I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from April 19, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are sorry for the delay with this instrument. The instrument was not in a sufficiently relaxed state of meditation and found it impossible to discern our thoughts. The contact remains difficult, however, we will attempt to proceed if the instrument stays relaxed and avails herself to our contact. We will attempt to strengthen this contact if you will [inaudible] not a sign, my friends, that will mean the same thing to all people [inaudible].

The concept of a sign is always the concept of a common event which has a special meaning to a few select people, and so this will be. However, there will be much clarity about the event in your minds as [inaudible]. This is out of our hands completely. We merely observe that it will occur. We would not be able to inaugurate such infringement. However, there are forces who work for the Creator who are within the vibration of your planet and whose home has been here. These entities have worked with us, and do work with us, and it is through their action that the physical plane will be affected. We will, however, be lending certain meaning to the event we have spoken of.

My friends, to speak to you in this manner is unfortunately to enter into the area of the intellectual and the explanatory. Truth does not reside here and, indeed, where truth resides there will never be the need for any sign. Your true desire is for this truth. So be it that a sign will come to you. But remember that faith is transcendent to any phenomenon of the physical illusion. Open yourself to the truth through meditation until you have begun to find faith and then, my friends, continue. For in that dimension called faith, or Love, or understanding, or truth lies that which you truly desire.

I will re-contact the instrument known as Don at this point.

Then on May 2, 1974, Carla channeled those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I am pleased to be with you this evening. My friends, we have come to a place in dealing with the information which we give to your group where we are aware that there is a certain intensification of difficulties. There is a reason for this time of difficulty. You must have thought to yourself lately that a slight intensification of difficulty seems to be occurring among those who are seeking within the group. The reason for this, my friends, is very simple. The whole mission that we of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator have here, is simply the alerting of those of you upon the planet’s surface who wish this alerting of the knowledge of the true pathway of spiritual seeking. Once you have been alerted, my friends, to the fact that your physical existence is the environment that you have chosen in order to learn, you will after that begin to experience a certain cycle of testing. As you learn more about the spiritual path you will find a way to either demonstrate that knowledge or to refrain from demonstrating that knowledge.

When we have alerted you to the possibility of accelerating your spiritual progress then you have the opportunity to take these tests, and on a conscious level be aware that you are being tested by your higher self. Each of those in your group who is honestly seeking is now at a stage of seeking in which he has learned to a certain extent in a spiritual manner it is in the nature of this environment that this new knowledge be tested. It is in actuality an occasion to rejoice for each demonstration of the way of the Father raises your vibration that much closer to your original perfect vibration. We are afraid that we must tell you what we have learned about ourselves is also true of each of you. We have found that in each entity who seeks within the physical illusion for wisdom there is one great villain who steals all of the truth, all of the progress, and all of the awareness that he can from each of us.

You may look and look for this villain, but I must tell you, you may not go very far before you find him, for this villain is yourself. There is a type of specific illusion which is termed personality which has to do with the physical illusion which is given by the Father the power of creation. And this so-called personality creates many, many ideas, and concepts, and false realities which sometimes very effectively baffle the attempt of the spirit to maintain contact with the One Who is All. It is not a difficult thing to recognize the workings of this illusory self. It is somewhat difficult to inhibit the actions of this personality. The constant attempt to remain to some degree in a meditative state will be of great help to you in attempting to meet these tests. It is only necessary to continue to seek. It may seem difficult and, indeed, it is difficult. And yet, my friends, it is difficult no matter what road you choose. The rewards of the spiritual seeking, however, are somewhat more worth the difficulty.

The concept being dealt with in this session was: “When we get to a certain stage on our spiritual path there will be a time of testing and difficulties”: Hatonn began by saying they have come to a place in dealing with the information which they give to our group where they are aware that there are difficulties, and the reason for this is simple because the mission that they of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the Infinite Creator have here, is the alerting of those of us upon the planet’s surface who wish this alerting of the knowledge of the true pathway of spiritual seeking, and once we have been alerted to the fact that our physical existence is the environment that we have chosen in order to learn, we will begin to experience a certain cycle of testing, so as we learn more about the spiritual path we will find a way to either demonstrate that knowledge or to refrain from demonstrating that knowledge. Hatonn went on to say when they have alerted us to the possibility of accelerating our spiritual progress then we have the opportunity to take these tests, and on a conscious level we need to be aware that we are being tested by our higher self, so each of those in our group who is honestly seeking is now at a stage of seeking in which we have learned, in a spiritual manner, it is in the nature of this environment that this new knowledge will be tested, and it is an occasion to rejoice, for each demonstration of the way of the Father raises our vibration that much closer to our original perfect vibration, and Hatonn said that what they have learned about themselves is also true of each of us, for each of us who seeks within the physical illusion for wisdom there is one great villain who steals all of the truth, all of the progress, and all of the awareness that it can from each of us. Hatonn continued by saying we may look for this villain, but we may not go very far before we find it because we are this villain, and there is a type of illusion which is termed our personality which has to do with the physical illusion which is given by the Father–the power of creation–and this personality creates many false realities which baffle the attempt of the spirit to maintain contact with the One Who is All, so it is not a difficult thing to recognize the workings of this illusory self, but it is difficult to inhibit the actions of our personality, and our attempt to remain in a meditative state will be of great help to us in attempting to meet these tests, so it is only necessary to continue to seek, and it is difficult, yet it is difficult no matter what road we choose, but the rewards of spiritual seeking are worth the difficulty. On November 15, 1987, Q’uo described the difficulties that are created by our personality and how we can resolve them:

This conflict, then, is that which the entity has found it unable to resolve in the normal, shall we say, fashion. Therefore, the compartmentalizing of different portions of the personality allows the entity to express basic features of the personality without the need to bring these features into harmonious balance with other facets of the personality which are more aware of the basic conflict. Yet, in each expression there will be the distortion of the characteristics expressed that is due to the primary conflict remaining unresolved. Thus, in each personality or portion that is thus expressed will be found a faint trace or trail that will lead to the conflict for the entity to travel eventually in order that the conflict might be harmoniously resolved.

Is there another query, my sister?

C: What would be the most beneficial way to help this type of person in the healing process?

I am Q’uo. Again, our lot is the generality, for each case is unique. The offering of the self in unconditional Love and acceptance of the other self provides the basic environment of healing in which the entity experiencing the splitting or separating of portions of its personality might find helpful. The acceptance of such an entity, given in an unqualified manner, will provide the support that is needed to encourage the revealing of the primary conflict by any portion of the personality which is most vulnerable, or moved, or sensitive to the giving of Love. Thus, the one experiencing the separation of personality may begin through some portion of its personality to move into an harmonious resolution with other portions of the personality.

We send to you our love as channels for the love of the Creator. We are His and you are His. We are all one. We are one mind and one being. Do not let yourself separate you from yourself. There is much to rejoice in and we rejoice in being able to attempt to serve you at this time. I will condition each of you now. I will communicate with you in a direct manner. I will leave this instrument at this time. I am Hatonn.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to weed around the fishpond and the Ruins Mound Flower Garden. Then I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery to buy some Forsythia Bushes, but I was told that they didn’t have any. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food for Benny. My next stop was at Walmart to buy some bananas and some Choc-Zero. My next stop was at PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Kleenexes and cat treats.

This afternoon I heard from a friend at Thieneman’s Nursery that they had found one Forsythia bush, so I went there and bought it. When I got home, I transplanted it into a break in the row of small Forsythia bushes on the south border of my property

Be Alive Today

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

Let your lives be alive today as you spend as much mental time as possible with the consciousness of unconditional Love which is the essence of Jesus the Christ. Let your day be one of joyful experience. For resting in the peace which sees that all challenges and difficulties are blessings, one may continually be moved by the presence of Love, regardless of circumstance.

Let this be your day for quiet and confident remembering of the Father and of the consciousness of Love which is Jesus the Christ. It is not easy to allow oneself to be content in any circumstance, but this is the lesson of joy, acceptance and faith which divine Love offers.

Let this be a day of building, of loving, and of remembering. We leave you in the peace that is not of your illusion.

We leave you in the peace of the Love of Jesus the Christ, with all that that implies, both 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from April 15, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I greet you, my friends. I am Hatonn. We are most pleased to be speaking with you this evening. We wish to state that we have been aware of this group’s activities. We are aware of the difficulties of our brother in maintaining contact. We will at this time therefore give you a few small thoughts to think about while our brothers from Oxal are conditioning a channel for their use. We would like you to consider, my friends, an island in an ocean channel far out at sea. There is no land in sight, and this small rock, washed by waves, bleached by the sun with small flora and fauna growing upon it, looks out upon the world, and its limited consciousness attempts to grasp the reality as it eddies and swirls about it. The little island detects many strange things as it enters its purvey. It lives through differences in climate and feeling and mood. It experiences the seasons of its flora and its fauna, and it attempts to piece together a reasonable and holistic view of its reality.

It is fixed in position, my friends, a poor small rock. The far limits, where from come the waves, and the far limits to which they return, will be forever unknown to the island. The island can never know or fully understand that which appears at its doorstep, so to speak. This, my friends, is a very rough and perhaps shallow example of the type of instrument the intellect is. The intellect upon your planet is very useful within the imagery for which it was made. But the attempt, my friends, to use the intellect to understand the far limits of your origin or the far limits of where you shall return again is impossible. For in the image, which your intellect works upon, you are a rock chained to one mooring. This is not reality, nor can your intellect give you a picture of reality. Rather, my friends, in meditation seek to be the water. Seek the consciousness, the oneness, the unity, and the adventure of water. All water is inseparable. There is no separation: it flows, it is as one. And each wave that breaks upon this shore may have broken anywhere and may move to another. Let your consciousness flow like the water—not like an island—inwardly.

We are most pleased to have had this opportunity to give you these few thoughts. We will leave this instrument at this time. I leave you in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. I am Hatonn. Adonai.

Then on April 16, 1974, channeled Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. I apologize for our difficulties in contacting this instrument. We will attempt to use this instrument while we can as conditions are not good. It is very difficult for us to say words that have the desired effect. We wish for them to impel you or inspire you towards seeking to pique your interest and divert your attention to the subject of your own spiritual development. So many words remain simply words. We wish to effect the transformation from word to idea. Therefore, we have more to say than we can ever say, and we have very, very little to say, for our truth is very simple, and all we really wish to do is to propagate that truth as we understand it to you to the best of our ability to as many people as possible in the time allotted to us.

At this time, we are aware that many of those in this group are experiencing perplexities and while conditions are not serious physically for you, they are somewhat perplexing to you. And we wish to say to you today to consider that there is a duality of ways to look at the spiritual point of view. One way is the way of taking a life or death attitude towards your understanding and going after spiritual understanding as the life and death matter, as indeed it is. There is, however, a perfect opposite to this, which is equally valid and equally helpful and too little practiced, my friends, upon planet Earth. And this is simply to not worry about the meaning behind the illusionary experiences that fill each day. This seems, in a way, very shallow; however, once you have aimed yourself toward the spiritual path and have begun to discipline yourself with regular meditation, patiently and carefully kept up, the ability to take the all-important step backwards towards detachment from that which is about you in your daily life is extremely important. It may mean the difference between a great many perplexing situations and a feeling that is more often with you, that of the rhythm of the universe resounding recognizably in your life. When your worried mind is still and when all the ripples of worry of your daily life have stopped, then and only then, may you discern the flow and stately movement of the universal rhythms.

I am having difficulty with this instrument. I will leave this instrument at this time. I am Hatonn.

And on April 27, Carla channeled Hatonn again:

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Hatonn. As I was saying, meditation is the all-important technique for you to be aware of. We give you this information very often.  Of this we are aware. The information is simple, and in many cases may be profitably recycled so that it may serve its purpose as well when heard a second time, or a third, as the first. It is an everyday job to live a spiritual life and to keep the truths immediately before you. It is all-important to meditate, and in your daily consciousness to be consciously aware, for in meditation you are at all times in the creation of the Father.

This is what meditation is designed to do. To put you, part of the creation of the Father, into direct communication with the Father, which is all that there is. The creation of the Father is all about you, my friends. This too we have said, and we say it to you again. Remember it, my friends, as you go about your daily routine. If you can see something which was not made by those upon the surface of your planet such as the clouds, the water, the vegetation, or the animals, observe what you see, be it large or small. Truly observe the creation of the Father, for there is much to observe. You are a creation of the Father. Truly observe yourself. In this way, as well as meditation, you may become more aware of the truth of what is. The creation of the Father is all about you, meditation is within and needs only to be beckoned forth.

Hatonn said that: “Meditation is the all-important technique to be aware of.” Hatonn began by saying meditation is the important technique for us to be aware of, and the information is simple, and in many cases may be recycled so that it may serve its purpose as well when we hear it a second time, or a third, as the first, and it is an everyday job to live a spiritual life and to keep the truths immediately before us, so it is important to meditate, and in our daily consciousness to be aware, for in meditation we are at all times in the creation of the Father. Hatonn went on to say meditation is designed to put us into direct communication with the Father, which is all that there is, and the creation of the Father is all about us, so as we go about our daily routine, if we can see something which was not made by those upon the surface of our planet such as the clouds, the water, the vegetation, or the animals, observe the creation of the Father, for there is much to observe, and as we are a creation of the Father, observe our self, for in this way, as well as meditation, we may become more aware of the truth of what is, and because the creation of the Father is all about us, meditation is within and needs only to be beckoned forth. On April 1, 2006, Q’uo spoke of how the creation of the Father is all about us:

Imagine that the entire creation is dancing. Imagine that it is dancing in a way that is unified and harmonized so that every speck and mote and iota of the one infinite Creation of the Father is dancing in perfect harmony and in full awareness of the vast and infinite reaches of that dance.

We who are not of third density incarnation, whether we are dwelling between incarnations or are essences that were uncreated and therefore have not incarnated at all, are part of this dance. It is the dance of the heavens and the Earth, the elements and the essences of creation. In infinite variety and color, the patterns of the dance swirl in sacred geometry, in joy, in thanksgiving, and in grace and symmetry that create a beauty that is never ending, ever flowing, and an expression of unconditional love in its every facet and coloration.

At this time, I will attempt to contact another of the new channels. It is my great privilege to be speaking through these new channels at this time. I am Hatonn.

On April 28, 1974, Carla channeled those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and in the light of our Infinite Creator. It is with pleasure that I greet you, as always. I was attempting to speak with your group at an earlier time, but the circumstances were not favorable, for there were those who did not desire our contact with them here. Therefore, we simply abided with you at that time in a non-intellectual way. However, we are most pleased to be able to speak with you now.

My friends, we wish to rejoice with you. We were aware that there was within your group, and there is now within your group, a great and growing core of joy that is beginning to gain strength as you proceed upon your path of seeking understanding. Your contact with the Father within has begun to yield to you this heart of joy, this ecstasy. And we rejoice to see it in you and in your group as a whole. This is the hallmark of those who will be able to say that they are joyful. Not as the world is joyful are they joyful, but joyful in a most transcendent way. Daily meditation carefully practiced yields this joy, and service as it develops magnifies it many times. We rejoice exceedingly with you, my brothers, for you have entered the discipleship of the Creator.

This joy is your gift and your service, just as our joy is our gift and our service. This joy is expressed in many ways. In overflowing love, in understanding, in truth, in healing, in diverse matters as it is said in your holy work, is this joy come forth into manifestation within your daily life. But it is the hallmark of your contact with the Infinite Father. I know of the many, many ways that this joy may be used by each of you. For as one with whom you are familiar has said, “Each of you is a channel one way or another.” The techniques may vary, but any opportunity of opening your heart and allowing the joy of the Creation of the Father to flow from you is a worthy service.

I will condition each of you who desires it, and will attempt to transfer this contact to another of the instruments of this group. I am Hatonn.

This morning I went outside and pumped more than half of the water out of the fishpond, and while it was pumping out I fertilized the five water lily plants, and then I cleaned the filters for the fountain. While the pond was refilling with water, I used my tall ladder and a long pole with a hook on the end of it to put a new solar powered lantern at the highest point in the pyramid of the old solar powered lanterns. Then I used a smaller ladder and the pole with the hook on it to put new solar powered lanterns just a little lower than the top of the pyramid on both sides of the pyramid. Then I just used the pole to put new solar powered lanterns lower still of both sides of the pyramid. Then I added two cups of Aquasafe to the water in the fishpond to neutralize the chlorine in the water.

This afternoon I went outside and weeded the two gardens in front of the fishpond.

School Your Perceptions

Greetings in the consciousness of the Love of Jesus the Christ. I am of the principle of that consciousness in the vibration which comforts this instrument.

My children, how I wish that my words were strong wings to bear you up into the cerulean sky of your dreams and ideals.

How I wish I could give you the gift of strong arms and backs to take up and find inspiration in those things which seem to weigh you down.

How I wish that my words were as the dawning of a morning, full of life and purpose, so that you could rejoice.

Yet all words are shadows that flee before the merciless actuality of the round and radiant Light of your day. It is you, my children, who must give these gifts to yourself.

We offer you the strength of will to urge ideals and beauty into being. But it is only through your decision to accept these aids that you may school your perceptions to peace and joy.

The Love of Christ be with you.

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.

2025-06-14

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling comes from April 13, 1974 where Carla was channeling Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

[Inaudible], my friends. We would like to point out to you that we are aware that each time that we speak of understanding we always link it to service. We do not wish to, shall we say, draft you into service with us. We are not attempting to sway anyone against his will, nor are we attempting to choose for you the future action that you will select. The reason that we constantly link the concept of understanding through meditation with its demonstration in service is that we are not aware that there is any other possible path upon the upward way. It is important to seek. This is the first constant. Once seeking has been established then understanding begins to impel one along the path of spiritual development.

My friends, there is a very great distance which one may travel simply growing in understanding. However, the most exalted and pure understanding is an empty shell if it is not expressed. There is a limit to how far you may go in understanding if you do not choose to express your understanding through demonstration in service. The reason for this is one of the simple laws of reality. There is balance, my friends, in all things. Each thing which seems to be one thing is the other as well. If you wish to receive you simply give. This is a law. This is why we speak of service, my friends. Beyond the first rungs of understanding one climbs the narrow way by service. It is for this reason that we are here for by our service to you we advance ourselves in understanding. We are not aware of any other means of effectively creating a forward movement in our own understanding. We are not aware of any other way for you to increase your understanding.

Each entity that you meet is yourself turned over, the other side of you, the other side of the coin, my friends. The side you cannot see of yourself turned suddenly so you may see it; there you are. Serve your fellow man, my friends. We suggest this to you because we wish very much for you to advance along the path of spirit and because in your progression you also aid us greatly in our service to this planet at this time. I am aware that this instrument is experiencing some difficulty with this contact. I will attempt to transfer this contact to the instrument known as R. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am sorry that we are continuing to have difficulty with this contact. We will leave this instrument at this time. We leave you in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. It has been our privilege to speak with you this evening. Adonai vasu.

Then on April 14, 1974, Carla channeled those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. It is very often that these words are misunderstood for one reason or another. The difficulty, my friends, is the constant use of the intellect taught to all people who have been at all educated. There is very little spiritual training that would be most helpful in supplying a spiritual development in a growing entity. As the physical body grows, the entity within is educated upon those portions of your planet which are now receiving the aid of technological advances. This enables his intellect to grow and his body to grow. There is much lacking after these two items have become mastered. We are aware that you already feel this to be so.

The question of what to do about it in your own existence is twofold. In the first place, what you do within your own situation, spiritually speaking, we would suggest, will be a function of one thing only, and that is your understanding of the lesson which you are to learn. Each situation that you surround yourself with in general is a part of a lesson or a lesson for you. We are not referring to daily details which occur under the simple laws of chance. We are referring to the overall trend of generalized direction or general dimension of your situation. Whatever the difficulty is in this situation, the approach we would suggest spiritually is to take it, as we may predictably say, to meditation. Out of meditation, come with some understanding. Not in your life, but simply in you of the lesson of the job to be done within that situation in doing the job, in as workmanlike and cheerful a manner as your meditation has given you the ability to maintain. As you accomplish your work within that lesson, the circumstances about you will alter of their own accord.

The group question for this session was: “As the physical body grows, the entity within is educated upon those portions of your planet which are now receiving the aid of technological advances. This enables his intellect to grow and his body to grow and what to do about it.” Hatonn began by saying that it is often that these words are misunderstood, so the difficulty, is the use of our intellect that is taught to all people who have been educated because there is little spiritual training that would be helpful in supplying a spiritual development in a growing entity, so as our physical body grows, then we are educated upon those portions of our planet which are receiving the aid of technological advances, and this enables our intellect to grow and our body to grow, so there is much lacking after these two items have become mastered. Then Hatonn said the question of what to do about it in our own existence is twofold, and in the first place, what we do within our own situation, spiritually speaking, will be a function our understanding of the lesson which we are to learn, so each situation that surrounds us is a lesson for us, but Hatonn is not referring to details which occur under the laws of chance, but they are referring to the trend of the dimension of our situation, so whatever difficulty is in this situation, the approach they would suggest spiritually is to take it to meditation since out of meditation comes understanding, not in our life, but in the lesson of the job to be done in as cheerful a manner as our meditation has given the ability to maintain, so as we accomplish our work within that lesson, the circumstances about us will alter of their own accord. On September 28, 2023, Q’uo said that whatever difficulty we face can be solved by using meditation:

Your third density is filled with a variety of opinions and positions upon one level of experience and another, whether it is economical, political, financial, social, intimate relations one to one. It is your journey through all this miasma of distress and suffering that you seek within yourself, and perhaps ask advice of friends, looking for whatever resources you can to discover a way out of the suffering. The suffering has the ability to focus your attention most poignantly upon how you feel, what you need, what you lack and in that case.

