In June of 2005 I kept a daily journal on a speaking trip to Britain and decided to keep the daily entries going on my return. If you would like to keep up with L/L Research and my activities, this is the place to do that. I wish you blessings, light and love! Carla L. Rueckert-McCarty.

Happy September and Happy Homecoming month for L/L Research! We were in the nineties F again, but Mick was a happy man nevertheless. Since this summer comes in as the hottest one in Louisville ever, and the hottest nationwide this year, with an average (counting in the lows as well as the highs) of 89.6, 1 ½ degrees hotter than the 1936 record, it is no wonder Mick feels good at 95! That’s a full ten degrees lower than most days in August!

 

After Morning Offering Mick left for a full day of gardening and mowing. He had a rough day in that he had to stop every twenty minutes and scrape the dust off his fuel filter so that the engine would not run hot. We are in full drought now and hoping for rain tomorrow as a front moves through.

 

I also had a rough day, complete with tummy and back spasms and not much to eat – but what I had was choice! Lobster in drawn butter sauce and homemade Avalon tomato soup with homemade croutons! And for dinner, a pizza to celebrate Romi’s coming over for a visit and some hard work, trying to recapture parts of the vanished computer settings for Mick’s/Pam’s/Sonia’s computer. He was partially successful, restoring the e-mail and QuickBooks. Those are that computer’s basics. The rest we can add when Romi has a long span of time to devote to it, since he will have to re-initialize the hard drive completely from backup. Thank heavens I noticed the computer had not backed itself up for a while, a victim of the wrong timing, as it is usually turned off at midnight, when the auto-backup is presently scheduled, and it cannot back up when it is not turned on.

 

A challenge for a day AFTER Homecoming!

 

In the morning I gave Talk Three and found oodles of good things to add to my outline. The talk on polarity (T3) will be nifty to give. The best thing of all was that I did not have to visit the lav for the whole hour, again! I have ever greater hopes that I will be OK to do these talks, as far as making it through the hour without having to leave for a bathroom break.

 

I still need to finalize Talks One and Two so that Gary can print out the result of my rehearsing before Friday night. Hopefully, I can get that done in the next two work days – although a manicure/pedicure on Thursday and a visit to Images Salon on Friday obtrude. However I always function better when I feel well-groomed and looking my best, so these details, too, are important before I teach.

 

In the afternoon I wrote the Camelot Journal for yesterday and then set off on several rounds of communication with Wynn Free concerning both our work together – he wants to do longer conference calls on Saturday mornings, early afternoons for me, once a month plus a full weekend event via video-cam for my participation – and the pluses and minuses of including one’s previous incarnations when introducing oneself. Wynn feels he was Akhenaton in a previous lifetime, and various other people in his immediate circle of friends were this and that also. I personally feel it is not a good direction to go, to identify oneself with any previous incarnation, especially if it is as a well known historical figure such as the pharaoh who introduced the religion of one god to Egypt. Why is Wynn not worthy and impressive all by himself, I asked him.

 

This exchange went on all day, commanding my utmost focus in order to marshal cogent thought, and when I turned off Jenny Traveller, my computer, at 7:45 p.m., after an eleven-hour day on it continuously, there were three more e-mails from Wynn. He is a talker! Whew! And in his way, he is totally focused. He wore me out.

 

This was evidenced by four allergic attacks, veritable storms of hard sneezing. I only succumb to these when I am bone-tired, which I was – I had not found sleep until 4:44 a.m. this morning, and got only a two-hour nap to fuel my day! I was so very glad to meet Mick for an evening of good TV episodes of our favorite shows, all hour-long crime shows like CSI, NCIS and Criminal Minds, plus Royal Pains and Burn Notice. Praise the Lord for vedge-out TV! We hold hands and share the pleasure of relaxation and many a short nap! Romi joined us for the Gaia Meditation tonight and I offered the closing prayer.

