I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from May 16, 1974:
(Carla channeling)
I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am the one known to you as Hatonn. I and Laitos are here to serve you, and we are with you in the room. Laitos will be giving conditioning to each of you who desires it as we proceed with this message. We are most privileged to be speaking with you this evening.
We would like to give you a thought upon the nature of the spiritual path. Consider for yourself, my friends, the nature of your interior universe. How much of your thinking is involved with striving, attaining, and grasping at things within the physical illusion? What fire consumes you? What greed, or envy, or base desire have you allowed to continue to have power over your thinking? And then, my friends, what portion of your thinking is clear, calm, motionless, humble, unassuming, and content?
I do not need to tell you which portion of your interior universe is more correctly called the spiritual part. The truth of the universe is a very simple truth. Correctly understood and practiced, it eliminates the striving for selfhood within the physical illusion. It eliminates it because it offers a more rewarding reality along the spiritual path. The reason, my friends, that you have not completely become one with the spiritual path is not because you have not been trying. Do not cause yourself anxiety. It is simply, my friends, that the illusion under which you labor is extremely strong upon your planet, and there is a good deal of constant and faithful meditation and discipline to be achieved before the final breakthrough can come, and you may be free of your selfhood within the illusion.
Hatonn wanted to share information about the spiritual path, and they began by saying that we consider for our self the nature of our interior universe, so they asked: “How much of our thinking is involved with striving, attaining, and grasping at things within the physical illusion? What fire consumes us? What greed, or envy, or base desire have we allowed to continue to have power over our thinking? And then what portion of our thinking is clear, calm, motionless, humble, unassuming, and content?” Hatonn went on to say they do not need to tell us which portion of our interior universe is called the spiritual part because the truth of the universe is a simple truth, and when correctly understood and practiced, it eliminates the striving for selfhood within the physical illusion because it offers a more rewarding reality along the spiritual path, so the reason that we have not become one with the spiritual path is not because we have not been trying because it is that the illusion under which we labor is strong upon our planet, and there is a good deal of faithful meditation and discipline to be achieved before the final breakthrough can come, and we may be free of our selfhood within the illusion. On January 16, 2005, Q’uo spoke about the general nature of our spiritual path:
So, we would ask entities who are looking at themselves upon the spiritual path quite simply, “Who are you?” Because this is the essential center of that which draws entities to the path of seeking. They become aware that all of the wisdom that has been acquired since their cradle experiences is not enough to satisfy the craving for identity and meaning. They realize that they are going to have to set off on a journey. It is not a journey in the physical world at all, but it is very definitely a journey, and it very definitely is upon a path that is common to all seekers.
Please realize that on this path you are not gathering as much as allowing things to fall away. The deep and true tones of your identity and your right process come clearly, plangently, sometimes plaintively and sometimes triumphantly, but unmistakably, from time to time there will come a moment—this instrument loves to call them “crystalline moments”—that ping like a bell with a very clear indication of meaning and resonance and in that moment, whatever the realization is, it is easy; it is effortless; and you realize that you have reaped the harvest that has been in process for a long time. You finally hear, and feel, and see the work that you have done, but you never know when that moment will come. Such is the progress of one upon the spiritual path.
Without that selfhood, my friends, without that which upon the part of the planet which you live is termed ego, you may achieve all things, in the name of the Creator. For having no limitation of self, you may give for all men, and to all men. It is a matter of knowing whom you serve, my friends. As you go through your daily existence, therefore, we suggest to you that you contemplate, when it may serve you to do so, that which is called water. Water, my friends, is the humblest and weakest of all substances. It abides in the lowest places. It constantly seeks a level. It is ashamed to go nowhere, but flows where every opportunity takes it. My friends, water may wear away the hardest substances, for it is far stronger in its weakness than rigid substances can ever be. Be like the water, my friends. Upon the spiritual path that you are seeking to follow, seek the nature of water.
Hatonn continued by saying without that selfhood, which upon the part of the planet which we live is termed ego, we may achieve all things in the name of the Creator, for having no limitation of self, we may give to all since it is a matter of knowing whom we serve, so as we go through our daily existence Hatonn suggested to us that we contemplate water, for it is the weakest of all substances, abiding in the lowest places, and it constantly seeks a level, but flows where every opportunity takes it, so water may wear away the hardest substances, for it is far stronger in its weakness than rigid substances can ever be, so we must be like the water, and upon the spiritual path that we are seeking to follow, seek the nature of water. On January 20, 2006, Q’uo spoke about the nature of water:
The cycle that is now ending is marked as ending approximately at the end of the year 2012. It is indeed, among other things, a cycle that is astrological in nature, where there is a shift in the energy that is at the heart or the womb of the space/time continuum, as this instrument would call it. The energy has shifted almost entirely as we now speak.
The departing energy is an energy that has the nature of water, which is the nature of your body and the nature of so much of your planet. It is shifting over to an energy that has to do with air and fire, and these energies are interpenetrating the basic third-density energy, shall we say, of water. This is causing tremendous changes in your planet and in your body systems as that very watery medium, that is the interior of your body, experiences the tremendous interpenetration of the new energies.
I wish to continue this contact but to transfer it to the instrument known as R. We will condition him for a brief period, and then we will attempt to transfer this contact. I will leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. I and my brother Laitos have been most privileged to have been able to serve you this evening. We hope that we have been able to aid you in your seeking. I am aware that there is a question. It will be somewhat difficult to use this instrument to answer this question. Therefore, we would prefer to await another opportunity to use a different instrument for this particular question. Is that satisfactory with the person who desires to know the answer to this question?
