If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life they will seriously make an effort to be in it. NO reasons NO excuses. 
thanks Elfun
Quite often your posts come in a timely manner.
Sometimes we need friends to remind us
and to save us despair. Even though
it can be firm in delivery.

Perhaps the most important way that someone can
show a serious effort to be apart of some one else's life
is thru a form of communication that both can
understand in the given moment at hand.
Others no doubt have differing views;
for me a call on the phone shows a more personal interest.
Whether the relationship is of a friendly nature
or more intimate.
Communicating on the forum is like a spiritual family
relationship and some of us would like to
keep it on that level. However, phone calls
can communicate subtle verbal interaction and
intuitive perceptions that are more difficult
to easily transmit on the internet.
This can deepen relationships of any kind.
The way that people choose to communicate
or refrain from communication and the
meaning we/they give to it is a fascinating
subject to me. i have friends who just will
not communicate on the forum yet they will
talk for long periods on the phone. i am unable
to understand the differences in people
in this regard but i am making an attempt
at it.
It seems to be that the internet and the Portal
bring people together in a group which is
a manifestation of a rising spiritual consciousness
in humanity manifested in new tools like the internet.
It binds people and their resolve together.
Yet when we do not communicate
on a personal level the personal element in
relationships eventually dwindles and we can
make mistakes by bringing up personal
issues on the forum which are not always
appreciated by others. i think that it is helpful to recognize
that when one person decides to communicate much more
than someone else they also raise their percentage of chances saying
things that do not fall on receptive ears or are inappropriate.
Hopefully we as communicators will not be condemned for this.
Eventually we may just shut down personally because it seems
inappropriate in general to the ears of some individuals.
Recently Eric gave us this on the Bowl of Saki:
'The soul has the tendency to look forward to what is going to be, or at what has been in the past. It is the light of our soul, the intelligence that does this. Intelligence working through physical means is no greater than intellect. But intelligence working freely and independently from physical means is wisdom. And wisdom is not cleverness, but infinitely superior to it. Wisdom works independently of the physical means, and therefore, requires intuition. The clever person works by means of his physical body, but the wise person works independently of it.'
i am not sure of it's relevancy to this topic yet it grasped me and i still ponder it's import which is
a good reason to bring it up if for no other reason. The light of reason and intelligence works on one level but intuition and wisdom is quite a leap from the normal thought processes.
Soul communication; i believe is a higher communication that can take place between two people
with similar spiritual aspirations. It is the highest form of communication between individuals and
binds them together for incarnations. Until both souls are liberated they help each other in this goal
and progression.