Many times, there can be some progress made if you surrender your ideas of how to solve whatever difficulty you are confronting. Surrender it to perhaps the process of meditation or contemplation, where you seek information and direction from a higher source, an inner source. Perhaps it is one of your guides, your higher self, the Creator. For you are the Creator my friends.

And within that seeking and surrender, perhaps there will be a message given, a direction implied, an intuitive feeling that becomes a guiding star that takes you from where you are to where you wish to be: which is resolution, the resolution of difficulty of suffering, and to realize, as you look back upon it, that it has taught you much by having to experience the suffering.

The constant feeling of pressure from outside is an illusion, my friends. Sometimes, an extremely heavy one, but only an illusion. Your lessons will be learned from within. This is our feeling about the truth, spiritually speaking. We are aware that technology presses hard against spiritual seeking. And may seem in many ways a harsh antithesis. And yet, my friends, all things are one, and so meditation on a regular basis will proceed with you as you go along the path. The question of how to instill the type of training of the spirit to which we refer is a question that is very difficult for us to answer for you. It would be necessary to have communities centered about the great truths of the spirit. It would be necessary to have in each person and in each such group of people who have banded together, a spirit of understanding and seeking. It would simply be necessary to have a completely different type of environment than you have. There is much that can be done within the sanctity of your own life. Those people of like mind may provide for you, and those dependent upon you, an atmosphere conducive to spiritual growth.

In your own household, much may be done to encourage the constant awareness of the love of the infinite Creator. Where growing entities are aware, as their bodies and their minds mature, that their infinite and eternal spirit was real and was capable of maturing also. If there was a place they might choose to go and with no pressure or suggestion, seek their own peace and find their own truth, then the training for the spirit might be a much more possible thing for those upon your planet surface. Needless to say, my friends, we have not found rich earth for planting this idea in many places. However, you are welcome to it.

Then Q’uo said the feeling of pressure from outside is an heavy illusion, and our lessons will be learned from within, and Hatonn said this was their feeling about the truth, spiritually speaking, and they are aware that technology presses hard against spiritual seeking and may seem like a harsh antithesis, and yet all things are one, and so meditation on a regular basis will proceed with us as we go along the path, so the question of how to instill the type of training of the spirit to which they refer is a question that is difficult for them to answer for us because it would be necessary to have communities centered about the great truths of the spirit, and it would be necessary to have in each person and in each group of people who have banded together, a spirit of understanding and seeking, and it would be necessary to have a completely different type of environment than we have since there is much that can be done within the sanctity of our life, so those people of like mind may provide for us, and those dependent upon us, an atmosphere conducive to spiritual growth, so Hatonn went on to say in our household, much may be done to encourage the constant awareness of the Love of the infinite Creator where we are aware, as our bodies and minds mature, that our infinite spirit was real and was capable of maturing also, so if there were a place we might choose to go with no pressure to seek our peace and find our truth, then the training for our spirit might be more possible for those upon our planet’s surface, so Hatonn has not found rich earth for planting this idea in many places, but we are welcome to it. On July 7, 1974, Hatonn described how our infinite spirit is able to grow and mature:

My friends, your physical bodies and your personal sense of self which you call ego is a ball and chain to you, making your infinite spirit to take great pains in order to move about. You, whose birthright is freedom, have to crawl about on the sides of… using mechanical conveyances when within you is freedom to be anywhere at any time. We offer you some simple instructions on how to lighten and remove the hampering limitations of your ball and chain. This set of instructions has to do with meditation. In meditation, my friends, you are separating the sense of body and the sense of ego from the sense of consciousness. And you are freeing your consciousness to be at one with the source of Love and Light that is the infinite Creator. Only through meditation and its allied pursuits can you remove your own need of this ball and chain.

At this time, my friends, I will leave this instrument. I leave you in the Creator’s love and light. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and pumped enough of the water, that came from two inches of rain yesterday, out of the fishpond so that the fountain could regain its natural height. Then I noticed that one of the Elderberry Bushes that grow around my garage had been blown down, so I used my limb loppers to cut up its branches and filled a garbage can with them. Then I went over to the Wuthering Heights Mound and transplanted ten more Red Begonias in the areas where the Zinnas have died out.

This afternoon I listened to Carla channel Ra in Session #73 with Anna in Nashville after she sent me her link that would allow our computers to function together as one. In this session Ra spoke about the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram, white ritual magic, healing, sexual energy transfers, mental energy transfers, and spiritual energy transfers.

The Happy Tune Of Silence

I am of the principle of the full consciousness of Love, and I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ

The busy hubbub of the crowded city is enfolded in silence. And in that silence is enfolded transformative power.

Now, within the meditation, that silence is greeted. And as the spirit listens, it becomes aware of the infinite color and variety of the flashing face of Spirit.

Now is the time, in silence and in meditation, to embrace that seemingly angry hubbub of city, and all that it implies of civilization’s distresses and discomforts.

Now is the time to realize a sense of the power of the silence so that, as you walk from meditation into daylight, your steps may not falter because of what you see, or hear, or sense. For you are the vehicle of eternity, and it is your choice to live in power or in oppression. Find the silence and raise high its endless, happy tune.

We leave 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn quote comes from April 3, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn: There is quite a bit of difficulty with this contact, but we will do the best that we can.

We wish to give a few thoughts at this time. You may remember in reading the holy work which you call the Bible that the master known as Jesus had a simple reaction to the upsetting type of illusion which he faced. His reaction was to inform it that it was an illusion. When he was confronted with a very stormy sea, he said “Peace. Be still.” And by understanding that the difficulty was an illusion that vision caused his own reality to become peaceful and still. The ability to look at the illusion upon your planet and say to it, “Peace. Be still,” is very dearly earned. We are aware, my friends, of the great efforts which a person who lives upon the surface of your planet and enjoys your illusion must make to be able to accomplish the detachment of which we speak. And yet, my friends, once this is accomplished, we may suggest to you that you may find it to have been worth the effort and more than worth the effort. For reality, my friends, is a freedom that is a great joy to those who have never known what lies beyond the illusion of storm.

We are aware, my friends, that at this time those of your group who have been faithful are beginning to prepare themselves as channels in one way or another. And this gives our hearts great gladness. And we only give you this thought that there is a, “Peace. Be still,” to be inserted before any information is passed in order for you as the channel to be sure that you do not say that which has not been asked. And that you say what you say in such a way that it does not infringe.

We are aware, as we said, of the great difficulties of operating in reality while in the illusion that you enjoy upon the surface of your planet. But this service of yours needs the purity of that, “Peace. Be still.” It needs the detachment to listen to what is answered, and it needs the ability to allow oneself to be linked to the higher, infinite mind that will answer truth. Incorrect information or information given at the wrong time may not be of service, so in the midst of our rejoicing that you are channels may we also give you this simple caution [inaudible]. And may we offer our service always, at any time, to help you in any way that we can. To give you our thoughts directly if you are a channel, or to speak without words informing your own thoughts so that you may speak for us.

On April 10, 1974, Carla channeled both Laitos and Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos. I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. I and my brothers are very privileged to be among you this evening. We will be conditioning those of you who desire it, and we will be using the next few moments in order to communicate to you through the medium of silence. We are pleased with your progress, and we wish especially at this time to give you an awareness of certain truths. If you will avail yourselves to our contact, we will communicate with you directly. You will be able to sense our presence. I will leave this instrument at this time, and we will be with you. We are also with you, we of Laitos and others who help the brothers of Hatonn, at any time you may need our services. It is our great privilege to oblige. I will leave this instrument now. Adonai.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my brethren, in the love and in the light of our infinite Father. We are most pleased to be with this group once more this evening. We have been watching the proceedings, and we and our brothers of Laitos will continue to condition each of you that desire this conditioning. This conditioning, my friends, is not a unified phenomenon. It is a variable one, for it depends completely upon its effect on the individual who is receiving it.

The conditioning wave, my friends, is sent in a blanket wave. Some physical vehicles are attuned to accept the conditioning wave in a certain way so that it shows up immediately as certain feelings of energy. Others may not experience immediate sensation, yet they too are receiving conditioning, and their physical vehicles are becoming more closely attuned to the conditioning wave. There are many reasons why some people experience variations in the conditions however it is sent, and it is received. There are varying lengths of time necessary in individual cases for the conditioning wave to begin to manifest in the manner recognizable within the physical illusion as conditioning, as you call it. We are, however, satisfied that the wave is doing its work as we see each individual who is seeking the conditioning making progress towards a full ability to receive the wave in its most efficient form for producing instruments. This is, of course, only given upon request.

My friends, how privileged we are to speak with you this and each time we do. We have so much to say and yet our brothers were most correct earlier in accepting the silence also as an active point for more advanced messages. We do not wish to bore you with speeches. You are in a garden at this point, my friends. In you holy works it is called the Garden of Eden, and in the garden there is perfection; there is safety; there is protection against all, against each, against every possible evil for, indeed, my friends, within the Garden of Eden there is no evil. You are in this place as you meditate, my friends, for this place is reality. This perfect garden is truly your home.

My friends, take this high place, this garden, this home, and live in it in your mind—not just in meditation, but always. Keep it close. Reach for it. Move into it. Keep it by you. Use it. Live in it. Become one with the garden, for this is your true identity, and in this realization your shining beauty will give grace and happiness to many.

Then on April 12, Carla was channeling Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and in the light of our infinite Father. It is, as always, my pleasure and privilege to speak with those who are seeking. My brother Laitos is here. He is in the room with you. He will be conditioning those of you who desire this service. My friends, we would like to take this opportunity to say a few things about desire. Desire is a somewhat misunderstood phenomenon upon planet Earth, the misunderstanding lying principally in the feeling that one has desires about only certain sorts of objects. My friends, the term “desire” is very pale for what we are aware of as desire. The truth, my friends, is much closer to the intensity of fire. There is, however, no such word as what we are looking for and we use the word desire.

Each incident that you experience in your present activities is a result of one thing, my friends—desire. The work of past desire is brought to fruition in the present. And for the future, my friends, while in this illusion it is reasonable to speak of the illusion of the future. Your desire at this time shapes your future. It is your future, my friends. You were given complete freedom of choice by an infinitely loving Creator. Give back to Him the highest desire you can be aware of. Be aware, my friends, that there is much to transcend. There are many levels of earthly desires that may be transcended fairly rapidly by those who seek. The more esoteric intellectual desires may soon be passed by those who truly seek. Are you aware, my friends, that you may desire to be a star? Are you aware, my friends, that it is permissible to desire any and all of the understandings that you wish to know?

The shape of the path that you follow is ever towards the infinity of the circle of unity, as you reach the reality of planet, of star, of open space, of infinity itself, as you begin to become aware of how far your desire may take you towards the Love of the Father, so you may turn back to the present and concentrate, my friends, concentrate upon the purity and the essence of this desire. You wish to know, to understand and to accept the truth—the highest truth—and as you do this, my friends, you will be moving. As well as you do this so well, will you move towards that which you seek, for it is desire alone that will impel you forward. Your desire, my friends. Your desire. We can only encourage you and give you food for thought. The sun shines beautifully upon your planet everywhere the same, and yet, my friends, if you have what you call a lens the sunlight may be so focused that it will burn paper. This, my friends, is desire. Desire to know the infinite Creator in the highest way of which you are capable. We are most happy to be of service to you in this seeking at any time in any way we can. At this time, I will transfer this contact. I am Hatonn.

[Pause]

(Carla channeling)

I am again with this instrument. We apologize for the delay. There was some difficulty. We will leave this instrument at this time, leaving only in the sense of vocal contact. We are with you. Seek, my friends. Seek and focus. Meditation is the focusing point. We leave you in His love and His light. Farewell my brothers. I am Hatonn.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to trim the weeds out of the Striped Liriope Garden and the Astilbe Garden in the back yard. Then I used my trimmer to trim the weeds off of all of the brick walks in the back yard. This afternoon I used my trimmer to trim along the inside of the Forsythia bushes on the south, west, and north boundaries of my property in the back yard, and then I trimmed the outside of the same Forsythia bushes. Then I hand-weeded the Hosta next to the Astilbe Garden and the Hosta on the other side of the Astilbe Garden in the back yard.

Increasing Your Joy

Greetings in the Love of Christ. We are of the consciousness of that Love, the Spirit of Christ in the vibration which comforts this child.

It is a characteristic of a life lived in faith that the quality of experience clarifies and improves when the faithful remind themselves continuously of the happy fidelity which has been chosen. Your Creator does not worship Itself. It turns in Its expression to a Love of you.

You, then, may turn from the love of self also to express exultation in the excellence of Love, of the Love of the Creator and of the principles of Love that you have been given for Teacher, Comforter and Friend. In sharing joy, so you increase that joy. In opening to give praise, so you shall receive clarity and peace.

That peace I leave with you, now and always.

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.

2025-06-12

I did the Morning Offering and got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling is from March 18, 1974:

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Hatonn. It is a very great privilege to speak with you. And it is a pleasure [inaudible]. There is much confusion upon the surface of the Earth. And it is a privilege indeed to be communicating with those who are seeking. The Light that you see during the day is in fact beauty and power. You and your brothers and I and my brothers, and each individual [inaudible] share this reality. In meditation you come, and do not bring your intellect, my friends. Drop it, put it down. It will not serve you; it will only beguile you. Relax, meditate, and if you wish us to serve you it is our greatest pleasure to be with you and help in any way that we can.

I will now attempt to contact another, if she will avail herself.

Then in the first meditation on March 19, 1974, Carla channeled Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am very happy to be using each new instrument. I and my brothers are most privileged to be working with you. It is our only desire to serve you in any way that we can, and to help all on the surface of your planet that we can contact who wish to be contacted. And so, we are very pleased to be developing new instruments such as yourselves. And we assure you that if you desire to obtain this ability, it will come to you. You need only relax, meditate, and avail yourselves to our contact. We will at any time be available to give you the thoughts of the teachings of [inaudible] as you desire it.

My friends, your meditations are like a kind of storing up of another energy. A charging, if you will, a raising of your potential forces. Consider this, my friends, it is indeed a service, one in which we wish to help you any we can, for you to channel our thoughts directly. But, my friends, are we not all channels, always in all our aspects do we not demonstrate something? What, my friends, do you demonstrate? Look about you, my friends, look at the water as it rides along the shore, flowing freely, not choosing, but going infinitely, equally, from place to place. See the rain as it falls upon the sea. It does not choose to fall over here or over there, but it spreads equally. Consider the atmosphere, my friends, it ever flows around your poles [inaudible]. It equalizes itself, not selecting this or that course, but choosing them all. The Earth, my friends, [inaudible] but does not choose, my friends. It gives what service it has to give to those who ask. Consider that you are channels, my friends, every day, in all that you do and say. You reflect something. Take the potential that you have raised, my friends, and [inaudible] within you. Take it, for indeed you have it and demonstrate it as best you can, for you are already channels, yet there is a place for contacts of a direct nature [inaudible] such as these and many others that you have heard from the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. It is our very great pleasure to be with you. At this time, I will attempt to transfer this contact to another.

And in the second meditation on March 19, 1974, Carla once again channeled those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. As I was saying, my friends, your seeking is most important. It may be thought of, shall we say, as a projector of which there are two components, the aimed direction of the projector, and the force which impels that seeking upon the projector. The seeking itself is largely the directional portion of the projector. The energy which impels this seeking is the function of the unity which is present between you and the creation. There is an infinite amount of energy available to all entities at all times, and when properly directed and fully realized, there is no limit to how far one may seek. However, the degree of realization of the unity between the seeker and the creation of which he is a part varies from individual to individual, and it is through meditation that a closer and firmer realization of this unity is obtained. With the seeking carefully centered, aimed, and prepared, and with the energy channel opened, you embark upon your seeking.

We are aware that it is not always as simple in the doing as in the telling, and we do not wish to infer that we are not aware of the difficulties of working within the illusion that you now enjoy. But, my friends, what you seek is all about you. You have walled yourself away from what you seek because, within the illusion, it seems to be a safety-making factor to have walls, physical walls, mental walls of defense, emotional limits beyond which each individual does not go. For, he wishes to be safe within his walls, and within his illusion, these walls make him safe.

But, my friends, this is the illusion. The reality is that you are part of the unity. There is none other than you. That which you seek is that which you are. You need only come into full realization of this unity, and that which you seek will be yours. This, my friends, is your birthright. It is our great privilege to be attempting to alert those of your planet who wish to hear this, that this is true. We hope that these thoughts have been of service to you. I will leave this instrument at this time. I leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu.

And on March 23, 1974, Carla channeled Hatonn at the Saturday meditation:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. It is my privilege to be with you this evening. We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator are always privileged to be able to speak with those upon the surface of your planet who wish understanding. This is our service to the people of this Earth. And yet, this service is indirect. It is, my friends, understanding that we feel to be the most valuable commodity that we can offer you. Our understanding has enabled us to do some things which those upon the surface of the planet upon which you now live do not enjoy. We can understand miraculous things, which are not miraculous at all to us, and that we can promise to anyone who wishes to seek are not miracles and may become natural things.

And how do we do this? Indirectly, my friends. We wish to give a way of understanding; we do not wish to insist or to convince. We have suggested that the way to understanding is meditation. My friends, this suggestion, in one form or another, has been before the people of your planet many, many times in the past. The great teacher, known to your people as Jesus, understood the truth of spiritual seeking and demonstrated in His daily life the spiritual seeking of which we speak.

Those of you who have wished it are receiving conditioning, and we will be with you at any time to aid you in whatever way we can. Our gift and our service to you is simply our understanding of the truth. We are still seeking. We are not of the ultimate authority, nor would we ever insist upon anyone listening to what we have to say if another mode of thinking seemed more profitable. So, my friends, understanding is possible only for one person at one time. Each person is completely free at any time to choose. This is why we are indirect. We may say things to you that you may consider them in the privacy of your own thoughts, and what you choose to do is completely your own idea.

This is as it should be, my friends. And what is our understanding? Our understanding, my friends, of this illusion, which is taken for the physical life upon your planet, is that it consists of a path, of a road, to be followed, and of lessons to be learned. There are as many paths as there are people, my friends, and there are no set lessons. But after a great many lessons have been met, my friends, there comes a time when all of the lessons change to a different set. And those who are ready for the change go on to a new set of lessons. It is our understanding, my friends, that the planet known as Earth approaches the end of one set of these lessons. And thus, graduation is at hand for some and not at hand for others. And that there are many people balanced very delicately between going on and repeating these lessons for another cycle or time. It is our desire, my friends, to aid those who are almost ready to graduate.

In their graduating, we have some success in the past in giving this service to other peoples in other places and times. We are hopeful of doing this same thing here. This is our fervent desire, for in our service to you lies our service to ourselves. It is by our serving you that we are able to progress upon our spiritual path. Our only hope is to be able to aid you in every way that we can.

At this time, I will attempt to condition those of you who desire it, if you will avail yourselves to my contact.

[Inaudible]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am again with this instrument. I will leave you at this time, my friends. I leave you in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. Seek understanding, my friends. Seek through meditation and seek to know there was a reason that the master teacher known as Jesus retreated from time to time to a place where there was silence. There was something he was seeking. Seek for the silence where there is much understanding awaiting you. I leave you now, but I will be with you any time you desire my contact. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning, I went outside and discovered that the problem that I had yesterday with the pump on the fishpond separating itself from the tube that connects to the fountain had happened again. So I went through the same process of taking all of the tape off of the tube, but this time after I finished taping the tube onto the connecting outlet in the pump I also taped the tube onto the entire pump with the hope that this will keep the pump connected to the tube that creates the fountain of water to provide oxygen for the fish to breathe. After I put the pump back into the schemer and secured the netting, I plugged in the pump to be sure that it would not throw water out of the fishpond. I will turn the pump off at night for the next week or so to be sure that it is working correctly.

This afternoon I used Venus to cut the grass all around my home, and then I used my limb loppers to cut three small Maple trees out of the large Forsythia Bushes behind the garage.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 12

The Abiding Peace

I am the Spirit of the principle of the consciousness of Christ and I greet you in that Love.

I move to comfort you at this time by suggesting that you meditate upon the perfection of the abiding peace which lies beneath your actions, for there is great comfort available to you, as the in-breath which contains your spiritual food. Each time that you breathe in it is possible for you to become the living quality of Christ, for as breath is Light to your bodies, so the same breath contains food for your spirit, a manna which your souls desire.

Breathe deeply, my children, of the Love within each moment, and when you breathe out let your emanations express all of the best that you have to give. And if you stumble, continue to breathe, for every breath is an opportunity to focus on Love and to fill your life with that Love.

Peace be with you, now and always.

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.

2025-06-11

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today I am beginning to work with Carla’s first channeling experiences, and the first one was a very short one on February 23, 1974:

 (Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am with this instrument. I am having much difficulty with this instrument.

Then on March 5, 1974, she wrote a report about her next contact with Hatonn:

Carla: I am recording this in the form of a report because I did not have the microphone on and so cannot furnish a transcription. I am writing down as much of the message I received as I can remember and noting the experience as a whole for the record. In retrospect, I feel it helped me learn about doing a better job of channeling.

Yesterday, the fourth, we had a very large group for meditation, and Don was not here. Nor was R, nor was M. R and M are the now more accomplished of the new channels, and Don is the oldest channel in the group and very reliable. There are many people in this group who have been getting conditioning. Eight people were here who have been getting conditioning that I am sure of. They have not yet really developed as channels. They have channeled one message each. And these were very short.

We simply did not have any microphones on. I felt that I was ready to channel. I heard or was aware of certain thoughts that came into my mind, and I spoke them. There was, of course, a good deal of doubt in my mind later as to whether the thoughts were mine or whether they were actually channeled, especially, since there was not a more dependable channel there to correct me if I made an error.

