I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from June 21, 1987:
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light. At this time we would offer ourselves in the capacity of attempting to respond to queries which those present may find have risen in the mind. As always, we remind each that we give but our opinion and wish that to be understood in order that we may speak freely without overweighing any consideration. May we ask if there is a query with which we may begin?
J: Yes, I have a question. It goes along the lines of the words that were just delivered. I’ve heard a lot of different things about the thought of the person [that] “takes their own life.” Some people seem to think that you hardly have a right to do that, and that you build up an awful lot of extra lessons, if you will, that you have to learn, as karma as some people want to call it, crime and punishment, however you want to view it. But I’ve heard other schools of thought that say that a person, since they are in charge of their own life and responsible for it, and a portion of the Creator, if you determine that that’s the end of it, you’ve done all you can here, you are justified, or you’ve had the right to go ahead and get out of this life.
Like I say, I’ve heard that both ways, and I tend to sort of lean toward the last one, but then again my gut feeling, my emotions, would sort of make me afraid to do something like that for fear that I would have to come back and learn a lot of things over again. Can you comment? And is the answer to that maybe just dependent upon the person’s belief system, maybe it’s that sort of thing?
I am Q’uo, and to answer in a general fashion is misleading, for each entity is one which pursues a course of learning which has been determined by that entity’s higher self to be appropriate, each course being pursued within the confines of what you call an incarnation, where the scope or reach of view and experience is limited by birth and death and the veil which separates the conscious and unconscious minds. Thus, it is not so much the act itself within any one incarnation which carries the potential of building a momentum or bias which needs to be balanced at some point within another incarnation that is of importance, but the biasing or building of momentum itself, no matter what the action is which builds this momentum.
For each entity within each incarnation seeks to pursue an exploration of the creation of the one Creator in a fashion which in a cumulative sense throughout all incarnations shall build as a structure of the soul, a foundation and framework which is balanced in nature, in order that the further evolutionary process may be constructed upon firm ground and partake of a symmetrical strength that reflects the wholeness and balance of creation. Thus does each individualized portion of the Creator reflect the wholeness and balance of the one Creator. The entity within any incarnation is the one Creator with the full rights and responsibilities, shall we say, that one may ascribe to such a portion of All That Is.
It may be, however, that when one leaves the boundaries of the incarnational experience, that the increased ability to view that which has come before and that which shall proceed from the incarnation will present to the entity a picture which will convince it that certain actions and thoughts within the incarnation are in need of further balancing experience or that which you call the karma. Thus, it may not be said with definite surety that any one action or even a series of actions or thoughts will guarantee that there will be the building of the momentum or karma that must be balanced within a future incarnation, for it may well be that such actions or thoughts are themselves the balance to previous ones which now in a completed sense will allow the entity to pursue further lessons in other areas.
J asked if it was more appropriate to say that one has no right to take one’s life as that would collect karma for the next life, or could one say that since it is your own life that you are taking that you have a right to do so. Q’uo began their answer by saying that there was no one simple answer as each entity enters the incarnation with a plan of how it shall be lived and when the life is over, and the higher self aids the entity in making this plan. They continued by saying that each incarnation is a constant building of the structure and seeking of the fullness of the one Creator that each entity is within any incarnation. Q’uo completed their answer by saying that it is only after the incarnation is over that one may look back upon that life and see if the taking of the life may have been a balancing act from a previous incarnation. On December 1, 1985, Latwii gave an overview of the concept of suicide:
In the case of the suicide, the choice to leave the incarnation and the illusion is made upon the conscious level, yet is made with a consciousness which has become distorted by the difficulties which are presented to it. In most cases the taking of one’s own life in such a conscious fashion cuts short that which remained full of potential, and therefore the entity so leaving finds the need within its own being to recommit itself to the illusion which was so abruptly left.
