I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 10, 2009:

Question from G: Q’uo, Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a similar vein, the central theme of the Baghavad Gita consists of a metaphorical battle between the lower, self-serving, sense-enslaved forces of past habits and conditioning versus the higher forces of discrimination, freedom, love, and unity. As the so-called higher forces are called into action in this metaphorical battle—that is, as the self begins to awaken and desires to seek the truth—the so-called lower self is stirred, and agitated, and called to battle. The more that attempts are made to evolve into a higher and more humble understanding, the harder the lower self works to defeat those efforts. Q’uo, on the level of pure, undifferentiated, unmanifest unity, there are no dynamic forces at play. But to whatever extent that the seeker is working within the illusions of duality and opposing forces, is there a counter-pull to attempts at evolution? In other words, as attempts are made to know and become the light, is there a corresponding intensification of the darkness within?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we come to you this day. It is our privilege and our pleasure to be called to your circle of seeking, and we gladly join in this sacred session of working to speak with you concerning the light and the dark and the evolution of humankind. As always, before we begin we would enjoin you to use all discrimination as you listen to what we have to say, harvesting for your later thought those thoughts of ours which resonate with you and leaving the rest behind. If you use your powers of discrimination and trust in them, you shall not be led astray by slick words and by shallow thoughts but shall remain within your integrity and follow your own process. We greatly thank you for this consideration as it allows us to speak freely those thoughts which we would share with you at this time.

Wethank the one known as G for this query, for it gives us an opportunity to share thoughts concerning the principle characteristic of your density, and to some extent, the earlier portion of the density which is to come. Your density is often called the density of Choice. With choice there is the exclusive reference to the dynamic of two paths, one high, one low; one radiant, one magnetic; one service-to-others, one service-to-self. Just as that is the central characteristic of your density, so is it the central activity of the spiritual seeker to make the choice between the high and the low, the radiant and the magnetic, the light and the dark, service to others or service to self.

We speak to those that have made that initial choice of service to others. We too, in our third densities, made that choice, each for ourselves, and so we walk that path of the Light, the radiant, the service-to-others. You join with us and are wonderful companions to us as we share your vibrations in this circle of seeking. How wonderful it is to walk together! Evolution is inevitable. No force can oppose it. No force can keep it from going forward. However, the engine of desire can accelerate the pace of spiritual evolution. We say this to indicate that it is not that the powers of darkness attempt to impede evolution. Rather it is that the powers of darkness ask the seeker to evolve according to the service-to-self path. Such progress may seem to be unpleasant to one who is completely dedicated to seeking in service to others. To achieve ever greater polarity in service-to-self, however, is as valid a path of evolution of mind, body, and spirit as is the polarity of service-to-others on the path of Light. Both paths come eventually to unity in sixth density.

G’s first question was: “Q’uo, on the level of pure, undifferentiated, unmanifest unity, there are no dynamic forces at play. But to whatever extent that the seeker is working within the illusions of duality and opposing forces, is there a counter-pull to attempts at evolution? In other words, as attempts are made to know and become the light, is there a corresponding intensification of the darkness within?” Q’uo thanked G for this query, because it gave them an opportunity to share thoughts concerning the nature of our density and to the earlier portion of the density which is to come, so our density is called the density of Choice, and with Choice there is the reference to the dynamic of two paths of service-to-others, and service-to-self, so just as that is the central characteristic of our density, so is it the central activity of the spiritual seeker to make the choice between service to others or service to self. Then Q’uo said we speak to those that have made that initial Choice of service to others, and we also, in our third densities, made that Choice, and we walk that path of the Light and service-to-others, so Q’uo said that we are companions to them as they share our vibrations in this circle of seeking, and how wonderful it is to walk together because evolution is inevitable, and no force can oppose it, but the engine of our desire can accelerate the pace of spiritual evolution, and the powers of darkness ask us to evolve according to service-to-self since it is as valid a path of evolution of mind, body, and spirit as is the polarity of service-to-others on the path of Light, but both paths come eventually to unity in sixth density. In 36.15, Ra described how both paths come into unity in the sixth density:

The sixth-density negative entity is extremely wise. It observes the spiritual entropy occurring due to the lack of ability to express the unity of sixth density. Thus, loving the Creator and realizing at some point that the Creator is not only self but other-self as self, this entity consciously chooses an instantaneous energy reorientation so that it may continue its evolution.

