===Opening===
 
Greetings children, I am Ham and I am grateful that you have all come this evening. Tonight we shall discuss friendship. What does it mean to be a friend? We all consider our friendships valuable and yet how little effort is directed toward these relationships. Being a friend means first to reach out toward another to offer the hand of friendship, as it were, without thought of reward. Having the intention of friendship is what guides your actions.

===Lesson===
 
When the Master went about in his earthly life he intended to be a friend to each person that he met. This intention allowed him to watch for little kindnesses that he might do for another. As he passee by, his intention was friendly toward each person that came his way. He thought of his many followers as his friends. He made their friendship by his intention. They, in turn, devoted their lives to him. The purity of your intention to friendship will help determine the loyalty of that friend.

Hal: You know there is a new thing going on now unfamiliar to our culture where young people go to school and shoot people and teachers - that never used to happen - can you explain that phenomenon?

   Line 51: Line 45:  
Ham: The use of various drugs can be a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it can allow you flashes of insight, but on the other hand, it can make it easier for you to believe your own illusions. After a while, it is hard to tell which is which. These questions are for you, yourself to answer. Each person must make these decisions for themselves. I will say, though, that the spiritual path, in the long run, is not necessarily well served. Use these substances in moderation and with caution. That is all.
