you and your family is going through. I appreciate the Uniqueness that your mother has brought to our universe. In Kabbalah, the name given to that Uniqueness is known as the “Soul Print.” The intersection between the miraculous paradox of Unity and the Soul Print may be described as Grace. This Grace brings us immeasurable Sorrow and immeasurable Joy. My heart goes out to you.
Peace,
~Matthew