This was a singularly rough day for me, one which enabled me to see the wisdom of not taking the muscle relaxant which I have just begun ingesting daily, in order to give my best and most undistorted effort to share the love/light of the Creator at Homecoming. I believe that above the woes I am having with tummy, bladder and bowels due to taking it, I am also more emotionally expressive. This would “feel” to be a positive thing, but often it is not wise, as opposed to compassionate. I expressed to Gary my devotion to and admiration of my beautiful husband on the occasion of his sacrificing one of his work days’ salary to the service of tidying our campus outside for the ultimate time before Homecoming. However, Gary felt that I was expressing my lack of devotion to and admiration of him. Fortunately for me, he told me so. And tomorrow, I will attempt to heal that misunderstanding to the very best of my ability.

 

It was also a day which totally rocked, in that not only did I get through the giving of Talk Two to the audience of Chloe and Pickwick – not my best audience as they do not like the songs which are part of my offering – but also I got through the whole performance without going to the bathroom!

 

Whee!

 

I feel enormously better about my chances of getting through my offerings at Homecoming without having to visit the restroom! Oh my, did THAT help me out! Perhaps by the time official Homecoming begins on Friday evening I will have truly lost all fear of failure, so-called!

 

I am sure everyone there will be rooting for me. But how difficult to separate the egoic shell out and yield to the truer self within, which knows nothing but love, faith and trust in the help from above.

 

In the afternoon I was at the disposal of Melissa and Sonia, who together are cleaning the Camelot campus big-time – NOT Avalon, Melissa insists we understand, for she can do one or the other campus now and we all agree the Camelot campus is due for spring cleaning.

 

And it has gotten it. I sorted and categorized a lot of shelf contents in the office today; emptying some needed space there by putting things where they rightly belong – in the archives or my office, mostly. Melissa said she judged whether something was needed in the downstairs office by the amount of dust on it!

 

It may have been a silly decision on my part, to use the time for cleaning house rather than practicing my Talks, but I do not think so. Melissa’s concerns are mine, and she drove Sonia and me to new heights of housewifeliness today! And so I could do no less than follow her inspiration!

 

Gary was all over the place, now buying the provender for Homecoming lunches and the opening dinner, which we always try to have fresh and homemade for our attendees, and then at the helm of the L/L Research Inbox and also helping Melissa sort and put away many things. We had a fine time with it all and called it a splendid day!

 

However I was very glad to relax into Mick’s and my quiet and restorative evening! I offered the closing prayer at the Gaia meditation tonight.

My “bad luck day” extended into today, a Monday which for me was most singularly unfortunate. After Morning Offering I experienced an entire day which contained only the writing of the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday. After spending most of a morning writing the FIRST version of the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday, then rewriting it after spending the next little while asleep, I did an RBM (Rueckert Bonehead Mistake) and erased all but two words of the Journal entry.

 

And no way could I find it again.

 

So after lunch I again wrote and rewrote my entry for yesterday and as the working day ended, I managed to record it safely in the Camelot Journal on B4. Whew! And here I had intended to rehearse Talk Two, on Unity, Free Will, Love and Light. Not a chance of that!

 

I was grateful when Mick came home of his own Free Will and took his bath, thereby causing me to move into Unity with the Love of my Mick! This was the Light of my day, for sure!

 

Fortunately, Mick had a wonderful day out there – it was 96 F, very warm, but fairly low-humidity in nature, and he enjoyed himself tremendously, getting all his mowing work done, plus lots of watering for St. Luke’s, a customer’s and our own Camelot’s. He topped his work for the day by transplanting six big bushes for a customer.

 

My tummy was once again in agony all day, but Mick massaged it at length and I recovered sufficiently to have a very good interview with Wynn, talking about the First Contact of a positive nature about which Don asked during his sessions with those of Ra. This First Contact conversation took place while Eisenhower was president of the United States.

 

Ra replied that this indeed did happen, but Eisenhower felt that our populace was unable to deal with First Contact without lots of fear, so Ra and Eisenhower agreed to go their separate ways without any awareness of the event being shared with the American public, and instead to share the ET contact gradually.

