DOLORES: Thoroah?

THOROAH: I think that my [[childhood]] was almost replete with sort of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrequited_love unrequited friendships]. Friendships always seemed to end up with getting [[hurt]] by each other a lot. We'd get over those things, but I think there was a lot of [[disappointment]] in friendships when I was young. My two closest friends (besides my sister, Carol) and all the way through high school, were my cousin Kent and my friend Tom and they both [[shared]] with me more of the spiritual kinds of things than anybody else had. But I didn't have a lot of close friends, and still don't, but I think I was [[vulnerable]] to being taken [[advantage]] of, which wasn't necessarily my friends' fault as much as myself.

DOLORES: You've both had the [[experience]] of Human Associations in your [[youth]], yes. The [[disappointments]] you mention are, in the main, because you are molding your [[personality]] as children and [[adapting]] in ways that are not required by your [[family]]. There are also family constraints put upon children in their [[friendships]], but I cannot help but notice that you both stressed the reason for your friendship, the activity that bound you. The common interest you shared. This common interest may have been temporary, but the congealing [[factor]] of your association was because of your common [[love]] for a thing or an activity or your common need.

This ability greatly enhances the [[opportunity]] to minister "as you pass by" a s you can readily [[perceive]] from [[Jesus]]' [[experiences]] as a [[youth]] in the comings and goings of the [[caravans]] with their strange scents and sounds. Thus opening the doors of [[perception]] into other ways of [[life]] and in this wide-eye d wondrous exchange of human associations, there is the wide-open door of amazement and complete [[sharing]]. It's in so many ways so much easier to approach the [[spirit]] in company of [[strangers]] than it is those whose company you have long known and whose [[limitations]] are already familiar to you. Thus there is provided a range of [[opportunities]], depending upon how far afield you allow yourself to go from your [[home]] base. The child, Debby that Gerdean spoke of is destined to live a [[sheltered]] life if she is of such a nature as to cling so fast to her [[home]] scene. The [[midwayers]] may be able to provide her an [[opportunity]] as a [[youth]] to [[reveal]] to her an adventurous side of her character, but it will be her [[Adjuster]] who leads her into those [[experiences]] which will be [[necessary]] for her to experience in order to open up to that which is unfamiliar. As is true for all of you who have set out on your [[path]] toward perfection [[attainment]].

The field of Human Associations is unlimited, especially today in your world of mobility and [[technology]]. Each face on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television TV] is another [[story]]. Each person you pass in your car is a story, a [[personality]], a [[soul]], a possible friend. In [[conclusion]] today, I would like to add this element of Human Associations, and that is that the [[spirit]] can be fostered without ever using such terms as would be denounced by a mind [[protecting]] itself against [[spiritual]] [[propaganda]]. The [[presence]] of [[Ta|God is within you]] and within them as well, and that [[communion]] of spirit may be had, may be acknowledged, and may be encouraged even in the simplest of communal activities. A moment in time can be made into and realized as a [[moment]] in eternity simply by the [[quality]] of the [[sharing]] that is enjoyed by each of you. An instant in time wherein you mutually share the expression of a child as it crosses her [[face]], and appreciating all the wonder and awareness of a [[youth]] coming into its own as a life, is enough to bond your [[spirits]] and [[eventually]] this encouragement of refinement of sentiment is adequate to support the [[courage]] to broach upon other [[discussions]] and ideologies that may one day lead to an acknowledgment of our Eternal Parents and a sublime [[worship]] thereof. But as you well know, a pint cannot hold a quart. Best to enjoy the cup as it runneth over. In this way its capacities are made greater for yet more of the living water. In this way, too, you are regarded not as a [[preacher]] and not as a [[proselyte]], but as a friend, and friendship is the [[pinnacle]] of Human Associations, whether it be a "riding on the bus together friend" or a "marriage partner for life friend" or a variation of all of the above. The supreme [[compliment]] Jesus paid his [[apostles]] was to call them his friends, so the assignment is to go enjoy your friends, and enjoy new friends as well, a s a part of our on-going [[course]] in Human Associations.

Yes, it is possible to be friends in the [[political]] arena. It is possible for those of you who are political to also be friends or those of you who are friends to also be political. The [[reality]] of [[politics]] is not limited to Republicans and Democrats. It is a part of the [[constitution]] of any group of [[entities]] engaged in a cause or a [[purpose]]. Your identification with [[TeaM]] inherently involves you in TeaM [[politics]]. And this is a part of association, a part therefore of friendships.

The politics of [[Paper 121 - The Times of Michael's Bestowal|Jesus' time]] was not only about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire Romans] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Judaism#Roman_rule_in_the_land_of_Israel_.2863_BCE_.E2.80.93_324_CE.29 Jews] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes Essenes] and so forth. It was about the mental configurations of each of his [[apostles]] and [[disciples]] and associates. Even though his [[agenda]] was an agenda of [[friendship]] with God, it was regarded as a political stance which indeed got him [[crucified]]. But you do well to be mindful of the [[politics]] of others, the individual and independent mind-sets of your associates that they have committed themselves to, [[consciously]] or [[unconsciously]], which give them the identification with their mental [[support]] systems which help them constitute who they are.

We will have more [[opportunities]] to [[investigate]] human [[politics]] and Human Associations in our [[adventures]] into experiencing the [[brotherhood]] of man as time goes by and as time allows. This season ahead is astir with [[celebration]] plans in honor of [[Jesus]] of Nazareth who lived the perfect [[human]] life. How he [[inspires]] us in [[Master Son|his sovereignty]] today is no less remarkable than [[Part 4|his portrayal of Jesus]]. The lessons that he lived and taught are as poignant in your lesson plans as they were then, and even more so, since it is your life indeed that you are living, and [[sharing]] this life experience with [[the Master]] . The religious life of Jesus and how he lived it is indeed a [[curriculum]] well worth [[studying]] and applying to your own applications of your ministry as you pass by.
