The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from March 28, 1976:

[The beginning of the meeting was not recorded.]

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. It is, as always, a privilege to be with you. And we wish to share with you this evening a few, shall we say, points which relate to your involvement in what you would call your social structure. My friends, those upon your planet, as they enter through the process of birth into this experience, they immediately become exposed to the programming, shall we say, of the society in which they have chosen to exist. It is each and every individual’s desire to progress spiritually, whether it be a known value or not. And a portion of your spiritual progression is proper function within your social structure. Many of those today within your society who are becoming aware of the great changes which are and shall be occurring… this instrument is having some difficulty. Please be patient.

As we were saying, many of those upon your planet… this instrument is still having some difficulties due to analysis of that statement, and we would transfer this contact while the instrument regains contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Hatonn. We will attempt to use this instrument, although the import of the message is more easily, shall we say, given through a certain type of instrument. Therefore, this particular instrument will find this portion of the message slightly awkward. But we will continue through her.

We were saying: many of those who have come into the world by incarnation have experienced in other incarnations a structure in society, as you call it, which was substantially enough different from the structure of society as it is today that there are remarkable and far-reaching conflicts. This is absolutely understandable and reasonable but only so when you understand that the problem between individuals and their so-called society is that the individuals involved do not have experience with this type of structure but with other structures, which are, may we say, perhaps more conducive to spiritual growth than this particular type of structure. The very reason that many of those have incarnated at this time is because this will be a difficult and laborious incarnation for them, giving them a great deal of challenge, giving them a great goal. Those who are incarnated at this time, those who have incarnated into this density have chosen, not the easy way, but the way that leads to what they feel are greater rewards. For in hardship, lessons are learned much more quickly than in times of ease.

There are many who are here from your own planetary structures, from those known as planets. These people experience in their social structure [inaudible] yet you have understood, in that society, that the center of a person’s being is their spirit. It is not so on this planet. It is understood in this society that the society itself, as it touches a person, is the reality. And this simple understanding within your society is the cause for all the conflict that you now feel. It is simple, and yet very difficult to penetrate, because, as we say, when you woke up as a child in this world, immediately this world began to inform your mind of its version of reality. Each of you has knowledge within you, for you came into this world with your knowledge intact. You know that this world is not correct in its speaking to you. Yet you have been very frustrated and unable to express this knowledge, because there are no words, and it seems sometimes that there are no alternatives. And certainly, there is no loophole, shall we say, no excuse. So, you can’t ignore the world as it presents itself to you and substitute your own version.

Hatonn was talking about incarnating into the societies of Earth today, and they began by saying many of those who have come into the world by incarnation have experienced in other incarnations a structure in society which was different from the structure of society as it is today so that there are far-reaching conflicts, and this is understandable but only when we understand that the problem between individuals and our society is that the individuals involved do not have experience with this type of structure but with other structures which are more conducive to spiritual growth than this type of structure, and the reason that many of us have incarnated at this time is because this will be a difficult incarnation for us, giving us a great deal of challenge and a great goal, so those who are incarnated into this density have chosen the way that leads to what we feel are greater rewards, for in hardship lessons are learned more quickly than in times of ease. Hatonn continued by saying there are many who are here from the planets of our solar system, and these people experience in their social structure [inaudible] yet we have understood, in that society, that the center of a person’s being is their spirit, but it is not so on this planet, for it is understood in this society that the society itself, as it touches a person, is the reality, and this understanding within our society is the cause for all the conflict that we now feel, so it is simple yet difficult to penetrate because when we woke up as a child in this world, it immediately began to inform our mind of its version of reality, and each of us has knowledge within us, for we came into this world with our knowledge intact, and we know that this world is not correct in its speaking to us, yet we have been frustrated and unable to express this knowledge because there are no words, and it seems that there are no alternatives, so we can’t ignore the world as it presents itself to us and substitute our own version. On June 19, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the value of being able to learn in times of hardship:

Give thanks always and for every blessing, including the most unimaginable loss and pain. Rejoice in hardship and suffering. And let your heart be glad in life, in death. Then you shall not be troubled with sorrow. But, dear ones, if you cannot achieve this state of vibration, know that this is no more than what was expected for third density. You now walk in a shadow land where nothing is what it seems. Within each atom of this shadow land resides an infinite, absolute reality. The journey takes no time, no space. The answers lie within. Do not begrudge your sorrows their place, for the path of joy does await.

Letus back up to what we of Hatonn would perhaps say reality is. Let us look at society from that point of view. Sometimes it helps to go back to the beginning and then observe that which you see before your eyes. You know that you are as the plants and the animals, and that one portion of you is of the earth and will remain with the earth. You know that many of your functions are earthly and that just as the seed grows into the plant and then [inaudible] and the new seed grows, and the cycle goes on and goes on. So, my friends, you were once a seed. There are many things that you do that are of animal nature. And you fulfill your nature at this time. And this is a blessed and correct action, of instinct and of nature and of course as it should be in this world.

Yet that part of you can be laid aside while we look at the next part, which is, of course, your societal nature, that part of you which reacts with the creation of humanity as your animal nature reacts with the creation of the Creator. You react with other people and with the creations of people, that being their ideas, their boundaries, their structures of all kinds. All things which are created in the mind of a person, left to itself—that which is created in the mind of a person will become more and more complicated, more and more conventionalized, until entanglements become so great that they strangle themselves. This is the inevitable end of mind without restraint.

Hatonn went on to say that they wanted to back up to the way reality is, so they looked at society from that point of view because sometimes it helps to go back to the beginning and then observe that which we see, so we know that we are as the plants and the animals, and that one portion of us is of the earth and will remain with the earth, for we know that many of our functions are earthly, and that just as the seed grows into the plant and then [inaudible] and the new seed grows, and the cycle goes on and on, so we were once a seed, and there are many things that we do that are of an animal nature, and we fulfill our nature at this time, for this is a blessed action of instinct and as it should be in this world. Haton went on to say that part of us can be laid aside while we look at the next part, which is our societal nature, that part which reacts with the creation of humanity as our animal nature reacts with the creation of the Creator, and we react with other people and with the creations of people, that being their ideas, their boundaries, their structures of all kinds, so all things which are created in the mind of a person will become more complicated, more conventionalized, until entanglements become so great that they strangle themselves, and this is the inevitable end of mind without restraint. On March 19, 1989, Hatonn spoke of how we can experience the creation of the Creator:

Your, as you have called it, higher self is what you now would call your fully potentiated self at a point in time that you would call your future. This higher self has what you might see as a road map laid out for you that has the beginning point, the ending point, and many possible avenues of journeying between these points. The higher self has resources available to it upon which you may call through your desire to know more of the mystery of yourself, of this illusion, of the creation of the Creator.

As you begin to request information of this nature, you are guided, shall we say, by your higher self to meet the various entities, activities, and resources that are necessary to satisfy your desire and to allow you to continue upon your process of evolution.

Manyof your kind have come to depend very greatly upon the powers of the mind, and upon what other people say and upon what is obviously the way things are. This phrase within this channel’s mind seems to occur very often. Yet people know their animal nature, and they know they are part of humankind through their thought, their speech, and their actions. Yet how often they do not pull themselves through the complexity to the simplicity which lies beyond. For your third nature, my friends, is the spiritual. You come into this world an animal [inaudible] you are spiritual. That which is infinite, invisible, eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. You are that which is. That which is, is you. The body and the mind, if properly tuned by care, may become the servants of the Creator Who dwells within your spirit. This is your proper nature, and it is to this end that you came into this rather trying, rather difficult, and rather laborious environment. If you can express what you understand in spirit within this environment, my friends, what a great light you will have to shed upon the world picture.

This is a chance to express love and so move on to further knowledge. It is as simple as that. Your body and your mind are either your masters or your servants. You cannot bully either your body or your mind. They are, properly, very strong. The only way that they will become your servants is if you offer then a master which they recognize. The body and the mind recognize only that divine will which expresses through your spiritual nature. [Inaudible] …The master is within you. There has been much teaching among your peoples… [long portion inaudible]. The master, however, is not a long way away, is not hanging upon a [inaudible]. He has always been with you, He is within you and within me. If you allow Him and His consciousness He can become the master of your frame. He will live for you and the simplicity of His nature will flow like water all about you. [Inaudible]

Hatonn continued by saying many of our kind have come to depend upon the powers of the mind, and upon what other people say, and the way things are, and this phrase within Carla’s mind occurs often, yet we know our animal nature, and we know we are part of humankind through our thought, speech, and actions, yet how often we do not pull through the complexity to the simplicity which lies beyond, for our third nature is the spiritual, and we come into this world an animal, but we are spiritual, so that which is infinite, invisible, and omniscient is that which we are, and our body and mind, if properly tuned by care, may become the servants of the Creator Who dwells within our spirit because this is our proper nature, and it is to this end that we came into this rather difficult environment, so if we can express what we understand in spirit within this environment, what a great light we will have to shed upon the world picture. Then Hatonn said this is a chance to express love and so move on to further knowledge, so it is as simple as that since our body and our mind are either our masters or our servants, but we cannot bully either our body or our mind for they are very strong, and the only way that they will become our servants is if we offer them a master which they recognize because our body and mind recognize only that divine will which expresses through our spiritual nature, and the master is within us, and there has been much teaching among our peoples… [long portion inaudible]. The master, however, is not a long way away, and He is not hanging upon a cross, and He has always been with us, and He is within us both, and if we allow Him and His consciousness He can become the master of our frame, so He will live for us and the simplicity of His nature will flow like water all about us. On June 25, 1989, Oxal spoke about how we can discipline our will to become the divine will:

We speak to you thusly not to keep you from being humble. We simply wish to allow you to see things as we see them. And, indeed, there is a glory to third density from those who have chosen to discipline their will to that will which is called divine will. May that be your goal in each day. And may you each cease thinking about the self. To the extent that low self-esteem even enters the mind, the mind needs to be concerned with how others are doing, what may be needed and so forth.

There are many shadows in life but when the sunrise has reached high enough for the sun to peep over the top of the hill the shadows dissolve. Know ye not, my friends, that you are [inaudible] and yet the crowning spirit combines and unifies all your natures into one. [Inaudible] We leave you in this love. It is a precious, precious advantage which you have, for you are within a plane in which you can make great progress [inaudible], and we say to you what any older brother would say to a younger child who was studying. We would say, “Pay attention now, please, pay attention now.” This is the time for paying attention not to the things that bother your mind, although you must acknowledge and adjust to them, for the mind is useful, indispensable. Pay attention to the spiritual significance of this moment and of each moment as it appears. Your signs will not be physical, my friends, [inaudible].

Now Hatonn said there are many shadows in life, but when the sunrise has reached high enough for the sun to peep over the top of the hill the shadows dissolve, and we know that the crowning spirit combines and unifies all our natures into one, and they leave us in this Love, so it is a precious advantage which we have, for we are within a plane in which we can make great progress, and Hatonn said what any older brother would say to a younger child who was studying: “Pay attention now. Please, pay attention now.” They said this is the time for paying attention, not to the things that bother our mind, although we must acknowledge and adjust to them, for our mind is indispensable, so pay attention to the spiritual significance of this moment and of each moment as it appears because our signs will not be physical. On August 3, 1997, Q’uo said that this Love is infinite and ever present:

The great quest for this “pearl of great price” is that quest which, for most, encompasses the entire life, for to open the heart in unconditional Love to those about one is a task difficult enough that it eludes and confuses most. For it is far, far too easy and tempting to take offense, to give offense, to be confused, and to move through the incarnation on unsteady metaphysical feet. However, when one has been privileged to taste that unconditional Love moving to and from one’s own heart, then the blessings of this experience tend to open for one the next step, and the next, and the next so that the opportunity to share this Love is ever present.

This Love has a power unto itself that is like no other. It draws to one who expresses it those experiences and those entities which are in need of the service of unconditional Love. Worry not, my brother, about what you shall do, for it is set before you, and it shall be yours.

