3/31 – 4/21

Coming Home to a New Earth Gathering:  We have officially opened registration for L/L Research’s first public in-person event in three years! It will take place Sep 8–11 outside of Asheville, NC. As of this posting, seats are available.

Discussions with Jonathan Tong: The unstoppable Mr. Tong hosted Gary and Austin again for a Q&A with the Seattle Law of One Study Group. Thank you for holding this service, Jonathan! Check out the discussion here: Q&A with Gary and Austin, April 9, 2022

Peace meditation: In addition to the daily Gaia Meditation facilitated by Jim, we continued to hold the weekly world peace meditation. Facebook post here.

Team Expansion: In this period, L/L’s professional team increased by two! We onboarded a new member to work a regular part-time role as an Operations Specialist, and another to work on an as-needed basis as an Event Manager.

The former will blend their energies into the daily operation and join us in the hat business—learning how to wear many of them, sometimes multiple at once, sometimes ill-fitting, sometimes perfectly fitting, sometimes I was born to wear this hat, all of them designed to serve others through the service of the mission. This person’s presence is growing and will increasingly continue to grow our circle of collaborative teamwork in taking another small step toward fulfilling L/L Research’s potential.

The latter will help L/L Research to help meet a vital need among the readership to host in-person and online events. We know how to host events. We are uniquely situated to host events. We are good at the logistics & energetics of hosting events/holding space. But our existing operation is at max. Help is needed, not just to fulfill our designs but to bring leadership and voice to the table of event design and production.

Adding these two entities (to be announced upon conclusion of their probation period) has complexified our processes as we upgrade our coordination, communication, workflow management, etc. Our busy levels have been extra busy. They join with Daniel, L/L Research’s webmaster, who has become a regular voice and partner, expanding our team and empowering the mission with each new addition, both practically and metaphysically. We are so lucky to be working with all of them!

Note: This Blogworthy includes the bullet points of the main new hire who’s been awesome to work with and has added such great energy and ability to the team. One of her jobs in this period has been to reboot the prison ministry with Austin’s guidance. Thanks to her for her contributions!

