Ham: Greetings, friends, I am Ham and I am grateful to have this time with you this evening. Let us discuss the difference between hope and illusion. Hope is instilled in the human soul by the human act of faith. Faith reaches toward the unknown and hope is instilled in the human heart in reciprocal measure by the spirit. Hope then becomes an increasingly permanent attitude of the soul toward life in general. Hope does not necessarily attach itself to any one particular hoped for outcome. Hope is rather that attitude of faith which believes in the Father’s goodness and trusts in his guidance. Hope is believing the future will turn out for the best, however that may be.

Illusions come about when hope is attached to a specific future outcome. Illusion can then dominate hope and cause a person to do whatever it takes to create that illusion in reality. In this way, the ends begin to justify the means, so much so that the greater the utopian nature of the illusion, the more worth it increasingly desperate and even immoral measures become justified by that illusion.

You are all doing very well and you are all patiently submitting yourselves to the process of spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is not pain free. In fact, it can be very painful to undergo the process of shattering old illusions. Such, however, is the way of Michael. Those who follow him must submit themselves to pain as well as joy, to sorrow as well as love. Each of you is finding your way and as you do you must also find your own way to grasp the Father’s hand and to submit to his own gentle leading.
