Greetings, I am Ham and I am grateful to have you here this evening. This evening let us discuss how to move always toward the Father’s light. You are each going through things that will strengthen your faith over time. You each have the intention of making steps toward the Father. This is not simply a matter of the mind or a matter of the will. It is the whole personality which must continually adjust in thought outlook, attitude and deed towards the Father’s loving gaze. You cannot move one part of your personality without moving your entire personality. And the personality is your whole self, the sum total of your character, your thought patterns, all the different attitudes you carry in life, all the ways you think and feel. So spiritual growth is not simply a matter of reaching with faith, it is also a matter of complete change and continuous change. Reaching with faith is the first step, but then the entire person must make the adjustments necessary to move forward in faith. All these adjustments must be make with love. Those parts of yourself which perhaps you do not love are the most resistant to changing. Love is the catalyst for change and true spiritual progress is attained through and measured by love. Love is the yardstick by which you may measure your growth. Growth is created first by forming the intention to grow, then by allowing spiritual change to take place within you, and thirdly by manifesting that love toward others. Spiritual growth and increasing portions of love are one and the same.

You certainly can facilitate growth by making the conscience decision toward love. If there is a person who irritates you or bothers you, consciously make the decision to find something lovely about them, then you will find something lovely within yourself as well. Love is goodness, truth and beauty at once. Love is the experience of God unified. Loving God and growing in his love is the greatest human experience. Nothing can compare to feeling yourself uplifted, embraced and consumed by His love. Loving others does not blind one to their faults or alter the truth in any way. Loving others allows you to receive the truth concerning them. Hatred is always blinding, love is always illuminating.

The sons and daughters of God fight willingly on the side of truth against error and on the side of love against fear. At every time that fear threatens your peace of mind, conscientiously ask for help and you will have love enough to overcome any fear. Be completely at ease my friends, continue moving toward love with all your might.

Q: Ham, I have felt that I should begin rereading the Urania Book in more depth when I recently came across a reference to a book called the Oahspe and a comparison to the Urania Book. Is this a book that we should look into, meaning will it give added value in addition to the Urania Book, or is the Urania Book sufficient unto itself?.

A: Yes, let me say this unequivocally. The Urania Book is not sufficient unto itself. The Urania Book is the clearest and most complete revelation to date, but it is not in any sense the final word. It is always fruitful and informative to read other works as well. In all cases, there is truth and some error mixed, this is so with the Bible and it is so with the Urania Book to some extent. The Urania Book has few errors, but it is not perfect. You must read the Oahspe and make you own assessment. Each work must be weighed in your own heart.

A: Yes my son. It is wise to do some exercise every day. Be conscience of your diet as well. Your body will tell you what it needs if you learn to listen. Walking thirty minutes a day will make a great difference. That is all.
