• trait derived from Andites

80:5.7The Cro-Mag­noid blue man con­sti­tuted the bi­o­logic foun­da­tion for the mod­ern Eu­ro­pean races, but they have sur­vived only as ab­sorbed by the later and vir­ile con­querors of their home­lands. The blue strain con­tributed many sturdy traits and much phys­i­cal vigor to the white races of Eu­rope, but the hu­mor and imag­i­na­tion of the blended Eu­ro­pean peo­ples were de­rived from the And­ites. This And­ite-blue union, re­sult­ing in the north­ern white races, pro­duced an im­me­di­ate lapse of And­ite civ­i­liza­tion, a re­tar­da­tion of a tran­sient na­ture. Even­tu­ally, the la­tent su­pe­ri­or­ity of these north­ern bar­bar­ians man­i­fested it­self and cul­mi­nated in pres­ent-day Eu­ro­pean civ­i­liza­tion.

• Adjusters’ work in the creative

109:5.1Su­preme and self-act­ing Ad­justers are of­ten able to con­tribute fac­tors of spir­i­tual im­port to the hu­man mind when it flows freely in the lib­er­ated but con­trolled chan­nels of cre­ative imag­i­na­tion. At such times, and some­times dur­ing sleep, the Ad­juster is able to ar­rest the men­tal cur­rents, to stay the flow, and then to di­vert the idea pro­ces­sion; and all this is done in or­der to ef­fect deep spir­i­tual trans­for­ma­tions in the higher re­cesses of the super­con­scious­ness. Thus are the forces and en­er­gies of mind more fully ad­justed to the key of the con­tac­tual tones of the spir­i­tual level of the pres­ent and the fu­ture.

• friendship mutually stimulates

160:2.83. The en­thu­si­asm for liv­ing. Iso­la­tion tends to ex­haust the en­ergy charge of the soul. As­so­ci­a­tion with one’s fel­lows is es­sen­tial to the re­newal of the zest for life and is in­dis­pens­able to the main­te­nance of the cour­age to fight those bat­tles con­se­quent upon the as­cent to the higher lev­els of hu­man liv­ing. Friend­ship en­hances the joys and glo­ri­fies the tri­umphs of life. Lov­ing and in­ti­mate hu­man as­so­ci­a­tions tend to rob suf­fer­ing of its sor­row and hard­ship of much of its bit­ter­ness. The pres­ence of a friend en­hances all beauty and ex­alts ev­ery good­ness. By in­tel­li­gent sym­bols man is able to quicken and en­large the ap­pre­cia­tive ca­pac­i­ties of his friends. One of the crown­ing glo­ries of hu­man friend­ship is this power and pos­si­bil­ity of the mu­tual stim­u­la­tion of the imag­i­na­tion. Great spir­i­tual power is in­her­ent in the con­scious­ness of whole­hearted de­vo­tion to a com­mon cause, mu­tual loy­alty to a cos­mic De­ity.
