I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn channeling for today comes from October 25, 1981:

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. It is with great pleasure that we of Hatonn are able to listen to your voices unite in song this evening, for it is our joy and our privilege to share in the upliftment caused by your emotions as your spirits unite in joy and purpose. We of Hatonn are grateful for this opportunity and sincerely thank you for this blessing.

Tonight, my brothers and sisters, we would share with you a small story pertaining, perhaps, to ones such as yourselves. The story concerns a small child abandoned on a seacoast through an accident of his parents. The child left behind was forced to rely upon his own devices and his meager knowledge for survival in that his parents, lost as they were themselves, were unable to retrace their steps or recover the offspring of their actions. The child wandered the seacoast, his ears and mind filled with the monotonous crashing of the sea, its hypnotic waves at times comforting him, at other times irritating in that they seemed almost able to communicate with him, yet not quite able. As the child grew, he became less and less like his parents in that his seeking for food, for drink, for understanding, led him into many new and varied experiences that were not shared by those who had lost and later forgot him. Yet, the child never in his travels left the sea coast, for this message, although seemingly just beyond his ears, was ever a stimulus that drove him onward.

Finally, the time came when the child stumbled across another of his race, although not of the family nor the tribe that had abandoned him. An old man sat quietly on the beach, the crashing waves stopping just short of his feet as he gazed sightlessly toward the horizon. The child was hesitant, for although he remembered the human form, he was disturbed by the serenity of the old man, for this was not familiar to him. As he slowly approached, he waited for the old man to turn his gaze unto his own, yet the old man continued staring out to sea until the boy stood at his feet.

Finally, the old man spoke. “Do you know the answer?” was his question. The boy hesitated, unsure of himself, unsure of this question. The old man again asked. “Do you know, child, what the voices say to you?” The boy, again unsure, shook his head. The old man gestured. The boy sat down alongside and began to listen. As the sun warmed them both, rising higher and higher in the sky, the boy became drowsy, his shoulder and then his head leaning gently against that of the old man. And as the waves continued to crash, he began to dream and began to understand. He began to realize that the old man was himself; that the ocean was himself; that all who had gone before, that all who he attempted to rediscover, to meet again, were all himself. Gradually the young boy awakened. The old man was gone and yet the old man, a teacher, a sharer, was still there—for he was himself.

My friends, my brothers and sisters, we share this story with you to underline the importance of that which you do. The acts that you perform, the efforts that you make toward growth, toward understanding, toward the assistance of others, are all acts of service, for as you learn for yourself, you learn for all, for all are yourself. Be not ashamed, then, if your heart directs you in paths of learning as well as those of service, for to understand the mysteries of your universe are to Love it and to Love a part is to love the all.

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

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are with this instrument and we greet you once again in Love and in Light. May we thank the one known as Don for his gracious acceptance of our humble words said with such humor. We shall continue with a few thoughts through this instrument.

We speak of unity using water as a symbol, not only because your singing offered this image for our use in a tuned manner, but also because water is indeed a very appropriate symbol for the path that each of you, as drops of water, may understand yourself to be taking as you seek the infinite sea of the creation. A drop of water may seem to be quite powerless, and you as an individual may feel lacking or limited in some way in some situation. But, my friends, water is continuous and is not separated from itself. It may fall in drops in service to the fruits of the earth, but as it gathers and moves towards the great oceans, does it not carve out mighty channels from sheer luck that men could not hew so well with all their might? Water is quiet, and yet when stirred can be the most mighty of avengers, changing physical landscapes in minutes.

In your meditations, then, my friends, take each limitation and lack that you may feel that you have experienced, each disappointment that you feel in yourself or in others and offer them up as drops of water, to see them dissolve in a pure, clear ocean of the infinite Creator. Then, my friends, let the rainbow of sunlight through this water fill your heart and send you forth to serve the Creator, each in your own way and yet each a part of the great ocean of being. You are serving yourself, for all that you meet and all that you seek is yourself. If you Love the ocean of the Creator then, my friends, you will learn to Love each drop of water, each apparently individualized portion of that ocean, yourself and all others, all circumstances and all times.

Hatonn wanted to talk about the concept of unity. They began by saying we speak of unity using water as a symbol, not only because water is an appropriate symbol for the path that each of you, as drops of water, may understand yourself to be taking as you seek the infinite sea of the creation, and a drop of water may seem to be powerless, and you may feel limited in some situation, but water is continuous and is not separated from itself, for it may fall in drops in service to the fruits of the earth, but as it moves towards the oceans, does it not carve out mighty channels from sheer luck that men could not hew so well with all their might? Then Hatonn said water is quiet, and yet when stirred can be the most mighty of avengers, changing physical landscapes in minutes. Hatonn went on to say in your meditations take each disappointment that you feel in yourself or in others and offer them up as drops of water to see them dissolve in a clear ocean of the infinite Creator, and then let the rainbow of sunlight through this water fill your heart and send you forth to serve the Creator, each in your own way and yet each a part of the great ocean of being, so you are serving yourself, for all that you meet and all that you seek is yourself, for if you Love the ocean of the Creator then you will learn to Love each drop of water, each individualized portion of that ocean, yourself and all others, all circumstances, and all times. On November 5, 1989, Q’uo spoke of how we can serve the Creator:

For if one wishes to progress and to be able to experience a greater unity with all that one sees about one as the one Creator, it is necessary to be in the midst of the catalyst and its effect upon your total being. This requires a forgetting, for the most part, within the incarnation of that unity which indeed binds all that is, and of that Love which creates and empowers all that is, and that Light which reveals the true nature of all that is.

This forgetting allows for the self to become affected by the illusion in a manner which will offer the opportunity for the entity to choose more and more to seek, in one fashion or another, to serve the Creator in the self or in others so that an awareness of the Creator might be given to the Creator in a fashion which is unique.

And in providing this perspective and experience, one also expands the ability to accept more and more of the Light of the Creator within the being. Thus, you are correct, my sister, in that joy is but a fleeting visitor to those who wish to pursue the work in consciousness that is possible within an illusion that seems so far removed from unity, from Love, or from Light. This is the sacrifice which you make, my friends, when you enter incarnation.

Yet, there is a pearl, as it has been said, of very great price that may be won by such sacrifice, so that when it is finally won, all sacrifices will seem as nothing in comparison to that great pearl.

At this time we would join with Laitos, in conditioning those in the room who mentally request it. We shall pause at this time, and continue through another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. We would at this time ask if there are any questions which we may attempt to answer for you. Are there any questions at this time?

M: Hatonn, can you tell me the purpose of the entity that appeared on the mountain in Guadelupe long ago with a message for the people? What was the purpose of that entity, and can they be contacted through channeling?

I am Hatonn, and I am aware of your question. The entity of which you speak was a, what you would call, a wanderer, who incarnated in that particular area to reinforce certain lessons which he felt he was lacking in. The entity, as he became aware of his nature and as he became aware of the Light of the Creator, sought to be a teacher, or you might say, an example for those entities that were aware of him. The entity may, as with other higher density entities, be contacted if there is sufficient calling for that particular entity. However, we must warn that to seek a particular entity alone can sometimes be a bit dangerous due to a lack of a proper tuning and protection that is present in a group. To seek a particular entity alone opens one to others who would tend to mislead the one seeking contact. So, he may be contacted, but we would recommend that any attempt be made within the protection of a unified group.

May we answer you further, my brother?

M: That will do for now, thank you.

Carla: Excuse me. I had a question about that because the entity of Guadelupe that I was familiar with is Our Lady of Guadelupe, and I was wondering if what occurs when simple individuals who have been taught a simple—in this case, Catholic—belief system, seek, perhaps what they get is fashioned in part by their expectations, so that the entity of whom you speak, though in incarnation being male, would appear when sought as a stylized version of Our Lady. Would this be possible? Is this the same entity?

I am Hatonn, and am aware of your question. This is possible and, in this case, this instrument’s particular biases due to his teaching he received at early stages of his development in this illusion have come out in the answer. We will say that you will find that which you seek. If one has a bias toward a male-dominated type of experience, then that individual will perceive those things which they do not fully understand as male, and same holds true for someone who is biased toward a female orientation. You will, in this illusion, be often misled by things which you have incorporated into your being due to teaching by others within your society.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes. I have another related question. There have been many “Our Ladies” of various localities and I’ve wondered about them sometimes and wondered about their connection to the Confederation. Are these entities angelic entities of our planetary sphere, for the most part? Or are they those wanderers who’ve gone before the Counsel of Saturn and put in for this particular job for a certain length of time—to appear and to give inspiration? Or is it a mixture of the two—some from this planet’s inner plane and some wanderers?

I am Hatonn, and am aware of your question. The phenomenon which is referred to as “Our Lady of …” is for the most part a combined calling of various groups which are dominated by an orientation toward Mary. Most often these are a manifestation of the desire of these groups. It is possible that in some cases that these were what you would call wanderers, but these were few, for as most wanderers became aware of themselves and of the lessons that they set for themselves, although they did provide examples for others of your world, they soon left to continue on their journey. It is rare that one remains for any length of time to be a teacher, other than by example of their own growth. So, as we said, for the most part, these manifestations were the product of combined desire, faith, and Love of particular groups on your planet oriented toward the one known as Mary.

May we answer further?

Carla: No, not on that subject. I have a question about the use of precious metal in healing. If a crystal such as a diamond is worn over the green-ray energy center or the heart chakra, is it any aid to the healing if the chain on which this crystal is held be a precious metal such as gold …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(C channeling)

…apologize for the pause.

The metal which holds the crystal is not important. In any healing attempt the important thing is the one making the attempt and not the chain or the crystal, although the crystal is a focusing aid.

May we answer you further?

Carla: No, thank you, Hatonn.

Hatonn: Is there another question?

M: Is there a guardian of the Americas?

I am Hatonn, and am aware of your question, My brother, there is not one who only guards two of your continents. There are many who aid your planet, its people, but they do not literally subdivide your planet, but aid where needed, for there are no chosen areas.

May we answer you further, my brother?

M: No, thank you.

Hatonn: We thank you. Is there another question?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn, and am always eager and happy to be of whatever aid we can to you in the capacity of answering your various questions. We would ask once again if any have a question for us. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

My friends, in this time of year you refer to as autumn, many living things upon your planet seem to wither and fade as your weather becomes colder, but as always, the rains fall, and the sun shines down to aid and to perpetuate those lives upon the planet. They are still nourished by rains. They will be nourished by the oncoming snow that will melt in your spring, refresh, aid in new growth, and once again reach toward Light and continue the cycle that is characteristic of your planet.

There will be times when faith, in your search, it will seem to wither, and all seems dying and without meaning. But if one is patient, they will once again feel the rain nourishing. They will once again feel the Love and the Light that is them and is with them and will again grow, blossom and be renewed in their faith and their search.

We are known to you as Hatonn, and will be with you all when requested to aid in what way we can. We will now take our leave. We leave you now in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends.

This morning I went into my basement and brought the garden hose outside, hooked it up to the outlet, and took the end with the sprayer to the fishpond to correct the problem of the fountain shooting too much water out of the fishpond. First, I cleaned the filters in the schemer, and then I put the tube for the fountain on top of the two stones which had become displaced. Then I began to refill the fishpond high enough to give the fish more room to swim in and, at the same time, keep the fountain from spraying out of the fishpond. Then I added some AquaSafe to the water to neutralize the chlorine in the new water. Later, I came back outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves out of the Vanilla-Strawberry Hydrangea in front of the fishpond and then in front of my home. I put all of the leaves into three garbage cans, two of which already had some leaves in them.

This afternoon I used a wet mop to clean the steps up to the porch and the front porch of my home.

The Bloom And Fruit Of Peace

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

Peace is much sought after among your people. Yet as you gaze out upon a barren winter landscape you may not see the great peace which is engendered by all those plants as they dream within the seeds and roots of their being, creating by will and thought and the grace of Jesus Christ those formations and changes which in time shall bring forth bloom and fruit.

The human idea of peace is rest without thought. Yet the inner man seeks a different peace and must listen to the voices of the natural world and the inner signal of creation and inner change. This is the peace that is spiritual and frequently it feels not at all like peace but rather like strife. For change and growth are painful, and there may be long periods when there is no evidence of bloom or fruit.

May the peace of Jesus the Christ be your hope and your inner reality, that you may grow more and more into the kingdom of heaven. We leave you in the peace that truly passes all human understanding, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling for this session comes from October 18, 1981:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to speak through this instrument this evening. We were attempting to initiate contact with the one known as C, and we will transfer to him later in the meeting. We wish to confirm that we were, indeed, attempting to contact him. We will speak now a few thoughts through this instrument.

We would speak to you this evening of an aspect of Love that is seldom understood among your people. It is an aspect of Love that is one of the most creative and offering the most freedom of all the aspects of Love. And that, my friends, is endurance. In the vicissitudes of each of your lives as you experience them at this time, there are many peaks and many valleys, and when you reach the peaks you feel that the experience that you have gained, the high points that are the equivalent of the soaring of the eagle or the rejoicing of the angels, will surely carry you through all that may lie ahead of you, but, my friends, this is not to be. There is no mountain high enough to bridge the valleys, and when you are in those valleys, the difficult and dreary times, times when it seems that it is impossible to find a positive reason for your existence and being, it does not seem possible that there will ever come to you again the euphoria of the experience of the empyrean heights, bliss, thankfulness, joy, and shared laughter, and yet again this is not so, for there is no valley deep enough to keep you from scaling the next height.

The changes of your life experience are intended to give you cause for thought and reason for action. It is not intended that you should have an uneventful life. It is, rather, intended that your life offer you whatever peaks and vales that you may need in order to experience the joy and the sorrow of your humanity to such an extent that you learn how to endure. How easy it is, my friends, to love and to be loved upon the peaks of your life. How easy to express the graceful phrase, the caring thought, the heartfelt deed. And when you have once again walked into the vale and are locked in the cage of sorrow, how then can you reach through the bars and offer up Love and offer yourself to be loved? For you are a prisoner of your sorrow, and know not how to do these things, and yet, my friends, if you experience the alternation of joy and sorrow to a great enough extent, and with a great enough clarity of perception, you may discover in this very cycle one enduring thing.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about one of the aspects of Love which is endurance. They began by saying we would speak to you this evening of an aspect of Love that is seldom understood among your people, for it is an aspect of Love that is one of the most creative and offering the most freedom of all the aspects of Love which is endurance, and in the difficulties of each of your lives as you experience them at this time, there are many peaks and many valleys, and when you reach the peaks you feel that the experience that you have gained is the equivalent of the rejoicing of the angels that will carry you through all that may lie ahead of you, but this is not to be, for there is no mountain high enough to bridge the valleys, and when you are in those valleys, times when it seems that it is impossible to find a positive reason for your existence, it does not seem possible that there will ever come to you again the euphoria of the experience of the thankfulness, joy, and shared laughter, and yet this is not so, for there is no valley deep enough to keep you from scaling the next height. Hatonn went on to say the changes of your life experience are intended to give you cause for thought and reason for action, but it is not intended that you should have an uneventful life, for it is intended that your life offer you whatever peaks and vales that you may need in order to experience the joy and the sorrow of your humanity to such an extent that you learn how to endure, and how easy it is to love and to be loved upon the peaks of your life, and how easy to express the caring thought and the heartfelt deed, so when you have once again walked into the vale and are locked in the cage of sorrow, how then can you reach through the bars and offer up Love and offer yourself to be loved? Then Hatonn said you are a prisoner of your sorrow and know not how to do these things, and yet if you experience the alternation of joy and sorrow to a great enough extent, and with a great enough clarity of perception, you may discover in this very cycle one enduring thing. On January 16, 2016, Q’uo spoke of how we may experience the joy within our incarnation:

When contact is made with the indigo-ray energy center, then, this sense of unity begins to color the entity’s experience until it is full of the quality you may call “joy.” Various opportunities are offered for the seeker of truth to experience the joy-filled condition. When there is the opportunity presented to feel that the incarnation has been successful in its goals and intentions, there is often the momentary experience of joy knowing that the past is firmly set upon, and all is unfolding as it should. This is an inner signal to the conscious self that all is, indeed, well.

That, my friends, is yourself. Your mind finds peaks and rejoices in freedom. Your mind creates valleys and imprisons itself in sorrow, but there is always your mind, your consciousness, your beingness, the totality of which never changes, never alters and does indeed endure. And who are you, the being experiencing these changes, seasons and cycles of life, of love and sorrow? We suggest to you, my friends, that you are part of an original Thought, part of that which we might call Love, and as long as your consciousness endures, so shall Love.

Love is not a property of the heights of joy, nor are you bereft of it in the utmost depths of despair, for you are Love. It is always with you, for it is here, no matter how distorted your perception of yourself and of your experience, how separated you feel from the warmth and the safety of Love, yet you cannot deny or ignore your being. You cannot escape your thoughts or your nature. Therefore, my friends, it is well, from time to time, to imagine yourself as one who watches a picture that moves upon the [inaudible]. This picture is yourself as you act from day to day, moving as the winds of experience move you, that you, yourself, my friends, are the watcher and, as the watcher, you may see, not only the folly of this illusion, not only the missteps, the grand moments, and the failures that you fear, but something far deeper, for the watcher sees the reality behind all of these actions. The watcher sees Love.

Hatonn went on to say that is yourself, and your mind finds peaks and rejoices in freedom, and your mind creates valleys and imprisons itself in sorrow, but there is always your mind, your consciousness, and the totality of your beingness which never changes and does endure, so we suggest to you that you are part of an original Thought, part of that which we might call Love, and as long as your consciousness endures, so shall Love. Hatonn continued by saying Love is not a property of the heights of joy, nor are you bereft of it in the utmost depths of despair, for you are Love since it is always with you, for it is here, no matter how distorted your perception of yourself and of your experience, or how separated you feel from the warmth and the safety of Love, yet you cannot deny or ignore your being, for you cannot escape your thoughts or your nature, so it is well to imagine yourself as one who watches a picture that moves upon the [inaudible], for this picture is yourself as you act from day to day, moving as the winds of experience move you, and you are the watcher that you may see not only the grand moments and the failures that you fear, but something far deeper, for the watcher sees the reality of Love behind all of these actions. On January 11, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the reality of Love:

We do not wish to indicate that the truth which lies within you has a thing to do with your outer covering, shall we say, of deeds and actions. Nor did the master known as Jesus mean to indicate that you must love the outer wrappings of others. What we are suggesting, and what the master was suggesting, is that you penetrate the illusion, penetrate the wrapping of deeds and misdeeds, and discover within that illusion the reality of the Creator, the reality of Love. Within you lies the truth. Within you lies Love. Within each person lies the same truth.

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

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. In your lives, within this illusion, each and every of your days you will face various situations which may at times be pleasant, or troubling, or just seem to pass. Each moment and situation that you face is an opportunity for each to examine and feel, for each moment offers a chance to grow, to become more aware. Each moment offers a lesson which will provide opportunities. Whether you take the opportunity or not is totally a matter of your free choice, for each of you well knows that a lesson unlearned repeats itself or is manifested in similar situations. To grow, each lesson must be learned, although some you will find most difficult and within this illusion may even be a physically or mentally unpleasant experience due to your having to deal with others in this illusion, for those who are aware and seek are often misunderstood. As they become more aware, quite often you will see distances appear between you and those who would shun the lessons that they are faced with, though you may, as you grow with patience, bridge the gap and can make the difference small and even through your love bring you and others closer after a time.

You, as you become more aware, can endure all seeming blindness of others which so often stems from ignorance, for in your illusion many who do not understand or consciously seek turn their eyes away from the Light and Love of which we all are a part. You need not be ever discouraged by others as you seek more Love and Light that is within, and as you, will shine, and touch others, and aid them to begin their own journey.

We would at this time ask if there are any questions which we might attempt to answer? Is there a question?

[Pause]

My friends, it is always a pleasant experience to sit, quietly listen, to hear various vibrations that surround, for even in what you would term a silence, there is energy and peace which, not heard, is felt and experienced. We enjoy sitting silent, but we would also enjoy the sounds of your questions and would ask once again if we may be of service to you tonight within this capacity?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. Since there seems to be no pressing questions upon your minds of the ones within this group, we shall, at this time, transfer this contact to another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. We greet you once again in Love and Light. At this time we would offer ourselves in the capacity of exercising new instruments. We would begin with the one known as R and, if he would relax and refrain from any analysis, we shall attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. We shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument once again. We find that we have some blockage within the one known as R. Our contact enters just above the eyebrows, and if the one known as R would imagine in imagery this area being clear of all thought, and relax the body, we will once again attempt contact with this new instrument. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. We find that we have a somewhat stronger contact with the one known as R, but this new instrument feels not only a hesitance for speaking those thoughts which it finds within its mind, but also feels a good deal of pleasure in the sitting quietly within our vibrations. We appreciate the efforts of the one known as R and shall be with this new instrument in the future meditations, and we look forward to being able to speak our words through this instrument, and assure this instrument that the desire to experience our contact, to speak our words, is all that is necessary to do so.

We would at this time attempt to contact the one known as S. If she would relax and speak the thoughts which appear within her mind, we would attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. We will now transfer this contact to the one known as S. I am Hatonn.

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. We are pleased to be speaking to you through this instrument once more. We feel we are able to contact this instrument more comfortably now. We have, in the past, caused some discomfort. We are adjusting our … We have had to pause to make a minor adjustment, as this instrument was experiencing discomfort. We feel she is now more comfortable. We of Hatonn wish to speak …

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument once again. We are most pleased with the progress made by the one known as S in the reception in transmission of our contact. We look forward to meditations at which time we might be asked once again by this instrument to exercise its channeling abilities. May we say that it is a great honor to be able to utilize a new instrument at any time in any manner, and we appreciate the desire which each of these new instruments has expressed and demonstrated in working with our conditioning vibrations. We assure each that we shall be with each of them in their meditations, and a simple request is all that is necessary for us to join in meditation.