 

With their usual dry humor, Ra noted that events had “overtaken this plan” (Fragment of Session 24, recorded in our Book Five of The Law of One)

 

The entire rest of the interview hour was devoted – according to Wynn’s prompting –to the desire of positively oriented angelic and ET contact to preserve free will amongst Earth people. Teri, who was also included in the interview, is a channel of angels, the Elohim to be exact, and I am a channel of Planets, which nicely fits into Ra’s description of its “Confederation of Angels and Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator” of which they are a part. And both Teri’s and my channeling maintains the preservation of free will amongst Earth’s peoples as absolutely paramount.

 

So we encouraged everyone who listened to the interview to value their own discernment above all else, and to await the synchronicities that accompany spiritual truth’s being offered by spirit. Only with those feedbacks of synchronicity could one credit one’s own seeking of truth as correct for them, we said.

 

Wynn called back after the show very, very happy with the way it had turned out. And I was grateful for that! Wynn and I talked a bit more concerning the possibility of collaborating on a longer, more sustained event together in the future before I explained that Mick and I had made a date together earlier for romance tonight, so Wynn yielded the time to Mick, thank goodness! And he and I did have a lovely date which crowned our evening most beautifully!

 

Mick offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight.

Usually, Sundays are Mick’s and my safe havens, times to heal up from the week behind and prepare for the week ahead and rest in the moment. This was not the case today! Mick awakened feeling off-balance from troubling dreams. Then he tried to access his e-mail and found that it had disappeared. I tried in vain to fix it and called Romi, who had driven out of town to work at his job, teaching for the next two days in Bowling Green, Kentucky, about four hours south of here by car. Romi tried to guide me through restoring it by telephone but was unable to do so.

 

I had the same kind of experience today, dashing to the bathroom this morning only to find that I was far too late! Not only did I need to change my diaper, but I also had to take an immediate shower in order to clean myself up. Mick helped me by spraying my clothes with stain remover and drying me off after I washed, but the experience was disconcerting to me. This was the first meltdown of that type I have had in months, and it would have led me to fear for Homecoming’s requirements of me had I not known that any problems like this which I encounter during my teaching then will be forgiven by the attendees without a second thought!

 

After Morning Offering I spent my morning on the Sunday puzzles while Mick read the paper. Then we switched to tasks, Mick doing chores and errands while I wrote the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday and cleared my e-mail.

 

Rick, whose Maine Report usually stays solidly on the surface of things, wrote much more deeply this morning, so I took the time to move into deeper waters and respond to him in kind.

 

Janet wrote to tell me that our plans for doing the lessons for the International Metaphysical University course which I agreed to do after the first of the year had met with approval by the staff, especially Deborah, who now looks forward to coming to Louisville and helping me record the eleven lessons I can do ahead of time in January. There are twelve lessons in each course, but I reserve the last lesson for the questions which the students ask by e-mail after they view my first eleven classes. I trust that after doing the first eleven classes with Deborah, I will know how to do the twelfth one by myself.

 

This is fine news, and I look forward to meeting Deborah. I met Janet twenty years ago when she visited Camelot with Romi in 1992, but Deborah is new to me, and I can’t wait to meet this kind woman who has volunteered to help me learn things I never knew before, like how to record with a video camera and how to send the results to the University for their use.

 

Wynn Free, with whom I am scheduled to do an interview tomorrow, wrote to tell me that he did not think it a good idea for me to sing a song on the air tomorrow as I had planned. He has advertised on www.stardoves.com, which has a readership of 100,000 New Age fans, for the event, and feels we will need to spend more time than usual introducing ourselves. Also, he feels that BBS does not have the equipment to make singing sound good over the air. I am disappointed! Singing that song to introduce what I want to say about first contact – our topic for the day – would lead off what I want to say on the subject so well! Rats!

 

Mick and I enjoyed lunch and a nap, and then viewed Me and Orson Welles, a slight but very amusing movie about Orson Welles’ early work with the Mercury Theater. It stars Zac Efron as the teenager whom Orson hires to play the part of Lucius in an adaptation of Julius Caesar on Broadway, along with Claire Danes as the woman most of the rest of the cast yearns to date and Christian McKay as Orson. The stars did a great job and the ensemble was right behind them, excellent in every way. I especially enjoyed Ben Chaplin’s and Norman Lloyd’s work.

