I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 14, 2009:
Question from G: I am studying the Law of One and working with the balancing exercise, which I understand to be this: When at the ending of the day or when alone, mentally examine, as with the scalpel of a surgeon, each bias which you can remember. Attempt to remember precisely the biases or qualities held by the self at any moment during the experiential space/time of the waking state. Consciously visualize, feel, and again become that bias. Slowly accentuate that bias until it fills your being. Then visualize the oppositely polarized bias. Do not create this bias mentally, but wait until this is called from within yourself by the process of natural discovery. Allow this opposite bias to fill your being until it is as accentuated as the bias you originally felt. Now visualize an image filled with both things. My question is, what is the meaning of the word “bias” as used in this meditation?
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. It is a great privilege and pleasure for us to be able to join your meditation and to share our humble thoughts with you. We greatly appreciate the privilege. It would aid us in our opinion-giving if you would be so kind, when you read or listen to these words, as to use your discrimination carefully and to sift through those thoughts which we offer, winnowing them to find the ones that are meaningful to you personally and leaving the rest behind. They might not be chaff on someone else’s grinding floor, but they are chaff on yours. So, focus only on the thoughts that resonate to you. We thank you for this consideration, for it enables us to speak more freely, not being so concerned with infringing on your free will.
This evening the question has to do with the nature of a bias as used in the Law of One sessions. To grasp fully the word as used by those of Ra, it helps to view the background or the environment of the word and of Planet Earth, and the incarnational experience of each of you on planet Earth. The undifferentiated and unpotentiated infinite Creator has no bias. There is one thing. That one thing is self-understood and self-grasped and is content. However, the infinite Creator, choosing by the first distortion of Free Will to know Itself, has created a system of densities through which all of its sparks may proceed in order to experience all that can be experienced, to satisfy all desires, and to move through all the learnings of each density. Each of you is a member of a third-density environment at this time. You enjoy its limitations and are used to following its rules. At the very heart of the nature of third density is the dynamic tension between all attributes and their opposites. It is a heavily polarized illusion.
G’s first question was: “My question is, what is the meaning of the word “bias” as used in this meditation?” Q’uo began by saying this evening the question has to do with the nature of a bias as used in the Law of One sessions, so to grasp the word as used by Ra, it helps to view the environment of the word, of Earth, and the incarnational experience of each of us on Earth because the unpotentiated infinite Creator has no bias, and there is one thing that is self-understood, and that is content, so the infinite Creator, choosing by the first distortion of Free Will to know Itself, has created a system of densities through which all of its sparks may proceed in order to experience all that can be experienced, and to move through all the learnings of each density, and each of us is a member of a third-density environment, so we enjoy its limitations and are used to following its rules, and at the heart of third density is the dynamic tension between all attributes and their opposites because it is a polarized illusion. Q’uo went on to say the male and the female, while of the same species, have differences in body and in mind, and the male and female principle may be seen literally and figuratively as the guiding totem of our experience on Earth, but Q’uo was not saying that there is a contest going on between men and women to decide which is the better sex, but they are saying that it is the bisexual nature of the species that is the kingpin of an endless list of other attributes, each of which has its opposite, so third density is full of distorted perceptions, nor would they say that this is a bad thing because it gives each seeker the fuel that it needs to press forward, so as used by Ra, “bias” can be a synonym for “distortion,” the movement away from balance into one side or another of the seesaw of dynamic opposites. On October 12, 1986, Latwii described the use of distorted perceptions:
We may suggest that when you have the ability to look upon those experiences that are a part of your history, shall we say, without a feeling of joy or sadness, you may assume that those experiences have been utilized in an efficient manner, for when there are emotional charges, shall we say, that are apparent and connected to any experience, then one may assume that there is work in that experience which one may undertake, for the emotional colorations that one feels for any thought, experience or entity are distorted perceptions that are distorted in such and such a fashion in order that an entity will be drawn into the process of balancing these perceptions so that the final product of all experience is a quiet acceptance that may in metaphysical terms be translated as unconditional Love.
In the tuning song that was played before this meditation, another very strong set of biases was discussed when the one known as Yusuf said, “Good’s going high and evil’s going down in the end.” There is a considerable mystery attached to the question what is good and what is evil. We would prefer to describe it in terms of polarity and say that there is a radiant path of service to others, and there is a magnetic path of service to self. And although it may be unfair to say that service to others goes high while service to self goes low, nevertheless it is true that the two dynamics are inevitable within third density, and indeed within the next two densities, the fourth and the fifth. This is how deeply the sense of self and other, and any number of paired dynamic opposites, can be seen.
