Learning To Watch, Work, And Wait Upon God

WATCHING, WORKING, AND WAITING
Part of our journey here is to know how and when to watch, to work, and certainly the most difficult to discern: when and how to WAIT--upon God.
What we do usually is to take up the stance of somehow carrying a great burden of both responsibility and WISDOM. If you have wisdom, you shall have insight and ability to meet all responsibilities in timely fashion without it being considered some terrible burden. It needs no babbling with the tongue and lips--it bears thoughtful and, often, silent realization in WISDOM WITHIN. Politicians babble infinitely until you wish to throttle them--WISE people have something of TRUTH to say when they do so. This, of course, is when there is something worthy of discourse, for conversation and communication must always include the speaking so that each understands the other's ideals, ideas, and motives. Politicians babble, gossips prattle, and hopefully, after you come to have realization in Truth and Wisdom--YOU will COMMUNICATE. Further, you will cease to feel abused, accused, or somehow slighted if another takes no note of you or reaches beyond your perhaps limited input. If you don't participate totally then you CANNOT have the sufficient knowledge to understand or perceive properly in any circumstance--only in those things for which you train self. So many people try to interject management into situations wherein THEY have NO KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER. Beware of this TRAP.
If you assume responsibility, say, for a job, then you also assume the responsibility of being on top of EVERY impacting circumstance. You cannot manage anything of which you have lacking PARTS. A jig-saw puzzle cannot be completed if you have missing parts. This means that YOU must have more input than any other within your equation--not less. Nothing can be run in routine absence from the ongoing play. How can you direct a play if you never go near the rehearsals or the stage? That is what would-be tyrants pretend to be and do--a director from a seat of power and not from the stage edge while the actors inclusive are on the stage.
Then consider this: When you understand the centralized focus on and within God--you have achieved that which allows those perceived burdens to become nothing save little interesting experiences to be lived in whatever you perceive to be the "real world". However, the REAL WORLD is that which is even farther beyond the play or the experience.
Why do I turn to this subject? Because if you move along totally absorbed by the habits and experiences within the play you will forget the POINT of the play and the message you are presenting. If you only go, for instance, for a glob of money and your focus is on the money--you will forget WHY you wanted the funds in the first place. If it is for personal ego reward of physical pleasures--it will eat you alive. If your goal is betterment through abundance of the "whole"--then you have gained WISDOM and the reward will be worthy of the intent. In that very realization, you will find it impossible to not gain that which is sought that the mission in goodness might be fulfilled. Some, it seems, must give the life experience and others simply a contribution of working physical change of conditions in presentation of a better way. It is far easier to give up the physical experience than to stay focused on GOD AND THE GOAL OF GOODNESS and achieve abundance without falling off God's wagon.
If there is absolutely a need to be up, in service to God and Brothers to, say, be still working on a project at 4:00 a.m., after I have asked you to be sleeping and working with me by midnight, it is apparently acceptable to others who are controlled by higher and more urgent need than my wishes. However, if you demand that others work with you or they must always and consistently be up at 4:00 a.m. to meet YOUR needs--it is not acceptable. These are the "compromises" which allow others to meet their obligations to higher purpose and not simply be appeasing a "boss" or a perceived and acting-out eccentric personality. When YOUR management allows for the fulfillment of other's needs--you have achieved that which portrays management in EXCELLENCE. However, the manager in point must meet the further needs of the parties otherwise attached to a mission or task by BEING THERE AT ALL TIMES WHERE THE "STUFF" IN GOING ON, ON THE STAGE OF ONGOING AND EVER-CHANGING EXPERIENCES. IF THE LEAD ACTOR IS MISSING FROM ANY PLAY'S ACT ON STAGE--THERE IS NO PLAY BEING OFFERED--ONLY A SHAM OF POSSIBILITIES WITHOUT PROBABILITY OF BEING PROPERLY CONCLUDED. You might well be the smartest, potentially, and best- educated person on the globe but if you use it not, who cares? It means NOTHING! It only means that you demand, in selfish call, the adjustment of others who weary of answering your call or demands and the others will rebel.
