I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Latwii channeling for this session comes from January 29, 1989:
Is there individuality in our lives, or are there forces that guide us that are beyond our perception, for example, astrology, predestination from previous incarnations—that goes into decision-making so that our lives seem to come out with relative order in relationship to the chaos? And how might all of this, in a general sense, relate to S’s current condition in which she feels a great degree of stress and would like to have some inspirational word or message that might help her make sense out of this all?
(Carla channeling)
I am Latwii, and I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great blessing to us to feel your call and have this opportunity to serve you. Indeed, it is you who serve us as our means of learning further at this time is service to those such as you who would at this time wish for thoughts which we have to offer. As always, we ask that no word be taken as authority and that each person discern that which is its own truth for itself, for all that we have to say may not be the truth of one or another of you. We are those brothers and sisters who travel the same path. We share opinions. Thus, we ask that you do not take us to be without error. Our plate is nicely filled this evening, my friends. We have more things to begin with than we know what to do with, and we are most excited about the possibility of communicating with you, for those things which you wish to know are, indeed, central to the continuing search for your own truth.
You wish to know who you are. What part of you is yourself, and what part is influence only. The answer will be a paradox, yet it is what we have to tell you. You will find that the nature of spiritual seeking is such that paradoxes occur quite frequently. You are consciousness, and within consciousness lies the total experiential series of illusions which make up the experience of the creation within this creation’s octave. However, these halls, shall we say, or temples of intelligence and information, inspiration and imagination are carefully guarded, and it is unlikely within the illusion you now enjoy that this portion of yourself would be available in any understandable fashion in its entirety. This is a real Self. It is also that which you call the Creator, for it is out of that which you call the Creator, out of that great singular consciousness which we find we must call Love since there is no stronger word for this feeling in your language that is your being. Each mote of illusion is instinct with the Creator self.
This is not that which one hopes for when one asks a query concerning individuality, however, this is a portion and a most important portion of the individual self, and that is the Creator Self. It is this Self which must be reckoned as this Self is the destiny of the self which at this particular time, as you would say, is, indeed, your individual self. You are both an individualized portion of consciousness and All That There Is. The important portion to focus upon within the experience of the illusion is first of all the self that you are within the illusion. The purpose of entering into this experience using this physical vehicle and moving through all the joys and sadnesses of an incarnational experience is to work toward decisions, biases within the mind and the heart. This individual self is the only self that may make those decisions within the illusion.
In this session Latwii spoke about the concept of the paradox of knowing who we are. Latwii began by saying you wish to know who you are, and what part of you is yourself, and what part is influence only, but the answer will be a paradox, yet it is what we have to tell you, for you will find that the nature of spiritual seeking is such that paradoxes occur frequently, so you are consciousness, and within consciousness lies the total experiential series of illusions which make up the experience of the creation within this creation’s octave, but these temples of intelligence and inspiration are carefully guarded, and it is unlikely within the illusion you now enjoy that this portion of yourself would be available in any understandable fashion in its entirety since this is a real Self, and it is also the Creator, for it is out of the Creator of that singular consciousness which we call Love since there is no stronger word for this feeling in your language that is your being, for each part of the illusion is instinct with the Creator self. Then Latwii said this is not that which one hopes for when one asks a query concerning individuality, but this is an important portion of the individual self, and that is the Creator Self, for it is this Self which must be reckoned with as this Self is the destiny of the self which at this time is your individual self, for you are both an individualized portion of consciousness and All That There Is, so the important portion to focus upon within the experience of the illusion is the self that you are within the illusion, and the purpose of entering into this experience using this physical vehicle and moving through all the joys and sadnesses of an incarnational experience is to work toward decisions and biases within the mind and the heart, yet this individual self is the only self that may make those decisions within the illusion. On July 3, 1989, Q’uo spoke about how we can deal with a paradox:
Now, the paradox between judgment and tolerance or open-mindedness is solved only by faith; that is, the faith that we are, that each is, that oneself is an I AM. All you are responsible for, in that regard, is learning who you are. Many there are who get so caught up in spiritual growth that they do not ever establish for themselves the roots of their faith. Consequently, they move from one spiritual practice to another, never getting the satisfaction and consolation of spiritual guidance and service to others in community.
Thus, we would say it is well to know the self well, to know what the physical vehicle that moves each about needs, and to provide it carefully, to treat that instrument kindly, for it carries you about. Then one may turn one’s face to the changing, assured of who one is, for in changing, you are not changing in kind but in refinement of quality.
Therefore, the open mind, the attempt of new things, will, of course, bring changes within the conscious mind and the programming of the subconscious mind as well, and this, as always, will be experienced as times of discomfort, frustration, sorrow, anger, or some other negative stress. From within the illusion that is the picture that the eyes carry to the brain. This is not an accurate picture, for in retrospect one may always discover that where there was catalyst for change and the difficulty of changing in order to be of more service to others, there has also been the balance of learning that intensifies during traumatic events.
Thus, each seeking entity must do the work of discrimination and judgment. Let no one express truth to you in a way which is infallible, but rather allow that which is infallible, the Creator-self within, to have constant daily opportunities to center and tabernacle with the one infinite Creator.
What we suggest that each entity does, basically, is to put the individual self back into perspective as a portion of the great unified Self, which is Love. To say that another way, all are a portion of a consciousness that is beyond all intent or desire. Each of you through the action of free will moves towards desired ends. That from which you sprang, that one great original Thought of Love, had, through the use of free will, made one choice, that being self-knowledge. Each individual portion of consciousness, thus, is offering to the Creator the experiences which it registers and the extremities of bias or intensities of feeling which its portions of consciousness can create and experience. The more intensity and color, shall we say, the more resonance and undertone one’s internal experience expresses, the better, as far as the Creator is concerned. Thus, the Creator is interested alike in all things.
However, there is a bias that has been set in place within this density, which does, indeed, tend toward a suggestion that the Creator, being a Creator of Love, has created in the path of Love for others, a path which is more easily and joyfully taken than the path of service to self and control of others. Thus, each of you is, indeed, an individual, each of you is here for one basic purpose, that being to make a choice between one path and another, and then, that choice being made, to attempt throughout the remainder of the incarnation, with dogged and continuing persistence, to follow that choice and to make other choices which support and undergird the first choice of service to others. Now, when one decides that one is to be of service to others, when one commits oneself to taking oneself seriously enough to enter into meditation, enter into the silence, and make that link between the small self and the Creator Self, one is bound to expect an experience which is more than usually full of new ideas, new feelings, and therefore discomfort. For as the changing process—that is, the process of change within an individual which is the inevitable fruit of the spiritual quest—is happening, discomfort and pain are also occurring. It is uncomfortable to change, and this is what each who makes the choice to act in a polarized manner does. The choice implies a long, long list of other choices involving being of service to another.
