I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from September 26, 1977:
(H channeling)
I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I shall speak with you this evening, for it has been requested, and it is our purpose for being here. I shall speak upon several subjects and shall attempt to answer many of your questions as we are aware of them.
I have said that my name is Hatonn. Yet, I wish you to know that this is not a name as you would know it. It is merely a means for identifying ourselves in a way that is acceptable to you. If you were within our world, shall we say, you would understand the concept; the concept of lack, shall we say, of desire for identification. This does not mean that we do not live as individuals. But it means that we live as one, together, united for one goal, desirous not of, shall we say, boosting our personalities and of our egotistical traits. We wish only to unite and to serve, as we have come to the realization that all people are servants to one another. And it is our obligation and our desire to serve those upon planet Earth in their time of need.
We have come from many areas as you would understand it, and have traveled great distances as you would understand it. But to us the distances are nearly nonexistent. We feel that those upon planet Earth who attempt to understand, shall we say, the mechanics of the universe have somewhat erred in their pursuit of knowledge. For my friends, to understand the physical intellect that you utilize while existing upon the planet Earth, to utilize that intellect to attempt to understand the universe, is in many ways a useless endeavor. The intellect which you utilize has been programmed to accept finite principles, meaning that you have placed limitations upon that which it shall accept. And the universe, my friends, is founded upon the infinite, all things being infinite and therefore having no limitations. So, it is incomprehensible to us that people could understand the universe in its totality utilizing only the intellect which is many times [inaudible].
We do not attempt to be scornful in any manner. We attempt only to display and to give the truth as we perceive it. Whatever we say we ask only that you listen if you would wish to and decide for yourself if it is the truth that we speak and if the truth that we speak is that which you are seeking. For, my friends, the truth may be presented in many ways. Though it shall always say the same, it can be phrased in many different ways and brought through many different sources. The reason it is this way upon your planet is because your people are still endeavoring within their personalities and seeking means of personal identification. Therefore, each shall choose the path that is most comfortable for them to follow. In understanding this, you can see that it is not the responsibility of anyone to point the fallacy of any path out to one who is consciously following that path with Love in their heart. Though the path may not be the purest in your eyes, the Love within their heart is. And that Love shall eventually draw all to that universal point where all is indeed one with the other.
Look not upon your brothers and sisters as different than you. Look upon your friend as a reflection of a portion of yourself and of your Creator. The Creator, my friends, is a term which we use to signify that which we consider to be the omnipresent energy and intelligence that is, shall we say, the maker of all things. We see the presence of that Creator within each individual and within all matter. For if indeed, as many of your major philosophies have stated, all things are one, then the Creator must be within them. The greatest law which you may observe is to love and respect one another as you would yourself; to love and respect the Creator within each individual. Do not attempt to focus upon those points of personality which seem undesirable to you, but focus your attention upon those points of universality, one with the Creator, within your brothers and sisters. And in this way, you shall commune more quickly, in love and in harmony, with not only your brothers and sisters upon this planet, but with your brothers throughout the universe.
For indeed, the universe in which we all exist is infinite in size and infinite in population as you would know. We of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator, as we sometimes call ourselves, have been with you throughout your history, though we are more numerous now than ever before. And each of you taking a look at the situations within your world can indeed understand why. For people upon planet Earth are caught not only in their own illusion, but in a dilemma. They have created what you would term as inevitable destruction due to environmental abuse and conscious projection of negative thought forms. This is indeed evident and has in many ways been stated by your scientists. Though they do not know the true reasons why, they know the effect that is already in process.
Therefore, we have come to help, to help the people of Earth to understand what it is they have done to cause this effect, and what it is they can do to alleviate to the greatest extent those effects already in process. We wish not to speak of doom. We wish not to speak of annihilation. We wish to speak of the rebirth of planet Earth. Rebirth in not only a physical sense, but more important in a sense that you would term as being spiritual. My friends, you can dwell within this type of environment as long as you choose to do so. But if you choose to advance, shall we say, upon the evolutionary scale, then it is necessary to strive spiritually to understand yourself and your ability to create the environment that you choose. Each and every one of us is the extension, as we have stated, of the Creator. And within us is planted that ability to project thought forms, and if given enough time, to manifest that thought form into physical actuality and experience. You are indeed the co-Creator of your environment with those who you choose to associate with.
