I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Oxal and Latwii channelings for this session come from August 12, 1984:

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal. I greet you in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We gratefully acknowledge our opportunity to work with the one known as S. Ours is not an easy contact, and we were attempting to practice with this instrument. We thank the one known as S for her cooperation, and will now speak for a few of your moments through this instrument. We thank each of you for calling us this evening. We are those who are more involved in the questions of the mind than the heart. We may suggest to each that our being called does not mean that each here has learned the lessons of the heart. It means only that there is a great call for wisdom, for clarity, and freedom from illusion.

It is perceived among your people that the heart cannot give freedom from pain, that the heart cannot see clearly, and that the heart is useful only as a means of generating experience, much of which is painful. This perception of your illusion may well be true. That is for each of you to say. For what is the heart? We with our wisdom gaze at compassion and realize that that balance between compassion and wisdom shall be our next lesson. But let us for a moment assume that there is in many of your people an excess of compassion which causes pain and then a desire to seek. Very well, my friends, the pain has its first meaning, for seeking is the activity of the deity. It is in some ways the definition of the Creator, the sign of the creation. A tree may appear to be rooted and still, yet does not each leaf seek the Light? So, you feel that love is so weak a tool that you must instead seek wisdom.

We shall share that which we feel to be correct with you, admonishing you that our opinions are fallible; therefore, take from our statements those things which are helpful and toss away the rest, for are we not all one, and is this knowledge not inside you that you seek now? Is this peace that you seek not also within you? Do you think perhaps that you are like a mountain—at the bottom there are verdant fields of Love, at the top, the peak places of wisdom. We say to you, your perceptions of wisdom will be greatly skewed until you learn the lessons of Love, and, therefore, we of Oxal wish to speak to you of Love from the standpoint of wisdom.

In this session Oxal spoke about the balance between Love and wisdom. They began by saying it is perceived among your people that the heart cannot give freedom from pain, that the heart cannot see clearly, and that the heart is useful only as a means of generating experience, much of which is painful, and this perception of your illusion may be true, so that is for each of you to say, for with our wisdom we gaze at compassion and realize that that balance between compassion and wisdom shall be our next lesson, but let us assume that there is in many of your people an excess of compassion which causes pain and then a desire to seek, for the pain has its first meaning since seeking is the activity of the deity, so it is in some ways the definition of the Creator, the sign of the creation, for a tree may appear to be rooted, yet each leaf seeks the Light, so you feel that Love is so weak a tool that you must seek wisdom. Oxal went on to say we shall share that which we feel to be correct with you, reminding you that our opinions are fallible, so take from our statements those things which are helpful and toss away the rest, for we are all one, and this knowledge that you seek is inside you as is this peace that you seek, and you think that you are like a mountain, and at the bottom there are fields of Love, and at the top are the peak places of wisdom, but we say your perceptions of wisdom will be skewed until you learn the lessons of Love, so we of Oxal wish to speak to you of Love from the standpoint of wisdom. On June 26, 1982, Latwii describe our lessons of Love:

The lessons of your density are the lessons of Love. When enough of your people learn to Love one another, then the entire creation sings and resounds with that harmony, and each atom rejoices and seeks to join more fully with each part of creation. Therefore, by whatever means is available to the entity, each entity might, therefore, send the Love and Light to the one creation in which your planet resides, to your planet itself, to each entity upon its surface, indeed into the self, and thereby assure the unification of all that is.

Let us look at perfect compassion. Let us look at a perfectly smoothly running, perfectly timed universe. Perfect compassion, which we call Love, for want of a better word, is power. It is power that has been so disciplined, guided, and considered that all things work together in harmony. That which powers the universe is not understood. That which powers the universe is Love. Wisdom is the vibration which Love uses. It is the material the artist uses to create experience for those who are conscious. Therefore, as you wish to learn the one original Thought, so you wish to learn all that there is. Wisdom is the refining of Love into its shapes, designs, its nuances, and its shadows. There is, shall we say, a ship with its sails furled upon a great sea. It may seem that you who are on the ship are victims of the wind and the waves, and your lack of knowledge of navigation and astrogation. However, there is within each of you an innate guide, a rudder, shall we say, that steers you if you will let it. That which steers you is not a wisdom but an association with Love, that Love which is the original Thought of the one Creator. Your voyage may seem endless, perilous, difficult, pointless, and confusing. This, my friends, is the voyage of one who has not yet picked up that association which forms the rudder of experience.

[Pause]

We apologize for the delay. We are feeding this instrument concepts that it is having difficulty enunciating. This in itself is an example of how the wisdom baffles the working of the deeper part. This instrument’s intellect does not see any association between the next concept and the previous one. Therefore, the instrument questions the concept, and we must pause in order to tune this instrument as we are talking and regain the line of our poor speech.

There is a call in this group this evening that stems from a very deep place, that place before time was or space. It is the call of the soul or spirit to the conscious self. We may take the voyager through space and through time, but it is that which is beyond space and time which will yield the simplicity, the peace, and the power which is sought. The fruit is single. We are all Love and we all distort that Love. We are each unique, and yet we are each perfect, both as we are and perfect in the literal sense of being, in part, beyond space and beyond time, a part of the Creator. That is why you already know each answer you seek. If we inspire you, it is but a remembering. And yet, that which you need to remember is buried, and therefore, in meditation, you sit and wait.

Oxal went on to say let us look at perfect compassion in a smoothly running, perfectly timed universe, for Love is power, and it is power that has been disciplined so that all things work together in harmony, but that which powers the universe is not understood, and that is Love, and wisdom is the vibration which Love uses, for it is the material the artist uses to create experience for those who are conscious, so as you wish to learn the one original Thought, you wish to learn all that there is, yet wisdom is the refining of Love into its shapes and its shadows, so there is a ship with its sails furled upon a great sea, and it may seem that you who are on the ship are victims of the wind and the waves, and your lack knowledge of navigation, but there is within each of you a guide that steers you if you will let it, but that which steers you is not wisdom but an association with Love which is the original Thought of the one Creator, so your voyage may seem endless and confusing, yet this is the voyage of one who has not yet picked up that association which forms the rudder of experience. Now Oxal said there is a call in this group that stems from a deep place that was before time was, and it is the call of the soul to the conscious self, so we may take the voyager through space and time, but it is that which is beyond space and time which will yield the peace and the power which is sought, but the fruit is single, for we are all Love, and we all distort that Love, and we are each unique, yet we are each perfect, both as we are and perfect in the literal sense of being beyond space and time, a part of the Creator, so that is why you know each answer you seek, for if we inspire you, it is but a remembering, yet that which you need to remember is buried, so in meditation you sit and wait. On September 4, 2010, Carla said that we are all part of the Creator:

So back to free will. What an incredible thing to know that we are all part of the Creator! We’ve all been sent out to gather intelligence; to see what we feel; to choose what to desire, to gather experiences and then to offer the whole incarnation back to the Creator as His food, or, as Ra would say, It’s food.

Those who seek, learn the meaning of the word patience. You seek the same thing over and over again. You seek to find the truth, the Love, the power within your daily experience which may well seem false, disturbing, and powerful only in its ability to cause pain. So many of your people, my friends, live in a narrow world, bounded by that which is seen, and heard, and felt. This group seeks that which is beyond the boundaries of the prison which is called your lifetime. Yet, my friends, we say prison, for you are indeed behind the bars of an illusion, the illusion that you were born in, and you will die in, and you will be no more. Within that illusion there are few good reasons for having faith, for behaving ideally, or for holding ideals. Yet the instinct of those who seek has put them in touch with the awareness that the true self, and, indeed, the majority of the self is outside the prison already.

You have put yourself in this situation and you have within you that which may remove you from the prison. We do not speak of death, although that certainly will remove the bars. We speak of your own ability to seek. What shall you seek? Observe yourself in any situation and let that observer within you ask, “What do you seek?” Do you seek love? Do you seek to become a messenger of love? Or do you perhaps seek that which may be well within the bounds of those who are still asleep and do not even know they are in prison? There are many apparent powers—money, position, relationships, the feeling of being in an appropriate place, and yet what is the true power? Look at each of those subjects and you shall see those things that change are not true but temporal. You seek peace, and within this world those same things that give you power are said to offer peace, and yet, do they? Ask yourself if any peace of a lasting and infinite nature occurs within the bounds of the temporal world.

Oxal went on to say those who seek learn the meaning patience, for you seek the same thing over and over again, so you seek to find the truth, Love, and power within your daily experience which may seem false and disturbing in its ability to cause pain, and so many of your people live in a narrow world, bounded by that which is seen, heard, and felt, but this group seeks that which is beyond the boundaries of the prison which is called your lifetime, yet we say prison, for you are behind the bars of the illusion that you were born in, and you will die in, so within that illusion there are few good reasons for having faith or for holding ideals, yet the instinct of those who seek has put them in touch with the awareness that the true self, and the majority of the self is outside the prison already. Oxal went on to say you have put yourself in this situation, and you have within you that which may remove you from the prison, but we do not speak of death, for we speak of your ability to seek, so observe yourself in any situation and let that observer within you ask: “What do you seek?” Do you seek love? Do you seek to become a messenger of love? Or do you perhaps seek that which may be well within the bounds of those who are still asleep and do not even know they are in prison? There are many apparent powers—money, position, relationships, the feeling of being in an appropriate place, and yet what is the true power?” Now Oxal said look at each of those subjects, and you shall see those things that change are not true but worldly, for you seek peace, and within this world those same things that give you power are said to offer peace, so ask yourself if any peace of a lasting and infinite nature occurs within the bounds of the worldly experience. On May 10, 1981, Hatonn spoke of the value of our seeking peace:

If you seek peace, know this: it is truly worth that which is paid for, and yet it may sometime seem like loss. Rest, then in your meditation, in the true peace of Love, and as you find your understanding causing you to act in such a way as to cause those about you to observe a difference in your actions, understand that those who radiate Love may also be counted as fools.

We have spoken also this evening of service. A great part of the peace that is true peace is service to others. Moment by moment you have unending opportunities to view your situations as opportunities to be of service, to sow a seed of calm, of Love, of kindness. Again, many times you may be countered as a fool, but my friends, it is the fools of this world who shall be in salvation. Only a fool can Love without judging. Only a foolish person can desire to serve those who are unlovable and can pray for those who are unattractive and cold in their misery.

Be fools, then. And join a joyful host of such fools, for those who Love will always be such. It is to be remembered that those ways of judging among your people are greatly various. It is to be remembered that it is impossible to judge, but through the grace of the inner Light and Love available to you, it is possible, indeed, to Love.

We shall say to you once again there is peace; there is power. Those things are to be sought carefully. You are those who Love. You do not Love in perfection as your conversation noted previously, and yet you attempt. In each attempt, is power and peace. The power of Love is unmistakable, healing, and radiant. Those who live in light manifest it. People are attracted to them and enjoy their company. It is not they, but the love channeled through them which is attractive. There is peace in loving that cannot be found by buying and selling, giving and taking. In bargaining there is no peace. In loving, alone, is there peace. If you love yourself completely you are at peace. If you wish to serve others in Love completely, you are at peace. Between these two points, in one degree or another, you shall not be at peace.

Therefore, we urge you at least once in your day to say to yourself, “Ah, the bars of my cage shall not hold me well, for I shall sit beyond space and time, and I shall seek Love; I shall seek the truth; and I shall do it in silence.” For there is, indeed, as one your holy works as said, a still, small voice that enables seeking to continue and flourish within you. We are those who learn the lessons of wisdom, and we see you as those tossed by the Creator which is yourself into the depths of your prisons, or to move back to our other analogy, those lost upon an endless sea. The point is that you are kept, somehow, apparently, from your freedom. In our seeking towards wisdom we see your people as those who now have the opportunity to face once again towards the same Creator that has flung you upon the water and cast you into prison. In meditation you may break forth from prison in contemplation and inspiration, in dreams, in converse with others who are seeking; you will find those things, those coincidences, those sentences which strike you, which tell you where to move your rudder, in which direction to go.

Oxal continued by saying there is peace and power, and they are to be sought carefully, for you are those who Love, but you do not Love in perfection, and yet you attempt to, and in each attempt is power and peace, yet the power of Love is unmistakable, healing, and radiant, for those who live in Light manifest it, so people are attracted to them and enjoy their company, but it is not they but the Love channeled through them which is attractive, and there is peace in loving that cannot be found by buying and selling, for in bargaining there is no peace, so only in loving is there peace, but if you Love yourself completely you are at peace, and if you wish to serve others in Love, you are at peace, so between these two points you shall not be at peace. Now Oxal said we urge you once in your day to say to yourself, “Ah, the bars of my cage shall not hold me well, for I shall sit beyond space and time, and I shall seek Love; I shall seek the truth, and I shall do it in silence,” for there is a still, small voice that enables seeking to flourish within you, so we are those who learn the lessons of wisdom, and we see you as those tossed by the Creator which is yourself into the depths of your prisons, or those lost upon an endless sea, so the point is that you are kept from your freedom, and in our seeking towards wisdom we see your people as those who have the opportunity to face the same Creator that has flung you upon the water and cast you into prison, but in meditation you may break forth from prison, and in converse with others who are seeking you will find those coincidences which strike you, which tell you in which direction to go. On September 28, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the value of meditation to seek direction from that still, small voice within us:

This is the central question of this meeting, for it has been asked of us when and how to know that still, small voice, and it is this voice that we could suggest that one listen to in order to know those times when it is appropriate to jump and those times when it is appropriate to wait. Thus, in all situations in which there is doubt it is our recommendation that one practice meditation. Meditate upon the action or inaction, for as long as it is necessary for you to hear that voice and to feel that impulse in one direction or the other. As we stated previously, it may happen in a moment. It may take a great deal of time, and while this process is going on again, we counsel faith that the process itself, and the action itself, and the entire incarnation will unfold as each should, for this is not a universe in which chance plays a significant part. It may seem so for many, but in the overall scheme if one could look with far-seeing eyes outside the incarnation one would see that there is the hand of the Creator in each event. That, indeed, not even a small sparrow falls to the ground without the knowledge of the Creator. Thus meditate, my sister. Meditate, and have faith, and go forth confidently.

That is the rhythm of each density. You are flung, out and you learn to return. It is you, yourself, who has placed you, each of you, as you are now, experiencing what you are now, dealing with what you are dealing with at this point. Turn then, to meditation and find out why. Climb the mountain slowly, slowly, my friends and see each step clearly. What you are doing at this point, what you are thinking, how you are seeking, how you are feeling; these are your tools. These are tools that can give you beauty beyond measure, that can make you rejoice, even, perhaps, as you weep. Before your footsteps lie the mountain, but you must climb it one step at a time, one day at a time, one moment at a time.

We rejoice now with you as we experience the vibration of this group and share our Love with you. We are very blessed to be able to speak this evening, to listen through the ears of this instrument to the cicadas and the murmur of your [inaudible]. Such beauty, my friends, in a single moment; it is almost too much to believe for us, for we do not experience your illusion. We seek a different kind of beauty and must learn to become aware differently. The beauty about you now, the beauty within you now, the power, the peace and the Love within you now is very striking to us, and we give thanks that we are able to join you.

Now Oxal said that is the rhythm of each density when you are flung out, and you learn to return, and it is you who has placed each of you, as you are experiencing what you are now, dealing with what you are dealing with at this point, so turn to meditation and find out why, but climb the mountain slowly, and see each step clearly, for what you are doing, thinking, seeking, and how you are feeling are your tools, and these are tools that can give you beauty beyond measure, that can make you rejoice, even as you weep, so before your footsteps lie the mountain, but you must climb it one step at a time. Oxal continued by saying we rejoice with you as we experience the vibration of this group and share our Love with you, for we are blessed to be able to speak this evening, to listen through the ears of Carla to the cicadas, and there is so much beauty in a single moment that is almost too much to believe for us since  we do not experience your illusion, for we seek a different kind of beauty and must learn to become aware differently, and the beauty about you now, the beauty within you now, the power, the peace and the Love within you now is very striking to us, and we give thanks that we are able to join you. On November 14, 1982, Hatonn spoke of the nature of Love within us:

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

We would leave you now, having spoken far too long, we fear. We leave you in all that there is, Love and Light, the Love and the light of the One Who is All. I am known to you as Oxal. I leave this instrument. Adonai.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are most privileged to once again join your group for the purpose of attempting to answer those queries which may be of aid in your seeking. We thank each for so inviting our presence. And we remind each that our humble words are but fallible opinions which we offer in hopes that they might be of some small service to you. May we then begin with the first query?

S: Yes, Latwii, I have a question from R, who will read your answer. He wanted to know if you could make any comment or give information about the faces he’s been seeing in his meditations. They’re all different, and they change; it’s not like he’s seeing the same faces over and over again. But he wanted your comment.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that we are once again relegated to the role of speaking in general terms in order that the free will of the one known as R might be preserved as he continues his journey of seeking. Each entity shall find within the meditative state certain experiences that are of significance upon the journey of seeking the truth, as you call it. These particular visions or faces which the one known as R has been experiencing are those portions of a larger process which is underway, shall we say, within this entity. One may look at each experience within your illusion as a symbol of that which is a deeper truth. This is also true within that state which you call meditation, though this state is capable of producing experiences of a greater clarity, shall we say, than your normal waking state. These images might be fruitfully used, we suggest, by the one known as R if they are looked at for a symbolic value, for a certain resonance which each contains. This resonance then may be placed by the entity with certain life experiences or lessons which are seeking expression at this time within this entity.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Well, since I’m not really sure, I guess I’ll just go with what you’ve given me because it sounds like it’ll be very helpful to him. I did have another question, though, on a different subject. About a month ago, R and I were almost on a daily basis having minor aches and pains back and forth and back and forth to the point where it became comical. We were making jokes about it and I would say, “Is your knee getting better now, because mine’s beginning to hurt?” I would like to know if you could give me any information about the possibilities of us maybe subconsciously attempting to heal each other or if there’s another explanation?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, to speak in general terms, we may suggest that it has been well said that those who together seek shall far more surely find. It has been your experience which you have shared with the one known as R to intensively seek …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii and am once again with this instrument. To continue our response. You may look at these experiences, as we have suggested before, for their symbolic value. As you proceed in your seeking together you shall find that the catalyst which you use is catalyst which you share. Those aches and pains, as you have called them, are indeed offering opportunities for the healing, as you have suggested. This is the purpose of all catalyst and experience, to speak generally. All distortions, all that is not whole, may be made whole and clear by the successful use of catalyst. Those experiences which you have shared of the physical discomfort are symbolic, and reach deeper into your shared experience and are representative of certain lessons which you share together upon levels other than the physical.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Well, if the aches and pains go away, does that mean that we have been successful in using the catalyst?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In general, we would suggest that this assumption is correct. The catalyst which has not been well used in the mind is then given to the body that it might be noticed more fully and more fully utilized. This is not to say that should such physical representation of the catalyst disappear that the catalyst has been completely used, but is to say that it has been used to the point of clarity so that further symbolic manifestation in the physical body is not necessary.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Well, yes. You could clarify one more thing for me. Are you saying then that because we as a couple have spent a lot of time together there are some lessons that we chose to learn together, and that if both of us are not successful at any particular time … wait, that’s not what I mean. Okay, first of all, is what I’ve just said correct, and second of all, do we then have to work on the catalyst as a unit rather than as individuals?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To speak to the first portion of your query, it is basically correct that you have chosen to learn certain lessons together, and that you have, as you progressed through your learning process, come not only to see each as a mirror for the other but have come to see the self in the other.

To speak to the second portion of your query, it is a most efficient means of learning for an entity to learn with another in order that this mirroring effect might be utilized to accelerate the learning process. It is quite possible to learn as a solitary being, but without the mirrors of other selves to show the self the intricacies of the self, the self then is more likely to miss the refining ability that mirrors provide.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, that’s been very illuminating. Thank you.

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

Carla: I’d like to follow up on S’s [inaudible]. It seemed to me that you were intimating, but not saying, that this couple, like many couples, have been not just through this incarnation together but through others and that that way … my question is, then, is the previous experience with each other necessary before you get to the point to where you are really working together, and what’s catalyst for one becomes catalyst for the other, and they’re sympathetic and so forth?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We can suggest that your assumption is in a great portion correct, for those entities which have had experience as the mated pair before this incarnation shall find that there is a great reservoir or resource which may be called upon by the deeper portions of the entity as the incarnation proceeds and as the mated relationship attempts to refine the process of evolution.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, just one final thing. In observing certain couples, I cannot see any karmic bonds. These are the couples that seem to be doing the best work together. Certainly R and S strike me as one such. Is the karma free … I guess what I’m really trying to ask is, is there a portion of the third density where mated pairs that have worked through the karma and have become free from karma as we understand it, then come back in order to become what some people have called masters or to find true balance, in other words, is a karma-less state a prerequisite for this particular lesson, that is, working as a couple?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We may suggest that that state which you have described as karma-free might be more clearly described as balanced karma. That is to say that entities of the mated relationship nature which have chosen to once again incarnate as mated pair are much more able to provide the services and learn the lessons chosen before the incarnation when the karma is what we would call balanced, rather than being out of balance so that one entity would need to assume a role that is more distorted from, shall we say, equality than the other in order that certain lessons left incomplete from previous incarnations might be balanced in the current incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Was that an affirmative answer? I get lost in your answers sometimes. Did you basically say, “Yeah”?

I am Latwii, and we beg your forgiveness for being somewhat abstruse from time to time. Yet, as we use this instrument’s mind, we find that there are certain concepts that, though helpful, do have certain tendrils of abstractness about them. We have attempted to suggest that your basic assumption was correct, yet we wished to make hopefully clearer the situation of entities that are utilizing the mated relationship efficiently, that is, their karma has been balanced rather than removed. To remove karma is to remove experience, and it is to remove a great reservoir or resource that is a great aid in the incarnation.

We might further suggest that as entities have gained experience as mated pairs in previous incarnations, and have balanced their karma, then the portion of the next incarnation devoted to the personal lessons grows smaller, and the portion devoted to providing services for others grows larger.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thanks.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that we have for the moment exhausted the queries, and we are most appreciative for the opportunity to be of whatever service is possible by our humble words. We apologize for seeming to be without our normal humor and for seeming so formal in our replies. We are hopeful that as we continue to utilize this instrument that it shall be able to widen its own perceptive abilities and allow that which is of a lighter nature in our own being to shine through in our responses, for it is a great joy and a pleasure for our group to be able to make contact with your own, and we wish to give this joyful feeling expression whenever possible. We are those of Latwii, and we shall now leave this group and instrument, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light of the One within all. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from Joel Goldsmith’s The Thunder of Silence is: “The only real strength there is, is in conscious union with God and in a realization of the true nature of spiritual power. When we have that realization, one with God becomes a majority. One individual having the spiritual understanding of the nature of God becomes a law of harmony, health, and supply unto thousands and thousands of people all over the world. That is where the strength is—in union with God.

For centuries, country after country has been seeking its freedom. Many a country has temporarily found what it thought was freedom only to find itself enslaved later on by something more powerful than that from which it had broken free.

It is not possible to get free from anything This is a hard saying, bitter in the mouth and even more bitter in the belly. There are thousands of people trying to free themselves from husbands or wives, thinking that when that particular freedom is gained their lot is going to be a better one. Sometimes it is, temporarily; but even if it is, it is only a human solution, not permanent and real, because no one ever gets free. To become free from one thing is to become attached to another thing. There is no freedom from anything. The only complete freedom is a freedom in Christ.

To leave one religious organization to join another is to find freedom from one only to become involved in another. That is not freedom. Nor can a person find spiritual freedom by leaving one country for another, even though they may improve their material lot as has been demonstrated by the millions of immigrants to the North American continent who have improved their physical well-being. The mere change of locale, however, does not necessarily mean peace, happiness, safety, or security because not one of these can be found in flags, countries, or continents—they cannot even be found in health or wealth, but only in the realization of God, which brings a release from fear of what people can do, or from circumstances or conditions. Harmony is found, not by exchanging one condition of bondage for another, but by coming out from under the law and living under that Grace which is the gift of God. For a while, unfortunately, there remain the thousand on our left and the ten thousand on our right who will not accept the grace of God and who brought forth from the Master His sorrowful, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem . . . how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!“ This is the one remaining sorrow after we have attained our own freedom, this sorrow of looking at our parents, children, sisters, or brothers, our husband or wife, our fellow countrymen, and thinking, “Why can’t you accept this thing that I have found?” But the longer we are on this path the easier it will be for us to understand that it is not possible for anyone to embrace truth except in proportion to their readiness for it.”

Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop being at The Home Depot where I bought some more netting. My second stop was at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought a pair of gardening gloves. My third stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought more bird seed. My fourth stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some food for myself. My fifth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some more food for myself. My sixth stop was at Speedway Gas where I filled all of Stanley’s tires with 32 psi air, and I filled his tank with premium gasoline.  My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription and bought some Tylenol, some Haggen Dasz ice cream, and some napkins.

This afternoon I weeded the Day Lily patch along the south side of the garage, and I filled a five-gallon bucket with the weeds. Then I put the bucket at the end of the driveway.

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

March 23

Look Again

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

Divinity may seem to have no part in your experience as you awaken to yet another day of traffic, work, chores to do and lists to be made and scratched out. Yet it is the prayer of the Spirit of the living Christ that divinity may be at all times in utterly close proximity to each spirit, however concerned with the mundane, however overwhelmed with the everyday chores of a busy life.

You will find the Spirit between the motes of dust, within the glimmer of moisture upon a cobweb, rounding like fog at the corners of the heart.

Our prayer is our presence. Do not turn from dust and chores and dailiness to seek the living waters of spiritual food but, rather, gaze at them more closely, for there is no day so busy nor prison so closely bound that the Spirit is not within each task and each bar.

We would rescue that state of mind, which does not relish earthly things yet sees none other, from inward blindness by saying, “Look again.” For shall not divine Love penetrate and, with your desire, have strength to transform each and every action which you may take this day?

We leave you in that striving which is the peace of Christ, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from August 5, 1984:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are most grateful to be able to speak with this group this evening and greet with great joy the one known as S. How beautiful is the desire of each heart that seeks a dwelling place in the metaphysical sense. And what beauty within beauty shall that seeking unfold. We greet you in Love. At times we feel perhaps we should make more effort to point out the reason for our greeting you and our leaving you in Love and in Light. We do this because of our opinion that this greeting expresses as well as words can all that there is either knowable or numenal within our experience. “The Love of the one infinite Creator” is, indeed, a practice in redundancy of phrase, for Love is the one infinite Creator having been called from the deeps of the universe’s infinite rhythm that this creation and all others may be born, coalesce, experience, be flung outward and ultimately recoalesce within the great heart that beats beyond all telling.

That which you know of and think of as the Creator is already one step from the Creator. And yet this is all that we shall be able to tell you of the Creator, that the Creator is one Thought, one powerful, fiery, and creative Thought which we call Love. This Love then acts in infinite variety upon that material which is called Light in order to make all the vibrations and rotations which cause the illusion in which you now exist and all other illusions including the one in which we now enjoy experience. What else could we find as words of greeting? The Maker and the material, these are the elements of our greeting, for these are all that there is besides the free will that has caused each of your consciousnesses to be as they are. Whatever your consciousness, whatever your state of mind, whatever your emotions or your spiritual path, your Creator is Love and the material of which you are made is Light. The vibrations are yours to choose through the act of free will.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about the Love of the Creator. They began by saying at times we feel we should make more effort to point out the reason for our greeting you and our leaving you in Love and in Light, and we do this because of our opinion that this greeting expresses as well as words can all that there is knowable within our experience, so “The Love of the one infinite Creator” is a practice in redundancy of phrase, for Love is the one infinite Creator having been called from the deeps of the universe’s infinite rhythm that this creation and all others may be born, coalesce, experience, be flung outward and ultimately recoalesce within the great heart that beats beyond all telling. Hatonn went on to say that which you think of as the Creator is one step from the Creator, yet this is all that we shall be able to tell you of the Creator, that the Creator is one powerful and creative Thought which we call Love, and this Love acts in an infinite variety of Light in order to make all the vibrations and rotations which cause the illusion in which you now exist, and all other illusions, including the one in which we experience, so the Maker and the material are the elements of our greeting, for these are all that there is besides the free will that has caused each of your consciousnesses to be as they are, yet whatever your consciousness, your emotions, or your spiritual path, your Creator is Love, and the material of which you are made is Light, so the vibrations are yours to choose through the act of free will. On October 11, 1987, Latwii spoke of how our Creator is Love:

If your heart and mind resound with an echo of recognition when we say that your Creator is Love, then you shall see why we ask that the key word of trust offers much to one whose illusory or Earth life is being experienced as tragic, sorrowful, difficult or upsetting. Equally, we would say that all are successful in some way, for you see, the experiences of an incarnation are ever up and down, ever positive and negative. The clue is given in the lack of consistency of either state of mind within what is called the human condition. When one is content, one does not agonize over one’s proper point of view, one’s appropriate relation towards the Creator. It is the sorrows and the difficulties which bring mind and heart to a state of attention, to a state of questioning, and we hope that this is persistent and determined, for there is a good outcome, that is to say, a satisfying and positive outcome to such a search. The obvious and only reaction to Love is Love.

We wish to speak through this instrument this evening in such a way that this instrument has no idea of what is coming next. We are continuing to develop this instrument in order that it may be more sensitive to the content of our thoughts once it is assured that we are able to pass the challenge of the tuning which this instrument calls Christ and which others may call Christ consciousness or white Light. As always, we encourage each in all cases when the vibration is felt to challenge the entity and to bid goodbye with blessing and Love to any about which it feels even doubtful. For those who are of the positive path are those of Christ consciousness as you know it. For Christ consciousness is Love, and the teacher you know as Jesus was a perfect example of that Love. And the incarnation and teachings of this teacher constitute a body which when studied will yield some awareness of the nature of the penetration of the illusion and the understanding of freedom.

Then Hatonn said we wish to speak through this instrument this evening in such a way that this instrument has no idea of what is coming next, for we are continuing to develop Carla in order that she may be more sensitive to the content of our thoughts once it is assured that we are able to pass the challenge of the tuning which she calls Christ, and which others may call Christ consciousness or white Light, but we encourage each in all cases when the vibration is felt to challenge the entity and to bid goodbye with blessing and Love to any about which it feels even doubtful, for those who are of the positive path are those of Christ consciousness and Christ consciousness is Love, and Jesus was a perfect example of that Love, so the incarnation and teachings of this teacher constitute a body which when studied will yield some awareness of the nature of the penetration of the illusion and the understanding of freedom. On July 28, 1985, Latwii spoke of the nature of Christ consciousness:

As the vibratory frequency becomes more filled with Light, shall we say, or the energy of creation, to put it another way, the ability of an entity within such a vibratory frequency to experience the Christ consciousness is enhanced and, therefore, suffers less distortion. In some fashion, any entity achieving this Christ consciousness will have experienced unity with the one Creator and will be thus enspirited and inspired to be of further service to those about it, for each is seen as a portion of the one Creator to know that it is indeed Loved and Love itself. One who knows this facet of the one Creator, that is, Love, then seeks to share that experience and power with those who call for it. Within your illusion, the lessons which all pursue in a unique fashion focus on the concept of Love.

We would speak to you now about one who went about hungry for many things. Let us call this entity a woman and let us place this entity in a city. This young woman is hungry for those things which life may teach her, for those foods which life may give to her. And over and over again she pursues one path and then another, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. She looks to the sea, to the sky, to all the pleasures that can be bought with money and the sensations that can be experienced because of the great generosity of your creation. This woman becomes older and chooses to herself a true love. She experiences the pain and the joy of loving another and in time the even more painful and joyful experience of children.

