===Lesson===

This season which commemorates the Master’s life is seldom a time for true remembrance. Your planet is going through a period where humanity seems to be all at once requiring others to understand them while not requiring understanding of others of themselves. For many years, we have watched this child-like manifestation proceed. It has rippled through individuals, communities, and even nations. It seems more important to everyone to be understood than to understand.

This season which commemorates [[the Master]]’s life is seldom a time for true [[remembrance]]. Your planet is going through a period where [[humanity]] seems to be all at once requiring others to [[understand]] them while not requiring understanding of others of themselves. For many years, we have watched this child-like [[manifestation]] proceed. It has rippled through [[individuals]], [[communities]], and even [[nations]]. It seems more important to everyone to be understood than to understand.

You cannot continue on this road. It will not lead to anything but disappointment, death, and destruction. It is important now that all individuals say instead, "it is more important that I understand the other fellow than that he understands me". The Master as he lived his life on this planet made this part of his example to mankind. Always was he willing to be misunderstood, but never was he willing to misunderstand.

This is a time of great change when society itself seems to be undergoing a type of metamorphosis and always change is painful, hard lessons are not learned in ease. There are many challenges ahead for your country, and for each person inhabiting this planet. Never is it easy to love those who do not love us. Yet, this is truly the lesson of Michael and his life. If there is to be change, that change must revolve about that central lesson, love in the face of non-love. The Master in his infinite mercy does not give his lessons in a stingy manner, but is rather always liberal in allowing his children to fully learn each one of his great truths.

Tonight I would like you to each turn to the person on your left and tell that person how much they mean to you and how much you truly love them. Let us begin with Rebecca.

Ham: Greetings, again. That is wonderful to see you children connect with each other and to express loving feelings. Usually, human beings have a tendency to suspect the worse about how people feel about them. Often times you tend to read much more into minor misunderstandings that is actually there. It is good take time simply to express your love and your understanding of others for it is so important for you all in this group to feel accepted by one another and indeed loved by one another.

Let us take a few moments to pray. Father, Michael, in your infinite wisdom and your infinite mercy rap your arms around your children here this evening. Hold them securely in your arms so that they will feel safe and loved. Heal the scars of abuse which tend to cause distrust and feelings of alienation. Heal the scars of neglect which also tend to cause distrust and feelings of low self-worth. Heal the scars of abandonment which run deep and cause feelings of self-doubt and even distrust of self. Allow these children to grow up all over again, to heal their pasts and to embrace their futures. You have been with them from the first, now let them realize it in their hearts. Comfort them when they are distressed, cradle them in your arms and wipe away their tears when they are sad, allow them to partake of the bountiful joy that is part and parcel of their new lives. Show them how to drink of this spiritual fountain, evermore deeply and completely so that their lives are full of joy and full of understanding. Amen.

Q: Ham when you talked about this wanting everyone to understand us but not wanting to understand other people, does this also relate to the materialism we see in our society? Do people want things for themselves but not for others? Is this related?
