I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from February 8, 1987:
What do you say to people who have cancer and are facing the possibility of death?
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to be with you and to be called to offer our humble service during your meditation. We are honored that you choose to ask us questions which those who seek to know the truth would surely ask. It is good to share the vibratory energies of those who seek as we do the one Creator in each aspect. For we, as you, have no greeting but Love and Light, for there is no impulse but thought and no manifestation but Light. Yet few are those who may greet each other in the comradeship of shared seeking and under the banner of the one infinite Creator. And may we say to you that it is our opinion that it is the experience of dwelling in trust with those who are from elsewhere who yet share the same Creator, and they are the true center and have the true value that we have to offer as we answer your questions and that you have to offer as you ask them of us. For the trust we place in each other is a symbol of our attempt to grasp our unity, one with another and our common identification as the Creator.
The sharing of beingness and consciousness is, indeed, a powerful thing; and we take this opportunity to thank you; nor should you fear if your numbers are small and your meditation circle is not vast; or even if you sit alone. Yet still, if you know and claim the witness of unseen friends, the Light that you may raise in meditation is enormously powerful. We hope this has set up that which we wish to say about advice to those who must speak to cancer victims. My children, it is difficult to penetrate the illusion of life or death while living in such an artificially delicate and cumbersome mechanism as the physical vehicles which you enjoy during your Earthly experience. The nature of experience is interestingly mazed. Seemingly positive and happy experiences are oftentimes of little depth, times when thought processes are slowed and intellectual, spiritual, and physical senses dulled, whereas difficult times and crises, seemingly so appalling as experiences, often produce excitement, revivification of heart, and mind, and soul, rededication, and renewal of stewardship and service commitments.
When you receive the news of a known killer which has been found within your physical body, you are naturally going to spend an ocean of tears wept or unwept, a ton of words said and unsaid, railing against and being angry about the cessation of life. Yet in the crisis of possible death lies a tremendous opportunity for the rededication of the life. For news of a possible death is a creative disturbance, a freeing mechanism which allows the one experiencing it to consider a wider variety of options with more seriousness than when the entity thought they were perfectly healthy. There is an opportunity not to be afraid. There is the opportunity to turn into one who celebrates the life lived in the present moment. Such an entity, having found a center of joy and peace in the appreciation of many blessings, notes with keen accuracy the difficulties of the present moment without becoming discouraged because of the debit side of the balance sheet. Thus, refraining from dwelling upon possible futures, yet inspired by the possible future of depth to the amendment of the attitude at the present moment, the seeker who wishes to transform the experience of cancer may begin by affirming and celebrating each day as it awakens. This is not an exercise to use merely during periods of potential death. It is an exercise for life, not for death, for each day may be lived far more fully and with far more enjoyment and freedom, spontaneity, and humor than most among your peoples are able to manifest. For the negative emotions and blockages color and bias the experience in negative ways. Any entity may choose to begin to shape the life experience for the self and by so choosing may become a more and more polarized entity.