In the Prayer of St. Francis which this instrument uses to tune before each channeling session, more dynamic opposites are offered: Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon, where there is discord, union, where there is doubt, faith, where there is darkness, light, where there is sadness, joy. Oh divine master, teach me to seek not so much to be loved as to love, to be understood as to understand, to be consoled as to console. For it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in giving that we receive and it is in dying that we rise, to larger life. And in the Lord’s Prayer with which this circle began its meditation tonight, there is the prayer to forgive others as others forgive you. All of these are examples of complementary biases.
Then Q’uo said in the tuning song that was played before this meditation, another set of biases was discussed when Yusuf Islam said, “Good’s going high, and evil’s going down in the end,” so there is a mystery attached to the question of what is good and what is evil, so Q’uo preferred to describe it in terms of polarity and say there is a radiant path of service to others, and there is a magnetic path of service to self, and although it may be unfair to say that service to others goes high while service to self goes low, it is true that the two dynamics are inevitable within third density, and within the next two densities, the fourth and the fifth, for this is how deeply the sense of self and other self, and any number of paired dynamic opposites, can be seen. Then Q’uo said in the Prayer of St. Francis which Carla uses to tune before each channeling session, more dynamic opposites are offered: “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon, where there is discord, union, where there is doubt, faith, where there is darkness, light, where there is sadness, joy. Oh divine master, teach me to seek not so much to be loved as to love, to be understood as to understand, to be consoled as to console. For it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in giving that we receive and it is in dying that we rise, to larger life.” And in the Lord’s Prayer with which this circle began its meditation tonight, there is the prayer to forgive others as others forgive you, and all of these are examples of complementary biases. On November 21, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of third density as that of dynamic opposites:
Third density, then, is built upon dynamic opposites: male and female, light and dark, radiant and magnetic, positive and negative. It is such an obvious feature of third density that one of your society’s greatest clichés is, “There are two kinds of people… “And then the person will say, “Those that do this and those that don’t do this,” or, “Those that do this and those that do that.” Those that are optimists, those that are pessimists; those that like to cook, and those that don’t. There is one after another after another way of looking at the state of humanhood and it inevitably involves the mind’s making a distinction between two ways of being.
The question had to do with performing the balancing meditation, which is recommended to be done daily. During the meditation the seeker is asked to sift back through the day, combing out those instances where the self did not remain evenhanded, placid and contented, utterly at peace and balanced, but was pulled towards imbalance in one way or another. Perhaps it is your birthday today, and consequently you have a happy bias, for you have been given cake and ice cream and something to open. That triggers emotions within you. Even though it is a positive bias, yet still it is grist for the mill for one who wishes to train the consciousness to register not only the bias of the incoming catalyst but also the corresponding and answering bias.
Q’uo continued by saying another example is the homely one of noting that Carla just took a sip of water, and the bias was her thirst, so the balancing bias was the glass of water, so we may see that to call something biased is not to disrespect it since there is nothing but bias and distortion in all of the illusions of our creation, but there is a lessening of distortion within each seeker’s inner life as we begin to see into the inevitability of bias and, without judgment, see beyond that situation to the balance that lies beyond and the eventual unification of all opposites, so when a piece of fabric is cut on the bias and sewn from the bias it has a tendency to enhance the style of a garment, and it is so with human biases since within our life there will be a continuous experience of seeing things from a particular bias, and then being able to choose to rethink and see things from the opposite bias. Q’uo continued by saying the question had to do with performing the balancing meditation, which is recommended to be done daily, and during the meditation we are asked to look back through our day, finding those times where we did not remain contented and balanced, but we were pulled towards imbalance in one way or another, so perhaps it is our birthday today, and we have a happy bias, for we have been given cake and ice cream and something to open which triggers emotions within us, and even though it is a positive bias, yet it is grist for the mill if we wish to train our consciousness to register not only the bias of the incoming catalyst but also the balancing bias. On June 28, 2002, Q’uo described how the balancing meditation is done:
We encourage, in this regard, the daily balancing of emotions. We have spoken of this often before and in this wise, we would find it particularly useful. Meditation in general is tremendously useful and inviting the silence is a way of saying inviting balance, inviting reality, inviting essence, inviting wisdom. But in a specialized meditation at the end of the day, it is very helpful to pull out all of the experiences of the day from the mental pockets in which you have quickly put them during the day and gaze at each of these emotional moments with a far more thoughtful and judicious eye. Not to judge the self, but to judge the color, the quality, the particular layer of the energy body that was seen through and, basically, to come into more and more of a familiarity with one’s own patterns and one’s own preferences.
