I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 27, 2009:
Question from D: “I’ve been exploring dream and sleep yoga to accelerate my spiritual development. The idea of dream yoga is to be very lucid and aware within dreams. The idea of sleep yoga is the maintaining of conscious awareness throughout the night, never falling into a deep, unconscious sleep. Although I’ve only just started and I’m not very good at it yet, it has yielded good progress, primarily as a result of my regular middle-of-the-night meditations. What techniques can I apply to facilitate this practice?”
(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 evening. It is our privilege and our pleasure to be with those present and those in the extended group on the telephone. We are grateful to have been called to your circle of seeking, and we thank you for putting aside the time to seek the truth and to lay all else aside. Time is a very precious coin in your realm, and we greatly appreciate the effort involved. We are happy to speak to your question, my brother, but first, as always, we would pause to request a favor. We would ask that each who hears or reads these words place between these words and your thinking processes the powers of your discrimination. For we cannot hit the mark each and every time. Therefore, please take those thoughts that seem good and true to you and work with them, laying all others aside without a second thought. In this way we may speak without being concerned that because of overzealousness at following our words, you miss the direction of your own spiritual process. We thank you for this consideration.
Mybrother, you have embarked upon a fascinating and fruitful journey in examining your dreams and working with them in a very present and attentive manner. It is, of course, most helpful to attend to the spiritually fertile time of the night at approximately 3:30 in the morning, when the energies of the night are focused at their best. To move into meditation at that time creates an energy that is excellent in terms of creating for you a resting place of the spirit from which you may venture forth. It also connects you with those entities of the inner planes who have observed the same time of meditation and prayer, as well as linking you with all of those in this present experience which are observing that time of meditation. That is an excellent beginning.
One’s dreams are communications from those places within your consciousness which have been impressed from above—that is to say, in the daylight mind—by those things that have occurred during your day, and from below, that is to say—in the archetypical mind—by those energies, some cyclical and some anti-periodic but not random, so that they move into your preconscious state. This mixture is always an interesting one and a great deal of work is done during the so-called dream state. To become a part of that process in a conscious manner is a work requiring the setting of a firm intention and then the willingness to undergo a good bit of repetition as you attempt to become conscious within the dream state without waking yourself up.

On February 20, 2000, Q’uo spoke of one of the basic uses of the dream state:
The experiences of which you speak are the natural function of the subconscious mind as it is working in tandem with the conscious experience due to the intense desire upon your part to know the appropriate steps to take in matters that are of importance to you in relationship with others. When the conscious mind has long sought a direction in which to move and has with an open heart found a kind of vulnerability, shall we say, then the subconscious mind moves through this desire and vulnerability and offers to the conscious mind the images and clues of the dream state. In this state there is the ability to impress upon the conscious mind a tendency, a direction, in which one may appropriately move one’s being. We recommend that this dialogue with your subconscious mind be attended to so that the conversation might be attended to.
There are two fairly mechanical details which may aid in your attempts to become conscious within dreaming or, as this instrument would say, to become a lucid dreamer. The first is to become aware that you are asleep and dreaming and then, without disturbing your dream, to move your hand, your head, or your eye, within the dream, so that the entity that you are within the dream is connected to your will. This is a delicate matter, for you do not wish to disturb the tenor of the story that is unfolding within your dream. You wish in no way to alter the dream, but only to become aware within the dream and to have control over your body as it appears within the dream. Needless to say, much rehearsal is usually required before this process goes smoothly.
The second practice that shall aid you in your lucid dreaming is a matter of recordkeeping. Assuming that you not only wish to be aware within your dream, but that you also wish to work with the material gathered within the dream at a later time, it is helpful to move, with as little fuss and ado as possible, to the writing instrument and the paper or to the computer. In either case, the idea is to record the experience that you have just had, not editing or choosing what to write but writing all that you can remember. Once you become used to this discipline you shall find that this can be a time-consuming process. Nevertheless, it is a helpful one.

On September 22, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of lucid dreaming:
The virtue of lucid dreaming, where one becomes aware that one is dreaming, is the same virtue of one who becomes aware within the dream of waking life that he is a true witness and that he has the capacity to form his own responses. When one is able to, say, move an arm within the dream character that represents himself, or is in some way able to enter into the dream as though it were a waking vision, that lucidity sharpens the ability to grasp and retain the infinite details of the concepts which are couched within the dream.
