I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from August 9, 1978:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. May we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator extend our blessings and our Love to each of you as you sit in this group this afternoon. We hover above you in a very large and well-appointed craft with our comforts taken care of, my friends, with all our needs satisfied, the vehicles that carry our spirits totally removed from a condition of want. This, my friends, allows our spirits a state of unlimited freedom. And as we travel without limitation from one level to another within the creation of the Creator, we seek what we have always sought. We seek what you would term happiness.

My friends, if happiness does not mean physical needs being satisfied, then it begins to mean something else and we, my friends, as a civilization, have traveled many more dimensions in thought than you can imagine in pursuit of that which is real and which satisfies our understandings. And we have found one understanding only that constitutes our happiness, and that understanding, my friends, is very, very simple. The understanding that we are one, and that our oneness is that of Love, is the complete and total message that we have come to give those of planet Earth.

Hatonn wanted to share the nature of their being and why they contacted this group. They began by saying we hover above you in a large and well-furnished craft with our comforts taken care of, and with all our needs satisfied, and the vehicles that carry our spirits totally removed from a condition of want, so this allows our spirits a state of unlimited freedom, and as we travel without limitation from one level to another within the creation of the Creator, we seek what you would term happiness. Then Hatonn said if happiness does not mean physical needs being satisfied, then it begins to mean something else, and we have traveled many more dimensions in thought than you can imagine in pursuit of that which is real and which satisfies our understandings, so we have found one understanding only that constitutes our happiness, and that understanding is very simple, for it is the understanding that we are one, and that our oneness is that of Love which is the complete message that we have come to give those of planet Earth. On October 13, 2019, Q’uo described the nature of happiness:

Thus, we recommend that one look at the experience of happiness as that which also might be balanced to one’s benefit, so that the happiness which may have its antithesis as sadness, be seen as transitory experiences of the nature of your reality and of your own being. As one then sees a new level of happiness, perhaps emerging within one that is more spiritually oriented, the happiness of the feeling of Love unconditional for all those about one, the happiness of seeking the One at each moment of one’s existence, the happiness of feeling Love for all of the creation, and so forth.

That you are one, my brothers and sisters, and that the nature of unity is Love, is the truth as we understand it, that we come to share. For you see, my friends, if you are not distracted by the demands of your day-to-day struggle for existence within the physical plane, then you are free to examine your existence as a being in infinite time and space. Now, because you are a being, my friends, there is always a dynamic between that which you now understand and that which you desire to know. We are as intense in our desire to progress as are you. The only difference, my friends, is that we have discovered that we can progress most effectively as a species with our minds and our hearts linked in one desire.

And what desire is it, my friends, that gives us happiness? It is the desire, my friends, to share our Love with others, the desire to be of service to others. For we have found, since we have no need of the limitations of the physical dimensions, that in spirit “each of you are we” and “we are each of you.” My friends, we are one being. We are not two. We are not several. Whatever the difference is in our condition, those differences are an illusion. For we are all one being formed in Love. Like rays of an infinite and everlasting Light, we have shot out through the prisms of our hopes and our dreams, and we are each in a unique vibratory position, relative to that Great Central Sun of being which we call the Creator.

Then Hatonn said that you are one, my brothers and sisters, and that the nature of unity is Love and the truth as we understand it that we come to share, for you see if you are not distracted by the demands of your day-to-day struggle for existence within the physical plane, then you are free to examine your existence as a being in infinite time and space, and because you are a being there is always a dynamic between that which you understand and that which you desire to know, so we are as intense in our desire to progress as are you, but the only difference is that we have discovered that we can progress most effectively as a species with our minds and our hearts linked in one desire. Then Hatonn went on to say it is the desire to share our Love with others, the desire to be of service to others that gives us happiness, for we have found, since we have no need of the limitations of the physical dimensions, that in spirit “each of you are we” and “we are each of you,” so we are one being, and whatever the difference is in our condition, those differences are an illusion, for we are all one being formed in Love, and like rays of an infinite and everlasting Light, we have shot out through the prisms of our hopes and our dreams, and we are each in a unique vibratory position, relative to that Great Central Sun of being which we call the Creator. On February 25, 2023, Q’uo described the great central sun:

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.

In meditation, my friends, you can begin to take the prism effect away. When a prism is removed from a light source, the many, many colors and shades of your rainbow become one white Light. And so, it is with each of you, my friends. It is as though you sat in love and contemplation together. Your vibrations shoot off into infinite space as a collection of harmonizing colors and yet, remove that understanding one dimension closer to the Creator, and one sees only the white Light of all embracing Love. Love, my friends, with a purpose. For nothing in creation exists without purpose. Each of you, my friends, has a purpose.

In the past, your contemplations of tomorrow have brought about the present. Those things that you have desired at that time have come to fruition at this time. Yes, my friends, ask and you shall receive, and those things that you have asked for you have received. The future, my friends, as you call that illusion, is yours completely, at this moment. That which you desire will form and sculpture the harmony and the arrangements of your events to come in the future. Therefore, we ask you, desire carefully, my friends. And when you have considered your desire, prosecute it, intensify it, purify it and seek it with all your heart.

Hatonn went on to say in meditation you can begin to take the prism effect away, and when a prism is removed from a Light source, the many colors and shades of your rainbow become one white Light, and so it is with each of you, for it is as though you sat in Love and contemplation together, and your vibrations shoot off into infinite space as a collection of harmonizing colors and yet, remove that understanding one dimension closer to the Creator, and one sees only the white Light of all embracing Love with a purpose, for nothing in creation exists without purpose, and each of you has a purpose. Hatonn continued by saying in the past, your contemplations of tomorrow have brought about the present, so those things that you have desired at that time have come to fruition at this time, so ask and you shall receive, and those things that you have asked for you have received, and the future as you call that illusion, is yours at this moment, for that which you desire will form the harmony of your events to come in the future, so we ask you, desire carefully, and when you have considered your desire purify it and seek it with all your heart. On June 19, 2005, Q’uo described how we can seek with all of our heart:

Visualize what you need very precisely and then, my sister, realize that you have created a thing, for thoughts are things. Let it take wing! Let it work within itself, as this instrument has been studying. Do not hold it to yourself and repeat over those things that you need. But, each day, form one complete visualization. Ask with all your heart. Then release it.

Did the one known as Jesus the Christ not say to pray, “This day, give us our daily bread”? It is important to keep the focus local, to keep the moment as that moment which is present, and yet at the same time to know that, as a person of power, what you visualize you will create. We always say to this instrument… be careful what you ask for, for you shall receive it.

In meditation, open your heart to your desire. Enter the Love that is about you and is empowering you. We are not with you to inform you as to what your desire might be. We cannot suggest to your planet and to its people the content of their desires. Nor should you, as you go among your people, judge others on the content of their desires, so they be different than yours. But for yourself, attempt in Love to seek that which you most truly desire. And the white Light and Love of the creation will be yours to use.

Hatonn continued by saying in meditation, open your heart to your desire, and enter the Love that is about you and is empowering you, but we are not with you to inform you as to what your desire might be, and we cannot suggest to your planet and to its people the content of their desires, nor should you, as you go among your people, but judge others on the content of their desires, so they be different than yours, but for yourself, attempt in Love to seek that which you truly desire, and the white Light and Love of the creation will be yours to use. On October 4, 1998, Q’uo spoke of the value of knowing what we truly desire:

And in the silence you can put the question: “What do I truly desire?” and then you can listen. Listening to that graceful and yet muscular silence is a discipline of the personality that will never disappoint the persistent listener. Simply allowing the distortions of the moment, the confusions of the day to slip away can put one into the heart’s sanctum sanctorum, that inner sacristy of silence and prayer where the Creator waits infinitely and patiently. The Creator awaits each of you within your own heart, within that deep silence that is within that room within the heart, for truly the holy of holies is within you, and within you are not only all of the instructions for this life and for this period of learning but, indeed, all of the instructions whatsoever for the you that you are before time was.

I would like to transfer at this time to the one known as N. I am Hatonn.

(N channeling)

We greet you in the light and love of the Creator. My friends, it gives me pleasure, as you might say, to be with you at this time. We feel the energy generated by your group is a most joyous occasion, limited by your senses. You are not aware of the vibrations you send out as a group. These vibrations spread unstoppingly and affect beings. Some are conscious of this, most are not.

When you come together as a group, what you will call Love is generated, my friends. You recognize it as high or good feelings or indescribable feelings within you. It is but a small, small speck, we would say, of the total picture that we consider to be reality. We do not feel superior to you, for truly we are you! We realize this can be abstract, stating that individuals are in reality not individuals but are one. If you truly desire to find the truth of what we said, we suggest meditation—as usual. This method will aid you greatly in solving the puzzles of not seeing reality.

My friends, we have talked to you on various occasions, and we feel there are very few times in which we have not mentioned meditation. We feel we pound it into your heads, so to speak. But only you can reach within your head. And if you feel you are not achieving this as quickly as you would like, we ask you, do not worry about it. For in reality, my friends, there is no time, there is no hurry. We are available to you because at this particular point of your journey there is an opportunity for you to become aware more quickly. We feel very good communicating with you in this manner. But it is not necessary, for if any individual desires our thoughts, we are with you instantly; no matter the situation you are in, no matter what you are doing. It won’t matter, we are with you, if you desire. We send you love, my friends; we love you, and we feel the vibrations of love within you. It is a joyous occasion. At this time I will transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

[The recording becomes difficult to hear to the end of the tape.]

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn. As my Laitos moves among you at this time to work with some of those of you who desire to become channels. I would at this time attempt to make contact and speak just a few words to the one known as Jim McCarty. If he would relax and mentally request our contact, we will [inaudible]. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. I am again with the instrument. We are adjusting our beam to make it more of a sharp and less broad band and then we will again attempt to contact the one known as Jim McCarty. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am again with this instrument. We thank you for your patience. We are having difficulty with the one known as Jim due to the large reserve of energy which lies within this instrument’s aura. We are generating some, shall we say, feed back, and it is not a smooth contact with you. However, at any time the instrument desires to work with our contact, he needs only mentally request our conditioning, and the one known as Laitos will be with you.

At this time, I would like to work with the one known as A. If she would relax, we will attempt to say a sentence or two through this instrument. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am again with this instrument. We thank the one known as A for the privilege of working with her. We have barely made contact. However, there is some tension or confusion, as you might call it, on the part of the instrument, due to largeness of [inaudible] and again we say that we are most happy to work with each new instrument at any time it may be requested.

If you will bear with us, we would like to attempt to contact the one known as E. It is necessary that the instrument relax and speak thoughts as they float through his mind without regard to their analysis or judgment. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(E channeling)

I am Hatonn…

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn, and we greatly thank the one known as E. The experience of contact somewhat blew away the channel. This is a common experience and easily overcome with practice. We are most pleased and so happy to work with each of you. If you can be patient for one moment more, we would like this opportunity to acquaint the one known as H with our vibration. We wish to do this very carefully. [Inaudible] the one known as Laitos will pass amongst each of you and attempt to aid you, strengthening your own spiritual vibrations. For, my friends, this is all our conditioning wave is, and it is not, shall we say, a wave that is foreign to you but one which we attempt to tailor to yours so that the cosmic energy that we are able to tap into by our conditioning is made available to you in your own unique pattern. At this time I would open the meeting for questions.

Questioner: Do you feel there is still a need for more channels like we have in this case?

Hatonn: I am aware of your question. We have a great need for channels. But it is not in a sense of an attempt to start, shall we say, an organization, which grows in numbers and converts as with the church. There is a need for the truth on your planet, a dire need which is expressed by many. The truth has in many cases become distorted by those who are the most ignorant to offer it. We ourselves are aware that we distort the truth by speaking in verbal communication rather than allowing only silence instead of thoughts. But we feel that you, too, see, shall we say, an archetypical method of communication, which we employ and which uses a “now” organization, or shall we say geometry, ¹ so we possibly have less distortions in our discussion of true understanding. A great part of our truth lies in the fact that we do not claim to be telling the entire truth, for it is our humble feeling that we do not know the absolute truth.

However, many of those among your people are reaching out in their day-to-day lives for a meaning which is beyond that which is experienced in the daily realm of your being. It is possible to consider, if one is a philosopher, that there may be no meaning; and many of those who seek spiritually have, sadly but honestly, come to the conclusion that all things that they hear are less than true, and therefore there is no ultimate meaning. We bring a message of Love, a message of ultimate joy, meaning and brightness to the universe.

We do not say that all things are easy on a day-to-day basis. We do not turn our backs on the horrors and indignities that you experience. We say only that they are lessons and therefore a part of a journey whose end is, surely and without any error, that of total love and total joy. We say this to people who are seeking that truth, but do not want to believe that life is random and that all things may be wrong. We ask people to consider our words and only if they speak to that which is already in their hearts to adopt it as something to examine and investigate on their own. Yes, my brother, there is a great need of channels. Not of the UFO message as such, but only of Love. Love itself, my brother, is our only message. Does this answer your question?

Questioner: Yes, thank you.

Hatonn: Is there another question?

[Pause]

Hatonn: I am working with this instrument, if you will be patient.

[Pause]

I would like to respond briefly to a question which has not been asked, but which was earlier asked before your meditation. We refer to the question of good and evil. It is one to record, my friends. We ask you to understand that like all opposites, that it is the result of being in motion. When one is in motion, there is that which is ahead and that which is behind. If you could understand yourselves as beings which have been sent out from a great central source, and which are at varying speeds making a great circular return to that central source, then you can begin to understand good and evil.

At one point in your evolution, my friends, you were at the farthest point from the central source, which we call Creator for want of another word. There was nothing behind and nothing in front of you, when you began your travel. As you moved toward that great Light, that great central sun, Light is before you and darkness behind you. Wisdom before you and ignorance behind you. Those who wish to gain power may gain it in one of two ways—by aiding and abetting that journey towards the Light which is called good, or by, shall we say, applying the brakes in progress and attempting to reenter that portion of the cycle which has already been which is called evil.

Now Hatonn began to speak about good and evil. They began by saying I would like to respond briefly to a question which has not been asked, but which was earlier asked before your meditation, and we refer to the question of good and evil, so it is one to record, and we ask you to understand that like all opposites, that it is the result of being in motion, for when one is in motion, there is that which is ahead and that which is behind, so if you could understand yourselves as beings which have been sent out from a great Central Source, and which are at varying speeds making a great circular return to that Central Source, then you can begin to understand good and evil. Now Hatonn said at one point in your evolution you were at the farthest point from the Central Source, which we call Creator for want of another word since there was nothing behind and nothing in front of you when you began your travel, and as you moved toward that great Central Sun, Light is before you and darkness behind you, wisdom before you and ignorance behind you, so those who wish to gain power may gain it in one of two ways: by aiding that journey towards the Light, which is called good, or by applying the brakes in progress and attempting to reenter that portion of the cycle which has already been which is called evil. On April 29, 1979, Hatonn spoke about the journey that we take towards the Light:

There may be a finite number, but we cannot find the end of the densities which lead to the perfect life. Therefore, we are in the position of saying that, as far as we know, the path towards the Light is infinite. It is a mystery to us how a path could be infinite and yet one could reach the end. We have no knowledge of the end of this path, for it disappears into perfection.

If you can understand that at the end of your journey, when you are without motion, there will be no good or evil. It may help you to that which you see as evil at this point. The principle which drives those who are vibrating in what you would call the evil range is that of separation. They are attempting to separate themselves from the great central Source. They are attempting to become more and more individualized, thereby shutting themselves off from power and Love of the creation. The type of power that this generates is similar to that which is generated by the applying of brakes in one of your automobiles. It is a friction which generates a good deal of heat. Because this power is so obvious in being seen and felt, and because power in and of itself is admired on planet Earth, many vibrate in the direction of evil, for they can see that they are powerful. Those who attempt to accelerate towards the good are deliberately giving up more and more of their individuality and taking on more and more of the Love and power of that Central Sun source.

That which is separate within them is gradually burnt away, and thus they become Lights that truly lighten the darkness up. We wish you to understand, my friends, that there is nothing good or evil about good and evil; they are valid choices in a universe of motion. We have found it is appropriate to us to accelerate our journey towards the Central source, for we have found that union with each other and with the Creator is joy and happiness, and we prefer laughter to power. We can only ask that you have compassion for the great evil that is within your energy at this time. All of those who are applying the brakes will one day choose otherwise. That much is a metaphor, my friends. Meanwhile, monitor your own progress and make your own choice.

Hatonn began by saying if you can understand that at the end of your journey, when you are without motion, there will be no good or evil, and it may help you to understand that which you see as evil, the principle which drives those who are vibrating in the evil range is that of separation, for they are attempting to separate themselves from the great central Source by attempting to become more individualized, thereby shutting themselves off from the power and Love of the creation, so the type of power that this generates is similar to that which is generated by applying the brakes in one of your automobiles, and it is a friction which generates a good deal of heat, so because this power is obvious in being seen and felt, and because power is admired on planet Earth, many vibrate in the direction of evil, for they can see that they are powerful, and those who attempt to accelerate towards the good are deliberately giving up more of their individuality and taking on more of the Love and power of that Central Sun source. Then Hatonn continued by saying that which is separate within them is gradually burnt away, and thus they become Lights that truly light the darkness up, and we wish you to understand that there is nothing good or evil about good and evil, for they are valid choices in a universe of motion, and we have found it is appropriate to us to accelerate our journey towards the Central Source, for we have found that union with each other and with the Creator is joy and happiness, and we prefer laughter to power, and we can only ask that you have compassion for the great evil that is within your energy at this time, so all of those who are applying the brakes will one day choose otherwise, so monitor your progress and make your own choice. On March 29, 2001, Q’uo described how each of us seeks union with the Creator:

The self of each seeker desires union with the Creator, desires knowledge of the Creator, of the self and of the creation. This knowledge, passionately sought, willingly sacrificed for, may only be obtained when one is willing to give of the self in a degree which is reflective of this great desire. Thus, the experiences that each so eagerly seeks within each incarnation are dearly bought. The greater sacrifice purchases, shall we say, the greater knowledge, experience, union, and presence of the one Creator.

Are there any other questions?

[Pause]

I would close through the one known as B. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. My friends, you spoke to us about, shall we say, your individual path. My friends, there is much ahead in your spiritual growth, my friends. You will reap a reward well worth the path of which you think is lost. My friends, continue in your meditations. I will leave you now. I am Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I went outside and used the garden hose and wand to water the Dianthus along the parking area in front of my home. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves from my Tulip Tree in the back yard out of my neighbor’s driveway and into my back yard so that I could put them into four garbage cans for yard waste pickup next Thursday.

This afternoon I drove over to the Anchorage Post Office to mail a letter that contained my eulogy for Carla’s passing into larger life to my cousin who lives in Wickenburg, AZ.

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

August 18

Contentment

I am the principle of that force behind creation, the Love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness which is the consciousness of Love.

This instrument is not prepared for what we are to say this morning. For this instrument thought we were speaking upon the subject of contentment. No matter how active the mind of mankind, the Spirit is ever more active in its capacity to surprise, for we speak of a higher contentment, the contentment of vulnerability and seeming lack; the contentment of babes unclothed and people hungry; the contentment that becomes a fire within to clothe the naked and feed the hungry; that contentment which makes all creatures children of a meaningful and life-giving God and all God’s creatures meaningful and life-giving people.

Look in contentment at the world of strife and need and respond with a full heart, praying ever the invitation to the Spirit of the living Christ to enter into every seeming lack, in meditation, and multiply plenty. Your consciousness is a gift and a responsibility. May you be content to love others as you love yourself.

We leave you in the growing peace of the realization of infinite Love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from July 5, 1978:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am with the instrument. It is a blessing to speak with each of you, and we greet those who have not sat with this group for awhile and offer them our Love. My friends, we always speak to you of one simple thing: the Love of the Creator. We are aware that, from your horizon, this Love does not seem to be accessible in many ways in your daily life. And yet we say to you, my friends, that this Love is closer to you than your breathing; more easily accessible than your own hands and feet; more familiar to you than your own thoughts. This Love was the pattern from which each of you was stamped. Yes, my friends, each of you stamped in complete identity. And that same Love that made you each the same has touched each with a unique part in that identity so that the universe is an identity and a harmony at the same time.

Where are you going, my brothers, that you can use this information? To what can you reach out, my sisters, so that you can make use of the knowledge of Love? What dramatic inquiry can you prosecute so that you can demonstrate Love in the court of your daily life? Perhaps some of you, my friends, have had the experience of having an object in your lives, some, shall we say, daily, simple, physical object such as what this instrument would call a carpet which has become dull and worn and perhaps torn in places through years of daily, careless use. And yet, my friends, if you pick it up and look on the unused side, it is still perfect. In daily use, Love becomes worn and shabby. This, my friends, is through carelessness of use. We always urge meditation, and it is simply because, in meditation, you establish contact with that part of yourself that understands the nature of Love.

To begin this session Hatonn said they always speak to us of one thing: the Love of the Creator, and they are aware that, from our experience, this Love does not seem to be accessible in many ways in our life, yet they say to us that this Love is closer to us than our breathing; more easily accessible than our own hands and feet; more familiar to us than our thoughts, for this Love was the pattern from which each of us was stamped in complete identity, and that same Love that made each of us the same has touched each with a unique part in that identity so that the universe is an identity and a harmony at the same time. Then Hatonn said: “Where are you going, my brothers, that you can use this information? To what can you reach out, my sisters, so that you can make use of the knowledge of Love? What dramatic inquiry can you prosecute so that you can demonstrate Love in the court of your daily life?” Hatonn went on to say perhaps some of us have had the experience of having an object in our lives, some simple, physical object such as what Carla would call a carpet which has become dull and worn and perhaps torn in places through years of daily use, and yet if we pick it up and look on the unused side, it is still perfect, and in daily use Love becomes worn, and this is through carelessness of use, so Hatonn always urges meditation, and it is because, in meditation, we establish contact with that part of ourself that understands the nature of Love. On January 22, 1995, Q’uo spoke of the nature of Love:

If entities have a desire to experience Love to the best of their understanding of this concept, then the desire will be to give Love without expectation of return, for that which is Love is that which gives rather than that which takes, though it is true that Love, when fully experienced, is that which both gives and receives. However, the concept which you have spoken of here is that which is felt by one and not another, and in this case, there is the participation in what is felt to be Love by one and not the other. Therefore, the one who feels the Love, if it be Love indeed, then this entity would desire to give to the other that which the other wished, and this entity would seek, then, to know the desires of the other, and, once having ascertained what these desires were, would bend every effort to satisfy these desires.