So, when thinking about the way each action is met by an equal and opposing action, it is not necessary to think of this illusion but rather to think of a choice that is made once, and then again, again, and again, throughout an incarnational experience. The hope that those minions of the dark have in offering that necessary darkness that shadows the Light is that the seeker shall be distracted and stop moving in a continuous pattern of choices that are equally positive and find that the self is considering choices that are not necessarily dark, but are those which indicate the attraction of shadow. The seeker that is distracted by temptation may feel himself burning out and find that he must sit by the side of the road for a time and rest. This does not halt the engine of evolution, which is inevitable. It merely slows that process of acceleration that had been ongoing before that temptation had been accepted.

It is, however, quite true that as a seeker stands closer and closer to the Light, he casts an ever sharper shadow, so that he draws attention. And consequently, he receives the attention of those energies and essences of what this instrument might term “the dark side,” following the pop-culture term of Star Wars. When you consider further that those who seek the Light are innocent and naïve, and that those who seek service-to-self polarity are clever and subtle, you can begin to see the shape of temptation. There is not so much the heavy-handed energetic displacement of physical pain or those temptations that one might see as heavy or obvious. Rather it is that such temptations are insidious. You may have decided on a program of meditation and the insidious voice says, “Not today, perhaps tomorrow.” You may have decided to fast about speaking ill of another and the insidious voice says, “But justice must be done, I must be fair, I must find equity, I must not keep silent.”

Then Q’uo said when thinking about the way each action is met by an equal and opposing action, it is not necessary to think of this illusion but rather to think of a choice that is made once, and then again, and again, throughout an incarnational experience, so the hope of those minions of the dark have in offering that darkness that shadows the Light is that we shall stop moving in a pattern of choices that are positive and find that we are considering choices that are not dark, but are those which indicate the attraction of shadow, and when we are distracted by temptation we may feel ourself burning out, and find that we must sit by the side of the road and rest, but this does not halt the engine of evolution, which is inevitable, but it slows that process of growth that had been going on before that temptation had been accepted. Q’uo went on to say it is true that as we stand closer to the Light, we cast a sharper shadow, so that we draw attention, and we receive the attention of those energies of what Carla might term “the dark side”, so when we consider that those who seek the Light are innocent and naïve, and that those who seek service-to-self polarity are clever and subtle, we can see the shape of temptation, and there are not those temptations that we might see as obvious, but it is that such temptations are insidious, and we may have decided on a program of meditation and the insidious voice says: “’Not today, perhaps tomorrow.” We may have decided to fast about speaking ill of another and the insidious voice says, “But justice must be done, I must be fair, I must find equity, I must not keep silent.’” On June 14, 2005, Q’uo spoke of how some of those of the service-to-self polarity are called by service-to-others entities:

There is a tremendous focusing of Love and Light from all of those who respond to this calling from your peoples. It is our privilege and our blessing to be so called. There are also those with darker energies, which this instrument calls the service-to-self polarity, and to some extent they have also been called to your planet by those desiring to move ahead on the path of service to others. A wide range of information is available. Those who wish to receive messages of hope and truth along the path of service to others have called to us, and to you, children of Earth, the brothers and sisters of sorrow have come. We are your kindred, and we feel your sorrow. We cannot take your suffering upon us. We cannot participate in your choices.

It is that insidious voice that moves the energy expenditure of your day from a straight line of service to others and instead encourages the turning away into consideration of those things which have nothing to do with service to others but have everything to do with the comfort and the preferences of the self. Are those desires for comfort and those preferences negative or lower than the higher desires? My friends, we would say no. All desires are worthy. All desires are free to be followed until there is no longer that desire; until that desire has fallen away effortlessly. There is no consideration of lowness or judgment of one desire over another. You are here as entities evolving by knowing more and more about yourself. You experience those things desired, observe the results of those desires, and so gradually gather knowledge concerning yourself and insight concerning your perceptions. As a result you refine your desires and purify your choices and your intentions.

