The Higher Self
The concept of the Higher Self, a self that encompasses us and yet exceeds us as well, is one of the basic guides spoken of in the great variety of spiritual philosophies. Ra suggested that our Higher Self is a resource that exists to aid us on our spiritual journeys and has various ways to do so as they mentioned in this quote:
The Higher Self aspect is aware of the lessons learned through the sixth density. The progress rate is fairly well understood. The choices which must be made to achieve the Higher Self as it is are in the provenance of the mind/body/spirit complex itself.
Thus the Higher Self is like the map in which the destination is known; the roads are very well known, these roads being designed by intelligent infinity working through intelligent energy. However, the Higher Self aspect can program only for the lessons and certain predisposing limitations if it wishes. The remainder is completely the free choice of each entity. There is the perfect balance between the known and the unknown. 36.7
Our Higher Self has a complete knowledge of the lessons that we will pursue from the third density, the fourth density, the fifth density, and through the sixth density. Each of us will work with our Higher Selves in between our incarnations to select the appropriate lessons for us to learn at the most appropriate time and in a way that is unique to us. In 71.6, Ra described how our Higher Self aids us in the review and healing of our incarnations and then helps us to choose lessons for the next incarnation:
Questioner: As an entity goes through the death process in third density and finds itself in time/space, it finds itself in a different set of circumstances. Would you please describe the properties or circumstances of time/space and then the process of healing of incarnative experiences that some entities encounter?
Ra: I am Ra. Although this query is difficult to answer adequately due to the limitations of your space/time sound vibration complexes, we shall respond to the best of our ability.
The hallmark of time/space is the inequity between time and space. In your space/time the spatial orientation of material causes a tangible framework for illusion. In time/space the inequity is upon the shoulders of that property known to you as time. This property renders entities and experiences intangible in a relative sense. In your framework each particle or core vibration moves at a velocity which approaches what you call the speed of light from the direction of supraluminal velocities.
Thus the time/space or metaphysical experience is that which is very finely tuned and, although an analog of space/time, lacking in its tangible characteristics. In these metaphysical planes there is a great deal of what you call time which is used to review and re-review the biases and learn/teachings of a prior, as you would call it, space/time incarnation.
The extreme fluidity of these regions makes it possible for much to be penetrated which must needs be absorbed before the process of healing of an entity may be accomplished. Each entity is located in a somewhat immobile state much as you are located in space/time in a somewhat immobile state in time. In this immobile space the entity has been placed by the form-maker and higher self so that it may be in the proper configuration for learn/teaching that which it has received in the space/time incarnation.
Depending upon this time/space locus there will be certain helpers which assist in this healing process. The process involves seeing in full the experience, seeing it against the backdrop of the mind/body/spirit complex total experience, forgiving the self for all missteps as regards the missed guideposts during the incarnation and, finally, the careful assessment of the next necessities for learning. This is done entirely by the higher self until an entity has become conscious in space/time of the process and means of spiritual evolution at which time the entity will consciously take part in all decisions.
In the following quote Q’uo gives a very detailed description regarding how our Higher Self can give us the guidance that we need and can understand at the appropriate time:
My brother, the higher self can offer inspiration concerning the highest and best path to follow in an ethical situation. When asked concerning where the highest and best path is, there is a fairly reliable tendency for the higher self to be able to respond.
However, the higher self is a guidance system, a resource left to you by yourself. It is not designed to do your thinking for you or to open paths that for one reason or another are not in your life path. Consequently, it may seem sometimes as though the higher self is not forthcoming. If the higher self then, the guidance system that you trust, is not forthcoming on an issue, that will tell you something. That will tell you that you are in an area where you are asking more than that guidance system can offer.
We see in this instrument’s mind the ancient joke concerning the grandmother whose grandchild is playing at the shore. A huge wave comes and sweeps away the boy and she is running up and down the shore pleading to God to bring the boy back. After several minutes of this prayer, the little boy is dumped onto the shore, safe and sound. The grandmother rushes to him, checks him over from stem to stern, and then looks up at the sky and says, “God, he had a hat.”
My brother, it may be possible that you will lose your hat. Storms come, and suffering ensues. If you can stay in that fire of suffering and ask it for its gifts, out of that suffering will come spiritual maturity, lessons painfully but gratefully learned, and a surcease to that suffering. We would suggest that when the spirit within does not seem to be accommodating it is well to review your attitudes, your assumptions, and your requests of the guidance system that you trust. Realize that it is bound by the Law of Confusion and give thanks for the guidance it is able to give you.
We are sorry not to be clearer for we realize that it seems to you that somehow nothing should be withheld from those who truly seek. Yet we would ask you if you would consider it withholding from a third grader the principles of calculus or solid geometry. Sometimes, my brother, requests are made of spirit that cannot be fulfilled because you, as an entity, have not had the preceding information seated within your heart and mind. When you feel that you have been given less than you wish by the Holy Spirit or by your higher self, it is helpful to accept that which is given and accept as well that which is not given in the humble and earnest hope that life and learning will bring to you the requisite knowledge in order that you may indeed wrap your mind around and understand calculus and solid geometry.
It is difficult to wait for spiritual maturity to develop within the self and it is equally difficult to do so without blaming the self somehow for not being able from the beginning to know all that is needed in order for spiritual enlightenment. All we can say to you, my brother, is that we encourage you to have patience and in your humility acknowledge that you will gladly take that which can be learned by you today. And you will ask again and again until such time as you have the maturity to understand the response. Q’uo, April 2, 2011.
This morning I was on a zoom meet with Erez Batat who is facilitating the translation of the Ra contact and the Law of One into Hebrew. He and his translation team are located in Jerusalem, and Erez wanted me to express my gratitude to his team for the work that they are doing. It was an honor to do so because they are making the Law of One available to a whole new group of people on Earth, and that is a blessing for everyone.
This afternoon I went outside and used my chainsaw to cut up the Dogwood tree that was blown down last Friday night in the heavy windstorm that settled in to central Kentucky. I filled three more garbage cans with the small branches of the tree and got quite a bit of firewood from the trunk and larger branches. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the sawdust into the bushes where it will become a kind of fertilizer for the bushes.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

Rest In Change
I am of the spirit of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine love.
Change is a constant in nature and a necessity in God’s plan for the development of His people. As the seasons change, the eyes of your hearts do not perhaps notice nature’s economy in dealing with constant change. Perhaps it has not been seen that change can be graceful and beautiful.
The creation of the Father rests in change and is always at peace. Therefore there is not more displacement than is necessary, not more travail than required. And though the earth may heave with frost or fall into dust with drought, yet still it does not thrash about in fear.
Know that the seasons of the soul are sometimes short and sometimes very long. There is a constant movement or process of change, sometimes slow and sometimes quick. Instead of agitation and worry it is possible to meet these changes fearlessly, gracefully and peacefully, resting in change, trusting in the goodness of the Father’s plan.
May each so rest, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