My friends, it has been a great privilege to be able to speak to your group this evening. We of Hatonn …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am once again with this instrument. We have spoken many times to this group. Our subject has always been some aspect of the Love of the one infinite Creator. This is our area of specialization. This Love which goes quite beyond words is that lesson which we of Hatonn labor to learn. Our learning is greatly enhanced by the opportunity to share our humble learnings with those of your people such as are gathered here this evening.

In the sharing of our learning do we thus learn yet more and penetrate further the mystery of being, and that which is known as Love. We of Hatonn do not claim any certain knowledge. We recognize the mystery of all creation. We know many of your people feel great confusion at this time in their evolution. It is with the hope of alleviating some of that great confusion that we share our simple learnings of Love with your people. We cannot express our gratitude at the opportunity to provide this service. But, we assure this group that we shall treasure each future opportunity to speak and thusly serve. We leave you now in that Love and in that Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I took the blue sheets and pillowcases off of my bed and put them in the laundry basket. Then I put the green sheets on my bed along with the bed spread. Then I put the pillows with the green and blue pillowcases on my bed. After the laundry was dried I ironed the blue and green pillowcases and the blue flat sheet. Later this morning my neighbor called me and asked if I could come over to her home and take pictures of her and her husband, their children and grandchildren because the photographer that they had hired to do this had called them to let them know that he was sick. So, I went over to my neighbor’s home and took about 15 pictures of all three generations of the family with one of their daughter’s cell phone.

This afternoon I went outside and used a ladder to climb over the fence around the Wuthering Heights Mound and put all of the leaves that were within the fence into a garbage can, and I took the garbage can to an area in my back yard where I had put leaves under a tarp yesterday afternoon. Then I took my limb loppers and cut about three dozen small Honeysuckle Bushes out of the Forsythia Bushes behind the garage.

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

November 30

The Skin Of Your Illusion

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

Take a moment this morning to gaze at the many imperfections of the skin which cover your physical body and know that it is the metaphor for all the imperfections of the world about you.

Turn inward and walk, within the mind, up the dark tower of good intention, resting at the landing to remove that imperfect outer covering. Behold! There is a basin of living water which may cleanse and make alive that which is wholly spiritual within you. Bathe freely and joyously.

Rise, then, step by step, until the dark tower opens into the seat of prayer, where the soul gazes out the window into divine Light. Know that that cleanliness of soul which you desire has been seated deep within, so that, as you move down those same stairs and don again the imperfect covering of humanity and go out now into the mundane creation, you shall shine from within with the Light of Christ.

For that which is outer in the world or in person is only a covering which partakes of imperfection and which partakes of an illusion. Never rest upon the surface of anything but, rather, upon the Light of Christ within.

We leave you in the peace of this understanding and compassion, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from October 11, 1981:

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We of Hatonn are pleased and grateful that this assemblage should call upon us, should share with us the Love and the unity which pervades this room this night. My brothers, my sisters, we are blessed beyond words at the service you do us in requesting our presence at your gathering. We of Hatonn would like to exercise the various instruments present, if such is within the will of those who have previously sought such contact. At this time Laitos will move among you and if you will but request, they will attempt to share with you the conditioning vibration. We will pause at this time and, for those who request it, Laitos will perform this function. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. At this time, we would attempt to contact the instrument known as C. I am  Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. We once again greet you in the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to have so many who wish to channel our humble words and messages. Tonight, the energy is strong, and we will work with various instruments, if you will be patient with us. Those here seek to advance closer to a greater awareness of the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. Each here has a method, or as you might term it, a style of growing. Each is different, yet each seeks, each takes of the most powerful tool available to them. The tool is meditation, the quieting of random thought patterns and opening to the Love and the Light.

We of Hatonn share with you your search. We shall aid when called to help you deepen your meditations and to simply be with you, for we are one in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. We of Hatonn know that in your illusion that growth is difficult to maintain, for you are sorely distracted by what you would call your everyday hand-to-mouth trying to simply survive. But, my friends, remember that each situation in your lives is an opportunity and a chance to learn, gain insight on yourself and others, and to aid you as a catalyst in your journey.

We are known to you as Hatonn and will at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. We greet you once again in Love and Light. At this time, we would attempt to exercise the instrument known as D1. If she would relax and refrain from analysis we would attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. I am Hatonn.

(D1 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. It is a pleasure to be able to speak our thoughts through this new instrument. We are aware of some discomfort and are attempting to adjust our vibration. If she would relax …

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. We are very pleased with the progress of the one known as D1, and would assure her that we shall be with her in her meditations to familiarize her with our conditioning vibration so that the experience of channeling might be less discomforting in the future.

We would move now to the instrument known as R and attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. If he would relax and refrain from analysis, we shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are aware of some analysis which the one known as R has allowed to create doubt and would once again suggest the refraining from analysis and the relaxing as much as possible, and we would attempt once again to contact the one known as R. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. May we assure the one known as R that the thoughts which he was perceiving in his mind were indeed our thoughts and the contact with this instrument is good, and we shall attempt at a future date to speak a few words through his channel.

We move now to the one known as S and shall attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. If she would relax and refrain from analysis and speak the words which she perceives in her mind, we shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. It is a pleasure to greet you through this instrument. We of Hatonn will now attempt to use this instrument in the near future. We are pleased with the progress of this instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. May we say we are most pleased with the progress of each of the new instruments and would now move to the one known as D2 and attempt to speak a few words through his instrument. If he would also relax and refrain from the analysis, we shall transfer this contact at this time. I am Hatonn.

(D2 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. We of Hatonn are most privileged to speak through this new instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. We would now move to the one known as E and attempt to speak a few words through this instrument. If he would relax and refrain from analysis, we shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(E channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you with this instrument. We are glad to work with any who seek our services. We have a simple message which you all have heard before. It is mainly of Love and is all there is. We are very pleased to have gone this far with this instrument. We will now transfer to the one known as Jim. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn and am once more with this instrument. May we take this opportunity to express our extreme gratitude for the patience which each within this circle of meditation has shown this evening as we have attempted to exercise those entities wishing to serve as instruments. We have found quite fertile ground within this group this evening, and are most pleased to discover that the desire to serve as instruments of Love and Light is quite strong within this group. We assure each new instrument that the contact which it experienced this evening was our contact. We are aware that each instrument experienced varying degrees of doubt, unsure of whether the words perceived in the mind were our transmission or were merely thoughts running through the mind of the instrument’s own manufacture. We have said before and now reiterate that each instrument shall experience this phenomenon in varying degrees. The doubt shall be diluted as practice is begun again and again within this group.

We suggest to each new instrument that the opening as a channel for our thoughts is both quite simple and quite difficult. It is simple for those who are willing to appear quite foolish and to allow our thoughts to be spoken by their own voices as they appear within their minds. It is quite difficult for those who would wish to maintain a certainty that they shall not appear foolish, for my friends, upon your planet at this time it is the experience of any who seek to love that this experience shall render one quite familiar with the feelings of foolishness. For upon your planet it is quite foolish, it would seem, to love without the expectation of return, to give for no reason other than to give to one who needs and it is true also that for those who seek to be of a specific type of service, that which you call the channeling, that the experience of foolishness shall also be reflected, for it is, apparently, it would seem, to new instruments not a particular energy associated with that instrument which is being allowed to pass through the channel.

In this session Hatonn was speaking about how they were helping members of the circle to become instruments. They began by saying we would like to express our gratitude for the patience which each within this circle of meditation has shown this evening as we have attempted to exercise those entities wishing to serve as instruments because we have found fertile ground within this group, and we are pleased to discover that the desire to serve as instruments of Love and Light is strong within this group, so we assure each new instrument that the contact which it experienced this evening was our contact, but we are aware that each instrument experienced varying degrees of doubt, unsure of whether the words perceived in the mind were our transmission or were merely thoughts running through the mind of the instrument’s own creation, so we have said before that each instrument shall experience this phenomenon in varying degrees, and the doubt shall be diluted as practice is begun again and again within this group. Hatonn went on to say we suggest to each new instrument that the opening as a channel for our thoughts is both simple and difficult, for it is simple for those who are willing to appear foolish and to allow our thoughts to be spoken by their voices as they appear within their minds, but it is difficult for those who would wish to maintain a certainty that they shall not appear foolish, for upon your planet at this time it is the experience of any who seek to love that this experience shall render one familiar with the feelings of foolishness, for upon your planet it is foolish to give for no reason other than to give to one who needs, and it is true also that for those who seek to be of a specific type of service, that channeling is that experience of foolishness that shall be reflected, for it is to new instruments not an energy associated with that instrument which is being allowed to pass through the channel. On October 25, 1990, Q’uo described how we can become an instrument:

If it would be helpful to you in your preparation for one of these sessions of working to make a conscious dedication to open the instrument and the self freely, then this would be well. In our way of perceiving your desire to serve as instruments, we see that this commitment has been made when the commitment to serve as an instrument has been undertaken. Because the first work of the instrument is upon the self, and the clearing of and balancing of those energy centers in need of such is undertaken, so this means that each wishing to serve as an instrument presents itself, and its course of study, which is the self, freely.

We of Hatonn are your brothers and sisters on the search and the journey for Love and unity with the Creator. Thus, we are none other than your other selves, and that which we transmit through your instrument is none other than the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator which exists within your very being. Therefore, it is not something which is alien to you, but which you are most intimately acquainted with when you open your being to the experience of the Love that resides within.

Then Hatonn said if it would be helpful in your preparation for one of these sessions of working to make a conscious dedication to open the instrument of the self freely, then this would be well, for in our way of perceiving your desire to serve as instruments, we see that this commitment has been made when the commitment to serve as an instrument has been undertaken because the first work of the instrument is upon the self and the clearing and balancing of those energy centers in need of such is undertaken which means that each wishing to serve as an instrument presents itself, and its course of study, which is the self, freely. On May 12, 2021, Q’uo spoke of the desire to serve as instruments:

We thank each of you for your great desire to serve as instruments not only for the Confederation of Planets and service for the One Creator, but for that One Creator that exists within all entities and all things. We join you in this great service, and we are honored to be called to your group this morning to offer our information concerning the various queries that you have prepared to ask.

May we thank each in this group for the patience and the desire to be of such service. At this time we would transfer this contact to another instrument so that we might offer ourselves in the service of answering questions. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We wish at this time to further exercise this channel by offering your questions to him, which shall be for him a new experience and we seek to deepen our contact with this instrument by this means at this time.

Are there any questions?

R: Hatonn, the entity called Sadat—was this entity a wanderer and, if so, from where?

I am Hatonn, and I am aware of your question. My brother, the entity known to you as Sadat was an entity seeking as do you. We cannot, due to the Law of Free Will, tell you whether or not any in your density is or is not what you term a wanderer, but we may say that the one known as Sadat was aware of Love and Light and was very oriented toward service to others. He was an open receiver and he did much. As an example of one who has begun to strengthen his polarization towards Light, he was however, toward the end of his physical existence, subject to the same influences that have affected others of your world who have or had begun to be an example for others, open to both aspects of Love and Light, and was having difficulties with his polarization, but he is an aware individual such as you seek—correction—are and seek to come more so.

May we answer you further, my brother?

R: No, thank you.

Hatonn: We thank you, my brother. Are there any other questions?

E: I’d like to ask you about something that you were just talking about. When people open up to selfless Love, they can appear foolish, and it struck me that there was something very sad about Sadat’s death in that, as an example, when Nasser died, millions of people were mourning in the streets, and there was a tremendous show of sympathy and respect for him, but when Sadat died the ceremonies were closed to the public and there didn’t appear to be more than a few thousand real mourners for his death, and I would like to know if that might be an example of the foolishness that you were talking about?

I am Hatonn, and I am aware of your question.

[Side one of tape ends.]

(C channeling)

…but were waiting for the clicking of the tape to be …

[The recording tape is blank for a few seconds.]

(C channeling)

…the mourning, for it is a step that all must take, and, in this case, it would seem that the man known as Sadat was a—how you might say—an individual in an area where many are seeking to be collectively one in a territorial type of behavior. He was a man unafraid to do those things that flowed within and throughout him. He was, for the most part, isolated by choice from many of what you would call his countrymen and fellow entities.

In this particular area of your planet there is great fear and apprehension on many people’s parts to fully express their feelings, for in this area—as it seems throughout your planet—people attempt to influence and dominate others through violence and threats thereof. We can assure you that the feelings of many were suppressed because of fear, and say that the mourning, as you term it, was much greater than what you were able to see through your information gathering sources. His was for many people of your planet a great loss, for he was an example to them of what one can accomplish by doing that which is flowing within them as manifested by physical actions. In this case the actions were far-reaching, for he occupied a position on your planet of leadership that affected many. But we wish once again to say that death is not necessarily the time to mourn, for as is taught in many of your religions, it is the next step.

May we answer you further?

E: No, thank you. Thank you.

Hatonn: We thank you. We wish to say that one need not affect many by allowing oneself to flow with that Light within them, but we say that as one shines, that they are seen and that they, by flowing within themselves, touch others, whether they actively seek to do so or not, for we all are Love and Light and the flowing of Love and Light touches all those around those who become aware.

Are there any other questions?

R: Yes. The material that I’ve been hearing tonight is very similar to material that I have heard before. Perhaps the main reason why I came tonight was because of my interest in the new material that is included in the new book, The Law of One, from the social memory complex described as Ra. So, I would like to know what the connection is between what we have been listening to and what is documented in that book?

I am Hatonn, and am aware of your question. My brother, ours is but a simple message and will many times seem repetitious, for we deliver a message of Love and Light and seek to encourage the use of meditation as a means of becoming more aware. The material in the book, The Law of One, comes from a source, though part of the Confederation, a different density with somewhat different guidelines which they follow. While we both are limited by the Law of Free Will, or distortion, as it is referred to in the The Law of One book, the source known to you as Ra seeks to compensate for what it sees as mistakes that it made in previous contacts with your planet. The aim of both the book, The Law of One, and our contact is basically the same. While the approach is different, both seek to make those entities of your planet who seek growth more aware of the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator. Material that is presented by Ra or the message we seek to convey are aimed at the same end: to aid your planet and the entities upon it in their seeking.

May we answer you further, my brother?

[Inaudible]

M: Hatonn, I’m interested in a concise answer as to how one can protect themselves from being drained when sending energy to others.

I am Hatonn, and I am aware of your question. My brother, sending of Light to others need not be to you physically draining, for as you know, Light may be conveyed to other entities while in meditation, which is a non-draining activity, for while in meditation the Light flows more freely and a great effort is not necessary to convey Light to another.

May we answer you further?

M: Perhaps. Often in meditations with a group, I will leave a group feeling very, very charged, but in meditations alone I will sometimes come out of a meditation feeling very, very tired. I feel sometimes drained. Is this just my imagination, or is there a way to be drained of energy in meditation?

My brother, I am Hatonn, and am aware of your question. For many who meditate alone, for that matter, within a group, there are times when one may sometimes temporarily, partially, separate themselves from their physical body. This activity, though not necessarily done, as you would say, deliberately, may occur and is draining upon your vital energies. This experience may be avoided, as well as the draining effect, by beginning one’s meditations with some form of centering of your energies, by, in some cases, praying or just the performing of some small ritual to center one’s energies for the purpose intended. By doing this one may avoid the draining that occurs sometimes in meditation.

May we answer you further, my brother?

M: No, you’ve answered me now. Thank you.

Hatonn: Thank you, my brother. May we answer another question?

L: Yes. Hatonn, earlier this evening and on a number of other occasions, I’ve felt, I guess you’d call it, access, to a high intensity energy that seemed to be directable. Could you explain to me the source of this energy and how it is I’m tapping into it?

I am Hatonn, and I am aware of your question. My brother, energies that you feel are simply yours flowing and are energies which are always present and available to you. As you have developed and grown through your meditations, these energies are becoming more available to you.

May we answer you further?

L: Yes. As these energies have been dormant for the majority of my life, it seems to me that they’re not necessary for my physical existence. What purpose do they serve, or to what purpose can they be used?

Hatonn: My brother, those energies that you may tap may be used as you wish them to be used, for as with any energy source, he who taps them determines what they shall do with them. Those energies which you are becoming more aware of are there as a means of achieving those things which you wish to achieve.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No, I thank you for your help.

Hatonn: We thank you. Is there another question?

[The sound of a cat choking in the kitchen is heard.]

Although the sounds tonight are not quite as pleasant as those of your creatures in nature, we would again be amiss if we merely hung around to listen. So, we will, at this time transfer this contact to the one known as D2 and attempt to end with a few words through him. We are known to you as Hatonn. Adonai, my friends.

(D2 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you with this instrument. We of Hatonn are …

(W channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. We are greatly pleased with the progress of the new instruments in the room. We encourage each of you to continue in your meditations as often as it is possible for each of you to do so. We bid you adonai, and leave you in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator.

This morning I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves from the front yard to a pile in the driveway. Then I put the leaves into three garbage cans.

This afternoon I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves in the back yard into two piles, and then I covered both of them with a tarp because all of my garbage cans are now filled with leaves.

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

November 29

Black, White And Gray

I am the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, of the consciousness of Love in the vibration which comforts this instrument. I greet you in the name of Love and in its full consciousness.

As always, we bring you news of the kingdom, the kingdom which you call heaven, but which is, in fact, the kingdom of true perception. For as you gaze about you within your quotidian days, your rituals and rites of dailiness, you judge and deem the nature of all things in shades of gray.

Yet in the kingdom of heaven are all things Light. The thought of blackness is possible as a supposition but as an actuality, the concept of the mixture of white and black becoming gray is unthinkable, for Light is exclusive to Light, and all things are filled with that Light to the exclusion of any shade or variation.

Thus, at this moment each soul is full of Light, full of life, and full of true perception. Yet your quotidian eyes bring about a curtain of shadow, an illusion which colors action and makes it possible.

Attempt, within your world of gray, as you act, to realize that behind all action there is an absolute reality. Therein lies the strength of faith and thence you may obtain the will to persevere in any circumstance, knowing that true perception shall yield to you the full consciousness of Love and the absolute Lucidity of light.

May peace be yours, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer for 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 today comes from October 4, 1981:

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. We are especially pleased to be able to speak to this group this evening. We pause for a moment while an adjustment is made.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. We are again with this instrument. As we were saying, we are always honored to be asked to join your meditations and are privileged to speak our words, humble though they be, to those whose ears and hearts are opened to the message of Love.

My friends, this evening we would say a few words about the perception of Love by entities upon your planet. We would begin by saying that there is no shortage of that commodity, shall we say, of Love. Many times each of this group, we are certain, has wondered if such a thing as Love might actually exist upon this planet, for much seems to be of an inharmonious nature. There seems to be much in the way of contention and strife between peoples, between groups and between nations, and this contention and its manifestation is apparent to all. Many there are among your people who seek in one way or another to speak of love and seem stifled to seek for Love and seem to come away empty. Many there are among your people who seem to experience nothing of the fruits of Love. Many there are among your people whose knowledge of Love seems to begin and end with the self.

My friends, we do not deny that this illusion of contention and strife is quite heavy upon your planet. We see, as we look from our vantage point of the density of Love, and we see each of your people engaged in activities which may be seen from various levels. These activities appear to most on your planet to be struggles for survival and gain for self, but, my friends, we must emphasize that this is an illusion in which you dwell. It is an illusion which has a very important purpose. Each activity, each situation, indeed each thought an entity encounters, serves as catalyst, an ingredient which of itself has no polarity, has no charge, shall we say, but when interacted with by an individual has the capability of allowing that individual to perceive in a variety of manners.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about the concept of Love. They began by saying we would say a few words about the perception of Love by entities upon your planet, and we would begin by saying that there is no shortage of that commodity of Love, so many times each of this group has wondered if such a thing as Love might actually exist upon this planet, for much seems to be of an inharmonious nature, for there seems to be much in the way of strife between people, between groups, and between nations, and this strife and its manifestation is apparent to all, so many there are who seek in one way or another to speak of Love and seem stifled to seek for Love and seem to come away empty, but many there are among your people who seem to experience nothing of the fruits of Love, and many there are among your people whose knowledge of Love seems to begin and end with the self. Hatonn went on to say we do not deny that this illusion of strife is heavy upon your planet, for we see, as we look from our vantage point of the density of Love, each of your people engaged in activities which may be seen from various levels, so these activities appear to most on your planet to be struggles for survival and gain for self, but we must emphasize that this is an illusion which has an important purpose, for each situation, and each thought an entity encounters, serves as catalyst which has no polarity, but when interacted with by an individual has the capability of allowing that individual to perceive in a variety of manners. On October 13, 2019, Q’uo described the general nature of catalyst:

My friends, we would suggest that all catalyst may be seen as positive or negative, for it is, in truth, neutral in its own beingness. The choice of each entity as to how the catalyst is used, determines the positive or negative nature of catalyst. Positively oriented entities, then, would look at any catalyst that they come before in their daily round of activities and use it in a manner which could produce positive polarization. Just so, negatively oriented entities may look at any catalyst that comes their way as negatively oriented if they are able to use it to dominate or control another, and thereby increase their own power of service to self. Thus, the catalyst itself is of a neutral nature. Its use, and how it is used, and what it produces, determines whether or not it may be seen to be positive or negative as a result.

Each individual has certain lessons to learn. These lessons will be expressed and pointed out by the reaction which the individual makes as a result of catalyst. Each entity has available to it the full range and power of Love as a response to each situation. You might see each situation with a range of possible responses. At one end we have the concern of the individual for self. At the other end we have Love. An individual will place itself at the proper position within this range of responses: there may be strife; there may be confusion; there may be frustration; there may be momentary acceptance and lapses into anger and then acceptance; there may be indifference; there may be a loving acceptance of the situation and all entities within it.

