I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 24, 2009:
G: Q’uo, I have read that Krishnamurti used to say that in the gap between subject and object lies the entire misery of humankind. It seems to me that the spirit’s journey can be seen in terms of the complex and dynamic relationship between subject and object. For instance, here are some ways that the subject can relate to the object. The subject fears the object. The subject hates the object. The subject is indifferent to the object. The subject seeks control of the object. The subject is related to the object, etc.
When the heart becomes activated, and its energies enter the picture, the relationship between the subject and object begins to change. For instance, the subject begins to accept the object. The subject tolerates the object. The subject is patient with, forgives, and embraces the object. Love sees the divine within the object. In short, the subject sees the Creator in the object and the subject. Finally, it seems the message of the Law of One is that there is no subject and no object. There is only unity. So, how do we eliminate completely the gap between the subject and the object so that our experience is one?
(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 a great pleasure and privilege to be asked to join your circle of seeking and to consider the question of the one known as G concerning the distance between subject and object and how to traverse that distance in such a way that it disappears. However, as always, we would preface our remarks by requesting that each of you who listens to or reads these words use discrimination, so that our thoughts are not simply accepted but are held to your own personal standards and needs. If our thoughts resonate to you, then by all means use them, but if they do not, please leave them behind. In this way we can speak freely without being concerned that we shall interfere with your spiritual process or become a stumbling block in your way. We assure you that your discrimination is quite accurate. Therefore, listen for the feeling of resonance and pay attention to your own preferences.
Certainly, the third-density experience is saturated with the experience of being a person apart from others. There seems to be an inevitable reality to one’s being separate from all other selves. It is obvious that the physical body is separate from all other physical bodies. It is equally obvious that at least in the normal run of human experience your thoughts are your own and none others. Your creation is a subjective one, applying in many ways only to you, the individual. This is not a mistake in design. It is indeed a prominent feature of the system of third density that creates an environment in which the seemingly separate self, viewing all that lies around him, must make choice after choice of how to see his environment and how to respond to it. In those cases, the self is the subject and all other things upon which he looks are the objects.
The veil of forgetting lies heavily over third density. It is not a mistake that each individual self is cocooned within his own flesh and bones. It is the way the school of learning works to help you make that choice of polarity. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that both you and that other self upon whom you look and with whom you must interact are two sparks of the same Creator, virtually identical in every way, and that you were put here to love that entity, and that entity was put here to love you, there would be no occasion to call upon faith. There would be no occasion to suffer the pangs of isolation. And there would be no reason to go through the fire of catalyst turning into experience when everything about a situation is known. That situation ceases to be catalytic. And although it is hard to fathom within incarnation, this process of catalysis is one of the big reasons that you chose to incarnate and to undergo the experience of having a life on planet Earth.
G’s question was: “Finally, it seems the message of the Law of One is that there is no subject and no object. There is only unity. So, how do we eliminate completely the gap between the subject and the object so that our experience is one?” Q’uo began by saying the third-density experience is filled with our experience of being a person apart from others, and there seems to be a reality to our being separate from all other selves, so it is obvious that our body is separate from all other bodies, and it is obvious that in the normal run of human experience our thoughts are our own and none others, and our creation is a subjective one, applying only to us, but this is not a mistake in design to be a feature of the system of third density that creates an environment in which our separate self, viewing all that lies around us, must make choice after choice of how to see our environment and how to respond to it, so in those cases we are the subject and all other things upon which we looks are objects. Q’uo continued by saying the third-density experience is filled with the experience of our being a person apart from others, and there seems to be a reality to our being separate from all other selves, so it is obvious that our body is separate from all other bodies, and it is also obvious that in the normal run of human experience our thoughts are our own, and our creation is a subjective one, applying only to us, but this is not a mistake in design because it is feature of the system of third density that creates an environment in which the seemingly separate self, viewing all that lies around us, must make choice after choice of how to see our environment and how to respond to it, and in those cases, we are the subject, and all other things upon which we look are the objects. On October 15, 1989, Q’uo said that creation is a subjective one:
The creation is a subjective thing. We have found nothing but illusion, and yet still we seek the one infinite Creator as we refine our path, as we become more rested, more trusting, more joyful, more relaxed and more intent upon a single-minded goal of practicing the presence of the infinite One. We find, as we have said, that we continue to find ourselves in the divine discomfort of learning, in the difficult and sometimes painful cleansing of the self of those idiosyncrasies which are not necessary and perhaps are seen as stumbling blocks to a continued, persistent, and successful seeking to accelerate the rate of one’s spiritual growth.
