I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 13, 1994:
Group question: The question today has to do with the attitude that might be most helpful when in our daily round of activities we find ourselves in the position of having to change our plans and having to surrender to a new set of circumstances. We wonder if there is a value to this being out of balance, to this learning by trial by fire, if there is a way that we can adjust our perception or responses and our thinking to help this process go more smoothly. Is it helpful if it does that? What can we do to help ourselves in such a situation?
(Carla channeling)
We are those of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the infinite Creator. How pleased we are that you have called us to your meeting this day. It is a privilege to be asked to share our humble opinions with this circle of seeking, and we greet and bless each who has thought this day to seek the truth, for surely there is no greater desire, no better hope than the seeking of that truth which is not transient, for years and millennia pass, yet above all space and time the truth remains perfect, whole and utter. All else, all in manifestation is illusion. But, oh, what an illusion. And into this illusion come entities across the timeless into this particular coordinate system. What unimaginably long journeys has each spark of consciousness traveled and, oh, how long the journey ahead still lies waiting.
You wished this day to ponder ways to deal skillfully with the untoward catalyst of the daily life. May we say that we also work with this catalyst, that higher densities as you call them remain nonetheless the native land of impatience and frustration, for we too seek the truth, and yet that truth recedes in front of us infinitely, so that we always are reaching and never grasping. Yet we suggest to you that this reaching has independent merit, that is, a merit independent of an outcome.
Now, as we share these thoughts may we please ask each to use discrimination as each hears these concepts, for we would not constitute a stumbling block for any. Therefore, if that which we say seems good to you then you are most welcome to these thoughts. If, on the other hand, anything which we say does not ring true then leave that thought behind, for this is not your truth. Always we urge each seeker to safeguard its own powers of discrimination when listening to any opinion, no matter how authoritative it may seem, for truth has two faces. One is hidden, the other is an illusion. You dwell now with an illusion, yet when you leave this illusion, no matter how many truths you can name, yet still the truth itself shall not be in these things, but merely the shadow which the truth invisible and eternal creates. Beyond all imagining lies that mystery, that collector of paradoxes, that is the one great original Thought, Love, or Logos.
Move as we pretend that we are living one of your days. Come with us into your third-density illusion. The morning dawns, and the seeker awakes. Shall it remember the Creator this morning? The day stretches ahead unsullied, pristine, without any flaw apparent to the eye. Those with the orderly minds immediately begin sorting through those duties and chores which are first to do upon the usual long, long list of things to do. A structure begins to take shape within the mind. Then the seeker moves into the quick paced rush of full morning and broad noon and by early afternoon the schedule has been first changed, then changed radically, and then perhaps discarded entirely.
Another seeker, one who does not have the orderly mind, awakens in the morning with the dawn. Does it remember the Creator? This entity moves into the day, its mind responsive to that chore and duty that first comes to greet the eye. This entity begins to work with that concern until a second item catches the eye, and for this careless one the day is quickly spent in moving between this and that chore or pleasure doing a little of this and a little of that.
We say to you that each of these ways is a skillful way to move through the day. The Earthly personality that you are should indeed follow its nature. If one is orderly, then make the list; if one enjoys freedom, seeing it not as chaos but as the liberty to do that which feels right, this entity has at the end of the day completed perhaps the same amount of the orderly one. Yet have they thought of the Creator today?
We now ask each to seek within the self. As you awoke, what thought you? Did you think of the Creator first or last or in the middle? You seek skills and resources for learning better to flow with the catalyst as it is presented to you, and there are certainly many ways in which the self may remind the self that it truly wishes to transform its stale, stiff, and seemingly deadening over-regularity. Yet, beyond all these skills lies a basic attitude which, once grasped and persistently returned to, shall substantially transform each experience which occurs within the consciousness of the one who remembers. You see, beyond any logical, linear plan for improving the flow of events lies a simple attitude that contains more wisdom than all learning placed together. That wisdom is a point of view which includes as its primary relationship a real, living, conversational relationship with the one infinite Creator.
The key phrase that addresses the whole array of questions concerning right use of time, energy, and talent, is that which the teacher known to you as Jesus stated: “Not my will, but thine.” You see, you and your consciousness are as the tip of a great iceberg. Your self, that profound and illimitable self that you truly are, has only a small amount of selfhood showing. That selfhood is wrapped within your personality, or your ego, if you will. It is not supposed to show, for indeed that true self is to you a goal towards which you strive in consciousness, for when your consciousness is awakened fully, then you shall see that you have held the truth safely within your deep mind all of your existence. Moreover, this silent wisdom, that spark of Love within, moves into and transforms pain, suffering, misunderstanding, and each and every negative emotion. It is as though the seeker dug within the earth of selfhood, making the garden of self broken into smaller and smaller clumps of self until the self has become broken up completely and lies ready and fallow for the seeds of new transformation.
