I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Quanta channeling comes from July 29, 1987:

(Jim channeling)

I am Quanta, and we greet each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are pleased to be able to make contact with this instrument, and we thank each for opening each instrument to our use. The one known as N and the one known as W have been aware of our contact, but due to the period of time which has elapsed since our last gathering, these new instruments have felt somewhat hesitant in the beginning of the contact, and this is understandable, my friends, for the skill that is being gained in this type of service is that which responds most effectively to the periodic exercise of the instrument in order that the confidence of each new instrument might be increased with each exercising.

We are pleased that the new instruments have maintained their dedication to this service over the period of time which has elapsed since we were privileged to speak through each new instrument. This dedication and perseverance are the primary quality which any new instrument may utilize as the foundation stone of the structure of its service to others. Without the dedication to continue and the will to persevere, no talent, no matter how great, or varied, or inspiring, can continue to burn as a beacon to others. Even the most rudimentary and basic vocal channeling skills can be added unto on a continuous basis by the one which burns with the desire to hone this skill that it might be of service to others. We commend each instrument for maintaining that dedication, and we look forward, as you might say, to working with each as each gathering brings new opportunities for expansion of these skills.

In this session Quanta spoke about the nature of vocal channeling. They began by saying we are pleased that the new instruments have maintained their dedication to this service over the period of time which has elapsed since we were privileged to speak through each new instrument, for this dedication is the quality which any new instrument may utilize as the foundation stone of the structure of its service to others, yet without the dedication to continue and the will to persevere, no talent, no matter how great, can continue to burn as a beacon to others, and even the basic vocal channeling skills can be added unto on a continuous basis by the one which burns with the desire to hone this skill that it might be of service to others, so we commend each instrument for maintaining that dedication, and we look forward to working with each as each gathering brings new opportunities for expansion of these skills. On April 15, 1987, Quanta spoke of the value of the channeling skills:

We feel that we have given that which is of most benefit for the present time. It is the perseverance that is most helpful for the student of meditation and the student which seeks to utilize the clarified mental attitude achieved in meditation for the exercise of the vocal channeling art. Thus, we may only suggest at this time that the dedication to the regularized meditation be continued. This type of perseverance shall prove to be the greatest ally, we feel, for any instrument, be it new or more experienced.

At this time, we would like to exercise the instrument known as N in order that it might refresh its own abilities and add to that confidence which is building within the inner being. At this time, we would transfer this contact to the one known as N in order that we might speak a few words through this instrument. I am Quanta.

(N channeling)

[The initial channeling was not transcribed.]

We would like to transfer to the one known as W, [inaudible] and thank this instrument. We are those of Quanta.

(W channeling)

[The initial channeling was not transcribed.]

At this time ,we would like to transfer to the one known as Jim. We are known to you as Quanta.

(Jim channeling)

I am Quanta, and we greet each again in Love and Light through this instrument. At this time ,it is our privilege to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to those queries which may be upon the minds this evening. Again, we would like to remind each that we offer but our opinion which we do not wish to have any confuse with absolute truth. Please take that which we offer as opinion and as that which we have gained in our own seeking. May we begin with a query at this time?

W: How does one seek absolute truth?

I am Quanta, and, my sister, there is that which we call the one Creator which appears to us and to our teachers to be the one absolute Source of all that is, and each conscious being at some point within the experience of consciousness decides to seek that known as the Source or the Truth and to seek it in terms that can be comprehended and can be utilized as means by which the individual consciousness might move over greater and greater vistas and views and points of viewing that which is the creation, that which is the self, and that which is the journey of the self through the creation. This is a natural function of the conscious mind. However, we have discovered that for each portion of what seems to be truth that we gather unto ourselves in order to complete more of the puzzle of our existence, the greater grows the mystery of the nature of the one Creator from which all comes.

Thus, we find ourselves situated within a paradox. We seek to know as do all seekers of truth, and we gather pieces of that truth, and we move forward upon the journey of evolution, so our steps seem sure, for our experience serves us well, yet oftentimes we find that as we continue our journeys, that which was true at one time most often gives way to a greater truth that seems in comparison to be far surer and more reliable than any previous piece of knowledge we may have gathered. Thus, our advice and that which we have to offer to each seeker is to gather all possible sources of information, to consider them in meditation, and in contemplation, and in prayerful attention, and then to be moved by that which resonates with the inner being and to realize that the movement which shall be the fruit of such considerations is a movement into mystery which, as far as we can see, is infinite in nature.

W asked: “How does one seek absolute truth?” Quanta replied there is the one Creator which appears to us and to our teachers to be the one Source of all that is, and each conscious being at some point within the experience of consciousness decides to seek that known as the Source and to seek it in terms that can be utilized as means by which the individual consciousness might move over greater points of viewing that which is the journey of the self through the creation, for this is a natural function of the conscious mind, but we have discovered that for each portion of what seems to be truth that we gather unto ourselves in order to complete more of the puzzle of our existence, the greater grows the mystery of the nature of the one Creator from which all comes. Quanta said we are situated within a paradox, for we seek to know as do all seekers of truth, and we gather pieces of that truth to move forward upon the journey of evolution, so our steps seem sure, for our experience serves us well, yet often we find that as we continue our journeys that which was true at one time often gives way to a greater truth that seems to be more reliable than any piece of knowledge we have gathered, so that which we have to offer to each seeker is to gather all sources of information, to consider them in meditation, and then to be moved by that which resonates with the inner being and to realize that the movement which shall be the fruit of such considerations is a movement into mystery which is infinite in nature. On February 24, 1987, Laitos spoke of the nature of our inner being:

Thus, one may see various imitations, obstacles, and blockages not just as hindrances to one’s progress, but means by which one’s progress may be accelerated, for these areas are what you may call the food for growth, the catalyst, which, when processed, will allow the constant transformation of the inner being and its radiance into the entity and those about it.

Thus, a concentrated effort at working upon one’s perception of self can allow one not only to achieve the broader point of view of the self by the self, but also allow one to then move the point of viewing further into the environment about one, and, indeed, to the smallest portion of the daily round of activities, until the creation about one begins to take on the feel and appearance of that which is sacred, unified, and full of joy and perfect motion.

However, that which is of the greatest truth for each seeker of truth seems to reside within the being of that seeker and comes forth as that which is felt and then that which is known, as it begins to resonate with that which is sought and that which is attracted by the seeking to the seeker. Thus, the desire of the seeker draws from many sources that which is most appropriate for that time within the seeker’s experience and draws from within the seeker that which is already there, and which ripens at the appropriate time according to the seeking that is expressed.

Quanta went on to say that which is of the greatest truth for each seeker of truth seems to reside within the being of that seeker and comes forth as that which is felt and then that which is known, as it begins to resonate with that which is sought and that which is attracted by the seeking to the seeker, so the desire of the seeker draws from many sources that which is most appropriate for that time within the seeker’s experience and draws from within the seeker that which is already there, and which ripens at the appropriate time according to the seeking that is expressed. On May 17, 1987, Q’uo described the nature of the seeker’s experience:

The focus of the desire upon an ideal or image which has emotional value and spiritual potential, shall we say, for the seeker is effective within the seeker’s experience. When the focus has been as sharply drawn as is possible for the seeker to accomplish with the combination of inner images and intensified desire along the chosen path, the manifestation of such a focus of intentions is what you may call the vitality of the life experience. Some have given it the name élan vital or the joy of living which the greater influx of directed Love, prana, or energy has provided to the seeker as a result of the seeker’s forming a channel or circuit for this influx of Love and its creative power.

Thus, each moment is seen with new eyes and felt with new sensation, and the vitality of creation is made more available to the seeker who has been able to focus its being in a manner which resonates in harmony with those potentials within each succeeding energy center or chakra of each seeker.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: Not on that question, thank you.

I am Quanta. Thank you, my sister. Is there another query?

W: Yeah, I have another a question. Over the past few months, I have become almost totally freed from any kind of grounding attachments, such as animals, and only remain to have one animal, which is my horse. And I’m wondering if there isn’t some reason why this is my situation and also whether or not it would be appropriate for me to find a new home for my horse that at this time is loved, and I would just like your opinion on that.

I am Quanta and to take the last query first, we do not feel it appropriate to guide to the point of specificity in such matters which are properly located within the realm of personal choice. However, upon the first part of the query, we might suggest that which is already supposed by the questioner, and that is to say that the seasons of the soul, as it seeks its source, are various and have the manifestations that are seen in the outer world and which often perplex the seeker. It may be that in a certain season that various opportunities pertaining to a single theme are presented to the seeker in any of many fields of interest and activity such as the nature of the home environment, the system of support within your culture known as the working or the job description, the nature of friendships and relationships with those close to one and the attitude given by the seeker to various possessions. The points or possibilities of each theme offer to the seeker the opportunity to evaluate that which is essential upon the journey at a particular point upon that journey.

There is what you may call the testing, oftentimes referred to as initiation of one kind or another. The attitude that is the means by which the seeker views and accepts the manifestations of the various seasons of the soul’s seeking is that which is of most importance in each testing, for if it can be discovered within the point of view of the seeker that each situation has a metaphysical implication that revolves about the concept of Love and acceptance of that which is, then the seeker is more able to take advantage of the more specific lessons that orbit the primary concept of Love that may be found in each cycle or season. Thus, the testing is accomplished by the fires of experience touching the incarnation in a manner which concentrates the attention so that the greatest possible attitude of acceptance and peace then colors the mind.

W asked: “And I’m wondering if there isn’t some reason why this is my situation and also whether or not it would be appropriate for me to find a new home for my horse that at this time is loved, and I would just like your opinion on that.” Quanta went on to say to take the last query first, we do not feel it appropriate to guide to the point of specificity in such matters which are located within the realm of personal choice, but upon the first part of the query we suggest that the seasons of the soul, as it seeks its source, are various and have the manifestations that are seen in the outer world and which often perplex the seeker, so it may be that in a certain season that opportunities pertaining to a single theme are presented to the seeker in any of many fields of interest such as the nature of the home environment, the job description, the nature of friendships and relationships with those close to one and the attitude given by the seeker to various possessions, so the possibilities of each theme offer to the seeker the opportunity to evaluate that which is essential upon the journey at a particular point upon that journey. Now Quanta said there is the initiation of one kind or another, and the attitude that is the means by which the seeker accepts the manifestations of the various seasons of the soul’s seeking is that which is of importance in each testing, for if it can be discovered within the point of view of the seeker that each situation has a metaphysical implication that revolves about the concept of Love and acceptance of that which is, then the seeker is able to take advantage of the specific lessons that orbit the concept of Love that may be found in each cycle, and the testing is accomplished by the fires of experience touching the incarnation in a manner which concentrates the attention so that the greatest possible attitude of acceptance and peace then colors the mind. On February 22, 2020, Q’uo described the nature of initiation:

The initiation of the surrendering of the self to the will of the One is that which is carried out with such an intense desire that it is difficult to adequately describe how this is accomplished. It is motivated and initiated by the seeker itself which has desired this union for a great portion of what you would call time and has through various means of spiritual expression been able to accomplish a kind of replica or preliminary experience of this unity, so that there is a taste of that which is to come.

The initiation itself is that which can happen in the eye blink of a moment, or in prolonged meditation, or in the daily round of activities, for there is no determining the exact timing or characteristics necessary when the desire of the seeker will have built to such a level, both on the unconscious mind and the conscious mind.

This will and desire become balanced by the faith that such a will and desire will be manifested when the faith is as strong as the will, and they move together in union. Then there is the blending of these two strands of rope which is used to take the seeker into the highest realms of the fully-experienced presence of the One Infinite Creator in order to be able to do the will of the Creator, having become one with the Creator, and knowing the will because of that unity between the two that is no longer two, but one.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No, thank you. I appreciate that answer.

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

W: I have one more. I’m just wondering how we’re doing, because we’re getting closer to contacting whoever’s going to contact us.

I am Quanta, and though the future, as you would call it, cannot be seen with the perfectly clear eye, for it is yet to be a function of ever-changing free choice, we can suggest that this group has moved in its progress to the point that very fine tuning is all that is required in order that the next opportunities to serve in this manner might be experienced.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No, thank you.

N: I have a question. I was just wondering if you could tell if the entities which we’re in touch with, some or all are likely to be in touch if I was, perhaps, to move to another land?

I am Quanta, and as we scan your recent memories and ascertain the destination of which you speak, we may suggest that the answer to this query resides within your own desire and ability and accumulation of confidence, for it is possible for your exercise of the vocal channeling service to continue as a function of your own desire and free will choice no matter the land to which you move or the time which elapses between your departure and arrival, for if you are able to place yourself within a circle of seekers which desires this service, you shall find yourself as the seed which takes root in fertile ground and grows according to the nourishment given by your own desire and the desire expressed by those within your new circle of seeking.

May we speak further, my sister?

N: No, thank you.

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

W: Yeah, I have one more. In regard to attuning, which you just mentioned, is it just a continued tuning, or can you give me any more information about what type of tuning is necessary?

I am Quanta. The tuning of which we speak is primarily that ability to recognize a contact that is being made with your instrument and to successfully challenge and receive confirmation from that contact in a manner which assures you of its nature and allows you then to open your channel that you may speak its words. This evening, for example, due to the time which had elapsed and the slight eroding of the confidence, this ability to discern contact from our group was somewhat diminished. More practice and the gathering of confidence shall allow this type of discernment to again be polished to the point that the ability to discern not only our contact, but contact from other sources, is enhanced.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Quanta, and we feel that we have, for the moment, exhausted those queries which we appreciate each offering to us. We look forward, shall we say, to the future gatherings of this group and feel that the foundation has been well laid for the service which has been undertaken. We hope that we shall be able to continue this progress with each new instrument and are confident in that possibility. At this time, we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, thanking each for allowing our presence this evening. We are known to you as those of Quanta. We leave each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

The quote today from The Infinite Way is: “To meditate is to fix the mind upon; think about continuously; contemplate; to engage in continuous and contemplated thought; dwell mentally on anything; ruminate and cogitate.

In the spiritual tongue, meditation is prayer. True prayer or meditation is not a thinking about ourselves or our problems, but rather the contemplation of God and God activities, the nature of God, and the nature of the world that God has created.

Everyone should take some time daily to retire to a quiet spot for meditation. During this period, they should turn their thought to God, consider their understanding of God and search out a deeper understanding of the nature of Spirit and Its formation. This particular period is set aside, dedicated, and consecrated to thinking about God and God’s universe.

As God is the mind and Soul of every individual, it is possible for all of us to be tuned in to the kingdom of God and receive the divine messages and assurances and benefits of the one infinite Love. The grace of God which we receive in these periods of meditation or prayer becomes tangible to us in the fulfilling of our so-called human needs. If we do not open our consciousness to receive spiritual understanding, we must not be surprised if we do not experience spiritual good in our daily living. There is no other way to open our consciousness to the realm of Soul than through meditation or prayer, through contemplating the things of God. “Thou will keep them in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.”

All through the day our thoughts are centered on the activities of human experience, on family cares and duties and the earning of a livelihood, on social and community affairs, and sometimes even on the greater affairs of state. Is it not natural then that at some time during the day or evening we take time off to retire to our inner consciousness, which is the temple of God, and there dwell upon the things of God? Above all, we must develop the sense of receptivity so that we can become ever more aware of the very presence of God in God’s holy temple which is our consciousness. In the secret place of the most High, which is the Holy of Holies, which is our very own inner consciousness, we receive illumination, guidance, wisdom, and spiritual power. In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.”

Later this morning I went outside and hand-weeded the Yellow Creeping Jenny Garden in the back yard. Then I went to the Impatien Garden in the corner of the Flower Fall Garden in the front yard and replanted the Impatiens that the deer pulled out of the ground.

This afternoon I went on an errand run to The Home Depot where I bought 20 Yellow Creeping Jennys. 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. When I got home, I transplanted 10 of the Creeping Jennys in my Yellow Creeping Jenny Garden.

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

July 26

Your Joy Transforms And Enables Others

I am the Spirit of the living Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

Many are the shepherds whose joy in their service to the sheep has been lost, although duteously and faithfully they continue to serve.

Yet joy is all about each and every shepherd and each and every sheep. Joy is the constitution of the creation, Love and peace its watchwords and its description. The shepherd who has lost joy must needs seek it again, for what one does not feel, one cannot truly express.

Take time to experience the joy of existence, the joy of interaction with others, the joy of giving and receiving, and the joy of sharing. For it is the joy in service that transforms and enables the joy in others.

We leave you in joy, in love and in peace, now and evermore. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day.
Today the Quanta and Christine channelings come from July 21, 1987:

(K channeling)

I am Quanta, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We are honored once again to be a part of this gathering. We are pleased to see your continued efforts in the art of vocal channeling and wish to assist in whatever manner we can. We would like to recommend that the one known as W begin to relax and deepen her meditative state so that further conditioning can occur. We are aware that she has begun to make contact with that entity which wishes to use her as a vocal channel, and we are pleased with the progress she has made to this point. We would recommend that she continue to meditate on a daily basis to help further the connection which she is establishing. We would like at this time to transfer to the one known as Carla in order to allow a stronger connection to be made. I am Quanta.

(Carla channeling)

I am Quanta, and greet you through this instrument. We would like to say a few words about contact with those which are not of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite One, for there are ways in which interplane contact is like contact with the Confederation and there are ways in which it differs. The challenging and tuning mechanisms of the instrument remain of the same importance, regardless of the nature of the contact, regardless of whether the instrument is conscious or in trance, regardless of whether the contact is inner plane or outer plane. We strongly suggest that entities not agree to accept the contact which does not declare a name. Few among the Confederation have retained names in the sense that you know them, yet in order that we may speak with those who have names, in order that there be trust and recognition and companionship, we have taken those vibratory characteristics that are most ourselves and molded sound vibration complexes to create the most accurate name we could. It is not well to accept an unnamed contact, for that which does not have a name may indeed evade challenge.

There is a great variety of strengths and powers of personality among those dwelling in the inner planes of your planetary energy web. We say this not because the entity which attempts to call you is negative. This is not so but, rather, because in the instrument’s present situation, it would be surprising if the new instrument were not greeted by more than one entity, the extraneous contact being of a less than desirable nature. It is impossible to place the same standards of information upon inner plane masters and outer plane servants, for those within the higher planes of the Earth’s system are often agreeably pleased with themselves for achieving such a high level of understanding. This is because such entities often have put off the day when, for the first time, they move on into fourth density. Thus, inner plane channeling can become most uninspiring due to the instrument’s encouragement of self-aggrandizing material, and if it is willing to channel such material.

In this session Quanta spoke about the art of vocal channeling. They began by saying we would like to say a few words about contact with those which are not of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite One, for there are ways in which interplane contact is like contact with the Confederation, and there are ways in which it differs, so if the challenging and tuning mechanisms of the instrument remain of the same importance, regardless of the nature of the contact, regardless of whether the instrument is conscious or in trance, regardless of whether the contact is inner plane or outer plane, but we suggest that entities not agree to accept the contact which does not declare a name, for few among the Confederation have retained names in the sense that you know them, yet in order that we may speak with those who have names, in order that there be trust and companionship, we have taken those vibratory characteristics that are most ourselves and molded sound vibration complexes to create the most accurate name we could, but it is not well to accept an unnamed contact, for that which does not have a name may, indeed, evade challenge. Quanta went on to say there is a variety of strengths of personality among those dwelling in the inner planes of your planetary energy web, and we say this, not because the entity which attempts to call you is negative, for this is not so but because in the instrument’s present situation, it would be surprising if the new instrument were not greeted by more than one entity, the irrelevant contact being of a less than desirable nature, so it is impossible to place the same standards of information upon inner plane masters and outer plane servants, for those within the higher planes of the Earth’s system are often pleased with themselves for achieving such a high level of understanding, and this is because such entities have put off the day when they move into fourth density, so inner plane channeling can become uninspiring due to the instrument’s encouragement of self-aggrandizing material, and if it is willing to channel such material. On February 18, 1987, Laitos described the value of tuning and challenging any contact:

May we thank the one known as N for working with us, and may we commend this instrument for its care in challenging at our last meditation. It is much appreciated, for we who wish to serve the Creator by being of service to others have no desire to reduce our polarity by wrestling with any other who may wish to contact an entity. When the challenging and tuning are done there is no need, for one by one the less desirable, in terms of the channel’s own tuning, contacts are simply removed, so that in the end your choice as a channel is either singular or a very good selection of energies or vibrations from which to choose.

We ask the instrument to remain faithful to that which may be more difficult to achieve than some contacts, in order that when that contact is established, it may offer much to those who may wish to ask questions of it. Be aware that only through practice does the inner ear become keen. Know, too, that inner plane masters, having by definition had at least one incarnation upon your Earth plane, have the right, and to various degrees, the ability, to offer personal material, that is, material concerning someone who wishes to know about previous lifetimes or the efficacy of future actions. It is in the instrument’s hands to direct the contact in the most helpful fashion, that is to say, not as we see a helpfulness nor as anyone else sees helpfulness, but in the one known as W’s mind, in that way of seeing helpfulness, visualized clearly, shall the one known as W attempt to encourage the contact.

Then Quanta said we ask the instrument to remain faithful to that which may be more difficult to achieve than some contacts, in order that when that contact is established, it may offer much to those who may wish to ask questions of it, but be aware that only through practice does the inner ear become keen, and know that inner plane masters, having by definition had at least one incarnation upon your Earth plane, have the right and the ability to offer personal material concerning someone who wishes to know about previous lifetimes or the efficacy of future actions, for it is in the instrument’s hands to direct the contact in the most helpful fashion, that is to say in that way of seeing helpfulness, visualized clearly, shall W attempt to encourage the contact. On June 1, 1986, L/Leema spoke about inner plane masters:

Teachers, which are called by some, “angels,” and others, “inner plane masters,” speak within time and most often within sleep and often without memory. Yet still biases are formed and refined because of the interaction of the deeper mind with that world of three-dimensional time which serves, shall we say, as the backboard, if you wish to think of experience as a means of putting the ball in the basket. One’s conscious experiences in space are such that one may learn lessons without recourse to the deeper mind which dwells in time only by extremely accurate observation, which in this analogy, would equal the action of the ball so thrown through the air that it moved through the hoop without touching the rim or the backboard.

We would at this time leave this instrument in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. I am Quanta.

[Long pause.]

Carla: In the name of divine Love and the service, I ask the entity who wishes to speak through W to clothe itself in the name and make that name known to the one known as W. May that name be acceptable and right for her. I thank you, Spirit, and leave you in Love.

(W channeling)

[The transcription is approximate because of the quality of the recording.]

I am [sounds like] Christine, and I have met with your challenge for the name. We feel that names are but labels which do not clearly represent that which we are. However, it has been necessary to continue at this time. However, this is merely a [inaudible] version [inaudible] and that which we own. We find at this time that the name Christine will best serve our needs. However, there are those of us who feel this name [inaudible] that which we are and make further modification or expansion as we further establish a working contact with this entity.

We recognize the efforts on the part of the one known as Quanta in preparing and establishing the connection which we have been able to develop with the one known as W. We are most honored and pleased to have the opportunity to work with this instrument, and we recognize the efforts of the one known as Jim and the one known as Carla in aiding this instrument in her endeavors to establish contact. We are happy now that we can begin working on greater portions of the carrier which has been established now that this entity has begun vocally channeling that known to you as Christine. We are preparing for further contact with other portions of our complex, and shall expand the answers, for we wish to proceed as rapidly as possible in attaining and refining that which we have begun.

