The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from March 13, 1978:

(B channeling)

Hatonn: I am the one known to you as Hatonn. As always, I greet you in the love and light of our infinite Creator. My friends, I will speak to you this evening of what is known to you as understanding. For, my friends, this is indeed a very… I will continue. This is indeed a very important… This is very important in your spiritual growth, for, my friends, you must accept people for what they truly are. For, my friends… I am experiencing much difficulty with this instrument. I will transfer this contact and may return at a later time. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. We of the Confederation are speaking to you this evening of understanding. We feel that it is important that people upon planet Earth learn to understand that which occurs around them and what occurs within them. For in understanding these things, people can gain a greater insight and then they can proceed forward with understanding. And with that understanding they may weigh the outcome of their actions and therefore determine the proper avenue of action to take. But understanding, my friends, those things that you need to understand is somewhat difficult for those on planet Earth.

Consider, if you will, when all of you attended your educational processes. In the subject that you call mathematics you are often given a problem. And for that problem you must arrive at an answer. Consider, if you will, to know the answer is only a portion of solving the problem. For you must understand the problem and the means by which to derive the answer. Therefore, in this situation, knowledge and understanding are two separate factors which commune together and assist you in solving the problem before you.

So it is that people proceed through life, knowing many times the outcome of actions, but not precisely understanding the intricate workings of their actions. With proper understanding, people upon planet Earth could become the god on planet Earth. For indeed the difference between people and gods is understanding. Knowledge you have. It has been a portion of you always. Wisdom is the proper application of that knowledge. But understanding, understanding, my friends, is the knowing when to apply that wisdom. Understanding is knowing how to arrive at the answer. Understanding is the most important ingredient in the overall spiritual growth of humankind. Indeed, you may arrive at certain conclusions and they may be beneficial for you, but the benefit in most circumstances is less to you unless you have understood the workings of these actions.

We of the Confederation have applied many of your years, more than you’ve ever imagined, to just gaining understanding of the universe and the way all things function within it. And we have yet to arrive at the point of total understanding. And we feel it to be true that we shall seek greater and greater levels of understanding for eons to come as we grow within this universe. But as we have progressed in our understanding, we have seen our growth come more rapidly. For, my friends, all life within this universe is very simple, like that which you call mathematics. For all thought produces an energy wave, and an energy wave produces a certain action and a reaction. Each is able to be calculated if you have gained the understanding to monitor, shall we say, these thoughts in a way that you are aware of their conclusion.

We of the Confederation know beforehand what our thoughts and actions will bring about. We understand these things to a great degree even though we have not perfected the application of the understanding that we have gained. It is as with all things, practice is needed. People upon planet Earth need to begin to practice. They need to begin to practice the monitoring of their thought-actions. They need to begin to practice in understanding knowledge and wisdom. All of these things are greatly enhanced through the process of meditation, which is perhaps the greatest thing that you may practice in your life experience.

But people upon planet Earth presently proceeds to think, shall we say, improperly, thus accumulating greater and greater degrees of misshapen conclusions to their thoughts and actions. And they continue to wonder why. But if people develop their understanding they would know why things are as they are. For they have created them and, being the creator of their experiences, should accept the responsibility for those creations and begin to apply understanding. For understanding, my friends, is not only recognizing the functions and mechanisms of your thoughts and actions. Understanding is applying love. For in understanding your actions, you may determine whether they shed love to your fellow beings, and if they do not, then we say that your actions are improper.

For whatever you do, my friends, it does indeed affect all of humanity. Whether you see that effect going any further than your own personal experience or not, you have placed an energy into your atmosphere. An energy that will never die. An energy that will pass among many people and affect in some small way their own being. So, whether your actions be self-centered or directed towards the peoples, you must care and love one another enough to gain the understanding so that you may create for yourself and with others the environment that people upon planet Earth desire.

We understand your difficulties within your society. We understand what may seem to be your lack of knowledge. And it is this understanding that has made us capable of reaching forth to you and sharing our knowledge and our love with you. For we would react much as people upon planet Earth if we did not understand your actions and your circumstances. For it is the nature of people throughout the universe to question and to even judge that which they do not understand. So, consider, if you will, the importance of understanding. Recognize the difference between it and knowledge and wisdom. Recognize the link between the three. And look at the actions and the thoughts within your life and attempt to understand them. Attempt to see their outcome, and by seeing this you may gain a greater degree of understanding than you have now.

We of the Confederation cannot do these things for any of you. We can only share with you our thoughts, hope that you accept them, and apply them and work with them. And if they prove to be of no value to you, we suggest that you refrain from using the knowledge that we give. But we of the Confederation have used our methods for a great length of your time, and we have found them to be beneficial to us, and we know that they shall bring the same benefit to you if you apply them in your life. We of the Confederation, indeed, are not a source of ultimate truth and shall never claim to be so. We are a source of limited truth and limited understanding, ever progressing, as are people upon planet Earth. We are only to some extent more fortunate than you, for we have progressed through your present experience and into ours. Indeed, upon your level of existence understanding is somewhat different than upon ours. And it is one of the greatest keys to reaching any upper level that you would desire.

We of the Confederation look upon you and even we wonder at times why you do not see the simplicity of your difficulties. And the answer is immediately within our consciousness, for we see that people’s understanding is far behind their knowledge. And only recently, unfortunately, people’s wisdom has begun to flourish. Work on these things and you shall notice a change within yourself. We of the Confederation are pleased to be with you, and we shall always be with you whether you are aware of us or not. We watch over you. And we love each and every one of your people for we understand their situations and love the divinity within each of them.

I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn. I greet you again in love and light. Laitos is working with each of those who are in the meeting this evening. I would like to pause while this process goes on.

[Pause]

I would now like to attempt to say a few sentences through the one known as M. I am Hatonn.

(M channeling)

I am Hatonn. I would like to say…

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. I would like to thank the one known as M for picking up the ball so well. Each session gets a little easier, and we thank her for her service. We continue working with each of you, and we guarantee that it will get better as time goes on. I would like to speak a few words through the one known as G1, if she would relax.

(G1 channeling)

I am with this instrument. [Inaudible].

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am again with this instrument. I am pleased to say that Laitos has left his chair and is kicking up his heels. We are very pleased when we have good contacts. And to the one known as G1 we would express our feelings that seeking is always appreciated. We feel most grateful for her seeking of [inaudible].

We would like to work with the one known as G2. If she would relax and make herself available to our contact, we would speak a few words through her. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. It is truly a great privilege to work with each new instrument. As you begin it may seem to a new instrument that the contribution would be small, but we say to you that each accomplished instrument has gone through a prolonged period of being a new instrument, a developing instrument, an inadequate and doubting instrument. As you, as an individual, and as you all, as a group, continue, the transformations will continue, and the quality of the contact will continue to improve. It is your seeking as individuals and as a group that determines your experience. When as a race you were young and [inaudible], you understood with your physical bodies. The understanding of your heart beating, and your lungs breathing, and the stimuli to which your adrenal system reacted was your understanding. This was an unbalanced understanding.

As you climbed out of the darkness of the body, you as a race willfully entered the darkness of the mind. And now you wander as seemingly as very tiny ghosts inside a great [inaudible] computer, caught in endless tunings of switches. Understanding, my friends, is understanding of only one thing: the Love of the Creator/creation. If, as you see through the eyes of your physical bodies, you do not see the Creator, you have not yet acquired understanding. Seek it, therefore. To actively seek is to live. Those who do not seek are waiting. For what are they waiting, my friends? For the most part they are waiting for the physical death so that they may remember that they do not want to wait. You already know that you do not want to wait. You are eager for the adventure of understanding.

Hatonn had been working with new instruments and wanted to share information with them that would help them to become better instruments. They began by saying it is a privilege to work with each new instrument, and as you begin it may seem that as a new instrument that the contribution would be small, but we say to you that each accomplished instrument has gone through a prolonged period of being a new instrument, a developing instrument, an inadequate and doubting instrument, so as you continue the transformations will continue, and the quality of the contact will continue to improve because it is your seeking as individuals and as a group that determines your experience, for when as a race you were young and [inaudible], you understood with your physical bodies the beating of your heart, your lungs breathing, and the stimuli to which your adrenal system reacted was your understanding, but this was an unbalanced understanding. Hatonn went on to say that as you climbed out of the darkness of the body, you as a race entered the darkness of the mind, and now you wander as tiny ghosts inside a great [inaudible] computer, caught in endless tunings of switches, so understanding is understanding of only one thing: the Love of the Creator/creation, and if as you see through the eyes of your physical bodies, you do not see the Creator, you have not yet acquired understanding, so to actively seek is to live, and those who do not seek are waiting for the physical death so that they may remember that they do not want to wait, but you know that you do not want to wait, for you are eager for the adventure of understanding. On May 15, 1974, Hatonn described the nature of understanding:

Let us examine this concept. Understanding, my friends, is simple. It is unitary. It is not logical. It is not intellectual. It is not necessary that you understand understanding. It is not necessary that anyone around you understand what you are understanding.

It is necessary only for you to seek the understanding of the true creation within, and this we will attempt to give you in a simple way. With the intellect and with words, my friends, we can only approximate understanding to you. And your attempts to examine it on an intellectual level can only be a type of subterfuge, camouflage, and misdirection. You must not depend upon the tools of the physical illusion in order to build for yourself your bridge to eternity, for that which is of the illusion will vanish and be no more before you are able to cross that bridge.

Let go of the preconceptions which are embedded deep in your intellectual mind. Allow yourself simply to seek, and then to have faith in the seeking. What you seek is simple. The creation is simple. There is only one understanding which we can offer you, my friends, and that is that the creation is one great Being. The creation is you; the creation is me; the creation is all that ever was and ever will be. The creation, my friends, is the Creator. As you look into the eyes of another upon your planet, you are looking at the Creator. As It looks at you, my friends, It also is looking at the Creator.

If you may achieve this simple understanding, then and only then you may live in harmony with the understanding of the Creator, Who created each portion of the creation in order that it may be of service to every other portion of the creation.

At this time, I would open the meeting to questions.

G1 [Inaudible].

Hatonn: We are aware of the question. We will attempt to answer through this instrument. Your understanding, shall we say, is consciously of a physical nature. As you well know, in addition to the physical universe there dwell within your planetary spheres finer dimensions which possess their reality and are peopled with their own characters. In the dimension which is called by some of your peoples the lower astral planes, there dwell but these same people but are called thought forms. These thought forms are what you may call archetypes. They include your whole array of demons and monsters, if you will, your myths, your so-called Big Foot, and vampire, and werewolf and all the fantastic array of bestial characters having been created by the archetypical imaginations of your peoples dwell as thoughts forms and they come into your reality because of the excessive and pointed emotions. The place that such entities will appear is dependent on a seemingly random energy pattern and is, in effect, not random. To explain it to you would be far too complex for easy transmission. For the energies of the planet, the race, and what you call your nations and states and cities, your individuals, all must be taken into account.

Let us say that those sightings are terrestrial rather than unearthly in origin. The incident of which you speak, being a tragedy as it was, began to be known to the subconscious awareness of many people before it occurred, just as many people in many situations are aware of tragedies before they occur. Fear of such events actually hastens their eventuality, unless that fear is resolved in a positive way as [inaudible]. The more who were aware of the tragedy, the more certain it was to occur. This is due to the fact that events occur on the so-called inner planes at an advanced time/space nexus to their appearance on the denser physical plane.

G1’s question may be about the astral planes of our planet and the types of lifeforms that are found there. Hatonn began by saying your understanding is of a physical nature, and as you know, in addition to the physical universe there dwell within your planet finer dimensions which have their own reality and are peopled with their own characters, and in the lower astral planes there dwell thought forms or what you may call archetypes, and they include a whole array of demons and monsters, your myths, Big Foot, vampires, werewolves, and all the fantastic array of bestial characters, having been created by the archetypical imaginations of your people, who dwell as thought forms, and they come into your reality because of excessive emotions, and the place that such entities will appear is dependent on a seemingly random energy pattern which is not random, but to explain it to you would be too complex for easy transmission, for the energies of the planet, the race, and what you call nations, states, cities, and your individuals, all must be taken into account. Hatonn continued by saying those sightings are terrestrial rather than unearthly in origin, and the incident of which you speak, being a tragedy as it was, began to be known to the subconscious awareness of many people before it occurred, just as many people in many situations are aware of tragedies before they occur, so the fear of such events hastens their happening, unless that fear is resolved in a positive way as [inaudible], for the more who were aware of the tragedy, the more certain it was to occur, and this is due to the fact that events occur on the inner planes at an advanced time/space nexus to their appearance on the denser physical plane. On December 16, 1979, Hatonn spoke of the nature of the inner planes:

The inner plane theory of your people is very old. It is as old as the pyramid,s and it was a gift to your people by the Confederation from many, many thousands of years ago. The pyramids themselves were used in penetrating into the inner planes of existence. A very simple analogy which this instrument has frequently used is that of the television set. You have at this moment, within your domicile, a television set although it is potentially able to show you a world, it is not doing so now because it has not been activated. This instrument or anyone in the room might activate it, and they might choose a channel of existence of which they enjoy the view. They will see one world on one channel, another world on the next, and so on, each channel seemingly coming from the same television set, but each world becoming completely different and completely oblivious to all the other worlds.

So, it is with the inner planes. You and all of those things in your world are energy fields and you have energies and certain vibrations that belong to the third octave of existence. There are also other octaves of existence within your octave of existence. There are seven levels, and some of these levels are not visible, just as one channel would not be visible to another. The skill and art of penetrating into the inner planes is a hidden art. It is hidden for a reason. Each of you is here to learn the lessons of Love, and as you penetrate into the inner planes, the lessons of Love become very obvious and thus your existence here becomes quite changed.

Does this answer your question?

G1 [Inaudible].

Hatonn: We are grateful for the opportunity. Is there another question?

[Pause]

If not, I will close through the one known as B. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am now with this instrument. My friends, I will leave you after a very few words, for we realize that you are all tired. My friends, go forth at each day with that that is known to you as love in your love, in your heart, in your mind. My friends, always remember, as you well know, that all is Love. My friends, when you dwell within your physical realm you indeed dwell within the energy that is known to you as Love. My friends, as you allow your intellect to, shall we say, rule your existence, my friends, you yourself cut off that flow of energy which is known as Love from yourself. My friends, do not allow this to happen, for it is truly of your own making. My friends, remember, study the thing known to you as Love. Treat all that you meet and, my friends, that is to say, those of which you do not already know. For, my friends, they are a concept of our Creator Who created us all.

My friends, it has been a great honor to be with you this evening and share with you in your meditation. I leave you now in the love and light. I and my brothers thank you. I leave you now. I am Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I had a phone call with a friend of mine who has been living a difficult life with her husband who has no respect for her or her needs. She has been having good days from time to time, and then bad days like today. So, she appreciated my just listening to her problems and making occasional comments and asking questions.

This afternoon I heard from my cousin in Ogallala, Nebraska that my aunt Margaret passed into larger life this morning. She said that she would let me know when the funeral was, so I will be flying back to Denver, then to Kearney, Nebraska, and then renting a car to drive to Ogallala for the funeral. Margaret was my favorite aunt. For years she was a teacher and taught in a one-room school with grades from kindergarten to twelfth grade. And she was also the last one-room schoolteacher in the United States. She and her husband and my cousin loved rodeos. Gordon was a calf roper, and my cousin was a barrel racer. Margaret kept the score for all of the events. All of her children, grandchildren, friends, and I will miss her, but I know that she is in her true home beyond the veil of forgetting where she can see that we are all co-Creators helping the Creator to know Itself better.

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

August 13

Earth May Heal Itself

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

Amidst the rampaging of the Earth, I come to you, the Spirit of perfect Love.

Against the storming of your people, I, the Spirit of peace and understanding, greet you.

Against the folly of so many who eagerly seek to destroy the creation of the Father, I come with healing in my wings.

This day, turn your attention from these spoilers who ruin the Earth faster than the Earth may heal itself and gaze, in everywhere possible, at the beauties of the creation about you. Think upon your ways. Gaze upon the beauty that still remains and pray for guidance, that all things may be loved as the Father loves you.

We leave you in that Love and that 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. The Hatonn quote was from March 11, 1978:

(Carla channeling)

[The first part of the tape is inaudible.]

Hatonn: [I am Hatonn.]… A story from the Buddhist… is known to this instrument, which emphasizes this truth. In the story, a wise old man is accused of fathering a child. And when the mother…

We are not denying in any way that each personality incarnates into the illusion with one primary, as Carla would say, program. This program is general and can be applied in various ways. If some ways are blocked, it may or may not be possible to fulfill the program as originally intended. However, it is a frequent thing that those who plan ahead find their plans… This is true, shall we say, of the soul in an infinite sense, as well as it is true that the personality is… The ultimate program for any individual… is completely achievable… For that goal is simple: it is to be aware of the original Thought, to be aware of Love. Whether the actions that are part of, shall we say, the karmic programming, are taking place as planned… the primary goal of expressing the original Thought is always… each individual is free the whole time. Many times it seems there are circumstances that are far less than…

An important thing to understand about the interfacing between the ultimate program and realizing Love and the action program for one personality in one life experience is this. If the individual continually grounds himself in the original Thought, a condition is thereby prepared for an interface between Love and proper action. We have said to you many times, meditate. Meditate and… Do not doubt, distrust or cease in your desire to be of service. As you meditate, allow that desire to keep the vibration, the antennae let us say, of your senses on the finer planes… You have felt that you are in the wilderness, and yet it is precisely in the wilderness that you must be alone, for you have the challenge of being aware of that which is paradise totally within yourself rather than being in the position of dwelling in paradise and attempting to remember the wilderness. We say to you the experience of wilderness is extremely important to growth of what you would call your soul.

In this session Hatonn began by speaking of our pre-incarnative program. They began by saying  they are not denying how each personality incarnates into the illusion with one primary, as Carla would say, program, so this program is general and can be applied in various ways, but if some ways are blocked, it may or may not be possible to fulfill the program as originally intended, and it is often that those who plan ahead find their plans change, and this is true of the soul in an infinite sense, as well as it is true that the personality is, for the ultimate program for any individual is achievable because that goal is simple: it is to be aware of the original Thought of Love, for whether the actions that are part of the karmic programming, are taking place as planned, the primary goal of expressing the original Thought is always… each individual is free the whole time, so many times it seems there are circumstances that are far less than were planned. Hatonn continued by saying an important thing to understand about the interfacing between the ultimate program and realizing Love and the action program for one personality in one life experience is if the individual continually grounds themself in the original Thought, a condition is prepared for an interface between Love and proper action, so Hatonn has said to us many times to meditate, and do not doubt or cease in our desire to be of service, and as we meditate allow our desire to keep the vibration of our senses on the finer planes, for we have felt that we are in the wilderness, and yet it is in the wilderness that we must be alone, for we have the challenge of being aware of that which is paradise within ourself rather than being in the position of dwelling in paradise and attempting to remember the wilderness, for the experience of wilderness is important to the growth of what we would call our soul. On October 30, 1988, Q’uo spoke of the value of our being in the wilderness:

There is oftentimes the need for what you have called the desert experience, in order that the finest qualities of the being be enhanced and refined by the trials of the isolation and the testing of the resolve to exercise the will and the faith that are the rod and staff of the seeker. The conscious mind, in such instances, which asks for the assurance in an understandable manner that the self is not alone or that the experience has such and such a purpose, are oftentimes the crying in the wilderness which must be accepted, but if the initiation and the testing is to be successfully completed, must be endured rather than catered to, shall we say.

The process of the evolution of mind, body, and spirit within your illusion, your illusion having such great mystery, is one which is, as the progress is accelerated, oftentimes difficult in nature. But, as we are aware that those in this group have heard it said, happiness and contentment are not the goals. The enhancing of the quality of compassion and the offering of its fruits are more to the heart of the purpose, from our point of view. Thus, there is much of difficulty that must simply be endured, and must be allowed to work its unseen function over a period of what you would call time, in order that the deeper qualities of the being which will survive such storms and tempests might be reinforced, and, indeed, brought to the fore in order that the evolutionary progress of the seeker will find its greatest expression within the life pattern.

As the immortal soul plunges into a cycle of experience such as you have committed yourself to in this density, the darkness of not remembering the Creator’s Thought and all… All senses are stilled. Slowly the wisdom, kept like a seed within the soul, begins to put forth tiny sprouts and through many life experiences those sprouts are encouraged to grow. In many situations, where there is ease within a life experience, choices are not made on the part of the individual because in paradise the individual grows complacent and does not evaluate all things in the belief of the original Thought. Inconsistency, impurity of motive, causes an interruption in the vibratory pattern of growth. And that particular incarnation serves only as a resting point between other more beneficial incarnations.

We do not ask you or any individual to truly rejoice in feelings of desolation, in feelings of getting off the track, shall we say. And yet we say to you that with enough determination, that wandering in the wilderness can one day herald that which is described in your holy works as the voice of God crying in the wilderness to make straight the way of the Creator. When you are struggling to understand, the struggling may seem to go on interminably. But then, suddenly the rocky places are made smooth, the mountains are made land. In your outer life it is possible nothing might have happened to cause this breakthrough. It is your inner Light that counts.

Hatonn went on to say as the immortal soul plunges into a cycle of experience such as we have committed ourself to in this density, the darkness of not remembering the Creator’s Thought and all senses are stilled, and slowly the wisdom, kept like a seed within our soul, begins to put forth tiny sprouts and through many life experiences these sprouts are encouraged to grow, so in many situations, where there is ease within a life experience, choices are not made on the part of the individual because in paradise the individual grows complacent and does not evaluate all things in the belief of the original Thought because inconsistency causes an interruption in the vibratory pattern of growth, and the incarnation serves only as a resting point between other more beneficial incarnations. Then Hatonn said they do not ask us or any individual to rejoice in feelings of desolation, yet they say to us that with enough determination that wandering in the wilderness can one day bring the voice of God crying in the wilderness to make straight the way of the Creator, so when we are struggling to understand, the struggling may seem to go forever, but suddenly the rocky places are made smooth, and in our outer life it is possible and nothing might have happened to cause this breakthrough, for it is our inner Light that counts. On May 21, 1995, Q’uo described how our inner Light may be enhanced:

As the sands of the sea, as the stars in your sky, just so infinite are the shining spirits which are embodied within this creation who turn their glowing faces toward the Creator in praise and thanksgiving. At this time many, many of those not incarnate in physical vehicles flock within the inner planes of your globe. To those who ask for help they flock by the millions to offer their candle power to heighten the inner Light of those in need. Yours is third density. Ask for help and help will be given you. Reach out the hand and it will be full of invisible but real Love. You are loved, not because you have achieved but because you exist, a child of the infinite Creator. You are enfolded, snuggled, by invisible nurturing arms. Every cell of your body is perfect. Your truth is that all is perfect. There is no striving necessary, for all is well.