The group question for this session was: “What do you say to people who have cancer and are facing the possibility of death?” Q’uo began by saying the sharing of consciousness is a powerful thing, and if you know and claim the witness of unseen friends, the Light that you may raise in meditation is powerful, so we hope this has set up that which we wish to say about advice to those who must speak to cancer victims, for it is difficult to penetrate the illusion of life or death while living in such an artificially delicate and cumbersome mechanism as the physical vehicles which you enjoy during your Earthly experience since the nature of experience is a puzzle where happy experiences are often of little depth, and times when intellectual, spiritual, and physical senses are dulled, whereas difficult times and crises often produce enlivening of heart, mind, and soul and renewal of service commitments. Then Q’uo said when you receive the news of a known killer which has been found within your physical body, you are going to spend an ocean of tears and a ton of words being angry about the end of life, yet in the crisis of possible death lies an opportunity for the rededication of the life, for news of a possible death is a freeing mechanism which allows the one experiencing it to consider a wider variety of options with more seriousness than when the entity thought they were perfectly healthy, and there is an opportunity not to be afraid and to turn into one who celebrates the life lived in the present moment, for such an entity, having found a center of joy and peace in the appreciation of many blessings, notes with accuracy the difficulties of the present moment without becoming discouraged because of the debit side of the balance sheet, so inspired by the possible future of depth to the amendment of the attitude at the present moment, the seeker who wishes to transform the experience of cancer may begin by celebrating each day as it awakens, and this is an exercise for life, not for death, for each day may be lived more fully and with more freedom and humor than most among your people are able to manifest, for negative emotions and blockages bias the experience in negative ways, and any entity may choose to begin to shape the life experience for the self and by so choosing may become a more positively polarized entity. On April 12, 1992, Q’uo spoke about how we can transform the experience of our life:
Now, those who rush through an agenda, crossing things off the list of the day, may well not be very aware of the mundane or metaphysical wind. Thus, they may well cut themselves off from the dance that enlivens the rhythm that blesses and makes spontaneous and joyful the thoughts and the actions of each moment. If one stands ignorant of the wind, gazing only at the compass and saying doggedly, “This I shall do now, then this, one step then another; I shall go north, I shall always go north, I have my compass and I shall go north,” one shall not go long before one runs into a tree or some wind of destiny that, if caught, if heard, if felt, could, indeed, transform the experience—not from the level of the bio-program, but from the level of the meta-program, that deep program within each entity which has to do with the unique patterns of one individual who has a spark of the infinite Creator within, and thus is set upon a lodestar that cannot be seen by the self or any other, but must, indeed, exist awaiting that moment when the wind of destiny does, indeed, cross the path.
We turn to look at some practical matters. We realize that, as we scan this instrument, we look at two providers whose families are dependent upon money earned by one potentially not able to provide. We would speak to those who fear that there is not a plentiousness of all things—the remembrance of friends, strangers who smile, individuals who unpredictably but generously may aid an unknown person. It is well to put one’s thoughts not on the lacks of one’s incarnation, especially when these lacks are beyond one’s control, but to focus one’s interest and energy upon the assets of the same situation. If one needs not worry about money beyond a certain point, in other words, if one values one’s life and feels that the environment of the livelihood has contributed to the illness, then it is time to use the creative energy of difficult situations to view the needs, the true needs of the social unit of which the entity is a part. It is well to meditate and find out for the self whether the lesson is to stay and learn to Love or to move towards a greater Love and faith, but with small practical and earthly expectations.
We are not those who advise reckless moves for the sake of testing the faith, yet deep within each entity there lies a sure knowledge of the rightness of each step of the life plan. Within each at this moment lies a knowledge that the entity is on the path which has been set or not. To arrive at contact with that level of self-awareness is a blessing and it is usually earned. You must seek to know yourself as if you truly and honestly like and respect yourself. You cannot plunder the self anymore than you would insult a high priestess. In each other area of practical earthly endeavor, think, meditate, and discuss with the family unit which you have made those things which are for and not for you. And then, when the thinking has been done, the centering, and the clearing, and the grasping of the feelings of the self have been accomplished, put aside the consciousness of the dying, and realize that that which is in a disease such as cancer is allowed because your emotional and mental complex were not able to Love and, instead, blocked Love in some situation. This is a mechanical rather than a judgmental description and refers to the fact that illness in general results when the body reacts to a loss of electrical and chemical balance within the body complex. The body then, as manifesting illness, is attempting to heal itself and so-called illness is, indeed, a process of health by positive and affirmative attention to the present moment the many blessings which are experienced in that moment and both the wonder and the terrible mystery of life and death.
