I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Two and the concept of the basic attitude of unconditional love:
Basic attitude of unconditional love
The answer to what love is lies within you, now. For your nature is love. Love created you and you are a spark of that infinite love. In many ways, spiritual evolution is a process of allowing the real you to come out of all the wrappings and cultural training and old habit. How you have been beaten down by what others have told you, how others have seen you, and so forth! Casting aside assumed wisdom is sometimes a very difficult and lengthy process. But the truth is speaking within you now; love is powerful within you now. So turn your ears inward to the silence of that heart within and listen for the footsteps of the One Who comes in love.[1]
In this third-density illusion each of us serves in a preferred way that ultimately yields harvestability. On the positive path, harvestability results from opening one’s heart in unconditional love in at least fifty-one percent of our interactions with others. In practical terms and in metaphysical terms what this means is that we need to discover that force of love which is within us lying dormant, for the most part. This is the force of Love which has created us and which seeks ever to express itself through our minds, bodies, and spirits as a river of love engulfing our experiences with everyone around us.
Every time that we are able to give this unconditional love to any other being with whom we interact, we are, in effect, making The Choice of service to others as though for the first time. It is like a baby being born into our lives that will live and grow into maturity by living off of the beauty, power, and inner nourishment of the love that is flowing out from our hearts to all around us. This truly is the real us, the real essence of what we are created of, that expresses itself as unconditional love. We are born anew in each expression of unconditional love that we share with another person.
We exist in a cultural milieu that does not seem to value unconditional love. Our culture puts conditions on love. We are loved if we behave as is expected, if we seek the same goals of money, security, approval, etc. And when we do not express the expected values and beliefs we may even be harassed until we do. And if we don’t give in to such cultural conditioning then we may even become an outcast who must find their own way as a renegade. As Players on the Enhanced Game Board we then have the opportunity to move to the beat of our own drum, or in this case, the beating of our own heart of hearts: unconditional love. We keep this knowing of the rightness of unconditional love alive within our being because we know it is why we are here on Earth at this time.
Eventually, if we continue to live according to what our hearts tell us to do we will be able to do as Q’uo says and “turn [our] ears inward to the silence of that heart within and listen for the footsteps of the One Who comes in love.”That One is the Creator that loves us unconditionally and which offers more and more of Its love to us as we go within to seek unconditional love for ourselves, for others, and for the world around us.
When you are good company to yourself, you have a feeling of being far more able to move through the energies that you are experiencing. You are not helpless. You are not a victim. You are an entity observing the sweep of a tremendous storm that is moving through your emotions and your chakras. Your job is to observe and experience, not to judge and not to change anything. As you observe yourself from a standpoint of unconditional love, you will begin to self-correct the extreme behavior because you will have been able to interrupt the old pattern that acted as a trigger for the despair. We cannot say what that pattern is. It is different for each entity and in each situation. We simply encourage you to note carefully those moments when extreme feelings are triggered.[2]
Here, Q’uo gives us a way to deal with inner adversity that could devastate anyone less than a Player on the Enhanced Game Board. Our use of unconditional love for ourselves is a way to accept ourselves when we seem unacceptable. As Players we are wise to take Q’uo’s advice and simply observe and experience our attempts at being of service. In this observation without judgment, we see ourselves as children of the One Creator who are seeking ways to know ourselves as such, when we seem to have fallen short of being able to live up to our own high standards of how to serve others. Players frequently have such high standards that they cannot seem to do else but fall short of them.
This is a challenge often experienced by positive seekers, whose goal is to accept the self even when falling short of perfect love. Along both the positive and the negative path, the practice of self-love strengthens the will and faith, which in turn increases ones’ potential for service. But, for the positively-oriented entity, the choice to love oneself is a means of increasing one’s capacity to love all others as well.
Then take a few moments to rest in the consciousness of yourself in its larger sense. For you have, when you pass the first three chakras and move into the heart, moved from the outer personality into the inner truth, from space/time into time/space and from judgment into redemption or forgiveness. For you have become a larger you. The “I” that is the first person singular of you is significantly changed in the atmosphere and the sanctity of the open heart. When you feel that you are beginning to vibrate with unconditional love, you have then achieved that expanded awareness of the truth of who you are. Resting, then, in this truth, it is now safe for you to do your work in consciousness.
Your first work in consciousness is to come into open communication with yourself. You have put judgment away. That is not part of your personality any more. You have put doubt away. You are dwelling as a citizen of eternity. Your possibilities have become infinite. The world has dropped away in terms of consensus reality and you are living at this moment, doing this work in time/space and in the company of all who have gone before you, living a life in faith, dwelling in the sacred temple of the open heart. Here you are never alone. The Creator Itself holds you in an embrace that is nearer to you than your breathing, closer to you than your body. If you need to—and it is sometimes necessary to realize that this is all you need and all you can bear—crawl into the lap of that great entity that is the Creator, however you may see this entity—mother, father, great principle. Crawl into this loving lap and rest. Do no more than that if this is what you need. Let angels surround you. Let the love that is completely unconditional, that created you and sustains you, now rock you and sing to you and sleep the sleep of one who is loved as a child is loved by its mother.[3]
Q’uo inspires us to clear our first three energy centers to the extent that the love/light of the One Creator can propel us into our own open hearts. Here we shall find the truth of our being: unconditional love for everyone—including ourselves—and everything in the created universe. This is the foundation stone of our being and of our journey through this third-density illusion of separation. We now see the truth of the Creator existing within all entities and within every iota of the creation. We no longer have any judgement or doubts about ourselves or anyone else because we know that the unconditional love of the One Creator has made us all in Its own image.
As we tabernacle more and more frequently and deeply with the One Creator within us, we express more facets of the Creator ourselves. No longer are we just Players on the Enhanced Game Board of life. We are the Game. We are the Love. This is a knowing that encompasses every bit of our consciousness and our being. There is nowhere within ourselves that we can look and not see unconditional love for all. Within this true home we live and move and have our being at all times. Thus, we also will come to realize that the only experience that is not illusion is that of the One who resides within us and flows out from us as unconditional love.
This afternoon my outdoor work was joined by Kristina, who has been staying in a bedroom in the basement for the last week and a half as she is looking for a place in rural Kentucky to move to. While sleeping in one of the basement bedrooms it seems that she has discovered that there may be mold there due to rain water that leaks into the basement as she has had that type of allergic response. Fortunately her car is outfitted with a bed so she can sleep in it while we try to solve the mold problem. So today we spread about two tons of garden soil on the south side of the house where this leaking is occurring to stop this leakage. We took my HVAC technician’s advice and put the dirt against the house at six inches and then sloped it down to the sidewalk about three and one-half feet away. Tomorrow I will sow it in grass seed, and Friday we will talk to a company who can determine whether mold is in the basement.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 27
A Nation Of Priests
I am the principle of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine love.
The concept of nations among your people has not been aided by the Holy Spirit’s work within those who long ago formed the nation you call Israel.
Let the spirit of Christ proclaim that humankind is a nation of priests, an order holy to God. The state of Israel was not intended literally, nor do any nations, namings or boundaries form a portion of the full and perfect consciousness which is love.
Nay! Rather, love is that city within each which, like Jerusalem of your holy works, shines with the gems, pearls and precious metals, seas of crystal and light without limit. The kingdom of heaven, not the kingdom or nation of Israel or any other place, is the native land of humankind.
Its comforts reach out to you. Its beacon calls. And all the memories of home thrill one’s spirit as one gazes about the confusingly alien landscape of the smaller life of Earth-bound things.
Think not that a holy nation must needs conquer or be conquered. For the only nation that shall be holy shall be the nation with open arms and free consciousness to love all as priests of God in Christ should indeed do. Only in undifferentiated love may peace come to comfort the pilgrim.
We leave you in peace, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