There are, however, again as you may imagine anomalistic circumstances under which the leaving of the incarnation even through this kind of means is undertaken as a, shall we say, lesson in itself, for any action may be appropriate with the proper motivation, and within your illusion it is most difficult to see any motivation clearly. Yours are the lessons learned in darkness, for as a small candle of light is lit, there is the ability to see small things with some difficulty but large things with little resolution. Thus, you carefully travel a dimly lit path and the forces that move about you move in darkness, and thus are you yourself moved by much which is unseen.
We cannot in this particular instance give you exact details concerning the one known as Don, the subject of your query and concern, for within this particular entity’s own death there was implanted the hope for a continued growth, and this was carried out. The repercussions are understandably immense, yet within these repercussions lie a promise, the nature of which we may not describe but may affirm only its existence.
May we speak further, my brother?
J: No, thank you. Thank you very much.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?
Carla: Maybe I didn’t understand you correctly. You said it depends upon the circumstance a little bit whether taking your own life would be balanced or imbalanced. And it just seems to me that any time you took your own life it would be a definite embracing of the path of that which is not, and therefore it would be an unbalanced act. You’re saying, then, that there are balanced suicides, are you not?
I am Q’uo, and we mean to leave the room for the possibilities that in some cases this is so. However, in the general run of the third-density incarnational experience, your assumption concerning the nature of the taking of one’s own life is correct in that it is a partaking in that separation of self from the incarnation which reflects the path of that which is not, and this path in its final form pulls that which is and there must eventually be the balanced point of view which the building of the karmic momentum will necessitate within a future, as you would call it, incarnational experience.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: Well, it comes to me that perhaps Jesus the Christ was one example when he turned towards Jerusalem of a man who basically committed suicide—he knew he was in trouble when he went there, I mean, he was telling people he was going to die and be raised in three days before he ever went there. And he knew all that was going to happen and it still happened to him, but he thought that he could save other people by it. Is that the kind of suicide that would perhaps qualify for being in balance?
I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister, for the taking of one’s life or the laying down of one’s life for the benefit of others is an action which partakes of that path which is and that path reflects the desire to give of the self in a manner which is of service to others, even if the giving requires that all which one has be given. Thus, one finds within your culture many instances in which the life is given for others and the giving may take a great portion of the incarnation, such as the sacrifices which many of the parents, as you call them, make for the offspring over a great portion of the incarnational experience. Or the giving may be of a moment’s inspiration, such as when one of the young soldiers, as you call them, throws itself in harm’s way in order that a comrade may survive.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: Then, this would presumably extend to psychic danger? If someone threw himself on a psychic grenade it would balance suicide more, wouldn’t it?
Q’uo: I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister. Though of far, far less occurrence, it is that which is indeed possible.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister.
C: Yes. Change the subject a little bit. Once the connection has been made between two people, whereby each can experience, each one is able to pick up on another’s problems or virtue, things of that nature, take on part of that to themselves rather than the other, fully experience it, such as one feels an emotional or physical pain and the other is able to absorb part of that. Once a connection like that has been made, does it ever break, short of death?
I am Q’uo, and this type of bonding between entities, my brother, is one which is of strength and soul significance, shall we say, and reflects the garnering of a great amount of experience, usually within a number of incarnations, though it is possible to build such connections within a single incarnation. These connections, when in place and functioning, are those pathways of communion which allow entities to share the conscious experience of the creation in a fashion which not even the process that you call death can separate. This type of connection, however, may be enhanced or reduced in its effect by the attention which is given it once it has been established. However…

(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. May we speak further, my brother?
C: How does it work if one doesn’t consciously seem to share the experience, yet it still occurs?
I am Q’uo. In this instance, my brother, we find the situation analogous to the piano which has been allowed to go out of tune. The melody is still recognizable, yet there is much of clarity which has been lost.
May we speak further, my brother?
C: I’m not sure I understand what you meant.
