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.

(Carla channeling)

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.

[Carla channels a song from Nona.]

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from the channelings of Hatonn and Latwii from November 7, 1982:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Again, my friends, we are pleased to be with you, for to share in so large a group is indeed a pleasure for us. We would only speak a few words through this instrument as there are other instruments that are very willing this evening to serve us as we would serve you in sharing our simple message. It is one of Love and peace and sharing that we bring to you. It is one of many hearts combining into one, striving to attain the togetherness, the like mind of serving the Creator, of being one with your brothers and sisters, of seeing that in each is the Creator, is the Love. The truth, my friends, is seeing that in each is you.

At this time, we would transfer to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. We greet you again in the Love and the Light. As you journey, there will be times when you may very well meet obstacles from which you may back up. As you journey and meet such obstacles do not stop at them but take them as a lesson, learn from them and continue, for to grow, to continue your journey, you need be persistent. You need not rush, and always try to do that which you may.

We shall now transfer. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again through this instrument. We are pleased to speak through this instrument as there is some calling for channeling which this instrument may do. May we take this opportunity to welcome in voice those who are not always with this group as they sit in this domicile. May we assure each who considers themselves a visitor that you are not any longer visitors, but have, indeed, become an integral part of this family of souls. It is a great privilege to spend this small amount of your time, sharing community with you. My friends, we are taking our time with this instrument, for she is somewhat fatigued, and we are aware that there is a calling for some information and some inspiration which this instrument is capable of channeling given the slow method of communication, for what we have to say is not what this instrument expects. Indeed, we are often a “Johnny-One-Note,” as this instrument would call us, sounding ever the theme of meditation, for only through meditation or a parallel resource of being can you find that original Thought which each of you seeks.

This evening, however, we would speak to you of several seemingly disconnected items: of mirrors, of families, and of the definition of home. Each of you is aware that each is a mirror for another. This can sometimes be discomfiting, perplexing, and painful. Within your daily framework of activities, it is usual for each within a family to be absent for a long enough time, as you would call it, that the mirroring effect is diluted. It is quite unusual to have an extremely strong reaction to one with whom your acquaintance is somewhat shallow. Therefore, the definition of family is one that may be seen in many ways to be etched in pain, for it is in the pain of realization that transformation occurs. And because each of you insulates yourself from most of the mirrors around you, it is only in the family that that which is truly painful may occur. It is also the only place where there is the resource of comfort from those about you, and this occurs, of course, through clear communication.

Therefore, the definition of home is quite simply that place where any family dwells. Blood ties may be quite properly in place, yet the place not be a home. If there is no work done upon the mirroring, the transformations, and the support, each of the other, there is no home. If those resources are there, there is a home, regardless of those ties which may or not be offered as—known among the peoples as—the kinship of the family. Going beyond this, my friends, we have a mirroring effect which begins to occur when the student applies itself to the point where they become the mirror for the self. This is more advanced work, and it is more subtle work. You cannot fool your family. They will call you out. It is possible, however, to fool yourself. It is this point which we wish to dwell upon briefly.

In this session Hatonn wanted to talk about how we may use the mirroring effect. They began by saying this evening we would speak to you of several disconnected items: of mirrors, of families, and of the definition of home, and each of you is aware that each is a mirror for another, but this can be perplexing and painful, for within your daily framework of activities, it is usual for each within a family to be absent for a long enough time that the mirroring effect is diluted. It is quite unusual to have a strong reaction to one with whom your acquaintance is shallow, so the definition of family is one that may be seen in many ways to be etched in pain, for it is in the pain of realization that transformation occurs, and because each of you insulates yourself from most of the mirrors around you, it is only in the family that which is painful may occur, and it is also the place where there is the resource of comfort from those about you, and this occurs through clear communication. Hatonn continued by saying the definition of home is that place where any family dwells, and blood ties may be in place, yet the place is not a home, but if there is no work done upon the mirroring, the transformations, and the support, each of the other, there is no home, so if those resources are there, there is a home, regardless of those ties which may or not be offered as the kinship of the family, and going beyond this we have a mirroring effect which begins to occur when the student applies itself to the point where they become the mirror for the self, for this is more advanced work, and it is more subtle work, and you cannot fool your family, for they will call you out, but is possible to fool yourself, so it is this point which we wish to dwell upon briefly. On July 28, 1985, Latwii described the nature of the mirroring effect:

These male and female qualities, then, being expressed within this mated relationship allow the mirroring effect to occur with greater intensity and frequency. This mirroring effect is the effect that occurs when one sees within another self those characteristics that are loved and accepted and those that are not loved and not accepted. In truth, these are the characteristics of the self which are loved or not loved, and are those characteristics which outline the lessons and services that the entity has designed into the life pattern from the pre-incarnational state.

The intensity and frequency of this mirroring effect, then, is due to the natural attractions and interactions that are set in motion by the basic positive and negative forces of creation moving within the mated couple. That the relationship is one which is seen as a life-long relationship ensures that the mirroring effect will be produced on a frequent basis. The frequency aids in the intensification of the opportunity to see the self within another and to work upon the self as one works upon the relationship with the other self.

Many of you in this group are at the point at which you have no need of a family. You have only the need to give to be of service, unless you are within families. Your true work has become internalized. At this stage the methods of causing yourself to be confused are myriad. You, as an observer, may distort your observation of yourself in any way that you choose if you choose to avoid any iota of the pain of the further, more subtle, and more defined transformations that you seek at this level of being. How do you perceive yourselves, my friends? Let us sound a great challenge to you. See yourselves within the perspective of those whom you might call saints, enlightened beings, angels or oversouls, and then do not spare yourself as you analyze those things which you have done which you wish you had not, those things you wish you had done that you have not. We do not ask you to be so hard upon yourself for the sake of some masochistic pleasure. We ask you to do this in order that you may grow, be nourished, and thrive. We ask you to do this that you may be at peace. We ask you to do this because it is time for you to do this.

Each of you begins each day as a newborn, and yet each of you brings to that newborn day the baggage of your yesterdays, unless, my friends, you have unpacked those bags; you have removed your luggage; you have shed your skin. Do you wish to miss today? Do you wish to miss tomorrow? Very well, then, you have eternity. Your family will continue to aid you, and you will continue to make some progress. But the great fire that refines is within you, and each of you at this point is capable of choosing to turn to that fire, not only for warmth, but for growth and strength. This path, my friends, can be said over and over to be one of love, of warmth, of joy, and of caring. But turn the card, my friends, and demand of yourself, as you can, that last great honesty that will bring you peace that the world indeed cannot give you, but more, that no other person can give you. In the end, the great mirror is within. We welcome and accept each glance away from that mirror.

Hatonn went on to say many of you in this group are at the point at which you have no need of a family, so you have only the need to be of service, unless you are within families because your true work has become internalized, and at this stage the methods of causing yourself to be confused are many, for being an observer may distort your observation of yourself in any way that you choose if you choose to avoid any iota of the pain of the more defined transformations that you seek at this level of being, so let us sound a challenge to you to see yourselves within the perspective of those angels or oversouls, and then do not spare yourself as you analyze those things which you have done which you wish you had not, those things you wish you had done that you have not, so we do not ask you to be so hard on yourself for the sake of some masochistic pleasure, but we ask you to do this in order that you may grow and thrive because it is time for you to do this. Hatonn went on to say each of you begins each day as a newborn, and yet each of you brings to that newborn day the baggage of your yesterdays, unless you have removed your luggage, so: “Do you wish to miss today? Do you wish to miss tomorrow?” Hatonn said you have eternity, and your family will continue to aid you, and you will continue to make progress, but the great fire that refines is within you, so each of you at this point is capable of choosing to turn to that fire, not only for warmth, but for growth and strength, for this path can be said to be one of love and joy, but turn the card, and demand of yourself that honesty that will bring you peace that the world cannot give you, and that no other person can give you, for in the end the great mirror is within, and we welcome each glance away from that mirror. On June 24, 2005, Q’uo spoke about the fire within that refines us:

And you began to make a plan. You chose for yourself your major relationships, your birth family or those who brought you up, your spouse or mate, and those lovers and friends that have been important to you. You carefully chose even your enemies and those who wish you harm because you did not wish to waste the relationships in this life. Rather, you wished to use them in order to refine that within you which is yourself. Just as that which is crude goes into the fire that refines it, you chose a certain kind of refining energy that would circulate throughout your life as if it were a theme or a motif.

We remember and have within our being the memory of not knowing oneness. We remember the feeling of being totally unredeemed. We do not disparage any days, weeks, or years in your incarnation in which you have done less than that which is spiritually strenuous. There is joy in testing yourself. The athlete strives to do that which he does one instant better or quicker. The scholar strives to seek for one more piece of the great circle of intellectual knowledge that has not been discovered, and those of your orthodox spirituality strive to know to the last echo the feelings and the experience of the mystic.

And what we say to you is: In the cold look you give yourself, in honest appraisal and in the surrender to that which is most truly you, there is the satisfaction of having been just that much faster, just that much more careful, just that much more curious. Never doubt that we are with you, and never doubt that you shall succeed, and that the joy which balances cold introspection shall come upon you most unexpectedly and most frequently. But we know that this group desires more than comfortable inspiration, and so we say to you, take the hard road. It is the quick road, and you shall be fleet of foot, for this is what you came here to be.

Hatonn continued by saying we have within our being the memory of not knowing oneness, and we remember the feeling of being totally unredeemed, but we do not disparage any days, weeks, or years in our incarnation in which we have done less than that which is spiritually strenuous, for there is joy in testing ourself, so the athlete strives to do that which he does one instant quicker, and the scholar strives to seek for one more piece of the great circle of intellectual knowledge that has not been discovered, and those of your orthodox spirituality strive to know to the last echo the experience of the mystic. Then Hatonn said what we say to you is: In the cold look to give yourself, in honest appraisal and in the surrender to that which is truly you, the satisfaction of having been that much faster, that much more careful, that much more curious, and never doubt that we are with you, and never doubt that you shall succeed, and the joy which balances cold introspection shall come upon you unexpectedly and frequently, but we know that this group desires more than comfortable inspiration, so we say to you, take the hard road, for it is the quick road, and you shall be fleet of foot, for this is what you came here to be. On June 18, 2005, Q’uo said that the Christ within us is who we truly are:

This instrument prays every morning that she may hear the Word, that she may, in her flesh and in her mistakes and in her every movement, be used. If you but open yourself to the possibility of Christ within, you will understand that the “I Am” that is truly you is the way, the truth, and the life.

We would close through another. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

We apparently shall not close through another, as the one known as M1 desires to listen. We thank this group for calling us. We thank you for all that you have experienced in recent times in learning the discrimination of channeling. We thank each channeler. We thank each present for the privilege of being with you. In greatest humility may we beg you not to take our words as anything but what they are, the conversation of brothers and sisters. Take what you can use and discard the rest. We send you visions of lilies, and roses, and hyacinths, and jonquils. We send you the blue skies, the warm breezes, and the sweet scents that at this time are not with you in your season. We send you the knowledge so often forgotten that all of these things are long in the making. The earth must nurture long the seeds of being before springtime blazes forth in its pastel symphony.

As you look in your mirror, my friends, do not forget the lesson of the seasons, and do not look upon an occasional winter as a disaster. It is absolutely necessary for a butterfly to have been in a cocoon. It is mandatory that the flowers be nurtured in the ground. We leave you, my friends, in whatever season of being may be yours. Please know always that the kingdom which you may call summer is all about you and within you, and that the illusion that so powerfully affects you is merely that which teaches you not to inhabit summer, but to be that great season of brightness and blooming. We leave you in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. I am known to you as one of Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is our privilege once again to be asked to join your group this evening. We are filled with joy at this opportunity to be of service in our attempt to answer your queries. We feel there are many queries present this evening, therefore, without further ado, may we ask for the first query?

Carla: Well, I’ll jump in. I’ve been having several people giving me lectures about these contacts, as a matter of fact, especially the one with Ra, and connecting them with the concept of Satan. I don’t really have a lot of trouble with what they are saying because I know it is because they are very concerned and care about me. But I just wonder if you could comment on the use and misuse of judgment, especially as it applies to Christianity?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Each entity within your illusion attempts to sort through the confusion of its own being, the confusion which surrounds it in its daily life. It is known from within each that there is the ability within the being to find, shall we say, the proper path for the moment. Many are the means of journeying. Each has the dictates, shall we say, as to how the path might best be traveled. In an attempt to aid the seeker, each means of seeking has the rules, shall we say, for it is known through experience that some techniques work better than others. Therefore, it is easy for the eager seeker who has found some means of clarifying the confusion for itself to feel that this is the means by which all might progress.

Within the heart of Love, therefore, is born the desire to share this means. But within your illusion, confusion still exists for each in greater or lesser degree, and adds the factor of distortion so that when any seeker attempts to share its means with another by condemning other means, there is the distortion …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii. To continue. These within the distortion which you have called Christianity are no more liable to exercise the faculty of judgment than are any others upon your planet, for even within this distortion of Oneness it is plainly stated that to judge not that the entity be not judged itself is proper. Yet, in the fervor of a moment of seeking and attempting to share the Love that has been found in whatever degree it has been found is often borne the distortion of judgment. Know, my friends, that such entities have at the core of their being Love which seeks to be expressed, however distorted it might finally be manifested.

Carla asked: “I’ve been having several people giving me lectures about these contacts, as a matter of fact, especially the one with Ra, and connecting them with the concept of Satan. I don’t really have a lot of trouble with what they are saying because I know it is because they are very concerned and care about me. But I just wonder if you could comment on the use and misuse of judgment, especially as it applies to Christianity?” Latwii began by saying each entity within your illusion attempts to sort through the confusion which surrounds it in its daily life, and it is known from within each that there is the ability within the being to find the proper path for the moment, for many are the means of journeying, and each has the knowledge as to how the path might best be traveled, so in an attempt to aid the seeker, each means of seeking has rules, for it is known through experience that some techniques work better than others, so it is easy for the eager seeker who has found some means of clarifying the confusion for itself to feel that this is the means by which all might progress.

On September 25, 2010, Q’uo described the function of judgment:

The function of judgment is to place within you a picture, a way to think, a way to be, a way to feel that you may examine for what you would consider to be virtue. My sister, there is no escaping judgment. The faculty of judgment or differentiation between various characteristics is part and parcel of the human personality. In an entity which has not yet chosen its polarity of service to others or service to self, the faculty of judgment is largely wasted, because that judgment is not questioned. As the parents taught, so the child thinks. As the society teaches, so the person thinks. As the companies give advertisements, so the consumer thinks. Judgment is infinite. And yet it goes nowhere for it is not questioned, and it is not used except as a bat to hit at that which is other than that which the person has been taught to think is good.

In one who is aware, and alert, and attentive the function of judgment in human experience is to bring from the hall of mirrors a thought to be used as grist for the mill. The seeking entity gazes upon that judgment and asks itself, “Where is the Love in this thought?” For there is Love in every corner, cranny, and nook of creation.

That question takes the seeking spirit on many wondrous side trips. Indeed, the entire hall of mirrors around you is designed for nothing as much as to give you opportunities to feel things, to react and respond to things, so that you have something to chew on, you have decisions to make, you have, shall we say, judgments to hand down to yourself.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yeah. I guess, just one more thing. I accept Jesus as my personal savior, and yet I have never had the slightest desire to inflict this on anyone who thought it was an infliction instead of a joy, because—I don’t know, I just didn’t expect anybody else to fall in line with me just because of what I thought. Is there something missing in my makeup or what? That’s what I haven’t been able to figure out is, what is it that I’m missing that causes other people who are also Christians to do this thing, and I never have any desire to do it—called judgment?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Each path attempts to aid the seeker in learning the lessons of your illusion. All lessons have Love and acceptance, compassion and understanding as their heart. Whatever the seeker, whatever the path, Love and acceptance are those goals which are sought. Some have achieved a greater reward for their efforts than others, and reflect the Love and acceptance they have found by truly loving and accepting others no matter what their manifestations of seeking.

Love and acceptance have as their polar opposites judgment and separation. It is a continuum, a path, a journey. Those who express the judgment are at the beginning of this journey, however their means of journeying. Those who refuse to judge and who instead Love and accept have traveled further this path.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: One more thing. Everything involved with judgment that can be found in the same book as the words, “Judge not that you be not judges,” all the things about, “Accept me or you’ll really be gnashing your teeth,” and all that, it’s all in the same book. There was an inspired reason for this book to be collected and saved over so many thousands of years, and for such mutually exclusive material to be in the same book. What was it?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The reason, my sister, is that this book, for those on your planet, for a great majority of them, reflects that which is sought. It has been called for in such and such a manner, And it has, therefore, been collected, and contains, as you are aware, a mixture of the positive and negative polarities, as both have been called for, and does therefore present the confusions and the riddles which the pure seeker might find strength of spirit in solving. This is true for each of what you have called religions, for it is true of the peoples of your planet.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, Latwii. That bunch of answers really smoothes everything out. Thank you so much.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my sister, for without your sincere queries we would be silent. May we attempt another query?

L: I’d like to ask a question on G’s behalf. A couple of weeks ago she heard a television or radio report that several instances had occurred, I believe in Germany, in which a hitchhiker was picked up on the road at night, after traveling with the driver of the auto for a period of time and told the driver that the hitchhiker was the archangel Gabriel, and had appeared for the purpose of issuing a warning that the world was to come to an end, I believe, in the year 1984. And as the story went, the hitchhiker promptly disappeared from there within the car. To reiterate, this supposedly happened on a number of occasions within apparently a few days. Would you like to comment on this?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that there are among your people at this time many such occurrences such as this of which you speak. Not only do entities of your planet receive messages in what might be called the first person presence of another self, but also through instruments using the telepathic and trance channeling. And by other means as well, for as you know, there are those of negative polarity which speak the words of doom in order that the fear which is generated by them might be gathered and used to gain the mastery and power over others which will lend efficiency in the negative polarization.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes, if you are capable of answering this. The entity which I described, do you have any knowledge as to whether this entity was of a service-to-self or service-to-others polarity, and second, if you’re capable of answering, again, either way, was there any significance to the date 1984, as it has certain emotional connotations to most of the Western world?

I am Latwii. To answer the latter portion of your query first, the significance is as you mentioned. It has the proper connotative qualities to promote the emotions of fear. The entities upon your planet hearing this type of information may then discern for themselves the polarity, for where there is the speaking of doom, of fear, of doubt, then there is the negative coloration. Where there is the speaking purely of joy, of peace, of love, of brotherhood and sisterhood, then there is the evidence of positive polarity.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes, one more question in a more philosophical vein. To paraphrase another speaker, “By their words you shall know them,” it’s fairly obvious by the content of a person’s message what their orientation is as far as their polarity. Yet, it puzzles me that although some messages appear to be originating from a service-to-others source that often appears to be Confederation, very often the Confederation seems reluctant to admit being the originator of such communications, and it seems that there must be more than modesty involved in this. Could you speak on that topic please?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. The reason for such modesty, shall we say, is that free will must be maintained. Many entities begin to receive a positive contact of Confederation origin and then attract the temptations of negative entities as a balance. When such entities are unaware of the necessity for maintaining what you have called the tuning in the positive sense, and fall prey to the temptations to glorify the self or the organization in any way, then the inroads might be made by the negative entities in polluting the contact. Even when this occurs, the negative entities find it necessary to utilize a major portion of positively-oriented information, putting the twist of service-to-self polarity here and there, so that little by little the positive message becomes tainted and the organization becomes less and less able to share in the service-to-others sense.

When this occurs, it is usually not recognized by the entities to which it has occurred. Therefore, their confusion must be maintained and no clear speaking by entities of the Confederation may be allowed, for the confusion presents the opportunity to grow and such opportunities are treasures for those experiencing the surrounding confusion, and must be preserved for the growth of such entities.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No, thank you, that very greatly clarified it. Thank you very much.

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

Carla: Yeah. I’ve got a question, now that you mention it, now that L mentioned it. Was our group about 1975—you can just confirm this or tell me that you can’t answer it—I have the feeling that all of 1975 or so, our group was getting pretty polluted information. We went through a whole year or so of getting fairly specific information. And then again about, somewhere in 1980, we went through a few months of that. Did we go through those seasons and then just survive by persevering? Is that true?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that there is some limit to what we might say in this regard. It has been the case that in your more distant past there have been instances where there have been momentary lapses, shall we say, in the polarity of service to others. The temptations were offered and the interests turned from philosophy and the evolution of the soul to the specific and glamorous, shall we say, gathering of information concerning dates and catastrophes.

In other cases, there has been the straining to the limits of acceptability of the contact of the Confederation which has been asked query upon query concerning this same general type of information. Confederation contacts are able to respond to a certain degree to this type of query, always adding the notation of its unimportance so that the questioners might re-evaluate their desires. When such queries do not contain such notations of unimportance, one may then be aware that the possibility exists that the contact is no longer of Confederation origin.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you. I believe I perceive the heart of your reply.

