style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am
very happy to be with you this evening.<span style=""> </span>Let us
discuss life’s many changes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">As you grow in the spirit, it is certain
you will be led into new and different experiences, new and different
urges toward truth, new and different areas of self-expression and so
forth.<span style=""> </span>Life is very much an adventure.<span
style=""> </span>It is very conducive to happiness for one to be
open to the adventure of life.<span style=""> </span>The Master said,
“This world is only a bridge.”<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">You leave only the impression you make
upon your fellow travelers.<span style=""> </span>Those who try to
build a dwelling place here on this earth, a place to defend, a place
to justify, this is not the road to happiness.<span style=""> </span>Happiness
is found in moving forward, letting go and embracing the pathway ahead.<span
style=""> </span>Unhappiness is often found in forced conformity, or
the effort of trying to stay in one place and defending your area.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">The Master said, “Lay up your treasure in
heaven.”<span style=""> </span>Do not make the treasures of this
world also a repository for your emotional investment.<span style=""> </span>Let
rather, your treasure be in heaven and there will be your heart be
also. <span style=""> </span>What is your treasure in heaven?<span
style=""> </span>It is your love for each other.<span style=""> </span>It
is your valuing of each other’s souls.<span style=""> </span>It comes
with the enjoyment of the many pleasures of this world.<span style="">
</span>You are storing up happy memories that will be with you
throughout eternity.<span style=""> </span>On the mansion worlds it
will not matter what your earthly standing or status was concerning
wealth.<span style=""> </span>You will not remember so much the
numbers in your bank account, or the car you drove or the neighborhood
you were privileged to live in.<span style=""> </span>You will
remember your neighbors themselves.<span style=""> </span>You will
remember the beauty of your world.<span style=""> </span>You will
remember your friendships, your loving little animals, the birds and
the flowers, sunsets, oceans and love, above all, my friends, you will
remember your experiences with love.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Love is truly said to be the only reality.<span
style=""> </span>Love endures.<span style=""> </span>Love survives
death.<span style=""> </span>All else you must leave behind you.<span
style=""> </span>Happiness if found in the progressive unfolding of
the experience of love.<span style=""> </span>The more love you know
today the more love you will know tomorrow.<span style=""> </span>Love
is the ultimate expression of the soul.<span style=""> </span>Love is
evidence of your knowing God.<span style=""> </span>Love is what
gives value and meaning to all things and beings.<span style=""> </span>Without
the progression of the love experience, life degenerates quickly into
meaninglessness.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">My children, when you are tempted to be
discouraged, when you are disheartened or afraid take refuge in the
place where your treasure lies.<span style=""> </span>Have courage in
confronting the shadows of life through knowing that fear is not real,
but love is the realest of all reality.<span style=""> </span>When
you are tempted to falter, when you are hesitating as to what your next
move should be measure all things by love.<span style=""> </span>Ask
yourselves “has it love?” or “is there love here?”, “how can love
progress?” and in this way you will find your way.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Many people ask how is love served.<span
style=""> </span>Love is served through love.<span style=""> </span>You
serve the Father through His love.<span style=""> </span>You cannot
serve Him through fear or the fruits of fear, such as greed or hatred.<span
style=""> </span>The Father is served only through love and the
fruits of love.<span style=""> </span>When the fruits of love are
born in your heart, then does that fruit serve others.<span style=""> </span>You
must bear love in order to be of service to the Father.<span style="">
</span>The fruits of love are yours individually.<span style=""> </span>Each
person creates his own wonderful fruits of the spirit through contact
with the Father’s spirit and the Master’s good spirit as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Love begets tolerance, kindness, patience,
forbearance, temperance, faith, gentleness of spirit and so forth.<span
style=""> </span>The fruits of fear are anger, hatred, prejudice,
willful ignorance, intolerance, cruelty and so forth.<span style=""> </span>The
Master came to offer a demonstration of love, a demonstration of the
power of love in physical form.<span style=""> </span>Each of you, if
you would follow him must also demonstrate love in physical form. <span
style=""> </span>Love does not bend itself to fear or to the fruits of
fear.<span style=""> </span>Love does not compromise with evil in any
way.<span style=""> </span>Love seeks only multiplication of love and
