This is a time of great change when society itself seems to be undergoing a type of metamorphosis and always change is painful, hard lessons are not learned in ease. There are many challenges ahead for your country, and for each person inhabiting this planet. Never is it easy to love those who do not love us, yet, this is truly the lesson to learn. If there is to be change, that change must revolve about this central lesson, love in the face of non-love. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2000-10-17-Understanding_Others#Lesson Ham]

==Harmony==
Love is harmony. It is a state when all is various and different yet comes together in such a way that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Harmony exists everywhere in nature. All of the individual life forms, with their own individual imperatives somehow work together to create a balanced system where all are provided for and all have a freedom in their self-expression.
Harmony exists in the highest art. Of course it exists in music, but also in every other kind of art. When art is truly harmonious, it is also beautiful, and there is harmony to be found in social situations. Harmony is God’s plan for each and all willing that all human beings should reside together in harmony, and he desires that each individual should have harmony in his or her life as well.
As you progress in your ability to love one another, so do you progress in your ability to have harmonious relations. All of your eternal life will consist of working in groups. You will all have tremendous opportunities to fine tune your own abilities to find harmony in every conceivable situation.
The immature person often finds that creating disharmony creates a place for him or her, that seeking out and even causing problems creates a way to distinguish oneself from others. This is true also of nations and groups of nations, tribes and families or groups of tribes and families, religions also. It’s like a child disrupting a group of adults and doing it to feel important, to feel valuable. So too, your entire world now is going through a type of post-adolescence when one is not sure if one wants to be a child or try to grow into adulthood.
Maturity requires the increasing ability to work harmoniously with increasingly different others. It is a shame that your inability to do this on a national or super-national level causes such extreme suffering as it does. Blaming others and the pursuit of revenge are all adolescent fantasies as revenge is a childish thing which must be put aside in your own lives as well as the lives of larger groups. Peace and harmony will not become real on this world until your peoples can put down these toys of childhood. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2000-10-22-Harmony#Lesson Ham]