As each preference is identified, then, the technique of the balancing meditation is to allow that first feeling, that first bias to flood the emotional self, saturating the self with that precise feeling that was felt earlier in the day. Then, when that has been emphasized and over-emphasized to the satisfaction of the self, the technique involves lifting up from that extreme and allowing the other extreme, the diametrical opposite, to fall gently into and gradually replace the original emotion. And then one encourages that distortion until it, too, is extreme, so that one would see the beauty of a particular thing and one’s rush towards it and at the same time one would be able to see the diametrically opposed lack of beauty of a particular perception or opinion or impulse, so that one may see the self as a 360 degree sphere of being that includes all biases. Once one has begun to get the hang of such a technique, one becomes gradually more comfortable with one’s biases, whether or not they seem to be fair or just within themselves.
The entity who drives a car poorly and surges into your lane on the interstate highway can trigger negative emotions; that is, emotions that have a negative vibe. They might include fear, rage, and anger. That triggering catalyst has therefore caused your energy body to narrow so that the full flow of the Creator’s prana or Light/Love is not getting through to the heart chakra. It is a totally understandable bias to have these feelings concerning the stranger who didn’t even see you, and who almost, or so it feels, took your life. As you look at these moments of being triggered away from balance you are able to effect a kind of healing of that imbalance by virtue of allowing your original emotion to intensify and then asking the dynamic opposite of those feelings to appear.
Again, neither the positive nor the negative bias is preferable, as much as it is preferable that the dynamic opposites be held within the heart and the consciousness in a balanced manner. The goal of doing these balancing exercises is not to clean up the energy body and then have it be “good to go” for the rest of one’s life. It is extremely rare that an entity on your planet in third density shall be able to achieve realization in such a way that no further thought is taken, no questions are asked, no new solutions reached. For the seeker’s understanding will exceed the narrow confines of his previous view of the world. Each of you dwells within a system of many biases. There is the sexual bias. There is the bias of personality. And the world as you experience it contains bias upon bias. How can one learn, then, in the midst of such a deeply biased environment? In actuality it is because of the opacity of the illusion and its relentless system of opposites that third density works. For third density is about making a choice, a very fundamental choice, of service to self or service to others. It is indeed desirable to increase that bias, attempting more and more to maximize service to others within your life and your thought, so that you may accelerate the rate of your own spiritual evolution.
Now Q’uo said the entity who drives a car poorly and surges into our lane on the interstate highway can trigger emotions that have a negative vibe, and they might include fear, rage, and anger, and that triggering catalyst has caused our energy body to narrow so that the full flow of the Creator’s Light/Love is not getting through to our heart chakra, so it is an understandable bias to have these feelings concerning the stranger who didn’t even see us, and who almost took our life, and as we look at these moments of being triggered away from balance that we are able to effect a healing of that imbalance by virtue of allowing our original emotion to intensify, and then asking the dynamic opposite of those feelings to appear. Now Q’uo said neither the positive nor the negative bias is preferable, as much as it is preferable that the dynamic opposites be held within our heart and our consciousness in a balanced manner since the goal of doing these balancing exercises is not to clean up the energy body and then have it be “good to go” for the rest of our life, so it is rare that we shall be able to achieve realization in such a way that no further thought is taken; no questions are asked; and no new solutions reached, for our understanding will exceed the nature of our previous view of the world, and each of us dwells within a system of biases such as the sexual bias, the bias of personality, and the world as we experience it contains bias upon bias, so how can we learn, in the midst of such a biased environment, for in actuality it is because of the thickness of the illusion and its system of opposites that third density works, for third density is about making a fundamental choice of service to self or service to others, and it is desirable to increase that bias, attempting to maximize service to others within our life so that we may accelerate the rate of our spiritual evolution. On January 14, 1996, Q’uo described the nature of the fundamental choice of third density:
Those who wish to accelerate the process of their spiritual evolution will find that they wish to make a fundamental choice. This choice is the choice of how to manifest that Love. The two paths of manifesting Love we have often called “service to others” and “service to self,” for if one looks into another’s eyes and sees the Creator, if one can gaze in the mirror and see the Creator, then to serve the self is to serve the Creator, and to serve others is to serve the Creator. We are those who have chosen the service-to-others path. This is what we know and what we share.
