Student Q&A with Guy on "7 Ways to Recognize False Friends By the Lies They Tell" (8/31/22)

There are a legion of false friends within us that we presently do not realize are false friends that deceive us through promises of comfort and consolation.

The consciousness responsible for the conflict we feel doesn't change when you temporarily cover up the pain of the moment through a distraction of one kind or another.

The same mind that creates the conflict doesn't know that it creates the conflict because it believes that it has the resolution.

There is nobody there who is conscious when you are listening to the mind talking to itself.

Negative states are such common visitors that they are perceived as friends. We never consider they might be an "intimate enemy."

You never rush without the presence of a fear that whispers to you why you must rush.

If you are really going to start working on yourself, then you must see that the familiarity that breeds contempt is born out of an unseen division in our own consciousness.

Awareness, presence, conscience is the false friend detector.

False friends constantly tell you what you need to do to save yourself. Who you really are does not need saving.

When you stop listening to false friends, you will wonder what in the world you are supposed to be doing with yourself.

The only thing that a false friend can really do is tempt. The damage is done when you lend it your ear.

Stop talking to these false friends by recognizing them for what they are.

A false friend that knows the right thing to do always shows up in the midst of the chaos that it has created.

False friends will try to convince you that anything is more important than being present to yourself.

Stop trying to figure out the reason why thoughts are in your mind using thoughts. The intelligence of awareness already understands the proper place of thought.

A true friend is someone who does not help you stay in relationship with a false friend.
