Ham (Bill/Isaac): Greetings, my children. This is Ham. I am here with you this evening on invitation of Daniel and Andronason to share in the teacher exchange that we will be facilitating more and more as time goes on. Of course it is a special delight for me to see you as a unified group this evening with your sisters from the Southland now present in your midst. (Editor: Two members of the Woods Cross group were present.)

Have no concerns that the membership of the teaching mission is in decline for the fluctuations in participation are characteristic of all human groups, and indeed were a source of both joy and anxiety for Michael's original apostles.

I wish to speak this evening once again about LOVE. As you mature in your spiritual progression, as you move from mortal understanding to morontial mota and gain greater insights, you are also learning that the word love denotes an ever-greater and expanding reality approaching cosmic manifestation. Indeed there are many who are beginning to understand that love is more a matter of the will than it is a matter of feelings. It is possible for you to choose to love. Your mortal flesh follows suit with feelings that you would normally attribute as affection.

Love is an attitude, an intention of service

Love is an attitude, an intention of service toward your brothers and sisters. Love is the desire to do good to others, and when it is wholly sincere, it will result in actions. You see, if love was based upon feelings it would be limited only to those you feel comfortable with and who you approve of. When our Master entreated us to love our enemies, he totally transcended the realm of feeling in terms of a door of entrance. If you are commanded to love your enemies and love were based upon your feelings, this would be totally absurd and impossible. We are enjoined to love our enemies. Therefor logically and truly this love is not ultimately or initially a matter of warm, fuzzy feelings. To love our enemies is to be God-like and to recognize that the status of "enemy" is in a large part a perceptive category. The reality of that other person is, in almost all cases, really as another son or daughter of God.

If your enemy should be not of normal mind then this is of a different situation, and in that case these words do not apply. The matter of discernment as to where another person whom you term "enemy" is in fact a faith son or daughter is not something that you can easily decide. Therefor we recommend that you take the default position that this is so-that your enemy is, in fact, a brother or sister of the same Parents and worthy of love, as you are kin. When you attempt to love an enemy, think to yourself, what good could I desire for this other person? What could I pray for, wish for, and even possibly help effect that would be in the best interest of this, my enemy? To love another is a matter of intention, a matter of attitude.

Rudicia (Bill): Greetings, my name is Rudicia. I am a Destiny Guardian Seraphim, one of your sisters who rejoices to provide you with ministry, with comfort, with opportunity, with love. While your world has recognized us in its cultures and has given us a measure of honor, few are those who understand or know that one of our purposes is to keep you awake so that you don't fall asleep and miss your life, (Laughter.) as the poster so aptly states. No, we are not sadistic-

Oh perfect shining Love, central in the universe and spread ever throughout, we your children worship you. We adore you. We are overwhelmed with your goodness and your mercy, with your joy and your heart of love. We thank you for personality existence, for the grandeur of choice, and the ability that we are given to co-create with you ourselves and other manifestations of that ever expanding love that reaches for perfection, the perfectedness of Supreme experience. I thank you for these, my friends, my brothers, my sisters who had the courage to share their hearts with you and believe the words that we have spoken. May they win the battle with self by surrendering to the power of love and in that victory share abundantly with everyone they meet. Michael, our creator brother, we follow your footsteps. We admire you beyond measure. We desire to be your hands and feet, your voices, your heart of love. May it be so. Amen.
