I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from November 30, 1975:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am the one known as Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator, the Creator of us all. It is, as always, my privilege to be with you, especially at this time, for we speak to those at a special time. We do not wish to make occasions where there are no occasions. Yet we say to you this is, within each of your experiences, a time of dedication. You may call it a rededication. Yet within this small group, my friends, there is a dedication that is not always found. Therefore, we say, “Greetings” in a special sense, from those of us who are privileged to be with you at this time. My brothers, you have heard many of our words, and it is as though we appear to you as tailors, measuring and cutting, and detailing and analyzing, and attempting to tailor for you the spiritual path, using our tools and laying it all together in a measured way. And this, of course, is because we have used these channels, and we have used words. In reality, we are not tailors, and there is no measure. In reality, our message is infinite, and there is no set pattern for progress. And that which we truly have to give you lies within the silence. We find that each of you is aware of this, and yet the words are comforting, and so we are very happy to speak with you.

You must know that in many ways, you are no longer dependent upon these words, for you carry within you the ability to receive thoughts. Each of you does not need the channel any longer. Yet, what one needs for survival and what one needs to be at his peak are two different things. And that is why it is a very, very good thing that you are still meeting to hear us, as well as to meditate. There is within each of you that which desires always to let go for a moment and simply be taught, be led. This is proper. And so, we welcome the opportunity to speak. Tonight, we would like to give you a few thoughts on the nature of innocence. We want you to think of your own nature, and of what you consider to be your sins, your errors, your mistakes. You who try, sometimes very hard, to be upon the spiritual path, often are very hard upon yourselves because you have erred, made a mistake. You have manifested that which was not positive. And you say, “Why have I done this? Why did I make this error? I did not mean that! Why did I do it?” And you concentrate on the error. And this does not seem to prevent you from making an error the next time.

The theme for this session was that this is a special time of dedication and innocence, so Hatonn began by saying it is their privilege to be with us, especially at this time, for they speak to us at a special time, and they do not wish to make occasions where there are no occasions, yet they said this is a time of dedication, and within this group there is a dedication that is not always found, so they said “Greetings” in a special sense, and they are privileged to be with us at this time, for we have heard many of their words, and it is as though they appear to us as tailors attempting to tailor for us the spiritual path, using their tools and laying it all together in a measured way because they have used these channels and these words, but in reality they are not tailors, and there is no measure, for their message is infinite, and there is no set pattern for progress, and that which they have to give us lies within the silence, and each of us is aware of this, and yet the words are comforting, so they are very happy to speak with us. Hatonn continued by saying we must know that in many ways, we are no longer dependent upon these words, for we carry within us the ability to receive thoughts, so each of us does not need the channel any longer because what we need for survival, and what we need to be at our peak are two different things, and that is why it is a good thing that we are still meeting to hear as well as to meditate because there is within each of us that which desires to let go for a moment and be led, for this is proper, and they welcome the opportunity to speak, so tonight they would like to give us a few thoughts on the nature of innocence, and they want us to think of our nature, and of what we consider to be our mistakes since we who try very hard to be upon the spiritual path, often are very hard upon our selves because we have erred, and we have manifested that which was not positive, and we say: “Why have I done this? Why did I make this error? I did not mean that! Why did I do it?” And we concentrate on the error, but this does not prevent us from making an error the next time. On April 8, 2007, Q’uo described what we may find within the silence:

It is an exciting time, and it is an important time for entities—that beginning, that waking up! And it is to be encouraged. Then there is a longer period in which, as you say, there are fewer and fewer questions, but you continue having questions, and it almost seems as though you finish one layer of questions only to find a deeper layer of questions.

And then, my brother, finally, as one continues to seek, one reaches a level where there is a great appreciation for the information that is within the silence, and the tendency is to be hungry not so much for words, which are the creation of humankind, but for the concepts that are full of the mystery of the one Creator, that can be communicated from heart to heart rather than from mind to mind.

