I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for today comes from November 16, 1986:

What do you say to people who are considering a divorce, ending a commitment?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. I come in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator, and because we speak through this instrument, we say to this group alone, we do come in the name of Christ, for it is not your Christ only, but Christ, a Love, the Love, the Love of the Creator. How could we not come in that holy name, for, indeed, we too honor Love as we would honor our mother and our father, for Love is mother and father of all of us.

We greet each of you, and we thank you for the privilege of being able to speak with this group. It is a pleasure to be using this instrument. We note the roughened condition of the instrument’s throat and will attempt to be less forceful than is our usual habit. My children, we offer our answers in Love and in hopes of being of service, and yet because your question is about divorce, as you call this custom, our points of view diverge dramatically, and in sharing with you our point of view, we so far wish not to influence any unduly that we ask most especially for each seeker’s careful discrimination in using any part of what we say, for we would not wish you to act as you think you ought, but as you feel. It is your discrimination and your choice at all times, and the greatest teaching, the most ideal rule, the most exalted creed is as nothing if it is not the echo of your heart, and your mind, and your will. It is, indeed, doing damage to yourself to take concrete and irreversible steps which are not of your own choosing. It is less unfortunate if the choice is temporary, and yet we would wish not to be of disservice at all. Therefore, please take those things we say and weigh them carefully.

Our view. We pause due to the fact this instrument has ambivalence in her mind. We scan and find that we understand. There are two situations—one in marriage, one a commitment without your marriage. This is not a substantive difference to us—we find it is to this instrument.

We shall, however, use our own frame of reference, and thus we should say that we find the purpose of the mated pair to be increased efficiency in the gaining of catalyst, fellow aid in the processing of catalyst into experience, and the supplying of a yokefellow for whatever service you have created for yourself, with the aid of your higher self and the Creator, for polarizing within your own incarnational experience. In any density higher than your own, partners in catalyst are chosen with much clearer eyes, for the veil of the subconscious mind and the veil between minds are both alike lifted, and each entity has a much advanced grasp both of their own nature and of the nature of others. Those polarizing for service to other self will most always choose an entity whose vibrational nexus complements and enhances one’s own. Those involved in polarizing towards service to self are unpredictable in their choices as regards vibrational compatibility, for other considerations having to do with those things which are of the illusion are more important.

To follow this line of reasoning back into third density, may we say that a persistent difficulty in speaking of your matings within your civilization is the great variety of motives for inaugurating and sustaining such a relationship. Almost never is it for the reason that is most closely aligned with the actual function and purpose of the mated relationship. Almost never is suffering, hardship and trouble used as the reason for choosing a future partner. And yet, this is the precise experience you wish to share, for your illusion is created in order that you may suffer and learn. That is the purpose of there being an illusion, for self-consciousness must be awakened. The third density begins with a sense of self asleep, and happiness and contentment do little to awaken the soul. It is the interactions with others that bring grief, suffering, loss, and trauma which create the opportunities you most cherished before the incarnation.

The group question for this session is: “What do you say to people who are considering a divorce, ending a commitment?” Q’uo began by saying we shall use our own frame of reference, and we say that we find the purpose of the mated pair to be increased efficiency in the gaining of catalyst, aid in the processing of catalyst into experience, and the supplying of a yokefellow for whatever service you have created for yourself, with the aid of your higher self and the Creator for polarizing within your own incarnational experience, so in any density higher than your own, partners in catalyst are chosen with clearer eyes, for the veil between the subconscious mind and the conscious mind is lifted, and each entity has an advanced grasp both of their own nature and of the nature of others, and those polarizing for service to other selves will always choose an entity whose vibrational nexus enhances one’s own, but those involved in polarizing towards service to self are unpredictable in their choices as regards vibrational compatibility, for other considerations having to do with those things which are of the illusion are more important. Q’uo went on to say to follow this line of reasoning back into third density, we say that a persistent difficulty in speaking of your matings within your civilization is the variety of motives for sustaining such a relationship, yet never is it for the reason that is aligned with the purpose of the mated relationship, so almost never is suffering used as the reason for choosing a future partner, but this is the experience you wish to share, for your illusion is created in order that you may suffer and learn, and that is the purpose of there being an illusion, for self-consciousness must be awakened since third density begins with a sense of self asleep, and contentment does little to awaken the soul, for it is the interactions with others that bring suffering which creates the opportunities you cherished before the incarnation. On July 9, 1989, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the mated relationship:

Each entity within a mated relationship brings, shall we say, the baggage, the lessons which await the learning, the lessons which have been processed to some degree, and the lessons which have been ignored or refused, shall we say. As the couple proceeds in the mated relationship, each shall find that there is the necessity of focusing upon certain lessons that are individual in nature and are shared in nature. Each shall find that it becomes a portion of the other’s incarnational pattern and must in some way process that other self’s experience in order to find the harmonious or agreed-upon balance in the relationship in each area awaiting the learning.

If one entity in a mated relationship has chosen previous to the relationship to engage in any action which resists a certain lesson, that entity shall find at some point within the life pattern that the opportunity for learning that lesson shall again present itself in a form which is easier to distinguish, that is to say, which may cause somewhat more difficulty if the entity still presents the resistance to the lesson. If this is the case, then the entity’s mate shall find that there is a further ramification to the relationship that shall also affect it in a manner which is consonant with the overall design or purpose of the mated relationship.

Therefore, each entity brings into the relationship those areas which each shall find the necessity of focusing upon. It would seem at first glance that there could be the possibility of unfairness or an injustice in such a situation, for those areas left undone by either entity would then present both entities with the increased need to focus the attention and to process the catalyst in these areas. We would suggest that in truth there is no injustice or unfairness, for when the mated relationship is entered into, this is a function of pre-incarnative choices that have set forth the possibility of a relationship which would offer certain opportunities or challenges to each entity within the relationship. The fact that there are certain areas within each entity’s life pattern that may have been less well learned or processed is simply a portion of the overall nature of the relationship and those opportunities that the relationship has presented to each entity.

However, there being no grasp of the function of the mated relationship, the trauma of catalyst is seen not as what you have come to experience, not as the reason for which you became mated, not as an opportunity to learn what you came to learn, but as an unacceptable inconvenience, discomfort, and impediment, something to be shrugged off as if the mated relationship were a piece of clothing that could be shed. You can see, can you not, that we find ourselves little able to answer in what seems to be a sympathetic way when we are asked what we would say to one who wishes to dissolve a mated relationship? Certainly, we could explain the theory of choosing a mate for the purpose of learning through suffering, but this may not seem very persuasive to one who is suffering and wishes it to stop.

We would suggest that there be made special time for meditation. What could be gained in meditation, you may ask, when the problem, the catalyst, is coming from another? And we do not give a sympathetic response this time either, for the only sphere in which any entity has power is the sphere of the self. True power is power over the self, and the right use of power involves the self. There are in any difficulties which you experience, whether or not another has difficulties, problems of perception within yourself, my children. If you see anything except the face of Love, you are having difficulties with perception. The distortions are understandable and unnoticeable relative to other entities within the illusion. You may even feel that you have a clearer picture than others, and, indeed, you may.

Q’uo went on to say since there is no grasp of the function of the mated relationship, the trauma of catalyst is seen not as the reason for which you became mated, not as an opportunity to learn what you came to learn, but as an unacceptable inconvenience and something to be shrugged off as if the mated relationship were a piece of clothing that could be shed, so: “You can see, can you not, that we find ourselves little able to answer in what seems to be a sympathetic way when we are asked what we would say to one who wishes to dissolve a mated relationship?” Then Q’uo said we could explain the theory of choosing a mate for the purpose of learning through suffering, but this may not seem very persuasive to one who is suffering and wishes it to stop. Now Q’uo said we suggest that special time for meditation be made, for: “What could be gained in meditation when the problem, the catalyst, is coming from another?” Q’uo said we do not give a sympathetic response this time either, for the only sphere in which any entity has power is the sphere of the self, and true power is power over the self, and the right use of power involves the self because there are in any difficulties which you experience problems of perception within yourself, so if you see anything except the face of Love you are having difficulties with perception, and the distortions are understandable and unnoticeable relative to other entities within the illusion, so you may feel that you have a clearer picture than others, and you may. On November 8, 1992, Q’uo described some of the reasons for choosing a mate:

Within the culture which you now enjoy, for instance, the male qualities of power and wisdom are seen to be, shall we say, more than equal to the more archetypical feminine qualities, and to that extent the society is impoverished by losing the close working or partnership of societal male and female. This may be seen to reflect the archetypical choice of conquering the subconscious by strength, no matter how brutally used, rather than by courtship. In a heavily matriarchal society, however, the same imbalance would exist, but those powers of physical and emotional toughness and intellectual strengths, or logical strengths, may be seen to be forced into a prostituted roughness.

Thusly, neither the matriarchal nor the patriarchal model for societal balance is accurate. The appropriate model for third-density illusion, however, may be seen not to matter in society nearly as much as in the individual, for it is the individual which is now choosing how to express love in relationship to others. The reason this query about balance between male and female is central is that it is in wisely, compassionately using this balance that an entity, whether male or female, may wend its way more and more to the “golden mean,” the middle of the path of truth wherein, by becoming more and more whole within, the path becomes more and more telling and interesting as well as more productive.

There is not the necessity so much to overbalance into the opposite sex’s strengths as it is good to tend more and more towards automatic recognition of the assets and willingness to use the assets of the opposite sex’s strengths. For instance, the male begins, when choosing a mate and setting out to live a jointly lived life, to be more and more the archetypical patriarch, the provider, the judge and the decision making leader. However, the decisions made by the male shall become more and more truly wise as the male learns from its partner in learning, not only to appreciate the female strengths and wisdoms but to find sympathetic resonance betwixt those strengths in the female and the deeper portions of its own female side or nature.

Thusly, men do not need to become creatures of intuition and vagaries, however, if the wooing of the physical female partner is then extended, not only to wooing the female’s subconscious or Goddess-like side but also towards courting the same energy within self. Thusly, the male which is alone or the female which is alone becomes, within itself, able to seek, woo and to court the subconscious, or in the female’s case, is able to place intuition and whim which has the authentic ring of true punch in it, not simply into direct practice but may lean upon that portion of the deeper self which is male and may justly and cautiously work with the male energies, the male strengths, which may seat intuition and hunch into a plan of action which is logical and which has the strengths of intellectual structure to enable this compassion and wisdom be a more balanced expression. The male/female partnership of mates is intended to be central. However, the centrality of this relationship is echoed in any male/female relationship where energies are moving freely and without prejudice.

However, we are speaking of something that is removed from the illusion, and that is Love itself. For each entity has as its core reality the face of the Creator, the heart of Christ, the mind of Love. If you do not see that in your enemy, your mate, or the earth and sky itself, then you must polish your glasses and set yourself to study silence again. Do not be easy upon yourself here. For no matter what your actions, my children, it is well to have a bedrock within yourself where you have a metaphysical honesty that will give you strength. You may not be pleased with yourself, but it is well to attempt to continue to know and to bless the self in all its distortions. Any experience may be reexamined at any time for the possibility that the catalyst has become too much for the flawed illusory entity that you experience to buckle under, and so, rather than destroy your body or your mind by allowing truly impossible abuse, it might, of course, be possible and even necessary that there be a mated couple which must spend some time apart. It is our admittedly biased point of view that it is well to persevere at all times with only one question, and, as always, that question is “Where is God’s Love?”

My children, if you or your mate find Love in another, remember your own time of romance with gratitude and thanksgiving, and then wish the best and the highest and the most for your Love regardless of what your mate wishes to do. If the difficulty is a difference of opinion, turn from defending self and begin defending your Love, for does your mate not need you now more than ever? Is your mate not in pain? Words, gestures, any attempt at communication will heal much. And if they do not seem to be efficacious, that also is acceptable to us, for we expect the catalyst and do not attempt to rule its flow into our experience. It occurs to us that before we leave you, or we should say leave this instrument and this question, we can make one point which may be more telling, although we consider it to be no more central than any other, and that is this. The one who believes that by changing the situation, they will change their experience, is following a false belief, for those lessons which each came to learn are for each, shall we say, a list of priorities. When catalyst comes to a seeker, it is a sure thing that there is a lesson connected with the learning of the nature of Love which working through the catalyst will benefit so that you may become richer in experience and more conscious with the consciousness of Love.

Now Q’uo said we are speaking of something that is removed from the illusion, and that is Love itself, for each entity has as its core reality the face of the Creator, the heart of Christ, the mind of Love, but if you do not see that in your enemy, your mate, or the Earth and sky, then you must set yourself to study silence again, and do not be easy upon yourself, for no matter what your actions it is well to have a bedrock within yourself where you have a metaphysical honesty that will give you strength, so you may not be pleased with yourself, but it is well to attempt to continue to bless the self in all its distortions, yet any experience may be reexamined for the possibility that the catalyst has become too much for the entity that you experience to buckle under, so rather than destroy your body or your mind by allowing abuse, it might necessary that there be a mated couple which must spend some time apart, for it is our point of view that it is well to persevere at all times with only one question, and that is “Where is God’s Love?” Q’uo continued by saying if you or your mate find Love in another, remember your own time of romance with gratitude, and then wish the best and the highest for your Love regardless of what your mate wishes to do, and if the difficulty is a difference of opinion, turn from defending yourself and begin defending your Love: “For does your mate not need you now more than ever? Is your mate not in pain?”  Q’uo continued by saying any attempt at communication will heal much, and if it does not seem to be helpful, that is acceptable, for we expect the catalyst and do not attempt to rule its flow into our experience, for it occurs to us that before we leave this instrument and this question, we can make one point which may be more telling, and that is the one who believes that by changing the situation they will change their experience is following a false belief, for those lessons which each came to learn are for each a list of priorities, so when catalyst comes to a seeker, there is a lesson connected with the learning of the nature of Love which working through the catalyst will benefit you, so that you may become richer in experience and more conscious with the consciousness of Love. On May 20, 2017, Q’uo described how catalyst may be used when we have difficulties with anyone:

There is, within each soul’s incarnational pattern, those pre-incarnative lessons that each has fervently hoped would be able to be learned within the incarnational pattern. The subconscious mind of each has been programmed by the soul to look with a certain bias upon catalyst that comes in the notice of the seeker, so that at some point the heart chakra might be opened enough to experience a sense of loving those about one, of loving the self, of loving the universe about one. This type of transformation is possible when one is able to be alert and aware of the pre-incarnative lessons so that when catalyst comes one’s way, it can be seen in a certain fashion, so that no two entities would look at the same catalyst in the same way, since all are unique, and all have programmed certain lessons that are indeed unique, though they may include the lesson of Love in some facet or fashion for each entity.

When a lesson is declined by moving out of a situation, the same lesson shall be presented to the student again. The lesson, however, will be made clearer so that there is less chance of a misunderstanding. Translated into the perceptive bias of your illusion, that means the lesson will be more painful and will take longer to work out. Catalyst will be more extensive for the same experience. The one who walks away from a mated situation is buying time but not changing the catalyst that he or she is bound to have one way or another. To those who have divorced or been divorced, who have left commitments or have been left, we would say that there is no, what this instrument calls, “sin,” and what we would call error or mistake, in moving from a situation. It certainly buys, shall we say, trouble, yet with the wisdom of survival you have chosen to heal so that you may throw yourself once more into your catalyst with a new zeal. If you have been left, and you have found yourself acting in negative ways, ways demeaning to your mate or to yourself, we urge you to take hold of your will and your powers of Love, for if you have not been tested again, you shall be. You will feel betrayal and rejection somewhere and somehow. Next time, my children, offer your Love back to the situation.

To those of you who must leave or have left a committed relationship or marriage, do not weep for your past, but rather gird your loins, for your next impulse will give just as much catalyst as the one which gave the catalyst in the first place. This time attempt to infuse your actions with Love, with a Love that realizes compassion, with a Love that realizes the reason for relationships. Forgive and forgive again. Forgive yourself, forgive any who seem to have hurt you, remembering that you have faulty perceptions if you do not see Love in every situation. You have the power to create children of your thoughts, daughters and sons of your heart by what you say and how open your heart and hands are. We ask you to create Love. Love one another, my children. Always do what you must with no excuses and no need for recrimination and always turn your face forward and use what you have learned. This environment which we have called third density is a gift. Every tear, every ache of the heart is precious. We hope you can give thanksgiving in the hard times and find joy in tears, for truly enough, there is sadness in any joy within the illusion—should there not also be joy in any sadness?

Q’uo said when a lesson is declined by moving out of a situation, the same lesson shall be presented to the student again, but the lesson will be made clearer so there is less chance of a misunderstanding, and translated into the bias of your illusion the lesson will be more painful and will take longer to work out since catalyst will be greater for the same experience, so the one who walks away from a mated situation is buying time but not changing the catalyst that he or she is bound to have, and to those who have divorced or have been divorced, we say that there is no “sin,” in moving away from a situation, for it buys trouble, yet with the wisdom of survival you have chosen to heal so that you may throw yourself once more into your catalyst with a new zeal, so if you have been left, and you have found yourself acting in negative ways to your mate or to yourself, we urge you to take hold of your will and your powers of Love, for if you have not been tested again, you shall be, and you will feel betrayal, so next time offer your Love back to the situation. Q’uo went on to say to those of you who must leave or have left a committed relationship or marriage, do not weep for your past, but gird your loins, for your next impulse will give just as much catalyst as the one which gave the catalyst in the first place, so this time infuse your actions with a Love that realizes compassion and the reason for relationships, so forgive yourself and any who seem to have hurt you, remembering that you have faulty perceptions if you do not see Love in every situation, for you have the power to create daughters and sons of your heart by what you say and how open your heart and hands are, so we ask you to create Love, and Love one another, and always do what you must with no excuses and no need for self-criticism, so turn your face forward and use what you have learned, for third density is a gift where every tear and every ache of the heart is precious, so we hope you can give thanksgiving in the hard times and find joy in tears, for there is sadness in any joy within the illusion, and should there also be joy in any sadness? On June 6, 1982, Latwii spoke of the value of learning to Love one another:

The lessons of your density are the lessons of Love. When enough of your people learn to Love one another, then the entire creation sings and resounds with that harmony, and each atom rejoices and seeks to join more fully with each part of creation. Therefore, by whatever means is available to the entity; each entity might therefore send the Love and Light to the one creation in which your planet resides, to your planet itself, to each entity upon its surface, indeed into the self, and thereby assure the unification of all that is.

We would transfer at this time, having greatly enjoyed talking with you. We are sorry not to have been more helpful, but, you see, we do not speak of right or wrong—we speak of Love. And I am afraid that questions of mated relationships in your culture do not usually revolve about the Love of which we speak which is not defined by red ray or any ray, but by that which comes through one and is more than one could ever be. For Love has the power of infinity, and you who attempt to generate are generating a very finite version which will, as your red ray itself will do, die away.

We leave this instrument in love and light, and transfer at this time. I am Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet each of you again in Love and Light through this instrument. We are happy at this time to open our meeting with you to any further queries which those present may have upon the mind. May we attempt to answer any such query at this time?

Carla: Well, one of the marriages that I heard about today that may be breaking up, there isn’t another person, there’s just a strong difference between the way two people have grown to be that wasn’t there when they got married. I realize that in general, the thing is to stay together—I got that all right—but at what point does mental or physical abuse become intolerable? You know, if somebody were reading this, trying to make a decision, there really wouldn’t be anything in there. I guess that’s the way you designed it—there wouldn’t be anything in there to make you decide, you’d just more or less get the lay of the land, is that right? You designed it so that people wouldn’t use it as a basis for action, but just for thought? I mean you designed the talk that way—is that right?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. We have spoken as we have spoken this evening with the hope that we may, indeed, provide the food for thought, as you have called it, which will hopefully provide an opportunity for many who are considering the severing of a relationship more carefully, for it is within your culture at this time quite an easy and common matter to break a relationship and the commitments made as its foundation, and then to move oneself into another situation that one hopes will again meet the imagined requirements set by the self for the perfect situation, shall we say. We, in speaking as we have spoken, hoped to provide a more basic point of view concerning the nature of relationships, their purpose, and means of fulfilling this purpose. If an entity can realize that the point of view that it holds may be somewhat narrow in the overall view of an incarnation or a series of incarnations, then the expanding of that point of view may allow for the more fully realized potential of an incarnation or a relationship to manifest within the life pattern.

In our speaking we have not overtly presented our own bias but have attempted to describe the nature of the process of your third-density illusion. In describing the nature of your illusion, it must be obvious to the perceptive student that to remain with a relationship that one has undertaken with the commitment that the relationship will endure is the most efficient means of pursuing those lessons and services that are the reason for the incarnation. Entities may feel that there are reasons enough to end a relationship, that it is appropriate to do so. Again. we may only suggest that this conclusion is the result of a point of…

Carla asked: “Well, one of the marriages that I heard about today that may be breaking up, there isn’t another person, there’s just a strong difference between the way two people have grown to be that wasn’t there when they got married. I realize that in general, the thing is to stay together—I got that all right—but at what point does mental or physical abuse become intolerable?

Q’uo replied we have spoken this evening with the hope that we may provide food for thought which will provide an opportunity for many who are considering the severing of a relationship more carefully, for it is within your culture a common matter to break a relationship and the commitments made as its foundation, and then to move oneself into another situation that one hopes will meet the requirements set by the self for the perfect situation, so we hoped to provide a basic point of view concerning the nature of relationships, their purpose, and means of fulfilling this purpose, for if an entity can realize that the point of view that it holds may be narrow in the overall view of a series of incarnations, then the expanding of that point of view may allow for the more fully realized potential of an incarnation or a relationship to manifest within the life pattern.

Entities may feel that there are reasons enough to end a relationship, that it is appropriate to do so. On August 6, 1989, Laitos spoke of the nature of relationships:

As we gaze upon your mated relationship in your culture, we find that there is a great need for understanding of the true nature of relationships that is lacking among your people. To become mated is to become one—one flesh, one line, and one spirit. If one is not able to commit one’s respect and admiration, either physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, then the relationship is hampered from the beginning by the lack of the other’s good opinion.

The true nature of the married relationship—or the mated relationship as we prefer to call it, marriage having confusing connotations—is that each may help the other upon the spiritual path that they are traveling through the seeming time span of their short lives. That is what each of you does. You walk one step at a time down a road whose end you cannot and will not ever see. And to have a comrade at your side to share the dust of the road with, to share the enjoyment of nourishment and water when the oasis is found, simply to go through the same experiences and catalysts together, is a very, very great service from each to each, for each has much to teach and much to learn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and am again with this instrument. To continue our response. The point of view which has produced this conclusion is perhaps that point of view which has yet to avail itself of the wider scope of the potential for an incarnation. Perhaps the entity in reaching this point of view has found the more difficult point in the relationship in regards to its fulfillment and in the fatigue encountered, whether it be mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual, and has found the possibility of ending the relationship the most appealing avenue of action. This is a natural conclusion, my friends, for the fatigue that comes at any of these levels of experience is a very real thing, and within your limited third-density experience with its great potential for limiting the point of view it may seem to many a seeker of truth that such an alternative is obvious, appropriate, and acceptable, when, indeed, it might be that if a slight alteration in perception could be achieved, another possibility for the relationship’s continuance might present itself to the seeker who could invest yet one more effort in this direction. The pearls of wisdom and Love within your illusion are not cheaply or easily won, else there would be little value in that which those of third density seek throughout all incarnations.

To find the Love of the Creator in any moment within your illusion is a challenge, my friends, for there is much that hides it, and to find it in those situations in which there seems to be great difficulty, trauma, stress, pain, and suffering requires the dedication of one who looks beyond the moment of suffering and sees that which no outer eye may perceive—the Love of the One that dwells in all, and the dedication of the seeker to find that Love in each of its moments of all incarnations.

Now Q’uo said the point of view which has produced this conclusion is that point of view which has yet to avail itself of the wider scope of the potential for an incarnation, so the entity in reaching this point of view has found the difficult point in the relationship regarding its fulfillment, and in the fatigue encountered, whether it be mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual has found the possibility of ending the relationship the most appealing avenue of action, and this is a natural conclusion, for the fatigue that comes at any of these levels of experience is a real thing, so within your limited third-density experience, with its great potential for limiting the point of view, it may seem to a seeker of truth that such an alternative is obvious and acceptable, when it might be that if a slight alteration in perception could be achieved, another possibility for the relationship’s continuance might present itself to the seeker who could invest one more effort in this direction, but the pearls of wisdom and Love within your illusion are not easily won, or there would be little value in that which those of third density seek throughout all incarnations. Q’uo went on to say to find the Love of the Creator in any moment within your illusion is a challenge, for there is much that hides it, and to find it in those situations in which there seems to be great difficulty and suffering requires the dedication of one who looks beyond the moment of suffering and sees that which no outer eye may perceive: the Love of the One that dwells in all, and the dedication of the seeker to find that Love in each of its moments of all incarnations. On February 24, 2024, Q’uo said that Love of the One is the message that we bring:

That all adversity, all battle or war, all seeming division can be unified by the power of the Love of the One Infinite Creator that flows through each heart in this planetary sphere if each heart is aware that this is possible and asked for such to occur. This is something that must be desired. It must become part of the spiritual path. It must be that which is reflected in each action of each being at all times if possible.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: How is the instrument holding up?

