===Opening===
Greetings. I am HAM and I thank you all for having come here this evening. I want to discuss regulating conscious thought, which when focused on God, is your highest human contact with Divine source, while focusing the thoughts on human desires is the low end of your thought spectrum. Obviously, it is impossible to maintain the thoughts exclusively on Deity during activities or while doing mental work. However, you can take several times a day a few moments in order to redirect your thought process consciously toward your Father's spirit who is immediately present in your mind always. If you will consciously set aside at least 10 minutes in the morning for prayerful meditation, it will help you establish contact with Him throughout your day, and then in the evening another full 10 minute session for thanksgiving and praise is very helpful. Your days are then bracketed with spiritual practice.

I want to discuss regulating conscious thought, which when focused on God, is your highest human contact with Divine source, while focusing the thoughts on human desires is the low end of your thought spectrum. Obviously, it is impossible to maintain the thoughts exclusively on Deity during activities or while doing mental work. However, you can take several times a day a few moments in order to redirect your thought process consciously toward your Father's spirit who is immediately present in your mind always. If you will consciously set aside at least 10 minutes in the morning for prayerful meditation, it will help you establish contact with Him throughout your day, and then in the evening another full 10 minute session for thanksgiving and praise is very helpful. Your days are then bracketed with spiritual practice.
    
This practice will aid you in elevating your thinking throughout each daytime. You should with time be enabled to connect with the Father's spirit more and more readily and easily and you'll find your entire life to be changing. The transformative power of spiritual communion is all-encompassing. As it is said, he whose mind is stayed on God dwells in perfect peace. You each are learning to focus the consciousness on the Father's spirit more and more and it is precisely through your practice of this communion that you experience a deepening awareness of God's presence always.

I would especially like you to do this in the coming week and practice the maintenance of higher thought levels. This is also a practice of using high levels of mini. As your mental processes become increasingly spiritualized through conscious effort, your fears are gradually left behind in the lower levels of material mental function. Are there any questions?

Q: Is this also a way to overcome other destructive emotions, for example like anger? Is this a way to overcome anger or to move out of anger more quickly?

HAM: Yes. The consciousness level is like your home base. You can move above it into the superconscious realm of pure spiritual communion or below it into the realm of animal fear. This base continues gradually to rise throughout your lifetimes search for the Father. Increasingly does the mind grow through spirit identification so that this base expands as it rises into each new level. The fruits of the spirit are resulting from this process, the fruits of tolerance, temperance, long suffering. All these things are reflective of a balanced mini Wisdom can grow in this environment. A balanced mind wisely is immune from the extreme which plague the immature levels of mind. Maturity, wisdom, and a balanced mind are all morontial developments, and one other thing, increasing joy is always in attendance.