REWARD OF SOUL
This is why so few workers for God, achieve! There is always that temptation, by the person in point in any leadership circumstance, to say: "I'll do God's work but by God, I'll do it my way, on my schedule." NO, WE WHO DO GOD'S WORK DO NOT CALL IT "WORK" IN ACTUAL BURDEN MEANING, AND WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO DOING IT ABSOLUTELY ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL! We lovingly and willingly meet whatever guidelines are acceptable to allow others to fully meet their own potentials. When we require that others simply meet our own selfish needs when we could do and act “otherwise” in our own position, we fail miserably as a wayshower. This puts aside all reference to outstanding ability or capability. If, in addition, you cannot meet this burden, if you perceive it to be a burden, then you are not going to be able to fulfill the demands of a MORE IMPORTANT OR DIFFERENT TASK. The least, seemingly, task is often the measure of the person by the Teacher and not the academic acquirements of a past expression.
What I get constantly is a barrage of, "Let me do something," and then, "Oh, well, not that..." and/or, "...you can depend on me" and then only to find, "Well, you traumatized me and I won't do that anymore..." If you cannot or will not fulfill that PROMISE, then HOW can anyone depend on YOU when the roadway gets difficult? If you are going to help Dharma, but the minute you are crossed in any way, you then refuse to write or assist--HOW IS THAT "HELP"? Those are the most disappointing circumstances of all--to depend on the assistance and be left hanging out to dry in a tornado because you didn't write in order that the other has a column in the paper, as a for instance. Never mind, then, is the response from we the scribblers--we could have done it ourselves on our own schedule far more easily than "catch up" under direct pressure. You are NOT here to wishy-washy your way through life experience and when you understand that mission, you will see things differently. If you can't be depended upon to do the tasks in goodly work--you won't do your tasks elsewhere!
How many have come and claimed commitment only to not only go away, but go away after stealing, lying, and cheating us?! If you are making promises and then you change, you go, you turn and damage--how can trust ever be brought unto God of Wisdom for YOUR position? "But doesn't God know?", you might ask. Yes, but your brethren don't, and even YOU may not know self until opportunity to focus on SELF totally hits you along the trail. Or, you need to cover your acts of indiscretion as you stumble along the way without openly doing the RIGHT THING through RIGHT choices. Lies, by their own definition, can only perpetuate and compound LIES. Truth simply ALWAYS IS and, eventually, if you hang in there long enough in truth--will OUT! Can you make the world recognize that truth? Yes! For TRUTH is of GOD and GOD wins--remember? The worst plight in which to find self, however, is to come to BELIEVE your own LIES. This allows compounding of another and another lie built on the false foundation as laid forth regarding any topic or action--and others, as well as you, can never have a stable construct. If you base your actions and words on TRUTH--you begin with a stable foundation upon which you can build and build and build, and at some point, YOUR construct is all that is left standing after the judgment of JUSTICE passes by.
We will not here discuss the INJUSTICE in SYSTEMS that reward the liar instead of the Truthbearer. That is a part of the very foundation of building on LIES which topples nations and worlds--and wipes out innocent people by the gazillions. But you can't hold on? Well, if there is enough desire in wishing to succeed, you not only WILL hold on, YOU WILL FIND A WAY IN WHICH TO FUNCTION AND CREATE THAT WHICH IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR JOURNEY TO THAT DAY OF SUCCESS. The goal, however, must be worthy of the journey. It MUST be a desire founded on RIGHT REASONS. When that RIGHT REASON becomes the only focus and goal, there is no way you shall not achieve it. Furthermore, it will not seem a "BURDEN" but rather only an experience with a few interesting nasties along the way.