This is why we say that you are free. It is your thought, your choice, your understanding. Trust that understanding. And we ask you again, do not fear the wilderness. Do not fear sorrow, desolation, lack of understanding… All of these things mean nothing. Only one thing matters: that is that you continually seek the original Thought. You cannot re-choose what is past. You can choose this moment at all times; to become totally conscious of the moment, to see Love, to seek the Creator. These are inner things. They may not ever be brought into action on the dramatic plane. Some paths are dramatic; some are not. And this is true with all individuals. Those who have dramatic incarnations are those who have chosen a multitude of times; those who do not are those also who have chosen. There is no predetermining. There is only one choice, my friends. The Creator is everywhere, within each choice.

We speak to the one known as Carla also, for she has had many doubts lately as to the validity of her health in this incarnation. The Creator offers to those who wish to serve the wilderness. Those who serve will be forever seeking that which is. My friends, you know there is great joy in the seeking. There is joy in fellowship. And there is joy even when totally isolated from your friends. In fellowship seek out the joy of yourself and the Creator. Love is within you. Joy is within you. And the wilderness is within you. Step forward fearlessly. Paradise is also within you.

I would like at this time to open this meeting to questions.

Then Hatonn said this is why they say that we are free, and it is our thought and our understanding, so trust that understanding, and do not fear the wilderness, sorrow, or lack of understanding, for all of these things mean nothing, and only one thing matters: that we continually seek the original Thought since we cannot re-choose what is past, but we can choose this moment to become conscious of the moment, to see Love and to seek the Creator, for these are inner things, and they may never be brought into action on the dramatic plane because some paths are dramatic, and some are not, and this is true with all individuals, so those who have dramatic incarnations are those who have chosen a multitude of times, and those who do not are those also who have chosen, for there is no predetermining since there is only one choice, for the Creator is everywhere, within each choice. Now Hatonn said they speak to Carla also, for she has had many doubts as to the validity of her health in this incarnation, so the Creator offers to those who wish to serve the wilderness who will be forever seeking that which is, for we know there is great joy in the seeking and in fellowship, and there is joy even when we are isolated from our friends, so in fellowship we can seek out the joy of ourself and the Creator, for Love and joy and the wilderness are within us, so step forward fearlessly because paradise is also within us. On July 12, 1981, Hatonn said that we should seek the original Thought:

What a wonderful treasure room is locked within you. There is no limitation and no difficulty that can remove the key to that treasure room from your hand. Feel merry then, my friends, and with utmost gladness seek the original Thought, that fire that blew upon creation and formed the planets in their courses, the suns in all their brilliance, the galaxies in their splendor, and your tiny, delicate, island home, your Earth. You are inheritors of the splendor of creation. And as you channel that Love and that Light, you are co-creators with it. Be of good cheer. Understood or reviled, if your work is as it should be within your heart, there is nothing that can truly sway you to the quick, for you are covered in Light.

S: I would like to know about my dreams I have been having. Can you shed any light on them?… Is there anything I should be afraid of?

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: I am aware of your question. You are one who is sensitive to the emanations of finer vibrations. This is not obvious to you in the waking state. However, in your, shall we say, immortal soul you are very advanced in study upon the inner planes and in other incarnations have spent most of your time in these states. In short, this is the essence of your experience. However, you are experiencing difficulty due to an incomplete, or shall we say,… of the proper methods for achieving these altered states. Therefore, when you are as consciousness moving into them, you are bypassing certain, shall we say, guardians and attempting to go directly into a more advanced vibration. It is somewhat akin to attempting to walk through the walls of a house rather than go through the door. In order to work on this, it would perhaps be helpful for you to, in a conscious state, after surrounding yourself with white Light and praying to the Creator for guidance, and then attempt to project through a carefully straight line.

We are not suggesting of projecting bodily consciousness, but only projecting the thought of a straight line. There are various colors and images which should gradually come to you. And it would perhaps be well to keep notes of what you see. In this way you may perhaps by, shall we say, self-hypnosis methods, recall consciously a piece, a door, shall we say, into higher vibrations.

Does this answer your question?

S: I’m not sure.

Hatonn: We are aware of your problem. It is for this reason that we spoke to you of colors and images. You are, as are most who dwell in the dimension of Earth, not sensitive to specific visual counterparts of finer plane beings. In other words, most of those upon your planet do not perceive spirit guides and ghosts. If you were to fall completely into a state of sleep, as you call it, then you would then be totally able in your well-collected spiritual essence to contact the guides, to speak to the proper guardians of each plane. And to do all that is necessary to ensure proper passage for lessons.

However, in the conscious, or semiconscious state you will have difficulty identifying as being guardian and your own guide. However, you will see them as images or colors. But when you are seeing these things, even faintly, you have indeed fastened into your own symbols for the reality within. You are not seeing the reality, you are seeing the symbolic representation, in simple translation of a more complex reality. However, to focus on a color or an image is the same in consciousness as to focus on your guide or the guardian of a plane. Therefore, as long as you are protected by prayer and visualization of white Light, and as long as you do not work in this endeavor for long periods of time and thereby become weary, this endeavor will be without danger to you. Among other things, it may give you more confidence in your ability to sense psychically that which cannot be expressed…

Then Hatonn said they are aware of our problem, and it is for this reason that they spoke to us of colors and images, for we are as most on Earth, not sensitive to visual counterparts of finer plane beings, so most of those upon our planet do not perceive spirit guides and ghosts, and if we were to fall into a state of sleep we would be able in our spiritual essence to speak to the proper guardians of each plane and to do all that is necessary to ensure proper passage for lessons. Haton went on to say that in the conscious, or semiconscious state, we will have difficulty identifying a being as our guardian or guide, so we will see them as images or colors, but when we are seeing these things we have fastened into our symbols for the reality within, we are seeing the symbolic representation in a simple translation of a more complex reality, so to focus on a color or an image is the same in consciousness as to focus on our guide or guardian of a plane, and as we are protected by prayer and visualization of white Light, and as long as we do not work in this endeavor for long periods of time, this endeavor will be without danger to us, and it may give us more confidence in our ability to sense psychically that which cannot be expressed…On January 15, 1989, Latwii spoke of the nature of our guardian:

Each portion of what you have spoken is in some degree correct. It is true for each within your illusion that the first guide or guardian is a portion of the self which has been called by many names, some of which are the “higher self,” the “oversoul,” or “that which overshadows the small self” within the incarnation. This is a portion of the self that is far more clearly a part of the creation and the Creator and which exists at what you would call a higher level of vibration, having, shall we say, the overview or the road map which describes the territory which shall be covered, but which does not guide to the point of overriding the free will of the entity, but with the cooperation of the entity within the incarnation plans before the incarnation the general nature of the journey which shall be experienced, and during the incarnation may, with the assistance of others, provide the entity within the incarnation the opportunities, the stimuli, shall we say, that will remind it of that which it has come to accomplish. Many times, there is the meeting with just the right person at just the right time or the presentation of the appropriate book or program on your television or on any system of instruction which leads the entity in a manner which will allow it to travel as it has wished to travel and to learn that which it has wished to learn.

S: The last dream that I had… And I was just trying to let it come over me so that I could understand it better. And then I heard a voice saying to get out of it. Was I in danger then? Should I continue to get out of it, or am I in danger if I dream? I’m afraid to let it come back over me. I feel that there is danger there. How am I to handle future instances in between my trying to open the door, instead of walking through the wall, as you say?

Hatonn: I am aware of your question. You were not in danger from outside influences at the time of which you speak. The voice was the voice of your fear on a level of being which was not able to see the inner planes and felt the leaving… For it is indeed true that were a spirit to completely leave without any trace the physical body, death would occur. However, the spirit would never do so. However, the answer to blackness is always Light. It is perhaps asking a great deal of one who seeks to become immediately conscious of behavior within a dream, or what is called a dream in your terminology. Thus, if in your dream you have spoken and requested that your guides move you to the proper orientation for permission of the guardians to enter the desired plane, and if you had asked this in the name of the Creator, the obstacle would have been removed, and your quest would have been successful. As it was, you did very well to remove yourself from that state of fear.

The important thing to remember is that to call upon the name of the Creator is to orient oneself in a manner of protection. It is not particularly desirable for any individual to proceed faster than the pace that seems most promising. Therefore, it is not necessary that you set yourself the goal of overcoming this obstacle [inaudible]. However, we reassure all those who seek that there are no terrors of the deep, shall we say, that cannot be countered by constant repetition of that which is divine. In unity let there be no separation. While this is not a difficult concept, it is only when it is fused with determination and vigor, and shall we say, an emotional emphasis, that it achieves its proper function.

S asked: “The last dream that I had… And I was just trying to let it come over me so that I could understand it better. And then I heard a voice saying to get out of it. Was I in danger then? Should I continue to get out of it, or am I in danger if I dream? I’m afraid to let it come back over me. I feel that there is danger there. How am I to handle future instances in between my trying to open the door, instead of walking through the wall, as you say?” Now Hatonn said you were not in danger from outside influences at the time of which you speak, for the voice was the voice of your fear on a level of being which was not able to see the inner planes and felt the leaving… , for it is true that were a spirit to leave without any trace the physical body, death would occur, but the spirit would never do so because the answer to blackness is always Light, and it is asking a great deal of one who seeks to become conscious of behavior within a dream, so if in your dream you have requested that your guides move you to the proper orientation for permission of the guardians to enter the desired plane, and if you had asked this in the name of the Creator, the obstacle would have been removed, and your quest would have been successful, so as it was, you did very well to remove yourself from that state of fear. Hatonn continued by saying that the important thing to remember is that to call upon the name of the Creator is to orient oneself in a manner of protection, so it is not desirable for any individual to proceed faster than the pace that seems most promising, for it is not necessary that you set yourself the goal of overcoming this obstacle, but we reassure all those who seek that there are no terrors of the deep that cannot be countered by constant repetition of that which is divine, so in unity let there be no separation, and while this is not a difficult concept, it is only when it is fused with determination that it achieves its proper function. On January 2, 2016, Q’uo described how we need to focus on our spiritual journey in a way that avoids negative outside influences:

So, you see, this explains much of the situation in which you find yourself within cultures, religions, economic systems and nation-states which are formed around concepts which are not usually related to the spiritual journey. Even those paths that seem on the outside to have a religious context have, in many cases, allowed the outside influences of those who are not seeking the Creator or seeking to serve others as the Creator, to confuse and distract the purpose, even of a religious journey.

Does this help?

S: Yes. I guess I’m still a little leery about the whole situation, because, one, when I first know that the dream is coming on, I immediately ask for Light in the infinite Creator to be with me, and yet the effects of what the dream is, the environment that is around me even with my trying desperately to hang onto the light, is so… I feel like I’m being held over a pit. I don’t know how or what more I can do to reassure myself to get over it without the constant fight that I have. I have to do it. I mean, if I am already asking the infinite Creator and I’ve already pictured Light around me, and yet the dream is still there and I am still struggling so with the darkness, and the fear is still there, then that is why I’m [inaudible] when I wanted, when I asked [inaudible] to understand it.

I thought that was the last thing that I could reach for was to understand it [inaudible]. I felt that I had almost lost myself. So, even though your words are encouraging, I dread experiencing another dream like that just to prove that what you say is true. Because I feel like I’ve already done what you have said. Because that is how I do react to a frightening situation. I immediately call on the infinite Creator, because I know [inaudible]. So, although I am eager to move on from this and find about these other planes, and this is something that I would really like to do, only the process is so overwhelming. I’m not sure if I understand exactly… Okay, if I sat down consciously and tried to picture the line and the door and asked for guidance through it, then would that… If I do that tomorrow, could I be assured that I won’t have one of these dreams tomorrow night?

Hatonn: I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. As we earlier said, it is not desirable that you [inaudible]. It is desirable that you do seek as, shall I say, you are comfortable. We suggest that as this is [inaudible] as you call it, you arrange to study what we have said at length. The matter of fear is greatly limited to those who endure it and when the one who does not fear calls upon the Creator with intense emotion, it is a different experience from one who fears and seeks for a straw to hold onto. It is a matter of becoming what this instrument would call a magical personality. And this is indeed what you are [inaudible] learning to do within the strengthening framework of your personal daily life.

Instead of repeating ourselves, we will simply allow you to say what we would say. By all means, do not plunge into fear in order to rid yourself of fear. Instead, do what seems good and beautiful and true; you are aware that you can break this chain of events and continue to do so until you feel good about following that [inaudible]. It is a relatively unimportant part of your understanding. As we have said, you are extremely well developed in this area in an unlimited sense, and it is a matter of remembering rather than learning within this limited life experience that you are dealing with. Therefore, it is not [inaudible].

Is there another question?

S: Yes. When Carla, B, and I were being regressed, I always wondered what your thoughts were about our experience, or what we said our past life was on another planet, and what we are doing here. Just recently I’ve had a lot of doubts about my previous training and [inaudible] at least I thought I was being trained for service here.

Hatonn: I am with the instrument. I am aware of your question. It is a question that I cannot answer directly. We are supportive of all those who seek [inaudible]. We are supportive of those things which they do to attempt to understand their place in the creation, and their methods of following the path of the Creator. Each individual must put together their own puzzle. When the one known as Carla, and the one known as B, and the one known as S discovered a bit more of

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

…in the light of the larger perspective and service to humanity.

It is important that you understand that each of you has had many, many more experiences than you have discovered and [inaudible] session many, many incarnations, some of which seemed to be not useful. As we said earlier, in each incarnation there is the possibility for the kind of dramatic service that puts one in the public eye as one who serves the Creator. And in many incarnations each individual does not choose that but chooses instead a path of less visibility and more inner work. This is according to the need of that incarnation, that particular moment in eternity, if you will. These incarnations are not clearly perceived and can be missed. An incarnation can be largely of work in the inner planes and partially of work in the public eye. It is dependent upon the desire of the individual. Again, we ask you to go back and study that we have said to you [inaudible] this evening.

What we have said this evening is not simple. It is an advanced message far harder and far less delightful than an introductory message. It is a message that we could only give to a dedicated seeker. We wish you much light in your pursuit of what you had to say.

Is there another question?

[Pause]

Perhaps you wish to cease at this time. It is, my friends, as though the creation were water. What will you do, my friends? Will you simply be a sponge and soak up the creation and squeeze it out unchanged, untouched? Or will you accept the water as does the earth, filtering, giving minerals, giving taste to the creation, the very essence of your creation, mixing [inaudible] so that life carves in you its channels and you give to life your [inaudible]. You are aware that pure water has no taste, [inaudible]. Do not fear becoming intimate in life as you [inaudible].

I leave you in all the love of the creation and all the light of the creation. I am your brother. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I drove my Subaru, Stanley, to Bachman Subaru and asked them if they could fix the alternator on Stanley. They said that they thought that they could, so I attempted to get a rental car to drive home in from Enterprise Rental Car. I was told that a rental car would not be available until tomorrow at 10 am, so one of the shuttle drivers drove me home. When I got home I continued the watering of my flower gardens that I began last night.

This afternoon I continued watering of the flower gardens in the front of my home.

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

August 12

The Universality Of Suffering

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

You have pain in your heart. Is that so remarkable? It is given to each to suffer pain and, through suffering, to learn and grow.

The Spirit of Love wishes most greatly to comfort and relieve the heart’s suffering and asks you to gaze about at each person with whom you come in contact. Open the windows of the heart and be vulnerable before the pain of each other person and so see the universality of suffering. Then turn your hearts to the great fruits of suffering: compassion and joy.

For do you not see entities, day after day, sacrificing their concerns for the needs of others: mothers and fathers for their children, friends for friends, and, in the heart which has grown sweet with compassion, stranger for stranger?

The spirit sees the whole without boundaries of geography or personality. You dwell in boundaries and limits. Yet by seeing the pain of another soul, so you may see that your lot is not unlucky. Then open yourself to the healing movement of the Spirit of Love within which answers the call of the pain of others. And join in that harmony of compassion that forms a net of Love about your beautiful planet amongst all people.

We leave you in the peace of true wholeness, both 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 November 9, 1977:

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. It is as always our privilege to be with you. And this evening it is pleasing to see so many. We of the Confederation attempt so often to communicate in many forms with your people, and time and time again, we find that our attempts are in somewhat what you would call, a fruitful [inaudible] and then there are other times when we find no ears to listen. And it joys us, and it gladdens us to know that you wish to listen and to know that above that, you seek the truth, the truth upon which all things are founded. You seek the truth in order that you might understand not only your environment, but your own inner being. My friends, we say to you that if you do not know yourself and of your abilities, then you shall remain in ignorance until you do so. You may attempt in many ways to gain intellectual knowledge. You can earn many degrees, as you would call it. You may be accepted by the greater peers of your society; you may be recognized as what you may term a genius; but yet we say, you remain in ignorance in spite of all these things if you know not yourself.

We of the Confederation have attempted to tell your people throughout many, many of your years the importance of this simple knowledge of the inner being that sustains and ordains your existence. We of the Confederation have mentioned to our contacts, time and time again, the method which we feel most beneficial by which to gain this knowledge of self and of the universe. And as you are aware, that method is what we term as meditation. Meditation, my friends, brings us the key to the universe. It is the key to the inner being that you are. It is the key to the door of the Creator’s house. It is the key to the door of all truth and understanding.

Meditation is the silence which is spoken of so often within the holy works that your people recognize upon this planet called Earth. My friends, the silence that you enter into is a silence which may at time seem to be vast and at other times to be very minute. And this is as it should be, my friends, for within the universe, all things are both infinitely small and infinitely large. For every expansion there is that opposite, contraction; for every thing there is balance. And balance, my friends, can only be achieved by the experience of both sides of what we may call the scale. The scale of positive or negative, if you so desire. Within your meditations you may find that balance. For it shall provide you with the understanding of your experiences, whether they be of the positive or negative nature. They are to be understood, for without the understanding of that which you experience, the lessons have been overlooked; the lessons have passed you by.

Very often, as people upon planet Earth proceed through their daily chores and activities, they become, shall we say, unknowledgeable of that which occurs around them, for their attention is focused in one area and their closest sensitivities in order that they may concentrate upon the performance of their duties. We say that as you go through these duties of life, concentrate if you must, in order that you do the best that you may do, but allow your sensitivities to remain in complete function, so that you may absorb the entire experience that you encounter. And as you absorb these experiences they shall register within your memory banks, there to be held in order that you may learn to understand and call upon that understanding in what you would call your future.

People upon planet Earth are what you would consider to be the highest form of intelligence within the universe, if only they would recognize this ability. We of the Confederation have lived through your experiences. We have grown through similar experiences. And through our growth we have learned the simplicity and the magnificence of your race. For we, too, are of your race. There are some basic differences, for we have progressed the same as you and we have possessed the same forms as you. People upon planet Earth are residing upon a testing ground of spiritual awareness; testing grounds in which they may grow and gain all of the knowledge necessary in order to expand into the universe and spread the love and the light, the truth and the understanding of our Creator.

It is indeed, shall we say, your opportunity and obligation as inhabitants of planet Earth to become the teachers and the servants of your fellow beings within this area of space in which you reside. There is around and about you, throughout your system, intelligent life; some with greater understanding than what you possess on planet Earth and some with less understanding. But in no other civilization, within your confines of space, is there the magnitude of possibility for progression that you may experience on planet Earth. You have not been chosen idly to abide upon this planet. You have progressed throughout the evolutionary scales, throughout thousands and thousands of what you would call years, and you have earned the opportunity to reside upon this particular planet, to fulfill your own particular purpose in this creation.

If people upon planet Earth were truly aware of the number of individuals, as you would consider them, throughout the universe, that would desire inhabitation upon this planet then they would begin to realize in greater detail the importance of their existence, and the special importance of this period of time and experience upon this particular planet. There is throughout the universe a structure, which we will simply call a hierarchy. They oversee your activities, they evaluate your progression, and they do many things for you to enable you to obtain the experiences that you have earned and are necessary for your growth.

You are constantly, what you might call, monitored by this hierarchy. They pass not judgment on you, but they watch with great concern your activities. For they are aware of your purpose, and they are awaiting its fulfillment with great patience and compassion for their fellow beings upon planet Earth. They in turn send forth to you emissaries of truth and knowledge and understanding and Love. We, my friends, are those emissaries. Yet, we claim not to be of any greater value than people upon planet Earth. For, my friends, we could not bring these truths to you if it were not for your presence. We could not serve you if you did not inhabit this place in time. So, we are grateful that you have come to listen. For expressing your desire to listen to our words, you have given us the only means of fulfillment of our purpose at this point in time in this universe.

We are always grateful to you, we shall always love and respect each and every one of you, and we shall always be here to help. Whenever it is desired, this is our purpose, to assist you in the awakening of your inner self. Once this awakening has been achieved, then no longer shall you need our assistance. For you shall be with us, perhaps not in physical form but in what you would term “spiritual essence.” Earth, my friends, is the training grounds for what your mythology has termed as “gods.” This has been expressed through other instruments, and it is indeed the truth. Be not discouraged if your society seems to be against you, or go against your code of morality. Do not be discouraged, my friends, because it is your opportunity to grow. It is your opportunity to learn and to understand your own power of creativity.

For we say that what you experience is the manifestation of your own thought patterns. Whether they be of a conscious or subconscious projection, they are indeed the manifestation of your own inner thoughts, feelings, emotions, and understanding. So, is it not logical that in order to truly know your universe and all about it, that you must first know yourself? If the law of creation which we have given to you is indeed true, so are the words that we speak. We demand in no way that you accept what we say. We only speak it, for it is what we understand and what we experience. It is your choice, my friends, to either grasp on to this understanding and to refine it or to search for another one. But we assure you that in due time, whether it be within this life experience or not, all of the people upon planet Earth shall come to understand the simplicity of the truth that we speak.

We of the Confederation are aware of all of the great teachers now on your planet and all of the great teachers within your past. We recognize none as being greater than the other one, only some who were known better, who experienced greater success. And of these, the most successful was the one who you would call the Christ. The Christ, my friends, was the manifestation of the desires of your peoples for the truth and for an example. Follow the words that He spoke but above all live the life that He lived. Live the truth that you find that you may speak, as did this teacher, and the universe shall lay at your feet and give praise unto you, for indeed you are the risen Christ. For each and every one of you is the risen Christ the moment that you understand yourself.

I would transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Laitos, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I ask you to pause with us at this time to work on conditioning. We are privileged to work especially with those who desire to intensify their contact with the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator. We will work on each of you at this time, and we ask you to relax. We ask you to envision the energy of Love all about you. It permeates the air about you, my friends. You breathe it in with every breath and absorb it through the skin of your chemical body. Love is all about you. You breathe it in; and you are a sentient being; and you cause this Love to have direction, my friends. And this Love that you breathe in and absorb spirals up your energy centers—and we are aiding you and feeling this at this time—and the energy rises as smoothly as you have begun to open the doors of meditation.