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

M2: Yes, Latwii. Why is it some people are so frightened of death and other people are so accepting?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. For each entity there is the reason. To reply in broad terms for the masses of people upon your planet would be a great distortion, for each entity is quite aware of the phenomenon of death, and has either a general type of acceptance or avoidance of that concept. Some fear the death only because it is a great mystery, and the unknown often causes entities to find fear within themselves. Some fear the death because they have not yet learned to live, and have not yet learned what they came to live for, and are aware that the death shall come surely, and perhaps they shall not be ready. Some gladly accept their own physical departure from your illusion, for its catalyst weighs heavily upon their shoulders and they yearn only for rest. Some welcome the death because they seek another adventure and feel certain that death shall bring it. For each within your illusion there is some response to life and to death. Each is unique.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M2: Yes. Is there correlation between the way a person lives and the way they die? What I mean is, if a person dies, say, accidentally, is there any correlation between the way they lived and the accidental death?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To begin, may we suggest that there are no accidents. Many deaths appear accidentally, as many experiences appear random. This is because the grand design of your life patterns is greatly hidden from your view. Within your illusion this is necessary so that lessons might be learned with greater efficiency, for in truth all are one, and Love is the heart of each. Yet to learn these lessons there must be the forgetting and the limiting of the view. The means of the passing from this illusion is chosen by each with variations also chosen should certain circumstances come to pass in such and such a fashion. Therefore, the correlation between the life and the death is most clearly seen when it is seen that both are chosen as means for learning the lessons of Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M2: No, thank you. That’s very helpful.

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

L: I have another question. I have recently read a couple of books that are autobiographical accounts of a Tibetan lama’s life. There are parts in it that interest me very much concerning previous history on our planet. I also realized, though, that it may not be possible for you to answer whether those parts are true or not, because it may cast some doubt upon the accuracy of the rest of the individual’s statements if I am told that he is not telling the truth. Is it at all possible for you to verify whether certain segments in the text are true or not?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. May we suggest that such recapitulations of the history of your planet are frequently in some degree of what you might call error, for it is most difficult for entities both within your illusion and without your illusion to see clearly the great panorama of events which have pieced the puzzles of your existence together in what seems to be a linear progression of evolution. Many see the basic fabric of the evolution of your people, the cultures which have grown, and flourished, and died, the experiences which have been shared by entities throughout the various countries and times, but then in the specific rendering of this or that instances, especially concerning famous personalities, may find that the clear description is quite difficult to render, for to look into what you call your distant past to discover an event might require the discernment of whether the event finally discovered occurred within the space/time or time/space continuum, or whether the entities involved truly interacted in the manner which is viewed, for there are multiple planes of interaction that are called into activation whenever any activity is undertaken, and when viewed from certain levels of existence, the events became somewhat blurred as to their place or plane of origin. To speak as to the accuracy of these particular books would not be proper, in our estimation. Therefore, we share with you these general thoughts.

L asked: “I have another question. I have recently read a couple of books that are autobiographical accounts of a Tibetan lama’s life.

On October 14, 2005, Q’uo spoke about our possible planes of origin:

If, on the other hand, you have stopped at a point that is further than third density, whether it be fourth, fifth, or sixth density, then it may be assumed that that location is your embarkation point for your next incarnation. It may be that you will not move back to your previous destination, in other words, that destination from which you came to offer yourself to service upon planet Earth. It may be that there will be incarnations that simply rebuild and rebalance parts of yourself that in some way were damaged during the sometimes very rough and tumble processes of third-density incarnation.

In the end, when all impediments to your returning to your place of origin have been met and balanced, you and your guidance system, or your higher self as this instrument calls it, will then do the same kind of thinking and planning that we were speaking of an entity doing in third density when they do not get to graduate and when they are simply planning their next incarnation.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: There were two specific locations he described, one being a large city for the most part encased in a glacier, the second being a large cave which contained machinery and a device which acted as a mental dome projector, if you will, showing the creation of that cave and the purpose of its creation as a storage facility. Would it be possible for you to verify whether those two things exist or not? A “yes” or “no” will be fine.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. That such exists is quite possible; since they have been described, they must therefore exist within some realm of being.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No. Simply thank you for allowing me to try your patience.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my brother, and our patience is endless. May we answer yet another query?

J: I have a question concerning something that I’ve experienced ever since I was a child, and in talking with a friend I have discovered that she has also experienced this: a sort of energy discharge, a sense of electrical impulse almost, traveling sometimes through the back of my head or through my whole body, and it has the sense of a kind of release with it. Sometimes it happens during stress or during fatigue, and I’m wondering if it means something, or what it is. Can you just talk to me about this?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, we must speak in general terms, for such an experience as you describe does have its significance in your seeking and your being. Each entity has an unique configuration or pattern of beingness which is expressed in equally unique manners. As you travel through this illusion, you gather an energy or momentum which might be equated to the processing of catalyst into experience so that your seeking becomes more refined. There is in this process the necessity of discharging, shall we say, certain accumulated energies which are a natural by-product of the seeking, the processing, and the manifesting of experience, and this is necessary so that the channels of perceptions might be kept clear and might efficiently function.

Would it then be possible for the entity to continue the seeking were the energies not discharged? This would be difficult. Therefore, each entity has an unique means of clearing the channels of perception so that further learning might occur.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Would I be incorrect in guessing that this may have something to do with unblocking energy centers?

I am Latwii. My sister, this is in quite general terms correct, for the unblocking of the energy centers is equal to the process of evolution and the purpose for each incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Yes, on a different topic. Is it possible that there are people living now, entities in separate bodies, living separate experiences, who at one time shared a single life, a single body?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is possible, for some entities are the children, shall we say, of the same higher self or oversoul, as others have described this great being to which each is connected. Some entities join portions of what might be seen as their own self in various incarnational patterns so that experience might be gained in yet another manner that is deemed proper by the higher self.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: No. I can’t think of another question I can ask about it, but—so, I’ll have to think about that. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister. This instrument has some depletion of energies at this time. Therefore, might we suggest a final query before we depart this group.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I drove to Walgreen’s Drug Store to drop off a prescription, and I bought some Kleenexes, Dove Soap, and two pints of Hagan Das vanilla ice cream. After I got home found the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “In recognizing God as individual being, we are recognizing infinity at the center of our own being, an infinity which we can permit to flow out from us to the world. The very moment, however, that a thought of getting, acquiring, demonstrating, or achieving anything enters our thoughts, we block or prevent this infinity from escaping. When we recognize that we are but the instrument for Its entrance into human consciousness, then we carry with us the spiritual, holy atmosphere of the allness of God within our very being. Without a trace of egotism, with no desire for personal glory or profit, we realize that anyone, anywhere, who in sincerity comes to us for God’s grace, can receive it. God’s grace is a sufficiency unto the situation—not our knowledge or possessions. Then in peace and in quietness the flow begins to pour out from us as warmth, as release, as joy. To be able to be still and know that the I of us is God, that that God is our individual being—interior selfhood, internal nature, character, and quality—and that all that God is, is flowing out from us into visible manifestation and expression as us, automatically sets us free.

When our relationship to God is established, we can travel the world over without purse and without scrip. We can begin each and every day anew with nothing, and in a short time find our every need fulfilled. We, humanly, shall not be trying to acquire it or achieve it, but we shall be living the principle:

God is my individual being: All that God is, I am; all that God hath I embodied within my consciousness. It does not come to me; I am but the instrument through which it flows to those who are not yet aware of this great truth of their relationship to God.

This afternoon I used Huff and Puff to see if I could blow the snow, that had some ice in the middle of it, from the garage to the fishpond. But I discovered that when the light rain fell two days ago on three inches of snow made it impossible to blow the total of six inches of snow off of what I had hoped to be a path to the fishpond.

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

January 26

Discrimination

I am the consciousness of Love, the full principle of the creative Love of Jesus Christ, the exemplar to a torn world of the whole and shining garment of Light that is the creation.

Many false prophets have spoken and been heard throughout the ages of humankind, and many now are among you. We who wish to create opportunities for enhanced growth of Spirit within the hearts of all people wish nothing more than to join hands and hearts in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ for the transformation of your rounded world into a sphere which manifests the Light which lies within it.

Yet would we rather urge discrimination of the most fastidious kind than acts of faith without judgment. For though we do not ask that you judge your actions or those of others in such a way that you cripple yourself with guilt or anger, nevertheless we do request that the full use of your powers of discrimination be used in listening to any words, however wonderful the source may seem. For if we have miracles between our lines, that shall become apparent to you who ponder these poor thoughts which we offer in the service of Love.

May you go your way 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 October 3, 1982:

(M1 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. We greet you with the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. If you need an example of something that is at peace with its environment, think of a cloud floating along on gentle breezes, blown by every wind, rained on, made fresh again, gets where it’s going, at peace with its environment. When you seem to be scurrying and at odds with the things around you, think of yourself as a floating cloud. This will help you see that there is meant to be harmony in all things. Try to feel in your harmony in harmony with your God. Problems will not seem as acute, more as an ongoing thing, as weeds in a flower garden, as rain in the sky. Get the feeling of oneness. This will help you, people, and animals around you feel your serenity. It will not solve your problems, but it will give you a harmony with them. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again through this instrument in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. It is our joy to speak through each instrument, and we respect the always courteous portion of the one known as A, and the one known as M2 as they each wish to allow others the opportunity to exercise their channel. At the risk of sounding repetitious, we would point out to each the ultimate difficulty of such an overwhelming courtesy. However, we are inclined to allow these developing channels the opportunity to feel with more and more certainty when we wish to speak through one or the other. It is very seldom that we shift our communication to more than one instrument at a time, and when the parallel activation is done, it is for the purpose of confirmation. Therefore, we will leave this instrument for a time and once again offer to one but not both of these instruments an opportunity which may be taken at this time to speak a few words. We will then gladly confirm through this instrument the intention which we had. I am Hatonn.

(M2 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am at last with this instrument. We are pleased at an opportunity to work briefly with this instrument as we are pleased at the opportunity to share this time with each that is here tonight. We would speak on a topic we have spoken on many times in your gatherings, the topic of Love, which is essentially intertwined in everything that we bring to share with you. Love for one another, Love of a country, for your world, and of course, an important Love you must have for yourself. When we speak of a Love for oneself, we wish to express the importance of one appreciating themselves, their essence, as being one with the Creator, for if one cannot fully appreciate their true essence, are they not handicapped in their desires to spread the Creator’s Love to all that is around them? For without that appreciation by which you value the self can one have the strong faith that in turn accounts for the strong will which is so important a driving force in spreading that Love you wish to share with those around you?

My friends, each of you are indeed the Creator. We have spoken this to you many times before, and yet it seems to be a concept which you hear but do not fully believe. You seem to look at yourself as all too often an insignificant, unable, weak, small factor in the things that go on around you. My friends, the things, the events, the experience that occurs around you is truly your own creation. From the smallest grain of sand on the seaside to the multitudes, it is all your creation, certainly not the work of an insignificant entity or another faceless soul, just one among the masses. Recognize, my friends, the gift the Creator has bestowed upon you. Be one with the essence of unlimited abilities the Creator has bestowed upon you and at the same time, the opportunity to limit yourself. Each of you is truly a treasure, a masterpiece, a consummation of all the greatness of your imaginations and beyond. A difficult concept for you in the confines of this illusion, but all the same, a very real opportunity for each who struggles by themselves.

We will transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again in Love and Light, speaking briefly through this instrument only, and to use this instrument as vehicle for confirmation both of the direction of our intention and of the subject matter. We are pleased that the confidence of the instruments begins to become set in ways of a realization of service, for in truth, as we move about the group with its several channels, the normal courtesy of awaiting a turn and of listening for others should be laid aside so that the tuning may be more and more precise. Then when the signal comes to you, each channel may pick it up and receive it. Thus, each indeed will take the turn but the flow of communication will be unfettered and much stronger for this confidence.

We would proceed, using other channels at this time, and again we ask, as you feel our contact, please feel free to speak, knowing that we speak through only one at a time, and do not, shall we say, put our contact up for grabs, but rather attempt to move from instrument to instrument in such a way that our very simple message may be given the most beautiful and rich interpretation of which we are capable.

We would now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(A channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you once again, and we shall speak briefly through this instrument, for that is her desire. To continue on our previous message, we shall add these few words. Desire to find peace with yourself while you are walking along the path. For when you are at peace, you will be at your center where you can see your own Light so that you might bring forth to others more fully.

We shall now leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument and again greet you in the Light and the Love of the infinite Creator. It has been a joy to listen to your animated conversations tonight. However, we would add one bit of warning which all of you know can’t be repeated too often. As has been indicated through the one known as M2, you are all creators. And as you very well know, negative thoughts create, just the same as the positive ones. And when you find yourselves dwelling on the negative thoughts of yourself or others, it would be well to remember that you are the Creator. Just stopping long enough to remember that we are creators reminds us again of the path we should follow. Indeed, my friends, life can be beautiful. It can be harmonious as you learn how to create your own harmony and beauty. However, we would add one further word. The essence of each of us is harmony and beauty and peace, but your illusion makes it difficult for you to keep this in mind at all times.

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

(Carla channeling)

I am Latwii. First Hatonn speaks soberly through this instrument about reluctant channels, and then this channel is reluctant. Well, my friends, we still greet you most joyously in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. How joyful, how wonderful, how lovely it is to be with you. We are so pleased to be able to use this instrument for a word or two before receiving questions. We sense, my friends, that there is a point which wisdom seeks within you this evening. Therefore, we are called in a general way, and so we shall share our humble thoughts with you, reminding you that we are but poor fools, and our mummery is but the shabbiest of words covering the nakedness of our ignorance of the ultimate truth. However, what little we know we share with the utmost pleasure.

We are aware, my friends, that each of you has desired to know what it is that you shall do in response to your great and precious knowledge. How shall you be the givers of yourselves? How shall you share? Well, my friends, if we were speaking of your money, we could simply say give such and such an amount, give such and such a percentage. For in your world, is it not easy to think in terms of quantity, and in your life, do you not often judge yourself by the quantity of your actions? Let us examine, my friends, what it is that you have to share. It is written in your holy works that that which you have is like a tiny bit of yeast, which put in a large amount of grain leavened the whole. It was not a great quantity that the one known as Jesus discussed in His teaching. It was a very small amount. But it was a very small amount of the proper quality.

What you have to share is a quality, not a quantity. Those who love want to do much, but they must first understand that the work of Love is infinite. You cannot do a great deal of infinite work or a small amount of infinite work. You do infinite work. Now, my friends, to business, then! How do you do infinite work of a certain quality? You are not all alike. This, our brothers and sisters of Hatonn have spoken of. Each has a totally unique radiance, and that is the quality that you have to give. You do not all have equal gifts. Yet each gift is most blessed, and that gift, whatever it may be, is the quality that you have to give. Therefore, my friends, before you share that leaven of hope, of praise, of joy, of faith, of Light, of Love, allow that second of silent opening within, that prayer which is so simple, my friends. Not my will, but My will, O Creator, the will of me as You, be done. Not the little self, but the great Self. Open me, use me. This is the prayer, this is the hope, this is the faith.

In this session Latwii spoke about how we can share our spiritual gifts with each other. They began by saying we are aware that each of you has desired to know what it is that you shall do in response to your precious knowledge, and: “How shall you be the givers of yourselves? How shall you share?If we were speaking of your money, we could say give such an amount, for in your world is it not easy to think in terms of quantity, and in your life, do you not often judge yourself by the quantity of your actions?” Then Latwii said let us examine what it is that you have to share, for it is written in your Bible that which you have is like a tiny bit of yeast, which put in a large amount of grain, leavens the whole, but it was not a great quantity that Jesus discussed in His teaching, so it was a small amount, but it was a small amount of the proper quality. Latwii continued by saying what you have to share is a quality, not a quantity, and those who Love want to do much, but they must first understand that the work of Love is infinite, but you cannot do a great deal of infinite work or a small amount of infinite work, for you do infinite work so: “How do you do infinite work of a certain quality?” Now Latwii said you are not all alike which our brothers and sisters of Hatonn have spoken of, for each has an unique radiance, and that is the quality that you have to give, but you do not all have equal gifts, yet each gift is blessed, and that gift is the quality that you have to give, so before you share that leaven of joy, faith, Light, and Love allow that second of silent opening within, that prayer which is so simple: Not my will, but Thy will, O Creator, the will of me as You, be done. Not the little self, but the Great Self. Open me, use me. Then Latwii said this is the prayer, and this is the faith. In 75.14, Ra described the nature of the work of Love:

When the entity Jehoshua decided to return to the location called Jerusalem for the holy days of its people, it turned from work mixing Love and Wisdom and embraced martyrdom, which is the work of Love without Wisdom.

It only takes a fraction of a second, my friends, and in that fraction of a second, you may well exchange quantity for quality. Your people hurry and scurry. Our brother, Hatonn, points us to the clouds of your planet. What quality of radiance awaits you in the center of your effortless perfect being? And under what bushel of busyness and quantity do you hide that radiance? Much has been given you, my brothers and my sisters. You are very close to the kingdom you desire. All that is precious lies just beyond the illusion of the door. Meditation is a key, prayer another. Now may you rejoice and shine forth your light in a dark world that all who come unto you may feel the healing. But let it not be effortful or burdensome or difficult. Let it be that which is done so that no one shall know. Let your light shine so that the kingdom is revealed, not you. Perhaps the most difficult thing for a pilgrim to do is to discover how to get out of the way of that great and abiding flame of Love. Let it burn through you, never from you.

Then Latwii said it only takes a fraction of a second, and in that fraction of a second, you may exchange quantity for quality, and your people hurry and scurry, so our brother, Hatonn, points us to the clouds of your planet, so: ”What quality of radiance awaits you in the center of your effortless perfect being? And under what bushel of busyness and quantity do you hide that radiance?” Then Latwii said much has been given you, for you are very close to the kingdom you desire, for all that is precious lies just beyond the illusion of the door, so meditation is a key, prayer another, and now may you rejoice and shine forth your Light in a dark world that all who come unto you may feel the healing, but let it not be difficult, so let it be that which is done so that no one shall know, and let your Light shine so that the kingdom is revealed, not you, for the most difficult thing for a pilgrim to do is to discover how to get out of the way of that great and abiding flame of Love, and let it burn through you, never from you. On March 20, 2020, Q’uo described the kingdom of heaven:

Each spiritual seeker within this third-density illusion most usually will begin the seeking process at a very basic level of expression. The desires that are expressed by the beginning spiritual seeker are those that you have mentioned, that are more, shall we say, ordinary or mundane, in the desire for food, for shelter, for companionship, for a profession, for a means by which to appreciate the creation about one. This is a normal progression.

We suggest, however, that when it is finally realized by any conscious seeker of truth that to desire the highest within one’s realm of comprehension the spiritual journey (the union with the One Creator, the service of all, therefore seeking first the kingdom of heaven) allows all else to be added unto one. Yet this seeking of the kingdom of heaven, shall we say, is that which is sustenance itself, is relative and appropriate, is enough for any seeker, for there will be added unto such seeking all else that is necessary for the survival and movement forward of the seeker.

All seekers of truth will eventually become enamored of more than just the ordinary round of activities in the mundane world that seem to hold some relevance on the spiritual path. Eventually, each seeker will realize that there is only one true goal for any aspirant of the spiritual path, and that is to know and reflect the One Infinite Creator that exists within each entity, awaiting discovery by each entity of its existence. There is nothing but the One Creator within all the creation. All the creation has been made by the One Creator out of the One Creator, in order that the One Creator may know Itself through every individual seeker of truth, and that every individual seeker of truth may eventually know the self as the One Creator.

We shall now put you atop the clouds of our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, and let you float merrily there, thinking your thoughts and perhaps asking a few questions if you would. To this end, we thank this instrument, reluctant though she was, and would at this time transfer to one who does us great service, for which we are forever grateful. I am Latwii.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and greet you once again in Love and Light. We are now honored to offer our humble selves in the capacity of attempting response to your queries. May we ask then if there might be a query?

M1: I have one, Latwii. What is the principle behind identical twins or identical triplets?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In the case of the births of entities of what you would call the identical nature there is the incarnation of entities of the exact vibrational frequency which have chosen to play out certain patterns of interrelationships which have developed over great periods of what you call time and through many of what you call the incarnations …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am with this instrument once again. Such entities have experienced a great portion of their existence in a shared manner so that it becomes appropriate at a certain time, so to speak, to make that shared experience complete. In such a situation it is then determined that what is called the birth of twins, triplets, and so forth of an identical nature might be appropriate and is then undertaken. The underlying reason for this, to summarize, is the completion of a pattern of existence which has been chosen by free will by entities which have found a mutual comradeship and learning possible in an intensified manner with an other or others. And this journey is then manifested in such and such a manner.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M1: Thank you. I do have another question. What causes people to go to excesses, whether it’s overeating, or drinking, or drugs, or overworking, or any other form of excesses?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To reply most accurately to such a query, we find that our response may seem much too simplistic. But it might be said that any entity which exhibits great distortion in any direction is either attempting to balance the opposite bias or is attempting to develop a certain bias which then may itself be balanced. This is the plan of the Creator for the gathering of experience. It might also be suggested that for some entities there is the momentary difficulty in developing the desired bias, and what might be called an overreaction to the halting of progress might then also be developed as a bias which was not the primary intention. Nevertheless, each bias provides the opportunity for balance and each balance the opportunity for experience.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M1: I’m not exactly sure. Do you mean that they deliberately go in a certain direction or that their personality is out of sync at that particular time and they are not entirely aware of what they are doing?