We encourage each to spend some time contemplating the implications of service to others and service to self, for in one path there is the giving up of the energy of the self to others. In the other path there is the attracting and magnetic pulling of others’ energies so that they may serve you. The ability to choose is the hallmark of the Creator. This Creator loves each spark that It has flung from Itself. You are loved in a way far deeper than you can imagine, and whatever path you choose, the Creator abides with you. There is no time limit upon this process of evolution, so we encourage you to rest and gain confidence, and from the practicing of that centering presence you may find at any moment the door opening to the present moment. And we are with you as you go.
We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if there is a follow-up to that query, my sister.
G: No, there is no follow-up. That was very helpful. Thank you.
We thank you, my sister. We are those of Q’uo. May we ask if there is a further query at this time.
D: Yes, Q’uo, I have a question about meditation. The other night I was meditating, and it seemed that I perceived some kind of chamber between my orange and yellow chakras, right between them. I was wondering if you could comment on this and also comment on the relationship between breathing and the energy flow through the body.
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. To respond to your first question, that of the space between the second and third chakras in your energy body, we would say that due to work which you have been doing in consciousness at this time, you are experiencing an articulation of the second and third chakras which enables the energy to move quite freely betwixt the orange-ray chakra and the yellow-ray chakra. The work done quite consciously by you, my brother, in the recent past, working with your family members, creating personal relationships from family relationships and vice versa, has stimulated both the orange-ray and the yellow-ray energy centers. The energies which you felt were those which were running freely between those two chakras. This is a positive and helpful configuration, which was brought about due to your loving concern for your family.
There are spaces between each chakra in fact, and it can sometimes become a complex and quite beautiful thing to see the play of energy between three or even four of the chakras at one time, depending upon the activity or the thought processes which are involved. You may find, my brother, as you continue your practice of meditation that there are several such potential sacs or shuttles or tunnels between energy centers, all up and down the energy system. It simply depends upon the work being asked of that energy body at any given time as to what the experience of it shall be.
We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if you would again ask your second query, my brother.
D: Could you speak on the relationship of breathing and the flow of energy through the body.
We are those of Q’uo, and are pleased to offer our humble opinions on this subject. If you think about the act of breathing, you easily realize how vital and central the automatic functions of your body are to your life. If one had to remind oneself to breathe, one would shortly die. The typical seeker may well have begun his life breathing deeply, but by adulthood it is quite common in your culture that there will not be the hard, physical activity that encourages the body to breathe deeply but rather there will be the small-muscle activity of studying, using the computer, and so forth. In the absence of a regular, daily period of strenuous work, it is quite a helpful thing to work with one’s breath. The simple act of following one’s breath is a very helpful technique to use for clearing the mind during meditation. Deep breaths are most salutary for the system. Just as the plant inhales light which it metabolizes into food, so does your energy body benefit from the deeper breathing in and out. The deeper in-breaths do indeed carry Light. And when the intention is set to breathe in prana or Light/Love, that greatly enhances the seeker’s ability to receive the food of light from the air.
The practice of various breathing techniques is well known and certainly the use of such exercises as pranayama yoga offers is recommended for those who wish to enhance their ability to move Love/light, Light/love, or prana through the physical vehicle and metaphysical vehicle. The benefits of breathing are striking for both the physical body and the metaphysical body. When the breath is deliberately deepened, the physiological changes to the physical body are excellent.
We are those of Q’uo. May we answer you further, my brother?
D: That’s great, thank you.
We are those of Q’uo, and thank you, my brother. It is a pleasure to converse with you. May we ask, then, if there is a further query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
R: Q’uo, I have a question about thoughtforms. I will start it by reading the section from The Law of One that generated this question. Don asked Ra about the reports and photographs of bell-shaped craft and contact from entities from Venus from approximately forty years ago and Ra answered by saying that:
“We are no longer of Venus. However, there are thought-forms created among your peoples from our time of walking among you. The memory and thoughtforms created, therefore, are a part of your society-memory complex.”
The discussion we had in our on-line study group was what a thought-form is, as Ra meant it. We remembered that the pyramid that Ra created was a thought-form and that Ra itself came to Earth to teach as a thought-form. And so, we thought perhaps a thought-form is something that does not have consciousness but is something that can be created by a being with consciousness. So, can you describe the thought-forms in some other way? Thank you.
