I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 18, 2010:
Jim: The question this evening has to do with the possible types of growth of mind, body, and spirit that would be possible at this time of year in particular, with the darkness of the day reaching its longest at the twenty-first, and light beginning to grow more strongly then with the worship of Jesus the Christ, who came with the message of unconditional Love, overcame the death of the physical body, exemplified resurrection, the giving and receiving of gifts one to another, and the opening of hearts. Q’uo, is there any particular type of growth that would be more likely or possible at this time of year that we could encourage in our own being?
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we join you this evening. It is a great privilege for you to call us to your meditation this evening. We are very honored and privileged to be asked to share our opinions with you. We congratulate each of you in creating the time to seek the truth in the midst of all the things you have to do in your busy lives. It moves us tremendously to see you seeking despite everything and indeed perhaps especially when the going gets tough. Your courage causes us to feel pride in your bravery and in your persistence.
Before we begin to speak about any spiritual subject, we would ask a favor of you if we could. We would greatly appreciate your listening to what we have to say with a careful ear. Look for the path of resonance and when you find it in the things we say, please feel free to work with that if you wish. If you do not feel resonance with what we say, then please leave it behind. It is not for you at this time. Perhaps at another time you can come back and read this session. But for right now let it be. Let it go. Trust your own discernment and your own powers of discrimination, for you are on track and you are on task. Let your resonance speak to you and not the opinion of some teacher or any entity whatsoever. We thank you for this favor.
You asked this day concerning what opportunities are yours at the time of what you call Christmas. You are quite right in that this is a season that is ripe with possibilities. It has been over two millennia since the one known as Jesus the Christ was born, lived and passed away from the earth plane. For those who wonder why this entity has such staying power, we can only say that this entity was a true historical figure, an entity who felt His calling early and studied for it endlessly. And when His time had come He walked into the desert where He had been so often before and presented Himself to his cousin, John, and said, “John, baptize me.” John was very upset. He said: “I am not worthy.” Jesus insisted and John complied and was baptized in water. What John did not realize was that Jesus would baptize all of those who followed him with fire. The two ceremonies are very different. Baptism in water has the energy of repenting and returning. Baptism by fire has the energy of creating a new Heaven and a new Earth.
The group question today was: “The question this evening has to do with the possible types of growth of mind, body, and spirit that would be possible at this time of year in particular, with the darkness of the day reaching its longest at the twenty-first, and light beginning to grow more strongly then with the worship of Jesus the Christ, who came with the message of unconditional Love, overcame the death of the physical body, exemplified resurrection, the giving and receiving of gifts one to another, and the opening of hearts. Q’uo, is there any particular type of growth that would be more likely or possible at this time of year that we could encourage in our own being?” Q’uo began by saying you asked concerning what opportunities are yours at the time of Christmas, and you are right in that this is a season that is ripe with possibilities, and it has been over two thousand years since Jesus the Christ was born, lived, and left the Earth plane, so for those who wonder why this entity has such staying power, we can say that this entity was a true historical figure, an entity who felt His calling early and studied for it endlessly, and when His time had come He walked into the desert where He had been so often before and presented Himself to his cousin, John, and said, “John, baptize me,” and John was very upset, so he said: “I am not worthy,” but Jesus insisted, and John complied and Jesus was baptized in water, but what John did not realize was that Jesus would baptize all of those who followed Him with fire, and the two ceremonies are very different because baptism in water has the energy of repenting and returning, but baptism by fire has the energy of creating a new Heaven and a new Earth. Q’uo went on to say Jesus began to walk and talk among the cities of the desert of Galilee, and He offered simple stories, yet they were stories that took the mind of those who heard Him away from what they thought they knew and into a world of mystery and paradox, so His teachings are not those of the church, for the church that grew up around Jesus the Christ after He died became a vehicle for political ambition, so given the number of the sayings of Jesus the Christ, the church fathers sought not the heart of that which Jesus taught, but that which would create a powerful church that would collect influence and money. On March 26, 1995, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the simple stories of Jesus the Christ:
The one known as Jesus the Christ, whose life this instrument is fairly familiar with from her practice of the Christian religion, tended to work with truth not by speaking plainly, but, rather, by offering little stories which had some of the characteristics of a riddle or puzzle, and which certainly were those parables which contain self-contradictory notions. One might infer, then, that this compassionate entity wished to speak a more accurate truth than could be achieved by the use of plain words. This entity, one might infer, considered the feeling behind a parable or story as the carrier of truer communication than the specific words themselves.