You came with an agenda for your learning and with a similar agenda for your service. In order to create the proper environment for your learning you chose challenging relationships. You chose limitations within yourself, both physical and mental. You chose areas in which you would work, themes within the incarnation, shall we say. Perhaps by now you have identified your biggest theme or two or three largest themes of repeating patterns within your life. It is by the repetition of these patterns that you can begin to recognize what your higher self and you before incarnation felt was the appropriate direction of your lessons. What you hoped for in the transformational work of Earth was to shift your system of biases to lessen distortion. You wished to come more into balance in an atmosphere and environment in which there was no guidance but faith; no star to steer by but hope; no surety but your own self-confidence that you know who you are and why you are here. It is an efficient design.
The environment offers you all you need in order to discover who you are and how you wish to shape your life’s journey. In this journey the subject, yourself, remains separated from the object by that part of the sentence that lies between subject and object, the verb. Ask how one may eliminate the distance between subject and object, and we would say to you that it is when the verb used is “love” that the distance between subject and object shrinks. For instance, a neutral sentence might be, “The vase on the table holds flowers.” The vase is the subject. The flowers are the object and the action taken is “to hold.” Taste in your mind the sentence, “The vase loves the flowers.” Knowing the nature of a vase and the nature of flowers, you may infer that the vase is holding the flowers. Yet for the vase to love the flowers is for a seemingly inanimate object to come alive and to embrace the flowers not only with the round smoothness of its opening but also with its heart.
Then Q’uo said we came with an agenda for our learning and with a similar agenda for our service, and in order to create the environment for our learning we chose challenging relationships, limitations within ourself, both physical and mental, and we chose areas in which we would work, themes within the incarnation, and now we have identified our biggest theme or two largest themes of repeating patterns within our life, so it is by repetition of these patterns that we can begin to recognize what our higher self and we felt before incarnation was the appropriate direction of our lessons, and what we hoped for in the transformational work of Earth was to shift our system of biases to lessen distortion because we wished to come more into balance in an environment in which there was no guidance but faith, and no surety but our own self-confidence that we know who we are, and why we are here within an efficient design. Q’uo went on to say the environment offers us all we need in order to discover who we are and how we wish to shape our life’s journey, and in this journey the subject, our self, remains separated from the object by that part of the sentence that lies between subject and object, the verb, and it is when the verb used is “love” that the distance between subject and object shrinks, so a neutral sentence might be, “The vase on the table holds flowers,” and the vase is the subject, and the flowers are the object, and the action taken is “to hold,” so picture in our mind the sentence, “The vase loves the flowers,” and knowing the nature of a vase and the nature of flowers, we may see that the vase is holding the flowers, yet for the vase to love the flowers is for a seemingly inanimate object to come alive and to embrace the flowers not only with the round smoothness of its opening but also with its heart. On September 18, 1988, Q’uo described how we have repeating patterns in our lives:
There are entities who have studied the nature of their own self for a long enough span of your time that they are aware of the parallel patterns that have appeared with the incarnation and are able to pinpoint the beliefs which have formed about these repeating patterns. There is the means of determination which you have mentioned, that being contemplation, prayer, or meditation during which there is the opening of the conscious mind to deeper portions of the conscious and of the subconscious minds in order that information may be obtained in some form, whether it be verbal, mental, imagery, or feeling tones, as you may call them.
To envision a troublesome other-self as the Creator is an exercise that anyone is capable of doing. If you attempt to reason with the other-self and find that the other-self is not capable of rational converse, then you are at a loss, stymied for further action. If you attempt to judge another self then you are caught in the wheel of karma, and as you judge, so shall you be judged. We say this not to discourage you from analyzing and seeing as clearly as possible each and every situation, each and every relationship. We say this to point out that the mind of the world can take you only so far, whereas the mind of the heart, that consciousness of Love, can transform your world into a beautiful place. It can transform the daily grind into a great adventure. Say that you are attempting to deal with a family member that seems to be intractably determined to avoid coming into harmony with you. The challenge then is to re-see that family member. See that entity as the Christ and watch your defensiveness and anger subside.
