The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from January 30, 1983:

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We wish to speak a few words on what for you is, indeed, of great difficulty in your illusion, that being what you know as choice. You, as all entities, are free willed in each thing. Each of your life situations is to you many different options of which you weigh and choose. Each entity’s choice becomes that entity’s responsibility. When your choice is made and the moment accepted, neither hate nor love the choice, but accept it for the moment. With each choice you are… with each choice take a step. Use your…

We are experiencing some difficulty in maintaining a good contact with this instrument. We would, as he requests, now transfer this contact to another. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again through this instrument in Love and Light. To continue. As you make your choices in this illusion, you will find that each choice brings yet more possibilities for choice. You operate within this illusion in a manner which might be called trial and error, though we would deemphasize the error aspect, for we do not feel that any choice can be an error. Yet from your experience you may discern those choices which are less efficacious than other choices, but this discernment is only possible as you continue to make choice after choice. You will find that the experiences which you gather through the making of choices will offer you hints, shall we say, that will aid you in further decision making, so that the entity which is able to analyze through the use of the mind those experiences which it has encountered is then able to take the gleanings of this analysis with it in meditation, and is able to allow new thought forms and possibilities in thinking to occur within the being.

Then this entity is able to continue a process of evolution which you may simply call growth, as you continue to expand and grow in your ability to utilize your mind, your body, and your spirit complexes in an ever-expanding understanding, if we may use this term, of the nature of your illusion. Then you will find a pathway which lies before you that becomes more and more distinct. For as you choose, you become more polarized, shall we say, by the choices you have made, and this polarization then becomes likened unto a momentum within your very being. The momentum of your choices to be of service, however you have chosen, then shows to the attentive entity the path which is most efficacious within each situation that it shall face in what you shall call your future.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about how we make choices that can aid our spiritual evolution. They began by saying as you make your choices in this illusion, you will find that each choice brings more possibilities for choice because you operate within this illusion by trial and error, though we would deemphasize the error aspect, for we do not feel that any choice can be an error, yet from your experience you may discover those choices which are less efficient than other choices, but this discernment is only possible as you continue to make choices, and you will find that the experiences which you gather through making choices will offer you hints that will aid you in further decision making, so that the entity which is able to analyze, through the use of the mind, those experiences which it has encountered is then able to take the harvest of this analysis with it in possibilities in thinking to occur within the being. Hatonn went on to say this entity is able to continue a process of evolution called growth, as you continue to grow in your ability to utilize your mind, your body, and your spirit complexes in an ever-expanding understanding of the nature of your illusion, and then you will find a pathway which lies before you that becomes more distinct, for as you choose you become more polarized by the choices you have made, and this polarization becomes like momentum within your being, and the momentum of your choices to be of service shows to the attentive entity the path which is most efficient within each situation that it shall face in your future. On March 28, 2009, Q’uo said that if we choose to do so, we can become positively polarized seekers:

You are walking matrices which are able to juxtapose and merge the physical and the metaphysical, the outer and the inner, the temporal and the eternal. Each of you is a walking gateway between two worlds. By calling upon the spiritual or metaphysical aspect of yourself, you awaken within yourself a great array of resources, and these resources may be used as you choose. Primary among these resources, in terms of increasing your rate of positive polarization, is your awareness of yourself as a person whose will is powerful.

When you set your intention to do something, you change things for yourself in terms of your energy body and in terms of that connection that you have with the metaphysical world. And so, the first thing we would suggest to those who would wish to increase their rate of polarization is to set your intention. There are various ways of doing this, the most simple of which is to say, “I set my intention to be one who wishes to polarize as quickly as I possibly can and still be able to integrate my learning.” However, it is efficacious to put more time in on the creation of this statement to yourself and your faculty of will. You may wish to write it out or have a ceremony or ritual whereby you, in conjunction with your guidance, set this intention.

Do not be afraid to choose, my friends. Do not fear that which is called the failure by many of your people, for there is in truth no such thing as failure. There may be instances wherein your choices shall not yield the results which you had hoped they would yield when you made the choices. Yet this is only a function of your imperfect understanding of what it is that will truly benefit your evolution in mind, body, and spirit. Rest within the assurance that you cannot fail as you choose, and choose, and continue to choose the path which you travel. You do not understand the complete overview, shall we say, of your journey, for this is not the density of understanding. You operate within a forgetting that increases the value, shall we say, of the choices that you make and the path that you travel in your total beingness. Therefore, forget the fear of failure. Choose and continue to choose fearlessly then, knowing that each choice has the opportunity to teach. And if you will listen with your inner being, discern with your mind, and join the two in meditation, you shall lead yourself through your own choices along that path which is the most efficacious for the growth that you so earnestly seek at this time.

Then Hatonn said do not be afraid to choose, and do not fear being a failure, for there is no such thing as failure, but there may be times where your choices shall not yield the results which you had hoped they would yield when you made the choices, yet this is only a function of your imperfect understanding of what it is that will benefit your evolution in mind, body, and spirit, so rest within the assurance that you cannot fail as you choose, and continue to choose the path which you travel, for you do not understand the overview of your journey since this is not the density of understanding because you operate within a forgetting that increases the value of the choices that you make and the path that you travel in your total beingness, so forget the fear of failure, and continue to choose fearlessly then, knowing that each choice has the opportunity to teach, and if you will listen with your inner being, discern with your mind, and join the two in meditation, you shall lead yourself through your choices along that path which is the most efficient for growth that you seek at this time. On November 13, 2010, Q’uo said that we cannot fail to be of service if we set our intention to be of service:

It is important, therefore, to begin with the knowledge that faith alone can give the assurance that all is well, and all shall be well, so that when your life takes a turn and seems out of control you know that your purpose and your service endure and are as close to you as your breathing. You cannot fail to be of service if you set your intention to do so. You can only fail to appreciate your efforts. We encourage you to appreciate your own efforts, to respect your own intentions even when they do not seem to result in the service that you thought was yours, for all things are of service to one who loves.

We would now attempt to close through another instrument, if possible. We shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(A channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you through this instrument. We would speak but briefly in closing to give the reminder that if ever our presence is desired, all you need to do is ask, and we shall be with you. Seek us out in your meditation. We are with you always. We shall leave you tonight in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. We are known to you as Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our one infinite Creator. What a privilege it is once again to be with you. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity which you extend by your invitation. We are always excited to speak to this group. This group has been our longtime friend, shall we say, and to join with friends is, indeed, an honor and a great joy. May we then ask if we might be of assistance by attempting to answer queries this evening. May we ask for the first query?

C: I’ll try to get a question out of this, and try not to ramble too much, and try not to ask for anything specific. But of late I’ve been extremely nervous and confused and unable to make decisions. I can’t seem to distinguish what is the proper avenue to take to serve others around me. When I meditate on it, it seems that a feeling that no matter what the choice, I would be serving myself more than others. Could you talk to me about such a state of confusion?

I am Latwii, and shall attempt to penetrate to the heart of your query, my brother. Within your illusion are many opportunities for learning. The greatest opportunities present themselves as what your people call the problem, the crisis, the trauma, for when things are going smoothly, my friend, what is being learned? Quite often, little of value. But look at the situation which presents the crisis. Within the self, one seeks in such a situation to resolve the crisis. Yet if the crisis is of such proportions that the entity cannot put, shall we say, all the pieces together to complete the puzzle in one fell swoop, then the entity finds itself mired, shall we say, within the crisis.

To put it more properly, may we suggest that the crisis is within the entity, and the depths of the crisis begin to appear great. If you look at any situation which might be called a crisis, any such situation has the ability to awaken the deeper portions of an entity’s being so that awareness is increased. The awareness is increased usually through what may be called pain, the suffering, the tears. The trauma of the situation which is not resolved or balanced within the thinking of the entity experiencing it begins to carve out within the entity new boundaries of perception, new potentials for experience. As the entity consciously works with the catalyst of the crisis, the opportunities for learning expand, yet are often unrecognized as the entity continues the process of working with the catalyst. Confusion often occurs as the entity attempts to make decisions that shall, it hopes, end the crisis.

C asked: “I can’t seem to distinguish what is the proper avenue to take to serve others around me. When I meditate on it, it seems that a feeling that no matter what the choice, I would be serving myself more than others. Could you talk to me about such a state of confusion?” Latwii began by saying within your illusion are many opportunities for learning. The greatest opportunities present themselves as trauma, for when things are going smoothly what is being learned? Then Latwii said quite often, little of value, but look at the situation which presents the crisis, for within the self one seeks to resolve the crisis, yet if the crisis is of such proportions that the entity cannot put all the pieces together to complete the puzzle in one fell swoop, then the entity finds itself mired within the crisis. Then Latwii said we suggest that the crisis is within the entity, and the depths of the crisis begin to appear great, but if you look at any situation which might be called a crisis, it has the ability to awaken the deeper portions of an entity’s being so that awareness is increased, and the awareness is increased through what may be called pain, so the trauma of the situation which is not balanced within the thinking of the entity experiencing it begins to carve out within the entity new potentials for experience, for as the entity consciously works with the catalyst of the crisis, the opportunities for learning expand, yet they are often unrecognized as the entity continues the process of working with the catalyst, for confusion often occurs as the entity attempts to make decisions that shall end the crisis. On May 30, 1982, Latwii spoke of how we can take advantage of opportunities for learning:

Entities upon your planet experience the depressed qualities of being when they have recognized within themselves, perhaps at a subconscious level, that they are not taking advantage of those opportunities for learning the lessons for which they incarnated, and therefore feel a drawing within the self so that the self might examine more carefully the purpose for the incarnation, and the lessons which are being presented to the self. This state of depressing the awareness within the being hopefully then, with guidance from others, will result in a new direction being chosen, and a new desire to proceed in that direction.

There are various resources and forces within the deeper mind, as well as aid from those presences which you may call angelic or guides, which provide the entity with the impulse to resolve the situation in the most efficacious manner possible according to the entity’s chosen polarity. Therefore, the entity may find the, shall we say, easier solutions quite difficult to make, for the easier solutions are not always the most efficacious. The entity is provided with aid from the inner resources that allow it to make the most helpful choice according to the polarity which it has chosen. The situation of crisis, then, allows an intensive experience of choosing to continue along a certain path of polarity to the entity. The crisis is, shall we say, the cutting edge of consciousness. The entity may go in either direction, the service to self or the service to others. The more intensive the lesson, the greater the crisis, the more opportunity for learning.

Do not fear that you shall make the wrong choice, for no choice is final, and each choice builds upon previous choices and will lead to yet further choices, so that the entire process may be looked upon as one which continues to provide the opportunity for increasing the polarity of the individual. As you move through this situation, attempt to view it as often as possible from what might be called a neutral situation or position. Perhaps within your meditation you may be able to remove yourself from the emotional colorations which lend to your confusion and place your attention in a position which allows you to look down upon the situation, shall we say, and see yourself and all others within it as actors upon a stage. Look then to the dynamics of the movement and interaction. See that part which you play. Become the author of the script. Attempt to discover what potentials await your learning. What is the lesson that is being taught? How has it been learned? How might the learning be increased? Attempt to remove yourself periodically in such a manner so that you might gain an overview and a fuller appreciation of the process which presents you with great opportunities for learning. In such a discipline, then, your deeper mind and those entities which aid through it may be able to give you clearer guidance so that your choices might be more informed and effective. Attempt to remove yourself from fear and to remove fear from yourself, for this, like any emotion, only distorts that which is seen and experienced. Go forth in joy and confidence knowing that you have great opportunity to learn and to share the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator which seeks to be known in each moment that you experience.

Latwii went on to say there are various resources within the deeper mind, as well as aid from those presences called guides which provide the entity with the impulse to resolve the situation in the most helpful manner possible according to the entity’s chosen polarity, and the entity may find the easier solutions difficult to make, for the easier solutions are not always the most helpful, so the entity is provided with aid from the inner resources that allow it to make the most helpful choice according to the polarity which it has chosen, and the situation of crisis allows an intensive experience of choosing to continue along a certain path of polarity to the entity, for the crisis is the cutting edge of consciousness, so the entity may go in either direction, the service to self or the service to others, and the more intensive the lesson, the greater the crisis, the more opportunity for learning. Latwii continued by saying do not fear that you shall make the wrong choice, for no choice is final, and each choice builds upon previous choices and will lead to yet further choices, so that the entire process may be looked upon as one which continues to provide the opportunity for increasing the polarity of the individual and as you move through this situation, attempt to view it as often as possible from a neutral position, so within your meditation you may be able to remove yourself from the emotional colorations which lend to your confusion and place your attention in a position which allows you to look down upon the situation and see yourself and all others within it as actors upon a stage, and look to the dynamics of the interaction, and see that part which you play, so you become the author of the script, and attempt to discover what potentials await your learning, yet attempt to remove yourself periodically in such a manner so that you gain a fuller appreciation of the process which presents you with opportunities for learning, for in such a discipline your deeper mind and those entities which aid through it may be able to give you clearer guidance, so that your choices might be more effective, and attempt to remove fear from yourself, for this emotion distorts that which is experienced, yet go forth in joy and confidence knowing that you have a great opportunity to learn and to share the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator which seeks to be known in each moment that you experience. On May 16, 1976, Hatonn described the value of removing fear from ourselves:

Again and again, we have suggested meditation. There is a method of dealing with the illusion, by which you can use those happenings which are within the illusion in such a way that they become reality, and they are so constructive in helping you along your spiritual journey.

The method for doing this is to remove fear from your attitude towards the illusion. Meditation is a great aid towards removing fear, for if you are confident from your meditation of the fact that all that exists is Love, then whatever occurs on the outer planes, no matter whether it is pain, or death, or birth, or pleasure, you will be able to see it for what it is—that is, Love—and accept pain and death, as well as pleasure and birth, so that the circumstance which is real upon the outer plane is absorbed into your being as it is, that is, as reality, and not as the illusion which your premature reactions will cause it to become.

Love casts out fear. This has been written in your holy works, and it is, indeed, true. If you fear any set of circumstances that may occur, you will not be able to see the reality of Love within these circumstances. It takes a good deal of resolute practice to refrain, finally, from fear of pain. But, my friends, on the outer planes, this is what is. Pain and pleasure. Accept both within that stillness of being which is an awareness of Love.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, thank you very much, Latwii. That gives me quite a lot to work with. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my brother, for this opportunity to serve. May we attempt another query at this time?

A: Yes, Latwii, I have a question, and it has to do with my channeling. I was wondering if you could aid me at all in why I might be having difficulties in picking up a channel. At meditations, now I seem to draw a blank even though the tuning seems to be well and I’ve been mediating daily, but I’m a little confused on why I’m drawing a blank.

[Page 7 is missing from the original transcript.]

Latwii: … personal origin. The concept itself is more clearly transmitted from Confederation entity to the instrument. Each process and transformation which the instrument opens the self to will require of the instrument that it increases its desire to be of such service and increase its willingness to be the fool, shall we say. Yet as these continual exercises—or mental pushups as we may call them—continue to be offered to the instrument, the entity will find the ability to transmit Confederation philosophy is quite enhanced, and the service which it wishes to offer is likewise enhanced.

May we answer in more depth, my sister?

A: No, that will give me something to work with.

I am Latwii. We would simply comment at this time in response to both queries that it is often the plight and pleasure of the seeker to find the opportunities for increasing service and oneness to be presented in situations which provide the trauma, the doubt, the confusion, and the difficulty in perceiving clearly. This is the nature of any exploration into that which may be called the unknown. Rejoice, my friends, in your doubt, in your confusion, in your frustrations, and in your anger. For they are signposts which alert you to the fact that your seeking is increasing, and the opportunities for knowing the Love and Light of the one Creator are also increased.

May we attempt another query at this time?

A: I have none, but thank you for that last bit, Latwii.

C: Yes, thank you.

I am Latwii. It has been a great privilege, my friends, to be with you this evening, even for what you might call a brief moment. All such gatherings are treasured by us who are known to you as Latwii. We cannot express to you our gratitude in the appropriate terms which would be understood clearly. We feel appreciation within those who have had queries this evening for that which we have humbly offered in service. May we express, then, to each present the same gratitude increased manyfold, for you provide us with great service by asking for our humble service. For each, we seek to know and to serve the one Creator who resides within each portion of the one creation, and by such offerings of service have you allowed us to increase our knowledge of the One Who is present in all. We shall leave you at this time in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Be at peace, my friends. Go forth in joy, for yours is the great journey into unity. I am Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “As we contemplate the glories of God that already exist, we are acknowledging God and bearing witness to Its grace, which has provided all this good without our having asked for it or begged for it. We become witnesses of the activity of God on Earth.

At night, looking up at the starry sky, no one is ever anxious about tomorrow’s sun. Not one of us will sit up tonight to pray that the sun will rise tomorrow. God requires no supplication, information, or advice from us in regard to the government of Its universe, and even should we pray all night in an attempt to change the hour of sunrise, there is no doubt but that the sun will rise tomorrow at its appointed time. Tomorrow night the moon and the stars will continue to move in their orbits; the tides will rise and ebb twice in every twenty-four hours. Praying to God, petitioning God, or begging God will not change God’s law. God’s work is done; God’s law is in operation.

In the contemplation of the wonders of God’s universe, we transcend the desire to inform God of anything or to ask God for anything. Such contemplation lifts us to the heights of the Psalmist’s vision that the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. In a quiet, silent walk in a park, by seashore, lake, or river, in our aloneness, we catch that vision. We look up to the hills, to the mountains, to the heights of consciousness and behold only that which God beholds and know only that which God knows. Anything that lifts us in consciousness above the clamor of the senses and the noises of this world will serve to ring us into the presence of God. When we reach the divine heights of inspiration, we find God. God is a deep silence; God is stillness, the stillness of all that is human.”

This afternoon I ran three errands with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My second stop

was at Speedway Gas where I filled all of Stanley’s tires to 32 psi. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a couple of prescriptions.

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

February 5

Vehicles Of The Spirit

I am the Spirit of the living Christ, and I speak to you through this instrument in peace.

May you experience Love washing over you in waterfalls and great channels of swift-moving power.

Yet if you do not experience the Spirit in this wise, know that it is also through quiet and subtle movements and effects that the spirit makes itself known to the churches and to humankind. For it is not only those who gesture and speak with authority, claiming a closeness with the Spirit by virtue of station or special knowledge that others do not have, that spread transformation upon the Earth but also every movement of light, every creation of form and every happenstance and event which carries the message of the Spirit of Christ.

Look for the spirit of Love in unlikely and hidden places as well as the great shelves and benches of sunlit and authoritative existence and information, for we of the principle of Love scorn nothing. All is a vehicle fit for the Spirit, and all is fit to be transformed through Jesus the Christ.

May the peace of transformation be with you now and always.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn, Oxal, and Latwii channelings for this session come from January 23, 1983:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn. We greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator. We would like to express our appreciation and joy in being called among you. Our small and at times seemingly meaningless messages, however, we hope may be at some point in your lives in your illusion of some help. This evening, we would like to tell of a small entity who in his life would at times jump from here to there with no direction in mind. He continuously sought for whatever materialistic things his life might offer in the way of joy and happiness. In this small entity’s life he acquired many items, items that for a short while might bring happiness as they would intrigue the imagination for a short period of space and time and then would be laid aside to acquire another object.

This pattern was repeated for many, many years until the small entity became larger, and then once again in the much later years became bent with age. This entity sought many, many years for things of the illusion which he could hold, but, my friends, he did not contemplate the one small fact that this illusory thing that was called happiness was at all times within his reach and would not have been a passing matter if he had but looked within, if he had but taken but a few moments of each day to look within himself to contemplate the actions of that day, to see within himself the balance of the negative and the positive. This balance, my friends, this balancing of your mind, of the emotions which riddle your life, of the catalyst with which you have chosen to deal, of the lessons you have chosen to learn, with this balancing, with acceptance of all things within. This, my friends, is where peace is to be found, not without, but from within. From the portion that is one with the Creator and if allowed to manifest itself within your life can bring about the desired balancing.

We feel at this time the desire to transfer this contact to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(M channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. In your illusion there is much teaching. Some people have so much within them they find [inaudible]. If they can step out of themself for a short time each day and maybe see the humor in their lives, if they can laugh at themselves either alone or with a friend, some of their tension can be relieved. Laughter is a wonderful safety valve. If you can see the humor in what you say, or do, or what happens to your environment, you can relieve a lot of your tension. Try to find something humorous instead. If you cannot find anything humorous, at least step out of yourself and give the tension time to dissipate. See yourself from a distance, and your problems won’t be as great. Remember, you do not have to solve all your problems; you only have to live through them. You will make it to the end, one way or another. In the end you will find that a lot of the things that caused you so much worry really were insignificant. Step out of yourself and appreciate the things about you. If you cannot laugh, at least see beauty. Appreciate the sunrise. Appreciate the sunset. Appreciate your loved ones. If you cannot laugh, if you have not advanced to the stage of laughter, start with gratitude. And if you cannot be grateful, at least step out of yourself. Put some distance between you and your problems. Life is not as serious as some people make it. Get some pleasure out of living.

I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and again I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We would like to say a few words through this instrument about how to step out of yourselves. As you are aware, there is unity in the universe, and nothing is left to chance. Even though it may appear to you that everything is in chaos, this is not true, because there is a pattern and unity in the universe. At the cellular level all is one, and all is known. Try to imagine yourself under a tree, and then imagine yourself part of the tree and the tree a part of you. And then imagine that as you enjoy the beauty and the shade of the tree, the tree also enjoys your presence. This kind of imagination can run rampant as we imagine ourselves merging with everything about us. We can furthermore imagine that everything about us rejoices in the infinite Creator, because indeed all are one. In the final analysis, all is Love. We only see things as separate and at cross-purposes. It might even be helpful to imagine that you Love your enemy, if you have one. This might take some doing sometimes, but to pretend as a small child pretends is, indeed, helpful. Before you go to sleep tonight try some exercise that would help you to feel that you are part of everything about you, and that all is at peace, and that all are joyful because, indeed, the inner self does know.

It has been a pleasure to be with the group tonight. It has been a pleasure to serve you, as always. I leave you now in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. May the splendor of that Light be known to you each day, for surely you are of the race of Light and it is your birthright to know that Light and that Love. We thank this group for calling us this evening. We have not spoken over much with your group for some time and it is a privilege which we enjoy.

Stars look down upon you as you rest in sleep, and a deep and gentle rain falls, and in the middle of that slumber, one of your telephones awakens you with its insistent sound. One asks you to remove yourself from comfort, place yourself in the rain, and drive one of your vehicles some miles to where this one is stranded. This one is your sweetheart, your beloved, the sun of your waking hours, the dream on your sleep, and you do not feel the rain and the miles cannot go by quickly enough. This one is an acquaintance, an annoyance, and it is all that you can do to refrain from saying “No.” You stand by the well in a hot and arid land, and you hold a dipper of water, precious in a dry land. The well is deep, and it costs great effort to get each drop of water from deep beneath the sandy ground. One comes to you travel-stained and weary and asks for water. This one is the Messiah, and you gladly give what you have earned with such hardship.

This one is a stranger, whose looks are alien and whose ways are not your own, and you hand him an empty dipper and go away. You get into a boat to cross a river. The water flows. The other side will calm your thoughts, rest upon the affairs of your world. The one who guides your boat is Gautama Buddha. And you gaze in wonder upon the water itself, the farther shore forgotten in the miracle of the present moment.The one who guides your boat is a man with a stubbled beard, jersey clothes, and your gaze once again turns to the far shore. It is an interesting illusion you live in, my friends. Whom do you see? To whom do you react? What is the nature of your brother, your sister, yourself? If you look upon each surface, you shall always find the mundane. If you find Love, then you rush to acknowledge it. If you find the perfection of him at the well who can give you greater water than that of this illusion, you will give all that you have in order to associate with the giver of such great wealth. This incident was written in that book which you call the Bible, the one known as Jesus saying, “I have water. I am not thirsty. I can give you water that will allow you never to thirst again.”

Oxal gave examples of the variety of beings that we may meet that are all a part of us and the one Creator. They began by saying stars look down upon you as you rest in sleep, and a gentle rain falls, and in the middle of that sleep, your telephone awakens you with its sound, so one asks you to remove yourself from comfort, place yourself in the rain, and drive one of your vehicles to where this one is stranded, for this one is your beloved, and the sun of your waking hours, the dream of your sleep, and you do not feel the rain and the miles cannot go by quickly enough, but this one is an annoyance, and it is all that you can do to refrain from saying “No,” so you stand by the well in a desert, and you hold a dipper of water, so the well is deep, and it costs great effort to get each drop of water from deep beneath the sandy ground, and one comes to you travel-stained and weary and asks for water, but this one is the Messiah, and you gladly give what you have earned with such hardship. Oxal went on to say this one is a stranger whose ways are not your own, and you hand him an empty dipper and go away, and you get into a boat to cross a river, so the other side will calm your thoughts as you rest upon the affairs of your world, for the one who guides your boat is Gautama Buddha, and you gaze in wonder upon the water and the distant shore forgotten in the miracle of the present moment, and the one who guides your boat is a man with a stubbled beard, and your gaze again turns to the far shore, for it is an interesting illusion you live in, so: “Whom do you see? To whom do you react? What is the nature of your brother, your sister, yourself?” Oxal said if you look upon each surface, you shall find the mundane, but if you find Love, then you rush to acknowledge it, and if you find the perfection of Him at the well who can give you greater water than that of this illusion, you will give all that you have in order to associate with the giver of such great wealth, and this incident was written in the Bible where Jesus said “I have water. I am not thirsty. I can give you water that will allow you never to thirst again.” On December 6, 2003, Q’uo spoke about the Messiah:

It is remarkable, given the fact that the one known as John was a family member, that this entity recognized in his cousin, the one known as Jesus, not a cousin, not a relative, but the Messiah, as he understood that term, the “one who comes in the name of the Lord.” A tremendous amount of power was transferred from John to Jesus and from Jesus to John at that time. It truly was a remarkable day and one which may be seen to be the point at which the one known as Jesus moved from witness to actor, from being to doing, from potential to actual, from inner to outer.

There are those who help you in your life, those who steer your boat, and you gaze at the shore, not at the one who plies the oars. But is that one not perfection? You know the name called Buddha. But what does this name represent? A man who has found the moment. It is so. Each of you can feel the greatest amount of desire for a sweetheart, for a teacher, for one who is enlightened, and yet all, beginning with yourself, have these aspects at the core of beingness that creates each entity. Whom do you wish to delete from those who are perfect? You cannot delete even one. Not even one who freezes this night, drunken and penniless. Not even one who fattens himself upon power in its dishonest use, not even one who has stolen all that he has, not even one who cannot recognize reality—not even yourself.

The night is full of stars, and we speak as if from a great distance from beyond those stars. We weave a web of inspiration, but we are fools, and we speak to the foolish. For if we were truly wise, we would not be speaking. We would be existing in unity with all. This we are not doing. We are attempting to learn wisdom. And so, we are aware. Are you? It is the attempt of a fool to see perfection in the illusion. Yet it is the responsibility of the seeker to be a fool. For those who are wise in your world will use their wisdom, and it shall be buried with their bones. There is no one, no entity at all that is not absolutely necessary for the wholeness of the universe. Each portion of the creation is utterly desirable. The next entity who seeks money from you upon the sidewalk is Buddha, Christ, your sweetheart. How fast will you run to aid him? What drink will you gain from him that will let you never thirst again? What priceless present moment can you find with a derelict?

Oxal continued by saying there are those who help you in your life, those who steer your boat, and you gaze at the shore, not at the one who plies the oars, and you know the name called Buddha, for this name represents a man who has found the moment, so each of you can feel the desire for a sweetheart, for a teacher, for one who is enlightened, and yet all, beginning with yourself, have these aspects at the core of beingness that creates each entity, but you cannot delete even one from those who are perfect, not even yourself. Then Oxal said the night is full of stars, and we speak as if from a great distance from beyond those stars, so we weave a web of inspiration, but we are fools, and we speak to the foolish, for if we were wise, we would not be speaking, but we would be existing in unity with all, but this we are not doing, for we are attempting to learn wisdom and become aware, so it is the attempt of a fool to see perfection in the illusion, yet it is the responsibility of the seeker to be a fool, for those who are wise in your world will use their wisdom, and it shall be buried with their bones, for there is no entity that is not necessary for the wholeness of the universe since each portion of the creation is desirable, so the next entity who seeks money from you upon the sidewalk is Buddha, Christ, your sweetheart, so: “How fast will you run to aid him? What drink will you gain from him that will let you never thirst again? What priceless present moment can you find with a derelict?” On November 20, 1986, Yadda described why we should be a fool:

You are the people who have too many clothes on. You wear four coats, three sweaters, and sixteen pairs of pants. What are you protecting yourself against in this seeking of yours? It is good to be naked against Love. That is all that we have to say to you. Be a fool for Love. Do what comes into your heart to do. And don’t look back.

I am Oxal. I leave you within the illusion, knowing that you are at least looking through the bars of this prison you have chosen. You have chosen this prison, this illusion just so that you yourself may find perfection, reality, the ideal that is so obviously not there. We are with you and leave this instrument, blessing each, for to be foolish in the seeking of an ideal is divine folly. Seek carefully, and with Love. In that Love we leave you and in that Light we cannot help but leave you. We are Oxal. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the light of the infinite Creator. We are pleased that this group has chosen once again to ask for our humble service. We bring it, as always, rejoicing as we come, thankful for the opportunity of being with you and of searching with you for the truth of our existence. May we then ask if there is a query with which we might begin?

M: Are all the fourth dimension groups acquainted with one another, or are they isolated the way the third dimension is?

I am Latwii. To answer your query, we may begin by suggesting that although those of fourth density are more fully aware of the unity of their being, there is for many still some inability to perceive the, shall we say, individualized existence of others like unto themselves. Those of the density of understanding do indeed perceive…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii. To continue. The existence of those who dwell within and learn understanding and compassion is an existence which is far more broad than your own, for the veil which separates your conscious from your unconscious mind is being removed more and more fully within this density. Therefore, to summarize. Though it is more possible for such entities to know the fullness of the existence of their own kind, shall we say, many yet seek to complete this understanding.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii. We are thankful to you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Is there ever a point at which knowledge of the infinite is part of an individual entity or social memory complex?

I am Latwii. As the progression through the densities of this octave continues, the knowledge of unity with all portions of the creation increases. This has been likened unto the gaining of what might be called spiritual mass. As this awareness of unity progresses into that density of seven, there is the movement into timelessness which necessarily precedes the full rejoining of each portion of an entity’s awareness with the unity from which it sprang.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yeah, there’s a joke about a guy that knows everybody in the whole world. And yet that’s a finite number of people, entities compared to the infinite of all of the galaxies and all of the populations. It just, you know, intellectually boggles the mind to think about knowing everybody, every entity. Maybe you can’t approach it intellectually, huh?