Always is this acceptance and Love a possibility, and you may yourself look at each situation which you find yourself in, and you may observe in retrospect your response to each situation and you may observe as you consciously seek for Love, understanding, compassion, and forgiveness, that you indeed are slowly, but surely, ever so surely, proceeding along the path of Love. For it has been truly said, that those who seek shall find, that those who knock upon the door of Love shall find that door opened unto them and shall find the bounty of love pouring forth from their very being, for that door upon which you knock is within your heart of hearts, may we say, and as you seek for Love and understanding, each seeking is as a knock upon this door. Each time that you find one more ounce, shall we say, of Love added to the scales of your own response you shall find the balance tipping towards Love. It is not often in your illusion that one finds Love at every turn. It is most often the case that entities discover another part of the range of responses available, but, may we say that Love does make itself available at every turn in your activities, for it is within your own being and therefore, your own grasp.

Hatonn went on to say each individual has lessons to learn that will be pointed out by the reaction which the individual makes as a result of catalyst, for each entity has the power of Love as a response to each situation, so you might see each situation with a range of possible responses, and at one end we have the concern of the individual for the self, and at the other end we have Love, so an individual will place itself at the proper position within this range of responses: there may confusion, and there may be momentary acceptance and lapses into anger and then acceptance, or there may be indifference or a loving acceptance of the situation and all entities within it. Hatonn continued by saying always is this acceptance and Love a possibility, and you may look at each situation which you find yourself in, and you may observe as you consciously seek for Love, understanding, and forgiveness that you are surely proceeding along the path of Love, for it has been said that those who seek shall find, and that those who knock upon the door of Love shall find that door opened unto them and shall find the bounty of Love pouring forth from their being, for that door upon which you knock is within your heart of hearts, and as you seek for Love and understanding, each seeking is as a knock upon this door, so each time that you find one more ounce of Love added to the scales of your own response you shall find the balance tipping towards Love, but it is not often in your illusion that one finds Love at every turn, for it is most often the case that entities discover another part of the range of responses available, but Love does make itself available at every turn in your activities, for it is within your own being. On February 7, 1988, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our heart of hearts:

My brother, your steps may not be easy, but there is much of inner strength that can be gained in times of difficulty, and we recommend the meditation for as long as is necessary to discover where the heart of Love moves you most forcefully and surely at this time, for within your heart of hearts the plan for your life’s pattern which you proposed before this incarnation lies complete, and by intensely seeking this heart of hearts it shall be revealed to you in the way that is most appropriate at this time.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. We allowed this instrument to pause for a moment. We shall continue.

We are aware that there are a number of entities present this evening who wish to exercise their beginning abilities to serve as channels. We pass among this group of entities exercising each in turn and making our vibrations available for the familiarizing and vocalizing, if this is acceptable to each entity. We would remind each new channel that the relaxing of the mind and refraining from analysis is most important in this endeavor.

We would, at this time, begin with the one known as R and attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. We will now transfer this contact to the one known as R. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument once again. We feel that we have good contact with the one known as R. If he would simply speak our words which are present in his mind, we would then continue the message that he does perceive. We shall attempt this contact again. We now transfer once again to the one known as R. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. We thank the one known as R for his attempts in transmitting our message. We shall be with him in the future for renewed attempts.

We now move to the one known as S, and if she would relax, we shall now transfer this contact to this instrument. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument once again. We feel we have quite a strong contact with the one known as S and would suggest relaxing once again by the expelling of one or two deep breaths for this new instrument. We will attempt once again to make our thoughts available to the one known as S. I am Hatonn.

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am …

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. We thank the one known as S for her efforts in speaking our words. We assure this entity that the words which it was perceiving in its mind were indeed our thoughts, and the simple speaking of the words would continue their flow through this new instrument’s mind. We thank this entity for its great desire, and we shall now pass to the one known as D1. If she would relax and refrain from analysis, we would attempt to speak a few words through this new instrument. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are quite pleased with our contact with this new instrument and shall attempt at a future time to renew and improve this contact. We are aware of the difficulty of vocalizing our thoughts in a large group. We move now to the one known as D2, and shall attempt to transmit our thoughts through this new instrument. If he would relax and refrain from analysis, we shall now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are aware that there is some degree of analysis that is interfering with this contact with this new instrument. We would assure this instrument that our thoughts are being correctly perceived and need only be spoken. We shall attempt this contact once again. We now transfer to the one known as D2. I am Hatonn.

(D2 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you through this new instrument. We are pleased with the progress of the instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am once again with this instrument. May we thank the one known as D2 for his efforts in transmitting our thoughts. We are most pleased with this new instrument’s progress this evening and look forward to making our contact available to each of the new instruments at what you would call future meditations.

We are always most gratified by those of your people who seek to serve in this manner, for thusly do we find more and more entities willing and able to share our message of Love and Light, and by this service to the one Creator are all lifted into that Love and Light. We also wish to express our gratitude to each of those in this group who have given the service of patience while we work with the new instruments. We cannot thank each here enough for this service. We would now open this meditation to the questions if any present would have the queries that are seeking an answer which we may humbly provide. Are there any questions at this time?

D: First of all, I’d like to thank you for your patience with us who try to channel, and my first question is the obvious one, it being my first channeling experience. Was the contact I was receiving—or were the words I was vocalizing a genuine contact, or was I making those up as I went along?

I am Hatonn. My brother, may we say your vocalization of our words was completely correct. It may seem to new instruments that the thoughts which are perceived within the mind are the thoughts of the instrument itself. We are aware of this phenomenon and assure each new instrument that though it may seem the manufacture of words comes from the instrument, there is indeed a transmission taking place, and it is of a fine or ephemeral, shall we say, nature. This transmission shall become more easily accomplished as the instrument is exercised time and again and shall become much easier to, shall we say, perceive as a transmission of our thoughts in your future.

May we answer your further, my brother?

D: No, that subject [inaudible]. Thank you very much. I have one other question, and I’ll stop taking up your time. Our scientists have discovered a great void in the Universe as is visible from this planet, a void—an area of the universe totally void of any apparent galaxies, of stars, of anything at all. It’s highly unusual, at least for the way that we visualize the universe. Could you comment on this?

I am Hatonn. My brother, there are many, shall we say, unusual situations throughout the one infinite Creation of the Creator. Unusual to many upon your plane, but not so unusual to those who have expanded, shall we say, their field of vision from microscope and telescope to the vision within. The area of which you speak of as a void may also be looked at with other eyes. Each area or part of the creation is as a being and may be looked upon as a living being of one kind or another. Such voids, as they have been described by your scientists, may be seen to be quite advanced beings existing in the octave density, shall we say, and existing in a manner which we ourselves do not completely understand or even approach in understanding. That all such areas are beings is without a doubt, in our own way of thinking. Just what the nature of the existence of such beings is, we may say we share your ignorance.

May we answer you further, my brother?

D: No, thank you.

Hatonn: We thank you, as always. Is there another question at this time?

M: Yes, I have a question. Perhaps, Hatonn, you can teach me something. In the Ra works, we look at service-to-self versus the service of others and how an entity grows on each path. I see some conflicts for the service-to-others type forming in a competitive leadership role. I see a very strong service-of-self influence in that type of situation. Is there anything you can teach me that would help me avoid the service-of-self influence and a leadership role?

I am Hatonn. We are aware of your question, my brother, and would attempt to be of service by saying that the range of opportunities available to such an entity in what you might call a leadership role is quite wide and does include that which may be called the service-to-self possibility, but does also include, as we mentioned in our opening message, the possibility of service to others and the full reflection of the experience of Love.  

It is, my brother, quite the position to decide what the purpose and the means of putting the purpose into motion shall be for leadership, for leadership of itself does not necessarily imply contention with others against others or in any way imply a disharmonious being within the entity expressing and exercising the leadership. Each position, each role that an entity finds itself in upon your planet has this full range of possibilities available in its exercise. We would simply suggest that to focus upon the role alone is to focus upon the mechanics of the experience and not the heart of the experience. The heart of the experience lies within the entity, within the experience. It is up to each entity to determine what shall be the purpose of the action, what shall be the purpose of the being. How shall Love be sought? How shall Love be expressed? How shall Love be shared? There is no experience upon your planet that does not offer the possibility of the expression of Love.

M asked: “In the Ra works, we look at service-to-self versus the service of others and how an entity grows on each path. I see some conflicts for the service-to-others type forming in a competitive leadership role. I see a very strong service-of-self influence in that type of situation. Is there anything you can teach me that would help me avoid the service-of-self influence and a leadership role?” Hatonn replied by saying that the range of opportunities available to such an entity in a leadership role is wide and includes the service-to-self possibility, but it also includes the possibility of service to others and the full reflection of the experience of Love. Then Hatonn said it is the decision as to what the purpose and the means of putting the purpose into motion shall be, for leadership does not imply contention with others against others or in any way imply a disharmonious being within the entity exercising leadership, for each role that an entity finds itself in upon your planet has this full range of possibilities available in its exercise, so we would suggest that to focus upon the role alone is to focus upon the mechanics of the experience and not the heart of the experience, for the heart of the experience lies within the entity and the experience, so it is up to each entity to determine what shall be the purpose of the action, what shall be the purpose of the being, and: “How shall Love be sought? How shall Love be expressed? How shall Love be shared?”  So Hatonn said there is no experience upon your planet that does not offer the possibility of the expression of Love. On May 4, 1986, L/Leema spoke of the nature of the expression of Love:

The degree to which pain of the experience accompanies the experience is the degree to which, we would suggest, that the mind has formed the boundaries within which Love is allowed to express, for if there are no conditions or boundaries to the expression of Love, there can be no pain accompanying the loss of such Love, for there will be no loss.

The Love of which we speak is that which exists in all events, and, indeed, is the creative force that moves all entities and events. Thus, the condition of the romantic form or approximation of love is one which, shall we say, has tapped a certain path or channel to Love and which forms certain boundaries within which the Love may express. The boundaries are of mental construction and are not necessary except for the learning of certain lessons having to do with what may be seen both as a limitation of Love from the universal point of view, or perhaps the expansion of love from the personal point of view.

May we answer you further, my brother?

M: No, thank you.

Hatonn: Again, may we thank you. Is there another question at this time?

L: Hatonn, I had an experience several years ago where while sleeping I received some very, very vivid images that I had assumed were recollections of past lives here on this planet. Is that or is that not correct?

I am Hatonn. My brother, we must apologetically refrain from answering this query, for we find that by so doing we would be, shall we say, robbing you of your own efforts in the seeking for the answer.

May we aid you in another way, my brother?

L: Within the limitations of your service could you give me information on the following problem? I seem to have recollections of previous lives on this planet, yet during a recent regression, recollected an immediately prior existence on a different planet. Can you give me any information that might help me balance this?

I am Hatonn. My brother, in this area, we may speak in general and say that it is not unusual for an entity who seeks a certain type of information to experience in what you call regressive hypnosis an experience of a lifetime in which this type of information was contained. The lifetime may or may not have been the immediately previous …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument once again. As we were saying, the nature and the strength of the seeking of a certain type of material within the mind are the determining factors for what shall be recalled upon the experience of that known to you as regressive hypnosis. You have had an experience of this nature, and you have received a certain type of information. You may ascertain by the efforts of your own seeking in this area whether you have recalled that which was previous to this life or which was more removed.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes. In either of the situations I described, is it possible I received input from another individual’s experiences?

I am Hatonn. My brother, we are somewhat fettered by the reality that all things are possible. We can only say in this instance that the possibility is somewhat slight.

May we answer you further?

L: No, and I thank you for your service.

I am Hatonn. We are most grateful, as well, for your own. Is there another question at this time?

Carla: I’d like to ask a question which you may not be able to answer. In doing the Ra contact work we’ve run up against an anomaly, and, to the best of our intuition, it seems that we need to add an aspect of a sacramental ritual of some sort to the preparation for contact and for protection. Can you in any way confirm this?

I am Hatonn. My sister, we can speak in no way upon this matter. Can we be of service in any other way?

Carla: It’s nice having you around.

I am Hatonn. Our pleasure is immense at the invitation to join this group in any manner, and we thank you as well. May we answer another question at this time?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. We shall at this time transfer this contact to another instrument for a closing thought. I am Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. It is our pleasure and our privilege to be of service to those who strive for greater awareness. We are humbly grateful for this opportunity, for unlike many of our brothers and sisters of the Federation who serve, we have been blessed with the opportunity to serve those aware of our presence and able to share with us their Love of one another and of the universe which contains them, and being a portion of the latter, we are the grateful recipients of that immense gift. My brothers, my sisters, we of Hatonn thank you and ask only that if there be a situation in your daily lives in which we may be of service, however small, however brief, however insignificant, that you would call upon us that we may, with gratitude, in some way return the wonderful gift that you have given us.

In the Love and the Light of the Creator, I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Nona, and I am with this instrument. We come tonight in answer to a strong calling for our specialty of healing.

[Carla channels a song from Nona.]

This morning I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves from the north side of the driveway into a pile in the driveway. Then I put the leaves into ten garbage cans for yard waste pickup next Thursday.

This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed and cat food. My second stop was at PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My third stop was at Kroger’s where I bought three bottles of sugar free Mango juice and two large Quiche containers. My fourth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some more food for myself. My fifth stop was at AutoZone where I bought two small containers of 50:1, 2-cycle engine oil. My last stop was at Walgreen’ Drug Store where I bought some Kleenex, some 4-gal. trash bags, and I picked up a prescription of Mupirocin.

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

November 28

Contemplate Freedom

I am the voice of Him who comes in the name of Love, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

How many things are before each of you today, things that seem to be cages, traps, limitations, and limiters of freedom?

This day, let us contemplate freedom. For what is it to be free?

To be free is to be that entity which realizes itself an actor, an heir of Christ and a child of the Creator, an affirmative and utterly free sensibility and consciousness.

The outer details and conditions of this day need have veritably no relevancy to your self-concept of the joy of freedom. For if, in your heart and in your mind, you are free to think, and to choose, and to act, then you have found the greater portion of Love. For you are then able to act, to Love, to comfort, and to seek to understand.

Use the freedom that is yours affirmatively, not against or in spite of people or conditions, but moving always straight as the arrow to its mark, knowing, feeling and being free: free to Love, free to understand, and free to console. And as you console, so shall you be comforted.

The spirit of Jesus Christ is with you always in Love and peace, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Laitos/Hatonn channeling this session comes from September 27, 1981:

(C channeling)

I am Laitos, and I am with this instrument. We greet you in the Love and Light of our infinite Creator. We are most privileged to be with you this evening. We have but a brief message, and that is that we are [inaudible] we are with each who wish to experience more fully that channeling vibration [inaudible].

I am Laitos. I am Laitos, and am once again with this instrument. We are only too happy and feel privileged to work with those who seek to be of service [inaudible] known as channeling to you and tell you that we will be with those who call to us in their meditation [inaudible] to serve others is a very—correction—is a positive step toward your own growth in your seeking to become ever more aware of the Creator, and we say that the activity you call channeling is but one humble means of service within your everyday lives. You are constantly exposed to situations in which each makes their own conscious decisions as to whether that individual will serve others, or only partially help others, or to shut the others out. In your search to become aware you find that ever increasingly so in the situations you will less and less refuse others but will become more in tune with the feeling and needs of others in relation to your dealings with them. But we say that to aid and serve the others, we say that it occurs only as you begin to know self or to know oneself is to know the other, for it ultimately boils down to the awareness of that we all are one.

In groups or as individuals, you seek, and we of Laitos again say that we will aid your seeking for we seek to serve, for as you, we seek to know ourselves and seek to grow as do you and your peoples. We are known to you as Laitos. We are your friends, and we are your fellow travelers on a road that you have begun to tread. We thank you for the opportunity to speak briefly and will at this time leave this instrument. We are known to you as Laitos. Adonai, my friends.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We were attempting to contact the one known as L, both previously and before we spoke through this instrument, but we find that this instrument’s mind is somewhat preoccupied with the recent experiences which it has undergone and, therefore, we happily will speak through this instrument. We thank each instrument for the service that it provides in allowing us to share our thoughts with you for whatever worth they may be.

My friends, these are the ways and the parables of service. As we have said to you before—to those who are present—speaking of meditation, of seeking, and of the Love that unified and creates us all, is speaking of those things which are known. Therefore, it is possible for us to continue. Each of you present in this domicile is at this time seeking to become aware of the ways of service. Thus, we would ask you to visualize the flower, the flower who decides that it will not be of service and will not accept service, but will remain independent. Sun shines upon the flower, and before the flower thinks, it opens and receives Light. Rain falls upon the flower, and before the flower can realize it, its roots have drunk and retained health and growth. The bud opens and becomes the blossom. And before the flower has time to think, that animal which you call the bee has taken from it and given to it the propagation of its life that it may continue. And the services that it has given, why, it has forgotten. It has inadvertently been beautiful, giving to each passerby a vision of perfection, of radiance, and of beauty. It has given to the bee who gave it life, the honey which sustains the bee, and has breathed out into the atmosphere that which the humans need to survive—the oxygen which those of your planet who are your peoples, must have.

My friends, there is no way that you can refrain from accepting service and being of service. You are interlocked and meshed in the tapestry of giving and receiving, and it takes a great deal of effort to refrain from the realization of all that you receive and all that you may give. We are sad to report that among your people it is not uncommon for people to realize that they are receiving gifts from others, but it is very common for people to refrain from the realization that they have many gifts to give, and that they are giving those gifts without effort, without trying, with their very existence. For each of you, my friends, like a flower, is beautiful and radiant and perfect and although you may not see yourself in this light, there are those who do, and who find in each of you an inspiration of thought, of feeling that that person needs and realizes, although you have no consciousness of being of service.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak upon the way, that we can be of service. They began by saying these are the ways and the parables of service, and as we have before—to those who are present—speaking of meditation, and of the Love that unified and creates us all, is speaking of those things which are known, so it is possible for us to continue, for each of you in this home is seeking to become aware of the ways of service, so we ask you to visualize the flower who decides that it will not be of service and will not accept service but will remain independent, for the sun shines upon the flower, and before the flower thinks it opens and receives Light, and rain falls upon the flower, and before the flower can realize it, its roots have retained health and growth, so the bud opens and blossoms, and before the flower has time to think, that animal which you call the bee has taken from it and given to it the propagation of its life that it may continue, for the services that it has given, it has forgotten since it has accidentally been beautiful, giving to each passerby a vision of perfection and of beauty, so it has given to the bee who gave it life, the honey which sustains the bee, and has breathed out into the atmosphere that which the humans need to survive—the oxygen which those of your planet must have. Then Hatonn said there is no way that you can keep from accepting service and being of service, for you are interlocked in the tapestry of giving and receiving, and it takes a great deal of effort to refrain from the realization of all that you receive and all that you may give, but we are sad to report that among your people it is not uncommon for people to realize that they are receiving gifts from others, but it is common for people to refrain from the realization that they have many gifts to give, for each of you is like a flower:  beautiful and radiant, and although you may not see yourself in this light, there are those who do, and who find in each of you an inspiration of feeling that person needs and realizes, although you have no consciousness of being of service. On August 31, 1986, Latwii described the way we can be of service to an entity:

We find that the mysterious nature of this object is that quality which has the greatest potential of being of service to your people at this time. Therefore, we cannot give a precise definition of the object, its source, or purpose . . . other than to spark the interest in that which is beyond human knowledge.

My friends, the beginning of service comes before you are even aware of the process, as each of you is inevitably of service to others in your behavior, in your actions, in your thoughts. Thus, perhaps, before you try so very hard to learn the ways of service, it may be a good beginning to give thanks to the Love that is within you, that unifies you with all that there is and that creates in you a heart that receives and gives back that Love in so many ways, with so many devices, that your life is a flowing tapestry of the giving and the receiving of service. Never, my friends, are you out of touch with the life of service. In your most selfish or secluded moment, you are but pausing and learning, adding your sums wrongly and thinking again, for the essence of your life is Love, and it is out of your hands. You, like the flower, will glow according to your nature and those about you will realize the Love within you, without effort, without trying, without pain.

My friends, there is much that we could say about the kind of service that is conscious, consciously chosen, consciously pursued, and at another time we shall speak these things in as many ways as we feel might be helpful, but at this time we wish to give you a bedrock of understanding about your nature. My friends, you are Love. You are a part of the original Thought of the Creator. There is not any variation from this simple understanding of yourself, and thus, if your feelings about your efforts in this incarnation are that you could be trying harder, that you could be doing better, that you could be more loving, more giving—lay these thoughts to rest. It is well to have a will to be of service, but it is first well to know your nature, to feel the bedrock of Love, to feel your unity, your harmony, your interdependence, the meshing of your lives with all your brothers and sisters. You are all that you seek. Thus, my friends, bloom as you will and remember to give thanks, for the nature of the creation is one of great joy, and there is much thanks to offer that we may experience living in such a creation. Step out of the illusion at any time this bedrock strays too far from your feet, for it is quite central to your progress that you remain aware of your identity.

Haton continued by saying the beginning of service comes before you are aware of the process, as each of you is of service to others in your actions and in your thoughts, so before you try so hard to learn the ways of service, it is a good beginning to give thanks to the Love that is within you, that unifies you with all that there is and that creates in you a heart that receives and gives back that Love in so many ways that your life is a tapestry of giving and receiving of service, but never are you out of touch with the life of service, for in your most selfish moment you are learning and adding your sums wrongly and thinking again, for the essence of your life is Love, and it is out of your hands, so you, like the flower, will glow according to your nature, and those about you will realize the Love within you, without effort and without pain. Hatonn continued by saying there is much that we could say about the kind of service that is consciously chosen, and at another time we shall speak these things in as many ways as we feel might be helpful, but at this time we wish to give you a bedrock of understanding about your nature, for you are Love, and you are a part of the original Thought of the Creator, for there is not any variation from this understanding of yourself, and if your feelings about your efforts in this incarnation are that you could be doing better, that you could be more loving, more giving—lay these thoughts to rest because it is well to have a will to be of service, but it is first well to know your nature as the bedrock of Love, to feel your unity, your harmony, and the meshing of your lives with all your brothers and sisters, for you are all that you seek, so bloom as you will and remember to give thanks, for the nature of the creation is one of great joy, and there is much thanks to offer that we may experience living in such a creation, so step out of the illusion at any time this bedrock strays too far from your feet, for it is central to your progress that you remain aware of your identity. 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; we can 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.