**************

  • Working with Translators
    • Bulgarian – Received outreach from one B. who was interested in, and had already somewhat begun, translating Ra into Bulgarian, with intentions of forming an audio recording to be shared. Through successive rounds of dialogue to gain understanding, and to explain that a project to translate the Ra Contact was begun some time ago by Kirilina but stalled after reaching session 38, clarity was gained and the way forward open. Meanwhile reached out to Kirilina, got a status update (prayers and love to Kirilina!), along with her determination to continue the project. Eventually connected B. with Kirilina in the collective hopes that a collaboration might reboot the project. Typically teamwork is better than solo work. Thank you, Kirilina and B.!
    • Serbian – In a not dissimilar situation in a Balkan neighbor, a seeker, D., showed up intent on translating Ra into Serbian. As above, did a dance of finding clarification with D. while communicating with Sheyla about the same project. At the end of the day, Sheyla and D., the Serbian reader, were connected and Sheyla will take up the lead in producing a Serbian Ra Contact. Thank you, Sheyla and D.!
    • Russian – Made contact with a new Russian seeker, M., interested in translating L/L’s material into Russian. Established terms and relationships and really enjoyed her emails and her English. She will begin on the channeling transcripts starting in the 80s. Thank you, M.! | Also, finally succeeded in getting a couple books to Catherine, the Russian translator of 101, via an intermediary.
    • Spanish – Received from the onward-moving Henry several new Spanish transcripts. Thank you Henry! | And received first contact with Emiliano, a Spanish reader who is assisting Gabriel in the efforts to produce a Spanish RC, and got him set up to continue work on the transcripts.
    • Chinese – An active period for Chinese. Received contact from Wen (same name as one of L/L’s volunteer transcribers) interested in translating Ra into Chinese. Discussed the existing Simplified and Traditional Chinese-language versions, talked with Sean and Terry (the principle translators of the two versions, respectively), and made a connection between all three. Wen is going to embark on an a new version of the Chinese RC. |  Also, a young reader from China with a beautiful story of awakening and seeking that most spiritual seekers would find resonance and likeness with, Y., reached out about translating L/L’s website into Chinese. “As I am studying the work of L/L, there is always a strong impulse in my heart to help the L/L Research to translate the whole website so that many seekers in China can access it with the least distortions. I believe they will have the same feeling of coming home as I do.”
    • Polish – After an over year pause, we were surprised to receive a few Polish transcripts from Marlena. Thank you, Marlena!
    • Czech – Worked with the Czech team about a challenging situation of an individual who had produced a machine-based translation of L/L’s material, insisting that it was superior to the carefully human-translated version. Supported them in a finding a path as balanced in love and wisdom as best as we folly-prone, unwise humans can muster.
    • Portuguese – Received a few Portuguese transcripts from Marta. Thank you so much, Marta!
    • Farsi – Worked with the Farsi translator (and Daniel, L/L’s webmaster) to get bits and pieces ready to publish the first sessions of the Farsi translation of the Ra Contact! The biggest hurdle being a difficulty in getting Adobe to cooperate with the right-to-left text, which will hopefully be resolved soon. | Also, dialogued with Pupak about ways to support Meysam’s efforts with intensive internal dialogue required.
    • Korean – And last but not least, received from Sienna some more pieces for the Korean RC. Thank you, Sienna! Always, like all the translators, with a positive spirit.
  • New Hire process: Both new hires have begun their roles! It has been a large process of onboarding and training so far, including all of the work leading up to the hire that involved ensuring employment compliance for a work-at-home employee in a different state. These processes took a large part of our time this period, but the process is going smoothly and we’re eager to continue merging the new people with the squad. It’s been a joy working with them so far. (There will be a probationary period before we officially introduce them publicly, so they’ll remain behind a veil of mystery in public communication until then.) The many various tasks to complete include:
    • New state employment setup (registering for a business tax account, new hire notification, unemployment insurance account, compliance verification, etc.)
    • Work computer and software setup.
    • Registering for the many various accounts needed by the new hire.
    • Orientation, employee handbook, employment agreement, etc.
    • Introduction to processes, communication and style standards, and other policies.
    • And then the actual onboarding for work, and more.
    • Work accounting and systems sharing, etc.
  • Search Engine
    • Search engine. Yeah we’ve said it’s almost here a few times, but you know how it goes…there’s one more thing, and then we could make it better like this, and then we should really get this sorted before it launches, and then the server situation has changed, and then this bug requires a bit more work than necessary, and this new feature would be so great to push for before it launches. Daniel has dedicated an incredible amount of focus and energy on getting it ready (with no shortage of effort from us as well), and it is actually almost here…really. By next report it will be launched.
    • Processed all the feedback from the beta testing of the search engine from friends from around the world, including translators. Thank you so much!
  • Coming Home to a New Earth Gathering: Despite some medical catalyst, L/L’s new Event Manager got started on the job! Her first assignment: help design and launch the Coming Home event. At this initial stage, her presence hasn’t reduced too much work, as there is so much to impart. Invested a lot of time in meeting, planning, constructing all the logistical considerations, refining the language that would help set the container, collaborating with our TOTOH friends, launching preregistration and newsletters and public announcements, working with the venue, etc. She’s in place and is processing registrations and communicating with attendees!
  • Prague Gathering: Our dear friend and lead of the Czech translation team, Vojta, spent a week in the States with his partner, Emilly, an expat born in Indiana, living in Prague for some years, and… cousin to the person who played spontaneous matchmaker, Trisha. (An incredible story.) On Vojta and Emilly’s long sojourn in the US, they spent a week with Trish and Gary at their place. While here, we held a meeting with Vojta to discuss, agree upon, and begin planning for a Prague event! A successful Law of One gathering was held in Prague in Oct, 2019, with 15 different nationalities in attendance. After seeing what a success it was, the intention was to hold an annual event, but, the pandemic. This year will be the sequel, likely in August.
  • Homecoming Gathering: For some years, Homecoming had been held on Labor Day weekend (usually the first weekend in September). But we couldn’t yet commit to it, and the TOTOH crew proposed holding Coming Home in September, and the second weekend worked best, so we jumped on Coming Home, unsure that we’d even be holding a Homcoming. Well, after multiple rounds of dialogue and meeting with Jim, and his own decision to go ahead and open his home to the event, we decided to do it! And then learned that every tent rental place in the area was booked up for that month! On a hail mary, found a company willing to deliver from far away (but twice the cost). We decided to make Homecoming a smaller, alumni-only, low-key event. And in tandem with the above two events, got that one opened as well in this period. And well ahead of officially opening it, Trish gleefully began the experimentation of various dishes in the kitchen, excited to be expressing her love language for a large group again.
