Good afternoon, students. I am here this afternoon to talk about "Belonging." You are familiar with belonging too, all that is your [[social]] [[organizations]], your [[churches]], your [[families]], [[schools]], and [[work]] groups. This area of belonging is about belonging to you. You recognize that you give away pieces, do you not? Pieces of yourself to those areas that you [[conceive]] require yourself in attendance, your Americans talk so often about how the automobile is an [[expression]] of their [[personality]], that they bought just the right car for them. This was prevalent perhaps a bit more in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70's ‘70’s], when college students were snapping up red [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle Volkswagens]. And it is still true today with the high powered cars for teens and would-be-teens. They have given a piece of themselves to that object of their [[affection]] and [[infatuation]]. They have transferred vital [[energy]], and continue to do so with their waxes and chamois and tools. It must be kept running, it must be louder, it must be faster, it must have more powerful music [[emanating]] from its environs. You would face certain [[rebellion]], were you to ask the individual to give up his ride; take his keys away from him (or her.) You would discover how much they are truly invested in this automobile.

And you see it in houses, everything people put their [[energy]] into in keeping the [[appearances]]. Is it not [[strange]] that the appearances are for other people? For [[status]], for [[symbolism]]. There has been a tremendous proliferation of very large houses, recently, dotting the countryside, especially between where we are and Boulder. A great many of those houses contain two people, and it is for appearances. The investment made by those two people is tremendous, and I am not speaking of monetarily. So, most of this you recognize and have dealt with this, it is nothing new to you. How do you reclaim, should you chosoe, how do you reclaim your energy from these objects?

Student: In the [[Urantia Book]] we have learned there is an [[energy]] " as yet undiscovered on [[Urantia]]."

Arista: One moment please. (Pause) I have had to check with my cohorts here, and they tell me that they are quite probably the same. Any further questions?
