I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 5, 1987:
(From Carla.) Concerning exceeding one’s limitations in the hopes of maintaining a positive attitude under adverse circumstances. For her, it’s physical health. How do you know that you’ve done all you can, without pushing too far and injuring yourself by the pushing, and how do you be sure that you’ve pushed far enough to maintain the positive point of view and enhance your chances of healing thereby?
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. As dusk falls about your domicile, and your metaphysical circle becomes complete, many spirits range around this happy abode, rejoicing in the thanksgiving of friends who work in light for planetary healing. We all greet you and know that you greet us as you greet the sunshine, for we are truly intending help. Just as the sun shines on all, so do we, yet not all are equally able to absorb and thrive within the sun’s hot rays. Just so, in the former case.
Carla provided the group question in this session for a woman who was concerned about exceeding her physical limitations under adverse conditions. She asked how she could determine whether she had gone far enough and also how to know when she had gone too far. Carla could well have been speaking of herself in this question as Ra frequently mentioned how she tended to exceed her limitations as they described in 60.4:
Questioner: You are saying, then, that the physical distortions that the instrument experienced are part of a balancing process? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The physical distortions are a result of the instrument’s not accepting fully the limitations placed prior to incarnation upon the activities of the entity once it had begun the working. The distortions caused by this working, which are inevitable given the plan chosen by this entity, are limitation and, to a degree consonant with the amount of vital and physical energy expended, weariness, due to that which is the equivalent in this instrument of many, many hours of harsh physical labor.
This is why we suggested the instrument’s thoughts dwelling upon the possibility of its suggesting to its higher self the possibility of some slight reservation of energy at a working. This instrument at this time is quite open until all resources are quite exhausted. This is well if desired. However, it will, shall we say, shorten the number of workings in what you may call the long run.
We move to the query this evening which has to do with limitations. If one has a frog in a lily pond, and encourages the frog to jump to another lily pad in the pond, the frog either will be able to make it, or will not be able to make it. There are limits beyond which a frog knows, in his small mind, that he cannot go. There is a safe distance, and then there is the border, that space which the human will, if you will, might address and achieve by giving an all-out effort. You will notice in the case of the frog, there is no moral impulse or communication of the kind typical of self-conscious entities, in order that he may speak with, reason with, or argue against what the Creator has ordained for him in the way of proximity of lily pads.
Each human has many, many resources available each time that it desires to know the precise limitation which it may accept in serenity and tranquility. As always, the answers lie first within, and then from empirical experience, for the true author of peace and love within each life is the life, is the peaceful and loving entity which is…

(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo, and am again with the instrument. We apologize for the pause, but it was indeed necessary in order to avoid the loss of the contact. To continue.
The self-conscious entity within your density, unlike a frog, has many tools and resources at its disposal. The lily pads in the third-density existence are some physical and some nonphysical. The self-conscious entity manipulates the things about him which may be manipulated in order to please and comfort the self. However, many trials, troubles and challenges can be met with no rational or objective point of view. It is in these cases that discernment and judgment take their place beside prudence, all of these being subservient to and corollary of constant, daily, regular and disciplined communication from humankind to the Creator and from the Creator to humankind. Much of the individual identity of each person upon your planetary sphere resides yet within the Logos, the one great original Thought which is Love.
Thus, when one says, “It is the Creator’s will,” one is not separating oneself from the Creator. One is rather acknowledging the relationship betwixt the shell of self which serves in an illusion and the core and heart of Self which resides in its true native land, a heavenly home not fitted out with harps and wings, but, rather, filled with light.
Q’uo began their answer by using the example of a frog jumping from lily pad to lily pad in a pond and only being capable of making the jump or not making the jump with no means of communication to a higher source such as the Creator. Then Q’uo said that self-conscious entities have many more resources to call upon in deciding how far one may safely go which include judgement, analysis, and also the use of meditation to receive communication from the Creator. On September 8, 1996, Q’uo elaborated on how to use meditation to receive communication from the Creator that could help us make decisions:
This is the central question of this meeting, for it has been asked of us when and how to know that still, small voice, and it is this voice that we could suggest that one listen to in order to know those times when it is appropriate to jump and those times when it is appropriate to wait. Thus, in all situations in which there is doubt it is our recommendation that one practice meditation. Meditate upon the action or inaction, for as long as it is necessary for you to hear that voice and to feel that impulse in one direction or the other. As we stated previously, it may happen in a moment. It may take a great deal of time, and while this process is going on, again we counsel faith that the process itself and the action itself and the entire incarnation will unfold as each should, for this is not a universe in which chance plays a significant part.
