I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 17, 2009:
Jim: The question this evening, Q’uo, concerns how we become more a part of the life in which we find ourselves. Ra suggested that for a seeker wishing to do this there were three things that were important. One was to know the self. The second was to accept the self. And the third was to become the Creator. Could you briefly touch upon knowing ourselves and accepting ourselves in regards to how we then become the Creator? What does it mean to become the Creator?
(Carla channeling)
We are those of the principle of those known to you as Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. Thank you for calling us to your circle of seeking. It is a privilege and an honor to be called to your circle. We are glad to speak with you this evening about knowing the self, accepting the self, and becoming the Creator. And we thank the one known as Jim for that query. As always, before we begin we would ask each of you who listens to or who reads these words to use your discernment and your discrimination, taking away from those opinions that we offer those thoughts that resonate within you and leaving other thoughts behind. For, my friends, how could we hit the mark every time for each of you? It is not possible. Therefore, please use your discrimination in that which you take away. Then we shall be able to put our minds at rest concerning the issue of free will, for we would not be a stumbling block in your way. We thank you for this consideration.
Yourquestion this evening is in three parts, and we shall attempt to touch upon each of those, focusing for the larger part upon becoming the Creator. The first of the three parts is knowing the self. Certainly, my friends, it takes years to know the self because of the fact that as a very young entity within incarnation, your parents and your teachers began explaining to you the way things were, and slowly you became acculturated and full of the awareness of many things that many people had said, some of which never made any sense to you, but all of which you were expected to learn and to use as a means of oiling the social machinery of getting through life. Each of you within the circle has noticed that many are those who go through life asleep, not thinking deeply about the self or the problems of society or anything except that which is involved in keeping the self fed and sheltered, paying the bills, and enjoying leisure in the way that each person chooses. These things are enough for some, but for each within this circle they have not been enough, and you have come awake from a planetary dream.
In some ways it is very inconvenient to live life awake. It is not as comfortable as enjoying the planetary dream. However, once awake, you cannot go back to sleep. You know that the world is larger and other than you have been told and you sense that you yourself are larger and other than you have been told. And so, you wonder who you are and why you are here. And that is the beginning of your spiritual quest. At first, knowing the self is often largely a matter of finding out what you are not and allowing those things that you are not to fall away from you so that you can be yourself. As you rest within yourself and start to get to know yourself, perhaps the quickest way to discover who you are is to rest in meditation at the end of each day and to go over your day, experience by experience, emotion by emotion, catalyst by catalyst. And when you see that emotion that has pulled you off balance you look at that emotion and ask, “How did I come to feel that? What trigger is there under the surface that was triggered that caused this emotion to flare up?”
The question was Ra suggested that for a seeker wishing to do this there were three things that were important. One was to know the self. The second was to accept the self. And the third was to become the Creator. Could you briefly touch upon knowing ourselves and accepting ourselves in regards to how we then become the Creator? What does it mean to become the Creator? Q’uo began by saying our question this evening is in three parts, and they shall attempt to touch upon each of those, focusing for the larger part upon becoming the Creator, and the first of the three parts is knowing our self, and it takes years to know our self because as a young entity within incarnation, our parents and our teachers began explaining to us the way things were, and we became aware of things that many people had said, some of which never made any sense to us, but all of which we were expected to learn and to use as a means of getting through our life, and each of us has noticed that many are those who go through life asleep, not thinking about the self, or the problems of society, or anything except that which is involved in keeping the self fed, and sheltered, paying the bills, and enjoying leisure in the way that each person chooses, and these things are enough for some, but for each within this circle they have not been enough, and we have come awake from a planetary dream. Q’uo went on to say in some ways it is inconvenient to live life awake since it is not as comfortable as enjoying the planetary dream, but once awake, we cannot go back to sleep because we know that the world is other than we have been told, and we sense that we are larger and other than we have been told, so we wonder who we are and why we are here, and that is the beginning of our spiritual quest, so at first knowing our self is a matter of finding out what we are not and allowing those things that we are not to fall away so that we can be our self, and as we rest within our self and get to know our self, the quickest way to discover who we are is to rest in meditation at the end of each day and to go over our day, catalyst by catalyst, and when we see that emotion that has pulled us off balance we look at that emotion and ask, “How did I come to feel that?” On October 9, 2009, Q’uo described the nature of the planetary dream:
Those within third density on Planet Earth at this time are sometimes deeply asleep within the planetary dream. There is often in that sleep little hunger for or awareness of the nature of the mind of the one Creator. There is a comfortable numbness which has replaced whatever early yearnings there were for the truth. And in that numbness, there is a lack of sensitivity to the need for a relationship with the one infinite Creator or the thoughts of the one infinite Creator.