What the message was about mainly was simply a greeting to everybody and a statement of how pleased Hatonn and Laitos were to be here. And that they would condition all those in the room who wished it and attempt to use each new instrument that they could use, very briefly. They didn’t use anybody else but me. Although afterwards two other instruments stated that they could’ve spoken, but they were “chicken.” It is very easy to be “chicken” because when you begin to get a thought all you get is the first, which is usually, “I am Hatonn.” And unless you say that aloud, they won’t go on to the next bit, unless you say it to yourself. Which is how I got up the courage in the first place, because I said it to myself and got about the first paragraph, and I realized that I was going to get a message.

So, today, there was no one here for the first time in a long time, and my meditation was by myself, and I had been thinking to myself all day and as many times, as I believed in other people’s channeling, I did have the predictable problem very much of self-doubt, and so when I sat down and meditated, and I was meditating I thought to myself, “Hatonn, if it really is an occurrence, I want conditioning now,” and I began getting conditioning and when my jaw finally opened and that unmistakable “I,” I said it. And sure enough, I got a thought, and it led to another one and it led to another one, so I went on and channeled Hatonn to myself. And it was short. It said, “I am Hatonn. I am very privileged to be with you. I am pleased to see that you are meditating. I will recommend to you that you relax more because if you wish to become a channel, and if you wish us to direct you there is no way for us to do that if you are misdirecting yourself.”

There was a pause after for the thought to sink in and then he just said, “I leave you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. I am Hatonn.” So, I am now able to do it, and I had a sense of it actually being over. I could feel that the contact had lifted, and I wanted to ask a question, so I said, “Hatonn, can I ask a question?” and immediately I could feel that there was presence as though a computer had come on and was kicking over or something and I said, “How can I meditate better?” And I got the thought, “Think of nothing. You are thinking of something.”

End of report.

And then on March 6, 1974, Carla had her first channeling with Hatonn when the microphones were on:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you, my friends, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to be with you this evening. We of the Confederation of Planets in Service of the Infinite Creator are always privileged to speak with you. We have had much difficulty in contacting this instrument as she was not in a relaxed state. However, she has become more relaxed. My brother Laitos is also here and will be conditioning each of you who desires it.

My friends, we come across the deeps of dimensions you know not to speak with you, and yet you are asleep. And though you hear us you do not hear us. My friends, what you hear is truth and yet not truth. What you take in with your physical senses is only true for the illusion and, my friends, this illusion is a very small part of the creation. My friends, you come here; you come to each meeting, and you sit at each meditation in an attempt to awaken from the slumber only knowing the illusion of truth. Meditation, my friends, is the great bridge to the total creation of the Father. It is your birthright, my children, all the children of the Father. All of us together are the Creation. Through meditation we can begin to become more aware of it. This is true of us, also. And this is our service to you. We encourage you to continue meditation and, my friends, we encourage you to stop yourself at each point in the illusion at which you think a thought and ask yourself how much of the truth of that thought applies to the real creation of the Father.

This instrument is tiring. I will attempt to contact another instrument and will leave this instrument at this time. I am Hatonn.

And on March 8, 1974, Carla channeled those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. As I was saying, my friends, [inaudible] like a seed being planted, in the attempt to give service or information to those people of your planet who seek it. Like seeds in the ground, my friends, there is darkness. There is darkness also in the conscious and waking reality of those people of your planet who are beginning to seek, as they feel that they are awake, yet they are asleep and in darkness. And just as people who are asleep and dreaming, while their real bodies are in their beds and safe, they may well imagine themselves killed. Such a thing does not happen; they awake and discover that reality was other than they thought. My friends, true understanding of the true reality is like this. And how do those of us who wish to serve begin to sow the seed? We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator can only come to you to urge you to meditate, to seek, to turn to the Creator of us all for His Love and His Light. That is all you can do, my friends.

And why can you do no more? Consider, my friends, that each man has a handprint uniquely his own. No one else’s handprint in the whole world can match it. Consider each leaf or snowflake, and realize that there has never been a duplicated entity. The way from this illusion—which is a tiny part of reality—to reality cannot be measured, and is as individual as your handprint. There is, however, a quality whereby the circumstances for understanding may occur. This quality is more possible to obtain in meditation, for by it the intellect, which is responsive only to the illusion about you, is stilled. My friends, I am very pleased that you are attempting to persevere in this attempt to serve. We assure you, I and my brothers, that we are always with you, and are here to serve you, whether through an instrument such as this one, or through meditation by direct contact.

I will leave this instrument now, and continue to condition those of you who desire it. I am Hatonn.

On March 9, 1974, Carla again channeled those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Hatonn. As I was saying, seeking, my friends, is extremely important. And yet, through the powers of your intellect, with the best of intentions it is possible to make it seem complicated. There is the complication in your vision of the concept of time. And there is the complication in your vision of the concept of space. And you say, “Where, and when, may I seek? In what place may I find holy ground? And at what time may I seek the Creator?” My friends, you are the Creator. For the Creator is you. And, my friends, as it is written in your holy works, the place whereon you stand is holy ground. There is no complication in time, for all time is here and now. There is no complication in place, for all place is here and now.

My friends, there is naught but seeing; there is naught but the Creator. It is only necessary for you to turn inwardly, into the Light, and enter the Light. These words are poor, but they lead the way to a new understanding. It is not necessary to have the most perfect meditation or the most proficient spiritual moments in order to be seeking. It is necessary only to turn your will. For, my friends, your will to seek is as important as the source.

It is good that you meditate. It is good that you appreciate those things in your illusion that you wish to appreciate. All of these things are here for your experience. It is, however, not necessary to feel that they are [inaudible]. Only seek. It has been my privilege to speak with you. I leave you, here and now, everywhere at once in the creation, and at all times. We are one in Love and in Light. We are the Creator. Adonai. Adonai vasu.

On March 10, 1974, Carla began the channeling session by channeling those of Hatonn:

(Carla channeling)

Hatonn: Greetings, my brothers and sisters, in the love and the light of our infinite Creator. It is indeed my privilege to speak with you this evening. We apologize for having some difficulty. I and my brothers are here only to serve you, my friends. And it is a very great pleasure to be here. We offer conditioning to those of you who desire this. We serve you, and we seek. Serving is seeking. The two words seem different: to seek and to serve. One suggests that you need something, and one suggests that you have something, for those who seek must need, and those who serve must have to give away. And so, I would like to speak, my friends, about these two words. You are seeking, and you are seeking to serve. It is a paradox, is it not, my friends? It is a paradox, as are all intellectual things. And yet it is the simple truth, that they are one thing.

In this illusion of Earth, my friends, those of your planet are [inaudible] as though they were supplicants: poor, needful, and ever lacking those things which they need to progress. And so they go on a pilgrimage, some to gain physical security, and some to seek the spiritual in life. But there is the concept of seeking which will garner a type of treasure that can be held, and can be shown, and can be counted. Perhaps we would call this, my friends, dealing from a position of weakness. In this illusion, my friends, it would seem possible to be weak, to be limited, and to be in need. Yet this illusion is banished by reality. And this reality is what we seek. And when we seek reality, we turn either very far inward or very far outward—another paradox, my friends—into the Light. And we find that we are not dealing from a position of poverty, but that we have all that we have been seeking.

But we are indeed dealing from a position of complete strength. Because we are infinite. You, my friends, are infinite. You do not need help. You only need realization. All I can tell you, all you can learn, all that is possible in this infinite creation is abiding eternally within you. For you are one with all that there is. In the illusion, my friends, I am aware that I would be doing you a disservice if I did not realize that you have much to contend with, for the illusion is very strong. But so much of the illusion suggests to you that the illusion itself lacks spirituality because various things are various and sundry ways, and they do not suit you. And it would seem perhaps that spirituality might consist in more manageable and more uniform things in your environment. The illusion is as evanescent as a bubble: pop! And it will be gone. It is as fleeting as a dream. Soon, you will awaken. It will change, as does day to night, and night to day. You need not do more than appreciate the infinity of the creation even in the tiny part which is the illusion. And then, my friends, relax, and let the illusion float by you. Rest in the confidence of your seeking, and of your seeking to serve. For you have much to give, my friends. At this time, I will transfer this message to another instrument.

This morning I went outside and used a box cutter to cut the duct tape off of the tube that connects the pump to the fountain. Then I discovered that the small end of the tube that connects the pump to the fountain had come off. I scraped the super glue that still remained on the tube off of the small end of the tube, and then I put six layers of duct tape on it in order to make it fit as tightly as possible Then I put super glue on it and forced it into the pump. Then I put the pump back into the schemer, covered the schemer with its plastic top and the heavy flat stone on the plastic top. Then I ran more water into the fishpond until the height of the fountain reached just inside the edge of the schemer without going out of the fishpond.

This afternoon I went outside and used my trimmer to trim the weeds away from all of the flower bed around the fish pond, and then I used it to deadhead the Dianthus flowers along the parking area in front of my home. Then I deadheaded the flowers on both sides of the Flower Fall Mound.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

Rejoicing And Praising

Greetings in the Love of Jesus Christ. I am of the principle of the consciousness of Love in the vibration which comforts this child.

As we have been speaking with you, we have refrained from using the usual appellations of lordship and kingdom, power and might. We have done this in order that you may perceive that we are part of consciousness, as you are part of consciousness, and are very near to you, not shutting you out but welcoming you in to the consciousness which all may share.

Why, then, have words like “Lord” and “Holy” and “Blessed” and “Most High” been given to Jesus the Christ, to His Father, and to that principle of which I am a part? My children, search within yourselves to see if you can rejoice without praising or worship without exalting. It is a thing man made for his own benefit, the naming and the praising.

For we who communicate the consciousness of Love wish to offer inspiration and a feeling that there is a true mystery. And mankind, having seen the mystery, must express praise and joy in his own way.

Therefore, as you adore, use all the phrases that lift you up. And lift up Love, without self-consciousness but in the knowledge that you are urging yourselves on in a good race. For the more you laugh and rejoice in Love, the closer your consciousness is to dwelling within the consciousness and the kingdom of heaven.

Peace be with each of you.

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.

2025-06-10

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 02, 2011:

Jim: The question this evening is from T in Taiwan. “Q’uo, please tell us something about the seeking and the enlightenment of Gautama Siddhartha, aka, the Buddha. What does this story tell us about spiritual enlightenment?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we attend this circle of seeking this evening. We wish to thank each of you for calling us to your group and for taking the time out of your lives to seek the truth in this manner. You help us greatly as we have offered our service to do just that, speak with those who ask on the questions they designate.

As always, before we begin, we would ask each of you to use your discernment in listening to what we have to say, taking those things which are helpful from our thoughts and leaving the rest behind. We appreciate your doing this as it will ease our minds to know that we do not need to be concerned about infringing on your free will. Thank you for this consideration.

The query this evening has to do with the one known as Siddhartha, or the Buddha, and what he has to teach about spiritual enlightenment. We find in order to approach this in a way which may be more helpful, we would take some time to speak about the two strains of religious thought that are encapsulated in the teachings of the one known as Jesus the Christ and the one known as the Buddha. Both entities, Jesus and Siddhartha, offer tremendous resources to those who are seeking the truth. They have different areas of appeal but that which they hold in common is powerful. To them both the seeking of the Creator, service to the Creator, time spent in the company of the Creator are all in all. To both, there is no priority greater than spiritual seeking. Both of them lived lives that indicated this preference, this concern, and this devotion.

There are two different styles of seeking when gazing at these two powerful and poignant beings. To one, knowing that his kingdom was not of this world, He nevertheless entered into the world with all of His heart and soul and nothing in His heart but Love for all He saw. As He entered in, so His physical body was destroyed by that which He took upon Himself: the suffering of the world. All suffering was taken into the self and accepted. That it destroyed His physical body was not that which was important to the one known as Jesus the Christ, but rather that He do His Father’s bidding. “Not my will, but thine,” were His words.

T’s question was: “Q’uo, please tell us something about the seeking and the enlightenment of Gautama Siddhartha, aka, the Buddha. What does this story tell us about spiritual enlightenment?: Q’uo began by saying the query this evening has to do with Siddhartha, or the Buddha, and what He has to teach about spiritual enlightenment, so we find in order to approach this in a way which may be more helpful, we would take some time to speak about the two strains of religious thought that are expressed in the teachings of Jesus the Christ and the Buddha, and both entities offer tremendous resources to those who are seeking the truth, and they have different areas of appeal, but that which they hold in common is powerful, so to them both the seeking of the Creator, service to the Creator, and time spent in the company of the Creator are all in all, and to both, there is no priority greater than spiritual seeking, and both of them lived lives that indicated this devotion. Q’uo went on to say there are two different styles of seeking when gazing at these two powerful and poignant beings, and to one, knowing that His kingdom was not of this world, He entered into the world with all of His heart and soul and nothing in His heart but Love for all He saw. As He entered in, so His body was destroyed by that which He took upon Himself: the suffering of the world. All suffering was taken into the self and accepted. That it destroyed His physical body was not that which was important to the one known as Jesus the Christ, but rather that He do His Father’s bidding. “Not my will, but thine,” were His words. On July 7, 2006, Q’uo described the suffering of the world that we all can become aware of:

In your suffering you are one with the entity in Biafra who is starving to death, the entity in Iraq who is being tortured, the child in New Orleans who is being beaten, and the wife who is being brutally raped within the sanctity of her marriage. The suffering of the world is shadowed in your pain, and you are a part of that dark beauty, a part of the whole that contains those dark notes. Rejoice, for you know the cost of living more profoundly than a healthy, comfortable person.

It is interesting that entities among your people know that they shall die, and yet they fear it. Face that which is implied in suffering, that is, death itself, and know that this is a part of the experience of incarnation. Gaze firmly into the eyes of death. And when you have realized fully your mortality, open your eyes to the sunshine and the beauty of the night sky and know the privilege of living and suffering and sharing all things in this experience called living.

The Buddha saw the same world and knew that He was not of it or part of it. Consequently, His path did not move into the open heart and take all of the suffering of the world into the self. Rather, He allowed the things of the world to fall away as they seemed to want to fall away in His view. Over the period of a lifetime He was able to investigate each path in the world and conclude that that was not his path. The principle of “neti-neti, not this and not that” comes into play here. Thusly, as the Buddha allowed all to fall away except the seeking for the one Creator, the entity no longer was concerned with the suffering of the world except to pray that all suffering might cease. There was not the attempt to take on the suffering of the world; rather, the attempt was to allow the suffering of the one known as the Buddha to fall away and as suffering fell away from the Buddha, so it would fall away from the world.

The teachings of the one known as Jesus appeal to those who enjoy the feeling of an open heart, a heart open to Love. The teachings of the one known as Siddhartha appeal to those who seek Wisdom. Yet, the compassionate follower of Christ and the compassionate follower of Buddha meet in the middle where Love and Wisdom are balanced. Consequently, either path is sound and useful. And we might suggest to those who are Buddhist or Hindu and have followed the path of the Buddha for their lifetime that they investigate what it is to follow the teachings of the one known as Jesus. It is equally useful for those who have followed the teachings of Jesus over the period of their lifetime to investigate and enter into the teachings of the one known as Siddhartha.

Q’uo continued by saying the Buddha saw the same world and knew that He was not part of it, so His path did not move into the open heart and take all of the suffering of the world into the self, but He allowed the things of the world to fall away as they seemed to want to fall away in His view, and over the period of a lifetime He was able to investigate each path in the world and conclude that was not his path which is where principle of “neti-neti, not this and not that” comes into play, so as the Buddha allowed all to fall away except the seeking for the one Creator, He was no longer concerned with the suffering of the world except to pray that all suffering might cease, so there was not the attempt to take on the suffering of the world, but the attempt was to allow the suffering of the Buddha to fall away, and as suffering fell away from the Buddha, so it would fall away from the world. Then Q’uo said that the teachings of Jesus appeal to those who enjoy the feeling of an open heart, a heart open to Love, and the teachings of Siddhartha appeal to those who seek Wisdom, yet the compassionate follower of Christ and the compassionate follower of Buddha meet in the middle where Love and Wisdom are balanced, so either path is sound and useful, and we might suggest to those who are Buddhist or Hindu and have followed the path of the Buddha for their lifetime that they investigate what it is to follow the teachings of Jesus, and it is equally useful for those who have followed the teachings of Jesus over the period of their lifetime to investigate the teachings of the one known as Siddhartha. On February 19, 1989, Hatonn spoke of the balance of Love and Wisdom:

The density numbering six is that density in which the unity of the Creator is again approached as Love and Wisdom are balanced, each with the other, and that which might be called a spiritual power is gained, the power to be of service without the infringement upon the free will of another.

Remember that it is not to the extreme that awareness comes, but to the one who has been able to balance the energies of Love and the energies of Wisdom. The lifetime of the one known as Siddhartha was one in which the wealthy man became poor; the active man became quiet; the leader of armies retired from the lists and developed the habits of sitting in meditation and ferrying people across a river. Humble and modest, the Buddha was not led by intellect but by His hunger and His thirst for the presence of the infinite One. There is no better exemplar of the truth than one entity who has achieved spiritual maturity. Such a person is capable of leading others to their own discoveries by association. We could say it was done by inspiration, yet that would indicate that thought was taken to inspire and this is not so of the one known as Siddhartha. Yet His very presence became eloquent and has lighted and inspired those who follow His teachings for many, many centuries.

It is almost impossible to use words to create in others awareness, sensitivity to spirit, or inspiration. It is not impossible, but it is very difficult to use words to move people’s hearts and minds in a way that is lasting. The one known as Jesus worked upon this point by telling stories. The one known as the Buddha acknowledged this point with his silence. And in that silence stands the spiritually mature Buddha, that one who, just as you, had been full of desires, interested in wealth, influence, and power. There was not distaste, but simply a preference for not dealing with these. Why, my friends, would one not wish to take up the reins of government, military, economic leadership, and so forth? The one known as Siddhartha saw no attraction, no reason to stay within that prison of concepts, ideology, and the clash of wills that represents the government, the military, and the halls of power. This simple turning away, this freeing of the self from the prison of things, stands as a beacon, letting others know that it is possible to free the self of the burden of the love of things. It is a powerful lesson indeed.

Then Q’uo said remember that it is not to the extreme that awareness comes, but to the one who has been able to balance the energies of Love and the energies of Wisdom, so the lifetime of Siddhartha was one in which the wealthy man became poor; the active man became quiet; the leader of armies retired from the ranks and developed the habits of sitting in meditation and ferrying people across a river, so humble and modest, the Buddha was not led by intellect but by His hunger for the presence of the infinite One, and there is no better exemplar of the truth than one entity who has achieved spiritual maturity since such a person is capable of leading others to their own discoveries by association, and we could say it was done by inspiration, yet that would indicate that thought was taken to inspire, and this is not so of Siddhartha, yet His very presence became eloquent and has inspired those who follow His teachings for many centuries.

Siddhartha saw no reason to stay within that prison of ideology and the clash of wills that represents the government, the military, and the halls of power, so this freeing of the self from the prison of things stands as a beacon, letting others know that it is possible to free the self of the burden of the love of things, and it is a powerful lesson. On November 26, 1991, Q’uo spoke of how we can become a beacon to others:

For any entity which has worked upon itself, shall we say, in order to bring itself into a more complete or fuller understanding of the mysteries of evolution of mind, body, and spirit, is an entity which has begun the healing or making-whole process within the self.

As this process continues within any entity, such an entity then is as a beacon: one who radiates this more intense level of harmony to those about it, so that those about it feel the healing or harmonious energy emanating from such an entity. Such emanations tend to cause one, who is what you would call ill, to begin to vibrate in synchronistic fashion with this entity’s healing vibrations. Thus, there is the feeling of peace and of increased wellness as a result.

It is not that the one known as Buddha scorned money but that the one known as Siddhartha was not imprisoned by attaching Himself to a desire for it. Where there was no desire, there was no longer a use for that catalyst and with his whole heart and mind, the one known as Gautama gently and firmly said “not this” to each thing he encountered in the world. It is a very helpful concept to separate the things of the world from attachment to things of the world. The Buddha did not have to preach the evils of the things of the world. He simply did not desire them. To an entity swamped in desires, some of them conflicting, this freedom is precious and the way of the Buddha very, very helpful.

It is sometimes very difficult to separate entities such as Jesus the Christ, or Siddhartha the Buddha, from the institutions and cultural expectations that have grown up about these entities after their deaths. They have no control over what happens. They are no longer of this density. And those of this density, intent upon influence and power, have systematically attempted to alter the mystical teachings of these two leaders to approximate something that can make money and be sustainable. Therefore, if you wish to follow either entity, it is well to look for the source of teachings, to look for that which has been offered by these great teachers, rather than listening to the rhetoric of those who supposedly follow these teachers.

Q’uo went on to say it is not the Buddha scorned money, but that the one known as Siddhartha was not imprisoned by attaching Himself to a desire for it, so where there was no desire, there was no longer a use for that catalyst, and with His whole heart and mind Gautama gently and firmly said “not this” to each thing He encountered in the world, so it is a helpful concept to separate the things of the world from attachment to things of the world, so the Buddha did not have to preach the evils of the things of the world since He did not desire them, so to an entity swamped in desires, some of them conflicting, this freedom is precious, and the way of the Buddha very helpful. Then Q’uo said it is difficult to separate entities such as Jesus the Christ, or Siddhartha the Buddha, from the institutions and cultural expectations that have grown up about these entities after their deaths, and they have no control over what happens because they are no longer of this density, and those of this density, intent upon influence and power, have attempted to alter the mystical teachings of these two leaders to approximate something that can make money and be sustainable, so if we wish to follow either entity, it is well to look for that which has been offered by these great teachers, rather than listening to the rhetoric of those who supposedly follow these teachers. On October 31, 1993, Q’uo spoke how we may deal with things of this world:

The first way, then, that entities who are too busy with things of the world, as this instrument would put it, the first way they can reclaim time and space for worship of the one infinite Creator and filling of the heart is by gathering. One alone who meditates and seeks is tremendously powerful. Two together are far more than their addition and three or more become the universe. It is difficult simply to express how the gathering of a precious few charges the occasion with such power. However, we assure you that as you sit and listen to these words you are in a vast and powerful company, witnessed each by many whose only hope is to strengthen the Light and clarify the life within the combined energies of the group.

