I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from November 14, 1982:
(C1 channeling)
We are now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Tonight, I would like to say something about the little things that people could do. One of your holy leaders said, “Sell your goods and give it to the poor.” But there are so many little things that people could do—a smile, a handshake, a compliment, picking someone up in your car and taking them somewhere, giving your clothes or material things to someone who needs them. If every person would do the little things, it’s amazing how much better the giver and receiver would feel. You really don’t have to sell everything and give it to the poor to do a great deal of good. Have you ever thought how many times you saw something nice and didn’t say it? Or someone you love and didn’t tell them? Many times, the big things will take care of themselves. Sometimes the little things have more meaning for the person who receives them. A compliment at the right time could save a life if the person was severely depressed and felt worthless. Try to make a point of giving the little things. In proportion they will do more good than a few big gifts.
I am Hatonn, and I leave this instrument.
(Carla channeling)
I am Hatonn, and I also greet you through this instrument in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We shall continue speaking through this instrument, and we shall speak to two subjects. Firstly, the one which is called by some this evening and secondly quite a different one which is called specifically by the one known as M, and the one known as C2, and the one known as A. In fact, to this subject perhaps we shall speak first in order that we may remove from this evening all traces of that which in itself may color the contact by the pale shade of fear. We are aware that due to an unusual instance within this group in which the one known as C2 inadvertently brought very close to trance a channel of less than purely Confederation association, the concern of the group has been that the message be true. We have spoken upon this subject several times in the past, and not only we, but perhaps more helpfully those of Latwii. We shall be eager to continue speaking upon this subject until all doubts and fears are put to rest. That which is most central to confidence about positivity of the contact is the proper unification and tuning of the group. This group seeks to know the truth, seeks inspiration, and seeks to serve others. There is in each a spirit of what many would call Christ Consciousness, a desire to know the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator.
There is at this time very little desire within this present gathering to know specific events of the future, for to request specific information which would interfere with the free will which is yours. Therefore, this group is not an hospitable place for one which is not oriented towards service to others. In fact, it would indeed be very difficult for any entity to be able to contact anyone in this group. We are not saying that such entities might not be attracted to the Light which burns as a lighthouse when a group is united in prayer and seeking. It is only to say that those who have sought to be of service as channels having once tuned and then having tuned personally by prayer while awaiting contact simply do not offer an opportunity for negative contact.
We wish that we could comfort you more, but we are aware that we must leave to your own discrimination any doubts between that which is positive and negative as each of you in your own hearts may discriminate. We would not wish to have more authority than we do, for we are your brothers and your sisters—not greater that you, only those who care and thus come to you as comforters, as strengtheners, and hopefully as those who may offer some inspiration that your own life within may be somehow aided by our humble drifts. We know we have little to offer, but we are so grateful that you allow us that small [inaudible] which is ours, for we are only messengers. The Love and the Light is the Father’s. The kingdom that we all seek is His. And so, we say especially to those three named, fear not but be of good faith and good cheer. All that is yours awaits you. We would at this time return to our original consideration and focus the attention of those present on being of service.
Our friends, each of you is aware of many ways to be of service which the society in which you live also recognizes. There is hunger in the world, and it is recognized that you are of service if you attempt to feed those who have no food. There is great poverty, loneliness, and solitude unwanted and forced upon some and to those unfortunates, so-called, your culture deems it charitable to aid by a helping hand. Some political movements and social issues seem to be full of service, and so those who wish to be of service become active and this is service.
There are those great leaders whose careers are known and whose lives are great examples of service. Selfless men and women who have given all that they have to a profession, or a belief, and have spent a lifetime in creating a very visible form of service. To such people go public praise and great recognition. But let us focus now upon each here. My friends, do you know how great your opportunities for service are? There are so many things that the culture in which you live requires you to do that sometimes your sense of yourself seems to be lost, and you are in effect the one who is doing, the one functioning, the one coping—neither positively nor negatively. But let us take a step back.
