I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from October 24, 1976:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. It is, as always, a privilege to be with you and to share with you that which we have to offer in the area of, shall we say, enlightenment, on subjects which are vital to you upon your path of progression. We of the Confederation have drawn near to you at this time, for you have requested it. We are here to serve you in whatever ways that we can without violating in any form the choice of any individual.

This evening we would speak to you upon the subject of what you would call tribulations. As you are aware, those upon planet Earth are undergoing, shall we say, an experience of growth and one of learning. Your life in its entirety is an accumulation of lessons, lessons which you have designed to experience, lessons through which you can learn the truths and the application of those truths that will enable you to bring about the existence that you truly desire. And that existence, my friends, may be expressed in many words, but shall we say, any orthodox expression would be the existence within heaven.

Heaven, my friends, is wherever you place it. It is wherever you desire it to be. It is an eternal factor. Thus, it is not to be gained, but recognized and accepted. And in order to come to the realization that you indeed exist within that heaven which you desire, you must undergo what we have called tribulations. You have placed before you on your path circumstances which, when encountered, are somewhat difficult to comprehend. Circumstances which, shall we say, test your emotional stability, your intellectual stability, and most of all, your spiritual stability and dedication.

My friends, when confronted with situations which are incomprehensible through the processes of your intellect, accept it and face it, knowing that it has been desired by you as an experience for the opportunity of growth. Righteously confront that situation. Enter into the experience with an attitude of love, of love which contains no resentment or fear. Accept that which you have created, for indeed, you have brought it into existence. Know that, no matter how it appears, it is for the best. Know that within you is the ability to properly react to any situation.

My friends, when we say to know that this ability is within you, we cannot stress the importance of the factor known as faith at these given times. You have been taught that within you is that which you call the Creator. You are portion and particle of the creative force and vitality that permeates the universe. Attune yourself to that presence within you, through the utilization of your meditations, and learn what it is to truly know the ability within you. Your abilities are infinite. Your Love is also infinite. There are no limitations placed upon you by your Creator. They are placed upon you by yourself, in your acceptance of them. There are no situations which you, as your own personal Creator, would place before yourself, that you could not properly confront and overcome.

Many situations will bring you to a point, being human, shall we say, as you are, to despair. Feel not guilty, for this feeling of despair is only natural upon your planet. During your trials, you shall, shall we say, be influenced by the mortality which you have chosen to possess at this given time. It is as the negative and positive poles, the mortal and the immortal, one knowing limitation, the other knowing infinity. Yet neither is complete without the other.

My friends, your existence within the Earth plane, and within physical environment, is vital and essential to your growth, for you have desired it. You have brought it into existence. And now that you have chosen it, you must learn, you must learn how, within you, the ability can be utilized to manifest the perfect experience within the physical environment. Many great teachers have walked your Earth planet and demonstrated that, even within the physical form, they could demonstrate the unlimited abilities of the Creator within them. “The kingdom of heaven lies within you,” so say your scriptures.

Seek not outside of your form, deity. But know the deity that is in you. Seek not to experience those things about you which would deter that seeking of deity within you, for you are confronted with many situations, day in and day out, which titillate your senses and your desires upon the physical level. Yet these also, my friends, are trials which you have placed before you. And when you come to the day that all things may be offered you that at one time were tests to you, and you no longer even need to ask yourself if they are desired, then you shall walk with the master’s and you shall teach with their assistance to your brethren on this plane.

My friends, to walk with those teachers, you must be above the influences of the physical level of existence, and yet remain in it. This is within you, the ability to bring this about. It is a long and tedious journey that you have chosen. Stamina, or shall we say, patience is of the utmost importance. And, my friends, once again: you must have faith in your Creator, and above all, in yourself. Know that you are divine. Know that you shall succeed. Know that you cannot be overcome by any negative experiences or incidents. You are the master of your universe. Go within yourself and know these things, and emerge in whatever form you would desire.

I shall transfer this contact to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn, and once again I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. My friends, you may have asked yourself before this many times: “If indeed I chose these tribulations, whatever was on my mind when I did that? What was my higher self thinking about?” We cannot penetrate the nature of the Creator, nor would we pretend to. And if there is a reason that the white Light and perfect Love of the Creator was generated into what you have called the Word, so that entities may appear to people the cosmos, we do not know it. Nevertheless, that this is so, we do know. It is possible that, in infinite humility, the Creator offered to all of Its infinite parts total freedom to remake that creation. This is, indeed, the option that was before you as you contemplated your entry into the physical illusion before your physical birth.

Before you came into the physical illusion, you were in an atmosphere where thoughts were obvious things, as real to you as the physical objects of your illusion are now. And the choices that you now find so difficult were not even choices. And you asked yourself, if you were put to the test, would you still know what love was? Would you still know how to serve your brother and sister? Would you still seek the Creator with all your heart? And so, you came into this illusion. Perhaps one might think of what is in the mind of this channel: that in your armed forces, parents hope that their child will become a man. Service under these conditions is more difficult, yet under difficult conditions, one developed more rapidly.

Hatonn continued to talk about the concept of dealing with tribulations. Hatonn began by saying we may have asked ourself many times: “If indeed I chose these tribulations, whatever was on my mind when I did that? What was my higher self thinking about?” Then Hatonn said they cannot penetrate the nature of the Creator, nor would they pretend to, and if there is a reason that the white Light and perfect Love of the Creator was generated into what we have called the Word, so that entities may appear to people the cosmos, they do not know it, but they do know that this is so, and it is possible that, in infinite humility, the Creator offered to all of Its infinite parts total freedom to remake that creation, and this is the option that was before us as we contemplated our entry into the physical illusion before our physical birth. Now Hatonn said before we came into the physical illusion, we were in an atmosphere where thoughts were obvious things, as real to us as the physical objects of our illusion are now, and the choices that we now find so difficult were not even choices, so we asked ourself: ”If we were put to the test, would we still know what love was? Would we still know how to serve our brother and sister? Would we still seek the Creator with all our heart?” Hatonn continued by saying, so we came into this illusion, and one might think of what is in the mind of this channel: that in our armed forces, parents hope that their child will become a man, and service under these conditions is difficult, yet under difficult conditions, one develops more rapidly. On January 7, 1990, Q’uo spoke of how we can grow by dealing with difficult conditions in our life:

You ask this evening firstly about the prickly business of mood balancing during difficult conditions. We are aware that it is this instrument’s question, as this instrument is going into two hospitalizations and wishes with all its heart to create within those experiences a poem of praise and thanksgiving for the Creator, and not the nattering of complaint and whining.

Firstly, we would remind all that they are in the third density. The amount of will which it takes to balance pain, and the counting of blessings is enormous, and if it is not balanced, but merely suppressed, it does much more harm than good. It is well to ventilate any negative emotion while it is small, that it does not escalate into a crisis in the spiritual walk of a pilgrim. Breathe in; breathe out. This is the first blessing. You are alive. You are in this illusion, and you are learning. You earned this position, this incarnation. Carefully did you select that which shall come to you. Carefully did you estimate your limits and move catalyst to the very limits, for you wish once and for all to learn the lesson of unconditional self-forgiveness that opens the door to compassionate love. Therefore, we are suggesting that you should dwell whenever possible upon the all-compassionate Love and the immediate presence of the one infinite Creator.

And so, it is with you, my friends. This was your motive. Whatever else you needed to do while you were here, your basic motive was to penetrate the things of this illusion with your discrimination so that you could see the Love and the Light, as you would call it, the heaven that penetrates all that there is. In order for you to see those things that are lasting, it is necessary for things not to always go on the physical plane, perfectly well, for if your day-to-day existence was not at all troubled, you would perhaps be satisfied to live out your physical existence without seeking further knowledge. It is when things become difficult that you seek to know the reason.

My friends, in all space and time, wherever polarity of good and evil exists, those entities which the Creator tossed into the void have forever and ever turned back to the Creator with an instinct that cannot be denied. Whatever entities have attempted, however much separation they have attempted to put between themselves and the Creator, there is an instinct which cannot and will not be denied forever. Perhaps this is, in a nutshell, the answer to the riddle of why we are all aware beings. We are a timeless answer to a timeless question. In your tribulation, in your difficulty, know that this is an opportunity for you to discern, to seek out that which will not rust and will not spoil, to unlock from within your heart those feelings which will long exist, while all more petty and mundane feelings pass away. As always, we suggest meditation, for this is the kind of assignment which one cannot do by oneself.

Hatonn continued by saying, so it is with us since it was our motive, and whatever else we needed to do while we were here, our motive was to penetrate the things of this illusion with our discrimination so that we could see the Love and the Light, the heaven that penetrates all that there is, so in order for us to see those things that are lasting, it is necessary for things on the physical plane not to always go well, for if our day-to-day existence was not troubled, we would be satisfied to live out our physical existence without seeking further knowledge because it is when things become difficult that we seek to know the reason. Hatonn went on to say in all space and time, wherever polarity of good and evil exists, those entities which the Creator tossed into the void have forever turned back to the Creator with an instinct that cannot be denied, and however much separation they have attempted to put between themselves and the Creator, there is an instinct which cannot be denied forever, so perhaps this is the answer to the riddle of why we are all aware beings, and why we are a timeless answer to a timeless question, for in our difficulty we can know that this is an opportunity for us to unlock from within our heart those feelings which will long exist, while all more petty and mundane feelings pass away, so Hatonn suggested meditation, for this is the kind of assignment which one cannot do by oneself. On April 18, 1993, Q’uo said that there was an instinct within us that we are one with the Creator:

What causes a person to pray? What lies so deep within an entity that spontaneous prayer rises to the lips? Each of you knows that, in a few situations in your life, prayer was an activity which you discovered while in the process of doing it. There is an instinct to ask for help when all else fails. This instinct is the gift of distant memory, the memory of their being oneness between the created and Creator. Through all the veils of forgetting, this instinct is so deep as to persist inevitably.

When the infinite intelligence of the Creator is invoked, a thought is called forth. That is the one original thought, Love itself. And any situation into which Love is introduced will tend to be affected positively by Love. Love is a vibration which equals the true or full vibration, which is the line of original energy flow.

I would leave this instrument at this time, for one of my brothers, Laitos, wishes to condition several who are here. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet each of you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am one with you, and I thank you for the opportunity to be with you at this time. As Hatonn has said, it is my special privilege to work with conditioning those of you who desire it, and at this time I would like to pass among you and offer to each of you the conditioning wave.

[Pause]

We thank you for this opportunity. We would like to take just a little of your extra time, if you would be patient, and attempt to contact the one known as N. We have not used this instrument for a long time, and if he is willing, we would like to say a few words through him. I am Laitos.

(N channeling)

I am Laitos. I am now with this instrument. I greet you all again in light and love. I will not say many words through this particular instrument, but I would like to say that it has been a very great honor and privilege to speak to this group at this time. I will now leave this instrument. I leave you all in the light and love of the infinite Creator. I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am again with this instrument. Before we leave you, we would like to open the meeting to questions. Are there any questions at this time?

[Pause]

If there are no questions, my friends, we will only leave you with the thought that you are as harps. You have the power to tune yourselves to harmony or disharmony. You cannot control the wind that blows through you. You can only control the sound that you can produce when the wind touches you. My friends, the wind of experience can blow hot and cold, harshly and gently. Yet, you have the key: you may tune yourselves. Meditate, my beloved brethren. You are all one. You are all in harmony. It is only a matter of finding that sweet harmony. I am Hatonn. I send you our Love and the Love of the Creator, and I leave you in Its  Love and Light. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I went outside and pumped half of the water out of the fishpond and then cleaned the filters for the fountain and fertilized the water lilies. While the water was being pumped back into the fishpond, I used my blower to blow the algae from the filters off of the walkway in front of the fishpond, and then I used my trimmer to weed the liriope on the west side of the fishpond. After the fishpond was full of water I threw Aquasafe in the water to neutralize the chlorine. Then I put the netting back in place with the extension cords and stone.

This afternoon I went back outside and put netting over the liriope to keep the deer from eating them since they are just now going into bloom.

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

July 30

Turn From Judgment

I greet you in the holy name of Jesus the Christ. I am the Spirit of that consciousness of divine Love which speaks to the world.

It has been some time since this instrument has opened itself to the utter peace of total non-judgment.

It is easy to see prejudice outside of the self and to recommend that prejudice be removed. The mundane justice of these thoughts comes across clearly to most seeking souls. Yet these same souls often have anger, resentment, guilt, and other negative feelings about themselves.

Does the consciousness of Love accept this prejudice of self against self? Surely not. For it is the instruction of Jesus the Christ to love the self and the neighbor as the self.

The beginning of peace lies within at the cessation of self-judgment and the surrendering of that un-judged, holy and ready-to-be-potentiated self to the consciousness of compassion, joy, peace and Love.

Turn from judgment. Live in peace. And be a Light for the world.

I leave you in peace, both now and evermore. 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.
