The Souls Increasing Presence

 

 

Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy to be with you this evening once more. Tonight let us continue our discussion of spiritual progress and increasing love.  

 

As you grow in the spirit, truly your spiritual presence becomes more real, more evident. The morontia soul grows and becomes evident to others who perceive through their souls the presence of yours as your soul perceives the presence of other souls, indeed, as you perceive my presence without the benefit of a material body. The fact in your experience of knowing me as distinct from any living human becomes a permanent part of your agondonter status and evolving character. As your souls shine forth from your bodies, more and more you will attract light and love from the souls of others. This knowing is beyond simply rational thought. It is the knowing of experience, not simply the knowing of the mental process.

The fact of spiritual experience forever separates those truth seeking adventurers from those who seek simply mental certainty. For true religion encompasses total experience and is not simply a rational formula. Rather, the thrill of discovering truth, beauty and goodness for yourselves becomes the greatest spiritual value. This experience cannot be transferred. Each human must embark on his own spiritual quest. Each person must discover for himself those spiritual values and moral certainties born of true spiritual experience.

To those certain of our Father’s loving mercy, there is no task too great or problem too difficult to overcome with his help.

Q: Could you elaborate more on what you meant by religion of the mind? It seems to me that it can come in many forms, from the fear-based fundamentalism, to rule-based moralities, to the Urantia book readers who believe the words but have a hard time taking the leap of faith into real spiritual experience. Can you help me understand that better?

Ham: Of course my son. Be at peace. You are doing very well in all areas. You have before you a clear path and you are walking with firm footsteps through each step. Allow the Master ever greater contact in your soul by continually thinking of him and experiencing his presence. Bring him into your decisions and let him lead you as he would lead you forward. Do not worry as you make your way through the moral uncertainties and difficult decisions ahead. Let his arm be about your shoulder and his confident gaze point out your destiny upon the horizon. Have peace my son, for you are doing very well. Find ever greater comfort as your mind is spiritualized through the working of the Master and God’s spirit within. You have all that is needful for this journey. Rest in complete assurance, you will know the way. It will be made plain to you.