In this session Hatonn wanted to speak of how we can be of service to others. They began by saying each of you is aware of many ways to be of service which the society in which you live also recognizes, for there is hunger in the world, and it is recognized that you are of service if you attempt to feed those who have no food, and there is poverty and loneliness forced upon some, and to those unfortunates your culture deems it charitable to aid by a helping hand, so some political movements and social issues seem to be full of service, and so those who wish to be of service become active, and this is service. Hatonn went on to say there are those leaders whose lives are great examples of service, and selfless men and women who have given all that they have to a profession, or a belief, and have spent a lifetime in creating a visible form of service, so to such people go public praise and recognition, but let us focus now upon each here, and you know how great your opportunities for service are because here are many things that the culture in which you live requires you to do that sometimes your sense of yourself seems to be lost, and you are the one who is functioning. On November 29, 1998, Q’uo spoke of how our difficulties can provide opportunities to be of service:
The difficulties of blending vibrations, of seeking in unity, and of recognizing the Creator in all are significant enough that there are, as you are well aware, many wars, misunderstandings, miscommunications and other difficulties that make this illusion one filled with confusion, and that which seems to be a turmoil of significant degree. This is seen as a kind of chaotic expression of energy by those awaiting incarnation. Yet it is not seen as that which deters the desire to move into the third-density illusion in this planetary influence and to experience the opportunities that await those who seek their own graduation and the graduation of those of their vibration. Rather, the difficulties that are perceived are seen as further opportunities for service as those challenges which enhance the incarnational abilities to learn the lessons of Love and to serve the Light of the one Creator. The chaotic expression of energy is seen as that which offers the opportunity to enhance one’s own expression of energy as one is able to move in harmony through the difficult times and experiences that lie ahead. For previous to incarnation, each entity is far more aware that it is a portion of the one Creator, and all those about it are the same, as are those with whom it shall spend its third-density days. Thus, the entity awaiting the incarnation sees with clearer eyes that which lies ahead and is far less liable to shy away from such difficulties but is far more likely to embrace them as the opportunities to serve and to learn.
What time have you spent this day in meditation? What time in prayer? What time in contemplation? If you have spent no time in these activities your instinctive ability to sense the needs of others will have been greatly impaired. Your instinctive sense of yourself as a being created in Love, placed in this environment here and now to offer a channeling, a witness, will be greatly impaired. Therefore, we encourage each of you to begin with that which is basic: the seeking of the original Thought. For if you do not experience truth then you are not truth, or you will have removed yourself from clarity, for the truth is within you just as the Creator is within you. Your source is within you. Your comforter awaits within you.
The doors you wish to open to the outside world of service must first be opened from the inside, for your truth awaits the opening of that door. That truth cannot come to you. You must come to it, or at least open the door to it. It takes a mere moment to mentally open the door within. It takes one gentle thought to open a universe of Love within you. And with a universe of Love within you, my friends, what service can you help but be? Then you will not miss the chance to smile, and oh, my friends, what a lovely dance a smile makes. You will not miss a chance to reach and touch those who may need it. Indeed, my friends, there are many times when you feel that you are being of no service whatever because someone is aiding you, and you feel that you are on the receiving end and cannot possibly be of service. My friends, when with a grateful heart you receive, you have greeted the Creator in manifestation.
