I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling today comes from July 12, 1981:
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to greet each of you and we do so with Love and with joy.
We would speak to you this evening about the process of allowing that channel which is within you to flow without blockage, that channel for the original Thought which, when blocked, can cause such great misery and confusion among your people. When we observe the belief systems of your particular societal patterns, we find a frightening situation. In each area of the common social life and in each personal area there is the concept of failure or success. In your cultural patterns there is a strong drive to succeed. Thus, those who, by the standards of your society, garner great amounts of that which you call money, power, or prestige, are admired simply because they have succeeded and those whose accomplishments are modest in the eyes of the society are looked upon with kindness or with pity, but not with admiration, in spite of the fact, my friends, that this is all an illusion. You cannot know whether the work that you are doing in order to garner your money is succeeding. You can only do it with Love. You cannot judge yourself, nor can anyone judge you with any accuracy whatsoever. For it is the Love in your work, not the remuneration, that will affect your eternal self.
In your people at this time there is tremendous turmoil, and many people feel the pressure to succeed by means of relationships. Those who have many friends or a devoted spouse are considered great successes in their personal lives. Those whose relationships end in separation or who, because they are loners, have not gathered about themselves a great many of acquaintances are considered—with kindness or with pity—as those who simply somehow failed to make a personal success of the personal side of life, and yet again, my friends, it is not the length of relationships, the number of relationships; it is the Love given and received between yourself and strangers, enemies, acquaintances, friends, lovers, mates, family, any self whatsoever, that accounts for the true value of your personal channel of Love, for it is in giving that you receive. Not in this illusion, my friends, but in that which remains your eternal spirit.
In this session Hatonn wanted to let us know how we can become channels for the Love of the Creator. They began by saying we would speak to you about the process of allowing that channel which is within you to flow without blockage, that channel for the original Thought which, when blocked, can cause such confusion among your people, so when we observe the belief systems of your societal patterns, we find a frightening situation, for in each area of the common social life there is the concept of failure or success, and in your cultural patterns there is a strong drive to succeed, and those who, by the standards of your society, acquire great amounts of money and power are admired because they have succeeded, and those whose accomplishments are modest in the eyes of the society are looked upon with kindness or with pity, but not with admiration, in spite of the fact that this is all an illusion, so you cannot know whether the work that you are doing in order to acquire your money is succeeding, for you can only do it with Love, but you cannot judge yourself, nor can anyone judge you with any accuracy whatsoever, for it is the Love in your work, not the money, that will affect your eternal self. Then Hatonn said in your people there is tremendous turmoil, and many people feel the pressure to succeed by means of relationships, and those who have many friends or a devoted mate are considered successes in their personal lives, but those whose relationships end in separation or who, because they are loners, have not gathered about themselves many friends are considered—with kindness or with pity—as those who failed to make a success of the personal side of life, and yet it is not the length of relationships or the number of relationships; it is the Love given and received between yourself and strangers, enemies, friends, family, or any self whatsoever, that accounts for the true value of your personal channel of Love, for it is in giving that you receive, but not in this illusion but in that which remains your eternal spirit. On April 14, 1996, Q’uo spoke of how we can become channels of Love:
Yet the one who is able to be a witness of Light, the one who is able, if you will, to be a channel of Love, that effort and that desire to serve has reached its greatest apex. If one wishes then to accelerate the speed or rate at which one evolves spiritually then one simply attempts to spend time and attention on Love in daily meditation, listening to the silence within. One enters the inner sanctum of one’s own heart, and one feeds there on that life-giving water that ends thirst. And as one becomes able to, one attempts more and more to see each moment as a moment in the silence, to see that all is perfect beneath that surface noise and confusion that characterize mortal, human kind.