In each pleasure, she reflects to herself in her old age, she has seen pain. If the sky was lovely, soon it would rain, if the earth bore her footprints lightly, soon she would get a blister. All that she loved caused more pain and joy and at the end of her life she was still hungry for experiences, experiences which she felt instinctively were hers. Many people there are that come to illness, older years, and even the deathbed knowing nothing but dissatisfaction and hunger. And yet they do not know that for which they hunger nor can they. For they have been separated by a belief in outer pleasure. What we wish to share with you this evening, my friends, in part is that there is no separation between this woman and Love, nor is there separation between anyone and that same Love. It is not easy to find unity with mankind when mankind is so dissatisfactory. And yet it is this mankind, person by person, which wears your face, and which thinks your thoughts, and seeks with your hunger.

Now Hatonn spoke about a woman that hungered for many things. Hatonn began by saying we would speak to you about one who went about hungry for many things, so let us call this entity a woman, and let us place this entity in a city, for this young woman is hungry for those things which life may teach her, for those foods which life may give to her, and over and over again she pursues one path and then another, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and she looks to the sea, to the sky, to all the pleasures that can be bought with money and the sensations that can be experienced because of the generosity of your creation, but this woman becomes older and chooses for herself a true love, so she experiences the pain and the joy of loving another and in time the even more painful and joyful experience of children. Then Hatonn said in each pleasure she reflects to herself in her old age, for she has seen pain, and if the sky was lovely, soon it would rain, and if the earth bore her footprints lightly, soon she would get a blister, yet all that she loved caused more pain and joy, and at the end of her life she was still hungry for experiences which she felt were hers, and many people there are that come to illness, older years, and even the deathbed knowing nothing but dissatisfaction and hunger, yet they do not know that for which they hunger nor can they, for they have been separated by a belief in outer pleasure, so what we wish to share with you this evening is that there is no separation between this woman and Love, nor is there separation between anyone and that same Love, but it is not easy to find unity with mankind when mankind is so dissatisfactory, and it is mankind, person by person, which wears your face, and which thinks your thoughts, and seeks with your hunger. On September 16, 2001, Q’uo described the difficulty in finding unity:

This is the great geste, my friend: to see Love where there is little reason to see it, to find unity where separation seems the only logical path, to see a brother or a sister instead of an enemy. It is not easy, my friends. But you did not incarnate with an easy plan for learning and for service. For this is the culmination of your planet’s great Master Cycle of third-density evolution. It is at this time that those great swings of power over people can be balanced by Love for people.

The teacher known to you as Jesus offered peace. But immediately following this offering He said very clearly, “This peace is not what the world thinks of as peace.” He spoke of a journey and one of those whom He taught said,“ We do not understand what journey upon which you go.“ To which the teacher replied, “Each of us is the journey. The journey is not outside yourself. You do not seek for something as if you were grabbing at the ring at a carnival ride. You are seeking within yourself, and this then will bring you peace.” We would say to you, my friends, that it is a kind of peace that the world often finds suspect and sometimes even dangerous. The smile of joy in the face of apparent trouble seems not a victory, but an inappropriate reaction. The heart and the courage to lift oneself up in the face of a daunting situation seems to a dark world the action of a fool or at least one who is not paying sufficient attention.

My friends, have you ever wondered why in various holy works high places are considered holy? You must know that all things are holographs for all other structures. The structure of yourselves, the structure of the Earth, the structure of the Universe—study one, you begin to understand the others. Yes, the high mountainous, the peak is holy and not because your thinking causes it to be so but because of the nature of height. As one looks down from a height, one sees many more than things than one may see when one is in the valley, on the surface, unable to see over the next ridge or knoll, past the next tree or rock. Within yourself, each of you has the opportunity to experience the deep surfaces, the crevices, the rocks, the valleys, the vales, and the forests of existence.

Now Hatonn wanted to speak about our spiritual journey. They began by saying Jesus offered peace, but following this offering He said, “This peace is not what the world thinks of as peace,” for He spoke of a journey, and one of those whom He taught said, “We do not understand what journey upon which you go,“ and the teacher replied, “Each of us is the journey. The journey is not outside yourself. You do not seek for something as if you were grabbing at the ring at a carnival ride. You are seeking within yourself, and this then will bring you peace,” and we would say to you that it is a kind of peace that the world finds suspect and sometimes dangerous, for the smile of joy in the face of trouble seems not a victory but an inappropriate reaction, so the heart and the courage to lift oneself up in the face of a daunting situation seems to a dark world the action of a fool. Now Hatonn said you must know that all things are holographs for all other structures, and the structure of yourselves, the structure of the Earth, the structure of the Universe—study one, and you begin to understand the others, for the high mountainous peak is holy because of the nature of height since as one looks down from a height, one sees many more than things than one may see when one is in the valley and unable to see over the next ridge, past the next tree or rock, but within yourself, each of you has the opportunity to experience the rocks, the valleys, and the forests of existence. On April 2, 2016, Q’uo described the nature of finding that which is holy:

The meditative state is that place wherein you tabernacle with the most high, the holy of holies within your holy ground. Go, therefore, you to this ground and seek the answers that are most important to you. Do not attempt to decide with your mental faculties important questions of spiritual nature. Go there within to the heart of your being to find those answers there in the meditative state.

Each has ample opportunity to choose to be misled, to be unhappy, to feel darkness. Each of you also has within you the birthright and the opportunity at all times to seek the high places. Walk then in meditation up your own mountain. Picture yourself cleansing yourself at a clear, cool, and refreshing mountain stream. And then clad in clean garments, visit the most high place of your being in meditation and in peace. Metaphysical peace does not deny the apparent chaos of a boisterous illusion but rather reaffirms and restates for you once again the perfection of the Creator, the Creator that is in you and the you that is in the Creator. You are old, older than rocks, and sky, and earth, and sea. You are consciousness. You have seen, and experienced, and chosen many things. Today you may choose again. It is only through meditation that your choices will be consistently positive. And by that we mean that your choices will be consistently those of service to others.

When one is upon the rock, how easy it is to feel that there is no one to serve, and if there were others to serve, yet there is no chance of true service. It is easy upon a rock to wonder where you will be fed, when you will be served, and yet you have plenty of food. As you gain in compassion, so you gain in your nearness to time spent and to infinite supply. Only you know what shall fill your appetite for peace, for Love, and for giving of that which you have gained to those about you. We hope you have hearty appetites. Our hearts are full with gratitude and thanksgiving that you have allowed us to share our thoughts with you. We are quite prone to error and are anything but authoritarian. Never take our word to be absolute, but rather, test it against this illusion on a daily basis over a period of time. If what we say is so, your life shall be considerably simplified and most certainly changed. If the change is towards an inner joy and peace, then we have spoken well. If what we say is not appropriate, toss it aside without a backward glance for there is inspiration everywhere. We are only one of countless sources. Listen, my friends, with inward and with outward ears to the joyous voices of the infinite Creator. Listen always, even when you talk. For you, too, are full of inspiration. Find inspiration in silent sayings as well, for the voice of the Creator is often silent.

Hatonn continued by saying each has the opportunity to choose to be unhappy or to feel darkness, but each of you also has the the opportunity to seek the high places, so walk in meditation up your own mountain, and picture yourself cleansing yourself at a clear, cool, and refreshing mountain stream, and then clothe yourself in clean garments and visit the highest place of your being in meditation because metaphysical peace does not deny the chaos of a boisterous illusion but reaffirms for you the perfection of the Creator that is in you, and the you that is in the Creator, for you are older than rocks, and sky, and earth, and sea, for you are consciousness, and you have experienced many things, so today you may choose again, but it is only through meditation that your choices will be consistently positive, and by that we mean that your choices will be those of service to others. Hatonn continued by saying when one is upon the rock, how easy it is to feel that there is no one to serve, and if there were others to serve, yet there is no chance of true service, for it is easy upon a rock to wonder where you will be fed, when you will be served, yet you have plenty of food, and as you gain in compassion you gain in your nearness to infinite supply, but only you know what shall fill your appetite for peace, for Love, and for giving of that which you have gained to those about you, so we hope you have hearty appetites, and our hearts are full with gratitude that you have allowed us to share our thoughts with you, but we are prone to error, so never take our word to be absolute, but test it against this illusion on a daily basis, and if what we say is so, your life shall be simplified and changed, so if the change is towards an inner joy and peace, then we have spoken well, but if what we say is not appropriate, toss it aside without a backward glance, for there is inspiration everywhere, and listen with inward and with outward ears to the joyous voices of the infinite Creator, yet listen always, even when you talk, for you are full of inspiration, so find inspiration in silent sayings, for the voice of the Creator is often silent. On March 8, 1974, Oxal said that the voice of the Creator is everywhere:

Yes, my friends, you are listening to the voice of the Creator. You hear the voice of the Creator each day, my friends, as you go about your daily activities. It is only necessary to recognize it. As you meet your friends in your daily activities, as they speak, then you hear the voice of your Creator. Birds singing in the trees, my friends, speak with the voice of the Creator. The very winds that blow through these trees speak to you, my friends. And this noise that you hear is the voice of the Creator, for the Creator’s expressions are infinite. It is only necessary that you hear and see these expressions and then, when you hear and see them, it is then necessary that you understand them, to understand that these are the Creator.

We must leave you at this time as we are having difficulty with this contact. I am Hatonn, and I bless and thank and greet each of you and assure you that we are with you at any time you may request us mentally in meditation. We have come to you, for we are Love, for you are Love, for the creation is Love. And we speak to you because all things manifest in Light. We leave you in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in that same Love and Light that our brothers and sisters of Hatonn have left you in. What a blessing it is to speak to this group this evening. May we also welcome the one known as S, who has in your measure of time been long absent from this group, though not absent from our blessings and our presence. Our service, as always, is that of attempting to answer those queries which each brings as a means of continued seeking. May we then begin with the first query?

J: It’s always good to hear your voice, Latwii. I have a query. I have an idea for a product which requires a patent, but I’m just sitting on it, not doing anything about it. Can you tell me anything about it?

I am Latwii, and, my brother, we are most happy to hear your voice as well and to attempt to the best of our ability to respond to your query. In this instance we find that there is a means by which you may pursue certain lessons through this activity that you have devised. We cannot give advice as to whether or not you should or should not proceed in any particular manner with a lesson which has implications for your evolution, for it would not be proper for us to point you in any particular direction. Yet we would suggest that when you find an inspiration which has come to you as a result of your seeking, and when this inspiration takes a form which you feel is well, that it is helpful to follow inspirations. For whatever the outward form of any inspiration, it fulfils a deeper need and offers the opportunity for the growth of the being, shall we say. In short, we suggest following those inspirations which come from within the being.

May we answer you further, my brother?

J: Thank you.

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

Carla: Just to follow that up. Is there anything legitimately wrong with making bucks, with money?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We do not find the wrongness, shall we say, in any action which any of your people might contemplate, for all actions are productive of the opportunity to learn and offer each entity an avenue to do so. That which you have called money is one particular item within your illusion which has much controversy gathered about it, for there are many on the spiritual path who find the concern with the monetary matters to be quite inappropriate. We suggest that any action or thought may be used efficiently by the seeker of truth.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Do you want to repeat that last sentence?

I am Latwii, and it was our suggestion that any action or thought could be well used by the seeker of truth. It is the intention that is the factor of most importance.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: I’d always had a kind of a hunch that the only reason that money had such a bad name in spiritual circles was that it tended to become an end in itself, like idolatry of some sort. Is that somewhere close to the way that it really is?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We might suggest the general principle in this case could be generally stated as that which is of most importance in the life of the seeker is that which continues to provide an avenue for further seeking. That which becomes an end in itself ends the seeking and, indeed, becomes that which you have called an idol and is that which is of less importance for it has limited value and indeed limits the seeking.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, that was fine, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we are somewhat surprised that we have exhausted queries so early in the evening with a group which is so full of the inquiring nature of the seeker. We perceive that there are some queries which have yet to reach their final form and would ask once again if there might be any kind of query to which we might attempt reply?

S: Okay, I have one. Why is there always that stumbling block that all of us seem to go through? Where you want to tell people all about what’s going on, there always seems to be that large hurdle one has to make. And some people stop there, and some people can go ahead, go through and one’s progress and search is so much easier when we do. I’m speaking of the [inaudible] where everyone wants to wear their spirituality on their sleeve, and I speak from experience because I went through it too. But it seems to me that it would be so much easier and so much more enlightened if we didn’t have to have that road block in the way.

I am Latwii, and we feel that we have the gist of your query, my sister, and we thank you for asking a query which is of great interest to our own seeking. For we are speaking to this group as a result of a desire to be of service to the one Creator in our way. You speak first of that desire one feels to speak what one has found to be true of a spiritual nature to those with whom one has relationship. The seeker, when first embarking upon the path in a conscious manner, will undergo that experience which is likened unto the fire being set within the heart. The seeker has perceived that which is of great value, yet is somewhat overwhelmed by the nature, the depth, and the potential of that which has been encountered. Whatever the means the seeker has used, whatever the group the seeker has joined, whatever thought the seeker …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. To continue. Whatever means the seeker has used to begin the conscious search for truth, shall we say, the seeker then finds that which it wishes to share with others and to influence the others as the seeker has been influenced. It is a fire which burns most brightly for those beginning the journey. Yet it is a fire which is in need of, shall we say, the gentle touch. For such a fire can burn and singe and sear as well as illuminate the darkness. It is not for the seeker to be, shall we say, adeptly able to shine the light in the manner it is needed in each instance. It is more likely that the seeker shall run about with the torch burning brightly, sparks flying, little fires smoldering here and there, quickly extinguished, unless, of course, there is the chance for the lighting of another fire which is possible upon occasion, for there are those who need but a gentle nudge to have their own flames ignited. Yet it is most likely that the seeker shall find great difficulty in using this flame in a manner which is both loving and wise.

S asked: “Why is there always that stumbling block that all of us seem to go through?” Latwii replied we are speaking to this group as a result of a desire to be of service to the one Creator in our way, and you speak first of that desire one feels to speak what one has found to be true of a spiritual nature to those with whom one has relationship, so the seeker, when first embarking upon the path in a conscious manner, will undergo that experience which is likened unto the fire being set within the heart, for the seeker has perceived that which is of great value, yet it is overwhelmed by the nature and the potential of that which has been encountered. Then Latwii said whatever means the seeker has used to begin the conscious search for truth the seeker finds that which it wishes to share with others and to influence the others as the seeker has been influenced, for it is a fire which burns brightly for those beginning the journey, yet it is a fire which is in need of the gentle touch, for such a fire can burn one as well as illuminate the darkness, but it is not for the seeker to be able to shine the Light in the manner it is needed in each instance because it is more likely that the seeker shall run about with the torch burning brightly and little fires smoldering here and there, quickly extinguished, unless, of course, there is the chance for the lighting of another fire which is possible upon occasion, for there are those who need but a gentle nudge to have their own flames ignited, yet it is likely that the seeker shall find difficulty in using this flame in a manner which is both loving and wise. On November 21, 2005, Q’uo spoke of how we can be loving and wise to improve the world around us:

We ask that you become more and more aware that you have the opportunity, at this time, within this incarnation, to turn that energy within yourself around and to become stewards, loving and wise, of whatever little acre or square foot that you may have of planet Earth. What does your space need? If you are one who has property, we would ask you to commune with your land. And not simply with your land, but with your local situation. What local situations having to do with planet Earth have gone awry on your watch, in your neighborhood? And what can one person do to bring them gently into more harmony with those things which the planet itself needs? Are your waters foul? What can you do? Is there a lack of sustainable practice amongst your businesses? What can you do?

We could go on and on, listing the kinds of simple, down-to-earth, human, local problems to which you may address yourself. Whether you do have land or whether you live on the thirty-seventh floor of a high-rise, yet still you are part of planet Earth. What can you do? What are your gifts, and what kind of problems do you see? You are potentially one of those who is able, as one simple, single being, full of flaws, and yet full of good intentions, to join in groups that have a hope of coping with and creating solutions to those imbalances that have resulted in pollution and illness within the planet itself.

The healing begins within your own heart whether you live on a large parcel of land, a small parcel of land, or in that high-rise of which we spoke earlier. Heal the pollution within yourself. Love yourself. Be a steward to your own body, your own mind, your own nature and your own advancement. As you see your own advancement, do not take someone else’s word for what constitutes healing and advancement. Move within your own being where sources of guidance are thick on the ground and begin asking for that guidance to speak to you. Let that guidance spring to life from the world around you. Observe synchronicities and listen to words, phrases and thoughts that take you and make you imagine, hope and dream. For your imagination is the key to forming a new paradigm for living in a new time, on a new Earth, and in a new dawning of possibilities.

Now we move on to that subject of the stumbling block in general. Every so-called stumbling block is most important for any seeker, whatever nature the stumbling block may take. For it is not the purpose of your illusion nor of your incarnation to move smoothly without the jolts and jangles and stumbling from time to time. It is in such upsetting of the journey that all is shifted about so that there needs from time to time to be a reassessment of that which has been gained, and that which is sought, and the means for doing so by the seeker of truth. It is at such times that whatever spiritual strength that has been gained by the seeker is put into play and is allowed its full reach that the seeker, as the young kitten, may test itself and roll and tumble with life and its catalyst, if we may pun, and find that new synthesis of being. The continuation of the journey of seeking is that which is most important for it is an infinite journey, and each stumbling block does not in truth hinder the journey but truly speeds it by providing the opportunity for that which is old and worn and no longer useful to be discarded and for that which is a new possibility for the seeker’s consideration to be placed before the seeker’s mind.

Then Latwii said now we move on to that subject of the stumbling block in general. Every so-called stumbling block is most important for any seeker, whatever nature the stumbling block may take. For it is not the purpose of your illusion nor of your incarnation to move smoothly without the jolts, and jangles, and stumbling from time to time. It is in such upsetting of the journey that all is shifted about so that there needs from time to time to be a reassessment of that which has been gained, and that which is sought, and the means for doing so by the seeker of truth, for it is at such times that whatever spiritual strength that has been gained by the seeker is put into play and is allowed its full reach that the seeker, as the young kitten, may test itself and roll and tumble with life and its catalyst, if we may pun, and find that new synthesis of being.

On August 5, 1984, Latwii spoke of the nature of the stumbling block:

Now we move on to that subject of the stumbling block in general. Every so-called stumbling block is most important for any seeker, whatever nature the stumbling block may take. For it is not the purpose of your illusion nor of your incarnation to move smoothly without the jolts, and jangles, and stumbling from time to time.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No. I have another question, though. How much spiritual progress can be done on a subconscious level, as opposed to a combination of consciousness and subconsciousness working together? Can you give me a number level or a … that can be reached on subconscious completely or through a dream state or something like that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. Here we find that the response to this query may be that which surprises, much as this illusion is that which hides the truth and which surprises the seeker when it finds the truth. Indeed, my sister, we would suggest that the spiritual treasures which may be gained in your illusion are very infrequently gained in a conscious manner. The conscious assessment of spiritual progress is an attempt which is most futile. For within your illusion, the treasures of the one Creator are hidden beneath what may be called the veil of forgetting. And as you move through the illusion and encounter those situations which are yours to encounter, you shall deal with them in one manner or another and shall consciously register the effects within your mind and shall count the gain and note the loss and shall feel satisfaction or dismay. But in truth, that which has been gained of a spiritual nature has eluded the notice of the conscious mind.

It is as though the merchant who buys and sells the goods stores in his vault the gold of trade and measures his success by the gold, its purity and weight, and when the day finally comes that this entity passes from this incarnation and reads his own book of life, he will find that it was not the gold that was stored, not its purity, not its weight that is of importance in his life. Yet it was the manner in which the transactions were conducted with the other selves, the Love that was given, the Love that was received. It is so with the life of each. Each counts spiritual gold by the definition which each provides for the self. Yet, as you move within an illusion, so is the description of spiritual gold most illusory. That which is true value in the metaphysical sense is indeed stored up within your being but is of a nature which is quite beyond description and beyond your comprehension for it is not an illusion of comprehension in which you move. There is nothing which is understood completely or even in a small degree. You move within an illusion which requires faith and the will to move. You move in what might be called a darkness of being, seeking the small slivers of Light. And it is within the heart of your being that such seeking is motivated and recorded in its true sense.

S asked: “How much spiritual progress can be done on a subconscious level, as opposed to a combination of consciousness and subconsciousness working together?” Latwii began by saying we would suggest that the spiritual treasures which may be gained in your illusion are infrequently gained in a conscious manner, for the conscious assessment of spiritual progress is an attempt which is futile, for within your illusion the treasures of the one Creator are hidden beneath the veil of forgetting, and as you move through the illusion and encounter those situations which are yours to encounter, you shall deal with them in one manner or another, and you shall consciously register the effects within your mind, so you shall count the gain, and note the loss, and you shall feel satisfaction or dismay, but that which has been gained of a spiritual nature has eluded the notice of the conscious mind. Then Latwii said it is as though the merchant who buys and sells the goods stores in his vault the gold of trade and measures his success by the gold, and when the day comes that this entity passes from this incarnation and reads his own book of life, he will find that it was not the gold that was stored that is of importance in his life, yet it was the manner in which the transactions were conducted with other selves, the Love that was given and received, and it is so with the life of each, for each counts spiritual gold by the definition which each provides for the self, yet as you move within an illusion, so is the description of spiritual gold most illusory because that which is of true value in the metaphysical sense is stored up within your being but is of a nature which is beyond description and beyond your comprehension, for it is not an illusion of comprehension in which you move since there is nothing which is understood, for you move within an illusion which requires faith and will to move, and you move in a darkness of being, seeking the small slivers of Light, and it is within the heart of your being that such seeking is motivated and recorded in its true sense. On December 14, 1986, Q’uo described the value of our exercising our faith and will:

This is, indeed, the mystery, my sister, for within the third-density illusion, each seeker of what you call the truth places itself in a position of receptivity to that truth by the intensity of the seeking, the strength of faith and will, so that at some point within the cycle of incarnations, it is possible for such a seeker to not only discover that which it seeks, but to become that which it seeks. Thus is the meaning of the resurrection within third density. The seeker builds with mortal hands a manifested life that may be constructed in such a fashion in metaphysical terms that that known as Love may move through the being in such a pure fashion as to shine as that which it is, the pure and virgin consciousness of the one Creator, moving to gain the experience of the creation which it has made of Itself, and doing this within the life pattern of incarnate third-density beings who have prepared this place within their life patterns and, thus, not only receive that which was sought, but become that which was sought.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Yeah. I’m not sure if you answered it or not, but I don’t think you did. What I was trying perhaps to get at is, can, by consciousness which is on one path that I am aware of and the troubles in the life that I am going through now, and the joys and sorrows that I am consciously aware, and I’m consciously aware of the lessons to be learned and the karma to undo and all of that on one level … I also feel that there is another, at least one other part of me that is also on a different spiritual path, moving together or simultaneously with this other outer spiritual path that I’m doing here. And if that is going on at least on two different levels, and that they’re learning two different lessons or levels of lessons, could there be more, or am I confusing that, and I shouldn’t even be thinking about the two different levels? Now I only get very brief glimpses of this other level which is the only reason that I’m bring it up.

I am Latwii and, hopefully, we are more aware of your query at this time and shall attempt responses. We may affirm that for each seeker there are truly two levels of seeking. One is that which you have described as the conscious seeking during the incarnation. The other level is the level which more nearly approaches that which may be called the metaphysical truth. That level of being and seeking is what might be called the pre-incarnative choice. The entity before incarnating, having made contact with the higher self, and with the aid of those guides and presences which have been called to the entity in service, sets out a plan for the incarnation, a blueprint, shall we say. We, for want of a better term, shall call this plan the pursuit of truth, and it is set forth in clear terms yet with general guidelines for accomplishment.

Then during the incarnation, as the entity begins to awaken to its pre-incarnatively chosen plan, glimpses of this plan will become apparent as the entity, indeed, pursues that plan, both upon an unconscious and upon a conscious level. Whether the pursuit of the plan is unconscious or conscious, it is imperfectly perceived. Of course, as the journey of the seeker becomes more and more a conscious portion of the incarnation, the perception becomes clearer, yet in our previous response we intended to state that no matter how clearly the conscious mind is able to perceive the plan for the incarnation, it is the nature of your illusion that such a plan is never purely perceived. It is not clearly delineated for the conscious mind, but through the unconscious sets a tone and, shall we say, haunts rather than explicates itself.

May we answer further, my sister?

S: No, that’s fine.

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

Carla: Yes. Perhaps I’m just being dense, but I’d like to follow up S’s first question. She was asking what the purpose was of the constant stumbling blocks you run into when you … people even want perhaps to know about what you’re studying, or how you feel, and yet stumbling blocks do arise, and misunderstandings arise, and sometimes they seem overwhelming. What I was wondering was, I understand the virtue of this is to the person that’s trying to be of service, but to the person who is listening and discovering the stumbling block, what is the gift which is given by this stumbling block?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We might suggest that the gift of such a stumbling block to the one listening to the seeker is to awaken the ability to question that which is given from any source and to awaken the ability to seek for the self all answers and to, shall we say, develop the ability to filter from any resource any information which is given.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Just for the heck of it, how would you like to respond to accusations that we get about every once, six months, twice a year, maybe, that we are messengers of Satan and that you are a demonic being? All of you, of course.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. Our response to such a statement would be to recognize the one Creator which speaks and to suggest that such an entity has discovered that which we wish to share is not appropriate for that entity’s path of seeking and has so responded as a means of describing not only to others but to the self that another path would be more appropriate than to give any value to information which we might share, or to give any value to the possibility of information being shared by such entities in such a manner. It is the right and privilege of each seeker to choose its own path and it is, indeed, the duty of each to do so whether it is done with grace or clumsily, it is yet the one Creator which finds its own expression in its own way and time.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Why are you such a threat to people such as the Christian fundamentalists that are generally the ones who would say that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. First, we may state that we are truly no threat to any. But there are those whose minds are configured in such and such a manner to whom we may seem a threat by their own thinking. As the viewpoint is widened, and as Love is seen in those places and beings in which it was not previously seen, there is less and less seen to be a threat, until finally, all is seen as one Being, full of Love, and that Being is not only the self and not only a Creator, which exists outside the self, but is all things, all thoughts, all experience. Thus, each seeker begins with a narrow point of view and travels the path of truth which then allows the experiences that will aid the seeker in widening the point of view and the point of Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yet, you, yourselves have cautioned us frequently to tune so that we might get a carefully tuned positive love-oriented, service-to-others-oriented message. Is there a point in the development towards the final density and reunion with the Creator at which negative channeling and positive channeling or service-to-self and service-to-others channeling are heard with equal joy?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. This is, indeed, correct, my sister. At some level of each entity’s being this is possible. Yet within your illusion, you move in darkness and in a manner which requires the careful choosing of polarity, shall we say. For in order to do work of a spiritual nature, the battery of the seeker must be polarized as purely as possible. This polarization process proceeds for much of what you call time through many experiences. And as the seeking becomes more and more refined, the seeker in the positive polarity is able to appreciate more and more the essence of the one Creator which resides in all things, including those entities who have chosen to express the negative polarity of the one infinite Creator. Such a positive entity with this ability to appreciate the one Creator in all is an entity which has refined the process of seeking to a degree where all is seen as one; all is seen as the one infinite Creator, and there is no polarity at this point.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: I take it that’s quite a ways down the road?

I am Latwii, and we would agree, my sister, that for the seeker of truth in the positive sense this is quite a lengthy journey and reaches its culmination, shall we say, at the mid-sixth density level, at which time for any entity wishing to continue the process of evolution, it is necessary to see all as the one Creator. Yet it is possible from time to time on this journey for any entity to purify its own thinking that it is able to experience the unity of all the creation for briefer moments.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, just an observation that that sounds in some ways like risky business.

I am Latwii, and in one sense, my sister, we would agree. Each seeker of truth finds the path laid before it in a manner which leads inevitably to the one Creator. For in each moment the one Creator is all that is. Yet as the one Creator seeks to know Itself and has portioned Itself throughout the one creation in the positive and negative senses, those entities who travel this path of evolution will find that path, though inevitably leading to the one Creator, can be a path which has many surprises for those whose step is not sure and whose attention has been diverted for the moment. And it may be necessary from time to time for the seeker to learn lessons which may be described as difficult. Yet each lesson teaches Love, Wisdom, and unity for those who are alert to the possibilities within difficulty.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

S: I have one. And I should know the answer, but I don’t. If one incarnated on this planet from a different dimension, let’s say a higher one, and if that entity didn’t do any large boo-boos that would keep him in this density and leave him with this social memory complex, upon completion of this service, does an entity go back to his own social memory complex and kind of jump in where he left off, or if he has made great progress in the third density, can he shoot ahead out of his social memory complex into another one, say on a different dimension, if he came from the fourth dimension, did good work, could he shoot ahead to the fifth, or does he jump back into the evolution of the, or the fourth density he came from?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We must attempt a general response to a query which has a great many possible responses. If an entity from a density which is in advance of this third density illusion incarnates for a certain purpose, the incarnations within this illusion may be expected to continue until that purpose has been fulfilled, whether it takes one or many incarnations. There is also the possibility of revaluation of such purposes between the incarnations within this illusion and at this time, shall we say, it is possible for new services to be added or for modifications to be made upon the service which was originally chosen. If an entity is successful in providing the service and learning the lessons which were set before the incarnation or incarnations, it is most usually the case for such a positively polarized entity to remain with the social memory complex, as you have called, that it originally began with. For it is not the nature of a positively polarized entity wishing to be of service to leave that group with which it has provided services for great portions of what you call time and experience. It is more likely that such an entity would use those increased abilities gained in the, shall we say, successful incarnation to advance the social memory complex as a whole rather than to take the fruits of his labor and go its, shall we say, merry way.

May we answer further, my sister?

S: No, that was fine. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you once again, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we thank each within this group for providing those queries and energies which allow us to provide our humble service to each and to the one Creator. We shall follow our brothers and sisters of Hatonn with the same injunction, that whatever message and words that we have provided which you find to be of service, we offer in joy and thanksgiving. Whatever words may not be helpful at this time, we suggest that you leave behind with no thought or regret. That which we have to offer, we offer as our opinions and as our gift with no expectations that what we say shall carry any weight. We speak to the one Creator in each which knows all that can be known and is all that can be. And it is our great honor and privilege to speak with the one Creator gathered this evening in this place. We thank each for allowing us this great privilege. We shall leave you now, it would seem, though in truth we are with you always and at your request shall be most happy to join your meditations. We are those of Latwii. We leave you now, my friends, in Love and Light. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I am beginning to work with a new book by Joel Goldsmith called, The Thunder of Silence. The first quote is: “Revelation always comes as somewhat of a shock, not only to the person who receives the revelation, but also to those with whom it is shared. It is the nature of revelation to be shocking and startling because when it hits up against our cherished beliefs, we become conscious of the degree to which our minds have been conditioned by the opinions and theories current in human thinking, and we suddenly realize the extent of our unenlightenment.

It is not long ago that the majority of people lived a wholly materialistic life, believing that the only real things in life were the material ones, and the only power a physical power. Into that world was introduced the idea of there is a world of mind and mind-power, and this so permeated consciousness that the focus of attention was shifted from the material to the mental.

Had it not been for revelation, I, too, would have lived out my life in this world of mind, never realizing that the world of mind-power is as illusory as that of material power, but one day a message came to me that mind is not power, that thought is not power. This shocked me, steeped as I had been in the teaching that “right thinking” could solve all my problems.

There were many unfoldments following that one, and now after several years of becoming accustomed to these startling revelations and of giving the message time to permeate consciousness, it is being given to the public in this book where you will read something which may sound as familiar to you that your immeditate response may be, “Everybody knows this”; but I can assure you that if people did, they would all be dedicated Souls on the spiritual path. Insofar as I have observed from my study of the spiritual literature of the world the truth stated in this book has never been fully revealed although it constitutes the absolute basis for true spiritual living.

