About the Author

Carla Lisbeth Rueckert was born on July 16, 1943 in Lake Forest, IL. She grew up in Louisville, KY and graduated from the University of Louisville in 1966, earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature. This was followed by a Masters degree in Library Arts from Spalding College in 1971. Carla worked as a librarian for a thirteen-grade school until she was hired away by Don Elkins to do paranormal research. They formally created L/L Research in 1970. Carla served as a vocal channel from 19742011,and was the instrument for The Law Of One series. During her lifetime Carla authored and channeled thirteen published books, channeled approximately 1,500 different transcripts, sustained volumes of written and spoken correspondence with spiritual seekers, wrote poetry, danced, gardened, and sang with a heart full of praise and thanksgiving, both in the small moments of home life and in the church choir her entire life. Carla loved Jesus, loved serving, loved seeking, and loved life itself. She married her soulmate, Jim McCarty, in 1987, and passed away at home during Holy Week on April 1, 2015.

Carlas life work continues through her non-profit organization, L/L Research. You can find all of her work available for free at www.llresearch.org.

Acknowledgements

Firstly, thanks and praise to James Allen McCarty, who faithfully manned the recording equipment 470 times while I generated the short channelings in this volume and who originally transcribed some of the material.

Thanks to Morris Hoagland for encouraging me to finish this project! Morris, your nagging was quite necessary and much appreciated!

Thanks to Gary L. Bean, who took on the job of transcribing the lost sessions with skill and love.

Thanks to Ian Jaffray, who produced this handsome volume.

Thanks to Michele Matossian, whose inspired illustration graces this books cover.

Most of all, thanks, praise and blessing to my guidance, The Holy Spirit, who gave us these thoughts. Thank you, Holly!

Introduction

Come, Holy Spirit! Fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in us the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth! O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may ever be wise and enjoy Its consolation. Amen.

This prayer, which I learned at an Episcopal Cursillo weekend in 1983, inspires me still, every time I offer it. It helps me to remember that we do not have to depend entirely upon ourselves and our street smarts to live a life of faith, hope and peace. We can turn, each and every day, to the Holy Spirit and ask for Its guidance and consolation. And we can watch our lives become ever more meaningful and beautiful as the Holy Spirit enkindles our hearts and firms our intentions.

We all live in two worlds at once. The outside world is noisy and restless. We hear the engines on the road, the voices on the telephone and at the door, and the din of our own unsettled thoughts. And although I do see the beauty and the blessing of that outer life, I constantly yearn for my Redeemer and Its voice. I cannot rest until I rest in the Lord.

Daily, in utmost thankfulness, I turn to the inner world, and here I hear no sound except that still small voice which radically and daily transforms my life, tosses me into my service and learning moment by moment and serenely guides me through every circumstance I encounter.

In offering to you these daily thoughts which I have collected, I offer you some of the fruits of my inner life. I make no claims for them whatsoever. I do not claim that this material is from the one and only Holy Spirit and therefore must be believed by all. I do not claim that this material is sacred or divinely inspired. I wish only to share these thoughts with those who may find them comforting and enlivening in their own lives.

A word about the format of these readings. The opening and closing greetings are artefacts of my channeling process. When I converse with the Holy Spirit, as I do sometimes using pencil and paper and writing down my questions, the responses are offered to me with less formality.

The readings as you see them begin after I have finished the challenging process and have accepted the contact with the Holy Spirit, who opens by greeting me. Because the channeling is being offered aloud, there is also a closing greeting when the reading is done.

Generally speaking, the meat of the reading lies between the opening greeting and the closing greeting. If you find these greetings repetitive, you can move directly to the thought for the day.

If you are interested in learning more about the research behind this book, please consult Appendix A, in which I discuss this research.

May these thoughts for the day bless you richly.

The Banquet Of Life

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the consciousness of divine love.

I greet you this day in merriment and laughter, joy and freedom. I invite you to the banquet of life. Gaze at the table spread before you: the delicious zest of challenges yet unmet; the wonderful nourishment of companions, friends and family; the spice of those whom you shall meet but not understandthose most contrary flavors that often make the meal and bless the feastand, above all, the beauty of the banquet hall.

Gaze about you today in prayerful thanksgiving for the beauties that love has made.

You are a perfect and divine part of a perfect and divine creation. And that which you see before your eyes may be feast or famine. Ask of yourself that you choose what you shall see. And if you choose to see the riches of the creation of the Father, great riches indeed shall you see.

We leave you in peace, joy and laughter, now and ever. Amen.

The Joy In Labor

I am the spirit of the full consciousness of Christ, the principle expressed by Jesus Christ. I greet you in the love that creates, sustains, renews and transforms all of creation.

We see that your minds are much bent upon the prosecution of worldly duties. We suggest to you that all employment is gainful if it be centered on the love of the Creator, expressed in any way whatsoever that seems most fitting to you.

However, there is no employment which is gainful if there is removed from the doer of such work the consciousness of the true motivation of all labor; that is, the glory, the worship, and the rejoicing in the presence and the power of the love of Christ which lies behind and is the motivation for all labor.

There is no less joy in working over columns of figures or recalcitrant earth than there is in studying the most exalted thoughts and sayings, if both tasks be done in equal consciousness of the end of all labor. Be you, therefore, mindful, as you work and as you rest from work, that all things adumbrate to the glory of the Creator, or the hollow echo of your weary soul shall fail to satisfy, whatever your labor.
