I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from September 6, 1987:
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo. I greet each of you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is truly meat and drink to us to share consciousness with you as you sit in the circle of honest seeking, together unified by desire and by Love. How fortunate we are to have been called to share this experience with you and to share a few thoughts. We would especially like to welcome the one known as H, who is new to us, but not by any means new to this Light group or to the persistent seeking of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We Love and bless each of you and ask that as we offer opinion, you take what is useful and leave the rest behind.
This evening we find within the group questions upon the mind, questions of time and purpose, money and suffering, questions of how best to pursue the road of learning, of seeking that point of view which may yield contact with Love itself, with that fuller consciousness that embraces, accepts, and grasps the unity of all things. Time seems to be inexorable in its demands upon the seeker’s time. Busy time upon busy time seems to flow within your experience, and there seems to be no respite from the chores and the details to be seen to which constitute the mundane day-to-day living experience. Were it not necessary to house, and clothe, and feed the physical vehicle which manifests for you within this illusion, time would be your plaything, utterly free. Yet that which is utterly free is often discounted.
Yet there is a way of gazing upon the day-to-day experience which can create a double perception within the self, that most complex of entities. The time in its mundane river-like existence of earthly things moves on inexorably, rhythmically, cyclically and sweeps all of immediacy before it. Yet there is another kind of time. It is the time of the timeless moment, a moving vertically upward and downward upon the moment to feel the echoes of Love, meaning, and manifestation in one moment that removes from time its horizontal inexorability, its forced progress, and makes for the seeker opportunities of timelessness. One may seek through meditation to still the inexorable march of moments and minutes, and minutes into hours, hours into days, and days into years, for within meditation vertical time, or time/space, is available. Time itself may be stopped within the consciousness of the deep mind, and in that moment of timelessness, that within you which is real beholds the mystery, face-to-face. What matters it if the face of mystery is dark and the mystery only deepens as one spends more and more time in communion with the absolute?
In this session Q’uo spoke of questions upon the mind, questions of time and purpose, money, and suffering. They began by saying we find within the group questions upon the mind, questions of time and purpose, money and suffering, questions of how best to pursue the road of learning, of seeking that point of view which may yield contact with Love, with that consciousness that accepts the unity of all things, for time seems to be unstoppable in its demands upon the seeker’s time, so busy time flows within your experience, and there seems to be no relief from the details which constitute the day-to-day living experience, yet were it not necessary to house, clothe, and feed the physical body which manifests for you within this illusion, time would be your free plaything, yet that which is free is often discounted. Q’uo went on to say there is a way of gazing upon the day-to-day experience which can create a double perception within the self, so time in its mundane river-like existence of earthly things moves on without stopping and sweeps all immediacy before it, yet there is another kind of time, and it is the time of the timeless moment, a moving vertically upward and downward upon the moment to feel the echoes of Love that removes from time its forced progress, and makes for the seeker opportunities of timelessness, for one may seek through meditation to still the unstoppable march of time, for within meditation vertical time, or time/space, is available, for it may be stopped within the consciousness of the deep mind, and in that moment of timelessness, that within you which is real beholds the mystery, face-to-face, so what matters if the face of mystery is dark, and the mystery only deepens as one spends more time in communion with the absolute? On March 30, 1993, Hatonn described meditation as the way that we can begin to solve the mystery of the Creator:
We continually suggest that entities meditate upon a regular basis in order that the stabilizing quality of establishing a link with the mystery of the One Creator be available to each in times of great turmoil, both from within and from without; for in the meditative stance, one is able to begin to perceive the unified relationship of all things, and to begin to perceive the nature of one’s own being as an integrated and whole entity, reflected perfectly in the unity of the One Creator. For each entity is a facet of this great jewel, and each entity must needs retreat to that silent room within, daily, in a place reserved only for this pursuit, and with a desire to seek purely, that connection with the Divine.
