I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from April 12, 1987:
From L and A: As the harvest approaches, and the difficult times that come with this harvest occur, how can each person be of service to others and proceed along the personal evolutionary path?
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo. I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator, and I greet each of you who are, in miniature, perfect creations of the perfect Creator. I greet you in mystery and illusion, in Love and Light, in seeking and in faith. It is a great privilege to be with you this evening, and we would not wish to allow the opportunity to go by to greet the one known as L, and to offer our Love and blessing within this entity’s vibratory patterns. It is, indeed, a great pleasure to share meditation with each, and with the entity as a group. We ask that each word that we say be taken as what it is, the concepts of seekers upon a path, offered through an instrument, nothing more. These are our opinions; we are no ultimate source. We thank you for allowing us to be of service to you, and yet the greatest service that you may do for the Creator, for us, or for yourself is carefully to discriminate. Thus, if that which we say does not ring true, we ask that it be dropped from the mind, for we would not wish to be a stumbling block to any.
The question that you have asked this night is perhaps one of the central questions which faces what this instrument would call the pilgrim in its progress. We shall answer this question in two parts. Firstly, we would address the concept of illusion and reality. Each of you awakens and sleeps. The activity during the waking hours is considered reality, whereas the occurrences dimly remembered which occur within dreams are considered illusion, interesting perhaps, but not a true history of actual events within the inner being. Yet it is difficult from a metaphysical standpoint to decide which experience might be richer, except by saying that one could not exist without the other, for both are the portions of a greater illusion which enfolds and encompasses you and the world about you. Because the entire planetary sphere dwells within one local illusion which is regular in its habitual rules of physics, it is assumed that that which is perceived by some sense constitutes reality. Within this model of the world, then, you allow yourself to be less real than the world about you, for although you are a part of the world, that which is without is greater than that which is within.
You, then, are the illusion, seeking to react appropriately to the various realities and circumstances of physical existence within third density upon your planetary sphere. The moods, the irritations, and all the frustrations of dealing with what is termed reality keep the pilgrim constantly off balance, constantly seeking the center point once again, constantly searching with one timid toe for the true fulcrum of beingness. We must admit that your illusion is difficult indeed to pierce. As one gazes upon the night sky, and upon all the things that have been discovered thus far by your people, and they are but a fraction, of course, of that which shall be discovered, it seems impossible that such a seemingly limitless and regular universe should be anything but reality. Let us take you back to the third grade, as this instrument would call it, within the school. The world was small; there was a desk, crayons, a teacher, a few friends, home, entertainment, and bedtime stories. The soul within was young and growing. You are that soul now young and still growing. Growth does not lie in reacting to the circumstances about one, but rather in becoming more real than the illusion which you see all about you.
Q’uo spoke on the concepts of illusion and reality. They began by saying the question that you have asked this night is one of the central questions which faces what Carla would call the pilgrim in its progress, and we shall answer this question in two parts, so first we would address the concept of illusion and reality, for each of you awakens and sleeps, and the activity during the waking hours is considered reality, whereas the occurrences dimly remembered which occur within dreams are considered illusion and not a true history of actual events within the inner being , yet it is difficult from a metaphysical standpoint to decide which experience might be richer, except by saying that one could not exist without the other, for both are the portions of a greater illusion which encompasses you and the world about you because the Earth dwells within one local illusion which is regular in its habitual rules of physics, and it is assumed that that which is perceived by some sense constitutes reality, yet within this model of the world you allow yourself to be less real than the world about you, for although you are a part of the world, that which is without is greater than that which is within. Q’uo went on to say you are the illusion seeking to react appropriately to the various realities of physical existence within third density upon your planetary sphere where the frustrations of dealing with reality keep the pilgrim seeking the center point once again, and we admit that your illusion is difficult to pierce, so as one gazes upon the night sky, and upon all the things that have been discovered thus far by your people they are but a fraction of that which shall be discovered, but it seems impossible that such a limitless universe should be anything but reality, so let us take you back to the third grade where there was a desk, crayons, a teacher, a few friends, and home where your soul was young and growing, yet you are that soul now young and still growing, but growth does not lie in reacting to the circumstances about one but in becoming more real than the illusion which you see about you. On October 24, 1982, Latwii described the nature of our illusion:
Each entity within your illusion has access to that which you have called the collective unconscious. Each entity by engaging in what might be called the exercise of intuition receives messages from that collective mind. Such messages are also received in meditation, in dreams and other experiences of an inspirational nature, such as visions. Within your illusion the unconscious mind of your race and of your planet awaits the penetration of the veil which separates your conscious from your unconscious mind so that each entity upon your planet has an increasingly large reservoir of information, experience, and illumination available to it which seeking might make more available as the seeking serves to penetrate the veil which withholds, shall we say, the full brilliance of being of the one Creator from each entity within your illusion.
