===Topic: ''On Loyalty''===

==Facilitators==

==Session==
===Lesson===
Tonight we shall speak on [[Loyalty]], the most perfect measurement of one’s [[progress]] along the [[path]].
Loyalty underpins a pursuer’s progress toward any worthwhile thing, for without it the path zig-zags in
the many winds [[tempting]] the traveler away from his or her chosen destination. Loyalty is synonymous
with the destination itself, for who gets to where they’re going if they don’t stay the [[course]]?
But Loyalty is also a measure of [[character]], a test of the [[love]] the [[individual]] bears for their stated [[purpose]]
and the other individuals who provide needed accompaniment along the way. [[Distractions]] will come,
they will [[manifest]] and test one’s Loyalty at the seemingly most inopportune moments, but there are no
[[accidents]]. Loyalty is [[challenged]] for a reason, a [[purpose]]: can you maintain Loyalty in the face of other
pleasures placed in your path? This is the test you have called forth. Loyalty is the one true [[quality]] of
[[heart]] that needs [[contradiction]] to flourish. Loyalty cannot be proven without a challenge to it. It is
required if it is to be a polished, finished commodity.
The [[truth]] about Loyalty is it’s a hidden challenge, faced only by one’s [[self]] in the dark of one’s
[[consciousness]]. When it flourishes, it burgeons. It lights up the sky for it encompasses two or more – the
loyalist and the enloyaled. It’s a symbiotic [[relationship]], one that brings out – ideally – the best in both
parties. It bespeaks a higher [[frequency]] in its [[practice]] and it grows more [[secure]] the more it is exercised.
Loyalty at its finest does not exclude others from being considered or from having their say, but the
bond established between the loyalist and his or her object of Loyalty – be it [[human]] or [[divine]] – becomes
inviolate with the passage of time and the outpouring of Love; the [[quiet]] practice of devotion and
[[discernment]] (always being aware and considerate of the other’s [[feelings]] – again, human or divine); and
a [[determined]] choice to grow through the holy adhesive, Loyalty.