Lacking a direct apprehension of the Love and the Light of the One, there is a characteristic dullness of spirit. At the soul level, my brother, each of your brothers and sisters, however deeply asleep they may be, is alike a part of the Godhead principle, a part of that one Thought of Love. At heart each and every one of your brothers and sisters with whom you wish to share this awareness is a citizen of eternity.
At a level far below consciousness and waking awareness, each of these entities is fully aware that they are one with their brothers and one with the Creator. They are aware at that deep level that the nature of the mind of the Creator is that of Love. At the conscious level many of your brothers and sisters have no belief or faith in the power of Love. In itself this is not a tragedy, for all entities have control over their experience and are doing the will of the infinite One as they form desires of whatever kind and satisfy those desires. There is no time limit on spiritual evolution. Progress is inevitable. Those who do not awaken to the power of Love and begin to desire to serve the infinite One during the present cycle, which now draws to its close, shall take flesh once again upon another third-density planet and experience another great cycle of learning in third density.
And as you look at these things that have troubled you, you discover that hidden beneath your emotional reactions have been crystals of pain that have been buried. And as you move these crystals of pain up into the daylight where you can look at them, in the process of seeing this origin of pain, usually from early childhood, you begin to see how you have been wounded. And as you release this wound and forgive it, you recover a part of your whole self. As you continue in your examination, day after day and year after year, you become aware that there are things in your life that repeatedly have troubled you. And that gives you the hint as to why you are here. For each entity comes into incarnation with an incarnational plan. It is not a plan that is predestined. It is a very flexible, redundant plan.
Each of you, before incarnation, along with your guidance, got together to have a really good look at the soul stream that you are and you thought, “I would like to become more balanced. I would like the love in my heart to have more wisdom that balances it.” Or perhaps you thought, “I have been so wise, but I would like my heart to open more. I would like that balance between love and wisdom.” Or perhaps you gazed at yourself and saw that in many incarnations you had been a powerful person, and you wanted to study the right use of that power. Whatever your incarnational lesson, you can be sure of two things: it is about balance, and it is unique to you. You do not have your incarnational plan in common with others. It is unique. As you find out more about the themes of your life, the lessons that you came here to learn in this school of life, as you may call third density on Planet Earth, you begin to get a sense of who you are, who you truly are when there is no company around and there is no one to impress, even yourself. And as you empty out all that smacks of pride or pretension or a story that doesn’t fit you into which you have perhaps been trying to fit, you finally become aware of something underlying your personality. That is what we would call consciousness.
Then Q’uo said as we look at these things that have troubled us, we discover that hidden beneath our emotional reactions have been crystals of pain that have been buried, and as we move these crystals of pain into the daylight where we can look at them, in the process of seeing this origin of pain, usually from early childhood, we begin to see how we have been wounded, and as we release this wound and forgive it, we recover a part of our whole self, so as we continue in our examination over time, we become aware that there are things in our life that have troubled us, and that gives us the hint as to why we are here, for each of us comes into incarnation with an incarnational plan, but it is not a plan that is predestined since it is flexible and redundant. Then Q’uo said each of us, before incarnation, along with our guidance, got together to have a look at our soul stream that we are and we thought, “I would like to become more balanced. I would like the love in my heart to have more wisdom that balances it,” or you thought, “I have been so wise, but I would like my heart to open more. I would like that balance between love and wisdom,” or we gazed at our self and saw that in many incarnations we had been a powerful person, and we wanted to study the right use of power, and whatever our incarnational lesson, we can be sure of two things: it is about balance, and it is unique to us, and we do not have our incarnational plan in common with others, so we find out more about the lessons that we came here to learn in this school of life, in third density on Planet Earth, and we begin to get a sense of who we are when there is no one to impress, even our self, and as we empty out all pride or a story that doesn’t fit us we finally become aware of something underlying our personality, and that is what Q’uo called consciousness. On November 9, 2019, Q’uo defined consciousness:
The Law of One says simply that all things, all beings, all is One, the One Infinite Creator, Intelligent Infinity, that which is all that is. Consciousness is a portion of the One Infinite Creator that becomes enabled, or created, when the universes begin to take shape as the One Infinite Creator and through free will creates the Logos or Love, which creates Light, which then condenses into the creation that is made of consciousness.
Thus, the consciousness comes from the One Infinite Creator’s unity. As each entity perceives its own consciousness, then it discovers that it is related to all other entities through this consciousness through its various levels of consciousness within its own being that move through the roots of the tree of mind into the subconscious, into the planetary consciousness, into racial consciousness, into cosmic consciousness, into the consciousness of all that is, all that is created.
Thus, if each entity begins to examine its own consciousness, then it discovers that it is as related to the One Infinite Creator as is any other entity or any other portion of the One Infinite Creation. Thus, to know the consciousness of the self is to know, in microcosm, that which is in macrocosm. Thus, the One Infinite Creator knows itself in each iota of beingness of its creation, and each iota of beingness of the creation knows itself as the One Infinite Creator.