For entities to truly know Love it is necessary to surrender whatever idea the self may have as regards the nature of Love and then to be moved by the power of Love. In most cases, in our opinion, upon your planet at this time entities perceive only portions of Love, those portions which are more to their own desires and definitions, those aspects of Love which are more likely to feed their self-identified needs, and, therefore, the experience of Love is only partial. If one wishes to truly be of service to another by loving another one must determine what service is desired by the one loved.

No matter how worn and shabby your ideals, your actions, or your concepts have become, there always remains the eternally pristine side where Love flourishes in its original form. It is a great trick of mental discipline to reverse your understanding of Love so that the clean, new side shines forth through your actions and words but it is infinitely possible at any time for you to do so. We are aware of the moving picture which you saw this evening, and although we are aware of the many yawns and giggles which were the reaction of each of you due to the aesthetically inadequate presentation of these ideas, yet, we wish to share with you the basic truth of, as you would call it, life beyond physical death.

We are aware, my friends, that death is a transformation which seems most final and frightening. And it is because of this very nature of death that your peoples avoid contemplation of their lives in the perspective of their eventual demise. Yet, what we urge you to do—namely, to meditate, to learn, to grow, to love, and to remember the Creator—would be quite senseless were it not for a continued existence in which you would be able to reap the benefit of your growing and learning. For, indeed, my friends, we are aware that there are times when, in order to grow, to learn and to give, you must make decisions which are not as much, shall we say, fun as decisions which have little obvious spiritual advantage.

Then Q’uo said no matter how worn our ideals, actions, or concepts have become there always remains the eternally pristine side where Love flourishes in its original form, so it is a great trick of mental discipline to reverse our understanding of Love so that the clean side shines forth through our actions and words, but it is possible at any time for us to do so, for they are aware of the moving picture which we saw this evening, and although they are aware of the yawns and giggles which were the reaction of each of us due to the aesthetically inadequate presentation of these ideas, yet they wish to share with us the basic truth of life beyond physical death. Then Hatonn said they are aware that death is a transformation which seems frightening, and it is because of this nature of death that our people avoid contemplation of their lives in the perspective of their eventual demise, yet what they urge us to do—to meditate, to grow, to love, and to remember the Creator—would be senseless were it not for a continued existence in which we would be able to reap the benefit of our growing and learning, for they are aware that there are times when, in order to grow, to learn and to give, we must make decisions which are not as much fun as decisions which have little spiritual advantage. On November 7, 1982, Latwii spoke of the nature of death as we perceive it in various ways:

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.

Therefore, we take this opportunity to affirm to you that you, my friends, live. Indeed “live,” is not a meaningful word, for we all are. To live suggests that one dies, and this is not the case. We all are. It is our understanding, my friends—in our limited understanding, we wish to stress—that we all are, regardless of time, or space, or dimension, or mortality. All of these things are illusions and there are many, many illusions in the Creator’s creation; many ways of experiencing consciousness. You, my friends, experience it only one way of many. You have experienced much, each of you, and slowly, slowly, you add to the store of experience. And slowly, slowly, that experience adds to your store of personal wisdom. And slowly, my friends, your wisdom draws you closer to the Love of the Creator. It is as though you were the moth going about the flame or the planet going about the sun. The orbits seem perpetual and yet, in the fullness of time, the moth is attracted to the flame, the sun explodes and becomes one with the planets and the universe; unity is achieved.

My friends, I will pause at this time and condition each of you. Laitos is with me. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. I am conditioning this instrument. At this time, I would open the meeting to questions. Does anyone have a question?

[Pause]

I am giving the instrument an image. It is that of a sea anemone waving beneath the waters of the ocean. It moves ceaselessly with the tides and the currents, never still, always giving beauty, always responsive to its environment. You, my friends, are rooted in Love. The waters move about you as it is proper for them to do, bringing you joy and sorrow. The good clean waters of experience move about you one way and then another. Rooted in Love, my friends, you may bloom at full tide and empty. Rooted in love, my friends, you may always be graceful, always full of joy. The concept of beauty is very dull upon your planet for beauty, my friends, is everywhere. Rooted in love you may see that beauty and feel that joy and those about you may, through you, feel and see that which is true and that which is real. My friends, we are among you as those who drop seeds. As it is said in your holy works, the seeds are dropped—from whatever source, my friends. As the seeds drop into your life, my friends, see that you welcome them and cultivate them and as you go about, if there is someone asking for a seed, a thought, a boost from you, be aware, my friends, for you are creators too.

Now Hatonn spoke of the nature of our being by saying they take this opportunity to affirm that we are alive, for “live” is not a meaningful word, for we all are alive, and to live suggests that one dies, and this is not the case, for we all are alive, and it is their understanding that we all are alive regardless of time, or space, or dimension because all of these things are illusions, and there are many illusions in the Creator’s creation and many ways of experiencing consciousness, for we experience it only one way, so we have experienced much, and slowly we add to the store of experience, and slowly that experience adds to our store of personal wisdom, and slowly our wisdom draws us closer to the Love of the Creator, so it is as though we were the moth going about the flame or the planet going about the sun, and the orbits seem perpetual and yet, in the fullness of time, the sun explodes and becomes one with the planets and the universe, and unity is achieved. Hatonn continued by saying they are giving Carla an image, and it is that of a sea anemone waving beneath the waters of the ocean which moves ceaselessly with the tides and the currents, never still, always giving beauty, always responsive to its environment, so we are rooted in Love, and the waters move about us as it is proper for them to do, bringing us joy and sorrow, so the clean waters of experience move about us one way and another, and rooted in Love we may bloom at full tide and empty, always being graceful, always full of joy, for the concept of beauty is dull upon our planet, and beauty is everywhere, for rooted in Love we may see that beauty and feel that joy, and those about us may–through us–feel and see that which is true, and they are among us as those who drop seeds because it is said in our holy works, the seeds are dropped from whatever source, for as the seeds drop into our life we can see that we welcome them and cultivate them, and as we move about, if there is someone asking for a seed, or a thought from us be aware, for we are Creators too. On April 21, 2002, Q’uo said that we all are Creators:

Certainly, it is to be hoped that more and more of your experience within the illusion is able to take on that centered feeling which graces and blesses all environments with a beauty that comes from within. But the concept of remaining centered at all times sets up for entities such as this instrument the incorrect idea of coming up to a standard or being considered inadequate, and we would not suggest in any way by what we are saying that any state of mind is inadequate or wrong. Precisely what you feel is that which is right for you, yet you are Creators. You are those who have all of the infinite resources of that spiritual part of self that has nothing to do with the illusion. You are people of magic and power, and you can, as this instrument was saying earlier, dream a new present for yourself and envision a new future. You can use techniques that allow you to release old pain and embrace the present and the future with confidence.

I leave you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am known to you as Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I noticed that the height of the fountain in the fishpond was only an inch or two, and the water level had dropped four inches, with no sign of the water ever having been outside of the fishpond, so I pulled the netting back and took to top off of the schemer. After taking the screen off of the motor I didn’t see any break in the tube that connects the pump to the fountain, as I was expecting to see. So, I filled the pond up with water until it barely covered the tube for the fountain, and then I plugged in the pump. Much to my surprise, the fountain was working perfectly. So, I threw in some Aquasafe to neutralize the chlorine in the water, and, with a sigh of relief and an unsolved puzzle as to how this all came about, I thanked my lucky stars that the fountain is working again.

This afternoon I went upstairs and used the carpet sweeper to clean the carpet in the hall. Then I used a wet mop to clean the hall and all three rooms in Benny’s apartment. Then I went down into the basement and ironed the pillowcases and flat sheet for the double bed in the bedroom directly under my bedroom. Then I put the flat sheet, blanket, and bed spread back on the bed. Then I put the two pillows and two pillows with shams back on the bed.

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

August 17

Come, Holy Spirit

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

Your generation shall pass away, just as this morning shall pass away into evening and all the works of your hands and the thoughts of your minds shall seem as shadows.

Gazing at one’s day and one’s life in terms of the losses involved is a logical and understandable method of dealing with the accidents of experience. Yet in each cell of your body lies a consciousness of Love, joy and peace, a consciousness which can speak only mutely and only when asked for.

It is the consciousness of the Holy Spirit, as you would call us, for we are closer to you than you can imagine and instantaneously ready to flood the consciousness with comfort and healing. You have but to ask, truly wishing to release the sense of loss that experience sometimes brings; truly being willing to yield your sorrows, let go of bitterness, and forgive iniquity.

This instrument’s favorite musician, Johann Sebastian Bach, has expressed the musical thought, “Komm Heilige Geist.” This simple prayer, “Come, Holy Spirit,” is that which opens the door to that peace in which we leave you now and ever; the perfect peace that lies forever beyond the understanding but is more real than any loss. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from July 3, 1978:

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: I greet you in the love and the light of the One Who is All. I am Hatonn of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. I hover 7.3 miles above your dwelling place. Aboard our ship, as you would call it, are more than 4,000 of our brothers and sisters who bear one name, my friends, the name of our home, as you would call it, our planet, the planet of Hatonn. We come from a planet, my friends, which has come through a great death and a great birth. The kind of birth into an age in which we no longer need the artificial creations of our kind. We have come into an age, my friends, where we can dwell in the creation of the Creator. Our planet is now a sentient being. All wildlife, as you call it, is conscious in a way that most of you [inaudible]. And we ourselves can speak without tongue and hear without ear, for we are in a vibration in which time and space are plastic, in which we can move from one level to another with conscious awareness and understanding. Our conscious awareness and understanding have led us to one awareness and one understanding. And it is for this reason that we have come among you and your people at this time.

We come bearing witness to the Creator, my friends. And yet the Creator is not as you have pictured Him. He is not a judge. He is not a man, nor, my friends, is He a woman. He is not a being. My friends, we bear witness to Love. We bear witness to all that there is which is Love. This is the understanding that we have come so far to share. And why, my friends, do we come among you at this time to speak of Love? You, my friends, approach a planetary death and a planetary birth. For as the cycles grow in your time and your space, in the locality of your present existence, the time and space have rolled around for a vibrational change. Not my friends, a vibrational change as you would understand it. We are not speaking of physical things but of the energy which creates physical things. It is difficult to explain to you of the vibrational change in which death and life are transformed while the physical body continues to die and live. And yet, this is what we bring to you. And we bring it to you because so many among your people, my friends, know that there is something beyond the physical body and the physical death. There is something that is more than the brief span of their lifetime and the brief span of experience in this lifetime.

Hatonn began by describing the nature of their purpose and the nature of the Creator. They said I hover 7.3 miles above your dwelling place, and aboard our ship are more than 4,000 of our brothers and sisters who bear the name of our planet of Hatonn, and we come from a planet which has come through a great death and a great birth, the kind of birth into an age in which we no longer need the artificial creations of our kind because we have come into an age where we can dwell in the creation of the Creator, for our planet is now a sentient being, so all wildlife is conscious in a way that most of you [inaudible] ,and we can speak without tongue and hear without ear, for we are in a vibration in which time and space are plastic, in which we can move from one level to another with conscious awareness and understanding, and our conscious awareness has led us to one awareness and one understanding, so it is for this reason that we have come among you at this time. Then Hatonn said we come bearing witness to the Creator, and yet the Creator is not as you have pictured Him; He is not a judge; He is not a man; nor is He a woman. He is not a being, for we bear witness to all that there is which is Love, so this is the understanding that we have come so far to share, and we come among you at this time to speak of Love because you approach a planetary death and a planetary birth, for as the cycles grow in your time and your space, the time and space have rolled around for a vibrational change, not as you understand it, but as the energy which creates physical things, so it is difficult to explain to you of the vibrational change in which death and life are transformed while the physical body continues to die and live, and yet this is what we bring to you because so many among your people know that there is something beyond the physical body and the physical death, so there is something that is more than the brief span of their lifetime and the brief span of experience in this lifetime. On December 11, 1996, Q’uo of the nature of one awareness for us:

For the one who is more aware of the internal workings of the mind, that one who is aware of the layers of meaning and of consciousness, the image of a subtle and complex network of mind works better. The mind has great depth, moving ultimately into that Self which is All. There is a kind of geometry to the mind. There are pathways within it. And there are entities within your culture, within each culture upon your planet, who have moved deeply into subtleties in discriminating between one level and another, between one tone poem of a mood and another, between one awareness and another.

Either of these kinds of path will work. It is simply that one must find the path or the combination of thoughts that will yield to the self that which is sought, which is an increased trust that all shall be made clear in good time.

The simple use of time is recommended to those who wish to work with the processes of perception. When an entity takes time with the self it is a great help to the inner workings of that self. Some find that the greatest gift that they can give to themselves is silence, and we do recommend, always, the daily silence, the listening within to that still, small voice that speaks in that silence with thoughts beyond words, with food that feeds the deeper person. Some find conversations with the Creator very helpful.

My friends, the answers to the questions you seek are all about you, written in the holy works in all of what you call your religions and philosophies. Many, many teachers walk the Earth at this time who speak the truth and yet, my friends, so disillusioned have your people become that your people no longer believe in their books, nor their leaders. They do not even believe, totally, in the inner voice that compels them towards the seeking for that which is beyond life and death. We come mostly, my friends, because your peoples can understand our presence with more ease than they can understand books and your orthodox teachings. We have come to add our voice of truth as we know it to the many voices of the same truth as it is known already. We come by the millions, my friends.

Far across the universe, across your galaxy, and across the reaches of other times and other space, there are many civilizations who have crossed into a vibration in which the truth of the Creator is obvious. Where this is so, my friends, beings have no choice except to turn to a life of service to others. With understanding of the Creator, my friends, comes the information that all your needs will be taken care of. Thus, we have no more needs. We have meat and drink, as it says in your holy works, that your people know not of, because our vibrational change made it possible for us to create that which was needed by thought. We no longer have need of government as you know it, for we can communicate our desires to a central computer which does the will of the people instantly. We are then free, my friends, to love. Love of others is much easier, my friends, when you can see the vibration of Love in each of your brothers and sisters. The selection of a mate, my friends, is much easier when you can see the connection going back many, many lifetimes with your appropriate partner.

Hatonn continued by saying the answers to the questions you seek are all about you, written in the holy works in all of your religions and philosophies, for many teachers walk the Earth at this time who speak the truth, and yet so disillusioned have your people become that they no longer believe in their books, nor their leaders, and they do not believe in the inner voice that compels them towards the seeking for that which is beyond life and death, so we come because your people can understand our presence with more ease than they can understand books and your orthodox teachings, and we have come to add our voice of truth to the many voices of the same truth as it is known already.

On January 2, 2000, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the vibration of Love:

Though the practice of revering the life of the one known as Jesus is usually short lived, we find that the focus, even for a brief time, upon this entity’s center or central message of Love is most helpful to the entire planet, for as Love becomes the focus for more and more of your people so does this vibration of Love move in an harmonic manner around and throughout the planet itself. Thus, we rejoice with you at the birth of this entity in each heart that makes room for Him, and we remind each that this pilgrimage to the heart is a journey that each can take at any moment. We thank each for making this journey. It is our privilege to walk with you upon it, for we also make the same journey.

One by one, my friends, those things which you call problems are solved by the application of divine Love shedding Light, shedding truth, shedding enablement on the so-called immobile lifespan. We are now free in spirit as a people. What we wish to do is our work of service. We have no need mentally or physically or emotionally; then our needs must become spiritual. And we find that we can only satisfy the spiritual desire for increased understanding by service to others. For this we must look outward, my friends, if you wish to use that expression. Outward across the voids between civilizations until we find one such as yours that is crying out at this time for the knowledge which we have to share. And so, we are here.

We are aware, my friends, that in your daily lives you cannot see clearly that Love is in everything. And without that truth the problem of finding [inaudible], of knowing friends in everyone, or finding enough supply of those things which are needed for physical existence, of finding mental stimulation which is satisfying, of finding that emotional stability which among your peoples is called happiness—all of these things, my friends, are anything but easy. But you see, my friends, you are not without a clear understanding of Love. It is as though you were in a deep, underground prison to which you have the key, my friends. Your body is the prison. It is a dense, chemical [inaudible] which carries your spirit about. It is extremely useful, for in it you experience emotions and situations which act as a catalyst in order that the understanding of your basic spiritual self may become tempered and toughened, thus producing at the end of an experience in the physical body an intense understanding of Love. It is as though, my friends, in our vibration we can never truly practice our understanding of Love for we see it clearly. Anyone can see in the daylight, but you my friends, are in darkness. To see the Light in the darkness is much, much more difficult.

Hatonn went on to say one by one those things which you call problems are solved by the application of divine Love shedding Light, shedding truth, shedding enablement on the lifespan, and we are now free in spirit as a people, and what we wish to do is our work of service, but we have no need mentally, physically, or emotionally so then our needs must become spiritual, and we find that we can satisfy the spiritual desire for increased understanding by service to others, thus we must look outward, so if you wish to use that expression outward across the voids between civilizations until we find one such as yours that is crying out at this time for the knowledge which we have to share, so we are here. Now Hatonn said we are aware that in your daily lives you cannot see clearly that Love is in everything, and without that truth the problem of finding friends in everyone, of finding mental stimulation which is satisfying, or finding emotional stability which among your peoples is called happiness—all of these things are anything but easy, but you are not without a clear understanding of Love, so it is as though you were in an underground prison to which you have the key, and your body is the prison, for it is a dense, chemical vehicle which carries your spirit about, so it is useful, for in it you experience emotions and situations which act as a catalyst in order that the understanding of your basic spiritual self may become tempered and toughened, thus producing at the end of an experience in the physical body an understanding of Love, and it is as though in our vibration we can never truly practice our understanding of Love, for we see it clearly, and anyone can see in the daylight, but you are in darkness, and to see the Light in the darkness is much more difficult. On June 17, 1982, Latwii spoke of how we may relate to the understanding of Love:

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

You, my friends, shall discover yourself in all these positions and many more, for you are the Creator, and all that is exists so that the Creator might know Itself. As your age ends there will be many events, many lives lived successfully, shall we say, so that the self is found, many deaths to be lamented in the respect that the self still remains hidden to the entity. All that shall occur will have but one purpose—that is, to aid in the revealing of the self to each entity who seeks the self.

What is the key that unlocks the prison? It is a simple key, my friends. It is the key of meditation, or as this instrument has described, the activity of inner listening. Life and Love do not come to you from us, from books, from on high. No, my friends, life and Love come to you from within. For within each of you is the spark of the Creator. It is a matter of becoming conscious or aware of that spark which is already there and then allowing that light within to shine through to the outside experience and thus illuminating it, thus granting supply where there was lack, healing where there was pain, friendship and harmony where there were enemies, disagreement, and disharmony. As you breathe in and as you breathe out, my friends, you use up this mortal life that you have taken on with courage and dedication at the outset to make use of as a time of learning and [inaudible] under adverse circumstances—under the circumstance of forgetting what you knew as a spirit. Try to remember, my friends, what you already know: that all are brothers and sisters, that love and consciousness dwell in everything, that all that is around you is alive and part of the creation which is Love.

We ask you, my friends, to have faith. Not in some dogmatic repetition, but in the basic concept that you are not here aimlessly but for a purpose. In meditation, my friends, ask that you may fulfill your purpose. You need not know to the last detail what that purpose is. You need only dedicate yourself to the intention and desire to fulfill your purpose. Spirits, my friends, have a purpose which is inevitable. And that is that they should love and share. The ideas among your people having to do with purpose are all accepted ambitions, and the ideas of greatness and dramatic accomplishment. But we say to you, my friends, that your purpose is to love and to share. The details matter not, but only the care and daily constancy of your willingness to manifest the Love of the Creator. In this, my friends, you will surely fail if you attempt to do it yourself. For we are all, when cut off from Love, unloving people, unloving beings, my friends, with very few resources. However, the Creator is an infinite and invisible flow of Love. In meditation and in conscious thought, call upon that infinite supply.

Hatonn said that the key that unlocks the prison is a simple key, and it is the key of meditation, or as Carla has described, the activity of inner listening because life and Love do not come to you from us, from books, from on high, but life and Love come to you from within, for within each of you is the spark of the Creator, and it is a matter of becoming conscious of that spark which is already there and then allowing that light within to shine through to the outside experience and illuminating it, granting supply where there was lack, healing where there was pain, friendship and harmony where there were enemies and disharmony, for as you breathe in and out you use up this mortal life that you have taken on with courage and dedication at the outset to make use of as a time of learning under adverse circumstances, under the circumstance of forgetting what you knew as a spirit, so try to remember what you already know: that we all are brothers and sisters, that Love and consciousness dwell in everything, that all that is around you is alive and part of the creation which is Love. Then Hatonn went on to say have faith, not in some dogmatic repetition, but in the basic concept that you are not here aimlessly but for a purpose, and in meditation ask that you may fulfill your purpose, and you need not know to the last detail what that purpose is, for you need only dedicate yourself to the intention and desire to fulfill your purpose because spirits have a purpose which is inevitable, and that is that they should love and share, so the ideas among your people having to do with purpose are all accepted ambitions of great accomplishment, but we say to you that your purpose is to love and to share, so the details matter not, but only the care and daily constancy of your willingness to manifest the Love of the Creator, and in this way you will fail if you attempt to do it yourself, for we are all, when cut off from Love, unloving beings, with very few resources, but the Creator is an infinite and invisible flow of Love, so in meditation and in conscious thought, call upon that infinite supply. On July 5, 1981, Hatonn said that the Love of the Creator is within us all:

My sister, we would answer you by saying that to seek the Love of the infinite Creator in each moment of your life is the greatest service and the greatest learning that can be accomplished upon your plane, for it is the lesson of this dimension to discover the Love of the Creator within all that is experienced within the self, within the life, within the family, within the community, within each activity, each experience and there is, shall we say, an infinite amount of time to discover this Love.