Latwii went on to say we suggest that each entity puts the individual self back into perspective as a portion of the unified Self, which is Love, and all are a portion of a consciousness that is beyond all that there is, and each of you, through the action of free will, and that from which you sprang moves towards desired ends, for that one great original Thought of Love, through the use of free will, made one choice, that being self-knowledge, so each individual portion of consciousness is offering to the Creator its experiences of intensities of feeling which its consciousness can create and experience, and the more intensity and resonance of one’s internal experience expresses, the better, as far as the Creator is concerned, for the Creator is interested alike in all things. Then Latwii said there is a bias that has been set in place within this density which tends toward a suggestion that the Creator, being a Creator of Love, has created in the path of Love for others, a path which is more easily and joyfully taken than the path of service to self and control of others, for each of you is an individual that is here for one purpose which is to make a choice between one path and another and then to attempt throughout the remainder of the incarnation to follow that choice and to make other choices which support the first choice of service to others, for when one decides that one is to be of service to others and commits oneself to taking oneself seriously enough to enter into meditation and make that link between the small self and the Creator Self, one is bound to expect an experience which is more than usually full of new ideas, new feelings, and discomfort, for as the process of change within an individual which is the inevitable fruit of the spiritual quest is happening discomfort and pain are also occurring, for it is uncomfortable to change, and this is what each who makes the choice to act in a polarized manner does, yet the choice implies a long list of other choices involving being of service to another. On March 30, 2019, Q’uo described the choice of service to others and to the self:
This type of exercise of free will that produces confusion, that offers catalyst, that offers further direction in the seeking, is a process which is predominantly undertaken within your third-density illusion so that the choice of polarity may be made, and the polarized choice for service to others or service to self may then be promulgated in higher densities. Now, the higher densities do not have the veil of forgetting, so there is less likelihood that there will be as much confusion in the exercise of free will in those densities, as there is in the third density. However, the higher densities do still utilize the exercise of free will that produces in its own way, a kind of confusion that offers a need for examination for further growth in the inner sensing of the way to unify with the One once again.
We may recommend for those who are at the beginning of this path that the first step in such a path is not to be of service to others but rather to know and Love the self and come into communion with the self so that one becomes to oneself the individual that others are to the self, but the self seldom is. It is often the self which criticizes the self the most harshly, the self which has an internal voice which pulls and tears at one’s feeling of self-worth. These negative voices from within need to be reckoned with, need to gazed at and brought into balance. These voices are speaking to you of pain, and the pain must be investigated and all involved forgiven. Most of the forgiveness that is needed at the beginning of the spiritual search is the forgiveness of the self, for one forgives others far more easily than one forgives the self. It is most centrally important to forgive and love and care for the self in a nurturing manner in order that one may love one’s neighbor as oneself, as it is said in your holy work, the Bible. How can service to others be performed by those who do not love the self, for all other selves are in truth as the self? All are beloved and intimate, for all are brothers and sisters of one infinite Creator whose expression to all of us is much, much love. This Creator is most interested in each, tastes and relishes the experiences of each, and we, in return, those countless brothers and sisters of the creation, move evermore intently toward reentering that same awareness, which is the consciousness of love itself.
As the choice is made, things rapidly become chaotic. Indeed, the method of experience for any entity within your illusion is that of alternating order and disorder. This is due to the fact that the consciousness which is used by the surface mind is a type of, what this instrument would call, biocomputer; its one function is to answer queries “yes” or “no.” It answers millions and millions of them each second, as the mind decides what it will apprehend with its senses and offer to the mind as information and what it will filter out as noise, rather than signal. This biocomputer is programmed to accept certain information. When change is desired, the program of the computer itself must be written, or in many, many cases, concerning relationships especially, a program must be dumped and a new one written. This is the specific source of the discomfort of change. One is moving into the programming of one’s biocomputer, and one is having to use more of one’s internal character, shall we say, or will, in order to most beneficially reprogram the computer. Further, the act of meditation is a rapid accelerator to this process because it allows an opportunity for the higher self to work with what we may call a metaprogram, or greater program, which influences how one uses one’s various programs within the information.
Now Latwii said we recommend for those who are at the beginning of this path that the first step in such a path is not to be of service to others but rather to know and Love the self and come into communion with the self, so that one becomes to oneself the individual that others are to the self, but the self seldom is, for it is often the self which criticizes the self the most harshly, and these negative voices from within need to be gazed at and brought into balance, for these voices are speaking to you of pain, and the pain must be investigated and all involved forgiven, for most of the forgiveness that is needed at the beginning of the spiritual search is the forgiveness of the self, for one forgives others more easily than one forgives the self, but it is important to forgive and Love the self in a nurturing manner in order that one may Love one’s neighbor as oneself, for all are brothers and sisters of one infinite Creator whose expression to all of us is Love, and the Creator is most interested in each, and we who are the brothers and sisters of the creation move toward reentering that same awareness, which is the consciousness of Love itself. Latwii continued by saying as the choice is made, things become chaotic, and the method of experience for any entity within your illusion is that of alternating order and disorder, for this is due to the fact that the consciousness which is used by the surface mind is a type of biocomputer whose function is to answer queries “yes” or “no,” and it answers millions of them each second as the mind decides what it will understand with its senses and offer to the mind as information and what it will filter out as noise, rather than signal since this biocomputer is programmed to accept certain information and when change is desired, the program of the computer must be written, or in many cases concerning relationships, a program must be dumped and a new one written, for this is the source of the discomfort of change as one is moving into the programming of one’s biocomputer, and one is having to use more of one’s will in order to reprogram the computer, yet the act of meditation is a rapid accelerator to this process because it allows an opportunity for the higher self to work with a metaprogram which influences how one uses one’s various programs within the information. On January 1, 1989, Q’uo and Carla described the nature of a metaprogram:
Carla: I had a couple. One was about the term, metaprogram. I haven’t run into it before, and I was thinking about physics versus metaphysics. But I think meta means sort of “beside,” okay, so you’re saying metaprogram, so it’s a program beside that program which is in our conscious mind, so I was thinking, well, what would that be? And then I thought, well, it’s the computer that makes up our computer, that puts the stuff in our computer in the first place. Like, if we changed the metaprogram, the program would change in a lot of different, subtle ways, because it would be changing our basic biases, and that would mean that the metaprogram was that personality of ours that does survive, and it’s the personality of the spirit. Now, do you have any comments on any of these things? Am I in any way correct? Or what is a metaprogram, as opposed to a program, in the mind?
I am Q’uo, and if we have perceived your query correctly, we would equate the metaprogram with the pre-incarnative choices that have been chosen by each seeker, that there may be the opportunities for learning and then the reciprocal opportunities for serving according to that which has been learned in the life pattern. The programming of such opportunities consists, in general, in the imbedding, shall we say, of certain biases with the subconscious mind and in the conscious mind, when helpful, as well, that will allow opportunities of a certain nature to occur when these biases come in contact with a certain set of circumstances.
Thus, as the seeker moves through various circumstances where it finds itself in need of more of a quality or commodity, then will its programming be triggered so that its attitude will be brought to bear upon the situation which is, in itself, relatively neutral, the coloration of an emotional nature coming primarily from the subconscious mind, according to the program of the seeker.
Thus, the metaprogram, or pre-incarnative choice, will allow the seeker to pursue the degree of balance that it has chosen previous to the incarnation, and to continue refining, or in many cases, simply approaching, this degree of balance that will allow the seeker to achieve the goal which it has set for itself prior to the incarnation.
