I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from May 8, 1974:
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am most pleased to be speaking with you again today. My friends, I wish to greet each of you and to give you our comfort, insofar as we may do this. We are aware that there are continuing questions upon your minds, and that there are questions that you would like to ask. We will attempt to answer some of these.
First, we would like to speak of the technique for dealing with the physical illusion, which is called meditation. We have spoken of this many times, and yet there is always another facet…
[A telephone call interrupts the session.]
(Carla channeling)
As I was saying, there is always another facet to be explored which sheds light, in a new way, upon a clouded area of your seeking. Meditation, my friends, is a much more basic, and much more general technique than you may think. It is not part of a daily life, my friends. It is the beginning of a completely new life. It is a replacement. The two types of life, that is, that not in meditation and that in meditation, are two completely different vibrations. The reason for this is that, one, the normal physical existence dwells and deals completely within the illusion. The meditation is an attempt to contact your original identity, the Consciousness of the All. This Consciousness is a much different reality, a transcendent reality to that of the illusion. We might even call it the reality were it not for the fact that we know that there are transcendent states to any reality until such time as we are truly aware of unity with all that there is. This is a higher state than we have yet achieved, and we, too, are seeking towards it.
My friends, to dwell in the higher reality is an experience transcendent to your illusion. It sheds its own Light upon your life as you return to the illusion. It is necessary, when dealing with the illusion, to refrain from attempting to discern your own desires within the illusion. It is important to take questions into meditation, for there is a purpose to your life which is not to be discerned within the illusion, but only while you are in contact with your true reality within the All. Turn towards your true consciousness in meditation. When there are pressures, doubts, and difficulties, turn to meditation. When there continue to be these, continue to turn to meditation. There will come, in time, a simple awareness of what is required and there will be, at that time, the ability and the tools with which to do it.
The question for this session was: “How to deal with the illusion by using meditation.” Q’uo began by saying there is always another facet to be explored which sheds light, in a new way, upon a clouded area of our seeking, and meditation is a more basic technique than we may think, but it is not part of our daily life, because it is the beginning of a new life, so the two types of life, that is, that not in meditation and that in meditation, are two completely different vibrations, and the reason for this is that our normal physical existence deals completely within the illusion, and meditation is an attempt to contact our original identity, the Consciousness of the All, so this Consciousness is a transcendent reality compared to that of the illusion, and Hatonn would call it the reality were it not for the fact that they know that there are transcendent states to any reality until such time as they are truly aware of unity with all that there is, and this is a higher state than they have yet achieved, and they are also seeking it. Hatonn went on to say to dwell in the higher reality is an experience transcendent to our illusion, and it sheds its own Light upon our life as we return to the illusion, so it is necessary, when dealing with the illusion, to refrain from attempting to discern our own desires within the illusion, and it is important to take questions into meditation, for there is a purpose to our life which is not to be discerned within the illusion, but only while we are in contact with our true reality within the All, so we must turn towards our true consciousness in meditation, and when there are doubts and difficulties, turn to meditation, so in time there will come an awareness of what is required, and at that time there will be the ability and the tools with which to do it. On February 13, 1983, Hatonn described the nature of meditation:
But we ask you instead, my friends, to think of meditation as a process, as the trip up that mountain. You are in your street-soiled clothing, and it is warm day, and the valley below you has the stench of too much civilization. As you climb, the smog recedes, and the warm, clean air begins to glow about you. A white butterfly dances before you. And you laugh at the sweet-smelling air, and the butterfly, and the fine day that you have found in the high place.
After much climbing, when you are weary, you come to a perfectly smooth lake. It is so pellucid that you can see to the very, very bottom. You remove your clothing, and swim across this lovely, quietly melting lake. And as you walk up the other shore of this tarn, you find that there are new garments waiting for you to pick—garments fresh, sweet smelling as the day, comfortable and pleasant in every way. All that is without you is now cleansed and ready, and you walk to the mossy, natural seat that overlooks vast distances. And you settle yourself, and you allow all things to flow away, for you have been washed clean and that which is before you is new.
You do not need to ever come out of that meditation. The more you practice the experience of meditation, the more the process will be a portion of you. Then that process itself begins to give you the will to call upon the state of mind in which the kingdom of heaven and the Creator are near, or indeed are all about you. Those things which are full of the stench of complication, semantics, and civilization may be seen as from that viewpoint. You may choose that viewpoint any moment. You may behave in the light of your relationship with the Creator, rather than your relationship within an illusion to the Creator, as that portion of the Creator is experiencing Itself. Choose. And each time that you do, know that it is your choice, and that when we speak to you of meditation, boring though that subject may seem, we wish only to give you the basic tool for renewal of the sense of the original Thought that each of you seeks with such determination.