Meditation offers the most available access to the everlasting waters that can quench all thirst. We heartily and happily continue to recommend meditation to all who feel any desire to seek beyond the illusion and feel any need to find a peace within that can surpass all understanding from without.
The practice of timelessness begins, after many repetitions of visits to this point of view, to unfold for the seeker an unlimited point of view, a point of view that sees the mundane limitations and necessities of the everyday life, yet dwells as a native son or daughter in that kingdom where Love abides without the mask of illusion. Time is a difficult subject upon which to speak, yet those within the circle seek knowledge of how better to use their time, of how better to dwell with ultimate reality, even within the illusions of third-density life. Therefore, we tackle the subject. Perhaps the crux of pondering upon time lies in one’s conclusion about the absolute. It is a principle by which we live that there is an absolute and unchangeable reality which undergirds and holds together all creations, all of the infinity of illusions and all consciousness. It is our opinion that we came or were created from the very stuff of reality: absolute, infinite, unchanging, unpotentiated, passive and final reality. This reality has seemed to us to bear a certain character: that character is Love.
The reality which indwells each created consciousness is of a nature which is infinitely creative, infinitely free, which retains in its original and undifferentiated form that quality of Love which cannot be given or shared in words, but only caught as a shadow, a hint, an insinuation by inspired turn of phrase or sudden realization within the seeker’s deep heart or mind. It is our opinion that it is possible and profitable for seekers of the truth about the nature of creation to seek persistently, comfortably, and with the Light touch that mysterious reality which undergirds all the myriad of illusions of which your Earth plane is but one. The challenge which you face within the third-density illusion is the challenge of one whose eyes are covered, whose ears are stopped, whose mouth is without speech. By persistent and loving seeking, by the desire to know and to feel the Love of the infinite Creator, the seeker may experience timelessness and the strength of the ultimate reality of perfect Love. Yet what fruit can the seeker produce as a result of this contact? For he has seen things which he could not see; he has heard that which no ear has heard; he has spoken in communion with Love which is always and always creative. And so, you find entity upon entity attempting each in its own way to describe the undescribable, to move into horizontal time the vertical timelessness of the awareness of the infinite Creator.
Then Q’uo said the practice of timelessness begins to unfold for the seeker an unlimited point of view that sees the mundane limitations of the everyday life, yet it dwells as a native son or daughter in that kingdom where Love abides without the mask of illusion, but time is a difficult subject upon which to speak, yet those within the circle seek knowledge of how to use their time better, of how dwell with ultimate reality within the illusions of third-density life, and the key of pondering upon time lies in one’s conclusion about the absolute, for it is a principle by which we live that there is an unchangeable reality which holds together all creations, all of the infinity of illusions and all consciousness, so it is our opinion that we were created from the very stuff of reality: infinite, unchanging, and final reality, and this reality bears a certain character: that character is Love. Q’uo continued by saying the reality which dwells in each created consciousness is of a nature which is infinitely creative and retains in its original form that quality of Love which cannot be given or shared in words, but only caught as a sudden realization within the seeker’s deep heart or mind, and it is our opinion that it is possible for seekers of the truth about the nature of creation to seek persistently and with the Light touch, that mysterious reality which undergirds all illusions of which your Earth plane is but one, and the challenge which you face within the third-density illusion is the challenge of one whose eyes are covered, whose ears are stopped, whose mouth is without speech, but by seeking to feel the Love of the infinite Creator, the seeker may experience timelessness and the strength of the ultimate reality of perfect Love, and you have seen things which you could not see; you have heard that which no ear has heard; and you have spoken in communion with Love which is always creative, so you find entity upon entity attempting to describe the undescribable, to move into horizontal time the vertical timelessness of the awareness of the infinite Creator. On March 5, 2011, Q’uo spoke of how we can feel the awareness of the infinite Creator:
Silence seems to be an absence of sound. Yet in actuality silence is the medium necessary for information to flow from the energies and essences of spirit into your waking consciousness. It is powerful. We do not encourage a sudden immersion in silence but rather the putting of the toe in the water, shall we say, five minutes here and five minutes there. Yet we would encourage you to do this frequently, so that you keep moving back to the silence that offers you your most powerful awareness of the infinite Creator.
