Ham: Greetings, children, friends. Tonight we will talk about the ordering of space and time. The universe consists of three levels of ordered reality. All are relatively conditioned by time. In the first reality level, there is matter, space, and time. These three elements make the physical existence possible.

===Lesson===
 
The second level of existence is in general referred to as morontia, but this level includes all animated matter, everything living partakes of the material and spiritual levels combined. Mortal will creatures contain an added dimension of pure morontia being, that is the soul, that can exist apart from the physical form and does so upon physical death. All other living things exist only in that connection between the spirit and material. On the dissolution of the material, the spirit withdraws and there is no further existence individually as a creature. But, all life is an expression of God, and especially of God's love. All of you who love nature are reacting to God's love in nature. You are seeing his grace, his beauty, in the world of living things.

The time now is to look forward, not to look back. Take your steps along the spiritual path with firmness, decisiveness, and complete consecration of will. Remember that your being contains the highest levels of the universe, that you are never alone, for an instant. Your trust in the Father will only breed more trust. Once you have made the decision and taken the step to trust him, there is no returning to the places of fear and mistrust, the place of the child. Be exceedingly glad, rejoice in the love of God, keep your eye on that point of light that ever guides you, trust and keep trusting and you will find that there will be happiness and peace in this life time. Are there any questions at this time?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: Earlier when you were referring to spiritual adolescence, is the adolescent spiritual stage the only thing we can hope to attain as a free will creature in the physical plane, or is that what the average free will creature attains? You didn't really talk about advancing further.