I am Latwii, and to clarify our previous response, may we suggest that before the incarnation, certain lessons, which might be called biases, are determined appropriate for that incarnation. These biases may appear during the incarnation to be in excess. There might also be the free will choice of the entity during the incarnation, unaware of the pre-incarnative choice, to respond to the developing bias in yet another overblown fashion, shall we say. Each action, whether determined before the incarnation or during the incarnation provides a bias, whether great or small, which then must needs be balanced by its opposite bias. Such balancing then aids in the gathering of experience, and this experience is the reason for the incarnation itself.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M1: No, I think you’ve answered it, but it seems like I have a lot of questions. I’ve got a third one. When test tube babies are formed, does that interfere with their normal progression?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Within the bounds of your illusion, such would seem the case, for the great majority of entities which enter your illusion do so in a manner which is quite unlike that you have described and would seem then to be quite homogeneous. In some respects, of course, this is quite correct. But we might also note that each entity’s entrance into the illusion which you now inhabit is quite unique. Some who enter your illusion do not actually inhabit the physical vehicle of the fetus for some period of what you call time, choosing to enter at the last moment, shall we say, when birth has occurred, and some even after that event, as well. If an entity should, therefore, decide to enter your illusion, a method for its entering shall be made available. This method might include what has recently been developed by your scientists, that being the test tube entrance. This does provide a certain framework within which the new entity then begins the incarnation. That it is different from most others is undeniably correct. That most others are homogeneous is not correct, for all are quite unique. Each entity is provided the precise requirements to proceed with the incarnation before it.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M1: No, I think you’ve answered that question, but it’s brought up a fourth one. When babies are aborted, are they usually inhabited by an entity, or are they babies which no entity has inhabited?

I am Latwii. To speak again to the heart of this query, we must again note that there cannot be a general statement which is adequate. Some entities need only the briefest of experiences of a certain nature within your illusion, and are with the vehicle which has been, as you have described, aborted. A larger majority, shall we say, of these aborted physical vehicles are not inhabited, for it is known that they shall not reach your illusion, shall we say.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M1: No, that’s fine. You’ve given me a lot of good answers.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister, for your excellent queries. May we ask if there might be another query at this time?

K: I’d like to follow up on the last question just a little bit. Are you saying then that although a fetus is beginning to grow, it is not really alive with the soul yet in some cases?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is not a simple query with which a response can easily be matched. In one sense the entire creation is alive and sings with the Spirit of the one Creator. There is no portion that does not have this Spirit.

And it is also true in another sense that when an entity known as a fetus is housed within its mother’s womb, there is often the absence of the enlivening mind/body/spirit complex which is common among your people, and without which the fetus would not appear to be human, as you call it, but without which, in rare instances, the physical vehicle of the orange ray may yet function. In some cases, this fetus does, indeed, contain the mind/body/spirit complex which gives its coloration of humanity, as you call it, for it has been determined by the incarnating entity that an early, as you might call it, entrance into this fetus is useful for the beginning of the lessons of this incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Is a child ever born without that whole complex, and receives it afterwards?

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

K: No, thank you, that’s fine.

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

Carla: Are there ever borderline cases where a mother and a child may have an agreement before the incarnation of both to have a life together, and then the mother finds herself in a position where the public ethic is not useful to her, and the private ethic is basically unknown, and so she wavers a great deal and finally ends up aborting—so that the fetus is occupied—and then when it is observed that birth is not going to be possible, the mind/body/spirit complex simply leaves and awaits another opportunity. Is that ever possible so that it’s sort of yes and no sometimes instead of just sometimes yes and sometimes no?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. You have correctly assumed that before each incarnation agreements are made. The agreements made, shall we say, are not ironclad. There are in many cases contingency plans, as you might call them, which recognize the ever-changing nature of what you call your future as free will exerts its force within your illusion. If certain boundaries or parameters of the incarnation in its beginning are met, then it is begun as planned. If there is a significant change in such boundaries, then there might be the decision to take an alternative route for entry into the illusion, and an alternative means of joining the relationship with the one already within the illusion. Though this is somewhat unusual, it is ever possible.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, I’m very interested in this subject. Along with almost everybody, I suppose, I have instinctive feelings about whether abortion is right or not. The debate runs high on that one and discarding the concept of sin, I would take up the concept of karma. Is it ever possible that by aborting a child with whom one has made a very careful agreement, one may—a mother may collect the karma which is simply the promise for future—so it’s missed this time, but there will be another lifetime in which that relationship will be worked out. Is it ever that inevitable, or is it freer than that?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To speak of that known as karma is to use a term which has, among many of your people, an emotional impact which we do not desire to invoke. We would, however, suggest that entities which engage in an agreement which is then altered by the activity known as abortion will at some point within that incarnation or another complete that agreement which has been made. The ability of entities upon your planet to utilize what you have called abortion adds yet another variable to entities which are deciding upon the means of relating one to another and of beginning the incarnation. Within your illusion there is an infinite variety of such considerations which must be taken into account by each entity before the incarnation. Thus, the addition of one more variable does have its effect, and this effect may or may not be profound. It is, however, considered by each entity before the incarnation begins and does, as does each consideration, have certain repercussions which then must be balanced.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Only to confirm that this would be the answer which you would also give to questions about voluntary birth control and voluntary sterilization?

I am Latwii. My sister, this is quite correct, as would such items within your illusion as the transportation by your various vehicles and their likelihood of collision and subsequent passing from the incarnation, as would the various chemicals and drugs utilized by those whom you call healers, as would the great variety of means of interacting which your game sports provide, as indeed would each activity which is available within your illusion provide the need for an entity entering your illusion to consider its impact upon the incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, because that last, although general, didn’t get to what I wanted to find out. There are many more women, I think, that are simply very careful not to have children for one reason or another than have abortions. My question was whether there was a possibility that the same karma, to use a non-emotional form of this word, might be caused by being voluntarily sterilized or using voluntary birth control when a woman had forgotten that she had agreed before incarnation to be in a mother and child relationship with another entity who is then unable to enter. What I’m trying to do is get to the heart of all of the nonsense that has been spoken on both sides about—not just abortion but birth control, so I’d like to find out if there is an actual amount of, shall we say, delay or damage that one can do by birth control or sterilization to an entity with whom you’ve had the agreement or whether birth control is simply something that person does because that person is inwardly aware that no such agreements have been made for this period or at all. Can you get anything out of that question?

I am Latwii, and indeed, my sister, we believe we feel the heart of your query has been well expressed. We would once again respond by suggesting that there are no mistakes within your illusion. When an entity chooses to enter within your third-density illusion, it is well aware of the parameters within which it shall move, of the resources which to it shall be available. The agreements made before the incarnation are agreements made in the light of this knowledge. Therefore, there is, in truth, no action which can be undertaken by any during the incarnation which was not seen as possibilities before the incarnation began. Thus, each activity which is engaged in during the illusion does have its effect, yet each activity was also known to be a possibility before the incarnation was begun. Therefore, such actions are not undertaken in a willy-nilly fashion, shall we say. Though their effects shall be felt by those in their vicinity, these effects have also been chosen.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: So there isn’t the case where there is a child waiting and hoping to be born to a certain mother, and then it comes as a big surprise because sterilization has occurred or birth control is consistently used. You’re saying that to a certain extent this is—enough is known about the incarnations of both that this situation just doesn’t occur?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This, in general, is quite correct, though it is also a possibility that an entity awaiting the incarnation shall await that incarnation somewhat longer than originally intended. This is also a possibility which is seen by each entity which attempts to enter that illusion which you now inhabit. The great range of sight, shall we say, or the far-seeing ability which is denied to those within your illusion is that factor which resolves the great complex difficulty which an entity has in attempting to clarify just how this illusion operates. Before the incarnation, the range of sight is quite without time or space, and an entity might view into what you call the future with a great degree of clarity, and, therefore, make the necessary choices for the upcoming, as you would say, incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: I’d like to ask one more short question. I think I’ve dragged this line of questioning out long enough. Is it possible that a person could have to reincarnate instead of graduating in order to complete an agreement? In other words, stay in third density instead of going on with graduation because of a missed agreement?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we have said many times, all things are quite possible, though most activities are very difficult to generalize and to predict with certainty. All things are indeed quite possible.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii. We thank you. May we ask if there might be another question at this time?

K: Yes. Regarding the free will of the woman who chooses to abort or not to have children, is the woman exercising the same free will that she exercises when she decides to marry or not to marry, or when she decides to work or not to work? Is it a matter of exercising free will? What I’m trying to say, she’s exercising her free will in each instance in whether to abort or whether not to abort, and is there any difference in the degrees of exercising her free will?

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

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I think that answers the question. Just one other brief question. The planet is rapidly becoming overpopulated, and I think in the last session I remember that you said that people were—entities were choosing to come here at this point in time, as we call time, in order to go through the harvest. Now my question is—if I’ve got that much of it right—my question is: Are entities coming here choosing to live in poverty, because many of them are living in poverty, are they literally choosing to live in poverty until the time of harvest?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, you have stated the situation quite correctly. It is a paradox within your illusion to consider those elements of your illusion—such as the poverty, hunger, disease, pain, warfare—delicacies. Yet such existences provide an entity with the greatest of opportunities in which to learn Love in the shortest of what you call periods of time.

Therefore, as your cycle grows to an end, you will see the varieties of experience increase in all fashions, including those which within your illusion are normally seen as quite undesirable, yet within the greater framework of the progression through the densities such characteristics offer great opportunities for evolution of mind, and body, and spirit.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: So, then, some may have come here at this point just to get blown up with an atomic bomb? Is that stretching it a little too far?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is somewhat, shall we say, the case that entities would seek the traumatic experience up to a certain point. For beyond that point which you have described, there is seen the trauma to the mind/body/spirit complex which tends to break apart that complex and reduce its ability to assimilate experience, and therefore require a great period of what you would call time to be undergone in the healing and reintegration of those complexes. Therefore, it is the desire of entities entering your illusion at this time to experience as intensely as possible the opportunities for learning the lessons of Love without damaging the complexes which enable that learning to continue.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that makes sense. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We thank you very much as well. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Yes, I have one more because I’m sort of riveted on this point here. I always thought when I was a young woman that I was destined to have children, about six of them, as a matter of fact, and I never had children. The one child I ever conceived, I lost spontaneously, and I’m now sterilized voluntarily. Reluctantly, but voluntarily. And I have spent much time actually thinking about what children wanted me for their mother. And although I realized that it was completely necessary within the way I look at things now that I not have children, so that I can do the work that we’re doing, I think about those children, and I wonder how they’re doing, and if I have in some way incurred some karma because of the forgotten agreements that I made, possibly, with them. I feel sure that this is true of other women as well. Is there some way to communicate with these souls in such a way as to ask their forgiveness? And so, stop the wheel of karma?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To begin, may we suggest that you presume much that is not necessarily as you have presumed it to be. It is the case with most entities entering your illusion that parallel, if we may call them, programs of incarnation are seen as possibilities. If one choice is not taken, then another presents itself so that those lessons to be learned are available. It is quite difficult to describe to entities within your illusion the freedom and fluidity with which these choices are made and pursued. Within your illusion it is generally the case that a plan is made and undertaken and then, if an alteration is made, the changes in the outcome are easily attributable. However, before the incarnation, the range and freedom of choice is such that level upon level of agreement is made, therefore allowing for changes to occur. For though there is the ability to see into what is called your future, this ability also sees that nothing can be known for sure, that there shall be changes that, therefore, there needs to be plans for the changes. If one event occurs, then this allows another, but may disallow yet another, and so forth in an endless progression of cause and effect. Therefore, there cannot truly be said to be mistakes within any incarnation, for each has been …

[Tape ends.]

After my first meditation I noticed that about three inches of snow had fallen last night, so I used my broom to brush the snow off of the sidewalk in front of my home. But that was too much work for the broom, so I used my shovel to shovel the snow off of my next-door neighbor’s sidewalk in front of their home. Then I went to my neighbor’s driveway across the street and used the shove to shovel the snow off of part of her driveway and beside her bird feeder so I could sprinkle birdseed under her bird feeder for the squirrels and deer.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “The Bible teaches that the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Even while we are repeating such words, however, many of us still believe that God’s abundance is something separate and apart from us, and that at some point or other there is a transfer action where that which belongs to God becomes ours. This is as ludicrous as thinking that the beautiful flowers growing in our garden belong to us. All nature would laugh at such an idea. God is the source of every flower that blooms in a garden. God is the source of everything. What difference does it make whether the fullness of the Lord blooms as a flower or as a dollar? There is no point of transfer between that which is in God and that which is in us. All that is in God is in us at this very moment, because ‘I and my Father one’—God, the Father, the creative Principle, invisible; God, the Son, the visible; and God, the invisible Holy Ghost, the maintaining and sustaining influence.”

Just before lunch I went back outside and used the snow shovel to shovel two more inches of snow off the side walk in front of my home, my next-door neighbor’s sidewalk in front of their home, and then I went across the street and shoveled a path to her bird feeder.

This afternoon I went back outside and used my shovel to shovel an inch and a half of snow off of my sidewalk, my next-door neighbor’s sidewalk and part of the driveway and up to the bird feeders for my neighbor across the street.

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

January 25

Dance Upon The Road

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

The far country beckons! The mystery retreats! The road calls the weary pilgrim forward, and a new day dawns!

Let this day be the day the pilgrim kicks off the dusty shoes and dances upon the road. Let the heart be merry and light, for within winter’s dimness of day and length of night much is occurring within the body of your planet which shall be cause for great rejoicing.

Similarly, each careworn seeker is gestating within the Christed self that is born within those seeds which shall, in good time, bear fruit. It is not necessary to await the length of days, the summer’s sun, and the visible harvest, to rejoice in the fecundity of the earth and the perfection of the process of growth.

Similarly, rejoice in the process of growth within yourself and be merry this day.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from September 26, 1982:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. May we thank and bless each within this circle at this time for the privilege of being able to share our lives and our thoughts with you. The service that you render us by requesting our humble opinions is very great. We find in this group a request which is unusual for this group, and that is for a specific instrument to speak our words for some of the time, and as this instrument is willing, we are happy to comply, but would suggest to you that each instrument is equally capable of offering, each in his or her own way, the message of the one original Thought. You see, my friends, we have so little to tell you. It is extremely helpful for us to have a variety of instruments through whom we may share our thoughts, for each instrument brings to the task of speaking on a very simple subject memories, thoughts, and vocabulary peculiar to that particular entity. Therefore, cherish you each other as you channel, each in your own way, for all of you are channels, if not in the service of this particular vocal channeling, then, my friends, in whatever you do are you the channels for the infinite Creator.

My friends, it behooves us to bring before your attention at this time the great amount of excess involved in the accepted ways of your people. More specifically, the excess of supply, the excess of interpersonal politeness, and the excess of spiritual hypocrisy. How much, my friends, do you need to give you that diaphanous, unshaped and inchoate thing called happiness? What of this world’s belongings are necessary to the establishment and the perfection of your being and your seeking? How soft and how many must be your beds? How redundant your raiment? How filled your rooms within your dwellings and indeed how many rooms do you find necessary within them? Look you to the society with which you have commerce. What do you require of those to whom you have said, “I shall love you”?

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about the one original Thought. They began by saying we thank and bless each within this circle for the privilege of being able to share our lives and our thoughts with you, and the service that you render us by requesting our opinions is great, for we find in this group a request which is unusual for this group, and that is for a specific instrument to speak our words for some time, so as Carla is willing, we are happy to comply, but we would suggest to you that each instrument is equally capable of offering in his or her own way, the message of the one original Thought, for you see we have little to tell you, so it is helpful for us to have a variety of instruments through whom we may share our thoughts, for each instrument brings to the task of speaking on a simple subject memories and vocabulary peculiar to that entity, so cherish each other as you channel in your own way, for all of you are channels, if not in the service of this vocal channeling, then in whatever you do you are the channels for the infinite Creator. Hatonn continued by saying it is necessary for us to bring before your attention the great amount of excess involved in the ways of your people such as the excess of interpersonal politeness and the excess of spiritual hypocrisy, so: “How much do you need to give you that delicate, unshaped and beginning thing called happiness? What of this world’s belongings are necessary to the establishment and the perfection of your being and your seeking? How soft and how many must be your beds? How redundant your raiment? How filled your rooms within your dwellings and, indeed, how many rooms do you find necessary within them? Look you to the society with which you have commerce. What do you require of those to whom you have said, ‘I shall love you’?” On November 21, 1982, Latwii described the nature of the one original Thought:

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.

Look again, and this time with the most careful eye at those efforts, specifically spiritual, and bring upon them the blinding light of honesty. Is there any variance at all between who you are and how you act? My friends, we are not suggesting that you give up civility, that you toss out furniture and live in smaller dwellings, or that you are in any way lacking because there is some distance yet to go in learning the lessons of Love. Far from it. What we are attempting to do is give to you a perspective from which to see that the Creator does provide all that is necessary. This, however, does not necessarily include large dwelling places, a multitude of friends trained to speak well of you, or your own good opinion of yourself at all times. No, my friends. The Creator has provided you with that which you may call manna. You know the word from the holy book you call your Old Testament, and you may understand it to mean that supply without which you would no longer be able to inhabit this particular density, given that it is still your desire and your purpose to learn the lessons that you have come here to learn. The Creator has offered you an unlimited amount of love and with it you may choose the most miraculous lesson.

Yes, my friends, you may choose to Love. This is the manna of the heart. Beyond this blessing there is no provision, for this blessing is what you may call an end in itself, working by the Law of Reflection within your spiritual life, and this is indeed always the most difficult to penetrate. The Creator has provided discrimination, and this is the manna of the spirit. It is to be used against yourself. It is to be used with the understanding that all events which cause you to query your capacity for the penetration of understanding of Love involve yourself and spiritual manna is most abundant. You may work upon yourself as much as you desire and that, my friends, is the important word. What do you desire? Do you desire physical manna? The manna of the heart, the manna of the spirit? Very well, then, your path shall be made plain. With every difficulty there shall come manna, and your will and your faith shall bring you into pleasant places where the heart may rest and the soul may bide. Do you desire other? Very well, then, you shall have to disentangle yourself periodically from the added and unnecessary enjoyments that the Creator has made available for each.

Then Hatonn said look again, and this time with the careful eye at those spiritual efforts, and bring upon them the blinding light of honesty, but is there any variance between who you are and how you act? Then Hatonn said we are not suggesting that you give up civility, or that you are in any way lacking because there is some distance yet to go in learning the lessons of Love, so what we are attempting to do is give you a perspective from which to see that the Creator provides all that is necessary, but this does not include large dwelling places, a multitude of friends trained to speak well of you, or your own good opinion of yourself, for the Creator has provided you with that which you may call manna, and you know the word from the Old Testament, and you may understand it to mean that supply without which you would no longer be able to inhabit this particular density, given that it is still your desire and your purpose to learn the lessons that you have come here to learn, so the Creator has offered you an unlimited amount of Love, and with it you may choose the most miraculous lesson. Hatonn went on to say you may choose to Love, for this is the manna of the heart, but beyond this blessing there is no provision, for this blessing is what you may call an end in itself, working by the Law of Reflection within your spiritual life, and this is always the most difficult to penetrate, so the Creator has provided discrimination, and this is the manna of the spirit, and it is to be used against yourself with the understanding that all events which cause you to question your capacity for the penetration of understanding of Love involve yourself and spiritual manna are abundant, so you may work upon yourself as much as you desire, and that is the important word and: “What do you desire? Do you desire physical manna? The manna of the heart, the manna of the spirit?” Now Hatonn said your path shall be made plain, and with every difficulty there shall come manna, and your will and your faith shall bring you into pleasant places where the heart may rest and the soul may wait, and if you desire other you shall have to disentangle yourself periodically from the unnecessary enjoyments that the Creator has made available for each. On February 24, 2005, Q’uo spoke of how we may grow spiritually by using our will and our faith:

That is exactly what we are encouraging within you. It is a relaxation into the process that is ongoing. You have sharpened your will, and you have made it single-pointed. This is something that is very often a difficulty for entities, but this is that which you have done. This has made it possible for you to penetrate. You have also focused your faith and again, this has allowed you to broaden and to deepen your work. Consequently, with faith and will in hand, and with a dedication that is complete, the work of outer things may rest. What remains is an incarnation bursting with possibilities. The shape of the rest of your incarnation is not known to us. It is not known to us how those things trembling into being shall form themselves. It is only known to us that this process goes well for you, and that you may indeed relax into it and enjoy it.