In order to further establish this contact, we request that the entity known as W [inaudible] the inclinations toward the more healthful lifestyle, such as practicing the art of yoga meditation and internal cleansing which she has begun to feel directed toward. We wish not to require or demand such procedures, but merely to suggest that through these practices the connections which she has begun to establish and the strengthening. We are most pleased with the progress she has made over the past year and recognize that much has accrued and there has been great change within her. We are aware of the difficulties which this entity is having as we further condition and establish contact. Therefore, we will end this vocal channeling at this time. Again, we are most pleased with the progress which she has made and wish to send to [inaudible] that we are one in the Love and Light of the one true God we all serve. I am Christine, and now we leave you.

[Tape ends.]

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “There is nothing impractical about the development of our spiritual sense or Soul-powers. This uplifted consciousness enabled Moses to lead his people out of bondage and through the Red Sea into the awareness of abundance. Through Jesus, it healed the multitudes of their diseases, fed the multitudes with actual food, and raised the dead. Through Paul, it lifted a portion of humanity above the deepest sorrows and persecutions into Christ-consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness lifts us above every human form of limitation and permits us to enter a larger sense of life, health, and freedom. Where there is spiritual consciousness, there is no bondage to person, place, or thing, and there are no limitations to our accomplishments.

So far as is known, Jesus never left a written word, and yet His teaching is the foundation of the morals and ethics for much of the world. Many other seers left only the words spoken to their immediate followers, yet by their own power these messages have become living waters through countless ages. The wisdom of the ages, uttered by spiritually illumined men and women who never dreamed that their thoughts would encircle the globe and influence the lives and conduct of people, is not confined to time or place. The Christlike thoughts that fill their consciousness go out from them like the ring created by throwing a stone in the water, making an ever-widening circle until it embraces all humanity. Yes, spiritual consciousness is practical. Our desire for influence, however, must be the desire for the other person’s affluence before we can experience the grace which is the gift of God.

Meditation is the door to the realm of the Soul, and inspiration is the way. As we learn to take five or ten minutes each morning, noon, and night to sit quietly with a “listening” ear, as we turn within ourselves and learn to wait for the “still small voice,” we acquire the habit of meditation and develop skill in its technique until inspiration possesses us and leads us to the haven of our Soul. This is the beginning of our new birth, and here we learn the new tongue of Spirit. Life begins to have a new meaning.”

Later this morning I went outside and finished transplanting the last 10 Astilbe into the Astilbe Garden at the far corner of my backyard. Then I secured the netting over this last section of the Astilbe Garden so the deer can’t eat any of the Astilbe. Then I hand-weeded the Hosta Garden in front of the Forsythia Bushes on the west side of the Astilbe Garden.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought a Lenten Rose. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed. My third stop was at Goodwill where I donated 10 plastic hangers and a bamboo shirt. My fourth stop was at Frank Otte’s Nursery where I bought 2 pots of Yellow Marigolds. My fifth stop was at Kroger’s where I bought some food for myself. My sixth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought more food for myself. My sixth stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off a prescription to be refilled, and I bought some Kleenexes.

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

July 25

Peace Is Active

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

Peace, I cry to you. Peace, I offer to you.

How shall you find this peace if you believe not that the Spirit of the living God speaks to you this day; is available to you this moment; is a strengthener and a comforter to you in a real way, in an active way, and in a living way?

Peace is, above all things, active, not passive. The peace of the consciousness of Love is an active and surpassing peace, a peace that you may feel as joy as well as peace; as power as well as peace; as harmony as well as peace. There is no such peace without the Spirit of Love.

Peace is not the absence of war. Peace is not the absence of spoken conflict. Gaze within your heart this day and see if you find the peace that passes understanding. If you do not have it, ask for it of the Spirit that dwells within and speaks to each who wishes to hear the voice of Christ in the world today. We come in peace and you shall be at peace, insofar as you wish it.

We greet you and 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 the Creator’s 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 Quanta and Hatonn channelings for this session come from July 17, 1987:

W channeling)

I am Quanta, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. We would like to welcome you all to this meditation this evening. We are pleased that you have gathered once again to practice the art of vocal channeling. We would like to let you know that we are here to aid and assist in whatever way possible in order to facilitate your vocal channeling. We are pleased with the progress that each of you has made these past few evenings, as you know it. We would like to thank the one known as Carla and the one known as Jim for aiding and guiding these new instruments. We would like to commend you on a job well done. We wish at this time to leave this instrument and allow for further tuning to the entity which wishes to make contact with her. You need only to request our assistance, and we will be there to aid and guide in whatever way we may be of service to you. We are known to you as Quanta, and we leave you once again in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet each in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We have enjoyed becoming one with your vibrations. We were attempting to initiate contact through the one known as K, however the natural reserve of this new instrument was causing the instrument a considerable amount of distraction. We, however, did make good contact with the instrument and do appreciate the effort that this instrument makes. This being said, we would once again like to contact the one known as K. We are those of Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn. I greet you once again, my friends, in Love and Light through this instrument. It is as always, a privilege to share with you in your endeavors as you seek to serve by being vocal channels… [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

(R channeling)

I am Hatonn… [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am now with this instrument. We are aware that the one known as D is having continuing difficulty due to the tendency to analyze, coupled with some fatigue. We are delighted in the progress that we have made, and we are aware that the instrument is already often able to perceive the contact, and have been pleased with those practice times. We feel that at this time we will allow this instrument to rest and will be with this instrument upon mental request. We will not be channeling, but we will greet the new instrument. In this way practice in contact can be made.

Please, we ask the one known as D, and, indeed, all new channels, when practicing the tuning of your instrument, be careful with the challenges to all spirits, just as though it were a group meeting, for you need to be far more fastidious when working alone than when supported by the group energy which is phenomenally greater than the energy of one alone. We are most pleased with the subjective rise in each individual amount of trust in the benign nature of our contact and the benign nature of channeling itself.

Channeling is actually a fourth-density commonplace, as each entity is aware that within it lies the glory of the Creator. It naturally makes the choice to channel that energy. Those of you in third density can often not see with the physical eyes the seeds of wonder and godhead in ourselves and each other. Yet, that resource, pure and undistorted, lies full-blown within each consciousness’ heart. As you learn to channel the best that we have to offer you, and we offer it in all humility as our opinion only, realize that we are only attempting to aid you in learning to channel your own divinity, that impersonal, caring and life-affirming portion of the self, which with great compassion and justice gazes upon a fruitful and beautiful creation.

In this session Hatonn speaks about the art of vocal channeling. They began by saying we ask D, and all new channels, when practicing the tuning of your instrument, be careful with the challenges to all spirits, just as though it were a group meeting, for you need to be more fastidious when working alone than when supported by the group energy which is greater than the energy of one alone, so we are pleased with the subjective rise in each individual amount of trust in the benign nature of our contact and the benign nature of channeling itself. Hatonn went on to say channeling is a fourth-density activity as each entity is aware that within it lies the glory of the Creator, and it makes the choice to channel that energy, but those of you in third density can often not see the seeds of wonder and godhead in ourselves and each other, yet that resource, pure and undistorted, lies full-blown within each consciousness’s heart, for as you learn to channel the best that we have to offer you, and we offer it in all humility as our opinion only, realize that we are attempting to aid you in learning to channel your own divinity, that impersonal and life-affirming portion of the self, which with compassion and justice gazes upon a beautiful creation. On March 8, 1987, L/Leema spoke of our own divinity:

We look upon the query as that which is contained within a certain point of view which is the property of the illusion through which you move, for if you had but eyes to see beyond those veils which hide your own divinity, you would discover that those times of difficulty during which you seem to miss the mark and miss it yet again, are times in which you prepare within your being the opportunity and potential for enlarging your experience not only of yourself and your illusion, but your experience of a portion of the Creator and by so doing provide the one Creator an opportunity to gain the knowledge of your experience in a manner not possible should you not be providing the avenues of exploration that your consciousness devises.

We would end our musings for this evening through the one known as W before we ask for questions. We are those of Hatonn. We transfer now.

(W channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again… [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

…to express itself through her. We are known to you as those of Hatonn.

(W channeling)

We are here, and we are pleased that the one known as W has been able to allow us to speak using her as a vocal channel. We were so happy to have the opportunity to speak with you this evening. We are still in the process of making adjustments with further tuning to ease in the contact in communication with this entity. We have been waiting long, and yet not so long, to begin working with this vocal channel. We would like to thank once again all of you for being patient and allowing us to make ourselves known to you at this time. We are honored to be here with you this evening and we will leave now, as those of the Confederation of Planets would say, in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again in the Love and the Light. At this time, we will transfer to the one known as Jim so that queries may be entertained. We are known to you as Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet each again in Love and Light. At this time, we have the privilege of asking if we might attempt to speak to any query which those present may have for us. Is there a query with which we may begin?

Carla: Yeah, I’d like to ask one. I’ve always had a prejudice against people working by themselves when they were new channels, but I was never able to say it was because it didn’t work; it does work by yourself. And from what you said, I’m wondering if my prejudice doesn’t have its basis in the fact that one is more protected with a couple of people around, especially experienced people. Comment?

I am Hatonn, and it is also our recommendation, my sister, that new instruments practice the art of vocal channeling only in the company of those who seek in like manner information of an inspirational nature from sources such as our own. It is further recommended, as you have also been accustomed to recommend, that the new instrument, for the greater portion of its initial practice, place itself within a group that contains a more experienced instrument, in order that the finer points of the channeling process might be noted and used as teaching devices. It is easy for a new instrument to be able to make contact and to vocalize the contact, yet, as you are aware, there are many considerations that each new instrument needs to be aware of that are most easily noted by a more experienced instrument.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

W: This evening I felt a lot of different intensities of energy working with me, and I was just wondering if that is further adjustments or whatever to this new entity which I’ve started channeling?

I am Hatonn, and this is correct, my sister. May we speak in any further fashion?

W: Not right now, thank you.

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

W: In the practicing by oneself by just mentally receiving the contact, can you comment more about process?

I am Hatonn, and it is our recommendation to the new instrument, and, indeed, any instrument which wishes to experience our contact or the contact of any of our other brothers or sisters within the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator, that the contact be made only in the form which would allow recognition of the contact and the deepening of the meditative state. We do not recommend even the reception of mental images or words from unseen contacts while in solitary meditation, for it is easy for the new instrument to believe that it has recognized a contact sufficiently enough to speak the words and impressions that are received, and in many cases, this would be a workable situation for a certain period of time. Yet after this period of time, which is variable for each entity, there is the likelihood that there would be the infringement upon the contact by other unseen entities who may have less than helpful desires as their motivation for attempting to confuse the original contact with their own. It is far less easy for such an infringement to occur when an instrument places itself within a circle that includes at least three as the minimum number. Three entities, then, blending their seeking for knowledge and the ability to utilize it in a service to others as a kind of protective device that ensures a cleansed working place and the conditions necessary for the working to proceed in a stable manner.

W asked: “In the practicing by oneself by just mentally receiving the contact, can you comment more about process?” Latwii replied by saying it is our recommendation to the new instrument, and any instrument which wishes to experience our contact or the contact of any of our other brothers or sisters within the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator, that the contact be made only in the form which would allow recognition of the contact and the deepening of the meditative state, but we do not recommend even the reception of mental images or words from unseen contacts while in solitary meditation, for it is easy for the new instrument to believe that it has recognized a contact sufficiently enough to speak the words and impressions that are received, and in many cases this would be a workable situation for a certain period of time, yet after this period of time, which is variable for each entity, there is the likelihood that there would be the infringement upon the contact by other unseen entities who may have less than helpful desires as their motivation for attempting to confuse the original contact with their own, so it is not easy for such an infringement to occur when an instrument places itself within a circle that includes at least three as the minimum number, and these three entities blending their seeking for knowledge and the ability to utilize it in a service to others as a kind of protective device that ensures a cleansed working place and the conditions necessary for the working to proceed in a stable manner. On August 22, 1993, Q’uo recommended that at least three members in any group attempting to channel concept information from any source:

The holding forth with the challenge is, of course, also necessary at each working, and it would be well that the group be numbered at least three. There is the possibility of receiving concept information using only your own tuning and energies, however, this information would remain in the form of concept rather than words being utilized to convey information. Thus, you would need to be able to remember the concepts for later elucidation and refinement in your conscious expression of them—words or images set to paper.

May we speak further my sister?

W: So, as I understand it, the request is made for contact. Is the request made of a specific entity such as yourself or whoever might be available from the Confederation, or how should that proceed?

I am Hatonn. We would recommend that contact be requested from those entities with whom one is familiar through previous work. In your particular case, this would include the ones known as Laitos and our own social memory complex. It is our recommendation that additional contacts be experienced within a group which includes the more experienced instrument in order that a kind of cross-referencing may be utilized to verify that a certain contact is who it says it is.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No, thank you.

I am Hatonn, and again we thank you, my sister.

Questioner: Yeah. In daily meditation I attempt to make connection at times, to seek guidance of my own higher self. How am I then to determine whether that information which I believe I’ve made is indeed my higher self, and not, as you speak, of other entities? In other words, how do I differentiate between the part of me that I call on in my meditation from other entities that are out there?

I am Hatonn. We might suggest that the proper respect and personalized ritual be accorded to this type of seeking for guidance and information in that the meditative state would be utilized as the general arena or place in which such work might be accomplished, and this place of working then would be prepared in the mental sense by the intensity and purity of desire to seek knowledge in order to grow and to be of service to others. This purification of the inner desire may be accomplished in any fashion which has meaning to you. The visualization of white Light surrounding and protecting your inner place of working is one manner that might be utilized in a variety of fashions as the Light is formed in various meaningful symbols by your own conscious application of attention. The repeating of words written either by yourself or others which are of an inspirational nature, and which direct your desire in a certain fashion which expresses your nature and your desire to learn and serve may also be utilized. The principle which is of fundamental importance in this instance is some regularized manner of preparing the place within your meditative state to which you shall repair only for the seeking of a contact with a greater portion of your being, whether it be your higher self or other portions of your mental complex that may contain useful information for the direction of your journey of seeking. This ritual then repeated each time that you desire such contact will suffice to provide a cleansed and protected place of working as you undertake this type of seeking.

Questioner asked: “In daily meditation I attempt to make connection at times, to seek guidance of my own higher self. How am I then to determine whether that information which I believe I’ve made is indeed my higher self, and not, as you speak, of other entities? In other words, how do I differentiate between the part of me that I call on in my meditation from other entities that are out there?” Hatonn replied we suggest that the proper personalized ritual be added to this type of seeking for information when the meditative state would be utilized as the place in which such work might be accomplished, and this place of working would be prepared in the mental sense by the purity of desire to seek knowledge in order to grow and to be of service to others, and this purification of the inner desire may be accomplished in any fashion which has meaning to you, so the visualization of white Light surrounding and protecting your inner place of working is one manner that might be utilized in a variety of fashions as the Light is formed in various meaningful symbols by your conscious application of attention, and the repeating of words written either by yourself or others which are of an inspirational nature, and which direct your desire in a certain fashion which expresses your desire to learn and serve may also be utilized, for the principle which is of importance in this instance is some regularized manner of preparing the place within your meditative state to which you shall go for the seeking of a contact with a greater portion of your being, whether it be your higher self or other portions of your mental complex that may contain useful information for the direction of your journey of seeking, so this ritual is repeated each time that you desire such contact, and it will provide a protected place of working as you undertake this type of seeking. On April 27, 2024, Q’uo said that we can receive guidance from our higher self:

So, if you will take that time to meditate and to look within yourself for the source of information, then that will be provided to you by your guides, and as a means of moving you forward into more communication with your higher self.

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

May we speak further, my sister?

[Inaudible]

W: When you refer to other mental complexes, is that what some would refer to as their guides?

I am Hatonn. It is possible that such additional entities may also be contacted within this type of situation. However, in our previous statement we were referring to other portions of your own mind complex which lie beneath the conscious level or awareness which may also be tapped for useful information as regards certain avenues of seeking and endeavor.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: So, basically it’s the way in which you approach the meditation and the desire to contact certain portions of yourself that protect or direct that which you receive? Is that it?

I am Hatonn, and this is basically correct. The attitude with which one attempts such a type of meditation and the regularized manner of focusing that attitude through the general principle of the ritual are the qualities which are most important, in our opinion, in this type of seeking.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No, thank you. That was very helpful.

I am Hatonn. We thank you once again, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

W: I have another question. Can you give me any information on the nature of the entity working with me in terms of its purpose of contacting me and utilizing me as a vocal channel?

I am Hatonn. This entity, as all entities of a positive nature, seeks to utilize yet another means through which to be of service to the one Creator by sharing that which is their fruit of seeking the experience that has been gathered through the evolutionary process. It is the case with positive entities that after the choice has been made to seek in the positive or radiant service-to-others sense, that after a very short time upon this path, it becomes apparent that further progress upon this path is achieved not through personal gain of knowledge only, but more especially through the sharing of this knowledge and experience with others in a fashion which furthers the potential for growth in other selves. Thus, the opportunity to utilize a vocal instrument is one which is greatly cherished by entities who seek to be of service to others.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: Not right now, thank you.

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

D: I have a number of questions, but once I get started I [inaudible]. Well, I would like to ask for comment—this may not be of interest to anyone—on the process of attempting to channel during the last year, on the style and approach, which is a lot different from this in the setting in which it has been done, the manner in which it has been done. Are there inherently difficult things, or dangers, or opportunities to be misguided as we have been practicing channeling?

I am Hatonn, and we are not completely aware of the conditions of which you speak, for we operate through an instrument which may transmit the information which it is given and which provides us with our primary contact with your group. We, with some reluctance or difficulty, could attempt to scan the mental complex of an entity such at yourself and determine certain qualities, but find that in such a scanning of the mental complex, the opportunity to infringe upon the free will of another is somewhat increased, and we would prefer that the queries which are addressed to our group would be specific in their formation so that the information which is requested of us might be drawn, then, from the query which is stated in as complete a fashion as possible.

At this time, we would ask if we may speak in a more specific fashion as the final query of the evening, for there is the fatigue that many in the circle feel and which makes the maintenance of a steady contact somewhat difficult for this instrument which is also somewhat fatigued. May we speak to a final query?

D: Very briefly. Do disciplines, such things as diet, play a major role in opening as a channel for some? And if so, how can you determine, from a neophyte’s status, something that would be helpful to oneself?

I am Hatonn, and the utilization of the diet would be helpful if the dietary plan were to be seen as a symbol for a greater purpose, the cleansing of the, not only, body but mind and spirit complexes as well, for example. Or perhaps the bringing into balance of the physical complex with those of the mental and spiritual as well. The diet in itself, beyond the point of a reasonably healthy maintenance of the physical vehicle, is not necessarily a useful means of aiding a new instrument in serving as such but may become so if used as the means towards a greater end.

May we speak further on that topic, my brother?

D: Can you verify that last phrase, “used as a means to a greater end”?

I am Hatonn. By this statement we were attempting to describe how the use of a certain dietary plan might be seen as a symbol by the new instrument that would allow it to achieve more than the healthier physical vehicle and would serve as somewhat as a lever, shall we say, in springing the instrument’s mental, physical, or spiritual complexes or combinations thereof into a more balanced alignment that would then become that configuration that would be most helpful in the learning of the art of becoming the vocal channel.

May we speak further, my brother?

D: You certainly have a way with words. Thank you.

I am Hatonn, and we thank you, my brother. We apologize for the necessity of bringing this gathering to a close when there are further queries which await the asking. We enjoy each query greatly and treasure each as an opportunity to share our opinion upon points of interest to all in the seeking of inspiration and a wider point of view. However, this evening we find that each in the group has expended a great deal of attention and energy in maintaining the focus upon the tuning and the desire to serve as the vocal instrument, and this focus has caused some discomfort to a number in this group. And, therefore, we shall at this time take our leave of this instrument and this group, thanking each for inviting our presence, and, as always, we leave each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Hatonn. Adonai, my brothers and sisters. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Through false education, which constitutes finite sense, we have come to fear certain individuals, things, and conditions, not realizing that as these are coming to us through the avenue of consciousness they are all God-being, Consciousness-appearing, Spirit-substance. Material consciousness is the false finite sense which beholds the universe and people as limited, as being both good and evil. Spiritual consciousness is the awareness of the individual as God-being, as having only the mind of God and the body of Spirit. It recognizes the entire universe as mind-appearing and governed by divine Principle. Spiritual consciousness is the ability to see beyond the appearance to reality. It is the recognition and realization that as God is our mind, all that appears to us is in and of God which is our only consciousness.

Spiritual consciousness does not overcome or destroy matter or material conditions but knows that no such conditions exist which finite sense presents. It translated the appearance for us, revealing the true nature of that which is appearing.

Spiritual power emanates from the Soul, the Soul of you and the Soul of me. It is impersonal and impartial. Everyone may open the windows of their Soul and behold the infinite glories of a world far above the universe of sense. Far greater than anything we have ever seen or heard in the world of the Soul, the world that is seen through spiritual sense. We know that unillumined thought beholds the universe as material, whereas the illumined consciousness, or Soul-sense, sees and understands the universe as spiritual.”

Later this morning I went outside and used a box cutter to remove the duct tape from the new motor in the fishpond from the tube that leads the water form the fountain in the fishpond. Then I put some super glue inside the end of the motor that receives the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain. Then I put 8 layers of duct tape on the end of the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain. Then I used four 3 ft. lengths of duct tape to go around the end of the pump and the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain. Then I put the pump into the skimmer and plugged the pump into the electrical outlet, and the height of the fountain was perfect!

This afternoon I went outside and transplanted the 4 Lenten Roses into the Lenten Rose Garden. Then I watered them. Then I took the netting off of the Astilbe Garden and transplanted 11 new Astilbe Flowers into the Astilbe Garden, and then I watered them.

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

July 24

The Glory Of The Son

We are those who come in the name of Love, and we greet you in the full consciousness of perfect Love.

As you awaken you open your eyes to the glory of the sun. All radiant, as the sun kisses the Earth, it engenders life.

As you gaze upon your inner being, seek and find the Son of Man, a fully radiant being whose creative touch is perfect blessing. May you, in turn, caught between beauteous outer sun and marvelous inner Son, find inspiration to choose to be radiant also, a blessing to those upon whose presence you shine.

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 the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling for this session comes from July 14, 1987:

(W channeling)

I am Quanta. [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet this company in the Love and in the Light of the infinite Creator. We would wish that you be aware that there are several presences from the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator joining your meditation this evening, those energies which are Oxal, Laitos, Latwii and Quanta. These brothers and sisters wish to aid each in the deepening of the meditative state. The one known as W will be experiencing the companionship of Quanta as further work is done in that new instrument’s indigo-ray plan of progress.

We would wish to turn the attention to the blessedness of the intention to serve. When entities discover within themselves the desire to serve, they cast about for a satisfactory path of service and frequently become embroiled in the mechanics of producing the chosen service. In that seeking forth the perfect service, life and joy are stripped from the endeavor. This is not to say that it is not valuable to continually improve and refine one’s ability to serve, one’s perspicacity and tact in service. However, the analytical mind often takes over the faculty of evaluation from the proper means of evaluation, that is, the deeper self, and in that surface evaluation of the attempt to be of service, many imperfections are found, and thus the seeker becomes disappointed in the self and in the service. This adversely affects future attempts at service as entities become disillusioned with their own abilities.

My friends, each has in general a path which shall include opportunities for service and opportunities for the gaining of experience. To some a gift such as the vocal channeling may be given, just as to some the ability to produce music from a complicated instrument such as the piano or the guitar. If the seekers which are within this domicile at this time were to compare their attempts at vocal channeling with the mature vocal channeling of one who has started with the gift of far memory of previous concept communication, it is likely that there would be some disappointment. However, in discovering vocal channeling, the seeker is discovering a portion of his or her own birthright. Vocal channeling is a way of linking three levels of being: the deep mind, the conscious mind, and the mind of the Logos.

