Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and again I welcome you each here this evening. Tonight, we shall discuss honesty. Self-honesty is something which is very difficult for humans to achieve completely. There are always areas or aspects of one's personal behavior or life experience that are painful to examine. Human beings are very adept at avoiding these areas. It is easier to slough something off, to dismiss a comment without looking at it than it is to bring yourself to face those sides which are difficult to acknowledge.

Self-honesty is something which is very difficult for humans to achieve completely. There are always areas or aspects of one's personal behavior or life experience that are painful to examine. Human beings are very adept at avoiding these areas. It is easier to slough something off, to dismiss a comment without looking at it than it is to bring yourself to face those sides which are difficult to acknowledge.

Usually, these areas have pain at their center and so you will often do almost anything to avoid experiencing that pain including being dishonest with yourselves. It is hard to reveal our pain to ourselves and to acknowledge our weakness in the face of it. You also know that facing your inner pain and honestly acknowledging it to yourself is what is required to eliminate it. Most humans have a center of pain that is like a big black stone that you do not acknowledge, that you walk around and pretend it isn't there. Why is this stone there? Who put it there? The answers lie buried deep in your past, deep in your childhood experience.

Truly, it is that everything you have and everything you are is of God. Everything that is real is from him. Everything that is not real, is from you. Human beings early on in early childhood make decisions about who they are. You might make the decision, "I am shy" or "I am a clown", or "I am no good". All these things are decisions you made as a child. As an adult, you must let go of the childish things and go back to "I am nothing, but it's OK".Are there any questions at this time?

Q: When you say we are nothing, but it's ok, I take it that we are nothing without God and that's OK.

Ham: Son, you do well. You have the blessing of angels upon you and yet you persist in seeing scarcity where there is abundance. Embrace your angels and give thanks for all that you have which is truly very, very much.