There is no such thing as a mistake because the results of that mistake will inevitably true themselves through time, bringing you onto the path you chose before incarnation by a series of serendipitous turns and twists. Consequently, you can rest from a concern that you can get off the track in a final or permanent way. The track goes with you and a homing sense within you shall steer you in whatever vector is necessary back toward your true and fundamental desire. Consequently, we would encourage those who seek to become ever more full of Light and more transparent to the will of the infinite One; to examine with love and not with judgment those moments of temptation, those time of listening to the insidious voice that would distract you and use up the energy of the day in doing those things which, upon thought, you may not prefer to do.

Q’uo went on to say it is that insidious voice that moves the energy expenditure of our day from service to others and towards everything to do with the comfort and the preferences of our self, so Q’uo asked if those desires for personal comfort are negative, but then they said they were not because all desires are free to be followed until that desire has fallen away, and there is no judgment of one desire over another, so we are here as entities evolving by knowing more about ourself, and we experience those things that we desire, and we gather knowledge concerning ourself and our perceptions, and then we refine our desires and purify our choices. Then Q’uo said there is no such thing as a mistake because the results of that mistake will inevitably true themselves through time, bringing us onto the path we chose before incarnation by a series of coincidences, so we can rest from concern that we can get off of our path in a final way because our path goes with us and a homing sense within us shall steer us in whatever direction is necessary back toward our true desire, so Q’uo encouraged us to become more full of Light and more transparent to the will of the infinite One; to examine with love and not with judgment those moments of temptation, those times of listening to the insidious voice that would distract us and use up the energy of our day in doing those things which we may not prefer to do. On September 20, 1992, Q’uo described how we can manifest the will of the infinite One:

The universal self is all of you, yet you are the universal Self alone. You are holy and profane, and you are as much a mystery as is the Creator. Your mystery and your service may be contained, convenient, and finite, or you may choose the high road of attempting to universalize modes of perception so that you move more and more into an acceptance of that which the mind brings. Full and loving action in the face of circumstance is your path of service. Each is on that path. Sudden changes take place in such paths and the scenery changes. As long as the attention is kept upon the will of the infinite One whatever service lies before you will feel most blessed.

As you become more mature, spiritually speaking, and more seasoned, you shall feel again and again that you have done nothing but take a step back. But this, my friends, is due to the fact that as you stand closer to the Light you see every blemish, every chink in the armor of Light that lies within yourself. And that too is a great temptation. It is a temptation to move away from spontaneity and being present in the moment, to turn to self-judgment and self-recrimination because you see these self-perceived imperfections. And yet, this too is the shadow side of self, that insidious voice that takes you away from the straight path of being transparent to the light and open to the moment, so that you may cooperate with whatever is occurring, whether it would seem to be a positive experience or a negative one.

We give you the example of this instrument it spoke of earlier in the round-robin talk that preceded this meditation, of being in the hospital and experiencing a fairly long period of discomfort that seemed to her to be completely unnecessary. It would have been very easy for this instrument to listen to those insidious voices, to feel self-pity, to feel anger, to feel self-judgment. However, this instrument chose, and well she chose, to give thanks, knowing from experience that such times of challenge are gifts hard to open but sweet in the opening. Such times shall come to this instrument and to all who seek the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator. As the seeking intensifies, so may the times of trial. That is what your illusion is for, the testing, the choosing, the testing, and the choosing again. It is a tapestry of light and dark, and there are no wrong choices, only the discovery of the self through the experiences of choice.

Q’uo continued by saying as we become more spiritually mature we shall feel we have done nothing but take a step back, but this is because as we stand closer to the Light we see every chink in the armor of Light that lies within our self, and that is a great temptation to move away from being present in the moment, to turn to self-judgment because we see our imperfections, but this is the shadow side of our self, that voice that takes us away from the straight path of being transparent to the Light and open to the moment, so that we may cooperate with whatever is occurring, whether it would seem to be a positive experience or a negative one. Then Q’uo gave us the example of Carla who spoke, in the round-robin talk that preceded this meditation, of being in the hospital and experiencing a long period of discomfort that seemed to her to be unnecessary, and it would have been easy for her to listen to those voices, to feel self-judgment, but she chose to give thanks, knowing from experience that such times of challenge are gifts hard to open but sweet in the opening, and such times shall come to her and to all who seek the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator because as the seeking intensifies, so may the times of trial, so that is what our illusion is for: the testing, the choosing, the testing, and the choosing again, and it is a tapestry of light and dark, and there are no wrong choices, only the discovery of our self through the experiences of choice. On October 21, 2001, Q’uo spoke of the value of times of trial for us:

Times of trial and trouble such as the one you experience now are those times when fear can be most crippling, and when that leap of faith can be most powerfully effective. What thoughts are you thinking at this moment? What thoughts have crossed your mind this day? What are your patterns of thought? Where do you put the value in your thinking time? And how would you choose to change those patterns of thought? Work in consciousness can be dazzlingly fast and brilliant. Instantaneous changes and transformations can occur, but in an incarnational experience the great majority of time is spent not in the flashes of illumination but in those times between, in those valleys between the mountaintop experiences. And yet those valleys can be your heaven or your hell or anything in between. Each thought that you think is at once an accident and a creation.

We said to you at the beginning of this conversation that it is not only third density that is wrapped up in the dynamic of positive and negative, but the beginning of fourth density as well. Indeed, there are many who, being new to fourth density, offer themselves as soldiers of the Light and see the soldiers of the dark as enemies to be battled. The insidious voices have won the day! And yet, this too is acceptable, and it does not halt the movement of evolution. It merely distracts it from its accelerated path, that acceleration that is chosen by those who seek the Light. On and on the war in heaven, as this instrument calls this phenomenon, runs until the last of third density has graduated and there is no more battleground over which to fight. Do not deplore this situation, for many there are who cannot quickly see through the nature of this dynamic of Light and dark and who must in taking sides become embattled.

The beauty of this obviously distorted choice is that while fourth density wages this war, it bleeds away the harshest of the fear, anger, and other negative emotions which lie within the red-ray’s inner planes, which constitute a great engine of fear which pops out in third density as geysers of negativity coming up through the mud of the subconscious and into the mind. It is a stabilizing factor for the inner planes of third density and it has alleviated harsh vibrations, just as the energy of All Saints Day alleviates but does not obliterate the energy of All-Hallows Eve. As these times of temptation occur within your seeking, be not afraid, for you are not alone. Standing with you is the entire body of those within the inner planes who vibrate in Love, forgiveness, and charity. Call upon and feel the tremendous force of that support. It is unseen, yet it is ever near and ever powerful.

Q’uo said to us at the beginning of this conversation that it is not only third density that is wrapped up in the dynamic of positive and negative, but the beginning of fourth density as well, and there are many who, being new to fourth density, offer themselves as soldiers of the Light and see the soldiers of the dark as enemies to be battled, so the insidious voices have won the day, yet this too is acceptable since it does not halt the movement of our evolution, but it distracts it from its path of acceleration that is chosen by us who seek the Light, so on and on the war in heaven runs, as Carla calls this phenomenon, until the last of third density has graduated, and there is no more battleground over which to fight, so we must not deplore this situation, for many there are who cannot see through the nature of this dynamic of Light and dark and who must, in taking sides, become embattled. Then Q’uo said the beauty of this distorted choice is that while fourth density wages this war, it bleeds away the harshest of the fear and anger which lie within the red-ray’s inner planes, which constitute an engine of fear which pops out in third density as geysers of negativity coming up through the mud of our subconscious and into our mind, and it is a stabilizing factor for the inner planes of third density which has alleviated harsh vibrations, just as the energy of All Saints Day alleviates the energy of Halloween, and as these times of temptation occur within our seeking, be not afraid, for we are not alone since standing with us is the entire body of those within the inner planes who vibrate in Love and forgiveness, so we can call upon and feel the force of that support that is unseen, yet it is ever near and ever powerful. On July 13, 1987, Hatonn spoke of those within the inner planes who joined us in love during our wedding ceremony:

Carla: Are you able to bring into mind the golden beings which were around Jim and me at our wedding, and if you are, could you comment on the possibilities in general of accompaniments from the inner planes and/or the outer planes at such metaphysically potent rituals?

