===Lesson===
 
Ham: Greetings my children, I am Ham and I am your teacher/friend. We are happy to have your three here this evening. Where there are three gathered together, so there is the master’s personal presence as well. It is indeed true that you have come very far, all three of you, over the last several years.

===Lesson===
 
What is spiritual growth but the progressive taming of the animal nature by the spiritual nature? Humanity is so very full of contradictions, so very mixed with the desires of the flesh as well as the desires of the spirit. The lower nature is full of fear, animosity, feelings of revenge, feelings of hurt. Like a pride of lions, the dominant male desires his homage from the group. These feelings, this pull of the instinct, this tendency to feel fear and anger, this is all part of the animal legacy that is encoded in your bodies.

It is correct always to worship the Father and it is also correct to worship the creator son. Worship is just an outflowing of awe and wonder and love. Seek to overcome the lower nature with his help. Follow him truly and he will lead you unto paradise itself.