I am Q’uo, and we find that this instrument is in a relatively comfortable physical and mental state.

May we answer any further question at this time?

Carla: I’ll beg off, and let H have a turn if there’s still time.

H: Okay, concerning divorce, is it better if say they could work out a friendly divorce—it seems like that’s a common phrase these days—where after the divorce they don’t hate each other, that they just simply agree that they can’t live with each other, and so they get a friendly divorce. This is definitely better than going through a court ritual and battling it out and all that to where the person is brought down to nothing almost. Is that not correct?

I am Q’uo, and we might suggest my brother, that not only is that assumption basically correct, but any action that is able to produce Love and acceptance of another is an action more to be desired than one which produces less of that quality of Love.

May we answer further, my brother?

H: Well, that satisfies that question, but what about when there’s children involved in divorce? There’s an old adage that the mom always got the kids. Is that the best normally, that the mother raises the kids?

I am Q’uo. We find that this questions lies within the somewhat narrow point of view of what is possible within your culture. Your culture has decided, or so it would seem, many things for you concerning how the life is lived and with whom. Within your culture there is the division between the male and female of your species of many of the behaviors which in truth may be shared if the system of belief allows such choices. Thus, to answer your query in a specific fashion, when in truth the generality fails to meet the needs of a specific response, is to be somewhat misleading.

We would respond by suggesting that we are not aware of a general response which would suffice in this case, for the male or female entity within a relationship may, because of its individuality and not because of its sexuality, be more able to carry out the nurturing function necessary for the raising of the small child. We apologize for our inability to give a more concrete response.

May we attempt another query, my brother?

H: Well, something totally different now. When we talk about past incarnations and stuff like that, is there any catalyst that, any practice that we could exercise to where we could experience past incarnations, or where I myself could?

I am Q’uo, and though we are aware of some practices, those of regressive hypnosis, the guided meditation, and the utilization of the dream state that have the potential of allowing an entity to move backwards, shall we say, and to experience some portion of a previous incarnational experience, it is not our recommendation that such is an important portion of either learning those lessons designed before the incarnation or providing those services also designed before the incarnation.

The higher self, as you call it, has gone to some lengths, shall we say, to aid your beingness in placing yourself within your current incarnation with the forgetting of previous incarnations firmly in place in order that your current incarnation might be a finer and more purely made effort at achieving certain biases of thinking or expansions of the point of view which will enable the experience of love to move more freely through your being. It is recommended that entities within the third density look primarily to the current experience of the daily round of activities to indicate those areas where work yet remains and opportunity presents itself for growth and service.

To become overly concerned with those activities and patterns of previous incarnations is in most cases a turning of the attention from that which is important and potentially useful in the life pattern to that which contains far less potential in aiding an entity in its chosen pattern of experience. The removing of the attention in such a fashion tends to blur, shall we say, the possibilities of the present moment of any incarnation.

May we answer further, my brother?

H: I don’t know as there’s any more questions on that. But what about the term we use as “unconditional Love”? Is that the true Love that we’re supposed to have for everybody? When I look at my work mates, is that the intense level of Love we’re supposed to have for everybody we meet? And if it is, how do we go about that without people thinking that you’re weird or something?

I am Q’uo, and this term, unconditional Love, is a phrase, shall we say, which has been developed within your culture or a portion of it which describes a facet of the Love which is the Christ consciousness, shall we say. If one is able to Love without condition all entities and experiences which come before the notice, one is expressing the kind of acceptance upon the deepest of inner levels that is a—we search this instrument’s mind for the proper term—hallmark of the Love of the Creator which animates all creation, for the ability to Love without condition or desire of return is the beginning of the Creator within the self to recognize itself within all other portions of the creation. For an entity of the third density to experience this kind of expression of Love requires that the entity move in harmony with those choices which it has made prior to the incarnation that were made with the wider point of view easily accessible to the entity.

This is another means of stating that each within the third density illusion has programmed for the self a program of study which, when completed to a sufficient level, will allow that entity to experience this condition of Love that has no boundaries and seeks no return. Thus, to work with those experiences which one finds in the daily round of experience and to attempt to find Love in each moment is the means by which such Love may be found. Each has the program most appropriate for the self, and, as that Love is found, one need not worry as to how it might be expressed, for it shall find its own level and means of expression that will be as natural and appropriate for the entity as is drawing one breath after another.

H asked: “But what about the term we use as “unconditional Love”? Is that the true Love that we’re supposed to have for everybody? When I look at my work mates, is that the intense level of Love we’re supposed to have for everybody we meet? And if it is, how do we go about that without people thinking that you’re weird or something?” Then Q’uo said unconditional Love is a phrase which has been developed within a portion of your culture which describes a facet of the Love which is the Christ consciousness, for if one is able to Love without condition all entities and experiences, one is expressing the kind of acceptance upon the deepest of inner levels that is a hallmark of the Love of the Creator which animates all creation, for the ability to Love without condition is the beginning of the Creator within the self to recognize Itself within all other portions of the creation, for an entity of third density to experience this kind of expression of Love requires that the entity move in harmony with those choices which it has made prior to the incarnation that were made with the wider point of view easily accessible. Now Q’uo said this is another means of stating that each within the third density illusion has programmed a program of study which will allow that entity to experience Love that has no boundaries and seeks no return, for to work with those experiences which one finds in the daily round of experience, and to attempt to find Love in each moment, is the means by which Love may be found, yet each has the program most appropriate for the self, and, as Love is found, one need not worry as to how it might be expressed, for it shall find its own level and means of expression that will be appropriate, for the entity as is drawing one breath after another. On September 22, 2009, Q’uo spoke about the Love in each moment:

However, it is possible to desire the things of Earth which can be spoken of and listed in number. It is also possible to desire those things which are of the heaven-world, shall we say, such as desiring to do the will of the one infinite Creator, desiring to see the Love in each moment, desiring to see the Creator in the eyes of all whom you meet, and desiring to dedicate your life to service in the Love and the Light of the one Creator. The desiring of these things and the visualization of them is likewise powerful, yet it attracts to you not this or that; rather, it attracts to you that resonance within which you may associate with the one infinite Creator.

Carla: So, you’re saying that Love is not an emotion, but a consciousness. How we express it has to do with our emotional make-up and how we like the person that we’re looking at. But whether we feel it or not has to do with a consciousness—unconditional Love, I mean. Excuse me for butting in, but that’s an important point to me.

I am Q’uo, and you are quite correct, my sister, and we appreciate your thoughtful and perceptive interruption, for it has concisely stated that which we were laying the groundwork for and which was not as concisely stated. We thank you, and ask if there might be a further query upon this topic from either entity present?

Carla: Not from me.

H: No questions here.

I am Q’uo. We would ask if there might be any further queries upon any topic whatsoever that we might address before leaving this meeting?

H: Is there any way that we could practice or meditate and see the different colors? I had an experience one time several years ago where I saw a bunch of blues and purples just coming, like being stirred up in a way, very beautiful to behold in your mind. I was just wondering if there was anything that you could do that would cause that to happen again?

I am Q’uo, and, my brother, we might suggest that as the student completes a certain portion of its course of study, there is usually the recognition of moving from one level to another, one grade to another, a graduation of a kind occurs. There is at that time an experience that is reserved for that time and that time alone. We might suggest that those experiences which you have described that manifested themselves to your physical sight as the experience of various colors are likened unto your completion of a set of lessons, and to attempt to experience this graduation again, shall we say, without having completed the necessary course requirements is to seek the reward before the effort has been made to achieve the goal. The experiences which you describe are not random, they have occurred as a portion of a planned course of your own experiencing and processing of catalyst and will repeat themselves when the conditions are appropriate.

May we answer further, my brother?

H: No more questions tonight. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank each present for allowing us to speak our humble words this evening. We have greatly enjoyed this opportunity and feel that the unity of seeking demonstrated by this group this evening was that which is to be commended, for as each within any relationship joins the efforts with the other selves within the relationship in a unified fashion, the efforts are multiplied one upon the other until that which is sought is more surely found. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and at this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group with our gratitude that we have been able to join this group this evening and we, as always, leave each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai borragus.

This morning I drove to Bowman Field and renewed my Real ID driver’s license for eight years. On the way home I dropped off two prescriptions at Walgreen’s Drug Store. Then I bought two more bags of Red Cedar Mulch at Thieneman’s Nursery.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “The only effective and potent weapon against the powers that would destroy the world both physically and mentally is the Silence  which comes with the conviction that there is a Something that created  this universe and is responsible for maintaining it unto eternity—it is the ability to relax in Silence and let that Something perform Its function.

In that Silence we find Allness. In that quietness and confidence, we find our strength and peace. That is our Sabbath, the complete and perfect universe of the first chapter of Genesis in which we rest from all power, living by the I-say-unto-you way of the Sermon on the Mount. Then we become like “unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock; and the rain descended; and the floods came; and the winds blew; and beat upon the house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.”

As we meet with problems of every nature—conflicts, enemies, hatred, persecution, injustice—we no longer try to reach out to remove them either physically or mentally, but we rest in God’s word. We rest from all power, and God works the miracle.

Rumblings of the thunder of the deep Silence of My peace reverberate and increase in power until eventually they break every barrier. The mighty noise of the Silence grows in volume until its thunder rends asunder the veils of illusion, and God stands reveled in all majesty, glory, and peace.”

This is the end of the book, The Thunder of Silence, by Joel Goldsmith. Tomorrow I will begin sharing quotes from his book The Infinite Way.

This afternoon I went outside and used part one of the bags of Red Cedar mulch to expand the area of the Lenten Rose Garden with more mulch. Then I used the remainder of the bag to fill in some gaps in the mulch in the Astilbe Garden. Then I used the second bag of Red Cedar Mulch to mulch the Morning Glory Garden in the center of the cross in the back yard. Then I used Whip Lash to weed the perimeter of the Astilbe Garden.

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

June 16

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 Q’uo channeling for this session comes from November 9, 1986:

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We greet each of you, and welcome especially the one known as D and the one known as B. Blessings to you and may you drink deep at the fountain of Light that lies within the circle of consciousness at this time of meeting. We ask, as always, that any opinion which we offer to you be considered as opinion rather than fact, for we make errors and would not wish to teach were we to feel that each student did not have the power to take or to discard each and every thought, each and every concept that is discussed. Those things which we say are the best we have to offer through a particular channel at a particular moment, and we would not deceive you, thus we speak as truly as possible within the limits of spoken language. Yet each word has many meanings, and each concept can be heard with many ears, many attitudes, and many predispositions. Those things which do not seen appropriate for your growth at this time must needs be left behind without a backward glance. The answers lie within you, not within us.

We are those who would inspire each of you to seek, to ask your questions with more and more care and Love for the search itself, for your answers, as all answers, shall turn out to be illusion and with each revelation and transformation you shall discover that you have pushed back the frontier of mystery, only to find that same mystery beckoning from the new frontier. There is no information so complete and so satisfying that it constitutes the ultimate answer, for if it can be said, it is not the truth and he who says it has pride, not understanding. We ask you plainly to beware of answers and to focus upon questions, for as you seek and seek again, so shall the doors of your own consciousness open to you, and you shall carry understanding deep within your heart, not to communicate except clumsily and incompletely, but only to manifest in your smile, your laughter, and the Light of joy which you share with those about you.

There are civilizations in the creation who have become far more one with the concept of simplicity during the experience which you call third density. This civilization which you enjoy is far from simple, and because of the great expectations which you have forged by observing the many mechanical marvels available to you, you come to assume that a spiritual body of knowledge will be complex, articulate and serial, much like a detailed and philosophical list of directions for putting together an enlightenment kit. And yet, my friends, although there are many enlightenment kits available to you, the instruction booklets need to be viewed with affection and misgiving, affection for the infinite desire of those upon the path of service to others to share in whatever fashion they may those things which have been helpful to them with others, and wariness and even dismay because there is not an intellectually acceptable set of instructions for studying, building, putting together or constructing enlightenment.

In this session Q’uo spoke of the concepts of dealing with mysteries on our spiritual journey. Q’uo began by saying we are those who would inspire each of you to seek, to ask your questions with more and more care and Love for the search itself, for your answers shall turn out to be illusion, and with each transformation you shall discover that you have pushed back the frontier of mystery, only to find that same mystery beckoning from the new frontier, and there is no information so complete that it constitutes the ultimate answer, for if it can be said, it is not the truth, so we ask you to beware of answers and to focus upon questions, for as you seek, so shall the doors of your consciousness open to you, and you shall carry understanding deep within your heart, not to communicate except incompletely, but only to manifest in your laughter and the Light of joy which you share with those about you. Q’uo went on to say there are civilizations in the creation who have become more one with the concept of simplicity during the experience which you call third density, but this civilization which you enjoy is far from simple, and because of the expectations which you have forged by observing the many mechanical marvels available to you, you come to assume that a spiritual body of knowledge will be complex like a philosophical list of directions for putting together an enlightenment kit, and although there are enlightenment kits available to you, the instruction booklets need to be viewed with affection for the desire of those upon the path of service to others to share in whatever fashion they may those things which have been helpful to them, and viewed with dismay because there is not an intellectually acceptable set of instructions for constructing enlightenment. On May 17, 1987, Q’uo described the nature of enlightenment:

I am Q’uo, and though we find that it would be incorrect to describe this process as merely an electrical process, it is a process that contains the qualities of the movement of energy in a fashion which is similar to the movement of electricity through various circuits. The south or magnetic pole of the seeker at the base of the spine and soles of the feet draws into the auric field of the seeker the catalyst or unprocessed experience which the seeker shall work upon according to its unique configuration of energy center blockages and clear circuit pathways. Thus, each seeker will perceive the daily round of activities in a manner which is congruent with this configuration of energy centers and will find its focus of attention drawn to the level or frequency of vibration that is appropriate for its current learning.

As succeeding energy centers or circuit areas within the energy centers of the seeker are opened and balanced to a minimal degree through a great portion of time and experience, the prana or Love of the Creator will move further and further up the, as you have called it, path of the kundalini until there is the mating with the guiding Light or Polaris of the self, where the seeker is already at one with the creation, so that an experience of conscious unity with the creation becomes available to the seeker. This completing of the circuit of the series of energy centers has been described by many of your people using various terminology, the enlightenment, the contact with intelligent infinity, the nirvana, as some call it.

Thus, the seeker may be seen as a configuration of circuits or series of lessons and balances to achieve, with each day offering further opportunity to move the flow of Love further along the inner pathways that will eventually culminate in the bringing into harmonic resonance each portion of the seeker’s being.

What you are after is a kind of simplicity that is not in fashion, a simplicity that is not dogma, doctrine, or in any way complex. We are messengers of a simple and simplistic truth, a truth that cannot be put into words, a truth that each of those to whom we speak is already aware of. We would seem to be talking ourselves into a corner. What do we have to talk about, if we do not have an understanding to give you that is complex and thereby rendered learnable? We are here to give you in words and by the essence of our vibrations more of a feeling for the immediacy and the value of this trip that you have taken in your heart, that you are on now, and that you wish to continue to be on until you dwell in eternity in the presence of the Creator. To put that another way, and more simply, each of you falls headlong into a blazing white Light, the white Light of an infinite Creator whose very nature is Love. You are falling unbelievably quickly, and you shall fuse and become one in your perception as you already are in reality with Love itself. This is your destiny. And yet speed is such a relative thing. None of you knows how quickly spiritual gravity pulls you toward that great center, that great unity. Each of you feels you cannot possibly be moving quickly enough, and you need to know more. And so ,you draw yourself along. Yet in reality, you could not hold yourself back if you tried.

We come with a simple awareness. We come to be with you, for although each seeks only by necessity, for no one can seek for another, yet how much it aids each to meet together and form a circle of Light, to consider, however imperfectly or incompletely, the Creator of all that there is. We have spoken to few groups. However, the experiences that we have had with these upon the surface of this planet indicate that many are more than willing to be tempted by elegant reasoning, seeking in philosophy the objective security that forms the illusion of the scientific method of information gathering. We urge that all consideration be given to the value of silence, of the focused mind. Lift your spirits, therefore, from the physical body which enables you to gather experience and share Love within your incarnation, lift and shake the heart and heart free of the dust of dailyness and move with the solar wind, as this instrument would call it, until you are far, far from town, or country, or planet, until you, indeed, leave the solar system behind, voyage far, voyage until you do feel that you are, indeed, falling, and gaze at the white Light towards which you fall. Glory is yours now if you can but release the demand to know, to understand, and to judge, and replace the desire to catalog with the desire to feel with head and heart in unison the Light and the Love that does not speak in words.

Q’uo went on to say what you are after is a kind of simplicity that is not dogma or in any way complex, for we are messengers of a truth that cannot be put into words, a truth that each of those to whom we speak is already aware of, so we are here to give you in words and by the essence of our vibrations more of a feeling for the value of this trip that you have taken in your heart, and that you wish to continue to be on until you dwell in eternity in the presence of the Creator, so to put that another way, each of you falls into a blazing white Light of an infinite Creator whose nature is Love, and you are falling quickly, and you shall fuse and become one in your perception as you already are in reality one with Love itself, for this is your destiny, but you don’t know how quickly spiritual gravity pulls you toward that great center of unity, yet each of you feels you cannot be moving quickly enough, and you need to know more, so you draw yourself along, but you could not hold yourself back if you tried. Now Q’uo said we come to be with you, for it aids each to meet together and form a circle of Light, to consider the Creator of all that there is, and we have spoken to few groups, but the experiences that we have had with these upon the surface of this planet indicate that many are more than willing to be tempted by seeking in philosophy the objective security that forms the illusion of the scientific method of information gathering, but we urge that all consideration be given to the value of silence, so lift your spirits from the physical body which enables you to gather experience and share Love within your incarnation, and move with the solar wind until you are far from town, country, or planet, until you leave the solar system behind you, and you feel that you are falling, so gaze at the white Light towards which you fall, for glory is yours if you can release the demand to know and to judge, and replace them with the desire to feel with head and heart in unison the Light and the Love that does not speak in words. On February 4, 2002, Q’uo spoke of the value of silence:

Thusly, we point you always to the value of silence and the opening of the self within that silence to the infinite unknown and to the goodness and beauty of that which is not yet known. Allow the mysterious to empower your imagination. Allow those infinite qualities that do not seem to be a part of communication to enter into your willingness and that shall open up your ability to move through difficult material in such a way as to empower each, yourself, and other self in ways that move beyond linear truth. For the greater truth is always unity, harmony, and consolidation of disparate things into beautiful and useful patterns. There is a beautiful and useful pattern in between each and every soul with whom you shall come in contact in this life. There is always a full possibility of resolution, peace, and moving forward, no matter how infinitely impossible the two points of disagreement may seem to be.

We wish that you would stoke the fire of your desire to know the Creator by allowing knowledge to come into all of your being, for there is no cleverness in knowledge of the creation or Love of the Creator. There is no right answer; there is no argumentation. If you have a longing, a yearning for the presence of the Creator, and if you allow that longing to persist and to grow, if you encourage that desire, the study and meditation, mind and heart both exercised, then shall that longing deliver you into the very presence you seek. Expect it, look for it, and when the moment comes that you feel that you have been given something you cannot describe or name, rejoice and let that go too.

Now Q’uo said we wish that you would stoke the fire of your desire to know the Creator by allowing knowledge to come into all of your being, for there is no cleverness in knowledge of the creation or Love of the Creator, and there is no right answer or argumentation, but if you have a longing for the presence of the Creator, and if you allow that longing to grow, and if you  use meditation with your mind and heart both exercised, then shall that longing deliver you into the presence you seek, so look for it, and when the moment comes that you feel that you have been given something you cannot describe or name, rejoice and let that go too. On July 21, 1991, Q’uo described how we may know the Creator:

We know the Creator partially in our essence and to a great extent in the essences of the I AMs that we perceive as other than ourselves due to our continuing distortions of understanding. How can you know the Creator? Precisely that way, my children. Learn yourself, Love yourself, for you are Love. What other appropriate response is there to Love but Love? As circumstances befall you, see them as Love, for all things are the I AM, that one great idea, Love. It may be very distorted, the branches may have gotten twisted, seared, burned, ruined. Then you must look to the roots, for I AM is the root system. You have a good deal to do with the branches, but gaze at your roots.

Others will look at the fruits of your incarnational experience and say that you were such and such a person, but the I AM gazes at the I AM in you, and is one with it, and fullness of Love is added to fullness of Love in a mystery that has no answer that is known to us.

There are questions in the group this evening. We encourage them and invite then. We cannot use this instrument for the questions and answers.

[Pause]

I am Q’uo. We apologize for the pause. This instrument began to analyze our information, and we were unable to send more concepts through this instrument. May we say to the one known as Carla that we are, indeed, sorry that we cannot channel through her, however, we did not intend to cause her to break off her own meditation. Our apologies. We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We are most grateful for the desire, the longing, and the seeking that you share with us. Blending our vibrations with yours is a benediction to us, and we would only wish to be of as much service as possible to you. We leave this instrument. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you once again in Love and Light through this instrument. We are pleased that we have been able to make our contact available once again through this instrument, and it is our hope at this time that we might be able to attempt to respond to any queries which those present might find value in the asking. Again, we remind each that our responses are our opinions and the fruit of our own seeking, which we would hope that each would weigh with the inner discrimination that speaks to the heart, taking that which rings of truth and leaving that which does not. At this time may we ask if there might be a question to which we could respond?

D: I have been in contacts associated with two other channeled entities, you being the third, each of whom has a vastly different perspective and approach to teaching and communicating. I wonder if you could clarify those differences, those various perspectives, those… why an entity seems to be, for instance, to emphasize information as opposed to another entity which might emphasize energy or intuition? This seems counter to my expectation that entities operating on planes above our own would have the facility to tailor their responses and their teaching more to the individual who seeks rather than to have so strong a predisposition on their own.

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that there are a number of concepts within this query which are relevant. Each entity which seeks does so in an unique manner, from a point of view that is similar to many but unique unto itself, and calls for information that will be helpful in continuing to expand its scope of experience and understanding. There are many, many ways by which a call may be answered. The vocal channeling is one of many potential responses to any seeker’s request for aid. Within this phenomenon a great variety of sources and resources are found which may choose to be of service in providing information or inspiration or any kind of guidance which may answer a seeker’s call.

Many upon your planet who seek in a conscious fashion the nature of their reality and their being assume that that which is yet unknown is also homogeneous, whereas it has been our experience that the portion of the creation which lies beyond the reach of your senses and your understanding is as varied and rich as that which you experience within your illusion, within your portion of the creation. Those who would seek to move in service to seekers upon your planetary sphere, and who are seen by those within your illusion as being beyond or external to your illusion, are as unique as each on your planet and each offers itself as it is in full in the attempt to be of service. To be of the most service possible, we have found it is necessary to be what one has discovered in the way of uncovering mystery and moving along the path of unity with all that is. As one then offers the fruits of one’s own journey, one offers that which is unique and colored by experience. Each portion of the Creator, which each source and seeker is, moves likened unto a planetary body about a great central sun or truth. The sun shines equally upon each, yet each from a unique point of view sees that sun and is warmed by it according to the position from which one orbits and views that sun. Thus do we and all others who offer themselves in the service of the vocal channeling offer that which is ours to offer, that is, the fruit of our experience, that those who seek information or inspiration might consider that which is offered for its potential use in furthering the journey of seeking for the self and in sharing that journey with yet others who may benefit from such sharing.

