Jessona (Jonathan): This is Jessona, and I would wrap up our gathering today with the comment that I would like to offer as an [[exercise]] for you this week, one that I would [[hope]] would be elevated in importance to the level at which you regard the practice of [[stillness]]. This is [[friendship]]. When you are in company with others deepen yourself as you [[associate]]. Try to [[recognize]] the [[camaraderie]] that you have. [[Reflect]] even fleetingly on the [[value]] of such relationship. Understand in this exercise the [[certainty]] of your [[friendship]]; your recognition creates the [[stability]]. Then while you are in the company of those you [[perceive]] to be less of the friendly sort, make the [[effort]] to feel that friendship [[experience]] you already retain in your [[soul]] [[transcript]]. Bring it forward and make the effort to outwardly [[realize]] this same experience. It will not be a successful occurrence the first, second, or third time just as [[stillness]] is difficult. But it will work its way into your [[habit]] patterns and will greatly expand your direct [[experience]] of the Great Family.
