I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from January 25, 1976:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am among you. I am within you. I AM. My friends, dwell now within the I AM that you are. For I AM, not only now but always. Before this world was created and when it is long since passed again into infinite space, I AM. The creation began with consciousness, the consciousness of one vibration, each and every particle totally unified, totally homogeneous, of only one identity, that identity being Love.

We use the word Love because of the bias which it contains within your language. The word, consciousness, my friends, is a slightly more accurate word, yet this consciousness is the consciousness which creates. Therefore, we must use the word Love. For the force of Love as you understand it in your density is the indwelling of the creative force within your sphere of experience. So, the creation began in an infinite and constant state of Love, vibrating infinitely and in unity. And this creation sent forth the power of Love to differentiate into entities that could dwell in self-knowledge, in unity, yet in knowledge of unity.

This, my friends, is described in your Garden of Eden, and in all worlds and universes there are descriptions which, within each culture, describe the state of self-awareness of unity. This was the beginning of the cycles.

The theme of this session was the basic consciousness of Love. Hatonn began by saying I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, and I am among you; I am within you, and I AM, so dwell now within the I AM that you are, for I AM, not only now but always, so before this world was created and when it has passed again into infinite space, I AM, for the creation began with the consciousness of one vibration, each particle totally unified, totally homogeneous, of only one identity, that identity being Love. Hatonn went on to say they use the word Love because of the bias which it contains within our language, but the word, consciousness, is a more accurate word, yet this consciousness is the consciousness which creates, so they must use the word Love, for the force of Love as they understand it in our density is the indwelling of the creative force within our sphere of experience, so the creation began in an infinite and constant state of Love, vibrating infinitely and in unity, and this creation sent forth the power of Love to differentiate into entities that could dwell in self-knowledge, in unity, yet in knowledge of unity, so this is described in our Garden of Eden, and in all worlds and universes there are descriptions which, within each culture, describe the state of self-awareness of unity, and so this was the beginning of the cycles. On March 11, 2023, Q’uo spoke about the power of Love:

The heart is indeed the most central chakra or energy center within the human body and within the energy body. That is the measure of an entity’s spiritual evolution. The heart is that which can be opened to the infinite Love of the One Creator that made the universe by the power of Love and each entity, and substance, and quality, and plant by the power of Love. The power of Love is a kind of medicine, shall we say, of the spiritual nature. It is that which sustains your spiritual life. The open heart is that which can become an enlivener to those around you as you shine your love and light and unconditional Love to those around you.

And there arose within these entities in your Garden, shall we say, a knowledge to be self aware, not only of unity, but of separation. And in doing so, in choosing this path, the dimensions were born. For these entities had chosen a path which, in separation, cannot express the unity of all with all. The vibrations of knowledge of separation must travel downward through many, many frequencies, and as consciousness traveled downward, it formed a great and infinite array of potential experiences on many, many levels, one of which you are now at this time experiencing. You are experiencing separation. That is the meaning of your physical being. With your senses, you can only feel that which is within yourself, only that which comes to your own ears, and eyes, and hands. You can only taste that which is given to your own experience. This incarnation, my brothers, is an incarnation of loneliness and pain, for separation is such.

Why have you come here, my friends? Why now do you vibrate in sympathy with loneliness and separation? Why now must you accept pain? May we say, my brothers, so all entities will choose to do while they are learning to seek the healing from that pain. We seek to give you, shall we say, some distance on your problems. Not that they are not important, we do not say that. Nor do we say that they are a mere nothing to be ignored, for you were not invested with a physical form in order to ignore what is happening to you in the physical. Yet know that these things are occurring to you in such a way that you will not be tested beyond your ability, for you have yourself chosen these lessons. You have yourself chosen this pain. And you hope very dearly, in your higher self, to learn from this pain the lessons that you have come here to learn.

Hatonn continued by saying there arose within these entities in your Garden a knowledge to be self-aware, not only of unity, but of separation, and in choosing this path the dimensions were born, for these entities had chosen a path which, in separation, cannot express the unity of all with all because the vibrations of knowledge of separation must travel downward through many frequencies, and as consciousness traveled downward, it formed an infinite array of experiences on many levels, one of which we are at this time experiencing as one of separation, so that is the meaning of our physical being, for with our senses we can feel that which is within our self which comes to our ears, eyes, and hands, and we can only taste that which is given to our experience, for this incarnation is an incarnation of loneliness and pain, for separation is such. Then Hatonn said that we have come here to vibrate in sympathy with loneliness and separation and to accept pain, so we will choose to do this while we are learning to seek the healing from pain, so Hatonn seeks to give us some distance from our problems, but they do not say that they are not important, nor do they say that they are nothing to be ignored, for we were not invested with a physical form in order to ignore what is happening to us in the physical, yet we know that these things are occurring to us in such a way that we will not be tested beyond our ability, for we have chosen these lessons and this pain, and we hope in our higher self to learn from this pain the lessons that we have come here to learn. On May 19, 1985, L/Leema spoke of the nature of our unity with all things:

I am L/Leema, and, my brother, we can state that as you continue to seek the one Creator and unity of all things, you shall become more and more aware, as you have stated. It is not necessary to speak with those unseen or to have communications of this variety in order to become more aware of your process of seeking. To desire such knowledge and experience is all that is necessary, for it has been written in that holy work previously mentioned that as you seek, you shall find; as you ask, it shall be answered; and as you knock, the doors shall be opened, for this is a law of the universe which functions without exception, for that which you seek is within your own being. You are all things.

It is a hard thing to ask yourself to trust in your own judgment when you do not have the ability to face your higher self in the flesh, so to speak. You cannot say to your higher self, “Look, I think this is more than I can take. I don’t think I can handle this. Why don’t we go back and do this over?” You don’t have that satisfaction, my friends. You must trust that the self that placed you in the situation you are now in knew and understood your capabilities and, though ambitious of learning as much as possible, did not plan things so as to test you beyond your limit. The more lessons you learn, my friends, in this incarnation, the more progress that you will make. It is not to rejoice at pain, but to understand that within pain there is peace when you are convinced within yourself that you have tried as much as possible to learn the lesson that is buried within the experience.

We have said to you many times, you must go within and seek the Creator. If you are seeking the Creator, the Creator will provide that which is necessary to you. And today we emphasize also that which is secondarily true: in your fellow friends, seek to do service. Your energy may go most effectively for that one seeking within the physical. In the inner worlds, seek to know the Creator, and in the outer world seek to do service to the Creator who is all around you. The Creator will aid all who trust in the Creator, no matter how they are acting, just as the pain which you are now experiencing will fall, as is written in your holy works, on the just and the unjust alike.

Then Hatonn said it is a hard thing to ask our self to trust in our own judgment when we do not have the ability to face our higher self in the flesh, and we cannot say to our higher self: “Look, I think this is more than I can take. I don’t think I can handle this. Why don’t we go back and do this over?” Then Hatonn said that we don’t have that satisfaction because we must trust that the self that placed us in the situation we are now in knew our capabilities and, though ambitious of learning as much as possible, did not plan things so as to test us beyond our limit, so the more lessons we learn in this incarnation, the more progress that we will make, and it is not to rejoice at pain, but to understand that within pain there is peace when we are convinced within our self that we have tried as much as possible to learn the lesson that is buried within the experience. Hatonn continued by saying they have said to us that we must go within and seek the Creator because if we are seeking the Creator, the Creator will provide that which is necessary for us, and today they emphasize also that which is secondarily true:  that in our fellow friends, we can seek to serve, and our energy may go most effectively for that one seeking within the physical, for in the inner worlds, we must seek to know the Creator, and in the outer world we seek to do service to the Creator who is all around us, and the Creator will aid all who trust in the Creator, no matter how they are acting, just as the pain which we are now experiencing will fall, as is written in our holy works, on the just and the unjust alike. On September 27, 1981, Hatonn suggested that we go within meditation to seek the Creator:

There is also another source which you may find that may also be described as the Comforter, spoken of by the entity called Jesus. This source may be found by each entity so seeking in meditation, for as you still your mind, as you open your heart, and as you open your innermost being to the Creator in love, there shall you find that small, still voice within, which shall also be of great comfort to you as you proceed on that path of spiritual evolution.

We of Hatonn have through many instruments and in many of your meditations spoken of the necessity for meditation for those who wish to seek the Creator. Within meditation shall you find the Creator. Within meditation, shall you find the fruits of your labor of evolution.

Yet, in your own experience, it would be much more helpful for you to use energy in helping to the best of your ability those about you, whether or not they are seeming to help you, whether or not service seems to be offered unto you. It is written in your Holy works: one must love one’s Creator and one’s friend as oneself. We say to you again, it is not necessary to love one’s self on the level of the human, as you call it. Yet you see the Creator, and love the Creator, in the Creator and in you, for that is the same. Then you are loving yourself and yourself in the Creator and the Creator in each of you.

There is a cliché that is within this channel’s mind, that every cloud has a silver lining. And we would add to that that sometimes a fruit may seem to be inedible, for the skin may be tough and pitted. Yet when you peel it, the fruit within is still succulent, and tasty, and delicious. Experiences are like this, even the most inconvenient. Be of good cheer, my friends, and remember to attempt not only to seek the Creator in meditation, but to seek the Creator within your fellow beings. With the armor of your inner guidance, and your light before you on the path, there is nothing that can harm you. We have wanted to give you these words of comfort, for each of you is undergoing at this time some difficulty, not the same, yet as we have said, all difficulties within the physical have one thing in common, that is, the emotional or physical or mental pain. Be of good cheer. There is no pain within the garden—and the garden is within you.

Hatonn went on by saying in our own experience, it would be more helpful for us to use energy in helping, to the best of our ability, those about us, whether or not they are seeming to help us, or whether or not service seems to be offered to us as it is written in our Holy works: one must love one’s Creator and one’s friend as oneself, and they say to us again, it is not necessary to love our self on the level of the human, yet we see the Creator, and love the Creator, in the Creator and within us, for that is the same, so then we are loving our self and our self within the Creator and the Creator in each of us. Then Hatonn said here is a cliché that is within Carla’s mind, that every cloud has a silver lining, and they would add to that that sometimes a fruit may seem to be inedible, for the skin may be tough and pitted, yet when we peel it, the fruit within is still succulent, and tasty, so experiences are like this, even the most inconvenient, so be of good cheer, and remember to attempt not only to seek the Creator in meditation, but to seek the Creator within our fellow beings, for with the armor of our inner guidance, and our light before us on the path, there is nothing that can harm us, so they have wanted to give us these words of comfort, for each of us is undergoing some difficulty, yet all difficulties within the physical have one thing in common, that of the emotional, physical, or mental pain, so be of good cheer because there is no pain within the garden, and the garden is within us. On May 26, 1991, Hatonn spoke of how we can provide words of comfort to our self:

When the tongue of judgment is quieted, the tongue of joy and peace is loosened, and one may speak to the self while working on the personality, attempting to understand it and see the balances that are desired. In words of comfort and support from the self to the self, the open heart creates the opportunity for the entity to fall in love with itself, to love it dearly, not simply as a perfect expression of the perfect Creator. That is relatively irrelevant to the experiences of choices made. It falls in love with itself with all self-perceived imperfections thriving gloriously. It sees the self in all its rambunctious childishness, and nods happily, saying, “Yes, that is humanness, I recognize it, and I embrace it.”

The heart is no longer, then, the “rag and bone shop,” the place where sad memories are wrapped in tissues only to be opened again, that the scent of failure may be relished. The open heart itself has a yard sale, and sells off all of its rags and bones to the universe, to the Mother that is your Earth, to the deep healing essence of your planetary caretaker, the Earth itself. It is often well when one is attempting to achieve the open heart to take all the judgments and name them, and take a stone for each one and name the stone and name the judgment, and bury these stones and the judgments that they carry in the breast of the Mother, the Earth of your planet. And then hold the hands on high, and say, “Mother, take this for I know not how to heal it, and I know you do.”

I would leave you at this time, my friends. I leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai.

This morning I used the garden hose and sprinkler to water my flower gardens in the front yard, side yard, and back yard for about half an hour in each location. Later in the morning I transplanted more Begonias in the two small flower gardens behind the fishpond and covered them with netting to protect them from the deer.

This afternoon I used the carpet sweeper to clean the carpet in Benny’s apartment upstairs. Then I used a wet mop to clean the floors in all three rooms upstairs. Then I went outside, and hand weeded the Spirea Bush Garden on the west side of the fishpond and the Astilbe Garden in the corner of the back yard. Then I watered the Dahlia Garden in the Sun Mandala behind the garage.

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

The Hope Of Light

I am the living Spirit of the consciousness of Love.

I am of a principle of being without personality as you know it, of being rooted in and upheld in Love, in a Love that is clear, undiluted and bright, a Love that may dance within the Light of those who dwell even in the innermost shades of the earthly life and illumine those dark penumbras of living.

Consider yourselves among those who have every hope of Light and Love regardless of the situation which appears before you. For the Spirit of the living God penetrates to every heart.

The peace of Christ be with you, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from January 11, 1976:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am with you, as always. I have little to add through this instrument on the subject of suffering. The very word in your language indicates how real the illusion is to you. And indeed, this is as it should be. If the illusion were not “real,” you would not learn from it. It would not be an effective catalyst, and you would not progress sufficiently under its stimulus. That which seems to be suffering is precisely as valuable as a lesson problem is in school. You learn the lesson in order that you may pass the test. There are easy tests, and there are hard tests. If one is able to pass a harder test, one advances more quickly, perhaps to the next grade, instead of to the next semester within the same grade.

The concept for this question was suffering. Hatonn began by saying this word in our language indicates how real the illusion is to us, and this is as it should be, for if the illusion were not “real,” we would not learn from it, and it would not be an effective catalyst, and we would not progress sufficiently under its stimulus, so that which seems to be suffering is as valuable as a lesson problem is in school where we learn the lesson in order that we may pass the test, and there are easy tests, and there are hard tests, so if we are able to pass a harder test, we advance more quickly, perhaps to the next grade, instead of to the next semester within the same grade. On January 10, 1991, Q’uo spoke of the nature of suffering as a means of accelerating our spiritual growth:

Now, as you are aware, the process of spiritual growth involves much change, and this takes place on many different levels. Change is at times most welcome, and it may not be perceived at those times that there is any suffering taking place. However, each choice that is made involves, of necessity, a sacrifice of all other choices at that moment, and suffering may be felt on many levels.

It is possible to follow the paths outlined by the more traditional viewpoints that adamantly hold to the view that suffering is essential for purification, for growth. It is possible to adopt this viewpoint in whole or in part, to use suffering in the life intentionally to accelerate one’s process of spiritual evolution. As you aware, the conscious use of catalyst in this way is the means whereby one’s growth is accelerated.

