I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from January 11, 1976:
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am with you, as always. I have little to add through this instrument on the subject of suffering. The very word in your language indicates how real the illusion is to you. And indeed, this is as it should be. If the illusion were not “real,” you would not learn from it. It would not be an effective catalyst, and you would not progress sufficiently under its stimulus. That which seems to be suffering is precisely as valuable as a lesson problem is in school. You learn the lesson in order that you may pass the test. There are easy tests, and there are hard tests. If one is able to pass a harder test, one advances more quickly, perhaps to the next grade, instead of to the next semester within the same grade.
The concept for this question was suffering. Hatonn began by saying this word in our language indicates how real the illusion is to us, and this is as it should be, for if the illusion were not “real,” we would not learn from it, and it would not be an effective catalyst, and we would not progress sufficiently under its stimulus, so that which seems to be suffering is as valuable as a lesson problem is in school where we learn the lesson in order that we may pass the test, and there are easy tests, and there are hard tests, so if we are able to pass a harder test, we advance more quickly, perhaps to the next grade, instead of to the next semester within the same grade. On January 10, 1991, Q’uo spoke of the nature of suffering as a means of accelerating our spiritual growth:
Now, as you are aware, the process of spiritual growth involves much change, and this takes place on many different levels. Change is at times most welcome, and it may not be perceived at those times that there is any suffering taking place. However, each choice that is made involves, of necessity, a sacrifice of all other choices at that moment, and suffering may be felt on many levels.
It is possible to follow the paths outlined by the more traditional viewpoints that adamantly hold to the view that suffering is essential for purification, for growth. It is possible to adopt this viewpoint in whole or in part, to use suffering in the life intentionally to accelerate one’s process of spiritual evolution. As you aware, the conscious use of catalyst in this way is the means whereby one’s growth is accelerated.
There are many of those upon your planet at this time who have elected to utilize this particular physical experience in order to obtain the greatest possible lesson, to take the greatest possible test and advance the greatest possible amount. These people have chosen their tests. These people chose to advance rapidly, within a path that is totally made of Love. Within the illusion, it may seem that there is suffering. This suffering is a valuable gift. It is burning away the dross, that the gold may appear. We have spoken earlier tonight, my sister, on the necessity of penetrating the apparent quality of the illusion, in order to perceive reality. Penetrate to the center of this illusion, which you call suffering, and know that in love a perfect being is seeking its path.
Each entity will suffer. Each entity will proceed on its path. For each entity there will be dark nights—and then, the dawn! Do not admire those who seem not to suffer, for it is truly written that the last shall be first, and the first, last. There is one whom you know who is physically, shall we say, abased; this ultimately will cause her exaltation. Do not dwell within the illusion, my sister. The intellect cannot deal with the reality within it. Seek only to know the Creator. Do you not know, my sister, that all is love?
Now Hatonn said there are many of those upon our planet at this time who have elected to utilize this physical experience in order to obtain the greatest possible lesson, to take the greatest possible test and advance the greatest possible amount, and these people have chosen their tests to advance rapidly, within a path that is totally made of Love, and within the illusion, it may seem that there is suffering, and this suffering is a valuable gift that is burning away the dross, that the gold may appear, and Hatonn has spoken earlier tonight on the necessity of penetrating to the center of this illusion, which you call suffering, and know that in Love a perfect being is seeking its path. Then Hatonn said that each entity will suffer as it proceeds on its path, and for each entity there will be dark nights, and then, the dawn, but do not admire those who seem not to suffer, for it is written that the last shall be first, and the first, last, and there is one whom you know who is physically degraded, and this ultimately will cause her exaltation, but do not dwell within the illusion because the intellect cannot deal with the reality within it, so seek only to know the Creator, for all is Love. On June 12, 1994, Q’uo said that all is Love:
Each speck of consciousness contains the Creator. Therefore, the wish to serve followed by the dedication to the mystery which is the one great original Thought, that Creator whose name is Love, know and take comfort in this truth as we understand it: you are effective. As you desire to serve, so do you serve. That soul whom you touch may never know you, may never be on the same continent as you, yet that universal Love which you channel forth in that silent witnessing finds its target, for it is called, and it goes where it is called. You have only to sit and know the truth that all is Love.