I would like to transfer to another channel at this time. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. As I was saying, pay attention, my friends. For there is a chance you will learn much and to attain much happiness. And, my friends, if you look back over the past, you will see in every instance that meditation has in some way brought you peace of mind, more, what we should say, contentment. But, my friends, it is merely, what you would say, a beginning, for there are far greater heights. Now, my friends, study on this, and study the fact that there are so many people who are searching for something to believe in. You will find, as you obtain more knowledge, that these people will be drawn to you, not only for their advancement, my friends, but for your own. For no matter how, shall we use the term, “down” that one person may be, there is always a great opportunity to learn much.

And, my friends, as you find yourself helping these people, you will find that you need more and more energy. At this time, you will have a great amount. For, my friends, as you attempt to use this energy there is more and more stimulation of this growth. We shall be with you, my friends, for as long as you may allow us. There is much to learn, my friends, and of what you think of as time, not much time. You have heard us say this many times, my friends. Renew your interest in meditation, my friends. You will find it to be better than before. Surround yourself with only Love for, my friends, when you surround yourself in this Love, it is of such a high intensity that only Love may penetrate it. And, my friends, as you find yourself advancing through meditation, you will experience this and find it to be a truly great feeling.

My friends, imagine yourself with this feeling completely. Now all of you, my friends, in this room, have made great progress. It is very pleasing to us. But as your progress grows you will need yet more and more help. And for this help, my friends, you need only the desire. As a rule, your first, shall we say, obstacle is to overcome your ego. For, my friends, it will slow you down to a great degree. You were not created with this ego but, through your society, it has flourished. My friends, it is indeed a very great obstacle to overcome, but through your diligent trying you will finally succeed.

I shall, my friends, attempt to transfer this contact to another instrument, if he will avail himself. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. We are nearly at the close of our, shall we say, message. Yet before we leave, it is our desire to express to you the need within your present development for caution and clarification within your own being, towards your desires. My friends, you have come here, and you indeed have a purpose or, shall we say, a mission. And this is why it is very important for you to clarify within yourself those things which you truly desire. For there are many things within this structure which you now could choose to desire. And some of these things could tend to lead you somewhat away from your chosen path. So be cautious in that which you choose to desire. And that which you choose to desire, clarify within yourself that it is truly something which you desire and feel to be of use. Meditate upon that which you desire and if it is not proper, the desire itself shall dissipate. Discretion, you might say, is a necessity for your avenue of progression and with this thought I will leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu.

This morning I went outside and used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters for the fountain in the fishpond. Then I used the air compressor in the garage to fill all of Stanley’s tires to at least 32 psi.

This afternoon I went outside and washed Stanley with the garden hose and sprayer, and then I used the backpack blower to dry Stanley in preparation for my drive to Nashville, TN. tomorrow to visit Anna and her husband and take a tour of the Cheekwood Gardens. Then I hand weeded the two flower gardens in front of the fishpond.

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

July 11

Never Run Too Fast

I am of the principle of Love and greet you in that Love.

We find that the minds of those who seek us this day are fretted and worried, so that there is only a very tenuous contact betwixt the Spirit of Love and those who seek it. It is very difficult for us to make it known to those who move fast and are upset.

But we are indeed with each, regardless of circumstances or where the mind is placed. Indeed, no matter how quickly the day goes, or how upset you may become because of the circumstances of the day, we are with you. Love does not leave you, but, rather, the upset and worried personality forgets to open and request that the Spirit of Christ enter in.

We hope you never run so fast or feel so out of sorts that you forget to open to Love, for that Love may transform, not the circumstances, but the feelings about them.

We leave you in peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn channeling today comes from February 22, 1976:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. It is very pleasing to see this group this evening and to be able to speak with you. And for some whom we have not seen for a long period of time, we extend our gratitude for your presence. These meetings, as you know, have a purpose, and that purpose is to aid you in your intellectual growth, so that your intellect may be able to keep pace with the spiritual knowledge that you gain through meditation. It is our fervent belief that the intellectual information which we share with you is of great benefit along your path. Each person must choose the path that he would wish to follow. And each person, in choosing that path, must realize that the path he has chosen shall lead to the ultimate point of interception with all other paths, the point of oneness.

Consider it, if you will, as a wheel, with an infinite number of spokes. Each spoke is an entirely different path, yet all are connected to the same center. All spokes protrude from the one center, as all paths have come from the Creator. All paths come, and all paths go, to our Creator at all times. We of the Confederation have chosen to assist the people upon planet Earth through such means as these, for we feel that it is our most efficient means of assisting you. If we were to show physical proof of our existence, or if we were to work so-called miracles for you, then we would be proving something to you within the illusion. And, my friends, we stress that you must go beyond the illusion in which you have chosen to live at this time. Anything which appears within the illusion is that: an illusion. Though the illusion may seem to have great reality to you, and great purpose, it is nonetheless an illusion projected by your consciousness.

My friends, we wish to prove nothing. We wish only to be known; and to know us, and to know the Creator, you must transcend the illusion through the practice of meditation, and learn and know reality. Infinite reality, my friends. You shall never know all things within the intellect, yet all things, though they be infinite, are known to you within your spirit. Within your spirit, you have the knowledge of all times and all experiences. Within your spirit, lies reality. And within reality there is nothing but Love. And Love to you, my friends, is a concept which you have greatly misunderstood in your intellect. Yet within your spirit it is pure. It is holy and sacred and infinite. The more Love which you are capable of displaying, or shall we say, the more Love which you project into your present illusion, the more the illusion shall fade away, and reality appear. Reality in itself may be an illusion, but one thing above all else can truly be known to exist. And throughout our experiences we have found only one stable aspect. That is Love. It is everyone. It is around you. It is within you. It is infinite, and it is all things.

I shall transfer this communication. 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 the Creator. My friends, it is written in your holy works, that the man who gives all that he has to the poor and gives his body to be burned, if he has not Love, then he is worth nothing. It is important, as you attempt to pursue the spiritual path, that you meditate continually on the nature of love. Love in action—that which is called service—is indeed the highest of all manifestations of Light within your peoples. Yet service without Love is worth nothing. And the person that attempts to serve without the heart within clear and full of Light showing forth as Love, is defeating his own purposes.

My friends, it is not easy to come to an understanding of what Love is, for among your people Love is already named by so many lesser emotions and states of mind—and none of these is Love. When we say that Love is all that there is, this begins to give you some idea of the scale on which we are speaking. If you can imagine the full force of the sun beating down upon you, and imagine that sun beating down equally, and totally, upon each entity, each blade of grass, moving each mote of air, and blessing the growth of each plant—this begins to tell you of the force and the impartiality of true Love. If you would Love, my friends, neither sympathize nor judge. It is well known that you should not judge and each of you already attempts to do so. Encourage this in yourself, to the greatest degree. And also encourage yourself not to be what this instrument would call a “bleeding heart.” Do not sympathize. Do not become lost in emotion, for Love is not emotion, and emotional service is often a “human” service, and not the service of Love.

Hatonn continued speaking about Love. They said it is written in our holy works, that the man who gives all that he has to the poor and gives his body to be burned, if he has not Love, then he is worth nothing, so it is important, as we attempt to pursue the spiritual path, that we meditate on the nature of Love because Love in action, that is called service, is the highest of all manifestations of Light within our people, yet service without Love is worth nothing, and the person that attempts to serve without the heart within that is clear and full of Light showing forth as Love, is defeating his own purpose. Hatonn went on to say it is not easy to come to an understanding of what Love is, for among our people Love is already named by so many lesser emotions and states of mind, and none of these is Love, so when Hatonn says that Love is all that there is, this begins to give us some idea of the scale on which they are speaking, and if we can imagine the full force of the sun beating down upon us, and imagine that sun beating down equally upon each entity, each blade of grass, and blessing the growth of each plant, this begins to tell us of the force and the impartiality of true Love, so if we would Love neither sympathize nor judge, for it is well known that we should not judge, and each of us already attempts to do so, yet encourage this in our self, to the greatest degree, and also encourage our self not to be what Carla would call a “bleeding heart,” so do not sympathize or become lost in emotion, for Love is not emotion, and emotional service is often a “human” service, and not the service of Love. On December 12, 1976, Hatonn said that Love is all that there is:

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 the time honored so, 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.

Rather, my friends, do the following, if you would love take the entity whom you would love, and become that entity, not to sympathize nor to condemn, but to totally become that entity. Actually, allow your consciousness to reside within that person. Do this carefully, quietly, completely. If you need to, imagine your body fitting the body of the other person. Make that complete an identification. And then, move this consciousness back within your body. Let the shoulders meet your shoulders, the head meet your head. Feel the union of two entities which are truly one. Love is one. You know that is unity, yet you sympathize, and condemn, and allow your human heart to rule that which should be free flowing always without let or hindrance regardless of how you as a person within the illusion feel about another person within the illusion. Know ye not that ye are ministers, each of you? Ministers of Light, as are all people. Through your eyes shines the Light of the Creator. If you wish to allow your inner feelings to shutter that Light, then you will only show true Love to a chosen few. And in doing so, you limit that Love.

This is a hard lesson to learn, but true. It can be done. And we may say to you, to the extent that you are able to do this, even partially, my friends, even very partially, you will light up a great, great deal of space within the finer spheres of the planetary vibration. You have heard of the search for one honest man, or a few righteous men, so that an entire community could be spared. My friends, this is due to the fact that one source of Light can illumine a great deal of darkness. You make a great deal of difference. It may not seem so on this plane, yet it is indeed so. That which you do is all-important, not only to you but to the planetary vibration.

Then Hatonn said if we would love, take the entity whom you would love, and become that entity, not to sympathize nor to condemn, but to totally become that entity, and allow our consciousness to reside within that person, but do this carefully and completely, and if we need to, imagine our body fitting the body of the other person, and make that a complete identification, and then move this consciousness back within our body, and feel the union of two entities which are truly one because Love is one, for we know that is unity, yet we sympathize, and condemn, and allow our human heart to rule that which should be free flowing always without hindrance regardless of how we feel about another person within the illusion, and know that we are ministers of Light, as are all people, for through our eyes shines the Light of the Creator, so if we wish to allow our inner feelings to shutter that Light, then we will only show true Love to a chosen few, and in doing so, we limit that Love. Then Hatonn said this is a hard lesson to learn, but true, and they said to the extent that we are able to do this, even partially, we will light up a great deal of space within the finer spheres of the planetary vibration, for we have heard of the search for a few righteous people so that an entire community could be spared, which is due to the fact that one source of Light can illumine a great deal of darkness, and we make a great deal of difference, but it may not seem so on this plane, yet it is indeed so, for that which we do is important, not only to us, but to the planetary vibration. On March 4, 2017, Q’uo described how we can affect the planetary vibration:

The ability of each seeker and of each such group of Light, such as this one, to affect the planetary consciousness is significant, for as entities are able to balance mind, body, and spirit, and their expression within the energy centers, this lightens the planetary vibration itself, which has, for thousands of your years been degraded, shall we say, in its vibratory level due to the tendency towards your peoples to engage in bellicose activities. Thus, you are able to affect this lower, or denser, baser, energy expression, by the quality of your own seeking that is reflected in your auras, and in your various energy centers which make up the aura.

We come back so often to meditation, and it is because the Light which you are seeking to show, that Light of true Love, cannot come from you, but through you. Only through you, my brothers and sisters, pouring through you like the sun pours down into the tree, so that the tree may yield its fruit up, so that all may eat of its substance. The fruit of your tree is not a physical thing, for you have a high emotional, and mental, and spiritual ability, and that which you can offer is within these realms. But remember that you are, indeed, a tree, and that you can be pruned. And that if you allow the sunlight to develop you, all that pass may take the fruit from your boughs.