And why are you more real than any other part of an illusion which includes you? My children, there is such a thing as consciousness because consciousness is that of the original Thought of Love, the Logos which created all that there is. This Logos dwells within and subjectively speaks to consciousness. Through consciousness it speaks to the illusion, but without the pilgrim’s becoming aware of the need to remain unattached to the illusions of circumstance, it is very difficult to become an actor, a dramatist and a critic, rather than one in the audience which reacts, laughing and crying as the scenes pass; the actors play their parts; and the flat, painted scenery slides up and down. The source of reality must lie within the self, because reality is subjective—as consciousness is subjective. You are the Creator, knowing Itself. You are also a pilgrim on the way to seeking the face of that Creator. Yet, where do you seek? Do you not seek within? Where is buried the life within you that is unaltered, the consciousness that is infinite, the spirit that is eternal, but within your own heart and mind? Thus, the greatest service which a pilgrim can perform at any time is to be, that is, to be a conscious being, an actor, seeing circumstance as illusion, but illusion rich in spiritual possibility. It is one of the clichés, shall we say, of your culture, “There but for fortune, go I.”
There are needs which may be met, whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, in almost any situation, if the observer is patient enough and careful enough in precise observation. Certain things, such as starvation, are easier to spot. Far less easy to spot are those spiritual possibilities which arise from personal discomfort of one form or another. Yet to live within an illusion is to experience discomfort. We might observe that many of your people react to circumstances in an inappropriate way. For example, this instrument has what she calls a canker sore on her tongue. It is sore, and we are aware of certain nerve endings which are activated when this instrument moves its vocal apparatus. Many of your people would avoid speaking because of the canker sore. We do not mean this literally, but as a parable. There is in almost any helpful spiritual activity, discomfort. It is the discernment of one who retains and maintains the consciousness of the Love of the one infinite Creator that is able to adjudge correctly what possibilities lie spiritually within circumstances.
Then Q’uo said there is such a thing as consciousness because consciousness is that of the original Thought of Love, the Logos which created all that there is, and this Logos dwells within and speaks to consciousness, and through consciousness it speaks to the illusion, but without the pilgrim’s becoming aware of the need to remain unattached to the illusions of circumstance it is difficult to become an actor rather than one in the audience which reacts as the scenes pass, so the actors play their parts, and the scenery slides up and down, but the source of reality lies within the self because reality is subjective just as consciousness is subjective, for you are the Creator knowing Itself, and you are also a pilgrim on the way to seeking the face of that Creator, yet: “Where do you seek? Do you not seek within? Where is buried the life within you that is unaltered, the consciousness that is infinite, the spirit that is eternal, but within your own heart and mind?” Then Q’uo said the greatest service which a pilgrim can perform is to be a conscious being seeing circumstance as illusion but illusion rich in spiritual possibility, for it is one of the clichés of your culture, “There but for fortune, go I.” Q’uo continued by saying there are needs which may be met whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, and if the observer is patient enough in precise observation things such as starvation are easier to spot than are spiritual possibilities which arise from personal discomfort of one form or another, yet to live within an illusion is to experience discomfort, so we observe that many of your people react to circumstances in an inappropriate way such as Carla who has a canker sore on her tongue, and we are aware of certain nerve endings which are activated when she moves her tongue, yet many of your people would avoid speaking because of the canker sore, so there is discomfort in any helpful spiritual activity, and it is the discernment of one who maintains the consciousness of the Love of the one infinite Creator that is able to judge what possibilities lie spiritually within circumstances. On September 21, 1986, Hatonn spoke of the Love of the one infinite Creator:
We do suggest that you attempt to spend some minutes of your time each day in meditation. No matter what else you may do during the day, silent meditation is the most efficient tool for seating within you the awareness of the Love of the Creator. When you dwell within that consciousness, you are no longer working under your power, a power which fails much like batteries fail and which must be replaced by your sleeping periods. No, meditation is much like finding the electrical cord for constant power. It may flow through you, then, and not from you, and you will be far more radiant and able to dwell in the consciousness of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.