People upon planet Earth look about these days and times in many ways to experience what is termed as phenomena. But we say to you that there is no such thing as phenomena. All things are natural within this universe, and all things are possible. Each and every one of you is the phenomena—your life, all of your experiences, are created by you, and most of you do not even realize this. To us this is a phenomenon: your lack of understanding of your own ability. People of Earth, open your heart. Open your mind and your spirit. Allow the truth of the universe that lies within you to radiate not only within this environment, but throughout the universe. Do not label anything or limit anything. Allow your life to flow freely as it is meant to be. Go within yourself periodically each day in what you would term meditation, and allow the God within you, that essence of the Creator within you, to calm you, to inspire you, and to fulfill your needs. Listen to the silence which you can so easily hear. And within that silence we promise to be all the knowledge of the universe if only you would reach out and accept it.
We say many things as we speak to you on Earth. But indeed, the most important that we come to bear is the need for the individual to take the initiative to evolve on a spiritual basis. And we have found the most, shall we say, expedient tool to be the practice of meditation. It is a key given to us by the Creator to unlock those doors that seem to be so stubbornly bolted before us. Free yourself and free your brothers and sisters by going within yourself into the silence. This is the most necessary part.
We of the Confederation are very happy to share with you. I shall transfer this communication to another instrument. I am Hatonn.
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. And again, I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I shall continue. Yes, my friends, we ask you to meditate in silence, each of your days. And we do this for a reason, my friends. We have said to you Love is all that there is. You must love your brothers and sisters. But, my friends, the beginning of Love is the love of yourself as a whole and perfect being. It is in meditation that you become aware of the true nature of yourself and therefore, my friends, the true nature of the universe, for you are inseparable, completely linked with all that there is. That is why you and we are brothers and sisters, for neither time nor space, nor all the dimensions of creation can separate the oneness of consciousness.
Consider, my friends, yourselves as physical beings who are dressed in many layers and types of attire that cover that which you call your nakedness. You have many things which you do, which you place upon yourselves, many various ways in which you arrange those portions of your body which may grow from day to day. That which you call your hair is arranged in such a way as to make a certain impression, or to please you or to please society. And when you are armored with all of the clothing and the appearance that you desire, then and only then do you meet the world as you perceive it outside yourself. With each layer of clothing, with each arrangement of your hair and your odors and the various manifestations of your physical being, you are separating yourself from the outside world and limiting the responses which you will need to receive in your turn. These are your defenses on a physical level against those things that you do not consider part of yourself. They are your definition of yourself. Perhaps this is not conscious. And perhaps your definition is very carefree. Yet it exists, my friends.
Hatonn asked that we use meditation to discover the true nature of our being. They began by saying they ask us to meditate in silence each of our days, and they do this because Love is all that there is, and we must love our brothers and sisters, but the beginning of Love is the love of ourself as a whole and perfect being, so it is in meditation that we become aware of the true nature of ourself and the true nature of the universe, for we are inseparable, completely linked with all that there is, so that is why we all are brothers and sisters, for neither time nor space, nor all the dimensions of creation can separate the oneness of consciousness. Then Hatonn said to consider ourselves as physical beings who are dressed in many layers and types of attire that cover that which we call our nakedness, and we have many things which we do, and many ways in which we arrange those portions of our body which may grow from day to day, so that which we call our hair is arranged in such a way as to make a certain impression, and when we are armored with all of the appearance that we desire, only then do we meet the world as we perceive it outside ourself, for with each layer of clothing, with each arrangement of our hair, our odors, and the various manifestations of our physical being, we are separating ourself from the outside world and limiting the responses which we will need to receive in our turn, so these are our defenses on a physical level against those things that we do not consider part of ourself, and they are our definition of ourself, so perhaps this is not conscious, and perhaps our definition is carefree, yet it exists. On October 3, 1976, Hatonn described our true nature as Love:
Our message to you has always been simple, and yet because, my friends, your spirits are encased in flesh, our message is never understood in a simple manner, for it filters into your ears in such a way that the simplicity is lost. We tell you that all things are Love, that you are Love, and that your entire existence is a process whereby your whole purpose is to become aware of your true nature; that is, to become aware of the oneness of all things and of the nature of that one thing as Love. It is a simple message.