Hatonn went on to say they come back so often to meditation, and it is because the Light which we are seeking to show, that Light of true Love, cannot come from us, but pouring through us like the sun pours down into the tree, so that the tree may yield up its fruit, so that all may eat of its substance, but the fruit of our tree is not a physical thing, for we have a high emotional, mental, and spiritual ability, and that which we can offer is within these realms, but remember that we are a tree, and that we can be pruned, and if we allow the sunlight to develop us, all those that pass by us may take the fruit from our boughs. On February 4, 1990, Q’uo said our spiritual ability may produce the consciousness of Love:

Thus, the preparatory step of working with lightening the consciousness of the planet begins with a long-term journey of understanding of the self, of seeing the self as not elite and always equal to each and every other complex of consciousness which may pass before you. When this lesson is learned, the desire to meet only with those who meet your subjective standards of spiritual ability can be released more easily, for one is able to see that within each pilgrim lies the consciousness of Love that, when purified, is a channel for Love and Light not only from the infinite Creator, but from all those co-Creators who serve at the harvest, such as yourselves.

I would close through another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. Just a few more words, my friends. As I have stated earlier, if you live your existence in that of Love, you all may know that by putting out, shall we say, only Love, your consciousness will reach the place where all that you receive is Love. Now we say, my friends, Love is the strongest feeling in the whole universe. By existing in this experience, you may all, my friends, strike higher and higher. It is [inaudible]. And, my friends, if everyone existed in this dimension, what a wondrous existence it would be.

As always, it has been a great honor to share in your meditation. I will leave you now. I am Hatonn. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning my editor for Living the Law of One 103: The Inner Work came over for another conversation about how the paperback version of 103 should be formatted.

This afternoon I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves and Sycamore bark into three piles, two in the back yard, and one in the front yard. Then I filled two garbage can with the leaves.

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

July 10

Be The Light

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

You, as you gaze at yourself, cannot see that you are the Light of the world. Disturbed with your own difficulties, confused about priorities, and in general bogged down in the waste, the paperwork, and the uselessness of many daily activities, it is easy to forget, and it is easy to relinquish your birthright.

Your birthright is to be sons and daughters of the one infinite Creator. You are the Light of the world. Know and feel this in your heart. Know that through the grace of this principle which we represent, all your efforts shall be comforted and supported.

Do not think too little of yourself. Be the Light of the world in gladness, joy, and singleness of mind and heart. Remember that which you are here to do: love each other. May you shine with the radiance of the Christ.

We are with you always in comfort and in the peace of unconditional Love, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel 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 February 15, 1976:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. It is indeed my privilege to share this moment with you. And while speaking with you this evening, I shall pass among you, and if you are open, you shall sense my presence. We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have come to your planet to assist you in whatever manner that we may. Yet presently, the manner which you are witnessing now is our most effective means of assistance. We wish to share with you some of our ideas. Throughout many experiences each individual forms for his or herself opinions judging from the experiences. As you pass on throughout your journeys, you shall form many of these opinions. These opinions may better be expressed as concepts. Your experiences shall be infinite in number, and your concepts shall also be infinite. Yet all of the experiences and all of the concepts which you have formed can be described as being within the concept of Love.

Love, my friends, is not what people perceive within their intellect. Love is not the emotion that is felt for another. Love is not attachment to any given thing. Love is totally detached, yet infinitely united within truth, within the light of the Creator. All things are united due to the existence of Love. In experiencing the concept of Love, there are many things which must be learned before you can truly comprehend the infinity of the concept. Love is all that exists. Love is all things which you experience and which you can see. Love at many times may appear to be what you might call negative in its effect upon you or others, yet, my friends, you must indeed, in order to learn, be exposed and have experience on what you would call both sides of the coin. You must be aware of the negativity which exists within your present experience as only an assistant to your learning process. You are assisted by those acts which you consider to be negative in that they allow you to weigh within yourself the value of that which you consider to be negative and that which you consider to be positive.

My friends, in order to learn, you must have full knowledge before a full concept can be realized. Therefore, do not allow yourself to think that any action or experience pertaining to yourself is not one of Love. No matter what its appearance may be upon the physical plane, you must realize that upon the spiritual planes it is assisting your growth, your understanding, and your knowledge. By your experiences you shall learn that which is necessary to evolve into what you would call a higher dimension of existence.

My friends, you are here at this time primarily to learn and understand the concept of Love. Your daily experiences are your lessons, and your daily reactions to those experiences shall bear upon your final, shall we say, judgment of your experience. With the proper outlook, these experiences can always be found within the realms of the concept of Love. This is difficult to understand at times—and even more difficult for us to relate to you—that you must be aware of the omnipresence of Love.

I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I greet you again, in the love and the light. My friends, that which surrounds you in your daily lives is a seeming mixture of the good and the bad, the plus and the negative. This appearance is not only your reality in the outer world, but it is a symbol for that which is on the inner planes the spiritual truth for all of those who are in your density and upon your physical plane. You see, my friends, you all seem to suffer, separate from each other. And in that you are separate from each other you are broken, and unhealthy, and in pain. You do not know oneness with each other. You cannot understand each other. And, not understanding each other, you experience what seems to be negativity, and what seems to be pain, my friends. And this is for a reason. You experience that which you perceive to be a state of unhealthiness. It is, on the outer plane, the precise symbol for that on the inner planes which is also unhealthy and ununified. The healing—and the only healing which you can achieve—is the healing of Love. To be made whole again within is to be made aware of your unity with all that there is on the outer planes. As you act on the outer planes, so will your consciousness behave on the inner.

How can you call this healing into what seems to be a divided planet? Because we use this channel and because we speak to this group, we use examples which are found within one of your holy works, known as the Bible. We ask you to remember the story of the man who was a prophet. And from a far country a leper came, and he said to the prophet, “Heal me!” And the prophet said, “Do you think that I am a God, that I could heal you? Nay, only go wash in the river of Jordan seven times.” And the leper, who was a rich man, went away, saying, “Indeed, I thought that such a prophet would at least call upon his God for me, pray over me, but he didn’t.” And he was unhappy. And his servant said to him, “Master, he asked you to do something that was very easy. Would you not have obeyed him if he asked you to do something difficult?” The leper said, “Why, yes I would have, for I wish to be healed.” The servant said, “Then, Master, go wash in the Jordan seven times, for it is very simple, and you want to be healed.” And the leper did so, and he became whole.

Hatonn wanted to speak upon the concept of healing. They began by saying that which surrounds us in our daily lives is a seeming mixture of the good and the bad, and this appearance is not only our reality in the outer world, but it is a symbol for that which is on the inner planes which is the spiritual truth for all of those who are in our density and upon our physical plane, so we all seem to suffer, separate from each other, and in that we are separate from each other we are unhealthy, and in pain, so we do not know oneness with each other, for we cannot understand each other, and we experience negativity and pain, and we experience that which we perceive to be a state of unhealthiness, so it is on the outer plane, the precise symbol for that on the inner planes which is also unhealthy and ununified, and the only healing which we can achieve is the healing of Love, for to be made whole again within is to be made aware of our unity with all that there is on the outer planes, so as we act on the outer planes, so will our consciousness behave on the inner. Then Hatonn said that how can we call this healing into what seems to be a divided planet, and they said it was because they use Carla that they use examples which are found within the Bible, so they asked us to remember the story of the man who was a prophet, and from a far country a leper came, and he said to the prophet, “Heal me,” and the prophet said: “Do you think that I am a God, that I could heal you? Nay, only go wash in the river of Jordan seven times.” And the leper, who was a rich man, went away, saying: “Indeed, I thought that such a prophet would at least call upon his God for me, pray over me, but he didn’t.” And he was unhappy, and his servant said to him: “Master, he asked you to do something that was very easy. Would you not have obeyed him if he asked you to do something difficult?” The leper said: “Why, yes I would have, for I wish to be healed.” The servant said: “Then, Master, go wash in the Jordan seven times, for it is very simple, and you want to be healed.” And the leper did so, and he became whole. On October 2, 1983, Latwii spoke of the healing of Love:

Indeed, my sister, there is no action which is not service. Most actions by your people are of a service nature that is unconscious. Most present this evening seek to serve in a conscious manner, and to serve as efficiently as possible. Many do so in just the manner you have spoken, for, indeed, all creation is one being, and as you send a thought of healing of Love, of Light, of support, of comfort, of caring to any other being upon your planet, all receive such and are able to partake of it if so desired. For in those realms which are the foundation of your illusion, in the metaphysical realms, a thought is indeed a thing which is seen, which is felt, which is used. It is such a foundation which supports your present material illusion, and not your material illusion which supports the metaphysical realms.

My friends, this experience you are now going through is much like that story, in that you are at this point in some manner or other sick, lonesome, unhappy, in some pain or some sadness of physical existence, whether it be in the mind, in the emotions, in the body. And you desire to be healed. You desire to be a whole person. We are not prophets. We do not wish to behave as prophets. Yet we say to you: your prophet is Love. Your higher self has arranged the basic elements and ingredients of your life experience, so that your life itself may tell you where the Jordan is, that you may wash and be whole. You need not search for a difficult way to find love. Love is close to you now, at this very moment.

When you have your next painful experience, ask your own experience, your own life, your own situation, “Where can I be healed? Where is love in this situation?” If you are quiet and if you meditate, truth will come to you. The water will become evident. And that portion of your consciousness will be made whole by your understanding of Love. Know ye, my friends, that we are all one. In pain or in pleasure, healing is in knowing that the Creator lies in every breath of air that you breathe, in every plant that gives you pleasure, in every bite of food that gives you health, in all of the friends and all of the enemies—you are looking at the Creator. All is one.

Hatonn went on to say this experience that we are now going through is much like that story, in that we are at this point in some manner or other sick, in some pain, or some sadness of physical existence, whether it be in our mind, our emotions, or our body, and we desire to be healed, to be a whole person, but those of Hatonn are not prophets, and they do not wish to behave as prophets, yet they say to us that our prophet is Love, so our higher self has arranged the basic elements of our life experience, so that our life may tell us where the Jordan is, that we may wash and be whole, but we need not search for a difficult way to find Love, for Love is close to us at this very moment. Then Hatonn said when we have our next painful experience, ask our experience: “Where can I be healed? Where is love in this situation?” And if we meditate, truth will come to us, and the water will become evident, and that portion of our consciousness will be made whole by our understanding of Love, so we are all one in pain or in pleasure, for healing is in knowing that the Creator lies in every breath of air that we breathe, in every plant that gives us pleasure, in every bite of food that gives us health, in all of the friends and all of the enemies we are looking at the Creator because all is one. On February 25, 1974, Hatonn said that all is one:

Concentrate, my friends, on that which is all. Let your thoughts become one. For all is one. Become aware of the one great All. Become aware that you are one and that one is All. Do not separate yourselves from anything. My friends, you are not separate from anything. There is only one thing. That one thing is truth. Truth is. It is all about you. It speaks to you. Listen to it, and you will know it. Truth is in your sky. It is in your trees, in your fields and in everything that is the Creator’s. Do not be concerned with anything but this truth.

Nevermind that within this physical body you cannot hear and see the Creator. That is a mere experience. The truth applies before this experience, after this experience, and if you wish it, during this experience. It is before you in such evidence, my friends, that unity with each other is the goal. Know ye not the pleasure of an overreaching type that comes when two minds meet as one? When an understanding between two people has reached a perfect balance? Have you not felt, within the realm of your physical relationships, those moments of unity that are not, as you would say, of the body, but of a higher type? In experiences such as this, directly within your physical illusion, you are seeing unity, and you feel its divinity. Yet you can only become unified with a very few people on this plane. What we ask you to do in meditation is to begin to bring the healing Love within your consciousness, so that you feel that love with everyone, and in all situations.