D asked: “I have been in contacts associated with two other channeled entities, you being the third, each of whom has a vastly different perspective and approach to teaching and communicating. I wonder if you could clarify those differences, those various perspectives, those… why an entity seems to be, for instance, to emphasize information as opposed to another entity which might emphasize energy or intuition?” Q’uo began by saying we find that there are a number of concepts within this query which are relevant, so each entity which seeks does so in an unique manner and calls for information that will be helpful in continuing to expand its scope of experience, for there are many ways by which a call may be answered, and the vocal channeling is one of many potential responses to any seeker’s request for aid, so within this phenomenon a variety of resources are found which may choose to be of service in providing information or guidance which may answer a seeker’s call. Then Q’uo said many upon your planet who seek the nature of their reality in a conscious fashion assume that which is unknown is also homogeneous, whereas it has been our experience that the portion of the creation which lies beyond the reach of your senses is as varied as that which you experience within your portion of the creation, so those who seek to move in service to seekers upon your planetary sphere, and who are seen by those within your illusion as being external to your illusion, are as unique as each on your planet, and each offers itself as it is in full in the attempt to be of service, yet to be of the most service, we have found it is necessary to be what one has discovered in the way of uncovering mystery and moving along the path of unity with all that is, for as one offers the fruits of one’s journey, one offers that which is unique, so each portion of the Creator, which each seeker is, moves like a planetary body about a great Central Sun,  and the Sun shines equally upon each, yet each from a unique point of view sees that Sun and is warmed by it according to the position from which one orbits and views that Sun, so we, and all others who offer themselves in the service of the vocal channeling, offer the fruit of our experience that those who seek inspiration might consider that which is offered for its potential use in furthering the journey of seeking for the self and in sharing that journey with others who may benefit from such sharing. In Session 41.1, Ra described the nature of the great Central Sun:

Conversely, the blackness of the black hole, metaphysically speaking, is a concentration of white Light being systematically absorbed once again into the One Creator. Finally, this absorption into the One Creator continues until all the infinity of creations have attained sufficient spiritual mass in order that all form, once again, the Great Central Sun, if you would so imagine it, of the intelligent infinity awaiting potentiation by Free Will. Thus, the transition of the octave is a process which may be seen to enter into timelessness of unimaginable nature. To attempt to measure it by your time measures would be useless.

Therefore, the concept of moving through the black hole of the ultimate spiritual gravity well and coming immediately into the next octave misses the sub-concept, or corollary, of the portion of this process which is timeless.

May we answer in any further way, my brother?

D: I think my difficulty with the question stems in part from an assumption that those entities such as yourself and others in my experience who seek to serve in this way by virtue of their position at their level, so to speak, have attained a level of being—they include so much more than our minds can know while we are here—that from our perspective there should appear to be more uniformity than there is. I don’t think I’ve worded that very well.

I am Q’uo, and we feel that we grasp the sense of your query and will respond in a manner which we hope will be of service. Please query further if we do not speak to the heart of your concern. As we mentioned in our previous response, the experience which lies seemingly beyond that which is common among your people and toward which each seeker moves is an experience that, though it continues to move closer into the harmonious understanding of all that is, yet moves further into the mystery that undergirds all manifestation that is seen and experienced as creation. Though one may know certain things about creation and one’s own being and movement through the creation, yet such knowing continues to discover more of the infinite mystery that lies at the heart of all creation and seeking.

We who have had the privilege of moving a short distance further upon this journey than have those of your people begin to grasp more of this mystery, yet we also understand that there is much which awaits our understanding. Thus, those who are what you may call “in advance” of the level of seeking of your people yet seek with the same diversity the one mystery which draws all unto it. Though all experience more…

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet you again through this instrument. We shall continue.

Those who are in advance of your own level of seeking, shall we say, have yet the configuration of identity which perceives similar truths in various fashions, all seeking to refine the understanding, until all not only understand but become that which is sought. There will be variation for a great portion of your experience beyond that which you now experience. The journey of evolution, my brother, is one which extends far beyond your own illusion and contains that which is rich and varied enough to allow for an infinite variety of points of view, all pointed toward the same truths, but seen from different perspectives and shared in that fashion.

May we answer further, my brother?

D: Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?

Carla: Thank you for explaining as much as you did, because I was wondering, having heard many a closely reasoned argument from you myself about the emphasis on mystery, but I think I grasp what you’re driving at. Thank you.

I am Q’uo. We appreciate the opportunity to speak in any fashion which is requested, and we would ask if there might be any final queries to which we may respond before taking our leave of this group?

D: I don’t really have a question—I’ve just kind of been wrestling quite a bit lately with the concept of self-love, attempting to understand a little more how to accept myself and how to love myself more, and I guess I don’t really have a question, but do you have any comments that might provide any sort of illumination on that subject? Anything would be appreciated.

I am Q’uo, and, my brother, we can suggest that as one considers the daily experience and all who move through it, that one is seeing various aspects of the self when one notices and responds to any particular person, trait, word, deed, or activity, for the manner by which one perceives the environment about one is congruent with the manner by which one perceives the self, and we have found that the opposite is also true—that as one perceives the self in a certain manner the environment about one is reflected in an equal fashion so that there is really nothing but the self, be it small or great, which comes before one’s attention and upon which one may work.

As you are able to find qualities and experiences within the self and within the environment which you are able to accept more and more freely, then you are accepting further portions of the self and may then use that acceptance to find other portions of the self and the greater Self about one which then move into the focus of attention for the work in consciousness which will allow further acceptance of the self within the self and within all other selves.

May we speak in any further fashion, my brother?

D: No thank you. That’s fine.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

D: Yes, if I can take a minute to formulate it. If thoughts are real and exist on a level of which we are relatively unaware, I would presume that you would be much more fully aware of that level on which our thoughts exist as things. If that presumption is correct, I’m curious to know in general with entities who teach such as you do, if there often is a clearer perception of our questions—such as I’m trying to form now—than I’m able to put into words. To what extent are our thoughts apparent to you though our words in communicating those thoughts are sometimes less than adequate?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. In attempting to respond to those queries which are asked of us, we attempt to utilize the query itself and any appended emotions or unspoken considerations when it is possible to do so without infringing upon an entity’s free will. This is to say that if we were able to read more precisely than one has been able to formulate within one’s conscious mind that which was sought, there would be the risk of accomplishing work for an entity which the entity would better benefit in accomplishing for the self.

There is a very fine line, shall we say, between offering information which has been prepared for in the understanding of an entity by its own efforts and in giving information which lacks the preparation by the entity and which would remove from the entity the opportunity to gain what we might call a spiritual strength in fashioning for itself the foundation of understanding upon which we shall offer certain refinements that lie within the realm of what has been prepared by the entity requesting information.

May we answer further, my brother?

D: The protocols of this sort of communication and the assumptions that we can make about it concerned me and that answer was very much to the point. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you again, my brother. Is there another query?

D: Are personal questions appropriate at this time?

I am Q’uo, and though we are not, shall we say, specialists in answering queries of a personal nature, we are happy to attempt such responses as long as our responses again do not risk the infringement upon an entity’s free will by providing information which would affect its future choices, shall we say.

D: Well, with that in mind, I’ll ask a question, seeking some help in making future choices. I have been working and accepting all the teaching I could in the area of channeling [inaudible] and simply wonder if—I seem to be running into blocks that I keep butting my head into. I wonder if there might be any insight that you could give that would be productive or helpful to me without taking away the lessons that I’m obviously in need of learning.

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. We might suggest that when one discovers within the life pattern that which appears as a blockage and which repeats itself, that one might embrace such seeming blockage as an obvious opportunity to avail the self of a certain lesson, a lesson which might yet lie beyond the grasp of understanding and present itself in a manner which might seem to disturb or to be disharmoniously experienced, even confusing and contradictory. Such repeated patterns may provide to the diligent student a kind of riddle which when moved about within the mind and seen from various perspectives begins to unfold itself when one has been able to work with the pattern in a fashion which at once cherishes the seeming difficulty and moves to penetrate the outer illusion and seeming configuration in order that a more basic understanding of the nature of the self and its manner of learning might be gained.

May we speak in any further fashion, my brother?

D: No, thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Just to say good-bye. I do have a question. I wasn’t going to ask it, but I think I will. If it doesn’t infringe on my free will, please answer; if it does, don’t. Is the concept that I lost when I started analyzing the contact have something to do with a tree? It would ease my mind, actually, to know that it was you that stuck a tree in my mind after—actually after I stopped channeling, because I did not get a solid name for that concept being stuck in my head. Was that you and was that the point at which I missed a concept?

I am Q’uo, and we may speak in response to this query by suggesting that that concept of the tree was a portion of our contact which we were utilizing to speak to the concern that sparked your analysis. We, however, will leave the meaning of the tree to your discernment.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

[A recorded telephone message is heard being played to an incoming caller.]

I am Q’uo, and we appreciate each person’s patience as we have awaited the completion of the recording devices works. May we ask it there is a final query before we take our leave of this group?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we thank each for inviting our presence this evening. It has been a great honor and privilege to join our vibrations with yours. We look forward to each opportunity to join this group in its circle of seeking. We shall at this time take our leave of this group and this instrument and leave each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “When we struggle and battle with the enemy, whether that enemy is physical and external or mental and internal, we do not win any victories. The real victories are won when we use no power and do not fight our opposition but rest in the knowledge that all opposition destroys itself.

“The battle is not yours. Stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” This standing still is not only a refraining from physical and mental power but from spiritual power as well—a complete relaxing in an ocean of peace. I do not know the process, and neither can you, but we can and will witness the fruitage of that stillness and quietness because in the Silence a miracle takes place: the enemy destroys itself and disappears out of our experience—evaporates and dissolves whether that enemy is a fever, a person, or a nation. We need not fight or struggle with it or with them: we need only be still. We are aligned with a power that is not a power; we are achieving victory without force. We do not even use spiritual force, but our stillness permits spiritual force to use us. Ours is a refraining from power in a Silence which thunders, “I am God; therefore, you be still and rest, for I will be with you unto the end of the world. You rest, relax, and be silent.

When we have rested, when we have become still, and when we have permitted the Spirit to permeate our mind and body, a Something greater than ourselves goes before us and prepares the way for us: the enmity and opposition dissolve, and we stand within ourselves and marvel, “A mighty work.” In a complete Silence with no attempt to use God, use Truth, or use a power over anybody or for anybody, something takes place within us that dissolves the problems of life and makes the way one of joy and fulfillment.”

Later this morning I went outside and used Whip Lash to weed the Moss Garden. Then I used Huff and Puff to blow the leaves and weeds across Little Locust Creek where I will mulch them when I cut the grass later this week.

This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought one bag of Red Cedar Mulch. My second stop was at Kroeger’s where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought more food for myself.

This afternoon I went outside and spread the Red Cedar Mulch around the Lenten Rose Garden.

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

June 15

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from November 2, 1986:

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. Greetings in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Q’uo. It is a great privilege to speak with you this evening. We would ask before channeling further that the instrument place her free hand in the free hand of the other instrument. As both instruments have the hands crossed, we are now satisfied that there is adequate metaphysical or etheric protection for this contact. The physical energy level of this instrument is quite low, that is, we should say, in the negative, and, therefore, there is some difficulty in working with such a small group. [Inaudible]. This is satisfactory.

In answer to the queries of the instrument regarding the nature of prior contact, we may say that the previous messenger was not acceptable as a spirit filled with Love of service to others, and we are pleased at the instrument’s determination to name and dismiss the persistent contact. We ask that this instrument attempt to erase from the mind the name of this entity, as thought of the name is an attraction, forming a bond between instrument and contact. We find this instrument in an unusually good state for contact, the mind being in repose with no curiosity as to what is about to be said. This is satisfactory.

The presumption of the seeker is that all parameters are to be understood and searched out, and that there is a trail of Wisdom to the stars, a series of questions that will lead one to infinite Wisdom. This is not so. Wisdom is born of suffering, dilemma, contradiction, and pain. The so-called happy times that you experience within the illusion are useful as randomly as are the difficult times, and the intrinsic value of happiness is quite low. Indeed, no experience has a great deal of value except as a part of a very large base of information from which the deeper mind may begin to draw intuitive conclusions about the way things are not. Each of you considers the self a fairly long-term, consistent, and stable personality. Seekers tend to view the self as a kind of business to be managed: so much of this, so much of that, the proper conditions for growth, and behold: a well-managed and prosperous-looking metaphysical path. We realize that we are not speaking to those who are seeking reasons to commit themselves to the spiritual path, but rather that we are speaking to those who will live life within third density to its end, incarnationally speaking, moving as closely in accordance with metaphysical principles as intuition and reason permit.

Thusly, we wish neither to commiserate nor inspire. We wish to explain to you that you inspire us, for you cannot see any good that you do, nor can you know what you have learned within this incarnation. And yet you struggle onward, ceaselessly valiant, forever spraining your metaphysical ankles and breaking your bones, picking yourselves up, putting yourselves in traction and moving back into your search, your fruitless, hopeless search for a well-ordered, productive, maximally service-oriented expression and manifestation of Love. You seek to create a life. Do you know that you cannot help create life, or that the enormous bulk of that which you create was created before you got your rational hands on it? Did you know, my brother and my sister, and we speak also to our sister, J, that you move in a maze, working not on understanding but on prejudice? What are you seeking to be prejudiced for or against? You are seeking to be prejudiced against happiness and for suffering, against comfort and for discomfort, against social ease and for solitude, against peace of mind and for humble and disquieted thought, against law and for law. You are seeking to tie a knot so complex that it becomes unity, moving through complexity and dissolving. You are seeking the mystery you name but cannot describe and the doors to the mystery open most fruitfully when the attention is heightened, focused and intensified by loneliness, discomfort and suffering.

In this session Q’uo spoke of the concepts of wisdom and mystery. They began by saying the presumption of the seeker is that all parameters are to be understood and searched out, and that there is a trail of Wisdom to the stars, a series of questions that will lead one to infinite Wisdom, but this is not so, for Wisdom is born of contradiction and pain, so the happy times that you experience within the illusion are useful as randomly as are the difficult times, and the value of happiness is quite low, yet no experience has a great deal of value except as a part of a large base of information from which the deeper mind may begin to draw intuitive conclusions about the way things are not, for each of you considers the self a stable personality, and seekers tend to view the self as a kind of business to be managed which produces a prosperous-looking metaphysical path, but we realize that we are not speaking to those who are seeking reasons to commit themselves to the spiritual path, but rather that we are speaking to those who will live life within third density to its end moving as closely in accordance with metaphysical principles as intuition and reason permit. Q’uo went on to say we wish neither to commiserate nor inspire, so we wish to explain to you that you inspire us, for you cannot see any good that you do, nor can you know what you have learned within this incarnation, yet you struggle onward, breaking your bones, picking yourselves up, putting yourselves in traction and moving back into your hopeless search for a service-oriented expression and manifestation of Love, for you seek to create a life and to tie a knot so complex that it becomes unity, moving through complexity and dissolving, and you are seeking the mystery you name but cannot describe, and the doors to the mystery open most fruitfully when the attention is intensified by loneliness and suffering. On April 9, 1981, Q’uo mentioned ways that we can try to solve the mystery of our being:

For a general response to this query that does not risk the infringement upon the free will of those who seek the mystery of their own being, we must suggest that one look within one’s own being within the state of meditation or of prayer, and for those who are accomplished at working with their dreams within the sleeping state there might be sought information in these areas that is not readily accessible to the conscious mind. The part which desires with great intensity to know the nature of its own being and the purpose of its being shall, with dogged persistence, continue to seek within the meditative or prayerful state this information which the subconscious mind contains in full and which it will release in symbolic form to the conscious mind in order that the conscious mind might be informed in the manner by which it has sought information.

This is the means by which one knocks upon the inner door that it might be opened and there might be an exchange of information and experience between the conscious and unconscious minds. The masks, shall we say, that each entity wears within an incarnation are placed as they are by the entity and its free will choices prior to each incarnational experience in order that certain potentials might be offered for learning certain lessons and offering services as a result of these experiences. Thus, each entity has the mystery that surrounds it that offers to it the constant opportunity to penetrate the veil of forgetting, as it is called, in order that a glimpse of that which lies beyond shall inspire the seeker to continue on this journey, finding a glimmer of light here, then there, then here and there, and, putting together these pieces of illumination, might begin to understand the nature of its own being and its connection to all of the creation about it.

Would that we could teach those within an illusion to pay sufficient attention while peaceful and happy, for then discomfort and pain would have no spiritual use whatsoever, these being the two-by-fours which are applied to your foreheads by your higher selves in a loving effort to get your attention. Why is it, my friends, that when it is noon, you think about what you shall do from noon ’til one and at one you think of what you shall do in the afternoon? And even if you hear a noise or are disturbed, you do not think to yourself, “I wish to take this time out of time. I wish to take this moment with utter seriousness”? Why do you skate on the pond of your life, never plunging into the icy waters that protect sleepers from wake ones?

There are techniques which may insulate you against the chill of pain, the discomfort of solitude. Some there are who gradually don these protections and move into a kingdom where all is wakeful, listening, full of Light and conscious. In attempting to understand the surface geography about you, metaphysically speaking, you cut yourself off from the acceptance of those tools which you can use to move through the icy waters of wakefulness. Things are simple, as our message always is. You may put on Light; you may put on Love; you may put on commitment; you may put on honest doubt. In all of these ways, you are declaring that your element is wakefulness, and that your goals are not surface, not sleep-ridden, but further into the Light, further into life, further into that which is conscious, for there is that within each life which is conscious, but hides beneath the waters, and the waters hide beneath the ice.

Q’uo went on to say would that we could teach those within an illusion to pay sufficient attention while peaceful and happy, for then discomfort would have no spiritual use, these being the two-by-fours which are applied to your foreheads by your higher selves in a loving effort to get your attention, so: “Why is it, my friends, that when it is noon, you think about what you shall do from noon ’til one, and at one you think of what you shall do in the afternoon? And even if you hear a noise or are disturbed, you do not think to yourself, “I wish to take this time out of time. I wish to take this moment with utter seriousness”? Why do you skate on the pond of your life, never plunging into the icy waters that protect sleepers from wake ones?” Now Q’uo said there are techniques which may insulate you against the chill of pain, and some there are who put on these protections and move into a kingdom where all is full of Light and conscious, for in attempting to understand the surface geography about you, metaphysically speaking, you cut yourself off from the acceptance of those tools which you can use to move through the icy waters of wakefulness, so you may put on Light, and you may put on Love, for in these ways you are declaring that your element is wakefulness, and that your goals are not surface, but further into the Light and further into that which is conscious, for there is that within each life which is conscious but hides beneath the waters, and the waters hide beneath the ice. On April 13, 2024, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our conscious mind:

In the deeps of your being is the One Creator that exists as your deep mind and which can confirm to you, and for you, that which you feel is true. This is a question which you ask in order that this deep mind, this fulfilling of Love, the Creator’s Love, then can rise into your conscious mind and speak to you in a manner which we feel you are aware of already.

This is a kind of knowing that the conscious mind frequently questions. For the conscious mind is not totally connected to the perception of the spiritual journey. The conscious mind is often confused and feels a multitude of directions possible as answers to various questions. That is why it is necessary for the spiritual seeker of truth to move deeper beyond the conscious mind to that portion of yourself which knows the answer to each question which you ask.

We feel that you are advanced enough on your own spiritual journey to know the answer to the question that you seek. Especially if you utilize the technique of meditation which takes you deeper and deeper into your conscious mind, into the mind of the Creator, where the Creator speaks to you, and gives you those answers which you desire.

We shall transfer. It is a pleasure to speak through this instrument, and we thank both instruments for their fidelity to that service which they offer without regard for the outcome of that offer. This is satisfactory. I am Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet you again in Love and Light through this instrument. We are pleased that we have been able to utilize each instrument this evening, and at this time it is our desire to open our contact to queries which may be on the mind of either instrument. If there may be a way in which we could serve in this manner, we would be most happy to do so. May we speak to any concern or query at this time?

Carla: I was wondering if you could say what you just said so I could understand it. I didn’t understand what you were saying, exactly. Something about the good times don’t help and the bad times don’t help?

I am Q’uo, and we feel that your ability to perceive that which was transmitted through your instrument is that which might be considered for one serving as an instrument, for if one is able to open oneself fully enough to a contact such as ours in order that it might move without resistance through the instrument there will be the tendency towards forgetting that which has moved through the instrument. This is as it should be, my sister, and we feel that you will be more able to grasp the concepts which we have transmitted through your instrument when you are able to view them upon the page, if all has gone well with the recording of these concepts, as we are aware there has been some difficulty in this area.

The core of the concepts which we were attempting to share this evening is that concept which we have discovered in our own experience and feel is quite applicable to each entity who is within your third-density illusion—the nature of that illusion. For, indeed, all you perceive within your life experience is made of illusion. That which seems good and favorable and that which seems bad or repugnant together form the mountains and valleys of the terrain of your life experience. And it is not from reading of such geographical configuration of land masses that one learns how to navigate such terrain, or is able to deduce any precept or final conclusion from such configuration. One must travel this terrain, moving between the peaks and the valleys, and remaining in various locations for a certain period of your time and experience in order to be able to grasp the effect upon one’s thinking, that residing within a certain location of being and expression will affect the thinking.

By experiencing these various geographical configurations, one may then, through this experience, fashion that which is truly born of wisdom, and which may eventually produce a loving acceptance of all that one experiences within the life pattern, when one is able to utilize the experiences to their fullest extent.

May we answer in any further way, my sister?

Carla: I’ll follow your advice and read it. It did seem a little—it took me aback to hear you say that nothing that we did is basically of any account. There was no way we could learn anything. Sometimes I really do think that we’re making progress. So, I guess I should not think that way.

I am Q’uo, and in this regard, my sister, we may only add that as one moves further along the path of evolution, and begins to feel a sense of accomplishment, that one in the true sense has begun to discover that there is much to learn, and what seems to have been learned will affect the thinking yet may not carry the impact upon the total beingness that the conscious mind imagines it will carry. Indeed, you make progress, my sister, as do all seekers of truth. Yet that progress is registered within your total being in a way which you cannot imagine, for you do not have the tools within your illusion to grasp the breadth, the depth, or the height, or the intensity or any true measure of that which you have attained. Doubt not that you have attained, but continue to doubt that you know what you have attained, for that which you seek is truly born of mystery and will continue to attract your seeking. Only one who is either unaware that such mystery exists, or is satisfied that the mystery is solved shall fail to make progress in moving closer toward the heart of that mystery. In time you will see with clearer eyes the nature of that mystery more and more clearly. Yet within your illusion at this time you must content yourself with continuing upon the journey toward mystery and accept that you do not know what you do or how to do it, but that you wish to do that which will make the mystery move within your life in the pattern that may only be described as Love.

Carla asked: “It did seem a little—it took me aback to hear you say that nothing that we did is basically of any account. There was no way we could learn anything. Sometimes I really do think that we’re making progress. So, I guess I should not think that way.” Q’uo began by saying we may say that as one moves further along the path of evolution, and begins to feel a sense of accomplishment, that one has begun to discover that there is much to learn, and what seems to have been learned will affect the thinking yet may not carry the impact upon the total beingness that the conscious mind imagines it will carry, for you make progress, yet that progress is registered within your total being in a way which you cannot imagine, for you do not have the tools within your illusion to grasp the breadth, the depth, or the height, or the intensity of that which you have attained, but doubt not that you have attained, but continue to doubt that you know what you have attained, for that which you seek is born of mystery and will continue to attract your seeking, so only one who is either unaware that such mystery exists, or is satisfied that the mystery is solved shall fail to make progress in moving closer toward the heart of that mystery, and in time you will see the nature of that mystery more clearly, yet within your illusion you must content yourself with continuing upon the journey toward mystery and accept that you do not know what you do or how to do it, but that you wish to do that which will make the mystery move within your life in the pattern that is described as Love. On October 1, 1995, Q’uo spoke of how everything is born of mystery:

As we spoke of the quality of perseverance, we were beginning that avenue of which you speak, that being of faith, though not clearly stated. You are quite correct about the quality of faith. The quality of faith is that which when joined with the quality of will are the two most helpful aspects of the attitude that a student may exercise at any point within this illusion, for all that you see before you and all that you see about you is born of mystery, much in the pain of birth and much must be taken on faith, for there is no other quality which may sustain one through the difficulties which any seeker will encounter within the incarnation, and we thank you, my sister, for clarifying the necessity for relying upon faith, for indeed it is a great ally for any seeker.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: I have a different question. Thank you for that answer. It helps a little bit—I’ll read it. A couple of questions that have been on my mind and I’m glad to have this chance to ask them. Just personal.

Question number one on my mind. In writing the book on channeling, I’ve found more and more that I do have a fairly singular view of the nature of channeling and its context, and things that I really didn’t know that I thought, in such an organized fashion. I’ve just been going along in my biases, I guess, and not really analyzing it. I find that I perceive channeling as a kind of ministry, like any other metaphysical or religious attempt to minister to people. Not in the sense of orthodox or unorthodox religion, but just in a sense of offering the best guidance that we can give and being responsible about and living according to metaphysical rules that produce some control over the phenomenon of channeling.

It has begun to concern me that by offering this view of channeling to people who are thinking about channeling or who are channeling, I would help a few but put off a great many more because of my perceptions of the basic nature of channeling. People are often put off by the thought of having to live a spiritual life according to metaphysical principles, and, you know, too much seriousness and discipline and so forth. Does my point of view have the best help I can give to the audience I want to offer this material to in it, or should I seek further for another expression of these principles?