Another example of thought-forms is the common phenomena concerning ghosts. When entities have left the physical vehicle with which they enjoyed an incarnation but for some reason do not wish to go on into the inner planes for the review of their incarnation and healing, that disembodied personality shell which is commonly called a ghost can linger in the physical world. Yet it is not at all physical. They may remain indefinitely, until such time as someone is able to contact those souls and lead them on to taking up their rhythm of seeking and learning through other incarnations and other choices.
R’s question was: “The discussion we had in our on-line study group was what a thought-form is, as Ra meant it. We remembered that the pyramid that Ra created was a thought-form and that Ra itself came to Earth to teach as a thought-form. And so, we thought perhaps a thought-form is something that does not have consciousness but is something that can be created by a being with consciousness. So, can you describe the thought-forms in some other way? Q’uo began by saying within third density’s space/time environment it is difficult for our mind to wrap itself around the concept that there could be entities and essences which have no physicality, but which have their own reality, and were we to look at things from the metaphysical point of view, it is the thoughts of humankind that would stand out, rather than the physical vehicles which are merely systems of nested energy shells, so a thought-form is an entity or an essence that has life independent of those who thought about that first, and the words of which we think when we think about being a loving person—beauty, truth, and honor—are thought-forms in the metaphysical realm, having a life of their own, and this is one instance of abiding thought-forms. Then Q’uo said another example of thought-forms is the common phenomenon concerning ghosts, so when entities have left the body with which they enjoyed an incarnation, but for some reason do not wish to go on into the inner planes for the review of their incarnation and healing, that disembodied personality shell which is called a ghost can linger in the physical world, but it is not physical, and they may remain indefinitely, until such time as someone is able to contact those souls and lead them on to taking up their rhythm of seeking and learning through other incarnations and other choices. In 47.13, Ra described the nature of a ghost:
Questioner: What stimulus would create what we call an earth-bound spirit or a lingering ghost?
I am Ra. The stimulus for this is the faculty of the will. If the will of yellow-ray mind/body/spirit complex 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.
We of the Confederation have only appeared in your skies as thought-forms. That is to say, there is no physicality to the seemingly very real phenomena reported as UFOs. Certainly, those of the loyal opposition, those engaged in service-to-self communication with those who would wish that communication upon your planet, have no qualms about appearing in the skies in perfectly physical form. But we have long since discovered that it is an infringement upon free will to move into your physical existence. However, the thought-form of the so-called Venusian bell craft is a form that is part of the deep mind, for your people have seen these for many millennia.
Other examples of a thought-form are the nature spirit, deva, gnome and pixie. All of those creatures are easily dismissed by an entity who wishes to measure and judge the physical creation by empirical means only. However, all of these forms of disembodied life are real, in the same way that your energy body is real. There are those who can see the pulsing colors of the energy body, and there are those who can see the fairies, gnomes and pixies. There are those who dance with the devas and nature spirits. For they have been gifted with a broader and a deeper sight then their physical eyes will allow.
Then Q’uo said we of the Confederation have only appeared in your skies as thought-forms, so there is no physicality to the seemingly real phenomena reported as UFOs, but those of the loyal opposition who are engaged in service-to-self communication with those who would wish that communication upon your planet, have no qualms about appearing in the skies in physical form, but we have discovered that it is an infringement upon free will to move into your physical existence, and the thought-form of the Venusian bell craft is a form that is part of the deep mind, for your people have seen these for many millennia.

In 7.12, Ra gave various types of UFO sightings with the last type being of the most importance:
Questioner: I am interested in the application of the Law of One as it pertains to free will and what I would call the advertising done by UFO contact with the planet. That is, the Council has allowed the quarantine to be lifted many times over the past thirty years. This seems to me to be a form of advertising for what we are doing right now, so that more people will be awakened. Am I correct?
I am Ra. It will take a certain amount of untangling of conceptualization of your mental complex to reform your query into an appropriate response. Please bear with us.
The Council of Saturn has not allowed the breaking of quarantine in the time/space continuum you mentioned. There is a certain amount of landing taking place. Some of these landings are of your people. Some are of the entities known to you as the group of Orion.
Secondly, there is permission granted, not to break quarantine by dwelling among you, but to appear in thought-form capacity for those who have eyes to see.
Thirdly, you are correct in assuming that permission was granted at the time/space in which your first nuclear device was developed and used for Confederation members to minister unto your people in such a way as to cause mystery to occur. This is what you mean by advertising and is correct.
The mystery and unknown quality of the occurrences we are allowed to offer have the hoped-for intention of making your people aware of infinite possibility. When your people grasp infinity, then, and only then, can the gateway be opened to the Law of One.