The Hatonn said:” What time have you spent this day in meditation? What time in prayer? What time in contemplation?” Then Hatonn said if you have spent no time in these activities your instinctive ability to sense the needs of others will have been impaired, and your instinctive sense of yourself as a being created in Love, placed in this environment to offer a witness will be impaired, so we encourage each of you to begin with that which is basic: the seeking of the original Thought, for if you do not experience truth then you are not truth, and you will have removed yourself from clarity, for the truth is within you just as the Creator is within you, and your Source is within you, so your Comforter awaits within you. Hatonn continued by saying the doors you wish to open to the outside world of service must first be opened from the inside, for your truth awaits the opening of that door, but that truth cannot come to you, so you must come to it, or at least open the door to it, for it takes a moment to mentally open the door within, so it takes one gentle thought to open a universe of Love within you, and with a universe of Love within you what service can you help but be? Hatonn went on to say what a lovely dance a smile makes, so you will not miss a chance to touch those who may need it, for there are many times when you feel that you are being of no service whatever because someone is aiding you, and you feel that you are on the receiving end and cannot be of service, but when with a grateful heart you receive, you have greeted the Creator in manifestation. On May 3, 1998, Q’uo said that the universe of Love is within us:
The tools to help you with this work are several. The very first and always the central one, in our opinion, is time spent with the Creator, time being with the Creator. The eyes that see the world see a human being sitting. The heart within knows a different reality. In that world within the self is a pilgrim seeking entrance to an inner sanctum in which the Creator already dwells in full glory and strength; from before time began until there is no more time, this is so. Before you were, before the world was, before all things, the Creator rested in Its universe. And as you are part of this universe of Love so that Love incarnate dwells within you. See yourself as a pilgrim walking up to the door of that inner sanctum, inserting the key of silence, walking in and sitting, not with other human beings, however worthy they may be, but with the infinite Creator. This communion awaits you constantly. It is not that the Creator is not with you, for the Creator is your companion from the instant of your beginning until the last fell knoll of life’s bells. It is the self within incarnation that does not remember where to go to tabernacle with the infinite One. We would encourage each who wishes to move into the heart to attempt daily to sit in silence and allow the Creator within to make Itself known to you with no words, with no dramatic fanfare but that still, small voice whose message is far beyond concept, but whose surety is absolute.
And what of those times, my friends, that you do not pray, nor meditate, nor contemplate, nor even speak civilly, but rather attempt to survive because your world has become turned upside down for some reason? What of those times? May we say to you that even then you are of service, for those about you will learn by those things which you offer. They may not learn great feelings of warmth, smiles, and hugs and may instead learn toughness, and integrity, and unselfishness. You cannot help but be of service. Is that not a great lesson, my friends? Undoubtedly you wish to be of somewhat more service than we have just described. When those days occur—and in any incarnation those days will occur, if you are pursuing a path of growth—try to learn that toughness, that integrity, and that unselfishness yourself that will accept yourself. By accepting yourself as you change, as you fight and struggle to learn, you greatly speed up the process of your own learning and incidentally shorten the period of your own discomfort.
Hatonn went on to say: “What of those times that you do not pray, nor meditate, nor contemplate, nor even speak civilly, but rather attempt to survive because your world has become turned upside down for some reason? What of those times?” Then Hatonn said that even then you are of service, for those about you will learn by those things which you offer. They may not learn great feelings of warmth, smiles, and hugs and may instead learn toughness, and integrity, and unselfishness, but you cannot help but be of service, and you wish to be of more service than we have described, so when those days occur—and in any incarnation those days will occur, if you are pursuing a path of growth—try to learn that toughness, integrity, and unselfishness that will help you accept yourself, for by accepting yourself as you change and struggle to learn, you speed up the process of your learning and shorten the period of your own discomfort. On May 7, 2000, Q’uo spoke of how we can learn to accept ourself:
Within your meditative state—and this is again our recommendation for the investigation of emotion, to use meditation—look, then, to those feelings which you have, for they are valuable in themselves. They are the temperature, shall we say, of your current experience. Each may be seen as a portion of a trail, a thread, that will lead one to more fruitful finding of the value of experience. The emotions that one feels at any particular moment give one a place to begin to assess that which is occurring in the life pattern, to see the honest and spontaneous response of self to self. Then, as one is able to utilize these emotions in the balancing process one shall find their opposite occurring. Thus, if you are able to relive a situation in which a strong emotion occurs and within the meditative state to see this occurring, giving it free reign, to become as large as you can imagine, then there is the opportunity for the polar opposite emotion to arise within the meditative state so that you begin to feel another way about a certain situation, person, or event. Then allow this polar opposite emotion to get as large and as powerful as it can. When this has completed its growth and presentation to you, then accept yourself for having both of these means by which the Creator may know Itself in you, in your experience. Thus, you have taught to the Creator that which you have learned within the situation, and you have seen a fuller expression of natural emotion within your being as a means by which you know the Creator in you. Thus, you, working with every emotion that leaves its imprint upon you, are able to see the full range of your beingness, the appropriateness of each facet of emotion, the direction that each emotion points towards the heart of being, so that eventually there is but one emotion for every event, that being compassion, Love, forgiveness, mercy, understanding—all of those qualities of unconditional Love.
