I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of karma:
Karma
Questioner: Thank you. Would you define karma?
Ra: I am Ra. Our understanding of karma is that which may be called inertia. Those actions which are put into motion will continue, using the ways of balancing, until such time as the controlling or higher principle, which you may liken unto your braking, or stopping, is invoked. This stoppage of the inertia of action may be called forgiveness. These two concepts are inseparable.[1]
These “actions that are put in motion” are the result of both our pre-incarnative and incarnative choices and make up the lessons that we wish to learn within this third-density illusion. At some point in our journey of reincarnating through various lifetimes, we become conscious of the incarnational process, and we are able to program these lessons for ourselves. Previous to our becoming consciously aware of this process these lessons are programmed for us by our inner teachers and guides—and sometimes by the sub-Logos, our sun. These entities assess the needs of our energy body to allow the love/light of the One Creator to eventually flow as freely as possible through our chakras and allow us to express our natural selves in an ever more efficient way. Ra spoke about this process in 54.17:
Questioner: I would like then to trace the evolution of catalyst upon the mind/body/spirit complexes and how it comes into use and is fully used to create this tuning. I assume that the sub-Logos that formed our tiny part of the creation using the intelligence of the Logos of which it is a part, provides, shall I say, the base catalyst that will act upon mind/body complexes and mind/body/spirit complexes before they reach the state of development where they can begin to program their own catalyst. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct. The sub-Logos offers the catalyst at the lower levels of energy, the first triad; these have to do with the survival of the physical complex. The higher centers gain catalyst from the biases of the mind/body/spirit complex itself in response to all random and directed experiences.
Thus the less developed entity will perceive the catalyst about it in terms of survival of the physical complex with the distortions which are preferred. The more conscious entity, being conscious of the catalytic process, will begin to transform the catalyst offered by the sub-Logos into catalyst which may act upon the higher energy nexi. Thus the sub-Logos can offer only a basic skeleton, shall we say, of catalyst. The muscles and flesh having to do with the, shall we say, survival of wisdom, love, compassion, and service are brought about by the action of the mind/body/spirit complex on basic catalyst so as to create a more complex catalyst which may in turn be used to form distortions within these higher energy centers.
The more advanced the entity, the more tenuous the connection between the sub-Logos and the perceived catalyst until, finally, all catalyst is chosen, generated, and manufactured by the self, for the self.
It seems that our lessons are ideally limited to just a few per lifetime so that we do not become overwhelmed and confused. The cycle of 75,000 years for third density gives us much time and many incarnations to attempt to learn all of these lessons which have as their ultimate goal the opening of the heart in unconditional love for all. Q’uo gave a general outline of this process:
Before this incarnation each of you planned what the shape and the direction of the incarnation would be. You and your guidance system gazed at your soul stream and its balances of power, love and wisdom and you devised an incarnation with themes or incarnational lessons, if you will, using the metaphor of the School of Earth being one which distills and refines souls.
You chose relationships that would challenge you and support you. And, looking at your incarnational themes, you devised situations which were rich in catalyst. Redundancy was built into this plan. You prepared yourself with far more relationships than you would need, just to be sure that, if you kept backing away from a situation that involved an incarnational lesson, you would never run out of replacement situations that would sound the same theme and bring forward the same opportunities to adjust the balances of love, power and wisdom within your energy body.
Consequently, when you awakened as a seeker, you began to be aware of the repetitive nature of these themes. You saw that the lesson that you had put before yourself in order to work on these balances that are so important to your soul stream would be given to you again and again. Q’uo, May 9, 2009.
Since our goal of opening our hearts in unconditional love involves the green-ray chakra, most of the pre-incarnatively programmed circumstances involve opportunities to balance the lower three chakras and exercise them in a polarized way. In general, we will be working to become aware and accepting of our sexual nature, seeking reproduction and survival for ourselves and our species in ways that are self-aware and hopefully influenced by green-ray love. In the orange-ray chakra we will be working with knowing and accepting ourselves as unique individuals with certain eccentricities that we exhibit in our one-on-one relationships: with a parent, a friend, a teacher, a neighbor, et cetera. In the yellow-ray chakra we expand our expression of personal power into the larger group of family, classroom, workplace, and so forth. Eventually it is hoped that we also can exercise our will to choose service to others, bringing this Choice to bear upon the activity of the lower three chakras.