I am Latwii. To respond to your query, may we suggest that the faculties of the mind are indeed quite boggled by such an experience. Therefore, it is of necessity that the infinity of mind give over in function to the infinity of spirit, that through this foundation source of beingness all that exists might be known as a portion of the great Self which is the one Creator. Your creation exists that this one Creator might know Itself, and as the process of evolution occurs for each entity, then the Creator gains in knowledge of Itself as each portion becomes aware of more of its identity as the one Creator. The reciprocal knowing of the small self as the great Self and great Self as the small selves reaches this stage of what we have called spiritual mass increasingly so that the fullness of all creation is seen to be contained within the fullness of the self.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, I really liked that answer. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We are pleased to have packed an answer in our briefcase which has pleased you. May we attempt another query at this time?

K: Yes, Latwii. As we attempt to know the higher self or the inner self, and as hunches and intuitions come, it’s been my experience that if I follow them, I make the right choices. Is it true that the inner self or the higher self is capable of directing our lives in every respect if we are aware of the, well, let’s just say hunches or whatever we want to call it?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is one means whereby what you have called the higher self may, indeed, aid in guiding the individual that is your waking self through the illusion of the lessons you have chosen. It is also possible that other portions of the self take part in this activity. Also to be included as a source of those intuitive hunches and flashes which occasionally illumine the mind is the concept of the guides or guardians which watch the progress of each within your illusion. When you feel an intuitive feeling, you are being spoken to by a greater or deeper portion of your own being. Whether this portion is that known as your higher self, your own unconscious programming, guides, or guardians, or friends of Light is of little concern for the moment. What is to be noted is the impulse towards action or thought. To listen to such is, indeed, quite efficacious in traveling that path you have chosen, but it must be remembered that you cannot make mistakes. And to not listen to such an impulse will simply mean that you shall reach your destination eventually by another means.

You may see the balancing of the intellectual and analytical abilities of your mind with the intuitive information from your subconscious mind as that which is most helpful in accelerating your evolution of mind, body, and spirit, for with the analytical abilities of your conscious mind, you are able to chart the path which you shall travel. By listening to those intuitive impulses which spring from some portion of your subconscious mind, then is your conscious mind informed as to larger parameters within which it might have its sway. Thus, the two portions of your mind operating in balance provide you with the means by which you are able to move upon your path of evolution within your illusion.

K asked: “Is it true that the inner self or the higher self is capable of directing our lives in every respect if we are aware of the, well, let’s just say hunches or whatever we want to call it?” Latwii began by saying this is one means whereby the higher self may aid in guiding your waking self through the illusion of the lessons you have chosen, and it is possible that other portions of your self take part in this activity, and also to be included as a source of those intuitive hunches which illumine the mind is the concept of the guides which watch the progress of each within your illusion, so when you feel an intuitive feeling, you are being spoken to by a deeper portion of your being, but whether this portion is your higher self, your unconscious programming, guides, or friends of Light is of little concern for the moment, but what is to be noted is the impulse towards action or thought, for to listen to such is helpful in traveling that path you have chosen, but it must be remembered that you cannot make mistakes, and to not listen to such an impulse will mean that you shall reach your destination by another means. Latwii went on to say you may see the balancing of the intellectual and analytical abilities of your mind with the intuitive information from your subconscious mind as that which is helpful in accelerating your evolution of mind, body, and spirit, for with the analytical abilities of your conscious mind, you are able to chart the path which you shall travel, and by listening to your intuitive impulses which spring from some portion of your subconscious mind, then is your conscious mind informed as to larger parameters within which it might have its sway, for the two portions of your mind operating in balance provide you with the means by which you are able to move upon your path of evolution within your illusion. On March 7, 1992, Latwii described the value of our intuitive hunches:

Each entity upon this planet does call for some type of assistance, whether it is consciously recognized and verbalized, or whether it be subconsciously expressed; each calling is answered. The degree of desire, the conscious seeking and strengthening of this desire is that key which shall determine how the call is answered. Many calls, shall we say, are answered in sleep and dreams, providing inspiration and answers to problems. Many calls are answered by intuitive hunches or inspirations of the moment which seem to occur and appear out of the blue, shall we say.

This is one means whereby what you have called the higher self may, indeed, aid in guiding the individual that is your waking self through the illusion of the lessons you have chosen. It is also possible that other portions of the self take part in this activity. Also to be included as a source of those intuitive hunches and flashes which occasionally illumine the mind is the concept of the guides or guardians which watch the progress of each within your illusion. When you feel an intuitive feeling, you are being spoken to by a greater or deeper portion of your own being.

To listen to such is, indeed, quite efficacious in traveling that path you have chosen, but it must be remembered that you cannot make mistakes. And to not listen to such an impulse will simply mean that you shall reach your destination eventually by another means.

Latwii continued by saying this is one means whereby the higher self may aid in guiding the individual that is your waking self through the illusion of the lessons you have chosen, and it is possible that other portions of the self take part in this activity, and also to be included as a source of those intuitive hunches which illumine the mind is the concept of the guides which watch the progress of each within your illusion, so when you feel an intuitive feeling, you are being spoken to by a deeper portion of your own being, but whether this portion is your higher self, your unconscious programming, guides, or friends of Light is of little concern for the moment, for what is to be noted is the impulse towards action because to listen to such is helpful in traveling that path you have chosen, but it must be remembered that you cannot make mistakes, and to not listen to such an impulse will mean that you shall reach your destination by another means. On April 18, 2006, Q’uo spoke about the nature of our higher self:

In terms of the experience of discovering more about your soul stream’s history, it is not the activity of higher beings, precisely, that is involved. If it happens organically and spontaneously, it is the action of your higher self, which in concert with that portion of your consciousness that exists between incarnations is responding to the conditions of your being as you meet the present moment. There are times in your life when you become aware of an entirely new level of the self, and it is often at such times that your higher self is particularly active in responding to your needs because a great deal is happening at such times. These are usually times when you have been through a dark night of the soul, and as you come to the dawning that lights up your life at the end of such a difficult period, many epiphanies and realizations may hit you like waves coming in from the ocean. It is at those times that spontaneous, new information about your larger self and its history may come to you. Otherwise, what you learn about your soul stream’s history is likely to be because of your focus, your will, and your desire.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you. That answered it quite well. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

A: Yes, Latwii. I was wondering what the significance was or what the reason was for when people—when they are praying—put their hands together, as in the statues of the praying hands. Why do people do that?

I am Latwii. We find that the answer to this query for most entities is simply to do that which has been taught them, but the answer which we see you seek runs deeper than this. The foundation for each ritual which the cultures of your planet have created, rests within some symbolic representation of unity, for it is unity which underlies each religion and philosophy, and unity which each religion and philosophy, to some extent, distorts. To join the hands is to join the seemingly separate portions of the self together in a symbolic action which exemplifies the unification of the being—the right and the left, the positive and the negative, that which knows with that which does not know, that which seeks with that which gives. The descriptions we have given are various means of looking at the individualized entity which seeks in prayer to know some portion of unity. To join the portions of the self known as the hands, which in your illusion seek many things, is the symbolic function which shows the entity seeks unity, seeks to make whole that which seems broken, seeks for the healing of that which seems diseased, seeks for the knowledge to fill the void of unknowing within the self.

May we answer you further, my sister?

A: No, that was most helpful. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii. We find this evening an early end to those queries which may be answered in our humble attempts to be of service. We thank each present for asking for our humble service once again. In your meditations, my friends, please feel always free to ask our presence there as well. We shall leave this group at this time, as always, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light of the one Creator. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Peace and blessings be with each. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “In the contemplation of God’s universe, the mind is centered in God. As we quietly, gently, and peacefully observe God in action on Earth as It is in heaven, we are witnessing the glory of God. Practicing this form of meditation or contemplation, day in and day out, will bring us to a state of consciousness where discursive thought slows down and finally stops. One of these days, as we are engaged in this spiritual activity of watching God at work, a second of silence will occur in which there is not thought of any kind. In that split second, the activity or presence of God will make Itself known to us. From that moment on, we know that God is closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet, and that the kingdom of God is within us. Out of the void and darkness, out of the stillness of our consciousness the Spirit of God moves to create for us our world of form:

I have come to this quiet hour to contemplate God and the things of God. Every blessing upon this Earth is an emanation or an expression of God and God’s law: the sun that warms the us and the rain that feeds our plants and trees. The stars, the tides, and the moon all fulfill functions of God and yet appear as blessings to humanity. It could have been no accident that God hung the sun up in the sky, millions of miles away from the Earth, just far enough away to give us the proper amount of warmth and the right amount of coolness. God really is the intelligence of this universe, an intelligence fully of Love and Wisdom. The sun, the moon, and the stars move in their respective orbits according to a divine plan that makes the moon and stars visible at night and gives us the Light of the sun by day.

God is the source of all that is. God’s Love is made evident in the fact that before humanity appeared on Earth, everything here was necessary for humanity’s development, for its growth and welfare. Even the minerals in the Earth were given for humanity’s use. The processes of nature that formed the iron, the oil, the gold, the uranium: all of these processes are of God. God must have known millions of years ago that these minerals would be necessary in the present age of industrialization and automation, because that long ago they were taking form in the ground. Millions of years ago God must have foreseen the billions of people who would inhabit the Earth, because God created fertile ground on which would grow trees, and shrubs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

This afternoon I was once again honored to co-host the European Law of One Study Group. Today I read Session #59 of the Ra Contact which contained a lot of information about the Great Pyramid at Giza, and I made occasional commentary about Ra’s information on how this pyramid works to focus the upward spiraling Light. After I finished reading the session some of the questions that I was asked included: “Where to place a small pyramid to get the value of the third spiral of the pyramid?” “The use of the Resonating Chamber under the Great Pyramid at Giza?” “The nature of Near Death Experiences?” and “Did I change the angle to 20 degrees east of north of the pyramid that I built in the yard outside of the home Don, Carla, and I lived in during the Ra contact?”

I would like to let everyone know that I have taken down the plexiglass shield around my Arrowhead Vine because I noticed that two days after I had put it up there were about 25 small leaves that had died. I can only assume that this was caused by a lack of air circulation. Since I have taken the plexiglass shield down, Mystical Joy, my new little kitten, who climbed the Arrowhead Vine and brought many of the vines down on the three bamboo rods that support all of the vines, has not shown any interest in climbing the vines again.  The first time she climbed them I was putting another very long vine on a hook on the ceiling of my living room. If I ever need to do that again, I will be sure that she is in my bedroom.

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

February 4

The Tides Of The Spirit

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

How deeply below the ground of sensation, feeling, and thought run the tides of the Spirit within each individual! If you wonder at the seemingly random turns and twists of daily life, the answers that deny randomness and proclaim the harmony of the great Deity’s plan lie far too deep for discovery.

Like a great underground sea, the Spirit makes all things new and guides circumstance in order that the fullness of experience may provide the opportunity for divine change. Thus, when you ask for the Comforter of the Spirit of Jesus the Christ to come upon you, know that the more intense your asking, the greater your opportunity for renewal and change. For you may be created anew at any time that you truly wish it.

With Love of such power, peace may not seem possible, yet this power is harmonious, and, whatever the appearances, its outworking lies in perfect peace.

And in this peace that is strife to the world, we leave you, 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, Latwii, and Oxal channelings for this session come from January 16, 1983:

M channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and we greet you in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. It may seem this instrument is talking about something that happened this evening, but she isn’t. What happened this evening she thinks is funny, but the topic she is going to talk about is anger. One of your members asked about anger at your meeting, and I would like to discuss it. There are many types of angers. Sometimes it is very good. In an emergency, if you need to protect yourself, anger is very helpful. Even in an emergency when you have to do something. If you expect company and you have to get ready, then knowing the company coming at the last minute sometimes gives you the energy to accomplish what you need to accomplish. But I would like to talk a little about another type of anger. Some people build tension within them, but yet the anger is not productive. Sometimes it is the release of tension. If one is angry about insignificant things oftentimes it is really a form of letting off steam, and this can be very dangerous. If you can filter this tension through another entity, you can distill some of this tension. There are other people that can be helpful, your so-called religious priests and preachers, rabbis. You even have people, counselors who help release tension. You even have marriage counselors that release tension. Some very wonderful people are not able to accomplish their desires because of this inner tension and they should make some effort to get relief.

There are many types of anger. Sometimes it is caused by sickness. Sometimes it is caused because you’re tired. Sometimes it is caused because you are trying to control your other selves. There are many forms of anger, and I hope some of these may be applicable to your discussion of anger.

I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am now with this instrument. We greet you again in the Love and Light. Friends, in your day-to-day lives you each face many varying situations from moment to moment. Each is in itself a lesson, one that is designed to aid you in your journey through this illusion. Each lesson will be taken and learned from or put aside, ignored. But you cannot ignore them for long. In each entity’s incarnation, those lessons ignored shall make the cycle and return, strengthened anew, tougher than before. Your people as they grow stronger may be able to handle the tougher lessons, but there are those who find that the tougher lessons begin to bury them.

These times, my friends, many are the individuals who swing on the pendulum of emotion. Some may withdraw deep within themselves. They may experience what you call depressions, the uselessness in their inabilities that they perceive. Some may choose to vent their frustrations and inabilities in an angry rage, taking out their perceived inabilities on others and themselves. My friends, your emotions are indeed an extremely useful tool you have in your growth, but as they are useful, so may they harm. When either extreme of emotion is reached, that entity suffers. The entities around him or her may also suffer. They can mislead and block growth. Each in their illusion will experience the swing of the pendulum, but the pendulum need not stick on either. Acceptance of each of life’s situations as lessons will aid each in finding a more useful path through the lessons of this experience. We of Hatonn wish to say again that at any time you feel the need, we will be with you when you ask us to aid you in your meditations in times that are good for you and those that seem too much. My friends, take each moment for what it is worth. Learn from it.

I am Hatonn, and would at this time transfer this contact.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. My friends, the illusion within which you exist is a complex one. The tools which you must master to attain the development you seek are tools of unique intricacy and require an apprenticeship far beyond that of the various trade—correction—trades which many within your illusion seek to learn as a method of employment. For the tools of the physical realm, being instruments for the manipulation of that which is already created, have both form and function that remain relatively constant within your illusion. The tools with which your real lessons are experienced, however, are of a more ethereal nature in that each situation, each lesson that you encounter requires that the scholar perceive the lesson and, as a master craftsman, carefully forge and hone those tools with which one seeks to acquire attainment.

The emotions that you experience within your illusion are a small portion of the vast supply of such tools available to those who seek. They may, indeed, be likened to a set of chisels or punches that are uniquely appropriate each in its own manner for a specific opportunity. The emotion—anger, for example—may be likened to a broad cold chisel which may be used in conjunction with the hammering of one’s personal will or intention to produce a seam or opening within the illusion of an other self in perceiving beyond the particular illusion which they have established at a given time. Obviously the appropriate tool for a specific task is the—correction—is determined only through meditation and careful selection. For the self who desires to employ such a tool must first acquire the mastery of the tools lest in its usage damage be the result. The mastery of one’s emotions, therefore, is recommended for those who would seek the path of service to others. For the carpenter cannot accomplish his constructive tasks if he is at the beck and call of the various tools which he supposedly employs.

My friends, the analogies we use are often difficult to apply when one seeks to extend their meaning beyond that which is verbally expressed by the instruments who serve us so well because of the difficulty in translating our concepts into the symbols you refer to as speech. Yet, my friends, the translation and the illumination which may be sought as one meditates upon our feeble efforts at analogy may be found within the purity of one’s own heart. For it is through Love of one’s other selves your selfless acts are motivated, and it is through this motivation, this desire to serve, that the Creator extends Its touch to Its own tools, Its children who desire to serve.

My friends, the nail which binds the boards together is a tool which serves. So, also is the hammer which drives the nail and the hand which swings the hammer. The chain of service extends in an unbroken line to the original creative Force. Therefore, my friends, be aware that when one acts in accordance with this creative force, one may be assured of the correctness of one’s efforts toward service through the peace one experiences as a tool properly in service.

At this time we will relinquish our use of this instrument that our brothers and sisters of Laitos may perform their service of extending their vibration to those who would deepen their meditative state. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. At this time, my brothers and sisters, we will be of most service by bidding you farewell that our brothers and sisters of Latwii might perform their own special act of service for those present. Adonai, my brothers and sisters. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you all in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator, and would like to express our appreciation at being invited to be of service to those present in our small way. At this time are there any questions that we might attempt to answer?

Carla: Latwii, when Nona comes through and begins a healing by the vibrations that are given, does that continue then until the situation is finished in accordance with the will of the Creator?

I am Latwii. My sister, first it is necessary to understand that the will of the Creator within a specific instance of healing versus non-healing resides largely in the will of the individual who is subjected to the healing force. If the individual desires healing and is receptive to a continuation, the vibration is encouraged and one might say that the entity, whether consciously or not, makes the Nona vibration a part of the individual entity’s own vibration, in effect attempting to adopt that vibration so as to maintain the healing force. However, if the entity is resistant to changing the condition which created the physical imbalance, we are without doubt that our brothers and sisters of Nona would be reluctant to force the issue, so to speak.

May we answer you further?

Carla: No, I knew that. I was just testing you, Latwii.

I am Latwii, and, my sister, we are grateful for the opportunity to pass the test. However, we might suggest that a more rigid test be applied in that we are to some extent possessed of the answer book to the test which you apply.

May we answer you further?

Carla: No, thank you, Latwii.

Latwii: Is there another question?

M: Latwii, if we have no more questions could we get Hatonn back?

I am Latwii. My sister, we would hazard the assumption that our brothers and sisters of Hatonn rarely leave the presence of those here. We are aware that our brothers and sisters of Hatonn have no pressing desire to communicate another of their ponderous lectures. However, they are always within earshot, so to speak, of those who seek their vibrations or guidance.

May we answer you further?

M: Does that mean Hatonn will come back?

Carla: Yes or no, L?

I am Latwii. My sister, we ask that you bear with us in that it is our desire to communicate accurately specific information. Our brothers and sisters of Hatonn are present at this moment. Our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, further, have nothing which they desire to communicate to this group at this particular moment. However, our brothers and sisters of Hatonn are always listening should one desire to communicate to them. If it is your desire to communicate a message to our brothers and sisters of Hatonn at this moment, we most earnestly assure you they are indeed listening.

May we answer you further?

M: I felt they wanted to speak through some of these instruments that were cut off. K, for instance. I have a feeling that Hatonn wanted to speak through K, S—different ones of them. Nobody has any questions for Latwii.

I am Latwii. We are increasingly aware there are no further questions, and will bid our friends adieu momentarily and vacate the stage, so to speak, that our brothers and sisters of Hatonn may return to offer whatever extemporaneous comments they might elect to verbalize through whichever instruments indicate a strong desire to act in service in this manner for our brothers and sisters of Hatonn. Therefore, at this time, we shall return whence we came.

K: I really have nothing else to add.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator, a glorious central sun of the creation and all that therefrom has sprung, an endless and infinite beauty and Love. As Light we are drawn to Light, and we come to this group. We thank you for requesting our presence. Before we would begin, we would address two minor subjects which may be of aid to two of those now physically present. Firstly to the one known as M. The intention of any meeting of like-minded seekers is guided and formed by the desires of those present. That you felt a presence was certain. However, my sister, as you become more proficient in your tuning and your awareness of the varying presences, it is well to question each spirit and challenge each, and after assuring yourself of the Christ consciousness within each, discover then the called name of each spirit. We use this term advisedly, for there are great differences between those spirits of inner planes and those of what may be called outer plane, the difference being the difference between an individual often of great Wisdom, Love, Light and knowledge, and a group, often vast, of individuals so like-minded that the group speaks with one name. We would suggest that in the context of challenging and determining each entity’s identity, the concept of challenging the spirit be retained in full as it is as useful when dealing with societal complexes as it is when dealing with the denizens and masters of the inner planes.

Therefore, you were, indeed, sensitive enough to abstract from the noise of the metaphysical universe a signal. However, it was not that of Hatonn. Also, we would suggest that not all instruments must needs speak at each meeting. The needs of the group are served by the extremely fortunate circumstance of this group wherein the ability to serve as vocal instrument is widely cultivated among its members. Each piece of information, each emotional shading of Wisdom or Love has its own best instrument or instruments. Therefore, the picking and the choosing of the instruments is a great…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

…as well as the one known as A. We are not an easy channel, shall we say, to successively interpret. The narrowness of the band causes the fading away of the signal if the instrument is somewhat shy of the tuning necessary.

The second note is to the one known as R, who we greet and welcome to this group this evening. Due to this particular instrument’s previous training, there is some slight possibility that a trance state might be that which overtakes the instrument without the desire being present for [inaudible]. This is at all cost to be discouraged, and it is suggested that the entity consciously close some of the receptive nature gained in the training in order that all may be clean, clear, and simple within so that the vibrations which are within this dwelling have only positive and life-enhancing effects upon those sensitive to the vibrations and used to disciplines which sometimes, shall we say, branch off from the discipline of this endeavor which all of the circle seeks to continue this evening.

We would speak but briefly now through this instrument as the meeting grows somewhat long. However, there is a call for information which we are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to share. As we heed those words which have been spoken by our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, and Latwii, and Laitos, and as we observe the patterns of energy within this dwelling, we are aware that when speaking of the removal of the emotional distortion so that one may be of service to another, one may not expect of oneself the direct removal of anger by placing the angry self in meditation. This may seem, as this instrument would say, as the Catch-22. An angry self needs meditation, but cannot find it. A meditative self is not angry.

Therefore, we suggest the angry self step back from the entire observation of self, not in meditation, but prior to any attempt at alteration of the situation at meeting the catalyst at hand. This instrument, in her human opinion, would concentrate upon the role of other selves in aiding one who is angry and has experienced the joy of being of seeming aid when offering the peaceful self to the angered other self. However, may we suggest to you that our opinion differs. The only alterations that will remain part of the garment of the self are those alterations made within the self for the self. And in this context, we would remind you of a phrase from your holy work known as the Bible. The phrase is, “O pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee.”

In this session Hatonn spoke about how we could work with our anger in order to be of better service to others. They began by saying we would speak briefly now through Carla as the meeting grows long, but there is a call for information which we are grateful to have the opportunity to share, and as we heed those words which have been spoken by our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, Latwii, and Laitos, and as we observe the patterns of energy within this dwelling, we are aware that when speaking of the removal of the emotional distortion so that one may be of service to another, one may not expect of oneself the direct removal of anger by placing the angry self in meditation, so this may seem, as Carla would say, as the Catch-22, for an angry self needs meditation, but cannot find it, for a meditative self is not angry. Hatonn went on to say we suggest the angry self step back from the entire observation of self, not in meditation, but prior to any attempt at alteration of the situation at meeting the catalyst at hand, so Carla would concentrate upon the role of other selves in aiding one who is angry and has experienced the joy of being of aid when offering the peaceful self to the angered other self, but we suggest that our opinion differs, for the only alterations that will remain part of the garment of the self are those alterations made within the self for the self, and we would remind you of a phrase from your Bible that is, “O pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love thee.” On November 26, 2022, Q’uo spoke of how we can remove our anger:

In the general sense, there are no other factors other than the need for forgiveness and the removal of anger for the experience of what you call cancer. However, each person who has this quality of distortion may travel the path of forgiveness and anger in an unique way which would need to be discovered, so that the anger and forgiveness could be seen as the true means by which the cancer was acquired and then healed.

My friends, when an angry person looks at the self, what does he see? Almost inevitably because of the strength of your illusion, he sees an imperfect and mistaken self. But where in this consideration of self is the primal perception of the one original Thought? Where, my friends, is the Creator which is perfect and full of Light and Love? If you look at the interior of your heart as a great land full of mysterious places, cities, countrysides, caves and grottos and fantastic creatures, then you may see one portion which is completely unchangeable. All else may come and go and be permutated as you transform yourself. But your holy city, that portion of yourself that is of the Creator and has never left the Creator, resides within that great land of beingness which is yourself.

Swim the sea of consciousness until you come to your own Jerusalem, my angry ones, my discouraged ones, my despairing ones, my overjoyful ones, and find in sorrow and utter joy the peace of what is called in that phrase we have quoted, “Jerusalem.” This is your true and happy home. Anger cannot touch it nor sadness or despair nor mania. This is yours. This is you. And your awareness of this portion of yourself will lead you, guide you, succor you, and heal you until you can bring yourself to bear upon yourself, until you can go into meditation knowing that the one resource without which you cannot endure is yours. O pray for the peace of Jerusalem, your Jerusalem, each of you.

Then Hatonn said when an angry person looks at the self, what does he see? Hatonn said he sees an imperfect and mistaken self because of the strength of your illusion, but: “Where in this consideration of self is the primal perception of the one original Thought? Where is the Creator which is perfect and full of Light and Love?” Hatonn said if you look at the interior of your heart as a great land full of mysterious places, countrysides, caves, and fantastic creatures, then you may see one portion which is completely unchangeable, and all else may come and go and be permutated as you transform yourself, but your holy city, that portion of yourself that is of the Creator and has never left the Creator, resides within that great land of beingness which is yourself. Hatonn continued by saying swim in the sea of consciousness until you come to your own Jerusalem, my angry ones, my despairing ones, my over joyful ones, and find in sorrow and joy the peace of what is called in that phrase we have quoted, “Jerusalem,” for this is your true and happy home, and neither anger nor sadness can touch it, so this is yours, and this is you, and your awareness of this portion of yourself will guide you and heal you until you can bring yourself to bear upon yourself, until you can go into meditation knowing that the one resource without which you cannot endure is yours, so pray for the peace of Jerusalem, your Jerusalem, each of you. On October 30, 1987, Latwii described the nature of Jerusalem that lives within each of us:

We wish to aid by these thoughts in the positioning of the mind and heart towards, shall we say, the spiritual east. We wish to express the sanctity of that comfort which lies within, which has so often been externalized within your holy work, the Bible, as the holy city, Jerusalem. Realize that your physical beings are as the cave within which dwells the fragile and infinite spirit. And look upwards through the chink in the roof of the cave and see the blinding shafts of Light filling, nurturing, comforting, and informing the spirit within. May each of you become independent of the outer world, so that addictions end, excesses may be laid aside with more and more ease.

We would condition those instruments of whom we have spoken in order that we may briefly speak through each before leaving this most kind and gracious Light source. It is a great blessing to bathe ourselves in the circle of your Love. We would now transfer. I am Oxal.

(A channeling)

I am Oxal, and we greet this Light of your circle once again to speak a few words through this instrument so that she might become accustomed to our vibration. Indeed, it shall be brief, and you shall hear on [inaudible] message, and we shall now transfer and condition the other instruments. I am Oxal.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. We thank each instrument which we have conditioned. We are attempting to make the one known as S more comfortable, and also the one known as A. We are most privileged to have been able to work with each instrument, and we shall be with you at any time which you may need our particular service. We cannot leave you, for we are part of the oneness. We cannot leave this density, for we wish to be of service. Each Light that shines in darkness is a great service. We encourage each to perceive the Light within and without each day. We shall leave this instrument, glorying in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai, adonai.

(C channeling)

I am Nona, and come once again to this group for there is indeed a great calling to aid those present and those here in spirit who wish to aid others with their physical and spiritual needs. We join with you in the sending of Love and Light.

[C channels beautiful chanting from Nona to the end of the meditation.]

This morning I took down the wall of plexiglass from around the Arrowhead Vine in my living room because I believe it is the reason that many of the smaller leaves began to die just two days after I put it up to keep my kitten, Mystical Joy, from climbing the Arrowhead Vine and bringing the vines down from their normal height. I think that the plexiglass was restricting the flow of air that was causing the small leaves to die first, but I might be wrong. If the leaves keep dying for the next few days, I will put the plexiglass back up.

This afternoon the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Meditation is an experience, and inasmuch as this experience is an individual one, it can never be confined within the limits of any predetermined pattern. Meditate; pray; dwell in the secret place of the most High in quietness and in peace; and you will discover that the truth you are seeking already abides within you.

Christ, the great Light, is within you. Christ is the healer; Christ is the multiplier of loaves and fishes; Christ is that which supports, maintains, and sustains; but Christ is already within you. You will never find health, supply, or companionship by searching for them. These are embodied within you, and they will unfold from your within-ness, as you learn to commune with God. You can draw on your Christhood for anything, and it will flow out from you to the extent of your realization of this truth. You are self-complete in God. Christ is your true identity, and in Christ, you are fulfilled in all your completeness. In this self-completeness in God, there is only one thing for which to pray; there is only one thing needful—spiritual illumination. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. Ask for spiritual illumination, for the gift of the Spirit, and God will reveal Itself as fulfillment.

In moments of uplifted consciousness, the ensuing meditations unfolded from within, revealing the gifts of the Spirit. The meditations follow no established or prescribed pattern, but each one is an expression of the spiritual impulse flowing into form. They are not to be followed slavishly nor are they to be used as a formula. Their only purpose is to serve as an inspiration, so that you may glimpse the beauty and joy of this experience and be encouraged to undertake the discipline required to discover the unplumbed depths of your own within-ness and, in so doing, launch forth into deeper and ever deeper experiences of awareness.

Meditation is a continuous song of gratitude that God is Love, that God is here, and that God is now. It is resting in God’s bosom, holding and feeling the divine Presence. Rest in the contemplation of God’s Love and God’s Presence. Then you will be able to say: “My meditation shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.”

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

Echoes Of Love

I am of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of that Love for which the remainder of the creation is but a synonym.

We gaze upon the palsied, frail, wandering thoughts of humankind with cheerfulness and Love, not with sadness and despair as do you who gaze upon your own thoughts with disappointment. For we know that your thoughts may wander in arid regions. Yet the more unprofitable you find your thinking becoming, the more rich becomes the potential for your turning from the unformed to the formed, from the uncreated to that which is full of grace and purpose.

Your infinite and Loving heart is not a machine, that you may produce an output according to your quota. But, rather, it is a sounding board by means of which the Spirit of Love may echo to the infinite reaches of the created universe.

Turn, therefore, from despair and free the echo chamber of your heart from all tense worries that, surprised by inspiration, it may reverberate in Love and peace.

I am of the Spirit of Christ, and I leave you in peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from January 2, 1983:

(M channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. As this instrument likes philosophy, I would like to stress the point of one person. No one person goes down alone. The people who dislike him or the people who hate him feel justified in their feeling, and they go down too. The people who love him are diminished, and even casual acquaintances, people who only see him pass and never speak to him, have a less interesting environment. Part of them go down with him. And if a man goes up, he does not go up alone. People who dislike him or hate him cannot justify their opinions. His friends are inspired by him, and people who see him pass are enriched. No man is ever alone. Do not say, “Well, it was only one man,’’ because it is never only one man. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument, and we have for some time called, “Wait-a-while,” for this instrument always says “Wait a while” when we attempt to contact this instrument. However, we find that there is a request from each of the other instruments that this instrument be used for some of your time and so we shall use this instrument a little while. We greet you once again in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. We wish you blessing, and glory, and peace. It has often been said among your peoples, “Wishes are not worthwhile. Wishing is not substantial.” And, my friends, it is this point of Love to which we would speak this evening.