To follow either of these two men is very difficult because of the confusion that has arisen over centuries of distortion. Yet it is entirely possible to win through to a relatively undistorted grasp of that which is offered by the one known as the Buddha. An entity needing to look more closely at the Buddha just as an entity needing to look more closely at the one known as Jesus, the Christ, needs to do a continuing and daily amount of inner work to support the attempt, and we recommend whatever form of entering the silence would be helpful to you in order to support the realizations that you are attempting to seat within your consciousness. Both the Christ and the Buddha vibrate at a certain energy. It is a similar energy. The heart of following either entity is to avail yourself of this vibration. As you avail yourself of this vibration, you become that which you are seeking to learn. And as you gradually are able to allow this understanding, shall we say, to penetrate into the very depths and roots of your mind and consciousness, you will be able to avoid the distortion that is rampant.

Now Q’uo said to follow either of these two men is very difficult because of the confusion that has arisen over centuries of distortion, yet it is possible to win through to a relatively undistorted grasp of that which is offered by the one known as the Buddha, so an entity needing to look more closely at the Buddha, just as an entity needing to look more closely at Jesus the Christ, needs to do a daily amount of inner work to support the attempt, and Q’uo recommended whatever form of entering the silence would be helpful to us in order to support the realizations that what we are attempting to seat within our consciousness is that both the Christ and the Buddha vibrate at a similar energy, and the heart of following either entity is to avail our self of this vibration, and as we avail our self of this vibration, we become that which we are seeking to learn, and as we gradually are able to allow this understanding we will be able to penetrate into the depths and roots of our mind and consciousness, and we will be able to avoid the distortion that is rampant. On February 12, 1989, Q’uo spoke of how we may accomplish the inner work:

As the entity begins to explore that which is accepted and that which is not accepted and begins to conduct this exploration in a conscientious fashion in an ever-widening reach of the life experience, illuminating those dark corners of the consciousness, the entity will find that there is a closer and closer connection between the self and that which has previously not been accepted, so that as this process continues, the entity is slowly able to expand that realm of that which is acceptable and that which is loved.

Thus, as any entity looks upon those qualities of the self which are or are not accepted and continues this research with intensity and perseverance, the entity will begin to discover that each quality leads to other qualities, and all qualities eventually are seen to have a very close connection with the self. The ability to conduct this kind of exploration is the inner work which all religious teachings and philosophies have advised as that which is the necessary foundation work for the traveling upon the path of the seeker of truth, as it is called.

Thus, the dissatisfaction that any entity may feel for any portion of the self or any portion of the outer environment which is seen as a reflection of the self can become a motivating force that will eventually allow the entity to not only accept each quality in turn, but allow the entity to accept the polar opposite of each quality, will allow the entity to accept greater and greater portions of the self, and eventually allow the entity to accept an ever-widening field of vision that includes all about it. Thus, the ability to forgive the self is an ability which is accomplished in slow stages, as if one were peeling the layers of the onion and discovering that each is the self.

At this time, we would ask if there is a follow-up to this query among those in this circle. We are those of Q’uo.

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and are again with this instrument. We wish to thank the one known as T for his query and at this time would open the circle to any other questions that you may have. Is there another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

G: Q’uo, M writes, “When in communication with my higher self it sometimes appears as though certain requests for information are not granted. Can you comment on the principle by which the higher self would choose to withhold information in some cases and not others?”

We are those of Q’uo. We thank the one known as M for his query. My brother, the higher self can offer inspiration concerning the highest and best path to follow in an ethical situation. When asked concerning where the highest and best path is, there is a fairly reliable tendency for the higher self to be able to respond. However, the higher self is a guidance system, a resource left to you by yourself. It is not designed to do your thinking for you or to open paths that for one reason or another are not in your life path. Consequently, it may seem sometimes as though the higher self is not forthcoming. If the higher self then, the guidance system that you trust, is not forthcoming on an issue, that will tell you something. That will tell you that you are in an area where you are asking more than that guidance system can offer.

We see in this instrument’s mind the ancient joke concerning the grandmother whose grandchild is playing at the shore. A huge wave comes and sweeps away the boy and she is running up and down the shore pleading to God to bring the boy back. After several minutes of this prayer, the little boy is dumped onto the shore, safe and sound. The grandmother rushes to him, checks him over from stem to stern, and then looks up at the sky and says, “God, he had a hat.” My brother, it may be possible that you will lose your hat. Storms come, and suffering ensues. If you can stay in that fire of suffering and ask it for its gifts, out of that suffering will come spiritual maturity, lessons painfully but gratefully learned, and a surcease to that suffering. We would suggest that when the spirit within does not seem to be accommodating it is well to review your attitudes, your assumptions, and your requests of the guidance system that you trust. Realize that it is bound by the Law of Confusion and give thanks for the guidance it is able to give you.

M’s question was: “When in communication with my higher self it sometimes appears as though certain requests for information are not granted. Can you comment on the principle by which the higher self would choose to withhold information in some cases and not others?” Q’uo began by saying the higher self can offer inspiration concerning the highest and best path to follow in an ethical situation, and when asked concerning where our highest and best path is, there is a tendency for our higher self to be able to respond, but our higher self is a guidance system left to us by our self, and it is not designed to do our thinking for us or to open paths that are not in our life path, so it may seem sometimes as though our higher self is not forthcoming, and if our higher self is not forthcoming on an issue, that will tell us that we are in an area where we are asking more than that guidance system can offer. Q’uo continued by saying that we see in Carla’s mind the ancient joke concerning the grandmother whose grandchild is playing at the shore, and a huge wave comes and sweeps away the boy, and she is running up and down the shore pleading to God to bring the boy back, so after several minutes of this prayer, the little boy is dumped onto the shore, safe and sound, and the grandmother rushes to him, checks him over from stem to stern, and then looks up at the sky and says, “God, he had a hat,” so it may be possible that we will lose our hat because storms come, and suffering ensues, but if we can stay in that fire of suffering and ask it for its gifts, out of that suffering will come spiritual maturity from lessons gratefully learned, and an end to that suffering, so Q’uo suggested that when the spirit within does not seem to be accommodating it is well to review our assumptions, and our requests of the guidance system that we trust, and realize that it is bound by the Law of Confusion and give thanks for the guidance it is able to give us. On November 28, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the value of our experiencing the fire of suffering:

To ask the self to allow emotions to be refined and purified is to ask the self to walk into the fire of suffering. For if one defends against pain of an emotional type or a spiritual type, one ceases to be able to go deeper within those many, many levels of self that move into the archetypal mind. Indeed, it is through repeated experiences with such deeply painful emotions such as grief, anger, jealousy, and rage that one, oh so slowly, becomes able to bear the beauty of pure emotion.

As in all things spiritual, the paradox is that as one is able to open oneself to the pain of going deeper within one’s emotional life, one is more and more able to see, to bear, to hold, to accept the emotions of joy, bliss, and peace. For as in all of the levels and ways of understanding the one infinite Creator, the essence is always Love. Consequently, the river of grief, the river of rage, all rivers whatsoever of purified emotion, lead at last into the ocean of bliss, which is the steady state of infinite Love. It is, in a way, terrifying not to defend the self.

We are sorry not to be clearer, for we realize that it seems to you that somehow nothing should be withheld from those who truly seek. Yet we would ask you if you would consider it withholding from a third grader the principles of calculus or solid geometry. Sometimes, my brother, requests are made of spirit that cannot be fulfilled because you, as an entity, have not had the preceding information seated within your heart and mind. When you feel that you have been given less than you wish by the Holy Spirit or by your higher self, it is helpful to accept that which is given and accept as well that which is not given in the humble and earnest hope that life and learning will bring to you the requisite knowledge in order that you may indeed wrap your mind around and understand calculus and solid geometry.

It is difficult to wait for spiritual maturity to develop within the self and it is equally difficult to do so without blaming the self somehow for not being able from the beginning to know all that is needed in order for spiritual enlightenment. All we can say to you, my brother, is that we encourage you to have patience, and in your humility acknowledge that you will gladly take that which can be learned by you today. And you will ask again and again until such time as you have the maturity to understand the response.

Q’uo went on to say they are sorry not to be clearer, for they realized that it seems to us that nothing should be withheld from those who truly seek, yet they asked if we would consider it withholding from a third grader the principles of calculus because when requests are made of spirit that cannot be fulfilled because we have not had the preceding information seated within our heart and mind, so when we feel that we have been given less than we wish by the Holy Spirit or by our higher self, it is helpful to accept that which is given and accept as well that which is not given in the hope that life and learning will bring to us the requisite knowledge in order that we may understand calculus and solid geometry. Q’uo completed their reply by saying it is difficult to wait for spiritual maturity to develop within our self, and it is difficult to do so without blaming our self for not being able to know all that is needed in order for spiritual enlightenment, and all Q’uo can say is that they encourage us to have patience, and in our humility acknowledge that we will gladly take that which can be learned, and we will ask again and again until such time as we have the maturity to understand the response. On March 9, 1974, Hatonn spoke of the nature of spiritual enlightenment:


The people of this planet at this time are almost all children, in a spiritual sense. Most of them are not at this time seeking spiritual growth. This is very important, if an individual is to rapidly grow, spiritually. All of us throughout all of space are growing, in a spiritual sense. However, none of us is growing much more rapidly than others. The reason for this growth is simply that these are the ones that are seeking.

It is written in your holy works that it is necessary to seek if you are to find. This is with reference to finding spiritual enlightenment. This is in reference to developing the awareness that is necessary for man on Earth to develop if he is to take his rightful place in the creation.

We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator are aware that seeking is necessary if one is to get where he wishes to be, and he wishes to be at a higher state of awareness. Look about you, upon your planet. There are many conscious beings, in many forms of life. There are the animals, and birds, and the fish, and man on Earth. And each has a state of awareness. But it seems that man has the higher state of awareness. And yet we tell you that this awareness is very minimal. And the awareness of man on Earth can be raised to an awareness that he would consider Godlike.

But, my friends, this is what was meant for man to have. This is what was the original concept of the Creator, that this awareness would be possessed by all of His children. This is what it is necessary to seek, if you are to find this awareness.

We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if there is another query at this time?

G: Q’uo, M from Germany writes, “There have been reports in the media about an Indian Yogi named Prahlad Jani who claims that he didn’t take in any food or water for the last 70 years. Doctors who have made some medical examinations found that his body didn’t even keep the 100 milliliters of water given by researchers]daily. Prahlad says he has taken all the energy he needs through meditation.”

“Also, I read some independent studies that concluded that we would never be able to take in all the energy that we require and expend through food and water alone. So, am I right in thinking that all biological life on Earth acts as free energy devices do and that they transduce interdimensional energy? Also, what is the relationship between foodstuffs as a source of energy and subtle energy?”

We are those of Q’uo, and appreciate your query. We would say to the one known as M that entities such as the one known as Prahlad are legitimately free from the necessity of the intake of foodstuffs. This is because this entity and others like this entity have either developed within themselves through spiritual practice or by nature have been given an awareness of the subtle energies of prana and Light. We cannot say that to all humans the capacity for using the body as a free energy device exists, for it is indeed a rare entity within third density that is able to lift away from physical foodstuffs for the physical body. We find in this instrument’s mind the caution seen often on your television, “Do not try this at home.” Usually, these cautionary statements are made when the viewing audience is watching someone do a stunt or a difficult physical feat such as jumping a canyon or other risky and highly skilled maneuvers.

We would say that except for those who are seeking this freedom from foodstuffs, there is a faint possibility that you might achieve freedom from food and water and be able to live on Light, the energy of prana, yet unless such a spiritual practice were fulfilling to the one seeking in this way and opened to that entity the gateway to illumination, we would suggest focusing upon the opening of the energy body rather than the retiring of the physical body. It cannot be denied, however, that sleeping within each human of third-density Earth is the capacity to store and to use the energy of Light itself in the breath, from the sun, by awareness of the life in all things so that there is freedom from the necessity to use the body as a distillery.

We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if there is another query at this time.

G: Not one from readers abroad, Q’uo. Thank you for those responses that you offered.

We are those of Q’uo, and we thank the one known as G for his patient shepherding of these requests. May we ask if there is a query from others around the circle at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and we find no more queries in this circle. At this time, therefore, it is our time to say farewell for now. We leave you, as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu.

This is the last of nearly 500 channelings of Q’uo that Carla did from January 12, 1986, until April 2, 2011. Later in April of 2011, she had surgery on the three lowest vertebrae in her spine to increase her ability to walk, but the surgery never healed. She spent the last four years of her life in a hospital bed in our room and worked on editing A Book of Days: Channelings from the Holy Spirit. She appeared on various spiritual group’s gatherings via zoom meets, and she continued to serve as a counselor to many spiritual seekers of truth. Eventually her surgical wound became infected, and on April 1, 2015, Carla passed into larger life. Before she passed into larger life, she asked that her funeral be held on April 17 so that friends and family from around the country would be able to attend her funeral. I gave the eulogy for her funeral which can be accessed on our website, www.llresearach.org. Then click on About Us. Then click on Carla L. Rueckert. Then click on Carla’s transition. And then click on “a heartfelt eulogy.” Her channeling ability, both in trance and conscious channeling, was the best that I have ever heard or read. So, my Camelot Journal entries will now go back to the first channeling that she ever did when she began channeling those of Hatonn of the fourth density of Love and understanding which began on February 23, 1974. As time goes on, she will be channeling other Confederation sources such as Laitos and Latwii, and there may be others as well.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Yellow Creeping Jenny in the back yard. Then I transplanted four small Lilac Bushes that I accidentally pulled out of the ground when I was weeding that area three weeks ago. I had put them in a bucket of water to give their roots a chance to grow quicker and stronger, and then I watered them with fertilized water. Then I transplanted the pansies from the two pots on the front porch to an area outside of the northeast corner of the garage, and then I watered them with fertilized water. Then I drove to Thieneman’s Nursery looking for Garden Impatiens to put in the two pots that the pansies were in. They only had one tray of white Garden Impatiens and three pots of multi-colored impatiens, so I stopped by Paul’s Fruit market and bought two trays of multi-colored impatiens.

This afternoon I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden. Then I used my blower to blow the weed trimmings out of the Moss Garden. Then I transplanted the impatiens that I got at Thieneman’s Nursery and at Paul’s Nursery into the two pots on the front porch, and, because there were more impatiens than would fit in those two pots I transplanted the remainder of the impatiens into four other small gardens in the front yard. Then I used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters on the fishpond to see if that would increase the height of the fountain. While I was cleaning the filters I found a place where the pump connects to the tube that connects to the fountain had what seemed to be a slight disconnection of the tube, so I used some duct tape to tape over that area. When I turned the fountain on, I discovered that the height of the fountain had not changed. So, it looks like I will have to cut the tape off of the tube tomorrow, check the fitting with the pump, and tape it together again.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 10

The Seeds Of Godhood

I am the Spirit of the living Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of that divine Love which is the Love of Jesus the Christ.

In your nature you bear the seeds of Godhood. Those seeds have been planted by the great Sower. You may read carefully the parable of the sower and the seeds, for the soil is your own, and it is by desire, prayer, and hope that you may draw unto you that grace which is the Holy Spirit at work within your life.

It is trust in the call to the spirit that brings that spiritual rain that aids the seeds of Love and growth, that soil enhancer which enriches the sometimes poverty-stricken soil of your consciousness.

Yes, you are gods, but you are very young gods. Trust in the spirit of Love. Yearn and call for that Spirit, that those seeds which lie within you may flourish and bring forth the fruit of the spirit within the life.

Yet strive not! Worry not! But seek and, having sought, trust and allow that energy peacefully to work in your midst.

We leave you in that peace of love divine, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the prayer for 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.

2025-06-09

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 19, 2011:

Jim: The question this evening comes from T in Taiwan. “Q’uo, we in Southeast Asia would appreciate your perspective on the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan along with the subsequent nuclear crisis. How does this event fit into the context of harvest and planetary transition? What can we do to be of aid to those affected by the tragedy?”

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we visit with you this evening. Thank you for calling us to your circle of seeking. It is a pleasure to share in this working.

Before we begin, we would, as always, ask you to use discrimination and discernment as you listen to our humble thoughts. Please use those that help you, that are alive to you and that resonate within you. If our thoughts do not take you and offer you something, then please leave them behind. Do not be concerned that you will miss something, for you will hear that which is alive to you and that is the meat with which you may work.

We thank the one known as T for his query concerning the recent events in Japan that have concerned not only the Japanese but all of the world because of the results of the earthquake and tsunami being so devastating and threatening to cause a meltdown of one of your nuclear reactors. You wish to know how these events fit in with the lead-up to the fourth-density harvest and what each can do to aid those affected by this catastrophic natural disaster and its manmade complications. We would offer our thoughts first on the place that this event holds in the events that come around the time of harvest.

Firstly, we would say to you that you will find that there is a natural spike in the natural disasters of your planet that began perhaps a half century ago or more, and that this spike is continuing into the present day because of the need for your planet to process the heat of aggression, anger, and violence that has been pounded down into the Earth in various of its bodies within third density throughout the greater part of your third-density experience. Perhaps you have a good understanding of this because of the way anger and violent emotions cause you to process and go through a great deal of heavy emotional feelings. If you attempt to stifle them or talk yourself out of them, you soon find that it is useless. These feelings need to be processed.

The planet itself is alive, and it is the recipient of an increasing amount of pressure from these negative emotions of its people. It is attempting to balance itself, to heal itself of these distortions. The energy shall continue behind these extreme weather events to cause a record number of weather events for your next few years, shall we say. Gradually, and we cannot say when this might occur, there will be a lessening of these events as the energies are processed and expelled from the planetary body. For the present, however, the experience of those in Japan is as one with other places upon Planet Earth that have experienced the damage caused by extreme events. We find in this instrument’s mind the examples of the earthquake in Haiti, the earthquake in China, and the hurricane in North America in New Orleans and that area.

T’s question was: “Q’uo, we in Southeast Asia would appreciate your perspective on the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan along with the subsequent nuclear crisis. How does this event fit into the context of harvest and planetary transition? What can we do to be of aid to those affected by the tragedy?” Q’uo began by saying that we will find that there is a natural spike in the natural disasters of our planet that began a half century ago or more, and this spike is continuing into the present day because of the need for our planet to process the heat of aggression, anger, and violence that has been pounded down into the Earth in various of its bodies within third density throughout the greater part of our third-density experience, and we may have a good understanding of this because of the way anger and violent emotions cause us to process heavy emotional feelings, so if we attempt to stifle them or talk our self out of them, we find that it is useless since these feelings need to be processed. Q’uo went on to say our planet is alive, and it is the recipient of an increasing amount of pressure from these negative emotions of its people, so it is attempting to heal itself of these distortions, and the energy shall continue behind these extreme weather events to cause a record number of weather events for the next few years, and gradually there will be a lessening of these events as the energies are processed and expelled from the planetary body, but for the present the experience of those in Japan is as one with other places upon Earth that have experienced the damage caused by extreme events, so Q’uo found in Carla’s mind the examples of the earthquake in Haiti, the earthquake in China, and the hurricane in North America in New Orleans. On September 18, 1979, Hatonn spoke of the cause and cure of natural disasters on our planet:

It is only due to the meditation of those sending Love and Light to the planetary consciousness, that the many, many natural disasters of recent years have not taken an even greater toll in lives. This will continue to increase as the polarity of your people becomes more and more evident. Polarity or separation is indicative, my friends, of one thing—a lack of creativity. For what is creativity, my friends, but an understanding of creation. And what is the creation—but Love! And what is Love—but unity!

In a way, we give you not what you would consider good news, but what you might consider devastating news: that there is no quick end to the extreme weather emergencies that you may expect. The good news, my friends, is, however, that by this means, the Earth is enabling the vast majority of all human beings to dwell in peace and in safety, rather than there being one global catastrophe that would cause the planetary population of humans to be destroyed. The reason for this gradual lessening of the pressures within your planet rather than one great polar shift that would eliminate the second- and third-density populations of Planet Earth, or at least the great bulk of them, is the work of organizations and groups such as this one and many, many others.

Your people have banded together in spiritually oriented groups whose goals are to serve the Creator by serving each other. The tribe of humankind is more and more awakening to the possibilities of the evolution of the spirit. And this increasing desire to serve has brought people together into groups that respond to the less fortunate developments upon your planet with the balm of their light and their prayers and their loving thoughts. We indeed thank those who are engaged in such groups and who are proactively sending Light and Love to all those places and all those entities who need the balm of that Light and that Love.

Now Q’uo said there is no quick end to the extreme weather emergencies that we may expect, but the good news is that by this means the Earth is enabling the majority of all human beings to dwell in peace and in safety rather than there being one global catastrophe that would cause the planetary population of humans to be destroyed, and the reason for this gradual lessening of the pressures within our planet rather than one great polar shift that would eliminate the second- and third-density populations of Earth, or at least the great bulk of them, is the work of organizations and groups such as this one and many others. Q’uo went on to say that our people have banded together in spiritually oriented groups whose goals are to serve the Creator by serving each other, and the tribe of humankind is awakening more to the possibilities of the evolution of the spirit, and this increasing desire to serve has brought people together into groups that respond to the less fortunate developments upon our planet with the balm of their light, their prayers, and their loving thoughts, so Q’uo thanked those of us who are engaged in such groups and who are proactively sending Light and Love to all those places and all those entities who need the balm of that Light and that Love. On October 15, 1995, Q’uo spoke of the nature of spiritually oriented groups to work together for the betterment of all:

On the other hand, to be anthropomorphic, many of your spiritually oriented groups are aware of the delicious and pervasive magicalness that can be experienced within this illusion. And it is within groups such as yours and many others that entities can come together and more surely seek, more lovingly find, more intensely knock at the door of further—we look for a word—further development, we shall say. Yet it is more of a flowering, a blooming that takes place when entities of like mind seek together, for within such groups each is a mirror which shows the Creator to the self and the self to the self. Each face that is seen has the wonderful capacity to surprise us with a side of truth that we had not guessed before.