We greet each of you. With you we meditate. With you we praise the infinite Creator. And with you, with many thanks, we have shared a few meager thoughts. We ask [inaudible] greet and welcome the one known as [S] who has not been with this group for some time. We would, if the one known as C1 would accept it, enjoy closing this particular message through her and at this time would transfer the contact. I am Hatonn.
(C1 channeling)
I am Hatonn. Again, I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Again, may we express our great joy at being with you tonight. We have observed in some of your meditations, experiences of growth and joy. We have been aware of the Love that you send to each other. Perhaps you are not aware that in sending this Love to each other the entire group benefits and as you send out Love and Light to others that is strengthened also. What we are trying to say, my friends, is that it’s difficult for you to be aware of the strength that each of you gains from a group and from the experiences you share together. The one known as M and C1 will soon be leaving the group, and you can make their transition much easier by continuing to send Love and Light to them. May we repeat again it has been our pleasure to be with the group tonight, and we leave you now in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, knowing that you are always safe in that Love and Light, and you have but to be aware of it, and you will know for yourself that it does provide safety. I am Hatonn.
(Jim channeling)
I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We have been eagerly awaiting our opportunity to join your group this evening and to once again attempt to answer those queries which you have brought with you. May we then ask if there is a query with which we might begin?
C1: Yes. We’ve been talking about doing little things by way of serving our fellow man. Will you comment on what Jesus said when he said, “If a cup of cold water is given in my name it will not go unrewarded.” What does it mean by “given in my name”?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The one known as Jesus was the teacher whose purpose for incarnation was to teach the lesson of Love—unconditional Love for all of creation. This entity was Love, Love this entity had attained through its seeking of the one Creator. Therefore, this entity’s name could be said to be vibrating in resonance with that known as Love and compassion. Therefore, when he said that to give the cup of cold water in his name would be an action rewarded when He was in fact saying that to give even the smallest gift in Love for the one to whom it is given is not only to share Love but also to know and to be Love and to be rewarded with the knowledge of that Love.
May we answer you further my sister?
C1: Well, yes, just one little bit more about that. I am reminded of … I had charge of a service years ago in the jail speaking to the women, and one night after the service I tried to find a woman three stories up in a dark hallway that about scared me to death, but she had great need, and I took her twenty dollars and gave it to her, and I was trying to live up to that “give a cup of cold water in my name,” and I said, “I give you this in the name of Jesus.” And I felt like a fool, and she looked at me like a fool, and so I felt like I was trying to live up to the letter of the law, and yet I was doing it the best I could. That’s what I was trying to get at. Are we to say or indicate that we are doing this in the name of Jesus or do we just do it? I didn’t try that anymore, by the way.
[Laughter]
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. When one attempts to share the Love that is within the heart, open the heart without premeditation so that that Love which is within may be expressed freely and naturally if such words as you have spoken come easily to your lips, and then speak them freely. Do not worry with concerns about how you shall accompany the Love with words or actions, simply seek within the heart of your being to give freely and the words and clothing of the action shall naturally be made clear to you, or should we say through you.
May we answer you further, my sister?
C1: No that helps me to understand. I think I must have been trying to live up to the letter of the law. Thank you, I understand better.
I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: I’d just like to pursue it a little further. Of course, having just come off a Christian weekend I am probably really oriented toward this question, but it does seem to me that a lot of people are ready to hear the name of Jesus.
[Side one of tape ends.]
Carla: …equally powerful whereas there’s something to that particular vibration—Jesus—that makes a difference. Is it within me, as I in my heart believe, or is it in a name that the bulk of the power would reside?S
I am Latwii and am aware or your query, my sister. We see that the one known as C1 has once again generated within your being the seeking for similar understanding, and we greatly appreciate the combination of your efforts. To speak to your query may we suggest that it is the heart of your being which gives the force, shall we say, to any words which emanate from your lips, for the words are the attempts to clothe the great feeling of Love from your heart in understandable concepts so that the mind of another may receive the understanding which emanates from heart to heart. Yet it is also true, as you have surmised, that many within your culture especially yearn to hear the name of the master known as Jesus. For within your culture this entity is equated, correctly so, with the vibration of Love. Yet this yearning to hear the name exists not because of any name but because of what the name expresses. Speak yea then your heart, my sister, in the way which has meaning for you, for each entity’s ability to be of service to others is unique and to be fully expressed must be so in the way, which is natural, shall we say, for that entity.