When the self does not feel safe or secure there is the contraction of the energy body, which lessens or sometimes cuts off completely the infinite flow of Love/Light which is in supply from the Creator in tremendous generosity. Consequently, in terms of knowing who you are, it is very well to find for yourself a haven, a safe place within yourself if not outside of yourself, a place where you may rest, and your energy body may flower, and open, and breathe in the Love/Light of the infinite Creator through the chakras, up through the heart, up through the higher chakras, and out again into the creation of the Father. The more you rest in this inner place of safety, the more you find out who you are.
Now Q’uo said we are both of this world and not of this world, so we are in a physical body, and our flesh and bones verify our being citizens of Earth, made from the dust and returning to it at some point in the future, and at the same time we are an infinite entity, so we moved into life marrying our energy body with the physical body we now enjoy, and when we drop our physical body at the end of our life we shall move onward into new experiences in our energy body, but for this lifetime we have twinned these two bodies, and they are working together to create the experience of us as a soul, but it is not just our physical body that reacts to those things that occur to us, it is also our energy body which is in a constant flux, opening and closing according to the ability of our self to feel safe. Q’uo continued by saying when we do not feel safe there is the contraction of our energy body, which lessens or cuts off the infinite flow of Love/Light of the Creator, so in terms of knowing who we are, it is very well to find a haven within our self, if not outside of our self, a place where we may rest, and our energy body may flower and breathe in the Love/Light of the infinite Creator through our chakras, up through the heart, the higher chakras, and out again into the creation of the Father, so the more we rest in this inner place of safety, the more we find out who we are. On May 10, 2008, Q’uo described the nature of our energy body:
Your energy body is the governing field of your mind, body, and spirit. It joins the physical body at some time around physical birth willingly and consciously interpenetrating the physical body that is the opportunity for a lifetime of experience within the illusion of planet Earth. Throughout your life, then, your energy body and your physical body are indistinguishable in terms of any worldly observation or scientific ability to measure the potential difference between the physical and the metaphysical.
It is the energy body that feeds the perceptions of the physical body. As the physical body, mind, and emotions gather catalyst and experience, the harvest of those thoughts and emotions moves into the energy body in an endless loop.
Your energy body is fed by the Logos. In local terms it is fed by the energy of your sun which pours its Light, its energy, and power into the Earth. Planet Earth, your Mother, receives this energy in infinite amounts and sends it from the very heart and womb of the Earth in a radiating pattern from the very core of the planet, outward in every direction, coming up through the ground so that you may absorb it with your feet as you walk upon the earth. It enters the energy body at the joining of the legs, which is the seat of the red-ray chakra, the first of the seven chakras that together comprise your energy body.
This infinite Love/Light of the Creator that streams into the red ray will, if not baffled, blocked or narrowed, move freely and powerfully into the heart, letting the heart open and bloom like a flower, thereby setting the stage for the potential for work in consciousness.
And as you do this work within yourself, as inner work, you will find the outer life laying itself out before you somewhat differently. For the more secure and serene you are in terms of who you are, the less it matters to you as to what others think of you. The less tension there is concerning relationships with others and so forth, the more you are able to focus your attention on supporting and caring for those around you in any way that is possible. So, little by little, as you come to know yourself better, as you relax around who you are and why you are here, you can begin to enjoy the classroom in this school of souls.
Naturally, any class will have occasional tests. And those are the times when difficulties occur, and you must undergo that feeling of chaos and isolation that comes when you know not what is happening or how to respond. Let those occasions teach you who you are, as you observe and cooperate with this chaos, this isolation, this dark night of the soul. Move into it as if it were a gift and give thanks for it. For such gifts come to you with great blessings in their hands. Later, as you look back on moments in your life which have been full of chaos and transformation, you see the brilliance of the plan. You see how much you learned and how much you took away, how much you gained in the gifts of the spirit.
Q’uo went on to say as we do this inner work within our self we will find the outer life laying itself out before us differently, for the more secure we are in terms of who we are, the less it matters what others think of us, and the less tension there is concerning relationships with others, so the more we are able to focus our attention on supporting those around us in any way, and as we come to know our self better, and as we relax around who we are and why we are here, we can enjoy the classroom in this school of souls. Then Q’uo said any class will have occasional tests, and those are times when difficulties occur, and we must undergo that feeling of chaos that comes when we don’t know what is happening or how to respond, so we can let those occasions teach us who we are as we observe and cooperate with this chaos of the dark night of the soul, and move into it and give thanks for it, for such gifts come to us with blessings in their hands, and as we look back on moments in our life which have been full of chaos and transformation, we see the brilliance of the plan, and we see how much we learned and how much we gained in the gifts of the spirit. On August 7, 2007, Q’uo described the function of the dark night of the soul for us:
The process which you have called The Purgative Way is intrinsic to the Light, just as the Light is intrinsic to the Dark Night of the Soul. Indeed, that process of spiritual evolution is a spiral; not simply a cycle but a spiral at which, at the same point in the spiral but higher, you enter the natural, intended, fruitful, and challenging Dark Night. And well it is called the Dark Night of the Soul, for both the Light and the dark parts of this spiral are designed to ready the spirit within to enter the gateway to intelligent infinity.
