Latuii on Confidence
I’m not quite sure what was going on in the world mid-79 that was so alarming—probably the Iran hostage situation—but at a moment when the world is fixed upon a similarly Iranian-focused crisis in our geopolitics, the surrounding context of this messsage on confidence seems fitting. This session says it was conducted at a “Senior Citizens Meeting,” and I’m not sure what that is, but the message here links right up with recent messages about knowing your true self and letting love and service flow from that identity.
There’s also an interesting hint about generating experience that sounds a lot like the moment Ra describes in which a mind/body/spirit complex begins programming its own catalyst and no longer needs random catalyst offered. Now that’s an pre-incarnative activity, certainly, but it makes sense that connecting with one’s core identity allows for that programming to be reaffirmed if a seeker consciously pursues learning and growth rather than receiving it as a by-product of a mundane life. This isn’t very novel, but I find it quite interesting that those of Latuii mentions how helpful this can be to the world situation.
At times like this, when the flames leap higher and higher and the fire spreads, it is a dang useful clue to be reminded that, no, even though the imbalance is reflected out there in the world, its true source is within us. We can do work to bring peace within and thereby that sympathetic vibration contributes to the overall attitude. It is a far, far more serious and important responsibility that dwarfs those we have as citizens of a country.
As we look at the vibration of your world at this time, we are sure that you are aware that we are seeing a darkening of the vibration, due to an increase in negative emotion felt among your peoples toward each other and even toward themselves.
It has sometimes been said that ignorance is bliss; this is a saying among your peoples. And when you are dealing with a spiritual journey, this is very true; for knowledge carries with it a great responsibility. That which is known and not practiced reflects itself upon the knower, so that he must again know that which he has already learned. This is the price of knowledge, my friends-—that you practice what you know.
You need several ingredients in order to be able to do this well. In meditation you can deepen several of these ingredients. The first and most important is confidence—the kind of confidence that comes from knowing who you are. Have you ever, my friends, in meditation felt all the parts of yourself finally come into alignment with your highest goals and your deepest beliefs? By centering yourself in meditation, by finding that within you which vibrates in love and seeks the light of the Creator, you can find a quietness and a peacefulness that you can then use in the somewhat hectic and chaotic world that you find about you.
It is true that not all of your problems are large. You do not have to decide the fate of nations, but your vibration on an individual basis is as important, as vital, and as necessary to the salvation of your planetary consciousness as is the vibration of kings and heads of state. You do not move armies with your commands but can you command yourself? My friends, this is perhaps the hardest thing to do of all the tasks that you have been given in this experience. So many things occur which cause you to lose yourself; and instead, you act in a way which you yourself would not approve of, were you in control, were you conscious of your behavior.
As you come out of meditation, then, this confidence that you have gathered therein becomes your armor, …and it is as though you are wearing a cloak of light through which no negative vibration may pass. Thus, you do not need to react to irritating, angry and other negative statements from others. Circumstances cannot penetrate the confident one who moves in power. This confidence is, indeed, the most important benefit which you receive from meditation.
There are others, and you may find them as you proceed along the path of seeking. You may find yourself deepening as a person, becoming more able to understand the problems of others and finding that you are an ear, which is requested many times by others, for they sense in you a deep understanding. In this way you are of service to your brothers and sisters. You may find the gift of laughter, which is not easy to come by in a daily life which can be so easily filled with difficulties. As your character grows deeper and your knowledge more centered, you begin to see the divine comedy of your existence—–the delightful balance of lessons and experience. You cease looking for happiness, and you become divinely happy, whatever your circumstances may be. In short, my friends, you slowly become a generator of your own experience rather than the recipient of other people’s experiences of the world view, which is so often negative. In this way only can you aid your planet at this rather dark hour.
