I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from June 29, 1986:
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 and pleasure to mingle our energies with yours at this time, and we would greet especially the one known as L, as this entity has not sat in physical proximity with this group for some time. We send Love and blessings to each of you and are most grateful to be able to share our humble thoughts with you. The evening that spreads about you at this gentle, quiet moment glistens with beauty and throbs with the heartbeat of many lives as we experience it through the ears of this channel. We find it to be most wonderful, and we thank you also for this experience.
We would share some thoughts with you this evening upon the subject of freedom. Freedom is very much in each entity’s consciousness at this particular moment in your solar year. Amongst you who call yourself Americans, you celebrate your independence and your freedom, the freedom that has been defined as “the pursuit of happiness.” Indeed, my friends, the nature of freedom in third density is in large part social. We would emphasize that this is true in more and more full a measure as your cycle draws near to harvest. How is this so? It would seem upon the surface of it that the nature of freedom is intensely personal and individual. One’s inner freedom is to make one’s own choices of thoughts and ideas, to choose the manner of one’s agenda of living, and in all ways to pursue what shall enlarge happiness. And yet we would suggest to you that the deeper nature of freedom is no such thing. You have heard countless times that the Creator manifested Itself as Love—but what is Love? You know that you are in pursuit of something called truth—but what is truth? The nature of Love is such that it has created consciousness that is self-conscious. Each of you is Love, thus each of you is the Creator. As the Creator is Love, so therefore are you Love. How then, we ask, does love seek truth?
Love chooses betwixt Love of self and Love of other self. We speak to those who are upon the path in which Love is manifested as Love of self and other self as self. If that were a mathematical equation, all the selves would be struck out and what you would have left with is the equation: service to others’ self is Love manifested towards other selves. We ask that you ponder this not once, but many times, for the truth in this statement is not immediately apparent. In no way do we suggest a lack of Love for self; we suggest only that other selves are loved as the self. And what does this have to do with freedom?
In this session Hatonn spoke of the concept of freedom. They began by saying we would share some thoughts with you this evening upon the subject of freedom, for freedom is in each entity’s consciousness at this moment in your solar year, and among you who call yourself Americans, you celebrate your freedom, the freedom that has been defined as “the pursuit of happiness,” and the nature of freedom in third density is in large part social, so we would emphasize that this is true in a full measure as your cycle draws near to harvest, but it would seem upon the surface that the nature of freedom is personal, for one’s inner freedom is to make one’s choices of thoughts, and to pursue what shall enlarge happiness, yet we would suggest to you that the deeper nature of freedom is no such thing, so you have heard that the Creator manifested Itself as Love, but: “What is Love? You know that you are in pursuit of something called truth, but what is truth? The nature of Love is such that it has created consciousness that is self-conscious. Each of you is Love, thus each of you is the Creator. As the Creator is Love, so therefore are you Love. How then, we ask, does Love seek truth?” Hatonn continued by saying Love chooses betwixt Love of self and Love of other self, and we speak to those who are upon the path in which Love is manifested as Love of self and other self as self, so if that were a mathematical equation, all the selves would be struck out, and what you would have left is the equation: service to others’ self is Love manifested towards other selves, but we ask that you ponder this many times, for the truth in this statement is not immediately apparent, yet in no way do we suggest a lack of Love for self, but we suggest that other selves are Loved as the self, and what does this have to do with freedom? On May 16, 1993, Latwii spoke of the concept of freedom:
The concept of allowing the self to move along the path of evolution in a free and open manner is a concept which has meaning to an entity which works with the blue-ray energy center of the throat. Such a configuration of energy is then experienced by the seeker in a manner which promotes the clear communication of the self with the self and with other selves, accepting the self and other selves, and freely expressing the self to all which surround the self. In this manner, the giving of freedom and acceptance to others springs from the giving of freedom and acceptance to the self, for you are also a mirror and reflect that which is your being to those about you.
Therefore, as you seek to move freely along your path of evolution, you shall also give that freedom to others and shall inspire such freedom to those who come in contact with you. It is therefore helpful to consider the deeper ramifications and implications of such a message as you meditate upon it that you might continually refine that journey that lies before you and which you have long traveled, making refinement upon refinement. And as you continue upon this journey, you shall find those messages arising from within your deeper self to be more and more frequent, more and more clearly perceived.
You are given freedom in totality. There is no holding back upon the part of the Creator; there are no hidden loopholes or clauses. You are free. You are free to do nothing. You are free to work diligently upon a personal agenda which has no contact with other selves. You are free to create a rigid agenda in which things for the self and things for the other self are compartmented. You are free to throw yourself into service of other selves at every available opportunity, whether service is requested or not. And finally, you are free to leave yourself open to the potential for the opportunity of being of service to others whenever that opportunity is offered. We have found the more virtue in the latter course, and this brings us to freedom.