Carla asked: “Of course, having just come off a Christian weekend I am probably really oriented toward this question, but it does seem to me that a lot of people are ready to hear the name of Jesus. And there’s something to that particular vibration—Jesus—that makes a difference. Is it within me, as I in my heart believe, or is it in a name that the bulk of the power would reside?” Latwii replied by saying we see that C1 has again generated within your being the seeking for similar understanding, and we appreciate the combination of your efforts, and to speak to your query we suggest that it is the heart of your being which gives the force to any words which come from your lips, for the words are attempts to clothe the great feeling of Love from your heart in understandable concepts, so that the mind of another may receive the understanding which emanates from heart to heart, yet it is also true that many within your culture yearn to hear the name of the master Jesus, for within your culture this entity is equated with the vibration of Love, but this yearning to hear the name exists, not because of any name, but because of what the name expresses, so speak from your heart in the way which has meaning for you, for each entity’s ability to be of service to others is unique and to be fully expressed must be so in the way, which is natural for that entity. On November 17, 1997, Q’uo described how Jesus was a great part of the Love of the Creator:
That entities are willing to make rooms in their hearts and in their minds for the teachings of the one known as Jesus is an helpful thing, for it is the heart of this entity’s teachings that each seeker seeks and that is Love. The one known as Jesus was steeped in the great energy of the One Creator, the creative energy which has made all things and which each entity instinctually seeks out within this third-density illusion, for even at the level of each cell in each body there is the knowledge of Love. There is the desire for Love. There is the pull towards Love. For it is well known that the one known as Jesus replaced all the laws of Moses with the two great commandments which revolved about the concept of Love: to Love the Creator with every fiber of the being and to Love the neighbor as the self. Thus, this entity has its influence to this day in a most harmonious way upon each seeker, and we would encourage each seeker who reveres the one known as Jesus to seek within the life pattern where Love rests, where Love remains, where Love may be found.
May we answer you further my sister?
Carla: No. I think that that’s really clear. Thank you.
I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: I have a query. Something that has occurred to me several times recently because I’ve been talking to people and just have these things occur to me several times. We’ve been talking to Ra off and on about polarity for some time. I noticed with the women friends that I have that are really strong friends of mine that it is almost as if we were of one body. It’s a different relationship than I have with my man friends, although no less close, simply a different feeling, and it seems to me probably, I’m guessing, to be related to our similar polarity so that consequently rather than being attracted to each other in a polarized fashion we are one identity basically in polarity and are able simply to merge. Does this reading of polarity and its effects on human relationships have any merit?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Those who seek with a like mind and heart shall attract to themselves the experiences which will blend their seeking and their being. This is basically the situation which you find yourself in. As you seek the Love and Light of the one Creator you attract to yourself those who also seek in a similar fashion so that in the larger sense you become more in unity with those who seek as you seek. To reduce this phenomenon further, those of the female gender who are together with you seeking are, with you, realizing the potential of their gender. This is a portion of your seeking. As you seek together you utilize those faculties of your being on all levels which are available to you. Some are available because you are the gender you are. To be more, shall we say, intuitive and inspirational therefore becomes a factor of unification according to gender and you do indeed become of one beingness or body as you have described it with those of your gender.
May we answer you further my sister?
Carla: Just the balancing question. I have very close male friends also and consider those relationships as close as relationships with my women friends. It is simply that I have observed that there is the potential for misuse of the polarity between two spiritual seekers who are male and female, regardless of age or attractiveness, simply that the polarity exists and because of the intense seeking on both. Consequently, that being dealt with in a mature manner, that is to say, being accepted for what it is, as polarity, as proper and appropriate, that same intimate relationship can exist between man and woman in their spiritual search. It’s simply that the polarity is there instead of the identity and after that point, we’re all capable, it seems to me, of helping each other, male or female, and it doesn’t matter. But I do think it seems that polarity is something to be dealt with simply by recognizing it and not being bemused by it or taken away from the track of mutual spiritual seeking. Is this also a fair reading of polarity, as it applies to spiritual seekers?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that you have made a quite acceptable explanation of this phenomenon. May we answer you further?