 

The screenplay was stylish in a way that is reminiscent of the early “talkies”, in an era when sound was considered new and the screen was filled with rapid-fire dialogue and stylish, witty patter. Stylish also was the music. The background was filled with the wonderful songs of the big-band era, the great charts of Glenn Miller and other band leaders of the time and the clever lyrics made famous by Ella Fitzgerald and her like. It brought back the sweet days of my childhood. My dad was a jazz drummer who gave up his dreams of traveling with big bands in order to make a living and offer a home to my brothers and me, and I loved those old songs very much.

 

So the movie was lots of fun and I recommend it. But do not look for Meaning! Just enjoy it for what it is, a set piece of a certain time and place – 1937, Broadway and all that this evokes. And get ready to laugh and enjoy yourself.

 

The rest of the day was gentle and quiet. I offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation and when Mick and I came to our last prayers, I had to take a minute to find the place inside myself where I really meant what I said – what we always say then. Before we say the Lord’s Prayer together, I say, ”Thank you, Lord, for all the many blessings of this day.” Mick always responds, “And guide us to the morning light,” and I then say, “Let us pray,” and we say the prayer together. Tonight, we meant it with all our hearts. Challenges, too, are blessings in their way. And today it gave us the chance to be there for each other.

It was hot again today, Mick told me in the afternoon after he’d been out manicuring Camelot’s planting’s for the Homecoming next weekend. We can only hope the fall cool-down takes hold in the next week. It was 96 F today!

 

After Morning Offering I wrote the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday, and then cleared my e-mail. Janet D wrote me concerning the teaching job for which I have contracted with the International Metaphysical University . She wanted to know when I planned to do that work, and I told her after the New Year. Mick and I have already planned to work together on the notes for the sessions on our trip to see Mom McCarty this December. She has offered to have Deborah come to Louisville and help me record the sessions, and we set February as the general target date for that work.

 

Morris sent me an exceptionally touching film about the Earth Fire Institute’s work in healing a feral wolf. The link is http://www.dogwork.com/healing2/. It is about two minutes long and very sweet. I sent it on to several personal friends and now to you!

 

I want to sing a folksong next Monday night for Wynn’s show, since he wants to talk about First Contact and this song, “Notaman Town”, is a perfect lead-in. I wrote Wynn to ask him to have Seth, the show’s producer, watch the gain when I sang it. He replied that it would not come out well if I just sang it into my telephone. He suggested I record it here and send them the recording tomorrow. Gary may know how to do that – I will ask him tomorrow!

 

I also prepared a worksheet with the words to that song plus the fragment in which Don asked the Ra group about first contact. Now I am ready for Monday’s interview.

 

The day went quickly, and Mick and I enjoyed our evening together. He offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation.

It was a lovely Friday, the last of our “cool days” for a while, only 86 F outside. After Morning Offering Mick and Gary sailed off with mowers and blowers and all manner of other tools for beautifying the neighborhood and did a full day’s work, perhaps for the last time until the leaves fall, unless we get some rain. Without rain, the grass stops growing and Mick has to skip weeks. But he says he has lots of chores saved up to do for his customers, so he’s not out of work yet!

 

I wrote the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday and cleared my e-mail in the morning. Walker and Kays, Mick’s and my favorite light jazz duo here in Louisville, e-mailed to ask me to vote for them in the annual LEO contest, so I took some time – you have to vote in at least ten categories or your vote is null – to do just that – they are eminently worthy.

 

We got a prayer request from an Indian seeker which I will pass on to you who read this – Pakistan and India. She wrote,

 

“I believe that our prayers may soften the spirit in the flood waters to bate the rage. I also request that if possible, India too be included in the prayers, for if floods break out in my country, millions will suffer deplorably. This may seem to be a strange prayer request; but the spirit of service that the LOO urges demands nothing less of me.

”I praise the One infinite Creator and all the powers of light on the right hand path, and I invoke their help in order to help the people of this planet as severe earth changes start to manifest. The transformation is here.”

