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?

Ham: Absolutely. Remember [[the apostles]] and their [[illusions]]. The great roles they were to play in [[administering]] the earthly kingdom over which [[Jesus]] would reign. 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 wont 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis 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 ever 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.

Q: Ham, do you have a personal message for me please?

Q: Ham, may I have benefit of your [[counsel]], please?

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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobgoblins 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.