Carla: No, thanks.
I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Questioner: Yes. For the last couple of weeks—last week or the week before—I was in this general vicinity visited by a thought form of the Confederation. It’s kind of a specific question—not terribly important, but I ask it for someone who was interested, and it was on the night of a meditation.
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find in scanning the recent memory of your friend that it is necessary to refrain from the direct answer so that free will shall not be abridged. Phenomena of this variety must present a riddle, shall we say, to such participants and observers so that through the strength of their own inner seeking the answers of value might be found.
May we be of further service, my brother?
Questioner: I think your answer was the desired answer. Thanks.
I am Latwii. We thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?
C1: I have a puzzle. I normally keep my eyes closed during meditation, but I opened them to look at the sofa beside me, and no one was sitting there, and mentally I felt I was sitting on this sofa alone. Why would I get that weird impression when I know this girl is sitting here with me?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, we find that the experiences that one such as yourself observes have meaning according to the unique configuration of seeking and perception which is yours. To express in simple and clear terms those characteristics which cause you to experience one or another sensation is to give you information which we feel is best sought within your own meditative being.
May we be of further service, my sister?
C1: No. I guess someday I’ll figure it out myself.
I am Latwii. My sister, this illusion which you inhabit is full of mysteries. The one Creator is hidden in each. To find the face of the Creator is the goal which each seeks, and so shall ye find as ye seek.
Is there another query at this time?
C1: Yes, one more. I don’t want to hog this thing, but one more question. It’s certainly not profound, but it has been interesting to me. I’ve had a [inaudible] because of where I was born and raised, I guess, the experiences I’ve had in church and all, I’ve had … it’s been an obsession to me to seek what I call the truth and get rid of as much ignorance as possible. And at the risk of making a nuisance out of myself much of my life, and [inaudible] going into bookstores, I have literally found books on bookshelves I did not know existed, had no idea of knowing they were existed, but it just seemed to me that that book was just what I needed at that point in time. Was I guided to that book, or did I just stumble onto it or a … would you comment on that?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As the strength of the seeking increases each entity shall find seeming coincidences crossing the path of the seeking so that a book, a friend, a stranger, an event may lend yet one more piece to the puzzle of the mystery of being and make more sense, shall we say, out of what was confusion. When you seek you are as the magnet attracting the filings of iron. Never forget you are one with all of creation. Therefore, when you see that which you seek is a portion of yourself, and as you seek that portion of yourself, it being yourself, is aware of that seeking and shall reveal itself unto you through whatever means is understandable to you at that time, be it a book, a song, a sign in the sky, a conversation, a chance encounter. There are many, many ways by which the mystery of your being is revealed to you each moment in which you seek. Truly it has been said there are no accidents.
May we answer you further, my sister?
C1: Well, let me just summarize what I think I heard. For instance, when I would go to the bookstore and find a book, which I didn’t know existed, and I would be just tremendously inspired and just mark this book all up, you mean I found a part of me, truth with me … I found something within me … now is that what you’re saying? Or I discovered a part of me that I did not know was me. Is that what I heard?
I am Latwii, my sister, and this is correct. It might be that at that moment this was the means by which you would most clearly understand that portion of your being which you were seeking to understand. It might also be that at another moment the seeking which you were engaged in would reveal to you through meditation that which was sought. It might be as is generally the case that some experience in your life would reveal to you the general nature of that which you were seeking, so that event upon event would present itself to you, so that you might see through the power of your seeking the core of truth both in the event and in yourself which you have been seeking, and so the path of evolution of the mind, the body, and the spirit continues endlessly within your illusion. The seeking and the finding. The seeking and the finding.
May we answer you further, my sister?