 

I also wrote Gary’s dad asking him to consider having his next operation on his back in Louisville, using the doctors who worked on me, and staying here. He has had terribly lax care where he is now, and I feel for him.

 

The rest of my e-correspondence was with personal friends, Mish, Rick in Maine, Talitha, Elihu and Helmut, just offering sympathy or encouragement or simply love. I also took the time to write a much deserved thank you letter to the gentleman who donated flashlights for the people who will voyage up to Avalon during Homecoming – of infinite worth to those leaving the bonfire to use the outhouse.

 

I wrote snail-mail to Tiffani, thanking her for donating my headset mike and offering to make the salad for Homecoming, and to Romi, thanking him for donating the digital recorder we will use from now on. And I wrote to Aubine in Bellegarde, France, to thank her for sending me beautiful photos of the Seine and her place there in Bellegarde en Foret.

 

Romi came at noon and ferried me off to The Sea Hag for lunch, and we dined royally! While he brought me up to date on his doings, we had sandwiches, lovely tomato bisque and onion rings what AM onion rings, great big rounds of onion nicely fried and very tasty in a dipping sauce of sweet mustard.

 

Romi is finally heart-whole after a solid year of grieving for a lost love. He is taking out a Little Brother on Saturdays now and we talked about how to maintain discipline. And he is working on his house, which he has had for a year now. He’s a happy man, and it’s good to feel that again. He’s been struggling for a while with his big heart and his loss of the girl of his dreams.

 

In the afternoon I worked on my speeches and read in Rob Hand’s article, which is in our hand-out folder for Homecoming. I thought it would be good if I were able to answer questions about our materials, so I’ll need to finish that and also to read the material from John Major Jenkins. We love Jenkins, here at L/L Research, having worked with him on several Time of Global Shift gatherings. He told us he greatly respects our work, and we reciprocate!

 

And when I could not focus for discomfort, I collected recipes saved from the newspaper while I was recovering last spring and early summer. Today I collected Asparagus with Dill Aioli, Spinach Lasagna and Carrot and Apple Slaw. Yum!

 

This was another dicey day for the interstitial cystitis and me. I was in the bathroom every half hour all day, and very uncomfortable. I feared that the distress would mar Jim’s and my date, but happily, it did not. The date was the crown of our evening, after the Gaia Meditation. It was wonderful! And Mick danced for me! Oh, how I love that!

This delightful weather continues, with another 86 F day, which made Mick ecstatic this morning as he and his doughty mowers set out to beautify his customers’ lawns and gardens. He is having to water now, because the one thing the Creator has overlooked is our current need for rain. The weather’s perfect for cutting lawns, but the grass and other living things get very thirsty very fast in this heat. He had a good day, although he lost a bracelet, his second loss of recent days. The branches under which he goes on his ride-on mowers steal them mischievously! So one of my projects today was to order him two new copper cuffs. They help his arthritis tremendously.

 

I began my work day by writing the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday. I cleared my e-mail, responding to Janet D’s request that I download Skype. I did try that, although I am not altogether sure that I succeeded!

 

Then I finished the work on removing highlights from my speaker notes and replacing those markings with colored fonts to indicate points to cover, music and favorite quotes. I sent the three talks to Gary so that he could print those out for me, which he did. The result is most satisfactory. I am now all set to practice my talks and singing.

 

Melissa was on hand today to take me to visit the surgeons who performed my spinal-fusion operation last March. I shared my difficulties with continuing pain, and Dr. Harpring’s assistant responded with some help – a muscle-relaxant prescription and the beginnings of the paperwork needed to have Medicare get me a TENS unit to help with back pain. Dr. Campbell’s part was to change my pain medication to a new pill- Tylenol 300. I hope it all helps to ease the way!

 

Melissa spent the rest of her day on paperwork, something she was very much hoping to do. She also, with various people’s help, got the farm truck to Wildt Brothers for repairs and back again, all fixed again for now! It was a good day for her, although, as she said, much is still left on her to-do list. That is the fate of us all, I think!