You see, my friends, you must have the consciousness of Love before you enter the situation. Then, you will receive from that situation Love. Without the consciousness of Love, you receive what you send out, be that whatever it may. It is written many times in your holy works, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” So, love to the very best of your ability, and you will reap it a hundredfold. Many of you have wondered at times: “How can I be of service? I do not have a great deal of money. I do not have very special talents. I do not know what to do to be of service.” We say to you, “Meditate and find Love. And then open yourself to your own self.”

Now Hatonn said that we must not mind that within this physical body we cannot hear and see the Creator because the truth applies before this experience, after this experience, and if we wish it, during this experience, so we know that unity with each other is the goal, and we can feel, within the realm of our physical relationships, those moments of unity that are not of the body, but of a higher type, and in experiences such as this, within our physical illusion, we are seeing unity, and we feel its divinity, yet we can only become unified with a very few people on this plane, so what we need to do in meditation is to begin to bring the healing Love within our consciousness, so that we feel that Love with everyone in all situations. Then Hatonn said we must have the consciousness of Love before we enter the situation, and then we will receive Love from that situation, but without the consciousness of Love, we receive what we send out, so we must love to the best of our ability, and we will reap it a hundredfold, yet many of us have wondered at times: “How can I be of service? I do not have a great deal of money. I do not have very special talents. I do not know what to do to be of service.” So Hatonn said: “Meditate and find Love. And then open our self to our own self.” On January 5, 1986, Latwii said that we can meditate and find Love:

The season of your winter is indeed as the small death, and may be again repeated in the meditative state where one looks within for the harvest of one’s experience and seeks to find Love where Love was not. Thus, the experiences within one’s incarnation which have seemed devoid of Love may be transformed and born again when seen in the crystal-pure Light of the Christed or Christened moment, the moment christened with Love.

Within your life experience there is guidance. The guidance will show you who and how to serve. Love is infinite. You cannot put a dollar value on the heart, and it takes no special talent to be a channel for Love. If you can begin to make your life function in this new way, if you can begin to know the Creator personally and let the Creator Love through you, then that which comes to you will become more and more a reflection of that Love. It may take a certain amount of time, but if you begin now, we assure you that it will be very, very soon that you will feel the universe about you warming to you, becoming a friendly place, becoming your home.

Hatonn continued by saying within our life experience there is guidance which will show us who and how to serve with Love that is infinite, but we cannot put a dollar value on our heart, so it takes no special talent to be a channel for Love, and if we can begin to make our life function in this new way, and if we can begin to know the Creator personally and let the Creator Love through us, then that which comes to us will become more of a reflection of that Love so it may take a certain amount of time, but if we begin now it will be very soon that we will feel the universe about us warming to us and becoming our home. On September 8, 1980, Laitos said that we all can be a channel for Love:

We are aware that each of you wishes to do what this instrument would call worldly work but each of you is consciously aware that these needs involve working for the good of the planet to which you have given your beings in this effort. Remember always to first center yourself, to feel the beauty of your own unfolding, the delicate scent of the Love of the Creator that emanates from you in many, many, ways. Do not see yourself in any way except as a channel for Love, the Love of the Creator, my friends. If you can maintain that connection in sincerity, that which you need shall be given unto you.

I would like to speak through one more channel. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. As you have been told before, my friends, we are, shall we say, all upon our paths to learn one great lesson, which is of a very high estate. As you know, you were conceived in Love, and there is only Love. Through the many years of experience, as you call them on this planet, many things have, shall we say, taken place that are difficult. But as you look around you now, you see, from every angle, this concept coming back. And, my friends, I say that the greatest lesson that you are to learn upon this planet is that of Love. We realize that it is not an easy thing. But, my friends, as we speak to you in Love, we can truthfully say that it is the greatest thing. Now, my friends, you cannot learn merely by wanting to, but it is the first step. As you apply yourselves to this word “love,” you will find that your progress will grow to be many times accelerated. And after a period of time, you will come to see in all that is within your grasp, Love. For, my friends, I repeat again, Love is all. When you have captured this Love, you have all.

As you know, my friends, I am with you always, and I am willing to help in any service that I can. It has been an extremely great honor to share in your meditation. I will leave this instrument, in the love and light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument, greeting you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I would like to ask if there are questions at this time.

Questioner: Yes. Was that a UFO I saw two weeks ago tonight on the way home from this meeting?

Hatonn: We do not wish to communicate with you on this matter at this time. It is important for you to evaluate and determine that which you see, until you are at a certain place where you are not easy to dissuade by any information, from our source or any other. We do not wish to interfere in any way with your progress. At a point where you are satisfied within your mind as to the spiritual content of this experience, we will be glad to communicate further. However, we feel that to speak at this time would be to interfere with your free will. It is for this very reason that we do not prove ourselves to you, or to the general public, shall we say. We are regretful if this is unsatisfactory to you, but precious to us above all else is the preservation of your free will, so that you may choose your path and your destiny.

Is there another question?

Questioner: I saw a light in the sky recently. Did it have anything to do with a change in my consciousness?

Hatonn: No, not as you understand it.

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Hatonn: Is there another question? If not, we would like to take this opportunity to answer a question that is within the mind of one of you, and may be of some interest to the others. It is never easy to know how to be of service to those about you. And yet, it is all-important to be of service. For there are many, many who are waking from their sleep, and now know that there is something that they need to receive. And they are seeking. We say to you: be very, very careful to listen with utmost clarity to what people ask of you, and answer according to their needs. We ask that you familiarize yourself, not only with the paths that are pleasant and amenable to you, but also with those paths which may not satisfy you, but which seem to be leading towards the one goal, which is the understanding of Love.

There are many such paths, and each one has been made by those for whom it is the very best path. Rather than attempting to coerce anybody to follow the “best” path, encourage each person to follow any path. If no path suits this person, encourage the person in new and creative ways, remembering only the goal: that the person begins to seek outside the physical confines for that “more” which is there. If a person has come to you, he knows that there is more. In whatever you do to be of service, enlarge that understanding. Never discourage it, whatever way the person may be seeking. This takes compassion, and a very gentle spirit. There is nothing more harmful than the person who is sure that there is only one path. We say this to you because it is something that is not easy to see, and yet in the days to come, those about you, when they sense that you know something, will be asking what that is. Do not be a stumbling block to anyone. Know that the Creator is on all paths towards Spirit. Only attempt to discourage that seeking which separates people from their creation. This is all that needs to be discouraged. Any loving and unifying direction will end in the Creator.

Hatonn wanted to speak upon how to be of service to others. They began by saying it is never easy to know how to be of service to those about us, yet it is important to be of service, for there are many who are waking from their sleep and now know that there is something that they need to receive, and they are seeking, so Hatonn said that we must be very careful to listen with clarity to what people ask of us, and answer according to their needs, so they asked that we familiarize our self, not only with the paths that are pleasant to us, but also with those paths which may not satisfy us, but which seem to be leading towards the one goal, which is the understanding of Love. Hatonn went on to say there are many paths, and each one has been made by those for whom it is the best path, but rather than attempting to force anybody to follow the “best” path, we can encourage each person to follow any path, but if no path suits this person, encourage the person in new and creative ways, remembering the goal: that the person begins to seek outside the physical confines for that “more” which is there, and if a person has come to us, they know that there is more, so in whatever we do to be of service we enlarge that understanding and never discourage it in whatever way the person may be seeking, and this takes compassion, and a very gentle spirit, for there is nothing more harmful than the person who is sure that there is only one path, so Hatonn said this to us because it is something that is not easy to see, and yet in the days to come, those about us, when they sense that we know something, will be asking what that is, so we must not be a stumbling block to anyone, but know that the Creator is on all paths towards Spirit, and only attempt to discourage that seeking which separates people from their creation, for any loving and unifying direction will end in the Creator. On June 17, 1982, Latwii said that the most important thing we can do is the understanding of Love:

Indeed, it could be said that that great event which awaits each entity now upon your planet could be spoken of as that entrance into what has been called the New Age of being, of the understanding of love. For this, a great discovery of the self is that prime moving element which has set all that you see occurring upon the stage of your world in motion. Indeed, it has been well said that all the world is a stage, and each entity upon this stage plays many parts in its time, with many exits and entrances, and yet the play is the thing. And the purpose of this play, my friends, is that you shall know yourself. For you have authored the play, and you sit in the audience; you raise the curtain, you sell the ticket; you are the critic, and you are those who know not that a play is in progress.

We will leave you at this time, not leaving you truly, but only the vocal mechanism of this channel. We are always with those who seek and request our aid, for we feel the vibration of your desire. I leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am known as Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I used my trimmer to weed around the fishpond, the pet cemetery, and the front yard. Then I ran a few errands with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought a container for a small Spider Plant that has roots and is ready to be transplanted. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off a prescription to be filled, and then I bought some treats for Benny.

This afternoon I used my trimmer to complete the weeding in the back yard. The I used the hose and watering wand to water the small Forsythia Bushes on the south side of the back yard.

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

July 9

Awaiting The Host’s Invitation

I am of those who shower this world with the ever-creative Love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the consciousness of Love.

That consciousness flowers when it will, as the world calls for it and requires it. That consciousness is called by desire. That consciousness dwells as the guest within the house, awaiting the host’s invitation to join in the conversation at table.

At times your experience may be that of the banquet and at other times that of starvation fare. Yet always the manna of divine thought is there in full supply to fill the hearts and minds of those who seek beyond banquet and hunger to that food which is given every day for the transformation of the self and the renewal of all of humankind.

We leave you in the peace of constant, divine Love. Whatever your circumstance this is yours, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel 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 February 1, 1976 (second meditation):

(Carla channeling)

Unknown: Greetings in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. Before I speak with you, I wish that you feel the warmth and vibration of the energy that is with you at this time. We are sending you our vibration which enhances the natural vibration of this group in such a way that it may more easily coincide with that which may be called spiritual vibration. Pause and feel this energy.

[Pause]

Before we begin to answer your questions, we would like to respond to a mentally asked question. It is something that this instrument does not particularly like to do, but we feel it is good for both the instrument and the questioner to occasionally experience this form of channeling.

We say to you, my friends, you are upon a round ball, not totally round but round enough. Consider yourself standing on the surface of the ball. One side of this ball is in light, and the other is in darkness. And it may seem to you very real that you are in darkness now, and that you have been in light earlier today, and that tomorrow the light will come again, and after that, another period of darkness. For you are upon the surface of a ball, and what is real to you is what is real for that ball. And sometimes there is light, and sometimes there is darkness.

Problems, difficulties, pain, lack, limitation; these things are just like the ball that you are standing on. Only you hold these balls. Consider them as evanescent bubbles. When you turn them in your hand, they rotate half in light and half in darkness, and as you see the dark side of the trouble, you experience the lack and the limitation, and the trouble seems very real to you, but lo, the trouble turns in your hand, and the solution is come upon you, and it also seems real to you. And the bubble bursts, and is no more, and in your hand is another bubble, and it is turning its dark side to you. And as you hold it in your hand, it turns, and it turns, quickly or slowly, and eventually the light side shows. Day dawns upon that particular trouble, and your solution has come upon you.

Unknown wanted Carla to channel the answer to an unasked question regarding the nature of living on a round planet with a light and dark side. Unknown said to us that we are upon a round ball, so we can consider standing on the surface of the ball, and one side of this ball is in Light, and the other is in darkness, so it may seem real that we are in darkness now, and we have been in Light earlier today, and tomorrow the Light will come again, and after that, another period of darkness, for we are upon the surface of a ball, and what is real to us is what is real for that ball, so sometimes there is Light, and sometimes there is darkness. Unknown continued by saying difficulties and limitations are just like the ball that we are standing on, but we hold these balls, and we can consider them as evanescent bubbles, so when we turn them in our hand, they rotate half in Light and half in darkness, and as we see the dark side of the trouble, we experience the lack and the limitation, and the trouble seems very real to us, but the trouble turns in our hand, and the solution comes upon us, and it seems real to us, but the bubble bursts, and is no more, and in our hand is another bubble, and it is turning its dark side to us, and as we hold it in our hand, it turns quickly or slowly, and eventually the Light side shows, and day dawns upon that trouble, and our solution has come upon us. On May 19, 1974, Hatonn spoke of how we can see lack and limitation on Earth at this time:

Planet Earth, my friends, is indeed a lovely planet. It will soon be vibrating in a vibratory manner which is far more associated with realization of the Creator’s creation. Begin to realize, and move with your planet, as we moved with ours. There is only that which is in your mind, and within your consciousness, and within your faith, between the pain, the lack, and the limitation which you experience and the complete freedom which is our vibration we experience.

