I have thought about this sort of thing a lot over the years and I think it's a matter of choice how you look at all this. One view is to say that all people are is chemicals in an organic vat and that's all their is. But, for people who like some meaning in their lives for me personally to look at life that way would mean I would likely choose to kill myself because I can't live that way. I can die that way but would never choose to actually live that way.
I'm thinking this has a lot to do just with the human condition and the basic human need to have parents around to tell you what to do even if you have to make those parents up in order to have some kind of useful dialog with some one while you are trying to live your life here on earth.
Both my wife and I have had similar experiences of imagining a life without God or spirit at around age 18 or 19 and realizing that isn't a choice we would make and stay alive through it.
My youngest daughter has an interesting way of dealing with all this. She went to a Christian School around 7th Grade in a private school and this made her become I would say an agnostic. She might say she is an atheist but when I hear her speak it goes something like this: "Religions: They are either all of them are right or all of them are wrong and I don't know how to make any sense of that so I'm not believing in any of them." And yet, she and her mother, my wife are likely the two most moral people I have ever met." But, my wife believes in Angels and God and Jesus and now Saint Germain just like I do and respects that I have studied with Native American Medicine men and Tibetan Lamas too in the U.S. and India and Nepal.
So, go figure.
It's interesting that Celeste Weaver that I started writing about when my youngest Daughter was a baby or before comes from a planet where all religions are forbidden. It's not that you cannot believe whatever you wish on this planet it's just that you cannot gather in a church with a bunch of people and worship that way in any religion on that planet. It's a way on that planet to prevent wars over religions. So, Celeste Weaver who has reincarnated to a non-believer planet just came from being a Saint that people pray to on the Planet New Deva but realized it was too much for her to answer everyone's prayers so she chose to be born on a planet where religions were not allowed in order to have peace as a soul. So, it's just understood before people move to that planet that they have to give up any churches or large gatherings of a religious nature.
So, the point I'm making here is that what one person says is invisible friends another person is going to say that they are communing with God and Angels and Jesus and/or Buddha and the Buddhist hierarchy.
For example, Vajrasattva and Nyema are supposed to be the highest Buddhas of any physical realm and they have both taken a diamond vow to not move forward into the formless realms until all life forms in the physical universe have become enlightened are will not suffer anymore.
So, from my western point of view in some ways they remind me of the God and Goddess of the physical universe and I find this very comforting to think of them in this way.
I can see them there as the highest evolved beings in the physical universe encompassing all galaxies and physical universes in any dimension and this makes the child in me feel safe.
In psychology there is what is called our "Adapted Child" which just means this little child was mistreated and got all bent out of shape growing up. So, in Peer Counseling that my wife and I studied and practiced with a group in a church (actually she was in a female adult group and I was in a separate male adult group working out all our stuff through peer counseling.
So, you parent yourself through peer counseling to heal your adapted child of all the problems that were created in your childhood and you learn not to project all your messed up adapted child stuff back onto your mate or your friends but usually both.
I know that one reason I'm still married after living with the same women for 26 years this December is this type of peer counseling that allowed us both not to project whatever harm came to us as children upon another person. Because in some ways we are all twisted in some ways by what happened to us growing up.
For me, it wasn't so much people messing me up because I had very good parents that didn't smoke or drink and were ministers. For me, it was the trauma dealing with whooping cough and blunt trauma childhood epilepsy and having to leave my childhood religion at 21 and dealing with breakups of women I loved dearly along the way.
All these things tore me up a lot from about age 18 to 25 and I barely survived all that.
So, invisible Friends?
I think we all have to do whatever it takes to stay alive no matter what you want to call it. And if you believe in God and your friends don't then that's their problem not yours.
Because here's the thing. Either we all find a way to stay alive and be happy here on earth or we are gone. And if your friends interfere with your staying alive then they are not your friends. not really.
So, choose very carefully the people that you choose to be your friends because if they are the death of you then "With friends like these who needs enemies?"
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
