I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling is from December 2, 1979:
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, a Creator who has given you peace and joy from now until infinity so that all that you have known and all that you will know may be of joy and of peace. We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator are privileged to be with you in thought at this time, speaking through this instrument. And we are well aware that it does not seem to you as you dwell in your illusion of time and space that time is necessarily either joyful or peaceful. We know that there are many questions upon your minds having to do with the great divisions among the peoples of your planet. But what we wish to say to you now has to do with a block which stands in the way of joy and peace on an individual basis. We cannot give peace to nations, my friends, for they will not listen to us. We cannot give joy to a race of humanity. We can now offer these things only to those individuals who would listen to us. And to you who listen to us tonight, we say that the greatest impediment to joy and peace in your life is a lack of understanding of the true nature of love. It is written in your holy work which you call your Holy Bible that the Lord God requires a broken spirit and a contrite heart.
[S enters the room and sits down.]
We will pause for a moment to bring the one known as S into our circle of meditation. We surround you at this time with Love and ask you to feel the harmony of your group. We will pause for a moment. I am Hatonn.
[Pause]
I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. We will continue through this instrument.
As we were saying, a broken spirit and a contrite heart, my brothers and sisters, seem to be things that would sadden an individual, but in truth, a spirit which is not broken, a heart which is not contrite on its own behalf cannot forgive the infirmities of others, cannot be gracious and kind when compassion is surely needed. How can you break a spirit? With love, so that you do not become sad but rather joyful. How can your heart become sorry for all that it may have done or thought or felt, without feeling guilty, for sadness and guilt were never required by the Creator, only love my friends. But a broken spirit and a contrite heart are the gifts of Love. For in Love, we know that all things that move and have their being in our illusion and in all illusions are part of us. Whatever you see, whatever you hear, whether it be bad or good, whether it stems from your thinking or the thinking of someone halfway around the circle of your globe, all of these things are part of you. The spirit of Love is alive in every man and every woman but its expressions are often distorted.
Hatonn wanted to talk about the concept of peace. They began by saying what we wish to say to you has to do with a block which stands in the way of joy and peace on an individual basis, but we cannot give peace to nations, for they will not listen to us, and we cannot give joy to a race of humanity, for we can offer these things only to those individuals who would listen to us, and to you who listen to us tonight, we say that the greatest impediment to joy and peace in your life is a lack of understanding of the true nature of Love, for it is written in your Holy Bible that God requires a broken spirit and a contrite heart. Then Hatonn said a broken spirit and a contrite heart seem to be things that would sadden an individual, but in truth, a spirit which is not broken, a heart which is not contrite on its own behalf cannot forgive the infirmities of others, cannot be gracious and kind when compassion is surely needed, and you can break a spirit with love, so that you do not become sad but rather joyful, and how can your heart become sorry for all that it may have done without feeling guilty, for sadness and guilt were never required by the Creator, only love, but a broken spirit and a contrite heart are the gifts of Love, for in Love, we know that all things that move and have their being in all illusions are part of us, so whatever you see or hear, whether it be bad or good, whether it stems from your thinking or the thinking of someone halfway around the circle of your globe, all of these things are part of you because the Spirit of Love is alive in every man and every woman, but its expressions are often distorted. On December 17, 2000, Q’uo said that the Spirit of Love was within us:
The Spirit of Love is the heart of each spirit that takes flesh. That perfect Love expressed in Jesus the Christ dwells in each heart, but it is as though each spirit needed the help of the being that has become aware in order to thrive. So, each of you is as the caretaker, the parent, teacher, and the comforter of his and her own spirit. Each of you can encourage the Spirit of Love within you. Each can clothe that infant Spirit in the garments of care and self-awareness and time, time given to silence and the awareness of the Love that rests within in that cradle that is the heart.
Thus, the beginning of freedom is the acknowledgment that your own expression of love may be distorted. When you commit yourself to an examination of your thoughts so that you may more nearly mirror the thought of Love which the Creator formed you in, then you begin to have a broken spirit. For you have become a person who is not proud. You have become a person who is not ego-centered, as you would call it, but is, rather, capable of understanding the pain and suffering of those about you. When you walk through a forest, my friends, what does the wind require of you? The grass and the path under your feet, what do they ask of you? The trees as they bend to the breeze, do they require aught of you?
