===Opening===
 
   
Greetings, I am Ham and I want to welcome each one of you this evening. Tonight, our discussion is going to revolve around dedication and what this entails as your personalities become more and more dedicated to fulfilling the Father’s will. When you dedicate yourselves to the Father you have become dedicated to something dynamic. It is different than the dedication to an ideal or a principle, for these things remain static. When you dedicate yourselves to the Father, you are dedicating yourselves to following your highest perception of spiritual reality. And though the Father himself is changeless, your perception of him and thus his will for you, in return, is in constant change.

===Lesson===
 
Each person is growing in their perception and ability to perceive spiritual reality. This dynamic between the personality and the Father is one that is constantly expanding and changing to fit the requirements of the human personality. As you go through life, you each are constantly changing in your requirements from the Father. You are fluid as to what your needs are in the spirit. The Father is constantly changing and adjusting in order to fulfill your needs. But there comes a point when your needs are being fulfilled enough that you can turn your attention from yourself and onto others. This is truly what dedication to the Father’s will amounts to. When your cup runneth over, so to speak. When you are able to become a source of spiritual nourishment for others.

Think of all that you do as being a gift to God. Are there any questions at this time?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: Regarding obstacles and difficulties--as we move into a deeper phase of dedication, we face more testing. How can we discern the difference between difficulties that are there for training and difficulties that we have created for ourselves through erroneous choices?

A: Yes, of course. AT this time, there is a great spiritual awakening occurring on your world. Melchizedek, of course, would be included in this explosion of spiritual searching. You will find very many websites searching the name of Gabriel also. Or Abraham. Melchizedek, of course, being a historical figure with very little actual history, before the U-Book, is a source of tremendous speculation, and has been for ages, among the peoples of Urantia. Is this answering?

Q: Is there anything further? Very well, then. Amalayne, you have our profound thanks for your dedicated transcribing. Charlie Byer: you are doing well, son. Be joyous at this time, even in the face of difficulty, you are achieving spiritual peace and this is wonderful to see. Farewell, until next week, my love and my prayers are with you.
