I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 26, 1997:
The question this evening has to do with a phrase from the Ra contact which said that the price of each action of a positively oriented nature was in direct proportion to the purity of the action; and we would like some information upon this price that we seem to pay with each desire we have to be of service. And the situation that it puts us within presents us with challenges, difficulties, confusions and so forth, and these seem to be part of this price. We would like to have any information that you could give us as to the price that we pay, how we pay the price and what it is that we’ve bought with this price.

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet you with the light, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in Whose name we come to serve. It is such a pleasure and a privilege to spend this time with you, to enjoy the blending of your vibrations and the beauty that lies about your domicile, and we thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts for this privilege. It is a true service to us, for it allows us to be of service as we hope to, and this is a precious thing to us. So, we thank this instrument and, indeed, all of those who comprise this circle of seeking, for as we have said before, each of you has made sacrifices in order to be sitting in this circle at this time. And as this is your requested topic of the evening, we shall share some of our thoughts, always with the understanding that each of you shall exercise your full discriminatory dominion over your own truth and your own way, for within your heart lies that awareness that is absolute of that which is yours, and when those gems of truth come to you, you shall hear them or see them and recognize them as if remembering them. If truth does not fall upon your mind in a grateful way, allow it to pass, and do not be concerned that there might be a point that you have missed, because each seeker has those triggers for transformation that are subjective and unique to that one seeker. And so, each will react in a way unlike any other. We may say the same thing any number of times, and each time there is a novelty in the approach that cannot be gotten at in any of the preceding ways of stating that simple truth which, in fact, we do come to offer; and that is that all that there is, is Love. And all that is manifest is Love, quantized and rotated and turned into Light.
Each of you is as a starry messenger that has become tangled in flesh. There is that portion of yourself that is eternal and infinite. That eternal and infinite being is steeped in unknowing—truly a mystery of mysteries. Each entity is as deep a mystery as the mystery of the Creator, for each, truly, is one face of the Creator. And in each manifested illusion, each entity is the face of the Creator, and each face shall be unique. But to all these sparks of Love sent forth upon the winds of free will there is given the knowledge of home and the desire to be moving in the direction that home lies.
In the portion of the spirit’s journey through the present octave that is third density, the crux or focus of the learning that is offered in third density is The Choice. This archetype of The Choice was referred to by the one known as (name). This archetypical image is of a young man stepping off into thin air—no suggestion of a bridge, no suggestion of another shore, but simply the walking off of a cliff in perfect faith. As each entity awakens to her spiritual identity, that which has awakened is in part that Fool, and that which lies before that entity is a step into midair. And once that step has been made, and the air has seemed to solidify about the new vantage point, a cliff will appear once more and the Fool must needs step over that one as well, and the next, and the next. And each time that this occurs, that seeker, that Fool, has recomprised the choice.
To define this choice is a deceptively simple thing, for The Choice is that either/or of morality and ethics that seems straightforward. We have called it service to self as opposed to service to others, negative as opposed to positive, following the way of attraction and control over others as opposed to following the way of radiation and the releasing to all others of that which flows through. The creation of third density gives evidence, again and again, and again as one observes the natural world about one, that this is a world of duality: of light and dark, heat and cold, and so forth. Mentally, emotionally, spiritually… repeatedly the nature of this experience of incarnation causes entities to see their dilemmas in terms of clear-cut choices. When things do not seem so clear, and the choice likewise is unclear, the person tuned to hear the ethical either/or is in a quandary, and often in the midst of change, a seeker shall have to simply wait with patience that is difficult to come by, simply wait until all the ripples have quieted, and the horizon can once again be seen. And in those times, there is no choice except the choice to trust. To trust in what—this is a subjective thing. But to trust, certainly this is the recommended action. For indeed, to deal with concern by moving the mind in ceaseless circles is a wearying thing. Trusting, upon the other hand, is a release that can be seen to be helpful.
