I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Two and the concept of a choice in perspective:
A Choice In Perspective
In Living the Law of One 101: The Choice, pg. 27, Carla defined the difference between “game” and “Game” when referring to how we can live our lives:
“In the Introduction I suggested that the information in this book helps you to live well. It helps you to become familiar with the rules of the Gameboard. It is about being able to make informed choices in this life. And it is about knowing why.
Throughout this book, I use the capitalized Game and Gameboard to talk about spiritual seeking and making The Choice. I use the lower-case terms of game, gameboard and choice to talk about the choice we make within our flat-gameboard society without regard to spiritual values.
The Game of Life is about becoming an ethically motivated human being. The game of life with which we are already familiar is about getting by, amassing resources and taking care of our families. That lower-case gameboard inevitably brings us to spiritual crises. However, it does not furnish us with clear guidelines for choice.”
Our third-density experience is all about making The Choice of our polarity that will allow us to polarize our consciousness either in service to others or in service to self. Q’uo gave a clear definition of the nature of this Choice:
This choice is a choice of polarity. It is a choice between choosing to love, include and accept, with compassion [for] all things and beings as part of one Creator, and the choice of seeing all entities as those who may be able to serve you. It is a choice of service to others or service to self.
It is a simple choice. It is not an intellectually staggering thing to determine when you are being kind, inclusive and compassionate, and when you are being unkind, un-inclusive and non-compassionate.
As simple as this choice is, it is not a choice that many of your peoples have found easy to penetrate with a stable determination to follow either the ways of service to others or service to self. Q’uo, December 10, 2006.
In 17.32-.32, Ra gave the percentages that the service-to-others and service-to-self polarities would need to manifest in order to be graduated to the fourth density:
Questioner: Thank you very much. I don’t wish to take up extra time by asking questions over again. Some are so important I try to ask some similar questions in different ways to expand on the answer. Seems to be [inaudible] what we’re getting at, maybe not.
In the book Oahspe it states that if an individual is more than fifty percent for others— that is, goes over the 50% service to others, and is less than fifty percent for service to self, then he is harvestable. Is this a correct statement?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct if the harvesting is to be for the positive fourth dimensional level.
Questioner: What must be the entity’s percentage, shall we say, if he is to be harvested for the negative?
Ra: I am Ra. The entity who wishes to pursue the path of service to self must attain a grade of five, that is five percent service to others, ninety-five percent service to self. It must approach totality. The negative path is quite difficult to attain harvestability upon and requires great dedication.
And this Choice is a choice that we do not make only once, but we make it continuously in order to keep our polarization in consciousness more and more powerful and effective in advancing us on our spiritual paths as Carla said in the quote from Living the Law of One 101: The Choice (pg.59):
“An interesting feature of taking either path of increasing polarization is the cornerstone importance of the First Choice for service to others or service to self which you make with full awareness of the significance of such a Choice. If you have put your whole self behind this First Choice, it is as though you had dug out and leveled the base of your metaphysical “house,” made the forms and poured the concrete for its foundation.
Now that your foundation Choice has been made to be of service to others, you have made your first move in the Game of Life. This remainder of the incarnation is your allotted time to continue to play this Game of Life you have begun.
Each consecutive service-to-others ethical decision which you make doubles your positive polarity. If you falter and make a service-to-self choice, you have to begin another series of consistenly love-filled choices in order to polarize further.”
As we seek to make our choices of service to others on a consistent basis we often find that we are faced with emotional catalyst through the mirroring effect that is hard to deal with. Q’uo gave some suggestions as to how such catalyst may be observed:
The great value of groups that come together in order to serve is that they reflect two ways. They reflect out into the world, as is the conscious intention of such a group. One is able to create, as an offer to the community, projects and systematic attempts to serve that are able to be offered over a period of time with steadiness and stability. This takes a group of people out of themselves and lets them have a look at living their beliefs in such a way that they are truly of service to others.
The hidden benefit of such a group is the opportunity that the members of such a group offer to each other for learning about themselves. This instrument has spoken often about the mirroring effect of other people in her life. And certainly, this mirroring effect is greatly enhanced when a group which is conscious of wishing to be of service comes together in commonality of purpose and offers friendship and companionship, one to the other.
Each entity becomes a mirror that reflects back to the self what the self is creating and expressing within that group. Certainly, many of the reflections which one receives from such a hall of mirrors, as this instrument has called a spiritually-oriented group, may be warped or distorted in some way, therefore not offering a completely accurate image. However, the colorations and distortions offered by each entity within the group are in themselves interesting and offer in some cases that precious item which is so often under-appreciated by your peoples; that is catalyst. Even those who may see you in a critical or otherwise distorted fashion are of benefit to you in that they offer you material upon which to work both by using your powers of analysis and your powers of intuition and insight. Q’uo, August 24, 2005.
Frequently spiritual seekers of truth join together with those of like mind to offer service to the world around them in one way or another according to the interests and combined abilities of those in the group. As they participate in this service there is also a more personal interaction that Q’uo describe as the “mirroring effect” that can present catalyst according to how the individuals within the group see each other from time to time and how they share what they see with each other even when, or especially when, it is of an unexpectedly critical or negative nature. When such catalyst is experienced Q’uo suggested that it is well if the one experiencing such catalyst use the tools of intellectual analysis, intuition, and insight to attempt to distill the relevant information from the catalyst. I believe that the intellectual analysis is a good place to begin processing the catalyst, but the insight that can be gained from utilizing one’s intuition might be the tool that could provide the most valuable information in seeing to the heart of the experience for the seeker. This could be seen as the work of the Player on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.
This ends the re-write of Chapter Two, and I would like to let everyone know that Chapter Three will focus on how we can prepare ourselves for the higher Game, how to live our lives consciously in a way that enables us to process our catalyst so that we can grow and polarize our consciousness in the service-to-others sense as Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.
This morning a friend joined me in transplanting more flowers into the Ruins Mound and the flower garden in the center of the Moss Garden. She is from southern Illinois and will be helping me this weekend get ready for our Homecoming Gathering at the end of May by helping me complete the transplanting of flowers and also the washing of windows. The process is almost complete.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
April 29
The Inarticulate Voice
I am the spirit of the consciousness of love and I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ.
We are principles of consciousness, the kind of consciousness in which all distorted consciousnesses have their origin.
As in all consciousness, we are inarticulate messengers and are able to impress the paradigms and motivations of love upon the mind and heart of the pilgrim only to the extent that the consciousness of the pilgrim is slanted towards the bias of the articulation of love’s message for each and for the harmony of creation.
Thus, even if one seeks the voice of the spirit, it is also well to seek the consciousness of intuition and articulation of feelings. For it is in small and often inarticulate ways that the voice of the spirit speaks. And it is the wise pilgrim which has prepared the mind and heart for that still, small voice, expecting not the poverty of intellectual articulation but the riches of clear bias.
We leave you in peace, both now and always. 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.
