===Opening===
 
I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am so honored you continue to invite me back week after week. Many of our lessons seem to be monotonous, but you never fail to make me feel welcome. Your trust has made me put forth more effort, your kindness has made me more kind, your love has made me more loving, your continuing faith has made me more faithful. I very much enjoy this area of the Garden.

===Lesson===
 
You each by now must have some idea of your personal ministry within the Correcting Time. Your willingness and efforts made to live a life of faith does change the world; it does bring progress to the Correcting Time. The many of you that have stayed the course, even during those difficult periods, have built our foundation that will bring slow and steady progress. If you can think for a moment about the short time that we have been involved in this undertaking, you would be amazed at the increase in spiritual and intellectual growth. You as individuals, and as a whole, have had your share of faith challenges, personal conflicts, as well as personality clashes. You are still here steady and strong.

This week, my friends, I would ask you to find time to spend a few pure moments with the Master. Allow yourselves to be enveloped in His easy going personality. Allow yourselves to be energized by His faithful example. Continue to hold fast to the basket. Our lesson is short to allow time for questions.

CALVIN: Abraham, our sister Miriam sent a request for any words you might have for her. Thank you for this lesson.

ABRAHAM: Understood. It is like the example of our Correcting Time. This has been such a short time. You each personally cannot see the great strides in growth the world as a whole has made. There are certain rules of criteria you can follow to speed things along, but definitely that is not our goal here. Just as it is with our Correcting Time, slow but sure. Anything lasting needs time to take root and become part of reality. It is difficult to build upon a faulty foundation. Much of the time we have to chip away at the old foundation to make ready for the new. Certainly this is the purpose to experiencing an ongoing spiritual career. Brother Ham had gave us some very simple advice in the beginning about taking time for stillness practice. This is certainly helpful in freeing the mind of material storage to broadening to a spiritual horizon. Almost on a daily basis we must account for those things we put as priorities. Where your treasures are there will also be your heart. What is most important? Good question Calvin. (So with the story of John Mark—it was his most important priority to be with the Master. I believe you are saying with the apostles they had other concerns that took precedence.) Absolutely, correct. You are in understanding. Some of the apostles had not pure intentions as did the boy. This is understandable and not judged, but their intentions were for the most part ego based, where John Mark had simple and pure love for the Master. He just wanted to be near the Master. He wanted nothing else. (Tape turned.)You are correct in your understanding. Well done.

If there are no more questions I will take my leave. It has been a wonderful evening for me to spend time in discussion with you. I would enjoy more time in this type of communication, yes. Know that my love is growing always for you each. Go in peace. Until next time, shalom.