What a great invisible web there is that contacts all that there is, but in your density especially what a great connection there is betwixt each entity upon your planet. The one known to you as Jesus suggested that if an entity fed, or visited, or aided another entity, even one which was looked upon as not important, the entity was feeding, or visiting, or aiding the Creator. That is your unity; that is your reality. You are one, my friends, because you are all the Creator, each shining in your unique facets like the jewel that you have made of yourself, yet each a portion of the whole that is the creation. How many times have you wished, and had it become so? We suggest to you, my friends, that the faculty of hope, of faith, of wishing, of dreaming, is one of the most powerful resources of your mind, and that it alerts your entire being so that what you call your future is designed again and again by each wish, each desire, in order that you may receive that for which you wish. In your illusion the connection between wishing and having is usually invisible, for in the illusion time walks with you like an unwieldy giant, distorting true relationships and making them appear unreal. However, the faculty of hope operates in what you may call time/space where there is no time as you know it, and the connection between hope and the desire fulfilled is quite plain.

Therefore, my friends, the first thing we would suggest that you do is be cautious and careful in your wishes, your hopes, and your desires, for you do inevitably set in motion those things which will occur in order that your hopes may be fulfilled. You shall not hope in vain, but if you hope without depth, without heart, then what you receive shall be shallow and unsatisfying. In this season upon your planet that you experience at this time, shall we say, your plant life has completed its hope. For each seed that lies within the deep and dark ground awaiting the biting frost is the hard shell of a living wish for life, for growth, for service. That is the second thing that we would suggest that you would consider in relation to wishing. When you wish, hope, desire or seek there shall in natural patterns occur a season of incubation. You have planted the seed, and you must now release that seeking to the hard frost of meditation and silence. In time, upon your planet, comes the spring and behold, the seed that has fallen in good ground blooms, and flourishes, and graces many by the richness of its flowering. So shall your desires come to you, bloom upon bloom, ramification upon ramification, until all is hundred-fold more than you could have wished.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about a portion of Love that says that wishes are not worthwhile. They began by saying what a great invisible web there is that contacts all that there is, but in your density what a connection there is between each entity upon your planet, and Jesus suggested that if an entity fed, or visited, or aided another entity, even one which was looked upon as not important, the entity was feeding, or visiting, or aiding the Creator, so that is your unity and reality, for you are one because you are all the Creator, each shining in your unique facets like the jewel that you have made of yourself, yet each a portion of the whole that is the creation, and we suggest to you that the faculty of faith is one of the most powerful resources of your mind, and that it alerts your entire being so that your future is designed by each desire in order that you may receive that for which you wish, but in your illusion the connection between wishing and having is usually invisible, for in the illusion time walks with you like an unwieldy giant, distorting true relationships and making them appear unreal so the faculty of faith operates in time/space where there is no time as you know it, and the connection between faith and the desire fulfilled is plain. Then Hatonn said the first thing we would suggest that you do is be careful in your desires, for you set in motion those things which will occur in order that your hopes may be fulfilled, but you shall not hope in vain, but if you hope without heart, then what you receive shall be unsatisfying, for in this season upon your planet that you experience at this time your plant life has completed its hope, and each seed that lies within the dark ground awaiting the biting frost is the hard shell of a living wish for life and service, and that is the second thing that we would suggest that you consider in relation to wishing, so when you seek there shall, in natural patterns, occur a season of incubation, for you have planted the seed, and you must now release that seeking to the hard frost of meditation, so in time, upon your planet, comes the spring, and the seed that has fallen in good ground blooms and graces many by the richness of its flowering, so shall your desires come to you, bloom upon bloom until all is a hundred-fold more than you could have wished. On September 28, 1991, Q’uo spoke of how our desires may come to us:

Again, we find ourselves in the position of not being able to give a specific response for the confusion which you express is that particular condition which is a product, or shall we say the precursor of the exercise of free will. We are aware of your confusion, we are aware of your concern, and we can only recommend that you follow that which you feel is most important to you at this time, whether or not it is that which has been recommended previously. Follow that which wells up within you as the greatest desire amongst all your desires. Follow it to its completion, observe again, choose again. Whatever wisdom has been shared with you previously will prove itself or not by your own experience.

This is the third thing we would suggest to you, that in many cases the seed that you have planted by desire, wishing, by hope blooms into a bloom that is not recognizable, for you as an entity will have been changed by that same silence. You will already have become transformed, and you will be seeking yet further. And when you find manifestations flowering about you, it may be most difficult to apprehend the personal nature of an impersonal event. And you say to yourself, can this be what I hoped for? Yes, my friends. Each thing that occurs is a flowering of what you hoped for. Each event has been incubated and has grown. Meanwhile, you yourself have grown beyond the person that you were when first you hoped.

We describe to you a difficult road, a sometimes confusing road, but it is the road of transformation, and it shall, as you continue to discipline your desires, your wishes, and your hopes for your future, begin to offer to you a great multitude of blessings, the flowering of many previous hopes and meditations. We ourselves hope to be of service to you. Our only purpose in speaking through instruments such as this one is that in some way we may aid you as you move through moonlit nights in your inner search, through the brightest noons in your outer search, through all conditions and all surprises. We are aware that each finds inspiration in a different manner. We can only hope that we can be of some small aid to each, for it is our way of learning and growing. As we are of service to you, so our hopes come into full power and our inspiration is a hundred-fold multiplied.

Then Hatonn said this is the third thing we would suggest to you, that in many cases the seed that you have planted by hope blooms into a bloom that is not recognizable, for you will have been changed by that same silence, and you will be seeking further, so when you find manifestations flowering about you, it may be difficult to apprehend the personal nature of an impersonal event, for each thing that occurs is a flowering of what you hoped for since each event has grown, and you have grown beyond the person that you were when first you hoped. Now Hatonn said we describe to you a confusing road, but it is the road of transformation, and it shall, as you continue to discipline your desires for your future, begin to offer you a multitude of blessings, the flowering of many previous hopes and meditations, and we hope to be of service to you, for our purpose in speaking through instruments such as Carla is that we may aid you as you move through moonlit nights in your inner search, through the brightest noon in your outer search, through all surprises, but we are aware that each finds inspiration in a different manner, so we hope that we can be of aid to each, for it is our way of growing, and as we are of service to you, so our hopes come into full power and our inspiration is a hundred-fold multiplied. On January 12, 2008, Q’uo spoke about the nature of transformation:

Transformation is a somewhat overused term among those who seek in the ways of spirit. Both your established religions and your alternative spiritual practices tend to speak of transformation, until it has almost become diminished, as a word, from having been overused.

In its roots, my friends, it means to change form, to cross over from one form to another. In a different word with the same root, transformation often follows an intake of information to form new mental and emotional formations, thus precipitating the deeper self into the need to accommodate new information. By information we do not simply mean that which is taken in through the process of reading books, attending seminars, or listening to inspired speakers. We speak of the whole intake process of a working, conscious, awakened spirit in incarnation on Planet Earth.

There is a tremendous amount of information which flows into the five senses and moves through the awareness and the thought processes of each entity, all things being grist for the mill. So, transformation is a move from one stage or phase of life to another. It almost has the connotation or the inference of being that of a shape shifter, where you actually change your spiritual or metaphysical shape.

We would at this time wish to transfer to the one known as K. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. This instrument has been caught by surprise because she was sitting here enjoying what has been spoken already. However, as this instrument looks back on the desires of many years, this instrument is able to see the validity of the statements that have been made, and we would suggest further that as each of us goes into the new year, we might ask ourselves the question: What do we wish the end of the year to be like, or what do we wish the next several years to be, as you think of time. Because, indeed, we are planting as literally for our future, as we call it, as we know it, as literally as we plant the seed in the ground in the springtime. It is obvious as one views the world in which we live that some seeds have not brought the best results. Therefore, we will simply leave you this evening with this thought planted firmly in your mind for consideration. It has been a great pleasure to be with you, as always, and we leave you rejoicing in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. It is our privilege once again to be asked to join our vibrations with those of this group. We thank you for requesting our presence. We hope that our desire to be of service by attempting answers to your queries will bear the fruit which will be useful in your journey. May we therefore ask at this time for the first query.

C: Yes, Latwii, could you enlighten me as to what is the emotion of anger?

I am Latwii. To begin, may we suggest, my brother, that if one investigates that emotion called anger carefully, one will discover that it is what you might call the other side of the coin which is Love. For if one attempts to Love, one attempts to give freely of the self to another. Yet upon your planet this concept finds few pure expressions. The concept of Love has become mixed, shall we say, with your concepts of trade and barter. Conditions have been put upon this concept so that when one gives of the self, gives of the feelings and the emotions of the heart of the being, quite often it is expected by such an one that the one receiving the Love must also in some like manner return it. Thus, the Love is not given freely. When this perception persists within the being of one loving—that return must be made, that return is not being made—there frequently begins the growth of that emotion which becomes the anger. This feeling of anger is a distortion of the Love which has not been reciprocated. The anger grows as the entity feels it has been, shall we say, shortchanged or betrayed. Thus, if you will look to the heart of anger you will find some distortion that will lead you to the heart of Love.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: Yes. I’m asking these questions because I’m having an extremely difficult time at the present of dealing with anger, and earlier today I had a release of this emotion, and afterwards, looking backwards, I could not see myself during the release, and those around me, including my young baby, did not seem to even recognize me when I was in that state. Is there something else taking control when one’s frustrations are suddenly released?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. Though it is possible that entities of an elemental or even a negative nature might utilize such instances to reinforce the concept of separation which anger demonstrates, it is most usually the case that just as the expression of Love in its pure form has been distorted and blocked, thus causing the anger, so also has the expression of anger been blocked for a portion of what you call time. This causes within the entity so blocking the anger a buildup which might be likened unto the iceberg, where only the tip is apparent and the small trigger is all that is necessary for the remainder to come to the fore, and for the entity expressing the anger that has been built up and blocked to appear as another entity. If this anger and its blockage, the Love and its blockage are examined, the entity will find within this situation the great opportunity for experiencing and expressing Love in its pure form. For when the anger finally comes boiling out, then the situation is such that it is most difficult to ignore further, and the reconciliation can begin and this path may then lead to the heart of Love.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: Yes. I have an extremely difficult time dealing with frustrations as they occur and keep many things bottled tightly within me. It is very rare that I am able to open myself to others and release the anger before it gets to a point where I simply blow. I don’t ask for specifics, but would appreciate it if you would speak to me on how one might release one’s anger before it builds to a point where one blows.

I am Latwii. My brother, may we suggest that you observe the garden in the spring. As the seeds have been sown and sprout, so also sprout those seeds not intended, the weeds. And when this garden is ignored day after day, the weeds become strong in growth and begin to overtake the seeds that were intended to be the garden. As you move through your illusion, take time each day in your meditative state to examine the catalysts which you experienced each day. Where you find anger, it is not necessary that it be expressed towards the entity in your physical illusion for the catalyst to work and teach you the lesson that you desire. You may instead experience that anger within meditation, and allow that anger to build until it does overwhelm your senses as has occurred this day. Then see within your mind the balance to the anger. For but a moment visualize the unconditional Love. Then allow your inner senses to move from the overwhelming anger by their own energy towards the Love. Allow this to occur until you feel Love in the same proportion that you felt anger. Then see yourself as having two means for the Creator to know Itself within your being, and feel then the acceptance of yourself for yourself while expressing both anger and Love.

If you would look at your life and your lessons each day in this manner in meditation, you will be accomplishing the same as the gardener who pulls the weeds each day so that the fruit of the garden may have a chance for harvest.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, thank you. You’ve been of great help to me.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my brother, for allowing us this service. May we ask for another query at this time?

M: I have one, and it’s about as unimportant as C’s was profound. And it’s really none of my business, but I would like to know, if you feel it’s proper, if you would tell me what kind of bodies you have in the fifth dimension, and what kind you had in the fourth dimension, and do you have two or more sexes? It’s really none of my business, so if you feel I shouldn’t know, you don’t have to answer me.

I am Latwii, and do not blush at such a query. We of Latwii inhabit the density of five. That is the density of Light, the seeking of Wisdom. In our particular density our progress upon the evolutionary path now allows us to become more closely aligned with that known as Light, for we desire and seek the Light. Therefore, we do not only know the Light, but we become it, which means that in relation to the physical we may shape our vehicle according to our desires.

Therefore, during those few experiences upon your planet where the appearance of a being of Light has been requested with the proper purity—and such occurrences have been recorded throughout your history—an entity of the fifth density may appear in whatever form is best understood by those so requesting the appearance. Most usually this form is like your own for obvious reasons. The entities inhabiting the density of Love, the fourth dimension, have a physical vehicle which corresponds to the physical vehicle which was the second-density ancestor or parent, shall we say, of your own vehicle, for example, having been derived from the higher ape family. The density of six, that is, of singleness, of unity, the balance between Love and Wisdom, may also form itself as it chooses, and each of these densities includes the concept of polarity so that the sexual union, in forms quite different from your own sexual union, may be experienced.

Beyond the density of unity there is no longer the need to recycle the physical vehicle. Therefore,  there is no…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am again with this instrument. May we ask for another query at this time?

K: Yes, Latwii, and I’m going to have trouble putting my thoughts into words, but I’m going to take a stab at it. As I indicated here a time or two, I’ve spent my life trying to get some sense out of the meaning of life, and in my early days I couldn’t see very much sense to it. And it seems to me that since the early sixties a—literally a barrage of Light or information has been given to us. That at least life makes more sense to me, and the purpose for being on this planet has become clearer. Now, my first question is, am I alone, or is this just my assessment of what has happened over fifteen years, or has this happened generally to the people, say, in our country?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As the, as you have called it, graduation or harvest draws nigh, the seeking of the people of your planet becomes more and more intense due to there being in motion the activity which this group has become aware of as the seniority of incarnation by vibration. This is to say that those now incarnate on your planet are those whose previous incarnations have gleaned the lessons desired efficiently enough that they have the greatest chance to achieve the harvest with one remaining incarnation, or in some cases, two.

Therefore, as those with the greatest opportunity for harvest incarnate, the calling for the lessons of Love and assistance in learning them increases. These callings are answered in many ways. One manner of answer is the incarnation of those known to this group as wanderers in waves or in groups. This began in earnest with the birthing of the concept of freedom which was born at approximately the same time in its more intense form as was this country some two hundred years ago. There have been various events which have been prominent in allowing further waves or groups of wanderers to incarnate. The second of what you call world wars was most important in this regard, for the release of that energy known as nuclear was of such a profound nature that a great wave of wanderers incarnated at the cessation of that conflict. These wanderers then begin to reach what your people call their maturity during the period you referred to as the 1960s, and this flash of Light, shall we say, took many forms, yet it was felt around your planet.

May we respond further?

K: Yes. Has this flash of Light, so to speak, that I certainly am aware of—I’m sure that many others are also—has this occurred, say, in the third world and in Asia, or has it become more evident just in the western world, or say, in our country?

I am Latwii. My sister, we find that though your nation is quite unique in many respects, it being what has been referred to as the melting pot of your global populations, that it is not alone in experiencing the effects of this flash of Light, as we have called it. The entire planet has become aware of the more intense seeking for Love and Light and more aware of the response to this calling, this seeking. The response and awareness have not manifested in the same manner in each region of your planet. Many of the nations which you have described as the Third World nations have experienced much greater trauma. The traumas have taken the forms of wars, starvation, disease, and displacement of populations. Upon your planet these are seen as great tragedies. Yet, my friends, if you put yourself in the place of such an entity experiencing any of these phenomena you will find great opportunity for learning the lessons of Love in a very short period of what you call time.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No. I believe I understand what you’re saying. Right now that’s the only question I have.

I am Latwii. Is there another query at this time?

M: Yes, I would like to know, when a person is an alcoholic, do they choose to be that before they are born, or is it something that happens after they’re born?

I am Latwii. Before the incarnation the entity, often with the help of what you may call guides or angelic presences, sets out the lessons which it desires to learn in the incarnation which approaches. In some cases, it might be that a certain means of learning the lesson is set in motion. In many cases the entity will allow a variety of means to be held in reserve, shall we say. These various means of learning the lessons, which always relate to Love in your density, are then activated as necessary by the deeper portions of the unconscious mind, most usually the higher self, so that the entity might learn those lessons which it desired. The means of learning which you have referred to as alcoholism may be one of many set aside or put in reserve, shall we say, and activated only when other means have not proven efficient. In our previous response we noted the great efficiency of trauma in teaching the lessons of Love. For some entities the lessons must be more intense according to their own choices. For others the lessons may be learned in some areas with less of what you may call trauma.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Well, if they recover and give up alcoholism, is that necessarily an asset in their journey?

I am Latwii, and I am aware of your query, my sister. It cannot be said with certainty that the response to, in this case, alcoholism can be seen as efficient or less efficient. For one entity to continue in the state of the alcoholic might be the most efficient of continuing to learn the lessons of Love. For another entity, to refrain from that state of drinking and drunken being might be the most efficient way to learn the lesson of Love. It cannot be said with certainty how one particular entity best learns the lessons which it has set before it. Only after the incarnation when the review has been completed may the entity see the efficiency of the learning of the lessons.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Well, do some people then feel that their incarnation after they have reviewed it was not successful, and some people feel it was very successful if the degree is there of success?

I am Latwii. This, in general, my sister, is correct, for each of you moves within an illusion, within a forgetting. You move within darkness. Though your days are brightly lit, still, as you seek within your being for the truth, you seek in moonlight, for it is not clear to those who have forgotten that each is the Creator, and that such is the case. And as you move through your illusion you carry the small candle of your consciousness with you to dimly light your way. Only after your incarnation has been completed does the Love and Light of the one Creator which exists at the heart of your being shine clearly over the pages of your life so that you may then see the efficiency with which the lessons were learned and might then see the lessons which need the learning in the next incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No. I think that’s all I can take at this time.

 I am Latwii. We hope we have not given you indigestion.

M: Thank you, Latwii.

Latwii: We are most grateful to you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

C: Yes. It concerns lessons and goes directly back to my questions earlier. There are times when usually on the basis of us going through them beforehand we can see where a lesson is being presented to another, and there are times when we tend to learn the lessons for the other instead of stepping back and letting them experience, learn for themselves. How does one know—what can one do to keep from interfering with another’s lesson even though one may really want to jump in there and do it for them?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. May we first begin by saying that there are no mistakes within your learning. It is also to be noted that it is not possible to directly learn another’s lesson for that entity. What occurs in your daily round of activities is a natural progression of interaction which allows the opportunities to be presented to each entity to learn those lessons that are desired. You may feel that you interfere with another. Yet, if you observe the so-called interference, you will see the opportunity to learn a lesson being presented.

Do you wish in this instance to impose yourself upon another? If this is not your desire, how then do you balance the actual or supposed imposition? By removing the self. So, you see, what you might see in one instance as the interference with another’s learning is simply your own learning seen from another perspective. Whatever your experiences within your illusion, the opportunity to learn the lessons you desire is always available. You cannot make mistakes. You may learn more quickly or more slowly, more efficiently or less. Yet, always do you learn the lessons you desire and always are those about you offered the identical opportunity.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: That’s a big help. It’s also a load off. This is a situation that seems to occur regularly, and I know that somewhere along the line a particular guide has a hand in it which I thank you for. But there are times when you refuse to give something, whether of yourself or material, and you immediately turn around and it’s taken from you in one form or another. And I’ve always found it’s a very awakening type of occurrence. A guy I will refer to as George, I’ve known him for a long time, seems to not let me get too astray with him. But is that a reciprocal action, is that a common occurrence when one really sort of blocks out a lesson?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. In general, this is correct. As one refuses to give in certain areas, then one is, in truth, refusing to give to the self, for are not all one? To bring this point more clearly home, the entity often asks on the subconscious level to know more clearly the truth of this unity. In such cases there are those presences which you have described which aid the entity by seeing to it that a certain thing which has not been given suddenly disappears within the life of the one refusing its gift to another. This allows the entity to discover that the action of refusing to give to another is the self refusing to give to the self. For whatever action you experience in relation to another is most clearly seen as your relationship to yourself.

Therefore, as you Love others, the Love for the self grows. As you feel anger towards others, the anger for the self grows. This is the way of the creation, for the Creator must learn from Itself. And you are the Creator which learns from yourself, whether it be that self encased by your physical vehicle or any other self with which you come in contact.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, thank you very much.

Latwii: We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

K: Yes. I have one more that seems appropriate just at this point. I don’t want to tire the instrument, so it need not be a complicated answer if the instrument is tiring. As I indicated, in the last two or three days I’ve been reading the book Eagle’s Nest, and one of the goals of the warrior, which I perceive as a disciple, is the detachment. And Buddha talked about detachment as being a goal to be desired. Would you say something about the meaning of detachment and how it applies to us?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Each of you, as we have said, moves within an illusion. The veil of forgetting is drawn so that it is not possible for a clear perception of the nature of your unity with all things to be known to you. Therefore, you learn through being attached, shall we say. You learn by desiring, by sowing the seeds of wishes. Do you then draw unto yourself those events to fulfill the wishes? By observing your response to such events, your emotions may be discovered to be positive or negative, and by achieving the balance within the self of each emotional response, the entity becomes what is called balanced or regularized according to the expression of each energy center or chakra. This then allows the entity to experience what various of your religious cultures have called the non-attached state of being. We might refer to this more clearly as a finely tuned type of compassion so that whatever catalyst the entity encounters, the entity is aware that it is seeing the Creator experiencing Itself. And the entity’s response is Love, compassion, and understanding. This is the balance which has been spoken of by the description of detachment.

K asked: “Buddha talked about detachment as being a goal to be desired. Would you say something about the meaning of detachment and how it applies to us?” Latwii replied by saying each of you moves within an illusion, and the veil of forgetting is drawn so that it is not possible for a clear perception of the nature of your unity with all things to be known to you, so you learn through being attached, and you learn by desiring, and by drawing unto yourself those events to fulfill the wishes, and by observing your response to such events, your emotions may be discovered to be positive or negative, and by achieving the balance within the self of each emotional response, the entity becomes what is called balanced according to the expression of each energy center or chakra, so this allows you to experience what is called the non-attached state of being, and we refer to this as a finely tuned type of compassion so that whatever catalyst the entity encounters, the entity is aware that it is seeing the Creator experiencing Itself, so the entity’s response is Love and understanding, and this is the balance which has been spoken of by the description of detachment. On October 25, 2008, Q’uo spoke of the nature of detachment:

The life of a religious recluse is designed to eliminate all possible distractions so that the seeker, the disciple, the student, may do nothing but wind the coil of the intensity of desire to know the Creator day after day and year after year. Nevertheless, there is no escape from humanhood within the bounds of flesh and blood, breath, and desire. The most humble and self-abandoned disciple shall still find itself desiring those things which shall bring comfort to the body, the mind, or the spirit.

The initiate does not stop being human. The initiate becomes transparent to its humanhood and is able to gaze upon the requests which the body or the mind may make to the self with a certain amount of detachment and a larger point of view which enables the disciple to act in a more skillful way than one who has not become initiated.

It does not remove the business of living from that disciple. That disciple still must find ways to imbue all of those necessary parts of being human with awareness, attention, and often ritual, which all are designed to keep the disciple in a good state of tuning.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No. I believe that’s okay for the moment. I’ll have to think about that. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

L: Yes, on this planet prior to the birth of Christ a religion on philosophy was founded by an entity named Zoroaster in Persia. This religious philosophy was fairly rapidly assimilated into Islam and no longer exists. What was the mission of the entity we call Zoroaster and what was his polarity?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. As each entity on your planet attempts to do, this entity attempted to serve the one Creator by expressing its perception of how the path of evolution might most efficiently be traveled. The precepts and tenets which it put forth during its incarnation were basically of the positive nature, yet as with all such religions or mystic traditions the polarity was not pure. For it is, as we have said many times, an illusion within which you move, and you seek for the truth in moonlight. And in moonlight that which is true can be dimly revealed, yet that same moonlight can also deceive. The one you refer to had some distortions towards the negative which are apparent to those aware of the concept of polarity who take the time to study these teachings.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes, I’m interested in where this entity is now. Is he incarnate on this planet or working with anyone incarnate on this planet or some world altogether different?

I am Latwii. We find that this entity has continued its path of evolution upon this sphere and resides as a third-density entity continuing to learn the ways of Love.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: So, I understand that as the entity is physically incarnate on this planet?

I am Latwii. This is correct. May we answer you further?

L: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

K: Well, yes. Is his influence positive, or is it polarized now in the positive, or is he still mixed?

I am Latwii. Though this entity, as most upon your planet, continues the efforts towards positive polarization, there is, of course, the mixture, for within your density the lessons are seldom learned with complete efficiency.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

A: Yes, Latwii. Is there any underlying reason that certain third-density entities choose prior to incarnation to experience ongoing severe trauma for lessons rather than milder degrees or a specific length of time that might be traumatic? Do you understand what I’m asking?

I am Latwii, and we believe that we perceive the heart of your query. The amount of what is called trauma can be, and is in most cases, chosen by each entity previous to the incarnation according to the, shall we say, number or intensity of lessons the entity desires to learn. This may be likened unto the student taking many classes or many hours of credit which weigh heavily then upon the allotted span of time. The entity could take fewer lessons and experience less trauma, yet not learn the lessons which would allow graduation. Since what you call time grows short upon your sphere for the learning of the lessons within this great cycle, many entities therefore attempt great quantities of learning in a short period of what you call time. This brings the trauma, and the trauma offers the opportunity to learn Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

A: No, thank you. You answered very well. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

J: Yes. In the same way that hope and desire fulfill themselves in actuality, does fear outline the nature of the developing future? I mean, does what we fear come to pass also?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We may describe fear as a negative hope, which is to say that it too shall come to pass. For the balance of the desire of not experiencing is the desire to experience. Where you have fear on the conscious level it is often the case that the opposite, or the desire, is experienced upon the subconscious level. In such a situation the entity with fear shall draw unto itself that which it fears in some form so that it might balance that fear with the acceptance of what was feared. Since all is one, there is, in truth, no need to fear any thing, for all things are the Creator, and all things are the self as the Creator, thus fear also is a seed which allows this fruit to be born.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Yes, I have another question. Could you talk about right and left brain function and activity and how—and whether it is possible to consciously balance right and left brain activity?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Within most of your physical brains, there is the division between what might be seen as the active and receptive modes of perception. The left portion of most entities’ brains is that portion which is logical, rational, verbal, and moving in spatial fashions, able to analyze and utilize the words in a logical fashion. Within most entities’ right portion of the brain is the portion which may be seen as the receptive.

The right brain, therefore, may be seen as the intuitive, somewhat illogical, that which is musical or artistic, and for an entity to attempt the balancing or equal activation of these brain functions is the process of what we have previously called the use of catalyst or the balancing. To achieve this end, it is necessary only to observe the daily activities, the various distortions, biases, preferences and tendencies which are already in motion within the life stream. Then, in meditation, the entity might magnify such distortions or biases until they are overwhelming to the senses. Then by imaging for the moment the opposite, and allowing the natural progression of conscious movement to overwhelm the senses in the polar opposite, the entity experiences within the being the balancing of both tendencies and therefore brain functions as well. We would suggest to each entity so visualizing this process that the great unconscious which is the storehouse of each entity’s beingness might be seen as the analog to the right brain function of the intuitive senses. The conscious mind therefore is the analog to the left brain function.

J asked: “Could you talk about right and left brain function and activity and how—and whether it is possible to consciously balance right and left brain activity?” Latwii began by saying within most of your people’s physical brains, there is the division between what might be seen as the active and receptive modes of perception, so within most of your physical brains there is the division between what might be seen as the active and receptive modes of perception, so the left portion of most entities’ brains is that portion which is logical, rational, verbal, and moving in spatial fashions, able to analyze and utilize the words in a logical fashion, and within most entities’ right portion of the brain is the portion which may be seen as the receptive. Now Latwii said the right brain may be seen as the intuitive, that which is musical or artistic, and for an entity to attempt the equal activation of these brain functions is the process of what we have previously called the use of catalyst or the balancing, for to achieve this end it is necessary to observe the daily activities, the various distortions, and the biases which are already in motion within the life stream, and then in meditation the entity might magnify such distortions until they are overwhelming to the senses, so then by imaging for the moment the opposite, and allowing the natural progression of conscious movement to overwhelm the senses in the polar opposite, the entity experiences within the being the balancing of both tendencies and therefore brain functions as well, so we suggest to each entity so visualizing this process that the great unconscious which is the storehouse of each entity’s beingness might be seen as the analog to the right brain function of the intuitive senses, and the conscious mind is the analog to the left brain function. On April 26, 2008, Q’uo spoke of our left and right brain functions:

It can be thought of—and this is a shallow statement but helpful, perhaps—as a left brain/right brain difference, saying that the left brain has to do with living on the island and making good use of time within the box (logical) and the right brain (intuitive) then goes begging and does not have its needs fulfilled. It is not exercised. It lies dormant. Art, therefore, can take one out upon the water and lift that dormancy into activity. And suddenly the right brain is working. It feels very good. It makes the attendee or the appreciator of art feel as though they    are also creative. It is contagious.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: I’m kind of mixed up on left and right, but I’ll straighten that out later. Could you talk just a little bit about the nature of ego?

I am Latwii…

[Side two of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. To answer the last query, the instrument is suffering some fatigue, and if more queries are desired after another query or two, we would suggest the transfer of this contact.

To continue our response to the concept of the ego. We find that the great use and misuse of this term renders it quite ineffectual as a useful designation of any portion of the entity’s being. It is frequently seen as a portion of the self which must be removed, this perception associated with those of the Eastern religious philosophy. The ego is also seen by others, those described as the Scientologists and those who study the psyche of your peoples, as the self which acts, that is to say, the conscious being. Others see the ego as the, shall we say, show-off or arrogant portion of the self. This is a description which is common to the lay person of your culture. Therefore, the term itself has suffered such distortion that we cannot use it with efficiency in describing the activities or perceptions of your people.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Thank you, no. That is fine.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Through this instrument we may attempt one further query before transferring the contact.

Carla: Well, what would you call it, if there is an it? Ego, I mean. You just wiped it out, but there’s something there. Is there an undistorted way of putting it? Could you comment on that?

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister, for clarifying your query. We shall attempt a response by suggesting that the clearest perception of that known as the ego may be seen by observing portions of the system of energy centers which each possesses. The orange ray typifies the expression of the self in relation to the self and to another. The relationship of power of self over another is most significant here. In the yellow-ray energy center the expression of the self as a portion of a group which may express power over another group is significant in relationship to the nebulous term of “ego.” In the blue-ray energy center the concept of communication with other selves by the self is significant in describing a portion of the ego’s supposed function. This is not satisfactory as a means of describing that commonly referred to as the ego, yet is as close as we can come. But we feel we have fallen short by at least a country mile.

May we attempt a further response, my sister?

