I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn channeling for this session comes from June 19, 1983:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. May we welcome those who have joined this group this evening. Our hearts [inaudible] and we rejoice that we may once again speak with you through this instrument to share the blessing of communication and comradeship. You are aware, of course, that we are with you if you so desire, that we are aware that on the other hand it is very helpful to hear our thoughts and to feel the force of them as you would a conversation with a friend, rather than an inner voice.

We gaze now at the topic which we would choose to speak with you about this evening, and we find ourselves discarding many. We would speak to you of the one original Thought of the infinite Creator, that great and powerful Thought of Love which is the foundation of the creation, and indeed is the creation. But we find that you have been working with this concept for some time. Our thoughts move then to the topic of Light, the manifestation of Love, and we would give you information upon how to become a more radiant being, how to manifest Love in your life in the service of others. But we find that you have taken this up, each one of you, and have embraced it and have pursued service to others. We then bethink ourselves of meditation, for it is most important that all outer work be founded, strengthened, undergirded, and covered with the armor of the contact within in silence which meditation offers. And we could abjure you to be more faithful in your meditations. And yet we find that indeed each is pursuing a path in which meditation plays some part, and in which the individual is already attempting to make use of meditation.

We have not run out our chain of conversation with you. We gaze at the possibility of speaking with you about the unity of all creation, and we find once again that each of you works with this concept. Indeed, we find that we must speak with you about the nature of creation as you find it at this particular point in your experience. Many times the metaphor of the way, the path or the road has been used to describe the journey of a metaphysical seeker. It is far too often assumed that this path, in addition to being narrow, stony, difficult, and winding, is the same path as that of your neighbor. Therefore, we would examine the idea of your journey. Indeed, the central metaphor that links your illusion with reality is the journey. You have launched yourself into a journey. And in common with all of your people you are journeying. You do not journey down a common path except insofar as all of creation is fundamentally one, for you are unique. The lessons that you have before you are unique. The gifts that you are given to take with you are unique. And companions who you chose are uniquely your own. The name of every road is Love but there are no markers.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about our spiritual journey. They began by saying we gaze now at the topic which we would choose to speak with you about this evening, and we find ourselves discarding many, so we would speak to you of the one original Thought of Love of the infinite Creator which is the foundation of the creation, but we find that you have been working with this concept for some time, so our thoughts move to the topic of Light, the manifestation of Love, and we would give you information upon how to become a more radiant being, how to manifest Love in your life in the service of others, but we find that you have taken this up and have pursued service to others, and we think of meditation, for it is important that all outer work be founded and strengthened with the armor of the contact within in silence which meditation offers, and we suggest that you be more faithful in your meditations, yet we find that each is pursuing a path in which the individual is already attempting to make use of meditation. Now Hatonn said we gaze at the possibility of speaking with you about the unity of all creation, and we find once again that each of you works with this concept, so we find that we must speak with you about the nature of creation as you find it at this point in your experience, for many times the metaphor of the path has been used to describe the journey of a metaphysical seeker, but it is often assumed that this path, in addition to being narrow and winding, is the same path as that of your neighbor, so we would examine the idea of your journey, for the central metaphor that links your illusion with reality is the journey, and you have launched yourself onto a journey, and in common with all of your people you are journeying, but you do not journey down a common path except insofar as all of creation is fundamentally one, for you are unique, and the lessons that you have before you are unique as are the gifts that you are given to take with you, and companions who you chose are uniquely your own, yet the name of every road is Love, but there are no markers. On May 25, 2019, Q’uo describe the nature of our journey:

Any coincidence that you may observe as you are moving through your daily round of activities and considering the nature of your journey, the purpose of your journey, the destination of your journey, how to discover the fullness of your journey, is a means by which your subconscious mind is giving you an indication of the correctness of your thoughts, of your actions, of your direction.

These coincidences are a means by which your conscious mind may be congratulated, shall we say, given an indication that the path you travel is that path that is most appropriate for you at this time, that you may not fully understand the implications of how this journey you are upon is the journey for you is that which shall be revealed to you through more coincidences and illuminations as you continue doing that which you are doing; and that which you are doing is seeking the truth as it may be known to you most clearly in every facet of your life experience. You are, at each moment that you are wondering about what is the path for you, finding another step on that path. Though you may not understand it at the time, it is that which is appropriate for you.

You must realize, my sister, that the journey that you are upon you have been upon for a great portion of what you call time, in many incarnations previous to this one, and as you continue moving upon this path, there will be more and more indications of how this path opens opportunities for you to learn and to serve the One who is in all. You will continue to find various indications, synchronicities, and coincidences that will make a, shall we say, trail of breadcrumbs, as it were, so that you may find each step of your journey revealed each day you live, each day you seek, is each day you shall find more and more of that journey opening up before you so that you are more able to consciously participate in that journey.

Each journey begins with the subconscious mind showing you some kind of indication that a certain opportunity may be taken, a certain book may be read, a certain conversation may be had, a certain coincidence may be noticed. Keep awake, my sister, open your mind, and your heart, and your soul, and they shall be filled with the purpose of your life.

We ask you to move in imagination from the metaphor of a journey upon land where in the dust you may see at least the footprints of those who have gone before you, to the journey upon the sea. Sit in your wooden boat and listen to the timbers creak and guard well your weather, for this is your boat; this is your path;, this is your journey. The ocean is trackless, merciless, and secretive. What you have to guide you are things that seem very far away, as far away as the stars. You have your ideals, your desires, your seeking. From those you must estimate what sea lane you shall travel. Your journey is a moonlit one, a perpetual shadow land which only by the greatest of purity of effort can you brighten into a brighter light. When you strike land, you do not know what the treasure is. You must explore. You do not know if this is the island of your treasure. You do not even know precisely what the treasure may appear to be.

And so, you sit and listen to the timbers creak and hope for a good wind, and you hone your desire as sharp as a new-minted knife that you might sniff the freshening breezes of seeking and cast yourself once again into your journey. This is the inner work. This will continue. Your refinements done in moonlight have virtue because you are acting within such heavy illusion. When you have prepared yourself, and listened, and smelled, and seen through meditation and the sharpening of the desire to seek the truth, you will find yourself at the end of this incarnation gazing back over your sea voyage with joy indeed. For great progress is made in difficulty, and little in times of ease and repletion. So, get used to the feel of the hawser ropes as you cast off. Adjust yourselves to the smell and the sound of devotion. There it is that you wish to go. Far from comfort, far from safety, entirely at risk, seeking the one Treasure.

Hatonn went on to say we ask you to move in imagination from the metaphor of a journey upon land where in the dust you see the footprints of those who have gone before you, to the journey upon the sea, so sit in your wooden boat and listen to the timbers creak and guard well your weather, for this is your boat, and this is your journey, for the ocean is trackless and merciless, but what you have to guide you are things that seem as far away as the stars, so you have your ideals and your seeking, and from those you must estimate what sea lane you shall travel, for your journey is a moonlit one which only by the purity of effort can you brighten into a brighter Light, and when you strike land, you do not know what the treasure is, so you must explore, and you do not know if this is the island of your treasure or what the treasure may appear to be. Hatonn continued by saying you sit and listen to the timbers creak and hope for a good wind, and you hone your desire as sharp as a knife that you might sniff the fresh breezes of seeking and cast yourself once again into your journey, and this is inner work which will continue, so your refinements done in moonlight have virtue because you are acting within such a heavy illusion, for when you have prepared yourself, and listened and used meditation and the sharpening of the desire to seek the truth, you will find yourself at the end of this incarnation gazing back over your sea voyage with joy, for progress is made in difficulty, so get used to the feel of the hawser ropes as you cast off, and adjust yourselves to the smell and the sound of devotion, for there it is that you wish to go, and it is far from safety and entirely at risk, seeking the one Treasure. On July 12, 1981, Hatonn spoke of the nature of the treasure that we have within us:

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

We would not let this image pass without speaking of that which balances all of the hardships of the sailor’s travels. For when good souls meet together, do they not always throw a party? Suddenly, many times in your incarnation, you shall come across festivities, and you shall feel free and make merry and rejoice, and this is a gift given only to those who seek. You might simply glance in another’s eye and know that you are seeking in deep water together. It does not take much to make a party when two souls recognize one another. Much of what you experience in positivity and joy at a meeting such as this one has to do with the seemingly unlikely possibility that those in deep water and completely alone could suddenly happen onto a party. And yet, where you are gathered, the great Light shines, joy is felt, Love is shared. Each is strengthened, and does, indeed, make merry and so grace the one infinite Creator with the lightsome laughter and the lifted [inaudible].

My friends, no matter what the situation in the illusion, we urge you to do two things. Seek the Creator with a whole heart and a desire to know in order to serve and wait for a party; wait for joy. It has been written in your holy work called the Bible, “Weeping may spend the night, but joy will come in the morning.” The metaphysical sea is awash with salt tears but there is no lack of joy. Therefore, comfort yourself, and above all continue your voyage with as much dedication as you may find within you. Precisely this much, no more and no less. Daily meditation has as one of its most important aspects the regulating of your seeking. For you, as all entities who are conscious, go through seasons, and you are not always the same in your strength, in your faith, and in your will. In your meditation, therefore, fill yourself with that Love which is unlimited. But allow that same intelligence to inform the voyage. If your will lacks, allow the sails to go slack, and do the work that is required to restore them to will, hope and faith. Do not abandon your boat. We strongly suggest you remain on board that great platform of yourself.

Now Hatonn said we would not let this image pass without speaking of that which balances all of the hardships of the sailor’s travels, for when good souls meet many times in your incarnation, you shall come across parties, and you shall feel free to rejoice, and this is a gift given only to those who seek, but you might glance in another’s eye and know that you are seeking in deep water together, for it does not take much to make a party when two souls recognize one another because much of what you experience in positivity and joy at a meeting such as this one has to do with the possibility that those in deep water and alone could happen onto a party, yet where you are gathered the Light shines; joy is felt; Love is shared, and each is strengthened and makes merry, so gift the one infinite Creator with the lightsome laughter. Hatonn went on to say no matter what the situation in the illusion, we urge you to do two things: seek the Creator with a whole heart and a desire to know in order to serve, and wait for a party with joy, for it has been written in your Bible, “Weeping may spend the night, but joy will come in the morning,” and the metaphysical sea is awash with salt tears, but there is no lack of joy, so comfort yourself, and continue your voyage with as much dedication as you may find within you, for daily meditation has as one of its most important aspects the regulating of your seeking, for you, as all entities who are conscious, go through seasons, and you are not always the same in your strength, in your faith, and in your will, and in your meditation fill yourself with that Love which is unlimited, but allow that intelligence to inform the voyage, so if your will lacks, allow the sails to go slack, and do the work that is required to restore them to will, hope and faith, but do not abandon your boat, for we suggest you remain on board that great platform of yourself. On September 4, 2016, Q’uo described what it means to us to seek the Creator:

Ah, we see the desire to penetrate the illusion, to go to the heart of all that is. This is a noble journey, my friends. Each you is upon it. You can be upon no other journey, for that is the only journey. The heart of your journey is to seek the Creator that is within you, the Creator that you are, the Creator that is all things. There can be no other way of looking upon an infinite creation of unity. The Creator took pleasure in making this, what you call creation, in order that it might know Itself through the free will of each of its entities that It has created. From the Logos of every star within your skies, to the planet upon which you dwell, to each of your entities that you share the illusion with, each of you has free will to exercise however you wish. Each exercise of free will teaches the Creator more of Itself and fulfills the purpose of the illusion. Each of your actions reveals more to you of yourself, and if you are conscious of the seeking process, of the Creator itself, it is a journey of lovers, the Creator loving you with unending Love, you seeking and Loving the Creator with a growing Love. At some point, you will find the Creator, for there is no other outcome for the end of this journey. At some point, the Creator will know all that you know and will thank you for all that you have taught It of Itself. At some point every entity within this great one infinite creation will coalesce again into unity, bringing home to the Creator the fruits of this journey through the octave of densities in which you now travel. You are all upon the most noble quest, you are all upon the Quixotic quest. We salute each of you, we bless each of you, we encourage each of you.

[Tape ends.]

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “God is the consciousness of individual being; therefore, infinity is the measure of that being. Nothing can be added to you. No good can come to you; no evil can touch you: you embrace within your own being the infinity of good. “Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.” All that God is, is already established within you. You are that place in consciousness through which the infinite nature of God is revealing Itself. Therefore, good cannot flow to you: good expresses itself from within and pours out upon all who come within range of your conscious awareness of this truth. It is only necessary to refrain from taking thought to relinquish all anxious, fearful thought—to be still.

“Be still and know; . . . in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength,” your peace, permanence, and security—not in bomb shelters, not in bank accounts, but in Thy kingdom, in Thy peace. In that quietness and confidence there is rest, protection, care, co-operation. In quietness and in confidence, fear not. Fear not:

I am with you, and I will be with you even unto the end of the world. Drop your burdens at My feet; drop your burdens in the assurance that all good is embodied and embraced within your being. I will never leave you nor forsake you, If you make your bed in hell, I will be there with you. If you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will be with you—only walk in quietness, in confidence, and in assurance; walk without seeking,

There is no peace; there is no rest for those who are seeking outside their own being, The kingdom of God is within, Accept My kingdom and be at peace. Now are you the sons and daughters of God. Now are you My heirs, joint heirs with Christ, and all the heavenly riches are yours now—now, not tomorrow; now, not yesterday. There is nothing to be achieved tomorrow; there are no regrets to yesterday; there is only this living now, this moment of rest in Me, of confidence in Me.” 

This afternoon I went down into the basement and scraped all of the area below the laundry table as clean as I could get it. Then I used my vacuum cleaner to vacuum up all of the scrapings. Then I used a roller to paint this area with white paint.

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

February 24

The Calm Beneath The Storm

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

Oh, perfect consciousness: as simple as the blue sky and as steady as the steadiest rudder upon a calm sea! This consciousness of Love permeates all. Yet how quickly it is lost to the human heart, to the eye, and to the ear that cannot see the calm beneath the storm of mundane, personal events.

This is your sky. This is your rudder. In your faith, say to the events of the day, “Peace, be still.” And in the fleeting moments that follow, feel the constancy of the Love that remains always as it always has been and as it always shall be: creative, joyful, and merry, leaving blossoms and wonders as a flower leaves behind a scent.

The day may be full. Your difficulties may well be many. But recall in faith the underlying peace that is not of your mundane experience but of the consciousness within. In faith you experience eternity within.

We leave you in this peace, this healing, and this love, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from June 12, 1983:

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. We would like to exercise this instrument briefly by saying that your coming together in meditation serves much the same purpose to each one of you as the fertilizer does for the plants, or in this case, as the one known as M uses fertilizer on her roses. And as you have been discussing, and as you already know, they’re beautiful, and without the fertilizer and the care they would not have the beauty they do. Sometimes you may feel that your meditations are not so important, and yet I can assure you, my friends, they are. Your week is different when you come together and feel the sense of unity and quietness that goes with meditation. As we have said many times, it is our joy and pleasure to be with you. We are delighted to have friends with us who have not been here before. We greet them in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We wish to thank this instrument for permitting us to use her, and now we transfer contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and again I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We shall continue through this instrument. It is written in one of your holy works that a small amount of leaven leavens the whole, and that without that small amount of leaven, all is without virtue. You may think of your meditation time as yeast time, for without the inspiration which you may garner from silence the activities of the day may seem quite profitless and uninteresting to you. How many times in this past week have you wished only to arrive at the end of your diurnal period and lose yourself in sleep? Each time that you have thought that thought you have indeed lost yourself, for you and all that you are is a creature of this moment. It is meditation that impregnates your life with immediacy. It is contemplation that livens your feelings with joy. If you are lucky enough to have a point of view which includes inspiration and joy, we applaud you and urge you ever onward in your quest to refine those virtues, to become ever more a creature of the moment, a creature who knows that this moment is full of Love.

If you are having difficulty experiencing joy and peacefulness, if moments are lost to you, we ask that you try the leaven of meditation. When we ask those among your people to meditate, we know that there is a great deal with which each seeker must contend before meditation is even possible. We know of the seeming mountain of chores, of the illusion that you do not have time. However, meditation stretches your time, gives you more than you had, delivers more than it takes. In your terms, it is a cost productive enterprise. It is far better to find yourself a location and a time for daily meditation and to move to that time and place even if it is only for a few moments each day. However, if this cannot be arranged, any time and any place will do. The primary element of meditation is your desire to seek truth and your decision to seek that truth in silence. Those who seek and do not believe there is an end to the seeking may nevertheless experience those things which meditation will bring about. However, it is admittedly easier if those who seek have some faith in the efficiency of the technique and in the content of silence.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the value of meditation. They began by saying it is written in the Bible that a small amount of leaven leavens the whole, and that without that small amount of leaven, all is without virtue, and you may think of your meditation time as yeast time, for without the inspiration which you may discover from silence the activities of the day may seem uninteresting to you, so each time that you have thought that you have lost yourself in sleep, all that you are is a creature of this moment, for meditation impregnates your life with immediacy, and it is contemplation that livens your feelings with joy, and if you are lucky enough to have a point of view which includes inspiration and joy, we applaud you and urge you onward in your quest to refine those virtues, to become more a creature of the moment, a creature who knows that this moment is full of Love. Hatonn went on to say if you are having difficulty experiencing joy and peacefulness we ask that you try the leaven of meditation, so when we ask you to meditate, we know there is a great deal with which each seeker must contend before meditation is even possible, and we know of the mountain of chores, and the illusion that you do not have time for meditation stretches your time, delivers more than it takes, so it is better to find yourself a location and a time for daily meditation and to move to that time and place even if it is only for a few moments each day, but if this cannot be arranged, any time and any place will do, for the primary element of meditation is your desire to seek truth in silence, yet those who seek and do not believe there is an end to the seeking may experience those things which meditation will bring about, but it is easier if those who seek have some faith in the efficiency of the technique and in the content of silence. On May 23, 1974, Hatonn described the value of meditation:

We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have spoken to you many times about the value of meditation. This, my friends, is of utmost value, since it leads you not to an intellectual understanding but a spiritual understanding. It is, shall I say, only of a transient value in indicating your attempts at seeking. This intellectual understanding, which is sought and found by many of those who dwell upon your planet, is an indication of your progress along the path toward total spiritual understanding. It, in itself, is of no real value for what you find in these endeavors to understand within the limit of your illusion and within the limits of your intellectual mind is so very, very limited as to be of no real practical value.

We do not wish to state that type of endeavor is totally useless and should not be practiced, for some benefit is derived in an endeavor to seek. But, my friends, we do say that in your seeking it is much more important that you realize the truth of the creation of the Creator through a much more direct method, a method that is not relegated to the biases of the intellect, a direct and simple understanding through meditation of the total Love of the Creator of us all.

We speak of a Creator, but we do not ask that you believe in a Creator. We ask that you be seeking a Creator because what you shall seek you shall find. We ask that you give as much care to the purity of your seeking as possible because the principle of reflection is ever present in those who seek. If you can consider yourself divesting yourself of your world-stained garments and dressing yourself in metaphysical cleanliness, settling down in a most fragrant and beautiful meadow, and simply listening, you will discover that you have, indeed, heard the silence. You will discover, perhaps not at once, perhaps cumulatively. But that which you give to this effort you shall reap many times back again. 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. Some have called this Creator, and we find this a good name, although among your people that word is often misused. Most of all that Creator can pour Its infinite supply of strength, Love, compassion, and patience into those portions of your life which constitute your daily round of activities to the precise extent that you desire and allow this to occur. It is a not a great commitment in time to meditate, but it is a great commitment in a timeless sense, for once you have begun you shall change, and your life will be leavened and become different than you ever expected that it would be.

Hatonn said we speak of a Creator, but we do not ask that you believe in a Creator, so we ask that you seek the Creator because what you seek you shall find, and we ask that you give as much care to the purity of your seeking as possible because the principle of reflection is ever present in those who seek, and if you can rid yourself of your world-stained garments and dress yourself in metaphysical cleanliness, settling down in a fragrant and beautiful meadow, and listening, you will discover that you have heard the silence, so you will discover that which you give to this effort you shall reap many times back again, for as you sit in meditation the things of this world fall away, and out of the silence comes that portion of yourself which is infinite, for that portion of yourself is the Creator which can pour Its infinite supply of Love and patience into those portions of your life which constitute your daily round of activities to the extent that you desire this to occur, but it is a not a great commitment in time to meditate, but it is a great commitment in a timeless sense, for once you have begun you shall change, and your life will be different than you ever expected that it would be. On January 24, 1981, Latwii spoke of the value of our seeking the Creator in meditation:

We would like to encourage you, therefore, not to do one thing or the other, not to homestead, but instead listen to your heart and seek the wisdom of the spirit in meditation. The answers for you have been programmed from your, shall we say, higher self. And you have access to the information about your decisions as they occur as it is needed if you but have patience to seek the Creator, to tabernacle with Its presence on a regular basis. Each has free will and you, my brother, are free. Thus, we can only say to you it is quite feasible to prepare for Earth changes, and it is a suitable and appropriate action if it is what your heart tells you to do. Wherever you are you will have the opportunity to be of service and we know that you will find that a blessing.

I am Hatonn, and would now transfer to another instrument.

(M channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I would like to continue on the subject of meditation. It is a very beautiful and positive thing. Some people have seen waves in motion when they meditate. Some people see floating clouds in the skies. Some people see green trees. It is a positive thing. It is very difficult for trouble to intrude if one is truly meditating. It affects each person differently. To a Christian the soul can soar to the very gates of heaven and all eternity is within its grasp. There is a beautiful quiet silence in meditation. It does not leave the person when you are finished. There is a serenity that you carry through the rest of the day, and people around them can absorb some of this serenity. Another expression in your holy book is, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Too many people are so busy and so involved that they find it difficult to quiet down and have a personal contact with the Creator. Meditation is very helpful to give you an understanding of yourself in your infinity.

I am Hatonn. I leave this instrument.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We had intended to close through S, and we found that this instrument was desirous of listening. We find that the one known as C is also desirous of receiving the meager amounts of poor information that we have to give. We thank both of these instruments for many times of service and would be most happy to close through this instrument.

We know that it is often said among your people, so often that it sounds useless to say, “Who are you?” But this, my friends, is the central question of your incarnation. We are members of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Creator. It is our imperfect but considered opinion that you are the Creator. It is our opinion that you are dealing with an illusion which tells you in many, many ways that you are not the Creator, and that those around you are not the Creator, and that if the Creator exists, the Creator must be a fool or a madman. We say to this, “Amen.” This is indeed the intention of the illusion. It was not formed carelessly. It was designed to be somewhat discouraging because each discouragement, given reflection, is an enhanced opportunity to learn.

Who are you? How much do you want to know about yourself? What ethic do you wish to carve out of that knowledge as you deal with others? How strong do you wish to become? How powerful, how loving? What kind of environment do you wish to feel about you? How would you desire your world to be? We suggest meditation. Contemplate, reflect, and then, my friends, listen. For there is within you a voice that is totally silent and that will be the greatest influence your life will ever have if you wish it. You may learn of Love very quickly by meditation, or you may learn of it very slowly. You cannot help but learn about Love, for that is the true nature that lies behind your dreams, your illusions, and your disappointments. Love is your companion, and it is closer than your voice or your breath. Feel within you at this instant that Love that enlivens you and lifts that life you live into merriness and joy. Feel that all about you have the same identity and the same potential experience. Then wander into the illusion once again armed with a little yeast. You’ll need it. Life is sometimes very unloving.

Now Hatonn wanted to let us know who we really are, and they said we know that it is said among your people “Who are you?” but this is the central question of your incarnation, for we are members of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Creator, and it is our imperfect opinion that you are the Creator, so it is our opinion that you are dealing with an illusion which tells you that you are not the Creator, and that those around you are not the Creator, and that if the Creator exists, the Creator must be a fool, so we say to this, “Amen,” for this is the intention of the illusion, yet it was not formed carelessly, but it was designed to be discouraging because each discouragement is an opportunity to learn. Then Hatonn said: “Who are you? How much do you want to know about yourself? What ethic do you wish to carve out of that knowledge as you deal with others? How strong do you wish to become? How powerful, how loving? What kind of environment do you wish to feel about you? How would you desire your world to be?” So, Hatonn suggested meditation and contemplation, and then listen, for there is within you a voice that is silent, and that will be the greatest influence your life will ever have if you wish it, so you may learn of Love quickly by meditation, or you may learn of it slowly, but you cannot help but learn about Love, for that is the true nature that lies behind your dreams, your illusions, and your disappointments since Love is your companion, and it is closer than your breath, so feel within you that Love that enlivens you and lifts the life you live into joy, and feel that you have the same identity and the same experience, and wander into the illusion once again armed with a little yeast, for you’ll need it because life is sometimes very unloving. On April 13, 1997, Q’uo spoke of how we need to learn about Love:

So, community is as the natural state of third density. The reason for the nature of the illusion as each sees it is that this configuration of awareness and perception offers the richest potential for entities to learn about Love and about polarity.

Now, Love itself is infinite and without polarity. It is the unlimited infinite and eternal Light that is the manifestation of the Love of the one infinite Creator. Each who incarnates into third density does so with the expressed purpose of interacting with the society, the community, the neighborhood into which she has been placed by birth, by circumstance, and by that personality shell which has been chosen for the most efficient use of the hoped for processing of catalyst, especially at this time as the sphere upon which you enjoy your incarnation enters into a new area of space and time, and the vibrations are moving through that birthing process. Each entity that achieves incarnation has won her place because of seniority of vibration. That is, those who have most hope of achieving harvest, that illusive fifty-one per cent service to others, have been allowed to come at this particular time.

As always, we caution each of you to take what we have to offer, use what seems good, and discard the rest without backwards glance. We are quite capable of error, and we are only your brothers and sisters, a step or two ahead, an eternity on the same journey. Thank you for the music of your hearts. We are known to you as Hatonn. We leave you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

(S channeling)

I am Latwii, and we are happy to greet you this evening, my dear friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We hope that we have not startled you, but we have been with this instrument for some time, and she was anxious to speak our words so that she might alleviate the pain in her neck which we have caused. We are, as always, pleased that you have invited us here this evening, and we are honored that you find some use in our appearance at these gatherings. We hope that we shall be able to be of some assistance to you this evening, and we would transfer this contact so that we might set about the business of answering those queries which are present this evening. We leave you for a brief moment in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as Latwii.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and we greet you once again in Love and Light. May we then begin by asking if there is a query which we might attempt to respond to?

M: Latwii, I have something that’s been bothering me. That little girl that disappeared. Is it just that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was it predestined, that horrible thing that must have happened to her?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. As we look at this entity and its experience, indeed, as we look at your planet and people as a whole, we see the Creator in many portions striving to learn those lessons which each portion has determined is most helpful in the evolution of the mind, body, and spirit at a certain time. That you inhabit an illusion that does not show a clear reflection of the unity of all creation is important, for the actions taken within this seeming darkness and forgetting, therefore, carry much more weight within the total beingness of each entity within the illusion. Each of you suffers those difficulties of varying degree throughout your incarnation, and these are opportunities, perhaps more severe tests in many cases, for each of you to learn the unity, the Love and the Light, and the joy in each moment of your illusion.

Thus, the entity of which you speak has partaken in the same process of evolution, and within the illusion it may appear that, indeed, a tragedy has occurred. Yet from our humble point of view, we see the Creator knowing Itself more and more fully with the aid of other portions of that same Creator. There are no mistakes. The illusion which you inhabit may seem difficult to understand. But there is an order and purpose to each event, and each event is an opportunity for the Creator to be known more fully.

May we answer you further, my sister.

M: No, that was very helpful. Because although I didn’t know the little girl, I felt a personal sense of loss since I heard about it, but now I feel there is a method in the madness. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister.

C: Yes, Latwii. First, I want to say thanks to you and our brothers and sisters of the Confederation for the aid you’ve been in the upheavals of the last month, not only in my household but at Pooh Corner. And I would like to ask that during all the things that have been going on I’ve experienced many different emotions. I’ve felt like I’ve found myself, and I’ve also felt like I’ve totally lost myself. But I find that decisions at this time are extremely difficult to make. I can’t seem to find what is right for me because I feel so many different things which I feel responsibility for. I feel a need for more of a sense of security. Is this idea of security both physical and emotional? I’m having an extremely hard time understanding what this is, and why I can’t seem to let go with D at this time, having decided that for the children it would be best for us to relocate and start again. The security question is really doing a number on my head. And I wish if you would speak to me briefly on what this thing that I refer to as security is, and how one can grow, not necessarily beyond it, but to be able to deal with it more readily?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We do not mean to discourage you by suggesting that the concept which you call security is an illusion. To seek that which does not exist is to chase the dream which evaporates upon the waking. Your illusion is constructed in such a way that that which you call security is often seen as a desirable goal, and for those who seek such, there are most important lessons to be learned, for as we have previously stated, there are no mistakes, there is only learning. Within your illusion it would seem that if one could only pull together certain ingredients, the financial stability, family and friends with secure and rewarding relationships, the recognition of peers, the path of traveling into the future which seems steady, then one could be secure. Yet, as the child upon the beach building the castle of sand, as one element is gathered for but a moment, another seems to slip away, as the waters of the illusion and the catalyst erodes what seemed to be secure. And, my friend, this is not an accident. As your attention becomes focused on those difficult situations, it becomes honed as the blade of a knife and becomes able to focus upon deeper and deeper aspects of the illusion, and of the self, and of the journey through the illusion by the self. The catalyst works as a file upon the blade, sharpening that attention that it might see deeper and deeper and cut further and further through the illusion to the center of the being of the self. That the true nature …

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn—we correct this instrument. I am Latwii, and am pleased to speak through this instrument once again. This instrument forgot to complete the process of the challenge of the contact as is its procedure, and was momentarily, shall we say, in improper tuning.