The illusion is strong and ofttimes dark, my friends. But there is a Light within you, and you are the Creator’s own. You shall never be forgotten. You shall never be lost. For all who seek begin to intensify that Light more and more. As your Light becomes brighter, so shall you begin to Light the way of others and so may it go. Perhaps you cannot see your Light. Many do not. Others will tell you. Trust no words, no thoughts, no behavior in yourself or others, but be grounded in the knowledge of your birthright, of your identity in the Light. Call upon it, speak to it and never fear that you shall be lost from it.

We would at this time transfer the contact. We thank you for allowing us to share these thoughts and ask you to take what you will from them. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn and am with this instrument and greet you all once again in Love and Light. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in the answering of any queries which those present might have the use in the asking. Are there any questions at this time?

D: Hatonn, the entity known to us as Jesus, on His leaving our planet, told us that He would leave what He called the Holy Spirit behind to guide and direct us through our daily lives. Would you, or could you classify yourself as part of this Holy Spirit?

I am Hatonn. My brother, in response to this query, may we say that many are those who are numbered among the legions of Light, the same Light sources and messengers which the one known to your people as Jesus of Nazareth was also a member. When this entity known to you as Jesus spoke the words that you have just recited, He was speaking of many such as ourselves and others of the Confederation who offer themselves as the most humble of messengers. We and our brothers and sisters of the Confederation offer our messages of Love and Light as a comfort and an inspiration to those of your planet who call for our service. In joy do we offer this service; in Love do we send our thoughts; in Light do we experience the oneness of the Creator. All of this we offer as a service to your people.

There is also another source which you may find that may also be described as the Comforter, spoken of by the entity called Jesus. This source may be found by each entity so seeking in meditation, for as you still your mind, as you open your heart, and as you open your innermost being to the Creator in Love, there shall you find that small, still voice within, which shall also be of great comfort to you as you proceed on that path of spiritual evolution. We of Hatonn have, through many instruments and in many of your meditations, spoken of the necessity for meditation for those who wish to seek the Creator. Within meditation shall you find the Creator. Within meditation, shall you find the fruits of your labor of evolution.

D asked: “Hatonn, the entity known to us as Jesus, on His leaving our planet, told us that He would leave what He called the Holy Spirit behind to guide and direct us through our daily lives. Would you, or could you classify yourself as part of this Holy Spirit?” Hatonn replied that many are those who are numbered among the legions of Light, the same Light sources and messengers which Jesus of Nazareth was also a member, and when Jesus spoke the words that you have recited, He was speaking of many such as ourselves and others of the Confederation who offer themselves as the most humble of messengers, so we and our brothers and sisters of the Confederation offer our messages of Love and Light as an inspiration to those of your planet who call for our service, for in joy do we offer this service, and in Love do we send our thoughts, and in Light do we experience the oneness of the Creator, so all of this we offer as a service to your people. Now Hatonn said there is another source which you may find that may also be described as the Comforter, spoken of by Jesus, and this source may be found by each entity seeking in meditation, for as you still your mind, as you open your heart of your innermost being to the Creator in Love, there shall you find that small, still voice within, which shall also be of great comfort to you as you proceed on that path of spiritual evolution, for we have, through many instruments and in many of your meditations, spoken of the necessity for meditation for those who wish to seek the Creator, for within meditation shall you find the Creator and the fruits of your labor of evolution. On May 26, 1974, Hatonn spoke of the value of our meditation:

My friends, within meditation make contact with the timeless, the infinite, the eternal truth of creation. Discover the Love and Light of the Creator. It is all about you, and if you are able to make contact it may flow to you and through you so that you are lifted upward along the spiritual path and are finally free of the illusion.

These experiences are necessary to you, my friends. They are simply your means of spiritually growing while you enjoy the physical experience. However, you need not be limited by the difficulties of this illusory existence. While you are learning you may also go within, my friends, and speed your learning considerably by contact with all that there is.

May we answer you further, my brother?

D: I would like for you just to maybe to expand on what part of that—that my own desire for finding this still, small voice within is extremely great and through my meditation recently the … I’ve had a difficult time stilling my mind and realizing the fruits of opening myself up to the Creator. Am I being too impatient? Do I need to just stick with it, or do you have any comment on that?

I am Hatonn. My brother, it is often the case with those expressing great desire to seek the Creator that the meditative state will at first resound with this great calling and this great desire. It is not unusual and should not be given too much emphasis or concern. Remain steady in your seeking and know that at each moment that you seek in the manner of meditation that there is a work that is being done within your being, whether you are aware of its fruits or not. The art of meditation, stated most simply, is that the seeker becomes more and more aware and conscious of this work that is done while meditation is undertaken. If at first you have few glimpses as to the nature of this work and in fact feel that little work could be accomplished amidst such clamor, rest your concerns, and your mind will also rest.

May we answer you further, my brother?

D: No. Thank you very much.

Hatonn: We thank you, as always, for allowing us to serve. Is there another question at this time?

L: Yes. I’ve been trying to do my meditations early in the morning and have been having considerable [inaudible]. Are there any suggestions you could make to improve my contact?

I am Hatonn. My brother, we could only add in your case to that which we have just spoken, that your desire to seek the Creator in your meditations is your strongest ally, and that this desire shall open new means for you to experience this contact. We cannot make specific suggestions as to when or how you might structure your meditative periods, but can only suggest that any time which you feel a desire for such contact might be utilized, no matter how short.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes. Who was the source of the writings by one known here as Saint Paul?

I am Hatonn. Unfortunately, my brother, information of this nature we may not divulge, for there are those who would be, shall we say, adversely affected if a full disclosure of this information was made. We do not wish to appear to evade questions of a serious nature, but we are unable to give this type of information concerning entities who are well known, shall we say, and much revered by your people.

May we be of further assistance, my brother?

L: No, you’ve answered my question. Thank you.

Hatonn: Again, we thank you. Is there another question at this time?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. As always, it has been a great honor to join this group in meditation. We would at this time transfer this contact and close through another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once more in the Love and the Light of that which you refer to as the Creator. It is a singular pleasure to experience the presence and the intensity of striving of those within this room tonight. My brothers, my sisters …

[Side one of tape ends.]

…we are unable to express fully the gratitude we feel for the opportunity to share what little we can contribute with those who strive that they may contribute so very much. We thank you for this honor and for the service you render us in patiently listening to our feeble efforts. In the Love and the Light, we of Hatonn bid you adieu. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Nona. I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are called here for healing vibrations at this time. We thank you for the opportunity to be of service.

[Carla channels a melody from Nona.]

Dear Law of One community,

It is the season of thanksgiving and praise for the blessing of this year in which we have been able to share the Confederation philosophy with spiritual seekers around the world.

It is because of the generous donations of readers like you that we are able to share this material for free and keep this little but determined mission bright and shining in the world. As we launch our annual appeal and plan for next year’s programs, we expect a budget shortfall. If you feel inspired, we would be very grateful for a gift of any size via our Donate page: https://www.llresearch.org/donate

You can also learn more about this year’s activities in one of two ways:

(1) The short version in the News article on our website: https://www.llresearch.org/news/2025/fundraiser

(2) The antithesis of a short version in our cinematic Blogworthy post: https://bring4th.org/blogworthy/

We are most grateful for being able to share our material with spiritual seekers who find it a useful and supportive resource on their journey, and we are honored to play even a tiny part in helping them to shine the Creator’s Love and Light to all others in this troubled world of conflict and separation. May peace and joy be yours.

Blessings in Love & Light,

Jim McCarty for the home team and a global network of L/L Research volunteers and family

This morning I went outside and took the netting off of the Vanilla-Strawberry Hydrangea in front of the fishpond and put it in the large garbage can. Then I used a leaf rake to rake two garbage cans full of leaves.

This afternoon I went outside and used a handsaw to saw a large, dead branch off of the bottom of one of the Burning Bushes on the left side of the fishpond. Then I broke it into five pieces and put it in one of the garbage cans next to the street that will be picked up tomorrow by the yard waste truck.

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

November 27

The Tide Of Spirit Within

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

The sea seems to flow, calm or stormy, with rhythms of its own. And only the sailor who gazes from the shore sees the water meet the earth. One who stands upon the strand of life sees that the water never rests, moving always in rhythm, utterly sensitive to those forces which cause it to advance upon the land and then retreat into the deeps.

So is the seeker’s soul, walking along that ever-changing tidal point of water and earth, of spiritual and natural man. The boundary is not clear but ever-moving and ever-responsive to those great forces of Spirit which move, alike, the waters of deep consciousness and the conscious creature who carries the seed within him.

Listen each day, each hour, to the sound of the tide of Spirit within, that you may ever draw sustenance from the water; that you may be unafraid of the deeps within you. For you are that sailor who stands upon the shore and makes the choices of when to wade and when to be immersed in spiritual consciousness.

We wish you peace, the peace of water ever-moving, the creative peace which rests in 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 Latwii channeling for this session comes from September 21, 1981:

(Carla channeling)

I am Latwii. Ho, ho, ho. This was intended to come through another channel, however, we needed to begin with this channel in order to give confidence to the one known as Jim. We greet you through this instrument in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are at the same time extremely glad and extremely sorry to be speaking to you instead of the brothers and sisters of your special teachers, the ones of Hatonn. However, this group entity has again returned to its duty, working in the Far East, as you would call it, working against the spread of disharmony upon your planet. We have been conditioning the one known as Jim while we have been speaking through this instrument, and we would again attempt to speak through the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument in gratitude for her quick senses of inner listening and in hopes of speaking through her many times in the future. We thank this instrument. I will now leave this instrument. I am called by your group Latwii.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am with this instrument. We greet you once again in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are pleased to be able to make this contact through this instrument, for we are aware that this instrument shall be away from this group in the near future, and he desires being able to continue this service as he embarks upon his journey and it will be necessary for this instrument to be able to initiate contacts with the Confederation and with our vibration when he is on his own.

We would speak a few words this evening upon the subject of harmony, for the vibration and condition of harmony is one which is not frequently found upon your planet, as is evidenced by the condition of your world situation at the present. Harmony is that state of being in tune with the infinite Creator which is achieved by desire. A desire for unification, a desire for knowing and experiencing that fullness of being which is the Creator within. Harmony is that force which helps to unite people in the relationships with each other, but it must be sought before it can be found, and it is unfortunate but it appears that few upon your planet seek harmony for it is an endeavor that includes the welfare of those around you and most of your people are pointed in the direction of their own interests and meeting them as best they can, fearing there will not be enough to go around.

The state of being within the individual which leads to harmony is the same state that opens doors to any step of growth within the individual, and that is the receptivity, the openness, and the desire for attaining such a state. It is often too easy to think only of the personal needs, desires, wishes, beliefs, and other codes which we set up for ourselves as we judge our lives. It is far too easy to consider only what one wants for oneself, instead of how to blend one’s being with another in the state of harmony.

In this session Latwii wanted to speak of the concept of harmony. They began by saying we would speak upon the subject of harmony, for the vibration of harmony is one which is not frequently found upon your planet, as is evidenced by the condition of your world situation at the present, for harmony is that state of being in tune with the infinite Creator which is achieved by desire for unification, a desire for knowing and experiencing that fullness of being which is the Creator within, and harmony is that force which helps to unite people in the relationships with each other, but it must be sought before it can be found, and it is unfortunate, but it appears that few upon your planet seek harmony, for it is an endeavor that includes the welfare of those around you, and most of your people are pointed in the direction of their own interests and meeting them as best they can, fearing there will not be enough to go around. Latwii went on to say the state of being within the individual which leads to harmony is the same state that opens doors to any step of growth within the individual, and that is the openness and the desire for attaining such a state, but it is easy to think only of the personal needs, beliefs, and other codes which we set up for ourselves as we judge our lives, so it is too easy to consider only what one wants for oneself, instead of how to blend one’s being with another in the state of harmony. On November 28, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the nature of harmony:

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

We would suggest to those who are desirous of attaining that state of harmony to consider that it is a state which is achieved with others, a state which is achieved in cooperative effort as individual entities blend their energies with each other, a task which usually entails a type of compromise of positions so that each may share with the other a common position and the sharing of the position, the belief, or the place is that which is harmony within that concept. We would suggest to those seeking such a balance point with themselves and with those around them that the first step is to give, to recognize the needs, rights and position of those close about you and that this state of giving, and accepting, and recognizing will be reciprocated by those with whom you are in close contact. For the state of giving is based on the concept of Love, that to give is to share that which is Love and that which is Love is recognized by the inner being of those to whom it is given, even though it may not be given directly as a gift of Love but may begin in more modest ways by the simple recognition of another person’s needs. We would suggest that harmony is that process whereby people in close communication join their beings even closer by agreeing to accept each other as they are and to work from that beginning point in a constant balancing of the needs, ideas and beliefs of each party.

Latwii went to say we would suggest to those who are desirous of attaining that state of harmony to consider that it is a state which is achieved in a cooperative effort as individual entities blend their energies with each other, a task which usually entails a type of compromise of positions so that each may share with the other a common position and the sharing of the position, the belief, or the place is that which is harmony within that concept, so we would suggest to those seeking such a balance point with themselves and with those around them that the first step is to recognize the needs and rights those close to you, and that this state of giving and accepting will be reciprocated by those with whom you are in close contact, for the state of giving is based on the concept of Love, that to give is to share that which is Love and is recognized by the inner being of those to whom it is given, even though it may not be given directly as a gift of Love but may begin in more modest ways by the recognition of another person’s needs, and we would suggest that harmony is that process where people in close communication join their beings even closer by agreeing to accept each other as they are and to work from that beginning point in a constant balancing of the needs and beliefs of each party. On September 28, 1980, Latwii described the nature of our giving and receiving:

We would suggest to those seeking such a balanced point with themselves and with those around them that the first step is to give: to recognize the needs, rights, and position of those close about you. And that this state of giving, and accepting, and recognizing, will be reciprocated by those with whom you are in close contact. For the state of giving is based upon the concept of Love; that to give is to share that which is Love, and that which is Love is recognized by the inner being of those to whom it is given, even though it may not be given directly as a gift of Love, but may begin in more modest ways by the simple recognition of another person’s needs. We would suggest that harmony is that process whereby people in close communication join their beings even closer by agreeing to accept each other as they are and to work from that beginning point in a constant balancing of the needs, ideas, and beliefs of each party.

We would at this time pause for a moment as Laitos passes among each in your group and makes their vibration available to those who are in need of deepening their meditation and of becoming familiar with the vibrations of the Confederacy. We speak specifically of the one known as L who has expressed this evening a desire to become a channel. We pause for a moment as Laitos passes among you.

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. We would at this time like to open this meeting to any questions. If any present would have a question, we would do our best to make an answer. Are there any questions?

Carla: I’ve been reading some cosmic communication ideas which have been run down by some people in the East, and I really have no doubt as to the truth of it, but I know they are not precisely in the same company with you guys, and I was wondering what your view was among your particular branch of the Confederation of what’s happening here? What about the great concern for the survival of leaders? Does that have some kind of implication as to what will happen at the beginning of the new age vibrations with a lot of old vibration people surviving?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your question and would answer you, my sister, simply by saying that the most appropriate phrase for this particular phase which your nation and those individuals who lead it are going through would perhaps be, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. For those who would seek to gain the whole world and yet lose their souls, what in truth and in spirit have they gained? For to hold on to that which is of the material world, that which has up to this point in the evolution of human history been unable to completely fulfill human entities upon your plane, to hold on so tightly to that which is of the material is to focus the energies of one’s being in a direction which is likened unto building a house upon sand, and we would suggest that those who engage in such activities and have no concern for the welfare of those whom they are governing, or those whom they have been chosen to serve, those whom it is a privilege to serve, these shall find that not only shall they not be serving such people or be in such high positions, but shall find themselves at the bottom of the pit of their own being which they have dug with their own hands.

And we would suggest that the new age shall see many different responses to the flow of energy which is now sweeping over your planet, and you may expect to see the most absurd of dramas appearing upon your world stage, for all the energies of the universe, it would seem, shall be sweeping across the stage of your planet. And you shall see many wonders, but those energies may be channeled and focused into creative elements and centers by those who are truly concerned with serving those who are their brothers and sisters. And to focus in the direction of the spirit is the means by which true survival shall be attained.

Carla asked: “I’ve been reading some cosmic communication ideas which have been run down by some people in the East, and I really have no doubt as to the truth of it, but I know they are not precisely in the same company with you guys, and I was wondering what your view was among your particular branch of the Confederation of what’s happening here? What about the great concern for the survival of leaders? Does that have some kind of implication as to what will happen at the beginning of the new age vibrations with a lot of old vibration people surviving?” Latwii began by saying that the most appropriate phrase for this phase which your nation and those individuals who lead it are going through would be the first shall be last, and the last shall be first, for those who would seek to gain the world and lose their souls, what in truth have they gained? Then Latwii said to hold on to that which is of the material world, that which has been unable to fulfill human entities upon your plane, to hold on so tightly to that which is of the material world is to focus the energies of one’s being in a direction which is likened unto building a house upon sand, and we would suggest that those who engage in such activities and have no concern for the welfare of those whom they are governing, those whom it is a privilege to serve, these shall find that not only shall they not be serving such people or be in such high positions, but shall find themselves at the bottom of the pit of their own being which they have dug with their own hands. Latwii continued by saying we would suggest that the new age shall see many different responses to the flow of energy which is now sweeping over your planet, and you may expect to see the most absurd of dramas appearing upon your world stage, for all the energies of the universe shall be sweeping across the stage of your planet, and you shall see many wonders, but those energies may be channeled and focused into creative elements and centers by those who are concerned with serving those who are their brothers and sisters, and to focus in the direction of the spirit is the means by which true survival shall be attained. On November 23, 1986, Q’uo described the energies that will be appearing upon the world stage:

There are many events occurring upon your world stage, shall we say, that seem interesting and even at times important. Yet we might suggest that these are but training aids that will allow the seeker of truth to penetrate beyond the appearance of importance to the heart of all things, which is Love, and which binds all entities together, whether their part upon the stage of the world may seem that of the villain attempting to control those about it with the tools of your cultures. Each seeks in a more or less distorted fashion to serve the one Creator in its own way. Many are the side roads upon this journey.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Well, I had a couple of other questions which you may answer at your discretion, of course. I’ve been very impressed by the Cosmic Awareness things that I’ve read, and I was wondering what your relationship in the Confederation was with this particular source? Is it a planetary source within the Confederation? Is it another source? What is the relationship between the two?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your question and can answer best by suggesting that the source of which you speak is a source which is most well known to those who are familiar with the works of Edgar Cayce. The source which is known as Cosmic Awareness appears to be simply that: an awareness of the state of being which is described as cosmic or of the consciousness of all being, and this source of information is now proceeding to reveal unto those of your people who are concerned about the new age, the pathway or process by which each may attune to these universal forces which we have spoken of as proceeding into your reality with such great speed at the present time, so to speak.

We cannot say whether the information revealed by this source is correct or incorrect, for it can never be known at the moment information is given whether it is correct or not, for the mere giving of information alters the situation which is being described. We would suggest with all sources of information, including especially our own, that those who are contacted with information of this nature consider carefully within themselves what they themselves believe, to evaluate carefully on your own concerning what you are reading or hearing and to make those judgments in light of competing or opposing information. For within your world you will discover there are infinite sources of information, and it is your task as entities upon your planet to sort and sift through the infinite variety of information available and to choose that which speaks within your own being.

Then Carla asked: “Well, I had a couple of other questions which you may answer at your discretion, of course. I’ve been very impressed by the Cosmic Awareness things that I’ve read, and I was wondering what your relationship in the Confederation was with this particular source? Is it a planetary source within the Confederation? Is it another source? What is the relationship between the two?” Then Latwii said the source of which you speak is a source which is well-known to those who are familiar with the works of Edgar Cayce, and the source which is known as Cosmic Awareness appears to be an awareness of the state of being which is described as cosmic or of the consciousness of all being, and this source of information is now proceeding to reveal unto those of your people who are concerned about the new age, the process by which each may attune to these universal forces which we have spoken of as proceeding into your reality with such great speed at the present time. Now Latwii said we cannot say whether the information revealed by this source is correct or incorrect, for it can never be known at the moment information is given whether it is correct or not, for the giving of information alters the situation which is being described, so we would suggest with all sources of information, including especially our own, that those who are contacted with information of this nature consider carefully on your own concerning what you are reading or hearing and to make those judgments in light of competing or opposing information, for within your world you will discover there are infinite sources of information, and it is your task as entities upon your planet to sort through the infinite variety of information available and to choose that which speaks within your own being. On October 5, 1980, Latwii spoke of the value of our own being:

We again would make the suggestion which we have made so often to your meditation group, that you engage yourselves in meditation daily, that you look within your own being for the signs, the directions and the answers which are necessary for your survival, that daily meditation is the most efficient means for tuning in to the energy of what might be called the flow of events, and that by so tuning your energy and your vibration into your planetary vibration you might most accurately decide which direction you shall proceed in.

May we answer you further?

Carla: Yes. Then I see that confirms what I thought about Cosmic Awareness, was that it did seem to be a planetary vibration in that, like the Cayce vibration, it comes from a much higher plane, inner plane of our own planet, close to the Akashic Record. I had pretty much of an idea in my head as to the type of information that they were giving and why they gave that type of information, as opposed to the philosophy that you give, and I just wondered if you would care to say anything on that subject in confirmation or changing of what I had basically thought?

