I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 23, 2010:
Jim: The question this week, Q’uo, is from M: “I understand that, according to Ra, when the third-density experience of an entity has ended, the soul distills the essence of that experience and nothing of value is lost. However, I’m wondering whether the personality has any value to the soul. I find the idea of the personality being lost discomforting. I understand that my soul will prevail but what about ‘me’? I mean the ‘me’ that I identify with now. If my personality is lost, isn’t that the same as ‘me’ ceasing to exist? And, in addition, isn’t my soul’s identity also lost when it joins a social memory complex? And isn’t the social memory complex’s identity lost when it merges back to the Creator? Can Q’uo please comment?”
(Carla channeling)
We are known to you as those of the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. We thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to seek the truth and to ask for our presence, and we are delighted to speak with you concerning the question of the one known as M concerning the personality and various details of that particular cosmological aspect of what we understand to be the way things are.
But first, as always, we would ask that each of you listen carefully to that which we have to say, with an eye to following the path of your own subjective resonance. If our thoughts seem resonant to you, then by all means use them. If they do not seem particularly telling, then please leave them behind, for we would not wish to interfere with your free will or to interrupt the rhythm of your process of seeking. We thank you for doing us this favor. Your discernment and your discrimination are very solid for you and may not be useful for anyone but you, but for you they are those things which you may trust far more than you may trust another’s wisdom. So please believe in yourself and use your powers of discrimination, not only with our words but also with all words that you hear. With that said, we would like to move on to our thoughts concerning the personality, as you call it.
It is our understanding that each of you is part of a soul stream. You, as a soul stream, may be considered to be at the center of a three-dimensional, timeless field in which all of the incarnations which you have experienced as an individual in third density, fourth density, fifth, sixth, or seventh density resides. The fruit, the harvest, of your incarnation is gathered, thankfully and lovingly, by the soul stream and by the Creator as you experience life within an incarnation and most especially as you leave the incarnation and go through the healing process of the review of the incarnation after your physical death and before you choose your next incarnation.
Again, it is our understanding that, having been reunited with your soul stream and your higher self before you choose the manner of your next incarnation, you carefully consider what you feel may be distorted about the balance of your soul stream. Are you too heavily a creature of love? Can you keep your heart open but perhaps do not have the wisdom that you would wish that you had? Or, alternatively, are you one who is very wise but has trouble opening the heart? Or, as a third possibility, is your incarnation one which has to do with the right use of power? If so, then you may examine those patterns that repeat in your incarnation, analyzing those patterns for the possibility of an imbalance between power and love or an imbalance between power and wisdom.
M’s first question was: “I understand that, according to Ra, when the third-density experience of an entity has ended, the soul distills the essence of that experience and nothing of value is lost. However, I’m wondering whether the personality has any value to the soul. I find the idea of the personality being lost discomforting. I understand that my soul will prevail but what about ‘me’? I mean the ‘me’ that I identify with now. If my personality is lost, isn’t that the same as ‘me’ ceasing to exist?” Q’uo began by saying it was their understanding that each of us is part of a soul stream, and as a soul stream we may be considered to be at the center of a three-dimensional, timeless field in which all of the incarnations which we have experienced as an individual in third density, fourth density, fifth, sixth, or seventh density resides, so as the harvest of our incarnation is lovingly gathered by our soul stream and by the Creator as we experience life within an incarnation, and especially as we leave our incarnation and go through the healing process of the review of the incarnation after our physical death, and before we choose our next incarnation. Q’uo went on to say it was their understanding that, having been reunited with our soul stream and our higher self before we choose the manner of our next incarnation, we considered what we feel may be distorted about the balance of our soul stream, and Q’uo asked: “Are we too heavily a creature of love? Can we keep our heart open but perhaps do not have the wisdom that we would wish that we had? Or, alternatively, are we one who is very wise but has trouble opening our heart? Or, as a third possibility, is our incarnation one which has to do with the right use of power?” Then Q’uo said if so, then we may examine those patterns that repeat in our incarnation, analyzing those patterns for the possibility of an imbalance between power and love or an imbalance between power and wisdom. On June 24, 2005, Q’uo described the nature of our soul stream:
We may say in general that what you are seeing in these dark faces is portions of the incarnations of other incarnational forms of your soul stream. You have the experience of coming through all the densities up until this one. This includes the experience of being rock, sky, water, and wind. It includes the experiences of many inner-planes beingness energies which are spirits of rock, wind, and fire, and so forth. You have experienced being trees, animals, and plants. And there are energies within second-density nature, such as what this instrument would call fairies, gnomes, and trolls, for instance, where the by-play between rock and animal is expressed.