In this session Hatonn spoke about the value of serving others. They began by saying we wish to turn the attention to the blessedness of the intention to serve, for when entities discover the desire to serve, they cast about for a satisfactory path of service and become involved in the mechanics of producing the chosen service, but in that seeking for the perfect service, life and joy are stripped from the endeavor, yet this is not to say that it is not valuable to improve one’s ability to serve, one’s insight and sensitivity in service, but the analytical mind often takes over the faculty of evaluation from the deeper self, and in that surface evaluation of the attempt to be of service, many imperfections are found, and the seeker becomes disappointed in the self and in the service, and this adversely affects future attempts at service as entities become disillusioned with their own abilities. Hatonn went on to say each has a path which includes opportunities for service and opportunities for the gaining of experience, and to some a gift such as vocal channeling may be given, just as to some the ability to produce music from a complicated instrument such as the piano or the guitar, so if the seekers which are within this home at this time were to compare their attempts at vocal channeling with the mature vocal channeling of one who has started with the gift of far memory of previous concept communication, it is likely that there would be some disappointment, but in discovering vocal channeling, the seeker is discovering a portion of his or her own birthright, for vocal channeling is a way of linking three levels of being: the conscious mind, the deep mind, and the mind of the Logos. On April 21, 1995, Q’uo described the path of service to others:

It is important for the entity upon the path of service to others to attempt to see the Creator within all beings at all times, to give praise and thanksgiving for the Light of the Creator that exists in all, to seek and know that Creator in each, to offer within the meditative state the heartfelt Love for all who send greetings or attacks, and to surround the self, then, in that Love and Light of the infinite Creator.

We are messengers of this Logos, imperfect and often befuddled, yet we come to you as those who may have some small portion of wisdom to offer from our experience. We speak not to your conscious mind, but to your deep mind in concepts. This conversation betwixt the deep mind and the cosmos is going on all the time. Almost no one in the physical vehicle of third density is aware of this communication, however, when the channeling occurs, pathways are being made deeper and clearer each time the channeling is practiced for the greater and greater facility of the conscious mind to have access into the deep mind and thus have access to the collected wisdom of the cosmos. Indeed, both we and you are in essence an entire and complete Creator, an unlimited creation and the most powerful force in that creation.

We say this because we wish each of you to grasp the fact that it is not necessarily one’s path to be of service through vocal channeling, but it is always useful to have experienced the overshadowing of the self by a personality which is external to the self. Let these experiences flow naturally and evaluate in relaxation at other times the degree of attraction which channeling itself actually holds for you, keeping in mind that the work that you are doing is most helpful both to yourself and to others who you may serve as you become more and more aware of the wisdom and glory which lies within and to which you do indeed have access.

Hatonn went on to say we are messengers of this Logos, imperfect and often befuddled, yet we come to you as those who may have some portion of Wisdom to offer from our experience, yet we speak not to your conscious mind, but to your deep mind in concepts, and this conversation betwixt the deep mind and the cosmos is going on all the time, so no one in the body of third density is aware of this communication, but when the channeling occurs, pathways are made deeper and clearer each time the channeling is practiced for the greater facility of the conscious mind to have access into the deep mind and have access to the collected wisdom of the cosmos, so both we and you are a complete Creator, an unlimited creation, and the most powerful force in that creation. Q’uo continued by saying we wish each of you to grasp the fact that it is not necessarily one’s path to be of service through vocal channeling, but it is always useful to have experienced the overshadowing of the self by a personality which is external to the self, so let these experiences flow naturally and evaluate the degree of attraction which channeling holds for you, keeping in mind that the work that you are doing is most helpful both to yourself and to others who you may serve as you become more aware of the Wisdom and glory which lies within and to which you have access. On June 25, 1989, Oxal described the nature of our deep mind:

There may be some confusion for those who pursue the study of the archetypical mind in a specific and quite conscious sense when attempting to grasp qualities that may seem alien. However, when most of your entities engage themselves in the study of this portion of the deep mind, there is that quality of awe and wonder that easily accepts that which seems foreign within the realm of the personal experience in order that it might enrich that experience, for when the deep mind is explored in a conscious fashion, there is always the feeling that this is not only holy ground, but ground which the self in its smaller sense is walking for the first sense. Therefore, the additions of exterior, shall we say, archetypical influences offers less of a difficulty than it offers greater richness.

We would like to transfer at this time to the one known as K, if she will relax and allow our words to flow freely without the analysis. We shall transfer now. We are those of Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and greet you once again in Love and Light through this instrument. We reiterate our pleasure at being with this group this evening, for it is always a privilege to serve in this manner with you and through you. We are also most pleased to be called to offer whatever aid we may to those new channels, and in exercising them we find great benefit to ourselves as well. We ask that you remain conscious of your desire to serve for it is… [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet each again. We appreciate the opportunity to utilize each new instrument this evening, and we hope that each will bear with us sufficiently as we move about the circle and attempt to exercise each new instrument in turn. The process that each goes through is much the same, though each entity will find that there are various strengths and weaknesses that may be noticed within the Earth’s instruments, and thus each may learn from each in a manner which would not be possible without each new instrument seeking together a means by which to be of service through vocal channeling.

At this time, we would attempt to make our contact known to the one known as R. If this new instrument would relax the mind and body, and after feeling our presence and offering the appropriate challenge, then simply speak those words which she becomes aware of in her own mind, and she will find that the process will begin to move much more smoothly forward. At this time, we would transfer this contact to the one known as R. I am Hatonn.

(R channeling)

I am Hatonn. I am speaking through a new instrument, and the tuning is not yet fine. The instrument has some physical discomfort that causes the problem that speaking through is not the contact, but it might be that as the discomfiture eases, and the practice is greater this will be easier for the instrument. This can be a comforting knowledge, and as the veil of pain is overcome, it will become easier for us to make a contact, for the instrument has desire and is most willing and apt. Due to the discomfort we will withdraw. I am Hatonn.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and am now with this instrument, and we renew our greeting in Love and Light. We thank the one known as R for continuing through discomfort. We have been attempting with the help of the one known as Oxal, which energy is quite suited to the one known as R, to adjust our ingress into this entity’s web of vibratory nexus, and we have been aware that the entire torso as well as neck was causing difficulty. We encourage the tuning, the challenging, and the reprimanding of all contacts. You who serve as channels have a responsibility in this fertile and crowded metaphysical universe to choose the contact that is the highest and best that you may stably choose. Thus, the challenging is something we do not at all begrudge but, rather, encourage, for we wish each channel to feel that it has control of the conversation which proceeds during the channeling process. It is also important to complain mentally and to nag ceaselessly if the physical vehicle is uncomfortable for one reason or another. Each instrument is wired differently, in this instrument’s terminology, possessing various locations for ingress, and thus when we first begin working with a new instrument, we move in with a standard adjustment. Like most standard things, it seldom fits anyone but is, shall we say, close enough for a beginning. We ask each instrument to take responsibility for controlling the contract, refusing it if it seems less than what it should be and certainly refusing to accept discomfort. There is no need for this to occur as long as we are not working in the trance state. Work in the trance state requires a physical toll for the production of words. Conscious channeling, which is actually done in a light trance, does not require this cost, and the instrument should not accept discomfort but should persevere mentally until comfort is established.

Now Q’uo said we encourage the tuning and the challenging of all contacts because you who serve as channels have a responsibility in this crowded metaphysical universe to choose the contact that is the highest and best that you may stably choose, for the challenging is something we encourage, for we wish each channel to feel that it has control of the conversation which proceeds during the channeling process, and it is also important to complain mentally if the body is uncomfortable, for each instrument is wired differently possessing various locations for ingress, and when we first begin working with a new instrument, we move in with a standard adjustment, but like most standard things, it seldom fits anyone but is close enough for a beginning, so we ask each instrument to take responsibility for controlling the contact, refusing it if it seems less than what it should be and refusing to accept discomfort, for there is no need for this to occur as long as we are not working in the trance state, for work in the trance state requires a physical toll for the production of work but conscious channeling, which is actually done in a light trance, does not require this cost, and the instrument should not accept discomfort but should persevere mentally until comfort is established. On September 30, 1984, Latwii recommended the process of tuning and challenging to be sure that only positive entities are channeled:

We might suggest for this particular type of service as a vocal channel that you determine a means of the tuning and challenging of an energy or entity which you sense in any manner and that you utilize this means of tuning and challenging so that you might express to the channel only those energies and entities that are of a positive and beneficial nature to those about you and to your own being as well.

At this time we would like to continue working through the instrument known as N, whom we greet in love. If the instrument will relax, we shall attempt to pass its challenge. We transfer now. We are Hatonn.

(N channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are pleased that the entities in this group are from such willingness to become channels and therefore… [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

[Side one of tape ends.]

(N channeling)

We are happy to be of service to this group. I am Hatonn, and I leave you in Love and in Light.

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you one final time, as always, in Love and Light, as Love and Light are all that there is. We have rejoiced in your company, and we feel that each has made good progress this evening. We leave you in that same Love and that same Light, glorying with you in your birthright, rejoicing with you that your Creator lies closer to you than your heart or your breath so that we all are in the Creator and are all thus the Creator to each other.

It is often said by those of us in the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator that the seeds of creatorship dwell within each. When the seeds of the rose are planted, that which comes forth is a rose. If the seeds of the Creator are planted within you, my friends, shall your bloom and flower not be the Creator? We are those known to you as Hatonn. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Why are we so slow in gaining our freedom from illness, discord, and other material conditions? It is entirely because of our inability to grasp the great revelation that there is no reality to error.

So much attention has been given to faith in God to do something for us or to faith in a healer or teacher that we have overlooked the great truth: error is not real. There is no matter, since the substance of matter is really mind.

We are learning from the physical scientists as well as from metaphysicians that what has been termed matter is a misinterpretation of mind. Mind is the instrument of God, and God is Spirit; therefore, all that exists is spiritual substance regardless of the name or nature ascribed to it by finite sense.

God is the consciousness of the individual, therefore, all that can come to us as person, thing, or condition is coming to use as consciousness, in consciousness, and through consciousness; and God, Consciousness, is the Soul of every individual; God, Principle, is the law of all action; God, Spirit, is the substance of all of which we are conscious.”

Later this morning I went outside and used Huff and Puff to blow all the Sycamore leaves and bark under the giant Sycamore Tree in the back yard into a pile. Then I put the leaves and bark into a garbage can for yard waste pickup. Then I hand-weeded the Day Lily Garden on the south side of the garage. Then I hand-weeded the Astilbe Garden in the back corner of my yard.

This afternoon I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought a bag of Western Red Cedar mulch and 4 Lenten Roses. My second stop was at Frank Otte’s Nursery where I bought 21 Astilbe Plants. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription and bought some aluminum foil and some Tylenol. When I got home, I used the Garden Way Cart to take the Astilbe Plants and the Lenten Rose Plants to the Astilbe and Lenten Rose Plant Gardens in the far corner of the back yard. Then I placed each of the plants in each garden in a way that filled the empty spaces between the current plants. Then I went back to my truck, Sybil, to get a pair of scissors to cut netting in the proper length to cover one section of the Astilbe Garden to protect the garden from deer. Just as I got to the driveway, I saw water running down the stone path from the fishpond. I went over to the fishpond, and I discovered that the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain had come loose from the pump, which means I will have to take care of the problem tomorrow morning. So, I turned the pump off and went back to the Astilbe Garden and cut the netting into three sections and put each section on three different parts of the Astilbe Garden. Tomorrow morning, after I have gotten the pump taped back onto the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain, I will take the netting off of the Astilbe Plants and transplant them into the Astilbe Garden.

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

July 23

The Day To Forgive

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

This is the day to forgive. Select someone, another, or yourself, whom you have not forgiven and bring to bear the Love of Christ which, seeing all, forgives all. Christian compassion does not deal in halfway measures but forgives utterly, so that a new life may be born where hardness of heart had created a death. Open your heart to creative and divine Love this day and let it pour through you to cleanse and purify your heart.

We leave you in the Love and peace of Christ, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Hatonn channeling for this session comes from July 13, 1987:

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet each of you in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. It is a privilege and a blessing to have been called to this meditation, and we greet each within the group with joy, for to know the Creator in each unique system of vibratory fields that weaves the essence and jewel of each of you is an enormous thrill and privilege. It has been to us that the call was given this evening, for although we are not those which in the majority of cases work with the new channels, we find that to the one known as R our sent message lies within the range of configurations of reception which should make for the most comfortable and lucid feeling of contact.

We would say a few words about the practice of vocal channeling. First of all, we feel it is important to stress that channeling is not alien to the condition of humankind, but is inherent in the nature of mind, body, and spirit which is called personality, for the spirit dwells within mind and body and expresses itself and receives nourishment in such distorted or clear fashion as the body chooses to channel to it and accept from it. All of the life experience is, in essence, a channeling of some force, either within or without the self into each action of the self. Thus, it is the nature of humankind to be receptive, as a channel is receptive, and then to be a broadcaster, so that those who may find aid in your words may have access to them. Needless to say, the varieties of channeling are endless. There are those souls who channel such healing into the pie or roast that each bite that is taken at the dinner table fills not only the stomach but the heart with the love of the one who channeled perfect Love into food.

The vocal channeling is one way of being of service. That is all. It may be that the new channel, once having discovered channeling, may feel that its gift does not lie properly within channeling. This is acceptable to us, for we feel that the experience of moving energy from the subconscious through the conscious with the intention of being of service is a discipline which will inform and improve whatever form of service is undertaken. We are always extraordinarily appreciative of those who wish to channel our words. They are humble words and in large part our opinion only. We have been wrong in the past and shall be wrong in the future, for though we are many steps ahead of you upon the path of seeking, yet still we are finite and prone to error.

In this session Hatonn spoke of the concept of vocal channeling. They began by saying we would say a few words about the practice of vocal channeling, so we feel it is important to stress that channeling is not alien to the condition of humankind, but is within the nature of mind, body, and spirit which is called personality, for the spirit dwells within mind and body and expresses itself and receives nourishment in such distorted or clear fashion as the body chooses to channel to it and accept from it, and all of the life experience is a channeling of some force, either within or without the self into each action of the self, yet it is the nature of humankind to be receptive, as a channel is receptive, and then to be a broadcaster, so that those who may find aid in your words may have access to them, but needless to say, the varieties of channeling are endless, for there are those souls who channel healing into the pie or roast that each bite that is taken at the dinner table fills not only the stomach but the heart with the Love of the one who channeled perfect Love into food.

On November 19, 1987, Laitoss describe the basic nature of vocal channeling:

We would encourage your queries for as long as the information which is given in response to them has meaning to you. It is eventually hoped that each new instrument, through the exercise of its vocal channeling ability, and through the resolution of difficulties and queries, both from our source and from those serving as teachers, might provide the necessary confidence that will allow a new instrument to proceed fearlessly and even foolishly in the chosen art. Thus, we are happy to speak to any query which you may find necessary in order to enhance your own understanding of the process that is now being actualized within your being, my brother.

Most of all, we send you our Love and wish for each the joy that service to others brings back to the self. You shall be surprised by the Love that is mirrored back to you from time to time, simply because you have a wish to be of service. This wish is the legacy of the kingdom within, that kingdom which is often called heaven. Yet, does it not lie within, my friends? And do you not bring to channeling the very essence of that which is to be channeled? For are you not in God and the Creator in you? Thus, fear not the experience of channeling, nor be concerned what you shall say.

We shall be taking time in the next few sessions to attempt to correct any discomfort which may be felt by any of the channels, especially those who are new. May we ask if there is a discomfort in the neck or any other portion of the physical vehicle, that you mentally request that we adjust the contact. We attempt to be aware of comfort in the channel but must confess that we are not perfect by any means at correcting an uncomfortable position or influence about the electrical field of the body and consequent muscle reaction. Please realize that we wish for the channel to be comfortable and to not simply live through an uncomfortable experience. A mental request is usually quite enough. Repeat that request mentally as many times as necessary to adjust the contact, and if the contact is not comfortable after a small length of time, we urge the channel to relinquish the contact and we shall continue to work to adjust comfort while other channeling is going on. You see, my friends, there are advantages to being a social memory complex. We can do many more than one thing at one time.

Hatonn went on to say we send you our Love and wish for each the joy that service to others brings back to the self, for you shall be surprised by the Love that is mirrored back to you from time to time because you have a wish to be of service, so this wish is the legacy of the kingdom within which is called heaven, yet: “Does it not lie within, my friends? And do you not bring to channeling the very essence of that which is to be channeled? For are you not in God and the Creator in you?” Then Hatonn said fear not the experience of channeling, nor be concerned what you shall say. Hatonn continued by saying we shall be taking time in the next few sessions to attempt to correct any discomfort which may be felt by any of the channels, especially those who are new, so may we ask if there is a discomfort in the neck or any other portion of the body, that you mentally request that we adjust the contact because we attempt to be aware of comfort in the channel but must confess that we are not perfect at correcting an uncomfortable position or influence about the electrical field of the body and muscle reactions, so please realize that we wish for the channel to be comfortable and to not simply live through an uncomfortable experience, for a mental request is enough, so repeat that request mentally as many times as necessary to adjust the contact, and if the contact is not comfortable after a small length of time, we urge the channel to relinquish the contact, and we shall continue to work to adjust comfort while other channeling is going on, for there are advantages to being a social memory complex since we can do more than one thing at one time. On September 9, 1982, Hatonn suggested that any instrument feeling discomfort should make a mental request to relieve the discomfort:

We shall be working with our brothers and sisters of Laitos this evening, and at this time, for each new instrument who is desirous of feeling the initial contact from the Confederation, our brothers and sisters of Laitos shall pass among you and begin the conditioning process. A mental request is all that is necessary for the conditioning vibration to be experienced. You may notice any one of a variety of manifestations of this vibration. Simply request that contact be made and then allow yourself to experience the result. If at any time this process should be uncomfortable in any way, simply ask that the vibration be reduced, and if comfort is not immediately noticed, then request that the vibration be removed and it shall be done immediately.

We ask the new channels to relax, become aware of the soft soaking of the rain upon the thirsty land, of the delicate breeze which moves within the domicile which is filled with the pearly-evening glow of the quiet countryside. Be sure that your physical vehicle is quite comfortable so that there may be the focus upon the brow chakra and the crown chakra, for you see, we are moving through the violet-ray chakra of the crown into the indigo ray chakra of the brow, and when we have been able to journey, welcomed, through these ports of entry, we may then activate the blue-ray energy center and communicate our humble thoughts.

As we work, may we ask that when the name is heard or felt within the mind, that it simply be repeated, that is, what phrase that is heard needs to repeated word for word. The reason that this is necessary is that the mechanism is such that it is like a game of pitch and catch. First one concept cluster, ranging from one word to quite a few, is thrown or tossed at the channel. The channel catches it with the metaphorical hand of consciousness and then throws it on just as it was received, leaving the catching hand empty for the next concept to occur. When this realization of concept occurs, then simply repeat that which has been heard, refraining from analyzing the message, evaluating it, doubting its reality or any other thought which will move one from that point of concentration which is focused entirely upon catching the concepts that flow one at a time from the subconscious.

Hatonn continued by saying we ask the new channels to relax and become aware of the soaking rain upon the thirsty land, of the delicate breeze which moves within the domicile which is filled with the glow of the quiet countryside, but be sure that your body is comfortable, so there may be the focus upon the brow chakra and the crown chakra, for we are moving through the violet-ray chakra of the crown into the indigo ray chakra of the brow, and when we have been able to journey through these ports of entry, we will activate the blue-ray energy center and communicate our humble thoughts. Then Hatonn said as we work we ask that when the name is heard within the mind, that it be repeated word for word, and the reason that this is necessary is that the mechanism is such that it is like a game of pitch and catch where one concept cluster of one word to quite a few words is thrown at the channel that catches it with the hand of consciousness and then throws it on just as it was received, leaving the catching hand empty for the next concept to occur, so when this realization of concept occurs, then repeat that which has been heard, refraining from analyzing the message, which will move one from that point of concentration which is focused upon catching the concepts that flow one at a time from the subconscious. On September 29, 1985, Hatonn spoke of how they use the concept cluster in the vocal channeling process:

The concept cluster approach is the one we often use due to the fact that it is more comforting to an instrument to know a little of what is ahead so that the instrument does not feel like a perfect fool. However, we can use an instrument more accurately if we are able to feed the instrument one word at a time. And this we shall do this evening.

We would now like to work with the instrument known as K. We have become most affectionate towards this seeker and can only thank this seeker that those of the Confederation have been most generously called and are able thus to accompany this entity. We greet the one known as K, and would like to exercise her channel, if she would relax, refrain from analyzing, and speak that which occurs within. We shall transfer at this time. I am Hatonn.

(K channeling)

I am Hatonn, and I greet you once again in Love and Light through this instrument. We find this instrument is experiencing some surprise, adjusting to once again speaking the thoughts which are [inaudible] as she has been accustomed the last few months to… [The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We are making some contact with the new instrument known as R, but there is a good deal of adjusting to do, and we would request that the instrument remain calm and comfortable and wait for our greeting. We will send only the words, “I am Hatonn,” and will attempt to continue to adjust, sending that few words until the instrument is aware of that concept moving through the veil of consciousness. Again, we ask the new instrument to relax, refrain from analysis, and to repeat what occurs within the mind. We thank this new instrument for embarking upon this path and hope that we may make ourselves known at this time. We are those of Hatonn, and will now transfer to the one known as R.

(R channeling)

I am Hatonn.

[The rest of this channeling was not transcribed.]

(Carla channeling)

I am Hatonn. We rejoice at the ease of contact with this instrument and apologize for causing slight discomfort. We shall, each time we work with the new instrument, attempt to ameliorate the effect of contact. For the most part these effects do not continue for long unless it is requested by the instrument.

You form a ring, my friends, as you sit about the room of your domicile. The domicile forms a ring about you, and the yard about the domicile and the town about the yard, and the continent, then the world in which you have lived. Then that great round, the galaxy, and the timeless, convoluted roundness of the creation itself. And each of you wishes to serve the roundness of the galaxy and of all creation. And the roundness of one circle sitting in Light wishing to be of aid to fellow seekers is equally powerful. We know you will seek to be stewards of the power which is yours for good or for ill, and we rejoice greatly in the Light and the Love…

[Side one of tape ends.]

…which you who dwell in mystery yet achieve through faith in the Light and through the will to know and to give Love. We would wish at this time to transfer to the one known as Jim. We are known to you as Hatonn.

(Jim channeling)

I am Hatonn, and we greet each again in Love and Light. At this time we would open this gathering to the queries which may have the value in the asking. May we begin with the first query?

Carla: Are you able to bring into mind the golden beings which were around Jim and me at our wedding, and if you are, could you comment on the possibilities in general of accompaniments from the inner planes and/or the outer planes at such metaphysically potent rituals?

I am Hatonn. Each seeker, according to the path which it travels, gathers to it those friends and teachers from the metaphysical realms which are ever present in the life experience. There are moments within the incarnational pattern which offer themselves to rejoicing and celebration and to the further gathering of those friends, both seen and unseen, which lend their very being to the ceremonies and rituals that signify the further enhancing of the potential for serving the Creator and for rejoicing in the creation of the Creator. Thus, within your own pattern of experience, you have also called unto yourselves those presences which respond in joy at the call and lend the brilliance of their being to your joyous celebration.

