Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am glad or happy that you have chosen to be here this evening. Let us consider this questing nature of humankind, this perpetual curiosity that seeks to find that which is more perfect, more true, or more beautiful than that which exists. Deep within the human soul exists a fragment of God himself. This inner fragment seeks always for unity with that which is itself. It seeks union with sublime perfection, it seeks union with truth, beauty, and goodness.

Let us consider this questing nature of humankind, this perpetual curiosity that seeks to find that which is more perfect, more true, or more beautiful than that which exists. Deep within the human soul exists a fragment of God himself. This inner fragment seeks always for unity with that which is itself. It seeks union with sublime perfection, it seeks union with truth, beauty, and goodness.

The seeking of the mind toward betterment is a part of God's design. As you personally seek to be better, it is part of the perfection quest of the soul. The inner drive toward perfection is not always recognized as such. But there it is. You are incomplete beings. You are imperfect beings. You are created in imperfection and given the choice whether to seek perfection or not.

This has been a long lesson so we will defer questions until next week. During the week, think about how you can make God your everything and in what ways do you slight him and turn in other directions. What does it mean when we talk about dedication? What does it mean when we speak of faith and trust? Learn to sort the big things from the small. When all the small things are brushed away, what is the center of your reality? What are your true goals in life? Is that restlessness and hunger for perfection leading you into truth, righteousness and love or are you tricking yourself into thinking that self-serving is a way to channel your energies and make progress?

You all do very well. There is no one in dire need of assistance. I will take my leave until next week. Farewell.
