<p><font size="+1">Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am very happy
to be among you this evening. The way of love indeed has permeated your
hearts and guides your souls. It is truly an honor for me to be your teacher
and to be a welcomed guest among you. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Our lesson this week will concern time. Time is the great
underlying mechanism that allows for progressive becoming. You have been
created in time so that you are, as will creatures, willing participants
in your creation itself. Time is that thing which allows the creature to
participate in his own creation. Each of you, as you progress through your
lives, gradually learn how to make those choices which add to your creation.
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The choices of sin, of selfishness, add nothing to character,
nothing to your morontia soul. On the other hand, conscious choices which
confirm and make actual your spiritual understanding, those choices which
are unselfish and self-forgetful, these do add to your morontia growth.
They do make you more real in the universe. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The Master said, no greater love has man than this, that
he would lay down his life for his friends. His entire life was laid down
for his friends, even for you today, not in the sense of redeeming your
sins through his sacrifice, but rather through the giving of his being through
living his life as one among you. Indeed, the Master laid down his greater
life to become one among you, as a helpless babe. This is his amazing love.
Always did he give his love completely, not for just a small group of men,
but for all mankind through all time. The Master’s love was and is and always
will be perfect love. There was never any shadow of selfishness in it. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The Master gave up his place in eternal perfection to
join the great adventure of time creation. He was born as you were born.
He died as you will one day die. And in between those two events, he brought
the love of eternity to the children of time. Even now, in this time, does
he speak to your hearts. He does so through the resonance of his words spoken
then, as well as speaking directly to the heart of your souls, saying "This
is the way, follow me". </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The Master came so that you would know you are not orphans
in the universe. He came to portray the Father’s love for his children through
his life. This event is still reverberating throughout the universe. This
action on the part of our beloved creator changed not only the history of
your world, but the history of all of Nebadon. The Master’s words have been
as indestructible seeds scattered throughout the universe. Some are still
tumbling about waiting for fertile soil in which to sprout. Your world,
and indeed much of the universe, is still adjusting to the teachings of
a humble human being on this tiny planet. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">The Master’s words as so potent with life that once they
sprout within your soul, you are transformed with his growth. No longer
are you alone in your spiritual quest. From that moment, you are joined
with the Master like a vine and its leaves. It is forever true that you
who hear his voice become part of him and he becomes part of you. Then you
are not alone searching in the dark for a glint of truth here and there.
No, once you become a part of the master’s spiritual body, then you are
never lost again. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Each of you is becoming ever more truly yourselves. Time
is your friend in this quest. Do not make the mistake of despising time,
or the lack thereof. Make time your friend. Feel its movement. Allow yourself
to open and bloom according to the Master’s will in his time. All the work
and worry, all the energy expended fretting about what will or won’t happen,
none of this adds to your experience in time now. Each moment is eternal
in itself. You are always a part of eternal perfection even while change
swirls about you in the rapid pace of your changing lives. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Have patience with yourselves. Don’t try to grow too quickly
or change too rapidly. Be at peace with the time it takes you to grow. Otherwise,
you can feel yourselves to be fraudulent as though your don’t really belong.
Move always toward that place of secure reality that exists within your
souls in the now – not what you will be, not what you have been, but who
you are now. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Let the Master set your time table for you. Trust that
he knows what you need before you think to ask him. Be assured that you
have all the time necessary to become that which you truly are. And, my
friends, be not afraid to speak your truth. Be not afraid to uphold your
righteousness. For in these times, the Master stands with you and you are
not alone. In the times when you are most true to yourselves, his hand is
with you, his voice goes before you. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">As you go about your lives, be increasingly aware of the
Master’s body within your body, of his spirit within your soul. Let this
be an everlasting comfort and walk firmly on the path he has set before
you. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Have you questions at this time?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Ham do you have any counsel for me tonight?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Yes, of course my son. My son, you do very well.
Step by step you are growing with the Master. Step by step you are gaining
in confidence and courage. Step by step you are finding joy in this life
and a firmness beneath your feet. Each bend in the road, each seeming problem
is an opportunity for you to exercise your growing faith and to find the
road and to follow it. There are tests ahead, even as there have been tests
in the past. But, increasingly, you are able to meet these challenges with
a growing spiritual fortitude. You were a very sensitive child roughly treated
in the world, rebellious and angry. But now you are getting your footing
in the spirit and you are finding the love within you and the kindness you
show others is being reflected and given back to you. You are finding your
place in the universe. Hold firmly then to the spirit. Move ahead step by
step. Allow the spirit to lead you and release your anxieties as you find
peace in ever greater measure. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Ham I want to know if I have a teacher?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Yes my son, you do have a teacher who waits for a
time of future contact. But for now, I am your primary teacher and it is
advised that you cleave closely to me and my words. It is important for
you at this time to become firmly grounded in truth and this you are doing.
My son, you reacted to some deep disappointments in your early life by pretending
to be indifferent to people and circumstances. In other words, you made
a great effort to be OK being alone. But truly my son, you are loved, you
are cherished in the universe, and you are anything but alone. This coldness
is melting very rapidly and it’s a little frightening for you not to have
that buffer between you and the world. You are a man of great love, you
have a naturally very loving nature and this loving nature is winning the
battle right now. Allow this to be. Gradually you will get that nature back
that little child who loved completely but did not feel loved in return.