My friends, we have said to you many times, “We greet you in love and in light.” We greet you in infinite perfection. We greet perfect beings who are totally innocent. We would like to suggest to you that instead of concentrating upon your mistakes, you ask yourself how much time you have spent this day investigating that portion of your unique person which is totally perfect. How much awareness have you had this day of the Love and the Light of the Creator you have within you? How aware have you been of your own innocence? When you concentrate upon your mistakes, you dwell within the world of mistakes. And mistakes will occur again and again. If your consciousness is dwelling at a higher resonance within the realm where you know that you are a creation of the Creator, you know that you can manifest the Creator’s Love. Then the opportunity for you to make a mistake and manifest that which is not Love will be that much farther from you. Meditation is not upon your mistakes; it is not upon the past. It is upon the eternal present, and upon your innocence. You are a child of Love.

We emphasize this at this time because you are attempting to dedicate yourself in a far deeper way than you have previously attempted to do. And the key to the deeper dedication is to be able to focus yourself not upon the world of mistakes, but upon the world in which that spirit within you, which is the Creator, which you may find it desirable to call the Christ Spirit within you, will manifest. My friends, it is written in your holy works that you do not know when this Spirit will come. It may come in the morning. Or It may come in the evening. Or It may come at midnight. And if your lamp is lit, all will be well. And if it is not lit, you will miss the Spirit. To dwell in the state of awareness that you are watching for the One Who Is All, and this is the source of the inspiration that will affect the kind of service that you wish to give, the kind of life that you wish to dedicate yourself to. You cannot analyze your own motives, your own acts, or other people’s motives and acts. They will tangle you all up, my friends. Only dedicate yourself, not just now, but in all the nows, to the Creator. Watch and wait, for you do not know when the Creator will come.

Now Hatonn said they have said to us many times, “We greet you in love and in light,” and they greet perfect beings who are totally innocent, and they suggest that instead of concentrating upon our mistakes, we ask our self how much time we have spent this day investigating that portion of our unique being which is totally perfect, and: “How much awareness have we had this day of the Love and the Light of the Creator we have within us ? How aware have we been of our own innocence?” Then Hatonn said when we concentrate upon our mistakes, we dwell within the world of mistakes, so  mistakes will occur again and again, but if our consciousness is dwelling at a higher resonance within the realm where we know that we are a creation of the Creator, we know that we can manifest the Creator’s Love, and then the opportunity for us to make a mistake and manifest that which is not Love will be that much farther from us, but meditation is not one of our mistakes; it is not within the past; it is within the eternal present and within our innocence, for we are a child of Love. Hatonn went on to say they emphasize this at this time because we are attempting to dedicate our self in a deeper way than we have previously attempted to do, and the key to the deeper dedication is to be able to focus our self, not upon the world of mistakes, but upon the world in which that Spirit within us, which is the Creator, so it is written in our holy works that we do not know when this Spirit will come since It may come in the morning; or It may come in the evening; or It may come at midnight, and if our lamp is lit, all will be well, but if it is not lit, we will miss the Spirit, so we must dwell in the state of awareness that we are watching for the One Who Is All, and this is the source of the inspiration that will affect the kind of service that we wish to dedicate our self to, for we cannot analyze our acts, or other people’s acts because they will tangle us all up, so we can dedicate our self to the Creator in all the nows, and watch and wait, for we do not know when the Creator will come. On April 21, 1991, Q’uo described the Spirit within us:

Be aware of the smallness of your solidified self. Look at that self in relation to this gigantic being which, of itself, offers you food. It is no mistake or coincidence that the universe that is seen by the greatest telescopes and the universe that is seen by the greatest microscopes in cyclotrons seem identical. Relax that solidified self at this time. Allow the Spirit within you to feel the consciousness which you truly are, to release Itself from the judgments and condemnations of humankind. Feel yourself as the servant that you are, as the prodigal who wished to move forward, to climb that great arc which is the second part of the circle of being, finally to come to the house of the infinite One, to be greeted, and fed, and rejoiced over as prodigal sons and daughters.

