Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am glad that we have this evening together again. My children, we have undertaken a long journey together and we have found the way to be pleasant but not entirely pain free or smooth. The efforts you have made in the spirit are courageous and entirely born of noble intention. You are each making great progress as you grow in self-mastery and spiritual thinking.

The gradual process of the mind’s transition from material sensory and drive domination toward increasing levels of spiritualized thought has been gratifying for me to observe for I undertook such a journey in my mortal life as well. The gradual relinquishing of the concerns of the body is also part of the spiritualizing process. As you grow in and of the spirit, your minds increasingly attach themselves to those things of the spirit the mind can grasp relinquishing in the process the old concerns of the material world, the body, and the ego.

The new life you have each been born into is a life of increasing spiritual awareness and spiritual sensitivity. You are each gaining also a higher spiritual perspective that puts you above the day by day rumblings and conflicts that are inevitably part of existence. From this peaceful vantage point, you can observe with some degree of detachment the passions of the moment without those passions engulfing you.

Do not worry about anything if you can avoid it. Worry is born of fear and fear must be gradually eliminated from your lives. All your energies are required in living the life of the spirit so that useless energy drains like anxiety over anything at all becomes unaffordable. The Father requires all of you in his grasp.

Spiritual preparation will also become more and more important in your lives. The master said many times, "We will be none too ready when the Father calls". And, so you my friends, will be none too ready when the Master calls.

The work before you is light, for you will be given every tool you need and all the instruction you require to carry forward any task the Master should put you to. Once you realize how much support you really have, you will be able to release anxiety on a very deep level for fear can find little pockets to hide in, so to speak, and these hidden pockets of fear must gradually be released as you come upon them. When you come into periods of spiritual testing, you will have absolutely nothing to fear for your fear will already have been released and you will not be surprised or suddenly overcome by fear the way you once were.

Your faith my friends is strong and getting stronger every day. Faith is now not something you have as much as something you are. Faith is part of your character, your make up. No longer is it something to be had and lost, found or failed. You faith simply is part of your life. This profound faithfulness cannot help but impress others on your journey. Others see faith within you and are moved in their own faith.

Make no mistake my friends, your faith is certainly the bedrock of character. Each movement you make in the world pulls you closer to the Master and pulls the Master closer to you, if those movements be consecrated to the doing of the Father’s will. Never will you be alone in your struggles and this feeling of being surrounded by and pervaded by God’s love forever vanquishes the fear of being alone, the fear of isolation and estrangement.

Now you have within you the Father’s assurance over you heart that you are his and his alone. None shall break this bond between parent and child, between creator and creation. Accept this loving claim with complete faith and trust, like a child accepts his fathers hand knowing that hand is protection as well as guidance.

Gradually my friends you are emerging from the world of doubt into the greater world of supreme self-assurance, assurance born of God’s love, assurance born by your own surrendering to that love. Do the then the tasks before you and keep the ear of the spirit open to the Master’s calling. Let him guide you and all will be well.

Ham: Yes my son, do not despair over things you cannot change but realize and move toward those things in the spirit that can give you comfort and direction in your earthly existence. Realize that the Father constantly speaks to your soul saying, "Come son, come to my arms". You are not alone. Listen to this voice. Learn to understand the ever so gentle prodding your inner spirit gives you. And remember, if something does not result the way you had thought, this my no means signifies failure, just difference. Learn to accept the Father’s way and let go of your human struggles to make things your way. Each movement must be judged on one criterion only: are you moving toward God or away from him? Everything else means very little. A human failure might be a spiritual victory and visa versa. Learn to accept the things, both large and small, the Father places before you. You way will be revealed. Fear not, all is well.