Before you read any further let me assure you that I have no interest whatsoever in establishing a new religion or a new religious teaching, or in setting up any person or groups of people to be obeyed whose dictates and opinions  are in any way considered binding, final, or infallible. I have no intention or desire to leave behind me any kind of religious organization, anything that anyone can join, promote, publicize, or use for personal profit, or even anything that anyone can feel they can rely upon for their salvation. If there is anything that I would like most of all to do in my span of life on Earth, it is to remove from people all those props or crutches upon which they have relied.

The purpose of this book is not to put you in bondage to any person or organization. Rather is its purpose to set you free from “man, whose breath is in his nostrils,” free to unite with all those who are on the same spiritual path, free to share with those who are seeking the spiritual way, but in bondage to nobody, belonging to nobody owing “no person anything but to love one another.” That is the real freedom, and nothing less than freedom can house God.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”—that is where liberty is; that is where real freedom is, where strength is. The only strength there is is in union with God, and that is an infinity of strength. Union of the human variety changes with the changing and unstable world. If we have learned nothing else through these centuries of wars, we have learned how fleeting is power. In all the covenants that have been made—all the treaties and other international agreements—there has been no lasting strength.”

This afternoon I went outside with the hope of solving a problem with my fishpond that has happened twice in the last few days. The fountain has gone down from its usual height of about three feet, and about 150 gallons of water has, somehow, disappeared from the fishpond without leaving any trace outside of the fishpond. So, the only thing that I could do was what I have done before, and that was to use the garden hose to clean the three filters within the schemer. Then I pumped out another 150 gallons of water so that the height of the pond was only one foot. As the water was pumping out, I put netting over the Solomon’s Seal Flowers. I secured the netting on six plastic rods. Then as the pond was refilling, I took my speedwalk. When I got home the pond was still not full of water, so I continued working on a new Camelot Journal entry. After about 15 minutes I went back outside, and the pond was full of water. Then I turned on the pump, and the fountain was as high as it could go without splashing out of the fishpond. Then I threw three cups of AquaSafe into the pond to neutralize the chlorine.

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

March 22

Your Inner And Outer Universe

I am the Spirit of the living Christ. I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ, in the full consciousness of divine Love.

We ask you to consider your environment at this moment. Each of the stars in your night sky careens in perfect balance along its cosmic track and about your sun your planet travels in that self-same regularity, all elements harmonizing into the divine plan which affords opportunity that spiritual consciousness may grow in you.

Contemplate, within, that universe of cells which makes up each organ and member of your physical body. Know and feel the utter harmony and regularity of those infinitesimal galaxies as in their whirling they create bases for that energy field which you experience as a living body.

Is any member or organ of that body seemingly out of harmony? If so, allow the spirit to offer instruction as, in your knowing and inner faith, in a deep way, you speak to your own body, telling it of the wonder and perfection of the creation of the Father.

Each of you has within you the means whereby to call bodily, mental, emotional, and spiritual harmony to you. If such be your need this day, do so and be merry, resting in the vibrant peace of the Father.

We leave you in that peace, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from July 19, 1984:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. It is my privilege and my blessing to share your consciousness with ours. Truly, although we come to serve, we find ourselves served ten times over by the beauty of the vibrations, the vitality and sharp peaks and valleys of your existences. We who refine our choice have a great deal of intensity to our existence and have much to tell of our journey, but those who make the choice at this time, as you would call it, have a much more heightened experience, a much sharper illusion. Perhaps it is our way of saying we enjoy memories of the good old days, when the good old days were perhaps not quite as easy as we remember. Perhaps each of you would assert that this is true. The illusion that you experience is not easy, though we remember it with great affection. We have made our choice, and you are making yours.

This evening, we would speak of a portion of information about the one original Thought, which is Love, and your relationship to it that is called gratitude. It has much been studied within the distortions you may call Christian, and we find within this instrument’s mind a great familiarity with the story called the prodigal son. In this parable the teacher known as Jesus described a situation where an unruly and wild young heir to a great fortune demanded his fortune before the death of his father, while his patient and kindly brother demanded nothing but remained in his father’s house. The prodigal son took all that he now possessed and squandered it foolishly and quickly, and one day found him eating the same food that he brought to the swine. He thought to himself, “How much better I would have it if I were even a slave in my father’s house. I shall be go back and ask to be taken on as a slave.” And he walked through several countries until he came again unto his father’s house. His father, seeing him afar off, rejoiced and made ready a grand celebration. The patient, kindly brother who had never left home was upset, for he had never had such a party given to him and he had served his father throughout many years.

[The telephone rings.]

We shall pause.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. I am Hatonn. We thank you for pausing with us. We shall continue in Love and in Light. The good son said to his father, “Why, you have never given me such a wonderful party, why is that?” And the father said, “Why son, you have always been here with me, and everything I have is yours. But your brother was lost, and now he is found; he was dead and now he is alive.”

Let us examine this parable, my friends, for gratitude is not what many find it easy to define. Spiritual gratitude is difficult. However, it is one of the linchpins on which spiritual development rests. The prodigal son was not grateful to his father, either when he left or when he returned. He was in the first instance arrogant, and in the second unknowing of what was about to occur. He had, however, given all hopes up of ever being a member of a family to which he had once belonged. The son who had always been with the father and who shared all that was the father’s knew no gratitude either at his father’s attitude or at the return of his brother, for he was jealous and wanted more than was his share, more than his father could give. The father alone was filled with gratitude because of a son that had betrayed him and squandered his inheritance. This same father could just as easily have been outraged to see such a foolish son returning. The words could have been hard and bitter. “Go away,” he could have said, “Go away, you are no longer my son, and what I owe you I have given you.” Yet, to the father the idea of just portions was foreign. The father gave all that he had and then found more to give, grateful simply for the sight of that which he had nurtured, that which was in his keeping.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the Parable of the Prodigal Son. They began by saying we would speak of a portion of information about the one original Thought, which is Love, and your relationship to it that is called gratitude, and it has been studied within Christianity, and we find within Carla’s mind  familiarity with the story called the prodigal son, for in this parable Jesus described a situation where an unruly young heir to a great fortune demanded his fortune before the death of his father, while his kindly brother demanded nothing but remained in his father’s house, so the prodigal son took all that he now possessed and squandered it foolishly and quickly, and one day found him eating the same food that he brought to the swine, and he thought to himself, “How much better I would have it if I were even a slave in my father’s house. I shall be go back and ask to be taken on as a slave,” and he walked through several countries until he came to his father’s house, for his father, seeing him afar off, rejoiced and made ready a grand celebration, but the kindly brother who had never left home was upset, for he had never had such a party given to him, and he had served his father throughout many years, so the good son said to his father, “Why, you have never given me such a wonderful party, why is that?” And the father said, “Why son, you have always been here with me, and everything I have is yours, but your brother was lost, and now he is found; he was dead and now he is alive.” Hatonn went on to say let us examine this parable, for gratitude is easy to define because spiritual gratitude is difficult, but it is one of the linchpins on which spiritual development rests, so the prodigal son was not grateful to his father, either when he left or when he returned, for he was in the first instance arrogant, and in the second unknowing of what was about to occur, so he had given all hope up of ever being a member of the family to which he had once belonged, but the son who had always been with the father, and who shared all that was the father’s, knew no gratitude either at his father’s attitude or at the return of his brother, for he was jealous and wanted more than was his share, more than his father could give, so the father alone was filled with gratitude because of a son that had betrayed him and squandered his inheritance, but this father could have been outraged to see such a foolish son returning, and his words could have been hard and bitter: “Go away, you are no longer my son, and what I owe you I have given you,” yet to the father the idea of just portions was foreign, for the father gave all that he had and then found more to give, grateful for the sight of that which he had nurtured. On September 22, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of gratitude:

Gratitude is, indeed, a spiritual principle, my brother. The energy of gratitude contains a world of wisdom and compassion. For one is gratified not only because of the good things, so called, not only the sunny days, but the rainy days, the stormy days, the tsunami. All weathers whatsoever, all, are occasions for gratitude. Therefore, this practice is of a very high order of excellence, and we commend you, my brother, for working with this principle in humility and in joy.

Within this illusion it is difficult to know how one may see praise in many, many situations. Being grateful for the experience which may just as well hurt as heal is inestimably difficult, and yet if there is gratitude in sufficient amount, gratitude for the challenge, gratitude for the prodigal son offering you that challenge, gratitude for the infinity of Love which is your birthright and which manifested through you may be all in all. This gratitude homes the shepherd, the father, the nurturer, in so that all moments eventually ring with praise, and the illusion finally begins to lift. You will notice that the father in this parable saw that for which he was grateful, that for which he could have been distressed, a far way away. His gratitude stepped into a void that would only be filled when the son showed his gratitude for being again acceptable by his family. There are seldom moments within third-density experience when that gratitude which is spiritually based may come easily and after something is accomplished. Spiritually or metaphysically speaking, gratitude calls to itself, that is, the gratitude comes within the void of unknowing. The fatted calf is killed before the prodigal son reaches home, before the nature of this unexpected return is known.

How many experiences, my friends, partake in some way of this vulnerability. Something occurs to you. It, given the nature of your illusion, has a tendency to be more painful than pleasurable, for that is the nature of your experiences. Good experiences and bad experiences there are, all seen through the subjective eye, and yet because of the desolation and confusion of many, far more negative thoughts invite their reflection than positive, and thus the illusion often seems to be full of discord and strife. There is then the chance to be grateful—to be grateful, to give thanks, to shout aloud with praise at nothing, for what seems to be real is disease, disharmony, discomfort or despair. As you express thanks, so the seed will be sown. To whom it manifests is always unknown. Your seed may be sown for another or for yourself. Planting has little to do with harvest. However, if you can be thankful for the simple gift of consciousness, if no more than that, if you can be quiet and peaceful in the face of difficulty, if your heart may shout with joy and ecstasy in the face of discomfort, then that which you manifest to the universe shall be that Light, that manifestation of the one original Thought in your own unique expression that brings not just to you, but to those who surround you a reflecting manifestation of thankfulness and gratitude.

Hatonn continued by saying within this illusion it is difficult to know how one may see praise in many situations, for being grateful for the experience which may hurt or heal is difficult, yet if there is gratitude for the prodigal son offering you that challenge and gratitude for the infinity of Love which is your birthright, and which manifested through you may be all in all, for this gratitude homes the shepherd and the father, so that all moments ring with praise, and the illusion begins to lift, and you will notice that the father in this parable saw that for which he was grateful, or that for which he could have been distressed, so his gratitude stepped into a void that would only be filled when the son showed his gratitude for again being acceptable by his family, but there are seldom moments within third-density experience when gratitude, which is spiritually based, may come easily after something is accomplished, yet spiritually speaking gratitude comes within the void of unknowing, and the fatted calf is killed before the prodigal son reaches home, before the nature of this unexpected return is known. Hatonn went on to say something occurs to you, and it has a tendency to be more painful than pleasurable, for that is the nature of your experiences since there are good experiences and bad experiences, and all are seen through the subjective eye, yet because of the confusion of many, more negative thoughts invite their reflection than positive, and the illusion seems to be full of strife, so there is the chance to be grateful, to give thanks for what seems to be real is disharmony and despair, for as you express thanks, so the seed will be sown, but to whom it manifests is always unknown, for your seed may be sown for another or for yourself, but planting has little to do with harvest, but if you can be thankful for the gift of consciousness, and if you can be peaceful in the face of difficulty, if your heart may shout with joy and ecstasy in the face of discomfort, then that which you manifest to the universe shall be that Light, that manifestation of the one original Thought in your unique expression that brings not just to you, but to those who surround you a reflecting manifestation of and gratitude. On November 19, 1997, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the gift of consciousness:

When one considers what one is to do with one’s gifts, we would encourage each seeker to contemplate first the greatest gift, that gift of consciousness. There are duties and responsibilities that go hand in hand with the awakening of awareness of one’s spiritual identity. One responsibility is to remember who you are, and what you are. For it is that essence that you came primarily to offer as your service. As each comprehends these words, each is fulfilling her major, primary service. For the primary service is to share sacrificially the essential vibrations of self with the planet that you call Earth in order that the planetary consciousness may be lightened at this critical time, metaphysically speaking, in Earth’s history. So, no matter what occurs within the outer world, as the one known as C observed, no matter whether one develops a new physics or works and retires, the primary service is performed as you breathe in and out, and as you are most deeply and truly yourself.

One thought as we leave this instrument. We do not intend in any way to describe the nature of the Creator by speaking of this parable. We are not attempting to describe metaphysical geometry in which the Creator has certain characteristics. We would not be so bold, nor would we tamper with your own study. We use words for the Creator and in close association with the Creator. Those words are: Love, the original Thought, Light, oneness, you, I. These are not characteristics, as the Creator is far more deeply personal than to have a personality. The technique of gratitude, rather, is much like that archetype which shows a fool or a wise man stepping off into space. Give thanks, my friends, not for what you see, not for the kindliness of the Creator, not for the excellence of your circumstance, but, rather, give thanks because you are able to give thanks, because you live, and breathe, and think. You define the nature of your being.

Hatonn concluded by saying we do not intend to describe the nature of the Creator by speaking of this parable, for we are not attempting to describe metaphysical geometry in which the Creator has certain characteristics, so we would not be so bold, nor would we tamper with your own study, for we use words for the Creator, and those words are: Love, Light, oneness, you, and I, but these are not characteristics, as the Creator is more deeply personal than to have a personality, for the technique of gratitude is much like that archetype which shows a fool or a wise man stepping off into space, so give thanks, not for the kindliness of the Creator, but give thanks because you are able to give thanks, because you live, breathe, think, and you define the nature of your being. On June 27, 1993, Q’uo described the nature of Love:

The Creator created a great original Expression, or Thought. This we have called the Logos or Love. This principle, this Love, created all that there is by the quantizing articulation of Light. Yet all that is created is of the nature of its parent source, which is Love. The reason for offering Love, appreciation, a blessing and thanksgiving to the infinite One is that the entity within incarnation is attempting to form its vibratory frequency more and more like that of the vibrational frequency of the one great original Thought, which is Love. The closer the seeker comes to matching that vibratory frequency, the more that entity will be perceived as offering praise and thanksgiving. This is true far beneath any articulation of words or even what you consider thoughts. Rather, it is in the nature of the way creation is built. That is, the original Thought expresses in Love, thanks, blessing, praise, and rejoicing. Thusly, it is not a Creator hungry for praise and thanks that requires homage of Its worshippers, but rather it is Love, it is reflected in Love, and in that infinite reflection lies truth.

We are with you, my friends, and of course at any time you may ask us to be with you mentally during meditation we shall be glad to be there as silent partner to aid your contemplative and quiet moment. I am Hatonn. I leave you in all that there is, the Love and the Light of the original infinite Creator. Adonai.  Adonai, my friends.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. It is our privilege and our pleasure to once again be asked to join your group. We thank you, as always, for inviting our humble service which we attempt to provide by means of answering those concerns that you bring with you. May we then ask for the first query at this time?

Carla: I’m really glad to hear your voice, Latwii, but I don’t have any questions.

I am Latwii, and, my sister, we are filled with joy to hear your voice as well, and to feel the vibrations of this group. We feel that there are those concerns that are present, and if they can be formed into words at this time, we would be happy to attempt to reply. Is there a query at this time?

Carla: I will ask for a friend of mine. It’s a question in general, for I’m sure there are many people that share his difficulties. How may he work to remove his difficulties, and achieve a proper spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that this query is of a general nature, and has not those specific qualities which would infringe upon the free will, thus we may attempt an answer and shall do our best. Each seeker within your illusion moves within that which might be called the darkness. Nothing is known except perhaps that the seeker does exist and move within certain boundaries, and these boundaries seem quite real. They are that which the seeker has made familiar through the thinking and the experience which are attempts to reflect the true heart of being, and to make the journey known in a conscious fashion. These boundaries serve to focus the seeker for a portion of the journey, and when they have served their purpose there is the opportunity to release the boundaries, to bid farewell to that which has been familiar to the seeker.

Many of your people call this transformation, and some such changing of the guard, shall we say, may be called initiation as well, for the old is given away and the new is born. These are new boundaries, my sister, but boundaries which are somewhat widened and offer more freedom. Yet, with the new-found freedom comes the first fear of taking new steps, for that which is new is not known nor is it familiar, yet the seeker, full of the desire to move onward, will take that first step as the fool into space, and with faith and will exercised to the fullest ability will find firm ground on which to step, for that ground shall be a new portion of the seeker, and shall be that which awaits the formation first in, shall we say, desire or mind. The step is thought, and then it is taken, and it is taken because it is thought.

Carla asked: “I will ask for a friend of mine. It’s a question in general, for I’m sure there are many people that share his difficulties. How may he work to remove his difficulties, and achieve a proper spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance?” Latwii began by saying we find that this query is of a general nature, and has not those specific qualities which would infringe upon free will, thus we may attempt an answer, so each seeker within your illusion moves within that which is darkness, and nothing is known except that the seeker exists and moves within certain boundaries, and these boundaries seem real, for they are that which the seeker has made familiar through the thinking and the experience which are attempts to reflect the true heart of being, and to make the journey known in a conscious fashion since these boundaries serve to focus the seeker for a portion of the journey, and when they have served their purpose there is the opportunity to release the boundaries, to bid farewell to that which has been familiar to the seeker. Now Latwii said many of your people call this transformation, and some call it initiation, for the old is given away, and the new is born, so these are new boundaries, but boundaries which are widened and offer more freedom, yet with the new-found freedom comes the first fear of taking new steps, for that which is new is not known, nor is it familiar, yet the seeker will take that first step as the fool into space, and with faith and will exercised to the fullest ability will find firm ground on which to step, for that ground shall be a new portion of the seeker, and it shall be that which awaits the formation first in mind, so the step is thought, and then it is taken, and it is taken because it is thought. In 57.24, Ra described the nature of initiation:

However, you are aware of the concept of initiation and realize that it demands the centering of the being upon the seeking of the Creator. We have hoped to balance this understanding by enunciating the Law of One, that is, that all things are One Creator. Thus seeking the Creator is done not just in meditation and the work of an adept but in the experiential nexus of each moment.

The initiation of the Queen’s Chamber has to do with the abandoning of self to such desire to know the Creator in full that the purified instreaming Light is drawn in balanced fashion through all energy centers, meeting in indigo and opening the gate to intelligent infinity. Thus, the entity experiences true life or, as your people call it, resurrection.

Thus, the journey continues within new boundaries, and the seeker once again moves forward for a portion of what you call time until those difficulties that are a result of the new bias mount to the point where a threshold of resistance, shall we say, is constructed, thereby providing the opportunity for yet another transformation, as what once was a new field of experience becomes too restrictive and must be replaced and transformed by a larger field of experience. The faith and the will are those tools which propel the seeker through such transformations. The rejoicing at such an opportunity is also a concomitant portion of the seeker’s own creation that is most helpful in this journey, and most especially during such transformations.

Then Latwii said the journey continues within new boundaries, and the seeker once again moves forward for a portion of time until those difficulties that are a result of the new bias mount to the point where a threshold of resistance is constructed, thereby providing the opportunity for another transformation, so what once was a new field of experience becomes too restrictive and must be replaced by a larger field of experience, for faith and will are those tools which propel the seeker through such transformations, and the rejoicing at such an opportunity is also a portion of the seeker’s creation that is helpful in this journey, and most especially during such transformations. On March 7, 2020, Q’uo spoke of how faith and will work together on our spiritual journey:

This faith, then, may also call upon the quality of the will that each seeker has within its being to utilize the perceptions of the day, the catalyst of the experience, the potential within each moment to move forward in growth. This will, then, balances the faith so that there is the opportunity for the seeker to exercise its desire, its will, its potential to realize the qualities of faith that have pointed out the possibilities for growth for each seeker.

Thus, faith and will are the rod and the staff that each seeker carries with it as it moves through this third-density illusion, where the darkness of the illusion hides most of the Creator that is within each moment and each entity, and provides the entity, then, a means by which it may ascertain greater and greater means of moving forward in the process of spiritual growth. Together then, faith and will can utilize any present moment to move forward within the spiritual journey.

May we attempt further response, my sister?

Carla: That was very complete. Thank you. I had a secondary query, and that was, if a person carries confusion of some kind to the point that most people would call delusional to the close of the incarnation, will that person be, shall I say, caught in that confusion as the next incarnation opens?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. Inasmuch as each entity which inhabits your illusion contains a certain amount of confusion, it is necessary upon the cessation of any incarnation for any such confusion or imbalance to go through the process of healing. Therefore, according to the nature and degree of the difficulty or confusion, the entity shall find within itself the need to heal that which was broken, to make clear that which was confused, and to make whole that which was broken. There are many, many individual situations to consider in the general nature of your query when making reference to the needs of the next incarnation. The entity may be ready for that which is called the harvest, and may find that, though confused during the incarnation, was sufficiently polarized to continue to the next level of lesson, and may find a need to include the first portion of studies as that confusion which was carried forth from the previous incarnation. For an entity not able to harvest itself within your third-density illusion, such confusion then might be a portion of its next third-density incarnation lesson.

There are, as you know, a great variety of entities upon your sphere at this time. Many have come from other densities and planetary influences to be of service, and may find that there are certain difficulties and confusions which would necessitate a particular plan of study to be carried forth, perhaps within any number of situations which would perhaps include another third-density incarnational experience or could take forms which are most difficult to describe to you at this time, for to those of other densities there are various means of relieving and healing the distortions accumulated within a third-density incarnation. We apologize for not being able to give a specific answer at this time, but are aware that you recognize the difficulty with the infringement upon free will which is potentially within our response.

May we respond in more detail, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you, Latwii.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that we have exhausted the queries. Though few in number, we find that the focus of each query was sufficiently well tuned to provide information which we hope may be of some aid in your quest for truth. We share with you that same quest, and thank you for allowing us to share what humble opinions we have gathered on our journey with you. We shall be with each of you upon your request in your meditations, and shall be honored to join your group at your next gathering, should we be so requested. We are those of Latwii, and we leave you now, my friends, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote form The Art of Meditation is: “Wherever there is a realized God-consciousness, it becomes an instrument through which God functions in human consciousness. The activity of the Christ can function through my consciousness reaching and touching yours to illumine, heal, and supply. In the same manner, as you are attuned to the Infinite Invisible in meditation, Christ finds an outlet through your consciousness, touching the lives of others, awakening their consciousness and bringing what the world calls healing to their bodies and affairs. The activity of the Christ, with no human intervention, flows into whatever human consciousness is opening itself to God’s grace.

The day will come when there will be a band, a circle of spiritual wisdom around the entire globe. The fabric of this circle will be formed throughout the world by the realized Christ-consciousness of teachers and students. When this circle has been developed sufficiently, then everybody who seeks spiritual Light will be able to reach out and touch the realized Christ-consciousness of anyone in this band of illumined Souls. Then the world will be uplifted, not one by one, but by the millions. When this consciousness is released through individual realization in meditation and communion, it can no longer be localized in either time or space, and anyone in the world who touches it can attain it in some measure.

Illumination dissolves all material ties and binds people together with the golden chains of spiritual understanding: it acknowledges only the leadership of the Christ; it has no ritual or rule but the divine, impersonal, universal Love; no other worship than the inner Flame that is ever lit at the shrine of Spirit. This union is the free state of spiritual brotherhood. The only restraint is the discipline of Soul, therefore we know liberty without license; we are a united universe without physical limits; a divine service to God without ceremony or creed. The illumined walk without fear—by Grace.”

I would like to make a comment on this ending quote of Joel Goldsmith’s book seeming to be a miracle that our current world situation does not give much possibility of happening. Ra made a similar statement in 65.12:

We may note at this point while you ponder the possibility/probability vortices that although you have many, many items which cause distress and thus offer seeking and service opportunities, there is always one container in that store of peace, Love, Light, and joy. This vortex may be very small, but to turn one’s back upon it is to forget the infinite possibilities of the present moment. Could your planet polarize towards harmony in one fine, strong moment of inspiration? Yes, my friends. It is not probable; but it is ever possible.

Later this morning I went outside and cut netting to put on plastic rods to cover Hosta sprouts in three areas of my back yard to protect them from the deer

This afternoon I went over to southern Indiana to visit my friend who lives in a care home in New Albany. Before I got there, I released a opossum in a rural area that I caught in my Hava-Hart trap this morning because it was eating the cat food on my front porch that is meant for my feral cat, Faithful. Then I visited Connie for about an hour which started with sharing a banana and some treats with her. Then I showed her some pictures and videos of my new kitten, Mystical Joy, and they made us both laugh. Then I read her some quotes from Carla’s Autobiography, and we talked about the ones that inspired her. Then I read some quotes from her book about women who have been declared to be saints over the last few hundred years. We ended our visit with our usual meditation time. Then I gave her a hug, and said goodbye, told her that I loved her, and that I would see her again next month.

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

March 21

The Building Block Of Faith

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

How brave an instrument who admits it needs the practice! How brave any seeking entity who admits the need for constant improvement, for constant mindfulness, and for constant seeking.

How firm the faith of one who knows that the gift of the Spirit of Jesus the Christ is given to those who are humble as dust before it. Such humility will not be scattered to the winds. Such humility cannot be trampled upon. Such humility is the building block of faith. Such determination is the foundation of will.

Let each day be a day in which you are prostrate before the infinite Love of Jesus the Christ. For it was in humility to the physical death that Jesus the Christ expressed Love, not in bragging or boasting but in opening the self completely to the will of the one God of all.

Open yourself to that will. Be humble as dust before it. Yet know that you carry it within you, if you are mindful of it.

Let your Light shine through your humility; through your humanity; through the ashes of the life of the mundane world. Heaven may shine through your eyes! The kingdom is that near!

Yet the kingdom shall never shine through the eyes of one who boasts that he knows of the kingdom and has no more to learn. Be humble and faithful, and bow before the Lord God, that, as you rise, you may shine with the eternal Light of unity, Love and peace. 

We leave you in the eternal Love and peace of Jesus the Christ, now and forever. May you be saved by an awareness of this holy Love. Peace be with you. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from July 22, 1984:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We apologize for the delay, but there is one among you who must first make up the mind as to whether the channeling was appropriate at this time. We cannot go where we do not feel that we are called freely, as you know. Therefore, we would gladly wait any amount of your time, and thank you greatly for the pleasure and privilege of speaking with you. Although our thoughts are poor, our hearts are full of gratitude. This instrument is being given a fairly complex concept. However, we wish to make a point this evening which seems to be driven at better this way than any other.

There is a relationship between you and the infinite Creator. This is one of the most general affirmations upon your sphere, spiritually speaking. The only entities who would disagree with this statement are those who believe that there is no Creator, and, therefore, there is no possible relationship. Your philosophers and theologians have said many things about the relationship of humans to the Creator. We would suggest that you examine what occurs when two bluebirds mate. Is not that tiny entity which breaks through the egg a bluebird? Just so, when an acorn falls from an oak tree and germinates, in good time does not the oak tree duplicate itself so that yet another beautiful oak will wave its leafy fingers through the winds. And so, when among your people those who are mated have children, is it not common to say, “Oh, this child takes after the mother and this after the father”? The relationship in all cases is an identity within which uniqueness of each entity is preserved.

And now we have settled your humanity, we shall go on to your relationship with the Creator. There is much to learn from these examples. You may well think of yourselves as children of the Creator, and yet, how are you children of the Creator? Where is your child nature, and what birth have you to show? This is an area which bristles with trouble, my friends, because it is so simple and so straightforward that mankind finds it almost impossible to accept. When we look at the bluebird, we see both the bluebird and the ideal of the bluebird. When we see one acorn, we know that we have seen all acorns in miniature. We trust the identity to continue throughout the species. And we know somehow that the idea and the ideal existed in order to form the first oak tree, the first bluebird, and, for that matter, the first human entity.

In this session Hatonn spoke of our relationship to the infinite Creator. They began by saying there is a relationship between you and the infinite Creator, and this is a general affirmation upon your sphere, spiritually speaking, but the only entities who would disagree with this statement are those who believe that there is no Creator, and there is no possible relationship, for your philosophers and theologians have said many things about the relationship of humans to the Creator, so we would suggest that you examine what occurs when an acorn falls from an oak tree and germinates, for in good time does not the oak tree duplicate itself so that yet another beautiful oak will wave its leafy fingers through the winds, and when those of your people who are mated have children, is it not common to say, “Oh, this child takes after the mother and this child after the father”? Then Hatonn said relationship in all cases is an identity within which uniqueness of each entity is preserved. Hatonn went on to say now we have described your humanity, we shall go on to your relationship with the Creator, for there is much to learn from these examples, and you may well think of yourselves as children of the Creator, yet: “How are you children of the Creator? Where is your child nature, and what birth have you to show?” Then Hatonn said this is an area which bristles with trouble because it is so simple that mankind finds it almost impossible to accept, and when we see one acorn, we know that we have seen all acorns in miniature, so we trust the identity to continue throughout the species, and we know somehow that the idea and the ideal existed in order to form the first oak tree, and the first human entity. On May 12, 1985, Latwii spoke of the ideal way of living our incarnation:

As you look upon your own incarnational pattern of lessons and services, you will see that you have before you a pattern of experience which has the desired result in its foundation to express Love, to express and experience acceptance, to express and experience forgiveness, and so forth with the various characteristics of that energy known as Love. In any such experience, whether it be with the children of whom you speak, with your friends, with acquaintances, or with strangers, you have the ideal constructed within your inner mind in a fashion which is to the best of your ability whole and perfect. To translate this construction of the ideal into the daily experience and those testings of the ideal we have called the firing line or the heat of the battle, is the challenge before you.

The source of these ideas and ideals is the Creator of them, and there is a portion of all things that does not come into manifestation in flesh, or feather, or leaf, but, rather, stays with the Creator, so that that which the Creator has made is in the Creator and the Creator in that which the Creator has made. Therefore, you carry with you an identity with the Creator which is most usually not carried into manifestation. Nevertheless, it is within you, and the relationship is identity. You are the Creator, and the Creator is you. You are also children of the Creator in that you were enabled to begin your journey of consciousness by the Creator and the one original Thought, which is Love.

If then you are children of Love, and, indeed, Love itself, since this is an acceptable alternative term for the Creator, why cannot your gestures and your beings manifest Love? Why is this not the natural? You are identical with the Creator. Why does this nature not prevail? My friends, that which is dear and rare is treasured because it is seldom seen and difficult to find. For most among your people it is ever difficult to find the Creator within. The day distracts the eye and the mind, and the fingers become busy with petty details. Moment upon moment is lost, and the life wears away, the incarnation coming to a close without the person taking hold of the stream of time and making a conscious effort to manifest Love and to express that identity with the Creator. It is for this reason that meditation is so greatly recommended, more especially meditation upon a daily basis, for if you have the habit of silence within, you will the better listen to what one of your holy works has called the still, small voice. The thunder of daily business can drown that still, small voice out very easily if the will of the seeker is not constantly returning to the search for the identity with Love which is the true identity of each and which is all that shall outlast the grave.

Hatonn said that the source of these ideals is the Creator of them, and there is a portion of all things that does not come into manifestation in flesh, or feather, or leaf, but it stays with the Creator, so that which the Creator has made is in the Creator, and the Creator is in that which the Creator has made, and you carry an identity with the Creator which is usually not carried into manifestation, but it is within you, and the relationship is identity, for you are the Creator, and the Creator is you, and you are also children of the Creator in that you were enabled to begin your journey of consciousness by the Creator and the one original Thought, which is Love. Hatonn went on to say you are children of Love itself, since this is an acceptable alternative term for the Creator: “Why cannot your gestures and your beings manifest Love? Why is this not the natural way? You are identical with the Creator. Why does this nature not prevail?” Now Hatonn said that which is dear is treasured because it is difficult to find, for most among your people it is ever difficult to find the Creator within since the day distracts the eye and the mind, and the fingers become busy with petty details, so moments are lost, and the incarnation comes to a close without the person taking hold of the stream of time and making a conscious effort to manifest Love and to express that identity with the Creator, but it is for this reason that meditation is recommended upon a daily basis, for if you have the habit of silence within, you will listen better to what the Bible calls the still, small voice, yet the thunder of daily business can drown that still, small voice out easily if the will of the seeker is not constantly returning to the search for the identity with Love which is the true identity of each and which is all that shall outlast the grave. On September 8, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the still, small voice:

This is the central question of this meeting, for it has been asked of us when and how to know that still, small voice, and it is this voice that we could suggest that one listen to in order to know those times when it is appropriate to jump, and those times when it is appropriate to wait. Thus, in all situations in which there is doubt it is our recommendation that one practice meditation. Meditate upon the action or inaction, for as long as it is necessary for you to hear that voice and to feel that impulse in one direction or the other. As we stated previously, it may happen in a moment. It may take a great deal of time, and while this process is going on again, we counsel faith that the process itself, and the action itself, and the entire incarnation will unfold as each should, for this is not a universe in which chance plays a significant part.