 

Gary manned the L/L Research helm today, getting ever closer to being all ready for Homecoming. The time draws near! And we heard from Tiffani that she will come early in the day on Friday and take over the creation of our Homecoming Salad Extraordinaire! Thank you, Tiffani!

 

Sonia will fix several kinds of Homecoming Lasagna for the different varieties of eaters among the attendees – omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. We have some of each persuasion attending this year.

 

After Mick had his bath, he and I enjoyed a very sleepy evening, interspersed with good conversations. As we get older, we love our naps more and more! It is wonderful to be able to indulge in them together after a good day’s work.

 

Mick offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight.

This was a most pleasant day, only 86 F outside, so Mick could work without too much fear of heat stroke, a nice change! After Morning Offering I wrote the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday and cleared my e-mail, then got on to the real job of the day, which was changing my notes for the three Homecoming talks from highlighting to colored fonts. It took all the day, and I did not finish the third talk’s work as I ran out of time, but tomorrow will see it done.

 

I was challenged again today by a most insistent and unhappy bladder. It could be the pain pills I am using, so tomorrow, I will switch them out and see if I improve.

 

Melissa called to say the farm truck was again staggering and needing repairs, so she will bring it tomorrow and hope to get it repaired at Wildt Brothers. Mick likes their work too.

 

I offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight.

What a glorious day! Finally our weather is behaving tamely, and it was only 86 non-humid degrees outside! There is new hope that our Homecoming weather will be really lovely! After Morning Offering Mick went to work with a will and made Anchorage’s lawns and gardens look their best all day in the sweet sunshine.

 

I began with writing the Camelot Journal entry for yesterday and clearing my e-mail. Melissa was hoping to make Avalon Farm tomato soup with her harvest, so she and I chose her favorite recipe from the bunch in my database and printed that out.

 

Steve E and I corresponded further over my upcoming interview with Wynn Free on BBS Radio.com next Monday night. He will create an announcement for B4’s news items on our home page. This is good, since Wynn talks with me once a month, regularly. Please do tune in at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time. Wynn’s a character indeed, and has the uncanny knack for going deep with a subject, or letting me do so, with a minimum of fuss.

 

I fielded a query for Lorena L from a prisoner who is in touch with her. She is our prison correspondent volunteer and the editor of LOOP (Law of One – Prisoners) Newsletter, our periodical for the incarcerated among our seekers. There are plenty of them, and she does a wonderful job.

 

Anne R, our editor for The Aaron/Q’uo Dialogues, sent Ba and me an image of the cover art they plan to use, and I signed off on it. So did the inimitable Ms Brodsky! It is a pretty cover, in blues mostly, with some cosmos and some nature in it, and two “planets” suggested to represent Aaron and Q’uo.

 

Then I got back to choosing music for the third talk at Homecoming. A delightful synchronicity happened – I Googled “Dazzling Light”, a lovely chant I once learned from the Ram Dass multi-record set that accompanied Be Here Now back in the ‘60s. I had forgotten some of the words but wanted to sing it during the third talk. Google did not know the tune. Lo and behold, my hymnal then opened to the back cover, and inside I had written those words, who knows how long ago! It was my present to myself. And thank God for it!

 

By day’s end I had finished with the work, and sent it to Gary to print out. After he did so, I could see I have another day’s work ahead of me! I had not realized how dark the colors were that I was using to indicate songs, text and quotes, and all my careful selections were illegible. Well, Crikey! I shall have to painstakingly go through these pages again and de-select highlights in order to select font colors. Hopefully it will not take more than a day.

 

However I am well satisfied with how my outlines came out. It’s a wonderful feeling to have the material well in hand ahead of time, and be able to rehearse a bit, and get myself “off the page”.

 

The house was humming as Melissa and Sonia continued to prepare for Homecoming. Today they tackled the basement, readying the three bedrooms there, and cleaning back behind all the worst dust-catchers in the house – the furnace and hot water heater, the closet shelves, the window sills and so forth. Melissa made a little sitting space for those waiting to use the bathroom down there, which is so hospitable of her. What a nice idea! And she prepared a smoking area well away from the rest of the property, by the wild area next to our little lane, which will be welcomed by the addicts among us when all get together.