There are many of those upon your planet at this time who have elected to utilize this particular physical experience in order to obtain the greatest possible lesson, to take the greatest possible test and advance the greatest possible amount. These people have chosen their tests. These people chose to advance rapidly, within a path that is totally made of Love. Within the illusion, it may seem that there is suffering. This suffering is a valuable gift. It is burning away the dross, that the gold may appear. We have spoken earlier tonight, my sister, on the necessity of penetrating the apparent quality of the illusion, in order to perceive reality. Penetrate to the center of this illusion, which you call suffering, and know that in love a perfect being is seeking its path.

Each entity will suffer. Each entity will proceed on its path. For each entity there will be dark nights—and then, the dawn! Do not admire those who seem not to suffer, for it is truly written that the last shall be first, and the first, last. There is one whom you know who is physically, shall we say, abased; this ultimately will cause her exaltation. Do not dwell within the illusion, my sister. The intellect cannot deal with the reality within it. Seek only to know the Creator. Do you not know, my sister, that all is love?

Now Hatonn said there are many of those upon our planet at this time who have elected to utilize this physical experience in order to obtain the greatest possible lesson, to take the greatest possible test and advance the greatest possible amount, and these people have chosen their tests to advance rapidly, within a path that is totally made of Love, and within the illusion, it may seem that there is suffering, and this suffering is a valuable gift that is burning away the dross, that the gold may appear, and Hatonn has spoken earlier tonight on the necessity of penetrating to the center of this illusion, which you call suffering, and know that in Love a perfect being is seeking its path. Then Hatonn said that each entity will suffer as it proceeds on its path, and for each entity there will be dark nights, and then, the dawn, but do not admire those who seem not to suffer, for it is written that the last shall be first, and the first, last, and there is one whom you know who is physically degraded, and this ultimately will cause her exaltation, but do not dwell within the illusion because the intellect cannot deal with the reality within it, so seek only to know the Creator, for all is Love. On June 12, 1994, Q’uo said that all is Love:

Each speck of consciousness contains the Creator. Therefore, the wish to serve followed by the dedication to the mystery which is the one great original Thought, that Creator whose name is Love, know and take comfort in this truth as we understand it: you are effective. As you desire to serve, so do you serve. That soul whom you touch may never know you, may never be on the same continent as you, yet that universal Love which you channel forth in that silent witnessing finds its target, for it is called, and it goes where it is called. You have only to sit and know the truth that all is Love.

That infinite intelligence will take that energy which you breathe forth and will touch the hearts who are in pain. Know this truth and rest in it, just as we hope to serve by our words, yet we know that we cannot serve beyond a certain point person-to-person. To be our most deeply effective we move into meditation, into that silence where the Creator is felt.

Hatonn: We would like to ask you whether you have in fact received this answer from us previous to this channeling?

S: Yes.

Hatonn: My sister, we ask that you be more confident, for you are receiving the knowledge that we have to offer you. It is simply that you are not fond of words, and neither are we. Therefore, we do not find it possible to contact you through words. We accept and are very grateful to deal with channels in speaking with you, and you never need to hesitate to ask for a channeled message. Yet we wish you to know, in those instances when it may not be immediately possible for us to talk to you through a vocal channel, that you are receiving our messages. There are no sure things, my sister. You cannot put your faith in any outside appearance, even our voice through a channel. Depend primarily upon that which you perceive.

We have a desire to speak briefly of your own abilities at this time. You have had considerable self-doubt due to the influence of your physical environment and your emotional influences. By which we mean that the illusion produces difficulties which test one’s ability to feel confidence in one’s protection. Within the illusion, there is good and evil; what you call Christ, and what you call anti-Christ. Yet within the Creator, all is one. When there is seemingly, in your intelligence, a negativity or a possible negativity, we ask that you not attempt to outwardly discern, or intellectually discover, its negativity or positivity. Rather, immediately go within, until you find the Creator. Within the Creator, my sister, all is one, and there is no knowledge of separation of any sort that can possibly harm you. Nor can you harm anyone. No harm can come to you; no harm can go from you. Unity! Unity! All is love. The world around you is an illusion. All is love. Throughout all eternity, your spirit is safe and secure, for these things are without meaning within unity.

The topic in this question was information received through channels. Hatonn began by saying they ask that we be more confident, for we are receiving the knowledge that they have to offer us, and it is that we are not fond of words, and neither are they, so they do not find it possible to contact us through words, for they are grateful to deal with channels in speaking with us, and we never need to hesitate to ask for a channeled message, yet they wish us to know, in those instances when it may not be possible for them to talk to us through a vocal channel, that we are receiving their messages, but we cannot put our faith in any outside appearance, even their voice through a channel, so we can depend upon that which we perceive. Now Hatonn said they have a desire to speak of our abilities at this time, and we have self-doubt due to the influence of our physical environment and our emotional influences by which they mean that the illusion produces difficulties which test our ability to feel confidence in our protection, and within the illusion there is good and evil, what we call Christ, and what we call anti-Christ, yet within the Creator, all is one, so when there is a possible negativity, they ask that we not attempt to intellectually discover its negativity or positivity, but go within until we find the Creator because within the Creator all is one, and there is no knowledge of separation that can harm us, nor can we harm anyone, for all is Love, and the world around us is an illusion, and throughout all eternity, our spirit is safe, for these things are without meaning within unity. On October 3, 1982, Latwii spoke of the good and evil or positive and negative polarities in the third density illusion:

Each choice, no matter what the subject, is an exercise of will, freely made. As the mind is configured by its very nature of being, and as it gathers the experiences of your illusion, it becomes biased either in the service-to-self sense or in the service-to-others sense. With this general coloration, then does the individual entity begin to increase its polarization so that each choice which is made adds in some fashion to that polarization. Each choice, no matter what the subject of the choice, then might be seen as adding or subtracting from the polarization which is the general character, shall we say, of the entity. The various choices available within the illusion are simply means by which an entity adds to the polarization which it has chosen.

I cannot express to you my sympathy and understanding of what you are experiencing. For each soul, my sister, there is a great solitude. One soul is on one path. And no one or no thing can keep that soul company on that path. For each entity is the Creator, is primary, and must teach itself what it already knows. Sometimes, my sister, in this loneliness, we have bad dreams. We are not speaking of literal dreams; we are speaking of times when a shadow seems to be over our lives. We are not free of these upon the plane from which I speak. Yes, we have advanced, yet we do not know all. We are alone in our way, as we speak of unity, yet we have loneliness when we are not able to totally live this understanding. These moments grow fewer and fewer as you continue to seek. It is a matter of being in reality instead of the illusion. When the shadow falls across you, my sister, know it for an illusion. If you must speak aloud to remind yourself, you may say, “All is Love.” And you will feel reality flow within you at that moment.

Now Hatonn said they cannot express to us their sympathy for what we are experiencing, for each soul there is solitude, and one soul is on one path, and no one or nothing can keep that soul company on that path, for each of us is the Creator, and we must teach  our self what we already know, but sometimes in this loneliness Hatonn has had bad dreams, and they are not speaking of literal dreams, but they are speaking of times when a shadow seems to be over their lives, so they are not free of these upon the plane from which they speak, for they have advanced, yet they do not know all, and they are alone in their way, as they speak of unity, yet they have loneliness when they are not able to live this understanding, but these moments grow fewer as we continue to seek, so it is a matter of being in reality instead of the illusion, and when the shadow falls across us know it as an illusion, and if we must speak aloud to remind our self, we may say, “All is Love,” and we will feel reality flow within us at that moment. On July 5, 1981, Hatonn spoke of the value of solitude that each of us may experience:

In the situation of solitude, you must be aware that, though you do not have other entities around you, yet you are surrounded by the Creator; you are surrounded by yourself in forms not so easily recognizable. The experience of solitude has the effect of driving the attention of the entity deeper within the self of the entity, for your experience in solitude is a focus, a focus into your being which has the ability to show you that all about you is your being, that all about you is your experience, that you create your reality in your response to that which you experience.

Solitude must be carefully used, may we say, for it is a more powerful tool for the entity who wishes to progress in the growth and the realization of oneness with the Creator, for though many entities experience the reflecting of the part of themselves needing attention by other-selves in their daily lives, since this occurs so often it is easy to ignore, but when one experiences solitude, the experience of the self as all is much more profound and is harder to ignore.

Therefore, we would suggest for those who seek to progress upon the path of realization the use of solitude as a tool upon this path, but the use of this tool with discretion, for it is one of the more powerful tools which entities upon your plane have at their disposal.

Your brothers and sisters are with you. Have you any more questions?

[Pause]

We send you our love and our light. We will leave this instrument, my sister, for now, but we are always with you. We leave you only in leaving this instrument’s vocal vibrations. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and discovered that the tube that leads to the fountain had come loose from the pump in the fishpond again! So, I went through the same process as I did yesterday morning by removing the duct tape that helped to hold the tube to the motor. Then I put more super glue on the two-inch tube that connects the pump to the large tubing that leads to the fountain. This time I put more super glue on the small tube and pushed it as far as I could into the pump opening. Then I taped the large tubing onto the pump and onto the large tubing leading to the fountain. Once again, fingers are crossed! At 11 am I was once again a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. There were questions on a number of topics such as Sessions 5 & 6 of the Law of One dealing with healing exercises, David’s daughter and what would happen to their relationship if she made the graduation to fourth density and he didn’t, UFO landings on Earth, types of meditation, and humility and pride. I enjoyed our time together, as always, and am looking forward to the next time we study together.

This afternoon I went to the Valhalla Care Home to visit my neighbor who has been there for a few months now after a painful fall in her home. Her son is getting ready to move her to an assisted living apartment close to where he lives in Mount Sterling, KY. I took her another chocolate milkshake and showed her some pictures on my cell phone that she enjoyed. On the way back home, I stopped at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird seed and cat food. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some Begonias and food for myself.

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

Love Yourself

I am of the principle of the Love of Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

Black despair surrounds the soul which is not at harmony with itself. The eye, turned inward, can be dismayed by the various imperfections which the eye seems to see in the self.

Yet this disparaging eye shuts the door to Spirit, which awaits self-acceptance that it may shine forth from the self to the glory of the Creator and for the blessing of those about one.

Condemnation of the self is never productive when it is done to the exclusion of the reaffirmation of the Love of that self which the Creator has made. Love yourself. Only then can you love your neighbor and the Creator of that Love which is you.

We leave you in peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from January 4, 1976:

Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. And again, I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. Is it not so, my friends, that both illusion and reality, to the extent of our understanding, are made up of cycles, so that what you call the cycle of your world is rooted in meaning. The cycle of numbers is echoed in the natural cycle of the creation of the Creator. And the ingredients of this cycle are what you call Love and Light. At what is known as the New Year, the future is just coming to be, and the past is dead. And at this time, as you would call it, you are able even within the illusion to see that this is so. You see, my friends, it does not matter how deep into the illusion you may go, the pathway always follows directly back to the Creator. Even though the days and the dates and what you call holidays are truly a creation of man, yet they lead directly back to the creation of the Creator, to the very essence of life and death that makes up the cycle of this progression.

The infinite we perceive is wrought of these cycles. Treasure, therefore, the lesson of this New Year. And know that, eternally and for each moment, your past shall be dead, your future shall lie aborning before you. There is, eternally, both the night that has passed and the day that is to come; the sunset and the sunrise. And what, my friends, does this mean to you? How can this understanding lead to a richer experience for you within this illusion? My friends, the secret within the illusion is reality. The entire challenge of your life, as you know it, is to comprehend the reality which the illusion is wrapped around. As you act out your part within the illusion, you are acting out a path which leads directly to the truth. And if you understand your pathways you have arrived at an instantaneous understanding. This is not separate from your life, but at the very core. We ask that you meditate so that you may remain in contact with the reality that lies at the center of this illusion which you call physical life.

The concept being discussed in this session regards the cycles of evolution. Hatonn began by saying that both illusion and reality, to the extent of their understanding, are made up of cycles, so that what we call the cycle of our world is rooted in meaning, and the cycle of numbers is echoed in the natural cycle of the creation of the Creator, and the ingredients of this cycle are what we call Love and Light, so at what is known as the New Year, the future is just coming to be, and the past is dead, and at this time we are able to see that this is so, and they said it does not matter how deep into the illusion we may go, the pathway always follows directly back to the Creator, so even though the dates of what we call holidays are a creation of humans, yet they lead directly back to the creation of the Creator, to the very essence of life and death that makes up the cycle of this progression. Hatonn went on to say the infinite creation that they perceive is made of these cycles, so we must treasure the lesson of this New Year, and know that, eternally and for each moment, our past shall be dead, and our future shall lie being born before us, and there is, eternally, both the night that has passed and the day that is to come, the sunset and the sunrise, so the secret within the illusion is reality, and the entire challenge of our life is to comprehend the reality which the illusion is wrapped around since we act out our part within the illusion, we are acting out a path which leads directly to the truth, and if we understand our pathways we have arrived at an instantaneous understanding, but this is not separate from our life, but at the very core, so they asked that we meditate so that we may remain in contact with the reality that lies at the center of this illusion which we call physical life. On January 2, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the cycles of the creation:

While it is so that the numbers 25,000 and the turning of sun about solar system—we correct this instrument—Earth around solar system are similar, there is not the importance placed upon the connection between these two similar numbers. The timing, shall we say, of cycles of spiritual living or advancement are as they are because of quite sensitive factors involving the energies of the group of entities moving through third density. In other words, since your Earth sphere has certain populations of entities from various planetary influences the timing of these cycles of spiritual evolution is set in such and such a mold. As the group populations’ biases collectively are altered through what you know as time the timing of the cycles also evolves.

The setting of these cycles is ever liquid and is regulated quite, quite precisely according to every single entity and thought of each entity. This energetic whole has a nascent life which expresses its times of blooming and learning in such and such a way while stars wheel above in the heavens according to your physical sight, the constellations of thought and intention infinitesimally added until a towering largeness and fullness of information has been assimilated. This living entity expresses as a field and this entity’s expressions create the exact timing of the cycles of learning.

Yet it is so easy not to pay attention. It does not seem that the cycle will end, and that death as you know it will succeed life as you know it. It does not seem that you will be called to account, not for the illusion but for that mysterious center of reality that you have been nurturing all your physical life. Yet, my friends, this is so. There will come a day when the old year of your physical life will expire, and the New Year of your life within Spirit will succeed it. And upon that day, the past shall be dead, and the future will be aborning.

It does not happen, in all cases, when it is expected. At each moment, allow your energy to penetrate to the center of your world, so that you live not only the drama of illusion but the reality at the center. And what is this reality, my friends? Love. Love within all, and all within love. “The least of these, my brethren, is the same as I,” said the master known to you as Jesus. Reality for you, my friends, lies within each meeting. Even the least of those have been born in Love, and if you can realize this Love within them, you have given them the reality within their center. Such service as this is what links you to your center; is what keeps you within reality. The consciousness of Love will continue forever. Your consciousness of Love will be your spiritual personality for eternity. Within this consciousness, the cycles of life and death are merely periods which seem as meaningless as the ticking noise of a clock seems in a year.