And as you become a purer channel, my friends, this energy rises more and more smoothly and becomes a pure Love energy as you give it out as freely as it has come to you. And now this energy, my friends, leaps up like flames from each of you and becomes a beautiful white energy, and moves from one to another about the circle that you have made in your seeking this evening. We ask you to feel this energy, feel the unity of that movement of Love in the circle. Feel the potential building up. This unity of Love my friends, is reality. You are experiencing Love at this time. Now, relax and continue to feel the energy coming in, being directed by the wisdom of your being, being sent to the group as love energy, and feel the unity.

Laitos wanted to share the conditioning vibration with those in this group who wanted to learn how to channel them. Laitos began by saying I ask you to pause with us at this time to work on conditioning as we are privileged to work with those who desire to intensify their contact with the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator, so we will work on each of you at this time, and we ask you to relax and envision the energy of Love all about you, for it permeates the air about you, and you breathe it in with every breath and absorb it through the skin of your chemical body, and Love is all about you, so you breathe it in; and you are a sentient being; and you cause this Love to have direction, so this Love that you breathe in and absorb spirals up your energy centers—and we are aiding you and feeling this at this time—and the energy rises as smoothly as you have begun to open the doors of meditation. Then Laitos said as you become a purer channel this energy rises more smoothly and becomes a pure Love energy as you give it out as freely as it has come to you, and now this energy leaps up like flames from each of you and becomes a beautiful white energy, and moves from one to another about the circle that you have made in your seeking this evening, so we ask you to feel this energy, feel the unity of that movement of Love in the circle, and feel the potential building up since this unity of Love is reality, for you are experiencing Love at this time, so relax and continue to feel the energy coming in, being directed by the wisdom of your being, being sent to the group as Love energy, and then feel the unity. On January 18, 1976, Hatonn described the vibration of Love as our reality:

But, my friends, the basic vibration of the Creator, perfect Love, is a vibration which is given not only through us, but through your aides and guides, whom you would call angels, through your own inner self, through teachers upon your own spiritual planes, as you would call them—everywhere, everywhere, my friends, within the creation. This original vibration of Love is reality. In meditation you are seeking not an electromagnetic wave from us; you are seeking perfect Love. What we can give you in this channeling wave is a means of service to others. Also, it is, as we are well aware, a comfort to some of you to know that we are present. For, indeed, our presence is a supporting one in that we love each of you, and wish only to comfort you and help you through your experience.

[Pause]

Very quickly, my friends, we will make contact with some of the newer instruments. We will not spend a great deal of time on this, but we wish to exercise the newer channels, if you will be patient. We would like to attempt to say just a couple of sentences through the one known as G, if she would relax. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

We would move now to make contact with the one known as J, if she would relax and speak freely.

[Pause]

We would move now to contact the instrument known as B and say a couple of sentences through him, if he desires to speak our thoughts. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

We would now touch on the instruments known as G and M, so that they may feel our presence.

[Pause]

I am Laitos. We are sorry we are not getting verbal contact, but we felt that it was important to let the whole group feel the energy of the group, so that those who had not previously had experience with contact could feel the energy going from place to place within the circle. This is also part of beginning to become familiar with our type of contact, our type of energy. We are aware that members of the group will be attempting to make contact in a new locality in the near future. And we wish to say to the one known as M, that we will be with you, and that we will continue working with you—I, and Hatonn, and many others of the Confederation. Place, obviously, does not mean very much to us. And indeed, we become very, shall we say, confused about time. What we hear in any time and at any place is the desire of our brothers and sisters on planet Earth for the thoughts that we have to share.

My friends, we would ask you to become aware of the fact that you are real. It is indeed almost as though your people, my friends, think of themselves as one of your toys, a doll perhaps, or a stuffed animal that a child would pick up and play with, making pretend in various situations and then putting the doll aside. And so, you treat yourselves, my friends, many times. And then you say, I will play the part of a wage earner, or I will play the part of a man about town, or an attractive woman, or I will play the part of a churchgoer, or I will play this or that role. And you do not believe yourselves, my friends. You do not understand the game at all.

Laitos was talking about their attempt to speak through the instruments in this circle. They began by saying we are sorry we are not getting verbal contact, but we felt that it was important to let the group feel the energy of the group, so that those who had not previously had experience with contact could feel the energy going from place to place within the circle  because this is also part of beginning to become familiar with our type of contact, and we are aware that members of the group will be attempting to make contact in a new locality in the near future, so we wish to say to M that we will be with you, and that we will continue working with you, so I, and Hatonn, and many others of the Confederation will be with you, so the location does not mean much to us, for we become confused about time because what we hear in any time and at any place is the desire of our brothers and sisters on planet Earth for the thoughts that we have to share. Laitos went on to say we would ask you to become aware of the fact that you are real, and it is almost as though your people think of themselves as one of your toys like a doll that a child would pick up and play with in various situations and then putting the doll aside, so you treat yourselves many ways, and then you say, I will play the part of a wage earner, or I will play the part of a man about town, or I will play this or that role, and you do not believe yourselves, and you do not understand the game at all. On March 18, 2007, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the game of life:

When this instrument chose the image of the game and extended it as a metaphor throughout the writing of the book, the fit was good because of the fact that, in terms of winning a common goal—that is, graduation from third density to fourth density positive—there is a process which follows a certain set of rules in which an entity can succeed in penetrating the game by means of learning, understanding, and applying the rules of the game.

Therefore, from our point of view, using the image and the figure of the game is a good decision in terms of communicating, by means of familiar and comfortable structures, the massive structure of the Game of Life, as this instrument has termed it in her book. If one looks carefully at the great systems of thought that have attempted to describe the nature of life on planet Earth, the nature of humanity’s place in the cosmos or the nature of being itself, one may find in many different authors of many different systems of thought a structure emerging which defines the rules of the game which that particular philosophy set out to solve.

You see, underneath the sawdust and the tinsel of everyday life, there is something in you that is real. And that reality is very precious and will outlast the tinsel and the chemical body itself. The things that happen to you daily are quite important to this real self. Not perhaps in the way they seem to be important, as you pretend to be this or that. The importance of these things comes to you in a funny way, shall we say. It comes to you depending on how you desire that it comes to you. It has been written in the holy works that you call the Holy Bible, “Seek and you shall find.” Just as you desire your experience to be, so it will show itself to you.

Most people, my friends, thinking of themselves as little more than a sawdust doll, do not desire deeply that they may discover the truth in their existence. Therefore, they do not discover the truth in their existence. But, my friends, if you truly desire that each moment may teach you its lessons, then you magnetize yourself, just as though you were walking through a vast beach and looking hopefully for precious metals. Sawdust, my friends, does not attract metal. But if you have magnetized yourself, ah, the metal comes to you through all of the useless sand, and it attaches itself firmly to your understanding. Desire. Do not be afraid of that word. What you desire is up to you. The intensity of your desire is very much up to you, my friends. Do not be afraid to really want to know the truth. Not just now, but all the time. When you are eating, my friends, when you are drinking, when you are speaking, when you are watching your television; you are in there, my friends, you are real, and you are here to learn the truth. It is a simple game, and you play it by magnetizing yourself with desire.

Then Laitos said underneath the sawdust and the tinsel of everyday life, there is something in you that is real, and that reality is precious and will outlast the tinsel and the chemical body itself, and the things that happen to you are important to this real self but not in the way they seem to be important, as you pretend to be this or that, so the importance of these things comes to you in a funny way, for it comes to you depending on how you desire that it comes to you, and it has been written in the Holy Bible, “Seek and you shall find,” so just as you desire your experience to be, so it will show itself to you. Laitos went on to say most people think of themselves as little more than a sawdust doll and do not desire that they may discover the truth in their existence, so they do not discover the truth in their existence, but if you desire that each moment may teach you its lessons, then you magnetize yourself, just as though you were walking through a vast beach and looking hopefully for precious metals, but sawdust does not attract metal, but if you have magnetized yourself the metal comes to you through all of the useless sand, and it attaches itself to your understanding, so desire, and do not be afraid of that word since what you desire is up to you, and the intensity of your desire is up to you, so do not be afraid to want to know the truth all the time because when you are eating, drinking, and when you are speaking you are real, and you are here to learn the truth, for it is a simple game, and you play it by magnetizing yourself with desire. On July 18, 1982, Latwii described the truth of our being:

The path each of you travels is one which is pointed surely and steadily at the one Creator. Your path has many pitfalls; it is so for each true seeker. We rejoice with each of your efforts. They are most valiant, for the conditions under which you labor are conditions which hide a great portion of the truth from you. The truth of your oneness with each of your brothers and sisters, the truth of your oneness with the Creator, and the truth of the Love and the Light and the power of that one Creator within each of your beings is a truth which is hidden from you so that your desire to find it might be enhanced. We rejoice with each of you as you rekindle that desire. Seek, my brothers and sisters, for as you seek, so shall you surely find, for that which you seek is already within your being.

I will turn the message back now to Hatonn, and open the meeting to questions. I am Laitos, and I thank you very, very much for the privilege of speaking with you.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I got out of bed at 2:30 am and packed my carryon suitcase and my computer and drove from Ogallala, Nebraska to Kearney, Nebraska. In Kearney I boarded a small United Airlines jet and flew to Denver, Colorado. Then I had lunch before boarding a United Airlines 737 jet and flew to Louisville, Kentucky.

This afternoon, arrived in Louisville at 2:30 pm, and then I went to the long-term parking garage and discovered that Stanley would not start. So, I called AAA and they said that they would send someone to work on the battery, but they also said that Airport Security could also fix a battery problem. So, I got ahold of the Airport Security guy, and he got Stanley started, but he said that I should go to AutoZone to see if it might be an alternator problem. The AutoZone guy said that it was an alternator problem and suggested that I take Stanley to Bachman Subaru for a new alternator. When I called Bachman Subaru the service department guy said that I could drop Stanley off tomorrow, but finding an alternator for a 20-year old Subaru would take a while.

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

August 11

The Race Of Detail And Duty

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

We see that you have many concerns upon your minds this day and are already eagerly planning how to run the race of detail and duty. How quickly you feel you must run!

Know that the Love of Jesus the Christ moves effortlessly and gracefully with you in each moment of concern, in each detail of the working day. As close as breathing is this Love which smoothes and makes plentiful time, energy and coordination.

Indeed, there is no lack of things to do, yet neither is there a lack of service to offer in Love. Let each detail be transformed by the inner asking of the knowledge of the Love and service breathed forth by the Spirit upon all material things.

We leave you in perfect 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 quote comes from September 26, 1977:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I shall speak with you this evening, for it has been requested, and it is our purpose for being here. I shall speak upon several subjects and shall attempt to answer many of your questions as we are aware of them.

I have said that my name is Hatonn. Yet, I wish you to know that this is not a name as you would know it. It is merely a means for identifying ourselves in a way that is acceptable to you. If you were within our world, shall we say, you would understand the concept; the concept of lack, shall we say, of desire for identification. This does not mean that we do not live as individuals. But it means that we live as one, together, united for one goal, desirous not of, shall we say, boosting our personalities and of our egotistical traits. We wish only to unite and to serve, as we have come to the realization that all people are servants to one another. And it is our obligation and our desire to serve those upon planet Earth in their time of need.

We have come from many areas as you would understand it, and have traveled great distances as you would understand it. But to us the distances are nearly nonexistent. We feel that those upon planet Earth who attempt to understand, shall we say, the mechanics of the universe have somewhat erred in their pursuit of knowledge. For my friends, to understand the physical intellect that you utilize while existing upon the planet Earth, to utilize that intellect to attempt to understand the universe, is in many ways a useless endeavor. The intellect which you utilize has been programmed to accept finite principles, meaning that you have placed limitations upon that which it shall accept. And the universe, my friends, is founded upon the infinite, all things being infinite and therefore having no limitations. So, it is incomprehensible to us that people could understand the universe in its totality utilizing only the intellect which is many times [inaudible].

We do not attempt to be scornful in any manner. We attempt only to display and to give the truth as we perceive it. Whatever we say we ask only that you listen if you would wish to and decide for yourself if it is the truth that we speak and if the truth that we speak is that which you are seeking. For, my friends, the truth may be presented in many ways. Though it shall always say the same, it can be phrased in many different ways and brought through many different sources. The reason it is this way upon your planet is because your people are still endeavoring within their personalities and seeking means of personal identification. Therefore, each shall choose the path that is most comfortable for them to follow. In understanding this, you can see that it is not the responsibility of anyone to point the fallacy of any path out to one who is consciously following that path with Love in their heart. Though the path may not be the purest in your eyes, the Love within their heart is. And that Love shall eventually draw all to that universal point where all is indeed one with the other.

Look not upon your brothers and sisters as different than you. Look upon your friend as a reflection of a portion of yourself and of your Creator. The Creator, my friends, is a term which we use to signify that which we consider to be the omnipresent energy and intelligence that is, shall we say, the maker of all things. We see the presence of that Creator within each individual and within all matter. For if indeed, as many of your major philosophies have stated, all things are one, then the Creator must be within them. The greatest law which you may observe is to love and respect one another as you would yourself; to love and respect the Creator within each individual. Do not attempt to focus upon those points of personality which seem undesirable to you, but focus your attention upon those points of universality, one with the Creator, within your brothers and sisters. And in this way, you shall commune more quickly, in love and in harmony, with not only your brothers and sisters upon this planet, but with your brothers throughout the universe.

For indeed, the universe in which we all exist is infinite in size and infinite in population as you would know. We of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator, as we sometimes call ourselves, have been with you throughout your history, though we are more numerous now than ever before. And each of you taking a look at the situations within your world can indeed understand why. For people upon planet Earth are caught not only in their own illusion, but in a dilemma. They have created what you would term as inevitable destruction due to environmental abuse and conscious projection of negative thought forms. This is indeed evident and has in many ways been stated by your scientists. Though they do not know the true reasons why, they know the effect that is already in process.

Therefore, we have come to help, to help the people of Earth to understand what it is they have done to cause this effect, and what it is they can do to alleviate to the greatest extent those effects already in process. We wish not to speak of doom. We wish not to speak of annihilation. We wish to speak of the rebirth of planet Earth. Rebirth in not only a physical sense, but more important in a sense that you would term as being spiritual. My friends, you can dwell within this type of environment as long as you choose to do so. But if you choose to advance, shall we say, upon the evolutionary scale, then it is necessary to strive spiritually to understand yourself and your ability to create the environment that you choose. Each and every one of us is the extension, as we have stated, of the Creator. And within us is planted that ability to project thought forms, and if given enough time, to manifest that thought form into physical actuality and experience. You are indeed the co-Creator of your environment with those who you choose to associate with.

People upon planet Earth look about these days and times in many ways to experience what is termed as phenomena. But we say to you that there is no such thing as phenomena. All things are natural within this universe, and all things are possible. Each and every one of you is the phenomena—your life, all of your experiences, are created by you, and most of you do not even realize this. To us this is a phenomenon: your lack of understanding of your own ability. People of Earth, open your heart. Open your mind and your spirit. Allow the truth of the universe that lies within you to radiate not only within this environment, but throughout the universe. Do not label anything or limit anything. Allow your life to flow freely as it is meant to be. Go within yourself periodically each day in what you would term meditation, and allow the God within you, that essence of the Creator within you, to calm you, to inspire you, and to fulfill your needs. Listen to the silence which you can so easily hear. And within that silence we promise to be all the knowledge of the universe if only you would reach out and accept it.

We say many things as we speak to you on Earth. But indeed, the most important that we come to bear is the need for the individual to take the initiative to evolve on a spiritual basis. And we have found the most, shall we say, expedient tool to be the practice of meditation. It is a key given to us by the Creator to unlock those doors that seem to be so stubbornly bolted before us. Free yourself and free your brothers and sisters by going within yourself into the silence. This is the most necessary part.

We of the Confederation are very happy to share with you. I shall transfer this communication to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. And again, I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I shall continue. Yes, my friends, we ask you to meditate in silence, each of your days. And we do this for a reason, my friends. We have said to you Love is all that there is. You must love your brothers and sisters. But, my friends, the beginning of Love is the love of yourself as a whole and perfect being. It is in meditation that you become aware of the true nature of yourself and therefore, my friends, the true nature of the universe, for you are inseparable, completely linked with all that there is. That is why you and we are brothers and sisters, for neither time nor space, nor all the dimensions of creation can separate the oneness of consciousness.

Consider, my friends, yourselves as physical beings who are dressed in many layers and types of attire that cover that which you call your nakedness. You have many things which you do, which you place upon yourselves, many various ways in which you arrange those portions of your body which may grow from day to day. That which you call your hair is arranged in such a way as to make a certain impression, or to please you or to please society. And when you are armored with all of the clothing and the appearance that you desire, then and only then do you meet the world as you perceive it outside yourself. With each layer of clothing, with each arrangement of your hair and your odors and the various manifestations of your physical being, you are separating yourself from the outside world and limiting the responses which you will need to receive in your turn. These are your defenses on a physical level against those things that you do not consider part of yourself. They are your definition of yourself. Perhaps this is not conscious. And perhaps your definition is very carefree. Yet it exists, my friends.

Hatonn asked that we use meditation to discover the true nature of our being. They began by saying they ask us to meditate in silence each of our days, and they do this because Love is all that there is, and we must love our brothers and sisters, but the beginning of Love is the love of ourself as a whole and perfect being, so it is in meditation that we become aware of the true nature of ourself and the true nature of the universe, for we are inseparable, completely linked with all that there is, so that is why we all are brothers and sisters, for neither time nor space, nor all the dimensions of creation can separate the oneness of consciousness. Then Hatonn said to consider ourselves as physical beings who are dressed in many layers and types of attire that cover that which we call our nakedness, and we have many things which we do, and many ways in which we arrange those portions of our body which may grow from day to day, so that which we call our hair is arranged in such a way as to make a certain impression, and when we are armored with all of the appearance that we desire, only then do we meet the world as we perceive it outside ourself, for with each layer of clothing, with each arrangement of our hair, our odors, and the various manifestations of our physical being, we are separating ourself from the outside world and limiting the responses which we will need to receive in our turn, so these are our defenses on a physical level against those things that we do not consider part of ourself, and they are our definition of ourself, so perhaps this is not conscious, and perhaps our definition is carefree, yet it exists. On October 3, 1976, Hatonn described our true nature as Love:

Our message to you has always been simple, and yet because, my friends, your spirits are encased in flesh, our message is never understood in a simple manner, for it filters into your ears in such a way that the simplicity is lost. We tell you that all things are Love, that you are Love, and that your entire existence is a process whereby your whole purpose is to become aware of your true nature; that is, to become aware of the oneness of all things and of the nature of that one thing as Love. It is a simple message.

The thought of allowing your physical being to wander naked in the physical world is not one which seems very desirable. And yet, my friends, all beings are naked. All beings are unified even in their body, even on the level of physical illusion, by the total naturalness and validity of all of the functions and manifestations of their physical form. In nakedness, those differences which seem so obvious when one begins to speak, when one begins to limit oneself by clothing and by cultural differences, fall away and one can see that we are all one.

On mental, emotional, and spiritual levels, those levels which are unseen, are those we would take up at this time. On these levels, you also have clothing and limitations. You have your mental and emotional limitation closely connected with your concept of who you are, and these may be considered like unto your clothing. But inside your clothing, my friends, is the most terrible limitation of all. Like tight bandages, your unseen self is wrapped in a terrible stricture consisting of those feelings which you have towards others concerning those things which you feel they have done to you for which you have not forgiven them. And, on the other hand, my friends, your feelings of guilt for things which you have done to your brothers and sisters for which you do not feel forgiveness. You will never be whole, my friends. You will always be crippled as long as you carry these bandages about your spiritual body. Oh, my friends, this instrument has within her memory a story of a man who went home with a beautiful woman and as she undressed she took off her wig, her make-up, and her padded brassiere and her wooden leg, and suddenly she wasn’t very beautiful anymore.

Then Hatonn said the thought of allowing our physical being to wander naked in the physical world is not one which seems very desirable, yet all beings are naked and are unified even in our body, on the level of physical illusion, by the total naturalness of all of the functions and manifestations of our physical form, so in nakedness those differences, which seem so obvious when we begin to speak and to limit ourself by clothing and by cultural differences, fall away, and we can see that we are all one. Hatonn went on to say on mental, emotional, and spiritual levels we also have clothing and limitations, for we have our mental and emotional limitation closely connected with our concept of who we are, and these may be considered like our clothing, but inside our clothing is the most terrible limitation of all, and like tight bandages, our unseen self is wrapped in a stricture consisting of those feelings which we have towards others concerning those things which we feel they have done to us for which we have not forgiven them, and our feelings of guilt for things which we have done to our brothers and sisters for which we do not feel forgiveness, but we will never be whole, for we will always be crippled as long as we carry these bandages about our spiritual body, and Carla has within her memory a story of a man who went home with a beautiful woman, and as she undressed she took off her wig, her make-up, and her padded brassiere, and her wooden leg, and suddenly she wasn’t beautiful anymore. On October 1, 1995, Q’uo described the nature of our spiritual body:

So know that the human experience is driven by instinct and at the same time there are opportunities every instant to grow into a spiritual body and a spiritual instinct, and when this begins to occur you shall find meditation and contemplation flowing easily and quietly in natural ways throughout the life pattern, and the muscles of spirit will have learned these notes so that now they can work subconsciously, naturally, so that one does not have to think about the process but can enjoy the music of spiritual consciousness and can turn that consciousness upon a world that is all too short on love and laughter. Each of you can be of service to others in this respect, of lightening other’s loads, of offering that light and caring touch, sharing that laugh, and spending time together easing each other’s burdens.

My friends, all those that you look at, within this group and elsewhere, all these, my friends, are cripples. They all have wooden legs. They all have wigs. On the level of your human personality, they are wrapped in the tight bandages of those things they have not forgiven and those things for which they feel they are not forgiven. And therefore, they manifest within the illusion in imperfect ways. And you, my friends, manifest within the illusion in an imperfect way. Now we return to meditation. As you begin to go into the silence, perhaps you have games you play, as we would call them, in which you attempt to carry your clothed spirit, your limited spirit, into the silence. Do not do this, my friends. Picture yourself, mentally, taking guilt and discarding it as you would a piece of clothing. Taking resentment and fear, putting them aside and walking as your shining naked self into the waters of cleanliness. After you have bathed yourself in total forgiveness, total cleanliness for the moment, you can emerge and in your mind, you can sit down and listen. Listen for those signals which will come to you in the silence. You are a whole and complete person. Within you is perfection, wisdom and all the attributes of love.

Yes, you will come out of meditation. Yes, you will begin to wrap the bandages about yourself. But as you come again and again into meditation, strip yourself clean and allow that soothing feeling of wholeness to come into your awareness. You begin to view your brothers and your sisters with something that does approach true Love, for you will see, behind whatever manifestations may occur, that whole and perfect being that dwells perhaps very far beneath, perhaps very obviously beneath the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical clothing. We have always greeted you in love and in light, for that is all that there is. We can greet you in nothing else. As you go into the silence, know that you are within that which is Love. There is nowhere to go. You have no outer influence to seek. All that you desire is within. Meditate, my friends. And always we will aid you in any way that we can.