Within the innocence of your soul, that which is perfect will always be coming into you. So, concentrate on that. It is especially difficult within your people’s lives at this time to make this change in emphasis, for people more and more have become each other’s watchdog, and this is accepted within your culture, as you may call it. And those who attempt not to concentrate upon the negative are often considered unaware, or even stupid. Yet we assure you that the will that you create by your continued innocence of heart will be a light within this world, this world of yours which is dark at this time. My friends, it is as though the world were deep, deep asleep, and a few of you are attempting to remain awake. For you, my friends, Love may yet light up the sky. For those who sleep, it may be a long night. Other people’s reality will remain real for them. Yours will also remain real for you, no matter how, shall we say, difficult the times may get for those about you. It is truly written that to those which are innocent in heart, those things which are needed will come.

Hatonn continued by saying within the innocence of our soul, that which is perfect will always be coming into us, so we must concentrate on that because it is especially difficult within our  lives at this time to make this change in emphasis, for more and more we have become each other’s watchdog, and this is accepted within our culture, and those  of us who attempt not to concentrate upon the negative are often considered unaware, yet they assured us that the will that we create by our continued innocence of heart will be a light within this world which is dark at this time, and it is as though the world were deep asleep, but a few of us are attempting to remain awake, so for us Love may yet light up the sky, but for those who sleep it may be a long night since other people’s reality will remain real for them, and ours will also remain real for us no matter how difficult the times may get for those about us as it is truly written that to those which are innocent in heart, those things which are needed will come. On December 19, 1995, Q’uo spoke of how those things which are needed will come to us:

And most entities move through the incarnative experience only becoming aware of that state of grace in which the universe is kindly, and in which all things which are needed appear from time to time. Thusly, most entities see grace as that which occurs episodically, now here, now there, and then again elsewhere.

In actuality, these times when grace seems to come near and touch the entity are those times when the individual has been able involuntarily or consciously to allow the self to be completely natural, to rest in the center of being and to allow the natural flow of energy. It is as though the self were a receiver that only intermittently worked. In simplistic terms, then, the way towards maximizing the experience of grace in the incarnative experience is to attempt to come to a feeling within of balance. We would encourage seekers to think upon and ponder the concept of self with regard to the nature of the basic attitude that is given as a natural gift by the Creator to each entity, for the maximizing of the experience of grace can be accomplished by increasing the allowing of the self to rest in the natural balance.

I am so happy to be able to speak with you, and I will tell you it is close to my heart that each of you within this room has the ability to speak our thoughts. It is hoped that each of you will be able to help others. At this time. I would like to leave you so that Laitos, may speak through another channel. I leave you, my friends, in the love and light of the infinite Creator. I am known as Hatonn. I am you. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to trim the weeds out of the Striped Liriope Garden and the Azalea Garden in the back yard, and then I began trimming around the Forsythia Bushes on all three sides of the back yard.

This afternoon I went outside and weeded the flowers in the Ruins Mound by hand. Then I weeded the small Hosta Garden next to the Astilbe Garden in the back yard by hand.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

July 1

The Liquor Of Righteousness

I am of the principle of Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

Know ye that the Spirit is everywhere to be found: in every raindrop, in every birdsong, in every mote of dust under your feet, and in every speck of sky overhead. There is that within you which drinks in this excellent liquor of righteousness and much light passes between the universe outside of you and the universe within.

When the seeker faces the universe as a part of the universe and moves so as to treasure dust and sky, bird and rose, the spirit is encouraged and strengthened and the bond between humankind and nature grows more into the unity that it should enjoy.

We encourage the finding of joy and laughter in the natural world about, for it is full of the Creator’s Spirit.

We leave you in peace, now and ever.

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.
