===Opening===
Ham: Greetings, friends, I am Ham and our love and respect are flowing out to you tonight. We are happy that you have come to hear these lessons. Welcome. Tonight our lesson is going to entail some communication between you. I would like to ask a question of you each, and get your responses one at a time beginning with Rebecca. The question is, when do you feel most vulnerable in your life in your attitude toward others specifically or just in general?

===Exercise===
Q: Its when I don't feel accepted or if I want to be accepted and I am not. When you are putting something out that could get rejected. We have gone through this before, and I am trying to think of something more. That's all I can think of.

===Lesson===
Ham: Yes, you all fear rejection, Jarad tends to avoid rejection by controlling situations, Rebecca tends to avoid rejection by withholding emotionally. Brodan tends to avoid rejection by steering it away. Vontis you tend to pull your head back in like a tortoise keeping safe within a protection so people do not tend to reject you, and of course personal relations tend to bring these fears out more than business relations or even creative relations. You are all here very creative people and that always make you more vulnerable to being rejected in the world. Creativity involves some daring, involves risk taking, and when your creativity is really exposed and you are subject to critiques and even attacks on you personally, I feel it is best for you in that situation to not read negative reviews. You can easily get drawn into defending yourself and that just saps your time and creative energy. You are all coming into times in your lives where you will be vulnerable to rejection and criticism and so my advice to you all is to ignore the negative. Now, I want to go forward with the lesson.

Be therefore happy and contented with your lives as they are. Don't be disappointed when things are not clear. Trust, trust, trust! If you do this, you will, guaranteed, have an interesting life. Are there any questions at this time?

===Dialogue===
Q: I have for the last two or three years, I have practiced constantly awareness of the Master rather than the Father fragment because of things that have been said to me by you all. Would you comment on that, would you let me know what you think of that? I know that they are one, but . ...