I will pause while Laitos speaks through one of the other instruments. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Laitos. Greetings, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. It is a pleasure to be with you, and I would touch with you but a short time. I am here for one purpose and that is to assist you in sensing our presence within this room. It has been a pleasure for a great period of time to be bestowed with the duties of shall we say, conditioning new instruments within this group and within other groups. And a portion of that duty is to share our Love and our energies with those who visit with us. We are among you now, and we ask that you relax. And if you can sense our presence, we ask that you please allow it to flow and do not become apprehensive. For we of the Confederation are here to love and serve people on planet Earth.

This is our sole purpose. We shall not instruct you how to live but we shall offer advice on how to build a better life during your short stay upon this planet. We of the Confederation are dedicated to our service for it sustains our being. We have found through our experience that to serve another is to indeed serve oneself. For it is spoken within your holy works, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” To give service in love to another is only to assure yourself that when you are in need it shall be given to you.

I am touching with you now and giving you my Love and the Love of all of those within the Confederation. It pleases us to see you. We ask only that you listen and take that which is of importance and use it forever, and that which you find somewhat disagreeable to your accepted train of thought we ask that you dispel that from your consciousness which you so desire. We claim not to know all that there is in the universe for, to the best of our knowledge, the universe is infinite and the experiences and the knowledge within must therefore be the same. However, we do claim to have progressed through very similar circumstances as what you experience now and offer what we feel to be the greatest degree of assistance that we can presently render to your people. We have spoken through many people upon your planet such as you are witnessing now. Many of your peoples have grown aware of us and it is pleasing to see that a few more have come to listen. And we humbly and gratefully respect your presence. It has been my pleasure to be with you. I shall now leave you. I leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am known to you as Laitos. Adonai.

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn, and again I greet you in love and in light. At this time, I would open the meeting to any questions that you may have of us, always keeping in mind that we are not infallible and only wish to share our thoughts with you in the simple way of brotherhood. If you have any questions, please speak forth at this time.

M: I have a question. Is the Confederation of brothers connected with a group that is based in Florida called the Mark-Age group? And if you are connected, what is the connection?

Hatonn: We are aware of the question. The light center which is in that portion of the creation on planet Earth that you call Florida is in contact with the Confederation. However, due to the individual differences which reside within that group there are other entities which are in contact with them also which are of your planet, and which have in the past given false information. This complicates the attempt of seekers such as yourself who wish to understand our message and seek understanding through this group. They offer much of our message, however, my friend, we do not give individual advice for that is an infringement on the free will of the individual.

We can only share our understanding of, as Laitos has spoken, how to live the better life, the life of Love, the life which is natural to you in a higher sense. This group has had its temptations with what some have called lower astrals in the past and has channeled false information about landing and other natural phenomena. However, it has managed to understand what was occurring and not try to justify its mistake. Due to this, this group manages to dispense, shall we say, a fair amount of our so-called cosmic sermonettes without too much distortion. What you must do in dealing with information such as Mark-Age Metacenter is learn to separate the wheat from the chaff, as this instrument would put it. See the truth in that which is given and with compassion allow the channel to make mistakes without you being emotionally disturbed by false information.

M’s question was: “I have a question. Is the Confederation of brothers connected with a group that is based in Florida called the Mark-Age group? And if you are connected, what is the connection?” Hatonn began by saying we are aware of the question, and the Light center which is in Florida is in contact with the Confederation, but due to the differences which reside within that group there are other entities which are in contact with them also which are of your planet, and which have in the past given false information, so this complicates the attempt of seekers such as yourself who wish to understand our message and seek understanding through this group, for they offer much of our message, but we do not give individual advice, for that is an infringement on the free will of the individual. Haton continued by saying we can only share our understanding of how to live a better life of Love, the life which is natural to you in a higher sense, for this group has had temptations with lower astrals in the past and has channeled false information about landing and other natural phenomena, but it has managed to understand what was occurring and not try to justify its mistake, and due to this, this group manages to dispense a fair amount of our so-called cosmic sermonettes without too much distortion, so what you must do in dealing with information such as the Mark-Age Metacenter is learn to separate the wheat from the chaff, as Carla would put it, and see the truth in that which is given, and with compassion allow the channel to make mistakes without you being emotionally disturbed by false information. On February 24, 1991, Q’uo spoke of the nature of false information from channels:

It is as a teacher, although one prone always to error, that we address the question of the importance to a channel of its knowledge of itself. Any person that experiences contact and channels it in an outward form that may be perused by others is responsible for the effect that information has upon those beings about it. Thusly, one who channels incomplete or outright false information does so in a situation that sets up for that entity an honor and responsibility to that body of teaching. Such an entity is responsible firstly for living the life promulgated by the information as being the most spiritually evolved. Further, if one is teaching, whether one can or cannot see that student which is also that colleague, one is still responsible for the results of the catalyst to others that has been offered.

Consequently, it is, while literally unnecessary, spiritually efficacious to have gained sufficient knowledge of the self to be able to be responsible stewards of the gift of channeling. It is sometimes felt, especially as many of your peoples are engaged in combat, that words, as this instrument’s old time rhyme says, “cannot hurt one,” whereas bullets and other destructive weapons can hurt one. This is indeed so. Within the relativistic illusion which you occupy, the round sphere upon which you live and abide seems to be one in which there are few true examples of the connective tissue between words and consequences. Certainly, words do not drill a hole in the body. However, metaphysically speaking, they do indeed carry a tremendous weight. Depending upon how listeners are able to have access to the information, whether a teacher is considered a spiritual teacher, an academic teacher or any other kind of teacher, the teacher’s awareness that it is expressing itself with authority may be understood. How, then, can one become responsible stewards of a gift, such as channeling?

As always, the answer lies within the self. Each of you, each of us, and indeed all of creation which is conscious of the self is imbued in a vast ocean of overlapping and various illusions, some of which are brighter than others. In order to be able to find words that are evocative of the truth, the channel is most well prepared who has deeply considered the nature of the self, for the depth of the channeling, in its most appropriate configuration, is equal to the depth of spiritual solidity within the channel.

In fact, my friends, this would apply to all of your established, so-called religions of your planet where the original manifestations of universal truth and love had become clouded by the distortions of men who with their intellect and with the help of lower inspirations have muddied the waters of the original truths. These truths are there and can be recognized. What you cannot use and do not need, discard. Do not become emotionally upset if others have an emotional need for what you consider distortion. Allow them their path to understanding while knowing that it is not your path to understanding. There are infinite numbers of beings, each with their own path, each with their own recognition of truth.

Then Hatonn said in fact this would apply to all of your religions of your planet where the original manifestations of universal truth and Love have become clouded by the distortions of people who with their intellect and with the help of lower inspirations have muddied the waters of the original truths, for these truths can be recognized, but what you cannot use discard, and do not become upset if others have an emotional need for what you consider distortion, but allow them their path to understanding while knowing that it is not your path to understanding because there are infinite numbers of beings, each with their own path, each with their own recognition of truth. On May 15, 1984, Hatonn spoke of the nature of understanding:

Let us examine this concept. Understanding, my friends, is simple. It is unitary. It is not logical. It is not intellectual. It is not necessary that you understand understanding. It is not necessary that anyone around you understand what you are understanding.

It is necessary only for you to seek the understanding of the true creation within, and this we will attempt to give you in a simple way. With the intellect and with words, my friends, we can only approximate understanding to you. And your attempts to examine it on an intellectual level can only be a type of subterfuge, camouflage, and misdirection. You must not depend upon the tools of the physical illusion in order to build for yourself your bridge to eternity, for that which is of the illusion will vanish and be no more before you are able to cross that bridge.

Let go of the preconceptions which are embedded deep in your intellectual mind. Allow yourself simply to seek, and then to have faith in the seeking. What you seek is simple. The creation is simple. There is only one understanding which we can offer you, my friends, and that is that the creation is one great Being. The creation is you; the creation is me; the creation is all that ever was and ever will be. The creation, my friends, is the Creator. As you look into the eyes of another upon your planet, you are looking at the Creator. As they look at you, my friends, they also are looking at the Creator.

Does this satisfactorily answer your question?

M: Yes, thank you.

Hatonn: Is there another question?

G: I have a question, a little along the same line. I am interested to know if there are any groups in western North Carolina who you are channeling through, and if so, would we be able to contact those groups if we moved there?

Hatonn: We are aware of your question. You must understand, my friend, that that which you need must come to you in a certain way. We cannot, shall we say, from on high, alter the course of your life, of your experience, or of your understanding. That which is needed will appear, and this is the rule of the Creation. We are aware that this is not a satisfactory answer, and we are sorry, but we cannot become temporal teachers, guiding you to our outposts of knowledge. If it is for you to continue in this phase of understanding, your group will appear. If your group does not appear in your new environment, consider, my sister, whether you are perhaps to begin such a group or whether you are to perhaps to find a totally new source of continued progress.

We declare at this time, as always, that these spoken messages are only the stimulants to begin and to continue in your own spiritual search. Do you understand my sister, why we cannot give the address and phone number of your contact?

G: Yes, I understand.

Hatonn: We are grateful for your understanding. Another question, my friends?

R: How does one recognize this group when it appears?

Hatonn: The thing which is right, feels right. This means that this individual must be in touch with his feelings and of course, as always, this goes back to a daily period, brief as it may be, of meditation. When the one known as G met with the entities who became the group which now sits in circle with us, they were strangers but there was a feeling of appropriateness, the feeling perhaps, shall we say, of rightness. And this feeling was shared by all those who were long intended to work together in this group. It was a natural and spontaneous feeling from within, as all spiritual stages occur. All the one known as G did was to act on her feelings.

First by going to a class and then by attending a meeting that she had heard about, and then attempting in sincerity and some humility to follow what was to her and still is to her a sometimes strange discipline. This takes being in touch with what feels like the right thing to do. It is a subtle feeling, that of rightness. And we can only suggest that each of you meditate and allow harmony to reign within yourself so that you may speak to yourself and know that feeling of what is right and what is appropriate. Does this answer your question, my brother?

R: [Inaudible]

Hatonn: We wish to encourage each of you for each of you has all the stimulus that you may need. As we have said before, your lifetimes are not unplanned. You may go down many, many paths, but each will be sufficient. You cannot make a totally wrong choice, for all choices are within the creation of love. But there is always an optimum choice, a choice which is really right for you, not for anyone else, my friends. From small things to large there is rightness. We ask you to meditate.

Is there another question?

[Pause]

If there are no more questions, my friends, we leave this channel although we do not leave. We are able to respond at any time you may need our presence as a comfort or as company as you go into meditation. For those of you who are not channels may find it impossible to detect our presence but if you mentally request our presence, we will be there, and you will eventually be able to feel our presence, perhaps as light or some physical sensation having to do with our joining of vibrations with yours.

We offer our presence, as we said, not to dictate but only to give the Love of all of us to you. We are not strangers, my friends, though we come from far. We are brothers and sisters no matter what star our home revolves around. There is no doubt in our hearts that we are all part of Love. It is with joy beyond telling that I leave you in that Love and that Light, my brothers and my sisters. I am called Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I set the sprinkler in two different locations around the fishpond for 45 minutes each time.

This afternoon I went outside and spent about an hour using my trimmer to wee in the area around the fishpond, the pet cemetery, and most of the back yard.

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

August 16

Those Born Of The Spirit

I am the spirit who comes with quiet feet, walking in perfect Love, sacrificing in perfect peace, showing perfect compassion. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

May the Love of Christ come upon you today as a sword and as a peace, excising from you that little self, opening the way for your true and whole creation. For those born of the Spirit, be they gathered together or scattered throughout your societies, may indeed renew the face of the Earth.

Let that consciousness be upon you that is Love, rejoicing in pain and giving up those things which the Spirit within you tells you that you no longer need.

May you lose your guilt and anger and be lit by the fire and the truth of Love and compassion, that you may go forth in activity and yet with a heart full of peace to do the work of Jesus Christ in the world today.

We leave you, encouraging you, as always, in the perfect 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 quote comes from June 26, 1978:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. It is, as always, a pleasure to be with you. We wish it to be known that we will be among you this evening, and that we will touch with you and speak with you as it has been requested. Those within this group and those not in attendance associated with this group are all very special to us. Many of you have known of us and have sat with us a great number of times over spans which you call years. In this time, we have watched over your patterns of life. We have witnessed the ebbs and tides as your life flows in the stream of consciousness, and Love, and of the universe.

People on planet Earth do not understand in totality the creation in which they live. And it has often been the quest of many of the great minds upon your planet to seek out truths which would unlock doors to people upon planet Earth and assist them to understand the universe. These great minds have been inspirations to many of your people. Yet, they have only touched upon the brink of knowledge and of awareness. We, in our own right, have also only begun to touch upon that brink, for understanding this entire universe is not within our grasp at the present time. We have learned to understand many of things which still puzzle many of your people. Yet, there are those things which we have not yet understood that occur around each of us.

We of the Confederation have sought through our meditation, through our service to mankind, to fulfill a long goal which we had set for ourselves eons of time ago: that is to know and understand the Creator and the universe. It seems but yesterday that we began, and it seems that we will never end in our quest for this knowledge. Yet each step of the way we find relief, we find happiness in knowing that our understanding has grown and knowing that our Love has been multiplied. We of the Confederation share with you, above all things, our Love. But there are those among your planet who will not accept our words of intellectual understanding. Yet, we are free to send them our Love and our assistance, for as they would call upon their Creator, whatever that belief may be, they call upon us. For we have realized that we are also a portion not only of the creation but of the Creator.

When one calls, whomsoever may hear that call should serve the one in need to the best of their ability using the best of their discretion. We of the Confederation admire this group, for though you have seen your difficulties in your personal lives and within the life of the organization called Eftspan, you have grown, and we have grown by watching you, and being with you, and serving you. We wish you to understand that the day will come when you must be willing to freely offer your assistance in a much more demanding way than you do now. And in order to do this properly you must prepare yourselves by becoming the being that you desire to be: one of knowledge and wisdom, love and understanding, one of strength and integrity. All of you have desired this, and in some ways you have gained portions of your goal.

Yet, we and all of you must understand that there is never time, as you would call it, for you to neglect the attainment of goals you have set for yourself. For people upon Earth live within an atmosphere or an environment which is attuned to the premise of time. Your physical bodies are sustained for only a short period, therefore, when you neglect the seeking and the fulfillment of your chosen mission and goal, you neglect the entire essence of this short span you live upon planet Earth. You live not for frivolity or enjoyment. You live for Love and enlightenment, for the fulfillment of your role in the creation of a perfect universe. If your actions are attuned to the consciousness of the Creator, your life shall experience no difficulty, not in essence. It may appear that you do indeed have difficulties, but they are lessons. Some are difficult, others are not. Be not discouraged by your own lack of disciplines. Be not haughty about your achievements. For you are as others, all others within this universe. You are a Creator; you are a part and particle of an undividable growing and consciousness universe.

We of the Confederation share these thoughts with you and commend you for what you have achieved. We also wish to somewhat warn you that you must realize that your journey has only begun. Be more determined, allow yourself not to falter. Be not discouraged with yourself when you do.

I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn. At this time, my friends, I will open the meeting to questions. Please feel free to ask any question, for it is our great privilege to share our thoughts with you.

[Pause]

I am again with this instrument. We would then leave this instrument and allow an entity who has not previously spoken to this group to speak through this instrument. Therefore, with our hearts attuned with you and all our Love with you, we leave you in the Love that is only that of the Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Carla channeling)

I am Orkan. And I speak to you this evening for the first time. It is an infinite pleasure to me, and I greet you in the love and the light of the One Who is the Creator of us all.

I am a flame. I am a flame that flickers, my friends, that glows, that grows, that is eternal. I am the flame of creation; the flame of your physical sun that warms your planet and allows your food to grow on your fertile land. I am the flame of destruction that transmutes all that there is. Yes, my friends, I am a flame. I appear as the Love in the heart of those who give. I appear, my friends, as the intelligence of those who think. I am the flame that creates beauty, whether it is the beauty of the Creator or the beauty of humankind; the beauty of your art or your music; the beauty of your architecture, of your statues, of your philosophy. I am a flame that may but flicker in the darkest of times, my friends. I am to be found by those who can recognize Love.

I am, and you are the flame, my friends, the flame of Love that burns and consumes. It is not something that you reach out to find. The total freedom, the total annihilation of fire is not something that you may use, my friends. Love can only use you. It is not a tool, my friends. You are the tool for Love. You have not chosen a gentle path. You have chosen the path that consumes those things about you which are not Love. The rate of that consumption is completely dependent upon you. When do you wish to become the flame of Love, of joy, of Light, of laughter, of freedom? It is up to you, my friends, for the flame is always there inside you, inside me.

My friends, the flame is not an answer. For as far as we know, we have no answers. We have only the process of Love. We have only the knowledge that the flame, that the Love is grace, is easiness, is strength. If you have the discipline to seek the flame in a moment, whether it be in the day or the night, in joy or sorrow, in something great or in something very small, if you have the discipline to seek it, then you become the flame. And when you have achieved this identity, this manifestation, it is not, my friends, that you become a teacher, it is only, my friends, that you become a window through which the flame can be seen.

This is the first time that Orkan has spoken to this group, and they began by identifying themselves by saying: I am a flame that glows, that grows, and that is eternal, and I am the flame of creation, the flame of your sun that warms your planet and allows your food to grow on your fertile land, and I am the flame of destruction that transmutes all that there is, so yes, I am a flame that appears as the Love in the heart of those who give, and I appear as the intelligence of those who think, for I am the flame that creates beauty, whether it is the beauty of the Creator or the beauty of humankind, the beauty of your art or your music, the beauty of your architecture, of your philosophy, and I am a flame that may but flicker in the darkest of times, but I am to be found by those who can recognize Love. Then Orkan said I am, and you are, the flame of Love that burns and consumes, but it is not something that you reach out to find, so the total freedom, the total annihilation of fire is not something that you may use because Love can only use you, but it is not a tool, for you are the tool for Love, and you have not chosen a gentle path, for you have chosen the path that consumes those things about you which are not Love, and the rate of that consumption is dependent upon you, and it is up to you as to when you wish to become the flame of Love, of joy, of Light, of laughter, of freedom, for the flame is always there inside you, inside me. Then Orkan said the flame is not an answer, for as far as we know, we have no answers, and we have only the process of Love and the knowledge that the flame of Love is grace and strength, so if you have the discipline to seek the flame in a moment, whether it be in the day or the night, in joy or sorrow, in something great or in something small, then you become the flame, and when you have achieved this identity, it is not that you become a teacher, but it is only that you become a window through which the flame can be seen. On January 30, 2010, Q’uo described the flame of Love:

In this allowing of the self to be nothing and to float as the candle flame floats above the candle, self is revealed just as the candle reveals itself in the flame. It is an indigo-ray use of the gateway of intelligent infinity to ask for the self to be revealed to the self, for the self to feel its own radiance. And that flame comes down into the passive tallow of self and kindles the flame of truth so that the self becomes a chalice, holding the flame of Love. And gently, sweetly, that flame melts away the suffering and the difficulty and frees the caught soul that it may fly free into the Love of the open heart, into the Love of the Logos.

I am Orkan. It is a great privilege to meet each of you, and I an with you. Adonai vasu. Adonai.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet you each in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I will not speak to you long, my friends, but I wish to work with each of you. If you would open yourselves to our influence, I wish to, at this time, to come into the room and work with each of you personally. If you will be patient and mentally request our presence, we will attempt to strengthen your own natural meditation. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

I am again with this instrument. It is a great privilege to use this instrument, for we have not been able to use her for some weeks. And we are very grateful for the chance to work with each of our instruments.

My friends, we ask only that you meditate; five minutes, ten minutes, however long you may. Daily meditation, my friends, it is an old story, but it does not lose its importance. Life as it is known by your people seems very normal. But we say to you, my friends, that the universe is very, very unusual. There are many, many strange things all around you. Many informative, unusual occurrences. To pick up, to understand those things that are missed by so many, it is necessary to tune the mind by meditation.

I would like to close through another channel. I am Laitos.

(H channeling)

I am Laitos. I am now with this instrument. It has also been a long time since we have spoken through this instrument. For the benefit of those who are somewhat new to the actual training of an instrument, we are utilizing a great degree of conditioning with this instrument. We are showing those interested the technique which is the least desirable. The communications which we offer which you may witness now are much more easily transmitted when the instrument allows the energy to flow, allows himself to speak the words without thought, and accepts the communication with faith.

We of the Confederation speak with your people, and we need many instruments for, what you would term, the future. We desire the development of channels to be accepted by the instruments at their own choosing. And we have chosen the previously witnessed form of conditioning because we have found it necessary for most to have this experience in order that they may be, shall we say, thoroughly convinced of the validity of the communication, for you may witness and believe in it but then attempt to doubt it either in its validity or your own. We say to you that the source of the message is, shall we say, irrelevant. We shall not ask or judge where goodness has come from. We should only accept it and use what is beneficial to you and pass the rest on into others without concern. We press nothing upon you; we bless you for your acceptance. We leave you in the love and in the light of the infinite Creator. I am Laitos. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I began to water the flower gardens in the back yard by setting the sprinkler in four flower gardens. Then I used the vacuum cleaner to vacuum the first floor of my home.

This afternoon a good friend of mine took me to Bachman Subaru to pick up Stanley as they found five or six problems that caused Stanley not to start last Monday when I got back from Ogallala, Nebraska. Then I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Markt to buy more flowers and some food for myself. Then I stopped by Walgreen’s Drug store to pick up a couple of prescriptions, some Pepsi-Zero, and some napkins. When I got home, I completed the transplanting of the portion of the Wuthering Heights Mound, that the deer had eaten, with the flowers from Paul’s Fruit Market. Then I covered the new transplants with netting and then set the water sprinkler to water the entire mound.