All of these are good examples of thought-forms, and we would offer one more example to indicate how the physical and the metaphysical world can cooperate and coincide. If you will think about the service in the Christian church call the Holy Eucharist, you can see the priest invoking the presence of the one infinite Creator in the person of Jesus the Christ. There is an invocation that Jesus’ very being will come into the wafer of bread and the sip of wine that each communicant shall ingest. For those who believe, it is a powerful reality that they are able to take in the very body and blood of this crucified Savior whose unconditional Love the whole world recognizes. The benefit from the ingestion of this thought-form, which is married to the wafer and to the wine, is very real and efficacious.
Earlier, the one known as R stated that all of the creation was made up of nothing but thought-forms and we find this to be a perceptive point. The original Logos, that Thought of unconditional Love, has indeed spun out the Light to manifest all that there is. Consequently, each entity is a form created by the Thought of Love, and patterned out in the ways of Love by Light. In that sense each of you is a thought-form, your physicality being less real then your essence as a spark of that Logos.
Q’uo continued by saying all of these are examples of thought-forms, and they would offer one more example to indicate how the physical and the metaphysical world can coincide, so if we will think about the service in the Christian church called the Holy Eucharist, we can see the priest invoking the presence of the one infinite Creator in the person of Jesus the Christ, and there is an invocation that Jesus’ very being will come into the wafer of bread and the sip of wine that each communicant shall ingest, so for those who believe, it is a powerful reality that we are able to take in the body and blood of this crucified Savior whose unconditional Love the whole world recognizes, and the benefit from the ingestion of this thought-form, which is married to the wafer and to the wine, is very real and efficacious. Q’uo went on to say earlier, R stated that all of the creation was made up of nothing but thought-forms, and we find this to be a perceptive point because the original Logos, that Thought of unconditional Love, has spun out the Light to manifest all that there is, so each of us is a form created by the Thought of Love, and patterned out in the ways of Love by Light, and in that sense each of us is a thought-form, our physicality being less real then our essence as a spark of that Logos. On September 23, 2023, Q’uo described the basic nature of a thought-form:
As one enters into the meditative state, one has the ability to create a thought that one wishes to share with another in a loving manner, thusly drawing upon the energy of Love and the Light of One Infinite Creator that dwells within each entity. Thus, when the thought of Love and support is created within the meditative state, it takes advantage of this Love that has created the universe and forms It into an image that maybe sent through the limitless distance of time and space to any being that it has desired receive it.
This thought-form, then, can be perceived by the recipient as a kind of loving embrace and vivification of the spiritual nature of creation. The recipient, then, with this feeling of support and Love may feel this within every cell of the body of the being so that it is enhanced and enriched in a manner that is desired by the Creator of the thought-form, for you are the Creator of the thought-form as the Creator is the Creator of you, as a thought form—with more tangible effect, shall we say, within the third-density illusion.
We are those of Q’uo. May we answer you further, my brother?
R: Yes, Q’uo, I have one follow-up question. Thank you for speaking to the subject. The follow-up is this. Seekers who are conscious of their progress sometimes categorize their thoughts as positive or negative. I wanted to ask what suggestions or principles you would offer to those who are conscious seekers on the path of service to others when it comes to thought-forms created in the daily round of activities? What suggestions would you offer in terms of balance, or perhaps bringing more love into the seeking and existence?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The balancing exercises about which the one known as G was asking earlier have as their object the bringing back into balance of the unsettled and uncontrolled mind and emotions. And certainly, the persistent use of the technique of thinking through the actions of the day and being willing to spend the time to balance out all perceived distortions and bias is an excellent one for creating the personal space in which you dwell. There is often the unspoken assumption that life is what happens to you. In such a scheme, however, the seeker is a victim. This does not match our perception of you. This instrument was speaking yesterday afternoon to a client who wished to understand how he could create of his life a more sacred thing, and this instrument shared with that client her perception, with which we agree, that the seeker shapes his life not in terms of what happens to him but in terms of how he responds to what happens to him.
We do not quibble with the fact that many things occur which would not be preferred in everyone’s life. However, the mind or consciousness of man is a powerful thing. You each have great power built into your being. You have the ability to say yes or no to each and every stimulus that comes your way. We realize that we speak in clichés when we say that you create your life. It is a staple of what this instrument would call New Age thinking that your life is chosen by you and can be shaped by you, by your desires and your will. However, it is quite literally true, as far as we know, that each of you does indeed have the capacity to create the life which you prefer. This is a large task with most entities who are attempting to create a positive environment for their soul’s growth. The choice remains with each seeker as to how he wishes to shape his inner environment.