The second part of your query, my brother, had to do with what you can do in response to the catalyst of this great catastrophe. In order to respond to that we would offer you some thoughts upon the concept of prayer. It is easy for people to say, “I will pray for you,” when they hear challenging news about a friend or loved one. Yet behind the glib words and the good intentions, there lies a great area of potentially transformative energy. We say it is “potential transformative energy” because it takes the setting of the intention by an entity with self-awareness and choice to activate the intention of prayer. Yet when that intention is set, and when the entity moves into that environment called “the inner room” where the Creator and you are tabernacling and the spirit rests upon you, prayer is powerful.

It is difficult for entities who work with what they can see and hear with their five senses to imagine what happens when you pray because it cannot be seen. Yet when the energy is chosen, intended and offered, it is immediately at the disposal of those entities or situations for which prayer has been offered. It is as though you are sending Light from yourself in a literal sense. Those with sensitivity can see it. Indeed, this instrument recently read an account of an entity who was working to become able to travel out of the body. He did so while in a car. He was a passenger in that vehicle and free to work in consciousness. And as his group was traveling down the highway he moved out of his body. He passed an accident where people were hurt, and ambulances were called, and he wondered what all of the streamers of light were from the passing cars to the affected vehicles. When he was back in his body and analyzing the situation, he realized that he had seen the prayers of all those who gave a thought to the accident and offered that thought in sincere and heartfelt prayer.

Q’uo went on to say the second part of our query had to do with what we can do in response to the catalyst of this catastrophe, and in order to respond to that Q’uo offered us some thoughts upon the concept of prayer, for it is easy for people to say, “I will pray for you,” when they hear challenging news about a friend or loved one, yet behind the shallow words and the good intentions, there lies an area of potentially transformative energy that takes our setting of intention by our self-awareness and choice to activate our intention of prayer, yet when our intention is set, and when we move into that environment called “the inner room” where the Creator and we are tabernacling and the spirit rests upon us, prayer is powerful. Q’uo continued by saying it is difficult for us who work with what we can see and hear with our five senses to imagine what happens when we pray because it cannot be seen, yet when the energy is chosen and offered, it is at our disposal for  the situations for which our prayer has been offered, so it is as though we are sending Light from our self in a literal sense, and those with sensitivity can see it, and Carla recently read an account of an entity who was working to become able to travel out of the body while in a car since he was a passenger in that vehicle and free to work in consciousness, and as his group was traveling down the highway he moved out of his body, and he passed an accident where people were hurt, and ambulances were called, and he wondered what all of the streamers of Light were from the passing cars to the affected vehicles, so when he was back in his body and analyzing the situation, he realized that he had seen the prayers of all those who gave a thought to the accident and offered that thought in sincere and heartfelt prayer. On December 7, 1980, Latwii spoke of the power of prayer:

Prayer is a conversation. Sometimes you ask for things for yourself. Sometimes you ask intercession for others. Sometimes you only wish to say a thanksgiving to the Creator and do not have any questions to ask. Sometimes, you merely say, “What should I do today, Father?” and then you listen, that also being a prayer. A prayer is a rather privileged conversation held inwardly between yourself and the One whose Spirit will fill your life if you request it.

You are guarded by what you would call angels so that in any situation wherein you are in a prayerful, penitential, or meditative attitude, the forces about you will concentrate and grow brighter. The Creator being within you has no trouble hearing you for the Creator is the entire creation within everything, the substance of everything, omnipresent and therefore knowing everything. Thus, you cannot speak too softly for the Creator.

Yet there is more that you can do than simply praying for those affected in Japan. You may realize that you are one of millions who are sending Light to those in Japan, and you may consciously ask that your prayers join with those of your fellow human beings. This brings in the doubling effect so that more and more Light can be generated from the Creator by your intention. While you may feel that in the physical sense there is nothing you can do, in the metaphysical sense you are powerful in the situation to affect it for the better. Let your hearts be opened by the courage of the millions of people involved in this disaster. Do not be devastated by their suffering. Simply offer your love and your light and let your prayers move like incense to those who are affected, that the sacred may be all around them and that they may meet those challenges that they face bathed in the radiance of your prayers.

These energies move through many sub-densities and they go where they are needed. So, we would suggest, my friends, that you not attempt to direct your prayers, but merely offer them for the greater good. The important thing in prayer, and in all actions that may be considered magical, is that you focus so that your intentions are purified and intensified and so that any insincerity or feelings of low self-worth that may hinder the effectiveness of your prayers be eliminated completely. Perceive yourself as powerful in this situation and use that power to love.

Then Q’uo said there is more that we can do than praying for those affected in Japan, and we may realize that we are one of millions who are sending Light to those in Japan, and we may ask that our prayers join with those of our fellow human beings, so this brings in the doubling effect so that more Light can be generated from the Creator by our intention, and while we may feel in the physical sense there is nothing we can do,  but in the metaphysical sense we are powerful in the situation to affect it for the better, so let our hearts be opened by the courage of the millions of people involved in this disaster, and do not be devastated by their suffering, but offer our love and our light, and let our prayers move like incense to those who are affected, that the sacred may be all around them, and that they may meet those challenges that they face bathed in the radiance of our prayers. Q’uo continued by saying these energies move through many sub-densities, and they go where they are needed, so Q’uo suggested that we not attempt to direct our prayers, but offer them for the greater good because the important thing in prayer, and in all actions that may be considered magical, is that we focus so that our intentions are purified so that any insincerity or feelings of low self-worth that may hinder the effectiveness of our prayers be eliminated , and perceive ourself as powerful in this situation and use that power to love. On March 7, 2004, Q’uo spoke of what it means for us to become magical:

We would say to the one known as J that the preceding discussion may help in somewhat delineating the field of action for becoming a conscious, magical being. The essence of seeing the self as magical and experiencing the self as magical is that great step of believing that the self is magical. If one moves from that assumption, then one must take responsibility for each thought. Not simply each action, but each thought. For the magical personality is often defined, at least by this instrument, as one who is able to effect changes in consciousness by thought alone. This again requires a time of deconstruction to loosen the bonds of shallow attachments and reconstruction in attaching to far more sturdy sources of power, or conduits for power.

We would ask at this time if any of those present has a follow-up to this query. We are those of Q’uo.

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and are again with this instrument. We perceive that there is no follow-up to the initial query and so we would open this session of working to other questions. May we ask at this time if there is another query for us at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

R: I have a personal question, Q’uo. I have listened to a channeling this week about concerning myself and past lifetimes and the one item that came up which I really noticed was about me being part of so many channeling circles where I tend to be part of it to provide some sort of support, is the best as I can describe it, rather than actually being able to translate the thought-concepts into words. As I think about that service, my question for you is, can you comment on it, turn it into a spiritual principle I can use as I look at this dynamic in my life? Because I do want to be of service and also learn my lessons and, as usual, when I come to particular difficulty, I am not sure what the lesson is besides being patient and willing to continue. So, if you can offer me some thoughts or insights I would appreciate it.

We are those of Q’uo, and thank the one known as R for his query. Although it is a personal question, my brother, we are able to respond because the query has to do with universal energies rather than being that which would cause us to invoke the Law of Confusion.

For those who work with unseen energies in order to serve the Creator by collaborating with those energies to create material that may be of use to those seeking spiritually, the challenge is always how to ride the waves of energy that are coalescing and dispersing around a particular instant in time and a particular person who is acting as channel in order to maintain a stable environment for reception in translation of concepts. The entity who has worked to tune itself as a channel, that is, as an instrument for producing thoughts that may be helpful, has certain work that he or she may do in order to maximize stability and accuracy. Instruments may work to tune themselves to be sure that their energy bodies are open and functioning well for doing the work, and they are able to challenge the spirits who wish to speak through them in order to ascertain whether or not to accept contact.

Beyond these items, the work of a channel is prey to the vagaries of the movement of frequencies of vibration around the moment and around the self. That work is left to those who serve by stabilizing those energies for the channel. Their work is unseen and often unappreciated by the channels themselves, and yet it is vital to the reception of accurate material. Without such batteries the channels are prey to losing the channel or to having that channel transform itself into that of a different contact due to sudden changes in the flux of energies surrounding the moment and the channel. Consequently, my brother, we may say that those who serve as batteries are as important to the material that is produced as are the channels. This is not particularly helpful to those whose ego is involved and who wish some kind of public credit for their work, yet the work remains vital to the production of good channeling.

R’s question was: “As I think about that service, my question for you is, can you comment on it, turn it into a spiritual principle I can use as I look at this dynamic in my life? Because I do want to be of service and also learn my lessons and, as usual, when I come to particular difficulty, I am not sure what the lesson is besides being patient and willing to continue.” Q’uo began by saying for those of us who work with unseen energies in order to serve the Creator by collaborating with those energies to create material that may be of use to those of us seeking spiritually, the challenge is always how to ride the waves of energy that are coalescing and dispersing around an instant in time when we are acting as channel in order to maintain a stable environment for reception in translation of concepts, so if we have worked to tune our self as a channel for producing thoughts that may be helpful, we have work that we may do in order to maximize stability and accuracy, and as instruments we may work to tune our selves to be sure that our energy bodies are open and functioning well for doing the work, and we are able to challenge the spirits who wish to speak through us in order to determine whether or not to accept contact. Now Q’uo said beyond these items, the work as a channel is prey to the vagaries of the movement of frequencies of vibration around the moment and around the self, and that work is left to those of us who serve by stabilizing those energies for the channel, and our work is unseen and often unappreciated by the channels, and yet it is vital to the reception of accurate material since without such batteries the channels are prey to losing the channel or to having that channel transform itself into that of a different contact due to sudden changes in the flux of energies surrounding the moment and the channel, so Q’uo said that those of us who serve as batteries are as important to the material that is produced as are the channels, but this is not helpful to those whose ego is involved and who wish some kind of public credit for their work, yet our work remains vital to the production of good channeling. On March 9, 1989, Hatonn spoke of one way that we could serve as batteries for a channel:

May we ask that each in the circle realize that there is only one being, one consciousness, amongst all seekers. Each is unique, but each a part of the same movement, the same process, each of you companions on the road from the Creator to the Creator. We ask that you settle down, perhaps, a bit deeper in order to serve as batteries for this instrument. We ask that this tuning procedure be enhanced if necessary by visualizing a small globe in the midst of the circle, and it moving until all are within that globe, all within the light, all protected and united in their seeking.

We may say, my brother, that those who choose to do this work are often those who have a desire to work behind the scenes and specifically not to get credit on a public level. There are many reasons an entity may choose to serve in this way, chief among them generally being that there is a desire, looking at the balance of many incarnations, to discourage the ego-self or the personality shell, as this instrument would call it, and to encourage total unselfishness of giving service without expectation of return. We congratulate all of those who offer themselves in such service because they are as vital to the work that we do in collaboration with channels as the channels are themselves.

Further, we would thank all of those who sit in groups such as this one. It too, is sacrificial work in that there is no public acknowledgement of the part that they have played in the production of these words, yet every entity in the channeling circle is a part of the shape and the content of the channeling that occurs during that session of working. The hopes, the hungers, the desires of each person play into our choices of what material to bring forward and what to share, so we thank each, for each of you functions, to a greater or lesser extent, as a battery, smoothing out or evening the flux of energies around the receiving channel. Each of you is vital to and a necessary part of the channeling process, and when a session is placed, as this instrument would say, online, so that many may read it, it is easy for such readers to think that the channeling is done by the channel alone. Yet the instrument who produces the words is only part of the equation. Thanks are deserved by all of those who take part in the production of these sessions.

Q’uo continued by saying that those of us who choose to do this work often have a desire to work behind the scenes and not to get credit on a public level, and there are many reasons we may choose to serve in this way, chief among them being that we have a desire, looking at the balance of many incarnations, to discourage our personality shell, as Carla would call it, and to encourage giving service without expectation of return, so Q’uo congratulated all of us who offer our selves in such service because we are as vital to the work that we do in collaboration with channels as the channels are themselves. Q’uo went on to say they would thank all of those who sit in groups such as this one since it is sacrificial work in that there is no public acknowledgement of the part that we play in the production of these words, yet every one of us in the channeling circle is a part of the content of the channeling that occurs during a session of working, and it is the hopes and the desires of each person that plays into Q’uo’s choices of what material to bring forward, so they thanked us for functioning as a battery and  evening the flux of energies around the receiving channel, so each of us is a necessary part of the channeling process, and when a session is placed online, so that many may read it, it is easy for such readers to think that the channeling is done by the channel alone, but the instrument who produces the words is only part of the equation, so thanks are deserved by all of us who take part in the production of these sessions. On November 6, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the value of our seeking to give without expectation of return:

When the healing and loving efforts offered to another are not accepted, it is well, then, to leave the door open to such entities that they will know that they are welcome always to move through that door and to accept that which is offered. More than this is not possible to accomplish without the infringement upon the free will of another, for it is necessary for entities to seek in order to find. It is not usually possible to find for another that which it does not seek. Thus, to remain open in the heart, to remain open in the offering, and to continue to give that of love from your heart to the other’s heart without expectation of return is the most that can be done. This is difficult for many who seek to be of service, especially to those that are loved dearly, yet it is that which must be accepted, for the free will of each entity is of paramount importance. For any progress to be made, the steps must be taken by each entity for the self.

May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.

R: Thank you Q’uo. Thank you for illuminating the subject. I think that I am one of those who works with the ego part, and it is an inspiration to hear from contacts such as yours. I’ll just say thank you.

We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. May we ask if there is another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

Jim: [Reading from a question sent in by a seeker in Portugal.] A spiritual seeker desires to accelerate the process of polarization in order to reunite with the one infinite Creator. The question is: “Why do we have to hurry to go faster and faster? Why not take as many billions of years as is necessary to reach the One? After all, was it not already said that we have as much time as we might need? Is this a competition of who gets there first? Would you please comment on these thoughts?”

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. In point of fact, my brother, there is a natural pressure towards evolution built into the very fabric of the universe, which is Love. It is inevitable that you shall evolve. If you are satisfied with your present circumstances and have no desire to alter your perceptions or experience of the life that passes your senses, there is no reason whatsoever to work towards accelerating the pace of evolution of mind, body, and spirit. You do, indeed, have all of eternity in order to evolve. There are many who are not satisfied with their circumstances. We do not speak here of money, or power, or influence, or comfort, but rather that hunger and thirst for a better way, for the truth, for awareness of the self, of the Creator, of the true nature of experience. There are many who realize that they cannot trust all that they think, much less all that they are told. They seek to have a more direct avenue of communication with the sacred. Their hunger and their thirst are for those things which the world cannot give them, no matter how hard the world may try.

It is to those who wish to move closer to the truth and to live more self-realized lives that the techniques for acceleration of evolution are useful. We would not dream of suggesting to people that it is unsatisfactory for them to be as they are. Each entity is perfect as he or she is. Our information, however, is called upon by those who wish to seek the truth. It is the choice of all to seek or not to seek. We are paraphrasing one of your famous Shakespearean soliloquies: “To be or not to be.” For those who wish such information as we offer we are happy to share our humble thoughts. We have evolved ourselves through third density and beyond and we share our experiences and our history with you as we find it is called from us, elicited and evoked by your desires. If such things are useful to you, that is more than sufficient reason for our participation in offering information through instruments such as this one. If it is not helpful to you, then you have no obligation whatsoever to tend to us or any spiritual source. Follow your desires, my brother. You may trust your own consciousness and your own desires to offer you the catalyst that is useful to you for the moment at hand.

Question from a seeker in Portugal: “Why do we have to hurry to go faster and faster? Why not take as many billions of years as is necessary to reach the One? After all, was it not already said that we have as much time as we might need?” Q’uo began by saying there is a natural pressure towards evolution built into the fabric of the universe, which is Love, and it is inevitable that we shall evolve, so if we are satisfied with our present circumstances and have no desire to alter our experience of the life that passes our senses, there is no reason to work towards accelerating the pace of evolution of mind, body, and spirit because we do have all of eternity in order to evolve, but there are many who are not satisfied with their circumstances, and Q’uo was not speaking here of money, power, or comfort, but that hunger for the truth, for awareness of the Creator, and the true nature of experience, so there are many of us who realize that we cannot trust all that we think, much less all that we are told, so we seek to have a more direct avenue of communication with the sacred, and our hunger is for those things which the world cannot give us, no matter how hard the world may try.

On December 20, 1998, Q’uo spoke of how we may participate in the acceleration of our evolution:

We wish you Light and Love on that journey that each of you takes as each pursues the questions of identity and ambition. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my service? Whither do I go? These are the questions that stir life and aid in acceleration of evolution. Move ever deeper into questions of who you really are, what service you truly came to offer. Know that these potentials for transformation and evolution are real, and know that we do not find any consideration more interesting than the pursuit of self into the deeper mind and beyond the local personality shell with which you have equipped yourselves in order to experience this illusion. Know that you are redeemed, loved, cherished, and treasured by the Christ that was Jesus, by Christ consciousness wherever it is, and by us. Know that you are part of a great Self, and that as you pursue your selfhood you also pursue the selfhood of the creation and the Creator.

We are aware that this entity is not in the physical circle and so we will not ask for a follow-up question. We would at this time ask if there is a final query for this session of working. We are those of Q’uo.

L: Q’uo, I have a question. For a while now I’ve encountered what I call “thought bombs,” where a huge concept is downloaded into my head all at once—a lot like channeling but for no reason. A lot of it is very scientific stuff, things that I normally don’t think about at all, that I don’t really know what to do with, but things that could potentially be very useful—about molecules and things like that. Does this just happen at random? What would be a cause of this information coming through someone who doesn’t really have the mind to process it?

We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister, for your query. My sister, although these thoughts are not random, they are also not specifically directed at you. Let us work to illuminate that statement. You are not alone at all in having a very sensitive inner nature. There are many who have such natures. For the most part, they tend to keep them protected and defended, and this tends to limit that which comes through them, yet they cannot stop the flow of information because they are doing the equivalent of listening in on party lines. There is no intention behind that, it is simply that the self that is embodied in an incarnation has the capacity to hear and thoughts are moving across the field of vision at all times if one may say such a thing without mixing metaphors.

The one known as Willie once said that he never had to make up a melody because he simply took one out of the air. This entity was sensitive to the language of music. The one known as L is sensitive to the language of words. My sister, there is no responsibility that is inherent in being able to hear what people are saying, whether those people be discarnate entities or entities in a physical body. If such an entity were to speak to you in the physical sense, you would be saying, “Why are you telling me this? I don’t really understand what you’re saying. Should I ask questions, or what?” It is difficult to have that conversation with a disembodied voice. We enjoy your word for those concepts that are very pregnant with meaning as “thought bombs,” and our sympathy is with you and all of those who are inadvertently exposed to voices they have not requested who are offering information that is either toxic or incomprehensible. We shall say that if one of these overheard conversations interests you, then you are capable, my sister, of tuning and challenging entities so that you may pursue the conversation. Yet we would suggest, as always, that you work only within a group so that, as we were discussing earlier, the flux of energy surrounding you does not cause you difficulties.

L’s question was: “For a while now I’ve encountered what I call “thought bombs,” where a huge concept is downloaded into my head all at once—a lot like channeling but for no reason. A lot of it is very scientific stuff, things that I normally don’t think about at all, that I don’t really know what to do with, but things that could potentially be very useful—about molecules and things like that.

Now Q’uo said that Willie [Nelson] once said that he never had to make up a melody because he took one out of the air since he was sensitive to the language of music, and L is sensitive to the language of words, so there is no responsibility that comes with being able to hear what people are saying, whether those people be discarnate entities or entities in a physical body, so if such an entity were to speak to you in the physical sense, you would be saying: “Why are you telling me this? I don’t really understand what you’re saying. Should I ask questions, or what?” Q’uo said it is difficult to have that conversation with a disembodied voice, and we enjoy your word for those concepts that are very pregnant with meaning as “thought bombs,” and our sympathy is with you and all of those who are inadvertently exposed to voices they have not requested who are offering information that is either toxic or incomprehensible, so we shall say that if one of these overheard conversations interests you, then you are capable of tuning and challenging entities so that you may pursue the conversation, yet we would suggest, as always, that you work only within a group so that the flux of energy surrounding you does not cause you difficulties. On August 11, 1985, L/Leema discussed the reason that tuning and challenging is necessary:

Thus, it is often the case that groups or instruments will be unaware of the necessity of tuning and challenging, and will then receive a temptation from the negative entity or entities to focus on information that is of a more transient nature, such as the date and nature of various disasters and information of a specific nature regarding inventions, discoveries, means of making great wealth available that the group might be glorified above the message that it has previously been privileged to offer to others. Thus, contact is often lost and continuous channeling of one entity by a number of groups is therefore not a frequent phenomenon.

May we answer you further, my sister? We are those of Q’uo.

L: I was wondering if this particular way of information coming through has a specific source and if there is one, is it specifically being directed at anyone, or is it just kind of out there, like everything that anyone could be thinking?