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

A Turn Of The Eye

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

This instrument does not believe that we have anything new to say, for its mind has been over-busy with many things, and meditation has been interrupted by the thoughts of the day which come in this instrument’s mind.

And yet we say that to every mind, however caught up in the affairs of the day, the Holy Spirit of Jesus the Christ speaks. It is as though a simple angle of the ear, a simple turn of the eye, the seeing about a corner is all that is needed. A quiet turning inside; a small repositioning of the mind and the voice of Spirit sings once again.

For each day and for each person, in any move, in any degree of attention to the Spirit whatsoever, that great principle of Love, which is who we are in manifestation, in communication, may speak forth. That quiet voice, just out of reach, by a simple turn of mind comes into earshot and heart-shot.

May your days be merry! May they be full of busy things. We do not ask concentration upon holy things. We ask that in doing precisely what each soul wishes to do it may also wish to turn and listen to the voice of the Holy One.

We are with you in peace wherever you may go, whatever you may do, 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. The Hatonn channeling for today comes from March 27, 1978:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I speak to you as a representative of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. I also speak to you as a voice from within yourself that beckons you inward; not outward, my friends, but inward. We hover high above your planet, offering what seems to be telepathic instruction from one being to others. But in effect, my friends, that is not true. We are one being—you and I and all that dwells in consciousness—and we speak to each other as an arm speaks to a leg, or as two brain cells communicate in the same entity. Those who are upon your planet speak to each other in such a way that, if you understood that you are one body of consciousness, you would understand that you are like a cancer or a disease to yourself: the entity attacking itself, the entity fearing itself, the entity destroying itself.

In your so-called orthodox medicine, it is understood that when a cancer attacks your physical vehicle, your attempt is to remove it, cut it out, and dispose of it. But, my friends, if your doctors could understand the true meaning of cancer, they would not cut it out but would, instead, reinstruct it so that it would become benign and proper. And this is what we are attempting to do to you. For you are conscious, and all of those on your planet are conscious and what you continue in hostility and fear—one to another, person to person, nation to nation—the answer, my friends, is not further violence to cut out those who are wrong. The answer, as always, is Love. Love is an atmosphere in which consciousness can be reinstructed in the original Thought.

Hatonn began by saying I speak to you as a representative of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator, and I also speak to you as a voice from within yourself that beckons you inward, and we hover high above your planet, offering what seems to be telepathic instruction from one being to others, but that is not true, for we are one being—you and I and all that dwells in consciousness—and we speak to each other as two brain cells communicate in the same entity, so that those who are upon your planet speak to each other in such a way that, if you understood that you are one body of consciousness, you would understand that you are like a disease to yourself: the entity attacking itself and destroying itself. Hatonn went on to say that in your orthodox medicine, it is understood that when a cancer attacks your physical vehicle, your attempt is to remove it, but if your doctors could understand the true meaning of cancer they would not cut it out but would, instead, reinstruct it so that it would become benign, and this is what we are attempting to do to you, for you and all of those on your planet are conscious, and when you continue in hostility and fear—one to another, person to person, nation to nation—the answer, is not further violence to cut out those who are wrong, but the answer is Love, for Love is an atmosphere in which consciousness can be reinstructed in the original Thought. On August 25, 1996, Q’uo said that the answer to all of our problems is Love:

Let us call upon the deeper reality, that structure within the self that is infinite and eternal. It is this consciousness that is not a part of space and time that chose to move into just this perverse environment, just this materialistic society, just exactly this one and no other. Why? Why feel that it is a prize to achieve an incarnation of such suffering, such distraction and confusion? Sit with this “why” and know that only one answer will suffice, and that answer is Love, for Love is the beginning and the end and all things in between. Love it was, that one great original Thought of Love, infinite Love, creative, powerful Love that bore Light. Each photon, each particle, if you will, of Light is a pure manifestation of Love and of this Light are builded all the vibrations and nexuses of energy that form the universe and all that is within it.

And into this infinitude of worlds beings of Light come, sparks of the heart of the infinite Creator—you and all of the family of humankind. Each of you unique as a snowflake. Each of you infinitely beautiful and valuable. Each of you powerful and able to serve, for you are Love. Yes, within this veil of flesh each has distorted these structures and ideas and thoughts of Love so that they do not shine like the diamond but are rough. And so, within the flesh each feels the frustration of knowing her own imperfection. And this is a treasure, this awareness of the self in its illusory form as imperfect. This treasure is so precious because within this illusion, this seeming imperfection, entities have the greatest chance of choosing to live in Love by faith alone, for there will never be any proof that there is a spiritual reality beyond that which can be seen, felt, heard, and tasted.

Within you, my friends, is the wisdom that is totally and completely aware that you are part of a being called the universe. As you look out into what you call outer space, know that within you is the true reality of which outer space is only a picture. Your consciousness, my friends, is an incredible and infinite geography, peopled with an infinity of creatures equipped with the collective wisdom of eons of experience, for, my friends, within some part of your being, some deep and, for the most part, hidden part of your being you have all knowledge, all power, all compassion. It is as they were in files in a room to which you have lost the key. Do you wish, then, to explore outer space to repair the great damage of your society, or do you indeed think of it as hopeless? Take these attitudes away from the world, my friends, and turn them in to yourself, for you yourself are the great object on which to practice your own wisdom, on which to develop your own understanding. If you can solve those slums which exist within the topography of your consciousness, the slums in your cities will begin to take care of themselves.

You say, “What can one person do?” We say to you: one person can work on one person, but that one person, my friends, is a hologram of all that there is. Your consciousness is all consciousness. Work on it, and you work on your race, your planet, the vibration that speaks for Earth. We offer you our Love and our serenity and encourage you to seek those qualities in meditation. When you are upset, do not blame it upon little things which have occurred in the outer world: blame it on the lack of meditation. When you see your people in a hostile manner, don’t blame it on their actions but on a lack of meditation. Your environment does not have to have any power over you, for all that there is is within you. The environment is only a shadow compared to the power of Love within yourself. Meditation can unlock that power.

Now Hatonn said within you is the wisdom that is totally aware that you are part of a being called the universe, and as you look out into outer space, know that within you is the true reality of which outer space is only a picture, and your consciousness is an infinite geography, peopled with an infinity of creatures equipped with the collective wisdom of eons of experience, for within some deep and hidden part of your being you have all knowledge, power, and compassion, so it is as they were in files in a room to which you have lost the key, and: “Do you wish to explore outer space to repair the damage of your society, or do you think of it as hopeless?” So Hatonn said to take these attitudes away from the world, and turn them in to yourself, for you are the great object on which to practice your wisdom, on which to develop your understanding, for if you can solve those slums which exist within the topography of your consciousness, the slums in your cities will begin to take care of themselves. Then Hatonn said one person can work on one person, but that one person is a hologram of all that there is since your consciousness is all consciousness, so work on it, and you work on your race, your planet, the vibration that speaks for Earth, and we offer you our Love and our serenity and encourage you to seek those qualities in meditation, but when you are upset, do not blame it upon things which have occurred in the outer world, but blame it on the lack of meditation, and when you see your people in a hostile manner, don’t blame it on their actions but on a lack of meditation, for your environment does not have to have any power over you, for all that there is is within you, so the environment is only a shadow compared to the power of Love within you, and meditation can unlock that power. On June 3, 1984, Laitos said that our consciousness is the One Creator:

We join you in the praise and in the thanksgiving which we find in each heart even through the difficulties which face many. Seek that Love and Light always, my friends, for it is the heart of your being and the heart of each moment through which you pass, and if you can but keep a glimmer within your consciousness, you will have a guidepost which shall not fail you, even though the world about you may seem to crumble into tears, into dust, and into confusion. All that shall pass away for it is but illusion, yet the Love and Light of the one Creator shall never leave you, for you are It.

I would like to transfer at this time to the one known as B. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. My friends, we speak to you of, shall we say, improving your inner being. For, my friends, we realize that it is much easier spoken than done. So, we offer you, my friends, very few suggestions. My friends, it is very important that you realize and understand the energy which surrounds you all. Now, my friends, you gain, shall we say, a positive energy. You are, shall we say, engulfed in a great field of energy. My friends, this field may be increased through much practice. That is to say, my friends, that the harder you try, the wider your skills will become.

Now, my friends, think good of all. It is very easy to assume an opinion of another being. My friends, you are not truly aware of the ordeals of growth which are being experienced. My friends, through the help of others you are, indeed, helping yourself. And, my friends, we find it easy to… a growth that may take to [inaudible] a greater portion of the day. But, my friends, it is important that we experience this energy in all that we say and do, without even thinking. My friends, as you well know, we are always available for, shall we say, support. Feel free to call upon our energy at any time; for, my friends, we truly are one.

I will leave you now. And, my friends, as we said, for as long as you try in meditation you will feel this energy [inaudible], for, my friends, it is our gift to you. We wish only to share with you. And, my friends, we wish this experience to be that of yours.

I leave you now. I leave you in the love and light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am very grateful and privileged to speak with you. I wish only to say that we of Oxal take a continuing interest in your group and send you our Light at all times. Remember, my friends, you are the Light of the world, as are all those who have consciousness of what you would call Christ, or Creator, or Love. Call it what you will; there is no difference. It is a feeling we are a magnetism of Love that permeates those who seek it. Take confidence, and forgive all those mistakes you may make. Each day try again, and each day you will gain. Each day is a fork in the road. Keep your eyes open, my friends. One road is lighter than the rest. Yet, whatever road you are on, you are the Light.

I leave you in that love and that light. Adonai vasu borragus. I am Oxal.

This morning, I went outside and began draining the fishpond, and while it was drainin,g I cleaned the filters. Then I began fertilizing the water lilies, and when I was half done, I looked down into the pond and saw two tiny fish about an inch long which I have not seen for at least ten years. It is so good to know that the fish are reproducing because it means that they are all healthy. After the pond was full of water, I threw some Aquasafe into the water to neutralize the chlorine. Then I put the netting, extension cords, and stones that hold the netting back in place.

This afternoon a good friend took me on an errand run, and the first stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed and some fish food. Our second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some Portulaca and Vinca plus some food for myself. The third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off two prescriptions to be refilled and bought some Pepsi-Zero and some zip lock bags. When I got home, I transplanted the flowers on the left half of the top of the Ruins Mound where the deer had eaten the Zinnias and Begonias.

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

August 14

The Generous Giver

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

The Spirit is a Spirit of hospitality. To each soul is given the personality, the character, the good points and the bad. And within each soul the Spirit exhorts and encourages the free and joyful sharing of the personality.

For it is not in the saving and fastidious choosing of those to whom to reflect the Spirit that the Spirit’s fruits are multiplied but, rather, it is to the generous giver that more and more supply of those things of which the personality is steward may be given.

Fear not the opening of the self to others this day, the sharing of laughter and conversation, but pour out generously the Love that is within you and you shall find that the Spirit has replenished that supply manyfold.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from March 13, 1978:

(B channeling)

Hatonn: I am the one known to you as Hatonn. As always, I greet you in the love and light of our infinite Creator. My friends, I will speak to you this evening of what is known to you as understanding. For, my friends, this is indeed a very… I will continue. This is indeed a very important… This is very important in your spiritual growth, for, my friends, you must accept people for what they truly are. For, my friends… I am experiencing much difficulty with this instrument. I will transfer this contact and may return at a later time. I am Hatonn.

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. We of the Confederation are speaking to you this evening of understanding. We feel that it is important that people upon planet Earth learn to understand that which occurs around them and what occurs within them. For in understanding these things, people can gain a greater insight and then they can proceed forward with understanding. And with that understanding they may weigh the outcome of their actions and therefore determine the proper avenue of action to take. But understanding, my friends, those things that you need to understand is somewhat difficult for those on planet Earth.

Consider, if you will, when all of you attended your educational processes. In the subject that you call mathematics you are often given a problem. And for that problem you must arrive at an answer. Consider, if you will, to know the answer is only a portion of solving the problem. For you must understand the problem and the means by which to derive the answer. Therefore, in this situation, knowledge and understanding are two separate factors which commune together and assist you in solving the problem before you.

So it is that people proceed through life, knowing many times the outcome of actions, but not precisely understanding the intricate workings of their actions. With proper understanding, people upon planet Earth could become the god on planet Earth. For indeed the difference between people and gods is understanding. Knowledge you have. It has been a portion of you always. Wisdom is the proper application of that knowledge. But understanding, understanding, my friends, is the knowing when to apply that wisdom. Understanding is knowing how to arrive at the answer. Understanding is the most important ingredient in the overall spiritual growth of humankind. Indeed, you may arrive at certain conclusions and they may be beneficial for you, but the benefit in most circumstances is less to you unless you have understood the workings of these actions.

We of the Confederation have applied many of your years, more than you’ve ever imagined, to just gaining understanding of the universe and the way all things function within it. And we have yet to arrive at the point of total understanding. And we feel it to be true that we shall seek greater and greater levels of understanding for eons to come as we grow within this universe. But as we have progressed in our understanding, we have seen our growth come more rapidly. For, my friends, all life within this universe is very simple, like that which you call mathematics. For all thought produces an energy wave, and an energy wave produces a certain action and a reaction. Each is able to be calculated if you have gained the understanding to monitor, shall we say, these thoughts in a way that you are aware of their conclusion.

We of the Confederation know beforehand what our thoughts and actions will bring about. We understand these things to a great degree even though we have not perfected the application of the understanding that we have gained. It is as with all things, practice is needed. People upon planet Earth need to begin to practice. They need to begin to practice the monitoring of their thought-actions. They need to begin to practice in understanding knowledge and wisdom. All of these things are greatly enhanced through the process of meditation, which is perhaps the greatest thing that you may practice in your life experience.

But people upon planet Earth presently proceeds to think, shall we say, improperly, thus accumulating greater and greater degrees of misshapen conclusions to their thoughts and actions. And they continue to wonder why. But if people develop their understanding they would know why things are as they are. For they have created them and, being the creator of their experiences, should accept the responsibility for those creations and begin to apply understanding. For understanding, my friends, is not only recognizing the functions and mechanisms of your thoughts and actions. Understanding is applying love. For in understanding your actions, you may determine whether they shed love to your fellow beings, and if they do not, then we say that your actions are improper.

For whatever you do, my friends, it does indeed affect all of humanity. Whether you see that effect going any further than your own personal experience or not, you have placed an energy into your atmosphere. An energy that will never die. An energy that will pass among many people and affect in some small way their own being. So, whether your actions be self-centered or directed towards the peoples, you must care and love one another enough to gain the understanding so that you may create for yourself and with others the environment that people upon planet Earth desire.

We understand your difficulties within your society. We understand what may seem to be your lack of knowledge. And it is this understanding that has made us capable of reaching forth to you and sharing our knowledge and our love with you. For we would react much as people upon planet Earth if we did not understand your actions and your circumstances. For it is the nature of people throughout the universe to question and to even judge that which they do not understand. So, consider, if you will, the importance of understanding. Recognize the difference between it and knowledge and wisdom. Recognize the link between the three. And look at the actions and the thoughts within your life and attempt to understand them. Attempt to see their outcome, and by seeing this you may gain a greater degree of understanding than you have now.

We of the Confederation cannot do these things for any of you. We can only share with you our thoughts, hope that you accept them, and apply them and work with them. And if they prove to be of no value to you, we suggest that you refrain from using the knowledge that we give. But we of the Confederation have used our methods for a great length of your time, and we have found them to be beneficial to us, and we know that they shall bring the same benefit to you if you apply them in your life. We of the Confederation, indeed, are not a source of ultimate truth and shall never claim to be so. We are a source of limited truth and limited understanding, ever progressing, as are people upon planet Earth. We are only to some extent more fortunate than you, for we have progressed through your present experience and into ours. Indeed, upon your level of existence understanding is somewhat different than upon ours. And it is one of the greatest keys to reaching any upper level that you would desire.

We of the Confederation look upon you and even we wonder at times why you do not see the simplicity of your difficulties. And the answer is immediately within our consciousness, for we see that people’s understanding is far behind their knowledge. And only recently, unfortunately, people’s wisdom has begun to flourish. Work on these things and you shall notice a change within yourself. We of the Confederation are pleased to be with you, and we shall always be with you whether you are aware of us or not. We watch over you. And we love each and every one of your people for we understand their situations and love the divinity within each of them.

I shall transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Hatonn. I greet you again in love and light. Laitos is working with each of those who are in the meeting this evening. I would like to pause while this process goes on.

[Pause]

I would now like to attempt to say a few sentences through the one known as M. I am Hatonn.

(M channeling)

I am Hatonn. I would like to say…

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. I would like to thank the one known as M for picking up the ball so well. Each session gets a little easier, and we thank her for her service. We continue working with each of you, and we guarantee that it will get better as time goes on. I would like to speak a few words through the one known as G1, if she would relax.

(G1 channeling)

I am with this instrument. [Inaudible].

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am again with this instrument. I am pleased to say that Laitos has left his chair and is kicking up his heels. We are very pleased when we have good contacts. And to the one known as G1 we would express our feelings that seeking is always appreciated. We feel most grateful for her seeking of [inaudible].

We would like to work with the one known as G2. If she would relax and make herself available to our contact, we would speak a few words through her. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. It is truly a great privilege to work with each new instrument. As you begin it may seem to a new instrument that the contribution would be small, but we say to you that each accomplished instrument has gone through a prolonged period of being a new instrument, a developing instrument, an inadequate and doubting instrument. As you, as an individual, and as you all, as a group, continue, the transformations will continue, and the quality of the contact will continue to improve. It is your seeking as individuals and as a group that determines your experience. When as a race you were young and [inaudible], you understood with your physical bodies. The understanding of your heart beating, and your lungs breathing, and the stimuli to which your adrenal system reacted was your understanding. This was an unbalanced understanding.

As you climbed out of the darkness of the body, you as a race willfully entered the darkness of the mind. And now you wander as seemingly as very tiny ghosts inside a great [inaudible] computer, caught in endless tunings of switches. Understanding, my friends, is understanding of only one thing: the Love of the Creator/creation. If, as you see through the eyes of your physical bodies, you do not see the Creator, you have not yet acquired understanding. Seek it, therefore. To actively seek is to live. Those who do not seek are waiting. For what are they waiting, my friends? For the most part they are waiting for the physical death so that they may remember that they do not want to wait. You already know that you do not want to wait. You are eager for the adventure of understanding.

Hatonn had been working with new instruments and wanted to share information with them that would help them to become better instruments. They began by saying it is a privilege to work with each new instrument, and as you begin it may seem that as a new instrument that the contribution would be small, but we say to you that each accomplished instrument has gone through a prolonged period of being a new instrument, a developing instrument, an inadequate and doubting instrument, so as you continue the transformations will continue, and the quality of the contact will continue to improve because it is your seeking as individuals and as a group that determines your experience, for when as a race you were young and [inaudible], you understood with your physical bodies the beating of your heart, your lungs breathing, and the stimuli to which your adrenal system reacted was your understanding, but this was an unbalanced understanding. Hatonn went on to say that as you climbed out of the darkness of the body, you as a race entered the darkness of the mind, and now you wander as tiny ghosts inside a great [inaudible] computer, caught in endless tunings of switches, so understanding is understanding of only one thing: the Love of the Creator/creation, and if as you see through the eyes of your physical bodies, you do not see the Creator, you have not yet acquired understanding, so to actively seek is to live, and those who do not seek are waiting for the physical death so that they may remember that they do not want to wait, but you know that you do not want to wait, for you are eager for the adventure of understanding. On May 15, 1974, Hatonn described the nature of understanding:

Let us examine this concept. Understanding, my friends, is simple. It is unitary. It is not logical. It is not intellectual. It is not necessary that you understand understanding. It is not necessary that anyone around you understand what you are understanding.

It is necessary only for you to seek the understanding of the true creation within, and this we will attempt to give you in a simple way. With the intellect and with words, my friends, we can only approximate understanding to you. And your attempts to examine it on an intellectual level can only be a type of subterfuge, camouflage, and misdirection. You must not depend upon the tools of the physical illusion in order to build for yourself your bridge to eternity, for that which is of the illusion will vanish and be no more before you are able to cross that bridge.

Let go of the preconceptions which are embedded deep in your intellectual mind. Allow yourself simply to seek, and then to have faith in the seeking. What you seek is simple. The creation is simple. There is only one understanding which we can offer you, my friends, and that is that the creation is one great Being. The creation is you; the creation is me; the creation is all that ever was and ever will be. The creation, my friends, is the Creator. As you look into the eyes of another upon your planet, you are looking at the Creator. As It looks at you, my friends, It also is looking at the Creator.

If you may achieve this simple understanding, then and only then you may live in harmony with the understanding of the Creator, Who created each portion of the creation in order that it may be of service to every other portion of the creation.

At this time, I would open the meeting to questions.

G1 [Inaudible].

Hatonn: We are aware of the question. We will attempt to answer through this instrument. Your understanding, shall we say, is consciously of a physical nature. As you well know, in addition to the physical universe there dwell within your planetary spheres finer dimensions which possess their reality and are peopled with their own characters. In the dimension which is called by some of your peoples the lower astral planes, there dwell but these same people but are called thought forms. These thought forms are what you may call archetypes. They include your whole array of demons and monsters, if you will, your myths, your so-called Big Foot, and vampire, and werewolf and all the fantastic array of bestial characters having been created by the archetypical imaginations of your peoples dwell as thoughts forms and they come into your reality because of the excessive and pointed emotions. The place that such entities will appear is dependent on a seemingly random energy pattern and is, in effect, not random. To explain it to you would be far too complex for easy transmission. For the energies of the planet, the race, and what you call your nations and states and cities, your individuals, all must be taken into account.

Let us say that those sightings are terrestrial rather than unearthly in origin. The incident of which you speak, being a tragedy as it was, began to be known to the subconscious awareness of many people before it occurred, just as many people in many situations are aware of tragedies before they occur. Fear of such events actually hastens their eventuality, unless that fear is resolved in a positive way as [inaudible]. The more who were aware of the tragedy, the more certain it was to occur. This is due to the fact that events occur on the so-called inner planes at an advanced time/space nexus to their appearance on the denser physical plane.