The creation of the Creator, my friends, is one of service. And it requires nothing from any of its parts but that each part be who that part is. You are becoming yourself in each moment. You are not finished; you are growing constantly, and each thing that you learn adds just a bit to the quality of understanding of the original Thought which is harbored in your infinite and ever-living spirit. Your pride and your vanity you will leave behind. These, my friends—pride, vanity, boredom—these are the things that make people sad. When peace and joy are all about you, when heaven surrounds you, there is no need for you to dwell in the tattered rags of a worn-out illusion.
Now Hatonn said the beginning of freedom is the acknowledgment that your expression of Love may be distorted, and when you commit yourself to an examination of your thoughts so that you may more nearly mirror the thought of Love which the Creator formed you in, then you begin to have a broken spirit, for you have become a person who is not proud or ego-centered but is capable of understanding the pain and suffering of those about you, so: ”When you walk through a forest, what does the wind require of you? The grass and the path under your feet, what do they ask of you? The trees as they bend to the breeze, do they require aught of you?” Hatonn went on to say the creation of the Creator is one of service, and it requires nothing from any of its parts but that each part be who that part is, for you are becoming yourself in each moment, but you are not finished because you are growing constantly, and each thing that you learn adds more to the quality of understanding of the original Thought which is harbored in your infinite spirit, but you will your pride behind, for pride, vanity, and boredom are the things that make people sad, so when peace and joy are all about you, when heaven surrounds you, there is no need for you to dwell in the tattered rags of a worn-out illusion. On January 6, 1980, Latwii said that the original Thought is within us:
That is the position of your world. It does not seem possible that you could live without law. But we say to you, my friends, that there is a greater law. And it is a law that extends beyond man’s concept of law. It is the law of the original Thought. If you could understand the original Thought, you would know what there is to know, and your soul would no longer journey, it would no longer seek, nor harvest, nor share. For it would be one with all seekers, all harvesters, and all sharing. If you could understand the original Thought, you would be Love. You would not be seeking Love. The original Thought is within you. It is not without you. When you look at the world with the original Thought in your heart you can see Love. If you look at the world without the original Thought you can only see the illusion of disharmony, and naturally you will desire to ease the situation by using laws. But when you understand the original Thought, you find yourself viewing this same world with eyes that see Love.
Thus, we ask you to drop your pride, your vanity, your thoughts of self-worth as if they were old garments and take on the armor of Light. For you are a creature whose essential nature is Love. You were born to serve; it does not matter whether the service is great or small. It does not matter whether you may even feel successful. All that matters, my friends, is that you attempt to serve, that you attempt to love. You will make many errors; you will make mistakes; you will find yourself lacking self-confidence, and at those times we ask that you call upon us, upon the Creator, upon your own guides, upon your higher self. All of these resources are about you at all times. Comfort yourself and surround yourself with Love so that once more you may go your way rejoicing. We want no eye to be sad and no tear to be shed. The illusion is difficult; reality is simple.
Hatonn continued by saying we ask you to drop your pride, your vanity, and your thoughts of self-worth as if they were old garments and take on the armor of Light, for you are a creature whose nature is Love, and you were born to serve, so it does not matter whether the service is great or small, or whether you feel successful, for all that matters is that you attempt to serve, to love, but you will make many errors, and you will find yourself lacking self-confidence, and at those times we ask that you call upon us, upon the Creator, upon your guides, upon your higher self, for all of these resources are about you at all times, so comfort yourself and surround yourself with Love so that once more you may go your way rejoicing since we want no eye to be sad and no tear to be shed, for the illusion is difficult, and reality is simple. On April 27, 2024, Q’uo said that our guides and higher self are within us to give us answers to our questions:
Again, we suggest the process of entering into the meditative state with the intention of asking the very question that you have asked us, for your guides are there to respond to queries, to your interest, to your desire to seek further upon your spiritual path. So, if you will take that time to meditate and to look within yourself for the source of information, then that will be provided to you by your guides, and as a means of moving you forward into more communication with your higher self.
At this time, you are unaware that that quality which is the higher self is you, for the higher self is a greater portion of who you are. You are all things, the higher self and the One Creator as well. However, the higher self is more like the teacher in the school room, where you in the incarnate state are a student. And as you ask the higher self for more questions about your journey, then sometimes they are answered through your higher self, or your guides that might communicate via your intuition, your hunches, those thoughts that come to you, shall we say, out of the blue; and yet, it’s not out of the blue, but it is out of you, for you are one with these sources of information, and you are expanding your own experience of yourself when you make contact with these guides, your higher self and others within the inner planes that are aware of you and are attracted to you by the way you seek on your spiritual path.
We will aid you in invoking the Light, and I and Laitos will move about the room working with each of you that you may feel our presence. I am Hatonn.
