Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy to be here this evening. Tonight, let us discuss entering spiritual adulthood. The Master said many times, you must become as little children in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. And this is so. Human beings tend to hit life running, they work and struggle and develop ego willfulness very early. And so the road back to child likeness is full of the pain of ego destruction. But, once you have grasped the faith of a child and have entered the kingdom, then you must grow up all over again. This spiritual maturing is filled with choices and it is up to you to employ every bit of spiritual light at your disposal in making these choices.

===Lesson===
 +
The Master said many times, you must become as little children in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. And this is so. Human beings tend to hit life running, they work and struggle and develop ego willfulness very early. And so the road back to child likeness is full of the pain of ego destruction. But, once you have grasped the faith of a child and have entered the kingdom, then you must grow up all over again. This spiritual maturing is filled with choices and it is up to you to employ every bit of spiritual light at your disposal in making these choices.
    
The choices you make are ever more fundamental and more far-reaching. You are deciding to find the Father’s will in each situation and though you may have your preferences, you must always develop the habit of submitting your will to that of the Father. Otherwise, you remain child-like in ways that are unbecoming in an adult. But my friends, it is important to learn to laugh at yourselves, to recognize in these lapses of composure the little child stomping his feet, wanting his way and let this be light on your hearts not a source of condemnation or troubling to your souls.

Line 20: Line 22:     
Whatever you are confronted with, whatever temptations you might experience, you must realize that your loyalty to the Master and the Father, this will lead you through. This loyalty cannot be subservient to any other loyalty and in this way you will have peace in this life and certainty of your survival in the next.