The thought of allowing your physical being to wander naked in the physical world is not one which seems very desirable. And yet, my friends, all beings are naked. All beings are unified even in their body, even on the level of physical illusion, by the total naturalness and validity of all of the functions and manifestations of their physical form. In nakedness, those differences which seem so obvious when one begins to speak, when one begins to limit oneself by clothing and by cultural differences, fall away and one can see that we are all one.
On mental, emotional, and spiritual levels, those levels which are unseen, are those we would take up at this time. On these levels, you also have clothing and limitations. You have your mental and emotional limitation closely connected with your concept of who you are, and these may be considered like unto your clothing. But inside your clothing, my friends, is the most terrible limitation of all. Like tight bandages, your unseen self is wrapped in a terrible stricture consisting of those feelings which you have towards others concerning those things which you feel they have done to you for which you have not forgiven them. And, on the other hand, my friends, your feelings of guilt for things which you have done to your brothers and sisters for which you do not feel forgiveness. You will never be whole, my friends. You will always be crippled as long as you carry these bandages about your spiritual body. Oh, my friends, this instrument has within her memory a story of a man who went home with a beautiful woman and as she undressed she took off her wig, her make-up, and her padded brassiere and her wooden leg, and suddenly she wasn’t very beautiful anymore.
Then Hatonn said the thought of allowing our physical being to wander naked in the physical world is not one which seems very desirable, yet all beings are naked and are unified even in our body, on the level of physical illusion, by the total naturalness of all of the functions and manifestations of our physical form, so in nakedness those differences, which seem so obvious when we begin to speak and to limit ourself by clothing and by cultural differences, fall away, and we can see that we are all one. Hatonn went on to say on mental, emotional, and spiritual levels we also have clothing and limitations, for we have our mental and emotional limitation closely connected with our concept of who we are, and these may be considered like our clothing, but inside our clothing is the most terrible limitation of all, and like tight bandages, our unseen self is wrapped in a stricture consisting of those feelings which we have towards others concerning those things which we feel they have done to us for which we have not forgiven them, and our feelings of guilt for things which we have done to our brothers and sisters for which we do not feel forgiveness, but we will never be whole, for we will always be crippled as long as we carry these bandages about our spiritual body, and Carla has within her memory a story of a man who went home with a beautiful woman, and as she undressed she took off her wig, her make-up, and her padded brassiere, and her wooden leg, and suddenly she wasn’t beautiful anymore. On October 1, 1995, Q’uo described the nature of our spiritual body:
So know that the human experience is driven by instinct and at the same time there are opportunities every instant to grow into a spiritual body and a spiritual instinct, and when this begins to occur you shall find meditation and contemplation flowing easily and quietly in natural ways throughout the life pattern, and the muscles of spirit will have learned these notes so that now they can work subconsciously, naturally, so that one does not have to think about the process but can enjoy the music of spiritual consciousness and can turn that consciousness upon a world that is all too short on love and laughter. Each of you can be of service to others in this respect, of lightening other’s loads, of offering that light and caring touch, sharing that laugh, and spending time together easing each other’s burdens.
My friends, all those that you look at, within this group and elsewhere, all these, my friends, are cripples. They all have wooden legs. They all have wigs. On the level of your human personality, they are wrapped in the tight bandages of those things they have not forgiven and those things for which they feel they are not forgiven. And therefore, they manifest within the illusion in imperfect ways. And you, my friends, manifest within the illusion in an imperfect way. Now we return to meditation. As you begin to go into the silence, perhaps you have games you play, as we would call them, in which you attempt to carry your clothed spirit, your limited spirit, into the silence. Do not do this, my friends. Picture yourself, mentally, taking guilt and discarding it as you would a piece of clothing. Taking resentment and fear, putting them aside and walking as your shining naked self into the waters of cleanliness. After you have bathed yourself in total forgiveness, total cleanliness for the moment, you can emerge and in your mind, you can sit down and listen. Listen for those signals which will come to you in the silence. You are a whole and complete person. Within you is perfection, wisdom and all the attributes of love.
