| + | The Friends of the [[Daynal Institute]] comprise a network of [[individual]]s who recognize the [[curriculum]] of [[divine]] [[love]] in its countless forms and [[method]]s of delivery. Their [[purpose]] is to surmount the [[great challenge]] of our time by fostering a culture of [[communion]] such that personal [[communication]] with [[Ta|God living within each person]] may be characterized less with [[symbols]] and other methods of ''indirection'' than direct flashes of intelligence to the intellects of his human partners!

− | '''Friendship''' is a term used to denote ''co-operative and supportive behavior'' between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a [[Interpersonal relationship|relationship]] which involves mutual [[knowledge]], [[esteem]], and [[affection]] and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit [[loyalty]] towards each other, often to the point of [[altruism]]. Their [[taste (aesthetics)|tastes]] will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping [[human behavior|behavior]], such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective [[behavior]]s. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the [[Trust (sociology)|trust]] that someone or something will not harm them.

− | In a comparison of [[interpersonal relationship|personal relationships]], friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of [[intimacy]] in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in [[sociology]], [[anthropology]], [[philosophy]], and [[zoology]]. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are [[social psychology]], [[social exchange theory]], [[equity theory]], relational [[dialectics]], and [[attachment styles]].

| + | *[[Light]] is [[revelation]] - [[life]] is [[evolution]], and you are the meeting of these two.

Life is [[creation]] becoming the [[reflection]] of light, this pure, unadulterated luminosity of [[God]] animated, directionalized, and [[refracted]] through us.

This is [[wishful thinking]], and it may lead to truthful [[thinking]] for in [[truth]] it is through your willingness to engage yourself in this divine [[friendship]] we offer [[sharing]] it with others with respect for who they are even as you discover more of who you are; it is this [[process]], this action where [[our Father]] becomes active, and His action is that influence that is [[changing]] the world, gradually eroding the grip of [[fear]] yielding to the [[relaxation]] within that state otherwise sought but now found in love. Yes, it is the state of love that we would establish, and how else can love [[grow]], assume its place filling the voids in your [[heart]], in your lives than in and through friendship. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-04-04-Friendship#Friendship.2C_Wishful_Thinking] |