Hatonn went on to say it is easy not to pay attention, and it does not seem that the cycle will end, and that death as we know it will succeed life as we know it, so it does not seem that we will be called to account, not for the illusion but for that mysterious center of reality that we have been nurturing all of our life, yet this is so, for there will come a day when the old year of our physical life will expire, and the New Year of our life within Spirit will succeed it, and upon that day, the past shall be dead, and the future will be aborning. Hatonn continued by saying this does not always happen when it is expected, so in each moment, allow our energy to penetrate to the center of our world, so that we live not only the drama of illusion but the reality at the center, and this reality is Love within all, and all within love, and “The least of these, my brethren, is the same as I,” said the master Jesus, so reality for us lies within each meeting where even the least of those have been born in Love, and if we can realize this Love within them, we have given them the reality within their center, so such service as this is what links us to our center and keeps us within reality, for the consciousness of Love will continue forever, so our consciousness of Love will be our spiritual personality for eternity, and within this consciousness, the cycles of life and death are periods which seem as meaningless as the ticking noise of a clock seems in a year. On October 22, 1986, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the consciousness of Love:

We suggest to you, my friends, that there is one consciousness, which in its original and undistorted form may be called Love. The consciousness of Love is the great original Thought, crystal clear and pure, and by its profound, generative nature, the Creator of all that there is.

Thus, the consciousness that is your identity and nature is some distortion, one representation of that one great original Thought of Love which created all that there is. When the conscious mind of man is used without the aid of the deeper mind, very little of the consciousness of Love can be channeled through you from consciousness to manifestation. The person who lives in mind and not in heart lives a dry and arid life, unrelieved by the beauty of Love or the joy of passion, for, indeed, it is those with a passion and joy for knowing the truth, for celebrating friendship, and for seeking Love, that creates the full potential of consciousness for each of you.

Within the consciousness of the physical illusion, life and death are weighty and serious matters, and shocking even to discuss. Within the consciousness of Love, all is one and there is nothing to fear. And no one to resist. All that you see is Love. We say this to some of you especially who are anointed with the ability, yet who have not used this ability on all occasions. We say this because, as your ears are opened, and your hearts unstopped, my friends, it is well that you are all [inaudible]. It is a simple matter to love those you may dislike. It only needs meditation. Know, my friends, that within the center of your being, love abides.

Then Hatonn said within the consciousness of the physical illusion life and death are weighty and serious matters, and shocking even to discuss, but within the consciousness of Love, all is one, and there is nothing to fear, and no one to resist, so all that we see is Love, and Hatonn said this to some of us who are anointed with the ability, yet who have not used this ability on all occasions, so they said this because, as our ears are opened, and our hearts unstopped it is well that we are all [inaudible]. It is a simple matter to love those we may dislike since it only needs meditation, and know that within the center of our being, Love abides. On September 6, 1987, Q’uo said that love abides within us:

The practice of timelessness begins, after many repetitions of visits to this point of view, to unfold for the seeker an unlimited point of view, a point of view that sees the mundane limitations and necessities of the everyday life, yet dwells as a native son or daughter in that kingdom where Love abides without the mask of illusion.

Time is a difficult subject upon which to speak, yet those within the circle seek knowledge of how better to use their time, of how better to dwell with ultimate reality, even within the illusions of third-density life. Therefore, we tackle the subject. Perhaps the crux of pondering upon time lies in one’s conclusion about the absolute. It is a principle by which we live that there is an absolute and unchangeable reality which undergirds and holds together all creations, all of the infinity of illusions and all consciousness. It is our opinion that we came or were created from the very stuff of reality—absolute, infinite, unchanging, unpotentiated, passive, and final reality. This reality has seemed to us to bear a certain character: that character is Love.

I would like to remove myself from this instrument for a time so that a brother may speak. I will return. I am Hatonn.

I am Laitos. I greet you in the love and light of our infinite Creator. It is my very great privilege to be with you, and I cannot express my enjoyment of this moment. I would like to attempt to exercise some instruments who have not been used to being within a larger group. Therefore, I will attempt to say only very little through each of them. However, we are very delighted that we can begin to exercise these instruments, as instruments who wish to deliver our messages are most gratefully received. I will attempt to transfer to the one known as W. If he will relax, I will say a few words through him. I am Laitos.

(W channeling)

I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. We are delighted to have been in contact with the one known as W. We wish to assure him that the experience of channeling will become easier and easier as he becomes used to this service. I will attempt now to contact the one known as N. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. We ask the one known as N to refrain from analysis. It is not necessary that this be done as our communications will occur only if they are repeated without an attempt to analyze them. I will again attempt to contact the one known as N. I am Laitos.

(N channeling)

I am Laitos. I…

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. I am again with this instrument. My brothers and sisters, it is my privilege always to work with those who wish to become instruments, and we thank those older and newer instruments for their desire to serve. We can only say to you that this service will be desired by those whom you will meet in the future. And it is the will of the Creator that you are doing. We are not absolute founts of the truth, for we are as you, brothers and sisters. Yet our desires are truly of the Creator. And that which we give you is of that vibration. I am with you all, and at any time that you wish, the vibration of conditioning will be available. I say to you, my friends, meditate. I leave you in the love and the light of the One Who is All. I am Laitos.

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. I would like to answer questions, and I would answer the one which is within the mind of this instrument first. The one known as S requests some information from us. It is in Love and Light that we send our thoughts to her. My sister, it is well known to you that planetary forces are such that it is not proper that we attempt to mold your experience within this sphere. Nevertheless, we may send to you various thoughts regarding your thought-patterns at this time. My sister, there is within you that which is to come alive. Within your mind is that which is dead. We are referring to the intellect. The intellect can be a useful tool in dealing with this illusion. Yet it is a destructive and damaging tool when used to work with emotions or spirit. That which is to come alive within you is of the spirit. There is no deadness within your spirit. There is no limit to your sense soul. There is no shape or form which you can contain your abilities within. We ask that you unfetter your spirit, and let it soar, unhindered. It cannot go too far. For the distance is [inaudible] for the creation is one, and one thing only, and where can your spirit go except the creation? Trust your deeper soul. Trust your spirit. And do not attempt to contain it within intellectual rigidity.

We have been most happy to have accompanied you in each of your journeys, the physical ones, the mental ones, and most of all, my sister, those of the spirit. This we do for you and for all who are our brothers and sisters in desire and seeking. It is a privilege to be with you. You must know that we have attempted again and again to speak these words to you. We know that you will recognize as something already heard that which we say. Trust also your ability to understand our messages unspoken. We ask that, if you have further questions, to ask directly and only after this asking, to work through a channel. Our goal, my sister, as with all our contacts, is to be independently able to aid you.

S asked Hatonn to send some thoughts to her about her experiences. Hatonn began by saying S requests some information from us, and it is in Love and Light that we send our thoughts to her, and it is well known to you that planetary forces are such that it is not proper that we attempt to mold your experience within this sphere, but we may send you thoughts regarding your thought-patterns at this time, so there is within you that which is to come alive, and within your mind is that which is dead, and we are referring to the intellect that can be a useful tool in dealing with this illusion, yet it is a destructive tool when used to work with emotions or spirit, for that which is to come alive within you is of the spirit, and there is no deadness within your spirit or limit to your sense soul since there is no shape which can contain your abilities, so we ask that you unfetter your spirit, and let it soar, unhindered, but it cannot go too far, for the distance is [inaudible] for the creation is one, and one thing only, and where can your spirit go except the creation? So, trust your deeper soul, and your spirit, and do not attempt to contain it within intellectual rigidity. Hatonn went on to say we have been happy to have accompanied you in each of your journeys, the physical ones, the mental ones, and most of all, my sister, those of the spirit, so this we do for you and for all who are our brothers and sisters in desire and seeking, and it is a privilege to be with you, and you must know that we have attempted again and again to speak these words to you, and we know that which we say you will recognize as something you have already heard, so trust also your ability to understand our messages unspoken, and we ask that, if you have further questions, to ask directly and only after this asking, to work through a channel because our goal, my sister, as with all our contacts, is to be independently able to aid you. On March 16, 1988, Hatonn spoke of the feminine nature of the brothers and sisters of Hatonn:

I am Hatonn, and we are those which at this time in this particular contact are of a feminine nature. We are an individualized portion of a larger group, and yet we speak of ourselves as we, for though you speak with an individualized portion of a social memory complex we do not feel that we exist apart from those of our brothers and sisters in a manner which bears a descriptive term.

Are there other questions?

Questioner: I want to channel and yet I didn’t get a contact tonight. Why can’t I be contacted like N and W?

Hatonn: I say that there is only one requirement for that service of channeling as you call it, and that is desire. My brother, there is a requirement which must be fulfilled before the desire may be mirrored in manifestation. This requirement is a disciplined mind. Some are of nature given a clear mind. Others engage within their intellects in what you call analytical thought to an extent that causes them to find it difficult to clear their minds. It is not necessary to perfectly clear your mind, or shall we say, to perfectly meditate, in order to receive our messages. However, it is much easier for our conditioning to affect the consciousness of one who has been able to, to a reasonable degree, clear his mind. The difficulty with your attempts to channel at this point, my brother, is that within your daily existence, your habits of mind are such that you tend to attack each problem with analytical or intellectual examination. This approach does not yield immediately to the techniques of meditation. However, desire will produce that which you desire. Seek and ye shall find. Continue with your meditations and that which you seek will come.

Have you further questions?

Questioner: I hear a sound wave. Could you tell me what it is?

Hatonn: Sound wave? Are you referring to that which you hear during meditation?

Questioner: Yes.

Hatonn: There are various reasons for various people hearing certain tones. In your case, my brother, you are receiving from the interior of your physical being a vibration which is an indication of interface between physical and higher worlds. If you will examine your physical being at the time that you are aware of this sounds by closing your ears with your hands, you will find that the sound is within you. This is only one of the sounds which can occur. Others may hear others. Are there other questions?

Questioner: Are you aware of the UFO abduction in Snowflake, Arizona? Was that you?

Hatonn: We are very aware of it. We have a campaign, my friends. It is a campaign to alert and awaken those within the physical at this time who wish to seek the truth, and need something to start them following in the direction of the truth. For many years we have been within your skies, and various of our people have appeared in various ways as a kind of advertising, as you would say. The time has come when this campaign may be increased. There are within your peoples more and more desire, more indication of other realities than the physical. We are [inaudible]. We would like to land and walk among your peoples, and if one day a majority of the peoples desire our presence, we will indeed do this. At this time, we are simply able to make a more, shall we say, intriguing contact than previously. We are not saying, my friends, that all of the sightings are of the Confederation. This is not so. Neither was the vessel which was sighted a totally Confederation vessel. However, it was working in cooperation with us for a specific purpose. We wish you well. And it is a great gladness to us that we are more and more able to appear not as, shall we say, gods but as fellow travelers.

Is there a further question?

M: The sighting that I had when I was a little boy—was that your ship, your representative I saw?

Hatonn: Yes.

M: Was there a reason that I couldn’t see the man, and then I saw him later by myself?

Hatonn: I am having difficulty with this instrument. One moment.

[Pause]

We wanted that you be isolated when you became fully aware intellectually of our presence. We wished that the experience be of a singular nature, for it was intended that there would be an effect upon you that would cause you to remember and act upon this sighting. There was within this meeting Light which was not given to the others. Many events have occurred in a following manner from this incident which was, shall we say, intended to occur. And within you is a knowledge which we were privileged to exchange with you and not others. Each person has a vibration, from eternity to eternity. At any given moment, each person vibrates in an individual manner. Therefore, as we vibrate in our individual manners, from dimension to dimension, there are some who, with their higher vibrations, may see us. We are able to appear to some, or to others, by adjusting our rate of vibration. This is, as we say, done usually for a purpose. That purpose being to alert individuals who are ready to receive this stimulus.

Does that satisfy you?

M: Yes.

Hatonn: Are there any more questions?

[Pause]

Within the darkness of the universe lies a tiny spark. And if you look at it steadily, it grows, and grows, and becomes a flaming sphere, and finally it totally engulfs you. And so, in meditation, know the infinity behind your closed eyes. Find that spark of pure love, and then let it expand until it has totality.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I set the sprinkler in the gardens around the front, side, and back of my home and let it run for half an hour in each garden. Then I took the pump in the fishpond off of the tube that connects it to the fountain and discovered that the reason for the fountain running so low was that the tube had mostly come off of the pump. Then I dried the tube off, reconnected it to the pump with super glue, and then I retaped the tube to the pump with extra tape all along the tube and around the pump. After I plugged in the pump the fountain was running at the normal level, and I breathed a sigh of relief!

This afternoon I went outside and used the hose and watering wand to water the Dianthus along the parking area. Then I used a bucket of water to water the Dahlias in the Sun Mandala behind the garage.

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

July 4

Where Is Freedom?

I am the presence of Jesus the Christ in the world today. I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

This is the day of American freedom, the day of flags and celebrations. As you look around you, behind the smiles of celebration lie great discords and this you see: discord between man and self, between man and man, between mates, between parents and children, and between nation and nation.

You may then think to yourself that freedom is not full. Yet we say to you that you are free, that your freedom is in Christ and that you have the freedom to extend hands of divine Love, peace and unity, eyes that smile with consolation and pardon.

You have the Spirit that makes the broken whole. You need only ask, for the spirit of Christ is with you all, and its peace embraces all, both now and evermore.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from December 28, 1975:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am privileged to speak with this gathering, and I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am with you, and I bring you my peace.

It is written in the words of your most recent master, the one known as Jesus: “Not as the world gives, give I unto you.” And as I offer you my peace, may I say, this is so. It is not peace as the world would give, of which I speak, but a truer peace. I am a member of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. I come across galaxies, countless, through a dimensionless gateway, and into your so-called reality, into your special place, into your universe, where you exist. My brothers and sisters and I come because you have called us. Because within this universe, the cry goes out from those who are in need, who wish to know reality.

And there are always those who listen. Cries do not go forth unheard, in this infinite universe. And we have heard you, and have come. Others have heard you, and have come. Those of your planet who are able to give, are ready to give unto you, at the finer levels of your planetary sphere. And we from other spheres are here also. For we can tell you one way, a complementary way, another way: all paths are one. There are those who can listen to us who cannot listen to others who would tell you what we will tell you. And so, we come, and others come, when those upon your planet call for help. For we are all brothers and sisters; all beings upon each level in the infinite Creation are all brothers and sisters.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about love, so they said it is written in the words of your most recent master, the one known as Jesus: “Not as the world gives, give I unto you,” and as I offer you my peace this is so, but it is not peace as the world would give but a truer peace, for I am a member of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator, and I come across galaxies, through a dimensionless gateway, and into your reality where you exist, so I come because you have called us because within this universe, the cry goes out from those who are in need, who wish to know reality. Then Hatonn said there are always those who listen since cries do not go forth unheard in this infinite universe, and we have heard you, and have come, and others have heard you, and have come because those of your planet who are able to give, are ready to give unto you, at the finer levels of your planetary sphere, and we from other spheres are here also, for we can tell you that all paths are one, and there are those who can listen to us who cannot listen to others who would tell you what we will tell you, so we come, and others come, when those upon your planet call for help, for we are all brothers and sisters; all beings upon each level in the infinite Creation are all brothers and sisters. On October 1, 2016, Q’uo said that we are all brothers and sisters:

We have perhaps traveled a bit further upon the same path that you find yourselves upon, and we are happy to offer what we have learned to you from this journey that we have made, but we are not ultimate authorities, we are your brothers and sisters, as indeed the entire Creation is of one being and each of us finds our source within that one being, the One Infinite Creator. We are all brothers and sisters on this journey of seeking reunion with the One.

