I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 19, 2011:

Jim: The question this evening has to do with the topic of ascension. Most of us think of ascension in terms of what will happen to us after we die. We know that we drop the physical body and retain our spiritual or soul body. We walk the steps of light and continue forth into a new experience in that way. We would like some information tonight on the type of ascension that, say, Jesus did, or certain masters of all religions have done. I think Ra spoke of the 150 souls who were graduated after the second cycle. They could either go on to fourth density, if they wished, or stay, as they all chose to do, because they wished to see all of their brothers and sisters, shall we say, ascend or graduate with them. So, we would like to know something about this type of ascension in which certain masters of all cultures throughout the ages have participated.

(Carla channeling)

We are the principle known to you as those of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. As we gaze around this circle of seeking, we feel the great privilege of being asked to join you. Each of you has carved out a piece of your day to give to the seeking of truth. It is our honor to be included in that search, and we are glad to share our humble opinions with you on the subject of ascension while in the body, that is, the physical body of third density.

But first, as always, we would ask that you listen to or read our thoughts with discrimination and your best discernment. Listen for what appeals to you, for what makes you want to seek further. If something is not alive for you in what we say, please leave it behind. In that way, we can be fairly sure that we shall not disturb your spiritual seeking or infringe upon your free will, and that is important to us. Thank you for this consideration.

In this instrument’s mind, we find the word “ascension” to have connotations of confusion and chaos. This, my friends, is because as long as spiritual texts have been offered to the people of your planet, the subject of ascension has been one that is held in heavy dispute. Depending upon the way one’s culture works, ascension may or may not be a part of the tenets of the religion of the culture. It may or may not be the way that particular religious or philosophical system describes spiritual advancement. Therefore, there is a certain amount of emotion that clusters around this concept and tends to create a situation in which it is difficult to speak about the subject without exciting emotion. Our desire, as you know, is to consider such subjects in a way that allows the seeker to see into the structure of the query, to gather information about that query, and to lay out before the seeker resources that may possibly aid in thinking about the query. We would like to attempt to speak about ascension in that way.

We would start with the Christian concept of ascension. The act of leaving the third density while in one’s body and going elsewhere is called ascension because in the Old Testament and the New Testament, those of seemingly greatly advanced wisdom or love were able to be taken from the Earth. We note Elijah and his whirlwind and Jesus and his cross. Therefore, it is considered that they ascended in their bodies. From our point of view, we would say that ascension in general means to the population of those not Christian, perhaps not on a particular religious path at all, the event tied in with the date of the Winter Solstice of 2012, or whenever a particular seeker considers that third density is over and the next density or Age of man has begun.

The group question for this session was: “So, we would like to know something about this type of ascension in which certain masters of all cultures throughout the ages have participated.” Q’uo began by saying in Carla’s mind, they find the word “ascension” to have connotations of confusion and chaos, and is because as long as spiritual texts have been offered to the people of our planet, the subject of ascension has been one that is held in dispute, and depending upon the way our culture works, ascension may or may not be a part of the tenets of the religion of the culture, and it may or may not be the way that particular religious or philosophical systems describes spiritual advancement, so there is a certain amount of emotion that clusters around this concept and tends to create a situation in which it is difficult to speak about without exciting emotion, and Q’uo’s desire is to consider such subjects in a way that allows us to see into the structure of the query, to gather information about that query, and to lay out before the seeker resources that may possibly aid in thinking about the query, so Q’uo would like to attempt to speak about ascension in that way, so Q’uo went on to say they would start with the Christian concept of ascension, so the act of leaving the third density while in our body and going elsewhere is called ascension because in the Old Testament and the New Testament, those of advanced wisdom or Love were able to be taken from the Earth such as Elijah and His whirlwind and Jesus and His cross, and they ascended in their bodies, so from Q’uo’s point of view, they would say that ascension means the event tied in with the date of the Winter Solstice of 2012, or whenever third density is over, and the next density or Age of man has begun. On April 1, 2006, Q’uo described the process of ascension:

We have observed that the dogma-driven thinking of your religions, especially the one known as Christianity, has skewed the thinking about the ascension process and has created of it not a joyful celebratory event, but a fear-driven, doom-filled event. It is not the intention of the Creator that the process of ascension be narrowed down to an event of any kind. However, were a very narrow view to be taken of ascension so that one could see it as an event, it would be an event that was as full of positive emotions as one’s birthday, one’s wedding day, or any other celebration or party to which one looked forward greatly. The whole concept of ascension as a terrifying moment when the world ends and suddenly you are standing before a righteous judge, is far from the Creator’s mind, as far as we understand the Creator’s mind, and we note here that our understanding is faulty. We offer only our humble opinion at all times.