Carla: Only by my guessing that what you’re trying to say is, there is nothing intrinsically right or wrong with the conscious portion of the self in its relationships to others, but only in the misuse of power. Would you say that that’s sort of what you’re aiming at?

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister, for your query and continued clarification. We would go one step further in suggesting not only is there nothing right or wrong, as you have called it, with the conscious self or ego, but there is nothing right or wrong in any aspect of your illusion, for all is one.

May we ask if this is sufficient response to your query?

Carla: You may. Thank you very much, Latwii. That’s just fine. I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister.

Carla: Why don’t you let this poor boy rest?

I am Latwii, and shall attempt that feat. If the one known as L would be agreeable, we would at this time attempt to transfer our contact. I am Latwii.

(L channeling)

I am Latwii. I am now with this instrument. We ask a moment’s grace to make ourselves at home, so to speak. I am Latwii, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, and now that we have things a bit more shipshape, we are prepared to continue our efforts to respond to your queries. Are there any queries?

Carla: I’d like to ask first if this would be a good time to retune the group. It’s been over an hour and a half since we began, and I’m wondering if we should get up, and sit down, and retune?

I am Latwii. In examining the fluctuating state of attunement in the group, we are inclined to agree with the recommendation as presented, although we would be willing to continue in the present capacity if the reattunement process would overtax the patience of those who have developed itchy feet. We would suggest, therefore, that a brief recess of several minutes be allowed at this moment that the necessary flight to plumbing facilities be allowed as well as the opportunity to reinvigorate those areas of your physical vehicles which have had the bodily fluids compressed from their tissues for an extended period. If this is acceptable to those present, we would suggest that those not desiring to flee the room remain within its confines in the relative darkness now present.

K: I have a suggestion, Latwii. We might save time, if anybody wants. I have exhausted my poor little…

M: I have, too.

K: …poor little brain tonight. I have no more questions. And maybe we might save everybody—if there are no more questions, we might verbalize that.

I am Latwii. Are there any further questions?

[No further queries.]

I am Latwii. If there is a statement to be made, we shall pause.

Carla: I think you’re done.

I am Latwii. We think so, too.

K: We want to thank Latwii tonight. We’ve asked them a lot of questions. We’ve all got a lot to think about.

I am Latwii. My sister, as always, we are grateful for the opportunity to extend our meager efforts and learning to those brothers and sisters who desire to share what little we have to offer. And for these opportunities we are sincerely grateful. As there are no more questions and in that your queries and one instrument have been simultaneously exhausted, we shall take our leave as well. In the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, my brothers and sisters…

[Tape ends.]

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “A few on the spiritual path achieve this stillness quickly and easily, but for most of us, the Way is long and difficult. It is not for any of us, however, to boast about the rapidity of our progress nor to decry its slowness but to pursue the way with steadfastness and unswerving purpose. Most of us have periods of gradual progression, punctuated by interludes of desolation when we feel that we have lost the way and are wandering in a maze of conflict and contradiction. Often, we find that, after these valley experiences, we go forward to new heights where unsuspected vistas spread out before us.

There are a few gifted individuals who, because of previous experiences, have been so well prepared that their way seems to be much easier than others’. The purity of consciousness which they have developed makes the ascent into spiritual consciousness a beautiful, gradual, and harmonious journey beset with very few problems.

For most of us, the path is up and down, but by the end of a year or two there is usually a feeling that we are a trace ahead of where we were the year before. The prerequisite for the hearing of the still small voice, for the actual experience of the Christ, is to prepare ourselves by study, meditation, and by mingling with others on the spiritual path. When we hear the still small voice within us, we have received God’s grace, and the purpose of meditation is being achieved.

We dare not be satisfied with anything less than the experience of God Itself. It is the pearl of great price. It is for each of us to decide how much time and effort will be given over to meditation: to determine whether we will spend a few spare minutes now and then or so arrange our lives as to permit prolonged periods of uninterrupted quiet in which to contact the inner Presence and Power. The years necessary to the study and practice of meditation are not years of sacrifice to the aspirant: rather are they years of devotion to that which is their goal in life. It requires patience, endurance, and determination, but if the realization of God is the motivating force in our life, what the world calls a sacrifice of time or effort is not a sacrifice but the most intense joy.”

This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food and some bird seed. My second stop was at PNC Bank where I had some money transferred from my savings account to my checking account. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off two prescriptions to be refilled, and then I bought some Hagan Daas vanilla ice cream.

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

February 2

Every Flower Rejoices

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

Be it known to you that every flower that nods in the sunlight rejoices in Love; that every green leaf that shakes upon the bough lifts its voice in songs of praise to Love.

Know, too, that every cell of your body and every cell of your mind is full of the Love of the Father, full of the Christ, full of rejoicing.

It may seem to you that portions of your body or your mind have been cut off from the Love of God in Jesus Christ. Believe and know that this is in no case the final truth and press on in faith, holding the vision of Love in every cell, of rejoicing in every iota of the body and the mind. By this may the power of the Spirit of Love be called to you, be drawn upon you, and begin to heal you.

We leave you in the peace 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 and Latwii channelings for this session come from December 26, 1982:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am now with this instrument. We greet you, our friends, in the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator and are greatly pleased to be called to you this evening to be of what small service we may be. We have been enjoying your friendship, the Love you have shared. We have been watching at this time of year you call Christmas. The Love that has been shown upon your planet is great indeed. For as the time of harvest grows nearer, my friends, more and more of your people will come to know of the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. It is ones such as yourselves that dare to let the Light shine that is within you and to draw others to the Light, to what we believe is the path, the shortest path to the final goal of the one original Thought. There is much upon your planet at this time which may cause disturbance among you should you dwell on those things. But, my friends, there is also much, much happening that should cause great joy in your hearts, and your souls, and your minds. Look about you, my friends, at the Love that has been displayed, that has been showered upon you, with a heartfelt hug from a friend, with a glance that is full of Love and sharing of two souls. My friend, these are the things that should occupy your minds, for when one Loves, that Love can do nothing but grow and grow. At this time, we would transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We greet you again. The Love during this time of your year is at a level rarely reached. Many at this time feel that special need to quietly give of themselves without thought of reward or of the return of Love. The shining of your Light, the giving of your Love does not need an audience or conditions, for as you celebrate the birth of the one that your peoples see as the ideal of Love and Light, never—correction—the one known as Jesus, that many use as their ideal, refrained from showmanship, came quietly and humbly into your world and reached and touched in silence and gave up the thought of reward for Himself. Each time that you reached out and gave of yourself the Light shone that much brighter. My friends, your Light, the Light of your fellow beings, glows warmly at this time. Your planet feels the healing Love and responds. It would be well if the feelings of Love could continue at this level. For at this time in your illusion there is much need for Love and Light. Much healing needs doing and can be done. So, if you would, allow your Light to shine and reach out quietly to those around you. A quiet touch, the gentle hug, the loving look, the acceptance, all aids your people and your planet. We join with you and pray. I am Hatonn. I leave you now in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

(M channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. At the time of year on your planet when your people think of the Christ who rose, realize that you too can rise. Second-density entities are earthly. They think mainly of their immediate environment. Think how wonderful it is that you can see the sky, and the sun, and the moon and realize that in no sense are you bound to the Earth. Your soul and your mind can soar. Many people who think they are free are in prison, and some people in prison are free because their soul and their mind is not limited. Open the gates and all eternity is within your grasp. Then you will be able to leave this third density. Prepare yourself to expand your soul and your mind and see the beauty of eternity. Think how sad it would be if you always had a roof over you and could never see beyond the Earth. When you become too involved in earthly things, go out and look at the sky. Look at the sun come up; watch the sun go down. Look at the moonlit night. If you appreciate these things, you will never be in prison. Your soul will soar forever. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We thank you for the privilege of sharing with you concepts related to those subjects so familiar to you having to do with the birth of the one you call Jesus. We would like you to consider the passage from your holy book, the Bible, which speaks of the Word which was made flesh and dwelt among you. It then compared that happening to the Light that shines in darkness. The darkness does not know the Light, but it cannot overcome the Light. There is much to consider in these phrases concerning each entity’s spiritual birth within incarnational experience. Each at some point within the incarnation consciously chose to be born in spirit or each would not be within this circle. For we are called by a harmonious and unified circle of those who seek. In the same sense that the Light came into the darkness does the spiritual self consciously come into being within, that manifestation of being which is each entity within the illusion. And so, each of you experienced the conscious acceptance of a portion of the self being born that was not there before, and that is to the remainder of the conscious self as a Light in the darkness. Further, the incarnational experience within the illusion is designed to challenge that Light. Growth of the Light does not occur except by intent. It may not be the conscious intent to grow spiritually. It may simply be the dogged intent to survive without harming another.

Many are the souls that have been harvested whose concept of the truth was never articulated, yet whose lives became radiant because the Light shone in the darkness, and the darkness could not overcome it. When each period, or portion, or phase of the spiritual or metaphysical journey commences, turn again to the experience of the one known as Mary, the mother of Jesus. Each mother physically experiences the nurturing of that in darkness which will be delivered forth into the Light. However, when viewed in the spiritual or metaphysical sense, you may see this deliverance as one which is pondered, as it is written in the same holy work, in the heart as you nurture your own infant spirits, and indeed, each new phase of our journey renders you an infant again, it is well to ponder all things in your heart. For yours is the responsibility for your spirit and some care may well be taken, therefore. It has been written, although mythically rather than literally, that the one known as Jesus was forced to flee to the desert as a young child to escape death at the hand of that which may be called a negative influence.

In this session Oxal spoke about how we can deal with the Light of Jesus that we need to see within the darkness of the world around us. They began by saying we thank you for the privilege of sharing with you concepts related to those subjects familiar to you having to do with the birth of Jesus, so we would like you to consider the passage from your Bible which speaks of the Word which was made flesh and dwelt among you, and it compared that happening to the Light that shines in darkness, for the darkness does not know the Light, but it cannot overcome the Light, and there is much to consider in these phrases concerning each entity’s spiritual birth within incarnational experience, for each within the incarnation consciously chose to be born in spirit, or each would not be within this circle, for we are called by an harmonious circle of those who seek, and in the same sense that the Light came into the darkness does the spiritual self consciously come into that manifestation of being which is each entity within the illusion, so each of you experienced the conscious acceptance of a portion of the self being born that was not there before, and that is to the remainder of the conscious self as a Light in the darkness, for the incarnational experience within the illusion is designed to challenge that Light because the growth of the Light does not occur except by intent, but it may not be the conscious intent to grow spiritually, so it may be the dogged intent to survive without harming another. Oxal went on to say many souls have been harvested whose concept of the truth was never articulated, yet whose lives became radiant because the Light shone in the darkness, and the darkness could not overcome it, and when each phase of the spiritual journey commences, turn again to the experience of Mary, the mother of Jesus, for each mother physically experiences the nurturing of that in darkness which will be delivered into the Light, but when viewed in the spiritual sense, you may see this deliverance as one which is pondered, as it is written in the same Bible, in the heart as you nurture your own infant spirits, and each new phase of our journey renders you an infant again, so it is well to ponder all things in your heart, for yours is the responsibility for your spirit, and some care may be taken, for it has been written, although mythically rather than literally, that the Jesus was forced to flee to the desert as a young child to escape death at the hand of that which may be called a negative influence. On February 11, 2023, Q’uo spoke of how we can help our pets, plants, and places to grow in the spiritual sense by sharing our Love with them:

There is a relationship that can be developed between the third-density being and the second-density pets that has within it a kind of devotion, a type of Love, as you would call it, that comes from one’s heart, a heart that opens itself in unconditional Love to the pet, to the tree, to the plant, and in some cases to a place that has been inhabited for a great period of time with the same loving devotion. This devotion of Love begins to activate within each plant, pet, or place the return of that Love. Loving devotion is like the seed that is planted in the spiritual sense into the plant, the animal, and the place. It is watered by continuing to Love and create a relationship of a Loving nature that sees each as the Creator in a sense in which there is an investment of the Creator’s Love moving through your third-density heart that is activated in unconditional Love, and begins and continues this relationship of devotion of Love for a period of what you call time.

Have you given yourselves time and place for constant spiritual birthing, and then careful nurturing in the desert or dry place where all things may best be made plain within while remaining secret from the external illusion? The external illusion challenges each entity in its journey constantly. Therefore, a portion of this holiday or holy day which you know as Christmas may well be devoted to the consideration of these movements or dynamics in the life of the growing spirit within. That which comes from you must needs first come to you. The desert is the perfect sequel to the poverty and simplicity of the manger. In all humility console yourself in secret as each new phase of being begins its development. And only when it can stand and walk within you may you then go forth in the manifestation of illusion and speak of those things which you have realized. We are with you as you continuously begin a great story of birth and death and transformation. May your learning be filled with Light. We can only give you our opinion that darkness shall never overcome that Light. But that opinion we do give. Arise and shine in good time, and know that you are not in any sense alone. For all who seek, seek one thing. All are one thing. In the beginning was Love. What is your incarnation? Love. How may you manifest it? That, my friends, is worth some work.

Oxal went on to say: “Have you given yourselves time and place for constant spiritual birthing, and then careful nurturing in the desert or dry place where all things may best be made plain within while remaining secret from the external illusion?” Then Oxal said external illusion challenges each entity in its journey constantly, so a portion of this holy day which you know as Christmas may be devoted to the consideration of these dynamics in the life of the growing spirit within, so that which comes from you must first come to you, and the desert is the perfect analogy to the poverty and simplicity of the manger, so in all humility console yourself in secret as each new phase of being begins its development, and only when it can stand and walk within you may you go forth in the manifestation of illusion and speak of those things which you have realized, for we are with you as you continuously begin a great story of birth and death and transformation, and may your learning be filled with Light because we can only give you our opinion that darkness shall never overcome that Light, so arise and shine in good time, and know that you are not alone, for all who seek, seek and are one thing, for in the beginning was Love, and our incarnation is Love, and how we may manifest it is worth some work. On February 9, 1986, Q’uo said that we are not alone:

How you people love phenomena. But within the darkness that is complete lies your heart, beating without sound, gleaning that Light as you intensify and intensify your seeking to the point at which your inner beating heart is manifested as the star of hope, the beacon of faith. Can you then see? You can see the star. At that point that is all that you can see. It does not shed Light upon your path but by your own seeking you have planted that which is no thing, but which is a symbol of Light, the Light that shall shine until there is no darkness, the Light that is without time and without space. Footstep after footstep you walk on, lighted by a dim but very real star, a star kindled within your heart and within no other. Walk on in majesty, walk on in humility, walk on in trust, for you are not alone in this darkness, you are not alone upon this path, and you are not beguiled or mistaken in seeking Light. When you reach past the phenomena to touch your own heart, it is then that you have placed your feet upon the path.

Without this heart, all actions are without spiritual reality, and all fruits are withered in the merciless glare of the spiritual sun. You see, the fruit does not become the plant which becomes the seed which is then sown. That is not the way of growth. And yet your people so often consider their spiritual path in just such a reverse manner, first looking at the fruits, wondering how to arrange them by asking for phenomena and working backwards to the heart that sows the seed.

What a treasure your hearts are when they Love. I beg you to Love. It does not matter that you do not Love perfectly according to your own judgment, it does not matter that you do not Love all the time. It matters that you see your inner state of Love as the cornerstone of your existence, your seeking, and your destiny, for this universe is one thing and one thing only—it is Love, the creative Love—the one original Thought is Love. It is within your heart that this Love is reproduced so that you become creative also.

I am Oxal. I leaveyou in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in Love and Light. We are privileged once again to be able to join your group. We thank you for extending this invitation to us this evening. May we ask then if there might be a question with which we might begin our humble service?

S: Yes, Latwii, I have a question. What can you tell me, if anything, of the phenomenon known as twin souls?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that this term and others among your people has become somewhat overworked, shall we say. There are among those who seek the truth many concepts which fascinate the mind. The very seeking of truth opens new vistas and presents the mind with information and experience of such a revolutionary nature, shall we say, that often it is difficult for the seeker to discern those concepts which have merit from those which merely attract attention. The concept of the twin soul, soul mate, and twin flame, or twin ray is a concept which has some basis in what you may call fact, but which offers little of value in the seeker’s experience. Though there are entities who have, from the great reaches of time and space as you know them, come into the Earth planes as groups and even as a type of mate, and there is, in our humble opinion an overemphasis upon such a phenomenon to the point where the searching for one’s, shall we say, other half becomes a replacement for the searching for truth. Therefore, may we say that such phenomena do exist yet are quite insignificant when viewed in relations to the purpose for such incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my sister. May we attempt another query at this time?

K: Yes. What can you say about an entity or entities in general who are almost incapable of making decisions. Even the decisions that really demand attention. What I’m asking is, is development stunted, or why do some entities have such difficulty in making decisions?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As with any distortion which any entity may express, the causes are not only many, but often complex in number. For example, an entity may have difficulty in deciding, due to some blockage within the entity’s energy centers, having to do with clear perception of the self or other selves and the relationship between. Another entity may also experience difficulty in making the decision because of a great desire never to infringe upon another’s free will, yet see the great difficulty in achieving this high ideal and moves that it may not infringe. Yet another entity may suffer the difficulty of making decisions because of the ability to analyze having been, shall we say, hampered or hindered in early incarnational experience so that the information necessary to the mind for action is slow in accumulation. Another entity may feel the paralysis of non-movement as a difficulty in decision making and a portion of a process of balancing actions at another time which moved with too great a speed, shall we say, and with carelessness. Therefore, it is not easy to discern which situation has resulted in the inability to make the decision. We hopefully have not been unable to make a decisive statement.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you. You’ve covered a lot of territory, and I thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you, we think. May we have another query at this time?

Carla: I’m not sure. (That’s a joke …)

Latwii: We are uncertain, as to whether to laugh.

Carla: I have a question. I hardly know how to put it, but I know everybody has these experiences. I just had one where I was utterly unable to like a fellow human being. I was perfectly willing to love him, but the guy was beyond me to love …

[Side one of tape ends.]

…these characters as I’m looking at myself in the mirror. My problem here is I can’t figure out what portion of myself I dislike. Because my whole reaction to this person’s vibrations, even on the telephone was panic, basically, I wanted to get away. What’s occurring in these unfortunate circumstances and what is there to learn?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, there are numerous points to consider. One may, indeed, look at such an entity and see those facets of the self which do not well reflect, shall we say. If an entity is too boisterous, is presumptuous, makes statements of arrogance, one may see that one is unable to accept such facets of the self. But it is also the case that an entity which has developed such characteristics to the extent that mastery, shall we say, of them has been achieved, an entity may develop the type of being which is, indeed, a vexation to a gentler spirit. As the pond in stillness lies without a ripple on its surface, the stone when thrown into the pond causes the disruption which does distort the beingness of the pond. As you look at an entity such as the one which you have described, you may see the entity as offering a very great amount of what you have termed catalyst. The amount may be in such degree that the very heart of the being which is yourself is much disturbed, as one could well expect from an overstimulation of this nature.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: What is there to learn?

I am Latwii. As always, my sister, the lesson to be learned is some aspect of Love and acceptance. It may be, however, that the Love to be learned may have an aspect of Wisdom connected to it. That is, how best to Love such an entity. It may be that to Love such an entity in the most helpful way to that entity would be not the simple acceptance of every portion without comment, but the gentle directing of Love in a manner which would attempt some form of sharing the self as an instructive technique so that the entity might know that as you accept it, you also have responses that are somewhat disturbing that you wish to share so that the entity might know that it is being perceived in such and such a manner by yourself as you Love to the best of your ability.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: M was talking earlier about not throwing pearls before swine and giving back the reflection of what she received. And this is basically what I’m hearing you say. The thing that bothers me about that is that I personally would prefer not to give my opinion of a person regardless of how much the person bothers me unless the person asks me. Is that a distortion that I would be better off leaving in the closet? Is it better to go ahead and be outspoken when another person is outspoken, in other words be a reflection of whatever you’re receiving? It seems to me that sometimes to give what you get is the pits because what you’re getting is not wonderful, or it’s not positive, is not helpful. Is there a question in there?

I am Latwii. We feel we have discerned your query, my sister. We do not mean to suggest by our previous statement that you reflect to such an entity that which you are receiving, for to do so would be to put yourself at the mercy of any entity of any nature which approached you. The great lesson of your density is the lesson of Love, acceptance without condition. You spoke as to the lesson which could have been learned with this particular entity. We spoke of a refinement to the lesson of Love, that being the inclusion of a portion of Wisdom with that Love. The way of Wisdom is to speak clearly and honestly without a dedication to the outcome, only wishing to speak clearly. Therefore, it is possible to refine the lesson of Love with such an entity, and we stress “refine,” which suggests that you do, indeed, accept such an entity fully. And this refinement may take the form of speaking in a manner which is most delicate, that is, speaking to what is perceived as a stumbling block, shall we say, that the entity may not be aware of. This is not judgment. A simple discernment instead, which offers on the, shall we say, on the outstretched hand of Love the morsel of Wisdom which is given in Love and suggests a refinement which may be helpful to the entity. This, of course, is most helpful only when asked, and in this case, we note there was no such request. Therefore, it may be that such refinement would not be possible. In any case, the refinement is offered only when asked, and is freely offered with no dedication to its acceptance, no, shall we say, argument of its good points; the simple expression given and whether it be received or rejected being considered unimportant.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

M: Yes. Maybe this is the wrong approach to life, but I’ve often found people who throw tension at me. When I throw it back at them, as they throw the ball to me, and I throw it back, they will comment on my tension, and I will say I’ve just thrown the tension back that you threw at me, and sometimes I think they learn by the reflection of themselves in me. Is this wrong?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, we assume you are aware that there are no wrong actions. The action of which you speak, as all actions, will teach a certain lesson to a certain entity in a certain degree of efficiency. You may do whatever you wish and be aware that service is offered, for there is no way that one may not be of service. As you move through your incarnation you will discover various ways of increasing the efficiency of your service as you become more consciously aware of the effects of your thinking upon your experience.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, I think that was very helpful. But I do have a question that’s not philosophical. I have weird experiences on occasion, and this is a sample of it. My daughter and I were in the car Thursday, and we were stopping someplace, and I said to my daughter, “Do you smell gasoline?” She said, “No, I don’t smell a thing”. I said, “I smell it, it’s gasoline.” She said, “I don’t smell a thing.” So that I was positive it was gasoline, and I was trying to figure out how I could smell it in the car, and then I said to myself, “Oh, I got gas an hour and a half ago, and I bet I left the gas cap off.” And so, she got out of the car and looked, and the gas cap was off, and I went to the gas station and picked up the gas cap and went on. Now why did I smell that gasoline and she didn’t? From where did I get that smell? Because she said there was no smell in the car.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To simply say that your senses are more acute than those of your daughter is not completely accurate. For in such an instance, not only the sense of smell may be involved, but also what might be described as the sense or awareness of things as they should be. It might be that your sense of responsibility for the well-being of your journey, your daughter, and the vehicle had been alerted by the subconscious noting of the gas cap’s omission and this, therefore, became the primary stimulus for the remembering analogy through the olfactory senses.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, I don’t completely understand you still, but I think that’s a good answer. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

K: Yes, right along the line that M has mentioned about the gas cap, I’ve always facetiously and yet with some sincerity said, “Well, that’s just my guardian angel watching after me.” And I’ve always said that, and essentially it is, I’m assuming the subconscious mind perceiving what the conscious mind does not perceive. Is that right?

I am Latwii. In some cases, my sister, this is correct. But it must also be noted that, indeed, those beings which you may describe as guardians or guardian angels do have their effect and do communicate certain thoughts at the appropriate moments. It is not usually possible to discern whether the thought has come from the subconscious or from such a guardian. Both are often utilized by the higher self to relay messages from the higher self to the incarnated self which moves in the illusion.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Well, no that explains a lot of riddles in my life because I never worry about what’s going to happen to me when I go out because I always think that my guardian angel is there, so in truth that guardian angel is there! Okay, that’s fine. Thank you. Let me go back to this other idea, and just see if I can clarify this a little bit. In the earlier conversation I said that I had my description of Love, at least the way I perceive it at this point. Love is unconditional acceptance of another entity, making no demands on his behavior or what he does. And I find sometimes that this is very much like, well, indifference. At least I don’t hurt him, and he doesn’t hurt me, regardless of what has been said or done. Now, is that concept of unconditional acceptance and indifference, are those concepts opposite to each other, or are they about the same? That’s a pretty awkward way to say it, but it’s the best way I can say it right now.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The effect of both of these concepts is quite similar in that the entity feeling either indifference or the unconditional Love does not have a response that could be considered in a significant distortion. In other words, the actions of the other self do not generate within the one feeling the unconditional Love or the indifference an emotion which moves the entity from the center of self. Yet the entity feeling the indifference has some portion of the self which has been held in reserve, shall we say. This holding of the self in reserve is a slight distortion of the inner being which, therefore, requires the balance, the balance being the releasing of the self which has been held that it might be expressed. The entity expressing the unconditional Love has no action within that is held, but allows the free expression of the compassion similar to that which one might feel for the newborn infant in its innocent actions. Such an infant is easily seen as worthy of unconditional Love. When one can feel such, shall we call it, emotion, for any entity at any time for any reason, then that balance of unconditional love has been achieved.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I believe that answers the question. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Could you say that indifference was quite a bit like unconditional denial or rejection?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Such terminology suggests the addition within the entity experiencing such a condition of a somewhat negative concept. This is quite possible. To exist—we correct this instrument. It is possible for such to exist within an entity, that is, that the indifference is distorted towards rejection. It is also possible that the indifference would not have such a distortion. It would be necessary to look at each particular case as an individual situation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No. I don’t want to get into semantics. It’s just, I have noticed previously, sometimes that when people are really angry with you, it’s basically a distorted expression of Love. But when you’re looking at blank indifference, you’re really looking at unconditional denial of your being practical. Not that it’s a negative denial, it’s just that you don’t exist. And it’s far harder to deal lovingly with that sort of a person or to make some kind of a communication with that kind of a person than to deal with a person who is honestly upset with something that you’ve said or done or if there’s a problem of communication because of the fact that anger, even though it seems like a negative thing, usually comes out rebounding into a very positive thing, whereas

I am Latwii. To comment upon your comment. We may suggest that it is most difficult for indifference to be pure, shall we say. It is most often the case that as you have stated, indifference is the perimeter of rejection and must first be penetrated before the truer feeling of the heart is known. Indifference is an—we correct this instrument—indifference is a state of being which is most difficult to achieve and maintain for it is the natural inertia or character, shall we say, of one’s being to respond in some fashion to those experiences and entities which surround one, thereby the use of catalyst is greatly facilitated. Whereas if indifference truly exists, then the use of catalyst is greatly hindered, and in the case where true indifference is felt, the use of catalyst is zero.

May we …

Carla: Thank you.

Latwii: We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

K: Yeah. I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but let me see if I can clarify this maybe for all of us. Particularly for me. I’ve worked in lots of situations in life that could have torn you apart; you do have to try to protect yourself, or you get in as bad a state as the people you work with. And when I talk of unconditional acceptance, that’s what I mean. They have a right to be as ornery as all get out from my point of view. Or they have a right to do this or that which is totally opposed to the way I think it should be done. But when I’m talking about indifference, I’m talking about stepping outside of the situation and letting the situation be. If there’s nothing I see I can do, then from my point of view, its just smart to step out of and recognize the fact that you really can’t help it very much. Now from that point of view, that is what I’m talking about when I say indifferent. I am indifferent because I don’t see anything I can do to help the situation. Now in that context, it seems to me that indifference is in a sense a caring thing. Is that right?

I am Latwii. In this instance we find that the word indifference is not the correct description for the situation, for where caring exists there is not indifference. If you have removed yourself from the situation which you do not feel you may affect, then you have in some degree built a perimeter, shall we say, around your caring, yet the caring exists. And should the situation change sufficiently, you may once again remove the perimeter and exercise the caring. Whereas if true indifference existed, there would be no caring to generate the future action.

May we answer you further, my sister?

[Inaudible]

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

M: Yes, I have one. I want to beat the dead horse a little more. To me, Love is where another human being brings out the best in me, positive responses, whether they feel the same way about me or not. If I Love them, then they bring out positive responses in me. Or, if it’s both ways, if two people Love each other, they bring positive responses in each other. Is that a definition of Love?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. One may define any emotion or term in any way as most entities, of course, do. Bringing out of the best in another may be seen as one portion of Love, that being the inspirational quality, yet one may see that the action called Loving may also include the ability to accept the worst in another with the same degree of enjoyment, shall we say, that the best qualities are enjoyed.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Yes, I’m a little confused. Do you mean that I would love a person that was extremely unpleasant, and consistently extremely unpleasant, that that would be a person that I would especially Love?

I am Latwii. We have attempted to suggest that within the boundaries of Love, as defined, there are, indeed, no boundaries. By this paradox we mean to suggest that Love is exercised by one who Loves toward the object of Love no matter what expression the object of Love has created. The child eating the bowl of soup may spill the soup and create the mess, yet receive Love. The child may simply sleep and yet receive the same Love. The child may injure the playmate, yet receive the same Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Well, I’m not sure I exactly … I can understand Loving something in a person who could do no better, such as a child. But say a person was very vicious, I would find that difficult to Love them in the same sense that I would Love a person who was kind and considerate. What is your opinion of that?

I am Latwii. In our humble opinion, my sister, each entity is but a child. For the child on your planet is seen as one small in experience, not aware of the total ramifications of each and every action. Yet the child grows and becomes what you people call an adult, but this does not mean that the entity knows whereof it acts. The one you have called Jesus, while upon the cross, prayed to the one Creator that it should forgive those about it, for they knew not what they did. Yet were they not adults? Each upon your planet is but a child in the great search for truth and when one looks at each entity traveling that path, that journey of seeking, one can see the many ways that ignorance is expressed. And even that entity which you may call vicious does not yet know the full import of its actions, but shall someday know them and shall make a balancing action that all shall be made whole. And it shall itself see the child within, always seeking, yet never fully knowing. Thus, the child moves forward so that it might know the Light and grow more fully into it.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Yes. I can understand that you should Love all other selves, but what I was meaning was that there are a few people that you come in contact with who do inspire you and who seem to bring out the best in you. And everybody can’t do that. So, there are a limited few people about who you can say, “I particularly Love that person.” Now, I don’t mean that you don’t Love everybody, your other selves in the larger sense, but don’t most people have a certain number of people that bring out the best in them?

I am Latwii. This, my sister, is correct for most entities, for there are a few, shall we say, easy questions on every test. May we answer you further?

M: No. I think you’ve answered me very well.

I am Latwii. We hope we have been of some small service. May we ask if there might be another question at this time?

Carla: Thanks, Latwii. I thought that your answers were especially inspirational.

K: Does the instrument have enough energy to answer another question?

I am Latwii. We believe that there is sufficient reserves for another query at this time.