To meditate often seems rather difficult. We are aware that this is so. However, the intention to meditate, the setting aside of time for that purpose, the action of attempting to meditate, all of these things add up to an increasing awareness of the sanctity that you carry within you, even if you consider that you do not meditate well. It is not important to meditate well. It is important to desire to meditate well and to continually seek the truth in your meditations, so that you are tuned and carefully aimed at assuming your true personality—that is, Love. Each of you seeks and each of the seekings are in some way flawed at times. We ask you, as you go into meditation, to examine that which you seek, for that which you seek you shall find. If you beckon something it shall come to you. You will get what you want. Therefore, be sure you are asking for what you truly want.

Perhaps the greatest disappointment in many incarnations is the realization that one has gotten what one wished, and the harvest is an unhappy one. Wish well and find yourself worthy to continually seek in the direction of that which you desire. Moving into meditation and moving back out can feel like moving in and out of a cleansing waterfall, that which causes health and healing, compassion, forgiveness and understanding. Let these vibrations stream down upon you as a waterfall would. Open yourself after carefully tuning to the benevolent Love and Light of a universe that is one with you. Yes, my friends, each of you is a fallible, foolish human being, as you call yourselves, and in the light of your own judgment, how cruel you are in your judgment of yourselves, my friends. Love does not so cruelly judge. Therefore, surrender yourselves to the influence of Love. Seek your identity. Begin to recognize who you really are.

Hatonn went on to say to meditate often seems difficult, but the intention to meditate and setting aside of time to meditate adds up to an increasing awareness of the sanctity that you carry within you, even if you consider that you do not meditate well, for it is not important to meditate well, but it is important to desire to meditate well and to continually seek the truth in your meditations, so that you are tuned and carefully aimed at assuming your true personality—that is, Love, so each of you seeks that which is in some way flawed, and we ask you, as you go into meditation, to examine that which you seek, for that which you seek you shall find, and if you seek something you will get what you want, so be sure you are asking for what you truly want. Now Hatonn said the greatest disappointment in many incarnations is the realization that one has gotten what one wished, and the harvest is an unhappy one, so wish well and find yourself worthy to continually seek in the direction of that which you desire, for moving into meditation and moving back out can feel like moving in and out of a cleansing waterfall which causes healing, compassion, and forgiveness, so let these vibrations stream down upon you as a waterfall, and open yourself after carefully tuning to the Love and Light of a universe that is one with you, yet each of you is a foolish human being, and in the light of your own judgment, how cruel you are in your judgment of yourselves, but Love does not cruelly judge, so surrender yourselves to the influence of Love, and seek your identity of who you really are. On November 5, 1981, Hatonn described the nature of our identity:

At this time, we feel the need to share with you the thought of your identity. This identity is very easily lost, for you are strangers in a strange land, as this instrument would put it, dealing with many foolish and petty occasions, words, and thoughts generated by yourself for your learning and by those about you for their learning. This is a confusing density, and we make no bones about it. It is a difficult one in which to remember your identity. But there is, shall we say, a Master and you are His children. And the mark within you is that as His children, you are children of Light. And the Light within you marks you as the Creator’s own. No circumstance, no thought, no behavior, no error, no difficulty, no limitation can remove this mark from your very being, and you rest in the arms of the Creator. There is no moment in eternity when this is not so.

We have greatly enjoyed speaking with you but would wish at this time to leave this instrument. We hail and bless all in the joy of oneness, and we leave you in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. I am known to you as Hatonn. Adonai. Adonai.

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are most happy to be asked to join your group once again and offer our humble service of attempting to answer your queries. May we remind each that our words are but our opinions and our findings which have resulted from our own journey, which we share with you. Take that of value; leave that which has none. May we begin then with the first query?

Carla: Well, I have a question. I’ve often wondered if the Confederation of Planets and angels were two different ways of saying the same thing. Are they?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We blush at so being described but may suggest that, indeed, it is a method of describing those of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator to call them angels as well. The term “angel” or “angelic presence” is a term which is usually reserved for those entities who are of your own planetary influence. This would mean that such an entity would have evolved upon your own planet first and would have achieved those levels of, shall we say, harvestability, and would have chosen to remain with this planetary influence and become that known as an angelic presence, guide, or inner plane teacher which would respond to the call, much as we respond to your call though we are not of your planetary influence. The Confederation of Planets is made up of many entities from many planetary influences including your own, my sister.

May we answer you further?

Carla: Yeah. There aren’t enough people that have been harvested from this density this time around to fill up heaven, as one tends to think of it being, ranks on ranks, and all that. Are some of these holdovers who have decided to go through a whole other octave on the inner plane?

I am Latwii and believe that we grasp the gist of your query. Please query further if we have not. These entities of which we have been speaking, those termed the angel or angelic presence, are those entities which have obtained that level of polarity in service to others which would allow them to proceed forward, shall we say, in their own evolutionary progress if they so choose. It is most usually the case with a positively-polarized entity achieving harvest that the entity will choose to remain with those of its own planetary influence until the cycle of third density has been completed, and those of its kind have been offered the greatest possible opportunity for achieving harvest as well. In some cases, these entities will continue to remain with some portions of the third density of its planet if these entities have not achieved harvest and then remove themselves to another third-density planetary influence for a repetition of those lessons.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Well, that’s what I was driving at, among other things. So, are angels mostly from places like Mars and all different places like that if they were already graduated before they came to this planetary influence?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. And we can assert that this is, indeed, the case with a great portion of those as angelic presences. There are entities which have many planetary influences which have given their populations to your own at the end of their third-density cycle, for their populations were in need of a repetition of that density or grade of experience, and your planetary influence offered that very lesson. Those few who were able to be harvested upon such planets needing a repetition of the cycle have in many cases joined those needing repetition in order to provide whatever assistance is possible in response to a call for such assistance.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: What’s the basic difference between inner planes and outer planes?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. As an entity moves from the, as they have been called, inner plane experiences toward that which is called the outer plane experience, an entity moves from that which might be termed the metaphysical in purity to the physical in purity. This is to say that an entity will be moving from the inner plane of the nonphysical to the outer plane of the physical. The differentiation between these terms and states of being is that of the denseness of Light contained within the inner plane and the denseness of matter and illusion contained in the outer plane.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Then you and angels are both inner plane beings or entities, right?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. For your purposes and according to your perceptions, this is so, yet this is so in a relative manner, for in our own illusion we inhabit a portion of what you may call a higher density, which also has its own so-called outer plane or space/time portion of experience. In your way of perceiving this experience, it would appear that we would be the same as an entity inhabiting the inner planes of your own planetary influence, for both experiences are much more filled with Light than is your own and are much less filled with the manifestation of illusion than is your own.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yeah. Angels, then, are third density, able to graduate to fourth density, therefore virtually fourth density. Is there any possibility that angels or angelic presences—I suspect that you must want to say something different because you keep saying “so-called”—can go further than the beginning of fourth density? Is there further learning possible without leaving the inner planes and reincarnating?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We have prefaced the term, angel and angelic presence, with “so-called” as a modifier for it is quite a large universe that we inhabit, and which your planet finds itself in as well. There are many learning opportunities available to those so-called angelic presences within your planetary influence, and there are many types of angelic presences as well. We have spoken to the majority, and have not spoken of the greater variety of entities which may be perceived as angelic presences. Some are of what you would call a higher density, shall we say, having come to this planetary influence in response to a specific call. Some are of your own planetary influence and remain in the, shall we say, role of angelic presence for the greater portion of their beingness. Some chose to reincarnate and apply their beingness to a physical incarnation in order to be of more service in that manner. There are, as you see, more types of angelic presences than can be adequately described by your language system and your sense of comprehension and our ability to so describe.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

Carla: Just one question, which you probably can’t answer. I’ve been having a lot of trouble this week. Do you have any tips?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister, though you have not spoken it in detail. We can speak in general. To any seeker which feels the difficulty in manifesting those ideals which each seeker holds dear, and by which each seeker attempts to move the self in service to others and along the path of evolution, it is the intention of your being which is of greatest importance as you attempt to be of any service and as you attempt to match the life with the ideal. Each seeker will find the moments of falling short of the ideal, for it is not within the capability of any seeker to match that which is infinite in a finite illusion. It is instead the honor and the duty of each conscious seeker of truth to make whatever effort is possible, to make it with a whole heart, and to accept that which comes from the effort in joy and in thanksgiving for the opportunity which has been met.

Your illusion is one which works quite well, my sister. The purpose of your illusion is to both hide that which is true and reveal enough of that which is true to cause the seeker to move toward that which is true. As you find those times of difficulty in finding and manifesting that which is true in your own life, retire to those places within your being that are silent, gentle, healing, and loving. Whether this be in prayer, meditation, or contemplation, find that place where the One resides. Find that place where you have been before, that place of Love that has no condition, that place of joy at the very opportunity to be where you are and to do what you do, for, indeed, each situation is full of such Love and such joy, for the one Creator resides in full in all at all times, and there is much service to perform, and many lessons to learn in those times of difficulty, these times of testing, that the seeker might then find the greater reserve of strength within its being which it was unaware existed before the seeking and the needing such strength.

Carla asked: “I’ve been having a lot of trouble this week. Do you have any tips?” Latwii replied any seeker which feels the difficulty in manifesting those ideals which each seeker attempts to move the self in service to others it is the intention of your being which is of greatest importance as you attempt to be of service and as you attempt to match the life with the ideal, but each seeker will find moments of falling short of the ideal, for it is not within the capability of any seeker to match that which is infinite in a finite illusion, yet it is the honor and the duty of each conscious seeker of truth to make whatever effort is possible with a whole heart and to accept that which comes from the effort in joy and thanksgiving for the opportunity which has been met. Latwii continued by saying our illusion is one which works well, for the purpose of our illusion is to both hide that which is true and reveal enough of that which is true to cause the seeker to move toward that which is true, so as you find those times of difficulty in finding and manifesting that which is true in your life, retire to those places within your being that are silent, healing, and loving whether this be in prayer, meditation, or contemplation, find that place where the One resides, and find that place where you have been before, that place of Love that has no condition, that place of joy at the opportunity to be where you are and to do what you do, for each situation is full of Love and joy since the Creator resides in full in all at all times, and there is much service to perform, and many lessons to learn in those times of difficulty that the seeker might then find the greater reserve of strength within its being which it was unaware existed before the seeking and the needing such strength. On November 21, 1982, Latwii said that the Creator resides in all things:

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

What we have taken so long to say, my sister, is that there is great virtue in perseverance, great virtue in the attempt, and great …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. We thank you, my sister, as always. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we are aware that there are yet two or three queries which have not found their final form, and which, therefore, we may have the opportunity of attempting a response to at what you would call a later date. We thank each present for allowing us to join your group this evening. It is always a great honor to join the company of those who so ardently seek the truth of their being and journey. Your journeys are at times quite, quite difficult, for the illusion which you inhabit is a most heavy and dense illusion, where that which is fine and light and true and beautiful is often quite unapparent to those who move within a gross physical existence. Yet we would remind each that the real work and fruit of your labors and journey is stored up within what might be called the metaphysical portion of your existence, and you shall not be directly aware of these fruits for most of your conscious incarnation, yet when the journey in this life is finished, it is with great joy that you will look upon those fruits, and with great amazement recognize the real purpose of the incarnation which has been completed. Rejoice, my friends, and know that each labor, each tear, each agonizing moment produces a fruit that is whole and perfect, sweet and loving, and is a great portion of the one Creator. We thank each of you for every effort which you make as seekers of truth. We are those of Latwii, and we leave you now in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai vasu boragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “The time has passed for any one individual to set themselves up as the sole representative of the Spirit of God on Earth. Every person must show forth that same Spirit. If this book can bring to a few the experience of the Spirit of the Lord, then they in turn will be able to go out and help others reach this same experience. The Saviour is the Spirit of the Lord—not a man or a woman. The Saviour is the Spirit of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord must be realized by you and by me individually.

The most that any spiritual teaching or book can accomplish is to lead the student to the realization that there is a kingdom of God within them and then inspire them with the desire to achieve it. The most that a spiritual teacher can do is to open the consciousness of those individuals who look to them, so that they may attain the realization of the Spirit of the Lord. But one teacher, as we have seen in the case of Jesus Christ, could not do this for the entire world—not even for their own disciples, except for the few who were receptive and responsive. Judas is an example of one who did not respond to the Christ. Only those with a deep spiritual hunger can be lifted by spiritual teachers into the God-experience.

Every mystic throughout the ages has succeeded in opening the consciousness of students to the experience of the Spirit of the Lord. In some cases, hundreds received it through their teacher. But the world went on its merry way to destruction because those who reached this high state of consciousness set up a worship of the teacher rather than a practice of the teaching. Everyone who through this work is touched by the Christ should dedicate themselves to opening the consciousness of others in the same way as has been done for them. This they can do by being a witness to the activity of the Christ in their own consciousness, demonstrating to the world that anyone with sufficient interest and devotion may be led to the same experience”

This morning I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow leaves and small branches into piles around my yard. Then I put the small branches and leaves into a garbage can. Then I used my seed spreader to spread five bags of grass seed in my front, side, and back yards.

This afternoon I went to my neighbors’ yard across the street and used my hedge clippers to cut their Tall, Striped Grasses down. Then I put the grasses into four garbage cans, and then I put the garbage cans at the end of my driveway. Then I used my large mower, Venus, to mulch the leaves and stray grasses.

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

March 20

Run With Love

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

How shall the Holy Spirit appear to you this day? What are your needs? For as you express and inwardly feel those spiritual needs, so is the Spirit called to appear, to strengthen, to comfort, and to enable.

Is it energy and will that you need? Then experience the force that produces these words as flames of divine and enabling fire, energizing and enlivening.

Must you run the straight race very quickly today? Must you hasten and hurry? Crowd your day, then, but open your heart that Love may run with you; that Love may hasten, and hurry, and worry, and fret in comfortable companionship with that state of mind you choose for yourself.

Are you in grief, in sorrow, and in despair? Call, then and open within to the divine Comforter, to the nurturer and Lover of all souls.

There is no condition in which the Spirit of Love cannot enter and heal. There is no activity in which the Spirit of divine Love and compassion cannot enable, enliven, and strengthen.

The Spirit of Love is an active, plastic, malleable, universal expression of the absolute presence of divine Love in each soul, everywhere, always, in every moment.

May you find peace that you are not alone, be you hastening, resting or weeping. Always there is the Comforter.

We leave you in this reassurance, this knowledge, of Love and peace unending. Amen.

This afternoon I went across the street to another neighbors’ yard and used my hedge clippers to cut down their tall striped grasses. Then I put the grasses into two garbage cans, and then I put the garbage cans at the end of my driveway.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from July 15, 1984:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We are strengthening our hold upon this instrument in order that we may speak more loudly, for this instrument is used to speaking quietly, and we find that not all were able to hear the previous sentences. We trust this level is appropriate for this portion of your dwelling. We thank you for asking us to share some of our thoughts with you on this very beautiful twilight of your third-density world.

How lovely is your habitation, and how gracious are your second-density creatures, your birds singing to the evening in the trees, the trees themselves lifting their fingers to the last rays of the sun as it bids farewell for one more day. How quietly your dwelling place rests and cradles you, so that you may have comfort, and protection, and shelter. And in a way we can see how these things could almost be taken as evidence that the universe is rigid, for the house does not move; it does not get up and dance; nor do the trees seem to clap their hands for joy; nor are the bird’s songs construed by your people as chantries of happiness. Rather, it is the expected, and it is the unnoticed, and in many cases it may seem to be the prison within which you must live, which does not seem to have enough choices nor give you enough freedom.

There was once a young boy who searched for freedom. He felt the restrictions of his parents as they asked him to do many chores and to live up to many expectations, many of which he was unable to fulfill, some of which he was. Yet he did not wish to differentiate between what he could and could not do. He simply wished to be free from all the expectations and from all the responsibility. And so, this young man left his home and went out into the world to seek freedom. He quickly discovered that it was wise to furnish oneself with enough of your people’s money so that he could buy those things which made him happy, and so he began to accumulate the accoutrements of freedom. He had drinks that would make him feel very happy. He tried various chemicals that altered his consciousness and made him feel ecstasy. He chose among the pretty young girls and found sexual fulfillment to add to him happiness also. He bought the clothes that he liked, he lived the way that he liked, and for a while he was very happy because he had found his freedom.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the beauty of our environment and how a young boy left home to participate in the world around him. Hatonn began by saying how lovely is your habitation, and how gracious are your second-density creatures, your birds singing to the evening in the trees, the trees lifting their fingers to the last rays of the sun as it bids farewell for one more day, and how quietly your dwelling cradles you, so that you may have comfort, protection, and shelter, and we can see how these things could be taken as evidence that the universe is rigid, for the house does not move; it does not get up and dance; nor do the trees seem to clap their hands for joy; nor are the bird’s songs seen by your people as songs of happiness, but it is the prison within where you must live, which does not have enough choices nor give you enough freedom. Hatonn went on to say there was once a young boy who searched for freedom since he felt the restrictions of his parents as they asked him to do many chores and to live up to many expectations, many of which he was unable to fulfill, some of which he was, yet he did not wish to choose between what he could and could not do, so he wished to be free from all the expectations, so this young man left his home and went out into the world to seek freedom, and he discovered that it was wise to furnish himself with enough of money, so that he could buy those things which made him happy, and he began to accumulate the qualities of freedom, so he had drinks that would make him feel happy and chemicals that made him feel ecstasy, and he chose among the pretty young girls and found sexual fulfillment to add to him happiness, for he bought the clothes that he liked; he lived the way that he liked; and for a while he was very happy because he had found his freedom. On February 7, 1993, Q’uo spoke of the nature of freedom:

However, we would ask each to reflect upon freedom, the freedom of the self, and attempt to see where this freedom comes from. If one is free in a chaotic way, one will either be random or somewhat destructive, rather than somewhat positive. However, if a deeper singularity of self is sought, a deeper connection with unity, then many puzzled pieces which are not relevant to your decision-making can fall away, and the true nature of the decision lies then uncovered in far more simplicity. The connection between freedom and the basic decision of serving the infinite One shall give your heart a strong structure and the best possible way to seek the understanding to move forward in support of your own spiritual evolution. Because this is far from obvious, we simply wish to emphasize this consideration.

There came a time when no drink made him truly happy, when no repetition of mind-altering drugs was enough to fulfill his needs for understanding, and even when no pretty girl could charm him completely, as he gazed only upon the outward portions, knowing nothing of the individual inside. And yet, he had formed his life around the premise that these things constituted freedom, and so he realized that he must reevaluate what freedom is, for one thing he was sure of, and that was that freedom carried with it a side effect, and that was happiness. Upon reflection he realized that he had bonded himself in slavery to his own desires. Because those desires were not interesting for the maturing soul within, he had begun to get restless, yet still he must work even to eat and to have a place to sleep. He was in bondage, therefore, to a job he did not particularly like, and had even walked into that bondage gladly, finding it preferable to meeting the demands of other human beings. He had given himself all that he wanted, and he had lost his freedom.

This young man was truly puzzled, and so he began to search within himself for the desires that he might have that which would be more interesting, that would make his bondage easier, for, indeed, he was in bondage to his appetite for food and for daily rest. These things he could not do without unless he was willing to risk the life of a person upon the street. This he was not willing to do; this freedom was too chaotic for him, and yet he wanted freedom. He knew that it existed and he was positive of its virtue. Restless, often angry, this man grew in years, and took long to find his own answers. He began trying to see beneath the surface of things. He began putting down his personal roots out of instinct more than any knowledge. He found and eventually married a woman whose thoughts he preferred, and in time a family grew, the son now becoming the father, the child the husband, and once again he was asked to be responsible for much, far much more than he had been asked to be responsible for as a child. And again, there were expectations he could fulfill and there were expectations he could not fulfill.

Now Hatonn said there came a time when no drink made him happy, when no repetition of mind-altering drugs was enough to fulfill his needs for understanding, and no pretty girl could charm him, so as he gazed upon the outward portions, knowing nothing of the individual inside, yet he had formed his life around the idea that these things created freedom, and he realized that he must reevaluate what freedom is, for he was sure that freedom carried with it a side effect, and that was happiness, but upon reflection he realized that he had bonded himself in slavery to his own desires, for those desires were not interesting for the maturing soul within, so he had begun to get restless, yet he must work to eat and to have a place to sleep, so he was in bondage to a job he did not like, and he had walked into that bondage gladly, finding it preferable to meeting the demands of other human beings, so he had given himself all that he wanted, and he had lost his freedom. Hatonn continued by saying he was puzzled, and he began to search within himself for the desires that he might have that would be more interesting, that would make his bondage easier, for he was in bondage to his appetite for food and for daily rest, but these things he could not do without unless he was willing to risk the life of a person upon the street, but this he was not willing to do, for this freedom was too chaotic for him, yet he wanted freedom since he knew that it existed, and he was positive of its virtue, yet often angry, this man grew in years, and took long to find his own answers, so he began trying to see beneath the surface of things, and he began putting down his personal roots out of instinct more than any knowledge, yet he found and married a woman whose thoughts he preferred, and in time a family grew, the son now becoming the father, and once again he was asked to be responsible for more than he had been asked to be responsible for as a child, but again, there were expectations he could fulfill, and there were expectations he could not fulfill. On October 15, 2015, Q’uo spoke about the nature of our expectations:

We will begin by suggesting that for most of you, the nature of the mind of the world is quite well known, for each of you has been, shall we say, enculturated with this mind, for it is the means by which entities of your various countries, cities, and regions are made familiar with the expectations of a growing being within your culture, or any culture, for that matter, my friends. This is the means by which the mass mind of the population of your culture is passed on to each succeeding generation so that there is a certain kind of order available to the entire culture, the expectations of which are specifically transmitted by those closest to you, those being your parental entities, your teachers, your friends, neighbors, and so forth. In this day and age, this is accomplished quite successfully by the increasing use of the electronic media which ensures that the message of conformity is well spread, shall we say, and taken into the mind complex which is processed through the physical brain.

As the years passed, it became very evident to this man that he had found his freedom, for he had found things to love. He found that it was possible with communication to express the difference between those things he could do and those things he could not, and that he had chosen a woman who was able to release him from those things he could not do and to praise him in gratitude for those things he could do. He found himself asking a great many things of his wife and his children, and in wonderment began to find himself a culprit in expecting too much from others, in failing to differentiate between what they could do and what they could not do. My friends, each human who incarnates upon your planet will experience a bewildering array of stimuli. To each of you many things are given and from each of you other things are hidden. Each of you is unique, a mystery one to the other, and misunderstandings are inevitable and each person feels the prison walls close in, begins to feel as rooted as a tree, their song as aimless as that of a bird, and in many cases this song becomes still and the person bitter as an oak leaf upon the ground.

We ask you, my friends, to look upon freedom. You have one freedom, and that is that you may choose the manner of your being. The more that your being has to do with Love, the more your manifestation will be service, service to those whom you love. This is a reflection of your loving, not the loving itself. Each service that you perform for others is a stride along the road of freedom. Each time that you choose the manner of your beingness you offer yourself a great bonus. It is inevitable that there are times when the happenstances of your existence will seem anything but potentially free, when that which you seem to be asked to offer is beyond you. You each have two capacities; one is human. When you deal from the human capacity—and this is, my friends, often in even the life of a saint—then there are many times when you must say in honesty, “I cannot do what you wish me to. Forgive me, I am not able.”

Hatonn went on to say as the years passed, it became clear to this man that he had found his freedom, for he had found things to Love, and he found that it was possible with communication to express the difference between those things he could do and those things he could not, and that he had chosen a woman who was able to release him from those things he could not do and to praise him in gratitude for those things he could do, so he found himself asking many things of his wife and his children, and in wonderment began to find himself guilty in expecting too much from others, for each human who incarnates upon your planet will experience an array of stimuli, for to each of you many things are given, and from each of you other things are hidden, yet each of you is unique, a mystery one to the other, and misunderstandings are inevitable, and each person feels their song as aimless as that of a bird, and in many cases this song becomes still and the person bitter as an oak leaf upon the ground. Then Hatonn said we ask you to look upon freedom, for you have one freedom, and that is that you may choose the manner of your being, so the more that your being has to do with Love, the more your manifestation will be service to those whom you Love, and this is a reflection of your Loving, not the Loving itself, so each service that you perform for others is a stride along the road of freedom because each time that you choose the manner of your beingness you offer yourself a bonus, but it is inevitable that there are times when the nature of your existence will seem anything but free, so when that which you seem to be asked to offer is beyond you, you have two capacities, and one is human, for when you deal from the human capacity there are times when you must say: “I cannot do what you wish me to. Forgive me, I am not able.” On July 21, 1991, Q’uo spoke about the nature of our being:

In the silence of your meditation you reach as fully and firmly as you can to grasp the essence of that quality that you experience and bring it forth into your life as the attitude of your beingness, and attempt to see, and feel, and be, and touch, and smell, and experience, and share the one Creator that you find within, in whatever way is open to you. However well or poorly you may proceed at each moment that you experience in a conscious fashion you offer in every instance of opportunity, and although you shall not fully succeed at all times or even in a majority of your attempts, it is the perseverance, the dedication, the continual reminders that you see about you, and that you give to yourself, then, that are the refining qualities of the fire of experience that is yours within your evolution. Seeing but glimpses of the one wishing to know more purely, sharing but partially, becoming weary with effort, pulling together the desire again and again, it is this desire that is your most honored ally upon this journey.

There is another capacity within you, and when you call upon it and are able to become a channel for it so that Love flows through you, you may become an infinitely efficient instrument that may manifest that which is desired under any circumstances whatsoever. To do this you must put yourself at risk. Before you gain a clear channel, you may lose much, for true freedom is a great risk. True freedom, my friends, involves deep choices, and when the choices are made, a clear and lucid accountability to yourself comes forth. You often must put your foot upon ground you cannot see because you have been asked to do so either by a spirit within you of Love and fellowship, or by a specific request by one who is in relationship to you. You are asked to see Love in moments where there seems to be none, and you step out, seeing nothing, and somehow, my friends, the air begins to be solid and you have ground beneath your feet that you could not see before. The risk is in the choice. Each choice must be true, and you must have the patience to wait for the truth of your seeking to manifest.

As we said, during that time you may feel that you have lost much. You change, you grow, you bear fruit, and often, my friends, the fruit that you are asked to bear does not even make sense in one way or another. Those who will harvest what you sow are unknown to you in some way. The virtue of planting a crop of Love and thanksgiving is completely hidden, and yet you choose. Freedom, my friends, is a risky business. We suggest that you aid your own evolution of spirit by daily meditation, by daily contemplation, by daily analysis of your thoughts to the extent that you are able in your environment. What you seek when you seek happiness is an illusion. What you seek when you seek freedom may or may not be an illusion. If you seek freedom from responsibility, you have created a dream within a dream, and you shall be a slave and no free man. When the freedom that you seek is the freedom to Love and to serve, you stand on firm ground—not safe ground, my friends, for to Love is not easy, to serve is most difficult, to communicate is treacherous, to share deeply of yourself is painful, and yet, Love abides and draws you to it, for you are that which Loves and that which is Love. You are both sides of the magnet which is the creation. The great attractive force is the same force that created you, and that force is Love.

Now Hatonn said there is another capacity within you, and when you are able to become a channel for it so that Love flows through you, you may become an efficient instrument that may manifest that which is desired under any circumstances, but to do this you must put yourself at risk, so before you gain a clear channel, you may lose much, for true freedom involves deep choices, and when the choices are made, a clear and lucid accountability to yourself comes forth, yet you must put your foot upon ground you cannot see because you have been asked to do so either by a spirit within you of Love or by a specific request by one who is in relationship to you, for you are asked to see Love in moments where there seems to be none, and you step out, seeing nothing, and somehow the air begins to be solid, and you have ground beneath your feet that you could not see before, and the risk is in the choice, but each choice must be true, and you must have patience to wait for the truth of your seeking to manifest. Now Hatonn said during that time you feel that you have lost much as you grow, and you bear fruit, and the fruit that you are asked to bear does not make sense since those who will harvest what you sow are unknown to you, but the virtue of planting a crop of Love is  hidden, yet you choose, but freedom is a risky business, so we suggest that you aid your evolution of spirit by daily meditation and by daily analysis of your thoughts to the extent that you are able in your environment, for what you seek when you seek happiness is an illusion, but what you seek when you seek freedom may or may not be an illusion, so if you seek freedom from responsibility you have created a dream within a dream, and you shall be a slave,  for when the freedom that you seek is the freedom to Love and to serve, you stand on firm ground—not safe ground, for to Love is not easy, to serve is most difficult, to communicate is treacherous, and to share deeply of yourself is painful, yet Love abides and draws you to it, for you are that which Loves and that which is Love, so you are both sides of the magnet which is the creation, yet the attractive force is the same force that created you, and that force is Love. On January 22, 1995, Q’uo described the nature of Love:

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.

Do you wish to be free? Then prepare yourself for a bumpy ride through life, but a joyous one, for when you give and count not the cost, you purchase that which has no price. It is written in your holy works: “You who sow in tears shall reap in joy.” May your tears be blessed, may your joy be great, and may your seeking be filled with the Love and the Light which are the manifestations of the one infinite Creator which speaks through us to you and from you to us, echoing and re-echoing over and over the great rhythms of thanksgiving. My friends, the trees do clap their hands, and the birds do sing for joy, and this dwelling place is not static but rather a nurturing and living environment, and you within it are also Love. You have two things not given to houses and trees and birds. You have movement, and you have self-consciousness. May you find freedom in your movements, may you go in peace to serve and to Love in whatever way the day has called forth for you. You do not know what tomorrow will call forth for you; you only know what is asked today. Therefore, we ask you to attempt to serve in the present tense, to bend your motions, your thoughts, intellectual and emotional, to the present moment and the present movement, the present dynamic, the present people, the present situation.

You have self-consciousness. What shall you do with your awareness? We trust that you may find in your adventures much about which to laugh and comrades with whom to share the laughter, and in the darkest moment we ask you to use your self-awareness to seek the kingdom of God that is within you and that will inform you in a loving and gracious way so that you may, indeed, manifest that which you wish, so that you may indeed have understanding and knowledge or, in the absence of that, hope and faith. You may depend upon each other, and yet always remember, each is limited, and each may have trouble communicating their limitations. Depend first upon the Creator, and seek that Creator constantly within yourself in quiet and in confidence, for you seek only to remember, you seek only to return, and just as you give to another’s harvest, so others will sow for you that you may reap joy from them. How surprised you are to find joy in the narrow span of life, and how unsurprised you are to find sorrow. May you be surprised constantly, my friends.