Now Hatonn said all those that we look at, within this group and elsewhere, are cripples, and they all have wooden legs and wigs, so on the level of our human personality they are wrapped in tight bandages of those things they have not forgiven and those things for which they feel they are not forgiven, so we manifest within the illusion in an imperfect way, and as we begin to go into the silence of meditation, perhaps we have games we play in which we attempt to carry our limited spirit into the silence, but instead we should picture ourself taking guilt and discarding it as we would a piece of clothing by taking resentment and fear, putting them aside, and walking as our shining naked self into the waters of cleanliness, and after we have bathed ourself in forgiveness and cleanliness for the moment, we can emerge, and in our mind we can sit down and listen for those signals which will come to us in the silence, for we are a whole and complete person, and within us is perfection, wisdom, and all the attributes of Love. Hatonn continued by saying we will come out of meditation, and we will begin to wrap the bandages about ourself, but as we come into meditation we should strip ourself clean and allow that feeling of wholeness to come into our awareness until we begin to view our brothers and sisters with something that approaches true Love, for we will see, behind whatever manifestations may occur, that whole and perfect being that dwells far beneath the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical clothing, and Hatonn has always greeted us in Love and in Light, for that is all that there is, so they can greet us in nothing else, and as we go into the silence, know that we are within that which is Love, for there is nowhere to go since we have no outer influence to seek, and all that we desire is within, so meditate and they will aid us in any way that they can. On November 16, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the nature of true Love:

The ways of courtship are slow and sweet. They are full of passion and yet full of restraint, for the object of love is sensitive, young, inexperienced. And certainly, as an essence, living within consensus reality, your hearts are indeed innocent babes in a wicked world. So, there are the hints that we give you. It is not seeking as a man seeks a woman, and yet it is, in that there is passion, there is true Love, and there is the hope of serving.

Find the ways that your own inner self wishes to express itself. Is it walking in nature? Is it filling your mind with great music or great words? Is it the act of service? We find within this instrument’s mind an example from earlier this day as she was speaking with the one known as Jim, and he was expressing to her how he feels grateful for the opportunity to cut and trim the lawn of the client so that he creates a place of beauty, and as he leaves, he looks back over his shoulder with great affection and pride because he has loved that place and danced with the Love that is in that place. Perhaps that undiscovered country within you is a place that you may love and that you may dance with and in.

At this time, I would open the meeting to questions. If you have a question, please speak up.

Questioner: Could you give some thoughts on dreams and interpreting them?

Hatonn: We are aware of your question. My sister, you must already know that consciousness does not cease either with sleep or with death. Therefore, that which you recall from your dreams is a record that your consciousness has been keeping during your slumbers. There are many levels of consciousness below that which you call consciousness, and many are not understood by those who study dreams. The level that is most often described by those who study the importance of dreams is the level wherein you are as your higher self attempting to speak to your conscious self about the material which you have covered in your experience within the last day or short period. There may be many symbols which those who interpret dreams have fairly adequately covered which may be used within your own dreams as a kind of symbolism to, shall we say, soften the blow of the lessons that your dreams are attempting to offer you.

We do not consider this the most important type of dream, however. In actuality, your consciousness is being taught by your teachers during sleep. And quite often, if you are very careful to keep records of your dreams, you will begin to consciously remember at least part of these lessons. This is most valuable to you, and it is worth attempting to discover by means of keeping records of your dreams. There are some cases where the more advanced among your peoples have the job, shall we say, of leaving their body during sleep periods and within one of the spiritual bodies, as this instrument would call them, going to other places and working with those who may need some kind of help either with mental or physical problems. These healers, as one might call them, are rare, but they are very helpful and do exist, and it is another activity that occurs in, shall we say, a dream form. Separate from all this my sister, are visions, either of the future or of the present, in which you see in a very real sense that which is to occur. This takes place on what you would call the fifth dimension and does not have anything in common with dreaming. You are actually there, and your consciousness is fully awake.

Questioner asked about dreams, and if Hatonn could give her some thoughts on interpreting them. Hatonn began by saying you must already know that consciousness does not cease either with sleep or with death, so that which you recall from your dreams is a record that your consciousness has been keeping during your slumbers, and there are many levels of consciousness below that which you call consciousness, and many are not understood by those who study dreams, and the level that is most often described by those who study the importance of dreams is the level wherein you are as your higher self attempting to speak to your conscious self about the material which you have covered in your experience within the last day, so there may be symbols which those who interpret dreams have covered which may be used within your dreams as a kind of symbolism to soften the blow of the lessons that your dreams are attempting to offer you. On May 25, 1980, Latwii spoke of the value of our dreams:

May we say to you that all things in your experience are very useful for your understanding, and this definitely includes dreams, for one third of your life, if you are lucky, is spent in garnering these messages from parts of your mind and spirit that are forced into quietude during your active, daily work-a-day world. Sometimes your dreams will simply attempt to work out frustrations in your daily life and are simply a means of helping you to adjust to a situation which is less than perfect. However, if you become a student of your own dreams, that is, if you begin to write them down as soon as you awaken, you will begin to understand things about yourself that you did not understand before. For you are, in your dreams, conversing with parts of yourself that are in touch with your higher self and with those whom we would call your angels or your guides.

Once you have begun to pay attention to your dreams, you will begin to have memories of being instructed or even of instructing others, depending upon your particular vibratory pattern as a personality coming into this incarnation. Eventually, you will be able to use faculties of your consciousness in dreams, so that you will have a much better communication with yourself in your deeper or subconscious, as this instrument would call it, mode of being.

Therefore, we would of course encourage you to pay attention to your dreams, just as you would pay attention to those things that occur when you are awake. It is widely known among your people that sleep is necessary only because of dreaming. If sleep occurs without dreaming, the entity becomes ill. In your dreams you are in contact with your higher self and with the Creator. This is your spiritual rest. There are many, many of your people to whom this is the only comfort, for whom this is the only contact. Thus, the more that you meditate or pray, the less that you will need sleep. If you were to totally spend your time in an inspired or loving state, conscious of the Creator, and in ecstasy with the joy of the creation and Love, you would not need your sleep. And, there have been those among your people who have achieved this level of contact with Love. However, for the rest of those upon your planet, as this instrument, for instance, you will continue to need a sufficient amount of sleep, so that you can make contact with those deeper parts of your being.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: Yes. Thank you.

Hatonn: Is there another question? My friends, this has been a longer meeting than usual. And we are very grateful for your patience as we have had a good deal to impart to you. We ask you again to understand that we come to you not to give you technology—for, my friends, you would not be able to handle technology—but Love. For, my friends, you badly need Love. Let us share this with you. If all of you could love each other, you would refrain from your war-like efforts and from your defensive efforts. And, my friends, that money which you now have to spend on your technology would be enough to give you the breakthroughs that your scientists would like to make. We may tell you that we are aware at this time on your planet that there are those close enough to understanding methods of propulsion, fusion power, and other helpful pieces of technological breakthrough that an application of money sufficient to fund their research would make the breakthrough. But your governments will not spend the money on research unless it has defensive abilities.

My friends, technology will come when you have Love. We realize this must seem to you to be, as this instrument would say, a great cop-out. But it is not. We can only say to you that when you have Love, you are joyful and full of energy, and that which has been given to you to do you will do. And the breakthroughs will come, and the technologies will come. If you do not have Love, as it has been written in your holy works, all that you do will be hollow. It is especially important that we say this to you at this time, for you are at the end of a cycle, and if you had the time, you could not use it. For time is coming to a kind of ending, and you are coming to a beginning. Therefore, attempt at this time to find the Love within yourself, and to reach out to your brothers and sisters.

Now Hatonn wanted to share information about technology and Love. They began by asking us to understand that they come to us not to give us technology—for we would not be able to handle technology—but Love, for we badly need Love, so if all of us could love each other, we would refrain from our war efforts and from our defensive efforts, and that money which we have to spend on our technology would be enough to give us the breakthroughs that our scientists would like to make, so they may tell us that they are aware at this time on our planet that there are those close enough to understanding methods of propulsion, fusion power, and other helpful pieces of technological breakthrough that an application of money sufficient to fund their research would make the breakthrough, but our governments will not spend the money on research unless it has defensive abilities. Then Hatonn said technology will come when we have Love, and this must seem to us to be, as Carla would say, a great cop-out, but it is not, and they can only say to us that when we have Love, we are joyful and full of energy, and that which has been given to us to do we will do, and the breakthroughs will come, and the technologies will come, but if we have not Love, all that we do will be hollow, so it is important that they say this to us, for we are at the end of a cycle, and if we had the time, we could not use it, for time is coming to an ending, and we are coming to a beginning, so attempt at this time to find the Love within ourself and to reach out to our brothers and sisters. On October 31, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the end of the cycle of third density:

You see, my friends, the reason that your people are so anxious at this time to discover the purpose of their existence is that at this time your planetary sphere is marking the end of a cycle of existence. And it will be necessary for your people to, shall we say, take a cosmic examination. And those who pass will go on to the next level, and they enter the next lesson. Those who do not pass this examination will have to repeat this so-called Earthly grade once again.

We are here to help you with this examination. We have been here, as you have earlier spoken, for some time; as you would say, for many thousands of your years. Yet it is at this time that we are far more numerous, for it is at this time that we are more needed.

If your path takes you into science, into politics, into any manner of interaction with your brothers and sisters, so be it. Philosophers and spiritual-minded people are not off on top of a mountain. They come down from the mountain and live for the good of their brothers and sisters and for the Love of the Creator that gave them the life, the consciousness, the talent, and the will. We reach out our hands to you, my friends. And we leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I cleaned all of the windows and rear-view mirrors on my rental car since it was covered in dust. Then I drove over to Walmart to get some milk to go with the bananas that I saved from breakfast at this hotel that will become my breakfast as I drive back to Kearney, Nebraska early tomorrow morning to board the flight to Denver. Then I filled the tank of the rental car with gas. At 10 am my cousin, Karma, picked me up, and we went to the care home to visit my aunt Margaret. After a while we went out for lunch.

This afternoon Karma and I drove to Lake McConaughy, which is a lake that was created in the late 1930’s by damming the Platte River. It is 22 miles long and the dam is over 200 feet tall. There is a small lake on the other side of Lake McConaughy called Lake Ogallala where my dad and I used to fish when I was in grade school. Then Karma and I drove back to the care home to spend some more time with my Aunt Margaret. She still isn’t eating much at all, so I am planning to come back to attend the funeral whenever it is necessary.

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

August 10

Put On Spiritual Clothing

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

Putting on the clothing is part of the preparation for the day’s business. We suggest to you that you also put on the spiritual clothing of Light which may aid the process of seeking during the day to come.

Visualize and call to the self that great armor of protection that goes before, follows after, guards upon each side and permeates each part and cell of your body. This armor of Light enables the seeker to dwell within the state of joy and peace which the living waters of Love, caught up in the armor of Light, can bear.

Without such armor, without such deep remembrance of Light, it is difficult to dance throughout the daily experience. Each time light is forgotten, be not discouraged but call in again upon yourself that great protection.

We leave you in 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 quote comes from August 10, 1977:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. We are very pleased to be with you, and we greet each of you. We have a good contact tonight, and this makes it easier for us to share our thoughts with you.

Your people, my friends, do not always have a good contact with us, or with any of those who attempt to help them to remember their true self. Why is it, my friends, that your people are often so unaware of the friends that they have? We have come from other worlds, shall we say, other dimensions, other times. Any of your helpers are parts of your own real self, separated from you only by your limited consciousness while within the physical illusion. Others of your helpers have been your teachers through past experiences on the soul level. You have teachers who are within the physical illusion with you at this time whose words you may read or hear; whose music you may hear; whose feelings you may come to understand on a conscious level. Within the illusion, all of these helpers, my friends, who people your world—are inhabitants within the life of your true self which you call the soul. And yet, how many of your people, my friends, think they are alone, and the world is a jungle, and they must get by the best they can? With this kind of philosophy, my friends, every day is a difficult one; every decision is a hard one; and all brothers and sisters are met with suspicion. Yet, my friends, you are truly very rich in friends, most of them unseen, most of them available only through meditation.

Your own higher self is your greatest friend. Your own higher self retains the memory of all that you have learned. Not only in this experience, but in that great sum of experience through which your true self has traveled on its path to where you are now. It has been written in your holy works that the master known as Jesus came to declare the acceptable year of the Creator, the acceptable time for understanding of unity. At the beginning of your cycle, your people were unacceptable, for there was a great darkness, a great forgetting, for all the souls that had begun in this cycle at that time had to begin with total lack of memory, had to begin in the darkness of total illusion to rediscover independently and of free will all of the truths of the Creator; all of the truths and of love and brotherhood and sisterhood; all of those things that separate the conscious awareness of the living soul from the instinctive rise of awareness of your animal life.

Hatonn began this session by talking about our true self. They began by saying our people do not always have good contact with them, or with any of those who attempt to help them to remember their true self, and our people are often unaware of the friends that they have, and Hatonn has come from other worlds and other times, so any of our helpers are parts of our real self, separated from us only by our limited consciousness while within the physical illusion, and other of our helpers have been our teachers through past experiences on the soul level, for we have teachers who are within the physical illusion with us at this time whose words we may read or hear; whose music we may hear; whose feelings we may come to understand on a conscious level, and within the illusion all of these helpers who people our world are inhabitants within the life of our true self which we call the soul, yet many of our people think they are alone, and they must get by the best they can, for with this kind of philosophy every day is a difficult one; every decision is a hard one; and all brothers and sisters are met with suspicion, but we are rich in friends, most of them unseen, most of them available only through meditation. Hatonn went on to say our higher self is our greatest friend and retains the memory of all that we have learned in that great sum of experience through which our true self has traveled on its path to where we are now, and it has been written in our holy works that the master Jesus came to declare the acceptable year of the Creator, the acceptable time for understanding of unity because at the beginning of our cycle, our people were unacceptable, for there was a great forgetting, for all the souls that had begun in this cycle at that time had to begin with total lack of memory, had to begin in the darkness of the illusion to rediscover by free will all of the truths of the Creator; all of the truths and of Love and brotherhood and sisterhood; all of those things that separate the conscious awareness of the living soul from the instinctive rise of awareness of our animal life. On December 17, 1995, Q’uo said that our soul is the one Creator, or our true self:

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, but aware of no sure means of describing the nature of the soul with words that can be understood, for the nature of each soul is the essence of the one Creator, and this essence at its heart is mystery. There is energy. There is intelligence. There is infinity. There is unity. All these are a portion of this soul essence.

And in the instinct to conscious awareness of truth, your people have labored long, for thousands of your years, through many lives. You have worked to begin to express in a conscious manner your knowledge of unity. The master known as Jesus came to declare that acceptable truth. He served as a perfect example. And those truths have become more and more acceptable to individual souls as the cycle has progressed. That acceptable year, my friends, draws nigh and is upon you. That which you are expressing at this time may well be your final expression within this cycle. It is time, as this instrument would say, to get it right. It is within the awareness of each of you within this group to understand the pressures of the one who desires to pass the test at the end of the school year. There is a studying; there is a caring; a desiring that one’s level of understanding may be acceptable.

We ask, my friends, that as you turn to meditation, you turn with desire to understand fully that which is acceptable, that which is true. Many, many are the philosophies and the religions among your peoples that always, no matter what the disagreements and contradictions of what you may call dogma, always the ethical considerations remain constant. The ethics, that which is acceptable, do not seem to be in question, for action is the most expressive form of truth. Therefore, we ask you to meditate and seek that truth. And then go forth and enjoy. Allow that which is acceptable to the Creator to flow from you as you have received it in meditation.

Hatonn went on to say in the instinct to conscious awareness of truth, our people have labored for thousands of our years, through many lives, so we have worked to begin to express our knowledge of unity, and the master Jesus came to declare that acceptable truth, and He served as a perfect example, so those truths have become more acceptable to individual souls as the cycle has progressed, for that acceptable year draws nigh and is upon us, and that which we are expressing at this time may be our final expression within this cycle because it is time, as Carla would say, so it is within the awareness of each of us within this group to understand the pressures of the one who desires to pass the test at the end of the school year through studying, caring, and desiring that one’s level of understanding may be acceptable. Now Hatonn said that as we turn to meditation, we turn within to desire to understand that which is true, for many are the philosophies and the religions among our people where the ethical considerations remain constant, for the ethics of that which is acceptable do not seem to be in question, for action is the most expressive form of truth, so Hatonn asked us to meditate and seek that truth, and then go forth to enjoy and allow that which is acceptable to the Creator to flow from us as we have received it in meditation. On April 1, 1990, Q’uo spoke of how we can meditate and seek the truth of change within our deep self:

We offer you discomfort, the discomfort of change, and as you meditate and seek to know your own deep self, seek to deepen your trust, and you shall find yourself more and more uncomfortable as you change more and more. This discomfort is a divine discomfort, an excellent discomfort, an encouraging discomfort, for it means that you are in truth prepared to change. You have allowed your rigidity of belief to melt into the malleable, impressionable thought processes which are powered by the energy gained from dropping the old programs that have been to you in some way destructive.

Perhaps there is a greater question in back of what we speak to you about this evening. Perhaps while you are within the physical illusion you can never be totally sure that it is truly an illusion, and that your real self is completely infinite and has eternal life. It is for reasons such as these that a word known as “faith” was conceived by your people. The word has unfortunate connotations, yet it is not foolish to have faith. There are many things which are not seen, but which you for some reason have inner conviction will come to pass. My friends, they will come to pass whether or not you have inner convictions. But your own personal progress along the lines of seeking will be much more rapid if you allow yourself to trust that intuition that tells you that our words are true. As you allow yourself to have as much faith as you may feel comfortable with, that small amount of faith will express itself to you in reflection in many privately convincing ways so that gradually you will not have to go on faith anymore, for you will have been shown in ways that are clear to you that that which you had faith in is indeed true.

Therefore, my friends, it is not the tool of the fanatic, or one who is mentally deficient, or one who is mentally lazy. Faith is the conscious tool of the intellect used to link your intellect, which is a rather weak tool, with your intuition and your deeper awarenesses, which are very strong tools, but about which you know nothing intellectually. Many have said that there can be no link between the intellect and the intuition, or the heart. But, my friends, this is not so for all people know those things about which one has faith. All people are aware that it is possible to believe in love, in hope, in giving, in healing. All people, even the most materialistic, my friends, are aware of the legitimacy and the worth of these unseen powers. Their faith may be greatly diminished, but the words, concepts, and the possibility of faith are meaningful. Ask yourself what things you have faith in; what things are of worth to you. And allow those things to expand as you bring them into your conscious, intellectual awareness. First, through meditation and then through the actions given to others in joy.

Now Hatonn was speaking of the value of faith in our lives. They began by saying there is a greater question in back of what they speak to us about this evening, so while we are within the physical illusion we can never be sure that it is an illusion, and that our real self is infinite and has eternal life, and it is for reasons such as these that a word “faith” was conceived by our people, but the word has unfortunate connotations, yet it is not foolish to have faith, for there are many things which are not seen, but which we have an inner conviction will come to pass, and they will come to pass whether or not we have inner convictions, but our own progress along the lines of seeking will be more rapid if we allow ourself to trust that intuition that tells us that Hatonn’s words are true, so as we allow ourself to have as much faith as we feel comfortable with, that small amount of faith will express itself to us in reflection in many convincing ways so that gradually we will not have to go on faith anymore, for we will have been shown in ways that are clear to us that which we had faith in is true. Now Hatonn said it is not the tool of the fanatic or one who is mentally lazy, but faith is the conscious tool of the intellect used to link our intellect, which is a weak tool, with our intuition and our deeper awarenesses, which are strong tools, but about which we know nothing intellectually, and many have said that there can be no link between intellect and intuition, or the heart, but this is not so, for all people know those things about which one has faith, and all people are aware that it is possible to believe in Love, in hope, in giving, in healing, and all people are aware of the worth of these unseen powers, for their faith may be diminished, but the possibility of faith is meaningful, so ask ourself what things we have faith in and what things are of worth to us, and allow those things to expand as we bring them into our intellectual awareness through meditation first and then through the actions given to others in joy. On September 10, 2000, Q’uo described what faith is:

The trust of which you speak in relation to faith is not only in one’s feelings but the feeling that despite that which one sees and experiences that one knows that all is well, that one knows that all will be well, that what is occurring at any moment is appropriate and may be learned from in an effective manner which enhances the evolutionary journey. Each entity along this journey will have those times of doubt, of trial, of confusion, of feeling lost, of feeling alone. All of these and many more experiences are those which test one’s character, which offer one kind of lesson or another. There are as many kinds of learning as there are entities to learn. However, in each experience and for each entity, if one can uncover that feeling of faith within and let it be the north star, the Polaris of the self, then one may move without fear and accept whatever is the daily round of activities as they come to one. For an entity that is filled with faith, there is no challenge too great. For any entity without faith, all challenges feel too great. Faith is that which one develops by wishing to develop faith. If one feels faith is lacking in the life pattern, begin to investigate the qualities of faith, the nature of faith, and begin to act as though you have faith, and faith will come to you. Moreover, faith will come through you, for faith is like Love. It is a basic quality of this and all creations. If one can begin to exercise the quality of faith it is much like your physical muscle. It will grow in strength and ability.

We are attempting the transformation of beings through these speeches. We can do so very little, my friends. We can only urge you to meditate; possibly, inspire you through our descriptions of those things of which we have the greatest faith, in which we feel the greatest belief. In our vibration, these are not inspiring words, these are sober truths. In our vibrations, my friends, they must come through the mists of the material illusion. They must be filtered through your words. And all we can hope is that through the magic of your imagination and your desire to seek the truth our words will inspire you to meditate.

As we said many times, we do not know it all. We are not very wise. We have simply been a little farther up what you might call Jacob’s Ladder. And we know that the journey is far, far more beautiful, more rewarding, and more deserving of faith than any possible journey to any possible place in space, in time, or in imagination. The journey for truth, my friends, is a journey for Love, a journey for yourself, for you are truth and Love. We hold out our hands to you on this journey and if at any time you wish our thoughts or the simple strengthening of our vibration, request it mentally, and I will be there. That, my friends, is another thing in which you may have faith.