C1: The seeking carries with it a certain amount of frustration and pain, but the finding is like the light or the joy that I experience then, and I don’t want to ask you to talk a long time on that. It seems that the seeking is frustrating, but the finding is very joyous, so the joy almost outweighs the seeking. Is that a pretty good evaluation of this seeking and finding and seeking and finding?
I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. So it is within your illusion that there must be the motivation for the seeking, for the effort to be made. For if you had no need to increase your understanding, how would understanding increase? Must you not then feel the pain, the frustration, of your ignorance so that this might draw you forward, shall we say, and provide the means by which your journey continues and the finding of that which was lost within your being brings the joy of the reunion and the union on the conscious level within yourself with all that is. To not be aware of that unity creates the pain of ignorance. The pain of ignorance drives one forward so that the unity might be further revealed.
May we answer you further, my sister?
C1: No, that’s fantastic. A lot of things make sense now. Thank you very much.
I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: A quick one, I hope. I’m considering, for personal reasons, changing the day of the week we hold our weekly meditations. I’m concerned that the level of my own service will be maintained. Could you comment?
I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We find some limits surrounding our potential response due to our unwillingness to infringe upon your free will, but we might suggest that when the desire of the group is focused upon the meeting, and those present desire the meditation for increasing inspiration and understanding, then it is possible to conduct such a meeting no matter the day.
May we answer you further, my sister?
Carla: No, thank you [inaudible].
I am Latwii. Is there another query at this time?
[No further queries.]
I am Latwii. As we observe the great peace and joy of the silence within this group, we feel that we have exhausted the queries for the evening. It is always our honor to be asked to join your group. We thank each of you. We remind each as well that we would be most happy to join you in your private meditations should you but request our presence. Peace be with each. We leave this group at this time rejoicing in the peace and the power of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Wherever the need is, there is fulfillment. Fulfillment exists in consciousness as individual being, and that consciousness is God. Fulfillment involves a transition in consciousness. It may require days, weeks, or months of meditation before we come to the realization that God is individual being, and that the place whereon we stand is holy ground. Never again can there be a need or desire, without its being instantly fulfilled from within, as the fulfillment of consciousness. God is our consciousness; God fulfills Itself, daily and hourly, in every form necessary. The basis of this realization is God as individual being.
Since God is individual consciousness, we can, with faithfulness, persistence, and perseverance, reach the kingdom of God within us and bring it forth into our experience, so that it takes over our entire life. The God-consciousness can fulfill Itself only in proportion as we nullify the personal sense of ‘I.’ Going to God without a single desire eliminates the ‘I’ in large measure because it is only the personal ‘I’ who could have a wish, a desire, or a will. We turn to God to receive a spiritual blessing or benediction, and no one knows what will be the nature of their particular spiritual blessing or benediction. ‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of humanity, the things which God hath prepared for them that love God. But God hath revealed them unto us by Its Spirit.’
When the Finger of God touches, It may place us in a completely different life—if that be Its destiny for us. For each of us there is a destiny; we are not all intended to engage in the same kind of activity:
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. For to one is given by the Spirit, the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to everyone severally as It will. For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.”
This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. The second stop was at Speedway Gas Station where I used their compressed air gauge to fill the two tires on the right side of Stanley. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription.
From A Book of Days, by Carla L. Rueckert:
January 27
Beyond Reason And Comfort
I am the Spirit of the consciousness of Love, the creative principle of the universe and all that is manifested within it.
To deal with words is to become involved in overstatement and understatement, both of which are unavoidable. And to seem to be rational is a situation we must endure. For the spirit of mighty Love is anything but rational. And its strength lies not in man’s ability to reason it out but in the ability of Spirit to gaze beyond the reason of man.
Thus, it will sometimes seem to you that the Spirit is a harsh and unforgiving voice and is perhaps more interested in enriching negative experience than in offering ease and comfort. Yet to be a Comforter is to seek hard times and hard decisions and then to invest such with the consciousness of Love. For it is not in comfortable times that a Comforter is needed but during the transformation of difficulty.
We ask you, then, to ask of the spirit not “Why?” but “What?” and “How?” For though we shall not be the voice of reason to you, yet shall the comfort which we do offer be more precious to the seeker than rubies and gold.
In peace we leave 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.