Q’uo said in such a way the sentence, “I go to work,” can be transformed by changing the verb to “love”: “I love work,” and our heart has been opened with regard to this object, work, and it is so simple that it escapes rational thought, so if we see ourself as love, and we see objects about us as love, then love is loving love, whatever we do, so to translate that into another form, Q’uo might say that if we perceive ourself as the Creator then we know that we are a person of power, and our striving can cease, for a powerful person does not need to strive effortfully, and if we perceive those about us as the Creator, then we know that our relationship is Creator to Creator, and since the Creator is Love, then we are Love, loving Love, so again the distance between subject and object diminishes. Then Q’uo said to envision a troublesome other-self as the Creator is an exercise that anyone is capable of doing, so if we attempt to reason with the other-self and find that the other-self is not capable of communication, then we are at a loss for further action, or if we attempt to judge another self then we are caught in the wheel of karma, and as we judge, so shall we be judged, but Q’uo did not say this to discourage us from analyzing every situation and every relationship, but they said this to point out that the mind of the world can take us only so far, whereas the mind of our heart, that consciousness of Love, can transform our world into a beautiful place, so if we are attempting to deal with a family member that seems to be determined to avoid coming into harmony with us, our challenge then is to re-see that family member, and see that entity as the Christ and watch our defensiveness and anger subside. On October 22, 1986, Q’uo described our nature as the consciousness of Love:
We suggest to you, my friends, that there is one consciousness, which in its original and undistorted form may be called Love. The consciousness of Love is the great original Thought, crystal clear and pure, and by its profound, generative nature, the Creator of all that there is.
Thus, the consciousness that is your identity and nature is some distortion, one representation of that one great original Thought of Love which created all that there is. When the conscious mind of man is used without the aid of the deeper mind, very little of the consciousness of Love can be channeled through you from consciousness to manifestation. The person who lives in mind and not in heart lives a dry and arid life, unrelieved by the beauty of Love or the joy of passion, for, indeed, it is those with a passion and joy for knowing the truth, for celebrating friendship, and for seeking Love, that creates the full potential of consciousness for each of you.
Now, you are the only one who is aware of this entity’s true nature. Certainly, the other-self is not. Had the family member seen himself as the Creator and a being of great Love, he would not place himself in opposition to you or stand in the way of supporting and encouraging you in everything you do. So, this is your secret. Only you know the true identity of this family member. But since you know, it changes your experience of this entity. This family member may continue, as this instrument would say, to push your buttons and yet you can see this entity unhappy as he is attempting to sow strife and you are not vulnerable to the automatic responses that you learned toward this family member so long ago. You do not have to remain stuck in the pattern of relationship that was formed before you were a person of self-awareness and power. You can forge a new relationship that only goes one way and that relationship is Love reflected in Love.
Perhaps the family shall never perceive any difference between the past and the present and shall not see your transformation into a person of Love and power. That does not matter to you. All that matters to you is that you retain the vision of this entity as the Christ and are therefore able to love, encourage and support this entity in any way that lies within the path of your integrity. His situation may not change. He may never get that which you are offering so freely and lovingly. But your experience shall be greatly improved. For you have chosen to see reality instead of illusion, to dig deep instead of sliding across the surface of life. Those depths are comforting, and peaceful, and living in Love is healing and joyful. Thusly, little by little, you may, by the way you live your life, create a new world for yourself in which all beings are the Christ and all actions are those taken in Love.