G1’s question may be about the astral planes of our planet and the types of lifeforms that are found there. Hatonn began by saying your understanding is of a physical nature, and as you know, in addition to the physical universe there dwell within your planet finer dimensions which have their own reality and are peopled with their own characters, and in the lower astral planes there dwell thought forms or what you may call archetypes, and they include a whole array of demons and monsters, your myths, Big Foot, vampires, werewolves, and all the fantastic array of bestial characters, having been created by the archetypical imaginations of your people, who dwell as thought forms, and they come into your reality because of excessive emotions, and the place that such entities will appear is dependent on a seemingly random energy pattern which is not random, but to explain it to you would be too complex for easy transmission, for the energies of the planet, the race, and what you call nations, states, cities, and your individuals, all must be taken into account. Hatonn continued by saying those sightings are terrestrial rather than unearthly in origin, and the incident of which you speak, being a tragedy as it was, began to be known to the subconscious awareness of many people before it occurred, just as many people in many situations are aware of tragedies before they occur, so the fear of such events hastens their happening, unless that fear is resolved in a positive way as [inaudible], for the more who were aware of the tragedy, the more certain it was to occur, and this is due to the fact that events occur on the inner planes at an advanced time/space nexus to their appearance on the denser physical plane. On December 16, 1979, Hatonn spoke of the nature of the inner planes:

The inner plane theory of your people is very old. It is as old as the pyramid,s and it was a gift to your people by the Confederation from many, many thousands of years ago. The pyramids themselves were used in penetrating into the inner planes of existence. A very simple analogy which this instrument has frequently used is that of the television set. You have at this moment, within your domicile, a television set although it is potentially able to show you a world, it is not doing so now because it has not been activated. This instrument or anyone in the room might activate it, and they might choose a channel of existence of which they enjoy the view. They will see one world on one channel, another world on the next, and so on, each channel seemingly coming from the same television set, but each world becoming completely different and completely oblivious to all the other worlds.

So, it is with the inner planes. You and all of those things in your world are energy fields and you have energies and certain vibrations that belong to the third octave of existence. There are also other octaves of existence within your octave of existence. There are seven levels, and some of these levels are not visible, just as one channel would not be visible to another. The skill and art of penetrating into the inner planes is a hidden art. It is hidden for a reason. Each of you is here to learn the lessons of Love, and as you penetrate into the inner planes, the lessons of Love become very obvious and thus your existence here becomes quite changed.

Does this answer your question?

G1 [Inaudible].

Hatonn: We are grateful for the opportunity. Is there another question?

[Pause]

If not, I will close through the one known as B. I am Hatonn.

(B channeling)

I am now with this instrument. My friends, I will leave you after a very few words, for we realize that you are all tired. My friends, go forth at each day with that that is known to you as love in your love, in your heart, in your mind. My friends, always remember, as you well know, that all is Love. My friends, when you dwell within your physical realm you indeed dwell within the energy that is known to you as Love. My friends, as you allow your intellect to, shall we say, rule your existence, my friends, you yourself cut off that flow of energy which is known as Love from yourself. My friends, do not allow this to happen, for it is truly of your own making. My friends, remember, study the thing known to you as Love. Treat all that you meet and, my friends, that is to say, those of which you do not already know. For, my friends, they are a concept of our Creator Who created us all.

My friends, it has been a great honor to be with you this evening and share with you in your meditation. I leave you now in the love and light. I and my brothers thank you. I leave you now. I am Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I had a phone call with a friend of mine who has been living a difficult life with her husband who has no respect for her or her needs. She has been having good days from time to time, and then bad days like today. So, she appreciated my just listening to her problems and making occasional comments and asking questions.

This afternoon I heard from my cousin in Ogallala, Nebraska that my aunt Margaret passed into larger life this morning. She said that she would let me know when the funeral was, so I will be flying back to Denver, then to Kearney, Nebraska, and then renting a car to drive to Ogallala for the funeral. Margaret was my favorite aunt. For years she was a teacher and taught in a one-room school with grades from kindergarten to twelfth grade. And she was also the last one-room schoolteacher in the United States. She and her husband and my cousin loved rodeos. Gordon was a calf roper, and my cousin was a barrel racer. Margaret kept the score for all of the events. All of her children, grandchildren, friends, and I will miss her, but I know that she is in her true home beyond the veil of forgetting where she can see that we are all co-Creators helping the Creator to know Itself better.

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

August 13

Earth May Heal Itself

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

Amidst the rampaging of the Earth, I come to you, the Spirit of perfect Love.

Against the storming of your people, I, the Spirit of peace and understanding, greet you.

Against the folly of so many who eagerly seek to destroy the creation of the Father, I come with healing in my wings.

This day, turn your attention from these spoilers who ruin the Earth faster than the Earth may heal itself and gaze, in everywhere possible, at the beauties of the creation about you. Think upon your ways. Gaze upon the beauty that still remains and pray for guidance, that all things may be loved as the Father loves you.

We leave you in that Love and that 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. The Hatonn quote was from March 11, 1978:

(Carla channeling)

[The first part of the tape is inaudible.]

Hatonn: [I am Hatonn.]… A story from the Buddhist… is known to this instrument, which emphasizes this truth. In the story, a wise old man is accused of fathering a child. And when the mother…

We are not denying in any way that each personality incarnates into the illusion with one primary, as Carla would say, program. This program is general and can be applied in various ways. If some ways are blocked, it may or may not be possible to fulfill the program as originally intended. However, it is a frequent thing that those who plan ahead find their plans… This is true, shall we say, of the soul in an infinite sense, as well as it is true that the personality is… The ultimate program for any individual… is completely achievable… For that goal is simple: it is to be aware of the original Thought, to be aware of Love. Whether the actions that are part of, shall we say, the karmic programming, are taking place as planned… the primary goal of expressing the original Thought is always… each individual is free the whole time. Many times it seems there are circumstances that are far less than…

An important thing to understand about the interfacing between the ultimate program and realizing Love and the action program for one personality in one life experience is this. If the individual continually grounds himself in the original Thought, a condition is thereby prepared for an interface between Love and proper action. We have said to you many times, meditate. Meditate and… Do not doubt, distrust or cease in your desire to be of service. As you meditate, allow that desire to keep the vibration, the antennae let us say, of your senses on the finer planes… You have felt that you are in the wilderness, and yet it is precisely in the wilderness that you must be alone, for you have the challenge of being aware of that which is paradise totally within yourself rather than being in the position of dwelling in paradise and attempting to remember the wilderness. We say to you the experience of wilderness is extremely important to growth of what you would call your soul.

In this session Hatonn began by speaking of our pre-incarnative program. They began by saying  they are not denying how each personality incarnates into the illusion with one primary, as Carla would say, program, so this program is general and can be applied in various ways, but if some ways are blocked, it may or may not be possible to fulfill the program as originally intended, and it is often that those who plan ahead find their plans change, and this is true of the soul in an infinite sense, as well as it is true that the personality is, for the ultimate program for any individual is achievable because that goal is simple: it is to be aware of the original Thought of Love, for whether the actions that are part of the karmic programming, are taking place as planned, the primary goal of expressing the original Thought is always… each individual is free the whole time, so many times it seems there are circumstances that are far less than were planned. Hatonn continued by saying an important thing to understand about the interfacing between the ultimate program and realizing Love and the action program for one personality in one life experience is if the individual continually grounds themself in the original Thought, a condition is prepared for an interface between Love and proper action, so Hatonn has said to us many times to meditate, and do not doubt or cease in our desire to be of service, and as we meditate allow our desire to keep the vibration of our senses on the finer planes, for we have felt that we are in the wilderness, and yet it is in the wilderness that we must be alone, for we have the challenge of being aware of that which is paradise within ourself rather than being in the position of dwelling in paradise and attempting to remember the wilderness, for the experience of wilderness is important to the growth of what we would call our soul. On October 30, 1988, Q’uo spoke of the value of our being in the wilderness:

There is oftentimes the need for what you have called the desert experience, in order that the finest qualities of the being be enhanced and refined by the trials of the isolation and the testing of the resolve to exercise the will and the faith that are the rod and staff of the seeker. The conscious mind, in such instances, which asks for the assurance in an understandable manner that the self is not alone or that the experience has such and such a purpose, are oftentimes the crying in the wilderness which must be accepted, but if the initiation and the testing is to be successfully completed, must be endured rather than catered to, shall we say.

The process of the evolution of mind, body, and spirit within your illusion, your illusion having such great mystery, is one which is, as the progress is accelerated, oftentimes difficult in nature. But, as we are aware that those in this group have heard it said, happiness and contentment are not the goals. The enhancing of the quality of compassion and the offering of its fruits are more to the heart of the purpose, from our point of view. Thus, there is much of difficulty that must simply be endured, and must be allowed to work its unseen function over a period of what you would call time, in order that the deeper qualities of the being which will survive such storms and tempests might be reinforced, and, indeed, brought to the fore in order that the evolutionary progress of the seeker will find its greatest expression within the life pattern.

As the immortal soul plunges into a cycle of experience such as you have committed yourself to in this density, the darkness of not remembering the Creator’s Thought and all… All senses are stilled. Slowly the wisdom, kept like a seed within the soul, begins to put forth tiny sprouts and through many life experiences those sprouts are encouraged to grow. In many situations, where there is ease within a life experience, choices are not made on the part of the individual because in paradise the individual grows complacent and does not evaluate all things in the belief of the original Thought. Inconsistency, impurity of motive, causes an interruption in the vibratory pattern of growth. And that particular incarnation serves only as a resting point between other more beneficial incarnations.

We do not ask you or any individual to truly rejoice in feelings of desolation, in feelings of getting off the track, shall we say. And yet we say to you that with enough determination, that wandering in the wilderness can one day herald that which is described in your holy works as the voice of God crying in the wilderness to make straight the way of the Creator. When you are struggling to understand, the struggling may seem to go on interminably. But then, suddenly the rocky places are made smooth, the mountains are made land. In your outer life it is possible nothing might have happened to cause this breakthrough. It is your inner Light that counts.

Hatonn went on to say as the immortal soul plunges into a cycle of experience such as we have committed ourself to in this density, the darkness of not remembering the Creator’s Thought and all senses are stilled, and slowly the wisdom, kept like a seed within our soul, begins to put forth tiny sprouts and through many life experiences these sprouts are encouraged to grow, so in many situations, where there is ease within a life experience, choices are not made on the part of the individual because in paradise the individual grows complacent and does not evaluate all things in the belief of the original Thought because inconsistency causes an interruption in the vibratory pattern of growth, and the incarnation serves only as a resting point between other more beneficial incarnations. Then Hatonn said they do not ask us or any individual to rejoice in feelings of desolation, yet they say to us that with enough determination that wandering in the wilderness can one day bring the voice of God crying in the wilderness to make straight the way of the Creator, so when we are struggling to understand, the struggling may seem to go forever, but suddenly the rocky places are made smooth, and in our outer life it is possible and nothing might have happened to cause this breakthrough, for it is our inner Light that counts. On May 21, 1995, Q’uo described how our inner Light may be enhanced:

As the sands of the sea, as the stars in your sky, just so infinite are the shining spirits which are embodied within this creation who turn their glowing faces toward the Creator in praise and thanksgiving. At this time many, many of those not incarnate in physical vehicles flock within the inner planes of your globe. To those who ask for help they flock by the millions to offer their candle power to heighten the inner Light of those in need. Yours is third density. Ask for help and help will be given you. Reach out the hand and it will be full of invisible but real Love. You are loved, not because you have achieved but because you exist, a child of the infinite Creator. You are enfolded, snuggled, by invisible nurturing arms. Every cell of your body is perfect. Your truth is that all is perfect. There is no striving necessary, for all is well.

This is why we say that you are free. It is your thought, your choice, your understanding. Trust that understanding. And we ask you again, do not fear the wilderness. Do not fear sorrow, desolation, lack of understanding… All of these things mean nothing. Only one thing matters: that is that you continually seek the original Thought. You cannot re-choose what is past. You can choose this moment at all times; to become totally conscious of the moment, to see Love, to seek the Creator. These are inner things. They may not ever be brought into action on the dramatic plane. Some paths are dramatic; some are not. And this is true with all individuals. Those who have dramatic incarnations are those who have chosen a multitude of times; those who do not are those also who have chosen. There is no predetermining. There is only one choice, my friends. The Creator is everywhere, within each choice.

We speak to the one known as Carla also, for she has had many doubts lately as to the validity of her health in this incarnation. The Creator offers to those who wish to serve the wilderness. Those who serve will be forever seeking that which is. My friends, you know there is great joy in the seeking. There is joy in fellowship. And there is joy even when totally isolated from your friends. In fellowship seek out the joy of yourself and the Creator. Love is within you. Joy is within you. And the wilderness is within you. Step forward fearlessly. Paradise is also within you.

I would like at this time to open this meeting to questions.

Then Hatonn said this is why they say that we are free, and it is our thought and our understanding, so trust that understanding, and do not fear the wilderness, sorrow, or lack of understanding, for all of these things mean nothing, and only one thing matters: that we continually seek the original Thought since we cannot re-choose what is past, but we can choose this moment to become conscious of the moment, to see Love and to seek the Creator, for these are inner things, and they may never be brought into action on the dramatic plane because some paths are dramatic, and some are not, and this is true with all individuals, so those who have dramatic incarnations are those who have chosen a multitude of times, and those who do not are those also who have chosen, for there is no predetermining since there is only one choice, for the Creator is everywhere, within each choice. Now Hatonn said they speak to Carla also, for she has had many doubts as to the validity of her health in this incarnation, so the Creator offers to those who wish to serve the wilderness who will be forever seeking that which is, for we know there is great joy in the seeking and in fellowship, and there is joy even when we are isolated from our friends, so in fellowship we can seek out the joy of ourself and the Creator, for Love and joy and the wilderness are within us, so step forward fearlessly because paradise is also within us. On July 12, 1981, Hatonn said that we should seek the original Thought:

What a wonderful treasure room is locked within you. There is no limitation and no difficulty that can remove the key to that treasure room from your hand. Feel merry then, my friends, and with utmost gladness seek the original Thought, that fire that blew upon creation and formed the planets in their courses, the suns in all their brilliance, the galaxies in their splendor, and your tiny, delicate, island home, your Earth. You are inheritors of the splendor of creation. And as you channel that Love and that Light, you are co-creators with it. Be of good cheer. Understood or reviled, if your work is as it should be within your heart, there is nothing that can truly sway you to the quick, for you are covered in Light.

S: I would like to know about my dreams I have been having. Can you shed any light on them?… Is there anything I should be afraid of?

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: I am aware of your question. You are one who is sensitive to the emanations of finer vibrations. This is not obvious to you in the waking state. However, in your, shall we say, immortal soul you are very advanced in study upon the inner planes and in other incarnations have spent most of your time in these states. In short, this is the essence of your experience. However, you are experiencing difficulty due to an incomplete, or shall we say,… of the proper methods for achieving these altered states. Therefore, when you are as consciousness moving into them, you are bypassing certain, shall we say, guardians and attempting to go directly into a more advanced vibration. It is somewhat akin to attempting to walk through the walls of a house rather than go through the door. In order to work on this, it would perhaps be helpful for you to, in a conscious state, after surrounding yourself with white Light and praying to the Creator for guidance, and then attempt to project through a carefully straight line.

We are not suggesting of projecting bodily consciousness, but only projecting the thought of a straight line. There are various colors and images which should gradually come to you. And it would perhaps be well to keep notes of what you see. In this way you may perhaps by, shall we say, self-hypnosis methods, recall consciously a piece, a door, shall we say, into higher vibrations.

Does this answer your question?

S: I’m not sure.

Hatonn: We are aware of your problem. It is for this reason that we spoke to you of colors and images. You are, as are most who dwell in the dimension of Earth, not sensitive to specific visual counterparts of finer plane beings. In other words, most of those upon your planet do not perceive spirit guides and ghosts. If you were to fall completely into a state of sleep, as you call it, then you would then be totally able in your well-collected spiritual essence to contact the guides, to speak to the proper guardians of each plane. And to do all that is necessary to ensure proper passage for lessons.

However, in the conscious, or semiconscious state you will have difficulty identifying as being guardian and your own guide. However, you will see them as images or colors. But when you are seeing these things, even faintly, you have indeed fastened into your own symbols for the reality within. You are not seeing the reality, you are seeing the symbolic representation, in simple translation of a more complex reality. However, to focus on a color or an image is the same in consciousness as to focus on your guide or the guardian of a plane. Therefore, as long as you are protected by prayer and visualization of white Light, and as long as you do not work in this endeavor for long periods of time and thereby become weary, this endeavor will be without danger to you. Among other things, it may give you more confidence in your ability to sense psychically that which cannot be expressed…

Then Hatonn said they are aware of our problem, and it is for this reason that they spoke to us of colors and images, for we are as most on Earth, not sensitive to visual counterparts of finer plane beings, so most of those upon our planet do not perceive spirit guides and ghosts, and if we were to fall into a state of sleep we would be able in our spiritual essence to speak to the proper guardians of each plane and to do all that is necessary to ensure proper passage for lessons. Haton went on to say that in the conscious, or semiconscious state, we will have difficulty identifying a being as our guardian or guide, so we will see them as images or colors, but when we are seeing these things we have fastened into our symbols for the reality within, we are seeing the symbolic representation in a simple translation of a more complex reality, so to focus on a color or an image is the same in consciousness as to focus on our guide or guardian of a plane, and as we are protected by prayer and visualization of white Light, and as long as we do not work in this endeavor for long periods of time, this endeavor will be without danger to us, and it may give us more confidence in our ability to sense psychically that which cannot be expressed…On January 15, 1989, Latwii spoke of the nature of our guardian:

Each portion of what you have spoken is in some degree correct. It is true for each within your illusion that the first guide or guardian is a portion of the self which has been called by many names, some of which are the “higher self,” the “oversoul,” or “that which overshadows the small self” within the incarnation. This is a portion of the self that is far more clearly a part of the creation and the Creator and which exists at what you would call a higher level of vibration, having, shall we say, the overview or the road map which describes the territory which shall be covered, but which does not guide to the point of overriding the free will of the entity, but with the cooperation of the entity within the incarnation plans before the incarnation the general nature of the journey which shall be experienced, and during the incarnation may, with the assistance of others, provide the entity within the incarnation the opportunities, the stimuli, shall we say, that will remind it of that which it has come to accomplish. Many times, there is the meeting with just the right person at just the right time or the presentation of the appropriate book or program on your television or on any system of instruction which leads the entity in a manner which will allow it to travel as it has wished to travel and to learn that which it has wished to learn.

S: The last dream that I had… And I was just trying to let it come over me so that I could understand it better. And then I heard a voice saying to get out of it. Was I in danger then? Should I continue to get out of it, or am I in danger if I dream? I’m afraid to let it come back over me. I feel that there is danger there. How am I to handle future instances in between my trying to open the door, instead of walking through the wall, as you say?

Hatonn: I am aware of your question. You were not in danger from outside influences at the time of which you speak. The voice was the voice of your fear on a level of being which was not able to see the inner planes and felt the leaving… For it is indeed true that were a spirit to completely leave without any trace the physical body, death would occur. However, the spirit would never do so. However, the answer to blackness is always Light. It is perhaps asking a great deal of one who seeks to become immediately conscious of behavior within a dream, or what is called a dream in your terminology. Thus, if in your dream you have spoken and requested that your guides move you to the proper orientation for permission of the guardians to enter the desired plane, and if you had asked this in the name of the Creator, the obstacle would have been removed, and your quest would have been successful. As it was, you did very well to remove yourself from that state of fear.

The important thing to remember is that to call upon the name of the Creator is to orient oneself in a manner of protection. It is not particularly desirable for any individual to proceed faster than the pace that seems most promising. Therefore, it is not necessary that you set yourself the goal of overcoming this obstacle [inaudible]. However, we reassure all those who seek that there are no terrors of the deep, shall we say, that cannot be countered by constant repetition of that which is divine. In unity let there be no separation. While this is not a difficult concept, it is only when it is fused with determination and vigor, and shall we say, an emotional emphasis, that it achieves its proper function.

S asked: “The last dream that I had… And I was just trying to let it come over me so that I could understand it better. And then I heard a voice saying to get out of it. Was I in danger then? Should I continue to get out of it, or am I in danger if I dream? I’m afraid to let it come back over me. I feel that there is danger there. How am I to handle future instances in between my trying to open the door, instead of walking through the wall, as you say?” Now Hatonn said you were not in danger from outside influences at the time of which you speak, for the voice was the voice of your fear on a level of being which was not able to see the inner planes and felt the leaving… , for it is true that were a spirit to leave without any trace the physical body, death would occur, but the spirit would never do so because the answer to blackness is always Light, and it is asking a great deal of one who seeks to become conscious of behavior within a dream, so if in your dream you have requested that your guides move you to the proper orientation for permission of the guardians to enter the desired plane, and if you had asked this in the name of the Creator, the obstacle would have been removed, and your quest would have been successful, so as it was, you did very well to remove yourself from that state of fear. Hatonn continued by saying that the important thing to remember is that to call upon the name of the Creator is to orient oneself in a manner of protection, so it is not desirable for any individual to proceed faster than the pace that seems most promising, for it is not necessary that you set yourself the goal of overcoming this obstacle, but we reassure all those who seek that there are no terrors of the deep that cannot be countered by constant repetition of that which is divine, so in unity let there be no separation, and while this is not a difficult concept, it is only when it is fused with determination that it achieves its proper function. On January 2, 2016, Q’uo described how we need to focus on our spiritual journey in a way that avoids negative outside influences:

So, you see, this explains much of the situation in which you find yourself within cultures, religions, economic systems and nation-states which are formed around concepts which are not usually related to the spiritual journey. Even those paths that seem on the outside to have a religious context have, in many cases, allowed the outside influences of those who are not seeking the Creator or seeking to serve others as the Creator, to confuse and distract the purpose, even of a religious journey.

Does this help?

