I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn quote for today is from August 8, 1976:
(B channeling)
Greetings, my friends. I am Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. As always, it is a great honor to share with you in your meditation. My friends, I would speak with you tonight on the subject of progression. For, my friends, since you have started on the path, so far away now, you have sought after that knowledge which is accompanied by progression. My friends, in fact you have done well. As you know, you were all brought together in order to teach, and learn from, each other of the knowledge of Love. But, my friends, once upon the path you cannot sway from one side to another. There are many things to do, many things that must be done.
And, my friends, as you know, there are many experiences along this path. In order to help you attain even more knowledge as time goes by, the vibrations will grow even stronger, and you will grow to a great extent. But, my friends, you have to keep walking upon the path. For some, it is enough to obtain knowledge of this path and to sit idly by. But, my friends, in order that you may grow ever stronger, you, like ourselves, must aid others; thus, you may gain the knowledge you would learn. Your every wish for help, my friends, is placed at your disposal. Within your experiences you have gained the knowledge of much Love. My friends, walk within this path and rest within the knowledge that may be obtained.
I will leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.
(Carla channeling)
I am with the instrument. I am Hatonn, and again I greet you in love and light. We speak to you about progression, for we know that you will progress, for that is inevitable, as all things progress. The only question open is the direction of that progression. There is a quality to experience which greatly aids progression, and ignoring this quality in your experiences will cause your progress to be minimal. Moreover, this quality of experience is one which is often ignored by your people, for they do not understand the need for rapid progression nor the technique for obtaining this rapidity.
Consider that experience, as you see it, is an activity such as eating a piece of fruit. The piece of fruit, being the experience, has an edible part which you immediately take into your system. When you finish with the easily eaten substances you are left with the seed of the piece of fruit, and this you throw away. You must understand, of course, that while the flesh of the fruit will feed your body for a day, if you do not plant the seeds, you will not reap the long-term benefits of the living consciousness. In experience, that which you experience at the moment is much like the flesh of the fruit. It may be sweet, in which case you eat it greedily, savoring every morsel. It may be sour, in which case you will not eat it, or you will only eat part of it. In either case, whether the fruit is sweet or sour to the taste, the seed is the important part for your progress. In each experience there is a seed of wisdom, a lesson which was implicit in the experience and which you must plant in your consciousness in order to progress.
Hatonn continued to speak about the concept of progression. They began by speaking to us about progression, for they know that we will progress, for that is inevitable, as all things progress, so the only question open is the direction of that progression, for there is a quality to experience which aids progression, and ignoring this quality in our experiences will cause our progress to be minimal, and this quality of experience is one which is often ignored by our people, for they do not understand the need for rapid progression nor the technique for obtaining this rapidity. Hatonn continued by saying consider that experience as an activity such as eating a piece of fruit, so the piece of fruit, being the experience, has an edible part which we take into our system, and when we finish with the eaten substance we are left with the seed of the piece of fruit, and this we throw away, but we must understand that while the flesh of the fruit will feed our body for a day, if we do not plant the seeds, we will not reap the long-term benefits of the living consciousness, for in experience that which we experience at the moment is much like the flesh of the fruit, and it may be sweet, in which case we eat it greedily, or it may be sour, in which case we will not eat it, or we will only eat part of it, but in either case the seed is the important part for our progress, so in each experience there is a seed of wisdom, a lesson which was important in the experience, and which we must plant in our consciousness in order to progress. In 16.37-.38, Ra spoke about the concept of our progression:
Questioner: Can you tell me if the progression of life in the other galaxies is similar to progression in this one?
I am Ra. The progression is somewhat close to the same, asymptotically approaching congruency throughout infinity. The free choosing of what you call galactic systems causes variations of an extremely minor nature from one of your galaxies to another.
Questioner: And then the Law of One is truly universal in creating the progression toward the eighth density, or octave, in all galaxies. Is this correct?
I am Ra. This is correct. There are infinite forms, infinite understandings, but the progression is one.
Taking your experiences into meditation is very important; offering them up to the consciousness within you, not in a judgmental way, but simply as a desire that you truly learn from each experience, not just for the day, but for the future of your spirit. On the level of your intellect, it may be helpful for you to ask yourself the following question with regard to your experiences: in this experience, was I of service? In this experience, did I want to be of service? For the seed, as we have said, which will enable you to progress rapidly, has as its key Love expressed in action.
