I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling for this session comes from March 9, 1988:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you again through this instrument in the Love and the Light of the Creator.

We are pleased with the homework done so well by the new instrument, by the shifting of priorities and attitudes that have been so difficult a challenge for the new instrument. We are pleased and delighted, and welcome to that group of Light workers which seeks to offer the self in this service of vocal channeling. We have said before that the service of channeling and the learning of its practice is of much practical help in learning how to live within the illusion, and we shall say it knowing that it shall strike the new instrument with a special force at this time as this instrument has, more than ever before, trusted in the foolishness of the word not heard, where so much of the surface mental processes concerning the surface perceptions of happenstance among your peoples is sheer illusion. And not only unhandy but such a stumbling block to discernment that it is a valuable goal, in our humble opinion, to attempt to channel the life as a whole, not in the same sense, precisely, as the one known as D channels the one known as Hatonn, but in the sense that there is a lack of concern about all else save that process which the player in the game understands to be that portion of the game which is his responsibility.

There is much distress amongst your people about such terms as livelihood and service, and the more ardent one is towards the quest for truth the more liable the mind is to attempt, upon its own, without recourse to the vast aid available, to use mentation only in determining what course to take to be of service or to attain right livelihood. In actuality, as long as the balls, shall we say, keep coming into the life, it is a neutral, emotional matter to catch the ball and dispose of it according to the rules of the game. There are societal rules which may or may not be accepted but as the student prospers in his studies, they discern, more and more, the backbone of their own nature, the skeleton of ethics and compassion and caring, that which is unique to that seeker alone.

In this session Hatonn speaks of how to become a vocal channel. They began by saying we are pleased with the homework done well by the new instrument, by the shifting of priorities that have been a difficult challenge for the new instrument, and we are delighted to welcome to that group of Light workers which seeks to offer the self in this service of vocal channeling, for we have said that the service of channeling and the learning of its practice is a help in learning how to live within the illusion, and we say it knowing that it shall strike the new instrument with a special force at this time as this instrument has, more than ever before, trusted in the foolishness of the word not heard, where so much of the surface mental processes concerning the surface perceptions of coincidences among your people is an illusion, yet not only unhandy but such a stumbling block to discernment that it is a goal to attempt to channel the life as a whole, not in the same sense as D channels Hatonn, but in the sense that there is a lack of concern about all else save that process which the player in the game understands to be that portion of the game which is their responsibility. Hatonn went on to say there is much distress among your people about such terms as livelihood and service, and the more dedicated one is towards the quest for truth the more liable the mind is to attempt without an option to use the aid available in determining what course to take to be of service or to attain right livelihood, for as long as the balls keep coming into the life, it is a neutral matter to catch the ball and dispose of it according to the rules of the game, but there are societal rules which may or may not be accepted, yet as the student prospers in their studies they discern the backbone of their own nature, the ethics and compassion which are unique to that seeker. On July 14, 1985, L/Leema described our quest for truth:

I am L/Leema, and we find that this query opens a great field in which the seeker may quest for truth, for, indeed, each incarnation is experience spent in a tiny portion of an entity’s beingness. That portion is what you call the conscious mind. This conscious mind moves about in what you may call an illusion, though most within your illusion feel the illusion to be quite, quite real. The conscious mind is but the tip of the mind of an entity viewed in its entirety. There is that which has been called a veil which separates the conscious mind from the greater portion of an entity’s total beingness. A large portion of that being exists as a portion of an entity’s mind complex, and within this mind complex, then, will fall some of those descriptive terms given in the query.

The unconscious mind is as the roots of a tree. The branches are as the conscious mind traveling down the trunk into the roots. One may see the unconscious mind moving further and deeper into those portions of mind which are shared with other beings so that there is seen a group mind of an unconscious nature that you may term racial, and in some cases, planetary. These realms of mind are often given names such as superconscious experience, for within such realms are many beings, levels of creation or perception and experiences that one may have in connection with the evolutionary process ongoing in all that form this portion of mind.

As the complex of mind is followed to the limits of its creation—for all creation is a function of mind, consciously applied—there is then the opportunity for the entity or group of entities to make contact with the complex of spirit which then serves as a communicator or shuttle, as it has been called, with that which goes beyond all manifested form, beyond creation and the so-called conscious experience of creation, there is the infinity of that which is not made in any form, but which permeates all form and is, shall we say, the substance from which all which is made is made. This is the unity of infinite intelligence, the being of the one Creator without distortion of any kind.

It is into that system of biases that events occur, are born, flourish, and are dealt with. When the hope of outcome is eliminated by the player—who is the seeker—and concentration lies only upon the accuracy of the catch—that is, the accuracy of the perception of the circumstance—then the knowledge of the self, which by instinct then moves that ball within the game to its rightful place, is made plain. Love itself prospers in such an atmosphere, for the entity which you are contains infinite Love in a form which is, almost always, unavailable to the conscious mind. It must be touched within that inner silence by that infinity of the Love of the infinite Creator which then channels through the seeking student joining with the infinity of Love within and thus enabling the channeling of infinite love to occur.