For what we are suggesting may seem upon the surface many times to smack not of freedom, but of slavery. Let us observe slavery among your people. There is no time, as you call it, in the history that you know in which humans have not been slaves. There is a reason for that and that is this. To some, happiness—that happiness which is the manifestation of freedom—lies in seeing a loved one happy, in tending a loved one’s hurts, in tending and encouraging a loved one in distress. Many are those even now who are in actuality slaves against their will. This is not that of which we speak. We speak of those who Love their masters and who are Loved in return and who, therefore, find happiness in service. Were slavery uniformly disagreeable to all, it would be attempted unceasingly, but it would be found to be counterproductive. It is those happy combinations which insure that slavery, whether traditional or untraditional, as in some marriage relationships, endures.
Then Hatonn said you are given freedom in totality, and there is no holding back upon the part of the Creator, and you are free to do nothing, or you are free to work upon a personal agenda which has no contact with other selves, or you are free to create a rigid agenda in which things for the self and things for the other self are compartmented, or you are free to throw yourself into service of other selves at every available opportunity, whether service is requested or not, and you are free to leave yourself open to the potential for the opportunity of being of service to others whenever that opportunity is offered, so we have found more virtue in the latter course, and this brings us to freedom. Hatonn said what we are suggesting may seem upon the surface to speak not of freedom, but of slavery, so let us observe slavery among your people, for there is no time in which humans have not been slaves, and the reason for that is to some is that happiness, which is the manifestation of freedom, lies in seeing a loved one happy and in encouraging a loved one in distress, for many are slaves against their will, but we speak of those who Love their masters, and who are Loved in return, and who find happiness in service, so were slavery disagreeable to all, it would be attempted unceasingly, but it would be found to be counterproductive, for it is those happy combinations which insure that slavery, whether traditional or untraditional, as in some marriage relationships, endures. On July 6, 1986, Q’uo described the nature of slavery today:
As the energies of the Light move through the lower three energy centers and begin to approach the heart energy center or chakra, and that which is known as Love or compassion begins to be activated within the individual and group consciousness, the ideals of liberty and equality then become paramount in a form which begins in a distorted fashion, for those who have long labored under the bonds of some form of slavery or have found themselves in a service to others which was not chosen but which was, shall we say, dictated to them. The desire for freedom and equality bursts forth in a fashion which first is quite gross and unrefined in its nature. Thus, the various tendencies towards retribution in the form of revolution begin to develop, and within this framework of transformational change that is somewhat of a chaotic nature, then those gardeners, or shepherds, shall we say, that you have called the wanderers move in order to lend their assistance in a fashion which does not infringe upon the free will of those whom they have come to serve.
Thus, the incarnational entrance into your illusion is chosen in order that only the bias to serve be remembered, and thus the service is offered as an equal to those who call for it. Thus, the concepts of liberty and equality are born in a season that is the result of a great span of experience of both the individual and collected consciousnesses of the people of your planet.
Now we are not suggesting that you choose a master and become a slave. Indeed, the scope is somewhat small in that suggestion, although it is not that learning and growth in the metaphysical sense would not be possible in this configuration of personalities. Rather, we are suggesting that freedom lies in the concept of oneself as a manifester of servanthood to any and all who cross the path. Circumstances cannot be predicted by most among your peoples, and there are many surprises that await you, many unbidden and hitherto unheard of possibilities for service, and we would encourage you in this context to think of service in terms of slavery, for one of the great paradoxes of the spiritual search is that freedom and that service which approaches what you call slavery are both paradoxical and synonymous, for the totally dedicated entity, having heard the call to seek the truth, moves forth upon the path without looking back, and whatever the circumstances, looks for the opportunity to hear a call for help. When such an opportunity is perceived, it is then that the seeker offers itself in service, not condescendingly or patronizingly but as servant to all. And if all are servants to all, then where shall be contention? And if all serve all, where is slavery?
The concept of service carries with it a semantic burden, a connotation of unhappiness or degradation of self. We ask you to consider the possibility that slavery, surrounded and infused with joy, is perfect freedom. Service by itself shall always be a duty and shall not feel like freedom at all. Yes, you may learn many, many lessons without joy. It is the willing openness to the finding of peace and joy in the concept of the self as a servant which opens one to a freedom beyond that of human freedom. For in human freedom, you attempt to please yourself and gain happiness, and yet the happiness is caught up entirely in the pursuit and the goal is never truly attained. Not for those upon the path of service to others, and we again emphasize we are speaking to that group and not to those who follow the service-to-self path, against which we say nothing except that we are not those upon that path and do not presume to teach upon that path.