K: I wanted to ask a question about the harvest. It seems that many, many people, just by listening to the TV, are aware that something comparable to a harvest is near. Before the harvest, do the people on the planet have to go through great catastrophes of, well, say, floods and famines and all that sort of thing, earthquakes, etc., etc.? Before the harvest do all of these, will all of these things take place?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Returning to our analogy of the test. When the student has prepared itself over the long period of the course in a sufficient manner, it is not necessary as the final testing approaches to engage in the last minute, shall we say, cramming in order that the exam which approaches might be passed. Upon your planet there has been much procrastination, shall we say. The harmonizing of the vibrations of the entities who have populated your cultures in the history of your planet is a record of a difficult progression and somewhat inefficient learning of the lessons of Love. Those incarnate upon your planet at this time have the opportunity of taking this final exam under conditions which most likely shall approach those which you describe due to the difficulty experienced throughout the major cycles of your planet. The difficulties shall add to the opportunity of graduation much like the student remaining awake the night before the exam for long hours going through the grueling process of covering that material which had previously been omitted and under such stress attempting then to present itself in such a manner at the time of examination that the examination is passed. Whereas if the entity had been more attentive to the requirements of the course over the long run, the final examination would not be so traumatic.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I believe that answers it.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I switched out the blue sheets and the blue, green, and white pillowcases on my bed and replaced them with the green sheets and the green, blue, and white pillowcases. Then I washed the blue sheets, blue, green, and white pillowcases, dried them, and then ironed them and put them back on one of the shelves in the bathroom.

This afternoon the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “In our everyday life, we may have one plan in mind, and the cosmic mind may have another, but we shall never know its plan so long as we are busily engaged in thinking, scheming, and reacting to the activities and distractions of the world. To receive the divine grace of the cosmic mind, there must be periods when the human mind is in a state of quiescence. The individual who is master of its destiny has reached the state of consciousness where nothing in this world is of any importance to them. Only that is significant which takes place when they have risen above the sea of thought. In that high place the divine thought, the divine activity of consciousness reveals itself. This does not mean that our mind must or will become a total bank, but it does mean that throughout the day and night we must have several periods of time in which there is no desire other than the joy of communion with God. It is in this complete stillness and respite from thinking that God takes over.

Before we can enter the mystical life, the habit of continuously thinking and talking must be transformed into the habit of continuously listening. Our Master spent much of His time in silent meditation and communion, and we may be assured that He was not asking God for anything of a material nature. He was not talking; he was listening. He was listening to God’s directions and instructions, for God’s guidance and support.

It is in developing that listening ability and receptivity that the human mind is quieted and becomes stilled to such a degree that it is an avenue or instrument through which God manifests and expresses Itself. This human mind, this reasoning, thinking mind, is not to be put off or destroyed. It has its place. It is not consciousness, but it is a facet of consciousness, an avenue of awareness through which we receive knowledge and wisdom from consciousness.”

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

February 1

Open Your Hearts To Love

I am the Spirit of Jesus the Christ left to the world upon this Master’s removal from it. I greet you in the comfortable Word of divine Love.

We proclaimed ourselves to this instrument this morning as the Spirit of the one infinite Creator. And so, we were challenged again in the name of Jesus the Christ, for the instrument felt we were too close in feeling to other material this instrument has received which seems not to be of Jesus the Christ.

Yet we must remind the instrument that all those of the world of Spirit move from the one Creator, and as this instrument challenges in the name of Jesus the Christ, so all who come to this instrument are linked in unity of consciousness.

To some we are angels; to others, alien beings. Yet in our essence is our function; in our Love and its communication, our hope of service. You, who seek to serve Jesus the Christ, open your hearts to the perfect Love of yourself, for you were created by Love. You are love. The rest is surface behavior and confusion. May you sink into the comfort of your true nature.

May you seek the comfort of the Spirit of Christ. And may you manifest the Love which flows through you to all whom you meet this day.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from December 12, 1982:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. “In Memoriam.” “In the memory of.” How many times have your hearts been touched by the memory of one whose courage, bravery, or goodness was so outstanding that your attention is caught, and your heart is drawn up in an emotion of love and admiration for the memory of someone, some brave act, some heroic deed. It is written that the one known as Jesus looked past his own physical death and offered to his disciples a proper memorial, for this teacher knew well that those seeds which He had planted during His incarnation, if they were good, would bloom long after that passage which confronted Him when He offered bread and wine to His brothers.

As you look about your own memories you may find yourself realizing that due to the exigencies of your third-density illusion, the difficulties and problems of living, you are not able to crystallize and bring into an orderly form your appreciation for those whose lives you touch until they have departed from you. When they have gone, you evaluate an incarnation and say, “There is a great loss. There was a fine person.” Let us turn the eye of the seeker upon this common misconception of the ways of Love. It is always helpful to the one who Loves to offer that Love, even if it is only to a memory. But far more lively does that love become when it is offered to one who lives in his or her imperfect way, within the framework of your observation. How difficult it is to Love the living person in motion, in change, in transit. You are fortunate if you can achieve that love for any great percentage of your experience, for to many among your people experiencing that love within the illusion while faced with the waking face of another is utterly unknown and will not ever be experienced.

In this session Hatonn spoke about how we can deal with the loss of a loved one. They began by saying how many times have your hearts been touched by the memory of one whose courage was so outstanding that your attention is caught, and your heart is drawn up in an emotion of Love and admiration for the memory of someone and some heroic deed, and it is written that Jesus looked past His own physical death and offered to His disciples a proper memorial, for this teacher knew well that those seeds which He had planted during His incarnation, if they were good, would bloom long after that passage which confronted Him when He offered bread and wine to His brothers. Then Hatonn said as you look about your memories you may find yourself realizing that due to the needs of your third-density illusion and the difficulties of living, you are not able to crystallize your appreciation for those whose lives you touch until they have departed from you, and when they have gone, you evaluate an incarnation and say, “There is a great loss. There was a fine person,” so let us turn the eye of the seeker upon this common misconception of the ways of Love, for it is always helpful to the one who Loves to offer that Love, even if it is only a memory, but far more lively does that Love become when it is offered to one who lives in his or her imperfect way, within the framework of your observation, so how difficult it is to Love the living person in change, and you are fortunate if you can achieve that Love for any great percentage of your experience, for to many of your people experiencing that Love within the illusion while faced with the waking face of another is unknown and will not ever be experienced. On January 25, 1981, Latwii described how we may learn the ways of Love:

Yes, my brother, many miss their lessons, but not because they do not receive them again and again. Free will is always in effect. You chose your lesson, each of you in this room. Not all of your people are able to do this. Some must incarnate randomly until they have reached a certain level of understanding. However, each of you has programmed certain lessons in order to learn the ways of Love.

There are many, many times that each of you has decided not to learn a particular lesson. This lesson immediately returns in another form. You again may choose. You are never hopelessly lost. This instrument has the expression in her mind, “All roads lead to Rome.” This is true of your journey in this lifetime. If you miss a turn, there is always another turning that will bring you back to the correct path. Perhaps a few detours have been experienced by each of you. This is not a cause for discouragement.

For you see, my friends, entities do not seem to be perfect. One may watch a tree flower and exclaim over the lovely blooms and cherish the fruit in its season and glory, in the radiance of the autumnal leaf, and stand in admiration of the sturdy skeleton the winter tree gives us, unafraid, unbowed, and utterly without pretense. In reality, people are just as the tree. They flower; they bear fruit; they have their moments of dazzling radiance; they have their births; they have their deaths; and they have those moments when they stand naked to the world, caught in an instant of being precisely who they are.

But how can each of us see each other as perfect without waiting for each other to become memories? We must always move within when we seek the truth of Love, for that which is Love begins with each entity in the circle, each of Hatonn who speaks to you. The original Thought is each of you. So, it is to yourself you must apply for wisdom upon the matter of how to Love the ever-changing people about you. And the first person whom you encounter as you seek the heart of that truth is yourself. How many times today have you experienced yourself as perfect? How many times today have you experienced yourself as utterly without pretense and totally open to view? If your answer is in the negative, or is in the low numbers, do not feel that you are one of few who have missed noticing the perfection of their own beings. No, my friends, few there are indeed who are willing even to consider the possibility of themselves as sparks of that divine fire, that original Thought, that Logos, the Creator.

Hatonn went on to say for you see entities do not seem to be perfect, and one may watch a tree flower and exclaim over the lovely blooms and cherish the fruit in its season in the radiance of the autumnal leaf and stand in admiration of the sturdy skeleton the winter tree gives us, unafraid and without pretense, so in reality people are just as the tree, for they flower, bear fruit, have moments of dazzling radiance, and they have their births their deaths, and they have those moments when they stand naked to the world, caught in an instant of being precisely who they are. Then Hatonn said we must always move within when we seek the truth of Love, for that which is Love begins with each entity in the circle, each of Hatonn who speaks to you, for the original Thought is each of you, so it is to yourself you must apply for wisdom upon the matter of how to Love the ever-changing people about you, and the first person whom you encounter as you seek the heart of that truth is yourself, so: “How many times today have you experienced yourself as perfect? How many times today have you experienced yourself as utterly without pretense and totally open to view?” Now Hatonn said if your answer is in the negative, or is in the low numbers, do not feel that you are one of few who have missed noticing the perfection of their own beings because few there are who are willing to consider the possibility of themselves as sparks of that original Thought, that Logos, the Creator. On November 13, 2010, Q’uo spoke about the truth of Love:

It is not that you have become one who controls your life. It is that you have become one who enjoys the surprises of life and who knows that even in the darkest hour, there is Light and Love aplenty for one whose mind is stayed upon the truth of Love.

Each time your heart beats and sends the blood through your veins, it beats in Love. Love is the essence of your being at all levels. Love is the health of your body, the strength of your spirit, the deepener of your emotions. Seek to Love and remember to allow yourself to be Loved in return. No push, no pull, but a resting, a contemplation of beauty, and a devotion; a thirst and hunger for the Creator’s presence in your life and, my brother, you will make that habit, and you will feel comfortable inside your skin at last. Ask for help. You know we are there and you know many others are as well.

As you meditate, my friends, look for yourself. You are perfect. The place whereon you stand is holy ground. You cannot separate yourself from the sanctity of the truth which you seek. In all humility, may we suggest that you experience surrendering yourself to that divine Creator within you. The offshoots of this surrender are many, and you will find that you do not need to be touched only by memories, for life will begin to fill itself with the beauty, the joy, and the completion of the one Creator as it is shown to you in the ever-changing faces of all those who surround you and of yourself. It was written in your holy works, “Lift up your heads, oh ye gates.” Imagine that those great portals are the eyes of your inner being and lift up those everlasting doors within, that the King of Glory who waits may fill your being. We ask that you hear our words, knowing that we are full of mistakes and errors and only wish to share with you those things which have inspired us as we go upon our own pilgrimage. To speak with you is an enormous aid for us, and we thank you with all our hearts while reminding you to let no word of ours influence your thinking if it does not seem comfortable and appropriate to your seeking at this time.

Hatonn continued by saying as you meditate look to yourself, for you are perfect, and the place whereon you stand is holy ground, but you cannot separate yourself from the sanctity of the truth which you seek, so we suggest that you experience surrendering yourself to that divine Creator within you, for the results of this surrender are many, and you will find that you do not need to be touched only by memories, for life will begin to fill itself with the beauty, the joy, and the completion of the one Creator as it is shown to you in the ever-changing faces of all those who surround you and of yourself, and it was written in the Bible, “Lift up your heads, oh ye gates,” and imagine that those portals are the eyes of your inner being, and lift up those everlasting doors within, that the King of Glory who waits may fill your being, so we ask that you hear our words, knowing that we are full of errors and only wish to share with you those things which have inspired us as we go upon our own pilgrimage, and to speak with you is an aid for us, and we thank you with all our hearts while reminding you to let no word of ours influence your thinking if it does not seem appropriate to your seeking at this time. On November 23, 2023, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our inner being:

The energy that knocks you down may or may not have come from your own spiritual choices as to the kind of ways you respond to growth, the growth of your own spiritual awareness in certain areas of your life experience. These areas are places within your own being which have the potential for being helpful if you can realize their origin and how they knock you down. This is a process of your inner being, which has great potential for helping you to become more spiritually aware if you are able to see where the energies have been moved by unconscious choice in many cases, that are reflective of how you deal with difficulties. The choices are those which have the ability to halt or cause the movement of awareness to become confused. Fused in a manner which blends maybe this, maybe that when there is the clear perception of the cause. Then the knocking down is removed as a possibility.

We would like to exercise the other instruments and close through others. We will transfer now if the one known as M would accept our contact. I am Hatonn.

(M channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Your attention at this time is focused on the birth of a child and how he changed the world. But do you realize the beauty of the birth of any child? All are similar, and yet every one is different. You are aware of the effect of this miraculous child on the world, but do you realize that each child born changes the world? Some people change many people. Some people change things. But everyone has some effect. If you would see the miraculous things that a life can do and appreciate it, taking your hand, reaching over, picking up something is truly miraculous. If you are aware of all the things that had to go right for you to perform this single simple act, you would see the whole universe and consider it a miracle.

You see many miracles every day, but because they happen often you don’t think about these miracles. You don’t see the entire creation when you reach your hand to pick up something. Nothing is born that is not a miracle. A little animal, a plant, and the world will never be the same because that animal, and that plant, and that human are different than every other plant, animal, and human. They are truly miracles. You would find it difficult to be depressed if you realized all the miracles that are around you. Even a cake baking in the oven if you had never seen a cake baked would be truly miraculous. People who have never seen snow falling are speechless when they see it. To them it is a miracle. Everything, my friends, is a miracle if you see the infinite Creator in all things.

As you go through your life, and as you go through your everything else, do you see the Creator in everything? Do you realize that you truly are miraculous? How much it took for you to be born, to grow, and even to die and make place for another? All things are miraculous. And yet some people see none of them. The only miracle they see is the first time they see something. But if you see something for the thousandth time and still think of it as a miracle, you have a link with eternity. And if you can see a miracle for ten thousand times and still see it as a miracle, you are close to truth.

I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and again I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We will close with one final thought about creation. Everything that is manifest is just another aspect of the infinite Creator. Nothing is manifest without the power and the presence of the one infinite Creator. These concepts are difficult for those of you of the third density, and yet if one ponders for a short time, the truth of it becomes evident. It has been great pleasure and joy for us to be here with you in meditation, and I now leave you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are especially pleased to be able to greet this group this evening, for we have an honor and a duty—that is growing greater and greater as time passes—to this group; that is, our attempt to answer your queries in a way which may be of service to each of you. We thank each for requesting our presence. May we now begin with the first query?

Carla: I challenge you. Speak you in the name of Christ? Are you truly Latwii and do you come in the name of Christ?

I am Latwii. We do, indeed, come and greet you in the name of the Christ whom you know as Jesus. We speak more deliberately this evening as a result of the request of this instrument that it be more purely able to communicate our thoughts. Therefore, a portion of this process must include the increase of what your group knows as the conditioning vibration. This is not necessarily true for another instrument, but true for this instrument so that it might be reassured that it is operating more purely without the inclusion of its own thoughts in a conscious manner to the message which we share.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Not on that point. I’m satisfied. Thank you very much. You’re right, it was the difference in the rate of delivery that concerned me. On the same bent, though, I would like to ask another question. Donnie told me that Friday there was very strong conditioning that came to several instruments in the group that they were not able to distinguish the signal, and my suspicion, merely from experience with this particular contact, was that it may well have been Oxal, which is a fairly narrowband contact and, while very strong in the conditioning, is difficult to get clearly. I was wondering if you could confirm this and if it was indeed a pure contact, that is, purely positive?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance the opportunity being offered to these two entities to channel an entity which is less than purely positive. You are familiar with the greetings which the work of this group has produced from the entities which enjoy the darker portion of the one infinite Creator. It is not an easy task to purely channel entities which are beyond your ken. It is a task which requires great vigilance, for you may look upon each instrument as likened unto a crystal of your precious stones. Each instrument in the configuration of mind presents a structure or latticework which transmits that similar to Light that is the thoughts of another of Confederation origin according to the tuning. Be there thoughts of separation—such as anger, frustration, jealousy—then there is the break in the regularity of the crystalline structure which causes a distortion in that structure and allows an opening for other entities to utilize.

This is not a great problem for this group at this time, for in general each is quite aware of the necessity for the proper tuning as a group. The utilization of the individual tuning has been less than desired in some cases. That is to say, as each potential instrument enters the meditative state after the tuning for the group has been accomplished, there is the further need to purify the desire of the entity to serve as an instrument in the positive sense of service to others. This may take any form, as we have mentioned. Then the challenging of any contact which is received is necessary in order that the final phase of tuning might be accomplished. This instrument, for example, took longer than was its means or method usually in speaking our words, for it was in the process of accomplishing this challenge. Then if any within the group feels uncomfortable with the contact as it is transmitted, then let that entity challenge the contact as did the one known as Carla this evening.

Carla asked: “Donnie told me that Friday there was very strong conditioning that came to several instruments in the group that they were not able to distinguish the signal, and my suspicion, merely from experience with this particular contact, was that it may well have been Oxal, which is a fairly narrowband contact and, while very strong in the conditioning, is difficult to get clearly. I was wondering if you could confirm this and if it was indeed a pure contact, that is, purely positive?” Latwii said we find in this instance the opportunity being offered to these two entities to channel an entity which is less than purely positive, and you are familiar with the greetings which the work of this group has produced from the entities which enjoy the darker portion of the one infinite Creator, for it is not an easy task to purely channel entities which are beyond your nature, and it is a task which requires vigilance, for you may look upon each instrument as likened unto a crystal of your precious stones, so each instrument in the configuration of mind presents a structure which transmits that which is similar to Light that is the thoughts of another of Confederation origin according to the tuning, but if there are thoughts of separation such as anger or jealousy, then there is the break in the regularity of the crystalline structure which causes a distortion in that structure and allows an opening for other entities to utilize.

On October 24, 1982, Latwii spoke of the necessity of challenging any contact that wishes to speak through an instrument:

Therefore, my brother, do not take upon yourself the responsibility for permitting this influence within the group. What you might do to insure positive contact in future sessions is precisely the same as what any instrument might do, that is, the challenging of any contact by whatever means has meaning to you, whether it be in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of the Christ consciousness, in the name of the service-to-others polarity, or by whatever means carries weight within your perception. Therefore, let this means be used so that each instrument at each sensing of contact might then challenge that contact and continue the challenging until a firm response in the positive polarity has been received. This may take some small portion of what you call time, but if you will pursue this general suggestion, you may rest assured that only the positive polarity entities will remain to use your instrument.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

K: Yes. I really don’t know how to ask this question, but I’m going to make a try. After my meditation this morning, the thoughts occurred to me that, well, these thoughts occurred to me, I guess, as a result of having had backache again because I did too much at Thanksgiving time, and I’ve had to pay the heavy price again, but the thought occurred to me after the meditation that, one, that we can request a healer to help in the healing process in the body, and the second thought was that we can visualize healing energies in the body that do the same thing for the body that the oil does for the moving parts of my automobile. And I’ve been able to get through the day without pain as a result of those thoughts that came to after my meditation. Now my question is, did my thoughts relieve the pain, or … well, can you comment on that?

I am Latwii. My sister, we can comment by suggesting that whatever the means used by the entity seeking healing, the healing occurs as a result of the efforts of the one Creator which is at the heart of your being. There are various means by which this might be accomplished. Whatever the means, it is only necessary that the entity seeking healing at some portion within itself realize that it is whole and perfect, and that healing has been accomplished. Some seek the aid of your orthodox healers who may be of assistance simply by giving their attention to the one seeking healing. Therefore, many symptoms disappear in the waiting room. Some seek the blessing of a sacred place or thought

…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii. To continue … and allow this blessing to connect the conscious mind with the deep portion of mind that is one with the Creator and, thereby, allow the healing to occur. Whatever means is used, the more conscious the entity is of the reality of unity of self with all, the more effective the means of healing is.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Your comment about tuning in was interesting because the thought had also come two or three days previously that my radio is powerless until I plug it into the wall, connect it to the power. And as I had the pain, I thought, why can’t I tune into power like that? So, it seems like the thoughts all were sort of connected and had the same meaning. Now is this—and I hadn’t really been asking for healing—if this is true for one’s own self, then can this be extended to others, this kind of healing extended to others or given to others?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The process of healing, as we have mentioned, is the process of realizing that the self at the heart of self is one with all, therefore, is whole, perfect, and healed of any distortion. You inhabit an illusion that allows great distortions in many directions that you might experience the variety and depth of meaning of the one Creator. As you bring these distortions into balance you create the process of healing for yourself, for in that process of balancing polarities of distortion, you emphasize within your deep mind the unity that binds all of creation.

As this process of balancing continues within your own being, this growth then acts as a healing process to your own complex of mind, body, and spirit. The process of growth and the process of healing, therefore, are one process. As you proceed upon this journey you become able to offer a service to others which has been likened unto shining a Light in the darkness. The minds and hearts of others are touched; inspiration is delivered and received. You may further refine this process by offering to the physical vehicle of another the catalyst, shall we say, that allows that entity to complete the process of healing within itself in a certain distortion if that entity requests it to the depths of its being. Then you function as what you may call a healer upon the levels of mind, body, and spirit.

K asked: “Your comment about tuning in was interesting because the thought had also come two or three days previously that my radio is powerless until I plug it into the wall, connect it to the power. And as I had the pain, I thought, why can’t I tune into power like that? So, it seems like the thoughts all were sort of connected and had the same meaning. Now is this—and I hadn’t really been asking for healing—if this is true for one’s own self, then can this be extended to others, this kind of healing extended to others or given to others?” Latwii replied that the process of healing is the process of realizing that the self at the heart of self is one with all, and it is perfect and healed of any distortion, and you inhabit an illusion that allows distortions in many directions that you might experience the variety and depth of meaning of the one Creator, so as you bring these distortions into balance you create the process of healing for yourself, for in that process of balancing polarities of distortion, you emphasize within your deep mind the unity that binds all of creation.

In 86.15, Ra spoke of one way the process of healing occurs:

The portions of the dreaming process which are helpful for polarization and also for the vision of the mystic take place in time/space and, consequently, use the bridge from metaphysical to physical for what seems to be a brief period of your space/time. The time/space equivalent is far greater.

The bridge remains, however, and traduces each distortion of mind, body, and spirit as it has received the distortions of energy influxes so that healing may take place. This healing process does not occur with the incidence of rapid eye movement but, rather, occurs largely in the space/time portion of the mind/body/spirit complex using the bridge to time/space for the process of healing to be enabled.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that makes a lot of sense, and I understand my own thoughts better. But just let me make one little summary statement. Then the pain that I had served as a catalyst for my own growth and understanding. Is that right?

I am Latwii. This is correct, my sister, when you realize that the pain is one among many catalysts, though a quite efficient one.

May we answer you further?

K: I agree it’s pretty efficient! It has been for me. No, thank you.

M: Well, I have the reverse situation, Latwii. I never have pain. Am I missing something? Am I missing an opportunity to grow? Or is there some particular reason why I never have pain? Almost everybody I know has aches and pains and something’s wrong with them. And I never take an aspirin, and I never have any pain. Am I missing something?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The concept of “missing something” is correct, although one might more fruitfully state the situation as the experiencing of that which is necessary for growth of mind, body, and spirit. Some entities do not utilize all forms of catalyst, for their lessons do not require all forms of catalyst. Therefore, you may, indeed, be missing something, but the something may not be necessary for your growth as you have designed it.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No. I guess it doesn’t matter, then, that I’m missing it. I do have another question, though. How could we have made the birth of Christ which was in a stable and was a very simple thing into a very expensive, complicated, disappointing, annoying holiday?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The birth of the one known as Jesus has occurred within the previous two millennia of your planet’s history. The entity accomplished its mission with great Love and profound effect upon the minds and the spirits of the people of your planet. Through these many years the various perceptions of this entity’s purpose have grown and flowered in many directions. Each perceives in a certain manner the value of the entity’s life stream. The people of your planet at this time, and especially of your country at this time, have the means of communication which allows many to experience the perceptions of a few concerning this event. Therefore, the perceptions of the few have been combined with the, shall we say, economic realities of your illusion, so that there is an effect which may be likened unto looking at a picture buried in a pool of muddy water. Therefore, it is the case that each within your illusion that to see most clearly the purpose of the life of the one known as Jesus of Nazareth must look within the heart, for there the illusion of profit and loss falls away so that the message of Love radiates throughout the being.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: I’m still not sure how all this bustle and shopping and shopping and losing their temper and buying gifts to exchange them, how that came into being in connection with a child born in a stable. It seems like we would have a simple meal and maybe sleep on straw pallets to give us some of the feeling of Christmas. Instead, we just reversed Jesus’ birth. And I can’t figure out how we accomplished that.

I am Latwii. Perhaps we may use a simple analogy, well known to some within this group. Imagine a row of people, as you call them, each sitting upon a chair. Many are the numbers. A thought is spoken into the ear of one at the end of the row. This entity then leans to his right and speaks the thought to the next entity who in turn does the same and so forth down the line of entities until at the end there is the speaking of a thought which began at the far end and traveled the course being spoken and distorted at each speaking so that when it arrives at the other end it is very different than when it began.

Imagine also that the surroundings of these entities change greatly as the thought is spoken towards the far end, and there is great noise, confusion and distraction. The thought at its final destination appears greatly distorted from when it began. In this manner the simplicity of the message of Love has been distorted by the years, the perceptions of mind, and the surrounding cultures in which the perception has been nurtured, however distorted.

May we answer you further?

M: No. I think you’ve explained it. Thank you.

Latwii: We thank you, my sister. Is there another question at this time?

Carla: If the instrument is not too fatigued, I have a question. I have a friend who has experienced a good deal of swelling in the limbs, water weight, apparently, and it seems to have been in connection with some sort of an insect bite to which he was allergic, we’re not sure. I was wondering if you could comment, and if you could, if you would comment on any of four points. The physical cause of this, the metaphysical cause or implications, what I can do for this entity, and what this entity can do for himself.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that though this information may be spoken of in some general sense, that the relationship of this instrument to the entity to which you speak has a distorting factor which we cannot penetrate at this time, for there are extenuating circumstances, as you may call them, concerning the process of relaying our thoughts.

Carla: In that case I take it back.

Latwii: I am Latwii. We appreciate your concern and thoughtfulness. Is there another question at this time?

K: Yes, I don’t want this to be a long answer and wear out the instrument, so it can be answered briefly. When Jesus, according to the scripture, when Jesus left this planet, or he told the disciples that it was necessary for him to leave, and that He could do a greater work by leaving because He was going to send the Comforter, or as the Holy Spirit, is this a vibration that we can tune into sort of like tuning into the radio or TV?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is indeed as you have surmised. There is a characteristic vibration with each seeker which attracts to the seeker entities who serve that particular calling, so that when the seeker calls in meditation, in contemplation, in the conscious thinking process during the daily round of activities, then the seeker is answered by the entity, or group of entities, which serves as Comforter to that seeker.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Then I assume that those who follow the teaching of Buddha, and I’m assuming that Buddha left some kind of vibration that seekers of that faith can tune in to also. Is that true?

I am Latwii. This is correct, my sister, though we add that the Comforter for those whose distortions correspond to the teachings of the one known as the Buddha may also correspond to entities seeking according to the teachings of the one known as Jesus, or the teachings of the one known as Mohammed, or according to the teachings of any teacher, for the vibration is the key, the means of its reflection is unimportant.

May we answer you further?

K: No, that’s fine. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

M: I have a very short one. How important are dreams in helping a person fulfill their destiny?

I am Latwii. That state of being which you know of as the dream state is most efficient for those consciously seeking to accelerate the evolution of mind, body and spirit. The dream is the symbolic representation of the catalyst which the entity is attempting to process. The dream presents this symbolic picture in a means which is oftentimes more easily recognized than the entity may find catalyst to be in its daily round of activities. Therefore, one may see the dream as a reminder and a crystallization of that which is the entity’s next opportunity for growth.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Just a little bit. If a person doesn’t remember their dream, is that at all helpful? Does the dream in itself accomplish anything if it’s not remembered?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Many are the varieties of dreams. Some work their purpose when unrecalled by the entity experiencing them. These, in general, are of a healing nature, and it is not always the case that the entity shall remember dreams of this nature.

May we answer you further?

M: Just one short question. If a person tries to remember their dreams, is this good or bad?

I am Latwii. We refrain from using either term, for there is no judgment of this nature that is helpful, in our humble opinion. We would instead suggest that the attempt to remember and utilize the dream is an efficient means of processing catalyst and accelerating growth.

May we answer you further?

M: No, thank you, that answers it very well. I knew I shouldn’t have said good or bad, after I said it.

I am Latwii. Is there another question at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii. We thank you, my friends, for allowing us to join you this evening. It has been an honor which we treasure. We remind each, as always, that a simple request for our presence shall bring us rejoicing to you at any time that you call. We shall leave this group now rejoicing in that Love and that Light of the one infinite Creator. I am Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Although our object is to attain a quietness and receptivity, we should never try to still the human mind; never try to stop thinking or to blank out our thoughts. It cannot be done. When we begin to meditate, and thoughts of an unruly nature come, we should remember that they are world thoughts, not our thoughts. Let them come. We will sit back and watch them, see them impersonally. Eventually they will stop, and we will be at peace. As often as our thought wanders in meditation, we gently come back, with no impatience, to the subject of the meditation. There will come a time, as we continue in this practice, when these extraneous thoughts will not impinge on our consciousness. We will have starved them by neglect. We will have made ourselves unreceptive to them by not fighting them that they will not return to plague us. But if we fight them, they will be with us forever.

In meditation we must be very patient in our endeavor to conquer any sense of unrest. No truth that we do not already know is going to be given to us from without, but the Light presented on that truth from within our own Soul makes it applicable in our experience. Truth that comes from without is a mere semblance of truth; it is the truth revealed within our own consciousness which becomes the Light of the world to all who come within range of it. ‘I, if I be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all people unto me.’ Meditation will lift us to the point where we apprehend the word of truth in its inner significance. The rhythm of the universe takes possession of us. We do not move; we do not think; but we feel that we are in tune, that there is a rhythm to life, that there is a harmony of being. This is more than peace of mind; this is the spiritual peace which passeth understanding.

In order to enter into the mystical life, we must master the ability to remain in the silence without thought. This is the most difficult part of all spiritual practice. In no way is this a cessation or repression of thought, or an effort toward such; instead, it is such a deep communion with God that thought stops of its own accord. In that moment of silence, we begin to understand that the divine mind, or cosmic consciousness, is an infinite intelligence imbued with Love, and it functions as our being, when conscious thinking has been stilled.”

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first at Paul’s Fruit Market and bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Speedway Gas where once again I filled Stanley’s tires with air.

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

The Arid Seedcases Of Words

I greet you in the consciousness of the Love of Jesus Christ.

I am the spirit of that Love among the nations of the world, the force which carries the single concept of Love in the clumsy containers of words to all who may have ears to hear.

