What’s between you is the Creator, and He’s only felt when the relationships between you are similar to what should be between you and the Creator. So, you don’t feel Him until you’re correctly connected to the friends.
These are different approaches to the Upper Force, and both are welcome. The thing is, the Upper Force doesn’t receive a request from me as from a man. It’s disrespectful for a man to come to me and demand anything. But when my baby demands, it’s actually adorable. I’m even proud that he is learning how to stand up for himself somewhat. It’s not in his powers to disrespect me, you understand. The Upper Force, in the best case, treats us as a baby from whom it adores any request or demand, the more specific and cogent, the more contentment we give the Creator.