Now Hatonn said we are not suggesting that you choose a master and become a slave since the scope is small in that suggestion, although it is not that learning and growth in the metaphysical sense would not be possible in this configuration of personalities, but we are suggesting that freedom lies in the concept of oneself as a manifester of servanthood to any and all who cross the path, yet circumstances cannot be predicted by most of your people, and there are many unheard of possibilities for service, and we would encourage you in this context to think of service in terms of slavery, for one of the paradoxes of the spiritual search is that freedom and that service which approaches slavery are both paradoxical and synonymous, for the totally dedicated entity, having heard the call to seek the truth, moves forth upon the path without looking back, and whatever the circumstances, looks for the opportunity to hear a call for help, and when such an opportunity is perceived, then the seeker offers itself in service, as a servant to all, and if all serve all, where is slavery? Now Hatonn said the concept of service carries with it a connotation of unhappiness of the self, so we ask you to consider the possibility that slavery, surrounded and infused with joy, is perfect freedom, for service shall always be a duty and shall not feel like freedom at all, for you may learn many lessons without joy, so it is the willing openness to finding peace and joy in the concept of the self as a servant which opens one to a freedom beyond that of human freedom, for in human freedom you attempt to please yourself and gain happiness, yet the happiness is caught up in the pursuit, and the goal is never attained, but not for those upon the path of service to others, and we again emphasize we are speaking to that group and not to those who follow the service-to-self path. On February 7, 1993, Q’uo spoke about the nature of freedom:
We would ask each to reflect upon freedom, the freedom of the self, and attempt to see where this freedom comes from. If one is free in a chaotic way, one will either be random or somewhat destructive, than somewhat positive. However, if a deeper singularity of self is sought, a deeper connection with unity, then many puzzle pieces which are not relevant to your decision-making can fall away, and the true nature of the decision lies then uncovered in far more simplicity. The connection between freedom and the basic decision of serving the infinite One shall give your heart a strong structure and the best possible way to seek the understanding to move forward in support of your own spiritual evolution. Because this is far from obvious, we simply wish to emphasize this consideration.
We ask you to glance back over your life experiences within this incarnation and look at the fruits of the seeking of personal happiness as “master of your fate and captain of your ship.” We suggest that some of these fruits may include anger, frustration, jealousy, licentiousness, quarrelsomeness and dejection. We ask you now to consider the many times each of you has, indeed, sacrificed the self seemingly as servant of another when that other was in need. Remember doing all that you could and more, and feel again the peace that comes from knowing that you have done all that you can and that you shall continue and the joy that comes when in any small thing another self turns to you and says, “Truly I have asked you and truly you have served.” And so, the fruits of service to others, though challenging to accomplish, are joy and peace that no one can take from you unless you take them from yourself, for you only can undo the work that you have done within yourself. And on that point, we would admonish you not to judge yourself when you have served to the best of your ability. If you feel you could have done better, remember you have done all that you can and be again at peace and allow joy to enter your being.
Spiritual peace is a terrible thing in the parlance of what you might call your culture, the ethos into which you were born, for it is a peace that comes from having exhausted oneself in an effort to serve others and setting again one’s foot on the path, looking again for the next opportunity to serve, wherever it may be. Thus, one is at peace without having a spiritual contentment, shall we say, for you do not have a spiritual resting place in the sense that your body has a domicile. You are on a path. That path will continue, and you will be where you were not, and you will never be where you are now again. This is not so of those who do not attempt to become servants of others. The inner life for those who sleep is as stable as the outer, and a peace bound up in quiet dreaming is most glamorous and may take up an entire incarnation with no problem whatsoever for those who have not yet found the spark that sets them upon the path.
Hatonn continued by saying we ask you to glance back over your life experiences within this incarnation and look at the fruits of the seeking of personal happiness as the “master of your fate and captain of your ship,” and we suggest that some of these fruits may include anger, jealousy, and dejection, and we ask you to consider the many times each of you has sacrificed the self as servant of another when that other was in need, so remember doing all that you could and more, and feel the peace that comes from knowing that you have done all that you can, and that you shall continue and feel the joy that comes when another self turns to you and says, “Truly I have asked you, and truly you have served,” so the fruits of service to others, though challenging to accomplish, are joy and peace that no one can take from you unless you take them from yourself, for you only can undo the work that you have done within yourself, and we would suggest that you not judge yourself when you have served to the best of your ability, so if you feel you could have done better, remember you have done all that you can and be again at peace and allow joy to enter your being. Hatonn went on to say spiritual peace is a terrible thing in the language of your culture, for it is a peace that comes from having exhausted oneself in an effort to serve others and setting one’s foot on the path, looking for the next opportunity to serve, for one is at peace without having a spiritual contentment for you do not have a spiritual resting place in the sense that your body has a domicile since you are on a path that will continue, and you will be where you were not, and you will never be where you are now again, but this is not so of those who do not attempt to become servants of others because the inner life for those who sleep is as stable as the outer, and a peace bound up in quiet dreaming is most glamorous and may take up an entire incarnation with no problem whatsoever for those who have not found the spark that sets them upon the path. On November 5, 2021, Q’uo spoke of the nature of spiritual peace:
There is a dance that the entities who come to the theater to view such a performance are experiencing; they are watching a dance within the dance of their own life. And then, there is the greater universal dance going on all around them as well. In this way, we may point out that all levels of this dance are a thing of beauty, a thing of purpose, a thing of Love, in which, it is both an honor and a duty to experience and which leads to that ultimate place of growth, which we call, reconciliation, where all is reconciled, where there is a kind of spiritual peace that, through the activity and the beauty of the dance, each entity resolves, feels, and understands all parts of the experience that have contributed to the rising up of the entity through octave after octave of experience.