Q’uo went on to say as we scan this instrument, we look at two providers whose families are dependent upon money earned by one potentially not able to provide, and we would speak to those who fear that there is not an availability of all things: the remembrance of friends, strangers who smile, individuals who unpredictably but generously may aid an unknown person, so it is well to put one’s thoughts not on the lacks of one’s incarnation, especially when these lacks are beyond one’s control, but to focus one’s interest upon the assets of the same situation, for if one values one’s life and feels that the environment of the livelihood has contributed to the illness, then it is time to use the creative energy of difficult situations to view the true needs of the social unit of which the entity is a part, so it is well to meditate and find out whether the lesson is to stay and learn to Love or to move towards a greater Love and faith but with small practical expectations. Q’uo continued by saying we are not those who advise reckless moves for the sake of testing faith, yet deep within each entity there lies a knowledge of the rightness of each step of the life plan, and within each at this moment lies a knowledge that the entity is on the path which has been set or has not been set, for to arrive at contact with that level of self-awareness is a blessing, and it is usually earned, so you must seek to know yourself as if you truly respect yourself, but you cannot plunder the self anymore than you would insult a high priestess, so in each other area of practical earthly endeavor, think, meditate, and discuss with your family unit those things which are for you and not for you, and when the thinking has been done put aside the consciousness of dying, and realize that which is in a disease such as cancer is allowed because your emotional and mental complex were not able to Love, and they blocked Love in some situation, for this is a mechanical rather than a judgmental description and refers to the fact that illness results when the body reacts to a loss of electrical and chemical balance within the body complex, so the body that is manifesting illness is attempting to heal itself and is a process of health by affirmative attention to the present moment of the many blessings which are experienced in that moment and both the wonder and the terrible mystery of life and death. On October 12, 1986, Latwii described the nature of the present moment:
However, as you well know the present moment is also that which is complete within itself, and in this light needs no addition from the past or from the future. The present moment may become, if it is one’s desire, a finely focused experience of all that one is, and all that one can be, and all that one has been. In this focus of experience, the full potential of one’s being is brought to bear upon one’s thinking and the boundaries or limitations of one’s thinking or one’s beliefs are offered the opportunity to expand. As one begins to create a space in experience in the present moment, which is undiluted by the past or the future, one then harvests potential. One in this harvest may become inspired by that which is and that which exists within one’s being. In such present-mentioned experiences, one may fully appreciate the completeness which is the foundation of any entity’s being.
Of course, my brother, you are aware that the meditative state is that state which offers the easiest access to such present moment experiences, for such experiences of the power of the present moment and the perfection of one’s being are those which become available to an entity when there is no coloration of past, or future, or thought of any kind to form a filter through which the present moment must be perceived. Thus, within the present moment experience one may, in a manner of speaking, not only recharge the battery of one’s personal energy, but may discover that that battery is fully charged at all times, and in this discovery and from this discovery one may then move into the daily round of activities inspired and ennobled so that the ability to utilize what has been learned is enhanced and the ability to gather further lessons available in each present moment is also enhanced. Thus, you see how the present moment is the moment of power within any seeker’s experience. Within that moment, one may turn the eyes backward, forward and may also rest the eyes within the moment of one’s being.
One may transform the experience of serious illness into the beginning of a new consciousness, one which is closer to that which may be held within the illusion you now enjoy and after you leave that same illusion. Would you wish to change personalities because you change bodies? Or would you prefer to be more and more truly yourself, more and more fully a manifestation of the truth about yourself, more and more an opening through which the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator shine forth, not to impress, but to make joyful? Perhaps we have rambled a bit this evening, my children. At times it was necessary that we say a few things quickly through this instrument that we might keep her at an appropriate level. We thank you for your patience, and it is our hope that each may see the centrality of affirming and celebrating the Creator in the self and the self in the Creator. Who each of us is, is hidden complete in who the Creator is and the truth of us is the truth of the Creator.
Let us all turn then to that great Light that shines in the darkness of ignorance and chaos which is much of the illusion about you and seize hold of the central search. Life and death mean very little compared to the song of the present, for to breathe is to sing. Each soft rustle of inhalation and exhalation makes a melody in the ether of creation and sends motes of Light in millions of directions with each breath, moving and moving the particles of Light. Each intentional prayer is a lovely song and each silence a poem. Who you are is not how you feel, what the condition of your body is, what your bank account is, or where you live. More deep ties are those of family, friend, and companion. Yet in the end, the seeker stands alone with the truth, and each seeker is as infinitely great and potentially infinitely impeccable as that great warrior, the creation Itself.
