Coming off of this past weekend’s Richmond Meditation Circle 2026 Invitational gathering, I’ve been highly motivated to keep the momentum of community up, and have been working my butt off on online tooling to do just that. It’s highly likely that channeling circles adhering to our protocols are starting to pop up, and we need infrastructure to keep our seeking coherent and ensure a critical review of all these messages and the tools of communication to keep this critique sweet and loving. So instead of writing posts like these addressing my fellow seekers, as I should be doing, I’m talking more with AI agents and working out technical issues. Hopefully I’ve gotten back to the real work now.

This message from Latuii is encouraging to me because not only does it deal with human life and the kind of perspective on it they can so generously and helpfully offer, but it seems to me very, very close to the Latuii we encountered collectively on Saturday. Unlike our work, however, those of Latuii seem to range over several topics at a screaming pace. I wonder what contact felt like in those early days, never having the singular focus o f a group question, switching contacts several times in a sit.

Because there’s so much here, it’s difficult to excerpt. I encourage you to read the entire transcript. They start off with some dietary thoughts that I think are pretty bog standard for seekers in the Confederation tradition at this point, and then get into the kinds of exhortative advice that I find so charming and infectiously positive. What I love about their messages is their continued insistence that this is all very simple, it’s all very straightforward at the end of the day from the 30,000 ft view, but that none of that makes it easy.

Finally, there’s the “life is a cartoon” metaphor that Carla’s contacts will bring up from time to time, last encountered here and here. I find the metaphor captures a kind of flatness and superficiality in our experience that, without the experiences of cultivating an inner life that reaches outside the personality, can be so ennervating as one gets older and the days go faster. It is as if those of Hatonn and Latuii offer the advice to experience human life a tiny bit the way they do, or the way the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise experiences a new culture on a new planet. This observation from a position of remove seems to recapitulate a crucial premise of the illusion that the Creator engaged to learn about Itself.

And yet because quotidian life can be so cartoon-like, demanding our attention on its shallow surface, it sets us up to be struck by lightning, the sudden insight, the flash of awareness, the Creator’s disclosure of Itself on Its terms, not ours. Only a seeker who keeps the watch, refusing to lulled to complacency by the details of life, will be ready – and more, will position themselves for this revelation.

There are many ways of living, both secular and spiritually-oriented, whose ethics are very strict and abstemious. My friends, we say again to you [that] you were born into this experience with a physical vehicle. It is a tool. When you consider how to use it, attempt to use it with purity, with love and with no degradation to the Creator within.

We ask that you keep considerations upon this level. In other words, my friends, we are trying to cut through a great deal of dogma, as this instrument would call it, that has grown up about what might be termed the spiritual trip. You must avoid mystiques, avoid the appearance of wisdom, for my friends, in reality you do not have wisdom, the Creator is wisdom and, insofar as you realize your part in that perfection, you are wisdom.

But you are as wise as a grape or a mountain or the sea. Would, my friends, sometimes that you were as quiet, as beautiful, and of as much service to others. You know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, we are sure, that because you have chosen consciously to follow a spiritual path, you are different. We have spoken of this many times, as has our brother Hatonn, and our brother [inaudible]. However, my friends, that difference is that you have become a servant, you have become a fool, you have become the one who forgives when, to the eyes of the world, there is no forgiving. You have become the one who, when there is no hope, still has faith of things unseen.

Be triumphantly foolish, my friends, and let any reputation that you may have be a lost possession, for that, my friends, is a lost treasure and a false friend. We ask you to remember what a teacher known to you as Jesus suggested to his disciples: “Go forth,” he said to them, “with one robe and one pair of sandals and offer yourselves to your neighbors along the journey and, if they welcome you, give them of your substance, of your thoughts, of your love. If they do not welcome you, move on.”

There is no room in those instructions for self-justification—or even a suitcase, my friends. We realize, in this day and age, your illusion has become more complex and more things are considered necessary for the simple life than were considered necessary two thousand years in the past. But as we speak about the physical plane and its influence upon your spiritual journey, we can only echo the words of one of your great writers: “Simplify, simplify, simplify.”

You will, my friends, make mistakes. Remember you are fools. You will misunderstand situations, you will attempt to be of service and find that you are not truly of service, you will be too warm-hearted or too cold-hearted, and you will learn. But if you desire to be of service to others, and if you then remove from your mind the paraphernalia of excessive, complex rules and regulations, and follow instead the simple lines of purity of spirit, of honesty and love, and of totality in desire to know the Creator and to serve Him wherever He may be, then, my friends, whatever mistakes you make, it shall make no difference.

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.

Picture a seesaw, my friends, opinion on one end, experience on the other. There will come a balance when experience has informed opinion and a lesson has been learned. Coming to that balance may be difficult or painful, but you must remain true to the effort to balance your seesaw until your experience has been met with understanding. At that point, it is time for you to take a new direction and the more sensitive that you are to your inner self, the more able your mind will be in aiding you in discovering the new vector, and then you will climb upon another seesaw, and you will have trouble and you will learn.

It is very difficult, my friends, to learn if you do not have trouble because it is difficult to get the attention of those within the physical unless they have some stimulus. Difficulties, problems and troubles are the way that this incarnation which you have chosen works in order to give you the lessons that you need. Let your mind analyze the material which you meet, let it find the balances, and let it choose the new experiences with an eye towards enhancing your own understanding and that of those around you.

The emotions, my friends, we must only give a profound but simple bow to, for they are the purest thing in your density. Attempt, then, not to have mixed emotions but to have each emotion in turn purely and beautifully, little by little, extinguishing the fires that burn out of control in anger and negativity, little by little discovering the beautiful rainbow of colors of emotions that are positive.

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.

There is only one catch to all this, my friends, one thing to keep you from falling asleep while we talk philosophy, and that is the uncertain nature of the spiritual path. You must see this path as a great cartoon: there will be many blank squares and then in one square there will be the Creator, and you will find enlightenment. Shall you be asleep when that edition of the funny papers comes to your house? Yes, my friends, it is an illusion but the Creator is hidden and He will pop in on you if you are awaiting Him. Therefore be ready; be ready daily.