As you look into the mirror and you begin to move into the vastness of your own experience as a soul-stream, that upon which you are working within this incarnation and at this moment creates the atmosphere in which you see certain aspects that are going to be helpful to you in your process on any of a number of levels that go on infinitely in the inner planes of your experiences.
It is thoughts of this kind that cause you and your higher self to choose the next experience behind the veil of third density. You are always looking, as a soul stream, to lessen distortion and to increase the balance of your soul stream. By balance, we do not mean to imply that the goal of the soul stream is to achieve indifference or neutrality. Rather, we are suggesting that balance is that which enables the entire energy body to remain open within incarnation, so that you may more fully know who you are, you may more fully serve, and you may more fully be the essence of yourself.
That being said, what you experience as your personality is actually a kind of shell. It is a kind of clothing, mask, or costume. It is not a trick. That is to say although it is an illusion, all things are illusory to one extent or another. Your personality shell is as real as you know how to make it be. Nevertheless, what you experience as your personality shell or as some might say, the ego, is not the whole of yourself and was never intended to be a true representation of your soul stream. It is as if you chose to go on a journey, taking that which was needed for that journey—some gifts, some talents, some challenges, and limitations and a multitude of possible relationships. The older a soul that you are within one planetary influence, the more relationships that you have had in various incarnations and the more balances of energy that you have shared with those soul streams in past incarnations.
Then Q’uo said it is thoughts of this kind that cause us and our higher self to choose the next experience behind the veil of third density, so we are always looking, as a soul stream, to lessen distortion and to increase the balance of our soul stream, and by balance, Q’uo did not mean to imply that the goal of the soul stream is to achieve indifference or neutrality, but they were suggesting that balance is that which enables the energy body to remain open within incarnation, so that we may know who we are, that we may serve, and we may be the essence of yourself. Q’uo continued by saying what we experience as our personality is a kind of shell, so it is a kind of costume, but it is not a trick even though it is an illusion just as all things are illusory to some degree, our personality shell is as real as we know how to make it be, so what we experience as our personality shell is not the whole of our self and was never intended to be a true representation of our soul stream, and it is as if we chose to go on a journey, taking that which was needed for that journey: some gifts, some talents, some challenges, and limitations and a multitude of possible relationships, and the older a soul that we are within one planetary influence, the more relationships that we have had in various incarnations, and the more balances of energy that we have shared with those soul streams in past incarnations. On February 6, 2006, Q’uo described the nature of our personality shell:
We may say that there is a rough correspondence between the phrase, personality shell, and the general concept of the MBTI test. Indeed, any of your tests designed to differentiate between different types of ways that entities process information and come to decisions fulfills the rough designation of an examination of the personality shell. However, there is no more than a rough correspondence for the reason that a personality shell is the entire structure of an entity, whereas tests test certain aspects of a personality that seem to be helpful to measure.
When we use the phrase, personality shell, the attempt to measure the personality is not present in our use of that word. To us, the term, personality shell, is indicative of a loose collection of items that have been selected from the 360 degrees of your infinite or eternal soul or spirit.
You have experienced many things through many incarnations. You have gained in life experiences and in the long list of deeds well-done and those deeds which upon reflection after incarnation you have decided to revisit in future incarnations. These make up the whole of what we have before called that suitcase full of gifts and limitations which you have chosen as your garments, shall we say, for the dressing of your personality in this incarnation.