Yes, you will come out of meditation. Yes, you will begin to wrap the bandages about yourself. But as you come again and again into meditation, strip yourself clean and allow that soothing feeling of wholeness to come into your awareness. You begin to view your brothers and your sisters with something that does approach true Love, for you will see, behind whatever manifestations may occur, that whole and perfect being that dwells perhaps very far beneath, perhaps very obviously beneath the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical clothing. We have always greeted you in love and in light, for that is all that there is. We can greet you in nothing else. As you go into the silence, know that you are within that which is Love. There is nowhere to go. You have no outer influence to seek. All that you desire is within. Meditate, my friends. And always we will aid you in any way that we can.
Now Hatonn said all those that we look at, within this group and elsewhere, are cripples, and they all have wooden legs and wigs, so on the level of our human personality they are wrapped in tight bandages of those things they have not forgiven and those things for which they feel they are not forgiven, so we manifest within the illusion in an imperfect way, and as we begin to go into the silence of meditation, perhaps we have games we play in which we attempt to carry our limited spirit into the silence, but instead we should picture ourself taking guilt and discarding it as we would a piece of clothing by taking resentment and fear, putting them aside, and walking as our shining naked self into the waters of cleanliness, and after we have bathed ourself in forgiveness and cleanliness for the moment, we can emerge, and in our mind we can sit down and listen for those signals which will come to us in the silence, for we are a whole and complete person, and within us is perfection, wisdom, and all the attributes of Love. Hatonn continued by saying we will come out of meditation, and we will begin to wrap the bandages about ourself, but as we come into meditation we should strip ourself clean and allow that feeling of wholeness to come into our awareness until we begin to view our brothers and sisters with something that approaches true Love, for we will see, behind whatever manifestations may occur, that whole and perfect being that dwells far beneath the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical clothing, and Hatonn has always greeted us in Love and in Light, for that is all that there is, so they can greet us in nothing else, and as we go into the silence, know that we are within that which is Love, for there is nowhere to go since we have no outer influence to seek, and all that we desire is within, so meditate and they will aid us in any way that they can. On November 16, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the nature of true Love:
The ways of courtship are slow and sweet. They are full of passion and yet full of restraint, for the object of love is sensitive, young, inexperienced. And certainly, as an essence, living within consensus reality, your hearts are indeed innocent babes in a wicked world. So, there are the hints that we give you. It is not seeking as a man seeks a woman, and yet it is, in that there is passion, there is true Love, and there is the hope of serving.
Find the ways that your own inner self wishes to express itself. Is it walking in nature? Is it filling your mind with great music or great words? Is it the act of service? We find within this instrument’s mind an example from earlier this day as she was speaking with the one known as Jim, and he was expressing to her how he feels grateful for the opportunity to cut and trim the lawn of the client so that he creates a place of beauty, and as he leaves, he looks back over his shoulder with great affection and pride because he has loved that place and danced with the Love that is in that place. Perhaps that undiscovered country within you is a place that you may love and that you may dance with and in.
At this time, I would open the meeting to questions. If you have a question, please speak up.
Questioner: Could you give some thoughts on dreams and interpreting them?
Hatonn: We are aware of your question. My sister, you must already know that consciousness does not cease either with sleep or with death. Therefore, that which you recall from your dreams is a record that your consciousness has been keeping during your slumbers. There are many levels of consciousness below that which you call consciousness, and many are not understood by those who study dreams. The level that is most often described by those who study the importance of dreams is the level wherein you are as your higher self attempting to speak to your conscious self about the material which you have covered in your experience within the last day or short period. There may be many symbols which those who interpret dreams have fairly adequately covered which may be used within your own dreams as a kind of symbolism to, shall we say, soften the blow of the lessons that your dreams are attempting to offer you.