Man likes to joke and play along the way and this is fine, until, of course, his jokes and play produce the appearance of irresponsible actions. Then, whether or not a party is actually perpetuating a thing or actually performing an act of incorrect and irresponsible fashion, the ASSUMPTION is present and will be the ACCEPTED attitude in REASONED perception. This means that all and each of you must always look at what perceptions can be received by ones looking on or participating in some manner, with you. If, for instance, you have a guest in your home who is violently allergic to spinach--you would not feed him spinach. Likewise, if you are laying in bed in the next room who is against all appearances of adultery and you have an opposite, or like, sexual partner in your bed, the assumption is that "hanky panky" is taking place and it is an insult to your guest--either way. Then, if you move farther along and deny any incident when the APPEARANCE is obviously otherwise, the "noise" is obviously otherwise, and then you call your guest a liar for assuming such conduct--you may well have erred. The greatest error of all, however, is the silly defense of self, even if the conduct was only "the appearance of", for the INTENT WAS PRESENT AND IT IS THE ENERGY WHICH IS ACTUALLY PERCEIVED--NOT THE NON-SEEN ACT OF SOME KIND.
Next, you must then turn to a solution of the confrontation in which you who erred in offering the appearance before your guest, and you must clear the confusion. You DO NOT go about denouncing one who knows the "guest" to salve your own guilty conscience which is nagging because you KNOW you were, at the least, giving the appearance of inappropriate behavior. This is why you have been taught that the lusting in the mind is the same as the actual deed. I believe it may even be more damaging because if you cannot control your THOUGHTS then you have no business teaching others to control theirs! The point is: LIVE YOUR EXAMPLE. And remember: the DOWNFALL OF "MAN" is through his need of POWER and his misuse and misperception of that power--gained through sexual irresponsibility. A man most often measures his worth only through his pocketbook and sexual conquests of one kind or another--and the more powerful he feels, the more obscene are his sexual abuses. INDEED, GOD CERTAINLY KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE AND HOW TO TEST MANKIND!
Well, my intent was not to give lessons on sexuality this morning; that is YOUR business, but it needs a lot of close scrutiny of self, intents, wishes, desires, AND RESPONSIBILITY IN ALL THE REFERENCES.
A LESSON FROM HIGHER TEACHER-MASTERS
We offer you the lessons as presented in the introduction of such as the "Rainbow Masters" but the living word is often missed, either deliberately or inadvertently, in the living of daily perceptions. You fail to recognize that to LIVE YOUR LESSONS IS TO COME TO KNOW GOD. In coming into the KNOWING of GOD, you FREE yourselves and we might look at that topic right here and now.
I would honor our friend "Terry" for the next heading for in his studies with the Immortals for over seven years of his Earth life, he came through with some insights beyond that which the ordinary man is offered. Every man is birthed with this KNOWING, but the knowing is replaced by TRAINING and the mind-conscience forgets. You, like a computer, must have "trigger" ideas or codes to bring the memory to the screen of the monitor or the conscious mind in the realization of thought. If you do not remember from where comes your freedom and knowing, you are locked in the confines of limitation.
KNOWING GOD, YOU FREE YOURSELVES
[H: Because the accepted recognition of the Christed being in your age is Jesus, we shall use that label. However, this being is recognized by the ancients and higher energies as Sananda and on up the line, God, Aton, etc. This is simply for clarification to you "inquiring minds" who have to have every detail repeated because you think "someone else" needs to know what we think.]
"When Jesus spoke the words to the people, 'Come to me all of you; you are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest...' " These words from the Bible, are not the true words he actually spoke. The true statement of these words was: 'Come with your mind centralized and focused in me.' That is, God/man, the I AM will give you rest. When you rest in the I AM, you change from the Son of Man of burden to the true God that is at rest in peace. For this, you no longer carry 'burden'. God the Father is Man's power to think rightly and directly through any condition presenting. Man as he thinks of himself as some poor worm in the dust, is not in God's consciousness. This is only the expressing of mankind in the 'worm consciousness' without reality of what he is doing or thinking. This is man in his lower mind power wherein man is in limitation and in a most dreary condition within that consciousness of self. Therefore, MAN becomes the 'condition' perceived and is the man you see as old, sick, and even dead. Your religions, with their self-appointed leaders, make you believe that your destination is your origin, i.e., 'dust to dust'. This is a most unfortunate error of all mankind. This is also where the burden and fatigue overcome and destroy the body and the mind-individual, and causes immortal and limitless man to become a weak and limited dead man. And believe me, there are more walking, breathing DEAD MEN than you can imagine in your wildest imaginings.