And so you have a wide variety of relationships upon which you have already worked, sometimes again and again. Naturally, you gravitate towards working with these same soul streams when you come back into incarnation because they are those with whom you have an instinctive mutual awareness. They are those with whom you have come furthest in understanding and penetrating the personality shell. They are those with whom you have done good work before. And so, you choose not only your parents and the main relationship of your life, whether it be a mate or a friend, you also set into position a good deal of redundancy so that no matter how many times you walk away from a situation that is shaped thus and so, you will find yourself coming into a relationship which carries those characteristics from which you wish to learn. We can assure you that you did not simply have it “in for yourself” as this instrument would say. You were not attempting to torture yourself with relationships that were challenging. You were looking to find the love within that relationship and to open to that. You were hoping that the catalyst received during that relationship would lead you to new realizations, new and deeper understandings, new insights.
Therefore, from the standpoint of an incarnation, the personality is very important. It is your handpicked choice of your talents, your limitations, and those relationships you hold dear, and it is designed to function well to place you in the fire of catalyst. You will recall the biblical story of the children in the middle of the fire who were not burned. The fire of incarnation is just such a fire. It is not intended to consume and destroy you. It is intended to refine you; to help you with the process of removing the slag from your ore and mining the gold and precious jewels that are within you. It is intended to create of you an instrument that is flexible, and tempered, and strong; light yet sturdy. You are hoping with each incarnation that you undertake to serve and to learn and the personality shell that you know of as yourself is your single, most important resource. Therefore, simply because your personality shell is at one level an illusion, and at best a very incomplete effigy of that which you really are in your soul stream, it sustains you, it gives you continuity, it gives you a way to manage your nature.
Now Q’uo said we have a variety of relationships upon which we have already worked, sometimes again and again, so we gravitate towards working with these same soul streams when we come back into incarnation because they are those with whom we have an instinctive mutual awareness, and they are those with whom we have come furthest in understanding and penetrating our personality shell, so we choose not only our parents and the main relationship of our life, whether it be a mate or a friend, we also set into position much redundancy, so that no matter how many times we walk away from a situation that is shaped thus and so, we will find our self coming into a relationship which carries those characteristics from which we wish to learn, so Q’uo assured us that we did not have it “in for our self” as Carla would say, and we were not attempting to torture our self with relationships that were challenging because we were looking to find the love within that relationship, and we were hoping that the catalyst received during that relationship would lead us to new realizations and deeper understandings. Q’uo went on to say from the standpoint of an incarnation, our personality is important since it is our choice of our talents, our limitations, and those relationships we hold dear, and it is designed to function well to place us in the fire of catalyst, and we will recall the biblical story of the children in the middle of the fire who were not burned, so the fire of incarnation is such a fire, and it is not intended to destroy us, but it is intended to refine us, to help us with the process of removing the waste from our ore and mining the gold that is within us, and it is intended to create of us an instrument that is flexible, light, yet sturdy, so we are hoping with each incarnation that we undertake to serve and to learn, and the personality shell that we know of as our self is our most important resource, so because our personality shell is at one level an illusion it sustains us, and it gives us continuity and a way to manage our nature. On November 8, 2008, Q’uo described the fire of our catalyst:
In the same basic way you are the Creator; Light from Light and Love from Love. And you shall, in the fullness of time and space, return to the Light and the Love that formed you.
For this tiny iota of time and space you have gathered your suitcase full of personality and have launched yourself into incarnation on Planet Earth with your agenda, your gifts, your limitations, and your relationships. You have come to challenge yourself and to be tempered in the fire of catalyst, to bathe in the waters of unknowing and to experience the self, its desires, its will, and its faculties of faith and desire.
Let us look at this concept of one’s human nature. Many aspects of human nature are common to all: male, female, old, young, it doesn’t matter. Others are unique to you and your soul stream, and you will find, as you work within yourself, asking yourself who you are and why you are here, that these questions encourage that which the one known as Jim was talking about, that process of change. For each time that you ask who you are and why you are here, you clear the surface personality and hope to go deeper than that surface. You hope to know more than simply how you did on an I.Q. test or on a Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory, or any other test that purports to explain you to yourself. You’re hoping to get from the surface, with its quirks and its oddities of personality, closer and closer to that common nature which all created things have in common. And that is the Logos, the great original Thought of Love that is the Creator.
