I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Five and the concept of the team—finding synergy with the people at work:

The “Team”—finding synergy with people at work

If a team entails people working together to reach a common goal, it would seem that most people who would be part of a team would have the opportunity to be of service to others by the very nature of their interaction with others on the team. I think that this would be particularly true in the work place as the goal of such work would be to produce some product or service that could be sold and provide each person on the team a means of financial support. It would also be most helpful if the product or service that was provided by the team was such as to truly be helpful to those who would purchase it.

The various members of the team in the workplace would ideally each have specific functions to perform in order for the team to be most effective in reaching its goals. This kind of teamwork would require that each member be capable of performing its particular part of the work in a way acceptable to the team. Each member would also need to be able to clearly communicate with other members of the team as a kind of grease to the wheels of smooth functioning. Q’uo gave some inspired advice as to how we may communicate in a synergistic way with the fellow members of the workplace team:

Beyond all considerations, the chief lessons of the enterprise have always to do with accepting love from others and giving love to others without pride, vanity or feelings of unworthiness. The work that each of you does in truly entering into the energies of each of you will create creative pathways that will link in a more, shall we say, telepathic or whole-concept level so that the synergy of energy fields becomes consciously validated by belief in the opinion of those present, thus freeing those energy exchanges between each to take place at an enhanced rate. Q’uo, March 7, 2002.

Sports teams are another kind of work that would have a similar function, as the goal would be to exercise power over other teams so that the victory would belong to only one team. That is the nature of both businesses and team sports as both participate in attempting to be more successful that their competitors. Both are players on the flat gameboard of life and need to be able to communicate with fellow team members in a clear and practical way in order to achieve their goals. However, people in both these areas of activity could also use their status within their careers to work in service-to-others ways within the larger community such as supporting various charitable organizations, help with disaster relief, becoming advocates for the homeless, and supporting programs like foster parenting. Ra spoke of the more restricted kind of sports team efforts as often utilizing the orange-ray chakras:

Others of your gadgets may be seen to be tools whereby the entity explores the capabilities of its physical or mental complexes and in some few cases, the spiritual complex, thus activating the orange ray in what you call your team sports and in other gadgets such as your modes of transport. These may be seen to be ways of investigating the feelings of power; more especially, power over others or a group power over another group of other-selves.

Any time we engage in team sports we are, as Ra said, “investigating the feelings of power” because the objective of any sport is to win the game just as the team in the workplace would like to create more sales. I would say that most of the time the exercise of this power over another team is done in the spirit of friendly competition without any negative thoughts of creating injury or any type of negative polarity. Of course it is possible that certain team members may take a different stance as we all are unique beings with our own expressions of purpose and power in our life patterns.

The same situation would apply to those fans who back their teams by attending their games and cheering for them. The term “fan” is short for “fanatic”, so I can easily imagine as a fan it could become possible to harbor less-than-loving thoughts for the other team and their fans. All of these exercises of power over others in team sports or workplace teams are explorations of the nature of how to relate to others in the overall picture of our life patterns. The more mature souls would find it possible to love their opponents or business competitors as another version of themselves and be gracious in victory and in defeat on the sports field and within the life pattern. Q’uo had some inspiring words to offer regarding expanding our concept of the purpose of teams:

In the yellow-ray energy center, there is the opportunity to expand the energies of the One Creator upon the level of the group. The entities that are united in a certain fashion that allows them to share a commonality that is expressed within the group, such as the home, or family, the school, the workplace, the team, and so forth. These energies, in the positive sense, are utilized in order to share the abilities of the group in what you might call the “training wheels phenomenon” that will later become, if the fourth-density harvest is achieved by the society, the social memory complex. In the yellow-ray energy center, however, before that complex forms, there is the opportunity to begin to relate to other groups as if there was a common goal or feature between what, in negative polarity, is seen as competing groups.

Thus, in the positive sense, the entities share that which is theirs, that which is unique to them, with that which is needed by others in a group sense, so that two groups then become much likened unto one group. In this positive sense then, each group becomes, in effect, the other group, so that there is one group as a result. Q’uo, September 17, 2019.

Whatever work we do as a team, whether in business or sports, is a means of coming together to achieve a commonly held goal. Q’uo called this the “training wheels phenomenon” and is simply a way in which we can pursue our spiritual path in being of service to others. This is the journey players that become Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.

This morning the presentations began on a variety of topics such as Compassion, 4D Practicum & Prophecy, Edgar Cayce and The Law of One, the Power of Sound and Music for Healing, an Improv Workshop, I Love you A Thousand Forty-Four, AI & The Law of One, and The Early Days of L/L Research with Don, Carla, & Jim. It always amazes me how our Homecoming folks are so open-hearted and service-to-others oriented.

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

From May 27

Hunger And Hope

I am the spirit of the living Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of love.

This instrument has been bewildered, as we have flooded the instrument with images of hunger, poverty, entities without homes, without shelter, without clothing, and without hope.

This is a part of the perfect beauty of your illusion. This is that which may be found, not just in other places, but in yours. The spirit of Christ speaks to the world in love, in peace, and in service. What shall you do this day to acknowledge that your very selves are hungry?

Seek in your heart to find a call to renew, revive and replenish the concept of hope, for you are the spirit of Christ in the world today. Your hands give heavenly food as well as provender.

Above all hunger and disorder, may you see the overriding and underlying peace of Jesus Christ, 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.
