I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 12, 1997:
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in love and in light through this instrument.
The taking of the self and the experiences of the self lightly is the work of a lifetime, and each entity who engages in such work will find that there is much of effort and much of that which you might call a lack of effort, that is required to take oneself lightly. There are those times in which one finds it easy to be down upon the self, shall we say, to berate the self and to list in detail those difficulties one has faced and the shortcomings one has felt in dealing with them. And yet in this illusion of limits each entity finds that there is a limit beyond which he or she seems unable to go. And when there is this limit then it is often easy to expend the energy one would wish to expend exceeding limits in berating the self for being unable to do so.
This is the kind of situation in which the forbearance to refrain from berating the self is laudable yet difficult to achieve. The ability to hold back self-criticism, the ability to see the self as whole and perfect in a situation in which the self seems to have been revealed as quite disjointed, imperfect, unable, and wholly lacking in the effort necessary to achieve success by one’s own terms. There are those times where it would be well for the acceptance of the entity if the entity would speak for the self, engage in an effort to offer the self as that source of inspiration and motivation which not only the self but perhaps another would benefit by experiencing, to put the self forward, to engage another entity in simple sharing of being, the give and take of the ordinary daily routine. And yet one holds oneself back because one does not wish to make such an effort. It seems perhaps to be either doomed to failure, to be too much of an effort to make, or there is something easier that one can do instead. It is a form of self-acceptance to put one’s self forward in instances such as these. And yet, as each knows, there is often a lack of the attempt to do so.
Yes, to take the self lightly and to take one’s daily round of activities lightly does seem in many cases to be just beyond the grasp. And yet the effort to do so, we suggest, is worthwhile however many times it needs repeating or reminding. To pick one’s image of oneself up from the floor, to dust it off, to try it on again, and to move forward, the effort is often too much to make and we understand this, my friends, for the illusion in which you live is indeed one which is constructed carefully by all who enter and who partake within it to offer you just these opportunities, for as many times as you have been unable to put the self forward, to take the self lightly, to feel whole, full, and perfect, as many times more shall this opportunity be offered, for though this is an illusion and has its limits, there are no limits to the opportunities each of you have offered to yourself within this incarnation to take that moment of inspiration and run with it, to take that moment whenone feels whole and full and to allow the self to express this exuberance and this unity. Yes, these are the moments which each remembers, for they are unique. And your incarnation has been engaged in order that these moments might present you with the opportunities that you have wished for, to face the challenge as is necessary in order to find a smile where once there was a frown, in order to find one small measure more of acceptance where before there has been none. These steps forward may seem small when one looks at the long run of things, and the picture that seems to get larger and larger with opportunity. Yet we assure you, my friends, that each of these opportunities, however small that they may seem, can become the turning point, the axis, shall we say, upon which a new world turns for you. For as one is able to develop the light touch, the sense of humor, the tolerance of the self, then can become a new beginning for each of you. By just such small measures can the fulcrum point be turned and the momentum of the life path shifted.
So, as always, we recommend to each seeker that perseverance can become one’s greatest ally when seeking tolerance and acceptance of the self. Continue, my friends, for one never knows when that moment will come that will offer the turning point of the incarnation, the opening of new vistas, the filling of a heart that felt empty, and the movement of a point of view to a wider perspective that sees and experiences more and more compassion, love, and acceptance from and for others, from and for the self, especially the self, my friends. Do not neglect to have compassion for yourself. May we assure you that each of you does indeed deserve it, and when you, yourself, are able to give it, then you will find a new and risen being within your midst.