Now, what virtue is there in considering how to ascend while in the body? My friends, in terms of activity within the body, we do not find that this is a helpful concept for all people. The reason that we say this is that each of you won his or her way into the earth plane at the time of the harvest. Many there are who wished to have incarnations upon Planet Earth at this time, either to help raise the consciousness of Planet Earth with their love, or to do the work of third density in achieving a satisfactory balance between love and wisdom, love and power, or wisdom and power. Consequently, having won your way into the physical, we find there is wisdom in choosing to stay with the incarnation until you have learned all you can and served all you are able and are truly ready to let go of third density and all of its gifts and challenges.

However, the one known as Y noted that the kind of ascension that she has seen discussed in the book The Masters of the Far East seems to be a lot like living in fourth density, and we find that the heart of the question concerning ascension while in the physical body is keyed to this realization. Life, as it passes by the individual consciousness, seems to be very solid. Yet, it is not. The flow of time and space has endless potential. For those who seek deeply enough into the present moment, that moment, every moment, comes alive. Beneath your feet, the floor opens up and you can dive into that present moment. Boundaries fall away and as the song which you heard before this meditation says, you can be unbound.

Then Q’uo said in terms of activity within our body, they do not find that this is a helpful concept for all people because each of us has won our way into the Earth plane at the time of the harvest, and many there are who wished to have incarnations upon Earth at this time, either to help raise the consciousness of Earth with our love, or to do the work of third density in achieving a balance between love and wisdom, love and power, or wisdom and power, so having won our way into the physical, we find there is wisdom in choosing to stay with the incarnation until we have learned all we can, and served all we are able, and are ready to let go of third density and all of its gifts and challenges. Then Q’uo said as Y noted that the kind of ascension that she has seen discussed in the book The Masters of the Far East seems to be a lot like living in fourth density, and that Q’uo found that the heart of the question concerning ascension while in the physical body is keyed to this realization, so as life passes by our individual consciousness seems to be solid, yet it is not, and the flow of time and space has endless potential, so for those who seek deeply enough into the present moment, every moment comes alive, and beneath our feet, the floor opens up, and we can dive into that present moment, and boundaries fall away and as the song which we heard before this meditation says, we can be unbound. On March 20, Q’uo described the nature of the present moment:

Worry not about that which is projected from the present moment into that which shall be a future moment. Do and be in this moment and allow each succeeding moment to be created from the harmony of this moment. It is natural for entities within your third-density illusion to move from the present moment and to reminisce about those previous experiences and to project those that may occur in your future, for the present moment is that which is the most illusory and difficult to comfortably place oneself within, for all of one’s life, then, is contained within that immediacy of experience which the present moment surrounds. And for most entities who have not consciously considered the purpose of the life pattern, the present moment is that which shall be escaped from. Thus, we would recommend that you share your love at each present moment when it is felt and allow the moment to be enough unto itself.

Some attempt to approach this state of consciousness from the standpoint of clearing the body—eating well, exercising well, and so forth. Others seek to reach that state by going more and more into meditation, slowing down what this instrument sometimes calls “the monkey mind” and allowing spaciousness to flood in to the mind that is too concerned with the ten thousand things. Others approach the problem of lifting consciousness from its moorings in third density by reading and attempting to assimilate the gathered wisdom of all religions and all cultures, all systems of lore and myth. And although the scholar’s way often stays within the head, rattling around, filling the mind’s closets and shelves with too much information, the wisdom seeps down into the heart of the scholar and pulls him forward. There are as many ways to approach the evolution of mind/body and spirit as there are people.

The key to this work is this: the consciousness that you share with all others who are self-aware is one. It is the consciousness of the Creator. It is the consciousness of complete and unconditional Love. It is not Love as known to the poets who speak of romance. It is not the Love of brother for brother. It is not the Love that is sentimentalized in valentines tied up with ribbons, gifted with pretty gems. This is a Love that creates and destroys. This is a state of aliveness and endless potential. The vibration of Love is the vibration upon which the planets turn in their courses, the suns rotate in the galaxies ever so slowly to your eyes as they climb the heavens. You are a spark of that one original Thought. Advancement in any density can be measured by how near the vibration of your consciousness matches the vibration of the one infinite Creator.