Each of you are part of that Creator and the deepest portion of you that there is is made entirely of Love. It is a Love that waits for you beyond the reaches of personality. It is a consciousness that resides within you, but which is entirely silent. It is almost as though you had within you the character of the Sleeping Beauty that is awakened by the kiss of the Prince. Your inner nature can sleep for a hundred years, or you can kiss it awake at any time by paying attention to that inner nature, by seeking it and wooing it as you would a maiden. And when you penetrate into your own open heart, and you experience the Love of the Creator that lies therein, it is indeed the Balm of Gilead. It is a healing, strengthening presence, one that it is possible to experience and that it is very helpful to experience.
Q’uo went on to say let us look at this concept of one’s human nature, and many aspects of human nature are common to all: male, female, old, young, and others that are unique to us and our soul stream, and we will find, as we work within our self, asking our self who we are and why we are here, so these questions encourage that which Jim was talking about, that process of change, for each time that we ask who we are and why we are here, we clear the surface personality and hope to go deeper than that surface, and we hope to know more than how we did on an I.Q. test or any other test that claims to explain us to our self, so we are hoping to get from the surface, with its oddities of personality, closer to that common nature which all created things have in common, and that is the Logos, the great original Thought of Love that is the Creator. Now Q’uo said each of us is part of that Creator, and the deepest portion of us that there is is made entirely of Love, and It is a Love that waits for us beyond the reaches of personality, and It is a consciousness that resides within us, but which is silent, so it is as though we had within us the character of the Sleeping Beauty that is awakened by the kiss of the Prince, and our inner nature can sleep for a hundred years, or we can kiss it awake at any time by paying attention to that inner nature, by seeking it and wooing it as we would a maiden, so when we penetrate into our open heart, and we experience the Love of the Creator that lies therein, it is the Balm of Gilead, and it is a healing presence, one that it is possible to experience that it is helpful to experience. On June 3, 1990, Q’uo described our surface personality and its purpose:
The mundane illusion of everyday works well to instill in one a sense of less than full self-worth. It often seems to bring out in each personality the less attractive portions of each entity’s surface being. This is why you are here; this is your classroom. You are here to penetrate the illusion of catalyst, to see deeper and deeper into the present moment until the basic nature of the self is more and more apparent. Meanwhile, the surface personality rages, and whines, and cries, and grieves, and laughs, and plays its many roles upon the stage of the illusion.
You must feel free to express to yourself to the fullest all emotion, no matter how hateful, or seemingly harmful, or subjectively not approved, for it is in expressing the self fully and then taking the self in its own arms, into its own heart, and loving, and being loved by this child that you are, consciously, that your spiritual evolution depends. Never, ever, try to repress or deny negative feelings, but open your heart to them. They are yours to love and comfort, for you are children of the illusion, and only imperishable and immature beings as metaphysical beings. You are not upon this planet at this time because you have achieved maturity. Had you achieved such a thing you would have no need to choose to love and to heal.
When you have moved through the gateway to larger life, you, as a soul stream, become aware again of the entire soul stream. Your awareness opens up and expands and as a natural concomitant of that the personality shell drops away. The closest that entities have of knowing that they shall, in their personality shells, move into people’s memory, is either in their being known as an author, an actress, or an artist is known by those who admire their work, or by leaving behind your children, who remember you just as your personality shell was reflected to them. It is, in most cases, a fairly limited period during which you, as a personality, remain known and remembered, and we feel sure that this is not a satisfactory response to your question, for you would like to know that your life has made a difference, that who you are matters. And yet, my sister, would you care to save all of the details of each and every moment of your life? You are still among the living, and yet you have filed many things away under the category of “golden memories.” If there were difficulties, you tend to leave them in obscurity while your favorite positive memories are taken out and polished up and perhaps even embroidered upon.
Memory becomes more golden the further away you are from the happenings thereof, unless of course, my friends, you have the misfortune to choose to react negatively to those things which occur to you, in which case you become more and more cynical and bitter, and as the one known as Jim said, end up shaking your fist impotently at a Creator that seems to have other interests than yours at heart. But for most service-to-others entities, the net result of living a long life is that there is an increasing amount of memory that becomes polished and golden and can be trotted out, and many stories told that you enjoy telling over to yourself. And thusly you perpetuate the feeling of the reality of this personality shell. However, in time, even a Shakespeare is less remembered and each of you shall vanish into the Akashic record of your planet and the memories of your soul stream.