Questioner: It’s OK to wait, but could you try to answer the part of it that you can through this instrument, and then I’ll ask it again of another instrument? I want to know whether it is harmful or helpful to use drugs, especially for intellectual purposes.
I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. We will attempt to communicate through this instrument upon this question. The use of any outside or external stimulus has no appreciable effect upon your internal spirit. The center of the problem of which you speak is not the fact that these foreign substances do or do not transfer parts of your vibratory makeup into novel spaces. Various external influences have various effects. By the use of these, the type of awareness that may be achieved through meditation can be achieved. The difficulty, as we have said, lies in the fact that these substances are external, and do not come under the will of you, the individual who is seeking. It may be an acceptable therapeutic measure, to increase one’s faith in the reality of the spiritual path, to experience such a state by means of such an outside stimulus. However, the use of internalizing effects, such as meditation and service, wherein your will makes its own contact with the Creator and the creation, is a far more realistic way of entering upon the spiritual path.
It is important in the extreme that you be living within yourself, at the center…

[Pause]
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn. I apologize for the difficulty. We may continue. We were saying that you may experience the reality of the Father’s creation, it is important that you be able to achieve the awareness of that creation from within your own spirit. The use of outside agents simply puts you in places which you are not ready to comprehend or make use of. True seeking is inner seeking. To be able to give, it is best to refrain from taking. It is far better to achieve an awareness of the creation through meditation than through the use of any external agent. There is not any more harm or acceptability for the use of any drug or material over any other. We have observed simply that they all lie outside the control of your inner self, and are therefore not a part of your spiritual world.
Questioner asked: “I want to know whether it is harmful or helpful to use drugs, especially for intellectual purposes.” Hatonn began by saying they will attempt to communicate through Carla upon this question that the use of any external stimulus has little effect upon our internal spirit, so the center of the problem of which we speak is not that these foreign substances do or do not transfer parts of our vibratory makeup into new spaces since external influences have various effects, and by our use of these the type of awareness that may be achieved through meditation can be achieved, but the difficulty lies in the fact that these substances are external, and do not come under our will as we who are seeking, so it may be an acceptable therapeutic measure to increase our faith in the reality of the spiritual path, but the use of internalizing effects, such as meditation and service wherein our will makes its own contact with the Creator and the creation, is a far more realistic way of entering upon the spiritual path. Hatonn continued by saying that we may experience the reality of the Father’s creation, and it is important that we are able to achieve the awareness of that creation from within our spirit because the use of outside agents puts us in places where we are not ready to make use of, for true seeking is inner seeking, so to be able to give, it is best to refrain from taking, and it is far better to achieve an awareness of the creation through meditation than through the use of any external agent, so there is not any more harm or acceptability for our use of any drug than any other, and Hatonn has observed that they all lie outside the control of our inner self, and are not a part of our spiritual world. On May 30, 1982, Hatonn said that true seeking can be accomplished by our use of meditation:
As you seek and as you desire, my friends, more and more of the illusion will resound with that which beneath the surface may be felt to have a meaning which you may use in your spiritual pilgrimage. It takes courage to come to the end of the intellect and leap forward into a true seeking for the infinite unity of the one original Thought. As you sit in meditation, you are in an extremely appropriate environment in which to seek that Thought. We offer ourselves in any way that we may be of aid in your meditations, and through channels such as this one, and we thank each of you for your desire and the courage with which you pursue it.
We are aware that this instrument is becoming fatigued. She is not used to this much control. Therefore, we would be privileged to speak using another instrument at a later time, if you will ask your question again.
May we answer you further?
Questioner: [No further queries.]
I am Hatonn. I will leave you now, my friends. I am very pleased to be speaking through the new instruments. It is a great pleasure to my brother Laitos and to myself to be working with you and with your group. Blessings upon you. I leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai.
This morning I vacuumed the first floor of my home, and then I ran some errands. My first stop was at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought some Hostas, some Begonias, and a pair of gardening gloves. My next stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some duct tape and Kleenexes. My last stop was at The Home Depot where I bought more netting to put over my flowers.
This afternoon I went outside and transplanted the Dahlias that I bought yesterday into the Sun Mandala behind the garage. Then I transplanted the Begonias that I bought this morning in the area in front of the giant Sycamore tree in my backyard.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 20
Faith And Forgiveness
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.
Faith. Forgiveness. These two words move together in rhythm, creating a more beautiful dance of your life experience. It takes a foolish and unconditional faith to forgive; to forgive the self and to forgive others. But those things which are not forgiven are as burdens carried which may be laid down, stopping all consequences, releasing all personal ties to the difficulties of your life experience.
As you forgive in faith, you act as unconditional Love would have you act. Yet, do not do this too early. But rather, be sure that you have created in yourself a new heart and a new spirit, a new knowledge of faith, that the faith and forgiveness may not come from your will, but through you from the Father.
For only in the Father’s infinite mercy may He forgive iniquity. And you are the channel of that forgiveness, as is everyone who has consciousness and emotion, potentially.
Speak well in the world. Yet always, within, dwell in an humble and Holy Spirit of unconditional Love, having the faith to forgive, and forgive, and forgive again. For those who have forgiven have no further connection with the spiritual difficulties produced by the difficult situations.
Self-forgiven and other-self forgiven, you may move through your day in a dance of joy, doing all that you do for the Love of the Father, finding no chore or task too simple to be blessed. Free yourself, my friends, by faith and forgiveness, into the peace of Jesus the Christ.
In this peace and unconditional Love, we leave you, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation:
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.
