face="Times New Roman">As I have watched you grow, I perceive you each to be
practically a totally different person. Your minds have expanded form the
concepts of today and tomorrow to eternity. In others words, you not only
perceive your actions of today as one who believes in eternal life, you see your
fellows as not mere associations, but as family, as eternal siblings. You have
for the most part incorporated the concept of the well-being of the whole,
instead of individual self. I truly believe you have taken some of the Master’s
personality aspects for your own and this is good.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

face="Times New Roman">Every day you are becoming new creatures. With every
trial, mistake, habit or weakness, you are learning to draw the meanings and
values out for yourselves. One who would be committed to a life subject to the
will of Father would certainly easier see that every day a new creature resides
within the mortal flesh. <BR style="mso-special-character: line-break"><BR

you are wondering where time has gone. The child with their mind stayed on their
Parent has a smoother time of transitioning from one life stage to the next.
Life is not always unbearable or miserable, but an adventure and rich with new
opportunities. <BR><BR>Over these many years of lessons and discussions we have
helped to shape one another into who we are now and who we are becoming. How
much easier it is to bare life’s realities when a good friend is at hand. Just
as biological families experience disagreements or personality conflicts, you as
a group will also, but always will the desire to do good overcome any
negativity. This world as busy as it is, there are many who suffer from
loneliness, or the impression that they are not acceptable. There are many who
hide their true nature, for it may meet with disapproval from others. <BR

most part been capable of making all feel welcome. You, my friends, have a
personal ministry, a ministry that you have committed yourselves to. You have
taken on the responsibility to expand our family. Many of you are gifted at
conversation and make others feel welcome and acceptable as they are. Many of
you are very open to Spirit and can give sound, direct spiritual advice. Many of
you are simply good listeners and make people feel worthy of being listened
to.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

ministries and not anyone of you are incapable of performing your duties. These
duties are completely natural and joyful--not at all uncomfortable or feeling as
though you are being put upon. Father can reach those who listen to Him, those
who have faith in Him, but there are many who have experienced enough
hopelessness that they are not reachable. Herein lies your ministry. You are
examples of faith and can face to face with individuals spread the good
news.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

may entail. Find time to see the joy in life and let that show upon your face.
Reach out to those you chance to meet and give some words of encouragement or
perhaps just listen. Life is not merely happening to you, but you are making
life happen. A few questions<BR><BR>CALVIN: Abraham, we have some new guests,
hopefully new family members, Jim and George. (Greetings. Any questions?) I’ll
start out with one. I felt a huge cramp and I don’t know what that was, but I am
going to start eating different foods. I wonder if that was what it was or is it
deeper than that? You know what I am talking about. (SIMON: Can I mention
something too. I heard something about digestive enzymes.
Inaudible.)<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=Style3 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: Calvin, my son, I believe that your physical
feelings are stress induced. Your mind would appear to be stronger than the
spirit at times and your perception or imagination can become imbalanced. You
are one who does take on too much at a time and while you are gifted in this
area, it can simply be overwhelming. Take life in small bites and find enjoyment
in all the various flavors. Have not fear for your physical well-being,
yes. Is this helping? (Yes, very much, the stress part especially.) Simon, I am
not in understanding of digestive enzymes. I am sorry. Can you expand?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(I understand that most Americans have
problems digesting foods because over the years our digestive enzymes decrease,
so a supplement of enzymes could help.) You would know more about this than I
would. You certainly make sense. There are many factors to the world’s ailments
today. Anxiety, stress would certainly affect the bodily systems. There are
numerous products on the market that claim to be of assistance to good health. I
can say that a relationship with the Father, the company of good friends and the
everyday striving to live better, is about as effective as medical remedies. By
all means if you find something that works however--use it, material or
spiritual, yes. Is this at all helping? (Yes. I thank you.) You’re
welcome.<BR><BR>MIRIAM: Abraham, I just want to thank you so much for your
lesson last week. I felt a dry sponge in that area. Your words were like water
to a dry sponge. I felt at ease this week. It is just a good example of how
Father sends us what we need. I love you to pieces and I thank you for the
service that you do for us. That ego piece that you were talking about, I was
thinking that could apply to leaders, but I starting thinking about how in my
situation, looking at that in an agitated way, I was coming from the ego—it
feels like it ought to be this way, why can’t it be this way. My agitation was
coming from that kind of thinking. That was really good
advice.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

face="Times New Roman">ABRAHAM: I am not so certain that your feelings were
solely stemming from ego as it was feelings of powerlessness. There have, is now
and always will be, injustices in the world, and it would appear that the voice
of the individual is lost. Your feelings are shared by many mortals and there is
great concern where egos are involved with worldly affairs. You have indeed done
well coming to terms with your new understanding, and your individual effort to
make a difference how you can is indeed healing. You, my daughter, do touch many
lives every day. Absolutely you are true to your ministry. Well done. Another
question?<BR><BR><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>DAVE: Abraham, I
am going to be going on vacation. I was wondering if you have any comments for
me as to my personal ministry on my travel plans? <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

always promoting peace. You always do well to express yourself where you think
it will serve. I have no specific guidance, but I have no doubt that you will
fully take opportunity to spread the good news. Your living example is touching
to many and you know not the impact you have. Believe me, great things are being
born. Is this helping? (Yes. Thank you.)<BR><BR>GEORGE:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My question is on this plane I have the
name George, but I have a spiritual name that I am not certain. My second
question is how can I better council those who come to me seeking
assistance?<BR><BR>ABRAHAM: One moment. As close as I can give you your
spiritual name using the English language it sounds like Jedadiah. I am happy to
speak with you finally. You do appear to be very sincere in your efforts to help
in anyway you can, especially the spiritual aspects of life. I can simply
recommend a few guidelines, but of course your internal Father is always the
best teacher. The world in which you each live is a world that relies much on
what the eyes can see. Today’s seeking individual benefits greatly on practical
spiritual practices. The more you can keep spiritual guidance real, the more
benefit it will have to those seekers. Spiritual advice or any advice should be
something that is usable, not an unreachable ideal, but something that assists
in everyday living such as improving family life, work life, citizenship,
overcoming personal habits. The goal of our Teaching Mission is to make real the

Dianna, my heart is full in hearing your voice and seeing your face. I always
love speaking with you. I do understand you have experienced some turmoil and
find it difficult to reap the meanings and values there from. You have always
been a kind-hearted, well-intentioned individual, and I do see that as you have
experienced life, that many things have disappointed you. Let not these
disappointments harden your heart, but make you evermore determined to find
those meanings and values which will bring you some resolution. You are
certainly with intelligence, love and good intention. I have faith in you to be
open to receiving Spirit guidance and the solutions that come. Be not
disappointed with yourself, for you are not lacking in any way. Have not worry.
Know that you have all of the heavens looking out for your well-being and best
interests. Is there something more? (No, not at this