  • 102 Editing: Due to all of the above and below busyness, and an extra crunch due to Gary’s meditation retreat, it’s been a difficult task to cycle the editing of Living the Law of One 102 back into the workflow, but with more conscious effort applied to making room, the work has continued.
  • Card deck and LOO typos
    • There are actually two card deck projects on…deck. One being the potential production of a tarot deck faithful to Ra’s standards being handled by some creative professionals who crossed our path, and one being a more inspirational, non-tarot deck based on the Law of One from our publisher. The former didn’t have any movement for this period, but we met with Schiffer to get the ball rolling on the latter.
    • And then a whammy: a reader discovered significant typos in the 40th anniversary edition of the Law of One. She wrote in about a few instances where “light” was replaced with “fight.” We discovered a few more.
    • The LOO publisher created the text to produce the 40th anniversary boxed set by OCR’ing the physical books into digital format, we would learn as a result of this. Lowercase l’s sometimes become f’s in the OCR process. The publisher used the same 40th anniversary text to publish a re-formatted version of the paperback LOO books into a 6×9 format, released just a couple months ago. Meaning that the same typos are present in the paperbacks.
    • One of L/L’s highest duties is to faithfully preserve the fidelity of the material for the interested seeker, particularly the Law of One text, so “fight” subbing in for “light” is significant. We immediately took the printed Law of One books from our online store and reached out to the publisher, who has come to understand our duty to and care for this mission and its material, about the issue, emphasizing how serious this is to us. Fortunately, they got right on the issue and hit pause on their own sales. And… work began between them and us to sort through how it happened and how extensive it is…
    • Enter research on our end. Literally as of this Blogworthy posting, Trish is typing up the abundance of mostly typesetting errors she’s discovered in the newly formatted books (missing paragraph breaks, wrongly inserted line breaks, hyphenated changes, etc.) There is also some puzzlement about what happened to the text that we had reviewed and approved/rejected when they produced the 40th anniversary edition. Each update they wanted to make to the text (the great majority of which were grammatical) were reviewed by us. It seems that the new edition incorporated all of our decisions, but missed some.
    • Held a meeting with the publisher to get the first round of results from their own investigation. They’ve been very supportive, understanding, and responsibility-taking in the mishap.
  • New hire: All Systems A Go!
    • Worked with Austin to set up all necessary programs and laptop settings
    • Learned about and implemented basic workflows and online tools used by the team
    • Familiarized self with the organization’s guidelines
  • Future SOPs: Created a spreadsheet to help track questions about processes, which will be continually added to and referenced when producing SOPs later down the line
  • Podcast transcripts
    • Set up a Dropbox account to work with Christine, a volunteer who is helping to transcribe podcasts
    • Completed editing of four podcast transcripts, with another about halfway done
  • Prison Ministry Program
    • Learned about the prison ministry program
    • Helped to create the seeking letter to email to volunteers
    • Reviewed all volunteer responses and answered their questions
    • Worked with Austin to finalize the list of volunteers by selecting five for the service
    • Drafted the welcome letter that will be emailed to chosen volunteers
    • Set up the Trello board that will be used to manage the program
    • Responded to letters from incarcerated seekers asking for books and newsletters
    • Working on creating The Trello Process document to help guide volunteers
  • Seeker ministry: We continued the regular service of responding to a wide variety of emails from seekers from all around the globe about a number of different topics. There are usually a lot! It’s always an honor and a blessing to be able to connect with people in this way. After some orientation and training, we also integrated the new hire into the process, spreading out the workload a bit more.
  • Social Media/Printed Book Sharing of the Confederation’s Message:
    • Updated Facebook and Twitter with Confederations quotes, created and shared Instagram images, and updated Patreon with L/L news and offerings.
    • Continuing working on producing the Ra Contact YouTube Videos.
    • Shipped book orders around the world and managed the online store, with various customer inquiries to process.
    • Implemented edits to channeling transcripts on the website
    • Got the Portuguese Living the Law of One 101 added to the Translations section of the online store that directs the interested reader to the publisher’s store. As this was created through conventional means—a foreign publisher acquiring the foreign-language rights, translating and printing the book—it won’t be available as a free PDF for a couple years yet.
    • Continued project of digitizing channeling audio, including discovering channelings and meetings that have yet to be transcribed/added to the website. The sometimes haphazard way that cassettes were recorded and recovered over and non-systematically stored at the time is humorous.
  • Audiobook: Producing audiobooks has been one of our most molasses-speed projects. They are so massively intensive that we eventually gave up trying to do it in house after successfully editing and mastering 101 and Ra Contact. Next step was to commission a person on the volunteer list with the skillset, but while she is close to reaching the finish line, and we have formed a great relationship, it is going on a year now for one book. Thus began investigation into unaffiliated professional services to get the remainder of the Jim-recorded audiobook library into publication.
  • Nuts & Bolts:
    • Undertook normal website maintenance to the library site and the online store.
    • Completed several weeks worth of the bookkeeping, including building new systems for the events.
    • Fixed an error that caused L/L’s little Etsy shop to go offline.
    • Tried to find a way to disable ads from the start of our videos on youtube. Research thus far indicates that it’s not possible (outside of having an ad blocker on the user’s end)
  • Smatterings: Met with one of the 35 job applicants whose resume so caught our eye, particularly around her pioneering skill and expertise in designing group programs for healing through creative self-expression, that we asked her if she’d be available to meet. Enjoyed a wonderful video meeting with an open-hearted and funny entity who we subsequently invited to the Coming Home event in order that some cross-pollination learning between us and her might occur. | Continued internal dialogue about Bring4th and our almost non-existent ability to be involved or support the site. | Discovered that some of the links on our tarot page were throwing up errors for our antivirus programs and, by great synchronicity, our friend, Paul, reached out to share that he had found a new and clear source for the original Comte de Saint-Germain version on whose work Fathman and Zain (the version that Don used) were built. That solved the problem for two of the three links!
  • Intermediate Circle: On our own time, met over at Jim’s on Apr 13 for a “five questions” circle. (Each of the five instruments takes a question.)
  • C/C Circles: On our own time, met over at Trish and Gary’s on Apr 20 for a smaller C/C circle where our group question focused on the disclaimer that the Confederation issues about taking what resonates and leaving the rest behind.