We would now move on to the second portion of the question. We are aware that each is concerned, as well as hopeful, about the coming of a new age, the arrival of fourth density, and the beginning of a new spiritual climate of Love and understanding. May we say that the probabilities are that in the last decade of third density within your planetary sphere there shall be some discomfort from one source or another. Yet the greatest discomfort of all shall be the agony of those who, not knowing where the source of being is, have not sought it, and, more, thirst for that which they know not but would have. It is in those times that entities will remember the one who smiled and exhibited the lively grace of peace and joy. Simple lovingness is perhaps the greatest gift which one can give to another or to God. It is appropriate for the beginning of fourth density that those entities which wish to be of help in the harvest allow the natural formation of communities and groups in order that the source of consciousness may be sought by a group which then encourages each other, thus beginning, just beginning, the establishment of group mind. It is not to be expected that in third-density physical vehicles entities will achieve other than momentarily the consciousness of total oneness.
However, the feelings which many among your people have of forming close alliances with a few and being in communication with many, these impulses are good. They speak to a reality which has its source in the perfect nature of the unfoldment of creation, which is ongoing. It may seem at times as if every entity was a seeker, and the world, which you know, is populated far too thickly with various believers in mutually contradictory things. Nevertheless, all of these entities are too few. We do not yet feel that there is a decisive strength of consciousness in a group sense. Thus, we encourage those who are drawn to groups to be aware of the possibilities and advantages of spiritual work together, for encouragement is very helpful to the faltering wayfarer. This is especially true because the single greatest source of centering, learning, and transformation is that which is the hardest for your peoples, the stilling of the physical body, the mind, and the heart in order that the seeking will may open the door to the one infinite Creator in meditation. It is most important that this be done as regularly as possible.
Now Q’uo spoke to the second part of the group question of how seekers can be of service to others as the fourth density approaches. They said we would now move on to the second portion of the question, and we are aware that each is concerned about the arrival of fourth density and the beginning of a new spiritual climate of Love and understanding, so we say that the probabilities are that in the last decade of third density there shall be some discomfort from one source or another, yet the greatest discomfort of all shall be the agony of those who, not knowing where the Source of being is have not sought it, and they thirst for that which they know not, for it is in those times that entities will remember the one who smiled and shared the grace of peace and joy, for simple lovingness is the greatest gift which one can give to another or to God, so it is appropriate for the beginning of fourth density that those entities which wish to be of help in the harvest allow the natural formation of groups in order that the Source of consciousness may be sought by a group which encourages each other, thus beginning the establishment of a group mind, but it is not to be expected that in third-density bodies entities will achieve other than momentarily the consciousness of total oneness. Q’uo went on to say the feelings which many among your people have of forming alliances with a few and being in communication with many are good, for they speak to a reality which has its Source in the perfect nature of the unfoldment of creation, but it may seem at times as if every entity was a seeker, and your world is populated too thickly with various believers in mutually contradictory things, yet all of these entities are too few, so we we encourage those who are drawn to groups to be aware of the advantages of spiritual work together since encouragement is helpful to the faltering wayfarer, and this is true because the source of learning and transformation is that which is the hardest for your peoples: the stilling of the body, the mind, and the heart in order that the seeking will open the door to the one infinite Creator in meditation, so it is important that this be done as regularly as possible. On September 27, 1981, Hatonn said that we can become one with the Creator in meditation:
We and our brothers and sisters of the Confederation offer our messages of Love and Light as a comfort and an inspiration to those of your planet who call for our service. In joy do we offer this service; in Love do we send our thoughts; in Light do we experience the oneness of the Creator. All of this we offer as a service to your people.
