HAM: Son, there are no requirements. This is not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_camp boot camp]. However your [[relationship]] with your teacher evolves, however you are [[comfortable]] with your teacher is wonderful for the teacher, and the teacher will accommodate you in your needs. It is not for you to accommodate the teacher.

Q: Ham, I sometimes think that instead of a "[[teaching mission]]" you should have called this the "[[therapy]] mission." [[[Laughter]].] I don't say that to be sad about it, but it helps so many people as we all know. My real [[question]] is what can you do for us who [[participate]] to help us overcome our insecurity and [[defensiveness]]. Because others do not [[agree]] with our [[participation]] in [[the Mission]], we seem insecure and defensive with others. How can you help us to overcome this -- to reach out and [[accept]] those who do not accept this -- for I would think that in [[love]] - that would be the ultimate [[goal]] and that is what you would want?

Ham: Yes. Most of the teachings of the man [[Jesus]] were to go against the [[natural]] inclination. When you are [[rejected]] it is most natural to feel [[defensive]] and feel [[afraid]] -- to feel [[uncertain]]. But [[the Master]] would say… "Go [[boldly]] forth; [[proclaim]] [[the good news]] as you know it to be true." Sometimes your [[seeds]] will fall upon [[fertile]] ground, and there are times the ground is not [[prepared]] to [[receive]] it. This is nothing you can [[control]], nothing you should control. [[Understand]] that your [[duty]] is simple: [[Love]] one another, return [[good]] for evil, return love for [[fear]], return [[gentleness]] where there is a harsh word. It is [[difficult]]. No one said it would be easy, but you are making [[progress]]... fast progress, son. You know this and everyone who knows you also knows this. That is all.

Q: Ham, I am interested in hearing your [[assessment]] of the [[progress]] of the [[Teaching Mission]] up to this point, and your assessment of the progress since the birth of the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] up to this time, and your [[thoughts]] about potential [[dangers]] that we might [[anticipate]] that might be coming towards us in the near [[future]] that we might be better able to deal with with your forewarning?