I am Hatonn. Each seeker, according to the path which it travels, gathers to it those friends and teachers from the metaphysical realms which are ever present in the life experience. There are moments within the incarnational pattern which offer themselves to rejoicing and celebration and to the further gathering of those friends, both seen and unseen, which lend their very being to the ceremonies and rituals that signify the further enhancing of the potential for serving the Creator and for rejoicing in the creation of the Father. Thus, within your own pattern of experience, you have also called unto yourselves those presences which respond in joy at the call, and lend the brilliance of their being to your joyous celebration.

Theone known as Jesus stood at the pinnacle of the world in His time of temptation. He was offered power, the power to make things right for his people. Who would not want that? His only saving grace was the knowledge that His kingdom was not Earth, and that He had power to save but not in the worldly sense unless He so chose to relinquish His ability to offer spiritual power to those who saw beyond this Earth. Thusly He said, “Get thee behind me.” And He walked down from the hill which overlooked the world into the valley of human-hood, ignorance, illness, anguish and pain. And Te said, “This is my kingdom. Here shall I let the Life and the Love of the one Creator flow through me. Here shall I touch and be touched. Here shall I love and be loved.”

Think you that you are any less than the one known as Jesus? Nay my friends. You are all able to bear the cloak of Christhood; able to let compassion run through you like a golden river; able to open and bloom in the light of infinite Love, not so others may see you, but only to bloom, only to be. In that being lies your greatest gift. In that transparency lies your greatest service. Consequently, let the time flow. It is a river that will bring you storms and easy days. Angry whirlpools and halcyon waves. Trust the boat upon which you sit. It is the boat of your knowledge of yourself. Let that boat take all of the water, all of the moods of the river as they come, and if you do get distracted and find yourself in a whirlpool going around and around, let it exhaust itself in you, and then take out the keel, point it in the direction you choose with all your heart, and begin again. There is never an ending. There is never a true loss. There is only you, your desire, and the road upon which you long ago have set your foot.

Q’uo went on to say Jesus stood at the pinnacle of the world in His time of temptation, and He was offered the power to make things right for his people, and His only saving grace was the knowledge that His kingdom was not Earth, and that He had power to save but not in the worldly sense, so He chose to relinquish His ability to offer spiritual power to those who saw beyond this Earth, so He said, “Get thee behind me,” and He walked down from the hill which overlooked the world into the valley of human beings, ignorance, and pain, and He said, “This is my kingdom. Here shall I let the Life and the Love of the one Creator flow through me. Here shall I touch and be touched. Here shall I Love and be loved.” Q’uo completed their reply by saying that we are no less than Jesus because we are able to bear the cloak of Christhood; able to let compassion run through us like a golden river; able to open and bloom in the Light of infinite Love, but only to bloom and only to be, and in that being lies our greatest gift and our greatest service, so let the time flow since it is a river that will bring us storms and easy days, and trust the boat upon which we sit, the boat of our knowledge of our self, so let that boat take all of the water, all of the moods of the river as they come, and if we do get distracted and find ourself in a whirlpool going around and around, let it exhaust itself in us, and then take out the keel, point it in the direction we choose with all our heart, and begin again because there is never an ending, so there is only our desire, and the road upon which we long ago have set our feet. On June 7, 1990, Meta said that the Light of Infinite Love can provide a protection for us:

Ask the white Light of infinite Love to cover you completely, and in Love ask that it extend around the circle, covering each of your beloved brothers and sisters, growing and eventually becoming bright enough that you almost disappear because of the Light within, around and about the circle as well as upon the surface of your own physical body. You are now in a protected globe of white Light, in a position of sacred trust with those within the circle.

May we ask if there is a follow-up to this query. We are those of Q’uo.

G: Yes, Q’uo, thank you. Briefly, are you suggesting that the darkness or negative polarity within the self, the face of that darkness, is temptation, and that the self encounters that darkness as temptation?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. That is not precisely our suggestion. We are suggesting that it is helpful to view the shadow side of the self as the offerer of temptation. We are not suggesting you separate from the shadow side. We are simply suggesting that rather than separating the light part of the self from the dark part, or the higher desires of the self from the lower desires, it is helpful to see that together these two sides of self create a whole. Together the dynamic between light and dark creates that wonderfully unique entity that you are. In suggesting that you view the desires of the shadow side as distraction and insidious voices, we are attempting to give you a viewpoint which partakes of fearlessness and non-judgment as regards the worth of lower desires, so called. For every shadow energy can, through the application of compassion and unconditional acceptance, be refined to become a wonderful, powerful part of the self which supports the light.