There is also another source which you may find that may also be described as the Comforter, spoken of by the entity called Jesus. This source may be found by each entity so seeking in meditation, for as you still your mind, as you open your heart and as you open your innermost being to the Creator in Love, there shall you find that small, still voice within, which shall also be of great comfort to you as you proceed on that path of spiritual evolution.
We of Hatonn have through many instruments and in many of your meditations spoken of the necessity for meditation for those who wish to seek the Creator. Within meditation shall you find the Creator. Within meditation shall you find the fruits of your labor of evolution.
Your monasteries are built for just such purpose, yet you will notice that they are walled, and do not permit the entrance of strangers for the most part, but rather live a self-contained life, praying and offering in service to the Creator. Some of you have been called to such a solitary and worshipful existence. However, it is well that each consider what he or she may feel encouraged within to attempt or accomplish, for not all who are, shall we say, spiritually oriented as most, would wish to manifest as such, but would rather, instead, manifest without the identity, the authority, and the respect that is given to those who are considered to be more devout. Many are called to be parents, homemakers, mechanics, factory workers, and all the other careers, professions, and jobs, all the ways to sustain life with your money and to enrich life with Love. There is no circumstance which is better or best for the furthering of service to others at this time. You must listen, each to their own subjective consciousness, with discrimination and with care, but also, in the end, with trust and faith.
Thus, we say, in order to best work as harvesters in the valley of the shadow of death, it is best to behave, within limits, as you would if there were no valley, no shadow, and no death, for all these are illusions, and only beingness actually exists. You contain that beingness, your eyes, your mouth, and your hands manifest it to others. Every look, smile, word, and touch conveys to those about you that consciousness which lies within, and through all the illusion, within illusion, within illusion which passes for conversation amongst your peoples, the thread of consciousness sings its true song betwixt each two people. And in the sensitive one, the one who is ready to be harvested, that shall be the gift that shall have infinite meaning, that shall be too dear for any price. Thus, meditate, find the center, and be who you are. The rest shall occur one moment at a time. May you look upon all things spiritually, which is to say, without prejudice and with humor, for if consciousness delights in one thing, it is itself. May you enjoy and rejoice in your consciousness. May you throw open the door to gladness and creation. May you live in the present moment and be, before, during and after each thing that you do.
Q’uo went on to say your monasteries are built for such a purpose, yet you will notice that they are walled and do not permit the entrance of strangers, but they live a self-contained life, praying and offering in service to the Creator, and some of you have been called to such a solitary and worshipful existence, but it is well that each consider what he or she may feel encouraged within to attempt, for not all who are spiritually oriented would wish to manifest as such but would rather manifest without the respect that is given to those who are considered to be more devout, so many are called to be parents, mechanics, factory workers, and all the other careers and ways to sustain life with your money and to enrich life with Love, but there is no circumstance which is best for the furthering of service to others, so you must listen to your subjective consciousness with care, but also with trust and faith. Now Q’uo said in order to best work as harvesters in the valley of the shadow of death, it is best to behave as you would if there were no valley, no shadow, and no death, for all these are illusions, and only beingness actually exists, and you contain that beingness in your eyes, your mouth, and your hands that manifest it to others, for every smile, word, and touch conveys to those about you that consciousness which lies within, and through all the illusion which passes for conversation among your people, the thread of consciousness sings its true song betwixt each two people, and in the one who is ready to be harvested, that shall be the gift that shall have infinite meaning, that shall be too dear for any price, so meditate and be who you are, and the rest shall occur one moment at a time, so may you look upon all things spiritually, without prejudice and with humor, for if consciousness delights in one thing, it is itself, and may you rejoice in your consciousness, and may you live in the present moment and be before, during, and after each thing that you do. On January 25, 1987, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our beingness:
We would suggest that it be remembered at all times that one moves within the limitless Love of the Creator within this illusion in order that through your experience the Creator might become aware of the possibilities for Love to be placed in situations that will require an increased experience of Itself in order to uncover that Love which has been carefully hidden. Thus does the Creator find Its beingness expressed in your experience in manners vivid and pure as a result of the constant effort to uncover Its own face through your efforts.