I am Q’uo. If one has neglected the conscious exercise of the pathway of communion that enables the consciousness of another to be shared with greater and greater clarity of perception and accuracy of perception, this accuracy and clarity will become somewhat muddied and unclear so that the finer nature of the emotions shared is lost and the more obvious or gross nature of the emotions is that which is communicated over the pathways which have been neglected, shall we say.
May we speak further, my brother?
C: No thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?
Carla: I have another query, but I’m still thinking about what you and C just went through, trying to see if I could work on that a little bit, because I thought that was interesting material you gave. I took it that C was saying, “At one time there was communion, and then at some point one stopped wishing communion. Can it be dissolved?” And basically you said, “It doesn’t get dissolved—it just goes out of tune.” Is that a correct perception of what you said? So, basically what you’re saying is, “By avoiding the harmonizing, or your desire not to communicate, deadens you, not the other person.” Is that what you’re saying?
I am Q’uo, and this is basically correct, yet it must be remembered that if such pathways are unused by the conscious neglect of either party, each will feel the deadening effect.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: No, not on that. I would like to ask a question about an experience that I had at the beginning of meditation. I was sitting with my hand in the other instrument’s hand and the other hand on the other side of my body and my feet touching at the ankles. And I got a heat buildup to the point where I couldn’t believe it—I was really steaming hot. For me that’s extremely unusual, especially in my feet. It got so uncomfortable, that just out of impulse I shifted my weight and I moved my feet apart and it felt like a breeze was blowing over me again, which is the way I usually feel when I’m sitting under a fan—which I am. What happened? Where was the heat coming from and why did it go away when I moved my heels apart?
I am Q’uo, and we find that there has been in this particular meditative gathering the influx of energies from our contact which has accentuated a difficulty with the heat-sensing portions of feet, specifically, that have been in recent times more sensitive than usual due to certain effects of the medications which you have been ingesting.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: That’s interesting. How did I change the situation by moving my feet? It was definitely that movement that changed things.
I am Q’uo, and this gross physical realignment of the feet was analogous to opening a circuit so that the energy in this case manifesting physically as heat was no longer able to move freely and was thus drained away as an open circuit is wont to do.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: Not on that subject, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you. my sister. Is there another query at this time?
J: I don’t have a query, but I do have a comment, because I felt the exact same thing. I was sitting over here burning up for about ten or fifteen minutes. And I believe I took my socks and shoes off and that helped a lot. I was grossly [inaudible], so it was the same thing.
I am Q’uo, and we shall comment upon your comment. We find that this particular group is one which has for some period of your time enjoyed a harmonic communion which allows an easy blending of the seeking energies, and this greatly enhances our ability to make contact with this group. And with this enhanced contact, each within the group may feel some physical manifestation, the heat being the most easily and commonly perceived manifestation of the harmonic blending of energies made possible by this particular group configuration. We apologize for any discomfort which our contact may cause and appreciate the comments which alert us to these discomforts.
Is there any further query at this time?
Carla: Well, I’ve been pondering over in my mind—I’m afraid when I channel I don’t really get everything. But it seems to me from what I’ve got out of the message, that we can help each other, not by throwing ourselves on physical grenades or even psychic grenades—that’s for heroes—but help each other by being there. In other words, it seems like sympathy, given out to another person, from some of the things that were said, is truly helpful if the other person catches enthusiasm from it or finds a more positive attitude from it.
It also seems that natural healers, people that can make contact with the harmonics of other people’s bodies and minds and souls, have got a real problem. How do they defend themselves from having a life-term relationship with everybody that they meet? How do they avoid the responsibility for what they know about people? Those were two other things that I pondered from the session. If you care to comment, I’d be grateful.
I am Q’uo, and, indeed, it is so, and has been designed in this fashion that each within your illusion has the ability to be of service to those about it in the most basic fashion of simply sharing whatever experience is of concern to another. If there is an experience which is difficult, in that disease or fear of any kind is brought into the conscious mind, the sharing of this concern with another is that which begins the healing process, in that the energies expressing themselves as difficulty have an easier movement through the being when they are freely discussed and shared with another. Thus, the entity with the difficulty is assured at the most basic of levels that it is acceptable to another and that another cares for it and is willing to share with it on the difficulty.