S: Yes. I guess I’m still a little leery about the whole situation, because, one, when I first know that the dream is coming on, I immediately ask for Light in the infinite Creator to be with me, and yet the effects of what the dream is, the environment that is around me even with my trying desperately to hang onto the light, is so… I feel like I’m being held over a pit. I don’t know how or what more I can do to reassure myself to get over it without the constant fight that I have. I have to do it. I mean, if I am already asking the infinite Creator and I’ve already pictured Light around me, and yet the dream is still there and I am still struggling so with the darkness, and the fear is still there, then that is why I’m [inaudible] when I wanted, when I asked [inaudible] to understand it.

I thought that was the last thing that I could reach for was to understand it [inaudible]. I felt that I had almost lost myself. So, even though your words are encouraging, I dread experiencing another dream like that just to prove that what you say is true. Because I feel like I’ve already done what you have said. Because that is how I do react to a frightening situation. I immediately call on the infinite Creator, because I know [inaudible]. So, although I am eager to move on from this and find about these other planes, and this is something that I would really like to do, only the process is so overwhelming. I’m not sure if I understand exactly… Okay, if I sat down consciously and tried to picture the line and the door and asked for guidance through it, then would that… If I do that tomorrow, could I be assured that I won’t have one of these dreams tomorrow night?

Hatonn: I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. As we earlier said, it is not desirable that you [inaudible]. It is desirable that you do seek as, shall I say, you are comfortable. We suggest that as this is [inaudible] as you call it, you arrange to study what we have said at length. The matter of fear is greatly limited to those who endure it and when the one who does not fear calls upon the Creator with intense emotion, it is a different experience from one who fears and seeks for a straw to hold onto. It is a matter of becoming what this instrument would call a magical personality. And this is indeed what you are [inaudible] learning to do within the strengthening framework of your personal daily life.

Instead of repeating ourselves, we will simply allow you to say what we would say. By all means, do not plunge into fear in order to rid yourself of fear. Instead, do what seems good and beautiful and true; you are aware that you can break this chain of events and continue to do so until you feel good about following that [inaudible]. It is a relatively unimportant part of your understanding. As we have said, you are extremely well developed in this area in an unlimited sense, and it is a matter of remembering rather than learning within this limited life experience that you are dealing with. Therefore, it is not [inaudible].

Is there another question?

S: Yes. When Carla, B, and I were being regressed, I always wondered what your thoughts were about our experience, or what we said our past life was on another planet, and what we are doing here. Just recently I’ve had a lot of doubts about my previous training and [inaudible] at least I thought I was being trained for service here.

Hatonn: I am with the instrument. I am aware of your question. It is a question that I cannot answer directly. We are supportive of all those who seek [inaudible]. We are supportive of those things which they do to attempt to understand their place in the creation, and their methods of following the path of the Creator. Each individual must put together their own puzzle. When the one known as Carla, and the one known as B, and the one known as S discovered a bit more of

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

…in the light of the larger perspective and service to humanity.

It is important that you understand that each of you has had many, many more experiences than you have discovered and [inaudible] session many, many incarnations, some of which seemed to be not useful. As we said earlier, in each incarnation there is the possibility for the kind of dramatic service that puts one in the public eye as one who serves the Creator. And in many incarnations each individual does not choose that but chooses instead a path of less visibility and more inner work. This is according to the need of that incarnation, that particular moment in eternity, if you will. These incarnations are not clearly perceived and can be missed. An incarnation can be largely of work in the inner planes and partially of work in the public eye. It is dependent upon the desire of the individual. Again, we ask you to go back and study that we have said to you [inaudible] this evening.

What we have said this evening is not simple. It is an advanced message far harder and far less delightful than an introductory message. It is a message that we could only give to a dedicated seeker. We wish you much light in your pursuit of what you had to say.

Is there another question?

[Pause]

Perhaps you wish to cease at this time. It is, my friends, as though the creation were water. What will you do, my friends? Will you simply be a sponge and soak up the creation and squeeze it out unchanged, untouched? Or will you accept the water as does the earth, filtering, giving minerals, giving taste to the creation, the very essence of your creation, mixing [inaudible] so that life carves in you its channels and you give to life your [inaudible]. You are aware that pure water has no taste, [inaudible]. Do not fear becoming intimate in life as you [inaudible].

I leave you in all the love of the creation and all the light of the creation. I am your brother. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I drove my Subaru, Stanley, to Bachman Subaru and asked them if they could fix the alternator on Stanley. They said that they thought that they could, so I attempted to get a rental car to drive home in from Enterprise Rental Car. I was told that a rental car would not be available until tomorrow at 10 am, so one of the shuttle drivers drove me home. When I got home I continued the watering of my flower gardens that I began last night.

This afternoon I continued watering of the flower gardens in the front of my home.

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

August 12

The Universality Of Suffering

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

You have pain in your heart. Is that so remarkable? It is given to each to suffer pain and, through suffering, to learn and grow.

The Spirit of Love wishes most greatly to comfort and relieve the heart’s suffering and asks you to gaze about at each person with whom you come in contact. Open the windows of the heart and be vulnerable before the pain of each other person and so see the universality of suffering. Then turn your hearts to the great fruits of suffering: compassion and joy.

For do you not see entities, day after day, sacrificing their concerns for the needs of others: mothers and fathers for their children, friends for friends, and, in the heart which has grown sweet with compassion, stranger for stranger?

The spirit sees the whole without boundaries of geography or personality. You dwell in boundaries and limits. Yet by seeing the pain of another soul, so you may see that your lot is not unlucky. Then open yourself to the healing movement of the Spirit of Love within which answers the call of the pain of others. And join in that harmony of compassion that forms a net of Love about your beautiful planet amongst all people.

We leave you in the peace of true wholeness, both now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from November 9, 1977:

(Unknown channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. It is as always our privilege to be with you. And this evening it is pleasing to see so many. We of the Confederation attempt so often to communicate in many forms with your people, and time and time again, we find that our attempts are in somewhat what you would call, a fruitful [inaudible] and then there are other times when we find no ears to listen. And it joys us, and it gladdens us to know that you wish to listen and to know that above that, you seek the truth, the truth upon which all things are founded. You seek the truth in order that you might understand not only your environment, but your own inner being. My friends, we say to you that if you do not know yourself and of your abilities, then you shall remain in ignorance until you do so. You may attempt in many ways to gain intellectual knowledge. You can earn many degrees, as you would call it. You may be accepted by the greater peers of your society; you may be recognized as what you may term a genius; but yet we say, you remain in ignorance in spite of all these things if you know not yourself.

We of the Confederation have attempted to tell your people throughout many, many of your years the importance of this simple knowledge of the inner being that sustains and ordains your existence. We of the Confederation have mentioned to our contacts, time and time again, the method which we feel most beneficial by which to gain this knowledge of self and of the universe. And as you are aware, that method is what we term as meditation. Meditation, my friends, brings us the key to the universe. It is the key to the inner being that you are. It is the key to the door of the Creator’s house. It is the key to the door of all truth and understanding.

Meditation is the silence which is spoken of so often within the holy works that your people recognize upon this planet called Earth. My friends, the silence that you enter into is a silence which may at time seem to be vast and at other times to be very minute. And this is as it should be, my friends, for within the universe, all things are both infinitely small and infinitely large. For every expansion there is that opposite, contraction; for every thing there is balance. And balance, my friends, can only be achieved by the experience of both sides of what we may call the scale. The scale of positive or negative, if you so desire. Within your meditations you may find that balance. For it shall provide you with the understanding of your experiences, whether they be of the positive or negative nature. They are to be understood, for without the understanding of that which you experience, the lessons have been overlooked; the lessons have passed you by.

Very often, as people upon planet Earth proceed through their daily chores and activities, they become, shall we say, unknowledgeable of that which occurs around them, for their attention is focused in one area and their closest sensitivities in order that they may concentrate upon the performance of their duties. We say that as you go through these duties of life, concentrate if you must, in order that you do the best that you may do, but allow your sensitivities to remain in complete function, so that you may absorb the entire experience that you encounter. And as you absorb these experiences they shall register within your memory banks, there to be held in order that you may learn to understand and call upon that understanding in what you would call your future.

People upon planet Earth are what you would consider to be the highest form of intelligence within the universe, if only they would recognize this ability. We of the Confederation have lived through your experiences. We have grown through similar experiences. And through our growth we have learned the simplicity and the magnificence of your race. For we, too, are of your race. There are some basic differences, for we have progressed the same as you and we have possessed the same forms as you. People upon planet Earth are residing upon a testing ground of spiritual awareness; testing grounds in which they may grow and gain all of the knowledge necessary in order to expand into the universe and spread the love and the light, the truth and the understanding of our Creator.

It is indeed, shall we say, your opportunity and obligation as inhabitants of planet Earth to become the teachers and the servants of your fellow beings within this area of space in which you reside. There is around and about you, throughout your system, intelligent life; some with greater understanding than what you possess on planet Earth and some with less understanding. But in no other civilization, within your confines of space, is there the magnitude of possibility for progression that you may experience on planet Earth. You have not been chosen idly to abide upon this planet. You have progressed throughout the evolutionary scales, throughout thousands and thousands of what you would call years, and you have earned the opportunity to reside upon this particular planet, to fulfill your own particular purpose in this creation.

If people upon planet Earth were truly aware of the number of individuals, as you would consider them, throughout the universe, that would desire inhabitation upon this planet then they would begin to realize in greater detail the importance of their existence, and the special importance of this period of time and experience upon this particular planet. There is throughout the universe a structure, which we will simply call a hierarchy. They oversee your activities, they evaluate your progression, and they do many things for you to enable you to obtain the experiences that you have earned and are necessary for your growth.

You are constantly, what you might call, monitored by this hierarchy. They pass not judgment on you, but they watch with great concern your activities. For they are aware of your purpose, and they are awaiting its fulfillment with great patience and compassion for their fellow beings upon planet Earth. They in turn send forth to you emissaries of truth and knowledge and understanding and Love. We, my friends, are those emissaries. Yet, we claim not to be of any greater value than people upon planet Earth. For, my friends, we could not bring these truths to you if it were not for your presence. We could not serve you if you did not inhabit this place in time. So, we are grateful that you have come to listen. For expressing your desire to listen to our words, you have given us the only means of fulfillment of our purpose at this point in time in this universe.

We are always grateful to you, we shall always love and respect each and every one of you, and we shall always be here to help. Whenever it is desired, this is our purpose, to assist you in the awakening of your inner self. Once this awakening has been achieved, then no longer shall you need our assistance. For you shall be with us, perhaps not in physical form but in what you would term “spiritual essence.” Earth, my friends, is the training grounds for what your mythology has termed as “gods.” This has been expressed through other instruments, and it is indeed the truth. Be not discouraged if your society seems to be against you, or go against your code of morality. Do not be discouraged, my friends, because it is your opportunity to grow. It is your opportunity to learn and to understand your own power of creativity.

For we say that what you experience is the manifestation of your own thought patterns. Whether they be of a conscious or subconscious projection, they are indeed the manifestation of your own inner thoughts, feelings, emotions, and understanding. So, is it not logical that in order to truly know your universe and all about it, that you must first know yourself? If the law of creation which we have given to you is indeed true, so are the words that we speak. We demand in no way that you accept what we say. We only speak it, for it is what we understand and what we experience. It is your choice, my friends, to either grasp on to this understanding and to refine it or to search for another one. But we assure you that in due time, whether it be within this life experience or not, all of the people upon planet Earth shall come to understand the simplicity of the truth that we speak.

We of the Confederation are aware of all of the great teachers now on your planet and all of the great teachers within your past. We recognize none as being greater than the other one, only some who were known better, who experienced greater success. And of these, the most successful was the one who you would call the Christ. The Christ, my friends, was the manifestation of the desires of your peoples for the truth and for an example. Follow the words that He spoke but above all live the life that He lived. Live the truth that you find that you may speak, as did this teacher, and the universe shall lay at your feet and give praise unto you, for indeed you are the risen Christ. For each and every one of you is the risen Christ the moment that you understand yourself.

I would transfer this communication. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am with this instrument. I am Laitos, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I ask you to pause with us at this time to work on conditioning. We are privileged to work especially with those who desire to intensify their contact with the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator. We will work on each of you at this time, and we ask you to relax. We ask you to envision the energy of Love all about you. It permeates the air about you, my friends. You breathe it in with every breath and absorb it through the skin of your chemical body. Love is all about you. You breathe it in; and you are a sentient being; and you cause this Love to have direction, my friends. And this Love that you breathe in and absorb spirals up your energy centers—and we are aiding you and feeling this at this time—and the energy rises as smoothly as you have begun to open the doors of meditation.

And as you become a purer channel, my friends, this energy rises more and more smoothly and becomes a pure Love energy as you give it out as freely as it has come to you. And now this energy, my friends, leaps up like flames from each of you and becomes a beautiful white energy, and moves from one to another about the circle that you have made in your seeking this evening. We ask you to feel this energy, feel the unity of that movement of Love in the circle. Feel the potential building up. This unity of Love my friends, is reality. You are experiencing Love at this time. Now, relax and continue to feel the energy coming in, being directed by the wisdom of your being, being sent to the group as love energy, and feel the unity.

Laitos wanted to share the conditioning vibration with those in this group who wanted to learn how to channel them. Laitos began by saying I ask you to pause with us at this time to work on conditioning as we are privileged to work with those who desire to intensify their contact with the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator, so we will work on each of you at this time, and we ask you to relax and envision the energy of Love all about you, for it permeates the air about you, and you breathe it in with every breath and absorb it through the skin of your chemical body, and Love is all about you, so you breathe it in; and you are a sentient being; and you cause this Love to have direction, so this Love that you breathe in and absorb spirals up your energy centers—and we are aiding you and feeling this at this time—and the energy rises as smoothly as you have begun to open the doors of meditation. Then Laitos said as you become a purer channel this energy rises more smoothly and becomes a pure Love energy as you give it out as freely as it has come to you, and now this energy leaps up like flames from each of you and becomes a beautiful white energy, and moves from one to another about the circle that you have made in your seeking this evening, so we ask you to feel this energy, feel the unity of that movement of Love in the circle, and feel the potential building up since this unity of Love is reality, for you are experiencing Love at this time, so relax and continue to feel the energy coming in, being directed by the wisdom of your being, being sent to the group as Love energy, and then feel the unity. On January 18, 1976, Hatonn described the vibration of Love as our reality:

But, my friends, the basic vibration of the Creator, perfect Love, is a vibration which is given not only through us, but through your aides and guides, whom you would call angels, through your own inner self, through teachers upon your own spiritual planes, as you would call them—everywhere, everywhere, my friends, within the creation. This original vibration of Love is reality. In meditation you are seeking not an electromagnetic wave from us; you are seeking perfect Love. What we can give you in this channeling wave is a means of service to others. Also, it is, as we are well aware, a comfort to some of you to know that we are present. For, indeed, our presence is a supporting one in that we love each of you, and wish only to comfort you and help you through your experience.

[Pause]

Very quickly, my friends, we will make contact with some of the newer instruments. We will not spend a great deal of time on this, but we wish to exercise the newer channels, if you will be patient. We would like to attempt to say just a couple of sentences through the one known as G, if she would relax. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

We would move now to make contact with the one known as J, if she would relax and speak freely.

[Pause]

We would move now to contact the instrument known as B and say a couple of sentences through him, if he desires to speak our thoughts. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

We would now touch on the instruments known as G and M, so that they may feel our presence.

[Pause]

I am Laitos. We are sorry we are not getting verbal contact, but we felt that it was important to let the whole group feel the energy of the group, so that those who had not previously had experience with contact could feel the energy going from place to place within the circle. This is also part of beginning to become familiar with our type of contact, our type of energy. We are aware that members of the group will be attempting to make contact in a new locality in the near future. And we wish to say to the one known as M, that we will be with you, and that we will continue working with you—I, and Hatonn, and many others of the Confederation. Place, obviously, does not mean very much to us. And indeed, we become very, shall we say, confused about time. What we hear in any time and at any place is the desire of our brothers and sisters on planet Earth for the thoughts that we have to share.

My friends, we would ask you to become aware of the fact that you are real. It is indeed almost as though your people, my friends, think of themselves as one of your toys, a doll perhaps, or a stuffed animal that a child would pick up and play with, making pretend in various situations and then putting the doll aside. And so, you treat yourselves, my friends, many times. And then you say, I will play the part of a wage earner, or I will play the part of a man about town, or an attractive woman, or I will play the part of a churchgoer, or I will play this or that role. And you do not believe yourselves, my friends. You do not understand the game at all.

Laitos was talking about their attempt to speak through the instruments in this circle. They began by saying we are sorry we are not getting verbal contact, but we felt that it was important to let the group feel the energy of the group, so that those who had not previously had experience with contact could feel the energy going from place to place within the circle  because this is also part of beginning to become familiar with our type of contact, and we are aware that members of the group will be attempting to make contact in a new locality in the near future, so we wish to say to M that we will be with you, and that we will continue working with you, so I, and Hatonn, and many others of the Confederation will be with you, so the location does not mean much to us, for we become confused about time because what we hear in any time and at any place is the desire of our brothers and sisters on planet Earth for the thoughts that we have to share. Laitos went on to say we would ask you to become aware of the fact that you are real, and it is almost as though your people think of themselves as one of your toys like a doll that a child would pick up and play with in various situations and then putting the doll aside, so you treat yourselves many ways, and then you say, I will play the part of a wage earner, or I will play the part of a man about town, or I will play this or that role, and you do not believe yourselves, and you do not understand the game at all. On March 18, 2007, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the game of life:

When this instrument chose the image of the game and extended it as a metaphor throughout the writing of the book, the fit was good because of the fact that, in terms of winning a common goal—that is, graduation from third density to fourth density positive—there is a process which follows a certain set of rules in which an entity can succeed in penetrating the game by means of learning, understanding, and applying the rules of the game.

Therefore, from our point of view, using the image and the figure of the game is a good decision in terms of communicating, by means of familiar and comfortable structures, the massive structure of the Game of Life, as this instrument has termed it in her book. If one looks carefully at the great systems of thought that have attempted to describe the nature of life on planet Earth, the nature of humanity’s place in the cosmos or the nature of being itself, one may find in many different authors of many different systems of thought a structure emerging which defines the rules of the game which that particular philosophy set out to solve.

You see, underneath the sawdust and the tinsel of everyday life, there is something in you that is real. And that reality is very precious and will outlast the tinsel and the chemical body itself. The things that happen to you daily are quite important to this real self. Not perhaps in the way they seem to be important, as you pretend to be this or that. The importance of these things comes to you in a funny way, shall we say. It comes to you depending on how you desire that it comes to you. It has been written in the holy works that you call the Holy Bible, “Seek and you shall find.” Just as you desire your experience to be, so it will show itself to you.

Most people, my friends, thinking of themselves as little more than a sawdust doll, do not desire deeply that they may discover the truth in their existence. Therefore, they do not discover the truth in their existence. But, my friends, if you truly desire that each moment may teach you its lessons, then you magnetize yourself, just as though you were walking through a vast beach and looking hopefully for precious metals. Sawdust, my friends, does not attract metal. But if you have magnetized yourself, ah, the metal comes to you through all of the useless sand, and it attaches itself firmly to your understanding. Desire. Do not be afraid of that word. What you desire is up to you. The intensity of your desire is very much up to you, my friends. Do not be afraid to really want to know the truth. Not just now, but all the time. When you are eating, my friends, when you are drinking, when you are speaking, when you are watching your television; you are in there, my friends, you are real, and you are here to learn the truth. It is a simple game, and you play it by magnetizing yourself with desire.

Then Laitos said underneath the sawdust and the tinsel of everyday life, there is something in you that is real, and that reality is precious and will outlast the tinsel and the chemical body itself, and the things that happen to you are important to this real self but not in the way they seem to be important, as you pretend to be this or that, so the importance of these things comes to you in a funny way, for it comes to you depending on how you desire that it comes to you, and it has been written in the Holy Bible, “Seek and you shall find,” so just as you desire your experience to be, so it will show itself to you. Laitos went on to say most people think of themselves as little more than a sawdust doll and do not desire that they may discover the truth in their existence, so they do not discover the truth in their existence, but if you desire that each moment may teach you its lessons, then you magnetize yourself, just as though you were walking through a vast beach and looking hopefully for precious metals, but sawdust does not attract metal, but if you have magnetized yourself the metal comes to you through all of the useless sand, and it attaches itself to your understanding, so desire, and do not be afraid of that word since what you desire is up to you, and the intensity of your desire is up to you, so do not be afraid to want to know the truth all the time because when you are eating, drinking, and when you are speaking you are real, and you are here to learn the truth, for it is a simple game, and you play it by magnetizing yourself with desire. On July 18, 1982, Latwii described the truth of our being:

The path each of you travels is one which is pointed surely and steadily at the one Creator. Your path has many pitfalls; it is so for each true seeker. We rejoice with each of your efforts. They are most valiant, for the conditions under which you labor are conditions which hide a great portion of the truth from you. The truth of your oneness with each of your brothers and sisters, the truth of your oneness with the Creator, and the truth of the Love and the Light and the power of that one Creator within each of your beings is a truth which is hidden from you so that your desire to find it might be enhanced. We rejoice with each of you as you rekindle that desire. Seek, my brothers and sisters, for as you seek, so shall you surely find, for that which you seek is already within your being.

I will turn the message back now to Hatonn, and open the meeting to questions. I am Laitos, and I thank you very, very much for the privilege of speaking with you.

[Tape ends.]

This morning I got out of bed at 2:30 am and packed my carryon suitcase and my computer and drove from Ogallala, Nebraska to Kearney, Nebraska. In Kearney I boarded a small United Airlines jet and flew to Denver, Colorado. Then I had lunch before boarding a United Airlines 737 jet and flew to Louisville, Kentucky.

This afternoon, arrived in Louisville at 2:30 pm, and then I went to the long-term parking garage and discovered that Stanley would not start. So, I called AAA and they said that they would send someone to work on the battery, but they also said that Airport Security could also fix a battery problem. So, I got ahold of the Airport Security guy, and he got Stanley started, but he said that I should go to AutoZone to see if it might be an alternator problem. The AutoZone guy said that it was an alternator problem and suggested that I take Stanley to Bachman Subaru for a new alternator. When I called Bachman Subaru the service department guy said that I could drop Stanley off tomorrow, but finding an alternator for a 20-year old Subaru would take a while.