And the closest we can come to giving you this concept is the concept of service. Service, as you well know, is not always a thing, but most often an attitude. To be of service is often simply to be non-judging, to be loving, to be willing to see the possibility in another of the Christ-consciousness and its progress in that person. Insofar as you have been able to bring into this experience that attitude, you have already planted the seed as well as eaten the fruit. And as you take experiences in which you have not done this into your meditation even your failures will teach you and the seed will be planted.
Then Hatonn said taking our experiences into meditation is very important and offering them up to the consciousness within us as a desire that we truly learn from each experience for the future of our spirit, and on the level of our intellect, it may be helpful for us to ask ourself the question with regard to our experiences: in this experience: “Was I of service? In this experience, did I want to be of service?” And the seed which will enable us to progress rapidly, has as its key Love expressed in action. Now Hatonn said the closest they can come to giving us this concept is the concept of service which is an attitude, and to be of service is often simply to be loving and to be willing to see the possibility in another of the Christ-consciousness and its progress in that person, so as we have been able to bring into this experience that attitude, we have planted the seed as well as eaten the fruit, and as we take experiences in which we have not done this in our meditations, even our failures will teach us, and the seed will be planted. On March 29, 1981, Latwii spoke of the nature of Christ-consciousness:
You are perfect. Forgive yourself. Let your friends comfort you. Listen in your heart for the Love of the Creator. Feel upon your shoulder the hand of a presence so near and so dear that you could not be separated from it. This presence may be called Christ consciousness or divine Love. Seek and ye shall find. This is that which you will find. As always, we are with you.
The world itself, my friends, will never progress for you are the world. Only you can progress. And you can only progress by offering up your little human self to the Christ Self within you. You cannot influence the world and most especially you cannot influence the Creator. Yet this is not necessary, for the world is as darkness, and the Creator is Light. If you can ask the Creator to influence you, it will be as light turned upon darkness and the darkness will be no more.
Hatonn went on to say the world will never progress for we are the world, and only we can progress by offering up our human self to the Christ Self within us, and we cannot influence the world, and we cannot influence the Creator, yet this is not necessary, for the world is as darkness, and the Creator is Light, so if we can ask the Creator to influence us, it will be as Light turned upon darkness, and the darkness will be no more. On June 21, 1987, Q’uo said that the Creator is Light:
And so, you explore, and report, and gather your strength, and again explore. And so do we all. The fire that lies within you can never be touched, can never be altered, but can only be eventually found because you have honed the personality until it is brilliant and clear, and the properties of the crystal are yours. Then may you carry Light as the Creator is Light. You do this now, but in a distorted manner. You ponder now; you suffer now. May we hope that you also heed that side of you which is most in touch with the Light and Love within, so that you may see the impermanence of all that seems to die.
I will transfer to another instrument after a brief pause.
[Pause]
(Carla channeling)
I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. We were attempting to make contact with the one known as B. However, we are satisfied that this is not a good time, and we will attempt again at a later time. We would like to pause for a moment and send energy, for there are many among your group which are fatigued at this time and there are those who are not here who are thinking of this group at this time, and to all those we also would send energy.
[Pause]
It to a great privilege to us to be linked in this great circle of energy, the Light pouring through us and through you, to each other. We are all one.
I would at this time open the meeting to questions.
M1: Can you tell us about the second coming of Christ?
Hatonn: We are unable to express through this instrument this question. There are many concepts which we can speak on and a few which are so highly charged with emotion within the mind of the instrument that we have difficulty in giving a clear message. We are sorry.
Is there another question?
M2: Yes. What are your thoughts on children, especially their guidance and spiritual growth?
Hatonn: We find it much easier to speak on this subject through this instrument, for the subject does not have highly emotional feelings about children. Therefore, we shall, as you might say, skip right ahead.
Children, as well as adults and old people, are spirits. Into this world they come, extremely vulnerable within their manifestation in the physical, yet as eternal and as complete as any one of those on the planet. What the parents do for their child is right, as long as it is an attempt to be of service. An understanding of the basic freedom of all individuals is, of course, very important. The Father-Creator has given the family as an understandable symbol of the relationship which is between all of the children of the Father and Himself. The Nurturer and the Creator—the Spirit and the Father. In this relationship, the Nurturer—who is the Mother—and the Creator and Provider—who is the Father—grow to understand divinity and Love, for the Love that will flow is pure, far more pure than any love that can be discovered by other relationships. It is a deeper and simpler lesson.