Q’uo said we are the only one who is aware of this entity’s true nature, but our other-self is not, for had the family member seen himself as the Creator and a being of great Love, he would not stand in the way of supporting and encouraging us in everything we do, so only we know the true identity of this family member, but since we know, it changes our experience of this entity, and this family member may continue to push our buttons, yet we can see this entity is unhappy as he is attempting to sow strife, but we are not vulnerable to the automatic responses that we learned toward this family member long ago, and we do not have to remain stuck in the pattern of relationship that was formed before we were a person of self-awareness, so we can forge a new relationship that goes one way, and that relationship is Love reflected in Love. Q’uo continued by saying perhaps the family shall never perceive any difference between the past and the present, and shall not see our transformation into a person of Love and power, but all that matters to us is that we retain the vision of this entity as the Christ and are able to love and support this entity in any way that lies within the path of our integrity, and he may never get that which we are offering so lovingly, but our experience shall be improved, for we have chosen to see reality instead of illusion, and those depths are peaceful, and living in Love is healing and joyful, so we may, by the way we live our life, create a new world for our self in which all beings are the Christ, and all actions are those taken in Love. On May 17, 1974, Hatonn spoke of the nature of our seeing reality instead of illusion:
The very few people upon your planet who see reality are often thought to be quite insane. My friends, one must not attempt to understand what we are giving on the level of language. Go within, my friends, and meditate. For knowledge of reality will come only from within. Accept nothing on blind faith, but accept everything that is of good report. Allow all paradoxes to remain so. Accept much, and reject nothing. Go within, my friends, for within you lies reality.
We do not suggest a grand program of changing the world in order to achieve a more loving Earth world. Rather we suggest that you confine your work to your own consciousness. That is your true arena of adventure and challenge. It is not for nothing that the one who wishes to seek goes into a cave or the apse of a cloistered church, or other quite forested or retreated places that are dark and that limit the stimuli of the senses. It is very easy for the seeker to become lost in sensations. Your culture is on sensory overload. The more you partake in listening to or watching the mass media, playing the games that the computer experts have created for your entertainment, and other ways of distracting the self and keeping the self on the surface of life, the less success you will have in living a lucid and coherent life in faith.
We are not suggesting that you refrain completely from spending your time watching the media, listening to the songs and the news and so forth. We are suggesting that you be aware that, generally speaking, the purpose of such media in offering their shows to you is to sell products and to create an atmosphere of sameness and conformity so that each human being within the society becomes a trusted consumer of products and ideas that have been sanitized until nothing of true digestive value remains. The more of the buzz that you take in, the more it is likely that you will continue to see other-selves as objects against which one may have to defend oneself or with which one may have to be clever and smart in interacting. Blessed is the man in your society who is able to greet all with the unspoken but very present awareness that the person to whom he is speaking is none less than the Creator.
The journey from well-defined isolation and life as a monad to the undefended self with an open heart that senses itself as part of the dance of life is a long one. And, indeed, to achieve a total awareness of the unity of all things within incarnation is quite rare. Yet it is a goal that is clearly a good one, a positive one, one which shall bring you many blessings as you do the work that it takes to clear your vision of judgment and to allow love to flow into the sometimes unkind and harsh picture that you see with your physical eyes. As always, Love is the answer to your question. See yourself as a creature of Love. See all other things as creatures of Love. And see the action you take towards another self or a situation in general as partaking in unconditional Love. Love, Love, Love: Love as subject, Love as verb, Love as object. These are the practices that shall bring you ever closer to your goal of living in unity in a world of your own making that is a world of Love.
Now Q’uo said they do not suggest a program of changing the world in order to achieve a more loving Earth, but they suggest that we confine our work to our consciousness because that is our true arena of adventure and challenge, and it is not for nothing that the one who wishes to seek goes into a cave or other retreated places that are dark and limit the stimuli of our senses since it is easy us to become lost in sensations, and our culture is on sensory overload so that the more we partake in watching the mass media, playing the games on the computer for our entertainment, and other ways of keeping our self on the surface of life, the less success we will have in living a coherent life in faith. Then Q’uo said they are not suggesting that we refrain completely from spending our time watching the media and listening to the songs and the news, but they are suggesting that we be aware that the purpose of such media in offering their shows to us is to sell products and to create an atmosphere of conformity so that each entity within society becomes a consumer of products and ideas that have been sanitized until nothing of true value remains, and the more of the buzz that we take in, the more it is likely that we will continue to see other-selves as objects against which we may have to defend our self or with which we may have to be clever in interacting, and blessed is the entity in our society who is able to greet all with the unspoken awareness that the person to whom they are speaking is none less than the Creator. Q’uo completed their reply by saying the journey from well-defined isolation and life as a monk to the undefended self with an open heart that senses itself as part of the dance of life is a long one, and to achieve a total awareness of the unity of all things within incarnation is quite rare, yet it is a goal that is clearly a positive one, which shall bring us many blessings as we do the work that it takes to clear our vision of judgment and to allow Love to flow into the unkind picture that we see with our eyes, and as always Love is the answer to our question, so we can see ourself and all other things as creatures of Love because Love is the subject, verb, and the object, and these are the practices that shall bring us ever closer to our goal of living in unity in a world of our own making that is a world of Love. On June 24, 2005, Q’uo spoke of how Love is the answer to all of our problems:
Let the healing of your suffering begin. Let the healing of your incarnation begin so that you can, as this instrument said earlier, stand on your own two feet and look the world in the face, saying, “I know I make many mistakes. I am heavily flawed. Sue me. This is who I am, and I am still ready to explore the possibility that Love is the answer to all suffering.” Lift up off the cross of thinking it is necessary. Realize it is a training aid. When the training aid is no longer necessary, then you may spend your time rejoicing and giving thanks.
