I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 6, 2000:
The question today has to do with the various frustrations and angers, all the various difficulties that come around in our lives periodically and seem to be part of our catalyst. What can Q’uo tell us about what it is possible to do intellectually, logically, and consciously in learning from the catalyst, and when it is necessary to do something different, to give it up, to accept the situation, to have faith that everything is as it should be? What can Q’uo tell us about the different approaches, the intellectual, the acceptance, doing something different, giving ourselves a break? How can we know what is best for us to do at any certain time in our life experience?
(Carla channeling)
We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. It is a great blessing and a privilege for us to be called to your group this afternoon. We greatly appreciate each person which sits in this circle of seeking. We appreciate the desire that brought you to this circle and that brought us to you. It is a signal blessing to us to be able to speak through this instrument and other instruments to people such as you. For in this way we feel that we can share information and opinion without infringing upon the free will of any, for we wish our information to be taken lightly, in that we ask that you not think us to be an authority. For we are not an authority over you, but, rather, are companions along the way that we both walk. We know that the way is dusty, and we appreciate your company as much as you appreciate ours.
When this instrument was speaking to the one known as R earlier this afternoon the one known as R asked the instrument to ask a question of us within this session. That question was, do we remember the difficulties of third density? Is it possible for us to put ourselves into the experiences of third density? May we say that, yes, indeed, we do. Our third density was, in some ways, a simpler experience than the one which faces you at this time because of there being more of a consensus within the entire population concerning the choice of polarity. However, when the veil drops at the beginning of a third-density incarnation there is no possibility that any can proceed through the incarnative experience in a state of calm and peace.
So, the first thing that we would like to focus upon is the situation, for it is the situation of third density that is at once its glory and its horror. It is seen as a glory for those outside the incarnation looking at the incarnative possibilities in learning and in service for those who undergo the veil of forgetting. It can be a horror when experienced within incarnation, especially when the tempo of confusion becomes so hectic that there is no longer any island of safety for the emotional and spiritual self but, rather, all seems completely involved in a desperate confusion.
Thusly, it is well to look at the basics of the situation, to begin to see into why you as a soul would have chosen to put yourself into the way of such suffering as you now experience. May we say that the stories that we spin are our suppositions and not fact, but we suppose that the Creator said to Itself, “I desire to know Myself.” We suppose that it is this desire that birthed creation. This Creator, wishing to know Itself, spun out of Itself an infinite creation with an infinite number of unique souls, each of which contained the Creator within it. This creation was cast into the creation of Light. Thusly, you, as a creation of Love, were given a creation built of Light in order that you might experience the illusion of time and space, and cause and effect, so that in this illusory dream each unique portion of the one infinite Creator could become an experiencer, a reasoner, a source of information for the infinite Creator about Itself.
Many things have been projected by entities within your third density and in many other densities concerning the nature of the one infinite Creator. And many are the commands of various religions concerning behavior towards the one infinite Creator. But, in truth, it was not that the Creator wished to be loved but, rather, that It wished to know Itself. Curiosity, then, the desire to know more, is built into the one infinite Creator’s nature. It is only reasonable, therefore, that the infinite Creator would choose, at some point, to give Its souls free will.
Theway that the densities of Light were set up was that there was an octave of steadily increasing density of Light and that there would be creatures native to each density that would be able to experience, express and communicate the nature of their experience to the one infinite Creator. These densities begin, in our system of describing them, with the first density, which is elemental, the density of rock, of earth, wind, fire, and water, of sky and sea. Those things which seem quite inanimate, yet they are fully vibrating with the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.
The second density is that density of reaching towards the Light. And the natives of that density are your plant and animal kingdoms. They are not aware of self, yet they are aware of the Light, and they move towards it.
The third density is the one of which you are now a part. It has often been called the density of choice. The reason for this descriptive name is that this is the density wherein consciousness itself, that is, the soul that you are, takes a second-density physical vehicle and attaches itself within that fleshly temple to experience the limitations of time and space, to experience the first awareness of self by self. In this third density, and only in third density, does the veil of forgetting drop as each soul incarnates into a physical vehicle. This density is full of confusion and is designed that way. And we will come back to this point.
The group question for this session was: “What can Q’uo tell us about what it is possible to do intellectually, logically, and consciously in learning from the catalyst, and when it is necessary to do something different, to give it up, to accept the situation, to have faith that everything is as it should be?” Q’uo began their response by answering R’s question if Q’uo remembered their third density experience by saying that they did remember it as being more harmonious than our experience because there was more of a consensus as to how to seek the positive path, but after the veil of forgetting dropped there was no chance of continuing to feel calm and at peace. Q’uo went on to say that before going through the veil the third density looks like a great way to progress spiritually, but within the veil of third density it was a difficult and confusing experience. Then Q’uo said that it was their supposition that the way that all this came into being was that the Creator created an infinite universe with an infinite number of entities out of Its Love and Light so that each one made unique choices to help the Creator to know Itself within the illusion of time and space. Q’uo continued by saying that because it was the Creator’s desire to know Itself, It granted free will to each entity, and the way that this worked was that the densities of Light were created with creatures in each density able to communicate their free will choices to the Creator beginning with the first density of earth, wind, fire, and water. Then Q’uo said that in the second density the plants and animals began to turn towards the light seeking awareness of the self, and then in the third density the soul blends itself with a second density body activating self-awareness and seeks to make the choice of polarity within the veil of forgetting that produces confusion and difficulty. On October 20, 2018, Q’uo described how the first three densities of Light function:
Thus, your planetary sphere, your Mother Earth, has now moved through the red ray energy center, in which the qualities or entities of earth, wind, fire, and water have been able to solidify in a fashion in which life as you know it, the simple awareness of being, was able to come forth. This simple awareness of being then expressed itself as those four basic elements so that the elements of wind and fire could blow and burn incandescently, in a manner which would teach earth and water to be formed into rivers, and lakes, and land, and islands, and continents, and so forth.
This simple awareness that was able to express itself began to move forward, shall we say, to be drawn forward or upward by the upward spiraling lines of light that are the intelligent energy of creation that has made all that there is, and which calls forth each portion of all that there is, into higher and higher expressions of consciousness so that within the second density—or the orange ray energy center, that which you know as movement and growth—was possible, so that the lower forms of plants and animals began to have a beingness within the orange ray energy center.
As they were continually drawn forward as well, or upward by the upward spiraling line of light, they began to expand the simple awareness of the first density, so that there became what you may call the very beginnings of self-consciousness, of movement and growth, seeking the light.
Then there was a further transformation, or quantum leap, into the third density, that of the yellow ray, in which you now live, and move, and have your being, and have self-consciousness expressed to its greatest degree, calling forth the quality of the spirit so that that spirit, which was latent within second density, is now activated within your third-density illusion, so that you are a completed being, having the mind, the body, and the spirit, with which to process the catalyst of this illusion with the purpose of opening the green ray energy center, and moving into that harvest into the fourth density of love and understanding, which is the process which your Mother Earth and its population is now engaged in.
The remaining densities are the fourth density, which many have called the density of understanding but which we would call the density of love; fifth density, in which souls take on themselves lessons of wisdom; sixth density, which is the density of unity, where love and wisdom find the way to meld and become one. This density is the first density wherein the positive and the negative paths are reconciled and all paradoxes solved. The seventh density has been called the density of foreverness, for in this final density before the octave souls spend their last days looking backwards and finally, full of spiritual gravity, are pulled back into the heart of the one infinite Creator to become quiescent and held completely in potential, only to be flung out again at the beginning of the next creation to experience more, to express more, and to inform the one infinite Creator of Its own nature.
In third density you are at the beginning of a three density walk, either on the positive path or the negative path, the path of service to others or the path of service to self. The choice of which path to follow is an extremely central part of what you as a soul hoped that you would successfully grapple with in this incarnation. Looking at this incarnative experience from before or after it the issues are clearly seen. Every human condition contains a lesson in love that can be taken either positively or negatively. Indeed, it is sometimes difficult but always possible to look at the present moment and find the love that is within that moment. This is often very subtle work and, meanwhile, very unsubtle confusion tends to reign.
Let us look at this confusion, for within each heart within this circle we see a puzzlement, a sincere wishing that there would not be so much confusion, and yet it is the specific purpose of third density to create massive and persistent confusion. You see, each of you came into incarnation with a clear set of lessons to learn and service to offer. You laid down relationships and situations that would produce the most catalyst and would offer you the most efficient possible opportunities to increase your polarity and to share your gifts. You also provided yourself with what this instrument would call a personality shell. And within that personality shell you offered to yourself the amount of intelligence that you thought would be helpful in order for you to do those things which you came to do. Consequently, the human situation is a soul who does not remember its lessons, does not know what service it came to offer, and is placed in what will continue to be, until the incarnation is through, a constant cyclical sea of confusion.
The personality shell, you see, has one aspect that can be very difficult to control. That aspect is the mind. The emotions of self, whether instinctual and second-density in origin, or whether of third-density origin, have a truth to them that does not depend upon the veil of forgetting. The feelings that each seeker has are trustable to a far greater extent than that which the mind puts out in the way of thoughts. Let us explain.
The intellectual mind is a portion of the personality shell and is designed to solve problems. The mind is an either/or instrument. It is designed to look at a situation and make a choice. On the surface of life, on the matter of whether to go straight or turn right, whether to keep an appointment or to change it, this choice-making equipment works very well. When the intellectual mind is dealing with the physical creation and the creations of humankind, the society, and relationships, and so forth, this mind works well. However, this density is the density of the soul’s awakening to an awareness of itself. So there comes that moment within the incarnational experience when the seeker realizes that something has changed, that there is a comfortable nest in which she seems to be sleeping so well, and, suddenly, she woke up. And she got up and she stretched and looked longingly at that nest and could no longer see it. This is the experience of awakening to the metaphysical nature of the self. It is a dislocating experience because it means that you are now the inhabitant of a completely different creation than the creation that you enjoyed up until the moment of awakening.
Now Q’uo spoke of the fourth density as that of love; the fifth density that of wisdom; the sixth density that of the balance of love and wisdom where the negative path must become positive and resolve all paradoxes; and the seventh density was that of foreverness where the looking back is complete. Then the joining with the heart of the Creator occurs at the end of the octave of the creation, and then the process of experience once again begins in order to help the Creator to know Itself. Q’uo went on to say that within the third density we are preparing ourselves for a journey of the next three densities by choosing to see the love in every moment either in the positive or the negative sense, and this can be a very confusing process. They continued by saying that the confusion of the third density is that which in the kind of experience that gives us the chance to play out the lessons that we have planned and the services we wish to offer before our incarnations that include relationships with others that would provide us with the catalyst. Q’uo said that we also have utilized a personality shell to help us do what we have come here to do, yet we are a soul that does not remember what our service is or what our lessons are within the third density illusion. Then Q’uo said that whether our emotions are of second density origin or third density origin, they have a kind of truth to them that is not dependent upon the veil of forgetting, but our mind is designed to solve problems by making choices within the physical creation, the society, and relationships. But then Q’uo said that the third density is the environment where the soul awakens to its spiritual nature, and this can be a very earth-shaking experience because the seeker is now living in a totally different world. On May 25, 1997, Q’uo spoke of how the soul awakens to its purpose:
We are aware that none of you wishes to come into incarnation and then dwell in the shadows of that incarnation. Rather, each has an urgent and profound feeling or sense of purpose. Each of you wishes to accomplish that true vocation that each feels within has been made or prepared for each. And we feel that this is a true and authentic sense or feeling, the feeling of having a purpose that is spiritual in nature.
When the soul awakens to its spiritual identity concomitant with the gladness of knowing who one is comes the honor and responsibility involved in the feeling that there is work to do, and for each entity that work has been prepared in the sense that each seeker has gifts and talents for which there is a use. We encourage each to flow with those talents, to support the self in using those gifts that have been brought into incarnation, that have been carefully chosen by each for the outer service, for the actions and accomplishment that each may choose to offer.
The creation into which the seeker awakes is the metaphysical universe. In the physical universe the goals tend to be achievements, things that can be done. In the metaphysical universe the issues have to do with essence and being. In this universe it is thoughts that are the deeds. It is intention and desire that are the actions. Consequently, when the intellectual mind tends to analyze a situation that is metaphysical in nature it can only be effectual with the careful overseeing of the deeper self, that is, the more true nature of you. In other words, as a metaphysical entity, a citizen of eternity and infinity, you then turn and look back at the human situation, not with an idea to solve the situation, but with the idea to hone your intentions, your desires, and your vibration. Priorities for a metaphysical seeker are completely switched from the priorities of the physical person. And this is very confusing. Naturally, the soul tends to move back and forth between the two worlds and attempts to harmonize physical agendas and metaphysical agendas—and may we say that both physical and metaphysical agendas are valuable and are valuable equally. For you did not come into this density of choice to be aloof, wise, and in control. You came into this experience so that you might surprise yourself and the infinite Creator. You came to experience new things and give yourself new catalyst to chew over and make into deep experience.
Let us look at a “for instance.” This instrument was speaking about the irritation and aggravation that she felt at discovering that she was going to have a very sore hand at the same moment that she needed her hands to do a service that she truly wished to do. As a physical entity, this can only be bad news. As a metaphysical entity, there was almost immediately seen to be good news involved in the situation, for it asked both of the instrument and the instrument’s mate that they put aside those things that they had previously planned to do and those methods of doing them that they had previously contemplated. And they were given the opportunity to work together or to find catalyst with each other of a negative nature to the point where they decided that they could not work together. In this instance, each of these seekers chose a high road, and, consequently, the experience of increased limitation has almost seemed to be rather an experience of increased freedom, the freedom to grow closer, to accomplish things as one being, to find the heart of cooperation and sympathy.
May we say that in many, many cases the lessons of love do not involve the great boon of companionship. In many cases the catalyst comes to one who must deal with it by oneself, or seemingly by oneself. And there is a tremendous loneliness and isolation that is felt by those who are adrift in the sea of confusion for one reason or another. Yet, we say to you that when you are at your lowest point, when hope seems to be the dimmest, then is the creative moment, the moment of unlimited possibility. For it is into the darkness that Light must shine. Just as the trees in the winter stretch the roots down into the darkness and reach the naked limbs of winter to the sky, each of you has times of rooting darkness, times when it seems truly the Dark Night of the Soul.
And it is in just situations that the intellectual mind is finally brought to a standstill, is finally defeated, and knows that it cannot solve spiritual problems. And when that occurs the way of working moves from the head to the heart. Do not feel that you are less than an excellent seeker if you spend much time within your intellectual mind. You gave yourself a powerful intellectual mind in order to help with the confusion. But note the dark time when finally, you listen to your heart and write it down as a red letter day, for when you come into your heart, and when you let your heart do your thinking, the intuitions that can arise can truly seem to simplify and harmonize the experience of being in the dark and being confused.
It is not that the heart is a place of explanation, for it is not. What is in the heart is your deeper self. What is in the heart ultimately is the one infinite Creator, and this is a Creator who has learned one thing for sure so far in Its infinite creations, and that is that It loves each and every creation that It has made with a Love that is so deep and so pure that the tiniest iota of skin, or hair, or thought, or idea that occurs is important to the one infinite Creator. You cannot bore the one infinite Creator. It is endlessly fascinated by and interested in each of Its souls.
Thusly, when all human habitation fails to comfort or to simplify there is that tabernacle within the heart to which you may go in meditation, in contemplation, in prayer. In a moment of remembrance you may suddenly be in the Light, bursting with joy and peace, and aware that things will rise; things will occur; and things will pass away. And that the one infinite Creator and you will be just fine in weal or woe, in life or death, moving through all of the interesting confusions and conundrums of everyday life. When you live in the heart you shall still be confused, but you shall not begrudge that confusion so deeply. Nor shall you find yourself in the state of irritation for as long a time, for the heart, in its intuitive way, has a kindness, a gentleness when the mind would cut with its sharp edges.