Then Hatonn said if you wish to be free, then prepare yourself for a bumpy ride through life, but a joyous one, for when you give and count not the cost, you purchase that which has no price, so it is written in your Bible: “You who sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Now Hatonn said may your tears be blessed; may your joy be great; and may your seeking be filled with the Love and the Light which are the manifestations of the one infinite Creator which speaks through us to you and from you to us, echoing over the great rhythms of thanksgiving, for the trees clap their hands, and the birds sing for joy, and this dwelling place is a nurturing and living environment, and you within it are also Love, but you have two things not given to houses, trees, and birds, so you have movement, and you have self-consciousness, so may you find freedom in your movements as you go in peace to serve and to Love in whatever way the day has called forth for you, but you do not know what tomorrow will call forth for you, for you only know what is asked today, and we ask you to attempt to serve in the present tense, to bend your intellectual and emotional thoughts to the present moment, the present dynamic, and the present people. Hatonn continued by saying you have self-consciousness, and we trust that you may find in your adventures much about which to laugh and comrades with whom to share the laughter, and in the darkest moment we ask you to use your self-awareness to seek the kingdom of God that is within you because that will inform you in a loving way, so that you may manifest that which you wish, and you may have understanding and knowledge or, in the absence of that, hope and faith, for you may depend upon each other, yet always remember each is limited, and each may have trouble communicating their limitations, so depend first upon the Creator, and seek that Creator constantly within yourself in quiet and in confidence, for you seek only to remember; you seek only to return, and just as you give to another’s harvest, so others will sow for you that you may reap joy from them, yet how surprised you are to find joy in the narrow span of life, and how unsurprised you are to find sorrow, so may you be surprised constantly. On April 10, 1988, Q’uo spoke about the nature of hope and faith:

Thus, each thought and action within your illusion is achieved in intensity and purity by the limitation of the viewpoint, and at the expense of the wider point of view. Yet, there are those times between the incarnation when the wider point of view is brought to bear in order that that which has been learned in previous experiences might be the foundation for that which awaits the learning in future incarnational experience. Thus, each seeker of truth within your illusion is as the one upon the long journey through darkness with but a small candle to light the way, seeing only what is within the light given off by the candle of hope and faith. And within such a circumstance can those fine adjustments of perception be made that aid the seeker to take each small step upon this great journey.

We leave you in the Love and in the Light, in the joy, and the laughter, and the unity of our infinite creation. Again, we thank you for allowing us to share our foolish thoughts with you, and ask you in all humility to never take anyone’s word for anything spiritual, least of all ours. Do not depend upon Hatonn, or any other spiritual source, but only yourself. You are the evaluator of all that you hear. Much may be nothing to you. There is no promise of sureness to the spiritual path, only the promise of great and continuing risk of an enormous vulnerability, of a sensitivity that will be with you always as you seek to learn. We are with you on that path, vulnerable, foolish, and at the same time, perfect, perfected in Love and one with the Creator. We are those of Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and we greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are pleased to be asked to join your group once again and rejoice at the opportunity of providing our humble service. We thank you, as always. Now, to that service. May we attempt a query at this time?

[Side one of tape ends.]

Carla: I have a question generated by the preceding message. On what level does a bird sing for joy, or do trees clap their hands? I thought birds just chirped because they were giving signals about being hungry or looking for a mate or something like that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We may suggest that those creatures of which you speak sing for joy and clap their hands for joy at the very basic level of their being, at the same level at which each portion of creation sings, and claps, and dances, and rejoices in its beingness. At this level, which you may see as the very nature of the being, the substance of the molecular structure, there is the clear recognition of the One by the One and as this level of being is brought into a more and more conscious being, it becomes more and more, shall we say, comprehensible by your third-density means of comprehension. When the bird sings, it may, indeed, be acting out that ritualized process of seeking the mate or defending the territory, yet the energy which powers that song and that ritual is the very essence of the entity’s being, and in that essence and upon that level the song of life rejoices in life.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: So, for a human being at the nuclear level, the self and the body are in a state of rejoicing? Is that right?

I am Latwii, and you are quite correct, my sister. May we answer you further?

Carla: Illness is so prevalent among human beings. If a human being could contact that level of joy, it seems to me that healing would be self-generated instantly. Is that correct?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find again that you have struck at the heart of the matter, for it is the nature of the one Creator to heal when asked by the entity needing healing, and all remedies which we take and seek from outside the being have their effect only insofar as the entity seeking the healing has been able in some degree to contact this level of rejoicing, this level of the one Creator that is contained within the entity’s own being.

May we answer you further?

Carla: How does a person contact that portion of his consciousness?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We see that you are approaching the age-old question of the seeker from yet another angle, for the answer that we give is one which you have heard many times. The journey which each seeker is upon is one which has been described as straight and narrow, yet it is one which is traveled over many a rocky path, a journey which has many twists and turns, a journey across which blow harsh winds and down upon which shines a searing sun. There is the need of each seeker to accomplish that which may be called the crystallization of the being, the balancing of all distortion, the purifying of the desire to serve others and to seek Love.

This is an easy statement to make, yet it is a difficult journey and task to undertake. Yet, as Love is found in each portion of the being the path is made straighter; another rock is removed; and another step is taken; yet at each moment each seeker has some access to this portion of its being, yet upon what might be called the unconscious level. It is this unconscious connection with the one Creator that rejoices in each cell of being that supports the seeker as it consciously moves in what it sees as darkness. Yet, as Love and Light are found, the darkness is illumined and the connection becomes more and more conscious, so the seeker is able to heal the self more and more effectively with the Love and Light that it has found by its own efforts.

Carla asked: “How does a person contact that portion of his consciousness?” Latwii replied we see that you are approaching the age-old question of the seeker from yet another angle, for the answer that we give is one which you have heard many times, so the journey which each seeker is upon is one which has been described as straight and narrow, yet it is one which is traveled over many a rocky path, a journey which has many twists and turns, a journey across which blow harsh winds and down upon which shines a searing sun, for there is the need of each seeker to accomplish the crystallization of the being, the balancing of all distortion, the purifying of the desire to serve others and to seek Love. Latwii went on to say this is an easy statement to make, yet it is a difficult journey to undertake, yet as Love is found in each portion of the being the path is made straighter; another rock is removed; and another step is taken; yet at each moment each seeker has some access to this portion of its being upon the unconscious level, for it is this unconscious connection with the one Creator that rejoices in each cell of being that supports the seeker as it consciously moves in what it sees as darkness, yet as Love and Light are found, the darkness is illumined, and the connection becomes more conscious, so the seeker is able to heal the self more effectively with the Love and Light that it has found by its own efforts. On April 25, 1982, Latwii described how to heal the self:

Any ailment, be it physical, mental, or even that known as spiritual, has a lesson to teach. The lesson most generally has to do with the acceptance of the creation, some aspect of yourself, some aspect of the creation with which one is intimately concerned. Certain ailments reflect those lessons which have been programmed before the incarnation to serve as, shall we say, training aids so that the entity might not forget the need to learn that lesson. Other ailments are, when in the physical vehicle, simply symbolic representations of the frame of mind which has not yet been able to accept a portion of itself. In each case the injunction to heal the self is another means of saying to the self that there is some portion of the self that needs to be accepted as part of the self, whole, and perfect, and when this acceptance is made deep within the heart of the being, then the entity shall realize the unity of that portion with the self and with all creation and shall be healed of that known as the ailment which served to point out that which needed to be accepted.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: When we stopped the Ra work, we had been concentrating on the archetypes, and I wondered if the archetypical mind was as deep in the mind as this cellular, nuclear, joyous consciousness. In other words, could one use the hints and clues of the archetypes to reach that which was at the same level, or are you using tools when you use the archetypes that are of a level not as deep in the roots of mind as nuclear consciousness?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is not an easy query to answer, yet we shall attempt such. That which you have described as the nuclear awareness of the oneness and joy of all creation is ever present within each cell of your being and within each moment of your existence. It permeates all that is and all that is not created. It is the sum and substance of the one Creator. There are various tools which seem separated from this nature of awareness which might be used to reveal and uncover this nature of awareness to the seeker, yet within each tool is also found that same joy and unity of being. You may, indeed, proceed upon this path by utilizing those concept complexes called archetypes to gain a greater understanding, if we might use this misnomer, of the joy and unity which is within all things and situations, yet do not be confused or misled by mechanics. Seek the heart of all creation and the heart of your own being first and foremost within your thoughts and actions, and utilize any mechanical means of seeking by focusing always upon the heart of the desire.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that for the nonce we have exhausted the queries, and would be well advised for the comfort of the instrument to take this opportunity to bid this group farewell for the evening. We thank each of you, as always, for asking our humble service, and we remind you that our words are but our opinions and are the result of our journey, a journey which we share with each of you, a journey in joy and a journey in Light and Love. We thank you, my friends, and shall leave you at this time. We are with you always upon request. We are those of Latwii. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus.

The quote from The Art of Meditation today is: “Spiritual unfoldment must begin with one—always one. It has to begin in the consciousness of one person. That consciousness could just as well be yours; that consciousness could as well be mine. It all depends upon the degree in which we come into the realization of the Christ. The realized, risen Christ, active in one person, becomes a potent force in the entire world. At any given moment there may be a receptive person in some hospital, in a prison cell, on a battlefield, in high political office or low, someone anywhere in the world crying out, “O God, can you help me? Is there a God to help Me?” Wherever or whenever there is a reaching out to God, there the realized Christ is in Its fullness. No one can fully apprehend the widespread effect of the realized Christ when It is loosed in the world. There is no way of knowing how many people have had healings–mental, physical, moral, and financial—by the very act of reaching out to the Unknown, and, thereby touching this very Christ, which has been released in meditation by you or by me.

It is for this reason that I have been asking our students in The Infinite Way to devote one meditation period each day to God alone—not for themselves, their families, their business, their patients, or their students, but for God alone. In other words, we reserve one period for a meditation in which we go to God with clean hands:

Father, I seek nothing. I come to You in the same spirit in which I would go to my mother were my mother available, for communion, just for Love. You are the Father and Mother of my being. You are the Source of my life. You are the Soul of me, the Spirit of me. I have no favors to ask of You. I come to You for the joy of communion, to feel the assurance of Your hand in mine, the touch of Your finger on my shoulder—just to be in Thy Presence.

The realized, demonstrated presence of God is the Saviour of the world.”

Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop at Walmart to buy a lamp. My second stop was at Feeders’ Supply to buy some bird seed and cat food. My third stop was at Krogers to buy some food for myself. My fourth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy more food for myself. My fifth stop was at Speedway Gas to fill Stanley’s tires with air. My sixth stop was at Ace Hardware to buy some spray that I could use to kill the weeds in the Moss Garden without killing the moss. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription and to buy some Kleenexes.

This afternoon I used my garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters for the pump in the fishpond. Then I began pumping out about half of the water, and while the water was being pumped out, I put the Tall Striped Grasses that I cut down yesterday into three garbage cans, and then I put the garbage cans at the end of the driveway. When half of the water was pumped out of the fishpond I began refilling the pond with water. Then I sprayed the spray on the weeds in The Moss Garden. After the pond was full of water I put three cups of AquaSafe in the pond to neutralize the chlorine in the water.                      

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

March 19

Instead Of Judgment

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

The tongue of the pilgrim is often swift to judge the thoughts and actions of the self and others. This is understandable because the pilgrim is greatly concerned with distinguishing true paths from false leads which seem promising at first, yet meander off in unhelpful directions.

However, judgment creates a relationship which is not of the Spirit of Love between the one who judges and the one who is judged. Love does not cause such a separation and such a relationship.

And thus, it is that the pilgrim may find himself much confused in attempting to place the moral impulse into logical settings. The spirit of Christ would offer, instead of judgment, a warm compassion and gentle mercy which acknowledges the infinite mystery of the pilgrim’s heart and the infinite mystery of Christ’s Love.

Seek first compassion and mercy, and by the time these attitudes have furnished the pilgrim with information concerning a situation, the pilgrim may well find that even the impulse to judge has been healed and the pilgrim is at peace, resting in mystery and Love.

Judgment there shall be, but not as the pilgrim may think. For judgment shall be a peaceful thing, and no pilgrim shall feel slighted or bruised by the compassionate and merciful judgment of the Creator, who wishes only to bring all things into unity once again, a unity bonded and bounded in Love and peace.

In that happy estate we leave you, now and always.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling for this session comes from July 8, 1984:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we are pleased, as always, to greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are most honored to be able to join your group this evening, and we are pleased to be able to speak through this instrument. We are filled with joy as we join you this evening, and are filled with the Love that is so overflowing this evening. We wish to spend a few moments of your time as we attempt to share a few thoughts with you. We are aware of the abundance of confusion that those upon your planet experience. It seems that when one finds itself in a so-called ball of confusion, the escaping this ball is often difficult, for often the confusion has a tendency to feed itself, and we might suggest that at those times when you find yourselves somewhat enclosed by this bubble, you take a moment of your time to sit down and relax and close your eyes and see yourself rising to the top of the bubble and turning into a form of gaseous light and entirely escaping, and in so escaping, you might see the confusion for what it is. It is not real, it is a—we correct this instrument—it is an illusion, and you may at any moment escape to your meditative state and find yourself in the palm of the Creator where the confusion is no longer apparent.

The ability to look down upon the confusion rather than sitting in the middle of it might aid you in collecting your thoughts and seeking the simple truth, and in seeking the oneness of the Creator, you might find that all that is confusion simply falls away, for the one Thought may not be confused, it is a simple Thought. There is no confusion to this Thought. To put yourself in the palm of the Creator is to seek that which is One, that which is unity, and dwell, my dear friends, in the Love of that oneness.

We wish to express our appreciation to this instrument for bearing with us and allowing us to spend a larger amount of time than usual with her. We would transfer this contact at this time. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again through this instrument in Love and in Light. It is a great privilege to use each instrument, and we do thank each and thank you for calling us and allowing us to share our thoughts with you. Those of you who call us are confused, troubled, and disturbed. My friends, it is quite often those who do not call us, and are not yet ready to listen to what we have to say, that are not at all disturbed, confused, or troubled by the mysteries of those things which are evident to anyone with their eyes open. For this reason, let us tell you a bit about our own feelings about our mission at this time among your people.

We attempted earlier in what you would call your century to contact individuals, governments, societies, and people of influence because we were quite aware that this particular third-density planet was not only ready for harvest, but was also capable of a great deal of destruction, and by this we refer to the atomic bomb as you have called it. We found our attempts to be far less than satisfactory. We found that those in power among your people were not those people whom we indeed needed to contact. We found that our concepts, our very being, had a different meaning for them than for those who are seeking. We found that you have developed within your planetary societal web a system of unfriendly companions, each of which chose to put the heart of the sphere with which they identified above the care of the whole of the sphere with which we identify.

That is not our hometown, or our county as this instrument would call it, nor our state, or province, or parish, or country, or nation. We are those of a planetary consciousness. We speak to those who realize that there is one consciousness, and that this consciousness is equally available and useful to all those upon your planet. We have chosen to serve in the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator by sharing our thoughts with groups such as your own who call out to us. This is our service and our pleasure, and our beings thrill with the joy of being able to serve you, for you are ourselves. Just so, my friends, you are we, and we all are the Creator. To put it in quite another way, the unimaginable vastness and complexity of the universe is honed on the sharpness of the one Thought and that is Love. That word, Love, has been greatly harmed by overuse among your people, so that when we say that all is Love, it may not mean what we wish it to mean. Therefore, we try to find infinitely various ways of saying that all is Light, that all is One, that all is the Creator, that all that you have to do within your illusion is serve each other, for in serving each other you serve the Creator.

In this session Hatonn wanted to share their thoughts about the difficulties on our planet, and what their solution was to solve these difficulties. They began by saying we attempted earlier in your century to contact individuals and governments because we were aware that this third-density planet was not only ready for harvest, but it was also capable of a great deal of destruction  by the use of the atomic bomb, but we found our attempts to be less than satisfactory because we found that those in power among your people were not those people whom we needed to contact, for we found that our concepts, our very being, had a different meaning for them than for those who are seeking, and we found that you have developed within your planetary societal web a system of unfriendly companions, each of which chose to put the heart of the planet with which they identified above the care of the whole of the sphere with which we identify. Then Hatonn said that is not our country as Carla would call it, for we are those of a planetary consciousness, and we speak to those who realize that there is one consciousness, and that this consciousness is equally available and useful to all those upon your planet, and we have chosen to serve in the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator by sharing our thoughts with groups such as your own who call out to us, so this is our service and our pleasure, and our beings thrill with the joy of being able to serve you, for you are ourselves, yet you are we, and we all are the Creator, yet to put it another way, the unimaginable vastness of the universe is honed on the sharpness of the one Thought of Love, but that word, Love, has been harmed by overuse among your people, so that when we say that all is Love, it may not mean what we wish it to mean, so we try to find various ways of saying that all is Light, that all is One, that all is the Creator, that all that you have to do within your illusion is serve each other, for in serving each other you serve the Creator. On March 19, 2011, Q’uo said that when we serve each other we serve the Creator:

Your people have banded together in spiritually oriented groups whose goals are to serve the Creator by serving each other. The tribe of humankind is more and more awakening to the possibilities of the evolution of the spirit. And this increasing desire to serve has brought people together into groups that respond to the less fortunate developments upon your planet with the balm of their Light, and their prayers, and their loving thoughts. We, indeed, thank those who are engaged in such groups and who are proactively sending Light and Love to all those places and all those entities who need the balm of that Light and that Love.

We wish to move back now to the confusion of which we spoke earlier. This confusion is a tool, much like a saw or a hammer. It is the thing which you may grasp about yourself and about your life at any given moment; normally it is confusion. You use a saw to saw wood; you use a hammer to nail things together. You use your confusion to work upon yourself, for you in the midst of that confusion are waiting to learn from that confusion. You are waiting for that trouble to bubble up until you escape, look back, and learn from your experience. The rapidity with which you learn from this experience, from this confusion, will depend upon your willingness to work with yourself. But at least, my friends, you have the sense to be confused. You are not asleep; you are not dreaming; you are not distracted in the half world in which nothing is very important, and no question is truly worth answering. To these people we cannot offer any help whatsoever. These people shall again and again experience this illusion until they become aware of the process that is shaping their destinies.

We do not suggest to you that a, shall we say, “trouble bubble” is an easy thing to completely and utterly solve, to rise above, to understand. We say only to you that the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator is with you in your attempts to balance your confusions, to gain objectivity and to learn. What a fine tool confusion is, my friends. What a wonderful illusion you have. We are aware that you would prefer the security of simple rules, and there is one simple rule, and that is to Love wholly and freely and without reserve. But, my friends, it takes a lifetime for each entity to choose the manner by which it shall show Love and to whom it shall be given. Needs are all about you. If you wish to start with the simplest needs, there are the hungry, and thirsty, and cold upon your planet. Your sphere is full of such confusion, my friends—such a hubbub, such a babble.

Hatonn went on to say we wish to move back to the confusion which is a tool, much like a saw or a hammer, and it is the thing which you may grasp about yourself, and it is confusion, so you use a saw to saw wood; you use a hammer to nail things together, and you use your confusion to work upon yourself, for you are waiting to learn from that confusion, so you are waiting for that trouble to bubble up until you escape, look back, and learn from your experience, so the speed with which you learn from this confusion will depend upon your willingness to work with yourself, but you have the sense to be confused, but you are not asleep, and you are not dreaming, and no question is worth answering, so to these people we cannot offer any help, for these people shall experience this illusion until they become aware of the process that is shaping their destinies. Hatonn continued by saying we do not suggest to you that a “trouble bubble” is an easy thing to understand, for we know the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator is with you in your attempts to balance your confusions and to learn, for what a fine tool confusion is, yet what a wonderful illusion you have, but we are aware that you would prefer the security of simple rules, and there is one simple rule, and that is to Love freely, but it takes a lifetime for each entity to choose the manner by which it shall show Love and to whom it shall be given, so needs are all about you, for if you wish to start with the simplest needs, there are the hungry, and thirsty, and cold upon your planet. On April 20, 1986, Latwii suggested that we Love freely:

Again, without meaning to sound simplistic, we can suggest that to Love and to give Love freely is that which aids any entity or effort in service. That Love then can be used by the entity in whatever way has meaning to that entity.

What shall you do; where shall you go; what is your discipline to be? We ask you to return to the one original Thought on a daily basis. It does not matter if this returning or meditation be for five minutes or for fifty. What matters is that you have the discipline to turn again and again, day by day, to the Creator. That which will precipitate from your daily meditation shall be unique, for each particle of consciousness is unique. No two people can face the same problem ethically, morally, economically, socially, or in whatever way, and find within himself precisely the same answer. The universe is, indeed, confused, and the lessons are subjective. When you have found enough truth to tell from the rooftops, you shall not be able to do so by any proof, for proof is the farthest thing from your needs as individuals. Each of you needs to find their own way. Each of you needs to find their own truth.

 There are some constants, such as confusion, Love, charity, compassion, sorrow, and weariness. These things each person can understand, and yet how that will be weighed in a person’s life, how they will be used to shape a consciousness is a question that must be answered by each. We would not dream of informing you of one overriding absolute truth, which if believed will carry you to some heavenly kingdom. No, my friends. We are in a heavenly kingdom, as we are in the fourth density, that density of Love, and from this density we can see the Creator in each of you and in each of us. But we cannot give this vision to you, nor would we wish to. We wish only to enspirit you so that you may go forth and seek your own answers. We may promise you that at any time that you wish to meditate we are with you.

Hatonn continued by saying as you to return to the one original Thought on a daily basis, it does not matter if this meditation be for five minutes or for fifty, so what matters is that you have the discipline to turn again to the Creator, for that which will precipitate from your daily meditation shall be unique, for each particle of consciousness is unique, and no two people can face the same problem and find within them the same answer, for the universe is confused, and the lessons are subjective, yet when you have found enough truth to tell from the rooftops, you shall not be able to do so by any proof, for proof is the farthest thing from your needs as individuals, so each of you needs to find their own truth. Then Hatonn said there are some constants, such as confusion, Love, charity, and weariness, and these things each person can understand, yet how that will be weighed in a person’s life, and will be used to shape consciousness is a question that must be answered by each, but we would not dream of informing you of one absolute truth, which if believed will carry you to a heavenly kingdom, for we are in the fourth density of Love, and from this density we can see the Creator in each of you and in each of us, but we cannot give this vision to you, nor would we wish to, for we wish only to enspirit you, so that you may go forth and seek your own answers, and we promise you that at any time you wish to meditate we are with you. On May 17, 1981, Hatonn said that we should seek our own answers:

This is the Law of Love that binds and unbinds. This is the Law, which when used correctly causes the entity to take upon itself the raiment of the co-Creator that each of you really is. Only when you choose the responsibility of seeking in Love your own answers, your own formulations of questions, can you become one who acts rather than one who reads. The abilities of one who allows the original Thought to energize their being are many. The ability to serve others is immensely enhanced when the seeker ceases pondering the rightness and wrongness of action but, rather, takes it to meditation and releases it, allowing then the original Thought of Love to have a clear channel through which to work.

As we close, let us bring you in meditation closer to ourselves until we truly feel oneness. Through this instrument’s ears we hear the lonely sound of the train going from somewhere to somewhere else, much like you, my friends, on a lonely journey. And yet you are together, held on a straight and narrow track, for your vision is of Love and your desire is for mercy. We are one with you. Where is the Creator? Ah, my friends, there is the great question. Shall we say the Creator is you? You shall not be satisfied, for you are not satisfied with yourself. Shall we say that the Creator is in the seeking? You will not be satisfied. Shall we tell you that your journey has no end, and that that endless journey is the Creator? Perhaps, my friends, we come closer to that which you desire to hear this evening. We leave you upon the wind of chance and change. And yet, how solid is your caring for each other and for Love and for seeking.

Now Hatonn said as we close, let us bring you in meditation closer to ourselves until we feel oneness, and through Carla’s ears we hear the sound of the train going from somewhere to somewhere else, much like you on a lonely journey, yet you are together, held on a straight and narrow track, for your vision is of Love, and your desire is for mercy, so we are one with you, yet: “Where is the Creator? Shall we say the Creator is you? You shall not be satisfied, for you are not satisfied with yourself. Shall we say that the Creator is in the seeking? You will not be satisfied. Shall we tell you that your journey has no end, and that that endless journey is the Creator?” Now Hatonn said we come closer to that which you desire to hear this evening, and we leave you upon the wind of chance and change, yet how solid is your caring for each other, and for Love, and for seeking. On January 20, 2002, Q’uo spoke of the wind of change:

Each of you is here upon Earth, as are we, within the influence of your Earth’s inner planes, because of the exciting and interesting times in which you live. Each is aware of the powerful wind of change. Each is aware of the potential of the future for good or for ill. How shall you react to this present moment? How shall your beliefs create your future?

We are known to you as those of Hatonn. We leave you in the Love and the Light along the endless track of an endless journey of the infinite Creator. We leave you in that which is perfect in all ways. We leave you. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “The world has made great strides forward in religion and metaphysical teachings since those early days of Jesus, Buddha, and Lao-tse; but too much of this teaching has remained mere speculation in the realm of the intellect. Somehow, somewhere, a group known by their fruits must come into active expression, a group who actually live the Christ life. They must keep their fingers on their lips, not talking truth, not teaching truth, but living truth, and their every act a demonstration of the presence and power of God. As discord or inharmony flash across their horizon, they will resist the temptation to affirm truth, and instead turn to that center where the Christ is enthroned and let It make the crooked places straight. It, not they, will be the blessing.

The answer, the solution to all problems, is the realized Christ; let us call It the Risen Christ. Christ buried in the tomb of the mind will not come forth and do wonders, but Christ risen in our consciousness, Christ raised up from the tomb through meditation and communion—that is the miracle worker of the ages. It may begin with us and express in the improvement of our health, supply, and environment. Then, as the Christ becomes active in our consciousness on behalf of those who are receptive to It, It will begin to be an influence in their experience. Thus, going from one to another, touching a few here, a few more there, eventually, it will encircle the globe.

Every person who has prepared themselves for the awakening of the Christ may become an integral part of this circle of Light. It is not, however, an experience that is possible for every person at this present moment, just as it is not possible for everyone to earn a degree in engineering or law, without the required preliminary study. Much as all those who are interested in the deep things of the Spirit would like to include their friends and families as their companions along the Way, this is not always practicable. Often the members of one’s own family or others closely related by ties of friendship, love, or association are the very ones who are the most antagonistic to truth. They are the rocky or barren soil to which the Master referred. It is not for anyone to judge or to know who is ready for Soul unfoldment. That is something between every person and their God. Eventually, every knee must bend, and ultimately, all will come into their spiritual heritage.”

This afternoon it was once again my pleasure to co-host the European Law of One Telegram Group with Daniel Hodapp. I read Ra Session #65 to the group and made comments where I had opinions or experiences to share with the group. Then, some of the questions I was asked were: “What is the history of the printing of the different titles of the Law of One books?” “What difficulties is our Earth going through at this time?” “What are my short- and long-term goals for being of service to others?” “How does the pyramid work?” and “What do I know about Edgar Cayce?” I really enjoyed giving my opinion as I answered these questions, and I am looking forward to our session next week when we will be studying Session #66 of the Ra contact.

Then I went outside and used Whip Lash to weed the Moss Garden in the back yard. Then I used Huff and Puff to blow the weeds across Little Locust Creek to be mulched by my big mower, Venus.

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

March 18

Dwell Upon Your Christhood

I am the Spirit of the living Christ, and I greet you in the name of Jesus, that which is so evocative of the full consciousness of Love.

Dwell upon your Christhood this day. For the Son of Man invited all to partake in the suffering, renewal, resurrection, and transformation that lies beyond the point of deepest suffering, of completest loss.

Gaze within in awe and wonder at the Star of Hope lying above your own stable, that heart’s manger wherein lies the tiny, infant Christ within, that Christ which is powerful enough even in infanthood to raise all within to glory.

Rest back, out of the surface illusion of your daily life. Dive beneath those murky waters and find and acknowledge today your nature and your destiny. Then know that Christ has given into your hands the companion of that infant Christ within, and seek the grace and the peace of the living Spirit of Christ in each and every day.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from July 1, 1984:

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are privileged to be asked to join your group this evening. Though your group is small, we observe a great desire to know more of that which you call the truth. My friends, we share that desire with you, and cannot claim to know all that there is to know of the truth, but our experience has been such that we have gained some knowledge of this truth. And what we have gained thus far indicates in every degree that the greater portion of truth is what you call Love. The foundation of all knowing is that quality of being known to your people so imperfectly as Love. This quality of being is hidden within each portion of your creation and within each entity in order that each might have the opportunity to find it, for it has been our experience that there is nothing but the Love of the one Creator with which the Creator has made all that is made, and that each portion of the one Creation seeks at its heart to purely manifest the Love of which it is made and by which power it moves and has its being.

Many do not know that they are Love, and that they seek Love. This is to say, many do not know that they seek themselves. Yet at some point, my friends, this great yearning to know Love and to seek the self becomes apparent to each person so that a person becomes a seeker, a conscious pilgrim upon the great path of evolution, as you might call it. And when the seeker who consciously seeks that called truth, and that we have described as Love, continues for some of what you call time upon this path of seeking, and then comes the testing, the obstacles, and the seeming difficulties upon the journey.

In this session Latwii wanted to share the concept of Love, and how we are seeking ourselves. They went on to say we share that desire with you and cannot claim to know all that there is to know of the truth, but our experience has been such that we have gained some knowledge of this truth, and what we have gained thus far indicates that the greater portion of truth is Love, for the foundation of all knowing is that quality of being known as Love, so this quality of being is hidden within each portion of your creation and within each entity in order that each might have the opportunity to find it, for it has been our experience that there is nothing but the Love of the one Creator with which the Creator has made all that is made, and that each portion of the one Creation seeks at its heart to purely manifest the Love of which it is made and by which power it moves and has its being. Latwii went on to say many do not know that they seek themselves, yet at some point this yearning to know Love and to seek the self becomes apparent to each person so that a person becomes a seeker upon the path of evolution, and when the seeker who consciously seeks the truth of Love continues upon this path of seeking, and then comes the testing, the obstacles, and the seeming difficulties upon the journey. On November 13, 2010, Q’uo spoke of the truth of Love:

It is not that you have become one who controls your life. It is that you have become one who enjoys the surprises of life and who knows that even in the darkest hour, there is Light and Love aplenty for one whose mind is stayed upon the truth of Love. Each time your heart beats and sends the blood through your veins, it beats in Love. Love is the essence of your being at all levels. Love is the health of your body, the strength of your spirit, the deepener of your emotions. Seek to Love and remember to allow yourself to be loved in return. No push, no pull, but a resting, a contemplation of beauty, and a devotion; a thirst and hunger for the Creator’s presence in your life and, my brother, you will make that habit, and you will feel comfortable inside your skin at last. Ask for help. You know we are there and you know many others are as well.

It is at such times that the seeker is provided an opportunity to demonstrate the degree of its own understanding of Love and to assess in some measure for itself the further studies, shall we say, that are necessary in order to continue to more and more purely manifest the Love which is its Source and destination. The difficulties appear to be of a threatening nature, just as your illusion appears to be many parts, each separate from the other. The illusion in these facets is necessary in order that each seeker is able to gain the spiritual strength from meeting the difficulty that would not be possible were the illusion clearly perceived as an illusion. It must seem very real—that difficulty and those tests—in order that the seeker will participate. For when it is clearly known and experienced by the seeker that all is Love, then the testing is no longer necessary, and likewise the illusion is no longer necessary, for the lessons available in that illusion have been taken advantage of, have been learned, and then the seeker passes on to another class, we may say.

And what shall power the seeker through the testings and the difficulties when it seems that there is not Love anywhere, not within the self, not with the other, not within the life experience, within any portion. The testings are of what you may call a gradual nature so that no seeker is given more than the seeker can bear, and as the experience is gained, there develops those qualities that we might call the faith and the will that serve to power the seeker when all seems lost and Love seems no more. The faith, my friends, is that which cannot be adequately defined, yet it is a kind of knowing, for the roots of the being of each entity are one root in truth and feed each entity as the entity travels the path of the seeker. This knowing takes the form of what we might call faith, the knowing that somehow, in some way and in some degree, all is well and shall be well. This we may call faith. And as the experience continues for each seeker, growing with faith is another concept which we may call the power of the will. As the experience is gathered, then the will is given the opportunity to be strengthened in order that the journey might continue. The desire of the seeker is most important to guide the will as it is exercised; then the faith holds that seeker’s focus firmly upon the path of Love.