We are those of Q’uo. My sister, these thoughts and all thoughts are projected from sources that are specific and individualized, yet they are not directed towards anyone, but rather exist because of the interest of many through a substantial period of what you call time so that there are energies that are essential to that particular concern that collect. The projection of this information is sometimes the result of many entities seeking, calling forth a stream of information on this particular subject, and these streams are all about one at all times.

(Carla channeling)

It is part of the unseen environment that surrounds you. We may say, indeed, it is similar to the population of microscopic entities that is all about you. It is an eye-opening experience to look through one of your microscopes and see the many living creatures that exist on skin, in water, on every surface, and for so many, many interrelated reasons you can see that the inside population is not personal to you. It is general to all. The microscopic life is not drawn to you because of your personality. It is drawn to you because of its function as one who cleans up this or that from your body or in some way interacts with the body for its help. These streams of melody, words, inspiration, and love are part of the positive unseen environment in which you live. There are also toxic voices, toxic music, toxic words, and so forth, that are part of that environment. It is an unknown environment to most people in the physical body on Planet Earth. It becomes all too familiar to those who are very sensitive.

May we respond to your query further, my sister? We are those of Q’uo.

L:No, thank you, Q’uo. That was an excellent explanation. It makes me feel a lot better.

We are those of Q’uo, and my sister, we are very glad to be able to offer you the comfort of our thoughts. At this time, we would leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to share this meditation with you, and we thank you so much for taking the time to seek the truth and to ask us to join you. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I went outside and weeded the Morning Glories in the center of the cross in the back yard, and then I also weeded the Ruins Mound between my home and the garage. Then I transplanted three small Lilac bushes that I accidentally pulled out of the ground three weeks ago when I was weeding the Lilac bushes beside the Moss Garden. I have had them in a bucket of water for the last three months to get more growth in their roots and a better chance of living and thriving. Then I went across the street to my neighbor’s yard and trimmed away the limbs from Honeysuckle bushes that were blown down by winds and which make it difficult to get into her back yard. I put the limbs into garbage cans which I will put out on the street this Thursday for yard waste pickup.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at Anderson’s Sales and Service to have my trimmer head put back together after it came apart on me yesterday. My second stop was at the Middletown Animal Clinic to give a geode to Laura and one to Chelsea as a symbol of my appreciation for their coming over to see my yard, gardens, and house plants last Saturday and for all that they have done for all of my kitty cats, most recently Bosco. Then I stopped in at Walmart to buy a ream of printer paper. My next stop was at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird seed and fish food. My last stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 9

Suffering In The Desert

I am the spirit of the living Christ, the principle of the full consciousness of Love.

Overnight there has been rain! And where before the earth was parched, now it thirsts no longer.

In the wake of the rain there spring up countless flowers, the fruit of the blessing of water. In human drought the suffering of the desert may be extreme and the thirst unbearable. In these circumstances it is the true pilgrim soul who sits down upon the dusty trail, knowing that there is no water, and who waits patiently for that daily bread which is the rainfall of the Spirit of Christ.

If the time in the desert has been taken hard then the fruit, when rain does come, will be bitter. Take care that in your desert you may remain sweet, serving in consciousness the flowers of Love and beauty so that when the rain does come there are no tares amidst the sweet flowers of your patient joy.

We leave you in peace, both 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

2025-06-08

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 5, 2011:

Jim: It seems that our purpose here is to assist in the birthing of fourth density. Now that it seems to be done, what will our purpose here be in a dying, third-density Earth, apart from the younger people cleaning up and healing the planet? What are we to get excited about from now until the end of our incarnation is here? What should we focus on during the remainder of third density?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. We feel very privileged to have been called to your session of working, and it is a pleasure to speak with you concerning the object of focus for those serving on Planet Earth at this time.

But first, as always, my friends, we would ask that you listen to what we have to say with careful discernment and discrimination. Please do not simply take what we have to say as a whole but wait for that resonance about which the one known as W was speaking, that resonance that tells you that a thought is for you, for right now, and for this time ahead. If a thought does not seem alive and resonant to you, then simply pass it by. If you will do this for us, we will be able to rest our hearts in the knowledge that we cannot infringe upon your free will or disturb your spiritual journey. Thank you for this favor.

When looking at the question of what to do between now and when you leave this incarnation, we would expand the views that you offered, my brother, at the beginning query, for we do not by any means feel that the work of those we serve upon Planet Earth at this time is done simply because the planet itself has won through to being born into fourth density. It is indeed so that, in terms of birthing fourth-density Planet Earth, the work is complete. It, however, is emphatically not the case that the work of those on Planet Earth is similarly at a conclusion. There is a natural rhythm to each incarnation that you experience or that others experience. No part of an incarnation is dead time. And for those wanderers who came here to help with the harvest, as you feel you did, my brother, the work is most emphatically unfinished, for the fields are white with harvest  and you are the workers who have come to help.

You have to recall that those few who have worked to graduate in the polarity of service to self are also in their last incarnation before graduation. They are working, some consciously and some unconsciously, to create a climate of fear and to expand suffering. Consequently, the harvest, just like the harvest that is cut, is difficult to pick. It cuts and lacerates the fingers that pluck from the bole. It is not necessarily a pleasant thing to observe and witness those about you as they spin out their lives and you spin out yours. There is much chaos. There is a harvest, shall we say, of anxiety and concern. The times, shall we say, are unsettled and it is easy to feel apprehensive for you know not what is to come, yet now is the time when those energies of love, power and peace are needed most of all.

The group question was: “It seems that our purpose here is to assist in the birthing of fourth density. Now that it seems to be done, what will our purpose here be in a dying, third-density Earth, apart from the younger people cleaning up and healing the planet? What are we to get excited about from now until the end of our incarnation is here? What should we focus on during the remainder of third density?” Q’uo began by saying when looking at the question of what to do between now and when we leave this incarnation, they would expand the views of the beginning query, for we do not feel that the work of those we serve upon Earth at this time is done because the planet has won through to being born into fourth density, and it is so that, in terms of birthing fourth-density Earth, the work is complete, but it is not the case that the work of those of us on Earth is at a conclusion, so there is a natural rhythm to each incarnation that we experience since no part of an incarnation is dead time, and for those wanderers who came here to help with the harvest the work is unfinished, for the fields are white with harvest, and we are the workers who have come to help. Then Q’uo said we have to recall that those few who have worked to graduate in the polarity of service to self are also in their last incarnation before graduation, and they are working, some consciously and some unconsciously, to create a climate of fear and to expand suffering, so the harvest is difficult to pick, and it cuts the fingers that pluck from the protective capsule, and it is not a pleasant thing to witness those about us as they spin out their lives, and we spin out ours, so there is much chaos, and there is a harvest of anxiety, so the times are unsettled, and it is easy to feel apprehensive for we know not what is to come, yet now is the time when those energies of Love, power, and peace are needed most of all. On February 17, 2018, Q’uo spoke of the energies of Love that are necessary at the time of harvest:

Oftentimes there is a combination of energy centers which are being worked upon to achieve an overall balance in the soul’s identity, shall we say. If, for example, the yellow-ray energy center is bright, and the green-ray energy center is somewhat dimmer, yet active, this would suggest that this particular soul or seeker is working to move from the third ray of group consciousness (that is that which denotes the third-density experience) into the fourth density that expands the definition or experience of the group energy into universal energies of Love that is unconditional and all encompassing.

When there is a storm at sea a lighthouse is needed, for one cannot see in the storm the rocks that are hidden beneath the waters. Each of you is as the lamp on the hill. You may feel that you have very little candle power, yet light is penetrating. You can even see a candle a half mile away and you, my friends, are far more than a candle. The infinite Love and the Light of the one Creator flows through your body and as you bless its infinite energy you send it out into the world, and that Light says to those about you, “There is Love; there is safety; there is intimacy; there is that peace that passeth understanding.”

A world hungering sees Light such as yours and they are fed, for that which is coming through you is infinite, it cannot be exhausted. You have the responsibility of being a human being at this time of shift. You carry infinity within you. Each time that you pray you move into infinite Light. Each time that you meditate you rest in unconditional Love, tabernacling with the infinite One. It is not human strength that lights the flame that you offer the world but the Creator Itself. You are simply a channel through which that Light may flow. And when your energy body is open, and your heart is open, that light bursts upon the world in great beauty.

Q’uo continued by saying when there is a storm at sea a lighthouse is needed, for we cannot see in the storm the rocks that are hidden beneath the waters, so each of us is as the lamp on the hill, and we may feel that we have very little candle power, yet light is penetrating, so we can see a candle a half mile away, and we are more than a candle because the infinite Love and the Light of the one Creator flows through our body, and as we bless its infinite energy we send it out into the world, and that Light says to those about us, “There is Love; there is safety; there is intimacy; there is that peace that passeth understanding.” Q’uo continued by saying a world hungering sees Light such as ours and they are fed, for that which is coming through us is infinite, and it cannot be exhausted, so we have the responsibility of being a human being at this time of shift, and we carry infinity within us, and each time that we pray we move into infinite Light, and each time that we meditate we rest in unconditional Love, tabernacling with the infinite One, but it is not human strength that lights the flame that we offer the world but the Creator Itself, and we are a channel through which that Light may flow, so when our energy body is open, and our heart is open, that Light bursts upon the world in great beauty. On May 5, 2002, Q’uo spoke of how we can be a source of Light that shines upon the world:

Each of you is an unique crystal, then, which can allow the Light to flow into the Earth plane in just such and such a way that is unique to you. And when your heart is open and the Light is flowing through you, and you feel transparent to that energy, then it is that the most beautiful Light of all colors, depending upon the personalities involved, is able to move into that grid that this instrument has sometimes called the Christ grid, and which others have called the grid of unconditional Love or the Buddha. This grid is that web of Light, that pattern of Love, that is beginning to stabilize fourth density upon your planetary sphere. Each of you is doing tremendous work for those who shall come after you, sowing seeds of Light and seeds of Love whose blossoms you shall not see, for you shall move on. Yet those who come after you will be able to do as they do because of reaping the harvest that you now sow with each loving thought and each contact made in Love and in Light.

You ask, my brother, “About what can I be excited? Upon what should I focus between now and when I enter larger life?” We would remind you of the story of the Hundredth Monkey. This is a true story which concerns apes upon two islands that learned a different way to eat bananas. The scientists studying the apes on these two islands noticed that at one point the knowledge of an improved way of eating bananas had moved from one island to the other and somehow, because everybody on one island was aware of how to eat bananas, this information traveled so that the apes on the other island began doing the same.

Your hope before you came to this place of service and learning was that you might be able to lighten the consciousness of Planet Earth. You did not know before you were in the physical body precisely what shape that service would take. And you have spent your lifetime up until this point sorting out, “What belongs in service in my life? What belongs in learning? What lessons do I carry on an incarnational level that I would like to focus on before I run out of days, and light, and breath in the physical body?” The answer is different for everyone, but it is very likely that you had hopes of making the kind of difference that the apes made on the first island when they learned how to eat a banana a better way.

Q’uo went on to say you ask, “About what can I be excited? Upon what should I focus between now and when I enter larger life? ”And  Q’uo reminded us of the story of the Hundredth Monkey which is a true story which concerns apes upon two islands that learned a different way to eat bananas, so the scientists studying the apes on these two islands noticed that at one point the knowledge of an improved way of eating bananas had moved from one island to the other and somehow, because everybody on one island was aware of how to eat bananas, this information traveled so that the apes on the other island began doing the same. Then Q’uo said our hope before we came to this place of service and learning was that we might be able to lighten the consciousness of Earth, but we did not know before we were in our body what shape that service would take, and we have spent our lifetime up until this point sorting out: “What belongs in service in my life? What belongs in learning? What lessons do I carry on an incarnational level that I would like to focus on before I run out of days, and light, and breath in the physical body?” The answer is different for everyone, but it is very likely that we had hopes of making the kind of difference that the apes made on the first island when they learned how to eat a banana a better way. On March 21, 2003, Q’uo described how the Hundredth Monkey Effect is working on planet Earth at this time:

There is, inherent in the attempt of Wanderers to, shall we say, infect the Earth with heightened awareness of Love, that dependency upon what this instrument would call the One Hundredth Monkey Effect, the hope being that eventually more and more entities are forming lighthouses, light groups, study groups, meditation groups, groups of all shades of devotion and way of expressing devotion to the infinite Creator, yet groups that harmonize in wishing Light and Love to planet Earth and its people. These goals are moving along with speed, and we see many more places of Light coming to be where entities may come into small groups and form spiritually oriented friendships, fellowships, and families. These possibilities for increased Light at this time are great blessings, and we encourage those opportunities that come one’s way for these are opportunities to add one’s Light to the Light of many others. And these opportunities are occurring with greater and greater frequency for those of your people who have awakened.

Perhaps you have seen the film Pay It Forward. One teenager got the idea of serving others and this teenager in the film infected a whole town with that energy. It may seem to be entertainment and fiction, yet each year when the birth of Jesus is remembered, people all over the globe participating in the spirit of Christmas open their hearts, take notice of their neighbors and reach out to be of service. That is not fiction nor is it fiction to recall each time there is a natural disaster such as Hurricane Katrina or the earthquake that hit Haiti recently. In those cases people opened their hearts and found that they truly cared for strangers, realizing that there is no such thing as a stranger in the tribe of humankind.

This is perhaps a central theme about which to be excited, my brother. The opportunity is there in every day of the remainder of your incarnation. Pay it forward to serve others with such style, affection, humor, and elan vital that you infect others with the desire to share that Light and that Love, so that they begin radiating, they begin serving, and they infect others in turn. Visualize the Love and the Light of the infinite One becoming pandemic in this newer Planet Earth so that, instead of a poor harvest or a small harvest, you are able to affect a large part of the population of Planet Earth.

Now Q’uo said that perhaps we have seen the film Pay It Forward where a teenager got the idea of serving others, and this teenager infected a whole town with that energy, so it may seem to be entertainment and fiction, yet each year when the birth of Jesus is remembered, people all over the globe participating in the spirit of Christmas open their hearts, take notice of their neighbors and reach out to be of service, and that is not fiction, nor is it fiction to recall each time there is a natural disaster such as Hurricane Katrina or the earthquake that hit Haiti recently because in those cases people opened their hearts and found that they truly cared for strangers, realizing that there is no such thing as a stranger in the tribe of humankind. Q’uo went on to say this is a central theme about which to be excited since the opportunity is there in every day of the remainder of our incarnation to pay it forward and serve others with such affection and humor that we infect others with the desire to share that Light and that Love, so that they begin radiating, serving, and infecting others in turn, so visualize the Love and the Light of the infinite One becoming pandemic in this newer Earth so that, instead of a poor harvest or a small harvest, we are able to affect a large part of the population of Earth. On January 23, 2010, Q’uo described how we can use the Love and the Light of the infinite One in our lives:

Occasionally, there is an outside entity that wishes to distract you from the path that you have chosen to follow, for a being of light, a light-worker, that is distracted from the Light work and coaxed into sitting by the side of the road in heavy gloom has successfully been taken away from that worker’s reason for being here. So, when you feel distracted, when you feel discouraged, allow those feelings to wash through you as you allow the Love and the Light of the infinite One to fill you.

That which happens to you, be it the normal difficulties of everyday or that which might be called psychic greeting, all responds to the same thing: your loving attention. So let your Light shine forth. And when it is challenged, take the time to honor and respect that which the challenge is, and then let it be and, let it go so that you may be about the business that you came to be about.

It is usually in times of difficulty and challenge that people become ready to wake up to a different way of thinking. The shock of the chaos that you have been experiencing in your business and economic world has been a wakeup call for many and the inconveniences, my brother, continue. People who have been sleeping are now vulnerable to a new way of thinking, a new paradigm. The old one clearly does not work. And you can, with every fiber of your being, enter into the moments of your life in such a way as to share the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. What you share, my brother, you need first to experience and so part of that which we would encourage you to focus upon is silence.

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.

Q’uo said it is usually in times of difficulty that people become ready to wake up to a different way of thinking, and the shock of the chaos that we have been experiencing in our business and economic world has been a wakeup call for many, and the inconveniences continue, so people who have been sleeping are now vulnerable to a new way of thinking since the old one does not work, and we can enter into the moments of our life in such a way as to share the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator, so what we share we need first to experience, and we need to focus upon silence. Q’uo continued by saying that silence seems to be an absence of sound, yet silence is the medium necessary for information to flow from the energies and essences of spirit into our waking consciousness, and it is powerful, but Q’uo did not encourage a sudden immersion in silence but rather putting our toe in the water for five minutes here and five minutes there, and they would encourage us to do this frequently so that we keep moving back to the silence that offers us our most powerful awareness of the infinite Creator, so it is necessary to avail our self of the Creator’s vibration, which we may do at any time that we fall into the silence with the intention of seeking the one Creator, and that which comes to us in that state of silence may not be anything of which we are aware consciously, but we may trust that we are receiving information that will transform us, so each of us, by our essence and our characteristic vibration, has that capacity to encourage the awakening of others. On August 5, 2006, Q’uo described the sacred nature of our going into the silence:

The simplest way to become more able to work with inter-dimensional communication is to practice silence. We find that we are repeating, yet it always bears repeating. Go ever deeper into that silence but without any expectation. Follow your heart. Follow your practice. Experiment when you sense that something is not quite alive within you. Kick the energy when you feel it has stopped. But, in general, enter that silence knowing how sacred that quality and faculty is and how infinitely much it contains for you.

We would also suggest that from day-to-day you retain a consideration as to what the very center of your seeking is, so that you may ask and form an intention as you move into the silence, not because you expect to hear a voice telling you what to do, but because silence is a place wherein the Creator is communicating with you, and you with the Creator.

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. Your physicists have begun telling you this with such disciplines as the string theory.  Therefore, do your best to be good stewards of this planet and help those who have come here to do that. But remember that your main job is to be a channel for the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator. Rest in the effulgence of that Love and ask for the fire of Love to be kindled in your hearts from Spirit that you may with the utmost passion and intensity do your best with this incarnation of service, of learning.

Q’uo said until the moment when our body stops breathing and we move into larger life, we have the opportunity and the ability of serving the infinite Creator powerfully and meaningfully, and as we craft our life with an ethical eye for polarity, we are not only working upon our self, we are changing the world, but we can’t see it or prove it, but one logical inference from the statement, “All is One,” is that all things that are apparently separate are actually connected, and our physicists have begun telling us this with such disciplines as the string theory, so we must do our best to be good stewards of this planet, and help those who have come here to do that, but remember that our main job is to be a channel for the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator, and rest in the fullness of that Love and ask for the fire of Love to be kindled in our hearts from Spirit that we may, with the utmost passion, do our best with this incarnation of service and learning. On July 12, 1981, Q’uo spoke of how the fire of Love could be found in our hearts:

As you find the blockages in your minds and in your hearts, turn within to the original Thought, for it, my friends, is simple, unlike your paradoxical illusion with its great ideas of success and its poor ideas of failure. There is a comfort in knowing that you cannot run out of spiritual food. You cannot be hungry; you cannot be thirsty; for you have only to turn within. To you can be opened the secrets of your birthright: the fire of Love, its joy, and its power and the radiance of the whole creation as it echoes the praises of the one unity which is all of us, my friends.

Let your hearts be soothed, and when you hear the thoughts of others or the thoughts of yourself regarding the success or failure of an enterprise, of a relationship, of your own behavior, seek the comfort of the original Thought. There is work for you to do. The world may think it poor. That is nothing. It is what you feel in your heart that is all-important, for the heart is informed in meditation of many, many things far too mysterious for words, and the attempt to speak them can be but a paltry one.

My brother, we are aware that you cannot follow up on this query as you are not physically present and so we will allow this question to rest as it is. If you have a further query, we would welcome it.

May we ask the one known as Jim if there is another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.

Jim: [Inaudible. Jim said that W had the paper that G left with the questions from the L/L readership.]

We are those of Q’uo, and would ask if there is another query at this time?

W: [Reading from G’s notes.] S in Japan asks, “Q’uo, I am really nervous about vaccinating my newborn child. There are two schools of thought on the issue: one that says that vaccination is not only safe but necessary; the other which feels that vaccinations are extremely harmful. I find I can’t trust 100% what either side says, and there is evidence for and against both positions. How can a parent make a decision on taking or not taking an action that, once taken, is irreversible and may lead to cognitive and/or health defects, but if not taken may result in the death or disability of a child due to disease, not to mention loss of a child through prosecution and over-zealous child-welfare legislation. What are the spiritual principles involved?”

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query. In working with questions such as whether or not to vaccinate a child that is within your care, the spiritual principle involved is free will. Because the child is not capable of coming to a reasoned decision concerning such issues, as in so many things for a parent, it falls upon the parent to make such decisions for the young one. We look in this instrument’s mind and see that this instrument has been selective in her choice of vaccinations. She has had experience with live vaccine that indicate that she is prone to having adverse reactions to such, whereas with a non-live vaccine or a dead vaccine, the possibility of receiving an adverse reaction is minimized.

However, this does not speak to your free will. It is well to be logical and do the research involved. It is well indeed to be informed in every way. And yet, as you say, in human affairs there is often no possibility of certainty. While there is no spiritual principle involved in the giving of vaccines, that being in the province of the body complex, it is important that you feel that you are doing the appropriate thing for the child. Consequently, you must take this into your heart after you have learned all the facts that you can. Ponder the resonance of offering the child this healing modality, and we would suggest that for each type of vaccine you move through this process of consulting your rational and linear mind, your intellect, and consulting the wisdom of your heart. For often the heart knows things that it cannot say.