The Creator, and that part of the Creator which is you in your true form, have provided you with each day, and each need is taken care of along the path which you are intending to go. Trust to this and seek to know the Creator through meditation, my friends. My friends, we are also aware that there is a [inaudible] which helps, in general, but not specifically so. We find it difficult to communicate helpful knowledge at this time. However, we will say this: the key to a knowledge of the path ahead is a knowledge of yourself. It has been said by your Holy Book that not all those who are called are saviors. My friends, this we have found within the mind of this instrument, but we have not found this understood correctly. In truth, my friends, each of those called is chosen. The call that is felt is a true one. But, my friends, you, yourself will choose your service, not simply in your state before birth when you are aware of the true reality of what you desire, and within this illusion you must become aware and look within, and then you must chose. You must know yourself, and then you will see the choice is to seek, and you have already done this.
After that choice, my friends, it is always clear, very soon, that your way is a way of service, and then your choice becomes cloudy, for it is very difficult to know what your service is. And yet, my friends, do not fear, for you will be of service if you so desire. You have been called, and it is up to you to choose each step how you will be of service. Each of you, my friends, has his own talents and his own way of being of service. These ways are many, as many as there are people. It is not [inaudible] the physical illusion…
Hatonn continued by saying the Creator, and that part of the Creator which we are in our true form, have provided us with each day, and each need is taken care of along the path which we are intending to go, so we must trust to this and seek to know the Creator through meditation, and Hatonn said they are also aware that there is a [inaudible] which helps, in general, but not specifically so, and they find it difficult to communicate helpful knowledge at this time, but they will say this: the key to a knowledge of the path ahead is a knowledge of our self, and it has been said by our Holy Book that not all those who are called are saviors, and they have found this within the mind of Carla, but they have not found this understood correctly, so in truth each of those called is chosen, and the call that is felt is a true one, but in our state we will choose our service, not simply in our state before birth when we are aware of the true reality of what we desire, but within this illusion we must become aware by looking within, and then we must choose, and we must know our self, and then we will see the choice is to seek, and we have already done this. Now Q’uo said after that choice it is always clear that our way is a way of service, and then our choice becomes cloudy, for it is very difficult to know what our service is, but we must not fear, for we will be of service if we so desire since we have been called, and it is up to us to choose each step how we will be of service, for each of us has our own talents and our own way of being of service, and these ways are as many as there are people. It is not [inaudible] the physical illusion… On September 5, 2005, Q’uo described how each of us has been called into change and transformation:
Again and again, you have been called forth from contentment into discontent, from sameness into change, from stability into the seeming chaos of transformation. This is such a transformational time for you as well as for this instrument. We would ask simply that you approach the changes that this time in your life calls forth from you with a stubborn and fearless faith that all is well, and that these transformational changes are not to your detriment although the world may see them that way. We ask you to have the faith to know beyond all telling and beyond all doubting that what is happening to you is perfect. It is precisely what should be happening at this point in this incarnation.
[Tape ends.]
This morning, I copied a chapter of a book that my friend had written and then sent to me. He asked me if I could send the copy back to him because he had lost his copy. Then I went to the Post Office in Middletown and mailed the chapter to him via Priority Mail. Then on the way home I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself.
This afternoon I used my trimmer to trim the weeds out of the front yard, and then I trimmed all of the weeds off of the brick walks in the back yard.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 17
Offer The Self In Sacrifice
I am the spirit of the living Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
Jesus the Christ taught the disciples to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” The Creator has chosen that all things may be fed, upon all levels, by the breaking, sacrificing and blessing of substance.
You know already of physical food, and you know of the food that emotion requires, food that is given from one soul to another of anger or of peace. Yet this act of giving of emotional and spiritual food is often not graced with a prayerful attitude or the sacrificial breaking of the self in order to open up those few words of humanity to the infinite riches of the words and feelings of the Spirit of Love.
In pride the manna of the Love of God cannot be shared. Therefore, may each seeking soul offer itself in sacrifice, opening the Spirit, breaking the loaves and fishes and blessing them, that there may be abundance of Love and peace and all that may be necessary for the beloved creations of the Father.
May you feel that peace and that joy this day and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