We, therefore, confirm your assumption that those who are new or feel that they are young upon the spiritual path do go through the Dark Night of the Soul. However, there are many witnesses throughout history who have written about the fact that the night will come again and again as long as you are incarnate in third density. This is not a function of punishment or judgment, but of your desire to progress spiritually.
Therefore, we ask you who are in this process of getting to know yourself to trust the process. It is not always comfortable. You did not come here actually to be comfortable. You came here to improve the balance of your personality, to improve your sturdiness as a servant of the Light. Beyond all things you came here to serve the Light. And the way that you serve the Light in this classroom of Planet Earth is to allow the Light to flow through you. So, you may think of your life, if you will, as that of an instrumentalist who is tuning her instrument so that it can be played in sweet tune and beautiful harmony.
Now what, you may ask, is the tuning? My friends, because this is the creation of the Logos, whose name is unconditional Love, you are tuning to that Logos. You are tuning to be an instrument of Love. You are unique, as we have said before, and each person takes the Light as it flows through her and allows it to shine forth as through a stained-glass window. The colors of your windows are the colors of your emotions, your thoughts, your ideals, those things that you hold dear, those things that are most deeply you. And as you see yourself as an instrument and treat yourself with enormous respect and honor, you begin to feel that you are an instrument. As the one known as Francis said, you are an instrument of His peace. You came to hold a space through which Light may flow through you and out into the world to lighten the consciousness of Planet Earth at this time. For it is a very intense time, a time of harvest, a time of transformation for your planet.
Q’uo continued by asking us, who we are in this process of getting to know our self, to trust the process since it is not always comfortable, and we did not come here to be comfortable, but we came here to improve the balance of our personality, to improve our sturdiness as a servant of the Light, and beyond all things we came here to serve the Light, and the way that we serve the Light in this classroom of Earth is to allow the Light to flow through us, so we may think of our life as that of an instrumentalist who is tuning her instrument so that it can be played in sweet tune and beautiful harmony. Now Q’uo said because this is the creation of the Logos, whose name is unconditional Love, we are tuning to that Logos to be an instrument of Love, and we are unique, so each of us takes the Light as it flows through us and allows it to shine forth as through a stained-glass window, so the colors of our windows are the colors of our emotions and our thoughts that we hold dear, and as we see our self as an instrument and treat our self with respect and honor, we begin to feel that we are an instrument, and as Francis said, we are an instrument of His peace, and we came to hold a space through which Light may flow through us and out into the world to lighten the consciousness of Earth at this time, for it is an intense time of harvest and of transformation for our planet. On September 29, 2002, Q’uo described the time of harvest on our planet:
The time of harvest is now. There are many souls who move through the doors of what you call death which move them into the light, and they remain in that Light for as long as it is possible to enjoy the Light before it becomes too glaring, too strong, and too intense. Then the step from the Light is made, and for many at this time the step is into the fourth density of compassion and understanding. The length in your measurement in terms of months or years is not that which any can accurately assess, for it is indeed a fluid process responsive to the group mind/body/spirit complexes that populate your planet at this time and the choices that are made by individuals and groups seeking to share the Light, seeking to become the Light. Thus, it is possible for a great amount of work to be done in a short period of your time due to the traumatic nature of many experiences and events taking place upon your Earth world at this time. Thus, we cannot with any certainty give you even a general idea beyond a decade or two, which we realize is not terribly specific according to your measurements of time and experience.
Naturally, you have emphasized those parts of your personality which seem good to you. Yet those sides of the personality which seem dark are just as worthy, and just as worthy of respect, shall we say. They are a part of you, and they need to be loved and honored. And this is where you come into accepting yourself. It often takes a long time to see yourself fully—the self that is the murderer, the rapist, the thief, the liar, all of those things you would never be, you would never act out. Yet you see them coming to you through the eyes, the actions, the thoughts of other people. And you say, “That couldn’t be me. That’s very disturbing.” And yet, my friends, you have those aspects within you. And they need to be acknowledged and loved and accepted. And then they need to be given orders from the daylight side, for they have their part to play in your service here.