There is a priestly responsibility that goes along with lucid dreaming. That which one is able to comprehend, one is then responsible for using. As this instrument would say, it is more important in lucid dreaming to “walk the talk” of the dream.
May we ask if there is a follow-up to this query? We are those of Q’uo.
Jim: D says: “On a few occasions I have had an experience during meditation that I call ‘crossing the threshold.’ There’s a distinct transition sensation. My breathing slows down considerably, and my mind is very still. From this state I seem to be able to predict events that happen the next day with great accuracy. Am I in time/space? And how can I increase the frequency of this experience of ‘crossing the threshold’?”
It is an interesting turn of mind, if you will, to find a seeker who is not greedy for detail, but has the ability to rest in essence, for it is in this state, shall we say, within the candle-flame shape just beyond the gateway, where it is possible to glimpse the possibility/probability vortices, which you are indeed doing as you pick up details of likely occurrences in the near future. In order to create a more dependable or frequent experience of this kind there are a couple of things which you may do. The first is to create a settled intention to reach this state of vibration and to remain there for a period of time/space-space/time. We say it that way because you are bridging to different kinds of time with your bodies, both your physical body and your energy body. We would encourage you to be aware, however, that it is well to be disciplined concerning the length of space/time-time which you spend in this place just beyond the threshold. For it is somewhat of a strain or source of tension for the physical body to be experiencing time/space in its flow.
D’s second question was: ““On a few occasions I have had an experience during meditation that I call ‘crossing the threshold.’ There’s a distinct transition sensation. My breathing slows down considerably, and my mind is very still. From this state I seem to be able to predict events that happen the next day with great accuracy. Am I in time/space? And how can I increase the frequency of this experience of ‘crossing the threshold’?” Q’uo began by saying they would estimate that we have moved through the gateway to intelligent infinity when we are in this state, and we have cleared our chakra body so that we may seek the truth from those intelligences which dwell in the time/space portion of this density, so they said that it is an achievement which is rare among our people to be able to move through the gateway and then to reside in the “borderland,” so that we are not bringing back through the gateway the information having to do with healing or teaching, but are resting across the quantum boundary from space/time to metaphysical time/space.

On November 21, 2005, Q’uo described the nature of the quantum boundary:
There is a mystery involved in the way densities change. That way of changing is as the movement between one quantum and another. There is not a direct movement across a quantum boundary. We show this instrument, who knows nothing of science or quantum physics, the image of the meniscus that is liquid in nature. This entity has directly experienced this liquid environment between densities. She has called it the gateway to intelligent infinity, for it is, in the terms of the Law of One material which this instrument has studied, that which she understands as being the point at which one may move from the quantum of third density to the quantum of fourth density. And she has rested there at times in those moments when she has by unconscious processes been placed in a mystical state of awareness which contains unity. In this environment this instrument becomes aware that all is well and that all will be well. She sees a perfection of the outworking of the pattern of time and space.
The other range of resources which are open to you in the matter of duplicating this experience is that range of preparation which you may find it necessary to do in order to leave every care and concern behind. This instrument calls this process “tuning.” She is always careful to tune her physical vehicle and her energy vehicle to its highest and best state before a channeling session such as this one. She thinks of it as tuning to the highest and best “station” she can pick up on her “radio.” In your case, however, you are not seeking a voice or a contact. You are seeking pure beingness. Therefore, it is well to tune yourself off of all stations and into the quiet between signals. Intellectually speaking, you cannot cause this to occur. However, when you set your intention to do this particular work of arriving at this particular state of consciousness, that within you which is far wiser than your conscious being grasps your intention and is able to use your tuned vehicle so that it will be placed as you wish it, between the sources of incoming voices.
We particularly encourage you not to attempt to reason out this process. Were you to have a long, long life and were you able to approach this spiritual seeking as though it were a scholarly discipline, you might well be able to create a rationale so that the seeking of this state of consciousness would be easier to discuss in an intellectual manner. However, since you require the pure experience and not the network of words surrounding such experience, we would recommend that you move along lines of felt and resonant insight rather than reasoning out the ways and means of achieving the repetition of this state. Let your focus be upon preparing for the experience by clearing the chakras from the lowest to the highest and then relaxing entirely into the tabernacle of your open heart.
One final recommendation would be to close such an experience by immersing yourself in water and there allowing the water to become magnetized with Love, that Love that flows into you at all time in infinite amounts. This shall restore the balance of your physical vehicle, given that there has been a dislocation because of your pursuing this particular work.

