Connecting

This concept of contact has many different levels and many different effects.  For sometime now you and I have enjoyed a different level of contact than either of us had ever experienced before. This contact we have between us serves on many different levels to strengthen awareness, to inspire growth and action, to refresh and support each other with confirmation of our ideals.  All these expressions of our contact and many more are instigated by the contact we have with each other.  

If you would, now for a moment step back and realize that the contact you share with each other and with your brothers and sisters around you has the very same potential for growth, for support. This service you can provide to those with whom you come in contact. Every contact is latent with potential for a variety of positive effects. If you would view your daily contacts with each other and with those around you as having the same potential as the contact we share here today, you might gain awareness that potential for the same benefits exists.

Contact is unique in that it is pursued and desired by the individuals involved. There is an underlying commitment when any contact occurs between the individuals involved. This is the first step, the opening of the door, towards trust and acceptance of the benefits of this two-way communion. You may come to realize that all contact is beneficial to all parties concerned.

This is easily exemplified by the fact that individuals who lack contact with other individuals or any force outside of themselves often wither and starve for this contact. To deprive a human of this contact is considered punishment in your culture. You are social creatures, and therefore it is a basic requirement to interact with those of your kind.

I would encourage you to elevate this level of contact in your minds to a more spiritual level. In doing this you elevate those around you to a more spiritual focus even if the words you use at any given time do not necessarily reflect a spiritual cause. Your attitude, if spiritually attuned, prevails no matter what exchange
you may have.