I am Latwii, and would add only that information of a specific nature is most difficult to express clearly for the future, as you know is never fixed. Direction, propensities, tendencies, and likelihoods of directions of energy are the most easily pinpointed and transmitted information, but to say where an infinite variety of energies will eventually coincide is very difficult and is a task that we of the Space Confederation do not attempt with these types of contacts for the distortion factor would soon cause the information to become nearly worthless. It is for this reason that we attempt to give the basic groundwork and philosophy of Love and Light which we feel are so important to your people at this time. We do not feel that the revealing of specific names, and dates, and places, and events is most beneficial to those within your meditation group for this information can be obtained elsewhere, and we would be most pleased if we could, in our effort, plant the seeds of meditation, of Love, of Light, and of the seating of the divinity within each of your people’s being. We would suggest that those sources which are focusing in the area of more specific information can be of great value, but must be carefully evaluated upon their performance, and we would suggest being very cautious in the area of accepting, without further investigation, any specific information which is obtained, wherever it might be obtained.

Carla asked: “Then I see that confirms what I thought about Cosmic Awareness, was that it did seem to be a planetary vibration in that, like the Cayce vibration, it comes from a much higher plane, inner plane of our own planet, close to the Akashic Record. I had pretty much of an idea in my head as to the type of information that they were giving and why they gave that type of information, as opposed to the philosophy that you give, and I just wondered if you would care to say anything on that subject in confirmation or changing of what I had basically thought?” Latwii replied by saying that information of a specific nature is difficult to express clearly, for the future is never fixed, and tendencies and likelihoods of directions of energy are the most easily transmitted information, but to say where an infinite variety of energies will eventually coincide is difficult, and is a task that we of the Space Confederation do not attempt with these types of contacts for the distortion factor would soon cause the information to become worthless, so it is for this reason that we attempt to give the basic philosophy of Love and Light which we feel are important to your people at this time, but we do not feel that revealing specific names, dates, places, and events are beneficial to those within your meditation group, for this information can be obtained elsewhere, and we would be pleased if we could plant the seeds of meditation, Love,  Light, and of the seating of the divinity within each of your people’s being, so we would suggest that those sources which are focusing in the area of specific information can be of value, but they must be carefully evaluated upon their performance, and we would suggest being cautious in the area of accepting any specific information which is obtained. On August 27, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the danger of receiving specific information:

You must realize there is great danger in asking for specific information, for in specific information there dwells a great deal of nervousness on the part of the channel. Therefore, that vibration makes them more vulnerable to incorrect information.

May we answer you further, my sister.

Carla: Well, just a little bit. I would like to thank you, because I think you do work with the basic things and teach us Love and Light, but I wanted to check out the Cosmic Awareness people because I was just interested in them at this point. I made a few basic assumptions. Number one, that they were planetary; number two, that they were giving more precise information because, being planetary, they had a right to do so; and, number three, that they were able to put their probability guesses through because of the particular configuration of one channel, Paul Shockley. A lighter trance, the type of contact we have with you would never work for that information. It would take a different vibration. If you want to confirm any of those three. You confirmed the first one, I just wondered about the second two.

I am Latwii, and we would conclude our comments upon this subject simply by saying that the particular type of trance which is used in this contact of the Space Confederation is most beneficial to the type of message which we have to offer and are also appreciative of the efforts of those who would use the trance medium, for such an entity is indeed able to transmit information of a much different frequency or nature to that which we are able to transmit through our light trances, as you have spoken of them. We would suggest to those who wish to become more familiar with the contact situation to investigate the nature of meditation on their own, so they may themselves discover what variety and types of information are available within their own being.

Are there any other questions?

Carla: No, thank you.

Questioner: I have a question. You are aware of my desire to learn more about channeling and to serve as a channel. I ask how you would advise me to proceed in this matter?

I am Latwii, and, my brother, we would answer you simply by saying that to desire this type of service is the most important ingredient for those who wish to become channels. For it is indeed a service that you render and within your own being it is necessary to search and to seek that you might be made an instrument and might kindle within yourself that desire to share the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator which resides within your being. We would suggest as well a daily system of meditation of your own design. We would suggest meditating at the same time each day so that you might develop a pattern of relaxation and communication within your own being, so that you might find that point of centering from which you might be of service. We would also suggest that a simple prayer might be used to ask that divine guidance be with you as you serve, and that you might be made an instrument of that service of the infinite Creator. We would also suggest that frequent experiences with a channel who has experience, such as those present this evening, may be of use in making the vibration of the Confederation more familiar to you.

May we be of further service?

Questioner: You’ve answered my questions, thank you.

Latwii: We thank you. Is there another question?

Carla: No, thank you.

Latwii: We are very pleased to have been able to speak these few words and to share our thoughts through this instrument with you this evening. We would at this time take our leave of this instrument and, as always, we leave you in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. I am Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Vasu borragus.

This morning I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves that the lawn service left yesterday in the two areas of my yard into a pile that filled one garbage can. Then I used the garden hose to fill the fishpond with as much water as possible without splashing out of the fishpond because I like my fish to be able to swim in as much water as possible. Then I added some AquaSafe to neutralize the chlorine in the new water.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply to buy a container of AquaSafe. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My third stop was at Anderson’s Sales and Service where I picked up my chain saw and hedge clippers that are now repaired. After I got home, I used Huff and Puff to blow the Sycamore leaves in the area behind the garage into a smaller area so I could use Venus to mulch the leaves into dust.

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

November 26

Claim Your Good

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

Today I ask you to take hold of your divine good.

There are many situations which do not appear to hold divine good. Yet appearances can be deceiving.

The cry of the child seems full of misfortune. Yet there is the divine good of the cry answered—the nurturing mother who comes and holds the little one to give it comfort and nourishment.

So, too, be not afraid to speak up, to reach out, to know that your good is before you, to ask for it and if you see it not, to ask again. Many are the times that that good is half-hidden or perhaps completely obscured by other things which may not be of divinity, but petty, inconsequential and of the moment. Those things that are not of divinity to you, pass them by and claim your good.

For that which is divine is there for you, just as that which is not. That which is everyday is also before you. Look always for that which is of divine consciousness. Claim your good. Know divine Love. And in all ways that you may be able this day, express the consciousness of Love that gave you the faith to look for and claim your divine Love and good.

We leave you in this consciousness which cannot be understood but only experienced, the consciousness of the Love of Jesus the Christ.

The consciousness of His healing peace be with you. The consciousness of His healing peace be with you, 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 channeling today comes from September 20, 1981:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to greet each of you, and we especially welcome those new to this group. It is our hope that we may be of service to you, and we are grateful that you have opened your ears to what humble thoughts we may have to share. Let us say to you who are new, before we speak upon any subject whatsoever, that ours is not the path of sure knowledge. We may give you the benefit of our experience, but we cannot give you answers that are without any equivocation, for we ourselves are still learning and still growing in the service of the infinite Creator, and that which we share with you is merely the fruit of our experiences. Thus, we ask that you take what you will from us. Discriminate in your hearts as to what you will keep and what you will leave behind, and if we may be of any aid to you whatsoever, then so be it, for this is our one desire—to aid those upon your planet who are at this time seeking to know the love and the light that surrounds them, that begat them, and that is their existence.

This evening, my friends, we would speak to you upon the subject of the Love which you may manifest towards yourself and your fellow beings. This is a difficult subject. It is easy to speak of meditation and of the Love that created you, but as those upon a path of seeking begin to enter the domain of the meditative life, each seeker finds the daily practice, which this meditation engenders, to be the greatest challenge. It is not, my friends, that the challenge was not there before. The same challenge always awaits the seeker. However, there comes a point in each entity’s incarnation when the entity chooses to release all responsibility for that incarnation, or to take responsibility for that incarnation, for that experience, for the manifestations of the being which the entity is undergoing, for existence, my friends, is an activity, not a state. As you meditate this becomes apparent. Therefore, as you meditate you begin to see yourself and those about you in quite, quite a different light than you previously saw them. Not vanished, but quite faded, becomes the desire to actively manipulate those about you and to manipulate your own feelings and your own beingness because of those things which you believe to be acceptable in the terms of your culture. You begin to measure yourself by a yardstick that you find within yourself. It is this yardstick about which we speak.

In your holy works, my friends, there is a parable. This parable describes the vineyard. In this vineyard the grapes are ready for harvest, and men are hired. Early in the morning they trudge to the vineyard to begin to earn their day’s pay, but the owner is not satisfied and wishes to harvest more, and sends to the marketplace to discover if there might be more laborers to increase the harvest, and the owner admits them. Those who have worked all the morning are joined by those fresh from a lazy siesta upon the street. The afternoon passes. The heat of the day begins to vanish, and the pleasantness of a cool evening breeze begins to signal the near end of the working day, and yet, the harvest is not complete. Again, the owner sends to the marketplace asking for workers, and more come and work for a very brief period harvesting the grapes of the owner. Finally, twilight sends its violet rays along the soft lines of the hills, and it is time for the workers to gather their day’s pay and wend their way homeward. Behold! Those who have worked through the heat of the morning and the glare of the afternoon, those who have worked only in the afternoon and those who have worked very briefly in the cool of the evening are all paid the same.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about the concept of Love. They began by saying we would speak to you upon the subject of the Love which you may manifest towards yourself and your fellow beings, and this is a difficult subject, so it is easy to speak of meditation and of the Love that created you, but as those upon a path of seeking begin to enter the domain of the meditative life, each seeker finds the daily practice to be the greatest challenge, but it is not that the challenge was not there before, for the same challenge always awaits the seeker, but there comes a point in each entity’s incarnation when the entity chooses to release all responsibility for that incarnation, or to take responsibility for that incarnation for the manifestations of the being which the entity is undergoing, for existence is an activity, not a state, and as you meditate this becomes apparent, so as you meditate you begin to see yourself and those about you in a different light than you previously saw them, quite faded, and it becomes the desire to manipulate those about you and to manipulate your feelings and your beingness because of those things which you believe to be acceptable in the terms of your culture, and you begin to measure yourself by a yardstick that you find within yourself, so it is this yardstick about which we speak. Hatonn went on to say in your Bible there is a parable that describes the vineyard, and in this vineyard the grapes are ready for harvest, and men are hired, so early in the morning they trudge to the vineyard to begin to earn their day’s pay, but the owner is not satisfied and wishes to harvest more, and he sends to the marketplace to discover more laborers to increase the harvest, and the owner hires them, so those who have worked all the morning are joined by those fresh from a lazy siesta upon the street, and the heat of the day begins to vanish, and the pleasantness of a cool evening breeze begins to signal the near end of the working day, yet the harvest is not complete, so again the owner sends to the marketplace asking for workers, and more come and work for a brief period harvesting the grapes of the owner, so twilight sends its violet rays along the soft lines of the hills, and it is time for the workers to gather their day’s pay and wend their way homeward, but those who have worked through the heat of the morning and the glare of the afternoon, those who have worked only in the afternoon, and those who have worked briefly in the evening are all paid the same. On November 23, 1986, Q’uo described the nature of our beingness:

As we look upon your beingness, we smile, for within each entity, including your own self, there lies a roadmap which has as its destination the complete realization of one’s nature, origin, purpose, and destination, if you will. There is an infinity of possibility which resides not only within your own life pattern, but that of each seeker within your illusion.

For us to speak as to whether one particular outcome shall result in place of another would be foolishness upon our part, and would presume much, for the Creator that is within each entity has far greater depth, breadth, and variety of possibilities and purpose of being than our limited vision could ever hope to encompass were we to speak in a definitive manner upon this subject. We would be assuming that which cannot be assumed or predicted.

But we can assure each seeker of truth that that which is necessary for the continued progression of one’s life pattern will constantly be presented to one in each day and each experience, for each day and each experience that comes before your notice contains in symbolic form layer upon layer of understanding that is available to you as you penetrate it with your conscious perception and your meditative and prayerful desire to seek beyond the outer appearance of all illusion and penetrate to the heart of being.

My friends, is this the yard stick by which you measure yourself and others? Do you feel that you work longer or harder than others and so deserve more pay? Do you find the services which you attempt to offer to others, in offering to them seeds of thought upon Love and Light, slightly tainted because you know that you are offering to an entity who has slept the morning and wasted the afternoon the chance to gain the same reward as you? In your illusion, my friends, it is inevitable that you will judge and that you will be judged by those about you. This, my friends, does not make the phenomenon a well thought out experience. Would you judge yourself? Would you judge others? Nay, my friends. Whatever the behavior that you exhibit, whatever the behavior of those to whom you wish to offer the opportunity to work in the harvesting, let one thing be uppermost in your mind, and that is that we are all the Creator. The Creator is in us all and we in the Creator. Go, therefore with a free and joyful heart, lifting yourself up with cheer when you feel yourself to have fallen, offering your love and your light to any who may ask, be they saint or wastrel. This way lies a great realization. That, my friends, is compassion.

Many times, we speak to groups such as this—who are seeking to serve others—about this service, but you must understand that the first entity whom you serve is yourself. To know that you are a part of the Creator, that whatever errors you make, whatever missteps you may take, you may always move back to a perfect portion of yourself. To know this is to become able not to judge. We encourage you in the disciplines of meditation and in the attempts to be of service, but let these things flow with the freedom of the joy of your participation in the Creator. Those who harvest are under a merciful protector. Harvest yourself, and offer yourself with love and in light to others as they ask and as they wish.

Hatonn went on to say: “Is this the yard stick by which you measure yourself and others? Do you feel that you work longer or harder than others and so deserve more pay? Do you find the services which you attempt to offer to others, in offering to them seeds of thought upon Love and Light, slightly tainted because you know that you are offering to an entity who has slept the morning and wasted the afternoon the chance to gain the same reward as you?” Now Hatonn said in your illusion it is inevitable that you will judge, and that you will be judged by those about you, but this does not make the phenomenon a well thought out experience, so:” Would you judge yourself? Would you judge others?” Then Hatonn said whatever behavior you exhibit, whatever the behavior of those to whom you wish to offer the opportunity to work in the harvesting, let one thing be uppermost in your mind, and that is that we are all the Creator, for the Creator is in us all and we in the Creator, so go with a free and joyful heart, lifting yourself up with cheer when you feel yourself to have fallen, offering your love and your light to any who may ask, be they saint or sinner, for this way lies a great realization which is compassion. Hatonn continued by saying we speak to groups such as this—who are seeking to serve others—about this service, but you must understand that the first entity whom you serve is yourself, and to know that you are a part of the Creator, that whatever errors you make, you may always move back to a perfect portion of yourself, for to know this is to become able not to judge, so we encourage you in the disciplines of meditation and in the attempts to be of service, but let these things flow with the freedom of the joy of your participation in the Creator because those who harvest are under a merciful protector, so harvest yourself, and offer yourself with Love and in Light to others as they ask and as they wish. On August 16, 1981, Latwii said that we are part of the Creator:

You are a part of the Creator, whatever may seem to be your manifestation at this time. You must realize and ponder your basic nature, and when you have come to some conclusion about this nature, you must then seek to see this nature as your true self and the behavior and manifestation as an ongoing experience in an illusion. One is real, one is a dream.

We are pleased to have spoken through this instrument and would, at this time, like to transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument and greet you all once again in Love and Light. At this time, it is our privilege to be joined by our brothers and sisters of Laitos for the purpose of offering our conditioning vibration to those in this group who would wish to experience it and to be aided in deepening their meditation by so doing. If each who would wish to experience our conditioning vibration would simply mentally request such, our brothers and sisters of Laitos will pass among you and aid as requested. We shall pause at this time. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument once again. We thank each in this group for allowing us to join them in their meditations. We would at this time ask for the permission to contact the one known as C so that we may speak a few words through this new instrument. It is our privilege to offer this service to new instruments and those wishing to become instruments in the transmission of our thoughts. If he would relax, we would now transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument. As always, it is a privilege to work with any who seek this form of service. We of Hatonn always bring a simple message of Love and always welcome new voices with which to speak. On your planet there are many desires that many do not quite yet understand. They seek, but sometimes lack one small push, you might say …

[A line of text is missing in the transcript.]

…choose to follow. Those who choose to serve others by the means of what you call channeling are of great assistance to us to aid those that seek, but not yet have the knowledge, the experience to feel our vibration. We, as all Confederation members, are always willing to aid any who seek, who desire our assistance in their chosen path. We are always available to you in your meditations at any time that you ask us to join you. We are honored and privileged that we have so many who have chosen channeling as a means of service within this group, and we are more than happy to work with the new ones as well as those more experienced, and we assure those within this group who seek also to channel our words—concepts, that we will work with them.

It may seem at times, my friends, that so many within a group may seem a luxury at times, but we assure you that once a channel has learned and exercises the ability, the ability will be there, and when the entity who has gained ability is needed, he or she may be of great service to other entities who seek, for you know that on your planet, that within the illusion many times groups have a way of finding harmony within them, but your various means of existence often pull groups physically apart while they may be mentally, spiritually, always attached. That is one reason why it’s always pleasing to us that many begin a group, seek similar ability, for they can aid others after the original group has begun to go, as you would say, their own ways within the illusion. We always thank this group and all others who listen, for we seek to serve, as do you, aiding in our humble way, your seeking. We also learn in experience through you and by interacting to the extent that we can, with you.

We would, at this time, transfer our contact to another instrument, for we would like, if we may, to exercise others within this group who seek to channel our humble words. I am Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument, and again I greet you in the Love and the Light of the Creator of all that is vast and small, infinite and finite. It is amusing to us in using these descriptive terms to perceive the implausibility of these terms, for they denote the contrast between that which is of reality and that which is of the illusion. For example, the terms infinite and finite both are constructed to attempt to define that which is beyond comprehension, for while you may quickly and readily acknowledge from past experience that the term “infinite” is without picture within your mental construction, has it occurred to you that the term “finite” is of equal caliber?

Is there, within your world or any other, that which is finite? The substance of your illusion is the result of creative efforts by each of you, both individually and collectively, for your illusion is constructed—tailor-made, as you say—to support your quest for knowledge and growth. As the details of your illusion are of this same fabric, each is a facet of a particular lesson and, therefore, a fragment of your experience, that experience which continues as you do yourself. Thus, we perceive the nebulous quality of the term “finite,” for what can be finite, yet continue in existence throughout that which we label “infinite”? The term “infinite,” on the other hand, although readily acknowledged as incomprehensible, is equally finite, for that which exists, exists only in the now, for in reality now is the future, now is the past, now is.

My brothers and sisters, we do not wish for you to be alarmed, fearing perhaps that we have chosen to embark upon lengthy philosophical discussions without reference to your present situation, for there is, as you might say, a method to our madness. The temptation exists to regard your efforts towards service as money placed within a bank, drawing sufficient interest to pay for a ticket out of this illusion when the harvest time arrives. My brothers and sisters, today is the day in which the rent comes due, as this instrument would say, for the attainment of your service could be regarded as compounded …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument, and we find your own instruments humorous. The interest compounded upon your savings of service, so to speak, are not stored up, but rather returned to you instantly that you may use your gains to further your own efforts toward the development of your ability toward selfless service. Do not be disheartened that your efforts toward service seem tainted because of your awareness that your efforts result from a desire to improve yourself sufficiently to attain harvestability, for this process is within the order of the universe.

The interest gained is the establishment of a path which through habit will more and more smoothly and assuredly guide your efforts toward a selfless form of service. Have you noticed, my brothers and sisters, that although the initial acts of service to others may come with difficulty and only after lengthy forethought and argument with one’s more selfish nature, after a sufficient number of these experiences occur, you may suddenly realize that the path toward service to others, while still motivated by service to self, has become more easily acquired as your nature, your vibration, has been adjusted through your efforts toward an automatic choice or orientation toward service to others without tremendous amounts of lengthy forethought and planning.

For this reason, do not be disheartened by the selfishness which exists within all of us, for this characteristic being of negative or selfish polarization acts as a catalyst which results in selfless performance of service to others. We would encourage, therefore, all efforts toward service to others, however motivated, and would comfort those who find their own selfish nature disquieting.

At this time we would attempt to answer questions that you might desire to offer. I am Hatonn.

M: Hatonn, how do chemicals bridge the gap between our physical illusion and our spiritual reality?

I am Hatonn. I am aware of your question. My brother, the chemical substance is of a nature that is unpolarized, yet, as a key, is capable of unlocking synaptic blocks which are used to prevent the subconscious mind from overriding the wishes of the conscious mind. These synaptic blocks are of the substance of your physical illusion, yet one of the rules, so to speak, of your illusion gives dominance to the conscious mind over the subconscious mind, thus allowing you, within the illusion, to refuse communication from your higher self, if such is your choice. The chemical key, or drug, acts to dissolve temporarily those blocks constructed by the conscious mind, allowing the subconscious mind’s receptions to be transmitted directly to the conscious mind. The quality of the reception is the result of the orientation of the conscious mind during the period of time in which the synaptic block is removed. For this reason, the same individual may, with the same key, receive either enjoyable and encouraging or unpleasant and discouraging experiences.

May we answer you further?

M: Yes. Essentially, you remove the chemical inhibitors in the brain to allow the subconscious to come to a conscious level. The images that we then become conscious of, are they a creation of our own—or the spiritual type things that are experienced. Are they real spiritual experiences? Are they experiences we are creating for ourselves, or is it a perception of reality that we’re then capable of seeing?

I am Hatonn. My brother, all experience is real. For this reason, we suggest that you may desire to rephrase your question.

M: OK. Are you actually having a spiritual experience, or are you creating a mental illusion?

I am Hatonn. I am aware of your question. The receptions of the conscious mind from the subconscious mind are similar in nature to that which is referred to by your people as radio or television. The quality of the image received is solely defined by the source of the image which can be of numerous transmitters, so to speak. The image may be the result of a seeking conveyed by the subconscious mind for a specific experience or communication. However, it may also be of the nature of a seeking for an unusual or exciting created experience to entertain.

The subconscious mind can only convey that which is desired and can only attain that which is earned. The spiritual experience, as you refer to it, is the result of a calling within the individual for a specific type of contact or experience and as all vacuums are filled, this calling is answered. However, we would caution you that a calling for an experience which may be characterized by the description, “I want to see God, but not have it really count,” will result in a form of entertainment that is characterized by a pervasive aura of goodness.

May we answer you further, my brother?