Then Hatonn said they are attempting the transformation of beings through these speeches, but they can do so little, and they can only urge us to meditate and inspire us through their descriptions of those things in which they have the greatest faith, so in their vibration these are not inspiring words, but these are sober truths, so in our vibrations they must come through the mists of the material illusion, and they must be filtered through our words, so all they can hope is that through the magic of our imagination, and our desire to seek the truth, their words will inspire us to meditate. Hatonn continued by saying they do not know it all, for they are not very wise, but they have gotten farther up Jacob’s Ladder, and they know that the journey is more beautiful and more deserving of faith than any journey to any place in space, in time, or in imagination because the journey for truth is a journey for Love, a journey for ourself, for we are truth and Love, so they hold out their hands to us on this journey, and if at any time we wish their thoughts or the strengthening of their vibration, request it mentally, and they will be there. On September 25, 2010, Q’uo spoke of the spiritual nature of Jacob’s Ladder:

The third distortion is that of Light. And it is only at this point, far down the chain of The Law of One, that manifestation occurs. Manifestation is slow in coming. Much must be accomplished first. Yet you live in a world of manifestations. And thusly, you see, you are always climbing what this instrument would call Jacob’s ladder, only you are climbing it down into the depths of your own heart. And there the Creator lies, beyond all manifestation, beyond all images, beyond all ideas of what is real—ready to heal, ready to nurture, ready to Love.

I would like Laitos to work with you. I will return. I am Hatonn.

I am Laitos. And again, I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. If you will be patient, I would like to work with each of you briefly to offer our contact to you. I would like to condition the one known as G. If she would relax, I would condition her. If she desires, I will speak a sentence or two through her. Please relax and speak up as I give you my thoughts. I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. I am again with this instrument. We have some adjusting to do with this instrument. If the one known as G would be patient, we would like to slightly adjust the tuning. We will again attempt contact. I am a Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. We thank the one known as G for the privilege of working with her. We have a fairly stable contact, and we are greatly appreciative of the opportunity. We would attempt to contact the one known as M1, if he would relax. We would like to say a sentence or two through him if he desires this service.

(M1 channeling)

I am Laitos. I…

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Laitos. We are very, very pleased to make contact with the one known as M. It is an exciting thing for us and for the instrument, and we assure the instrument that it gets easier to maintain contact as one becomes used to the shock of speaking one’s thoughts out loud for it is very different to speak out loud than it is to hear within without having put one’s thoughts into words. We are most pleased. I would now like to condition the one known as T and speak just one or two sentences through him if he would desire this service. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. We are aware of the problem. It is a great shift from the intellectual to the intuitive, as we have been speaking about this evening; to speak thoughts without knowing ahead of time the direction of the thought. Thus, it is almost like, shall we say, a noise in the head which cannot be separated into words at first, and the noise blurs the words. However, if you desire this service and persist in attempting, you will eventually become able to, shall we say, decipher the signal from the noise. The noise is the background of your daily existence for there are many, many small thoughts and constant pressures which are attendant upon living within a chemical body and having the responsibilities and social ties through which your life within this illusion has its dynamics and within which you learn. We are attempting to say that this noise is not in itself evil or to be vanished, for you are here to learn, not to, shall we say, groove, entirely. Or, shall we say, you are here to learn and groove, but not one at the expense of the other. In meditation, this background noise will gradually sift away. And all of the messages will begin to come through a little better, including ours.

We thank you very much for the privilege of working with you. We would like to attempt to condition the one known as M2, the one known as R, the one known as S. If they would relax and make themselves open to our contact, we will attempt to make a better contact with each life vibration. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

I am Laitos. We rejoice that we have been able to be with each of you. It is a good contact tonight. And we are very, very privileged and pleased. I will leave this instrument now and return the meeting to Hatonn. I am Laitos.

I am with the instrument. I am Hatonn. And I greet you again in love and light. Before we close, I would open the meeting to questions. Does anyone have a question?

Questioner: What was the beginning? Hatonn, you talked briefly of our higher self being the sum of the knowledges of the many lives we have lived. Where did it all start? How did it all start?

Hatonn: This information is beyond our understanding. It is our intuitive feeling that the Creator has no beginning and no ending, has no limits of any kind. It is our intuitive understanding that the conscious universe as we know it with its infinity of expressions, vibrations, times, spaces, dimensions, and thoughts was an instantaneous expression of the Creator in a single vibration which in your holy works has been called the Word. The Word, my friends, was Love. There was one original Vibration that expressed Itself out of the infinite, out of the invisible.

Love then formed gradually, step-by-step, all that the individual consciousnesses which were expressed by Love at that time could begin to create. The universe has been peopled more and more by the individual imaginations and thoughts of all of those infinite beings that were created as part of the Love vibration. Each of you, my friends, has dwelled since the beginning of time. Before the beginning of time, there was the Creator. It is our intuitive understanding that after the end of time, when all of the particles of infinite Love have made the journey back to the Creator, there will still be the Creator. There is no beginning and there is no ending, but our universe is Love.

Questioner asked: “What was the beginning? Hatonn, you talked briefly of our higher self being the sum of the knowledges of the many lives we have lived. Where did it all start? How did it all start?” Hatonn said this information is beyond our understanding, but it is our intuitive feeling that the Creator has no beginning and no ending, no limits of any kind, and it is our intuitive understanding that the conscious universe, as we know it, with its infinity of times, spaces, dimensions, and thoughts was an instantaneous expression of the Creator in a single vibration which in our holy works has been called the Word, and the Word was Love, so there was one original Vibration that expressed Itself out of the infinite invisible. Hatonn went on to say Love then gradually formed all that the individual consciousnesses which were expressed by Love at that time could begin to create, so the universe has been peopled by individual imaginations and thoughts of all of those infinite beings that were created as part of the Love vibration, and each of us has dwelled since the beginning of time, so before the beginning of time there was the Creator, and it is our intuitive understanding that after the end of time, when all of the particles of infinite Love have made the journey back to the Creator, there will still be the Creator, for there is no beginning, and there is no ending, but our universe is Love. On November 10, 1996, Q’uo spoke of how we make the journey back to the Creator:

There is, in the manifested world, that duality which enables each of us to wend our way back to the Creator, for we did not come from the Light or darkness if we speak of true origin. Rather we are, with no past and no future. Before all created things that which each of us at our base is. Each of you, each of us, is consciousness itself. And within the purview of those interior rooms lies all that there ever was and all that ever shall be.

How else could each of us be one with all but that we are all holographs of each other? We speak here of mysteries that we do not know the answer to. But we have, indeed, found a tremendous strength in coming to know, to love, and to discipline all portions of self, be they considered Light or dark.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: [Inaudible]

Hatonn: If there are no further questions, we will attempt to bless each of you and thank you for the great privilege of having contact with your unique and precious life vibration. Each of you is a totally unique and precious child of the Creator. Wherever you are on your journey, my friends, we are all with you. We are all your brothers and sisters. I leave you in the love and light. That is all that there is. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning Karma and I took Margaret a bouquet of Roses and Sunflowers. We answered Margaret’s questions now and then about what day it was, getting her some pain medication, and what we were doing today. We hung out with her while she was watching Family Feud on television and occasionally taking a nap. When I was time for Margaret to have lunch, we decided to go out for lunch at our third restaurant.

This afternoon we went back to spend some time with Margaret and discovered that she hadn’t eaten her lunch. So, Karma was able to get Margaret to eat some crackers, but it looks like Margaret is less and less interested in eating. Hopefully, she will begin eating again as she has in the past.

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

August 9

You Are The New Jerusalem

I am of the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, the consciousness of divine Love which lives within the world today and which pours through the clouds of mundane sin and sorrow like sunshine awaiting the grateful eye.

Do you not know that you are the city upon the hill, that you are the new Jerusalem, and that in every cell of your body you may find, recognize and celebrate the renewing and recreative energy of the Spirit of the living Christ? You may say, “Jesus,” and mean it not, yet the vibration shall come to you.

You may say, “Come, Holy Spirit,” and doubt greatly, yet eventually that energy shall come to you. Know each member, each thought, each cell of the wholeness of your body, the twelve upon twelve upon twelve which one hundred forty-four thousand represents.

Allow, await, and expect the power and the peace of the Love of Jesus Christ and the new Jerusalem shall shine through you. And the city upon the hill be a beacon of Light.

We leave you in joy and peace, both this day and evermore. 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 April 13, 1977:

(Don channeling)

Hatonn: I am Hatonn. It is a very great privilege to once more be with you. It is always a very great privilege to be able to communicate with those of the planet Earth who are receptive to our contact. We would very much appreciate contact with all of the peoples of this planet. However, this is not possible at this time. Very shortly we will be contacting many more of the people on your surface than we have in the past. We will be doing this through various methods. We will create in the very near future what you would call an advertisement of our presence. This will alert very large numbers of the people of your planet as to our reality. At this time, it will be necessary for those who believe that they know of our mission to come forth and speak of that, if they desire.

They will find, unfortunately, considerable frustrations in doing this since, as before, they will have no way of proving that which they have come to know as the truth about us. We would prefer to be able to give this understanding directly to the people of your planet. However, this is not possible. It is only possible to give to them the unproven truth of our presence and our mission. For this reason, we will maintain a continued aloofness from direct contact. However, our presence will be less aloof or less unknown. This is timed in such a way as to coincide with certain activities that have been carried out by numerous of the peoples of your planet. These activities have resulted in a partial dissemination, in a very limited fashion, of the actual purpose of our contact. We are at present planning to stimulate the seeking of knowledge about us by becoming somewhat more open in our activities. It has been thirty of your years since the activation of public contact in a very limited way. During this time, such information about us has been stored within your societies upon the surface of your planet.

The second phase, as you might call it, is now beginning. A phase that will include, as I have said, an advertisement of our presence to be followed by the dissemination of still unprovable information about us. This, my friends, is the second phase.

I will transfer this contact at this time to another instrument.

(N channeling)

Again, it is a great privilege to speak to you. This second phase, as we have called it, will help many of your people on their way in search of truth. As I have said, it will… I will pause.

[Doorbell rings.]

We welcome the new member to the group this evening. As I was saying, this new phase will help more people in their search for the truth. They will be stimulated and will have new energy to pursue the truth. My brothers, there will be much more frustration, and it will cause many to wonder deeply whether or not they are pursuing a worthwhile path. But I and my brothers will be with them and with you at all times if you desire it to give assistance as much as we can.

I will now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. We did not wish to come to this instrument earlier, for we wish to use the talent and build up the confidence of each of our instruments. Also, each instrument has its own special talents, and we wished to speak through this instrument on subjects which would be of interest to the new member.

Withinyour universe there is a local phenomenon which is known to you as time and a local set of conditions represented to you by mass, and space, and your so-called Euclidean geometry. And because of this we speak to you about cycles and of timing our campaign. We are dealing with a local set of parameters, and it is in this way that we communicate with you that we bridge the gap between our way of thinking and your way of thinking. There is a level on which the talk of cycles and anything of campaigns is, if anything, only partially so for this is a level of which we are far more aware than you: that all things are truly one; that all cycles truly become circles; that all corners truly become rounded into one unending globe of unity—infinite, invisible, eternal, and containing all that there is.

These concepts are not graspable by your people, and so we deal with the local, understandable frame of reference and say that you are coming to the end of a cycle and that we are attempting to help those of you who wish to be helped at this time to make progress on your cycle so that you may spiral upward in the great dance along the spiritual path. To understand your place in the universe at this time is very, very critical. Because you are within a physical body, it is important that you deal in a balanced manner with your physical existence with the demands and the responsibilities of the physical life. It is very difficult, and purposely so, to balance the physical existence and spiritual seeking. It is to test your ability to do this that you have entered this sphere. It is a great mistake, my friends, to care too much for the physical body and its needs.

Hatonn wanted to share information with this group about our cycles of growth. They began by saying within our universe there is a local phenomenon which is known to us as time and a local set of conditions represented to us by mass, and space, and Euclidean geometry, and because of this they speak to us about cycles and of timing of their campaign, for they are dealing with a local set of parameters, so it is in this way that they communicate with us that we bridge the gap between their way of thinking and our way of thinking, for there is a level upon which the talk of cycles and anything of campaigns is partially so, for this is a level of which they are more aware than we: that all things are one; that all cycles become circles; that all corners become rounded into one unending globe of unity—infinite, invisible, eternal, and containing all that there is. Hatonn continued by saying these concepts are not understood by our people, and so they deal with the local frame of reference and say that we are coming to the end of a cycle, and that they are attempting to help those of us who wish to be helped to make progress on our cycle so that we may spiral upward in the great dance along the spiritual path, for to understand our place in the universe at this time is critical because we are within a physical body, so it is important that we deal in a balanced manner with the responsibilities of the physical life since it is difficult to balance the physical existence and spiritual seeking, for it is to test our ability to do this that we have entered this sphere, but it is a mistake to care too much for our physical body and its needs. In 4.20, Ra said that all things are one:

The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is Love/Light, Light/Love, the Infinite Creator.

Yet, we say to you also, beware of the opposite. Do not care too little for your physical vehicle and its needs. You must look upon your physical vehicle as just that: it is a vehicle. It is functioning well for you, and like a good fruit tree it has grown; it has come into its youth; it has borne truth. Perhaps it has grown a little gnarled, a little bent, and as the years go on it will become increasingly gnarled, and it will have served its time. All of its fruit will have been given up, and it will be cut down. This is your physical body. You may accept it as a good and faithful servant. The circumstances of your being here, of the type and condition of your life, are intended and are offered to you so that you may take your conditions and learn. You may take your body and be of service to others. Your body has hands with which to reach out to others; a mouth with which to smile, my friends; a mind to function well for you and to think well of others. It is not you, but it is no stranger to you. It is yours for a time. Keep this in balance, neither rejecting or being overly fond of those portions of your identity which are only temporary.

In meditation, seek your permanent identity. Within you there is a perfect body. And that body is your spirit. It is not a body as you would think of a body. And yet it is the ultimate house of your soul. To penetrate upward through the various shells of being to the final center of yourself is the goal of meditation. For within that final center is your link with all that there is. We are urging you, shall we say, to do your homework at this time. The joy, the state of joy, my friends, that you left to come into the physical existence is very greatly needed among your people at this time. And how few there are that understand that joy is the natural state of existence for each of those who dwell upon the surface of your sphere.

Hatonn went on to say beware of the opposite, and do not care too little for our physical vehicle and its needs, for we must look upon our physical vehicle as just that: it is a vehicle, and it is functioning well for us, and like a good fruit tree it has grown; it has come into its youth; it has borne truth, but it has grown a little gnarled, a little bent, and as the years go on it will become increasingly gnarled, and it will have served its time, so all of its fruit will have been given up, and it will be cut down, for this is our physical body, and we may accept it as a faithful servant, and the circumstances of our being here are offered to us so that we may take our conditions and learn, and we may take our body and be of service to others because our body has hands with which to reach out to others; a mouth with which to smile; a mind to function well for us and to think well of others, but it is not a stranger to us, for it is ours for a time, so keep this in balance, neither rejecting or being overly fond of those portions of our identity which are only temporary. Then Hatonn said in meditation, seek our permanent identity, for within us there is a perfect body, and that body is our spirit, but it is not a body as we would think of a body, yet it is the ultimate house of our soul, and to penetrate upward through the various shells of being to the final center of ourself is the goal of meditation, for within that final center is our link with all that there is, and we are to do our homework at this time, for the state of joy that we left to come into the physical existence is needed among our people at this time, and how few there are that understand that joy is the natural state of existence for each of those us that dwell upon the surface of our sphere. On February 15, 2023, Q’uo spoke of joy as being a natural state of our being:

Tonight, you ask about the spirit portion of your mind/body/spirit complex, and how it might be seen as that which partakes more fully and freely, of what you call joy. The joy of being. The joy of knowing your connection to the One Infinite Creator. The joy of knowing your connection with all of your brothers and sisters within the third density, who are also manifestations of the One Infinite Creator. This is a kind of knowing that comes from the heart of your being that is connected to the Love of the One Infinite Creator that has created the universe around you out of its Love, focused into Light. Your spirit is that which partakes of the nature of creation as being a portion of the One Creator.

Your spirit complex is that which is the least distorted of your mind, body, and spirit; that which partakes then of the unity of all creation more fully. This type of spirit that you feel and know to be the heart of your being, is that which you are expressing when you feel the experience of joy. The joy that all is One, that you are part of that oneness, of that unity, in every moment of your existence. This type of knowing of joy could be seen as—we correct this instrument—could be seen as an expression of what you would call ecstasy, so that you are realizing more and more of your true nature in every moment that you feel the experience of unity, of Love, of Light, of the Creator being everywhere around you, within you, and without you. There is nothing but the One Creator. And to know that in any degree, in any time period, as you would call it, is that which is most fulfilling.

You see, my friends, you are not on the same order of the apple tree. You are not out in the weather. You do not grow, wither and die. You are a consciousness that is not born and does not die. You are joy. To touch this place within yourself is all-important at this time, for if you can but make contact with your higher self, you can be of great comfort and of great service to many in the days to come. For in the days to come, as we have said many times, there will be many who are afraid, and many who have put off their voyage of self-discovery until the very last minute and who, when they finally realize that they must now decide who they are, will be absolutely terrified. One person, who is sure of who they are, and is radiating the joy of that knowledge, and who can reach out with their Light will be of infinite service, as people always have been when they are able to shine with the Light and the Love of the Creator.

Hatonn continued by saying that we are not on the same order of the apple tree, for we are not out in the weather to grow, wither, and die, so we are a consciousness that is not born and does not die, but we are joy, and to touch this place within ourself is important at this time, for if we can make contact with our higher self, we can be of great service to many in the days to come when there will be many who are afraid, and many who have put off their voyage of self-discovery until the last minute, and who, when they finally realize that they must now decide who they are, will be terrified, but one person, who is sure of who they are, and is radiating the joy of that knowledge, and who can reach out with their Light will be of infinite service, as people always have been when they are able to shine with the Light and the Love of the Creator. On February 25, 2023, Q’uo said that each of us has contact with our higher self:

For each of you is the One Creator. Each of you has contact with your higher self. Each of you has a pathway to the realization of your own perfection, and it is buried deep within the heart of your being where the seeking for it may be accomplished when it is recognized that this is the nature of your being. You look beyond the seeming separation. You look beyond illusion. You look beyond the veil of forgetting. You pierce the obstructive and obfuscating qualities of the illusion around you and within your mental complex, and move thereby into your spirit, and look there to find the true nature of your being.

Before I leave this instrument, I would like to open this meeting to questions.

M: Last week you briefly discussed the Bermuda Triangle. Can you give any more explanation on what is causing it, where people are going—disappearing in that area and in other areas that are similar?

Hatonn: I have no objection to sharing certain descriptions with you through this instrument as to the supposed location of people who disappear under these circumstances. However, the descriptions are very, very rough and bear little resemblance to the full truth due to the limitations of the instrument’s understanding and the limits of your present technology. In the first place, many of those who supposedly disappeared are merely on the bottom of the ocean. However, there have been some anomalistic cases where beings, and in some cases inanimate objects were, shall we say, bent through a dimension of space/time which is not space/time, but which is an analogous substance which interacts with your space/time to form, shall we say, interpenetrating spheres.

These are local shunts, or time displacement tunnels, as you might call them, developed and/or discovered many centuries ago. Or in some cases, they are simply anomalistic occurrences of a natural type but of the same order. In some cases, the objects are simply crushed by the excessive power of the transformation. But in most instances, the objects are transformed into another type of vibration which, while not at all equal to your higher planes, are none the less congruent or tangent to these planes in such a way that beings can no longer exist in this local time and space, but instead exist in what you might call an alternate reality, though we do not like this term. It is as though you take a maypole with many colors of ribbon and plaited the ribbon in an infinitely yet completely regular complexity so that many realities interpenetrate. Each of these realities have many planes. The only difference, my friends, is that there is no maypole, and this we cannot explain to you. Our reluctance was in talking about the precise structure or methodology of constructing such areas because this type of power would again be wasted by your peoples if at this time if it were rediscovered. There has been enough waste already.

M asked the question: “Last week you briefly discussed the Bermuda Triangle. Can you give any more explanation on what is causing it, where people are going—disappearing in that area and in other areas that are similar?” Hatonn began by saying they have no objection to sharing certain descriptions with us through Carla as to the supposed location of people who disappear under these circumstances, but the descriptions are rough and bear little resemblance to the truth due to the limitations of Carla’s understanding and the limits of our technology, so many of those who disappeared are on the bottom of the ocean, but there have been some anomalistic cases where beings and inanimate objects were bent through a dimension of space/time which is not space/time, but which is an analogous substance which interacts with our space/time to form interpenetrating spheres. Then Hatonn said these are time displacement tunnels developed many centuries ago, or in some cases they are anomalistic occurrences of a natural type but of the same order, and in some cases the objects are crushed by the excessive power of the transformation, but in most instances, the objects are transformed into another type of vibration which, while not equal to our higher planes, is congruent to these planes in such a way that beings can no longer exist in this local time and space, but instead exist in what we might call an alternate reality, for it is as though we took a maypole with many colors of ribbon and plaited the ribbon in an infinitely yet completely regular complexity so that many realities interpenetrate, and each of these realities has many planes, so the only difference is that there is no maypole, and this they cannot explain to us, for their reluctance was in talking about the method of constructing such areas because this type of power would again be wasted by our people if it were rediscovered at this time. On March 7, 2002, Q’uo described the nature of the alternate reality that we are moving into:

It is truly said that heaven is near at hand. It is necessary only to claim that awareness in order to begin, as the one known as K has said, to participate in an alternate reality, a reality of concept, intent, and desire. An element of your universe would not be able to express within the metaphysical universe, yet those within the metaphysical universes are able to express through the density you live in.

Consequently, we ask each to remember, as endeavors are made, the truth of the energy flow concerning metaphysical law: it is not that which is of this world. Rather it is as if one planted a tree with the roots in heaven and the branches touching the Earth through people, through works of art, through every channel of living energy that has been created by thought, whether it be the original Thought of unconditional Love which is the infinite Creator, or whether it be that which is produced by the co-Creator that each of you is.

Does this answer your question?

M: Yes.

N: I have a question. When I channel, it seems that I can usually pick up the contact fairly easy, and then after a short period of time—most of the time it is a short period of time—I just seem to lose it. I get the basic contact, or thoughts, but I can’t seem to carry it for any length, but I’d like to. Do you know why I do this or have any suggestions to help me with channeling?

Hatonn: I am aware of your question. When an instrument such as yourself reaches the level of ability of which you speak, they have two choices. They can either remain at that level, or they can consciously work to extend or to enlarge their ability to sustain an image. Basically, those who succeed in becoming a more extended type of channel are those who are willing to build up their confidence enough to continue sustaining an image beyond the first completed thought or image. There are several ways in which to encourage yourself in this service to others. Perhaps one of the best ways is to encourage within yourself any tendency to do spiritual reading or meditation upon a spiritual thought. This, shall we say, stimulates your own higher self and provides our contact with more fuel, if you would call it that, for our own thoughts to mesh and work with.

This type of channeling that we are using with your group is not pure channeling. Very seldom do we achieve anything like a pure contact. It is a joint effort between the channel and our thought wave. The more open the channel is to being used to saying things without regard to their sense of what will come next, the more confidence the channel has that something will work out in the end, the more extended our contact through anyone channel can be. There is a delicate balance, of course, between being confident enough to sustain a contact and being so confident that you lose a contact while attempting to speak your own thoughts. However, we do not feel that you would ever have this problem due to your temperament and nature which is not prone to this type of energy.