The question this evening has to do with a phrase from the Ra contact which said that the price of each action of a positively oriented nature was in direct proportion to the purity of the action; and we would like some information upon this price that we seem to pay with each desire we have to be of service. And the situation that it puts us within presents us with challenges, difficulties, confusions, and so forth, and these seem to be part of this price. We would like to have any information that you could give us as to the price that we pay, how we pay the price and what it is that we’ve bought with this price. Q’uo began by saying that each of us is an unique, infinite, and eternal part of the mystery of the one infinite Creator, and we are here to exercise our free will to find our way home. Q’uo continued by saying that in the third density we begin that journey home by awakening to our spiritual identity as that of the Fool and exercising the quality of faith by walking off a cliff into the midair, and with each step the cliff solidifies under our feet, and we have made the choice again. Then Q’uo gave a basic definition of The Choice was that of either service to others or service to self, but then they said that not all choices are so obvious when we are in the midst of change which would require that we be patient and trust that all will be well. On May 18, 1997, Q’uo described how The Choice may be made by the Fool using faith to walk off a cliff into mid-air:
And so, what is The Choice, precisely? Although we cannot speak precisely; although The Choice is always veiled in mystery; we would point in the direction of the will which is as the verb in a sentence in which the nouns are made of faith, hope, love, and charity. What is the right use of will? The one known as Jesus spoke very clearly when He said, “Not my will but Thine.” For you see, The Choice truly is to surrender. The Choice of the Fool is to leap into mid-air, knowing absolutely nothing about what lies at the bottom of the chasm of unknowing. One chooses to have complete faith and thus to remain calm in the midst of this sea of confusion which is the Earth world. This is not an obviously good choice. The Choice to believe blindly seems quite foolish, and may we say that it is foolish. Upon the surface of events such a choice as pure faith shall only rarely be obviously validated by experience and yet the energy that is released when a seeker chooses to live by faith is tremendous.
You have asked about the price of choices made by those who wish to serve others, and have said that the one known as Ra suggested that the more purity with which the choice is made, the steeper the price will be. If you can enter into the deeper portions of your own mind, perhaps you may see the heart as a dark room, full of shadows and yet containing the Most High, the infinite One. In that darkness nothing can be discerned, and yet, this is where the learning comes. And that which is taught one in those deep, private moments has a tendency to spring forth once the seeker has gone out into the daylight world again and joins that dance of manifestation that you experience as you live within incarnation. Within that deep and dark heart, within that holy of holies, that portion of you which is beyond space and time dwells, perfect, complete, ineffably whole. It is as the buried treasure.
If one attempts to take the self that has not realized the nature of its heart, the holiness of its center, and asks it to make a choice, the entity may make a positive choice, but this entity is making a choice that has no depth of root. A little wind can blow it over. A newer idea can take its place. And so, the entity that has not gone down deep, diving into the heart, may skate happily across the pond of life, skittering along the meniscus, happy as a dragonfly in the summer sun, and like the ephemerid, it shall pass, and it shall not pay a price, for it has not bought very much. To the one who has begun to discover the utter and intense purity at the heart of self, a choice that is made is made not simply upon the surface, but in profound depth, and to the extent that the purity of the heart has been penetrated in the making of a choice, this action in the metaphysical world is as that which turns on the bright light.
When entities consciously choose the service-to-others option in a difficult situation, because of pure awareness of the purity of self within the heart, this takes the clay of flesh and shoves it aside until the light begins to shine through. The more deeply the entity knows his own heart, the more pure that choice can be made, and in the world of time/space, this movement of Light is an energy flow that automatically triggers the attention of what this instrument has often called the loyal opposition, for there are those forces within the dualism of third, fourth, and fifth densities that appeal to entities who wish to take the path of service to self. And they hunger for the Light that they may use that Light for their own purposes. Attracted by this Light, entities move, looking interestedly to see what they might see. Where is this Light coming from? What is this entity’s weak points? How can we put this Light out?
There is a very wide range within which entities can experience imbalance. Indeed, we encourage seekers not so much to work upon the energy centers one at a time as to become the entity that knows its instrument, and in a state of balance allows the energy to flow freely through that instrument, making those intonations and notes that naturally flow from the rhythmic intersection of the self and the moment. To an entity of negative polarity, such activity is irresistible, and once attention is drawn, the natural course shall be that each weak point or imbalance within that energy web of self shall be offered. And this is, in a very real sense, a service, for at each point of testing the seeker being tested has the opportunity to see the test, to see through the test, and to see that attack and defense is not necessary, but rather, that these times are the times to trust and have faith in the self and in the perceived Light.
Indeed, the greater the purity of desire, the more numerous and the more telling shall be the challenges to that positive choice in a state of balance. What the natural resistance of negative thought in essence wishes to do is move entities who are radiating Light off balance so that they become less than transparent, so that they become fearful and defensive and ruled by the impurity of considerations that are based upon fear. And yet, we say to you, once you are able to touch the purity within that deep, dark heart, once that Light within has been perceived for but a split second, never again can that seeker truly say that she does not have faith, for she has touched the heart of the Creator, and this is a knowledge that none can remove from the seeker who once claims it.
We encourage each of you to seek within the self for that heart, to look for and to bless the purity within that has values and ideals that are completely impractical and unearthly. We encourage each to dream the highest dreams, love the deepest beauty, and know the deepest truth, and embrace, as this instrument said earlier, the deepest and most authentic passion. And if that purity calls forth the testing and the trial, we hope that each shall be able to know that the fire that burns does not burn away the heart of self but only the dross of flesh. Fear not that fire, and if that which is called the ego by your peoples loses a bit of a chip here and there, is that any great loss? For that which replaces that small self, though far more impersonal, is that which marries peace and ecstasy, quietude, and joy.