I am Q’uo, and, my sister, in this regard, we may respond to your query by suggesting that that which is within you is that which you have to offer to others. Be not concerned that your own opinions will be given too much weight and will affect others overly much, for each will take from what you have to offer that which is appropriate to that entity at that particular point in its own journey of evolution. You have with your own desire to be of service to others sought within the depths of your own being, and experience that which you feel is the best which you have to offer regarding the channeling service and the preparation for such service and the maintenance for such service. What more can you do, my sister?

To give that which is the best of one’s being is to give all that one has. To attempt to fashion that which one has in a way which one feels might be more palatable, shall we say, to those who will share that offering, is to skew that which one has, and in that skewing, reduce the purity with which one shares one’s own beingness. There are many, many ways to view any particular topic that might be of service to others. We value each instrument through which we may speak, for our message is always and ever the same and gains in variety by being able to be transmitted through a variety of instruments, each with his or her own unique personality and experience to give another facet of this single message which we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator have to offer. Thus, we applaud your efforts to share your opinions and your experience and your thinking. They are yours to offer, freely given with no expectation of any particular outcome.

Carla asked: “People are often put off by the thought of having to live a spiritual life according to metaphysical principles, and, you know, too much seriousness and discipline and so forth. Does my point of view have the best help I can give to the audience I want to offer this material to in it, or should I seek further for another expression of these principles?” Q’uo continued by saying we may respond to your query by suggesting that which is within you is that which you have to offer others, so be not concerned that your opinions will be given too much weight and will affect others overly much, for each will take from what you have to offer that which is appropriate to that entity at that point in its journey of evolution, and you have with your desire to be of service to others sought within the depths of your being to experience that which you feel is the best which you have to offer regarding the channeling service, the preparation for such service, and the maintenance for such service. Q’uo continued by saying to give that which is the best of one’s being is to give all that one has, and to attempt to fashion that which one has in a way which one feels might be more helpful to those who will share that offering is to distort that which one has and reduce the purity with which one shares one’s own beingness, so there are many ways to view any topic that might be of service to others, for we value each instrument through which we speak since our message is always the same and gains in variety by being able to be transmitted through a variety of instruments, each with his or her own unique personality and experience to give another facet of this single message which we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator have to offer, so we applaud your efforts to share your opinions, and they are yours to offer with no expectation of any outcome. On May 25, 1986, Q’uo spoke of the nature of one’s own beingness:

We would suggest that the means of reinvesting one’s own beingness with the essence of the energy produced by the physical vehicle in conjunction with the mental process which you have described is one which focuses the, as it has been called, chi, or prana, in a specific fashion which is then utilized in what may be called a sacred manner. The physical vehicle provides the foundation upon which all experience is built for an entity. The preservation of the vehicle and its ability to reproduce, and its ability to serve as a triggering mechanism, give to the entity the basic energy and environment of energy which it then may utilize in higher and higher, if you will, means. Thus, the creation and storing of physical sexual energies may be focused upon any of the succeeding centers of energy or chakras as we find them called of an entity. Thus, in this way any balancing of distortion or removal of blockages or accomplishing of magical workings may be carried out. The function then of the mental complex is to design the framework or channel through which these physical energies may be moved. When this framework has been firmly constructed within the entity, the power of the internalized physical sexual energy is then more and more available for use in the prescribed fashion.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: The other personal question. That was a really classy way of saying, “It’s up to you.” I appreciate the classiness of that. The second question has to do with silent meditation and its possible value to our group. I was talking with the leader of the silent meditation group who never has channeling. She wanted to get together once every six weeks or so. I was thinking to myself that it has been literally years since this particular group offered the opportunity for silent meditation. In your estimate, would it be more helpful for the channeling always to be included in meditations, or for there to be an occasional silent meditation in terms of the inspiration there that the experience would offer to those who sit in the circle?

I am Q’uo, and again, my sister, the desires of the group are those considerations which will fashion that which is most appropriate for the group to experience as a group. We are aware that there are many ways for inspiration to be experienced. If meditation is chosen as one way in which inspiration may be experienced, then the further determination may also be made as to whether the vocal channeling shall be a part of that inspiration. We cannot decide for you…

[Tape ends.]

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “The world has come to a place where it must go beyond power and beyond mind. Is there such a place? Is there a place where physical might and human thought are not power, and where safety, security, and peace are assured?

In a moment of futility and frustration when every reliance has been forsaken the answer comes as the voice of God utters Itself, a Voice not in the blustering whirlwinds, nor in the awesome rumblings of the volcano but a Voice so still that only in the Silence can it be heard and there It thunders. When we hear that Voice, we need not concern ourselves about protection against bombs; we need not concern ourselves with depressions or recessions. One thing alone then concerns us: the ability to be still and let God manifest as the still small Voice within us.

Today world conditions make our personal problems seem infinitesimal, but whether we are thinking in terms of individual, national, or international problems, basically there is only one problem—material and mental power as against My Spirit.

There is only one enemy—the universal belief that material and mental force can control this world. The enemies confronting us today are not a threatened epidemic of disease, not a devastating condition of weather or climate, not impending economic disaster, not destructive war: all these are but part and parcel of the belief in material and mental powers.

But are material and mental powers, power, or is the still small Voice the only power? The answer is that there is no power in the visible world, and anything that exists in our mind as an objective thing is not power. Let us never fear an image in our mind whether that image is a person, a disease, or even a bomb. The still small Voice in the midst of us is mightier than all of these, and if we can become so silent that that Voice can utter Itself—even if only as a deep breath or a sense of peace or warmth—this Earth will be filled with the voice of God and the belief in two powers will be silenced.”

This morning I went outside, and I pumped half of the water in the fishpond out of the pond and used it to water the gardens around the fishpond. Then I used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the four filters in the skimmer. Then I used the garden hose to refill the fishpond with water. As the pond was refilling, I fertilized the five water lilies with two tablets of fertilizer in each water lily. I also pulled off all dying lily pads as I was fertilizing the water lilies. When the fishpond was full of water, I added two cups of AquaSafe to neutralize the chlorine in the fresh water.

Later this morning I went on an errand run to Thieneman’s Garden Nursery and bought three bags of Red Cedar mulch. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Speedway Gas Station where I put 32 psi of air in Stanley’s tires.  

This afternoon I went outside and watered the Hosta and the Striped Solomon Seal Flowers beside the garage, and then I watered the Caladium Flowers behind the garage. Then I spread the three bags of Red Cedar mulch around the giant Sycamore tree in the back yard.  Then I used the garden hose and watering wand to water the Dianthus Flowers along the parking area in front of my home.

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

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 Q’uo channeling for this session comes from October 22, 1986:

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet each of you in the Love and the Light of the one Creator. It is a great privilege to be speaking with you, and because of the nature of this channeling we would pause at this time to move in the stream of time, as you call it, and blend our vibrations with yours at this time, in order that we may empathize and blend our energies with your own, for we wish to speak not only inspiring words, but also words inspiring and needful to you. We shall pause at this time. I am Q’uo.

[Pause]

I am Q’uo and am again with this instrument. We are pleased to have shared in your life stream and shall speak at this time about those things which are upon your mind. Although many are the concerns which you have, perhaps the one you hold most in common is the desire to know more about meditation. Each of you has consciousness. That consciousness is greater than you may perhaps have perceived. You may associate consciousness with your ability to reason, analyze, and think. Many are the questions which yield to the excellent tool of your waking consciousness. Yet, let us gaze upon the frontiers of rational thought with care to examine the ultimate nature of the knowledge gained through reason. The rational mind is a calculator, and it calculates many things very well. Your race has built many gadgets, many beautiful and interesting artifacts, and yet, in all the complexity of the creation of humanity, there is no ultimate truth. All rational inquiry has ended thus far in mystery. Geniuses, as you call clear thinkers who are scientists, turn finally to appreciation, and even adoration, of the mystery which unifies all phenomena, never convinced that there is not an ultimate answer, but aware that it has not yet been found.

Consciousness is not only rational, and it is in using the rational mind alone, or the subconscious mind alone, that knowledge has become fragmented and incomplete. The mind functions with precision and elegance in the portion of your consciousness which most among your people shrug off as being that province of fools and dreamers—the subconscious or unconscious mind. And yet each of you well knows how many times you have known through intuition or hunch, because you saw it in a dream, or just knew it to be so, what would occur before it did. You have known when you would be visited or telephoned, what your friend or family would say to you. You have seen solutions that could not logically be arrived at. Without even intending to, you have used the deeper powers of your mind to simplify your life. You have managed your consciousness perhaps better than you think, yet there is far more improvement possible through meditation. Let each of us step back for a moment and look carefully at what we feel may be so about consciousness.

In this session Q’uo spoke about consciousness and the Love of the Creator. They began by saying we are pleased to have shared in your life stream and shall speak at this time about those things which are upon your mind, and although many are the concerns which you have, perhaps the one you hold most in common is the desire to know more about meditation, for each of you has consciousness that is greater than you may have perceived, so you may associate consciousness with your ability to think, but many are the questions which yield to the tool of your waking consciousness, yet let us gaze upon the frontiers of rational thought with care to examine the ultimate nature of the knowledge gained through reason, for the rational mind is a calculator, and it calculates many things very well, so your race has built many gadgets and artifacts, but in all the complexity of the creation of humanity, there is no ultimate truth, for all rational inquiry has ended thus far in mystery, for geniuses who are scientists, turn to appreciation of the mystery which unifies all phenomena, never convinced that there is not an ultimate answer, but aware that it has not yet been found.

On November 9, 2019, Q’uo described the nature of consciousness:

The Law of One says simply that all things, all beings, all is One, One Infinite Creator, Intelligent Infinity, that which is all that is. Consciousness is a portion of the One Infinite Creator that becomes enabled, or created, when the universe begins to take shape as the One Infinite Creator and through free will creates the Logos or Love, which creates Light, which then condenses into the creation that is made of consciousness.

Thus, consciousness comes from the One Infinite Creator’s unity. As each entity perceives its own consciousness, then, it discovers that it is related to all other entities through this consciousness and through its various levels of consciousness within its own being that move through the roots of the tree of mind into the subconscious, into the planetary consciousness, into racial consciousness, into cosmic consciousness, into the consciousness of all that is, all that is created.

Thus, if each entity begins to examine its own consciousness, it discovers that it is as related to the One Infinite Creator as is any other entity or any other portion of the One Infinite Creation. Thus, to know the consciousness of the self is to know, in microcosm, that which is in macrocosm. Thus, the One Infinite Creator knows Itself in each iota of beingness of Its creation, and each iota of beingness of the creation knows Itself as the One Infinite Creator.

We suggest to you, my friends, that there is one consciousness, which in its original and undistorted form may be called Love. The consciousness of Love is the great original Thought, crystal clear and pure, and by its profound, generative nature, the Creator of all that there is. Thus, the consciousness that is your identity and nature is some distortion, one representation of that one great original Thought of Love which created all that there is. When the conscious mind of man is used without the aid of the deeper mind, very little of the consciousness of Love can be channeled through you from consciousness to manifestation. The person who lives in mind and not in heart lives a dry and arid life, unrelieved by the beauty of Love or the joy of passion, for, indeed, it is those with a passion and joy for knowing the truth, for celebrating friendship, and for seeking Love, that creates the full potential of consciousness for each of you.

When you move from the conscious mind into the deep mind, you are moving from busyness and noise, distraction and sleep, to a cool, clear pool of Light, silent, profound, and infinite. Infinity cannot be comprehended by the rational mind, for the mind calculates only the calculable, leaving mystery uncalculated. The deep mind is at home and comfortable in the endless sea of infinity, for in infinity it has its home, just as you have your home in infinity. You are an eternal essence, part of the Creator, and before your planet hung, round and beautiful in its orbit, you existed, complete and perfect. It is your birthright to experience infinity. Your conscious mind keeps you limited. In meditation, you enter the eternal, and as you allow your mind consciously to run down and become quiet, you tap in more and more to the great stream of Love and wisdom which runs underground, shall we say, in your consciousness.

Q’uo went on to say we suggest to you that there is one consciousness which, in its original form, may be called Love, and the consciousness of Love is the great original Thought, and it is the Creator of all that there is, so the consciousness that is your identity is some distortion of that one great original Thought of Love which created all that there is, for when the conscious mind is used without the aid of the deeper mind, very little of the consciousness of Love can be channeled through you from consciousness to manifestation, for the person who lives in mind and not in heart lives a dry life, unrelieved by the beauty of Love or the joy of passion, for it is those with a passion and joy for knowing the truth, and for seeking Love that creates the full potential of consciousness for each of you. Q’uo went on to say when you move from the conscious mind into the deep mind, you are moving from distraction and sleep, to a cool, clear pool of Light, silent and infinite, but infinity cannot be comprehended by the rational mind, for the mind calculates only the calculable, leaving mystery uncalculated, yet the deep mind is at home and comfortable in the endless sea of infinity, for in infinity it has its home, just as you have your home in infinity because you are an eternal essence, part of the Creator, and it is your birthright to experience infinity, but your conscious mind keeps you limited, so in meditation you enter the eternal, and as you allow your mind to become quiet you tap into the great stream of Love and Wisdom which runs underground in your consciousness. On March 25, 2007, Q’uo the endless sea of infinity:

What the feminine offers is the inspiration from spirit. That is the other portion of that male expression of strength, power, and virility. The woman is expressing acceptance, unconditional Love, and the energy of the Creator Itself. For you see, the woman, unlike man, is possessed of a direct route or connection to the womb of, shall we say, Mother Nature or the red-ray energy of planet Earth.

The woman has that sea of infinity and eternity flowing through her. She is much closer to her priestliness because she must tend to the circumstances of her menses monthly, and she feels the pull of the moon, the tides, and her passions in a way that, generally speaking, men are not encouraged to do in your culture.

Perhaps you feel that in some ways you are not worthy to meditate and to seek understanding, but we assure you that all entities make what could be called errors in judgment. We ask you always, as you go into meditation, to release your previous perceptions of yourself, your identity, your faults, and your weaknesses, focusing only on that which you desire—knowledge of the truth. In meditation you shall become more and more aware of the true nature of the creation. You shall begin to see the unity that binds all in the Thought that created all. If all whom you meet and all that you meet are Love, then what shall your perceptions be after meditation? The more you meditate, the more you will discover the expansion of your viewpoint, the increase in tolerance, in awareness, in understanding, for, my friends, the creation is far other than it may seem to those who view the incarnation, the lifetime, as all that there is.

To the one who has no hope of eternity, the consciousness of Love may come hard. However, we urge you to attempt to justify in any rational way the order of the magnificent and infinite universe without suggesting the unity of the creation under one Progenitor, one Creator, one Principle which creates all. And as for eternity itself, we leave it to your hearts to validate the truth of the nature of the universe. Turn then regularly—daily, if possible—from the endless wrangling, disputing, proving, and disproving of the conscious mind, long enough to swim in the sea of eternity, so that you may cleanse yourself of dailyness and emerge clear, clean, spotless, and perfect, resting in infinity, bathed in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. My friends, you are experiencing changes as it is, and the more you meditate, the more changes you will experience in addition to that which by nature is changing in your perceptions. The path of one who seeks through meditation and opening to infinity is not always an altogether easy one, although it is a joyful one. There is often little peace in perceiving more Love in situations than others perceive. Yet, may it be a joy to you, and may you always seek the truth.

Then Q’uo said perhaps you feel that you are not worthy to meditate and to seek understanding, but we assure you that all entities make errors in judgment, so we ask as you go into meditation, to release your perceptions of your faults, focusing only on knowledge of the truth, for in meditation you shall become aware of the true nature of the creation, and you shall begin to see the unity that binds all in the Thought of Love that created all, so the more you meditate, the more you will discover the increase in tolerance and in awareness, for the creation is other than it may seem to those who view the incarnation as all that there is. Q’uo concluded by saying to the one who has no hope of eternity, the consciousness of Love may come hard, but we urge you to attempt to justify the order of the infinite universe by suggesting the unity of the creation under one Creator which creates all, and as for eternity itself, we leave it to your hearts to validate the truth of the nature of the universe, so turn then daily from the proving and disproving of the conscious mind long enough to swim in the sea of eternity, so that you may cleanse yourself of dailyness and emerge clear and perfect, resting in infinity, bathed in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator, for you are experiencing changes, and the more you meditate, the more changes you will experience in addition to that which by nature is changing in your perceptions because the path of one who seeks through meditation and opening to infinity is not always an altogether easy one, although it is a joyful one, but there is little peace in perceiving more Love in situations than others perceive, yet may it be a joy to you, and may you always seek the truth. On June 27, 1993, Q’uo spoke of the unity of the one creation:

When in the primeval unity of the creation the Creator chose through free will to express Itself the creation was articulated. The proper response to this Being has in your culture formed around itself a large number of ways and means which are deemed to be appropriate so that one gives one’s rightful response to a Creator which has chosen to manifest that which is the seeker. Each of these instructions seems wise and proper to some and inappropriate to others. Therefore, it would seem that there is no consensus as to what the Creator Itself might want from Its creation.

This seems to be the situation; however, the Creator, as we feel this mystery, is unworldly and incompletely grasped by us, and seems to us not to desire any response over other responses, but rather, the Creator acts and continues in action rather than reaction. The seeker wishing to address the infinite One in most cases is addressing a Logos, the Love manifest, or some expression of Love manifest, such as the higher self. To this higher self, still, no one mode of address is preferred precisely, rather the praise and thanksgiving are accepted without emotion.

We surround you with our Love, which is only that channeled from the Creator through us, for all things are the Creator, and the Creator is in all things. If we have said any words which do not seem to ring true, use your discrimination in removing and forgetting those things we have said which are not for you, for we make as many mistakes as any other friend. Yet, we are your brothers and sisters, and we hope that we have been able to assist you. Love each other, my friends. Care for each other, and experience the Creator in every face you meet. We are those of Q’uo in the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. We do not ask you to take any note of our identification, for it matters not whether we are extraterrestrials, spirits, or voices on the wind. If our words have truth and meaning for you, that is all and more than we could hope to desire from this service we humbly offer. We would leave you now in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “If the Grace of God has touched us to the point where we cannot stop studying and meditating, then we are doing everything that can be done. We cannot hasten the day. We can delay it by ignoring this inner urge to meditate more and to read more, but we cannot hasten it. It comes in its own good time and its own good way.

A human being cannot do this alone, because to a human being the word of God is foolishness. They have no time for it, no patience with it, and sometimes it can even offend them. But if they are touched with just enough Grace to compel them to keep reading, hearing the Word, or meditating, then they will be led to their ultimate demonstration.

When we are in this Spirit, or when It is in us, consciously present, there are not two powers functioning. There is not one power doing something to another power; there is no power of God destroying evil, making evil people good, or overcoming lack with abundance.

When this Consciousness is upon us there are no other powers, and whatever seeming powers there are, are dissolved—not as if these were something being overcome, but as if they were a nothingness fading away

The world is to be saved by My Spirit, but this Spirit operates only through the consciousness of a person who opens the self to It. Therefore, it is our responsibility to become a spiritual rock upon which the harmony of our neighborhood, and community, and even our nation can rest.

We do not need any deep metaphysics: we need to understand the simple little truth that the still small Voice is the power that destroys the illusions of this world. That understanding does not consist of our having a power to do something to error: it consists of the truth that no power is needed to destroy error because error has within itself the elements of self-destruction. We bear witness to that as we stand and look at the unfruitful tree and watch as it withers. We do not wither it: its own barrenness withers it. So, error is dissolved as we sit in quietness and stillness, a witness to the divine Power, and watch as harmony descents upon all around us.

And so, step by step we are strengthened until the day comes when we realize that now we can rest at will in God and let that Spirit that flows through us, that Robe that envelops us, be the prayer, the benediction, and the healing in our community and to the world.

We become the light of the world as we bring ourselves to a state of consciousness in which we do not battle the errors of the world, but in which we become completely still and let the Spirit of God nullify and dissolve the pictures of sense. No longer will we struggle with error, but rest, relax, and be a witness to God functioning on Earth as in heaven. Above all, we will never forget that we are the twelve, the seventy, the two hundred: we are the light in our community. We are that one, even if there is not another, who will not succumb to the mesmerism of fear, doubt, hate, envy, jealousy, or malice. We are that one who will be a rock in our community, a rock of Silence, welling up within ourselves as peace, and letting that peace descend upon our communit

Later this morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Kroeger’s where I bought some food for myself. My second stop was at Paul’s where I bought some more food for myself and the last Coleus Flower that I forgot yesterday. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug store where I bought some Kleenexes. After I got home, I went outside and transplanted the third Coleus into the area around the giant Sycamore Tree where I transplanted the other 5 Coleuses yesterday afternoon.

This afternoon I went outside, and I hand-weeded the Striped Solomon Seal Garden behind the garage, and then I used Whip Lash to weed the Caladium Garden behind the garage. Then I used Huff and Puff to blow all of the leaves and weeds across Little Locust Creek. I also used Huff and Puff to blow all of the weeds out of the Caladium Garden.

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

June 13

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from October 19, 1986:

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator whom we serve as we serve you. Such, indeed, is our intent. We wish to thank you for requesting information which called our group, for it is a privilege to be able to attempt to be of service to you. If there is anything which we say that speaks not to you with the voice of inspiration, disregard it please, for we are as fallible as are you, and as little likely to penetrate the mystery of the uniqueness of each entity’s past. Take what is for you and leave the rest, my friends. Your powers of discrimination are one of your strongest tools.

When you request information on enlightenment and appropriate methods for attaining it, you are speaking of attaining a manifestation rather than an essence, for enlightenment can only be seen by its reflection. Just as Light itself is the creature and creation of Love, so also is enlightenment the creature and manifestation of the thought of Love which an entity has made their own. Let us turn then from the manifestation to the essence. How to achieve communion in the unity of consciousness and Love is perhaps the most basic magical question which could be asked. Magical in the sense that any entity which desires power, whether on the positive or negative path, must form a congruency of a kind with the original Thought of Love in order to create personal power. Each pilgrim which embarks upon the path of attempting to increase the pace of the spiritual journey…

We are sorry for the delay, but we are having difficulty with this instrument, due to its state of fatigue. While this instrument retunes, we would transfer to another instrument. I am Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in Love and Light through this instrument. We are grateful to be able to utilize this instrument while the one known as Carla works upon receiving the conditioning vibration which we offer in a state which is more comfortable to her. We thank also the one known as Carla for offering herself as instrument on this occasion when her physical vehicle is quite depleted of energy, having expended a great deal of effort in this day’s activities prior to this evening’s gathering. We would at this time attempt to recontact the one known as Carla and continue our speaking upon the topic of the seeking of that which you call enlightenment. We transfer this contact at this time. I am Q’uo.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument, greeting each of you in Love and Light once more. We apologize for the haste in leaving this instrument in mid-thought. However, we became aware of its discomfort, and wished to give it a chance to—we find this instrument has a phrase—“shake up the troops.” This instrument wished to shake up its troops, it being on the edge of sleep. We have shaken up the troops and will once again embark upon the question about enlightenment which is actually more interesting than we make it sound, it being what you are all trying to do.

This is where we left off. So… each student of metaphysics is also a student of magic in the purest sense, not in the sense of enchantments, ointments, curses, and blessings, but in the sense of developing personal power. Enlightenment is the manifestation of focused power given a coherent shape, a degree of desire which one has towards the achieving of spiritual goals. The most basic tool for the achievement of a realization of a life lived in magic is meditation, for meditation introduces you to yourself. You may not like what you see. You may discover many, many, many thoughts, thoughts that do not stop, thoughts that do not seem important, thoughts that you do not control. You may find yourself ill-suited at first to meditation from a physical viewpoint, the body being perhaps not used to sitting completely still without falling asleep. And yet, if all you discover about yourself over and over is, as far as you know, that you are dissatisfied with your meditations, nevertheless the intent that sits you in a chair or on the floor or on the ground and puts you in the kingdom of silence is fulfilling completely its part in your development as a magical personality, for it is not only intent, but intent carried through with even and steadfast perseverance that creates personal power.