It is necessary to avail yourself of the Creator’s vibration, which you may do at any time that you fall into the silence with the intention of seeking the one Creator. That which comes to you in that state of silence may not be anything of which you are aware consciously. However, you may trust that you are receiving information that will expand and transform you. And you, each of you, by your energy, your essence, your characteristic vibration, have that wonderful capacity to encourage and support the awakening of others.
Until the moment when your physical body stops breathing and you move on into larger life, you have the opportunity and the capability of serving the infinite Creator powerfully and meaningfully. As you craft your life, as you take care with integrity and a keen ethical eye for polarity, you are not only working upon yourself, you are changing the world. You can’t see it, you can’t prove it, but one logical inference from the statement, “All is One,” is that all things that are apparently separate are actually connected.
We urge each of you to value those moments of inspired verticality when you may seize one precious moment and gaze up and down and all about you, knowing that at that moment, by desire you stand upon holy ground. And you may hear, and see, and feel infinity and be overwhelmed by the joy of that one moment. What may that moment be: the call of a bird, the striking of a clock, the red light in traffic, the moment with a fellow seeker when a glance is exchanged and mutual gifts given. Within the everyday life there is no moment which does not contain the possibility of this union with timelessness, and the more you hunger for that which is real, the more motivated you may be to take with rejoicing those moments which are yours, gifts from the hullabaloo of a busy life, and in that one moment, by will and faith, see and acknowledge the contact of the small self and that great Self which is Love, Love undivided, Love coherent, Love creative, Love unending.
My children, may we say each of you has gifts to give to each other, gifts to give to humankind. There are those things which you, before your incarnations, have planned to do in the service of the one infinite Creator. Please know that the very first of those things which each seeking soul hopes to do while in the manifestation of human consciousness is to become a channel for Love, that others trapped in the mire of earthly time may have their despair turned to hope by seeing and sensing what they cannot explain: that Light within your eyes which speaks of a happy and sweet union with infinite Love. The Light from the eye of one who has spent time in the presence of that mysterious and unknowable Creator can be startling, but always is that which is a channel for renewal of hope and faith in others.
Q’uo continued by saying we urge each of you to value those moments of inspired verticality when you may seize one precious moment and gaze up and down and all about you, knowing that at that moment, by desire you stand upon holy ground, and you may hear, see, and feel infinity and be overwhelmed by the joy of that moment, so that moment may be the call of a bird, the striking of a clock, the moment with a fellow seeker when a glance is exchanged and mutual gifts given, for within everyday life there is no moment which does not contain the possibility of this union with timelessness, and the more you hunger for that which is real, the more motivated you may be to take, with those moments which are yours, gifts from the busy life, and in that moment, by will and faith, acknowledge the contact of the small self and that great Self which is Love, Love creative, and Love unending. Q’uo continued by saying each of you has gifts to give each other, and there are those things which you, before your incarnations, have planned to do in the service of the one infinite Creator, so know that the first of those things which each seeking soul hopes to do while in the manifestation of human consciousness is to become a channel for Love, that others trapped in the mire of earthly time may have their despair turned to hope by sensing what they cannot explain: that Light within your eyes which speaks of a sweet union with infinite Love and the Light from the eye of one who has spent time in the presence of that mysterious Creator can be startling, but always is that which is a channel for renewal of hope and faith in others. On October 15, 1980, Latwii spoke of how we can become a channel for Love:
The one known as Monka spoke of a cosmic mirror and the eye as the symbol of all that there is. If you look into the mirror, you see yourself as you really are. But most cannot look into that mirror, even into their own eyes, for they become quite frightened. Therefore, it is a very strong allegory for the great oneness of humanity. To Love oneself fully is to know without mercy the folly of the depths of one’s heart. It is to know and accept without mercy the deepest and most degrading parts of one’s being.