All catalyst that is programmed or drawn to us will be processed beginning with its entry into the red ray and moving upward through the energy body. It will then be our goal in each incarnation to be able to balance those qualities which we expressed so that we may discover and accept that each quality has an antithesis within the deepest portion of our being.
As we observe ourselves, a good goal is to notice patterns of difficulty or behavior in our lives that may indicate a repeated opportunity for balancing the self. These patterns are related to our karma, the continuing actions that are put into motion. Here Ra gave us the basic means by which karma is balanced or removed:
Questioner: You stated yesterday that forgiveness is the eradicator of karma. I am assuming that balanced forgiveness for the full eradication of karma would require forgiveness not only of other-selves, but forgiveness of self. Am I correct?
I am Ra. You are correct. We will briefly expand upon this understanding in order to clarify.
Forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self. An understanding of this insists upon full forgiveness upon the conscious level of self and other-self, for they are one. A full forgiveness is thus impossible without the inclusion of self.
Q’uo gave a very inspiring definition of forgiveness of ourselves and of others that we can use to stop the wheel of karma:
Forgiveness is first the turning to a power greater than yourself, and a giving to that power of an entire situation, that you may be given the consolation and the healing that you require in order to forgive yourself, whether you are the wronged one or the self-perceived wrong doer. There is always a lack of forgiveness of the self that seems to be held more tightly than the forgiveness of others. You gaze too close into the mirror of this illusion and your manifestation within it. Your birthright is to be forgiven, to realize each self-perceived error and to forgive oneself for it, and move on.
Thus, you come to a respect, and an honoring, and a loving, and a nurturing of yourself. The key to forgiveness of others is the forgiveness of the self. Release, release, release, give back to the forces of the universe those energies which are easily absorbed in infinity, and leave them not to pollute your own feelings, your mind, or your heart, but rather let forgiveness flow as a sweet river under the surface of all that you do and say. Q’uo, June 23, 1990.
So forgiveness could be considered one of the most important of spiritual practices that we can use on our spiritual journeys. Indeed, in Matthew 18, Jesus mentioned how we could best approach the concept of forgiveness:
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
So since 7 X 70 is 490, I believe that Jesus meant that we should always forgive any other person for any perceived wrongs we feel were done by them to us. And I believe that we should also do the same for them and for ourselves. Thusly do we stop the wheel of karma and clear the path of our spiritual journeys to move forward once again as clearer reflections of our natural selves.
This morning I changed the sheets and pillow cases on my bed and did my usual cleaning around and under the bed that I always do when I change my bedding. Then I did the laundry which involved ironing the flat sheet that I had just taken off of my bed. The fitted sheet doesn’t need ironing because it fits so tightly on my mattress that all wrinkles are stretched out into a smooth uniformity.
This afternoon Austin came over and helped me to record the Appendix to Carla’s A Book of Days: Channelings From The Holy Spirit. In this Appendix Carla shared her process of the tuning and challenging of spirits that she always used when engaged in the channeling process. I have always enjoyed recording any words that Carla has written as she always had such a loving and informed way of sharing her thoughts and her life pattern.
For the work portion of the afternoon I completed getting the Weigela tree limbs in garbage cans and tied up in bundles for the larger ones for yard waster pickup later this week. Then I used my nippers and cut back the dead Snowball Hydrangea stalks so that the new ones coming in from the roots will have room to grow.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 1
Endless Centers Of Love
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in full consciousness; the consciousness which is all that there is; the consciousness of love.
You sit. You listen inwardly. And your universe contracts as meditation lifts you and silence greets you with profound wisdom. Slowly you feel yourself expand. And you are aware of the love all about you: the creatures that fly and walk and crawl and swim, the very motes of dust in the air, the blessed sunshine or the equally blessed rain giving glory to the Father. And as you meditate, your universe expands even more.
You are aware that you are an integral part of the sphere upon which you live. The world is your neighborhood. All the sunshine and all the rain of all the world are within you; within the heart; within the consciousness.
Then your consciousness takes flight and moves away until your home sphere is no longer visible and all about you are endless centers of love, radiating, radiating, radiating.
And as you expand further, you discover that all of the infinite creation—every star, every planet, every ray of sunshine and every creature—lies within your consciousness. For you and the creation are one.
Now, you are still sitting upon your blanket, or upon your couch or chair. Yet, the universe is now inside you and you feel its balance and its grace. You feel also your balance, your grace, and the infinite love that created all that there is. Nothing is alien to you. All is love. Open your hearts to that infinite truth.
We leave you in peace and 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.