In this session Q’uo spoke about the concept of enlightenment. They began by saying when you request information on enlightenment and methods for attaining it, you are speaking of attaining a manifestation rather than an essence, for enlightenment can only be seen by its reflection, yet as Light is the creation of Love, so is enlightenment the manifestation of the thought of Love which an entity has made their own, but let us turn from the manifestation to the essence, and how to achieve communion in the unity of consciousness and Love is the most magical question which could be asked, yet magical in the sense that any entity which desires power, whether on the positive or negative path, must form a harmony with the original Thought of Love in order to create personal power. Then Q’uo said each student of metaphysics is also a student of magic in the purest sense, not in the sense of enchantments, ointments, curses, and blessings, but in the sense of developing personal power, for enlightenment is the manifestation of focused power given a coherent shape, a degree of desire which one has towards the achieving of spiritual goals, and the basic tool for the achievement of a realization of a life lived in magic is meditation, for meditation introduces you to yourself, but you may not like what you see because you may discover many, thoughts that do not stop, or thoughts that do not seem important, and thoughts that you do not control, and you may find yourself ill-suited to meditation from a physical viewpoint, your body being not used to sitting still without falling asleep, yet if all you discover about yourself is that you are dissatisfied with your meditations, nevertheless the intent that sits you in a chair and puts you in the kingdom of silence is fulfilling its part in your development as a magical personality, for it is not only intent, but intent carried through with even and steadfast perseverance that creates personal power. On May 17, 1987, Q’uo spoke of the nature of enlightenment:

As succeeding energy centers or circuit areas within the energy centers of the seeker are opened and balanced to a minimal degree through a great portion of time and experience, the prana or Love of the Creator will move further and further up the, as you have called it, path of the kundalini until there is the mating with the guiding Light or Polaris of the self, where the seeker is already at one with the creation, so that an experience of conscious unity with the creation becomes available to the seeker. This completing of the circuit of the series of energy centers has been described by many of your people using various terminology, the enlightenment, the contact with intelligent infinity, the nirvana, as some call it,

Thus, the seeker may be seen as a configuration of circuits or series of lessons and balances to achieve, with each day offering further opportunity to move the flow of Love further along the inner pathways that will eventually culminate in the bringing into harmonic resonance each portion of the seeker’s being.

As to personal power, there are many distortions of the magical personality, and those who seek enlightenment are for the most part seeking positively polarized distortions of that one great original Thought. That is, the path to enlightenment is considered, by those to whom service to others is a goal, to be the service-to-others path. May we say we find it to be the preferable one, but do not wish to influence your thinking beyond a certain point. Once you have meditated—frustratingly or pleasantly makes no difference—for long enough to perceive yourself differently than you did before you began to meditate, you will begin to experience outward changes in your perceptions. This is due to the fact that contact with the essence of Love, the one original Thought of the Creator, causes a continuing shift in the point of view. The method of evaluation of data becomes far more regularized and polarized towards valuing those things which are considered to be of service to others and to the Creator and devaluing those things which are seen as unethical or service to self.

You will find many wars going on within yourself during this period, and it is as though everything that you did know methodically becomes torn away. This is a necessary and a continuing part of the spiritual path, for distortions are all that we notice. It is difficult for the critical consciousness to perceive complete regularity in an infinite configuration. No, my friends, each of us notices peculiarities, and it is by emphasizing certain dynamic tensions that polarity itself takes place. And so, you may go through a short or lengthy period during which you are seeking with your mind and your heart; you are offering yourself to meditation; and things basically are falling apart for you. If this does not happen to you in at least a small way, if you are not reevaluating your point of view after a certain amount of time, as you call it, meditating, it is perhaps for you to meditate a little bit longer or a little bit more regularly. Perhaps you have a high tolerance for the illusion and to awaken from it may take a little more.

Q’uo went on to say as to personal power, there are many distortions of the magical personality, and those who seek enlightenment are seeking positively polarized distortions of that one great original Thought, for the path to enlightenment is considered, by those to whom service to others is a goal, to be the service-to-others path, and we find it the preferable one, but we do not wish to influence your thinking beyond a certain point, so once you have meditated—frustratingly or pleasantly makes no difference—for long enough to perceive yourself differently than you did before you began to meditate, you will experience outward changes in your perceptions, and this is due to that contact with the essence of Love, the one original Thought of the Creator, that causes a shift in the point of view, but the method of evaluation of data becomes more polarized towards valuing those things which are of service to others and to the Creator and devaluing those things which are service to self. Then Q’uo said you will find many wars going on within yourself during this period, and it is as though everything that you know is torn away, for this is a part of the spiritual path, so distortions are all that we notice, but it is difficult for the critical consciousness to perceive regularity in an infinite way because each of us notices peculiarities, and it is by emphasizing certain tensions that polarity takes place, so you may go through a short or lengthy period during which you are seeking with your mind and your heart; you are offering yourself to meditation; and things are falling apart for you, but if this does not happen to you in a small way, if you are not reevaluating your point of view after a certain amount of time of meditating, it is perhaps for you to meditate a little longer or more regularly, and maybe you have a high tolerance for the illusion and to awaken from it may take a little more meditation. On March 28, 2008, Q’uo described the magical personality:

The questioner, in attempting to create changes in his consciousness by the use of his will, is developing his magical personality. Therefore, we would suggest a certain amount of protocol having to do with these periods of affirmation or statement. That is, at the beginning of this period of affirmation or statement, the collected and fully conscious seeker takes upon himself his magical personality. If he wishes, he may invoke it without words. He may make a gesture which indicates to himself that he has taken on his magical personality. Or he may wear a ring or some other form of adornment to the body which is only worn during this particular ritual.

When invoking the magical personality polarity is, of course, all-important. That polarity may be protected by the simple statement: “I desire to know in order to serve.” Positive magical workings always have to do with service to the one infinite Creator and, by reflection, to the world and to the self. There is nothing of the worldly self involved in the desires of the magical personality. Consequently, this taking on, in a ritualistic fashion, of this personality creates a cleanliness and purity to the working which it would not otherwise have. At the end of the working, then, the ring or other adornment may be removed, another gesture may be made, or another visualization may be made.

In no way become discouraged because this may be so, for your intent will bring you that which you desire. The only variable is what you call time, and there are mysteries in each entity’s life pattern having to do with the higher self’s choice of lessons to be learned in any incarnation which may prohibit the apparent perception of enlightenment. Be patient with yourself at all times. Ask of yourself only that you be faithful once you have decided to seek the truth. Once you have begun this journey, you shall never arrive, for part of you is always aware of what you do not know; another part is learning and is quite disorganized; and another part has learned something recently and is resting and is waiting to see what the next lesson may be. My friends, you are complex people. However, enlightenment is essence in importance, and your perception of enlightenment is the shadow of the reality of compassion. As you meditate, as you begin to widen your point of view, never rest, for there is always another refinement which may offer more beauty to your own consciousness of Love, and for you to reflect that consciousness, for you to seem enlightened, a Light to those around, is a most helpful thing to wish. Never suspect that enlightenment benefits the enlightened one. Enlightened entities, my friends, for the most part, work very hard and do not consider themselves enlightened.

No, enlightenment is for the benefit of lightening others’ weary loads, lifting other people’s spirits with an enlightened smile or a few soft words. Seek the essence of compassion. Seek the Creator which is all truth and all Love. Enlightenment will be your harvest. We wish you a good appetite for meditation, my friends, for it will stand you in good stead. We are always pleased to join you in your meditation if you feel the need to meditate, shall we say, with a group. We would be delighted to add our vibrations to your own if you would mentally request it. We do not, however, wish to speak with any privately, reserving that for the working sessions, my friends.

Q’uo continued by saying do not become discouraged because this may be so, for your intention will bring you that which you desire, for the only variable is time, and there are mysteries in each entity’s life pattern having to do with the higher self’s choice of lessons to be learned in any incarnation which may prohibit the apparent perception of enlightenment, so be patient with yourself, and ask of yourself that you be faithful once you have decided to seek the truth, but once you have begun this journey, you shall never arrive, for part of you is always aware of what you do not know; another part is learning and is disorganized; and another part has learned something recently and is resting and waiting to see what the next lesson may be, but you are complex people, yet your perception of enlightenment is the shadow of the reality of compassion, for as you meditate and begin to widen your point of view, never rest, for there is always another refinement which may offer more beauty to your consciousness of Love, and for you to reflect that consciousness, for you to seem enlightened, a Light to those around, is a helpful thing to wish, but never suspect that enlightenment benefits the enlightened one, for enlightened entities work very hard and do not consider themselves enlightened. Now Q’uo said enlightenment is for the benefit of lifting other people’s spirits with an enlightened smile or a few soft words which seek the essence of compassion, so seek the Creator which is truth and Love, and enlightenment will be your harvest, and we wish you a good appetite for meditation, for it will stand you in good stead, so we are always pleased to join in your meditation if you feel the need to meditate with a group, and we would be delighted to add our vibrations to yours if you mentally request it, but we do not wish to speak with any privately, reserving that for the working sessions. On January 4, 1976, Hatonn describe the consciousness of Love:

The consciousness of Love will continue forever. Your consciousness of Love will be your spiritual personality for eternity. Within this consciousness, the cycles of life and death are merely periods which seem as meaningless as the ticking noise of a clock seems in a year.

Within the consciousness of the physical illusion, life and death are weighty and serious matters and shocking even to discuss. Within the consciousness of Love, all is one and there is nothing to fear. And no one to resist. All that you see is Love. We say this to some of you especially who are anointed with the ability, yet who have not used this ability on all occasions. We say this because, as your ears are opened, and your hearts unstopped, my friends, it is well that you are all the consciousness of Love.

 K who is new to this group and greet each again through this instrument before transferring to the one known as Jim so that any questions that you may have about this body of material you have been given could be answered or any other questions you may wish to ask. We would at this time transfer to the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument with the word Love and the vibration Light. I am Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we are grateful to be able to greet you again in Love and Light. We apologize for the delay, for this instrument was desirous through its challenging of being certain that it was receiving our contact and no other. At this time, it is our privilege to ask if there might be any queries to which we might respond more specifically than we were able to respond in our opening message. Is there any query at this time?

J: From tonight’s lesson, do I understand correctly that the path to enlightenment is the path of positive polarity, that is, the path of service to others rather than service to self? Is this correct, first of all?

I am Q’uo, and we emphasized in our previous speaking that the positive polarity choice is, though in our opinion preferable, but one of two choices that those within your illusion may make in traveling the path that leads toward what you have called enlightenment. Thus, the negative choice, that of choosing to be of service to self first and foremost in one’s life patterns, is as valid a choice as is the choice to be of service to others first and foremost in the life patterns.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: No, thank you, that cleared that up. Well, one other question. I know this has been asked before, but let me ask it one more time. What is the best technique for meditation?

I am Q’uo, and in this regard, my brother, we would have no specific meditational technique to offer above all others, for each shall find a particular way of seeking in the meditative state which shall be more effective than others. Yet the variety of choices is large. Each choice, however, to be most effective, in our opinion needs to be based upon the great desire to seek what you may call the truth within each portion of one’s life, and then in a particular portion of the daily experience choose to reflect the Light which one has received back to the Creator in a manner of communing with the one Creator which will allow the seeker then to become aware of the essence of all things within the life pattern.

That is, in the process and state of meditation, one begins to become aware of the unity of Love which binds all things and which moves all experiences in intricate patterns which then offer the lessons of Love to those of your illusion. The desire, then, to seek the heart of the life pattern is that desire which is most helpful to propel one into the meditative state, no matter what technique of meditation is chosen.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: No, thank you. I think it was about two weeks ago when Q’uo joined us once before, it was stated at that time that the Earth is at this time in the middle of an ice age. And we really didn’t get the opportunity to question that particular statement. Could you comment on that now, please?

I am Q’uo, and we scan the previous transmissions and experiences with this group. We find that this information is in regard to the geophysical manifestations upon your planetary sphere at this time which affect the physical illusion. At the same time that the change in what you know as conscious awareness is occurring at the planetary mass mind level, the various physical geophysical patterns of your planet’s expression of this change in vibration or consciousness are various side effects, shall we say, that seem to have a significant influence within your illusion, but which are in effect but rippled effects, shall we say, that fall by the wayside as a greater force finds its expression within the experience of each within your illusion. Thus, you will in the years to come, shall we say, notice more geophysical changes occurring as the shift in the atomic core vibration of each particle of your creation continues in its progress. Thus, we do not feel that these side effects, as we have chosen to call them, are of particular influence or significance when one looks to the heart of the evolutionary process which is ongoing both within your planetary sphere, upon it, and within the life pattern of each entity which calls it home.

J asked: “I think it was about two weeks ago when Q’uo joined us once before, it was stated at that time that the Earth is at this time in the middle of an ice age. And we really didn’t get the opportunity to question that particular statement. Could you comment on that now, please?” Q’uo replied we find this information regards the geophysical manifestations upon your planet at this time which affect the physical illusion, and at the same time the change in conscious awareness is occurring at the planetary mind level, the physical geophysical patterns of your planet’s expression of this change in consciousness are various side effects that have an influence within your illusion which are in effect but are rippled effects that fall by the wayside as a greater force finds its expression within the experience of each within your illusion, so you will notice more geophysical changes occurring as the shift in the atomic core vibration of each particle of your creation continues in its progress, but we do not feel that these side effects are of significance when one looks to the heart of the evolutionary process which is ongoing within your planetary sphere and upon it, and within the life pattern of each entity which calls it home. On August 16, 1987, Q’uo spoke about the nature of geophysical changes:

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother, and we find it is one which is much upon the minds of those who look into what you would call your future and the changing of the age, as it has been called. We find that though this curiosity is most common, that however the signs which many describe that are to usher in, shall we say, this new age and experience are often given in a manner which generates much of fear and confusion among your peoples, for many see as signs those things that are catastrophic upon your illusion at this time. And here we speak of the geophysical changes, and those of powers and principalities that shall rise and fall and have their day. And yet we would say to you that though much of this may, indeed, be true, the signs that should alert each seeker to the change in experience are those which are borne within the geography of one’s interior mind and being.

It cannot be said with certainty that such and such exterior events will occur at a certain time within your illusion, and yet each seeker shall in its own time experience the shifting of perceptions and desires that shall signal to it that there is a transformation within that beckons most assuredly and which will offer to each a wider point from which to view the self and the illusion and the journey through the illusion.

Thus, we would say to you, my brother, that when you look outside the self and see the environment and populations of your planetary sphere changing in many various ways, that you utilize these illusory changes within your illusion as those guideposts which shall alert your inner self to that which awaits the inward eye and the renewed desire to be of service to those about you.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: I guess I’m still somewhat confused as to exactly what was meant by the “ice age.” It’s been my understanding that our scientists are now saying that we are beginning a so-called heat-up of the Earth and this seems somewhat in conflict with that. Could you comment on that?

I am Q’uo, and we find that there are many cycles of experience which in a physical sense are manifesting themselves within your third-density illusion. Some are consecutive and others are congruent with each other. When one looks at a wider view, shall we say, of your planetary influence and sees that which is occurring at various levels of consciousness and various positions upon your planetary sphere, there is an interplay or overlay of points of view that may be taken in both the practical and the metaphorical levels of viewing. Thus, there may be in some portions of your planetary experience the manifestation of increases or reduction in what you would call the planetary transfer of heat or manifestation of this transfer. These may be perceived for a relatively short period of your time or experience in one manner and be perceived in another manner at another time. Thus, we continue to refer to the relative unimportance of this type of research, for it is but the manifested reflection of the greater movement in conscious awareness that is at the heart of all manifestation upon your planetary influence.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: No, thank you. I think I understand now.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I was just curious if you were referring to the cycles that were referred to by a fellow named Hammaker—in his book? If you were, I could just give J the book.

I am Q’uo, and we have indeed been referring to many of these cycles, my sister, and others also which are not described within this entity’s work.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No. No, thank you.

I am Q’uo…

Carla: Wake up!

Q’uo: …and we appreciate the attempt to bring into conscious awareness each member of this group, for it is helpful to the group as a receiving mechanism and to any serving as instrument or transmitting mechanism to be focused upon that which is being shared from this group to our group and from our group to yours. Is there any further query at this time?

Questioner: Yes. I appreciate the information on meditation. Now tell me, is anything like a candle or incense when you meditate alone, is that beneficial in any way?

I am Q’uo, and we find, my brother, that there are many such items and portions of ritualized practice which one may utilize in practicing the art of meditation. You may choose any such item or practice that speaks to you of that which you seek in the practice of meditation. Thus, you make your own that which you include within your practice. Many have found these items to be of service in focusing the mind in a manner which does not waver and which serves as a stabilizer for the practice, shall we say.

May we answer further, my brother?

Questioner: That’s fine. One more short question. Two or three times a week in my activities, out of the corner of my eye I sort of see an aura at the tip of one of my fingers. Is there anything to that? Just out of the corner of my eye, only, not looking directly at it.

I am Q’uo, and again, my brother, we find that you have in a unique fashion discovered one manner in which you may view a portion of your own auric field or the electromagnetic pattern of energy that your seeking creates about your physical vehicle. The ability to see in a new way is fundamental to sharpening one’s visual perceptions that would allow the viewing of that called the aura. Your particular method has allowed your conscious perception to be averted in a fashion which then provides entry into your…

[Side one of tape ends.]

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in Love and Light. As we had completed our response to the query which was asked of us, we would then ask if we may respond in any further way, my brother?

Questioner: No more questions.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother, for your queries. Is there another query at this time?

J: If I understood correctly tonight from the session, it was mentioned that as we begin to meditate and seek the enlightenment, that many times we experience somewhat of a chaos either physically or mentally. And I didn’t quite understand the reason for that. Could you comment further on that, please?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. As one becomes consciously aware that the daily experience is that which contains the opportunity to progress upon the path of evolution, and as one begins within the meditative, contemplative, or prayer-filled state to consider the meaning of various experiences and thoughts within one’s daily round of activities, portions of these experiences then take on a new Light, as it were, for there is the desire to see beyond the exterior illusion within each experience. This desire propels one’s perception beyond that exterior in order that more of what you might call the true nature of the experience might be made known to the conscious seeker.

As this process continues and feeds to the conscious mind more of the nature of the daily experiences, the seeker may for a varying portion of time or experience see that about it in a new configuration which tends to confuse or fuse together with that manner by which the experience was previously perceived. Thus, there is the fusing of perception, that which is more exterior, with that which is less exterior or more toward the heart of experience that is Love. Thus, the seeker may find that its experience begins to change in configuration in the manner in which it is perceived, and, indeed, the manner in which it is experiencing. Thus, there is the continual, shall we say, transformation of experience and seeker as the process of seeking that which you have called enlightenment continues for each seeker.

J asked: “If I understood correctly tonight from the session, it was mentioned that as we begin to meditate and seek the enlightenment, that many times we experience somewhat of a chaos either physically or mentally. And I didn’t quite understand the reason for that. Could you comment further on that, please?” Then Q’uo said as one becomes consciously aware that the daily experience is that which contains the opportunity to progress upon the path of evolution, and as one begins within the meditative, contemplative, or prayer-filled state to consider the meaning of various experiences within one’s daily round of activities, portions of these experiences then take on a new Light, for there is the desire to see beyond the exterior illusion within each experience, so this desire propels one’s perception beyond that exterior in order that more the true nature of the experience might be made known to the conscious seeker. Q’uo continued by saying as this process feeds the conscious mind more of the nature of the daily experiences, the seeker may see that about it in a new configuration which tends to confuse that manner by which the experience was previously perceived, so there is the fusing of perception toward the heart of experience that is Love, so the seeker may find that its experience begins to change in configuration in the manner in which it is perceived and the manner in which it is experiencing, so there is the continual transformation of the experience and the  seeker as the process of seeking enlightenment continues for each seeker. On February 18, 2018, Q’uo described our heart of experience:

In your question, you are presuming that the conscious mind, through many years of processing catalyst, has developed a certain bias of its own that may or may not be in congruency with the bias of your subconscious mind. In most cases, for positively oriented entities, seeing positive connotations to catalyst, these biases will, very likely, be positive in nature as well, so that you become one who sees into the heart of experience, not being fooled, shall we say, by the exterior appearance of that which comes before your notice. For, indeed, within your third-density illusion, there is Love in every moment, in every event, in every entity, and it is your task, your challenge, your joy to find that Love there. It may be more or less difficult, depending upon previous choices and current catalyst, and the perceptions which you allow yourself to have.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: Although the meditator progresses along the path towards enlightenment, could he experience this transformation as possibly deep depression at times?

I am Q’uo, and we bring to this instrument’s mind the image of the elephant which is perceived by the blind man, each portion of the elephant seeming different from the other, yet each portion being a portion of one entity or concept. The concept of enlightenment has many avenues of entry, shall we say. The journey towards its realization moves through mountains and valleys, across deserts and through jungles. At one time or in one experience, the seeker may perceive a portion of the entirety which is radiant with Light, and the life experience is lifted high into that Light. At another portion of the experience or the journey the seeker may find it necessary to move into the lower or darker regions where the valley of the shadow of darkness as it is called may be that which consumes the seeker’s attention and seems the totality of its experience.

Yet each of these extremes, shall we say, and all points between are portions of one journey, and together may be seen as the entirety of that which shall be the total experience of a seeker throughout your third density illusion in order that each seeker may be provided with those opportunities for learning which are most appropriate with the current needs of that seeker.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: No, thank you. That analogy was very helpful.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. We have been made aware through another manner of transmission, shall we say, that there is the need to bring this session to a closing at this time, for there is a great amount of fatigue which is limiting one of the members of this circle from contributing the necessary attention and rejoicing in the experience. We thank each for asking our presence, and for allowing us to join you in your own journey of seeking this evening. We look forward to joining this group at future gatherings as you would reckon your time, and we leave this group at this time in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “A human being reading or speaking words of truth is not yet the transcendental Consciousness, and yet when that Consciousness has been attained, it is the human being who is the instrument through which it operates. People born of a woman are mortal, a human being almost completely separated from God and not under God’s care or Grace. But once this human being has attained the transcendental Consciousness, they become that very Christ and thereafter cannot be separated from It. They are one with It and they are It.

In many orthodox religious teachings, Jesus is set apart as the Christ in the sense of His being Christ consciousness separate and apart from any other individual as if He of His born humanhood were It. On the other hand, metaphysics tries to separate Christ from Jesus as if they were two. But Jesus is the Christ. The two are inseparable and indivisible one from the other to such an extent that it is almost forgotten that Jesus is Jesus, and He is usually referred to as the Christ.

So is it true of any and every individual who has attained conscious union with God. The only difference is in degree. It takes a person of the attained consciousness of a Jesus to be able to say, “I and God are one. Thou seest me, thou seest God that sent me.” Others do not quite attain that height of realization where they always speak out from the I: I am the way; I am the truth; I am the life; I am the resurrection; I am the bread; I am the wine; I am the water. That is the transcendental state of consciousness which has gone beyond the human.

In the earliest stages of illumination, there is a sense of twoness. There is a John, Bill, or Mary who is aware of a Presence and a Power—Something overshadowing them, Something helping, guiding, instructing, and governing them. It is within them and functions within and through them, but there is a higher state of consciousness, and that is when there is no person anymore.  There is just I voicing Itself.

That is the Consciousness Itself, and It only comes in the very highest moments of our experience when the Presence is the only being that I Am. It was then that Moses transcended humanhood and said, “I AM THAT I AM.” It was then that Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. I am life eternal. I am the resurrection.”

But even if we do not reach those mountain heights, let us be grateful that we have come to the place where we recognize that within us is Something greater than we are, Something greater than our mentality, experiences, or education, Something that can use our mind and body and has knowledge far greater than anything we might have acquired in school or through travel.

This is the goal: the realization that as a person we are a nothingness. We only become something when we are transcended or overshadowed by this Presence within. That consciousness, when it is attained, is the miracle worker. Therefore, the only demonstration is attaining it. When we have this Light, there is no miracle then in having health, supply, companionship, or home. Therefore, our entire life must be spent in attaining the Light, the transcendental Consciousness.”

Later this morning I vacuumed the first floor of my home.

This afternoon I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself and a small pot of         . My second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some paper towels and some Kleenexes.

Later this afternoon I went outside and transplanted one group of 3 Coleus Flowers and one group of 2 Coleus Flowers on the east side of the giant Sycamore Tree in the back yard. (So, I will need to go to Paul’s Fruit Market tomorrow to buy the 3^rd Coleus Flower.) Then I hand-weeded the Sun Patiens Garden in the Flower Fall in the front yard.

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 soul’s 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 LSove.

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Laitos channeling for this session comes from October 15, 1986:

(K channeling)

I am Laitos. We greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are pleased to see the conscientiousness with which this instrument has gone about the challenging process and are pleased to have established a firm contact with her. We are also pleased that she was able to perceive our greeting to her personally, which helps strengthen her confidence in the contact. We have enjoyed working with this instrument and feel that she has made good progress. It is our privilege to have worked with this group over many of your years for the purpose of working with new instruments and aiding their training, shall we say, as vocal channels in the service of the infinite Creator. We are pleased to be a part of this process with you.

At this time, we wish to address a few words to the instrument, even though she will shortly be in Venice. [Inaudible]… It is our wish to be able to communicate clearly with this instrument, and as she is uncomfortable with this taking place through her, we transfer the contact at this time. I am Laitos.

(Jim channeling)

I am Laitos, and we greet each again through this instrument in Love and in Light. We have been very grateful for being able to work with the instrument known as K, and we are aware that she is desirous of continuing her practice in the art of vocal channeling. We feel that there has been good discussion upon this topic between those of this group, and our comments are meant only to augment those concepts which have been presented thus far. In general, it is a helpful thing for a new instrument to have periodic exercise in the presence of an experienced instrument so that those small and sometimes medium-sized difficulties which occur in the practice of vocal channeling might receive the attention of experience and a sure hand at the appropriate time. This is the ideal situation and one which we endorse whenever it is possible. We are aware that the one known as K has moved quite a significant distance in her experience and practice in serving as a vocal channel, and has in many ways achieved enough proficiency and confidence that the exercising of her instrument would be possible in a carefully guarded situation, shall we say, in which there was not present the more experienced instrument.

