===Opening===
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy that we have come together once more. This evening, let us discuss finding yourselves and growing into the divine template. Your real selves is something that you discover and grow into over time. You cannot define yourselves. You are a living, growing, changing being. Every time you decide you are this, shortly you will discover that you have changed and that old definition no longer works. It is impossible to simply decide who you are or what you shall be. No, to be your authentic self is a process of self-discovery and self-revelation. You cannot simply contain your selves within the boundaries you have settled on or soon you will be pushing up against those boundaries and growing past them.

Your real selves is something that you discover and grow into over time. You cannot define yourselves. You are a living, growing, changing being. Every time you decide you are this, shortly you will discover that you have changed and that old definition no longer works. It is impossible to simply decide who you are or what you shall be. No, to be your authentic self is a process of self-discovery and self-revelation. You cannot simply contain your selves within the boundaries you have settled on or soon you will be pushing up against those boundaries and growing past them.
    
Defining yourself is a trap. It is a way to stifle who you are rather than be who you are becoming. The inner self is continually pushing outward and this new vulnerable part brings with it some fear of change and this can lead you to stifle your growth. But every person should seek instead to grow and change and to learn how to welcome this change rather than fear it. Finding your ways my friends comes with finding your selves. For the way toward God is also a matter of welcoming his spirit within you and welcoming the changes this spirit wrought in your lives and so on.

Q: Do you have anything for me tonight Ham?
 
Ham: Yes, my daughter, of course. In all things you are doing well. You are moving forward and yet you are also learning to have patience and to wait as you must. You have been very self-reliant all you life but you must now learn to rely upon the Master instead. Have courage my daughter for in all things you will find the strength you need for what is required of you. You are doing very well. Simply be good to yourself. You will have all you require.

Line 47: Line 49:     
In all things, you are doing well my son. You must be strengthened through partaking of the spirit. You are learning to accept the rhythm of spiritual growth and as you accept this to and fro, your balance will increase and your stability will increase as well. You are a person strong on the outside, strong to others, and inwardly you are sometimes doubting this strength and are prone to self-doubt. But be of good cheer. Release this doubting and take hold firmly of the Master’s hand accepting his love as a child accepts the love of a true parent. You are doing just fine.