Q’uo continued by saying one may transform the experience of serious illness into the beginning of a new consciousness, one which is closer to that which may be held within the illusion you now enjoy and after you leave that same illusion, so: “Would you wish to change personalities because you change bodies? Or would you prefer to be more truly yourself, more fully a manifestation of the truth about yourself, more of an opening through which the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator shines forth, not to impress, but to make joyful?” Then Q’uo said we have rambled a bit this evening because at times it was necessary that we say a few things quickly through Carla so we might keep her at an appropriate level, and we thank you for your patience, so it is our hope that each may see the importance of celebrating the Creator in the self and the self in the Creator, for who each of us is, is hidden in who the Creator is and the truth of us is the truth of the Creator. Q’uo continued by saying let us all turn to that great Light that shines in the darkness of ignorance and chaos which is much of the illusion about you and seize hold of the search since life and death mean little compared to the song of the present, for to breathe is to sing, and each soft rustle of inhalation and exhalation makes a melody in the ether of creation and sends sparks of Light in millions of directions with each breath moving the particles of Light, and each prayer is a lovely song and each silence a poem, but who you are is not how you feel, what the condition of your body is, or where you live, so deep ties are those of family, friend, and companion, yet in the end the seeker stands alone with the truth, and each seeker is as infinitely great and impeccable as that great warrior, the Creation Itself. On August 9, 1978, Hatonn spoke of the nature of that great Light:
At one point in your evolution, my friends, you were at the farthest point from the central source, which we call Creator for want of another word. There was nothing behind and nothing in front of you when you began your travel. As you moved toward that great Light, that great central sun, Light is before you and darkness behind you. Wisdom before you and ignorance behind you. Those who wish to gain power may gain it in one of two ways—by aiding and abetting that journey towards the Light which is called good, or by, shall we say, applying the brakes in progress and attempting to reenter that portion of the cycle which has already been which is called evil.
We are those of Q’uo, and we humbly thank you for having asked us to be with you this evening. We leave our blessing and Love with each and with each about whom questions were asked and, as always, that it be understood that we are not infallible. We would attempt to open the group to questions and shall transfer to the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument with thanks and in Love and Light. I am Q’uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo and greet each again in Love and Light through this instrument. We would at this time be honored to respond to those queries which those present may have for us. May we begin with a query?
J: Is it not true that before our incarnation into this life that we choose our own death, and it could be the case that we would use cancer or some other illness as the means of our death?
I am Q’uo, and we might suggest, my brother, that there are correctnesses and incorrectnesses in the assumptions which you have made. We shall attempt to speak to this topic. It is true that those who are aware of the process of incarnation and its purpose, due to a conscious discovery of this incarnative process during an incarnation, take a more complete role in the planning of the incarnation which is to come before the incarnation. The framework for attempting certain lessons that will enrich an entity as a whole is determined as are those services which might be shared as fruit of the effort of learning with others. There are many possibilities for each incarnation in these two general realms of endeavor, that of learning and that of serving. Because free will is paramount within the incarnation, and, indeed, before, the planning must take a general form with many potential specific aspects, be they events or entities, programmed, shall we say, as possibilities and perhaps even probabilities. Many are dependent upon other choices and agreements made between entities for various times and purposes, thus there is much that is fluid and flexible, shall we say, within any incarnation that will allow for the learning of the lessons and the offering of the services.
That graduation, shall we say, from the incarnation that is called the death, in many instances is the subject of just such planning, which is to say, there is a variety of possibilities for each entity that may occur according to the completing of the overall plan for the incarnation in a more or less successful fashion. It may be said that the lessons shall continue for any entity within an incarnation until their weight grows too heavy, at which time the entity shall have planned for one means of bringing the incarnation to its culmination. This general means of ending the incarnation may be seen as a continuing effort to gain in the polarization in consciousness which has been chosen, thus when an entity is more successful, shall we say, in the overall plan and has achieved much of that which was laid out before the incarnation, it may be that one or more potential death, as you call them, experiences are presented to the entity who by its efficiency in continuing to utilize the catalyst may yet continue within the incarnation by successfully utilizing the catalyst which could have brought about that termination of the incarnation called death.