Q’uo said we were courageous to choose to be here now and hold the Light, but we did not know before incarnation just how difficult it would be, but we are not alone because our guidance is as close to us as our breathing, and Q’uo can be called upon by mentally saying their name, and they will offer us aid in stabilizing our meditations, and it’s not that they have anything to say, but they are with us to love us and give us a feeling of safety since knowing our self builds upon our self, and when we begin to know our self, usually through the mirrors of other people and pondering what bothers us and what pleases us and taking all of those things into contemplation, we are disturbed by what we find, for we have a shadow side, so Q’uo asked us to look fully into that shadow side, knowing that since all is one we are all things, and we have a full range of selfhood. So Q’uo said we have emphasized those parts of our personality which seem good to us, yet those sides of our personality which seem dark are just as worthy of respect, for they are a part of us, and they need to be loved and honored, so this is where we come into accepting our self, and it takes a long time to see our self fully—the self that is the murderer, the rapist, the thief, the liar, all of those things we would never be, and we would never act out, yet we see them coming to us through the actions and thoughts of other people, and we say, “That couldn’t be me. That’s very disturbing.” And yet we have those aspects within us, and they need to be acknowledged and loved, and then they need to be given orders from the daylight side, for they have their part to play in our service here. On January 10, 2009, Q’uo spoke of 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.
If you take the thief, and the rapist, and the murderer, and all of those anarchic elements, what they have in common is a kind of strength that sometimes is missing from the sweeter and more angelic side. And you need to have that grit, that perseverance, that ability to be bloody-minded for the good, to hold your ground, to hold the Light and to remain yourself. Those shadow sides of personality are the elements that give you the depth of ability to stand your ground. They give teeth to your ideals. They give you a toughness that you would not otherwise have. And these are good things. Consequently, we ask you as you look at yourself, as you get to know yourself, as you find these non-integrated portions of your shadow side, and to lift them up into your arms and to love them, to cradle them to you and to say, “Come work with me for the light. Come with me into the light.”
Now we come to becoming the Creator. We said earlier that there are two parts of you, the earthly part and the eternal part. There are also two minds within you, your intellect and the consciousness which one could call the mind of the heart. Your intellect dwells in space/time, in physical reality. It is finite. It is a problem-solving computer. It does its job very well. It is unique to you and each intellect is its own beast, shall we say. It is part of you, the animal, that great ape that has stopped growing hair and started using tools. Consciousness, on the other hand, dwells in infinity and eternity. And it is common to all of you because it is the energy, the consciousness, the beingness, of the one infinite Creator. As you walk into the woods on a summer’s day, all the trappings of civilization fall apart and only the song of birds and the soughing of the wind in the leaves speaks to you. You can sink from surface intellect into consciousness, and you are one with the singing of the birds and the soughing of the wind through the leaves. The intellect stills and falls away and you rest in the mind of the infinite One.
So Q’uo said if we take the thief, the rapist, the murderer, and all of those chaotic elements, what they have in common is a kind of strength that sometimes is missing from our sweeter and more angelic side, and we need to have that grit, perseverance, and ability to hold the Light and to remain our self because those shadow sides of our personality are the elements that give us the ability to stand our ground, and they give us a toughness that we would not otherwise have, so as we get to know our self by finding these non-integrated portions of our shadow side we can lift them up into our arms and to love them and to say, “Come work with me for the light. Come with me into the light.” Then Q’uo said now they come to becoming the Creator, and they said that there are two parts of us, the earthly part and the eternal part, and there are also two minds within us, our intellect and the consciousness which could be called the mind of the heart, and our intellect dwells in space/time, and it is a problem-solving computer, so it is unique to us, and each intellect is that great ape that has stopped growing hair and started using tools, and consciousness dwells in infinity, and it is common to all of us because it is the consciousness of the one infinite Creator, so as we walk into the woods on a summer’s day, all the trappings of civilization fall apart, and only the song of birds and the sound of the wind in the leaves speaks to us, and we can sink from surface intellect into consciousness, and we are one with the singing of the birds and the sound of the wind through the leaves, and then our intellect stills and falls away and we rest in the mind of the infinite One. On March 3, 1996, Q’uo spoke of our consciousness being that of the Creator:
There are some who consider that there dwells within this level of mind that higher self or guidance which can move from the subconscious up through the threshold of consciousness into the living day of conscious mind. This is a process to be encouraged. Further, there are levels of mind progressively more profound and progressively more spacious in terms of the amount of Light which illuminates and fills consciousness. These levels are of the lower subconscious and contain that racial history which is the consciousness of the second-density physical vehicle which supports and carries your consciousness. There are inner guides within these darker and more obscure levels of consciousness. There in the deep portions of mind exist the mind of the archetypes, and, indeed, ultimately the ground of consciousness becomes that which is, and that which is is the Creator Itself.