The act of meditation opens one to the experience of the Creator in a worshipful or personal manner, that is, one awaits and listens for a dear friend or a beloved one, one has the feeling of intimate expectancy. This is the beginning of the listening process, a desire as if one is before a lover or one who would read a beautiful poem that meant a great deal. This attitude is that which opens the heart and the mind in a way which gives much energy and power to whatever it is that is willed or desired by the entity. If the entity wishes to move ahead quickly and learn, then the entity will, indeed, be changing quite rapidly. Those who are in relationship with such an entity are advised by us to join with the mate in this endeavor, since the changing otherwise causes one of the mates to gaze upon the other and say, “You have changed, and I do not know you anymore.” We find that the strongest and most comfortable or sturdy of the alliances that one may make in the spiritual search is that of the mate. The mated couple which has managed to clear away the many petty disagreements of everyday living and has agreed to work together may greatly intensify and accelerate the process of spiritual work in consciousness because one who is supported and loving, but truthful and honest, is a far better mirror than that one made of glass.
Many relationships between your people are those which offer the very distorted picture. Indeed, it is a great service to be a mate and offer an objective, loving, and truthful picture of the other self. This is a worthy and service-to-others attempt. It may not sometimes please, but if it is truth to you, then allow it to be communicated, and in that communication shall you find unity, strength and more understanding, more awareness than was there before. No two entities can walk the same path, and when mates attempt to walk a spiritual path together it must needs be seen that each is, indeed, an individual, and not an individual that can change easily, but an individual that is the result of biases gathered over incarnation after incarnation after incarnation. Gaze upon your babies and your youngsters and ask yourself, “Are these young souls possibly the product of their incarnational experience alone?” My friends, ask any parent, and it will explain to you that each entity is born an entity that knows upon its own rhythms from the beginning until the end.
Then Latwii said the act of meditation opens one to the experience of the Creator in a worshipful manner where one listens for a beloved one who has the feeling of intimate expectancy, and this is the beginning of the listening process, a desire as if one is before a lover or one who would read a beautiful poem, for this attitude is that which opens the heart and the mind in a way which gives power to whatever it is that is desired by the entity, but if the entity wishes to move ahead quickly and learn, then the entity will be changing rapidly, and those who are in relationship with such an entity are advised to join with the mate in this endeavor since the changing causes one of the mates to gaze upon the other and say, “You have changed, and I do not know you anymore,” so we find that the strongest and most comfortable of the alliances that one may make in the spiritual search is that of the mate, for the mated couple which has managed to clear away the disagreements of everyday living and has agreed to work together may accelerate the process of spiritual work in consciousness because one who is loving and honest is a better mirror than that one made of glass. Now Latwii said many relationships between your people are those which offer a distorted picture, and it is a service-to-others attempt to be a mate and offer a loving and truthful picture of the other self, so it may not be pleasing to you, but if it is truth to you, then allow it to be communicated, and in that communication shall you find unity, strength, and more awareness than was there before, yet no two entities can walk the same path, and when mates attempt to walk a spiritual path together it must needs be seen that each is an individual, and not an individual that can change easily, but an individual that is the result of biases gathered after many incarnations, so gaze upon your youngsters and ask yourself, “Are these young souls possibly the product of their incarnational experience alone?” So Latwii said ask any parent, and it will explain to you that each entity is born an entity that knows upon its own rhythms from the beginning until the end. On January 16, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the spiritual path:
Hopefully, as you begin to sense yourself as a spiritual entity, the “I” that speaks for you begins to come out of the mist of the surface “I,” the surface personality. The model that this instrument carries in her mind of the entity on the spiritual path is a model in which she is following in the steps of Jesus the Christ. She does not have a model of herself as worshipping but as following after the example of a teacher who seemed to know precisely who He was. He identified Himself as an agent of the Creator. This instrument, then, has a model of the self on the spiritual path in which she has an objective referent to who she is because she is following an entity who was of a certain personality. This entity identified Himself strictly as the Son of the Father who was about His Father’s business. And it is notable that this entity, in all of His preaching, has never been quoted as asking for worship but only as asking for being followed.
So, we would ask entities who are looking at themselves upon the spiritual path quite simply, “Who are you?” Because this is the essential center of that which draws entities to the path of seeking. They become aware that all of the Wisdom that has been acquired since their cradle experiences is not enough to satisfy the craving for identity and meaning. They realize that they are going to have to set off on a journey. It is not a journey in the physical world at all, but it is very definitely a journey, and it very definitely is upon a path that is common to all seekers.
Please realize that on this path you are not gathering as much as allowing things to fall away. The deep and true tones of your identity and your right process come clearly, plangently, sometimes plaintively and sometimes triumphantly, but unmistakably, from time to time there will come a moment—this instrument loves to call them “crystalline moments”—that ping like a bell with a very clear indication of meaning and resonance and in that moment, whatever the realization is, it is easy; it is effortless; and you realize that you have reaped the harvest that has been in process for a long time. You finally hear, and feel, and see the work that you have done, but you never know when that moment will come. Such is the progress of one upon the spiritual path.
Now we move to the question of influences. Yes, indeed, my friends, you are most influenced, and most of the influence is to distract you from the game at hand. For just as school is a game in which one attempts to pass the test at the end, so is life itself, and life after life after life part of the game in which an individual entity that is a consciousness or a soul, that is, in part, a part of the Creator, is intended to go through experience after experience after experience in each incarnation, testing the biases that have withstood the test of many, many, many experiences, so that by the gradual process of erosion of bad habits, shall we say, or habits that you decide are bad, and by the continual encouragement of that which seems to your deepest truth appropriate, you may change your choice more and more toward the polarization of Love; Love for yourself, Love for the Creator, and Love for all those whom you meet, all those who are alive and all things that are alive, or by being the product of a person’s hands are in that way alive.
We are sorry to say that experience of chaos continues, and the more it occurs, the faster the entity is changing and the more uncomfortable the entity will be. Any sort of chaos in the metaphysical sense, that is, in the sense of unpurposeable energy, is an illusion, for in an energy there is an inherent purpose, or else it would not move. Within the illusion which you experience, the chaos is, almost always, a question of the point of view. It is well, in the sense of being, perhaps, the most accurate of gaining the largest amount of clarity, to move away mentally from the side of the sphere upon which you now enjoy an incarnation, until you can no longer see either the planet or its sun. From that standpoint, things look somewhat different. The frame of time and space has opened up, and there are many fewer things which are of importance. Some things, however, are timeless. These are the principles and natural rules of creation which it is well to observe. These rules are very simple. Free will is uppermost in the so-called Laws of Creation. That is, each entity is an individual and has complete free will to make its choices. That is the whole point of this entire process of consciousness from alpha to omega. Thus, encourage yourself to be ever more conscious and ever more self-conscious, without becoming so self-involved that one forgets that once the self is in hand, once the self is peaceful and meditating and ready to serve, then the hand needs to be turned to the present moment.
