===Opening===
 
Welmek: Good morning, my friends. This is your friend and teacher, Welmek. Today I would like to continue our lessons about life. Our final session is what does it mean to love life. I want you to go deep within and attempt to recall to your mind your darkest moment when you felt the greatest amount of despair, loneliness, insecurity, fear—whatever it might be. I want you to recapture what that felt like and I want you to share it with us. Then I want you to think about how did you overcome that. Was there a specific turning point? What I am asking of you is difficult. If you do not choose to share, I understand. But it can be beneficial if you are willing. If you are not willing, then you can discuss it more general terms, but only if you are willing to do so. I will pause and then we will begin.

===Lesson===
 
Welmek: Imagine sitting in a room, a cell. There is no light. You are in total darkness. You look within your mind’s eye and see that you do not have the love you want, you do not have the job you want, you do not have the personality you want; other people are more beautiful, richer, smarter. So you say, what worth do I have, what is the point? I cannot succeed in the world. And there is a feeling of despair, hopelessness, fatigue of the struggle. It is a dark, dark reality that you see. Most humans, particularly on your world, because you do not have the guidance and love to bring people to the light and spiritual reality in more gradual and loving way experience this darkness to varying degrees in life.

It is a great contradiction in a way, is it not? Each of us struggle in the mind of darkness while the greatest light of all shines within our mind. We must access it, we must choose it. Think of your own children, think of yourself as a child. Were there not many times that you struggled, that you did not understand things? Were there not moments when you could go to your parents or another older person and ask them to help you understand things? Well, you are spiritual children, and your Father will always attempt to help you understand your spiritual nature. He will help you understand things in a more spiritual light. I want you to take a moment now to go within and concentrate and focus on the presence within you. I want you to ask yourself this question, “Do I really feel alone?” “Am I really alone?” Share with us your answers.

Welmek: Faith, the living trust of the reality of God within you is the very cornerstone, the very heart and soul of all reality. It is the most important thing you can come to understand and experience. As it grows, so you grow. As it grows, so you will learn to love your life more. This spirit within patiently waits for you to make the choices to allow this relationship to grow. When you see your children, your parents, they are all of your struggling brothers and sisters on this planet. You cannot make the choices for them any more than the spirit can make the choice for you. But you can give them that ray of hope, that ray of light to hold on to until they can make that choice within them. No greater gift can you give them.

Seek the light, the light of love, and the love of life will be yours. Good day, my friends.