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

August 11

The Race Of Detail And Duty

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

We see that you have many concerns upon your minds this day and are already eagerly planning how to run the race of detail and duty. How quickly you feel you must run!

Know that the Love of Jesus the Christ moves effortlessly and gracefully with you in each moment of concern, in each detail of the working day. As close as breathing is this Love which smoothes and makes plentiful time, energy and coordination.

Indeed, there is no lack of things to do, yet neither is there a lack of service to offer in Love. Let each detail be transformed by the inner asking of the knowledge of the Love and service breathed forth by the Spirit upon all material things.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from September 26, 1977:

(H channeling)

I am Hatonn. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I shall speak with you this evening, for it has been requested, and it is our purpose for being here. I shall speak upon several subjects and shall attempt to answer many of your questions as we are aware of them.

I have said that my name is Hatonn. Yet, I wish you to know that this is not a name as you would know it. It is merely a means for identifying ourselves in a way that is acceptable to you. If you were within our world, shall we say, you would understand the concept; the concept of lack, shall we say, of desire for identification. This does not mean that we do not live as individuals. But it means that we live as one, together, united for one goal, desirous not of, shall we say, boosting our personalities and of our egotistical traits. We wish only to unite and to serve, as we have come to the realization that all people are servants to one another. And it is our obligation and our desire to serve those upon planet Earth in their time of need.

We have come from many areas as you would understand it, and have traveled great distances as you would understand it. But to us the distances are nearly nonexistent. We feel that those upon planet Earth who attempt to understand, shall we say, the mechanics of the universe have somewhat erred in their pursuit of knowledge. For my friends, to understand the physical intellect that you utilize while existing upon the planet Earth, to utilize that intellect to attempt to understand the universe, is in many ways a useless endeavor. The intellect which you utilize has been programmed to accept finite principles, meaning that you have placed limitations upon that which it shall accept. And the universe, my friends, is founded upon the infinite, all things being infinite and therefore having no limitations. So, it is incomprehensible to us that people could understand the universe in its totality utilizing only the intellect which is many times [inaudible].

We do not attempt to be scornful in any manner. We attempt only to display and to give the truth as we perceive it. Whatever we say we ask only that you listen if you would wish to and decide for yourself if it is the truth that we speak and if the truth that we speak is that which you are seeking. For, my friends, the truth may be presented in many ways. Though it shall always say the same, it can be phrased in many different ways and brought through many different sources. The reason it is this way upon your planet is because your people are still endeavoring within their personalities and seeking means of personal identification. Therefore, each shall choose the path that is most comfortable for them to follow. In understanding this, you can see that it is not the responsibility of anyone to point the fallacy of any path out to one who is consciously following that path with Love in their heart. Though the path may not be the purest in your eyes, the Love within their heart is. And that Love shall eventually draw all to that universal point where all is indeed one with the other.

Look not upon your brothers and sisters as different than you. Look upon your friend as a reflection of a portion of yourself and of your Creator. The Creator, my friends, is a term which we use to signify that which we consider to be the omnipresent energy and intelligence that is, shall we say, the maker of all things. We see the presence of that Creator within each individual and within all matter. For if indeed, as many of your major philosophies have stated, all things are one, then the Creator must be within them. The greatest law which you may observe is to love and respect one another as you would yourself; to love and respect the Creator within each individual. Do not attempt to focus upon those points of personality which seem undesirable to you, but focus your attention upon those points of universality, one with the Creator, within your brothers and sisters. And in this way, you shall commune more quickly, in love and in harmony, with not only your brothers and sisters upon this planet, but with your brothers throughout the universe.

For indeed, the universe in which we all exist is infinite in size and infinite in population as you would know. We of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator, as we sometimes call ourselves, have been with you throughout your history, though we are more numerous now than ever before. And each of you taking a look at the situations within your world can indeed understand why. For people upon planet Earth are caught not only in their own illusion, but in a dilemma. They have created what you would term as inevitable destruction due to environmental abuse and conscious projection of negative thought forms. This is indeed evident and has in many ways been stated by your scientists. Though they do not know the true reasons why, they know the effect that is already in process.

Therefore, we have come to help, to help the people of Earth to understand what it is they have done to cause this effect, and what it is they can do to alleviate to the greatest extent those effects already in process. We wish not to speak of doom. We wish not to speak of annihilation. We wish to speak of the rebirth of planet Earth. Rebirth in not only a physical sense, but more important in a sense that you would term as being spiritual. My friends, you can dwell within this type of environment as long as you choose to do so. But if you choose to advance, shall we say, upon the evolutionary scale, then it is necessary to strive spiritually to understand yourself and your ability to create the environment that you choose. Each and every one of us is the extension, as we have stated, of the Creator. And within us is planted that ability to project thought forms, and if given enough time, to manifest that thought form into physical actuality and experience. You are indeed the co-Creator of your environment with those who you choose to associate with.

People upon planet Earth look about these days and times in many ways to experience what is termed as phenomena. But we say to you that there is no such thing as phenomena. All things are natural within this universe, and all things are possible. Each and every one of you is the phenomena—your life, all of your experiences, are created by you, and most of you do not even realize this. To us this is a phenomenon: your lack of understanding of your own ability. People of Earth, open your heart. Open your mind and your spirit. Allow the truth of the universe that lies within you to radiate not only within this environment, but throughout the universe. Do not label anything or limit anything. Allow your life to flow freely as it is meant to be. Go within yourself periodically each day in what you would term meditation, and allow the God within you, that essence of the Creator within you, to calm you, to inspire you, and to fulfill your needs. Listen to the silence which you can so easily hear. And within that silence we promise to be all the knowledge of the universe if only you would reach out and accept it.

We say many things as we speak to you on Earth. But indeed, the most important that we come to bear is the need for the individual to take the initiative to evolve on a spiritual basis. And we have found the most, shall we say, expedient tool to be the practice of meditation. It is a key given to us by the Creator to unlock those doors that seem to be so stubbornly bolted before us. Free yourself and free your brothers and sisters by going within yourself into the silence. This is the most necessary part.

We of the Confederation are very happy to share with you. I shall transfer this communication to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. And again, I greet you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I shall continue. Yes, my friends, we ask you to meditate in silence, each of your days. And we do this for a reason, my friends. We have said to you Love is all that there is. You must love your brothers and sisters. But, my friends, the beginning of Love is the love of yourself as a whole and perfect being. It is in meditation that you become aware of the true nature of yourself and therefore, my friends, the true nature of the universe, for you are inseparable, completely linked with all that there is. That is why you and we are brothers and sisters, for neither time nor space, nor all the dimensions of creation can separate the oneness of consciousness.

Consider, my friends, yourselves as physical beings who are dressed in many layers and types of attire that cover that which you call your nakedness. You have many things which you do, which you place upon yourselves, many various ways in which you arrange those portions of your body which may grow from day to day. That which you call your hair is arranged in such a way as to make a certain impression, or to please you or to please society. And when you are armored with all of the clothing and the appearance that you desire, then and only then do you meet the world as you perceive it outside yourself. With each layer of clothing, with each arrangement of your hair and your odors and the various manifestations of your physical being, you are separating yourself from the outside world and limiting the responses which you will need to receive in your turn. These are your defenses on a physical level against those things that you do not consider part of yourself. They are your definition of yourself. Perhaps this is not conscious. And perhaps your definition is very carefree. Yet it exists, my friends.

Hatonn asked that we use meditation to discover the true nature of our being. They began by saying they ask us to meditate in silence each of our days, and they do this because Love is all that there is, and we must love our brothers and sisters, but the beginning of Love is the love of ourself as a whole and perfect being, so it is in meditation that we become aware of the true nature of ourself and the true nature of the universe, for we are inseparable, completely linked with all that there is, so that is why we all are brothers and sisters, for neither time nor space, nor all the dimensions of creation can separate the oneness of consciousness. Then Hatonn said to consider ourselves as physical beings who are dressed in many layers and types of attire that cover that which we call our nakedness, and we have many things which we do, and many ways in which we arrange those portions of our body which may grow from day to day, so that which we call our hair is arranged in such a way as to make a certain impression, and when we are armored with all of the appearance that we desire, only then do we meet the world as we perceive it outside ourself, for with each layer of clothing, with each arrangement of our hair, our odors, and the various manifestations of our physical being, we are separating ourself from the outside world and limiting the responses which we will need to receive in our turn, so these are our defenses on a physical level against those things that we do not consider part of ourself, and they are our definition of ourself, so perhaps this is not conscious, and perhaps our definition is carefree, yet it exists. On October 3, 1976, Hatonn described our true nature as Love:

Our message to you has always been simple, and yet because, my friends, your spirits are encased in flesh, our message is never understood in a simple manner, for it filters into your ears in such a way that the simplicity is lost. We tell you that all things are Love, that you are Love, and that your entire existence is a process whereby your whole purpose is to become aware of your true nature; that is, to become aware of the oneness of all things and of the nature of that one thing as Love. It is a simple message.

The thought of allowing your physical being to wander naked in the physical world is not one which seems very desirable. And yet, my friends, all beings are naked. All beings are unified even in their body, even on the level of physical illusion, by the total naturalness and validity of all of the functions and manifestations of their physical form. In nakedness, those differences which seem so obvious when one begins to speak, when one begins to limit oneself by clothing and by cultural differences, fall away and one can see that we are all one.

On mental, emotional, and spiritual levels, those levels which are unseen, are those we would take up at this time. On these levels, you also have clothing and limitations. You have your mental and emotional limitation closely connected with your concept of who you are, and these may be considered like unto your clothing. But inside your clothing, my friends, is the most terrible limitation of all. Like tight bandages, your unseen self is wrapped in a terrible stricture consisting of those feelings which you have towards others concerning those things which you feel they have done to you for which you have not forgiven them. And, on the other hand, my friends, your feelings of guilt for things which you have done to your brothers and sisters for which you do not feel forgiveness. You will never be whole, my friends. You will always be crippled as long as you carry these bandages about your spiritual body. Oh, my friends, this instrument has within her memory a story of a man who went home with a beautiful woman and as she undressed she took off her wig, her make-up, and her padded brassiere and her wooden leg, and suddenly she wasn’t very beautiful anymore.

Then Hatonn said the thought of allowing our physical being to wander naked in the physical world is not one which seems very desirable, yet all beings are naked and are unified even in our body, on the level of physical illusion, by the total naturalness of all of the functions and manifestations of our physical form, so in nakedness those differences, which seem so obvious when we begin to speak and to limit ourself by clothing and by cultural differences, fall away, and we can see that we are all one. Hatonn went on to say on mental, emotional, and spiritual levels we also have clothing and limitations, for we have our mental and emotional limitation closely connected with our concept of who we are, and these may be considered like our clothing, but inside our clothing is the most terrible limitation of all, and like tight bandages, our unseen self is wrapped in a stricture consisting of those feelings which we have towards others concerning those things which we feel they have done to us for which we have not forgiven them, and our feelings of guilt for things which we have done to our brothers and sisters for which we do not feel forgiveness, but we will never be whole, for we will always be crippled as long as we carry these bandages about our spiritual body, and Carla has within her memory a story of a man who went home with a beautiful woman, and as she undressed she took off her wig, her make-up, and her padded brassiere, and her wooden leg, and suddenly she wasn’t beautiful anymore. On October 1, 1995, Q’uo described the nature of our spiritual body:

So know that the human experience is driven by instinct and at the same time there are opportunities every instant to grow into a spiritual body and a spiritual instinct, and when this begins to occur you shall find meditation and contemplation flowing easily and quietly in natural ways throughout the life pattern, and the muscles of spirit will have learned these notes so that now they can work subconsciously, naturally, so that one does not have to think about the process but can enjoy the music of spiritual consciousness and can turn that consciousness upon a world that is all too short on love and laughter. Each of you can be of service to others in this respect, of lightening other’s loads, of offering that light and caring touch, sharing that laugh, and spending time together easing each other’s burdens.

My friends, all those that you look at, within this group and elsewhere, all these, my friends, are cripples. They all have wooden legs. They all have wigs. On the level of your human personality, they are wrapped in the tight bandages of those things they have not forgiven and those things for which they feel they are not forgiven. And therefore, they manifest within the illusion in imperfect ways. And you, my friends, manifest within the illusion in an imperfect way. Now we return to meditation. As you begin to go into the silence, perhaps you have games you play, as we would call them, in which you attempt to carry your clothed spirit, your limited spirit, into the silence. Do not do this, my friends. Picture yourself, mentally, taking guilt and discarding it as you would a piece of clothing. Taking resentment and fear, putting them aside and walking as your shining naked self into the waters of cleanliness. After you have bathed yourself in total forgiveness, total cleanliness for the moment, you can emerge and in your mind, you can sit down and listen. Listen for those signals which will come to you in the silence. You are a whole and complete person. Within you is perfection, wisdom and all the attributes of love.

Yes, you will come out of meditation. Yes, you will begin to wrap the bandages about yourself. But as you come again and again into meditation, strip yourself clean and allow that soothing feeling of wholeness to come into your awareness. You begin to view your brothers and your sisters with something that does approach true Love, for you will see, behind whatever manifestations may occur, that whole and perfect being that dwells perhaps very far beneath, perhaps very obviously beneath the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical clothing. We have always greeted you in love and in light, for that is all that there is. We can greet you in nothing else. As you go into the silence, know that you are within that which is Love. There is nowhere to go. You have no outer influence to seek. All that you desire is within. Meditate, my friends. And always we will aid you in any way that we can.

Now Hatonn said all those that we look at, within this group and elsewhere, are cripples, and they all have wooden legs and wigs, so on the level of our human personality they are wrapped in tight bandages of those things they have not forgiven and those things for which they feel they are not forgiven, so we manifest within the illusion in an imperfect way, and as we begin to go into the silence of meditation, perhaps we have games we play in which we attempt to carry our limited spirit into the silence, but instead we should picture ourself taking guilt and discarding it as we would a piece of clothing by taking resentment and fear, putting them aside, and walking as our shining naked self into the waters of cleanliness, and after we have bathed ourself in forgiveness and cleanliness for the moment, we can emerge, and in our mind we can sit down and listen for those signals which will come to us in the silence, for we are a whole and complete person, and within us is perfection, wisdom, and all the attributes of Love. Hatonn continued by saying we will come out of meditation, and we will begin to wrap the bandages about ourself, but as we come into meditation we should strip ourself clean and allow that feeling of wholeness to come into our awareness until we begin to view our brothers and sisters with something that approaches true Love, for we will see, behind whatever manifestations may occur, that whole and perfect being that dwells far beneath the mental, the spiritual, the emotional, and the physical clothing, and Hatonn has always greeted us in Love and in Light, for that is all that there is, so they can greet us in nothing else, and as we go into the silence, know that we are within that which is Love, for there is nowhere to go since we have no outer influence to seek, and all that we desire is within, so meditate and they will aid us in any way that they can. On November 16, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the nature of true Love:

The ways of courtship are slow and sweet. They are full of passion and yet full of restraint, for the object of love is sensitive, young, inexperienced. And certainly, as an essence, living within consensus reality, your hearts are indeed innocent babes in a wicked world. So, there are the hints that we give you. It is not seeking as a man seeks a woman, and yet it is, in that there is passion, there is true Love, and there is the hope of serving.

Find the ways that your own inner self wishes to express itself. Is it walking in nature? Is it filling your mind with great music or great words? Is it the act of service? We find within this instrument’s mind an example from earlier this day as she was speaking with the one known as Jim, and he was expressing to her how he feels grateful for the opportunity to cut and trim the lawn of the client so that he creates a place of beauty, and as he leaves, he looks back over his shoulder with great affection and pride because he has loved that place and danced with the Love that is in that place. Perhaps that undiscovered country within you is a place that you may love and that you may dance with and in.

At this time, I would open the meeting to questions. If you have a question, please speak up.

Questioner: Could you give some thoughts on dreams and interpreting them?

Hatonn: We are aware of your question. My sister, you must already know that consciousness does not cease either with sleep or with death. Therefore, that which you recall from your dreams is a record that your consciousness has been keeping during your slumbers. There are many levels of consciousness below that which you call consciousness, and many are not understood by those who study dreams. The level that is most often described by those who study the importance of dreams is the level wherein you are as your higher self attempting to speak to your conscious self about the material which you have covered in your experience within the last day or short period. There may be many symbols which those who interpret dreams have fairly adequately covered which may be used within your own dreams as a kind of symbolism to, shall we say, soften the blow of the lessons that your dreams are attempting to offer you.

We do not consider this the most important type of dream, however. In actuality, your consciousness is being taught by your teachers during sleep. And quite often, if you are very careful to keep records of your dreams, you will begin to consciously remember at least part of these lessons. This is most valuable to you, and it is worth attempting to discover by means of keeping records of your dreams. There are some cases where the more advanced among your peoples have the job, shall we say, of leaving their body during sleep periods and within one of the spiritual bodies, as this instrument would call them, going to other places and working with those who may need some kind of help either with mental or physical problems. These healers, as one might call them, are rare, but they are very helpful and do exist, and it is another activity that occurs in, shall we say, a dream form. Separate from all this my sister, are visions, either of the future or of the present, in which you see in a very real sense that which is to occur. This takes place on what you would call the fifth dimension and does not have anything in common with dreaming. You are actually there, and your consciousness is fully awake.

Questioner asked about dreams, and if Hatonn could give her some thoughts on interpreting them. Hatonn began by saying you must already know that consciousness does not cease either with sleep or with death, so that which you recall from your dreams is a record that your consciousness has been keeping during your slumbers, and there are many levels of consciousness below that which you call consciousness, and many are not understood by those who study dreams, and the level that is most often described by those who study the importance of dreams is the level wherein you are as your higher self attempting to speak to your conscious self about the material which you have covered in your experience within the last day, so there may be symbols which those who interpret dreams have covered which may be used within your dreams as a kind of symbolism to soften the blow of the lessons that your dreams are attempting to offer you. On May 25, 1980, Latwii spoke of the value of our dreams:

May we say to you that all things in your experience are very useful for your understanding, and this definitely includes dreams, for one third of your life, if you are lucky, is spent in garnering these messages from parts of your mind and spirit that are forced into quietude during your active, daily work-a-day world. Sometimes your dreams will simply attempt to work out frustrations in your daily life and are simply a means of helping you to adjust to a situation which is less than perfect. However, if you become a student of your own dreams, that is, if you begin to write them down as soon as you awaken, you will begin to understand things about yourself that you did not understand before. For you are, in your dreams, conversing with parts of yourself that are in touch with your higher self and with those whom we would call your angels or your guides.

Once you have begun to pay attention to your dreams, you will begin to have memories of being instructed or even of instructing others, depending upon your particular vibratory pattern as a personality coming into this incarnation. Eventually, you will be able to use faculties of your consciousness in dreams, so that you will have a much better communication with yourself in your deeper or subconscious, as this instrument would call it, mode of being.

Therefore, we would of course encourage you to pay attention to your dreams, just as you would pay attention to those things that occur when you are awake. It is widely known among your people that sleep is necessary only because of dreaming. If sleep occurs without dreaming, the entity becomes ill. In your dreams you are in contact with your higher self and with the Creator. This is your spiritual rest. There are many, many of your people to whom this is the only comfort, for whom this is the only contact. Thus, the more that you meditate or pray, the less that you will need sleep. If you were to totally spend your time in an inspired or loving state, conscious of the Creator, and in ecstasy with the joy of the creation and Love, you would not need your sleep. And, there have been those among your people who have achieved this level of contact with Love. However, for the rest of those upon your planet, as this instrument, for instance, you will continue to need a sufficient amount of sleep, so that you can make contact with those deeper parts of your being.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: Yes. Thank you.

Hatonn: Is there another question? My friends, this has been a longer meeting than usual. And we are very grateful for your patience as we have had a good deal to impart to you. We ask you again to understand that we come to you not to give you technology—for, my friends, you would not be able to handle technology—but Love. For, my friends, you badly need Love. Let us share this with you. If all of you could love each other, you would refrain from your war-like efforts and from your defensive efforts. And, my friends, that money which you now have to spend on your technology would be enough to give you the breakthroughs that your scientists would like to make. We may tell you that we are aware at this time on your planet that there are those close enough to understanding methods of propulsion, fusion power, and other helpful pieces of technological breakthrough that an application of money sufficient to fund their research would make the breakthrough. But your governments will not spend the money on research unless it has defensive abilities.

My friends, technology will come when you have Love. We realize this must seem to you to be, as this instrument would say, a great cop-out. But it is not. We can only say to you that when you have Love, you are joyful and full of energy, and that which has been given to you to do you will do. And the breakthroughs will come, and the technologies will come. If you do not have Love, as it has been written in your holy works, all that you do will be hollow. It is especially important that we say this to you at this time, for you are at the end of a cycle, and if you had the time, you could not use it. For time is coming to a kind of ending, and you are coming to a beginning. Therefore, attempt at this time to find the Love within yourself, and to reach out to your brothers and sisters.

Now Hatonn wanted to share information about technology and Love. They began by asking us to understand that they come to us not to give us technology—for we would not be able to handle technology—but Love, for we badly need Love, so if all of us could love each other, we would refrain from our war efforts and from our defensive efforts, and that money which we have to spend on our technology would be enough to give us the breakthroughs that our scientists would like to make, so they may tell us that they are aware at this time on our planet that there are those close enough to understanding methods of propulsion, fusion power, and other helpful pieces of technological breakthrough that an application of money sufficient to fund their research would make the breakthrough, but our governments will not spend the money on research unless it has defensive abilities. Then Hatonn said technology will come when we have Love, and this must seem to us to be, as Carla would say, a great cop-out, but it is not, and they can only say to us that when we have Love, we are joyful and full of energy, and that which has been given to us to do we will do, and the breakthroughs will come, and the technologies will come, but if we have not Love, all that we do will be hollow, so it is important that they say this to us, for we are at the end of a cycle, and if we had the time, we could not use it, for time is coming to an ending, and we are coming to a beginning, so attempt at this time to find the Love within ourself and to reach out to our brothers and sisters. On October 31, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the end of the cycle of third density:

You see, my friends, the reason that your people are so anxious at this time to discover the purpose of their existence is that at this time your planetary sphere is marking the end of a cycle of existence. And it will be necessary for your people to, shall we say, take a cosmic examination. And those who pass will go on to the next level, and they enter the next lesson. Those who do not pass this examination will have to repeat this so-called Earthly grade once again.

