<p>Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I thank you each for coming
this evening. My friends, you are all doing well. It is wonderful to
see you growing and each one developing individual talents, the gifts
God has given you. It is not enough to hide away your gift, to keep it
safely hidden. No, each person must work on his own specific endowment.
You must multiply the talents, so to speak and you must also allow
these gifts to be part of the lives of others and to impact other
people. In short, to help make your own way in the world, each of you
here has gifts you have not discovered the extent of these gifts yet.
But you are beginning to reveal them and to be responsible in your
handling of your gifts. </p>
<p>Each of you is like a flower beginning to bloom. Your work in the
world is like a blossoming and this blossoming also helps others to
blossom within themselves. It is wonderful to see all of you blooming,
growing, changing, and impacting the world. My joy at being part of
your lives, my gratitude for being allowed to aid this blossoming,
humbles my heart and I must give thanks to our Father for allowing such
wonder on such a lowly planet. </p>
<p>The Father's perfection is boundless. The beauty and symmetry of his
creation is likewise limitless. The smallest particle, the beauty of
the material structure of life never ceases to draw awe and wonder from
my soul. That beauty and harmony exists throughout the vast limits of
material creation on all levels. The spheres of space align in the same
harmony and beauty as the beauteous symmetry of a molecule. But, the
most beautiful thing in existence is the human soul. Beautiful and
perfect from God and yet individual and human at once. The real work of
this life you are living is all concerned with the growth of your soul.
Accomplishments and rewards are worth nothing unless they contribute to
the growth of your souls. </p>
<p>My friends, each day truly do you stand on the brink of your
destiny. For each day you add to the growth of your souls. Think on
this and contemplate the great wonder of life. Feel your souls develop
and feel your souls become beautiful. Feel your hearts blooming and
opening and receiving the warm love of the Father as a flower receives
the warmth of the sun. Do not be afraid to bloom in this world. Do not
hide your light under a basket. Gradually, you are coming through a
long journey which began with fear and distrust of the world and is now
coming full circle to the day you were born when life was love and love
was life. The discovery of love is also rediscovery of yourselves. As
you discover God within you, so do you discover him all around you. </p>
<p>Live lives of fearless love. Find love in the world – in other
people, in natures creation – and give your love to love so that all
love is one and you are part of everything that is. Sometimes human
beings are like frightened animals. You might put your hand out to them
and they might snap or scratch back at you. But you do not blame them
for their fears. You must simply look beyond them to see the frightened
child within. You are all coming to understand that you need not be
afraid of anyone and that you can be a representative of love to those
who are frightened. </p>
<p>Have love in your hearts my children and be representatives of the
Master and his love. When you are in doubt, try to see the world
through the Master's eyes. When you are frightened, cling to him and
allow his love to assuage your fears and comfort your souls. Do not
make the mistake of trying to live according to his will without his
involvement. Many people don't understand the difference. Make him
personally part of your lives and at every step turn to him. Do not try
to create something apart which you can then present to the Master.
Create everything with him. Allow him his say at every small
opportunity for his spirit grows stronger as you grow within that
spirit and his spirit is personal, and his spirit deals with each
person personally. </p>
<p>Love him as a father, brother, best friend. Bring him into your
thoughts and into your lives in ever greater measure. In this way, your
souls will become gradually a bit more perfect each day and your lives
gradually a bit more harmonious with others each day. You will be as
living representatives of his love and this is the most any human being
can aspire to. Feel his blessing upon you, his loving arms around you,
and be secure in knowing him as you know yourselves, as you know any
person. And know of a certainty he will not fail you, he will not
abandon you but will be with you through your lives and into the next
world. For this is the Master's promise. All you must do is believe. </p>
<p>What are your questions? </p>
<p>Q: Do you have anything for Rebecca?</p>
<p>Ham: Certainly, daughter, you do well. Slowly but certainly you are
moving forward with courage. Continue in your work my dear. Put one
foot before the other and allow the Master to steady you, to comfort
you, and to guide you in this effort. Yes, take no step back, push
forward and continue in your work. Allow his love to illuminate your
path for truly you are serving him. Take comfort in this thought and
continue. </p>
<p>Q: Jarad?</p>
<p>Ham: Yes, my son, of course. You also must steady yourself with the
Master's hand. Hold fast to his guidance and continue to bring him into
all levels of your life. As this relationship develops, embrace him
ever more. Feel his spirit as the way shower for he is truly the one
helping to illumine your path. Continue to open your heart to him.