Q’uo continued by saying when we have moved through the gateway to larger life, we, as a soul stream, become aware again of the entire soul stream, so our awareness opens up and expands, and as a natural part of the personality shell drops away the closest that we have of knowing that we shall, in our personality shells, become part of people’s memory, is either in our being known as an author, an actress, or an artist who is known by those who admire our work, or by leaving behind our children, who remember us just as our personality shell was reflected to them, but it is a limited period during which we, as a personality, are remembered, and Q’uo felt that this was not a satisfactory response to our question, for they knew we would like to know that our life has made a difference, and yet would we care to save all of the details of each moment of our life? So, Q’uo said we are still among the living, and we have filed many things away under the category of “golden memories,” so if there were difficulties, we tend to leave them in obscurity while our favorite positive memories are taken out and polished up and perhaps even embroidered upon. Q’uo continued by saying memories become more golden the further away we are from them unless we have the misfortune to choose to react negatively to those things which occur to us, in which case we become more cynical, and as Jim said, end up shaking our fist impotently at a Creator that seems to have other interests than ours at heart, but for most service-to-others entities the result of living a long life is that there is an increasing amount of memory that becomes golden and can be brought out, and many stories told that we enjoy telling over to our self, so we perpetuate the feeling of the reality of this personality shell, but in time each of us shall vanish into the Akashic record of our planet and the memories of our soul stream. On April 15, 1987, Q’uanta revealed how our personal memories are stored in the Akashic record of our planet:
The connection between individual experience and the larger groupings of mind complexes which eventually blend themselves into that great store of experience that many have called the Akashic record is one which is one-to-one, shall we say. Each entity which gathers experience that is significant in the personal evolution records this experience in its own conscious and subconscious mind complex. Each mind complex has access to greater and greater stores of information as the roots of the individual mind complex contain all that which has been gathered by the entity in all conscious experience and continues to move in an harmonic fashion with those of, you would say, “like mind” or in many cases the racial mind, in other cases the cultural mind, and in still other cases the unique groupings of mind that blend various factors, be they social and culture, philosophical, or spiritual and religious, or racial or geographical.
Thus, there are many groupings of mind that serve as intermediary reservoirs of information and stand between the individual mind complex and the planetary mind, or that which we have previously referred to as the Akashic record. This record or planetary mind is that store of information which shall be opened to all the population of the fourth density that is to reside upon this planetary sphere. Each entity then will look upon this planetary mind as its ancient heritage and that which is available to inform further thought, and action as the various individual portions of the to-be social memory complex begin to seek further means by which the service of others may be accomplished.
So, what was it all for if this vital, vibrant, complex personality that you are eventually vanishes? We assure you, for the purposes of this incarnation, this masquerade was necessary and vital. You needed to have a personality shell in place so that you could be a witness to that which you experience, and so that you could work out what it is that you wish to do with the incarnation, day by day. It is vital, if work is to be done within an incarnation, to improve the balance of the soul stream, so that objective desires are defined and the focus tightened and sharpened. Each day it is possible for you to set your intention for the day. And each time that you do that, you become more present with yourself, and you use your incarnational time better.
It is as though you have a job of work to do, and you have given yourself everything that you need to do that job of work. The fact that it is, at one level, an illusion is not relevant to the work. This work was intended to be done inside the veil. You were not at all supposed to know the true value or meaning of that which occurs to you. Your area of responsibility, shall we say, is in choosing how you shall respond to that which the moment offers you. And it is not expected that you will somehow pierce the veil and become fully aware of a more real part of yourself thereby, logically, and in a linear manner choosing the right thing to do.