J asked: “Is it not true that before our incarnation into this life that we choose our own death, and it could be the case that we would use cancer or some other illness as the means of our death?” Q’uo replied by saying we shall attempt to speak to this topic, and it is true that those who are aware of the process of incarnation and its purpose, due to a conscious discovery of this incarnative process during an incarnation, take a complete role in the planning of the incarnation which is to come before the incarnation, so the framework for attempting certain lessons that will enrich an entity is determined as are those services which might be shared as fruit of the effort of learning with others, for there are many possibilities for each incarnation in these two realms of endeavor, that of learning and that of serving because free will is paramount within the incarnation, and the planning must take a general form with many specific aspects, be they events or entities, programmed as possibilities and probabilities, so many are dependent upon other agreements made between entities for various times and purposes, yet there is much that is flexible within any incarnation that will allow for learning the lessons and offering the services. Q’uo continued by saying that graduation from the incarnation that is called the death is the subject of such planning, and there is a variety of possibilities for each entity that may occur according to the completing of the plan for the incarnation, for it may be said that the lessons shall continue for any entity within an incarnation until their weight grows too heavy, at which time they shall have planned for one means of bringing the incarnation to its end, and the way of ending the incarnation may be seen as a continuing effort to gain in the polarization in consciousness which has been chosen, thus when an entity is more successful in the overall plan and has achieved much of that which was laid out before the incarnation, it may be that one or more potential death experiences are presented to the entity who, by its efficiency in continuing to utilize the catalyst, may continue within the incarnation by utilizing the catalyst which could have brought about that termination of the incarnation called death. On December 7, 1982, Latwii spoke of different ways that we can look at death:
Each entity is quite aware of the phenomenon of death, and has either a general type of acceptance or avoidance of that concept. Some fear the death only because it is a great mystery and the unknown often causes entities to find fear within themselves. Some fear the death because they have not yet learned to live and have not yet learned what they came to live for and are aware that the death shall come surely, and perhaps they shall not be ready. Some gladly accept their own physical departure from your illusion, for its catalyst weighs heavily upon their shoulders and they yearn only for rest. Some welcome the death because they seek another adventure and feel certain that death shall bring it. For each within your illusion there is some response to life and to death. Each is unique.
However, it may be that an entity finds some difficulty within some portion of the incarnation, perhaps through attempting to learn too rapidly certain lessons, and may take advantage of an earlier potential terminating of the incarnation through specifically planned catalyst which when unsuccessfully processed, may result in that which you call a disease and which then might end the incarnation. Each disease, as you call them, is a symbolic representation for a certain entity or perhaps a grouping of entities, of a certain kind of lesson, thus the ending of the incarnation shall come for each within your third-density illusion. Yet the ending is not necessarily that which has been chosen to unfold in one fashion only and one time only and by one means only, yet may be that which is possible after a certain point and may be possible in a continuing fashion according to the entity’s ability to continue to process the catalyst which it has provided for itself within the incarnation.
Then Q’uo said it may be that an entity finds difficulty within some portion of the incarnation through attempting to learn lessons too rapidly and may take advantage of an earlier potential in terminating the incarnation through planned catalyst which, when unsuccessfully processed, may result in disease which might end the incarnation as each disease is a symbolic representation of a certain kind of lesson for a certain entity or a grouping of entities, thus the ending of the incarnation shall come for each within your third-density illusion, yet the ending is not that which has been chosen to unfold at one time only, and by one means only, yet it may be possible in a continuing fashion according to the entity’s ability to continue to process the catalyst which it has provided for itself within the incarnation. On September 17, 1995, Q’uo spoke of how the use of catalyst well can aid one in leaving the incarnation:
The one known as Chocolate Bar, as all things in this illusion, has utilized its catalyst well and now approaches the removing of the garment of this incarnational experience, the physical vehicle which begins to deteriorate and to indicate to all who observe the ending of the incarnation. The giving of Love to this entity and the rejoicing in its presence is that which is always most helpful, whether the entity chooses to remain or to go further upon its path.