Spiritual joy can be a frightening thing, for it is a joy which has its roots in a Love that is mysterious, for it is the manifestation of a sense of the Creator which is mysterious. You may experience joy, but it is an unknown joy, an unspeakable joy, a happiness which is both silent and creative. In this regard we encourage you to remember that anything at which you look is not only the Creator but is also less than the Creator. We are fond of paradoxes, are we not? Let us clarify. The Creator is not only each tree, each stone, each bird, and each conscious entity. It is also the mystery that created these things. It is the invisible, the infinite. Why does it say in your holy works that the trees clap their hands and the mountains dance like rams? Does the Creator play so? You may look at it that way, but it is also possible to recognize the signs of worship and praise of a Creator that infuses all with ove and joy.
My friends, you are far more complex than trees and hills, and within yourselves you have many, many beings interpenetrating each other, communicating with each other, and forming one whole and conscious hologram of the Creator. And yet there is also that mystery which you seek that is beyond and within your consciousness. As you approach what you call your Independence Day, we ask you to gaze many times at the concept of freedom, for there are many metaphysical systems which indulge in a hedonism that suggests that the Creator shall be used as a panacea to achieve happiness, prosperity, health, and all manner of positive and comfortable things. We suggest to you that true happiness is often quite uncomfortable and yet so exhilarating that once having been experienced, it shall be the way you seek to manifest Love. Love one another, my friends. Serve one another. And find your freedom, your joy, and your peace. We ask your pardon for causing what we so enjoy, the sensations of third-density incarnation. You are so rich, my friends. Feel it. Such a wealth of things to hear, and see, and taste, and smell, and feel and all things servants to you, there for your learning, your contemplation and your discretion. Open, then, the doors of your heart and Love each other, and you will find yourself loving all manner of things and finding the life that you serve in every blade of grass.
Hatonn said spiritual joy can be a frightening thing, for it is a joy which has its roots in a Love that is mysterious, and it is the manifestation of a sense of the Creator which is mysterious, so you may experience joy, but it is an unknown joy, an unspeakable joy, a happiness which is both silent and creative, and in this regard we encourage you to remember that anything at which you look is not only the Creator but is also less than the Creator, for the Creator is not only each tree, each stone, each bird, and each conscious entity, but it is also the mystery that created these things, for It is the invisible, the infinite, so: “Why does it say in your Bible that the trees clap their hands and the mountains dance like rams? Does the Creator play so?” Then Hatonn said you may look at it that way, but it is also possible to recognize the signs of worship and praise of a Creator that infuses all with Love and joy. Hatonn continued by saying you are more complex than trees and hills, and within yourselves you have many beings communicating with each other, and forming one conscious hologram of the Creator, yet there is also that mystery which you seek that is beyond and within your consciousness, so as you approach Independence Day, we ask you to gaze at the concept of freedom, for there are many metaphysical systems which indulge in hedonism that suggests that the Creator shall be used as a panacea to achieve happiness and all manner of positive and comfortable things, but we suggest to you that happiness is uncomfortable and yet so exhilarating that once having been experienced, it shall be the way you seek to manifest Love, so Love and serve one another and find your freedom, your joy, and your peace, for all things are servants to you, there for your learning, so open the doors of your heart and Love each other, and you will find yourself loving all manner of things and finding the life that you serve in every blade of grass. On April 29, 1990, Q’uo said that we should Love each other:
And we say to each who may wish to walk with others in the service of the one infinite Creator, Love each other unconditionally; bide your words, bate your tongue, hold and release your judgments. Is not each attempting the very most it can attempt already? Have you not faith in each other to this extent, that you have faith each is attempting the impossible? You know it is impossible to act ideally in this illusion. The illusion is what you see. The illusion is what will form your actions, and they will be relative, not absolute. Again and again you yourselves shall perceive yourselves in error. Is it so strange you should perceive error in others also? But if you wish to work for Love, if you wish to serve in Love and Light, Love each other, care for each other, be for each other, advocate each other, burn with Love and passion for the portion of each that wishes to serve. Is this not beautiful? Is this not beyond the understanding?
We are known to you as Hatonn of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. We are, if you will, your slaves for the moment, and we are filled with great joy at the thought that we could have been of some service to you at this time. We do not know what you may be able to use from what we have said, and we ask you to discard anything that is not helpful to your development at this time. We do, indeed, hope that we have been of service, but we know only this we have offered, this channel has offered, and you have offered by listening. And all have been of service, one to another. We leave you in the love and the light of perfect freedom. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.
(Jim channeling)
I am Latwii, and we greet you in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We, too, are filled with joy at being able to join your group this evening, and we hope with our brothers and sisters of Hatonn that we may serve in some small way by attempting to answer those queries which each may find value in the asking. May we then without further delay begin with the first query this evening?
L: If I may be the person to read that, it would be a rather small inquiry from someone who isn’t here this evening, but is concerned about carrying on some positive work. The sale of a violin—although I know this may sound a little enigmatic, the exact wording of the question merely says, “Concerning the expediting of the sale of my violin, any suggestions?” I just would offer that in behalf of that person not here. [Inaudible] The name of the person is J.