On September 4, 2010, Carla spoke of our open heart:
Because in the courtyard of our open heart we stand before the steps of the temple. In the book I likened it to standing in the Plaza San Marco in Venice. It used to be the Chapel of the Doge. It’s a huge, immense edifice with a bell tower and in front of it is this absolutely vast plaza, an open space where lots of tourists are coming and going and pigeons are there. And I’ve always thought that my distortions are as many as the pigeons. So, it’s like the task of collecting all the pigeons around the courtyard of San Marco for us to try to collect all of our wayward self.
But that’s what we have to do whenever we get to that point where we’ve done the balancing exercises and we see we’re caught up again in whatever distortion it is. We have to take that distortion and bring it to our hearts and say, “Yes, you are part of me. Yes, I love you, I accept you, I will work with you, and I ask you to serve the light within me rather than the darkness.” And I think it’s very possible to do that. I certainly have had a lot of luck asking some of the uglier parts of me to turn their attention to making me have more grit, more muscle, more perseverance and be a more sturdy and trustworthy servant of the Light.
May we ask, my brother, if there is a follow-up to this query? We are those of Q’uo.
Jim: The follow-up question is, D has had a couple of experiences lately where he’s felt a great deal of bliss and peace and he’s wondering if getting the heart chakra open is integral in having a repetition of that experience?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. It is quite so that the complete opening of the chakra body, so that full power is moving through the lower chakras and into the heart chakra, is essential for this work. There would not be any movement through the gateway to intelligent infinity in the absence of this completely open heart chakra. Thus, it is that we recommend a careful and thorough clearing of each and every issue of the day that may dog at your heels and pull you away from a completely open heart.
May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.
Jim: The third question is: “It’s my understanding that I’ve incarnated within many systems. It’s logical I’ve taken both positive and negative paths before. In fact, one of the most realistic past-life dreams I’ve ever had was one as a lizard person, and he was a pretty nasty fellow, at least from a human’s perspective. Is one’s shadow self composed of these negative incarnations? Can you effectively get a negative greeting from aspects of yourself?”
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your queries, my brother. Our response must be divided into no and yes. It is not so that the shadow side of an entity within an incarnation is made up of the previous negative incarnations, so called, of your soul stream. Rather, the shadow self is made up of those parts of the circle of beingness which you have been so far unwilling to examine closely within this incarnation. This is understandable, my brother. A service-to-others polarized seeker has no wish to examine his rapist, his murderer, his abuser, or his manipulator. He would prefer to emphasize those parts of his 360 degrees of self of which he approves.
There is a significant point to be made here, that being that it is only sophistically possible to separate the dark side of self from the light side of self. The goal of the progress through an incarnation is to lessen distortion and increase balance. Consequently, it is hoped that in the course of a lifetime of catalyst and the observation of his responses, the seeker shall have the opportunity to examine many of the shadow portions of self, so that those portions of self may be respected, honored, and redeemed to a useful and integrated portion of the self within the daylight. Flood a murderer with light and you discover tenaciousness, grit, and patience. The shadow side of self will stand ready to be your ally if you can love it, accept it, and ask it for its help. The incarnations which you have experienced besides this one certainly matter. Especially do they matter when you have carried adhering karma from one experience to another. And there are times when it is helpful to become aware of some detail of this karma that adheres.
D’s third question was: “Is one’s shadow self composed of these negative incarnations? Can you effectively get a negative greeting from aspects of yourself?” Q’uo began by saying their response must be divided into no and yes since it is not so that the shadow side of an entity within an incarnation is made up of the previous negative incarnations of their soul stream, but the shadow self is made up of those parts of the circle of beingness which they have been so far unwilling to examine closely within this incarnation, and this is understandable because a service-to-others polarized seeker has no wish to examine their rapist, their murderer, or their manipulator, so they would prefer to emphasize those parts of their 360 degrees of self of which they approve. Then Q’uo said it is hoped that in the course of a lifetime of catalyst and the observation of their responses, the seeker shall have the opportunity to examine many of the shadow portions of self, so that those portions of self may be respected and redeemed to an integrated portion of the self within the daylight, for if you flood a murderer with light you discover grit and patience, so the shadow side of self will stand ready to be your ally if you can love it and ask it for its help, so the incarnations which you have experienced besides this one matter, and they matter when you have carried adhering karma from one experience to another, and there are times when it is helpful to become aware of some detail of this karma that adheres. On March 14, 2009, Q’uo described the nature of adhering karma and how to deal with it:
All of you have considered at one time or another some situation where an entity had killed another and consequently had adhering karma from that act. There are many ways to acquire adhering karma. There is only one way to relieve karma and that is to forgive. If you feel that you have injured or harmed another, then we would encourage you to go to that person and ask for forgiveness. Then we would encourage you to go to yourself and ask for your forgiveness of yourself.
