===Lesson===
 
Tonight, we will discuss the will. As you know today, right now, as we are discussing in this moment of time, your will is honored and given full opportunity for expression by all the Father's creation and even by the Father himself. Throughout all of time, this is the case. The Father's will is such that your own individual wills, though circumscribed in time and space in order to prevent harm while you are developing, your will is nonetheless supreme within its domain. The Father can give you no greater gift than this that within your realm that your will is as free as is his within his realm.

A you grow in the spirit, you are better able to find a way to express the higher values of the universe through your own individual experience and thus to share greater realities with your brethren. And this sharing of higher values creates meaning which remains a part of the supreme value, even the living Supreme Being because each interaction, each communication that expresses the Father -- is reflective of truth, beauty, and goodness -- is itself valuable. The coming together of minds creates a new level of meaning each and every time. Is this understandable to all?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: I can understand what you are saying, and I can even see how it applies to my life. How does it happen that so many screw up? If the Father constrains us for our own good, then why are there so many ruined lives, drug addicts, ruthless dictators, and so forth.

Ham: Vontis, you should have much gratitude and happiness for your progress. Don't look backward, always go forward. Embrace newness and difference. Get yourself to do things differently, to try new things, to just do things in a different way, just little things. Don't get circumscribed by familiarity. If there are no further questions, I will depart for the evening and wish you all a wonderful week of discovery and adventure.