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We find in this instance an entity who has for a great period of your time attempted to be of service through those avenues which have been opened unto this entity and the construction of the instrument which has been described as the violin has been of an inspirational nature which this entity has become aware of in an increasing fashion as a result of certain discoveries or revelations, shall we say, which have made this entity likened unto an instrument itself.
Thus, as those inspirations become available to the conscious mind of this entity through its increased desire to seek the truth and to serve others, this entity shall find its own directions continuing to be placed before its inner awareness. Therefore, we find it most helpful, we feel on our part, that we speak only in these general terms and urge the entity to redouble its own desires to seek and to serve, for these motivations are the key factors that will release into this entity’s awareness those actions, thoughts and attitudes that are most appropriate in providing the service through its own instrument and those which it manifests within the…
[Side one of tape ends.]
(Jim channeling)
I am Latwii, and am again with this instrument. May we answer in any further fashion, my brother?
L: I thank you for that reply. I think that certainly covers that question. If I may, I should perhaps, if I’m able, read the one other question from this same party that is perhaps more profound, difficult, and complex to reply to. I will again read it as he wrote it so as to pass it along, and it reads as follows: “Is the technique of endocrine chakra stabilization and detoxification a suitable modality as I’ve developed it in the treatment of AIDS; if not a cure, possibly a palliative?”
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We scan the information and trace the implications and may without infringing upon the free will of this entity suggest that the technique which it has devised to treat the condition that is known among your people as AIDS as being that which is at the basic level of understanding, if you will, sound. This initial beginning is that which with further study may be refined so that the basic process of balancing the entity’s centers of energy in the fashion described may be enhanced as the patterns of behavior are themselves traced into what you would call previous incarnational patterns. Thus, the scope of treatment would include not only the current incarnation, but would stretch back, as you would say, to include patterns developed in previous experiences which are of a significant enough nature to be carried over into the current incarnation in a symbolic fashion which then, when unattended by conscious work, provides the opportunity for increased conscious effort by taking a form of a disease or disjunction which requires immediate attention.
Thus, one area which may be fruitfully investigated is the heart chakra or energy center as the entity sees itself in relation to the creation about it and more specifically as it sees itself giving and receiving Love with the mate in the relationship which endures, shall we say. The relationship of mates, as you call them, is one which provides an entity with increased and intensified opportunities to learn and to teach, to give and to receive Love. And when accomplished over a significant portion of what you would call time and experience with the dedication of each to the other to be of this service, the lessons and patterns of programs within each entity may be attempted in a manner which is far more efficient than the kind of relationships which are constantly in change and motion with little stability or dedication to service.
L asked a question for a friend: “Is the technique of endocrine chakra stabilization and detoxification a suitable modality as I’ve developed it in the treatment of AIDS; if not a cure, possibly a palliative?” Latwii replied the technique which it has devised to treat AIDS as being that which is at the basic level of understanding sound, and this beginning is that which with further study may be refined, so that the basic process of balancing the entity’s centers of energy in the fashion described may be enhanced as the patterns of behavior are traced into previous incarnational patterns, and the scope of treatment would include not only the current incarnation, but would stretch back to include patterns developed in previous experiences which are of a significant enough nature to be carried over into the current incarnation in a symbolic fashion which then, when unattended by conscious work, provides the opportunity for increased conscious effort by taking a form of a disease which requires immediate attention. Then Latwii said one area which may be investigated is the heart chakra as the entity sees itself in relation to the creation about it, and as it sees itself giving and receiving Love with the mate in the relationship which endures, the relationship of mates is one which provides an entity with increased opportunities to learn and to teach, to give and to receive Love, and when accomplished over time and experience with the dedication of each to the other to be of this service, the lessons and patterns of programs within each entity may be attempted in a manner which is more efficient than the kind of relationships which are constantly in change with little dedication to service. In 22.1, Ra spoke of Carla’s dedication to service:
This instrument has spent a lifetime in dedication to service. This has brought this instrument to this nexus in space/time with the conscious and unconscious distortion towards service, with the further conscious distortion towards service by communication. Each time, as you would put it, that we perform this working our social-memory-complex-vibrational distortion meshes more firmly with this instrument’s unconscious distortions towards service. Thus, we are becoming a part of this instrument’s vibratory complex and it a part of ours. This occurs upon the unconscious level, the level whereby the mind has gone down through to the roots of consciousness which you may call cosmic.
May we answer further, my brother?
L: Thank you. I think that is a very positive beginning on that question. I don’t know what further to ask about it, it really is for another person, and I’m glad for the reply that is provided as we have.
I am Latwii, and we thank you and your friend. Is there another query?
Carla: I have a question that may seem to be whimsical, but it’s not, because I don’t, spiritually speaking or metaphysically speaking, believe in coincidence. I’ve noticed for a long time that the word AIDS means “helps” in English, not as an acronym but as a word. Could you speak to the subject of how AIDS is an aid to spiritual growth?