May we ask if there is within this circle any follow-up to that query? We are those of Q’uo
[Long pause.]
We are those of Q’uo, and we find from your silence that, as the one known as G is not here, there will be no follow-up to that query. Consequently, we would ask at this time if there is another question. We are those of Q’uo.
D: I’ve heard either you or Ra speak on a soul’s natural ability to polarize towards a certain polarity. Could you speak on this inherent polarity or natural tendency to polarize and why the negative polarity tries to circumvent it? I guess the gist of this question is, are third-density souls really up for grabs like the fourth-density battle would imply?
Weare those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. In the sense in which you ask it, it is quite true that as a seeker goes about making its choices in life, each entity is seen as an object to be swayed by those of negative polarity who would distract seekers from the positive polarity and retrain them to think in terms of service to self. It is not, my brother, that the negative polarity seeks to circumvent the process of evolution. It is that it is lobbying for one of two paths of evolution. As the seeker goes through his life, he is constantly standing at a fork in the road. One decision lasts for awhile, but then another decision comes up, another fork in the road. The challenge for the seeker is to determine which choice contains more love, more service, more radiance, and which path contains less service to others, less radiance, and more magnetism, and that which serves the self.
Whenchoices are made carelessly, it is often the case that an entity thinks he is choosing positively but has been seduced by the negative polarity into rationalizing a selfish act by pretty words. So, a great deal of care is called for when the seeker perceives that there is this fork in the road. It is well to sit and meditate on this choice, to feel into it: “Well, if I did that what would it feel like? If I did the other thing how would that feel?” For analysis can take the seeker only so far. To achieve a more well-rounded ability to judge at a crossroads in life, it is well to invoke one’s own insight and one’s feeling of direct apprehension for sensing into the true situation.
D’s question was: “I’ve heard either you or Ra speak on a soul’s natural ability to polarize towards a certain polarity. Could you speak on this inherent polarity or natural tendency to polarize and why the negative polarity tries to circumvent it?” Q’uo said it is true that as we go about making choices in our lives, each of us is seen as an object to be swayed by those of negative polarity who would distract us from the positive polarity and retrain us to think in terms of service to self, but it is not that the negative polarity seeks to circumvent the process of evolution, but it is that it is lobbying for one of two paths of evolution, and as we go through our life we are standing at a fork in the road, so one decision lasts for a while, but then another decision comes up with another fork in the road, and the challenge for us is to determine which choice contains more love and more service, and which path contains less radiance, and that which serves the self. Q’uo went on to say when our choices are made carelessly, it is often the case that we think we are choosing positively, but we have been seduced by the negative polarity into rationalizing a selfish act by pretty words, so great care is called for when we perceive that there is this fork in the road, so it is well to meditate on this choice, to feel into it: “Well, if I did that what would it feel like? If I did the other thing how would that feel?” For analysis can take us only so far, so to achieve a more well-rounded ability to judge at a crossroads in life, it is well to invoke our insight and our feeling of apprehension for sensing into the true situation. In 64.16, Ra described how analysis can be the way either the positive or negative entity may choose their path:
Questioner: Let us assume that a bodily distortion occurs within a particular entity who then has a choice of seeking allopathic aid or experiencing the catalyst of the distortion and not seeking correction of the distortion. Can you comment on the two possibilities for this entity and his analysis of each path?
Ra: I am Ra. If the entity is polarized towards service to others, analysis properly proceeds along the lines of consideration of which path offers the most opportunity for service to others.
For the negatively polarized entity the antithesis is the case.
