Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy that you are here this evening. This evening let us discuss the understanding which comes through quiet thoughtfulness, the understanding which comes when judgment is suspended, the wisdom which grows when the ego is quieted.

===Lesson===
All people go through times when you are very busy, when your attention is focused on something every second it seems. These are difficult times for growth. Spiritual development comes with understanding the bigger picture. The ability to step back and understand a situation more completely helps to lend spiritual levers.

The work and worry of the moment will be forgotten in eternity. From the viewpoint of the mansion worlds, what will your life look like? All of you are building toward your life's careers. You are all working diligently to make something worthwhile with your lives. So, remember to take the longer view as often as you can. Think about how what you are doing is building character, how the people you deal with are affected by your presence. Think about how the whole of your life is moving.

Accept your status as children of the universal Father. Take not the role of teacher of seer or prophet. Always be child/student open to learning, open to changing. Realize that you have nothing to give the Father's children but that which the Father gives you and that great gift is love. Accept it for yourselves and you will be able to give it to others. Are there any questions at this time?

Ham: Certainly. My son, you have much to give. Realize that you hold great responsibility with this. Be forgiving as you would wish to be forgiven. Be loving, as you would wish to be loved and be understanding as you would wish to be understood. You do very well. Go in peace.