For they are not fantasies, my brother. They are all being acted out against the stage of this experience on your sphere of existence at this time. As we speak to you in cosmic gentleness, many terrible things occur. At this very moment, can you cry mercy? No, my brother. You must stand without sympathy and accept the totality of your being and then pour Love from the Creator into that world, into that merciless darkness, with every iota of your being.
For only when you know total mercilessness, in your estimation of the situation of your being, can you be truly a channel for Love. Spirits are lovely but the sturdy who stand astride the world of illusion, of pain, of limitations of all kinds, and against that illusion take up the sword of Love. Ah, my brother, there is the soldier that shall conquer in the name of Love. We hope that this elucidates the theme of those of Monka.
It is a paradox, yet it is true that when you seek to advance in knowledge of the one infinite Creator, the progress of that seeking is marked not so much by one’s own realizations, but by the degree of generosity with which those moments of companionship with the divine source have been shared in the life experience with others. Think over your experiences of this day. Were there times when a realization of Love could have been shared by a smile, a touch, an understanding ear, a caring heart, that were missed? “Lay up for yourselves,” it is said in one of your holy works, “treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not corrupt nor thieves break in and steal.” You, my children, dwell in two realities—the apparent reality of time and the immanent and overshadowing reality of timeless infinity, an infinity made of Love. How we with our free will have distorted that Love, yet in each moment there is the same complete possibility for intimate contact with infinite Love. We urge you, then, not only to meditate within each day, but to choose moments within the busiest of your hours wherein you sink into the verticality of timelessness for one instant and see that each entity and thing which you behold is beautiful, perfect, and lovely.
With this point of view, the knotty and insoluble problems of one day or another may be seen again and again in timeless moments as configurations of energy wherein there is a challenge to learn a lesson about Love. Sometimes the lesson seems simple, sometimes heart-rendingly difficult, yet with the point of view available to you of timelessness, you may see at the very least the inner reality of infinite Love within troublesome entities with whom you are in relationship and within situations which seem troublesome. This means not that you can become a happy person with no problems, for it is not for this that you chose to come into incarnation at this time, but rather it is that you may begin to feel the deep celestial rhythms of a cosmic point of view which sees patterns extending from incarnation to incarnation and from creation to creation. The generosity of the infinite Creator we feel to be overwhelming in offering with each lesson that is to be learned about Love, that cleft in the rock, that safe hiding place where one may dwell with the Infinite and fly with the wings of immortality. This you may do in but an instant. This you may do because your deeper nature is already timeless.
Now Q’uo said it is a paradox, yet it is true that when you seek to advance in knowledge of the one infinite Creator, the progress of that seeking is marked not so much by one’s own realizations, but by the degree of generosity with which those moments of companionship with the divine Source have been shared in the life experience with others, so think over your experiences of this day, and: “Were there times when a realization of Love could have been shared by a smile, a touch, an understanding ear, a caring heart, that were missed?” Then Q’uo said “Lay up for yourselves,” it is said in one of your holy works, “treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not corrupt nor thieves break in and steal,” for you dwell in two realities: the apparent reality of time and the overshadowing reality of timeless infinity, an infinity made of Love, and we with our free will have distorted that Love, yet in each moment there is the possibility for intimate contact with infinite Love, so we urge you, not only to meditate within each day, but to choose moments within the busiest of your hours where you sink into the verticality of timelessness for one instant and see that each entity and thing which you behold is perfect and lovely. Then Q’uo said with this point of view, the difficult problems of any day may be seen again in timeless moments as configurations of energy wherein there is a challenge to learn a lesson about Love, but sometimes the lesson seems simple, sometimes difficult, yet with the point of view available to you of timelessness, you may see at the inner reality of infinite Love within troublesome entities with whom you are in relationship and within situations which seem troublesome, so this means not that you can become a happy person with no problems, for it is not for this that you chose to come into incarnation at this time, but it is that you may begin to feel the deep celestial rhythms of a cosmic point of view which sees patterns extending from incarnation to incarnation and from creation to creation, and the generosity of the infinite Creator is overwhelming in offering with each lesson that is to be learned about Love, that safe hiding place where one may dwell with the Infinite and fly with the wings of immortality, so this you may do in an instant because your deeper nature is timeless. On August 4, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our being timeless:
That moment of cessation, when the breath is expelled and there is no immediate need to take another breath, is a vacation from being physical. It is an entry into timelessness, infinity and eternity. It is not complete, in that the heart remains beating, and the pulse is flowing through the body. But when it occurs, whether naturally or through yogic exercise, it is an opportunity for the experience of the timeless. There is a tremendous peace and release when it is unnecessary to breathe in or breathe out, and even if it occurs for an instant, it is a precious and helpful resource to the serious seeker to experience that cessation of the breath.