Personal Sharings

Gary: I would have liked to use this space to talk about my recent experience spent in 10 days of Noble Silence at a vipassana meditation retreat, and the profound, chakra-opening experiences I had there while deep in meditation, but the stark contrast between silence and busyness has never been more apparent to me. I remain slogged down in the latter, so there is no extra time/energy at the moment.

I have long wanted to reboot my ancient blog in order to write about a wingèd spirit’s desire for the skies through the slats of the (mental) prison bars, accompanied by those moments when the soul takes flight after eras of moonlight groping and stumbling, and I’ve written up a long-form account of my retreat, but that too has been put on the backburner. Hopefully it, like the heart, will see the light of day.

In the meantime, we send prayers and healing energy to the Dutch translator, Erik, and his family in light of some of the most challenging catalyst a third-density entity can face: the hard medical diagnosis.

2022-04-01

2/25-3/30

And here is the ceremonial note about the irregularity of this Blogworthy Report. For this round, Gary departed on a personal journey for a 10 days of silence at an intensive vipassana meditation retreat in mid-March but sent me his authored portion of this before leaving. A report should have been posted soon after, but as tends to happen, the plate was a bit overloaded with the reduced human power, along with a confluence of catalyst in my (Austin’s) personal life that further stretched the mental capacities. So there’s the reason this time. 🙂

Channeling Circles: Our channeling circles continue going strong as we gathered several times since the last Blogworthy:

Peace meditation: We continued the peace meditation that we began at the end of February, scheduling it for every Saturday at 11:00am Eastern time lasting until 11:11am. You can find more information in the Facebook post.

Interviews: We have a few interviews to share, including two from Jonathan Tong, who leads an online Law of One study group, and Gabriel Lugo, who is leadingthe effort to produce a Spanish Ra Contact.

Spring Light/Lines: Time came for the seasonal Light/Lines newsletter. Jim selected the channeling session and drafted his portions of the Notes to the Readers, then for the first time Trish drafted our own portion of the Notes to Our Readers. It was then formatted and published to the website, sent out to the email list, and printed/stuffed/sent to the snail mail list. Check it out on the Light/Lines Newsletter page.

A Book of Days Narration: Jim recorded another narration from A Book of Days to share via Youtube, this one titled “The Holy Ground of Consciousness” – an inspiring message from Carla’s channeling of the Holy Spirit. Check it out here.

Coming Home to a New Earth Gathering: We are very happy to report that, after a long slumber for public events, we are getting back into gear and beginning event planning! Oh does it feel good! Not only is facilitating the linking of hearts an important part of our mission and a great honor, on a more personal level we’ve just missed everyone so much. Youdon’tevenknow.

For our event, in collaboration with our friends and co-facilitators of TOTOH, we will be holding the Coming Home to a New Earth Gathering from Sep 8–11 outside of Asheville, North Carolina, our first in-person gathering since before the pandemic.