To continue with our response, and we ask forgiveness for its length but hope that its importance might justify its length, the blade of the attention then reveals layer upon layer of the truer nature of the being. And each lesson, then, is seen to contain two portions in polar reflection, that is, to know Love, one may experience much anger; to know clarity there may be much confusion; to know patience, there may be much impatience. Therefore, when you are experiencing any of the polar emotions, look then in your meditations to the opposite which seeks to be known. We cannot give you direct advice, as you know. Therefore, we feel it is most helpful to suggest meditation for those times which are difficult. The limitation of the viewpoint is that which causes the distortion of the viewpoint to be experienced. If you can expand that point of viewing so that the unity of all creation is more available to your seeing, then you shall see with new eyes, and those answers which have eluded you in your past shall appear to the new sight.

C asked: “Is this idea of security both physical and emotional? I’m having an extremely hard time understanding what this is, and why I can’t seem to let go with D at this time, having decided that for the children it would be best for us to relocate and start again.

On May 4, 2003, Q’uo spoke about the illusion of security:

This instrument also has had to do a great deal of conscious work upon how to accept the love offerings of others. For, damaged and bruised by the catalyst of its early life, it became, unaware to itself, of the opinion that there was an unworthiness to that entity called Carla which must endure, for there was no hope of becoming adequate or worthy. It is ideas such as these that create a situation in which, rather than feeling confident and sure within the self, the self becomes cast adrift from that center of emotional security within the heart that knows itself to be a worthwhile person. And cast adrift thusly, such entities are ever prone to the self-doubt and the feelings of unworthiness and depression that concur with, or occur at the same time as, these particular distortions in the life pattern.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: Just here in the last month the lessons have been to me, they’ve seemed really, really intense. I remember in a regression that I’m following attempting to learn lessons my father and his father before had attempted within this illusion. Over the years I’ve seen what has happened to my parents because of these particular lessons, and I don’t want this to recur with me. The lesson this time has been about all I believe I can stand, and several times it’s gotten down to the point where I’ve felt like just getting away by myself for a while to try to get myself collected. I find myself really torn because I feel there’s a blockage within me, and that due to this blockage I’m unable to fully open myself to D, to fully accept her love. I do feel that there have been other times when I was able to get beyond this blockage, but I found the blockage redeveloped the other day. I know you can’t deal with problems of the specific person, but anything you tell me about blockages that people may feel would be of great help at this time.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. The experience of which you speak is that experience of what may be called the yellow-ray energy center located at the solar plexus region. It is the nature of this center to allow the expression of the entity of its beingness to those with whom it is in close relationship. The nature of the fully unblocked yellow-ray energy center allows the entity to express complete acceptance of all those within its reach of relationship so that the wishes of the entity for these others is that they be happy, and do that which has meaning for them. The fully unblocked yellow-ray energy center, then, expresses the love of the entity in an unconditional fashion for each of those with whom the entity experiences a close relationship. When there is any kind of condition set upon the giving or receiving of love to or from another entity, then there is the blockage of that center which the entity experiences as the catalyst or the difficult situation which may express itself in confusion, frustration, anger, fear, and if it is not worked with in the minimal manner by the mind complex, then is given to the body complex as a form of what you may call disease formed in a symbolic fashion so that it might be noticed in its new configuration, whereas its previous mental configuration passed without the proper notice.

When you feel any type of difficulty in loving another such as the one which you have mentioned, look at the experience which you discovered the difficulty within. By using the powers of analysis and contemplating the nature of the difficulty, you may form the seeds of what you may call a solution that you may take with you into meditation attempting to experience once again in meditation the difficulty until it is overwhelming to your senses. In this process of balancing, then when the overwhelming experience is felt, for but a moment see in the eye of your mind its opposite, in this case, the acceptance. Then let that image go. Allow a process of natural discovery to occur so that your senses and seeing in the mind’s eye moves from the overwhelming difficulty, and the entity and the difficulty begin to take on new characteristics so that as this process continues, its end result is the equal experience of an overwhelming nature, but of the polar opposite experience, that is, the complete acceptance in this specific situation. If you can accept yourself as the Creator for having both of these means for the Creator to know Itself contained within your being, then you will have begun, and we stress begun, the process of balancing the blockages or distortions to the yellow-ray energy center. This process may be continued for each situation in which you find the difficulty in completely accepting another within your relationship range of experience. This is not an easy process. The lessons of your illusion at this time contain intense catalyst. These are great opportunities for learning that Love, and unity, and joy, and forgiveness, and understanding exist infinitely in each moment, in each experience, in each entity. To learn that, you begin with the opposite experience. As the pendulum of your being moves to the extreme of both ends of its arc, and as you become aware of its movement you shall be able to center that pendulum until it rests quiet and still as the one Creator rests within your being.

C asked: “I find myself really torn because I feel there’s a blockage within me, and that due to this blockage I’m unable to fully open myself to D, to fully accept her love. I do feel that there have been other times when I was able to get beyond this blockage, but I found the blockage redeveloped the other day. I know you can’t deal with problems of the specific person, but anything you tell me about blockages that people may feel would be of great help at this time.” Latwii replied the experience of which you speak is that experience of the yellow-ray energy center located at the solar plexus region, and it is the nature of this center to allow the expression of the entity of its beingness to those with whom it is in close relationship, and the nature of the unblocked yellow-ray energy center allows the entity to express acceptance of all those within its reach of relationship so that the wishes of the entity for these others is that they be happy and do that which has meaning for them, so the unblocked yellow-ray energy center expresses the Love of the entity in an unconditional fashion for each of those with whom the entity experiences a close relationship, but when there is any kind of condition set upon the giving or receiving of Love to or from another entity, then there is the blockage of that center which the entity experiences as the catalyst may express itself in confusion and fear, and if it is not worked with by the mind complex, then it is given to the body complex as a form of what you may call disease formed in a symbolic fashion so that it might be noticed in its new configuration.

On December 30, 1984, Latwii spoke about the nature of blockages in our energy centers:

You may look at your being, including your physical vehicle, as a crystal. Each of your energy centers, or chakras, as they are called by your peoples, are as a facet of a crystal which contains more or less blockage at each center. These blockages are your lessons, shall we say, in coded form. As you work upon your own thinking and perceiving and widen the viewpoint, you remove blockages so that which has been called the prana or the cosmic influx of Love and Light which enters your being at the lower chakra may pass through your various energy centers in a more and more pure manner. That is to say, as you remove blockages or balance distortions, you allow the Light, the prana, the cosmic energy of the one Creator to enter and move through your being in a manner which promotes or allows the white Light to remain white and allows your beingness to be infused with the fullness of the one Creator. When this process has occurred through each chakra or energy center, beginning at the base and moving through the crown of the head, that experience which many in your mystical traditions of seeking have called by various names—enlightenment, nirvana, samadhi—then occurs as the entity comes to know itself as that which it has been from before time began, the one Creator.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: You’ve been very helpful. I would like to ask about something that occurred two weeks ago.

Carla: Hold off, C, let me ask the group something. I’m picking up a real fluctuation in the energy, and we either need to retune or we need to draw to a close. Want to vote on that? Would you mind retuning briefly or is everybody tired?

C: Since it’s [inaudible] it might be better to go ahead and draw to a close.

Carla: Anybody else?

S: I’m willing to go on.

Questioner: I am too.

Carla: Okay, let’s retune.

[Group sings, “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” three times in a round.]

Carla: Okay, that’s good. Carry on, old chap.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument and this group. We thank the diligence of the one known as Carla and each member of this group remembering that the tuning is most important for the quality of the content and the information which is transmitted. We thank each for the patience which each is able to offer to our sometimes lengthy responses. May we then ask if there is another query to which we may respond?

C: I’d like to ask one more, then I’ll be done. As I was saying before, on one particularly stressful evening, I started receiving conditioning that I recognized as Nona, and as I was receiving it, I also began feeling that someone had been hurt, and I expressed this to D that I was picking this up, but I couldn’t hit on anybody specifically. As I was telling D, an ambulance came across the hill with siren going, and as it passed us, I felt an energy release and was quite drained for a period of time after that. Here of late I’ve developed, it seems, an ability or have been sensitized empathically. I want to know, is this the case, and in the situation of which I spoke, was I of any assistance to whomever it may have been in the ambulance at the time? If you can?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. As you seek upon your journey, you shall find various experiences and abilities within your grasp. Your supposition is correct that your ability now is expanding into the area of the healing realms, and indeed your aid was greatly appreciated by the entity to which it was sent.

May we answer you further, my brother?

C: No, you’ve been very helpful tonight. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to you, my brother, for allowing us to perform our humble service. Is there another question at this time?

M: Latwii, I just wonder if so much of the younger generation is afraid of failure, and as a result, even if they’re succeeding, the specter of failure just is there and—in C’s case if he failed as a—if he lost his job, if he failed as a husband, if he failed as a father, life would go on, and he would find a new meaning. Is it that people cannot accept failure? We all fail, and if you can’t be comfortable with failure, I don’t understand how you can be comfortable with success. Because that is the other side of the coin. And is C being afraid of failure in some field the reason he’s uncomfortable? The world’s not going to fall apart if he fails at everything. He still is a delightful human being. And is the younger generation afraid of failure or why are they so tense?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We shall not attempt to describe the one known as C in any terms such as being afraid of failure, but shall simply state that for those within your illusion at this time the catalyst is most intense, and is quite likely to cause many entities to retreat for the moment until the grasp of the situation can be gained, for it is felt by most upon your planet now that the times are most difficult in ways which are seeming to threaten that which has been secure in what you know of as the past. Therefore, the mass consciousness, shall we say, of your people is that which does find some fear at that which seems to be failure.

As you have correctly surmised, there is a greater viewpoint or larger viewpoint which might be taken, that, indeed, the experience and the life shall continue, and it shall be enriched but there must for many be the fear of failing before the entity is able to continue the life experience, for there are many experiences upon the journey of the seeker, and the so-called failure is but one. Many of these experiences have the, shall we say, designation as “bad” or “to be avoided” pinned upon them, and therefore take more time to assimilate, yet each shall eventually learn each lesson, and Love shall be found, and the purpose of each incarnation shall be realized.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, thank you.

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

S: Yes, Latwii. Before I ask my question, I’d like to ask if the energy level of the instrument is okay?

I am Latwii, and we thank you for this concern. We find that this instrument is growing somewhat, shall we say, fatigued, but there is the energy available for two or three more queries of the usual length, shall we say.

S: I had an experience this week that I would like you to comment on. I assume that you know what I’m talking about, so I will just briefly state that I suddenly found myself in a state similar to sleep and also similar to unconsciousness. My body was shaking quite a bit, and I was aware of this shaking. When I came to or woke up, whatever the case may be, my sunburn and my pain were for several minutes totally gone. I was wondering if there was anything beyond a physical nature—if you could tell me what had occurred?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We may speak in general terms with some specificity, yet may not penetrate the total gist, shall we say, of this experience, for some yet remains for your own discovery. The process of the seeker in seeking the truth sets in motion many opportunities for the seeker to experience that which is sought. That portion of yourself which you have come to call the higher self often sends a symbolic message to the conscious seeking self so that by the process of contemplation and meditation the conscious seeking self might penetrate further into its own being, and find more of that which it seeks within itself. As you seek to know in order to serve, that seeking shall manifest in many and various ways. To desire the healing of ignorance or of any diseased portion of mind, body, or spirit is a desire which shall be realized in various steps. Your experience was of this nature, and you may in your meditations ponder the possibility that there is more to this experience which is available to you at this time.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: I’m afraid you always leave me with a puzzle. I would like to ask you briefly another question about dreaming. If one has a dream that one wants to figure out and use, is it necessary to look behind all the symbolism that goes on, and all the people that you come in contact with, or is it sufficient to, say, realize one particular feeling such as unworthiness that carried throughout the dream, and if that was the main message that you got out of this dream, is it correct that this is probably what you have set for yourself to balance?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We would suggest utilizing both methods which you have mentioned. For the general, shall we say, understanding of the dream it is helpful to be aware of those underlying currents or major themes that one feels. To hone the understanding, if we may use this misnomer, of that theme, it is most helpful to attempt to assign some sort of grasp of meaning to each portion of the dream which you are able to remember, for each portion reflects some aspect of the major theme.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii. You’ve been very helpful.

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

M: Yes. K is going to England, and do you have any words of wisdom that would make her trip more enjoyable and more knowledgeable?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Yes. Bon voyage!

K: [Laughing] Well, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii and we thank you, my sisters. Is there a final query at this time?

R: Latwii, how can I improve my health, and the health of others around me?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. This is a most central and large subject for each entity which seeks the truer nature of its own being and the illusion in which it moves. In general, we may suggest that this desire might be enhanced by continuing to seek the Love and the Light of the one Creator within each moment that you experience, within the face of each entity which you encounter, within each portion of your own being. Look about you and consciously, moment by moment, attempt to find, to see, and to radiate the Love and the Light that exists in each moment. If you can, within your own being, continue to fan that flame of seeking and to share it without reservation with each entity whom you meet. You shall be at once doing two things: enhancing your own seeking and lighting the way ever more clearly on your own journey and with that same flame of seeking you shall be lighting the way for others. For as one finds more of the Love and Light of the one Creator within its own being and shares that Love and Light with others, the entities about one will find an inspiration which shall be most beneficial.

To seek this unity, this Love, and this Light is a process which enhances what your people call the health of the being. We would use the term balance but shall not quibble with terms at this point. To be in health or in balance is to walk the journey in will and faith, to have the will to seek and share and to have the faith to know there is that which might be found and shared. To develop these characteristics, the will to seek and the faith to know that there is that which can be found, is most helpful to any entity who wishes to be in a state of balance or health and to share that with others.

May we answer you further, my brother?

R: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my brother. We would at this time suggest the ending of the queries, for this instrument is somewhat fatigued, and we are not able to transmit the clear message when there is the overriding feeling of fatigue. We thank each entity present for allowing our humble service. We are filled with joy at your seeking and your harmony, and we rejoice with you in the Love and in the Light of the one Creator. We are with each upon your request in meditation to offer our conditioning vibration. We again thank this group for seeking our humble and poor advice as responses to your queries. Whatever words we offer are but the merest of trinkets when compared with the great treasure of your own being which each of you seeks, and which each of you must surely find. We shall leave you now in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Vasu borragus.

(Carla channeling)

[Carla channels a lovely song without words from Nona.]

I am Nona. We have shared with you in the healing Love and Light of the infinite Creator. You are with those who desire the healing vibration. We will be with each who mentally calls upon us. We thank you for the privilege of being able to serve [inaudible] this instrument in love and light. I am Nona. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Fear not: “There remaineth a rest to the people of God,” a rest from doubt and concern. In this state of rest, the power of grace descends, and the presence of God flows into immediate expression as our experience. Receive the gift of God without labor, struggle, or strain. In quietness and confidence, in a resting from anxiety and fear, let God reveal Itself. Let God express Itself. Let God live our lives. Let there be no more “I” or “you” separate and apart from God, but let God be our life.

In conscious union with God, the mind rests. The human mind is no longer concerned with the problems of today or tomorrow because the Soul’s union with God—the conscious realization of God—reveals God as the fulfillment of every need even before the need is apparent. Concern, fear, and doubt vanish in the midst of fulfillment; the true meaning of the words, “Fear not,” is revealed. In conscious union with God, the mind of God functions as our mind, as our experience, and as our life. Then the human mind rests and performs its proper function as an avenue of awareness.

This state of rest is an inner peace which is not attained by anything in the realm of effect. Even a thought or statement of truth is an effect, and that is why using the mind to repeat stereotyped statements about God often does not induce peace. It is not thoughts about God that result in answered prayer. Thought about God is not the creative principle of the universe: God, Itself, is the creative principle, and God is known only when the human mind is at rest.”

This afternoon I shoveled fifteen shovels full of garden soil into my Garden Way Cart and went across the street to my neighbor’s driveway and shoveled the dirt into a rut that I made three days ago with Stanley. Then I used a garden rake to smooth the dirt out. Then I put away the shovel and rake into the back of Sybil, my 1990 Dodge Dakota pickup truck, and then I put the Garden Way Cart back into the garage. When the weather gets warmer next month, I will sow some grass seed in the garden soil.

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

Blessedness

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

Has the concept of “blessed” touched your life, your thoughts and your feelings in the last little while? Does the sweep of your life include consecration? We surely hope that it may.

And if it does not, we who speak of divine Love and bear the consciousness of that Love urge each seeker to gaze in faith upon the blessedness of that which lies before you this day. For each moment is sanctified to the sanctified eye, ear, and heart.

Surely, we who came to comfort shall comfort still and be with each. And if blessedness is escaping your consciousness, turn within and ask in humility to be shown that vision of beatitude which lies within each event which comes before you.

For those who act are all blessedly loved by the divine consciousness which is Love. That Love strives to move into a world of illusion and shadow. May your consciousness of blessedness lighten the area about you. May your vision, given by grace and produced by your will to worship, bless in turn all those about you.

We leave you in peace, that undergirding strength of Love divine, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight: 

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channeling today come from June 5, 1983:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my brothers and sisters, in the Love and the Light of our one infinite Creator. How joyfully we join you this evening, my friends. We have experienced also the joy of your coming together in your time in this place to perhaps find comfort, joy in the being one with other selves who are also aware of the struggles along the path of Love and Light. We thank you, my friends, for allowing us this opportunity to be with you. We, of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the One Infinite Creator, have always enjoyed the opportunity of serving, and in this manner of telepathic communication through the free will use of an instrument would like to think that our small messages may, indeed, be of some service.

My friends, have you looked about you today? Have you reveled in the beauty of your planet, in the voices of the birds, the greenness of the trees and the grasses, in the beauty of the sky, the dark rich soil which allows the second-density entities to prosper? My friends, it is, indeed, easy to get caught up in the trappings of your illusion, to overlook the small wondrous ways of the creation, to look about and see the abounding Love that is so apparent from the Creator. My friends, take a moment. Enjoy the Love, the oneness, the beauty of the creation. Indeed, all is one. And, my friends, even though it may be difficult to realize, you also can be no other than beautiful because you too are a portion of that creation. You too are one with your other selves. Do you see beauty in another self? How can you deny that beauty in yourselves, my friends, for you and all others are one. Do not be so harsh upon yourselves, my friends. If you take a moment to see the Love in another and the beauty of another, take also that moment, my friends, to see the beauty of the Creator within.

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

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again through this instrument in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We shall continue through this instrument but thank you once again for the ineffable pleasure that your request for this rambling of ours gives to us as we attempt to serve you the thoughts which you may hold or toss away as you find value in them.

You are aware, my friends, that you live in an illusion. You see the illusion made foolish and blurred many times in an incarnation. You see the string that holds up the conjurer’s hat. You see the hidden dove in the pocket. From time to time, you are given glimpses of a finer and more carefully tuned reality, or as we prefer to call it, illusion, for there is nothing but illusion out of which to make your consciousness that of the Creator. It is simply a choice of which illusion you wish to choose. One choice which affects subsequent choices quite centrally is the choice of what to desire. When people become aware that they live in an illusion it is often a logical response to desire to experience that which is not illusion. It is an illogical response, and one which you will not learn listening to our words, to assume that in the receiving of this desire you will find a constant and unremitting happiness, peace of mind, or tranquility. We promise you no such foolishness. If you wish peace of mind, we urge you to go back to sleep. However, we are aware that each of you has already irrevocably chosen to wake up, to know the illusion for what it is, and to choose the experiences that you will have. Of course, you wish to experience tranquility, peace of mind, and happiness. And so, you shall. But when these things are goals in themselves, you reduce the speed with which you will be able to further untangle your illusion to a near standstill. The one who is on the way will experience some discomfort, for there is always the discomfort of travel. You do not have everything that you had in your domicile. You have not packed for every possibility. You are caught short, and stranded, and made uncomfortable because you put yourself at risk against the unknown. In seeking the truth, the truth is always beyond the next bend. The truth escapes at precisely the speed you travel so that it is always in front, and you have always learned more than you knew before if you take responsibility for what you have already learned.

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

In this session Hatonn spoke of the nature of how we grow spiritually by traveling through the illusion of third density. They began by saying you live in an illusion which is made foolish many times in an incarnation, and you see the string that holds up the magician’s hat, and from time to time, you are given glimpses of a more carefully tuned illusion, for there is nothing but illusion out of which to make your consciousness that of the Creator, so it is a choice of which illusion you wish to choose, for one choice which affects subsequent choices centrally is the choice of what to desire, but when people become aware that they live in an illusion it is often a logical response to desire to experience that which is not illusion, but it is an illogical response, and one which you will not learn listening to our words, to assume that in the receiving of this desire you will find a constant happiness and peace of mind, so we promise you no such foolishness, for if you wish peace of mind, we urge you to go back to sleep, yet we are aware that each of you has chosen to know the illusion for what it is, and to choose the experiences that you will have, but if you wish to experience peace of mind and happiness, so you shall, but when these things are goals in themselves, you reduce the speed with which you will be able to further untangle your illusion , for the one who is on the way will experience some discomfort, for there is always the discomfort of travel, and you do not have everything that you had in your home, and you have not packed for every possibility, so you are uncomfortable because you put yourself at risk against the unknown, for in seeking the truth, the truth is always beyond the next bend, and it escapes at the speed you travel, so that it is always in front, and you have always learned more than you knew before if you take responsibility for what you have already learned. Then Hatonn said let us return to our comments about the moment, so the decision you make is the decision to seek Love, not any kind of Love, not any description of Love, and to seek Love is to seek one of the primal distortions from the infinite Creator, and to seek Love is to seek the intelligence that fills the consciousness of the universe with purpose, and to seek Love is to seek that which is omnipotent, omnipresent, and closer to you than anything that you will seek to experience, for the experience of finding Love is rare, yet that Love is so close, so transparent, and so powerful that it will pick up your life and move it at an ever-increasing acceleration towards truth, so the reason for this is that people expect Love to be a mental experience, an emotional onslaught and the great “Aha!” of philosophy, but whatever people expect is not what Love is, because Love has been in every moment that you have experienced this day. On September 4, 2016, Q’uo suggested that we seek Love:

All have the opportunity to seek and to find Love. As we have said before, this creation is made of Love. It only seems to be other than Love, in order to provide you, shall we say, a challenge that allows you to increase your polarity of positive seeking to serve others by finding the Love in those situations in which you find yourself engaged in your daily round of activities. The more difficult it is to find the Love, the more positively polarized in every situation in which you are able to perceive it. It is well to begin your day, shall we say, in a conscious remembrance that this is your purpose: to seek Love, to find Love, to give Love, to be Love. If you can find a manner in which this is a reminder to you—be it a period of prayer, a period of meditation, a period of reading inspirational messages—whatever manner allows you to become aware that this is your purpose for the day, it is well to begin the day that lies before you in this manner.

As we speak to you, the moments tumble by, numberless, limitless, thousands and thousands of moments. Can you reach out and grasp even the tiniest moment filled with Love? Ah, you can feel that about which we speak because you are becoming tuned to Love, you are resonating with Love, you are being filled with Love at this moment, and you become thereby a powerful person. But it is now another moment. And when you are not sitting in meditation, you are often in the situation of manifesting the Love that is in the moment. Now you know why we urge meditation. Now you can feel the Love of the moment, be taken by the rush of the wind of Love, be stormed and overcome and be in the moment. And there are those who are in that moment for a short period of your time, and there are those who find that moment and do not leave it for hours or weeks or years as you measure time. But you choose to come out of meditation and go about your daily life. Now you see how the choice of what you decide affects so many other choices in your life’s experience.

If you desire happiness or peace or tranquility there are many moments that must be discarded. If you desire to know Love which is the Thought, the one Word or first Thought, the Logos of the infinite Creator, then you will be uncomfortable and accountable at the same time. You will be attempting to find the Love in a moment that does not intrinsically appeal to you. And this will occur time and again because you will be learning. We do not say to you that it gets easier; we say to you that it becomes more exciting, that the possibilities for service to others grow greater, that there are certain advantages to declaring yourself clearly in a universe which is crowded with intelligence, for there are many kindly and loving intelligences which will tabernacle with you as you glory in the unity of the Love of the one Creation in its infinity.

Now Hatonn said as we speak to you, the moments tumble by in thousands and thousands of moments, and you can feel that about which we speak because you are becoming tuned to Love, and you are being filled with Love at this moment, so you become a powerful person, but it is now another moment, but when you are not sitting in meditation, you are often in the situation of manifesting the Love that is in the moment, and now you know why we urge meditation, so you can feel the Love of the moment  and be taken by the rush of the wind of Love, for there are those who are in that moment for a short period of your time, and there are those who find that moment and do not leave it for hours or weeks or years, but you choose to come out of meditation and go about your daily life, for now you see how the choice of what you decide affects so many other choices in your life’s experience. Hatonn went on to say if you desire happiness or peace there are moments that must be discarded, and if you desire to know Love which is the first Thought, the Logos of the infinite Creator, then you will be uncomfortable and accountable at the same time, for you will be attempting to find the Love in a moment that does not appeal to you, and this will occur time and again because you will be learning, but we do not say that it gets easier; we say that it becomes more exciting, that the possibilities for service to others grow greater, that there are advantages to declaring yourself clearly in a universe which is crowded with intelligence, for there are many loving intelligences which will tabernacle with you as you glory in the unity of the Love of the one Creation in its infinity. On February 18, 1996, Q’uo described the nature of the Logos:

The energy which enters the feet and base of the spine is an intelligent kind of energy that is most likened to what you would call Love, that creative energy which enlivens all creation. It is the enlivener, the energizer, and is the daily gift of the Logos to all within its care. A kind of manna, shall we say, which each entity will use in an individualized fashion. This is a tool of the soul, as you have called it. The soul essence of each entity is that focus of consciousness which exists from time immemorial and moves into the evolutionary process as a portion of the one Creator. It utilizes the various densities and incarnations within each density to achieve certain levels of awareness and expressions of energy within them. Thus, the intelligent energy or prana of the Logos is that which propels the creation. The soul is that portion of consciousness which can use this universal energy for personal evolution.

We would close through the one known as K. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. We would close this evening by saying that the joy we feel and the joy you feel by coming together in meditation is in itself enough. The peace that all of us experience together, we as well as you, is healing, and we are all uplifted through the experience. As each of us goes our separate ways you may feel separate, and yet we are not separate. We are always with you. We leave you now in the Light and the Love of the infinite Creator and give thanks again for having had the opportunity to be with you. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am with this instrument, and we greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are most privileged to be with this group once again, and we rejoice in the opportunity to serve in our humble way those present this evening. May we begin our service then by asking for the first query?

K: Yes, Latwii, I seem always to be the first one to start, but if that’s the way it is, then here goes. I have a friend who—we’ve been talking about dreams today, and she says that she has a recurring dream. And she’s had it for years. And she’s always lost in this dream. Sometimes she can’t find her way home; she doesn’t know what street her home’s on; in fact, she’s just lost. And could you make any comment on a recurring dream like that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. The recurring type of dream is most usually that message from the unconscious portion of the mind or deeper self which attempts to give to the conscious mind a basic message or theme for the incarnation. This is a recurring phenomenon for it is a foundation stone of the seeking process for the entity experiencing the recurring dream. It is similar to the child which has attempted to learn a simple childhood game, shall we say, and finds some portion of the game beyond its ability to master, and, therefore, in later experiences, as the years pass, discovers that this portion reappears, and again provides the opportunity for the mastering. The entity continues the experiences and finds that until there is the mastery of the lesson, the lesson continues to appear.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I thought that was probably about what the dream meant. Now then, would you comment on the dream I had last which was very much like a vision within a dream concerning my mother-in-law?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that the experience of which you speak has indeed a most profound and vivid nature when seen in harmony with your own learning. We cannot, as you are aware, make the mystery plain, for to do so would be to take from you that opportunity which strengthens your own being as you participate in the untangling of the symbols. We can suggest the viewing of each portion of the dream as being found upon a scale, with one end being symbolic and the other being what you might call actual or real, though these terms are not satisfactory. As you look at a dream and its contents, ask what each portion stands for within your own being and experience. That you have lost something in the dream and it later appears in the possession of another who offers it to you is most important. What is it that has been lost? Why does it appear in another’s possession and why that other? And why would that other offer it to you? Questions such as these are helpful in untangling the meaning behind any dream, and even may be extended to the awake state, as you would call it, and the experiences which this state of consciousness contains. For each experience in your life stands not only upon its own but has ties or offers pathways to deeper understandings for the seeker of truth.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that’s fine, thank you. One other question. What was the meaning of the golden Light that surrounded us?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The Light which you have perceived within this dreaming experience is a Light which you view as the all-sustaining beingness of the one Creator which surrounds, informs, and enables, and, indeed, ennobles each entity and experience.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that’s fine, thank you.

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

M: Well, this is a little bit personal, but do you have—have you ever had a reincarnation on Earth, or have you ever been acquainted with any people in our Earth history, either the Bible or our own history?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your question, my sister. We of Latwii, as is the case with each Confederation member, have had those among our, what you have learned to call, social memory complex, who have offered themselves and their services in the capacity of what you have come to call the wanderer. That such entities have gone from our beingness to your beingness from times of old is a truth which we rejoice in the experience of, for by the offering of such service, thus do we glorify and praise the one Creator. Thus, also do we grow in understanding of our own beingness and the beingness of your people which when we are able to fully comprehend these natures we shall find that they are, indeed, one. We have not experienced incarnations in what you would call the third density in any other fashion, for our own third-density planet of origin lies in another, what you would call, solar system.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: That was very helpful, but do you have any—even though you may not have had a third density experience here, do you know anything more about the people in our history—the knowledge we have on them is so limited—Ghandi or Jesus, any of the people? Would you have an expanded knowledge that would be helpful to us about them?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Though such knowledge is accessible to our seeking, and is available because of certain experiences that we have shared with the peoples of your planet in the capacities of which we have just spoken, we find that such information lies outside of our chosen field of service, that is, we are more of the philosopher’s bent than the historian’s recordings of the people and places of the drama which your planet now completes. That we wish to offer information which is helpful to those who seek the truth is a fact which also mitigates against the over-concentration upon information of an historical nature, for it is not usually helpful in the evolution in the mind/body/spirit complex for that entity to devote attention in great degree to the lives of others when the life of the entity itself begs for close examination.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, thank you, that was very helpful.