N’s question was: “When I channel, it seems that I can usually pick up the contact fairly easy, and then after a short period of time—most of the time it is a short period of time—I just seem to lose it. I get the basic contact, or thoughts, but I can’t seem to carry it for any length, but I’d like to. Do you know why I do this or have any suggestions to help me with channeling?” Now Hatonn said when an instrument such as yourself reaches the level of ability of which you speak, they have two choices: they can remain at that level, or they can work to enlarge their ability to sustain an image, so those who succeed in becoming a more extended type of channel are those who are willing to build up their confidence enough to continue sustaining an image beyond the first completed thought or image, and there are several ways in which to encourage yourself in this service to others, for one of the best ways is to encourage within yourself any tendency to meditate upon a spiritual thought because this stimulates your higher self and provides our contact with more fuel for our thoughts to work with. Hatonn continued by saying this type of channeling, that we are using with your group, is not pure channeling because very seldom do we achieve anything like a pure contact, for it is a joint effort between the channel and our thought wave, so the more open the channel is to being used to saying things without regard to their sense of what will come next, the more confidence the channel has that something will work out in the end, and the more extended our contact through anyone channel can be, but there is a delicate balance between being confident enough to sustain a contact and being so confident that you lose a contact while attempting to speak your own thoughts, but we do not feel that you would ever have this problem due to your temperament and nature which is not prone to this type of energy. On February 22, 2020, Q’uo spoke of how we can use meditation to contact our higher self and receive spiritual information in dreams:

Thus, when you feel the dreams that you speak of, look then to the heart of the dream within the meditative state to see what that dream is really speaking to you about. What does it represent? How literally can you take it? How symbolically should you take it? Use your intuition and your intelligence together to fashion a kind of response that then perhaps may be able to become a query that you ask your higher self in meditation or in dreams to make a response to.

If you are successful in convincing your higher self of the need for this information, then there will be transmitted to you what you may call a download which reveals the steps necessary to take in order to make such dreams come true.

Therefore, we simply urge you, in addition to silent meditation, to put aside a few minutes as often as possible for spiritual reading or meditation upon a thought or an image of a spiritual nature. Then we simply suggest that as you pray that you may be of service to others, you then relax and have a quiet confidence that this prayer will be answered. It will take a while for you to build up to longer messages, yet, as you seek so shall you find. And this is true of this desire to serve as well as any other desire that you might have. We are at all times with you and encourage you in any way that we can. And above all, we wish to express our gratitude that you wish to be of service in this way.

Now Hatonn said we urge you, in addition to silent meditation, to put aside a few minutes as often as possible for spiritual reading or meditation upon a thought of a spiritual nature, and then we suggest that as you pray that you may be of service to others, you then relax and have a quiet confidence that this prayer will be answered, for it will take a while for you to build up to longer messages, yet as you seek so shall you find, and this is true of this desire to serve as well as any other desire that you might have, so we are with you and encourage you in any way that we can, and we wish to express our gratitude that you wish to be of service in this way. On May 19, 1985, L/Leema said that as we seek we shall find all things are within our being:

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.

N: Thank you.

Hatonn: I am with the instrument. Is there another question?

I am with you. It has been said that we are a voice of Love. And let me tell you, my friends, our voice is millions strong. And our voice is heard by more and more of your people. We thank you for letting us speak among you and share with you our thoughts. We ask you to lift up your voice also, for each voice that speaks of Love and Light to your people is a voice of great worth and of great beauty. Seek that Love and Light within yourself, my friends, and then share it. I leave you in the Creator’s Light and in the Creator’s Love. I am one of Hatonn. Adonai.

This morning Karma and I were joined by her brother, Kevin, and we all spent the morning with my Aunt Margaret. We spent a couple of hours just talking about the times when we all had been together for different reasons. Margaret is still having difficulty hearing and has to ask that some thoughts be repeated. Then Kevin, Karma, and I went out to share lunch together.

This afternoon Kevin and I returned to visit with Margaret as Karma had a doctor’s appointment. When she returned, we had one of the nurses take a group picture of Margaret, Kevin, and me with each of our cell phones. After spending a little more time with Margaret, Karma gave me a ride back to the hotel.

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

August 8

Peace And Joy Undisturbed

I am that principle that is the divine Love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you and bless you in the full consciousness of unconditional Love.

Negative thinking lies all about you. You do not have to partake in it. When there is something which crosses your consciousness and turns the mind to negative emotion, move back into an awareness of the infinite Love that is the principle of your life and know that the Christ within may find a positive answer in each and every situation; may find a way to increase Light rather than discourage Light; to find the words to heal and not to wound; to find the compassion that aids those who are bothersome rather than ignoring such entities.

The living Spirit of Jesus the Christ is available at the present moment and at each moment of the infinity of creation. It is the gift of Jesus the Christ to all who follow in His footsteps.

No matter what you may suffer today, cast your mind always upon the positive; upon the loving and compassionate aspects of those things which are occurring, and you shall find your peace and joy undisturbed in the heart of your being, as your being speaks the truth of unconditional Love.

In that Love and peace we leave you. 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 12, 1976:

(Don channeling)

Hatonn: I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. It is a very great privilege to be with you. I have been observing [inaudible]. We are aware of all of your activities, all of your thoughts, which may surprise you or it may not. For as you know, we have been interested not only in your planet, but select groups [inaudible]. We’re concerned at this time about certain activities upon your planet. We’re concerned at this time that certain information reaches your people.

We’re concerned. We are helpless, you might say, in some respects, for we can only give information in certain limited ways. We give information through channels such as this one simply because the channel is receptive and has allowed the information to pass through him. Had he not allowed this, we could not give this information. There would be no way available [inaudible], for this is the desire of our [inaudible]. That, and only that which is desired, will be given. Only that which is desired will be received. For this reason, those upon your planet will be receiving, as always, precisely what they desire. It is a problem, we realize, to give precisely what is desired to those who desire it and not infringe upon those who do not desire what we offer. We have to offer what we understand to be a truth/beauty far beyond that which is experienced upon your planet. Yet, we can only offer this in a very limited way.

My friends, free will must be at all times criteria for our communicating, for our contacts, for any of our people’s contacts. For this reason, we are dependent upon those upon your surface who would reach out for us. My friends, we have much to do, and yet, it is difficult, in a sense, for your peoples to understand the simple truths that we bring forward to you. These simple truths, my friends, will, as it is said in your holy works, set you free. For you are truly in bondage: bondage to an idea that is false. An idea which the people of your planet have clung to steadfastly for many, many of the generations. An idea which led them down a road of confusion. An idea that brought them to the present state, which is in any terms, quite [inaudible].

We implore you to act with us to help those who seek our help. And yet, we realize that you yourself have limitations and barriers. We feel sad that these limitations must always be upon us. And yet, these limitations are the essence of our being here, for without them you would not exist. These limitations, my friends, are the essence of the creation. [Inaudible] for in the Creator’s total understanding, It is creating a perfect balance, a perfect freedom of experience. For, my friends, even though that which you experience may seem to be far from what you desire, it is precisely what you desire. You would not be experiencing it, my friends, if you did not desire it. You desire it for purposes of growth. You desire it for other purposes. And yet, it is the essence of your life. Join with us to improve that essence at as fast a rate as you can possibly afford. This is our mission: to aid you on that path at an ever-increasing rate and an ever-increasing understanding. Give to us your time in meditation. We shall wait for all of your people as [inaudible] as yourselves to reach that which you desire: a state of understanding that lasts, a harmony, a love [inaudible].

It has been a great privilege speaking through this instrument, my friends. I will transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. My friends, as you endeavor to seek out knowledge and truths which would assist you in your growth and in your ability to assist others in theirs, it is necessary that you recognize that that which you seek shall only come as quickly as you, shall we say, desire it. Yet, my friends, what we mean is that with the effort you put forth you determine the speed in which you receive the assistance which you seek. There are many upon your planet, and, indeed, you know many of them, who would wish to gain knowledge and assistance, yet who are, shall we say, unwilling to follow, shall we say, the divine bartering system. That which you receive, my friends, you are deserving of through the efforts that you put forth. And that which you receive is not to be hoarded, it is to be shared. Yet, it is only to be shared with those who are seeking that knowledge. You need not be concerned with seeking out those to who you may render your assistance, for as you have seen, they have come to you.

And as you develop, and as you become, shall we say, the instrument of greater knowledge, then greater numbers shall seek from you that which you have attained. And we wish to stress that you make it clear to those who would come to you for assistance that you are indeed willing to share with them that which you have come to know, but that they also must be willing to share with others, put forth the efforts on their own to gain the knowledge that they seek. And as you are aware, the effort which is of greatest importance is that dedication to the practice and proper utilization of your daily meditation. As you have experienced, through your meditation you gain the unspoken words, the unwritten wisdom. And through your meditations, you gain the strength to persevere in addressing those tests which befall you.

And as many of you have come to know, the greater your desire and your effort to attain the highest form of knowledge available, the greater the test. But all things, indeed, as you would recognize it, has a price, my friends. Even that which you seek of a spiritual nature. All things must be attained in a way that balance can be maintained in the universe. To seek knowledge is to ask to receive energies, and if you draw forth from the universe any energy then you must be willing to send forth energy to replace it. My friends, you can leave no voids in your life, or in your efforts, or in your attainments. You are the master of your existence. You are the co-Creator of your universe. And that which you do must be done completely, for each, shall we say, error which you commit there is repercussion of a negative nature. And for each right that you perform there is the repercussion of a positive nature. So therefore, whatever energy comes to you, comes due to your projection of like energy. And as it flows throughout this universe, you must be, shall we say, open to allow the cycles of energies to continue flowing freely so that they may be shared by all.

As many of the teachers upon your Earth have told their students, the greatest step towards attaining that which they seek is to bring in focus the discipline of one’s own thoughts and actions. To think properly is to create properly. To think unrighteously is to create havoc within your universe. These laws you cannot transmute. These laws are those which you must live by throughout this existence and all others which you have experienced and shall experience. As those of you here have attained certain levels of knowledge, it is your responsibility to share them when given the opportunity. And it is your responsibility to seek out greater levels so that your assistance can be of more benefit. Yet, it is your choice whether to do so. There is no energy within the universe capable of overcoming, or controlling in any way, your actions. Only you are the creator. You may accept the influences of your co-Creators. That is also your choice.

As this group proceeds to grow and to learn, it shall become evident, step-by-step, to each individual, their, shall we say, mission within this organization. Indeed, my friends, you are of great importance to those around you. And this position which you have requested, in one form or another, is one which shall bring upon you from time to time the scorn of your fellow friends. For you must recognize, my friends, there shall continually be that, shall we call it, balance, between those energies of the positive nature and those of the negative. And if you are recognized by an individual as being the opposite of what they feel that they are, they shall fear you through their lack of understanding and attempt to bring upon you an air of nonacceptance through their reflections upon you. Bless these individuals, seek not to retaliate. But seek, shall we say, to remain segregated from those influences as much as possible.

As you endeavor to do that which you feel is of importance to you and to your universe, recognize that you are the individual, and that you are the whole. Seek not to know the fallacies of your universe for, indeed, they are not existent if you do not recognize them. The plane of existence on which you are presently living, as many times we have stated, is strictly an illusion projected by the thought patterns of its inhabitants. It is your, shall we say, birthright to create it in whatever way, shape or form that you desire. It is within you to accept or reject the outer manifestations upon this plane of existence. Recognize that which is of benefit to you, and accept not that which is of detriment to you. This is indeed difficult, yet it can be attained. As you seek out the Creator within you and join with the Creator and use your [inaudible].

I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am once again with this instrument. We are unable to achieve contact with either of the instruments that we have attempted to communicate through due to different circumstances within each. And, as always, we recognize the freedom of choice in each individual. We would ask that you would allow our energies to flow and our Love to [inaudible]. As we leave you, know that we shall remain with you at all times. We are aware of the difficulties, and we shall work upon our plane of existence to assist you, each of you in your hour of need. Yet, it is you, as we have stated, who have manifested the difficulties that are experienced. It is you, as the Creator of your universe, that contains the power [inaudible] through conscious projection of your creative ability. I leave you now in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Carla channeling)

Don: [A question was asked but not recorded.]

Hatonn: [Inaudible]… is of a somewhat unpredictable nature, although we feel that it is still highly probable that there will be what you call earthquake activity in the area of California and the sea on the date we have mentioned, because the Earth, as you might say, is angry, and violence is very probable. It is possible, due to the increase of what you would call consciousness-raising activity directed toward alleviation of this difficulty, that it may either be put off or its intensity diminished. We do expect this activity, but nothing is ever hopeless. And your efforts to send light can and will help.

Have you further questions?

Don: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: The area around Los Angeles has a very high probability, in the area of 85 to 100%. This probability remains high. It is at this point at about 65% and climbs steadily to 85% during the next two years. It reaches 90% within one day and remains at that level for a period of seven of your days.

Don: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: It reaches 90% on the date which we have given you, which is the September [3 or 30.] It remains at the level of 90% for seven of your days. From that point on it is gradually more difficult to judge the percentage of the possibility, for it is a high probability that it will already have happened by that time.

Don: What magnitude [inaudible] on the Richter Scale?

Hatonn: We are aware of your measurements, but we are wary of giving you these measurements due to the fact that depending upon the consciousness of Light groups such as yours, the intensity may be [inaudible]. Your scales may indicate as high as between a 7 and an 8.

Don: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: We are sorry that this instrument’s understanding of geography is limited. There is a probability that extends in sort of a triangle shape from a line somewhat north of Los Angeles extending inward, cutting a long wedge of the south and out to sea south of Los Angeles and cutting upwards through the ocean to form the third side of the triangle. This is the area of greatest tension. Precisely where it will happen, we cannot state. Again, there are probabilities. The highest probability, which ranks perhaps 60%, is that the worst shocks will occur somewhat south. There is a probability of perhaps 30% that it will occur to the greatest extent on the northern line and there is perhaps a 10% chance that the activity will be at its most intense at sea.

Don: How many days before the event will we be able to [inaudible]?

Hatonn: We are having difficulty, for we have difficulty with your time. Our accuracy varies. To be able to state at any time before an event actually occurs upon your plane, it will simply be a matter of chance, for we are constantly adjusting our understanding to your local time system. Therefore, we cannot state as gospel, as you might say, ahead of time. Although it is possible that we might be accurate ahead of time, our predictions are just that. And our predictions—much like your weather reports based upon fact. For us to be able to intercept in actuality in advance of this happening on your plane, it would be necessary for us to be in perfect coordination with those planes which are immediately adjacent to your physical plane. And we have the same problems with those planes of your system which are not bound as we do with the physical plane, in that they are local and dependent upon their time systems. Within those planes of your system which are not bound by time, this event is not also bound by time and therein lies the difficulty.

Have I by any chance made myself clear enough for your understanding?

Don: Yes. I would like to ask one more question. You have indicated that these cataclysmic effects are not completely desired. Can’t this be viewed as a beneficial catalyst in the ultimate advancement of the Earth’s population?

Hatonn: That which is necessary and that which is desirable are not necessarily the same. That your people must go through an inharmonious adjustment to their environment may be necessary. Yet, harmony is a desirable fact and one which is more natural to spiritual growth.

Don: My question is, is it not possible that the desired harmony be achieved more rapidly [inaudible]?

Hatonn: Are you speaking of this particular instance?

Don: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: My brother, what is happening upon your planet now is what is necessary and, therefore, it is desirable. However, the physical plane is most effective when the catalyst of the physical problems is worked out entirely within the individual consciousness of each who dwells within the planet. When each who dwells within the physical plane is dealing with and coping with their path in terms of physical problems and difficulties, the harmony of the planetary sphere is maintained. This is indeed the most rapid and the most desirable rate of growth when the individual is growing at the same rate as the natural environment is growing. These cataclysms are simply evidence that the personal growth of those who dwell upon the planet have not kept pace with the natural environment’s growth.

Therefore, the entry into the next vibration has become difficult, making it necessary for the inharmony between consciousness and environmental consciousness to be alleviated by catastrophes such as the one you are experiencing. Certainly, these drastic difficulties will cause some consciousnesses to open at last and thereby graduate, for drastic circumstances do encourage rapid growth. However, growth would have been much more rapid if it had been chosen on the personal level in harmony with the environment in the first place. This is why we feel that it is not particularly desirous that these difficult conditions prevail. However, we accept the necessity of it at this time due to the consciousness of your people.

Don’s question was inaudible, so Hatonn said that what is happening upon our planet is what is necessary and desirable, but the physical plane is most effective when the catalyst of the physical problems is worked out entirely within the individual consciousness of each of us who dwells within the planet, and when we are dealing with our path in terms of physical problems and difficulties, the harmony of the planetary sphere is maintained, so this this is the most rapid and desirable rate of growth when we are growing at the same rate as the natural environment is growing, for these cataclysms are evidence that our personal growth, as one of those who dwell upon the planet, has not kept pace with the natural environment’s growth. Hatonn continued by saying that the entry into the next vibration has become difficult, making it necessary for the disharmony between consciousness and environmental consciousness to be alleviated by catastrophes such as the one we are experiencing, and these difficulties will cause some consciousnesses to open at last and graduate, for drastic circumstances do encourage rapid growth, but growth would have been more rapid if it had been chosen on the personal level in harmony with the environment, so this is why we feel that it is not desirable that these difficult conditions prevail, but we accept the necessity of it at this time due to the consciousness of our people. On September 8, 1979, Hatonn spoke of the probability of our planet’s population being able to graduate into the next vibration:

It has not been written in stone, shall we say. The future is open and can go along an infinite number of lines. Thus, we ask your prayers in each present moment, at the end of each meditation, for the peace of the world. We would like to see it last long enough to fulfill its journey as a planet into the next vibration. Then those among its people who must repeat again this particular vibration may peacefully leave and do so, leaving the planet for those to rebuild who are ready for the vibration of love.

Questioner: [Inaudible]… seems to me that the only hope for a relatively large percentage [inaudible]… is to experience the cataclysmic transition. Am I correct in that [inaudible].

Hatonn: There is always a chance that those who are lost will find their way home. And this is why great efforts are being made by the Confederation and others to encourage shepherds to go out among the lost and do what they can to brief those, as you put it, on the fence into the Light. Your question is difficult for us to respond to in your language, but we will attempt with this answer. Those who dwell upon your planet have, whether they will or not, come to a time which is irrevocable. This is the time that they will either graduate or not. Your environmental difficulties are inevitable. They occur whether or not they do any good. They do not occur in order to give lessons, although they will certainly do some good. This is simply an adjustment period. For the most part, those who will graduate are already awake, for, you see, this is very late. We have been speaking to people for many years now. Most of those who we could collect have been collected. We understand the thrust of your question, and we do assure that the catastrophes that your people will experience are at the most basic level part of harmony and part of a goodness and not to be feared. For…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: Does this answer this question?

Don: What can people like us do in light of this transition to best aid the master plan?

Hatonn: As you know, we cannot guide you in your day-to-day choices of activity. We can only encourage you to meditate and seek guidance from your higher selves, for each of you was sent by your higher selves with a job to do. You have the means to do it. And you certainly have our appreciation for your desire to help us help you. The answers will come in meditation. You know that you do have help from those upon the higher planes of your planet. We have long encouraged you to think of yourselves as shepherds and channels. And certainly, we can say this is the key as service is always the key. But beyond that we cannot guide you, for that would be an infringement upon your free will. This is, above all things, your planet. You have incarnated here specifically to take that responsibility upon yourselves and to make choices for yourselves, to render your personal service.

We say only to you that we are completely with you and send our Light and our Love to you. You must be aware that our basic desire is to tell this planet that Love is all that there is; to let this planet know that the creation is the Creator’s and that many, many within its infinity praise the Creator’s name. An earlier voice than ours, that of the master known as Jesus, instructed His followers to go to the ends of the Earth and tell all that they met about the Truth. This is time honored, and we subscribe to it. We are instruments of the Creator, and so are you. We have our limitations, and so do you. But your limits are far, far more capacious than ours, for you have chosen to incarnate, and this gives you greater scope and greater responsibilities.

Don asked: “What can people like us do in light of this transition to best aid the master plan?” Then Hatonn said they cannot guide us in our day-to-day choices of activity, so they can only encourage us to meditate and seek guidance from our higher selves, for each of us was sent by our higher selves with a job to do, and we have the means to do it, so the answers will come in meditation, for we have help from those upon the higher planes of our planet, for they have encouraged us to think of ourselves as shepherds and channels, and this is the key as service is always the key, but beyond that they cannot guide us, for that would be an infringement upon our free will, for this is our planet, and we have incarnated here to take that responsibility upon ourselves and to make choices for ourselves to render our service. Hatonn went on to say that they are with us and send their Light and Love to us, so we must be aware that their desire is to tell this planet that Love is all that there is; to let this planet know that the creation is the Creator’s, and that many within its infinity praise the Creator’s name, and an earlier voice than theirs, that of the master Jesus, instructed His followers to go to the ends of the Earth and tell all that they met about the Truth, so this is time honored, and they subscribe to it, for they are instruments of the Creator, and so are we, but they have their limitations, and so do we, but our limits are broader than theirs, for we have chosen to incarnate, and this gives us greater responsibilities. On February 20, 2000, Q’uo spoke of ways that we can seek guidance:

There is never a desert that is too wide for faith to cross. In faith, then, when you wish to seek guidance, you may approach this search in various ways. This instrument, for instance, allows guidance to come to her by praying to the Holy Spirit. This guide, which she thinks of as an aspect of her higher self and which she objectifies as a portion of the Creator, is a projection of that essence within the deep mind that can be called guidance. Therefore, to this entity does not come a conversation but, rather, a feeling, an intuition, a sense of rightness. For this instrument this degree of clarity is completely sufficient and satisfactory. For many others there is a need to objectify guidance in persons and, thusly, many entities seek their guidance in the form of guides. Again, all that there is, is one, and in many ways and on the deeper levels all that is outside of the physical being is a projected portion of that physical being. If all things are one, then all that an entity sees is part of that entity and, in one sense, a projection of that entity. Each of you, you see, lives in a complete and unique universe, a creation of your own. It is slightly different but definitely different from that universe of each and every other spark of the infinite Creator that has been sent forth. As this instrument was saying earlier, there are non-religious ways to set about discovering more about the guides that bless the entity with Love and the desire to be of help in a spiritual or metaphysical sense.

May we assist you further through this instrument?

Don: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: I leave you. I am privileged to be using this instrument and we do thank the one known as Carla. We are with you. We are your friends. Adonai vasu. I am Hatonn.