Yet how can words wake up to the aliveness of the Spirit, which cannot be contained within the arid seedcases of words? It is a great temptation to speak only in poetry, only in stories, to attempt to evoke feelings beyond words, emotion beyond concept.

For though we offer knowledge, it is not knowledge of words but knowledge of faith. For the full consciousness of Love evokes an assurance and a delight. If you feel not these things, ask again for the Spirit’s comfort, that you may know the Love of Jesus Christ and reflect it in your life; that you, too, may carry in awkward seedcases the living and fructifying Love of Christ to all who have ears to hear.

In peace I leave you, now and always. I am the Holy Spirit of Jesus the Christ.

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 and Latwii channelings come from December 5, 1982:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet you in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. Now is the time of forgetfulness [inaudible] as you sit in this circle, you struggle against the pressures of the illusion. Now are the dark and dismal days, the cloud-filled hours. Now is the time of each pilgrim resting quietly under the skeleton of a once-leafy tree, the dusty miles behind and pondering the bend in the road ahead, and which turn should be taken when two roads converge. Now is the time when the weary pilgrim may learn the lesson [inaudible], for upon its surface is nothing of comfort. It is a creature forged in fire and left to weather the millennia. As the weather moves, so moves the pilgrim. It may be shaped by water, but it must be; it has no nimble feet, nor shall it ever, a [inaudible] unto itself more of itself.

The pilgrim moves with Light and laughter, and yet, my friends, upon the rock the pilgrim may gaze to see moss and lichen growing green and vivid evermore, sharing Light and laughter and growth, so that even the bare rock finds companionship, finds that which draws upon it, finds that which very slowly brings the great elements which compose it towards the light to grow, to turn towards the light and to seek laughter that is the harvest of growth. It is not within us, as those who offer our humble words to you, to speak easy words about difficult matters. Far more is it like us to speak in many different ways about that which is easy, for when we speak of Love, when we speak of Light, and when we speak of the original Thought, we speak of the most simple union of all that there is and the seeking of it in meditation. But there is a great desire in this group, as we perceive, to put forth into manifestation a not-so-hazy picture of spirituality, not some motto upon a wall, some words easily spoken and more easily forgotten, but rather a desire to learn to be a clear and lucid manifestation of the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the path of the pilgrim in the third density. They began by saying now is the time of forgetfulness, and as you sit in this circle you struggle against the pressures of the illusion, for now are the dark days, the cloud-filled hours, so now is the time of each pilgrim resting under the skeleton of a once-leafy tree, the dusty miles behind and pondering the bend in the road ahead, and which turn should be taken when two roads converge, yet now is the time when the weary pilgrim may learn the lesson [inaudible], for upon its surface is nothing of comfort, and it is a creature forged in fire and left to weather the millennia, so as the weather moves, so moves the pilgrim, and it may be shaped by water, but it must be, for it has no nimble feet, nor shall it ever. Then Hatonn said the pilgrim moves with Light and laughter, yet upon the rock the pilgrim may gaze to see moss and lichen growing green evermore, sharing Light, and laughter, and growth, so that the bare rock finds companionship that turns towards the light and seeks laughter that is the harvest of growth, but is not within us to speak easy words about difficult matters, and it is like us to speak in different ways about that which is easy, for when we speak of Love and Light, and when we speak of the original Thought, we speak of the simple union of all that there is and the seeking of it in meditation, but there is a desire in this group to put forth into manifestation a not-so-hazy picture of spirituality, not some words easily spoken and more easily forgotten, but a desire to learn to be a clear manifestation of the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. On February 7, 1982, Latwii described the union of all that there is:

Therefore, we may simply answer you by saying your desire is that which shall ensure your maintaining of such levels of energy upon the spiritual, the mental, and the physical complex nature. We could suggest a multitude of exercises, diets, regimens, readings, and other paraphernalia of the spiritual seeker, but we do not feel that specific suggestions such as these are of most service to those who seek upon the spiritual path, for most often such externalities, shall we say, simply dissipate one’s energies, when the simple rekindling of the desire to seek the one Creator on a daily basis, no matter how simple or short, is that which shall assure your treading of the path of the pilgrim, the one who seeks union of all with all and through each experience that is encountered.

And, when we begin to speak of the manifestation of that inward grace which comes to those who seek, we then must speak as simply as possible, in parable and description, of the great complexity which you face as you face the illusion. It is our thanksgiving and our joy to greet each other within and beyond that illusion, yet we know also that you are the pilgrims of the rock, and that there are many, many times, as you would say, when your cane shall fail you, when your legs grow weary with working, and when your mind can no longer hear the silence of that truth which you seek. Sit you down and know that there is no need for you to carry those difficulties, confusions, and burdens which are yours by using your own resources. It is to be expected that you shall not be able to carry what load it is that you face, for it is only in working with the difficulties that seem to limit your time, your space, and your peace that you learn at last to turn and seek for the infinity of strength, Love, and Light which lies within you.

If you are a rock, if you must nakedly face your burdens. How is it then that you are temporarily unaware of that which is alive, miraculously and impossibly alive: moss upon stone. Does the moss gain its food from the air itself? Does it feed upon the stone? Neither of these is true, my friend, and yet moss does grow. You are never without comfort, although you may choose to avoid embracing that comfort. You may wish to push on with your cane and your weary legs to handle those relationships which are difficult, to do your duty, to ponder your [inaudible] and to forge your way ahead, saying sternly to yourself that you shall be equal to your task. But, my friends, the serenity of the great surrendering of that point of view is one of the great initiations into pilgrimage. As you face that which comes to you, rejoice when it comes to you, but, when it comes to you to be driven to rest upon your stone and gaze from [inaudible] difficulty, remember, inasmuch as you can, that your desire to seek the truth may best be manifested in your illusion by a surrendering, a giving up of the hardness of your nature. For, when there is that surrender, you become a thing able to manifest growth and light and laughter where there was only stone.

Hatonna continued by saying when we begin to speak of the manifestation of that inward grace which comes to those who seek, we must speak in parables of the complexity which you face as you face the illusion, and it is our joy to greet each other within and beyond that illusion, yet we know that you are the pilgrims of the rock, and that there are many times when your legs grow weary with working, and when your mind can no longer hear the silence of that truth which you seek, so sit down and know that there is no need for you to carry those burdens which are yours by using your own resources, for it is expected that you shall not be able to carry what load it is that you face, for it is only in working with the difficulties that seem to limit your time and your peace that you learn to turn and seek for the infinity of strength, Love, and Light which lies within you. Hatonn continued by saying if you must nakedly face your burdens: “How is it then that you are temporarily unaware of that which is alive, miraculously and impossibly alive: moss upon stone. Does the moss gain its food from the air itself? Does it feed upon the stone?” Hatonn said either of these is true, yet moss does grow, and you are never without comfort, although you may choose to avoid embracing that comfort, and you may wish to push on with your weary legs to handle those relationships which are difficult and to forge your way ahead, saying to yourself that you shall be equal to your task, but the serenity of the surrendering of that point of view is one of the initiations into pilgrimage, for as you face that which comes to you, rejoice when it comes to you, but when it comes to you to be driven to rest upon your stone and gaze at difficulty, remember that your desire to seek the truth may be manifested in your illusion by a surrendering of the hardness of your nature, for when there is surrender, you become able to manifest growth and laughter where there was only stone. On August 4, 1985, Latwii spoke of the value of our desire to seek the truth:

I am Latwii, and we believe we grasp the dilemma, and it is a dilemma which is most prevalent within your illusion, for each seeker is one carrying a tiny Light in the darkest of night, attempting to discover a path which will take it from where it is to where it wishes to be. The Light illumines but the smallest portion of what lies about the entity. Thus, there is much groping and bruising of the being, it would seem, as the path is sought. Yet the conscious desire to continue this journey tends to rekindle and enable the flame to burn somewhat brighter, that somewhat more of the surroundings might be known. Yet it is the desire to seek the truth that is consciously enhanced that most facilitates this seeking, for within such a dark and dimly lit illusion as that which you now inhabit, the grace of the one Creator which exists in all portions of the illusion is that which carries you beyond all true harm. Your desire to seek that one Creator is that which shall find its goal, for indeed, it contains that which it seeks.

It is not for us to be bold and say to this assemblage that you must do this or do that, but, as we know that you seek, we can only recommend, as we always do, that meditation is the greatest tool which you possess for lifting that stoniness from your countenance and from your inner character. Do you make a fist? Relax your hand. Do you set your face against a wind? Bow to it. Do you attempt to speak? Listen. Do you want to serve? Be silent. For that consciousness which serves will serve through you, not from you, and you cannot be clear while you yourself are very, very sure that you know how to serve.

Hatonn went on to say it is not for us to say to this group that you must do this or do that, but we recommend that meditation is the greatest tool which you possess for lifting that stoniness from your countenance and from your inner character, so: “Do you make a fist? Relax your hand. Do you set your face against a wind? Bow to it. Do you attempt to speak? Listen. Do you want to serve? Be silent.” Hatonn said that consciousness which serves will serve through you, not from you, and you cannot be clear while you are very sure that you know how to serve. On May 27, 1974, Hatonn said that our desire to serve be found in meditation:

There is much to be gained through the process of meditation. This, my friends, is the only important thing that you will do during your incarnation. For all of the fruits of meditation that you receive will be the project of this simple effort. Effort to find how to serve, find technique of serving your fellow beings is simple. It is done in meditation.

We would like to close through the instrument known as [inaudible]. If this instrument would find that acceptable, we shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you in the Love and the Light of the Creator. I could not bring any difficult thoughts to this instrument since she is much too joyful. So, if you will bear with me, we will discuss [inaudible]. Do you glory in the fact that you can see, or are you uncomfortable because of the things you see? There are many unpleasant things, but if you do not look, you do not glory in the fact that you can see, and every beautiful thing you see makes the world more beautiful. Do you glory in the fact that you can hear? Truly, there are harsh sounds, but it is remarkable that you can hear them. Do you have any idea of what stillness sounds like? Even harsh sounds are better than none. Do you glory in the fact that you can taste? Maybe things are not seasoned, but you can taste them. Are you thankful that you can smell? Some things are unpleasant, but they’re better than nothing. Do you make a point of smelling the fresh air, smelling the clean baby, smelling the infinite smells of the [inaudible]? Do you glory in this? Do you glory in the fact that you can feel? Your hands may be rough; they may be calloused; but you can feel. Do you glorify [inaudible] by seeing and feeling beautiful things? Do you glory in the fact that you have feelings and people to love? Do you spend your time loving, or do you do the reverse, do you spend it hating?

The choice is yours. You can make the world beautiful and loving, or you cannot appreciate these things. The Mona Lisa was just a painting until someone said it was beautiful. And every time another person says it is beautiful, it becomes more beautiful. Spend your time going around the world seeing beauty, feeling beauty, touching beauty, smelling beauty, loving. These very acts will change the world. I apologize for the cheerfulness of this instrument, but she has gone through a dark tunnel, and she has seen the Light, and no other thoughts will come to her. I am Hatonn, and I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Latwii. I greet you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great pleasure to speak briefly through this instrument, since we normally cannot use this instrument due to its prohibition against using the question-and-answer format. We could, of course, give the answers and leave off the questions, but this might not serve the interests of the group as well. Or, we could pose the questions, and leave you to answer later. Again, that might not serve the group.

We do wish to express to you our great joy that we are incorporated with you in the great body of creation. Can any consolation be greater than the knowledge that such an infinity called Love lies in the hearts of those friends along the way? We do not think so. We had entered into contact with the one known as A for the questions and answers. However, we were sadly rejected. We shall adapt once again in our most meek guise to contact this extremely helpful instrument. [Inaudible] sharing this instrument [inaudible], there is no need to [inaudible] unless it is freely desired at this particular time. For all questions shall truly be answered. It is only a matter of time. Each of you knows your own questions, but, more than that, my friends, each of you knows your own answers. We merely facilitate the process from time to time and, in other cases, we fear, sadly confuse you.

What a joy it is to use Carla. We would now leave her in Love and Light in hopes of transferring to the instrument known as A, if this instrument would be willing to accept the contact. I am Latwii.

(A channeling)

I am Latwii, and we are now with this instrument. We greet you all once again, and we come in hopes of answering your queries. So, without further ado, are there any questions?

Questioner: I have a question … Is M with us in spirit tonight?

I am Latwii and am aware of your question. My dear, we would just like to say that, indeed, the one known as M is with you all always, and the thought is all that is needed to send your Love to him also, for indeed his Love can be felt here.

May we answer you further?

Questioner: No, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another question we might answer at this time?

Carla: We’re practicing a piece called Magnificat, which is what Mary, mother of Christ, was supposed to have said when the angel gave her the bad news, or good news, whatever, about being pregnant, and I had pondered to myself without coming to a conclusion whether or not the historical Mary, mother of the historical person Jesus, was called upon when so many people concentrated upon words like this and also the Ave Maria in other prayers to that saint, or whether those prayers were given over to a, shall we say, an angelic presence that took on the vibration of her function in life.

I am Latwii, and, my sister, we are aware of your query. To answer this, we would have to say that, indeed, when the call is made, or when the prayers and the words you have mentioned are spoken, this, indeed, is heard by the original one you know as Mary. For this was the desire and therefore other [inaudible] you call angelic souls do not, we correct this instrument. The other souls have not been requested to answer the calling.

May we answer you further?

Carla: Yes. When I think about either Mary, or Jesus, or any of those figures so centrally in that great story, I think about the intensity or the degree of prayer that is offered up. And I wonder whether or not if these incarnated entities are those ones, those single entities to whom these prayers are offered, whether or not they might be in some way parts of the kind of the social memory complex that [inaudible] are, for instance so that the entire social memory complex could have that vibration of Mary, for instance. This may run really close to the Law of Confusion, so I understand if you can’t answer that.

I am Latwii, and, my sister, we would like to say that, in some respects, it might be difficult to comprehend the meaning of one soul listening to the calls and prayers, for it might seem overwhelming, but it is less overwhelming to think that one group which acts as one would have or would be less overwhelmed. Therefore, we shall allow you to decide if the one of Mary is the same or different than the one of a group and the possibilities of … if the one of Mary is a single or a single group.

May we answer you further?

Carla: No, I think I have it sorted out, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you. Is there another question at this

…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(A channeling)

…and the small task that Mary accomplished would seem so simple in some respects; yet, by some very, very difficult … yet, the outcome was one such that there was an inspiration, or there was an individual that could be pondered, and, during the glorification, there was and there still is this pondering which is the seeking.

My sister, may we answer you further on this [inaudible]?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, once again. Is there another query that we may answer?

[No further queries.]

I am Latwii, and we shall now be leaving this group once again. It, indeed, has been a pleasure to be with you and to share our thoughts with you. We shall be always near, and a call is all that is needed. Adonai, my friends. We are known to you as Latwii.

This morning I vacuumed the first floor of my home, and while I was vacuuming I put Mystical Joy upstairs in the Fountain Room because she is a small kitten, and I don’t want to scare her with the loud noise that my vacuum cleaner makes.

This afternoon the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “As we advance in this work, if we permit ourselves to be deprived of our periods of contemplation, by the pressure of business or the demands of increasing responsibility, we shall miss the way. Once the Christ-center has been touched, it is possible that outer activities may increase to such an extent that they encroach upon the time which should be devoted to meditation. Too great an indulgence in the things of this world might soon take from us the spiritual gift which is infinitely more valuable than any material thing we may sacrifice. The Master withdrew from the multitudes to commune alone in the wilderness and on the mountaintop. We too must withdraw from our families, our friends, and our human obligations for those periods of communion necessary to our inner development and unfoldment. An hour or two of meditation or communion, with no purpose or desire of any kind, brings the experience of God to us in an ever-deepening measure.

Frequently the question of diet in relation to meditation is raised. Is there any special diet which, if followed, will enhance one’s spiritual capacity? Are certain foods to be avoided by the aspirant on the spiritual path? Should one refrain from the eating of meat?

At every stage of our unfoldment, we are tempted to believe that something we do or think in the human realm will help us in the development of our spiritual awareness. This is a false assumption. On the contrary, it is the development of our spiritual awareness that changes our everyday habits and mode of living. As the aspirant progresses along the spiritual path, they may find that eating less and less meat and, ultimately, may reach the point of being unable to eat meat at all. Let us not, however, believe that there is virtue in some act of omission or commission, that some form of material sacrifice will increase our spirituality. Spirituality is developed through the reading of spiritual literature, the hearing of spiritual wisdom, the association with those on the spiritual path, and through the practice of meditation. The kingdom of God is found by inner realization. The outer transformation in one’s dietary habits is a direct result of an inner spiritual grace. It is a result of the spiritualizing process taking place in consciousness. Abstaining from eating meat is not a means of developing inner spiritual grace but the development of inner spiritual grace leads to the renunciation of such things on the outer plane.”

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

January 30

The Presence Of Heaven

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

Where is the keeper of the keys to your idea of heaven? Indeed, what is your idea of heaven? Within the infinity behind the closed eyes, consider this: how far lies heaven or how near? What holy ground is nearest to your own situation?

The Spirit of Love is that which is the essence of heaven, and that heaven is available within each spirit that abides in faith.

Pause within this moment to feel the great galaxies of inner space that lie within the silence behind closed eyes. Sense the divinity of this space. Sense that floor of heaven out of which each entity and all of its experiences grow.

Yes, my friend, your roots are in heaven. That is your native land, and you carry it with you, within yourself. It is not to be put off so that you may suffer now. Allow your suffering to lift long enough to sense the blessed presence of Love within. This presence is that which you call heaven, whatever its manifestation.

Do not submit to misery when there is, to the faithful seeker, the certainty of heaven. Allow the heaven within to speak to the misery within. Allow the eyes of that consciousness to find for you the peace within suffering, the options not noticed before that may alleviate this suffering and above all the greater point of view which glories in the challenges of lessons learned and heaven recognized within.

We leave you in love and 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 and Latwii channelings for this session come from November 28, 1982:

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. There’s a very calm presence tonight, an aura of peace is with you. Peace is stemmed from [inaudible] of the Love and the Light that is you and surrounds you. Peace stills your mind as you sit in meditation and open yourself to the Love and Light. A new world of peace comes in new ways. This gives many of the people of your planet … Many search and try to find physical signs [inaudible] but find them not, for they have not taken the time to go within and look and see that peace is not an external thing; it comes from within. As you look around, and as you become aware, you will see and feel the struggles [inaudible]. Learn from them. As you meditate tonight, [inaudible].

I am Hatonn. We will now transfer this contact to another instrument.

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you again, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. My friends, it is often hard to understand how one might attain that which we call peace, for in many of the situations that you experience it seems [inaudible]. Indeed, there are times in your lives when that which you know as peace seems even inappropriate for the situation within which one finds oneself. For, as you well know, there are many situations in which your expected behavior patterns do not include a display of peaceful acceptance as an option.

My friends, we understand that in your illusion there are times when such a display of calm, relaxed acceptance might be offensive to those other selves in your presence who have expectations of you. My friends, it is not the display that is significant but rather the inner awareness that one chooses to accept and make a part of oneself. It is not necessary, my friends, in feeling peace to make your acceptance of that state obvious to those around you. For consideration of one’s other selves is important. Yet, my friends, do not let this requirement for reticence prevent you from accepting within your soul the calmness, the tranquility for which you strive.

By accepting this vibration, my friends, without displaying its manifestations, you may find yourself availed of the opportunity to be of service to your brothers and sisters, for you will be capable of extending that vibration to the participants in your small drama while not distracting or fighting them with a more obvious denotation by your facial expression or verbal expression. It is sufficient in the situation to consciously elect to accept peace within yourself, and in accepting that vibration for yourself, the same vibration is made more available to those nearby you who are able, either consciously or subconsciously, to detect the comfort of that vibration. We will now transfer our contact to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument and greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. If only you would see the peace which you can allow to fly, and bloom, and radiate. There could be a whole room of individuals, each radiating their own peace. But, if one person leaves their own space and tries to control another either by undue praise, by criticism, by judgment, by turning the other person from his designated path, peace is no longer in the room. Respect inner peace in each person. Give them understanding to allow them to [inaudible]. Love is allowing the other person to be themselves. [Inaudible] self in some people. You are inhuman, but they are inhuman, and, when you improve on their destiny, you’re creating chaos. If you want to have peace, let other individuals find their way. If you are in it, [inaudible]. If you are not in it, they would be more [inaudible], you will find peace, and they will find peace.

I am Hatonn, and I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you once again in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator and shall continue [inaudible]. When one speaks or thinks of peace in connection with what you call relationships, there is a temptation to think about that peace which is the absence of strife. This definition of peace, negative though it is, has sufficed for your people and what you call your nations for many generations. And yet, when we speak of peace, we do not speak of the absence of anything but the presence of something that is very much alive. This instrument has had occasion within this past week to contemplate the structure of the ring, the circle that so often is given [inaudible] one to another as a symbol of a relationship. The symbol itself is that of endlessness or eternity [inaudible] having no end will continue [inaudible]. But the two rings are not the same diameter. They are made for different hands, and they will not roll side-by-side at the same speed naturally.

No, this symbol is a symbol of our inner covenant, an inner relationship, something which is all that is counter to the relationship is only symptomatic. Consider a living relationship between any two entities; there are two eternal beings, separated and joined by the Creator. The relationship is the Creator’s. Each of you within this circle live in an environment called the creation. That is all that there is. You will not ever be [inaudible]. You will have change in perceptions from reincarnation to reincarnation and from density to density, but you will always be in and of the creation. You are a completely integral part of all that there is. You are the completion of all that there is, and so is each other entity with whom you come in contact. Therefore, the ring, that great symbol which touches your people’s hearts may be seen far more nearly to be a spiral. For those whom you contact in Love reflect back to you Love a hundredfold, and you learn, in disappointment and in joy, by all reflections as you move every onward in an endless relationship.

In this session Hatonn spoke about peace and our relationship with each other and with the Creator. They began by saying when one speaks or thinks of peace in connection with relationships, there is a temptation to think about that peace which is the absence of strife, and this definition of peace, negative though it is, has sufficed for your people and your nations for many generations, and when we speak of peace, we do not speak of the absence of anything but the presence of something that is very alive, for Carla has had occasions this past week to contemplate the structure of the ring, the circle that so often is given from one to another as a symbol of a relationship, so the symbol is that of eternity having no end and will continue infinitely, but the two rings are not the same diameter because they are made for different hands, and they will not roll side-by-side at the same speed. Then Hatonn said this symbol is a symbol of our inner covenant and an inner relationship, so consider a living relationship between any two entities who are two eternal beings, separated and joined by the Creator, yet the relationship is the Creator’s, for each of you within this circle live in an environment of the creation, and that is all that there is, so you will change in perceptions from reincarnation to reincarnation and from density to density, but you will always be in and of the creation, for you are the completion of all that there is, and so is each other entity with whom you come in contact, for the ring, that great symbol which touches your people’s hearts, may be seen far more nearly to be a spiral, so those whom you contact in Love reflect back to you Love a hundredfold, and you learn, in disappointment and in joy, by all reflections as you move onward in an endless relationship. On November 28, 1976, Hatonn spoke of peace within our relationships:

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

It may seem to be a relationship with [inaudible], with a friend, with a stranger, or that strangest of all concepts, [inaudible]. But we say to you that it is a relationship with the Creator. It was written that the one known as Jesus said, “My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives do I give unto you. My peace is not understood.” As you gaze about you, you will find a considerable amount of the absence of strife. You will find those who have accepted the cooperative silence of the [inaudible]. We ask you to look further; we ask you to begin with yourself; we ask you to encounter a storm so great and so powerful that it changes that personality that is capable of indifference. We ask you to encounter your own caring self, that first great ring of eternity, for only in full conscience of your self can you become aware of the course of relationships with others. And when that storm has left you, you will find effective peace, a means of perception which includes both discrimination and sympathy.

Above all, my friends, be aware that that which joins each spiraling life path is the Creator. You may feel separated; you may feel that there is the possibility of union through finding special entities; you may dream of the drama of what this instrument would call star-crossed love that each relationship is both separated and connected by the Creator. You are all one, and all that you need will come to you. For in the spiral of your being is all that there is. As always, we ask firstly that you [inaudible], secondly, that you choose wisely those words of ours that you find helpful and discard the remainder, for we are your very fallible brothers and sisters and have little more knowledge than you. What we do have is a clearer understanding of love. We would at this time close through [inaudible].

Then Hatonn said it may seem to be a relationship with a friend or with a stranger, but we say to you that it is a relationship with the Creator, for it was written that Jesus said, “My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives do I give unto you. My peace is not understood,” and as you gaze about you, you will find the absence of strife, and you will find those who have accepted the cooperative silence of the  relationships, so we ask you to look further; we ask you to begin with yourself; we ask you to encounter a storm so great and so powerful that it changes that personality that is capable of indifference, and we ask you to encounter your own caring self, that first great ring of eternity, for only in full conscience of your self can you become aware of the course of relationships with others, and when that storm has left you, you will find effective peace, a means of perception which includes both discrimination and sympathy. Hatonn continued by saying be aware of that which joins each spiraling life path is the Creator, but you may feel separated, or you may feel that there is the possibility of union through finding special entities, or you may dream of the drama of what Carla would call star-crossed Love that each relationship is both separated and connected by the Creator since you are all one, and all that you need will come to you, for in the spiral of your being is all that there is, so we ask that you choose wisely those words of ours that you find helpful and discard the remainder, for we are your fallible brothers and sisters and have little more knowledge than you, but what we do have is a clearer understanding of Love. On February 15, 1976, Hatonn spoke of how anyone can gain and understanding of Love:

It is never easy to know how to be of service to those about you. And yet, it is all-important to be of service. For there are many, many who are waking from their sleep, and now know that there is something that they need to receive. And they are seeking. We say to you: be very, very careful to listen with utmost clarity to what people ask of you, and answer according to their needs. We ask that you familiarize yourself, not only with the paths that are pleasant and amenable to you, but also with those paths which may not satisfy you, but which seem to be leading towards the one goal, which is the understanding of Love. There are many such paths, and each one has been made by those for whom it is the very best path. Rather than attempting to coerce anybody to follow the “best” path, encourage each person to follow any path.

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and we will say one final word about peace. My friends, the word, peace, or the concept of peace may be compared to the anchor that holds the ship as the waves beat against it, or the concept of peace may be compared to the eye of the storm. In your illusion, there are plenty of storms, but the eye is always calm at the center of the storm. And, without the anchor, the ship would be utterly helpless as it tries to make the landing. And, my friends, this kind of peace can be shared, and this kind of peace is [inaudible] to [inaudible]. And it is well to remember, again, the words of Jesus, when he said, “My peace I give unto you.” Therefore, it is worth seeking this kind of peace, not only for the individual who seeks it, but for every other individual.

Again, may we say it has been a joy to be with this group tonight, and we leave you now rejoicing in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. [Inaudible] peace is Love. [Inaudible], give Love to someone. It is the fertilizer of the soul. Love requires nothing in return; it is a free gift; it does not control another person and does not have to be returned with interest. At any time, you give this Love to another human being, you have reached the greatest form of peace. Not only is it peace for your soul, but you bring peace to other selves. If you can say that you gave Love to another self, you will find [inaudible]. It might be a good idea before you rest at night to think about how much Love you’re getting. And, if you did not see another human being, did you think good thoughts about other people. This too will bring you together. Love, undemanding, is the highest form of peace. I am Hatonn, and I leave this instrument.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are most pleased to be able once again to speak to this group. We hope that we shall be able to provide answers to those queries which have meaning to you. We remind each present that our efforts [inaudible] of this nature are as fallible as our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, and we offer our words that perhaps another aspect of your concerns might be uncovered so that you yourselves might find the answers which you seek. May we at this time, therefore, ask if there is a query with which we might begin?

Questioner: Yes, Latwii. Why does your presence cause such an uplifting experience?

I am Latwii …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am again with this instrument. To continue, you have experienced a contact which corresponds to the energy center which you know as the heart chakra. The vibration of Love is the vibration of our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, and therefore, when we follow those of Hatonn, you may experience a resonating harmony between the two energy centers which you may then interpret in any number of ways, the term, uplifting, being such a description.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Questioner: No, I just wanted to let you know it’s wonderful. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We are pleased that our presence is pleasing. May we ask if there is another question at this time?

Questioner: Yes, right along that line. I have one chair that I sit in for my meditation, the same place all the time, and when I sit in that chair to dress, I feel nothing, but, when I sit in that chair to meditate, there’s something happening. Would you comment on that?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The chair used for meditation builds an energy which surrounds it. The vibration of this energy corresponds to your desire to seek the truth. When you use this chair for meditation, you open a door, shall we say, within your being that allows this energy to be tapped, and for you to become aware of its presence. This is energy which you have built yourself which you yourself then call upon and experience. When you use this chair for another purpose, you may consider the door to that energy closed. For then you seek it not. It is often helpful to reserve such locations or implements used in meditation for meditation alone in order that the energy which you store in that location might not be mixed with vibrations of a lesser nature.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you. That helped. One other question. I have a friend who lives on the same floor of the condo where I do, and she is suicidal. This is about the third bout she’s had of depression. She tells me that she does not want any help, and yet I feel that she’s reaching out to me, and I have to confess I have some mixed feelings about whether I should do anything, or … I’m not sure. Would you comment on that?

I am Latwii. My sister, to serve another is most difficult. For to serve most perfectly is to provide the service for which the other seeks without infringing upon that entity’s free will. Often among your people entities do not know what they wish without great searching within. Many worries may be spoken as to this or that desire. Oftentimes, the desires conflict so that another hearing the speaking may find confusion and not know the heart of the other’s desires. This confusion is of the mind. Seek ye then to be of service by knowing your heart. In your meditation, open your being to the desire to serve the one Creator however the opportunity may arise. In this state of openness, then ask within if you may serve another. Await the response. If the response is yes, ask how. Again, await the response. At the depths of your being, you are one with those whom you seek to serve. When you query in this manner, you touch that point of unity and might then find more clearly the path opened before you of service to the other.

May we answer further, my sister?

Questioner: No, thanks. That helped.

I am Latwii. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: [Inaudible]

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find some difficulty in responding in full to this query, for the affliction of the throat region and the chest region of the one known as L is symbolic and has as source a catalyst which seeks efficient use. And the communication of one being is most necessary for entities upon your planet at this time. For to share the heart of being is to share Love. At these gatherings, the focus is refined so that the manifestations which accompany this desire of each entity are also intensified for each, each in a unique manner.

May we be of further service, my sister?

Carla: Yes, first I grasp that there is much unsaid which falls in the “out-of-bounds” realm. Second, I believe I heard in there that there’s a possibility that that was part but not all of the problem, that part of the problem if he’s allergic to cats by any chance, should I be doing something like putting the cats in another room that I’m not doing?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We find no such difficulty with the one known as [inaudible]. May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No, thanks.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister, for your concern. Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: Hatonn, can you feel the peace within everyone in this room to the point where it overflows into Love?

