In this session, the focus falls less on technique than on awareness of the operation of consciousness. If all is one and all is love, then what is it that stimulates, inspires, and disturbs us arising from without and impinging upon the “self” we cling to – that self mostly simply defined as the part of the creation within the boundaries of our skin? We can speak of the material effects and material goals, but Latuii reminds us that these are running dogs for much deeper forces at work. In fact, they seem to suggest that the conduct of an individual mind/body/spirit complex within the veiled illusion is almost a kind of trick, a means by which we can experience the infinity of love’s forms not as a way to distract us from the underlying love so much as a way to experience it counter-intellectually, viscerally, and emotionally.
This is another reason why meditation is so salutary to the seeker’s awakening to this underlying love: it places the intellect in the proper relation to it. The immediacy of experience conveys aspects of love that perhaps do not stand out when holistically perceived; only in the light of the moon, so to speak, do certain qualities come into view. However, it is the love that is the subject, not the illusory distortion that brings this love into novel recognition. Much of what I’ll be trying to dig into in the next few days or weeks revolves around techniques and approaches with which one can work with the radical novelty of love’s full spectrum filtered into the illusion, and so perhaps this couldn’t be a better introduction.
However, keep in mind the core thesis: it is all love, and it is for that reason that we stand as gatekeepers to its ingress and egress. Every sensation we receive bears the hallmarks of this love; every reaction or response we issue reflects our recognition of this love. And when we go about attaching importance to the details of this playing out in our lives, we are perhaps attempting more and more to cultivate the awareness with which we apprehend that love rather than simply getting better at saying “yes” to nice things and “no” to unpleasant things.
]]>We were aware of your chanting this evening as you polarized yourselves toward the unity of God. In the religion which fostered the birth of that (inaudible) a central prayer is the prayer, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is One.” Listen, my friend. What can you hear? This instrument can hear voices, birds, the humming of the machine. That is one way. What can you feel, my friends as you enter into meditation? You feel a fullness enter (inaudible). All of you are One. Here are One. What can you see with your eyes closed? It is not the invocation of the light, but the one light, my friends, the light of love. See, my children. The light is One. You are the gate through which all of these things pass from the outside to the inside, from the inside to the outside. That is your true position within this illusion. You allow in what you choose, you allow the manifestation of what you choose.
Now, my friends, let us consider all of the great serious issues of the past (inaudible). What of that great reputation that you had hoped for, what of your good looks, what of success, what [of cutting the grass right,] what of doing the right thing? Let us consider all these things and then let us consider (inaudible).
We are all one, my brothers and sisters. Cut your grass, pursue your goal. It is for this that you came into this environment, to attach importance to the simple doing day by day. The importance must be attached to the awareness that you have in the doing of it. Are you aware of the unity and the love involved in what you do? When you take out your garbage, my friends, when you flatter your boss, my friends, when you are angry at someone, you are learning spiritual lessons. But not from garbage, not from your boss, not from anger—from the love that in its infinite wisdom created you in individual consciousness, able to choose one gate that you would open from the outside to the inside for the inside, from the inside to the outside.
Your consciousness, my friends, is a permeable membrane. It can keep nothing out that belongs to you. And what you create within you cannot be kept from manifestation. So we ask you to turn your heads away from ambition, from pride, towards love and the oneness that links you to your brothers and sisters, to the world in which you live. It is very difficult to do these things on your own. It is even difficult to do them with us, and it is certainly (inaudible).
However, my friends, (inaudible) is ever near to the seeker. The help lies within the seeker and the method used to discover this source of love is meditation. In quiet, simple meditation, when used on a daily basis, will do more to center and untangle your thoughts than any amount of self-understanding, self-analysis, or intellectual decision, for there are many parts of yourself that are not intellectual but which belong in the decision-making process. In the processes (inaudible). These parts of you dwell beneath the totally conscious, totally articulate self and to meditate is, among other things, to get back in touch with those different parts. There is much more to meditation than this, but this will be discovered as progress in meditation continues by each person who on a daily basis seeks the Creator (inaudible).
We realize that we do not have as articulate a way of speaking as our brothers of Hatonn, who, by the way, send you all of their love. But we can only emphasize to you that although your world seems complex and your actions in it therefore also complex, reality is in fact a very simple thing, consisting completely of the love of the Creator which has formed from light all of the vibrations of being that manifest of their magnetic field in your illusion. Thus, we welcome you in love and light and we leave you in love and light, for that is all that there are. Two components which are, in fact, one, for love is light. Light is simply the vehicle through which love manifests itself.
So, the next time that you become angry, remember that love has become angry with love. We will allow you to draw your own conclusions about [love].
Here’s a short excerpt from the same 1980 session as last post hinting at how this works for wanderers, e.g. those from higher densities who assume the veil for the purposes of incarnating into third density to serve and grow without conscious awareness of their pedigree. The concept of the wanderer doesn’t really make sense at all unless there is more to the self than its conscious side. This is why meditation is the best training for service: it gets you in touch with this side such that you can make free will decisions that act upon information you cannot possibly obtain consciously (hunches, intuitions, past life memories) while also helping you use the third density experience to further learn about yourself and make polarizing choices.
Note also that simply accepting one’s feeling of displacement is important for the wanderer. I wonder if this confirmation and comfort from complexes like Latuii isn’t a signficant part of a wanderer’s “activation.” Imagine being a plumber and not knowing it; everybody’s coming to you with all these problems and you have no idea why. Somebody tells you you are a plumber, you have the training, you just don’t remember. It’s not necessarily good news, but it at least explains what was once pure chaos. And who knows? You might pick up that wrench and something comes back to you…
]]>You are coming in contact with your teacher, who has been dealing with you for some time. Your lessons do not have any connection with your physical life in this density, at this time, rather, with the continuing evolution of your true self in its whole capacity. This part of your education is something that you could not do without. Nor could most of those who are called “apples” or “wanderers” by this instrument. The vibrations of your adopted dwelling place are such that it is very difficult for most of you to receive consciously the continuing lessons that you desire in your spirit self. Therefore, they must take place when your spirit is released through sleep.
Does this answer your question, my sister?
Questioner: (inaudible)
Latwii: No, my sister, that is not precisely the reason for the separation. You were brave and desired to help the planet in which you now dwell. However, you were extremely reluctant to leave the very concentrated study, it was your whole existence previously. Thus, you did not invest your Earthly personality with a giant helping of your true personality but reserved a generous portion of it for continuing your study. This has caused you to feel as you described.
The possibility of uniting the astral or ethereal self and the S self, as you may put it, is quite good and would only require that both the S self and the astral or spiritual self requested the adjustment. However, we find that you are doing very well in aiding the planet, just as you intended. And therefore, any changes that you make in your personality are entirely up to your own personal discretion. For you are doing what you came to do. And, we realize, that is your answer.
Does this aid you, my sister?
Questioner: (inaudible)
I am Latwii. We believe that you are describing the sphere known as Earth [inaudible]. We have to agree with you. It is a difficult place at best. Now, let us seriously address your question.
As we said before, there is no need for you to feel that you are shirking your responsibilities to your adopted planet. For you have invested your personality with a tenacity towards helping the planet. There is nothing lacking in that part of your personality. Also, you have not cut your ties with your teachers but are continuing your education. This was a prerequisite to your coming here, for you could not have survived or you could not have taken the vibrations. Therefore, your fears are groundless. And you do not have to feel guilty about yearning to go back home. For you have made arrangement to bring a little bit of home with you. And we repeat, those who are fond of the man-made creation upon your planet are either not paying attention or are somewhat negatively polarized.
You have a beautiful sphere upon which to live in. It is unfortunate that the entities upon that sphere are not as beautiful in their manifestations of love and service to others. We would find it very, very unusual that a wanderer could feel at home in such an atmosphere. The instrument through which we speak, for instance, has never been able to live well in this atmosphere of distrust and hostility and the vibrations have affected her body, although her spirit is very brave.
The one known as B is the most serene soul of the three of you. However, she too would give anything to be at home again. Therefore, rest easily, for each of you having made the sacrifice and followed through with your decision are doing what you came to do. And there is nothing more to be said and not guilt to be felt because you do not like some of the excesses of negativity in this sphere. We ourselves have spent most of our time working in the inner dimensions and (inaudible)…
]]>My friends, we ask you at this time to look at the road ahead of you and accept it with joy. You do not know what the road will bring. It bends, it curves, it will have branches; accept it now. When you have eased your mind, then you will be able to be free in the present moment. We are aware that you are becoming conscious of the times to come. Those are parts of a road that has not yet turned up in your experience. We ask that you experience the road of today.
Your people are very nice for the most part and sincerely want to help, but they are very serious. And we feel that healing lies in a true understanding of joy. If a person has never felt joy it can cause tremendous damage, for it is a profound emotion. You will find people who have been overjoyed in tears very often. For this is the expression among your peoples of sorrow and yet it is also the expression of joy. That is how unused your people are to joy.
We ask you to remember your heritage. Invest this portion of your [life] with the full power of yourselves, for you are joyous people who dwell on a sad, dark planet. There is no need for you to hide, as your holy work says, your life under the bushel. In whatever your situation, be yourself. And in being yourself, your joy will flow from you like wine from a new bottle, for each of you has within you the spring of eternal joy. We do not understand why you allow so many insignificant details to clutter up the mind and keep you from radiating this joy. You are aware that this is your primary function in altering the planetary consciousness. And yet it is a continual difficulty within each of your lives to allow the minor difficulties of the day to be as they are and to allow your native joy to shine forth.
We ask you to consider how you feel, each about the other. Each of you finds the other to be beautiful and joyful and most adored. If all of you feel that way there must be something to it. Therefore, we ask you to have confidence in yourself as well as in each other.
First, Jim McCarty made his first appearance in the archive last session, I believe. In fact, within a few weeks he’s channeling Laitos! As you can tell from the early archive, Carla’s protocols evolved quite a bit after the Ra experience. Jim strikes me as one of the few people who learned channeling in the more relaxed and everyday manner who stuck with it. I mean, if my friend brought through sixth density trance contact in less than a year after I was exposed to this conscious practice, I’d be sold too! But it’s worth noting his questions tended to be of the same caliber as other attendees; what he brought to the table was not easily evinced in the transcripts, I find it safe to say.
Second, notice that Latuii uses a phrase that Ra will reiterate and Carla’s Q’uo will often reference: the old “two by four to the forehead” metaphor for getting one’s attention. I don’t bring this up to undermine the originality of Ra’s message so much as to show how earlier conscious contact enabled Ra, gave those of Ra elements of understood context with which to work. It’s rather worth noting, if you ask me, that the forehead has signifiance not just as a target for assaults; it’s a crucial energy center for spiritual growth. There might even be be significance to the numerals two and four in this rubric, but I leave that to the reader.
The key point is to see how our catalytic experiences set us up for future awareness and service. This set up is not something we have to digest intellectually; in fact, I get the distinct hint that it is in the emotional and abstract engagement with these memories that we as waking selves “load into RAM” our programming. You would think this programming before birth would load the entire program at once into us if it so carefully written; instead, it seems like life itself bears out the sequential triggering. An important element of our lives to keep in mind, redounding no less to the mysterious nature of the personality’s role in this evolution.
]]>M: I have a question. Since I was a young age, I felt I saw a UFO. Can you tell me why I have been searching ever since then? I have studied and tried to understand what it was that I saw and the related fields that I studied. Can you tell me why, or what, lies in the future for me? Why the purpose besides trying to get people more awake to the greater? But I feel I’m singled out.
Latwii: I am aware of your question, my brother. Much of it we cannot answer due to the necessity for your will to be free, However, you answer your own question. If you have not thought it through, I will attempt to help you. You are not to help others, given the phenomenon you describe, but did it not awaken you? What, my friend, is the purpose of what this instrument would call the two-by-four applied to the forehead of the mule, is this not to get his attention? That is why we are here. We are attempting to engage the planetary attention and to, shall we say, give a soft sell, that is not provable but is subjectively available to the people, that will catch their attention and make them begin to seek. That is the reason for this experience, my friend. Your life experience has to do with your evolution as a spirit. You now have your attention upon this fact. Do you now see the place of that experience in your early life, in what has happened to you subsequently?
M: Yes.
Latwii: Does this answer your question, my brother?
M: Yes, it does, but I feel that, could there be another reason besides [inaudible]. Do you understand?
Latwii: We understand what you wish to hear but we will not speak what you wish to hear. But rather, admonish you to remember that the creation waits for no man. Nor should man wait for the creation. You are a part of all that is. That which you do is a part of all that is. Each of those who sit in this circle has a purpose in life or perhaps more than one purpose in life. And the road upon which that purpose lies is a many-branched road, so that you cannot stray from your purpose. You can take a longer or a shorter road. You can only go slowly or quickly or sit down; the purpose remains. However, the purpose of each of you is simple, my friends and has to do with knowing the love of the Creator. As our brother said earlier, once you have established contact with the Creator and the creation, you are then one with the flow that will bring to you that which you need, and will give you the opportunity to do the work that your higher self has prepared for you. Thus, worry not about your purpose in life, but instead, desire to know love. And in that love, to share that love with others. In this way alone will your purpose become evident and its termination final. Does this answer your question?
M: Yes.
Indeed, I was reminded that, for yours truly, the struggle for freedom, justice, and equality has always been motivated by more than mere idealism. In many ways, it is scratching an ancient itch for conflict, to have the kind of decisive confrontation that tends to settle the matter one way or another. It might even be described as a death drive, a craving for finality, and thereby a way to scream out in my rejection of the shackles of that for which we settle. And yet, here I remain – not in a collective utopia, no martyr to a glorious cause, but lingering in this fallen and troubled world as fettered as any.
Reading this passage from Hatonn this morning helped clear my head tremendously. Freedom is not out there. At the top of the pyramid of wordly power, if one is not oneself, one is a slave. But if one languishes in a cage as one’s authentic self, there is no greater release. It is a release from the burden of having to manufacture and reproduce a self that responds to the world. This is the power and promise of the instrumental human: one who has gone beyond the yellow ray identity to tap into that endless spring of love.
A person can only truly serve in love once they discover for themself precisely how little they have to offer as a person as such. But if one’s freedom arises from abandoning the responsibility of footing the cost of freedom oneself, it nevertheless confers a greater responsibility to yield one’s service to the power that does pay the bills. In surrending the self, the personality, even the worldly ambitions to the Creator’s inscrutable ends, one gains everything. In the Creator is freedom precisely because in the Creator there is infinity, and the nickle and diming of the world can be transcended.
Let us also set aside this idea that we cannot let go of the personality because others need help. Others need the Creator. They don’t need us personally. We don’t even need our ego identities except as an instrument, not as a conductor. Far from a surrender in abject poverty, it is a relaxing into the authentic wealth of existence, one in which a greater end comes into view not as a result of looking further so much as of letting our heads be turned slightly to see what is already before us.
]]>I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. It is a very great pleasure for us to be with you again. We have missed our chances to speak with you very much. But we are afraid that at your present level of planetary intensity of political feelings we may well be absent from time to time, as you would say. We come to you upon the winds of love and are very honored to take a small part in your meditation. This evening we would talk to you of freedom, my friends.
There was once a young man who desired freedom, for he was a young man of great sensitivity. And when he saw the poverty, the hunger, the suffering in the world about him, he could not understand how these people could be bound to their suffering. This young man spent years working actively to alleviate suffering and promote personal freedom for his brothers and sisters, wherever he found the need. But ultimately he was betrayed by his own bitterness, for he knew that no matter what he did, it would never be enough to alleviate prison, which hunger and poverty had caused for so many upon your sphere.
And so he set all his daily work aside and went upon a journey, to seek an understanding of the reason why men must be bound by suffering, and why they could not be free. And he asked many people and received many answers. For there are those who believe many different things upon your planetary sphere, my friends. And each of those believes that they are the percipience of the truth. Some believe there is no such thing as freedom. Others believe that some must pay a price and are bound by their own previous errors. But with none of these answers was he satisfied.
One day he stopped upon an isle, for his ship needed supplies. And he was free to roam about this small tropical place. And he saw poverty again and conditions which were not conducive to health. And he found a native upon the island who spoke his language. And he told this native of his great dilemma. The native was a large man and his laugh was equally loud. And his laughter rang through the small room in which they sat. And the native man tapped his forehead, “Freedom,” he said, “Here is freedom, nowhere else.” And the young man cried, “But what about all of those who are starving, or ill, or poor?” And the big man reached out and tapped the seeker upon the forehead, “Their freedom is in your head,” he said, “You must let them go, then, their freedom will be in their heads.”
My friends, you do not live in an objective universe. All those things which you see about you are in fact not what they seem, as you are well aware. Any limitation which you might experience is a limitation only because of your perception of the way things should be as opposed to the way things are. If you desire to be what you are, and if in that being you discover that you seek the truth by nature, then, my friends, you will have achieved a type of personal freedom that is not known by those who are swayed by their perceptions of what should be but is not.
If you are fully grounded in your knowledge of who you are, then, my friends, you are free to fulfill your desire to know the truth and to express that truth in any way that you may need. There are as many different works as there are people. The great secret, my friends, is that there is only one spirit, and that is love, that provides all works for all people who dwell in love. If you try to change the world, if you try to help others, if you only modestly try to help one person, and try to do it upon your own, thinking and puzzling and perception, you will almost surely fail. For your perceptions are not their perceptions. And indeed, my friends, unless you allow yourself to flow into the channel of love, your help will often be unpalatable to the ones you seek to help. You are free only when you snap the cords of your own desire to be somebody in this world and to do things in this world as your own person. When you have accomplished the dismantling of your desire for reputation, then, you have no more bonds or limitations and you are free.
There are still those who are hungry, who are poor, and who suffer. This is so, my friends. We would never attempt to cause you confusion by stating that we do not know that your planetary influence is a difficult one. But each man is free if he desires to be. And you yourself are free of whatever limitations you may chose to have brought upon yourself [in] the moment in which you allow yourself to be one who desires to know the truth, one who seeks to know the love of the Creation, for this love, my friends, is a very powerful thing. Those who need you will be drawn to you, for you are not responsible for the world. You are responsible for yourself and in yourself dwells the world. Those who are drawn to you will ask and as you open yourself to love, you will know that which is of help. We urge you never to volunteer esoteric information to those who have not asked, nor to withhold it from any serious student.
But pay attention, my friends, always, to the only person who can be free, and that is yourself. A desire for freedom is an impossible desire, for you dwell in the prison of a body, of a gravity well, of an illusion that is heavy. And yet, you are willing prisoners of the catalyst of the experience of this planetary sphere. The way to freedom lies in accepting the conditions of your particular incarnation and in asking to know the truth. It is written in your holy works, my friends, “Seek and know the truth, for the truth shall make you free.” Freedom does not come without a commitment, not to self, not to what you would call ego, but to the truth and to service in the name of that truth.
We are aware that you have a great desire to be of service and that you feel a responsibility to your kind, especially in these days that you face now in the unfoldment of your planetary experience. But, you must work on yourself, and know that as you achieve a state of true desire to know the love of the Creator, a burning desire to feel the spirit of that love which created you, you will then find all else that you seek added unto you. It is not an easy path, my friends, but it is a fruitful one.
…
Therefore, my friends, we ask you to be at peace with the world as it is, knowing that it is in each man’s grasp to perceive his world in any way in which he sees fit. This is difficult for you to imagine, for you have never starved or suffered in the way some of your brothers and sisters have. But you must take stock of how you came to be where you are, what advantages this has given you as a channel for the love and the light of the Creator. And then you must seek to do the will of that love that created you, and set you in this particular place at this particular time. We all, my friends, have work to do. Ours is to be available to you and to those upon your planet who desire or require our love. Yours is whatever you make it. For indeed, my friends, you are free. You have only to break the tiny chains that keep you from your desire.
Questioner: Is it possible to help an entity to reach fourth-density level in these last days?
Ra: I am Ra. It is impossible to help another being directly. It is only possible to make catalyst available in whatever form, the most important being the radiation of realization of oneness with the Creator from the self, less important being information such as we share with you.
- Ra via Rueckert: Session 17, Question 2
Now it could be error on my part, as they may have been speaking narrowly about help reaching fourth density specifically. But that is simply not what stuck with me, for good or ill. I read this as whether help itself was possible to provide another.
It’s a great philosophical question: just as we explored last post, do we see enough to know what is genuinely helpful? How often is help offered not as a way to assist an independent other self on their path, but instead as a way to center ourselves and privilege our judgment of what’s right for them? And in an infinitely complex illusion in which our lessons are programmed, how are we to know what truly counts as a self-conscious, free will intervention? Now narrow it down to help asked for – even help that would be appreciated in the first place!
It is in this light that I appreciate those of Latuii’s thoughts on simply abandoning the possibility of help in all circumstances. Once again, just as in the past two posts, there is this ongoing theme of a self more subtle and total than we can fathom working both behind the scenes and subtly through our conscious minds. Looking at the opportunities for aid from that perspective, I tend to agree with those of Latuii that it is in making ourselves more supple and responsive instruments of the divine that we, as limited conscious selves, give our best assistance in the most universally applicable way.
There’s also a wonderful observation about the unity of grief and joy, and the sense in which all perceived lack or peril is but a blink of the Creator’s eye — a blink we cannot properly judge intellectually from the veiled position we occupy.
]]>Questioner: How can we help people to get through these heavy times we are going through?
Latuii: I am aware of your question, my brother, but it is so general that we have to go back to “Go” and collect $200. You can only help those people who ask you for help. That eliminates a large number of people. Thus, you must not worry when you cannot help people. Help is only appreciated if it is requested. Unwanted help is unnecessary help, and it will not help but only interfere, for all have a sovereign free will, and no matter what occurs in this physical illusion there is an infinity of time for each entity to learn and understand the truth.
Thus, abandon your desire to help everybody. We realize this is not a conscious desire, but it is a common subconscious desire, due to the fact that those who seek to know the truth are also those who have a love for other beings with whom they share this planetary surface of yours. There are a few whom you may help and they will ask you for that help. There are as many ways to help as there are requests. Some people may require a smile, some may require food. There are endless ways to share the bounty and the love of the Creator. If you are able to offer seed thoughts for the promotion of change for the individual who requests it, then, you have done the greatest help of all. For the greatest help is a spiritual help. And, the spiritual help can only be truly accomplished by the person himself, with you acting as a catalyst. Thus, think of yourself as a watershed, over which many will flow. There a few whom you may help with a word, a few with a touch, a few with generosity of food, or speech. Whatever is needed, it will be asked for and it will be a matter of your own understanding as to what you can do to fulfill the needs of those who ask.
We ask you to remember that the Creator’s supply of love, whether it be food, caring, thought, words or any deed, is completely and totally infinite. So that, if you are a channel for the love of the Creator, you do not have to worry about running out of steam or being unable to help in one way or another. You need only to work upon yourself, so that you are a clear channel, unmoved by the ridiculousness of many situations, and in great humor when others find a situation quite grim. For you see, you dwell in the midst of a great cosmic joke and a great cosmic tragedy. And the ability to see both polarities of this truth equally is a very helpful one in dealing with yourself. And when you have dealt with this polarity within yourself, laughing at your grief and solemn in your joy, you may be of balanced help to others, for you may not then be touched by their difficulties to the point where you will be unable to respond in the way the Creator within you would respond.
There are many who make the mistake of caring without asking how to care of their higher self. Ask that, my brother, and that will be a greater source of information than any arbitrary way of helping that we could give you. You know, the one known as Jesus said, “If you do these things to the least of these, my brother, you do them unto me.” That is the secret, my brothers: you and your brothers are one. You are the Creator and he is the Creator. Your brothers and sisters, and you, and we, and the Creator, are one being, the cells of which sometimes get themselves all mixed up. Let your cell of existence be calm, be joyful, and be one body of the creation.
What I see those of Latuii reaching towards is the idea that we as self-aware intellects would never have the perspective to do any reprogramming in the first place. This approach assumes that there is a right way to attack the illusion, and it’s a matter of simply getting the programming right. But this collapses the illusion so utterly as to squeeze out its mystery. The point of spiritual evolution is not to program the self careening through the universe, but to lose the self in greater and greater selves as an eternal praise of the majesty of the Creator and existence itself.
I’ll probably share one further excerpt from this bountiful session before I move along; until then, chew on this!
]]>This is not a correct concept which you have generated within your mind. We are not sure that the true reprogramming concept can be generated intellectually. You can, for instance, decide what you wish to reprogram. But, you will never know in your normal, shall we say, work-a-day state of mind, the mechanics of this reprogramming. It is not so much a state of objectivity that you need to reach, as a state of freedom, and this is not a freedom from yourself. It is a freedom to yourself.
For in reality, in the physical illusion, you are separated from yourself by all the concepts which have been generated in your mind as distortions of the truth, by those about you whom you trusted since your early childhood. These distortions are many and varied, and at a very young age you chose which distortions you felt comfortable in living with. Therefore, various people have various distortions. So, the laughter releases you not to objectivity but to yourself, which is the ultimate subjectivity, since each person’s universe is unique and unreplicable.
It’s easy to become exasperated with other seekers who seem interested in these trivial applications of the philosophy over more substantive, personal applications. However, working with AI on a daily basis has given me a bit of insight that I believe applies to our seeking in a direct and useful manner. Even the statistical models for language that LLMs employ have similarities with our own use of language. The key, of course, is the deeper meaning underlying all this. Which actor in this relationship holds the meaning? What does that even, um, mean?
I’ve spoken in the past about a kind of “plural self:” a totality of the mind, body, and spirit complexes synthesizing several levels of consciousness, only one to which we have direct access and control. It happens to be the level that goes out into the world thinking and acting. We experience catalyst as a result of this friction between our agency and the unlearned content of our whole nature, with the idea that we work to incorporate and balance more and more of our unrealized nature as the Creator Itself.
I see a similarity between (A) the way software developers are using agentic systems to act upon prompts consisting of requirements, constraints, and tests from outside its context to author software and (B) the way we might curate our thoughts and connect with our deeper selves to more and more live our lives as instruments of the Creator. “Agent” and “instrument” are, after all, quite similar concepts. Since their first contact with the Louisville circle, Hatonn has spoken of paying attention to one’s thoughts and plucking out those that do not serve oneself. Isn’t this very similar to pouring over a CLAUDE.md instruction file in a software project laying out overall goals and approaches, dialing it in over time as we see the empirical results of the AI agents’ responses to our direction?
This obviously raises some points about free will and determinism that I do not believe close out the debate so much as move it up a level. I’ve often remarked that artificial intelligence demonstrates less how intelligent machines can be and more how machine-like we are. But this is to be expected in the analogy I’m drawing: even those of Ra say that, in the moment, one is likely going to respond or react to catalyst the way to which one has been predetermined by one’s programming. There are many “prompts” from different sources here: the culture, the others involved, the preincarnative programming, etc. Action within the illusion becomes a kind of function of all of these inputs. We as conscious ego personalities are going to respond how we are programmed, which is why those of Ra suggest reflecting on our encounters and balancing them in meditation rather than placing all of the emphasis on getting each encounter with catalyst exactly right. This is like playing basketball by focusing solely on the backboard, when it is the ball’s movement that matters and the floor, the hand, and the backboard are mere means towards sinking a shot.
So where is the agency if our personalities are the product of programming done outside the purview of the moment? In our meditation, our appeals to the Creator, our work in consciousness in which we release our need for direct, total control. As we surrender to our greater selves, we begin to realize that it is in directing our attention to these deeper, purer, more divine concepts of self that our ability to see love in the moment and to respond to it with love becomes possible – just as the AI agent becomes more efficient with its direction as we dial it in slowly, over time, outside the moment of exact code authoring.
I don’t want to extent the analogy too far here; obviously it would break down quite easily. I do, however, want to suggest that the linguistic mentation that governs our conscious identities – the stories we tell ourselves in our head about ourselves, as one example – respond to these deeper prompts either as a matter of bearing out our imbalance in the world as catalysis or bearing out our balance as a moment of passing the test. Indeed, what if incarnation in front of the veil serves as a kind of “unit test” of the total self’s aggregated learning and acceptance? It then becomes far less important that we get everything right in our lives, and much more important that we simply pay attention to it.
To adopt this view requires a reorientation of our seeking quite a bit. The choice of polarity becomes something much more abstract and deep than simply whether we do something selfish or generous. Those actions and consequences are simply bearing out deeper decisions, deeper inquiries that our deeper selves have made. It also affirms the possibility of forgiveness on a deeper level: that our behaviors stems from thought errors that are correctible in the “software” rather than died-in-the-wool opposition to justice, respect, and other service-to-others-related acts necessarily.
This I believe is what those of Auxhall mean when they call us the “potters of our existence.” Not only in this session, but in all communications, are they only trying to reach us consciously? Or are they trying to reach through the agent to the developer behind the scenes, extending catalyst beyond the reactive mind to the responsive, sympathetically-oriented deeper self (even the spirit complex)? We make it complicated because we want it to make sense in our lives, but if we are instruments, then it doesn’t need to make sense at all – it just needs to be loved. Food for thought as you dine on this delicious suggestion from our brothers and sisters of Auxhall.
]]>If you can picture with me now, my friends, a field distant from any neighboring settlements or domestic dwellings, a field, my friends in which butterflies fly freely and clover lies beneath the wildflowers. We ask you to go to that place which you have imagined and to feel the sun of a warm day down upon you. Feel your body, my friends, as you stand in this field, your senses completely filled with the love of the Creator. You can hear the wind whispering its ever-changing song through the trees and grasses and weaving the sounds like ribbons through the air or birds who call to each other in hunger and pleasure. The flowers smell sweetly, my friends, and you can touch the fragrant petals of the wild and rambling roses. As you view all these things and feel the heat and light of the sun, you are experiencing the creation. You are part of the creation and you are a rightful dweller in what is truly paradise. Allow your consciousness to sink deeply within that body, standing in that warm field, until you are aware of that bird song and the sweet smell of the wild flowers and the lovely colors of the field and the touch of the grasses about your bare skin are all a part.
This, my friends, is the simplicity of that which we have to give to you. It is a simplicity that has proved fatal for us, for you in your complexity desire complex answers and you feel that were we advanced we would have advanced in complexity. However, my friends, that extrapolation is [not true.] I am Oxal not because I am of greater intellect than you who sit in meditation; I am Oxal because I love. I and my brothers know this love, see this love, and feel this love. We ask you to come out of the field now, my friends, and enter another field of existence that is much more difficult to dwell within, that is, the field of life, in which the flowers that you touch are papers 1 and people.
And often, my friends, you cannot touch but must instead grapple with difficult communications because you cannot understand each other’s creations completely. The ever changing wind gives way to the creations of man. And even near your dwellings, my friends, have you not seen entities who bring their noise with them and drown out the wind, and know not the message it whispers through the branches of the trees? Can you see the Creator, my friends, as you look at the distorted creation of man? We would be very amazed if indeed you were fully able to see the Creator in every man and every woman. There is a reason for this, my friends. We have free will and so do you. We are not the clay, we are the potter. The clay consists of our actions and our thoughts but we are the potter that forms these actions and these thoughts. We are the potters of our existence. And if our thoughts are seemly and lovely to behold, then it will be more possible for us to be a person through whom the Creator may work the magic of love. But most of you, my friends, have dwelt ever so long in an environment in which love is not understood and in which, therefore, the free will of each of your associates has caused them to distort that magic of love into shapes that are almost indiscernible as love.
And yet, my friends, there is no place that love does not go. There is no action that love does not allow. It is written in your holy works, “If a man go to the depths of Hell, he cannot escape the Creator.” We ask you to begin with yourself and to end with yourself in your attempts to discover love. We ask you to forgive yourself of any and all errors that you may commit. We ask you to love yourself in whatever imperfect state you may judge yourself to be. We ask you to release from yourself the responsibility for your nights and days, for your tasks and responsibilities. For those responsibilities belong to a part of yourself but not to your whole self. They belong to a shell of yourself that is dwelling in this experience. And of course, my friends, you will do the best that you can. Were this not so, you would not be in this room at this time, in this dwelling, seeking the truth in this manner. But an infinitely greater part of you is not dwelling within your experience at this time, it is one with the Creator and you may draw upon it as you will.
If you were in a drunken stupor and you tripped, would you not forgive yourself in the morning? That is your situation, my friends. You dwell in a very heavy chemical illusion. It is a difficult and challenging experience. However, in it you learn quickly and that is why you have put yourself in this experience. So learn what you can, my friends, but above all, allow that great portion of yourself that dwells with the Creator to indwell within you consciously each day in meditation so that you may bring it forth into manifestation, into whatever area you need its magic worked within. For, my friends, you are all magical, as the greatest miracle that you might ever imagine. Each of you has an infinite history and yet here you are, my friends, through an extremely amazing set of circumstances, dwelling in one room, pondering a set of thoughts, and experiencing the love and the unity of the group in which you sit. Let that love be as a candle to you, my friends, a very bright taper that has no end but burns mightily as does the sun. Desire to know that love.
What’s novel in this session centers around our idea of what the “sun” is in our lives. We cannot appraise this message’s usefulness without working this out for ourselves. For ourselves — not as some recapitulation of Latuii’s message, some straightforward application of their words to the task of human living. It has to ignite something within us that authenticates ourselves to ourselves, that gives us an ability to orient in spite of the tradewinds of experience. It has to be love not simply found in the moment but one with which we can connect and not simply one we take on faith. It has to be something so deep and innate in our true selves that we can bear to have the refining fire of experience and catalysis take away more and more of what we thought we knew, more and more of what we thought was us to begin with.
This is the power and ecstasy of love as lived, not love as studied or aspired to. I am so gratified by their mention of the great illusion of the detail: the thousand things gnawing at our attention that makes it so singularly difficult to see the simplicity of reality by reaching through the slurry of content. Auxhall will have a few more things to say about this topic tomorrow, so enjoy this abbreviated commentary now.
]]>I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of the One Who is All. We send you the love and the infinite regard of our brothers and sisters of Hatonn, and assure you that they are conscious of this group’s prayers for them in this past period of your time, which you call a week. It is most appreciated and we ask your continued support and Hatonn continues his work of love.
We are very glad to be with you, although as this instrument well knows, we are not the smooth talking professors of Hatonn and are not nearly as used to delivering the inspiration that is in our hearts. However, we ask that you feel about you at this time that which is in our hearts and mind. That is, my friends, the great love and light of the Creator which, burning like a fire, removes all before it that is (gross) and encourages the bloomings of all those things that [are good].
Which things in your life, my friends, turn towards this light? How long have you spent in the shade of things? We ask each of you. Each moment that you spend with your face away from the sun, the great central sun of your existence, love of the Creator, is a moment lost, my friends. The faces of love are infinite. There is a face in every problem, in every situation.
You may consider it like a game, my friends. You may consider this a game. Find the hidden picture. You will remember this game. There is a picture of a tree and hidden in the branches of the tree there is a picture of a kangaroo. So it is with your life, my friends. Hidden in every picture is a picture of love. Love distorted, love undistorted. Love strained by your own misunderstandings, but nevertheless, my friends, that thing which we call love creates the changes and incarnates all that there is.
We know, my friends, that you are on a path and we would help you on this path, but we cannot [be] your walking stick. All we can do is say to you, yes, my friends, there is a path; No, my friends, you are not foolish. Yes, my friends, hidden in the tree there is a kangaroo. For many of those about you will not understand. Many of those about you will only see that which is on the surface of any situation. You must not allow yourselves the self-indulgence of wasting time, as you call it, moments of your consciousness in this incarnation. Meandering through a thicket of details without remembering the great detailer that drew up the great plans. And who is this great detailer, my friends? Someone far off to whom you may pray, someone with a name? This great detailer, my friends, is yourself! This fine creator is yourself! Yourself in an alternate form! Yourself with all of your parts put back together in harmony!
[Tape ends.]
In any case, that is the “conflict” those of Latuii refer to at the beginning of the excerpt. They then articulate key concepts of third density polarization and the sinkhole of indifference in which our planet is largely stuck. I think it’s interesting that they describe both polarities as about love; I suppose it’s just a matter of what kind of love. The implications of that love for our planet are sadly being resisted strongly by the folks here. To “see with eyes of love” would just be perhaps a specific recognition of opportunity to call that love out to others within the illusion and maybe help awaken them.
They then address the law of responsibility and the seeker’s ability to use the illusion’s catalyst for growth by recognizing the mechanism. It’s interesting: if we were “seeing with eyes of love,” — i.e. if we were polarizing one way or the other sufficiently — I feel like Latuii is implying that we would more easily recognize these “quizzes” such that we could consciously work with them as catalyst instead of as problems that we later realize were lessons. And this is something occuring not simply in our individual evolutions, but for all of us as a planet: our inability to see through the illusion and recognize the primacy of the evolutionary. Perhaps this perspective helps seekers not feel trapped by the limitations of a given moment in history.
]]>We do not wish to stay the conflict forever, if that is the will of your peoples, but we wish to send as much love as possible to your leaders of all nations, of all beliefs, and of all polarities, in the hopes that we can for just a little while longer continue to offer the pathways of observation, convocation and evolution to your peoples. We are trying to offer to your peoples—those who wish to seek—an understanding of the true nature of observation. For to see with eyes of love is to see for the first time that which is real. For those few sheep among your peoples who wish to be saved, and who seek a group of like-minded people, we offer them the principle of convocation and give them the knowledge that they may find such groups and raise their voices as one in their desire to know the truth. And above all, we find each moment in which we can speak to your peoples of evolution an infinitely precious moment, because, although your peoples cannot go backwards, they can certainly drag their heels. And the majority of your peoples have dug in their heels and are resisting with a great deal of effort the relentless march of evolution towards the light.
Yes, my friends, you can resist. There are a few planets who have resisted so completely that there is no light. But evolution is inevitable, even upon such lost planets. Yours is just in the middle, my friends. There are not so many who would be evil, but my friends, there are not so many who would be good. The great majority of your peoples would be neither good nor evil, but do not seem to have a predisposition to either. Hence, they are as pawns in a game which they know not of.
You, my friends, have begun to understand the game, and have begun to aid in your own evolution by understanding the value of being polarized toward love. This is not an easy polarization and that teacher named Jesus would never have promised that it was easy. For he said, “If you would be my disciple, take up your cross and follow me.” Did he mean, my friends, that all of you must go through life in some kind of terrible martyrdom, suffering in order to be wholesome? No, my friends. Your teacher laughed at weddings and changed water into wine so that his friends might make merry and rejoice. He had a very deep sense of humor and rarely felt sorry for himself. He knew the ways of love and he knew that the path involved is a stony path. The path of evolution is a rocky path.
The reason for this is very simple, my friends. Say that you are not aware of the process of evolution. You are therefore not responsible for your lessons. You react in a completely instinctual manor and through the catalyst of many, many lifetimes’ experience you begin very slowly to develop. You may have a hard life, but the aspect of learning lessons will not seem a great part of it. However, when this student takes on the responsibility of the path towards truth, he will be given small quizzes along the way.
Now, everyone is given these quizzes, but most do not recognize them. The student recognizes them, and therefore has the responsibility for meeting them. If you are having difficulty loving an enemy, you will be faced with that problem until you have conquered it. If you have trouble with one enemy, that enemy may go away, but you will have another. If you are having trouble with some addiction either in thought, in action, or in temperance, the source of that addiction may go away but you will be challenged again. Each time that you have the choice between anger or some other negative emotion and calm acceptance and creative understanding and you choose the release of anger or some other negative emotion, you know—those of you who are on the path—that you must do it again, you have made an error, and that it will meet you, most surely.
Your entire planet, as a planetary consciousness, has not yet reached the level of conscious development. It is simply reacting as it has reacted for many thousands of years in a warlike and somewhat negative fashion.
