===Opening===
 
Ham: Greetings my friends, I am Ham and I am happy to have this opportunity for discussion once again. Let us discuss the progressive process of allowing spiritual invasion of your mind and body. All spiritual progress depends upon the assenting personality, the willingness to allow spiritual saturation, the willingness to open the doors of one’s heart to the Father’s gentle being.

===Lesson===
 
Sometimes the mind can be like a rebellious and high spirited horse who bucks and flees in rebellion without reason, without provocation. Sometimes the mind can be frightened easily and recoil in fear closing down the avenue of spiritual contact. But, as you grow in the spirit, you find ways to tame the mind and to bring the mind into a more docile posture in relation to the spirit. Like the horse that is ready to flee, the mind also must be coaxed, reassured, and made more gentle through sustained contact with the spirit.

Have no worries my friends. Fear can cause great havoc. It can cause your world to step backwards, but it cannot ultimately prevail. Be completely at peace as you struggle with your own inner rebellion, your own inner fears. Know that following God’s love is the only right direction. You need not have any worries for your futures and as you grow in the spirit, you will naturally become more and more confident in the Father’s guidance.

Q: To let go of the fear and stop rebelling, is this a process that we can accomplish in this lifetime or is it likely to take much longer?

   Line 66: Line 69:     
Ham: Certainly. My son, you are doing very well. You have come through some difficult maneuvering quite recently and you are continuing to embrace the Master’s love and his presence in your life. In all things, you are finding strength and fortitude through the gradual relinquishing of control. In general, the greater control, the greater the need for control, the weaker the character. Self-control comes naturally and in harmony with the very relinquishing of control, the very embrace of the greater self without pressure or fear. Think about the grace of God and how this grace touches your life and allows all things to become new. Rejoice, my son, and be exceedingly glad. You are making wonderful progress. Have no fear whatsoever.

===Closing===
 
Any further questions? My children, you are all doing well. Relax and be at peace. Your way will open and you will have everything necessary for your journey. Let the love of God rest upon your hearts and the praise of God rest upon your lips. Farewell until next week. My love and my prayers are with you each.