There is no lack of virtue in a great house, in many friends, or in expanded ministry as you see fit to aid others. If you may see your life as a tabernacle, we ask you to understand that your life may be as capacious as you wish to make it, as complicated as you wish to make it, as busy as you wish to make it, and in no case shall any portion or detail of your life be upon anything but holy ground. Great confusions among your people come from the belief that anything except manna is worth Love. Enjoy those things which you have, but, boring as it may be, look at what the Creator has offered day by day, year by year. Always the same, my friends. You are one with the Creator. Your body has its safekeeping, your heart, the gift of Love that you may radiate with that one great original Thought of Love to the ends of the Earth, if so you burn. It is your choice. You may progress as quickly as you desire. Encourage that desire, and let the tangles out of your Light periodically through the practice of the presence of that manna. Be it a fleeting instant of awareness or a long meditation, the duration does not matter nearly so much as your desire to feel that presence, to touch the source that created in love and in light all that there is.

Hear you then, the clock strike. Say to yourself, “I have a choice, for the Creator is with me.” See you the insignificant and petty detail of living, the unwashed dish, the unraked leaf? Go about that task knowing for a moment that you are the Creator, and that all that you see is the Creator. Look at the beauty of the shining plate, the sunlit window, the pleasant smell of cleanliness. Or as you rake, observe the creation of the Creator. How can any creation be so filled with wonder, and yet you are one with all that is. Within you each leaf a miracle, and you the observer and the extension. And the one who says, “Praise and thanksgiving be to you, Creator.” My friends, we know there are challenges within your lives. That is why we are here. We wish to let you know that that is cause for rejoicing and for work and again for rejoicing.

Now Hatonn said there is no lack of virtue in a great house, in many friends, or in expanded ministry as you see fit to aid others, and if you see your life as a tabernacle, we ask you to understand that your life may be as complicated as you wish to make it, and in no case shall any portion of your life be upon anything but holy ground because confusions among your people come from the belief that anything except manna is worth Love, so enjoy those things which you have, but look at what the Creator has offered day by day, year by year, for it is always the same since you are one with the Creator, and your body has its safekeeping in your heart, the gift of Love that you may radiate with that one great original Thought of Love to the ends of the Earth, for it is your choice to progress as quickly as you desire, so encourage that desire, and let the tangles out of your Light periodically through the practice of the presence of that manna, and if it is a fleeting instant of awareness or a long meditation, the duration does not matter as much as your desire to feel that presence, to touch the source that created in Love and in Light all that there is. Now Hatonn said hear the clock strike, and say to yourself, “I have a choice, for the Creator is with me.” So, see the petty details of living: the unwashed dish, and the unraked leaf, and go about that task knowing for a moment that you are the Creator, and that all that you see is the Creator, so look at the beauty of the shining plate, the sunlit window, the pleasant smell of cleanliness, or as you rake, observe the creation of the Creator, and how can any creation be so filled with wonder, yet you are one with all that is, for within you each leaf is a miracle, and you are the observer and the one who says, “Praise and thanksgiving be to you, Creator.” Then Hatonn said we know there are challenges within your lives, for that is why we are here, so we wish to let you know that that is cause for rejoicing and for work and again for rejoicing. On February 25, 2023, Q’uo described the nature of the creation of the Creator:

There are various levels of the Logos type of entities within the One Infinite creation of the Creator of all that there is. The Primal Logos may be seen as also the Great Central Sun where the beginning of creation takes place. This Primal Logos is what you would also call the concept of Love. The concept of Love is created when the one Infinite Creator focuses Its desire to know Itself through this Love, this creative power that then becomes able to create what we call the infinite creation.

Within the infinite creation there are various other Logoi that create galaxies, such as your Milky Way Galaxy. The Logoi of each galaxy then create sub-Logoi such as your sun. Each takes part in sharing the Love, the creative power of the One Infinite Creator, with all those beings that exist upon the infinite number of planets within this infinite creation. This is the means by which the power of the Creator is recognized.

And when the Creator shines Its Love in this fashion, expressing Its free will, then the creation itself is made by the power of Love and manifests as what you call Light. The Light is that which is the enlivening feature or principle of the creation that allows the Creator to know Itself.

I am Hatonn. We have enjoyed speaking through this channel, and would like to defer now to the use of one or two others in order that each, as we have said, may offer the precious coloration of his or her being to our very simple thoughts. I now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and again I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. As we contemplate the words, “of the Light of the infinite Creator,” our mind seems to stand still momentarily because these thoughts are more than we can grasp. As you listen to the news day by day and the confusion that your planet is in, it is difficult, indeed, to keep the faith, to use an expression of yours. But, my friends, the power to live the good life is a matter of your own choice because the power of the Creator is all about you. It is like the air you breathe. It is like the silence we feel at times. Indeed, the Psalmist is right when he said, “Be still and know.” The moments that are about you oftentimes make it difficult to be still, but again I repeat, the power to live the good life, the joyful life, the peaceful life, the compassionate life is yours for the choosing. And to repeat in closing, the power is available. I am Hatonn and I now leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We speak briefly through this instrument in Love and in Light to note for the confirmation of the one known as M1 that we were indeed attempting to close through him. We shall again attempt this contact. I am Hatonn.

(M1 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. This instrument was a reluctant channel this evening because of the desire that other channels may have their opportunity to share with you our words. We are pleased to have had the opportunity to share with each of you this evening our thoughts, our philosophies, and most of all, our Love. It is a great service you do us by calling upon us, and it is a great honor, indeed, not only to speak to those who are quite familiar with our teachings but especially this evening to those who are new to us. We take this opportunity to remind and to stress to you that we of Hatonn are sharing with you our understanding that we as a planet have assimilated over a great period of what you would call time. They are our perceptions, our concepts, and are the truth to the best of our understanding. But, my friends, we are certainly fallible. We are continuing on a path of learning. So, take each morsel of teaching that we offer as food for thought. If we inspire you to think about your spiritual growth and the path you have chosen, we are honored. But take each thought, each concept, as only that, for of course it is up to each entity to choose for themselves what is truth, what is right, what is wrong, and not teacher or prophet can dictate for you your truth. For the Creator has given each of you the opportunity to choose your path for yourself, to exercise your free will, to learn your lessons as you will, to experience the opportunities for learning you wish. And we are pleased to have the opportunity to give you a fresh insight from another point of view. We leave you now 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. It is our privilege once again to be able to join your group in the capacity of attempting to answer your queries. We thank each for extending this opportunity to us. It is a joyful privilege which we always look forward to. May we ask then if there might be a question we might attempt to answer?

Carla: Well, everybody’s got questions. I hope you’ll say for the instrument when the instrument’s worn out. But I have one. First of all, I’d like to thank you very much for your presence on my walk the other day, and ask if you were aware that I was being greeted by a fifth-density negative friend, and was, therefore, attempting to either protect, or whether you were simply with me?

I am Latwii. As we perceive the heart of your query, my sister, may we say it was our privilege to join you at that time—and others as well—in response to your petition in the form of what you call prayer. For we of Latwii have the honor of serving as what you might call a comforter to various of your peoples who seek our service and our comfort.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you very much, Latwii.

I am Latwii. May we thank you, my sister, as well. Is there another question at this time?

S: Yes. Would you please address or enlarge upon the concept that we label with the word “lazy”?

I am Latwii, and find that we have been given a rather large area upon which to expound. We shall attempt to respond as best we can. Each word which your people use has some type of connotation according to its use. Within your illusion the activities of busyness and accomplishing one task, and then another, and then another, seemingly without end, are given great value. And in such tasks, there does, indeed, reside the lessons that teach Love in some form or another. Yet, to those who do not choose to behave in the manner of busying themselves as prescribed by the culture in which they reside, it is given a variety of terms, one of which you have classed that of laziness. To laze about and to relax into the essence of one’s being is frequently not valued among your people. But we ask you, my friends, is there not value in your very essence, and does that value not reside there of its own accord? Need you labor at one task or another in order to store up some form of value that represents …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am again with this instrument. To continue our thought—to those who labor without end at tasks of one sort or another would seem to fall the great value, but can the value or worth of an entity be measured in such a fashion? If such attempt is made, then what is the value of the one Creator which resides within each particle of your illusion which then does not accomplish work? Are the trees without value? Are the rivers which only flow and nourish by their beingness without value? Is the soil which does not move of its own accord without value? Is the Creator, which rejoices in Its beingness, within your beingness, without movement, therefore without value?

S asked: “Would you please address or enlarge upon the concept that we label with the word lazy?” Latwii began by saying each word which your people use has some type of connotation according to its use, so within your illusion the activities of busyness and accomplishing one task, and then another seemingly without end, are given great value, and in such tasks are the lessons that teach Love in some form or another, yet to those who do not choose to behave in the manner of busying themselves as prescribed by the culture in which they reside, it is given a variety of terms, one of which you have called laziness, for to relax into the essence of one’s being is frequently not valued among your people, but we ask you is there not value in your essence, and does that value not reside there of its own accord? Latwii continued by saying to those who labor without end at tasks of one kind or another would seem to fall into the area of great value, but: “Can the value or worth of an entity be measured in such a fashion? If such attempt is made, then what is the value of the one Creator which resides within each particle of your illusion which then does not accomplish work? Are the trees without value? Are the rivers which only flow and nourish by their beingness without value? Is the soil which does not move of its own accord without value? Is the Creator, which rejoices in Its beingness, within your beingness, without movement, therefore without value?” On October 21, 1990, Q’uo spoke about how we can deal with the concept of laziness:

However, each entity has the incarnational personality which is, relative to the soul, undisciplined and within the Earthly illusion subject to distraction, temptations, and, shall we say, some degree of laziness. Thus, it is necessary for each entity in some manner to discipline the personality.

There are various ways of doing this disciplining of the personality. There are traditions within each culture, and within each religious heritage, that have called upon those practices which you have mentioned as being most helpful for the primary, or foundation discipline, for each entity that seeks to learn those lessons that are appropriate to it and to share them then with others as a service to others and to the one Creator within all. The chanting, the use of various devotional songs, dances, and other rituals are most helpful in beginning this process of disciplining so that the expenditure of the inpouring prana, or cosmic energy, may be most efficiently accomplished, for this energy is much like the power of the water that moves through the hose. If the nozzle of the hose is turned in such a fashion as to cause the diffusion of the water to move through in a spray, there is little power achieved. However, if the nozzle or the attention is turned in such a fashion as to cause the water to move in a small, boring, forceful fashion, then there is far greater power possible to achieve with such a focus.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Thank you.

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

E: I have a question in regards to the last question, and that is, why is it then that most of our people have organized their lives so they have practically no time to spend peacefully, lazily?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find within your illusion that there has been of necessity a great forgetting. To forget the essence of one’s being, though of an infinite value, is to allow the possibility of the increase of that beingness through the gaining of the experience which comes from what you call doing or acting. Entities then by such activity express the nature of the Creator in one form or another. By this expression is distilled the essence of the Creator. This essence then feeds that beingness so that there is completed a cycle of doing and being, each balancing the other.

Within your illusion it is most common to concentrate on that which is apparent, the seeming separation of all beings, and the ability to act in an infinite variety of ways because of this seeming separation. This then allows the Creator within each entity to know Itself more fully. It then becomes the task of each individual to balance the activity with the being. It is not easy within such an intense illusion to penetrate even the simplest mysteries of being. Seldom does an entity within your illusion truly ponder the reason for its being, the purpose for its life. Yet at some time, each does this, and whether the decision is made upon a conscious or upon a subconscious level, yet each decides to act, to be, and to balance as determined before the incarnation.

E asked: “I have a question in regards to the last question, and that is, why is it then that most of our people have organized their lives so they have practically no time to spend peacefully, lazily?” Latwii replied that we find within your illusion that there has been of necessity a great forgetting, and to forget the essence of one’s being, though of an infinite value, is to allow the possibility of the increase of that beingness through the gaining of the experience which comes from what you call doing, so entities then, by such activity, express the nature of the Creator in one form or another, so by this expression is distilled the essence of the Creator, for this essence feeds that beingness so that there is completed a cycle of doing and being, each balancing the other. Then Latwii said within your illusion it is common to concentrate on the seeming separation of all beings and the ability to act in an infinite variety of ways because of this seeming separation, and this allows the Creator within each entity to know Itself more fully, and it becomes the task of each individual to balance the activity with the being, but it is not easy within such an intense illusion to penetrate even the simplest mysteries of being, for seldom does an entity within your illusion ponder the purpose for its life, yet at some time, each does this, and whether the decision is made upon a conscious or upon a subconscious level, yet each decides to act, to be, and to balance as determined before the incarnation. On June 24, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the nature of doing and being:

The one known as Frank Sinatra said it so well, “Do-be, do-be, do.” It’s a dance between doing and being and doing and being. When you take a breath in, when you give a breath out, you are being. When by mind or by instinct you take thought or action, you are doing. The difference is simplistic. Yet does the doing inform the being, or does the being inform the doing?

This instrument prays each morning, “Show me the paths that you have prepared for me to walk in.” That is doing. She prays again in the same prayer, “Help me to focus on who I am and why I’m here.” That is being.

When you move from an idea of what you should do or what you must do, you are letting your doing inform your being. When, as this instrument said earlier, you move from a point of saying, “Where is the Love in this moment?” and you take the time, whether it is an instant or a real minute, to look for that Love, to look for that point of infinite intelligence that informs the situation from the standpoint of spirit, then you have begun to see into the deeper levels of the present moment. And when your heart opens and you say, “Oh, I really see how I can be a part of that Love in this moment. I see someone who needs help,” or, “I see where a good word would make this person feel more comfortable,” then you may, perhaps, be doing something very simple, but you are coming from a point where you have centered yourself into your deeper essence.

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: No, thank you. But I’d just like to see if I have it straight. In other words, if one proceeds through life and doesn’t make any mistakes, one learns. And if one proceeds through life and makes a lot of mistakes, one learns more quickly?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would not choose the term “mistake,” but would rather see all activities as the Creator knowing Itself. For indeed, if there is only the Creator which is acting and being, can there be a mistake?

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: No, thank you.

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

A1: Yes, Latwii. I have a question for a woman who is not here. Her name is A2. She was wondering—she understood that normally answers were not offered if the question was not directly asked. So therefore, if the question was asked mentally without words, could there be any answer?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Normally this is also seen as an infringement. For to answer the query which has not been verbalized is to tread quite closely to infringing upon the free will which has not chosen to freely express itself.

May we answer you further, my sister?

No, thank you.

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

J: Yes, Latwii. I have another question from A2 also. I believe the question that she would like answered is this. Is it possible that an entity would choose a third-density experience that would be lived in a state of mental pathology for the purpose of using this experience to learn about Love and Light, and also that this experience of living with the illness continue pretty much throughout life partly also for the benefit of those others who might learn from her in the way that she handles this?

I am Latwii. We believe that we perceive the heart of your query, and we can respond by suggesting that, indeed, all things are most possible. We do not mean to sound simplistic, but look about you, my sister. Within your illusion, is there not an infinite variety of beingness exhibited within each entity? Is there not that which you call insanity, poverty, hunger, confusion, wealth, power, fame? Look about you. Recognize that each life pattern was chosen. There are no mistakes. Within your illusion is the lesson to be learned called Love. Though the lesson is simple, the means of learning it are infinite.

It may indeed be such that an entity would choose to spend an entire life mute, crippled, or in any other configuration of mind, body, and spirit that can be imagined so that Love might be learned in such and such a fashion. Each entity now incarnate upon your planet is living but a small portion of its total beingness at this time. The inertia, the accumulated experience of each entity determines the next lesson to be learned. The great variety contained within all of the infinite creation, therefore, suggests a great variety of biases to be gained and a great variety of biases to be the balances to be experienced for these biases in each incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Thank you, I believe that answers that one. Now I would like to ask for myself. Could you give me any understanding about the nature of the mental illness that is known as borderline personality?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Those of your people who study the personality, as you have called it, have many descriptions for its expression. Such descriptions are utilized because they are convenient, and allow the entities to place in certain compartments, shall we say, those variations of the personality which they study. That type of personality which has most recently been called the borderline personality is a personality which is not well understood among your people, and, therefore, the termination of this personality, or that which is more correctly called the naming of this personality is most accurate, but regards those who name rather than those who are named.

We do not by this description mean to suggest that those who study and name are in any way to be denigrated or looked down upon, but mean to suggest that the term they have chosen describes more of their inability to describe. The personality which is viewed as borderline is simply one which expresses in such a fashion as to be somewhat incomprehensible to the normal way of description. A personality which does not always reside within the normal bounds of your illusion then steps over the border or the line, shall we say, and expresses in a fashion which is comprehensible only to the deeper self of the entity so expressing.

J asked: “Could you give me any understanding about the nature of the mental illness that is known as borderline personality?” Latwii began by saying those of your people who study the personality have many descriptions for its expression, and such descriptions are utilized because they are convenient and allow the entities to place in compartments those variations of the personality which they study, so that type of personality which has recently been called the borderline personality is a personality which is not well understood among your people, and the naming of this personality is accurate, but regards those who name rather than those who are named. Latwii continued by saying we do not mean to suggest that those who study and name are in any way to be looked down upon, but we mean to suggest that the term they have chosen describes more of their inability to describe, so the personality which is viewed as borderline is one which expresses in a way as to be incomprehensible to the normal way of description, for a personality which does not reside within the normal bounds of your illusion then steps over the border and expresses in a way which is comprehensible only to the deeper self of the entity so expressing. On November 15, 1987, Q’uo described the general nature of how the personality that suffers difficulties may try to handle them:

The entity which faces the challenges within the incarnation which seem to overwhelm the ability to resolve them may, in some cases, choose to face these challenges with a smaller and smaller portion of the personality, with the larger portion choosing an alternate means of experiencing the nature of the illusion which the entity would find more able to cope with. In some cases, the entity finds the necessity of dividing the personality yet again in order that various portions of the deeper self may be allowed expression without the need to interact with other portions of the same self which are in basic conflict, each with the other, upon a certain point.

This conflict, then, is that which the entity has found it unable to resolve in the normal, shall we say, fashion. Therefore, the compartmentalizing of different portions of the personality allows the entity to express basic features of the personality without the need to bring these features into harmonious balance with other facets of the personality which are more aware of the basic conflict. Yet, in each expression there will be the distortion of the characteristics expressed that is due to the primary conflict remaining unresolved. Thus, in each personality or portion that is thusly expressed will be found a faint trace or trail that will lead to the conflict for the entity to travel eventually in order that the conflict might be harmoniously resolved.

There is not, to our knowledge, a personality or expression of personality which does not allow the entity so expressing the opportunity to learn the lessons of love. It may not be understandable in any ordinary fashion to those who view such an entity as to how such an entity might be benefiting either itself or any other by such expression which crosses the border, shall we say. Yet, within the one Creation there are no borders. Each entity is free to travel however it chooses. Most within your illusion travel in such and such a fashion and this fashion by the inertia, shall we say, and the numbers of its travelers, creates the parameters of normalcy. Yet, if each entity were closely studied, there would be found within each a portion of the personality which was not within these parameters and which had indeed crossed the border. For each entity has in its being a great variety of expression, and from time to time this expression becomes that which is not considered normal. Thus, for those entities which express in this non-normal fashion a greater percentage of their lives then is given a term such as this term of borderline personality.

Latwii went on to say there is not an expression of personality which does not allow the entity so expressing the opportunity to learn the lessons of Love because it may not be understandable in any fashion to those who view such an entity as to how such an entity might be benefiting either itself or any other by such expression which crosses the border, yet within the one Creation there are no borders, and each entity is free to travel however it chooses, but most within your illusion travel in a certain way which, with its enertia, and the numbers of its travelers, creates the parameters of normalcy, yet if each entity were closely studied, there would be found within each a portion of the personality which was not within these parameters and which had crossed the border, for each entity has a variety of expression, and from time to time this expression becomes that which is not considered normal, so for those entities which express in this non-normal fashion a greater percentage of their lives then is given a term such as this term of borderline personality. On November 22, 1992, Q’uo spoke of how we can return to normalcy by letting our fears fall away and respect our deep emotions:

Allow the normalcy of day-to-day experience to move you until the next occasion when this haunting desire for a known or an unknown person or relationship looms so largely before the conscious mind that it colors all of one’s thought. Then see this occasion as the treasure it is. Let the fears fall, let the heart speak all it wishes until its well of words and threnody of pain is fully expressed. Honor and respect the deep emotions and give them full expression. Rather than feeling them as an ending of a real life experience and only a memory allows the feelings to become living. Birth them with your awareness of the beauty of Love. You have desired truly; you have loved truly. This you have experienced. It may now be separated from the constraint of belonging to one entity and the self and become that potential for Love and for acceptance and compassion which may be universalized by being aware that this Love is an energy unto itself.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Yes, let me just try to sort that out a little more. So this, then, is unusual and perhaps not ordinary, but it seems from what you’ve said that it’s not necessarily pathological either. And from that point then, does it necessarily need to be corrected or made ordinary in the sense of being “not-different,” or “not-pathological”?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In responding most accurately, we must suggest that yes and no both be used. To an entity which is that known as pathological, it is both a service to experience in that mode, and to have others attempt to serve it by responding to it in one fashion or another. The interaction between the two serves as catalyst to teach each. Whether the entity becomes that known as normal or remains that known as pathological is of no importance. The dynamic interrelationship between such an entity and all entities surrounding it is that experience which offers the opportunity to each to learn Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: No. I guess I’m beginning to see that this is a difference just like any other disease. It offers catalyst and that’s all right. Is that about it?