Now Q’uo said that: “Ra suggested that the more purity with which the choice is made, the steeper the price will be.” Q’uo gave an example of this when they said that if we can enter into the deeper part of our mind and move into the dark room of our heart nothing can be seen, but this is where learning occurs, and then we find the buried treasure of our being which springs forth from us when we return to the manifested world of our incarnations. Q’uo went on to say that if one has not realized the nature of its heart and asks it to make a positive choice, it will blow away like dust in the wind because it has no roots within the being whereas if one has discovered the intense purity of the nature of its heart, its choices will turn on a bright spiritual light within it. Q’uo continued by saying that when entities use the purity of their awareness of the self to choose the service-to-others path in difficult situations–and the more purely the entity knows the heart of its being–the stronger the Light shines through it in the metaphysical realms and attracts the attention of negatively oriented beings who wish to use the Light for their own purposes if they can find a weakness in the positive entity, and if not, then they try to put the Light out. Then Q’uo said that the positive entity should attempt to be aware of the balance within its energy centers because any imbalance can be used by negative entities to enhance the imbalance, so Q’uo suggested that this is a good way for the seeker to see the centers that are being tested, and then have faith in the self and in the strength of the Light within it. Q’uo continued by saying that the negative entity wishes to cause the positive entity to become fearful and react in a defensive way, but if the positive entity can contact the purity within its deep heart and experience the Light, then the seeker knows that it has faith, for it has touched the heart of the Creator, and this can never be taken away from it. Then Q’uo suggested that each person seek its heart of self, to bless its purity, and live by ideals that are considered impractical in the consensus reality and to: “dream the highest dreams, love the deepest beauty, and know the deepest truth, and embrace, as this instrument said earlier, the deepest and most authentic passion.” Q’uo completed their reply by saying that if the seeker is tested that it should not worry that the heart of self will be damaged, for only the small self will be burned away, and that which remains will be felt as peace, ecstasy, and joy. On April 7, 1996, Q’uo described the nature of the heart of our self:
I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to each for the offering of those questions which have been given to us in love and in true desire to know the truth, and we again thank each for the being which each brings into this circle of working, for it is your being which is of inestimable value, though most are unaware of the value or the being, for it is that which is at one’s center of heart, and this is the journey my friends, to move to the center of the heart, which would seem to be a quick and easy journey. For do you not carry it with you? Oh, but, my friends, this is the infinite journey, for are you not all things and are you not the one Creator? So, when you seek the heart of Love, you seek the heart of self, and you contain and express the heart of self in ways which even you do not begin to understand. Have faith, my brothers and sisters, for this is a journey that you each are well set upon. There shall be difficulties. There shall be challenges. How else shall you learn that which you do not know? But if you have faith and continue with a strong will, you shall find the heart of yourself and the heart of the one Creator in the same place.
May you each go forth rejoicing. This instrument kindly informs us that we are asked to shut up now, which we shall do, sparing each the traditional question and answer session in the interest of this instrument’s failing energy. We thank this instrument and this circle for bringing us to you this evening, and you to us as well. And we leave you in all that there is: the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai.
This morning I went outside and put new sugar syrup in my three hummingbird feeders, and then I went across the street and did the same with my neighbor’s two hummingbird feeders.
This afternoon I helped Gary get his cat, Squash, and all of his belongings into his car now that he, Austin, and Trish are back from the Law of One Gatherings in Prague and Berlin. Then I vacuumed the room that Squash was in so the bedroom would be ready for any public channeling meditation guests that would like to stay overnight before driving home.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
October 8
What Is Truth?
I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
What is truth? Open your eyes, your mind, and your heart and gaze at truth.
See the air which you breathe, the life-giving air of the body and, yet, also the energetic expression of Love, food born in every particle of your air for that soul which so craves the breath of Spirit.
Gaze upon that which immediately meets the eye. Dwelling within each atom, each tiny portion of that which you see is truth, the truth of energetic fields which contain in infinite number expressions of the Father.
It is sometimes difficult to see in a worn-out chair or a disreputable-looking human the truth expressed perfectly through each portion of consciousness. Fix your mind first on truth and then on appearances and allow the higher realization to interpret for you the surface pictures of an unkind world. We say unkind and so it looks, yet know that all will be well in the harmonious outworking of each appearance, so the truth is continually being uncovered by each growing spirit.
We leave you in the peace which is above process and which informs each process, 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.