We ask that you consider, my brother, that the man standing upon the ball is not just the man upon the ball. For there is that within him which is kin to all that there is. He is not a prisoner of light and darkness, for within him is the sun. Within him, even within the intellect of this man, in imagination, there is the ability of this man to go to the point of view of the sun, and from the standpoint of the sun there is no night, and the turning of a ball in infinite space has no meaning, for there is eternal, infinite, unbelievably wasteful light. There is no darkness, from the standpoint of the sun. Your difficulty at this point is a problem of thinking of yourself as a person standing upon a ball, and holding a ball, both balls being subject to light and darkness. Consider your difficulty from the standpoint of the eternal light and oneness of the sun, and the bubble will burst.

There is a point to the standpoint of the man upon the ball. You are a plant within the cosmic garden, and that which is necessary for your growth is given unto you. Your growth is not in the body but in the spirit, and that which is, shall we say, fertilizer is the infinite array of emotional reactions that you have to these same problems. Through the reactions of your emotions, and through choosing what reactions you will encourage within your own consciousness, you are turning and developing your own cosmic growth. Let that cosmic sun shine upon you and your problems.

Then Unknown asked that we consider that the man standing upon the ball is not just the man upon the ball, for there is that within him which is related to all that there is, and he is not a prisoner of Light and darkness, for within him is the sun, and within him, even within the intellect of this man, in imagination, there is his ability to go to the point of view of the sun, and from the standpoint of the sun there is no night, and the turning of a ball in infinite space has no meaning, for there is infinite wasteful Light, but there is no darkness, from the standpoint of the sun, so our difficulty at this point is a problem of thinking of our self as a person standing upon a ball, and holding a ball, both balls being subject to Light and darkness, so consider our difficulty from the standpoint of the eternal Light and oneness of the sun, and the bubble will burst. Unknown continued by saying there is a point to the standpoint of the man upon the ball, and we are a plant within the cosmic garden, and that which is necessary for our growth is given to us, and our growth is not in the body but in the spirit, and that which is fertilizer is the infinite array of emotional reactions that we have to these same problems, so through the reactions of our emotions, and through choosing what reactions we will encourage within our consciousness, we are developing our cosmic growth, so let that cosmic sun shine upon us and our problems. On April 15, 1979, Hatonn said that our emotional reactions to the difficulties in our lives:

You are seeds which are sown in the dead ground of a chemical body that you may experience the thunder and the lightening, the rain, the snow, and the wind that only a chemical body can give you, for it is in those circumstances that your emotional reactions are intensified, invariably. And it is through this intensification of emotions, it is through this often painful process of emotional reaction, and thought, and contemplation that you grow that within you which is alive, eternal, and loving.

I will now open the meeting to questions. Who would like to ask a question?

Questioner: How can I meditate better?

Unknown: My sister, it is my great pleasure to be able to speak with you. We are very pleased for the opportunity. For each person, as this instrument has said, there is a uniquely personal way to get past the difficulties of the conscious mind and settle into a more meditative or contemplative state. In your case, my sister, it is recommended that, for a period of five minutes or so, you take one of the works which personally has spiritual meaning for you, whether it be that which you know as the Holy Bible, or whether it be any other work which has meaning for you personally. Your mental discipline is such that you are accustomed to making good use in a physical sense of your time. Therefore, the main difficulty with your taking time for a meditation period is that it is a waste of time within the intellectual framework.

The greatest bridge from the intellect to the spiritual is inspiration. Therefore, reading words of inspiration will at some point give you the inspiration and desire to pause and contemplate that which you have read. At this point, your own intellect will find it permissible to do so, for you will be learning. And truly this, although it is not meditation proper, is an extremely useful method of learning. It is a gateway into the spiritual. If you cannot go further than the contemplation of an inspirational thought, then this will be fine. At some point, as you do this daily, however, you will find that you have stopped thinking about that inspirational thought, and you have not yet thought of anything else. Perhaps that inspiration has led you to another inspiration, and then to another, and then you have a pause. My sister, if that pause lasts five seconds, within that five seconds you have made contact with the silence within, and within that silence is that which we have called the sun. Within that silence is the Creator. Five seconds with the Creator, my sister, is ample. Seek and ye shall find. This has been said over and over.

Questioner asked how she could meditate better. Unknown began by saying for each person, as Carla has said, there is a unique way to get past the difficulties of the conscious mind and settle into a meditative state, and in your case it is recommended that, for a period of five minutes or so, you take one of the works which has spiritual meaning for you, whether it be the Holy Bible, or any other work which has meaning for you personally, for your mental discipline is such that you are accustomed to making good use in a physical sense of your time, so the difficulty with your taking time for a meditation period is that it is a waste of time within the intellectual framework. Then Unknown said the bridge from the intellect to the spiritual is inspiration, so reading words of inspiration will give you the inspiration and desire to pause and contemplate that which you have read, and at this point your intellect will find it permissible to do so, for you will be learning, and although it is not meditation proper, is a useful method of learning as it is a gateway into the spiritual, but if you cannot go further than the contemplation of an inspirational thought, then this will be fine, for at some point you will find that you have stopped thinking about that inspirational thought, and you have not yet thought of anything else, so perhaps that inspiration has led you to another inspiration, and then to another, and then you have a pause, and if that pause lasts five seconds, within that five seconds you have made contact with the silence within, and that is what we have called the sun, and within that silence is the Creator, but five seconds with the Creator is ample, so seek and ye shall find. On March 31, 1996, Q’uo suggested that meditation was the way to access the silence within us that is the Creator.

Each is familiar with our constant recommendations for periods of meditation and contemplation within each daily period. Within those times of silence within, the Creator speaks those words that have no words, those thoughts that have no concept. And yet, because they move from Love itself, when invited they come into the interior conscious life with healing in their hands.

We cannot say enough about silence. The silence within is a precious gift that you give yourself. When you open to the presence of the one infinite Creator, wonderful life-enhancing energies can flow into the sore and aching cracks and crevices of the conscious life, offering that strength that is Love, offering that higher and deeper truth that is Love, offering a larger and yet again larger perspective, for that is the way of Love.

Do not be disheartened if meditations remain short for some time. It is not how long your meditations last, but how earnestly you are seeking. If you knock at that door, it shall be opened. It will not be tomorrow that you are able to spend minutes, and then a quarter of an hour, in deep meditation, yet through the door of contemplation you will become comfortable with the meditation. You see, my sister, there are people who are, shall we say, less energetic, and therefore they do not require their time to be productive. Once you begin to see in your own consciousness the joy and the productive changes which are occurring as a result of your meditation, short as it is, you will no longer consider it as a waste of time. At that point, your being will relax and allow the silence its rightful place.

The physical vehicle in all of those among your peoples has been trained to be very active, and even among those who are the least energetic you will find resistance to meditation, for the body itself is not comfortable doing nothing. This is unfortunate but true. It is much better to be totally inactive, and then to move with true purpose, than to be partially active at all tines and have no purpose of a lasting quality. Therefore, we wish you a very productive outcome to your seeking. We assure you that this will be so.

Unknown continued by saying do not be disheartened if meditations remain short for some time because it is not how long your meditations last, but how earnestly you are seeking, if you knock at that door, it shall be opened, but it will not be tomorrow that you are able to spend minutes, and then a quarter of an hour in deep meditation, yet through the door of contemplation you will become comfortable with the meditation, so you see there are people who are less energetic, and they do not require their time to be productive, so once you begin to see in your consciousness the joy and the productive changes which are occurring as a result of your meditation, short as it is, you will no longer consider it as a waste of time, and at that point your being will relax and allow the silence its rightful place. Now Unknown said the physical vehicle in all of your people has been trained to be active, and among those who are the least energetic you will find resistance to meditation, for the body is not comfortable doing nothing which is unfortunate but true, so it is better to be totally inactive, and then to move with true purpose, than to be partially active at all times and have no purpose of a lasting quality, so we wish you a very productive outcome to your seeking, and we assure you that this will be so. On March 9, 2022, Q’uo described the value of deep meditation:

Again, we may say that we do not diminish pain and suffering that you have experienced or any entity has, especially when concerning a bodily condition that is related to emotional and mental conditions, as well. We understand how overwhelming and difficult such situations are. And we say again that to recreate any one’s life in any way is to start at the center, just start at the beginning. It is actually very simple. Go to the center of self. Enter into a deep meditation. Feel the Love of the Creator. Feel the Love of yourself. You and the Creator partake of this Love of self. Feel this Love radiating throughout your entire being on every level, healing anything that needs to be healed connected with this situation that you have described. The intelligence of the Love and the Light will know exactly what needs to be healed. And be pure in your meditation and open-hearted that this not only can happen, but is happening right now, right within you. All entities have this power. It is the power of the Infinite Creator whose Love is infinite, boundless, and gentle at the same time.

Does that answer your question?

Questioner: [Inaudible].

Unknown: Are there other questions?

Questioner: I would like to know if I could have some way of knowing, physically or absolutely, that I am channeling, really channeling, when I think I am channeling from the Confederation. I need to be absolutely sure that I’m not channeling myself, because I would hate to give anybody wrong advice or say something that’s not right.

Unknown: This is a difficult question to answer, my brother. There is no channel that does not dwell within doubts many times. Moreover, due to the type of beam that we are using with you, although it is electromagnetic in a physical sense, it is not the type of wave in which total control is ours, and you have no free will. We have experimented with this beam, and we do not like it, even when the instrument is fully willing to give over to us. It is uncomfortable to the instrument, and it is not necessary in order to give to you philosophy. We prefer using a type of communication which deals within your free will. We see your vocabulary as spread out within your awareness, and we pick out of your awareness the closest concepts to what we are trying to say. This is why different channels give different messages to a certain extent. Now, it is partially their subconscious, and it is partially us. Do you understand this? Do you see what I mean, my brother?

Questioner: Well…

Unknown: This does not answer your question, but it tells you the basic answer, which is that you will never know for sure whether it is us until such time as channels are not actually necessary. Now, we must back up a bit.

Channels are necessary because we cannot and will not go against the free will of those upon your planet. Some of those upon the planet are seeking the truth. To those people we come to give our message. Many, many of those people upon your planet are not seeking the truth at this time. This is their prerogative. We do not wish to upset their applecart. We do not wish to make them know that our reality is superior to theirs. They are inexorably headed for our reality, and they will be forced into learning our lessons. We do not wish to do this to anyone. We wish only to talk to those who wish to listen. We cannot appear among you at this point for this reason. So, we use telepathic channels which no one can prove are actually speaking. This unprovability is essential to the vibration upon this planet at this time. We must not be proven to be here at this time, until the majority of those upon your planet want what we have come to bear witness to.

This channel has become convinced that she is channeling something of a higher reality. This channel is not totally convinced that we are UFO entities. This is fine with us. We do not care who you think we are. The reason that this channel is convinced that she is channeling is that in many instances that which she has channeled has been confirmed by events or by people as being, shall we say, on the nose, and the instrument knows that she did not previously have any awareness as to what was channeled. Therefore, she knows that there was an information source that was coming through her.