We are here to help you with this examination. We have been here, as you have earlier spoken, for some time; as you would say, for many thousands of your years. Yet it is at this time that we are far more numerous, for it is at this time that we are more needed.

If your path takes you into science, into politics, into any manner of interaction with your brothers and sisters, so be it. Philosophers and spiritual-minded people are not off on top of a mountain. They come down from the mountain and live for the good of their brothers and sisters and for the Love of the Creator that gave them the life, the consciousness, the talent, and the will. We reach out our hands to you, my friends. And we leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning, I cleaned all of the windows and rear-view mirrors on my rental car since it was covered in dust. Then I drove over to Walmart to get some milk to go with the bananas that I saved from breakfast at this hotel that will become my breakfast as I drive back to Kearney, Nebraska early tomorrow morning to board the flight to Denver. Then I filled the tank of the rental car with gas. At 10 am my cousin, Karma, picked me up, and we went to the care home to visit my aunt Margaret. After a while we went out for lunch.

This afternoon Karma and I drove to Lake McConaughy, which is a lake that was created in the late 1930’s by damming the Platte River. It is 22 miles long and the dam is over 200 feet tall. There is a small lake on the other side of Lake McConaughy called Lake Ogallala where my dad and I used to fish when I was in grade school. Then Karma and I drove back to the care home to spend some more time with my Aunt Margaret. She still isn’t eating much at all, so I am planning to come back to attend the funeral whenever it is necessary.

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

August 10

Put On Spiritual Clothing

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

Putting on the clothing is part of the preparation for the day’s business. We suggest to you that you also put on the spiritual clothing of Light which may aid the process of seeking during the day to come.

Visualize and call to the self that great armor of protection that goes before, follows after, guards upon each side and permeates each part and cell of your body. This armor of Light enables the seeker to dwell within the state of joy and peace which the living waters of Love, caught up in the armor of Light, can bear.

Without such armor, without such deep remembrance of Light, it is difficult to dance throughout the daily experience. Each time light is forgotten, be not discouraged but call in again upon yourself that great protection.

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 quote comes from August 10, 1977:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. We are very pleased to be with you, and we greet each of you. We have a good contact tonight, and this makes it easier for us to share our thoughts with you.

Your people, my friends, do not always have a good contact with us, or with any of those who attempt to help them to remember their true self. Why is it, my friends, that your people are often so unaware of the friends that they have? We have come from other worlds, shall we say, other dimensions, other times. Any of your helpers are parts of your own real self, separated from you only by your limited consciousness while within the physical illusion. Others of your helpers have been your teachers through past experiences on the soul level. You have teachers who are within the physical illusion with you at this time whose words you may read or hear; whose music you may hear; whose feelings you may come to understand on a conscious level. Within the illusion, all of these helpers, my friends, who people your world—are inhabitants within the life of your true self which you call the soul. And yet, how many of your people, my friends, think they are alone, and the world is a jungle, and they must get by the best they can? With this kind of philosophy, my friends, every day is a difficult one; every decision is a hard one; and all brothers and sisters are met with suspicion. Yet, my friends, you are truly very rich in friends, most of them unseen, most of them available only through meditation.

Your own higher self is your greatest friend. Your own higher self retains the memory of all that you have learned. Not only in this experience, but in that great sum of experience through which your true self has traveled on its path to where you are now. It has been written in your holy works that the master known as Jesus came to declare the acceptable year of the Creator, the acceptable time for understanding of unity. At the beginning of your cycle, your people were unacceptable, for there was a great darkness, a great forgetting, for all the souls that had begun in this cycle at that time had to begin with total lack of memory, had to begin in the darkness of total illusion to rediscover independently and of free will all of the truths of the Creator; all of the truths and of love and brotherhood and sisterhood; all of those things that separate the conscious awareness of the living soul from the instinctive rise of awareness of your animal life.

Hatonn began this session by talking about our true self. They began by saying our people do not always have good contact with them, or with any of those who attempt to help them to remember their true self, and our people are often unaware of the friends that they have, and Hatonn has come from other worlds and other times, so any of our helpers are parts of our real self, separated from us only by our limited consciousness while within the physical illusion, and other of our helpers have been our teachers through past experiences on the soul level, for we have teachers who are within the physical illusion with us at this time whose words we may read or hear; whose music we may hear; whose feelings we may come to understand on a conscious level, and within the illusion all of these helpers who people our world are inhabitants within the life of our true self which we call the soul, yet many of our people think they are alone, and they must get by the best they can, for with this kind of philosophy every day is a difficult one; every decision is a hard one; and all brothers and sisters are met with suspicion, but we are rich in friends, most of them unseen, most of them available only through meditation. Hatonn went on to say our higher self is our greatest friend and retains the memory of all that we have learned in that great sum of experience through which our true self has traveled on its path to where we are now, and it has been written in our holy works that the master Jesus came to declare the acceptable year of the Creator, the acceptable time for understanding of unity because at the beginning of our cycle, our people were unacceptable, for there was a great forgetting, for all the souls that had begun in this cycle at that time had to begin with total lack of memory, had to begin in the darkness of the illusion to rediscover by free will all of the truths of the Creator; all of the truths and of Love and brotherhood and sisterhood; all of those things that separate the conscious awareness of the living soul from the instinctive rise of awareness of our animal life. On December 17, 1995, Q’uo said that our soul is the one Creator, or our true self:

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, but aware of no sure means of describing the nature of the soul with words that can be understood, for the nature of each soul is the essence of the one Creator, and this essence at its heart is mystery. There is energy. There is intelligence. There is infinity. There is unity. All these are a portion of this soul essence.

And in the instinct to conscious awareness of truth, your people have labored long, for thousands of your years, through many lives. You have worked to begin to express in a conscious manner your knowledge of unity. The master known as Jesus came to declare that acceptable truth. He served as a perfect example. And those truths have become more and more acceptable to individual souls as the cycle has progressed. That acceptable year, my friends, draws nigh and is upon you. That which you are expressing at this time may well be your final expression within this cycle. It is time, as this instrument would say, to get it right. It is within the awareness of each of you within this group to understand the pressures of the one who desires to pass the test at the end of the school year. There is a studying; there is a caring; a desiring that one’s level of understanding may be acceptable.

We ask, my friends, that as you turn to meditation, you turn with desire to understand fully that which is acceptable, that which is true. Many, many are the philosophies and the religions among your peoples that always, no matter what the disagreements and contradictions of what you may call dogma, always the ethical considerations remain constant. The ethics, that which is acceptable, do not seem to be in question, for action is the most expressive form of truth. Therefore, we ask you to meditate and seek that truth. And then go forth and enjoy. Allow that which is acceptable to the Creator to flow from you as you have received it in meditation.

Hatonn went on to say in the instinct to conscious awareness of truth, our people have labored for thousands of our years, through many lives, so we have worked to begin to express our knowledge of unity, and the master Jesus came to declare that acceptable truth, and He served as a perfect example, so those truths have become more acceptable to individual souls as the cycle has progressed, for that acceptable year draws nigh and is upon us, and that which we are expressing at this time may be our final expression within this cycle because it is time, as Carla would say, so it is within the awareness of each of us within this group to understand the pressures of the one who desires to pass the test at the end of the school year through studying, caring, and desiring that one’s level of understanding may be acceptable. Now Hatonn said that as we turn to meditation, we turn within to desire to understand that which is true, for many are the philosophies and the religions among our people where the ethical considerations remain constant, for the ethics of that which is acceptable do not seem to be in question, for action is the most expressive form of truth, so Hatonn asked us to meditate and seek that truth, and then go forth to enjoy and allow that which is acceptable to the Creator to flow from us as we have received it in meditation. On April 1, 1990, Q’uo spoke of how we can meditate and seek the truth of change within our deep self:

We offer you discomfort, the discomfort of change, and as you meditate and seek to know your own deep self, seek to deepen your trust, and you shall find yourself more and more uncomfortable as you change more and more. This discomfort is a divine discomfort, an excellent discomfort, an encouraging discomfort, for it means that you are in truth prepared to change. You have allowed your rigidity of belief to melt into the malleable, impressionable thought processes which are powered by the energy gained from dropping the old programs that have been to you in some way destructive.

Perhaps there is a greater question in back of what we speak to you about this evening. Perhaps while you are within the physical illusion you can never be totally sure that it is truly an illusion, and that your real self is completely infinite and has eternal life. It is for reasons such as these that a word known as “faith” was conceived by your people. The word has unfortunate connotations, yet it is not foolish to have faith. There are many things which are not seen, but which you for some reason have inner conviction will come to pass. My friends, they will come to pass whether or not you have inner convictions. But your own personal progress along the lines of seeking will be much more rapid if you allow yourself to trust that intuition that tells you that our words are true. As you allow yourself to have as much faith as you may feel comfortable with, that small amount of faith will express itself to you in reflection in many privately convincing ways so that gradually you will not have to go on faith anymore, for you will have been shown in ways that are clear to you that that which you had faith in is indeed true.

Therefore, my friends, it is not the tool of the fanatic, or one who is mentally deficient, or one who is mentally lazy. Faith is the conscious tool of the intellect used to link your intellect, which is a rather weak tool, with your intuition and your deeper awarenesses, which are very strong tools, but about which you know nothing intellectually. Many have said that there can be no link between the intellect and the intuition, or the heart. But, my friends, this is not so for all people know those things about which one has faith. All people are aware that it is possible to believe in love, in hope, in giving, in healing. All people, even the most materialistic, my friends, are aware of the legitimacy and the worth of these unseen powers. Their faith may be greatly diminished, but the words, concepts, and the possibility of faith are meaningful. Ask yourself what things you have faith in; what things are of worth to you. And allow those things to expand as you bring them into your conscious, intellectual awareness. First, through meditation and then through the actions given to others in joy.

Now Hatonn was speaking of the value of faith in our lives. They began by saying there is a greater question in back of what they speak to us about this evening, so while we are within the physical illusion we can never be sure that it is an illusion, and that our real self is infinite and has eternal life, and it is for reasons such as these that a word “faith” was conceived by our people, but the word has unfortunate connotations, yet it is not foolish to have faith, for there are many things which are not seen, but which we have an inner conviction will come to pass, and they will come to pass whether or not we have inner convictions, but our own progress along the lines of seeking will be more rapid if we allow ourself to trust that intuition that tells us that Hatonn’s words are true, so as we allow ourself to have as much faith as we feel comfortable with, that small amount of faith will express itself to us in reflection in many convincing ways so that gradually we will not have to go on faith anymore, for we will have been shown in ways that are clear to us that which we had faith in is true. Now Hatonn said it is not the tool of the fanatic or one who is mentally lazy, but faith is the conscious tool of the intellect used to link our intellect, which is a weak tool, with our intuition and our deeper awarenesses, which are strong tools, but about which we know nothing intellectually, and many have said that there can be no link between intellect and intuition, or the heart, but this is not so, for all people know those things about which one has faith, and all people are aware that it is possible to believe in Love, in hope, in giving, in healing, and all people are aware of the worth of these unseen powers, for their faith may be diminished, but the possibility of faith is meaningful, so ask ourself what things we have faith in and what things are of worth to us, and allow those things to expand as we bring them into our intellectual awareness through meditation first and then through the actions given to others in joy. On September 10, 2000, Q’uo described what faith is:

The trust of which you speak in relation to faith is not only in one’s feelings but the feeling that despite that which one sees and experiences that one knows that all is well, that one knows that all will be well, that what is occurring at any moment is appropriate and may be learned from in an effective manner which enhances the evolutionary journey. Each entity along this journey will have those times of doubt, of trial, of confusion, of feeling lost, of feeling alone. All of these and many more experiences are those which test one’s character, which offer one kind of lesson or another. There are as many kinds of learning as there are entities to learn. However, in each experience and for each entity, if one can uncover that feeling of faith within and let it be the north star, the Polaris of the self, then one may move without fear and accept whatever is the daily round of activities as they come to one. For an entity that is filled with faith, there is no challenge too great. For any entity without faith, all challenges feel too great. Faith is that which one develops by wishing to develop faith. If one feels faith is lacking in the life pattern, begin to investigate the qualities of faith, the nature of faith, and begin to act as though you have faith, and faith will come to you. Moreover, faith will come through you, for faith is like Love. It is a basic quality of this and all creations. If one can begin to exercise the quality of faith it is much like your physical muscle. It will grow in strength and ability.

We are attempting the transformation of beings through these speeches. We can do so very little, my friends. We can only urge you to meditate; possibly, inspire you through our descriptions of those things of which we have the greatest faith, in which we feel the greatest belief. In our vibration, these are not inspiring words, these are sober truths. In our vibrations, my friends, they must come through the mists of the material illusion. They must be filtered through your words. And all we can hope is that through the magic of your imagination and your desire to seek the truth our words will inspire you to meditate.

As we said many times, we do not know it all. We are not very wise. We have simply been a little farther up what you might call Jacob’s Ladder. And we know that the journey is far, far more beautiful, more rewarding, and more deserving of faith than any possible journey to any possible place in space, in time, or in imagination. The journey for truth, my friends, is a journey for Love, a journey for yourself, for you are truth and Love. We hold out our hands to you on this journey and if at any time you wish our thoughts or the simple strengthening of our vibration, request it mentally, and I will be there. That, my friends, is another thing in which you may have faith.

Then Hatonn said they are attempting the transformation of beings through these speeches, but they can do so little, and they can only urge us to meditate and inspire us through their descriptions of those things in which they have the greatest faith, so in their vibration these are not inspiring words, but these are sober truths, so in our vibrations they must come through the mists of the material illusion, and they must be filtered through our words, so all they can hope is that through the magic of our imagination, and our desire to seek the truth, their words will inspire us to meditate. Hatonn continued by saying they do not know it all, for they are not very wise, but they have gotten farther up Jacob’s Ladder, and they know that the journey is more beautiful and more deserving of faith than any journey to any place in space, in time, or in imagination because the journey for truth is a journey for Love, a journey for ourself, for we are truth and Love, so they hold out their hands to us on this journey, and if at any time we wish their thoughts or the strengthening of their vibration, request it mentally, and they will be there. On September 25, 2010, Q’uo spoke of the spiritual nature of Jacob’s Ladder:

The third distortion is that of Light. And it is only at this point, far down the chain of The Law of One, that manifestation occurs. Manifestation is slow in coming. Much must be accomplished first. Yet you live in a world of manifestations. And thusly, you see, you are always climbing what this instrument would call Jacob’s ladder, only you are climbing it down into the depths of your own heart. And there the Creator lies, beyond all manifestation, beyond all images, beyond all ideas of what is real—ready to heal, ready to nurture, ready to Love.

I would like Laitos to work with you. I will return. I am Hatonn.

I am Laitos. And again, I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. If you will be patient, I would like to work with each of you briefly to offer our contact to you. I would like to condition the one known as G. If she would relax, I would condition her. If she desires, I will speak a sentence or two through her. Please relax and speak up as I give you my thoughts. I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. I am again with this instrument. We have some adjusting to do with this instrument. If the one known as G would be patient, we would like to slightly adjust the tuning. We will again attempt contact. I am a Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. We thank the one known as G for the privilege of working with her. We have a fairly stable contact, and we are greatly appreciative of the opportunity. We would attempt to contact the one known as M1, if he would relax. We would like to say a sentence or two through him if he desires this service.

(M1 channeling)

I am Laitos. I…

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Laitos. We are very, very pleased to make contact with the one known as M. It is an exciting thing for us and for the instrument, and we assure the instrument that it gets easier to maintain contact as one becomes used to the shock of speaking one’s thoughts out loud for it is very different to speak out loud than it is to hear within without having put one’s thoughts into words. We are most pleased. I would now like to condition the one known as T and speak just one or two sentences through him if he would desire this service. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. We are aware of the problem. It is a great shift from the intellectual to the intuitive, as we have been speaking about this evening; to speak thoughts without knowing ahead of time the direction of the thought. Thus, it is almost like, shall we say, a noise in the head which cannot be separated into words at first, and the noise blurs the words. However, if you desire this service and persist in attempting, you will eventually become able to, shall we say, decipher the signal from the noise. The noise is the background of your daily existence for there are many, many small thoughts and constant pressures which are attendant upon living within a chemical body and having the responsibilities and social ties through which your life within this illusion has its dynamics and within which you learn. We are attempting to say that this noise is not in itself evil or to be vanished, for you are here to learn, not to, shall we say, groove, entirely. Or, shall we say, you are here to learn and groove, but not one at the expense of the other. In meditation, this background noise will gradually sift away. And all of the messages will begin to come through a little better, including ours.

We thank you very much for the privilege of working with you. We would like to attempt to condition the one known as M2, the one known as R, the one known as S. If they would relax and make themselves open to our contact, we will attempt to make a better contact with each life vibration. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

I am Laitos. We rejoice that we have been able to be with each of you. It is a good contact tonight. And we are very, very privileged and pleased. I will leave this instrument now and return the meeting to Hatonn. I am Laitos.

I am with the instrument. I am Hatonn. And I greet you again in love and light. Before we close, I would open the meeting to questions. Does anyone have a question?

Questioner: What was the beginning? Hatonn, you talked briefly of our higher self being the sum of the knowledges of the many lives we have lived. Where did it all start? How did it all start?

Hatonn: This information is beyond our understanding. It is our intuitive feeling that the Creator has no beginning and no ending, has no limits of any kind. It is our intuitive understanding that the conscious universe as we know it with its infinity of expressions, vibrations, times, spaces, dimensions, and thoughts was an instantaneous expression of the Creator in a single vibration which in your holy works has been called the Word. The Word, my friends, was Love. There was one original Vibration that expressed Itself out of the infinite, out of the invisible.

Love then formed gradually, step-by-step, all that the individual consciousnesses which were expressed by Love at that time could begin to create. The universe has been peopled more and more by the individual imaginations and thoughts of all of those infinite beings that were created as part of the Love vibration. Each of you, my friends, has dwelled since the beginning of time. Before the beginning of time, there was the Creator. It is our intuitive understanding that after the end of time, when all of the particles of infinite Love have made the journey back to the Creator, there will still be the Creator. There is no beginning and there is no ending, but our universe is Love.

Questioner asked: “What was the beginning? Hatonn, you talked briefly of our higher self being the sum of the knowledges of the many lives we have lived. Where did it all start? How did it all start?” Hatonn said this information is beyond our understanding, but it is our intuitive feeling that the Creator has no beginning and no ending, no limits of any kind, and it is our intuitive understanding that the conscious universe, as we know it, with its infinity of times, spaces, dimensions, and thoughts was an instantaneous expression of the Creator in a single vibration which in our holy works has been called the Word, and the Word was Love, so there was one original Vibration that expressed Itself out of the infinite invisible. Hatonn went on to say Love then gradually formed all that the individual consciousnesses which were expressed by Love at that time could begin to create, so the universe has been peopled by individual imaginations and thoughts of all of those infinite beings that were created as part of the Love vibration, and each of us has dwelled since the beginning of time, so before the beginning of time there was the Creator, and it is our intuitive understanding that after the end of time, when all of the particles of infinite Love have made the journey back to the Creator, there will still be the Creator, for there is no beginning, and there is no ending, but our universe is Love. On November 10, 1996, Q’uo spoke of how we make the journey back to the Creator:

There is, in the manifested world, that duality which enables each of us to wend our way back to the Creator, for we did not come from the Light or darkness if we speak of true origin. Rather we are, with no past and no future. Before all created things that which each of us at our base is. Each of you, each of us, is consciousness itself. And within the purview of those interior rooms lies all that there ever was and all that ever shall be.

How else could each of us be one with all but that we are all holographs of each other? We speak here of mysteries that we do not know the answer to. But we have, indeed, found a tremendous strength in coming to know, to love, and to discipline all portions of self, be they considered Light or dark.

Does this answer your question?

Questioner: [Inaudible]

Hatonn: If there are no further questions, we will attempt to bless each of you and thank you for the great privilege of having contact with your unique and precious life vibration. Each of you is a totally unique and precious child of the Creator. Wherever you are on your journey, my friends, we are all with you. We are all your brothers and sisters. I leave you in the love and light. That is all that there is. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning Karma and I took Margaret a bouquet of Roses and Sunflowers. We answered Margaret’s questions now and then about what day it was, getting her some pain medication, and what we were doing today. We hung out with her while she was watching Family Feud on television and occasionally taking a nap. When I was time for Margaret to have lunch, we decided to go out for lunch at our third restaurant.

This afternoon we went back to spend some time with Margaret and discovered that she hadn’t eaten her lunch. So, Karma was able to get Margaret to eat some crackers, but it looks like Margaret is less and less interested in eating. Hopefully, she will begin eating again as she has in the past.

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

August 9

You Are The New Jerusalem

I am of the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, the consciousness of divine Love which lives within the world today and which pours through the clouds of mundane sin and sorrow like sunshine awaiting the grateful eye.

Do you not know that you are the city upon the hill, that you are the new Jerusalem, and that in every cell of your body you may find, recognize and celebrate the renewing and recreative energy of the Spirit of the living Christ? You may say, “Jesus,” and mean it not, yet the vibration shall come to you.

You may say, “Come, Holy Spirit,” and doubt greatly, yet eventually that energy shall come to you. Know each member, each thought, each cell of the wholeness of your body, the twelve upon twelve upon twelve which one hundred forty-four thousand represents.

Allow, await, and expect the power and the peace of the Love of Jesus Christ and the new Jerusalem shall shine through you. And the city upon the hill be a beacon of Light.

We leave you in joy and peace, both this day and evermore. 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.
