===Opening===
 
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am glad to have this time with you this evening. This time is one in which you are each growing and taking steps which lead into areas of growth and times of instability, but your direction is constant and secure. You have each made decisions affecting direction, but you are wholly unconscious of the great unconscious growth and work taking place within you. Even during sleep, your decisions and your conscious awareness of unconscious development gives you strength and resolve of purpose. Each of you may feel periods of depression, periods of unsettling disturbances within, but you must know that through this process you are being prepared for future work.

===Lesson===
 
Each of you is learning to release old feelings, wounds, and scars of the past and instead you are learning new ways to accept your deepest emotions and to be unified from your depths to your heights for always is the soul struggling for unity. Once you have that unity, you less apt to be shaken by external events and ever more apt to remain steadfast in the face of those swirling uncertainties that surround you every day.

The way may be rocky, but it is not impossible. Trust my children, trust and then trust some more. When you are despairing, trust. When you are rejoicing, trust. And then rest in perfect peace, for you will have Divine assurance as to your way.

===Dialogue===
 
Q: It seems to me in the past few months you have returning to topics presented in the past rather than giving us a lot of new material. Is this a correct perception on my part?

Ham: Yes. It often is the case that material must be presented many times and received many times before you begin to get a real experiential understanding of my words. You may read the Urantia Book many times, for example, and understand it differently at each reading because you have grown, your awareness has broadened, your comprehension has deepened. Each step we help you with in the spirit is similar to your previous steps for it is all a process of gradually relinquishing your selfishness and taking up the yoke the Master is placing upon you. Each cycle repeats a similar process as you move from one level to the next, from one level of spiritual cognizance and awareness to one that is broader. So even though your spiritual development increases, the process of going from one step to another is pretty much the same.

Ham: Yes my son, you are always making progress. Remember to be open to those tiny internal prodding’s of the spirit. Old patterns are hard to break and sometimes you can allow yourself to be drawn into a pattern of ease rather than having that openness of spirit that will allow you to alter that pattern. So, be open, my son, open. Life is change. Don’t worry about what should be rather accept what is then take it from there. Find your faith increasing as your contact in the spirit increases. Be at peace in all you do. All is well.
