Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I welcome each
of you this evening. Over the years, we have spoken of
many things. We have visited many subjects and
discussed life in generalities and detail.

What is this business of living? What is the essence of
existence, the purpose of being? I have searched
through many ancient archives, discussed these things
with many more intelligent and learned beings than
myself, and always they recur to the mystery of God’s
will.

We exist because he will our existence into being. We
are his children, his creatures, a part of the working
mechanism of his vast creation. The immensity of his
will is fathomless. We cannot probe or dissect it. It
simply is and is at the heart of all creation.

We know that he created us out of love, that he created
us to fulfill his great purpose of love. The purpose of our
lives is found in that love, it is found in loving each other
and in loving him. We are fulfilled as we receive his love
and made whole and purposeful and true as we orient
ourselves toward his love.

The Father’s love is truly the very essence of all
creation. If it were possible to penetrate the very center
of an ultimaton, you would find love. Matter, energy, all
these things, the vast wheel of creation ultimately in its
center is love.

Love is not without intelligence. Love does not exist
without purpose. The mind who conceived his vast
creation with all its natural laws, all its mathematical
complexity, all its symmetry and beauty ­ this mind is
dominated by the purpose of love. There is nothing
purposeless in creation. All has meaning. All ultimately
when coordinated with the symmetry of love reveals
truth.

Contemplating the wonder of the Father’s will leads to
reflections on the divine nature which is good for human
minds to ponder. The Father desires that you know him.
The Father desires that you love him first, and in that
loving would come knowledge and with that knowledge
would come peace and wisdom.

All of his creation is dominated, oriented, and drawn by
love. All of creation responds to love. Every cell in your
body reacts and responds to love. Love is the
unmistakable presence of the spirit. Those who are
wise recognize the true spirit in their brethren. The
Father’s love cannot be faked.

When the Master said, you will know them by their
fruits, he spoke with great seriousness about how love
dominates, transforms, and makes useful the lives of his
followers. He asked Peter the simple question, do you
love me, three times. And each time, Peter responded
yes, then the Master followed with instruction about
what that love should do. And each person who loves
God finds then in their hearts some instruction about
how to live, how to be with the other children on this
world.

Those who know God know his simple instruction, if you
love me, feed my sheep. Give the bread of life to those
who hunger for it. Give the waters of the spirit to those
who thirst. Give as you have received. And so it is.
Within the mystery of the Father’s will, is the mystery of
love.

Love is our source and our destiny. Love is what
upholds our lives and upholds the universe. Love is the
one great motivating factor in all creation. Love is the
pattern, purpose and meaning of our lives.

So I say to you, love God with all your heart and soul
and find within that love that little instruction. Love each
other and peace will be yours.

Are there any questions at this time.

Q: Ham I am feeling particularly bereft of love and
purpose.

Ham: Yes, my daughter, be careful to understand simple
discouragement and a certain amount of loneliness with
truly being bereft of love. Love desires service and in
finding a way to serve, follow that love. For you have
not lost it, it is not gone. Separate what is self-serving
from what is God-serving. This is not easy and there will
always be those grey areas of course but the more you
set aside the service of self and elevate the service of
the Father, the greater your peace and happiness will
be. And, knowing you, you will dissect your life and
agonize over this, but this is not may intention. Life is
made of little steps and small decisions. Happiness is
largely chosen or rejected. Take those little steps that
make you happy. Service of the Father is joy. This may
not make sense now, but it will over time. Is this helping
at all.

Q: I hope and pray, thank you.

Q: Ham may I have a personal message please?

Ham: Certainly, my son. In the human life, each person
must make sacrifices for the happiness of others. This
idea of putting aside one’s immediate comfort to
augment the comfort of another is actually the beginning
of finding a joyful fulfillment. People, especially now,
tend to think that they are entitled to selfishness and
this is not always in big things, but in small things, and
that this entitlement is adult, but it is actually quite
childish. To grow in th spirit, one must continually
sacrifice the self and in this growth and in this sacrifice
is joy, fulfillment, and maturity. So many people now
seem to feel that rigid standards and unyielding
positions are a birth right but this only leads to lonely,
unhappy lives. The yielding, the bending, and I say this
to both of you, this is where you will find happiness. You
love each other very much. Seek to make each other
happy rather than requiring the other to make you
happy. This is the secret to stable relationships and
maturing growing lives. Is this helpful?

Q: Yes, thank you.

Q: Ham, I would like to say how much I am truly grateful
for the wonderful message you have given us this
evening. My heart is joyful. Could you help me
understand my connection to Kelly? Is a connection
from some previous existence of from some future time.
This has been with me for so long and I wonder if you
have some insight?

