Often times the human being who is touched and inspired by the teachings of the spirit, these human beings desire greatly to be instrumental in touching and inspiring other human beings as they have been. But often, the way to becoming that tool of the spirit is much different in reality than they would wish it to be. The way is harder, the successes seem slower, the road, like all human roads, are filled with disappointment and disillusion. That does not mean that they are less effective than the Father would have them be. The very fact of treading the human road is a testament to the Father's great loving wisdom which gives all human beings the education they need. Human beings are want to think that once they are touched by the spirit that they are exempt from mere human realities. They wish to be lifted above their fellows and given supernatural powers. And behind these wishes, is the very human desire for acceptance, love and a place of belonging. Sometimes humans who don't fit in well in society in general have unreal illusions of being above society in general. This is common, human but it is also dangerous and can border on the psychotic when taken to extremes. Sometimes the more a person finds their illusions rejected by others, the more they will take refuge in these illusions magnifying them even more. Likewise, those who find acceptance of others for their illusions will also tend to magnify them and to impose them more and more upon others. Human illusions are all destined to crumble before the Father's harsh realities. The Father does not coddle his children by encouraging such fantasies. He who would be greatest among you must become a servant to all. That is the truth and will always be the way. No man, no matter how mighty, must every put himself up to be worshiped by other men. All the mighty kings of your past who have done so were brought low eventually. Their kingdoms are no more. The Father, while loving, is not mocked. He does not allow that which is of the earth to stand in place of that which is divine for long. + + − + − + − + − + − everything now. But, that is the attitude of the child.

Q: These people who are trapped, weren't they looking for a trap or looking for an escape that turned into a trap?
Q: These people who are trapped, weren't they looking for a [[trap]] or looking for an [[escape]] that turned into a trap?
Ham: You put it succinctly. The ways of the world are filled with these kinds of welcoming trap doors. Many things which can seem to be a way out of the cycle of worry, fear and stress are simply traps in which that cycle is amplified. The intoxication of wealth, the pursuit of physical pleasure, the seeming oblivion of intoxicants, all these things are alluring traps and there are many more besides.

===='''''[[Teaching Mission]]'''''====
Q: I have one more question. The idea that each of us may have a role to play in the teaching mission is not an illusion. However, in many cases our ideas of what these roles might be are probably illusions? Would you care to comment on this?

===Personal Counsel===
Q: Ham, do you have a personal message for me please?
Q: Ham, do you have a personal message for me please?
Ham: Yes my dear, you do very well. It is wonderful to see your spirit blooming, to see you finding happiness and security that have long eluded you. Be ready to accept added responsibilities for the work of the mission. As the years go by, you will be called upon for much service and this is something which will add to your happiness rather than detract from it. You are doing very well my dear. Be at peace.

Be ready to accept added [[responsibilities]] for the work of [[the mission]]. As the years go by, you will be called upon for much [[service]] and this is something which will add to your happiness rather than detract from it. You are doing very well my dear. Be at [[peace]].
Q: Ham do you have any thing for Rebecca?
Q: Ham do you have any thing for Rebecca?
Ham: Yes my dear, the way of returning home to greater truth is one which resonates in your heart. Have complete confidence in the Father's loving watch care and know that you are secure as you find your way in the world, step by step. Be at peace. You do well.
Ham: Yes my dear, the way of returning [[home]] to greater [[truth]] is one which [[resonates]] in your [[heart]]. Have complete confidence in [[the Father]]'s loving [[watchcare]] and know that you are [[secure]] as you find your way in the world, step by [[step]]. Be at [[peace]]. You do well.
Q: Jarad?
Q: Jarad?
Ham: Yes my son, you must also be at peace. You are a person of great character and you must find within that character patience. You are someone who at times becomes impatient to your detriment. Think about patience and how you can incorporate this virtue into your character.
Ham: Yes my son, you must also be at [[peace]]. You are a person of great [[character]] and you must find within that character [[patience]]. You are someone who at times becomes impatient to your detriment. Think about patience and how you can incorporate this [[virtue]] into your character.
Q: Patience with others and myself?
Q: Patience with others and myself?
Ham: Yes. You have come far with this and you have far still to go. You are a man who wants
Ham: Yes. You have come far with this and you have far still to go. You are a man who wants everything now. But, that is the [[attitude]] of the child. The [[mature]] man knows how to wait, knows how to be patient and to accept small [[victories]] in place of big ones. Does this make sense?
Q: Yes it does.
Q: Ham, may I have benefit of your [[counsel]], please?
Ham: Yes my daughter, you do well. You have also come far in overcoming the hobgoblins of immaturity - impatience, intolerance, being demanding, and of course self-righteousness which can undermine the growth of the spirit. All people are plagued by all these things. Some people make an art of enshrining immaturity as eccentricity or the prerogatives of genius and these devices simply put off the day of reckoning when truth must be faced and you, my dear, have been very brave in uncovering these little hobgoblins and facing them down even to the point of being too introspective and too self-critical. Remember that it is wise to heed the Master's words, judge not lest ye be judged. Sometimes this tendency to be judgmental of yourself and others is a great source of unhappiness and leads you to be very harsh on yourself not realizing the greats strides you have made and are making in the spirit. Sometimes, love is enough and is worth the troubles and trials. You have to find that place in your heart, who you truly are, and accept what you truly need and let the rest go. It is our great wish for you to find true happiness and for your mind to be accepting of this happiness without limit, without mental rejection. Things are neither as good nor as bad as they seem. Keep this as a rule of thumb and begin to be contented, truly contented.

Ham: Well, it sounds somewhat odd putting it into English, Wendaring is the closest approximation. Wendaring or Wendaree. You do well my daughter.

Q: Do you have any feedback for me this week?
Q: Do you have any [[feedback]] for me this week?
Ham: Yes my son. You have also made great strides in the spirit and sometimes this can leave you feeling very vulnerable and off balance. Overall though, you are a steady climber, one who is determined to make the journey and are undeterred by side streets. You are learning the lessons which are essential right now so be glad for them and patient with their unfolding. Be at peace with yourself and you will automatically be at peace with others.

Yes my dear ones, my message at this time is simple. I am honored to have been chosen for this assignment and I want you to always be aware of the great blessing this is to me, Ham. I have heard some of you say how much you miss these sessions when you have been unable to attend and when you do return that you are happy to be in the presence of Ham. But know that that happiness is mine also. You willingness to put aside your worldly commitments and to share this time with me is a testament to your search and willingness to seek out teaching, spiritual knowledge, and guidance to enable you to continue on your path of receiving divine guidance which in turn you will be able to use in loving and more generous ways in dealing with your fellows. We are together during these few hours, but I am always connected with each and every one of you. My love is with you.