By far, the most adhering of karma is that which is self-judged. Do not fall into the trap of forgiving another but failing to forgive the self. For in a karmic transaction there are two. And the entire transaction must be forgiven before the wheel of karma can stop turning. How can you forgive yourself? It is indeed a quandary! For you, in your creation, are the judge. That which you forgive is forgiven. That which you do not forgive is unforgiven. Shall you be harsh or shall you be merciful? Have you the courage to forgive completely and start over? Can you die to old memory and awaken anew, an unblemished person? We ask that you give yourself permission to do so. In that way your life shall be sweet and there shall be no karma but only newness and the opportunity to bloom.
On the other hand, the “yes” has to do with the fact that you do indeed deal with the essential self as you experience the shadow and the light of self. Therefore, you are perfectly capable of being the source of psychic greeting within your own experience. In point of fact, it is very often the correct solution to the question of what source it is that has created a psychic greeting. When the shadow side of self is ignored and feels abandoned, it is perfectly capable of making itself known as if it were other than you and over against you. The solution to such experiences, then, is to sit with that shadow side that has seemingly attacked you and offer it your unqualified and absolute love.
Now Q’uo said we would recommend that you focus upon this this incarnation because you selected the gifts, limitations, and relationships that make up the detail and pattern within this life experience, so in no way can you consider the self you are in incarnation as the self as it experiences itself outside of incarnation because it is as if you left a home with many rooms and many possessions, and you packed a bag for a trip, and no matter how carefully you packed to come into this incarnation, you could not carry ten percent of what you would wish to bring if you were moving house, so be content with examining the contents of your suitcase, for they are plentiful enough to give you matter upon which to work for an entire incarnation, and you cannot help packing the mystery of your essential being, so there is an infinity of considerations which you may ponder as you observe yourself and get to know yourself better. Then Q’uo said the “yes” has to do with the fact that you deal with the essential self as you experience the shadow and the light of self, so you are capable of being the source of psychic greeting within your experience, and it is often the correct solution to the question what source it is that has created a psychic greeting, for when the shadow side of self is ignored, it is capable of making itself known as if it were other than you, and the solution to such experiences is to sit with that shadow side that has attacked you and offer it your and absolute love. On January 10, 2009, Q’uo described the nature of our shadow side:
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.
May we ask if there is a follow-up to this query? We are those of Q’uo.
Jim: The fourth question is: “I had a dream experience which changed my view on the ego/personality. In the dream I experienced a feeling of complete oneness with every other human on Earth. Upon return I felt that the ego/personality is, in fact, more a piece of Earth consciousness than it is of the essence/soul. The ego/personality is every bit as much a part of Gaia/Earth as the minerals that make up your nails and the oxygen in your blood. An incarnation is really a joint experience between the Gaia consciousness and the external consciousness, and it is this ego/personality with which most everyone completely identifies, but this isn’t what survives death in the same sense that the essence does. What is valid and invalid about this perception?”
As we said in a response to your previous query, the earthly personality is a much slighter and less interconnected entity than the soul stream itself, which has a size or a power that is impossible even to fathom within incarnation, including…
[Side one of tape ends.]
(Carla channeling)
…as it does, experiences in each of the densities, not only those that have come before third density but those which, from a linear point of view, come after this present density. Time in time/space is circular, if you will, or spherical, with all experiences of whatever space/time moving in radii towards the center of self. What would you do with such an awareness within this school of souls which you know as Earth, my brother? It is not useful to you. Therefore, that which you experience as yourself may be taken lightly but trustworthily as the self within incarnation.