There are several different topics upon which I will to speak this evening. But, my friends, I believe I desire first of all to speak to you of love. It is known to us that each of you desires to seek wisdom, to seek spirituality. Yet we would say to you at this time, please allow this search for knowledge to begin and end within your own experience. You are not seeking a substitute, a different reality in place of the present reality. You are seeking to know your own reality for the first time. You are even now, at this moment, dwelling in reality. It is truly written: Heaven is all about you. You are not seeking a far-away, long-distant kingdom. For the kingdom of Heaven is with you, within you, and about you. Your experience contains the kingdom that you seek.

Let us again observe the teachings of the one known as Jesus. If you do these things to the least of these, my brethren, you do them unto me. The kingdom is all about you, and the Creator is within the face that is across from you, on the street, and in your house. Each stranger, each friend, and each enemy is the Creator. Know ye not that all are brothers and sisters? You seek love, you seek to know the Creator, and yet the Creator is in each face that you see. Look at each other, and, for the first time, truly see the very best within each other. Within the one known as Jesus was a sight which was of Love. Those who were about Him could be described in rather unfavorable terms. Those whom He loved could be described as harlots, tax-collectors, publicans, beggars. There were many sick and crippled.

Then Hatonn said there are several different topics upon which I will to speak this evening, but I desire first of all to speak to you of love, and it is known to us that each of you desires to seek spirituality, yet we would say please allow this search for knowledge to begin and end within your own experience, for you are not seeking a different reality in place of the present reality, but you are seeking to know your own reality for the first time, for you are now dwelling in reality, and it is written: Heaven is all about you, so you are not seeking a far-away kingdom, for the kingdom of Heaven is within you, and about you, so your experience contains the kingdom that you seek. Hatonn continued by saying let us again observe the teachings of Jesus who said if you do these things to the least of these, my brethren, you do them unto me, and the kingdom is all about you, for the Creator is within the face that is across from you, on the street, and in your house, so each stranger, each friend, and each enemy is the Creator, and all are brothers and sisters who seek love, so you seek to know the Creator, and yet the Creator is in each face that you see, so look at each other, and see the very best within each other, for within Jesus was a sight which was of Love, and those who were about Him could be described in unfavorable terms as harlots, tax-collectors, publicans, beggars, and there were many sick and crippled. On May 23, 1999, Q’uo described how each of us is the Creator:

Truly, the mystery of deity is wrapped up in this question of how to be one’s true self. For as the one known as Jim read from the Law of One material earlier this day, each is the Creator. And the challenge before all living in illusion is how to become more aware of that personhood as infinite Creator.

The workings of what this instrument would call God and men are as complex and as assorted and varied as the grains of sand upon the shore. It is difficult to comprehend the myriad numbers of sparks of the Creator that are, just as you or we, attempting to be their true selves. It is hard to fathom that, even upon your planet, one small entity amidst a million or a billion other planetary entities, there is such a long history of people such as you attempting to survive, to relate to each other, to accomplish physical and societal, mental, and emotional goals.

And in no case did the one known as Jesus see them as anything but the Creator, the Creator who was directly before Him on the physical plane. He looked with Love. He saw the possibilities within each of his “fallen” friends. To the sinner, He said, “This day, you will be with me in paradise.” My friends, these things are familiar to you, and so I use this channel, and this mode of discussion, as a good example. There are other masters, and they have showed this Creator-within in other words. But we believe that it is through this example that you will most easily understand what we are saying to you. We look at you, and we see the light, we see the perfection, and it is our delight to be in communication with you.

It is very possible for you to become one with this vibration. And, my friends, this vibration of Love, this vibration of compassion will transform your life into that of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a matter of balancing between two opposite attitudes in your seeking. There are two dangers, and we say this with a sense of humor, for the dangers are not real. It is the balancing between them that causes your progress. These two dangers, my friends, are pride and humility. Woe be unto the man who begins to feel that it is his love that is setting those about him on the path of light, that it is his compassion that is such a light to others. Woe be unto this man, for the love of the personality is limited. It will run out, and in its wake will come much sadness. Woe also to the person who says, “I am unworthy. In my humility I must admit I cannot be a fit channel for the Love of the Creator. Do not expect me to keep trying the impossible, for I am not worthy, and I cannot do this.”

Hatonn went on to say in no case did Jesus see them as anything but the Creator who was directly before Him on the physical plane, so He looked with Love, and He saw the possibilities within each of his “fallen” friends, and to the sinner He said, “This day, you will be with me in paradise.” Now Hatonn said these things are familiar to you, so I use this channel, and this mode of discussion, as a good example, and there are other masters, and they have showed this Creator-within in other words, but we believe that it is through this example that you will understand what we are saying to you, for when we look at you, and we see the Light, we see the perfection, and it is our delight to be in communication with you. Hatonn went on to say it is possible for you to become one with this vibration of Love which will transform your life into that of the Kingdom of Heaven, so it is a matter of balancing between two opposite attitudes in your seeking, but there are two dangers–and we say this with a sense of humor–for the dangers are not real, and it is the balancing between them that causes your progress, so these two dangers are pride and humility, so woe be unto the person who begins to feel that it is their love that is setting those about them on the path of Light, and woe be unto this person, for the love of the personality is limited since it will run out, and in its wake will come much sadness, and woe also to the person who says: “I am unworthy. In my humility I must admit I cannot be a fit channel for the Love of the Creator. Do not expect me to keep trying the impossible, for I am not worthy, and I cannot do this.” On September 17, 2003, Q’uo explained how we may travel the path of light:

Yet always, when the digging is done, and the self is at last satisfied with that work which the mind and the feelings can do, there is the infinitely shorter route to realization of the true nature of the self that is involved in moving into the open heart and sitting within that tabernacle in which the Creator is always waiting, to share silence with that Creator, to share being with that Creator that is the deepest part of you and is, therefore, never away from you.

Consciousness is that which you partake in, in the semblance and illusion of individuality. As you hook into that consciousness from the eccentric surface of your personality shell, you become more and more able to trust that path of Light that leads from that crooked and sometimes tormented surface to the still, clear, lovely waters of the deep self. It is not that the one known as T has no capacity or opportunity for dramatic service in the sense of teaching or offering other outer gifts to be shared by those in need upon the Earth plane. Each entity within this circle came into incarnation with some plans in that regard, with some hopes of sharing deeply felt gifts with those who might appreciate them.

In neither case, my friends, have you quite hit the balance. And if you find yourself in either pride or humility, balance between confidence and the knowledge of your own imperfections as a personality Because you see, both of these things are true, and neither of them matter. You are a channel through which the Creator may express Itself. The Creator is Love, and Its expression is Love. When you see someone, to your outer eye, he may be nothing but, shall we say, a very common-looking or even unpleasant piece of stone. A large rock, awkward and peculiarly colored. Yet to the eye within, the eye of love, this rock will be the shape which the master may carve from the rock so that it becomes a beautiful statue, a statue with beautiful lines and coloration, with all the potential of that piece of rock set free in beauty of line. People are both their raw materials and the possibility of perfection. It is the Creator Who causes these possibilities to become manifest in the physical world.

You cannot do it. Of course not. You can only say to the Creator, “Please, live this moment for me. Allow my eyes to shine with your light.” It is to the outer eye a very dark world. Darkness is all about you. My friends, within the darkness, there is light. If you wish to allow it to shine forth, it can never be denied. The light may not light up all of the darkness, but where you are, it will be light, if you allow it to be so. Picture your eyes as windows, and make sure the shades are up, so that the light may shine through. The shades are made of prejudice, judgment, petty feelings, and negativity of all kinds. Your personality has been given to you so that you may work these things out. Again and again, you will find yourself pulling the shades down. Always it is the precise moment of now that is important. If you have been in error, simply choose at this moment to release that error, and let the shades up, and let the light shine through. What has happened in the past is completely done with.

Hatonn continued by saying in neither case have you hit the balance, so if you find yourself in either pride or humility, find a balance between confidence and the knowledge of your own imperfections as a personality because both of these things are true, and neither of them matter since you are a channel through which the Creator may express Itself, for the Creator is Love, and Its expression is Love, so when you see someone they may be a common-looking or even unpleasant piece of stone, yet to the eye of Love, within this rock, will be the shape which the master may carve from the rock so that it becomes a statue with beautiful lines and coloration, with all the potential of that piece of rock set free in beauty of line, so people are both their raw materials and the possibility of perfection, and it is the Creator Who causes these possibilities to become manifest in the physical world. Then Hatonn said you cannot do it, for you can only say to the Creator: “Please, live this moment for me. Allow my eyes to shine with your light.” Hatonn said it is to the outer eye a very dark world, and within the darkness there is Light, so if you wish to allow it to shine forth, it can never be denied, but the Light may not light up all of the darkness, but where you are it will be Light if you allow it to be, so picture your eyes as windows, and make sure the shades are up so that the light may shine through, for the shades are made of judgment and negativity of all kinds, so your personality has been given to you so that you may work these things out, and again and again, you will find yourself pulling the shades down, and always it is the moment of now that is important, so if you have been in error, choose at this moment to release that error, and let the shades up, and let the light shine through because what has happened in the past is completely done with. On May 20, 2007, Q’uo said that in the moment of now that we are the Creator:

In religion, it is by faith that the keys are turned in the locks of wisdom, and the doors swing open to offer realizations and insight. All of these words only rap at the door of the deeper truth, which is that the objective referent of the one infinite Creator is yourself.

What do you know about yourself? You know your desires and the strength of your desires. You know that one thing has led to another in your life in a path that has seemed anything but straight, and yet as you gaze back over your life experience, you see how everything fell as it did in order to bring you to this present, immaculate moment of now.

What would you say if we asked you who you are? What is the “I” of you? This is the third key. One ancient name of the Creator is the Hebrew, “I Am.” It is variously interpreted as “I am that I am,” or “I am becoming what I am,” or simply, “I Am, I Am,” and so each of you is an “I Am.”

My brothers and sisters, I leave you in love and in everlasting light. I am the one known as Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Day Lily Garden beside the garage. Then I transplanted six Striped Leaf Liriope into the Striped Leaf Garden next to the cross in the back yard. Then I transplanted six      on the top of the Wuthering Heights Mound in the back yard. Then I drove to The Home Depot and bought eight Dahlias.

This afternoon I transplanted the Dahlias into the Sun Mandala behind the garage. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves out of the Moss Garden so that I could use my trimmer to trim the weeds out of the Moss Garden. Then I used the backpack blower to blow the weed trimmings out of the Moss Garden.

The Strength Of Waiting

I am of the principle of the Love of Jesus Christ, that perfect Love which is the Love of creation. Still, I come forth from the Christ principle to be the agent of the consciousness of Love.

Those who seek hastily and fervently for us may not find us, for we come to those who rest in the strength of waiting and expectancy of hope and quietness toward our presence.

Though we are a fair portion of each situation and each excursion into illusion, to be efficacious in joining our spirit to human will, you must wait for Spirit and ask Spirit to enter. Thus, it is in quietness that the Spirit comes and speaks to one who wills to hear that soft voice which may create and transform the outer circumstances.

For the inner experience of grace allows one to see for the first time the outer circumstance with the lines of spirit drawn in the pencil of Love, so that the way of inner Spirit to outer manifestation of created Love becomes clear.

We leave you in the anticipation of each discovery of the Spirit. We leave you in the peace of the consciousness of Love, 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from December 7, 1975:

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn. As many times as we have gone over these concepts, we find that it is not clear within any of your minds just what the relationship is between you and the Creator. Somehow, it seems to your conscious mind that to say that you are the Creator, the Creator cannot get along without you, you are Gods, etc., is somewhat laughable and even, shall we say, egocentric. And, my friends, if we were saying these things to you at the level at which these words unfortunately speak, indeed it would be terribly incorrect information. We ask that you attempt to relax your mind. Remove yourself from the tightness of your everyday thinking. And begin to see that you are very close to yourself, and very far from the nearest star, so that you seem to be much larger than the star. It is a matter of perspective. In reality, the star is a majestic, magnificent, enormous entity, compared to you. And if you are one with the star, then the star is one with you, and neither complete without the other. It is no more than the understanding which is recorded in your holy works, where it is written that sparrows, which are two for a penny, never fall without the Creator knowing that they have fallen. All things, large and small, lie within the Creator, for they lie within the creation.

We do not know what the Creator is. We do not know Its nature. We do not know Its actions, Its purposes, His intentions. The Creator is infinite, invisible. This we know, for this the Creator has shown to us again and again: that it created us in a vibration of pure Love, and that It considers all of us as itself. And so, we tell you this, not knowing the ultimate reason, only knowing that there is reason enough for our infinite existence as entities within a loving creation exist and may be told to all. We come to give you a message of Love. We come to tell you that you are gods, not because you are so wonderful, but because the Creator is wonderful. And the Creator is within you. Stand away from your personality, and see if you can find that faraway sun within you, that star shining in the darkness and depths of your soul. There shines the Creator: in some cases, terribly distant, yet always there, and always shining. All you need do, my friends, is look up. Within yourself, begin to seek for that star. The Creator is within you, and the Creator will work through you.