One who seeks to become that called the healer and which on a regular basis places itself in this relationship to another suffering the difficulty, the one serving as healer must, after a portion of experience in this field of service, develop the ability to give of itself to another in a fashion which does not retain the residue, shall we say, of the difficulties being healed. This manner or technique or shielding the self is one which must be constructed by the self in a manner which is congruent with the healer’s concept of the healing, the disease, and the part each plays within the greater picture of the incarnation in particular and the creation in general. Thus, the protection, shall we say, must be that which reflects the healer’s philosophy of life, as you may call it.
Carla asked if we give sympathy to another person it seems like it helps them by giving them more enthusiasm and a positive attitude, and she wanted to know if this was true. Q’uo responded by saying that it is very helpful in beginning the healing process of an entity’s disease or worries by listening to them and giving them support as they go through their difficult experiences. On June 27, 1993, Q’uo gave an inspiring description of how sharing sympathy with another person is of great aid to them:
It is well also to send light to these situations. This is work well done, and we do not wish to discourage this practice in order to encourage the embracing of the unrelieved and unchanged and unhealed situation. Rather we wish to enable a seeker to use the resource of its own structure. That is, there lies within each the deep mind structure as part of the archetypical mind, wherein each may suffer as each. Each may experience anything whatever as each. There is that deep within the mind in which all entities within one influence are together, and the change from individual-to-universal-to-individual is but a blink or thought away. To move in sympathy into another’s illusion fully is to take this black and bitter harvest, and in the way possible only to one which does this consciously and deliberately, to embrace the full travel and extent of suffering and so relieve by that imagining the bite of pain for all.
Then Carla asked how natural healers who make connections with people’s minds, bodies, and souls keep from forming life long relationships with everyone that they meet? How do they avoid the responsibility for what they know about people? Q’uo replied by saying that it is the responsibility of the healer to develop a means by which the residue of the disease or difficulty does not remain with it after the healing has been accomplished. It must reflect the healer’s philosophy of life. On February 6, 1994, Q’uo described the situation of the healer as working upon itself and with the realization that it does not actually heal, so there would be no responsibility for the healing that would link the healer to the one to be healed:
Therefore, to the healer, we would always suggest the surrendering of that personal agenda which is natural for any healer upon viewing an illness or the physical evidence of an illness. It is so easy to feel that one shall do this and that and it shall operate in a healing modality. Actually, it is well to remain humble as a healer for the healer works upon its own self and in no case does the healer heal.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: Yes. It seems to me, then, that you’re describing two kinds of healing where you could call one of them active, where the healer is sympathetic and sharing and takes on pain in order to ease pain, and impersonal or passive healing, where the healer is nothing more than a catalyst, and actually takes no part whatsoever in the healing. I gather the latter perception from conversations that Don Elkins had with Ra, and the former kind of definition of healing from what we’ve been talking about here. They seem to be two different types of healing altogether. Would you care to comment?
I am Q’uo, and this description is one which we would suggest describes one process, that of learning to become the healer.
Carla: I see. So the thing to learn is how to get out of the way and not take on pain in order to ease pain, but simply be there. Take in nothing, give out nothing, but be there and act as catalyst. That must be a powerful lesson to learn.
I am Q’uo, and, indeed, my sister, it is one that does partake of that quality known as power and the discipline which is necessary to seek it. Each entity within your illusion may serve as the simplest form of healer by sharing another’s difficulties. As one refines the desire and the practice, becoming a healer, one is able to move further along the line of learning this art, so that it is indeed without will and a passive conduit through which the energies of the Creator may move in the most appropriate fashion for the one to be healed.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: Yes. And is that why the first person a healer must heal in the traditional mystical literature is the self, because until one can have the self understood and grasped, one can’t get it out of the way?
I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister. May we speak further?