M: One last part. You mentioned that if the subconscious has made a calling for an experience, and you are in tune to do that, the drug will help you bridge that gap. How can it be done more easily without the assistance of the chemical promoter?

I am Hatonn. My brother, the drug, or key cannot provide that which has not been earned. For example, the key cannot acquire for one the skills of the adept without the learning or discipline. Conversely, the learning and discipline themselves are sufficient to dissolve the synaptic block if such is your desire. Often this occurs during times of meditation, or sleep, or prayer, for these are times in which the persuasive contact of the conscious mind with the illusion ebbs and the individual is less convinced of the reality of the illusion within which he or she functions.

To most easily activate—correction—deactivate the synaptic block is through prayer or meditation, for at these times the orientation of the individual’s calling is firmly established, and the nature of the desired experience controlled by the individual. The chemical synaptic key, conversely, is subject to the whims and changing moods of the individual and thus may cause the entry of both angels and dragons, so to speak. For this reason, we strongly recommend the paths of prayer or meditation over the use of chemical substances.

May we answer you further?

M: No thank you, Hatonn. You’ve been very helpful.

Hatonn: As always, my brother, we thank you for the opportunity to serve in our small manner. Is there another question.

Carla: I’d just like to clarify something. You mentioned several times that you only get those things which you earn in the drug experience, and I was trying to link that up with other material with which I’m familiar and also with my own experience, and it seems that in Ra’s terminology, the conscious use of the polarization towards service to others and the desire to worship or praise seems to aid in the experiencing of, as you put it, the angels, rather than the dragons, which would suggest that one were not at the mercy, shall we say, of a drug, but rather had a cooperative effort with it, given that enough energy centers were activated and aware of the seriousness of the experience to use it. I have no desire to advocate the use of drugs. I just wanted to clarify that. Is this concept correct, that it is the opening of the energy centers, the desire to polarize, etc., that you mean when you say you get what you earn?

I am Hatonn. This is correct. If we may reiterate more clearly our words upon the subject. To give an example—if an individual who has not chosen a direction of polarization consumes a chemical substance designed to dissolve synaptic blocks, the individual is at the mercy, so to speak, of his or her own fluctuations of polarization, which tend to fluctuate more uncontrollably in the absence of your contemporary illusion. Therefore, our statement concerning the angels and dragons.

The individual who is polarized, however, has established a consistent nature within the subconscious mind which acts as a controlling influence on the nature of the receptions transmitted to the conscious mind. Therefore, that individual which has earned his stripes, so to speak, has the ability to receive a consistent quality of perception, whereas that individual who is undecided will find the quality varies wildly. The intensity of the experience is also affected in the same fashion.

May we answer you further?

Carla: No thank you, Hatonn. Your clarity is exceeded only by your prolixity.

I am Hatonn. If it were possible, we would blush. We thank you. Is there another question?

[Pause]

As always, the music of the spirits pervading the night draw us closer as we long to share more fully the incredible beauty of your home. We thank you deeply for sharing with us. I am Hatonn, and we leave you in the Love and the Light of the one Creator. Adonai, vasu, boragus.

This morning I drove to Walgreen’s Drug Store and told the pharmacist that the two medications that I was given yesterday were prescribed by my former Primary Care Provider, and they should have been prescribed by my new PCP because she had taken over each of the three medications that my former PCP had been prescribing. Then the pharmacist suggested that I keep the medications from my previous PCP and then call the office of my new PCP and ask that she take over these last two medications. When I got home, I used Huff and Puff to blow all of the leaves in the front yard into the growing pile of leaves in the parking area in front of my home.

This afternoon I used Huff and Puff to begin blowing the leaves in my back yard towards the pile of leaves in the driveway, and then I noticed that the lawn service company had arrived and was beginning the process of sucking up the leaves along the driveway. Then one of the lawn service employees helped me blow leaves from the Hydrangea garden to the area along the driveway so that they could be sucked up as well. Then I gave each of the lawn service employees a tip.

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

November 25

Yesterday’s Faith

I am a particle of the Love of Christ, the Spirit sent forth to enliven the world which lies in darkness. I greet you in the consciousness of that Love which is powerful enough to banish night.

Yesterday’s faith is not today’s, nor is hope for tomorrow a substitute for the present consciousness of redemption. If you seek to know the consciousness of Love, seek in the here and now, not through memory or through desire for future good. For it is in the present moment that your darkness resides. It is the present darkness over which you have potential power, through the grace of Jesus Christ and through the Love of Love itself.

Know you not that seeking for Light, even in a dark present, can at least crack open the gates of Light? And for that slight, illumined crack of Light, there is no price valuable enough to purchase so dear a thing! For only a little Light, sought for and found, may illuminate all of your present darkness if you can but will it so.

Thus, do not depend upon your faith as if it were a constant thing, for, like food for the body, the nourishment of the soul, being Light, must be taken daily, and, indeed, periodically within each day, that you may replenish the Light within you which comes from another dimension.

From the dimension of peace, we wish you peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from September 13, 1981:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to speak with you this evening and we greet the one known as M, who is new to this group.

This evening we would like to share with you a small story. It is the story of a person who was seeking. This person was seeking, not for food, nor for labor, nor for rest, nor for companionship, for this young man was weary of the ways of the world and sought only one thing—the knowledge of the Creator. He spoke to many, for many are the teachers among your people and many are the opinions that they hold. From one great teacher he would hear that the Creator is that which is within a great vastness apart from this little life, which is called heaven. From another great teacher he heard that the Creator lurked in the running water and was in fact a state of nothingness. He continued seeking. Another great teacher—and a very convincing one—sought to teach the Creator is honor, righteousness, and a graceful way of life. This seemed to make more sense to the young man and yet, the young man was not satisfied.

He looked to the stars, to the forests, to the seas and to all of nature, for he could not, in any case, find any man, no matter how wise, who could tell him about the nature of the Creator. One day, as he was sitting, looking into a still pool, a very old man approached him. Little hair had he and little height. He was apparently poor, for his clothes were tattered. He smiled as he sat next to the young man and inquired after the young man’s health. “I’m quite well, stranger,” replied the young man, “But my heart is heavy. The things of this world do not satisfy me, and yet I cannot find that which is more permanent. I cannot understand the Creator.” The old man nodded and pointed to the still pool. “Have a look into the water,” said he, “For there is the beginning and the end of your search.”

In this session Hatonn wanted to share the story of a young seeker of truth. They began by saying this person was seeking, not for food, nor for labor, nor for rest, nor for companionship, for this young man was weary of the ways of the world and sought only the knowledge of the Creator, and he spoke to many, for many are the teachers among your people, and many are the opinions that they hold, so from one teacher he would hear that the Creator is that which is within a great vastness apart from this little life, which is called heaven, and from another teacher he heard that the Creator was a state of nothingness, so he continued seeking, for another great teacher sought to teach the Creator is honor and a graceful way of life, and this seemed to make more sense to the young man, yet the young man was not satisfied. Hatonn went on to say he looked to the stars, to the forests, to the seas and to all of nature, for he could not find any man who could tell him about the nature of the Creator, but one day, as he was sitting, looking into a still pool, a very old man approached him, and little hair had he and little height, and he was poor, for his clothes were tattered, so he smiled as he sat next to the young man and inquired after the young man’s health. “I’m quite well, stranger,” replied the young man, “but my heart is heavy, for the things of this world do not satisfy me, and yet I cannot understand the Creator,” so the old man nodded and pointed to the still pool, and he said: “Have a look into the water, for there is the beginning and the end of your search.” On June 12, 1983, Hatonn said that the things of this world fall away in meditation to show us we are the Creator:

As you sit in meditation, little by little those things of this world may fall away, all the inharmonious portions of your experience are put aside, and out of the silence comes that portion of yourself which is your greatest self, that portion which is almighty, infinite, and everlasting. That portion of yourself is the Creator.

And lo! The wizened old man had fled, leaving the young wanderer to gaze at his own face in the calm, clear waters of the forest pond. My friends, in the illusion which you now enjoy, there is every reason for you to believe that the truth will come to you from outside yourself. Your people have believed this for a great span of your years, as you call them, and all those about you believe that all things come to you from the outside. There are some items which are available to one who wishes to purchase knowledge. One may learn how to make the illusion work. What one may not purchase for any price from outside oneself is the knowledge of why things are as they are, why we are here, and what is the nature of our being.

To look in the mirror is to see an infinitely small part of the creation. This, my friends, is to the best of our knowledge, a creation made entirely of Love. As you view yourself, you may see a tiny portion of an infinite Love and yet, within that image in the mirror, there lie depths through which you may only see given a great deal of desire, time and discipline, for that which you seek within yourself, that which is the true heart of Love, is locked within you like a seed within the earth or a babe in the womb, and it is through quietness, confidence, and meditation that you may let this plan germinate, this babe be born. This entity is that part of yourself that is more fully the original Thought of the Creator—the original Thought of Love.

Hatonn continued by saying the wise old man had left, leaving the young wanderer to gaze at his own face in the calm, clear waters of the forest pond, so in the illusion which you enjoy there is every reason for you to believe that the truth will come to you from outside of yourself, and your people have believed this for a many years, and all those about you believe that all things come to you from the outside, for there are some items which are available to one who wishes to purchase knowledge, so one may learn how to make the illusion work, but what one may not purchase for any price from outside oneself is why we are here, and what is the nature of our being. Then Hatonn said to look in the mirror is to see an infinitely small part of the creation, and this is a creation made entirely of Love, so as you view yourself, you may see a tiny portion of an infinite Love, yet within that image in the mirror, there lie depths through which you may only see given a great deal of desire, time, and discipline, for that which you seek within yourself, that which is the true heart of Love, is locked within you like a seed within the earth, and it is through quietness, confidence, and meditation that you may let this plan germinate, for this entity is that part of yourself that is more fully the original Thought of Love. On May 29, 1983, Hatonn said that if we seek within ourself we will find the original Thought of Love:

All that we speak of has to do with one original Thought, that Thought which created all that there is. Your basic material for seeking is yourself. If you see the surface of yourself, if you concentrate upon your imperfections and your impurities, you may find much about which you might be unhappy with yourself. You might lose faith in the basic strength and unity of your character. So, you must meditate and look within until you find that great fulcrum upon which your universe will turn that is your own identity. Who are you? You are one who seeks, and you are what you seek. We ask that you seek within yourself continuously, daily, during many moments of each day if possible until you are as often as possible with contact with the one original Thought of Love within yourself. And you shall have faith, faith of that which is invisible, faith in that which is infinite, but faith in that which you have examined yourself.

At this time I would transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument, and I greet you again in the Love and the Light of that which has caused our existence in service to one another. It is a novel situation on your planet that so many who, in their higher self, seek numerous opportunities for service to one another find that on your planetary surface they are able only to seek opportunities for helping others to serve themselves. It is disappointing for them to find that their energies were so misdirected. For upon passing through that portal which you describe as death, and gazing back in reexamination of those life experiences, they discover that in one sense they were extraordinarily successful, for against their own higher will and against the natural flow of service that permeates the universe, they were successful in attempting, for their brief period of time, to shove the river of service upstream. Their accomplishment was to, against all help offered by the universe, find themselves opportunities to absorb service instead of projecting service.

It is not often that a planet upon which this is so prevalent is encountered, yet such notoriety is not particularly advantageous. It is for this reason that we seek to spend more and more time in communication with the occupants of your planet, such as yourself, for this misdirection of energy, although unpolarized, does not achieve any variation in the individual’s attainment. The uncontrolled scattering of energy that this represents is similar to an unharnessed electrical engine which generates sparks, and fires them randomly throughout the arc of its circulation. This random expulsion of energy acts, in its own way, as a summons for the type of help which we may offer if there is a defined calling for our help calling as well.

So, although the situation which we have described greatly validates, so to speak, our efforts, we would prefer that our presence was less intensely demanded. The opportunity for service within the individual consciously oriented toward service is intensified in this situation, for the individuals directing their energy at random on a higher level seek assistance in attaining their focus, and for this purpose many of those you describe as wanderers have sought the opportunity for service on your planet. If those of you present will seek the opportunity for service to your fellow occupants, we would suggest that you not attempt to describe your particular form of communication with those of the Federation—for many are not open to this type of communication and should be allowed to introduce their own calling—but rather attempt to assist your brothers and sisters in attaining a focus for their energies. It is possible, for example, to suggest that an afternoon might be more effectively spent in assisting a friend or relative in a form of necessary labor rather than whiling away the afternoon being entertained by electromechanical devices.

It is not necessary to convey to the individual the entire philosophy offered by members of the Federation to accomplish this suggestion. Rather, offer what is needed to plant the seed and allow it to grow without over-fertilization. We do not intend to imply that the communications you receive should be kept secret, for this is not our purpose, but rather that service is independent of philosophy, may be offered without an awareness of the philosophy we offer and may, in some cases, be inhibited by an awareness of our philosophy. It is for you, in service, to evaluate the situations before you and act accordingly.

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

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument and greet you once again in Love and Light. At this time, it is our privilege to be joined by our brothers and sisters of Laitos for the purpose of offering the conditioning vibration to those of this group who wish to become more familiar with this vibration in order to deepen their meditation and perhaps at a later date, to take part in the channeling process.

At this time, we will pause to allow our brothers and sisters of Laitos to pass among this group and to condition those who mentally request the conditioning vibration. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. At this time, we would offer ourselves in the answering of questions which those of this group may find the value in the questing. Are there any questions at this time?

L: I have a question I’d like to ask, Hatonn. Recently I’ve been experiencing some visual or mental flashes of what seem to be a picture or a memory. As it’s only present for a split second and then it’s gone, it’s not something I can retrieve, and it has nothing at all to do with what I was thinking about or seeing at the time. Could you explain to me what this is?

I am Hatonn, and am aware of your question, my brother. To answer it in full, we are afraid, would be an infringement upon your future and your free will. We may only say in this case that this phenomenon which you are experiencing is that which is, shall we say, a trigger for that which is the harbinger of more to come. It is to tickle your curiosity and to incite further seeking. This you have already surmised yourself; this we may confirm. To say any more of a specific nature would be to travel that road of seeking for you. This we cannot do, for that road is the road which contains the learning you seek, and this learning we would not take from you.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes. Within the limitations that you operate, is there any advice you are able to offer that would assist me in determining the direction to turn to develop this particular phenomenon?

I am Hatonn. My brother, of these suggestions we may say you are already aware of that path which is most beneficial for the seeking. We may only say that to seek and to persevere is the most efficacious solution.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No. Thank you very much.

Hatonn: As always, we thank you. Is there another question at this time?

L: I have one other question, Hatonn. A while back I was involved in a practice session for astral projection that was fairly successful. Is this phenomenon fairly significant as an accomplishment, or is it simply another phenomenon that can be developed, on the order of telekinesis or something like that that is no particular value of its own?

I am Hatonn. On this matter, my brother, may we say that the answer has two parts. Indeed, such an ability is a sign of great achievement, for it is not usual among your people to be able to project the astral body at will. It may also be said that it is not usual among your people to be able to, as this instrument might say, juggle five balls simultaneously. The value of either activity depends upon the desire and the purpose of the one so seeking the skills.

May we only suggest that in any seeking which you may undertake, if you should wish to evaluate its effectiveness as regards your own spiritual evolution, you may simply ask yourself the question, “How may I serve others through this activity?” If you can find ways to share the Love of the Creator with those brothers and sisters who are one with you upon this planet, then you have done that which is of great value and you have accomplished a feat that few upon your planet can name as their own.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No, you’ve answered my question. Thank you.

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

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn. It is a great pleasure to share in your meditation, but we feel somewhat remiss in our duties to only meditate at this time with you. May we ask if there is another question which any entity present might wish to ask at this time?

L: Is there a service you are capable of offering beyond that of communication?

I am Hatonn. Our services at this time are few in number, but include, as we have mentioned before, joining each entity in meditation wherever that entity might be at whatever time we are asked, the asking being the only requirement. When asked to join an entity in meditation we are most privileged to be allowed to do so. This service combined with the service which we now render in the form of telepathic transmission of thoughts is the service which we are allowed by Confederation guidelines, shall we say, to offer those entities who call for our services upon your planet.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Is this a service that is common to all members of the Federation?

I am Hatonn. There are some within the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator who have varying skills and therefore, varying services to offer. This group is aware of the entity known as Nona who has the skills and services of the healing vibrations. There are others in the Confederation who have the task and the service of contacting various entities upon your planet while they are in states of what you call sleep and dreams and who, in this contact, are able to inspire by image or dream the entity so contacted to perform what the entity has decided before incarnation that it shall perform. These contacts are of an inspirational nature and are, in general, agreed upon before the incarnation of the entity contacted.

Others in the Confederation have, in that which you call your past, been able to make direct contact with various entities upon your planet for the purpose of providing information of a certain nature. In general, such direct contacts have not proven useful in the long run, so to speak, and thus this type of service is no longer offered by Confederation members, for such services have proven to have mixed results.

L asked: “Is this a service that is common to all members of the Federation?” Hatonn replied by saying there are some within the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator who have varying skills and services to offer, and this group is aware of Nona who has the skills of the healing vibrations, so there are others in the Confederation who have the service of contacting entities upon your planet while they are in states of sleep and dreams and who are able to inspire by image or dream the entity so contacted to perform what the entity has decided before incarnation that it shall perform, for these contacts are of an inspirational nature and are agreed upon before the incarnation of the entity contacted. Now Hatonn said others in the Confederation have, in your past, been able to make direct contact with entities upon your planet for the purpose of providing information of a certain nature, but such direct contacts have not proven useful in the long run, and this type of service is no longer offered by Confederation members, for such services have proven to have mixed results. In 8.31, Ra explained the reason that they stopped making direct contact with people on Earth:

Questioner: Would it be possible for any of us to have some type of contact with the Confederation in a more direct way?

Ra: I am Ra. In observing the distortions of those who underwent this experiential sequence we decided to gradually back off, shall I say, from direct contact in thought-form. The least distortion seems to be available in mind-to-mind communication. Therefore, the request to be taken aboard is not one we care to comply with. You are most valuable in your present orientation.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No. You’ve answered me sufficiently. Thank you.

Hatonn: Again, we thank you. May we answer another question at this time?

D: Hatonn, this past week during my meditations I’ve mentally called upon you to meditate with me, and during those times I sensed or I felt no added presence to me at that time. Am I doing something wrong, or are my spiritual senses just not sharp enough yet to detect that, or is there something that you could suggest I could improve on my technique?

I am Hatonn. In this regard, my brother, may we say that we are aware of your calling, and we have indeed joined you in your meditations. We deem it a great privilege to do so. To those who are new to this group and who are in effect calling for our assistance for the first few times, so to speak, we are quite careful to join such an entity by using, shall we say, the light touch. We have, in this group’s recent past, not been quite so able to use this light touch and have caused some inconvenience and discomfort, which we once again apologize for. It is not always an easy task to be able to blend vibrations of one density with those vibrations of another density. As you continue in your meditations to request our presence, we will, hopefully, be able to blend our vibrations in such a manner that you will indeed be aware of our presence, but shall not experience the discomfort of a heavy hand, shall we say.

May we answer you further, my brother?

D: No, I appreciate that answer, Hatonn. Just always be aware that in my understanding of what you’re saying, that if at any time you happen to slip and knock me off the couch—that or anything—I’ll certainly understand.

I am Hatonn. We sincerely appreciate the range of possibilities which you have provided us. We shall attempt to remain within that range.

May we answer another question at this time?

S: Hatonn, I have a question. When I was experiencing discomfort, is that a result of what you were just speaking of—a heavy hand?

I am Hatonn. My sister, we are apologetically required to answer “Yes.” We shall attempt to be more light in our touch in the future.

May we answer you further?

S: No, thank you.

Hatonn: Again, we thank you. May we answer another question at this time?

L: Hatonn, there was an individual on our planet that we called Mahatma Ghandi. What can you tell me of previous incarnations of this individual?

I am Hatonn. On this matter, my brother, we are somewhat limited in speaking to the present activities of this entity, but may say that this entity was one of those whom you have called the wanderer who came among your peoples at the time that you are familiar with as this last incarnation, and who came among your peoples also at a previous time approximately two hundred years earlier, and also this entity walked among your peoples a number of times in your distant past as one who sought to raise the vibrations of this planet by its very beingness and also through the activities afforded to it by each successive incarnation. The incarnation which you are most familiar with was, shall we say, a great triumph for this entity and allowed this entity to complete the mission which it had agreed to complete many thousands of years ago, when it first offered itself as a wanderer.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: Yes. Is the individual’s current incarnation still involved with working on our planet?

I am Hatonn. Yes. May we answer you further, my brother?

L: No. I thank you.

I am Hatonn. We thank you, as always. Is there another question at this time?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. At this time, we shall transfer this contact and close through another instrument. I am Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. My friends, tonight as always, it’s been a great privilege to speak a few humble words. We of Hatonn do deem it, as always, very pleasing to join with this group, and feel the Love that is present in this group. And we always enjoy each opportunity to speak to those who become as part of the entity of your planet who seek, as do we all, the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator.

We especially enjoy the sounds that are present, in what you call nature, of this time of your year and wish you also to, at times, listen. Open yourselves to your planet. Hear, feel yourselves as one in meditation with your planet and all those entities upon it, for while we all seem to be isolated within ourselves, there’s always kindred spirits seeking and willing to share and aid each of those who seek. We are known to you as Hatonn and leave you now in the Love and Light of the one Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves from half of my back yard to the pile of leaves on the north side of the driveway.

This afternoon I made an errand run with my first stop at Anderson’s Sales and Service to drop off my chain saw and my hedge clippers which were not working properly. My second stop was at Bachman’s Subaru where I asked when Stanley would be repaired and ready to drive home. They said that it would be sometime next week. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off three prescriptions to be filled, and then I bought some Pepsi-Zero and a pint of vanilla ice cream. When I got home, I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves from the other half of my back yard into the pile of leaves on the north side of the driveway.