By giving the action of the shadow side that is upon the surface, that comes to you as temptation, the respect of refusing to stop seeing it as temptation, you gradually are able to reach out to the shadow side and ask it for its help. However, in order to leave the surface of the shadow desires, these insidious voices, and to plunge deeply beneath that surface energy which partakes of judgment, you are honoring those energies and asking them to move into a more purified state. It is as if you saw a small child who was acting foolishly and not taking that foolishness lightly and saying, “That’s not a good decision.” Perhaps you might think of it another way. You do not shame the small child. But by being unafraid of the child’s tantrums, by speaking directly to the child through the storms of his emotions, you give the child the opportunity to see another choice, another way.

Then G asked: “Briefly, are you suggesting that the darkness or negative polarity within the self, the face of that darkness, is temptation, and that the self encounters that darkness as temptation?” Q’uo began by saying we are aware of your query, but that is not precisely our suggestion, so we are suggesting that it is helpful to view the shadow side of the self as offering temptations, but we are suggesting that rather than separating the light part of the self from the dark part, it is helpful to see that together these two sides of self create a whole, and together the dynamic between Light and dark creates that unique entity that you are, so in suggesting that you view the desires of the shadow side as insidious voices, we are attempting to give you a viewpoint which partakes of fearlessness and non-judgment as regards the worth of lower desires, for every shadow energy can, through the application of compassion, be refined to become a powerful part of the self which supports the Light. Q’uo went on to say by giving the action of the shadow side that comes to you as temptation, the respect of refusing to stop seeing it as temptation, you are able to reach out to the shadow side and ask it for its help, but in order to leave the surface of the shadow desires and to plunge beneath that surface energy which partakes of judgment, you are honoring those energies and asking them to move into a more purified state and give yourself the opportunity to see another choice. On November 23, 2019, Q’uo spoke of how we can invite our shadow side to help us on our spiritual journey:

Thus, within the meditative state, by inviting these various portions of the shadow side to express themselves to the conscious seeker of truth, this seeker then may discover that within the shadow side there are qualities that are most helpful in the spiritual path. Perhaps there is a toughness, a grittiness that can see one through difficult situations because the shadow side has had to be shunned aside for so long. Perhaps there is a creativity to the shadow side that may aid the spiritual seeker in looking at the daily round of activities and the processing of catalyst of others in a new or novel way that aids the perceptions of the conscious seeker in a manner that allows it to become more and more of the One Infinite Creator, and to see more and more of the One Infinite Creator in those beings around one, in the environment around one, in every portion of the existence that the spiritual seeker of truth is aware of.

May we answer you further, my brother, we are those of Q’uo.

G: I’ll respond with a comment and then not ask a question, because there are other questions. My response is that I understand and feel the benefit of your approach that lifts the seeker’s perspective to a point from which they can see all desires, as you said, as being worthy and valuable. And from that perspective the seeker may respond to such desires with a light heart, with a faithful attitude, with an open heart, and thereby make the best use of the energies that are available.

At the same time, sometimes the way I hear you it sounds as if you try to erase distinction. And I would just say that I believe that being able to differentiate, being able to derive distinctions, being able to identify and call something what it is and know it is also very helpful and goes hand in hand with that perspective which you are trying to relay, which is to greet what you have identified with an open heart. That’s all for me, on to other questions.

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of this entity’s comment, which is insightful. We thank the one known as G for sharing this insight.

May we ask if there is another query at this time. We are those of Q’uo.

Jim: B asks, “When our physical bodies die in third density, approximately how long in time does it take an entity then to incarnate in the fourth density?”

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of the query of the one known as B, to whom we offer greetings. The response to this query cannot be singular, for each entity is unique. If an entity has been able to move through the healing of the incarnation while within physical incarnation, the time of healing which is spent after incarnation and before a decision is made concerning the next step can be quite short, in your measurement of time perhaps a number of weeks. Especially if there is some pressure from within the entity to move forward, this procedure may even be shortened to perhaps one or two months and no more.

