Ham: Greetings, I am Ham and I am happy that you have all returned again to participate in our discussion tonight. The lesson tonight is concerning waiting. Your culture is entirely geared to give the individual what he wants with no waiting time. Waiting is something to be eschewed and avoided. Waiting is associated with inabilities and the higher one's status in society, the less one has to wait for anything. Being made to wait is associated with low status as in waiting in the unemployment line.

But, it is the wise man who knows how to wait. Rash action often breeds disaster. But you are raising a generation that hasn't had to wait for anything, hasn't had to cultivate patience. Patient waiting is a difficult thing to accomplish, but it is a mark of maturity that you can wait.

Being patient with one another is another difficult assignment. But, those who have some self- discipline, some gratification postponement in their lives find it easier to be patient. Human beings are imperfect, and sometimes they tend to get in the way of your self-gratification. I would like to have some discussion now about a time when you were impatient recently. Rebecca.

Q: They are so petty I feel embarrassed to say. I got mad at this grocery store checker for something that she couldn't have any control over at all. It wasn't her fault at all, but I was all bent out of shape and then I was impatient with some friends of ours because just for being around and I had stuff to do and they were over and I couldn't get it done and I had to postpone what I wanted to do. It sounds so dumb. I guess I can be as childish as anyone.

Ham: Edward, your life has been drifting for several years. You had difficulty staying in one place and difficulty moving ahead. This has been part of your training and you needed this time. The future, though, will bring changes that you must also prepare for. There isn't time anymore for not facing what inwardly you feel needs to be done. So, have courage son, and faith that all is proceeding according to the Father's plan and you must recognize your role in this plan and, for now, that is all you can do.