I am Latwii. This is correct, and, indeed, your entire illusion may be viewed in this manner.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: Thank you, no. That’s fine.

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

K: Yes, let me just see if I can ask this a little bit different. Then we can assume that any kind of an aberration or anything that we perceive as an aberration offers an opportunity for some to express Love and others—offers the opportunity for both to learn Love. Is that right? I don’t think I said that very well. Any kind of an aberration gives each one the opportunity to learn to Love? Is that right?

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

K: So then what we see going on in the Middle East, such as the massacre, can be seen in the same light? Is that right also?

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

K: Well, I think that answers that. But I’d like to ask a question about dreams. Can one choose one’s own dreams, or do we just pick up a lot of stuff that goes on about us in our dreams, and sometimes we can do nothing about it. We just simply pick up what goes on about us? I didn’t make that very clear either, I don’t guess. Can we choose what we dream about?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is only for those which you might call the adept to choose the dream which shall be experienced, for the dream, though it has a great variety of uses, has the primary use of reflecting in symbolic form the catalyst that the entity faces in its daily life so that the entity might once again review and utilize that catalyst. To choose the dream assumes a great efficiency in the use of the catalyst. It assumes the conscious recognition upon the part of the entity so choosing that it does indeed reside within an illusion which provides a means of progress in evolution through the catalyst of daily experiences. To program, shall we say, a dream is quite like the entity programming the incarnation before entering the incarnation. This requires much ability, which does not normally begin to be recognized or accumulated by an entity while in the incarnation, but is possible.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I don’t believe so, thank you.

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

Carla: Following up on K there, I’m intrigued. There are two kinds of dreams that I have frequently enough to be noticeable. The one kind really common with everybody—I’m either teaching somebody or somebody’s teaching me, and the other one, I’m somewhere else going through Raiders of the Lost Ark kind of things, the good guys against the bad guys, or whatever, on another planet, though. I’ve never been able to tie these two particular kinds of dreams to catalyst, and the only other kind of dream that I have that doesn’t seem to be tied to catalyst is dreams where I see something happening in the future, which I’ve done a couple of times, and it has happened. So, are there also other uses for dreams besides working through the catalyst on a deeper level? And are these uses far less important?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. There are indeed a great variety of uses for dreams, none to be considered more or less valuable. The varieties which you have mentioned are examples of a perspective upon the life experience. For example, might not a life be looked at as a teaching and a learning? And does not each teach each? Look into that which is being taught for the catalyst. And as you journey through your life, might it not be seen as a great adventure? Look then to the kind of adventure you experience for the catalyst. And it is true that from time to time an entity may see that which is called the future. Indeed, there are many futures, as you may call them, and when an entity in the dreaming state experiences that experience which does then occur in what you call your future, there is a special connection which has been made between the entity and a deeper portion of itself. And the deeper mind has made available to the conscious mind an experience which shall be of especial value to this entity.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, on another subject, but first I wanted to share a terrible joke that just occurred to me. What would be another term for a bill of lading on a boxcar full of bulls? A catal-lyst.

[Giggles and groans.]

The other question I have … Sorry about that! I thought Latwii would like it. Latwii, you’re not laughing.

I am Latwii. We find ourselves convulsing in laughter.

Carla: Thank you.

We appreciate your humor, as you know. Please continue.

Carla: The other question that I had, I really wanted to pursue it a little further. Just so I could get it. I really want to get this. I understand how a healer—even if a healer fails—is learning the lessons of Love by trying to heal, by offering itself in service. But, because of the fact my mother happens to be a psychologist, I hear some really wild things about real psychopaths. And, one simple example. There’s a lady that speaks only Spanish who came into Central State Hospital five days before my mother told me the story. She was on her way out of town to a spiritual retreat, and looked a bit drawn. In that five days, this hundred and sixty pound Spanish-speaking woman, whom everybody calls C because she does nothing except dance and sing when she is not attacking people, had attacked nineteen people and put several of them in the hospital. She had not gotten around to my mother yet. There is no way, either in Spanish or in English, that anyone can cause her to focus her attention. There is no medication except megadoses of tranquilizer that will cause her to stop dancing, singing, and attacking people, which she does seemingly without any anger. She simply attacks them and attempts to kill them until someone subdues her, still singing and dancing. There is no connection. Now, we’re not talking about people that are seeing life a little differently. We’re talking about somebody who sees life a lot differently, who is not able to communicate across the boundary in any way. How is this person learning the lesson of Love? If you can’t answer this, I understand.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To begin, may we suggest that the healer never fails, but may exert an effort which has results which are different than those intended. May we also suggest that an entity such as the one you have described may indeed learn those lessons of Love in such behavior as you have described over what might be called the longer span of its beingness. For its current life experience has accumulated a certain bias which is being expressed in that behavior which is seen as quite erratic, and this bias, when viewed between what you call the incarnations by this entity in time/space, this then as a bias will teach that entity a certain lesson. This entity shall determine to take one path or another in continuing its learning of love according to the bias gained in this incarnation. Sometimes the lessons of Love come quite slowly. Yet, the progress is always made, and one incarnation might be as the grain of sand upon the beach.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: You mean even when there is apparently no motion, there is absolutely flat affect, nothing from the outside in and from the inside out, a person is learning from the experiences that it is apparently not experiencing? To some degree, in some way? A yes will do—I’ve taken up too much time.

I am Latwii: Our sister, though “yes” is our response, may we also suggest that the entity which acts within the incarnation is but a portion of itself. And though, as that portion, may have difficulty in learning from the great variety of its experiences, yet those experiences do teach Love. You may look at each incarnation as containing a great abundance of useless detail, in that the detail itself does not have value, but the detail upon detail, upon detail, creates a bias. The bias expands experience and experience teaches Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you, Latwii.

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

M: Yes, I have one. While Hatonn was with us, I had this weird feeling of floating on a cloud and looking down and looking down, and floating for a long time, and finally looking down and seeing this rather violent scene of a deserted street with either wolves or dogs growling and fighting. Does that have any meaning?

I am Latwii. My sister, we are quite pleased to see that you have pulled yourself from the hole which you inhabited upon our previous meeting.

[Laughter]

L: It was hole-arious!

Latwii: Indeed, each experience then does have a meaning, but the meaning of such must be determined by the entity so experiencing the sensation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, but I don’t think I’ll ever understand it.

I am Latwii. Do not underestimate yourself, my sister. Last week you were quite despairing of ever climbing from the hole. Next week may bring further miracles.

May we answer you further?

M: No, that’s sufficient.

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

J: Yes, Latwii. Let me try an observation, and ask you to comment on it. Now, ordinarily in third-density illusion we see people as being successful in, say, their personal evolution as we see it in third density who are healthy, organized, successful, and they’ve got it all together. Now I’m beginning to see that on a more transcendent basis there’s no real way of being able to evaluate the real personal evolution that may be going on. It is possible for a person to be experiencing a great deal of catalyst, for instance, economic misfortune, or mental illness, or physical illness, or depression, or confusion, and be at a more advanced level of evolution, or progressing, making a lot of progress or not. Is there any … well, could you comment?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, it does not matter which distortion an entity chooses. There are lessons to learn. Entities, as you are aware, are quite unique, and each does not learn in the same manner. You may view any entity’s position in your social, political, economic, or other arenas, and yet be unable to determine where upon the path of evolution that entity treads. There are, of course, the various accepted means within your culture by which an entity might be measured. It is as though the children were gathered upon the playground …

[Tape ends.]

This morning the quote from Joel Goldsmith’s book The Art of Meditation is: “It is not likely that any of us will be faced with the unusual situation of being lost on a desert, but let us never doubt for a moment that at some time or other we shall find God appears to us as manna from the sky, water from a rock, or the opening of a sea. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is the history of your life and of mine. In some degree, whatever happened to Moses will happen to us; whatever happened to Elijah, to Jesus, to John, to Paul, will, in some measure, take place in our experience. We may be in some wilderness only to learn that where we are God is, that the place whereon we stand is holy ground. The voice of the Lord will direct us in the way we should go. We shall not hear this direction if we believe that the voice of God was reserved for Jesus, Isaiah, Elijah, or Moses two or three thousand year ago. We are able to hear it only if we can accept God as one: God, the universal Father; and God, the Son.

All meditation on God is fruitless, unless we realize that what is true of God is true of us as infinite individual beings. Only as we establish the infinite nature of God’s being as the nature of individual being do we complete the realization that brings harmony into our experience.

The nature of God is I, that I which dwells in the midst of us, that I which we recognize to be individualized as our own being. This I is not the body we see with our eyes; it is not the egotistical I which believes that a human being has all power, or that a human being is God; but it is that gentle I which looks out from the center of our being. The human self-centered I must die daily that the divine I may be born again in us, and our divine relationship be revealed.”

This afternoon I went outside and filled my bird feeder with birdseed. Then I went across the street to my neighbor’s home and filled her bird feeder with birdseed.

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

January 24

Invisible Goals

I am the saving Spirit of the consciousness of Love which is in Jesus the Christ. I greet you with the full power of that consciousness.

Each has sought in the recesses of his heart for that consciousness and met with such a mixture of success and failure that it seems that God is sometimes generous and sometimes withholding.

Yet were the great pattern of being to be laid before the measurement of your mind’s eye, it could be seen that the consciousness of Love is infinitely even and disputeth not at what must be done to insure true impartiality of experience to all created beings.

For it is the intent of Love that the creations of Love are to be creators. And how could that be were there no choices to make, no difficulties to overcome, no mountains to be traversed, and no invisible goals to be set in faith and realized with persistence?

The full consciousness of Love embraces each in whatever circumstances. Yet comfort is abundant if each can but ask in faith, knowing that the consciousness of Love is indeed within each one. Seek ye, therefore, the peace of utter freedom, freedom to find Love in any circumstance whatever and rejoice in the glory of Christ.

I move among you making available to you the peace of Love, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

(D channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the Infinite Creator. Advice which is not asked is often not helpful. Each person has their own path to follow. Unsolicited advice very often temporarily throws a person off of their busy made pace. When one is asked advice, very often, it is helpful to give to the best of your ability. But unasked for advice can slow the person on their path. Sometimes it is better if they look inward to solve their problems. Then only if they ask for help, would we help them on their way. Sometimes people’s paths cross, and they go for a while down the same lane. But very often, it will veer to one direction, and they will separate. On occasion they will again turn, but often they go a different way. It is very difficult to understand another’s pattern. Be very careful when you give advice.

I will leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of the One Infinite Creator. It is again with great joy that we are among you this evening. We feel the Love that is shared so extensively among the ones gathered here in the seeking of the One Creator and the seeking of all. We are with you in joy and in pleasure to share our simple message. We do not have the means to communicate with most people on your planet in a direct contact. So, as you know, we use the means of the vocal channel. It is through this means that we convey our simple message of Love and Light of the One Creator and express the thought that all, indeed, are one in that Love and Light. To express this Love takes so little of an actual action. A thought, a word, a small deed can express the Creator’s Love in great intensity, if one is open to seeing that Love. The seeking of the Original Thought is deep within all. Yet, there are a number of people on your planet’s surface still who do not realize they are seeking this Thought, seeking the Love that will eventually bond all your people into one.

We are, therefore, trying in our small way to help your people accomplish this goal. It will be in a short time that those of your people who are ready for this transition will accomplish the oneness – in another step toward the oneness of the Creator. We are encouraging all of you, in your small ways, to share your simple message with those you feel are ready to hear the message in order to brighten their day, lighten their lives, to help them along their path, as you have been helped along yours from time to time by a kind word, a little love that was given to you with that ask… asking… We correct this instrument. Without asking anything in return of you. Love that is freely given. We do not and would not advise anyone of their path. We can only encourage those who seek the One Creator, and this we gladly and willingly do. For in allowing us to share our simple messages with you, you do us a great service also. For we learn from you at the same time that you may learn a little from us and our very simple but Loving messages. Again, we would like to express our great joy and great pleasure at being called among you this evening.

At this time, we would transfer to another instrument. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I will speak through this instrument. We continue through this instrument, greeting you as always in Love and in Light. How bright the possibilities are for each of you, my friends. And how eager each of you is to help others. It is a joy for us to see those working upon the path of service to others. For although we are only your brothers and sisters and very fallible, it is our opinion that this path is by far the swiftest and the most joyful path possible for any entity. Upon each mind, there may come many times the question: How can I do the work that I wish to do? How can I help as I wish to help those about me? How is it possible that I will be able to serve the One Infinite Creator by sharing joy and unity, when I myself am less than joyful and less than uniform from time to time?

Firstly, my friends, we would repeat that which we have spoken through another instrument. For in its repetition, you may perhaps perceive the importance in which we’ve placed this concept. To sow the seed when asked is your service: by thought, by word, and by deed. To pray for any outcome, to speak any word, or to offer any action to one who has not asked for aid is an infringement upon free will. In order to be of service then, refine your perceptions until you hear those who seek for pearls and recognize those who seek the dime store jewelry. You cannot help all entities except by the act of your being.

In this session Hatonn wanted to share information about how we can be of service to others in the best way. They began by saying how bright the possibilities are for each of you, and how eager each of you is to help others, so it is a joy for us to see those working upon the path of service to others, for we are only your brothers and sisters and very fallible, and it is our opinion that this path is the swiftest and the most joyful path possible for any entity, so upon each mind, there may come many times the question: “How can I do the work that I wish to do? How can I help as I wish to help those about me? How is it possible that I will be able to serve the One Infinite Creator by sharing joy and unity, when I myself am less than joyful and less than uniform from time to time?” Then Hatonn said we repeat that which we have spoken through another instrument, for in its repetition you may perceive the importance in which we’ve placed this concept, and to sow the seed when asked is your service: by thought, by word, and by deed, so to pray for any outcome, to speak any word, or to offer any action to one who has not asked for aid is an infringement upon free will, and in order to be of service refine your perceptions until you hear those who seek for pearls and recognize those who seek the dime store jewelry because you cannot help all entities except by the act of your being. On September 28, 1986, Q’uo spoke about the value of refining our perceptions:

You are dimly perceiving your true nature, and you are gaining in experience in this illusion, so that you may refine your perceptions and more and more define yourself in terms of Love and all others in terms of Love until your perception becomes clear. We ask that you think about some of these things and take all of your thoughts, offering them up in meditation daily, if possible, always seeking the truth with all that is within you.

This brings us to our second point, my friends. Perhaps it has occurred to you that you wish very much to make of this incarnation a service to the One Creator, and you do not know how to proceed. Let us assure each, my friends, that there are services that you are performing now and which you shall be performing if you but listen to that voice within you. However, my friends, many are the times that the next phase of your service will wait until you have purified, and harmonized, and blessed that situation in which you find yourself at this particular moment. To move from where you are in your mind to the next place in which you shall be of service, it is necessary that you stand upon rock firmly and unquestioningly bathed in the harmony of Love and Light. Have you work to do then with a relationship? Have you inner work to complete? Have you forgiveness to undertake? Have you circumstances to balance in your perceptions until you can see them in perspective and love them? If this is so, my friends, set about this work. For that which is to come shall wait upon your readiness to leave the place wherein you are now experiencing the illusion. Once you have come into the balance with all about you, once there is harmony, and Love, and thanksgiving between you and your kindred, seek inwardly, then, as it is written in your holy works: “Not my will but thine.”

Thirdly, we would point out that there is no great work unless all works are great. Do you wish to serve this planet? Very well, then. Do whatever is before you. To each has been given a certain amount of gift and burden, that is, each has been given that which is the potential service of what you call your lifetime. Whatever has been given to you, and whatever shall be given to you, cannot be judged upon the merits which are so prevalent among your people. Those who speak to multitudes and speak not from the heart do far, far less than the parent who speaks one word of utter Love to the child, or the person who, with a full heart, who reaches out and opens the hand to the stranger. That which you have called Christ consciousness is infinite. If you are to speak to multitudes, therefore, it shall be done if you have prepared yourself. If the kingdom in your care is but one or two, it is as great as the greatest multitude.

Hatonn went on to say this brings us to our second point, and perhaps it has occurred to you that you wish to make your incarnation a service to the One Creator, and you do not know how to proceed, so let us assure each that there are services that you are performing now, and which you shall be performing if you listen to that voice within you, but many times the next phase of your service will wait until you have harmonized and blessed that situation in which you find yourself at this moment, so to move from where you are in your mind to the next place in which you shall be of service, it is necessary that you stand firmly bathed in the harmony of Love and Light, so: “Have you work to do then with a relationship? Have you inner work to complete? Have you forgiveness to undertake? Have you circumstances to balance in your perceptions until you can see them in perspective and love them?” Then Hatonn said if this is so, set about this work for that which is to come shall wait upon your readiness to leave the place where you are experiencing the illusion, and once you have come into the balance with all about you, and there is harmony, Love, and thanksgiving between you and your kindred, seek inwardly, for as it is written in your Bible: “Not my will but thine.” Hatonn continued by saying we would point out that there is no great work unless all works are great, so: “Do you wish to serve this planet?” Hatonn said do whatever is before you, and to each has been given that which is the service of your lifetime, so whatever has been given to you, and whatever shall be given to you, cannot be judged upon the merits which are so prevalent among your people, for those who speak to multitudes and speak not from the heart do far less than the parent who speaks one word of Love to the child, or the person who, with a full heart who reaches out and opens the hand to the stranger, for the Christ consciousness is infinite, so if you are to speak to multitudes it shall be done if you have prepared yourself, and if the kingdom in your care is but one or two, it is as great as the greatest multitude. On March 21, 1981, Latwii described the nature of Christ consciousness:

You are perfect. Forgive yourself. Let your friends comfort you. Listen in your heart for the Love of the Creator. Feel upon your shoulder the hand of a presence so near and so dear that you could not be separated from it. This presence may be called Christ consciousness or divine Love. Seek and ye shall find. This is that which you will find.

Your people are fascinated by things and wonders. They gaze at the phenomenon. They stare at the physical being. But how many among your people, my friends, out of a clean, clear, and pure heart, have given to just a few the healing power of Love. My friends, we ask you to be on fire with that Love. And then we ask that you realize that the greatest gift that you can give with that fire is to let people find your Light. Let them come to you. And when they do, let the Creator shine upon them with such a blaze that your joy is boundless. Before you, my friends upon the path, is an endless amount of work. You may call it, as it is called in your holy words, the “denying of the self” and the “taking up of the cross.” But we say to you, my friends, there is nothing negative, nothing denying about that of which we speak or that of which the master known as Jesus.

The burden that you bear is a Light that can only be carried by those whose devotion and dedication to the One Infinite Creator is such that the life is turned over to that Light, that the soul is opened to that Love, and that human considerations that may restrict the shining of that Light – the shyness, the nervousness, the lack of confidence – are simply left behind. What a gift you have to give, my friends. For you are in such a dark illusion. You carry Light within you. Set that Light high as a beacon within your being. And trust that that service which is yours will, by grace, come to you; and that you, by that same grace, shall be able to offer that which is asked – never, my friends, that which is not asked. We feel within this group a great sense of the joy of which we speak, and pause at this time for a moment of thanksgiving and blessing and the sharing of the joy of Love. I am Haton.

