INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM
Question—How would you meet a condition of too great a response to friendliness, such as well-meaning people who like to be with you so well that they absorb too much of your time?

ANSWER—I would work to know that my consciousness protects me and leaves me in perfect freedom to come and go as I wish, that no one in any way, shape or manner can absorb my time, thought or consciousness beyond that which I consciously wish to give. There should be no sense of criticism in this thought, just an absolute sense of 0ne's own individuality, for the very thing that is being attracted is good of itself: the idea of friendship and love.