The concept in this session was: “What the relationship is between the Creator and us.” Hatonn began by saying as many times as they have gone over these concepts, they find that it is not clear within any of our minds just what the relationship is between us and the Creator, and it seems to our conscious mind that to say that we are the Creator and that we are Gods is laughable, and if they were saying these things to us at the level at which these words speak, it would be incorrect information, so they ask that we attempt to relax our mind, and remove our self from the tightness of our everyday thinking, and begin to see that we are close to our self, and far from the nearest star, so that we seem to be much larger than the star, but it is a matter of perspective because the star is a magnificent entity compared to us, and if we are one with the star, then the star is one with us , and neither complete without the other, for it is no more than the understanding which is recorded in our holy works, where it is written that sparrows, which are two for a penny, never fall without the Creator knowing that they have fallen, and all things, large and small, lie within the Creator, for they lie within the creation. Now Hatonn said they do not know what the Creator is, but that the Creator is infinite and invisible, and they know this for the Creator has shown this to them again and again: that It created us in a vibration of pure Love, and that It considers all of us as Itself, and so they tell us this, not knowing the ultimate reason, only knowing that there is reason enough for their infinite existence as entities within a loving creation to exist, and they come to give us a message of Love and to tell us that we are gods, not because we are so wonderful, but because the Creator is wonderful, and the Creator is within us, so we must stand away from our personality, and see if we can find that faraway star within us shining in the depths of our soul, for there shines the Creator, distant, yet always there, and always shining, so all we need do is look up, and begin to seek for that star because the Creator is within us, and the Creator will work through us. On January 2, 2016, Q’uo said that the Creator is within us:

Your path within the third density illusion is the most difficult path that you shall ever travel, for only the third density illusion has the veil of forgetting. Only in this illusion is it not completely apparent at all times that you are part of the One Infinite Creator. Because this veil is so thick and so prevalent, it offers you the opportunity to make great progress if you are able, consciously, to penetrate any portion of this veil. It takes effort; it takes inspiration and motivation; it takes persistence.

And if you can exercise these qualities, my friends, you shall find that they shall come back unto you tenfold, a hundredfold, so that if you cast your bread upon the waters again, as your Bible says, that they shall return to you, and enrich you, and enliven you, and inspire you; and you shall, therefore, move forward upon your spiritual path, the journey which you have set for yourselves, a journey which seems to be without end, the journey which has so many twists and turns, valleys, and mountains, arid deserts, drenching rain … all the seasons at one time or another will challenge you to give your best effort. And yet, if you persist, at some point within your illusion you shall find that you are rewarded with great feelings of inspiration, of illumination, of enlightenment; of times when you see clearly that you are part of an infinite creation and Creator that made all things and cares about you as much as it cares about anything, and that this Creator is within you, awaiting only your seeking, your knocking at the door, your seeking in order to find, you’re asking in order for your questions to be answered.

And so, you may say, my friends, the Creator is you. For all practical purposes, my friends, you may cause your life to become a channel through which the Creator may live and move. In many cases, it may seem as though this human personality of yours may never get, shall we say the hang of showing the Creator’s Love to others. It may seem that the possibilities of the situations which you are in are very, very limited for showing Love. But I say to you: that it is truly written that the place whereon you are standing is holy ground. You do not need to put yourself into a situation which may seem outwardly spiritual in order to be in a spiritual situation. For, my friends, the universe is a spiritual universe, and what you are going through is an illusion called the physical existence.

Spirituality, as it is called, may often seem to be a joke. One cannot be spiritual in a church and walk away from the church and become nonspiritual. This, may I say, my friends, makes no sense at all. For one is Spirit and one carries the Spirit within the temple of his body, into and out of church. Into and out of every situation. When the situation seems difficult, wait for a moment for the realization to come to you that in you is a Spirit, and within that Spirit is enough Love to carry you through that situation so that you may show the Love of the Creator. Continue with your meditations. And never give up hope. For, my friends, you are part of the Creator. This you will realize more each day. And it is true, my friends. In the creation there can be no sorrow.

Hatton went on to say we are the Creator, and for all practical purposes we may cause our life to become a channel through which the Creator may live and move, and in many cases, it may seem as though our human personality may never have the ability to show the Creator’s Love to others, so it may seem that the possibilities of the situations that we are in are very limited for showing Love, but Hatonn said that it is truly written that the place whereon we are standing is holy ground, and we do not need to put our self into a situation which may seem outwardly spiritual in order to be in a spiritual situation, for the universe is a spiritual universe, and what we are going through is an illusion called the physical existence. Q’uo continued by saying spirituality may often seem to be a joke since we cannot be spiritual in a church and walk away from the church and become nonspiritual because this makes no sense at all, for we are Spirit, and we carry the Spirit within the temple of our body into and out of church and every situation, so when the situation seems difficult, wait for a moment for the realization to come to us that in us is a Spirit, and within that Spirit is enough Love to carry us through that situation so that we may show the Love of the Creator, so we can continue with our meditations, and never give up hope, for we are part of the Creator, and this we will realize more each day, so it is true that in the creation there can be no sorrow. On December 29, 2007, Q’uo described the nature of the temple of our body:

You are that entity that can both act in space/time and be fully aware of time/space. You bring those two illusions together, the heavy illusion and the lighter illusion. And yes, we call both the metaphysical and the physical world illusions. As far as we know, all that is seen, touch, felt, tasted and so forth is an illusion. But as well, all that is thought in the worlds that are unseen is also a kind of illusion, each illusion being carefully crafted to give the inhabitants of that illusion those elements which they need in order to experience, learn, serve, and grow. For all that you do and all that we do and all that is done in all of creation is harvested to the one infinite Creator, that It may know Itself ever better.

You are, then, that crossroads in which timelessness meets time and insight meets intellect. You do not need to let those two separate. You may continue to live a worldly life and at the same time, ever and always, daily enhance your connection with the divine. Remember that you are priests. It is said in your holy works that you are a nation of priests, and so you are, each of you those which conduct the sacred rite of living within the temple of your body, your mind, your emotions, your intellect, and your spirit.

I will leave you at this time. I am Hatonn. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and cleaned the filters in the fishpond and pumped out enough water so that the technician from Economical Aquatic Gardens can see the patch on the liner and avoid spraying it when he cleans the liner. While he was pumping out the rest of the water and putting my goldfish in containers and cleaning the liner I did some weeding by hand in the back yard. I began with weeding the flower garden in the center of the Moss Garden, and then I weeded the Morning Glory garden in the center of the Azaelia Garden. Then I weeded the Hostas that grow in front of the Forsythia Bushes behind the Azaelia Garden.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some five Begonias and three Striped Liriope and some food for myself. My third stop was at Frank Otte’s Nursery where I bought three more Striped Liriope. My fourth stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Pepsi-Zero, Kleenexes, and note cards.

The Good And Bad Wood

I come in the name of Jesus the Christ—I, the spirit of the living Christ in the world today. I greet you in the inestimable and eternal Love of the Father.

When the axeman hews the tree, he treats it carefully. He sees the good wood and the bad. He sees the wood that shall make lumber and the wood that shall make kindling. He has a perspective upon this tree that he could never have had as he gazed upon it as a living being, for he has moved that living being, deadened it, and claimed it for his own use.

Only through the hands of Spirit can such sacrifice be recovered, renewed and recreated. Consider well, my children, the lesson of the tree. Use what you need. For truly this is the way of your life. But give back that which your earth needs. Give back that which your peoples need, that the Holy Spirit, through each of you, may renew the face of the Earth.

We leave you in the striving amidst peace and the peace amidst all strife. We leave you in that peace the world knows not, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from November 30, 1975:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am the one known as Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator, the Creator of us all. It is, as always, my privilege to be with you, especially at this time, for we speak to those at a special time. We do not wish to make occasions where there are no occasions. Yet we say to you this is, within each of your experiences, a time of dedication. You may call it a rededication. Yet within this small group, my friends, there is a dedication that is not always found. Therefore, we say, “Greetings” in a special sense, from those of us who are privileged to be with you at this time. My brothers, you have heard many of our words, and it is as though we appear to you as tailors, measuring and cutting, and detailing and analyzing, and attempting to tailor for you the spiritual path, using our tools and laying it all together in a measured way. And this, of course, is because we have used these channels, and we have used words. In reality, we are not tailors, and there is no measure. In reality, our message is infinite, and there is no set pattern for progress. And that which we truly have to give you lies within the silence. We find that each of you is aware of this, and yet the words are comforting, and so we are very happy to speak with you.

You must know that in many ways, you are no longer dependent upon these words, for you carry within you the ability to receive thoughts. Each of you does not need the channel any longer. Yet, what one needs for survival and what one needs to be at his peak are two different things. And that is why it is a very, very good thing that you are still meeting to hear us, as well as to meditate. There is within each of you that which desires always to let go for a moment and simply be taught, be led. This is proper. And so, we welcome the opportunity to speak. Tonight, we would like to give you a few thoughts on the nature of innocence. We want you to think of your own nature, and of what you consider to be your sins, your errors, your mistakes. You who try, sometimes very hard, to be upon the spiritual path, often are very hard upon yourselves because you have erred, made a mistake. You have manifested that which was not positive. And you say, “Why have I done this? Why did I make this error? I did not mean that! Why did I do it?” And you concentrate on the error. And this does not seem to prevent you from making an error the next time.

The theme for this session was that this is a special time of dedication and innocence, so Hatonn began by saying it is their privilege to be with us, especially at this time, for they speak to us at a special time, and they do not wish to make occasions where there are no occasions, yet they said this is a time of dedication, and within this group there is a dedication that is not always found, so they said “Greetings” in a special sense, and they are privileged to be with us at this time, for we have heard many of their words, and it is as though they appear to us as tailors attempting to tailor for us the spiritual path, using their tools and laying it all together in a measured way because they have used these channels and these words, but in reality they are not tailors, and there is no measure, for their message is infinite, and there is no set pattern for progress, and that which they have to give us lies within the silence, and each of us is aware of this, and yet the words are comforting, so they are very happy to speak with us. Hatonn continued by saying we must know that in many ways, we are no longer dependent upon these words, for we carry within us the ability to receive thoughts, so each of us does not need the channel any longer because what we need for survival, and what we need to be at our peak are two different things, and that is why it is a good thing that we are still meeting to hear as well as to meditate because there is within each of us that which desires to let go for a moment and be led, for this is proper, and they welcome the opportunity to speak, so tonight they would like to give us a few thoughts on the nature of innocence, and they want us to think of our nature, and of what we consider to be our mistakes since we who try very hard to be upon the spiritual path, often are very hard upon our selves because we have erred, and we have manifested that which was not positive, and we say: “Why have I done this? Why did I make this error? I did not mean that! Why did I do it?” And we concentrate on the error, but this does not prevent us from making an error the next time. On April 8, 2007, Q’uo described what we may find within the silence:

It is an exciting time, and it is an important time for entities—that beginning, that waking up! And it is to be encouraged. Then there is a longer period in which, as you say, there are fewer and fewer questions, but you continue having questions, and it almost seems as though you finish one layer of questions only to find a deeper layer of questions.

And then, my brother, finally, as one continues to seek, one reaches a level where there is a great appreciation for the information that is within the silence, and the tendency is to be hungry not so much for words, which are the creation of humankind, but for the concepts that are full of the mystery of the one Creator, that can be communicated from heart to heart rather than from mind to mind.

My friends, we have said to you many times, “We greet you in love and in light.” We greet you in infinite perfection. We greet perfect beings who are totally innocent. We would like to suggest to you that instead of concentrating upon your mistakes, you ask yourself how much time you have spent this day investigating that portion of your unique person which is totally perfect. How much awareness have you had this day of the Love and the Light of the Creator you have within you? How aware have you been of your own innocence? When you concentrate upon your mistakes, you dwell within the world of mistakes. And mistakes will occur again and again. If your consciousness is dwelling at a higher resonance within the realm where you know that you are a creation of the Creator, you know that you can manifest the Creator’s Love. Then the opportunity for you to make a mistake and manifest that which is not Love will be that much farther from you. Meditation is not upon your mistakes; it is not upon the past. It is upon the eternal present, and upon your innocence. You are a child of Love.

We emphasize this at this time because you are attempting to dedicate yourself in a far deeper way than you have previously attempted to do. And the key to the deeper dedication is to be able to focus yourself not upon the world of mistakes, but upon the world in which that spirit within you, which is the Creator, which you may find it desirable to call the Christ Spirit within you, will manifest. My friends, it is written in your holy works that you do not know when this Spirit will come. It may come in the morning. Or It may come in the evening. Or It may come at midnight. And if your lamp is lit, all will be well. And if it is not lit, you will miss the Spirit. To dwell in the state of awareness that you are watching for the One Who Is All, and this is the source of the inspiration that will affect the kind of service that you wish to give, the kind of life that you wish to dedicate yourself to. You cannot analyze your own motives, your own acts, or other people’s motives and acts. They will tangle you all up, my friends. Only dedicate yourself, not just now, but in all the nows, to the Creator. Watch and wait, for you do not know when the Creator will come.

Now Hatonn said they have said to us many times, “We greet you in love and in light,” and they greet perfect beings who are totally innocent, and they suggest that instead of concentrating upon our mistakes, we ask our self how much time we have spent this day investigating that portion of our unique being which is totally perfect, and: “How much awareness have we had this day of the Love and the Light of the Creator we have within us ? How aware have we been of our own innocence?” Then Hatonn said when we concentrate upon our mistakes, we dwell within the world of mistakes, so  mistakes will occur again and again, but if our consciousness is dwelling at a higher resonance within the realm where we know that we are a creation of the Creator, we know that we can manifest the Creator’s Love, and then the opportunity for us to make a mistake and manifest that which is not Love will be that much farther from us, but meditation is not one of our mistakes; it is not within the past; it is within the eternal present and within our innocence, for we are a child of Love. Hatonn went on to say they emphasize this at this time because we are attempting to dedicate our self in a deeper way than we have previously attempted to do, and the key to the deeper dedication is to be able to focus our self, not upon the world of mistakes, but upon the world in which that Spirit within us, which is the Creator, so it is written in our holy works that we do not know when this Spirit will come since It may come in the morning; or It may come in the evening; or It may come at midnight, and if our lamp is lit, all will be well, but if it is not lit, we will miss the Spirit, so we must dwell in the state of awareness that we are watching for the One Who Is All, and this is the source of the inspiration that will affect the kind of service that we wish to dedicate our self to, for we cannot analyze our acts, or other people’s acts because they will tangle us all up, so we can dedicate our self to the Creator in all the nows, and watch and wait, for we do not know when the Creator will come. On April 21, 1991, Q’uo described the Spirit within us:

Be aware of the smallness of your solidified self. Look at that self in relation to this gigantic being which, of itself, offers you food. It is no mistake or coincidence that the universe that is seen by the greatest telescopes and the universe that is seen by the greatest microscopes in cyclotrons seem identical. Relax that solidified self at this time. Allow the Spirit within you to feel the consciousness which you truly are, to release Itself from the judgments and condemnations of humankind. Feel yourself as the servant that you are, as the prodigal who wished to move forward, to climb that great arc which is the second part of the circle of being, finally to come to the house of the infinite One, to be greeted, and fed, and rejoiced over as prodigal sons and daughters.

Within the innocence of your soul, that which is perfect will always be coming into you. So, concentrate on that. It is especially difficult within your people’s lives at this time to make this change in emphasis, for people more and more have become each other’s watchdog, and this is accepted within your culture, as you may call it. And those who attempt not to concentrate upon the negative are often considered unaware, or even stupid. Yet we assure you that the will that you create by your continued innocence of heart will be a light within this world, this world of yours which is dark at this time. My friends, it is as though the world were deep, deep asleep, and a few of you are attempting to remain awake. For you, my friends, Love may yet light up the sky. For those who sleep, it may be a long night. Other people’s reality will remain real for them. Yours will also remain real for you, no matter how, shall we say, difficult the times may get for those about you. It is truly written that to those which are innocent in heart, those things which are needed will come.