In your religious lives you may have been familiar as children and some yet abide in a system which states that there is a judgment and that some will succeed and some will fail. What are the conditions for that judgment? In your holy works the answer is not clear, for the master known as Jesus erased the concept of morality, as you would call it, as the prerequisite for success, by the forgiveness which he showed to sinners, as your holy works called those who for some reason were not serving others to the best of their ability. This is frightening, my friends. This illusion places upon you a desire to succeed in that which is the most infinitely important of all areas, the spiritual. How does one know if one is among those who will be with the Creator? How can one monitor one’s behavior so as to be sure of this eventuality? It is easy for us to say to you that you can monitor your behavior, but we must at this point stop and say to you, my friends, there is no success or failure. There is no judgment. There is, in each of you, the Creator. This Creator seeks to express Itself through you in whatever way that It may, to a world much unused to the original Thought.
Thus, my friends, many, many values which are subjectively clear to you seem ineffectual or even perverted when offered freely, gladly, and lovingly to a world that does not believe that there are those who wish to Love without gain of any kind, who wish to Love without succeeding, who would be glad to fail in the eyes of the world if, through that mechanism, ove could best be channeled. As you find the blockages in your minds and in your hearts, turn within to the original Thought, for it, my friends, is simple, unlike your paradoxical illusion with its great ideas of success and its poor ideas of failure. There is a comfort in knowing that you cannot run out of spiritual food. You cannot be hungry; you cannot be thirsty, for you have only to turn within. To you can be opened the secrets of your birthright—the fire of Love, its joy, and its power and the radiance of the whole creation as it echoes the praises of the one unity which is all of us, my friends. Let your hearts be soothed, and when you hear the thoughts of others or the thoughts of yourself regarding the success or failure of an enterprise, of a relationship, of your own behavior, seek the comfort of the original Thought. There is work for you to do. The world may think it poor. That is nothing. It is what you feel in your heart that is all-important, for the heart is informed in meditation of many, many things far too mysterious for words, and the attempt to speak them can be but a paltry one.
Hatonn went on to say in your religious lives you may have been familiar with as children that some exist in a system which states that there is a judgment, and that some will succeed, and some will fail, so what are the conditions for that judgment? Hatonn said in your Bible the answer is not clear, for the master Jesus erased the concept of morality as the prerequisite for success by the forgiveness which He showed to sinners, as the Bible called those who were not serving others to the best of their ability, and this is frightening, for this illusion places upon you a desire to succeed in that which is the most infinitely important of all areas, the spiritual, so: “How does one know if one is among those who will be with the Creator? How can one monitor one’s behavior so as to be sure of this eventuality?” Then Hatonn said it is easy for us to say that you can monitor your behavior, but we must at this point stop and say there is no success or failure, and there is no judgment because there is, in each of you, the Creator that seeks to express Itself through you in whatever way that It may, to a world unused to the original Thought. Now Hatonn said many values which are subjectively clear to you seem ineffectual when offered freely and lovingly to a world that does not believe that there are those who wish to Love without gain of any kind, and as you find the blockages in your minds and in your hearts, turn within to the original Thought, for it is simple, unlike your paradoxical illusion with its ideas of success and its poor ideas of failure, so take comfort in knowing that you cannot run out of spiritual food, for you have only to turn within, so you can be open to the secrets of your birthright: the fire of Love, its joy, and its power and the radiance of the creation as it echoes the praises of the one unity which is all of us, so let your hearts be soothed, and when you hear the thoughts of others or of yourself regarding the success or failure of a relationship or your own behavior, seek the comfort of the original Thought, for there is work for you to do which the world may think is poor, but it is what you feel in your heart that is important, for the heart is informed in meditation of many things too mysterious for words, and the attempt to speak them can be but a small one. On August 16, 1979, Hatonn spoke of the value of our doing what we feel in our heart:
There will come before you things to do. You each have your own talents. They are each different and unique. You cannot be anyone but yourself. Yet, in your own way, you can be one who shows Love. There is an infinity of ways to show Love. It is your own judgment that will help you to know what your opportunities are, what you can and cannot do. But when you see an opportunity, my friends, turn it not down, but go forward. You will feel in your heart that which is right, and only can know the feelings of your heart.