The song of the infinite One is a song of Love. And you find that your breathing in is a breathing in of Love, and your breathing out is the answering of Love to Love. And you are part of the dance of all that is. You may do this in your chair if you cannot walk in the woods. You may do this in a church, or a temple, or an ashram. You may do this, indeed, anywhere, for you are every bit as much consciousness as you are intellect. You are every bit as much the eternal soul as you are a child of dust. Becoming the Creator is a process of allowing consciousness to supplant the intellect. You can be nothing else but the Creator. That is a given, although you cannot prove this. You can only know it by faith. Faith and unknowing alone will tell you that you are a spark of the Creator, a holograph, in a way, of the Godhead principle, shall we say.
Now Q’uo said the song of the infinite One is a song of Love, and we find that our breathing in is a breathing in of Love, and our breathing out is the answering of Love to Love, so we are part of the dance of all that is, and we may do this in our chair if we cannot walk in the woods, or we may do this in a church, or a temple, or an ashram, or anywhere, for we are as much consciousness as we are intellect, and we are as much an eternal soul as we are a child of dust, so becoming the Creator is a process of allowing consciousness to replace our intellect, so we can be nothing else but the Creator, but we cannot prove this since only faith will tell us that we are a spark of the Creator. Q’uo went on to say our deepest self vibrates in unconditional Love as part of the Creator, so becoming the Creator is a matter of allowing this deeply loving consciousness to become a greater part of our everyday beingness, so the “I” of us will become more deeply and truly the “I” that is us as we enter more into the awareness of consciousness, where the “I” is an “I” that is one with Christ, one with unconditional Love, and It is not that we become unconditional Love, for we have been unconditional Love the whole time, so it is that we find ways to allow consciousness to grow in us as we come to know our self and accept our self just the way we are. On March 30, 2005, Q’uo described the nature of unconditional Love:
Perhaps our first thought is simply to say that when this instrument challenges spirits she does so in the name of Jesus the Christ, and we come to her on that vibration. It is a vibration of unconditional Love, and further it is an unconditional Love that is willing to lift away from all concerns of self or the cost to the self of service to others, with the only goal being that of sharing in a wholehearted and complete way, insofar as we are able, the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator as expressed through the unconditional Love of Jesus the Christ. This is clearly a vibration which is other than that vibration which is spoken of in the body of work which you know of as the New Testament.
You see, there is a part of the intellect that fears extinction. And it fears that if the consciousness of Love, which is impersonal, becomes more and more a part of your personality, you shall lose your individuality. My friends, nothing could be less true. It is only as you begin to become aware of the deepest part of yourself, that part that is a servant of the Light, that you find yourself breathing more freely and being able to do those things that you do in the world with a fresh eagerness and an appetite for more. For life becomes sweet and beautiful, and adventurous when you are that entity who awakens to a new day with the awareness of eternity as well as the world of finite things. It is a long journey. It is a journey which will close as you close your earthly eyes for the last time. It is a long game, a game which has a simple strategy: know the self, accept the self, become the Creator. As you discover the deeper parts of yourself, the Creator-self, you will find that your eyes are opened to find the good and the Love and the peace that is possible in all situations. You will find yourself becoming sturdier, more stable, more unfazed by the world of ten thousand things, as this instrument would say.
Settle in for that long walk. It is a beautiful walk, my friends. It is one with a good ending, and in reference to life as a game, it is a game that you can win. You have only to love and to allow yourself to be loved in return. For, my friends, the Creator Loves you more than you can possibly imagine. You are surrounded with Love. There is a web of Love around you that is partially angelic and partially that of your guidance, which you could call your higher self, that highest and best self that is a gift to you from yourself in sixth density. Rest in the web of love that surrounds you and be infinitely curious as you witness this life. You came here to create according to your desires that which you wished. Therefore, shape your desires to match your deepest self, and the deepest desires of which you are aware. And seek always to go deeper, to learn more and to become freed to be attentive to the present moment. For the present moment is that marvelous point of connection between eternity and the physical illusion. It is in the very present moment, as you apprehend it, that awareness can expand, that the answers can be found, that the door can be opened when you knock. Thusly, attempt to stay, as the one known as B said, in the present. There is the paydirt. There is that which you seek. There is the service and there is the learning. And let your knowledge of yourself and your acceptance of yourself grow organically as does your path of service.
Now, some came to this place strictly to be, to be a space which was capable of transmuting infinite Light into that energy which blesses your physical planet. Others came not only to serve as holders of the space through which light can flow but also to offer outer services. There is no difference in the value of inner service and outer service. Thusly, we wish to assure each of you that, whether or not you are presently involved in an outer service, you are serving as you came to serve. You are on task. You are on mission, and all is well. Let yourself become. That is the secret. Do not reach, do not push, but set your intention to know and to serve every day and let that intention arrange for you that which you need for today in order to progress.