However, we would also suggest as has been suggested that this guarding of the situation would take the form of utilizing the presence of at least two other entities who were not only in harmony of a stable nature with the one known as K, but also felt the open-hearted acceptance of this type of information and this means of its transmission. This kind of a situation is not that which is easily obtained, for the vagaries of the seeker’s path, and the choices that may be made upon it by any who travel it make gathering such a grouping of entities somewhat difficult. Even if such a situation were available to the one known as K, it would also be our recommendation that this new instrument also avail herself of periodic contact with this particular group for the purpose of reinforcing those basic principles which she has gained in this period of study and for the answering of those queries which are undoubtedly a part of her practice of this part, for as the practice continues, new experiences arise, and there is often confusion in the mind of the new instrument as to the most appropriate means of resolving each new experience, be it simply new and untested or a difficulty of some kind.

In this session Laitos said that they wanted to work with K in a way that would lessen her difficulties in becoming a vocal channel. They began by saying we have been grateful for being able to work with K, and we are aware that she desires to continue her practice in the art of vocal channeling, and we feel that there has been good discussion upon this topic between those of this group, so our comments are meant to aid those concepts which have been presented so far, for it is an helpful thing for a new instrument to have periodic exercise in the presence of an experienced instrument so that those difficulties which occur in the practice of vocal channeling might receive the attention of experience at the appropriate time, and this is the ideal situation and one which we endorse whenever it is possible, but we are aware that K has moved a significant distance in her practice in serving as a vocal channel, and she has achieved enough confidence that the exercising of her instrument would be possible in a carefully guarded situation, in which there was not present the more experienced instrument.

On June 10, 1982, Laitos suggested the presence of at least two other entities for each channeling session:

That to all we ask that the practicing of the opening of the—we correct this instrument—that the opening of the instrument be attempted only when there is a supportive group of at least two other entities, one of which is preferably more experienced. We also suggest this thought to all.

If the one known as K does not feel that there is available to her a stable situation of the nature which we have described, we might recommend that there is still work that can be done in the practice of a portion of the art of vocal channeling. That practice does not, however, take the form of the actual vocalizing of our contact as is ongoing at the present moment, but would rather take the form of setting aside regular periods of meditation on a preferably daily basis, during which our conditioning vibration might be mentally requested and we might continue to familiarize ourselves and our contact to the one known as K and allow this new instrument to refine her ability to perceive our contact though there would be no transmission of thought other than our identification. The experience would be primarily one of recognizing our contact and experiencing the conditioning vibration…

Laitos went on to say if K does not feel that there is available to her a stable situation of the nature which we have described, we might recommend that there is still work that can be done in the practice of a portion of the art of vocal channeling,  yet that practice does not take the form of vocalizing of our contact as is ongoing at the present moment, but it would take the form of setting aside regular periods of meditation on a daily basis during which our conditioning vibration might be mentally requested, and we might continue to familiarize ourselves and our contact to K and allow this new instrument to refine her ability to perceive our contact though there would be no transmission of thought other than our identification, so the experience would be one of recognizing our contact and experiencing the conditioning vibration. On September 23, 2000, Q’uo spoke of the value of experiencing the conditioning vibration:

There are others within the Confederation of Planets who have offered themselves over the years of this group’s history in a manner which may be seen as sending the basic vibration of Love that aids in each heart’s opening in some degree to the messages offered by other members of the Confederation. Some there are who have not chosen what you call the naming, who are unseen and unnamed, who have had their influence and continue to do so within this group’s circle of seeking. Each entity is available upon the mental request of any in this circle of seeking to join that seeker in the private meditation, not to speak or to communicate in words, but simply to lend the conditioning vibration which aids in the deepening of the meditation of those who call. This is our privilege and our honor, to aid each entity who calls in the meditative state. It is a steadying influence which brings a more focused approach for the seeker to the listening to the silence, to the one Creator, to the heart of the self.

[Tape ends.]

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “To us, it is given to understand how to rise above the battle between good and evil, to know how to still the storm, whether at sea or on land, whether a burning fire, an incoming tidal wave, or infection and contagion ravaging the land. To us, it is given to know how to say, “Thus far, and no farther,” and then to stand still, to retire within ourselves from the noise of the battle, without refuting, denying, or fighting, without ever wielding the sword. It is given to us to know that those who live by the sword shall die by the sword, and, therefore, we have put up our sword and will never again take out either a physical or a mental sword—not even a spiritual sword. In reality there is no power for us to oppose physically, mentally, or spiritually, so we need no sword. It has been given to us to know that we live and move and have our being in God in whom is no darkness at all, in whom is no warfare. It is given to us to know that the sovereign, divine remedy for all the ills of the world is to resist not evil.

Throughout all ages the world has been blessed with mystics who have made enduring contributions to the spiritual vision of the world, but just as the teaching found in this book cannot be understood by the masses, so the masses have not had the wisdom to heed these mystics or their teachings. No spiritual teaching can ever be understood, believed, or accepted by the unillumined mind which can only grasp what can be seen, heard, tasted, touched, or smelled. The unillumined mind cannot comprehend the spiritual presence or no-power because before spiritual wisdom can be understood, the Soul faculties must be opened and spiritual discernment aroused or awakened. All human beings are asleep—asleep in the belief of material and mental powers, asleep to the reality of spiritual being, to the transcendental and mystical Presence and Power which are called God.

The scriptures of every faith have revealed that there is a transcendental Presence which when embraced, encompasses our being and reaches our heart center, setting us apart from the world. Then the germs that lay low the world with grippe and flu do not come nigh our dwelling place, and even if momentarily they do, they are quickly removed. Alcoholism, drug addiction, and juvenile delinquency do not mar the peace and serenity of our household, and if they should touch it, they are quickly dispelled because we have learned how to hide ourselves in the secret place of the most High and live in an atmosphere of Love instead of hate, injustice, and inequality.

So it is that every spiritual healing is the result of one individual sitting in the Silence quietly, peacefully waiting, and then the Spirit comes through the consciousness of that one—the voice thunders in the Silence, and the Earth melts.

We become that one in proportion as we learn to be nothing, to be still, and to let the Light act in us and through us and as us. Someday, when this world comes to the place of solving its problems by meditation instead of by arms—by the sword—the Spirit will so illumine every situation that there will be no need for the knife or the pistol.

God does not impart glory to another; therefore, let us not attempt to be spiritually powerful, but be spiritually humble and let God’s Grace perform Its functions through us and as us. God functions through individual consciousness, and that becomes our consciousness when we have learned to be still enough to hear the thunder of the Silence.”

Later this morning I went outside and hand-weeded the Yellow Creeping Jenny Garden in the back yard. Then I hand-weeded the small Hosta Garden in the back yard.

This afternoon I went outside and used Whip Lash to weed the Liriope Garden next to the fishpond. Then I spread two bags of Red Cedar mulch in the Liriope Garden. Then I discovered that I needed another bag of Red Cedar mulch to complete the mulching. And I also decided to plant 6 more Coleus flowers at the base of the giant Sycamore tree in the back yard. So, I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought 1 bag of Red Cedar mulch. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market and bought 6 Coleus flowers. When I got home I spread the bag of Red Cedar mulch in the Liriope Garden, and that finished the mulching.

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

June 11

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 into 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn and Latwii channeling for this session comes from October 12, 1986:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you in the Love and Light of our infinite Creator. What a privilege it is to be able to speak through this instrument to you this evening and to share your life patterns for this moment. The blending of energies is most enhancing, each piece of the Creator enhancing the experience of each other portion. We are most grateful for your sharing of yourselves with us and only hope that our poor thoughts may be of some interest to you this evening. We were enjoying the peaceful centering of the energy of your group in silence and left you in that silence because those of Laitos were working with two in this group. We try not to step on each other’s toes, as it were, when one or more of the members of the Confederation, or indeed, when any other contact is working with the same entities we are.

It is rewarding to see that the concept of meditation in this group has not broken down to include only the concept of the channeled information, for, indeed, it is the silence that teaches, perhaps more than even the most inspiring words, just as it is the space between objects which allows objects to have dimension. We hope that you may bring that silence with you as a tool to use not in the dark with your eyes closed only, but in the harshest of daylights and under the most trying of conditions, for if there is a portion of you that remains in the silence of that which is most precious to you, then all else is but a shadow which moves across the sun at the center of your being, and no cloud is large enough to blot out the joy you may take in living, and if the silence be gone from the noon day, then you are lost to the hustle and bustle of your conscious daily thoughts. It is difficult to Love when one is busy. It is difficult to perceive or experience the consciousness of the Creator or to take part in the one original Thought which created you.

If you no longer have any silence in your heart, it is as though you were a king who could direct and control your kingdom in any way that you wished, and so you began to wish and one thing was added upon another, all things that at one time or another you had wished, all eventually manifesting in one way or another. And yet, as wealthy and powerful as a king may be, still there is a limit to what a king can perceive and enjoy, and so you end up being not the ruler of your life, but its servant, ministering unto your desires and moving through your days as your kingdom wills you to move. Your past desires have all come home to roost, and you have been trapped by your own snare. None of you who feels that these words have truth is alone in this perception, for it is the nature of your culture to distract yourself from the consciousness of the Love and Light of the one Creator. It is difficult to turn from the riches of an earthly, shall we say, kingdom and choose the bright and shining ideals of an unseen kingdom. They do not glitter in the hand, nor are they grateful to the touch. Pursued, they retreat. Those unseen values which you desire have no market value. It is difficult to explain the spiritual path to any who do not Love the silence already or at least hunger for that which cannot be held in the hand or assessed for material wealth.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the value of silent meditation. They began by saying it is rewarding to see that the concept of meditation in this group has not broken down to include only the concept of channeled information, for it is the silence that teaches more than the most inspiring words, just as it is the space between objects which allows objects to have dimension, so we hope that you may bring that silence with you as a tool to use, not in the dark with your eyes closed, but in the harshest of Light, for if there is a portion of you that remains in the silence of that which is precious to you, then all else is but a shadow which moves across the sun at the center of your being, and no cloud is large enough to blot out the joy you may take in living, and if the silence is gone from the noon day, then you are lost to the hustle and bustle of your conscious daily thoughts, yet it is difficult to Love when one is busy, for it is difficult to perceive the consciousness of the Creator or to take part in the one original Thought which created you. Then Hatonn said if you no longer have any silence in your heart, it is as though you were a king who could control your kingdom in any way that you wished, and so one thing was added upon another, and all things that you had wished eventually manifested in one way or another, yet as powerful as a king may be, still there is a limit to what a king can enjoy, and you end up being, not the ruler of your life, but its servant ministering unto your desires and moving through your days as your kingdom wills you to move,  for your past desires have all come home to roost, and you have been trapped by your own snare, but none of you who feels that these words have truth is alone in this perception, for it is the nature of your culture to distract you from the consciousness of the Love and Light of the one Creator since it is difficult to turn from the riches of an earthly kingdom and choose the bright and shining ideals of an unseen kingdom, for they do not glitter in the hand, nor are they grateful to the touch, and when pursued they retreat, so unseen values which you desire have no market value, but it is difficult to explain the spiritual path to any who do not Love the silence or hunger for that which cannot be assessed for material wealth. On August 22, 1982, Latwii described the Love and Light of the one Creator:

Indeed, the Love and Light of the one Creator which is ever present and available to each entity is a healing energy, for to become aware, in even a distorted degree, of the nature of this Love and Llight is to experience the wholeness and the healingness of the one Creator.

Yet, if you are dwelling in the silence to the extent that you can carry a small portion of it with you, it will not disturb you that many do not understand what motivates you. It will be enough that you have the opportunity to express yourself in Love to other portions of the Creator. What entities may think of you is irrelevant to the excellence of your effort. Indeed, what you yourself estimate to be your excellence is irrelevant, for in the world of invisible things, where truth and beauty lie waiting to be found, all that is needed, all that is relevant is your seeking, that is your power and your peace. It is your very identification, for you are what you desire. May your desires flow from you in a clean and pure stream, glittering and bubbling and moving in life into the great ocean of all that there is, that when all things are prepared as is necessary for you, each and every desire may be yours in full, your birthright claimed.

Then Hatonn said if you are dwelling in the silence to the extent that you can carry a small portion of it with you, it will not disturb you that many do not understand what motivates you, for it will be enough that you have the opportunity to express yourself in Love to other portions of the Creator, so what entities may think of you is unrelated to the excellence of your effort, and what you estimate to be your excellence is unrelated, for in the world of invisible things, where truth and beauty lie waiting to be found, all that is needed is your seeking that is your power and your peace, so it is your identification, for you are what you desire, and may your desires flow from you in a pure stream and moving into the ocean of all that there is, that when all things are prepared as is necessary for you, each desire may be your birthright claimed. On October 23, 1983, Hatonn described the nature of our birthright:

We are not saying that you deserve to be of a certain nature, that you are worthy, that you have earned the nature of manifested Love. You have done nothing to earn this—it is your birthright. It is within you; most have forgotten it. Therefore, a great portion of your seeking and the touchstone of your ascent upon every mountain of truth is recognition, for each truth will be recognized rather than learned. You know already all of truth, for you are truth; you embody the Creator; you manifest the very nature of Love, and you change constantly.

Before we leave this group, we would like to exercise the new instrument, and so we would close through the one known as K. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again, my friends, in Love and Light through this instrument. We deem it a great privilege to be able to speak through yet another instrument who has offered herself in service as a vocal channel. It is our desire to share our humble thoughts with you for whatever help they may be to you on your various paths toward the One. We are ever grateful for additional opportunities for this.

My friends, the time is near when we will no longer have the need to speak through a vocal channel, for our thoughts will be known to you, but for the present, as we seek to aid your planet in its birthing pains, shall we say, it is our privilege and our service to share our thoughts with you through those who have offered themselves as vocal channels. We are glad to be able to be with you in these times, my friends, and are grateful for your desire to share with us those things which are eternal. Many are the distractions upon your paths, my friends. Many are the things of the moment which capture the attention, which pull you one way or another. There are many things of great interest which are of but transient importance. We know that you are aware of this, my friends.

We urge you to hone your awareness of those things which are transient and those things which are eternal. We watch your growth, and we appreciate your efforts in focusing on those matters which you deem to be of true importance. We are glad of the opportunity to offer you our humble opinions, and, as always, my friends, we would urge you to take our words lightly, to take to your hearts only those words which you feel to be of value to you, for it is not our intent to lay on you heavy burdens. Your illusion is heavy enough, my friends, and we would count a privilege to be able to lighten your load, not to add to it.

At this time we would take our leave of this instrument and your group, leaving you in the joy of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Let your hearts be merry, my friends and rejoice, for truly your path may be and your burden may be light, as it is written in your holy works. Farewell, my friends, in Love and Light. I am Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. We are overjoyed to be able to join your group this evening, and we thank you for this opportunity. It is once again our privilege to be able to offer ourselves in the capacity of attempting to answer those queries which you may find of interest in your own seeking. We would repeat the suggestion of our brothers and sisters of Hatonn that you neither take our words too seriously or regard them as being more than our opinions. With that disclaimer, we would be happy to attempt to respond to those queries you may have.

C: Latwii, could you speak to me briefly about living within the moment?

I am Latwii. In brief, my brother, it is a good idea. We shall perhaps elaborate. It is a common feeling and tendency among your people to look backward and forward as the present moment is experienced. The present moment then becomes a recapitulation of the history of one’s existence, and when this does not occur quite frequently the present moment becomes a consideration of the possibilities which the future might hold for one. Thus, the present moment is that which offers to an entity the opportunity to look backward and to assess that which has been accomplished, to look forward and to consider that which is possible to accomplish, and all that has been done and shall be done will be done within a present moment.

That present moment, then, is that which has power within one’s experience. The power of that present moment may be harnessed in any manner in which you choose. Indeed, we affirm the efficiency of looking upon the experiences one has gathered and gleaning from them those attitudes, and biases, and considerations which are helpful in the process of spiritual evolution, for by such contemplation is one able to benefit from experience. We can also affirm the helpfulness of taking what one has learned from experience and projecting possibilities as to how future moments might be enhanced by applying these lessons which have been learned. Thus, one prepares oneself to share the harvest of one’s experience in a helpful manner.

C asked: “Latwii, could you speak to me briefly about living within the moment?” Latwii replied by saying it is a common tendency among your people to look backward and forward as the present moment is experienced, so the present moment becomes a reliving of the history of one’s existence, and when this does not occur frequently the present moment becomes a consideration of the possibilities which the future might hold for one, for the present moment is that which offers to an entity the opportunity to look backward and to assess that which has been accomplished, to look forward and to consider that which is possible to accomplish, and all that has been done and shall be done will be done within a present moment. Then Latwii said the present moment is that which has power within one’s experience which may be harnessed in any manner that you choose, for we affirm the efficiency of looking upon the experiences one has gathered and gleaning from them those considerations which are helpful in the process of spiritual evolution, for by such contemplation is one able to benefit from experience, and we can affirm the helpfulness of taking what one has learned from experience and projecting possibilities as to how future moments might be enhanced by applying these lessons which have been learned, so one prepares oneself to share the harvest of one’s experience in a helpful manner. On January 9, 2006, Q’uo described the nature of the present moment:

We find all that this group has discussed this day to be appropriate. We do not have any desire to limit you in how you wish to present the information. We would only say to you that to balance the intensive dedication of each of you to manifesting, it is a good idea to spend a significant amount of your time becoming aware of the present moment, relaxing all tension or worry, and simply spending time knowing that all is well and that all will be well. Lighten up and find the light touch, the laughter, the bliss, and the joy that are only available when you are focusing on the present moment. Have fun with this, my friends, just as we are having the time of our lives working with you.

However, as you well know, my brother, the present moment is also that which is complete within itself, and in this light needs no addition from the past or from the future. The present moment may become, if it is one’s desire, a finely focused experience of all that one is, and all that one can be, and all that one has been. In this focus of experience, the full potential of one’s being is brought to bear upon one’s thinking and the boundaries or limitations of one’s thinking or one’s beliefs are offered the opportunity to expand. As one begins to create a space in experience in the present moment, which is undiluted by the past or the future, one then harvests potential. One in this harvest may become inspired, shall we say, by that which is and that which exists within one’s being. In such present moment experiences, one may fully appreciate the completeness which is the foundation of any entity’s being.

Of course, my brother, you are aware that the meditative state is that state which offers the easiest access to such present moment experiences, for such experiences of the power of the present moment and the perfection of one’s being are those which become available to an entity when there is no coloration of past, or future, or thought of any kind to form a filter through which the present moment must be perceived. Thus, within the present moment experience one may, in a manner of speaking, not only recharge the battery of one’s personal energy, but may discover that that battery is fully charged at all times, and in this discovery, and from this discovery one may then move into the daily round of activities inspired and ennobled, shall we say, so that the ability to utilize what has been learned is enhanced and the ability to gather further lessons available in each present moment is also enhanced. Thus, my brother, you see how the present moment is the moment of power within any seeker’s experience. Within that moment, one may turn the eyes backward, forward and may also rest the eyes within the moment of one’s being.

Then Latwii went on to say the present moment is also that which is complete within itself, and in this light needs no addition from the past or from the future, for the present moment may become a focused experience of all that one is, and all that one can be, and all that one has been, so in this focus of experience the full potential of one’s being is brought to bear upon one’s thinking and the limitations of one’s beliefs are offered the opportunity to expand, yet as one begins to create a space in experience in the present moment, which is undiluted by the past or the future, one then harvests its potential, for one in this harvest may become inspired by that which is and that which exists within one’s being because in present moment experiences, one may appreciate the completeness which is the foundation of any entity’s being. Latwii continued by saying the meditative state is that state which offers the easiest access to present moment experiences, for such experiences of the power of the present moment and the perfection of one’s being are those which become available to an entity when there is no coloration of past, or future, or thought of any kind to form a filter through which the present moment must be perceived, for within the present moment experience one may discover that its battery is fully charged at all times, and from this discovery one may move into the daily round of activities inspired, so that the ability to utilize what has been learned is enhanced, and the ability to gather further lessons in each present moment is also enhanced, so you see how the present moment is the moment of power within any seeker’s experience, and within that moment one may turn the eyes backward, forward, and may rest the eyes within the moment of one’s being. On November 17, 1991, Q’uo described more layers to the present moment:

Each entity in each experience is, in part, working internally to place the present moment into a context which will yield the maximum amount of information. This information is usually heavily biased toward comfort and well-being. However, the mind can be increasingly trained to retain catalyst, which is presented to the mind, which perhaps has little, if any, survival use, but which does indeed aid in spiritual learning.

And the way to become more able to do this work in consciousness is to persist in experiencing and studying one system, be it of myth, science, philosophy or ethics, or any system whatsoever, which the seeker is personally and individually drawn.

For you are, indeed, living on the eve of that which shall come to be. It is almost impossible to describe the nature of the shift of consciousness from basic third density to basic fourth density. This shift shall take you with it, if you dwell now on planet Earth. Therefore, we encourage the twin awarenesses that it is a good time to be watchful and that it is a good time to celebrate. That which astrology or any “ology” might do is aid in development of that sharply tuned hunger for the truth revealed within the present moment. How we do encourage each to more and more dwell and marinate the complete entity in that present moment? It may seem odd that the mind’s structure is such that the entrance to the present moment is often round about, moving not through the invisible door into the fully accepted present, but rather going completely around the entire structure of living to surprise the present moment only after the long walk has sharpened the appetite.

May we speak further, my brother?

C: Here of late I go through long spells where I have trouble remembering anything of the past. Things seem like this is how they’ve always been. And actually, it’s been very peaceful to feel that way, but at times I will get a feeling of guilt, thinking that I should have more feelings than I do about the past. But they’re just not there.

I am Latwii, and we perceive a comment upon your experience that may also benefit from a comment from our point of view, though we have not been queried specifically. We may suggest that when you have the ability to look upon those experiences that are a part of your history, shall we say, without a feeling of joy or sadness, you may assume that those experiences have been utilized in an efficient manner, for when there are emotional charges, shall we say, that are apparent and connected to any experience, then one may assume that there is work in that experience which one may undertake, for the emotional colorations that one feels for any thought, experience, or entity are distorted perceptions that are distorted in such and such a fashion in order that an entity will be drawn into the process of balancing these perceptions, so that the final product of all experience is a quiet acceptance that may in metaphysical terms be translated as unconditional Love.

May we answer further, my brother?

C: No. That’s reassuring, and I say thank you because I know that many times I’ll ramble instead of putting a question together, and you always pick it up for me. But I would ask you just this one last thing.

I find at this particular time an attraction to a person who I see as myself ten or twelve years ago—the person whose development is pretty much where mine was. Can you give me any indication on why I’m feeling pulled towards something like that?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my brother. We find in this instance that the attraction of which you speak is one which has numerous—we search this instrument’s mind for the proper terminology—components which are feeding in to the attraction. Some of these are those which we would rather allow your own discovery to bring to the conscious attention, for this is a part of your current experience which offers to you the opportunity for growth which we would not wish to take from you. We may suggest in one aspect of this experience that as you see a portion of yourself in another which you have yet to balance, shall we say, in your own experience, but for which you feel great affection, you may expect that this recognition of a portion of yourself in another has the potential to offer to each of you an opportunity to move from one point of viewing to another which is larger, shall we say, in scope.

May we answer further, my brother?

C: No, thank you very much.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

K: I have a couple of questions, Latwii. The first has to do with emotional charges attached to past experiences or people. I know there are a number of experiences in my life which are painful to me to remember, and I have some more feelings attached to a number of people, some that are very close to me. I wonder if you can comment for me on the balancing process that needs to be done in these situations?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. When one sees within one’s emotional responses a charge which is significant, whether it be positively expressed or negatively expressed, one may look upon such charge as that which is one-half of the full point of view which, when attained, will represent balance within one’s being. Thus, if one wishes to work upon this balance, one may in the meditative state or in solitary contemplation look upon that charge and examine its nature. If one can recall specific instances in which this charge was developed, these experiences then may be relived, shall we say, within the mind and may, indeed, be enhanced to the point that the charge is magnified to the greatest extent that is possible. This charge then may be likened unto the pendulum which has been moved…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and am once again with this instrument. We shall continue.

The pendulum then may be seen as having been moved to the fullest position upon its arc on one side of the perpendicular, shall we say, so that there is now the potential of swinging in a full arc to the opposite side. The magnified emotion then may attract in one’s mind the polar opposite. This is a natural process which one may then allow to increase within the mind until the opposite emotion is of equal strength. When both may be seen within the mind, you may then view each as a portion of a continuum, the entire continuum offering to you the opportunity of experiencing more of the one Creator. If you can accept yourself completely for containing within your being this range of opportunities for knowing the one Creator, then you have utilized the emotions that have guided your progress.

K asked: “I know there are a number of experiences in my life which are painful to me to remember, and I have some more feelings attached to a number of people, some that are very close to me. I wonder if you can comment for me on the balancing process that needs to be done in these situations?” Latwii replied when one sees within one’s emotional responses a charge which is significant, whether it be positively expressed or negatively expressed, one may look upon such charge as that which is one-half of the full point of view which, when attained, will represent balance within one’s being, and if one wishes to work upon this balance, one may in the meditative state or in solitary contemplation look upon that charge and examine its nature, so if one can recall specific instances in which this charge was developed, these experiences may be relived within the mind and may be enhanced to the point that the charge is magnified to the greatest extent that is possible.

On December 19, 2020, Q’uo described the balancing process:

If you are concerned with your actions in general, and how they provide catalyst for others that you may not be able to have such a communication with, we would recommend that you retire to the meditative state, look within your being, and see how you might become the other self, or other selves that would experience your sharing of the nature of yourself which you describe as catalytic.

In this fashion, as you begin to partake in the nature of the other being’s reality, you may be able to determine how your behaviors affect others, and thereby adjust your behaviors, if this is your desire. Or you may, indeed, go further than this, and use the perception you have gained by becoming the other self to engage in the balancing process, so that you take that behavior that you offered to another, and balance it by increasing its potency, its expression, so that it may then begin to attract to you, the opposite of its expression, that you also allow to grow in magnitude until it equals the other expression, then accept yourself as a balanced being in this regard.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: Can you tell me if it’s possible as a result of having a strong emotional charge attached to particular people or situations and having those remain unbalanced, is it possible to throw off the course of a planned incarnation? I guess I mean throw off to the point of it being a waste.

I am Latwii, and we feel that we are aware of your query. If our response does not reflect this, please query further. If you have emotional responses to any entity or event which become strong enough to be recorded in your memory, and which have not found the resolution in balance, one may expect to see these types of responses repeated within the life pattern until work with them is sufficient to achieve balance. When an incarnation has been completed, there is seen those patterns which have achieved balance and those which yet await balance. The latter then becomes a portion of the work to be accomplished within the next incarnational pattern. Thus, we do not see efforts within any incarnation as being wasted, shall we say, but as providing further opportunity for learning and for serving others.

May we respond further, my sister?

K: If an entity has a particular planned service or mission, as it were, a plan for a particular incarnation, is it possible to miss that by failing to utilize catalyst efficiently or failing to learn a lesson prior to the time that this service was to be accomplished?

I am Latwii and in general we would respond to your query by suggesting that such is possible, for within any incarnational pattern, there is the possibility of ignoring any catalyst that one may find within the incarnational pattern. Indeed, within an incarnation, the nature of free will is such that an entity may move in any pattern which it chooses, however, there is the momentum of the pre-incarnational choices which tends to bring before the entity’s notice the catalyst which has been designed to provide the entity with the opportunity to learn and to serve in such and such a fashion according to the pre-incarnative choices. It is a somewhat difficult task to ignore or reject what one has placed within one’s path. However, this is possible if a strong enough exercise of will is manufactured.

There are lessons that then develop from ignoring pre-incarnational patterns which may have been totally unplanned, yet may also add to the entity’s ability to learn and to serve, whether the service is that which was planned previous to the incarnation or not. The possibilities of any incarnation are infinite, for within the incarnation free will and that which has been predetermined mix and blend, weaving various patterns at various times so that there is a constant interplay of attraction and repulsion.

K asked: “If an entity has a particular planned service or mission, as it were, a plan for a particular incarnation, is it possible to miss that by failing to utilize catalyst efficiently or failing to learn a lesson prior to the time that this service was to be accomplished?” Latwii said such is possible, for within any incarnational pattern, there is the possibility of ignoring any catalyst that one may find within the incarnational pattern, for within an incarnation, the nature of free will is such that an entity may move in any pattern which it chooses, but there is the momentum of the pre-incarnational choices which tends to bring before the entity’s notice the catalyst which has been designed to provide the entity with the opportunity to learn and to serve in such a fashion according to the pre-incarnative choices, but it is a difficult task to ignore what one has placed within one’s path, yet this is possible if a strong enough exercise of will is manufactured. Now Latwii said there are lessons that develop from ignoring pre-incarnational patterns which may have been unplanned yet may also add to the entity’s ability to learn and to serve, whether the service is that which was planned previous to the incarnation or not, but the possibilities of any incarnation are infinite, for within the incarnation free will and that which has been predetermined blend, weaving various patterns at various times so that there is a constant interplay of attraction and repulsion. On February 18, 2007, Q’uo spoke of the nature of attraction and repulsion:

Investigation has shown that which seems to be solid matter is actually made up largely of a plenum or a space in which there is no mass, very thinly populated by energy vortices. These energy vortices are the atoms and molecules that make up the cells of your body as well as the material of all other things that you can see, feel, touch, taste, and smell.

These energy fields cooperate together and nest within one another in various ways according to the nature of attraction and repulsion, forming the universe that you see. Scientific inquiry has proven that all parts of the universe communicate and are connected with all other parts of the universe, so that the universe is one thing. This is not given to you by priests or prophets but by your scientists, who have become the priests and prophets of your culture, if we may give it that name.

What is the nature, then, of these vibratory patterns that arrange themselves hierarchically so as to create orders of magnitude, creating everything from the atoms and molecules within the cells of your body to the star systems within your galaxy? We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have identified the nature of these hierarchically unitive and harmonious energy fields as being that of Love.

The energy that created the stars is that of Love. The energy that created you is the energy of Love. That does not define Love, for if Love is all that there is, there is nothing to which to compare it. There’s nothing from which to contrast it. In its undistorted form it is forever a mystery, unable to be plumbed by centers of consciousness which are aware of themselves. The truth of the universe lies most profoundly in the unknowable reaches of the mystery of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.

Yet the universe is unitive. And it is unitive in a certain way. It is unitive holographically. Any one spark of the infinite Creator contains the entire nature of the one infinite Creator. Every cell of your body sings the song of the one infinite Creator. The suns in their courses sing the song of the one infinite Creator. There is fullness to the universe that is intense, as if every particle and iota of the universe were stuffed to bursting with the Love and the Light of life.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: No, thank you, that was very helpful. I have one further question, though. Can you comment for me at all on the nature or the cause of very strong positive attractions to various people or specific people?

I am Latwii and am aware of your query, my sister. It is quite a large subject, for all things and people which come before one’s notice within the illusion in which you experience your current incarnation are a portion of the self in one degree or another. The attraction of the self to the self is that which is a natural portion of the creation, for the creation, as you know, is of one thing, that great Thought of Love which motivates all that is and is the fabric of all creation.

If you are able to perceive in a relatively clear fashion more of the heart of your own being within yourself and are able then to look with this same eye upon those about you and recognize a clearer reflection of that which each is, then you may feel an attraction which is unhindered by the disguises, shall we say, that are the personalities which allow entities to pursue lessons in a unique fashion. Thus, it is not so much the uniqueness of entities which attracts one to another as it is a clearer and clearer expression of that which is the same for all, that being the expression of the Love of the one Creator.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: No, that’s very helpful. Thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Latwii, and we find that for the moment we have exhausted those queries which those present have brought to our attention. We thank each of you for your gifts of the query which opens yet another avenue of seeking the one Creator. We have enjoyed our speaking with this group this evening. We always look forward to the opportunity to join this group, for it is a merry one which enjoys even our silly sense of humor. We can’t get laughs in every bar in the universe, you know. We always hang out with our friends—we too have our attractions.

We shall leave this group at this time, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light that we have found here and in all portions of the one Creation. We are those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “There had to be a Jesus before the power of non-resistance could be made evident. There must always be someone through whom the spiritual Light can shine and who can stand still and bear witness to the presence and power of God as the only Presence and the only Power. Throughout all ages, the illumination of a Moses, an Isaiah, a Jesus, John, or Paul has resulted in the revelation of harmony to all those able and willing to receive it spiritually,

Looking back and thinking of their developed spiritual consciousness, we would expect perhaps that the influence of these illumined souls would have permeated the whole world and brought harmony and peace to it; yet, as we all know, even while these great Lights were walking this Earth, the greater part of the world was experiencing untold disasters. That is because no matter how high a degree of spiritual consciousness a person attains, they can bless and help only those who will bring themselves into the orbit of their consciousness. As they become a living witness to the Word made flesh, they make no attempt to exert power: they remain still and behold the activity of God as It touches the lives of all those around them.

If there is a disaster about us, it will go on and on until it exhausts itself unless one among us knows this truth. If it is to be stopped dead in its tracks, there must be one who can stand still and realize that the grace of God, besides which there is no power, is in operation; there must be one to be completely silent and bear witness to the Spirit which stills the waves.

It is true that a thousand may fall at our left hand and ten thousand at our right hand. There is not much that we can do about that at this present moment except to prove in our individual experience that because of our conscious oneness with God none of these things can come nigh our dwelling place.

The spiritual word cannot penetrate the human mind; but we can and will help the world rise above war and disease by being the light in our own family, not preaching to them or trying to force them into our way of thinking, but by holding our peace within ourselves and retiring from the battle between good and evil by going within and realizing that only in the degree that we resist not evil can the peace that passes understanding descend upon us.

If necessary, let us sit in a chair all day and all night, until the Spirit of the Lord is upon us and dwells in us. Then after this principle of resist not has been demonstrated in our family, even to some small extent—because it can never be demonstrated beyond their ability to accept it and live up to it—and we know that we are capable of rising above the battle and retiring in God, our consciousness of God’s presence makes itself felt by bringing some measure of harmony to our community.”

Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought 8 bags of Western Red Cedar mulch. My second stop was a Kroeger’s where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought more food for myself.

When I got home, I hand-weeded around the Astilbe Plants in the Astilbe Garden. Then I spread 5 bags of the Western Red Cedar mulch in the Astilbe Garden.

This afternoon I was once again honored to co-host the European Law of One Telegram Group. I read Ra Session #77 to the group, and some of the questions that they asked me were: “What are the archetypes?” “How do we use the archetypes?” “When I meditate on a problem, how do I know when it is my subconscious mind or my conscious mind that give me the answer?” “What is the nature of the virgin censor as part of the accoutrements used in the Ra contact?” I look forward to our next session when we will be studying Ra Session #78, and we will be getting into a deeper study of the archetypical mind.

Then I went outside and used Whiplash to weed the Striped Lariope Garden in the back yard. Then I hand-weeded around the Striped Lariope. Then I spread two bags of Red Cedar mulch over the Striped Lariope. Then I use Huff and Puff to blow the weeds and mulch off of the rocks on the border of the Striped Lariope Garden.

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 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 Latios channeling for this session comes from October 11, 1986:

(K channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet you once again, my friends, in the Love and the Light of our infinite Creator. As always, my friends, it is our great pleasure to be among you this evening for the opportunity of working with the instrument as well as with all those of your group, for we appreciate your service, my friends, for the work that you do as vocal channels is, shall we say, near to our hearts, for as you serve the Creator in your role of vocal channels, so you also enable us to serve by speaking through you. It is our pleasure also to greet those of you who are not speaking this evening, but who are contributing by their presence. We acknowledge and appreciate this service also.

At this time, we wish to ask if there are any queries with which we may help? Is there a query at this time?

R: Is this Laitos?

I am Laitos and greet you, my brother. May we answer further?

R: No, I wasn’t ready to form a question. I just asked that. I just wanted to say, “Hello.” It’s been a long time. It’s good to hear you.

I am Laitos, and I thank you for your greeting, my brother, and we also return it to you. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Hold onto that contact… Never mind… Thank you for waiting. I’m sorry, but I thought I had a list of questions here from someone, but I don’t, and I can’t remember what it was he wanted to know.

I am Laitos, and I thank you, my sister. Is there any further query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Laitos, and again we thank you, my friends, for the opportunity of speaking through this instrument. At this time we will transfer the contact. I am Laitos.

(Carla channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet you in Love and Light through this instrument. We have greatly enjoyed working with the one known as K, for in this session we have been able to exercise the instrument to its, shall we say, full capacity so that the instrument may begin to have confidence in the limb upon which it sits. Or more properly we should say, since the instrument and each instrument jumps off of the limb each time it channels, that it is the experience of moving out of control that you may hope to get used to. It is a blessed thing to be able to blend our experience with yours at this time.

We can think of each other as the other torn half of a perfect shape, for each entity that you encounter is your other half. Each of you is a miniature of each group to which you find yourself belonging, to your culture and your race, your species and your archetypical souls, and finally the universe itself. Is it any wonder then, that you are all such good channels for each other, sharing with each other one universe in so many wondrously various facets that the picture seldom stales and wonder is but an eye-blink away? We have been urging the new channel to open the mind, to let down the armor, to become vulnerable and without fear so that we may touch her mind with our own. Each of you could use this frame of mind that your mind may be touched by the thoughts and the hands of the Creator in every entity you meet.

In this session Laitos speaks about how they wish to train new instruments that can metaphorically jump off of a tall limb so that they can share the perennial message of seeing the Creator’s Love in everyone. They began by saying we have enjoyed working with K, for in this session we have been able to exercise the instrument to its full capacity, so that the instrument may begin to have confidence in the limb upon which it sits since each instrument jumps off of the limb each time it channels, and it is the experience of moving out of control that you may hope to get used to, for it is a blessed thing to be able to blend our experience with yours at this time. Then Laitos said we can think of each other as the other torn half of a perfect shape, for each entity that you encounter is your other half, and each of you is a miniature of each group to which you find yourself belonging to: your culture, your race, and the universe itself, so is it any wonder that you are all such good channels for each other, sharing with each other the one universe in so many various facets that the picture seldom stales, and wonder is but an eye-blink away, for we have been urging the new channel to open the mind, to let down the armor, to become vulnerable and without fear, so that we may touch her mind with our own, so each of you could use this frame of mind that your mind may be touched by the thoughts and the hands of the Creator in every entity you meet. On June 13, 1974, Hatonn described how they channel the thoughts of the Creator:

The system which this Confederation uses for communication is not a simple computer as you know it but a construct in a timeless dimension of thought. The thoughts of the Creator which those of the Confederation wish to program and the destination intended for these thoughts can be given instantaneously and delivered instantaneously. There are other abilities that go with this communications system. The limitations of this system are those of your letters. We speak to you as though by telephone and you can answer, and we can adjust our information to adapt to yours. The communications which Geller received were only capable of being given within certain preset parameters. If the answer had not been prepared it could not be given.

We are within your time dimension. We are here on a special mission. We are the teaching [inaudible] of a very vast Confederation. The complexity of this Confederation is only an illusion, as each one of us, by means of our awareness, is constantly and completely aware of the ongoing attitudes and progress of each of the other portions of the Confederation. We do this by achieving, through mediation, our awareness of unity with each other, as we are one in the Creator.

We would transfer at this time. I am Laitos.

(K channeling)

I am Laitos, and am with this instrument again. We wanted to say a few final words through this instrument so that she would have the additional opportunity to gain confidence in this process. We wish to remind you, my friends, that we are all bound together by Love in the service of the one Creator, for Love is all that there is. It is that which motivates us as well as that which enables us. It is also that which rewards us, shall we say, as the fruit of our efforts to serve. The message that we bring you is simple, my friends, and yet there are many words to fill that simplicity, and so we strive to ever share that simplicity with you in yet another way. We thank you again for serving with you, my friends—we correct this instrument—for serving with us, for our services are a means of journeying ever closer to the Love and the Light which is all things. At this time, we leave this instrument and your group, my friends, in that Love and Light of the one Creator. Peace be with you, my friends, this day and always. We are known to you as those of Laitos. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “Our purpose is to be the transparency through which the Light—not we, but the Light—performs Its mighty works, to be the instrument through which the Divine can manifest and express Itself on Earth as It does in heaven. We are never the doer; we are never the actor; we are always the vacuum through which Spirit flows. Let us never for a moment believe that by our spiritual endowments we will ever attain personal or spiritual power. There is no room in spiritual living for egotism or for the exercise of personal power. God does not give Its power to another. God does not give Its glory to another. The power, the glory, and the dominion always remain in God; and we are but instruments, humble servants or transparencies, through which that Light may shine.

God can find entrance to the world only through consciousness. There was just as much God in the world before the time of Moses, but it had no effect upon the Hebrew people until Moses opened his consciousness, received the Light, and then was led by God, after which the liberation of the Hebrews was achieved. It was not that there was no God in Egypt—God was there, but there was no consciousness to receive and release God into the world until Moses had his illumination. There had to be a Moses before the Hebrews could be freed.

There was just as much God on Earth before the time of Jesus, but it was only when a Jesus appeared and God-consciousness could flow through Him that the blessings took place—not only for that time but for all time. Had there been no Jesus in the ship at sea, the storm would not have been stilled. True, in time it would have worn itself out, but it would not have stopped so quickly. It was stilled because of the presence of Jesus Christ. What was it in Jesus Christ that stilled the waves? Were the waves stilled because He had power over them, or because He knew the truth which makes people free and could, therefore, stand still and let the omnipresence and power of God perform Its function?

There had to be a Jesus before the power of non-resistance could be made evident. There must always be someone through whom the spiritual Light can shine and who can stand still and bear witness to the presence and power of God as the only Presence and the only Power. Throughout all ages, the illumination of a Moses, an Isaiah, a Jesus, John, or Paul has resulted in the revelation of harmony to all those able and willing to receive it spiritually.”

This afternoon I went outside and pulled up the small, dead Lilac Bush stalks next to the Moss Garden in the back yard. Then I used Whip Lash to weed the remaining Lilac Bushes.

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Laitos channeling for this session comes from October 10, 1986:

(K channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet you once again, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. It is our great pleasure to be with you once again for the purpose of working with the new instrument which is beginning to gain a little of what you call experience in the matter of vocal channeling. We are pleased to be working with this instrument and, indeed, with each of you. It is our pleasure and our joy to have the opportunity of sharing this service with you. At this time, we would transfer the contact to the one known as Jim. I am Laitos.

(Jim channeling)

I am Laitos and greet each of you again in Love and Light. We have been working with each instrument present as each needs and requests such assistance. We have found that with each instrument there is a firm foundation which has been built on the desire to be of service to others, and this foundation has been elaborated upon by each present as experience in this way of service has been gained. Each instrument, then, upon the same foundation of desire to be of service to others, fashions a structure, a framework, a channel, if you will, through which our contact and other contacts may move. As each of you is unique in the makeup of what you feel is significant in the life experience in general, and in the spiritual seeking in particular, the form that your structure or channel takes is completely unique unto each of you. In this uniqueness, we take our joy, for we are through such individuality able to impress our message which is always and ever the same.

Always do we speak of that great original Thought, that thought of love of the one Creator which binds all of the creation and all entities within it together as portions of that one Creator and that one great Thought of Love. Each of you in your daily patterns and in the larger patterns and rhythms of your incarnation, and, indeed, throughout the many series of incarnations that you have experienced, gather to yourself biases in your thinking and experiences within your being which then serve as resources upon which you draw as you do all that you do, as you think all that you think, and as you serve as vocal channels in this particular manner. Thus, from each we find a great library of resources of experiences, of thoughts, of joys, of sadnesses, of what you call success, and what you call failure, and much, much more that we may utilize in expressing the simplicity of the great Thought of Love, the one Creator as a general principle which motivates all of the many complexities of your illusion and of others.

In this session Laitos speaks of the service of vocal channeling as a means of sharing the one great Thought of the Love of the Creator. They began by saying we have been working with each instrument as each requests such assistance, and we have found that with each instrument there is a foundation which has been built on the desire to be of service to others, and this foundation has been elaborated upon by each present as experience in this way of service has been gained, so each instrument upon the same foundation of desire to be of service to others, fashions a channel through which our contact and other contacts may move, for as each of you is unique in the makeup of what you feel is significant in the life experience, and in the spiritual seeking in particular, the form that your channel takes is unique for each of you, so in this uniqueness we take our joy, for we are through such individuality able to impress our message which is always the same. Now Laitos said we speak of that great original Thought of Love of the one Creator which binds all of the creation and all entities within it together as portions of that one Creator and that one great Thought of Love, so each of you in your daily patterns and in the rhythms of your incarnation, and throughout the many series of incarnations that you have experienced, gather to yourself biases in the experiences within your being which then serve as resources upon which you draw as you do all that you do, as you think all that you think, and as you serve as vocal channels in this manner, for from each we find a library of resources of experiences of joys, of sadnesses, and more that we may utilize in expressing the simplicity of the great Thought of Love, the one Creator as a general principle which motivates all of the complexities of your illusion. On June 2, 1985, Latwii spoke of the nature of the Thought of Love:

Begin first with the foundation of all creation, that is, unity. From this unity the one Creator, the one original Thought of Love, springs all the infinite variety of forms of life and directions for each. Look then to any which seem of a fearful or doubtful nature. See there the Creator that rests as well within your own being. Love that Creator as if It were yourself, for in truth It is. See that which is feared; bathe it in Love, and see it as self, bless it, bid it travel its journey, and then bathe your own being in the Love and the Light of the One. In so doing, you have affirmed the unity of all creation, for in truth that is all that there is.

Thus, as you move through your incarnation you gather a certain kind of momentum, shall we say, that may be seen as the present moment’s culmination of all that you have experienced. This is a very, very rich resource, my friends, and we rejoice in the uniqueness which signifies each of you one from the other, and yet is an emanation of the same Thought of Love. Thus, in the vocal channeling type of service, we feel that it is most important that each instrument feel as much acceptance and Love for its own experiences and identity as it does for those of others, for in this way we are aided in our attempt to unify those many divergent thoughts and experiences which each of your people gathers about it, and as you serve as an instrument in this process and are able to see the love and joy within your own experience, and as you are able to see it as equal to any other’s experiences, then are we more able to utilize that which is yours to offer into this service by means of the transmission of thought. We thank you, my friends, for offering yourselves in the full range and depth and breadth of richness which you have fashioned for yourselves, and which we find a most valuable portion of this manner of serving others.

Then Laitos went on to say as you move through your incarnation you gather that which may be seen as the present moment’s culmination of all that you have experienced, and this is a rich resource, and we rejoice in the uniqueness which signifies each of you one from the other, yet it is an emanation of the same Thought of Love, for in the vocal channeling type of service, we feel that it is important that each instrument feel as much acceptance and Love for its experiences and identity as it does for those of others, for in this way we are aided in our attempt to unify those many divergent thoughts and experiences which each of your people gathers about them, and as you serve as an instrument in this process and are able to see the Love and joy within your own experience, and as you are able to see it as equal to any other’s experiences, then are we able to utilize that which is yours to offer into this service by means of the transmission of thought, so we thank you for offering yourselves in the full range of richness which you have fashioned for yourselves, and which we find a valuable portion of this manner of serving others. On August 12, 1987, Laitos said:

We might suggest that the most efficacious of level of consciousness for this particular kind of transmission of thought concept is that in which the mind is alert, and the body as relaxed as is comfortably possible. The mind needs a kind of flexible perception that is at once sharp or acute and yet pliable, so that the one serving as instrument might become aware of thoughts and while speaking these thoughts be able to allow further thought to enter the mind complex.

At this time we would continue in our attempts to give further exercise to the instrument known as K, for we are quite pleased with the progress that she has made and wish to offer her another opportunity to continue in that progress. Thus, we shall speak a few thoughts through the one known as K. We shall now transfer this contact. I am Laitos.

(K channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet you once again through this instrument. My friends, it is important to us to know that your desires lie in the direction of service to others, and we see that each of you has evolved upon that chosen path and have proceeded for a great length of your incarnations. Thus, the foundation once begun has been built upon quite sturdily until a structure exists that will withstand the buffeting effects of time and the difficulties that you each encounter upon your journey. The structures that you have built for yourself may also function as a refuge, shall we say, for you from these same buffeting effects [inaudible], for you have built around yourselves [inaudible] protections, armories, as it were, of Light, and thus shielded you continue on your journey, taking refuge in your shelter as needed.

My friends, we urge you not to fear to take refuge in the shelter when you feel it is needed, for rest is a good thing and needful, and it is not well to push yourselves beyond your limits of strength, whether of physical complex or other portions of your mind/body/spirit complex. Nor is it wise to push yourselves beyond the protections of Light which you carry with you at all times. Yes, my friends, to rest and take refuge in the shelter which you have built for yourself of yourself is not giving up. It is not retiring from the journey upon which you have evolved and are proceeding. Rather it is, indeed, a part of the process which, when ignored, can lead to further difficulties and obstacles. Thus, my friends, we encourage you to be merry, to be joyful. Do not concern yourself with great goals or ideas that you must pursue these goals at a certain pace, for what you need will come to you. So, my friends, you need only to take the experiences of your life as they come to you, but not worry yourselves with pursuing them.