Then Q’uo said that the physical universe is one in which the goals are actions which can be achieved, but in the metaphysical universe it is thoughts that are the deeds, and: “it is intention and desire that are the actions as a metaphysical entity, a citizen of eternity and infinity, you then turn and look back at the human situation, not with an idea to solve the situation, but with the idea to hone your intentions, your desires, and your vibration.” Q’uo went on to say that we live in two worlds attempting to harmonize our physical agendas and our metaphysical agendas which are of equal value because we came into this experience so that we might surprise ourself and the infinite Creator by experiencing new things and give our self new catalyst to process into deeper experience. Q’uo continued by saying that when we do not have a mate to make our processing of difficult times easier, and we feel loneliness as we are drifting in the sea of illusion, it is then that the creative moment of unlimited possibility may come to us, for it is into our darkness that Light must shine. Q’uo said that it was in times like this that the mind cannot function, and then the seeker must move from its head to its heart, and if it can let its heart do the thinking then intuitions can arise and can simplify the experience of being in the dark and being confused. Then Q’uo said that the Creator is in our hearts, and It Loves every experience that we have because it is infinitely fascinated with each of Its souls, so Q’uo recommended that we tabernacle with the Creator through meditation, contemplation, or prayer. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that at some point we may find ourselves in the Light feeling joy and peace, knowing that things will rise; things will occur; and things will pass away; and that we and the infinite Creator will be just fine in weal or woe, in life or death. On February 3, 1991, Hatonn described the nature of tabernacling with the Creator:
So, we say to you that, indeed, one must accept the utter vulnerability of unknowing, of, indeed, acting as if one were faithful, for only when one acts in this way do the processes of spiritual evolution accelerate so that one may eventually have immediate experiences of tabernacling with the Creator. It is this immediate experience of unity with deity which informs one’s faith. These moments upon the mountain tops of your experiences within the incarnational pattern are precious gold, to be treasured within the memory and to be brought to remembrance again and again, for faith does not have its place upon the mountaintop, faith has its place in the valley of the shadow of death, if we may quote again from your holy works. Thusly, one acts as if one has faith, and in so doing is faithful, for nothing can be understood or known. This is very important to realize within your illusion.
This is a great and central learning, and there is more to say concerning it, but we feel that we have made a good beginning. And we feel that it is a good point at which we shall pause and transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, for we are aware that there are still questions that you wish to bring up at this time, and this instrument is asking us to keep our speeches to a certain time limit. We understand this need and, truly, we know we have too many words. So, consequently, at this time we would transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We would thank this instrument for its service and leave it in love and in light. We are those of Q’uo.
This morning I recorded the section on The Positive Use of Resources from Chapter Six of 102. Then I went onto the front porch and opened the boxes that contain five new chairs that I bought a week ago for use in our public channeling meditations. Then I brought them into the living room and put them in their proper places for our public channeling meditation that will begin at 1 this afternoon.
This afternoon we had our public channeling meditation with twelve attendees with half of them being new friends and the other half being old friends, and as we did our round robin check in everyone shared from their open hearts some facet of their spiritual journey that brought us together as a community of seekers of truth. The channeling lasted about 42 minutes with many questions about the nature of reality and the personal experiences that were challenging, confusing, or very inspirational. Most of the group stayed after the channeling to spend more time with each other for further exploration of the connections made during the round robin and the questions for Q’uo.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
November 23
Your Vessel Of Dust
I am of the principle of the consciousness of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in divine Love.
You have seen yourself as a boat upon the river of life, being blown to and fro by forces which you cannot control. The Spirit within you asks you to enlarge your vision, deepen your understanding, and share yourself, not with any frail craft but with the illimitable ocean which is your true nature.
It is the illusion of wood and sail, the illusion of tides and winds which make one feel apart from the nourishing water which supports and upholds life. Think now of this productive image. The wood dissolves. The sails disappear. And that most frail vessel of the physical body is released. At last the seeker becomes one with the sea within which lies wholeness of life. This is water which the soul breathes.
This is wholeness which the body mistakenly denies. Know that you are one with that which feeds, nourishes and sustains your spirit. Know that you are not limited but are only a drop of the sea of consciousness which moves sometimes into a vessel of dust, that it may be fruitful, just as raindrops mold themselves about the dust within the atmosphere and thus fall down to nourish the crops that feed your world.
We leave you flowing freely and endlessly in the peace of the ever-moving water which is the consciousness of Love, 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.