Questioner asked: “I would like to know if I could have some way of knowing, physically or absolutely, that I am channeling, really channeling, when I think I am channeling from the Confederation.” Unknown began by saying channels are necessary because we cannot and will not go against the free will of those upon your planet, and some of those upon the planet are seeking the truth, and to those people we come to give our message, but many of those people upon your planet are not seeking the truth at this time, so this is their prerogative since we do not wish to make them know that our reality is superior to theirs, and they are headed for our reality where they will be forced into learning our lessons, and we wish only to talk to those who wish to listen because we cannot appear among you at this point for this reason, so we use telepathic channels which no one can prove are actually speaking, and this unprovability is essential to the vibration upon this planet at this time, so we must not be proven to be here at this time until the majority of those upon your planet want what we have come to bear witness to. Unknown went on to say Carla has become convinced that she is channeling something of a higher reality, but she is not convinced that we are UFO entities, and we do not care who you think we are, so the reason that she is convinced that she is channeling is that in many instances that which she has channeled has been confirmed by events or by people as being on the nose, and she knows that she did not previously have any awareness as to what was channeled, so she knows that there was an information source that was coming through her. On December 13, 2008, Q’uo spoke of the value of telepathic channels:

We are those of Q’uo, and we may say, my brother, that we neither recommend against it or for it, but merely attempt to describe for you the parameters of what you propose to attempt. We, as always, are willing to communicate through instruments such as this one and are always glad for the opportunity to develop the newer channels as well. We must leave it to the free-will choices of each of those involved in such a decision as to what you shall or shall not attempt to create.

We suggest to you what we have suggested often, that it matters not where the information comes from, it matters only whether the information is valid, whether it is helpful. As a matter of fact, we are from another planet. We are in craft about your planet. We are people, and we speak to people: we are here in love and peace. This is our nature, and this to our message. Proof is not with us. Proof is not of our vibration. Love is what we have come to offer, and love is proven only in love.

We ask you, my brother, simply to have confidence. When you feel a desire to help, to give service in this way, pray, as you would call it. Speak to the light within you in a way which communicates to your own vibration. Either say to yourself, “I wish only to do work for the Creator”; say to yourself, “Let me be an instrument of Thy peace”; say to yourself whatever is your true desire in the Creator to do this work. In that way, there is no possibility of your channeling that which is not of the Creator. It is when one is not careful of one’s vibrations that one begins to channel those entities which are quite astral, which, while sometimes very high vibration, are also sometimes not. If you wish a spiritual communication, set your vibrations to that. Then, speak what comes to your mind.

Then Unknown said we suggest to you what we have suggested often: that it matters not where the information comes from, but it matters only whether the information is helpful, for we are from another planet, and we are in craft above your planet, and we are here in love and peace since this is our nature, and this to our message, but proof is not of our vibration, and Love is what we have come to offer. Unknown continued by saying we ask you to have confidence, so when you feel a desire to help, to give service by prayer, and speak to the Light within you in a way which communicates your own vibration, and either say to yourself whatever is your true desire to serve the Creator and do this work, so there is no possibility of your channeling that which is not of the Creator because it is when one is not careful of one’s vibrations that one begins to channel those entities which are astral and sometimes of a high vibration and sometimes not, so if you wish a spiritual communication, set your vibrations to that, and then speak what comes to your mind. On December 30, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the nature of spiritual communication:

When one discovers, by whatever means, information that is so inspirational and so relevant to that entity’s growth that it is that which seizes the attention, then is there excitement, glory, joy, optimism, and the strength of new knowledge. Were this to be treated appropriately, the passion, the intensity, and the dedication which you experience at the beginning should never fade. But you, being of an illusion which uses words, and of natures which crave the companionship of spiritual communication, are often incapable of protecting your realizations with careful, cautious, and deeply felt silence, thanksgiving, and praise for the realizations that have been the gift at the end of long desert experiences.

We speak not, in this case, of time, but of the subjectively felt length of any experience in which the spirit starves for spiritual food. When it finds that food, its appetite is great, and it wants to feed the five thousand with its loaves and fishes immediately. However, that which has been born in you, though it feels stronger than any previous faith or enthusiasm, is yet a faith-filled and enthusiastic infant.

The essence of channeling is not to worry about what you are saying, but to go ahead, catch those balls, and throw them on; catch those words and speak them. You have arranged your vibration. You have set yourself to do the work of the Creator: then, do it. You need not question intellectually something that is not intellectually happening to you. This may sound very difficult at this time. What will make it easier for you is experience in this service. As you begin to have a backlog of experiences in which everything came out all right, in which that which was given to you was well-received, you will begin to realize that once you prepare yourself as the instrument, then that which is given through the instrument is not of your concern.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: Yes.

Unknown: Is there another question?

Questioner: Whenwe meditate, do we get rid of karma?

Unknown: No, my sister. Do you wish an explanation?

Questioner: Yes, please.

Unknown: There is a law within the density which you now know as the physical. This law is visible within the physical illusion as cause and effect. There is no action without a reaction. Nothing that happens has not been caused. That which you do is reflected in experience. This is karma. This is a law. The law does not become abrogated. There is a higher law, and this is the Law of Love. If you invoke this law, this law will dissolve the karma. Yet you invoke this through action. In meditation, you align yourself with all that there is. You have brought into your consciousness the Creator. Yet karma is that which is in the physical, and to dissolve karma, there must be action of a final kind which resolves the reaction. This action partakes of Love, but Love-in-action.

It is as though you would say that there was a fire, raging out of control. And you stood by it, and you said “What is this destructive thing? And how do I manage to overcome it?” And as you meditated, it came to you that you would overcome fire with water. And there you sit in meditation, with a pail of water in your hand. But, my sister, you have not put the water on the fire. Go from the meditation with the understanding, and put out that fire. Do it consciously, and know that the Law of Love is overcoming the law of karma.

Is this clear, my sister?

Questioner: Yes.

Unknown: As we sit here, my brothers and sisters, we are like islands in a stream. This phrase has been used by one of your writers, and we take it from this channel’s mind, for it is very apt at this time. You seem like islands in the stream. You are separate, and the waters are rushing past you, and you are each in a different place, attempting to understand the nature of that which is around you. Yet you are fixed, still, and as the waters rush past you, you see only that which touches you.

My friends, you are the water. One drop of water, that is one with all of the water that reaches from one corner of the world to the other, that indeed touches all that there is, that knows all that all the other drops of water know. Release yourself from that island, in meditation, and become one with the water. Water does not seem strong, yet it is water—gentle, flowing, unified water—that dissolves the rock.

Are there any other questions?

Questioner: Should we believe in reincarnation?

Unknown: My sister this is, to the best of our knowledge, what happens. If it is uncomfortable to you, it is perfectly all right not to believe in it. However, reincarnation of the entity within a certain experience, then removed from that experience and re-evaluating it, then deciding what needs to be learned and going back into the density of experience, coming back out and evaluating again, This, to the best of our knowledge, is the nature of each of you.

You are infinite, eternal beings. Your transit within this particular physical vehicle is very brief. Your transit within the Creator is infinite. We do not know where the trail ends. We are not at the end of it. We see far ahead, just as you do. We see a little further ahead than you. We certainly do not know the end. We do not know the whole. Although we ourselves are still reincarnating, it is in a density where we are more in control of our experience, and our stays within each vehicle are quite a bit longer as you would measure time. We do not say that the eternal essence of all that there is is reincarnation. We only say that, at this point in our evolution, this is the nature of the residing spirit. It has a residence, and a higher residence that percolates, shall we say, into the lower residence and takes up for the learning, for the experiencing, the lower residence.

Does this clarify the matter?

Questioner: Yes.

Unknown: Is there another question?

Questioner: Yes. I wonder if you could comment on an experience I had about eight years ago when I was followed very closely by a UFO on my way to and from a destination.

Unknown: We will attempt to answer this question. There are times, my sister, when the light which is within is manifested outward in an unusual manner. The entity which you saw was not a Confederation entity but a spiritual entity of your planet which was activated by your rising vibration within this density. You are a person who has made some progress in understanding within this experience, and as awakenings occur within the real self, the eyes are opened to higher densities. Within the higher densities there dwell what you know as angels. These angels are not boring harp-players who flap around with wings. They are beautiful, ethereal light-beings. In physical manifestation, they are of physical beauty, and in etherean manifestation they are very bright. You had a sight of an angel who was of your sector. It was with this harbinger that a new era within your spiritual development began. We have appeared also to you, but this particular sighting was not ours.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: Yes, and thank you.

Unknown: It is a great pleasure to be with this group. I would leave you now. Yet I do not leave you. I never leave, but as you desire our help, we are here. We have the ability to hear ten thousand at once, and understand each. We hear and we are heard.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I used my trimmer to weed the walkway around the fishpond, the parking area beside the pet cemetery. Then I transplanted six Begonias from the small garden behind the fishpond into the area in front of the giant Sycamore in the back yard because the deer had started eating the Begonias.

This afternoon I went on an errand run where I bought another plant container for the small Striped Spider Plant that broke of off the stem of the large Striped Spider Plant in the living room. My next stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought more bird seed. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. When I got home, I put away my purchases and went back outside used my trimmer and weeded the Liriope Garden beside the fishpond, the area between the fishpond and the pet cemetery, and around the front yard.

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

July 8

Pray And Release

I come to speak with the voice of Jesus the Christ to the world. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

There are the tears unshed, the concern and the worry within this instrument this day, concern for family members whose health has been compromised. And so, this pilgrim makes the same error as many: thinking to take up the cross of Christ and follow Him, instead this seeker takes up the cross of worry and follows the illusions of the world.

Let the tears unshed become the prayers said. Let prayers said be prayers felt, prayers meant, prayers realized.

Then let the seeking soul be at rest, for all burdens are not the Spirit’s to carry. The function of the Comforter is to hear that which has been said and to submit it to the greater will.

With the prayer said, it has been done. It may be released. It may be trusted. And consolation and peace may come to that Spirit which knows that the higher will has now been invoked through Jesus the Christ.

We urge you to pray, to release the prayer, and then to be, at last, 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 February 1, 1976:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my brothers and my sisters, in love and peace, in the infinite Light of all that there is. I especially greet those of you who are new to our group. It is a great privilege to be able to speak with each of you, and a very great pleasure to speak for the first time to those whom we now meet. We are here, my friends, only to be of service to each of you. All of those upon the surface of your planet who desire at this time to listen to thoughts that will be of service to their spiritual development are those very people whom we wish to serve, and we are here for that reason and for that reason only, to share with you our knowledge, such as it is, to reach a hand back down one rung of the ladder, just as those one rung above us have reached their hand down to us.

For so, my brothers and sisters, it is. The infinite, universal creation has infinite densities, infinite progressions. And in each progression, there is a group of those upon the same path, those striving towards the same understanding. And as one reaches one higher rung, one of the privileges of learning is responsibility for those below. For we can no longer ascend higher unless we are endeavoring to the utmost to bring those just below us with us. You see, my brothers and sisters, it is the nature of all things within the creation to be of service to the other portions of the creation. Upon your planet, the creation of the Creator manifests this service over and over again, in cycles which complement each other, so that your natural growths give forth oxygen that your animals and yourselves breathe, while you give off that which is helpful to the plants. The air itself is a perfect blend so that you might flourish. The rain falls in such a way that that which you need for your survival grows in plenty upon the surface of your planet. All dwells in harmony, in an attempt to be of service to that which is around it.

