Q: On worlds that are settled in light and life, is progress much slower?

Q: On worlds that are settled in [[light and life]], is progress much slower?

Ham: No, not at all. It is in fact quicker because they are in a place where the contrasts aren't so large. They must distinguish more subtlety and progress is faster.

Q: What would be the best definition of a good choice?

Q: What would be the best definition of a good choice?

Ham: This question, of course, goes to the heart of the matter.

Q: Would it be whatever makes you more aware of truth beauty and goodness, that would be the preferable choice?

Q: Would it be whatever makes you more aware of truth beauty and goodness, that would be the preferable choice?

Ham: No, choice must be in a way an anti-choice because always regardless of your preferences, you must choose the Father's will. And, understand that even if you experience temporary suffering as a result, that it is for the best in the long run. Choosing always to give your choice to the Father requires great discernment, it requires looking beyond the dualities of time and space towards the oneness of eternity. But, of course, in your daily living, in your conduct, choosing the better and more fitting ways to conduct oneself involves choosing something better each time. And distinguishing what is better involves extreme consciousness and awareness of both one's self and one's environment. is this helping?

Q: Are we led into certain experiences to create a contrast?

Q: Are we led into certain experiences to create a contrast?

Ham: That is really the Provence of the though adjusters and I would not presume to pronounce a judgement on this. The adjusters have reasons for everything they do and for every experience you have, there is meaning.

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 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 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: No, it is more realistic to understand yourself and your reactions and understandings and how this interacts with your environment. There is no such thing as a true objectivity.

Q: By self I meant the ego.Q: But doesn't that in part create some of the contrasts that are necessary for us, the ego?

Q: By self I meant the ego.

 

Q: But doesn't that in part create some of the contrasts that are necessary for us, the ego?

Ham: Yes, I would say this is so. It's one thing to have a self-forgetful attitude in life, but quite another to be apart from yourself, this is impossible.

Ham: Vontis, you are steadily making progress and always trying to do your best. The ups and downs of life are coming into a perspective and maybe even some control. You are not tossed here and there by the slightest wind any more. Your focus and steadiness are also improving and you are understanding that progress needs to be made in all areas of life, not just one. Continue to broaden your associations and have faith and trust that day by day everything in your life from business relationships to personal relationships to family relations are all getting better. This is all due to your own spiritual growth and maturity.