This morning, I completed the watering of the last two of my gardens that I began yesterday. Then, at 6:30 am I drove to the airport and parked Stanley in long term parking. After checking in and going through TSA I boarded a flight to Denver as the first part of my journey to Ogallala, Nebraska to be with my aunt Margaret for what are likely the last days of her life according to what my cousin, Karma, told me yesterday on our phone call. There was a two-hour layover, so I decided to have lunch at one of the small cafes. There was a three hour layover.

This afternoon I boarded a flight to Kearney, Nebraska where I rented a car to drive to Ogallala. I registered at the Best Western Hotel and made a call to my cousin to see when the best time to visit Margaret was.

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

August 7

This World Of Wonder

We are of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and we greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

Before you lies the vista of this fair and lovely day, soft and shimmering with summer colors, with the sweet exhaustion of heat and the generous beauty of nature’s palette of many colors. Consider how you will approach this the creation of the Father through which you walk.

There are three ways to walk in this world of wonder. Most walk with their eyes averted from the beauty entirely. These are those who have not yet learned how precious the beauty of the creation is.

There are those who seize the beauty and hold it to them, counting each sight as a possession and rejoicing withal in the wonderful collection of sensual experiences. These are the takers, those who feel that all of creation is made for them and as a king or queen, so they declare sovereignty over all that they see. Even in their appreciation there is ownership.

There are those who, seeing all the beauties of the evanescent passage of time, give glory and thanks to the One which created them all and which created the appreciator as well. This appreciator is not the Lord of that which he surveys, but its shepherd and its servant; its trustee, if you will, as it is held in trust for generations to come.

Open your eyes and see the beauty, but see it as one who gives to beauty the glory of Jesus the Christ, that you may treat all aright and not be ashamed before your children and your children’s children. For they, too, need beauty.

We leave you in peace and in Love, both now and evermore. 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 November 28, 1976:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet each of you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am privileged to be with you this evening. Before we begin, we would like to spend a few moments balancing the harmonies within your group in order to more easily tune ourselves to your needs at this time. If you relax, we will work with you at this time.

[Pause]

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have been among your people for many of your years. And our purpose in your skies is becoming known to more and more of your people. This is our objective. Not in forcing our purpose upon the people of your planet but only in making it known what their purpose might be. To those who wonder what would bring a more advanced race, as you might call us, to do such standoffish and unrewarding work among less advanced people, we can only say that our peoples no longer need to employ their time and their talent in order to gain what you call money so that we may live. We are, as you might say, independently wealthy. We have all that we need. And yet, as all conscious beings do, we have the need to grow. We cannot grow in power or riches. We can grow only in knowledge. We have found that this growth in knowledge is only possible through our sharing the knowledge that we have with you. We, therefore, need you in order to grow.

It is only proper that we should meet each other, for all of creation is based upon giving one element to another. All of the creation, which you may observe in your daily life as the seasons change, is a balance, a harmony, and a flux, one element giving opportunity for the other to flourish. This giving, this growing, this knowledge is within you, is within each of you. Yet, my friends, so many of your people have been taught by the society in which they live that they must rush blindly from one experience to another, filling in any space of time that is left empty by another experience. Thus, the flow, the harmony, the balance of your own understanding is blocked while constantly blocking your own receptions, for you are constantly thinking, you are constantly reacting.

Hatonn wanted to share the reason that they had contacted our people. They began by saying that we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have been among your people for many years, and our purpose in your skies is becoming known to more of your people, and this is our objective–not in forcing our purpose upon the people of your planet–but only in making it known what their purpose might be, for to those who wonder what would bring a more advanced race to do such unrewarding work among less advanced peoples, we can say that our people no longer need to employ their time and their talent in order to gain money so that we may live because we are independently wealthy, so we have all that we need, yet as all conscious beings do, we have the need to grow, but we cannot grow in power or riches, for we can grow only in knowledge, so we have found that this growth in knowledge is only possible through our sharing the knowledge that we have with you, so we need you in order to grow. Hatonn went on to say it is proper that we should meet each other, for all of creation is based upon giving one element to another, and all of the creation, which you may observe in your daily life as the seasons change, is a balance and a harmony of one element giving opportunity for the other to flourish, and this giving, this growing, this knowledge is within you, is within each of you, yet so many of your people have been taught by the society in which they live that they must rush blindly from one experience to another, filling in any space of time that is left empty by another experience, so the harmony and the balance of your understanding is blocked while constantly blocking your receptions, for you are constantly thinking, and you are constantly reacting. On September 19, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the problems that come with our constantly thinking:

Effort is only the seed, my friends. The fruition comes in meditation. The fruition comes when, in your desire, you stop talking and begin listening. Truly, those upon your planet are understandably bad at listening, for your physical ears are beset day and night by noise and more noise, and most of it not at all important, on any level. Therefore, in order to protect yourselves from this constant noise you yourselves are constantly thinking, constantly generating a defensive wall of selfhood. But, my friends, as long as you are thinking and talking, you cannot contact that wisdom that is within you, that is sleeping. You may meditate for a long time before you feel consciously that you have contacted wisdom. You may meditate for a long time before you begin to feel warmed by the presence of Love. That is how hard it is to open the door that those of your people who live in this civilization have begun to experience as closed. It is a thick door. Many of your people do not even believe that such a door exists, and that beyond it there is reality. So, we say to you, seek, and then in your seeking, meditate.

It is very important to your people at this time that you seek the knowledge of who you are and what you truly want for your planet, and, indeed, your whole solar system is at this time progressing into a new area of space and a new vibration of experience. This has been said by so many of your own people that we do but echo this truth. It has even been given a name. Many of your people speak of the Aquarian Age, or the Golden Age. You may join the Age that is to come, that is already becoming apparent, if your vibrations are such that they are in harmony with that vibration. That is what we are here to tell you. That is our purpose here: to share with you our understanding. Our understanding is that we are all created as one being. That that one being is in a state of perfect Love and harmony. And that our purpose in this and every experience is to more fully realize and understand the reality of that perfect Love.

Your people are much like what you would call chain smokers. As the smoker smokes one cigarette after another, he loses the taste. The very experience he is seeking so hard eludes him more and more. Avoid this if you like. To space these experiences that are properly [inaudible], it is by far the most advantageous way to use meditation. In whatever manner that you choose to practice this technique, silence holds the key to your understanding of yourself and the creation around you.

Hatonn continued by saying it is important to your people at this time that you seek the knowledge of who you are and what you want for your planet, and your solar system is at this time progressing into a new area of space and a new vibration of experience, and it has been given a name as the Aquarian Age, or the Golden Age, and you may join the Age that is already becoming apparent if your vibrations are in harmony with that vibration, for that is what we are here to tell you, and that is our purpose here: to share with you our understanding that we are all created as one being, and that that one being is in a state of perfect Love and harmony, and that our purpose in this experience is to more fully realize the reality of that perfect Love. Hatonn continued by saying your people are like chain smokers, and as the smoker smokes one cigarette after another, he loses the taste, so the very experience he is seeking eludes him more and more, so avoid this if you like, for to space these experiences that are properly [inaudible], it is the most advantageous way to use meditation, but in whatever manner that you choose to practice this technique, silence holds the key to your understanding of yourself and the creation around you. On September 26, 1987, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the Golden Age:

This particular planet offers another rhythm or cycle which influences entities at this particular time. Much has been said about the coming of a new age of harmony, love, and understanding. The so-called Golden Age has already had its birthing, and thus there are more and more entities upon your planetary sphere which are nascent fourth-density beings, incarnated in dual third-density and fourth-density bodies, those who have come as pioneers to attempt to express fourth-density understanding within the environment you now experience.

Thus, each of you may well feel the challenge and immediacy of making your choice, for time grows near when there shall no longer be incarnational opportunities in third density for your planet, for soon it shall be vibrating in fourth density.

I would like to transfer the contact at this point. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you once again in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I have said that silence is the key. My friends, in that book which you call the Bible the word silence is mentioned many times. And in truth, the silence of which we speak is the key to all knowledge, all understanding. That silence is the time spent listening to the voice of the Creator. And that voice may be heard through the practice of meditation. It is a voice that is not audible. Yet it is a voice that is clear and precise. It is a voice such as you have never heard. Yet, it is a voice to which you listen to at all times. My friends, to define the Creator is, for any being, incomprehensible. Yet, to begin to understand the Creator is, indeed, within your, shall we say, ability. Each and every individual, as we are aware of it, is nothing other than a projection of a pure thought from that source which we call the Creator. Each thought has taken upon itself forms of personal identities. In an essence they vacillate upon that same, shall we say, spiritual cycle of existence.

If it is true, that your existence has been brought about through none other than the thought of the Creator, and if it is true, as it has been stated in your holy scripture, that people are created in the image and likeness of their Creator, then, therefore, it is true, my friends, that your thought brings into existence the creation in which you live. My friends, you have been given this opportunity, this live experience, in which to learn many lessons. And you have been given all of the abilities of your Creator for within you, It is. And working through you It shall always be. And with these abilities you truly create the experiences that you have. Not only in this life but in all existence upon all levels.

There are certain, what you would call, laws that are undeniable and unbreakable. Yet, it is your choice. It is your choice in which directions to go and what creations you wish to experience. It is necessary for peopl upon the planet Earth at this time, above all others that you are aware, to learn to control the thought projections, especially those which are detrimental not only to other individuals, but to your Earth sphere and its environment. People upon planet Earth, indeed, within themselves, are godly in nature. You are divine and you have no limitations unless you choose to accept them. Yet, where man upon planet Earth has, shall we say, gone astray, is in the failure to recognize that that for which he searches is within them.

Those upon planet Earth—not all, but most—seek that divine intelligence that they call God. They use the intellect to search for God in books. They search for God in dwellings called churches. They search for God to be working through others. And most often fail to recognize that God is working through them from within them. My friends, it has been stated that the Kingdom of Heaven lies within. And, indeed, these words are true. Within you is that spark of divinity. And that spark of divinity, shall we say, is a part and particle of the overall construction of that energy which is the Creator. You have not been separated from the Creator. You are not fallen angels, as some may think. You are creators working together whether you are aware of it or not, formulating the existence that you need.

It is so simple, my friends, that people have missed the simplicity of existence. It is not within the intellectual capabilities of people to totally understand the words which we speak. But it is indeed within the spiritual intellect of people to understand all things. And in order for that, which you call the physical intellect and the spiritual intellect to work together closely and in harmony at all times, an attunement must be made by the individual. An attunement which takes away the barriers of limitation, the barriers of judgment draws all knowledge from the sphere on which you exist within this body and this sphere, all spheres on which you exist in spirit. All are united; all come together; and all is known. But in order to do this there is a great need for dedication to achieving that point of knowledge. Dedication to service of your fellow men. Dedication to fulfillment of your Creator’s will. And dedication to bringing about the most perfect being that you can be.

My friends, the disciplines which the masters have taken upon themselves are indeed difficult in the eyes of mortal men. But once they are accomplished, once they are internalized, they too take upon themselves the simplicity of truth. They bring forward the rewards. And those rewards, my friends, cannot be spoken of in words, for they are of the Creator and words are only a portion of this creation and of the Creator’s existence. How can man understand, how, only utilizing a portion of his abilities, the knowledge of the universe? Man must learn to utilize all that is within his capability and indeed that, my friends, is unlimited. Divine in nature are all your fellow beings. Recognize this within them. Allow them to do what they choose and assist them in any they may request. But place upon them no limitations or judgments for it. It is they themselves, and only they who have that right to limit and judge what they are to be and what they are to do. Go through this experience of life knowing that all things are indeed the reflection of the divinity within you and accept them and learn from them what you can. And love them at all times as your Creator loves you.

I shall once again transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. Before I leave this group, I would like to open the meeting to questions. If you have any at this time, please ask them.

Questioner: [Inaudible].

I am Hatonn. We felt that to impress information at this time would be premature.

Don: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: I am with the instrument. Your group is now in harmony and at peace, so we ask that you let your hearts carry that peace with you and into another world that may not look like what your heart looks like right now. All of creation speaks of harmony and it takes a very special eye to see it. That is the eye that is informed in meditation. That is the ear that is informed in meditation. That is the heart that is informed in meditation. [Inaudible]… and now is the time.

I leave you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu.

This morning, I used my trimmer to trim the Striped Liriope Garden and the Creeping Jenny Garden in the back yard. Then I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed and some Aquasafe. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Tylenol, some Kleenex, and some paper plates.

This afternoon I had lunch with a couple of friends from The Red Cross at the Village Anchor Restaurant. We talked about different ways that I might contribute to the efforts that they make to help people who suffer from flooding, tornados, and other catastrophies.

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

August 6

The Natural World As Teacher

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

I, the Comforter, ask you to allow the natural world that lies so close at hand to be your teacher this day. Gaze upon the mighty strength of the shoots of grass which grow in concrete. Look very closely and see the fecundity of the living God expressed in all the tiny insects which scurry across that busy sidewalk seeking sustenance and finding it. Listen to the sounds of the birds which ring out as joyful Psalms to the Creator and feel the wind of creation at your back.

We do not ask you to take these things into your mind and hold them where they will become lifeless and wither in the world of the hypothetical. Remain open, rather, to the revelations of the present moment, for the Creator has infinite lessons to teach to those who have understanding hearts and open ears.

We leave you in Christ’s own 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 quote comes from November 21, 1976:

(Carla channeling)

Philip: My beloved brothers and sisters, it is a great privilege to make contact with your group. And I do so only to say my blessing and my peace are with you and your world. I am known to you as Philip. And I send you all the Light of my Brotherhood. I wish to give encouragement to you, and I know that you have felt it. My beloved friends, love each other. Serve each other. Know that throughout all of those who dwell upon your Earth at this time are your brothers and sisters. With your aid all will one day live in harmony. Do not falter. I may continue in a moment.

I am Philip of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays. I leave you in light. My peace be unto you.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. We are certain that you have noticed this evening that there is indeed a great deal of what you would call conditioning of the instruments. You may have noticed that there is a great intensity of energy flowing, and as this meeting progresses, we shall increase that intensity and ask that you only still yourself and accept that energy, if you so desire. For, my friends, the energy that you feel is energy that will assist you. It will bring forth into your physical body greater physical energies, greater emotional controls, and greater intellectual disciplines.

My friends, those rays which we so often beam upon you that you call the conditioning ray are not only to provide telepathic contact, but they are to assist you in recharging those energies which you dissipate through your lack of knowledge and discipline.

We of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator are here only to serve those who would desire it. And we are grateful to be given the opportunity to join you in these meetings and to provide our assistance as it is requested. We ask your patience for a moment, for as you may have noticed there are some differences in the voice of the instrument. And we are attempting to utilize greater control, and we require a moment to bring that control to that point which is most advantageous for bringing forth this evening’s message.

[Pause]

I am Oxal. My greetings to you. Many of you have never, shall we say, heard my voice. It is rare that I am given the opportunity to speak with you. Yet I am present at all of your meetings working with those of you who are desirous of obtaining those goals in life which you may or may not be aware of. And it is that upon which I desire to speak this evening. Each and every individual upon your sphere of existence is an instrument of the Creator. Each instrument by choice previous to the incarnation has chosen to fulfill that which many of you would call destiny. Many of you have chosen to work with one another and to love one another in simple fashion. And some have chosen to take upon themselves the responsibilities of what one might call a teacher. Some have chosen to enter into fields of endeavor in their life. Yet, we must stress, no matter what it is that you have chosen to do, whether it seems to you to be a task of simplicity or a task of great magnitude, it cannot be measured, my friends. Your worth to the Creator, your worth to your fellow man, and your worth to the entire universe is immeasurable, as is your existence. You are an infinite being. You are instilled with divinity. You are of the utmost importance. You are a portion and particle of the divine Creator. Without your existence the creation would be incomplete.

Never, my friends, judge that which you are to do once you become aware of it. And seek out that which you are to do. Know what it is that you have come into this existence for. And proceed to do it knowing that you are going about being the Creator’s business. Do not attempt to do the Creator’s business. Be that business. Judge not yourself. Judge not others. Accept all things freely and lovingly, and in saying this we do not mean that you must submit yourself to the onslaught of negativity. Learn, my friends, to control those forces which influence. For indeed you have this ability instilled within you. Learn to be able to be, shall we say, bombarded by all negativity and meet it with your own positive energies and with the Love and Light which resides within you and overcome that negativity, purify it, encase it in the light, and send it back from whence it has come with your blessings.

Know, my friends, that indeed you, and you alone, are in control of your life and all the influences within it. You can accept upon yourself anything that you desire but no one has the ability to place upon you an experience or thought or energy form that you have not allowed to come in. It is true that many people do not know the proper means by which to control that which they accept, or to distinguish between the energy flows and know their work. Yet, my friends, if you seek out with true dedication that which you have entered into this life to achieve, a portion of that will bring forth to you the knowledges that you need in order to instill, or shall we say, in order to initiate the protective measures that you will require in order to achieve that destiny that you have chosen.

Realize, my friends, that as you travel life’s journey you can alter that destiny. You are not committed to fulfill that which you have chosen to do. But if you do not know that, indeed, you shall return until you have done so. For in choosing your mission, shall we say, in life, you have done so because it is something that you have needed to give and to learn from. It is a lesson that you must experience in this classroom of life in order to achieve, shall we say, the next level of existence. You cannot learn 99% and pass, my friends. You must know all things, experience all things that this plane of existence has to offer. The passing grade is 100%.

My friends, that which you endeavor to do is much more serious than you thought. Yet, do not be discouraged, for know that the Creator would not allow you to take upon yourself a greater task than what you can achieve and fulfill righteously. My friends, as I have said, you are divine. Know this at all times. Recognize and learn to see the divinity within those around you, and know that that divinity is within all beings. No matter who you come across in your life, whether they would be what you would call criminal, evil, or good, they are divine. They are either fulfilling that which they have chosen to do, or they shall do so in the future. Know that each person progresses at their own rate. Know that each person has that right to choose in what direction to go. Give whatever assistance you can to those that would request it. Give whatever assistance you can to those who would not request it when you know it would not be violating their will. And, my friends, the hardest, the hardest thing to do for those truly dedicated is to render no assistance to those that they know would not accept it. For to share your energies with those who would rebuke it is to waste, shall we say, precious time and precious energy. All that you can do for those is to love them and to bless them and allow them to go their way.

Each of you, my friends, has in one form or another begun the journey that shall lead you into the knowledge of that mission you have chosen. Advance forward and never look back, for what is behind you, my friends, is experience. Utilize it properly and continue to go forward knowing that you shall, indeed, achieve those goals which you have entered into life for. Indeed, you are the servant of the Creator and the servant of your fellow man as the Creator is your servant and your fellow man your servant. But service, my friends, comes only in Love and love does not demand and love does not possess. Love does not criticize. Love does not place judgment. Love my friends, as this instrument has been told before, can be simply defined: the L is for luminescence, the O is for omnipresence, the V is for vacillating, the E is for eternity. Love is luminescence, the Light within you; the omnipresence everywhere vacillating and flowing forever eternally within you and within all your men who walk this plane of existence. And within each particle, within each molecule, within atomic structure that your scientist’s observe, this Love is, and this Love shall always be. It cannot be smitten. It cannot be hidden. It cannot be denied. Love is the most potent energy of the universe, and it shall succeed over that which you call darkness or negativity.

Take these words of wisdom. Do with them what you will. Know that I Love you, that my brothers and I continually send you our love, our light. We work upon a plane of existence which is what you would consider above yours. And we do many things which you do not see to assist you, but, my friends, it is your life, and it is your mission. Do with it as you will and know that we will assist you.

I am Oxal. Though I leave, my brother Hatonn shall speak through another instrument, for this instrument is growing tired. I leave you in love and in light. I am Oxal.

(B channeling)

Hatonn: It is our pleasure to be with you. We are with you always in the light and the love of our infinite Creator. It is indeed a pleasure to send forth this Love in many forms and in all directions. And it is indeed an honor to instill within you these words of truth to be scattered as seeds from the essence of life. From the beginning, or the origin, of all existence there has always been an eternal truth that shall exist always. For the Love we send to you is not a [inaudible]. Yet as it passes through, we send with it the love within us [inaudible]. We are sorry for the interruption. We shall attempt a different communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. We would like to attempt to speak just a few words through the one known as M if he would be receptive to our contact, for we feel that the one known as M would indeed be of service. Yet, we in no way desire to infringe upon his free will. We will therefore simply attempt to speak a few words, if the instrument would relax and make himself receptive. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. We understand and sympathize with all conditions of question and doubts regarding the contact. We are extremely privileged to help each of you, for there are many ways to serve. And vocal channeling, as you call it, is but one. It is possible that at some future time events may alter the thoughts of those who are not sure about attempting to be of service in this way. Yet, whatever the service is, my friends, it matters not. For as our brother said it, within this situation it is not the apparent magnitude of the service that we are concerned with in learning. It is only the attitude and the intention.

It has been written in your holy works that the master known as Jesus, indicating the correct role of the teacher, knelt upon the ground and washed the feet dusty from the road of those who were his students. This he did as a lesson. My friends, that which you call humility among your people is a difficult lesson to learn. Many are those among you who feel that they are stronger than their brothers and must help them. Yet, we wish to share with you an understanding of yourselves for no one, my friends, is strong. Each is a collection of the strong and the weak. And just as when you are weak and you reach your hand out, someone has helped you, and you needed that help. Just so, if someone reaches out to you, you have as much need as that weak man as you did when you were weak. For in your strength, you can only stay strong by giving that strength to others. Just as in your weakness you could only change by giving your weakness.

Hatonn wanted to speak about how we can be of service. Then Haton said they understand with all conditions of question and doubts regarding the contact, and they are privileged to help each of us, for there are many ways to serve, and vocal channeling is but one, so it is possible that at some future time events may alter the thoughts of those who are not sure about attempting to be of service in this way, yet whatever the service is, it matters not, for within this situation it is not the apparent magnitude of the service that they are concerned with in learning, but it is only the attitude and the intention. Then Hatonn went on to say it has been written in our holy works that the master Jesus knelt upon the ground and washed the feet dusty from the road of those who were his students, and He did this as a lesson, so that which we call humility among our people is a difficult lesson to learn, for many are those among us who feel that they are stronger than their brothers and must help them, yet they wish to share with us an understanding of ourselves for no one is strong because each is a collection of the strong and the weak, and just as when we are weak, and we reach our hand out someone has helped us, and we needed that help, so if someone reaches out to us, we have as much need as that weak man as we did when we were weak, for in our strength, we can only stay strong by giving that strength to others, just as in our weakness we could only change by giving our weakness. On April 22, 2023, Q’uo spoke of our intention as being the most important ingredient in our desire to be of service to others:

This is an interesting query, in that a seeming retiring to the woods in a cabin by oneself could be seen as service to self, but the intention is service to others. Whereas, maintaining relationships within the outer world is seen as service to others, if that is the intention. In both cases, the intention is the quality which is of most importance. For as you intend for your consciousness and the Love of the One Creator that flows through your heart to be utilized in whatever manner, then this is the foundation upon which the effort is built.