Conversely, if during the physical incarnation there has not been a healing of the incarnation, then the time of healing may be quite prolonged, perhaps in your measurement of time many years. It depends on the depth of the distortion complex in which an entity exists at the time of his passing from physical life to larger or metaphysical life. Indeed, there are those who have died without realizing they have entered the gates of larger life, primarily those upon the battlefield, but also those taken in sudden trauma in other ways than war. They spend many, many years, perhaps even centuries of your time, living through mists and confusion until finally there is an awareness of the true state of affairs, which is that they are no longer in a physical body and are no longer living a physical life.

B asked: ““When our physical bodies die in third density, approximately how long in time does it take an entity then to incarnate in the fourth density?” Q’uo began by saying we are those of Q’uo, and are aware of the query of B, to whom we offer greetings, and the response to this query cannot be simple, for each entity is unique, so if an entity has been able to move through the healing of the incarnation while within its incarnation, the time of healing which is spent after incarnation, and before a decision is made concerning the next incarnation, can be a few of weeks, and if there is some pressure from within the entity to move forward, this procedure may even be shortened to perhaps one or two months. Then Q’uo said if, during the incarnation there has not been a healing of the incarnation, then the time of healing may be quite prolonged, perhaps many years because it depends on the depth of the distortion in which an entity exists at the time of its passing from physical life to larger life, and there are those who have died without realizing they have entered the gates of larger life, primarily those upon the battlefield or those taken in sudden trauma in other ways than war, so they spend many years, perhaps even centuries living through confusion until there is an awareness that they are no longer in a physical body and are no longer living a physical life. In 47.13, Ra spoke of how an entity may spend a great deal of time before they realize that their physical body has died:

Questioner: What stimulus would create what we call an Earth-bound spirit or a lingering ghost?

Ra: I am Ra. The stimulus for this is the faculty of the will. If the will of yellow-ray mind/body/spirit is that which is stronger than the progressive impetus of the physical death towards realization of that which comes, that is, if the will is concentrated enough upon the previous experience, the entity’s shell of yellow ray, though no longer activated, cannot either be completely deactivated and, until the will is released, the mind/body/spirit complex is caught. This often occurs, as we see you are aware, in the case of sudden death as well as in the case of extreme concern for a thing or an other-self.

For instance, when the Twin Towers were blasted in your city of New York in your year 2001, there were hundreds of entities who died so quickly that they were not aware of the change in their condition. The natives of that island, being of what you would call the Native American nature, came into the inner planes of that building and built camp fires and drew the groups of people to them by shining that flickering light. And, sitting around the campfire, they told the story of death and rebirth into a new environment. Over a period of time the Manhattan Indians brought to their tribe all those who were confused, and one by one, rendered them able to see their guidance coming for the first time, so that they reentered the stream of evolution and began their time of healing.

You asked how long it takes after awareness has been reached and the healing has ended to enter fourth density. That too is variable. For some it is very quick, for there is the eagerness to get on with the new lessons, the new service, the new learning, the new challenges, and it is a heady thing to be in the fourth-density light in which there is so much more information and so many more options as to what to learn how to serve and so forth. For others, and indeed in the majority of cases in those who are graduating at this time in the harvest of Earth, there is a decision to stay within the inner planes and to help lighten the third-density planetary consciousness, or indeed, in many cases the choice is made to enter into incarnation in the third density world once again, coming this time as fourth-density wanderers, in order to reach out to their brothers and sisters whom they have just left.

Then Q’uo said when the Twin Towers were blasted in New York City in 2001, there were hundreds of entities who died so quickly that they were not aware of the change in their condition, and the natives of that island, being of the Native American nature, came into the inner planes of that building, and built camp fires, and drew the groups of people to them by shining that flickering light, and sitting around the campfire they told the story of death and rebirth into a new environment, so over a period of time the Manhattan Indians brought to their tribe all those who were confused and helped them to be able to see their guidance coming for the first time, so that they reentered the stream of evolution and began their time of healing.

My sister, the weariness which spiritual seekers feel at this time is indeed an artifact of the changing energy at the waning of Light in third density and the dawning of Light in fourth density. Fourth-density light more and more interpenetrates third-density Light and, as we said in response to an earlier query, this Light is loaded with information. It is the Light of Love and understanding and the burden of information that it carries is heavy. It carries more truth than third-density Light. It carries more truth than third density can use comfortably. This means that those who are already awake and already seeking are now seeking under more of a strain than they might have, say, thirty or forty years ago even, and certainly more than one hundred or two hundred years ago.