My children, we ask you to Love one another, for it is in the practice of offering Love to others, to situations, and to life itself that you, yourself, become aware of the incredible sea of Love in which the universe swims. It is those who keep the Love inside that never experience infinite Love in its fullness. Thus, you may be the bringer of a sense of wonder, and Love, and peace to another, and though you wish only to be one who serves and gives Love, it is then that you shall receive in overflowing measure the reflection of your service, for Love returns and becomes a marvelous infinitely complex circle or net of shared energy. Each of you has the opportunity to form the bond of infinite Love with all portions of the illusion you experience, that which you call the natural world—the world of unseen things, wind, thunder, intelligence without bodies. And you, having taken on the physical chemical body of illusion, move into worlds and can reach into the Earthly world as a light bringer, a Love giver and a Love sharer.
Q’uo finished their thoughts by saying we ask you to Love one another, for it is in the practice of offering Love to others, to situations, and to life that you become aware of the sea of Love in which the universe swims, and it is those who keep the Love inside that never experience infinite Love in its fullness, so you may be the bringer of a sense of Love and peace to another, and though you wish only to be one who serves and gives Love, it is then that you shall receive in the reflection of your service, for Love returns and becomes a complex circle of shared energy, and each of you can form the bond of Love with all portions of the illusion you experience, the natural world of wind, thunder, and intelligence without bodies, but you, having taken on the physical chemical body of illusion, move into worlds and can reach into the Earthly world as a Light bringer and a Love giver. On November 16, 1997, Q’uo spoke of the nature of a Light bringer:
We might suggest to each of you that you do exist at this time as a harvester to the extent that you embrace and attempt to live that inner focus of self as a vessel and a channel for that Love that is the One Great Original Thought. For the harvest of souls that lie among those deeply slumbering upon your Earth plane appear as do other sleepers, yet they are sleeping but lightly. It is not to the one who is aggressive as a light-bringer but to the one who simply allows Light to flow through the instrument that the, shall we say, the coincidences fall to bring sleepers whose time has come to awaken into that circle, that gambit which includes one who is functioning as a light-bringer.
Each of you may profitably think about the concept discussed within the question of being a spiritual warrior. The term is not exact, for the term, “warrior”, suggests an enemy, and yet the enemy of the spiritual warrior is the spiritual warrior herself, just as the ally of the spiritual warrior is herself. To the spiritual warrior all of those outside of the spiritual warrior are reflections of the spiritual warrior. The work which the spiritual warrior does is upon the self, and as the warrior disciplines her personality and finds ways to step out of the way of the One Original Thought, that entity becomes more and more a bearer of light, a channel through which light may come into the Earth plane. And this light, rather than the warrior herself, is the alarm clock which each of you carries and which each of you has as an offering to give to those about you. For each of you has her environment, and as you move through the routines and duties of everyday living, you come within the purview of many entities. It does not matter what you think of these entities or what they think of you in terms of doing spiritual work or of being of spiritual service. For the great service which the spiritual warrior offers is that emptiness of self which allows Love to flow freely through the heart chakra and out into the world to bless, to heal, and to awaken deep memories within those whose time has come.