Hatonn continued by saying within the innocence of our soul, that which is perfect will always be coming into us, so we must concentrate on that because it is especially difficult within our  lives at this time to make this change in emphasis, for more and more we have become each other’s watchdog, and this is accepted within our culture, and those  of us who attempt not to concentrate upon the negative are often considered unaware, yet they assured us that the will that we create by our continued innocence of heart will be a light within this world which is dark at this time, and it is as though the world were deep asleep, but a few of us are attempting to remain awake, so for us Love may yet light up the sky, but for those who sleep it may be a long night since other people’s reality will remain real for them, and ours will also remain real for us no matter how difficult the times may get for those about us as it is truly written that to those which are innocent in heart, those things which are needed will come. On December 19, 1995, Q’uo spoke of how those things which are needed will come to us:

And most entities move through the incarnative experience only becoming aware of that state of grace in which the universe is kindly, and in which all things which are needed appear from time to time. Thusly, most entities see grace as that which occurs episodically, now here, now there, and then again elsewhere.

In actuality, these times when grace seems to come near and touch the entity are those times when the individual has been able involuntarily or consciously to allow the self to be completely natural, to rest in the center of being and to allow the natural flow of energy. It is as though the self were a receiver that only intermittently worked. In simplistic terms, then, the way towards maximizing the experience of grace in the incarnative experience is to attempt to come to a feeling within of balance. We would encourage seekers to think upon and ponder the concept of self with regard to the nature of the basic attitude that is given as a natural gift by the Creator to each entity, for the maximizing of the experience of grace can be accomplished by increasing the allowing of the self to rest in the natural balance.

I am so happy to be able to speak with you, and I will tell you it is close to my heart that each of you within this room has the ability to speak our thoughts. It is hoped that each of you will be able to help others. At this time. I would like to leave you so that Laitos, may speak through another channel. I leave you, my friends, in the love and light of the infinite Creator. I am known as Hatonn. I am you. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to trim the weeds out of the Striped Liriope Garden and the Azalea Garden in the back yard, and then I began trimming around the Forsythia Bushes on all three sides of the back yard.

This afternoon I went outside and weeded the flowers in the Ruins Mound by hand. Then I weeded the small Hosta Garden next to the Astilbe Garden in the back yard by hand.

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

July 1

The Liquor Of Righteousness

I am of the principle of Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

Know ye that the Spirit is everywhere to be found: in every raindrop, in every birdsong, in every mote of dust under your feet, and in every speck of sky overhead. There is that within you which drinks in this excellent liquor of righteousness and much light passes between the universe outside of you and the universe within.

When the seeker faces the universe as a part of the universe and moves so as to treasure dust and sky, bird and rose, the spirit is encouraged and strengthened and the bond between humankind and nature grows more into the unity that it should enjoy.

We encourage the finding of joy and laughter in the natural world about, for it is full of the Creator’s Spirit.

We leave you in peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from September 22, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. When we say that we know those whom we wish to help and those whom we do not wish to help, we do not speak of knowledge in your sense, and, therefore, that which we say to you concerning your progress as channels is prone to misunderstanding and even error. And yet, the fact remains that there is a flock and those of you who have the calling must be shepherds to that flock. And it is true that there are those who wish to be of the flock, and that there are those who do not wish to be of the flock. And we say to each of you who is a channel, your inner eye is unclouded. It is only your outer eye which becomes confused, and which sees mists and quicksand. Therefore, in your work, which is a good service, use your inner eye for that alone will serve you as you do the will of the Creator.

Before me, as we are here together, each of you sits bathed in Light, and from inside each of you I have the privilege of perceiving your desire to be of service. That this fountain may run clear and sweet is our chief concern. For that which is through you is of the Creator, and each of you are the Creator’s channels.

What can we say to you to encourage you that you have not already heard? Does it seem to you, perhaps, my friends, that in your service you are forever to be stunted, and thwarted, and always misunderstood? I can think of many things to say to you, many words, many thoughts, all of which are true, all of which would be kindly and encouraging, but, my friends, for you I will share with you that which is of another level of understanding. For within service, as within all things, there are many levels of comprehension.

The concept that Hatonn was discussing in this session concerned how they could assist those who wanted to be channels. Hatonn began by saying they know those who they wish to help and those who they do not wish to help, but they do not speak of knowledge in our sense, so that which they say to us concerning our progress as channels is prone to misunderstanding, yet there is a flock, and those of us who have the calling must be shepherds to that flock, and it is true that there are those who wish to be of the flock, and that there are those who do not wish to be of the flock, and they say to each of us who is a channel, our inner eye is unclouded, so it is only our outer eye which becomes confused and which sees mists and quicksand, and in our work, we can use our inner eye, for that alone will serve us as we do the will of the Creator. Hatonn went on to say before us, as we are here together, each of us sits bathed in Light, and from inside each of us they have the privilege of perceiving our desire to be of service, so that this fountain may run clear and sweet is their chief concern, for that which is through us is of the Creator, and each of us is the Creator’s channels, and: “What can we say to us to encourage us that we have not already heard? Does it seem to us that in our service we are forever to be stunted, and thwarted, and always misunderstood?” Then Hatonn said they can think of many things to say to us, many words, many thoughts, all of which are true, all of which would be kindly and encouraging, but, for us they will share that which is of another level of understanding, for within service, as within all things, there are many levels of comprehension. On July 22, 1990, Q’uo spoke of how different levels of understanding are part of our spiritual journey:

The non-local nature of this language refers to a philosophical description that attempts to describe a situation in its most fundamental components. This has to do primarily with the articulation of the qualities of Love and Light as they are acted upon by Free Will. The Free Will being that consciousness which has evolved to a certain level of understanding or breadth of perception according to its own experiences and its efficacy in blending its vibrations with the creation about it so that it discovers the nature of the events, entities, ideas, and interactions by becoming these events, ideas, entities and interactions.

This type of language is that which expresses itself by what you may call a kind of concept communication. Quite literally in your terms it is the equivalent of walking in another entity’s shoes, so that one approaches complete efficiency in the communication.

As you desire to go forth and serve, therefore, know this, that you must be prepared to give away all that you have to give. You must be prepared to walk away and not look back. For there is nothing that you can do for your Creator, but everything. It is a hard lesson, and people have, always, the illusion with which to part within this lesson and they say, “Everything? Not everything!” But, my friends, everything must belong to the Creator. This is hard and yet, if you may realize this fact within your own thinking, your service will become such a thing as I cannot possibly describe.

There is an inevitable blooming of every plant, and each tree will bear fruit in its time. The fruit of your service is a long time coming. For you have worked towards this moment for a long time to your way of thinking, and as you approach this time, you have achieved many lessons, but the final fruits come only after the fruit has dropped from the plant which gave it life. Do not take these words in intellectual ingestion, attempting to coddle an understanding from their specific meaning, for we are speaking not of the physical, but of that which is spiritual. Do not think in terms of the visible, for service is invisible. All those things which are visible, in reality, are invisible, eternal, and completely without limitation, for they are all one thing. They are all the Creator. Everything must be given to the Creator because the Creator is everything.

Hatonn went on to say as we desire to go forth and serve, that we must be prepared to give away all that we have to give, and we must be prepared to walk away and not look back, for there is nothing that we can do for our Creator, but everything, so it is a hard lesson, and people have the illusion to part from this lesson, and they say, “Everything? Not everything!” But everything must belong to the Creator, and this is hard, yet if we may realize this fact within our thinking, our service will become such a thing that cannot possibly be described, and Hatonn continued by saying there is a blooming of every plant, and each tree will bear fruit in its time, so the fruit of their service is a long time coming, for they have worked towards this moment for a long time to Hatonn’s way of thinking, and as they approach this time, they have achieved many lessons, but the final fruits come after the fruit has dropped from the plant which gave it life, so do not take these words in intellectual ingestion, attempting to create an understanding from their meaning, for they are speaking of that which is spiritual, but do not think in terms of the visible, for service is invisible, and all those things which are visible are invisible and eternal, for they are all one thing, so they are all the Creator, and everything must be given to the Creator because the Creator is everything. On October 6, 2006, Q’uo said that the Creator is everything:

My brother, there is always unseen help, and that is not simply when there is a sweat lodge. There is unseen help in every breath you take. It is said in your holy works that the Creator knows when a sparrow falls. This is true; this is abundantly true. For the Creator is everything that there is. It is a system of reportage that is unparalleled. If the Creator is in all parts of the creation, how shall It not know all of the rhythms and rightnesses of the patterns of the dance of creation?

This massive indifference that you find may be turned, in an instant, my friends, by the service of your own thinking from a neutrality to a glorious joy. The indifference, the difficulties, the hindrances of service are part of an illusion which is not yours to understand. For, my friends, it is not understandable. It is simply yours to experience. This service begins within your heart which is completely empty and open, for you have given all that you have to the Creator. And in return, my friends, the Creator has come into this empty and open place. The Creator has filled your essence with Love and Light, and you have become a true channel, able to illuminate each moment with Love. Your service will come. As you desire, it shall be. You may, therefore, prepare and having prepared you may lie down in rest, content with the glory shining around you.

Hatonn continued by saying this indifference that we find may be turned in an instant by the service of our thinking from neutrality to joy, so the difficulties of service are part of an illusion which is not ours to understand, for it is not understandable since it is ours to experience, and this service begins within our heart which is open, for we have given all that we have to the Creator, and in return the Creator has come into this open place, and It has filled our essence with Love and Light, and we have become a true channel, able to illuminate each moment with Love, so our service will come, and as we desire, it shall be, for we may prepare, and having prepared we may lie down in rest, content with the glory shining around us. On March 3, 1985, Hatonn described how we may become a true channel:

If you allow the illusion to become real enough to mask the metaphysical boundaries under which you actually have allegiance, you shall therefore become unable to be of service to yourself or to others. Therefore, we urge each as we urge this instrument most of all to dwell as your holy work says, “under the shadow of the most high,” to allow the most high, that is infinitely about you, to move within your vibratory field in order that you may then be a true channel.

I am aware that there are questions in your minds and I would like to take this opportunity to answer them, if you wish to ask them. Do you have any questions?

[No queries.]

Hatonn: In that case, my friends, I will speak with you concerning a question which, in a general way, is in several of your minds at this time. You have had wonder as to why the Confederation of Planets wishes to serve the Creator by means of coming to planet Earth and talking to groups such as yours. We can certainly understand how puzzling this must look, for within the density which you now enjoy, the approach would not be used, due to the fact that it would not cause a certain change within the group which you intended to aid. However, my friends, you may perhaps gain some understanding of our actions if you will consider that it has been within the history of your people a frequent custom of those who are somewhat of an advanced nature, relatively, reaching out to aid a more primitive, or less sophisticated citizen, or group of people, who are on the threshold of entering a more sophisticated environment. We may add, my friends, that most of the attempts that have been made by those known as missionaries, social groups, sent by the government and others, end with a very low success rate. We hope, my friends, that our basic success rate in aiding you is higher, and this is the reason that we do not come among you and attempt to force you to understand that which we are telling you.

You see, my friends, you are at the beginning of a truly new age. The vibrations are being made new at this time and those who embody within themselves the consciousness of great beings will become that which they know and they… which they are. And we desire to bring each of you who is seeking into this new vibration, content to fulfill your own great destiny in the new age. We have made the step. We exist within this environment at this time, and we know of the help that what you might call a cheering team can do for you, and so we cheer you along. We urge you to, shall we say, do your technique, do your homework so that you may be what you desire to be. These things do not happen by accident. They happen by desire. That desire must originate within you. We are attempting to stimulate the desire that is already within you.

The question was: “Why the Confederation of Planets wishes to serve the Creator by means of coming to planet Earth and talking to groups such as yours.” Hatonn began by saying they can understand how puzzling this must look, for within the density which we now enjoy, the approach would not be used, due to the fact that it would not cause a certain change within the group which they intended to aid, but we may gain some understanding of their actions if we will consider that it has been within the history of those who are somewhat of an advanced nature reaching out to aid a sophisticated group of people, who are on the threshold of entering a more sophisticated environment, and they said that most of the attempts that have been made by those known as missionaries or social groups end with a low success rate, so they hope that their success rate in aiding us is higher, and this is the reason that they do not come among us and attempt to force us to understand that which they are telling us. Hatonn continued by saying we are at the beginning of a new age, and the vibrations are being made new at this time, and those who embody within themselves the consciousness of great beings will become that which they know, and which they are, so they desire to bring each of us who is seeking into this new vibration, content to fulfill our own destiny in the new age, for they have made the step, and they exist within this environment at this time, and they know of the help that a cheering team can do for us, and so they cheer us along, so they urge us to do our homework so that we may be what we desire to be since these things do not happen by accident, but they happen by desire, and that desire must originate within us, and they are attempting to stimulate the desire that is already within us. On January 7, 1974, Oxal spoke of the beginning of a new ago on our planet:

We are here for a special purpose. We are here to serve. Think of this. We are here to serve. This is important. As you now near the end of a master cycle, there will be changes in your physical world. These changes should not be feared. They should be welcomed. For they are signals to you that a new age is dawning. If you understand it, and walk among your people unafraid, then you too will serve. For they will see in you an inner knowledge, which we will provide you. We will also serve you through the absolute limits of our ability. There are cycles in time, and cycles in space, and all things operate in cycles. Your planet now approaches the end of a great, great cycle of time. This has been a learning time, an evolving time, a time of growing. And many of the people of your planet are now ready for a transition to a much more glorious existence.

There is much joy and much beauty and the constant presence of the Creator of us all very apparent of the new vibration. The new vibration is Love, as is the old vibration. And yet, my friends, the truth of Love becomes a little more obvious with the higher vibrations. Through meditation, my friends, you may begin to see the heart of Love in all the clumsy actions of all those who enter your atmosphere in your daily activities. There may be a great deal of difficulty. There may be misspent time and mistaken words, and yet, my friends, each action and each desire is, in truth, a manifestation of Love, shadowed and twisted sometimes, for man is also a Creator and can cause the shape of Love to change. Yet the heart of all action is Love.

Know this within your inmost self, and then you cannot be touched by that illusion which attempts to strike you. The freedom that this gives you to give forth Love in its original state at all times to all people is a very precious gift we think. This is why the Confederation is here. We are all here, many, many of us from different planets, from different vibrations, from various densities, in many circumstances, yet we all work together for we have all come to know the Creator and we all wish to be of service to the Creator, and that alone is enough for us. We only wish to help you. We are one of many who wish to help you. We are here always; in words, if you may find a channel, and without words if you desire our presence. We are always with you to lend our vibrations to your mediation if you so desire.