Now Q’uo said there is a part of our intellect that fears extinction, and it fears that if the consciousness of Love, which is impersonal, becomes more a part of our personality, we shall lose our individuality, but nothing could be less true because it is as we begin to become aware of the deepest part of our self, that part that is a servant of the Light, that we find our self breathing more freely and being able to do those things that we do in the world with an eagerness and an appetite for more, for life becomes beautiful and adventurous when we are that entity who awakens to a new day with the awareness of eternity as well as the world of finite things, so it is a long journey, and a journey which will close as we close our eyes for the last time after our game is over which had the strategy to know our self, accept our self, and become the Creator, so as we discover the deeper parts of our self, the Creator-self, we will find that our eyes are opened to find the good, the Love, and the peace that is possible in all situations, and we will find our self becoming more stable and more unfazed by the world of ten thousand things. Then Q’uo said settle in for that long walk since in reference to life as a game, it is a game that we can win, so we have only to love and to allow our self to be loved in return, for the Creator Loves us more than we can imagine, and there is a web of Love around us that is partially angelic and partially of our guidance, which we could call our higher self that is a gift to us from our self in sixth density, so rest in the web of Love that surrounds us, and be curious as we witness this life because we came here to create according to our desires that which we wished, so we must shape our desires to match our deepest self, and seek to go deeper, to learn more, and to become freed to be attentive to the present moment, for the present moment is that point of connection between eternity and the physical illusion, and it is in the very present moment that our awareness can expand, that answers can be found, that the door can be opened when we knock, so attempt to stay in the present, for there is the service and there is the learning which we seek, and let our knowledge of our self and acceptance of our self grow organically as does our path of service. Q’uo continued by saying some came to this place strictly to be a space which was capable of transmuting infinite Light into that energy which blesses our physical planet, and others came not only to serve as holders of the space through which Light can flow but also to offer outer services, so there is no difference in the value of inner service and outer service, so whether or not we are involved in an outer service, we are serving as we came to serve, and all is well, so the secret is to let our self to become, but do not reach, and set our intention to know and to serve every day, and let that intention arrange for us that which we need for today in order to progress. On December 19, 2002, Q’uo spoke of the nature of inner service:
The service of the inner type, as each in this group is aware, is the more central service, since it works upon the soul of the planet, the soul of the entity, and the soul of the group entity that is the self and those other selves that are even now becoming more and more able to form the basic structure of trust and sharing that is the foundation for fourth-density shared memory. Although the inner service is the central service, it is often the least easy to accomplish because of its very simplicity and its nature of being essence rather than form. Consequently, it is often the more efficient route to rest within one’s outer gifts while one is becoming more aware of the beauty of the inner self.
We would at this time ask if there is a follow-up to this query before we take other questions. We are those of Q’uo.
[Long pause.]
We are those of Q’uo, and the resounding silence would suggest to us that there is no follow-up to the main question this evening. Consequently, we would ask if there is another query in the circle at this time. We are those of Q’uo.
L: I have a question.
We are those of Q’uo, and would be glad to hear your question, my sister.
L: Am I suffering from demonic possession?
We are those of Q’uo, and have not heard a question precisely but perhaps you wish us to speak on this subject?
L: Yes.

(Carla channeling)
When this has occurred suddenly and traumatically, as with the ingestion of an overdose of a drug or as in instances that are not so easily explained, this creates a hole in the aura, an unintended and unasked-for portal through which entities have access to your energy body. We are simplifying and generalizing in order to speak upon the subject in a simple way.
However this has occurred, and wherever in the energy body it has occurred, there is no medicament in the pharmacopoeia of your doctors that will enable you to close that portal. Therefore, we would encourage one who is experiencing the phenomenon of unwanted entry through portals of entities which are unwelcome, to seek the aid of those healers who work with energy rather than the physical body. The entity who has had such holes in the aura can do a great deal to mend that hole or holes by means of adopting that way of living which focuses upon that which is loved, that which is held dear, and setting the intention each and every day to be true to that which is good, and beautiful, and true. Such thoughts are like thread with which you are weaving, from side to side and from top to bottom, in this hole in the aura.
Thoughts in the world of the metaphysical are things. Thusly, in firm intention each day, visualize with angelic help that you are “darning the sock” of your energy body, as it were, darning that hole with a thread of gold, a thread of silver, all the precious things moving from side to side and weaving from top to bottom again and again affirming the good, the true, and the beautiful. It may take time, my sister, but there is healing in thought and that is one thing over which you have control. Many injurious thoughts may rage against the good, the true, and the beautiful, but it does not stop them from being the good, the true, and the beautiful. Mud and stones can be thrown at sunshine, but it does not stop the sun from shining, nor does it stop the true from being true and the beautiful from being beautiful and the good from being good.