Now Q’uo said some of us attempt to approach this state of consciousness from the standpoint of clearing our body by eating well and exercising well, and others seek to reach that state by going more into meditation, slowing down what Carla calls “the monkey mind”and allowing spaciousness to flood in to our mind that is too concerned with ten thousand things, and others approach the problem of lifting consciousness from its moorings in third density by reading and attempting to assimilate the gathered wisdom of all religions, all cultures, and all systems of lore and myth, so although the scholar’s way often stays within our head, filling our mind’s closets and shelves with too much information, the wisdom seeps down into our heart of the scholar and pulls us forward, and there are as many ways to approach the evolution of mind, body, and spirit as there are people. Now Q’uo said the key to this work is this: the consciousness that we share with all others who are self-aware is one since it is the consciousness of the Creator, and it is the consciousness of unconditional Love, but it is not Love as known to the poets who speak of romance, and it is not the Love of brother for brother, and it is not the Love that is sentimentalized in valentines tied up with ribbons, and gifted with pretty gems because this is a Love that creates and destroys, a state of aliveness and endless potential, so the vibration of Love is the vibration upon which the planets turn in their courses, and the suns rotate in the galaxies ever so slowly to our eyes as they climb the heavens, so we are a spark of that one original Thought, and advancement in any density can be measured by how near the vibration of our consciousness matches the vibration of the one infinite Creator. On December 12, 2005, Q’uo described the nature of the vibration of Love:

The vibration of Love, in the sense of unconditional Love or Logos, is a particular vibration that has created all that there is. Consequently, we cannot say that Love and truth are absolutely equal. For in the sense of the Logos, that is a way of describing the Creator Itself.

Youdo not mean to subvert or dilute this consciousness of Love. It is inevitable that there will be distortion. There will be a measurable dynamic between the vibration of Love and the vibration of your being at this moment. You are seeking to lessen that distortion so that you may avail yourself of the vibration of Love and be taken into the waters of that consciousness. Those who would be priests among all peoples have generally sought to work with consciousness itself, to work with their thoughts, both on a moment-to-moment basis and on the deeper level of work in consciousness, to tune their thoughts to the pitch of Love. In many, many ways there has been the dedication to devotion of the beloved One. There has been time set aside to tabernacle with the Creator, to come in from the desert of everyday life into the oasis of grace and mercy, to enter the tent of prayer and to rest in silence with the Beloved, blind to the world, open to the spirit.

You may have wondered why there is such a multiplicity of takes on how to serve the Creator, how to know the Creator. The answer to that, my friends, lies deep within the history of your planet, deep within the minds of its people. You have, among you on Planet Earth, sixteen different archetypal minds. They vary in seemingly small ways, yet the cultures produced by these archetypal minds vary widely in the way perception works. And it is according to the perception of people that they must work within the veil, veiled from memory of other incarnations for the most part, veiled from memory of the way things are outside of the veil. Various archetypal minds, various cultures, have found different doors of perception that work for them.

Q’uo went on to say we do not mean to dilute this consciousness of Love, and it is inevitable that there will be distortion between the vibration of Love and the vibration of our being at this moment, and we are seeking to lessen that distortion so that we may take advantage of the vibration of Love and be taken into the waters of that consciousness, and those of us who would be priests among all people have sought to work with consciousness, and to work with our thoughts on a moment-to-moment basis and on the deeper level of work in consciousness, to tune our thoughts to the pitch of Love, so in many ways there has been the dedication to devotion of the beloved One, and there has been time set aside to tabernacle with the Creator, to come in from the desert of everyday life and to rest in silence with the Beloved, blind to the world and open to the Spirit. Q’uo continued by saying we may have wondered why there is such a multiplicity of views on how to serve the Creator, how to know the Creator, and the answer to that lies deep within the history of our planet, and deep within the minds of our people we have sixteen different archetypal minds among us on Earth, and they vary in small ways, yet the cultures produced by these archetypal minds vary widely in the way perception works, so it is according to the perception of people that we must work within the veil, veiled from memory of our previous incarnations, and veiled from memory of the way things are outside of the veil, so various archetypal minds and cultures have found different doors of perception that work for them. On December 10, 2006, Q’uo gave examples of some of the archetypal cultures on Earth today:

Each sun or sub-Logos, as this instrument would say, has made choices in how the fundamental consciousness of the planetary population will express itself. We are not talking about the level of conscious choice, but rather the level of the archetypal mind and the roots of consciousness. For each planetary tribe, there is a unique flavor and quality to the archetypal and mythical aspects of that tribe. When coming to the second-chance planet of planet Earth, those populations carried the uniqueness of their archetypal minds, their roots of consciousness, with them.

When you look at races upon your planet, those who look a certain way and are called Caucasian, those who look a certain way and are called Hispanic, those who look a certain way and are called Native Americans, and so forth, you are looking at entities that don’t simply look a bit different on the surface. They are different, at the roots of their consciousness, in ways that they can never consciously express except by art or music or some craft which escapes the bondage of words and the intellectual or analytical mind.

Consequently, upon planet Earth at this time you have many tribes who are having their second chance at making the choice between love and service to others or that love which is turned into fear and service to self.

The perception of those such as the one known as Y has found useful is a perception that does not accept the reality of third density in the physical illusion. This is radically different from, for instance, the typical perception of those within the American culture or the European culture where great respect is given to the solidity of life, its mass and weight and physical characteristics. Your culture has found great value in coming more and more to understand how things work from the standpoint of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and so forth.