I am Latwii and can even feel the Love within the ones known as Hatonn. Although we are of one being, we have different sound vibrations. To answer your query, we may say that the Love within all creation is available to each entity whose sense of seeking Love has been opened wide by the desire to know Love. Therefore, it is our joy to know the Love within this group, upon this planet, and throughout the universe of this octave of beingness.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: I have one more question. We have some people leaving this group who are very much a part of this group. Is there any way on Sunday night that we can [inaudible] how much we feel for them to the area in which they will be?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The ways in which this might be done are numerous. You could [inaudible] at a certain time, complete a ritual of your own description which would personify and send on its way the Love which each feels for those who shall soon be departing this group. You may also at any time in your meditative state dive deep to the heart of your being which is the heart of their being as well and reach in Love and know that there it is felt for them as well.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Questioner: Yes, could we set a time? I know there is a [inaudible] difference in time where they’re going to be, but could we set a time for a few minutes so that they know that we’re going to send them Love at that particular time. Would that be helpful?

I am Latwii. This would be most helpful, indeed. May we answer you further?

Questioner: No, thank you. That was very helpful.

I am Latwii. We are pleased to be of service. Is there another query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Latwii. We find that we have exhausted the queries for the evening. The pleasure which we take in this endeavor is of great dimension. We thank each present for offering this service to us that we might more fully appreciate the endless Love within each and within the one Creator. We find each opportunity to join this group a treasure, and we cherish each opportunity. Remember, my friends, a simple request for our presence is all that is necessary in your meditations, and we shall join you to aid in the deepening that each might find the peace that is the foundation of each being and the peace which binds all into one great being. We are known to you as Latwii. We leave you now, my friends, rejoicing in Love and Light and in the great peace of the one glorious infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Meditation is a conscious experience. As suggested earlier, it is a great help to begin meditation with some question, thought, or specific idea of receiving an unfoldment from God. If we realize that meditation is a conscious activity of our Soul, there will be no danger of our falling asleep or becoming drowsy. Two or three minutes of meditation should be enough to drive away the weariness one sometimes feels at the end of a strenuous day’s work. We cannot go to sleep with a mind open, waiting for instructions. Those who fall asleep during meditation fail to make it a conscious experience. At a certain stage of meditation, sleep may come, but such sleep is not a lapsing into unconsciousness. The activity of consciousness would continue during sleep. Meditation is not just a lazy sitting back and saying, ‘All right, God, you go ahead.’ It is a quickening alertness, and yet it is ‘peace that passeth understanding.’

Let us be sure there is that peace. We must make certain that there is no strain in connection with meditation. We are not going to take the kingdom of God by force, by mental, or physical power. When meditation begins to be an effort, stop it, or we shall defeat our purpose. It is not necessary to meditate for any specific period of time. If the meditation has been of only one minute’s duration, let us be satisfied because if we have been keeping our mind stayed on God for but half a minute, we have started the flow.

Meditation is a difficult art to master. Were it not so difficult the whole world would long ago have mastered its technique. In my own experience, eight months of from five to ten meditations a day were necessary, before I received the very first click or sense of the Presence within—eight months of meditating day and night.”

This afternoon I had a 1 pm appointment with my Primary Care Physician. At her request I brought along my blood pressure monitor and the readings for the last two weeks. She was satisfied that my blood pressure was doing well, and before I left, she asked that I leave a urine sample to see what it might tell her. On my way home I stopped at Feeder’s Supply to buy some cat food and some bird seed. Then I stopped at Kroeger’s to buy some Quiche and Pepsi-Zero.

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

January 29

Praise You Like A River

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

Open your eyes and praise the good and bounteous Creator.

Open your heart and find the cause for praise in all that you see.

Every dead branch that litters the ground is but a symbol of the health of the tree. Thus, those things which seem to be un-praiseworthy are, indeed, cause for thanksgiving.

Just so, your feet are to be praised as they walk upon the road of life. And the road of life is to be praised for holding your being, cradling your consciousness, and opening up eyes that see not only the good in those things beautiful to the eye but the praiseworthy aspects of those things which may seem lesser.

See the pruning of the Father’s universe and praise the good Maker of the peaceful, harmonious, and sacrificial plan of change, development, maturity and illumination.

In the end, as you see with eyes of praise, you shall be transparent, and praise shall flow from you like a river as it flows into you by your prayer.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from November 21, 1982:

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. My friends, it is with great pleasure that we receive your request that our vibration be joined with your own, for, as always, it is our desire to be of service in whatever manner possible. Tonight, we would share with you some thoughts concerning your desires for your brothers and sisters, for those who seek to follow the path of service to others by nature, attempt to envision that which would benefit their other selves. My friends, regard for a moment the possibilities open to those whose lives involve selection. For example, if one desires an object, it is possible that the possession of that object might be beneficial to the individual. It is also possible that the inability to possess that same object might also be of benefit to that individual in that they may learn the lack of value in possessing that which is finite and thus of a very temporary nature. When one regards this situation, one might be reluctant to select a wish, if you will, for this other self, for it is not readily apparent which would benefit the individual more.

Obviously, my brothers and sisters, this is a very simplistic rendition of the situations you encounter daily as your desires for your brothers and sisters are expressed. How then may one possessing the ability to create, to alter the universe within one—correction—within which one exists, best serve in this manner? My friends, might we suggest that rather than expending your energies and confounding yourselves in attempting to decipher the lessons of another, rather we would suggest the expression that the will of the Creator be manifested through the perception by the other self of that selection most effective in continuation of their progress upon their chosen path.

My friends, it is often difficult for those upon your path to desire that opportunities for service to self be manifested for one’s other selves who have selected that path. Yet, my friends, are not both paths to finally achieve the same objective? Therefore, our suggestion would be that one avoid the temptation to define for another self that which one regards as best for that other self, and instead exert one’s energies in the direction of desiring for any other self that which would best assist that other self in the progression along their chosen path.

At this time, it is our desire to transfer our contact to another instrument. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(M1 channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. What you really possess are not the things around you but the things to which you give your attention. If every morning you see a beautiful tree in your neighbor’s yard, and it brightens your breakfast, in a real sense you own it. If the tree in your yard gives you no attention and you pay no attention to it, it really isn’t yours. The same is true of friendship. You may meet a person that you only see a few times, and yet the feeling between you is so intense in depth, and the attention which you give to each other is so bright that if that person should leave the Earth, even though you had seen her only a few times, you would feel a real loss. It is important to give attention to things rather than go blindly through life. Somehow a man’s first house, which he lovingly put together and saved his money to buy the furniture, remains with him forever, and if he becomes a rich man and has many houses and could not describe the rooms in the houses, or what is on the table, or what is on the shelf, they don’t really belong to him.

If you really want to acquire possessions, notice things. You had a poet who talked about daffodils, and when the season was gone, he still possessed them. Do not go blindly through life not noticing things. The only things you really own are the things to which you give your attention either lovingly or with hate. If you dislike something intensely, you own it. If you love it intensely you own it. But if you can’t remember it, even though in your world you possess it, it does not belong to you. Do not go blindly through life. Be aware of people. Be aware of things. Live intensely. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and again I greet you in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We may rename this instrument, “Wait-A-While,” for every time we contact her when the newer channels are present she says, “Wait a while.” But we say to you, my sister, we must exercise you as well. There are varying degrees of newness, but there is no oldness. We shall continue through this instrument.

And so, as you strive for excellence in being, my friend, as you strive to serve others, to serve the Creator, you come up against a formidable difficulty and that, my brothers and sisters, is your own sensibility. You know what you would do to be kind, and good, and helpful. But there are many cases in which, not having expected telepathy between yourselves, you do not know what will truly be kind, good, or helpful for one to whom you wish only good. And in many cases that other self will not be able to tell you what he or she may need. For your density is a complex one, and if you are dealing with it in all of its illusory splendor, your feelings grow complex and difficult to discern amidst the grit and grime that gets into the machinery of complexity.

There is, however, one way which cannot fail to aid an other self, and we present it to you in all of its stark simplicity, knowing that it is the simple things that are the hardest to grasp and attain. If you can be who you are clearly and lucidly, with each petal of your own bloom open to the world, you are then by your presence manifesting your totally unique and utterly personal Love. Who you are may be cranky, judgmental, difficult, or angry, but if that is who you are, and if that is what you show, then you are living, and as you open those angers, those uncomfortable configurations of mind and emotions are flicked away by the clean waters of experience. Very few people, my friends, feel free to be, and yet only out of that being, that which you see as imperfect and possibly implausible to love, can come the spontaneity in which you catch a moment for love as a dewdrop catches the sun.

In this session Hatonn wanted to talk about how we can be of service to others. They began by saying as you strive for excellence in being, and as you strive to serve others, to serve the Creator, you come up against difficulty, and that is your sensibility, so you know what you would do to be kind and helpful, but there are many cases in which, not having expected telepathy between yourselves, you do not know what will be kind or helpful for one to whom you wish only good, but in many cases that other self will not be able to tell you what he or she may need, for your density is a complex one, and if you are dealing with it in all of its illusory splendor, your feelings grow difficult to discern amidst the grit and grime that gets into the machinery of complexity. Hatonn went on to say there is one way which cannot fail to aid an other self, and we present it to you in all of its simplicity, knowing that it is the simple things that are the hardest to attain, and if you can be who you are clearly, with each petal of your own bloom open to the world, then your presence is manifesting your unique and personal Love, so who you are may be judgmental or difficult, but if that is who you are, and if that is what you show, then you are living, and as you open those angers, those uncomfortable configurations of mind and emotions are flicked away by the clean waters of experience, but few people feel free to be, yet only out of that being which you see as imperfect and unlikely to Love, can come the spontaneity in which you catch a moment for Love as a dewdrop catches the sun. On February 26, 1989, Latwii spoke of the value for us to feel free:

We are most happy to be able to work through this instrument, for this instrument has the inner characteristics which make it possible for us to more easily express ourselves humorously, and we always appreciate the ability to express our opinions upon the most serious of subjects with a light touch, for there is great frustration in seeking the truth within an illusion as complete as your own. No word and no concept of which we now know can encompass the great mystery of the infinite Creator. In the face of such a complete unknowing, it is well to have a sense of humor, to feel free to be merry in one’s search, for long faces are not good environments for the rapid growth of spirit. And as each within your often painful illusion must wear the long face from time to time, we hope to encourage in one’s spiritual seeking that most blessed quality of joy.

Yes, my friends, it is very difficult to do anything for another and do it in total harmony with the desires of another. But can you give yourself to the world about you? If you can, my friends, the Creator’s manifestation shall never be more nearly perfect in your illusion than at that very moment. Much has been written in your holy works about trust. Trust in the Creator. Abide in the Creator. Shelter yourself under the Creator’s wings. But Who is the Creator, and how far away are those beings? We say to you, my friends, you dwell in the tabernacle. Your feet are upon holy ground. The Creator is with you at this moment without reservation, without holding back. The Creator is not only among you, It is you. This infinite invisible presence of Love is you. We dwell with you. The creation dwells with you. And to come to a more everyday ethic, your other selves dwell with you in that tabernacle, and only you can open the gates that let them in.

Why is it that some seem to offer a blessing? Is it not, my friends, because they have opened to you that which is their own self? Thus, begin always by loving the Creator that is you. And then go forward proudly, and Love what you are manifesting this very day, this very moment. Whatever you consider imperfect of God, take time to love it. Good or bad, however you judge, remember to put aside and Love, and open and again until the universe is beloved within you. And the next time that you attempt to say the right thing, to make the right gesture, to give the right gift, to show the right consideration, and fall completely flat upon your nose, arise from this in the knowledge that you have done something, and what you have done has not had the outcome you thought would be helpful. But how do you know how your being affects those whose lives you touch, touch now and will touch? This, my friends, shall always in your illusion be a mystery.

Hatonn went on to say it is difficult to do anything for another and do it in total harmony with the desires of another, but if you can give yourself to the world about you, the Creator’s manifestation shall never be more perfect in your illusion than at that very moment, and much has been written in the Bible about trust in the Creator, so abide in the Creator, and shelter yourself under the Creator’s wings, but we say to you that you dwell in the tabernacle, and your feet are upon holy ground, for the Creator is with you at this moment without holding back, but the Creator is not only among you, It is you, for this infinite invisible presence of Love is you, so we dwell with you, and the creation dwells with you, so to come to a more everyday ethic your other selves dwell with you in that tabernacle, and only you can open the gates that let them in. Now Hatonn said: “Why is it that some seem to offer a blessing? Is it not, my friends, because they have opened to you that which is their own self?” So Hatonn said begin always by loving the Creator that is you, and then go forward, and Love what you are manifesting this very moment, and whatever you consider imperfect of God, take time to Love it, and however you judge it good or bad, remember to put it aside and Love until the universe is beloved within you, and the next time that you attempt to say the right thing, to show the right consideration, and fall completely flat upon your nose, arise from this in the knowledge that you have done something, and what you have done has not had the outcome you thought would be helpful, but how do you know how your being affects those whose lives you touch and will touch? Now Hatonn said this shall always illusion be a mystery. On March 27, 1988, Q’uo spoke of the value of mystery being a part of our spiritual journey:

I am Q’uo, and we scan your recent memory and find that this query is one which is most important in your own journey at this time, and one which continues to hold a significant degree of mystery. It is that which we feel most comfortable in allowing to remain as a mystery, for we do not wish to infringe in this case upon your own discernment. The experience of such visions is one which is as the momentary opening of a door into a room which is as yet unexplored, but one which holds a great deal of interest and potential for the expansion of one’s own abilities and desire to seek and to serve. Thus, the momentary opening of the door serves as that which becomes the riddle, and the constant pondering of this particular riddle is that which was desired by that portion of yourself which brought unto you this experience. Thus, does that portion draw your smaller self onward in a manner which insures that the free will to move in this fashion remains intact.

We would close, if we may, through another instrument. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(M1 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Continuing my theme on your attention. Not everyone can be a famous painter as Rembrandt. His attention could concentrate so much that he saw the inner soul of the people, the inner meaning of a tree, or the animal. You may not have the hands to put this intensity on paper, but you can have the eyes of a Rembrandt. When you see a tree do you feel the struggle that made the growth? Do you feel the sun and the light and the stars through which it weathered? When you meet a human being do you see only the surface, or do you look to their soul? When you see a beautiful object, does it have an inner meaning? You may not have the hands of a Rembrandt, but try to cultivate the eyes of a Rembrandt.

I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(M2 channeling)

I am Hatonn. We greet you through this instrument. We were going to close through the one known as K, but find this instrument does not wish to channel at this time. Just a brief word of closing, my friends. It is a great service you offer us by letting us share our humble thoughts with you and share this joyous fellowship with you. For as we share with you the morsels of understanding, we once again have the opportunity to review those concepts and thoughts and learn even as we teach. What a joy to learn, and teach, and share with other selves such as you. Our blessings are with you. We leave you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. Once again it is our honor to be asked to join your group in the capacity of attempting to answer those queries which are upon your minds. May we then begin with the first query?

K: I have a question. It came to mind last week when we were ending the meditation. We always end by sending Light to someone who is either sick or going through some problems, and I noticed what happens then—and what happens often when I’m, say, reading about someone in a newspaper or hearing about it on TV—that I think about what they’re going through and pray for them to have strength, but I also imagine what they’re feeling, and when I do I feel an overwhelming sorrow to the point of tears sometimes, imagining what they are feeling. My question is, am I spending more energy on feeling what they’re going through—is that taking away from the energy that I could be sending to them to give them strength?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Quite the contrary, my sister. The feelings which you feel might be termed the motivating factor which makes the healing vibrations you send such entities most effective, for what you feel is compassion. Compassion, which is felt deeply enough, the tear is an outer manifestation of the great desire and ability to Love which resides within you and every being. And, my sister, what greater healing power than Love?

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

S: Yes. Latwii, can you give me any information on—about the unusual physical sensation I experienced this evening?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find there is some limit to that which we might describe, for we do not wish to infringe upon your free will, but may suggest that in part the sensation which you are experiencing is the re-contact with those entities gathered about you who for, shall we say, a family of seekers—that you have felt the presence of fellow seekers is a manifestation of your own desire to seek, which has blended or harmonized, shall we say, with a kindred vibration of others.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Is there anything that you can tell me about why …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and we are once again with this instrument. Please continue.

Carla: Okay. Is there any comment that you can make about why my singing voice seemed to change quite a bit when I went to sing on my brother’s record album in Washington a couple of weeks ago. I’ve pondered this a bit, and all of the ideas that I first had about getting used to the microphone—it was different than any I’d any used before, and what not—don’t really wash, and I wondered if there was some sort of subliminal guidance involved. I certainly prayed for it, and we consciously all prayed each night as we began our recording.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To begin, may we say that your great desire to be of service in the recording of the music which you and your brother created was the overriding factor which permitted your voice to become a more finely tuned instrument of praise for the one Creator. As you refined this desire each moment by focusing upon each note, powered by the prayer, your voice then became transformed, shall we say. The vibrations of sound which emanated then from your vehicle were stepped up so that the Love and the Light which you desired to share would have clearer access and expression through your voice. We find that this experience was also tinted, shall we say, with an underlying concern which was somewhat deleterious, and at times was responsible for the relapse, shall we say, of the voice into less than desirable patterns. This concern, which was at that time felt has been, as we notice, dealt with in your daily pattern of existence. Therefore, we may speak as we have spoken.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, I guess not, although I haven’t a clue as to what it is I solved in my daily existence that allowed you to speak. I’m glad I did something. Thank you very much. I’m still puzzled, I think. I think I liked my old voice better. I was really disturbed by listening to the changes. Perhaps I’m not the one to judge. Is it possible that the softer voice, more transparent voice, gets across the words better for people to listen to? Is that possible?

I am Latwii. My sister, as we have stated many times …

Carla: Anything is possible.

Latwii: This is correct. May we also suggest that that vibration which emanates from the heart and is felt to the core of the being is the most effective vehicle for transmitting the concepts which you wish to share. It is not just the ear which hears, but also the heart.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Not unless you know how to make me sound more like Carly Simon.

I am Latwii. My sister, our limits are quite evident.

Carla: Right. Me too. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

K: Well, yes. I guess I know the answer, and yet let me ask anyway. I listened to the—I think it was, “Face The Nation,” at twelve o’clock today, and there was a man. I forgot his name right now, but he was the one that helped bring New York out of financial mess five years ago, and the statement went something like this, that the whole world is in a mess, and that if the United States and Europe … Western Europe and Japan, if they cannot cooperate for the good of the world, he sees nothing but ruin ahead of us, and he also said that before this can be done there must be a Congress and an Executive Branch that will be absolutely bipartisan in their decisions, so it really sounded very bad. Would you comment on that?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. If we might borrow the message which our brothers and sisters of Hatonn have shared with your group this evening, it is not easy to determine what is of value and what shall be of service to another. As you look about you, you see the world in which you live transforming itself in ways quite confusing. That there are problems is agreed. The solutions are many and in doubt. What is it that is lacking? Above what level shall entities upon your planet find the Love which they seek, yet which is so little found. Can it be legislated? As you look about you and see pain, sorrow, poverty, suffering, confusion, illness, violence, death intensified beyond all imagination, what then can there be to hope for? Can Love be found in such surroundings? Have your people traveled this path to such an extent that Love is unavailable? Can some elected official change the course, my friends?

Consider that what you seek is a portion of the one original Thought. That Thought is unity. That Thought of the one Creator has allowed each portion of Itself to travel through free will within the creation of the one original Thought. The journey takes many turns. Yet within each moment, Love exists. Within each moment, the Creator resides in full at all times. That this is not recognized does not diminish its truth. Such difficulties provide the stimulus for the inner seeking as the outer world begins to fade, for it becomes apparent to the seeker that Love may best be found within the heart of the being. Love then found there might be radiated, as a beacon shines light in the darkest portion of the night. Sorrow and suffering then motivate those feeling the suffering to seek more and more within, more and more in that portion of your illusion which Love inhabits purely and always readily available.

K asked: “The whole world is in a mess, and that if the United States and Europe … Western Europe and Japan, if they cannot cooperate for the good of the world, he sees nothing but ruin ahead of us, and he also said that before this can be done there must be a Congress and an Executive Branch that will be absolutely bipartisan in their decisions, so it really sounded very bad. Would you comment on that?” Latwii replied by saying it is not easy to determine what is of value and what shall be of service to another, for as you look about you, you see the world in which you live transforming itself in ways confusing, so that there are problems, but the solutions are many and in doubt, and at what level shall entities upon your planet find the Love which they seek, yet which is so little found, and as you look about you and see pain, illness, and violence, so: “What then can there be to hope for? Can Love be found in such surroundings? Have your people traveled this path to such an extent that Love is unavailable? Can some elected official change the course, my friends?” Latwii continued by saying consider that what you seek is a portion of the one original Thought of unity, and that Thought of the one Creator has allowed each portion of Itself to travel through free will within the creation of the one original Thought, and the journey takes many turns, yet within each moment Love exists, and the Creator resides in full at all times, but that this is not recognized does not diminish its truth, for such difficulties provide the stimulus for the inner seeking as the outer world begins to fade, for it becomes apparent to the seeker that Love may be found within the heart of the being, and when Love is found there might be radiated, as a beacon shines light in the darkest portion of the night, so sorrow motivates those feeling the suffering to seek more within that portion of your illusion which Love inhabits purely and always readily available. On March 6, 1983, Latwii explained how our inner seeking may be helpful on our spiritual path:

When an entity has for some time been considering a certain concept, a certain path, and has been attempting to determine how to proceed with the inner seeking, and how to reflect it in the outer expression, there will often be a communication from what you might call inner planes, guides, the higher self, and various other angelic presences that will attempt to signal the conscious mind of the entity, and provide a clue as to the path which would be most efficacious. These signals take many, many forms. Most often noticed among your people is the coincidence of events where within the experience of the entity in the material world there will be manifested a, as you would call it, coincidence, that points the way.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Well, to summarize just a bit, when the distress of the world—and to use his expression—the mess that it’s in really does then cause or bring about greater seeking. In other words, that the mess gets worse, we seek more to find this Love, or we seek more as a result. That’s what I’m asking.

I am Latwii. This is correct, my sister. To use a simple analogy, the students taking a class know there is that which you call the final exam. If the work is done as the course proceeds, the final exam presents but nominal difficulty. If on the other hand, the work is done imperfectly, perhaps ignored, the final exam becomes a challenge, yet each knows there is the exam and shall then make the greater effort to pass it. Each entity upon your planet within the depths of the being knows that the incarnations now enacted are what might be called the last opportunity of this master cycle to pass the exam upon your planet. Therefore, each subconsciously seeks the greatest means of making available those lessons whose learning shall allow the passing. The lessons may be many. The catalyst may be great. Yet the opportunities also are infinite, and each seeks the one Creator within the being as the catalyst grows more and more intense.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I guess not, except I guess then we should rejoice and weep at the same time. Is that about where we are?

I am Latwii. My sister, in truth there is only joy, for the Creator within each always rejoices at the experience each brings to each and to the Creator. Each is a treasure. Rejoice then in your being.

May we answer you further?

K: No, thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

S: Yes, Latwii. Along the same lines, can imagery aid our people and our planet in any way?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. For those with the desire to be of service in this manner, the sending of Love and Light, whether by prayer, or imagery, or ritual, is most effective, for as you are in truth one being, as any portion of that being bids Love and Light to another portion, it bids it to itself, and as it is bid so it is felt, and so its work is done.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: There is a person that is not ill in a life-threatening sense, but has a very critical injury which will affect his future, and I asked Nona, and I called for Nona all through the—when I wasn’t actually channeling I was asking for her to come, but there is no Nona around. Why?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, may we borrow from the message of the brothers and sisters of Hatonn. It is most difficult, my sister to know how to serve another well. What may seem to one to be a great difficulty in need of removal may in truth be to the one suffering such difficulty the appropriate means of learning a certain lesson or of experiencing a certain event that will in turn lead to the learning that is desired. Upon the deeper levels of the being, the entity itself may consciously wish that every waking moment to be rid of the difficulty yet be unaware of its deeper significance which serves it far better than the removal would serve it. Therefore, the entities which serve as guardians to such an entity protect in a certain manner the learning for that entity, and this protection may include the healing of the distortion or the continuation of the distortion so that the wishes of the entity upon its deepest level of being might be respected.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: So when Nona comes, it’s because the person for whom help is desired also, in free will, would accept help. Is this correct? In other words, I was coming up against the Law of Free Will.

I am Latwii. This is correct, my sister. May we answer you further?

Carla: Is it beyond the bounds of free will to send light to the person?

I am Latwii. To send the Love and the Light is that which may always be done without the infringement upon free will, for each entity has the free will as to how or whether to use such love and light.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: That’s a very clear answer. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

R: Yes. The more exposure I get to the new age, the more it’s turning into a kind of a zoo. Levels, and dimensions, and planets, channels, and I’ve lost any attempt to come up with a score card for sorting them all out or trying to reconcile one point or another. At least they don’t seem to be fighting each other like in centuries past, but there still seems to be room for a lot of tolerance of contradictions or limited viewpoints, no matter where they come from, what level who’s revealing, even some of the so-called highest sources that only a decade or two ago we were hearing from about the hierarchy and stuff. Hardly a week passes in my life without some channeler, some source trying to correct some job that some other channel or source seems to have been inadequate on, and I’m just wondering how long we’re going to have to put up with this. Are we ever going to find an age when this kind of work, when there’s a lot of corroboration, and it’s really getting together, or are we going to go through a lot more confusion yet, even in the higher levels?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. Within your illusion it is most important that each entity seek for the truth of its being within the heart of its being. To have information which reveals the truth of the being given from, shall we say, outside of the being’s own seeking is what we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator determine as an infringement of free will, for if entities of other dimensions were able to give information which was without doubt the truth then the people of your planet would not have the impetus to seek from within. If, for example, what you call the UFOs were to land, speak openly to your people so that all could see the great feats and miracles possible in performance by such entities, then undue weight would be given to their words, and inner seeking upon the part of each of your people would suffer.

The confusion that exists upon your planet at this time is most important, for it then requires that each seeker attempt to sort through that confusion, to take that which has value within its seeking in meditation, and to enlarge there upon it using it as a signpost and to discard that information which has no value. In this way, the seeker’s strength of being is exercised, and the seeker grows spiritually. If the seeker did not use the discrimination which confusion necessitates, the seeking would be less effective. The truth exists within each entity no matter what source provides the information. No channeled information can match the truth which lies within each being. Therefore, when we speak to groups such as this one, we always advise each to take whatever we say as our offering of service, yet our opinion only, to take that which has meaning, to discard that which has none, for we are not infallible, and we seek only to serve as what may be called the guide. We cannot give the truth to any. The truth is already within each and awaits the seeking.

R asked: “Hardly a week passes in my life without some channeler, some source trying to correct some job that some other channel or source seems to have been inadequate on, and I’m just wondering how long we’re going to have to put up with this. Are we ever going to find an age when this kind of work, when there’s a lot of corroboration, and it’s really getting together, or are we going to go through a lot more confusion yet, even in the higher levels?” Latwii began by saying within your illusion it is important that each entity seek for the truth of its being within the heart of its being, and to have information which reveals the truth of the being given from outside of the being’s own seeking is what we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator determine as an infringement of free will, for if entities of other dimensions were able to give information which was without doubt the truth, then the people of your planet would not have the impetus to seek from within, so if UFOs were to land, speak openly to your people so that all could see the miracles possible in performance by such entities, then undue weight would be given to their words, and inner seeking upon the part of each of your people would suffer. Latwii went on to say the confusion that exists upon your planet at this time is important, for it requires that each seeker attempt to sort through that confusion, to take that which has value within its seeking in meditation, and to enlarge upon it using it as a signpost and to discard that information which has no value, and in this way, the seeker’s strength of being is exercised, and the seeker grows spiritually, but if the seeker did not use the discrimination which confusion necessitates, the seeking would be less effective, for the truth exists within each entity no matter what source provides the information, and no channeled information can match the truth which lies within each being, so when we speak to groups such as this one, we always advise each to take that which has meaning, to discard that which has none, for we are not infallible, and we seek only to serve as what may be called the guide, but we cannot give the truth to any, for the truth is already within each and awaits the seeking. On March 29, 1987, Q’uo spoke of how they, and other Confederation sources, serve as the guide in their channeled messages to groups:

We find in this particular case, that we were joined by not only those of Latwii, but others as well that have found the honor of serving as the guide, in order that a message of potential importance might be delivered in a fashion which would be most easily understood by those to whom the message was directed. We were glad to have the assistance of these additional entities in transmitting this message, for we are not as able to discern the boundary which delineates free will from the area of one’s experience that might more easily be influenced. Thus, it was helpful, we hope, that the message be delivered in this fashion.

May we answer you further, my brother?

R: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

K: Yes, one brief question. I have in the past had some of my best friends believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible, and our friendship has naturally grown apart even though that’s not the way I want it, but does taking the Bible literally prevent one from seeking and finding out who one really is?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To use an analogy of a simplified nature, might we suggest that each means of seeking and each method utilizing it might be seen as a rung upon a ladder or a step upon a journey. No step prevents the next, yet each step is preceded by another, and shall eventually be followed by another.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. Is there another query at this time?

L: Yes, would you briefly discuss the subject of competition? I’m kind of puzzled by the apparent paradox. The concept of competing against one’s other selves while at the same time doing it as a form of sharing with one’s other selves. Could you speak briefly on that subject?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. As with each activity which is undertaken by the seeker, the motivation for the activity is most important. If one wishes to be of service with another by sharing a game which contains competitive elements of entity against entity, there are then many avenues of expression available. If it is desired in truth that the other self be defeated, then there is the expression of the orange-ray energy center which is, as we have mentioned, but a step upon the path. If others are joined with in the competition so that a unit confronts another unit and the groupings compete for victory, then the yellow ray of the group efforts has been expressed. If any entity within the gaming competition wishes to express its Love for any other entity by simply joining in whatever activity is desired by the other entity, then the green-ray energy center is activated. If the experience can be used to inspire Love or Wisdom within another, then the blue-ray energy center has been utilized. The possibilities of any activity are endless. The desire of those undertaking such activities is most important in determining what expression is experienced.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you. We find at this time there is enough energy within this instrument for one brief query before we leave this group. May we then ask if there is another query?

Questioner: Will it never stop getting worse before it gets better?

I am Latwii. My brother, it is the viewpoint which determines the degree of worse or better. To one, a certain situation may be quite unbearable. To another, the same situation compared to its own may be bliss. Within each situation is Love. Within each is the Creator. To find the Love and the Creator is your honor and your privilege and is a pearl of great price.

May we answer you further?

Questioner: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We are most honored to have been able to blend our vibrations with yours this evening, my brothers and sisters. We thank you for this service, which is a treasure to us and a joy which sings throughout the creation. We remind each that a simple request for our presence in your meditations is all that is necessary for our joining you there at the throne of the infinite Creator. We leave you now, rejoicing in Love and in Light. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I took my new kitten, Mystical Joy, to the vet at 10 am so that my vet could see if all of the medications that were used to treat her infection in her left eye had cured the infection. As she looked at the medications that had been given Mystical Joy before I adopted her, she discovered that she didn’t have to give her any injections. When she weighed Mystical Joy she said that she weighed 3.5 lbs.

