RAYSON: Good afternoon, this is Rayson. (Group welcome.) Thank you for your hospitality and thank you for your welcome. It is always good to be here with you. I feel that I am in the presence of friends, those people who hold no judgment about me, myself, or what I do, those who accept me as I am. And please know that you are friends of ours; we hold you in similar esteem and regard.

Some of you do not know how to love. Some of you do not know how to give love or receive love. Today we will speak of love as friendship. It is not by coincidence but by design that we speak of love and friendship today. You have felt this among yourselves; you were sitting at the table enjoying your conversations before this session began, and you held everyone—each of you—in similar esteem and regard, accepting them as they are, where they are, without regard to what they were wearing, the position that they held—or didn’t hold—the income that they made or didn’t make, their social standing and economic status and all the other elements, traits of social bearing for your society. This is a fundamental element of love, and that is acceptance where you are, acceptance that you are accepted in return, acceptance of others as they are.

RAYSON: This is Rayson. This one I speak through is quite tired. It is not a physical tiredness, but a tiredness that runs through his being at this time. We will entertain your questions, please.

Student: I have a question arising out of the lesson we had last time. When you were talking about the linear mind and the existence of the creative side of our mind and you said you "wished us to explore those therapies, those mind expansion techniques which will assist you in unlocking the creative side of your mind." I would ask you to expand on that please.

It is important that you give them primal beliefs about their relationships to God, and even more importantly, God’s relationship to them, that they might know how to behave towards their fellow brothers and sisters and to their parents, and how they may anticipate their parents will treat them as spiritually evolving individuals. Your social environment is truly a church of expression for friendship, as we spoke about before. Your social relationships are the practice environment of budding spirituality. Your social relationships are truly a church that is hallowed. Your relationships say much about who you are, not who you will become. You can determine that for yourself as friends, as children of God, by your decisions and how you treat each other and how you treat yourself.