D’s fourth question was: “An incarnation is really a joint experience between the Gaia consciousness and the external consciousness, and it is this ego/personality with which most everyone completely identifies, but this isn’t what survives death in the same sense that the essence does. What is valid and invalid about this perception?” Then Q’uo said the correct assumptions are so intermingled with misperceptions included in your sentences that we shall not be able to completely untangle them, but we shall make a start of doing so and ask your forgiveness for our lacks when we are done, so to compliment the quality of your considerations we would say that you are correct in stating that your earthly personality has little to do with your soul stream, but it is a sturdy tangent and as “all roads lead to Rome,” so all incarnations lead to the soul stream, feed it, and create fascinating issues to ponder when you are between incarnations and ready to create a new learning experience for yourself. Then Q’uo said in response to your previous query, the earthly personality is a less interconnected entity than the soul stream itself, which has a power that is impossible to fathom within incarnation, including experiences in each of the densities, not only those that have come before third density but those which, from a linear point of view, come after this density, and time in time/space is circular with all experiences of whatever space/time moving in radii towards the center of self, but what would you do with such an awareness within this school of souls which you know as Earth, my brother? It is not useful to you, so that which you experience as yourself may be taken lightly but definitely as the self within incarnation. On April 18, 2006, Q’uo described the nature of our soul stream:
Different entities will be able to bear different percentages of the full weight of the experiences that have been embraced and assimilated by the soul stream. The density and weight of such information is incredibly great. You, my brother, would find it difficult to believe the amount of information and the kind of information that you have accreted to your soul stream during the very long and busy history of your beingness. You must realize that you have existed since before the planet upon which you now draw breath was created. You are a portion of the Creator Itself. You have experienced all densities within this octave of creation. In the non-local or metaphysical sense, you are even now in all of the densities, accumulating information to yourself to offer up as a gift to the one infinite Creator. Consequently, to know even one percent of your total history would be far too much information for you to bear within incarnation.
However, much as when you arrive home after a trip, you toss the garments you have worn in the laundry and glory in your full closet, and much as you reacquaint yourself with all of the things that you so missed upon your journey, so you shall, upon entering larger life, enjoy and appreciate that sense of self that shall be yours when you once more come into awareness of your soul stream. You are also correct in positing that there is, within the very energy of your body and not simply the body itself, its blood and bones, an essence of Gaia, an essence of Earth, for just as Gaia has given you the water and the chemicals to form a physical body, just so has the energy that comes infinitely from the one infinite Creator moved first to the very center of the womb of the Earth and only thence into your energy body.
Q’uo continued by saying much as when you arrive home after a trip, as you reacquaint yourself with all of the things that you missed upon your journey, so you shall, upon entering larger life, enjoy that sense of self that shall be yours when you once more come into awareness of your soul stream, and you are also correct in saying that there is, within the energy of your body an essence of Gaia, for just as Gaia has given you the water and the chemicals to form a physical body, just so has the energy that comes infinitely from the one infinite Creator moved first to the very center of the womb of the Earth and only thence into your energy body. Q’uo completed their reply by saying you are physically and energetically a creature of Earth, and you are part of the dance of all that is upon the Earth, in the air, in the waters beneath the Earth, so to ground yourself in this awareness, it is well to spend time in nature so that you may give your system time to decompress from the hurly-burly of urban life and move once again into heightened awareness of the rhythms of the natural world, and from this discussion you may see those parts of your considerations which would not be as accurate from our point of view as those items which we have mentioned. On April 22, 1987, Laitos described the value of being in the natural world:
We are aware that for many it is most easy to worship that great Source of all that there is within the setting of the environment of the Creator, that is, the natural world—forest, stream, and meadow. To marry meditation and solitary sojourning with nature is an excellent way to allow the inner self which is in contact with the higher self to be fed from the streams of living water, as this instrument would call them, which are a profoundly accurate description of the Love which created all that there is.
May we ask, my brother, if there is at this time a follow-up?
Jim: The fifth question is: “I had a dream that explained that I was a part of one of the original ‘teams’ that adapted human DNA to life on Earth. As a result, I’m karmically obligated to experience directly the programming choices made. So, my incarnations are more spread apart over linear time, but I will keep coming back during certain time periods throughout this experiment. Would it be possible to validate or invalidate this as well as discussing anything else you deem helpful about my origins?“
We are those of Q’uo. My brother, were we to respond to this query in any of several ways, we run the risk of interfering with your free will. This is a matter that is a key you are presently attempting to fit into a lock. We encourage your seeking and encourage your consideration of this. We may say, however, that you are of the Creator; that you are a creature made of the one great original Thought. All that has occurred concerns you and all that shall occur concerns you as well. It is easy and even appropriate to play many roles in your mind and to see how these roles make you feel. However, is there truth in this or that story? This instrument would say that everyone is a legend in his own mind. What story resonates to you? What is true identity and whence does it come?