Latwii said now we move to the question of influences, for you are influenced, and most of the influence is to distract you from the game at hand, for as school is a game in which one attempts to pass the test at the end, and life after life is part of the game in which an entity that is a soul that is a part of the Creator that is intended to go through experiences in each incarnation, testing the biases that have withstood the test of many experiences, so that by the gradual process of erosion of bad habits that you decide are bad, and by the continual encouragement of that which seems to your deepest truth appropriate, you may change your choice more toward the polarization of Love for yourself, Love for the Creator, and Love for all those whom you meet, all those who are alive and all things that are alive. Latwii continued by saying that experience of chaos continues, and the more it occurs, the faster the entity is changing and the more uncomfortable the entity will be, but any chaos in the metaphysical sense of unusable energy is an illusion, for in energy there is an inherent purpose, or else it would not move, for within the illusion which you experience, the chaos is a question of the point of view, so it is well in the sense of being the most accurate of gaining the largest amount of clarity to move away mentally from the side of the sphere upon which you now enjoy an incarnation, until you can no longer see either the planet or its sun, and from that standpoint things look different because the frame of time and space has opened up, and there are many fewer things which are of importance, yet some things are timeless, so these are the natural rules of creation which it is well to observe, and Free Will is uppermost in the so-called Laws of Creation where each entity is an individual and has complete Free Will to make its choices, and that is the point of this process of consciousness from alpha to omega, so encourage yourself to be more self-conscious without becoming so self-involved that one forgets that once the self is peaceful, meditating, and ready to serve, then the hand needs to be turned to the present moment. On March 20, 1991, Q’uo described the nature of the present moment:
Worry not about that which is projected from the present moment into that which shall be a future moment. Do and be in this moment and allow each succeeding moment to be created from the harmony of this moment. It is natural for entities within your third-density illusion to move from the present moment and to reminisce about those previous experiences and to project those that may occur in your future, for the present moment is that which is the most illusory and difficult to comfortably place oneself within, for all of one’s life, then, is contained within that immediacy of experience which the present moment surrounds. And for most entities who have not consciously considered the purpose of the life pattern, the present moment is that which shall be escaped from. Thus, we would recommend that you share your Love at each present moment when it is felt and allow the moment to be enough unto itself.
Many people feel that they cannot be of service if they are not of dramatic service. This is not so. Each entity is of maximum service in the exact moment in which he asks the question, “How may I be of service?” And Latwii said by opening the eyes and gazing at what is in front of them. There lies the first service. Usually, it is not a new service, but, rather, one which has elicited from the self a somewhat less than totally positive service-to-others feeling. There is your first challenge, your first choice. Gaze at that situation and ask yourself what you need to reprogram within your biocomputer in order to express and manifest the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator to that entity in some form of service. The basic service of each of you is to be in a certain way, and this is that which we would especially point to our sister known as S. The entity needs to be concerned first with allowing the self to become cheerful, merry, lighthearted, and happy. If the experience is that of hardship, this is not unusual. Many are the prisoners, those in pain, and those in many other kinds of distress. No entity which is lonely, downhearted or distressed is ever truly alone, for it is as though there were a communion between each which is suffering and all others which are suffering. There is a commonality to this experience of difficulty, and in the face of seemed or perceived negative experience, it is often a great challenge to present an honestly positive affirmative and cheerful view of life, a smile or a light in the eye. If this is a difficulty for any, we recommend stopping any question of being of service to others and allowing that to remain upon the list of things to do someday.
For your first service is to be the individual that you are, for you are unique. You carry perfection within you, but you have molded it and distorted it in an unique way. Each of you is as a gem. Each, perhaps, feels very flawed, and expresses itself in a flawed manner, imperfect in many, many ways, yet each is also the Creator. When this is seen, the difficulties of achieving peace, cheerfulness, a positive attitude, are made much, much smaller, and with the aid of meditation, affirmations and prayer, and for those such as this instrument, the use of some gift such as singing, the state of mind which may be called centered may be achieved without purposeful or pompous effort in a relatively short number of years, considering how many lifetimes that you have been working upon how to love yourself, your Creator, and those whom you serve. It is not surprising that the acceleration of this learning process would take a bit of time. It is well to do that which makes one’s body, mind and spirit sing with joy. Failing such ideal circumstances, it is well simply to have hope, to be able to nurture and console the self and to wish to console and nurture others. Love, you see, is that which we come to speak about with you. It is too simple a thing to be drawn out by so many, many possible channels. That is why we always encourage those who wish to offer vocal channeling as a service to others, for each entity is, indeed, an individual. Each entity brings to the channeling, which it corroborates with us on, its own unique experience, vocabulary and thinking processes.
Now Latwii said many people feel that they cannot be of service if they are not of dramatic service, but this is not so, for each entity is of service in the moment in which they ask the question, “How may I be of service?” And Latwii said by opening the eyes and gazing at what is in front of them lies the first service, so it is not a new service, but one which has come from the self in a less than totally positive service-to-others feeling, and there is your first challenge and choice, so gaze at that situation and ask yourself what you need to reprogram within your biocomputer in order to manifest the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator to that entity in some form of service since the basic service of each of you is to be in a certain way, and this is that which we would especially point to our sister S, so the entity needs to be concerned with allowing the self to become lighthearted, but if the experience is that of hardship, this is not unusual, for many are the prisoners, and those in other kinds of distress, yet no entity which is lonely or distressed is ever truly alone, for it is as though there was a communion between each which is suffering, and there is a commonality to this experience of difficulty, and in the face of seemed or perceived negative experience, it is often a challenge to present a positive view of life, a smile, or a light in the eye, so if this is a difficulty for any, we recommend stopping any question of being of service to others and allowing that to remain upon the list of things to do someday. Then Latwii said your first service is to be the individual that you are, for you are unique, and you carry perfection within you, but you have distorted it in an unique way, for each of you is as a gem and expresses itself in a flawed manner, yet each is also the Creator, and when this is seen the difficulties of a positive attitude are made smaller, and with the aid of meditation, affirmations, and prayer the use of a gift such as singing the state of mind which may be called centered may be achieved without effort in a few years, considering how many lifetimes that you have been working upon how to Love yourself, your Creator, and those whom you serve, but it is not surprising that the acceleration of this learning process would take a bit of time, so it is well to do that which makes one’s body, mind, and spirit sing with joy, yet failing such ideal circumstances, it is well to have hope, to be able to nurture the self and to wish to nurture others, for Love is that which we come to speak about with you, but it is too simple a thing to be drawn out by so many possible channels, and that is why we encourage those who wish to offer vocal channeling as a service to others, for each entity is an individual. Each entity brings to the channeling its unique experience, vocabulary, and thinking processes. On November 12, 1995, Q’uo spoke about the original thought of Love:
The one great original Thought of Love that has set all into motion is the creation itself, that which you experience at this time and that which is beyond your current ability to perceive but which shall become more and more available to you as you progress in your own evolutionary journey. To say that the one great original Thought of Love is to somewhat misapply the term “Love,” for the one Thought of the Creator was the thought that It would know Itself. This is the concept of free will as you know it.
We are aware that there had been a question earlier within the group concerning trance channeling versus the conscious channeling and speaking only for the Confederation of Planets, we find that in most cases we do prefer that the instrument be in less than a complete state of trance. We enjoy the state this instrument is in, which is a, shall we say, medium amount of relaxation compared to sleep, but within the range which we find this instrument would call alpha. We began with paradox, for as we say, we cannot speak of that which is spiritual without speaking in terms of paradoxes. We are a voice upon the wind. Are we this instrument’s wiser, deeper self? In a way, that is true. Are we those of an independent identity? We are indeed. We are sorry—if that is the correct expression—to leave entities in a state of some confusion. We would like to be clearer, but there is only so much clarity possible within a limited language system. We find that one of your poets said if he contained multitudes, then so be it. My friends, each of you does, yet all of these multitudinous parts of the creation are part of your character, and that which we call character is expressed within your particular illusion by that which is called desire or will.
