===Lesson===
Valor or courage can be expressed in many ways. Physical courage is one type of courage. Overcoming or ignoring fear while in the process of carrying forward duty or loyalty in the face of peril is truly a tremendous thing to see. Human beings have a large measure of animal fear to cope with which is always pulling one away from danger towards safety and fear is not something which can be controlled very well but it is something that can be pushed through when a higher calling beckons.

The things that human beings value – wealth, power, and fame – are all but partial shadows of reality and very rarely reflect spiritual achievement. Let it be that words of goodness spring from you. Let it be that gentle consideration of others guides your actions. Let it be that love dominates all your thoughts. But let it also be that your loyalty is made stronger through testing. Is this helping, does anyone have questions?

===Dialogue===
Q: It is hard to know when you are seeking to fulfill your desires rather than the Fathers will even when you say what you want is to follow gods will How can we know when we are engaging in this kind of self-deception?

Ham: Yes my son. You are a person of deep moral strength. But also one who is occasionally torn by inner conflicts and conflicting desires. Once again, unity is key. The personality desires unification so that seemingly conflicting things change into something balanced and steady. Do not fear conflict, but embrace it and work toward its unity.

As always, my love and my prayers go with you each. Farewell.