S asked: “How can a parent make a decision on taking or not taking an action that, once taken, is irreversible and may lead to cognitive and/or health defects, but if not taken may result in the death or disability of a child due to disease, not to mention loss of a child through prosecution and over-zealous child-welfare legislation. What are the spiritual principles involved?” Q’uo began by saying in working with questions such as whether or not to vaccinate a child that is within our care, the spiritual principle involved is free will because the child is not capable of coming to a reasoned decision concerning such issues, as in so many things for a parent, it falls upon the parent to make such decisions for the young one, and Q’uo looked in Carla’s mind to see that she has been careful in her choice of vaccinations since she has had experience with live vaccine that indicates she is prone to having adverse reactions to them, whereas with a non-live vaccine or a dead vaccine, the possibility of receiving an adverse reaction is minimized. Q’uo went on to say that this does not speak to our free will, so it is well to be logical and do the research involved to be informed in every way, yet in human affairs there is often no possibility of certainty, and while there is no spiritual principle involved in the giving of vaccines, that being in the province of our body complex, it is important that we feel that we are doing the appropriate thing for the child, so we must take this into our heart after we have learned all the facts that we can, and ponder the resonance of offering the child this healing modality, so Q’uo suggested that for each type of vaccine we move through this process of consulting our rational mind and the wisdom of our heart, for often our heart knows things that it cannot say. On February 6, 2000, Q’uo said that our heart knows many things:

We cannot choose for any, for this is the honor and duty of each: to make those choices that carry the metaphysical weight, shall we say, in the life pattern. We say to each that each within the heart knows the next step, the next, and the next. The daily round of activities within your current illusion is such that the frantic pace of existence often causes a blurring of the vision to the heart. Many do not seek the wisdom of the heart because of the commitment to the daily round of activities. We would ask each to look therein on a regular basis that one may develop a clear communication, with the heart, the intuition, the portion of the self that still moves in unity with all.

We do not encourage blind movements with no intellectual content, but rather a balanced approach, for you maintain the freedom of your will until you have learned all you can. And then you have pursued your own deepest feelings. We are not saying move with surface emotions or move impulsively, but there is the need to do the best that you can for your child and so it is worth it to move through this process of discernment, using all of the equipment that you have—all of your resources: your intellect, your insight, favoring neither and finding consensus. It can be said that some things simply are not spiritual, and yet all that there is is composed of Love, so how can anything not be spiritual? Spirit exists in all things—in the vaccine, in your child, in the rocks and the sky. And out of all of these gifts of spirit come responsibilities and duties that are an honor to have. And yet it cannot be said that there is no work involved in raising a child. So, offer this matter and all matters the best of yourself. Be generous. Take the time so that the decision that you come to will be that with which you can live from now on. We thank you for this query.

Now Q’uo said they do not encourage blind movements with no intellectual content, but rather a balanced approach, for we maintain the freedom of our will until we have learned all we can, and then we have pursued our deepest feelings, but they are not saying move with surface emotions or move impulsively, but there is the need to do the best that we can for our child, and so it is worth it to move through this process of discernment using all of our resources: our intellect, our insight, favoring neither and finding consensus, so it can be said that some things are not spiritual, and yet all that there is is composed of Love, so the spirit exists in all things: in the vaccine, in our child, in the rocks and the sky, and out of all of these gifts of spirit come responsibilities that are an honor to have, so it cannot be said that there is no work involved in raising a child, so offer this matter and all matters the best of our self, and be generous and take the time so that the decision that we come to will be that with which we can live from now on. On March 11, 1989, Q’uo spoke of the value of the process of discernment:

And when you are participating in your story, you are the hero and the heroine, the villain and all the bit parts. You are the audience, and you choose when to ring the curtains up and down. And in any story, in any fiction, in any narrative, the first requirement of the reader and the observer of that narrative is that that observer suspend willingly, out of free will, the faculty of discrimination or disbelief.

Note that it is suspended, while the action is taking place. It is not suggested that after the story is finished there be no afterthought, no process of discernment, no attempt to come to many various terms with all of those things which have happened within the story. “The willing suspension of disbelief” is a phrase taken from literary criticism, however, it is an equally important staple of the diet of heavenly food which nourishes, and strengthens, and enables the seeking soul to learn and grow.

We are those of Q’uo and would ask if there is another query at this time?

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and, since we are unaware of any further questions from this circle of seeking, shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. It has been a pleasure to be with you. We thank you for your beauty and your courage. Adonai. Adonai vasu.

This morning I went outside and pumped three quarters of the water out of the fishpond, so that I could add more water to clarify the murky water due to green algae still growing on some portions of the liner. As the water was pumping out, I spread four 40 lb. bags of Western Cedar Mulch around the east, south, and west sides of the Vanilla/Strawberry Hydrangeas. As the fishpond was refilling with fresh water, I transplanted ten Dahlias in the area of the Sun Mandala behind the garage where some Dahlias are not doing well. Then I unrolled enough netting to cover three-fourths of the Flower Garden in the middle of the Moss Garden in the back yard.

This afternoon I went back outside and unrolled enough netting to cover the rest of the Flower Garden in the center of the Moss Garden. Then I used my limb loppers to prune the dead limbs from the small Pawpaw Tree in the side yard and the dead limbs from the Red Bud Tree in the back yard.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

The Spirit Shakes The Pilgrim

I am the sacred principle of divine Love, the Spirit of the living Christ. I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ.

This entity seeks purely, and asks that the Spirit of Love offer to her a jewel of a thought, a crystallized concept that may enlarge her perception of the day ahead.

Yet we would rather not be the purveyor of perfect jewels which may be toyed with by the mind, fingered with those hands of thought which may soil, and defile, and then be put away, beautiful, crystalline, and ungiving.

Nay. The Spirit of divine Love is a Spirit which, neatly or less neatly, seizes some portion of the mind and heart of the pilgrim and shakes it hard enough to rearrange the perceptions that have perhaps been too crystallized, too complacent, and too smug, so that the universe opens up and becomes that creation of the Father which is ever being recreated, newly created, and beginning the process of creation.

For the Father’s hand becomes our hand, which becomes your hand, which moves then into the world in peace yet in power, power not only to alter but to reconstruct in a more Godly manner the elements of thought which lead to a world view and action taken because of the world view.

You look toward an horizon of which you yet know not. Listen, for the voice of the transforming Spirit of Love lies in every expected and unexpected place. As the horizon moves through your day, the untidy, exciting, and disturbing Spirit sheds its peace everywhere. He who has ears, let him hear.

We leave 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

2025-06-07

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 19, 2011:

Jim: The question this evening has to do with the topic of ascension. Most of us think of ascension in terms of what will happen to us after we die. We know that we drop the physical body and retain our spiritual or soul body. We walk the steps of light and continue forth into a new experience in that way. We would like some information tonight on the type of ascension that, say, Jesus did, or certain masters of all religions have done. I think Ra spoke of the 150 souls who were graduated after the second cycle. They could either go on to fourth density, if they wished, or stay, as they all chose to do, because they wished to see all of their brothers and sisters, shall we say, ascend or graduate with them. So, we would like to know something about this type of ascension in which certain masters of all cultures throughout the ages have participated.

(Carla channeling)

We are the principle known to you as those of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this evening. As we gaze around this circle of seeking, we feel the great privilege of being asked to join you. Each of you has carved out a piece of your day to give to the seeking of truth. It is our honor to be included in that search, and we are glad to share our humble opinions with you on the subject of ascension while in the body, that is, the physical body of third density.

But first, as always, we would ask that you listen to or read our thoughts with discrimination and your best discernment. Listen for what appeals to you, for what makes you want to seek further. If something is not alive for you in what we say, please leave it behind. In that way, we can be fairly sure that we shall not disturb your spiritual seeking or infringe upon your free will, and that is important to us. Thank you for this consideration.

In this instrument’s mind, we find the word “ascension” to have connotations of confusion and chaos. This, my friends, is because as long as spiritual texts have been offered to the people of your planet, the subject of ascension has been one that is held in heavy dispute. Depending upon the way one’s culture works, ascension may or may not be a part of the tenets of the religion of the culture. It may or may not be the way that particular religious or philosophical system describes spiritual advancement. Therefore, there is a certain amount of emotion that clusters around this concept and tends to create a situation in which it is difficult to speak about the subject without exciting emotion. Our desire, as you know, is to consider such subjects in a way that allows the seeker to see into the structure of the query, to gather information about that query, and to lay out before the seeker resources that may possibly aid in thinking about the query. We would like to attempt to speak about ascension in that way.

We would start with the Christian concept of ascension. The act of leaving the third density while in one’s body and going elsewhere is called ascension because in the Old Testament and the New Testament, those of seemingly greatly advanced wisdom or love were able to be taken from the Earth. We note Elijah and his whirlwind and Jesus and his cross. Therefore, it is considered that they ascended in their bodies. From our point of view, we would say that ascension in general means to the population of those not Christian, perhaps not on a particular religious path at all, the event tied in with the date of the Winter Solstice of 2012, or whenever a particular seeker considers that third density is over and the next density or Age of man has begun.

The group question for this session was: “So, we would like to know something about this type of ascension in which certain masters of all cultures throughout the ages have participated.” Q’uo began by saying in Carla’s mind, they find the word “ascension” to have connotations of confusion and chaos, and is because as long as spiritual texts have been offered to the people of our planet, the subject of ascension has been one that is held in dispute, and depending upon the way our culture works, ascension may or may not be a part of the tenets of the religion of the culture, and it may or may not be the way that particular religious or philosophical systems describes spiritual advancement, so there is a certain amount of emotion that clusters around this concept and tends to create a situation in which it is difficult to speak about without exciting emotion, and Q’uo’s desire is to consider such subjects in a way that allows us to see into the structure of the query, to gather information about that query, and to lay out before the seeker resources that may possibly aid in thinking about the query, so Q’uo would like to attempt to speak about ascension in that way, so Q’uo went on to say they would start with the Christian concept of ascension, so the act of leaving the third density while in our body and going elsewhere is called ascension because in the Old Testament and the New Testament, those of advanced wisdom or Love were able to be taken from the Earth such as Elijah and His whirlwind and Jesus and His cross, and they ascended in their bodies, so from Q’uo’s point of view, they would say that ascension means the event tied in with the date of the Winter Solstice of 2012, or whenever third density is over, and the next density or Age of man has begun. On April 1, 2006, Q’uo described the process of ascension:

We have observed that the dogma-driven thinking of your religions, especially the one known as Christianity, has skewed the thinking about the ascension process and has created of it not a joyful celebratory event, but a fear-driven, doom-filled event. It is not the intention of the Creator that the process of ascension be narrowed down to an event of any kind. However, were a very narrow view to be taken of ascension so that one could see it as an event, it would be an event that was as full of positive emotions as one’s birthday, one’s wedding day, or any other celebration or party to which one looked forward greatly. The whole concept of ascension as a terrifying moment when the world ends and suddenly you are standing before a righteous judge, is far from the Creator’s mind, as far as we understand the Creator’s mind, and we note here that our understanding is faulty. We offer only our humble opinion at all times.

Now, what virtue is there in considering how to ascend while in the body? My friends, in terms of activity within the body, we do not find that this is a helpful concept for all people. The reason that we say this is that each of you won his or her way into the earth plane at the time of the harvest. Many there are who wished to have incarnations upon Planet Earth at this time, either to help raise the consciousness of Planet Earth with their love, or to do the work of third density in achieving a satisfactory balance between love and wisdom, love and power, or wisdom and power. Consequently, having won your way into the physical, we find there is wisdom in choosing to stay with the incarnation until you have learned all you can and served all you are able and are truly ready to let go of third density and all of its gifts and challenges.

However, the one known as Y noted that the kind of ascension that she has seen discussed in the book The Masters of the Far East seems to be a lot like living in fourth density, and we find that the heart of the question concerning ascension while in the physical body is keyed to this realization. Life, as it passes by the individual consciousness, seems to be very solid. Yet, it is not. The flow of time and space has endless potential. For those who seek deeply enough into the present moment, that moment, every moment, comes alive. Beneath your feet, the floor opens up and you can dive into that present moment. Boundaries fall away and as the song which you heard before this meditation says, you can be unbound.

Then Q’uo said in terms of activity within our body, they do not find that this is a helpful concept for all people because each of us has won our way into the Earth plane at the time of the harvest, and many there are who wished to have incarnations upon Earth at this time, either to help raise the consciousness of Earth with our love, or to do the work of third density in achieving a balance between love and wisdom, love and power, or wisdom and power, so having won our way into the physical, we find there is wisdom in choosing to stay with the incarnation until we have learned all we can, and served all we are able, and are ready to let go of third density and all of its gifts and challenges. Then Q’uo said as Y noted that the kind of ascension that she has seen discussed in the book The Masters of the Far East seems to be a lot like living in fourth density, and that Q’uo found that the heart of the question concerning ascension while in the physical body is keyed to this realization, so as life passes by our individual consciousness seems to be solid, yet it is not, and the flow of time and space has endless potential, so for those who seek deeply enough into the present moment, every moment comes alive, and beneath our feet, the floor opens up, and we can dive into that present moment, and boundaries fall away and as the song which we heard before this meditation says, we can be unbound. On March 20, Q’uo described the nature of the present moment:

Worry not about that which is projected from the present moment into that which shall be a future moment. Do and be in this moment and allow each succeeding moment to be created from the harmony of this moment. It is natural for entities within your third-density illusion to move from the present moment and to reminisce about those previous experiences and to project those that may occur in your future, for the present moment is that which is the most illusory and difficult to comfortably place oneself within, for all of one’s life, then, is contained within that immediacy of experience which the present moment surrounds. And for most entities who have not consciously considered the purpose of the life pattern, the present moment is that which shall be escaped from. Thus, we would recommend that you share your love at each present moment when it is felt and allow the moment to be enough unto itself.

Some attempt to approach this state of consciousness from the standpoint of clearing the body—eating well, exercising well, and so forth. Others seek to reach that state by going more and more into meditation, slowing down what this instrument sometimes calls “the monkey mind” and allowing spaciousness to flood in to the mind that is too concerned with the ten thousand things. Others approach the problem of lifting consciousness from its moorings in third density by reading and attempting to assimilate the gathered wisdom of all religions and all cultures, all systems of lore and myth. And although the scholar’s way often stays within the head, rattling around, filling the mind’s closets and shelves with too much information, the wisdom seeps down into the heart of the scholar and pulls him forward. There are as many ways to approach the evolution of mind/body and spirit as there are people.

The key to this work is this: the consciousness that you share with all others who are self-aware is one. It is the consciousness of the Creator. It is the consciousness of complete and unconditional Love. It is not Love as known to the poets who speak of romance. It is not the Love of brother for brother. It is not the Love that is sentimentalized in valentines tied up with ribbons, gifted with pretty gems. This is a Love that creates and destroys. This is a state of aliveness and endless potential. The vibration of Love is the vibration upon which the planets turn in their courses, the suns rotate in the galaxies ever so slowly to your eyes as they climb the heavens. You are a spark of that one original Thought. Advancement in any density can be measured by how near the vibration of your consciousness matches the vibration of the one infinite Creator.

Now Q’uo said some of us attempt to approach this state of consciousness from the standpoint of clearing our body by eating well and exercising well, and others seek to reach that state by going more into meditation, slowing down what Carla calls “the monkey mind”and allowing spaciousness to flood in to our mind that is too concerned with ten thousand things, and others approach the problem of lifting consciousness from its moorings in third density by reading and attempting to assimilate the gathered wisdom of all religions, all cultures, and all systems of lore and myth, so although the scholar’s way often stays within our head, filling our mind’s closets and shelves with too much information, the wisdom seeps down into our heart of the scholar and pulls us forward, and there are as many ways to approach the evolution of mind, body, and spirit as there are people. Now Q’uo said the key to this work is this: the consciousness that we share with all others who are self-aware is one since it is the consciousness of the Creator, and it is the consciousness of unconditional Love, but it is not Love as known to the poets who speak of romance, and it is not the Love of brother for brother, and it is not the Love that is sentimentalized in valentines tied up with ribbons, and gifted with pretty gems because this is a Love that creates and destroys, a state of aliveness and endless potential, so the vibration of Love is the vibration upon which the planets turn in their courses, and the suns rotate in the galaxies ever so slowly to our eyes as they climb the heavens, so we are a spark of that one original Thought, and advancement in any density can be measured by how near the vibration of our consciousness matches the vibration of the one infinite Creator. On December 12, 2005, Q’uo described the nature of the vibration of Love:

The vibration of Love, in the sense of unconditional Love or Logos, is a particular vibration that has created all that there is. Consequently, we cannot say that Love and truth are absolutely equal. For in the sense of the Logos, that is a way of describing the Creator Itself.

Youdo not mean to subvert or dilute this consciousness of Love. It is inevitable that there will be distortion. There will be a measurable dynamic between the vibration of Love and the vibration of your being at this moment. You are seeking to lessen that distortion so that you may avail yourself of the vibration of Love and be taken into the waters of that consciousness. Those who would be priests among all peoples have generally sought to work with consciousness itself, to work with their thoughts, both on a moment-to-moment basis and on the deeper level of work in consciousness, to tune their thoughts to the pitch of Love. In many, many ways there has been the dedication to devotion of the beloved One. There has been time set aside to tabernacle with the Creator, to come in from the desert of everyday life into the oasis of grace and mercy, to enter the tent of prayer and to rest in silence with the Beloved, blind to the world, open to the spirit.

You may have wondered why there is such a multiplicity of takes on how to serve the Creator, how to know the Creator. The answer to that, my friends, lies deep within the history of your planet, deep within the minds of its people. You have, among you on Planet Earth, sixteen different archetypal minds. They vary in seemingly small ways, yet the cultures produced by these archetypal minds vary widely in the way perception works. And it is according to the perception of people that they must work within the veil, veiled from memory of other incarnations for the most part, veiled from memory of the way things are outside of the veil. Various archetypal minds, various cultures, have found different doors of perception that work for them.

Q’uo went on to say we do not mean to dilute this consciousness of Love, and it is inevitable that there will be distortion between the vibration of Love and the vibration of our being at this moment, and we are seeking to lessen that distortion so that we may take advantage of the vibration of Love and be taken into the waters of that consciousness, and those of us who would be priests among all people have sought to work with consciousness, and to work with our thoughts on a moment-to-moment basis and on the deeper level of work in consciousness, to tune our thoughts to the pitch of Love, so in many ways there has been the dedication to devotion of the beloved One, and there has been time set aside to tabernacle with the Creator, to come in from the desert of everyday life and to rest in silence with the Beloved, blind to the world and open to the Spirit. Q’uo continued by saying we may have wondered why there is such a multiplicity of views on how to serve the Creator, how to know the Creator, and the answer to that lies deep within the history of our planet, and deep within the minds of our people we have sixteen different archetypal minds among us on Earth, and they vary in small ways, yet the cultures produced by these archetypal minds vary widely in the way perception works, so it is according to the perception of people that we must work within the veil, veiled from memory of our previous incarnations, and veiled from memory of the way things are outside of the veil, so various archetypal minds and cultures have found different doors of perception that work for them. On December 10, 2006, Q’uo gave examples of some of the archetypal cultures on Earth today:

Each sun or sub-Logos, as this instrument would say, has made choices in how the fundamental consciousness of the planetary population will express itself. We are not talking about the level of conscious choice, but rather the level of the archetypal mind and the roots of consciousness. For each planetary tribe, there is a unique flavor and quality to the archetypal and mythical aspects of that tribe. When coming to the second-chance planet of planet Earth, those populations carried the uniqueness of their archetypal minds, their roots of consciousness, with them.

When you look at races upon your planet, those who look a certain way and are called Caucasian, those who look a certain way and are called Hispanic, those who look a certain way and are called Native Americans, and so forth, you are looking at entities that don’t simply look a bit different on the surface. They are different, at the roots of their consciousness, in ways that they can never consciously express except by art or music or some craft which escapes the bondage of words and the intellectual or analytical mind.

Consequently, upon planet Earth at this time you have many tribes who are having their second chance at making the choice between love and service to others or that love which is turned into fear and service to self.

The perception of those such as the one known as Y has found useful is a perception that does not accept the reality of third density in the physical illusion. This is radically different from, for instance, the typical perception of those within the American culture or the European culture where great respect is given to the solidity of life, its mass and weight and physical characteristics. Your culture has found great value in coming more and more to understand how things work from the standpoint of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and so forth.

Those who are able to develop the kind of realization that frees them ultimately from the bounds of the physical are those who have grown up breathing in the air of belief in the reality not of this illusion but of the Creator. It is indeed bewildering to many who are in the European or American cultures to consider that their bodies, their obviously physical, obviously present bodies that have weight and mass, might not be real. It is a matter of perception. Those growing up where value was given to the physical illusion would not tend to be capable of opening those doors of those masters of the Far East. This does not mean that those who focus according to Buddhist or Hindu principles have less opportunity or more opportunity to open the gateway to intelligent infinity. It means that their perception of what they are doing varies, sometimes radically.

Q’uo continued by saying the perception of those such as Y has found useful is a perception that does not accept the reality of third density, and this is different from the typical perception within the American culture or the European culture where respect is given to the solidity of our life and its mass and weight, so our culture has found value in coming to understand more about how things work from the standpoint of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Now Q’uo said those of us who are able to develop the kind of realization that frees us from the bounds of the physical are those of us who have grown up breathing in the air of belief in the reality, not of this illusion, but of the Creator, so it is bewildering to many of us who are in the European or American cultures to consider that our bodies that have weight and mass, might not be real, and it is a matter of perception, so those of us growing up where value was given to the physical illusion would not tend to be capable of opening those doors of those masters of the Far East, but this does not mean that those of us who focus according to Buddhist or Hindu principles have less opportunity or more opportunity to open the gateway to intelligent infinity, but it means that our perception of what we are doing varies. On March 29, 2008, Q’uo described how we may open the gateway to intelligent infinity:

Faith is a vibration or energy which is far less distorted from the truth than any other vibration or energy which you as a third density entity are able to realize, express, or manifest. It is deeply connected with the indigo-ray chakra and is also fully conversant with that process of the indigo and violet ray moving through the gateway to intelligent infinity.

