Changes

MICHAEL:  Well, once you socialize your religious [[feelings]], there is some deliberate [[planning]] involved in getting together.  Since you are in such a [[Dynamic|mobile]] [[society]] these days, it means you are scattered around so much more now than in the past.  But by the same token, you can utilize all your modern modes of transportation and [[communication]] to get together again.  You begin to glimpse the [[meaning]] of meaning.  But all the planning, all the shopping and buying presents for each other, all the decorations and [[music]], all this is to lead to that [[moment]] of literally being outside yourself in the [[sharing]], the--ex--in [[ecstasy]], is it not?  This is the [[laughter]] and the tears of joy, the [[profound]] [[worship]], the profound [[thankfulness]] that we are!  And that we are [[unique]] beings given each other--all these other unique beings surrounding us.

So I hope you do achieve this [[ecstasy]], my daughter, because you can only, in a sense, point yourself at it, and do your best to set up the conditions that let it come into being.  This is that other thing you cannot do alone, but are using Mother Spirit’s [[Seven Adjutant Mind Spirits|Adjutant of Counsel]], or Gregariousness, that brings you together to [[share]] all this you can know.

Student:  So would you say that the religious impulse that was clearly [[evident]] in your life when you simply “passed by” was also there in everyone you met--that you shared that with?
