Greed comes in many forms. It can manifest in ways that seem to be even the opposite, but ways which are indicative of a greed for attention, or acceptance. There are many faces of greed and it is very insidious. In general, it is correct to look upon greed as being a manifestation of fear. Sometimes, you can be greedy for knowledge, greedy for attention or fame, and it is always a fear of not being enough that when the test comes, you will be found lacking. Some people even have a greed for frugality, a greed for self-denial that is born from fear so one tests oneself over and over.

Ham: Son, you do very well. You are beginning to grow the ability to experience the Father's love, but likewise, you do not spend enough time in stillness. Open your heart to his love and love him in return, completely, fully, without holding back in any respect.

Practice this loving every day, even if you can't do a complete stillness. Take a few seconds here and there for gratitude and love and this will go a long way in your life.

And now my children, I must bid you farewell until next week my love and my prayers are with you each. I am understanding that Monday is the meeting time. This is fine. Farewell.