"Let us consider that you are taking aim at the center of a target with bow and arrow. You focus all your thought on the direction of the target. You will find that you do not even take a breath at the time. You stand balanced and still focusing all the mind toward the technical 'drifts' and 'drafts', rise and fall, etc., on that central target. Then with all your will and might and while in complete focus, you actually see nothing but the central mark on the target. Then poising the bow in full pull-back, you release the arrow, still not changing focus or motion. When the arrow strikes the target, and it will after practice and focus, you will have accomplished the goal. The pattern is the same if you seek God. When your ideal is God in relationship to self, then you will find that, just as the ideal is God--so too it becomes the reality--if you maintain your focus and intent.
"It is so also that when you pray and communicate with God, the I Am presence, you must recognize your divine ideal and that causes the very I Am presence within your own being to come forth in the miracle of attachment. It is in this way that you bring forth the divine SPIRITUAL man, the Christedness of GOD. God is the WORD, for words are expressions of thought in communication. GOD IS THE WORD. Though physical expression is the WORD MADE MANIFEST. When the word is made manifest as flesh, then, you have also God made manifest, for there is no other realization. YOU are a fragment of GOD made manifest--you are 'created'. Herein is the mystery most ones manifest: If you disallow God to continue to as the focus manifest, you will move away from the creative power of God. You will only be able to tinker and tamper with that which is already made manifest BY GOD. Realization of truth in Divine Infinite Power of Creation is only available when MIND realizes its oneness with that Creator Source.
"It becomes mandatory, then, for a world or a MAN to remain within the LIGHTED PRESENCE of God Totality. Man must continually maintain a pathway directly toward the objective of experiencing, and creating in wisdom, the divine spiritual life that is God within."
(Editor's note: Due to Dharma's difficulty in translating Terry's notes to an easily read text, Hatonn apparently took over at this point and, still following Terry's material and ideas, began to dictate to Dharma, as he usually does when the format shows [QUOTING:])
Man must always search the reflection of himself in his mirror of recognition and never move away from desire and purpose of perfection in purity of soul intent. No one ever accomplished anything unless it was a desired intent, recognized or ignored. This can be either "good" or "bad" in perception. Even if you are drifting in a thoughtless pattern of experience, you will end up drifting into the very streams of consciousness wherein your level of knowledge, fear, and passions take you swirling along in the flow. You will be caught within that mental focus; this is why FEAR will bring you directly to that which you fear the most. You will be wherein your thoughts reside.
If you command self to act as God, demanding of self that your attention be fully focused on that which is Godly, it becomes a part of your very existence and choices are no longer difficult, for you will see no alternatives save that which brings you ever closer to the totality of God presence. You will simply make decisions that will not cause you to need to hide, cover, or fear discovery. You will find yourself ceasing even the appearance of that which is most often hidden in hopes God or Man will not take note.
There is another fact which should be considered at this juncture: consideration of that which you try to HIDE from others, but, more importantly, from SELF. You can convince yourself that black is white if your desire is to fool self--and therein is found the greatest FOOL of all. You can fool all of the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time; you can fool self--BUT YOU CAN NEVER FOOL GOD! The follow-on of that fact is that you cannot fool, long, the Godly people, for in wisdom of knowledge, you will show the mark of the fool if you be the fool, and the wise will KNOW you for that which you are--a deceiver, a Fool indeed.
In this same context, it becomes necessary for you to express God and to let God stand forth through you, into outer expression. In this expression you have ALL YOU NEED to create whatever might be your goal infinite. You won't need help from outside sources when you know that the source and spirit of all knowledge and understanding of truth, is within you. The old saying: "When the student is ready, the Teacher appears," is excellent in concept for God-Mind in creative power will produce the Teacher/Leader/Thing next needed for your success of goal acquisition in your "reality" of expectation.