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

Carla: As long as we’re on dreams, I would like to ask about a couple. Firstly, I dreamt that Jim’s parents were looking back over a life in which they had won a house in a raffle when they were in high school. And they used to go over and sit in the empty rooms when they were fifteen and sixteen, and gaze at them while finding a toy in their crackerjack box. They were explaining to me at the age which they are in this lifetime, which is about sixty, that they had in fact fulfilled all the dreams they had had as children for this house that they had won. They had finished the garage, and they had finished the family room, and so forth. I’m wondering if you could confirm that I was attempting to tell myself something about the relative value of the prize in the crackerjack box and this particular dwelling in which this meeting is taking place and its possible purchase, to me?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, we find that the general comment is the extent of our ability to serve in this instance, for as you have surmised there is the connection between the symbol of the crackerjack prize and the dwellings which have become important, shall we say, to those entities …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am with this instrument once again. We shall continue. The entities which joined you in this dreaming experience, as you are aware, have placed great value in that dwelling which they, indeed, had long sought and finally found. There is the symbolic relationship which needs the examination from your own perspective between the dwelling which was found by these entities, the dwelling which you now attempt to purchase, and the relationship to the prize, shall we say.

This is not an unusual situation, for each entity as it seeks in whatever way it seeks will find that there are various goals set before it. Each goal exists not only for itself, as we have mentioned, but stands as a symbol for yet a deeper seeking. The attitude of the seeker in the attempt to attain the goal is most important. The entities within this dreaming experience were portrayed as the high school aged lovers who long sought the house. The trinket within the box of candied corns was the corresponding symbol for this particular seeking. Yet there lies beyond the symbol deeper meanings, as we have mentioned, for each goal which is sought. The attitude of the seeker determines the depth of the penetration and the access to these deeper meanings, for the one who seeks more and more purely to be of service to others, to find the Love and joy in each moment, and who sees the unity of all creation sees a different world, a different goal, and a different message from those entities who are not as aware of the nature, shall we say, of the reality which they inhabit.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Not on that particular subject, no. That was great. Thank you. I have another question just out of curiosity. I hope I’m not wasting your time. Also last night I dreamed something interesting to me, and that was it was like a history novel—I dream a lot of adventures that I’m always protagonist in—and in this particular adventure, I had a farm in space/time and periodically I had to scan it in time/space because there was such a thing as—in the dream it was called “time squatters.” And what these were were outlaws of one kind or another who were able in this particular universe to pay for the technology to be moved to that same piece of land but at a time at which it was not inhabited, back in the past or in the future, and there were some dangers because these outlaws did dangerous things to the land, and anything that was past could affect the future, so the time squatters were a danger. Is there a universe in which there are time squatters?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We do not mean to be facetious, but shall state that each in this dwelling is such an entity, for if you will look at the continuum which you call time, you will note in the overview which may be gained from moving the attention to time/space that, indeed, times past, present, and what you call future are one time, as you call it. You perceive this one time as a linear type of experience in which there is a time which has been completed, a time which is occurring and a time which shall occur at a later, as you call it, time. Yet the river of time is one river. The space which you now occupy has itself been occupied by others at other times, shall be occupied by yet others at future, as you call them, times, and yet all these times are one, and in the great scheme of things, as you call it, all the entities and all the times, and all the places are one thing, one process, one experience, one evolution.

Yes, my sister, you have in your dreaming experience individualized and made more real, in a specific experience of your own, this simple fact of all existence. That it might be used in such a specific fashion as was the case in your dream is also a possibility within certain realms of being.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

Questioner: I have a question, Latwii. You are of a philosophical bent, and you have a sense of humor, and you experience joy, and our calling. Do you experience sorrow, and if so, about what kinds of things?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We of Latwii experience sorrow as an experience of other selves which do not yet know the nature of their own being, and experience that which they experience much as the entity who has the blindfold upon the eyes and wanders in the seemingly dark and dangerous jungle, and finds that there are areas of difficult passage. We of Latwii attempt to be service to such entities first by hearing the call, then by blending our being in time/space with the entities who call that we might become one with such entities and feel that which they feel in order that our service might be, shall we say, tailor-made to be of the most aid without infringement upon the free will of such entities. We of Latwii, therefore, do not feel that which you call the sorrowful feeling as a portion of our own being or experience, for we have moved from the blindfold stage, shall we say, and have removed that obstacle to sight and have been blessed with the sight of the one infinite Creator and the one infinite Creation which is our own being, and is our experience on what you might call a perpetual basis. We, however, do feel a type of yearning for further completion of our evolution, and this yearning or feeling of incompletion then urges our progress or evolution.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you.

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

K: Yes, just one more question, Latwii, from me. My daughter has had a superior class this year, and she had a great deal of apprehension about it. She thought the parents of these superior children would give her a hard time, and, the typical mother that I am, I began to visualize Light around P and each of the children. I would visualize the classroom filled with Light and these smaller lights moving around in the classroom. And then I would visualize these smaller lights, which were the children, going home and being a blessing to their families. Now I did that in my meditations much of the year, and P has gotten along just great this year, and so have the children. But this is why I’m asking the question. Friday was the last day for the children, and several of the parents came to school and brought gifts, and P came home from school and said, “Mother, we had a hug fest today,” she said, “you never saw so much hugging in all your life.” She said, “Parents hugged me, and I hugged them, and the children hugged me, and I hugged them, and we spent a whole lot of the day hugging.” And, you know, it was such a good feeling after she had started off with so much apprehension. And my question is this after that long explanation, did my visualization have anything to do with what happened?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that it is quite evident that your efforts were partially responsible for the fruits of your daughter’s efforts. There is the relationship which is the parental relationship shared in this instance that enables the sending of Light to be more efficient than were the sending completed by another outside of this particular relationship, for the situation of the teacher and students and parents is, shall we say, one of an harmonic resonance with that which you share with your daughter. Therefore, your abilities were enhanced, shall we say, and the sendings of Light were, therefore, configured in such a specific manner as to be more useful.

We are pleased to say that any entity which is in a relationship of a close nature with another is, therefore, able to be of a more specific aid to that entity. We say that we are pleased to make that observation for we know that each in this circle this evening stands in relationship to another entity that is in need of such aid, and we are aware that those present wish to be of service in this manner, and might take some solace or comfort in knowing that the service which is intended shall be enabled by the ties which already exist, for knowledge aids the service as the light is configured in such and such a fashion.

May we answer you further, my sister?

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

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that we have exhausted the queries once again. We are pleased that we have been able to utilize this instrument this evening for the performance of this humble service. The feeling of the group in the conservation of this instrument’s energies has been helpful in making those responses which we have made of the, shall we say, highest quality. We thank each entity present for seeking our service, and for allowing our service. We shall be with each whenever requested, and we rejoice at the blending of our vibrations with yours. We shall now leave this group, rejoicing with each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Latwii. We leave you now, my friends, in joy and in peace. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “At some period or other in our experience, we must give up our concept of the body as constituting the sum total of our being and accept the truth of our spiritual identity as consciousness. There comes a time for us to cease living as human beings. This does not mean that we must die or pass on to obtain our spiritual estate. This is not the death of the body, but the transition taking place in consciousness, referred to by Paul as dying daily in order to be reborn of the Spirit. Every day we must consciously remove ourselves from the laws governing human experience and acknowledge the grace of God in the conscious realization that we are living in the Invisible, on the Invisible, and by the Invisible. In this reliance on the Invisible, we die daily, until one day we die completely and are reborn in Spirit. From that moment life is lived on an entirely different level in which we are not subject to the laws of physicality but live under divine grace.

Transition is not primarily physical; it is an act of consciousness. The worm is transformed in the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly. The caterpillar state of consciousness drops its worm self and rises into its butterfly self. Transformation takes place in consciousness and externalizes itself as form. As we begin to understand this new and startling idea, we will then perceive that this I which I am is permanent and eternal:

In the beginning God: the nature of God, Consciousness, is a continuous state of eternal being: and God manifests Itself as you and as me. God maintains the continuity of Its own existence in Its infinite, individual form, forever and forever and forever. All those who existed in the beginning exist now, and those who exist now will exist forever.

The body is the temple of life. This temple is life itself formed, Spirit formed. Just as the brain is the avenue through which intelligence expresses, so is the body the avenue through which life manifests Can life be separated from its temple? Life is the substance of which the body is formed; therefore, the body is as indestructible as life, and as ageless.

Within me is the spiritual life force, which is functioning from the within to the without. I do not have a life force; I am the life force. That life force constitutes my true being and flows into harmonious and infinite form. Consciousness is the law and the activity unto the body. Nothing can ever stop the being that I am because I exist independently of what the world calls matter, confinement or embodiment. The nature of my being is eternality.

The invisible activity of Truth, operating in my consciousness, is renewing me physically, mentally, morally, and financially. Day by day this inner Selfhood is manufacturing whatever is necessary for the fulfilment of my Earthly experience.

I may watch the body pass from infancy to youth, from youth to maturity from maturity to middle age, and from middle age to old age; but through every change of the body, I remain as an observer, “impenetrable, unentered unassailed, unharmed, untouched. “At nine, nineteen, or ninety, I shall be watching every change of the body every change of expression. I will never leave me nor forsake me. I cannot leave me nor forsake me because I is “me.” I will always govern and protect me.

The only moment I can know is this minute. A minute ago has no existence; a minute from now will have no existence. To me, the past, the present, and the future are now: it is this now in which I am living; it is now that I have always lived; and it is now that I shall always live. It is purposeless and pointless for me to look forward to a life one hundred or two hundred years from now. The only time I can live is now; and now, in this moment, God, the one Life, is expressing Itself. I do not express life: Life expresses Itself as my infinite, individual, indestructible being.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,” Thou art there. Death is not annihilation; death is but a shadow that looks like death. Even through the valley of the shadow, I shall stand there watching myself pass through it because I can never be separated from I. I can never die.”

This afternoon I went back over to my neighbor’s yard across the street and put the leaves from under the tarp in her back yard into eight garbage cans, and then I put them with the other four cans from yesterday at the end of my driveway.

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

February 22

Love Is Ever Available

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

This day lies before you as the landscape spreads out before one who gazes from the tower of detachment. Gaze well at this portion of your existence and plumb the depths of its resonance, for the Spirit is always and everywhere available to each thirsting spirit.

Once one descends from the point of view of early morning observation into the busy noontime hubbub, one may well have forgotten the beauty and resonance one saw from on high. Let not the descent into the valley of experience rob you of the gift of conscious sight.

The Spirit is there to help you. We ask you to seek that comfort and guidance within each situation at all times, for Love is ever available to serve the needs of those who wish to be servants of Love Itself.

We leave you in that blessed, healing Love which is the Love of Jesus the Christ. 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. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from May 29, 1983:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet you, my dear friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are happy, as always, to join your group this evening in the unity which abides in this dwelling, for when people upon your planet are joined together in unity in the Love and in the Light of the Creator, there is a warm glow that emits from such a dwelling, and it is pleasing to us, for this lets us know that we are, indeed, sharing the path with many of your people. We all seek to know the truth, to know the answers, for we all are sometimes confused, and we often wander aimlessly, but when we join together in unity we are more able to see the Light that is ahead of each, for the Love and the Light surrounds all and we are all joined by this Love and this Light.

We wished only to exercise this instrument for a few moments, and she has, as always, been most cooperative and receptive to our contact. We thank her for this. We would allow this instrument to spend some portion of your time listening as this is what she wishes to do this evening. We would therefore transfer this contact at this time. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, friends, once again in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. This instrument has no idea of what we wish to say through her this evening, and one of the things which we would like to say is that this willingness to speak without concern for the product of the speech is necessary for those who wish to serve by being vocal channels. There are many, many ways to serve, and this is but one of them. However, in each way that you serve, one of the keys is the same sort of relaxation into a faith in the process of a kindly universe at work within your life. Just as this instrument speaks without knowing the next sentence, yet because she has tuned and prayed, she opens herself with the intent to do this service. So, in your chosen service to another, the greatest efficacy may be found in relaxing into the flowing of a kind of communication from your heart and the deeper portions of your mind to your actions. In such a way you become inspired, and, indeed, you become inspiring. That is, you may inspire others by your lack of fear and concern, and by your wholehearted desire to serve, as well as by the radiance which is peculiar to those who have learned the value of faith governed by a carefully tuned desire.

Faith is much like the traveler who is weary. The traveler may move ahead in a blind faith that the end of the daylight shall bring shelter, and the traveler will, indeed, find somewhere upon which they may rest their head. There is another traveler who is equally weary who governs their faith in the kindness of the universe by as clear a perception as possible of the nature of the country in which they roam. It is far easier for the faithful weary traveler to exercise faith in the midst of one of your townships than in the midst of a wilderness. However, blind faith has its lessons also, and sometimes when there is no way to judge the future so as to be a more intelligent user of faith, we recommend the attitude which allows our traveler upon his journey weary doing that which it is they must do whether or not they are in a wilderness. If a traveler departs from faith, they depart from that which is the governor of their journey. In your idiom, let us say the traveler is a man who sells items during the week and arrives at his home upon your so-called weekend. Where does faith enter this very mundane situation? The traveler is not merely selling items. He is presenting himself to each entity whom he meets. He is faithfully assuming the basic nature of goodness that lies in sympathetic resonance between himself and those to whom he sells, those to whom he comes at the end of the day and asks for shelter. Thus, you may see in the most mundane of situations that faith; that faith which is basically a simple bias towards the opinion that all within the universe is one thing, that we are all part of that one thing, and that we all may understand each other at some level as part of one thing.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the value of faith on our spiritual journeys. They began by saying Carla has no idea of what we wish to say through her this evening, and one of the things which we would like to say is that this willingness to speak without concern for the product of the speech is necessary for those who wish to serve by being vocal channels, for there are many ways to serve, and this is but one of them, but in each way that you serve, one of the keys is the same sort of relaxation into faith in the process of a kindly universe at work within your life, and just as Carla speaks without knowing the next sentence, yet because she has tuned and prayed, she opens herself with the intent to do this service, so in your service to another, the greatest efficiency may be found in relaxing into the flowing of a kind of communication from your heart and the deeper portions of your mind to your actions, for in such a way you become inspiring, so that is how you may inspire others by your lack of fear, and by your wholehearted desire to serve, as well as by the radiance which is peculiar to those who have learned the value of faith governed by a carefully tuned desire. Hatonn went on to say faith is like the traveler who is weary, and the traveler may move ahead in blind faith that the end of the daylight shall bring shelter, and the traveler will find somewhere they may rest their head, and there is another traveler who is equally weary who governs their faith in the kindness of the universe by a clear perception of the nature of the country in which they roam, so it is easier for the faithful weary traveler to exercise faith in the midst of one of your townships than in the midst of a wilderness, but blind faith has its lessons also, and sometimes when there is no way to judge the future so as to be a more intelligent user of faith, we recommend the attitude which allows our traveler upon their journey doing that which it is they must do whether or not they are in a wilderness, yet if a traveler departs from faith, they depart from that which is the governor of their journey, so let us say the traveler is a man who sells items during the week and arrives at his home upon a weekend, for the traveler is not merely selling items, for he is presenting himself to each entity whom he meets, and he is faithfully assuming the basic nature of goodness that lies in sympathetic resonance between himself and those to whom he sells, those to whom he comes at the end of the day and asks for shelter, so you may see in the most mundane of situations that faith which is a simple bias towards the opinion that all within the universe is one thing, that we are all part of that one thing, and that we all may understand each other at some level as part of one thing. On January 2, 2005, Q’uo elaborated on what faith is:

Sometimes, to be a person of faith is simply to stand firm and to remember that you are a person of faith. And to a person of faith, all is well. Right now, in the midst of seeming imperfection, all is well. What is faith? It is not faith in anything, it is simply faith, a kind of knowing that all is well. The one known as St. Paul described it as the hope in things unseen. In that moment where you wonder where your faith is, reach inward and touch your own living heart because it beats. In the sense of the world it beats, moving blood through the body and giving life to that organism. In the energetic sense, it beats the beats of eternity, and it says, “All is well. All is well and all is Love.”

Sometimes the weary traveler will lay his head upon a pillow of sod and sleep beneath the stars because sometimes faith does not produce that which one hopes or expects. It is then that faith is truly blind and truly necessary. It is in the face of apparent unkindness from the universe, from those about you, from those close to you that you may rely most heavily upon the blindness of Love. Let us look at the foundations of faith. 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 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.

From this resource springs the faith with which you greet the world, the Love which you show to the world, and the joy which you dare to manifest in a world that is all too dark with sorrow and despair. The lesson of faith is written in life-forms all about you. But it is difficult for those who casually move through an unthinking existence to be aware of this truth. Within your yearly cycle, all that seems to hold promise in tree, and flower, and bush withers and dies. The sun wanders far from you. The grass is gone, brown and dry, and ice cold strikes the very earth. Yet trees, and shrubs, and perennial flowers are not cursed with intellect, nor do they have its advantages. They never doubt that the seeds they hoard will bloom again, that the life that is within will be perfected and manifested in due time. And, yes, it happens. The trees come into leaf, the flowers give their lovely scent to the air, and you stand once again upon luxuriantly green and vibrant grasses drinking in the confirmed faith and hope and joy of tree and flower. My friends, you will be knocked completely away from joy, from faith, and from hope not once but many times. It is through this process of apparent loss, disharmony and difficulty that you learn how to Love, to seek, and to be. Rejoice, then, at your own folly, at your difficulty with others, with everything that seems to be a stumbling block. Thank it, be grateful to it, and then turn to the sweet-smelling meadow of meditation. Feel the gentle breezes of an infinite creation waft across your inner self, hearing the sound of bird, the kindliness of Love, the overpowering joy of the One infinite One. You are not alone. You are one with all that is. Spend your tears as if they were precious coins, and save the greater energy for faith, hope, compassion, Love, and joy. It is these coins that will repay you again and again no matter how many times your faith must turn blind, no matter how many wildernesses pillow your weary head.

Now Hatonn said sometimes the weary traveler will lay their head upon a pillow of sod and sleep beneath the stars because sometimes faith does not produce that which one hopes or expects, and it is then that faith is blind and necessary, and it is in the face of apparent unkindness from those about you that you may rely upon the blindness of Love, so let us look at the foundations of faith, for all that we speak of has to do with one original Thought which created all that there is, so your basic material for seeking is yourself, and if you concentrate upon your imperfections, you may find much about which you might be unhappy with yourself, and you might lose faith in the basic strength and unity of your character, so you must meditate and look within until you find that fulcrum upon which your universe will turn, that is your own identity, for you are one who seeks, and you are what you seek, yet we ask that you seek within yourself continuously until you are as often as possible in contact with the one original Thought within yourself, and you shall have faith of that which is invisible, faith in that which is infinite, but faith in that which you have examined yourself. Then Hatonn said from this resource springs the faith with which you greet the world, the Love which you show to the world, and the joy which you manifest in a world that is dark with sorrow, so the lesson of faith is written in life-forms all about you, but it is difficult for those who move through an unthinking existence to be aware of this truth, for within your yearly cycle, all that seems to hold promise in tree, flower, and bush withers and dies, and ice cold strikes the very Earth, yet trees, shrubs, and perennial flowers are not cursed with intellect, nor do they have its advantages, for they never doubt that the seeds they hoard will bloom again, and the flowers give their lovely scent to the air, and you stand once again upon green and vibrant grasses drinking in the confirmed faith and joy of tree and flower, but you will be knocked away from joy and faith not once but many times because it is through this process of apparent loss and difficulty that you learn how to Love, to seek, and to be, so rejoice at your difficulty with everything that seems to be a stumbling block, and be grateful to it, and then turn to the sweet-smelling meadow of meditation to feel the gentle breezes of an infinite creation waft across your inner self feeling the kindness of Love, the overpowering joy of the infinite One, for you are one with all that is, so spend your tears as if they were precious coins, and save the greater energy for faith, Love, and joy, for it is these coins that will repay you no matter how many times your faith must turn blind, no matter how many wildernesses pillow your weary head. On October 15, 1995, Q’uo said that we are all here to learn how to Love:

In a group such as this each is aware of the common basis of spirituality or metaphysical reality and each gives that a credence without thinking or concerning the self with such thoughts. It is taken, shall we say, for granted that the basis of the living is the spirit, and the basis for striving is to know that great truth that is the one great original Thought which is the Logos, which is Love. So, each comes to this group dwelling in Love, seeking tools and resources that will help us learn how to Love, how to accept Love, and each wishes to learn these intangible and inexpressible skills: Loving and being Loved. You see how the environment becomes charged and magical simply by the unspoken assumptions or biases which each brings to this circle.

If the instrument known as K is willing at this time, we should like to close through her as we would like to exercise her. We leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. Again we express the joy of being with you, and it is a joy to find you on your journey. This instrument has been forced many times to fall back on nothing but faith. And once you learn, my friends, that there is an inner self and an inner faith that will support you in your difficulties and confusion, then life does take on a new meaning, and you do, indeed, become a Light to those about you. You may recall that the one known as Jesus talked about a very tiny bit of faith being important, and the more one exercises faith, the more one has. And in fact, the more one exercises Love, and faith, and hope, the more one has.

The beauty and the quietness of the evening together is always a blessing to us as well as you. Therefore, we leave you this evening in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, and we rejoice with you as you go about your journey of faith. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is our privilege once again to be asked and to be able to join your group in your quest for truth. We are aware that there are many queries awaiting the asking, and it is our joyful honor and humble privilege to attempt answers to these queries which may be of some aid in your spiritual journey. We remind each present that our words are intended not as final answers, but as those signposts which point possible directions for your consideration. We would then ask each to weigh our words with the proper amount of concern and discernment so that your journey might, indeed, be decided by your own decisions.

May we at this time ask for the first query?

S: Yes, Latwii. I’m so happy to be able to talk to you. After last Sunday night’s meeting, Carla and I were debating, trying to figure out where I had missed the target with my dream analysis, and with her help it seemed that I was taking night classes, so to speak. I wanted to know first of all if you can tell me if I now have the correct analysis of the dream, and if this is correct, in reading through Book IV I came across an answer where Ra stated that a great amount of polarity work could be done doing this work at night, and I was wondering if that is what’s going on—if there’s anything I can do to improve my ability to continue in this manner?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we scan that analysis which you have determined, we discover that there is a great portion which is correct, yet we would add that each entity has many teachers which appear within what you call the dreaming state and according to the call of the one who dreams the response shall be according to the teacher which is most suited to respond. To address the second portion of your query. The efficient use of catalyst, which is another means of describing the polarization process, may be increased when the dream is recalled in the conscious state and is scrutinized for the message which lies just beyond the symbolism which adorns most dreams. To train the self to remember such dreams and messages is a task which few attempt upon your planet, yet is one which is mastered with experience. To use, then, in the conscious state the message of the dream in the same manner one would use from any consciously experienced situation is that process which shall aid in the polarization of the entity.

May we speak further upon this subject, my sister?

S: Yes. I’m bit confused, then. I seem to have interpreted it incorrectly. What I assumed it meant was that the work done during sleep was effective in polarizing. Is that incorrect?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. The work which is done during the dream has little effect upon the conscious self, the self which moves through your illusion. Unless the message of the dream is recalled by that conscious self and is worked with by that conscious self, though there is work done during the dream, the work may be viewed as the potential for polarization which resides within a deeper portion of the mind complex. To bring this potential for work to the conscious mind is that process which shall aid the conscious mind in its polarization. Most entities forget the message of the dream, and indeed the dreaming process itself. Therefore, for most upon your planet the potential for polarization lies untapped within the deeper portions of the unconscious mind. There are other processes which may be completed during dreams, such as the healing of various imbalances within an entity’s deeper mind, but the polarization process must be tapped and made available to the conscious mind for the process to be efficient.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii. I think I finally understand.

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

K: Yes, let me ask one more question about the dream. In order for my spiritual self to benefit from the dream or in order for me to become more balanced from the dream I not only have to remember it, but I have to be able to have some understanding of it and make a decision regarding the dream? I didn’t say that quite the way I wanted to. In remembering the dream, as I try to understand it, and if I think I have some understanding of this dream, then I must make a decision about it, and my life now will reflect that decision that I made about the dream. Is that correct?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To clarify this point is our intent. We shall refer to a law of your physics which states that for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In your daily life you experience the …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and greet you again in Love and Light. We shall continue. The message of your dream refers to the same experiences which you face in your daily life. The message of the dream points to certain expenditures of energy, certain actions, certain behaviors, certain distortions or imbalances which you are manifesting as a means of learning their equal and opposite, that your total journey shall be balanced in your thinking and in your actions. Therefore, to benefit most efficiently from the message of the dream, it is most helpful for the entity not only to see what the message is, but to realize that that message describes but half the learning. For if you see impatience, then also must you view patience for the learning to be seen as a whole. If you view anger, then you also must view Love. If you view rejection, then also must you view acceptance, and in your meditative state be able to see both as means for the Creator to further know Itself through your being and the various distortions which you hold within your being.

When you are able to examine your life and see those expenditures of energy in a balanced fashion, and are able to accept yourself for each distortion, and able to see each as a means of the Creator knowing Itself, and of knowing yourself, and of you knowing the Creator, then you shall find that balance within your being that allows the pure white Love/Light of the one Creator which is your source of being, and which enters your being as a crystal. Then you shall allow that white Light to remain white as it passes through the jewel of your being. As you notice distortions in your daily life, and have them pointed out to you through your dreams, you see in effect how the white light is refracted and broken into colors as it passes through your being. That it should remain white is the goal, in one way of speaking, as you learn the lessons of Love and acceptance of all.

K asked: “In remembering the dream, as I try to understand it, and if I think I have some understanding of this dream, then I must make a decision about it, and my life now will reflect that decision that I made about the dream. Is that correct?” Latwii began by saying the message of your dream refers to the same experiences which you face in your daily life, and it points to certain expenditures of energy and certain distortions or imbalances which you are manifesting as a means of learning their equal and opposite, that your total journey shall be balanced in your thinking and in your actions, and to benefit most efficiently from the message of the dream, it is helpful for the entity not only to see what the message is, but to realize that the message describes but half the learning, for if you see impatience, then also must you view patience for the learning to be seen as a whole, and if you view anger, then you also must view Love, so if you view rejection, then also must you view acceptance, and in your meditative state be able to see both as means for the Creator to further know Itself through your being and the various distortions which you hold within your being. Latwii continued by saying when you are able to see those expenditures of energy in a balanced fashion, and are able to accept yourself for each distortion, and able to see each as a means of the Creator knowing Itself, and of knowing yourself, and of you knowing the Creator, then you shall find that balance within your being that allows the pure white Love/Light of the one Creator which is your Source of being which enters your being as a crystal, so then you shall allow that white Light to remain white as it passes through the jewel of your being, so as you notice distortions in your daily life, and have them pointed out to you through your dreams, you see in effect how the white Light is refracted and broken into colors as it passes through your being. That it should remain white is the goal, in one way of speaking, as you learn the lessons of Love and acceptance of all. On December 13, 1981, Latwii described the purpose of dreams:

Within your dream state you may also notice that there is a great variety of experiences available here as well. Indeed, the number and types of experiences to be had during the dream state is quite infinite. As you have yourself noted in your query, there might be certain activities in the dream state which are used much as the activities in your waking state are used, that is, for the learning of a specific lesson. We might say that among your people it has been noted by most that the dreams are only dreams. We might say in this regard that those activities which are called dreams by your people might, in one respect, be looked upon as being more, shall we say, real than that activity which occurs during waking hours, for within the dream state the mind is more freed from the limitations of your third density physical illusion and may pursue those lessons of the mind/body/spirit complex which the entity has incarnated to learn, with more fluidity, with a greater freedom, with a perception of that which is limitless, and might more efficiently learn those lessons which have been programmed before this incarnation.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, thank you very much. One other question. I was in a meeting. I saw a meeting advertised in the paper about one, about someone speaking on healing energies, and since I had read this book and been to the conference, I was interested, so I just went, since it was announced publicly. And the woman who spoke made a comment that I didn’t understand because it was a meeting of my first time, and I didn’t know anybody there, I wasn’t about to ask anybody a question. But she made the comment during the course of the evening that several in the group were surrounded by a white Light, so nothing could hurt them, and so they could feel nothing. And that really stumped me. I didn’t understand it at all. Would you comment on that? In the first place, I don’t know how she saw the white Light, if she did, and I did not understand the meaning. Could you comment on it? If not, I’ll certainly understand.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We may comment and shall attempt to clarify, if possible, this entity’s statement. We remind you, my sister, that each entity such as the one which you describe will view such occurrences with the distortions which are native to that entity’s being. We may suggest that the viewing of such white Light surrounding other selves may be the result of many and various causes. For example, this group at the end of its meeting sends the healing Love and Light to those known in need of such. If one able to view what may be called auric energies were to look at the entities receiving such healing energies, this entity would see a white Light surrounding the recipient. For a certain period of time, then, the recipient would be surrounded by what would be perceived as a protective shield of Love and Light.

Another possible cause of such white Light surrounding an entity might be that the entity itself has in some fashion invoked such protective white Light from  those you may call guides, or guardians, or other angelic presences. Perhaps prayer has been used to seek the aid of such presences, and the prayers have been answered. It is also possible that an entity might before the incarnation, due to previous incarnational experiences, surround the self with a certain degree of this Love/Light that a certain degree of protection might be afforded the entity so that other lessons may be learned, previous lessons having been learned without protection. There are other possible causes of such surrounding of Light for an entity, but we hope that these few will give you an idea of the variety of causes which may be responsible for an entity being surrounded for a portion of what you call time by Love/Light.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: So this Light really can serve as a protective barrier against harm of any kind. Is that right?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is basically correct, though the concept would be more precisely stated if it were named in the positive sense. For example, the white Light allows the presence of the positive or service-to-others nature of beings and experiences to coexist with it. The harmful or negative are not precisely shunned or shielded, for they do not seek coexistence in such a situation.

May we answer you, my sister?