We do not consider this the most important type of dream, however. In actuality, your consciousness is being taught by your teachers during sleep. And quite often, if you are very careful to keep records of your dreams, you will begin to consciously remember at least part of these lessons. This is most valuable to you, and it is worth attempting to discover by means of keeping records of your dreams. There are some cases where the more advanced among your peoples have the job, shall we say, of leaving their body during sleep periods and within one of the spiritual bodies, as this instrument would call them, going to other places and working with those who may need some kind of help either with mental or physical problems. These healers, as one might call them, are rare, but they are very helpful and do exist, and it is another activity that occurs in, shall we say, a dream form. Separate from all this my sister, are visions, either of the future or of the present, in which you see in a very real sense that which is to occur. This takes place on what you would call the fifth dimension and does not have anything in common with dreaming. You are actually there, and your consciousness is fully awake.
Questioner asked about dreams, and if Hatonn could give her some thoughts on interpreting them. Hatonn began by saying you must already know that consciousness does not cease either with sleep or with death, so that which you recall from your dreams is a record that your consciousness has been keeping during your slumbers, and there are many levels of consciousness below that which you call consciousness, and many are not understood by those who study dreams, and the level that is most often described by those who study the importance of dreams is the level wherein you are as your higher self attempting to speak to your conscious self about the material which you have covered in your experience within the last day, so there may be symbols which those who interpret dreams have covered which may be used within your dreams as a kind of symbolism to soften the blow of the lessons that your dreams are attempting to offer you. On May 25, 1980, Latwii spoke of the value of our dreams:
May we say to you that all things in your experience are very useful for your understanding, and this definitely includes dreams, for one third of your life, if you are lucky, is spent in garnering these messages from parts of your mind and spirit that are forced into quietude during your active, daily work-a-day world. Sometimes your dreams will simply attempt to work out frustrations in your daily life and are simply a means of helping you to adjust to a situation which is less than perfect. However, if you become a student of your own dreams, that is, if you begin to write them down as soon as you awaken, you will begin to understand things about yourself that you did not understand before. For you are, in your dreams, conversing with parts of yourself that are in touch with your higher self and with those whom we would call your angels or your guides.
Once you have begun to pay attention to your dreams, you will begin to have memories of being instructed or even of instructing others, depending upon your particular vibratory pattern as a personality coming into this incarnation. Eventually, you will be able to use faculties of your consciousness in dreams, so that you will have a much better communication with yourself in your deeper or subconscious, as this instrument would call it, mode of being.
Therefore, we would of course encourage you to pay attention to your dreams, just as you would pay attention to those things that occur when you are awake. It is widely known among your people that sleep is necessary only because of dreaming. If sleep occurs without dreaming, the entity becomes ill. In your dreams you are in contact with your higher self and with the Creator. This is your spiritual rest. There are many, many of your people to whom this is the only comfort, for whom this is the only contact. Thus, the more that you meditate or pray, the less that you will need sleep. If you were to totally spend your time in an inspired or loving state, conscious of the Creator, and in ecstasy with the joy of the creation and Love, you would not need your sleep. And, there have been those among your people who have achieved this level of contact with Love. However, for the rest of those upon your planet, as this instrument, for instance, you will continue to need a sufficient amount of sleep, so that you can make contact with those deeper parts of your being.
Does this answer your question?
Questioner: Yes. Thank you.
Hatonn: Is there another question? My friends, this has been a longer meeting than usual. And we are very grateful for your patience as we have had a good deal to impart to you. We ask you again to understand that we come to you not to give you technology—for, my friends, you would not be able to handle technology—but Love. For, my friends, you badly need Love. Let us share this with you. If all of you could love each other, you would refrain from your war-like efforts and from your defensive efforts. And, my friends, that money which you now have to spend on your technology would be enough to give you the breakthroughs that your scientists would like to make. We may tell you that we are aware at this time on your planet that there are those close enough to understanding methods of propulsion, fusion power, and other helpful pieces of technological breakthrough that an application of money sufficient to fund their research would make the breakthrough. But your governments will not spend the money on research unless it has defensive abilities.