We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We thank this instrument and each. We now transfer. We are those known to you as Q’uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and greet each again in Love and Light through this instrument. At this time, it is our privilege to offer ourself in the attempt to speak to those queries which those present may offer to us. Is there a query with which we may begin?
Carla: I have a question that’s been on my mind for a while, and it has to do with channeling. I have a student who got channeled information eighteen months ago that he was to be a very important channel within six months. This man I have taught now for about a month and can honestly describe him as a person who has no natural ability, no native gift for channeling, and, therefore, it seems to me that he has suffered rather cruelly because he’s really taken it to heart that he hasn’t been able to channel. I do have him channeling a bit now, but he is unsure of his gift, and it’s certainly going to be a hard pull for him just to be the kind of channel I am, much less a very important channel, although he is capable of that, of doing as well as I can do.
I realize that entities which have dwelled on Earth have the right to give advice and prophecy, but it seems to me that it is and can be very destructive. I wonder if you could comment on what I call inner plane channeling, channeling from people who have at one time been alive. Is there anything that I might write to people who ask me about this…
[Side one of tape ends.]
…advice that I could give that would help curb this kind of damage done to someone who believes simply because it was channeled, and then knocks himself out with guilt, simply because he has not been able to do what the channel said he could?
I am Q’uo and am again with this instrument. As we look at the query upon its surface, we find that there is some portion to which we may respond without infringing upon the free will of various entities involved within the situation described. Those who seek to serve as instruments for information that may have value in the evolution of another offer themselves in various manners in order that this desire might be fulfilled. Because the art of serving as a vocal instrument is not that which is plain to all who seek to serve in this manner, the efforts of many are somewhat short of what is possible for these entities. Thus, the contacts are in many instances somewhat commingled with the personal biases and inclinations of the instrument. This is possible in any kind of contact and often confuses much of the information which is transmitted with personal opinion. It must also be recognized that any contact which attempts to look into that which you call the future of another entity, sees many possibilities which may be described with more or less precision but which cannot be determined to be inexorable. And when such information is given that such and such an event will occur in such a fashion upon such a date or within a certain span of your time and experience, there is a greater possibility that liberty has been taken with the interpretation of what has been seen upon what you would call the inner planes, for the free will of each entity is always in motion and is that primary factor which determines the shape and time that events shall manifest within.
Thus, it is our suggestion to each entity which looks to this kind of inspiration for information and guidance that that which is looked for be of a more general nature that may be applied as a principle, shall we say, within the life experience rather than be described in a certain and limiting fashion which offers only a portion or glimpse of that blending of energies which shall eventually be experienced by any entity; that a certain kind of channeling, in this instance, the channeling of what you have described as inner plane entities who have previously walked as third-density beings within your illusion, may fall prey to this difficulty. For many who have served valiantly and frequently within your third-density physical illusion seek, after moving to the finer planes of your third-density illusion, to offer themselves as sources of inspiration and guidance for those who yet remain within the boundaries of physical illusion, and in this offering of themselves as servants, give that which is theirs to give. Yet it must be remembered that each such entity works within its own boundaries of limitation, though these boundaries may, indeed, be more spacious that those which you now enjoy. The words of those who cannot be seen by the outer eye must be weighed as carefully as the words of any which ring upon the ear, within the mind, and in the heart. There is much that is learned by the process of what we find you call the trial-and-error method. Discrimination is that which is hard-won, my sister, and in this process much of tolerance can be achieved as those lessons requiring finer and finer discrimination are encountered. Thus, we would not wish to warn all away from this or that source, this or that kind of contact, for each has much to teach which may not be apparent upon the surface of things, and oftentimes that which is learned is not that which was attempted, but proves to be far more valuable.