fulfillment in love.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">My children, how will you know you’re on
the path of righteousness?<span style=""> </span>You will know
because love will multiply.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">H:<span style=""> </span>Yes of course,
my son.<span style=""> </span>Gradually you are growing in your
ability to accept yourself and to cultivate love in your heart.<span
style=""> </span>You have been like an abused puppy, afraid to trust
in the outstretched hand that would save you.<span style=""> </span>Even
when you have been most at ease and open to the spirit, deep within
you, some part of you, recoils and remains in fear and distrust.<span
style=""> </span>Ultimately, you must come to accept your own
worthiness of love.<span style=""> </span>You must begin to see
yourself as the Master sees you, without condemnation, without that
inner fear that keeps you from total giving of yourself to love.<span
style=""> </span>You have been moving ever closer to the Father’s
loving presence.<span style=""> </span>Have the courage to take those
final steps which will bring you into the Master’s complete presence.<span
style=""> </span>Move fully and completely toward love with your
whole personality and you will find all that you require and more.<span
style=""> </span>You do well my son.<span style=""> </span>Be at
peace.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font size="+1"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">H:<span style=""> </span>Daughter you
are doing well.<span style=""> </span>You have always a complete and
sincere desire to know God and to move ever more closely towards Him.<span
style=""> </span>This is as it should be and as you mobilize your
entire personality, everything you are, in service of His love so will
you bear the fruits of the spirit in ever more abundance.<span style="">
</span>Seek not so much to dig out your weaknesses and expose your own
flaws, rather move toward ever greater, complete experiences of love,
ever more open hearted exposing of yourself to the Father’s love.<span
style=""> </span>Do not move backwards, but continue moving forward
in love and in loving abandon.<span style=""> </span>The Father wants
you to put everything on the table, to hold nothing back.<span style="">
</span>Be open and refrain from condemning yourself, refrain from the
urge to kick yourself with some extra “I should have known better” “I
should have this or that”.<span style=""> </span>Start giving your
self credit for you are indeed seeking after the Father’s will and
seeking to align your entire self with his will.<span style=""> </span>Short
of finaliter perfection all beings are in the process of this ever
increasing alignment.<span style=""> </span>Perfection is not
possible.<span style=""> </span>Seek to purify your intention and
perfection will follow in increasing measure.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-family: Arial;">H:<span style=""> </span>Certainly my
son.<span style=""> </span>You have come very far very quickly.<span
style=""> </span>You are now beginning to find strength and hope
replacing despair and weakness.<span style=""> </span>Surrendering to
God, surrendering to His loving guidance is then a source of strength
and a source of purpose.<span style=""> </span>Where you get in
trouble is when you try to take control of things that are in God’s
hands, when you try to substitute your will for His will, consciously
or unconsciously.<span style=""> </span>Allow love increasingly an
open door in your heart.<span style=""> </span>Allow love to soften
those things which are hard and those things which are hard to accept.<span
style=""> </span>Let love show you the way and let love allow you to
accept things as they are.<span style=""> </span>With love will come
peace and with peace will come happiness.<span style=""> </span>That
is all.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

impending election there is much hate and mud slinging going on.<span

the war in Iraq.<span style=""> </span>It would be a wonderful life
if everyone on this planet reached a consciousness level where war no
longer existed, but we are not yet there.<span style=""> </span>What
is the answer in these situations?<span style=""> </span>Did our
president make a mistake or did he make a good decision?<span style="">

it is a crucial time in our world and its spiritual progress and all
this hate is hurting everyone especially our country.<span style=""> </span>We

religion, faulty as it is, flawed as it may be, it is still the best
hope of mankind.<span style=""> </span>Democracy flawed as it and
imperfect, is still the best hope of mankind.<span style=""> </span>There
are many angels at work upon your world making certain that neither of
these ways of life should be snuffed out by the hatred born of fear.<span

decisions, but I would counsel all people to trust in the wisdom of
your democracy.<span style=""> </span>Trust in the wisdom of your
fellows and refrain from impugning the motives of your fellows, or your
leaders.<span style=""> </span>Trust that your motives are all
directed toward the same goals.<span style=""> </span>Allow your
friends their own opinions and love them regardless of whether you
