===Opening===
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy to greet you all this evening. Tonight, our discussion shall center around our choices. You each have in any time period certain choices or freedom of choice that you can exercise. These choices bring you into the next time period in which you have again a number of choices to make. These decisions, or choices, are limited in time and space and then within that limitation, you can work toward a longer range decision.

===Lesson===
You each have in any time period certain choices or freedom of choice that you can exercise. These choices bring you into the next time period in which you have again a number of choices to make. These decisions, or choices, are limited in time and space and then within that limitation, you can work toward a longer range decision.
For example, you may choose to write a book. The choice does not materialize that book. Then within the time frame of a day, you may be able to choose to spend a certain amount of time working toward that goal. You may choose to lose weight, for example. Simply deciding to lose weight does not create the effect. You have within each time period a choice to eat or not to eat or what you decide upon when you do eat. Each one of these choices brings you closer to the realization of your greater choice.

People fall into little traps of thinking they have to have things a certain way in order to be comfortable and this usually draws some kinds of antagonism with someone somewhere because every body else has the same idea. They have to have things a certain way also. So, there are often needless antagonisms between you that tend to draw energy and create mild unhappiness for no reason.All of you are doing well and are beginning to adapt to the changes that are coming about in your lives. Life, as I said, isn't hard and it isn't easy. But it is both. I perceive that there are questions. Go ahead.

===Dialogue===
Q: Talk about the balance between planning and making choice in the present moment. If you spend all of your time in the present moment, you can't seem to see opportunities and set goals. If you are too worried about the future and spend too much time trying to make things turns out the way you fantasize you think they should be, you miss the opportunities in the moment.

Ham: Yes, that is so.

===Closing===
To my children who have not asked specific questions, know that I know you, and that I love you, that my words are also for you. You each have many different circumstances and many different problems and trials and yet you are all going through certain growth stages so that my words can be a comfort on many levels to many people. Often times, my words are meant to convey an understanding that will develop. Not every discussion is narrow, but rather most are quite broad so that everyone is included. It is my greatest wish and desire that all of you find within each lesson something that helps you in your living, something that gives you an opening for growth. Remember that you are each working with the Father and he will help to take that which you need. He is like the regulator who pulls in nutrients that are necessary to the body. The father helps to pull in nutrients for the soul and if I can help to fertilize the soil to some extent, I am grateful.Go therefore in peace and know that my love is with you and my prayers are with you each, farewell.