Humanity, and by this we mean the race of those whose souls or being are filled with the Creator in consciousness, all these souls are one great [inaudible]. The strong have need of the weak and weak need of the strong, for all together make one. It has earlier been said, too, that without each of you, my friends, the universe would not be completed. Without the weakest of your friends, without the most troublesome, without the most foolish, you would be lacking. Know that you have a blessing, and you are asked to reach out your hand. Know that just as the master known as Jesus would stop and heal the most wretched of those along the way, stop what He was doing with thousands to heal one weak man, so it is never your great dreams that are most important, but that which is required of you at the moment. This cannot be accomplished without meditation, for inspiration of this kind is considered words of folly by your wise men. Meditate and go within, for that which is foolish to the world is a treasure to you [inaudible].

Hatonn continued by saying humanity, and by this they mean the race of those souls which are filled with the Creator in consciousness are one great [inaudible], and the strong have need of the weak and weak need of the strong, for all together make one, so it has earlier been said that without each of us the universe would not be completed, and without the weakest of our friends, without the most troublesome and the most foolish, we would be lacking, so we know that we have a blessing, and we are asked to reach out our hand, so know that as the master Jesus would stop and heal the most wretched of those along the way, stop what He was doing with thousands to heal one weak man, so it is never our dreams that are important, but that which is required of us at the moment, but this cannot be accomplished without meditation, for inspiration of this kind is considered words of folly by our wise men, so meditate and go within, for that which is foolish to the world is a treasure to us. On July 18, 1976, Hatonn said that without meditation we will never experience the treasure of the Love of the Creator:

It seems like a cliché to say this to you, my friends, and yet you will never be free of turmoil until you are able to bring into your conscious experience the knowledge of oneness in Love that you can find in meditation. Without meditation, it is not likely that you would ever discover that unity with the Creator that is the wellspring of true Love at all. And without repeated seeking of this unity, it is very difficult to advance at any rate in bringing Love into your immediate experience.

Before I leave this gathering of souls, I would ask if there are any questions.

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: We are with the instrument. We are aware of your question. Each of you who dwell within the physical also has at the heart of that physical body an animating spirit. And this animating spirit often becomes starved by the active daily existence of your physical being. It is in sleep that this being refreshes itself, for it is then free of the gross physical form with its chemicals and its impurities. And it can take instruction, work out deeper difficulties which have penetrated to its existence, and store up energy with which to animate the physical being during the waking period. Dream activity is of this nature and without the dream activity the physical being would soon be unable to function. This has been proven by your scientists, and this instrument is aware of the research. Therefore, we say to you upon the level of the intellect alone it is apparent that the one of whom you speak does indeed dream.

As to the blocking of the dreams from the conscious mind, this soul comes into the physical body as an inmate into a prison. Depending upon the shock of that entry, the consciousness of vital spiritual being may have various awarenesses of what the prison is like. Those who have become aware that they are in prison are often more able to free themselves through dreams, even though their spirits are sad within them because of their imprisonment. Those who have some degree of consciousness of their condition of entrapment find it easier to be aware of their dreams. One such as the one of whom you speak are somewhat traumatized and have been unable to put their true personality, as you might call it—that is, the system of biases that make up that individual—into the totality of their physical consciousness. They are truly in, shall we say, solitary confinement.

Questioner asked a question about dreams. Hatonn began by saying each of us who dwells within the physical also has, at the heart of that physical body, an animating spirit, and this animating spirit often becomes starved by the active daily existence of our physical being, for it is in sleep that this being refreshes itself, for it is then free of the gross physical form with its chemicals and its impurities, and it can take instruction, work out deeper difficulties which have penetrated to its existence, and store up energy with which to animate the physical being during the waking period, for dream activity is of this nature, and without dream activity our physical being would soon be unable to function, and this has been proven by our scientists, and Carla is aware of the research, so Hatonn said to us upon the level of the intellect it is apparent that the one of whom we speak does indeed dream. Hatonn continued by saying as to the blocking of the dreams from the conscious mind, our soul comes into our physical body as an inmate into a prison, and depending upon the shock of that entry, the consciousness of a spiritual being may have various awarenesses of what the prison is like, and those who have become aware that they are in prison are often more able to free themselves through dreams, even though their spirits are sad within them because of their imprisonment, but those who have some degree of consciousness of their condition of entrapment find it easier to be aware of their dreams, and the one such as the one of whom we speak is traumatized and has been unable to put their true personality–that is, the system of biases that make up that individual—into the totality of their physical consciousness, for they are truly in solitary confinement. On July 22, l984, Hatonn said that the nature of our true personality is Love:

It is not important to meditate well. It is important to desire to meditate well and to continually seek the truth in your meditations, so that you are tuned and carefully aimed at assuming your true personality—that is, Love. Each of you seeks, and each of the seekings are in some way flawed at times. We ask you, as you go into meditation, to examine that which you seek, for that which you seek you shall find. If you beckon something it shall come to you. You will get what you want.

Inorder to begin to unlock the consciousness of the imprisoned soul, so that it can communicate with the conscious mind through remembering the dreams, it is suggested that since this is a desirable situation to attempt to attain meditation, be devoted first to the silence and then to a seeking of wholeness. It is suggested that within this second type of meditation the seeker becomes aware of the Creator’s infinity and presence in all areas and in all corners. There is nothing left out of the Creator. There is nothing that needs to be known that the Creator does not know. The Creator is within each of us. This meditation makes the consciousness available, when applied patiently, that relaxes the trauma of the imprisoned soul. Memory is to a certain extent a habit and it is a matter, in this case, of changing the habit of not remembering. We are always available to aid. And it is also to be said that each of you has guides within what you would call the astral planes who are able to aid you simply by giving you light and strength within your worldly sphere. Seek this help and it will be given.

Then Hatonn said in order to begin to unlock the consciousness of the imprisoned soul so that it can communicate with the conscious mind through remembering the dreams, it is suggested that since this is a desirable situation to attempt to attain in meditation, we be devoted first to the silence and then to a seeking of wholeness, and it is suggested that within this second type of meditation the seeker becomes aware of the Creator’s infinity and presence in all areas, for there is nothing left out of the Creator, and nothing that needs to be known that the Creator does not know since the Creator is within each of us, for this meditation makes consciousness available and relaxes the trauma of the imprisoned soul, so memory is a matter of changing the habit of not remembering, and Hatonn is always available to aid, so it is also to be said that each of us has guides within the astral planes who are able to aid us by giving us Light and strength within our worldly sphere, so seek this help, and it will be given. On September 5, 1993, Q’uo spoke of the value of our seeking our wholeness:

As you continue to seek and to ask, so do you remember and receive the inspiration of that wholeness that is the true reality of your being. The process is filled, it would seem to you, with the pain of missing the mark, the slowness of repetition. Yet, in truth, this process is seen by us to be one of great vividness, great intensity, and great persistence, occurring in but the blink of an eye when seen from the eye of infinity. Thus, the seeker is well counseled to depend upon the faith and the will—the rod and the staff—as it moves through that valley of darkness that is your incarnation, seeking the Light upon the way.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: There are many different lessons to be learned within the physical plane. To most who are here it is necessary that the consciousness be fully awake to the higher, shall we say, intellectual decisions of the physical world. But there are those who need to experience sensations. In order to do this it is necessary only to be within a physical form. There are others whose karma involves this debt. However, the one of whom you speak had a need to experience the beauties, the color, the light, and the feeling of the physical plane and he was able to do this by incarnating in such a vehicle. He receives these sensations in a pure and untouched manner due to the fact that his mentality is, as you would say, retarded. This is what he needs in this experience. It is not a cruel creation. The harmonies are sometimes difficult to understand.

Is there another question?

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: The instrument spoke of the Brotherhood of Seven Rays and the meaning of this is simply that Light as you know it in its pure form contains various basic hues of colors. All of these colors together make up the Light. And all the differences within all mankind make up one being. The Brotherhood which takes its name from this [inaudible] has been formed to work with all of the different hues and colors of humanity’s spirit so that, as the one known as Brother Philip said, one day all of humanity will move in harmony and in oneness.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: If there are no more questions, I will leave this instrument.

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: One not only can, but one almost always does. It is simply that these contacts are not often remembered. If you work towards sensitizing your memory, you will begin to remember being given instructions by your teachers. This is the life of the soul.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I weeded the Moss Garden with my trimmer, and then I used the backpack blower to blow the weeds out of the Moss Garden.

This afternoon a friend of mine joined me for lunch at The First Watch in Middletown. When we got back to my home, I took her on a tour of my gardens.

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

August 5

The Spirit Speaks To Each

I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ. I greet each of you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

Each morning this instrument requests that she may offer the highest and best contact with us that she may. Then she names those within the meditation circle and holds them up to us.

We find, as we have so often found in those larger realms of which this instrument is not aware, that the spirit of Jesus the Christ speaks not to Christians but to those who love; speaks not to those who call themselves this or that kind of Christian but to those who act in a Christ-like manner whenever possible.

And we speak to those who may feel that they are lost from the Love of Jesus the Christ. We say that the spirit speaks to each of you in a language that each understands, with comfort, strength and Love.

For the principle of Jesus the Christ is the principle of divine Love, a fiery and creative principle that makes things happen, that renews minds, souls and hearts and gives them strength for service. The spirit of the full consciousness of Love lies upon and is available to each who may request it.

There is peace. There is the water of peacefulness. There is the realization of the reason for that ineffable and unworldly peace. These things the Spirit leaves within you to ponder in your heart.

We leave you in the Love, the joy and, above all, the peace that endures from everlasting to everlasting. 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 November 14, 1976:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. We greet you and extend to you our appreciation for asking us to join with you this evening. It is always our privilege to share with those who would request it that knowledge which we have attained through our experience. We wish only to share with you that which we have come to know as the truth. Yet, we do not state to have within our grasp or within our consciousness the entire picture, shall we say, for we too remain upon that ladder of progression which we have come to accept as being infinite. We too are learning day by day as we travel throughout this experience as you term as life.

We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have, in what we consider to be recent times, experienced a similar existence to that which you experience at the present time. And being aware of those lessons which can be learned and also those pitfalls which can be experienced, we have chosen to come forth and share with those who would accept them, information and guidance that would be to their benefit. We of the Confederation do not wish to interfere with any individual who would choose not to listen. It is only our desire to be completely open and free with knowledge and Love we have come to know. And freedom, my friends, can only be found in the recognition of the choice of others. Generally, we address these groups and share with them philosophical viewpoints. And within these viewpoints there can be found in-depth meanings and clues to assist you as you journey through this life experience. And among these clues, shall we say, the most two important which we can stress is the practice of meditation and the practice of service unto your fellow man, which is in itself is the expression of Love.

Service, my friends, comes in many various forms, and it is your choice as to which you would choose to utilize. You need not lift a hand. You need not render physical assistance. All that is needed, my friends, is to truly love one another. A Love which is not possessive. A Love that is pure from the very existence from which it has come. Love, my friends, is much more than man upon planet Earth realizes at this time. For one who truly loves can look upon disease and one who truly loves can look upon all forms of decadence and view perfection and know that underneath or within that which is viewed lies the potential of perfect being, perfect expression. For, my friends, within you there are both portions which are vital to bringing forth the balance of being that you seek. There is that aspect that you would label negative, and that which you would call positive. And yet if it were not for both poles’ existence, both sides, there would not be the knowledge of one or the other, and the true recognition of balance and the true knowledge of value. And that value, my friends, is knowing that all things are indeed balanced and perfect. What seems to be imbalanced to you is but an experience through which you may learn.

All things are to be viewed as beneficial, and it is your choice to recognize the benefits. You have entered into this life experience at a vital time in the history of your humankind. Lying before you is an opportunity which man has sought after for innumerable generations. You presently have the opportunity of bringing about that which you may term to be a golden era, a rebirth of the consciousness, a rebirth of the awareness, a rebirth of the knowledge of the divinity within humanity. And each individual upon your planet is important in the universal scheme, shall we call it. For, my friends, as you sit in your periods of meditation, as you love one another, and as you render service unto one another, from within your being is projected those energies which will flow throughout not only the sphere on which you live but throughout the universe. Energies of Love attracting to itself like energies of Love, each magnifying the other. Each blending those energy fields of all of the people upon this planet. With each little portion of love that you send out upon the ether waves, you have rendered service unto your fellow beings. And you have brought unto yourself greater portions of love from those around you.

Seek not the discrepancies that you may find within each person that you view. Seek that divinity. Seek out that perfection that lies within each of us, and in doing this you have fulfilled your portion of the plan which you have assisted in bringing into manifestation of the evolution of planet Earth. There is not one person upon your planet that is not needed. All of God’s children are equal and important. Whatever your role be in life, accept it willingly and do it knowing that you are fulfilling that minute portion which is necessary to bring into existence the heaven that your people seek. It is within your grasp. Fail to attain and you fail none but yourself. Strive to succeed and you succeed for all.

I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Hatonn. And again, I greet you in love and light. As we look down upon your people we cannot see you individually. We see only the shape of your sphere. It is a beautiful sphere. And yet we sense within our beings each individual who is seeking the Creator. We are sensitive to these seeking voices among your peoples for that is our mission to your world. We are to add our help to each of you who requests it.

Wehave in the past attempted various means of communicating with your people. We have attempted to describe through channels such as this one the blessings that can come from seeking through meditation the source of your existence. We have described our governmental structure, as you might call it, our peaceful society structure, all of the desirable components which lives in peace, lives in honesty, lives in order to be of service. Yet, we found that this message, while sounding very attractive, does not call many among your peoples to the practice of meditation. And so, we simply suggest meditation on a trial basis. We do not have to tell you that within your physical illusion at this time your society is not in a satisfactory state. We do not have to tell your people that war and hatred and what you would call bigotry and racism, what you would call greed and hunger for money are not the satisfactory goals to seek. Your people, to a great extent, are aware of this. We therefore suggest meditation as a means of, shall we say, getting in touch with what the alternatives are to those things which your society offers as goals which you may seek.

We can say to you that whatever you may seek you will find. So, your choice of what you are going to seek within this physical experience is all-important. If what you seek lies within the illusion, you shall have some measure of success, yet how poor you will be in those ways that even now you know exist. For in spirit, poor in the sense of peace we pass from this brief experience leaving your, shall we say, bank account behind and yet facing the spiritual banker. It is often the case when one begins to meditate on a regular basis that one’s physical problems straighten themselves out gradually, so that it looks as though meditation brings prosperity. If this is so, my friends, this is not inevitable. It is only a simple demonstration of harmony. There is no reason why one who is spiritually rich cannot also be in good health and living in comfort. The point is to seek those things of the spirit and all else will follow as is needed.

Here Hatonn wanted to share information about using meditation to seek the source of our existence. They began by saying they have in the past attempted various means of communicating with our people by describing through channels such as Carla the blessings that come from seeking the source of our existence through meditation, and they have described their governmental structure as a peaceful society where all of the souls live in peace, in honesty, and live in order to be of service, yet they found that this message does not call many among our people to the practice of meditation, so they suggest meditation on a trial basis because they do not have to tell us that within our physical illusion our society is not in a satisfactory state, and they do not have to tell us that war, racism, and hunger for money are not satisfactory goals to seek, and our people, to a great extent, are aware of this, so they suggested meditation as a means of getting in touch with what the alternatives are to those things which our society offers as goals which we may seek. Then Hatonn said they can say that whatever we may seek we will find, so our choice of what we are going to seek within this physical experience is important, for if what we seek lies within the illusion, we shall have some success, yet how poor we will be in those ways that we know exist, for in spirit, poor in the sense of peace they pass from this brief experience leaving our bank account behind and facing the spiritual banker, so it is often the case when one begins to meditate on a regular basis that one’s physical problems gradually straighten themselves out, so that it looks as though meditation brings prosperity, and if this is so, this is not inevitable, but it is only a demonstration of harmony because there is no reason why one who is spiritually rich cannot also be in good health and living in comfort, so the point for us is to seek those things of the spirit, and all else will follow as is needed. On December 2, 1979, Hatonn described the prosperity that meditation can bring to us:

Meditation is advisable to all people due to the fact that it is in meditation that you are made aware of your true relationship to the Creator and the creation. It is in meditation that you become aware that you and your brothers and sisters are one being and to serve them is to serve yourself. Armed with this understanding of service, you may then go forth and serve, given power by the Spirit of Love which is infinite.

We do not promise heaven in the sense that meditation offers an easy street. For we have in our collective worked upon the spiritual path for yet many more eons than you, yet within our ranks, because there always lies more than one path from one point to another, we have dissension and disagreement. We have discussion and argument. We are not without imperfections. We often do not see the total picture. It is simply that at least we are being honest in a way that we have gained by virtue of continued seeking. We are a little more in touch with who we are than your people. We have begun to see that we are all truly one in the Creator. Meditate, my friends.

Hatonn went on to say that they do not promise heaven in the sense that meditation offers an easy street, for they have worked upon the spiritual path for more eons than we, yet within their ranks they have disagreement because there is always more than one path from one point to another, and they often do not see the total picture, so at least they are being honest in a way that they have gained by virtue of continued seeking, and they are more in touch with who they are than our people, for they have begun to see that we are all one in the Creator, so we must meditate. In 52.11, Ra said that we are all one:

Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies Love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies Light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization. Unity, Love, Light, and joy: this is the heart of evolution of the spirit.

The second-ranking lessons are learn/taught in meditation and in service. At some point the mind/body/spirit complex is so smoothly activated and balanced by these central thoughts or distortions that the techniques you have mentioned become quite significant. However, the universe, its mystery unbroken, is one. Always begin and end in the Creator, not in technique.

At this time, I would like to open the meeting to questions

Ml: [M asks a question about a UFO sighting.]

Hatonn: No.

M: Could you say any more about what their purpose was?

Hatonn: This type of experiment, shall we say, is the product of a research project, as you would call it. Although the entities were not abducted by Confederation people, they are not negative in their orientation, but their purpose is benign.

M: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: Kindly. They wish to prevent the people of Earth from having ill effects during the transition periods which is to come, when they will be using Earth plane energy for their needs.

M: Does this mean that they are themselves trying to help with the transition?

Hatonn: They are not helping in the transition, but they will be a part of it. The help that they will be giving will be simply to avoid harming the entities upon this planet’s surface. It is difficult to explain. We are sorry that we cannot be more specific.

M: Thank you.

Don: Some information on the Second Coming?

Hatonn: This instrument has been aware of that question and therefore we would like to pause for just a moment to strengthen the contact.

[Pause]

I am with the instrument. Although the concept of the Second Coming is grossly in error in that the consciousness of the one known as Christ has come many times, there is an incarnation of the master in consciousness at this time among your peoples. This master is at this time a young boy. He will be among your people and will aid them.

Is this information of help?

Don: Yes. But I need more.

Hatonn: What do you wish to know?

Don: Where is he?

Carla: Don, I see a dry land. I don’t know—like the Mideast or something, but I’ve never been there.

Don: How old is he?

Carla: I get fourteen. Fifteen. Fifteen.

Don: Can you do any better on where he is located.

Carla: Arabia? No, no better than that.

Don: How soon will he be recognized?

Carla: I get twenty-five. Within ten years.

Don: Any other information?

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: I am Hatonn. As you may be aware from the atmosphere within your meeting at this time, to deal with information such as this is a somewhat solemn responsibility.

Questioner: Can you tell us [inaudible] to do?

Hatonn: Due to the fact that this consciousness is at this time incarnate and is subject to total free will we can only watch. This entity will attempt to be of service. But his method will be peculiar to the time and the place. As he is a teacher, he will teach. We would say at this time that it is very important that each who is tempted to follow the leader, listen always for the words of the master who leads not to himself but to the Creator. Who speaks not of heavenly kingdoms—we correct this instrument—who speaks not of the kingdoms of Earth but of the Kingdom of Heaven. It has already begun that there are leaders among your people that are of a negative vibration. It is difficult perhaps to understand but because of the ways of power within the spiritual planes those who are negative in a strong sense have a great deal of power just as those who are positive have a great deal power. And although the Light will always defeat the dark, it is very difficult for those who are not themselves sensitized to the light to easily distinguish between those who are of Light and those who are of darkness. Yet always discrimination can occur for the powers of Light seek far beyond themselves and far beyond this illusion. To be true to your own light, depend ultimately on no leader, but upon the Creator that is revealed by any true leader.

Is there another question?

Questioner: I have a question. Do you know what is meant by the Tree of Life?

Hatonn: We will speak through this channel, although we do not need to speak at great length, for it is within this channel’s mind. But we will give through this instrument our own estimate of this body of knowledge.

That which is known as the Kabbala is an extremely appropriate and accurate physiological description of the spiritual paths within this illusion. Using symbol for that which is positive or active and that which is negative or passive, that which is male and that which is female, describes in very understandable terms the process of seeking the Creator. It has been much misunderstood among philosophers. Its truths are very simple. If one is drawn to this study, we certainly encourage this or any other philosophical or religious study. However, we always request that above all else, dependence be placed upon communion with the Creator in meditation.

That which is known as the Kabbala is a structure made of words. Words are fallible and will break down, but communion with the Creator is without words and is beyond thought, and it will preserve and sustain when nothing else will.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: Is there another question?

Questioner: Are there UFO bases on Earth?

Hatonn: Yes.

Questioner: Could you give me a little more information?

Hatonn: Some of our craft are based under what you would call ocean in various locations.

Questioner: Do you know anything about the disappearances in the area we call the Bermuda Triangle?

Hatonn: We are sorry, but this instrument is tired. We would conclude through another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am Hatonn. Again, I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I will leave through this instrument. I encourage you all upon spending more time in meditation. In the love and light I leave you now. I am Hatonn.

This morning, I weeded by hand all around and on top of the Wuthering Heights Mound. Then I transplanted 29 Scaevola along the driveway and in the garden along the parking area in front of my home. I also transplanted six more Scaevola in three pots that are on three sides of the fishpond. Then I watered all of the Scaevola.

This afternoon I used my backpack blower to blow leaves in the back yard and side yard into areas where I could mulch them. Then I used Venus to mulch the leaves while also cutting the grass.

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

August 4

The Languages Of Love

I am of that principle of Love which has been embodied forth in full manifestation in Jesus the Christ. I greet you in that Love and in the living waters of its manifestation even unto this day, this hour, and this minute.

This instrument has wondered why we speak both as “I” and as “we.” We are all one principle, yet each seeking entity has its own perceptions of pain and comfort, and so to one we shall appear upon one vibration and to another, another, just as your languages differ. Yet all may be used by the Spirit to speak words of peace, comfort, and transformation.

There is no circumstance, no personality, no mind, or spirit, or emotion which can keep one who seeks from the fire of Love: Love that may transform, Love that may enable the Love that lies within you, each of you.

Know that there is nothing that may keep you from the principle of Love.

Know that comfort comes to you as you, in your unique way, ask for it, seek it, and are able to hear it.

We leave you, as always, in the one peace which comforts all, 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.