For the unpolarized entity the considerations are random and, most likely, in the direction of the distortion towards comfort.
In order to avoid becoming a pawn in someone else’s game, it is well to think for oneself. In order to avoid moving down a sweet-sounding street which ends in a dead end in service to self, it is well to envision and sense into the choice before you. In this way, as you ask for deeper senses to come forward in you, your ability to perceive a situation is enhanced. It is always helpful to ask your guidance for insight. The practice of journaling is an excellent way to consult your own guidance, where you simply write out your question and then write down the next thought that comes into your mind. In this way, fairly easily, you can begin a conversation concerning those things that concern you, that are on your mind, and for which you need guidance.
So, my brother, looked at from the standpoint of the self as that one that has taken his power and chosen to be responsible for himself, the negative-polarity entity that might wish to distract you or turn you to the path of service to self really never has a chance. It is at first a seemingly risky thing to stand on your own two feet and think things through for the self without letting other people’s opinions or the run of opinion throughout the culture affect your thoughts. Many times it is all too clear that the cultural bias is somewhat oriented toward service to self. That which is of the popular culture tendencies will often have the tang of selfishness and self-involvement, where rationalizations abound. And you may say, “Well, it’s just business. That the way the world works,” while you hoard your riches and ignore those hungry, homeless, and lost entities that are your other-selves, saying, “Let them get jobs, let them work, just as I have had to work.” As your hearts are softened, these huge differences between person and person shall begin to soften also.
Then Q’uo said in order to avoid becoming a pawn in someone else’s game, it is well to think for ourself, and in order to avoid moving down a sweet-sounding street which ends in a dead end in service to self, it is well to sense into the choice before us as we ask for deeper senses to come forward in us, and our ability to perceive a situation is enhanced, so it is always helpful to ask our guidance for insight, and journaling is a way to consult our guidance, where we write down our question, and then write down the next thought that comes into our mind, so in this way we can begin a conversation concerning those things that concern us that are on our mind, and for which we need guidance. Q’uo went on to say that looked at from the standpoint of our self as having taken our power and chosen to be responsible for ourself, the negative-polarity entity that, might wish to distract us to the path of service-to-self, never has a chance, and it is at first a risky thing to stand on our two feet and think things through without letting other people’s opinions affect our thoughts, for many times it is clear that the cultural bias is oriented toward service-to-self, so that which is of the cultural tendencies will have the taste of selfishness where rationalizations abound, and we may say, “Well, it’s just the way the world works,” while we hoard our riches and ignore those hungry and homeless entities that are our other-selves, saying, “Let them let work just as I have had to work,” and as our hearts are softened, these huge differences between people shall begin to soften. On March 5, 2006, Q’uo said that our cultural bias is towards fear and a lack of faith:
This instrument, therefore, has absolutely no cultural bias and is fearless when it comes to the physical death. However, for the most part your peoples remain constrained by fears that they shall cease to exist. There is a lack of true faith in the culture, for all of the fine words and the gaudy rituals that it embraces. We may simply say on this point that each of you existed before time began to unroll its scroll in space/time. And you shall exist long after not only your physical body but the Earth itself is dust.
The one known as Jesus the Christ said, “He who helps even the least of these, my brothers, has helped me.” This is so directly against the prevailing attitude of the culture in which you experience life at this time that it is easy to see the dynamic. Another way that the negative polarity can seduce you from the positive path is to encourage you to use your power in order to help your family or your nation, or some element of the world, rather than the world as a whole. The one known as Jesus was once offered a great kingdom. And indeed, in the worldly sense, many of those who followed the one known as Jesus thought of him as a worldly, earthly king. Their hope was that he would take the Holy Land, as you call it now, back from the Romans who had conquered it.
The one known as Jesus could well have been tempted to lead his people to freedom. Yet somehow he knew and stated that his kingdom was not an earthly one. And so, he took to the road and walked it with dusty feet and offered his parables instead, educating people concerning his true kingdom, the human heart. We have spoken before concerning the battle between good and evil that reigns within the inner planes of early fourth density. We do not deny that such a war exists. It takes a good deal of what you call time and what we may call experience to see clearly that the war is not necessary, that there is nothing to defend and that love is the answer. And so, filled with glory, and honor, and hopes of serving the one infinite Creator, those of positive polarity go forth to do battle for the Light.
