I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from August 16, 1987:
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo. I greet each of you in Love and in Light, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. It gives us great pleasure to have been called to your meeting, and we rejoice to be with you to experience these quiet moments of meditation and companionship and to experience through this instrument’s senses the peaceful drowsy sounds of a summer evening. This instrument has requested that we speak loudly, and we shall attempt to do so without removing this instrument’s vocal cords completely from service. We are also happy at what this instrument terms potluck, for this, indeed, gives us the occasion to speak of those things which have not been asked, yet which may perhaps be on the mind.
We would speak with you about being and doing, two verbs that seem simple and yet are not. We, as you, are students of that great mystery which hides the face of the Creator from all of us. We, as you, seek more and more to know and to be with the Source of all that there is, the Love which created all that there is, the Light which sustains all that there is. We find great Love and harmony in being and great Love and harmony in doing, and yet the tension between those two poles of behavior and consciousness is felt by many seekers, and, indeed, can be a stumbling block, for one desires, in doing spiritual work as in any other work, to be occupied, to have accomplished something, to have gotten somewhere. Yet is consciousness ever and always at the base a being, not an activity.
As each of you came to the circle this evening that portion of yourself which is underlay but probably did not totally influence that which was being done by each, for the cares and concerns of each day are many and it seems that the less important a detail is the more time it takes to accomplish it, so that as you sat down perhaps your thoughts were scattered, pleasantly or not, but scattered, and the consciousness lay as your foundation, largely unnoticed in the flurry of activity. Then each began to merge more and more into a harmony of seeking, into a consciousness that was felt by the self and shared about the circle. This group consciousness is powerful and acts just as a search Light shining in metaphysical energy which, with many other groups such as your own, forms a pattern of Light sources upon your planet at this time.
In this session Q’uo chose to speak about being and doing. They began by saying we would speak with you about being and doing, two verbs that seem simple and yet are not, so we, as you, are students of that mystery which hides the face of the Creator from all of us, and we, as you, seek to know and to be with the Source of all that there is, the Love which created all that there is, the Light which sustains all that there is, for we find Love and harmony in being and Love and harmony in doing, yet the tension between those two poles of behavior and consciousness is felt by many seekers, and it can be a stumbling block, for one desires, in doing spiritual work as in any other work, to be occupied, to have accomplished something, to have gotten somewhere, yet is consciousness ever and always at the base a being, not an activity. Q’uo went on to say as each of you came to the circle this evening with that portion of yourself which is your support, but it did not influence that which was being done by each, for the concerns of each day are many, and the less important a detail is the more time it takes to accomplish it, so that as you sat down your thoughts were scattered, pleasantly or not, and the consciousness lay as your foundation, unnoticed in the flurry of activity, and then each began to merge into a harmony of seeking, into a consciousness that was felt by the self and shared about the circle, for this group consciousness is powerful and acts as a search Light shining in metaphysical energy which, with many other groups such as your own, forms a pattern of Light sources upon your planet at this time. On September 7, 2003, Q’uo described the nature of group consciousness:
We find this query to be a very interesting one in which we may explore an idea or two. The social memory aspect of consciousness is that which begins to explore the intimate work entities may share, one with the other, by relying upon those resources which each brings to the group consciousness. Thus, it is much more likely that the group consciousness will be informed concerning any particular point of view when there is a great variety of experiences upon which to draw, in confronting or dealing with any particular situation. We have found in our own experience that there is much of the support that may be shared in the motivation, shall we say, to explore those areas which are new to us by doing so as a group consciousness.
Now, this energy is the energy of beingness. It is your own and no one else’s. Each consciousness source in the creation is unique. Thus, it is valid always for the seeker to be attempting through all that which it does to more and more carefully choose the path of seeking, choose the way of service, and choose the source of experience so that at the end of all experience there shall be a consciousness which is more and more full of Love, more and more able to channel that great original Thought which created all, that Logos which is Love. We do not wish to speak too long to this group, for this instrument has mentally told us that an hour and a half is definitely too long. Therefore, we will content ourselves with offering a thought upon doing and a thought upon being.
My children, you live within an illusion. Your physicists will tell you this. All that looks solid is not; all that looks still is moving. Your senses participate in an illusion; thus all your doing is exercise within an illusion. This system of illusion was created in order that you may play, and work, and do all manner of activity until you have decided upon a certain choice, that choice very simply being service to others or service to self. The nature of the illusion is imperfection, thus each thing that is done within the illusion participates in imperfection. Good deeds don’t turn out right; relationships go awry; a word quickly said is long regretted. There are an infinite number of ways to make mistakes in behavior according to your own opinion of yourself. We ask you to avoid the emotion of discouragement. Perhaps the best way to avoid that is to give encouragement to others. Thus, we suggest that you Love each other and serve each other. It is an antidote for the blues, for it balances that which within you felt unbalanced. It is only our opinion, but we believe that good intentions, a true desire to do well, is far more important than how things actually come out in the illusion. So be of good cheer. We do not ask you to be silly and funny in the face of tragedy, but try to keep the light touch, for when one embarks upon the path of spiritual seeking and attempts to accelerate the pace of one’s seeking, experiences can become intense and discouragement is easy to come by.
Q’uo went on to say this energy is the energy of beingness, and it is yours and no one else’s, for each consciousness source in the creation is unique, and it is valid for the seeker to be attempting to carefully choose the path of seeking, the way of service, and the source of experience, so that at the end of all experience there shall be a consciousness which is full of Love and more able to channel that original Thought which created all, that Logos which is Love, but we do not wish to speak too long to this group, for Carla has mentally told us that an hour and a half is too long, so we will content ourselves with offering a thought upon doing and a thought upon being. Now Q’uo said you live within an illusion, and your physicists will tell you that all that looks solid is not, and all that looks still is moving, for your senses participate in an illusion, so all your doing is exercise within an illusion, and this system of illusion was created in order that you may play, and work, and do all manner of activity until you have decided upon a certain choice of being service to others or service to self since the nature of the illusion is imperfection, thus each thing that is done within the illusion participates in imperfection, and good deeds don’t turn out right; relationships go awry; a word quickly said is long regretted, yet there are an infinite number of ways to make mistakes in behavior according to your opinion of yourself, but we ask you to avoid the emotion of discouragement, for the best way to avoid that is to give encouragement to others, so we suggest that you Love each other and serve each other because it is a solution for the blues, for it balances that which within you felt unbalanced, so it is our opinion, but we believe that a true desire to do well is more important than how things come out in the illusion, so be of good cheer, but we do not ask you to be silly in the face of tragedy, but try to keep the light touch, for when one embarks upon the path of spiritual seeking and attempts to accelerate the pace of one’s seeking, experiences can become intense and discouragement is easy to come by. On June 14, 2005, Q’uo described the value of the light touch:
We leave you, reminding you, each and every one, that you are perfect, that you have arrived, that you have nowhere to go. You have only to become aware of who and where you are. Do not be deceived by the details of the illusion of the outer world. Hew only unto your inner sense of rightness and truth and remember the light touch in the midst of all your proper actions, your meditations, your service, and so forth. Remember the great healing effect of laughter. Laugh easily and laugh long, and let yourself be healed.
Now a word about being. There is a place within the mind and within the heart of each of you which the holy work called the Bible describes as the inner room, that place where you are at last alone with the self and with the Creator. Here in this meeting between yourself and the Creator lies the ground and essence of your being. Here, indeed, lies the entire universe, for each of you is a seed of the divine spark which some call Christ Consciousness. And that portion within you in the innermost space of your heart and mind is a hologram of all that there is, so that you contain the universe and all that you see dwells within you also. At that level you never learn but only remember what you already knew and recognize it once again.
We encourage and recommend the daily practice of meditation, the tabernacling in the inner room of the silent consciousness, for that consciousness touched into often enough may more and more begin to shine through that which you do that you may become radiant, a more and more pure channel for the Love of the infinite Creator. If you find it difficult to find time to do this each day, we still suggest it would be worth the effort to create a short time for touching into this consciousness. Indeed, it may be done momentarily when the clock strikes or the siren sounds at noon. Remember who you are and what you seek, and open the door to that inner room and just for a moment close it behind you and say to that great mystery which lies in darkness all round the heart, “Here am I.” The teachings of the spirit dwell in mystery and their riches are hidden in the darkness of the metaphysical universe. Yet, paradoxically, the illumination which is found in these searchings is very bright indeed. We greet you each upon the path. We are all companions. We thank you for your company and for all that you teach us, and hope that our humble thoughts may prove useful in some way to you. Please know that if any thought is not acceptable, we urge you to discard it at once, for we are those perhaps a bit further down the path than you. We have more experience, yet that has only taught us how much more there is to learn of the infinite Creator. We are companions in a great mystery, my children. May your seeking give you joy and may your path be full of Light.
Q’uo continued by saying now a word about being, so there is a place within the mind and the heart of each of you which the Bible describes as the inner room, that place where you are alone with the self and with the Creator, and here in this meeting between yourself and the Creator lies the essence of your being and the entire universe, for each of you is the Christ Consciousness, and that portion within the innermost space of your heart and mind is a hologram of all that there is, so that you contain the universe and all that you see dwells within you also, and at that level you never learn but only remember what you already knew and recognize it once again. Then Q’uo said we recommend daily meditation, the tabernacling in the inner room of silent consciousness, for that consciousness touched into may begin to shine through that you become a pure channel for the Love of the infinite Creator, but if you find it difficult to find time to do this each day, we still suggest it would be worth the effort to create a short time for touching into this consciousness, and it may be done momentarily when the clock strikes or the siren sounds at noon, so remember who you are and what you seek, and open the door to that inner room, and for a moment close it behind you and say to that great mystery which lies in darkness all-round the heart, “Here am I,” for the teachings of the spirit dwell in mystery, and their riches are hidden in the darkness of the metaphysical universe, yet the illumination which is found in this search is bright, so we greet you upon the path, for we are all companions, so we thank you for your company and for all that you teach us, and we hope that our humble thoughts are useful to you, yet know that if any thought is not acceptable, we urge you to discard it, for we are those a bit further down the path than you, and we have more experience, yet that has only taught us how much more there is to learn of the infinite Creator, so we are companions in a great mystery, and may your seeking give you joy, and may your path be full of Light. On March 25, 1989, Latwii described the great mystery:
Thus, the concept of faith must be divorced from all objective reference. One is best prepared for the death experience when one has learned to live a life in faith. Basically, this faith has no objective referent, in that the Creator is not an objective referent. This is no palpable, tangible, testable, visible Creator. Rather, the Creator is infinite intelligence, a concept which cannot fully be expressed using your language. The closest we may come to the active principle of that one great original Thought, which is the Creator in its active phase, is that inadequate word, Love. Consequently, that which one has faith in, if one must have faith in everything, is Love Itself, that which creates, that which destroys, that which is wonderful, that which is terrible, that which is all that there is.
Divine and creative Love is a great mystery. To have faith in a mystery is to truly have faith, for faith is that which does not rest upon surety, but upon things unseen, unknown and unproven. If you wish to live as a faithful person, faith works in the following way. A person of faith will, by centering oneself upon the first and great original Thought of Love, attempt to listen to those interchanges which come to one, and before responding, ask oneself, “How may I indicate compassion, support, wisdom, and understanding, and most of all, Love? How may I be of spiritual aid to this entity speaking with me?” This is the life and faith. It contains no dogma and no doctrine.
We would like to transfer this contact to the one known as Jim at this time. We are those of Q’uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and greet each again in Love and Light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to open this gathering to any queries which might be upon the mind. Again, that which we offer is but our opinion. We share it with a whole heart but with no desire to direct your steps in any way that you would not choose. Is there a query with which we might begin?
H: Yes, I have one. Would it be appropriate, or would it be selfish, to ask what the signs might be on changes to come on this new earth that we’re in now? Is that a selfish question?
I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother, and we find it is one which is much upon the minds of those who look into what you would call your future and the changing of the age, as it has been called. We find that though this curiosity is most common, that however the signs which many describe that are to usher in, shall we say, this new age and experience are often given in a manner which generates much of fear and confusion among your people, for many see as signs those things that are catastrophic upon your illusion at this time. And here we speak of the geophysical changes, and those of powers and principalities that shall rise and fall and have their day. And yet we would say to you that though much of this may, indeed, be true, the signs that should alert each seeker to the change in experience are those which are borne within the geography of one’s interior mind and being.
It cannot be said with certainty that such and such exterior events will occur at a certain time within your illusion, and yet each seeker shall in its own time experience the shifting of perceptions and desires that shall signal to it that there is a transformation within that beckons most assuredly and which will offer to each a wider point from which to view the self and the illusion and the journey through the illusion. Thus, we would say to you, my brother, that when you look outside the self and see the environment and populations of your planetary sphere changing in many various ways, that you utilize these illusory changes within your illusion as those guideposts which shall alert your inner self to that which awaits the inward eye and the renewed desire to be of service to those about you.
H asked: “Would it be appropriate, or would it be selfish, to ask what the signs might be on changes to come on this new Earth that we’re in now? Is that a selfish question?” Q’uo replied we are aware of your query, and we find it is one which is upon the minds of those who look into your future and the changing of the age, so we find that though this curiosity is common, that the signs which are to usher in this new age experience are often given in a manner which generates fear and confusion among your people, for many see those things that are catastrophic within your illusion at this time, and here we speak of the geophysical changes, and those of powers that shall rise and fall and have their day, yet we would say that much of this may be true, the signs that should alert each seeker to the change in experience are those which are borne within the geography of one’s being. Q’uo went on to say it cannot be said that exterior events will occur at a certain time within your illusion, yet each seeker shall experience the shifting of perceptions and desires that shall signal to it that there is a transformation within that beckons most assuredly and which will offer to each a wider point from which to view the self, the illusion, and the journey through the illusion, so we would say to you that when you look outside the self and see the environment and population of your planet changing in various ways, that you utilize these illusory changes within your illusion as those guideposts which shall alert your inner self to that which awaits the inward eye and the renewed desire to be of service to those about you. On January 12, 2008, Q’uo described the nature of transformation:
Transformation is a somewhat overused term among those who seek in the ways of spirit. Both your established religions and your alternative spiritual practices tend to speak of transformation, until it has almost become diminished, as a word, from having been overused.
In its roots it means to change form, to cross over from one form to another. In a different word with the same root, transformation often follows an intake of information to form new mental and emotional formations, thus precipitating the deeper self into the need to accommodate new information. By information we do not simply mean that which is taken in through the process of reading books, attending seminars, or listening to inspired speakers. We speak of the whole intake process of a working, conscious, awakened spirit in incarnation on Planet Earth.
There is a tremendous amount of information which flows into the five senses and moves through the awareness and the thought processes of each entity, all things being grist for the mill. So, transformation is a move from one stage or phase of life to another. It almost has the connotation or the inference of being that of a shape shifter, where you actually change your spiritual or metaphysical shape.
May we speak in any further fashion, my brother?
H: No, that’s enough. Thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?
Questioner: Yes, I have one. How would you thus suggest that we find our spiritual path? And our service to others?
I am Q’uo, and for such a choice, my sister, we can only recommend that that which you do is fueled by that which you desire. As you desire to know that which is a means of seeking that is your own, you can only gather that which is about you as your own experience, whether it is the interaction of self with other selves, the peace of meditation, the intellectual stimulation of a book, a program, any source of such information, then take all this into your inner room and sift it through to find what speaks to you, and as more and more speaks in a clearer and clearer fashion, then seek more of that.
And when you have found much that speaks to you, and arranged it in your thinking and in your experience as a process which is lived, then you begin to find the clues here and there within your own experience that will suggest to you the next step to take upon this journey which has no beginning, and has, in your way of looking, no end. And at some point, you will begin to feel the beingness, your own essence, awakened and quickened to the harmonic resonance of that which you have found as helpful information, and you will begin to direct in a more conscious fashion this seeking and move the focus from outside the self to within the self so that you begin to call upon those inner resources which you have gathered in many experiences before this one. And you will then begin to express in your own way the blend of that which is within and that which you have learned in outer experience. And thus, shall you build that pathway through the infinite creation that shall be your journey and your service in glorification to the one Creator.
Questioner asked: “How would you thus suggest that we find our spiritual path? And our service to others?” Then Q’uo said for such a choice we can recommend that that which you do is fueled by that which you desire, for as you desire to know a means of seeking that is your own, you can only gather that which is about you as your own experience, whether it is the interaction of self with other selves, the peace of meditation, or the intellectual stimulation of a book, then take all this into your inner room and sift it through to find what speaks to you, and as more speaks in a clearer fashion, then seek more of that. Now Q’uo said when you have that which speaks to you, and you have arranged it in your thinking and in your experience as a process which is lived, then you begin to find the clues within your experience that suggest to you the next step to take upon this journey which has no beginning and no end, and at some point, you will begin to feel your essence, awakened and quickened to the harmonic resonance of that which you have found as helpful information, and you will begin to direct this seeking and move the focus from outside the self to within the self, so that you begin to call upon inner resources which you have gathered in many experiences before this one, and you will begin to express the blend of that which is within and that which you have learned in outer experience, and you shall build that pathway through the infinite creation that shall be your journey and your service in glorification to the one Creator. On January 5, 1997, Q’uo spoke of how we can be a glorification to the one Creator:
The entity which seeks to discipline the personality, to become a metaphysical being, to exercise the way of the magician in attempting to arrive at changes in consciousness, these things are done primarily through those qualities which you have spoken of when you spoke of faith and Love.
The entity which seeks to become a metaphysical being and to exercise the expression of its personality finds in the positive polarity that the ability to Love comes forth from the primary faith that the entity has been able to nourish and to cause to grow within the self. All of these elements of the personality and the ingredients that make up the multifaceted being that each is find the necessity to give and receive Love the primary building block and energy of all creation with each portion of the life experience.
Thus, the entity who wishes to be a metaphysical personality stokes its internal furnace with faith, and the energy which is output is likened unto Love, the means by which it is done, the many facets of the personality that has been disciplined and is available as a resource, that one may write the tone poem of life with an unique and distinctive flourish, that gives a glorification to the one Creator in that it is a means by which a metaphysical entity begins to express its nature as the Creator.
May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?
Questioner: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we are grateful for your query, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: Just one, which I don’t think I’ve ever asked, but maybe this is the time. It has always seemed to me that some of the most strongly positive people that I’ve ever met were women who were full time mothers. And they just seem like beacons of Light to me. Is it possible that for them the spiritual path is doing exactly that? Staying home and raising kids, nothing glamorous—just that?
I am Q’uo, and many are the ways, my sister, in which Love may be produced and shared. There are as many as there are seekers thirsty for this Love, and each chooses a manner in which to contact the living Love, that power which sets all which is created into motion, and then to share this Love with others. The way of which you speak is one which is full of this potential.
May we speak further, my sister?
Carla: No, thanks.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you my sister. Is there another query?
[Pause]
I am Q’uo, and as it appears that we have for the nonce exhausted those queries within this circle of seeking, we shall take this opportunity to once again thank each for inviting our presence within your circle this evening. It is a great honor to join in such unified desire, and we look forward, as you would say, to each such gathering. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. At this time, we shall leave each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Healings are always in proportion to our understanding of the truth about God, people, idea, body. Healing has nothing to do with someone out there called a patient. When anyone asks for spiritual help or healing, that ends their part in what follows until they acknowledge their so-called healing. We are not concerned with the so-called patient, the claim, the cause of the illness or its nature, nor with their sins or fears. We are now concerned only with the truth of being—the truth of God, people, idea, body, The activity of this truth in our consciousness is the Christ, the Saviour, our healing influence.
Failure to heal is the result of much mis-knowledge of the truth about God, people, idea, and body, and this misknowledge stems primarily from orthodox religious beliefs which have not been rooted out of our thought. Few realize to what extent they are blinded by superstitious orthodoxy.
There is only one answer to the question, “What is God?” and that answer is, “I AM.” God is the mind and the life of the individual. Any mental hedging or inner reservation on this subject will result in ultimate failure. There is but one universal I whether it is being spoken by Jesus Christ or John Smith. When Jesus revealed, “He that seeth me seeth him that sent me,” He was revealing a universal truth or principle. There must be no quibbling about this. You either understand this truth, or you do not, and if you do not, there is no need for you to seek any further reason for failure to heal. The revelation of Jesus the Christ is clear. “I am the way the truth, and the life.” Unless you can accept this as a principle and, therefore, as the truth about you and about every individual, you have no foundation upon which to stand. The truth is that God is the mind and life of the individual. God is the only I.”
Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription.
This afternoon I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow the Sycamore tree leaves and bark to the other side of Little Locust Creek. Then I used Venus to cut the grass in my yard.
From The Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
July 30
Turn From Judgment
I greet you in the holy name of Jesus the Christ. I am the Spirit of that consciousness of divine Love which speaks to the world.
It has been some time since this instrument has opened itself to the utter peace of total non-judgment.
It is easy to see prejudice outside of the self and to recommend that prejudice be removed. The mundane justice of these thoughts comes across clearly to most seeking souls. Yet these same souls often have anger, resentment, guilt, and other negative feelings about themselves.
Does the consciousness of Love accept this prejudice of self against self? Surely not. For it is the instruction of Jesus the Christ to Love the self and the neighbor as the self.
The beginning of peace lies within, at the cessation of self-judgment and the surrendering of that un-judged, holy, and ready-to-be-potentiated self to the consciousness of compassion, joy, peace, and Love.
Turn from judgment. Live in peace. And be a Light for the world.
I leave you in peace, both now and evermore. 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
