You are all becoming a dynamic focus of love as you interact in the world . Your ability to influence others is directly proportional to your true spiritual development. The only way you can gauge your own progress is by looking into your heart an d perceiving how much love you have for your fellows. Ask yourselves, every week , if you are growing in your ability to truly love your friends. Ask yourselves, are you growing in your ability to be non-judgmental toward your neighbor.

You are all [[becoming]] a [[dynamic]] [[focus]] of [[love]] as you [[interact]] in the world . Your [[ability]] to [[influence]] others is directly [[proportional]] to your true [[spiritual development]]. The only way you can gauge your own [[progress]] is by looking into your [[heart]] an d [[perceiving]] how much love you have for your fellows. Ask yourselves, every week , if you are [[growing]] in your ability to truly love your friends. Ask yourselves, are you growing in your [[ability]] to be non-judgmental toward your [[neighbor]].

I want you all to think about where you want to be in love. Do you truly want to love every person you know and come in contact with? Or, are there some that you hold on to an inner grudge or resentment and do not want to love? Be honest with yourselves. Is there someone that holding a grudge against gives you some kind of gratification? I want you, in this moment, to consider putting that gratification in your special bag that you give to the Master. Can you give that up in exchange for greater love, do you really want to love this person or these persons?

I want you all to [[think]] about where you want to be in [[love]]. Do you truly want to love every person you know and come in [[contact]] with? Or, are there some that you hold on to an inner grudge or [[resentment]] and do not want to love? Be [[honest]] with yourselves. Is there someone that holding a grudge against gives you some kind of [[gratification]]? I want you, in this [[moment]], to consider putting that gratification in your special bag that you give to [[the Master]]. Can you give that up in exchange for greater love, do you really want to love this [[person]] or these persons?

I want you all to think right how about taking this gratification and this resentment as if it were a physical thing you could hold in your hand. Be very specific, think of holding this in your hand. Now, in your mind's eye, think about sacrificing this resentment and gratification, throw it into a fire and let it burn. This is your sacrifice. This is something you are giving up for the Father. And as yo u do this, as you let go of this resentment and the gratification that has kept you holding it, feel your heart open, feel that place that was taken up by this resentment now being flooded with love. Feel your heart's expanding, and in your mind, go to that per son , put your arms around them, ask for forgiveness, and feel a new love within you pouring out to that person. Feel compassion and understanding. Allow yourself to understand that person, allow yourself to see them as God sees them, hurt, frightened, lonely. Let this love come over you, don't withdraw back into the old way, keep your heart open, keep the love flowing. Feel yourself be connected with the Father in such a strong and protected way that nothing that person could do to you in the future or h as done in the past can truly harm you. You are above it. The harm that person does or has done passes completely through you and does not harm you. Keep letting go, keep letting go, resentment, anger, guilt, are all falling away, falling away. Is there anyone having trouble visualizing this or experiencing this?

Q: Actually Ham I am in that I don't have any single individual to focus on.. The things I resent and get angry about are the actions of overall mankind an d what it has led society to being and the mess that it is in. Instead of changing for the better I see it being perpetuated. It effects me, but I cannot single out any one individual.

Ham: Very well, do the best you can. Anybody else. Good. Now stay with m e, your resentment toward yourself, resentment for past actions that you feel have harmed you, things of this nature, things that you say, "I can't believe I was so stupid to have done this or that", take this resentment and gratification in your hands as a offering once again. Cast this into the fire. Think of all the times of your past , all the things you felt guilty about, everything, cast it into the fire. Keep pul ling things up, you probably have a lot of them. Don't stop with the first one or two.

Ham: Let them come up, think back, as each one comes, toss it into the fi re. Keep going there's more. When you are through, pray silently.