We are having some difficulty with the one known as M because she is fatigued. We will attempt to send her some energy at this time. I am Hatonn.
I am Laitos, and I also greet you in Love and Light. Before we leave this group, we would appreciate the opportunity to attempt to exercise the one known as S. If he would relax, we would condition him at this time and attempt to say just a few words through him. I am Latwii.
[Pause]
I am again with this instrument. I am Laitos. We thank the one known as S. We are aware that we have good contact with him, and that he is aware of our contact. The ability to channel is not always easy, and will come in time if the desire is there. We would like to make the same experiment at this time with the one known as K. I am Laitos.
[Pause]
We thank the one known as K and would like now to attempt to speak a few words through the one known as R, if she would consent to be used as a channel at this time. I am Laitos.
[Pause]
I am again with this instrument. I am Laitos. If you will be patient, we will not attempt to speak through the one known as M, but we will attempt to be very specific in making our presence felt to the one known as M.
[Pause]
I am again with this instrument, and I thank you very much for patience. We are sending healing to the one known as R, and we thank you all for attempting to learn a service of vocal channeling that will be greatly needed in times to come. We cannot thank you enough for being willing to aid us in attempting to aid your people. When you meditate, please ask for our presence if you wish to be conditioned, and we will be with you. I leave you now. I am Laitos. Adonai, my friends.
I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument, and I greet you again in Love and Light. As is customary at these meetings, I would at this time ask for questions.
Questioner: You said a moment ago that if we are troubled or do not know, we should appeal to our higher self. Where is this higher self and how would you go about contacting it?
Hatonn: Your higher self, my sister, is in the eternal now and is closer to you than any physical part of your being. In this illusion you are a splinter of your eternal spirit which has been sent into this illusion in order to learn certain lessons and to grow in spirit, and this growth is then added to the higher self, which is eternal. Thus, all that you have learned and all that you will learn are enclosed in your higher self, giving you the benefit of all of your future understanding as well as your past experience. When you are in doubt, if you will pause in meditation and consciously ask that the truth that your higher self knows be made known to you in some way and then release this request, you will find that within the next hours or days through a dream or inner certainty or vision you will be relieved of your problem either by understanding it or by its resolution.
This higher self is not omnipotent, for it is only a splinter itself of the divine Creator, so all true appeals must end at the feet of the Almighty, the Creator of us all. Your higher self is suggested to you because it is so close to you and your knowledge is so available to you that it can come through to you in a shorter amount of your time. Meditation is always the key; that which you call prayer is always helpful. Thus, as you spiritually give of your time, the rewards come to you threefold. This is the principle of meditation and the heart of our teaching to you. Using the term higher self is only to identify to you the true nature of yourself, for you can be the sum of all that you are whenever you are dwelling fully in the Love of the Creator. That you cannot do this at all times is understandable but by all means, my sister, call upon your higher self by mentally requesting it. For that self is you and it is as easy as talking to yourself to make contact with that which is your deeper, more meaningful, and more knowledgeable self.
Questioner asked: “Where is this higher self and how would you go about contacting it?” Hatonn said your higher self is in the eternal now and is closer to you than any physical part of your being, for in this illusion you are a splinter of your eternal spirit which has been sent into this illusion in order to learn certain lessons and to grow in spirit, and this growth is then added to the higher self, which is eternal, so all that you have learned and all that you will learn are enclosed in your higher self, giving you the benefit of all of your future understanding as well as your past experience, so when you are in doubt, if you will pause in meditation and consciously ask that the truth that your higher self knows be made known to you in some way and then release this request, you will find that within the next hours or days through a dream, or inner certainty, or vision you will be relieved of your problem either by understanding it or by its resolution. Now Hatonn said the higher self is not omnipotent, for it is only a splinter of the divine Creator, so all true appeals must end at the feet of the Creator, and your higher self is suggested to you because it is close to you, and your knowledge is so available to you that it can come through to you in a shorter amount of time, so meditation is the key, and prayer is always helpful, for as you spiritually give of your time, the rewards come to you threefold, and this is the principle of meditation and the heart of our teaching to you, so using the term higher self is only to identify to you the true nature of yourself, for you can be the sum of all that you are whenever you are dwelling fully in the Love of the Creator, so that you cannot do this at all times is understandable, but call upon your higher self by mentally requesting it, for that self is you, and it is as easy as talking to yourself to make contact with that which is your deeper and more knowledgeable self. On July 5, 1991, Hatonn said that the Love of the Creator may be experienced in all things and all people:
My sister, we would answer you by saying that to seek the Love of the infinite Creator in each moment of your life is the greatest service and the greatest learning that can be accomplished upon your plane, for it is the lesson of this dimension to discover the Love of the Creator within all that is experienced within the self, within the life, within the family, within the community, within each activity, each experience and there is, shall we say, an infinite amount of time to discover this Love.