Once you have identified your goal, spiritually, seek it with persistence. Will to know that which you do wish to seek, whether it is a clearer idea of the nature of yourself or your situation. Whatever portion of experience you are working upon, allow the desire to be very clear and understandable to your conscious mind and acceptable in every way before you will it to be so, for that which you will to be so will come to you one way or another. Sometimes one wishes and receives that which one has not carefully thought out aforetimes, yet still one receives that which was requested. We ask you to be careful about that which you desire and to review that which you desire at intervals to see if you do wish to change the programming somewhat in your biocomputer. We encourage you to be intent…

(Carla channeling)
…you may take one thing away with you and leave all the rest, that would perhaps be our first priority. We would like you to get to know yourselves, and in the process of getting to know yourselves you shall know the Creator, you shall experience communion with the Creator in the way that you yourself may comprehend. And from that point onward, you shall have a feeling of yourself, a sense of yourself, a comfort within yourself which may nurture you, and strengthen, you and empower you when all around you does seem to be negative and difficult. We would ask each to take it very easy. If there is intensity that is causing difficulty, back away from it. If there is a sluggishness that you feel has paralyzed you, back away from it.
Latwii continued by saying we are aware that there was a question earlier within the group concerning trance channeling versus conscious channeling, and speaking only for the Confederation of Planets, we find that in most cases we do prefer that the instrument be in less than a complete state of trance, and we enjoy the state Carla is in which is a medium amount of relaxation compared to sleep but within the range which we find she would call alpha, but we began with a paradox, for we cannot speak of that which is spiritual without speaking in terms of paradoxes since we are a voice upon the wind, so: “Are we this instrument’s wiser, deeper self? In a way, that is true. Are we those of an independent identity?” So Latwii said we are, but we are sorry to leave entities in a state of confusion, for we would like to be clearer, but there is only so much clarity possible within a limited language system, and we find that one of your poets said if he contained multitudes, then so be it, yet each of you does, for all of these multitudinous parts of the creation are part of your character, and that which we call character is expressed within your illusion by desire or will. Now Latwii said once you have identified your spiritual goal, seek it with persistence and will to know that which you do wish to seek, whether it is a clearer idea of the nature of yourself or your situation, and whatever portion of experience you are working upon, allow the desire to be clear to your conscious mind and acceptable in every way before you will it to be so, for that which you will to be so will come to you one way or another, for sometimes one wishes and receives that which one has not carefully thought about, yet one receives that which was requested, but we ask you to review that which you desire at intervals to see if you do wish to change the programming in your mind, so you may take one thing away with you and leave all the rest, for we would like you to get to know yourselves, and in the process of getting to know yourselves you shall know the Creator, and you shall experience communion with the Creator in the way that you may comprehend, so from that point onward you shall have a sense of yourself and a comfort within yourself which may empower you when all around you seems to be difficult, so we ask each to take it easy, for if there is intensity that is causing difficulty, back away from it, or if there is a sluggishness that you feel has paralyzed you, back away from it. On November 6, 2016, Q’uo spoke of the value of having a sense of ourself:
This opening of the self to the deeper level of the mind is that which is best approached, shall we say, in a ritualistic fashion, so that you are seeing the releasing and revealing of universal energies, not only from without you, from the cosmos itself, but from within you where you may make contact with intelligent infinity through the indigo ray into the violet ray. When you pray certain prayers, these become the ritualized vehicles that configure your mind which is enriched by your heart in such and such a fashion as to make this contact with intelligent infinity possible. In this way, you also complete your tuning so that you are able to not only receive these impressions of concept from entities such as are we, but you are able to offer your challenge to entities who wish to speak through you.
Thus, you are armed, shall we say, with a sense of yourself that is infinite, that is powerful, that is Loving, that is desirous of serving. These are the qualities that you seek to enhance within your own being as you move into the role of an instrument—an instrument that is used by others, such as are we, who have the same desire as do you, to be of service to the One Creator in whatever form, or fashion, or function we may be. We find that there are many ways to serve, and that the way in which we are now offering ourself in service is one of the most gratifying, for we know that you will take that which we have to offer and not only use it for yourselves but will share it with others in your means of communication to those who regularly seek from you such inspiration and information.
Move to something that makes you merry, that causes you laughter, that moves the rubber band about the soul so that you may breathe, so that you are not constricted. Let yourself have fun; let the child express itself. Then move back with a full heart and single-minded devotion to your goals. Let them be those of service to others and let your efforts be the best that you can produce. And let there be no emphasis placed upon the outcome of your efforts, for your efforts may fail or succeed, yet it is not important to your own choice-making procedure, as long as you may see that the best which you could do is done, and the outcome does not matter, for when you are expressing from a centered, Loving portion of being, you are, in fact, acting as a channel for a higher self, still yourself, yet more beautiful, more focused, certainly more enduring. You are able to shine a Light through yourself, and you are then a great blessing. We would end by a word about destiny. You asked us many questions, my friends, and it was hoped that we would be able to say more, but we find that this instrument is telling us we must speak briefly and leave, so that there is time for questions. We would say a few words about destiny and the stars.
Very briefly, the understanding that we have of what you call stars is that they are entities, radiant with the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator, that they send into the energy web of each a certain energy which affects that higher or finer body which may be called the form-maker body in a metaphysical sense, so that certain subconscious feelings and biases are part of the geography or topology of the mind just below the surface mind. Therefore, on a given day, the influences of what the instrument would call heavenly bodies may be noted and charted as astrologers, we find, do. It is very much the same as gazing at a map of roads which cover your nation state and saying that because there is a map of these roads, the journey is predestined. One may take any road which one desires, but upon that road, one will find certain things. One will find whatever one sees to be a certain way based upon the self that one is. There is always the subject bias which moves from total consensus reality to the individual perception.
Latwii continued by saying move to something that makes you merry, that moves the rubber band about the soul so that you may breathe, so let yourself have fun, and let the child express itself, and then move back with a full heart and single-minded devotion to your goals, and let them be those of service to others, so let your efforts be the best that you can produce, but let there be no emphasis placed upon the outcome of your efforts, for your efforts may fail or succeed, yet it is not important to your own choice-making procedure as long as you may see that the best which you could do is done, and the outcome does not matter, for when you are expressing from a centered, Loving portion of being, you are acting as a channel for a higher self, more beautiful and more enduring, for you are able to shine a Light through yourself, and you are a blessing, and we would end by a word about destiny, for you asked us many questions, for it was hoped that we would be able to say more, but we find that this instrument is telling us we must speak briefly and leave, so that there is time for questions, so we would say a few words about destiny and the stars.

On February 15, 1987, Q’uo spoke about our individual perception:
Yet, if one directs the attention and the desire to know the nature of things beyond the exterior appearance of things and begins to move into the heart of all things, and thought, and activity, one may with such a focused attention begin to harmonize the individual perception of each portion of the creation which surrounds one, thus bringing into a coherent pattern various portions of the creation which with renewed dedication of seeking begin to fit as one part of a puzzle fitting into another, and another, and another, so that the creation one perceives begins to take on a form, and a feeling, and a purpose, and an experience of unity becomes more and more possible for such a seeker and such a focused point of viewing the creation about it.