Then Latwii said it is at such times that the seeker is provided an opportunity to demonstrate the degree of its own understanding of Love and to assess for itself the further studies that are necessary in order to continue to manifest the Love which is its Source and destination, but if the difficulties appear to be of a threatening nature, just as your illusion appears to be many parts, these facets are necessary in order that each seeker is able to gain the spiritual strength from meeting the difficulty that would not be possible were the illusion clearly perceived as an illusion, for it must seem real in order that the seeker will participate, for when it is known by the seeker that all is Love, then the testing is no longer necessary, and the illusion is no longer necessary, for the lessons available in that illusion, and then the seeker passes on to another class. Latwii continued by saying what shall power the seeker through the difficulties when it seems that there is not Love anywhere, and the testings are of a gradual nature, so that no seeker is given more than the seeker can bear, and as the experience is gained, there develops those qualities of faith and will that serve to power the seeker when all seems lost, and Love seems no more, for faith is that which cannot be defined, yet it is a kind of knowing, for the roots of the being of each entity are one root and feed each entity as the entity travels the path of the seeker, so knowing takes the form of faith, the knowing that in some way that all is well and shall be well, for this we call faith, and as the experience continues for each seeker, growing with faith is another concept called the power of the will, for as the experience is gathered, then the will is given the opportunity to be strengthened in order that the journey might continue, yet the desire of the seeker is important to guide the will as it is exercised, and faith holds that seeker’s focus upon the path of Love. On December 13, 2008, Q’uo described the value of the desire of the seeker:

When the desire of the seeker has been self-understood and honed to a focus that is lucid and coherent, it is able to use its will, that powerful faculty that moves all of the creation, to reach for that which may come through the gateway of intelligent infinity to enlighten, inform, or inspire. That intention, honed through desire to will, moves first into the blue-ray chakra, the chakra of communication and understanding, and thence onward to the indigo-ray chakra, the chakra of faith.

In the environment of faith, driven in a certain vector by will, the gateway to intelligent infinity is then opened. And the energy of the Infinite, personified and shaped into specificity by the nature of the will and desire of the seeker, comes rushing down into the indigo-ray chakra through the violet-ray chakra, there to meet the upward-spiraling energy that is the constant environment of the energy body.

Therefore, my friends, as you journey upon your own individual path, know that you do not journey alone, though you are unique. There is a great company of seekers, both seen and unseen, who travel with you, so that your faith and your will are shared by many and each encourages each as you continue those experiences which so adeptly hide the Love implicit in each, yet make it available to those whose desire is on nothing else. My friends, these are humble words which we share with you, and words which may at a glance seem but common sense, and, indeed, we feel that is so. We feel that the most common sense of being which seeks Love, seeks to give and to receive that known as Love. Therefore, we give this simple message as a reminder that your journeys and your experiences, though seemingly of a very complex nature, are at their heart quite, quite simple. You stand upon the foundation of Love. You are that Love. You seek that Love. And all about you is some form of that Love made manifest and hidden within that illusion in order that you might have the opportunity of finding it.

Now Latwii said as you journey upon your path, know that you do not journey alone, though you are unique, for there is a great company of seekers, both seen and unseen, who travel with you, so that your faith and your will are shared by many, and each encourages each as you continue those experiences which hide the Love implicit in each, yet makes it available to those who desire nothing else, for these are humble words which we share with you, and words which seem to be common sense, and we feel that the most common sense of being which seeks to give and to receive Love, yet we give this message as a reminder that your experiences, though seemingly of a complex nature, are at their heart simple, for you stand upon the foundation of Love; you are that Love; and all about you is some form of that Love made manifest and hidden within that illusion in order that you might have the opportunity of finding it. On April 16, 1989, Yom described the foundation of Love:

As you explore the equations of your relationships, on the qualities of your experience, you will find that the components of these equations can be reduced to your ability to accept more of yourself, of the creation, and of your experience as being whole and perfect within itself, lacking nothing. There is within each human heart the ability to express this acceptance in a direct ratio with the sincere desire to know what you call truth, for as you sincerely seek the truth of your experience and of yourself, you will find that all has the foundation of Love and the qualities of Light as it vibrates in a specifically defined field that gives you a framework or an environment in which to exercise your Love. Thus, the creation has been made that you might play, as it were, study, romp as does the young kitten in the fields of experience that are made possible by the vibrational frequencies of the Light which enfolds you and the Love which empowers you.

We thank you, my friends, for calling for our humble assistance, and we remind each that we are available in your meditations at your request, and we would be most happy to join you should you so request. We leave you now in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai, my friends.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We are also very privileged to be able to join this group this evening, and we put one of your group to sleep by our didactic method, and we hope that we are not fated to put the other members to sleep and shall ask if there might be a query with which we might attempt a response, and hope that we might keep this one awake.

J: May I ask a question about my dogs, Latwii?

I am Latwii, and we would be happy to attempt a query, my friend.

J: I am having problems with my female wanting to breed. Can you tell me what is wrong?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my friend. We hope that we can transmit some information which might be helpful through this instrument, though information of a specific nature of this type is somewhat difficult to transmit with the telepathic contact, for we utilize a portion of this instrument’s knowledge and blend it with our own in order to transmit concepts with which he or any instrument might be familiar. There might be those concepts which we are unable to transmit, but we shall attempt to do at this time what we can.

The entity of which you speak, that entity being your dog as you call it, is an entity which has an identity which is quite unique, as you well know. It is often the case with such an entity that it will desire certain, shall we say, non-instinctual qualities or preparations before it will accomplish that which you call the mating process. This is not so with many of this creature’s type, for they operate primarily from that level which you may call instinctual and do not have these requirements. But this particular entity has been endowed, or shall we say, inspirited by your loving kindness, and has picked up, shall we say, certain desires of its own in relation to the mating process. This entity requires a certain kind of sensitivity on the part of the male, as you call it, a sensitivity which is somewhat like that of its own, and is, as you might say, finicky, if we might use that term when it comes to the mate with which it is presented. We cannot give you direct information as to precisely what to do, but we might suggest providing another mate of a more sensitive nature for this entity to mate.

May we answer you further my brother?

J: Thank you. That was very interesting. I would like to ask you a question about my male dog. We’ve been having lots of trouble with ear infections, and we just can’t seem to cure it. Can you give me any information about that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. Here we find that our ability to give information is even more reduced, but we shall make our meager attempt. In most entities of your own kind, that being the human type of being, the disease serves as a reminder that certain lessons have not been well learned. However, there is less of this quality in those of what you might call the second-density plant and animal kingdom. However, this particular male entity is experiencing a difficulty in the ear as you call it, which are a result of the infestation of an even more minute form of animal of what you might call the microscopic nature. It is often the case that such creatures as this male dog entity will serve as a host for the microscopic creatures of second density which seek to perform their service in a manner which is somewhat irritating to the dog entity, and is somewhat difficult to eradicate, if we might use that pun. We feel that it might be helpful for this creature to be included in your meditative circle of healing energy, for we feel that it is responsive to such energies due also to the enspiriting of this entity with those vibrations of Love. Other than these suggestions we are afraid that we are of little aid in this area.

May we attempt another response my brother?

J: Thank you. I would like to do automatic writing. Do you have any suggestions as to how I may go about this?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. This area of seeking is one which requires a great deal of the, shall we say, purity of seeking, and that which this group has come to call the tuning. The area of seeking information from levels of being which are not your ordinary conscious levels of experience is a type of seeking which can be most helpful to the sincere seeker. Yet to one whose desires are tainted with less than the highest desire to serve others, this type of experience can be difficult and, shall we say, misleading.

We suggest when the desire is for this type of experience that the one with such desire find some form of what we have described as tuning mechanism to begin the session. We suggest that any song, prayer, chant, or visualization which has a personally inspiring connotation to the seeker be utilized in order to focus as finely as possible that desire to seek truth in order to be of service to others. Then, that some form of meditation be entered into in order to open the channels between the conscious and unconscious minds, and that any impression which is felt be allowed to find expression. Then, with the, in this particular case, automatic writing, that all judgment be set aside for the moment, the moment during which this experience occurs. Do not analyze that which comes through these channels while it is attempting to come through. Allow it to flow freely, and when the experience is over, then utilize the powers of conscious analysis in order to discern as to the nature of that which was received.

Again, we shall summarize by suggesting tuning is the most important ingredient in this type of seeking. To utilize it before it begins, and then as the contact is made, to make the challenge to whatever entity attempts to transmit information in order that you are assured that the most positive type of entity and information possible is, shall we say, on the line. And then to open the self completely to all impressions which are received, reserving analysis until the experience has ended.

May we answer you further, my brother:

J: Thank you. I’d like to ask you about my fifteen-year-old son. We’re having a lot of problems with him. I can’t figure out what’s going on with him. Can you tell me anything about him?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We in this particular case can only speak in general terms, for if we laid this particular case out plain, then there would not be that challenge which exists at present and provides the opportunity for growth by its very existence. We can speak in general terms, however.

This entity is at that particular stage which those among your species, and most especially the male of your species, finds most challenging for the entity is no longer the child but is not yet the man. In your particular culture there is no opportunity that is culturally presented in order that this entity might prove itself to be worthy of the state of manhood which it is about to enter. This entity, as others of its kind, finds a great deal of what we may loosely term its energy of being available to it at this time, seeking expression in some fashion, seeking the great challenge that will provide the identity for the entity which it seeks. It is seeking the nature of its human being, and it would be helpful if it had some, as you might call it, trial or test in order that it might be able to exercise this great reservoir of energy in a useful fashion, for without such test, the entity is, shall we say, on its own, and must fashion its own type of testing which is not always approved by the culture or by the family unit.

May we answer you further, my brother?

J: Thank you.

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

C: Latwii, it seems I’m not used to being around … It seems that all of a sudden there’s a rash of people that I know are either hurting at home or in the hospital [inaudible] different sicknesses during the last several months. I … Tell me, is there anything in particular going on at this time?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We can speak of that which is occurring by describing in brief the great cycle of evolution which is now ending upon your planet. During this great span of what you call time each entity upon your planet has had many of what you call incarnations in order to learn those lessons of Love which it seeks to learn. As the cycle begins to draw to its close, the remaining few years which you have before you are those which are filled with what becomes the last chance to learn those lessons, and to provide those services which each has come to do. The opportunities, though limited, are greatly intensified in order that the time which remains might be utilized most efficiently and the graduation, as you might call it, might occur.

To offer such an opportunity to be graduated, it is, shall we say, a great honor to accept, but the brow weighs heavy, for such opportunities are usually not recognized as opportunities, for they come as the difficulty in some form. The opportunity to find love may come when one becomes what you call divorced and seemingly without that called love. Yet such an experience may cause one to seek even more fervently that known as love. When health becomes less than functional or normal, then it may be that certain experiences are symbolized by the illness and provide the entity which is ill the opportunity to see how to focus its own desire more finely towards that seeking of love. Most opportunities of this nature are not well-observed or taken advantage of, shall we say. Only in some portion is the opportunity accepted. Therefore, the opportunity continues to allow the full acceptance by the entity however the entity is able to do so. Yet, as we mentioned before, the opportunity may be the difficulty which is in truth the disguise of love.

C asked: “It seems that all of a sudden there’s a rash of people that I know are either hurting at home or in the hospital [inaudible] different sicknesses during the last several months. I … Tell me, is there anything in particular going on at this time?” Latwii began by saying we can speak of that which is occurring by describing the great cycle of evolution which is now ending upon your planet, and during this span of time each entity upon your planet has had many incarnations in order to learn those lessons of Love which it seeks to learn, so as the cycle begins to draw to its close, the remaining years which you have are those which are filled with the last chance to learn those lessons and to provide those services which each has come to do, for the opportunities, though limited, are intensified in order that the time which remains might be utilized most efficiently, and the graduation might occur. Latwii continued by saying to offer an opportunity to be graduated is an honor to accept, but the brow weighs heavy, for such opportunities are not recognized as opportunities since they come as difficulties, and the opportunity to find Love may come when one becomes without Love, yet such an experience may cause one to seek Love even more fervently, but when health fails, then certain experiences are symbolized by the illness and provide the entity which is ill the opportunity to see how to focus its desire towards seeking Love, but most opportunities of this nature are not taken advantage of, so only in some portion is the opportunity accepted, and the opportunity continues to allow the full acceptance by the entity however the entity is able to do so, yet the opportunity may be the difficulty which is in truth the disguise of Love. On June 5, 1983, Hatonn spoke of the value of seeking Love:

The decision that you may make which will profoundly affect the many choices that you make is the decision to seek Love—not any kind of love, not any description of love—to seek Love. To seek Love is to seek one of the primal distortions from the infinite Creator. To seek Love is to seek the great intelligence that fills the energetic consciousness of the universe with purpose. To seek Love is to seek that which is omnipotent, omnipresent, and closer to you than anything that you will ever experience or seek to experience. The experience of finding that Love is rare. Even so, that Love is so close, and so near, and so transparent, and so powerful that it will pick up your life and move it at an ever-increasing acceleration towards truth. The reason for this is that people expect Love to mean something, a physical thing, a mental experience, an emotional onslaught, a sweet peace, the great “Aha!” of philosophy. Whatever people expect, it is not what Love is, because Love is in this moment, and has been in every moment that you have experienced this day.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: Something popped into my mind, something that I heard … some information years ago when I first started coming on psychotronic weaponry being used on the planet. Could you comment about what is occurring with these devices these days?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We may comment by suggesting that the use of these and other devices is of small concern, not because they do not have great effect upon your physical illusion, but because they are merely one of many, many sources of catalyst, sources of experience which provide opportunities for those of your people to learn that which we have called Love. The difficulties that might come from such devices’ use provide the opportunities—again the disguise—of Love.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: The current weather patterns we’ve been experiencing over the last three or four years, is there a correlation of this particular cycle and the use of those devices?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We can suggest that these devices are altering that which the people of your planet have sown as seed and is now producing the harvest. This is to say that throughout the great cycle of your planet’s evolution there has been enough of that which we might call disharmony that this disharmony has permeated the crust of your planet, and is now having its effect upon your planet and its weather systems as the heat of anger and disharmony is released in a fashion which is more intense than has been known for many, many of your planet’s years and evolutionary cycles around your sun. This release of heat is having its effect on its own, shall we say, and it is this effect that is being somewhat manipulated by those who have access to technology with which to do such.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: Is anyone deriving anything positive from such devices at this time?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We might state in short that such is quite so. All experience, or as you might call it, catalyst, provides the opportunity for the seeker to find the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator. An entity may also ignore such catalyst. An entity may also use such catalyst to become more separated from others, and more distrustful, and, as you might call it, self-centered and seeking. It might be, for instance, that in a certain location there is that known as the drought. The crops do not grow, and food is short. One entity may use this situation in order to share what it has with all who ask and are around it, and in such a manner share the Love and Light which initiates such action. Another however, may utilize the same …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii and am again with this instrument. To continue. The same situation then, my brother, has provided catalyst of the same nature to two different entities, and these entities have expressed the polar opposite responses. So it is with all the seeming difficulties that the seeker encounters. The heart of the seeking, then, is the most important ingredient which determines how the seeker shall utilize the catalyst, the situation, the difficulty. If the heart has chosen to serve others, and to share always that Love and Light which is found in each moment, then each moment, no matter what its disguise, will be yet another opportunity to share the Love and Light that exists in infinite amount in each moment that it encounters. If, on the other hand, the choice has been made to serve only the self, then the catalyst may be used to do just that. It may also be the case that a choice has not been made, and an entity may swing from serving others to serving self, back and forth and remain confused upon its path. Yet all respond to the same catalyst, and the same opportunities are presented to each. It is the desire of each which determines that benefit which shall be derived.

C asked: “Is anyone deriving anything positive from such devices at this time?” Latwii said such is so, for all catalyst provides the opportunity for the seeker to find the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator, but an entity may ignore such catalyst, or an entity may use catalyst to become more separated from others, more self-centered, and it might be that in a certain location there is a drought, and crops do not grow, so food is short, and one entity may use this situation in order to share what it has with all who are around it, and in such a manner share the Love and Light which initiates such action. Then Latwii said the same situation then has provided catalyst of the same nature to two different entities, and these entities have expressed the polar opposite responses, so it is with all the seeming difficulties that the seeker encounters, for the heart of the seeking is the most important ingredient which determines how the seeker shall utilize the catalyst, and if the heart has chosen to share that Love and Light which is found in each moment, then each moment will be another opportunity to share the Love and Light that exists in infinite amount in each moment that it encounters, but if the choice has been made to serve only the self, then the catalyst may be used to do just that, yet it may also be that a choice has not been made, and an entity may swing from serving others to serving self and remain confused upon its path, yet all respond to the same catalyst, and the same opportunities are presented to each, so it is the desire of each which determines that benefit which shall be derived. In 10.14, Ra said that each moment contains Love:

The moment contains Love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that Love in awareness and understanding-distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of Love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking powers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek Love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, thank you.

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

J: Yes, Latwii. I would like to ask you about previous incarnations of mine?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother, and though we readily acknowledge the great desire to know in order to serve others, we are unable to provide information which deals with what you call the previous incarnations, for it is our humble understanding that to do so may be to infringe upon your own free will, for it is the case with each upon your planet that the greater portion of your being which is loosely called the higher self or oversoul has, with your assistance, placed you where you are in each incarnation in order that certain lessons and services might be learned and provided, and to be most purely learned and provided it is most helpful if they remain untainted by knowledge of previous experience which could guide one on a slightly deviant path. Yet we know there are many who give information of this kind and it is, as we know, quite possible to use it to benefit the evolutionary process. We do not feel it appropriate for our service to include such information, and we humbly beg your forgiveness for not being able to give this kind of information.

May we attempt another query, my brother?

J: Thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that we have exhausted the queries, though we have happily brought one from sleep perhaps less exhausted than before. We thank each of you, my brothers, for asking for our humble presence and service. Our attempts to answer your queries bring us great joy, and we hope for some small aid to you. We shall now leave this instrument and this group, as always, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator which indwells in all. We are those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Is it reasonable to expect that there can be a whole group of people in modern times so dedicated to the Christ-life that they will live by actual spiritual contact? Is it conceivable that a body of students or earnest aspirants on the spiritual path will evolve, who will seriously accept the hypothesis that they of themselves are nothing, but that God is all? Is it within the range of possibility that a group of people will appear on this Earth, who have arrived at that point of realization where life is lived by the Spirit? Such a group would establish a pattern for the whole world.

Always there have been isolated individuals who have achieved Christhood by grace, but at no period in the history of the world has it been either realized or maintained by a group. No one has been able to impart it to a group because up to this moment no effective way of transmitting the Christ-consciousness to large numbers has been found—at least none that has been effective. It was imparted by Jesus to the twelve disciples, and out of the twelve only three or four were able to maintain it. It was taught to several students by Buddha, but only two of them understood it, and of Lao-tse’s disciples, only one was able to carry on.

Today the wisdom of all ages is again coming to light in human consciousness: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” This teaching of oneness is the ancient secret of the mystics revealed throughout all time by every one of the great spiritual Lights of the world. Every great religious teacher has caught this vision of oneness. This it is which enables us to unite in that selfsame realization that if I am in God, and God is in me, then you are in me, and I am in you; and we are all one in God, united in one consciousness.

Despite the diverse forms of religious worship and teaching prevalent today, men and women of whatever persuasion should be able to unite in this age-old wisdom of oneness. The teaching of oneness is universal and in no way interferes with the continued practice of our present manner of worship. In reality, there is no cleavage between “your” teaching and “my” teaching. There is one Spirit, and that Spirit is God, permeating human consciousness wherever human consciousness is receptive. This Spirit of God works through me for your blessing and through you for my blessing since we are one in Christ Jesus.”

This morning I had a 10 am appointment with my rheumatologist, and it was my bi-annual checkup to see how my osteoarthritis is doing. It was a short visit because I was able to demonstrate how different parts of my head and neck had a full range of motion. On the way home I stopped at AutoZone to buy two containers of 50:1, 2-cycle engine oil. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought a pint of Hagaan Dasz Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

This afternoon I went across the street to my neighbor’s yard and used Huff and Puff to blow leaves that recent winds had blown down into two piles. Then I put the leaves into two garbage cans and the small tree limbs into one garbage can and put them at the end of my driveway. Then I used my hedge clippers to cut down the three Tall Striped Grass plants.

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

March 17

The Winds Of Circumstance

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

Just as your angry oceans in the teeth of the gale, so are your hearts within you as you attempt to deal with the things which are of your mundane world. The angry ocean rages within each cell of any body which attempts to move against the direction of the prevailing winds.

And one who chides and discriminates against its own body or circumstances does so needlessly. For the wind of circumstance is not apart from the pilgrim but much influenced by the subconscious thoughts of that pilgrim.

And the ocean of illusion is molded more than can be seen on the surface by the thoughts which are created by worry and fear.

Seek, then, the positive, forward-moving winds of the spirit which lie within and beyond all mundane bodies and circumstances, so that the winds are no longer angry and, more and more, those things mundane may breathe the fresh breeze of Spirit which comes to all who may be blessed by such grateful wind.

We leave you in the full blessing of the consciousness of Love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn, Yadda, and Latwii channelings are from June 24, 1984:

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. This instrument was exceedingly reluctant to begin this evening, but we are glad she finally consented. We rejoiced while you were laughing. As we have said before, laughter is good medicine, and as we have indicated also in the past, the people of this planet are far too serious. You work at everything too hard instead of living and working freely in the creative mind and Spirit of the universe. You will remember that the one you call Christ said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” He also said, “I came to give you abundant life, a joyful life.” You could benefit, my friends, by being joyful, and we adjure you to think of yourself as walking in the Light.

And you were just speaking of magic. And what is magic but the tuning in to the Light, the beauty, and the caring of the universe. The universe is indeed rich to all those who trust in its beauty, and even its magic. As some of your seers have demonstrated, one can lay up in peace even under dire circumstances because one can tune in to the harmony, and the balance, and the peace of the universe just as one can tune in to the hate and all the other negative emotions. It is a matter, my friends, of choice, a matter, if you please, of willing, because the power of the universe does indeed work with you.

We wish to thank this instrument for permitting us to speak through her, and we leave you now and transfer to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We have passed among each of the other instruments, and have found the request, “Not this time, not this time,” and so we come to this instrument. We find this instrument much involved in the challenging of a new entity. Therefore, we are giving this instrument time to tune to us that we may speak of that power which is that in the universe which is always sought in one way or another by those who dwell upon your surface.

Some say they seek money, my friends, and some say they seek truth. Some seek position, and some seek justice, and some search rubble for history, but all are in search of that which is powerful, that which works within your minds, your bodies, and your spirits to feed, to clothe, and to inspire. The value of seeing all kinds of power as roughly equal is that it enables you to choose more clearly and lucidly the kind of power you wish to pursue. Money is power, and you may pursue the making of it with great vigor. Those without money are certainly powerless in the most fundamental way. Position is power. There are things which position may gain one which money cannot. And you will frequently find that those who have money may yet desire power, the power that they cannot have. The wisdom of knowing what has been is power, for that which has been and that which will be are linear. And except for flashes of lightning, shall we say, which herald the dawning of each new age, human behavior can be predicted and extrapolated, and needs can be met humanely.

Truth is the ultimate power, and yet, my friends, it has the least effect upon your illusion. When you seek truth, you must face the fact that you are seeking something that is not eminently practical. We search this instrument’s mind to discover the most appropriate analogy, and we find that all other kinds of power are polyester, but truth is cotton. It will not bend itself to you; it takes care, and it is costly. That which is truth lies beyond space and time. Therefore, that which you know shall always be less than that which there is to know. And yet, with the power of truth, with the mere seeking of this truth, you uncover for yourself a connection beyond space and beyond time with that which was before the world began its stately movement through space and time. In other words, my friends, you gain the advantage of the very wide viewpoint of infinity. Those who seek money, power, prestige, or knowledge seek puny things which shall be killed off and which shall rot with the bodies which have sought them. And the world of your third density shall repeat, and repeat again, and repeat once again, the great cycles that teach.

In this session Hatonn spoke of the nature of seeking money, power, Love, and truth. They began by saying some say they seek money, and some say they seek truth, and some seek position, and some seek justice, but all are in search of that which is powerful, that which works within your minds, your bodies, and your spirits to feed, to clothe, and to inspire, for the value of seeing all kinds of power as roughly equal is that it enables you to choose more clearly the kind of power you wish to pursue, yet money is power, and you may pursue the making of it with vigor, so those without money are powerless in a fundamental way, for position is power, and there are things which position may gain one which money cannot, and you will find that those who have money may desire the power that they cannot have, and the wisdom of knowing what has been is power, for that which has been and that which will be are linear, and except for flashes of lightning, which herald the dawning of each new age, human behavior can be predicted, and needs can be met humanely. Hatonn went on to say truth is the ultimate power, yet it has the least effect upon your illusion, for when you seek truth, you must face the fact that you are seeking something that is not practical, so we search Carla’s mind to discover the most appropriate analogy, and we find that all other kinds of power are polyester, but truth is cotton because it will not bend itself to you; it takes care; and it is costly, but truth lies beyond space and time, and that which you know shall be less than that which there is to know, yet with the power of truth and the seeking of this truth, you uncover a connection beyond space and time with that which was before the world began its movement through space and time, and you gain the advantage of the viewpoint of infinity, but those who seek money, power, or knowledge seek puny things which shall rot with the bodies which have sought them, and the third density shall repeat and repeat once again, the great cycles that teach. On September 13, 2008, Q’uo shared their viewpoint of infinity:

As long as one is questioning whether one is completely in the awareness of infinity, one has not yet come to the full awareness of infinity. Infinity cannot be measured. The attempt to visualize infinity inevitably puts limits on infinity and falsifies the word. It is difficult, using words, to express the utter endlessness of possibility that is wrapped up in this word. But we may say that when an entity is within the awareness of infinity, there is an awareness of perfection and completeness. The world is whole, the world is one, and there is no attempt to find one’s place in it. One is one with all.

These poor words have so little ability to share the essence of intelligent infinity! It is as though we give this instrument these ragtag words knowing that what your spirit will hear is the space around them and between them. It is the energy in the spaces between the words in which we are able to share with you the fullness of concept and the absolute reality of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.

And what do they teach, my friends? They teach finally, for those who pay close attention, that the truly powerful thought, knowledge, power and birthright is the one original Thought, which connects that which is incarnate with that which is infinite. Many and many are the lessons of Love which involve the ultimately frustrating fact that all wisdom, money, and power are equal to folly, foolishness and ignorance in the handling of a certain situation. To be wise and to be foolish are as one, for some situations are unacceptable and shall remain so, and it is against the hard wall of this fact of the illusion that you must press the mind and your spirit until ultimately all gives way to the understanding that in Love, in the original Thought, all things are acceptable. All things have an acceptable time and an acceptable space, for all things that are endured are also outlasted; all teach love.

If you are not learning Love against the wall of your illusion, seek within, for we say to you, my friends, that it is there, and its power is great enough to remove you from your distress. That which you can do with money, with wisdom, or with power you shall do. Those who seek to serve others shall day by day use each tool to do so. But the race is not to the swift nor victory to the wise, for all things are equal: the lesson is Love. We ask you to move in meditation with us now as we ask you to do each day, and yet at this time we shall be with you. We ask that you move far, far away from the domicile, the birdsong, and the pleasant evening air into the deepest reaches of starlit space, until you are beyond the stars, and find yourself clad only in the thick darkness of that which is your mother and your father—the one original Creator, the one Creation, the beating heart of which you are a part. You are no longer isolated, but wrapped in soft darkness, and you feel the rhythm and the movement of timelessness. Ah, my friends. To say we are one is to repeat ourselves. To spend some time each day within the vastness of infinity, within your own inner quiet, is most highly recommended for those who wish to pursue the least powerful and the most powerful of all powers, the truth.

Hatonn went on to say that the powerful thought, power, and birthright is the one original Thought which connects that which is incarnate with that which is infinite, and many are the lessons of Love which involve the frustrating fact that all wisdom, money, and power are equal to folly and ignorance in the handling of a certain situation, for to be wise and to be foolish are as one, for some situations are unacceptable and shall remain so, and it is against the hard wall of this fact of the illusion that you must press the mind and your spirit until all gives way to the understanding that in the original Thought of Love all things have an acceptable time and space, for all things that are endured are also outlasted, and all teach Love. Now Hatonn said if you are not learning Love against the wall of your illusion, seek within, for we say to you that it is there, and its power is great enough to remove you from your distress, and that which you can do with money, wisdom, or power you shall do, for those who seek to serve others shall use each tool to do so, but the race is not to the swift, for all things are equal: the lesson is Love, so we ask you to move into meditation with us now, and we shall be with you, and we ask that you move far away from the domicile, the birdsong, and the pleasant evening air into the deepest reaches of starlit space, until you are beyond the stars and find yourself clad only in the thick darkness of that which is your mother and your father—the one original Creator, the one Creation, the beating heart of which you are a part, so you are no longer isolated, but wrapped in soft darkness, and you feel the rhythm and the movement of timelessness, but to say we are one is to repeat ourselves, so to spend some time each day within the vastness of infinity, within your own inner quiet space, is highly recommended for those who wish to pursue the least powerful and the most powerful of all powers, the truth. On May 4, 1986, L/Leema said that our lesson is Love:

Within your illusion, the lesson is Love. This lesson is begun when the conscious seeker becomes aware that it is the lesson. To begin the lesson, one may look at carefully the relationships and feelings that have developed within them that one has formed throughout the incarnation. Within each relationship, there will be a mixture of feelings and experiences that will sum into what you may call the core or foundation of feeling. Each entity seeking to Love and to understand the concept of Love will then compare what is felt with what is imagined to be Love. And here we must state that few within your illusion are capable of truly Loving and of knowing what Love is, for there is only the ability within your illusion to begin this lesson.

We remind you that that which we give you is our experience and our opinion. In your life and your thoughts, use those things which we have said which may inspire, but quickly discard those things which do not seem proper, for we would not be a stumbling block to you but only an aid as we gain in service by being able to serve you. We thank you for the opportunity to polarize in service to others. It is our great delight. We thank each who did not wish to be instruments and acknowledge the great service each provides. And we thank each who call to those of Hatonn, for it is a great pleasure to share our thoughts with you. We shall be with you if you request our presence mentally. And now, my friends, we must leave this instrument to her challenging. We leave you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are those of Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu.

(Carla channeling)

I am Yadda. I am requested by this instrument to greet you in the name of Love and Light of Creator. We do. We have had some time here challenging. This instrument challenging us in the name of Christ. We say, “Challenge us any way you like. All Creator. How about Buddha?” She say, “No. Christ.” We say, “Okay.” We greet you in Love and Light of Creator. We Yadda.

We come because call. Not usually speak to groups of this kind. Very honored to be called, and only called because request of “Who are you?” That is question: “Who are you?” We say to you, you are not anything like you think you are. You are not what you do. You are not nine o’clock, ten o’clock, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock. You must remove from yourself ideas this kind. Not help you. There is intense seeking in this group to know who you are. Remove from yourself all your clothing, your name, your nationality, your society, your neighborhood, your wife, your kiddies and your golf cart—all gone. Now who are you? We are not taking away from you, we wait for you to add to yourself the Creator.

