It is hard to imagine how you would find love for others without finding within yourself some understanding of them. When you first experience the formation of ego, or the idea of self as separate from others, then you have difficulty in bridging that gap between the selfish needs and wants and the awareness of the needs or wants of others. So, you begin to imagine that you were the other person, having the same experiences that you yourself have had. You don't experience the hunger or thirst or other desires of another person, you experience your own desires, your own hungers or thirsts, and remember that feeling in order to understand the feelings of another.

Find love in your hearts my children, find love in the world, and you will find yourselves living in a world of love and of beauty and peace. Take that step of connection, take that risk of loving. It is easy. What are your questions?

Q: I was wondering if this is one of the reasons men and women sometimes have a hard time getting along, the fact that we have to understand each other to love each other?

Ham: Everyone. Everyone has times of great bursts of creativity or energy and times when you feel you need a rejuvenating. You can't make yourself be one of the other because it is a cycle. Of course this cycle doesn't always fit what you are being required to do so you have to learn to balance and find times for both aspects within what ever your situation is. The essence is don't feel forced to be one thing or the other thing out of someone else's time table because it is not possible.
