HATONN: MEDITATION ON THE TEACHER'S WAYS
CREATOR GOD ATON / HATONN

THINKING ABOUT "THINGS"
As we sit to pen on a beautiful Sunday morning, the mind must wander through the myriads of happenings and possibilities--each being individual, unique and responsive, as only such a wondrous being can be. Perceptions will be as varied as the number of beings experiencing the very same perceived incident. Each "thought" has a reaction in each individual--each cause, an effect. One cannot hold another's thoughts in fullness--even the brainwashed and trained individual shall have his own thoughts as well. You await "miracles" from GOD--this IS the miracle of GOD. Moreover, as the thought takes form and direction and the goal for achievement is set, so shall it come to pass for it MUST! The mind shall find the way as it makes the connections and decision which lead unto that goal.
Many come unto a path and teacher only to need further experience in differing settings and with other experiences but if the GOAL be unto GOD, the individual will return to that One Path wherein the actual truth of journey lay. God shall never force but will always respond to the honest call from the soul within.
DECISIONS ALONG THE PATH
It comes back to me, for instance, that one in this very Valley stays "only for business arrangements" perceived made with me in the yesteryear. This obviously has changed as this very one has chosen another path of experience and feels not comfortable to work in this vineyard. This one had good connections for employment elsewhere, but the area is most dangerous and there is another precious being who must abide within that one's immediate circle--one who has earned reward and companionship by many who love and respect this entity greatly. I must suggest, however, that there can be no "business" arrangement if that one will not come within my presence except when particularly summoned. The choice is already made, do you see? Does this mean that this "choice" is "forever"? No--in this instance it has no necessity of being even for 10 minutes--for it is the attachment which makes the decision in actual action. Is this bad? No, only distracting for when the heart has set its goal, so shall the consciousness be torn until the path is relocated. But, shall the ones remaining on the pathway allow of this one's re-entry? I don't know for the damage to trust and faith in discernment in favor of the "physical" will always be present, even between friends. Full trust comes most slowly indeed, once denounced. God never turns from a searching heart--NEVER.
In this instance, however, I would not delay in releasing this wonderful brother to his calling in career for I can ask no more and obviously the bindings are being stated and therefore I must accept the mental separation. I am told that this one has "trouble with accepting Hatonn". Then, chelas, this is not the placement for fullness in expression. One must go whereat the journey is fulfilled--if it means taking of the dependent "other"--so be it. I suggest, further, that each and all (yes indeed, this one too) look most closely at that which you practice, how you practice expression and who is offended and pained by your choices. If YOUR expression is beyond and before the comfort of another who has no choices in the matter, then are YOU fully accepting responsibilities or are you using that one as excuse? Always it is the responsibility of only ONE--YOU. If another can pull away from the focus by any means of worldly excuse or rationalization--who is at fault--the one who manipulates or the one who falls within the trap? Either way, the one in the trap is the one who suffers greatest pain in this dimension of experience for both the physical is hurt and the soul is tragically at unrest. So be it for EACH must walk his own road. All the rationalizing, lashing out, denouncement, turmoil of thought will not change an iota of it.
There need be no "responsible" messengers to perceive WHO might be in point for the messenger is most often blamed as an assaulting enemy and slain--at least in death of a friendship. When ones isolate themselves unto the "fringes", who disclaim and denounce without positive action and solutions--only touting abuse and misuse, when the facts are OBVIOUS--it bears careful inspection, for God will only effort to retrieve for a very short while and then the lessons are left to the learning without the support system of walking WITH God's workers. In this place--there are no other kind of co-journey travelers--either tag-alongs for the ride and experience without positive input (only "reasons" why "not") or ones who are working toward a goal and have not the time to bear up the tag-alongs. For a while many tasks can be performed without any direction whatsoever; however, as the words and denials, confusion and non-reconciliation linger, it becomes impractical for the "team" to wait. This does not cast aspersion on ANYONE; it simply has to do with jobs and responsibility and inability to wait and wait for possible decision changes.
If that "other" keeps you from your committed task and away from the brothers who served with you, who is at fault? The brothers are doing the same, INCLUDING your task. When you finally find disagreement (after the romance and honeymoon is past) WHO will leave you and move on to greener pastures, bigger security and another who is fully controlled by the individual direction of an impossible dream? If a thing be against the laws of God, it is against your path into Light.
If actions are chosen against those laws for any reason, it is fine with ME for I have no judgment about YOU or your other. I do have observation about the actions AND, further, you must always look at the circumstances. Let us suppose you live with another and practice all the pleasures of marriage, but without marriage. WHY? Why do you do this? Is it because the COMMITMENT is the same binding as the marriage, or is it rather that decisions regarding the relationship are convenient, pleasurable and mutually GIVING? A marriage is NOT that piece of government control as issued for the law. Is that "other" in tune with your deepest path of service? "Can two walk together if they not be agreed? What relationship have you if you cannot walk together in ALL THINGS? IS this a RESPONSIBLE arrangement or a selfish one? Is anyone HURT from the illusion? Then why protect so loudly to proclaim your righteousness? I have a secret for you: No one who is attending his own journey gives a damn!
I take the time for discussion on these subjects for I AM come with God and this IS my mission to bear Truth and self confrontation; ALL OTHER ACTIVITIES ARE BUT MY SECONDARY TASKS OF SERVICE. WE JUDGE NOT AND "ALLOW" ALL; WE DO NOT, HOWEVER, ACCEPT ALL WITHIN OUR TEAM, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO DENOUNCE US AND ACTUALLY WORK AGAINST US IN THEIR OWN WORLDLY OPINIONS ABOUT HOW THEY PERCEIVE THINGS "OUGHT" OR "SHOULD" BE, TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION ACCEPTABLE. IF A THING BE AGAINST THE LAWS OF GOD OR CREATION THEN IT MATTERS NOT WHAT "I" OR WHAT YOU "WISH" IT TO BE OR WHAT IT IS YOU PREFER TO "PRACTICE". IF YOU PRACTICE A "THING", ACTION OR RITUAL THEN FOR GOODNESS SAKES, BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. DO NOT CLAIM SOME "BUSINESS" ARRANGEMENT, ESPECIALLY WITH ME.
