Never let yourself be the one to bring someone in agony up the emotional scale to joy. Why? It causes resentment when you lower your vibration for them, and they may cut you out of their life. You’ve seen it happen. Ask the Universe to bring them someone to help them get up the emotional scale. Whenever you hold someone in appreciation, you are adding to their experience although, when they are in agony, they can’t get it.  Sometimes they surface enough to see your light, but they can’t stand in that light for long. They don’t feel worthy of it, they compare and feel shamed. They must cut you out of their life by any means in order to maintain their own hallucination.  Habitual liars are scared and self-interested. It’s a deep sickness, a kind of autism.  So when someone asks you for help and you give it, be prepared to be resented and cut out of their life, no matter how long you’ve known them or been friends with them.  Instead, ask the Universe to bring them someone to help them, and to get them up the emotional scale. When they awaken and regain consciousness, you’ll connect again. That’s how that works.