What a treasure you have, my friends. What a wonderful treasure room is locked within you. There is no limitation and no difficulty that can remove the key to that treasure room from your hand. Feel merry then, my friends, and with utmost gladness seek the original Thought, that fire that blew upon creation and formed the planets in their courses, the suns in all their brilliance, the galaxies in their splendor and your tiny, delicate, island home, your Earth. You are inheritors of the splendor of creation. And as you channel that Love and that Light, you are co-creators with it. Be of good cheer. Understood or reviled, if your work is as it should be within your heart, there is nothing that can truly sway you to the quick, for you are covered in light.
Then Hatonn said what a wonderful treasure room is locked within you, and there is no difficulty that can remove the key to that treasure room from your hand, so feel merry, and with gladness seek the original Thought, that fire that blew upon creation and formed the planets in their courses, the suns in all their brilliance, the galaxies in their splendor and your tiny Earth, for you are inheritors of the splendor of creation, and as you channel that Love and Light you are co-Creators with it, so be of good cheer whether you are understood or reviled, for if your work is as it should be within your heart, there is nothing that can truly sway you, for you are covered in Light. On March 24, 1985, Hatonn said that we are co-Creators:
We speak with old souls, and we are old souls, for we were all at the beginning of this creation. And it is all of us, and all of you, and all those upon your planetary sphere who shall fashion for themselves a way of being, a way of living, a way of adoring, and caring, and chiding, and feeling affection, and being afraid, of being sad, a way of living and dying.
All of these things you fashion and shall continue to fashion, each in your own way, for you are co-Creators of your mutual destinies, you who walk together upon this road. This road is as a seamless garment, a skin, shall we say. There is no hole or broken place within the fabric of your spirit or your spirit’s experiences within this illusion. Many things may seem to be broken and need to be made whole, but in fact, this is illusion, not the reality. It is for this reason that occasionally miracles, so-called, do occur.
We would leave this instrument at this time and after a brief pause, while our brothers and sisters of Laitos pass among you to offer their services to you in the deepening of the meditative state, we will transfer to another instrument. I am Hatonn.
[Pause]
(Carla channeling)
I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn, and will speak a few more words through this instrument while we are conditioning the other instrument so that he may be in the proper state.
To observe those who are successes is not, by this token, to observe those who have somehow became derailed from the spiritual path, for those who have garnered your monies, your positions, and your prestige are in a position to share with many that which is their channel, that which is their way of expressing Love. It is simply to say that, also, those who participate in the rearing of children, those who in their personal lives are kind to those some may find it difficult to show kindness to, those who serve in jobs considered lowly, with dedication and Love, are creating for themselves the same bias, in the infinite sense. It is this thought that you may grasp and move forward using, no matter what your position, no matter what your thoughts about your life. It is an illusion designed to give you opportunities to find Love in each experience and to freely give it forth. Again, I will leave this instrument and transfer this contact. I am known to you as Hatonn.
(Jim channeling)
I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. We have been having some difficulty contacting this instrument as well as the one known as Don. We shall proceed through this instrument at this time. We would now like to offer ourselves in the attempt to answer any questions that you might have. Are there any questions at this time?
M: Can Hatonn give us any guidance on how we can recognize—with efforts toward success of one type or another, say success in society versus success spiritually—when they’re conflicting with each other?
I am Hatonn. My brother, we would say to you that you recognize the success of the spiritual journey, if we will use that term, and you will accept it as the task of each entity upon your plane. The success of the spiritual journey has one mark and one mark only in this density, and that is the mark of Love, the acceptance of all about you as part of the Creator, the giving and receiving of Love as the gift of the Creator. When you see any part of this mark in your life, in whatever direction you are seeking at that time, know that you are achieving, what might be called upon your plane, a successful journey. When you do not find Love in your life, in your endeavors, in your activities, you may take this as a sign that you are, perhaps shall we say, embarking upon an empty journey or goal. It is not difficult, my friends, to recognize Love, for when you, yourself, come in contact with that which is Love you shall know it, for it shall enlarge your field of perception. Within your mind it shall enlarge your capacity to feel the glory of the creation within your heart, and it shall be unmistakable to the depths of your very being.