May we speak in any other fashion, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Hatonn. We find that the experience which has been shared this evening has been sufficient for the moment to instruct and to prepare for further instruction those present, and we thank each again for inviting our presence and for allowing us to move within your life experience and to become part of that greater desire to be of service to others who seek also the nature of the mystery within which we all move and the heart of which we are known as both source and destination of our being. At this time, we shall bid each a fond adieu and leave each in the name of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Hatonn. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “The Bible is literally true when it says that “the Earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof” and “Son, all that I have is thine.” There is no need, therefore, to take any anxious thought for our own well-being. As we forget ourselves and learn to be a state of receptivity, we will find ourselves filled with Soul-power, Soul-consciousness, Soul-resources, and our lives will be filled with the company of Soul-filled men and women sharing the joys of their discoveries with us.

The mind that was in Christ Jesus is not afar off, nor is it the mind of only a few great religious leaders: the mind that was in Christ Jesus is your mind, and it is ready to impart itself to you as you forget self and become receptive to the divine wisdom within you. The resources of Soul are waiting at the door of your consciousness ready to pour forth more that you can accept, but not to satisfy some personal or selfish desire. These false desires are the stumbling blocks to our spiritual development, and we must not think to use our spiritual powers to gain personal and selfish ends. The song of the Soul is freedom, joy, and the eternal bliss; the song of the Soul is Love to all humankind; the song of the Soul is you.”

Later this morning I took my 15^th Raccoon, since last November, to a rural area in southern Indiana and released it, so that it would not be able to eat any of my Goldfish. When I got back home, I used Whip Lash to finish weeding the backyard. Then I picked up all of the small tree limbs in the backyard and put them in a garbage can for yard waste pickup tomorrow.

This afternoon I co-hosted the European Law of One Telegram group. Today I read Ra Session #83 to the group, and some of the questions that were asked of me were: “What was the value of catalyst before the veil of forgetting?” “What was Carla’s diet like?” “What does Ra’s quote about hitting the self in the head with a board have to do with catalyst?” “What was Carla’s greatest catalyst?” “What did I learn from catalyst?” and “Don, Carla, and I have any special way of piercing the veil of forgetting as a group?” It was another wonderful opportunity for me to feel the Creator’s Love flowing through each person’s question and their presence. I look forward to next week when we will be studying Ra Session #84.

After the session was over, I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food and kitty litter. My second stop was at Kroeger’s where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off a prescription to be refilled, and I bought some duct tape.

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

Stop

At This Very Moment

I am the consciousness of Jesus the Christ living in the world today and I greet you in perfect Love.

“Christ consciousness” is a term used by many, but how many feel that Christ consciousness within? How many seek the Christ consciousness within? How many ask for the Holy Spirit, which is that consciousness in the world today?

Stop at this very moment.

Stop and feel the beating of your heart, the pulsing of the blood in your veins, and the silence that has suddenly come upon your soul.

And then feel the consciousness within that silence. This is the Spirit of Love, the consciousness of Christ. It is strong. It is your heart. It is your pulse. It is your being. You have but to claim it. You have but to ask for it. The Spirit of Christ is your birthright.

We are here. Seek us that you may see, this day, with eyes of Love; with hands that serve; with hearts that are at peace.

We leave you in this peace, both now and evermore. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Yadda and Q’uo channelings for this session come from July 12, 1987:

Q’uo: We would focus this evening upon an aspect of Love and compassion which is very difficult to manifest while under the influence of the third-density distortions of mind, body, and spirit. We speak of forgiveness.

(Carla channeling)

I Yadda. I greet you in Love and in Light of infinite Creator. We not have very much to say, only wish to welcome newcomer to group and oldcomers also. We with your group very often, for we find that this group make many joke, and this is sign of some advancement among your people. So many on your spiritual path that cannot make a joke, that cannot laugh. This make the journey heavy and mud cake the feet of the poor pilgrim along the way and cannot go very far. Make yourself merry, my friends, be full of joy. Let it bubble forth, and you will find wisdom beneath the laughter. We go now, we only wish to say hehwoe—hel-lo. That better! Hah? We goin’ speak this language soon. We go in Love and in Light of infinite One Who Is All in All. Farewell, my friends. I Yadda.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of Q’uo, and we greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great benefit to us that you have asked us to share this meditation with you and to share what thoughts we might have with this circle of Light, this band of seekers whom we join this day. We thank you for the great privilege of such intimate sharing of heartfelt desires, and we assure you that we also have that goal of every seeker: to know the face of mystery, to be with the Creator in an illumined fashion.

How far we are all from that great and all-consuming goal, the Creator’s face, the articulated Logos. What a dear and precious mystery. That mystery is all wrapped up with Love, a Love that has been called compassion by those who seek to deepen the meaning of that word Love, that word which has been so abused, misused, and trivialized by common usage. Indeed, the one who challenges in the name of Jesus Christ challenges in the name of Love itself, and all challengings which are superlative and honestly felt, whatever the words of challenge, that challenge is the challenge of Love, that compassion against which nothing may stand. What is the nature of compassion? How does compassion touch each as each seeks along the path and finds the road rocky or smooth, steep, or plain.

We would focus this evening upon an aspect of Love and compassion which is very difficult to manifest while under the influence of the third-density distortions of mind, body, and spirit. We speak of forgiveness. What occurs when forgiveness is withheld? You may see the separation immediately. The one who does not forgive is separated from the one who is not forgiven, and then the one who is not forgiven may choose not to forgive that, and there is further separation. Indeed, before a patching up and recombining of the energies of two who are thus separate can be achieved, four forgivenesses must take place. Each must forgive the other, and each must forgive the self. If one were to visualize the pattern and tapestry of a lifetime, one would see those portions of time and space when forgiveness was withheld from the self or from another as being places where the thread, the warp and woof of the tapestry of life, was coated with black, sticky substance, which stiffens and makes ugly the tapestry of existence.

In this session Q’uo wanted to speak about forgiveness. Q’uo began by saying how far we are from that great goal, the Creator’s face, the articulated Logos, and what a precious mystery that is wrapped up with Love that has been called compassion by those who seek to deepen the meaning of that word Love, that word which has been so misused and trivialized by common usage, for the one who challenges in the name of Jesus Christ challenges in the name of Love itself, and all challenges which are honestly felt, whatever the words of challenge, that challenge is the challenge of Love, that compassion against which nothing may stand. Now Q’uo said we would focus this evening upon an aspect of Love and compassion which is difficult to manifest while under the influence of the third-density distortions of mind, body, and spirit, and we speak of forgiveness, but: “What occurs when forgiveness is withheld?” Q’uo went on to say you may see the separation immediately, for the one who does not forgive is separated from the one who is not forgiven, and then the one who is not forgiven may choose not to forgive that, and there is further separation, so before a patching up and recombining of the energies of two who are thus separate can be achieved, for forgiveness’s must take place, for each must forgive the other, and each must forgive the self. If one were to visualize the pattern of a lifetime, one would see those portions of time and space when forgiveness was withheld from the self or from another as being places where the thread was coated with a black, sticky substance, which stiffens and makes ugly the tapestry of existence. In 18.12, Ra described the nature of forgiveness:

Questioner: You stated yesterday that forgiveness is the eradicator of karma. I am assuming that balanced forgiveness for the full eradication of karma would require forgiveness not only of other-selves, but forgiveness of self. Am I correct?

I am Ra. You are correct. We will briefly expand upon this understanding in order to clarify. Forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self. An understanding of this insists upon full forgiveness upon the conscious level of self and other-self, for they are one. A full forgiveness is thus impossible without the inclusion of self.

Now, it is sure that no one wishes not to forgive. There seems to be no question in the mind of anyone who is seeking along the path of positive polarity in the third density that it is very desirable to forgive and to accept forgiveness, yet there may be nothing harder in the catalog of human weakness, shall we say, or distortion, than the unbalanced feeling of helplessness when one realizes one is quite incapable of altering the consciousness which is not forgiving. Hardness of heart among those who seek is very often totally unmeant and undesired. It is the nature of the third-density illusion of your planetary sphere that within the illusion you will be taken beyond your limits and fail according to the conscious methods of judging among your people. This is perhaps the most common source of the lack of forgiveness among your people—the difficulty of forgiving the self for having seemingly failed. Also, and almost as common, there are those dynamic tensions betwixt members of the same family which involuntarily renew themselves and prohibit forgiveness.

The chief roadblock stopping one from forgiving is the instinct for self-preservation. One who forgives is changed. Something dies, and something is born. Yet that which is born cannot begin to be born until whatever it was that was not forgiven has been done away with by true forgiveness. To hold the self or another in unforgiveness is to hold in a pristine and clear condition a relationship or a self-concept. When forgiveness takes place, there is a little death, and sometimes not so very small a death indeed, for sometimes that which is to be forgiven has been held in a hard heart for a long time. It is natural to fear death, yet the road to joy, or shall we say, the way to perceive joy along the road we all travel is to rush towards whatever oblivion must be embraced in order to forgive, for the creation that springs forth from the heart to one who has truly forgiven is a beautiful and fresh manifestation.

Q’uo went on to say it is sure that no one wishes not to forgive, for there seems to be no question in the mind of anyone who is seeking along the path of positive polarity in the third density that it is desirable to forgive and to accept forgiveness, yet there may be nothing harder in the catalog of human weakness than the unbalanced feeling of helplessness when one realizes one is incapable of altering the consciousness which is not forgiving, but hardness of heart among those who seek is often undesired, for it is the nature of the third-density illusion of your planet that within the illusion you will be taken beyond your limits and fail according to the conscious methods of judging among your people since this is the most common source of the lack of forgiveness among your people—the difficulty of forgiving the self for having failed, and almost as common, there are those dynamic tensions betwixt members of the same family which involuntarily renew themselves and prohibit forgiveness. Then Q’uo said the chief roadblock stopping one from forgiving is the instinct for self-preservation, so one who forgives is changed, and something dies, and something is born, yet that which is born cannot begin to be born until whatever it was that was not forgiven has been done away with by true forgiveness, for to hold the self or another in unforgiveness is to hold in a clear condition a relationship or a self-concept, so when forgiveness takes place there is a little death and sometimes not so very small a death, for sometimes that which is to be forgiven has been held in a hard heart for a long time, so it is natural to fear death, yet the way to perceive joy along the road we all travel is to rush towards whatever oblivion must be embraced in order to forgive, for the creation that springs forth from the heart to one who has truly forgiven is a beautiful manifestation. On June 23, 1990, Latwii spoke of how we can deal with the concept of unforgiveness:

Now, let us back up for a moment and gaze at the true nature of what occurs when a lifetime has gone by, and there has been no forgiveness. The hardened heart, with the rest of the physical complex of this entity, leaves its worn-out physical vehicle and enters a plane of existence in which it is quite obviously clear that there was no need to hold the grudge, to hold the pain, to wrap oneself in fear, disgust, or loathing. Moreover, it is seen by such an entity that this entity could just as well have played the other role. You dwell upon a stage, and you are actors in a very real sense. You may choose the lines that you will say. You are not bound by other people’s understandings; you are not bound by the moribund morality of hard-heartedness and unforgiveness.

You see that you have all possible mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical states within you in potentiation—not potentiated, but able to be potentiated should circumstances have caused your patterns of distortion and confusion to move into the difficult times of discontent, and anger, and hard-heartedness that precipitate a lack of forgiveness. But since you are between incarnations at that point, nothing can be done at that point in terms of correcting the situation and balancing, by forgiveness, that intransigent and inevitable movement on the wheel of karma. Only one thing stops the wheel of karma, and that is total forgiveness.

Forgiveness is based upon the knowledge of who you are. Two things are important to remember here. Firstly, you are the least of all, as are all who serve. You do not have rights, you do not have privileges, you do not mount defenses that armor you from others, for you are stronger than that, you have upon you the entire armor of white Light, as your knowledge of the one infinite Creator and your experience with this wonderful, and peaceful, and joyful presence increases. You must also remember that you are a portion of the Creator, and that which is forgiven by you will be forgiven, and that which is retained by you will be retained. You are beings of immense metaphysical power, and you squander your inheritance with petty grudges and hardness of heart.

It is very difficult to create an appropriate atmosphere for forgiveness using the conscious mind. The conscious mind is a kind of businessman, ordering things, prioritizing them, and moving them about. It is within the province of that great subconscious mind which is so important to the seeker that the seeds of forgiveness are sown, are nourished, and grow. Thus, the attempts to forgive by consciously stating, “I wish to forgive,” are likely to be failures, although the attempt is metaphysically important, and is a part of the soul’s history. It is more effective by far to await meditative time before doing work in the consciousness of forgiveness. If you wish to speed the process of forgiveness, may we suggest that you take the object which has not been forgiven by you and hold that object within the heart and mind, enveloped and encircled in Light, Light infinite and Light illimitable, hoping and praying for every good for that which you cannot forgive. Thus, you are engaging a deeper portion of yourself to begin opening doors, so that that which is unforgivable to the conscious mind slowly becomes that which must be forgiven. It cannot be forced; it cannot be taught. And when someone attempts to persuade the seeker into forgiveness, and does so on its own energy, then as soon as the intermediary removes itself, the hardness of heart returns.

Please remember at all times when you see hardheartedness in others or yourself, that you are powerful to serve as messengers of Love, peace, and joy. You may encourage, exhort, commune, and just be with one who is having difficulty, and by your mirroring forgiveness and Love to the one you wish to aid, you are connecting your subconscious and your companion’s subconscious in great echoes of compassion. Sometimes no word needs to be said for this comforting effect to take place. Never doubt your value to one another, for you are the Creator. You are Love, each to the other. May you dwell in a world where forgiveness is actively sought, and joy is nourished by all conversation. My friends, it seems while you are in the midst of the third-density illusion that the stream of your life experience moves slowly and endlessly. Yet, we urge you to make some attempt to realize how very fleeting is a birdsong, a small stream, and the wind in the trees are, how very short is your time to gain experience upon your beautiful planetary sphere. May you find zest and joy in your inward walk. May your eyes behold the creation of your brothers and sisters of air, earth, wind, fire, and all the creatures of those densities. May you Love life as you experience it, and may you find comfort in each other.

Q’uo continued by saying it is difficult to create an appropriate atmosphere for forgiveness using the conscious mind because the conscious mind is a businessman ordering things and moving them about, and it is within the province of the subconscious mind which is so important to the seeker that the seeds of forgiveness are sown, nourished, and grow, so the attempts to forgive by consciously stating, “I wish to forgive,” are likely to be failures, although the attempt is metaphysically important and is a part of the soul’s history, but it is more effective to await meditative time before doing work in the consciousness of forgiveness, for if you wish to speed the process of forgiveness we suggest that you take the object which has not been forgiven by you and hold that object within the heart and mind, encircled in Light infinite and praying for every good for that which you cannot forgive, and you are engaging a deeper portion of yourself to begin opening doors, so that which is unforgivable to the conscious mind slowly becomes that which must be forgiven, but it cannot be forced; it cannot be taught; and when someone attempts to persuade the seeker into forgiveness and does so with its own energy, then as soon as the intermediary removes itself, the hardness of heart returns. Then Q’uo said remember when you see hardheartedness in others or yourself that you are powerful to serve as messengers of Love, peace, and joy, and you may encourage and just be with one who is having difficulty, and by your mirroring forgiveness and Love to the one you wish to aid, you are connecting your subconscious mind and your companion’s subconscious mind with echoes of compassion, yet sometimes no word needs to be said for this comforting effect to take place, but never doubt your value to one another, for you are the Creator and Love, each to the other, so  may you dwell in a world where forgiveness is actively sought, and joy is nourished by all conversation, for it seems while you are in the midst of the third-density illusion that the stream of your life experience moves slowly and endlessly, yet we urge you to make some attempt to realize how very fleeting is a birdsong, a small stream, and the wind in the trees, and how short is your time to gain experience upon your beautiful planet, so may you find joy in your inward walk, and may your eyes behold the creation of your brothers and sisters of air, earth, wind, fire, and all the creatures of those densities, so may you Love life as you experience it, and may you find comfort in each other. On November 5, 2000, Q’uo spoke of how we can become messengers of Love:

Each entity and each entity’s choices are individual, to an absolute extent. Certainly, each walks with helpers. Each walks with Spirit and the messengers of Spirit, messengers of Love, of understanding, of support and encouragement, and an awareness of this level of Love from the Creator is helpful in softening that hard bed of Earth and in bringing those cold stars closer.

But Love is the blanket in which the seeker may roll up and rest at the end of the day when will and faith are exhausted. That Love lies within the heart and is accessible at all times. There is simply the choice made to crawl into that blanket and to roll oneself up in it. We greatly encourage this turning to Love itself, turning to the heart within. For at the end of working with change there is great weariness, and there is the need to rest. And this the Creator has provided for with a full and Loving hand.

It has been a great privilege to speak with you. We feel particular Love for each of you and would send you our blessings through this instrument. We wish you to know that at any time that you are meditating, and you wish us to be with you in that meditation, you have merely to mentally request our presence. We do not speak in a lone meditation, but many find our vibrations to cause meditative states to become achieved more easily and held for longer periods of time. We also find great benefit from sharing in your vibration. We would transfer at this time with thanks to this instrument. We are Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet each again in Love and Light. At this time, it is our honor to attempt to speak to those queries which may be placed before us. Before so doing, we would remind each that we speak according to our experience and our opinion, and we do not wish our words to be taken as anything other than that. May we begin with a query, my friends?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we find that we have in our opening message spoken to much which was upon the mind of one or two, and which for this evening will suffice for the answering of queries. We thank each, as always, for inviting our presence and for allowing us to speak our humble words to each here and to each heart. We join with this group in the seeking of the Love and Light of the one Creator through all experience, and we rejoice that we have traveled this distance with this group this evening. We shall be with you in your future gatherings and shall be happy once again to share that which is ours to share. At this time, we shall take our leave of this group, leaving each, as always, in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Everyone may have access to the Soul. It lies deep within the recesses of our own being. Desire for the higher attainments of life is the first requisite and then must follow a continuous turning within until the goal has been attained.

A good start may be made through the realization of the truth that there is more even to human existence than corporeal health and material supply. When we catch a glimpse of the fact that more dollars, homes, or automobiles do not constitute supply, that more travel does not constitute recreation, that absence of illness is not necessarily health, in other words, that “My kingdom is not of this world,” we are going in the right direction to discover the realm of Soul.

We all know how to use material force when we lift some weight through the strength of our muscles or exert pressure through arms or legs, and we also understand how to exert mental pressure as in deep thought or through personal will.

That there is a Soul-force we know, but that this Soul-power can do more for us than all the material and mental power combined is but little suspected. Perhaps one reason for the world’s lack of interest in this vast subject is that this great reservoir of power resident in our Soul cannot be used for selfish purposes. Think of the enormity of this—a great marvelous power at hand, and yet it can never be used to serve a selfish end. Herein lies the secret of why so few achieve Soul-consciousness. We only become aware of the presence of the Soul after we have freed ourselves of selfish desires, and in proportion to our desire to serve the interests of humankind do we individualize this infinite power within us.

It is right, natural, and normal that we live full, happy, and prosperous lives, but we can do this without taking thought for ourselves, for our supply or even our health. All of the good necessary to our welfare will be supplied to us in greater abundance that we can accept when we give up the effort and desire to get, achieve, or accomplish, and come more into the consciousness of desiring only to fulfill our destiny on Earth. We are here as part of a divine plan. We are Consciousness fulfilling and expressing Itself in an individual way, and if we will learn to keep our thought away from ourselves and away from the fear that we will be without space, or income, or health, and let God fulfill Its destiny through us or as us, we will really find all things added unto us.”

Later this morning I went outside and used Whip Lash to weed in front of my home and half of my back yard. Then I went back over to Economical Aquatic Gardens and bought a larger pump for my fishpond. After I got it installed the fountain was much higher than before, so the problem is solved!

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

July 21

How Love Shows Forth

I am the principle of the Love exemplified by Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

Many times, those who seek the Love of Christ with the most effort are those who mistake that Love, thinking that it may show forth in one way instead of another. In actuality the Spirit of Love moves in as many ways as do those sons and daughters of the Lord who spend their lives in many and various conditions.

Love is not merely a strong and vital creative force. It also contains that subtlety which partakes of wisdom. Thus, the Spirit may appear in a different way for each entity. Trust that, no matter what your situation, the Spirit of Love is willing to transform each experience, if you invite that Spirit to enter the heart of your being.

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 the Creator’s 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 June 26, 1987:

“Q’uo: You have asked about the metaphysical meaning and implications of covenants, for that is what your marriage is, a covenant, a promise made by two people to each other for a specified span of time and with specified conditions.”

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. I greet you in the Love that ties together all that there is, that matches that that cannot be matched, that reconciles those things which cannot be reconciled, and I greet you in Light, the Light of all manifestation, of all spiritual knowledge, and of all being. I greet you in the one great original Thought of the infinite Creator, for it is in that spirit that we come and that you call us. How grateful we are to be asked to share in your meditation and to blend our vibratory patterns with your own. And how charming the sounds of your domicile and the surrounding neighborhood sound to us as we are able to use this instrument’s senses to hear as you hear. It is a very special treat.

You have asked about the metaphysical meaning and implications of covenants, for that is what your marriage is, a covenant, a promise made by two people to each other for a specified span of time and with specified conditions. What is the function of a covenant? Why do seekers find a universal necessity for finding promises and believing in them? A promise may perhaps be compared to a journey. One who has no clear goal makes an aimless trip and learns many interesting things and grows from the experience. There is grace and beauty to all that happens, yet perhaps the traveler at the end of the journey is disappointed, without being able to put their finger upon the source of the disappointment. Had the seeker who wished to go on a journey thought quietly, they might have set for themself conditions and goals that would give the journey structure and a summit, a place which, having been reached, would serve as a marvelous foundation from which to look back and gather information upon the implications of the journey.

Your people have been able to create many, many varieties of acceptable mating procedures. The largest and most common solution to the question of how to handle your people’s attractions for each other has been called marriage, and as a social garment it wears well and does the job which the culture requires of it, providing for the care of children and the peaceable life of all people. Looked at from this point of view, there is no spiritual benefit to be gained from a marriage ceremony, and many of those who enter into marriage certainly do not have the desire to seek out the metaphysical implications of the mated relationship which has been blessed by your orthodox religion. It is merely a commonplace of life, that which is to be done when two people feel that they have fallen in love. Indeed, many of those who wander to your planet find themselves virtually unable to understand or grasp why their brothers and sisters indulge in such a foolish practice.

In this session Q’uo spoke about the metaphysical meaning of covenants like marriages. They began by saying you have asked about the metaphysical meaning of covenants, for that is what your marriage is, a covenant, a promise made by two people to each other for a specified span of time and with specified conditions, so: “What is the function of a covenant? Why do seekers find a universal necessity for finding promises and believing in them?” Then Q’uo said a promise may be compared to a journey, and one who has no goal makes an aimless trip and grows from the experience, so there is grace and beauty to all that happens, yet the traveler at the end of the journey is disappointed at being unable to put their finger on the source of the disappointment, but if the seeker who wished to go on a journey thought about it quietly, they might have set conditions and goals that would give the journey structure and a place which, having been reached, would serve as a foundation from which to look back and gather information upon the implications of the journey. Q’uo went on to say your people have been able to create many varieties of acceptable mating procedures, and the most common solution to the question of how to handle your people’s attractions for each other has been marriage, so as a social garment it wears well and does the job which the culture requires of it, providing for the care of children and the peaceable life of all people, but looked at from this point of view, there is no spiritual benefit to be gained from a marriage ceremony, and many of those who enter into marriage do not have the desire to seek out the metaphysical implications of the mated relationship which has been blessed by your religions, yet it is a commonplace of life, that which is to be done when two people feel that they have fallen in love, for many of those who wander to your planet find themselves unable to understand why their brothers and sisters indulge in such a foolish practice. On September 21, 2003, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the mated relationship:

The great gift of a mated relationship is that all things can be spoken of and may be spoken of. There is permission given from one open heart to another open heart to live fully as one. Were only two to become one, this is, indeed, a great thing. Yet, the added gift of the mated relationship is that there is normally some sort of ceremony within which the Creator is invited to join the union and to give life to the union that is so dearly wished. It may be seen simply as a blessing by those who attend the religious service and gaze upon such ritual as a social exercise or, indeed, a business proposition in which a contract is made with no small print and a long term. The value, however, within the spiritual or metaphysical universe, that universe that does partake of infinity and eternity, is that metaphysical values are specifically brought into the relationship to enhance the pairing so that it becomes a much stronger three-legged entity that can stand on its own and be that house in which two entities may live, the walls of which are made of hopes, and dreams, and Love, but the floor of which is made of real effort, substantial work, and deep sacrifices between each to each.