The queries which have to do with health often do not take into account the complex nature of energy blockages, thus, whether one presses hard on or accepts with grace a growing disability, it is one’s offering of the self in thanksgiving and praise to the Creator which causes the life experience to become valuable. There are in each case reasons for and against doing too much for the physical, mental or emotional self to handle. Logic will not open this particular tin of sardines, shall we say. Packed neatly though they be, it is necessary for one to seek beyond the rational, in the land of mystery and hunch, wherein lies that greater portion of yourself which is the Creator, and has available to it far, far more of that which it is important for you, the seeker, to know than the conscious mind could ever produce.
Like a tree growing at the edge of a forest, a person who steps out a bit beyond that which others in the same condition do, is more noticed, for they are no longer of the forest, but dwell at the edge of the forest in pasture land. People, therefore, will view this particular tree as being different from the forest. In just such a way is an entity who is driven to produce visible fruits within the lifetime no longer a member of the crowd, but an individual. Yet, all trees are of the forest, whether in city streets or in the deepest jungle, the only difference being weather conditions which allow some to flourish in one place, and some another.
In just such a way, a seeker may feel that because it is in the limelight, so to speak, and entities within the forest of trees and dear ones are looking on in expectation, that all will be vigorous and well. This perception does harm to a balanced viewpoint having to do with the will of the Creator. And just as such a physically, mentally or emotionally ailing person…
[Pause]
We are sorry for the pause. We are attempting to regain contact. There is some pain.
I am Q’uo, and will cut this short, greeting each in love and light, for an end, and concluding our thought. Even though an ailing entity may be visible and an inspiration to many who enjoy the peaceful, serene health of foresthood, yet nevertheless, each tree is a part of the forest, and it does not aid in the development of the disciplines of the personality to regret any portion of that which occurs. It is appropriate, rather, to go always into meditation and to wait in hope, in faith and in an alertness to hear that great call which may seem like nothing so much as a small sound or movement, yet subjectively it is everything, for each question, time and light shall offer the answer.
Q’uo mentioned that in considering health there are often energy center blockages which cause problems, and whether we accept them or try to overcome them, the most important response we can make is to offer our experience to the Creator in praise and thanksgiving that we may help the Creator to know Itself better. Beyond this primary service to the Creator, our logic cannot fathom whether we should do more or less to better our health. Rather, Q’uo recommended that we move into the realm of the mystery of the Creator to seek direction in meditation as a unique soul or, much like one tree in a forest of trees, who seeks in faith the answer as to the direction that is guided by light. On March 6, 1993, Q’uo suggested meditation as the means to seek healing:
The challenge you have before you is to seek within and through that veil, that you might glean greater and greater portions of the great plan for your evolution which you have created by your choice before this incarnation. Therefore, it is always our suggestion when asked concerning how to accomplish healing that the first step be to seek in meditation the nature of the lesson which stands before you when you experience what you call disease, whether it be of mind, body or spirit. To seek within is to look in the only direction which you shall find a clear reflection, for you have chosen the experience which you face, and it is that inner being which has chosen it. To look elsewhere is to invite a less than clear perception of what the nature of your experience is.
We ask each to remember that twin values are sometimes antithetical. Prudence and bearing are two such. Let the courageous become more sensible, and let the overprudent go forth rejoicing in an abandon long denied.
We would now transfer to the one known as Jim in case there may be any questions. We leave you in love and light, and are known to you as those of Q’uo.
This morning I resumed my painting process by taking the grey paint that I painted the porch with yesterday to the basement where floor is also a shade of grey but with some places where water has puddled and the paint has bubbled and peeled away leaving a black color. I painted those black spots with the porch paint which isn’t the same shade of grey as the basement, but the floor looks much better than it did before I painted the black spots. Then I returned to the front porch and painted the frames of the three windows of the office with white paint.
Then this afternoon I took time out from painting to drain a quarter of the water from the fish pond and refilled it with fresh water. I used the water from the fish pond to water the gardens around the fish pond. Then I painted the frames of the three windows of my bedroom, which face the front of the house, white as well.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
September 20
Patience
Greetings in the love of Jesus the Christ. I am the spirit of the consciousness of Christ in the vibration which comforts this instrument.
My child, why do you bustle about within your mind, sorting and sifting the details of mundane experience in a ceaseless attempt to make order out of chaos? There is great virtue in being patient enough to allow the eddies and rhythms of a complex situation to form a coherent pattern. As you become gradually aware of the pattern, you are then far more able to discern the service which has been prepared for you to accomplish.
Peace and grace be with you.
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.