L’s question was: “Am I suffering from demonic possession?” Q’uo said it is a crowded universe, as you well know because most entities have a natural protection against infringement by outside entities due to the fact that they are soundly asleep within the dream of earthly life and do not have the sensitivity to be aware of other entities, so when an entity is able to open their awareness and increases sensitivity in a carefully controlled atmosphere it can be very helpful to make the acquaintance of entities which come from elsewhere, for they have had the opportunity to develop what Carla would call the tuning in order to call to the self those entities which are congruent in vibration with the self, and there are instances when a person’s energy body is overmastered by an energy which is more powerful than the system can bear, and it is as if the energy body were an electrical system, and a surge has come through the system and blown out one or another of the chakras, so when this has occurred suddenly as with the ingestion of an overdose of a drug or as in instances that are not so easily explained, this creates a hole in the aura, an unintended portal through which entities have access to your energy body. Q’uo went on to say that however this has occurred, and wherever in the energy body it has occurred, there is no medicine prescribed by your doctors that will enable you to close that portal, so we would encourage one who is experiencing the phenomenon of unwanted entry through portals of entities which are unwelcome, to seek the aid of those healers who work with energy rather than the physical body since the entity who has had such holes in the aura can do a great deal to mend that hole or holes by means of adopting that way of living which focuses upon that which is loved, that which is held dear, and setting the intention every day to be true to that which is beautiful and true, for such thoughts are like thread with which you are weaving, from side to side and from top to bottom, in this hole in the aura. Now Q’uo said thoughts in the world of the metaphysical are things, so in firm intention each day, visualize with angelic help that you are “darning the sock” of your energy body, darning that hole with a thread of gold, a thread of silver, all the precious things moving from side to side and weaving from top to bottom again and again affirming the good, the true, and the beautiful, and it may take time, but there is healing in thought, and that is one thing over which you have control, and many injurious thoughts may rage against the good, the true, and the beautiful, but it does not stop them from being the good, the true, and the beautiful, so mud and stones can be thrown at sunshine, but it does not stop the sun from shining, nor does it stop the true from being true and the beautiful from being beautiful and the good from being good. On April 21, 2002, Q’uo said that in the metaphysical world thoughts are things:
It is such exercise of faith and will that makes you stronger as metaphysical beings. It is your intentions, your desires, that have strength, that have power, in the spiritual world, for there thoughts are things, and it is by the way you think, the attitude that is your fingerprint in the metaphysical sense that you are able to do work in consciousness, that you are able to change consciousness in the magical sense, that you are able to access deeper portions of the subconscious mind and to bring them forth into consciousness that they there might find a room and a reach into which they might have effect in your daily life. And that, indeed, you begin to change yourself as you continue this journey, a continual movement from one image of yourself to another so that you are a new and risen being moving into the fourth density of love and compassion.
May we answer you further, my sister? We are those of Q’uo.
L: Thank you, thank you.
We thank you, my sister. May we ask if there is a final query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
[Long pause.]
My friends, we find that the silence speaks for itself. We have exhausted the queries in this circle at this time, at least those that are upon your lips, not those upon your hearts, but we would not infringe upon those unasked questions which you carry with you. It is such a privilege to have been with you tonight. We are in awe at the beauty of your shared vibrations and at the sacred space that you have built together, a temple of Light far above this dwelling which to angelic eyes is most beautiful. Thank you for seeking the truth. Thank you for calling us to share our humble hearts with you. We leave you, as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends, Adonai vasu.
This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the gardens around the fishpond, the area between the fishpond and the pet cemetery, and the pet cemetery. Then I used the backpack blower to clean the walkway around the fishpond.
This afternoon I went back outside and used the trimmer to trim the weeds in the side yard between the garage and my home, the Wuthering Heights Garden in the front yard, and the Flower Fall Gardens on the other side of the front yard. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the front porch and the sidewalks in the front yard clean.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 24
Peace, Be Still
I am the principle of infinite compassion which is the Love of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in this Love.
So many doubts assail your minds; so many self-destructive thoughts; so many stumbling blocks which each seeker puts in its own way through doubt. Let us speak to you of faith.
In all of the ways of existence there are those things which one may question. Yet, undergirding all that there is, is a mysterious splendor of that which was created by Love.
The attitude of faith asks no words, brooks no sentiments, and discusses no implications. Faith is that abiding belief that a kindly Creator has a will for each to learn and to grow spiritually and to be of service to others.
Many situations seem quite devoid of that opportunity. Do not be fooled. When you can, show faith. When you can gaze upon the stormy waters and say, “Peace, be still,” within yourself, then you have not dogma or doctrine but a solid rock upon which to stand and the overreaching arms of the Father to protect you, comfort you, and hold you as you walk the steps of the seeker.
We leave you in the peace and joy of that mysterious journey, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at 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.