K: No, that’s very good. Now, she also said one other thing. She said because of the very rapid pace at which we are moving into the Age of Aquarius that mental telepathy is increasing rapidly. For instance, she said if we pick up thoughts at the rate of, say, three at this point in time, perhaps in a year it would be increased to eight or ten, just by comparison, and she gave examples of having picked up other’s thoughts, and analyzed it, and found out they were not hers. She had picked them up. Would you comment on that?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is our perception that the vibration of change of the atomic structure of your illusion has indeed made the transition to what is called variously the New Age, the Age of Aquarius, or the density of Love. Due to this transfiguration of the nature of your illusion, the what are normally called paranormal experiences are much more common upon your planet at this time, for it is the density of Love and understanding in which you now reside, and it is the nature of this density to express itself through entities such as those upon your planet in a manner which utilizes the power of the mind to create, to communicate, and to become one with its environment.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that’s fine, thank you.

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

S: Yes, Latwii. Along these same lines of protection. I was sitting on the couch a couple of weeks back, and C came in to me and said, “The fire scared me,” and she seemed like she was a little bit frightened, but she has a real vivid imagination, and I didn’t pay that much attention to her. She wasn’t crying or anything. And I was walking through the dining room, and I looked down and saw that she had taken a pair of tweezers and plugged them into the light socket, one half of each tweezer in the two light sockets so that there was a full connection. The Light socket was black and there evidently had been a fire there. And when I saw it, it horrified me, you know, I couldn’t imagine her not being dead, or at least, you know, burnt or very stunned. And I said, “C, is this what you were talking about?” And she said, “Yeah.” She said, “The fire came right out of there.” And I said, “Well, did you put that in there?” And she said, “Yes,” and I said, “Well, didn’t you even get a shock, or didn’t you get burnt?” and she said, “No,” that she hadn’t felt anything, but she had left it alone because the fire came out, and the fire had frightened her. And I was wondering if maybe she had some sort of protection at that particular moment?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. This entity of which you speak, as well as many upon your planet, has the access to those guides and guardians which ceaselessly watch the entity entrusted to their care that they might be of service where possible, might guide where appropriate, and might speak in various ways in those instances in which the ear of the entity has opened. The child of which you speak at the moment in which the, as you call them, tweezers were placed in the electrical outlet was protected by its own desire to be of service, calling to its guides, as you call it, and there was the minute yet effective barrier placed between the implements called the tweezers and the entity’s fingers that the circuit was not able to be completed. Many upon your planet and, indeed, most within this dwelling at this time can remember instances in which the experience was most frightening, and, as you would call it, dangerous and life threatening, yet the entity somehow survived. The miss by the inch, the moment’s delay, the unexplainable incident—there are many ways that the guides and guardians may choose to implement protection when the entity in their care has foolishly strayed for the moment and has asked in the subconscious mind that aid be given. In this way each of you may recall such protection.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii.

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

Carla: I’ve always wondered whether the protection which I think of in terms of scripture a lot, “For He shall give His angel’s charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways,” might apply especially to children. And I wonder why that is if that is so. Is there some special quality about children that invites angelic protection, or is it simply the innocence and helplessness of the young soul that seems to protect the child? Or is it an illusion?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The passage to which you refer is, indeed, true for all those children upon your planet. The children, though, may be seen from a wider perspective as any entity which lacks the conscious sophistication necessary to provide its own protection. Thus, many, many are the children upon your planet under this protective shield. There are many ways in which an entity may pass from your illusion, and the premature passing is an event which reduces the ability of the entity to learn those lessons necessary for graduation, shall we say. Therefore, those entities who are at the heart pure in desire to learn and to serve are those which constantly call for the protection of those in whose care they have been given that they might learn those lessons which they have agreed to undertake before this incarnation. That the lessons shall proceed is the point of importance. That such entities are protected as they travel this journey is, shall we say, an aside and may be noted for its function.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: Noted, but not striven for? In other words, not a part of. I have heard people say, “Every morning when I get up, I surround myself with white Light so that I will be protected during the day.” That isn’t nearly so desirable, you’re saying, as the attempt to seek purely because that attempt carries with it its own protection, is that what you’re saying?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. You are quite correct in your analysis of our statement. To consciously attempt to protect the self in a daily ritual which focuses only upon that protection without knowing what precisely the events shall be is to focus on an aspect of the creation which is that of assuming separation and seeming difficulties instead of focusing upon the unity of all and seeking purely to know that unity as the experiences are gathered and the entity finds itself learning more and more of that unity through these experiences. The protection which is with those who seek in the positive sense is there and in special, shall we say, instances may be called upon that it might be more apparent. To call upon such protection constantly without the specific intent is, shall we say, to turn the focus slightly from the pure desire to seek the truth.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: I hope we’re not wearing you out. That intrigues me by the thought that when we say the Lord’s prayer, we say, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” which does seem to be focusing upon a protection without regard to precisely what it is we’re expecting. Of course, at that point we are petitioning Christ consciousness or our higher self or whatever we perceive as the Creator to aid us. Comments?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Please forgive our pause. We were unsure whether your query was complete. We can comment by noting that the intent as this group begins its meditation for the use of the Lord’s prayer is the tuning which we have strongly suggested. Therefore, we see the appropriate use in this instance.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: I’ll leave it for now. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister, though we feel you have further queries residing within your mind.

Carla: You’re right, but I’m concerned about the weariness of the instrument, who I know has had a long day.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister, for your concern. We find the energy available for another query or perhaps two. May we then ask at this time if there would be another query?

K: Yes. Right along the same line, I read someplace in the last year or so that we should surround our loved ones in our meditations when we do our meditating or when we’re doing our praying, we should surround our loved ones with Love and Light for protection and even the automobiles they drive and everything they own, that we could protect our loved ones and their possession by surrounding them with Love and Light. Now I have to confess that sounds a little far-fetched to me, but I thought if it had validity, I might try it. Would you comment on that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To surround those near and dear with the protective Love/Light of the one Creator is, indeed a means of providing protection and healing energies to such entities. We have attempted this evening to make a slight distinction in the use of this protective energy, that is, that it be used with a specific intent in mind, that some service might be rendered because of its use. We have attempted to discern a slight difference in attitude that accompanies the, shall we say, overuse of this protective process from the specific use which attempts to verify and reaffirm the unity of all creation. To use such a protective device, shall we say, without regard to any specific purpose is to make a slight distinction in the attitude or in the configuration of mind which then perceives danger and division within the one creation. That there are difficulties for each entity cannot be doubted. Yet are these difficulties not also a portion of the one Creator and of the self, and are they not experienced so that lessons might be learned from their experience having to do with Love, Light and unity, the acceptance of all, the forgiveness of all, and the understanding of all as Love, as the one Creator? Therefore, all protection is within the realm of unity. To use it in a specific situation in order that the learning or the experience or the service of the one Creator might be accelerated because of that specific experience is less a distortion of that unity than is the constant and unspecific use of protection which begins to see the universe as a dangerous and divided place in some respects.

K asked: “I read someplace in the last year or so that we should surround our loved ones in our meditations when we do our meditating or when we’re doing our praying, we should surround our loved ones with Love and Light for protection and even the automobiles they drive and everything they own, that we could protect our loved ones and their possession by surrounding them with Love and Light. Now I have to confess that sounds a little far-fetched to me, but I thought if it had validity, I might try it. Would you comment on that?” Latwii said to surround those near and dear with the protective Love/Light of the one Creator is a means of providing protection and healing energies to such entities, and we have attempted to make a distinction in the use of this protective energy, so that it is used with a specific intention in mind, that some service might be rendered because of its use, and we have attempted to describe a difference in attitude that accompanies the overuse of this protective process from the specific use which attempts to reaffirm the unity of all creation, but to use such a protective device without regard to its purpose is to make a distinction in the configuration of mind which perceives danger within the one creation, so that there are difficulties for each entity cannot be doubted, yet these difficulties are a portion of the one Creator and of the self, and they are experienced so that lessons might be learned from their experience having to do with the acceptance of all, the forgiveness of all, and the understanding of all as Love, as the one Creator, for all protection is within the realm of unity, and to use it in a specific situation in order that the learning, or the experience, or the service of the one Creator might be accelerated because of that specific experience is less a distortion of that unity than is the constant and unspecific use of protection which begins to see the universe as a dangerous place in some respects. On November 25, 2023, Q’uo spoke about the positive nature of difficulties:

We feel that the best response that we might make to this particular query is one to suggest that, though the intentions are well meant in the administration of various drugs for both people and pets in order to make the transition easier, shall we say, or pain free, that it is usually more the case that there is more support and Love that is helpful in the simple praising of the ability of the transition to occur in knowing that the entity making the transition is moving out of the third-density illusion into an area where there is no veil of forgetting. And the experience is much like going home, shall we say. This is something that they have momentary difficulties, and yet, these difficulties are a part of that path back into the existence of the entities within the truer home, that is within the inner planes of your planet.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, I think I understand that. Thank you very much.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. Is there a final query for the evening?

S: Well, Latwii, just briefly. I have a lot of people that I’m concerned about, so I send a lot of Love and Light out to these people, some of which I don’t even know, but I just send it because I know there are people that are hungry, or are in pain, or are unhappy. I don’t necessarily send it as a protective device, but just so they’ll have some Love and Light there. In this instance would the same thing be accomplished if I were just to send the planet in general this Love and Light or would that be too general? Do I need to be more specific?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Now we move into yet another area in which service may be rendered from what you may call the distance. In this respect, the sending of Love and Light to be used by the entity in need is an action which is most helpful to the entity which faces the difficulty. In this regard the distortion from unity is much, much less than the previous cases which we have attempted to clarify, for as you send the Love and Light to another, it is the recipient’s decision, shall we say, as to how this Love and Light shall be used. The deeper portions of the mind are those portions most closely aligned with all that you know as the creation, and these portions of the mind may call upon any portion of the one creation for assistance.

When the recipient of your Love and Light decides deep within its being to call for some type of assistance, then there is that which you have sent that is most easily called upon, for it is sent within the recipient’s apparent illusion, and those deeper resources and portions of the deep mind then can use your gift as well as other gifts, shall we say, of the one Creator that await the calling and await the desire for unity to be expressed within the recipient’s being in a more refined manner which may be seen as the healing.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii.

I am Latwii, and we are most grateful to you, my sister. We find at this time, as you would call it, that we have used this instrument up to the point which we feel is appropriate. The weariness begins to overtake this instrument, and the focus is not quite precise with the attention. Therefore, we would thank this group for allowing us to speak our humble words and for allowing us to attempt to answer those queries which have meaning to each. We remind each, that we are but your humble brothers and sisters, quite fallible, and most hopeful of serving even in our fallibility. We remind each also that a simple request for our presence in your meditations is all that is necessary for us to join you there. We are always with you. We would leave this group at this time, rejoicing with each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creators. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being across the river and into the rural area where I released the ninth raccoon that was caught in my HavaHart trap this morning. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed. My third stop was at Pauls’ Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My fourth stop was at AutoZone where I bought two 50:1, 2-cycle engine oil. My fifth stop was at Speedway where I filled my 5-gal. gas can with regular gasoline. My last stop was at Walgreen’s where I dropped off a prescription to be refilled and bought some Kleenexes.

This afternoon the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Every transition is for the glory of God and for the development of our individual Soul. Those of us who are approaching the middle years, and beyond the middle years must learn to ask God: “What have you for me to do now?” Then, just as the flower blooms fades, and then blooms again, so do old experiences give way to new ones. We pass through many transitional experiences, but death is never a part of any of these experiences.

Sooner or later, everyone on the spiritual path reaches the place in their development where they realize that as one state of consciousness is exchanged for another in the progress from birth to death, so the experience of what is termed death is merely another transition in the ongoingness of life. Death is our interpretation of what we are witnessing; but those who have caught the first tiny glimpse of God understand that God is life eternal, life without beginning and without end, “for God is thy life, and the length of thy days.” This vision can only come to those who have risen above the selfish desire to hold themselves and others in bondage to a familiar form. The worm must emerge from its cocoon in order to become a butterfly. Everyone and everything pass through transitional stages, but through spiritual evolution and development, each one ultimately finds themself sitting at the foot of the Throne of God, returned to God’s House.

This does not mean the immortality of the Soul and the death of the body as it is usually understood. The body will die daily: the fingernails and hair are cut off and grown again; the skin sloughs off; the cells in the body are constantly changing; and yet despite these changes the consciousness which is our true identity remains. Our training from infancy has instilled in us the idea that the body which we see in the mirror, or of which we are conscious is I. We have identified the body as ourselves; whereas the body is an instrument for our use, just as an automobile is a vehicle which we use to transport us from one place to another. At no time are we identified with or as our automobile . We are always separate and apart from the automobile, but we utilize it as a means of locomotion. The automobile is no more “I” than the body is “I,” because “I” is consciousness.”

This afternoon Dianne and I visited Connie in her room at Providence Care Home in southern Indiana. We brought Connie some organic bananas and some chocolate/peanut butter candies. I also shared a few quotes from Carla’s Autobiography with Connie and Dianne. And I shared some pictures and videos of my new kitten, Mystical Joy which caused Connie to break out laughing. Then we talked for a while to share what we have been doing since we saw each other last month. Then we meditated before leaving and letting Connie know that we love her, and we will see her again next month.

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

February 21

The Key

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

We who dwell in Love ask that this day be a day of forgiveness.

In each situation betwixt two entities there is the constant opportunity for miscommunication, misunderstanding and hard feelings.

In every situation where one must wait in traffic or in your stores, there lie many, many opportunities for the forgiveness of rudeness in others and that same impulse in yourself.

Make this a day when there is nothing so terrible that it cannot be forgiven in your heart. Allow your heart to be made soft. For forgiveness, given again and again and again, is the key to the full realization of the Love of Christ.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from May 22, 1983:

(S channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet you this evening, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are pleased that you have invited us to your group this evening. As always, we are happy to be able to share in the Love and in the Light that emanates from this group. We are, as always, pleased to know that there are groups such as yours that join together and together help each other to find the way to the Light, and are able to help each other as each seeks to find the truth that is all, that is one. For though you look at each other as separate entities, from where we are as we look down upon your planet, we see not this individualism. We see a group of entities that are blended together as one, for thy Light shines continuous. It does not look to us as an evening sky filled with separate twinkling stars; it appears to us as a soft warm glow that reaches from one end of your planet to the other. It is whole, it is continuous, and we are happy to be able to share that warm glow with you as we come to help you in our small way. We are always happy to spend time with you and look forward to your invitations.

We would transfer this contact at this time. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. We would like to exercise this instrument for a few moments tonight. Again, it is a joy to be with you. In her imagination during the tuning tonight this instrument saw herself floating joyfully and almost carelessly among the stars. She found it a very delightful experience, and, my friends, you can visit the stars any time you wish. It will be very helpful to the frayed nerves, healing to the mind and the body. It even provides growth for the soul. As one takes a long look at life, it is unnecessary to be so totally involved in the day-to-day happenings, and yet it is the nature of the people who walk your planet. Again, we repeat, it need not be so.

We appreciate the opportunity of exercising this instrument, and will now leave this instrument. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you now through this instrument once again in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We are aware that as you are interested in how we see you, in order that you may see yourselves more clearly, so you wish to know how we see ourselves because you think that an understanding of that which is to come in your future development as portions of the one consciousness will aid you in your present development. There are reasons why information about what you call the fourth density which we inhabit is of limited use and the most cogent reason is the stricture of language itself. Your language was designed to express your illusion. The language of our illusion is conceptual and has no grammar. There are few of your planet’s languages where this is remotely applicable. For the most part, we do not speak but use the mechanism of thought transfer which we use to convey images to this instrument. In this case, we are sending a very strong signal, and the instrument has an adequate receiver. In the case of two fourth-density entities, the harmonics of tuning are such that a subtlety which we cannot express in any terms but those of capacitance and inductance are achieved. There is a oneness in our communication which belies the separateness of our physical vehicles to the extent that it is our subjective reality to be one. There is no possibility of disguising, distorting, or hiding our concepts, one from another or one from  an other self.

Although in your illusion it seems almost impossible to comprehend, when this situation prevails, true anger, misunderstanding or resentment is quite impossible. It does not take imagination to wear another’s shoes, as this entity would say; we do wear each other’s shoes all of our experiential time together. Nor is there a parting when the physical bodies move along divergent courses. There is still a great deal of variety amongst a fourth-density population such as those of Hatonn. Therefore, we choose those with whom we live our lives, as you would put it. As the entire population learns through incarnational experience to refine energy transfers of green and blue ray, as this instrument would express it, we finally become one. We no longer have sharply differentiated groups. We have begun to learn the lessons of wisdom, that is, to be single-minded and glad of heart. At that point we may be said to be a functioning social memory complex, though one in its comparative infancy according to our own teachers.

In this session Hatonn wanted to answer our question about how Hatonn saw themselves. They began by saying we are aware that as you are interested in how we see you, in order that you may see yourselves more clearly, so you wish to know how we see ourselves because you think that an understanding of that which is to come in your future development as portions of the one consciousness will aid you in your present development, and there are reasons why information about the fourth density which we inhabit is of limited use, and the reason is the limitation of language itself, for your language was designed to express your illusion, but the language of our illusion is conceptual and has no grammar, and there are few of your planet’s languages where this is applicable, so we do not speak but use the mechanism of thought transfer to convey images to Carla, and in this case, we are sending a strong signal, and she has an adequate receiver, but in the case of two fourth-density entities, the harmonics of tuning are such that a subtlety which we cannot express in any terms but those with the ability to store an electric charge are achieved, and there is a oneness in our communication which betrays the separateness of our physical vehicles to the extent that it is our subjective reality to be one, so there is no possibility of hiding our concepts, one from another self. Hatonn went on to say in your illusion it seems impossible to comprehend that true anger is quite impossible, and it does not take imagination to wear another’s shoes, but we do wear each other’s shoes all of our time together, nor is there a parting when the physical bodies move along divergent courses, for there is variety amongst a fourth-density population, and we choose those with whom we live our lives, so as the entire population learns through incarnational experience to refine energy transfers of green and blue ray we become one because we have begun to learn the lessons of Wisdom, to be single-minded and glad of heart, and at that point we are a social memory complex, though one in its comparative infancy according to our own teachers. In 16.50, Ra mentioned how fourth-density entities use thought transfer to communicate with each other:

That which fourth density is not: it is not of words, unless chosen. It is not of heavy chemical vehicles for body complex activities. It is not of disharmony within self. It is not of disharmony within people. It is not within limits of possibility to cause disharmony in any way. Approximations of positive statements: it is a plane of a type of bipedal vehicle which is much denser and more full of life; it is a plane wherein one is aware of the thoughts of other-selves; it is a plane where one is aware of the vibrations of other-selves.

You will notice that although we are aware that you are curious as to how we live, we have not discussed mating, families, politics, business, or other facets of what you now experience as necessary portions of the illusion. These portions of your illusion pertain to the unblocking of those energy centers which keep you from learning the lessons of Love. On a personal or individual level, you block your learning when you become overly possessive, concerned, anxious, or jealous of another. Among your people, that which you call Love often has the expectation of this very blockage called possession. We suggest to you that in your exploration of the true meaning of this terribly overused word, you attempt to discover how to Love completely. By this, we mean how to set a beloved one free: free to fall down, free to make errors, free to choose another, free to come or to go, free in trust, in sacredness, and in honor. Should you do this with your mate and your friend, those whom you Love shall be blessed, and you shall find what it is to Love. There is much of a blocked nature amongst your people in the areas of the individual interacting with the group. The position for which one is paid, the team for which one fights, whether it be game or war, the ceaseless blockage of the other self as one who may be taken advantage of, manipulated or used. These blockages are those which are yours who work upon the lessons connected with removing the obstacles to seeking Love. In the personal relationship you learn to Love one other self. Through that learning it becomes clear that you are Loving yourself.

In the interaction with groups, you gain an even larger prospective. Your vantage point has grown, you have identified yourself with one group, and you must now see the other groups as yourself. The entity who gazes upon a seeming enemy and sees the Creator has granted freedom to the part of creation upon which he gazes. Indeed, Love and freedom walk hand in hand. You may ask yourself many times how you can possibly, for even a brief period of time, Love to the extent that the illusion is penetrated, and all other selves become one with you and one with the Creator. But we assure you that it is within the grasp of each seeker acting imperfectly, foolishly, haphazardly, and oftentimes at odds with itself to still manifest that which they seek, for to the seeker is given a great gift. To the seeker is given the power that is the power of the seeking itself. And though you are weary, or foolish, or hopeless, or confused, or alone, yet you have the seeking within you, and it becomes your birthright. It becomes your inheritance, and it will manifest within your experience one way or another to the extent that you continue to seek. We do most heartily encourage you in that great process of evolution. We are on the same path. We have worked with the blockages which now concern you. We work now with the refining of Love into Wisdom. We have a great deal to learn. We have an infinite amount of time, space, and illusion in which to learn. We wish you the joy of your journey and reach our hands out to you as fellow travelers.

Hatonn went on to say although we are aware that you are curious as to how we live, we have not discussed mating, families, politics, business, or other facets of what you experience as necessary portions of the illusion, and these portions of your illusion pertain to unblocking those energy centers which keep you from learning the lessons of Love, and on a personal level, you block your learning when you become overly concerned about another, for among your people, Love often has the expectation of this very blockage called possession, so we suggest to you that you attempt to discover how to Love completely, so we mean how to set a beloved one free to make errors, free in trust, and in sacredness, so if you do this with your mate and your friend, those whom you Love shall be blessed, and you shall find what it is to Love, for there is much of a blocked nature among your people in the areas of the individual interacting with the group, and these blockages are those which are yours who work upon the lessons connected with removing the obstacles to seeking Love, yet in the personal relationship you learn to Love one other self, and through that learning it is clear that you are Loving yourself. Hatonn continued by saying in the interaction with groups, you gain a larger prospective, and you have identified yourself with one group, and you must now see the other groups as yourself, so the entity who gazes upon a seeming enemy and sees the Creator has granted freedom to the part of creation upon which they gaze, for Love and freedom walk hand in hand, but you may ask yourself how you can Love to the extent that the illusion is penetrated, and all other selves become one with you and one with the Creator, but we assure you that it is within the grasp of each seeker acting imperfectly to manifest that which they seek, for to the seeker is given the power of the seeking itself, and though you are foolish, confused, or alone, yet you have the seeking within you, and it becomes your birthright, and it will manifest within your experience one way or another to the extent that you continue to seek, so we encourage you in that process of evolution, for we are on the same path, and we have worked with the blockages which now concern you, to work with the refining of Love into Wisdom, and we have a great deal to learn, but we have an infinite amount of time, space, and illusion in which to learn, so we wish you the joy of your journey and reach our hands out to you as fellow travelers. On August 12, 1984, Oxal spoke of how Wisdom is refined into Love:

Let us look at perfect compassion. Let us look at a perfectly smoothly running, perfectly timed universe. Perfect compassion, which we call Love, for want of a better word, is power. It is power that has been so disciplined, guided, and considered that all things work together in harmony. That which powers the universe is not understood. That which powers the universe is Love. Wisdom is the vibration which Love uses. It is the material the artist uses to create experience for those who are conscious. Therefore, as you wish to learn the one original Thought, so you wish to learn all that there is. Wisdom is the refining of Love.

We are known to you as Hatonn. We leave you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in Love and Light. We are privileged once again to be asked to join your group. We feel a great honor each time that we are able to blend our vibrations with yours, the mutual seeking of truth. Our humble service is one which we offer in great joy, for as we are able to be of service to you, we are serving the one Creator. May we then begin by asking for the first query?

S: Yes, Latwii. Last night at our meeting we had some problems where you had to leave us somewhat unexpectedly. You stated that I was having some problem with my physical vehicle, and all that I noticed was that my eye was watering, and I had become confused over forgetting part of a question that had been asked, and I tried to not worry about it and just relax and try to pick up what you were sending me, but I was somewhat distracted. And also, R was concerned that maybe he had inadvertently asked a question that was maybe too specific in nature, and, therefore, we were a little confused as to the reason for you closing the meeting, so to speak. Can you make any comment on this?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. To begin, as we were using your instrument during the meeting which you have spoken of, we were aware that the portion of your own being which we utilize in each transmission had become somewhat unsteady due to your concern over the portion of the query which had not penetrated through to our perception. This produced within your conscious experience but a slight amount of distortion, for you were attempting to retain the contact in a steady and stable manner using the relaxation that you have spoken of. The deeper ramifications of this difficulty which you experienced were of a profound enough nature at that time that we felt it appropriate to end the contact so that there would not be the unbalancing of your deeper mind complex which had been attempting, as you call it, even more precisely by calling upon deeper levels of not only relaxation but meditation, and meditation approaching the trance state.

Your great desire to channel even more precisely was in this case not as helpful as it might be in most other cases. The intensity of interest which your new group has generated has been matched by your own desire to precisely reflect those concepts given to you by those of the Confederation, and in this instance where you were not able to, shall we say, live up to your own standards, then your response on the conscious level to relax was intensified upon the subconscious level so that the imminence of trance caused us to seek the end to the meeting since the proper protection for that type of contact was not available.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Yes. If this should occur again, can you give me any advice as to what to do? Did I try to relax too much or should I … What can you tell me about how to protect myself and what to do if it should occur again?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In the event that such a situation should repeat itself, we can only suggest that your attempt at relaxation carry with it the boundary beyond which you do not seek to pass, that is, consciously seek, then, the relaxation that will allow the concepts to flow smoothly through your instrument, but also consciously see, if you will, in your mind the boundary betwixt the deeper states of relaxation and meditation and trance. Then you will have imaged within your being the field within which you may safely roam.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, thank you, Latwii. You’ve been very helpful.

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

Carla: Well, I’m curious about the whole subject of trance because I don’t understand how it works myself. But before I ask that question which you can just tell me that you can’t answer if you want to, I was just wondering if it would help S if there were another channel in the group or if part of the strain is in basically working without a net, that there is no one else who channels in the group?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is the decision of the one known as S to proceed as she has proceeded, that is, to be of service to those who have interest in this type of experience. This is a more, shall we say, daring type of service when there is not present another instrument which can serve as the, shall we say, backup or as you have described it, the net. This type of service allows a quicker type of progression in the service of vocal channeling, for …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii and shall continue through this instrument. It is well known to the one proceeding in the singular fashion that it shall bear the entire weight of the service of vocal channeling. Thus, the progress and opportunity for progress is greater. Also of a greater nature is the opportunity for the difficulty which will remain the mystery until queries can be asked of another instrument. This is not usually a great difficulty, but it can provide the frustration and puzzlement as has been witnessed by the group which met upon the evening past.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, if you think that it’s in my interest. I’m curious about what you said about trance because I’ve always wondered from the very first Ra contact just exactly what happens to me. Because as far as—when I go into trance—because as far as my own recollection is concerned, I am only going to sleep. But if it is a protection for me not to know, then I would prefer the protection.

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister and can respond in a general fashion since there is some necessity for the complete understanding to remain the mystery for the present. The seeking which you have pursued throughout this incarnation has been of an intense nature, and it has not included the preparations for what is called the trance state by any form of working, or ritual, or any training of a specific nature. The purity of your seeking and the intensity of your seeking has, shall we say, filtered to the deeper portions of your mind and allowed those portions to respond in a manner which has as its product the service which you offer in the trance state. This, of course, has been determined in a general fashion by your own decision and the agreements with others before this incarnation began.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Apparently not, thank you.

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

Carla: Yes, Latwii, I’ve got a whole bunch of stuff in my mind that I’d like to have an answer to, but let me see if I could ask a simple question. Since I went to Chicago, and I was in that symposium for two days with some very, shall we say, unusual people—at least I thought they were—my mind seems to have been bombarded almost with—this is where I’m at a loss for words—things of the mystical nature as we think of mystical, I guess is the best way to say it. Is this the result of my going to the symposium or is there just—is almost everyone who has any ability to perceive bombarded with these unusual experiences?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Among your people there is the saying, “When it rains, it pours.” You may look upon the experience which has recently passed and those which have followed it as the products of the, shall we say, opening of a door within your mind which has allowed certain opportunities to be noticed. Such opportunities are always available to any seeker. It is necessary to make way for the opportunities to be noticed. You may see your recent experiences as the result of your own choice at a deeper level of your being to make way for new experiences, that you may discover more and more the mystery of your own being, the nature of the illusion which you inhabit, and the means by which you may progress through this illusion. Therefore, you have created the opening for opportunities to be noticed, and you have noticed them.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, that answers it very well. Now, right along the same line let me ask another question. When I reviewed this book, this little autobiography of Dean Kraft, The Portrait of a Psychic Healer, I did it with trepidation because of the, well, I don’t know whether it’s proper to use a closed mind, but I really questioned whether I should review this book for these women. But I got a response that really surprised me. Now, my question is this. Were those women seeking or—I’m assuming they were seeking that information, and I was the one who had the fear. They were really seeking, themselves. Is that right?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. You are correct when you assume that these entities were seeking that which you had to offer, else there would not have been the opportunity or the offering to join with the seeking. Your own hesitancy, and, shall we say, fear of presenting this particular information may be looked at as likened to the whetstone which sharpens the knife so that it may serve as an useful tool. The fear served to hone your ability to present this material in a manner which cut away that sharing which would be less than optimal, and left that which would be helpful to these entities.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Well. How about that! Then that explains—maybe that’s the explanation for this. We ordinarily have about an hour for the book review, and three of the women were delayed about thirty minutes, which left me thirty minutes, and I had planned for an hour’s review, and so I sat there and wondered what in the world I would do—how I would refine it to thirty minutes. Was that all planned? Or at least did it serve a purpose for me to have to refine that to thirty minutes?

I am Latwii, and we may respond in the affirmative, my sister. That indeed there are such plans which make themselves known only after they have been carried out.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Well, no, that answers that bit because I sure did get squirmy when I wondered what I was going to do. No—thank you very much.

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

M: Well, I would like a little help, Latwii. I’m going to have to give a talk on Paul, and I was wondering if you could give me some insight?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that the information which we may share is again of the general nature, for to speak specifically of that which you would use in a future, as you would call it, time is to guide your actions to a point which we view as an infringement, for even the smallest type of information which is then used in a, shall we say, verbatim nature is not that which we wish to offer.