As you grow to understand the universe is love, you are surrounded by love
always. Your fear of love will dissipate and you will be completely at home
once more. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Do you have anything for Rebecca?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Yes, my daughter, you too have been making strides
in loving and accepting yourself. It is like you have made a breakthrough
in this area. You too are coming to love the world as you have come to love
yourself. These things are not separate, but one. Grow in your firm love
for yourself and in this love you will find an exalted self respect, an
increasing road to ever greater self-respect. Cleave closely to the Master’s
spirit. Allow his love to fully invade your heart and mind. Rejoice and
be exceedingly glad for you do very well. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Jarad?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: My son, you also do well. You are finding likewise
greater love within yourself for yourself. You are a man who is finally
aware that he is surrounded by love and you are grateful. Allow the world
to speak its love to you as you speak your love. Be increasingly happy with
who you are and allow this joy to overflow to the world. Again, let the
Master’s body be your body, let the Master’s life force be your life force.
Have an open heart toward all those around you . And from this open heart,
speak your truth. You are a man of great faith. Be assured in that faith.
Be firmly rooted in yourself and in your love for yourself. Your strength
will come from that. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q:Do you have a message for me please Ham?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Be at peace my son. All is well and as it should
be. You are where you need to be. You will have what you need. Let go of
worry and release your fears. For now, take each day as it comes and all
will be well. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Keri would like a personal message, please.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Certainly. My daughter, you are as all people are,
in the process of self-discovery. Self-discovery is a continual process
for always are new potentials becoming actual in your life. Be careful to
always seek balance and to be true to your own path, not the path another
gives you. Others may assist, but each person must walk their own path.
Be at peace within yourself my daughter, you are doing very well.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Ham, a while back you counseled my friend Elisabeth
whose son was having some sort of dangerous situation with his pituitary
gland and she is concerned again about his health and could not find your
other message from the last time. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Yes, the human body is a very delicate machine. Tiny
changes in chemical balance can create far reaching ramifications in health
and well being. This young person is going through some chemical imbalance
still but it is not life injurious or threatening yet. You are doing the
right thing in your efforts to aid him. It is always helpful to get a second
or third opinion when the present treatment is not satisfactory. Have faith
that you will find the answers and the treatments that will make the difference
and allow the spirit to guide you in this quest. Trust yourself. You will
have all that you need in this effort. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Thank you so much Ham.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: You are welcome my dear. You are also doing well. You
must find an increased loving tenderness towards yourself as well. You find
it easier to focus on others than upon yourself as though you don’t deserve
the attention. But my daughter, the attention of the universe is upon you.
You must come to find yourself worthy of infinite love in order to begin
to accept it. You have taken some journeys in your childhood. Now focus
these journeys on yourself, upon your feelings, your needs. You, at an early
age, imbibed the atmosphere in your home which was one of the denial of
need. And so, you have continually discounted your true needs and at the
same time sort of magnified other kinds of needs to balance. Feel again
the needs of childhood and allow these needs to be filled by the master’s
spirit, by the master’s love and yes, by your own love for yourself. You
are doing very, very well and you are finding greater and greater comfort
within as you grow closer to the master’s spirit. Follow his love as it
ripples within you back to the time when your truly needed love as a child.
As time goes by, you will find it increasingly easier to love yourself and
this will be a great relief and help in your life. Be at peace, my daughter.
Know that you are loved by a vast universe and also know that you are loved
by me and by the Master himself. Take this love in your heart, it is yours.
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Do you have a personal message for Charlie B?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Of course. My friend, you do well. You are finding
also that time is not the enemy and are coming to enjoy the little moments
of life which give you pleasure, joy, and comfort. Stop denying yourself
these moments. It may be difficult to allow yourself that which you need
for often you do not know what it is your are needing. But my son, you need
love and you need to allow yourself the painful opening to love. Do not
be afraid of love nor afraid of the pain of love. Embrace love completely,
never in part. Find joy in the in between moments and you will find happiness
in all time. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Q: Do you have any feedback for me this week?</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Ham: Of course my son. You are, as always, moving forward.
You have a greater inner strength and a more profound persistence than you
ever could have realized even one year ago. You are a man who seeks truth
in all things and you are a man who is not content with partial truths.
Cleave to this for this is the essence of your character. Many human beings
content themselves with partial truth and have not the daring or the single
minded purpose required to move toward complete truth. But partial truth
can never content the true seeker. You can not be satisfied going half way.
You are a true second miler, a true seeker. In this quest, you have a mighty
helper. The spirit of truth lives within you. Be fortified by his strength
and be strengthened through his complete nature. Truly my son, you are doing
well. Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. </font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Until next week, my love and my prayers go with you each.
Farewell. </font></p>

Many of the temporal troubles of mortal man
grow out of his twofold relation to the
cosmos. Man is part of nature -- he exists
in nature -- and yet he is able to transcend
nature. Man is finite, but he is indwelt by
a spark of infinity.