Power, my brother, can move through any of the chakra energies. And in making one’s life sacred, one discovers the joy of expressing one’s power through the highest possible expression, which is that of faith. An entity which has the faculty of faith well developed is indeed a most powerful beacon. So, we would not equate power with faith, but rather would say that it is a matter of the seeker’s journey to find higher and higher expressions of their will, their power, and their focus.

We will say this, my friends, there are ways in which individuals steeped in a culture that supports the unreality of physicality will find, given a lifetime of work in consciousness, to be able to manipulate matter so that it appears and disappears. You have seen in those who demonstrate hypnosis that if the perception of a person changes, actions can be taken that would seem to harm that person, such as running a needle through the arm or walking on coals that are burning embers. Yet under the influence of a hypnotist, a hypnotized person feels no pain at the stick of the needle, feels no burning as he walks over fire. It is a matter of perception.

For those who find these methods of seeking the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator such a seeking to cleanse the body, furnish the mind, understand what is happening and so forth, all of these various efforts can be very helpful. We suggest that the seeker play with such ideas lightly, musingly, as the cow chews its cud slowly, and if the mind catches fire, if the heart catches fire, then perhaps this method is one which will be a good resource for you. To offer a more general perception to those who would find it useful, we might say that the matter of matter does not matter. You can think of ascension as taking your physical body with you. Many do.

Q’uo said there are ways in which individuals steeped in a culture that supports the unreality of physicality will find, given a lifetime of work in consciousness, that that they are able to manipulate matter so that it appears and disappears, and we have seen in those who demonstrate hypnosis that if the perception of a person changes, actions can be taken that would seem to harm that person, such as running a needle through the arm, or walking on coals that are burning, yet a hypnotized person feels no pain at the stick of the needle, feels no burning as he walks over fire since it is a matter of perception. Q’uo went on to say for those of us who find these methods of seeking the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator a seeking to cleanse our body, furnish our mind, and understand what is happening, then all of these efforts can be helpful, so Q’uo suggested that we play with such ideas lightly, and if our mind catches fire, and if our heart catches fire, then this method is one which will be a good resource for us, but to offer a more general perception to those who would find it useful Q’uo said  that matter does not matter, and we can think of ascension as taking our physical body with us. On April 1, 2006, Q’uo gave a detailed description of the ascension process:

Your life is a process of gradual ascension. You start with raw ingredients. Throughout your life, each choice that you make advances the distilling process. At the moment of death, the gateway to larger life opens and you yourself are able to see with the enhanced vision of time/space where you are in your ascension process. You are the judge that you have so feared. Your spirit guide, guidance system, or higher self, is there with you as a resource to you.

From our point of view, we see the term spirit guide as somewhat lacking in specificity. We would rather discuss the higher self for in terms of the structure of this resource of the self, the higher self comes from a place in the circle of your personality stream, shall we say, or your soul stream, that is far in advance of your consciousness within incarnation at this time. The higher self is your self at a point within sixth density where the lessons of unity have been so far advanced that you as an entity have become aware in sixth density that you are moving away from close contact with that which has been laid within your memory as the occurrences of all of the densities up through sixth.

They are falling away from you at this point and your mind, heart, and will are turning ever more toward the face of the Creator. You are acquiring enough spiritual gravity that you are aware that this is your goodbye to the self of this creation. You are not any longer interested in your personality shell. You are ready to be absorbed into the Godhead principle once again.

And so, you turn in the midst of sixth density in this very precious and pivotal point in the distillation of your soul, and you leave a resource behind as a gift to yourself. It is available in third density, fourth density, fifth density, and, if needed, in the beginning of sixth density for that soul and spirit that you are. Your higher self is inextricably bound into your consciousness. It must be asked in order to be heard. The Spirit, or higher self, will not speak unless it is asked; it can not intrude upon free will. It must wait for your interest, your desire, your questions, your cries, your groanings, your rejoicings, and any other conversation that you wish to have. It waits patiently, full of love, knowing you because it is you but you at your highest and best. So, there is color to the spirit. There is energy and liveness, but there is not is physicality. The spirit is uncreated. It is a resource, an essence if you will. Therefore, at the moment of death your higher self is with you, part of you, supporting and encouraging you as you walk into the Light of larger life.

 Or you can think of ascension as a state of consciousness that has nothing to do with the physical body. If your perceptions find that thinking of ascension without regard to the physical body is useful then we would say this. In a very deep and real way, each of you is at the center of a Creation, your creation. In a world where everything is, in a clichéd way, relative, you can easily and comfortably accept the proposition that your experience is subjective. You may strive all your life to achieve objectivity, but you see, my friends, you are there. You are a witness, and that which you observe is observed according to your perceptions. The truth lies beyond perception. The truth lies beyond the conscious mind; that is, the intellect. It is not beyond the mind of the heart, which is consciousness itself. Yet consciousness itself is. It is not a doer. You are the action figure in your drama. Consciousness abides. Therefore, it is easier to be Love than to be able to speak of Love.

Your creation is made up of the way you choose to think about things, the way you choose to observe and perceive things. The striving of humanity in third density is to move beyond the limits of normal perception and open the doors to all that there is. Consequently, if you wish to ascend within the body, that is, the physical body, you shall wish to let your intuition bring to you the activities and the thoughts that will help you to achieve that. Consciousness, awareness, perception, is malleable and easily influenced by many things. This instrument has many times had the experience of reading something incorrectly because of a good deal of astigmatism in her vision, so that one set of words become something else entirely. Many times, this instrument has gotten something out of words that she read incorrectly. Was her perception misguided? It does not matter whether she read correctly or incorrectly. What matters is how she responded to that which she perceived. That is your Creation in the making: your awareness that you are a Creator and that you can create a subjective creation that suits you not a little or not for the most part, but through and through.

Then Q’uo said we can think of ascension as a state of consciousness that has nothing to do with our physical body, so if our perceptions find that thinking of ascension without regard to our physical body is useful then in a deep and real way, each of us is at the center of our creation, and in a world where everything is relative, we can accept the proposition that our experience is subjective, so we may strive all our life to achieve objectivity, but we are there, and we are a witness, and that which we observe is observed according to our perceptions, but the truth lies beyond our conscious mind of our intellect, but it is not beyond our mind of our heart which is consciousness itself, yet consciousness itself is, and it is not a doer, so we are the action figure in our drama and consciousness abides, so it is easier to be Love than to be able to speak of Love. Q’uo continued by saying our creation is made up of the way we choose to think about things and the way we choose to perceive things, so the striving of humanity in third density is to move beyond the limits of normal perception and open the doors to all that there is, so if we wish to ascend within the physical body, we shall let our intuition bring to us the activities and the thoughts that will help us to achieve that because consciousness is malleable and easily influenced by many things, and Carla has many times had the experience of reading something incorrectly because of a good deal of astigmatism in her vision, so that one set of words become something else entirely, so many times she has gotten something out of words that she read incorrectly, but it does not matter whether she read correctly or incorrectly, so what matters is how she responded to that which she perceived, and that is our Creation in the making, that our awareness that we are a Creator, and that we can create a subjective creation that suits us through and through. On April 27, 2024, Q’uo spoke about the value of our intuition:

At this time, you are unaware that that quality which is the higher self is you, for the higher self is a greater portion of who you are. You are all things, the higher self, and the One Creator as well. However, the higher self is more like the teacher in the school room, where you in the incarnate state are a student. And as you ask the higher self for more questions about your journey, then sometimes they are answered through your higher self, or your guides that might communicate via your intuition, your hunches, those thoughts that come to you, shall we say, out of the blue; and yet, it’s not out of the blue, but it is out of you, for you are one with these sources of information, and you are expanding your own experience of yourself when you make contact with these guides, your higher self and others within the inner planes that are aware of you and are attracted to you by the way you seek on your spiritual path.

Youhave this saying in your culture. It is, “What goes around, comes around.” How you perceive has a tremendous amount to do with what happens to you. Say that you are one who perceives with a rosy hue, you are an optimist. You see hope and faith everywhere. That which happens to you will be interpreted according to your expectation of all things turning out well. There are those who feel that everything is hopeless. The world is meaningless, existence has no point, and the only appropriate point of view is ironic, desperate and without hope. To such a person even the sunniest day will have shadows. Both entities are seeing truly for themselves. Their experience overwrites what could be called “objective reality.” Your experience will always overwrite the parts that make up the sum of what you observe.

Consequently, you can indeed create of your experience of life an environment that more and more nearly matches the vibration of the infinite One. You can avail yourself of that vibration. That which is real in the universe is both infinite and limited. Unity is that which is real. You are all one. We are all one with you. The Creation is all one interconnected being. Consciousness abides. Whether you, like the masters of the Far East, focus on a set of perceptions having to do with the physical body, or whether you choose any one of a number of other ways of viewing the Creation and your place in it, regardless of what you think reality is, spiritual evolution is a matter of gradually lessening the difference between your vibration and the vibration of the one infinite Creator.

Now Q’uo said we have this saying in our culture of “What goes around, comes around,” and how we perceive it has a lot to do with what happens to us, so say that we are an optimist, and we see hope and faith everywhere, so that which happens to us will be interpreted according to our expectation of all things turning out well, but there are those who feel that everything is hopeless, and the only appropriate point of view is without hope, so to such a person even the sunniest day will have shadows, and both of us are seeing for our selves, so our experience overwrites “objective reality,” and it will always overwrite the parts that make up the sum of what we observe. Now Q’uo said we can create of our experience of life an environment that more nearly matches the vibration of the infinite One, and we can avail our self of that vibration, so that which is real in the universe is both infinite and limited, and unity is real, so we are all one, and Q’uo is one with us, so the Creation is all one interconnected being that abides, and whether we, like the masters of the Far East, focus on a set of perceptions having to do with our body, or whether we choose any one of a number of other ways of viewing the Creation and our place in it, and regardless of what we think reality is, spiritual evolution is a matter of lessening the difference between our vibration and the vibration of the one infinite Creator. On September 13, 1981, Hatonn defined how we can enhance our spiritual evolution:

May we only suggest that in any seeking which you may undertake, if you should wish to evaluate its effectiveness as regards your own spiritual evolution, you may simply ask yourself the question, “How may I serve others through this activity?” If you can find ways to share the Love of the Creator with those brothers and sisters who are one with you upon this planet, then you have done that which is of great value, and you have accomplished a feat that few upon your planet can name as their own.

This instrument has often yearned for the peace that lies beyond the veil, in a land where all is known, as is the experience of a fictional character called Ria, yet there are many times within this instrument’s life when she has found that she is in fourth density because she lives, as far as she knows how, by fourth-density values. If you could think of this kind of perception as an environment, such as a room or a house, one could say that this instrument spends some time in that room, but not all the time. There is a constant moving in and moving out of that state of mind because of the happenings of the day, that which impinges upon this instrument’s consciousness. We feel that she is a useful example in that all entities tend to vary from moment to moment and from day to day.

Those who take themselves apart from society so that they may focus inwardly with more purity will have a different walk than those who choose to live their priestly life in the hustle and bustle of the noontide, with the buses honking and the trains running, the people going to and fro in their errands, doing their work. It is not true that it is necessary to separate from one’s society in order to achieve spiritual realization. It is only true that it is a very different walk, and there are gradations of practice that enable each person to choose for himself or herself how much of the walk shall be in company and how much shall be in retreat. There is no right answer. There is only the assurance that, as far as we know, that which you seek can be accomplished in any environment in which your seeking and your desire have value. You can indeed live in fourth density this moment. It may happen to you inadvertently or it may happen to you as a result of the discipline of your mind and your body.

Feel for a moment the quality of consciousness within you. Feel it filling you, your chest, your limbs, your torso. Feel your heart expand as you focus on this consciousness. Feel the Love in that consciousness. This is your basic tool, consciousness itself. It is inevitably true that speaking will confuse you, distract you, seduce you, and whether you are amused or, charmed or, dismayed by words, they cannot be said to lead you into essence. Consequently, in order to dwell in the environment of your choice, we encourage contemplation, meditation, prayer, or any way that you choose to enter the silence, to come out from the desert to the oasis and go into the tent of tabernacle. For the infinite One is ever awaiting you to companion you, to love you and to empower you for service.

Now Q’uo said Carla has often yearned for the peace that lies beyond the veil, in a land where all is known, yet there are many times within her life when she has found that she is in fourth density because she lives by fourth-density values, so if we could think of this kind of perception as a room or a house, we could say that she spends some time in that room, but not all the time because there is a moving in and moving out of that state of mind because of the happenings of the day, that which impinges upon her consciousness, and Q’uo felt that she is a useful example in that all of us tend to vary from moment to moment and from day to day. Q’uo continued by saying those of us who move our selves apart from society so that we may focus inwardly with more purity will have a different walk than those who choose to live their priestly life in the hustle and bustle of the noontide, with the buses honking and the trains running, the people going to and fro in their errands, doing their work, but it is not true that it is necessary to separate from our society in order to achieve spiritual realization, but it is only true that it is a different walk, and there are gradations of practice that enable us to choose for our selves how much of the walk shall be in company and how much shall be in retreat since there is no right answer, so there is only the assurance that which we seek can be accomplished in any environment in which our seeking has value, and we can live in fourth density this moment, so it may happen to us by chance, or it may happen to us as a result of the discipline of our mind and our body. Then Q’uo said to feel the quality of consciousness within us, and feel it filling our chest, our limbs, our torso, and feel our heart expand as we feel the Love in this consciousness which is our basic tool, and it is true that speaking will confuse us, and whether we are amused or dismayed by words, they cannot be said to lead us into essence, so in order to dwell in the environment of our choice, Q’uo encouraged contemplation, meditation, prayer, or any way that we choose to enter the silence, to come out from the desert to the oasis and go into the tent of tabernacle, for the infinite One is ever awaiting us to love us and to empower us for service. On September 17, 1995, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our essence:

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, but aware of no sure means of describing the nature of the soul with words that can be understood, for the nature of each soul is the essence of each soul, is the essence of the one Creator, and this essence at its heart is mystery. There is energy. There is intelligence. There is infinity. There is unity. All these are a portion of this soul essence.

We would at this time ask if there is a follow-up to this query. We are those of Q’uo.

[Pause]

We are those of Q’uo, and since this instrument’s ears have heard nothing but silence and the occasional creaking of a chair may we ask if there would be a final query this evening before we leave this instrument.

E: I have a question. My question is more than an epistemological question regarding the knowledge of the chakras and/or concepts of energy centers. I want to know where this knowledge first came from. Was it purely through experience or was knowledge of these received some other way which then generated or manifested the experience of them?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. We offer to the one known as E that there is a feedback system that tends to bring one to a more and more accurate perception of the truth about things unseen. We would say that there have always been those in third density for whom the veil was thinner. Some have sensitivity to sight and can actually see the auras of the chakra system as they interpenetrate the body. Some have a heightened sensitivity to color and can feel, perceive, and sense, if not see, the variation of colors and patterns as one moves up the chakra body along the spine from the groin to the top of the head.

One way and another, perceptions have been shared. And as perceptions are shared, intelligence grows for all of the group with whom this intelligence is shared. This intelligence in turn creates the possibility for more detail to be filled in by those who are sensitive in one way or another. So, in a sense, it was all from observation that this system of chakras or energy centers and their correspondences has been noted down and discovered, shall we say. And yet there is always that aid from Spirit that comes to those who are keenly focusing upon certain material. Therefore, we would have to say that it is basically a feedback system. This is not an entirely satisfactory answer to your query but in order to penetrate deeper, my sister, we would need more time than we have with this instrument at this time.

E’s question was: “My question is more than an epistemological question regarding the knowledge of the chakras and/or concepts of energy centers. I want to know where this knowledge first came from. Was it purely through experience or was knowledge of these received some other way which then generated or manifested the experience of them?” Q’uo began by saying we offer to E a feedback system that tends to bring us to a more accurate perception of the truth about things unseen, and there have always been those in third density for whom the veil was thinner, so some have sensitivity to sight and can actually see the auras of the chakra system as they interpenetrate the body, and some have a heightened sensitivity to color and can perceive the variation of colors and patterns as they move up the chakra body along the spine from the groin to the top of the head. Q’uo went on to say one way and another, perceptions have been shared, and as perceptions are shared, intelligence grows for all of the group with whom this intelligence is shared, and this intelligence creates the possibility for more detail to be filled in by those of us who are sensitive in one way or another, so it was all from observation that this system of chakras and their correspondences have been discovered, and there is always that aid from Spirit that comes to those who are focusing upon certain material, and this is a feedback system, but Q’uo said this is not a satisfactory answer to your query, but in order to penetrate deeper we would need more time than we have with this instrument at this time. On April 15, 2017, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the system of the chakras from red through green:

The light first makes its entrance into your system of chakras through the base energy center, that which has been called the red-ray center. This center is that which is concerned with the very basic functions of your life pattern: the survival of your physical and mental vehicles, and the reproduction of your physical vehicle itself. All catalyst is first reacted to at this base energy center, and the reaction of this center could be said to have a certain vibrational frequency that is audible to the metaphysical ear, the ear that has been tuned to the sounds of the universe, shall we say, for all the creation is alive and each portion of it sings its sacred song to the One Creator. The red ray, therefore, has the lower notes in this musical arrangement of energy centers, and will pass the intelligent energy higher into the orange-ray energy center if there is no significant blockage at the red ray.

At the orange ray, the energy vibrates in a more, as you would say, rapid fashion, so that it becomes focused more carefully upon your individual expressions of identity in your relationships with other entities on a one-to-one basis. Here we have the ability to harmonize the energies of two entities, or if there is not immediate harmony, then there is a different kind of sound vibration that is the result of the interaction of two entities, and will reflect a certain amount of harmony or a lack thereof.

If there is still no significant blockage that totally blocks the intelligent energy, it shall continue its rise upward into the yellow-ray energy center in which the vibrations of the entity are again enhanced or increased, so that the relationship of the individual is now with a group of individuals and allows a greater ability to respond to this interaction. And this response, again, is amplified in such a manner that there is a higher pitch to the interaction between the individual and the group in which it finds itself, be it the family, the community, the school, work, team, and so forth. Many are the groups in your social complex, for indeed, you are grouped together in many various ways that allow individual expression to be magnified and cover a larger area, shall we say, of the experience available to each seeker of truth.

Within your third-density illusion, the goal is for this energy of the sub-Logos to move eventually into the heart, to the green-ray energy center, that again amplifies or accelerates the vibrational tone so that it takes on a more, shall we say, ethereal or higher pitch, that, then—when seen in comparison to the tones of the red, the orange, and the yellow energy centers—begins to blend in what is hoped to be an harmonious fashion so that one, who has a sensitive ear of the inner variety, may be able to discern an energy center blockage where there is a lack of harmony in the lower centers, that would, when relieved or balanced, bring the energies into the green ray.

The energies are also available to move higher when the conscious seeker of truth has mastered the ability to give and receive Love from all those about one, and give it as well to those who surround the entity. This Love is not only given to those intelligent beings which the seeker of truth interacts with on a daily basis, but to the entire creation; for at this level of being, the seeker of truth becomes aware that the entire creation is made of that quality that vibrates in harmony with the green-ray energy center, that being the Love vibration.

Thus, this vibration of love begins to find a resonance within the total system of energy centers and causes the tones of each center to be raised to a minimum, shall we say, graduation frequency, so that there becomes within the seeker a kind of sacred choral hymn, emanating on a constant basis that becomes, what you might say, the identifying vibration of the entity. Each ascending energy center beyond the green will also increase the pitch and quality of the tone of the energy center as it is able to become activated, balanced, and open, ready to received further intelligent energy and move it upwards, until eventually, at the violet ray there is the ability of the seeker of truth to have the experience of union with the One Creator that gives this entity the ability to be harvested at any moment that it chooses within the incarnational pattern.

However, for most entities of the third density, the graduation into the fourth density is that which is accomplished at the end of the incarnational period as the seeker moves through the death process, as you call it, in its indigo-ray body and walks the steps of light to determine the ability to welcome and enjoy a higher frequency of the light vibration.

May we answer you in any way further? We are those of Q’uo

E: No, thank you.

We thank you, my sister. It is such a pleasure to be with each of you! Yet now it is time to take our leave of you. It is not in our nature or our environment to come among you and give you hugs but we feel the desire to give you hugs. We love you and we thank you for being you. We leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I went outside and cleaned the filters for the fountain on the fishpond. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the back yard into two piles which I then put into a garbage can for yard waste pickup next week. At 11 am I was once again honored to be a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. Some of the questions I was asked had to do with maintaining a feeling of love in our crazy world today, how Carla’s tuning and challenging of spirits process worked, the channeling of guides and our higher self, channeling only in groups and the necessity of challenging all unknown sources, and Jonathan’s Pop Quiz had to do with Juneteenth in which it took two and one-half years for slaves in Texas to find out that they were free, along with many other open-hearted questions of how to travel the spiritual journey as an awakened spiritual seeker of truth.

This afternoon two of my favorite staff members from the Middletown Animal Clinic came by to take a tour of my flower gardens and the houseplants in my home. I thanked them for many years of taking care of Carla’s and my kitty cats, and told them that I looked forward to keeping in contact with each other.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 7

Be Glad For Imperfection

Greetings. I am the blessed principle of the truth and peace of the consciousness of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the Love of Christ.

It may seem to you that you are not getting very far, very fast, along your spiritual path. You may be upset at the lack of symmetry in the arrangement of your daily life, feeling that it is not in conformation with your desires.

And yet with imperfection comes a kind of opening of the Spirit to the challenges of the mind. Would you have your outer life so smooth, seamless and perfect that there is in it no room for revelation of self-consciousness? Be glad for the imperfection that keeps your minds busy.

Peace be with you.

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.