We can, though, speak upon this manner of sharing your being with other selves by suggesting that when you speak to those who seek from you any type of guidance, inspiration, or simple information, that you share in a manner which reflects your true self and inner being, and, that is to say, when speaking upon any subject, it is most helpful to share that which you truly feel about the subject, to share, if possible, in a way which reflects the nature of your being. For in any type of speaking or sharing with others, this is in effect what you do. To attempt to do this upon the conscious level of your being is to refine that sharing as much as is possible for you to do. It is not only the information which you share which is sought from those with whom you share, but it is also upon the deeper levels of their own being and seeking that the call is given forth to know that being who shares with them. Therefore, to give of yourself in a manner which clearly reflects your nature is most helpful and will serve to illustrate and make a more richly enjoyed experience for all those with whom you share.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, thank you.

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

S: Yes, Latwii. I was talking earlier about a dream I had this week that didn’t seem to fit the mold of being one to awaken me to blockages. It seemed important to me at the time. I wondered if you can comment on this. Are there dreams that really don’t mean anything, that just come into your mind for some reason? Or is this something I need to ponder further?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. In the field of the dreams, we find that there is a great range and variety available to the seeker according to the calling of the seeker at the moment. The dream of which you speak is not a dream of what you may call a random nature, though such dreams do exist, and though random are useful in themselves, but this dream was, as you have surmised, unusual in nature. Though we cannot give the specific nature of this dream, due again to our concern for your own free will, we can suggest that meditation upon the deeper ramifications might be useful. That you have remembered this particular dream is significant, for it is not, as you have noted, your nature to remember the dreams of the night.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: Would you correct me if I’m wrong? What I’m assuming then is that I have possibly incorrectly discerned the meaning of this dream, and I need to look at the dream more symbolically and kind of look deeper into it. Is that what you’re saying?

Latwii: I am Latwii, and this is in general our suggestion, though we would emphasize the aspect of looking deeper for those portions of the symbolism which have yet to be noticed.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, you’ve been very helpful. Thank you, Latwii.

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

K: Yes, Latwii, let me ask another question along this line of dreams. I have just recently read the book, Memoirs and—oh, I forgot the exact title—of Carl Jung. It’s almost like an autobiography in the sense it is an autobiography of his life, and his dreams were so vivid, and they guided his life and his therapy. Were these dreams given to him for the benefit of mankind or were they just a revelation of himself. Was it self-discovery?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that both assumptions which you have made are correct. It is possible for any entity which seeks to utilize the dreaming faculty to utilize this faculty with the same vividness of experience which the one known as Jung was able to utilize. As the seeker becomes aware that work in the evolution of mind, body and spirit may be accomplished while sleeping, shall we say, and is made aware that the messages obtained from this dreaming activity are useful in the activating and balancing of energy centers, then the process becomes, shall we say, self-generating, and more information becomes available to the conscious mind from the unconscious mind as the two begin to function with a sympathetic resonance, shall we say.

The continued seeking by the conscious self creates an opening in what you have called the veil which separates the conscious from the unconscious mind, and through this opening, then, the symbols and images and messages from the unconscious are made available to the seeker in the form of dreams, and also in the form of what you may call the intuition or flashes of intuition and inspiration which occasionally lighten and brighten the conscious experience. This entity also had determined before its incarnation to be of service in the general manner in which it finally was of service, that is, to provide its other selves with an avenue to the unconscious mind that those great resources which are a portion of each entity might be made more available to each seeker, and, therefore, the path to the one Creator might be widened just a bit more through this entity’s efforts.

K asked: “I have just recently read the book, Memoirs and—oh, I forgot the exact title—of Carl Jung. It’s almost like an autobiography in the sense it is an autobiography of his life, and his dreams were so vivid, and they guided his life and his therapy. Were these dreams given to him for the benefit of mankind or were they just a revelation of himself. Was it self-discovery?” Latwii began by saying we find that both assumptions which you have made are correct, for it is possible for any entity which seeks to utilize dreams with the same vividness of experience which Jung was able to utilize, so as the seeker becomes aware that work in the evolution of mind, body, and spirit may be accomplished while sleeping, and it is made aware that the messages obtained from dreaming are useful in the activating and balancing of the energy centers, then the process becomes self-generating, and more information becomes available to the conscious mind from the unconscious mind as the two begin to function with a sympathetic resonance. Latwii went on to say the continued seeking by the conscious self creates an opening in the veil which separates the conscious from the unconscious mind, and through this opening the images and messages from the unconscious are made available to the seeker in the form of dreams, and also in the form of intuition and inspiration which occasionally brighten the conscious experience, so this entity had determined before its incarnation to be of service in the way in which it was of service to provide its other selves with an avenue to the unconscious mind that those resources which are a portion of each entity might be made more available to each seeker, and the path to the Creator might be widened through this entity’s efforts. In 95.18, Ra described the role of our unconscious mind in working with dreams:

Questioner: Thank you. A question has been asked which I’ll ask at this time. In processing the catalyst of dreams is there a universal language of the unconscious mind which may be used to interpret the meaning of dreams? Or does each entity have a unique language of its unconscious mind which it may use to interpret the meaning of dreams?

I am Ra. There is what might be called a partial vocabulary of the dreams due to the common heritage of all mind/body/spirit complexes. Due to each entity’s unique incarnational experiences, there is an overlay which grows to be a larger and larger proportion of the dream vocabulary as the entity gains experience.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Yes, that was very good. I have thought for a long time that Carl Jung was a sort of forerunner, shall we say, of the raising of the consciousness that we’re even experiencing now. Is that a fair assumption?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. As the planetary and racial consciousness factors continue to, shall we say, proceed in evolution, the needs and requirements of humanity in general also are transformed so that with each age there is a certain vibrational seeking which is expressed by humanity as a whole. Thus, during the incarnation of the one known as Jung, there were the needs which not only he but each who incarnated attempted to meet as the other self portion of the incarnation was pursued. Thus, as each entity incarnates, the time, shall we say, or the milieu in which the incarnation shall occur is considered with two major components in the forefront, that is, how the entity may progress in its own evolution, and how it may be of service to others if that be its path during the incarnation. So, to summarize our somewhat lengthy response, may we suggest that you are correct in your assumption, and it is the great seeking at this time which has resulted in the greater awareness being expressed by humanity and the greater need for continuing this progression of awareness.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that’s very good. Just one final question about Jung. I read that after he read the Tibetan Book of the Dead, that he always kept it on his desk. And that seemed, being a Westerner or an Occidental, that always seems strange to me. Could you comment on that? Why would Jung, if he did keep the Tibetan Book of the Dead on his desk, why? What good did it do him?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The one known as Jung was concerned that those who passed through the gates of what is called the death of the physical vehicle might be aided in ways which his culture was not able to provide aid. Therefore, when those of his immediate circle were gathered about to discuss the concerns of their own seeking, often the conversation would turn toward the great mystery which followed the process of death. This entity sought to aid such other selves in a manner which he felt was of service and of the greatest service possible. Therefore, he kept many references to that transition called death at close hand so that he might share the best of the research which he had found with those who had gathered to do likewise. This book, then, was one of many which had been placed close at hand for his ready reference.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: No, that was very good, Latwii, and I thank you very much.

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

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that we have exhausted the queries for the evening, and we are most grateful for the opportunity of sharing our humble perceptions with you, and we remind each that we are but humble seekers of truth and are quite fallible. Therefore, take that which has meaning to you, and leave that which has none. We are always with you, my friends, and again we remind each that it would be our great honor to join you in your meditations should you but request our presence. At this time, then, we shall take our leave of this group, but in truth we shall always be with you. We are those of Latwii, and we leave you now in Love and Light. Rejoice in the power, the peace and the joy and the mystery of the one infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Immortality is the realization of our true identity as a God-being, an identity without beginning and without end, eternal and everlasting: It is a recognition of God as the Father and God as the Son. To those on the spiritual path, this is not a new idea. It is the foundation stone upon which rests every great spiritual teaching known to humanity. But the essence of this teaching has been buried in the prevalent concepts of immortality as a Methuselah-plus existence in this world or as an eternal existence of bliss after death. The first is merely a gilded notion of longevity. The second is based upon the faulty premise that death is a part of God’s creation, whereas the Master clearly stated, “The last enemy that shall be overcome is death.”

It is true that, at some time or other, we all pass from human sight. Each, in their own time, will leave this plane of consciousness. Those who have no knowledge of God and their relationship to God may be forced out of their bodies by disease, accident, or old age, but those with a right understanding of God will make the transition without struggle, pain, or infirmity. All eventually will leave this plane.

“In my Father’s house are many mansions.” We pass from infancy to childhood, childhood to adolescence, and adolescence to maturity—each state of consciousness, one of Gods many mansions. Those who accept the transition from one state of consciousness to another as an activity of God, not looking back in a vain attempt to cling to states of consciousness which should have been outgrown, do not experience the infirmities of old age. Resisting the advancing years, as if they were something to be feared, produces many of the discords associated with age. Accepting the normal, natural change, which accompanies the transition from one stage of life to another, will enable us to look forward to the experience of the middle years and the advanced years with joy and confidence rather than with fear and dread.

There is no difference between the flow of God this minute or a hundred years from now. Actually, the life of God will never age or end. God has a spiritual work for each one of us, and God has given us It’s ability with which to perform it. As long as there is work for us to do on what is called this plane of existence, God will maintain us in vitality, strength, youth, health, and wholeness. In such assurance, we no longer mistake longevity for immortality. Longevity is not immortality: it is merely a continuation of the present physical sense of existence. We are not concerned with the visible span of our years of Earth but rather with the demonstration of our eternal Selfhood, forever about God’s business.”

At 9:15 this morning I was picked up by the shuttle service from Bachman Subaru, and when I got to Bachman Subaru I was given a loaner Subaru Outback because Stanley will need to remain in their shop for at least until early next week.

At 10 am this morning I was on a podcast with Ben Joseff, who lives in England. Some of the questions that he asked me were: “What was the background of how the Ra contact occurred?” “What is the value of meditation?” “How do I try to be of service now?” “How do you keep from channeling negative entities?” and “How did my frontal lobes experience occur, and what does it feel like today?”

This afternoon I went back over to my neighbor’s yard across the street, and I used Huff and Puff to blow leaves into an area where I could mulch them with Venus. But the gates to both sides of my neighbor’s back yard were too small for me to get Venus through, so I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves into two long piles. After I filled four garbage cans with the leaves and put them at the end of my driveway, I decided to wait until tomorrow morning to put the rest of the leaves into garbage cans. Then I took my largest tarp and covered the remaining pile of leaves, and then I put some of my gardening tools on both ends and both sides of the leaves.

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

February 20

Illumined From Within

I greet you in the perfect Love of Jesus the Christ. I am of the principle of that Love and am as the wind which blows the pollen of lively faith and strength to those who seek in quiet surety the boons which the consciousness of Love may offer.

The Spirit of Love has many faces. One beautiful face is the face of serenity and peacefulness, of mist upon mountaintop and cloud upon valley. In the luminescent fog of spiritual seeking, few things are clear, but all is shot through and illuminated from within.

May you trust in the internal source of Light which is the Spirit and move always in confidence, knowing that that face of the Creator, though silent, lies always with you and speaks in silence at dusk and dawn, noon and midnight.

We leave 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from May 8, 1983:

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We greet you, as always, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We come tonight in this time of rebirth of your planet when nature renews itself as another life cycle begins. As we have spoken to you before, each of you goes through a process of growth. At times the growth will be slightened or set back, as all the plants on your planet, when after a period of warmth and rain are faced with renewed cold, but the desire to continue growth is something that is within all of us and all may continue. As each setback occurs it may be learned from and overcome, for once the foot has been set upon the path, the need to continue increases. Each lesson and experience leads to an enlightening and a continuation. My friends, remember always that as you travel, there are those who will help and give what aid be needed. Travel forward with the senses open, with the heart open, to encompass that which you may meet. Be not afraid to give of yourself. Be not afraid to ask for help. You have many kindred spirits journeying with you. We of Hatonn are always willing to do what we may to aid. You need but ask and we shall join with you.

We would now like to transfer this contact to another. I am Hatonn.

(S1 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again through this instrument, my friends. We would only stay shortly with this instrument so that the one known as S2 could also have the opportunity to practice this area of his service, if he would just relax.

My friends, this day upon your planet has been indeed a most beautiful one. There are those who see only what they wish to see, and in the clouds and the coolness they see a grayness. And with the sun their spirits revive, and they once again rejoice. Are you like this, my friends? There are times when it is difficult to see the sun behind the clouds, but it is there. The beauty always remains no matter how dark the sky overhead may seem. If you look closely enough, you may be able to see more beauty than you first expected. The book may have a plain cover, but the inside carries much, much more. We urge that you be not content with seeing only the outer actions of your brothers and sisters, seeing what you may at first perceive as gray skies. Look within, my friends, within your brothers and your sisters, within yourselves. See the Light, the Love, the beauty of the creation that is within. Be not content with only the vestiges of a fine veneer. The inner core is so beautiful when perceived and accepted.

I am Hatonn, and would now transfer this contact.

(S2 channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We would continue by saying that looking for the core, and finding the inner goodness, and not seeing only the outer, which can be plain. A lot can be missed, a learning experience that could not be learned. But by perceiving what is hidden, what can be implied and learning what’s there, a most wondrous beauty can be found. For all are the Creator, and all have their part, and being a part of the Creator, thus can all be perceived.

We would at this time like to transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and again I greet you in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We shall conclude through this instrument with thanks to each who has been of service at this gathering. There is a premise which each within this group shares which calls us to you and calls you together. That premise is that you as an entity are unfinished. If you were finished, the metaphors we use of journeys, seeking and learning, would be inapplicable because a finished thing does not need to journey. It is static and rests as in a museum, a completed project, a piece of art. This is not your concept of yourself. Rather, you resist the teaching of your culture which says that that at some point you are finished, you are grown. You say, “No, I am not. There is more than I am perceiving to the world about me, and I wish to have the tools of a more accurate perception in order that I may work upon myself.” This is why you are here. One may phrase this in many ways, but this is why you are here. You are not satisfied to gaze at the veneer, at the surface, at the appearance, at the constant coincidences, surprises, and events of daily life. You do truly wish to penetrate more and more the eggshell, the cocoon, to reach out, young though you may be, burst out of the shell, out of the cocoon and gaze upon a new world.

We would ask you a question this evening. If you do so truly and earnestly wish to learn more, and do so truthfully feel that you are not finished, why is it, my friends, that so often you form judgments that seem to be carved in stone and resist change? Do you think that everything is worthy of your attention in the illusion except for those things which you have already decided are so? It is an interesting question, and one we urge you to ponder whenever you find yourself prey to a sudden attack of surety. When you are absolutely and positively certain that things are as they must be in an area of your life, it is then time to ponder the unfinished nature of your great infinite and eternal personality. What do you want to keep when you shed this cocoon, when you crack this shell? The emotions you accept and allow to become biases will be those things which you keep. Therefore, examine your biases or judgments, your reactions, your opinions and seek in them the seeds of new growth. We do not say this is a simple matter, although it is. We are aware of the effort which it takes for one who is within an illusion to bring light to bear upon a cherished misconception. Nevertheless, my friends, if you do not find Love within each and every bias, pull that bias apart and find out how the wood shall be grained beneath the veneer, how the butterfly shall travel when it is free of that particular cocoon.

In this session Hatonn spoke about how we are unfinished beings. They began by saying there is a premise which each within this group shares which calls us to you and calls you together, and that premise is that you are unfinished, for if you were finished the metaphors we use of seeking and learning would be inapplicable because a finished thing does not need to journey since it is static and rests in a museum as a piece of art, but this is not your concept of yourself, so you resist the teaching of your culture which says that that at some point you are finished but you say, “No, I am not. There is more than I am perceiving to the world about me, and I wish to have the tools of a more accurate perception in order that I may work upon myself,” and this is why you are here so one may phrase this in many ways, for you are not satisfied to gaze at the constant events of daily life, but you do wish to penetrate the eggshell and to burst out of the shell and gaze upon a new world. Hatonn continued by saying: “If you wish to learn more and feel that you are not finished, why is it that often you form judgments that seem to be carved in stone and resist change? Do you think that everything is worthy of your attention in the illusion except for those things which you have already decided are so?” Then Hatonn said it is an interesting question, and one we urge you to ponder whenever you find yourself prey to a sudden attack of surety, for when you are certain that things are as they must be in an area of your life, it is then time to ponder the unfinished nature of your infinite personality, and the emotions you accept and allow to become biases will be those things which you keep, so examine your biases and seek in them the seeds of new growth, but we do not say this is a simple matter, although it is, for we are aware of the effort which it takes for one who is within an illusion to bring Light to bear upon a cherished misconception, so if you do not find Love within each bias, pull that bias apart and find out how the wood shall be grained beneath the veneer. On August 10, 1980, Latwii described the nature of our infinite personality:

Let us move up from the physical plane to the mental. How can you become a more effective spiritual seeker by using your mind? Like your body, my friends, your mind is a tool. Unlike your body, your mind contains elements of your infinite personality; it contains biases and feelings which you have gained by experiences prior to this incarnation. Consequently, your mind is an enhanced tool, capable when used properly of aiding you greatly.

. . .

Lastly, we come to the wellspring of spiritual growth, and that is, of course, the spiritual self which is your connection to your primary and true personality. Stimulate that connection with regularity, and though you may not hear what the silence speaks, the connection having been made will bear fruit. You may consider your spiritual self as a great protector, for once you align yourself with it, it will shade you, feed you, and supply you with your needs. Again, it was written that the one known as Jesus said, “I have food and drink that you know not of.” Yes, my friends, all of you have nourishment to an infinite degree. The bread of the Kingdom awaits your attention.

Before we leave this instrument, we and  those of Laitos would wish to spend some few moments with the one known as K, familiarizing this entity with the feeling of our contact. We also wish to spend those same moments with the one known as R. If you would be so kind as to allow us to pause at this time. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We thank each. Our blessing is with you, and as the last rays of your planet’s sun light the room in which you sit, so we travel from you. Our thoughts are always with you, and you may request our presence at any time. Look always for the Light, and when you see it now, remember the Light within you, and then you shall be free of darkness, and you shall bloom as do your flowers. I am of Hatonn. I leave you in that great inner Light which is only faintly mocked and fondly remembered by your sun. I leave you in the infinite Love of the infinite One. Adonai. Adonai.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and greet you, my friends, in Love and Light. We are privileged, as always, to be asked to join your group this evening. We thank you once again for your joyful invitation which we gladly accept. We of Latwii are here to attempt to answer those queries which have meaning for you for which you have concern. May we then begin our humble service by asking for the first query?

S2: I was wondering. Is there a reason for having a rash, and what do you recommend would be a good cure for such of the kind that I have right now?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. The first portion of your query is more easily answered, for, indeed, my brother, there is a reason for each situation or condition in which your physical vehicle finds itself in a distortion of what you may call disease. The basic reason for any such distortion towards disease is that an opportunity to learn which has been less than efficiently used by the mind and by the thinking processes of the entity has then been given to the physical vehicle in a symbolic form that the entity might more easily notice the opportunity which was first missed.

Therefore, for the cure, shall we say, to any such malfunction of the physical vehicle, it is most helpful to look to the symbolic form which the malfunction represents. This may require that the entity suffering such malfunction engage in a substantial portion of contemplation and analysis of what the symbolic meaning might be. This action then might be helpfully followed by meditation upon the fruits of such contemplation, allowing the crystal thoughts to sink to the heart of the being accompanied by the desire to know the truth and the desire to evolve in mind, body, and spirit. This desire shall fertilize and water the crystal seeds of your thoughts, so that there might be what you would call an intuitional inspiration rising from the deep portions of the self into the conscious mind, and allow the opportunity which was first missed to be utilized, and therefore allow a healing to occur within the being.

May we answer you further, my brother?

S2: Do you have any suggestions—well, first off, I’m probably asking a question you can’t answer, but I’m going to ask it anyway. Do you have any suggestions as to what it is that I’m not—I assume there’s a lesson or catalyst I’m not utilizing correctly. Do you have a suggestion as to what areas I should concentrate on?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We may speak in general terms only in this matter, for as you are aware, the process of struggling with the so-called problem allows a spiritual strength to be nourished within the seeker. This density which you inhabit has one primary lesson. That is the lesson of loving, forgiving, and acceptance or that which may be called compassion. When there is less than Love, less than acceptance, less than forgiveness in any area of an entity’s life, then there is the opportunity to grow, shall we say, that very lack which is experienced. For the lack of such provides a vacuum which attracts to that lack in the entity experiencing the lack that which is missing. Love, acceptance, forgiveness, tolerance and the ability for what you might call the light touch are those aspects of unconditional Love to which one may look in general in order to see where there might be the lack in the life as it is experienced by the entity.

May we answer you further, my brother?

S2: No, that’s fine. That really is a lot of help to me. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we are most grateful to you, my brother, for allowing us to serve. Is there another query at this time?

K: I have a question, Latwii. I’m having a terrible time with procrastination. I know that often in the past when I’m putting off something, when I first jump in then things come easily, and I’m spending a lot of time sleeping, so I won’t have to do things. And I really wish to get out of that rut, and I don’t seem to be able to do it. Do you have any suggestions?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We again may speak in general terms and suggest that the meditation upon the difficult situation, and the growing desire to rectify it is most efficacious, for within the heart and the deepest portions of the self of each entity lies the knowledge of what lessons are being sought, and what lessons have been programmed before the time of this life began …

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and shall continue through this instrument. As you meditate and again fertilize your meditation with your desire to know the truth, you shall open deeper portions of yourself, those portions which serve as resources to the conscious mind. The intuitional inspirations then shall travel through the same openings, and become apparent to your conscious mind. You may find then in this manner that there are a number of possible solutions or possibilities that shall be presented to you as a result of such mediation. The intuitional inspirations may offer the more specific type of suggestions as to what lessons are being made available to you through the situations which you see and describe as procrastination in a more general manner. You may also discover that the desire which you take with you in meditation to seek the truth also returns to you enhanced, and becomes, shall we say, a motivational force or factor which allows you then to utilize the specific inspirational hunches which rise from the deeper portions of your being.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: [Inaudible]

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

R: Latwii, I’d like your advice on surviving in what I consider to be a very negative atmosphere with very negative requirements for survival, and how to maintain … It’s hard to put into words. How to maintain an unguarded, I guess, attitude or an unguarded—reject an unguarded attitude in this environment. It’s hard to … For quite some time now I’ve been able to maintain what I consider to be a positive attitude in a negative surrounding, and just recently, very recently, I, in a way of speaking, picked up the knife and cut a throat to guarantee my own security, and it’s bothering me. And I want to know, is it possible to survive in negative places without being negative, and if so, how?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. Though the survival of the positive polarity becomes more difficult when surrounded by the increasing negative influences, we may reaffirm that, indeed, it is possible and even probable that such survival may be enjoyed by those who seek the Light and Love of the one Creator in the positive sense. Remember first, my brother, that you inhabit an illusion. What seems to be one thing may be another. What seems to be the negative polarity surrounding an entity may also be the opportunity for finding the positive aspect of the same catalyst. To remember that you inhabit an illusion is most helpful, for if from time to time you forget and believe with you thinking that what surrounds you is real, then you are more likely to respond in an illusory manner, shall we say, playing by the rules of the game which is not real. This of course intensifies the catalyst for the entity so entrapped until the entity, by the trauma of its own experience, is brought to the realization that there is much more to what is true, good, and beautiful than what it had previously imagined.

May we now move to another aspect of the catalyst which seems negative. All of your creation, all of any creation, is based upon an illusion, the illusion of separation. It would seem to one observing creation that certain things, in fact all things exist apart from each other. Yet, are not all one? Therefore, as you face the catalyst of your daily round of experience, remember that each portion of the creation, though an illusion, also contains the Love of the one Creator. Your mission, shall we say, if you should choose to accept it, is to find that Love. This is the work of the adept, for it requires that which has the magical or metaphysical power of transformation. As you look at what seems to be negative, look for the Creator. The Creator is there. Look for Love. Love is there. If then you can find that Love, that Light, the one Creator within the situation and within yourself, then you, as Creator, may speak to that situation which also is the Creator. And it may be transformed by your recognition of it as the Creator. My friend, this is not an easy path, nor was it meant to be. The burden of your journey weighs heavy, yet the strength that you gain grows daily. You shall seem the fool to many. And so shall you be. For the fool knows that it inhabits an illusion and seeks to become one with that which many would run from. This is the way of the fool, running in the opposite direction towards the difficulty, for no difficulty is seen.

R asked: “I want to know, is it possible to survive in negative places without being negative, and if so, how?” Latwii replied by saying though the survival of the positive polarity becomes more difficult when surrounded by negative influences, we affirm that it is probable that such survival may be enjoyed by those who seek the Light and Love of the one Creator in the positive sense, but remember that you inhabit an illusion, and what seems to be one thing may be another, so what seems to be negative polarity surrounding an entity may also be the opportunity for finding the positive aspect of the same catalyst , for to remember that you inhabit an illusion is helpful, and if from time to time you forget and believe that what surrounds you is real, then you are likely to respond in an illusory manner playing by the rules of the game which is not real, so this intensifies the catalyst for the entity so entrapped until the entity, by the trauma of its own experience, is brought to the realization that there is more to what is true, good, and beautiful than what it had previously imagined. Now Latwii said we move to another aspect of the catalyst which seems negative, for all of any creation is based upon the illusion of separation, so it would seem to one observing creation that all things exist apart from each other, yet all are one, and as you face the catalyst of your daily round of experience, remember that each portion of the creation, though an illusion, also contains the Love of the one Creator, and your mission is to find that Love, so this is the work of the adept, for it requires that which has the magical power of transformation, yet as you look at what seems to be negative, look for the Creator, for the Creator is there, and look for Love, for Love is there, and if then you can find that Love, that Light, the one Creator within the situation and within yourself, then you, as Creator, may speak to that situation which also is the Creator, and it may be transformed by your recognition of it as the Creator, but this is not an easy path, nor was it meant to be because the burden of your journey weighs heavy, yet the strength that you gain grows daily, so you shall seem the fool to many, and so shall you be, for the fool knows that it inhabits an illusion and seeks to become one with that which many would run from, and this is the way of the fool, running in the opposite direction towards the difficulty, for no difficulty is seen. On February 11, 2023, Q’uo spoke of the nature of transformation:

You become able to take over this process of spiritual evolution as you continue to exercise the open heart of unconditional Love, so that you see yourself connected with each other-self within your experience by this bond of Love. The power of Love is immense. It has the ability to advance consciousness continually throughout the octave of experience that you now are traveling your path and seeking and serving the One Infinite Creator at all times as you share your Love with others. Thus, this Love is the great power of transformation of the increase in consciousness, of the ability to move more and more in unity with the One Infinite Creator.

May we answer you further, my brother?

R: No, Latwii, thank you. I only wish I could take you to work with me sometime. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and, my brother, we are with you there as well. May we answer another query at this time?

Latwii, I was wondering. You said that my—what my primary lesson in this existence is, and the reason why I had a disease, was because I had not responded to some catalyst as effectively as I should have. Could it be that, or is it possible that I could be receiving catalyst for, let’s say, an extension of the sort of basic requirement, if you understand what I mean?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We spoke in general terms in our previous response to your query, and indicated that Love was the primary lesson to be learned. It is quite true that each entity shall refine the means by which this lesson is learned, and shall refine these means in many, many ways so that unto each entity falls unique configurations of catalyst programmed, may we add, by the entity itself that it might learn certain lessons. You see, you are the professor which constructs the tests and the queries. Then you forget who you are and join this illusion and begin the class of Love, and you become the student taking the test which it seems it has never seen before. Yet, as you continue upon your journey, you shall discover that you become more and more familiar with the questions and the testing, and you shall discover more and more the unique nature of each catalyst, each question, each test.

May we answer you further, my brother?

S2: No. Thank you very much, though.

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

Carla: If I could suggest, perhaps we should close because of C’s discomfort.

I am Latwii, and we are most happy to serve in this manner as well. We wish for the one known as C the comfort of the cessation of the coughing difficulty. We thank each present for inviting our presence. We are with you always. In the present situation you are simply more aware of our presence than at other times. Ask for our presence in your meditations if that would serve you, and we shall be most honored to respond and join you there. At this time, we shall take our leave of this group. Yet, as we seem to leave, we are with you in Love and in Light and in unity. Peace and blessings be with each. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Unless, through these periods of silence, God enters into our relationship with our family, all of our efforts and work to build home may come to naught. The material water, bread, or wine we may give the members of the family—the service—does not satisfy, and the next day they will hunger and thirst again. It is only in proportion to our recognition of our Christhood and the true identity of the members of our household that we are able to give the living waters: “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.” Then God fulfills Itself through us, as we fulfill our part by bringing peace to individual consciousness.

When we are consciously aware of our union with God, turning to God within as the source of all good, our relationship with one another is sure and completely free of any desire to get, to have, or to possess anything or anyone which someone else has. A spiritual relationship is a giving one, a sharing one, and a co-operative one. It is like giving gifts to our children, to husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, or friends; not for any return; not for any reason; not because they have earned or deserved them; but just for the joy of expressing Love. When our relationship to one another is based, not on what we deserve or have earned from one another but on what lies within our hearts to give or share with one another –not only money but all the courtesies of life: co-operation; forgiveness; understanding; mutuality; trust; and helpfulness—then, and then only, will that relationship be permanent, a pure gift of the Spirit, a pure offering of ourselves. “For Love is of God.”

This afternoon I put Huff and Puff on my back and then road Venus across the street to my neighbor’s yard. I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves in the front yard, the side yard, and the back yard into areas where I could get to them with my large lawn mower, Venus. Then I used Venus to mulch the leaves in the front yard. I mulched these areas a couple of times because there were a lot of leaves in these areas. Then I used Huff and Puff to blow the heavy mulch under the low hanging limbs of the trees along the drainage ditch. At this point what had been a light rain turned into a thunderstorm, so it looks like I will need to finish the job tomorrow.

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

February 19

Stop, Rest And Listen

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

Stop, rest, and listen. Let these be the watchwords of your busy day.

Into this day there shall come those sounds which distract the senses, for the world of the city makes powerful noise with its engines and business.

And those who dwell in pastures, plains, and mountain farmlands may hear too the distracting noises of nature, that noisy, joyful mistress of the Creator’s manifestation of Love and service upon your planet.