Those who are able to develop the kind of realization that frees them ultimately from the bounds of the physical are those who have grown up breathing in the air of belief in the reality not of this illusion but of the Creator. It is indeed bewildering to many who are in the European or American cultures to consider that their bodies, their obviously physical, obviously present bodies that have weight and mass, might not be real. It is a matter of perception. Those growing up where value was given to the physical illusion would not tend to be capable of opening those doors of those masters of the Far East. This does not mean that those who focus according to Buddhist or Hindu principles have less opportunity or more opportunity to open the gateway to intelligent infinity. It means that their perception of what they are doing varies, sometimes radically.

Q’uo continued by saying the perception of those such as Y has found useful is a perception that does not accept the reality of third density, and this is different from the typical perception within the American culture or the European culture where respect is given to the solidity of our life and its mass and weight, so our culture has found value in coming to understand more about how things work from the standpoint of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Now Q’uo said those of us who are able to develop the kind of realization that frees us from the bounds of the physical are those of us who have grown up breathing in the air of belief in the reality, not of this illusion, but of the Creator, so it is bewildering to many of us who are in the European or American cultures to consider that our bodies that have weight and mass, might not be real, and it is a matter of perception, so those of us growing up where value was given to the physical illusion would not tend to be capable of opening those doors of those masters of the Far East, but this does not mean that those of us who focus according to Buddhist or Hindu principles have less opportunity or more opportunity to open the gateway to intelligent infinity, but it means that our perception of what we are doing varies. On March 29, 2008, Q’uo described how we may open the gateway to intelligent infinity:

Faith is a vibration or energy which is far less distorted from the truth than any other vibration or energy which you as a third density entity are able to realize, express, or manifest. It is deeply connected with the indigo-ray chakra and is also fully conversant with that process of the indigo and violet ray moving through the gateway to intelligent infinity.

Power, my brother, can move through any of the chakra energies. And in making one’s life sacred, one discovers the joy of expressing one’s power through the highest possible expression, which is that of faith. An entity which has the faculty of faith well developed is indeed a most powerful beacon. So, we would not equate power with faith, but rather would say that it is a matter of the seeker’s journey to find higher and higher expressions of their will, their power, and their focus.

We will say this, my friends, there are ways in which individuals steeped in a culture that supports the unreality of physicality will find, given a lifetime of work in consciousness, to be able to manipulate matter so that it appears and disappears. You have seen in those who demonstrate hypnosis that if the perception of a person changes, actions can be taken that would seem to harm that person, such as running a needle through the arm or walking on coals that are burning embers. Yet under the influence of a hypnotist, a hypnotized person feels no pain at the stick of the needle, feels no burning as he walks over fire. It is a matter of perception.

For those who find these methods of seeking the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator such a seeking to cleanse the body, furnish the mind, understand what is happening and so forth, all of these various efforts can be very helpful. We suggest that the seeker play with such ideas lightly, musingly, as the cow chews its cud slowly, and if the mind catches fire, if the heart catches fire, then perhaps this method is one which will be a good resource for you. To offer a more general perception to those who would find it useful, we might say that the matter of matter does not matter. You can think of ascension as taking your physical body with you. Many do.

Q’uo said there are ways in which individuals steeped in a culture that supports the unreality of physicality will find, given a lifetime of work in consciousness, that that they are able to manipulate matter so that it appears and disappears, and we have seen in those who demonstrate hypnosis that if the perception of a person changes, actions can be taken that would seem to harm that person, such as running a needle through the arm, or walking on coals that are burning, yet a hypnotized person feels no pain at the stick of the needle, feels no burning as he walks over fire since it is a matter of perception.

On April 1, 2006, Q’uo gave a detailed description of the ascension process:

Your life is a process of gradual ascension. You start with raw ingredients. Throughout your life, each choice that you make advances the distilling process. At the moment of death, the gateway to larger life opens and you yourself are able to see with the enhanced vision of time/space where you are in your ascension process. You are the judge that you have so feared. Your spirit guide, guidance system, or higher self, is there with you as a resource to you.

From our point of view, we see the term spirit guide as somewhat lacking in specificity. We would rather discuss the higher self for in terms of the structure of this resource of the self, the higher self comes from a place in the circle of your personality stream, shall we say, or your soul stream, that is far in advance of your consciousness within incarnation at this time. The higher self is your self at a point within sixth density where the lessons of unity have been so far advanced that you as an entity have become aware in sixth density that you are moving away from close contact with that which has been laid within your memory as the occurrences of all of the densities up through sixth.

