Self-understanding is something which should be never ending. You are a child of infinity and you have an eternal destiny, therefore, self-discovery is also an eternal process. Have courage as you discover who you really are. Each new situation has the effect of eliciting new responses and new self-awareness. Let circumstances challenge you and allow yourselves to open up to new awareness, both outside and inside. You have a choice, you can go through life avoiding stimulation and change or you can embrace the new and honestly confront what you feel and experience.

So be open and be honest. Be joyful for these moments of life. Let go of old patterns and old ways of seeing yourselves that simply will not stretch enough to let in the new. Be engaged in life. Have spiritual vibrancy. Be careful not to dismiss and block out the things you might assume you would not like or wouldn’t want to do. Maintain a youthful attitude as you grow older for you have something very valuable to give to this generation. You cannot require them to meet you in the past, you must meet them in he present. Withhold your criticism. Let young people find their way and be always as open as a child where everything is new and wonderful and different. Be as unafraid as that child is. Experience life , live in the present, in the now. And to do this, require yourselves to continually let go of the past. To do this, you must acknowledge it honestly. Then those events of the past have no more sway over you. Be honest with yourselves and you will grow vibrantly in the spirit. Are there any questions at this time?

Q: This lesson this week sounds very much to me like our recent science of psychotherapy, would you comment on that science?Ham: Certainly. This scientific endeavor, which is really more or less the endeavor to discover the secret of human happiness, this science is moving in the right directions and is sometimes stumbling in that it tries to make the simple into something more complex. When we look at human societies, it is often the simple common sense instruction which does the most good for the most people. The complex theories of the scientists are often only perpetuated among themselves doing very little for the population at large. The human beings continually make the simple into something complex and sometimes the complex into something too simple. But this is how civilization and science progress. Without errors and stumbling, it is questionable whether their would be real progress. Is this helping your understanding?

Ham: Of course. Yes, you are a person of great endurance. You are someone who searches for the answers and you endure many things to find some truth. You are also a person of great spiritual connection. Someone who can have profound spiritual insight in a flash and then lose that and be confused or uncertain for a period of time. Use that endurance to keep searching, keep following that thread of truth and you will come to a place which is not the final answer but will be a place of peace and spiritual tranquility. Remember that it’s not so much a struggle as an allowing. You are allowing the spirit to enter and to lead. This is different than fighting with it. You will find your own balance and your own pace. Don’t be discouraged by those who say you must be here or you must be there, you must do this or that. The spirit is a personal thing and you will find it in your own personal way.