May we ask if there is a final query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
Jim: That last question is: “I’ve had two experiences in which I felt as though I was connected completely to something much deeper, possibly my higher self. Each experience was brief and happened as I was waking up. My access to information seemed massive and instantaneous. It was a feeling of complete knowing and confidence. For that brief time I was something else entirely. Is there anything you can offer me in terms of spiritual principles to help me better understand this experience?”
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. It is said in your Holy Bible that “In my father’s house are many mansions.” Each mansion is a state of consciousness, a rate of vibration or a nexus of rates of vibration in harmonic relationship. Several states of mind have been described by you during this session. What they have in common is access through the gateway to intelligent infinity. Each state, however, has a distinct environment and nature which you have noticed. This state of which you speak now could be described as “being in the Light.” Indeed, when one is in the Light of that candle flame of sacred geometry that is just through the gateway, at the tip of that geometric shape there is “being in the Light.” It differs from “being the Light” by a gradation of vibration but is similar to being the Light or experiencing the self as Light. In that Light is information, and when one is in the Light, it is patently obvious that all is well. It is clear beyond any telling that the plan of the infinite Creator is working perfectly and that all is as it should be and must be. It is indeed a rest for the weary seeker in third density to experience this fullness of Light.
The theme of your queries, my brother, has to do, we feel, with becoming more and more aware of the various environments beyond the gateway of intelligent infinity. It is as though you were a wayfarer but not a tourist. You are one who seeks experience in states of mind, but is not greedy about bringing back treasure except in terms of pure experience. We find this to be a fruitful, useful, and somewhat efficient path for one who seeks to lessen distortion within his own basic soul-stream self. We wish you every blessing and good fortune as you pursue your seeking for the love and light and the truth.
At any time that you should wish to have your meditation strengthened or lessen distraction in your contemplations, you are always welcome to request our presence mentally, in which case we shall enter into your vibratory nexus with a carrier wave that is a stabilizing vibration, not adding to or subtracting from your own vibrations but simply acting as a battery to stabilize varying surges of energy. It is our pleasure to offer this service to those who would wish it. Also, my brother, always remember that the voices of your guidance need only be asked in order to converse with you. And if you should wish to form a conversation at the intellectual, conscious level with your guidance it is entirely possible for you to sit at the computer or take pencil and paper in hand, write down your questions, and immediately write down the next thought that enters into your mind. In this way also you may deepen your understanding of yourself, who you are, and why you are here.
May we thank the one known as D for this opportunity to share our thoughts, humble as they are. May we thank the one known as D, the one known as Jim, and this instrument for creating this working and calling us to it. It has been our privilege and our pleasure to enjoy sharing your combined vibrations and dwelling with the sacred circle of seeking that you have created by your intention. Your beauty and your courage move us. We are 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. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning I went outside and cleaned the filters for the fountain on the fishpond because the fountain was barely one foot tall. Then I added a little more water to the fishpond because now the height of the fountain was beginning to splash a little water out onto the walkway around the fishpond. Then I added some Aquasafe to neutralize the chlorine in the fresh water. Then I went back into my home and arranged the chairs in the living room to be able to accommodate fifteen seekers for our public channeling meditation this afternoon.
This afternoon we had our public channeling meditation with eleven attendees and four channels. The round robin heart-sharing circle was longer than usual but well worth the time because everyone had such beautiful stories of how their spiritual journeys have expanded in different ways. During the channeling portion of our session there were questions on how to improve the use of meditation, the value of AI to spiritual seekers, the dark side of our self, balancing love and wisdom, and what Q’uo learns from us. It was an especially great session for me because it was my 78th birthday, and there were so many birthday cards and a list of loving messages from attendees and other members of our L/L community. And Trish baked me a delicious birthday cake, and everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to me!
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 10
Become Part Of Your Creation
I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the fullness of the blessing of Love.
There is so much in a day that goes unnoticed; the beautiful color of the sky and the twitter of birds. Seen from the windows of your transport, the world seems surreal and apart from you.
Let it not be that way this day for you. Enter into the majesty and glory of the creation of the Father. Raise your hands in joy to the sky. Feel the life beneath your feet. Touch the living branches of the beautiful trees. Do these things as a blessing to yourself. For this beauty was made for you, and if your eyes do not appreciate it, it must bloom unseen. Become part of your creation this day. Find the peace and the joy that leaps from every living branch.
We leave you in that peace, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation:
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.