Hatonn went on to say there is much joy, and beauty, and the constant presence of the Creator of us all is apparent in the new vibration of Love, as is the old vibration, yet the truth of Love becomes obvious within the higher vibrations, and through meditation we may begin to see the heart of Love in the clumsy actions of those who enter our atmosphere in our daily activities, so there may be difficulty, and there may be misspent time and mistaken words, but each action and each desire is a manifestation of Love, shadowed and twisted sometimes, for man is also a Creator and can cause the shape of Love to change, yet the heart of all action is Love. Now Hatonn said we must know this within our inmost self, and then we cannot be touched by that illusion which attempts to strike us, and the freedom that this gives us to share Love in Its original state at all times to all people is a precious gift, and this is why the Confederation is here, and many of them are from different planets and from various densities, yet they all work together, for they have all come to know the Creator, and they all wish to be of service to the Creator, and that alone is enough for them, and they are one of many who wish to help us, and they are here always in words, if we may find a channel, and without words if we desire their presence, for they are always with us to lend their vibrations to our mediation if we so desire. On October 4, 1974, Hatonn spoke of the nature of our journey into the higher vibrations that we all are moving into:

It is possible to speed your progress within this vibration by means of contacting the creation that is within you. And it is this that we have been attempting to guide you to. Each of you, my friends, is attracted to that which we have to give you because you have in the past managed to accumulate enough experience within this vibration that you are vibrating at the level at which your desires are attempting to satisfy themselves by moving into the higher vibrations of spiritual seeking. You have traveled far, my friends. It has been a long journey. You have an infinity of traveling to do yet, I assure you, but, my friends, the lessons are good.

I will leave you now, my friends. It has been a great privilege to be with you. I am so glad to have been able to share this meeting with you. I hope that our words have been of some aid to you. I leave you in the Creator’s love and light. I am Hatonn. Adonai. Adonai vasu.

This morning I switched out the sheets on my bed from the green ones to the blue ones. Then I washed and dried the sheets and pillow cases. Then I ironed the flat sheet and the pillow cases.

This afternoon I went outside and transplanted a flat of Begonias into the Wuthering Heights Mound in the front yard to take the place of the Zinnias that have recently died out. Then I used my trimmer to trim the first quarter of the back yard from the bird feeder to Little Locust Creek and from the Forsythia Bushes to the Lilac Bushes.

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

The Natural Darkness Of Flesh

I am the voice of Christ’s consciousness of Love to the world, and I greet you in the Love of Jesus the Christ.

This instrument has long pondered why there is discomfort to the instrument when the instrument begins to tune itself and prepare for contact with the Spirit of the living God.

Know ye that you are both Light and darkness. As it has been written, the Light came into the world, but the darkness knew it not.

One who seeks the living Spirit that speaks to the world today seeks the Light which the world recognizes not, nor does the body in the natural darkness of flesh.

Thusly, when the mind and spirit are entrained to a higher and more compassionate tuning, there is created within the being a unity in which one part does not recognize the other. The Light does not recognize the darkness, nor the darkness, the Light.

Know that you are both, and that your choice is always the darkness of a world which has not thought of Christ or the Light which is the powerful and renewing thought of Christ in the world.

We leave you in peace, both now and through eternity. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from August 6, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Hatonn. I greet you. I wish to speak through this instrument, and while this instrument is speaking, my brother, the one known to you as Laitos will condition each of you who desires [inaudible].

We are aware that within your thinking there are many shades of difference, and that you are fascinated with the idea, with the various steps which you must take in order to proceed on the path. We are aware that you have a desire to understand the various categories of experience, the various densities that you have a desire for mainly that which you now seek and begin to understand. We did not understand these things when we first came here. But we have become more sophisticated in the ways of your planet through the years that we have spent within this sector of time and space. We know your people better than we used to and we know of the desire of your people for their categories to be named.

This instrument is almost reluctant to speak this to you due to [inaudible], for her thinking has been upon these very thoughts. We can assure her that this is not her fault but ours. These thoughts are [inaudible] but we are [inaudible]. My friends, we can only tell you that the very idea of density and category, the colors of the rainbow, each of the categorical functions which the human mind so values, is a trap and an illusion in the spiritual sense. We cannot put it any more gently and have you understand what we mean. You must understand, my friends, that all categories are occupants of this illusion which you now enjoy, which you have enjoyed since your physical birth, which you will cease enjoying upon your physical death. There is absolutely no harm in understanding the categories with which you must cope in the illusion. However, to allow this to sink into that which you know as your spiritual path is to allow a crippling influence, a haunting and blinding influence to encroach upon your search for the source of light within you.

The concept being discussed in this session was the nature of the spiritual path. Hatonn began by saying they are aware that within our thinking there are many shades of difference, and that we are fascinated with the various steps which we must take in order to proceed on the path, and they are aware that we have a desire to understand the various densities, for we have a desire for that which we now seek and begin to understand, for they did not understand these things when they first came here, but they have become more sophisticated in the ways of our planet through the years that they have spent within this sector of time and space, so they know our people better than they used to, and  they know of the desire of our people for our categories to be named. Hatonn continued by saying Carla is reluctant to speak this to us due to [inaudible], for her thinking has been upon these very thoughts, and they can assure her that this is not her fault but theirs, so they can only tell us that the idea of density and each of the categorical functions which the human mind so values, is an illusion in the spiritual sense, so they cannot put it more gently and have us understand what they mean, but we must understand that all categories are occupants of this illusion which we have enjoyed since our birth, which we will cease enjoying upon our physical death, and there is no harm in understanding the categories with which we must cope in the illusion, but to allow this to sink into that which we know as our spiritual path is to allow a crippling to encroach upon our search for the source of Light within us. On April 6, 2003, Q’uo said that the conflicts and struggles that we experience are an illusion of our human mind:

One must give oneself permission to be content, and happy, and blessed, for these are not things which are in the training which your culture offers its people. It is not taught among your people that happiness is a natural state, but rather that struggling and competition are the natural state. And each is aware of many ways in which the culture itself offers these lessons to those who are growing and in need of instruction. Always it is the spiritual sense alone that is able to release the conflicts, the struggles, those things which are the truth of the illusion, in order to turn once again to the stunning mystery of oneness, to the love that is all that you see, to the light that has created all that is, without blinking at those things which seem good and which seem evil.

Ourunderstanding, my friends, is that all things are one. Nothing could be simpler than this understanding. To ask for one of the patients, categories, followers of the rainbow, densities, or any other mist or characteristics is to attempt to impose illusion on reality. Reality is not a process. Reality does not change. That which is Light simply is. It is neither active nor passive. It occupies no paradoxes. The beginning and the ending are this unity. At the end of the physical lies all eternity. And yet eternity implies a process, an endless process. My friends, this is true for there are many other lessons to be learned, many other categories to be understood as you grow closer and closer to that which is your beginning and your end. But it is our understanding that there is a point at which eternity itself is no more, and in the eyes of one who truly understands one simply becomes that which is. Becoming is done. The circle is complete. The unity is truly known. It is possible to move closer and closer to this understanding through meditation. We are pleased with this group in that its group desire is aimed largely towards an understanding of the metaphysical. Therefore, we may give you information such as this. It is our desire that we are able to give for the metaphysical information. For information such as this is of the higher type. For information on such things as density and other categorical questions are lesser in their importance to your spiritual journey.

Hatonn went on to say their understanding is that all things are one, and nothing could be simpler than this understanding, and to ask for one of the densities, or any other characteristics, is to impose illusion on reality because reality is not a process; reality does not change; that which is Light simply is, and it is neither active nor passive; it occupies no paradoxes; the beginning and the ending are this unity; at the end of the physical lies all eternity, yet eternity implies a process, an endless process, so this is true for there are many other lessons to be learned as we grow closer to that which is our beginning and our end, but it is Hatonn’s understanding that there is a point at which eternity is no more, and in the eyes of one who truly understands, one becomes that which is; becoming is done; the circle is complete; unity is known, and it is possible to move closer to this understanding through meditation, and they are pleased with this group in that its desire is aimed towards an understanding of the metaphysical, so they may give us information such as this, and it is their desire that they are able to give the metaphysical information, for information such as this is of the higher type, and for information on such things as density and other categorical questions are lesser in their importance to our spiritual journey. On May 2, 1999, Q’uo said that Light simply is:

The entity you are attempting to build is the world soul or the social memory complex, as this instrument would say it. Light simply is. Yet time and space create the need for movement, and it is in becoming aware of graceful movement in habit, in ways of thinking, in disciplines of the personality, in purification of the emotions, that you may reliably hope and trust that you will make progress, that you will at the end of an incarnation be measurably more able to see the self and the other self without significant distortion when first you grasped the fact that you were alone in this illusion and wailed your first wail upon being born.

I am Hatonn. I have been privileged to speak with you this evening. I leave in the love and the light of the Infinite Creator. Adonai, vasu, boragus.

This morning I went upstairs and cleaned the rug in the hall with the carpet sweeper. Then I used a wet mop to clean the floors in all three rooms of Benny’s apartment. Then I went outside and used the garden hose and sprayer attachment to clean the filters for the fountain in the fishpond. Then I fertilized the water lilies and noticed a number of flower buds and one pink one in bloom. Then I added some water to the fishpond and a little AquaSafe to neutralize the chlorine in the fishpond.

This afternoon I visited my neighbor, Calvin, in the Valhalla Nursing Home and brought her a medium-sized chocolate milkshake. We talked for a while about her upcoming move to a nursing home closer to her son’s home in Mount Sterling, KY. Then I showed her some pictures on my iPhone of the flower gardens at the Yew Dell Gardens that Anna and I visited a week ago. I told her I would visit her again before she leaves the Valhalla Nursing Home. On my way home I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself and a tray of Begonias. Then I stopped at Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy some Pepsi-Zero, Kleenexes, and a case of bottled water.

Healing Unwellness

I am of the principle of the Spirit of the Love of Christ. I greet you in the holy name of Jesus the Christ.

Put your hand in front of your face. See the solidity, the careful architecture of its bones and tendons, its sinews, and the delicate covering which sheaths the mighty machine that can do so many, many things.

Gaze at the perfection of the weight-bearing feet which are constructed in such a way that all of the weight of a very large physical body may rest comfortably. And with healthy strides, distance may be eaten up.

Consider the grand and perfect functioning of each and every portion of your physical body and see the beauty of its design. And each time that you may feel the symptom of unwellness of any kind, recall that feeling of honor and pride in the perfection of the design of this body of yours, and know that in each cell that perfection vibrates.

So, thinking upon the word of the Lord, Jesus Christ, remember the perfection of all things and allow the releasing of that which binds you to your unwellness.

We leave you in the peace and the Love of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from June 29, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. As I was saying, we request that you attempt at all times to concentrate your energy on those positive forces within your thinking in order that as you attempt to perform your service to the Creator, you may perform a true service and avoid infringing upon that very service by negativity. It is to be remembered, my friends, that service to others is service to oneself. Notice that we do not say that service to others is like unto service to oneself. There is no similarity between others and ourselves—there is identity. There is completion and unity. Therefore, that which is felt of a negative nature towards a sheep of the flock is felt towards oneself, and is felt towards the Creator. This enters the service which you are attempting to give to yourself and to the Creator through service to another and causes a blot or a stain upon the perfect service you would have performed. It must be remembered that each person is a completely free entity whose independence must in no way be shaken and yet whose identity remains one with you.

It is necessary to walk with the feet of each whom you wish to serve. It is necessary to look through this person’s eyes. And it is necessary to observe precisely what this person is observing. At that time, my friends, you are capable of accepting this person’s oneness with you on an intellectual level. On the level of spirituality there is no need for such detailed understanding. To be one with another person, with a planet, with a rock, with a tree, or with a star, it would all be equally possible. But, you wish your service, and so we speak to you upon the identification of yourself with the person whom you serve.

The theme for this session was that we should attempt at all times to concentrate our energy on those positive forces within our thinking as we attempt to perform our service to the Creator. Hatonn began by saying that they request that we attempt to concentrate our energy on positive forces within our thinking in order that as we attempt to perform our service to the Creator, we may perform a true service and avoid infringing upon that service by negativity, for it is to be remembered that service to others is service to oneself, so notice that we do not say that service to others is like unto service to oneself since there is no similarity between others and our selves, but there is identity, completion, and unity, so that which is felt of a negative nature towards a sheep of the flock is felt towards  our self, and is felt towards the Creator, and this enters the service which we are attempting to give to our self and to the Creator through service to another and causes a stain upon the perfect service we would have performed, so it must be remembered that each person is a free entity whose independence must in no way be shaken and whose identity remains one with us. Then Hatonn said it is necessary to walk with the feet of each whom we wish to serve, and it is necessary to look through this person’s eyes, and it is necessary to observe what this person is observing, so at that time we are capable of accepting this person’s oneness with us on an intellectual level, but on the level of spirituality there is no need for such detailed understanding, so to be one with another person, with a planet, with a rock, with a tree, or with a star, it would all be equally possible, but we wish to know our service, and so Hatonn spoke to us upon the identification of our self with the person whom we serve. On April 26, 2008, Q’uo spoke of how we can be one with another person:

When an entity is so open-hearted that he is able to put himself into another’s shoes and to walk a mile in his shoes, he has indeed performed a creative act. He has accepted his brother as himself. He has taken on his burdens. He has experienced that which he could never experience within his own individual life. This indicates a magical and loving personality with a spiritual maturity that is unique to those who have awakened and who have become able to be magical persons.

I am Hatonn. I am sorry for delay. I will continue. The question then, my friends, is how to understand in a true and final way the identity between yourself and each one whom you serve. There is no intellectual way to do this, my friends. Within the holy work which was recorded following the actions of the master known to you as Jesus lies very revealing passages upon this subject. The master known to you as Jesus said that any one who fed a hungry man or clothed a naked one, or visited those in prison, or helped the widows and orphans had done this for this master’s sake. For even as they had done this to the least of his brothers, they had done it unto him.

We are aware that is almost impossible for the human mind while entrapped in the chemical illusion to truly believe that other men are identical to yourself. Thus, it is far more possible through faith that you may begin to understand that each man whom you wish to serve is the Creator. In a higher source, you and they can merge, and it is this seed which we suggest that you develop in your understanding. We will have great need of your understanding in the days to come. It is important that you do not deal in any negative way with those who would request answers to questions. Therefore, we hope that you will take these thoughts and allow them to grow as you meditate.