Yet, there is a great potential for the partners in the marriage ceremony, the potential of the travelers who decide upon their destination and some of the conditions of the journey before they begin, thus shaping perceived experience along the biases of a metaphysically rich life. The first area to be studied with care and prepared for carefully is the marriage service itself, for there the covenant is made. There spiritual principles are evoked to come to life in the relationship and in the spiritual children of that relationship—the man and the woman which have agreed to work for transformation through marriage. The language of your western culture’s marriage ceremonies, though general, is quite adequate to show the covenant as being spiritual, mental, and physical. The promises have to do with honoring, cherishing, serving, and loving under any conditions whatsoever. Thus, metaphysically speaking, the marriage ceremony is among the most stringent possible promises or covenants, and requires the greatest degree of which the seeker is capable of loyalty, patience and sacrifice, for those who prepare for the ceremony as they think upon those promises know that difficulties will ensue at an unpredicted time or place with an unpredictable extremity.

Yet, past experience teaches that experience is always variable and that the changes come without warning. Only those entities which believe that they may have a creative effect upon their environment can honestly promise such a covenant, for in the natural run of things, the seeker stumbles often and may, indeed, fail to keep the promises of that long-ago ceremony. And so, one prepares for the promise by visualizing and accepting the better and the worse, the balance of all things which shall come after the promise is given. The second area or arena of importance is that which is immediately lost sight of by those seekers which have entered into the covenant of marriage, and that is the life experience whose shape is too large for the mind within the incarnational experience to picture or fathom. Yet, it is well for the metaphysically oriented seeker to bring into the mind each day the remembrance of the shape of the covenant, the life experience. That which occurs in a day, or a week, or a month, or a year has a far different aspect when looked upon as a part of one unified experience which ends with physical death than it would have if looked upon immediately or in the context of the present moment. Certainly, the experience at the end of the covenant, when one of the two marches towards new life and the death of the physical body, is transformed by remembering that this experience, even if it be years long, is only a small part of the entire experience of the promise.

Q’uo went on to say there is potential for the partners in the marriage ceremony who decide upon their destination and some of the conditions of the journey before they begin, thus shaping experience along the biases of a metaphysically rich life, and the first area to be studied with care and prepared for is the marriage service, for there the covenant is made, and spiritual principles are evoked to come to life in the relationship and in the spiritual children of that relationship: the man and the woman which have agreed to work for transformation through marriage, and the language of your western culture’s marriage ceremonies is quite adequate to show the covenant as being spiritual, mental, and physical, for the promises have to do with serving and loving under any conditions, but the marriage ceremony is among the most demanding promises and requires the greatest degree of which the seeker is capable of loyalty, patience, and sacrifice, for those who prepare for the ceremony as they think upon those promises and know that difficulties will occur at an unpredicted time or place with an unpredictable extremity. Q’uo went on to say past experience teaches that experience is always variable, and that changes come without warning, for only those entities which believe that they have a creative effect upon their environment can promise such a covenant, so the seeker stumbles often and may fail to keep the promises of that long-ago ceremony, and as one prepares for the promise by visualizing and accepting the better and the worse, the balance of all things shall come after the promise is given, so the second area of importance is that which is immediately lost sight of by those seekers which have entered into the covenant of marriage, and that is the life experience whose shape is too large for the mind within the incarnational experience to picture, yet it is well for the metaphysically oriented seeker to bring into the mind each day the remembrance of the shape of the covenant because that which occurs in a day, or a month, or a year has a different aspect when looked upon as a part of one unified experience which ends with physical death than it would have if looked upon in the context of the present moment, but the experience at the end of the covenant, when one of the two marches towards new life and the death of the physical body, is transformed by remembering that this experience is only a small part of the entire experience of the promise.  On March 20, 1991, Q’uo described the nature of the present moment:

You cannot take another’s burden, in most cases. You have borne much in your incarnation. Worry not about that which is projected from the present moment into that which shall be a future moment. Do and be in this moment and allow each succeeding moment to be created from the harmony of this moment. It is natural for entities within your third-density illusion to move from the present moment and to reminisce about those previous experiences and to project those that may occur in your future, for the present moment is that which is the most illusory and difficult to comfortably place oneself within, for all of one’s life, then, is contained within that immediacy of experience which the present moment surrounds.

Let us return to the simile of the journey, for we feel that the question asks not only what the implications are in marriage, but what the implications may be for those who do not wish to marry, but who wish to do spiritual work together. Let us say that upon the one hand those who wish to do spiritual work together, but not physical or mental work together, are wiser to maintain the relationship of companions which are upon the road together and wish to help each other. It is a relationship which concentrates upon the present moment. The uses of memory and of looking towards the future are somewhat limited in such a spiritually oriented relationship. Just as the spiritual side of a lover’s relationship is fragmented and often lost, the journey taken by those who are spiritually agreed to journey together may be very rich and satisfying. Very productive work may be accomplished. Each may serve as mirror to the other, each aiding the spiritual journey of the other, and deep friendship may ensue, that friendship which eliminates time and space.

The seekers which wish to do spiritual work together, emotional work together, mental work and physical work together, all at once, take for themselves an added burden and an added hope—the hope of fulfilling the covenant. If each of you is a crystalline being attempting to hone, clarify, and sharpen that crystal which lies within, so too a relationship which has been stated clearly, spiritually and angelically is a crystal also, and throughout the life experience each of the two in the married pair may do all those things which are given to those who agree to seek together, yet there is also the responsibility for physical, mental, and emotional loving, cherishing, and honoring. The conditions are clearer; the responsibilities are greater; and the end result is a crystalline structure that may become part of the higher self of both in the marriage, not only within the life experience, but in the cosmic or eternal portion of the self, until such time as personhood is no longer. Those who have created the jewel of a promise fulfilled create a Light source that, like all other Light sources of love in the creation, are available whatever the time, whatever the space.

Q’uo continued by saying let us return to the simile of the journey, for we feel that the question asks not only what the implications are in marriage, but what the implications may be for those who do not wish to marry, but who wish to do spiritual work together, so let us say that upon the one hand those who wish to do spiritual work together, but not physical or mental work together, are wiser to maintain the relationship of companions which are upon the road together and wish to help each other, for it is a relationship which concentrates upon the present moment, but the uses of memory and of looking towards the future are limited in such a spiritually oriented relationship just as the spiritual side of a lover’s relationship is fragmented and often lost, the journey taken by those who spiritually agreed to journey together may be very rich and satisfying, yet very productive work may be accomplished when each may serve as mirror to the other, each aiding the spiritual journey of the other, and deep friendship may occur which eliminates time and space. Then Q’uo said seekers which wish to do spiritual work, emotional work, mental work, and physical work together, all at once, take for themselves an added burden and hope of fulfilling the covenant, for if each of you is a crystalline being attempting to clarify that crystal which lies within, so too a relationship which has been stated spiritually is a crystal also, and throughout the life experience each of the two in the married pair may do all those things which are given to those who agree to seek together, yet there is also the responsibility for physical, mental, and emotional loving and cherishing, for the conditions are clearer; the responsibilities are greater; and the end result is a crystalline structure that may become part of the higher self of both in the marriage, not only within the life experience, but in the eternal portion of the self until such time as personhood is no longer, but those who have created the jewel of a promise fulfilled create a Light source that is available whatever the time or the space. In 36.7, Ra described the nature of the higher self:

The higher self aspect is aware of the lessons learned through the sixth density. The progress rate is fairly well understood. The choices which must be made to achieve the higher self as it is are in the provenance of the mind/body/spirit complex itself.

Thus, the higher self is like the map in which the destination is known; the roads are very well known, these roads being designed by intelligent infinity working through intelligent energy. However, the higher self aspect can program only for the lessons and certain predisposing limitations if it wishes. The remainder is completely the free choice of each entity. There is the perfect balance between the known and the unknown.

It is difficult for us to give to this instrument our words, for the nature in truth of metaphysical marriage contains a third party. This is not a thought which this instrument finds easy to channel, however, in any metaphysical covenant there is a third party which overshadows both entities. You may call that being the Creator in whatever face you see. Perhaps we would do best to call it living Love. Those who do not marry and seek together, seek alone for the face of Love. Those who seek through the covenant of marriage incorporate that which they seek into their seeking. This gives to those who grasp and understand the metaphysical meaning of marriage a gracefulness and a tenderness that would not come naturally otherwise. There are other covenants that are most valuable. The covenant between parent and child, between friend and friend, between brother and sister, are all beautiful and spiritually useful. Yet, perhaps, it is in the completeness of the covenant of marriage that its great strength lies, for in no other covenant do two people give to another body, emotion, mind, and spirit. Two together then seek instead of one and one.

We speak now of the concept of failure in relationships. The promise of marriage is often ended with the equivalent of a statement of withdrawal or divorce. What happens then to the covenant in metaphysical terms? It is still valuable. It is valuable inasmuch as and insofar as the seeker was sincere in claiming the metaphysical promise for itself. It is the nature of illusion to entrap, deceive, and thwart one, and often it does occur that promises are broken, marriages end. Yet, metaphysically, the strength of the promise, the strength of the will to serve in abiding by the promise do much to strengthen and balance and regularize one’s inner seeking. There is, of course, no way for one, who goes to the place of the promise and makes it, to know for sure that the ywill be able to keep it, for within the illusion that you experience, various forces may be brought to bear which may break apart your foundation, and shaken from the roots that you have put down, you simply drift away, and in your confusion you wonder if there was any use to all that you experienced. We assure you that there is a great deal of use to all the attempts that have been made to keep the promises that you have made. Each day, each hour, if a failure seems to have occurred, it is well to remember that the failure is within the illusion, but the promise is eternal, not a promise to be kept eternally, returning to one mate over and over again throughout the endless cycle of time, but rather a Light which is eternal made by two which have become one metaphysically, which have sought together to mastery. We urge those who contemplate marriage, or who are engaged in keeping the promise of the covenant of marriage to center the self in meditation daily, and before the meditation is through, remember and bless that promise, for it is a vehicle which may carry two to unity beyond themselves with the face of the Creator.

Now Q’uo said it is difficult for us to give Carla our words, for the nature of metaphysical marriage contains a third party, but this is not a thought which she finds easy to channel, for in any metaphysical covenant there is a third party which overshadows both entities, and you may call that being the Creator in whatever face you see, yet we call it living Love, but those who do not marry and seek together, seek alone for the face of Love, and those who seek through the covenant of marriage incorporate that which they seek into their seeking, so this gives to those who understand the metaphysical meaning of marriage a gracefulness that would not come naturally otherwise, so there are other covenants that are valuable such as the covenant between parent and child, between friend and friend, between brother and sister, and all are beautiful and spiritually useful, yet it is in the completeness of the covenant of marriage that its great strength lies, for in no other covenant do two people give to another body, emotion, mind, and spirit, so two together seek instead of one and one. Now Q’uo said we speak now of the concept of failure in relationships, so the promise of marriage is often ended with the equivalent of a divorce, but: “What happens then to the covenant in metaphysical terms?” Q’uo said it is still valuable as far as the seeker was sincere in claiming the metaphysical promise for itself, for it is the nature of illusion to deceive one, and often it does occur that promises are broken, and marriages end, yet metaphysically, the strength of the will to serve in abiding by the promise does much to strengthen and balance one’s inner seeking, but there is no way for one, who goes to the place of the promise and makes it, to know that they will be able to keep it, for within the illusion that you experience, various forces may be brought to bear which may break apart your foundation, and you drift away, and in your confusion you wonder if there was any use to all that you experienced, so we assure you that there is a use to all the attempts that have been made to keep the promises that you have made, yet each hour, if a failure seems to have occurred, it is well to remember that the failure is within the illusion, but the promise is eternal, not a promise to be kept eternally, returning to one mate over and over again throughout the endless cycle of time, but it is a Light which is eternal made by two which sought mastery together, so we urge those who are engaged in keeping the promise of the covenant of marriage to center the self in meditation daily, and before the meditation is through, remember and bless that promise, for it is a vehicle which may carry two to unity beyond themselves with the face of the Creator. On October 1, 2000, Q’uo spoke about the value of centering ourselves in meditation:

Whether it be the meditation of one who exercises or walks in nature, or whether it be the more formal practices of meditation, of contemplation, or of visualization, or whether even it is a practice that uses the everyday things of a normal life and workday to repeatedly center the self in moments of remembrance, the basic tool is silence, the moving into the consciousness of listening within.

We are so happy to have been able to speak upon this subject. We would like to speak upon any other subjects which you may wish to ask about, and for that purpose we would wish to use the instrument known as Jim. If this instrument would be accepting of our contact, we would at this time transfer. I am known to you as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet each again in Love and Light. At this time, it is our honor to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to those queries which may be upon the minds. We remind each that our words are but the fruits of our own seeking and are our opinions, and we do not wish any to take our opinions as the absolute truth, but that gift which brothers and sisters in seeking give to those who follow upon the same path for their consideration in the further journeying upon that path. Is there a question at this time with which we may begin?

T: Yes, I have a question. If two people set out on a relationship, and it seems in the beginning that the relationship has a very high probability of either failure or at least a whole lot of very hard times associated with it, but that there’s one or two good things that could come from it, is it usually advisable to go ahead and set out on that relationship, that marriage, or that whatever, whatever the relationship is, knowing full well that there’s going to be a lot of really negative things to come from it? I guess what I’m saying is, is it worth it for the good that comes out of it, to create some additional negativity or some additional problem?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. We would begin by suggesting that even to the eye in what seems to be an obvious and clear manner, much is hidden within your illusion, for within your experience there is the shielding, shall we say, of the conscious knowing so that much experience is gained in groping through what you might call a metaphysical darkness. You live and move and have your being in mystery, and you seek portions of that mystery with every thought and action that proceeds from your being. With each thought and action that sums into experience, you are able to piece together more and more of the picture of the creation about you and your place within it. As you move into those relationships which are of primary and profound significance within this journey of seeking, there is much which the conscious mind will assume and presume to know. Yet, if decisions are made only in regards to what may be known in the mental sense of the conscious mind, then much will be missing that can serve as resource…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We shall continue.

The subconscious mind, then, through the faculty of intuition may offer much to one who seeks—the manner by which it shall continue its journey, and with whom it shall journey, and in what manner the journey shall be accomplished. We cannot tell you, my brother, or any particular entity, whether what seems to be the truth is that which should be heeded, for, indeed, even the most difficult of situations ofentimes presents the greatest of opportunities for learning in the metaphysical sense, even though within the boundaries and definitions of your illusion the relationship and the experiences within it have proven most difficult. It cannot be known before or during such experience what treasures are, indeed, gathered in the metaphysical sense. The entire incarnation then partakes of mystery which shall become clear to the far-seeing eye only after the doors of what you call the physical death have been passed through, and the veil dropped which shields the conscious mind from the subconscious mind and the greater portion of the experience about one.

T asked: “If two people set out on a relationship, and it seems in the beginning that the relationship has a very high probability of either failure or at least a whole lot of very hard times associated with it, but that there’s one or two good things that could come from it, is it usually advisable to go ahead and set out on that relationship, that marriage, or that whatever, whatever the relationship is, knowing full well that there’s going to be a lot of really negative things to come from it? I guess what I’m saying is, is it worth it for the good that comes out of it, to create some additional negativity or some additional problem?” Q’uo replied we suggest that even to the eye in what seems to be a clear manner, much is hidden within your illusion, for within your experience there is the shielding of the conscious knowing so that much experience is gained in groping through a metaphysical darkness, so you live and move and have your being in mystery, and you seek portions of that mystery with every thought and action that proceeds from your being, yet with each thought and action that sums into experience, you are able to piece together more of the picture of the creation about you and your place within it, and as you move into those relationships which are of profound significance within this journey of seeking, there is much which the conscious mind will presume to know, yet if decisions are made only in regards to what may be known in the mental sense of the conscious mind, then much will be missing that can serve as a resource. Q’uo went on to say the subconscious mind, through the faculty of intuition, may offer the manner by which it shall continue its journey, with whom it shall journey, and in what manner the journey shall be accomplished, but we cannot tell you whether what seems to be the truth is that which should be heeded, for even the most difficult of situations often present the opportunities for learning in the metaphysical sense, even though within the boundaries and definitions of your illusion the relationship and the experiences within it have proven most difficult, yet it cannot be known before or during such experience what treasures are gathered in the metaphysical sense, so the entire incarnation partakes of mystery which shall become clear to the far-seeing eye only after the doors of physical death have been passed through, and the veil dropped which shields the conscious mind from the subconscious mind and the greater portion of the experience about one. On February 3, 1988, Q’uo spoke of the value of the faculty of intuition:

Note that the critical mind is an all-important factor in the listening and evaluating both of the condition of the self as channel and the words which answer the challenge. The fact that these are heard mentally rather than audibly means, however, that the faculty of intuition be, in a balanced fashion, brought to bear upon the process. Indeed, at one point within this session, the instrument through whom we speak at this time was able to detect the gradual moving of the state of mind of the one known as D into that neutral area which is untuned and, therefore, far more easily sullied with negatively-oriented channeling.

May we speak further, my brother?

T: No, I believe that pretty much sums it up, even though a lot people have gotten themselves into some hard situations by following their heart rather than what their logical mind told them. I understand what you’re saying. Thank you very much.

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

G: Yes. I have one to ask you. What the value is of using crystals and sound on the spiritual path?

I am Q’uo, and we find that the objects of which you speak and the qualities of vibration which are embodied within the sound vibratory complexes may be used to enhance the finer portions of the spiritual journey in order that the inner eye may perceive with greater clarity the countryside, shall we say, through which the seeker travels. The use of the crystalline structure is that which enhances the seeker’s ability to perceive the finer and more subtle energies that ever surround one and enhance the ability to utilize these energies for the continued advancing upon the spiritual path. The use of any such device or technique is that which is empowered by the desire and intention of the seeker, thus, the usefulness of any such technique or device is in direct proportion to the purity and intensity of the desire to seek knowledge in order to serve others that the seeker of truth emanates from its very being and by which it empowers all that it does and all that it is.

May we speak further, my sister?

G: Yes, please.

I am Q’uo, and we mean by our query to ask if there is any further question which you might have for us upon this subject.

Carla: Well, I would ask—I was thinking—you kind of implied that a crystal by itself doesn’t have an intrinsic power, that it’s the empowerment by intention, by the use of the will in seeking, in, I guess you’d say, magnetizing the crystal that gives it its usefulness. Is that correct? I think of crystals really as being independently powerful, being able to focus and reflect light in different vibratory ways and people using that intrinsic power, but you’re suggesting that the true power of the crystal is extrinsic, in other words that it’s put into the crystal by the person’s relationship with the crystal. Is that true?

I am Q’uo, and we meant by our suggestion that the desire of the one utilizing such a device as the crystal was that which gave direction and therefore power to accomplish the work in consciousness which the crystal has as its contribution to such a seeker. The crystal structure itself is as you assume, that is, its power exists without a desire from another being to form it, yet such desire and purpose of intention then can direct the movement of energy rather than allow that energy to become diffused by the non-use in a conscious fashion of this energy.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: No, just a personal question about crystals. I seem to be sensitive to most crystals except diamonds. Diamonds are fine. They don’t bother me. I can wear them, and I enjoy them. But if I try to put a crystal around my neck or near me, I’m uncomfortable after awhile, and I don’t know why, but I just want to move it a certain distance from me. They don’t bother me on other people, no matter how close the people are, but they bother me in connection with me. Could you comment on that? I’ve never understood why that’s so. I’m sure I’m not the only person that has that reaction.

I am Q’uo, and we find that your query is one which we may answer in a certain sense without stepping over the boundary of your own free will. Your sensitivity is that which has increased in nature as you have proceeded through your incarnational experience. The crystal form, as we have previously spoken, is that which funnels various energies, and in many cases magnifies these energies in a fashion which oftenimes may not be in harmonic resonance with your own inner sensitivities which have become finely tuned and are easily upset, shall we say. Thus, it is well for your own comfort for you to either be careful that the crystals within your range of sensitivity be tuned to your own vibratory nature or removed to a distance which is outside of your range of sensitivity.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

Carla: I’ve always had the notion about marriage or any relationship that it doesn’t end. It seems to end, but, in actuality, if you don’t shut the person away or kill the person off in your mind I guess you’d say, that the relationship has perfect validity. It’s just that the person isn’t around. And I wonder if this is true?

I am Q’uo and as one might expect within a universe of infinite possibility, there is infinite probability that entities which have engaged in the mated relationship for a period of your time and then found reason to end that relationship yet continue in what may be either the conscious or subconscious fashion to share experience and offer a portion of the self to the other even when the relationship has in the physical sense been terminated. In many cases this pathway which each has forged to the other becomes somewhat dusty and falls into disuse, yet from time to time is utilized for the gathering and sharing of experience upon the metaphysical levels of experience.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: Well, let me clarify my first question because I didn’t mean that relationships that have stopped continue. What I meant was that it has always seemed unlikely to me that Love would just go away. It seems that if you have an experience of Love with another person, that the experience may end, but that the Love remains. As long as it remains in memory, it remains truly. The reason that this is important to me is that I have had more than one relationship in my life, and it’s comforting to think of the Light and Love that those relationships created as having a life independent of the failure of the relationship for one reason or another, the ending of it.

I am Q’uo, and, indeed, my sister, all that remains from any experience within your illusion and all that is ever recorded within the nature of the soul is Love. Whatever experience of Love one is able to create and to share within any relationship or experience within your illusion is remembered and is gathered as the true harvest of the incarnation. All else is but the means to this end.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we find that we have for the moment exhausted those queries which you have so graciously offered to us this evening. We thank each for allowing our presence and for presenting to us the gifts of your queries and your comments, for as we speak upon your concerns, we speak upon those topics which are a portion of our own being and seeking, and by sharing with you that of our experience, our experience becomes refined and enriched with your own journey of seeking. At this time, we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light which each has brought to this seeking. We are those of Q’uo, and we leave each in that Love and in that Love of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Then being too busy with the pains and the pleasures of sense will not, of course, reach the realm of Soul. Throughout the ages the invitation has been extended to humankind to drink of this fountain of living waters, and every generation has produced many men and women who have found eternal youth and peace within themselves. Every so often one arises who has drunk more deeply at the fount of Soul, and these seers have told of the kingdom within and of the life that they believed through Grace when this consciousness is achieved. On the other hand, many answer that they have great human duties which occupy all their time; others require so much time for sense pleasures, pastimes, and recreation; still others are immersed in accomplishing and acquiring.