Allow him to enter and to be with you through all things. Embrace his
love and reveal his love for this my son is your destiny. </p>
<p>Q: Ham, do you have anything for Jim?</p>
<p>Ham: Certainly. My son, your faith is growing even in the face of
this physical hardship. Understand that your spiritual growth, the well
being of your soul, is of the utmost importance to all the beings
surrounding you. The Master's light grows stronger within you day by
day. Hold onto this and talk to him, ask of him, show him your faith by
reaching out to him. In all things you are finding a way toward the
spirit. Continue this, for you do very well.</p>
<p>Q: Ham, I would like to know if I have a message please?</p>
<p>Ham: Of course my son. You are doing very well and you are
continuing to grow in the spirit. For many years you have needed
desperately the warmth of the Masters love and the constancy of his
support, his upholding spirit. The reality of this is now breaking upon
your mind as you come to understand who your real Father and Mother are
in the universe. Your real father is never disappointed or upbraiding.
He does not act like a creditor or judge. No, your real father values
you, your soul and your unique personality above all things. You are
his son and he has claimed you. The rest of your life will be spent
claiming your sonship and realizing. Be at peace my child, all is well.
</p>
<p>Q: A message for me please Ham?</p>
<p>Ham: Yes, of course. My son, you do very well. You are indeed
growing into your greater self and part of that process is the
releasing of the lesser self. The butterfly must forsake the cocoon. My
son, you life continues to unfold even as your soul unfolds its petals.
Gradually you are completing a reorientation in the world and are
moving from uncertainty, doubt, and fear increasingly toward certain
faith, complete love, and total security. And though you see where you
are going, the false security of the cocoon can beckon. But my son,
that life is passing away and you are drying your wings in the warmth
of the Father's love. Live fully, live completely with unbounded faith.
It is time to look forward rather than backward and to be open to love,
to expansion, and growth. Do not stumble or tire for at each step you
will have what you need. </p>
<p>Q: For Catherine please?</p>
<p>Ham: Yes, my daughter, be at ease in your heart and do not fear the
future. Cling closely to this man for he will provide all that you need
if you will let him. Do not be distrustful of love and allow yourself
to be happy. Step forward, my dear, and go gently along the path of
truth. It is not a path to be walked alone. Trust love and you will
find an increased trust of yourself. </p>
<p>Q: Do you have a personal message for Charlie B?</p>
<p>Ham: Certainly. My son, have faith. You too must continue to grow in
self-discovery and in the wonder of that discovery. Peace and happiness
are yours, but often you choose to reject these gifts of God out of
certain preoccupations. But my son, the Master seeks entrance into
every detail. He seeks admittance into every corner of your heart. Take
your time and allow his love ever greater entrance. </p>
<p>Q: Do you have any feedback for me this week?</p>
<p>Ham: Yes of course. My son, your star continues to rise. You are
finding happiness and increased satisfaction in your life as you move
closer to the Master and his guidance. Feel his arm about your shoulder
and his gentle whisper within your ear. Rest in the joy of his love and
do not step back into doubtful unknowing but continue ever forward in
certainty and faith as you have. Gradually you are leaving behind the
old shell as well and are growing into expanded awareness and function
in the world. This is exactly where you should be and I am very pleased
with your progress personally as well. Ask of the Master and it shall
be given. </p>
<p>Yes, remember this, ask and ye shall receive for now you know what
to ask. Go in peace my son, all is well. And until next week, my love
and prayers are with all. Farewell. </p>