Now Hatonn said the question is how to understand in a true way the identity between our self and each one whom we serve, but there is no intellectual way to do this because within the holy work which was recorded following the actions of the Master known to us as Jesus lies revealing passages upon this subject, and the Master known as Jesus said that anyone who fed a hungry man or clothed a naked one, or visited those in prison, or helped the widows and orphans had done this for this Master’s sake, for even as they had done this to the least of His brothers, they had done it unto Him. Hatonn continued by saying that is almost impossible for the human mind, while trapped in the illusion, to believe that other people are identical to our self. Thus, it is possible through faith that we may begin to understand that each person whom we wish to serve is the Creator, and in a higher source, we and they can merge, and it is this seed which Hatonn suggested that we develop in our understanding, so they will have need of our understanding in the days to come, for it is important that we do not deal in any negative way with those who would request answers to questions, so they hoped that we will take these thoughts and allow them to grow as we meditate. On June 3, 1984, Laitos said that through faith we may know that we and everyone else are the Creator:

It is true, my brother, that each of you within your illusion labors under quite, as you would say, adverse conditions, for each of you is the Creator, yet that truth can only be felt to most of your people through faith, for that great veil of which you speak does indeed exist. That veil shields your knowing of your true identity from your conscious mind with great efficiency so that you are as the one who plays the game of cards. You do not know the rules, yet you hold the hand and on the other side of that veil could see clearly each card, each rule, each play, and would do what was most loving with each action and thought. Yet, in your present position, you struggle through a darkness of forgetting, searching for the card and perplexed at the game and learning the rules, shall we say, by trial and by error.

Yet, we say there are no errors, for each experience is a grand effort of the Creator to know Itself, and as you move through your illusion little by little the Light of truth which you see illuminates more and more of your path. The great obstacles which stand before you due to your own ignorance of your identity allow you to achieve a spiritual strength which would not be possible should there be no veil, and should you know that you are the Creator and should you know that without doubt.

Negativity is a type of power. It has many, many manifestations. Those religions which you know of as Oriental or Eastern personify these negative impulses in many beautiful shapes of gods and goddesses. While you who are dwelling within, as you would call it, Western culture, can think of negative manifestations in the terms of Satan and demons. Modern science with its intellectual explanations has derived a great multitude of physiological phrases and descriptions for these negative manifestations. All of these manifestations are indications that those who are aware of them are under the illusion that they are not one with the Creator. They are all expressions of separation and isolation. There is only one true positive method of polarization. It may go by many different names, but you may identify it because of its simple unity, that which is sought being union with the Creator. Under whatever name you may find this, you may be sure that within this path lies positivity.

Hatonn went on to say negativity is a type of power with many manifestations, and those religions which we know of as Oriental personify these negative impulses in beautiful shapes of gods and goddesses, and while we, who are dwelling within the Western culture, can think of negative manifestations in the terms of Satan and demons which modern science, with its intellectual explanations, has derived a multitude of physiological descriptions for these negative manifestations, so all of these manifestations are indications that those who are aware of them are under the illusion that they are not one with the Creator, but they are all expressions of separation, for there is one positive method of polarization, and it may go by different names, but we may identify it because of its unity, that which is sought being union with the Creator, so under whatever name we may find this, we may be sure that within this path lies positivity. On March 7, 1982, Latwii said that which we seek is union with the Creator:

The integration of the mind, the body, and the spirit in the evolutionary progress of union with the Creator is that process which is most necessary for each entity to accomplish upon this planet at this time. This process is most carefully watched over by those entities we have previously described as being the guides, the guardians, the angelic presences.

It has been a great privilege speaking with you this evening. I shall leave this group at this time. I am known to you as Hatonn. It has been my service to speak using these instruments this evening. We shall use the other instruments at another time. Adonai. Adonai vasu.

This morning I went outside and used the trimmer to trim the weeds around the gardens in front of and on both sides of the fishpond and in the pet cemetery.

This afternoon I went outside and trimmed the weeds on the north side of my home and in the gardens in front of my home.

FromA Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 28

Turn To The Creation

I am of the Spirit of the Love of Jesus Christ, and I greet you in the consciousness of Love.

The faith of many has been destroyed by dependence upon the outer reality. The outer reality is as a room which no one may clean, and no mop may scour. The eye of man sees many broken things in the outer world and loses heart. Yet before the Spirit can flow through a life, first the heart must be turned to hope.

If hope cannot be found in outer things, then perhaps words have failed, and it is time for the seeker to turn in the direction of the creation to observe those things in the creation which man has not broken or crippled. The song of the bird, the movement of the breeze, and the beauty of sunsets and sunrises still express and manifest the glory and wonder of a perfect creation. When words fail, turn to those things which know not how to avoid manifesting the full consciousness of Love.

We leave you in love and peace, 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from June 23, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with you once again, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. We are surrounded by Love. You are surrounded by the same Love and that which flows between us makes us one. We are here, my friends, in your skies at this time to speak with those upon your planet who desire to hear our voices. We sing an anthem of praise to the Creator. We offer the rejoicing and the ecstasy of all of these portions of reality in hopes that the Light we share may reflect upon you, and that we may see reflected back a growing awakening of the Light and the portion of reality which deals with each of you. This is a somewhat stately and slow-moving task. We have not been hasty, my friends. We have observed that which we have attempted, and we have in many cases altered our methods. We have tried many new ways as time passed upon your planet, and we are progressing in our program in such a way that we hope to give you the most completely efficient display of that which we have to give you and that we [inaudible].

And what do we have to give you, my friends? We have to give you most of all a door. Only a doorway. Only a suggestion. We have to give you the suggestion of another world. Another complete reality. A reality that transcends this reality, that includes this reality, that explains this reality, that will completely outlast this reality and to which reality you will repair after this brief experience upon the earth plane. We can give you this suggestion of eternity. We can offer you our suggestions as to how to approach this doorway. We have spoken many times of meditation. This is the most efficient way of approaching this door, the desire within you to go through the door and that alone will lead you through. Meditation, my friends, creates the possibility of nearing the door.

Hatonn began this session by saying that over time they had used various ways to give spiritual information to those on Earth who would like to have it. They began by saying they are in our skies at this time to speak with those upon our planet who desire to hear their voices, and they sing an anthem of praise to the Creator, so they offer the rejoicing and the ecstasy of all of these portions of reality in hopes that the Light they share may reflect upon us, and that they may see reflected back a growing awakening of the Light and the portion of reality which deals with each of us, but they have not been hasty as they have observed what they have attempted, so they have altered their methods, and they have tried new ways as time passed upon our planet, and they are progressing in their program in such a way that they hope to give us the most efficient display of that which they have to give us. Hatonn went on to say that they have a doorway to give us, as a suggestion of another world, a reality that transcends this reality, that includes this reality, that explains this reality, that will completely outlast this reality and to which reality we will go after this brief experience upon the Earth, so they can give us this suggestion of eternity, and they can offer us their suggestions as to how to approach this doorway by using meditation since this is the most efficient way of approaching this door, and the desire within us to go through the door and that alone will lead us through. On December 2, 1979, Hatonn described how meditation can help us to experience the true nature of reality:

You must understand that in meditation you are not trying to contact anything. The idea in meditation is one wherein you realize that you are. Not who you are, not where you are, but that you are. That you are aware, that you are in the eternal present. When you feel this, you will feel a sweetness and a closeness to the Creator that comes from breaking through the illusions of space and time and coming into that place where you can simply be who you are. That person is greatly loved by the Creator. And that person can greatly love others.

Thus, we consider meditation quite essential. We also consider that as you meditate and grow in knowledge you then have a responsibility to share what you know with others in whatever path may seem to be open to you. As we have said, the path may be big or small; it may be dramatic; or it may be unnoticed. It may be public or quite private, but whatever it is, it will be your intention to give love and be of service in your little corner of the universe.

What do we have to give you? We have to give you something that you are seeking. It is only important to those who are already aware that they do not have what they are seeking. This is our great difficulty in speaking with you. We can only speak to those who already know that there is something to speak about. To those people to whom reality within the illusion is acceptable, our words will be nothing and less than nothing. To those people who are seeking our words will find a place. Our words will become your words, my friends, as you seek. For as you seek you will find, and as you are seeking upon the same path which we have trod, our thoughts and your thoughts will become as one and we will vibrate in harmony.

What do you seek? You are already aware of the very seed of that which you seek. What are you going to do to seek it? My friends, we suggest that you look at your meditation as the seed which is growing in the rich soil of your physical existence. It will bear fruit within your existence. And the fragrance and the beauty which meditation sheds throughout the illusion will last far beyond the illusory flower, for the gifts of this fruit last forever. Allow the seed of meditation to be endlessly nurtured within each day and, my friends, that which you need to do to bloom will come to you. The fruit which you need to supply to be of service to others will be possible for you to produce. The energy which you need to grow and flourish will be yours, and when you need rest there will be time for rest, for once you are committed to the gentle cycles of eternity the physical illusion very quietly falls into place.

Hatonn continued by saying they have something to give us that we are seeking, but it is only important to those of us who are aware that we do not have what we are seeking, and this is their difficulty in speaking with us, so they can only speak to those of us that already know that there is something to speak about, for to those people to whom reality within the illusion is acceptable, their words will be less than nothing, but to those of us who are seeking their words will find a place, and we will become our words as we seek, for as we seek we will find, and as we are seeking upon the same path which they have traveled, their thoughts and our thoughts will become as one, and we both will vibrate in harmony. Then Hatonn said we are already aware of the seed of that which we seek, and they suggested that we look at our meditation as the seed which is growing in the rich soil of our physical existence, so it will bear fruit within our existence, and the fragrance and the beauty which meditation sheds throughout the illusion will last beyond the illusory flower, for the gifts of this fruit last forever, so we must allow the seed of meditation to be nurtured within each day and, that which we need to do to bloom will come to us, and the fruit which we need to supply to be of service to others will be possible for us to produce, so the energy which we need to grow will be ours, and when we need rest there will be time for rest, for once we are committed to the gentle cycles of eternity the physical illusion very quietly falls into place. On April 18, 1999, Q’uo spoke of how seeking together with them and others seekers can help each of us to find that which we are seeking:

We ask of you only that you listen to our words as to those of a brother or sister, for we are not perfect nor any kind of authority over you but, rather, we are those who are pilgrims on what this instrument calls the King’s Highway. We are in service to the one infinite Creator, and as we seek, we know you also seek this beauty, this truth, this mystery, this way, this life. It is good to have such companions, and as we said, a great blessing to us to be able to be of service in this way. And we thank each.

As we rest in the comfort and the beauty of your blended vibrations, we find ourselves aware of much each of you already knows from experience, from suffering and undergoing great difficulty, from being held together and lifted up by the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Each has beautiful stories to tell of those times when everything seemed clear, and the creation truly did seem to be one beautiful, harmonious symphony of people and relationships, and nature, and things great and small, all moving together with rhythm and pulse and a lovely dance that was new every moment.

We are most pleased to be speaking with you. We would like to transfer this contact at this time. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. I am very happy to be with you and to be able to speak with you. At this time, I will ask if there are any questions.

Questioner: [Inaudible]

Hatonn: I am reluctant to speak ahead of the time appointed. All will be well. You must work, for this is a matter of free will. Do you understand?

Questioner: [Inaudible]

Carla: I’m just not getting anything except a contact point. The contact is just strong. They just… they’re sending Light.

Questioner [Inaudible]

Hatonn: You would understand this section as headquarters. We are a field organization. The activities of our united people are manifold and varied, and we have recourse to a central organism which is somewhat like a computer, but which does not become classified as an inanimate object in your system of understanding as it is at present. This computer-like entity is made of thought and is dimensionless, thus unifying that which is somewhat diverse. This means that instructions may be set in… in a more specific way than by contacts such as this one. This computer-like entity has powers within the realm of mass. We are not operating under this type of [inaudible]. We may work in time [inaudible]. We may speak flexibly [inaudible]. We have different jobs to do. There are conditions under which activities of the central organization and we in the field may merge. These conditions are very stringent.

As to why those particular people were chosen, we can explain it best by telling you that we were looking for people of a specific type of vibration. These were people who have been intended for this particular experience at this particular time. The one known as Uri is an exceptional and rare person in that he is not native to this planet except for his inclination. His powers are only a small part of that which he had awareness of previous to this excursion into this density. Andrija Puharich is a person who has worked within this planet’s influence in other incarnations. His progress through several incarnations along the path of service has been very steady. He has desired to be of service on a planetary level through several lifetimes, and he will be true to this desire. For this reason, we have asked that he be the keeper of this small [inaudible]. What they have seen is a result of who they are. The fact that their vibrations [inaudible] and that they are not either one able to relax and meditate is somewhat regrettable, not because of our convenience but because there is much comfort to the spirit to be found within meditation. When one is weary [inaudible] without meditation discomfort is somewhat [inaudible].

Do we have further questions?

Questioner: What is the purpose of your [inaudible]?

Hatonn: The one who questions knows this answer. It is an advertisement. We are aware that this thought is already within your mind. An advertisement that cannot be proven but an advertisement that has increased in specificity from previous advertisements. We mentioned earlier that we are experimenting, trying new things, attempting to spread our message in each and every way that we can think of that does not revoke the unalterable law of Free Will. You are already aware of the procedure by which doubt may be maintained even though the power of the one known as Uri cannot be disproven. By the same token it cannot be identified.

Questioner: [Inaudible]

Hatonn: We seek power. We find it in your atmosphere. We do not mine or disturb the ecology of your atmosphere, but we are recharged, as it were. It may be that this landing will not occur as planned or will occur in an altered form, for we are not experiencing the degree of acceptance that we had hoped. It is possible for us to accomplish our goal at a slower rate but quite nearly invisible. This may be chosen as a better path.

Questioner: [Inaudible]

Hatonn: My friends, be of good faith. We cannot speak to you directly on this matter. Bring the wisdom that is within you, and you will discover the true answer to your question.

Are there any other questions?

[No further queries.]

My brothers, as I found you, so I leave you: surrounded by Love, made totally one by Light. I am the one known to you as Hatonn. Adonai, my friends.

This morning I went outside and watered the plants around the fishpond, and then I went across the street and put birdseed on the ground, under the bird feeders in front of my neighbor’s home. Later in the morning a friend of mind, who has been editing my book, Living the Law of One 103: The Inner Work, came by to talk with me about his suggested edits for Chapter Three and Chapter Four. Then we had lunch together and talked about various stages of our lives and spiritual journeys.

This afternoon I went outside and transplanted the twelve astilbe that I bought yesterday in the Astilbe Garden in the corner of the back yard. Then I set a sprinkler on them and the Snapdragons in the clay tile pipe pyramid.

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

June 27

The Myth Of Reality

I am the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and greet you in the consciousness of Love.

The myth of reality continues every moment, and you who experience this myth are hard put to see through it. Reality lies beneath the surface of outer things and beyond the meaning of minds and words. Reality is the province of the Spirit of Love. It is an invisible reality which can only manifest shadows of itself within the outer world.

As you seek to make your life more real, seek within in the innermost portion of your being, for in that stronghold the Spirit of Love holds full sway when given the opportunity.

Look, too, beyond the surface of the outer world into the realm of the beauty of meaning which lies behind what the senses may have you feel. For the Spirit is everywhere immanent, yet never fully disclosed unless one has the desire to see and hear reality.

We leave you in the profound peace of the reality of the consciousness of Love, 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
