===Opening===
 
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I thank you all for having come here this evening to have our discussion. Tonight, the lesson is about willingness to sacrifice. People, that is human beings, all have to learn to sacrifice. This is all part of your training and is integral to your spiritual development.

===Lesson===
 
Most humans have little understanding of what the attitude of sacrifice is. The attitude of sacrifice involves being willing to throw down your nets and to take up other burdens when the time is right. Being willing to sacrifice involves letting go of relationships or a relationship that is difficult even heart-rending to do.

Have faith, my children, all will be well and correctly understood in the final analysis of your lives. At this stage, you live amid pain, uncertainty, and disappointment. But, you must understand that these are the ingredients that make you grown. They are the digging around the roots. Are there any questions?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: When you say we sacrifice these relationships and things that are obstacles, I know you give us the story of the tree. In the tree the gardener is taking something there and making it better. In the beginning when you said sacrifice the relationships I took it to mean that you said to get away from them or eliminate them from you life, How should I understand this? There are many relationships I could get away from.

Ham: Certainly. Be careful not to strive with men, but to love each man as your misguided and perhaps erring brother. Allow yourself the freedom to love without judgment or fear. The lessons of fatherhood are gradually soaking in, and you are beginning to be able to see all men as the Father sees them and now you must allow yourself to love them as the father does. This loving attitude is easy for you, have the courage to see it through and you will soon discover the wonder of seeing the world through new eyes and feeling your heart to be transformed. Fear not, son, all experience is real and ultimately purposeful.