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We may suggest that as with any disease, as you call these conditions, the condition of AIDS is that which focuses one’s attention upon the most salient feature, shall we say, within one’s being that is in need of the attention of the entity. When catalyst or the opportunity for growing and fulfilling those patterns designed before the incarnation by the entity has not been well used or appreciated sufficiently by the conscious mind, then that catalyst is given to the physical body in a symbolic form which then may be more successful in attracting the attention of the entity in order that its own desires to learn and to serve in such and such a fashion may be fulfilled. The physical disease, thus, is that which offers again the opportunity to accomplish certain lessons.
We may in general continue with the previous response by suggesting that one facet of the condition known as AIDS which many share, each in a unique way, is that of the fidelity, of giving and receiving Love. That is to say, it is most helpful and efficient for most upon your planet to find the mate with which to journey upon the path of seeking the truth, as you have called it. For some, this efficiency in seeking is not only appropriate, but is by their own choice and design most necessary in order to complete patterns begun in previous incarnational experiences. Thus, there are, shall we say, training devices or aids, in this particular case provided by the entities themselves, that enable a more finely focused attention upon the symbol of the lessons and services that they have programmed before the incarnation.
Carla asked: “I’ve noticed for a long time that the word AIDS means “helps” in English, not as an acronym but as a word. Could you speak to the subject of how AIDS is an aid to spiritual growth?” Latwii said we may suggest that as with any disease AIDS is that which focuses one’s attention upon the salient feature within one’s being that is in need of the attention of the entity, for when the opportunity for fulfilling those patterns designed before the incarnation by the entity has not been well used by the conscious mind, then that catalyst is given to the physical body in a symbolic form which may be more successful in attracting the attention of the entity in order that its own desires to learn and to serve in a certain fashion may be fulfilled, and the physical disease is that which offers the opportunity to accomplish certain lessons. Now Latwii said we may suggest that one facet of AIDS which many share is that of the fidelity, of giving and receiving Love, so it is helpful for most upon your planet to find the mate with which to journey upon the path of seeking the truth, for this efficiency in seeking is necessary in order to complete patterns begun in previous incarnational experiences, and there are training devices provided by the entities that enable a more focused attention upon the symbol of the lessons and services that they have programmed before the incarnation. On August 3, 1997, Q’uo described the quality of giving and receiving Love:
Thus, the consciousness that each possesses are the dynamic rules by which each may co-create the illusion in which you move, that each may co-create the experience of giving and receiving Love. These experiences are many, through many incarnations and many densities, for this creation is rich and varied and offers to each seeker the full reach of the one infinite Creator.
May we answer in any further way, my sister?
Carla: Yes, in two ways. First, I would just like to clarify what I suppose to be correct from previous questions that we have had answered in this group. Can you confirm that in many cases the mate of a male biologically will be a biological male; the mate of a biological female will be a biological female? In other words, would you confirm that you are not suggesting that only the biological males and biological females can achieve a mated relationship?
I am Latwii, and this is correct, my sister.
Carla: Okay. The other question is typical of my rather pessimistic nature, but it seemed to me when contemplating AIDS that one of the things that it might help to do is offer a very unhappy person a rather rapid way of dying. This is one of the functions of disease, not to be sentimental about it. And further, not to be sentimental, but it is absolutely appalling how many ways homosexuals are beleaguered in this culture, not just in obvious ways, but in very subtle ways having to do with upbringing and self-image. Therefore, there is many a wretched homosexual just totally caught in the toils of human opinion, and I thought perhaps that that might be one of the reasons for AIDS would be a fairly speedy delivery from such an unhappy condition that could no longer be borne, but it would be an honorable way to die. Could you either confirm or correct this possibility, this supposition?
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We may suggest that the condition of AIDS is that which offers the choice. The entity may use the opportunity of the disease to discover those means by which it may find its own bearing, shall we say, with another and with that other seek in a fashion which unfolds life more abundantly as the condition is used and the catalyst is successfully processed.
There is, however, the choice of which you have spoken, and with the same opportunity the entity at some level of its being may decide to retire from this particular incarnation in order that that which has been learned may be seated within the totality of the beingness of the entity and that which has been left unlearned may be formulated in such and such a fashion so that at another time, as you would call it, another incarnation may be provided for the learning of those lessons.
May we answer further, my sister?
Carla: No, thank you.
I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query?
L: Well, I’m tempted to ask one that’s a sort of a difficult question, and I would be grateful for whatever reply could be given. In the fullness of my question, I think the core of it is I’d like to understand a little better what the difference is between different so-called levels of teachers. In the studies I’ve pursued, frequently a particular entity or source is referred as causal teacher or from the high Buddhic plane or providing perspective from the astral plane, and if you could, Latwii, comment upon this issue of discarnate teachers coming from different planes, perhaps giving an example of one from one or the other plane or what is meant by these planes and distinguishing the teaching thereby? I could try to make the question clearer, but that’s the general phrasing I can come up with.