Hatonn continued by saying your people are fascinated by wonders, so they gaze at the phenomenon, and they stare at the physical being, but how many among your people out of a pure heart have given to a few the healing power of Love, so we ask you to be on fire with that Love, and then we ask that you realize that the greatest gift that you can give with that fire is to let people find your Light and come to you, and when they do, let the Creator shine upon them with such a blaze that your joy is boundless, for before you is an endless amount of work, and you may call it the “taking up of the cross,” but we say to you there is nothing negative about that of which we speak or that of Jesus. Then Hatonn said the burden that you bear is a Light that can only be carried by those whose devotion to the One Infinite Creator is such that the life is turned over to Light, that the soul is opened to Love, and that human considerations that may restrict the shining of that Light–the lack of confidence– are left behind, and what a gift you have to give, for you are in such a dark illusion, so you carry Light within you, so set that Light high as a beacon within your being, and trust that the service which is yours will, by grace, come to you; and that you, by that same grace, shall be able to offer that which is asked, but never offer that which is not asked, and we feel within this group a sense of the joy of which we speak, and we pause for a moment of blessing and the sharing of the joy of Love. On December 30, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the joy of Love:

Firstly, the most important witness an entity can offer for the one Creator in glory, in peace, and in joy, is the manifestation of the self with conscious encouragement of the self in unspoken and uncontrived witness. We expect those who have achieved this much maturity to have chosen a path, and to be able to speak of that path. But the first gift that one may give is presence, simply practicing the presence of the Creator within the self, and allowing the practice of that presence to shine forth so that those of any kind may sense that peace which is not the world’s, that joy which the world only knows as happiness, the palest shadow of joy, of Love, indescribable, but quite clearly observable among those who would gaze at the face of one who truly Loves. This is your greatest witness; it is your greatest help to your beloved people and to your planet as a whole, for the planet itself responds to self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and unconditional Love. These are metaphysical vibrations as strong in mending the Earth as the pressure of tectonic plates is strong in mending the adjustment of the Earth in catastrophic style.

[Thirty-second pause]

I am again with this instrument. What a great privilege it is to blend our vibrations with you and to feel your presence as we hope that you have felt ours. As you do your work, my friends, in order to become ever better channels of Love, know always that there is rock under your feet – that great rock of the silence within. For one Original Thought has created and made one not only your people but all of the creation. Within you is the fire that has birthed stars and the Love that balances them in their rhythms throughout the infinite proscenium of creation. Seek you then that rock of meditation as frequently as you can. And if, by chance, you must be away from that rock by busyness, spend a few moments knowing and feeling that it is, as it has always been within you, nearer to you than your own heartbeat.

Now Hatonn said as you do your work, in order to become ever better channels of Love, know that there is rock under your feet, that great rock of the silence within, for the one Original Thought has created, not only your people, but all of the creation, and within you is the fire that has birthed stars and the Love that balances them in their rhythms throughout the infinite stages of creation, so seek that rock of meditation as frequently as you can, and if you must be away from that rock by busyness, spend a few moments knowing and feeling that it is, as it has always been within you, nearer to you than your own heartbeat. On October 11, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our own heartbeat:

Fortunately, your energy body has a great deal of intrinsic health. And that is the last thing that we would suggest to you at this time. Sometimes when you eat the wrong foods, you might take medicine to help yourself rebalance. Just so, when you have a case of spiritual indigestion it is very helpful to call upon your guidance and to ask for the help that is all around you. Your guidance is as near to you as your own heartbeat. The angels that are around you wish only to be asked to help.

We would close this contract through the instrument know as K. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. To repeat, my friends, may all things come to you in the Light and the Love of the Infinite Creator. My friends, to stand and fall and in silence in the presence of the Infinite Creator, that all who serves the Infinite Creator, it serves all mankind to some degree. Words can attempt to express the majesty in all of the Infinite Creator. But words are totally inadequate, and silence many times is the act that renews and strengthens our service inaudible. We shall repeat what we have said many times to this group: when you want our vibration, you have but to ask. And when you have some problem in your life that you do not readily see the answer to, you have but to ask the Infinite Creator. Indeed, it has been a great joy to be in your midst tonight. And we leave you now in the Light and the Love of the Infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

(D channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the Infinite Creator. The holy book says, “The pure at heart shall see God.” The pure in heart are God. Their link with the Creator is greater than most. They can do nothing, and still your stillness radiates the Love of God. Your thought fills the room with Light. Your friendships are beautiful. They may not be do-ers, but they are be-ers. We send the message of God to people who will [inaudible] it. It is the soul’s [inaudible]. Many times, it accentuates what is within the soul. But many times, it doesn’t. Many of the pure in part… Excuse me. Many of the pure in heart are not do-ers. Sometimes they are a nun in a convent that prays for the world. Sometimes they are a herd on the hill. But they are so close to God that the world is better for their being. It is also said that by their fruits, you shall know them. Their thoughts and their fruits and the rules in which they abide have an inner peace. People who know them feel close to the Creator.

[Jim answers the ringing phone.]

The pure in heart should be the aim of all people. Some lucky ones find it easy, and they bring great beauty and great understanding and great Love to all the people who are fortunate enough to be near them. The pure in heart are God.

I am Hatonn. 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 again find it a privilege to be asked to join your group this evening. We of Latwii have always found it a great joy to be able to blend our vibrations with this group. Again, it is our privilege to present ourselves in the capacity of attempting to answer your queries. We remind each that our responses are the best possible treasures of our being which we can unearth for you, but we are not at all infallible. Therefore, with this disclaimer, may the questions then begin.

Carla: I have a totally unimportant question, but it was brought up to me by a teacher who teachers the fifth grade. And she was wondering out loud why so many young women in her class of 10 year-olds were really child-women – they had developed much earlier than the previous generation in her memory. She wondered why this was, and I wondered if there was a spiritually oriented reason or something having to do with the change in vibration.

[Tape one ends]

(Jim channeling)

…All children and share them in as pure a manner as possible without the hesitation. For whatever occurs – be it the momentary bliss, the joy, or the disharmony, tears, and anger – there is within each moment the possibility of the quickening of the pace of the journey.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you, Latwii.

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

D: Yes, along this same line of thinking, my daughter is a teacher, and teachers and students are having a very difficult time these days. Is it possible, for instance, for me to imagine a classroom in which that Light, and Love, and joy, etc., fill the classroom? Does that effort on my part help the teacher and the students?

I am Latwii, and I am aware of your query, my sister. To fill such a room of learning with the Love and the Light of the One Creator as manifested through the visualization of your intentions is much the same as to water the garden with the attention of the careful gardener who looks after each plant and who sees to the clearing of the weeds and the adding of the fertilizer. It may be said that the environment which you describe is much less overtly affected by the sending of Love and Light. For you cannot measure its effect as you can when you look upon a garden with its bounteous produce at the end of the season. But do not doubt, my sister, that your Love and Light have added to the enhancing of the awareness of each within the classroom of that Love and Light. For were it not there, their experience would be less.

May we answer you further, my sister?

D: No, thank you. That answered the question. I thought that was true, and yet when I rationalize, it seems pretty ridiculous. Let me push that just one little bit further. Does the sending of the Love and the Light help the teacher to be more creative in knowing what to do in stressful situations?

I am Latwii, and I am aware of your query, my sister. Though this is possible, such a specific type of enhancement of the experience is the work of what you might call the adept and is done, then, only in a situation in which it has been requested. For to specifically aid another who has not requested that specific aid is an infringement. To aid by sending Love and Light is the type of assistance which may be accepted if it is desired in any form by those to whom it is sent.

May we answer you further, my sister?

D: That answered the question. Thank you.

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

A: I picked up what I dropped before, and that was I wondered about how we should respond to what we perceive to be, say, somewhat precocious and negative behavior in our children, though it isn’t hurting anyone. Just in other words, behavior that, although no victim… there’s no victim, the behavior seems negative. I would like to know how we might cope with that without infringing on their free will?

I am Latwii, and I am aware of your query, my brother. First of all, may we say that you cannot make a mistake. But we realize what you seek is the most lovingly efficient manner of being of assistance to these the young entities. Therefore, we would say, when you find yourself responding within your being in one way or another with such a young entity according to its actions, allow yourself to express that which you feel, for it is catalyst which arises from within your being and does not arise by chance. This allows not only the potential for growth within the young entity with whom you relate, but also within your own being, so that as you reflect in solitude within yourself, you might further refine this perception which you have shared in the first form in which it appeared within your being. By this refining process do you then add to the potential for the young entity to learn. And do you not also add the reality of your being as a fragile and vulnerable entity? My friend, as you know, this is most important for each entity upon your planet to realize about each other. And this is most especially true with those young entities whose care has been placed within your being.

May we answer you further, my brother?

A: Not at this time. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

[Thirty-second pause]

I am Latwii. We find a great and joyful piece among this group this evening. It is the nature of this group to be most full of the queries. And for each query, we are always most grateful. But this evening we find a certain joy in the great peace which exists within this group. We thank each entity for this offering, and we ask that each entity remember that such peace is always present and available. We now shall take our leave of this group, and remind each before we do so that our presence is always available, as well, for the asking. We are known to you as those of Latwii. We leave you now, my friends, in the Love and in the Laight of the One Infinite Creator. Adonai, vasu borragus.

Early this morning I made an errand run at 7 am because there are predictions of very cold temperatures and heavy snow beginning later today. My first stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some food for myself. My next stop was at PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My third stop was at Pauls’ Fruit Market where I bought more food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Fruit Market where I bought some non-food items.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Meditation is powerful. In meditation we have not asked, begged, or pleaded for anything. We have recognized the truth known to Jesus, John, Paul, Moses, and Elijah, the truth every one of them revealed, that where I am, God is. It is a universal teaching that has been known to every master and spiritual teacher throughout the ages, but it has been lost through the worship of a far-off God and through the belief that God and His beloved Son are separate beings.

In this meditation we realize that God is within our own being, but not confined within the limits of our flesh. No surgeon can operate and find God, yet God is within our own consciousness, closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet. If we are ever in a place of discord, let us never forget that our salvation is closer than breathing because ‘I and the Father are one.’

Look at that statement, ‘I and the Father are one.’ Visualize a figure one and see contained in that figure one the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. That one is God, the Creative Principle, invisible; that one is the Son, appearing as the figure one; that one is the invisible Holy Ghost, which maintains and sustains the Son throughout all eternity. That one never becomes a two; it never becomes a minus one because there is something in inherent in it that maintains its oneness.”

At 10:30 this morning I kept an appointment to get my hair cut by Bethany at Absolutely Nails. On the way home I stopped at Feeder’s supply to buy some cat food and some bird seed.

This afternoon I walked around my yard and picked up some small tree branches that had blown down in recent winds. I picked up enough small limbs to fill one garbage can.

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

January 18

You Have Good Gifts

I am the Spirit of the full consciousness of Love in the vibration which comforts this instrument. I greet you in the Love of Jesus Christ.

The nature of the Comforter is both particular and personal. Yet it does not expend itself in the movement from the winds of opportunity to the heart of one who prays that the Holy Spirit may therein enter.

The same principle which enlivens your heart and engages your attention in a spiritually rewarding manner may also then be used by you to show forth the glory of God to others. There is no deadness in the Spirit, for all are alive in Jesus Christ.

Therefore, know that you have good gifts and are not going to find it necessary to act for your Lord without the help of the Holy Spirit. It was truly said that until the ending of the age Jesus would never leave His flock, for we are the principle of Jesus Christ and of the nature of Christ’s consciousness. Thusly you and we work together to shine the Light of peace and understanding upon a world which does not yet understand that all that exists is, alike, holy.

We wish you peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from September 5, 1982:

(M1 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you, my friends, with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. One reason you have so much trouble with pollution on your planet, you do not stop to enjoy the beauty of the streams, the beauty of your parks, the beauty of your sunset. People who see the beauty do not throw things in the streams, do not cause pollution. You are worried about your pollution, but your lack of appreciation of the beauty in the world is the cause of your pollution. Your young children should be taught to see the beauty of nature, the beauty of human beings. People would not be mistreated if the original nature of each person was appreciated. When a channel is lowest from abuse, that particular individual will never come again. People who love beauty know how to treat it. Never be so busy that you don’t stop to enjoy the beauty of the flowers, the beauty of the trees, and the beauty of the sunset. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. We greet you again, especially those new and those who have been away but have rejoined the group. We would this evening speak but briefly through as many of the new instruments as wish to practice this evening so as to further their confidence and hone their abilities. We are always, indeed, more than grateful when allowed to aid any who seek to serve in the capacity of vocal channeling, for each aids us in that our few meager words may aid those of your planet who are searching and seeking the knowledge of the Love and the Light that is the one infinite Creator.

We would now switch our contact to another, speak a few words, pass on. We now transfer. I am Hatonn.

(A channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and we greet you again this evening. As we said, we wish to just speak a few words through this new instrument—correction—this instrument. We wish to say that as you work your lives on this planet, that you remember that you are indeed alive, living in what some call an illusion. But if it was not for this illusion, you would miss getting to learn some of the greatest lessons in learning to love and to care.

You do not need to wish to be somewhere else, for look about you. Is not where you are a great and beautiful place? Do not be quick to see what is not good, for in all things there is a purpose and a reason, no matter how bleak you may see it. Therefore, we say in closing, remember to live, because you are alive and you are here, and you chose to be. We now wish to transfer to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(M1 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you again in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Expanding our earlier conversation—make yourself larger with beauty, with friendship, with love. Did you see something beautiful today? Did you stop to admire it? Did it make you bigger? Were you with your friends? Did you feel their affection, and did they feel yours? Did you see someone that you truly love? These are the things that expand your soul. Do not become so involved in the physical that the beauty of your life and your soul are left unfulfilled. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We had intended to move to M2, and found that this instrument was receiving the signals in a particularly sensitive manner, so that it would perhaps be appropriate to use this instrument and then move on to the one known as M2 and the one known as S. We would like at this time to pause so that the brothers and sisters of Laitos may move among you if you would mentally request their presence. It is their especial honor to be an assistant to those who wish to deepen their meditative state, and to feel the presence of the Confederation of Planets. We shall pause for them at this time.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am again with this instrument. It gives us pleasure to speak to this instrument as we are aware that our opportunities to speak to these, our beloved friends, through this instrument are few. My friends, we speak to you of the beauties and the opportunities of living a full and generous life, and indeed that is the great first part of the lesson of Love—to apprehend the nature of your surroundings, of your environment, of your opportunities and of yourself; to apprehend the one infinite Creator in all that lies about you from the smallest particle, to the farthest sound of the distant car driven by a stranger, to a place unknown to you. Wherever that stranger goes, so do you go. You are with all beings. You are a part of all that there is, yet the opportunities for the learning of the lessons of Love are inexhaustible.

There is a great second part that we would speak to you about, and that is the part of the hand that cuts the flower, of the reaper that harvests the grain. My friends, if you are too comfortable in your thinking about life, about truth, and about the Creator, reexamine your circumstances and find out where your challenge lies, for there is no still and unlearned place in the pilgrimage of the soul. You shall be forever learning, forever blessed with the challenge. Indeed, my friends, there is a strength, a placid calm, the deepest night unlit by any star within your being into which you may go for comfort and wisdom. But from that great source of Love, and strength, and power there comes a time when you must get up from your meditation and go forward.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about how we can live a full and generous life. They began by saying we speak to you of the beauties and the opportunities of living a full and generous life, and that is the first part of the lesson of Love: to apprehend the nature of your environment, of yourself, and the one infinite Creator in all that lies about you from the smallest particle, to the farthest sound of the distant car driven by a stranger, to a place unknown to you, so wherever that stranger goes, so do you go, for you are one with all beings, and you are a part of all that there is, yet the opportunities for the learning of the lessons of Love are inexhaustible. Then Hatonn said there is a second part that we would speak to you about, and that is the part of the reaper that harvests the grain, and if you are too comfortable in your thinking about life, about truth, and about the Creator, reexamine your circumstances and find out where your challenge lies, for there is no still and unlearned place in the pilgrimage of the soul, so you shall be forever learning, forever blessed with the challenge, so there is the deepest night unlit by any star within your being into which you may go for comfort and wisdom, but from that great source of Love and power there comes a time when you must get up from your meditation and go forward. On December 13, 1992, Q’uo described our lessons of Love within the third density:

As the lesson begins to sink in, usually the fourth or fifth time the genre of experience has come around again, and the seeker is getting the hang of this particular lesson of Love, the strides being made towards transformation are far greater; change is occurring at a far more deeply biased level; yet the experience of discomfort is somewhat less because comfort actually lies, as we said, in accepting one’s place in the flow of change.

As the end of any lesson approaches, this realization of the flowing nature of learning and destiny is clearer and clearer. Finally, one is somewhat comfortable, and then of course it is time for another lesson to begin. Thus, there is always the discomfort, the angst, but the amount of angst is not necessarily consonant with the amount of change but is rather more nearly consonant with the amount of resistance to or standing athwart of that change because of preconceived ideas about what one’s path of destiny is. It is well to release all expectations beyond a certain point in order for the play of the wind of destiny to aid rather than to seem to hinder.

Try, if you can, my friends, to know that feeling that the harvest of each day represents to you. Each day, my friends, those things which you have sown in the past may come into bloom. Each day, something that you could not do before, or have prayed to be able to do may finally come into bloom, and each day, you must examine the possibility that there is something that you may reap and offer to the creation. Perhaps not to the part of creation that you would wish, perhaps to an entity or a situation that you would far rather were not as it were. But as we said previously, there is no circumstance without its purpose.

Investigate your own flowering abilities as each day brings its situation and challenges, for you did not come into this illusion to gaze idly by while others learned. No, my friends, you came to walk a path that has been walked by many and shall be walked by many more. We came seeking; we are with you as you seek. But your greatest resource is your own carefully and beautifully intentioned past. Whatever has been done ill, whatever error you may have committed, you have also sown many thoughts, many ideas, many intentions, many desires for the truth, for Love, for the Creator. Each thought will flower in its time, and each flower will be needed, so watch your garden.

Then Hatonn said try to know that feeling that the harvest of each day represents to you, for each day those things which you have sown in the past may come into bloom, and each day something that you could not do before, or have prayed to be able to do, may finally come into bloom, and each day you must examine the possibility that there is something that you may reap and offer to the creation, but perhaps not to the part of creation that you would wish, perhaps to an entity or a situation that you would far rather were not as it were, but there is no circumstance without its purpose. Now Hatonn said investigate your flowering abilities as each day brings its challenges, for you did not come into this illusion to gaze idly by while others learned, for you came to walk a path that has been walked by many and shall be walked by many more, and we are with you as you seek, but your greatest resource is your own beautifully intentioned past, so whatever error you may have committed, you have also sown many thoughts and desires for the truth, for Love, for the Creator, and each thought will flower in its time, so watch your garden. On September 22, 1991, Q’uo spoke about our desire for the truth:

But remember always the great and sturdy team that you were and are in your honest and single-hearted desire for the truth, the desire to know the Love of the infinite One, and to offer all that you are and all that you ever will be to that service. Go forward from this meeting saying not farewell, for you are only moving into the part of the path in which you may not see each other so often. You are all still working together.

We would ask you lastly to think about the implications of becoming a social memory complex. We have said one does not learn to become a social memory complex by the mating of individuals alone. Just as important is the relationship that you have with all others. Whether you experience that relationship as positive or negative, successful or failing, you are attempting to learn the mind that is yourself but not yourself, that mind that is hidden from you by the illusion of separation. And rest back in the knowledge that in addition to all guidance that is unseen, each of you has learned that there is a totally trustworthy entity in each other. Someone with whom it is safe to speak of things that are painful. Someone who you know will not harm you in any way that is intended. Someone that you know will not be petty or mean. Someone whom you can trust to give its best not only on your behalf but in any concern that you might have.

We would now leave this instrument and transfer to the one known as K. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and I would say a few words along the ones that have already been spoken. We read in your scriptures about the light that is set on a hill for all to see. A light shining in darkness is really quite easy to see. My friends, as you go about the routine which is oftentimes seemingly unimportant, and perhaps even dull and boring, if you would practice serenity, and peace, and joy, all of which are deep inside you as has already been indicated, you will indeed be like that light set on a hill. This may be difficult to learn, but practice is necessary for anything that you accomplish, and so I encourage you to practice these attributes in your daily life. You will not only be of help to others about you, but you will grow in the process. I now leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet you once again this evening in the Love and the Light of our one infinite Creator. Many times this evening have we done so, and this greeting, my brothers and sisters, can never be spoken enough or felt within your souls enough. We say this not only to greet you, but to instill in you the feeling of the Light and Love of the Creator. For this Love and this Light, my friends, is that which all of you have chosen to seek and to find in your lives and to spread throughout your world to help the people of this planet see this Love and this Light that is shared so intensely among you. You are so very bright. It should not be hard for anyone to let their Light shine, to see in the future how one moment of Light could change and bring about so many changes in so many people’s lives on your planet.

My friends, we have spoken long this evening. It was our great pleasure and great joy to be called among so many. We would want you to know, as we have said in the past, that we are with you if but you call in a moment of need or a moment of quiet reflection to aid your meditation, to aid you in any way we can in your particular search for the Light and for the path leading to that Light. We realize that there are times when you feel very much alone, but, my friends, you are never alone. Look around you. Feel the Creator in everything you touch, everything you see. Feel Its grace, Its love. There is nothing that does not exude Its Light. And if you can but see and be aware, you will never need feel lonely or without the support that you feel you need to grow or to sustain you in your search.