And so the so-called church of Jesus the Christ was corrupt almost from the very beginning. Every church father had his pick of the gospels that should be in the Bible and felt perfectly protected as they removed from the Bible concepts such as reincarnation which Jesus himself taught, but which was not considered appropriate by the fourth century when Christianity became the state religion of Rome. Throughout the two millennia since Jesus walked the dusty hills and valleys of Galilee the church has strayed more and more into corruption and banality. Yet the words of Jesus remain, calling to every heart through the centuries. And it all begins in a stable in Bethlehem, or so the story goes.
The parables of Jesus the Christ were noted for their non-literal value, even among the original disciples. Take, for instance, the parable of the seed. Jesus offered a story about a seed falling on different kinds of ground. Sometimes the seed fell on good ground and took root and flourished. Sometimes the seed fell on rock and could not find root and it died. There were all kinds of things that would happen to the seed in various types of soil and Jesus explained them all. And when He saw that the disciples were looking at him as if he had lost His mind, He explained that the seed was the Word, and that He could offer the Word to everyone but He could not soften the ground of their hearts. The ground needed to be soft before He got there.
Then Q’uo said the so-called church of Jesus the Christ was corrupt from the beginning, and every church father had his pick of the gospels that should be in the Bible and felt protected as they removed from the Bible concepts such as reincarnation which Jesus himself taught, but which was not considered appropriate by the fourth century when Christianity became the state religion of Rome, so throughout the two thousand years since Jesus walked the hills and valleys of Galilee the church has strayed more into corruption and banality, yet the words of Jesus remain, calling to every heart through the centuries, and it all began in a stable in Bethlehem. Now Q’uo said the parables of Jesus the Christ were noted for their non-literal value, even among the original disciples, so take the parable of the seed where Jesus offered a story about a seed falling on different kinds of ground, so sometimes the seed fell on good ground and took root and flourished, and sometimes the seed fell on rock and could not find root, and it died, so there were all kinds of things that would happen to the seed in various types of soil, and Jesus explained them all, so when He saw that the disciples were looking at him as if he had lost His mind, He explained that the seed was the Word, and that He could offer the Word to everyone, but He could not soften the ground of their hearts since the ground needed to be soft before He got there. On May 19, 1985, L/Leema spoke of how the concept of reincarnation had been removed from the Bible:
N: In relationship to Amy’s question. There was a consideration for a thought about the harvest in that before the fifth Ecumenical Council in Nicaea, called Nicaean, Constantinople, in, I think it was 553 AD, there was much talk about reincarnation and even in Christ’s teaching—at the Fifth Ecumenical Council it was deleted from the Bible. Has this affected the harvest, and how great has been the effect on those who would have considered reincarnation in the Western world?
I am L/Leema, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that the concept of reincarnation is a concept which allows an entity to view with a greater scope the forces which form one’s present experience. Yet, when this concept is absent within an entity’s thinking, those forces yet remain in motion, and the opportunities that these forces provide an entity are yet viable. Thus, as a concept in itself, it is of small value in the actual process of evolution. Those entities who were of the authority or upper echelon levels of the church at that time felt that entities would work more diligently within a lifetime if it were not known that future lifetimes were available to complete work left undone in the present lifetime. Though this is a choice which is a basic infringement upon the free will of others, it has had some effect in the causing of entities to work with that desired diligence.
Remember that “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God,” according to the gospel writer John. That Word, that Logos, was an active principle of unconditional Love, and so it remains to the present day. There are many, many entities who never have been Christian and never will be Christian but who love the sayings and the parables of Jesus the Christ because of their purity and their clarity. Jesus’ voice was a true voice of love. His last words included these: “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” My friends, this is your situation. The tribe of humankind upon Planet Earth has never fully understood the heart, the outgrowth and the results of the things that they do. They have never understood how it could possibly be wrong to defend one’s tribe, to gather resources for that tribe, and to defend it against all those whom they would interpret to be enemies. They have never grasped Jesus’ simple teaching that all are one in Love.
It is easy to say, “All are one in Christ,” but unless one is a Christian, it is meaningless to say that. And we would not press that upon you. But we wish you to see that the power of the name of Jesus the Christ is a power that is not conditional upon any belief system. It is an inherent part of that entity who Jesus was. He wished to be, and He became the exemplar of unconditional and absolute Love. There was no judgment in the one known as Jesus the Christ. He was crucified, according to the story, with two thieves and murderers. One of them was a bitter man, the other was more aware of his situation and he turned to Jesus, and he said, “Lord, will you remember me when you come into your kingdom?” Jesus immediately said: “This day you will be with me in paradise.” You see, he had turned and repented, undergoing a baptism of water, and then he turned to Jesus and underwent the baptism of fire. The sword of truth touched his lips and his iniquities were as nothing.
