All human beings experience the spirit a little differently, however, in each human being spiritual influence is unified. In other words, you feel the pressure of the spirit and the influence of the spirit whether it be the Master, your thought adjuster, your other more subtle spiritual influences from your angels and so forth – all of this is experienced as one. You do not experience disruption or contradiction at all, but rather all your spiritual influence is unified and coordinated as one.

The overriding spiritual message is love. Love dominates and fashions and controls all spiritual input. When you experience love, whether it is for your friends, for your little pets, for life in general – always that love is given by spiritual awareness. Your soul is feeling a love connection with other life and other souls. This commonness of being, this feeling of belonging in the universe, this appreciation of God’s creatures and his handiwork – all comes from the spirit and is of the spirit. When you experience love, you experience God. To feel and to express love is God-like and so in your journey of becoming more God-like, you naturally become more loving and more appreciative of love.

My children, as you make your way in this life with all its hardships, disappointments, fears and anxieties, you will never be lost nor abandoned so long as you move in the direction of love. When you move away from love, then you can truly become lost. Love is your way finder. Love is your compass, your direction.

My children, as you make your way in this life with all its hardships, [[disappointments]], [[fears]] and [[anxieties]], you will never be lost nor [[abandoned]] so long as you move in the direction of love. When you move away from love, then you can truly become lost. Love is your way finder. Love is your [[compass]], your [[direction]].

The way of love is not the easy way for always do you become ever more vulnerable as your human guard goes down and your spiritual self shines forward. The life of the spirit can only be realized through this increasing vulnerability, this openness of spirit. You must be essentially unafraid of being afraid. You must be open to rejection and disappointment, and you must be increasingly dependent upon forces unseen rather than the things of this world that human beings use to feel safe. For as you grow, you become ever more trusting of the spirit and ever more willing to endure that which the Father sets before you without trepidation. The life of the spirit is one of trust, for you cannot follow the Master and walk with him without trusting him completely.

The Master demonstrated the ultimate vulnerability, but he also demonstrated the ultimate triumph as well. For all who follow after him said he, "you must lay down your life in order to find it. You must, in a sense, release your control over your life. You must sacrifice your own human goals for greater divine goals. But above all my children, you must grow in love. For love is your surest compass. Love is the direction finder for your lives. And with this new found life you will find increasing joy, happiness and contentment as well. The Master did not create his children to be crushed by spiritual slavery to rules and regulations. The Master created you to be freely alive to his love and to be freely accepting of the Father’s plan. When you love, my children, you are free and when you fear, you are enslaved. As you grow in the spirit and you release deeper and more profound fears, you will begin to taste true liberty of the spirit and your boundaries will begin to dissolve.

Do not be tempted then to retreat or to step back into seemingly old patterns of safety for in this life there is not safety but that found in the spirit. There is no certainty but that of the spirit and truly there is no comfort but that of the spirit. As you find your way, the joys of spiritual liberation will come increasingly into your lives. You are free to love and free to be loved without reservation, without fearful questioning. Love is the gift that gives life its meaning. Treasure all the love you receive and all the love you give.

Trusting the love of God is an extra step. Make this faith adjustment and actual permanent part of your psyche. Do not look to the left of the right but rather trust the Father to lead you one step before the other. As you grow in this trust, rest in quiet assurance that the Father will provide for the next step. He may not give you 20 steps ahead, but he will give you the very next step before you. This is what you must learn to trust.

Rest in your hearts my children. You will have all you need. All you must do is trust in love and your way will be secure. What are your questions?

Q: Can you elaborate on what you meant by boundaries beginning to dissolve?

Q: Can you elaborate on what you meant by [[boundaries]] beginning to [[dissolve]]?

Ham: Of course. Each of you has your own self-imposed limitations. You have adopted perhaps some views of yourself, you have created a safe area in which to work, you have each some ego investments in who you believe yourself to be. And all those things will gradually be dissolved and your range of motion will then increase. The indwelling spirit is constantly trying to help you expand your ideas of yourselves. The indwelling spirit is always trying to impart a greater divine view of who you are and what you can become. As you trust in this good spirit, you must begin to expand your understanding of yourself as well and you must begin releasing your old conceptions for them to be replaced by expanded versions of how you view yourself. This crumbling of the old and its replacement with the new is a constant process. When you walk with the Master, you truly cover some ground. The old self cannot withstand the spiritual pressure involved in this motion and these old conceptions begin to dissolve on their own. It is not so much a conscious act, but the conscious willingness to change is part of it, certainly.