Q’uo’s beginning channeling through me seems to be a continuation of the last sentence of the channeling that they did through Carla before transferring the contact to me. The last sentence of Q’uo’s channeling through Carla was: “This is a realization that enables the weary seeker to laugh and relax and take the self lightly.” And the beginning of the first sentence that they channeled through me was: “The taking of the self and the experiences of the self lightly is the work of a lifetime,” and then Q’uo said that this work would involve both a great deal of effort and also a lack of effort, and within the third density illusion of limits it was easy to criticize the self when one could not exceed these limits, but it would be a helpful effort to refrain from such criticism of being unworthy and to be able to see the truth of the self as whole and perfect. Then Q’uo said that it would help one’s self esteem to engage in conversation about self-acceptance with the self and also with an other self regarding the daily routine, but this is not usually done because it seems difficult and doomed to failure. They said that as many times as we have attempted to put the self forward, to take the self lightly, to feel whole, full, and perfect but failed to do so, just as many times will we be given that opportunity again because there are no limits to how often we can feel a moment of inspiration, and feel whole and full, so that we can allow the self to express this exuberance and this unity. Q’uo said that when we can take these moments of opportunity to develop a sense of humor and tolerance of our self, then we can experience a new beginning and a wider perspective where we can feel more love and acceptance for ourselves and for others, and we will find that we have become a new and risen being. On October 6, 2018, Q’uo talked about how we may become a new and risen being:
However, after the recognition by the self of the seeming misstep, it is necessary for the entity to realize that this misstep has not been a misstep after all, but has been a movement towards growth, and the expansion of the perception of the self that requires that the self be able to accept itself as a new and risen being, shall we say, a being with a new possibility/probability vortex as a result of being able to move forward from the original position to the new position of more harmony and acceptance of the self. This acceptance of the self is another means of describing forgiveness. It is necessary for the entity to forgive itself for making what was seen to be a misstep. This forgiveness is possible as one sees that there has been a measurable growth in the awareness of the self, due to the experience of the need to process the catalyst resulting from the seeming misstep.
At this time we would offer ourselves for any further queries which those present may have for us. Is there another query at this time?
[A cat is heard mewing in the background.]
Carla: It’s too bad that you can’t answer Abbey’s question.
I am Q’uo, and we would take this opportunity to suggest that each of you is like the small creature that calls for love and protection. This second-density creature does not know not to call and not to ask for that which it needs, for its perceptions are quite clear and simple. Each of you can become as clear and simple in the perceptions.
Is there another query at this time?
Carla: No. Thank you.
I am Q’uo, and at this time would thank each of you for offering us the inspiration of the incarnation that each of you lives, for to live within the seeming darkness of your illusion is a valiant undertaking, and we are aware of the difficulties within this illusion. Do try, with all your might, to take the self more lightly every now and then, if only as an exercise. Perhaps, as with meditation, you will find that there is a value in so doing and will wish to engage in this activity upon a daily basis. We do not mean to suggest that there is not much that can be learned and that there is not much of value in the learning. However, we do suggest that the earnest seeker needs a rest and deserves compassion from itself, and will find the learning is much easier to accomplish with the light touch, with the sense of humor that sees a sense of proportion in the life pattern of the self and in the greater pattern of events and entities about it. For all are individualized portion of the one infinite Creator. You do not deal with anyone else, ever, within the incarnation. It is only the Creator and you. Speak kindly and lovingly to each Creator that you see, including the one in the mirror.
At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
This morning I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the front, side, and back yards into place so that I could mow them with my big mower, Venus.
This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at the vet to pick up some meds for Bosco. My second stop was at Cavalier’s Alterations to pick up a pair of pants. My third stop was at AutoZone where I picked up some 50:1 2-cycle engine oil. My fourth stop was at Speedway to buy 5 gal. of regular gasoline. My last stop was at Paul’s to buy some food for myself. When I got home I cleaned the cutting deck of Venus with a hose and sprayer. Then I used my trimmer to trim a couple of place in the yard that I couldn’t go with Venus.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
September 26
May Your Soul Be Tempered
I am of the spirit of Jesus Christ and I greet you in the fullness of divine love.
The unconditional nature of love is not fully understood by those who wish each other a pleasant day, a happy day, a good day. For to one full of the spirit of love, each day is, first, that which is dipped in fire and held to the rising sun, a tempered sword of unity so that all things are one, the seemingly good, the seemingly difficult situations alike, blending into love, turning into chances for renewal and growth.
May your soul be so tempered in the grace of Jesus Christ that the spirit may speak through you this day, regardless of the circumstances of your existence, to a world hungry for the love of Christ.
In the peace of Christ we leave you, 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.