R’s second question was: “I wanted to ask what suggestions or principles you would offer to those who are conscious seekers on the path of service to others when it comes to thought-forms created in the daily round of activities? What suggestions would you offer in terms of balance, or perhaps bringing more love into the seeking and existence?” Q’uo began by saying the balancing exercises about which G was asking earlier have as their object the bringing back into balance the uncontrolled mind and emotions, and the use of the technique of thinking through the actions of the day and being willing to spend the time to balance out all perceived distortions is an excellent one for creating the personal space in which we dwell, and there is the unspoken assumption that life is what happens to us, but in such a scheme the seeker is a victim, but this does not match Q’uo’s perception of us, so Carla was speaking yesterday afternoon to a client who wished to understand how he could create of his life a more sacred thing, and she shared with that client her perception that the seeker shapes his life not in terms of what happens to him but in terms of how he responds to what happens to him. Now Q’uo said they do not quibble with the fact that things occur which would not be preferred in everyone’s life, but our consciousness is a powerful thing because we have power built into our being, and we have the ability to say yes or no to every stimulus that comes our way, so Q’uo realized that they speak in clichés when they say that we create our life, and it is a staple of what Carla would call New Age thinking that our life is chosen by us and can be shaped by our will, yet it is true that each of us does have the capacity to create the life which we prefer, and this is a large task with most entities who are attempting to create a positive environment for their soul’s growth, so the choice remains with each of us as to how we wish to shape our inner environment. On February 13, 2010, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our consciousness:
Consciousness is that field, shall we say, which carries the one original Thought of Love. Our consciousness and your consciousness are one. From that field of consciousness, each of those within this room, every particle and iota of matter, as you call it in your universe, every mote of Light, carries the same consciousness. It is as though you were an infinite, intricate, mysterious puzzle. We give this instrument the vision of putting together a jig-saw puzzle, yet this puzzle is infinite. However, you fit in just a certain way into the integrity and wholeness of the one infinite Creator and into the one creation.
One large difficulty in shaping a positive environment is the lingering of voices from early childhood and even early adulthood which were negative voices, voices that informed the young and defenseless being that he or she was not smart, not pretty, not able to get ahead, not worthy, and so forth. Left untended, those voices can persist throughout a lifetime. The insidious thing about such voices is that many seekers have internalized the voices so that they do not recognize that these are not voices from within. These are voices of the pain and the wounding of old memory. It is very helpful, when you have a thought like, “I’m stupid, I can’t do it,” or, “I’m not worthy,” that you find the time and the patience to correct that voice. If you hear yourself saying something like that which runs you down, step in and say that which is the deeper truth, that which is positive: “I am a child of the Creator. I am perfect. I may be a bozo, but I truly have love in my heart. It’s too bad I made that mistake. Let’s see if I can do better next time.” There are many ways to take those negative voices and turn the comment into an affirmation of your own worth and your own self-respect.
The essence of creating your own environment is respecting and honoring your ability to do so. Once the seeker grasps his ability to mine for and bring up to the surface those voices so that they can be put aside and relabeled as old memory, it is with each and every seeker a simple matter of persistence, of seeing those triggers when they occur. Hearing the negative voices and turning those voices away to replace them with the voice of your own self advocacy is immeasurable helpful.
Q’uo continued by saying one difficulty in shaping a positive environment is the lingering of voices from early childhood which were negative voices that informed our young and defenseless being that we were not smart, not pretty, and not worthy, and if left untended those voices can persist throughout our lifetime, and the insidious thing about such voices is that many of us have internalized the voices so that we do not recognize that these are voices of pain and the wounding of old memory, so it is helpful when we have a thought like, “I’m not worthy,” that we find the patience to correct that voice, and if we say something like that which runs us down, step in and say that which is the deeper truth: “I am a child of the Creator. I am perfect. I may be a bozo, but I truly have love in my heart. It’s too bad I made that mistake. Let’s see if I can do better next time.” So Q’uo said there are many ways to take those negative voices and turn the comment into an affirmation of our worth and self-respect. Q’uo completed their reply by saying the essence of creating our own environment is respecting our ability to do so, and once we grasp our ability to mine for and bring up to the surface those voices so that they can be put aside and relabeled as old memory, it is with each and every one of us a matter of seeing those triggers when they occur, so our hearing the negative voices and turning those voices away to replace them with the voice of our self-advocacy is greatly helpful. On January 29, 1989, Latwii spoke of how we need to deal with the negative voices within us:
We may recommend for those who are at the beginning of this path that the first step in such a path is not to be of service to others, but rather to know and love the self and come into communion with the self so that one becomes to oneself the individual that others are to the self, but the self seldom is. It is often the self which criticizes the self the most harshly, the self which has an internal voice which pulls and tears at one’s feeling of self-worth. These negative voices from within need to be reckoned with, need to gazed at, and brought into balance. These voices are speaking to you of pain, and the pain must be investigated and all involved forgiven.
