Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am happy to be with all of you this evening. Over the last few years, we have discussed many things, but our main focus has been on your personal soul growth. Tonight, again, we shall discuss this general topic.

The growth of your soul occurs on an unconscious level. You experience its effects but you do not directly experience its growth in your minds. Sometimes, you may feel as if you have a block or something holding you back. These are times when you feel confused or unsure of yourselves. Often this feeling of vague uneasiness is an indication that you are undergoing a growth spurt. It is when you are feeling good and balanced and well that little growth is probably occurring. And your growth will progress this way: times of uneasiness, discomfort, followed by periods of balance and well-being.

This is what we call spiritual heights, or times when you feel that ease in balance and your ability to love and accept love is unimpeded. These times are wonderful, and it is well that you have them, for if you were to undergo constant spiritual growth, you could not stand it. When you are on the plateau, your personality is unifying all the parts that have grown and you feel at peace. So, in conclusion, it is wise to give thanks for those stressful periods of growth because you know you will reach a plateau, and experience progressively greater peace. Are there any questions at this time?

Q: Abraham talked to us about accelerated growth, and said that those of us in the mission would experience it. What does that term mean? A: I cannot be entirely sure of his meaning, but you who have dedicated your lives to the service of the Father do undergo a more rapid spiritual growth. It is as though your lives were more concentrated for the experiences that you are undergoing helped to concentrate your minds on the spiritual side of things. Many, perhaps most human beings go through weeks and months without giving their spirituality much of a thought. But I would be surprised if any of you go a day without contemplating the greater realities. Does this answer?