Carla: No, thank you very much, it was very interesting.
C: The situation where you’re not consciously seeking to heal someone, but your subconscious continues, what best can you do as far as not going to the point where you’re damaging yourself, taking along others?
I am Q’uo, and it is difficult, my brother, to speak in a specific fashion with the information that is given. However, there is one particular means by which such an entity may at once seek to aid another and yet refrain from absorbing the difficulties of the other. And the means by which this may be accomplished is composed of the heartfelt desire being generated for the well-being of the other, and this desire being given to the other without condition, while at the same time, shall we say, the condition of the other within the mind of the one seeking to heal being seen as whole and perfect and being given over to the greater forces of the higher self for the appropriate action, shall we say. Thus, to give without condition and to see the one which is in need, it would seem, of the healing, as receiving that which is needed and appropriate from those forces of light which surround and inform each entity within each portion of the incarnation.
C asked how he could keep from damaging himself if his subconscious mind continued to try to heal another while he consciously was not attempting to do so. Q’uo suggested that C set his intentions to give whatever was needed to the one to be healed in an unconditional way, to see this entity as whole and perfect and allow its higher self and the forces of light to accomplish the healing. On December 26, 1982, Latwii described how one may share unconditional love:
The entity expressing the unconditional love has no action within that is held, but allows the free expression of the compassion similar to that which one might feel for the newborn infant in its innocent actions. Such an infant is easily seen as worthy of unconditional love. When one can feel such, shall we call it, emotion, for any entity at any time for any reason, then that balance of unconditional love has been achieved.
May we speak further, my brother?
C: I’m only just speaking from personal experience that I’m in a form of almost gun-shy of trying to help heal, but it seems like it still occurs though. It seems that without seeking to do it, others who have sought me out to do it, and I’m not at the time thinking that, yes, I’ll take this on, and want to share, but it occurs anyway, [inaudible] thoughts where it almost feels like it’s damaging to me, just going through the mood changes and physical depression that goes along with it. I know that I want to help, but it seems like at the same I’m doing it involuntarily also.
I am Q’uo, and in this instance, my brother, we may suggest the reflective meditation in which one seeks the deepest level of one’s desires that one can find in order that the mind and the heart may join hands in one unified direction in order that the self does not fight against the self.
May we speak further, my brother?
C: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?
Carla: Thank you, Q’uo. It was very interesting tonight.
I am Q’uo, and we are full of gratitude for each in this group as well, for we have learned much during this evening of seeking which we rejoice in the learning and in the sharing. We remind each that our words are but opinion and we wish each to be considered as possibilities. We shall take our leave of this group at this time, rejoicing in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning I was a guest on the Q & A Law of One Europe– Telegram Group Located in Berlin. We talked for an hour and covered a lot of ground on a great variety of topics such as the value of dreams, how I met Don and Carla, why I lived in the woods of central Kentucky in the ‘70s, and how psychic attacks occur.
This afternoon I painted the last two windows outside of the office, and it is great to be done with this job. Now I just have the deck that leads into the back door of the house to repaint as I spilled some white paint in various places on it when I was painting the windows last week.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
October 1
Divine Hunger
I am of the principle of divine love and I greet you in the full consciousness of the love of Jesus the Christ.
Look you ahead to your day. Your work lies ready for you. And you are ready for the work.
Your establishment and domicile, your daily bread, your expectations for the future: these are the things at which you gaze as creator of your little world, to look and see that all things are pleasing and satisfactorily arranged.
Look you to every physical aspect of the arrangements of your life day by day. Look till you come to the end of them. Now ask yourself: have you still the divine hunger or are you satisfied? The spirit speaks to those who hunger, to those who ask and to those who face the door of non-complacent doubting and say, “My deeper self hungers and thirsts for that which all my tidy arrangements cannot give me.”
We of the principle of love bless that divine hunger which calls into manifestation those powers of creation which alone express the unity betwixt the soul and divine love.
We leave you in the peace of that love, both 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.
