SONARINGTON 
HAM

	Tonight I wish to begin with a lesson on Sonarington. Sonarington is the one
of the Sacred Spheres of Paradise. It is the World of the Sons. You, all
ascending sons from all seven superuniverses, pass through Sonarington on
route to Paradise. It is by all accounts exceeding beyond understanding in
beauty and personal charm. 
	Sonarington, is where you will most readily understand the Eternal Son's
person. His person will touch yours. It is also a special world for the
Creator Sons of the Local Universes. They have found personalization there and
proceed from Sonarington to their future world stations. It is the most
precious of the worlds for ascenders - finaliters. It is the first taste of
Paradise and is forever enthroned in each finaliter's memory for all eternity.
         This world is a precious world also, forever living in your memories
for all eternity. For the memory of Michael, His birthplace is Sonarington and
Urantia. For Michael, this world is His second birthplace and home. He will
always take special interest in Urantia. You who have been born here are very
privileged and cared for. It was understood in His day by Him - Jesus, on this
world, that this world has a special destiny before it. 
	You are the initiators of this rapid changing transformation of your world
from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from despair to hope, from
war and poverty to peace and prosperity. This is your mission on earth. You,
my children, are the special emissaries, role models, evangels and teachers,
of a new and better world to come. Think not lightly on this. This is a grave
and awesome responsibility on which I am placing you. Much will come to pass
in the coming years, and you will one day be the leaders of your world.

THE STILLNESS 
HAM

	My lesson is concerning the stillness. It is easy to achieve if you are
diligent and steadfast in your application of the following ideas: 
        	1. The stillness requires just that--stillness. It is most important
to still the body in order to gain a quietness for the mind to be allowed to
begin its quieting process. Any position is acceptable, of course; it matters
not. Stillness and relaxation of the limbs, eyes, face, hands, and feet, this
will help facilitate stillness in the brain. That is, the electrical impulses
coming from the extremities are lessened, and therefore, the electrical
activity within the brain itself becomes less. 
	2. Then the surroundings should be quiet. Stimulation from the auditory sense
is most distracting and should be eliminated if possible. 
         	3. Mental stillness, this particular aspect of this practice is the
most difficult to achieve. Many of you are, however, making great progress and
strides in this section. Mental stillness is essential for Thought Adjuster
communications to be received. 
	 There is a metaphor in these teachings, of still water reflecting the sun.
When the water (the mind) is turbulent, this reflection is splintered, broken
into myriad refractions. In the ideal stillness, for clarity's sake, the mind
must, absolutely must, be still. Deep relaxation, mental stillness, will,
without fail, result in increased Thought Adjuster communication if you are
patient and willing to commit this time.

FORTITUDE 
HAM

	This evening I wish to begin with a lesson on fortitude. Yes, there are many
times when the road is rocky and difficult to pass over. In these times of
difficult trials, it is easy to forget our true and lofty goal as we climb
this mountain of living. When it seems the road is impassable, it is sometimes
incumbent upon us to wait and be still - patient, for in time the way is
shown. 
	It may be we must climb up into the heights of spiritual ecstasy which will
show the way very clearly. Then there are times when it is incumbent upon us
to pass another way below and into a way where the path is not clear. There,
is undergrowth of cares. There, are rocks and obstacles of worry and darkness
and fright. 
	These ways are difficult to pass through, and many times we must stop; we
must carefully watch each turn to be certain of our path. It is very difficult
during these times to remember the high mountain top when the path was clear. 
	  In these days, when things are dark and troublesome, the path is obscured
and the way unclear, it is necessary to maintain an attitude of strength and
fortitude to keep your courage about you and forge ahead through uncertain
territory. The path of light lies just ahead, just around the next corner. The
way you saw before, you are still upon. Even though it may seem you are lost,
you are not. Strength, spiritual strength, will keep you. Integrity and self-
respect, and yes, even some pride is necessary for your survival in these
times. 
	Keep your spiritual armor with you. The shield of truth, the sword of
righteousness will protect you in these times of difficult trouble against the
real and unreal dangers of life. Yes - fortitude, and then, when the way is
clear and you see that you have gone on the correct path, you will be
satisfied in your innermost self that, yes, you saw the way and you progressed
through it.

WISDOM, STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE.
HAM

	Wisdom. The fruits of wisdom ripen most readily in the dark. It is difficult
of understanding, but I tell you this is truth, our most stable parts of our
inner being are made so by this difficult passage. Our trustworthiness and
faith is strengthened,  our wisdom is ripened, and our souls are made more
perfect, even in these times of trials. Our Father has not created these
worlds for your lazy enjoyment. They are your roads of trial and the trial is
hard, is steep, is difficult. It is purposeful. 
	 Strength of character is not built on a bed of ease, ever. Strength of
character is built brick by brick in the toils of adversity. When you are
enjoying the fruits of your labor, when you have reached the plateau on your
journey where you may enjoy the sun, enjoy the beauty of life, the fellowship,
you remember - you are and have been made who you are, your character - grown
mostly through times of difficulty. 
	You have learned patience. You have learned forbearance. You have learned
tolerance. You have learned understanding and forgiveness. You have learned to
accept your lot and  to make the best of what you have. You have learned not
to whine about the future nor regret the past, but to carry on in the face of
all which is coming to you. Fortitude is the watchword for this day.

TOLERANCE 
HAM

	Sometimes it is difficult to understand your brothers. They are all so very
different, different thinking, different feeling, different emotional balance,
different insights, different mental capacities, different upbringings,
different world views. It is sometimes very hard to reach beyond this wall of
difference that separates two individuals. I tell you now that it is true,
love will always banish all barriers between men. 
	Love is like a magic wand which may be used to make obstacles disappear. It
is a hard tool to master. Much is dependent on surrendering to God, which is
not controlling - feeling emotion, but surrendering instead to love impulses
which, when directed toward another, elicit this same love impulses in return.
It is unfailing except in certain severe situations. If your love is strong
enough, if your heart is willing enough, if your mind is tolerant enough, then
love will surely overcome differences, barriers, and obstacles between you and
any other person. 
	Yes, this is hard, at times requiring a humility and meekness that is
surrendering to the Father's will to a great degree. Some of you may feel it
for a day or two and then lapse back into defending your hearts with worries,
cares and concerns about others. I tell you this is not the way of God. 
	The way of God is complete and total love. The way of God is learning to find
this love within us and letting this love flow outward to bless and give light
to those who may sit in darkness. This also requires a tolerant mind, a mind
which is willing to allow love to come first and understanding later, a mind
to allow a greater mind to be its over-control, and this greater mind is
dominated by love.
