Opposites are really the [[manifestation]] of a [[singularity]] under [[different]] circumstances. What gives [[reality]] comprehensibility to the [[mind]] is these opposites. So there is [[meaning]] to [[truth]], [[beauty]] and [[goodness]], your minds must have the [[contrast]] of falsehood, [[ugliness]], and badness.

So there is [[meaning]] to [[truth]], [[beauty]] and [[goodness]], your minds must have the [[contrast]] of falsehood, [[ugliness]], and badness.

The [[drama]] of [[existence]] consists in the [[struggle]] between these opposing elements. One might even say the [[meaning]] of [[life]], the reason for [[existence]], is contained within this [[struggle]]. So it is the existence of opposites that make life, for the [[individual]] personalized creature, meaningful. It is this [[struggle]] that creates [[motion]] that creates [[progress]] that gives life its [[purpose]]. So having this [[understanding]], all of life becomes a marvel and it is even a [[wonderful]] thing that limited [[suffering]] and [[evil]] exists because without it where would you put your feet? What would you have to stand upon? How would you [[progress]]? [[God]] does not allow unlimited [[suffering]], he has not created a [[Hell]] and he has not created Hell on [[earth]]. So what [[suffering]] you do [[experience]] has an end. It is temporary. If there were no suffering at all, one [[wonders]] if the [[passion]] for life would be as [[strong]]. At this time then, are there any [[question]].

Q: It seems like the [[ultimate]] [[polarity]] during the age of the [[supreme]] is partiality versus completeness and this would equate with what we think of as [[good]] and [[evil]].

Q: Can you suggest specific ways to improve our [[discernment]]?

Q: Can you suggest specific ways to improve our [[discernment]]?

Ham: It seems to me that most of you go through most of your lives like you were [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_walking sleep walking] always [[thinking]] of something else, always imagining [[future]] [[events]], very seldom in the present time. The best way to improve [[discernment]] is to live more in the present time, the now, and then you will begin to [[appreciate]] the [[beauty]] and the specialness in more things.

Q: What exact [[manifestation]] of [[fear]] causes this now avoidance? I remember in [[dreams]] when I was a kid, when I was in a bad place, and later when I took [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lsd acid], there was this awful [[horror]] of these [[choices]], this terrible fear of choice, the [[necessity]] of making choice.

Ham: I don't think that you are afraid to make choices, maybe afraid of [[pressure]], but . .

Ham: I don't think that you are afraid to make choices, maybe afraid of [[pressure]], but . .

Ham: Yes.

Ham: Yes.

Q: Sometimes, in my [[life]], in the process of making a difficult [[decision]], I have experienced what I perceive to be signs, with some divine aspect. Is this possible, or is it [[dangerous]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_thinking magical thinking] to look for [[signs]] or when signs are seemingly presented to us to take them as [[evidence]]?

Ham: I would say that each person's [[thought adjuster]] works with that person in their own [[unique]] way, so what would be [[dangerous]] [[thinking]] for one person is perfectly fine for someone else. Ultimately, you and your inner spirit work [[together]] and he knows your thinking and I would not presume to pass [[judgment]] on anything like that.
