<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am intrigued this evening listening to your
conversation. I am enlightened by your display of spiritual logic. I am grateful
to always add to the scaffolding of meanings and values. I am grateful to have
this soul closeness with each of you. How blessed I am to have served with you
these many years. I am enjoying the addition you bring to my spiritual
understanding. Even though I wore the flesh many years ago, it would seem the
issues of living stay the same. I am with joy to see you each are willing to
work out difficulties together. No one is running away. Everyone is adding to
the table, which holds an abundance of spiritual food.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am EMULAN, my greatest pleasure to be back here with you. I have really enjoyed
the lessons on spiritual logic. Abraham has asked me to say a few words. As
always, my understanding is an interpretation of my experience and education. My
friends, you know well of my story. It feels wonderful to have you know me and
allow me to be open.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">My
life in the flesh brought me great pain at one point. The future seemed dim. I
was seemingly trapped within my own mind and had not the ability to reason.
Pain, whether physical or emotional, it is traumatic. It takes time to filter
experience through your understanding. It would seem my understanding made its
first appearance when I was in complete surrender. I sincerely wished for death.
I had no place to go, except to my reservoir of faith, which was not a
lot.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Every day small happenings would occur that would align
my understanding and bring me new meanings. I remember in the mental illness
facility that I was held, I watched a great deal of individuals battle their
demons. I began to look upon these individuals as God’s children and they were
each loveable in their own way. I had learned probably more from other patients,
concerning faith and spiritual logic, than I did from doctors or
books.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">As
my ability to reason returned, I was able to shape my tragedy into the wonderful
lesson that would not only help me to grow as a Kingdom son, but also help
others to endure. We have heard ‘fight the good fight of faith’ in this mortal
life, and indeed it is a struggle, attainable, but still a struggle. >From the
struggle comes new light, new tools to advance in your spiritual and mortal
life. My struggle was indeed well worth the reward and I am with complete
assurance that all was lent to an ultimate good. I am with joy to watch you grow
and draw ever closer to the Kingdom family. Well done.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
am ABRAHAM, our gratitude to a wonderful brother and teacher. This week let us
ponder Emulan’s lesson on finding value in our challenges. How do we fight the
good fight of faith? What brings us back to our place of personal peace? That is
all. From all of us, we are wishing you Godspeed into the week ahead. Our love
goes with you. Until next time, shalom.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
