Ham: It is both, yes. [[Epochal revelation]] impacts upon the [[individual]] the 'personal revelation' as you of course have [[experienced]] in your [[reading]] of the [[Urantia Book]], but yet, [[we teachers]] [[desire]] to be more like helpmates. We are not directly involved in your experience with Father, which would come under the realm of auto-revelation. We foster your [[relationship]] with the Father, but we do not [[intervene]]. We do not come between you and God. We are merely teachers who [[decide]] to help you bring that [[spirituality]] that you are receiving from the Father, help you [[understand]] it, help you apply it, and to steady you on your [[path]]. We are assigned to teach, not to [[reveal]] the Father, for [[the Father]] reveals Himself with you each.

Q. My name is Mark and I'm part of a study group in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitoba,_Canada Manitoba, Canada]. We received a letter from your group, a message from yourself, saying that Manitoba, Canada, was the spiritual center of the planet [[Urantia]], and that we were to [[receive]] a teacher by the name of [http://www.richardrowespeaks.com/ Richard Rowe '''(?)]''' in 1992, and we haven't heard anything since. Can you [[explain]] what its all about?

Ham: Certainly. The word for your location was an [[error]] in the transmission of [[planetary headquarters]]. However, we, [[the teachers]], are aware of your group, your small group. We are always willing to teach when you are willing to [[receive]]. Be cautioned my son, for you are doing very well, and yes, a teacher is assigned to you. However, be [[assured]] that [[love]] is the message and the [[essence]] and the substance of her teaching. Is this helping your [[understanding]]?

Ham: Certainly daughter. What you term personal [[correction]] is simply recognizing what are [[obstacles]] to [[love]]. Everyone has obstacles to [[receiving]] the full, the complete love of God. I dare say if you were [[receiving]] the full and complete love of God you would be [[fused]]. Yes, fused. What we [[desire]] is to simply help you recognize the places where you are not [[receiving]] love, where you have fear of receiving love. Sometimes you children forget that love is a powerful [[force]]. It is not something [[light]], something [[ethereal]]. It is a powerful spiritual [[reality]] and as you [[interact]] with love, [[love]] changes you. We simply try to help you cope, help you [[understand]] those changes that are occurring. We do not [[change]] you. [[Love]] changes everything. That is all. Is that helping? (Yes.)

Q: Quick question--I don't know if this is addressing you or not. Some people might [[wonder]] why [[Rebecca]] wears a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandana bandanna] over her eyes. Is that something you require or is that something that is a benefit to the [[TR]] [[personality]] that is [[transmitting]] for us?

Ham: I believe it is to aid Rebecca's [[concentration]], nothing more. (Thank you.)

Q: If one wishes to [[receive]] a teacher does that necessarily mean that in any way, shape or form you also have to be involved in the [[transmitting]] and receiving process with [[this Mission]], or is it simply a matter of having a recognizable [[personality]] to, in addition to individual [[relationship]] with [[God]]?

HAM: Son, there are no requirements. This is not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_camp boot camp]. However your [[relationship]] with your teacher evolves, however you are [[comfortable]] with your teacher is wonderful for the teacher, and the teacher will accommodate you in your needs. It is not for you to accommodate the teacher.

===='''''[[Defenses]]'''''====

Q: Ham, I sometimes think that instead of a "[[teaching mission]]" you should have called this the "[[therapy]] mission." [[Laughter]]. I don't say that to be sad about it, but it helps so many people as we all know. My real [[question]] is what can you do for us who [[participate]] to help us overcome our insecurity and [[defensiveness]]. Because others do not [[agree]] with our [[participation]] in [[the Mission]], we seem insecure and defensive with others. How can you help us to overcome this -- to reach out and [[accept]] those who do not accept this -- for I would think that in [[love]] - that would be the ultimate [[goal]] and that is what you would want?

Ham: It is not up to me to [[evaluate]] or assess the progress of the [[Teaching Mission]]. Those who do monitor these things tell me that everything is going according to [[the Father]]'s will--to [[plan]]. Be unperturbed. Be unworried. Find [[peace]] in your [[heart]] in all these things, for they are truly in the hands of God. I am [[aware]] of your human striving, your human [[struggles]], and this is [[natural]]. This is all a part of being human -- part of being a [[human being]] on [[this world]]. [[Love]] each other as we love you. Show each other your love as we show our love. That is what is important. Nothing else will [[change]] the world.

Q: You state very [[beautifully]] the [[power]] of [[love]], and for it to [[change]] peoples [[hearts]] and the potential to change the world. Is there also within your [[understanding]] of the power of love what we would call [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tough_love tough love], of naming or labeling injustice and wrong?

Ham: Of course. As you [[ascend]] in your spiritual [[journey]] it becomes easier to distinguish [[truth]] in its higher forms, and, it is also easier to distinguish [[error]] in its many forms. To fight on the side of [[righteousness]], on the side of [[goodness]], is always a [[noble]] battle. Be at ease, for you do well, daughter. You are greatly loved by more than you will ever know in this [[life]]. That is all.