On March 18, 2001, Q’uo described the sources of guidance we may use:
You can work on opening your heart within the process of the workaday world, within the process of any present moment, under the storm of any challenge. It is impossible for anything or anyone to keep you from pursuing this service of being, and we want you to know that you have many helpers to aid you in this service. For each of you has guidance, personal guidance, deeply impersonal sources of guidance, inner planes teachers that shall come to you if you have a desire for that which they have to share. Many are the unseen spiritual aids that are available to the persistent and asking seeker. The key here is simply to ask and to keep asking with all of your heart. For it is true, as this instrument’s holy work says, “Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened to you.” Your desire shapes a tremendous amount of that which you shall receive spiritually. So, trust that self that desires. Do not scorn it but rather seek to know yourself more and more and to define and refine to yourself what you truly do desire, that which you truly do seek. For that which you seek, you shall surely find.
Each of you is a tremendously powerful principle, spiritually speaking, and a wonderful haven of help and healing to others. You are a particular kind of spiritual being, and although it may seem that you are isolated, that you are different and that you cannot be effective, yet we say to you that this is far from true. You cannot know what importance a smile or a word from you may have to another. You cannot know who will oversee some action or thought that you take and become comforted and inspired. You do not know, when you reach out your hand, how it will be received, and yet the impulse to do that is gold, spiritually speaking. Know yourself to be one who is truly powerful to serve, one who is worthy, one who, by doing her best, shall have done all that is necessary. This instrument often says, “Is there ever enough?” having noticed in so many ways that she is seldom satisfied. Yet we say to you, “Yes, you are enough, just as you are at this moment. Know yourself to be of great value as you are, as you sit, as you rest, at this moment. And know that all of the confusion of Earth cannot remove that essential quality from your being.”
May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?
Carla: Yes. The same fellow was told that he had guides. I am capable, because I’ve been through Silva mind training, of putting him in contact with his guides, yet I’m reluctant to offer him something which he may find unsatisfactory later on, as he himself has expressed a feeling of dependence upon the guides in the same way that he has expressed dependence upon what the channel told him to do. In other words, the request for guides is also a request to give up discrimination and do whatever he feels the guides direct him to do.
Consequently, I find the ethical question to be, “Should I do this?” knowing that it’s very possible that this perfectly good technique for seeking the deeper opinions of the deeper self, knowing that he may well put himself in bondage to what he considers the guides have to say. If you can’t comment on that specific question, you’re welcome to comment in general on how to be of service to people that want guides.
I am Q’uo, and we wish to offer that which enhances your own ability to exercise your free will in order that your steps be taken in full responsibility, and the benefit from such journeying might then truly accrue to your total beingness. That which you offer another is offered most efficiently when given with a whole heart and in the joy of serving another portion of the Creator in a manner which rings of truth to your own sensibilities. Thus, we would not wish to speak in a definitive manner so that a rule, shall we say, would be laid out which would be seen as being inflexible.
However, we again turn your query back upon your own ability to discriminate, for much you have offered in the query which may be placed within its answer. This, my sister, is our way of suggesting that you know that which is most appropriate as a means for your sharing. And that choice may not be fully clear to your conscious mind but may be discovered by further searching within. We do not wish to seem to ignore that which you ask, but we wish, instead, to reaffirm your own ability to respond to your query in the fashion which is most appropriate for you.
May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?
Carla: Yes, Q’uo, just one more question. Jim and I have been increasingly pleased with your contact and find it to be a clear one, and perhaps one which we should be taking with a more careful point of view, and had conceived the idea of either having additional sessions to Sunday, or simply on Sunday evenings, pursuing a line of questioning from one Sunday to the next, or if we wanted to leave Sunday spontaneous so that whoever came in could affect the meeting and have that meeting be more for them. Do you have any comments on our thoughts about setting up a continuing group where we ask carefully thought-out lines of questioning which extend over more than just one session at a time. Is this something that you would see as an additional service? Is this something that is compatible with your desire to serve?