That infinite intelligence will take that energy which you breathe forth and will touch the hearts who are in pain. Know this truth and rest in it, just as we hope to serve by our words, yet we know that we cannot serve beyond a certain point person-to-person. To be our most deeply effective we move into meditation, into that silence where the Creator is felt.
Hatonn: We would like to ask you whether you have in fact received this answer from us previous to this channeling?
S: Yes.
Hatonn: My sister, we ask that you be more confident, for you are receiving the knowledge that we have to offer you. It is simply that you are not fond of words, and neither are we. Therefore, we do not find it possible to contact you through words. We accept and are very grateful to deal with channels in speaking with you, and you never need to hesitate to ask for a channeled message. Yet we wish you to know, in those instances when it may not be immediately possible for us to talk to you through a vocal channel, that you are receiving our messages. There are no sure things, my sister. You cannot put your faith in any outside appearance, even our voice through a channel. Depend primarily upon that which you perceive.
We have a desire to speak briefly of your own abilities at this time. You have had considerable self-doubt due to the influence of your physical environment and your emotional influences. By which we mean that the illusion produces difficulties which test one’s ability to feel confidence in one’s protection. Within the illusion, there is good and evil; what you call Christ, and what you call anti-Christ. Yet within the Creator, all is one. When there is seemingly, in your intelligence, a negativity or a possible negativity, we ask that you not attempt to outwardly discern, or intellectually discover, its negativity or positivity. Rather, immediately go within, until you find the Creator. Within the Creator, my sister, all is one, and there is no knowledge of separation of any sort that can possibly harm you. Nor can you harm anyone. No harm can come to you; no harm can go from you. Unity! Unity! All is love. The world around you is an illusion. All is love. Throughout all eternity, your spirit is safe and secure, for these things are without meaning within unity.
The topic in this question was information received through channels. Hatonn began by saying they ask that we be more confident, for we are receiving the knowledge that they have to offer us, and it is that we are not fond of words, and neither are they, so they do not find it possible to contact us through words, for they are grateful to deal with channels in speaking with us, and we never need to hesitate to ask for a channeled message, yet they wish us to know, in those instances when it may not be possible for them to talk to us through a vocal channel, that we are receiving their messages, but we cannot put our faith in any outside appearance, even their voice through a channel, so we can depend upon that which we perceive. Now Hatonn said they have a desire to speak of our abilities at this time, and we have self-doubt due to the influence of our physical environment and our emotional influences by which they mean that the illusion produces difficulties which test our ability to feel confidence in our protection, and within the illusion there is good and evil, what we call Christ, and what we call anti-Christ, yet within the Creator, all is one, so when there is a possible negativity, they ask that we not attempt to intellectually discover its negativity or positivity, but go within until we find the Creator because within the Creator all is one, and there is no knowledge of separation that can harm us, nor can we harm anyone, for all is Love, and the world around us is an illusion, and throughout all eternity, our spirit is safe, for these things are without meaning within unity. On October 3, 1982, Latwii spoke of the good and evil or positive and negative polarities in the third density illusion:
Each choice, no matter what the subject, is an exercise of will, freely made. As the mind is configured by its very nature of being, and as it gathers the experiences of your illusion, it becomes biased either in the service-to-self sense or in the service-to-others sense. With this general coloration, then does the individual entity begin to increase its polarization so that each choice which is made adds in some fashion to that polarization. Each choice, no matter what the subject of the choice, then might be seen as adding or subtracting from the polarization which is the general character, shall we say, of the entity. The various choices available within the illusion are simply means by which an entity adds to the polarization which it has chosen.
I cannot express to you my sympathy and understanding of what you are experiencing. For each soul, my sister, there is a great solitude. One soul is on one path. And no one or no thing can keep that soul company on that path. For each entity is the Creator, is primary, and must teach itself what it already knows. Sometimes, my sister, in this loneliness, we have bad dreams. We are not speaking of literal dreams; we are speaking of times when a shadow seems to be over our lives. We are not free of these upon the plane from which I speak. Yes, we have advanced, yet we do not know all. We are alone in our way, as we speak of unity, yet we have loneliness when we are not able to totally live this understanding. These moments grow fewer and fewer as you continue to seek. It is a matter of being in reality instead of the illusion. When the shadow falls across you, my sister, know it for an illusion. If you must speak aloud to remind yourself, you may say, “All is Love.” And you will feel reality flow within you at that moment.