The mind will create a way to solve every problem. However, it is WISE indeed to KNOW for what you ask, lest you have no idea as to how to create the solution. You must also recognize opportunities, for the very solutions will often come forth in totally unexpected manners and full disguise. If, for instance, holding a corporation might be THE solution to a particular problem, but you have no notion as to the workings of corporations--YOU WILL MISS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR SPECIFIC SOLUTION TO YOUR EXPLICIT PROBLEM. As to our own mission, we are seemingly delayed while the team becomes INFORMED and knowledgeable in practical application. This requires focused attention, no rest at the oars, and no waiting for wisdom or riches to shower you like snowfall brings ice crystals upon your heads. YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HOW TO DO IT. This is why some are passed by in the walk to success--because they would rather hug a tree for whatever is in La-la-land rather than attend the needs of CREATING.
In this cycle of thought progression, we come right back to the subject at the outset of this writing: YOU MUST ATTEND CLASSES IF YOU EXPECT TO LEARN THE LESSONS. You cannot drift through specific sets of necessary actions and recognitions if you fail to meet the learning requirements and fit the program as laid forth in functioning format.
But still, the worst destroyer of individual soul is to BETRAY, and then, to deliberately betray another for perceived annoyances or disagreements, becomes vengeance, and is THE destroyer beyond all others. Betrayal and becoming a Traitor to cause, nation, person, OR GOD is to doom soul to the pits of one kind or another. Errors must be flushed out and confronted while there is yet opportunity for correction--but betrayal, even in innocence of specific actions, is the poison of soul progression. And, people, if you don't KNOW ALL THE FACTS OF ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, it is betrayal anyway, if you damage the parties involved in any way whatsoever--for your intent is of necessity of fact, betrayal if you feed gossip and/or your ignorant perceptions. NOTE just WHY you have a usual tendency to believe the LIAR! Once you believe the liar you are then trapped, aren't you? You then become even more trapped if you know not all the circumstances and you take sides and toss arrows at the goodly and truthful ones whilst you play and pretend you "don't think God would..."
The problem most prevalent among long-time "seekers" is the usual falling away of truth in those that you set up as your example. When the "person" human responds as human in your perception of what "ought to be", according to your own "illusion", you jump on the bash-bandwagon and find no way to turn back when you find the liars and cheats are actually on your newly directed bandwagon. You then go about justifying the actions of the WRONG parties to placate your own actions. Next, the party in fault will usually proclaim to "just allow" and "not judge" when you have ALREADY MADE FULL JUDGMENT AND ARE ALLOWING WRONG TO PREVAIL. THIS KEEPS YOU JUST AS WRONG AS THE ORIGINAL WRONG-DOERS. This is why the Master said in the name of God: YOU ARE EITHER WITH ME OR YOU ARE AGAINST ME. And, friends, it is time to make your decisions for YOU ARE EITHER WITH ME OR YOU ARE AGAINST ME, for in our work there ceases to be a mid-point for standing in indecision according to the way the wind blows at the moment.
If you claim I, Hatonn, am not of God because you think otherwise--think again, for if you can believe that I am not of God nor Christ-like, then you have NOT STUDIED MY PRESENTATIONS--PERIOD. WHEN YOU ARE PERFECT, THEN, AND ONLY THEN, MAY YOU JUDGE MY IMPERFECTIONS. You judge by your own imperfections and that is a poor reflection on another's soul, separate from your own. You can only REFLECT that which you ARE! Think about this as you pontificate on great and mighty opinion--for you will find the errors you make will make you, truly, the FOOL you are. You are welcome to try to prove ME the fool--but I promise you, the game will backfire, for we can play at foolishness until the "cows come home". Is it, however, a worthy game for thee and me? Can we not simply respect one another for that which we are come to accomplish? I come to accomplish a return of Godness and Truth as relates to Creator/Creation. What is YOUR mission? What is your purpose? If you don't know--how expect ye to gain it? Searchers who find and then turn away, are the most pitiful of all--for they shall never be given the ability to find--only recognize one day, in retrospect, that they missed it. SEEKERS do not wish to FIND TRUTH--for they would have to give up their misperceptions of which they have become so fond of holding onto. You may hold whatever you choose--but do not expect me to play your silly game! I will not give you reward for your foolish misperceptions and dogmas which have become so powerful and important to a warped ego stance.