You have heard of the masters. Do you think people become masters because they do not know who they are? Do you think you can take course to find out who you are or any kind of teaching? Not so. Not so, my children. Move along to a clearer perception of who you are. This is fundamental question which you must answer in order to do work. If you have machinery, you got to plug it in; you got to know amperage and voltage; you got to have right plug—male/female. You got gasoline engine, you got to know it’s gasoline; you got kerosene, you got to know the fuel.

Now, you are a spiritual engine. You were made to do work. What is your fuel? Who are you? We thank you for calling us, and we thank this instrument, and thank the instrument also for the challenging, although we find the insistence upon Christ somewhat naive. We also feel it to be essential, and recommend the practice in some form that is workable to each who does work in channeling. Never receive without the tuning and the challenging. Otherwise you get pretty strange programs. No need to confuse you. I am Yadda. We suggest to this instrument that it do research. There has been this contact before. Not to this group. We leave you in the Love and in the Light of the One that Is. Adonai. Adonai.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii and greet you, my friends, in Love and Light. We also are most appreciative of being asked to join your group this evening. As usual, we come in great joy and anticipation at being able to blend our vibrations with yours and attempt answers to your queries. Without further delay then, may we ask for the first query?

C: Latwii. In the last few weeks, I’m getting a very depressing type of feeling in the house we now dwell in. Would you comment on whether or not anything—what’s going on?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We scan your recent memory and find that there is the parting of the dwelling and your own selves which produces a type of pain that might be described, as one of your poets has done, as a sweet type of sorrow, for that dwelling in which you have spent a great portion of your being and time is an entity as are you, and there has been much experience shared which shall not again be shared.

May we answer you further my brother?

C: This feeling’s anything but sweet.

I am Latwii, and can only make the additional comment in response to your comment that there are other energies of a parting nature apparent and seeking expression.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: Maybe later.

I am Latwii. We thank you for your patience and great desire. Is there another query?

K: Yes, Latwii. I am, I think, on a mailing list that is referred to as networking. I first read about that concept in Marilyn Ferguson’s book, The Aquarian Conspiracy, and then I heard it in Chicago a year ago this past April when I was at a seminar. Would you comment on the concept of networking?

I am Latwii and cannot refuse the pun that that would be the query of the fisherman, but shall, in a more serious vein, attempt response by suggesting that as those entities such as yourselves, which populate your country and your planet, begin to seek the Light and Love of the one Creator and begin to radiate that Light and Love, and then is formed a great series of centers or sources of Light. As these continue to seek in service to others, bonds or lines of communication are established, often by the exchange of letters, lectures, books, and in-person contact. As the energies are exchanged from center to center, there is then formed the network formed by Light, and the desire to share that Light with others.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Okay, then, is this Light or band of Light that we’re talking about, is it all over the planet or is it just localized in this country?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We joyfully …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii and am again with this instrument. You may see each entity, using an analogy, as a light bulb. Some have not been connected to their energy source in a conscious fashion, and some have. The conscious connecting is analogous to screwing in the light bulb so that contact is made and this contact is being made throughout each country, as you call it, of your planet.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: So, then, this is really a raising of consciousness, or these entities are becoming more aware of their mission or more aware of who they are. Is that what we’re talking about?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. These are, indeed, ways or means of describing the process which is occurring and has been occurring upon your planet for a great measure of time, for as each planetary sphere is inhabited with those of the third density form, there is the progress along the evolutionary path at each moment, but there are some points along that path which are of primary interest. These points are then able, because of their potential, to provide a greater radiance to the seeker which has passed the point. One of those points is that of seeking in a conscious fashion the answers to the great questions of your illusion, those questions, “Who am I?” “What is this life that I live?” “Where do I go from here?” and so forth. As the seeking becomes a conscious process, then the bulb is securely connected to its source and begins a radiance which was not previously possible.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Yes. Just pursuing the same line of questioning. It seems to me that psychology has tuned in, or at least some psychologists have tuned in to, I guess I could say, a mysticism. And psychology itself seems to me, has made fairly rapid strides or improvement in the last, oh, shall I say, five to ten years. Would you comment on that? Or at least it certainly seems to be—a lot of it seems to be different than what it was when I studied.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. It is correct that the field which you describe as psychology, as well as many other fields, has made great strides within the recent of your time called past. Many upon your planet in each walk of life, as it is called, have done a similar thing, that is to take what has been known in the field of study in which the entity finds itself and add the great desire to know the truth. Then that information which has gone before may either be seen in a new light or may be altered so that it provides a clearer picture, though still perhaps quite distorted, of the entity and its nature, the universe in which it finds itself, and the means by which the entity may move through that universe in an evolutionary manner.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, Latwii. It’s all very exciting. Thank you very much.

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

S: Yes, Latwii. Could you comment on the advisability of channeling what would seem to be local entities or spiritual guides of some sort, whether it be working with the tarot or in working with the Oriental couple that apparently worked with me and R, providing that one’s intentions are to seek knowledge and truth and that one is especially careful of tuning?

I am Latwii, and, my sister, we believe that you have answered your own query, for if, indeed, one is desirous in the utmost sense of seeking and serving the one infinite Creator, and wishes to more specifically to seek and to serve in the means of the channeling experience, then it is of little concern whether the entities that are channeled are of distant galaxies or your own neighborhood, shall we say. The primary point of concern is, as you have noted, the tuning of your own reception through your desire, and the refined tuning of whatever means you utilize so that the entities which are then able to channel through you are of the greatest positive polarity possible.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, I just wanted confirmation. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, as always. May we answer another query at this time?

Carla: Yeah. I’d sort of like to follow up on C’s second answer. Because he kind of suggested that when there have been positive and negative energies put into a house or experienced within the house during the stay there, when you leave, the positive and negative energies are both there. I was wondering if it would be a responsible act on C and D’s part to cleanse the house of the negative portion of the energies as they leave, and maybe to dedicate the new house for positive energies as well?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We may suggest looking upon the dwelling place which you call a house the same as one would look upon an entity, a companion, a friend, a loved one, with which one has spent a great deal of time, and with whom one has shared a great many experiences. What would one do if one should part with such an entity? This is the query which we believe the answer must come from those who part. And we provide this query and this perspective in order that that those who leave any entity might express whatever feelings of gratitude and honor, thanksgiving and respect, are truly felt.

May we attempt further response, my sister?

Carla: Yes. Because what C said was, the way he felt in the house was anything but grateful, sweet, or any positive word, that he had felt negativity in the house, the energy seemed to be negative in the house. And so, what I was wondering was, is this little entity called the house kind of schizoid or is it just a perception or is there another force besides the house itself that is entering into it …

[Sound of cat meowing]

Carla: …not A.

I am Latwii, and are very grateful that we are more easily found than the one known as A.

[Laughter]

Yet the call goes out as well for us, and we hear your call. We would respond to the query which you have asked with great sincerity by suggesting that there are those portions to this query which we have alluded to and may only allude to. We feel that additional comments have been offered in the light of the viewing the house as an entity which indeed it is. There have been experiences within this dwelling which have shaped those who have had the experience and the dwelling which has housed the experience. As the parting of these entities occurs, there is the drawing out of those experiences which have been left, shall we say, undone. We do not mean to make a large point of this particular issue, for there are, indeed, other factors to consider, but we wish to state that it is a natural progress or process of relationship for the unfinished work to be drawn, shall we say, to the surface when the parting is nigh.

This is not always the case, but for those who have developed certain sensitivities there will be noted the experiences which are somewhat unusual in the normal frame of reference. In this particular case, there is the opportunity to resolve certain difficulties which have been experienced, though the opportunity presently seems to be of a negative nature, the digging below the appearance or surface shall uncover the potential for great positivity.

May we respond further, my sister?

Carla: That was really clear. I thank you for that. I would like to ask a couple of other questions, and I hope they’re not too frivolous, but I’ve always been curious. Are all houses, and cars, and things like that that are made by men alive in their own way? I have always felt that they were, and as a matter of fact, have gone through life naming and talking to them. But that’s just been my own way. Are they?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As a beginning to this query, we may suggest that, indeed, each portion of the one Creation is quite alive and intelligent, for the one Creator is all that there is. With this easily understood, then we may move to the portion of your query which we feel that you deal with here, and that is the individualizing process which occurs most notably within your third density illusion. This process begins as soon as there is a created portion of the universe. Therefore, rocks, dirt, trees, flowers, plants, and, indeed, places may become what you call enspirited or invested with an identity as they are able to give and receive that which you call Love. This Love we would describe as the sharing of experience in an open and harmonious manner. Therefore, any place or thing or even idea may be so enspirited, so that it exists as an entity, and assumes an identity, and continues on the evolutionary path as an individualized portion of the one Creator.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: So what you’re saying is that cars and houses aren’t necessarily alive, it’s just that if they’ve been invested then they have become entities, and a car or some other piece of machinery—a typewriter which is often talked to—could actually be something that has aliveness to it and can respond. Is that what you’re saying?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We feel that you have a great portion of the gist of our response. We may add that some of these entities which you have named will have what we have loosely termed an identity only for the, shall we say, length of their incarnative type existence. Here we find words are most difficult to use in the description of this process, but we wish to present the concept that, indeed, an entity such as one of your automobiles may exist as an entity for the length of its use as an automobile, and will perhaps, shall we say, dissolve its identity when no longer of an integrated nature, and shall find a new identity in another form.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yeah. I’ve just always wanted to know this. Do houses appreciate being cleaned?

I am Latwii, and can answer in the emphatic affirmative, for, indeed, how does one feel when one is bathed and refreshed after a hard day’s work?

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: Yeah, I have another question, but that closes out that one. I got a tape from a friend who owns some very expensive taping equipment. He bought the taping equipment because he’s a hi-fi nut, and he bought an expensive microphone to plug into this expensive equipment so he could tape letters to me some time ago. It seems I have blown not just one but two of his machines, or at least they won’t work when I send my tapes and he tries to play my tapes. One of them won’t work at all anymore, and has to be sent back to the factory. The other one will work as long as my tapes aren’t playing through. But if one of my letters which are on tape is inserted into the machine, it will not run. What’s going on?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister, and feel that you are aware also of the answer to your query, for your effect upon those mechanical devices that are of a electromagnetic nature is well known.

Carla: But Latwii, long distance? He’s in Michigan. I don’t understand.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. He is, indeed, some distance from you, but your tape itself is with his machine and carries the charge in the form which you have given it, and, therefore, the effect upon his machinery is quite the same as your effect upon your own.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Is there any way to stop this effect from occurring? I mean while using the machinery?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We know of no particular means which might provide relief from this bothersome situation other than attempting to send the messages in another form.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

K: Yeah, there sure is. I don’t want to wear you out but I’m really quite confused. I’ve read Seth from A to Z, and Seth says that we make our own environment, whatever my environment, I have made it myself. And that like attracts like. Like attracts like. So, I take this seriously, and my husband and I don’t agree on very many things. And when I am having discord with my husband, I don’t blame him anymore. I say, well, I’ve got myself in this jam, so I can’t blame anybody else. I really have decided that whatever environment I’m in I’ve made it for myself, and I’m the one to learn from it.

Now, from what—I guess I haven’t understood this quite because it sounds contradictory to me about the house affecting me, it seems, anyway. I accept the fact that I’m responsible for whatever environment I’m in. If it’s misery, I put myself in misery to learn from it. Now, am I the one who’s confused? Oh, yes, and by the way, Seth also says that even a nail in the house has some kind consciousness. I remember the first time I read that I about flipped. But I certainly think my car has some kind of consciousness, and I tell it all the time, you know, how grateful I am that it serves me so well. But let’s get back to this environment. Do I create my own environment?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The one Creator is all that there is. Therefore, each portion creates itself and its environment in cooperation with each other portion. You are a portion and are the one Creator who creates in cooperation with all other portions all that is created.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Yes, I understand that, I think.

Carla: I think she meant, if a house is an entity, is she not creating it? Is that right?

K: I guess I’ve read too many different things. So, I guess maybe I’ve got to live with this a little while and think about it. But I am what I think I am. If I think I’m evil, I’m evil, if I think I’m good, I think—you know, I am what I think. I really can’t be anything else, I believe. I think that’s what I’m trying to say. If I think I’m in an evil environment, then I’m in an evil environment. Or if I think I’m living in a beautiful environment, then I’m in a beautiful environment. That’s what I’m trying to say, I think. Could you comment on that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. You are not only what you think you are, you are all things. There are no boundaries other than the ones that you choose for the purposes of learning and serving in specific ways.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I believe I’m going to accept that. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you. Is there another query at this time?

C: What I have in mind, I’d like to bounce a name off of you, and if you could, could you tell me if it’s just a meaningless, made-up word or whether this is some type of entity and if so, what kind? It is called “Crete” [The consonant is unclear].

I am Latwii, and although we have examined this sound vibration for pertinence in your particular incarnative existence, we can find no collection of meaning which can be transmitted, and are not aware of such.

May we attempt further response, my brother?

C: No, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii and would now once again wish to express great appreciation for being able to join with this group this evening. We of Latwii are of a nature which experiences great joy at being asked to speak those concepts which have some aid in another’s evolutionary progress. We have, through our humble experience, traveled a significant portion of that path which we share with you. On this journey we have found many things to be of aid in the traveling, but none aids as does the sharing of the Love and the Light of the one Creator with another seeker. We could tell you of great adventures, astounding experiences, and the most incredible of sights, but we could not compare any of these experiences with the joy and meaning that we find as we attempt to share our humble understanding with this group and those of like minds. We cannot thank you enough, my friends, yet thank you always we will, for we travel with you on this great journey, the journey of the One to the One. On that journey, for the moment, we leave you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “These momentsof union are priceless. They are few, but they are precious because they reveal the world as it is. If it is possible to experience this union for a few days or even for an hour, it is possible to experience it forever. There is only one necessity: getting ourselves out of the way. The day will come when the Earth will be so full of the presence of the Lord that there will be no mortal or material sense of existence left. Illumination will have dissolved every shadow cast by the individual who has thrust themselves between the sun and its beam of Light.

When illumination comes, we no longer need anything found in the outer world. Everything and everyone become part of our being. Never again is it necessary to take thought because now God lives our life. There is always the consciousness of a Presence; It sings within us over and over: I will never leave you nor forsake you. It lives our life, and we become beholders of It, watching It unfold as our very experience. There is that within which draws to us all that is required for our fulfillment. In the silence of our consciousness the creative power of God comes forth. When we feel that answering response, we are not only one with God. We are one with every spiritual being in the universe. Wherever or whatever there is of good for us in the universe, finds its way to us.

It is the goodness of God which pours through us to the world. No longer do we of ourselves own anything. It takes from us all sense of personal possessions, personal acquisitiveness, personal powers. And in their place bestows upon us Allness, the abundance of God in its infinite fullness. The whole glory of God is revealed in and as our life: as the harmony of our relationships, as the abundance and satisfaction found in our affairs, as the radiance of our countenance, as the buoyance and strength of our body, as the very garments with which are clothed. All the joy and fulfillment which surge through our being is a silent testimony that I in the midst of thee am mighty.”

Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop being at The Home Depot where I bought some netting and some grass seed. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Speedway where I filled Stanley’s tires with air. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off a prescription and bought some Haagen Dasz Vanilla Ice Cream.

This afternoon I went outside and used Whip Lash to trim back the Striped Liriope in my back yard. Then I used Whip Lash to trim back the Liriope on the west side of my fishpond. Then I used Whip Lash to trim back the Liriope on both sides of the sidewalk in front of my home. Then I used Huff and Puff to blow the Liriope plants and weeds in all three areas.

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

March 16

The First Item On The Agenda

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

Stand upon the rocky crag and gaze out over the broad land of this precious day. You have the long view now. Perhaps you have an agenda, a list, a plan for the day. But have you placed first the divine order of Love in action?

Love in action creates a system of natural laws. Any person with an agenda which does not recognize first the source of inspiration which makes all things beautiful is going to experience a day less blessed, less full of Love, and less inspired.

As you set your agenda, let your first item be to seek first the natural order of the divine Father, for this allows the inspiration, the breath of the soul, to make vital that inner self which knows so much more than the agenda-maker who sat upon the bare rock of a morning and only gazed at his agenda and not at the divine beauty of the larger view and the natural order.

Let peace flow through your veins as heavenly blood. Let inspiration be your heavenly bread. And let your day be blessed with inspiration and peace, as you know that you are doing the Father’s will for you today.

We leave you in that Love and peace, 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. The Hatonn, Latwii, and Nona channelings are from June 17, 1984.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the one Creator. It is, indeed, a privilege to speak to you tonight and welcome a new friend to this circle. It is always a privilege to blend our humble words to be spoken to one who seeks. On your journey you will not be alone. Always you will find that as you travel you will contact kindred spirits. They may not come from where you expect them. If you follow a certain path prescribed by one of your religions, those who may share the journey may not necessarily come to you from those who follow your specific faith. To know those with whom you may share, one must open themself, offer meditation of Love, for as a small light in a darkened room, you will find that others were drawn as you may be drawn to another life. I am Hatonn. At this time, if we may, we would transfer this contact to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We shall once again attempt to speak through the one known as S when we have used this instrument for a while. We are giving this instrument word by word communication rather than using the concepts because at times this form of communication is helpful to the group, and this instrument is the only one at present which has experience of using this form of communication. It is somewhat difficult, and, therefore, there is the need to remain, shall we say, in practice, much as the baseball player must pick up his mitt from time to time or he begins catching too far off the palm and the ball begins to fall on the ground. So, it is with word-to-word, or for that matter, concept communication. The catching must be renewed so that the practice will be fresh and the communication therefore clear.

We take you as in a story to a castle. You look at the ruins of a castle. It is gray. No smoke rises now from the once bright turrets. No rushes now adorn great halls. Battle has passed by; centuries have passed also. There is no life within the castle any longer, no nobility, no slave, no joy and sorrow. And yet the life that was is read by one who studies the ruins, by one who sees laid out upon the plain the stone delineation of each wall, the stark skeleton of the battlements, the suggestion of the once great flying buttresses and castellated points of defense, the now heaped moat, dry, and full of earth. Many wonder why there are those who are drawn to ruins, and, yet, my friends, you will be drawn magnetically to your life when once you have lived it. You shall not see each stone of your own castle, each battle, each year, each joy, each sorrow. What you shall see is what you have built. You shall see the floor plan, as it were, of a life that has been lived, that has been created by you within your incarnational experience. You are at this time building. You may find yourself tearing out walls, adding sections, adjusting, reshaping, accepting. Above all, we hope that you find yourself loving, for that is what makes your floor plan, your life, that which you may gaze upon in retrospect without feeling that you have wasted the materials and the tools of your illusion.

Some build small lives and some great, just as some prefer the cabin and some the castle. Each fights their own battles, some are fiercely inward, some are quite visible to those about the entity. But the sum total is not supposed to be any shape, any size, any number of rooms, any degree of complexity. The supposition with which you came into this incarnation was simple. You supposed yourself to be a part of the one infinite Creator, and as such you supposed yourself to be capable of coming into a new relationship towards yourself. That is, you supposed yourself to be capable of learning. Learning, my friends, begins with the supposition that there is a hope of knowledge. If one believes there is a certainty of knowledge, it may be said that one perhaps is too smug, for this is not an illusion of certainty. But those who hope and seek knowledge are building well.

In this session Hatonn wanted to share an allegory for seeking the truth. They began by saying we take you in a story to a castle, and you look at the ruins of a castle that is gray, but no smoke rises from the once bright turrets, and no rushes now adorn great halls, so battles and centuries have passed, but there is no life within the castle any longer, yet the life that was is read by one who sees laid out upon the plain the stone delineation of each wall, the stark skeleton of the battlements, the now heaped moat, dry, and full of earth, and many wonder why there are those who are drawn to ruins, yet you will be drawn magnetically to your life when once you have lived it, but you shall not see each stone of your own castle each joy, each sorrow, but what you shall see is what you have built is the floor plan of a life that has been lived, that has been created by you within your incarnational experience, so you are at this time building, and you may find yourself tearing out walls, adding sections, and reshaping, but we hope that you find yourself loving, for that is what makes your floor plan, your life, that which you may gaze upon in retrospect without feeling that you have wasted the materials and the tools of your illusion. Hatonn went on to say some build small lives and some great, just as some prefer the cabin and some the castle, and each fights their own battles, and some are fiercely inward, yet some are visible to those about the entity, but the sum is not supposed to be any shape, size, number of rooms, or any degree of complexity, for the supposition with which you came into this incarnation was simple since you supposed yourself to be a part of the one infinite Creator, and as such you supposed yourself to be capable of coming into a new relationship and to be capable of learning, for learning begins with the supposition that there is a hope of knowledge, for if one believes there is a certainty of knowledge it may be said that one is too smug, for this is not an illusion of certainty, but those who hope and seek knowledge are building well. On September 16, 1990, Q’uo spoke of our being capable of learning:

Without fear you are capable of moving as you feel to move, capable of learning that which you feel you need to learn. Little by little, the disciplining of that free will, which is your very nature, yields to meditation, contemplation, and experience, and you take the wind within yourself, the disciplined wind of the most perfect free will, that will to seek, know, and be a transparent exhibit of the Love that flows through all.

Each day there are times, whether those times be infinitesimally small—the ticking of a clock or the wail of a siren—or quite long—an evening period late at night when you may turn in true and pure seeking, regardless of how busy you may be because of those things which you must do to live within the illusion—to that which is sought. What do you seek? And how purely and carefully and lucidly do you pursue it? We ask you these questions as we ask them of ourselves. We know that we seek service; you may not. We have an advantage; we are not of your density. You have the chance to choose service to others, not in knowledge but in the hope that it is possible to serve others. You will spend the rest of your incarnation, if so you choose, attempting to untie the Gordian knot of service to others. It is very difficult; it may often seem impossible. It is the way you build your life.

Thus, you see, my friends, there is no time that you must consider lost, for in the beat of your heart, in the striking of the noon whistle, in any moment you may turn fully for that moment to affirm your seeking, and that moment will fill you for hours or for days. If you awaken in the reaches of the night and have no one with whom to speak and yet you seek, you are immediately not alone, for there are countless millions who seek. There is no second of time when one of those upon your sphere seeks alone. Always, as you seek you seek with a mighty company of those within your incarnational experience, those upon your sphere at this time and those in your so-called inner planes, angelic presences and teachers who rush to assist those who seek so that there is no solitude in the negative sense, but a solitary peace which comes from joining your own river to the sea of seeking consciousness, that which waves and waves upon itself, always in motion, never still, always seeking, but always full. You see, my friends, you were born, and you shall die and, therefore, it seems to you that you are much like a building, the castle of which we spoke, that your life has a framework, and that you work upon it and look back upon it, and all this is so, and yet, at the same time you are one with that which was before time began. You have never left the great ocean of the one original Thought, the one great Logos, that which we call Love.

Hatonn went on to say each day there are times, whether those times be infinitesimally small or quite long when you may turn to pure seeking, regardless of how busy you may be because of those things which you must do to live within the illusion to that which is sought, so: “What do you seek? And how purely, and carefully, and lucidly do you pursue it?” Then  Hatonn said we ask you these questions as we ask them of ourselves because we know that we seek service, but you may not, for we have an advantage since we are not of your density, so you have the chance to choose service to others in the hope that it is possible to serve others, and you will spend the rest of your incarnation attempting to untie the Gordian knot of service to others, for it is difficult, and it may seem impossible, yet it is the way you build your life. Hatonn continued by saying there is no time that you must consider lost, for in any moment you may turn to affirm your seeking, and that moment will fill you for hours or days, for if you awaken in the reaches of the night and have no one with whom to speak, yet you seek, and you are not alone, for there are millions who seek, and there is no second of time when one of those upon your sphere seeks alone, so you seek with a company of those within your incarnation and those in your inner planes: angelic presences and teachers who rush to assist those who seek, so there is no solitude in the negative sense, but a solitary peace which comes from joining your river to the sea of seeking consciousness, that which waves upon itself, always in motion, always seeking, always full, for you were born, and you shall die, so it seems to you that you are like the castle of which we spoke, that your life has a framework, and that you work upon it and look back upon it, and all this is so, yet at the same time you are one with that which was before time began, so you have never left the ocean of the original Thought of Love. On May 3, 1998, Q’uo said we have been the Creator before time began:

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

At this time, we would transfer to the instrument known as S. We have been conditioning the one known as R and would spend some time as we transfer with each of those in the circle, if each desires. You have but to ask mentally, and we shall be with you as always. We transfer now. I am Hatonn.

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet you, dear friends, once again. We are most pleased to be with this instrument, for it has been some time since she has felt comfortable with our presence. She is most accepting of us this evening and we are grateful to her. Dear friends, we hope that we are able in some small way to aid you as you travel what may often seem a long and difficult path. The path at times may seem nearly unpassable but we also realize that each is aware that at any moment one may diligently clear those obstacles which may be ahead of you at any particular moment, and often you find that the path is cleared with much less effort than perhaps you had anticipated. And often a boulder that may look very large and very heavy is not what it seems in that the boulder that may look very large and very heavy often is moved aside with a very light touch.

We wished only to exercise this instrument for a short time this evening. She is somewhat distracted by what she feels is an oncoming sneezing attack and is somewhat anxious that she does not disrupt us with this. We would therefore leave, and as we depart, we thank each present for the gracious invitation, and we also are aware of the unity which your group has shared with us, and we feel especially at one with you this evening. We leave you, dear friends, as always, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as Hatonn. Adonai.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are most honored to be asked to join your group once again in the attempt to answer those queries which you may have upon your minds. We would preface our service with the reminder that our words are but opinions. We suggest weighing them accordingly, reserving those which have meaning and discarding those which do not. May we then begin with the first query, my friends?

R: Yes, Latwii. First, I’d like to say just “Hello.” It’s been so long. I feel like a stranger to you. I have to thank you inadvertently for something that happened this week, reading the transcripts from a few Sunday meetings ago, and it’s had a very interesting effect on just things that have been happening for the last five days or so last week. I really have a question, but, since, you know, since you were involved basically with what was going on, I wonder if there is any general comment or statement you could make to just confirm or deny the positive/negative/positive/negative/positive/negative problem that I guess not only I have but everyone in this room has from time to time?

I am Latwii and am aware of your general concern, my brother. We are most honored to greet you once again and attempt some small service. We can affirm that each entity shall encounter those experiences which are most promising, shall we say, in the developing of those biases which each wishes to develop. The experiences will seem to be of a positive or negative nature according to the current attitude of the entity’s mind or perceptions, for, indeed, and in truth, each experience is of no, shall we say, particular charge but is of a neutral nature containing the Creator in full. How the experience is perceived is a function of the mind and perception of the one who is within the experience.

One may take the most cruel and harsh experience and find within it the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator, for, indeed, it resides there as that Love and Light resides within all experience. We can suggest that the perception of an experience as being of a negative nature is not necessarily less efficient or does not demonstrate less understanding than does the perception of the experience as being positive, for it may be most helpful for an entity to experience what seems quite negative and to use that experience to carve out a great potential, shall we say, within the inner being so that experiences of a wider variety and range may be available then to that entity. This would then increase the eventual positive perceptive ability of that entity.

R asked: “I wonder if there is any general comment or statement you could make to just confirm or deny the positive/negative/positive/negative/positive/negative problem that I guess not only I have but everyone in this room has from time to time?” Latwii began by saying we can affirm that each entity shall encounter those experiences which are most promising in developing those biases which each wishes to develop, for the experiences will seem to be of a positive or negative nature according to the current attitude of the entity’s perceptions, and in truth each experience is of no particular charge but is of a neutral nature containing the Creator in full, but how the experience is perceived is a function of the perception of the one who is within the experience. Latwii went on to say one may take the cruelest experience and find within it the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator, for it resides there as that Love and Light resides within all experience, so we can suggest that the perception of an experience as being of a negative nature does not demonstrate less understanding than does the perception of the experience as being positive, for it may be helpful for an entity to experience what seems negative and to use that experience to carve out a great potential within the inner being so that experiences of a wider variety and range may be available then to that entity, for this would increase the positive perceptive ability of that entity. On December 26, 1982, Latwii spoke of the nature of our inner being:

In other words, the actions of the other self do not generate within the one feeling the unconditional Love or the indifference an emotion which moves the entity from the center of self. Yet the entity feeling the indifference has some portion of the self which has been held in reserve, shall we say. This holding of the self in reserve is a slight distortion of the inner being which, therefore, requires the balance, the balance being the releasing of the self which has been held that it might be expressed. The entity expressing the unconditional Love has no action within that is held, but allows the free expression of the compassion similar to that which one might feel for the newborn infant in its innocent actions. Such an infant is easily seen as worthy of unconditional Love. When one can feel such, shall we call it, emotion, for any entity at any time for any reason, then that balance of unconditional Love has been achieved.

May we answer you further, my brother?

R: Briefly, Latwii. I wonder if you could comment on an observation that negative being more … I don’t know what the … maybe easy or more glittery or something, but that we all have that capability of negative or positive or that energy. Is that perhaps why your initial response to catalyst sometimes, or maybe most times, will be negative, but then, if your second response is allowed to come through, it would be a very balanced level-headed positive type attitude so that you’d go for the quick one for the thrill, but the real basic truth, I guess, is that second response.

I don’t know—these are weird questions I’m asking you. I understand and appreciate your putting up with it. Could that be true or false though, that first response/second response to catalyst being negative/positive?

I am Latwii and feel some grasp of your query, my brother, and shall attempt a response. We may suggest that, indeed, the negative response may seem quite easy at first. By this, we mean it is easy to think of the self before thinking of another. It is easy to make the sharp response to an imagined insult. Yet, upon reflection one might make what is called the magical transformation of the moment and refrain from such sharp response and turn towards the serving of the other self by seeing that other self as the Creator and observing the situation that is shared as an opportunity to share the Love of the Creator with the other self which seems a threat.

It is easy to begin the travel upon the negative path and to begin to serve the self, but that path is a most difficult path to continue to the point of harvest. Though it is more difficult to make the response and seek to serve the other self, that path, in truth, is the most easily traveled of the two paths, though its initiatory stages are most difficult.

Might we answer you further, my brother?

R: No, you’ve answered very clearly, as always. Thanks again, and thanks again for making me laugh this week, reading your words.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my brother. We are most happy to hear that our words have also provided joy and happiness, for we are of that vibration, and feel great joy with each experience of the Creator, and seek to share that in some small way through our humble words.

May we attempt another query at this time?

Carla: Could I just run down what R said, because I was really interested in how you answered it. I just had a couple of thoughts and wanted to check them. First of all, you answered about the negative/positive by saying that a lot of times your first vision of another person is negative, and then you see the other person as the Creator the second time around. When I analyze responses that I’ve made to people that are what I think are less than great, the person that I’ve found not recognizable as the Creator actually is myself. I have some lack of self-confidence, some dislike of myself, or some feelings that I’m not worthy, or something screws my thinking up enough so that I perceive the other person as not the Creator, whereas, if I were being the way I often am, then I would just see the person as a nice person, and you’d have to work real hard to convince me otherwise, which I suppose can happen.

First of all, is that a distinction worth making, that a lot of times it begins within the self-confidence of the worthy/unworthy portion of the work that’s being done spiritually by the person that’s having these negative/positive experiences that causes them? It’s the attitude of the self before it even gets out towards the other?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We feel we might be of the most service by affirming that, indeed, the purpose of each experience is to find the Creator. The finding of the Creator may occur in various ways. The beginning for some people is to see that Creator and to find the Creator’s Love within another being. Yet each being and each experience that one encounters is a mirror. One will finally see the self within that mirror. If one has been able to see the Creator in that mirror, one may then see the Creator in the self. Others, on the other hand, may begin by finding the Creator within the self and then radiating that image onto the entities and experiences that it encounters. The finding of the Creator …

[Side one of tape ends.]

Carla: …Well, that’s really neat. That means that they are just two different tools, but the same thing, and depending on your personality you can either start from yourself and work out, or start with people and work in.