Now Hatonn said they cannot express to us their sympathy for what we are experiencing, for each soul there is solitude, and one soul is on one path, and no one or nothing can keep that soul company on that path, for each of us is the Creator, and we must teach our self what we already know, but sometimes in this loneliness Hatonn has had bad dreams, and they are not speaking of literal dreams, but they are speaking of times when a shadow seems to be over their lives, so they are not free of these upon the plane from which they speak, for they have advanced, yet they do not know all, and they are alone in their way, as they speak of unity, yet they have loneliness when they are not able to live this understanding, but these moments grow fewer as we continue to seek, so it is a matter of being in reality instead of the illusion, and when the shadow falls across us know it as an illusion, and if we must speak aloud to remind our self, we may say, “All is Love,” and we will feel reality flow within us at that moment. On July 5, 1981, Hatonn spoke of the value of solitude that each of us may experience:
In the situation of solitude, you must be aware that, though you do not have other entities around you, yet you are surrounded by the Creator; you are surrounded by yourself in forms not so easily recognizable. The experience of solitude has the effect of driving the attention of the entity deeper within the self of the entity, for your experience in solitude is a focus, a focus into your being which has the ability to show you that all about you is your being, that all about you is your experience, that you create your reality in your response to that which you experience.
Solitude must be carefully used, may we say, for it is a more powerful tool for the entity who wishes to progress in the growth and the realization of oneness with the Creator, for though many entities experience the reflecting of the part of themselves needing attention by other-selves in their daily lives, since this occurs so often it is easy to ignore, but when one experiences solitude, the experience of the self as all is much more profound and is harder to ignore.
Therefore, we would suggest for those who seek to progress upon the path of realization the use of solitude as a tool upon this path, but the use of this tool with discretion, for it is one of the more powerful tools which entities upon your plane have at their disposal.
Your brothers and sisters are with you. Have you any more questions?
[Pause]
We send you our love and our light. We will leave this instrument, my sister, for now, but we are always with you. We leave you only in leaving this instrument’s vocal vibrations. Adonai.
This morning I went outside and discovered that the tube that leads to the fountain had come loose from the pump in the fishpond again! So, I went through the same process as I did yesterday morning by removing the duct tape that helped to hold the tube to the motor. Then I put more super glue on the two-inch tube that connects the pump to the large tubing that leads to the fountain. This time I put more super glue on the small tube and pushed it as far as I could into the pump opening. Then I taped the large tubing onto the pump and onto the large tubing leading to the fountain. Once again, fingers are crossed! At 11 am I was once again a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. There were questions on a number of topics such as Sessions 5 & 6 of the Law of One dealing with healing exercises, David’s daughter and what would happen to their relationship if she made the graduation to fourth density and he didn’t, UFO landings on Earth, types of meditation, and humility and pride. I enjoyed our time together, as always, and am looking forward to the next time we study together.
This afternoon I went to the Valhalla Care Home to visit my neighbor who has been there for a few months now after a painful fall in her home. Her son is getting ready to move her to an assisted living apartment close to where he lives in Mount Sterling, KY. I took her another chocolate milkshake and showed her some pictures on my cell phone that she enjoyed. On the way back home, I stopped at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird seed and cat food. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some Begonias and food for myself.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
July 5
Love Yourself
I am of the principle of the Love of Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
Black despair surrounds the soul which is not at harmony with itself. The eye, turned inward, can be dismayed by the various imperfections which the eye seems to see in the self.
Yet this disparaging eye shuts the door to Spirit, which awaits self-acceptance that it may shine forth from the self to the glory of the Creator and for the blessing of those about one.
Condemnation of the self is never productive when it is done to the exclusion of the reaffirmation of the Love of that self which the Creator has made. Love yourself. Only then can you love your neighbor and the Creator of that Love which is you.
We leave you in peace, now and always. 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.