We would at this time leave this instrument and transfer this contact. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(M2 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. We greet you again in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We will say just a few words through this instrument in closing because this instrument is fatigued. It is again, as always, a great joy for us to share this time and our thoughts with you. We are forever at your beck and call. Just think our names, and we are with you in your meditations and in your daily routine. Our thoughts go with you. We leave you now in the Love and the Light. I am 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. You cannot imagine how much it means to us to speak to M2. It is not easy, but for some reason he had a special meaning for us. [Inaudible]. Nourish your body because it houses your soul. The physical is very important. But remember, it is a temporary covering for your soul. Each day nourish yourself. Nourish the souls of your friends. When you are speaking with your friends and you compliment them, this is a greater favor than inviting them to dinner. Feeding them physically is a temporary thing. Expanding their soul is permanent. Try to see the good in everybody, but never forget to tell them. Many times you appreciate attractive things about your friends, and you forget to tell them. This gives you no chance to expand their soul. Remember your soul and the souls of your friends are very important. Help them to expand their soul, and never let a day go by that you are not conscious that your soul will go on. The physical is very good for helping the soul, but it really is what your people call a whirlwind. You feel you need three meals a day, but how many of you stop and feed your soul? When you go to bed at night, do you think of the food that you have given your soul? Are you involved with growing? Keep your soul as the valuable thing. All other things are uninspiring. Basically, in the long run, they are unimportant. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are most honored once again to be allowed to join this group and to offer ourselves in the capacity of attempting to answer those queries which have value to you. May we then ask if there might be a query with which we might begin?

K: I would like to ask one, some thoughts on a subject that all of us are going to be concerned with soon, and that is moving from one place to another. I understand that you learn from that and meet new people and grow. The difficulty that I have is with feeling sad about leaving friends and family that are loved ones, and I could use some help with this.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. May we begin by suggesting that though there are what you call periods of time which seem to remain unchanging, the true nature of your illusion is one of constant change. Each moment is a treasure which offers the opportunity …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. These moments offer the opportunity for you to expand your experience of yourself and, therefore, the one Creator as well. As you move through each moment, there is an unending variety of opportunities to find Love, to know wisdom, to feel unity, or to make whatever response is yours to make. Each moment builds upon the experience which is significant for each to undertake in the incarnation. Each moment, therefore, offers the opportunity for the type of growth which you might call a transformation of your being, so that constantly you have the opportunity to live within the moment, to allow the old to pass from your being, to experience a tiny death, and to be born again into yet another moment.

For each entity there are also those times of greater significance and larger transformations. There are various ways in which each entity experiences such transformations. The joining of couples in marriage, the birthing of children, the forming of communities, and the moving of the family or group from one location to another are obvious examples of these types of transformations. These experiences offer the entity a new beginning, and offer the entity not only growth which has been accomplished, but the opportunity to make the self new once again.

As you look about you, whether you are in the position of moving, having moved, or remaining in the location which you have known for some period of what you call time, you may see that which you call your past as having yielded the fruits which make you know what you are. Bless those experiences, my friends, for they have been well accomplished and have done their duty, shall we say. But also look to what you call your future so that there might be the symbolic opening within yourself to yet further experiences, for your life was not meant to become as the stagnant pool, but is meant to flow as the river.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you.

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

E: I have a question, Latwii. It refers to the interminable questions I was asking last week, and that is, I know of an entity that has multiple personalities, and I was of the understanding that it would be very difficult for her ever to integrate her personalities. And last week I learned that one of her personalities is teaching another how to play the violin, and I would like you to comment on that, and how it relates to her possibility of putting herself back together, if you know what I mean.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. This entity has, as is true for each entity, incarnated for specific reasons. In general, each entity may be seen as the one infinite Creator in search of Itself. As this entity of which you speak makes that journey of seeking for the self, it has found a quite unique experience available to it. There are portions of each entity which remain hidden during what you call the incarnation, and yield their fruits, their skills, only in subliminal fashion. For this entity, these portions are not so hidden. As we mentioned before, this entity has experienced other portions of itself entering through what we then called tears or holes in the veil which separates the conscious and unconscious minds. As these portions or personalities of this entity’s greater self begin to find an integration, then there is a finding of greater portions of the self for this entity. And as this particular experience which you refer to occurs, there is the melding of the self as portions which seemed divorced begin what might be termed a communication, one with the other. This is the fulfillment of a portion of this entity’s purpose of its incarnation.

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: No, not at the time, thank you.

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

K: Yes. Scripture tells about Jesus casting out devils and the disciples talked about casting out devils. Would you comment on the meaning of this?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. For those entities upon your planet who have sought the meaning of life, and the nature of truth, there has been the answer to the calling in an infinite variety of ways. Those works which you refer to as the holy scriptures of your Bible are but one example of an answer, or more correctly, a series of answers to a series of callings. Each answer, therefore, is made understandable by the one answering the call for the one who calls. Therefore, you might note that different terms can be used for those entities which are described in this work as devils or evil spirits. Forget not, my friends, that there is one Creator and one creation, and many portions of that creation are of what is normally called the darker side, for there is night and there is light and together they make the day. Those entities of the negative nature are those entities which pursue the polarity of serving the self, which is to say, they draw unto the self the Light which surrounds them and do not reflect it or radiate it unto others, for such radiation is of the positive polarity. Entities of the so-called negative nature, therefore, might seem at times to be in opposition, as you might call it, to entities of a positive polarity. Yet, my friends, in truth, this is not so. Each serves the other so that the one Creator which resides in both might know Itself in greater varieties and intensities and manners of being.

Yet, with the, shall we say, short run of time there might be the inharmonious joining of positive and negative. When entities of a positive nature are hindered in their attempts to be of service to others, this hindrance is a portion of the dance of the Creator. And another portion of that dance might include the entities of positive polarity seeking a purification of their being, of their place or location, and of those types of service which they seek to render in such purification or such casting out of demons, as it is called in these scriptures. It is recognized by those of purely positive polarity that though they ask those of the negative nature to remove themselves from the immediate surroundings, yet all are seen as the one Creator. Within certain levels of the illusions which create the densities of being, it is more appropriate from time to time for such purifications to occur. Yet, all action is the Creator which is experiencing Itself.

K asked: “Scripture tells about Jesus casting out devils and the disciples talked about casting out devils. Would you comment on the meaning of this?” Latwii began by saying for those entities upon your planet who have sought the meaning of life and the nature of truth, there has been the answer to the calling in an infinite variety of ways, and the holy scriptures of your Bible are but one example of a series of answers to a series of callings, and each answer is made understandable by the one answering the call for the one who calls, so that different terms can be used for those entities which are described in this work as evil spirits, but forget not that there is one Creator and one creation, and many portions of that creation are called the darker side, for there is night, and there is Light, and together they make the day, so those entities of the negative nature are those entities which pursue the polarity of serving the self, and  they draw unto the self the Light which surrounds them and do not reflect it or radiate it unto others, for such radiation is of the positive polarity, and entities of negative nature might seem at times to be in opposition to entities of a positive polarity, but this is not so, for each serves the other so that the one Creator which resides in both might know Itself in greater varieties and intensities of being. Latwii went on to say within the short run of time there might be the inharmonious joining of positive and negative, so when entities of a positive nature are hindered in their attempts to be of service to others, this hindrance is a portion of the dance of the Creator, and another portion of that dance might include the entities of positive polarity seeking a purification of their being, of their location, and of those types of service which they seek to render in such casting out of demons, for it is recognized by those of positive polarity that though they ask those of the negative nature to remove themselves from the immediate surroundings, yet all are seen as the one Creator, and within certain levels of the illusions which create the densities of being, it is more appropriate for such purifications to occur, yet all action is the Creator which is experiencing Itself. On January 11, 2020, Q’uo spoke of the nature of demons:

Those entities that are seen as demons are usually the projected thoughtforms of negatively oriented entities that utilize such thoughtforms in the attempt to control or to bring terror to certain entities so that they perhaps open themselves to further negative polarization, if they are unable to correctly perceive the nature of the demon. Negatively oriented entities utilize such thoughtform projections in order to control certain entities through the concept of fear. The fear of these demons, then, is seen as that which could be ameliorated or removed by the negative entity, for the object of its desire to control the entity that it is sending the demon to bring fear to.

Thusly, the demon is that quality that has been constructed by the negative entity after ascertaining the kind of being a certain third-density entity may find a reaction of fear for. Therefore, the demon is, shall we say, personally constructed for a particular mission, for not only a certain entity, but a certain type of entity, usually the weaker-minded entity that is unable to look beyond the demon, and see that it is a creature of the One Infinite Creator in its ultimate reality. And when there is Love and Light transmitted to it from the entity that was full of fear for it, then there is the transmutation of the demon within the mind of the entity instead of fear. This is a means by which the entity that was the object of the demon and the object of the negatively oriented entity’s efforts to control, then is able, by calling to a higher power to move itself beyond the level of the negatively oriented entity and the demon and to shower both with the Love and the Light of the One Infinite Creator that is heart-felt, for there is, within this entity, then, the feeling that the One Creator is the ultimate type of resource that all seekers of truth may call upon to deal with any demon or any perceived negativity within the life experience.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Yes, just one clarification to see if I understand. If one entity is seeking the Love and the Light and seeking to be the Light set on a hill, and another is of the negative polarity, or as you say, the negative nature, then sometimes it would be good for the ones seeking to absent themselves from the one that is of the negative nature, shall I say?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In general, this is a correct summary of our suggestions and comments. We would only add that as the illusion of the separations of the two polarities takes place through the means of purification, it is most purely accomplished when it is realized that in truth there is no separation. This may seem a paradox, and indeed the illusion which you inhabit has many of these seeming paradoxes to offer.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: I believe that answers the question. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you. Is there another question at this time?

E: I have another question, Latwii, and it concerns the Bible. And that is, in the story of Adam and Eve, when their children are of age, they are instructed to go out and marry amongst the tribes, and my question is, who are these beings that they go out and marry, and where do they come from?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find you have discovered a point which many who read your book called the Holy Bible have not noticed or given great attention to. It is often felt that the descriptions made in the first few books of this work are descriptions only of an allegorical nature, when this is not in truth the case. There were at the time in which this story was written, many entities inhabiting your planet. These entities were those who had been transferred from another within your own solar system to the planet Earth to complete the third-density cycle which they were unable to complete upon that planet which you call Mars. Their inability to complete that cycle upon their home planet was due to the bellicose nature of the means in which their societies interacted. Such warring natures created an environment upon that planet which did not permit the completing of its cycle without a great period of what you call time devoted to the healing of the entity that is that planet. Therefore, the transfer was undertaken by entities of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator who felt that not only the transfer, but the genetic mixing, shall we say, of their beingness with the beingness of the entities being transferred to your planet would be helpful to these entities who had undergone what might be called much stress upon their home planet and who were in somewhat of a state of confusion, shall we say.

Therefore, your planet began its third-density experience 75,000 of your years in the past as you measure time, not with only its own third-density population which had evolved from the second-density life forms, but also had added unto these entities those of the planet which your people call Mars.

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: No, thank you.

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

K: Yes, that reminds me of the Urantia book. Would you comment on the validity of the book?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This book, which your people call the Urantia book, was compiled by entities existing within the so-called inner planes of your planet. These entities sought to be of service by explaining in their terms, yet using some veiling of explanation, the nature of creation and the nature of evolution upon this planet. These entities sought to be of this service in response to a call of the third-density entities of your planet many, many of your years in your past. As with all answers to those who call, the information offered is stated in such a way as to speak only to those who call. Therefore, the information might be seen to be of limited use, as is any information communicated in this manner, including the information which we have to offer.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Then I’m assuming this is true of what we call the Bible also.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To our knowledge, this is true of any information offered by any source to any who call. For any information is a distortion of that which is attempted in the transmission, that is to say, the nature of truth, the nature of creation, the nature of the Creator is as It is. There are those who have traveled the path of seeking who have discovered more and more about truth, shall we say, but to attempt to describe it in what you call words is not to reveal the truth, but to point a direction towards the truth. Words are not the experience, therefore, all words are distortion of the experience.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Yes. I think I understand that then, it would be proper to say that as consciousness evolves, then truth is constantly evolving also?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In one respect, this is correct, for what is true to any entity is only true as it is perceived. What is true for one changes, therefore the truth for the one changes. Yet the nature of all that is does not in its essence change. For all that is is as it is. Yet the one Creator is a being which seeks experience of Itself. There is a portion of the one Creator which this group has come to know as intelligent infinity which is not created, for it is not a portion of the creation but is that from which the creation springs. Its nature is as it is. Yet, what springs from it constantly evolves and seems to add to it. Yet, in that addition there is no true change. This again is a paradox which we cannot resolve for you using the language of words, but we are hindered in this respect, for at this time this is our means of communication with you. We apologize for the inability that we recognize, that is, our inability to express the heart of this concept.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that helps a lot. I think that’s enough for right now. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my sister. Is there another question at this time?

J: Yes, Latwii, I have a question. In this group of meditation, we put forth work in tuning so as to open more to one center thought of Light, and it has sometimes been necessary during the meditation for people to leave the group, and you have mentioned that this causes a disruption in the circle. And I’m wondering if there’s anything that can be done to cause less of a disruption if someone needs to leave?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Should it occur that one must remove the self from the circle of seeking for a short period of time, as you call it, the easiest method to utilize for the remaining and retaining of the unified seeking is to leave as silently as possible. And prior to the leaving, to image within the mind the circle of Light which is the group, and to see that position which you are leaving as sealed by Light. Then, upon the reentry into the group, seeing that circle reinforced once again, and to make the circle of Light stronger within your mind, and to feel once again your unity in seeking with the group.

May we answer you further, my sister?

A: No, thank you.

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

M1: I have a question, Latwii, concerning multiple personalities. Is it good for the personality to become integrated or is it better for them to remain separate?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We cannot make a general statement which covers each separate case, for there are entities who experience the phenomenon which you call the multiple personality for the reasons that are knowable only to the entity, and perhaps shall not be known fully for the entire span of the incarnation. It might be thought more helpful for an entity to have the unified focus of its being to work upon its evolution of mind, of body, and of spirit, and for most upon your planet this is indeed so. But it is also possible that for some entities there is the need to splinter, shall we say, a portion of the self from another portion of the self so that through the dynamic tension which is created between the portions which are split, a certain series of experiences and lessons might be had.

Each entity upon your planet from time to time experiences some form of this splitting, for such a splitting, when accomplished within certain boundaries, shall we say, is a means for the enhancing of the experience of the entity in that certain portions of the self are then able to express their characteristics in more profound manners, and therefore might be more easily noticed by the entity as a whole or unified being. Each entity within this group this evening has at some time felt a portion of its own being moving, shall we say, away from the greater portion of the self. This frequently causes the feelings of schizophrenia, shall we say, or the feelings of losing the control of the self for a period of time. These instances are often helpful in what you call the long run, for they enable experiences to occur which then add to the lessons which are set forth by the entity.

M1 asked: “I have a question, Latwii, concerning multiple personalities. Is it good for the personality to become integrated or is it better for them to remain separate?” Latwii said we cannot make a general statement which covers each case, for there are entities who experience the phenomenon which you call the multiple personality for reasons that are knowable only to the entity and shall not be known fully for the entire incarnation, and it might be more helpful for an entity to have an unified focus of its being to work upon its evolution of mind, body, and spirit, for most upon your planet this is so, but it is possible that for some entities there is the need to splinter a portion of the self from another portion of the self, so that through the dynamic tension which is created between the portions which are split, a certain series of lessons might be had. Latwii continued by saying each entity upon your planet experiences some form of this splitting, for such splitting, when accomplished within certain boundaries, is a means for the enhancing of the experience of the entity in that certain portions of the self are then able to express their characteristics in more profound manners, and therefore might be more easily noticed by the entity as a whole or unified being.

This frequently causes the feelings of schizophrenia, shall we say, or the feelings of losing control of the self for a period of time. These instances are often helpful in what you call the long run, for they enable experiences to occur which then add to the lessons which are set forth by the entity. On August 22, 1982, Q’uo spoke of the nature of multiple personalities:

It is often the case with what you have called the multiple personalities that indeed those experiences of previous incarnations have been recalled to this particular incarnation, for there is some aspect of the current incarnation which is able to make use of these previous aspects of the self. It is also possible that portions of the multiple personality are from what we might also call parallel existences. There is occasionally the opening of the door between the deep portions of the unconscious mind, and these openings may then allow another aspect of this entity to experience the illusion which adjoins the illusion from whence it came. It is also possible that portions of the entity’s future being, as you would call it, may make up a part of the multiple personalities, for it is only within your illusion that time is perceived as sequential and linear. It is in truth more clearly and correctly stated that all of what you know of as creation occurs simultaneously. Just as there are many entities within each city, as you call it, going about their business at one time, so it is with each individual. The many portions of the self which seem to exist in what you call the past, the present, and the future are as the many entities inhabiting the city of the self and it is possible for entities from time to time to become aware of and experience these portions of the self.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M1: No, that’s very good. Thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii. Since we do not perceive further queries, may we say it has been a great honor to be asked to join your group this evening. We are most grateful for each opportunity to share our meager thoughts with those seekers who ask those queries which have meaning on their journey. We remind each that we are but your brothers and your sisters, and the thoughts we offer have no degree of infallibility. We suggest the contemplation and the acceptance of those which have meaning, and the discarding of any thoughts which have no value. At any time, should you ask our presence for your meditations, we would be most honored to join you. We leave you now, my friends, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “During the years of my own unfoldment it was necessary for me to let these commonly accepted synonyms for God to drop away one by one because it was not possible for me to know what those who revealed them meant by their use of these terms. When every concept had been brushed aside, I was left with the term the Infinite Invisible. Why the Infinite Invisible? Because the Infinite Invisible did not mean anything I could understand. Neither you nor I can grasp the Infinite; neither you nor I can see the Invisible. The Infinite Invisible is a term that denotes something which cannot be comprehended by the finite mind. That does not mean, however, that the Infinite Invisible is the correct term for God. It is correct for me, because it provides me with a term which my mind cannot encompass. That satisfies me. If I could grasp the meaning of the Infinite Invisible, it would be within the range of my human comprehension, and I do not want that kind of a God.

God cannot be known with the human mind, but if we listen and are still, in that stillness, God reveals Itself. Right where we are God is. Whither shall I flee from they presence? If I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there. The presence of God is within our consciousness. We do not have to reach out for God even mentally, or pursue God as if It was afar off or as if It were something difficult to attain. Many have found as they gave up their frantic search for God, learned to be able to be still, and ceased the parrotlike repetition of meaningless words and phrases, that one day there came an awakening, and they discovered that God had been right there beside them all the time, quietly whispering ‘‘Wait why don’t you stop and let Me have something to say?’’ How would that Me speak to us in a moment of helplessness if we were out on a desert, lost with no way for us to find human help and no way for human help to find us? As we listen, we hear Its whispered words.

The place whereon I stand is holy ground. Whither shall I flee from thy Spirit? ‘Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.’ Alone, yet not alone; helpless, yet not helpless; divine help is here where I am, and it does not have to find me, and I do not have to find it. God is here where I am. The kingdom of God is within me, for I and the Father are one. God is not lost, and I am sure God has not lost me. If I am here, God is here.

This afternoon I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves from around the fishpond and from the front of my home into a pile, and then I filled a garbage can with the leaves and put it at the end of the driveway.

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

January 22

Useful Challenges

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

Sometimes we have not the will to go on. Sometimes the consciousness within the body gazes upon the morning with rejection of all that it portends.

These times of discouragement are important. These times of difficulty are to be observed with great compassion and self-forgiveness, for it is within the framework of trouble and sorrow that much of your spiritual work is done. Therefore, do not chide yourself for your discouragement but rather, praise and thank the blessed Father that in the mysterious way of grace, such dark days may be seen to cause the greatest inner illumination.

Thus, to the discouraged we would say, “Take heart and know that trouble and difficulty are but useful challenges to a servant of the consciousness of Love.”

In that Love and that peace may you go forward this day and forevermore. 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 August 26, 1982:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are pleased, as always, to be called among you to be of service in this method you refer to as the channeling technique. We gladly offer our services in exercising the new channels as their desire deepens and grows with each day that passes on your planet. We often hear your calls to us, my friends, each day as you progress as through the rounds of your daily activities that make up your life and experiences. We hear your calls, and we are with you in each moment that your desire is open to us for our service, for our Love, we are there. Never doubt that our presence is always close to those who strive as continually and with such diligence as the ones who are gathered this evening. We are always close, my friends, always close enough should you ever put out a mental hand, a thought, and we are there. We know your desire is strong to serve in this fashion of channeling, to spread the light among the peoples in the service of your planet. Time grows short and ever more often there are people who see and seek the Light. There has been much done and much still that needs to be done. But even if one person is reached, my friends, then that has been a job well done. For in reaching only one person and sharing your light with that one person you have done a great service to mankind.

At this time, we would transfer this contact to another. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(M1 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. We are happy to be working with this instrument this evening as we are pleased to be with each of you this evening. My brothers and sisters, we are here among you to work with you, to help you develop in the service of channeling, the service of Love, and at times, the service of self-sacrifice for those around you, a sacrifice that may at times seem that you are ever giving, and you do not receive, and it is this way in everything you do through each day that you serve, you are also being served. For each person you interact with, do you not interact with yourself? For as you teach, are you not learning? As you reach to help one along by the hand, are they not in fact pulling you along?

