I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from May 14, 1989:
Has to do with how we might recognize adversity in its early stages, so that we might do whatever is necessary in order to diminish the more traumatic effects, shall we say, or to avoid it completely.
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo. I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator and am so very happy and blessed to share this meditation with you and to be a part of your circle of seeking. As always, when we answer your questions with our opinion, we do ask you to be discerning upon your own behalf, for your personal truth shall be as if remembered, not learned but recognized, not for the first time: those things are for you. Other things which have no meaning to you or present a stumbling block are not for you, and we ask you to leave them without a second thought, for we would not wish to be a stumbling block. Anyone has the right to the path of their choice, and those things that we say are of a very decided polarity, that being of service to others. Also, we understand that although our distortions have been refined from your harsh illusion, yet still, subtle confusion persists and the mystery of the universe draws us ever onward.
We must do a bit of background speaking before we can speak upon the subject of adversity and how to recognize it in its early stages. First of all, we would like to specify that it is our opinion that each of you is in part perfect and of the Creator, that in truth all of you and all of we are one together with all else in creation. There is nothing dead; all is alive and all is unity. The illusions are formed by a series of electromagnetic fields. That is all. We know that the illusion can be very, very trying, tormenting and painful. You, yourself, have designed this to be so, and we will tell you why.
At this time in your planet’s history, it is approaching a time when conditions for third density will become most difficult, and it will not make a great deal of sense to attempt having third density life forms upon this planet. Consequently, we speak to those who are, shall we say, advanced students, old souls. In order for each of you to have been born at this time, you had to be able, through the use of faith and will, to achieve service to others of a 51 percent grade or higher; that is, you are capable of serving others more that you serve yourself. One might describe it as giving the other person the larger half of the sandwich instinctively. That is a simplistic way of describing the attitude of service to others. It is not that one is hurting the self—one takes a little less and gives a little more. This is the path of the suffering servant, but it is also the path of unending joy.
Therefore, before you came into this incarnation, you planned for yourself temptations, trials, and troubles aplenty. You may have piled your plate very high, or, as this instrument has put it, about herself, you have done the equivalent of taking a twenty-one hour semester. It is not advisable, but there are certain souls which are advanced enough that we permit even an ambitious lifetime, for if the ambition turns into fruit, it shall be great fruit. And those who suffer are those who bear fruit, therefore, each of you has chosen difficulties on purpose, not for your abstraction, disgust, apprehension, fear, or worry, but for catalyst, that you may learn the lessons of love that it has been given you to learn to make the choice of service to others.
Now, we must do a bit further background work in establishing the actuality of this adversity. Within the illusion, adversity is most real, and, for the most part, normal. It impinges on one, and one reacts to it. In actuality, it is part of a plan set up by your deeper self and the Creator, and it has a sense about it which, when one has lived long enough, yields to inspection. There is always the pattern of the incarnational experience. Over and over again has come the same experience, the same disappointment, or the same betrayal, the same anger or the same Love, the same difficulty or the same needs. And after a time, one may begin to see an incarnational pattern. Perhaps one is learning patience; perhaps one is learning to Love without expectation of return. That is within this instrument’s mind because this instrument believes it is her personal reason for choosing to incarnate at this time as opposed to the work of channeling that she is doing. To Love without expectation of return is a most important lesson to learn. To reach out and console, to bring into unity—these are the traits of a strong character whose control is not over others but for the sake of others. And to be in control for the good or for the bad, you must begin and end within yourself.
The first item on the agenda of one who wishes to recognize adversity in its early stages is to know, in a systematic and organized fashion, oneself. This is done by examining the reactions one has had and the behavior one has advertently or inadvertently done during the day. It is best done in contemplation or analysis in the last portion of the day, perhaps when one is drifting off to sleep. And if there has been difficulty and pain for you, your first duty and honor is the healing of yourself. You must be your mother in the sense that the Creator is your mother. You must nurture and cradle yourself and allow the hurt to fall from you. Allow forgiveness to pour into you, for there is no end to forgiveness if it comes through the entity and not from the entity. Do not expect, as a human entity—that is, one who participates in the senses which perceive third density—to be able to do this quickly or easily. We urge you simply to intend the best and highest that you can in this regard. This is in order that you may be self-forgiven and that you have forgiven that which has pained one. In other words, instead of attempting the difficult and sometimes impossible matter of being understood for oneself, one must first become oneself to the point that one does not react, even to adversity, but acts doing what one wishes to do in that particular situation. Perhaps one does not like what one is doing, but it is well when one’s behavior consists of positive choices.
In this session Q’uo speaks about the concept of adversity. Q’uo began by saying we must do further background work in establishing the actuality of this adversity, for within the illusion adversity is normal, so it impinges on one, and one reacts to it, but it is part of a plan set up by your deeper self and the Creator, and it has a sense about it which, when one has lived long enough, yields to inspection, yet there is always the pattern of the incarnational experience, so over and over again has come the same disappointment, the same anger, or the same Love, and after a time, one may begin to see an incarnational pattern, for one is learning patience or learning to Love without expectation of return, and that is within Carla’s mind because she believes it is her reason for choosing to incarnate at this time instead of the work of channeling that she is doing, so to Love without expectation of return is an important lesson to learn: to reach out and console, to bring into unity; these are the traits of a strong character whose control is not over others but for the sake of others, and to be in control for the good or for the bad, you must begin and end within yourself. Then Q’uo said the first item on the agenda of one who wishes to recognize adversity in its early stages is to know oneself, so this is done by examining the reactions one has had and the behavior one has done during the day, for it is best done in contemplation or analysis in the last portion of the day, perhaps when one is drifting off to sleep, and if there has been difficulty for you, your first duty and honor is the healing of yourself, and you must be your mother in the sense that the Creator is your mother, so you must nurture yourself and allow the hurt to fall from you, and allow forgiveness to pour into you, for there is no end to forgiveness if it comes through the entity and not from the entity, but do not expect, as a human entity to be able to do this quickly or easily, so we urge you to intend the highest that you can in this regard, for this is in order that you may be self-forgiven and that you have forgiven that which has pained you, yet instead of attempting the difficult and sometimes impossible matter of being understood for oneself, one must first become oneself to the point that one does not react, even to adversity, but acts doing what one wishes to do in that particular situation, but perhaps one does not like what one is doing, but it is well when one’s behavior consists of positive choices. On July 21, 1985, Oxal described the purpose of adversity:
Each time you are broken, you are being offered a new way to come to a new understanding, if we may use that misnomer, of Love. And by this we do not mean that which you call Love, but rather that which you call Logos, that Love which is creative and original, that Love which is the Creator, for that Love which is all of us, for we and you and all that there is are the Creator. Closed, you are the citizen of an illusion. It is as though your fullness were a prison. Each time you face adversity, you escape that prison and you are open to the transfiguration of another learning of Love.
We do not say this simply because it is inevitable that experience shall cause discomfort and grief, although that is surely the nature of your illusion. We say this to attempt to inspire you to examine whatever faces you at this particular time, to find within it the seeds of Love where there was none before within your heart. As always, the best adjunct to experience for the seeker is daily meditation. It does not have to be a full-time job, as this instrument would say. A very few minutes of seeking in silence that still, small voice, if we may quote from one of the holy works, is sufficient to put you in contact with the infinity that you can otherwise receive only from the harsh trials of experience. For there is that within you, as we have said, that will aid you in coming to a new knowledge, an expanded knowledge of your own nature and of the nature of Love. Often there is great healing in such understanding, as that which no longer is needed can fall away; as those bitter feelings disappear, for they are no longer needed; as dislike and prejudice disappears, for they are no longer needed. And then, once again, you become whole and you manifest to those about you that which has begun to come through you, that which is infinite, that which is Love.
That, perhaps, is the heart of what we have to say to you, but there is more upon other portions of this same subject. The communication with the mate and with the family is most important. The young souls, the children, are those who are open and honest and will indicate and act out in some way when they need to speak and be heard. The adult or grown-up, so-called, person is, on the other hand, inclined to choose not to communicate fully due to ambivalence about subjects or honest confusion and pain. In order to nip adversity in the bud, this adversity—which may not come from illness, pestilence, plague or famine, but from the minds and the hearts and the tongues of each other—one must search deeply within to be sure one is speaking in an honest fashion. There is an authenticity about speaking in a fully open and honest fashion which is unmistakable.
If those about you are unable to deal with the fact that you as a seeker have become an actor in the play who writes their own lines, not one who mouths the lines given by mother or grandmother or mate, one simply does not be concerned that others are not understanding, that others do not seem to be Loving. For the satisfaction of being a true, independent, metaphysical spirit is in the Loving. However, communication is, indeed, a prize worth pursuing on a daily basis with the mate. However, it is not necessary to achieve the ability to see adversity coming and the ability to become an actor rather than a reactor in the situation. Much can be said about the quality of faith in this regard. Every entity will have the time of temptation in the desert, the time of confusion, loss and heartsickness. One does not know how long these seasons last or when the oasis shall appear, and in each mated relationship it is only after much work together that entities move in their moods together. Most often entities move according to their own rhythms and have not unified with the other entity enough to experience the same emotional life. Therefore, one of the mated pair may be stolid while the other is excitable. One may be calm, while the other speaks quickly and enthusiastically.
Q’uo went on to say that is the heart of what we have to say to you, but there is more upon other portions of this subject, for the communication with the mate and with the family is important, so the children are those who are open and honest and will act out in some way when they need to speak and be heard, but the adult is inclined to choose not to communicate fully due to uncertainty about confusion and pain, and in order to nip adversity in the bud, this adversity—which may not come from illness, plague, or famine, but from the minds, and the hearts, and the tongues of each other—one must search deeply within to be sure one is speaking in an honest fashion, for there is authenticity about speaking in an honest fashion which is unmistakable. Then Q’uo said if those about you are unable to deal with the fact that you as a seeker have become an actor in the play who writes their own lines, not one who speaks the lines given by mother, grandmother, or mate, one is not concerned that others are not understanding, or that others do not seem to be Loving, for the satisfaction of being a metaphysical spirit is in the Loving, but communication is a prize worth pursuing on a daily basis with the mate, yet it is not necessary to achieve the ability to see adversity coming and the ability to become an actor rather than a reactor in the situation, and much can be said about the quality of faith in this regard, so every entity will have the time of temptation in the desert, the time of confusion and heartsickness, for one does not know how long these seasons last, or when the oasis shall appear, and in each mated relationship it is only after much work together that entities move in their moods together, for most often entities move according to their own rhythms and have not unified with the other entity enough to experience the same emotional life, yet one of the mated pair may be calm while the other is excitable, and one may be calm while the other speaks enthusiastically. On January 10, 2009, Q’uo spoke about the time of temptation:
The one known as Jesus stood at the pinnacle of the world in His time of temptation. He was offered power, the power to make things right for His people. Who would not want that? His only saving grace was the knowledge that His kingdom was not Earth and that He had power to save but not in the worldly sense unless He so chose to relinquish His ability to offer spiritual power to those who saw beyond this Earth.
Thusly He said, “Get thee behind me.” And He walked down from the hill which overlooked the world into the valley of human-hood, ignorance, illness, anguish and pain. And He said, “This is my kingdom. Here shall I let the life and the Love of the one Creator flow through me. Here shall I touch and be touched. Here shall I love and be loved.”
Communication is most difficult. To practice it, simply practice telling the truth to yourself, the whole truth as you see it. When one says it out loud, one hears it about oneself for the first time, and one may, perhaps, learn that one has not got the right of it yet. So, in communication with others you open yourself up to the mirror of your mate, your friend, or whomever you are speaking to. And this mirror, if the mirror is objective and kind, is the most incredibly helpful mirror that you may have. If it is objective and critical, it may be painful, but it is still helpful. If it is critical and inaccurate, it is to be ignored. It is most important that you filter that which goes into the self to avoid the constant drain upon self-worth to those who honestly wish to give sacrificially within this illusion in order to polarize sufficiently to graduate into larger life.
We ask that you remember the Christ, who suffered unto death willingly, if not enthusiastically, because it was the will of the Father. We take this example because it is most important to each of you. Each of you is upon a journey, upon a quest. What you are to do is directly in front of your eyes. It may be the scrubbing of a pot, it may be a great adventure, it may be professional work or waxing the car, but if it be done for the Love of the Creator, then shall it be blessed and nothing shall be unholy within your spirit, your heart, and your mind. For as you do all that you do, you do it for the Love of the Creator, and adversity then seems much further off, much more distant, and you are strengthened by your faith and by your will to be yourself. That God-self within you waits to come forth as you tame your will; therefore, will to know the Father’s will until finally your will is one with the Father. Ask always, “Not my will but Thine,” for in this harsh chemical illusion you cannot see every desert experience ahead of time. Through the grace of the one infinite Creator, you may be led to instinctive actions. Trust those instincts if they are helpful, if they bind wounds, if they create better situations. Trust those instincts that you know not quite how you found. Ask before sleep the solution to that which puzzles you. Ask at all times and strengthen your will to know, your will to seek the truth.
Then Q’uo said communication is difficult, and to practice it, practice telling the truth to yourself as you see it, for when one says it out loud, one hears it about oneself for the first time, and one may learn that one has not got the right of it, so in communication with others you open yourself up to the mirror of your mate, your friend, or whomever you are speaking to, and this mirror, if the mirror is objective and kind, is an helpful mirror that you may have, so if it is objective and critical, it may be painful, but it is still helpful, but if it is critical and inaccurate, it is to be ignored, for it is important that you filter that which goes into the self to avoid the constant drain upon self-worth to those who wish to give sacrificially within this illusion in order to polarize sufficiently to graduate into larger life. Now Q’uo said we ask that you remember the Christ, who suffered unto death willingly because it was the will of the Father, and we take this example because it is important to each of you, for each of you is upon a journey, and what you are to do is in front of your eyes, so it may be the scrubbing of a pot, or it may be a great adventure, or waxing the car, but if it be done for the Love of the Creator, then shall it be blessed and nothing shall be unholy within your spirit, your heart, and your mind, for as you do all that you do, you do it for the Love of the Creator, and adversity seems further off, and you are strengthened by your faith and by your will to be yourself, for that God-self within you waits to come forth as you tame your will, so will to know the Father’s will until your will is one with the Father, and always ask “Not my will but Thine,” for in this chemical illusion you cannot see every desert experience ahead of time, but through the grace of the one infinite Creator you may be led to instinctive actions, so trust those instincts if they are helpful, and trust those instincts that you know not how you found, so ask before sleep the solution to that which puzzles you, and ask at all times and strengthen your will to seek the truth. On October 30, 1988, Q’uo described the desert experience:
There is oftentimes the need for what you have called the desert experience, in order that the finest qualities of the being be enhanced and refined by the trials of the isolation and the testing of the resolve to exercise the will and the faith that are the rod and staff of the seeker. The conscious mind, in such instances, which asks for the assurance in an understandable manner that the self is not alone or that the experience has such and such a purpose, are oftentimes the crying in the wilderness which must be accepted, but if the initiation and the testing is to be successfully completed, must be endured rather than catered to, shall we say.
The process of the evolution of mind, body, and spirit within your illusion, your illusion having such great mystery, is one which is, as the progress is accelerated, oftentimes difficult in nature. But, as we are aware that those in this group have heard it said, the happiness and the contentment are not the goals. The enhancing of the quality of compassion and the offering of its fruits are more to the heart of the purpose, from our point of view. Thus, there is much of difficulty that must simply be endured, and must be allowed to work its unseen function over a period of what you would call time, in order that the deeper qualities of the being which will survive such storms and tempests might be reinforced, and, indeed, brought to the fore in order that the evolutionary progress of the seeker will find its greatest expression within the life pattern.
Communication is most difficult. To practice it, simply practice telling the truth to yourself, the whole truth as you see it. When one says it out loud, one hears it about oneself for the first time, and one may, perhaps, learn that one has not got the right of it yet. So, in communication with others you open yourself up to the mirror of your mate, your friend, or whomever you are speaking to. And this mirror, if the mirror is objective and kind, is the most incredibly helpful mirror that you may have. If it is objective and critical, it may be painful, but it is still helpful. If it is critical and inaccurate, it is to be ignored. It is most important that you filter that which goes into the self to avoid the constant drain upon self-worth to those who honestly wish to give sacrificially within this illusion in order to polarize sufficiently to graduate into larger life.
We are afraid that each of you has chosen a sacrificial life to a certain extent for the express purpose of working towards a greater polarization in your native density. That is, we are saying that each of you is a wanderer, each of you comes from elsewhere in order to aid this particular planet at this particular time. You need not remember that you are a wanderer, indeed, it is not important at all, for you are now naturalized citizens of Earth, dressed in a physical body and soon to die—soon enough, that is; we do not wish to alarm you. When you are now free of the physical body, then you shall examine all those adversities that you met and see if you acted within adversity as well as good times with integrity and authenticity, being yourself and being as kind and compassionate and self-assertive as possible, feeling your worth and feeling others as well.
Now Q’uo said communication is difficult, so to practice telling the truth to yourself, for when one hears it about oneself for the first time one may learn that one has not got the right of it, and in communication with others you open yourself up to the mirror of your mate, your friend, or whomever you are speaking to, and if the mirror is objective it is the most helpful mirror that you may have, but if it is objective and critical, it may be painful, but it is still helpful, yet if it is critical and inaccurate, it is to be ignored because it is important that you filter that which goes into the self to avoid the constant drain upon self-worth to those who honestly wish to give sacrificially within this illusion in order to polarize sufficiently to graduate into larger life. Now Q’uo said we fear that each of you has chosen a sacrificial life for the purpose of working towards a greater polarization in your native density, so we are saying that each of you is a wanderer that comes from elsewhere in order to aid this planet at this time, yet you need not remember that you are a wanderer, indeed, it is not important at all, for you are now naturalized citizens of Earth, dressed in a body and soon to die, but we do not wish to alarm you, so when you are free of your body, then you shall examine all those adversities that you met and see if you acted within adversity as well as good times with integrity and authenticity, being yourself and being as compassionate as possible, feeling your worth and feeling others as well. On September 1, 2019, Q’uo described the nature of a wanderer:
Thus, a wanderer will eventually have opportunities to realize its nature as a wanderer, and the falseness of the world around it, when considered in comparison to the unity of the One Infinite Creation in the density whence the wanderer originated.
Thus, at some point each wanderer will have the opportunity of making this realization that it is not better than anyone else, but it is different from those about it. It will see in this difference the possibility of worthiness: that there is much to value in Love and in Light, the foundation stone of each wanderer. Each wanderer may then look upon itself in a far different Light, opening the heart to the self, Loving the self, then being able to extend that Love to others about it so that it is reflected back to the wanderer. As the Love and the Light of the One Infinite Creator begins to flow more and more through the wanderer’s heart, reaching that level of understanding, shall we say, that is possible within this third-density illusion, the wanderer begins to realize that it is one most worthy, or it would not be here serving this planet that so desperately needs the Love and Light of each wanderer upon it, for this planet is having great difficulty in becoming born into the fourth density of Love and understanding.
Each wanderer is well aware of this problem and seeks to give all that it has in the amelioration of the difficulty, of the chaos, of the hatred, of the separation, the division that exists among people of one kind or another, one color or another, one religion or another, one sense of self or another. The wanderer is here to help all realize that all are one, and the wanderer itself is an integral part of that oneness, of that unity.
Then, with this knowledge firmly established within the mind, the body and the spirit of the wanderer, the wanderer may go forth in Love and in Light, in peace and in power, and in the knowledge that it has that which is valuable to offer, for it is a valuable being. It is the One Infinite Creator.
We remind the seeker of the phrase, “In quietness and confidence is our strength.” This is in the mind of this instrument and is from your holy works. You are imperishable spirit. You have chosen to come into a harsh kind of boot camp, shall we say. It does not last long, but it is intense, and within the situations of your life, which keep repeating over and over, you have many attempts to learn the same lesson. Therefore, the solution to an early end to adversity is to feel the friction mentally and emotionally of resistance, a sliding friction of ideas or feelings which comes from resisting that which has created the adversity, whether it be someone or something someone has said. In other words, in this instance and in every instance, you are the instigator of your own pain, others are merely catalyst for you. You must stand upon your own two feet metaphysically and see that, yes, you are responsible, yes, you do not know why, perhaps, you are in a situation, but, yes, you have the faith that it is no mistake whatsoever, but what should be happening, and, yes, you have the will to endure, to love, and to serve.
Be yourself, for you are part of I AM, you are part of consciousness, you are part of All That There Is. Do not be discouraging to yourself, but give yourself every encouragement as would a mother, and do all that you do for the Love of the Creator. If you are imperishable, you must ask yourself the question, when adversity begins and you feel that friction: “Shall I move with my catalyst and eat it as fast as I can and learn from it, or shall I surrender to it and be taken like a ship in high wind with no rudder out to sea?” Needless to say, you wish to maintain control of the rudder, control of the sail, control of the direction of your tack or sail. You do this by being yourself and being radiant and positive where there is difficulty. Find that which is hopeful while recognizing the difficulty. For every feeling, there is the antithesis. For every incarnational pattern there are early warning signs which have mostly to do with that certain feeling that you are resisting change, that you are resisting catalyst, that you are not allowing the self to flow for fear that the self shall disappear. You each are perfect jewels. You can never disappear. You may ask yourself, “Will this be important in ten millennia?” If the answer is no, then you need not be concerned with it overmuch. If you see that within the answer there is a spiritual principle, apply that spiritual principle if you can, and nurture and forgive yourself and give yourself the strength to try again in complete forgiveness if, at this moment, you are not able to stop the catalyst from becoming your illusion, your reality. It takes patience, persistence and courage to follow the path of faith.
Then Q’uo said we remind the seeker of the phrase, “In quietness and confidence is our strength,” for this is in the mind of Carla and is from your holy works, so you are an imperishable spirit that has chosen to come into a harsh boot camp, and it does not last long, but it is intense, and within the situations of your life, which keep repeating, you have many attempts to learn the same lesson, and the solution to an early end to adversity is to feel the friction mentally and emotionally of resistance, a sliding friction of feelings which come from resisting that which has created the adversity, whether it be someone or something someone has said, yet you are the creator of your own pain, and others are catalyst for you, so you must stand upon your own two feet metaphysically and see that you are responsible, but you do not know why you are in a situation, but you have the faith that it is no mistake, but what should be happening is that you have the will to endure, to Love, and to serve. Q’uo went on to say be yourself, for you are part of I AM, and you are part of All That There Is, but do not be discouraging to yourself, but give yourself encouragement as would a mother, and do all that you do for the Love of the Creator, for if you are imperishable, you must ask yourself the question, when adversity begins and you feel that friction: “Shall I move with my catalyst and eat it as fast as I can and learn from it, or shall I surrender to it and be taken like a ship in high wind with no rudder out to sea?” Then Q’uo said you wish to maintain control of the rudder, control of the sail, control of the direction of your sail, and you do this by being yourself and being radiant where there is difficulty, so find that which is hopeful while recognizing the difficulty, for every feeling there is the opposite, and for every incarnational pattern there are early warning signs which have to do with a feeling that you are resisting change, and you are not allowing the self to flow for fear that the self shall disappear, but you each are perfect jewels, and you can never disappear, so you may ask yourself, “Will this be important in ten thousand years?” And Q’uo said if the answer is no, then you need not be concerned with it, but if you see that within the answer there is a spiritual principle, apply that spiritual principle and forgive yourself and give yourself the strength to try again in complete forgiveness if you are not able to stop the catalyst from becoming your reality, yet it takes patience and courage to follow the path of faith. On May 7, 1989, Q’uo described how we can follow the path of faith:
Now, we, having shown that feeling and emotion, especially the deep emotion, is very important to the growth of the spirit, would suggest tools with which one may approach learning how to feel feelings. May we say that in our opinion, the easiest way to feel is to begin with that which you feel most deeply. It may seem to be that which is furthest from you, however, the decision, the choice—and we emphasize this word, choice—to take a path of faith and live it, day in and day out, as this instrument would say, is central to opening the heart to feeling, to moving deeper into the water consciousness of the deep mind.
Therefore, we would suggest starting the day with a hymn of praise to the infinite One, as you know that higher power to be. Worship is so much easier for the Creator than it is to see the Creator in others, simply because the Creator is an abstraction which is mysterious, yet which has created all that there is. The wonder of this, the beauty of this, is enough to send someone without experience into ecstasies. There is beauty unbounded upon your sphere within the plant, animal, and mineral lives. There is much beauty of character in your people. There have been many, many beautiful thoughts, and songs, and pictures, and resonances of reality sounded by artists and philosophers, poets, essayists, and writers. These entities have moved into their feelings, into the true intelligence of the deeper self.
It does not matter what you choose for your personal faith. Or to put it another way, in the words of Joseph Campbell, which this instrument recently saw, “It does not matter how you construct your personal myth, however, it must do certain things. It must be a myth in which all the mistakes and errors and misjudgments of the past can be washed away, forgiven and forgotten, just as you can forgive that which has been done to you.”
We speak to those who seek to have faith. Yet those who seek to have faith do have faith dimly remembered, do have passionate Love for the Creator, and they seek to reach that within themselves. Make that connection, feel the true worth of the self, stand upon one’s own two feet, metaphysically speaking, and that which is catalyst will then come to you as catalyst. And once one has discovered the basic lesson of the incarnation, one may quickly move, when the sliding resistance begins, into a positive attitude of asking for the change, asking for the experience, asking to change, opening that biocomputer of the mind to new programming, new selfhood, new ways of perception and new ways of storing memory. Much of your brain is not at this time used. Start suggesting to yourself that a spiritual portion of your mind, so often symbolized by the third eye of the forehead but containing the whole of the skull, be recognized. Above all, we ask that you allow adversity, handled well or handled poorly, to mellow into sweetness within the character. Kindness, and charity, and hope, and faith—all of these things are different ways of saying Love, and that is the essence of your being; that is the essence of your Creator; that is the essence of creation itself.
As for adversity… ah, you have designed it to come upon you. You shall one day be interested, rather than fearful, of what the day may bring, for the entity which rules themself needs little but the infinite Creator and the ability and opportunity to Love others. When there are practicalities involved, we suggest that one use one’s biocomputer as logically and carefully as possible. However, over against this caution, we assure you that you cannot truly make a mistake, for whatever road upon which you turn, you shall meet your catalyst again and again until you recognize it, Love it, forgive it, and move beyond. You are queens and kings, rulers of yourselves, all of you royal. Remember who you are, remember your birthright and remember that you live in a spiritual democracy where each entity is precisely, mathematically equal. The differences within the illusion come from your use of will through faith.
Then Q’uo said we speak to those who seek to have faith, yet those who seek to have faith do have faith dimly remembered, do have passionate Love for the Creator, and they seek to reach that within themselves, so make that connection, feel the worth of the self, stand upon one’s own two feet, metaphysically speaking, and that which is catalyst will come to you as catalyst, and once one has discovered the lesson of the incarnation, one may move, when the resistance begins, into a positive attitude of asking for the change, opening that biocomputer of the mind to new ways of perception and new ways of storing memory, for much of your brain is not at this time used, so start suggesting to yourself that a spiritual portion of your mind, so often symbolized by the third eye of the forehead, but containing the whole of the brain, be recognized, and we ask that you allow adversity to mellow into sweetness within the character, so hope and faith are different ways of saying Love, and that is the essence of your being; that is the essence of your Creator; that is the essence of creation itself. Now Q’uo said you have designed adversity to come upon you, so you shall one day be interested in what the day may bring, for the entity which rules themself needs little but the infinite Creator and the ability and opportunity to Love others, for when there are practicalities involved, we suggest that one use one’s biocomputer as carefully as possible, but we assure you that you cannot make a mistake, for whatever road upon which you turn, you shall meet your catalyst until you recognize it, Love it, forgive it, and move beyond, for you are queens and kings, rulers of yourselves, so remember who you are, remember your birthright and remember that you live in a spiritual democracy where each entity is equal, for the differences within the illusion come from your use of will through faith. On April 27, 2007, Q’uo spoke about a spiritual democracy:
It is a real challenge to take oneself seriously when the veil is so thick. Further, it is difficult to take oneself seriously when one makes so many errors, at least self-perceived errors. And yet, beneath the thoughts and the judgments and those surface details of your personality lies a part of yourself which you share with every living being in the universe. You share the consciousness of unconditional Love.
This consciousness you have in common with all souls. As the one known as A has noted recently, this is a spiritual democracy. You are precisely equal to all other souls. You are all a part of the infinite Creator. When you are attempting to form a rule of life, as each of those present in this room is attempting to do, let the heart and the soul of this rule of life be Love. Let the center be consciousness.
With this thought we shall leave this instrument and transfer this contact, with thanks to the one known as Carla, to the one known as Jim. I am Q’uo, and we would, as we leave this instrument, thank it once again for removing a somewhat negative entity from the circle at the time we began. We were grateful that that was removed. We would now transfer in Love and Light. We are those of Q’uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and greet each again in Love and Light. We are privileged at this time to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which may have found their way into the minds of those present. Is there a query at this time?
Carla: I have one from K. I would like to know anything that you can tell me about the basic worthwhileness and use of crystals, whether they are just fashionable right now or whether they have use, and if they have use, what are the uses?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of the query, my sister. The crystal is a living entity, full of the intelligent infinity of the one Creator, and may be utilized as any other portion of the Creator’s creation, that is, it may be used well or poorly as a tool for understanding and serving, or as merely an adornment. The use of the crystal is a field of inquiry which is quite large, as one would expect. However, it might be summarized by suggesting that the crystal, through its facets in construction and the inner properties of geometry and geography, intensifying both the instreamings of intelligent energy from the creation and the vibrational harmonics of the entity that seeks to utilize the crystal in any consciously directed fashion. The crystal then may be utilized to aid the deepening of one’s meditative state by desiring that this outcome be produced and by placing the self within a structure of a crystalline nature, such as the framework of a teepee, for example, which would funnel the intelligent energy of the Creator in a fashion that could deepen the meditative state of an entity which has placed itself in the middle of such a structure.
The smaller and more commonly used crystal gems may be utilized by one who seeks to be of service as that which you call the healer, for when the crystal has been chosen according to those qualities which are known to be a part of each gemstone, the appropriately selected crystal may be charged or enhanced by the desire of the one serving as healer in order that the interruption of the energy pattern of the one to be healed might be achieved. This interruption of the energy pattern would allow for another configuration, loosely known to your peoples as health, to be chosen according to the newer mental understanding of the one to be healed, realizing that it has learned what was necessary from the previous configuration of mind that produced the diseases, shall we say, within the mind/body/spirit complex. Thus, the crystal may be seen as similar to a magnification device and an intensification device that may aid the healer in its attempt to offer its services…
Carla asked a question for K: “I would like to know anything that you can tell me about the basic worthwhileness and use of crystals, whether they are just fashionable right now or whether they have use, and if they have use, what are the uses?” Q’uo replied the crystal is a living entity, full of the intelligent infinity of the Creator and may be utilized as any other portion of the Creator’s creation, so it may be used well or poorly as a tool for serving, for the use of the crystal is a field of inquiry which is large, but it might be summarized by suggesting that the crystal, through its facets in construction and the inner properties of geometry and geography, intensifying both the instreamings of intelligent energy from the creation and the vibrational harmonics of the entity that seeks to utilize the crystal in any consciously directed fashion, and the crystal may be utilized to aid the deepening of one’s meditative state by desiring that this outcome be produced and by placing the self within a structure of a crystalline nature, such as the framework of a teepee which would funnel the intelligent energy of the Creator in a fashion that could deepen the meditative state of an entity which has placed itself in the middle of such a structure. Q’uo went on to say the smaller and more commonly used crystal gems may be utilized by one who seeks to be of service as the healer, for when the crystal has been chosen according to those qualities which are known to be a part of each gemstone, the appropriately selected crystal may be charged by the desire of the one serving as healer in order that the interruption of the energy pattern of the one to be healed might be achieved, so this interruption of the energy pattern would allow for another configuration of health to be chosen according to the newer mental understanding of the one to be healed, realizing that it has learned what was necessary from the previous configuration of mind that produced the diseases within the mind/body/spirit complex, so the crystal may be seen as similar to a magnification device that may aid the healer in its attempt to offer its services. On June 15, 1986, L/Leema described the use of the crystal:
One may see the use of the crystal as a step upon the path of service of that called healing. The intention of the one serving as healer is that which is paramount. It may be that at some point within this entity’s progress that the use of the crystal shall be helpful in amplifying the fruit of the intention, that is, the ability to channel the intelligent energy through the green-ray energy center. It may be that the one serving as healer spends a great portion of its incarnation utilizing the abilities of the crystal in its service of healing. It is also possible that such an entity in its continued evolution of being shall be able to function without the need to utilize the crystal and shall in a more direct fashion channel those healing energies which it becomes more and more able to contact and transmit.

(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. Is there another query?
Carla: Yes. I would like to follow up on that with just a couple of small ones. I know there are objects which are also able to contain a lot of negative energy, and people have magnetized them that way. Is the best way to demagnetize them… is it sufficient to use salt and water, holy water, or is it necessary to grind them up or otherwise destroy the form of such objects which feel negative?
I am Q’uo, and I am aware of you query, my sister. The use of the salt and blessed water is sufficient for the removal of negative thought forms or vibratory complexes from the artifacts of your illusion when utilized with the desire that is manifested to do so. That is to say, that it is helpful to devise a personally meaningful ritual, if one has not chosen an established ritual of cleansing and consecration of a place or a thing. Thus, we recommend the choosing of such a ritual to accompany the use of the salt and the blessed water.
Carla: Thank you. The other follow-up was having to do with water, especially salt water. Water just makes my arthritic body feel a lot better, especially warm water, and going to South Carolina and getting into the sea water, it seems like I really get better every time I go. Is there some kind of crystal quality to water, especially maybe salt water with minerals in it, that acts as do crystals to heal?
I am Q’uo, and I am aware of your query, my sister. The salt water of your seas and oceans has an especially beneficial healing effect upon the general weariness and fatigue of the physical vehicle. Water in general, and, more specifically, that water which contains salt, is a kind of demagnetizer, shall we say, if one can see the weariness and fatigue of the bones, muscles, and joints of the physical vehicle as being that which has accumulated within the vehicle and which may be attracted outward from the vehicle by the immersion of the vehicle in the solution of salt and water.
Carla: Does it help to visualize this occurring cell by cell?
I am Q’uo, and this would be effective for an entity which consciously sought healing from the salted water and was able to visualize with some degree of effectiveness.
Is there another query, my sister?
Carla: No, thank you, Q’uo.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again. Is there a query again at this time?
J: I find myself that I am experiencing a lot of dramatic emotions around me, and within my reasoning I feel that it is unwise for me to participate in the emotions, and I find that my life is more pleasurable by simply thinking about things, becoming aware of myself and my surroundings, but yet I find it unnecessary to participate in the dramatic emotions that surround me. I’m just wondering—I find that I do that, so I’m wondering why I do that?
I am Q’uo, and if we understand your query correctly, we may not speak as to the motivation for your actions which is unknown to you, for that which is your heart’s desire, if unknown to you, is that which you must seek by your own efforts. We would suggest that each entity in the life pattern takes those actions and thinks those thoughts and speaks those words that one feels are appropriate to the situation at hand. And yet if this entity will look at the motivations for each word, thought or deed, one may discover that it is not a simple matter to put the finger squarely upon the single reason for any thought, word or deed. For each of you, my friends, is a complex being with various lessons, abilities, desires, blockages and challenges to face, all revolving about the concept of Love and compassion.
As one begins to move beyond the surface or appearance of one’s motivations, one begins to see an interrelationship developing, so that there are a number of influences proceeding from the subconscious mind into the conscious behavioral patterns affecting each and every portion of the existence and the being. Thus, there is much which can be learned by turning the curious eye inward and continuing to study that which is seen in order to glean the many fruits which await therein.
Is there another query, my brother?
J: Yes, let’s do a little bit of clarifying on that. What I was trying to get, what I was trying to understand was that what I’m feeling about the way I react to these emotions surrounding me, I feel that it is healthy for me though I am not supported by the emotions, in other words, others may feel that it is unhealthy for me and that in the end I will lose the battle by choosing not to participate in the emotional pond, I guess. And I’m just wondering if it is healthy for me. I feel that it is healthy for me now, but I guess I’m wanting to know the future—if it’s still beneficial at the same time or if I’m on the wrong path, I guess. I realize I have to decide my own path and react to the surroundings, but I guess that’s a frustration for me now because I feel that I am alone in my decision to not become involved in the emotions.
I am Q’uo, and we shall attempt to speak to this query. Whether an action is helpful in the overall sense of one’s soul development or is not helpful is a conclusion which is most difficult to reach within your third-density illusion, for much is veiled from the conscious mind, so that what seems helpful in one sense may be just the opposite in another sense when seen from a larger perspective and vice versa is also true. That is to say, that which seems unhelpful in the short run of things, as you would say, may in the overall sense be quite beneficial. One may look at one’s tendencies or the possibilities which exist as one interacts with those about one. One may choose a certain action and attempt to carry it out in a conscious fashion, feeling that this is the most helpful action that might be chosen. This is a part of the overall learning of any entity and will eventually bring the entity to that point which is appropriate in its own process of learning, and that is that its true feelings will be discovered, whether they were known in any degree before the action was decided upon or not.
That which is most helpful to an entity in utilizing the catalyst of the daily round of activities is the spontaneous and unrehearsed thought, word or deed which is carried out to its logical or appropriate conclusion, then reflected upon in a conscious fashion and utilized within the meditative state, so that any biases that are not deemed consonant with the highest ideals of the seeker might be noted and marked for future reference, so that the lesson which is embodied might be clarified and a certain set of actions might be associated with that lesson. Thus, the entity begins to look upon the world with a new point of view that has been enhanced by spontaneous action that has been carefully analyzed, meditated upon, and placed within the proper perspective in the overall growth of the soul as seen from the viewpoint of the conscious seeking self.
J asked: “What I was trying to get, what I was trying to understand was that what I’m feeling about the way I react to these emotions surrounding me, and I feel that it is healthy for me though I am not supported by the emotions, in other words, others may feel that it is unhealthy for me, and that in the end I will lose the battle by choosing not to participate in the emotional pond, I guess.

I realize I have to decide my own path and react to the surroundings, but I guess that’s a frustration for me now because I feel that I am alone in my decision to not become involved in the emotions.” Q’uo replied whether an action is helpful in the sense of one’s soul development or is not helpful is a conclusion which is difficult to reach within your third-density illusion, for much is veiled from the conscious mind, so that what seems helpful in one sense may be the opposite in another sense when seen from a larger perspective and vice versa is also true, for that which seems unhelpful in the short run of things may be beneficial, and one may look at the possibilities which exist as one interacts with those about one, so one may choose an action and attempt to carry it out in a conscious fashion, feeling that this is the most helpful action that might be chosen as this is a part of the learning of any entity and will bring the entity to that point which is appropriate in its process of learning, and that is that its true feelings will be discovered, whether they were known in any degree before the action was decided upon or not. Then Q’uo said that which is most helpful to an entity in utilizing the catalyst of the daily round of activities is the spontaneous thought, word, or deed which is carried out to its logical conclusion, then reflected upon in a conscious fashion and utilized within the meditative state, so that any biases that are not deemed consonant with the highest ideals of the seeker might be noted for future reference, so that the lesson which is embodied might be clarified, and a set of actions might be associated with that lesson, and the entity begins to look upon the world with a new point of view that has been enhanced by spontaneous action that has been carefully analyzed, meditated upon, and placed within the proper perspective in the overall growth of the soul as seen from the viewpoint of the conscious seeking self. On April 2, 2016, Q’uo described the nature of the meditative state:
The meditative state is that place wherein you tabernacle with the most high, the holy of holies within your holy ground. Go, therefore, to this ground and seek the answers that are most important to you. Do not attempt to decide with your mental faculties important questions of spiritual nature. Go there within to the heart of your being to find those answers there in the meditative state.
Is there another query, my brother?
J: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you. Is there a further query at this time?
A: Yes. I would like to learn to deal with passion that relates to the human being—a passion which is destructive, which doesn’t lead any place, which hurts. How to dominate it and how to make it less destructive? Maybe there is no way, maybe there is a way. What would you advise someone particularly in love with someone since a long time and doesn’t know how to deal with it anymore and knows it doesn’t lead any place. What would you advise this person to deal with so this person doesn’t get hurt so much, that this person has no room to serve, or it diminishes the action of this person to really serve the others because there is this healing process going on, or this big hurt and wound going on?
I am Q’uo, and we feel much within your query which is unspoken and which speaks loudly as to the desire to be of service and the confusion as to how best to achieve true service in this regard. We may not give specific suggestions in this type of query, for that which is closest to the heart of the seeker is that which must respond only to the seeker’s Free Will choice and not to words that we may give as teacher. For when the test is true there is the opportunity to express the learning which one has achieved at a time that may seem most traumatic, and it is at this time that the choice rests squarely upon the shoulders of the seeker which may be confused as to the direction of movement, the shape of the movement, and the final outcome. All of this is the nature of mystery which is at the heart of each incarnation.
But we might suggest that when the seeker of truth finds itself confronted with such a choice that is felt to be of great importance within the life pattern, that there is no time during which it is more important to remain close to the heart within and to move in the manner which the heart declares. How to find this feeling of the heart; this is the dilemma of the seeker. Each will recognize the choices before one in such a situation. Much thought will be given to each. Prayers may be offered. Each possibility may be embraced within meditation. All of the attention of the seeker is placed upon each possible choice. Play out each within your heart of hearts one at a time, perhaps on separate days, when you feel a great desire to know and have the opportunity to meditate in peace and in silence. Observe your heart and your feelings as each choice is played out, and most especially the after-effects.When you have played each choice to its logical conclusion and visualized the ramifications attendant to each possibility, then it is that your heart will speak; that this is or is not a possibility. As you eliminate possibilities, you will at some point discover the direction of the heart, for the heart seeks not only the welfare of the single self, but of those with whom the self has joined in the like pattern so that there is a harmony that the heart sees and reflects when the conscious mind asks sincerely. Thus, we can recommend no specific answers to your situation, for it is such challenge that you have placed before yourself and which is of such importance that each step which you take to be most helpful in the overall growth of the world must be that which is freely chosen by your own desires.
A asked: “I would like to learn to deal with passion that relates to the human being—a passion which is destructive, which doesn’t lead any place, which hurts. How to dominate it and how to make it less destructive? Maybe there is no way; maybe there is a way. What would you advise someone particularly in love with someone since a long time and doesn’t know how to deal with it anymore and knows it doesn’t lead any place. What would you advise this person to deal with so this person doesn’t get hurt so much, that this person has no room to serve, or it diminishes the action of this person to really serve the others because there is this healing process going on, or this big hurt and wound going on?” Then Q’uo said we feel much within your query which is unspoken and which speaks loudly as to the desire to be of service and the confusion as to how best to achieve true service in this regard, but we may not give specific suggestions in this type of query, for that which is closest to the heart of the seeker is that which must respond only to the seeker’s Free Will choice and not to words that we may give as teacher, for when the test is true there is the opportunity to express the learning which one has achieved at a time that may seem traumatic, and it is at this time that the choice rests upon the shoulders of the seeker which may be confused as to the direction of movement, the shape of the movement, and the final outcome, so all of this is the nature of mystery which is at the heart of each incarnation. On June 2, 1985, Latwii described the nature of true service:
To surrender the self, to surrender the decision-making ability in a large degree and to give over the self to the use of the one Creator is the second manner which is most successful and least often chosen among your people. To await that which is within is difficult, for you see others seeming to serve very effectively in a manner which is apparent and seems to bear fruit. That you are not first on your block to do so is discouraging, but that you shall eventually do so gives you comfort, and that you shall choose to do so in such and such a manner seems to give more comfort. But, my friends, may we suggest that you give over your desire to do this or to do that in this or that manner and pray that the one Creator moves through you in the way most salubrious, shall we say, for true service to be manifested through being. For each has at least one ability which shall be developed. It may not be showy; it may not be flashy; it may not draw oohs and ahhs from a great crowd. Yet, my friends, the One shall move through you. Know that in your hearts and calm your minds.
May we speak in any further fashion to another query, my sister?
A: Thank you, that’s fine.
Carla: So, what you are saying is follow your deepest desires no matter what. Follow your heart.
I am Q’uo. That is correct, my sister.
Is there another query?
J: I guess I have one that goes back to my original—my first question. If… the strong emotions, what part do they play in this density as far as the benefits in order to graduate to a higher level or whatever. What are the benefits of the emotions?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The benefit of such emotional biases is personal to each seeker. The stronger the emotional bias, the more intensity there is noted within the learning opportunity. That is to say, the greater the emotion, the greater the bias, and the more obvious the lesson which is being presented to the seeker, for there is but one response to any catalyst within your illusion that reflects a balanced point of view. That response, as you know well, is Love or compassion. When any other emotion is noted within the mind/body/spirit complex of the self, then the seeker may assume there is catalyst there to be processed in order that a balancing may occur.
Is there another query, my brother?
J: Would you say that these emotions are the emotions other than compassion, Love, which I feel [inaudible] there are purely instinctual, instinctive, anyway. I think they are more of logic, that you should have compassion, because that is giving for others. Do you feel that the other’s emotions are purely self-centered and egotistical and have no benefit to the serving of others?
I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. The benefit, as we spoke previously, is to each seeker in that the emotions alert the seeker to that which remains to be balanced. As balancing occurs, the ability to serve others is enhanced.
Is there another query, my brother?
J: I’m not quite understanding what you’re saying.
Carla: Well, I’d like to clarify that, too. To me there is a distinction between surface emotions, which are almost always destructive, and deep emotions which are intelligent emotions.
J: I feel that anger and hatred and things like that are very destructive, but I can see that they would help the individual if they helped them, but only if they could be intelligent enough to become aware of what happened and how they can learn from the situation. But if the person’s not intelligent enough, I guess, or doesn’t want to be aware of the situation, is wont to display the dramatic emotions, I feel that that may be self-centered, but I’m not sure if it is, because it may have some effects, I guess. I don’t know. I guess that’s what I want to know.
I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. The ability of the seeker to consciously recognize catalyst is primary to any learning in a conscious sense. Most entities within your illusion have only the barest conscious glimpse of the value of the emotions which mark their biases and growth potential, shall we say. Such entities must experience the same catalyst, whether it is intensely felt anger or blandly experienced boredom, over and over again before the catalyst makes its mark within the conscious mind strongly enough to draw the attention there to discover the possibility of balancing that exists within every bias. Whether the emotion is small and superficial or deep and perceived as dangerous, the lesson that is possible within any situation remains as a function of the intensity of the bias.
There may, indeed, be emotions within your illusion, as you are well aware, that are quite mentally or physically destructive. All of these ramifications of interaction are significant portions of the learning process. The more important the lesson or the transformation of point of view, the greater will be the price or the sacrifice that the entity shall need to make in order to purchase that which may, indeed, be a pearl of great price. Thus, great anger can teach as great a measure of compassion. However, each learning does, indeed, have its price.
Is there a further query?
J: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there a final query at this time?
Carla: Thank you, Q’uo.
I am Q’uo, and we, indeed, express our gratitude to each present this evening. It is a great honor to join this group, to blend our vibrations with yours. We cannot thank each enough for this opportunity. Again, we remind each that if any word we have spoken does not ring true to the heart, that it should be forgotten immediately. We do not wish to place any stumbling block before the seeker of truth.
At this time we shall take our leave of this group, leaving each, as always, 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.
This morning the quote from Practicing the Presence is: “We are told to have that mind in us which was also in Christ Jesus. We already have it, but it is necessary to attain a realization of it. It is this mind that transcends our education and experience and uses us for its own purpose when we come into a conscious realization of it as our individual mind. The attainment of even a degree of this realization sets one apart. It may lift one out of the ordinary everyday pursuits of life and make of them a painter, artist, sculptor, musician, poet, religious seer, architect, builder, a creative worker in one way or another because they are drawing on something greater that themselves, something greater than their education or their own experience. Moses, a shepherd of the hills became the leader of the Hebrew people. Jesus, whom neighbors knew as a carpenter became the Messiah
God is infinite consciousness, and God is our mind and our consciousness, Therefore, it is from your consciousness and from mine that the issues of life must come, the activity of supply, the activity of health, harmony, and wholeness. There is no far-off God to bring it to us. The activity of truth in our consciousness appears as the miracle of the cloud by day, the pillar of fire by night, manna falling from the sky, the Red Sea opening, water coming from the rock. God, in the midst of us, this I at the center of our being multiplies loaves and fishes is our safety and security, even in the midst of war, even in the midst of atomic bombs.
Later this morning I went outside and used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters in the skimmer in the fishpond.
At 11 am this morning I attended the funeral of one of my neighbors of 42 years at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church here in Anchorage. She had been in a care home in Mount Sterling, Kentucky for the last two years, and I enjoyed visiting her once a month to see how she was doing, and I always took her a chocolate milk shake since that was her favorite snack. I will continue keeping her bird feeder full of birdseed until her son lets me know that her home has either been sold or rented.
This afternoon I took Mystical Joy to the Middletown Animal Clinic to have her claws trimmed. After I took her back home, I drove to the Office Depot and bought two Toner Cartridges and three reams of Printer Paper.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
September 28
Go Forth Rejoicing And Glad
I am the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.
It is the wish of the principle of unconditional and creative Love that each particle of the Creator’s Love, each of your cells, go forth into the world rejoicing and glad.
Whatever your troubles, whatever your sorrows this day, we ask you to treat them as gently as honored guests. For each of those beautiful and less beautiful things that you may meet is something which may catch you, as a twig along the river; as that which may snag your attention and curl you into the outwardly blinded and inwardly gazing position of the fetus.
Let not your troubles bend you over or bring you to the dust but rather stand in faith and enjoy each small and great blessing that you may find before you this day, offering praise and thanksgiving with a strong heart. Thus, may the Father’s Light shine in your world.
We leave you in peace, now and ever.
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