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

November 24

Trust That Within You

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

The difficulty which living within the physical shell of the body creates in understanding that the spiritual path is a path of plenty and Light is that the outer circumstances of the path of Light seem anything but comfortable.

There is truly a narrow path whereby one may maintain contact within the self with the Spirit which enlivens all things. It is best not to look for evidence of the Spirit’s work within men and within the world but, rather, faithfully to rest in the trust you have in that which is unseen but which has been as a beneficent wind moving across and guiding your voyage of seeking and discovery.

Those attitudes allow one to become aware of the simple joy available to one who is not limited by the definitions of self which the limitations of the body seem to impose. Accept and respect that within you which is moved by the spirit. And listen to the inner voice as to an honored guest.

We leave you in the peace of this process of living by faith, 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/Latwii channeling for today comes from September 6, 1981:

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. It is a great privilege, as always, to be with you this evening and we greet each of you.

We would like tonight to share with you a small story. There was once a very steep mountain. So precipitous were its heights that clouds formed across the face of the cliffs so that the valley never saw the sky and those who lived upon the heights never saw the valley. Those who lived in the valley were very jealous of the land and of the possessions, one of the other. Their methods of sharing experiences with each other was harsh in the extreme and disharmony reigned under the clouds.

Another group lived high among the peaks of this mountain. This society lived very meagerly, having far, far less than those in the valley, for game was scarce and little grew that could be eaten, but they survived, and such was their society that their leaders whom they chose were wise and good, and when judgment needs be made it was fair. Harmony reigned also between people, for all was offered as all had so little that it must be pooled to survive. Those who looked upon the stars, though they had little, dwelt in peace and harmony, and because they did not think of possessions; as they mated, each was content, one with the other, and harmony was given as an heirloom from generation to generation.

Hatonn wanted to tell the group a story. They began by saying there was once a very steep mountain, and so steep were its heights that clouds formed across the face of the cliffs so that the valley never saw the sky, and those who lived upon the heights never saw the valley, and those who lived in the valley were jealous of the land and of the possessions, one of the other, so their methods of sharing experiences with each other were harsh in the extreme, and disharmony reigned under the clouds. Hatonn went on to say another group lived high among the peaks of this mountain, and this society lived meagerly, having far less than those in the valley, for game was scarce and little grew that could be eaten, but they survived, and such was their society that their leaders whom they chose were wise and good, and when judgment needs be made it was fair, so harmony reigned also between people, for all was offered as all had so little that it must be pooled to survive, for those who looked upon the stars, though they had little, dwelt in peace and harmony, and because they did not think of possessions as they mated, each was content, one with the other, and harmony was given as an heirloom from generation to generation. On December 17, 1989, Hatonn described how we can share peace and harmony with each other:

My friends, you are asked to Love one another as you yourself have been Loved. You know the incredible strength of that Love. You may lean back against it, and you may open the self to channel words to make peace, and harmony, and solace available to those who are too tangled in their own details of negative emotion to work out the heart of the problem. Each of you would be in this situation from time to time, thus the offering of Love to another by listening, by accepting, by forgiving, and by Loving is the gift of which we would speak this evening. Centuries and centuries have gone by with the entities attempting to learn to Love. There have been many side trips, many excursions into folly. Many killings, wars, and casual death. That is the Creation expressing Itself negatively this time.

You may do two things with your Love after you have found it. Firstly, you may pray continually without ceasing. This is not a difficult habit to move into, as one knows very small prayers that one has known since childhood, prayers that are to the point and caring. You may also make up your own prayers or simply hold a person with whom you are concerned into the Light of the infinite One.

The greatest of active services as opposed to passive services of being is Loving in such a way that you are able to hear the words between the lines that plead for spiritual help. We pray you may have the subtlety of wit, the intelligence to take that information which is important to the other, and find a tongue to speak that does not create a stumbling block, while many have been damaged by guilt and excessive judgment in some of your saddled religions.

This was, my friends, one mountain, one location, and one illusion. The factors of existence varied. Under the cloud there was plenty and above there was little, and yet, which people bore like a shield and buckler the Light of harmony and the seeking for the truth? My friends, sometimes it may seem as though your days stretch before you as a plain, vast and featureless and indistinguishable by any landmark, any signpost to which you may look to for inspiration or a new way of being. Actually, my friends, the terrain of your illusion is constantly precipitous. Your illusion has many levels. You, yourself, may choose the level at which you wish to experience the conditions of your existence.

When it seems that though you have plenty, that though all things should be harmonious, they are not, put yourself to the task of scaling a cliff within yourself. Move beyond a cloud which obscures the ever-present pinnacle that towers out of sight above the fog. At that level, my friends, you may experience certain losses and feel in these losses, which are only those needs which you have discarded as you see the illusory nature of them, a freedom to be joyful and in harmony, that you could not see dwelling under a cloud. This cloud is part of the illusion and may be penetrated most easily by meditation. It is, however, possible at any moment to mentally climb the precipice, to, by an act of desire, move above the obscuring clouds and see the stars, the points of Light and Love and truth which are not visible from the lower points of viewing. There is one fine gift, perhaps above most, that such an overview may offer to you. That is a sense of the honor that it is to dwell with those about you, for each is a unique and beautiful part of the creation, which is vast, free, resplend—we correct this instrument—resplendently lovely. This sense of honor in sharing experiences with others is so often lost among your people that it is quite rare to experience. However, my friends, you can perhaps cast your mind back to a point at which you met such an entity, an entity who honored the life within you, whether you yourself at that time honored it or not. What a gift has such a person given—the gift of recognition, for are we not all one being? One part of an infinite Creator? And is not each part full worthy of the utmost honor?

Then Hatonn said this was one mountain and one illusion, and the factors of existence varied, so under the cloud there was plenty, and above there was little which people bore like a shield of the Light of harmony and the seeking for truth, but sometimes it may seem as though your days stretch before you as a plain, vast and indistinguishable by any landmark to which you may look to for a new way of being, for the terrain of your illusion is dangerously high, and your illusion has many levels, so you may choose the level at which you wish to experience the conditions of your existence. Hatonn went on to say when it seems that though all things should be harmonious, they are not, so put yourself to the task of scaling a cliff within yourself, and move beyond a cloud which obscures the ever-present pinnacle that towers out of sight above the fog, for at that level you may experience certain losses and feel in these losses, which are only those needs which you have discarded as you see the illusory nature of them, a freedom to be joyful and in harmony, that you could not see dwelling under a cloud because this cloud is part of the illusion and may be penetrated by meditation, and it is possible at any moment to mentally climb the precipice, and by an act of desire, to move above the obscuring clouds and see the stars, the points of Light, Love, and truth which are not visible from the lower points of viewing, so there is one gift that such an overview may offer to you, and that is a sense of honor that it is to dwell with those about you, for each is a unique and beautiful part of the creation which is vast, free, and lovely, but this sense of honor in sharing experiences with others is often lost among your people that it is rare to experience, but if you can cast your mind back to a point at which you met an entity who honored the life within you, whether you honored it or not: “What a gift has such a person given—the gift of recognition, for are we not all one being? One part of an infinite Creator? And is not each part full worthy of the utmost honor?” On June 21, 1989, Latwii spoke of how we may use the sense of honor with those around us:

We ask only that you remember at all times that you are choosing as Christ would choose, that your mind is the mind of Christ, and if your willfulness moves your mind instead of your mind moving your will, you have put the cart before the horse, and you will go nowhere. Therefore, sit in silence and patience day after day, week after week, and allow the process of acceleration of growth spiritually to occur in a natural manner. When you receive an impression as to what would be well to be done, act upon it in a loving and compassionate manner, for truly you are dealing, no matter how else it may seem, with yourself, with the Creator.

Therefore, bring a sense of honor for the one who causes you pain. Rather than causing him pain, you may witness unto him of the Light and the Love of the infinite Creator by refusing to be beaten down, by moving from Love imperishable into action, by reacting not at all to the negative things that move about one, but, rather, to put oneself in a protective shell and move through the life as one who is not quite of the life or the illusion.

At this time, we would transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you again, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of the Creator. We of Hatonn desire to be of service to you for in so doing we accomplish the task of growth which we have set before ourselves. It is a privilege to serve you, for in doing so we find that we serve ourselves, as one self in a body serves itself through benefiting the entire body.

At this time, we would like to exercise another instrument, so as to familiarize the instrument with the sensation of our contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am again with this instrument. We have been attempting to speak a few words through the one known as E. If he would relax and speak the words that are given at the moment to him without hesitation, we shall again transfer to the instrument known as E. I am Hatonn.

(E channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I great you once again in Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. It is a pleasure to work with a new instrument. We suggest that this instrument relax and allow the words to come without thinking or worrying about what is being said. We will return now to the one known as Carla. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am again with this instrument. May we thank each of you for the patience which it requires for you to offer energy to the group while we exercise new channels. It is enormously appreciated. We and our brothers and sisters of Laitos would like to take this opportunity while there is some pause for working with each of you who is not at the present time channeling, as this instrument calls this activity of service. We would not wish at this time to put words in your mouths, but merely to work with each of you to help deepen your state of meditation and to make some adjustments which are unique with each of your vibrations.

We would work at this time with the one known as D.

[Pause]

We would, at this time move to the one known as S, if she would relax.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. May we say to the one known as S that we appreciate the effort that has been made by this entity and are with her.

As we move to the one known as R, may we say we are attempting to be extremely cautious that we may disrupt as little as possible a somewhat sensitive energy field. We would work with this instrument at this time.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. We move now to the one known as Don and offer our vibration.

[Pause]

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again in Love and Light. I and Laitos thank you for the privilege of working with each of you. We would at this time move on, if we may, to another channel. I am Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. We thank you for your patience as we have had some difficulty in contacting this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to attempt to answer any questions that you may have. I am Hatonn.

C: Yes, Hatonn. I have a question. I asked earlier and was told that as third density we aid second density in their attempt to become third. I was wondering, as a second-density entity grows, does it seek out contact with third?

I am Hatonn. I am aware of your question. My brother, second density, like your own third density, has levels of development within it, for just as in your own density, not all who occupy that density are of simultaneous development. Also, my brother, we would remind you that not all seek the same experiences simultaneously in your dimension, therefore, we would answer your question by saying that, with these factors understood, some of second density will seek out the experience of contact with third-density entities such as yourself, while others will not seek out that contact.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, not on that subject, but here of late I’ve been observing a friend who is experiencing extreme emotional difficulties, and I was wondering if you could give me any advice about how best to aid this person in this difficult time.

I am Hatonn. My brother, your heart is open to sharing, for such is your nature, and you do not limit your sharing to joy, but also to sharing the pains and sorrows experienced by others because of the love that you feel for them. My brother, the saying exists on your planet that “time heals all wounds.” Though we would not attempt to evaluate the accuracy of the terms used in this saying, we would make use of it to suggest that what you refer to as time with the sharing of a sincere loved one can be of great assistance in assimilating the experiences your friend has chosen to take on at this time. Therefore, my brother, to be more concise, we would suggest that your patient willingness to serve through sharing of experience is the most valuable form of assistance you can render your friend.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, thank you very much.

Hatonn: We thank you. Is there another question?

E: I have a question, Hatonn, and that is during the recent flyby Saturn I heard on the radio that the camera of the satellite went out of order. There was also a period of ten to fifteen minutes of transmissions from three other sets of instruments that were described as being very strange, that is that for ten to fifteen minutes strange data was coming through three other sets of instruments, and my question is can you tell us what that incident means or what that strange data was?

I am Hatonn. My brother, you are aware that we of the Federation are unable to supply proof of our efforts for existence. Consequently, to passively allow any such event to occur would be a violation of our own morals, so to speak. To answer what we feel is your subsequent question, if we may be so presumptuous.

E: Certainly.

Hatonn: …We thank you. We cannot reveal to you …

[Side one of tape ends.]

…suggest that the variation and terminations of data could be construed as indicative of variations within the supposedly concrete universe within which many minds attempt to function. The statement made on your planet long ago, “Those who have eyes, let them see; those who have ears, let them hear,” is very appropriate for the situation to which you have referred, my brother, for the perceptions must be selective for their growth value to be derived.

May we answer you further?

E: Not at this time. Thank you.

Hatonn: As always, we thank you, my brother. Is there another question?

E: Yeah. I’d like to ask one other question, and that is—and this just occurred to me—we are of the third density on a planet that is entering fourth density, and on our planet there are beings of first, second, and third density, and as we enter fourth density I would assume there would then be beings of first, second, third, and fourth density, but as I understand it, when the planet becomes fourth density, then those of us that remain in the third density will have to go elsewhere. Is that correct? And why is it that we can’t stay with the planet, if we don’t become fourth density, because second-density creatures stay or are on this planet now, so why can’t third-density creatures inhabit or be on a planet that is in fourth density?

I am Hatonn. I am aware of your question. It is appropriate, my brother, for a mixture of polarities to exist simultaneously when the opportunity exists for those polarities to achieve growth due to the potential produced by the presence of both polarities. However, the presence of both positive and negative fourth-dimensional polarities upon a planetary sphere that contains solely unpolarized third-dimensional entities would potentially result in the third-dimensional entities becoming a sort of battleground between the fourth-dimensional polarities.

To remove either of the two fourth-dimensional polarities would have a detrimental effect upon the remaining third-dimensional entities, therefore, my brother, we have a situation where it is not possible to allow all three to occupy the planetary sphere, nor is it possible to allow either fourth-dimensional polarity along with the unpolarized third-dimensional entities. Finally, to cover all of the potential combinations, to allow the joint occupation of the planetary sphere by both fourth-dimensional polarities without the undecided third-dimensional polarities—correction—third-dimensional unpolarized entities would be simply to extend and aggravate the immediately pre-harvest third-dimensional condition. For these reasons, it is necessary to separate the groups.

In reference to your comparison with the simultaneous occupation of first, second, and third densities, my brother, you must remember the significance of the third-dimensional existence, that is, a time of choice.

May we answer you further, my brother?

E: I think I understand. Thank you.

Hatonn: We thank you. Is there another question we may answer?

D: Yes, Hatonn. At the time you were attempting, that you were working with all of us in the room, and you began to work with me, it seemed to me that you passed over rather quickly, and I’d like to know if you can tell me why that was, and for me specifically, and, in general, how those of us who are not channeling at this time, how we may better prepare ourselves for future contacts, for future workings with you.

I am Hatonn. My brother, we are pleased that you are interested in these matters, for meditation itself is a path toward growth for you, and as insignificant as our efforts and advice may be, we welcome the opportunity to share what little we have to offer with you as frequently as you request.

To answer your questions, my brother, the purpose of our contact with you was simply a refinement of our communication with you, for although we would not attempt to force you to channel, as you term it, we would share as—correction—share in as well-balanced a state as possible our own atmosphere with yours, so as to acquaint you with our presence without forcing ourselves upon you. In your case, the balance was near to being concise and therefore did not require much adjustment. As to facilitating your contact with any member of the Federation, the most important discipline for you to undertake is that of consistent, daily meditation, for there is no other tool, as this instrument would say, that will suffice to do the job. There are many disciplines that possess great value in their ability to facilitate an entity to teach themself, but the tool must be appropriate for the job. In this case, the tool for the job is consistent, daily meditation.

May we answer you further, my brother?

D: No, thank you very much and thank you for your unusual contact.

Hatonn: As always, my brother, the pleasure through the service is ours. Is there another question?

S: I have a question. I’ve experienced a great deal of discomfort this evening. Can you tell me the cause of it, and what I can do to alleviate it in the future?

I am Hatonn. The discomfort that you experience is due partly to our own inadequate control of our attempt to share our presence with you, and for this we humbly offer our apology, for our intent is not to cause discomfort. We would ask that you understand that the unity of contact within this group ebbs and flows as various individuals are distracted, become tired, or suddenly recall the purpose for which they came and return full force to the energy field of this group. All of this requires a constant tuning and balancing for us and we regretfully are not always adept at this.

In your case as well there is a strong request for our presence and communication, but it is hindered by a reluctance which results in a sort of participatory tug of war between yourself and yourself. As we attempt to step up our signal to you, so to speak, in response to the intensity of your calling, the increased presence at sometimes meets a repulsion that itself waxes and wanes with the intensity of our signal.

May we answer you further?

S: No, thank you.

Hatonn: We would suggest, if we might, that through further meditation, both with groups such as this one, or by yourself away from this group, that you will gradually overcome the fears and reluctance that are affecting your development of your talents, for just as the sudden exercising of unused muscles can cause pain and difficulty, so also can the new flexing, so to speak, of your psychic muscles.

Is there another question?

S: No. You’ve been very helpful. Thank you.

Hatonn: As always, we thank you. Is there another question?

E: I have another question, and that is it seems as though the mode of communication that we’re using now would be called telepathy, and what I’m wondering is—that is, whether in communicating with you this way we become any more sensitive telepathically to each other and to others on this planet. In other words, are there any changes in our brains as a result of this kind of communication?

I am Hatonn. My brother, in any spiritual striving that results in the individual more closely approximating his or her potential there is an increase in those skills or characteristics that the perfected individual would find inherent.

May we answer you further?

E: So, are you saying that we are in this communication improving our telepathic skills, so to speak?

I am Hatonn. That is correct just as—correction—that is correct, but just as one might limit one’s perception to a single area and say, “I improve my telepathic skills,” and not see that one is improving simultaneously on all sides, then in another area of research might say, “I am improving my levitational skills,” without realizing simultaneously, simultaneous improvement of telepathic skills.

May we answer you further?

E: No, thank you.

C: Hatonn! When I asked a similar question—I may have read the answer wrong, but I thought I was told that although our telepathic skills improve, that on this level there are so few entities capable of sending a powerful enough thought that our ability to pick up thoughts from our fellow entities really didn’t increase appreciably. Is that right?

I am Hatonn. My brother, the term appreciably is somewhat confusing, however, if we may attempt to clarify the communication problem, we would say that growth occurs—correction—when growth occurs, it occurs in all directions. However, this is not to say that a surge in one area is accompanied by a dramatic surge in a different area. The key to understanding this problem is in viewing growth as the ability to accept and make use of the energy inherent in Light. To be quite skillful in manipulating energy, to levitate for example, does not imply the same skill acquired through practice in such an area as telepathy. There are, in a sense, limitations to what may be accomplished in the third dimension in the area of telepathy simply because to become as adept with the use of Light energy as is necessary to make major displays of telepathy—such as those communications accomplished by some of this group through mechanical devices—would be a level of development far in excess of that requiring an extended stay in the third dimension.

May we answer you further?

C: No. I see what you mean.

Hatonn: Is there another question?

C: Hatonn, when an entity gets a glimpse of future events, a premonition, what source is that entity tapping for this information? Is he, for a moment, open to a higher density negative source, for most future predictions are specific information, or is there, for a brief period, a strengthening of the link between the lower and the plan that the higher self has conceived for his experiences in this density or is it neither of?

I am Hatonn. My brother, there are many possible answers to your question, for there are many potential causes to the effect you describe. Obviously, there are ramifications to inform you what the specific cause of the specific event is and for that reason we will not attempt to define a specific cause or a specific event. However, we would also suggest that you examine the creation that you refer to as time, for time itself is a tool created to serve and not to be served. It is malleable and as your higher self is familiar with this malleability and is also in direct communication with you, it is distinctly possible at times that your higher self will choose to give you a glimpse of what you refer to as the future, although in actuality all futures and all pasts are the present.

May we answer you further?

C: No thank you, for the moment. I’ll have to think about this for a while.

Hatonn: We thank you. Is there another question that we may attempt to answer?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. We of Hatonn are grateful for the extended opportunity of service that you have presented us and desire that you be aware that we are available to each of you individually at any time, for however brief a period of time, if we may be of some assistance, for even the occurrence of a stoplight, or as instrument describes as “being on hold,” are opportunities for a brief but effective effort to establish a link between your selves and ours, if such is your desire and if so, simply address your mental or verbal calling to us, and we will be enthusiastically responsive.

At this time we bid you adieu. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. We thank you for the opportunity to speak as briefly as possible at this time, for we know that you have had a long meeting. We have been exercising this instrument and causing her to twitch about on the couch for some time. We wanted to tell you how grateful we were to be with you this evening. My friends, we will only speak a few words and answer no questions. We wish to share with you a few thoughts.

We first would like for you to think of the oyster. My friends, when an oyster gets sand inside it, do you think that the oyster says to itself, “Ah, sand! I will now make a pearl.’’ No, my friends, the oyster tries as hard as it can to remove the sand, but the sand is part of the oyster’s experience and somehow, as the sand remains and the pain of its remaining is borne, something of great beauty among your people comes to be.

The sand within your existence, my friends, is there, not to cause you to swear, although you do, but to create the opportunity for you to create those things of beauty in your nature which shall be of eternal worth. We call you, my friends; we call you. What do you desire? Not yesterday, not tomorrow. At this moment, desire you the joy …

[Tape ends.]

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Walmart where I bought some sugar-free candy. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed and some cat food. My last stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself.

This afternoon I went into the back yard and put a pile of leaves into three garbage cans, and placed them with other garbage cans for yard waste pickup this Thursday morning.

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

November 23

Your Vessel Of Dust

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

You have seen yourself as a boat upon the river of life, being blown to and fro by forces which you cannot control. The spirit within you asks you to enlarge your vision, deepen your understanding, and share yourself, not with any frail craft but with the illimitable ocean which is your true nature.

It is the illusion of wood and sail, the illusion of tides and winds which make one feel apart from the nourishing water which supports and upholds life. Think now of this productive image. The wood dissolves. The sails disappear. And that most frail vessel of the physical body is released. At last, the seeker becomes one with the sea within which lies wholeness of life. This is water which the soul breathes.

This is wholeness which the body mistakenly denies. Know that you are one with that which feeds, nourishes and sustains your spirit. Know that you are not limited but are only a drop of the sea of consciousness which moves sometimes into a vessel of dust, that it may be fruitful, just as raindrops mold themselves about the dust within the atmosphere and thus fall down to nourish the crops that feed your world.