They are falling away from you at this point and your mind, heart, and will are turning ever more toward the face of the Creator. You are acquiring enough spiritual gravity that you are aware that this is your goodbye to the self of this creation. You are not any longer interested in your personality shell. You are ready to be absorbed into the Godhead principle once again.

And so, you turn in the midst of sixth density in this very precious and pivotal point in the distillation of your soul, and you leave a resource behind as a gift to yourself. It is available in third density, fourth density, fifth density, and, if needed, in the beginning of sixth density for that soul and spirit that you are. Your higher self is inextricably bound into your consciousness. It must be asked in order to be heard. The Spirit, or higher self, will not speak unless it is asked; it can not intrude upon free will. It must wait for your interest, your desire, your questions, your cries, your groanings, your rejoicings, and any other conversation that you wish to have. It waits patiently, full of love, knowing you because it is you but you at your highest and best. So, there is color to the spirit. There is energy and liveness, but there is not is physicality. The spirit is uncreated. It is a resource, an essence if you will. Therefore, at the moment of death your higher self is with you, part of you, supporting and encouraging you as you walk into the Light of larger life.

 Or you can think of ascension as a state of consciousness that has nothing to do with the physical body. If your perceptions find that thinking of ascension without regard to the physical body is useful then we would say this. In a very deep and real way, each of you is at the center of a Creation, your creation. In a world where everything is, in a clichéd way, relative, you can easily and comfortably accept the proposition that your experience is subjective. You may strive all your life to achieve objectivity, but you see, my friends, you are there. You are a witness, and that which you observe is observed according to your perceptions. The truth lies beyond perception. The truth lies beyond the conscious mind; that is, the intellect. It is not beyond the mind of the heart, which is consciousness itself. Yet consciousness itself is. It is not a doer. You are the action figure in your drama. Consciousness abides. Therefore, it is easier to be Love than to be able to speak of Love.

Your creation is made up of the way you choose to think about things, the way you choose to observe and perceive things. The striving of humanity in third density is to move beyond the limits of normal perception and open the doors to all that there is. Consequently, if you wish to ascend within the body, that is, the physical body, you shall wish to let your intuition bring to you the activities and the thoughts that will help you to achieve that. Consciousness, awareness, perception, is malleable and easily influenced by many things. This instrument has many times had the experience of reading something incorrectly because of a good deal of astigmatism in her vision, so that one set of words become something else entirely. Many times, this instrument has gotten something out of words that she read incorrectly. Was her perception misguided? It does not matter whether she read correctly or incorrectly. What matters is how she responded to that which she perceived. That is your Creation in the making: your awareness that you are a Creator and that you can create a subjective creation that suits you not a little or not for the most part, but through and through.

Then Q’uo said we can think of ascension as a state of consciousness that has nothing to do with our physical body, so if our perceptions find that thinking of ascension without regard to our physical body is useful then in a deep and real way, each of us is at the center of our creation, and in a world where everything is relative, we can accept the proposition that our experience is subjective, so we may strive all our life to achieve objectivity, but we are there, and we are a witness, and that which we observe is observed according to our perceptions, but the truth lies beyond our conscious mind of our intellect, but it is not beyond our mind of our heart which is consciousness itself, yet consciousness itself is, and it is not a doer, so we are the action figure in our drama and consciousness abides, so it is easier to be Love than to be able to speak of Love. Q’uo continued by saying our creation is made up of the way we choose to think about things and the way we choose to perceive things, so the striving of humanity in third density is to move beyond the limits of normal perception and open the doors to all that there is, so if we wish to ascend within the physical body, we shall let our intuition bring to us the activities and the thoughts that will help us to achieve that because consciousness is malleable and easily influenced by many things, and Carla has many times had the experience of reading something incorrectly because of a good deal of astigmatism in her vision, so that one set of words become something else entirely, so many times she has gotten something out of words that she read incorrectly, but it does not matter whether she read correctly or incorrectly, so what matters is how she responded to that which she perceived, and that is our Creation in the making, that our awareness that we are a Creator, and that we can create a subjective creation that suits us through and through. On April 27, 2024, Q’uo spoke about the value of our intuition:

At this time, you are unaware that that quality which is the higher self is you, for the higher self is a greater portion of who you are. You are all things, the higher self, and the One Creator as well. However, the higher self is more like the teacher in the school room, where you in the incarnate state are a student. And as you ask the higher self for more questions about your journey, then sometimes they are answered through your higher self, or your guides that might communicate via your intuition, your hunches, those thoughts that come to you, shall we say, out of the blue; and yet, it’s not out of the blue, but it is out of you, for you are one with these sources of information, and you are expanding your own experience of yourself when you make contact with these guides, your higher self and others within the inner planes that are aware of you and are attracted to you by the way you seek on your spiritual path.

Youhave this saying in your culture. It is, “What goes around, comes around.” How you perceive has a tremendous amount to do with what happens to you. Say that you are one who perceives with a rosy hue, you are an optimist. You see hope and faith everywhere. That which happens to you will be interpreted according to your expectation of all things turning out well. There are those who feel that everything is hopeless. The world is meaningless, existence has no point, and the only appropriate point of view is ironic, desperate and without hope. To such a person even the sunniest day will have shadows. Both entities are seeing truly for themselves. Their experience overwrites what could be called “objective reality.” Your experience will always overwrite the parts that make up the sum of what you observe.

Consequently, you can indeed create of your experience of life an environment that more and more nearly matches the vibration of the infinite One. You can avail yourself of that vibration. That which is real in the universe is both infinite and limited. Unity is that which is real. You are all one. We are all one with you. The Creation is all one interconnected being. Consciousness abides. Whether you, like the masters of the Far East, focus on a set of perceptions having to do with the physical body, or whether you choose any one of a number of other ways of viewing the Creation and your place in it, regardless of what you think reality is, spiritual evolution is a matter of gradually lessening the difference between your vibration and the vibration of the one infinite Creator.

Now Q’uo said we have this saying in our culture of “What goes around, comes around,” and how we perceive it has a lot to do with what happens to us, so say that we are an optimist, and we see hope and faith everywhere, so that which happens to us will be interpreted according to our expectation of all things turning out well, but there are those who feel that everything is hopeless, and the only appropriate point of view is without hope, so to such a person even the sunniest day will have shadows, and both of us are seeing for our selves, so our experience overwrites “objective reality,” and it will always overwrite the parts that make up the sum of what we observe. Now Q’uo said we can create of our experience of life an environment that more nearly matches the vibration of the infinite One, and we can avail our self of that vibration, so that which is real in the universe is both infinite and limited, and unity is real, so we are all one, and Q’uo is one with us, so the Creation is all one interconnected being that abides, and whether we, like the masters of the Far East, focus on a set of perceptions having to do with our body, or whether we choose any one of a number of other ways of viewing the Creation and our place in it, and regardless of what we think reality is, spiritual evolution is a matter of lessening the difference between our vibration and the vibration of the one infinite Creator. On September 13, 1981, Hatonn defined how we can enhance our spiritual evolution:

May we only suggest that in any seeking which you may undertake, if you should wish to evaluate its effectiveness as regards your own spiritual evolution, you may simply ask yourself the question, “How may I serve others through this activity?” If you can find ways to share the Love of the Creator with those brothers and sisters who are one with you upon this planet, then you have done that which is of great value, and you have accomplished a feat that few upon your planet can name as their own.

This instrument has often yearned for the peace that lies beyond the veil, in a land where all is known, as is the experience of a fictional character called Ria, yet there are many times within this instrument’s life when she has found that she is in fourth density because she lives, as far as she knows how, by fourth-density values. If you could think of this kind of perception as an environment, such as a room or a house, one could say that this instrument spends some time in that room, but not all the time. There is a constant moving in and moving out of that state of mind because of the happenings of the day, that which impinges upon this instrument’s consciousness. We feel that she is a useful example in that all entities tend to vary from moment to moment and from day to day.

Those who take themselves apart from society so that they may focus inwardly with more purity will have a different walk than those who choose to live their priestly life in the hustle and bustle of the noontide, with the buses honking and the trains running, the people going to and fro in their errands, doing their work. It is not true that it is necessary to separate from one’s society in order to achieve spiritual realization. It is only true that it is a very different walk, and there are gradations of practice that enable each person to choose for himself or herself how much of the walk shall be in company and how much shall be in retreat. There is no right answer. There is only the assurance that, as far as we know, that which you seek can be accomplished in any environment in which your seeking and your desire have value. You can indeed live in fourth density this moment. It may happen to you inadvertently or it may happen to you as a result of the discipline of your mind and your body.

Feel for a moment the quality of consciousness within you. Feel it filling you, your chest, your limbs, your torso. Feel your heart expand as you focus on this consciousness. Feel the Love in that consciousness. This is your basic tool, consciousness itself. It is inevitably true that speaking will confuse you, distract you, seduce you, and whether you are amused or, charmed or, dismayed by words, they cannot be said to lead you into essence. Consequently, in order to dwell in the environment of your choice, we encourage contemplation, meditation, prayer, or any way that you choose to enter the silence, to come out from the desert to the oasis and go into the tent of tabernacle. For the infinite One is ever awaiting you to companion you, to love you and to empower you for service.

Now Q’uo said Carla has often yearned for the peace that lies beyond the veil, in a land where all is known, yet there are many times within her life when she has found that she is in fourth density because she lives by fourth-density values, so if we could think of this kind of perception as a room or a house, we could say that she spends some time in that room, but not all the time because there is a moving in and moving out of that state of mind because of the happenings of the day, that which impinges upon her consciousness, and Q’uo felt that she is a useful example in that all of us tend to vary from moment to moment and from day to day. Q’uo continued by saying those of us who move our selves apart from society so that we may focus inwardly with more purity will have a different walk than those who choose to live their priestly life in the hustle and bustle of the noontide, with the buses honking and the trains running, the people going to and fro in their errands, doing their work, but it is not true that it is necessary to separate from our society in order to achieve spiritual realization, but it is only true that it is a different walk, and there are gradations of practice that enable us to choose for our selves how much of the walk shall be in company and how much shall be in retreat since there is no right answer, so there is only the assurance that which we seek can be accomplished in any environment in which our seeking has value, and we can live in fourth density this moment, so it may happen to us by chance, or it may happen to us as a result of the discipline of our mind and our body. Then Q’uo said to feel the quality of consciousness within us, and feel it filling our chest, our limbs, our torso, and feel our heart expand as we feel the Love in this consciousness which is our basic tool, and it is true that speaking will confuse us, and whether we are amused or dismayed by words, they cannot be said to lead us into essence, so in order to dwell in the environment of our choice, Q’uo encouraged contemplation, meditation, prayer, or any way that we choose to enter the silence, to come out from the desert to the oasis and go into the tent of tabernacle, for the infinite One is ever awaiting us to love us and to empower us for service. On September 17, 1995, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our essence:

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, but aware of no sure means of describing the nature of the soul with words that can be understood, for the nature of each soul is the essence of each soul, is the essence of the one Creator, and this essence at its heart is mystery. There is energy. There is intelligence. There is infinity. There is unity. All these are a portion of this soul essence.

We would at this time ask if there is a follow-up to this query. We are those of Q’uo.

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and since this instrument’s ears have heard nothing but silence and the occasional creaking of a chair may we ask if there would be a final query this evening before we leave this instrument.

E: I have a question. My question is more than an epistemological question regarding the knowledge of the chakras and/or concepts of energy centers. I want to know where this knowledge first came from. Was it purely through experience or was knowledge of these received some other way which then generated or manifested the experience of them?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. We offer to the one known as E that there is a feedback system that tends to bring one to a more and more accurate perception of the truth about things unseen. We would say that there have always been those in third density for whom the veil was thinner. Some have sensitivity to sight and can actually see the auras of the chakra system as they interpenetrate the body. Some have a heightened sensitivity to color and can feel, perceive, and sense, if not see, the variation of colors and patterns as one moves up the chakra body along the spine from the groin to the top of the head.

One way and another, perceptions have been shared. And as perceptions are shared, intelligence grows for all of the group with whom this intelligence is shared. This intelligence in turn creates the possibility for more detail to be filled in by those who are sensitive in one way or another. So, in a sense, it was all from observation that this system of chakras or energy centers and their correspondences has been noted down and discovered, shall we say. And yet there is always that aid from Spirit that comes to those who are keenly focusing upon certain material. Therefore, we would have to say that it is basically a feedback system. This is not an entirely satisfactory answer to your query but in order to penetrate deeper, my sister, we would need more time than we have with this instrument at this time.

E’s question was: “My question is more than an epistemological question regarding the knowledge of the chakras and/or concepts of energy centers. I want to know where this knowledge first came from. Was it purely through experience or was knowledge of these received some other way which then generated or manifested the experience of them?” Q’uo began by saying we offer to E a feedback system that tends to bring us to a more accurate perception of the truth about things unseen, and there have always been those in third density for whom the veil was thinner, so some have sensitivity to sight and can actually see the auras of the chakra system as they interpenetrate the body, and some have a heightened sensitivity to color and can perceive the variation of colors and patterns as they move up the chakra body along the spine from the groin to the top of the head. Q’uo went on to say one way and another, perceptions have been shared, and as perceptions are shared, intelligence grows for all of the group with whom this intelligence is shared, and this intelligence creates the possibility for more detail to be filled in by those of us who are sensitive in one way or another, so it was all from observation that this system of chakras and their correspondences have been discovered, and there is always that aid from Spirit that comes to those who are focusing upon certain material, and this is a feedback system, but Q’uo said this is not a satisfactory answer to your query, but in order to penetrate deeper we would need more time than we have with this instrument at this time. On April 15, 2017, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the system of the chakras from red through green:

The light first makes its entrance into your system of chakras through the base energy center, that which has been called the red-ray center. This center is that which is concerned with the very basic functions of your life pattern: the survival of your physical and mental vehicles, and the reproduction of your physical vehicle itself. All catalyst is first reacted to at this base energy center, and the reaction of this center could be said to have a certain vibrational frequency that is audible to the metaphysical ear, the ear that has been tuned to the sounds of the universe, shall we say, for all the creation is alive and each portion of it sings its sacred song to the One Creator. The red ray, therefore, has the lower notes in this musical arrangement of energy centers, and will pass the intelligent energy higher into the orange-ray energy center if there is no significant blockage at the red ray.

At the orange ray, the energy vibrates in a more, as you would say, rapid fashion, so that it becomes focused more carefully upon your individual expressions of identity in your relationships with other entities on a one-to-one basis. Here we have the ability to harmonize the energies of two entities, or if there is not immediate harmony, then there is a different kind of sound vibration that is the result of the interaction of two entities, and will reflect a certain amount of harmony or a lack thereof.

If there is still no significant blockage that totally blocks the intelligent energy, it shall continue its rise upward into the yellow-ray energy center in which the vibrations of the entity are again enhanced or increased, so that the relationship of the individual is now with a group of individuals and allows a greater ability to respond to this interaction. And this response, again, is amplified in such a manner that there is a higher pitch to the interaction between the individual and the group in which it finds itself, be it the family, the community, the school, work, team, and so forth. Many are the groups in your social complex, for indeed, you are grouped together in many various ways that allow individual expression to be magnified and cover a larger area, shall we say, of the experience available to each seeker of truth.

Within your third-density illusion, the goal is for this energy of the sub-Logos to move eventually into the heart, to the green-ray energy center, that again amplifies or accelerates the vibrational tone so that it takes on a more, shall we say, ethereal or higher pitch, that, then—when seen in comparison to the tones of the red, the orange, and the yellow energy centers—begins to blend in what is hoped to be an harmonious fashion so that one, who has a sensitive ear of the inner variety, may be able to discern an energy center blockage where there is a lack of harmony in the lower centers, that would, when relieved or balanced, bring the energies into the green ray.

The energies are also available to move higher when the conscious seeker of truth has mastered the ability to give and receive Love from all those about one, and give it as well to those who surround the entity. This Love is not only given to those intelligent beings which the seeker of truth interacts with on a daily basis, but to the entire creation; for at this level of being, the seeker of truth becomes aware that the entire creation is made of that quality that vibrates in harmony with the green-ray energy center, that being the Love vibration.

Thus, this vibration of love begins to find a resonance within the total system of energy centers and causes the tones of each center to be raised to a minimum, shall we say, graduation frequency, so that there becomes within the seeker a kind of sacred choral hymn, emanating on a constant basis that becomes, what you might say, the identifying vibration of the entity. Each ascending energy center beyond the green will also increase the pitch and quality of the tone of the energy center as it is able to become activated, balanced, and open, ready to received further intelligent energy and move it upwards, until eventually, at the violet ray there is the ability of the seeker of truth to have the experience of union with the One Creator that gives this entity the ability to be harvested at any moment that it chooses within the incarnational pattern.

However, for most entities of the third density, the graduation into the fourth density is that which is accomplished at the end of the incarnational period as the seeker moves through the death process, as you call it, in its indigo-ray body and walks the steps of light to determine the ability to welcome and enjoy a higher frequency of the light vibration.

May we answer you in any way further? We are those of Q’uo

E: No, thank you.

We thank you, my sister. It is such a pleasure to be with each of you! Yet now it is time to take our leave of you. It is not in our nature or our environment to come among you and give you hugs but we feel the desire to give you hugs. We love you and we thank you for being you. We leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I went outside and cleaned the filters for the fountain on the fishpond. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the back yard into two piles which I then put into a garbage can for yard waste pickup next week. At 11 am I was once again honored to be a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. Some of the questions I was asked had to do with maintaining a feeling of love in our crazy world today, how Carla’s tuning and challenging of spirits process worked, the channeling of guides and our higher self, channeling only in groups and the necessity of challenging all unknown sources, and Jonathan’s Pop Quiz had to do with Juneteenth in which it took two and one-half years for slaves in Texas to find out that they were free, along with many other open-hearted questions of how to travel the spiritual journey as an awakened spiritual seeker of truth.

This afternoon two of my favorite staff members from the Middletown Animal Clinic came by to take a tour of my flower gardens and the houseplants in my home. I thanked them for many years of taking care of Carla’s and my kitty cats, and told them that I looked forward to keeping in contact with each other.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 7

Be Glad For Imperfection

Greetings. I am the blessed principle of the truth and peace of the consciousness of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the Love of Christ.

It may seem to you that you are not getting very far, very fast, along your spiritual path. You may be upset at the lack of symmetry in the arrangement of your daily life, feeling that it is not in conformation with your desires.

And yet with imperfection comes a kind of opening of the Spirit to the challenges of the mind. Would you have your outer life so smooth, seamless and perfect that there is in it no room for revelation of self-consciousness? Be glad for the imperfection that keeps your minds busy.

Peace be with you.

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.