Each choice is, indeed, made with free will, however, and the higher self, which is you also, had quite a meeting before this incarnation, my friends. Each of you knew this was an important one for you. Each of you knew that you were very lucky, and shall we say, more than lucky, that you had earned the right to this incarnation, for there are many more souls who wish to incarnate at this time than there are opportunities. This planet is in a state where much may be learned quickly, if one has determination and persistence, for it is a painful, difficult, ordeal to move through the valley of the shadow of death and to look at each experience without attempting to make anything of it. The basic kind of experience one has within your illusion is that of loss, as we find this instrument heard the one known as Joseph Campbell say, “Life is loss.” This meant a good deal to this instrument, and we use it with thanks. This is indeed so. It is the self within you which chooses to respond to the love inside which is felt within, to the love outside which is perceived by gazing at the creation without it.
It is that will and faith which has been developed within and without, not gazing at the affairs of the day, but by gazing within at consciousness and without at the world of what this instrument calls the natural world that one begins to develop a sense of the beauty and the goodness and the consolation and the Light and the joy that is reality. For all that you experience in this third density, or in our density, is illusion. None of us sees plain. Yet, within may we experience more and more purely the Love of the one great original Thought of Love. Thus, you have chosen to learn certain things, and those certain things will make up your incarnational pattern. If you do not like the pattern as it is at this time, make up the mind with determination to desire to learn the lesson which is being offered to you. Gaze at it. Find the Love in it. Analyze it. Meditate upon it. Allow your intuition to develop. Yet, always, if it is too serious, if you are unhappy, if you are tense and troubled, back away and sing a song, or play, or laugh, or move the body in rhythm or make something with whatever portion of yourself desires to create freely. The universe, as far as we know, exists at a steady level of joy. You know it when you experience that which you call the sexual orgasm. That is the steady state of reality. That is the intensity which created the physical vehicle in which you now express. That is the beginning of one way of understanding the Creator.
Now Latwii said each choice is made with free will, and the higher self, which is you, had a meeting before this incarnation, so each of you knew this was an important one for you, for each of you knew that you were lucky, and you had earned the right to this incarnation, for there are more souls who wish to incarnate at this time than there are opportunities, for this planet is in a state where much may be learned quickly, if one has persistence, for it is a painful ordeal to move through the valley of the shadow of death and to look at each experience without attempting to make anything of it since the kind of experience one has within your illusion is that of loss, for it is the self within you which chooses to respond to the Love inside which is felt within, to the Love outside which is perceived by gazing at the creation without it.

On August 19, 1984, Hatonn described the nature of the sexual orgasm:
We say to you, my friends, you dwell in a universe so beautiful, so harmonious, so unified, so totally full of Love, that words are never enough to begin to acquaint you with the character of that which you may call reality. You experience one reality which by its very nature has the potential of transcending space and time. That is the sexual orgasm. If you could imagine this experience as a steady state, you would begin to understand the character and the nature of reality. There is a great hunger to experience this in each seeker, and we encourage this hunger, we urge you onward. Once you have experienced one moment of this reality, you will not subjectively doubt the validity of your seeking.
May you be blessed in your search, my friends, May you be comforted within and may you comfort and serve each other in Love and in joy. We are those known to you as Latwii. I would wish at this time to transfer to the one known as Jim in order that we may close through this instrument. I transfer at this time.
(Jim channeling)
I am Latwii. We greet each again in Love and light through this instrument. At this time, it is our privilege to ask if there might be any queries remaining upon the minds of those gathered. Is there any query at this time?
Questioner: [Inaudible]… around the greatest or a significantly large part of our energy through our food, yet there is great evidence that a greater part of the energy comes from without. And I would like your response to that question as it affects the vitality of all people. How much of the energy that actually drives our body and our spirit comes from without [inaudible]?
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. Your physical vehicle is similar to the furnace which must be stoked in order that it might provide the means by which it shall move through your daily round of activities. The physical vehicle, therefore, is the primary beneficiary of the food which you ingest. However, the physical vehicle is also enlivened, as is the mental and as is the spiritual vehicle, by those energies which are not of the food description, shall we say. Each moment of your existence there is fed into your energy centers or the system of chakras, as many have called them, a kind of energy which is described in many ways by many of your peoples according to their study of their culture and their religious or spiritual histories. Some would call this energy the prana, the breath of the Creator. Others would call it Love; others light. Others a combination of these qualities, a kind of intelligent energy which is the daily and moment by moment gift of the one Creator. This energy enters into the physical vehicle or the electrical energy fields, the aura of the physical vehicle, through the soles of the feet and thereupon through the base energy center located at the foundation or base of the spine, moving upwards through the various centers of energy which represent the qualities of one’s character as a human being, thus allowing one to participate within the realm of the humankind to the degree that one has chosen previous to the incarnation and, increasingly, as the incarnation, progress as one has chosen in a conscious fashion to utilize. The mental and spiritual complexes or bodies of each entity are motivated in large part by this intelligent energy, with the spiritual complex partaking also of a quality of energy that one may describe as unity, or, as we find some in this group would call it, intelligent infinity, which is the quality of beingness that the one Creator draws upon in order to create the creation and each portion of it. This quality of beingness, then, that enlivens the spiritual complex is the primary connection that the entity partakes in with all of the creation. It is that which ensures and sustains its very essence, the being that is never separate from the one Creator or from any portion of the creation.
The mental complex or body is somewhat nourished in what you might call a second-handed fashion, therefore, by its connection to the spiritual body and partakes of the quality or energy of beingness through that connection. The Love and the Light of the one Creator are the primary energy sources that are daily utilized in a conscious acting by each entity as these energies move through the chakras or the energy centers enlivening the need for survival and reproduction; moving upwards, two, the relationship with the self; moving further, three, the relationship with those of the family and friends known well to the entity; moving upwards further, four, the relationship of the self to all about one, whether known or unknown; moving further to five, the establishment of clear and freely given communication with all of those about one, sharing freely that which has been learned; moving further up the energy centers, six, to the quality of being that radiates without words; moving to the final center, seven, the reunion of the entity with the one Creator as the energies have been activated one upon the other by the conscious application of analysis, prayer, and meditation upon the daily round of activities that have been made possible by the infusion of the intelligent energy, the Love and the Light of the one Creator, through the energy centers. All this in turn taking place because the physical vehicle has been energized by these energies as well as the food that powers its movement and its existence within your reality.