I am Q’uo, and we are happy to serve in whatever manner we are asked that does not infringe upon another’s free will.
May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?
Carla: No, thank you, that’s all.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
[Pause]
I am Q’uo, and we thank each for allowing us to speak that which is our opinion and the fruits of our own seeking. We again remind each that we wish not to influence overly much with our humble offering, and we hope that we have been of some small service this evening. At this time, we find that we have offered that which has been asked, and in the comfort and joy of this knowledge, we shall take our leave of this group, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
The quote today from The Infinite Way is: “As individual infinite spiritual consciousness, I embody my universe; I embody or include the idea body, home, activity, income, health, wealth, and companionship, and these are subject only to spiritual law and life. The body is not self-acting: it is governed harmoniously by spiritual power. When the body appears to be discordant, inactive, over-active, changing, or in pain, it is always the belief that the body is self-acting, that it of itself has the power to move or not move, to ache, pain, sicken, or die. This is not true. The body is not self-acting. It has no intelligence or activity of its own. All action is mind-action; therefore, omnipotent good action. When we know this truth, the body responds to this knowing or understanding of truth. No change then takes place in the body because the error never was there. It is entirely exchanging a concept for the truth that already is, always has been and ever will be. Remember there is no patient “out there” and no body out there to be healed, improved or corrected. Always it is a false concept or belief to be corrected in individual thought.
When we begin to understand that the body is not self-acting, that it responds only to the stimulus of mind, we can disregard so-called inharmonious bodily conditions and abide in the truth that Life is forever expressing itself harmoniously, perfectly, and eternally as the divine idea body.
The understanding that I AM individual infinite spiritual consciousness, embodying every right idea and governing it harmoniously brings forth health, harmony, home, employment, recognition, peace, joy, and dominion. The understanding that this is true of every individual dispels the illusion of hate, enmity, and opposition. This also makes of you a practitioner, a healer, or a teacher, whether or not you are professionally engaged in the work.”
Later this morning I took the blue sheets and pillowcases off of my bed and replaced the with the green sheets and pillowcases. Then I put the blue sheets and pillowcases through the wash and dry cycles. Then I ironed the flat sheet and pillowcases, and then I put them on their shelf in my bathroom.
At 11 am this morning I was a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Q&A session. Some of the questions that I was asked “What can we do to help people who want to commit suicide?’ “What are the areas of polarity in our body?” “How was Carla able to forgive herself? “Why can’t we work with the red-ray chakra to change it in some way?’ “What is the value of drugs such as LSD and various plant medicines?” “What is the difference between Ra incarnating in Egypt and Ra walking among the Egyptians?” “How do second-density animals graduate into the third density?” “How did Ra build the Great Pyramid at Giza?” and “Why is there such a feeling of burnout in people around the world today?” This was another beautiful experience of feeling the open hearts in the Seattle Law of One Study Group today! I look forward to our next zoom meeting on the first Saturday in September.
The Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
August 1
Tabernacle Consciousness
I am of the principle of Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
As you sit in meditation, you dwell within a tabernacle in intimate conversation with the Creator.
Sit upon the mercy seat now and feel the waves of forgiveness.
Stand within the holy of holies. Feel and absorb the Light and the peace of that which is the highest and best you can imagine and know.
Allow the strength of the tabernacle of the Creator to enter into your being, to give you solace and comfort but also to give you strength.
For each of you with tabernacle consciousness is the city upon the hill.
And the windows of your eyes may shine Light of a blessed nature through your consciousness and into the world about you.
Again and again during your day, return for a moment to the tabernacle. Sit quietly in that inner room and be refreshed.
We are with you in 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
