From Ernest Holmes
Your "Best Friend Forever - BFF"
You have a Friend within you who is closer than your shadow. This Friend anticipates your every desire, knows your every need, and governs your every act. This Friend is the God within your own soul, the animating Presence projecting your personality, which is a unique individualization of the Living Spirit.
This Friend within you is Infinite since He is a personification of God. He is not limited by previous experiences which you may have had, by present conditions, or passing situations.
He has no inherited tendencies of evil, lack, or limitation. He has never been caught in the mesh of circumstance. He is at all times radiant, free, and happy.
To your intellect this invisible Friend may seem to be someone else, not your Real Self, but such is not the case. Some have believed that this Friend within you is a mediator between you and Creative Spirit. Others have believed Him to be the reincarnation or the rebirth of your previous self, while others have sincerely believed Him to be some discarnate soul. But you are not to accept such beliefs, for the Real Person within you is a direct personification of the Universal Spirit. He is your Inner, Absolute, and Perfect Self.