Let not these sounds disturb and distract without using this energy to return and to remember Love. May each distraction then become a prayer and each disharmony, harmony, by the realignment of the ear to inner silence.

For the peace of Jesus the Christ is not found without effort; without the turning of the will; without the remembering of the heart. Let these be your works when noise disturbs and clamor seems to overwhelm the senses. For you are strong within, and within you tabernacle with the silence.

We leave you in joy and peace, now and always. Amen.

 I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings for this session come from May 1, 1983:

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn and am now with this instrument. We greet you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. My friends, the people use three small words, the words, “I love you.” These words are bandied about. They have been spoken many times without thinking, but the meaning they hold. The words mean nothing without the knowledge of what they mean. As the populations of this planet increase, and as you find there is less and less room for each individual, the knowledge of the meaning of the words will help you communicate with your fellow

…

We would pause for a minute. I am Hatonn. We are still experiencing some difficulty in our contact with this instrument. We will attempt to adjust.

I am Hatonn. Our contact is strengthened, though tentative, as this instrument is still seeking to renew his channeling abilities that he had come to doubt. We would, if we may, begin again. We wish to speak on communication between the entities on your planet. You and all those on your planet often find it hard to transmit feelings to one another. People become bogged down by language and by being unable to touch their inner selves to convey those things they feel. Many words, including the word Love, have been subject to distortion, for it is often used superficially and empty of meaning. Love, as you are becoming aware of, need not be spoken to be conveyed. The Light that is in you, once you have become aware, reaches out and touches those around you. You give of yourself to the other without words. A simple touch, when done as freely as you can offer it, conveys much more than the words of your language.

As you continue your journey, attune yourselves to the Love within you, within others. Become not bogged down by the rhetoric, but communicate yourself by using yourself. The Light within you shines if you let it. A touch may convey it.

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

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again through this instrument in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We shall continue upon this subject through this instrument.

Shall we examine the assumptions which each seeker makes concerning the quality of his or her communication with other beings. Perhaps the primary assumption, my friends, is that you must have ambition to seek and to grasp that which it is you wish to know, and therefore that which you wish to communicate. You wish to take upon yourself the essence and the meaning of Love. Although it is written in your holy work the Bible, “Seek and ye shall find, ask and you shall be answered, knock and it shall he opened,” there is a point at which the seeking with the conscious self as ambitious seeker ceases to make metaphysical sense, and indeed becomes counterproductive to the serious student. Therefore, you seem to be upon the horns of a dilemma. You must seek in order to be a seeker. You must have ambition; you must grasp and reach ever further than you [inaudible]. And yet in order to fully be a seeker there is that point at which such grasping and seeking is a negative or unhelpful method of being, and of transmitting your being through communication to others. The cause of this is the very nature of taking. Examine the nature of those who take. It may all be done in the most noble spirit. But do you wish for yourself that you may become somehow glorious as the Creator is glorious? Do you seek in your relationship to be someone to whom that other person may look with respect? Do you seek somehow the glory of that great Wisdom which is Love?

In all that you do in your occupations, in your preoccupations and your hobbies, do you seek somehow to make an impression, to take and build, to grasp a reputation or an opinion from yourself or from others? Do you even have a fantasy that you might one day experience the glory that is your birthright? We would be surprised, my friends, if there were any who could answer, “Nay.” For it is the nature of those who labor diligently to attach importance to the tasks and to wish for results. But the first rule of communication is that there is no taking but only giving. Therefore, in the process of communication, you must give all that you have away. Is your difficulty that of a relationship? Then you must give that relationship completely away. You must lose everything so that you have no stakes in the outcome of the relationship. There are no impressions to be made. There is no grasping for meaning. You are simply there to listen and to give, with no possible loss. You may apply this to any of the areas of your illusion. Any reputation that you have, any pride, any thoughts that you wish to be of more service, but the structure of your environment first must change, need to be left behind. For you who have anything at stake have too much to lose to communicate Love.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the Love and the Light that is within us. They began by saying we examine the assumptions which each seeker makes concerning the quality of his or her communication with other beings, and the primary assumption is that you must have ambition to seek that which it is you wish to know, and that which you wish to communicate, and you wish to take upon yourself the meaning of Love, so it is written in the Bible, “Seek and ye shall find, ask and you shall be answered, knock and it shall he opened,” and there is a point at which seeking with the conscious self as an ambitious seeker ceases to make metaphysical sense, and it becomes counterproductive to the serious student, for you seem to be upon the horns of a dilemma, for you must seek in order to be a seeker, and you must have ambition, yet in order to be a seeker there is that point at which such grasping and seeking is an unhelpful method of being and of transmitting your being through communication to others, for the cause of this is the nature of taking, so examine the nature of those who take, and it may be done in a noble spirit: “But do you wish for yourself that you may become somehow glorious as the Creator is glorious? Do you seek in your relationship to be someone to whom that other person may look with respect? Do you seek somehow the glory of that great Wisdom which is Love?” Hatonn went on to say: “In all that you do in your occupations, in your preoccupations and your hobbies, do you seek somehow to make an impression, to take and build, to grasp a reputation or an opinion from yourself or from others? Do you even have a fantasy that you might one day experience the glory that is your birthright?” Then Hatonn said we would be surprised if there were any who could answer, “No,” for it is the nature of those who labor diligently to attach importance to the tasks and to wish for results, but the first rule of communication is that there is no taking but only giving, for in the process of communication, you must give all that you have away, so if your difficulty is that of a relationship, then you must give that relationship away, and you must lose everything, so that you have no stakes in the outcome of the relationship, for there are no impressions to be made and no grasping for meaning because you are there to listen and to give, with no possible loss, and you may apply this to any of the areas of your illusion, yet any pride that you have, any thoughts that you wish to be of more service can be considered, but the structure of your environment must change and be left behind, for you who have anything at stake have too much to lose to communicate Love. On July 9, 1989, Q’uo said that

We wish each of you to know that you decided upon who your parents would be. Not only that, but as your higher self joined you between incarnations, you drew the basic geographical map of the journey that you would take and the lessons that you would learn within this lifetime. This is why we encourage each never to be disappointed because you have seemingly failed. Because the only thing that is important is that you persist in attempting to communicate Love and Light. Causing it to be manifested is the gift of grace, not the hallmark of humanity.

Is there anything, any possession of mind or body that you fear to lose? In your mind let it go. Release it and bid it farewell. You will be bidding farewell constantly, for this process of amalgamating to the self those things which seem useful is continuous to the student, and in the process of communication, each thing must be given up, for only in the full Light of compassion which has no stake and nothing to lose can you truly hear the voice of another being who speaks. You may do many things, my friends, in your attempt to experience the oneness of all creation, and each thing that you do is fine, and wonderful, and worthy. But the glory is not within the attempts but within the realization which comes to those who have given up all things. That all is the Creator. You may give away everything, and for the first time experience true plenty. In fact, until you give away all things, you will not experience plenty. You will not communicate Love without significant distortion. Each entity has a unique way of expressing itself. For you to communicate with one other entity, you must come into a vibratory agreement with that entity’s deeper self. Not with that entity’s words, but with the entity’s self. If you have anything at all at stake, you will not be free to communicate with even one entity.

If you are able through meditation to keep the realization fresh that your beingness does not depend upon anything, but is and has been and will be as it is, then you can begin to experience those gifts given to what that same holy book has called the poor in heart. We realize that this may be confusing to those who are attempting with a full heart and sincere purpose to seek the one infinite Creator, for there is a great deal of intention and purpose needed to set one’s feet upon the path and to keep one’s feet moving, to pick oneself up when one falls, to open oneself to the comfort of meditation when one does not even feel worthy of such a state of being. But each of you is already full of purpose, full of desire and seriously seeking. Therefore, the balance is necessary. You seek for yourself, and then you give what you have sought back to the infinite Creator. You can lose nothing. You can gain nothing. You are always on this journey. You are always on the brink of an utterly indescribable joy.

Hatonn went on to say if there is any possession of mind or body that you fear losing, then in your mind let it go, and you will be bidding farewell constantly, for this process of adding to the self those things which seem useful is continuous, and in the process of communication each thing must be given up, for only in the full Light of compassion which has nothing to lose can you hear the voice of another being who speaks, so you may do many things in your attempt to experience the oneness of all creation, and each thing that you do is worthy, but the glory is not within the attempts but within the realization which comes to those who have given up all things, and all that is the Creator, because you may give away everything, and for the first time experience true plenty, yet until you give away all things, you will not experience plenty, and you will not communicate Love without significant distortion since each entity has an unique way of expressing itself, and for you to communicate with one other entity you must come into a vibratory agreement with that entity’s deeper self, so if you have anything at all at stake, you will not be free to communicate with even one entity. Now Hatonn said if you are able through meditation to remember that your beingness does not depend upon anything, but it is as it always has been, then you can experience those gifts given to what the Bible called the poor in heart, and we realize that this may be confusing to those who are attempting with a full heart to seek the one infinite Creator, for there is a great deal of intention needed to set one’s feet upon the path and to pick oneself up when one falls, to open oneself to the comfort of meditation when one does not feel worthy of such a state of being, but each of you is already seriously seeking, and then you give what you have sought back to the infinite Creator, and you can lose nor gain nothing, for you are always on this journey of an utterly indescribable joy. On May 3, 1998, Q’uo spoke of the value of our full heart:

For though one seeker may find fruits upon the journey and wish to share the nourishment of them with others, it is difficult to do unless those others with whom one wishes to share have the similar desire, for each has the lessons of Love to learn. And the greatest sharing that each seeker can make with others is to travel his or her own journey with a full heart, with alive compassion, and with the sincere desire to know that which you call the truth. The radiance that comes from within for each seeker so traveling is as a beacon, a Light to others that, when they wish to inquire as to the nature of the journey, it is most appropriate to share with them that which you have found.

Therefore, my friends, let your hearts be light, and your voices merry, and never feel that you have reached the last resort as you communicate. Simply remember that whatever it is that you are holding in your hands, or in your heart, or in your mind can be safely given away. That is how one loves by action. You are blessed with infinity. Whatever you give away is yours again in infinite supply. We ask that you come out of meditation with a thought for the joy of giving. Imagine how surprised a burglar would be if he came to your house and you said, “My friend, my brother, take all that I have. Take my shoes. I have more.” Such an attitude can convey more to one who needs to speak with you than all the fine speeches in the world. Whoever is performing has a mask beneath which lies the eyes of the Creator. Communicate with that Creator and cease not to meditate in order that your contact with infinite Love may always be free-flowing so that you may touch it and it may touch others.

Hatonn continued by saying let your hearts be light and your voices merry, and never feel that you have reached the last resort as you communicate, but remember that whatever it is that you are holding in your heart or in your mind can be given away, for that is how one Loves by action because you are blessed with infinity, and whatever you give away is yours again in infinite supply, so we ask that you come out of meditation with a thought for the joy of giving, and imagine how surprised a burglar would be if he came to your house and you said, “My friend, my brother, take all that I have. Take my shoes. I have more.” Such an attitude can convey more to one who needs to speak with you than all the fine speeches in the world, for whoever is performing has a mask beneath which lies the eyes of the Creator, so communicate with that Creator, and cease not to meditate in order that your contact with infinite Love may always be free-flowing, so that you may touch it, and it may touch others. On May 5, 2002, Q’uo said that our spiritual path is created by what is in our heart:

We affirm each entity’s choices and can suggest again that the path which you follow in your spiritual seeking must needs be that which speaks to your heart rather than that which another suggests, whether that other be revered and honored and seeming to be possessed of greater knowledge or to be an ordinary entity upon your street. For there are as many paths to the one Creator as there are entities who seek that One within all and within the self. Follow, then, that which is in your heart. Follow that which speaks to your heart and be always willing to increase the intensity of your seeking, the intensity of your desire, and the meditation that we always recommend for every path, for every seeker, for meditation is the surest means that we know for any seeker in third density to approach the infinite Creator.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the one known as S1 and the one known as S2 for serving as vocal channels. We appreciate the desire to listen, and therefore will take our leave through this instrument, allowing them a rest. We would leave you with this thought. It has sometimes been said by those who come to this group and find their questions answered helpfully that perhaps this person or that person is or is not worthy. Just such a case occurred the previous meeting at this domicile. We, therefore, wish to say to the one known as K what we say to each of you so that you will see that it is truly intended by us. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to share our thoughts with those among your people who are seeking the truth. If you all were not within this domicile, and if you were not in possession of questions that needed the answers, we could not serve. And if we did not serve, then we would have ceased being useful to the group. Therefore, there is no one who desires to hear our thoughts who is not paramount in our blessings, our affection, and our thanks, for only in serving you are we served. This is our method of learning about the Creator. We learn from you and we are infinitely grateful for the opportunity you provide. As always, we caution you to toss away those things which do not make sense, and to keep that which is helpful, for we speak with the same inadequate tongue as any being. However, we have the great fortune of speaking to the Creator, and we salute each of you. We too are the same Creator.

We leave you upon the winds of time and change. We leave you in your illusion, that marvelous prison which you have selected in order that you may learn how to escape. We leave you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are pleased once again to be asked to join your group, and to provide our humble service of attempting to answer your queries, those treasures of sharing which you have brought with you this evening. May we ask then for the first query?

R: Latwii, I’m confused somewhat on the mechanism of the sexual energy transfer. I’m wondering, I know that the male and female both must experience orgasm, and my question is, I hope I don’t embarrass anyone, but my question is, does the male orgasm have to take place within the female for the energy transfer to take place? I’m not sure I understand the complete workings of the mechanism of that …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii and am with this instrument once again. To continue that which we had barely begun. It is not necessary, my brother, that the orgasm be achieved for the sexual energy transfer to be accomplished, especially among the entities who are well polarized and mated, shall we say. The energy transfer in such situations is a constantly ongoing phenomenon which is greatly enhanced by the conscious sexual sharing of love, compassion, understanding and forgiveness. There are those disciplines among various cultures and orders of the people of your planet that have pursued the sexual energy transfer without using the culmination known as orgasm. The practitioners of that known as Tantric Yoga, for example, utilize such methodology. For those who wish to utilize that culmination, shall we say, known as the orgasm, it is indeed most helpful if the orgasm of the male occur within the female sexual organ region, as we note is the normal methodology of most of your people. This is mostly a, shall we say, symbolic region, though not just symbolic, yet that the orgasm occurs here is most helpful, for this is the base chakra or energy center and is activated by the physical sensations which have been shared by the two entities engaging in the transfer of energy. From this point then, the energy centers are activated in order, and when there are no significant blockages at the next energy center, then the energy which has been transferred proceeds through that center until it meets the point of resistance at which point the transfer is culminated. At each energy center there is a certain vibrational nature to the transfer which enhances the vital energies of both entities.

R asked: “Does the male orgasm have to take place within the female for the energy transfer to take place? I’m not sure I understand the complete workings of the mechanism of that … “ Latwii replied by saying it is not necessary that the orgasm be achieved for the sexual energy transfer to be accomplished, especially among the entities who are well polarized and mated, for the energy transfer in such situations is a constantly ongoing phenomenon which is enhanced by the conscious sexual sharing of love, understanding, and forgiveness, so there are disciplines among various cultures that have pursued sexual energy transfer without using the culmination known as orgasm, and the practitioners of Tantric Yoga utilize such methodology, and for those who wish to experience orgasm, it is helpful if the orgasm of the male occur within the female’s vagina, for when the orgasm occurs here it is most helpful, for this is the base energy center and is activated by the physical sensations which have been shared by the two entities engaging in the transfer of energy, so from this point the energy centers are activated in order, and when there are no significant blockages at the next energy center, the energy which has been transferred proceeds through that center until it meets the point of resistance at which point the transfer is culminated, and at each energy center there is a certain vibrational nature to the transfer which enhances the vital energies of both entities. On November 25, 2023, Q’uo described the requirements for a sexual energy transfer:

The sexual energy is that which is a great representation or manifestation of the steady state of the One Infinite Creator when it is utilized within the third-density experience, or within any densities experience, in the manner in which it is shared with another, in a manner of seeking to serve the One Infinite Creator by the experience of joy, and the orgasm of the various energy centers moving through the entire field of energy centers. There is the transfer of energy from one to the other that is most helpful for the spiritual seeker that has opened its heart in unconditional Love to those about it.

We must say that it is the heart that is open that is able to express and experience the sexual energy transfer. If the heart itself is not open, then there is no transfer of energy of the spiritual nature only of the physical nature. Thus, there is much of that physical energy that is transferred from the male quality of entity to the female quality of entity, and much of spiritual and emotional energy from the female type of energy to the male type of energy.

May we answer you further, my brother?

R: No, Latwii, thank you.

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

Carlal: I am not sure because I’m not a very good student, but it seems to me that the Ra material suggested that energy transfer could take place—if only one of the two partners had an orgasm, that it would be shared. Is that true?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. This is correct and is a further ramification of this type of energy transfer which we had not yet covered.

May we answer you further?

Carla: I’d just like a confirmation of something that I was talking about with a friend earlier this week. Each of us had had experiences where in sexual orgasm it seemed that there was a linkage not just with a mate but with the universe. But it didn’t happen but maybe two or three times in a lifetime so far. Could you confirm that you can’t tell me how you do that?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find ourselves in this particular response limited greatly by that which we may share as our form of energy transfer at this time, for the type of experience which you have described is that of the indigo-ray energy transfer which is most rare upon your planet. This is the work of the adept. To describe that methodology for any entity seeking adepthood is to travel that for the entity, and this we view as an infringement. An entity in sharing with another in the sexual energy transfer may from time to time strike the heart of its seeking, shall we say, just as the novice who aims the arrow at the target shall from time to time strike the center or the bull’s-eye. The methodology for repeating this procedure in a manner which is sure is a methodology which must be discovered by the practitioner in order for it to be effective, for each shall find his or her unique methodology, though each shall travel a similar path.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Okay, so it was your basic beginner’s luck? All right. Just one more question. Is the path traceable, the same, by each mated pair that is vibrating all the way up through indigo, or is it unique to each mated pair?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Without meaning to confuse, may we suggest that both possibilities are correct. To explicate, may we suggest that the lessons to be learned are represented by each energy center, the green being the sharing of unconditional Love with the other self, the blue being the acceptance in a free and open manner of the other self, and the giving to and receiving from the other self of clear communication, and the indigo being the work of the adept that seeks to change conscious perception by utilizing the unconscious mind. Each energy center and type of lesson must be mastered by all who seek adepthood, yet the method of mastery is unique to each entity, and to each pair of entities it is doubly unique. This is because each entity has pre-incarnative programming which allows the pursuing of these lessons in a manner which is a culmination of many previous incarnations. Each is also traveling the path of the seeker, yet traveling the path in quite an individual fashion so that various lessons are learned in various manners of learning in various climes with a multitude of those joining in the seeking throughout the many incarnations.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Just let me boil down what you said and see if I got it. What you’re saying is the requirements are constant, but the methods of meeting the requirements are as various as the people. Is that what you said?

I am Latwii, and, my sister, we appreciate your ability to distill that which we spend many words upon.

Latwii: May we answer you further?

Carla: No. I’ll let somebody else have a go.

[Pause]

Carla: Well, as long as nobody else has a question, I have another question. I was confused a little bit by the message tonight; I didn’t understand it. I guess I’ll have to read it. As we’ve studied, it seems that the function of will is very important. And it seemed that what Hatonn was trying to express was almost a negation of will. I guess it’s only natural that there should be a lot of paradoxes, but that one about turning your back, sort of, on your seeking in order to communicate confused me, and I wondered, especially since we keep being reminded about the function of the will, what is the function of the will in communication? Do you will to lose that which you have gained? What … I’ll just stop there and you can say anything that comes to mind. I was confused.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your confusion, my sister. We hope that we may aid in this matter, for as the seeker continues the journey there is the need for the constant refinement of the means of seeking. Our brothers and sisters of Hatonn attempted to provide this means of refining for your consideration. You are each aware that the effort of the seeker is great when the seeking becomes conscious. The seeker looks all about the self for answers to the basic questions of who it is, of what life is, and how shall this life be lived. There are many groups upon your planet who provide various answers to these queries. Many seekers travel to many groups, and as the shopper at a sale, tries on many clothes and many possible means of looking at the universe about the self, and at the self within the universe. Many techniques are used to still the mind, to center the attention, to provide healthy thoughts and food for mind and body, to repeat various phrases, to sing various songs, to dance various dances. Each seeker then gains a repertoire of means by which the evolution of mind, body, and spirit might be pursued, and each seeker then uses these means in such pursuits. The road is traveled; the turns are found; the sun and the moon alternate in shining upon the journey; the winds of change blow across the face which continues to push forward. Eventually the seeker must look within the self for the final inspiration that motivates the seeker to take one more step, and yet one more step.

The message which our brothers and sisters of Hatonn attempted to deliver concerned this point at which the seeker begins to refine the seeking so that the dedication to an outcome in any situation is released. For though the will is built at first by such dedication it is as the crutch that eventually must be laid down in order that the seeker may walk with its own strength. To give up the stake in any outcome of an event is not for the beginner. One must take the first step first. To give up the stake and the dedication is another way of suggesting that the seeker be that which it seeks, that the seeker be that which it has been for all time and before time unrolled its scroll of beingness. The seeker then is exhorted to be that which it seeks—the one infinite Creator. For, in truth, the seeker is the one infinite Creator and though it may use many crutches to come to that point of realization, eventually to be the Creator the seeker no longer seeks with any crutch but is that which it is. And this is a refinement of the will which is directed then in another fashion with a much lighter touch, shall we say, yet in paradoxical fashion a touch which has great power.

Carla asked: “As we’ve studied, it seems that the function of will is very important. And it seemed that what Hatonn was trying to express was almost a negation of will. I guess it’s only natural that there should be a lot of paradoxes, but that one about turning your back, sort of, on your seeking in order to communicate confused me, and I wondered, especially since we keep being reminded about the function of the will, what is the function of the will in communication? Do you will to lose that which you have gained?” Latwii said as the seeker continues the journey there is the need for constant refinement of the means of seeking, for you are aware that the effort of the seeker is great when the seeking becomes conscious, so the seeker looks all about for answers to the basic questions of who it is, of what life is, and how shall this life be lived, and there are groups upon your planet who provide answers to these queries, so many seekers travel to many groups, and they seek ways of looking at the universe about them and at the self within the universe, for many techniques are used to still the mind to provide healthy thoughts for mind and body, and each seeker gains a repertoire of means by which the evolution of mind, body, and spirit might be pursued, and each seeker uses these means in such pursuits, so the road is traveled; the turns are found; the winds of change blow across the face which continues to push forward, and eventually the seeker must look within the self for the final inspiration that motivates the seeker to take one more step. Now Latwii said this is the point at which the seeker begins to refine the seeking so that the dedication to an outcome in any situation is released, for though the will is built at first by such dedication it is as the crutch that eventually must be laid down in order that the seeker may walk with its own strength, but to give up the stake in any outcome of an event is not for the beginner, for one must take the first step, but to give up the stake and the dedication is another way of suggesting that the seeker be that which has been for all time and before time unrolled its scroll of beingness, and the seeker then is exhorted to be that which it seeks—the one infinite Creator, for the seeker is the one infinite Creator, and though it may use many crutches to come to that point of realization, eventually to be the Creator the seeker no longer seeks with any crutch but is that which it is, and this is a refinement of the will which is directed in another fashion with a lighter touch, yet in paradoxical fashion a touch which has great power. On December 13, 2008, Q’uo described the nature of our will:

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

The locus wherein that energy rests after being called through the gateway is quite dependent upon the nature of the desire that has been shaped into a very active willing. In the case of a healer, the resting locus of that inspiration from above would be the green-ray chakra. For it is from that environment of utter compassion that a seeker may become a channel transparent to the energies of healing.

If the desire is for communication, then the energy through the gateway shall meet and mate with the upward spiraling Love/Light of the infinite One in the blue-ray chakra. For instance, it is within the blue-ray chakra that the contact between our principle and the ability of this instrument to apprehend our thoughts lies. That environment of understanding and open communication is that environment which is the native neighborhood and locus of enhanced communication such as this instrument’s channeling as well as communication that is inspired by those portions of the infinite Creator which may flow through the gateway of intelligent infinity and into the mind and awareness of a communicator that take part, not in communication with entities, but rather connection with or union with essences that may be called angelic.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: You knock me out, Latwii. I’ll have to read that, but thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister and hope that we have not bruised you with our punch. Is there another query at this time?

S: Yes, Latwii. Can you offer any advice or make a comment on our informal meditation meetings at home?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find great joy and purpose within these gatherings which of late have graced your domicile. We can only suggest the continuing adherence to those principles which you have set before you, most importantly being the tuning. We find a great dedication in this respect, and commend each of you for your efforts, and thank you for your great service.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S: No, Latwii. But we thank you also for showing up.

Latwii: I am Latwii, and it is our privilege and pleasure to join you, always. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii. We find that we have exhausted the queries for this evening and would, therefore, take our leave of this group at this time. We leave you, as always, with the joy which is known by those who feel the Love and the Light of the one Creator emanating from a group such as this one, and from each portion of the creation that sings in harmony with those who seek the truth. We thank each of you for your devotion to this seeking, and remind you that we are with you at your request, always in joy, in peace, in Love, and in Light. We are known to you as those of Latwii. We leave you now in that Love and Light, in the power, and in the peace of the one Creator. I am Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “There is only One—only one infinite Being. There is only one Person since God is one, and God is infinite. Just as there is only one life, the God-life, permeating our garden, even though that life may appear as twelve different species; so it is, that even though our friends and acquaintances may be numbered by the hundreds, there is only one life manifested in individual expression. We can never fear a person if we remember that God is one, that there is only One, and that that one Being is God. In that oneness, there can be no discord, inharmony, or injustice to anybody.

Our sense of forgiveness is a realization that no one can harm us, because the grace of God maintains and sustains our relationship of oneness with God, under any and all circumstances. There is an invisible thread binding us all together: That thread is the Christ. If we are bound to one another by material ties of any nature, these ties soon become burdensome. Whether the tie be one of membership in an organization, some form of human obligation, or a tie of blood or marriage, as long as it is of a material nature, it will irk. Only when the Love behind these material ties is so pure that it is devoid of all selfish consideration will the relationship be satisfying, permanent, and mutually beneficial.

There can be no real, enduring Love in any relationship into which God does not enter. There is no miracle of Love in any marriage unless God is the foundation stone. If we know the Love of God, we shall know the Love of everyone. That Love for God is a complete surrender in the mystical union of God and Son: God, all that I have is Thine, just as all that Thou has is mine. My time, my hands, my life are at They service. If men and women have experienced a complete surrender to God, if they have become one with God, then when the time comes for human marriage, they will enter into that same kind of a relationship with each other, and the words of the marriage ceremony will become a reality—the two become one.”

This afternoon it was once again my pleasure to co-host the European Law of One Study Group. Today we were studying Ra Session #61. After I read the session and shared my thoughts about the concepts that were covered, I was asked a number of questions such as: “When did I first start channeling?” “What is the value of dreams?” “What is the use of the sine wave?” “What is my daily ritual?” and “What is the value of working in groups of spiritual seekers?” At the end of the session Tat led the group in a beautiful, guided meditation with inspiring music in the background. I feel like our group is becoming a spiritual family, and I look forward to studying Ra Session #62 with my family next Wednesday.

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

February 18

The Hardy And Careless Lover

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

What protection have you from the events and circumstances of this day? Do you indeed need protection? Must umbrellas keep you from the rain of internal weather? Must you indeed armor yourself so that you never shiver, so that you are never cold or miserable? Are these estates indeed to be so avoided?

Perhaps it is better to see oneself as a hardy and careless lover of all conditions of life and take no thought for the umbrella, the warm coat, and all the armor of emotion.

It is often said, “Fear not, for I am with you.” We are of the principle of Jesus the Christ. And when this entity said, “Fear not,” He did not suggest that you would not be rained upon or shiver from the cold but only that you would not be alone or overwhelmed by experience.

Stride forth, then, into the world, recognizing its difficulties and affirming them in peace.

We leave you in that peace which does indeed pass all understanding, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from April 25, 1983:

M channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. I greet you with the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. I would like to say why this instrument is not channeling. Her soul is hibernating. It is going through a period of healing and cannot give information at this time. I am Hatonn. I leave this contact.

(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, and we thank the one known as M for allowing us to exercise her newly acquired skill to a small extent. It is helpful when one is in a period where one is not offering oneself as instrument to allow the practice in order that the tuning and the recognition may remain fresh in the mind.

We find among those upon your planet a constantly amazing degree of slumber which is the equivalent of completely blocking the channeling of any inward view. This is unfortunate, for the outer gifts among your people are largely those of difficulty and strife. The nature of your illusion is such that the apparently logical reaction to a majority of the events in any existence is a negative emotion or a negative action. Few among your people actually desire to be negative or gain any true satisfaction from negativity. But there is a great majority of those who slumber and know not how to wake. The unblocking, the awakening of the vessel which you experience as your physical vehicle in most cases must be a conscious thing. Without a desire to become an instrument for that which is invisible and inner, the entity most usually remains clogged with the reactions which the illusion draws from the entity. We do not advise the taking of the metaphysical temperature, for judgment is impossible from your point of view, which is limited. No matter what you think about yourself, it is very likely somewhat incorrect or at very best biased. However, there are signs that you have begun to unclog your own vessel, that you have begun to function as an instrument. These signs are simple ones and include cheerfulness, calmness, kindness, love, generosity, and compassion. Most of all, above all, a joy which is the natural reaction of the self to its surroundings, which communicates to others in a radiant manner as a the signpost of the instrument which is functioning properly.