Ham: Certainly. This relationship is a wonderful thing
bringing happiness to you both. Sometimes, human
beings tend to see obstacles to happiness that are
simply erroneous and convention. It is part of the
struggle and dance of existence that these things
should exist. But love is love nonetheless and
relationships exist on many levels. Human beings are
complex creatures and your relationships become
unnecessarily complex more often than not. So, it is
best that we make few demands upon each other and
that we seek to love and accept love as it comes. My
dear, your happiness is very important to us and we feel
that you will find an new partner some time soon, one
who will cherish you and appreciate you as you have
not been cherished or appreciated or understood
before. I hope this is helping your understanding.

Q: Do you have anything for Rebecca?

Ham: Yes, my daughter, you are doing well. You have
found only deepening love in your relation with Jarad.
This is a source of great joy for me to see your
relationship growing and developing and deepening
over time. This has been possible because of you both
being willing to yield and to put the happiness of the
other foremost.

Jarad, my son, you do well. You are maturing to the
point of being able to put aside ego as something
valueless when something of value is at stake. This is a
mark of true character. I am profoundly glad to be your
teacher and father and I am happy that my daughter
Rebecca is safe within your care. You do very well my
son. You are passing great tests without knowing.

Q: Anonymous question: Ham, can you please give us
some guidance on homosexuality. I have many gay
friends who are wonderful, loving, caring people, but
their parents are devastated because of so called
"religious values". How can I help them accept that
these wonderful people are not "condemned to hell"?
They say these beliefs are what is "taught in the bible".
They love their children and they keep fighting to "fix"
them because they are trying to be good parents and
"save their children".

Ham: Yes, how sad. The teachings of your modern
churches are right to uphold the family as an ideal for
the intact family unit is truly the basis upon which
civilization is built. However, there are other mighty
contributors to society, as well, who don’t fit into the
religious ideal. But are they any less the Father’s
children? It would help if these parents remembered that
just as they are children of God, so are their children
also direct children of God with his spirit living within
them as he lives in all his children. The Father’s children
are all loved infinitely, none more, none less, and it is
the job of parents to emulate the love of the Father, the
love of the spirit. Within this love, there is no room for
judgment and that is not their job. They must accept that
they have done their best with their children and these
children are now free to live their own lives as equal
children of the Father.

Q: From Charlie Beyer: Could you please ask Ham if he
would mind giving Rose D. a personal message in the
upcoming meeting?

Ham: Certainly. Yes, this daughter has much fire within
her. She is quick to respond to the spirit. She is one
who is also very adventurous or precocious concerning
spiritual matters. She wants to find out for herself rather
than take someone’s word for it. My dear, this is just
what we want you to do. Never be satisfied with half
truths, but seek after the truth with a whole heart and
stop at nothing less than complete spiritual satisfaction.
Sometimes the teachings of childhood rear up like
nightmares and make you doubt yourself. But fear not,
the spirit beckons with love, acceptance, and complete
understanding. Trust your instincts and your own
feelings. Let go of doubt as you push off in the boat of
faith. Faith is all we have at times and it is unfailing.

Q: Do you have a personal message for Charlie B?

Ham: My son, you do well. As always, you search out a
nugget of truth and are relentless in chiseling away the
impurities of error and inconsistency. You are someone
who seeks truth with a whole heart at every crossroad,
at every stopping place of doubt you push forward
towards truth and that has given you a spiritual strength
few men possess. Be at ease my son. Fear not, you do
well.

Q: Do you have a personal message for Marije.

Ham: Certainly. My dear, you do well. You are growing
up quickly and accepting new responsibilities as you
move forward with your life. Joy and peace follow you
and surround you. Heed the messages concerning
making the other’s happiness your own. You are
naturally a very giving person. Be sure to take time to
receive and appreciate all the love coming your way.

Q: Do you have a personal message for Norbert.

Ham: My son, you do well. Do not be concerned about
time going by before you will be ready to transmit. Be
very unconcerned for there is nothing you can do to
change the time table. Live your life. Seek love, and
love others with a full and open heart. Happiness is
yours if you choose to accept it.

Q: Do you have any feedback for me this week?

Ham: Certainly, my son. As always, you are doing well
and are finding your way through the maze of
uncertainty in human relations. This is much easier for
you now. Your self-assuredness is much more evident
and you are much calmer and more secure than even a
year ago. Remember that tact is the fulcrum in human
relations. Choose your words carefully and be slow to
pronounce judgments. All is well and is as it should be.

Before I take my leave, I would like to say a few words
with the aid of our new transmitter.

Ham: Yes, we have spoken at length this evening of
love. It is the Father’s deepest desire that his love will
be with you always on your pathway. But, very often in
your human existence, confusion and fear will control
you as you reach the crossroads in life. This confusion
and fear can sometimes prevent you from moving
forward on the right path. Stop and ask of the Father to
guide you with his love. That love will illuminate your
path and make it a clear passage way for you to move
forth. Be courageous in doing so for the Father’s love
will continue to carry you forward to where you need to
be. Accept this love and know that it is the compass that
will guide you always. As always, our time together is
precious for us all. You are all dear, dear souls and my
love goes with you.