May we speak further, my brother?
J: Thank you for that answer. Why is it that some cultures on this planet are virtually free of the disease known as cancer?
I am Q’uo, and we find that this disease is one which is late to join the experience of your people upon this planetary sphere and, being of recent influence, has found its first roots within those cultures which are of a more individualized nature, shall we say. By this we mean that those entities which comprise the cultures which are most susceptible to utilizing this disease are those cultures in which the identity of the individual is more firmly fixed and exercised, so that the relationships which develop from such strongly characterized traits that form the personal identity are those relationships which partake less fully of cultural, or tribal, or primitive traditions and more fully of those situations in which emotional exercise, shall we say, is determined and amplified by individual choice. Thus, the difficulties, as you call them, which bring about the heated feelings of anger and the venting of that emotion in an uncontrolled fashion and the failure to heal those wounds which it brings about are those conditions which are most salubrious for the fostering of the condition which you call cancer.
May we speak further, my brother?
J: No, that’s all the questions that I have for now. Thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: Thank you, no questions tonight, Q’uo. Nice to hear your voice.
I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to those present for inviting our presence. We greatly enjoy the opportunity to join with this group and to speak our humble words, and we hope that we have been able to provide some small insight into those mysteries which are so great a portion of the illusion in which you find yourselves moving ever onward in the seeking of the one Creator. We shall be with you in what you call your future and look forward to each such sharing. We shall leave this group at this time, rejoicing always in the unity of thought which binds each seeker of truth. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we leave you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “The pleasures and successes of the world are as nothing compared with the joys and treasures which now unfold to us through spiritual sense. In the light of truth, the greatest earthly happiness and triumph are as nothing, whereas the treasures of Soul have a glory unknown and unfathomed by sense.
Possessing the divine Light within people gains their freedom from the world and security from all earthly or human dangers. This period holds terrors and fears for many. The spiritually illumined will recognize that because no good can come or go, that because spiritual activity is always of the nature of fulfillment, that because their illumination has revealed the reality of things, they are anchored in Soul, in God-consciousness, in spiritual peace, security, and serenity.
We will fear no change in the outer picture because the outer is but the reflection of the allness within. Safe in the realization that we are individual though infinite spiritual consciousness embodying all good, we need give no consideration to the evidence of the senses.
Spiritual illumination reveals the harmony of being and dispels the evidence of material sense. It does not change anything in the universe, for this is a spiritual universe peopled with children of God, but the illumination changes our concept of the universe.
This is but the beginning of this vast subject, and while we are discussing it, let us keep thought removed as far as possible from the world of sense and anchored in the conscious awareness of spiritual reality.”
This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food and some bird seed. My second stop was at PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Speedway Gas Station where I put 32 psi of compressed air in Stanley’s tires. When I got home, I cut some netting into two pieces of about 20’ x 3’, and then I put the two pieces of netting on top the Coleus Flowers that are growing around the giant Sycamore Tree in my backyard to keep the deer from eating any more of them. Then I put some tree limbs that fell in my backyard, and in my neighbor’s driveway, into a garbage can, and then I put the garbage can at the end of the driveway close to the road.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 27
The Myth Of Reality
I am the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and greet you in the consciousness of Love.
The myth of reality continues every moment, and you who experience this myth are hard put to see through it. Reality lies beneath the surface of outer things and beyond the meaning of minds and words. Reality is the province of the Spirit of Love. It is an invisible reality which can only manifest shadows of itself within the outer world.
As you seek to make your life more real, seek within in the innermost portion of your being, for in that stronghold the Spirit of Love holds full sway when given the opportunity.
Look, too, beyond the surface of the outer world into the realm of the beauty of meaning which lies behind what the senses may have you feel. For the Spirit is everywhere immanent, yet never fully disclosed unless one has the desire to see and hear reality.
We leave you in the profound peace of the reality of the consciousness of Love, now and ever. 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.