Questioner asked: “There is great evidence that a greater part of the energy comes from without. And I would like your response to that question as it affects the vitality of all people. How much of the energy that actually drives our body and our spirit comes from without [inaudible]?” Latwii replied your body is similar to the furnace which must be stoked in order that it might provide the means by which it shall move through your daily round of activities, so the body is the beneficiary of the food which you eat, but the body is also enlivened, as is the mental and the spiritual vehicles by those energies which are not of the food description, for each moment of your existence there is fed into your chakras a kind of energy which is described in many ways by your people according to their study of their culture and their religious or spiritual histories, so some would call this energy the prana, the breath of the Creator, and others would call it Love or Light, yet others a kind of intelligent energy which is the moment by moment gift of the one Creator, and this energy enters into the electrical energy fields, the aura of the physical vehicle, through the soles of the feet and then through the base energy center located at the base of the spine, moving upwards through the centers of energy which represent the qualities of one’s character as a human being and allows one to participate within the realm of humankind to the degree that one has chosen previous to the incarnation, and the incarnation progresses as one has chosen to utilize, so the mental and spiritual complexes of each entity are motivated in by this intelligent energy, with the spiritual complex partaking also of a quality of energy that one may describe as unity or intelligent infinity which is the quality of beingness that the one Creator draws upon in order to create the creation and each portion of it, for this quality of beingness that enlivens the spiritual complex is the primary connection that the entity partakes in with all of the creation since it is that which sustains its essence, the being that is never separate from the one Creator or from any portion of the creation. Now Latwii said the mental complex is nourished in a second-handed fashion by its connection to the spiritual body and partakes of the energy of beingness through that connection, for the Love and the Light of the one Creator are the primary energy sources that are daily utilized in a conscious way by each entity as these energies move through the chakras enlivening the need for survival and reproduction; moving upwards at two, the relationship with the self; moving further, at three, the relationship with those of the family and friends known well to the entity; moving upwards further, to four, the relationship of the self to all about one, whether known or unknown; moving further to five, the establishment of clear and freely given communication with all of those about one, sharing freely that which has been learned; moving further up the energy centers, to six, the quality of being that radiates without words; moving to the final center, to seven, the reunion of the entity with the one Creator as the energies have been activated one upon the other by the conscious application of analysis, prayer, and meditation upon the daily basis that has been made possible by the infusion of the Love and the Light of the one Creator through the energy centers, and all this taking place because the body has been energized by these energies as well as the food that powers its movement and its existence within your reality. On March 21, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our spiritual body:
The deep waters that surround each moment are not apparent to one skating upon the surface of life. It is those who are brave enough to dive into the present moment and to gain its fruits by thirst and hunger, seeking like the hart that “pants after the water brook” as this instrument would quote from her Bible, that the self becomes a honed instrument, a crystal radio, that is waiting silently, empty handedly, to receive the information that comes through the shuttle of the gateway to intelligent infinity that is the spiritual body.
Is there another query, my brother?
Questioner: It appears when I hear how you speak of your entity that you are part of this group which are communicating psychically, which means… First of all, is this true, and secondly, can you also understand our thoughts psychically, and those are the two preliminary questions. The main question I want to know: is it possible for us to communicate between ourselves psychically? Is this a skill that we can learn?
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. Our communication is quite simplified by the fact that the nature of our illusion, our reality, is one which is quite transparent. We are both unable and unwilling to hide any thought or any quality of our being from another within our complex, for it is our nature at this point within our evolution to share freely and openly all that we have learned of the one Creator, of our evolutionary journey and of our desire to be of service to others.To move to the second query, we could telepathically perceive those thoughts within your mental complex if we desired to, however, it is our desire to respect the privacy of each entity that calls for our service. Therefore, we restrict our abilities, shall we say, to those queries which are verbalized, in order that we may not only speak to the point, but may respect the privacy which those of your people value greatly.
To move to the third portion of your query. The means of telepathic contact and communication may, indeed, be learned by those of your people who have great persistence, not only in attempting to learn this specific skill, but in attempting first to explore the self to the degree that is necessary in order to provide a, what you would call, clear channel transmitter and receiver, for many are the thoughts and tangles and thoughts waiting untangling that serve as a kind of static, shall we say, that interferes with this ability to communicate in a telepathic sense. We find that the Logos or that great Being of the octave level of intelligence which is responsible for this portion of the creation has found it helpful for those within its care and guidance to depend within the third-density illusion upon the verbalized and symbolized communication, rather than the telepathic type of communication, for this enhances the use of catalyst, shall we say, or the opportunity to learn that is the purpose of your third-density illusion. To state this in another way, were the ability to communicate in a telepathic manner widely utilized and ordinarily utilized within your illusion, there would be far less mystery as concerns the unity of all of the creation and far less motivation to penetrate this mystery. Therefore, the added challenge of verbalized and symbolized communication is seen as a means by which the evolutionary process might be enhanced for your people, causing as it does the increased desire to know more of the nature of the self and of the creation.
Questioner asked:” It appears when I hear how you speak of your entity that you are part of this group which are communicating psychically, which means… First of all, is this true, and secondly, can you also understand our thoughts psychically, and those are the two preliminary questions. The main question I want to know: is it possible for us to communicate between ourselves psychically?

Latwii went on by saying to move to the third portion of your query the means of telepathic contact may be learned by those of your people who have persistence, not only in attempting to learn this skill but in attempting to explore the self to the degree that is necessary in order to provide a clear channel transmitter and receiver, for many are the thoughts waiting untangling that serve as a kind of static that interferes with this ability to communicate in a telepathic sense, for we find that the Logos of the octave level of intelligence, which is responsible for this portion of the creation, has found it helpful for those within its care to depend within the third-density illusion upon the verbalized and symbolized communication, rather than the telepathic type of communication, for this enhances the use of catalyst, or the opportunity to learn that is the purpose of your third-density illusion, for to state this in another way, were the ability to communicate in a telepathic manner widely within your illusion, there would be less mystery as concerns the unity of all of the creation and far less motivation to penetrate this mystery, but the added challenge of verbalized and symbolized communication is seen as a means by which the evolutionary process might be enhanced for your people, causing the increased desire to know more of the nature of the self and of the creation. On August 31, 1986, Latwii described the nature of the evolutionary process:
We shall in our description take that which is called by this source “true knowledge” and define it as that which is true for a certain entity during a certain incarnation and not necessarily that which is ageless and timeless and that which any entity may refer to as a fundamental principle of the evolutionary process. That which is true for an entity is that which reflects the pre-incarnative choices for learning and serving in as pure a manner as possible.
It is, in our humble opinion, generally correct that an entity may more clearly know what is true for it in its pattern of learning through that complex of the emotions, for this biasing or coloration of experience that is called emotions is that which is a direct line, shall we say, to the pre-incarnative choices, for the unconscious mind, pre-incarnatively programmed, will color a situation in such and such a fashion according to the preincarnative choice, and this coloration then becomes perceivable to the entity through that faculty of the emotions. It is in this way that the entity becomes aware of what is true for it at a certain moment, of what it truly believes or feels aside from that which it consciously or intellectually may wish to believe or may ascribe to.
Thus, the emotions are the barometer, or shall we say the temperature gauge for an entity, in that the emotions show to the entity the degree of feeling or bias that the entity has toward any thought, word, or action, and by becoming aware of this biasing within the emotional self the entity then may take this biasing, this emotional coloration and work with it in a fashion that attempts to balance the emotional charge, so that the final product is that quality known as Love or acceptance. Thus, the emotions point to that which is in need of balance and which when worked with in an efficient manner may then yield a lack of emotion, a lack of coloration, and may finally yield that quality known as Love.
Is there another query, my brother?
Questioner: Just a verification. Does this mean, when we pray, if we’re praying to the Lord for help or whatever, should we verbalize it?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. It is not necessary to verbalize such prayers or invocations, though it does not affect their quality, shall we say, for as one prays in a certain manner and to a certain entity, or quality, or concept, there is developed a certain, shall we say, pathway that moves quite accurately and swiftly to the source or focus of the prayer, and is as the ringing of the telephone within your culture, so that whether the prayer is mentally given or verbally spoken, the intent of the prayer and the content of the prayer are those qualities which are of importance and which will receive an answer of one kind or another.
Is there another query, my brother?