M asked: “Can Hatonn give us any guidance on how we can recognize—with efforts toward success of one type or another, say success in society versus success spiritually—when they’re conflicting with each other?” Haton replied by saying you recognize the success of the spiritual journey, and you will accept it as the task of each entity upon your plane, for the success of the spiritual journey has one mark only in this density, and that is the mark of Love, the acceptance of all about you as part of the Creator, the giving and receiving of Love as the gift of the Creator, so when you see any part of this mark in your life, know that you are achieving a successful journey, but when you do not find Love in your life you may take this as a sign that you are embarking upon an empty journey, and it is not difficult to recognize Love, for when you come in contact with that which is Love you shall know it, for it shall enlarge your field of perception, and within your mind it shall enlarge your capacity to feel the glory of the creation within your heart, and it shall be unmistakable to the depths of your very being. On June 19, 2021, Q’uo spoke about the nature of our spiritual journey:
The type of mental concentration that is necessary to produce a stillness within the mind, within the body, that opens unto the spirit is a type of concentration which focuses the mind upon a single point that may become the All in All, shall we say.
The concentration that focuses consciousness through the mind to be experienced as stillness is a concentration which calls upon the seeker of truth to release all attachments to the outer world for the time of the experience of the focus into one point so that there are no extraneous requirements or experiences that the seeker is subject to for the period of concentration.
This type of focus may be likened unto the overall nature of the spiritual journey for any conscious seeker of truth, for as you move through your third-density illusion, there is much that is extraneous to the purpose of seeking and serving the one in all the various types of control that you have mentioned earlier. Through the political, the social, the religious systems are those areas where there is a kind of enslavement of the mind to that exterior purpose of various institutions and entities which would remove the ability to focus one’s spiritual journey in a manner which allows an entity to express its inner awareness of the Creator within the self and within all other selves. The spiritual journey itself is a focus of extreme precision that recognizes that the One Infinite Creator exists in all, that this is to be recognized as the foundation of all creation and of all consciousness.
May we answer you further, my brother?
M: No, thank you.
Hatonn: We, as always, thank you. May we ask if there is another question at this time?
Carla: Yes. Just following up what M said—if there seemed to be a clear cut problem, where a job seemed to be requiring a great deal of time, and the harmonies in the job were such as to seemingly drain one of the Love—of the channel of Love—is this necessarily in conflict with the spiritual path, or is this a challenge for more opening of the channel in that difficult situation?
I am Hatonn. My sister, we would answer by saying that in truth, there are no conflicts on the path of Love, for as you have correctly surmised yourself, each activity or each supposed conflict is but a further opportunity to find Love, to express Love, to share Love, to be the heart of Love. Those situations which appear to be the most, in what you may call, conflict with this seeking of the sharing of Love, are those situations which offer the most opportunity for the finding and the sharing of Love, for there are no accidents or mistakes upon your plane, no truly misdirected avenues. Each path that any entity might take has the possibility of providing Love. There is nothing but Love, whatever density an entity may inhabit, and this, my sister, is most certainly true of this density which each of you inhabit at this time.
May we answer you further, my sister?
Carla: No thank you, Hatonn. That was very eloquent and most satisfactory.
Hatonn: Again, we thank you. May we be of assistance in any other queries at this time?
Carla: I have a question which you probably can’t answer, but I have been attempting to surrender the control over my life totally to the Creator, and I have found it difficult because my personality is one which is much given to arrangements and control over circumstance, and in the past I have been good at it, which adds to the difficulty of letting go. Is there any specific exercise or visualization that I might do in addition to the meditations I am already doing, with which you are helping, to my great gratitude?
I am Hatonn. My sister, we would say to you that this journey which you have chosen for yourself in this life is not what might be called an easy one. As we have said before in the previous answer, difficulties, as they are known to your people, are merely opportunities offering greater service to others in a sharing of Love. The service which you perform at this time in your working is a service which requires a great surrendering. We know that this surrendering is not easy for any among your people, for upon your planet the control of the situation round about each entity is most sought, and control is the concept which pervades your planet most fully at this time.
For yourself as an individual entity upon this planet attempting to be of service, you have achieved, as you know, a great deal of surrender, yet there is more surrender which you seek and which shall be of aid to you in the work that you are now undertaking. In this effort to surrender we would simply suggest to you—the most we are able to suggest—that is, that in each moment you attempt to be totally conscious of your efforts as a channel, your efforts to open completely to remove control, to be completely free of obstructions, of thoughts of busyness, of thoughts of doing anything but what you at the moment feel the Creator would wish you to do. We can say no more, for as you know, we are most desirous of maintaining free will among each of your people at this time.
May we answer you further in any other way, my sister?
Carla: No, thank you Hatonn.
Hatonn: Again, we thank you. May we attempt to answer any other questions at this time?
Carla: Is Latwii off on assignment, or were they called to this group by a certain individual like E? I was wondering why they have been absent for some time?
Hatonn: I am Hatonn. Our brothers and sisters of Latwii are of the vibration of Light and have a specific purpose, as each in the Confederation has, and their sharings with those of your people who call in a certain way for their services. We of Hatonn are of the vibration of Love and at this time in your group it has been assessed that Love is the vibration which is most called, that which is most needed, and that which would be of the most service to each of the entities of your group and to your group as a unit. For this reason, we have remained with your group. We would also say that those of Latwii are in the wings, so to speak, and it is correct that when certain entities, such as the one known as E, are with this group, it is from time to time enough of a change in the calling, shall we say, so that those of Latwii might blend their vibrations with this group in addition to those which we offer as our sharing of Love.
May we answer you further, my sister?
Carla: No. Thank you. That’s really interesting.
Hatonn: Again, we thank you. May we answer any other questions at this time?
[Pause]
I am Hatonn. Once again, my friends, may we say it has been the greatest of privileges, the greatest of pleasures to join you this evening in your meditation. We would remind each of you that we are most willing to be with each of you in your meditation at any time which you should choose to call us. We of Hatonn seek in every way possible to share that understanding which we have gained through our own seeking of the one Creator, that understanding which is known to your peoples as Love. We are known to you as Hatonn, and we leave you now in that Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.
This morning I went outside and discovered that the reason that the height of the fountain was only a couple of inches was that, once again, the motor for the fountain had come loose from the tube that leads to the fountain. So, I used a box cutter to remove the duct tape from the motor and the tube that leads to the fountain. Then I began the process of taping the tube to the motor so that the tube was connected to the motor with more layers of tape where the tube connected to the motor and gradually reducing the layers for about a foot. Then I applied super glue to the layers of duct tape to hold them as securely as possible.
This afternoon I went back outside and put the motor in the schemer to see if the fountain worked, and it did. So, I got the small pump and garden hose and pumped out about three-fourths of the water out of the fishpond. While the water was being pumped out, I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves in the front yard into the pile of leaves along the parking area in front of my home. Then I used the garden hose to begin refilling the fishpond with water. While the fishpond was being filled with water, I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves from parking area next to the pet cemetery, the area of the pet cemetery, and the area between the pet cemetery and the fishpond into the area along the north side of the driveway. Then I threw two cups of AquaSafe into the fishpond to neutralize the chlorine in the water.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
November 17
Rise Up Today
I am the Spirit of the consciousness of Love in the vibration which comforts this instrument. I greet you in the name of that Love and in the Christhood that is the birthright of all.
I ask those of you with stubborn and resilient hearts to rise up, not only this day but every day, realizing the morning of your strength, the noon of your eagerness, the evening of your peace and the nighttime of your content, dwelling in the house of the Lord.
I ask you to rise up and become citizens of the kingdom for which you yearn, that you may transform each perception of the mundane that comes before you into that of the heavenly. For this you must gird your loins and put on the battle armor of a caring and redemptive warrior.
May you go forth to wage peace everlasting. 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.