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. Within your planetary influence in those portions which are of the metaphysical realms, shall we say, those which are unseen, frequently referred to as your inner planes, there are various levels of understanding, shall we say, much likened unto what you could call a spiritual distillery. Light and Love as realized in a pattern of beingness which you can call an entity or a mind/body/spirit complex, then, is radiated, for the positive path, in a more and more efficient fashion according to an entity’s success, shall we say, at moving itself along the path of evolution and into greater and greater realization and unity with the creation about it. Within your planetary influence there are then various levels of light beings which gather themselves in a fashion which is appropriate to their understanding or their ability to transmit the Light through their crystallized beings. These levels of existence have been termed by many of your population in various and sundry ways and described differently by different groups.
That which is generally referred to as the astral level is that which itself contains seven basic frequencies of vibration, shall we say, with the lower levels comprising those entities which are of the grosser form of thought and which in many cases are creations of the darker thoughts of the population of your planet. As one proceeds through these lower levels which are of a darker nature, one may find that the efficiency of the light transmission by the inhabitants of each succeeding level grows greater and brighter until at the upper levels of the astral planes one finds beings of greater Light which may move in service to others by serving as what you may call guides or angelic presences, and may or may not make themselves known through your spoken words, whether verbal or mental, but nonetheless, move in service in whatever fashion the entity they have chosen to serve can understand or perceive.
L asked: “I’d like to understand a little better what the difference is between different so-called levels of teachers. In the studies I’ve pursued, frequently a particular entity or source is referred as causal teacher or from the high Buddhic plane or providing perspective from the astral plane, and if you could, Latwii, comment upon this issue of discarnate teachers coming from different planes, perhaps giving an example of one from one or the other plane or what is meant by these planes and distinguishing the teaching thereby? I could try to make the question clearer, but that’s the general phrasing I can come up with.” Latwii began by saying within your planetary influence in those portions which are of the metaphysical realms of the inner planes, there are various levels of understanding much like what you call a spiritual distillery, so Light and Love as realized in a mind/body/spirit complex is radiated for the positive path in a more efficient fashion according to an entity’s success at moving itself along the path of evolution and into greater realization and unity with the creation about it, and within your planetary influence there are various levels of Light beings which gather themselves in a fashion which is appropriate to their ability to transmit Light through their crystallized beings, and these levels of existence have been described differently by different groups. Then Latwii said that which is the astral level is that which contains seven frequencies of vibration with the lower levels comprising those entities which are of the grosser form of thought, and are creations of the darker thoughts of the population of your planet, and as one proceeds through these lower levels which are of a darker nature, one may find that the efficiency of the Light transmission by the inhabitants of each succeeding level grows brighter until at the upper levels of the astral planes one finds beings of greater Light which may move in service to others by serving as guides or angelic presences and may or may not make themselves known through spoken words, whether verbal or mental, but move in service in whatever fashion the entity they have chosen to serve can understand. On November 29, 1981, Latwii spoke of the nature of the astral planes:
There are many beings of many forms which inhabit those planes of your planetary existence, which are known as the astral planes. These planes are not of another density, but are associated with the third-density experience. This is much likened unto the form your people take upon the passing through of the stage of death. The activation of the fourth ray or the green-ray body, also known as the astral body, does take place upon the process of death and may pass through many planes of existence which are contained within the astral and devachanic levels of your planet.
Many of the creatures which you have referred to are inhabitants of these planes of existence and may from time to time become visible to some of the people of your planet who have a certain relationship with these creatures. It must be understood, however, that these creatures are not what you might call regular or normal inhabitants of your planetary surface, for their pattern of existence is not within the space/time complex or location of your third density, but is upon a level which is what you might call not visible to the normal third-density eye.
As one moves beyond the astral planes or levels of vibration one enters what has most frequently been called the devachanic planes of experience. These are also frequently called the heaven worlds of your planetary influence. Within these realms of vibration, also numbering seven at the basic level, or in the basic manner of description, one may find that the population is somewhat reduced in number but is more efficient in transmitting the Love and Light of the one Creator to those whose seeking attracts or calls for their service. Again, service in this general level is that which is more of the specific call being answered rather than the constant guiding or watching over the incarnate entities of your third density as is the nature of the upper astral levels.
These beings which inhabit the devachanic planes in the lower levels of these planes, then, move to answer specific calls. Within the upper frequencies of the devachanic planes, there is less and less desire to serve in the manner of communication with the third-density incarnate population of your planet. The service at this level of vibration takes more the form of the sending and in some cases the providing of Light, Love and healing to the planetary entity itself and to larger portions of the population of your planet than one or two or a few of your entities which may call for service and receive it from other levels of either the astral or devachanic planes. We would prefer not to name certain entities that may be placed in one level or another, for to do so would be to seem to judge, for many upon your planet view one level or another as being higher and therefore better than another, when in fact, each speaks with the voice of the Creator to the Creator which calls for that which is of the appropriate vibration of service.
