Submitting Questions to "In the Now"

[Kaaron]

I want to know if I'm wasting my time trying to create an environment in my mind/body/spirit complex where my "friends" are being assisted to ascend, if they insist on offering their "assistance".

Does requesting that "negative friends" be bathed in light and helped to ascend to a more unified perspective, have the effect of influencing their conscious progression in the same way that their "offers" (whether intentional or otherwise), influence ours?
Another way of asking the question would be: Is it possible to "bring them along for the ride", by gifting a more unified perspective to them against their will...without it being a loss in polarization for oneself, given that it is their choice to be there, offering their "service"?
So can the higher self be summoned and embodied at a time that the "other side" are making an offer, in an attempt to influence the distorted aspects of self to re-align with oneness, through conveying unwanted glimpses at unity?