IS GOD YOUR SECOND CHOICE?
How many of you will sacrifice a bit of your soul perfection by your actions in physical preference of expression this day? Will the price you pay for that selfish act be worth the price paid for it? How many of you have relationships which are actually a total lie? Why? Are you so weak as to allow the very taking of your soul truth in exchange for this brief respite of physical expression? If your answer is Yes then why would you expect GOD to wait while being totally second in choice? Remember: "Thou shalt have no other GODs BEFORE ME!" "YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND THE DEVIL"--even little innocent looking cuddly, soft and warm spirits who dance on the fringes of the pathway of Light. CANNOT YOU BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING THAT ONE INTO THE LIGHTED PATH WITH YOU WHEREIN THEY MAY FIND SOMETHING WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO LEARN ALTERNATIVES TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS? WHO IS THE WEAKER EXPRESSION? WHO ALWAYS "GIVES IN"? LOOK AGAIN IF YOU PERCEIVE IT BE "BOTH" OR "NEITHER"--WHAT "WERE" YOU DOING AND, NOW, WHAT "ARE" YOU DOING? These are simply points to ponder as you make this journey through this manifest passage of experience, this expression of illusion.
I would like to remind you of something the Great Teacher taught in the never changing expression of physical manifestation to the growing children not yet learned in their lessons: I ask that you sit with "that significant other" who teaches you the "other" ways of acceptance and journey and REALLY study this next writing. See what that one does in response--agrees "sort of" and "in part", disagrees according to own "opinion" of how it might be said "better", refuses to talk about it at all, agrees but actually changes not within--but only states agreement to benefit the moment and continue the charade of manipulation:
"Ah, My children, if you will spend but one-tenth of the time and energy you have wasted in seeking without among the husks of human knowledge and human teachings, in earnest, determined efforts directed within to find Me;
"If you will devote but one hour each day thus to Me alone, imagining and practicing the Presence of Me within you;
"I here promise you that you will not only soon, very soon, find Me, but I will be to you an exhaustless fount of such Wisdom and Strength and Help, as your human mind now cannot possibly conceive.
"Yes, if you will but seek Me thus, making Me FIRST in your life seeking, never resting until you do find Me, it will not be long before you will become conscious of My Presence, of My Loving Voice, speaking constantly from out of the depths of your heart.
"You will learn to come to Me in Sweet Communion, and you will find yourself abiding in My Consciousness, and that My Word is abiding in you, and that whatever you desire will in seemingly miraculous ways be done unto you.
"This abiding continually in Me may be difficult at first, for the World, the Flesh and the Devil are still presenting evidence to your consciousness. But you will become accustomed to the use of My Impersonal Eyes, and will soon be able to see into the Reality of things, even into the Reality of these seeming lords of the Earth. Then you will find you are dwelling in a wondrous NEW World, peopled with Angelic Beings, using the Flesh bodies of Their human personalities merely as vehicles, or instruments, or clothing in which to contact the earthly conditions and experiences They have created, in order to develop the Soul qualities necessary for the perfect expression on Earth of MY IDEA.
"To your eyes then there will be no shadows, no evil, and consequently no Devil; for all is Light and Love, Freedom, Happiness and Peace, and you will see ME IN ALL, in each Being some attribute of Me, in each animate thing some phase of Me; and you will need only to let My Love shine from out your heart and It will illumine for you the Real meaning of all that you see.
"But what of the reflection you render of this illumination? What do you show unto the World and other travelers of this illumination. Do you simply reflect "allowing" in all manners of expression or do you discern that which is a true reflection of intent in journey?
"Is that which you call 'work' or 'duty' a reflection of your intended journey or do you sit and ponder as to HOW to reconcile the path to suit of another fellow-traveler? You may take leave of God's Work and Truth at any time and HE will give unto you that choice with only the conscience to guide of your actions--but what happens with that "other human traveler"? Does that one debate, cajole, refuse discussion and sharing of your ideas--or more importantly, are your ideas formalized and visualized FOR YOU in expression and action? These are things that the singular mind must fathom and the resolution of any confusion on THESE THINGS must be confronted within--WITH ME ALONE! AMEN!"
WHO IS THE TEACHER?
I welcome any and all within my presence, however, do not come seeking to CHANGE OF MY "KNOWING" for I have walked your way MANY TIMES and I KNOW GOD AND I KNOW THE CREATION--IN OTHER WORDS--I KNOW TRUTH. You are yet students of this journey and you may study any lesson in any school available to you--BUT YOU MAY NOT COME WITHIN MY CIRCLE OF STUDENTS AND CHANGE OF THE TEACHER! I MARVEL THAT ONES REFUSE TO COME AND LISTEN, HOWEVER, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO HEAR? MOREOVER, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF FOR "ANOTHER" TO HEAR? Ah so--you do not want of "that other" to see the shallow truth of YOU! Is it somehow better to separate away and plug the ears and blindfold the eyes, distract through physical actions and soft words of promises and temporary actions, the one you wish to "bind"? IS IT REALLY? What happens when "that one" sees and hears and comes up from his distraction to see Truth? These are lessons all and each must learn in discernment for ye have not to judge a "person", only the actions and perceptions as presented.
Always remember this most significant fact: "SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF."