More and more, people are beginning to realize that freedom from fear, insecurity, want, and ill health is not to be found in the material realm. Wars will not end wars; investments will not ensure security from want. Medicines alleviate pain but do not produce real health.

Some greater power than can be found in the human body or thought must be tapped to give us the happiness, and harmony, and peace that are our birthright. This power is available to everyone because it is already a part of our being. In fact, it is the greatest part of our being. As the iceberg reveals only a portion of itself to sight above water, so our human powers of body and mind represent not more than one-third of our powers and faculties.

The powers of the Soul are more real and tangible than any of the material powers of nature or invention. They operate on a higher level of consciousness but are made evident in so-called human affairs.

Soul-forces act upon the human body to produce and maintain health and harmony. They touch every avenue of daily existence as protective influences and are the source of infinite supply.

The Soul-conscious people of this world live an inner life of peace, joy, and dominion and an outer life in complete harmony with themselves and with al the world of men, women, animals, and things. They are in tune with their Soul-powers, and this constitutes their at-one-ment with all creation.”

Later this morning I went outside and removed the old pump in the fishpond and replaced it with a new pump to see if the new pump could create a fountain of water that is taller and longer than the old pump no longer could do without going out of the fishpond. Then I decided that the new pump, which I bought about five years ago, was too small. So drove to Economical Aquatic Gardens and bought a new pump that was the same size as the old pump. But when I got home and installed the new pump into the skimmer in the fishpond, the fountain was the same size as it was with the old pump, even after I put two bricks under the tube that the water runs through to create the fountain. Now I will have to get a larger pump.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some fish food. 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. My last stop was at Walgreen’s where I bought some note pads.  When I got back home, I used Whip Lash to weed around the fishpond, the pet cemetery, and the side yard.

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

July 20

Open To Radiance

I am the great principle of Love unbounded, the Love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in that unconditional and sacred emotion.

Dawn has thrust its rosy fingers into the night and pulled up the sun to make morning come. And now, as the mist of dawn burns away and another day begins, the sun above is radiant and generous, beaming its warmth and comfort upon all, regardless of each entity’s condition.

You are this principle, potentially, within this little lifetime that you now experience. You have within you a door to open to radiance, a door to open to the principle of unconditional and sacramental Love.

Are you worthy of such Love? This is not a question for you to ask. Rather have faith that Love Loves unconditionally and causes the unworthy one to be worthy. Know that you are in a state of forgiveness and allow the radiance of the most divine Love to shine forth from you this day.

As you move through a world of shadow and sham, be the Light that is true and real. You cannot make of yourself an inspiration of Light and Love.

You can, of yourself, will to be and to manifest the Love which pours through you and, as a channel, which you may pour forth in turn. We encourage you to be radiant this day, to feel the Love and the peace which is yours and all entities’, now and ever. We leave you in this peace and Love. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from June 21, 1987:

On why the question of death and suicide is becoming more prevalent in people’s thoughts, not just considering other people’s death and suicides, but thinking of their own.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator of whom we are all a part. I greet you furthermore in stone, and sky, and fence and street, and city. I greet you in the many details of creation, from the smallest to the greatest. I greet you in the riches of consciousness and of each others’ consciousnesses.

It is a great privilege to be called to your meeting for the purpose of talking about why many find thoughts of death and suicide to have happened into their minds in the last few years. We find that there are two parts to answering this query. One portion is more basic than the other, and it is with that that we will start. We have used the terms “the way of that which is” to describe the path of the positive polarity and “the path of that which is not” to describe the path of negative polarity. Both paths reach the same Creator. The mind is what is usually considered to the exclusion of any other asset or dynamic of an individual, and yet the body with its complex working arrangements and provisions for various contingencies of survival, constitutes another way of expressing and manifesting the path of that which is and the path of that which is not. The body is by definition both positive and negative in polarization. Like the path of that which is, it grows, expands, and develops. Following the path of that which is not, it seemingly dies. In general, then, you would say that there is a natural progression within the mind complex as the physical vehicle partakes less and less of growth and more and more of gradual self-destruction, that the mind complex would begin receiving as echoes from the body complex thoughts pertaining to the logical end of various minor frailties which begin to be experienced as a living entity increases in age.

As the body complex grows more and more to embrace the path of that which is not—that is, as the body participates more and more in that grand illusion of death and separation—so the mind is affected. Furthermore, as the body ages, so does the mind, and events begin to batter some mind complexes with their intensity. This grows more frequently as body and mind become more tired, worn, and the feeling of inadequacy towards the physical situation or the emotional situation deepens. We find that there is, however, at this time a second dynamic which has accelerated the process of what you would call aging. As mind and body housed together enter with the Earth itself new areas of space and new vibratory patterns of subatomic particles, the conditions upon your sphere are naturally changing, so that the mind is made more powerful than previously to affect the body. Year by year, as we understand your time demarcations, the body becomes less able to distinguish between the thoughts in the mind complex and the thoughts, if you may call it that, of the body complex itself. Thus, woes and travails, that would perhaps not come into physical manifestation but would merely be dealt with as situations, are now taking their toll in illness, both emotional or mental and physical.

In this session Q’uo spoke of the concepts of death and suicide. They began by saying it is a great privilege to be called to your meeting for the purpose of talking about why many find thoughts of death and suicide to have come into their minds in the last few years, so we find there are two parts to answering this query, and one portion is more basic than the other, so we have used the terms “the way of that which is” to describe the path of the positive polarity and “the path of that which is not” to describe the path of negative polarity, for both paths reach the same Creator, so the mind is considered to the exclusion of any other asset of an individual, yet the body with its complex working arrangements for its focus on survival constitutes another way of expressing the path of that which is and the path of that which is not, and the body is both positive and negative in polarization, and like the path of that which is it grows and develops, but following the path of that which is not, it seemingly dies, so then you would say that there is a natural progression within the mind complex as the physical body partakes less in growth and more of gradual self-destruction that the mind complex would begin receiving as echoes from the body complex as thoughts pertaining to the logical end of various minor frailties which begin to be experienced as a living entity increases in age. Q’uo went on to say as the body complex participates in the illusion of death and separation, so the mind is affected, and as the body ages, so does the mind, and events begin to batter some mind complexes with their intensity, and this grows more frequently as body and mind become tired, and the feeling of inadequacy towards the physical situation or the emotional situation deepens, but we find that there is at this time a second dynamic which has accelerated the process of aging, for as the mind and body housed together enter with the Earth new areas of space and new vibratory patterns of subatomic particles, the conditions upon your sphere are naturally changing, so that the mind is made more powerful than previously to affect the body, and year by year the body becomes less able to distinguish between the thoughts in the mind complex and the thoughts of the body complex itself, so the woes that would not come into physical manifestation but would merely be dealt with as situations, are now taking their toll in illness that are emotional, mental and physical. In 105.18, Ra spoke of the ultimate effect of the illness of our body:

The patterns of illness, disease, and death are a benignant demesne within the plan of incarnational experience. As such, some healing would occur by decision of mind/body/spirits, and incarnations were experienced with the normal ending of illness to death, accepted as such since, without the veil, it is clear that the mind/body/spirit continues. Thusly, the experiences, both good and bad, or joyful and sad, of the mind/body/spirit before veiling would be pale, without vibrancy or the keen edge of interest that such brings in the post-veiling mind/body/spirit complex.

It is thought patterns that have always been part of the vocabulary of humankind, but year by year these thoughts become more powerful. Thus, more than ever before, we find it is good to stress the precious nature of positive affirmation. When the mind despairs, grieves, feels anger, or has resentment, it causes the mind complex a certain amount of difficulty. More than that, as you have experienced with new diseases, it can cause physical illness and death. In the fourth density you will find that these thoughts are, indeed, of that nature, that is, that that which is thought occurs. Each entity has the power at all times to think into reality a desired result. Indeed, the most general of affirmations having to do with the faith that all will work out well is more medicine than any prescription which can be offered by any druggist. The positively oriented frame of mind is to be prized more and more, for it is the most efficient tool for protecting your third-density physical vehicles and insuring a continuing good association between mind, spirit, and body. The intensity of events and feelings not only has been increasing, but will continue to increase, until at some point—we would not wish to guess how many decades from now—it will no longer be possible for the third-density physical vehicle to dwell upon planet Earth.

However, it will be unnoticeable to those who live and die in third density, for those now being born among your societal groups have a dual activated body. You will find these new entities far more full of energy than one would think possible. It is an energy to which third-density physical vehicles alone cannot associate very well. It does not give each of you more pep and vigor unless the attempt is made on a regular basis to evolve the frame of mind into that frame of mind which avoids negative thought. This frame of mind, of course, is best pursued in meditation. Look at that which is your consciousness with a cold eye, in the abstract, and you shall see at the heart a gem, invisible except by faith, and surrounding it the rough shape of the unhewn, unfaceted stone. The crystal qualities are there, but they lie waiting for the skilled hand of the artisan to chip and facet until the heart of the stone has been revealed in all of its polished splendor.

Then Q’uo said it is thought patterns that have always been part of the vocabulary of humankind, but year by year these thoughts become more powerful, so we find it is good to stress the precious nature of positive affirmation, for when the mind grieves, feels anger, or has resentment it causes the mind complex difficulty, yet more than that, as you have experienced with new diseases, it can cause physical illness and death, for in the fourth density you will find that these thoughts are of that nature that that which is thought occurs since each entity has the power at all times to think into reality a desired result, and the general affirmations having to do with the faith that all will work out well is more medicine than any prescription which can be offered by any druggist, so the positively oriented frame of mind is to be prized, for it is the most efficient tool for protecting your third-density bodies and insuring a continuing good association between mind, spirit, and body because the intensity of events and feelings not only has been increasing but will continue to increase, until at some point it will no longer be possible for the third-density body to dwell upon planet Earth. Q’uo continued by saying it will be unnoticeable to those who live and die in third density, for those now being born among your societal groups have a dual activated body, and you will find these new entities full of more energy than one would think possible, for it is an energy to which third-density physical vehicles cannot associate very well, yet it does not give each of you more vigor unless the attempt is made on a regular basis to evolve the mind into a frame of mind which avoids negative thought, and this frame of mind is best pursued in meditation, so look at your consciousness in the abstract, and you shall see at the heart a gem, invisible except by faith, and surrounding it the rough shape of the unfaceted stone, for the crystal qualities are there, but they lie waiting for the skilled hand of the artisan to chip and facet until the heart of the stone has been revealed in all of its polished splendor. On September 26, 1987, Q’uo suggested that we avoid difficult/negative thoughts:

We would not suggest to any seeker that difficulty beyond that which normally arises in any life pattern be sought, for if one has the frame of mind of looking for that which is difficult, it might become the experience of such an entity that difficulty without resolution would become the pattern of the life experience.

Each of youhas some control over this process of crystallization of the personality. It takes a great deal of dedication to correct lifelong habits of negative assertion, and we are aware that although many may see this information and nod, very few will be those that will actually attempt a continuously positive mindset. Moreover, we find that among your people the distractions of your culture have become the dumping ground for negatively oriented thought patterns, and that often the ceaseless voice of the media speaks to those who have the choice between distraction and negative imprinting and coming face to face with the intense reality of the moment and forging for the first time a truly positive mindset. The desire to trust is in everyone. The belief in the possibility of crystallization of the personality, of betterment of the personality, of mastery of the self lies within everyone. The discipline which will bring about a continuous effort towards seeking the positive viewpoint in each and every situation is very difficult to maintain.

Yet we say to you that these things are but trifles of the moment. Much of what you attempt will be attempted in such a way that failure is inevitable for reasons that you cannot see within third-density experience. Yet that which has occurred within the mind will live and will be your new personality as once again you gather yourself together for further experience along the road we all travel, the infinite road to the face of the Creator. Failure, my children, is completely irrelevant to the value of your attempt. You see, each of you will be claimed by death, or so it will seem. The reason for this is that illusions are just that—illusions. They are created and they have their moment and then they pass. That which is at your center, at your core, is a portion of the infinite Love, the great original Thought which has never come into manifestation and is not manifested within you, but lies rather as the dynamo, the reality that fires and underlies all experience. It has sent out into the creation, for a marvelous merry-go-round of infinite proportions, your spirit in exploration.

Q’uo continued by saying each of you has some control over this process of crystallization of the personality, but it takes a great deal of dedication to correct lifelong habits of negative assertion, and we are aware that although many may see this information and nod, very few will be those that will attempt a continuously positive mindset, and we find that the distractions of your culture have become the dumping ground for negatively oriented thought patterns, and that the ceaseless voice of the media speaks to those who have the choice between negative imprinting and coming face to face with the reality of the moment and forging a truly positive mindset, for the desire to trust is in everyone, and the belief in the possibility of crystallization of the personality and of the mastery of the self lies within everyone, yet the discipline which will bring about a continuous effort towards seeking the positive viewpoint in every situation is difficult to maintain.

On January 27, 1993, Q’uo described the nature of the one great original Thought:

The Creator created a great original Expression or Thought. This we have called the Logos or Love. This principle, this Love, created all that there is by the articulation of Light. Yet all that is created is of the nature of its parent source, which is Love. The reason for offering Love, appreciation, a blessing, and thanksgiving to the infinite One is that the entity within incarnation is attempting to form its vibratory frequency more and more like that of the vibrational frequency of the one great original Thought, which is Love. The closer the seeker comes to matching that vibratory frequency, the more that entity will be perceived as offering praise and thanksgiving. This is true far beneath any articulation of words or even what you consider thoughts. Rather, it is in the nature of the way creation is built. That is, the original Thought expresses in Love, thanks, blessing, praise, and rejoicing. Thusly, it is not a Creator hungry for praise and thanks that requires homage of Its worshippers, but rather It is Love; It is reflected in Love, and in that infinite reflection lies truth.

And so, you explore, and report, and gather your strength and again explore. And so do we all. The fire that lies within you can never be touched, can never be altered, but can only be eventually found because you have honed the personality until it is brilliant and clear, and the properties of the crystal are yours. Then may you carry Light as the Creator is Light. You do this now, but in a distorted manner. You ponder now; you suffer now. May we hope that you also heed that side of you which is most in touch with the Light and Love within, so that you may see the impermanence of all that seems to die.

Now Q’uo said you explore and report, and you gather your strength and again explore, so do we all, for the fire that lies within you can never be altered but can be found because you have honed the personality until it is brilliant and clear, and the properties of the crystal are yours, for then may you carry Light as the Creator is Light, so you do this now but in a distorted manner, yet you ponder and suffer now, but we hope that you also heed that side of you which is most in touch with the Light and Love within, so that you may see the impermanence of all that seems to die. On March 23, 2022, Q’uo described the Light and Love within us:

Just like the spirit of the entity, the mind blending more and more with the Light: the Light within and all around, the Light of the Creator, and the Love which imbues it with purpose, and growth, and beauty. Such peace born of that blending with the Light is that eternal peace and is a beginning within each person as the song that was mentioned earlier shows. And that blending with the Light that brings the awareness of the inner peace is projected outward from each entity.

As more and more entities experience this peace born of Light and Love within themselves and is projected outward onto the field of their own experience, all the Lights begin to blend together the Light of the Creator and all the inner Lights of all the entities. And it is in this space in which the inner peace and the outer peace become one thing no matter what else is going on around them. This is the higher frequency of the fourth density that is apparent on the surface of your planet in whatever condition. And the inner peace and the outer peace, full of Light and Love, are made more and more apparent. Peace becomes like that higher altitude of which we spoke a moment ago that one perceives from the windows of an aircraft high in the sky a quiet eternal Loving peace that all living things can feel.

We find that we have tired the instrument somewhat. It has been some time since this instrument has channeled. We are disappointed, for we had more to give her. However, we feel that it is best left to another time. We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. I am Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet each again in Love and Light. At this time, we would offer ourselves in the capacity of attempting to respond to queries which those present may find have risen in the mind. As always, we remind each that we give but our opinion and wish that to be understood in order that we may speak freely without overweighing any consideration. May we ask if there is a query with which we may begin?

J: Yes, I have a question. It goes along the lines of the words that were just delivered. I’ve heard a lot of different things about the thought of the person that “takes their own life.” Some people seem to think that you hardly have a right to do that, and that you build up an awful lot of extra lessons, if you will, that you have to learn, as karma as some people want to call it, crime and punishment, however you want to view it. But I’ve heard other schools of thought that say that a person, since they are in charge of their own life and responsible for it, and a portion of the Creator, if you determine that that’s the end of it, you’ve done all you can here, you are justified, or you’ve had the right to go ahead and get out of this life.

Like I say, I’ve heard that both ways, and I tend to sort of lean toward the last one, but then again, my gut feeling, my emotions, would sort of make me afraid to do something like that for fear that I would have to come back and learn a lot of things over again. Can you comment? And is the answer to that maybe just dependent upon the person’s belief system, maybe it’s that sort of thing?

I am Q’uo, and to answer in a general fashion is misleading, for each entity is one which pursues a course of learning which has been determined by that entity’s higher self to be appropriate, each course being pursued within the confines of what you call an incarnation, where the scope or reach of view and experience is limited by birth and death and the veil which separates the conscious and unconscious minds. Thus, it is not so much the act itself within any one incarnation which carries the potential of building a momentum or bias which needs to be balanced at some point within another incarnation that is of importance, but the biasing or building of momentum itself, no matter what the action is which builds this momentum. For each entity within each incarnation seeks to pursue an exploration of the creation of the one Creator in a fashion which, in a cumulative sense throughout all incarnations, shall build as a structure of the soul, a foundation and framework which is balanced in nature, in order that the further evolutionary process may be constructed upon firm ground and partake of a symmetrical strength that reflects the wholeness and balance of creation.

Thus does each individualized portion of the Creator reflect the wholeness and balance of the one Creator. The entity within any incarnation is the one Creator with the full rights and responsibilities, shall we say, that one may ascribe to such a portion of All That Is. It may be, however, that when one leaves the boundaries of the incarnational experience, that the increased ability to view that which has come before and that which shall proceed from the incarnation will present to the entity a picture which will convince it that certain actions and thoughts within the incarnation are in need of further balancing experience, or that which you call the karma. Thus, it may not be said with definite surety that any one action or even a series of actions or thoughts will guarantee that there will be the building of the momentum, or karma that must be balanced within a future incarnation, for it may well be that such actions or thoughts are themselves the balance to previous ones which now in a completed sense will allow the entity to pursue further lessons in other areas.

J asked: “I’ve heard a lot of different things about the thought of the person that “takes their own life.” Some people seem to think that you hardly have a right to do that, and that you build up an awful lot of extra lessons, if you will, that you have to learn, as karma as some people want to call it, crime and punishment, however you want to view it. But I’ve heard other schools of thought that say that a person, since they are in charge of their own life and responsible for it, and a portion of the Creator, if you determine that that’s the end of it, you’ve done all you can here, you are justified, or you’ve had the right to go ahead and get out of this life.

Like I say, I’ve heard that both ways, and I tend to sort of lean toward the last one, but then again, my gut feeling, my emotions, would sort of make me afraid to do something like that for fear that I would have to come back and learn a lot of things over again. Can you comment? And is the answer to that maybe just dependent upon the person’s belief system, maybe it’s that sort of thing?” Q’uo replied by saying each entity is one which pursues a course of learning which has been determined by that entity’s higher self to be appropriate, each course being pursued within the confines of an incarnation where the experience is limited by birth, and death, and the veil which separates the conscious and unconscious minds, but it is not the act within any incarnation which carries the potential of building a bias which needs to be balanced within another incarnation that is of importance but the biasing of momentum itself, no matter what the action is which builds this momentum, for each entity within each incarnation seeks to pursue an exploration of the creation of the Creator in a fashion which, in a cumulative sense throughout all incarnations, shall build a structure of the soul which is balanced in nature in order that further evolutionary process may be constructed upon firm ground and partake of a symmetrical strength that reflects the wholeness and balance of creation. Now Q’uo said each individualized portion of the Creator reflects the wholeness and balance of the Creator, for the entity within any incarnation is the one Creator with the full rights and responsibilities that one may ascribe to such a portion of All That Is, but it may be that when one leaves the boundaries of the incarnational experience that the increased ability to view that which has come before, and that which shall proceed from the incarnation, will present to the entity a picture which will convince it that certain actions and thoughts within the incarnation are in need of further balancing, or that which you call karma, yet it may not be said with surety that any action or even a series of actions or thoughts will guarantee that there will be the building of karma that must be balanced within a future incarnation, for it may well be that such actions or thoughts are the balance to previous ones which now in a completed sense will allow the entity to pursue further lessons in other areas. On January 19, 2019, Q’uo described the nature of karma:

The karma that each of you works with in your daily round of experiences is that which has been accumulated over a great period of what you would call time, and a great number of what you know of as incarnations, and again, we would try as best we can to remove the stigma from karma, for karma is the collection of lessons that are yet to be learned, the opportunities to move closer and closer into confirmation and configuration with the qualities that you have chosen to learn in each incarnation.

The wheel of karma moves each entity forward in the process of spiritual evolution, as the entity is able, in each incarnation, to learn those lessons that karma has decreed. Each of you, being conscious of the process of evolution takes part in creating the pattern of your future life experience using the karmic learning or lesson that has accumulated as yet to be achieved. As you learn various lessons, you reduce the karmic load. You learn these lessons by programming your incarnation to contain opportunities to see the events in your life in a certain light that will allow you to process the catalyst, or the opportunity for learning that is contained within each such experience. You have an aid in this process in that that portion of your mind which you call the unconscious, or the subconscious, is well aware of each of these programmed lessons and has the function of biasing the experiences in your daily round of activities in a certain fashion, so that you are more likely to see these biases that are congruent with pre-incarnative programming in a certain light that will give you more of an opportunity to process the catalyst in the manner that will alleviate karma and move you further along your path of seeking and service.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: No, thank you. Thank you very much.

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

Carla: Maybe I didn’t understand you correctly. You said it depends upon the circumstance a little bit whether taking your own life would be balanced or imbalanced. And it just seems to me that any time you took your own life it would be a definite embracing of the path of that which is not, and, therefore, it would be an unbalanced act. You’re saying, then, that there are balanced suicides, are you not?

I am Q’uo, and we mean to leave the room for the possibilities that in some cases this is so. However, in the general run of the third-density incarnational experience, your assumption concerning the nature of the taking of one’s own life is correct in that it is a partaking in that separation of self from the incarnation which reflects the path of that which is not, and this path in its final form pulls that which is, and there must eventually be the balanced point of view which the building of the karmic momentum will necessitate within a future, as you would call it, incarnational experience.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: Well, it comes to me that perhaps Jesus the Christ was one example when he turned towards Jerusalem of a man who basically committed suicide—He knew He was in trouble when He went there. I mean, He was telling people He was going to die and be raised in three days before He ever went there. And He knew all that was going to happen, and it still happened to Him, but He thought that He could save other people by it. Is that the kind of suicide that would perhaps qualify for being in balance?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister, for the taking of one’s life, or the laying down of one’s life for the benefit of others, is an action which partakes of that path which is and that path reflects the desire to give of the self in a manner which is of service to others, even if the giving requires that all which one has be given. Thus, one finds within your culture many instances in which the life is given for others, and the giving may take a great portion of the incarnation, such as the sacrifices which many of the parents, as you call them, make for the offspring over a great portion of the incarnational experience. Or the giving may be of a moment’s inspiration, such as when one of the young soldiers, as you call them, throws itself in harm’s way in order that a comrade may survive.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: Then, this would presumably extend to psychic danger? If someone threw himself on a psychic grenade it would balance suicide more, wouldn’t it?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister. Though of far, far less occurrence, it is that which is indeed possible.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister.

C: Yes. Change the subject a little bit. Once the connection has been made between two people, whereby each can experience, each one is able to pick up on another’s problems or virtue, things of that nature, take on part of that to themselves rather than the other, fully experience it, such as one feels an emotional or physical pain and the other is able to absorb part of that. Once a connection like that has been made, does it ever break, short of death?

I am Q’uo, and this type of bonding between entities, my brother, is one which is of strength and soul significance, shall we say, and reflects the garnering of a great amount of experience, usually within a number of incarnations, though it is possible to build such connections within a single incarnation. These connections, when in place and functioning, are those pathways of communion which allow entities to share the conscious experience of the creation in a fashion which not even the process that you call death can separate. This type of connection, however, may be enhanced or reduced in its effect by the attention which is given it once it has been established. However…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. May we speak further, my brother?

C: How does it work if one doesn’t consciously seem to share the experience, yet it still occurs?

I am Q’uo. In this instance, my brother, we find the situation analogous to the piano which has been allowed to go out of tune. The melody is still recognizable, yet there is much of clarity which has been lost.

May we speak further, my brother?

C: I’m not sure I understand what you meant.

I am Q’uo. If one has neglected the conscious exercise of the pathway of communion that enables the consciousness of another to be shared with greater and greater clarity of perception and accuracy of perception, this accuracy and clarity will become somewhat muddied and unclear, so that the finer nature of the emotions shared is lost, and the more obvious or gross nature of the emotions is that which is communicated over the pathways which have been neglected, shall we say.

May we speak further, my brother?

C: No thank you.

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

Carla: I have another query, but I’m still thinking about what you and C just went through, trying to see if I could work on that a little bit, because I thought that was interesting material you gave. I took it that C was saying, “At one time there was communion, and then at some point one stopped wishing communion. Can it be dissolved?” And basically, you said, “It doesn’t get dissolved—it just goes out of tune.” Is that a correct perception of what you said? So, basically what you’re saying is, “By avoiding the harmonizing, or your desire not to communicate, deadens you, not the other person.” Is that what you’re saying?

I am Q’uo, and this is basically correct, yet it must be remembered that if such pathways are unused by the conscious neglect of either party, each will feel the deadening effect.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, not on that. I would like to ask a question about an experience that I had at the beginning of meditation. I was sitting with my hand in the other instrument’s hand and the other hand on the other side of my body and my feet touching at the ankles. And I got a heat buildup to the point where I couldn’t believe it—I was really steaming hot. For me that’s extremely unusual, especially in my feet. It got so uncomfortable, that just out of impulse I shifted my weight and I moved my feet apart and it felt like a breeze was blowing over me again, which is the way I usually feel when I’m sitting under a fan—which I am. What happened? Where was the heat coming from, and why did it go away when I moved my heels apart?

I am Q’uo, and we find that there has been in this particular meditative gathering the influx of energies from our contact which has accentuated a difficulty with the heat-sensing portions of feet, specifically, that have been in recent times more sensitive than usual due to certain effects of the medications which you have been ingesting.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: That’s interesting. How did I change the situation by moving my feet? It was definitely that movement that changed things.

I am Q’uo, and this gross physical realignment of the feet was analogous to opening a circuit so that the energy in this case manifesting physically as heat was no longer able to move freely and was thus drained away as an open circuit is wont to do.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: Not on that subject, thank you.

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

J: I don’t have a query, but I do have a comment, because I felt the exact same thing. I was sitting over here burning up for about ten or fifteen minutes. And I believe I took my socks and shoes off and that helped a lot. I was grossly [inaudible], so it was the same thing.

I am Q’uo, and we shall comment upon your comment. We find that this particular group is one which has for some period of your time enjoyed a harmonic communion which allows an easy blending of the seeking energies, and this greatly enhances our ability to make contact with this group. And with this enhanced contact, each within the group may feel some physical manifestation, the heat being the most easily and commonly perceived manifestation of the harmonic blending of energies made possible by this particular group configuration. We apologize for any discomfort which our contact may cause and appreciate the comments which alert us to these discomforts.

Is there any further query at this time?

Carla: Well, I’ve been pondering over in my mind—I’m afraid when I channel, I don’t really get everything. But it seems to me from what I’ve got out of the message, that we can help each other, not by throwing ourselves on physical grenades or even psychic grenades—that’s for heroes—but help each other by being there. In other words, it seems like sympathy, given out to another person, from some of the things that were said, is truly helpful if the other person catches enthusiasm from it or finds a more positive attitude from it.

It also seems that natural healers, people that can make contact with the harmonics of other people’s bodies, and minds, and souls, have got a real problem. How do they defend themselves from having a life-term relationship with everybody that they meet? How do they avoid the responsibility for what they know about people? Those were two other things that I pondered from the session. If you care to comment, I’d be grateful.

I am Q’uo, and, indeed, it is so, and has been designed in this fashion that each within your illusion has the ability to be of service to those about it in the most basic fashion of simply sharing whatever experience is of concern to another. If there is an experience which is difficult, in that disease or fear of any kind is brought into the conscious mind, the sharing of this concern with another is that which begins the healing process, in that the energies expressing themselves as difficulty have an easier movement through the being when they are freely discussed and shared with another. Thus, the entity with the difficulty is assured at the most basic of levels that it is acceptable to another and that another cares for it and is willing to share with it on the difficulty.

One who seeks to become that called the healer and which on a regular basis places itself in this relationship to another suffering the difficulty, the one serving as healer must, after a portion of experience in this field of service, develop the ability to give of itself to another in a fashion which does not retain the residue, shall we say, of the difficulties being healed. This manner or technique or shielding the self is one which must be constructed by the self in a manner which is congruent with the healer’s concept of the healing, the disease, and the part each plays within the greater picture of the incarnation in particular and the creation in general. Thus, the protection, shall we say, must be that which reflects the healer’s philosophy of life, as you may call it.

Carla asked: “Well, I’ve been pondering over in my mind—I’m afraid when I channel, I don’t really get everything.

On February 10, 2024, Q’uo described how healing may be accomplished:

The healing of oneself or others is that which can be accomplished by going deep within one’s own mind to make contact with the greater mind, the cosmic mind, the mind of the One Infinite Creator, which shows each entity that in truth, each is whole, and perfect, and healthy; that any appearance or perception of disease or illness is that which can be cured by allowing the Creator’s Love and Light to flow through you to the one to be healed, or to stay with you, if you are the one to be healed. Thus, it is not you who do the healing, but you who allows the healing energy of the One Creator to move through you to heal you or another.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: Yes. It seems to me, then, that you’re describing two kinds of healing where you could call one of them active, where the healer is sympathetic and sharing and takes on pain in order to ease pain, and impersonal or passive healing, where the healer is nothing more than a catalyst, and actually takes no part whatsoever in the healing. I gather the latter perception from conversations that Don Elkins had with Ra, and the former kind of definition of healing from what we’ve been talking about here. They seem to be two different types of healing altogether. Would you care to comment?

I am Q’uo, and this description is one which we would suggest describes one process, that of learning to become the healer.

Carla: I see. So, the thing to learn is how to get out of the way and not take on pain in order to ease pain but simply be there. Take in nothing, give out nothing, but be there and act as catalyst. That must be a powerful lesson to learn.

I am Q’uo, and, indeed, my sister, it is one that does partake of that quality known as power and the discipline which is necessary to seek it. Each entity within your illusion may serve as the simplest form of healer by sharing another’s difficulties. As one refines the desire and the practice, becoming a healer, one is able to move further along the line of learning this art, so that it is, indeed, without will, and a passive conduit through which the energies of the Creator may move in the most appropriate fashion for the one to be healed.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: Yes. And is that why the first person a healer must heal in the traditional mystical literature is the self, because until one can have the self understood and grasped, one can’t get it out of the way?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister. May we speak further?

Carla: No, thank you very much, it was very interesting.

C: The situation where you’re not consciously seeking to heal someone, but your subconscious continues, what best can you do as far as not going to the point where you’re damning yourself, taking along others?

I am Q’uo, and it is difficult, my brother, to speak in a specific fashion with the information that is given. However, there is one particular means by which such an entity may at once seek to aid another and yet refrain from absorbing the difficulties of the other. And the means by which this may be accomplished is composed of the heartfelt desire being generated for the well-being of the other, and this desire being given to the other without condition, while at the same time, shall we say, the condition of the other within the mind of the one seeking to heal being seen as whole and perfect and being given over to the greater forces of the higher self for the appropriate action, shall we say. Thus, to give without condition and to see the one which is in need, it would seem, of the healing, as receiving that which is needed and appropriate from those forces of Light which surround and inform each entity within each portion of the incarnation.

May we speak further, my brother?

C: I’m only just speaking from personal experience that I’m in a form of almost gun-shy of trying to help heal, but it seems like it still occurs though. It seems that without seeking to do it, others who have sought me out to do it, and I’m not at the time thinking that, yes, I’ll take this on, and want to share, but it occurs anyway, [inaudible] thoughts where it almost feels like it’s damaging to me, just going through the mood changes and physical depression that goes along with it. I know that I want to help, but it seems like at the same time I’m doing it involuntarily also.

I am Q’uo, and in this instance, my brother, we may suggest the reflective meditation in which one seeks the deepest level of one’s desires that one can find in order that the mind and the heart may join hands in one unified direction in order that the self does not fight against the self.

May we speak further, my brother?

C: No, thank you.

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

Carla: Thank you, Q’uo. It was very interesting tonight.

I am Q’uo, and we are full of gratitude for each in this group as well, for we have learned much during this evening of seeking which we rejoice in the learning and in the sharing. We remind each that our words are but opinion and we wish each to be considered as possibilities. We shall take our leave of this group at this time, rejoicing in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

The quote today from The Infinite Way is: “The Soul is a part of a person which is little known and only seldom realized.

Often those in the depths of some deep sorrow break through the mist of material sense to the recesses of their inmost being where they discover the Soul, or Reality of being. They become Soul-conscious, and find new values, new resources, new and different strength, and an existence of an entirely different nature.

The exercise of the Soul-faculties results in breaking the illusions of sense. All human discords are products of material sense and are experienced through the five physical senses—that is, all mortal inharmonies are seen, heard, felt, tasted, or smelled. Existing only in this material state of consciousness, discords and disease have their being merely as false sense, or illusion, though naturally seeming very real to the senses.

There are many means of securing temporary relief from erroneous conditions of health, wealth, and other inharmonies of daily existence. Complete and final destruction of error comes only through the achievement and exercise of the faculties of the Soul. The Soul is that part of people which lies buried deepest within and is, therefore, seldom realized. We use our mathematical faculties and our musical faculties because these lie nearest the surface of our being, and much more than these, even our ordinary business faculties and our sense of direction or even our artistic sense, but artists, and authors, and skilled musicians go deeper within their being and bring forth the great harmonies of fine music, good literature, paintings, sculptures, and architecture.

Hidden even deeper than these, yet within the reach of our own consciousness, lies the Soul and Its faculties. These Soul-powers when touched by us, come forth from within us and reach every avenue of our daily life, giving inspiration beauty, peace, joy, and harmony to each moment of our existence and clothing every event in our experience with love, understanding, and success.”

Later this morning I went outside and used the garden hose and sprayer to clean the filters in the skimmer, so the height of the fountain could get back to normal, but it didn’t work even though I put two bricks under the tube that the fountain flows through. Then I put seven 8’ plastic poles, spaced about 3’ apart, in front of the Vanilla/Strawberry Hydrangea plants in front of the fishpond, so the Hydrangea stalks could be upright instead of leaning over too far because of recent rains making their large blooms to heavy to remain upright.

This afternoon I went outside and hand-weeded the Flower Fall Mound, and then I hand-weeded the Liriope along the sidewalk in front of my home.

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

Your Attitude Toward Change

I am the Spirit set apart from the world to do the work of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

Your reaction to change sometimes resembles your reaction to an open or gaping wound. Many negative emotions are stirred. There is the fear of infection and the worry as to the progress of healing. Above all, change is seen as a negative to be endured and corrected.

The Spirit of the living God does not have this vision of change. And one who dwells in the consciousness of Love shall not have such a negative attitude towards change either.

For when one dwells in the world, change is destructive. Yet when one dwells in Love, change is sometimes challenging and always interesting and informative. Your foundation, that upon which you stand, is that which has been before the world was, has endured through all changes, and shall endure forever. You stand on firm ground.

May your heart be at peace. May you see change peacefully. May you embrace change in peace, joy and confidence.

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 the Creator’s 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 Quanta channeling for this session comes from May 20, 1987:

(W channeling)

I am Quanta, and I greet you in the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. We are pleased to be with you once again. It is an honor for us to share with you…

[Very softly spoken. The rest of the beginning portion is inaudible.]

We would like to begin this [inaudible] with a story.

There was a time when the earth was dark and [inaudible] to the Light of the universe. This Light [inaudible] desert of [inaudible]. There appeared a spark which [inaudible]. For the spark chose this planet to serve as a beacon to the universe, to speak of Love, to shine for a beacon of Love in the cosmos. [inaudible] wished that the planet…

[The rest of the story is inaudible.]

We are pleased with the progress of the one known as W. She has successfully responded to the challenge of initiating [inaudible]. We would like to thank her for her willingness to refrain from analysis and attempt to connect [inaudible] with the concepts which we have put forth. We would now transfer to the one known as Carla. I am Quanta. We leave in the Love and the Light.

(Carla channeling)

I am now with this instrument. I am Quanta and greet you through this instrument in the Love and Light of the One Who Is All. And so, you sit in meditation in 1987, attempting to ponder the mystery of the truth, attempting to see through thick darkness the outlines of eternity and to grasp the nature of the Love that created all that there is. And as we seek and grope in the darkness of our thoughts and of mundane concerns and of the world in general, we perhaps feel as though we have come not to the epitome of creation, but to its beginnings. And, indeed, that we feel that as much as do you, for though we are just a bit further along the road than are you, still we feel like rough diamonds indeed.

And yet, that image of diamonds is one we would ask you to hold before you, for that spark, that Light, that fire which has brought forth shape, substance, form and particularity brings forth now each of you. And each of you then must needs attempt to become gemlike and crystalline that you may trap Light, increase it, divert it, and become reflective illuminations of gathered Light, that the sparks may keep shining out of each entity’s eyes, so that those who are still truly in the darkness of earth and mundane affairs may see that there is joy and peace bubbling forth from the face and personality of those who seek the Light and the Love of the one Creator. You are part of the spark of the divine. You are the Creator to those whom you meet and greet and speak with. Thus, encourage yourself to seek Light, to dwell in Light and to commune with Light, for the story of creation continues with you.

In this session Quanta spoke about the Love and Light of the infinite Creator. They began by saying you sit in meditation in 1987, attempting to ponder the mystery of the truth, attempting to see through thick darkness the outlines of eternity and to grasp the nature of the Love that created all that there is, and as we seek and grope in the darkness of our thoughts and of mundane concerns and of the world in general, we feel as though we have come, not to the perfect example of creation, but to its beginnings, yet we feel that as much as do you, for though we are just a bit further along the road than are you, still we feel like rough diamonds. Quanta went on to say that image of diamonds is one we would ask you to hold before you, for that spark, that Light, that fire which has brought forth shape, substance, and now brings forth each of you, so each of you must attempt to become crystalline that you may trap Light, increase it, divert it, and become reflective illuminations of gathered Light, that the sparks may keep shining out of each entity’s eyes, so that those who are still in the darkness of Earth and mundane affairs may see that there is joy and peace bubbling forth from the face and personality of those who seek the Light and the Love of the one Creator, and you are part of the spark of the Creator to those whom you meet and speak with, so encourage yourself to seek Light, to dwell in Light and to commune with Light, for the story of creation continues with you. On February 6, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the story of creation:

We would ask you to think of those known to this instrument as Native Americans, whose rituals are based within the general category of the magical personality and seen by ordinary people as an everyday part of a naturally lived life. To entities within this particular culture all parts of the illusion are alive, all first density, second density, and third density entities share consciousness and are part of one ever moving, ever living story of creation. The Earth is seen as the body of the Mother, and all of those upon the Mother are seen as the children of the Mother. All natural elements, and energies, and animals, and plants are seen as various very lively, very energy-filled creations which are full of information at all times.

It is very instructive to see how simple and direct many of these exercises in enlarging consciousness are. The truth of enslavement to fear and suffering and other people’s wars and the possibility of choosing empowerment, freedom, and the spiritual path is one which lies directly in the path of every day and of every man and woman. It is not necessary to be extreme to become an entity that truly has a magical personality. Rather, it is a matter of moving through an awakening process and becoming directly aware of the self. Once this point has been reached—and this point is very realistically expected to be reached by one who attempts it—the universe opens and the impossible becomes possible.

The greatest amount of effort for one who is attempting to make this change is the beginning where it is that one must express the faith of that which has not yet occurred. When there is a very good psychological structure which would give characters a reason to pay attention and to begin to work upon the spiritual personality, the magical personality, then it is possible to move into your structure of character the logical reasons for characters to become part of a group which attempts to seek the truth.

We would pause at this time while maintaining some contact with each member of this group in order that the one known as W may, if both contact and instrument agree, experience some conditioning from an entity which has wished to use the one known as W. This is a delicate matter, and we appreciate the patience of those present. We shall now pause. We ask the one known as W to remember those things which have been discussed concerning challenging and, above all, tuning. Perhaps as the weeks have gone by, the one known as W has found more and more surely that nature of the self which aids so much in the tuning. We are those of Quanta.

[Long pause.]

I am Quanta and am again with this instrument. We are pleased that there has been some contact. We did not wish it to go on for too long a period at first, for it is beyond our ability to nourish the contact until it is more seated within both the contact and the instrument. There is a certain amount of delicacy to this since there is a crossing of dimension. We therefore greatly thank the one known as W and would now transfer to the one known as Jim. I am Quanta.

(Jim channeling)

I am Quanta and greet each again through this instrument in Love and in Light. At this time, we would offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to those queries which those present may have for us, reminding each that we offer but that which is our experience and our opinion. May we begin with a query?

Carla: What dimension is crossed by the contact in attempting to contact W? Is it third or fourth density, since it’s using Quanta and then back to third—is that it?

I am Quanta and the density that must be traversed is that of the fourth density which attempts to speak to one within the third density using an intermediary, shall we say, which is ourselves, that may facilitate a crossing for both the contact and the instrument.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: So, the contact is fourth density?

I am Quanta, and this is correct, my sister.

Carla: Thank you.

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

Carla: Is it fourth density and on this planet or fourth density from elsewhere?

I am Quanta. The entity of which we speak is of the fourth density with this particular planetary sphere as its home planet, for it has for a significant portion of your time and experience been a resident of the inner planes of this particular planetary sphere, having achieved the graduation previously as a result of the incarnations spent fruitfully pursuing polarity upon this planet.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: Well, I would like to make a guess that it’s one of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays, the group that the contact known as Ra said that one hundred and fifty of them achieved harvestability in the second major cycle of this master cycle, but decided not to go on, but rather to stay here and help others. Is it that group that is attempting to contact W?

I am Quanta, and this is basically correct, my sister, though there is much which must remain somewhat hidden at this point and left to the discoveries of the one known as W in the adjusting of the vibrations to accommodate this contact.

Carla: Yes. Well, sufficient unto the day are the revelations thereof. Thank you very much. That’s interesting.

I am Quanta, and we thank you once again, my sister. Is there another query?

W: I have a question I’m not sure you can answer or not. I have the impression—I’ve been working lately as a waitress—that I’m there for another reason than for just making a living. Is this part of the work which I am here to do or is this part of, is this sort of like a master plan sort of thing to be in contact with other people and awakening them to other possibilities? Can you give me any information on that?

I am Quanta, and we may speak by suggesting that there are no portions of any conscious seeker’s life experience which are not significant portions of the incarnational plan. Much is hidden from the conscious eye and all the senses of the seeker, even for those activities which are well worn within the seeker’s experience, for the eye of third density does not penetrate far past the surface of things on a frequent basis, but dwells in that realm where shape and shadow move and intermingle with seeming randomness. Yet, each experience and encounter contains the seeds of that garden which has been planned carefully aforetimes, and who can say when any seed shall be nourished sufficiently to take root and produce the fruit that was desired?

Thus, my sister, we might suggest that you look at each moment within your incarnational experience as that which is precious and sacred and designed to provide you the perfect opportunity for your own growth and your service to others.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No, thank you.

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

W: We’re going to be having a break in our meditations for a short period of time. Is there anything in particular other than the daily meditations which might facilitate the establishment of connection with this other entity I’m attempting to channel?

I am Quanta, and we can only suggest that the daily meditations be pursued with the regularity and desire for service that you have thus far demonstrated. It is the perseverance and regularity of perseverance which prepares each seeker to become regularized and crystallized enough to transmit those higher frequencies of Love and compassion which each has incarnated to do. Thus, the seeming mundane nature of setting aside a few moments each day dedicated to seeking and serving are most helpful in this regard.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: I have another query. I have been getting in touch with a lot of feelings around [inaudible], through illuminating them. As I do that, I am more capable of experiencing Love for myself and for others, and I have at times experienced what I would consider a lack of compassion towards, and I’m wondering if that is a true observation on my part or if it’s because I’m so used to old patterns that I do not recognize compassion in the new patterns. Can you respond to that in any way?

I am Quanta. You may find as you pursue the uncovering of those feelings which have long been covered that there spring up further feelings which may also require the attention that you have given to the first feelings. Thus, if any feeling has not yet found its fruit of Love, compassion and acceptance for any other entity or experience, you may consider pursuing that feeling with the same technique of magnification until the feeling draws unto itself its opposite balance, and within this balance of feelings then may be birthed the compassion which equals the acceptance that each portion of the one Creator has as its birthright. This technique is best accomplished, we find, within your contemplative or meditative states as the focus is much more finely tuned in this state of awareness.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: I’m not sure I fully understand the technique which you suggest I use in meditation. Could you be a little bit more specific and clarify it for me?

I am Quanta, and we have some difficulty with this instrument for we draw some from the instrument’s experience, and it is somewhat doubtful that this is helpful. However, we shall continue. The feelings of which you speak that are difficult yet for you might be taken with you into the meditative state and enhanced until they become large, large enough to draw to them their opposite. Within this balance may then lie acceptance of oneself for allowing the Creator to experience Itself through one’s feelings, thoughts and actions.

May we speak further my sister?

W: I have another question. During a discussion we had earlier this evening, we were talking about channeling and were questioning whether the person’s channeling could result in, like, a divergence from the spiritual path as opposed to—in other words getting too involved in the channeling and, therefore, not continuing on their own spiritual path and become too dependent on channeling. Not that I’m too concerned about it at this point, but it’s a good point raised, and I’m wondering in what ways my pursuance of channeling will either distract or enhance along the spiritual path?

I am Quanta, and this cannot be said, my sister, for it is a function of your free will. We are aware that many give great weight to the words that are spoken by those unseen and who utilize instruments such as those gathered this evening. When one allows any portion of the path of seeking to take on proportions that are larger than one’s own discrimination, then it might be suggested that other avenues of investigation be pursued in order to balance that which has been overemphasized. Any seeker may take any portion of the one creation and follow it to the Source of All That Is. The seeker who travels the trail most efficiently is one who moves with the lightest of touches and does not feel over attached to any portion of the creation, seeing it all as a portion of the puzzle, giving each portion its due and moving further onward.

May we speak further, my sister?

W: No. Thank you very much.

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

W: I have no further queries.

Carla: Nor have I but thank you very much.