Gradually, as fourth density progresses for each of those in the fight, there comes a time of epiphany when it is seen that the war is unnecessary. And finally, that entity lays down his sword and moves ahead rejoicing. In your life too and in every seeker’s life there shall indeed come many forks in the road, many chances to make ethical choices. Receive them as gifts and enter into such choices with a full heart and a request for guidance and we believe that you will find yourself completely equal to remaining in your integrity and progressing along the path of service to others.
Q’uo continued by saying Jesus the Christ said, “He who helps even the least of these, my brothers, has helped me,” and this is against the attitude of the culture in which we experience life at this time, and another way that the negative polarity can seduce us from the positive path is to encourage us to use our power in order to help our family or our nation rather than the world as a whole, and Jesus was offered a great kingdom, and many of those who followed Jesus thought of Him as a worldly king, so their hope was that He would take the Holy Land back from the Romans who had conquered it. Q’uo continued by saying Jesus could have been tempted to lead His people to freedom, yet He stated that his kingdom was not an earthly one, so He took to the road and walked it with dusty feet and offered his parables instead, educating people concerning His true kingdom, the human heart, and Q’uo said they have spoken before concerning the battle between good and evil that reigns within the inner planes of early fourth density, and they do not deny that such a war exists, but it takes time and experience to see that the war is not necessary; that there is nothing to defend; and that Love is the answer, so filled with glory and hopes of serving the one infinite Creator, those of positive polarity go forth to do battle for the Light. Q’uo completed their reply by saying as fourth density progresses for each of those in the fight, there comes a time of epiphany when it is seen that war is unnecessary, and each entity lays down their sword and moves ahead rejoicing, and in every seeker’s life there shall come many chances to make ethical choices, and we can receive them as gifts and enter into such choices with a full heart and a request for guidance, and we will find ourself equal to remaining in our integrity and progressing along the path of service-to-others. On November 21, 2009, Q’uo described the value of making ethical choices:
Therefore, as humans attempt to become more fully human and to make ethical choices with clarity and precision, they have no proof that what they are thinking is correct, but only the faith within that believes, against all apparent adverse suggestion, that the universe is indeed a universe of Love and that making choices that enhance Love and enlarge compassion shall be the way in which power is developed to do work in consciousness.
May we ask if there is a follow-up to this query? We are those of Q’uo.
[Long pause.]
We are those of Q’uo, and again we perceive from the silence that there is no follow-up to this query. May we ask if there is another question at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
J: G asks about the word “darkness” as it is applied to those of the service-to-self path. It’s also used when speaking of the unknown. What’s the difference between the darkness of service to self and the darkness of the unknown?
Weare those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. It is an interesting question and a play with words at the same time to think about the darkness of the unknown and the darkness of negative polarity. Indeed, there is a bias within the general run of entities that would place a negative connotation on the unknown. For that which is not known can easily be feared. However, the entire spectrum of the spiritual journey takes place in darkness and in the light of the moon. Consequently, all that shall be good as well as all that shall be evil, according to your definitions of good and evil, alike are present in the darkness. This darkness is not a positive condition but rather an absence of light. The unknown seems dark because it is as yet unlit by familiarity, whereas negativity and evil seem dark because they express the utter refusal to let light shine.
The negative mindset is one which is shuttered against the Light. For the Light cannot be controlled. It is only in the absence of Light that control may be had. And so, when darkness, in the sense of evil, occurs, it is a darkness of the deliberate shutting out of those things which do not conform to the desired situation or outcome. That chosen darkness, when there is no need for darkness, is different from the darkness of the unknown in that there is a positive choice being made to shut out the Light of compassion, inclusivity, and the radiance of Love from the self to others. And so that which is dark because it is service-to-self is dark by choice.
However, simply because a choice has been made to deny the Light, that does not mean the Light does not exist. Consequently, the service-to-self path is a path steeped in illusion and lies. For it is only by denying the truth of Light that darkness can prevail. In the end, darkness never prevails. For it cannot put out the Light, as the Light can and does at last illumine every corner of existence. The eventual ascendancy of light is inevitable. The service-to-self path is delaying the inevitable moment where light is embraced, whereas the service-to-others polarity is cooperating with that moment and accelerating the pace towards it.