Does this answer your question?
Questioner: Yes, very well. Thank you.
Hatonn: Thank you, my sister. Is there another question?
Questioner: I have another question. You indicated to meditate, to having contact with your higher self. I sometimes feel that meditation is such a waste of time when we could be helping others during this time than just sitting there trying to contact your higher self or whatever. Would it not be better to be of service, as in, just say, doing to others during all these hours we spend meditating, or is meditation very essential?
If, on the other hand, you go forth to be of service to others without taking on the aspect of the spirit of Love which is infinite, your ability to be of good cheer in your service will diminish and fail. For that which was given to your personality in this chemical illusion is limited. The only way that you can always be of service is to continually restore your understanding of the holiness of the ground whereon you walk through contemplation of that which is divine. You must understand that in meditation you are not trying to contact anything. The idea in meditation is one wherein you realize that you are. Not who you are, not where you are, but that you are. That you are aware, that you are in the eternal present. When you feel this, you will feel a sweetness and a closeness to the Creator that come from breaking through the illusions of space and time and coming into that place where you can simply be who you are. That person is greatly loved by the Creator. And that person can greatly love others.
Questioner asked: “I have another question. You indicated to meditate, to having contact with your higher self.

Would it not be better to be of service, as in, just say, doing to others during all these hours we spend meditating, or is meditation very essential?” Then Hatonn said we are aware of your question, my sister, so most people on your plane of existence do not spend hours in meditation, nor do they spend hours in service, but meditation is advisable to all persons due to the fact that it is in meditation that you are made aware of your true relationship to the Creator and the creation, and it is in meditation that you become aware that you and your brothers and sisters are one being and to serve them is to serve yourself, so armed with this understanding of service, you may go forth and serve, given power by the Spirit of Love which is infinite. Hatonn went on to say if you go forth to be of service to others without taking on the aspect of the Spirit of Love which is infinite, your ability to be of good cheer in your service will fail, for that which was given to your personality in this illusion is limited, so the only way that you can always be of service is to restore your understanding of the holiness of the ground whereon you walk through contemplation of that which is divine, for you must understand that in meditation you are not trying to contact anything since the idea in meditation is one wherein you realize that you are, not who you are, or where you are, but that you are, and that you are aware that you are in the eternal present, so when you feel this, you will feel a closeness to the Creator that comes from breaking through the illusions of space and time and coming into that place where you can be who you are, for that person is greatly loved by the Creator, and that person can greatly love others. On March 10, 1991, Q’uo described who we are:
Born within as a self-aware, eternal Light being, to aid the Earth that you so love, to aid the changes that must come. It is simply necessary to find who you are and then be who you are in the very most truthful way, the most honest way that you can. All else will follow.
When one accepts the higher wisdom of this mysterious Love, one is a servant, yet one is for the first time entirely free of the prison of flesh and bone, life, and death. One has become a citizen of eternity. Give respect to that part of yourself that is being born with the so-called new age. Love that child within. Nurture it within your heart’s womb. Talk to it. Cherish it. Nurture it. And as you cherish the growing awareness of who you truly are you open your eyes at the present moment, and there is your service before you, precisely there. It may distress you. It may be a pile of dirty dishes. It may be a discipline problem with a child. It may be digging a hole. It may be anything whatsoever. If it is done in love and compassion and respect for this experience right now, it is the greatest service you could ever perform. For you are being an entity that approaches the illusion fearlessly and lovingly.
Thus, we consider meditation quite essential. We also consider that as you meditate and grow in knowledge you then have a responsibility to share what you know with others in whatever path may seem to be open to you. As we have said, the path may be big or small, it may be dramatic, or it may be unnoticed. It may be public or quite private, but whatever it is, it will be your intention to give love and be of service in your little corner of the universe. You see, meditation and a life of service go hand in hand. We do not suggest meditating for hours each day, for such meditation is valuable only to those who have forsaken the world and have determined to make meditation their life. If you wish to do this, this is permissible. But you were, after all, put into this world to use your hands, and your mind, and your voice for the good of mankind. See to it, therefore, that you see and do and say that which you have come to understand in the silence of meditation.