In life, as you know it, in the experiences of Love, there are many times that the balls—the thoughts, the perceptions—are dropped, misplaced, thought about past the point of ethical consideration, pulled and puzzled and torn, and so the flow stops, just as in the channeling process. So, then the experienced student chooses that moment of gazing at the dropped balls and without blame of self or rancor of any kind, delivers the self over to the ministrations of patience, for there are those times within the illusion when the channeling stops, the channel being blocked. Then it is that the instrument of life, of Love, or of service may sit patiently upon the mound, still in the ball game, but, shall we say, between innings, doing work which is just as difficult and just as important as active channeling, that is, waiting, and in the waiting, knowing that success is inevitable, that this ball game of love, of life, and of service, shall always go on. It is those who walk away from the game, disappointed in themselves or in others, who may find it difficult, then, to remain balanced and centered in faith.

Hatonn went on to say it is into that system of biases that events occur, are born, flourish, and are dealt with, and when the hope of outcome is eliminated by the player—who is the seeker—and concentration lies upon the perception of the circumstance—then the knowledge of the self, which by instinct moves that ball within the game to its rightful place, is made plain, so Love prospers in such an atmosphere, for the entity which you are contains infinite Love in a form which is usually unavailable to the conscious mind, so it must be touched within that inner silence by that infinity of the Love of the infinite Creator which channels through the seeking student joining with the infinity of Love within and enabling the channeling of infinite Love to occur. Hatonn completed their thoughts by saying in life in the experiences of Love, there are times that the thoughts are misplaced past the point of ethical consideration, and the flow stops just as in the channeling process, so the experienced student chooses that moment of gazing at the dropped balls and without blame of self delivers the self over to the exercise of patience, for there are those times within the illusion when the channeling stops, and then it is that the instrument of life, of Love, or of service may sit patiently upon the mound, still in the ball game but between innings doing work which is just as difficult and just as important as active channeling and in the waiting knowing that success is inevitable, that this ball game of Love, of life, and of service, shall always go on, but it is those who walk away from the game, disappointed in themselves or in others, who may find it difficult to remain balanced and centered in faith. On June 21, 1989, Latwii spoke about living a life centered in faith:

Trust that meditative process. Trust that asking and seeking, and when you hear the answer, find the grace and the will to act upon it with a singleness of heart. For you wish to give glory to the infinite Creator, and no matter who you Love, that you Love is the glory of humankind. It does not matter if that Love be twisted by another; it does not matter if that Love be unknown, or thrown away, or despoiled. It matters only that you radiate the beauty, the peace, and the joy of a life centered in faith.

We commend the one known as D for that patience which has been so dearly bought and for his growing abilities as a channel. Each entity has an unique voice, and we wish to assure the one known as D that this voice too shall be a gift…

(Carla channeling)

For as we have said, ours is a very simple message. We speak of the one great original Thought, which is Love, if that which creates all that there is can be called in one word. Language is a poor thing, indeed, when it comes to superlatives.

We would at this time transfer to the one known as Jim, that he too may speak in some wise or another of Love and Love’s many, many faces, for no matter what the subject, Love is the source and the answer. And each entity’s web of experience, learning, and thought create one more way to express the inexpressible, to bring to illusion that brightest reality that shines already within, in each beacon heart. I am Hatonn.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “To refrain from seeking the “help” of God is to be functioning in reality.

No longer reaching out to God, no longer seeking God’s help is to be awakening out of the dream into reality,

Whenever there is a sense of “needing” God one is functioning in the dream.

God is not power in the sense of power over evil, disease, or death. God is not power in any sense involving battle, that is, overcoming or destroying

God is life. God is Love. Gos IS. Nothing else is. Only God IS.

Do not be concerned about your relationships with people. Consciously maintain your relationship with God, and this will take care of everything else.

Keep your realization of your relationship with God sacred and secret. This relationship, maintained in silence and secrecy, appears outwardly as harmonious human relationships and experiences.

God is the cement between you and your brothers and sisters of the human animal, vegetable, and mineral families.

When thought dwells on person, place, or thing, you are functioning in the dream,

When your thoughts unite in spiritual contemplation, every person, place, or thing becomes a spiritual delight.

The two great Commandments are cosmic law: Thou shalt have no other God or power; thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Cast your bread upon the waters.”

This morning I went outside and began working on the small stone wall on the west side of the fishpond by gathering more stones from the north end of the pet cemetery. Then I removed the top two layers of the small stone wall, leaving only the base level of stones. Then I used the new stones to rebuild the stone wall with a tighter conformation.

This afternoon I drove to Thieneman’s Nursery and bought 5 Yellow Marigolds and 5 Orange Marigolds. When I got back home, I transplanted all of the Marigolds into the south end of The Ruins Mound Garden. Then I watered all of the Marigolds with fertilized water.

From A Book of Days channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

August 23

It Is A New Day!

I am of the spirit of Jesus the Christ. May the perfect Love of the Father enfold you this day.

Our great tidings are ever new, as are your minds and your hearts. Whether in life or death, whatever process you are experiencing in the valley of the shadow of death, yet still, despite any condition or process of body or mind, in your soul, in your heart, and in your truth are you new.

Do not carry around with you the great burden of self-perceived error. For you only need to say, “Forgive me.” It is healing to say those words to one with whom you have had a disagreement.

You are healing still to say, “I have judged you wrongly.” For fear and judgment are the causes of humans offering the opportunity for much agony to each other. It is equally important that you say to yourself, “Forgive me. I have judged in error.”

Rejoice! It is a new day! May you feel the Love that Loves you now, wholly and completely. May you feel the peace that lies in the memory that love is here. And when you drop away from your physical body, there, in spirit, shall Love be even more visible.

We leave you in that Love and peace, now and forever. 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 the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen
