===Opening===
 
   
Ham: Greetings, my children, I am Ham and I welcome each of you here this evening. This evening, we shall discuss the slow and steady process of understanding yourselves more completely. No human being is born or presently lives in perfection. All individuals carry many different obstacles to growth. Most of these obstacles are borne unaware. It takes time for human beings to be unafraid of themselves in order to examine their imperfections. But this very process is the engine of spiritual growth. Without imperfection to overcome, human beings would not have the foothold to propel themselves forward in growth.

===Lesson===
 
Each human being has personal weakness which manifests perhaps in vanity or pride, envy, things which have traditionally know as venial sins. These are the handholds and footholds of growth. They are the rungs of the ladder you climb. As you step closer toward God, you must step over these personal weaknesses recognizing and overcoming them in some sense.

Yes, all ascending sons are likewise engaged. I would say that over time these things grow more subtle and more insidious. As you know they are even found among such highly created beings as Lucifer was.

Ham: Yes, my son. Also take heed of this lesson. There are parts of your personal nature which are quite fragile and have been protected for a long time but which can use and honest airing and open examination. In many ways you are stronger than you think you are weaker than you think you are in other ways, just like all people. See how the strengths can be weaknesses and weaknesses strengths. Be unafraid of yourself. Be unafraid to be a human being with human failings and human problems. Being a teacher has forced you to project a persona of confidence and assurance. Examine this, how it is a help and a hindrance, in your spiritual life. You do very well.