Hatonn continued by saying we consider meditation essential, and we also consider that as you meditate and grow in knowledge you then have a responsibility to share what you know with others in whatever path may seem to be open to you, for the path may be big or small; it may be dramatic; or it may be unnoticed; it may be public or private, but whatever it is, it will be your intention to give love and be of service in your corner of the universe, for meditation and a life of service go hand in hand, but we do not suggest meditating for hours each day, for such meditation is valuable only to those who have forsaken the world and have determined to make meditation their life, but if you wish to do this, this is permissible, but you were put into this world to use your hands, your mind, and your voice for the good of mankind, so see to it that you see, and do, and say that which you have come to understand in the silence of meditation. On February 18, 2007, Q’uo spoke of the value of our meditation:
And as you live out your life you discover what you are learning as it shows up in your thinking. And many are the epiphanies and “aha’s” of a spiritual life in which the seeker is content to let this teaching occur mostly in the silence of meditation, contemplation, and the deep resting in whatever practices create for you personally a sacred chamber in which to tell the secrets of your heart to the loving ears of the one infinite Creator.
You are consciousness. It is not something you possess. It is not a characteristic of you. Consciousness lives your life to the extent you can get the details of your personality out of the way. And yet the details of your personality are all valuable. Therefore, the perfectly natural desire of the intensely devoted student to cast aside the personality and devote the self entirely to the silence is, for most entities, a solution that shall not be satisfying. For most entities, each coloration and quirk of the personality is there for a reason. Each seeming challenge, difficulty and sorrow that occurs in the life has been placed there not to make you stumble but to help you learn.
May we further answer your question, my sister?
Questioner: I am very, very thankful. You’ve said just the right thing for me.
Hatonn: We are very happy, my sister. Is there another question now?
Questioner: Can you tell me if my son is going to meet the girl that is right for him soon or if ever?
Hatonn: No. We are sending through this instrument, however, a general thought that may give you comfort. We are aware of your concern, and we cannot remove ourselves from our philosophical mission to give you specific advice about matters which have to do with free will, for this we cannot intrude upon in your daily existence. However, may we send you words of comfort and give you to understand that the entity of whom you speak is well-protected and whatever difficulties he may have will be helpful to him. This is not always easy to accept when you wish more than anything to take on another person’s difficulties and to make things be well for one whom you love. But this is not the way of the Creator. For each soul has its own path and will follow it. But it is truly written in your holy works that you are not given more than you can bear. It is also truly written that the Creator is always with those who speak of Its name. Indeed, the Creator is with all, my friends. We are sorry we cannot accede to your request for information, but it is outside our guidelines. Please accept our apologies, my sister.
Questioner: Thank you.
Hatonn: Is there another question?
[Pause]
Hatonn: Does the one known as S wish to reserve his question for another time?
S: I will reserve it. Thank you.
Hatonn: We respect your privacy, my brother. My friends, it is a singular joy, as always, to be allowed to share our thoughts with you. We are very grateful for your love, and we send you ours unstintingly. For those of you who have needs for healing, we ask that you call upon us, for there are those in the Confederation who work with healing vibrations, and we will be happy to work with you. We have no wish to manipulate your people, but how we yearn, my friends, to give you rest from your labor and a happy end to your troubles. Meditate, my friends, and these things will not only be possible but will be part of your life. We leave you in a life that is filled with joy and peace. Join us, my friends. It is available to you at any time and we await you with eagerness.
I am Hatonn. I leave you in the Love and the Light of the One who is All. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning Heidi and I drove over to the house on Watterson Trail where Don, Carla, and I lived when we were so blessed to have contact with those of the social memory complex of Ra. From the driveway and then the side road we could see the Ra room, Don’s bedroom, and Carla’s bedroom. Then we drove to the Village Anchor where Heidi treated me to dinner.
This afternoon I used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters on the pump because the height of the fountain had gone down due to a buildup of algae in the filters.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
September 19
The Very Stuff Of Love
I am of the principle of the Love of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.
Has it seemed strange that you suffer and still you live? That so many things occur, and yet you are capable of experiencing each thing? Have you wondered, “Where is the room for all the memories, all the feelings of a lifetime?”
Those feelings, and memories, and biases are of the very stuff of Love, for they express the Love which each has been able to manifest. Cradled gently within the being lies an infinity of remembrance.
There is nothing through which you cannot go. There is no action too harsh for memory to turn the harshness to lessons learned, new visions perceived, and new challenges accepted.
How very much more you are than you are aware! We call you to an awareness of your larger self and hope that we may inspire in you such deeds as the Creator and you have placed before you this day.
We leave you in quiet confidence and peace, in the Love of Jesus the Christ, now and forevermore. 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.