At this time, we would leave your group as we have encountered it, in Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. Be merry, my friends, rejoice with us in the love and the light [inaudible]. We are known to you as those of Laitos. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

(K channeling)

I am Latwii, and I greet you once again, my friends, in the Love and the Light of the one Creator. It is our great pleasure to be with you once again this evening, for we enjoy working with your group. It is our pleasure to be able to take part in the exercising of the instrument known as K for the purpose of her service as a vocal channel. We are pleased that she had adapted so easily to our vibration, for it is sometimes perceived as a little stronger than some other contacts. At this time we wish also to exercise, as it were, the other members of the group also, and will transfer the contact at this time. I am Latwii.

[Pause]

(Jim channeling)

I am Latwii, and greet you, my friends, in Love and Light through this instrument. We apologize for the delay, but we were having some difficulty making contact with either instrument, for both wished for the other to have the opportunity. We are happy that one was finally able to say yes. We would at this time attempt to answer any queries which may have been raised in the minds of those present this evening. May we attempt to answer any such query at this time?

Carla: There was a perception that I had that I would like to talk to K about. Was it a correct perception?

I am Latwii, and we find that in answering this query we have to tread somewhat close to the Law of Confusion, but we are hopeful that we shall be able to accomplish this high wire act without falling upon the wrong side, shall we say. My sister, you have perceived a portion of that which you feel was in effect, and we would suggest that it might be helpful to converse with the one known as K in order that not only should you be able to share that which you have perceived, but that you should also be able to enlarge that which you have perceived.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query?

K: I have a personal question. I’ve been told by a couple of people that they think I am what we call a wanderer, and I wonder if that’s something that you can comment on at all?

I am Latwii, and it seems that we cannot move away from that Law of Confusion this evening. We find ourselves once again face-to-face with that great Law of Free Will which assures each that what is gathered about one in the incarnational pattern shall be useful to such an entity because it has been chosen and experienced through the process of free will choice. That of which you speak is not directly a portion of experience gained during an incarnation, but is that which precedes and perhaps even motivates an incarnation.

We attempt to respond to your query by suggesting that the feelings which you have concerning this subject are those signposts which are of most aid in determining whether this, indeed, be true. We would suggest that in your own meditation and within your own feelings there are contained the tones of feeling that will indicate to you in a clear sense the status or source of which you speak. We do not mean to be obscure, my sister, but we find that in this instance there is yet discovery of your own that might be helpful in laying a foundation that we may enlarge upon perhaps at a later time.

K asked: “I’ve been told by a couple of people that they think I am what we call a wanderer, and I wonder if that’s something that you can comment on at all?” Latwii said we find ourselves face-to-face with the Law of Free Will which assures each that what is gathered about one in the incarnational pattern shall be useful to such an entity because it has been experienced through the process of free will choice, but that of which you speak is not a portion of experience gained during an incarnation, for it is that which motivates an incarnation. Latwii went on to say we attempt to respond to your query by suggesting that the feelings which you have concerning this subject are those signposts which are of aid in determining whether this is true, so we would suggest that in your meditation and within your feelings there are the tones of feeling that will indicate to you the source of which you speak, for we do not mean to be obscure, but we find that in this instance there is a discovery of your own that might be helpful in laying a foundation that we may enlarge upon at a later time. In 99.10, Ra spoke of the use of signposts:

However, as has been noted there are many signposts in the deep mind indicating to the alert adept the more efficient use of catalyst. As we have said, the Logos of your peoples has a bias towards kindness.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we thank you, my sister, for putting up with our verbiage. May we attempt a further query?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Latwii, and we are very happy that we have been able not only to join this group this evening, but that we have been able to make our contact known to the one known as K. It is a joy to work with an instrument which is so eager to be the fool. We are also fools, my friends, and find great mirth and happiness in such foolishness, for in this way of being, one may see the creation as, indeed, being a joyful unity in which all may play any part that might be chosen, and these parts may be traded, may be enlarged upon, may be discarded, may be ignored, and may be enhanced in whatever way or manner has meaning to the entity. And, indeed, the play of each entity is that which glorifies the one Creator in a manner which is only possible because each moves as freely and as happily through the creation as foolishness allows.

At this time, we would take our leave of this instrument and this group, rejoicing always in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Latwii. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “We become the light of the world in proportion to our degree of illumination. Some students attain that illumination quickly, and some wait and wait for the great experience to descend upon them. When it comes, however, it comes suddenly, although the preparation leading up to it may have taken many, many years of studying and meditating during which time we seem to have made little or no progress. From the first moment, however, that we seriously turned to the attainment of realization, our progress has been rapid even though, to outward appearances, imperceptible.

It is like removing a mountain. From the first shovelful of dirt that is carried away, progress is being made in leveling the entire mountain. But a mountain is made up of countless shovelfuls of earth and stone, and not until many of these have been removed is it apparent that any noticeable progress has been made.

So it is that when we are aware of the density of human selfhood, we know that we are moving a mountain of ignorance, and although a beginning is made with our first serious meditation, progress will not be too evident for a long, long time. Then all of a sudden, it seems to burst upon us like a flash of light.

When we have been touched by the Spirit, it is evident in the light shining fourth from our eyes and the glow on our face. Outwardly our life changes, and our relationships change; our nature changes; our health changes; and sometimes even our physical form changes, but only because such changes are the outer manifestation of an inner glory, an inner light, which has been attained by contacting the God within which has once again established us in Eden.”

This morning I went on an errand run with my first stop was at Kroeger’s where I bought some food for myself. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought more food for myself and some flowers for the Wuthering Heights Garden in the front yard of my home. My third stop was at PNC bank where I withdrew some cash from my checking account. My fourth stop was at Speedway Gas where I filled Stanley’s gas tank with premium gasoline. When I got home, I transplanted the flowers into Wuthering Heights Mound. Then I deadheaded the dead blooms of the older flowers. Then I watered them with fertilized water.

This afternoon I went on another errand run where I mailed a donation, at the Middletown Post Office, to a friend of mine who lives in Los Gatos, California. My second stop was at Speedway Gas Station where I filled all of Stanley’s tires to 32 psi. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some staples for the stapler that I bought there this morning.

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

June 8

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Laitos channeling for this session comes from October 8, 1986:

(Jim channeling)

I am Laitos and greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of our infinite Creator. We have been working with the one known as K in anticipation that she might be open to the possibility of initiating a contact this evening. We may suggest to this new instrument that the faculty of analysis is, though still somewhat significant within this new instrument, that which is far less of a difficulty in this new instrument than in most. We would therefore commend this new instrument for its ability to allow the analytical portion of the conscious mind to be put aside temporarily. This is a general faculty which this new instrument has utilized far better than most and though it has at this working presented somewhat of a difficulty in the overall sense, we are very happy that this new instrument has taken so quickly, shall we say, to the reservation of judgment and analysis. At this time, we shall attempt to contact the one known as K, and will transfer this contact at this time. I am Laitos.

(K channeling)

I am Laitos, and I greet you, my friends, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are with this instrument again for the purpose of sharing ourselves with you in the mutual service of the infinite Creator. We ask again to remain open [inaudible] so that what we have to say will flow easily through this instrument, [inaudible] for, indeed, such is the work and service of the vocal channel, [inaudible] source, to its destination. My friends, let us be merry and quiet. We may all be quiet is not [really] very difficult [inaudible]. So too may the flow of your lives be with [inaudible] and difficulty, you can better accept that which comes to you [inaudible]. For it is in acceptance that [inaudible] that your path [inaudible] wise even though [inaudible] seeming difficulties, still you may confuse [inaudible] by accepting that which comes to you in going the way that is before you.

At this time, we will transfer the contact again to the one known as Jim. We transfer this contact now. I am Laitos.

(Jim channeling)

I am Laitos and greet each of you again in Love and Light. We are very happy with the progress that this new instrument continues to show, and we would congratulate her on her ability to be just as the type of which she spoke. It is heartening to us to be able to work with one who is so receptive to the underlying attitude that supports the vocal channeling process. At this time, we would open this session to those queries which those present may find value in the asking. May we begin with a query?

K: I don’t have a particular question. I wish I did because I feel a sort of confusion, more an unsettledness about what the whole process—I guess I’ve been feeling more nervous, I guess, than I did before, and I don’t understand the way I’m feeling. So, I don’t have a specific question, but do you have any comments on that at all?

I am Laitos, and, my sister, we may reassure you that this feeling is not that which should alarm, for now, as you have become more firmly aware of the nature of this process of becoming a vocal instrument, it is becoming apparent to you both intellectually and emotionally that the process is, indeed, occurring, and that there is the transfer of information proceeding through your instrument. As you begin to realize that this process is ongoing and is a process in which you play a part, but a minor part, you now begin to feel something of what we might describe as a combination of excitement and anxiety. This is a natural response to a process which is quite unlike most experiences which you have had during your life and is one which tends to move toward the center of your being and resonates outward with a feeling of recognition that is not completely accepted by the conscious mind complex as yet.

We can recommend that you simply allow these feelings to move through you, much as you allow the information which we have to transmit move through you, without undue concern as you become more and more familiar with this process and are able to accept its validity completely within your being. As you gather those subjective verifications of which those present have discussed, you will become more comfortable at the emotional level, shall we say, and this shall then become more of an accepted experience for you.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: As you know, I’m still feeling the doubt, what Carla terms as the great conspiracy, the fear that I’m just saying things that are coming into my head from myself… I guess I still wonder, am I  really vocalizing the thoughts that you’re transmitting to me?

I am Laitos, and we would suggest that we in our work with any new instrument also play a part which tends to cause a new instrument to feel that this conspiracy, as it has been called, is indeed just that, and that the new instrument is providing material that is merely from its own resources, the conscious and the subconscious minds. This is due to our, shall we say, experience at working with new instruments and our finding that to be able to initiate contact through a new instrument most easy, and it is well to use more of that new instrument’s experience, both the current experience and previous experiences, and to utilize the new instrument’s manner of phrasing as it communicates in its normal day-to-day life.

This is a process which we find enables a new instrument to speak the words which are given to it, and to allow the contact to remain open long enough that it is slowly being able to gather confidence, and this confidence will continue to build until new concepts are able to be offered through the new instrument. Always, however, do we continue to use, even with new concepts, phrases and words and experiences which the new instrument may be able to provide to aid the communication. Thus, you are partaking in that which seems to bring up the possibility of a conspiracy within any new instrument’s mind. We may assure you, however, my sister, that you have been quite accurately representing our thoughts, using, of course, your own words and means of phrasing.

K asked: “As you know, I’m still feeling the doubt, what Carla terms as the great conspiracy, the fear that I’m just saying things that are coming into my head from myself… I guess I still wonder, am I really vocalizing the thoughts that you’re transmitting to me?” Laitos replied we would suggest that we, in our work with any new instrument, also play a part which tends to cause a new instrument to feel that this conspiracy is just that, and that the new instrument is providing material that is from its own resources, the conscious and the subconscious minds, for this is due to our experience at working with new instruments and our finding that to be able to initiate contact through a new instrument is easy, and it is well to use more of that new instrument’s experience, both the current experience and previous experiences, and to utilize the new instrument’s manner of phrasing as it communicates in its normal life. Laitos went on to say this is a process which enables a new instrument to speak the words which are given to it, and to allow the contact to remain open long enough that it is able to gather confidence, and this confidence will continue to build until new concepts are able to be offered through the new instrument, but we continue to use new concepts, words, and experiences which the new instrument may be able to provide to aid the communication, so you are partaking in that which brings up the possibility of a conspiracy within any new instrument’s mind, yet we may assure you that you have been accurately representing our thoughts by using your words and means of phrasing. On August 1, 1988, Laitos described the way to work with a new instrument:

Again, we would simply recommend that the request be given to us by you that we seek to blend our vibrations in a manner which is more comfortable. We are as inexperienced in blending our vibrations with the instrument as a new instrument is in perceiving and speaking those concepts which we transmit. We are able to ascertain a general vibrational frequency with the necessary anomalies in each instrument, but in many cases are unable to specifically adjust our vibrations to each unique facet of a new instrument, and, therefore, request that each new instrument give us a feedback, shall we say, and request adjustment in such and such a fashion, in order that we may blend our vibrations in a manner which is more comfortable to the new instrument.

May we answer further, my sister?

K: No, that’s very reassuring. Thank you.

I am Laitos, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query?

Carla: I wonder if you could shed some light on what it is I am perceiving when I say—because I don’t have any words for it—that I can see the energy move when people are channeling in a room? I can see it move from channel to channel and so forth. I don’t actually see a thing, but I feel it in some way that I don’t know how to… I don’t have any words. What is being generated? What is happening?

I am Laitos, and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware, your abilities to sense the feelings of others have been present for most of your incarnation. We may suggest that you have utilized a form of this empathic ability in your ability to be able to sense the placement, presence, and occasionally the nature of these contacts. You are much likened to a being which has sent out from its heart tiny filaments of feelingness which permeate the physical and metaphysical space in which you reside at any given time. When there is a movement of energies, especially of the metaphysical nature through this lacework of filament, you are alerted that such is occurring, and it is as though the room in which you dwell has become an extended body for you, so that the movement of energy of the nature of which we generate during these contacts is perceived by you as a movement within your own body or being. Thus, it does not feel precisely as though any particular sense is telling you of such movement, but that instead it is as though your entire body records movement through it much as though you are aware of the beating of your own heart.

Carla asked: “I wonder if you could shed some light on what it is I am perceiving when I say—because I don’t have any words for it—that I can see the energy move when people are channeling in a room? I can see it move from channel to channel and so forth. I don’t actually see a thing, but I feel it in some way that I don’t know how to… I don’t have any words. What is being generated? What is happening?” Laitos said as you are aware, your abilities to sense the feelings of others have been present for most of your incarnation, and we suggest that you have utilized a form of this empathic ability in your ability to be able to sense the presence and the nature of these contacts, so you are like a being which has sent out from its heart tiny filaments of feelings which permeate the physical and metaphysical space in which you reside, and when there is a movement of energies, especially of the metaphysical nature through this lacework of filament, you are alerted that such is occurring, and it is as though the room in which you dwell has become an extended body for you, so that the movement of energy of the nature of which we generate during these contacts is perceived by you as a movement within your body or being, but it does not feel as though any sense is telling you of such movement, but it is as though your body records movement through it much as though you are aware of the beating of your heart. On April 22, 1984, Latwii described the nature of empathic abilities:

The quality of which you speak is one which is uniquely expressed in your being and that is your empathic ability. The one known as Jesus has great appeal to your distortions, and on occasions which honor this teacher such as this particular day, your devotion to His teachings and the praise of His work and life is that quality which is the motivator, shall we say, of the focus of your empathic ability. You experience that which is read and become the entity spoken of. In some degree this quality is available to each who worships, yet the intensity of the experience is dependent upon the devotion to the one known as Jesus, and the sensitivity of the one who worships. Since you have both qualities in great degree, it is possible for you from time to time to experience that of which you have spoken.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: That was very helpful. I don’t need another go at that one. I have a way to understand it now. So, it’s an anomaly, and it’s nothing I have to write about in the book, and that’s good. Okay.

The other thing that I wanted to know is just why have you been stimulating me so strongly? I’ve been getting a lot of conditioning, and I haven’t been getting any words or anything, just a lot of conditioning. Just a keeping the hand in? Every time I asked who it was, it was Laitos. That’s you, right?

I am, indeed, Laitos and have been working with you, my sister, as we have been working with each instrument within this dwelling. Each, however, receives a different kind of assistance, for each is working upon slightly different facets of the same phenomenon. With your particular instrument, we find that it is often helpful to stimulate, as you call it, the more experienced instrument in a manner which will allow it at any future time, as you would call it, to pursue the practice of vocal channeling with increased facility. In your particular case, we are working with the deeper levels of your mind complex in order to aid the transmission of word-by-word thoughts. We are, you might say, at once sensitizing your instrument and stabilizing it as well.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No. I want to thank you for helping me. I’d like to be better very much.

I am Laitos, and we thank you, my sister, for allowing us to work with you in this capacity. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I do have one more. Something I was thinking about writing in the book, and I’m just not sure whether I should cover it or not. So, any comment would be helpful. People have an incredibe array of ways of registering conditioning. A lot of the ways can scare people, even though they’re harmless. The hair on the legs stands up, or people cry, or their eyes water uncontrollably, or they see a zigzag of green on the left side and a zigzag of blue on the right side. It just goes on and on. I will have to do a lot of listening if I try to write about it. And these things can scare you if you don’t know that it is merely the side effect of another intelligence settling into your metaphysical and physical bodies. What I fear is that people will start manufacturing these symptoms because I told them what they’re supposed to feel. I don’t want to give people troubles that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Could you comment?

I am Laitos, and we may agree that your analysis of the conditioning phenomenon is basically accurate, that is, that any means by which our contact is perceived by an instrument is a means which is a by-product of both our actual contact with the instrument and the instrument’s chosen—and this is usually of a subconscious nature—manner of perceiving such contact. Often an instrument will have a subconscious belief that any contact from entities that are unseen would be one which would cause a certain amount of fear or discomfort or a sensation in this or that location which then would signify such contact had been perceived. These beliefs are often difficult to trace to their origin, for within the subconscious minds of all entities of your density there resides what might be seen as a group consciousness that is aware upon the subconscious level of the ability to contact a great variety of entities which may be removed by distance and density from the one of third density who perceives this contact.

Thus, if such suggestions are made to those who might become new instruments that a contact with those who would speak through such a new instrument might be felt in such and such a manner, this then might indeed influence the manner in which such an instrument would perceive a contact if it were to pursue this type of service in its future. This is not a great difficulty, but could in some cases confuse a new instrument in that it would be consciously overlaying a preconceived idea of how the contact would occur, and this preconceived idea then might for a period of time interfere with the inborn, shall we say, choices or beliefs which the entity had provided for itself in the event that it would choose to serve as a vocal instrument. This confusion would at some point need to be resolved within the entity so that one manner or another of perceiving a contact such as our contact might be set upon as that way which becomes familiar and comfortable to the instrument, and becomes then an aid in its gathering of confidence and proficiency in serving as a vocal instrument.

Carla asked: “People have an incredibe array of ways of registering conditioning. A lot of the ways can scare people, even though they’re harmless. The hair on the legs stands up, or people cry, or their eyes water uncontrollably, or they see a zigzag of green on the left side and a zigzag of blue on the right side. It just goes on and on.

Laitos went on to say if such suggestions are made to those who might become new instruments that a contact with those who would speak through a new instrument might be felt in a certain manner, so this might influence the manner in which an instrument would perceive a contact if it were to pursue this type of service in its future, but this is not a great difficulty, yet it could confuse a new instrument in that it would be consciously overlaying a preconceived idea of how the contact would occur, and this preconceived idea might interfere with the inborn beliefs which the entity had provided for itself in the event that it would choose to serve as a vocal instrument, for this confusion would need to be resolved within the entity so that some manner of perceiving our contact might be set upon as the way which becomes comfortable to the instrument, and it becomes an aid in its gathering of confidence and in serving as a vocal instrument. On November 30, 1984, Latwii shared some forms of conditioning:

The conditioning which we have utilized with you in the past has been a generalized form of making our presence known by means of activating certain areas within the head and neck complex. The type of conditioning which we utilize for the vocal channel is a refinement of this conditioning in that the conditioning is somewhat less physically perceivable. That allows, shall we say, a smoother carrier wave and the appearance of our thoughts upon it is your signal to repeat those thoughts. Of course, it is quite difficult to discern whether or not it is our thought or yours which is appearing within your mind at the moment at which you expect the thought to appear. May we assure you that our thoughts are quite like your own, and by simply speaking those thoughts, you will develop your ability to discern our thoughts and to speak them.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: Yes, I would like to know how you would feel when I finished the rough draft of working with each chapter title, giving any comments of this sort of nature that you might feel appropriate in order that I may, in a book on channeling, use whatever thoughts I find helpful in your comments?

I am Laitos, and we would be happy to aid your effort in whatever way we could without influencing your own free will choices, and we would be happy to present our opinions according to the way in which the information is sought, that is, we shall be happy to speak within the scope of your queries and the work which you have done, without adding to it that which you have not in some way touched upon as a result of your own creative efforts.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: I’ll look forward to working with you. Thank you.

I am Laitos, and we are looking forward to this shared activity as well. Even though this instrument is somewhat dubious as to its ability to serve in this fashion, we shall look forward to working with this instrument as well.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: I merely say to the instrument, “Dooby, dooby, dubious.” [Laughs] Thank you, Laitos.

I am Laitos, and we have been hoping that this instrument would allow us to speak just a few additional words without becoming too concerned about its future task or present confusion. We can assure each present that this activity that is of vocal channeling is one which shall be utilized in an increasing fashion throughout much of the work which is proposed in what you call your future. We are very happy to work with each instrument, as we have mentioned previously, in whatever manner each instrument requests, whether the request is conscious or unconsciously stated.

Therefore, we will seek to bring each instrument, insofar as we are able, to the current limits of its ability and then provide an opportunity to extend those limits in some degree. Thus, the practice and the art of being that known as the vocal instrument is that which is dynamic in that the surrender of the personal will is that which is ongoing and is that which may continue for each instrument at any time that it is willing to open yet more fully to the opportunities which are naturally presented to any entity who seeks to be of service to others, no matter the vehicle chosen, whether it be vocal channeling, healing, or any other service.

We thank each present for allowing us to speak with you this evening and to work with each as vocal instruments. At this time, we feel that it might be appropriate to bring this time of work to its conclusion, and we shall do so, thanking each once again with our whole and happy hearts for allowing us to join you in yet another portion of your seeking. We are known to you as those of Laitos, and we leave you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Thunder of Silence is: “If we attain the consciousness of God, we discover that there is nothing but God, God appearing as flowers, God appearing as the clothing on our backs, God appearing as harmonious relationships, God appearing as the perfect functioning of our minds and bodies. Fighting and battling do not bring this to pass. All that is necessary to bring this into experience is for us to put up the sword, to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

There is no higher goal attainable on Earth that an inner communication with this Presence that never leaves us or forsakes us. It does not send us food, clothing, or housing. It is food, clothing, and housing. It does not lead us to a fortress or a high tower; it literally is the fortress and high tower. There is no sending of anything; there is no giving of anything, except the giving of Itself.

When the realization of the omnipresence of God is attained, there is freedom from worry, fear, lack, and limitation. If a need appears, we retire within and tabernacle with this Presence, and in due time, It will appear outwardly as the very form necessary to our experience.

As we come to this place in consciousness where we are able to relinquish human might and power, human opinion and judgment, a divine Grace, invisible, yet perfectly tangible to the person experiencing it, takes over. We cannot see this transcendental Spirit, hear It, taste It, touch It, or smell It, yet It is here, and It is now. We feel It, and we know It. When we let go of our human rights or human will or desires—even the good desires—and absolutely resign ourselves to God’s will, It rushes in as if there were a vacuum, and when It takes over, we can feel Its every movement coursing throughout our body, right through the muscles and veins down to the nails. We are one with the rhythm of the universe, and all is well. All that God has is now flowing through us out into this world as a divine Grace, bringing to us all that is ours and bringing us to all those to whom we belong.

So, we learn that we need take no thought for those things of this world; we need not fight either aggressively or protectively. We can stand still and think no thoughts—just be receptive and let God’s thoughts flow to us and permeate our being. And then our work will be accomplished. But I must remind you that Spirit is never working for us. It is working in and through us as we yield and surrender ourselves—even our thoughts—so that God can take over.

Those who have attained even a slight measure of Christhood or spiritual realization are in the world but not of it. They know very little of the sin, disease, tortures, lack, and limitations of human life and are untouched by it tragedies in a personal way They are aware that these things exist, and because of their God-contact they can help others—they feed the multitudes, heal and comfort them—but they themselves do not require supply or comforting or any of the things the human race finds so necessary. The have surrendered personal might and personal desires and have accepted the Love of God, the Grace of God, and the government of God as the all and only in their lives.”

This morning I went outside and transplanted the six Astilbe into the Astilbe Garden in the back yard, and I hand-weeded all of the Astilbe Garden. Then I watered the Astilbe with fertilized water. Then I put netting over the Day Lily Garden on the south side of the garage to keep the deer from eating the Day Lilies.

This afternoon I went outside and hand-weeded the Wuthering Heights Mound. Then I took all of the fossils, geodes, and the center piece that says: “The Earth Laughs in Flowers” by Ralph Waldo Emerson off the area under the bird bath, and I put two bags of topsoil in the same area. I used the garden rake to even out the topsoil, and then I put the fossils, geodes, and center piece back in that area.

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

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.
