I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn quote for today comes from November 7, 1976:
(H channeling)
I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I have come to offer you those directions which we feel it is of benefit to share with you. We place no judgment upon the position which you occupy within, shall we say, your spiritual life. Yet, we recognize and we constantly attempt to share with you information which are of the greatest benefit for what you would term to be the group consciousness of each meeting. As you may recognize through your own abilities, there are those upon your planet who have chosen to seek out the truths and the knowledges that are available to them. And then there are those who have chosen only to seek the material, shall we say, possessions and the emotional involvements which shall provide for them temporal happiness that they seek. And then there are those who vacillate in what you might term the middle of these two: those who dwell into the material and those who dwell into the spiritual. And being aware of the desires and the directions of each individual not only within your meeting but throughout your globe assists us in bringing forth the most beneficial information and assistance to each group or to each individual with whom we work.
As you journey throughout this life, you shall have presented to you many opportunities. Opportunities by which you may grow and opportunities by which you may learn and understand the composition and the operation of the universe or of the Creation. My friends, there are laws which are not written in the books of men. There are laws that override all of the, shall we say, cardinal laws of your planet. There are laws which are handed down to the people upon your planet through what you would call teachers. One of these teachers was that person whom you refer to as the Christ. One of the laws, shall we say, that He commanded to His disciples was, “To know thyself.”
My friends, if you wish to journey throughout this life and gain from it the greatest benefit, then you must first, above all things, know thyself. Know what it is that you desire. Know what it is that you shall do in order to attain those desires. Know how you react to all situations and leave out nothing. For many times, my friends, when one views oneself, that portion which you would call the ego of humans interferes and disrupts proper and fair evaluation of oneself. For the ego itself shall continually seek out, shall we say, the enhancer or the elevation of one’s opinion of oneself. And, my friends, it is not your position to be placed above or below any other individual. It is not your mission to fulfill to be the greater, to be the greater emanation of truth than any other individual. And this is what that portion of you which you refer to as the ego continually seeks after. Recognition of oneself rather than acceptance of one’s true identity.
Your true identity is divine. Your true identity is perfect. Your true identity is in balance. And in order to seek out and to know thyself one must turn within and seek from within the depths of their inner being the enlightenment and knowledge available through what you might call divine inspiration or guidance, or from the words of God that are within you. There is deep within you the presence of the Creator. You have gathered about that presence which you have termed to be yourself or your physical body. And it is within your capability to penetrate that density and to enter into the presence and the existence of the Creator, which is instilled within you. And from this presence and the allowance of it to work through you, you can know what it is you are here to do. And you shall know the areas and the directions to take in order to achieve that which you have not only come to do but that which you have chosen to do.
Many times, as you travel through this life you shall experience difficulties. And each difficulty is placed before you in order that you may come to a realization. A realization that shall assist you in understanding yourself. A realization that shall assist you in understanding those about you and the world about you. As you penetrate the density and enter into the likeness and the presence of your Creator, you shall find that you shed layer by layer of those fears and doubts and anxieties that you have drawn unto yourself. And as these things are taken from you, as these things are released by you, the true existence of which you are becomes clearer and clearer.
And my friends, once you have achieved the knowledge of yourself from the inner depths of your being, you shall realize that you not only know yourself but that you know your Creator. And you know the creation in which you exist. For as we have often said, as all of your great philosophies have stated, in true essence we are all one together. We all vacillate and exist within the same area of creation. And all energies continually flow together and penetrate one another. In knowing oneself, inwardly and outwardly and completely, it is knowing all and knowing all people and all existence.
In order to know yourself, you must serve others. You must render unto others that love that you find within you. You must share with all around you that which you have learned in order to proceed further and further into the depths of your being. It is as though there were doors, and you contain within you the key to each door. The key to one door may be service; service to a particular individual. And the key to another may be service to a group of individuals. And the key to another may be the discipline of willingly accepting a profession by which to acquire material needs. And the key to another may be the acceptance of the discipline of studies through your educational systems. Yet, my friends, the key, the key which is of greatest importance, the key which unlocks the door of knowledge as to what other keys to utilize, is the key which we have called many times, meditation. There is, to our knowledge, no greater way to come into the realization of one’s true identity than through the proper and disciplined utilization of the art of meditation.
Certainly, this can be attained through other avenues of discipline. But none, to our knowledge, are swifter in their actions and reactions upon you. We of the Confederation have been aware of the movements and of the decisions within each person upon your planet for a vast amount of your time. And we are aware that the dawning of the consciousness which you may call Christ consciousness has indeed begun upon your planet. My friends, it is your responsibility to continue feeding, shall we say, that consciousness, so that it may grow. And in order to feed it, my friends, you must know thyself. Know what your portion within the overall view and the overall raising of that consciousness contains. Know what it is that you are to do. And once again, in order to know this, you must know thyself. Love one another and you shall indeed love yourself. But love not yourself and indeed you cannot love another. For you must know what love is from within you in order to share it with others. All things lead back to the same position no matter in what direction you turn; no matter what avenue of seeking you choose, it shall lead you back to the center of your being and bring forth from within you the love and knowledge of the universe.
I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn. Again, I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. At this time, I and Laitos would like to spend a little time working with you in silence. It is often very difficult to give you concepts without distorting them in some way through the use of channels such as this one. And when we have those who are accustomed to our contact, we like to spend some time in direct communication. So , we would pause at this time and work with you individually.
[Pause]
(Carla channeling)
Hatonn spoke of the concept of our being alone. They began by saying to know ourself is not a task that will end, for it is a task that will progress, and as we progress the way will be lighted, and though our load be heavy, it will be easier, through understanding, to carry it because within our illusion, although we are in a community we seem to be always alone, so our aloneness is the key to many understandings, for until we understand how to be alone we will never be able to be a part of a group, and many among our people have the need to be with others, yet they find that they are not satisfied, but on the other hand it sometimes seems that to be alone would be the most precious thing because one seems to be always dealing with others in our community, but until one is able to share in community, one cannot totally use the time alone, so it is a circular problem, for to be alone is in the end impossible, for we are one with all that there is, for to be with a group is impossible for there is only One. Hatonn went on to say that we are within the physical, and it is a mystery, yet through meditation we may find the heart of being alone and the heart of being part of the community, for in both states we are inspired by the Creator’s Love which we have called the Word, and in our solitude we may realize first that we are in direct relation to Love, and that this Love is our whole existence, and all else is the appearance of Love, so in our communion with others, realize that the blessings and the troubles are possible only through the relationship of Love between us, and to know ourself, in ourself and in others, is a great task, but we are all part of the body of Light which is all creation, and to know ourself in the end will be a continuing job. On May 23, 1999, Q’uo described the value of being alone:
The lesson that is before you at this point is undoubtedly not about wisdom, not about being wise, but rather about discovering the spring of infinite Love. The rational mind can do just so much when it comes to seeking out the wellspring of one’s being. It can put you in a good place. It can arrange an environment for the best effect. But once the stage is set, there seems to be nothing but a beating heart, a resting body, an alert and seeking mind that thirsts for the Creator, and time. And in this curl of body, and silence, and time there is that feeling of being alone, being still, and being at sea. And the rational mind asks how this curl of energy, and hope, and time can bring one to oneself.
Before we leave this instrument, we would like to open the meeting to questions. If you have any questions, please ask them at this time.
[Pause]
We will leave you at this time. We leave you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. Adonai vasu.
This morning, I went outside and cleaned the bird bath in the back yard. Then I removed the fossils, stones, and geodes in the rectangle of topsoil beneath the bird bath and raked the topsoil that on in a way to even it out. Then I replaced the fossils, stones, and geodes in the rectangle of topsoil.
This afternoon I ran errands, with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food. My second stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some Pepsi-Zero. My third stop was at Pauls’ Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Speedway where I filled Stanley’s gas tank with premium gasoline.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
August 3
Cast Thy Burden Upon The Lord
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love: that Love which shines from the beginning of space and time; that Love which created all that there is; that Love which sustains you at this moment.
We find this instrument most perturbed, for it is in pain and has been so for many months. It did not expect this ordeal and can no longer emotionally refrain from a lack of cheerfulness. Bluntly has she asked, “What has the Holy Spirit to say to one such as I?”
And to this one, and to any who suffer, we can only repeat the words, “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you.”
To cast one’s burdens upon one’s family and friends is to find no more certainty of Love and understanding than you find within the self. Thus, the suffering will be aggravated by the guilt of complaint.
Yet the Spirit of Love only embraces the complaints and the sufferings of those who love and are Loved by Him. And thus, each complaint is blessed, and the suffering quieted. Turn not to man but to the consciousness of Love for that peace which passeth all understanding.
Now, always, in times of need and evermore, we leave you in this peace. 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.