Most of the forgiveness that is needed at the beginning of the spiritual search is the forgiveness of the self, for one forgives others far more easily than one forgives the self. It is most centrally important to forgive and love and care for the self in a nurturing manner in order that one may love one’s neighbor as oneself, as it is said in your holy work, the Bible. How can service to others be performed by those who do not love the self, for all other selves are in truth as the self? All are beloved and intimate, for all are brothers and sisters of one infinite Creator whose expression to all of us is much, much Love. This Creator is most interested in each, tastes and relishes the experiences of each, and we, in return, those countless brothers and sisters of the creation, move ever more intently toward reentering that same awareness, which is the consciousness of Love itself.
We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if there is a follow-up to that query, my brother.
R: You said earlier that thought-forms have an existence independent of their origins. Does the entity who generates the thought-form need to maintain focus or feed energy into that thought-form for the thought-form to continue? Or will it dissolve when the energy is no longer focused into it?
We are those of Q’uo, and grasp your query, my brother. Thought-forms persist because they are invested with many people’s familiarity with them. A good example would be Santa Claus. The figure of Kris Kringle or Santa Claus is clearly a thought-form. There is no real Kris Kringle, there is no real Santa Clause. Yet, when Christmastime arrives, your people experience an outpouring of love and affection and express their caring by creating food baskets and gift baskets for those families who cannot afford to have Christmas on their own. Santa Claus is alive and well in the hearts of those who wish to do good at Christmas time.
Thought-forms such as bogeymen and fearsome monsters, dragons and so forth are all those forms that persist because, over and over again, they have been envisioned as storytellers tell the stories of your race from generation to generation. Consequently, there are many very persistent thought-forms. There are also ephemeral and evanescent thought-forms that are an artifact of you as a person having a certain habit, thinking a certain thought, until it solidifies into a thought-form and can play merry havoc with your life. Fortunately, just as you develop thought-forms, so you can lay them aside.
May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.
R: No, thank you for your comments, Q’uo. We are those of Q’uo, and thank you, my brother. We find that the energy is waning in this group and in this instrument, and so we would take this opportunity to take our leave of you, thanking you once again for the pleasure of your company and the beauty of your blended auras. You are an inspiration to us. We leave you as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai.
This morning Anna, who was able to stay overnight after our channeling session yesterday, and I looked at a notebook that Carla put together years ago that showed her and Don at various ages in their life, from babies to adults, and other friends of our through the years. Then we took a walk around my yard and gardens before she had to leave early for Nashville due to heavy rain forecasts for the Nashville area today.
This afternoon I cleaned Benny’s apartment upstairs. I began by using the carpet sweeper to clean the carpet in the hall. After that, I swept up the kitty litter from the room where she stays most of the time. Then I used the dust mop to clean the hall and each of the three rooms.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 11
The Details Of Daily Life
I am of the principality of heaven and of the nature of Love. I greet you in that consciousness which is the Love of Christ.
We find within this instrument the experience of wrestling with the dark angel of desire. For as the instrument’s brighter angel desires to tend towards the living Christ, yet the busy bee mind engages wholeheartedly and insistently in wrestling the attention towards smaller and smaller details of the daily life, so that all feeling of continuity and wholeness is lost, and the earthen vessel which is the body seems in place for no reason except to attend to a myriad of details.
Yet it is truly said that great treasure may lie within and be reflected from and through just these earthen vessels. And so, the struggle is well continued.
Indeed, the simple knowledge that there is an alternative to a life without a unifying Spirit enlivens and beautifies the intentions and thus the deeper desires of the pilgrim. The Holy Spirit of the living God wishes never to intrude but to invite the strength of Love to enliven the drab details of daily life. And so shall it be done. The struggle shall give way again and again to victory.
We leave you in the peace of the spirit’s continuing struggle to seek the full consciousness of Love, for that is only the surface appearance. What one seeks, one shall surely find. Peace to you, now and ever.
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.
