Ham: Greetings my children, I am Ham and I am your [[teacher]]/[[friend]]. We are [[happy]] to have your three here this evening. Where there are three gathered together, so there is [[the Master]]’s personal presence as well. It is indeed true that you have come very far, all three of you, over the last several years.

What is [[spiritual growth]] but the [[progressive]] taming of the [[animal nature]] by the spiritual nature? [[Humanity]] is so very full of [[contradictions]], so very mixed with the [[desires]] of the flesh as well as the desires of the [[spirit]]. The lower nature is full of [[fear]], animosity, feelings of [[revenge]], feelings of [[hurt]]. Like a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions pride of lions], the dominant [[male]] desires his [[homage]] from the group. These [[feelings]], this pull of the [[instinct]], this tendency to feel [[fear]] and [[anger]], this is all part of the animal legacy that is encoded in your bodies.

[[The Master]] so desired to break [[humanity]] free from this bondage that he became the [[human]] example of the [[divine]] way. The divine way is the way of [[service]], of complete [[humility]], of the highest serving the lowest not the other way around. When we look upon your earth and see the [[ritualized]] [[homage]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethogram chest beating] of the males, the pitiful clawing toward some sort of [[pinnacle]] of respect of the [[females]], we see the spiritual vacuum that creates this type of [[society]]. We see [[parents]] mistreating [[children]] and teaching children erroneously about the fundamentals of [[life]]. We see vast [[confusion]] and always we stand ready with [[The Gospel|the simple gospel of Jesus]], ready to help you use it in your own lives and to use it on a broader scale.

What [[human beings]] view as [[power]], is so [[distorted]] and so misused and always those with power [[eventually]] understand the emptiness of it. Spiritual power is true power. It is [[gentle]], is unassuming, but it is the power of [[the universe]]. The true man of power, [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]], came to [[this world]] as a [[humble]] teacher. He [[172:3 The Start for Jerusalem|rode into Jerusalem on the back of an ass]]. He was constantly shunning the power of the world, but never did he veer from the true [[path]] of power which is [[humble]] [[acceptance]] of the Father’s will. His spirit is all powerful on earth as it is in heaven even now. He and the Father are truly one in all respects as viewed from this world.