So, Q’uo assured us, for the purposes of this incarnation, this masquerade was necessary, and we needed to have a personality shell in place so that we could be a witness to that which we experience, and so that we could work out what it is that we wish to do within the incarnation, day by day, and it is vital, if work is to be done within an incarnation, to improve the balance of our soul stream, so that objective desires are defined and the focus tightened and sharpened, so each day it is possible for us to set our intention for the day, and each time that we do that, we become more present with our self, and we use our incarnational time better. Then Q’uo said it is as though we have work to do, and we have given our self everything that we need to do that work, so the fact that it is, at one level, an illusion is not relevant to the work because this work was intended to be done inside the veil, and we were not supposed to know the true meaning of that which occurs to us since our area of responsibility is in choosing how we shall respond to that which the moment offers us, and it is not expected that we will pierce the veil and become aware of the real part of our self in a linear manner of choosing the right thing to do. On July 13, 1986, Yadda spoke of the value of our being a witness within this illusion:
We ask that you discount all conclusions, and instead begin to gather data. In other words, be a witness and remember what you see and hear, knowing that you are seeing and hearing illusion, but that this illusion was given to you by yourself as the experience that will yield to you the truth about Love.
Secondly. We ask that you love not your mask, but yourself, and not the tasks about you, but the selves about you. If you must hate instead of love, at least hate that which is consciousness. But, my friends, you will have a hard time hating consciousness.
Quite to the contrary, my friends, your area of work is to increase your faith and strengthen your ability to, as Kierkegaard said, take a leap into the midair of faith. When you are living in faith, you have, as the one known as J said, an overwhelming awareness that all is well. And so, you can dwell, even in the midst of seemingly very limiting or challenging circumstances, in joy and gratitude. This is your area of work, to toss yourself into midair, to rely upon the knowledge that all is well, especially when it does not at all seem that all is well.
Indeed, in worse conditions it is more important for you to rest, to find peace in your heart, and to allow a reassuring presence to flow through you and to aid those about you who may be losing heart. These things are not done for linear reasons. These things are a product of a life lived in faith. It is a discussion in itself as to the interplay between the personality shell and a life lived in faith. As you press on, living a life in faith, you will find things falling away from you that you thought were absolutely part of your personality. This does not mean that you cease to have a personality. It means that those quirks and oddities of personality that are no longer necessary for you to do the job you came to do will fall away of their own accord when they are no longer needed. This instrument, for example, used to live on sweets when she was a little girl and when she was growing up. There was a certain point in her lifetime when she stopped craving them. She would have said that loving sweets was as much a part of her as breathing and now she has found that she is free of the craving for sweets, although she still enjoys them.
It is not that which needs to be disturbing to one, that there will be changes in the personality as the spirit within matures. But it would be foolish for even the most mature soul to assume that there is no longer a personality shell or an ego, for that clothing for the self is necessary as part of the illusion of Earth, part of the illusion of living in third density. You will find, more and more, as you come to seek the silence with empty hands and a cleared mind, that there is that within you far deeper than the personality and far more attractive to the self that begins to grow and take you with it.
So, Q’uo said our area of work is to increase our faith and strengthen our ability to take a leap into the midair of faith, so when we are living in faith, we have an overwhelming awareness that all is well, and we can dwell, even in the midst of challenging circumstances, in joy and gratitude because this is our area of work, to toss our self into midair, to rely upon the knowledge that all is well, especially when it does not seem that all is well. Q’uo went on to say in difficult conditions it is more important for us to rest, to find peace in our heart, and to allow a reassuring presence to flow through us and to aid those about us who may be losing heart, so these things are a product of a life lived in faith, and it is a discussion in itself as to the interplay between the personality shell and a life lived in faith, and as we press on, living a life in faith, we will find things falling away from us that we thought were part of our personality, but this does not mean that we cease to have a personality, but it means that those quirks of personality that are no longer necessary for us to do the job we came to do will fall away of their own accord when they are no longer needed, and Carla used to live on sweets when she was a little girl, so there was a certain point in her lifetime when she stopped craving them, so she would have said that loving sweets was as much a part of her as breathing, and now she has found that she is free of the craving for sweets, although she still enjoys them. Now Q’uo said it is not that which needs to be disturbing to us, that will cause changes in our personality as our spirit within matures, but it would be foolish for the most mature soul to assume that there is no longer a personality shell, for that clothing for our self is necessary as part of the illusion of Earth, part of the illusion of living in third density, and we will find as we come to seek the silence with empty hands and a cleared mind, that there is that within us deeper than our personality and more attractive to our self that begins to grow and take us with it. On October 10, 2024, Q’uo spoke of the value of our seeking the silence:
We would suggest that, without judgment or expectation, you simply seek the silence and listen for the Creator’s footsteps. Wait for the Creator’s arms to embrace you. Listen for the sound of the door to your heart opening wide. The gifts of silence cannot be expressed but the virtue of the attempt to enter the silence is absolute.