 

In late afternoon they knocked off of the housework and made a pot of delicious tomato soup – yum! There is nothing as good as fresh, homegrown tomatoes. They have far more taste than the grocery variety. Avalon Farm Forever!

 

Gary also was busy as a bee today, running errands as he checks his to-do list for Homecoming preparation. He also manned the in-box for L/L Research, fielding people’s choices for picnic boxes, for the supper and bonfire we will have up on Avalon on Saturday night.

 

Mick and I enjoyed a very loving and quiet evening, conversing and watching old episodes of Covert Affairs. He offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight.

This is the first day where the high was under 90 F for a very long time, probably well over a month! It was 89, not much of an improvement, but we detect a trend! Here’s hoping for much milder weather by Homecoming!

 

After Morning Offering Mick loaded up his mowers and other tools and set out for a full day of gardening and mowing. The nature spirits welcomed him with open arms, and he had a fine day, he said.

 

I had a challenge today, as the interstitial cystitis symptoms flared up all the day, and I was in the bathroom every twenty minutes or so, which was distracting. But I soldiered on, writing the Camelot Journal for yesterday and clearing my e-mail of personal forwards and such.

 

An old college friend, Helmut Z, asked me to put him in touch with Morris H, a beloved friend of ours, and our Vice-President here at L/L Research. Morris had a UFO experience when he was a young boy which set him upon the path to a life of spiritual seeking, and Helmut wants to ask him about that experience. Don and I have written his case up in our 1976 book, Secrets of the UFO, still available from our B4 store. It is a venerable book but because of Don’s brilliance, it is still excellent and very current with the times.

 

In the afternoon I spoke at length with Renee Martine, a volunteer who has already helped us get into the social networking world of Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube and Facebook. What a wonderful talk we had! She will attend Homecoming, bringing her cameras and other tools and filming throughout the weekend so that she can prepare more L/L Research videos for display on these various sites.

 

We also talked about my blogging by video or audio instead of merely in text. She will talk to Steve E, B4’s fine webmaster, about adding that video feature to B4. And she will send Gary information on how to do this. Gary and I talked later in the day, and we agreed that we would wait until we cleared Homecoming before beginning the video blogging. This is simply to avoid overload for both of us, since the time to Homecoming is now short – it is eleven days away. We’ll gather our feet under us for the new blogging skill when the guests have departed.

 

Renee asked me if I was ready to get “out there”. I said, “Yes!” To my mind, this is THE time to spread the words of love and light that the Confederation entities have brought to our ears and hearts. Certainly such words are always relevant and germane, but from now until the winter solstice of 2012 is an especially prime time for people to hear about choosing to live in love – and to graduate from Earth’s third density.

 

Renee says that when she talks about volunteering for us, her professional friends all want to help too, so she will be bringing at least one other cameraman and lots of loaned equipment. The exciting thing about this is that she will follow through and put us out there! We have had other people who filmed us whose intentions were entirely the best, but whose film remains in the can, becoming more obsolete by the month! Some of it may now be irretrievable already. But Renee is inspired! And she will follow through with creating the videos, of that I am quite sure. Praise the Lord!

 

I spent the rest of the afternoon working on Talk Three, adding music and focusing on the message I hope to offer. Anther day of work should see the talks all finished, as far as the paperwork goes. Then, praise heaven, I will be able to practice the talks without worrying about my tummy, because the upset of the last weeks was due to medicine disagreeing with me. Whee! Each blessing seems large when it comes, doesn’t it!

 

Mick and I retired from the lists for the day and enjoyed a most delightful evening. Mick offered the closing prayer at the Gaia Meditation. Then I was supposed to be on BBS radio talking to Wynn, but was in the bathroom when he called and did not catch the call. So we missed each other for tonight. We talked later, and Wynn will interview me next week instead.

 

Mick and I crowned the evening with an energy exchange, and he said the most beautiful little prayer beforehand. It went, “Dear Creator, thank you! Let this energy exchange be an offering of thanks for our love of life and our life of love!”

 

And then we had the best time!