In this, could I be wrong? NO--BECAUSE I KNOW GOD, and if you play such silly games in hide and pretend--YOU DO NOT KNOW GOD! Where man usually errs is not in realizing his ONEness WITH GOD--but in his ever-lingering thought of himself as knowing more and being MORE THAN GOD CREATOR. When you disagree with the laws of The Creation and God Creator, then you place yourself in the dunce-cap and become the total FOOL. I did NOT say the MAN-MADE laws as presented as being GOD's LAWS. I said, The Creation and Creator God's LAWS. The two are NOT the same and yet you still JUDGE GOD AND GOD'S PEOPLE BY MAN'S STUPID AND IDIOTIC RULES AND TRAINED-DOG DOCTRINES. You cannot serve God by tithing to a church, any church, in a physical manner. YOU CAN ONLY SERVE GOD BY GIVING THAT WHICH IS SOUL/YOU UNTO GOD--AND NOT YOUR SILLY PERCEPTIONS OF THAT WHICH IS FLESH AND PHYSICAL AS SOMEHOW APPEASING AN INVISIBLE GOD. You can only truly serve God in reflection of LOVE and TRUTH. If you lie, you serve only that which is physical MAN and his silly notions of benefit, for and of the moment.
When you have truth laid before you and you still chose the lie, then you have achieved one of the greatest follies of all experience--for you have moved from ignorance into total stupidity--and there is a great difference in the two perceptions. Evil is birthed out of that stupidity--ignorance is but a sham of temporary status which allows.
When YOU pass from ignorance and misperception into total intent in refusal to see Truth and stand in your stupidity of judgment--you can expect full consequence in KIND in cycled return for your persisting attitudes of incorrect perceptions. All the denying, claiming, pronouncing and/or lying about a carrot will not make it into a grain of wheat. Similarly, all the voting-in, wishing, compounding of lies upon lies--will not change an IOTA OF THE TRUTH. Lies produce more lies and Truth produces only Truth--and the twain shall never lay as one in any circumstance. You can claim truth from the lie--but you only have another lie. It is as with O.J. Simpson, who either killed or did nor kill--and all the opinions from unknowing parties will never change a hair of the Truth of it. "Opinion" is NOT "truth"--even if opinion may well express truth. Remember this when you express "opinions" for they are more often WRONG than CORRECT. Correct opinions come from LEARNING TRUTH and gaining knowledge--no other way. If you wish your "opinions" honored--then make sure they are based on correct input and KNOWING--not guessing. When you KNOW GOD you stop "guessing" what is and what is not Truth. I can respect you and your opinions--it makes NEITHER one correct.
Once, however, you CHOOSE to live in lies and wrong perceptions and express those as your "opinions"--I have no respect for the opinions OR YOU. Note I used the term "respect". I revere and respect, beyond all others, GOD, and if you live not as and by God, then I hold no respect or reverence for you or your ideas. I can respect you as "A" being and love you for your created existence--that does NOT mean I must either like you or respect you for that which are your choices or your actions. Neither do I even have to tolerate those who pretend to CHANGE to somehow please me or their own cause--and do not. Do not turn from me or mine and then pretend to find "truth" to come back in good stead without having to change attitudes--for I want you not among my acquaintances and, much the less, among those I know as "friend" after you have attempted, by your intent and actions, to bring hurt and damage upon those who trusted you, shared with you, and gave you a hand in willing friendship only to be smitten by the physical things you choose in greed of ego expression.
Then, when the tide turns and possibilities for self seem a bit more gratifying by returning to the original friendship stance, you come back? No, I don't think so, beloved ones, for no one will trust you again. We do not need contracts--we have the WORD and TRUTH and if that is not enough, then all the swearing and oaths are worth NOTHING. Furthermore, once the word is used wrongly, trust is no longer POSSIBLE for the mind will never forget the wrong, even if there is full forgiveness. GOD FORGIVES--HE DOES NOT FORGET! So be it.
Good morning and I salute you who will accept and learn that which is offered unto you.