We would move on now to the question concerning whether or not an entity is still that entity when it joins a social memory complex and the answer to that, my friends, is decidedly in the affirmative. You have not experienced, perhaps, in your lifetime, what it is to be fully known, fully accepted, and fully loved. But you shall know those things when you enter the gates of larger life. Even between incarnations you shall experience this. And when you move into a fourth-density social memory complex as part of your choice-making after this incarnation and after your graduation, you will find that the atmosphere in which you exist is far different than you would have imagined.
To the ego or the personality shell it seems an intrusion for people to know your thoughts. However, you will find that it is a great relief. To your ego there are some thoughts that are good, and some thoughts that are not good, and you would not wish people to know of your secret thoughts. And yet, since all entities have them, they are not a surprise to anyone in fourth density or above. They are a part of an integrated being that contains all things that there are. If you are one with all that there is, do you not contain all things? Consequently, it is not a shock to you, in the context of a fourth-density social memory complex, that those entities which make up the social memory complex have, each and every one of them, a full panoply of thoughts, both positive and negative.
M’s second question was: “And, in addition, isn’t my soul’s identity also lost when it joins a social memory complex? And isn’t the social memory complex’s identity lost when it merges back to the Creator? Can Q’uo please comment?” Q’uo began by saying they would move to the question concerning whether or not an entity is still that entity when it joins a social memory complex, and the answer to that is in the affirmative, and we have not experienced in our lifetime what it is to be fully accepted and loved, but we shall know those things when we enter the gates of larger life, and even between incarnations we shall experience this, so when we move into a fourth-density social memory complex as part of our choice-making after this incarnation and after our graduation, we will find that the atmosphere in which we exist is far different than we would have imagined. Q’uo went on to say to the personality shell it seems an intrusion for people to know our thoughts, but we will find that it is a great relief, so to our personality shell there are some thoughts that are good, and some thoughts that are not good, and we would not wish people to know of our secret thoughts, yet all entities have them, so they are not a surprise to anyone in fourth density or above because they are a part of an integrated being that contains all things that there are, so if we are one with all that there is, we contain all things, so it is not a shock to us, in the context of a fourth-density social memory complex, that those entities which make up the social memory complex have a full range of thoughts, both positive and negative. On November 27, 2002, Q’uo suggested ways that we can deal with our secret thoughts:
We suggest a gentleness with the self, for the first self which must be loved in order to love others as the self is the self, and it is the hardest of selves to love, for the secret thoughts of the self are known. We would ask that each attempt to keep the light touch, being passionate and fiery as a lover in pursuit of the truth of the one infinite Creator and of the nature of the deeper self while being able to keep the light touch with the surface of the illusion, not disrespecting or dishonoring its importance but recognizing that illusion is involved in the information that is being offered.
It is, when one is not behind the veil of forgetting as you are in third density, very easy to see what thoughts are leading and how the personality, in a larger sense, is shaped. Consequently, if anything, individuality is stronger when one is part of a social memory complex, because all the other entities involved in the social memory complex have no axe to grind and wish only to support, respect, and honor you as a unique individual. And you feel the same towards all those around you. For, you see their suffering and their happiness and all of those things that they experience. You see their desires, and their dreams, and their hopes. And all of these things warm your heart and teach you. And you in turn teach them. So, there is a very good atmosphere for being yourself in a social memory complex. Nothing is lost when you join a social memory complex. You simply focus upon desires that you have in common and, as is the way of collaboration, you are more skillful and effective as part of a group than you were by yourself.
As we talk to you, you know that we are a combination of fourth-density, fifth-density, and sixth-density entities. Those within the principle of Q’uo have not yet gone through the ending of an octave of creation. However, it is our understanding, limited though it may be, that the essence of each part of the Creator that has been sent out remains in potentiation as the Creator breathes and decides again to know Itself better. And when It sends out parts of Itself again, there is a natural tendency to fracture or be splintered into the precisely identical soul stream that you experienced in the previous octave. So in truth, you, as an individual, are never lost. You simply are folded up into the Creator after a full octave of experience. After coming from alpha to omega you start again, and you learn again, and you desire again, and the fruits of that are preserved for the Creator so that It may know Itself ever better.