Now Q’uo said remember that “in the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God; and the Word was God,” according to the gospel writer John, and that Word, that Logos, was an active principle of unconditional Love, and so it remains to the present day, and there are many entities who never have been Christian and never will be Christian but who love the sayings and the parables of Jesus the Christ because of their purity and their clarity since Jesus’ voice was a true voice of Love, and His last words included these: “Forgive them, for they know not what they do,” and this is our situation, but the tribe of humankind upon Earth has never fully understood the heart, the results of the things that we do, and we have never understood how it could possibly be wrong to gather resources for that tribe, and to defend it against all those whom we would interpret to be enemies, and so we have never grasped Jesus’ simple teaching that all of us are one in Love. Then Q’uo went on to say it is easy to say, “All are one in Christ,” but unless we are a Christian, it is meaningless to say that, and Q’uo would not press that upon us, but they wish us to see that the power of the name of Jesus the Christ is a power that is not conditional upon any belief system, so it is an inherent part of that entity who Jesus was, and He wished to be, and He became the exemplar of unconditional and absolute Love, so there was no judgment in Jesus the Christ, and He was crucified with two thieves and murderers, and one of them was a bitter man, and the other was more aware of his situation, and he turned to Jesus, and he said, “Lord, will you remember me when you come into your kingdom?” Jesus immediately said: “This day you will be with me in paradise,” so he had turned and repented, undergoing a baptism of water, and then he turned to Jesus and underwent the baptism of fire, and the sword of truth touched his lips, and his iniquities were as nothing. In 84.4, Ra used Jesus as an example of an exemplar:
Questioner: The instrument asked the following question: “Ra has implied that the instrument is on a path of martyrdom, but since all die are we not all martyr to something? When, if ever, does martyrdom partake of wisdom?”
I am Ra. This is a thoughtful query. Let us use as exemplar the one known as Jehoshua. This entity incarnated with the plan of martyrdom. There is no wisdom in this plan, but rather understanding and compassion extended to its fullest perfection.
The one known as Jehoshua would have been less-than-fully understanding of its course had it chosen to follow its will at any space/time during its teachings. Several times, as you call this measure, this entity had the possibility of moving towards the martyr’s place which was, for that martyr, Jerusalem. Yet in meditation this entity stated, time and again, “It is not yet the hour.”
The entity could also have, when the hour came, walked another path. Its incarnation would then have been prolonged, but the path for which it incarnated somewhat confused. Thusly, one may observe the greatest amount of understanding, of which this entity was indeed capable, taking place as the entity in meditation felt, and knew, that the hour had come for that to be fulfilled which was its incarnation.
It is indeed so that all mind/body/spirit complexes shall die to the third-density illusion; that is, that each yellow-ray physical-complex body shall cease to be viable. It is a misnomer to, for this reason alone, call each mind/body/spirit complex a martyr, for this term is reserved for those who lay down their lives for the service they may provide to others.
Each of you, my friends, has a stable. It dwells within your heart. Do you visit it often? Do you enter and feel the rough straw under your feet. Can you smell the warm, intimate odor of hay, dust, and warm animals? Can you see the tiny infant who came because He loved and wanted to love us, held in His mother’s arms? And can you picture your own spiritual complex as an infant within incarnation, so young, so fragile and so tender, so vulnerable? And do you have the love of Mary, to pick yourself up and rock yourself and give yourself the opportunity to take on the cloak of Love? Can you encourage this being of Love that is your spirit within to grow and thrive and blossom? Can you help that baby within you, that baby-spiritual-self, to become able to look upon a world that is often dark, often chaotic, often incomprehensible, and love it?
The world would have you judge it. Jesus the Christ would have you love it. There is nothing further from the minds of those who rule the political scene than encouraging love, opening the heart, and nourishing the soul of Love within every human being. And yet, at this particular time of year, people all over the globe are seized by the infectious image of the infant Christ, Lord of Love, utterly dependent upon Mary mild, lying in the rough straw of a manger, sharing the stable with the beasts of the field and the shepherds, while above that stable floats the star of hope. What is hope? The one known as Paul said that hope is the knowledge of things unseen. Do you seek for that which is unseen? Do you turn to the silence? Do you go into that manger and kneel in the straw and say, “Lord, I am empty at last of every pretense. I have true poverty. I do not have imagination in my heart but only the will to serve you.”