These entities are those you call the indigo children or the crystal children, and their presence with their double-activated bodies is very helpful. For within incarnation these entities have a thinner veil because of the double activation and therefore are able to be lighthouses and allow the light of the infinite Creator to flow through them with much less resistance than those with third-density wiring only. It is to be remembered, my brother, that once you have left the river of time and entered larger life, time is completely irrelevant to you. Your concern then is to fulfill patterns, to come into balance, and when balance has been achieved, to poise the self, tune the self, and turn the self to the next choice of paths, the next incarnation or the next non-incarnational term of service within the inner planes. You shall truly not have to be concerned with time when your time in third density is over.

It is a blessing to be in the river of time and to have these choices to make while the veil is thick and opaque. Much can be done in that atmosphere that cannot be done when there is no veil. For when there is an opaque and thick veil it is faith that can move the point of balance within your personality in a deeper sense, in a much more powerful fashion than can be achieved when faith is no longer necessary, for you see all and know the truth for sure.

On December 31, 1989, Q’uo described the river of time:

Each of you, as individualized portions of the one Creator, partake in this process by particularizing what is simultaneous, taking a small portion of what you would call the river of time from the ocean of eternity, and viewing that river of time as if under the microscope, looking at what seems to come before that which follows, creating the past, the present, and the future, in order that that which is and that is unity in many portions might be experienced in a more intense, varied, and purified fashion. That small sliver, then, of experience that is chosen for each incarnation has working upon it your free will choice, so that that which is eternal becomes magnified and particularized enough that it may be examined carefully within an incarnation, be worked upon by free will, be refined in this process and be purified as an expression of Beingness, of the identity of the one Creator within yourself.

Thus, you enter into this entire process in order that you might pick a portion of that which is yourself and, by working upon it intensively, cause it to become as vivid as possible that it might become an adornment, an honestation for the one Creator. Thus, you refine as one who takes the raw ore from the mountainside and removes from it by this process of particularization that which is gold so that the product of this process, then, is bright, brilliant and shining and is purified in its nature in a manner which would not have been possible were not you to have chosen to expend your consciousness and your effort upon it.

We thank the one known as B for this query. May we ask if there is a final query at this time.

D:Yes, I have one. Is the planetary system of healing called Reiki the same as what Ra termed the sending of love/light?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The description which those of Ra offered in conversations with the one known as Don of healing and the theory of Reiki are indeed congruent, my brother. While the teaching of Reiki does not involve precisely the same way of describing the gateway of intelligent infinity and the allowing and desiring of energy through the gateway into the green-ray chakra and then out through the hands and so fourth, yet still the activity which both suggest is congruent.

May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.

D: That’s great! Thank you.

We thank you, my brother. May we say what a privilege it has been to share our meditation with you. We thank each of you for your courage and your beauty, and we leave this instrument and this group rejoicing in the power and the peace, the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I went outside and weeded the Yellow Creeping Jenny garden in the back yard by hand since recent rains have soaked the ground which makes it possible to pull weeds out roots and all. Then I went towards the corner of the back yard and weeded about ten small Hosta leaves. Then I weeded the Spotted Ivy out of the Italia Indica plant next to the Hosta.

This afternoon I went outside and used my big mower, Venus, to mow the grass in my side and back yards. There are still Buttercups growing in the front yard, so I will use my trimmer to trim the grass from between the Buttercups.

From Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

Rise And Be Free

I am the spirit of the full consciousness of Love. I greet you in the love of Christ.

Within the mind does each pilgrim bow before the Spirit and fall to the knees upon the dusty floor of human suffering.

Yet to the Spirit all things are Light and Love and the holy flame of the principle of Jesus the Christ reaches out to sin and suffering with hand and arm, saying, “Arise! Come and do the work of the Spirit, not the work of the bondservant.” My children, rise and be free, for that Spirit which is Love utterly commits and utterly frees the answering Spirit of the pilgrim. Answer and be made whole, that the Light may shine in and through you and that you may, by your Light, lift others from the threshing floor of error.

We leave you in the transfiguring peace of the Love of Christ, now and forever. 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.