My friends, technology will come when you have Love. We realize this must seem to you to be, as this instrument would say, a great cop-out. But it is not. We can only say to you that when you have Love, you are joyful and full of energy, and that which has been given to you to do you will do. And the breakthroughs will come, and the technologies will come. If you do not have Love, as it has been written in your holy works, all that you do will be hollow. It is especially important that we say this to you at this time, for you are at the end of a cycle, and if you had the time, you could not use it. For time is coming to a kind of ending, and you are coming to a beginning. Therefore, attempt at this time to find the Love within yourself, and to reach out to your brothers and sisters.
Now Hatonn wanted to share information about technology and Love. They began by asking us to understand that they come to us not to give us technology—for we would not be able to handle technology—but Love, for we badly need Love, so if all of us could love each other, we would refrain from our war efforts and from our defensive efforts, and that money which we have to spend on our technology would be enough to give us the breakthroughs that our scientists would like to make, so they may tell us that they are aware at this time on our planet that there are those close enough to understanding methods of propulsion, fusion power, and other helpful pieces of technological breakthrough that an application of money sufficient to fund their research would make the breakthrough, but our governments will not spend the money on research unless it has defensive abilities. Then Hatonn said technology will come when we have Love, and this must seem to us to be, as Carla would say, a great cop-out, but it is not, and they can only say to us that when we have Love, we are joyful and full of energy, and that which has been given to us to do we will do, and the breakthroughs will come, and the technologies will come, but if we have not Love, all that we do will be hollow, so it is important that they say this to us, for we are at the end of a cycle, and if we had the time, we could not use it, for time is coming to an ending, and we are coming to a beginning, so attempt at this time to find the Love within ourself and to reach out to our brothers and sisters. On October 31, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the end of the cycle of third density:
You see, my friends, the reason that your people are so anxious at this time to discover the purpose of their existence is that at this time your planetary sphere is marking the end of a cycle of existence. And it will be necessary for your people to, shall we say, take a cosmic examination. And those who pass will go on to the next level, and they enter the next lesson. Those who do not pass this examination will have to repeat this so-called Earthly grade once again.
We are here to help you with this examination. We have been here, as you have earlier spoken, for some time; as you would say, for many thousands of your years. Yet it is at this time that we are far more numerous, for it is at this time that we are more needed.
If your path takes you into science, into politics, into any manner of interaction with your brothers and sisters, so be it. Philosophers and spiritual-minded people are not off on top of a mountain. They come down from the mountain and live for the good of their brothers and sisters and for the Love of the Creator that gave them the life, the consciousness, the talent, and the will. We reach out our hands to you, my friends. And we leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning, I cleaned all of the windows and rear-view mirrors on my rental car since it was covered in dust. Then I drove over to Walmart to get some milk to go with the bananas that I saved from breakfast at this hotel that will become my breakfast as I drive back to Kearney, Nebraska early tomorrow morning to board the flight to Denver. Then I filled the tank of the rental car with gas. At 10 am my cousin, Karma, picked me up, and we went to the care home to visit my aunt Margaret. After a while we went out for lunch.
This afternoon Karma and I drove to Lake McConaughy, which is a lake that was created in the late 1930’s by damming the Platte River. It is 22 miles long and the dam is over 200 feet tall. There is a small lake on the other side of Lake McConaughy called Lake Ogallala where my dad and I used to fish when I was in grade school. Then Karma and I drove back to the care home to spend some more time with my Aunt Margaret. She still isn’t eating much at all, so I am planning to come back to attend the funeral whenever it is necessary.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
August 10
Put On Spiritual Clothing
I am of the principle of the Love of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
Putting on the clothing is part of the preparation for the day’s business. We suggest to you that you also put on the spiritual clothing of Light which may aid the process of seeking during the day to come.
Visualize and call to the self that great armor of protection that goes before, follows after, guards upon each side and permeates each part and cell of your body. This armor of Light enables the seeker to dwell within the state of joy and peace which the living waters of Love, caught up in the armor of Light, can bear.
Without such armor, without such deep remembrance of Light, it is difficult to dance throughout the daily experience. Each time light is forgotten, be not discouraged but call in again upon yourself that great protection.
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.