I have true poverty. I do not have imagination in my heart but only the will to serve you.” On October 21, 1990, Q’uo described the nature of hope:
The entity with hope is aware that there is more to the earthly existence than those things which seem to comprise the earthly life, that there is more to the purpose of one’s existence than completing a daily round of activities after another daily round of activities, and completing an infinite number of such days, and accomplishing the tasks that come with them, that there is a Self which is greater than the self, that there is a binding force within all of the creation, that there is indeed a purpose which gives the life a nobility and a shining quality, a strength to continue and to find a more fully realized conception of that which is life, that which is direction, and that which is service.
We encourage you to spend more time during this season in your stable, on your knees in the straw, happy just to be near that part of yourself that is your infinite and eternal soul and spirit. You are not a babysitter. You are not a nanny. You are Mary, regardless of your biological sexuality. You have come into this world to magnify Love, to be a focus for the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator. In all of the civilization that produces corporations and military war and in which aggression flows around you as the rivers you experience within the world yet they cannot drown out the voice of Love.
Recall again what the one known as John said, “A light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot put it out.” This is the season of darkness, the longest night of the year is about to be experienced; a magical time, the time to give away all of the negativity to the dark and embrace the Light. Do not simply ride into the Light on the coattails of someone like Jesus or your guru. Realize that to Jesus, all of you are sons and daughters of the one infinite Creator. Jesus expected each of those who followed him to take up the cloak of Christhood and become voices of Love, thoughts of Love, hands and feet of Love, wills and intellects of Love. This was a wise and compassionate human being, a being that drew unconditional and absolute Love from those who followed Him. Imagine the surprise and consternation of simple fishermen being told, “Come, I will make you fishers of men.” Imagine the humble tax collector planning his next raid upon some poor farmer being called from his tax collecting to serve all of humankind.

On December 6, 2003, Q’uo described the cloak of Christhood:
Much has been said within this group and within your culture concerning that which this instrument calls the second coming. And we say to each of you, the cloak of Christhood is each entity’s destiny. The walk from Earth to Heaven, from third density to fourth, is a walk that all shall take. Each has ego; each has personality; yet each has gifts and dedication, two feet and a dusty path. Blessings abound.
Yes, they were startled, but yes, they agreed, taken in by a wild and almost unbelievable concept; the concept of unconditional Love. How long had it been since the fishermen and the tax collector had given real value to the interior life? How many years had they lived without thinking of themselves as “spiritual”? It took one charismatic figure to awaken them. And through the centuries nothing has awakened more people than the infant Jesus lying in a manger, bathed by the Light of the star of Hope. This is the time of year to embrace the Light most of all; to rejoice and give thanks, not rebelling against the darkness, but knowing that the darkness cannot put out the Light. The Light within you is fragile and yet it is the realest thing within you.
Q’uo said they were startled, but they agreed, taken in by a wild and unbelievable concept of unconditional Love, so how long had it been since the fishermen and the tax collector had given real value to the interior life, or how many years had they lived without thinking of themselves as “spiritual”? So it took one charismatic figure to awaken them, and through the centuries nothing has awakened more people than the infant Jesus lying in a manger, bathed by the Light of the star of Hope, and this is the time of year to embrace the Light, to rejoice and give thanks–not rebelling against the darkness–but knowing that the darkness cannot put out the Light, and the Light within us is fragile, and yet it is the realest thing within us. Then Q’uo said we put the Light out when we doubt our self, when we feel we could do more, that somehow we must find a way to serve, but we are serving in this very moment, so as long as our heart is open, and we love those whom we meet and allow them to love us, we are on track for graduation from third density, and we will do it with ease, because it is all about Love. On November 5, 1981, Hatonn said that the Light within us marks us as the Creator’s own:
This is a confusing density, we can make no bones about it. It is a difficult one in which to remember your identity. But there is, shall we say, a master, and you are his children. And the mark within you is that as his children, you are children of Light. And the Light within you marks you as the Creator’s own. No circumstance, no thought, no behavior, no error, no difficulty, no limitation can remove this mark from your very being and you rest in the arms of the Creator. There is no moment in eternity when this is not so.
There is an element of the everyday that bleeds into magic. It is only a woods; it is only a forest; yet there are fairies in the forest; there are nature spirits in the woods. It is only a sky, yet there are mysteries in that sky that scientists have not been able to explain. When humans gaze into the tiniest thing, the atom, they discover new mysteries. In trying to explain electricity they run up against more mysteries. Attempting to explain gravity, scientists bolt headlong into that which puzzles them. They are able to explain the effects of energies within the Creation, but they cannot explain their nature. They use what they do not know and the creations that they make are so astounding that they have changed the world completely. But only Love remains as it always has and it always shall, for it is a universe made entirely of Love.
So, enjoy the lights of Christmas, for they are brave against the darkness all around. Enjoy the giving of presents and the receiving of them, for they are love given and love received. Enjoy the opportunities kindly drummed up for you by all the non-profits who want your money so that they can be of service to others, people like the Red Cross and the Salvation Army who serve day in and day out, year in and year out. Enjoy giving and know that there is a fundamental rightness to all of this because it all remembers one tiny entity who could not speak, who could not act, but who entered his incarnation loving everyone. Find the energies of forgiveness springing forth from the depths of your heart and chasing away judgment and doubt. This is the heart of Love, to have faith that all is well, to know that all things happen well, and to accept that suffering that is inevitable as the kindly act, carefully arranged as a gift, so that you may lessen distortion in your soul stream and leave the incarnation vibrating more in balance than when you came in.
You do not have to know the details of your entire soul stream. All you need to know, my friends, is what Jesus offered in the stable, Love. Feel the angels hovering close at this time of year. Feel every kindly spirit in the unseen realms moving to that stable and in your heart let the, “Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,” ring until you glow from within. Then your stable is doing the job it came into your heart to do. Then shall you be heirs apparent of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.

On September 5, 2004, Q’uo described how all is well:
And we find that there is little that we may say to the one known as F at this time except that all is well. It is sometimes, as this instrument was saying earlier in an email to a friend, seemingly silly to say that all is well, to say that it’s okay, or it’s all right. This, as this instrument was saying, is what people say and yet, how intelligent is it to look at something that is causing difficulty and say, “It’s okay.” And we would say that patterns often do not look okay for periods of time, and yet energies are in motion that shall become a good pattern, a helpful pattern, and a pattern in which the one known as F may thrive. And we simply would offer her this comfort if it will create within the one known as F any feeling of rest and peace.
We are most pleased to have been able to respond to your query and would ask at this time if there is a follow-up question to this query before we ask for other questions. We are those of Q’uo.
[Pause]
We are those of Q’uo, and we believe that the silence indicates to us that there is no further query on the theme of Christmas and consequently we would ask if there is another question in the group at this time. We are those of Q’uo.
[Pause]
Again, the silence is resounding, my friends. We find that we have spoken to your query, and that it is now time to leave this instrument and this group, leaving each, 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, and on behalf of the Confederation of Angels and Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator we wish you the merriest of Christmases, the most inspiring of Winter Solstices, and the best start possible upon a whole new cycle of growth and learning in your lives. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning I went outside and turned on the fountain in the fishpond. Then I fed the fish and watered the hanging baskets of flowers around the fishpond. While I was outside, I took the recycle bin and the garbage can full of small tree limbs out to the road to be picked up tomorrow morning.
This afternoon I used my backpack blower to blow all of the leaves in the Moss Garden across Little Locust Creek into a couple areas where I could use Venus, my big lawnmower, to mulch them. Then I used Venus to cut the grass in the front yard, side yard, and the back yard to cut the grass and mulch the leaves in the back yard.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 4
Compassion Replaces Offense
I am of the Spirit of the Love of Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of perfect Love.
It is said that compassion blots out all offenses. Yet what your people feel most often is not compassion but guilt and anger. For you judge yourselves and others most harshly.
Compassion has little or nothing to do with offense. Rather it calls forth a higher reality, a more imposing presence, not overcoming mistakes and errors but simply offering a larger viewpoint.
Thus, it is that compassion replaces offense, forgives offense, and sees offense for what it is: that which is perceived by man. Yet who can say what is perceived by the Creator? Allow the Spirit of the living Christ to form compassion within your hearts and minds, not judging and not believing in a great paper towel that somehow wipes up the sin.
Know that there is a saner, more balanced, and more compassionate level of mind which brings mind and heart together in the compassionate Love of Christ, which sees the true beauty and perfection of souls who feel they may have made mistakes.
We leave you in that higher reality of the peace which proceeds therefrom. We leave you in the kingdom of heaven, now and forever.
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.
