Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am grateful to be here with you
this evening. This evening let us discuss increasing soul harmony with
the universe. Each of you is growing in the spirit toward lives of
greater internal harmony and external harmony as well.
Your souls vibrate in response to the Master's spirit. His truth enters
your souls and causes a vibrational reaction. As you come into a greater
synchronization between your soul, the Master's spirit, and the greater
universe - so too do you create harmony around you and your
relationships get easier and smoother because the harmony within you
vibrates outwards.
Inner disharmony can create outward disharmony very quickly. Usually the
cause of disharmony is some kind of ego assertion. This ego assertion
simultaneously pulls your soul away from the Master-Father and pushes
into the external world or demands from the external world some ego need
or requirement. In effect, you are refusing something from the Father
while demanding it from the world.
Nothing in the outer world, no other human being, can give you what you
must receive from the Master's hand. You cannot find the bread of life
in the outer world alone. Only the Father and his Son grant the
spiritual bread of life. It is only through the spirit that you can find
it.
This spiritual harmony increases as you grow toward the Father and gain
his spirit as part of your soul. When the Master said you shall become
increasingly like the Father, he also meant this partaking of the
spirit, this becoming the spirit. With the spirit, there is life and all
life responds to the spirit. As you grow in the spirit, your drawing
power becomes apparent and you draw to yourselves those who thirst for
truth and those who hunger for righteousness.
The spirit has the power to five harmony to your relationships. So by
consciously forsaking the will of the ego in favor of the will of the
spirit, you can bring more harmony into your existence. And by seeking
his will, you are seeking also to expand your understanding of his will.
The spirit gives you insights and a way of looking at the world that is
fresh and better than your old way. This insight is also spirit leading
for neither the Master nor the Father desires obedience without
understanding. No, their desire is growth and growth is sharing, growth
is becoming part of all that is and growing in understanding of the
how's and why's of life.
Mankind is not simply a servant of God. Mankind is God's children and
the Father shares all with his children that he can. Some religionists
would promote the idea of blind submission to doctrine and that man is
not meant to know the truth. But how different was the Master's life and
teaching in reality. Always did he say, that which is hidden will be
revealed. You will know me and you will know my Father who sent me.
Never did he say that God was unknowable or unapproachable. The
opposite, his life was an illustration of the concept that man and God
can know one another. The Father hides nothing and reveals everything.
Find harmony with him and you find true harmony in your souls and
harmony in your lives. The Master was always in harmony with God and
thus he was as peace with himself and the world. His words are dynamic
and life giving. They are filled with hope and give hope to all mankind.
Always will the God-knowing be at odds with those who wish to cling to
the old, outworn doctrines of the past. It is a very frightening thing
to have your doctrinal security yanked away. The Master's living truth
continues to do this. His words continue to create fear among those who
fear life. Behold, said he, the old ways are passing away and all things
are becoming new.
You who have been through so much in your own spiritual struggles, you
will help to provide some guidance for others who yearn to have
spiritual freedom. The Master also said, I have come to free the
spiritual captives. Freedom indeed is the key to his life and his faith.
True faith is liberating, open, and free. Faith that is not free is not
true faith.
Find then the freedom within that loving God creates. Find the freedom
to tune yourselves to his harmony and find freedom and love in your
relationships with others as you find it with him. You are each doing
very well in the spirit.
What are your questions?
Q: Do you have anything for Rebecca?
Ham: Yes. Daughter, you are finding that growth which fine tunes the
spirit and gives love in abundance. Truly you are realizing the abundant
wealth of love which surrounds you. Seek the Master's hand in joy and in
love. Let him open your heart still further and allow him to guide your
steps toward ever increasing peace and harmony.
Q: Jarad?
Ham: You are doing very well my son. You are finding ways to let go of
the past and to walk forward toward ever increasing levels of work and
influence. Little by little you find yourself at peace with how things
are right now. Little by little, the harmony in your life increases and
periods of disharmony become ever more rare and limited. The Master is
also your father and he is ever ready to respond as a true father. Test
this. Explore your real father's love. You are doing very well.
Q: Ham, may I have a personal message please?
Ham: Certainly, my son. Fear not, for you do very well. This period of
illness has also been a period of spiritual growth. You are welcoming
love into your life more and more and as you do this, you are also
accepting truth and truth is not so frightening for you anymore. Do not
worry my son for spiritually you will continue to make progress even as
the body has its ups and downs. Be grateful for this opportunity.
Gradually you will have the strength you need and will not feel so
fatigued. But, you still have a long road before you and you can only
walk a days worth each day. Don't try to hurry the process.
Q: I'd like personal message please.
Ham: Of course my daughter, you are doing well. You are ever diligent in
trying to stretch your psychological understanding. But there are times
when you must simply feel your way and be at peace with how things are
rather than postponing peace and happiness to the future. My daughter,
you must allow yourself happiness. You must allow yourself peace with
yourself. You are a person struggling to get from here to there at all
times. But, the Master wants you to be at peace and happy here and now,
not there and later. In other words, don't push yourself so hard but
seek after that peace which passes understanding. Accept yourself as you
are, my dear. Never forget that you are the Master's beloved little
daughter. Nothing truly terrible is going to happen. Accept the lessons
he give you to learn and let it be at that. You are doing just fine.
Have peace in your heart my dear for all is well.
Q: Do you have any counsel for me tonight Ham?
Ham: Of course my son. You are doing very well. Do not fear the many
troubles and problems that are part of life for you have the ability to
cope with whatever comes your way and you will be increasingly at peace
as time goes on. Many times we have counseled one step before the other
and you are coming to a place where this counsel is more welcome. It
will not be an easy road, but that is because the Father wants your
training to be thorough. You will have what is necessary for your
growth, whether this be challenges or ease. Have peace in your heart my
son, for you are making very good progress.
Q: Do you have a personal message for Norbert?
Ham: Yes. My son be at peace. Have increased confidence as you grow
toward the spirit and love invades your soul. Do not fear or worry.
Simply move forward each day in loving gratitude for your great good
fortune. Be at peace with what you have and how things are now. Then,
the Father will send you more. He will be understanding.
Q: Do you have a personal message for Charlie B?
Ham: Yes my son, as always you are doing well. Rest your soul in quiet
assurance concerning your value in this life. No man can measure his
value, but you must accept your value and find gratitude in this. You
are doing well my son.
Q: Do you have any feedback for me this week Ham?
Ham: Yes my son, as always you are doing well. We are very happy with
your progress and they only thing I would say is that you should
continue to open your heart and when you feel your heart closing,
consciously force it to open.
Very well then my friends, until next week my love and my prayers are
with you each. Farewell.