Our focus for this year’s gathering is on actively cooperating with and supporting the increasing 4D+ energies in a more dedicated fashion, both individually and collectively. How can we embody unconditional love? How can we serve the healing of our planet and its peoples? How can we discover and share our particular gifts? What would it mean to deepen our commitment to fulfilling our individually unique paths? Etc.

Registration will be opened sometime around mid-April and announced via the Gatherings Newsletter. Stay tuned!

**************

  • New Hire process: The new hire process has nearly reached its conclusion. The journey included:
    • 35 total applications received and reviewed. Thank you to everyone who applied. The process made us wish that we could hire 35 people.
    • Interviewing four final candidates. A massive THANK YOU to all four who gave their time to the process. We felt genuine connection with all of the candidates, and were faced with making one of the most difficult decision of our lives.
    • Role reconfiguration. At some point in the process, we had a lightbulb moment realizing that hiring an employee for administrative/project-and-volunteer management/more regular duties, then a contractor for the event and workshop management, made sense. So that’s what we ended up aiming for an ultimately deciding.
    • We convened with Jim on the process, who offered his own selections and then interviewed our two final candidates, before all four of us landed on our final decision.
    • After making the official selections and celebrating, more work was needed in the form of drafting an Employee Agreement and Handbook, setting up payroll stuff, registering as an employer in another state, finding and setting up an work laptop (then ultimately returning it due to a hardware defect then finding another one), and lots of other fun logistical and HR details.
  • Search Engine: After lots of work, research, and testing, Daniel found the perfect search engine to implement on the new site. We went through an initial testing process where we evaluated factors such as:
    • How it displays return
    • Variations on terms and typo sensitivity. A “did you mean?” option for spelling errors and incomplete words.
    • Numbering and tagging systems for the conscious channeling library, which will further aid with study of the archive and have implications far into the future.
    • Things like results counters, result-type headers, and dozens of other things.
    • We then reached out to over 50 of our amazing friends and volunteers to help beta test the engine, and collected some extensive feedback. Amazingly, it seemed to have virtually no real bugs and received very high praise from most testers. And since the search engine will work for translations too, we sought feedback from translators for their particular languages – a really cool feature we weren’t expecting, but as usual, Daniel exceeds expectations.
    • We’re nearing homeplate and should be launching in April!
  • Other new website stuff:
    • One benefit of being a non-profit is that some companies like Microsoft offer some pretty impressive benefits, such as free software, credits for servers, and the like. Daniel discovered that their server credits would be ideal for the search engine, so we went through the process of registering with them to claim the credit. It was an involved process to set up L/L Research as an official org in Microsoft’s system, but upon doing so we found many other benefits that we’ve been poking around with.
  • Working with Translators
    • Farsi (Persian) – Meysam, with support from Pupak and Julien, has officially delivered everything needed to publish Sessions 1 – 12 of the Ra Contact, the front matter included. So exciting. Thank you, Meysam, for that and your ever positive vibe.
    • Korean – Sienna remains undeterred in her sizeable project to revise to Ra Contact standards the Korean translation that manifested on our doorsteps thanks to a family who wishes to remain anonymous. She has sent sessions 1 – 26 and we worked with her to review and get her the other needed pieces. Thank you, Sienna!
    • Catherine – It is a report for books, it seems, as after a year or two of dedicated work, Catherine has sent us a Russian translation of Living the Law of One 101. And expressed desire to continue the work, moving on next perhaps to A Concept Guide. What a gift. Thank you, Catherine!
    • Chinese – Held multiple rounds of dialogue with Wen S. about the prospect of contribute traditional Chinese-language translations to the library, with desire for something centered on Ra, but we are trying to get clear on that. Like all translators, Wen has a love for Ra’s precision and a desire for fidelity to the intention and meaning of their message as faithfully as it can be reproduced in another language.
    • Serbian – The journey of the Serbian translation goes on. Reached out to Jochen then dialogued with Alex and Sheyla about producing a TRC version from an existing and in-need-of-much-editing Serbian LOO. After some volleys it seems that Sheyla may take up the work. Thank you, Sheyla! And in the meantime, another seeker has self-embarked on his own question of Ra translation. We are trying to understand the nature of his project and how or whether it intersects with the above.
    • Spanish – And as the world spins, Henry continues to quietly produce Spanish transcripts. Thank you so much, Henry!