The earth within you, your sticks and stones of expectation, must be broken up so that good seed may be planted in the soil of your lives. This plowing of the self in order to plant new awareness is painful. It feels as though the self were being torn down like an old house, and that old self is being torn down. Yet we have a promise, and that is that that which is being torn down shall seem to you in the future not a self. When service to others is attempted, you serve not only that personality but primarily you serve the Creator self within that is the truth of that entity. Therefore, pour yourselves out in service to others, worrying not whether you have succeeded, but only working toward more purity of desire to serve.
Above all let not your heart be troubled. This is under your conscious control, if you choose to claim the mastery over the self. Work when you can towards that point of balance within which you are able to see clearly, not removing yourselves from the thick of things, but rather bringing into the thick of things that sacred aspect, that relationship with the Creator within. An attitude is only one word, yet this attitude is the key to the spiritual devotional life, for all things are sacred to the one who has the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the heart to understand.
The question today has to do with the attitude that might be most helpful when, in our daily round of activities, we find ourselves in the position of having to change our plans and having to surrender to a new set of circumstances. Q’uo began by saying that they too deal with such changing catalyst as the truth for all of us recedes infinitely into the future of the mystery of the one great original Thought of Love. Then Q’uo said that one seeker who has an orderly mind may begin its day of chores with a list of what needs to be done, but discovers other chores that it wishes to do instead at some point in the day. Q’uo gave another example of a seeker who takes one chore at a time and adds another and another in a flexible way. Q’uo said that the important consideration for each of these seekers is: Did they think of the Creator while they were doing their chores? They went on to say that the desire to change the daily round of activities can be done by flowing with the catalyst in a variety of ways but engaging in a conversational relationship with the Creator that is our true self, which is hidden within the heart of our being, was of the most aid in creating this transformation of pain and suffering into love. Q’uo completed their reply by saying: “Work when you can towards that point of balance within which you are able to see clearly, not removing yourselves from the thick of things, but rather bringing into the thick of things that sacred aspect, that relationship with the Creator within. An attitude is only one word, yet this attitude is the key to the spiritual devotional life, for all things are sacred to the one who has the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the heart to understand.” On February 15, 1998, Q’uo described the value of the heart to understand:
Each person, each seeker, must first realize her own way of perceiving, her own belief system, her own need in terms of guidance. Some need a named person; some need a level of vibration. But behind all of the mental and conscious ways of gaining access to this guidance there lies the identity of self with self. All guidance is from your self in a less distorted configuration of vibration to the self within incarnation, that incarnation in third density being deliberately and carefully cast into confusion and disarray.
It may seem that there are emergencies where guidance must be had, but, indeed, the greatest friend to one who seeks guidance is Sister Patience, for there is the abiding, the waiting for the rhythm of things to come into the configuration which is harmonious and right. There is that moment when the one who has the heart to understand can almost feel the situation clicking into rhythm. And when that moment of the feeling of rightness comes, there is no doubt. There is only the awareness of and the great gratitude for guidance.
We would continue this channeling through the one known as Jim. We would leave this instrument in love and in light. We are those of Q’uo.
This morning I used a needle and thread to repair the patch on the pillow in the living room that I keep on my lap when I eat my meals in my chair and when I meditate there. Then I went outside and transplanted the five petunias, that I bought at Thieneman’s Nursery yesterday, into the flowerpot on one corner of the fishpond where the old ones had died out. When I finished the transplanting, I noticed that a small Juniper tree was shading the petunias and the Nandina bushes in that area, so I used my hedge clippers to trim back the Juniper tree.
This afternoon I made an errand run to the vet to pick up some meds for Bosco, and then I stopped in Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy some paper plates and some Pepsi Zero. When I got home, I pumped out one quarter of the water in the fishpond and watered the gardens around the fishpond with the water from the pond. While the fishpond was filling up with fresh water, I fertilized the water lilies in the pond and dead-headed the zinnias on the top of the Wuthering Heights Mound in the front yard.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
July 22
Stop At This Very Moment
I am the consciousness of Jesus the Christ living in the world today and I greet you in perfect Love.
“Christ consciousness” is a term used by many, but how many feel that Christ consciousness within? How many seek the Christ consciousness within? How many ask for the Holy Spirit, which is that consciousness in the world today?
Stop at this very moment.
Stop and feel the beating of your heart, the pulsing of the blood in your veins, and the silence that has suddenly come upon your soul.
And then feel the consciousness within that silence. This is the Spirit of Love, the Consciousness of Christ. It is strong. It is your heart. It is your pulse. It is your being. You have but to claim it. You have but to ask for it. The Spirit of Christ is your birthright.
We are here. Seek us that you may see, this day, with eyes of love; with hands that serve; with hearts that are at peace.
We leave you in this peace, both now and evermore. 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.