The topic for this part of the channeling session was the desire of those of Hatonn to be of service to us. Hatonn began by saying it is a privilege to be able to speak with each of us, and a pleasure to speak for the first time to those whom they now meet because they are here to be of service to each of us, so all of those upon the surface of our planet who desire at this time to listen to thoughts that will be of service to their spiritual development are those people whom they wish to serve, and they are here for that reason only, to share with us their knowledge and to reach a hand back down one rung of the ladder, just as those one rung above them have reached their hand down to them. Hatonn continued by saying the infinite creation has infinite progressions, and in each progression there is a group of those upon the same path, those striving towards the same understanding, and as one reaches one higher rung, one of the privileges of learning is responsibility for those below, for they can no longer ascend higher unless they are endeavoring to bring those below them with them, so it is the nature of all things within the creation to be of service to the other portions of the creation, for upon our planet, the creation of the Creator manifests this service over and over again, in cycles which complement each other, so that our natural growth gives forth oxygen that our animals and we breathe, while we give off that which is helpful to the plants, so the air is a perfect blend so that we might flourish, and the rain falls in such a way that that which we need for our survival grows in plenty upon the surface of our planet, and all dwells in harmony, in an attempt to be of service to that which is around it. On July 6, 1986, Q’uo spoke about the nature of our spiritual development:

However, this evening we would stress that in the illusion, which is your so-called third-density reality, all are manifestly created unequal. In the illusion of personality, each entity is unique. This illusion is a deep illusion which will continue to hold sway through several densities of existence and many millions of your years and far, far into your spiritual development and your journey back to the One Original Thought. It is an important illusion. Why, indeed, does it seem so clear that in this illusion of personality, each is unique and obviously different and therefore unequal to and from each other?

Let us consider one individual spirit. There are two basic influences which shall govern what occurs within the life experience of this individual. The first is, shall we say, the law of finished beginnings. This is not a law, but an influence. We use the term “law” advisedly and ask that you understand it as a pervasive influence rather than an unshakable law. Your vocabulary does not have such a nice word, so we must use the closest in meaning. This pervasive influence is that which indicates that that which has been previously unfinished in an entity’s experience in other lifetimes shall be once again brought before the attention of the entity in order that the entity may work, consider, meditate, and do whatever seems to be advisable with these pervasive influences which are familiar.

Many difficult relationships are the result of previous unfinished beginnings, and the difficulty of the relationship is much like the difficulty of a person that receives that which seems to be fresh from the grocery but which when taken home, though sweet and fresh to every physical sense, yet seems still somehow aging and putrefying. There is something ancient, something one cannot put one’s finger upon, something which smacks sometimes of déja vu. This is that with which you shall deal as lovingly, compassionately, and may we say, dispassionately with in this life experience in order to finish that which has been begun, that all may be balanced with that particular relationship, or in regard to that particular point, that the entity has been attempting to learn and has as yet not completely gotten, shall we say, under the belt.

To take another example, my friends, it is written within your holy works that the various portions of your own physical body are not separate from each other but are mutually helpful to each other for the benefit of the whole. My friends, this is true not simply of your body as an entity but of all that there is in the universe as an entity. The universe is one thing, one complete whole, and all that is in it functions in mutual service to all the other parts. This functioning is in harmony with the perfect Love that created the universe. This unity is Love and this Love is all that there is.

Then Hatonn said to take another example it is written within our holy works that the various portions of our physical body are not separate from each other but are mutually helpful to each other for the benefit of the whole, and this is true not simply of our body as an entity but of all that there is in the universe as an entity since the universe is one thing, and all that is in it functions in mutual service to all the other parts, so this functioning is in harmony with the perfect Love that created the universe, and this unity is Love, and this Love is all that there is. On January 19, 2008, Q’uo spoke of how unity is Love:

One can move into a great many complexities and details in discussing how to live a life that is grounded in love and based upon the awareness that all are one and all things are the Creator. Yet underlying every complexity and every detail is a single, simple truth: the one infinite Creator, and you, and all that there is are one thing. It is a unified creation, and the nature of that unity is Love. Unconditional Love is the one great original Thought that has generated all the seen worlds and all of the unseen worlds as well.

I would like this evening to speak on several things, and I will skip around to a certain extent, my friends, because there are several topics that it is, shall we say, necessary to hit upon at this time. First, I would like to speak with you about Light. There are those within your group who have already noticed that I was attempting to speak with you as a group earlier. This is quite so. The group at the time was extremely willing to hear my message. However, because the channel felt that it would not be the proper thing to do, we were not able to get through, for as you well know we will not force ourselves upon you, but only come when it is your desire. We had a desire at that time to talk to you about Light. We will now so do. Light, my friends—imagine yourselves armed, completely covered with an armor of Light. The Light is so bright and so white, you are so radiant, that no one can look directly at you. You shine like the sun. It is not possible for any harm to penetrate that armor of Light, nor is it possible for any harm to leave your mind, your heart, or your hand through this aura of Light. You are protected from within and from without.

There are many, many times, my friends, when in your fear you attempt to use your armies, those little armies of soldiers which you call words, and you send your words and your mean actions and your petty emotions out like little soldiers to combat those little enemies, those people about you who seem to be sending their soldiers against you, saying and doing things that make you unhappy. You feel that you are vulnerable to them, and so you fight back, shall we say, with your little army of words. And you become disturbed and excited. You are not yourself, in the sense that you are no longer a Light being, but a small, dark animal fighting for its position. You have lost the grandeur and the majesty of that within you which is pure Light and pure Love and you are reacting as a weak person.

The concept that Hatonn wanted to discuss at this time was about Light, and they began by saying there are those within our group who have noticed that they were attempting to speak with our group earlier, and the group at that time was willing to hear their message, but because the channel felt that it would not be the proper thing to do, they were not able to get through, for as we know they will not force themselves upon us, but only come to us when it is our desire, and they had a desire to talk to us about Light which they will now do, so imagine our selves covered with an armor of Light, and the Light is so bright white, and we are so radiant, that no one can look directly at us since we shine like the sun, but it is not possible for any harm to penetrate that armor of Light, nor is it possible for any harm to leave our mind, our heart, or our hand through this aura of Light, for we are protected from within and from without. Hatonn went on to say there are many times when in our fear we attempt to use our little armies of soldiers which we call words, and we send our words and our mean actions out like little soldiers to combat those little enemies, those people about us who seem to be sending their soldiers against us, saying and doing things that make us unhappy, and we feel that we are vulnerable to them, so we fight back with our little army of words, and we become disturbed and excited, but we are not our self, in the sense that we are no longer a Light being but a small, dark animal fighting for its position, and we have lost the majesty of that within us which is pure Light and Love, and we are reacting as a weak person. On May 18, 1986, L/Leema spoke of the protection of an armor of Light when we are of service to others:

The fruit of service to others is that which is guarded by the light of those who observe the movements within your illusion from outside of your illusion. Within this general arena of protection, shall we say, the one who seeks to be of service to others may invoke this Light at any time the need is felt. At all times it is recommended that for the greatest protection, the one who seeks to serve others may attempt with a full and joyous heart to see the Creator in all beings and events which come before its notice, to seek the Light, to praise it and to rejoice in the opportunity to be of service. In this frame of being and attitude of seeking to serve, one bathes oneself in the armor of Light, that which is, and that which is not, the darkness, then becomes illumined and becomes as that which is Light. Thus, the Light speaks to itself and knows no fear or foe, for all is seen as one. The truth is known as the Light is called.

My friends, you need no armies, you need no intellect. You need no fights, for you are completely protected by Light.

[A pause, during which the wind roars against the windows of the house.]

You are aware, my friends, of that which is a great disturbance in your outer environment, and we use this to tell you these storms within your emotions may seem just as difficult, just as dark, and just as terrifying. If you feel anger, if you feel discomfort or, my friends, those of you who were with the group in this afternoon meeting, those of you who felt the slightest need to, shall we say, defend yourselves against someone who did not seem to understand—you were not seeing this person, my friends, as a light being, to whom you should give love only. You were seeing him as someone to be convinced, his army against your army, words against words. Love and Light, my brothers, my sisters, need no words, but only a simple radiation, a radiation from within of the Love and the protection from all that may be without of your armor of Light. Never, ever, sell yourselves short. Never let yourselves become in need of that army, if you can possibly remember who you are and what protection you do have. You may play, instead of from weakness, from a position of great strength. The Love lies within you, the Light shines through you, and there will be nothing which love cannot conquer.

Then Hatonn said we need no armies, no intellect, or no fights, for we are protected by Light, so we are aware of that which is a disturbance in our outer environment, and they use this to tell us these storms within our emotions may seem difficult, dark, and terrifying, so if we feel anger; if we feel discomfort; or if those of us who were with the group in this afternoon’s meeting felt the need to defend our selves against someone who did not seem to understand, we were not seeing this person as a Light being, to whom we should give love only, but we were seeing them as someone to be convinced, their army against our army, words against words because Love and Light need no words, but a radiation from within of the Love and the protection from all that may be without of our armor of Light, but never sell our selves short, and never let our selves become in need of that army, if we can remember who we are and what protection we have, then we may play from a position of strength because Love lies within, and the Light shines through us, and there will be nothing which Love cannot conquer. On May 2, 1999, Q’uo said that we all are a Light being:

The Creator is vitally interested in each configured being. The Creator grasps the totality of this vibratory complex and echoes back to the being a validation without judgment, created utterly of Love—creative and destructive, all-powerful Love. It is this vibratory complex that is you as a Light being. It is this Light being that you are. You are not your body. You are not your personality. You are not your mind. You are not your emotions. You cannot exhaust the qualities of yourself regardless of how long you look, how deeply you search, or how prayerfully you mine the rich lode of the deep mind in attempting to affix to the self a deeper and more permanent personality.

I would like to transfer and continue through another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument and shall continue. My friends, the Light of which we speak is not Light as you may perceive it within your intellect. The Light of which we speak, to best describe it, is the physical manifestation of the Love of your Creator. All that appears to you within your physical environment appears due to the Love which is expressed by our Creator. All things which are visible to your eyes are comprised of units of Light. Various are the colors which you may perceive. Yet you have learned that through a prism a white Light may enter and it is dispersed as many different colors. Therefore, all colors, all physical manifestation, has been derived from the pure and infinite glowing white Light, which is the physical representative of the Love of our Creator.

And you may ask yourself What or Who is our Creator? This, my friends, we cannot answer. We can only say to you that to the best of our knowledge, our Creator is all things. It resides within and without all other beings. Within this Light we reside. Within this creation we reside. Many things we could say that would express our concept of the Creator, yet we have found through our experience that in order to understand the concept of the Creator, there is but one way. In order to attain this understanding, you must go within yourself, beyond the physical limits of your intellect and into the core of your being and communicate, communicate with your Creator. This communication shall not take place in the form of conversation. All that you need to hear is silence. All that you need to see is Light. And all that you need to understand is yourself. For within you are the answers to the questions that you may ask.

My friends, you have been told many times, through many sources, that the Creator resides in all areas. This means that the Creator is within you. No closer could you ask to be. If it is your desire to truly know and understand the universe and your Creator, then it is only necessary for you to go within yourself and seek that which you desire. Seek and you shall find. This may sound familiar, and it has always been, and shall always remain to be, true. You are the citadel of your existence. You are the center of the universe. Do not underrate your abilities or your importance to the overall functioning of the creation. For, my friends, if you were not necessary you would not exist. For, as we understand it, within this creation of Love all things are interdependent upon each other, for in all reality there is but one thing, though you do not recognize it through your physical senses. There is but one unity, one presence, throughout the entire creation and that is the Creator.

You have been told that you have been created in the Creator’s image and likeness, and we say unto you that if you believe this to be true, then you cannot deny what we are speaking. You are the Creator. We all together are the Creator. Further than this we cannot say for this is our understanding, and we do not proclaim to possess infinite knowledge of all matters. We can only state what we have learned through our own experiences and allow you to accept or reject as you will. But in order that you understand what we say, it is necessary that you practice the art of meditation, not as you are witnessing it now, but alone. Though these sessions are quite helpful, the true answers lie in the silence of your personal meditation. For understanding is infinite, my friends, and the intellect is limited. Therefore, you must go beyond the reaches of what you term your intellect.

It is our desire to assist those upon your planet who desire to transcend physical experience. And in order to do so it is definitely required by your very nature that you, to some extent, utilize your intellect. Therefore, we have provided, upon request, these sessions. We of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator are well aware of your present experience, for we have experienced quite similar existences, and we of the Confederation, during those existences, chose to follow in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator through the process of meditation. Light, my friends, is Love and Love is all.