    • Romanian – And totally out of left field, Horia delivered a fully translated Crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater in Romanian! We didn’t know he was working on it. Surprise translations are always the best kind of gift.
  • Translations published to the library site:
  • Gatherings: Coming Home and Homecoming
    • As mentioned above, we will be hosting events again this year! Worked with Jess, BJ, and Aaron of TOTOH to lay the groundwork for our first event since before the pandemic.
    • Worked with the former venue of Coming Home, with much gratitude to their care and attention, but ultimately landed on a new venue thanks to the scouting efforts of Jess. Worked with the new venue and put down a deposit!
    • Issued updates to the Gatherings Newsletter. Registration to open mid-April.
    • Also worked with Jim to plan for a potential Homecoming Gathering this year, also our first since before the pandemic. We will wait until mid-May, give or take, to make the call on that one. A small shout-out to Anthony for reaching out and offering to arrive early to help with set up!
  • Bring4th: Dug into dialogue with Steve about the state of Bring4th and potential options for the future. He has communicated to the forums a snapshot of the challenges involved.  
  • Podcasts Transcripts:
    • Received outreach from Christine P. along with a surprise transcript of one of our podcast episodes. She has offered to voluntarily create transcripts for us of the Law of One podcast! We had made some effort in the past to produce transcripts, but it didn’t come to fruition as we don’t value the podcast like we do the channeling transcripts, and energy was allocated elsewhere. But Christine made the case that:
      – 
      People with hard of hearing or who cannot hear can still enjoy the podcasts by reading what you discussed. You guys are very helpful in breaking down the material and offer great wisdom.
      – 
      People can copy/paste from the transcription and easily add it to their Law of One notes.
      – 
      People who are in an environment who cannot access volume (say at work or out somewhere) can read the transcript instead.
       Gives people the option to listen and follow along with the words.
      – 
      It’s nice to go on a website and browse a transcript if they do not have the time to listen to a full podcast. Or they can read part of the writing, get intrigued by the topic, then go listen to your soothing voices.
      – 
      To which we added: foreign readers generally have an easier time reading a transcript rather than listening to the spoken English
    • As a result of which we did some digging and realized (remembered) that there are around 50 transcripts in our files! They just need some editing. So we accepted her offer with much gratitude for the great kindness and moved forward in collaboration to set up a system. She intends to transcribe not only the Law of One podcasts, but the archive with Carla, as well.  Thank you so much, Christine!
  • Study Groups: Points of excitement for us, added a Finnish group (as in, Finland) and an Alabamian (as in, Birmingham, Alabama) to L/L’s Study Group Directory.
  • Seeker Ministry: As usual, emails from seekers all over the world arrived in the inbox sharing their stories, asking questions about the material, seeking guidance on their paths, and generally offering a beautiful glimpse of the variety of the Creator’s expression of third density. It’s always a large honor/duty to respond and connect with these beautiful souls.
  • Social Media/Printed Book Sharing of the Confederation’s Message:
    • Updated Facebook and Twitter with Confederations quotes, created and shared Instagram images, and updated Patreon with L/L news and offerings.
    • Continuing working on producing the Ra Contact YouTube Videos.
    • Shipped book orders around the world and managed the online store, with various customer inquiries to process.
  • Nuts & Bolts
    • Worked with the LOO publisher and our own legal counsel to finalize an unresolved question on ebook royalties.
    • Produced the six-month report to issue royalties on sales of The Ra Contact to Tobey.
    • With the time for annual filing approaching, gathered all the documentation, produced all the reports, updated the 990, and got the whole package over to our CPA.
    • Communicated with the LOO published about the new format books they created for the LOO, making them 6×9 for the first time in their history, and changing out our small inventory.
    • PO Box runs and bank deposits.
    • Maintenance on the online store and the website.
    • And all of the regular fun stuff that blesses our to-do lists.
  • Smatterings: Thanks to a reader, learned of two sets of duplicate channelings on the website. Tracked down the true date, merged and edited the transripts, and updated the site. | Updated our work management applications. | Learned that one of L/L’s primary volunteer transcribers, Wen K., was born and raised in Taiwan! Connected her with Terry, our friend of two decades responsible for the first Chinese LOO.
  • Intermediate Circle: We met on March 9th and March 23rd, continuing our practice of channeling, hoping to improve and refine our ability to serve as channels of the Confederation’s message. The circle continues to deepen in connection.
  • Extra Circles: We had our second C/C channeling circle on March 2nd, where the topic of bellicosity was on everyone’s mind. It was another successful session with great energy, showing promising potential for the future. Some logistical challenges caused a humorous hiccup that resulted in a solo channeling for Austin.