And so it is for the parents. This lesson is a great lesson, and we know that it will bring you much joy. Know that this is the Father, the Creator, expressing through you as instruments the Love which makes up the universe. More than what you do as your child grows, it will be what you are which affects his understanding and his progress. If you truly seek the spiritual; and if you live your lives according to the path which you seek; if every day you expressly make room for spiritual seeking in your meditation, in your prayer, your child will understand from the very beginning the purpose of life and the path. It is not necessary to ask him to participate. It is never necessary to encourage a small, growing being to choose one way or another. It is only necessary for a child to know that there is such a thing as the spiritual path and that it has given joy to those who are closest to him. Beyond this, beyond the giving of Love and the offering of the spiritual path, that whole and complete being which you have been given to care for will express to you himself that which he will need.
M2 asked: “What are your thoughts on children, especially their guidance and spiritual growth?” Hatonn began by saying children, as well as adults and old people, are spirits, and into this world they come, vulnerable within their manifestation in the physical, yet as eternal and as complete as any one of those on the planet, and what the parents do for their child is right, as long as it is an attempt to be of service, so an understanding of the freedom of all individuals is very important, and the Father-Creator has given the family as an understandable symbol of the relationship which is between all of the children of the Father and Himself, so the Nurturer and the Creator—the Spirit and the Father, and in this relationship, the Nurturer—who is the Mother—and the Creator and Provider—who is the Father—grow to understand divinity and Love, for the Love that will flow is more pure than any Love that can be discovered by other relationships is a deeper and simpler lesson. Now Hatonn said so it is for the parents, and this lesson is a great lesson, and they know that it will bring us joy, so know that this is the Creator expressing through us as instruments of the Love which makes up the universe, for more than what we do as our child grows, it will be what we are which affects his progress, for if we seek the spiritual and live our lives according to the spiritual path which we seek in our meditation and in our prayer, our child will understand the purpose of life, but it is not necessary to ask him to choose one way or another, for it is only necessary for a child to know that there is such a thing as the spiritual path, and that it has given joy to those who are closest to him, so beyond the giving of Love and the offering of the spiritual path, that whole and complete being which we have been given to care for will express to us that which he will need. On March 25, 1989, Latwii described the purpose of life that we can share with others:
As one becomes more aware in a conscious fashion through one’s own seeking of the purpose of life and the possibilities of the life pattern, then this service by necessity, shall we call it, becomes expanded so that there is taken a certain degree of pleasure in the serving of others. The continued conscious seeking of the nature of the life pattern and its purpose will provide the seeker of truth with renewed opportunities for providing those services which are unique to each seeker to provide other selves.
Does this answer your question?
M2 Yes.
Hatonn: Is there another question?
[Pause]
Hatonn: I am Hatonn. How many things you see, my friends, things of surpassing beauty. How many things you think that are sublime! Truly within you, there is divinity. Trust yourself, please, trust yourself, my friends—have confidence. In every sincere impulse, every honest desire to progress, let that have weight within you. Take yourselves seriously, and let that joy that you feel from time to time take root and grow, until your life itself is transformed by your knowledge and understanding of Love. It will happen, my friends. Not all at once. It is a progression. And we wish you great joy upon it.
Your brothers leave you in the love and light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning I went outside and used my backpack blower to blow leaves into the places in the back yard where I could mulch them with my mower, Venus. Then I used my limb loppers to cut two small maple trees out of the Forsythia Bushes in the back yard.
This afternoon I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the weeds out of the Moss Garden.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
July 21
How Love Shows Forth
I am the principle of the Love exemplified by Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
Many times those who seek the Love of Christ with the most effort are those who mistake that Love, thinking that it may show forth in one way instead of another. In actuality the Spirit of Love moves in as many ways as do those sons and daughters of the Lord who spend their lives in many and various conditions.
Love is not merely a strong and vital creative force. It also contains that subtlety which partakes of wisdom. Thus, the spirit may appear in a different way for each entity. Trust that, no matter what your situation, the Spirit of Love is willing to transform each experience, if you invite that Spirit to enter the heart of your being.
We leave you in peace, now 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.