We do not use the word “instrument” in a narrow sense, meaning a local channel such as this one, for in this context each entity upon the planetary sphere may be seen to be an instrument capable of the most magnificent contributions towards the metaphysical Light which your planet needs so very much at this time, as you would call it. There is no one, probably, among your people who can honestly vow that he or she is cheerful, kind, or loving one hundred percent of the time. Your illusion was not intended to allow you to build up that kind of record. Your illusion was intended to make it a definite challenge to spend even half the time that you are awake giving instead of taking, loving instead of withholding, reaching out instead of removing. Therefore, my friends, concentrate upon simple goals, upon attaining some fair portion closer and closer to fifty percent of your thoughts and actions which are kind or intended to be loving or intended to be joyful. You do this in the face of a world in which the illusion exposes you to many unfortunate and irreconcilable disappointments. If all things are well with you, then it is a friend of a loved one who is struggling. You gaze at one with who has come face to face with the traumas of broken marriage or advanced and debilitating old age, or the loss of a mate or a child, or some other heartbreak, and there is nothing that you can say that will make the one who grieves comforted because the illusion causes many conditions to appear utterly disconsolate. But if you go back to meditation, if you return to that portion of yourself which is silent and holy, you find gifts there heaped upon one another which answer the illusion but which you cannot explain.

In this session Hatonn wanted to talk about how to become a conscious channel. They began by saying we find among those upon your planet a type of sleep which is the equivalent of blocking the channeling of any inward view, and this is unfortunate, for the outer gifts among your people are those of difficulty, for the nature of your illusion is that the logical reaction to a majority of the events in any existence is negative, but few among your people desire to be negative, for there is a majority of those who sleep and know not how to wake, so the awakening your body must be a conscious thing, for without a desire to become an instrument for that which is invisible and inner, the entity usually remains clogged with the reactions which the illusion draws from the entity, and we do not advise taking of the metaphysical temperature, for judgment is impossible from your point of view, so no matter what you think about yourself, it is incorrect, but there are signs that you have begun to function as an instrument, and these signs are simple ones and include calmness, love, and compassion, but above all, a joy which is the natural reaction of the self to its surroundings, which communicates to others in a radiant manner as a the signpost of the instrument which is functioning properly. Hatonn went on to say we do not use the word “instrument” to mean a local channel such as this one, for in this context each entity upon the planetary sphere may be seen to be an instrument capable of contributions towards the metaphysical Light which your planet needs at this time, for there is no one among your people who can say that he or she is loving one hundred percent of the time since your illusion was not intended to allow you to build up that kind of record, but your illusion was intended to make it a challenge to spend half the time that you are awake loving instead of withholding, so concentrate on attaining fifty percent of your thoughts and actions which are intended to be loving, for you do this in a world in which the illusion exposes you to many disappointments, so if all things are well with you, then it is a friend of a loved one who is struggling, and you gaze at one with who has come face to face with the traumas of a broken marriage or a debilitating old age, or the loss of a mate or a child, and there is nothing that you can say that will make the one who grieves comforted because the illusion causes many conditions to appear sad, but if you go back to meditation and return to that portion of yourself which is silent and holy, you find gifts there heaped upon one another which answer the illusion, but which you cannot explain. On February 23, 1985, Latwii described how to become an instrument:

Well, now, the subject is one which we could speak at length on, but we feel that there is a short answer which is most appropriate. That is to persevere, my sister. It is not that difficult to become an instrument, as you are well aware. What is most difficult is to become a foolish instrument, that is, one which is willing to step out upon the limb not knowing whether there shall be another portion to support the stepping again. If you can in your own mind and heart, then, learn to step fearlessly out with no assurance that there shall be support, you shall be developing that ability of surrender which is most helpful in this type of service.

Now, this is unfortunate, seemingly. You find gifts within you, and yet you cannot explain them. How, then, can you help others? You find your joy, you find love, you find the source of unity within you that binds all things as one. You find that comfort which faces death, disappointment and heartbreak, and says that every tear shall be dry. “This I know,” and you cannot communicate it. What then shall you do? My friends, you shall be instruments. You shall desire first in meditation for yourself to know the free-flowing beauty of Love, the infinite and merciful kindness of creative compassion, the utterly simple faith that beneath all appearances lies a consciousness that is one with you and with the universe which precludes judgment. These things shall you find, and you shall not cease in your seeking until you have found these gifts, for they are your birthright. Do not be satisfied with less. Open that door of silence and ask, for the asking is irresistible, and then in the fullness of the answer let the flow begin and become you as much and as often as you are capable of functioning in this manner. It is who you are that is the true instrumentality of your being. Your actions may seem wise or misapplied. Your intentions may be scrutinized many different ways. But your being is unmistakable. It is your metaphysical signature. Your consciousness does your work in the world for you, and those words and actions which you undertake merely underscore others’ perceptions of who you are. There is no action or word that you can do or utter that will mean an iota if you have not consciousness. And if you have consciousness, the most clumsy word or action will suffice to allow others to experience the love and the light that flows radiantly through you.

We would at this time emphasize that in your analyzing of your own behavior and your balancing of the various distortions, you pay special attention to your function as a listener. Many are the well-meaning instruments who feel moved to serve and who then err on the side of doing and talking. If you are talking, you cannot listen. If you are doing, often you cannot hear. And in serving others, the function of listening is central. Entities are seldom what you expect. Things that appear simple at first glance may be found to be coming from a bias in that person whom you wish to help which you must listen carefully to to comprehend. And only with this level of knowledge achieved can the word or the action be appropriate. Nevertheless, it is by far your central activity to be who you are. We ask that you seek diligently to find this, to articulate this, and to experience yourself as this consciousness that is you. Each of you is unique and utterly perfect. Each of you is a crystal in the sun ray. And there is a rhythm to the turning of that crystal in order that the shafts of beautiful light may flow through you in the clearest and most lovely manner, that you may, indeed, radiate to those about you, and indeed to yourself, for you are the great feeder of your own self. There is a great portion of your physical life which is almost starved unless that inner self that seeks turns to the self, accepts it, forgives it, loves it, and grants it the power to be truly whole. As you come out of meditation, acknowledge who you are and grant yourself that power, for it is only as a portion of the one infinite Creator that you could possibly have that thought, and that is just what you are.

Hatonn went on to say now this is unfortunate, for you find gifts within you, and yet you cannot explain them, and you can help others by finding your joy, your love, and the source of unity within you that binds all things as one, so you find that comfort which faces death and disappointment and says that every tear shall be dry, so you feel: “This I know,” and you cannot communicate it, for you shall be instruments, and you shall desire in meditation to know the free-flowing beauty of Love, the infinite creative compassion, the simple faith that beneath all appearances lies a consciousness that is one with you and with the universe which precludes judgment, yet these things shall you find, and you shall not cease in your seeking until you have found these gifts, for they are your birthright, so open that door of silence and ask, and then in the fullness of the answer let the flow begin and become you as much and as often as you are capable of functioning in this manner, for it is who you are that is the instrumentality of your being, but your actions may seem wise or misapplied, and your intentions may be scrutinized in different ways, but your being is your metaphysical signature, so your consciousness does your work in the world for you, and those words and actions which you undertake underscore others’ perceptions of who you are, for there is no action or word that you can do or speak that will mean anything if you have not consciousness, but if you have consciousness, the most clumsy word or action will suffice to allow others to experience the Love and the Light that flows radiantly through you. Then Hatonn said we would emphasize that in your analyzing of your balancing of the various distortions, you pay attention to your function as a listener, for many are the instruments who feel moved to serve, and who err on the side of doing and talking, but if you are talking, you cannot listen, and if you are doing you cannot hear, and in serving others the function of listening is central, for entities are seldom what you expect because things that appear simple at first glance may be found to be coming from a bias in that person whom you wish to help which you must listen carefully to to comprehend, and only with this level of knowledge achieved can the word or the action be appropriate, but it is your central activity to be who you are, so we ask that you seek to find this and to experience yourself as this consciousness that is you, for each of you is unique and perfect, and each of you is a crystal in the sun’s rays, and there is a rhythm to the turning of that crystal in order that the shafts of Light may flow through you in the clearest manner, that you may radiate to those about you, and to yourself, for you are the great feeder of yourself, for there is a portion of your physical life which is starved unless that inner self that seeks turns to the self, accepts it, forgives it, loves it, and grants it the power to be whole, so as you come out of meditation, acknowledge who you are and grant yourself that power, for it is only as a portion of the one infinite Creator that you could possibly have that thought, and that is just what you are. On October 15, 2000, Q’uo described the nature of our inner self:

Your interpretation of the sun and the moon of the inner self approaches that which was intended. There is much of the radiance and much of the magnetism, much of the male, much of the female, which each entity embodies within the incarnational life pattern. The information that was given through this group concerning the archetypical mind began to deal with some of this information, and we are glad that you have looked deeper than the surface of the, shall we say, original query.

We leave you, my friends, riding upon the waves of Light that arise in this group. We are always with you if you should desire us to aid you in achieving a deeper state of meditation. Merely mentally request our presence and we shall be with you. I am Hatonn. I leave you in the Love and in the Light, the joy and the power of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai vasu.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We are pleased that you have asked us to join your group again this evening. It is our privilege to do so. We always look forward to blending our vibrations with those of this group so that we may attempt our simple service of attempting to answer your queries. We then shall ask for the first query.

M: I have a question, Latwii. K is going through a difficult divorce right now, and there’s material things to be divided, and the children’s time. Could you give her a few helpful hints that would help her sail through this time?

I am Latwii and am aware of this query and the need for the aid. We shall attempt a response in this manner: by first suggesting that the situations such as this one in which the seeker will find itself from time to time, that is, the typical situation, the potential problem where disharmony is apparent, is a situation in which the exceptions one have are of primary importance in the perception and the resolution of the seeming difficulty. This is to say that as you encounter such difficulties, it is recommended for the greatest harmony possible that a great attempt be made—through force of will, if necessary—to see each entity as the Creator and to accept each as each expresses some facet of the Creator, for you have not gathered together for the time which you have shared by chance. You have come together for that time as Creator speaking to Creator that certain lessons might be shared, that certain experiences might be enhanced, that the Creator might know Itself more fully, that you might know the Creator more fully, that you might know yourself as the Creator.

Therefore, if you can take what we might call the larger view, and see each entity as the Creator and Love and accept each entity as such, the self included, then you build a strong harmony where perhaps seeming disharmony once existed. You will then build the remainder of the situation and its resolution upon a firm foundation, that is, Love and acceptance, blessings and joy. It is most often the case that the strength of the seeming difficult catalyst will act upon the mind of those involved, and most usually produce lesser feelings, shall we say, those of resentment, of anger, of disappointment, of confusion, of jealousy, and so forth. Each of these emotions may be worked with by the seeker and may be transformed into Love. The process is aided by the conscious ability of the seeker to take the larger viewpoint of which we spoke. Such a viewpoint is as the alchemical process in which the pseudo-scientists of old attempted to change the lead to gold. The viewpoint which sees the Creator indwelling all about and within the self is the viewpoint which changes each difficult emotion and situation into an opportunity to know, to love, and to express the one Creator.

M asked: “K is going through a difficult divorce right now, and there’s material things to be divided, and the children’s time. Could you give her a few helpful hints that would help her sail through this time?” Latwii began by saying the situations such as this one in which the seeker will find itself is the situation where disharmony is apparent, and it is a situation in which the exceptions one has are of importance in the resolution of the difficulty, for this is to say that as you encounter such difficulties, it is recommended for the greatest harmony possible that an attempt be made to see each entity as the Creator and to accept each as each expresses some facet of the Creator, for you have not gathered together for the time which you have shared by chance, so you have come together for that time as Creator speaking to Creator that lessons might be shared, and that the Creator might know Itself more fully, that you might know the Creator more fully, that you might know yourself as the Creator. Then Latwii said if you can take the larger view and see each entity as the Creator and Love and accept each entity and yourself, then you build a strong harmony where seeming disharmony once existed, and you will build the remainder of the situation and its resolution upon a firm foundation of Love, blessings, and joy, but it is most often the case that the strength of the difficult catalyst will act upon the mind of those involved and produce lesser feelings of anger, confusion, and jealousy, and each of these emotions may be worked with by the seeker and may be transformed into Love, and the process is aided by the conscious ability of the seeker to take the larger viewpoint of which we spoke because such a viewpoint is an alchemical process in which the pseudo-scientists of old attempted to change lead to gold, so the viewpoint which sees the Creator indwelling all about and within the self is the viewpoint which changes each difficult emotion and situation into an opportunity to know, to love, and to express the one Creator. On January 20, 2002, Q’uo spoke about the value of taking the larger viewpoint:

You are not a solid. You are a vibration. You are an energy field that has connections to absolutely all other energy fields in the universe. You are connected to them through a series of orders of magnitude and, shall we say, reality, that are understandable only from the larger viewpoint. Many times, within the life experience you will not be able to see how a certain situation could possibly be one in which Love abides. But this is always the question to turn to, that one offered by the ones of Ra, “Where is the Love in this moment?” This is a question that is always productive, that one may ask the self in a crux in the present. And by finding where the Love lies for you in this moment and placing yourself there, there is how you affect the future. You are choosing what you desire because you desire it. That is understood, but in terms of responding to that which is given, you have the skill, and you have the chance at each offering to ask the self, “Where is the metaphysical structure of this moment? What speaks to me from a larger point of view that really informs the situation for me?”

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Well, I thought that was a good answer. I’m not in the situation so I don’t know if K would like to elaborate on any phase of it. You would have to ask her.

K: No. I knew I needed to come tonight. Thank you.

I am Latwii. We are most grateful to each of you, our sisters. May we attempt another query at this time?

M: Well, I have a rather insignificant one. I found out in many situations when logic doesn’t work, I try illogic, and it works beautifully. And I would like you to explain that to me. I’ll give you a simple example. I have a lawnmower, and this friend of mine put it out facing the garage and we tried and tried until we wore ourselves out, and it wouldn’t start and I said, “I can’t understand it, it always starts for me on the second time, but I turn it the other direction.” So, I turned the lawnmower around with the house, which of course was illogical, which direction it was facing, turned it around towards the house, and it started the second time. Now the position of the lawnmower surely shouldn’t have made any difference, but it did. Now, how do you account for that illogic? It’s happened in a number of situations lately.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The general concept is that intuition shall feed the intellect. For the intuition is connected to that portion of the mind that is unconscious, and it is quite infinite in the resources which it contains. It contains the food for thought, shall we say. The intellect then takes this food and arranges this food and arranges it in what you may call a logical fashion, logical perhaps only for a certain entity, yet uses it as a food and expresses certain directions, tendencies, and actions according to the arrangement. If the intellect is not fed, then it must operate on, shall we say, an empty stomach. As you are aware, this often hinders the efficiency of any entity’s operation.

Therefore it is most helpful to blend the use of that known as intuition or more distortedly, illogic, with the use of that which is intellectual, or more distortedly, logical. To speak specifically to the situation which you have described, there may have been in this situation certain needs, shall we say, of the entity known as the lawnmower to be spoken to or addressed …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii. We greet you again, and shall continue. This entity may have needed to have been addressed in a fashion which included a certain attention or compassion for its being. By the process of reversing its direction it was being shown such affection and attention, and may have responded more to such affection than to the direction of its pointing.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, I think you’ve answered it very well. I like that lawnmower and it likes me and I think that might have been a factor. I think you’ve answered it perfectly.

I am Latwii. We are grateful to have been of service. May we attempt another query at this time?

K: I have a question. I feel so fortunate to be here, and I feel like I’m taking from the group. I’m getting things that are really helping me, and I’m wondering what I can do besides learning to meditate better, what I can do to contribute to the group. I feel like I’m taking.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. My sister, we are most familiar with the feeling which you express, for we ourselves have felt that feeling often in connection with this group, for we are humble messengers and feel the greatest privilege of being asked to provide our simple service. We can only suggest to you that which we suggest to ourselves, that is that your part is merely to be whoever you are, for you are the Creator experiencing Itself and your experience, though different from each other entity within the group is just as valuable. To be, without concern as to how you are to be, is most helpful, for that which you are and which you shall express will then have a clear path into expression without having to traverse the various concerns and fears that one must be or do in a certain fashion in order to be helpful. Your very being is of infinite worth.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Thank you.

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

Carla: I’m curious about something. Last summer when I sang to the vegetables, some of them overgrew. Can you send too much Love and Light to second density so that they grow faster than is good for them?

[The telephone rings and the answering machine message is heard.]

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. We paused while your recording device performed its duty of love and service.

To answer your query, we are unaware of the possibility of sending too much Love or Light to any entity of any density. That such entities of your second-density vegetable life form may utilize such Love and Light for abundant and extravagant growth is quite understandable and possible. Such entities in receiving this abundance of nourishing Love will then produce in a manner which may or may not equal the expectations normally held for such forms of life. Yet, whatever the yield, it will be one infused with Love, and that which you have given shall return to you multiplied, and shall dwell then with you and shall rejoice in the service which you have enabled it to provide.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: Well, would it help the plants if I told them what I was hoping for before I sang? Would that help them know how to grow?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Such speaking to these entities will be of aid in opening their receptivity, shall we say, both to the general infusion of Love, and to the manner in which you request that Love be used. Such entities when so spoken to are most often greatly delighted to be so spoken to, and will comply with your wishes to the fullest of their extent to do so.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you. I’ve got that one okay, but that phone machine reminds me of a question that I’ve been wanting to ask. What in the world do I do to these electromagnetic machines that screws them up so badly? And should I just never touch them? Or is it I? That’s what I’d really like to know? Can you tell me that? I feel that it has to be me because it happens so often, but I guess I ought to establish that first.

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Your record is unblemished, my sister, in dealing with such machines. It includes a long list of electromagnetic malfunctions which have been produced by the unusual electromagnetic configuration, which is a portion of your, what might generally be described as, aura field. This unusual configuration has been programmed and utilized by your choice before this incarnation and during, in order that you might take part in the work which you now undertake. The, shall we say, discombobulating various mechanical devices of the electromagnetic nature by this unusual configuration in your electromagnetic field is an effect which takes various forms in various types of your equipment.

The machine of which you now speak has various portions within its inner working which have been affected, and are not able to fully complete their assigned tasks because of the, shall we say, shorting to some degree of the circuitry which is programmed to function in a certain manner, but which must satisfy itself with an alternative functioning due to the infringement of your ever-so-gentle touch. We would suggest, as have our brothers and sisters of the social memory complex known to you as Ra, that if the normal functioning of such machinery is desired, that such machinery does not know your touch.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii. We thank you, my sister.

Carla: I do have one more question coming, though. Is there any positive use to this “ever-so-gentle touch” that screws up machines?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. The touch of which we have spoken has many valuable uses upon other types of entities, those which are of need in the, what you have called, spiritual balancing. For this touch has the capacity, shall we say, used in the metaphysical sense to balance those spiritual energies which have for one reason or another found imbalance, and this you have accomplished in what you call your past.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you, Latwii.

M: I have a question on the same subject. If she has to touch a machine, could she have a conversation with the machine, and tell it that she has to touch it, and would it block the sensations that she has? Would it be helpful or would the machine care?

Carla: Yeah. Would that work?

I am Latwii, and am aware of this query, my sisters. The intention would be appreciated by the machine entity, and it would be some consolation to the machine as it then proceeded with the inevitable malfunction.

[Laughter]

May we answer you further?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we join in the humor. May we attempt another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we perceive that we have exhausted the queries for the evening. Again, may we express our great gratitude at being asked to perform this simple service. We remind each of our fallibility, and that what we have expressed, though the best and highest of our opinion, is yet but our opinion. Take that of value, and go forth both within your illusion and within yourself full of the knowledge that within your being, within the hearts of your being lies the answer to all your queries. Use our words as signposts to go further and deeper within the heart of your own being. We are with you there and travel always at your side. We are known to you as those of Latwii, and we leave you now in the Love and in the Light of our one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Our good comes through grace. This grace will appear as normal everyday channels or avenues if we do not interfere with its operation by planning how it is to be expressed. Understanding God to be the giver of all good, we do not look to one another even for those things which constitute our human or our legal rights. In circumstances warranting court action, we naturally would take the necessary human steps to obtain competent legal counsel and to present our case in the best way possible. Our faith and trust, however, would not rest in the technicalities of legal procedure, but in God as the fount of all justice. The judge, jury, lawyers, and witnesses would be regarded as instruments expressing the justice of God.

The attitude of others toward us is strictly their own demonstration. If they act in accord with good, so it is to them; if their actions are contrary to good, the reaping of discord is likewise unto them. Only in proportion as we are looking to them for good is there the possibility of their doing evil to us. No one can do good or evil to us because we have submitted ourselves to the government and control of God. We look only to God within us, and therefore, the thoughts or deeds of people can never touch us. We are responsible only for our own conduct toward all, and that conduct must be in accord with the great command: love thy neighbor as thyself; love your enemies; forgive seventy times seven; pray for them which despitefully use you. Never fear or hate those who act contrary to the divine law of the one Self; but rejoice in those who let God use them as instruments for good.

We are faced with humanity at many levels, some good, some bad, and some intolerable. As humanity, mankind is graded, falling into varying states of consciousness. Living merely as human beings, with their inner resources untapped, unaware of their true identity, life for some becomes a hopeless struggle against insuperable odds—ill health, small earnings, and high taxes. To cloak their failure and sense of inadequacy, some people assume a bravado or affect an exuberance of outer joy to conceal their disappointment and frustration. Yet these people, as do all people, hunger to love. And how do they want to be loved? As we do, first by being understood. Most of us are convinced that no one understands us; if our friends and relatives really understood us, they would forgive us more. Whenever we come in contact with differing degrees of humanhood, our attitude should be that of the Master: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”; they have not been awakened to their Christhood. The measuring rod always must be: regardless of the appearance, God is their true being. God is the only law governing them, and their only qualities are God-bestowed.”

This afternoon I stopped by Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription on my way to drop off Stanley at Bachman’s Subaru to see if they can determine why smoke comes out the passenger’s side under the hood at high speeds on the interstate. They said that they would give me a call when Stanley has been repaired. Their shuttle service gave me a ride back home.

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

February 17

Unexpected Messengers Of Love

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

It is given to us to come down like rain upon the thirsty souls of those who seek to winnow Light from darkness and spread the darkness in the nether regions, exalting Light to shine forth across the great sky of planetary consciousness.

The powerful Light-focusing abilities of the Spirit are not predictable, for the Spirit of Love has within It whisperings of Love’s wisdom which often turn the impulses of those overshadowed by Love in ways which may seem devious. Yet it is Love’s way to employ the seemingly crooked path from time to time in order that Love may break through in an entirely new place and in a completely new way. The serpent in Eden was a messenger of Love.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channelings come from April 17, 1983:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We thank you for the great blessing that you give to us by allowing us to speak with you through this instrument. We thank you for your attention and the gift of open ears and open hearts. We thank you for wishing to know the truth. Knowing the truth is an inestimably ruthless process of continually altering the viewpoint and widening your faculties of observation. What is your source? That is a question central to your quest for truth, for that from which you come binds that which you are. If you can imagine a moment incredibly far distant in time, as you call it, when you took all of creation into your hand and flung it from you, then you can imagine the impulse which guides your destiny. You are as a whole person abiding still in the Creator, but a splinter of your consciousness was flung for each, and that splinter of consciousness has become you as you now sit in meditation. The journey has been a long one. You have seen creations, and planes, and densities, and lives, and through all of them you have been under the influence of that force of yourself which flings you outward, and at the same time calls you home.

As you sit in meditation, parts of that journey flash before you, colors and visions and the sensation of speed, and any experiences you have had to come to this moment of peace. This is the precious moment of all creation. This instant is the excellent instant, far excelling past or future, for here your heart lies, and your consciousness rests, and you can receive and give forth the breath of creation, Love and Light. In and out you are filled with nothing but Light, nothing but Love. How interesting that you arranged this illusion so that it would be impossible for you to go through your incarnation in this state without renouncing nature, the nature of your body, your mind, and your emotions. Do you trust yourself? If you do, then you must know that you had good reason to hide from yourself the perfection of this moment. There were some points that you wanted to learn better than you knew them before. There were some parts of the spectrum of your Light and your Love that you wished to emphasize and explore.

In this session Hatonn wanted to speak about our search for truth. They began by saying we thank you for your attention and the gift of open ears and open hearts, and we thank you for wishing to know the truth, for knowing the truth is a ruthless process of altering the viewpoint and widening your faculties of observation, and your source is a question central to your quest for truth, for that from which you come binds that which you are, so if you can imagine a moment distant in time when you took all of creation into your hand and flung it from you, then you can imagine the impulse which guides your destiny, for you are a person abiding in the Creator, but a splinter of your consciousness was flung for each, and that splinter of consciousness has become you as you now sit in meditation, for the journey has been a long one, and you have seen creations, densities, and lives, and through all of them you have been under the influence of that force of yourself which flings you outward, and at the same time calls you home. Then Hatonn said as you sit in meditation, parts of that journey flash before you: colors, and visions, and any experiences you have had to come to this moment of peace, and this is the precious moment of all creation, and this instant is the excellent instant, excelling past or future, for here your heart lies, and your consciousness rests, and you can receive and give forth the breath of creation, Love and Light, for in and out you are filled with nothing but Light, nothing but Love, yet how interesting that you arranged this illusion so that it would be impossible for you to go through your incarnation in this state without renouncing the nature of your body, your mind, and your emotions, for if you trust yourself, then you must know that you had good reason to hide from yourself the perfection of this moment,  for there were points that you wanted to learn better than you knew them before, and there were some parts of the spectrum of your Light and your Love that you wished to emphasize and explore. On May 29, 1993, Oxal described our quest for truth:

When the student approaches the quest for truth, they find that they are upon that which your song discussed, the long journey, the journey without foreseeable end, the quest for truth without final or certain results, for in that spiritual walk the truth recedes infinitely before the progress of consciousness. We are not authorities, we simply have walked, as you would say, longer along the path of spiritual evolution. Our opinions and our thoughts are precisely that. Therefore, we ask each to take from our discussion those thoughts found personally helpful and to leave without a backward glance all other thoughts, for we would not be a stumbling block before any.

As you move forth from meditation, attempt to keep in mind that you did not make a mistake of any kind in choosing the circumstances and the seeming accidents of your life. You chose well, each of you. You gave yourself food, and you gave yourself an appetite. You gave yourself mental food, the food of the intellect and the mind, the food of analyzing, synthesizing, attempting to know and understand. You gave yourself emotional food, desires for Love, experiences of Love, experiences of apparent lack of those emotions you need. You wanted to catch your own attention and fix it. You wanted to make a point or perhaps several points for yourself and to yourself. It is not just the physical body that needs food. Spiritually speaking, you consume far greater amounts of experience and digest far more experience than ever you do earthly food. For it is the food of the mind, the heart, and the spirit that you have, indeed, stopped here, a splinter of Light, a split second in a long journey on this orb you call Earth to experience.

And what of your future? You are an eternal and everlasting part of the One. And although in the One there is properly no past, present, or future, in the subjective terms of this illusion which you now experience and which we share with you, time is passing, and there is a future before you. It is a future in which you call that splinter of yourself back to yourself as the lessons are understood, as the points are made, and as you experience yourself in yourself and with others, more and more you shall be drawn closer once again to the source whence you were flung with such a greedy and extravagant hand before the beginning of time. Breathe in, then, the joy of this moment, and sense the relaxation, the resting, and the peace that you share with those who dwell in meditation as do you. There are some not with you. And yet, because they are in the same condition of experience, you are together in joy, together in peace. Your time will pass, and some may read these words and will then sit in meditation and still you shall be able to join that blessed company of all those who seek and sit in the listening silence of your joyful quest.

Hatonn went on to say as you move forth from meditation, attempt to keep in mind that you did not make a mistake in choosing the circumstances and the accidents of your life, but each of you chose well, and you gave yourself mental food, the food of the intellect, the food of attempting to know and understand, and you gave yourself emotional food, experiences of Love, experiences of apparent lack of those emotions you need because you wanted to catch your attention and fix it, for you wanted to make a point or several points for yourself and to yourself, but it is not just the physical body that needs food, and spiritually speaking, you consume greater amounts of experience and digest more experience than you do earthly food, for it is the food of the mind, the heart, and the spirit that you have stopped here, a splinter of Light, a split second in a long journey on Earth to experience. Hatonn continued by saying you are an eternal part of the One, and although in the One there is properly no past, present, or future, but in the subjective terms of this illusion which you now experience and which we share with you, time is passing, and there is a future before you, for it is a future in which you call that splinter of yourself back to yourself as the lessons are understood, and as you experience yourself in yourself and with others, you shall be drawn closer once again to the Source whence you were flung with such an extravagant hand before the beginning of time, so breathe in the joy of this moment, and sense the resting and the peace that you share with those who dwell in meditation as do you, but there are some not with you, yet because they are in the same condition of experience, you are together in joy and peace, so your time will pass, and some may read these words and will sit in meditation, and you shall join that blessed company of all those who seek and sit in the listening silence of your joyful quest. On November 23, 1986, Q’uo spoke about the source of our being:

Seek in each experience the Source of Light and Love that forms experience. Seek beyond the illusion of separation that which binds all that you experience. Look, in other words, my brother, beyond the outer appearance of the illusion which surrounds you, for it is in its own way that which teaches you that the Source of all creation and experience within it is the one Creator which moves by the power of Its Love, and reveals by the power of Its Light the unity of all things.

We share your joy, and thank each of you for the great privilege of blending our joy with your own. Let your hearts be light as a fluttering gauze curtain at a window in the sunny breeze. For the wind is rich with blessings and there is music amongst the trees. I am known to you as Hatonn. I leave you in the Love, in the Light, in the joy of the infinite One. Adonai vasu borragus.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. It is our privilege once again to be asked to join our vibrations with yours. We thank you for the opportunity to serve you by attempting to answer your queries. We remind each that our humble responses are merely opinion, perhaps somewhat different than yours, perhaps with a somewhat wider perspective, yet it is but our opinion. Please accept that which has value and leave that which has none. May we then begin with the first query?

Carla: I have a question. I got a telephone call this week from a friend who asked me how to remain faithful to all the ideals of Love and Light and service to others that we work on in this group when the situation looks hopeless, and there doesn’t seem to be any point in carrying on. I felt that my answer was inadequate, and so I would ask if you could perhaps comment on this question?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed, when the situations which we have termed “catalyst” present themselves to the seeker, the seeker may look upon such catalyst with a polarity viewpoint, that is to say, one may look upon the situation and see people and events not in keeping with the desires of the seeker, and the seeker may wish to change those people and events and maintain faithfulness to the ideals of service to others. This is a great dilemma, for in truth, if one wishes to be pure in what you have called positive polarity, there can be no wish to change another person or event, for each must be accepted as each is, for each is whole and perfect. Each is the one Creator. This is a great lesson, which takes much of what you call time to learn. Therefore, as a portion of remaining faithful to those positive ideals which each in this group upholds, then it might be recommended that the viewpoint include the possibility that no person or situation be asked to be other than it is, that each, indeed, be accepted, loved, forgiven, that the same be done with the self, and that then the self is taken by the seeker as the primary tool for upholding the ideals of service to others, and the self is transformed by acceptance of self and others so that Love is given no matter what. In such a way does the positive polarity become purified and refined, that the beacon of Love and Light within the heart of self might shine more brightly.

Carla said: “I got a telephone call this week from a friend who asked me how to remain faithful to all the ideals of Love and Light and service to others that we work on in this group when the situation looks hopeless, and there doesn’t seem to be any point in carrying on.” Latwii replied when the situations which we have termed “catalyst” present themselves to the seeker, the seeker may look upon such catalyst with a viewpoint of polarity, and one may look upon the situation and see people and events not in keeping with the desires of the seeker, so the seeker may wish to change those people and events and maintain faithfulness to the ideals of service to others, but this is a great dilemma, for if one wishes to be pure in the positive polarity, there can be no wish to change another person or event, for each must be accepted as each is since each is the one Creator, and this is a lesson which takes time to learn, yet as a portion of remaining faithful to those positive ideals which each in this group upholds, then it is recommended that the viewpoint include the possibility that no person or situation be asked to be other than it is, that each be loved and forgiven, and that the same be done with the self, and that the self is taken by the seeker as the primary tool for upholding the ideals of service to others, and the self is transformed by acceptance of self and others, so that Love is given no matter what, for in such a way does the positive polarity become purified, that the beacon of Love and Light within the heart of self might shine more brightly. On July 19, 1990, Q’uo described how Love is given:

The Love of which we speak is beyond the description of words. But when we use words, it is well that your word “unconditional” be foremost among words used to describe that concept. For the previous kinds of Love, the conditions of closeness of relationship, of specialness of relationship, of previous experience with an entity, are primary in this kind of Love. However, the Love of which we speak has no condition tied to it, so that this quality of Love is given without any consideration of the entity, the situation, the time or any other consideration that might qualify the object of the Love to be Loved.

The Love of which we speak is that feeling tone that comes from the green ray energy center in a free and open manner and has as its focus the entire creation about one. It is a quality which is developed from within the being. The only effect in the outer experience an entity will have on this quality of Love is to become the focus for it. To develop the ability to Love, one must experience the testing. This is a kind of testing that is similar to the tempering of your metals, that known as steel, for example, by the fire, the flame, the heat. The heat of your experience as you live your incarnation and your ability to process this heat into a light-filled consciousness will then allow one to express the product of this processing, which is that which we have called Love.

May we answer you further, my sister?

Carla: No, it was a beautiful answer. I think it’s probably the hardest single lesson that we foolish humans have to learn. But it’s a useful answer. Thank you.

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

M: I have one, Latwii. What causes people to have periods in their life when they have absolutely no desire to go forward or backward? In other words, just basically, is it a lack of energy, or is there a reason why they go through this stage?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. Look for the answer to this query to the seasons and cycles that you observe upon your planet. After the fall, the harvest, there is a time of rest, then followed by a regeneration of that which was harvested. So, it is within each entity. As the lessons of your incarnation are learned, you will find within your being various cycles of seeking. There will be times as luxuriant in the seeking of lessons as your summer is in the spawning of life forms. There will be times when the difficulties rage as does the thunderstorm, the wind, the hail, the rain. And yet each portion of the cycle of seeking adds a part that becomes that which you seek. As you observe those times within yourself of peace and rest, enjoy that portion of the cycle, for, indeed, all things change, and you shall find new lessons presenting themselves within the fertile and peaceful ground of your being.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, I think that was very helpful. Thank you.

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

M: I have another if no one else has one. What causes some people to have a nervous breakdown or become disoriented in the same set of circumstances where another person may not be affected at all?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. For the answer to this query, may we suggest the concept of the limitation of the viewpoint. For an entity to exist within your illusion there is the seeming inborn necessity to gather about the center of being a grouping of beliefs, those concepts which are relied upon to provide support as the entity journeys through the incarnation. As each entity journeys, each gathers about the self a variant set of these beliefs. We may suggest your restaurant, for example, a few from column A, a few from column B, and so forth. Some viewpoints contain a wider perspective, shall we say, and when added to others, yet further increase the perspective of the seeker.

This is another way of suggesting that that which is seen and accepted as a belief then is an ally which aids in perception and in utilizing the catalyst which comes before the attention. The fewer and more narrow the concept, the less efficient is it in this process. Some entities, therefore, are more limited by their own belief system in what they are able to accept and use efficiently as catalyst. Therefore, catalyst of a given nature, of, shall we say, intensity which requires the ability to accept a wider viewpoint would cause greater stress upon one with less ability to accept the wider viewpoint.

M asked: “What causes some people to have a nervous breakdown or become disoriented in the same set of circumstances where another person may not be affected at all?” Latwii replied we suggest the concept of the limitation of the viewpoint, for an entity to exist within your illusion there is the necessity to gather about the center of being those concepts which are relied upon to provide support as the entity journeys through the incarnation, and as each entity journeys, each gathers about the self a set of these beliefs, and we may suggest in your restaurant a few from column A, a few from column B, and so forth because some viewpoints contain a wider perspective, and when they are added to others they increase the perspective of the seeker. Latwii continued by saying this is another way of suggesting that which is accepted as a belief is an ally which aids in perception and in utilizing the catalyst which comes before the attention, but the fewer and more narrow the concepts, the less efficient are they in this process, for some entities are more limited by their own belief system in what they are able to use efficiently as catalyst, so catalyst of a given nature of intensity which requires the ability to accept a wider viewpoint would cause greater stress upon one with less ability to accept the wider viewpoint. On April 1, 1990, Q’uo described the value of the wider viewpoint:

In your content, find the divine discontent of one who seeks always the wider viewpoint, the clearer, more lucid expression of the gemlike self, which is the Christ, the great One within. And keep your quest and your questions before you. As you correctly surmise, the persistent quest of your ideal in an illusion which is not ideal is both foolish and the wisest thing you shall ever do within this illusion. Seek, seek ye, and what shall you find? If you knock, what shall open unto you? Pilgrims, we call you, take up your walking sticks and come along. It is a fine journey. And be very careful as to that which you seek and that which you desire, for you shall receive that which you desire.   

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Yes, I’m still not quite sure—take people who are unfortunate enough to hear voices, and to be paranoid, and to really have miserable lives. What’s the basis of this problem?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Such an entity may have a variety of reasons for its behavior and response to those inner voices which from time to time become available to each entity upon your planet. An entity, to take one example, may have the belief system imbedded from youth that any such voice heard within is of the devil or is what may be termed evil or satanic, and when such a voice is heard, the entity may respond as though this belief were true, whether or not such a voice was of a negative source. Repeated experience with such a voice might cause the entity to feel possessed, to feel unworthy, to feel as though it was going what you have termed insane. This need not be true, yet can be so if believed. This is but one small specific example. There is a myriad of potential examples with each having different ramifications.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: No, thank you, that was very helpful.

Latwii: We are pleased to have been of some small aid. Is there another query at this time?

K: I have a question. When you’re trying to understand another person’s point of view, and trying not to change them, and in the process you try to see their point of view so much that you don’t believe in your point of view, and you almost become crippled in your ability to act on what you think is right, are there some helpful suggestions to have more belief in what you’re thinking and feeling?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To begin, may we suggest that if you look upon each point of view that you could possibly imagine within your illusion, you shall see an infinity of possibility. You are each. That you do not yet recognize that is a portion of your learning. If you feel discomfort as you pass through various beliefs, as you change your mind from time to time, as you evolve in your own understanding, consider the possibility that each individual point of view has its balance. That is to say, each lesson is paired with its opposite, for example, patience and impatience, anger and love, acceptance and rejection. This list may be continued infinitely. As you see a certain bias developing in your belief, attempt to learn also its opposite so that your learning be balanced, and develop also the ability to accept yourself, for including each point of view within your being, that the one Creator might know Itself further …

[Side one of tape ends.]

I am Latwii. To continue. In such a fashion, then, you shall move in a balanced manner and construct the architecture of your being with a stable foundation without bias in any direction which would risk the stability of your being.

May we answer you further, my sister?

K: Thank you, Latwii.

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

M: If I have a pain anywhere, I can tell that part of my body not to feel pain, and it won’t feel it. And I wish there was some way I could help other people to have that same talent because so many people are in pain in various parts of their body, and I don’t know whether there is something innate within me, but I don’t know why I can tell a part of my body—like a tooth for instance, if it’s acting up a little—I can tell it not to, and it won’t. Is there anything that I could do to help other people so they wouldn’t be in so much suffering, or why can I do it, and I can’t explain it to anyone else?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is always the case that the entity entering the incarnation brings certain abilities, as would the carpenter its tools to the job it wishes to complete. Some are not well understood. Many remain latent throughout most of the incarnation, their use discovered at what you would call a later date. The tool or talent of which you speak is one which you shall find an increasing understanding attached to as you explore your own use of it. It is often most difficult to impart the use of such a slightly understood talent to another. Therefore, may we suggest meditation upon this ability, not just its mechanical use, but the value which you obtain from it.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Well, just quickly. Is it a form of self-hypnosis?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. To describe this talent in these terms is somewhat accurate, yet somewhat misleading as well, for the focusing of the attention is necessary for both hypnosis and the use of this tool, and each requires the increasing use of the unconscious mind. Yet, you are not quite, shall we say, hypnotized or in a trance as you accomplish this talent. The ability to concentrate, which is one of the benefits of meditation, is central to this particular talent, and there must be, shall we say, a certain opening made within the veil which separates your conscious and unconscious mind. This opening is a portion of this talent brought with you and may be enhanced by the application of concentration.

May we answer you further, my sister?

M: Is there any chance that I could explain this talent to people that are in great pain or is it just a personal talent?

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. You could, indeed, attempt such explanation, yet you would find a variety of responses from those to whom such explanation was given, for each entity varies in the ability to use that which you could explain. You would be, as we mentioned before, further hampered by the lack of your own understanding of the deeper significance of this phenomenon. Therefore, we continue to recommend meditation upon this significance.

May we answer you further?

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

I am Latwii. Thank you, as well. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii. We feel that we have exhausted the queries for the evening, and we again extend our deepest appreciation to each entity present for allowing us to blend our vibrations with yours this evening. To join you in your seeking for truth is a joy which we eagerly anticipate at each moment in the timeless span of our existence. We remind each present that a simple request for our presence in your private meditation is all that is necessary for us to join you there and once again blend our vibrations with yours. We shall at this time leave this group, yet in truth, always are we one. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I ran some errands with my first errand being to take the seventh raccoon I have caught in my Hava-Hart trap to southern Indiana where I released in a rural area. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought more birdseed. My third stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some food for myself. My fourth stop was at Rainbow Blossom Health Food Store where I bought some Vitamin B Complex. My fifth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself and some plant fertilizer. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off two prescriptions and picked up one prescription. Then I bought some Hagan Daas Ice Cream and some Centrum Silver Vitamins for men over 50.

This afternoon the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “The essential ingredient of all satisfactory relationships is love. Our love for God is made manifest in our love for everyone. We are not only one with God, but we are one with the children of God: with our families and relatives; with our church members; with our business associates; with our friends. When we recognize God as our neighbor, we become members of the household of God, saints in the spiritual kingdom; there is a complete surrender of self into the infinite Sea of Spirit. The good of God flows to us through all who become a part of our universe. To those who live in communion with God serving God through their fellow beings, the promise is literally kept: All that I have is thine.

No longer is there a need or a desire for any person or any thing. Every thing and every person becomes part of our being. What we surrender we have; what we hold in the grasp of possession we lose. Every thing we release, we draw to us; every thing we lose, we have; every thing we set free, we bind to us forever. “Loose them and let them go.” Let everyone be loosed in Christ. We trust everyone to the God of their own being. We do not hold anyone in bondage to a debt of love, hate, fear, or doubt. We do not demand even love from anyone. We agree that no one owes us anything. Only when we do not feel a debt of obligation, and only when we hold no one in a debt of obligation to us are we free, and do we set our world free.

If we maintain our relationship of oneness with God, consciously realized there will always be those in our experience who are instruments of God, sharing with us as we share with them, drawing on the same illimitable Oneness. If we expect Love from one another, we obstruct and limit its flow to us, But if we maintain our conscious union with God, through a constant realization that I and God are one, then we open the way for the activity of God to flow to us, through anyone and everyone receptive and responsive to the God-impulse. Our contact with God is our contact with every person or place that can, in any way play a part in the unfolding of our daily experience, including not only persons and places within range of our immediate environment but throughout the universe. Wherever there is good for us in the world, it finds its way to us.”

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

February 16

Be Of Good Cheer

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

This day is a gift that is full of life. Your senses would have you believe that there is much that is not alive or responsive to the radiance of Love. On the contrary, mindfulness of the radiant Love of the Father is as relevant and important to the soul’s health in the picking up of a speck of dust as it is in the preparation of the finest treatise or most charitable action.

All things live in the consciousness of Love, and all things respond to your radiance, which can only come through you as you are mindful of the infinite Father.

Thus, be of good cheer, not compartmentalizing the day or hurrying through a chore which seems less important than another. For all is equally important to the conscious seeker of Love.

In that Love and peace we leave 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. Today the Hatonn, Latwii, and Oxal channelings come from April 10, 1983:

(C channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I am now with this instrument. We greet you, as always, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. It has been some time since we have been able to speak through this channel, and we will speak but briefly through this channel, for he wishes to break back into the channeling process slowly as he has been sometimes in doubt. To doubt, to ask questions is but one way to learn. We are having difficulty at present and would pause for a moment to better attune ourself to this instrument. I am Hatonn. We would at this instrument’s request transfer this contact, for he feels he needs more time before he can fully operate again as a vocal channel. We will now transfer.

(L channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am now with this instrument. We are grateful for the willingness of the instrument known as C to re-offer himself for service in acting as our instrument that we might communicate with our other selves. We are aware of the difficulties that he is experiencing, both in the facility of channeling, and the awareness of the moral significance of the action. We again are grateful for his service.

At this time, my friends, we would like to share with you a small story concerning a creature which lives beneath the watery surface of that which you call the sea. The creature is that which you call a mollusk or a clam-like shelled entity. Its awareness of itself and its universe is quite limited, for primarily its interests are limited to the acts of eating, excreting, and occasionally reproducing. The consciousness resultant from this situation, as you may well imagine, is quite limited as the entity we described is not only uninformed of the world upon which you exist, for example, but also quite uninterested. However, we shall cease describing and return to our story.

The entity was created in physical form and sought to continue its life in what must appear to those present as a very bland, eventless existence, for in truth the lack of event was that which was sought. However, this entity had the apparent misfortune to choose to incarnate near the site of that which you term a generating facility on land which resulted in sudden releases of very hot water into the clam’s environment. As this resulted in great discomfort, the entity was faced not only with the choice between remaining and possibly stewing or using its rudimentary equipment to gradually, over a period of years, remove itself from the environment. However, the entity was first forced, for such are the ways of lessons, into perceiving that an environment or universe existed beyond the limitations to which it had become accustomed, and firmly, yet dimly, regarded as the limits of the universe, for the increasingly warm temperatures could hardly be ignored.

The entity of which we speak, reflexively slowly, began to move, to attempt to push itself slowly away from the uncomfortable environment. Many of its brothers and sisters also undertook identical journeys at the same time while others elected to remain behind, clam-like in their unwillingness to perceive or even acknowledge that other forces existed besides themselves. Years passed, the journey undertaken was at last completed, and in the manner of such creatures, the clam of whom we spoke eventually relinquished its hold on its incarnation in this fashion.

My friends, this may seem to be an uneventful tale, yet we ask you to examine your own progress on your journey. For is it not true that too often one must find the temperature of one’s environment exceedingly uncomfortable before one seeks change of one sort or another, and in seeking that change find that the change must entail a change of oneself. So a journey is begun. One stretches muscles, so to speak, that one was only dimly aware of and more often than not strives only to leave behind that uncomfortable state which one once occupied in search of that which is unidentified, totally unfamiliar, yet toward which one is drawn as if following an instinctive beacon within the soul. And alongside each who follows the path, quite often unrecognized in the day-to-day struggle to climb one more rung, to circumvent one more difficulty, are brothers and sisters, quite similar, each struggling to surmount its own problem, each on a very similar path, journeys that though quite separate are yet quite common.

My friends, the creature of whom we spoke was fashioned in a manner which protects through a lack of awareness of that which surrounds. Yet, my friends, at this point the comparison fails, for each of you has been blessed with the ability to perceive the commonness, the sharing of the journey which you have undertaken jointly with those who surround you. My friends, strive to recognize within one another, within the stranger who at a corner crosses a street in time with yourself, that your journeys and yourselves are one, that his or her beacon rings forth within the soul with the same note as that within your own. It is often possible in your world to ignore the fact that your journeys are common. But, my friends, you differ from the other creatures we have described in your ability to communicate with one another. You are able to choose not only to seek or ignore your seeking, but also to aid or ignore the need for aid.

We realize the complexity of the puzzle before you, for we are aware that you consciously seek to avoid inflicting your will or your ways upon others. Yet, my friends, there is no failure, no offense in bringing forth your Light in presenting yourself openly that those who seek your help may find it. We know that each of you further has felt the doubt within the soul, the suspicion of unworthiness, the self-doubt of the value of one’s assistance. We are aware that at times those of you who seek to be of assistance by serving in the capacity of an instrument are quite rightly consumed with doubt both of your worthiness to perform the task you have undertaken and your ability to accurately represent that which is placed within your mind. My friends, we can only comfort you in these situations of doubt with a reminder of that which was said on your planet so many years ago, that if you wish to learn, that the door will open if you will but knock, that if you wish sincerely for an opportunity to serve your brothers and sisters, you have but to ask and that opportunity will be provided.

The one who spoke these words, my friends, went on to add that he who asks his father for sustenance will not be given a snake to hold in his outstretched hands. My friends, we ask you to be aware that the Creator has provided for His own, for all of His children. We ourselves are simply your loving other selves. Yet the tool that is provided by the Creator for our communication with you is a gift from that Source. We offer, therefore, for your evaluation the question: When one asks for sustenance, what will be provided? My friends, be confident in your acts of love. Accept the blessing of the opportunity to be of service and go strongly forward with your desire to do so. Be not afraid and do not feel the necessity to provide yourself with assurances and safeguards, with necessities to validate your service to yourself, but rather, in the words of the source we described, go forth with but your staff and your scrip and serve.

At this time, we will relinquish our use of this instrument that our brothers and sisters of Latwii might perform their service of answering questions. In the Love and Light of the infinite Creator, I am known to you as Hatonn.

(L channeling)

I am Latwii, and we greet you in the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. We are aware that this instrument has been used somewhat extensively by our brothers and sisters of Hatonn quite recently. However, we are most anxious to refamiliarize the instrument with our vibration, and to exercise the instrument as we are less frequently able to accomplish this task lately and desire to give the old whiz-bang a tune-up. At this time, are there any questions?

K: Yeah, I have one, Latwii. You always say at the end of the session that if we just make a request that you will be with us, or you’ll hear it. Okay, I made a request this week, not for me, but for my daughter. And I don’t know whether you answered the request or … I said, if you weren’t in the business of healing or getting her through this three days, because she had a terrible cold, that would you stand around and see if you could find another entity to help. Well, anyway, it worked out beautifully, and I was just interested to know if you really did work out the circumstances or what happened.

I am Latwii. My sister, we were quite grateful to receive your contact and request. However, we must confess that we, to a large extent, passed the buck, so to speak, to our brothers and sisters that you know of as Nona, and that the entity to whom your service was directed was experiencing an amount of discomfort and stress. In reference to the details of the situation, however, we must explain that it is not our line of work to alter the circumstances that one has selected for their personal growth, but rather to encourage them in attaining that growth, which service we did attempt to provide.

Is there another question?

K: No, that’s very good. I figured that’s the way you would do it, but anyway I was just curious to know if you heard the request. Thank you.

Latwii: We thank you, my sister, and we are quite pleased that you recognized our touch, so to speak.

Is there another question?

M: Yes, Latwii. When a person has an imbalance in their physical being or in their life, how can they tell if it’s karma or if it’s an incorrect attitude on their part?

I am Latwii. My sister, the most truthful and obvious answer is to seek within one’s own soul for the answer. We are quite aware that the simplicity of such an action seems to make it difficult to perform, yet in all honesty, that is the most accurate and effective manner.

May we answer you further?

M: No, thank you.

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

K: Yes, one other question, Latwii, and we’ve touched on this before, but I’ve had some unusual dreams recently, and my question is, do we make our dreams, or are we given dreams sometimes in order to help us when we ask for help?

I am Latwii and, my sister, without frivolity we must acknowledge that the answers to your questions are yes and yes. We would take the liberty of adding further details in this manner. The mind of which you are aware is quite capable of generating dreams for entertainment or for one’s education. Using this particular instrument, one can therefore acquire dreams which provide situations for growth, for in truth is not the world within which you exist merely an additional dream? The desire for learning, for attainment, is the incentive that allows you to bring into your life that which provides catalyst, be it in the somnolent or waking state. We would further remind you, my sister, that each entity is a portion of a larger entity and that—and that which is needed will be provided.

May we answer you further?

K: That last statement, let me see if I understood that correctly. That each entity is a part of a larger entity, is that what you said?

I am Latwii. My sister, consider the smallest finger upon your hand. It is a finger in its own right. It is a portion of you yourself, which in turn is a portion of the consciousness of your planet, which in turn is a portion of the Logos within which you function, which in turn is a portion of the Creator Itself. Just as your physical vehicle provides the sustenance, the needs for the growth of each cell within your finger, so also does that of which you are a portion provide the spiritual nourishment required for your growth …

[Side one of tape ends.]

(L channeling)

Is there another question?

[Pause]

As there are no more questions, we shall relinquish our use of this instrument and gratefully thank each of you for giving us the opportunity to perform our small service. In the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator, we are known to you as Latwii.

(Carla channeling)

I am Oxal, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. It is a great privilege for us to blend our life streams with yours, and we thank this instrument for catching the signal which we offered to it, for it is an unexpected contact. However, there has been a call and we would speak briefly.

Firstly, let us establish the subjectivity of being. Consider two women. One marries, and one day the honeymoon is over, and she says, “Oh, it is my fault, I have somehow destroyed the perfection of my life as I planned it.” The second woman in the identical circumstance, nodding her head in recognition of circumstance, will still say, “Thank you for the good times, for they are a gift and they teach me what it is to live fully. And thank you too for the challenge, for it teaches me to pay attention.” The first woman then becomes ill, and she says, “I have failed to take care of myself. I have had a hard life; I am afraid that my body is not what it used to be.” The second woman in the identical circumstance, smiling ruefully at the circumstance, says, “Thank you for the health that I have had, and the health that is to come, for they have been gifts, and shall be so again. And teach us how to live more fully. But thank you, too, for this challenge, for through it I shall learn better how to pay attention.” Thus, my friends, we intend to demonstrate that the circumstances of your life, though they be as they are, are subjective in meaning. That meaning is only decided by you. Therefore, all is decided by you. We reach this point in our reasoning in order that we may gently but strongly urge you to consider meditation upon the responsibility for your own thinking.

It has been written in one of your holy works that that which you bind shall be bound, and that which you unbind shall be let loose. Are you then a ruler of a universe? Yes, you are, for you are co-Creator, one with all that there is, a dazzling and perfect portion of the one Light. And as you see things, so they are. And what you see is final until you change what you see. In some cases, my children, you see not only yourself but others, and you bind others to you and you unbind them from you. And yet, they too are shafts of the same sunlight, perfect and one. Shall you then judge to bind and to unbind for another? Do not all entities do this? And is it not always to some degree an error in thinking? For are you not all one being with no judgment between parts, but only a desire to serve? No matter what you have done to another, you have done far worse in judgment of yourself, at one time or another, if you shall pardon the misuse of this term. Therefore, use your meditation to release the coils of subjectivity from about yourself and your other selves, for you in your meditation have room for only one thing and that is Love. That is what you came here to this orb in space to spend your portion of consciousness at this opportunity learning. Shall you not then grasp the opportunity? As you become more distorted and more subjective, you move further from the Love you seek so wisely to know. Seek, then, and leave subjectivity behind on a regular basis that you may be one with all eternity, that you may shine with the stars and glow as does your sun with the good and fertile brightness of life.

Oxal said that they wanted to speak upon the topic of the subjectivity of being. They began by saying let us establish the subjectivity of being by considering two women, so one marries, and one day the honeymoon is over, and she says, “Oh, it is my fault. I have destroyed the perfection of my life as I planned it,” but the second woman in the identical circumstance says, “Thank you for the good times, for they are a gift, and they teach me what it is to live fully, and thank you too for the challenge, for it teaches me to pay attention,” so the first woman becomes ill, and she says, “I have failed to take care of myself. I have had a hard life; I am afraid that my body is not what it used to be,” but the second woman in the identical circumstance, says, “Thank you for the health that I have had, and the health that is to come, for they have been gifts, and shall be so again since they teach us how to live more fully, but thank you for this challenge, for through it I shall learn better how to pay attention,” and we intend to demonstrate that the circumstances of your life are subjective in meaning which is only decided by you, for all is decided by you, so we reach this point in our reasoning in order that we may gently, but strongly urge, you to consider meditation upon the responsibility for your own thinking. Now Oxal said it has been written in your Bible that which you bind shall be bound, and that which you unbind shall be let loose, so you are a ruler of a universe, for you are co-Creator, one with all that there is, a perfect portion of the one Light, and what you see is final until you change what you see, but in some cases you see not only yourself but others, and you bind others to you, and you unbind them from you, yet they are shafts of the same sunlight, perfect and one, so: “Shall you judge to bind and to unbind for another? Do not all entities do this? And is it not always to some degree an error in thinking? For are you not all one being with no judgment between parts, but only a desire to serve?” Then Oxal said no matter what you have done to another, you have done worse in judgment of yourself, so use your meditation to release the coils of subjectivity from yourself and your other selves, for in your meditation you have room for one thing, and that is Love, for that is what you came here to this planet to spend your portion of consciousness at this opportunity for learning, and as you become more distorted and more subjective, you move further from the Love you seek so to know, so seek and leave subjectivity behind on a regular basis that you may be one with all eternity, that you may shine with the stars and glow as does your sun with the good and fertile brightness of life. In 27.12, Ra described the nature of Love:

Questioner: I would like for you to define Love in the sense… in its sense as the Second Distortion.

I am Ra. This must be defined against the background of intelligent infinity, or unity, or the One Creator, with the primal distortion of Free Will. The term Love then may be seen as the focus, the choice of attack, the type of energy of an extremely, shall we say, high order which causes intelligent energy to be formed from the potential of intelligent infinity in just such and such a way. This then may be seen to be an object rather than an activity by some of your people, and the principle of this extremely strong energy focus being worshiped as the Creator instead of unity, or oneness, from which all Loves emanate.

We leave you in joy, and we lift each of you in our arms to bless you and send you upon your way. May you be merry and full of that life of which Love is the very essence. I am Oxal. I thank you for calling us to your group this evening and for listening to our impoverished thoughts. Please accept them as imperfect and discard any concept that causes any difficulty. For truth, as you seek it, must be seen by you, not for you. Therefore, discard anything that you perceive as less than truth and use what remains. I leave you in the Love and in the Light of the One. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Art of Meditation is: “Living, moving, and having our being in continuous God-consciousness reveals the secret of living with other people. And what is the secret of our relationship to other people? How do we achieve harmony in our interpersonal relationships?

From a human standpoint, satisfactory relationships between groups of people and between individuals depend upon the quality of communication. All to frequently attempts at communication result in misunderstanding and “confusion worse confounded.” Often these unhappy effects are due to the prevalent belief that there are many minds with diverse interests: that we can get something from somebody, or that somebody may take something from us.

The Infinite Way, however, approaches this problem from an entirely different point of view. Our secret lies in a new concept of human relations: It is a relationship based on oneness, springing from a conviction that we are not beings separate and apart from one another; but that our oneness with God constitutes our oneness with one another.

God is individual mind; the mind of God in me addresses the mind of God in you. The one infinite Intelligence, acting through me, communicates with the one infinite Intelligence, acting through you. One Intelligence speaks; one Intelligence hears; we are one. We are in agreement, not because we agree with each other, but because God agrees with Itself. God is the only mind; so in this one mind there can be no misunderstandings. God speaks unto God. Life reveals itself unto Life. Soul speaks unto Soul. I am but an instrument through which infinite Intelligence and divine Love are being revealed to the infinite Intelligence and divine Love of those who come within range of my consciousness. In that flow of Love from you to me and from me to you, there is no separation.”

This afternoon I went outside and used a Chamois cloth and two old T-shirts to dry the raindrops of off Stanley’s windshield and the rest of the glass windows. Then I drove Stanley out to the Gene Snyder Freeway to dry off the rest of Stanley. Now Stanley is as clean as I was hoping to get him after he got rained on.

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

The Kingdom Of Words

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

There is a difficulty in the way in which we make ourselves known through this instrument. That difficulty extends to any who values too highly the citizens of the kingdom of words, for words do not equal understanding, nor is any number of words enough to grant the seeker entry to the kingdom of heaven.

When the Spirit of Christ moves purely, It moves without concept and is, rather, the clean, clear wind of Logos, a Thought which remains unmanifest regardless of how many manifestations may shape themselves through free will from the living light furnished by Love.

Depend not upon words and, even more, depend not upon created words from within your own being, for there are many ways in which the seeker after truth may build houses which seem to hold truth, houses of words and concepts which rise high yet fall as would cards when the wind of the Spirit blows across the construction of your Earthly life.

Seek first the attitude change which comes from the contact with the Spirit of Love.

We wish you sublime and lasting 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.