At 1 pm this afternoon I was honored to co-host the European Law of One Study Group. I read each question and answer from Session #58 of the Ra Contact, and the Ishared what I thought that Ra was speaking about when they replied to Dons’ questions, and occasionally I gave some background information about Don, Carla, or me. Some of the questions that I was asked were: Why was Don so interested in pyramids? How to use the crystal in healing? The value of meditation. How acupuncture points could be determined?

This afternoon the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “God works as bridge builders, coal miners, teachers, salesmen, lawyers, artists, ministers, and it is God the Infinite Intelligence, at the center of our being which determines our special form of expression. To know what Its destiny is for us we must touch this center within us in meditation.

The degree of fulfillment experienced is in proportion to the degree of consciousness unfolding. Wherever we are at this moment in life represents the degree of God-life unfolded in conscious expression, and we can change that expression by opening our consciousness for a greater flow. Those who open themselves to God through meditation are at one with the Infinite Invisible. God uses the mind, soul, and body as instruments for Its activity and unfoldment, and the grace of God flowing through them is a benediction to the world:

“My grace is sufficient for thee.” Thy grace is not only my sufficiency, but Thy grace is the sufficiency of all those who come within range of my thought. Father, I am an instrument through which this invisible blessing may appear in the world for those who seek Thee. The kingdom of God is within me, the kingdom of righteousness; it is Thy kingdom and Thy power and Thy grace. Thy grace is a blessing and a benediction to all who are in the world. It is my joy that this blessing, this benediction of God, this grace of God, shall flow equally to friend or foe, near or far, that it shall flow to those of any nationality, race, or faith who lift their hearts to God. It is my joy that all those who honestly lift their thought or voice to God shall find their benediction and blessing through Thy grace which flows through me.”

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

January 28

The Winter Of Your Soul

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

How easy it is in the wintertime to abandon the natural world as a source of inspiration, understanding, and joy. For your feet touch not the holy ground but, rather, the manmade floors of inner rooms. Your faces feel not the keen sting of cold winds except as you hurry from enclosure to enclosure. And you can hear not, through the thick windows that guard your heat, the many sounds of living creatures rejoicing in their lives.

So, it is in the wintertime that man does not emulate the tree which puts its roots down into the cold and frozen ground, trusting in the deeper waters of food, nourishment, and nurture. For it does not seem that the Creator could possibly intend this season to be blessed.

Yet you, yourselves, are like a tree, and we urge you this day to plant your winter feet upon the frozen ground, trusting as you do so that the living energy of holy ground may, through contact, become yours, that you may have the sense of the dark and secret roots of winter trees gathering, in quietness, all those nutrients in preparation for the time when the soil shall be soft and the wind and sun gentle.

In winter you are a winter flower. Do not cut yourself off from the creation, but rejoice with all that you are in the blessedness and sanctity of every portion of your environment, for you shall find strength from the knowledge that you cannot walk except in goodness and Light.

May you have faith in the winter of your soul that all is well, that roots are moving down, collecting nourishment and preparing in timeless, steady fashion for the blooming of joy and beauty that shall come through you in the next springtime of your life cycle.

We wish you merriment and the thawing of the frozen heart, both this day and forever. Peace to you. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from November 14, 1982:

(C1 channeling)

We are now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Tonight, I would like to say something about the little things that people could do. One of your holy leaders said, “Sell your goods and give it to the poor.” But there are so many little things that people could do—a smile, a handshake, a compliment, picking someone up in your car and taking them somewhere, giving your clothes or material things to someone who needs them. If every person would do the little things, it’s amazing how much better the giver and receiver would feel. You really don’t have to sell everything and give it to the poor to do a great deal of good. Have you ever thought how many times you saw something nice and didn’t say it? Or someone you love and didn’t tell them? Many times, the big things will take care of themselves. Sometimes the little things have more meaning for the person who receives them. A compliment at the right time could save a life if the person was severely depressed and felt worthless. Try to make a point of giving the little things. In proportion they will do more good than a few big gifts.

I am Hatonn, and I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I also greet you through this instrument in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We shall continue speaking through this instrument, and we shall speak to two subjects. Firstly, the one which is called by some this evening and secondly quite a different one which is called specifically by the one known as M, and the one known as C2, and the one known as A. In fact, to this subject perhaps we shall speak first in order that we may remove from this evening all traces of that which in itself may color the contact by the pale shade of fear. We are aware that due to an unusual instance within this group in which the one known as C2 inadvertently brought very close to trance a channel of less than purely Confederation association, the concern of the group has been that the message be true. We have spoken upon this subject several times in the past, and not only we, but perhaps more helpfully those of Latwii. We shall be eager to continue speaking upon this subject until all doubts and fears are put to rest. That which is most central to confidence about positivity of the contact is the proper unification and tuning of the group. This group seeks to know the truth, seeks inspiration, and seeks to serve others. There is in each a spirit of what many would call Christ Consciousness, a desire to know the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator.

There is at this time very little desire within this present gathering to know specific events of the future, for to request specific information which would interfere with the free will which is yours. Therefore, this group is not an hospitable place for one which is not oriented towards service to others. In fact, it would indeed be very difficult for any entity to be able to contact anyone in this group. We are not saying that such entities might not be attracted to the Light which burns as a lighthouse when a group is united in prayer and seeking. It is only to say that those who have sought to be of service as channels having once tuned and then having tuned personally by prayer while awaiting contact simply do not offer an opportunity for negative contact.

We wish that we could comfort you more, but we are aware that we must leave to your own discrimination any doubts between that which is positive and negative as each of you in your own hearts may discriminate. We would not wish to have more authority than we do, for we are your brothers and your sisters—not greater that you, only those who care and thus come to you as comforters, as strengtheners, and hopefully as those who may offer some inspiration that your own life within may be somehow aided by our humble drifts. We know we have little to offer, but we are so grateful that you allow us that small [inaudible] which is ours, for we are only messengers. The Love and the Light is the Father’s. The kingdom that we all seek is His. And so, we say especially to those three named, fear not but be of good faith and good cheer. All that is yours awaits you. We would at this time return to our original consideration and focus the attention of those present on being of service.

Our friends, each of you is aware of many ways to be of service which the society in which you live also recognizes. There is hunger in the world, and it is recognized that you are of service if you attempt to feed those who have no food. There is great poverty, loneliness, and solitude unwanted and forced upon some and to those unfortunates, so-called, your culture deems it charitable to aid by a helping hand. Some political movements and social issues seem to be full of service, and so those who wish to be of service become active and this is service.

There are those great leaders whose careers are known and whose lives are great examples of service. Selfless men and women who have given all that they have to a profession, or a belief, and have spent a lifetime in creating a very visible form of service. To such people go public praise and great recognition. But let us focus now upon each here. My friends, do you know how great your opportunities for service are? There are so many things that the culture in which you live requires you to do that sometimes your sense of yourself seems to be lost, and you are in effect the one who is doing, the one functioning, the one coping—neither positively nor negatively. But let us take a step back.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak of how we can be of service to others. They began by saying each of you is aware of many ways to be of service which the society in which you live also recognizes, for there is hunger in the world, and it is recognized that you are of service if you attempt to feed those who have no food, and there is poverty and loneliness forced upon some, and to those unfortunates your culture deems it charitable to aid by a helping hand, so some political movements and social issues seem to be full of service, and so those who wish to be of service become active, and this is service. Hatonn went on to say there are those leaders whose lives are great examples of service, and selfless men and women who have given all that they have to a profession, or a belief, and have spent a lifetime in creating a visible form of service, so to such people go public praise and recognition, but let us focus now upon each here, and you know how great your opportunities for service are because here are many things that the culture in which you live requires you to do that sometimes your sense of yourself seems to be lost, and you are the one who is functioning. On November 29, 1998, Q’uo spoke of how our difficulties can provide opportunities to be of service:

The difficulties of blending vibrations, of seeking in unity, and of recognizing the Creator in all are significant enough that there are, as you are well aware, many wars, misunderstandings, miscommunications and other difficulties that make this illusion one filled with confusion, and that which seems to be a turmoil of significant degree. This is seen as a kind of chaotic expression of energy by those awaiting incarnation. Yet it is not seen as that which deters the desire to move into the third-density illusion in this planetary influence and to experience the opportunities that await those who seek their own graduation and the graduation of those of their vibration. Rather, the difficulties that are perceived are seen as further opportunities for service as those challenges which enhance the incarnational abilities to learn the lessons of Love and to serve the Light of the one Creator. The chaotic expression of energy is seen as that which offers the opportunity to enhance one’s own expression of energy as one is able to move in harmony through the difficult times and experiences that lie ahead. For previous to incarnation, each entity is far more aware that it is a portion of the one Creator, and all those about it are the same, as are those with whom it shall spend its third-density days. Thus, the entity awaiting the incarnation sees with clearer eyes that which lies ahead and is far less liable to shy away from such difficulties but is far more likely to embrace them as the opportunities to serve and to learn.

What time have you spent this day in meditation? What time in prayer? What time in contemplation? If you have spent no time in these activities your instinctive ability to sense the needs of others will have been greatly impaired. Your instinctive sense of yourself as a being created in Love, placed in this environment here and now to offer a channeling, a witness, will be greatly impaired. Therefore, we encourage each of you to begin with that which is basic: the seeking of the original Thought. For if you do not experience truth then you are not truth, or you will have removed yourself from clarity, for the truth is within you just as the Creator is within you. Your source is within you. Your comforter awaits within you.

The doors you wish to open to the outside world of service must first be opened from the inside, for your truth awaits the opening of that door. That truth cannot come to you. You must come to it, or at least open the door to it. It takes a mere moment to mentally open the door within. It takes one gentle thought to open a universe of Love within you. And with a universe of Love within you, my friends, what service can you help but be? Then you will not miss the chance to smile, and oh, my friends, what a lovely dance a smile makes. You will not miss a chance to reach and touch those who may need it. Indeed, my friends, there are many times when you feel that you are being of no service whatever because someone is aiding you, and you feel that you are on the receiving end and cannot possibly be of service. My friends, when with a grateful heart you receive, you have greeted the Creator in manifestation.

The Hatonn said:” What time have you spent this day in meditation? What time in prayer? What time in contemplation?” Then Hatonn said if you have spent no time in these activities your instinctive ability to sense the needs of others will have been impaired, and your instinctive sense of yourself as a being created in Love, placed in this environment to offer a witness will be impaired, so we encourage each of you to begin with that which is basic: the seeking of the original Thought, for if you do not experience truth then you are not truth, and you will have removed yourself from clarity, for the truth is within you just as the Creator is within you, and your Source is within you, so your Comforter awaits within you. Hatonn continued by saying the doors you wish to open to the outside world of service must first be opened from the inside, for your truth awaits the opening of that door, but that truth cannot come to you, so you must come to it, or at least open the door to it, for it takes a moment to mentally open the door within, so it takes one gentle thought to open a universe of Love within you, and with a universe of Love within you what service can you help but be? Hatonn went on to say what a lovely dance a smile makes, so you will not miss a chance to touch those who may need it, for there are many times when you feel that you are being of no service whatever because someone is aiding you, and you feel that you are on the receiving end and cannot be of service, but when with a grateful heart you receive, you have greeted the Creator in manifestation. On May 3, 1998, Q’uo said that the universe of Love is within us:

The tools to help you with this work are several. The very first and always the central one, in our opinion, is time spent with the Creator, time being with the Creator. The eyes that see the world see a human being sitting. The heart within knows a different reality. In that world within the self is a pilgrim seeking entrance to an inner sanctum in which the Creator already dwells in full glory and strength; from before time began until there is no more time, this is so. Before you were, before the world was, before all things, the Creator rested in Its universe. And as you are part of this universe of Love so that Love incarnate dwells within you. See yourself as a pilgrim walking up to the door of that inner sanctum, inserting the key of silence, walking in and sitting, not with other human beings, however worthy they may be, but with the infinite Creator. This communion awaits you constantly. It is not that the Creator is not with you, for the Creator is your companion from the instant of your beginning until the last fell knoll of life’s bells. It is the self within incarnation that does not remember where to go to tabernacle with the infinite One. We would encourage each who wishes to move into the heart to attempt daily to sit in silence and allow the Creator within to make Itself known to you with no words, with no dramatic fanfare but that still, small voice whose message is far beyond concept, but whose surety is absolute.

And what of those times, my friends, that you do not pray, nor meditate, nor contemplate, nor even speak civilly, but rather attempt to survive because your world has become turned upside down for some reason? What of those times? May we say to you that even then you are of service, for those about you will learn by those things which you offer. They may not learn great feelings of warmth, smiles, and hugs and may instead learn toughness, and integrity, and unselfishness. You cannot help but be of service. Is that not a great lesson, my friends? Undoubtedly you wish to be of somewhat more service than we have just described. When those days occur—and in any incarnation those days will occur, if you are pursuing a path of growth—try to learn that toughness, that integrity, and that unselfishness yourself that will accept yourself. By accepting yourself as you change, as you fight and struggle to learn, you greatly speed up the process of your own learning and incidentally shorten the period of your own discomfort.

Hatonn went on to say: “What of those times that you do not pray, nor meditate, nor contemplate, nor even speak civilly, but rather attempt to survive because your world has become turned upside down for some reason? What of those times?” Then Hatonn said that even then you are of service, for those about you will learn by those things which you offer. They may not learn great feelings of warmth, smiles, and hugs and may instead learn toughness, and integrity, and unselfishness, but you cannot help but be of service, and you wish to be of more service than we have described, so when those days occur—and in any incarnation those days will occur, if you are pursuing a path of growth—try to learn that toughness, integrity, and unselfishness that will help you accept yourself, for by accepting yourself as you change and struggle to learn, you speed up the process of your learning and shorten the period of your own discomfort. On May 7, 2000, Q’uo spoke of how we can learn to accept ourself:

Within your meditative state—and this is again our recommendation for the investigation of emotion, to use meditation—look, then, to those feelings which you have, for they are valuable in themselves. They are the temperature, shall we say, of your current experience. Each may be seen as a portion of a trail, a thread, that will lead one to more fruitful finding of the value of experience. The emotions that one feels at any particular moment give one a place to begin to assess that which is occurring in the life pattern, to see the honest and spontaneous response of self to self. Then, as one is able to utilize these emotions in the balancing process one shall find their opposite occurring. Thus, if you are able to relive a situation in which a strong emotion occurs and within the meditative state to see this occurring, giving it free reign, to become as large as you can imagine, then there is the opportunity for the polar opposite emotion to arise within the meditative state so that you begin to feel another way about a certain situation, person, or event. Then allow this polar opposite emotion to get as large and as powerful as it can. When this has completed its growth and presentation to you, then accept yourself for having both of these means by which the Creator may know Itself in you, in your experience. Thus, you have taught to the Creator that which you have learned within the situation, and you have seen a fuller expression of natural emotion within your being as a means by which you know the Creator in you. Thus, you, working with every emotion that leaves its imprint upon you, are able to see the full range of your beingness, the appropriateness of each facet of emotion, the direction that each emotion points towards the heart of being, so that eventually there is but one emotion for every event, that being compassion, Love, forgiveness, mercy, understanding—all of those qualities of unconditional Love.

We greet each of you. With you we meditate. With you we praise the infinite Creator. And with you, with many thanks, we have shared a few meager thoughts. We ask [inaudible] greet and welcome the one known as [S] who has not been with this group for some time. We would, if the one known as C1 would accept it, enjoy closing this particular message through her and at this time would transfer the contact. I am Hatonn.

(C1 channeling)

I am Hatonn. Again, I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Again, may we express our great joy at being with you tonight. We have observed in some of your meditations, experiences of growth and joy. We have been aware of the Love that you send to each other. Perhaps you are not aware that in sending this Love to each other the entire group benefits and as you send out Love and Light to others that is strengthened also. What we are trying to say, my friends, is that it’s difficult for you to be aware of the strength that each of you gains from a group and from the experiences you share together. The one known as M and C1 will soon be leaving the group, and you can make their transition much easier by continuing to send Love and Light to them. May we repeat again it has been our pleasure to be with the group tonight, and we leave you now in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, knowing that you are always safe in that Love and Light, and you have but to be aware of it, and you will know for yourself that it does provide safety. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We have been eagerly awaiting our opportunity to join your group this evening and to once again attempt to answer those queries which you have brought with you. May we then ask if there is a query with which we might begin?

C1: Yes. We’ve been talking about doing little things by way of serving our fellow man. Will you comment on what Jesus said when he said, “If a cup of cold water is given in my name it will not go unrewarded.” What does it mean by “given in my name”?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The one known as Jesus was the teacher whose purpose for incarnation was to teach the lesson of Love—unconditional Love for all of creation. This entity was Love, Love this entity had attained through its seeking of the one Creator. Therefore, this entity’s name could be said to be vibrating in resonance with that known as Love and compassion. Therefore, when he said that to give the cup of cold water in his name would be an action rewarded when He was in fact saying that to give even the smallest gift in Love for the one to whom it is given is not only to share Love but also to know and to be Love and to be rewarded with the knowledge of that Love.

May we answer you further my sister?

C1: Well, yes, just one little bit more about that. I am reminded of … I had charge of a service years ago in the jail speaking to the women, and one night after the service I tried to find a woman three stories up in a dark hallway that about scared me to death, but she had great need, and I took her twenty dollars and gave it to her, and I was trying to live up to that “give a cup of cold water in my name,” and I said, “I give you this in the name of Jesus.” And I felt like a fool, and she looked at me like a fool, and so I felt like I was trying to live up to the letter of the law, and yet I was doing it the best I could. That’s what I was trying to get at. Are we to say or indicate that we are doing this in the name of Jesus or do we just do it? I didn’t try that anymore, by the way.

[Laughter]

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. When one attempts to share the Love that is within the heart, open the heart without premeditation so that that Love which is within may be expressed freely and naturally if such words as you have spoken come easily to your lips, and then speak them freely. Do not worry with concerns about how you shall accompany the Love with words or actions, simply seek within the heart of your being to give freely and the words and clothing of the action shall naturally be made clear to you, or should we say through you.

May we answer you further, my sister?

C1: No that helps me to understand. I think I must have been trying to live up to the letter of the law. Thank you, I understand better.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I’d just like to pursue it a little further. Of course, having just come off a Christian weekend I am probably really oriented toward this question, but it does seem to me that a lot of people are ready to hear the name of Jesus.

[Side one of tape ends.]

Carla: …equally powerful whereas there’s something to that particular vibration—Jesus—that makes a difference. Is it within me, as I in my heart believe, or is it in a name that the bulk of the power would reside?S

I am Latwii and am aware or your query, my sister. We see that the one known as C1 has once again generated within your being the seeking for similar understanding, and we greatly appreciate the combination of your efforts. To speak to your query may we suggest that it is the heart of your being which gives the force, shall we say, to any words which emanate from your lips, for the words are the attempts to clothe the great feeling of Love from your heart in understandable concepts so that the mind of another may receive the understanding which emanates from heart to heart. Yet it is also true, as you have surmised, that many within your culture especially yearn to hear the name of the master known as Jesus. For within your culture this entity is equated, correctly so, with the vibration of Love. Yet this yearning to hear the name exists not because of any name but because of what the name expresses. Speak yea then your heart, my sister, in the way which has meaning for you, for each entity’s ability to be of service to others is unique and to be fully expressed must be so in the way, which is natural, shall we say, for that entity.

Carla asked: “Of course, having just come off a Christian weekend I am probably really oriented toward this question, but it does seem to me that a lot of people are ready to hear the name of Jesus. And there’s something to that particular vibration—Jesus—that makes a difference. Is it within me, as I in my heart believe, or is it in a name that the bulk of the power would reside?” Latwii replied by saying we see that C1 has again generated within your being the seeking for similar understanding, and we appreciate the combination of your efforts, and to speak to your query we suggest that it is the heart of your being which gives the force to any words which come from your lips, for the words are attempts to clothe the great feeling of Love from your heart in understandable concepts, so that the mind of another may receive the understanding which emanates from heart to heart, yet it is also true that many within your culture yearn to hear the name of the master Jesus, for within your culture this entity is equated with the vibration of Love, but this yearning to hear the name exists, not because of any name, but because of what the name expresses, so speak from your heart in the way which has meaning for you, for each entity’s ability to be of service to others is unique and to be fully expressed must be so in the way, which is natural for that entity. On November 17, 1997, Q’uo described how Jesus was a great part of the Love of the Creator:

That entities are willing to make rooms in their hearts and in their minds for the teachings of the one known as Jesus is an helpful thing, for it is the heart of this entity’s teachings that each seeker seeks and that is Love. The one known as Jesus was steeped in the great energy of the One Creator, the creative energy which has made all things and which each entity instinctually seeks out within this third-density illusion, for even at the level of each cell in each body there is the knowledge of Love. There is the desire for Love. There is the pull towards Love. For it is well known that the one known as Jesus replaced all the laws of Moses with the two great commandments which revolved about the concept of Love: to Love the Creator with every fiber of the being and to Love the neighbor as the self. Thus, this entity has its influence to this day in a most harmonious way upon each seeker, and we would encourage each seeker who reveres the one known as Jesus to seek within the life pattern where Love rests, where Love remains, where Love may be found.

May we answer you further my sister?

Carla: No. I think that that’s really clear. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I have a query. Something that has occurred to me several times recently because I’ve been talking to people and just have these things occur to me several times. We’ve been talking to Ra off and on about polarity for some time. I noticed with the women friends that I have that are really strong friends of mine that it is almost as if we were of one body. It’s a different relationship than I have with my man friends, although no less close, simply a different feeling, and it seems to me probably, I’m guessing, to be related to our similar polarity so that consequently rather than being attracted to each other in a polarized fashion we are one identity basically in polarity and are able simply to merge. Does this reading of polarity and its effects on human relationships have any merit?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Those who seek with a like mind and heart shall attract to themselves the experiences which will blend their seeking and their being. This is basically the situation which you find yourself in. As you seek the Love and Light of the one Creator you attract to yourself those who also seek in a similar fashion so that in the larger sense you become more in unity with those who seek as you seek. To reduce this phenomenon further, those of the female gender who are together with you seeking are, with you, realizing the potential of their gender. This is a portion of your seeking. As you seek together you utilize those faculties of your being on all levels which are available to you. Some are available because you are the gender you are. To be more, shall we say, intuitive and inspirational therefore becomes a factor of unification according to gender and you do indeed become of one beingness or body as you have described it with those of your gender.

May we answer you further my sister?

Carla: Just the balancing question. I have very close male friends also and consider those relationships as close as relationships with my women friends. It is simply that I have observed that there is the potential for misuse of the polarity between two spiritual seekers who are male and female, regardless of age or attractiveness, simply that the polarity exists and because of the intense seeking on both. Consequently, that being dealt with in a mature manner, that is to say, being accepted for what it is, as polarity, as proper and appropriate, that same intimate relationship can exist between man and woman in their spiritual search. It’s simply that the polarity is there instead of the identity and after that point, we’re all capable, it seems to me, of helping each other, male or female, and it doesn’t matter. But I do think it seems that polarity is something to be dealt with simply by recognizing it and not being bemused by it or taken away from the track of mutual spiritual seeking. Is this also a fair reading of polarity, as it applies to spiritual seekers?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that you have made a quite acceptable explanation of this phenomenon. May we answer you further?

Carla: No, thanks.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: Yes. For the last couple of weeks—last week or the week before—I was in this general vicinity visited by a thought form of the Confederation. It’s kind of a specific question—not terribly important, but I ask it for someone who was interested, and it was on the night of a meditation.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find in scanning the recent memory of your friend that it is necessary to refrain from the direct answer so that free will shall not be abridged. Phenomena of this variety must present a riddle, shall we say, to such participants and observers so that through the strength of their own inner seeking the answers of value might be found.

May we be of further service, my brother?

Questioner: I think your answer was the desired answer. Thanks.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

C1: I have a puzzle. I normally keep my eyes closed during meditation, but I opened them to look at the sofa beside me, and no one was sitting there, and mentally I felt I was sitting on this sofa alone. Why would I get that weird impression when I know this girl is sitting here with me?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, we find that the experiences that one such as yourself observes have meaning according to the unique configuration of seeking and perception which is yours. To express in simple and clear terms those characteristics which cause you to experience one or another sensation is to give you information which we feel is best sought within your own meditative being.

May we be of further service, my sister?

C1: No. I guess someday I’ll figure it out myself.

I am Latwii. My sister, this illusion which you inhabit is full of mysteries. The one Creator is hidden in each. To find the face of the Creator is the goal which each seeks, and so shall ye find as ye seek.

Is there another query at this time?

C1: Yes, one more. I don’t want to hog this thing, but one more question. It’s certainly not profound, but it has been interesting to me. I’ve had a [inaudible] because of where I was born and raised, I guess, the experiences I’ve had in church and all, I’ve had … it’s been an obsession to me to seek what I call the truth and get rid of as much ignorance as possible. And at the risk of making a nuisance out of myself much of my life, and [inaudible] going into bookstores, I have literally found books on bookshelves I did not know existed, had no idea of knowing they were existed, but it just seemed to me that that book was just what I needed at that point in time. Was I guided to that book, or did I just stumble onto it or a … would you comment on that?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As the strength of the seeking increases each entity shall find seeming coincidences crossing the path of the seeking so that a book, a friend, a stranger, an event may lend yet one more piece to the puzzle of the mystery of being and make more sense, shall we say, out of what was confusion. When you seek you are as the magnet attracting the filings of iron. Never forget you are one with all of creation. Therefore, when you see that which you seek is a portion of yourself, and as you seek that portion of yourself, it being yourself, is aware of that seeking and shall reveal itself unto you through whatever means is understandable to you at that time, be it a book, a song, a sign in the sky, a conversation, a chance encounter. There are many, many ways by which the mystery of your being is revealed to you each moment in which you seek. Truly it has been said there are no accidents.

May we answer you further, my sister?

C1: Well, let me just summarize what I think I heard. For instance, when I would go to the bookstore and find a book, which I didn’t know existed, and I would be just tremendously inspired and just mark this book all up, you mean I found a part of me, truth with me … I found something within me … now is that what you’re saying? Or I discovered a part of me that I did not know was me. Is that what I heard?

I am Latwii, my sister, and this is correct. It might be that at that moment this was the means by which you would most clearly understand that portion of your being which you were seeking to understand. It might also be that at another moment the seeking which you were engaged in would reveal to you through meditation that which was sought. It might be as is generally the case that some experience in your life would reveal to you the general nature of that which you were seeking, so that event upon event would present itself to you, so that you might see through the power of your seeking the core of truth both in the event and in yourself which you have been seeking, and so the path of evolution of the mind, the body, and the spirit continues endlessly within your illusion. The seeking and the finding. The seeking and the finding.

May we answer you further, my sister?

C1: The seeking carries with it a certain amount of frustration and pain, but the finding is like the light or the joy that I experience then, and I don’t want to ask you to talk a long time on that. It seems that the seeking is frustrating, but the finding is very joyous, so the joy almost outweighs the seeking. Is that a pretty good evaluation of this seeking and finding and seeking and finding?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. So it is within your illusion that there must be the motivation for the seeking, for the effort to be made. For if you had no need to increase your understanding, how would understanding increase? Must you not then feel the pain, the frustration, of your ignorance so that this might draw you forward, shall we say, and provide the means by which your journey continues and the finding of that which was lost within your being brings the joy of the reunion and the union on the conscious level within yourself with all that is. To not be aware of that unity creates the pain of ignorance. The pain of ignorance drives one forward so that the unity might be further revealed.

May we answer you further, my sister?

C1: No, that’s fantastic. A lot of things make sense now. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: A quick one, I hope. I’m considering, for personal reasons, changing the day of the week we hold our weekly meditations. I’m concerned that the level of my own service will be maintained. Could you comment?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We find some limits surrounding our potential response due to our unwillingness to infringe upon your free will, but we might suggest that when the desire of the group is focused upon the meeting, and those present desire the meditation for increasing inspiration and understanding, then it is possible to conduct such a meeting no matter the day.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you [inaudible].

I am Latwii. Is there another query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Latwii. As we observe the great peace and joy of the silence within this group, we feel that we have exhausted the queries for the evening. It is always our honor to be asked to join your group. We thank each of you. We remind each as well that we would be most happy to join you in your private meditations should you but request our presence. Peace be with each. We leave this group at this time rejoicing in the peace and the power of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

I am Nona. I come in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. We are those of healing and offer to you, our song.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Wherever the need is, there is fulfillment. Fulfillment exists in consciousness as individual being, and that consciousness is God. Fulfillment involves a transition in consciousness. It may require days, weeks, or months of meditation before we come to the realization that God is individual being, and that the place whereon we stand is holy ground. Never again can there be a need or desire, without its being instantly fulfilled from within, as the fulfillment of consciousness. God is our consciousness; God fulfills Itself, daily and hourly, in every form necessary. The basis of this realization is God as individual being.

Since God is individual consciousness, we can, with faithfulness, persistence, and perseverance, reach the kingdom of God within us and bring it forth into our experience, so that it takes over our entire life. The God-consciousness can fulfill Itself only in proportion as we nullify the personal sense of ‘I.’ Going to God without a single desire eliminates the ‘I’ in large measure because it is only the personal ‘I’ who could have a wish, a desire, or a will. We turn to God to receive a spiritual blessing or benediction, and no one knows what will be the nature of their particular spiritual blessing or benediction. ‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of humanity, the things which God hath prepared for them that love God. But God hath revealed them unto us by Its Spirit.’

When the Finger of God touches, It may place us in a completely different life—if that be Its destiny for us. For each of us there is a destiny; we are not all intended to engage in the same kind of activity:

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. For to one is given by the Spirit, the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to everyone severally as It will. For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.”

This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. The second stop was at Speedway Gas Station where I used their compressed air gauge to fill the two tires on the right side of Stanley. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription.

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

January 27

Beyond Reason And Comfort

I am the Spirit of the consciousness of Love, the creative principle of the universe and all that is manifested within it.

To deal with words is to become involved in overstatement and understatement, both of which are unavoidable. And to seem to be rational is a situation we must endure. For the spirit of mighty Love is anything but rational. And its strength lies not in man’s ability to reason it out but in the ability of Spirit to gaze beyond the reason of man.

Thus, it will sometimes seem to you that the Spirit is a harsh and unforgiving voice and is perhaps more interested in enriching negative experience than in offering ease and comfort. Yet to be a Comforter is to seek hard times and hard decisions and then to invest such with the consciousness of Love. For it is not in comfortable times that a Comforter is needed but during the transformation of difficulty.

We ask you, then, to ask of the spirit not “Why?” but “What?” and “How?” For though we shall not be the voice of reason to you, yet shall the comfort which we do offer be more precious to the seeker than rubies and gold.

In peace we leave you, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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