The opportunity for you to be of service is so great, especially at this time. There are so many with needs, they are all around you. And as you look at each person, my friends, look within, recognize that the need they manifest is actually you and your need. So as you help them over that stumbling block, whatever it may be, you are in fact, my friends, learning to scale that barrier yourselves, moving along the path together arm in arm with those who are going along the same path, a very similar path, as different as it may appear in this, your illusion. Each person ultimately has the same goal, that of being one with the Creator, each person traveling that path experiencing the growth, the joy, the fulfillment together with you. They are you. Such a splendid opportunity you have. And we rejoice that you are eager to take this opportunity and grow the most from it. You have a gift, my brothers and sisters. Not a gift different than that those around you have, for they have it too, but you do recognize, more so than many of the others of your world, who you are and what you are capable of.

You are vested with a great deal of power, self-assurance, confidence, a faith, so to speak, a faith strong enough to accomplish all, to accomplish each and every desire. This is a combination of factors, my friends, that offers you the opportunity for great growth, great growth for those that are around you. We rejoice in seeing you grow, where possible, helping those around you grow. But you are not able to save your whole world, my friends. Everyone will have a chance to learn the lessons they came to learn. Should they not, then they will get the opportunity to again. If you have learned the lessons you came to learn you will get an opportunity from there on. Such is the path. Our blessings go with you, my friends. We will transfer this contact. I am

(A channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and we greet you once again in the Love and the Light of our one Creator. We wish to say just a few words through this instrument, for it has been some time since we have spoken through her. Remember that as you live in this world with all that you see, with all that you know, that there is always Love and Light. That power, that energy that comes from the Love and Light is strong and is always there. You are aware of it. Do not forget it. This instrument is tired. We will transfer the contact to another. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. There are times, my friends, when you feel that your service to your fellow beings is limited, and that you are not rendering very much service. If you wish to serve, you have but to ask, and the door will be opened before you. You need never doubt that the things you do for someone else are worthwhile. We have but to remember the words of the one known as Jesus who did nothing more than going about doing good. When you have a tendency to become discouraged, you have but to look about you, my friends, and see the beauty of nature, and it will most surely restore you. There is sufficient beauty in a sunset to give you encouragement when you have need. It has been a great joy and a great pleasure to be with you. I am Hatonn.

(M2 channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Always keep an open mind. Gather new ideas with wild abandon. If you cannot use them, gather them and store them as a miser stores gold. My friends, they are as valuable as gold. When an occasion comes that you need one of these ideas, you have them in reserve and can withdraw them and enlighten your problem. Find as much excitement in new ideas as you find in wealth. They are your true wealth. Look for them everywhere. Understand situations that you meet. Look at them from many angles. Love things that are different. You grow by understanding differences. I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I shall close through this instrument, offering many thanks to each instrument. We no longer call those present new instruments, for each is capable now of communicating not simply our identification, but our concepts. We most humbly and heartily thank you, each and every instrument present, for we are aware, at least to some small degree, of the many demands upon your time and your energy, and we know the hours that you have spent privately and in meetings with a group such as this one working on your service to others.

We speak one single basic message. And in each instrument, it has its own overtones and harmonies so that as many as possible might hear some portion, some version, some idea of our great fundamental theme of Love and service and be inspired thereby to the wild and perilous belief that such a thing as Love does exist in the world. To the casual eye, such a belief may seem foolhardy. We encourage you in your foolhardiness. It is the path, well-trodden by pilgrims from the beginning of creation. It is the one path, call it what you will, which circles back to the Source of all that there is. Think now upon each other, my friends. Picture one by one those faces who have become dear to you that are circled in the gentle light of evening as your planet’s sun moves beneath the rim of your sphere. Do you find one entity wise because of the age or the experience? Another wise because of a gift or a talent? Another wise because of some great service? Another wise because of some extraordinary amount of determination to seek?

We suggest that you cease finding any wise. There is no wisdom in age for all are children of one Creator. Nor is there wisdom in gifts, for those are given, not understood. There is no wisdom in service. That is an action like any other. Nor is there the wisdom in determination, for many have been determined for many reasons. These beloved faces, my friends, are all the faces of one being, each in a marvelous disguise. Each is the face of the Creator. Each mouth speaks the words of the Creator. Spend your love then, as brother and sister, encouraging, aiding, comforting. But know always what entity it is whom you serve. You serve the Creator, my friends, as do we, as do each of you in your mental vibratory configurations. We find each a perfect and wondrous delight and leave each of you our blessing. We shall be with you as always.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about the concepts of service and Love. They began by saying we speak one basic message, and in each instrument it has its own harmonies so that as many as possible might hear some version of our fundamental theme of Love and service and be inspired thereby to the wild belief that such a thing as Love does exist in the world, but to the casual eye such a belief may seem foolhardy, so we encourage you in your foolhardiness, for it is the path well-travelled by pilgrims from the beginning of creation, and it is the one path which circles back to the Source of all that there is, so think now upon each other, and picture one by one those faces who have become dear to you that are circled in the gentle light of evening as your planet’s sun moves beneath the rim of your sphere, and: “Do you find one entity wise because of the age or the experience? Another wise because of a gift or a talent? Another wise because of some great service? Another wise because of some extraordinary amount of determination to seek?” Then Hatonn said we suggest that you cease finding any wisdom, for there is no wisdom in age since all are children of one Creator, nor is there wisdom in gifts, for those are given, not understood, and there is no wisdom in service, for that is an action like any other, nor is there wisdom in determination, for many have been determined for many reasons, so these beloved faces are all the faces of one being, each in a marvelous disguise, and each is the face of the Creator, for each mouth speaks the words of the Creator, so spend your love then, as brother and sister, encouraging and comforting but know always what entity it is whom you serve, for you serve the Creator, as do we, as do each of you in your mental vibratory configurations, so we find each a perfect and wondrous delight and leave each of you our blessing, and we shall be with you as always. On July 8, 1994, Hatonn said that we all serve the Creator:

We speak to those who realize that there is one consciousness, and that this consciousness is equally available and useful to all those upon your planet. We have chosen to serve in the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator by sharing our thoughts with groups such as your own who call out to us. This is our service and our pleasure, and our beings thrill with the joy of being able to serve you, for you are ourselves. Just so, my friends, you are we, and we all are the Creator. To put it in quite another way, the unimaginable vastness and complexity of the universe is honed on the sharpness of the one Thought, and that is Love. That word, Love, has been greatly harmed by overuse among your people, so that when we say that all is Love, it may not mean what we wish it to mean. Therefore, we try to find infinitely various ways of saying that all is Light, that all is One, that all is the Creator, that all that you have to do within your illusion is serve each other, for in serving each other you serve the Creator.

We leave this instrument at this time in that Love and that Light which is the emanation of each of you that is the one Creator. Adonai vasu.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in Love and Light. We are most privileged to be asked to join your group this evening. We thank each of you, for it is our great honor to be asked to provide the humble service of attempting to answer your queries. Remember always, my friends, we are your brothers and sisters and know only a small amount concerning the mystery of the creation which we share with you. Gladly though do we share that pittance that is ours. May we ask if there might be a question at this time?

K: Yes. In a former session, maybe a couple of weeks ago, something was said. I’m not sure that I got it accurate, about the planet is growing, or something about the growth of the planet and after I got home, I wasn’t sure of the meaning. It seems to me the planet is being destroyed rather than growing. Did I get that wrong?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Your planet undergoes a process of evolution as does each entity upon its surface. Many entities throughout this process of evolution may incur those difficulties which seem to be the stoppage of growth, the decay, the disease, the trauma that threatens to cease the experience of the illusion. Yet do not all entities make progress through such circumstances and find, shall we say, the Light at the end of the long and dark tunnel? So then, my sister, does your planet itself make progress and become transformed through the many experiences which the entities as cultures and races upon its surface experience. This entity, which is your planet, is having what might be called a difficult labor. There are the wars and rumors of wars as you call them. There are the changes in the garment of the surface of your planet. There are the personal difficulties of the inhabitants of each culture upon your planet’s surface. There are the difficulties in the harmonizing of the vibrations of the density which you leave and the density which you enter. Yet your planet grows. And yet your planet shall be born anew and shall be a new entity, as will those entities be new which remain with it.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Yes, let me see if I can understand it a little better. What we see, and which looks like destruction, revolution, etc., etc., is really an illusion. There is still an evolutionary process going on that is growth? Fairly accurately?

I am Latwii. My sister, your statement is most accurate. From the ashes does the phoenix rise.

May we answer you further?

K: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you. Is there another question at this time?

S1: Yes, Latwii, I have a question. For the past week and a half or two weeks the one known as G and I have been experiencing an extreme state of physical fatigue even though we have both been getting enough rest and that sort of thing. Could this fatigue be due to a draining of or a scattering of the vital energies?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, it is possible for entities who seek a solution to the mysteries of being and who are willing to undergo those transformations which present themselves as opportunities to the seeker for an experience of that which might be called a spiritual weariness. The path of the seeker is a path which has its price, that is to say, from time to time there is the expenditure of much energy so that understanding, to use a poor term, might be enlarged, the bounds of the being might be expanded to include a new way. This might be likened unto those growing pains, that you call them, for the physical vehicle during the early parts of the incarnation. The spiritual seeker, like the young entity of your illusion, finds new capabilities opening up within the being as the seeking increases in intensity. As these new ways of being, perceiving, and thinking continue to be experienced by the seeker, there is the effort that is necessary to procure them and seek them within the being of the seeker. Such an effort is primarily of a spiritual nature but has its mental, emotional, and physical counterparts so that the stretching of the being in all these complexes then on occasion causes the entity to experience that which is commonly known to your peoples as weariness. Be not discouraged in any degree or sense by this weariness, for it is simply that which you have reached for is now a part of your being. And as it becomes more uniformly a part of your being, then you shall grow new spiritual muscles, shall we say.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S1: No, thank you very much, Latwii.

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

Carla: Latwii, if we’re light on questions tonight, I would like to ask a question for my friend S2. S2 is a wanderer who continues seeking all by herself year after year with no help or support from any close friend and only the love and support of friends like me and like you to aid her. She has wondered whether she might not be a part of a kind of experiment in wanderers, a part of an experiment which places wanderers in various positions. She’s very weary of waiting, and although she knows that she’s equal to the necessity of continuing to wait for years and years if necessary, her real fear is that she will completely miss her ability to perform her mission. I have the feeling that there are many wanderers who have become aware that they have come to this Earth for a reason but as yet do not have any guidance as to what it is and are in similar circumstances of mind as to how to determine what to do. Could you comment on her plight and the possibility of what she calls the experiment?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. May we begin by suggesting that this entity, as all entities, is supported daily by the creation which it inhabits. No entity, in truth, is without support, for the entire creation is alive with the original Thought of the experiencing …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am with this instrument once again. The original Logos, shall we say, began this octave of creation. Each entity travels a path which it has chosen before it entered the incarnation. The nature of the path varies from entity to entity so that in truth it might be said each entity experiments with its own beingness. Those entities which have recently been called wanderers upon your planet are entities which not only come to grow within the bounds of their own being, but to aid those of your planet which seek the lessons of Love for the first time. Each wanderer has the desire to be of a certain type of service besides the general desire to serve. Whether the talents of each are developed to a finely tuned degree, shall we say, is the determination of each entity during the incarnation. For each is presented with that programming, as you may call it, which wells up from the deeps of the unconscious mind. Each entity, then, sees about it the catalyst which provokes and promotes the remembering or reconfiguring of the original intent.

Many become distracted for greater or lesser periods of time by the illusion which they inhabit, for the illusion is an intense one and is most easily able to redirect the attention of many who seek to be of service within it. We are unable to determine any specific experiment for the one which you have called S2 apart from the experiment which each entity undertakes as the third-density illusion is entered and utilized for growth and service. We suggest to each entity which questions in this regard that the meditation upon those queries will bring those responses and glimpses of truth from the great depths of being of the unconscious mind. And by so seeking shall the entity be able to rest the conscious mind and know that there are in truth no mistakes. There are only opportunities to be of service and to expand the experience of the one infinite Creator.

Carla asked a question for S2: “S2 is a wanderer who continues seeking all by herself year after year with no help or support from any close friend and only the love and support of friends like me and like you to aid her. She has wondered whether she might not be a part of a kind of experiment in wanderers, a part of an experiment which places wanderers in various positions. She’s very weary of waiting, and although she knows that she’s equal to the necessity of continuing to wait for years and years if necessary, her real fear is that she will completely miss her ability to perform her mission. I have the feeling that there are many wanderers who have become aware that they have come to this Earth for a reason but as yet do not have any guidance as to what it is and are in similar circumstances of mind as to how to determine what to do. Could you comment on her plight and the possibility of what she calls the experiment?” Latwii began by saying may we begin by suggesting that this entity, as all entities, is supported daily by the creation which it inhabits, and no entity is without support, for the entire creation is alive with the original Thought of Love, and the original Logos began this octave of creation, so each entity travels a path which it has chosen before it entered the incarnation, and the nature of the path varies from entity to entity so that it might be said each entity experiments with its own beingness, and those entities called wanderers upon your planet are entities which not only come to grow within the bounds of their own being but to aid those of your planet which seek the lessons of Love for the first time, for each wanderer has the desire to be of a certain type of service besides the general desire to serve, and whether the talents of each are developed to a finely tuned degree is the determination of each entity during the incarnation, for each is presented with that programming which wells up from the deeps of the unconscious mind, so each entity sees about it the catalyst which promotes the of the original intent. Latwii continued by saying many become distracted for greater or lesser periods of time by the illusion which they inhabit, for the illusion is an intense one and is most easily able to redirect the attention of many who seek to be of service within it, but we are unable to determine any specific experiment for S2 apart from the experiment which each entity undertakes as the third-density illusion is entered and utilized for growth and service, so we suggest to each entity which questions in this regard that meditation upon those queries will bring those glimpses of truth from the depths of the unconscious mind, and by seeking shall the entity be able to rest the conscious mind and know that there are no mistakes, for there are only opportunities to be of service and to expand the experience of the one infinite Creator. On April 15, 1984, Latwii said that there are no mistakes:

This is a most interesting query, for it appears quite complex, and, indeed, may be such unless one is able to distill the heart of Love from each complexity and therein find the simplicity of Love which is to serve. We suggest that as foundation to our reply it be stated that there are no mistakes, a phrase which has found frequent utterance in this dwelling, yet let us reaffirm its truth. As you move through this illusion, you cannot err, for each movement serves, and each movement teaches. The question then which the seeker must ask is, “How do I wish to serve, and what do I wish to learn?”

Of course, the answers to these queries have, in part, been programmed before the incarnation. Yet throughout the incarnation free will may alter any answer. It may be that the great desire of one for a particular action is reason enough for the action to be taken, especially if the other wishes to serve in its own way by granting that request. It may also be that difficulties shall arise when the one which lacked the great desire to begin with, but found a desire to serve later, finds some regret in the future. Yet, is this not also an opportunity to once again find Love and to serve and to learn?

You see we cannot give you an answer which is clear-cut, for each has lessons and services that are unique, and when joined with another are doubly unique, and there are no mistakes. The questions we suggest the seeker then ask are as we have stated. What lessons are desired? And what services are desired? Let the decisions emanate from those answers resting upon the foundation of knowledge that there are no mistakes possible, and that Love is always available.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, just a bit. First, I would like to thank you for that answer. I know my sister S2 well enough to say that she will continue wondering beyond any bounds what she is to do, but your words of comfort will undoubtedly help her. I would like to ask just one little detail of the experiment thing that she was working on in her last letter. She said during her regression she at one point referred to her teachers and said that she was their seed. This is part of her experiment idea. These teachers were beautiful, wise, golden beings whom she loved dearly and who loved her as dearly in another density and in another time. Would you comment on her feeling on that relationship for her?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. The planetary entities which form the various members of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator are as one being, each unto themselves, though they are many in number. Each portion of such a social memory complex, as you have come to known them, is therefore, a seed of that grouping or social memory complex. As each portion then is sent out to be that which you have called the wanderer, then the seeds of that complex are sown throughout the universe of the one infinite Creator. The seeds of Light are planted within the darkness. There it is hoped that there shall be the nourishment of the great central sun from which all springs so that the growth, the eventual flowering and fruiting of these entities might be accomplished, and that those who dwell in the so-called darkness might then have the opportunity to taste of the Love and Light of the one Creator. In this way each entity, therefore, is the seed.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Just to clarify it for my understanding. What you’re saying then is what she perceived as teachers were part of her social memory complex that she found herself being separated from as seed when she made the decision to come here as a wanderer. Is that right?

I am Latwii and am aware of this query, my sister. This is, in general, correct. There is, of course, within each social memory complex the variety of relationships which you might expect to find within any grouping of entities, where some teach in certain areas and learn in yet others, all being teachers and all being students, yet in certain areas of service might one find teachers tutoring students who then undertake the laboratory experiment, shall we say.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No. I’ll send that off to S2 and ask questions only if she asks me to. Thank you so much, Latwii.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my sister. Is there another question at this time?

M1: Yes, Latwii. I think you’ve already answered it, but I want to try it on you for size. I’ll be making some decisions here, and I recognize there are no mistakes, and there are no detours, but is there a watchword of sorts which you might have that I should perhaps key on in the rest of my search for the rest of my path here for the near future?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We hesitate to give the word in any sense which would direct your attention away from those concerns which are unique to your being at this time. We wish to be of service without infringing upon free will and feel that we might be of the best aid by suggesting that you look in meditation within your being at the purpose for the life. Look then as well to the opportunities which present themselves. Find the balance which is unique to your seeking and to your being.

May we answer you further, my brother?

M1: I think you did pretty well. In fact, that was a better answer than I’m used to getting from you, pardner. Thank you.

I am Latwii and am most appreciative of your compliment, my brother. We are not always able to earn them, as you are aware. May we ask if there might be another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii. We thank you, my brothers and sisters for allowing us to join with you this evening. Your vibrations have been most delicious, shall we say. To taste of the seeking that is pure, clear, and intensified through what you call time is to taste of the very essence of the one infinite Creator. To grow, to know, to share, and to be, by these modes do you in your incarnations reproduce the nature of the one Creator. We are privileged to be but a small part of this process. We thank each of you for allowing us to blend our vibrations with yours on evenings such as this one. We are with you whenever requested. We shall at this time take our leave of this group, though in truth, always are we one. Then in that Love and Light do we leave you now. We are known to you as Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai, vasu, borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “God is one: one Power, one Law, one Substance, one Cause. This teaching of oneness is probably the highest spiritual teaching ever given to the world. The entire ministry of the Master, Christ Jesus, was based on the old Hebrew teaching of the idea of God as one: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.’ According to Genesis in the beginning God created the world and all that therein is. Anything that God did not create was not created, was not made. In the light of this truth there is only one Substance, and because there is only one Substance, there is no substance to be destroyed, to be healed, or to be improved. There is only one Law, and, therefore, we cannot use the law of God to destroy any other law or its effects. When we understand God as Life, there is only one Life, and we can never have a life to save, or heal, or redeem. There is only one.

Now that we know all these things about God, let us look at them as landmarks along the road we have been traveling, but landmarks we have long since passed; and let us forget all of them. No one is ever going to find God until they are stopped of all their concepts of God, until they leave behind every synonym for God they have ever heard and launch forth into the unknown to discover the Unknowable. There is no such thing as a thought about God or a concept of God that is correct because a concept always remains a concept.

How, then, do we arrive at a realization of what God is? After we have become well-grounded in the letter of truth, there comes a time when we must be willing to admit that all our knowledge about God has been in the realm of the intellect, and that nothing we can know with the mind is absolute truth. Nothing that we can think about God is truth; nothing we can read in a book about God is truth because they represent merely limited, human opinions about God. To John God was revealed as Love, but we cannot accept that as truth because we do not know what Love is in the sense which John understood and used the term. To Jesus, God was Father, because the deeper meaning of that word was revealed within the consciousness of Jesus. The realization of God must come as an individual unfoldment to every aspirant on the spiritual path.”

This afternoon I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves in my back yard into a pile. Then I put them into a garbage can and out on the street for trash pickup tomorrow morning.

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

January 21

For Those Who Trust

I am the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, the gift and manifestation of the Son of Man, the servant of all. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

If you ask the outer world what conditions are pleasant for growth you may, perhaps, not find the conditions which appear before you this day. Much may seem out of place, disquieting, and disturbing. The peace of the Spirit of Love is that peace which trusts that the consciousness of love abides in each and every situation and that, in the outworking of time, the justice of the sweep of the world’s actions may eventually be seen. From day to day, however, without the benefit of hindsight, the Spirit of God lies in wait for those who trust.

May you trust the superior and final nature of Love, both this day and forever. Amen.  

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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