Questioner: No, thank you.
Questioner: I’ve increasingly become interested reading about a form of psychotherapy which has as its basis, I think, that the free flow of energy through the body is essential for human happiness and human function. They contend that when the muscles of the body harden, as a way of reacting against negative situations, for example, that occur in your life, that are reacting the same way, certain muscle groups in the body become “hardened,” is the only way I can say it against this particular negative thing, and they claim that this hardening impedes the flow of the energy in the body. And I guess I just want you to comment on this. Indeed, is this true, because I’ve always thought of the energy of the body as flowing through the nervous system more than anything, but if the muscles are restricting in an abnormal manner, does this restrict the flow of energy to the body?
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. This, in a general sense, is, indeed, quite correct. However, it is more the outgrowth of a more fundamental blockage of another energy flow. This energy flow is that which is of the mental nature, for the lessons of your illusion, the catalysts of your illusion, move first to the mental complex, for the process of evolution within the creation is primarily a mental process whereby the consciousness that is developing its individual expression of the one Creator slowly but surely widens its point of viewing until it is able to see, accept, Love, and forgive all about it as it would the one Creator, for, indeed, it eventually sees all as the one Creator, including the self. When there is a limitation of the viewpoint, and the mental configuration of an entity is unable to accept some portion of its experience, some portion of itself or another self which represents itself to it, then that energy which moves through the entity is constricted to some degree according to the limitation of the viewpoint which the entity has placed upon itself.
This continuing blockage of energy of the mental nature, when allowed to be prolonged without significant movement in understanding, then is given to the physical vehicle in some symbolized manner that will be noticed by the mind more quickly, it is hoped, than it was noticed in its original mental configuration. Therefore, the hardening of certain muscle groups, as you have called them, as well as many ailments which move into various of the organs and structural portions of the physical vehicle are representations in a symbolic fashion of the original blockage of energy which first took place within the mind complex. Therefore, the removal of the physical blockages of energy and their various expressions or manifestations is most effectively undertaken first upon the mental level and then allowed to move into the physical level as a result of working first upon the source or root of the blockage. The focus upon the physical blockage only, or before focusing upon the mental, tends to work primarily upon the symptoms, shall we say, or the outgrowth of the root cause.

On November 13, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the root cause of physical blockages of energy:
None of those within this circle find it comfortable to experience life as it comes to them from the everyday experience of untuned conversation with others and the everyday, workaday world. It is that mismatch of vibrations that is the root cause of the difficulties that you now feel.
It is well to examine those areas in which you have discussed feeling discomfort. The area of the stomach is that area of orange and yellow chakra energy in which personal relationships and interactions with groups such as family and jobs are experienced. As you sit at the end of the day, it is very helpful to look back upon those things which have moved you one way or the other during that day, which tightened your stomach, which tightened your shoulders and your back, which made your emotions tighten up. In all of these contracting energies lies fear. Where have you picked up that fear? Where are the threads of that fear? That is for you to examine and to probe. And we may say that in some cases, entities have chosen the recurring of physical symptoms to nudge them back on a track towards the inner life during times when they have taken on inappropriate amounts of physical work.
Is there another query, my brother?
Questioner: No. Thank you very much.
I am Latwii, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?
Questioner: Yes, I have one. Actually, two, which in some way seem connected. The first is simple, and that’s to ask you whether all of the entities who exist within your complex or your density, whether at one time did they all live on this Earth? And the second part of the question is, is there one religion on this Earth which is more valid or beneficial than any other?
I am Latwii. To speak to the first query. We are not native to your planetary influence, but we have had the honor of sending many of our people to your planetary influence in order that they might partake within your incarnational process for the purpose of lending their Light to your planet and its evolution. Each such entity which undertakes this honor and this responsibility of service goes through the same process of forgetting that which has come before the current incarnation as does each of your planet’s population. It is hoped that each entity which offers itself in this capacity of service will at some point within the incarnation begin to remember a portion of the reason why it has done what it has done and will begin to offer that service which is its service peculiar to itself, to offer those about it in the attempt to lighten, shall we say, the vibrations of your planet. We offer ourselves in this capacity as a means both of serving those of planets such as your own and of moving our own evolutionary progress further along, for it is by service that we learn most effectively and it is a great honor and joy for us to do so.
I am Latwii, and we thank the one known as Carla for reminding us of the second portion of the query. We feel that each of the religions and philosophical stands which have been taken and followed in the history of the cultures of your planet each have a great deal to offer those which have the character necessary to follow each. This is to say that we do not find one particular…
[Tape ends.]
This morning the quote from Practicing the Presence is: “In our frantic modern day race for supremacy in armaments and material strength it becomes necessary to stop and ask ourselves: Where does all this end? Are superiority and size all there is to power?
Those who are materially minded have but the “arm of flesh.” Thos who recognize God as the only power live without fear, with no concern for external power, regardless of its size. Whether it is a high fever, dire poverty, or a hydrogen bomb, it is but the “arm of flesh” whereas we have that which is invisible. We have that which cannot be touched for “no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” Just as David went forth to meet Goliath, armed with faith in God, so can we meet any suggestion of inharmony by our recognition of one power.
In the material sense of life, the word “protection” carries with it the connotation of defense or armaments, of a hiding place from an enemy, or of some means of withdrawal from danger. In the mental sciences, protection implies some thought or idea, or some form of prayer that would save one from injury or harm. The word “protection” suggests a destructive or harmful activity, presence, or power exiting somewhere from which one must find safety.
The moment the idea of God as one begins to dawn in consciousness, we understand that in all this world there is no power and no presence from which we need protection. We shall see this as we dwell of the word “omnipresence” and realize that in this all-presence of good we are completely alone with divine harmony, harmony which pervades and permeates consciousness and is in itself the allness and the onlyness of good.”
Let us ponder this idea and meditate upon it. The revelation and assurance comes to us from within our own being that that is true: there is but one, and because of the nature of that one there is no outside influence for either good or evil. There is no presence or power to which to pray for any good that does not already exist as omnipresence, right where we are. In our periods of communion we feel the infinity of God’s presence. There is no other Power; there is no other Presence; there is no destructive or harmful influence in any person, place, or thing; there is no evil in any condition. God is one, and there cannot be an existence separate and apart from that one.”
Later this morning I went outside and transplanted 2 flats of Yellow and Orange Marigolds on the top of the Wuthering Heights Mound in the front yard. Then I watered them with fertilized water.
This afternoon I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow leaves in my backyard and the west end of my neighbor’s driveway. Then I put them into 6 garbage cans, and then I put the garbage cans at the end of my driveway.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

The Sanctified Nature Of Cycles
I am the Holy Spirit of the nature of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you with the full consciousness of Love.
Make up your minds to look about you today and open your heart to what you see. You shall see that which is barely growing, that which is in bloom, that which is ending its manifestation, and that in which there seems to be no more life.
This is true of growing things in nature, of pilgrim souls upon their journeys and of each institution made by humans and by God. Perhaps you will begin to see the sanctified nature of the cycles of birth and death which are appropriate and beautiful in the continually changing and evolving creation of Love.
Growth means change, and change is perceived as difficult. May you, today, see the rightness of the rhythms of your experience, celebrating in them the beauty of perfection.
We leave you in the peace of the understanding of the harmonious plan of a Loving God, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen
