Introduction
A sunny autumn day and I am again finding myself riding toward the meditation tree, feeling enthused to be engaged with the natural elements around me. A stiff head wind had me feeling the effects of the ride when I arrived and after a brief workout I was sufficiently depleted of nervous energy to be able to sit in the silence of the mind.
I completed my pranic breathing to clear my energy field, set my energetic protections and arrange myself under beneath the tree. For 10 or so minutes I focused my concentration through the mental exercises of opening my Chakra energy centres (from Root to Crown) and then followed the visualisation of counter-rotating spirals of energy encircling and rising up my spinal column to arrive at my pineal gland in the centre of my brain. After holding my awareness there for a few minutes I requested contact from the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator. A quick response and pass of my challenges and communications soon began to flow.
Meditation
I am Hatton. I communicate now, my brother. We bid you good day and glad tidings, as we rejoice in sharing our energies and understandings with you in your meditation. It is a pleasure to communicate with you again and to see that you are persisting in your meditation practice. (These last few words were repeated haltingly and Hatton)
We advise you not to process the communications as they are given, but rather, stay in the flow of clarity and thoughtlessness, as we exercise your instrument.
It is a time of challenge in your world today, with much (inaudible) fear, anxiety amongst your peoples and we say to you and all who would listen, release your fears, forego your anxiety, embrace the ever-present and continuing moment with a sense of love and gratitude to all who cross your path and to all who have contributed to your existence. For your position in this current moment is a combination of the services provided by an infinite number of beings that share this existence with you, surround you with love and offer their assistance to you, either directly or indirectly in the activities they pursue throughout their own existences. It is in that totality of cumulative contributions that you exist and is the basis by which you may appreciate the unity of …. the …. Creator.
Is it not your own observation that you exist in a swirling maelstrom of currents, and forces and influences that affect you from every quarter and yet you abide, you exist, you persist and are able to carry forward your existence through weaving a path of mutual value offerings … through every moment of every day. It is impossible to exist in a vacuum of no external influence. The idea that such is the case and that in your individual awareness you are isolated is … laughable as a concept from our perspective. We see the energies surrounding you from all sides, influencing and shaping your future potential that manifest as your present moment and we rejoice in the beauty of that dance that you, somewhat obliviously pursue.
However, it is time to shed the ignorance of these influences upon you and instead embrace them and shape them to your own desires for that which you seek to attain. Be not an unconscious participant or victim of these forces, but an active co-creator in your own destiny by shaping those forces, interpreting them and deflecting them as … (an interruption occurred here as I was bitten by an insect and slapped it on my neck) … we pause for a moment to recover from that interruption …
… Even in your meditation these forces affect you. The insect that was upon you, for instance, was another example of that which we speak. Your moment of awareness was comprehensively impacted by the most minute of creatures, as if, may we observe, as an example of that topic of conversation we were pursuing. And consider for one moment, if that most minute of entities could have such a pronounced effect on you, albeit momentarily, just what other effects may be wrought upon you through the conscious focusing and effects of others.
This is what we speak of in shedding your ignorance of these influences and understanding that either for good, for ill, or neural intention, these influences are surrounding you and it is through your own discernment that you may accept, reject or shape those forces to your own desired outcome. Doing so with the awareness that you are but a part of the greater creation is a major step on the progression of spiritual maturity. Once you appreciate the more obvious, shall we say, effects of your decision making, then may you, through the focus of your spiritual pursuit, come to appreciate the more subtle influences you may exert in your existence and over your material reality. For in the realisation that we are all one, is also the understanding that anything is possible.
We encourage you, my brother, to pursue your spiritual education, to step forward and embrace the maelstrom of the frequencies and energies that surround you, to shape them into your own creation and to recognise and encourage the efforts of others through your senses of gratitude and appreciation, compassion and understanding.
Is there a question at this time, my brother, to which we may bend our minds and considerations?
(long pause … as I try to express a question within my mind)
We understand your question is regarding the lessons needing to be learned from your, what you call, self-sabotaging of your success potentials and it is a significant understanding of your existence that you must come to appreciate this lesson that you may step forward, leaving behind the desires for limitation or … we search for the expression that adequately addresses the concept that we try to convey at this time … it is the concept of unworthiness of the gifts of the creation … and we say to you that these lessons are to challenge you to accept your position in the unity of the Creation and understand that you are, as a fundamental element of the Creator, eminently and unreservedly worthy of any aspect, expression or attribute of the Creation. But that (?) you must overcome the obstacles that are impediments to your attainment. More specifically we can not answer, for to do so would be to avoid the lesson you have to learn. We contain our answer to the realm of that which you already know or intuit and encourage you to delve more deeply into your sense of deservedness or un-deservedness.
We thank you, my brother, for this opportunity to share these thoughts and time with you in your meditation practice. We bid you go forward in the peace and joy and confidence that comes within the light and the love of the one infinite Creator.
Adonai, my brother, Adonai.
Epilogue
Well,
this is clearly a challenge for me to be more aware in my everyday existence to
shape the outcomes I desire, while accepting that I am a worthy recipient of
the outcomes I strive to attain. Self-worth is such a complicated area for
those trying to live a life of service and virtue, as it raises the prospect of
falling into the trap of selfishness and arrogance. However, as Hatton
clarifies here, there is no sense in artificial limitation in a Universe of
infinite possibilities.
It is interesting to note the relationship between my question and the first part of their response, and that both are addressing the challenges of making decisions for successful outcomes in an environment of subjectivity that is full of external influences. Apparently, a greater awareness of those influences is needed to manage one’s path to success, as is an appreciation of one's self and others as equally valuable attributes in the unity of the Creation.
Definitely some more contemplation is required on the personal issues raised, but in sharing them, I hope they are of use to others.