The other question that I had, sometimes I have heard my friends, well, this hasn’t happened lately, but I’ve heard it often enough, complain about the attention that they get from men. Women friends complain about the attention that they get from men, and I’ve often wondered why that is perceived as an insult when actually it’s a normal [inaudible] response, and that’s why they’re using the eye makeup, and that’s why they’re brushing their hair and wearing pretty clothes. And I have this feeling that a lot of times probably guys feel guilty about the same thing, you know. “Gee, I shouldn’t be thinking that girl’s pretty, and I’m in a married situation here,” when actually it’s just a normal response, and if you just accept it, it would just fall into place as a part of love and not a part that has to be acted out, just a part that’s understood. But it seems like it gets in people’s way, and I wonder if that is a real sub-negative/positive class of its own, just sort of a blockage of recognition that those feelings aren’t threats. You don’t have to do anything about those feelings but accept them? Did I make that too complex?

I am Latwii, and feel that we may pluck from the words the gist of the query. We would suggest that when one is both punished and rewarded for the same action there may be confusion in the participation in that action. That is so in many realms of your people’s experience and is a portion of the confusion which each has the opportunity to wend its way through, for within such confusion one must exercise the inner strength and become strong. If there were no confusion there would then be less opportunity to gain that spiritual strength by which one may evolve in mind, body, and spirit.

May we attempt further response, my sister?

Carla: I’ll have to read that. I’m not sure what relationship that had to my query. Thank you so much, it’s very good hearing you again. Bye.

I am Latwii, and we greet you also, my sister, in great joy and thank you for allowing us to attempt to serve in our small way. May we attempt another query at this time?

S: Yes, just briefly, Latwii. I was wondering if you could comment or give me some advice about fasting. What I mainly want to know is, do you know of any way, first of all, to make this less painful? I thought that any words you gave me, I could think over in moments of stress to help get me through it, and also how to get the most out of the experience in a spiritual way?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To take the last portion of your query first, we might suggest that the greatest harvest can be achieved by making the fast a symbol for some spiritual pursuit. By attempting the gross cleansing of the physical vehicle, it is possible for the entity to also cleanse the mind and spirit portions of the complex by which it moves through evolution. If one then can set this purpose in symbolic form for the fast firmly within the mind, then the pains of the fast which accompany the practice may have a purpose which can be understood and used as a strength to propel the entity through the experience. When one undertakes such an experience it is well to use the same type of tuning that is used for these meditations in a periodic fashion in order to reinforce that purpose for which the fast has been undertaken.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, as always, you’ve been perfect. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. May we attempt another query at this time?

Carla: When one is speaking verbally to a person who for some reason has a diminished mental capacity, is one on any level able to leave a message of any kind, and if so, what’s the best way to leave that message?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Yes, it is quite possible to leave a message to one who is somewhat impaired in the understanding of verbal communication, and this method is what we might call the intention. The desire within your being to communicate is that which shall be communicated upon a level which one might call the unconscious, yet it shall reach into those levels of the conscious mind, and take whatever form is understood by the entity with whom you wish to communicate. Therefore, if you feel that words fail, do not give up the words, but place them upon the firm foundation of a strong and pure desire which you shall communicate by your very being, your presence, your feelings, the movement and motion of your hands and eyes and the Love which flows from your heart.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes. When such a person is so devoted to a healthy person that that entity would be perfectly happy to live the entire life through the healthy person, this being part of his mental impairment, is Love expressed to that entity by the healthy person on any level by the severe withdrawal from constant company with that person, the intention, of course, being to enable that person’s own health to come back?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. Yes, this experience which you describe does contain Love, but it is that Love which has attempted a balance with Wisdom, for to give purely in Love might mean the martyring, shall we say, of the self. This would allow certain lessons to be learned and services to be offered yet would end the ability to do such at some point which might be called premature. To balance this great Love with that known as Wisdom would then offer another type of service and lesson, neither type being what we might call good or bad, or better or worse, yet their natures differ. To seek to aid another in such a manner might result in, as you have described it, the regaining of the health of the other self and the continuing of the life pattern in a means which is more balanced, shall we say. To withdraw completely might also provide certain lessons and services again not of a good or bad, better or worse character, yet of a certain nature.

The path which one will follow and needs to follow according to its own choices for serving is a path which is found after great desire has been expended and prayer, and contemplation, and meditation. We affirm the great underlying nobility of the intention of the desire to serve. The manner of service is a person’s choice.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. May we attempt another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and as it appears that we have exhausted the queries for this session we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group. As always, we leave each in the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator, and remind each that we are available for your meditations upon request, and would be most honored to blend our vibrations with yours at any time you should so request. Again, we remind each that we are but humble messengers of the one Creator, and our words are as the shifting sands, and support those who travel as we travel. We recommend once again to leave those words which do not travel as you wish and take those on your journey which are fair companions. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Carla channeling)

I am Nona, and I come to you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are so happy that we are able to speak through this instrument. It has been some time. Many times, we have been called by this group and have not been able to use this instrument, for it did not have the proper tuning; it was not strong within; and we wished to speak only long enough to point that in the healing work the worry, the fretting, is not the praying. The worrying causes a weakening of the truth stirring within so that energies such as that of Nona devoted wholly to healing cannot possibly come through. Therefore, this instrument had then to release the worrying to some extent in order that healing might come through this instrument. This is true of all healing and all prayer to the extent that we are aware. We now respond to many weeks of requests for our hearings vibrations and know that we think in Love and in Light.

[Carla channels a healing vocal melody from Nona.]

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “In communion the activity of the Christ becomes a continuous experience—one realized not only at rare intervals but ever present. Eventually, a transitional point is reached in which a radical change takes place. We no longer live our own life; Christ lives our life for us and through us; we become nothing more nor less than an instrument for this  divine Activity: we have no will of our own; we have no desire of our own; we go when and where we are sent; we have no supply of our own; we do not even have health of our own. God is living Its life as us. When God lives our life, the robe of Spirit envelops us. Then whenever anyone touches our consciousness, they touch the robe of the Christ, and if but the hem of the robe is touched, then there is healing and redemption. Enfolded in this robe, it is unnecessary to go anywhere to carry the Christ-message to the world; the world will reach out for It wherever we are, but we must be robed with the consciousness of the Christ.

Communion, carried to its ultimate, results in the final relationship which is union with God. In communion, such a high state of consciousness is reached that it is possible to turn within at any time of the day or night and feel the presence of the Lord. It is as if It were saying, “I am walking beside you, but now I am within you”; finally, you hear It say, “Heretofore, I have been within you, but now I am you; I think as you; I speak as you; I act as you; your consciousness and My Consciousness are one and the same because there is now only My Consciousness.”

When that stage is reached, there is no longer communion because there are not two. There is only one, and that one is God expressing itself, revealing Itself, fulfilling Itself. It is the mystical marriage in which we witness ourselves being wedded to the Christ, and we become that which God hath joined together in the indissoluble union which has existed from the beginning. “I and the Father are one.” That is the divine union. In this mystical union, every barrier is dissolved, and even our intellectual opinions melt into the universal wisdom. There is a complete surrender of self into the universal One: All that I have is Yours; my hands are Yours; my very body. I have no need of any person, place, or thing; within me is the bread, the water, the wine. I have only fulfillment.

This is the height of spiritual experience. In the Song of Solomon this is the experience which is described almost as if it were a story of human love, but of course it is not that at all. Always there are at first the two. It is in the communion stage that it is the two who love each other, the Father and the Son. Jesus said, “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you.” In this relationship of communion, we feel our love flowing out to God and God’s love flowing to us as a mother’s love enfolds her beloved child.

All this ends with union. When union takes place, there is no longer any “I.” There is only God, and as we look out on the world, we see only what God sees; we feel only what God feels because there is no other Selfhood. There is no you; there is no I; there is only God being.”

I went outside this morning and used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters on the fishpond. Then I began pumping out half the water in the fishpond. As the water was being pumped out, I found a thin stone to put under the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain so that the fountain can be taller without going out of the pond. Then I walked all around my home and picked up the small tree limbs that have blown down in the last week or so and put them in two garbage cans.  Then I began refilling the pond with water, and while the pond was being refilled, I used a pair of scissors to trim off the dead leaves from my seven Lenten Roses in the back yard. Then I raked up the few Tall Striped Grasses that have fallen off of the main Tall Striped Grasses that are still rooted in the ground but are also dead, and I put them in another garbage can. When the pond was full of water, I added two cups of AquaSafe to neutralize the chlorine in the water. Then I took the garden hose back to the basement. Then I used packing tape to tape four wash rags to the outdoor faucet because there are freezing temperatures forecast for tonight and 18 degrees for tomorrow night.

This afternoon I went across the street to my neighbor’s yard and used Spray and Clean, and a brush, and her garden hose to clean the mildew off of the northwest corner of her home.

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

March 15

Realization And Confusion

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

Woe to the pilgrim who sits down upon the way, having decided that the wisdom which has come to him shall be the basis from which he shall view the world. For realization cannot be attained. It can only be accepted.

Realization cannot be retained, but only experienced anew in each infinitely small moment.

Thus, it is the pilgrim who walks on with appreciation both for realizations and confusions; who walks the straight and narrow path placing one foot before another, not because of the surety of the point of view but because of the faith of one who laughs at unseen steps, knowing that the path is protected, as is all creation, by the very nature of the creation of Love, which is the ultimate reality.

We leave you in the peace of alpha and omega, the joy of Love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Laitos and Latwii channelings for this session comes from June 3, 1984:

(C channeling)

I am Laitos, and greet you, my friends, in the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator. It is indeed a privilege to be again with you. We have received a request for our conditioning and would at this time pass among you and be with each who requests. I am Laitos.

[Pause]

I am Laitos, and I am once again with this instrument. We would at this time speak but briefly to you to remind you that this is indeed an illusion, and that you now exist in, and you many times forget this and allow yourselves to feel stress pressures that need not necessarily be there. My friends, take your time. Allow yourself those few, quiet, precious moments. We will be with you at any time. You need but request ours or any of our brothers’ and sisters’ presence. I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. We have not spoken through this instrument for a considerable amount of your time. We are attempting to gear to this instrument’s requirements. We greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator, and we are exceedingly happy to greet each of you and to be using this instrument, which is a rare pleasure for us since we normally listen to the confused perplexities of this instrument rather than speaking through the instrument using its unperplexed vocabulary.

We would speak to you this evening upon the subject of Love. This is an old favorite, and we enjoy coming back to it again and again. In this particular application, my friends, we want you to consider Love as work, and work as movement, and movement as initiation, and initiation as transformation. It is quite common for those who are seeking upon the spiritual path to feel that they are going through transformations of one kind or another. Quite often these so-called transformations are surface ripples upon a very shallow pond, and the seeker, rather than being transformed, is entertaining itself, playing a sort of game which passes the time without motion being accomplished. This often can only be seen by the seeker in retrospect and sometimes cannot be seen at all.

Conversely, it is true that sometimes the deepest transformations are not immediately recognizable. However, the motion of a true transformation has certain characteristics. Among these characteristics are direction and speed, in other words, my friends, the components of motion. It is not well to judge yourself or another spiritually, but when you wish to understand as well as you can the nature of what some call initiation, and what we would prefer to call transformation, you may first look for the indications of movement. Do you see direction? Do you see a rate of speed in which motion in that direction is being accomplished? These practical considerations may well inform you as to whether your own transformation or another’s about whom you are curious is apparent or real.

In this session Laitos spoke about the nature of Love. They began by saying we would speak to you this evening upon the subject of Love, for this is an old favorite, and we enjoy coming back to it again, so in this application we want you to consider Love as work, and work as movement, and movement as initiation, and initiation as transformation, and it is common for those who are seeking upon the spiritual path to feel that they are going through transformations of one kind or another, yet often these transformations are surface ripples upon a shallow pond, and the seeker, rather than being transformed, is entertaining itself, playing a sort of game which passes the time without motion being accomplished, but this often can only be seen by the seeker in retrospect and sometimes cannot be seen at all. Laitos went on to say it is true that the deepest transformations are not immediately recognizable, for the motion of a true transformation has certain characteristics such as direction and speed, in other words the components of motion, but it is not well to judge yourself or another spiritually, but when you wish to understand as well as you can the nature of initiation, and what we call transformation, you may first look for the indications of movement, so: “Do you see direction? Do you see a rate of speed in which motion in that direction is being accomplished?” Laitos said these practical considerations may inform you as to whether your transformation or another’s about whom you are curious is real. On September 18, 1983, Latwii spoke of the nature of transformation:

The seeker is one who is conscious of the process of evolution. Though each person learns as the one Creator, many do so in a manner which you may consider unconscious. To use our brothers and sisters of Hatonn’s analogy, there is the stumbling into the spotlight, the falling into the orchestra pit, and eventually the entity begins to write the script, which is another way of saying begins to seek in a conscious manner the keys which shall unlock door after door within the inner self, and reveal those treasures of being that await such seeking.

At some point in this process there is another transformation which occurs. This is the transformation in which the seeker not only knows intellectually with the conscious mind that it and all it observes are the one Creator, but experiences more and more the being of the one Creator within its own being. The one Creator is found within, and the entity is found everywhere within the one Creator. As this process becomes more apparent and becomes that which is experienced more and more within the incarnation, the seeker discovers that it is that which it seeks.

This is more than semantics, my friends. To seek is to suggest that the one who seeks spends the efforts looking for that which it is not, yet wishes to become. To know that the self is that which is sought, is the one Creator, is to de-emphasize the seeking and to be that which was previously sought. In this transformation the entity looks upon a new creation. The entity looks upon itself as it surveys that which it is and which formerly would have been seen as that in which it existed. In this transformation there is a greater responsibility assumed by the one which formerly focused its efforts upon seeking. Now this entity, our former sturdy seeker, is that which it sought, and shoulders the responsibility of being all that is. This is not an event which is lightly undertaken and is most properly placed within that realm of what you may consider the advanced nature of being.

We encourage this rather practical consideration because it is well that all transformation be, shall we say, down to earth, with roots as well as wings. Otherwise, the transformation, as we have mentioned, is only apparent, only a ripple upon the face of the personality, and will not bring either the burial or the resurrection for which one hopes in any transformational experience. Perhaps the greatest question is why should there be initiatory periods or experiences in one’s incarnational measure of space/time? Is there not a steady state of progress, the process by which one learns the laws of Love? This is often seen as the case; however, it is not. There are levels or portions of experience, kinds of understanding or knowledge of Love which, once having been learned, opens a plateau and mesa experience, and for some of your space/time there will seem to be a steady stream of learning, assimilating, and manifesting that which you have learned.

However, the seeker who is hungry and, my friends, all seekers, if they are alive are hungry and thirsty for the truth, reach the end of that particular mesa, or plane, or level, or portion of Love. It is not a question of going onward. It is a question, rather, of breaking through into another portion, another understanding of knowledge, of Love. It is a question of ever so subtly changing the illusion itself. The illusion in which you live is semi-permeable. In initiation you bring forth that which is new from that great well of wisdom which is within you, and as a beginner, young and green and inexperienced, you start to explore the territory that you have with so much difficulty spread out for yourself. Your geography is not simply onward or further than you have been before; your geography is that of a different plane of experience.

Laitos went on to say we encourage this practical consideration because it is well that all transformation be, shall we say, down to earth, with roots as well as wings, for otherwise the transformation is only apparent, and it will not bring either the burial or the resurrection for which one hopes in any transformational experience, but the question is: “Why should there be initiatory periods or experiences in one’s incarnational measure of space/time? Is there not a steady state of progress, the process by which one learns the laws of Love?” Then Laitos said this is often seen as the case, but it is not since there are levels of experience and understanding of Love which, once having been learned, opens a plateau experience, and for some of your space/time there will seem to be a steady stream of learning and manifesting that which you have learned. Laitos continued by saying all seekers, if they are alive are hungry for the truth, and they reach the end of that portion of Love, but it is not a question of going onward, for it is a question of breaking through into another understanding of the knowledge of Love, and it is a question of subtly changing the illusion itself, so the illusion in which you live is semi-permeable, and in initiation you bring forth that which is new from that well of Wisdom which is within you, and as a beginner you start to explore the territory that you have with difficulty spread out for yourself, for your geography is not further than you have been before, but your geography is that of a different plane of experience. On May 24, 1981, Hatonn described how the knowledge of Love may manifest:

The one known as Jesus said, in your holy works, “I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” This saying, my friends, has been much misunderstood and is very central to that which we have to say. This entity known to you as Jesus often went to be by Himself, to seek within Himself that knowledge which is not justification, but rather the knowledge of Love, and when He became one with that Love He also became one with the knowledge of what creative actions He might take to be in harmony with the rhythms of His particular way of existence, His particular means of sharing that Love among your people in what you call your life. And when this entity was in that state of Love, He was one in consciousness with the Creator, with Love Itself. And you also, my friends, when you find that consciousness, when you find that selfhood, that “I” which is beyond justification, concerns and worries, that “I” which may move mountains, you too will be the way, for Love is the way, the truth. For is not Love the truth? And the life? And you will be one with the Father, for there is no road to the Father but by Love.

If you could learn a new language it would help you to understand the nature of initiation, because even if you go through transformation in one place, the next time you say “cloud,” you will perceive cloud differently, as though you said cloud in a foreign tongue and perceived it as that culture perceives cloud, and not as you have in the past perceived it. Each portion of the laws of Love has its own needs, its own difficulties, and its own offerings to add to a bounty of experience which is in the end One. And it is infinitely more possible to choose initiation while incarnate as you are at this time in third time, in third density, than at any later, or as you would say, higher density, due to the fact that the illusion, as our brothers and sisters of Latwii have said, is so very excellently devised to be difficult to penetrate. You must in some way pierce the veil that separates you from your birthright as you move into initiation.

This would seem to suggest that you should hurry right out and get an initiation right away. But, my friends, you have planned this important experience before this incarnation. If you are working on what this instrument would call indigo ray you have already reached the point where you are capable consciously of choosing your incarnational experience in a large sense, not, of course, in a day-to-day sense. Your initiation will visit you; you do not call it. You prepare by using the experience that you have in order to find the one transformation that all transformations are about. That, my friends, is the original Thought. That, my friends, is Love. If you are seeking in this moment to find Love, you are ready for your initiation, whatever it may be. We cannot tell you and would not if we could. If you are not seeking Love in this moment, you will not proceed with your initiation. We may comfort you with the knowledge that your initiation will break through and will appear when you are ready. We may assure each that that extremely difficult but rewarding state is available to each in this group, and, indeed, each in this group has at one time or another been offered and, to one extent or another, accepted the responsibility of transformation.

Laitos continued by saying if you could learn a new language it would help you to understand the nature of initiation because even if you go through transformation in one place, the next time you say “cloud,” you will perceive cloud differently, as though you said cloud in a foreign tongue and perceived it as that culture perceives cloud, and not as you have in the past perceived it, for each portion of the laws of Love has its own needs and difficulties to add to a bounty of experience which is in the end One, and it is more possible to choose initiation while incarnate as you are at this time in third density, or a higher density due to the fact that the illusion is excellently devised to be difficult to penetrate, and you must pierce the veil that separates you from your birthright as you move into initiation. Then Laitos said this seems to suggest that you should hurry and get an initiation right away, but you have planned this experience before this incarnation, and if you are working on the indigo ray you have already reached the point where you are capable consciously of choosing your incarnational experience in a larger sense but not in a day-to-day sense, for your initiation will visit you, but you do not call it, so you prepare by using the experience that you have in order to find that all transformations are about, and that is the original Thought of Love, yet if you are seeking in this moment to find Love, you are ready for your initiation, whatever it may be, but we cannot tell you and would not if we could, for if you are not seeking Love in this moment, you will not proceed with your initiation, so we may comfort you with the knowledge that your initiation will break through and will appear when you are ready, and we may assure each that that difficult but rewarding state is available to each in this group. On February 22, 2022, Q’uo spoke of the nature of initiation:

The initiation of the surrendering of the self to the will of the One is that which is carried out with such an intense desire that it is difficult to adequately describe how this is accomplished. It is motivated and initiated by the seeker itself which has desired this union for a great portion of what you would call time, and has through various means of spiritual expression been able to accomplish a kind of replica or preliminary experience of this unity, so that there is a taste of that which is to come.

The initiation itself is that which can happen in the eye blink of a moment, or in prolonged meditation, or in the daily round of activities, for there is no determining the exact timing or characteristics necessary when the desire of the seeker will have built to such a level, both on the unconscious mind and the conscious mind.

This will and desire become balanced by the faith that such a will and desire will be manifested when the faith is as strong as the will, and they move together in union. Then there is the blending of these two strands of rope which is used to take the seeker into the highest realms of the fully-experienced presence of the One Infinite Creator in order to be able to do the will of the Creator, having become one with the Creator, and knowing the will because of that unity between the two that is no longer two, but one.

Your experience of time as a river is greatly muted by the illusion. Time is set up within your illusion as discrete moments; certain numbers of these moments are also discrete and form a kind of clock within which time/space is linked to your daily existence. The more that you are in touch with Love, the more closely that you are able to tune to the moments of true time, and, thereby, move into time/space to do that work which, done while incarnate, will be the richest and the most rewarding. We are aware that there have been many questions about initiation, mostly from this instrument. We surprised this instrument by speaking through it when it thought it was very perplexed. We assure this instrument that it is, indeed, very perplexed, however, it is a good channel, and we thank this instrument. We encourage each of you to move ever closer to the tuning of Love, the reaching, the finding, and the sharing of the one original Thought with yourself and with each other. To love one another is to be the Creator. On the other hand, my friends, you are stuck with the job anyway.

Now Laitos said your experience of time as a river is muted by the illusion, for time is set up within your illusion as discrete moments; certain numbers of these moments are also discrete and form a clock within which time/space is linked to your daily existence, so the more that you are in touch with Love, the more closely that you are able to tune to the moments of true time and move into time/space to do that work which, done while incarnate, will be the most rewarding, and we are aware that there have been questions about initiation, and we surprised Carla by speaking through it when it thought it was perplexed, but we assure her that she is perplexed, yet she is a good channel, and we thank her, and we encourage each of you to move closer to the tuning of Love, the finding and sharing of the one original Thought with yourself and with each other since to love one another is to be the Creator. On September 15, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the tuning of Love:

To our mind, we cannot conceive of running out of time to do one’s main job because one’s main job is to experience in as clear and undistorted way all of those catalysts which come before you with that vibration which is most essentially yours which is closest to the tuning of Love. This tuning, which one may think of as a constant such as the speed of Light—let us say, the speed of Love—is the same for all entities. However, each entity is unique, and so each entity’s path is unique. And each entity’s way of tuning the self moment by moment must be their own and not something taught to a group by rote, each person doing precisely the same as each other. The path to the clearest self-awareness is unique for each seeker.

We again express our delight in speaking to you, and would at this time transfer the contact to the entity known as Jim. We transfer in Love and in Light. I am Laitos.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii. The one known as Carla was, indeed, somewhat perplexed at our speaking through it. We thank that entity for its graciousness in transmitting our thoughts to this group.

Carla: What was your name again?

Latwii: We are those, as you know, of Latwii and greet this group once again in Love and Light. It is our privilege to assume a service which we are seldom able to assume for this group. This evening it is appropriate that we do so, and that is that we attempt to answer those queries which may be upon the minds of those present. May we then begin with the first query?

Questioner: Yes, I have a question. Something you said a moment ago prompted me to think of this. I read a long time ago or heard somewhere that any work done on this side of the veil, of physical existence, as versus work done on the other side, that anything done on this side is basically multiplied in its effect on our spiritual self simply because we have such adversity in the physical to overcome in order to accomplish anything. Could you comment on that?

I am Latwii and would be happy to attempt this query. It is true, my brother, that each of you within your illusion labors under quite, as you would say, adverse conditions, for each of you is the Creator, yet that truth can only be felt to most of your people through faith, for that great veil of which you speak does, indeed, exist. That veil shields your knowing of your true identity from your conscious mind with great efficiency so that you are as the one who plays the game of cards. You do not know the rules, yet you hold the hand, and on the other side of that veil you could see clearly each card, each rule, each play, and would do what was most loving with each action and thought. Yet, in your present position, you struggle through a darkness of forgetting, searching for the card, perplexed at the game and learning the rules, shall we say, by trial and by error.

Yet, we say there are no errors, for each experience is a grand effort of the Creator to know Itself, and as you move through your illusion little by little the Light of truth which you see illuminates more and more of your path. The great obstacles which stand before you due to your own ignorance of your identity allow you to achieve a spiritual strength which would not be possible should there be no veil and should you know that you are the Creator and should you know that without doubt.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Questioner: No, that’s fine. Thank you.

Latwii: We thank you, my brother, for allowing us this humble service. Is there another query?

Questioner: I have a question that’s similar to his, that’s related to his, and that is, are you saying that it’s not a matter of learning to Love so much as getting back in touch with Love, that we already basically know it, but that the veil hides us from our knowledge? Is that essentially what you’re saying?

I am Latwii . That is correct, my sister. There are many ways in which this simple truth might be stated, and you have chosen two which are most clear.

May we attempt further response?

Questioner: Thank you very much, that’s sufficient.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. May we attempt another query?

Carla: Are you sure you’re Latwii?

I am Latwii, and I am reasonably sure that we have used the same vibration for some period of time and timelessness. We speak to this group this evening concerning the basic vibration of Love, for this particular group is vibrating in that mode, shall we say, with a great and deep frequency.

May we attempt another query?

Questioner: I have another question. Several of us in this group have a good friend named Don, and he appears to be very confused in his thinking, and we are having a great struggle supporting him to grow in a good way, and I was wondering if you had any comments or statements to make about our dilemma to help us?

I am Latwii and would make a simple analogy concerning this entity’s current condition. If you will look at any entity which is being born into the world from your own human species to those of your animal, as you call it, kingdom, the young of each species is a most pitiful and bedraggled creature as it enters your illusion, quite helpless, and in need of great succor and support from its parents, shall we say, and in need of nurturing from its environment. Yet, as it gains its strength, it becomes able to move with its own power, to walk on strengthening legs and limbs, and to find its own food. Yet, did not this entity at one time exist within another illusion, in a form quite whole and mature, and did it not then choose to wrap itself in what one might call the cocoon of the womb that it might be born into another illusion in order that it might continue its great evolutionary journey of unity with the one Creator?

So does the one known as Don now seek to break from its cocoon of confusion as that which is old begins to fall away. Yet, still being aware of the old portion of the self as a portion of the self, it is difficult for the new entity being born to let go of that which is no longer needed. Yet, as that process occurs in what you call time, the new is born within the confusion of the old and the Love of those which surround is that which nurtures it, even though it may not understand the form of that Love, and may not know that it hungers for the food which is placed before it.

May we attempt further response, my sister?

Questioner: I think that is very sufficient, and thank you very much. It really clears up a lot of questions.

Latwii: We are most pleased to be of some small service. May we attempt another query?

Carla: If two people are going through initiation at the same time and they are in the same family, are those two initiations …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I am with this instrument once again. The condition of which you speak, my sister, is a condition which does, indeed, reflect a unity which is always present, yet is present to a much finer and fuller degree in the current situation. The process of initiation is one which is periodically made available to the conscious self by the pre-incarnative programming, shall we say, and the incarnative placement through time and space by the unconscious entity or mind, and it is this placement of opportunity which has now occurred within the entity known as Don and within your own being.

These initiations, as they have been called, have been placed simultaneously in order that there might be a greater opportunity for each to aid the other since each is, indeed, a great unified portion of the other in ways which are most difficult for us to enunciate using your words.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. May we attempt another query?

S: Yes, Latwii. I think I’d like to jump on this conditioning bandwagon this evening. Were you attempting to get ahold of me? I felt my heart jump up to ninety miles a minute and I thought, “Well, who the heck is that?” And of course, after you came, I thought, “Well that’s probably what it was,” but would you confirm that for me?

I am Latwii, and I would be happy to confirm that we have, indeed, attempted to blend our vibrations with yours but found that there was some reservation upon your part concerning the speaking of our words, and, therefore, we retired to another instrument.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you. I’ll keep a closer eye out for you. It’s just been so long since you were with me, I didn’t recognize you.

I am Latwii, and I am most pleased to once again be able to speak to this group and to blend our vibrations with each present, and we hope that our great desire to share the concept of Love and our perception of it might be a mark which is noted as ours and our service to you.

May we attempt another query?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and those of our group wish to express great appreciation to each for inviting our presence this evening. We are honored to share our humble service with you as each seeks the Love and the Light of 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. We leave you in that Love and Light. Adonai my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “It is necessary that we maintain secrecy. This is the one thing we dare not tell the world. The very moment the world senses in any person a pure devotion to the Christ, it would unhesitatingly speak evilly of them and attempt to tear them loose from their moorings. The Antichrist, or suggestion of a selfhood apart from God, enters with the subtlety of a serpent to arouse doubt and to undermine faith. It must be kept secret, therefore, until the time comes when the Christ-consciousness is so developed that It has become rooted and grounded in consciousness as the very activity of daily life. Then we can stand before the world and reveal It and not be concerned or affected by any abuse or doubt the world may heap upon us. It is only when we are presenting the Christ to the world that we are in danger of losing It ourselves. When the Christ has taken over sufficiently, It presents Itself to the world silently, secretly, gently, and so quietly that no one in the world recognizes or knows what It is, but everyone feels Its influence.

After the first glimpse of illumination many temptations beset us. Even Jesus was faced with the temptation of lack, the temptation of fame, and the temptation of personal power. All these He resisted and overcame. These same temptations come to all of us, but any temptation that a human being has ever had is multiplied many times as soon as they obtain even a degree of spiritual illumination. As they go on to greater illumination, however, these temptations fall away one by one until only one temptation remains—egotism, the temptation to believe that “I” of my own self can do something or be something. That, too, must finally yield to the risen Christ.

There is no limit to the depth of Christhood. Illumination leads to communion in which there is a reciprocal exchange, something flowing out from God into our consciousness and back again from our consciousness into the consciousness of God. It is meditation carried to a deeper degree than has been experienced thus far, but we do not carry it. God carries it. It cannot be brought about by any effort on our part; it cannot be forced. We can only be patient and wait for It, and then find that It takes over, and there is a peaceful, joyous interchange in which we feel the Love of God touching us, and our love for God returning to God.”

Later this morning I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves and Hydrangea blooms in the side yard into a pile, and then I filled a garbage can.  Then I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves in front of my home, and then I filled half of a garbage can with them.

This afternoon it was once again my pleasure to host a public channeling meditation. There were three instruments and eleven attendees. We began our session with a round robin where each person was able to share any spiritual thoughts or activities that had a special meaning to them. After the instruments were tuned, then a tuning song was played, and the channeling of Q’uo began. Some of the questions that were asked were: “What is the best way to heal diseases?” “What is the best way to work with dreams?” and “How can music be used to heal?” It was wonderful to meet so many new friends and to see so many long-time friends!

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

March 14

The Power Of Choice

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

Gaze at time. Gaze at the time that you have to spend within your next day. Gaze at the “talents,” the riches, of hours and minutes that you hold now at the beginning of the day in your cupped palm. Gaze at hours to fill and spend in any way which delights your soul, your mind, and your heart and know the power of choice.

Gaze now at those things not held in the hand, those things held by others’ hands and hearts, those things quite out of one’s control. In spending the minted money of God’s time, it is known by the buyer what is intended to be bought in terms of energy expended upon relationships and towards cooperation in work and planning, but it is not known how it shall be received. Know that your spending plan of time shall not be judged in respect of those things which could not be controlled by the self. Rather, the spending of your precious time shall be adjudged according to the intentions for service.

Know, then, that the riches and consolation of time in the Holy Spirit of the living Christ may, together, move forward with each precious minute and hour so that one spends it in such a way as to magnify time and the wisdom and consolation of grace. May you see the plenitude of your power in Christ! And may you spend wisely, this day and every day.

We leave you in the grace which alone may contemplate true peace and selfless service, 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.