Then Q’uo said it is, when one is not behind the veil of forgetting as we are in third density, easy to see what thoughts are leading and how our personality is shaped, so our individuality is stronger when we are part of a social memory complex, because all the other entities involved in the social memory complex have no axe to grind and wish only to support, respect, and honor us as a unique individual, and we feel the same towards all those around us, for we see all of those things that they experience: their desires and their hopes that warm our heart and teach us, and in turn we teach them, so there is a good atmosphere for being our self in a social memory complex, and nothing is lost when we join a social memory complex because we focus upon desires that we have in common, and, as is the way of collaboration, we are more effective as part of a group than we were by our self. Now Q’uo said as they talk to us, we know that Q’uo is a combination of fourth-density, fifth-density, and sixth-density entities within the principle of Q’uo, but they have not yet gone through the ending of an octave of creation, but it is their understanding that the essence of each part of the Creator that has been sent out remains in potentiation as the Creator breathes and decides again to know Itself better, and when It sends out parts of Itself again, there is a natural tendency to be splintered into the identical soul stream that we experienced in the previous octave, so as an individual we are never lost, but we are folded up into the Creator after an octave of experience, and after coming from alpha to omega we learn again, and we desire again, so the fruits of that are preserved for the Creator so that It may know Itself better. On September 27, 2008, Q’uo spoke about the circular journey that we all take from alpha to omega and back to alpha again:
The creation of the Father is one, and the universe balances itself endlessly with regard to each and every one of its infinite bits and pieces of creatorhood which are making the long, circular journey from alpha to omega and entering into alpha once again.
We realize that we have only scratched the surface of this multifaceted question, but we judge this to be a good time to halt for this particular meeting. We would simply ask if there is a follow-up from any of those present or from the one known as G. We are those of Q’uo.
[Pause]
We are those of Q’uo, and we find the silence to indicate that no follow-up is necessary at this time. May we ask if there is another query in the circle at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
[Pause]
We are those of Q’uo, and find the silence to be resounding indeed! And so, we believe that we have exhausted the store of queries that people are willing to vocalize at this time. May we say again what a joy it is to be with you and to share your vibrations. We thank you for the opportunity to share our humble thoughts. It has been a real pleasure. We leave 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 took down the wire fence around the Vanilla/Strawberry Hydrangea Bushes, rolled up the fence into two parts and stored them in the garage because I discovered that I was given incorrect information a couple of years ago that deer like to eat Hydrangea Bushes. I stored the poles that held the wire fence in place in one of my garbage cans. Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery to buy four more bags of Western Red Cedar Mulch, a flat of Zinnas, and a flat of flowers that did not have a name tag.
This afternoon I went over to the flower garden in the middle of the Moss Garden and transplanted the flat of flowers with no name on the second layer of the flower garden where the Surprise Lily leaves have died back before the Surprise Lily Flowers usually come up in the middle of July. Then I transplanted the tray of Zinnas on to the top of the Wuthering Heights Mound in the front yard where some of the first Zinnas that I transplanted there last month had died out. Then I watered all of the flowers with fertilizer in the water. And then I sprayed all of the flowers with deer repellant.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 3
How Quickly The Moment Passes
I am the voice of Jesus Christ in the world, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
How very quickly the moment passes! How very swiftly the days run together! How soon each sunset comes upon those who dwell in sunlight! And in the end, how rapidly and suddenly does the daylight end, the night come, and the body become dust once again.
You, my children, dwell in dust, yet you are not dust.
You dwell in time, yet you are not time.
As you are the Father’s own children, may you see the preciousness of this moment, this hour, this day, this life.
Turn to the living Christ. Turn to divine Love. And find each present moment stretched, enhanced, and savored.
Turn, then, to the world and, with the eyes of the consciousness of Love, see the world remade in Love. Let your vision be carried in the brightness of the eye, in the lilt of the smile, and in the serenity of the heart, into the world this day and every day.
We leave you in the peace and Love of Jesus the Christ, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