I am Quanta, and we thank each as well, for by this opportunity of speaking through each instrument, we are able to learn the needs of yet another portion of the Creator, and move in a pattern of service that would not be possible if we had not been invited to join this circle of seeking. We look forward to each gathering with the hope of continuing our own learning and service. At this time, we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group. We are known to you as those of Quanta. We leave each in the Love and the Light of the infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “In this light, we see without the eye; we hear without the ear; we understand things not known before. Where we are, God is because there is no longer separation or division. Here there are no rewards and no punishments. Harmony in Life is not dependent on processes; we do not live by bread alone. We have the sense of peeking into heaven and seeing what mortal eyes were not meant to see.

Spiritual sense is not engaged with human good, and yet this Christ-consciousness reveals the harmony of being in what appears as our human experiences and in forms available to our present circumstance. Although “my kingdom is not of this world,” yet “your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.” And He supplies your wants even before you ask.

And He said unto His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

Consider the lilies how they grow; they toil not; they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?  And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you,

Fear not, little flock: for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luke 12:22-32

Later this morning I went on an errand run with my first stop being at Frank Otte’s Nursery where I bought a flat of Impatien Flowers. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My next stop was at Speedway Gas Station where I filled Stanley’s tires with 32 psi compressed air and his gas tank with premium gasoline. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Dove Soap and a case of Pepsi-Zero.

When I got home I transplanted the Impatiens into the Impatien Flower Garden in the corner of the Flower Fall Garden in the front yard.

This afternoon I visited Connie at the Providence Care Home in New Albany, Indiana. We talked for briefly about how she is doing. Then I showed her some pictures and videos of Mystical Joy that made her laugh and laugh. Then I read her some quotes from Carla’s Autobiography, and we talked about them and how Carla was such a great writer. Then I read her four stories from her Big Book of Women Saints from the last 300 years. We shared some thoughts about those amazing women, and then we had our usual meditation to end my visit. Then I gave her a hug, told her that I love her, and that I would see her again next month.

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

July 18

Yours Is The Power

I am of the living Spirit of Love which is the fully developed consciousness of Jesus the Christ.

How very un-powerful most feel within their life structures! My children, there is no reason to feel a lack of power.

Yours is the power to forgive, to have compassion and to change. Yours is the power to right the wrong that you perceive, to bless those things for which you are grateful and to give thanks.

Yours is the power to produce within your experience and that of those who mingle with you a sense of holiness, peace, joy, and sanctity, all wrapped up in the laughter and joy of unconditional Love.

How powerful is the awareness of unconditional Love! Never doubt that each of you is a powerful, powerful entity. Cast your allegiance and your desire toward the principle of unconditional Love and ask for the Comforter. And as you strive, you shall be comforted. You shall be inspirited. You shall be nurtured.

We leave each bright being in the peace of Jesus the Christ and in His healing Love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo channeling for this session comes from May 17, 1987:

From J, having to do with the nature of electricity. We use electricity, but nobody really knows what it is, the engineers or the scientists, and J was wondering if there might be a better description, perhaps even in metaphysical terms, as to the nature of electricity, what it is and how it really works.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. I greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. We rejoice at the joining of our vibrations and thank you for calling us to your meeting this evening.

You wish to know something about electricity. Indeed, many among your people would wish to understand this power and force in order that it might be exploited, yet all have firsthand experience of the nature of electricity, for that which is called electricity is one manifestation of the Love of the one infinite Creator. One might perhaps think of it as electrical desire. We find it difficult to speak forthrightly through this instrument, for the concepts which we place within the instrument’s head have no objective referent within her experience. However, we do wish and feel we are able to say through this instrument that there is no electricity that is free of the bias which is the companion of electricity, that being magnetic effect, for, in truth, electricity is a part of the way the Creator has drawn forth the created universe from that which was not articulate at the beginning of this creation.

The experience which most among your people enjoy in its appropriate time which is electrical in nature is the experience of your physical orgasm. That creative act is that which not only puts forth material which may become viable for a physical vehicle but also puts it forth in a biased manner so that there is an electrical combination as well as a physical merging of the male and female cells. Thus, each infant has at the very beginning of its life that which is known as electricity to thank for the viability of the physical vehicle. The galvanizing effect of your electricity is well known among your peoples, yet perhaps there has been within the mind and spirit the experience of the galvanizing electrical effect of some entity’s concepts and words, some entity’s deeds which provoke one to an electrical feeling of excitement, reverence or awe. Metaphysically speaking, that which is creative is that which has electricity. That which is creative is that which shapes. That which is creative is that which empowers.

In this session Q’uo spoke about the nature of electricity. They began by saying you wish to know something about electricity, and many of your people wish to understand this power in order that it might be exploited, yet all have firsthand experience of the nature of electricity, for that which is called electricity is one manifestation of the Love of the one infinite Creator, so one might think of it as electrical desire, but we find it difficult to speak clearly through Carla, for the concepts which we place within her head have no objective referent within her experience, yet we feel we are able to say through Carla that there is no electricity that is free of the bias which is the companion of electricity, that being magnetic effect, for, in truth, electricity is a part of the way the Creator has drawn forth the created universe from that which was not articulate at the beginning of this creation. Q’uo continued by saying the experience which most among your people enjoy in its appropriate time which is electrical in nature is the experience of your physical orgasm, for that creative act is that which not only puts forth material which may become viable for a physical vehicle but also puts it forth in a biased manner so that there is an electrical combination as well as a physical merging of the male and female cells, so each infant has at the beginning of its life that which is known as electricity to thank for the viability of the physical vehicle, and the shocking effect of electricity is well known among your people, yet there has been within the mind and spirit the experience of the shocking electrical effect of some entity’s concepts and words, some entity’s deeds which provoke one to an electrical feeling of reverence and metaphysically speaking, that which is creative is that which has electricity, and that which is creative is that which shapes, and that which is creative is that which empowers. In 39.4, Ra described the nature of electricity:

As you are aware, in the beginning of the creations set up by each Logos, there are created the complete potentials, both electrical (in the sense of the one you call Larson) and metaphysical. This metaphysical electricity is as important in the understanding, shall we say, of this statement as is the concept of electricity.

This concept, as you are aware, deals with potentiated energy. The electron has been said to have no mass but only a field. Others claim a mass of infinitesimal measure. Both are correct. The true mass of the potentiated energy is the strength of the field. This is also true metaphysically.

However, in your present physical system of knowledge it is useful to take the mass number of the electron in order to do work that you may find solutions to other questions about the physical universe. In such a way, you may conveniently consider each density of being to have a greater and greater spiritual mass. The mass increases, shall we say, significantly, but not greatly, until the gateway density. In this density the summing up, the looking backwards—in short, all the useful functions of polarity have been used. Therefore, the metaphysical electrical nature of the individual grows greater and greater in spiritual mass.

For an analog one may observe the work of the one known as Albert who posits the growing to infinity of mass as this mass approaches the speed of Light. Thus, the seventh-density being, the completed being, the Creator who knows Itself, accumulates mass and compacts into the One Creator once again.

There is an alignment of Love in such a way that Love is bonded in passion to Light, thus causing sense to form that which was made of no consciousness. The secret of electricity lies in its generative and creative possibilities, and, indeed, although this instrument is not aware of any information of this kind, we believe we can impress upon this instrument that there is a large body of material and research done by scientists for many of your years upon the fascinating effects of Love aligning Light, that is, electricity, and its effects upon living organisms. In your future it is possible that the increased understanding of electricity and magnetism as being Love and Light shall bring about a culture in which electricity may be used in simple and subtle ways to aid in the prevention of the development of diseases which are in some way egregious in the balance of one or another polarity. Electricity then will be measured in terms of its shaping ability, that is, its electromagnetic ability and its field effect instead of merely in terms of the force of charge or the amount of it.

However, it is not necessary for those who seek to uncover the face of mystery to wait for the scientific acumen to reach that which is intuitively known already among many of your people. It is quite possible to work with the meditative time in such a way as to include within the meditation a fairly intensive period of tuning the mind and spirit more and more keenly upon one galvanizing image. Meditation upon this image with fixed intensity will bring about a heightened and changed mental attitude. It is a difficult practice and one which sometimes may be slow in producing results, however, it is quite rewarding for those who seek the inner electricity which some have called ritual magic. The steady visualization of an electrifying image in order to evoke its wondrous energies is the purpose of many positively oriented magical rituals. The steady visualization may be of any object; however we suggest that the visualization object be an object which is, indeed, electrifying and exciting, evocative of all that is best and highest in the life experience thus far. The meditation is held in visualization of one image until the mind becomes fatigued.

Q’uo went on to say there is an alignment of Love in such a way that Love is bonded in passion to Light, thus causing sense to form that which was made of no consciousness, so the secret of electricity lies in its generative and creative possibilities, and although Carla is not aware of any information of this kind, we believe we can impress upon her that there is a large body of research done by scientists for many years upon the effects of Love aligning Light, that is electricity, and its effects upon living organisms, and in your future it is possible that the understanding of electricity and magnetism as being Love and Light shall bring about a culture in which electricity may be used in subtle ways to aid in the prevention of the development of diseases which are dangerous in the balance of one or another polarity, for electricity then will be measured in terms of its shaping ability, its electromagnetic ability, and its field effect instead of in terms of the force of charge or the amount of it. Then Q’uo said it is not necessary for those who seek to uncover the face of mystery to wait for the scientific discoveries to reach that which is intuitively known among many of your people, and it is possible to work with the meditative time in such a way as to include within the meditation an intensive period of tuning the mind and spirit more keenly upon one exciting image, so meditation upon this image with fixed intensity will bring about a heightened mental attitude, but it is a difficult practice and one which sometimes may be slow in producing results, yet it is rewarding for those who seek the inner electricity called ritual magic, for the steady visualization of an electrifying image in order to evoke its wondrous energies is the purpose of many positively oriented magical rituals, and the visualization may be of any object, but we suggest that the visualization object be an object which is electrifying and represents all that is highest in the life experience, so the meditation is held in visualization of one image until the mind becomes fatigued, for this shall occur at first very quickly, but the student will find that practice does increase the concentrated power. On June 19, 2005, Q’uo described the nature of ritual magic:

Many of those who have gone through awakening moments of realization, many of those who have gone through initiation in the sacred mysteries, as this instrument would call white ritual magic, have had these moments of seeing what this instrument would call the golden orb.

The experience of color in fourth density is different enough that it is as though you were, in the third density of consensus reality, in a black-and-white movie and suddenly walked out into the colored natural Light. Color, like everything else, is alive in the creation of Love. It is not held into limits by the physical limitation of the physical vehicle of your species. Therefore, it flows like a river. It has dimensionality rather than being a flat perception.

To achieve that quality, you have chosen this dappling effect of the sunlight filtered through the elders of beech, oak, and maple. It creates that quality of moving, so that colors can be seen to be streaming, beaming, and living. This is the quality that you wish to capture. This is the difference. Certainly, if you could photograph fourth-density color it would be a powerful, poignant experience in which colors seem to get incredibly intensified as well as being living and moving.

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and I greet you once again in Love and Light. We are sorry, but this instrument was feeling out of its depth, and we lost contact with it as it was analyzing. You see, there is no such thing as too much experience. To finish the sentence of the image.

[Pause]

We are attempting merely to reestablish the contact and thank you for your patience. We are sorry that we do not have an instrument with a larger vocabulary, however, we have found that in some ways those with no preconceived ideas of the nature of a thing often make clearer channels to the extent of their vocabulary than those who feel they understand a phenomenon and merely wish to improve that understanding. Perhaps what we would like to offer before we leave this instrument is the encouragement to view the self as a person possessed of the fire and brilliance of electricity, for each seeker has a consciousness, and that consciousness is of Love, Love unmanifest and unpolarized and Love electrified by desire. Each entity is incredibly powerful, making and remaking the creation each and every day of the life experience. Whatever this day has been, it is what you have made it. Whatever this night brings to you is brought to you as a favor to yourself by yourself. All is desire and the fulfillment of desire, and the more that that desire is carefully considered and single-heartedly placed, the more that the life experience will be heartfelt, single-minded, glad and productive.

When a seeker views the self as one which is acted upon by circumstance, one then sees the self lying down before the electricity of experience and having that experience burned into self. We suggest that the human desire has the strongest and highest electricity, metaphysically speaking, which is available upon the planet Earth in the third density at this time. Thus, the will, the heart, and the soul of humankind is far more powerful than any problem, any disease, or any natural phenomenon. Exceptions will be made in natural phenomena by appealing to a higher electricity, a higher creativity, a higher understanding of Love. May your meditations be full of the Creator which is Love, and as you muse and contemplate upon the great mystery of the one great original Thought which is the Creator, may you become more and more imbued with the sense that electrically and creatively you shall happen to your environment and to those circumstances which greet you. Let you be the actor which decides what part to play, not one which hurriedly makes entrances and exits without ever quite learning the lines. See yourself as powerful in Love and Light.

Now Q’uo said we have found that those with no preconceived ideas of the nature of a thing often make clearer channels to the extent of their vocabulary than those who feel they understand a phenomenon and wish to improve that understanding, so what we would like to offer before we leave this instrument is the encouragement to view the self as a person possessed of the fire and brilliance of electricity, for each seeker has a consciousness, and that consciousness is of Love unmanifest and unpolarized and Love electrified by desire, for each entity is powerful, making and remaking the creation each day of the life experience, so whatever this day has been, it is what you have made it, and whatever this night brings to you is brought to you as a favor to yourself by yourself, for all is desire and the fulfillment of desire, and the more that that desire is carefully considered and single-heartedly placed, the more that the life experience will be heartfelt, glad, and productive.

On May 24, 1991, Hatonn spoke of the nature of natural phenomena:

I am Hatonn, and we would suggest, my sister, that in instances such as the eruptions of volcanoes, the occurrence of earthquakes and other natural phenomena which might be viewed as catastrophic in nature, all these are but repercussions or reflections, you might say, of the consciousness of your people which has been expressed upon your planet for many centuries, for the friction which has occurred between your people has, in its very being a vibration of a nature which penetrates the planet on which you live. And as you approach the time which has been called the time of harvest, the energies which have been invested in your planetary sphere will be coming full circle, so to speak, and returning so that those who inhabit your planet at this time might experience the culmination of this cycle in every degree.

The likelihood of such occurrences continuing is very great; to state when such might occur is very difficult. For those, such as yourself, who are interested in alleviating some of the difficulties that ensue when such occurrences happen, we would suggest the healing meditation which we have mentioned in other sessions. To simply restate, we might say, that in your state of meditation you might see your planet as it is, with many fissures and openings, scars, and wounds, that there might be seen here and there darkness and ignorance, that this might be held in your vision for a few moments and then you might see your planet beginning to shine with a Light emanating from various locations and continue to see the Light spreading until your planet glows as a sun. In this way you will lend the healing energies of your visualization to the healing of the energies which have so long been festering within the material part of your planet.

We thank you for allowing us to work with this instrument with this query, and would at this time transfer to the other instrument in order that any questions which you may have may be answered. We would at this time transfer. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and greet each again through this instrument in Love and in Light. We would at this time like to open this gathering to any further queries which those present may have to offer for our opinions and thoughts. May we speak to any query at this time?

J: Yes. From tonight’s session I understood that in order to increase our own personal electricity and magnetism, we can meditate upon a single image, and that image should be electrifying and evocative in nature. My question is, what would be—once this is done to the point where one does increase their electricity—what is the manifestation of that? What does the individual experience?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. The focus of the desire upon an ideal or image which has emotional value and spiritual potential, shall we say, for the seeker is effective within the seeker’s experience. When the focus has been as sharply drawn as is possible for the seeker to accomplish with the combination of inner images and intensified desire along the chosen path, the manifestation of such a focus of intentions is what you may call the vitality of the life experience. Some have given it the name élan vital or the joy of living which the greater influx of directed Love, prana, or energy has provided to the seeker as a result of the seeker’s forming a channel or circuit for this influx of Love and its creative power. Thus, each moment is seen with new eyes and felt with new sensation, and the vitality of creation is made more available to the seeker who has been able to focus its being in a manner which resonates in harmony with those potentials within each succeeding energy center or chakra of each seeker.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: The process of the raising of the kundalini from the base chakra to the crown, is this an electrical process?

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.

J asked: “The process of the raising of the kundalini from the base chakra to the crown, is this an electrical process?” Q’uo began by saying we find that it would be incorrect to describe this process as an electrical process since 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 where 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 which the seeker shall work upon according to its unique configuration of energy center blockages and clear circuit pathways, so 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 frequency of vibration that is appropriate for its learning. Now Q’uo said as succeeding energy centers within the seeker are opened and balanced to a minimal degree through a great portion of time and experience, the Love of the Creator will move further up the path of the kundalini until there is the mating with the Polaris of the self, where the seeker is at one with the creation, so that an experience of conscious unity with the creation becomes available to the seeker, so this completing of the circuit of the series of energy centers has been described by many of your people using various terminology: enlightenment, contact with intelligent infinity and nirvana, and the seeker may be seen as a 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 culminate in bringing into harmonic resonance each portion of the seeker’s being. On October 18, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the nature of enlightenment:

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.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: Would it be possible to expedite this process of the raising of the kundalini by the use of electrodes at, let’s say, the base and the crown chakras with a small amount of current induced between those two poles? I’ll leave my question at that.

I am Q’uo, and though the physical vehicle may be enhanced in its ability to transmit various forms of electrical current, we find that any specific technique of a mechanical nature which lacks the metaphysical principle of the processing of catalyst as the primary means by which the mind, body, and spirit are prepared in unison for the increased flow of prana or Love energy is a technique which invites some degree of imbalance within the entity’s total being and is that which would, therefore, be less than efficacious in the overall progress of the entity’s mind, body and spirit complexes.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: The Atlanteans, we know, used crystals in many ways, and I wonder if they had the same understanding or use of, or let me say, the technology that we possess today of electricity, or was their technology more based on the use of crystals and galvanic materials?

I am Q’uo, and as we distill and translate the capabilities of this civilization of which you speak, we find that there was much of the present technological abilities with the addition of various others which were also utilized in a fashion which was distorted toward the manipulation of things, people, and events for specific purposes rather than the utilization of the available technologies for the enhancement of the evolutionary goals of each citizen. Therefore, the direction of technological advance and movement within this society was that which turned toward the negative pole more than was able to be sustained in a manifested sense by this culture and those about it which eventually resulted in the down-sinking of this culture as a result of the separation of entities culminating in the condition that you call war.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: No, thank you. That’s all the questions I have.

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

H: Yeah. Did Edgar Cayce use electricity in any of his healing processes?

I am Q’uo, and as we attempt to scan the contributions of this particular entity, we find that the allusions to the use of the quality which you call electricity is most general in some locations within this body of work and does not partake of the specifically applied use of the power of the electrical current.

May we speak further, my brother?

H: Not on that. I don’t think there’s anything else. Thank you.

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

Carla: I have two short questions. First of all, is there a unified field theory that can be discovered in third density, or is it going to have to wait to fourth density? Is it this metaphysical aspect that’s causing us all to be unable to figure it out?

I am Q’uo, and we find that the conceptualizations which are necessary to grasp the nature of the various forces which are considered primary within your illusion are conceptualizations which must be the result of removing various portions of the veil of mystery which is so great a portion of your fabric of illusion. There are many who have discovered significant portions of the concepts that will yield the eventual unification of the various theories of the source and motivational power of energy. However, this final goal is that which draws many within your illusion forward in their seeking, and the mere seeking is that which is most helpful in the resolving of the mysteries of your very being.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you, I appreciate that. The other question is just, I suspect that you’d rather deal with this as a general question, but I didn’t know for sure. And I wondered, is it correct that you would prefer to treat as a general question advice on someone about to be married. I wouldn’t mind hearing what you have to say on the subject.

I am Q’uo, and we find that it is possible to speak in any fashion which is desired…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo and am again with this instrument, and greet each in Love and in Light. We would ask, my sister, if you wish us to speak briefly upon this topic or would wish to have the topic as a general query at another time?

Carla: If you are willing to treat it as a general query, I would prefer that. Actually, I’d prefer to hear it at length, this is—you know. So, we’ll wait until next week on it. Thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to have offered to us those concerns in your journey of seeking which you have so joyfully shared with us this evening. We cannot express in words the gratitude that we feel for being allowed to share our humble thoughts with you upon those topics which are of concern in your thinking and in your being. We look forward to each such gathering with this group and would at this time take our leave of this instrument and this group. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we leave each in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning the quote from The Infinite Way is: “Now, however, evil is becoming less real; sickness is not so acute; financial stress or even lack gradually gives way to sufficiency; concern for one’s self disappears as every need is met without taking thought, or planning, or worry, or fear. The people or powers which heretofore have been feared now fade from view and either disappear from one’s experience or else are seen for their powerlessness. Desires become less acute. Fears evaporate. Assurance, confidence, alertness, keenness—these become evident not only to one’s self but to those who are met and dealt with in everyday life.

The inner Presence has likewise become an inner Power. From an occasional experience it has become the constant awareness. Forces of pain and pleasure in the outer experience dimmish whereas one becomes conscious of inner powers which are real and which produce and govern the outer life harmoniously and fruitfully. There is no longer fear of the evils of the outer world, nor is there the intense pleasure in the happier things of the outer world. It is possible to have the pleasures of the world and enjoy them, or not to have them and not miss them. There is a constant joy within that needs no outside stimulus.

In this consciousness, God is found to be the inner Light or at least this Light is felt as an emanation of God. God is felt as a divine Presence or Influence within. It is felt by those who come in contact with the person who has found their inner Self. It is reflected in their health and success. It radiates from them as sunbeams radiate from the sun.

In finding their life, this person has found peace, joy, harmony, security. Even in the midst of a failing world, they stand unmoved, untouched—the very presence of immortal Being.

When we are no longer limited y the five physical senses and have attained even a measure of spiritual sense, or Christ-consciousness, we find ourselves unlimited in terms of “here” or
“there,” “now,” or “hereafter.” There is a going in and a coming out without any sense of time or space, an unfolding without degree, a realization without an object.

In this consciousness, finite sense disappears and the vision is without boundaries. Life is seen and understood as unfettered and limitless beauty. Even the wisdom of the ages is encompassed in a moment. Death disappears, and once more we see those previously separated from us by this so-called barrier. This communion is not the communication as understood in the teaching of spiritualism, but an awareness of eternal life untouched by death. It is the reality of immortality seen and understood. It is a vision of life without beginning and with no ending. It is reality brought to light. In this consciousness, there are no physical barriers of time and space. The vision encompasses the universe. It ridges time and eternity. It includes all being.”

Later this morning I went outside and planted 5 more Coral Bell Flowers on the side of the Ruins Mound.

This afternoon I went outside and planted the last 5 of the Coral Bell Flowers on the side of the Ruins Mound. Then I found enough stones and pieces of clay tile to put on the edge the Ruins Mound that I planted today. Then I used the garden hose and the sprayer to clean the walkways off on the two sides of the Ruins Mound Flower Garden. Then I water all 30 of the Coral Bell Flowers with fertilized water.

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

July 17

The Attitude Of St. Patrick

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ and greet you in the full consciousness of love.

Sometimes it is difficult to know how to move in the spirit instead of stumbling in the darkness of the mundane world.

Yet we say to you that that dark world is illuminated for those who have eyes to see the light that is in all things and all circumstances. Let your attitude be that of St. Patrick, who armored himself in Christ before, behind, above and beneath. Wearing the armor of Christ’s love, he and you may find a changed and renewed mundane world.

Allow love to speak to the love within you, and you will soon find that you may tabernacle with the Creator in any and all circumstances through faith.

We leave you in peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send Love, Light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite Love, Light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel the Creator’s Love, Light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen
