The Camelot Journal

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.

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.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Liquor Of Righteousness

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

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

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

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

We leave you in peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[No queries.]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Natural Darkness Of Flesh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(Carla channeling)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Healing Unwellness

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

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

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

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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