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

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I wish each of you now to become more carefully aware of the entities beside you, who dwell now within this room in a unified group, all seeking the Light. Become aware, my friends, of each infinitely precious spirit, of the great treasure patiently, through eons of time, from experience to experience, each of these entities has built and built upon experience to come to the place where the entity is now, the place on the ladder, the place in the progression, on the path, however you wish to put it. Each of you, my brothers and sisters , is on the same path. You may think sometimes that you are alone, but within this room you are all one. Allow the Light within you to spread out until it touches those about you and rest in that Light and in the one perfect Love.

And now I leave you. I will return later. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I speak through this instrument due to my difficulty in contacting the one known as R. It has been a long time since I have been able to use the one known as R. It would indeed be a great privilege to be able to give a short message through this instrument. I will attempt again to contact the one known as R. I am Oxal.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. I am again with this instrument. We are having difficulty with the one known as R, and so we will attempt to contact the one known an N. I am Oxal.

(H channeling)

I am Oxal. We are experiencing some difficulty in achieving contact with instruments who are not, shall we say, familiar with the personal vibration of our contact. There is some variance between the energies experienced from the different brothers and sisters within the Confederation, and it is very difficult, many times, to differentiate between these contacts. As for the instrument known as R, I would wish to add that though it has been a great length of time, your knowledge is far too advanced for you to allow your apprehensions to overcome your desire. And once again I shall attempt to communicate through the instrument. I am Oxal.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. We are having some difficulty this evening, and so I will briefly conclude through this instrument and then depart. We wish to say to the one known as R and to the one known as N to be not discouraged, for though it may take a bit of time to become totally confident, either for the first time or again, yet the ability is still there and the service that you have done and will do, my sisters, is wonderful to behold.

We wanted to say to you a few words about harmony, a few words about progression. My friends, that which you hear at this time within your density outside your dwelling place is an instance of disharmony. There are two definitions of normalcy within the air. One is warmer, and one is colder, and within this duality there is inevitable conflict. And the result of this conflict can be heard by your ears at this time. And the destruction which is wrought shall at times be very great, simply because there is a duality between heat and cold and the result is a terrible confrontation in which that duality is resolved and harmony again reigns.

Within that density which you now enjoy there is a natural and inevitable swing. That swing is towards progression, progression not only of your spirit but of all that there is: physical, intellectual, emotional, heavenly, ethereal—any density, any type, anything that you can name in existence has an inevitable progression from lower to higher. And it takes place at an inexorable pace, step by step, time by time. Each of you and the planet upon which you now reside will progress, from this time and place into the next, from this cycle into the next. It was designed that within the schoolroom which you now enjoy you would learn your lessons and you would progress in harmony with your planet.

Oxal wanted to speak about harmony and progression, so they began by saying that which we hear at this time within our density outside our dwelling place is an instance of disharmony, and there are two definitions of normalcy within the air, and one is warmer, and one is colder, and within this duality there is inevitable conflict, so the result of this conflict can be heard by our ears at this time, and the destruction which is wrought shall at times be great, because there is a duality between heat and cold, and the result is a confrontation in which that duality is resolved, and harmony again reigns. Oxal went on to say within that density which we now enjoy there is a natural and inevitable swing, and that swing is towards progression not only of our spirit but of all that there is: physical, intellectual, emotional, heavenly, ethereal: any density or anything that we can name in existence has an inevitable progression from lower to higher, and it takes place at an inexorable pace, step by step, time by time, so each of us and the planet upon which we now live will progress, from this time and place into the next, from this cycle into the next, for it was designed that within the schoolroom which we enjoy we would learn our lessons, and we would progress in harmony with our planet. On May 1, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the inevitable progression of our spiritual growth back into unity with the Creator:

By choosing again and again to serve others, by choosing to seek the Creator in the self, in others, in creation, and in the center of the being, you attempt to affect the narrowing of the gap between your vibratory signature and the basic pure vibration which created all things, that infinite Creator’s Thought or Logos of Love.

So, you have a relative vibration, that is, relative to the Creator. A great many incarnations are consumed in the slow and inevitable progression and narrowing of that gap between the self and the All Self. This vibration may be seen to be that which is of love and of fear, these are the two basic dynamics within the vibratory levels. To be simplistic we would say that there is always some ratio of fear to love, however the greater the love, the greater the life, the greater the fear, the greater the death, for that which is alive, creative, and moving is of love, and that which is judging, and defending, and inwardly focusing beyond a certain point is of death.

My friends, this has not happened, and there are many, many of your people who are in disharmony with the planet itself as it progresses inevitably into the next cycle. The vibration of all that exists within the physical plane upon your planet is slowly being transformed by its very crystalline structure into a vibration which is not what it was. The space into which your entire solar system now passes is of a vibratory nature which is not what it was, and it has been planned that your thoughts, your spirits, and your progressions would be in harmony so that they are not what they were also. Unfortunately, many, many of your people are exactly what they were. They have chosen not to progress at all. They are thinking of self. They are thinking of power over others and their grade, if you wish to put it that way, is under fifty percent, by which we mean that they are thinking of themselves without regard to others more than fifty percent of the time. This is written in a holy book of your planets, and it is, unfortunately, so.

The cycle into which you are passing will inevitably come into conflict with this kind of thinking, and the storm will rage about those upon this planet who are not able to achieve harmony with the new vibration, which is a vibration of Love of a higher nature. It is a vibration in which there is much less deceit, in which it is much clearer to you that your brothers and sisters are also yourself. You see, my friends, you are all one, and to do service to your brothers and sisters is only to serve yourself. In this density it has not been very clear that this is so, and in the next density it will be much clearer.

Oxal continued by saying this has not happened, and there are many of our people who are in disharmony with the planet itself as it progresses into the next cycle where the vibration of all that exists within the physical plane upon our planet is being transformed by its crystalline structure into a vibration which is not what it was, so the space into which our solar system now passes is of a vibratory nature which is not what it was, and it has been planned that our thoughts, our spirits, and our progressions would be in harmony so that they are not what they were, but many of our people are exactly where they were because they have chosen not to progress at all, and they are thinking of self and of power over others, and their grade is under fifty percent which means that they are thinking of themselves without regard to others more than fifty percent of the time, so this is written in a holy book of our planets, and it is, unfortunately, so. Now Oxal said the cycle into which we are passing will come into conflict with this kind of thinking, and the storm will rage about those upon this planet who are not able to achieve harmony with the new vibration, which is a vibration of Love of a higher nature, for it is a vibration in which there is less deceit, and in which it is clearer to us that our brothers and sisters are also our self, so we see that we are all one, and to do service to our brothers and sisters is only to serve our self, so in this density it has not been very clear that this is so, and in the next density it will be much clearer. On July 5, 1979, Oxal spoke of the nature of the new vibration of fourth density:

Yes, my sister, there is indeed a symbol which has begun to appear upon the so-called third-eye chakra of those in your society whose vision is already partially within the world to come. And by this we do not refer to the heavenly world which occurs after death but that which has often been referred to as the Golden Age. That which seems to be a cross is actually four triangles or pyramids, arranged in such a way that they become a golden wheel which, like the sun, is an entrance into the fourth dimension of being.

There should be increasing changes, not only in this chakra but in the higher, or crown, chakra, and in the auras of many of your people at this time as they begin to become aware of what may be called the new vibration or the new age. The old vibration is, shall we say, not dying an easy death. And in its final illness and disease, it may keep many of your people from seeing the opposite of that which seems so hopeless; for all spiritual truths are opposites.

We are aware that you do not wish to be swept away, shall we say, in the ruins of this confrontation. And we ask you, please, to think of these words if you find yourself in a position where you have closed the outside world away and are thinking only of yourself. Remember, my friends, your self is, in total essence, in total harmony with all that there is. To close yourself off from it is to come into inevitable and destructive confrontation with reality. Please get off of that 50 percent fence that you are now on. Pull yourself onto the side of harmony. Even if your actions are not perfect, if you simply desire to be better, your vibrations will have been pulled off that fence, and you will begin to come into harmony with that reality you face more and more each day.

Then Oxal said they are aware that we do not wish to be swept away in the ruins of this confrontation, and they asked us to think of these words if we find our self in a position where we have closed the outside world away and are thinking only of our self, so remember that we are in total harmony with all that there is, and to close our self off from it is to come into a destructive confrontation with reality, so please get off of that 50 percent fence that we are now on, and pull our self onto the side of harmony, and even if our actions are not perfect, and if we desire to be better, our vibrations will have been pulled off that fence, and we will begin to come into harmony with that reality we face more each day. On November 15, 1974, Hatonn spoke of how we can come more into harmony with all things:

All is one, my friends. My voice is now the voice of this instrument; my thoughts are her thoughts. Please believe, my friends, that the vibration we offer you is not a vibration of personality, but is a vibration of the Creator. We are also channels. There is only one voice. Within this vibration, we are self-consciously aware that this voice is the voice of the Creator. It is simply a matter of lifting vibrations which are not so self-aware of the Creator. That, too, is spiritual vibration, and all things will eventually come into harmony in relation to your understanding.

Even if the universe for those around you remains disharmonious and difficult, if your mind is stayed upon the unity of the Creator, your own universe will become harmonious. And this is not by your doing but by the simple Love of the Creator. Meditate upon this, my friends. It is not an easy lesson. And it will require a great deal of meditation, before the practice is as easy as the intellectual acceptance.

I will leave you, my friends. I wished to share this with you, and it is indeed a great privilege to share this with you. I leave you in joy, for it is truly a joy to share with you the Love and the Light of the Creator. I am Oxal. Adonai.

This morning, I went outside and used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the back yard, the side yard, and the front yard into position so that I could use my lawnmower, Venus, to cut the grass and mulch the leaves at the same time. Then I used my trimmer to trim weeds on the walkways around the fishpond, the parking area in front of the pet cemetery, around Wuthering Heights in the front yard and the parking area in front of my home.

This afternoon I went on an errand run and bought a couple of small containers at Thieneman’s Nursery for a couple of small Striped Spider plants that came off the parent plant which have sprouted roots after being in water for a few weeks. Then I stopped in at Feeder’s Supply to buy some fish food and some cat food. My third stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some Pepsi-Zero. My fourth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s where I bought some Tylenol and a birthday card for my aunt. When I got home, I went to my neighbor’s home across the street and repaired one of the stands that holds a bird feeder as it had slipped down low enough that the deer were able to empty it in one day.

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

July 7

The Universe Is Your Womb

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

The night sky is an image which we may connect to the womb of the soul. The stars are sliding by in infinite number, their points of light flashing as jewels and moving away, then, at speeds which are impossible to express with tongue or measure.

It is in the starry womb within the silence of your being that peace, confidence, and trust in that perfect Love which Jesus brings are expressed. Rest in that womb and realize that you have yet to be born, and that this universe and all that you see before you is indeed your womb.

To become a true child of the universe will be strange and new and certainly un-peaceful. Therefore, rest back in the true nature of womb silence and feel that peace which passeth all understanding, for in the darkness of the womb of the Father-Mother-God shall you be created, and shall you create.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Hope Of Light

I am the living Spirit of the consciousness of Love.

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

S: Yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Pause]

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

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

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

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

Love Yourself

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

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

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(W channeling)

I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

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

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

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

(N channeling)

I am Laitos. I…

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

Are there other questions?

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

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

Have you further questions?

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

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

Questioner: Yes.

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

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

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

Is there a further question?

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

Hatonn: Yes.

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

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

[Pause]

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

Does that satisfy you?

M: Yes.

Hatonn: Are there any more questions?

[Pause]

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

[Tape ends.]

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

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

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

July 4

Where Is Freedom?

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

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Strength Of Waiting

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

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

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

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

We leave you in the anticipation of each discovery of the Spirit. We leave you in the peace of the consciousness of Love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Good And Bad Wood

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

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

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

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