On May 25, 1986, Q’uo described the nature of the service-to-self path:
The service-to-self path became possible when the first division in third-density consciousness occurred due to the placement of what you have called the veil of forgetting between the conscious and the unconscious minds. This intensification of the illusion of separation provided to the Creator a more intense and purified means for that portion of Itself which may be seen as magnetic to function. Thus, the service-to-self path is one which draws unto itself the Light of the Creator in all portions of the creation about the entity which has chosen this means of knowing itself and of evolving towards the same Creator.
Thus, it is the same Light which powers both paths in opposite fashion, or so it would seem within the saga of polarity, for as those of the service-to-others path give forth the Light to all about them, it would seem that this action is in opposition to the service-to-self path which absorbs the Light and uses it for its own purposes. Yet, in truth, it is the Creator which provides the light for both paths, and the same Creator which receives the light as a result of the action that is potentiating upon each path.
We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if there is one final query before we leave this instrument.
D: Yes, I have one quick question about Love/Light. When a being sends Love/Light to another being, is Love/Light sent only through the hands or can it be sent by concentrating on a being and willing it?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. In actuality, the sending of Love by an act of will is far more common than the sending of Love through the hands, which takes place only when a healer is working upon another entity. Both are perfectly possible and equally efficacious. However, we would comment on your use of the word “will,” for it is not necessary to be overly concerned or to will or to project or push the sending of Love/Light from you to another person. In actuality you do not have to do anything. You simply have to set your intention, offer your prayer, and then move out of the way. For Love/Light is not flowing from you, or at least it shall not be for very long. You shall exhaust your human supply quickly.
Rather, whether it is from your being or through your hands, the Love/Light moves through you, not from you, coming from the one infinite Creator. It is for this reason that there is never any concern when Love/Light is offered, because it is the Creator’s light, and it is not an invasive or pushy Light. It goes where the need is. And if the entity to whom you are sending Light does not wish it, then it shall gently surround that entity but not enter its auric field. For free will is infinitely respected by the Creator’s light.
May we answer you further, my brother?
D: That’s great, thank you.
We thank you, my brother. We find that the energy wanes in this circle, and regretfully it is time for us to take our leave of you who sit in this circle of working this evening. We thank you for the beauty of your beings and your courage in seeking the truth. We thank you for digging deeply and thinking carefully. We thank you for the love that you have for the truth, for each other, and for the Creator. And we would offer you every support and encouragement as you go about your daily lives, seeking to transform a seemingly dull and placid existence into the great adventure it truly is when it is seen from the standpoint of the spiritual seeker who is using this mazed and mysterious veiled illusion of physical life to become a more authentic, a truer, a more genuine person who knows himself ever more well and who is ever abler to serve the one infinite Creator as he so wishes.
At any point that you may wish for us to share your meditation, you have only to call upon us and we shall be with you, offering a carrier wave that helps to stabilize your own meditative vibrations. Simply ask for us mentally and we shall be with you, not to speak but only to love you and support your seeking. Thank you again for the opportunity to share our humble thoughts with you. We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We leave you, as we found you, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning I vacuumed the first floor of my home, and then I went outside and planted three packets of Morning Glories in the garden in the middle of the cross area in the back yard because when I was weeding this area yesterday I discovered what few Morning Glories had sprouted from being planted a couple of weeks ago seemed to have been eaten by some kind of bug.
This afternoon I went back outside and transplanted five trays of flowers in the flower garden in the center of the Moss Garden: one tray of White Lobelia, one tray of Blue Lobelia, one tray of Red Begonias, and two trays that did not have a name of the variety of flower.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 9
You Are The Holy One
I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness which is divine Love.
Sometimes it may seem that troubles surround you, that your easy path seems hedged in at every turn and filled with boulders difficult to climb over and impossible to remove.
It may seem to you that you are then comfortless. This is not so. The Spirit of Jesus the Christ lives in the world this day, this moment, and for you. You are the holy one we have come to comfort. You are the seeking saint we hope to console. You are the doubting spirit we hope to renew.
Share your responsibilities, your troubles, and the difficulties of your path in prayer with those of us who Love you most dearly. In that sharing there shall be joy amidst hardship and strength amidst weakness.
In joy, in strength and in peace we leave you now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