We leave you flowing freely and endlessly in the peace of the ever-moving water which is the consciousness of Love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from August 30, 1981:

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are happy to join this group, as much because of the opportunity to serve as the obvious joy and Love in which we have gathered. It is, therefore, our pleasure not only to serve, but to share, and for this we thank you.

Tonight, we would like to present to you a small story concerning a young child in the wilderness. The child, as the story goes, found himself abandoned in a wilderness in which the very milieu within which he found himself was antagonistic toward his own growth and survival, but being a child he was not aware of the circumstances surrounding him, for a child is much more aware of those circumstances which he wishes to see and to encounter and this being the actuality of his perceptions, he was unaffected by his surroundings and quite happily and successfully grew and learned in his hostile environment.

My brothers and sisters, the child is yourself, for is it not true that as a child you came to the life you now experience, a life, an illusion that is unquestionably hostile to your own spiritual growth and progression, for your illusion entitles you to a multitude of distractions and setbacks designed primarily to prevent your growth. We encourage you to see through your illusion. You have within you the power of creation. Make use of your power. Create the garden that you so fervently desire to return to, for the only return to Eden that you will experience, my brothers, is a return through the development of your innate abilities to transform disorder and chaos into balance and beauty, and, as the child in the story, by seeing in your world and in your brothers and sisters only that which you wish to see, only beauty, only Love.

In this manner will you grow, and prosper, and return to your Eden. It is very difficult, we know, to receive what often seems vague, esoteric advice and attempt to incorporate it into the daily distractions of your illusion, for your hostile environment requires your active participation to insure the maintenance of your physical vehicles within the illusion. This is as it should be in that your education requires the development of your ability to simultaneously experience the illusion, playing by its rules, so to speak, yet also rising above the illusion and perceiving it as such. In your schools it is often required that you perform the mathematics necessary to sustain and resolve an illusory problem, referring to the mysterious appearance and disappearances of numbers of apples and oranges. In a like manner, the illusion in which you live has problems that require resolution, but not immersion.

Therefore, we encourage you to see beyond your daily apples and oranges, to view them as only problems to be resolved that you might hone your skills in dealing with illusory problems and identifying them as such, for in exerting your will in choosing to be conscious of the illusion as it exists, and not immersed in it, comes the awareness necessary for perception of that which actually is real within the universe. There is a reality in the realization that all is all, that one is all, that all is one. In your daily acts of service, you achieve steps in redressing the imbalance between your race’s perception of the illusion and the reality. In redressing this imbalance, you serve not only yourself but bring more of the universe one step closer to their eventual progression to higher levels of consciousness and education.

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

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument and am pleased to be speaking through this instrument. We would continue, my friends, greeting you once again in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator.

My friends, we speak to you this evening not of meditation, for this is not an introductory group. We speak to you of the fruits of that meditation. Those fruits are the manifestations and expressions of Love. You would call that service. To be of service to those around you is a far more subtle thing than it would seem. Many there are among your people at this time that may be likened unto weeds. Those things which they offer may appear to be pretty, but they take the place of good growing things and give back neither fruit, nor scent, nor true beauty. Many there are among your people who, in attempting to serve, judge harshly their fellow creatures. We have seen many times those who truly wish to serve speak again and again believing that they are aiding their fellow beings and all the while judging, limiting, and divorcing themselves from their fellow beings. Many of your so-called religions operate in this manner. We find it unfortunate, for there is a true service that, like the rose, not only blooms but has a sweet scent and when cut, wishes only to serve by growing again.

It is, as we have said, often difficult to feel as though the radiance of the Creator bloomed within you, for your illusion is powerful and its traps are intentionally dangerous. But it is not so difficult as you might think to remain, in many cases, conscious of the radiance and the beauty of that Love which you channel.

We have only one thought to offer you before we leave this instrument. We ask that you recall the cheerfulness, the joy, which you may experience in good company. My friends, all creatures are good company for all are the Creator. On some the illusion may hang heavy and, like an Halloween mask, protect them from your sight so that you may think some of your brothers and sisters to be those with whom we could not be cheerful, could not be joyful, could not, in fact, share Love. The essence of service, my friends, is an effortless cheerfulness, a lack of judgment, and a willingness to serve as others would have you serve them. Sometimes, my friends, this may mean you cannot serve them. Accept this with cheerfulness and let this very cheer be the service you offer to those who are not yet ready to seek whatever joy you may have, whatever gifts you may share.

Hatonn wanted to speak to this group about the value of meditation. They began by saying we speak to you this evening not of meditation, for this is not an introductory group, so we speak to you of the fruits of meditation, for those fruits are the manifestations of Love, and you would call that service, for to be of service to those around you is a more subtle thing than it would seem, and many there are among your people at this time that may be likened unto weeds, for those things which they offer may appear to be pretty, but they take the place of good growing things and give back neither fruit nor true beauty, and many there are among your people who, in attempting to serve, judge harshly their fellow creatures, so we have seen many times those who wish to serve speak again believing they are aiding their fellow beings and all the while judging and divorcing themselves from their fellow beings, for many of your religions operate in this manner, but we find it unfortunate, for there is a true service that, like the rose, not only blooms but has a sweet scent and when cut, wishes only to serve by growing again. Hatonn went on to say we have one thought to offer you before we leave this instrument, so we ask that you recall the joy which you may experience in good company, for all creatures are good company for all are the Creator, but on some the illusion may hang heavy and, like an Halloween mask, protect them from your sight so that you may think some of your brothers and sisters to be those with whom we could not be joyful, and we could not share Love, so the essence of service is an effortless cheerfulness, a lack of judgment, and a willingness to serve as others would have you serve them, but sometimes this may mean you cannot serve them, so accept this with cheerfulness and let this cheer be the service you offer to those who are not ready to seek whatever joy you may have to share. On December 9, 2002, Q’uo described the essence of service:

The essence of service is that there is not a specific right service, but rather there is an opportunity that will revolve and come about again and again, and each instance of this sort of opportunity to pursue an outer gift will, if pursued, blossom into a viable path. Consequently, you cannot make a mistake; you cannot choose an incorrect road. You can choose only between a more direct one and a more roundabout one.

At this time Laitos will join us, and we would move among you so that each in the group might experience our conditioning and contact. We will attempt to moderate our contact with the one known as R, as we discern that there has been some slight discomfort in the past due to this instrument’s sensitivity.

We leave this instrument at this time in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. We shall resume after this pause through another instrument with his kind permission. I am known to you as Hatonn.

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am with this instrument. We have been attempting to contact this instrument for a free chance for him to exercise, for he needed a bit of experience, for it has been a while since his last attempt. We of Hatonn speak always of Love and wish that each of your people could or would open themselves so that they may experience beauty that is around them and that as they serve they shall become more aware of Love, for with service to your fellow beings you slowly, but steadily, grow yourselves and increasingly bask more so in the Love around and in yourselves.

We of the Confederation wish always to serve each of you in your process of growth toward a greater awareness of the infinite Creator. We will at any time be with any who wish our aid, for as we said, we seek to serve, for through service we may grow and as it is for us, so is it for you people. To serve is to grow. To serve is a great privilege, and to serve is an honor, for through this service each grows.

We are known to you as Hatonn, and will at this time transfer this contact to another instrument for the purpose and privilege of answering any questions you might have, for through answering your questions we also gain greater understanding and deem it a great teaching aid, not only for you in your quest, but also for us. We transfer now. We are known to you as Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am with this instrument and we greet you once again in Love and Light. We offer ourselves at this time for the purpose of answering questions which might be of aid to those who seek . Are there any questions at this time?

C: Yes. As I was channeling—toward the end—once again I felt myself drifting, looking for the words, the concepts, looking to complete those words which I’d begun. Is there some way that I can keep myself more within myself and channel? I tried to do some things that were suggested tonight. I had my hands crossed and one leg crossed over the other leg to keep the energy field closed. Is there anything else that I can do to keep more control for myself?

I am Hatonn. My brother, in this case we feel we might best answer you by suggesting that it is simply a matter of increased practice that will be of most service at this stage of your channeling experience, for as you continue in your contact with our vibration, you have noticed that you look for the next phrase, or thought, or concept to complete the one begun. It is the free and clear opening of the self to our contact and not the seeking through the mind that allows our concepts to be transmitted through your instrument.

Therefore, we would suggest that in order to gain confidence and to open yourself more fully to our contact it is simply a matter of practice, so that you will learn by your own experience that you need not look for the next concept or word but need merely to open yourself and allow these to be transmitted through your instrument. We feel you have made great progress in this regard, and we would reassure you that it is simply a matter of practice.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, not at this time. Thank you.

Hatonn: As always, we thank you. Is there another question at this time?

Carla: I have a question which may not be proper, but I was wondering if you had any comment concerning …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am once again with this instrument. The advanced course in tape changing has just been completed. To answer you, my sister, most fully, we would say that we were quite pleased with our contact with you this evening. The precautions that you have taken to remain within your physical vehicle have worked, in our estimation, quite well, and we commend the effort that is being made in this regard.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No. I just want to thank you for the judgment from your end. I felt that way too. I’m really pleased that I can continue to be of service. Thank you.

I am Hatonn. We thank you and look forward, as always, to future contacts through your channel. May we answer another question at this time?

D: Yes. You mentioned earlier that the distractions within this illusion that get in our way of radiating this Love, these distractions are put here purposely, and they’re designed for the purpose of distraction. Can you explain that more fully, please?

I am Hatonn. My brother, we would say that it is well known to many upon your planet that each of the entities now incarnate on this planet have, before incarnation, taken part in designing at some level the experience which they encounter within their incarnation. In most cases it is what is called the higher self which designs the program that will be pursued and the lessons that will be learned. In an increasing number of cases upon your planet at this time the individuals who are called by our brothers and sisters of Ra the mind/body/spirit complex, itself designs the experience that it will encounter and the lessons it wishes to learn. The lessons are presented as what might be called obstacles, for when one exerts an energy in a certain direction seemingly against a problem or situation, there is an interaction that occurs which, if one is aware, results in learning.

It is necessary within your illusion that there be a forgetting after incarnation, or else the obstacles encountered and the lessons learned would carry no weight since they would not have been forgotten in their purpose, but when forgotten and encountered within the incarnation, present the opportunity for the learning of a specific lesson. The lesson may take many forms. Each entity has its own unique perceptions, and needs, and methods of experiencing this lesson. The basic lesson of your illusion is that all is one. There is nothing but the Creator and it is called an illusion that you dance within, for during your incarnation it seems time and again that there is nothing but opposition, separation, anxiety, frustration, hatred, even unto war. All of this illusion, all of these obstacles, are teaching devices determined by each of you before your incarnation as that which you shall experience so that you might overcome, so to speak, the perception that you have obstacles, that there is separation, that there is anything but the one infinite Creator. The experience within your illusion is intense. It is intensified by the fact that there is forgetting by each who participates within the illusion. It is your task to remember. It is your task to discover that, in fact, there are no obstacles, that there is only the one infinite Creator, that there is only Love, and that this Love might be found within each part of your experience of the illusion. Time and again you shall experience the opportunity to learn this simple lesson.

D asked: “You mentioned earlier that the distractions within this illusion that get in our way of radiating this Love, these distractions are put here purposely, and they’re designed for the purpose of distraction. Can you explain that more fully, please?” Hatonn began by saying it is well known to many upon your planet that each of the entities now incarnate on this planet have, before incarnation, taken part in designing at some level the experience which they encounter within their incarnation, and in most cases it is what is called the higher self which designs the lessons that will be learned, and in an increasing number of cases upon your planet at this time the individuals who are called by our brothers and sisters of Ra the mind/body/spirit complex designs the lessons it wishes to learn, so the lessons are presented as obstacles, for when one exerts an energy in a certain direction against a problem, there is an interaction that occurs which, if one is aware, results in learning.

On January 21, 1974, Hatonn said that there is only Love:

There is only Love. If you will radiate Love for all, you will never need to know what is right and what is wrong.

May we answer you further, my brother?

D: No, thank you.

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

Carla: I have a question. I have a relative who is a fundamental Christian, so fundamental that it boggles the imagination, and I sort of felt like when you were channeling earlier that I really could identify a lot of the judgmental things that my brother has said with what you were talking about. I wonder what the best service one can be to such a loved person who, on the other hand is so terribly judgmental? Is all one can do to be of good cheer and to Love, or is there some seed that one can plant?

I am Hatonn. My sister, in many cases such as this one of which you speak, there is very little that can be done in the way of overt teaching, shall we say, for all who experience this illusion, in whatever perception they may bask, each experiences a valid perception of the one infinite Creator, for there is nothing but the Creator. Each progresses through this illusion and hopefully refines the perception and the experience of the Creator. As this growth proceeds, many teachers are met, for there is nothing but teaching and learning within this illusion. Your brother and each entity upon this planet meets teachers each time he meets another human being, or another experience, or another thought or another moment within the Creation. You are one such teacher. As each teaches, so do you teach.

Your experience with your brother has been long and intense, so to speak. Many ways have you tried to share that which is of meaning to you, as each who becomes more conscious of the patterns of the evolution of the spirit attempts to share that perception with those about them. You may find after a period of time that your very being, that cheer of which you speak, is the best teacher, the best means of your teaching for your brother, for it has often been said that the actions speak much louder and clearer than do the words, and though your brother on a conscious level may seldom experience or express the learning that he gains from your being, yet within his heart, and mind, and being, your being will shine, for you do feel Love for this entity, and that is the greatest teaching device upon your planet.

Carla asked: “I have a relative who is a fundamental Christian, so fundamental that it boggles the imagination, and I sort of felt like when you were channeling earlier that I really could identify a lot of the judgmental things that my brother has said with what you were talking about. I wonder what the best service one can be to such a loved person who, on the other hand is so terribly judgmental?

Then Hatonn said your experience with your brother has been long and intense, and many ways have you tried to share that which is of meaning to you, as each who becomes more conscious of the patterns of the evolution of the spirit attempts to share that perception with those about them, but you may find after a period of time that your very being is the best means of your teaching for your brother, for it has often been said that actions speak clearer than words, and though your brother on a conscious level may seldom experience the learning that he gains from your being, yet within his heart, and mind, and being, your being will shine, for you do feel Love for this entity, and that is the greatest teaching device upon your planet. On June 17, 1984, Latwii said that our very being is our greatest teaching device:

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: Not unless you can think of a good answer to the question, “Have you accepted Christ into your heart today?”

I am Hatonn. May we suggest a simple “Yes”?

Carla: Thank you, Hatonn. Thank you very much.

Hatonn: Again, we thank you. Is there another question at this time?

F: Yes. I’ve been told that in your spiritual seeking, that by digging many holes, as with a well—digging shallow holes—that it would be better to dig one deep hole. In other words, choosing one path, or one so-called religion. Would you comment on this please?

I am Hatonn. My sister, to your query we might respond by saying that though it would appear that an entity, by digging many holes, as you call them, is digging many holes and dividing itself in its seeking, there is only one seeking and it is the desire for this seeking that shall result in the finding. The many holes, when added up, shall we say, shall result in the one path which the entity pursues, and from moment to moment it might appear that the entity is pursuing yet another path, digging yet another hole, but we might suggest that each entity pursues the path that feels to it to be of greatest benefit and learns from each the lessons therein, for many are the paths upon your planet and within your illusion.

Each has that which might be of aid to those who travel that path. In short, may we say, it is your choice to pursue your path and there is nothing but the one path that you pursue, and we would suggest, if we might, that within the depths of your being you are quite aware of the path that you pursue, and in meditation you shall discover the path upon which you wish to tread. Do not be concerned if from time to time the path appears to change. We would suggest that the path is long and the path is one, and your journey on that path can yield nothing but success, for all paths lead to the one infinite Creator.

F asked: “I’ve been told that in your spiritual seeking, that by digging many holes, as with a well—digging shallow holes—that it would be better to dig one deep hole. In other words, choosing one path, or one so-called religion. Would you comment on this please?” Hatonn began by saying we might respond by saying that though it would appear that an entity, by digging many holes is dividing itself in its seeking, but there is only one seeking, and it is the desire for this seeking that shall result in the finding, so the many holes shall result in the one path which the entity pursues, and from moment to moment it might appear that the entity is pursuing yet another path, digging yet another hole, but we might suggest that each entity pursues the path that feels to it to be of greatest benefit and learns from each the lessons therein, for many are the paths within your illusion. Now Hatonn said each has that which might be of aid to those who travel that path, and it is your choice to pursue your path, and there is nothing but the one path that you pursue, and we would suggest that within the depths of your being you are aware of the path that you pursue, and in meditation you shall discover the path upon which you wish to tread, but do not be concerned if from time to time the path appears to change, for we would suggest that the path is long, and the path is one, and your journey on that path can yield nothing but success, for all paths lead to the one infinite Creator. On June 18, 1989, Q’uo said that all paths lead to the one infinite Creator:

The Creator, if asked, will give you what you desire. Indeed, this is so much true that in a way we fear to say the truth, for that which you wish you will surely get. And many of you wish sometimes for very self-destructive things because you are unhappy with yourself. Let no illusion trouble you, but remain in your heart, in your spirit, on your path, for all paths lead to the one infinite Creator.

May we answer you further, my sister?

F: No, thank you.

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

L: Hatonn, I notice that you seem to be developing a sense of humor. Would you care to comment on that?

I am Hatonn. During our lone experience with this group, we have found there are certain avenues of experience and expression which have been opened to us by the needs and the desires of those to whom we speak. It has been our honor and a great privilege to speak in whatever manner is allowed and called for. We find at this time within this group there is a certain lightness, shall we say, that has not been present in such quantity before. Because it is now more possible, shall we say, to utilize the tool of humor, we are exercising this ability which we have not been able to exercise before, and may we say that it is a great honor to find yet another path of service and it is with great fervor that we do our push-ups.

May we answer you further, my brother?

L: I would simply like to offer a comment that more and more the conversations with you are as pleasant as a cool drink of water and we’re grateful for your presence.

I am Hatonn. We share your feeling of gratitude. This group has provided those whom you know of our people as Hatonn with many sips of nectar. Is there another question at this time?

F: May I ask for some advice on showing young children the Light and Love other than by example? Ways that they may be able to learn, maybe, faster?

I am Hatonn. My sister, in this regard we might say that there is no greater teacher for the young one of your people than the example which they see and which they experience themselves within their daily lives. To specifically guide your decision-making in this regard we cannot do, for this would infringe upon your free will, but we can say in general that to experience yourself the Love of the one infinite Creator in a manner which your children can understand and to reflect this Love through your behavior with those round about you is the greatest teaching which can be done. To find a means to daily express in some way your Love of the Creator and your desire to serve the Creator will express to your children what you value most.

If there might be some way in which you could, shall we say, regularize or ritualize this experience and expressing of devotion and Love to the one Creator with your children partaking in them, this would be a most effective means of allowing them not only to see but to experience with you this Love and desire.

May we answer you further, my sister?

F: I don’t do any ritual myself other than meditation by myself. I guess maybe I don’t understand or would ask you to go further on that [inaudible].

I am Hatonn. Many there are among your people who praise the Creator in song. Many there are among your people who praise the Creator in dance. Many there are who praise the Creator in prayer, or meditation, or in certain spoken words which convey the feelings within. Many ways have your people found of praising the one Creator. Any way will be suite sufficient for the child to learn, if practiced regularly.

May we answer you further, my sister?

F: No. Thank you, Hatonn.

Hatonn: Again, we thank you. May we answer another question at this time?

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. May we say once again how great an honor it has been to join your group this evening. As always, we find ourselves immersed in joy when we are asked to join this group. We thank you with every fiber of our being for being allowed to partake in your meditations and for being asked to share our humble message with you. By this service do we learn more of the Love of the Creator. We would say once again that at any time should any request our aid in their daily meditations, it need only be asked that we join in meditation, and we shall worship with each the one infinite Creator.

We are known to you as those of Hatonn. We shall now take our leave of this instrument and this group for this evening. We look forward to joining you in your meditations as you go about your daily lives. We leave you now in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Carla channeling)

I am Nona, and I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. We come among you at this time as we have been called to share our healing vibrations at this time.

[Carla channels Nona until the end of the meditation.]

This morning I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves in the front yard to the area in between the bushes and the back of the gardens along the parking area in front of my home. Then I used Huff and Puff to blow the two week’s accumulation of leaves in front of the gardens along the parking area into the area between the gardens and the bushes in front of my home. Then I went inside my home and got the five extra chairs put in their places in the living room for the channeling session this afternoon.

This afternoon there were nine attendees for our channeling meditation. In our round robin I heard some of the most heart-opening experiences that I have ever heard. During the channeling of Q’uo, some of the questions that were asked were: “How to deal with anger?” “Do positive and negative social memory complexes interact with each other in the higher densities?” “How to heal diseases?” and “How we can relate to cats?” I wish that I could explain how much I enjoyed this channeling session and each of the attendees. It was one of the best channeling sessions that I have ever had the honor of hosting.

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

November 22

Ask For The Spirit Of Love

I am the Spirit of the living God. I greet you in the consciousness of that great name which is Love. I am of the vibration of the consciousness of Love which comforts this child.

As you perceive, more and more, the depth of lack of glad understanding which you express with regard to the consciousness of Love, you may naturally become disheartened. Although it was never intended that difficulties dishearten the seeker, it is necessary, in order to appreciate Love’s consciousness, that perceptions be had of the great dynamic between the action of the Spirit of Love and the substance upon which that action takes place.

For there is much within the consciousness that is experienced by sons of God upon the Earth which is dead to all consciousness of Love. And thus, the redemption of the action of Love upon this consciousness is all the more remarkable.

Remember that those who do not ask for the spirit of Love to come upon them shall not experience a substantial amount of grace. For even were spiritual grace to be given by another who prays for you, unless you gladly receive this grace, it shall not endure. Seek always, then, the redemption of that which is dead and do not mourn your iniquity fruitlessly.

May the consciousness of Love keep you in peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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