HAM: Nothing is accomplished without the [[time]] [[factor]] intervening on [[Urantia]]. All human [[growth]] and progress comes through the [[auspices]] of time. Are there areas of concern? Certainly there are. And you should know that there is a great and all encompassing worldwide [[effort]] to correct the [[errors]] of human [[ignorance]].

Q: I want to ask about what you were telling us. You said as we find less and less need for approval from those around us, we will see our [[responsibility]], and our responsibility is to [[God]] alone. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Koresh David Koresh], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones Jim Jones], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler Hitler] all thought this. In the name of seeing [[truth]] and not needing the approval of others a lot of unfortunate [[actions]] have been taken. Comments?

HAM: Yes, do not stumble over this [[truth]]. There are certain [[humans]] who have used the [[God]] [[platform]] for their own [[self]]-exaltation and this is clearly not intended here. You know the [[difference]] and so do others. True spiritual living involves the [[consciousness]] of God in all aspects of [[life]]. And your first responsibility and urge from this [[consciousness]] is [[love]] of your fellow beings. Love is always [[the fruits|the true fruits]] of God-knowing. [[Hatred]], divisiveness, and [[dissension]] are the fruits of human exaltation. Any man who [[humbly]] and [[sincerely]] [[worships]] [[God]], and knows himself as God's son, realizes his [[responsibility]] is to [[love]].

HAM: You should not have [[fear]], while taking [[customary]] precautions is advisable. Fear of [[experience]] should not keep you from [[loving]] your [[neighbor]].

Q:(There was an animated [[discussion]] here about [[fear]], [[crime]], and the need to learn to love our [[brothers and sisters]].) How do we love the [[rapist]]? How do we find it in ourselves to love a person like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson Charles Manson]? I find that very hard to [[comprehend]].

HAM: You are unable to [[love]] the [[abstraction]] of a [[person]]. This is obvious. However, loving the person would be a different experience, even one who had [[committed]] grievous [[sin]].