Latwii went on to say as one moves beyond the astral planes one enters the devachanic planes of experience, and these are called the heaven worlds of your planet, so within these realms of vibration, also numbering seven at the basic level, one may find that the population is reduced in number but is more efficient in transmitting the Love and Light of the one Creator to those whose seeking calls for their service, for service in this level is that which is more of the specific call being answered rather than the constant watching over the incarnate entities of your third density as is the nature of the upper astral levels. Now Latwii said these beings which inhabit the devachanic planes in the lower levels of these planes move to answer specific calls, so within the upper frequencies of the devachanic planes, there is less desire to serve in the manner of communication with the third-density incarnate population of your planet, for the service at this level of vibration takes the form of sending Light, Love, and healing to the planetary entity and to larger portions of the population of your planet than one, or two, or a few of your entities which may call for service and receive it from other levels of either the astral or devachanic planes, but we would prefer not to name certain entities that may be placed in one level or another, for to do so would be to seem to judge, for many upon your planet view one level or another as being higher and better than another, when in fact, each speaks with the voice of the Creator to the Creator which calls for that which is of the appropriate vibration of service. On 17.37, Ra described the nature of the devachanic planes:
In the devachanic planes, as you call them, are those whose vibrations are even more close to the primal distortions of Love/Light.
May we answer further, my brother?
L: I think that’s a very good reply, and I appreciate it. I don’t think I could qualify the question further except that the Ra material makes a reference to the gateway to intelligent infinity and I wonder if that corresponds with other systems referring to what are called the Buddhic planes, and that would be the only final part, I guess, to ask you.
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We would suggest that the contact with what has been called intelligent infinity may be seen not just as that which contacts higher and higher levels of vibration within a planetary influence, but that which reveals unto the entity experiencing this contact the nature and unity of all creation and all that which lies beyond creation, all that from which creation springs. Thus, the contact with intelligent infinity is the fully experienced presence of the one infinite Creator.
May we answer further, my brother?
L: No, thank you very much. That covers it.
I am Latwii, and we thank you again, my brother. Is there another query?
[Pause]
I am Latwii. It has been our great honor and privilege to blend our vibrations with yours this evening. We hope that each is aware that we share our own experiences and our opinions which are most fallible. Please take that which has value and leave that which has none in your own journey of seeking. We are your brothers and sisters who have traveled perhaps a bit further upon that same path which we share with you. We travel with you always, as does the great company of seekers both seen and unseen which moves in service, each to the other and all to the one Creator. We are known to you as those of Latwii. We bid you adieu for this evening. We leave you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: The first thought that comes forth from the materialist when they hear about this radical teaching of praying for our enemies is, “Do you mean that I should pray for my enemy to be successful over me, that he succeed in his deceit, trickery, and conniving?” No, those of spiritual vision would not pray for that at all, but that the enemy’s mind be opened and made receptive and responsive to the will of God.
How few people remember that praying for their enemies opens the very doors of heaven, showering its blessings upon them. It matters not whether a nation is an enemy or an ally, the same prayer must prevail, “Open their eyes that they may see with spiritual vision.”
Whether the offender is personal national, or international matters not one whit. There must be the desire that all people be awakened to their true identity and the Source of all being. Even to those who would crucify him, the Master said, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” To his brethren after they had thrown him into the pit and sold him into slavery, Joseph said, “It was not you that sent me hither, but God.” He did not hold them in bondage for their act, but he gave them food to carry home, returning good for evil. One of the most important lessons for all of us to learn is that there is no room in the spiritual life for the return of evil for evil. There is no room for anything but a life of forgiveness.
From the moment of waking in the morning until going to sleep at night, there must be periods in the day in which we consciously remember:
I forgive. If I have aught against any man, woman, or child, here and now I forgive completely, perfectly, entirely. If anyone’s misdeeds persist in coming back to my memory, over and over again I will forgive. I seek no punishment for anyone; I seek no revenge; I see no justice. I loose everyone and let them go.”
This afternoon I took the Bougainville plant out of the living room and put it on the front porch so that I could take all of the lights and decorations off of it without making a mess in the living room. Then I hung it on the east side of the fishpond. Then I mopped up the front porch with a wet mop. Then I went into the living room and vacuumed up the leaves that fell off of the Bougainville plant. Then I went into the garage and found a length of burlap that will cover the Bougainville plant from 10 am in the mornings until 2 pm in the afternoons after the rainy days are over later this week in the hardening off process.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 24
Peace, Be Still
I am the principle of infinite compassion which is the Love of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in thisLlove.
So many doubts assail your minds; so many self-destructive thoughts; so many stumbling blocks which each seeker puts in its own way through doubt. Let us speak to you of faith.
In all of the ways of existence there are those things which one may question. Yet, undergirding all that there is, is a mysterious splendor of that which was created by Love.
The attitude of faith asks no words, brooks no sentiments, and discusses no implications. Faith is that abiding belief that a kindly Creator has a will for each to learn and to grow spiritually and to be of service to others.
Many situations seem quite devoid of that opportunity. Do not be fooled. When you can, show faith. When you can gaze upon the stormy waters and say, “Peace, be still,” within yourself, then you have not dogma or doctrine but a solid rock upon which to stand and the overreaching arms of the Father to protect you, comfort you, and hold you as you walk the steps of the seeker.
We leave you in the peace and joy of that mysterious journey, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer for 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.