Thus does the Creator move within the tiniest, the grandest, the most joyful and the most difficult of circumstances in order to enable each seeker at every portion of its journey to both become aware of the ever-present sustenance of the Love of the Creator when appropriate and also to find those times within the experience of an incarnation when the price, shall we say, for such joyful discovery is far greater in order that that discovery might be imbedded more deeply and securely within the seeker’s total being. Thus, one may see a relationship evolve in which the more difficult seeking provides the opportunity for the more deeply experienced and securely seated revelation of Love and unity which ever underlie all experience. Thus, that which is cheaply bought is easily forgotten; that which bears the greater price is that which remains as sure foundation stones upon further experience and service of the One is possible.
You will notice we said nothing whatsoever about survival. There is much material in this entity’s mind upon that subject, and we find that it colors the question within the questioner’s minds also. Thus, in closing, we would briefly address this. We ask that you realize that there is no such thing as survival, for the entire incarnation is an illusion. You are at this moment deeply, deeply asleep, and attempting to sleep-walk, that in your somnambulation you may struggle in the darkness to see a chair for a chair, and not a bear, a mirror for a mirror, and not a flame. May your hearts be light.
Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying you will notice we said nothing about survival, so there is much material in Carla’s mind upon that subject, and we find that it colors the question within the questioner’s mind also, an in closing we would briefly address this, so we ask that you realize that there is no such thing as survival, for the entire incarnation is an illusion, and you are deeply asleep, and attempting to sleep-walk, that in your sleepwalking you may struggle in the darkness to see a chair for a chair, and not a bear, a mirror for a mirror, and not a flame, so may your hearts be light. On May 1, 1983, Hatonn spoke of how our hearts may be light:
Therefore, my friends, let your hearts be light, and your voices merry, and never feel that you have reached the last resort as you communicate. Simply remember that whatever it is that you are holding in your hands, or in your heart, or in your mind can be safely given away. That is how one Loves by action. You are blessed with infinity. Whatever you give away is yours again in infinite supply. We ask that you come out of meditation with a thought for the joy of giving. Imagine how surprised a burglar would be if he came to your house and you said, “My friend, my brother, take all that I have. Take my shoes. I have more.” Such an attitude can convey more to one who needs to speak with you than all the fine speeches in the world. Whoever is performing has a mask beneath which lies the eyes of the Creator. Communicate with that Creator and cease not to meditate in order that your contact with infinite Love may always be free-flowing so that you may touch it and it may touch others.
We would leave this instrument in order that we may transfer to the one known as Jim. We thank each for sharing with us this energy. We are known to you as Q’uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo and greet each again in Love and Light through this instrument. We are honored at this time to have the opportunity to ask if there may be further queries to which we may respond. Is there a query at this time?
Carla: I have one that I didn’t want to ask as a group question, but I’ve been wondering about because of M’s objections to marriage. Is there something intrinsically negative in a marriage contract? And if so, is it possible to transform the energy into positive energy?
I am Q’uo, and we look upon this query as one which reflects the attitude of the culture in which you find yourselves pursuing your evolution. It is within the confines of the gathering of goods, and affections, and promises in which one who desires to enter a mated relationship will bring the conditioning which it has learned, and in the mated relationship one will continue to pursue the gathering of obligations and collecting to the self of that which is considered valuable or desirable.
We find that within your culture there is the basic gathering instinct that has been somewhat distorted, so that the giving unto another freely and joyfully is not that which is naturally exercised. Thus, there is within many cultures of your planetary sphere the desire to better the self, with secondary concern for others. This basic desire is that which is worked upon by all who seek to move the self along the path of evolution, for it is the turning outward of the focus of the attention that allows an entity to widen the point of view to the degree necessary for embarking upon a service-to-others path in an harvestable fashion. Thus, if it can be held uppermost within the mind that to give of the self in each situation which is shared with the mate, and others as well, this basic condition which focuses upon the self may become transmuted so that the radiance of the self becomes apparent.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: No, I’ll study that when I get the transcript back, thank you. But I have another question on another topic. It was just a follow up to the channeling before. As I was listening to myself channel, I kept waiting for the part where it got to what the person did for their own personal spiritual evolvement. Everything that was said was about service to others and being and meditating so that you could be there, so that you could smile, and people would remember, and they would come to you when they were disturbed by signs of the end of the age. But you never said anything about how to move ahead in your personal evolvement. Did you mean to assume that if you were serving others, you would…
[Tape ends.]
This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Heretofore, we have sought our happiness in the objective universe, in person, place, or thing. Now, through spiritual sense, Soul-sense, the whole world tends to bring its gifts to us—though no longer through desire for persons and things, but merely through the avenue of these. In the material sense, people and things are the objectives—that which we desire. Through Soul-sense, our good unfolds from within us, although appearing as person and improved condition. Soul-sense does not deprive us of the friends and family and comforts of human existence but brings them more surely to us on a higher and more beautiful and permanent level of consciousness.
For many centuries, attention has been centered on Jesus Christ as the Saviour of humanity, and during these centuries the spiritual sense of life has fluctuated from one extreme to another of Light and darkness. A sixteenth century teacher has written: “Christ Jesus calls Himself the Light of the world, but He also tells His disciples that they too are the Light of the world. All Christians in whom the Holy Ghost lives—that is, all real Christians—are one with Christ in God and are like Christ Jesus. They will, therefore, have similar experiences, and what Christ Jesus did, they will do also.”
Our task is the realization of the Christ of our own consciousness. We acknowledge with joy and deep Love the measure of the Christ attained not only by Jesus, but by many spiritual seers and prophets of all ages. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the measure of the Christ manifested by so many men and women of today. We now look forward to the realization of the Christ of our own consciousness. “The kingdom of God is in you, and those who search for it outside of themselves will never find it, for apart from God no one can either seek or find God, for those who seek God, already in truth have God.”
This morning I went outside and hand-weeded the Ruins Mound Flower Garden beside the driveway.
This afternoon I was honored to be the co-host of the European Law of One Telegraph Group. I read Ra Session #80, and some of the questions I was asked were: “Who are Ra’s teachers, and how do they teach?” “Why did Ra say that they send Love to 90% of the creation when the creation is infinite?” “Where was Carla during the Ra sessions?” “Did Ra send individual entities from the Ra social memory complex to other major galaxies?” “What is the purpose of the review of the incarnation after the death of our bodies?” “What do I learn from the sun?” and “What density wanderers were Don, Carla, and I?” I really enjoyed sharing my opinion in my answers to all of these questions, and I look forward to our next session when we will be studying Ra Session #81.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
July 8
Pray And Release
I come to speak with the voice of Jesus the Christ to the world. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
There are the tears unshed, the concern and the worry within this instrument this day, concern for family members whose health has been compromised. And so this pilgrim makes the same error as many: thinking to take up the cross of Christ and follow Him, instead this seeker takes up the cross of worry and follows the illusions of the world.
Let the tears unshed become the prayers said. Let prayers said be prayers felt, prayers meant, prayers realized.
Then let the seeking soul be at rest, for all burdens are not the Spirit’s to carry. The function of the Comforter is to hear that which has been said and to submit it to the greater will.
With the prayer said, it has been done. It may be released. It may be trusted. And consolation and peace may come to that spirit which knows that the higher will has now been invoked through Jesus the Christ.
We urge you to pray, to release the prayer, and then to be, at last, in perfect peace, 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 the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
