I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from the Prologue and the concept of Don, Carla, and Jim living The Choice:

Prologue

We humans take greater responsibility for our behavior as we mature emotionally and spiritually. This happens earlier for some of us than for others, but there’s no getting around it: at some point in our evolution throughout many lifetimes[AB1] , each of us begins to notice whether our thoughts and deeds are selfish or unselfish. We become aware of a personal preference to love and serve all others, or to love and serve only the self, and we begin to bend our will toward the chosen path.

The third density of evolution in which we now find ourselves, what you could see as the third of seven grades in a school of souls, is a time for awakening to our spiritual nature and making this Choice. Each incarnation in this density is a chance to awaken anew, to make this Choice, and to commit ever more strongly to a path of service to the One Infinite Creator. For those of us who wish to serve others—presumably many who read this book—this manifests as  a yearning to peer through the illusion of separation, to begin to grasp the unity of all things, and to love all as One, ourselves included but not set above other-selves. Though there is no universal way of describing this phenomenon, the Choice is the defining feature of our third-density experience. As Ra says, it is “the axis upon which the creation turns,” while “the remainder of the densities is continuous refining of the Choice.”

Carla, Don, and Jim: Living the Choice

I would like to share some major life events that illustrate how Don, Carla and I chose to be of service to others in our lives. Some of these things happened long before we met one another, but I believe that the choices we made in certain pivotal moments helped to bring us together so that the Ra contact could one day come to pass. It is amazing to look back and see how it all came together. I do believe that in each moment that a seeker makes conscious, polarized choices, a wealth of opportunity to continue along the chosen path is drawn into the life experience. This phenomenon seemed to be at work with Don, Carla, and me and Ra even stated this general principle in 94.12:

Questioner: It seems to me that the Experience of the Mind would act in such a way as to change the nature of the veil so that catalyst would be filtered so as to be more acceptable in the bias that is increasingly chosen by the entity. For instance, if the entity had chosen the right-hand path the Experience of the Mind would change the permeability of the veil to accept more and more positive catalyst, and also the other would be true for accepting more negative if the left-hand path were the one that was repeatedly chosen. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is not only correct but there is a further ramification. As the entity increases in experience it shall, more and more, choose positive interpretations of catalyst if it is upon the service-to-others path and negative interpretations of catalyst if its experience has been along the service-to-self path.

Early this morning I had an appointment with my foot doctor to see how the stress fracture in my left foot is doing. It has been six weeks now that I have been wearing the big boot. He said that the calcium continues to form around the fracture, but he also said that I need to wear the boot for another three weeks. Then I will be done with it. I ran some errands on the way home, and my first stop was at the Rainbow Blossom Health Food Store to buy some tea. My next stop was a Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy some ice cream, Tylenol, and moisturizing cream. My third stop was at The Home Depot where I bought some netting to put over some of my flowers to keep the deer from eating them.

This afternoon I went outside and spread some of that netting over the day lily leaves that are coming up now. Then I used my hedge clippers to trim back the giant hibiscus stalks to a shorter size. Then I used the hedge clippers on the three areas in the back yard that have the tall striped grasses that I cut back last week. I also shortened them so that they look better. My last job was to take some of the long stems of the climbing rose in the back yard and spread them onto the other two lattice works of the three-sized trellis so that the entire trellis can become covered by the climbing rose even though the other two sides of the trellis no longer have any climbing roses.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

Realization And Confusion

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

Woe to the pilgrim who sits down upon the way, having decided that the wisdom which has come to him shall be the basis from which he shall view the world. For realization cannot be attained. It can only be accepted.

Realization cannot be retained, but only experienced anew in each infinitely small moment.

Thus, it is the pilgrim who walks on with appreciation both for realizations and confusions; who walks the straight and narrow path placing one foot before another, not because of the surety of the point of view but because of the faith of one who laughs at unseen steps, knowing that the path is protected, as is all creation, by the very nature of the creation of love, which is the ultimate reality.

We leave you in the peace of alpha and omega, the joy of love, 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.
