The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Todays 102 quote comes from Chapter Four and the concept of living the Choice to serve others:

Carla’s goals for Chapter 4: “This chapter looks at how we make service-to-others choices in our personal environment, in our families, in our spiritual groups and in our political groups as well as other groups.”

Living the Choice to Serve Others

The thoughts of an entity, its feelings or emotions, and least of all its behavior are the signposts for the teaching/learning of self by self.[1]

As we travel through each day of our lives on this Earth we will come upon a multitude of ways to be of service to others, and some of them may be quite difficult. We will need to be able to navigate our own inner streams of consciousness that flow in many directions into feelings, emotions, and thoughts that are new to us, confusing, and which result in what we may interpret to be imperfect conclusions as to how we should proceed. I believe that the key to making this inner journey fruitful is to open our hearts in unconditional love as much as we can to lovingly accept each person, each thought, each opportunity to serve, and to accept ourselves as well. In this quote Q’uo gives us an overview of what living the Choice to serve others is like:

And so what is the choice, precisely? Although we cannot speak precisely, although the choice is always veiled in mystery, we would point in the direction of the will which is as the verb in a sentence in which the nouns are made of faith, hope, love and charity. What is the right use of will? The one known as Jesus spoke very clearly when it said, “Not my will but Thine.” For you see, the choice truly is to surrender. The choice of the Fool is to leap into mid-air, knowing absolutely nothing about what lies at the bottom of the chasm of unknowing. One chooses either to have complete faith and thus to remain calm in the midst of this sea of confusion which is the Earth world. This is not an obviously good choice. The choice to believe blindly seems quite foolish and may we say that it is foolish. Upon the surface of events such a choice as pure faith shall only rarely be obviously validated by experience and yet the energy that is released when a seeker chooses to live by faith is tremendous. It certainly flies in the face of logic. Logic dictates that one maintain control in order to better serve.

And yet the way of logic is the way of death, for service is a living and vital thing. It blows as does the wind, and to be of service to another is an art. The beginning of this art is the refraining from using the will in eagerness to serve. As you attempt to serve others, always ask the self, as this instrument said earlier to the one known as B, “What is being asked of you?” For it is in response to what is asked that one may serve another. And upon a deeper level, as events impinge upon you, a good question to ask as a touchstone is, “What does the Creator ask of you?” The answer to this can be known only from the heart, only from the intuition, for what the Creator asks is often illogical, often puzzling, even though one feels to do or not to do something. One cannot precisely explain why. But when there is a strong intuition, we recommend and encourage the will to follow that intuition. Q’uo, May 18, 1997.

I think that Q’uo’s suggestion that following our intuition in deciding how to serve others is a very helpful process because I do believe that following our intuition is another way of opening our hearts to the highest and best path that the Creator’s Love can be made manifest in our service to others. It is far better than intellectual analysis that weighs reasons for serving against reasons for not serving in one way or another. I believe the best use of the intellect is in making the decision to follow our intuition and our heart’s source of Love. In 72.7 Ra gave a means by which we can purify our intentions to open our hearts and be of service to others:

The Law of Confusion, or Free Will, is utterly paramount in the workings of the infinite creation. That which is intended has as much intensity of attraction to the polar opposite as the intensity of the intention or desire.

Thus those whose desires are shallow or transitory experience only ephemeral configurations of what might be called the magical circumstance. There is a turning point, a fulcrum which swings as a mind/body/spirit complex tunes its will to service. If this will and desire is for service to others, the corresponding polarity will be activated.

Our process of choosing to be of service to others with an open heart is actually a kind of magical action since we are seeking to change our consciousness into a more focused and purified state of being that we reflect in how we relate to others on a day-to-day basis. To be successful in such an endeavor we need to continually make this choice each day and reflect this choice in how we relate to the people who are a part of our days whether they are friends, neighbors, or strangers. Once again Q’uo describes living the Choice from another angle:

Now, perhaps it is valid to build on the choice that has been made; to rest within its commitment as if it were a cleft in the rock, and, from that point of view, which is the choice to be fearless, to allow all other choices to be those choices that optimize the perceived sense of love. The choice of service to others or service to self that so classically is expressed in the archetypical image of the tarot card of The Lovers seems a simple one. It often seems very clear what is service to self and what is service to others. However, many are those who have found that there are courses in polarity given to them by the school of life which are exceedingly subtle and worthy of study. For those who are attempting not only to choose but to choose with grace and deftness and skill, not the most obvious service to others but the highest, there is a never-ending and very rich palate of choices to be made, options to be considered. And always, ever-new each day; a new and newly mysterious universe to comprehend, behold and give thanks for. Q’uo, January 26, 2003.

So Q’uo suggests that we can refine how we live our Choice to be of service to others according to how the “school of life” gives us a variety of “courses in polarity” that we can interpret to be of the highest or most helpful as time goes on. I believe that as we continue to keep our hearts open with unconditional love for everyone that we meet that the opportunities for being of service will continue to present themselves to us in ways both subtle and obvious, large and small, short-term and long-term, physical and metaphysical. As we continue to deepen our desire to be of service to others more chances to do so will come our way as we become Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.

This morning I went outside and planted some giant sunflowers in the garden to the left of the fish pond. I also protected them from deer reaching over the fence to eat them with a netting that was too high for deer to deal with and then put small bungee cords on the netting to keep birds from flying into the netting and getting caught. The I planted some hyacinth beans in the little garden in the middle of the cross area. I also put netting around the four eight-foot poles that make a pyramid so that the hyacinth beans could climb the netting.

This afternoon I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden and the Ruins Mound. Then I took the trimmer around the yard and trimmed onion grass out of various areas of the yard on all sides of the house. Then I took my 45-minute slow-paced walk and met Austin back at the house where he showed me places in 102 where I could expand and unify some of the concepts that Carla spoke of in 101 that she would discuss in 102. I will do that after I finish Chapter Four.

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

Offering The Self

I am of the consciousness of love and I greet you in that love which is Jesus the Christ.

Gaze upon the qualities of love divine. See the body broken, the life split and sacrificed. See that in the breaking and in the offering lie the secret of infinite love. Each life may be offered up and thus broken, and from that break may come an infinity of gifts.

We do not suggest for one instant that all sacrifice is good. Rather, we suggest, for one who would love, that there is a blessing and sanctification in offering the self to be used, to be broken, to be opened, and to be shared that is most godly. “When He had given thanks,” it is written, “He took the bread and broke it and gave it to each of His disciples, saying, ‘Take. Eat. This is my body. Do this in remembrance of me.’” May your day and your life, day by day, be a process of thanksgiving, breaking, offering and remembering.

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

[1] The Ra Contact: Teaching the Law of One, 42.11.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of discipline:

Discipline

Now, each of you has undoubtedly noted throughout your experience that bits and pieces of this personality shell will fall away, sometimes for clear reasons, sometimes for no apparent reason, at a certain point within the incarnational experience. This instrument has called this the subtraction process, and many have thought of it as the refining fire that tempers the self. One could see the action of catalyst and experience on this personality shell as that of the sculptor who skillfully or awkwardly is attempting to create a new shape out of the block of stone that is the personality shell.

There is a far more vital and authentic being resting within this relatively non-vital shell. Consequently, the spiritual being within the worldly incarnation is as the mine of precious stones which has been overlaid with dirt. It is a wise and protective measure, given the circumstances of incarnation. This mining, then, can be seen as the discipline of the personality. The careful, slow, almost scientific excavation of the authentic self from the jagged edges and roughness of the personality shell is the goal of the worker in consciousness who is attempting the discipline of the personality.[1]

The above statue analogy is inspiring because it gives us the idea of creating something beautiful and intentional out of rough, raw materials. However, I would not say that any part of an entity is “removed” by the discipline of the personality; rather, an entity is balanced and refined in order to become the highest expression of itself. Whereas self-control involves curbing one’s desires in the moment in order to adhere to one’s values or intensions, the concept of self-discipline involves developing the self so that one’s surface desires and impulses may reflect one’s deepest desire for positive service. 

This is a process that definitely takes discipline upon a daily basis. If we interact with others on any level of our being there will usually be areas of doubt, disharmony, and distortion that will require our processing in a manner that eventually balances our personality. Sometimes these changes in ourselves seem to happen of their own accord, and we find ourselves becoming a new person in the same manner that all the cells in our body are replaced with new cells every seven years or so. In this next quote Q’uo goes into great detail to describe how we all can use the concept of discipline to realize our highest potentials as spiritual seekers of truth:

First you must do your work with your own self, finding your joy, finding your passion. You have chosen faith, you have chosen to believe that there is a reality beyond this illusion. You have done the hardest work. The rest is learning. The rest is the discipline of the personality that began in the chaos of unlearning into which you were born. As we have spoken, each of you has examined the energies, has opened the heart, has begun to feel each other’s presence as seekers, the unity of this group with all who seek, with those such as we who seek to help, and are ourselves seeking further to refine evermore the discipline of the personality. All this must be done before you can begin to discipline your personality. You must first find joy. You must first allow your faith to show forth in a love of life and living. Sometimes you do most, most beautifully at this, at other times there is a woeful lack of work because the self does not feel worthy of such fundamental work, wishing only to serve others. Nay, my friends, prepare the self first for service.

Now we speak of mindfulness itself, a mindfulness of your choice, a mindfulness of your faith that there is indeed within you the passion that created the universe and all that is in it. In meditation roads are built that create a pathway to an immediate experience of this love. This is work done in discipline. When the energy of living within you is good, and the desire to learn is strong, there is only joy in this work. It can also be the most difficult work you can imagine. A great deal depends upon the preparation of your self to be a person of joy and lover of life. Be mindful of who you are. You are love, you are a co-creator with the original Thought of your own experience and your own creation. There is not one creation, there are as many creations as there are perceptors of creation. Each personal truth is absolute. One cannot give to another faith, but only the desire to find that faith and the realization that such a thing is possible.

We come to speak to you as those who have learned mindfulness. We find in this instrument’s mind the phrase “to pray without ceasing.” This is a good phrase to express that which we mean by being mindful. In meditation you tabernacle with the infinite One, you listen to the silence that speaks deeply, without words, and gives the information that will give you the energy, the joy, and the faith to move ahead. Without the meditation it is very difficult to remain in a state of unity with your greater Self, with the Creator within. This is the heart of the discipline of personality.

Each of you has read many, many texts which attempt to aid in the process of accelerating the evolution of mind, body and spirit. The catalyst for the discipline of personality is joyful remembering of who you are. As you remember who you are, more and more of that which you may willfully seem to be, but which you are not, is no longer needed and falls away. The effort is not in pushing away the things of this world, as this instrument would say. The effort is in creating within the self a joyful remembrance of love as the nature of the true self, which creates an atmosphere in which gradually, and in a rhythmic, appropriate time, one after another, those things which are hindrances to joy fall away. Anger is not overcome, it is simply no longer needed to express the passion of the self. Distress, despair, all negative emotion is distorted love. It is passion turned and bent and unrecognizable. But as love is all there is, so with your free will you may create ponderous illusion upon illusion, finding perverse comfort in negative emotion, for it is familiar, and that which is familiar is safe, and that which is unfamiliar is not. When one is mindful one finds oneself slowly able to release the fear that has caused the distortion that has created for the self an armor against that which is perceived as a threat. To one continuously aware of the self as love there are no threats, there is only remembrance of the truth of love. Q’uo, February 25, 1990.

When the many changes we create in our being by using discipline are consciously arrived at, our personality more and more resembles a balanced being, a jewel with many facets that reveals our open hearts full of unconditional love for our natural selves and for all others around us. We are more and more skillful Players on the Enhanced Game Board of Life.

This morning I ran a couple of errands with my first stop at Kroger’s to buy some food for myself, and my second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy more food for myself. When I got home I began digging up the dirt in the gardens in my front yard.

This afternoon I went back outside and dug up the rest of the gardens in the front yard and then finished the project in my back yard. We have predictions of temperatures in the 70s and 80s this week, so I may begin transplanting flowers into my gardens next week if these temperatures continue.

The Moment’s Inspiration

I am the spirit, the breath, of the consciousness of pure love and I radiate the name of Jesus the Christ and greet you in its fullness and glory.

When things done by others seem to have been done so beautifully and well, it may seem to the one who beholds that there is no need for fresh inspiration, for that which is and can be held in the hand is already enough.

For spirit, that which is in the past is never enough. For the spirit lives in the moment. Thus it is to the moment that the mind is to be made open, that the freshness and the glory of the creation may astound and stun the senses and the intellect anew each moment.

There is a peace in the resting in beauty that is full of the lively excellence of the word, “love.” May all that you conceive and manifest be filled with the present gift of love, for there is no need to rely upon the past for the moment’s inspiration. Turn only within and seek peace and love.

We leave you in peace, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

[1] Q’uo, March 19, 2000.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of self-control:

Self-Control

The concept of control is one with many layers and uses, both positively and negatively. Most frequently, when used in the Ra contact the concept of control has negative connotations as Ra mentioned in this quote:

11.18 Questioner: Then we have crusaders from Orion coming to this planet for mind control purposes. How do they do this?

Ra: As all, they follow the Law of One observing free will. Contact is made with those who call. Those then upon the planetary sphere act much as do you to disseminate the attitudes and philosophy of their particular understanding of the Law of One, which is service to self. These become the elite. Through these, the attempt begins to create a condition whereby the remainder of the planetary entities are enslaved by their own free will.

So negatively-oriented entities attempt to increase their personal power at the expense of others and will seek to gather followers of the negative path on Earth to become elite, different, and better than the majority of entities on the planet. Then this elite uses similar tactics to enslave the rest of the population so that all entities become involved in negative polarization for the benefit of the self. This is probably the easiest use of the concept of control to understand in relation to polarization of consciousness.

However, there are also positive uses of the concept of control that might be a little harder to grasp. An example is in this quote from Ra:

52.7 Questioner: Am I correct, then, in assuming that discipline of the personality, knowledge of self, and control, shall I say, in strengthening of the will would be what any fifth-density entity would see as those things of importance?

Ra: I am Ra. In actuality these things are of importance in third through early seventh densities. The only correction in nuance that we would make is your use of the word, control. It is paramount that it be understood that it is not desirable or helpful to the growth of the understanding, may we say, of an entity by itself to control thought processes or impulses except where they may result in actions not consonant with the Law of One.

I believe that Ra is talking about the occasional thoughts of harming another person in some manner that it would be important for the spiritual seeker of truth to bring under its conscious control so that they did not manifest within their third-density experience as Ra said was possible in this quote:

16.56 Questioner: And then if, say, an entity daydreams strongly about battling, let us say, another entity, would this occur?

Ra: I am Ra. In this case the entity’s fantasy concerns the self and other-self; this binds the thought-form to the possibility/probability complex connected with the self which is the creator of this thought-form. This then would increase the possibility/probability of bringing this into third-density occurrence.

If a seeker of truth has such negative thought forms and would like to purge them from their mind, Ra gave the technique of fasting in order to do so:

41.21 Questioner: You mentioned in the last session that fasting was a method of removing unwanted thought-forms. Can you expand on this process and explain a little more about how this works?

Ra: I am Ra. This, as all healing techniques, must be used by a conscious being; that is, a being conscious that the ridding of excess and unwanted material from the body complex is the analogy to the ridding of mind or spirit of excess or unwanted material. Thus the one discipline, or denial, of the unwanted portion as an appropriate part of the self is taken through the tree of mind down through the trunk to subconscious levels where the connection is made. And thus the body, mind, and spirit, then, in unison, express denial of the excess or unwanted spiritual or mental material as part of the entity.

All then falls away, and the entity—while understanding, if you will, and appreciating the nature of the rejected material as part of the greater self, nevertheless, through the action of the will—purifies and refines the mind/body/spirit complex, bringing into manifestation the desired mind complex or spirit complex attitude.

Then there is the larger area of our behavior in general which is not only appropriate to control but in many cases is necessary to be able to control. We need to be able to control our intake of foods, getting exercise, studying areas of spiritual growth and service to others, caring for pets, using our computers and cars to communicate and travel and all of the normal daily round of activities that we engage in that need a controlled expression of energy in order to live a normal life and interact with our friends and family in caring and informative ways.

In my opinion the most important factor in our natural selves using self-control is our intentions. It is “impossible to judge the polarity of an act or an entity.” (93.3) So our intentions are what we have control over, and the intentions of our actions determine their polarity whether in service to others, service to self, or simply random direction of action to achieve the preferred outcome.

The work of the spiritual entity is always upon the self. The seeking of a spiritually-oriented entity is always an inner seeking. It may well be that the processes of seeking bring the seeker into community with those who demonstrate unconditional love, and that is a great gift.

But a part of the godhead principle in actuality needs nothing from the outside. There is no need to reach, there is no need to grasp. All that is needed is already lying within your heart of hearts.

The Confederation talks about acceptance rather than control because, from our point of view, once an entity has come into a full acceptance or awareness of who he is and why he is here, that initial acceptance forms up into vectors: each thought and opinion that occurs within the awareness of being a spiritual entity has a direction to it that is spiritual in nature.[1]

Q’uo advised us that, as we are a part of the Creator and Its creation, we are always focused on some aspect of our spiritual journey of inner seeking and the true nature of our natural self if we are conscious seekers of truth. We are always attempting to be able to monitor or to manage our energy expenditures in ways that make our process of inner seeking more effective. It is just a natural way for us who are on the spiritual path to continue to refine our efforts at discovering the deeper and deeper meaning of who we are. In this quote Q’uo goes into more detail about the positive and negative natures of control:

Ethics is a system of thought which describes those actions which are appropriate. So, one may ask, is this a situation in which I should attempt to control because of an appropriate end? Appropriate ends are suggestions that may aid someone in achieving spiritual maturity, suggestions that may aid another in a savings of time or other valued commodity. Perhaps you see the general tendency of this word “appropriate.” If control is used when it is appropriate, then, regardless of whether the entity controlled is in fact able to be controlled or not, the choice has been well made. If, on the other hand, an entity desires to control another from fear—that is, the fear that another is not doing the correct thing spiritually, politically, socially or economically—then this choice of control may be seen to be inappropriate.

The term “war” may be seen as the largest written, broadest spanning, example of inappropriate attempts to control others. The choices for spiritual, economic political, and social movements that have only rhetoric and ideas behind them are those things which one need not attempt to control. Look at how much control is attempted to be exerted by those who would that others do as they do, believe as they believe, dress as they dress, behave and so forth.

When teaching the child what is appropriate, many are the choices made for the child. When gazing at an adult, it may be seen that these choices have passed from the need for outer control. When an entity has the discipline of the self and the personality is touched and quieted by the surrender to that great original Thought of love which is the nature of the infinite Creator then questions of control become far less necessary, for the more centered, self-knowing, and quiet-hearted an entity, the less fear this entity will have that entities seemingly different from him will in some way harm or hurt him or his sensibilities.

Intolerance, prejudice and the cant of religious rhetoric are based upon fear. The ways in which individuals with fear may see themselves controlling may well be that of love and concern for the other self. Yet, no entity can learn for another, be safe for another, or do another’s work. Suggestions can be made. There is no harm in suggestions. If the expectation is that they will be taken, then the matter must be referred to ethics: is this desired result appropriate? Is this desire appropriate?

Leaning upon one word, love, one may learn a great deal about ethics. In your own way, you aid the infinite creation in its path. Each individual’s consciousness, if it rest in love, is more and more a part of that infinite, eternal, constant creation of the Father. As the whirlwind within the mind and emotions of living calms itself, and spiritual maturity advances, that part of each self that is of the infinite Creator and is an holograph of the infinite creation begins to manifest itself without words. Yet, this manifestation of love, flowing through one in infinite measure, gives to those entities whose discipline has been towards maturity an authority that makes it unnecessary to attempt to control, in most cases. For, as one is more and more the authority over the vagaries of the human self, just so does the heart within that self find itself peaceful and open and, therefore, a shuttle through which the love of the infinite One may flow freely. Q’uo, June 7, 1992.

Every thought, word, and action offer to us a kind of mirror that reveals yet more facets of our natures as the One Creator and more of how the Creator manifests Itself through us. So, the concept of self-acceptance is helpful as we continue to refine our journeys of seeking who we are and why we are here on Earth at this time and how we can use the love and acceptance of ourselves as a means to interact with others in a loving manner that does not attempt any measure of controlling them. Acceptance of ourselves, our very basic natural selves, keeps us from judging ourselves harshly for any seeming failings that we may discover on this journey of inner seeking and of being of service to others. Being able to accept ourselves fully as Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life in such realizations makes our way smoother to reach the eventual balancing of our distortions and to reach our destination of becoming one with the Creator within us and our other selves as well.

I am posting the Camelot Journal entry early this morning because we are having a public channeling meditation this afternoon.

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

Easter Is Yours

I am the spirit of the living Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine love.

All the seasons of the outer and inner year are valid. Yet too often we find that you have the fondness for Lent, the interior atmosphere of negation, deprivation, searching and dark wondering. Yet the Easter mentality is yours as well. And we would not wish to leave you without that comfort.

Experience the imprisonment of your captive heart, caught in a net of shadow and wondering. And, at this moment and for this day, release it, insofar as you feel comfort in doing so, into the glad light of Easter. Allow your spirits to rise and life to be resurrected within you. For you have not followed Jesus the Christ only through the suffering portion of life’s great passion. You have gone on with Him and walked the path of eternity. Easter is yours.

We leave you in the great joy and peace of Jesus the 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

[1] Q’uo, May 6, 2007.

 

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of the healthy use of power:

Healthy Use of Power

This instrument has been saying lately that if ever there was a time to be steadfast it is now, and this thought, that you are a nation of priests, that you are a holy people, is along those lines. When you seek, when you learn, you develop a responsibility to share what you know, to live what you know, to express what you know in your daily life. Perhaps it is nothing more than a smile, a positive reaction to a negative situation, a word dropped at the right time, a thought that helps. At a time when it is easy to give negative thought, finding that one positive thought is to work magic.

When people realize their power they become much more effective. And so we would ask each of you to realize the tremendous potential within you. Realize that you are already exerting a great deal of power, so the question becomes, “What is the right use of power?” Where is the love in the situation in front of your eyes? That is the question that brings the most resonance and affords the most magic in terms of being able to effect change. More and more, allow yourself to come into the priesthood that you have so long studied for. Accept the mantle and vow to do your best to run the straight race, to be steadfast with what you believe, to find ways to share those things that only you can share, for they lie within the folds of your personality and they are your gifts to give.

Love one another. That is the heart of priesthood: to love, to bless, to witness to the light. Q’uo, November 4, 2001

Q’uo suggests that as spiritual seekers of truth we have many years of experience in learning how to develop spiritual qualities that are unique to ourselves that we can use in a great variety of ways in being of service to others. We can express these qualities in ways great and small: a smile to a stranger, giving a neighbor a ride to the grocery store, counseling a person who has lost a loved one and is dealing with great grief, giving a friend a place to live while they earn enough money to afford their own apartment, starting a study group that focuses on spiritual information that helps each in the group to progress spiritually, and simply taking advantage of being of service as such opportunities are offered to us in our daily round of activities.

Q’uo went on to say that when we continually seek to use our power in this loving and healthy way we are actually approaching a magical stance like unto a priest who can create positive changes in consciousness for others and for ourselves as the healthy use of power would of necessity require that we open our hearts in unconditional love to flow out to those with whom we interact. I think that we could also see this quality of being a priest as the equivalent of calling upon our higher selves in the magical personality aspect as we continually polarize our consciousness in the positive sense as to how we use our power. We are all unique in how we may “run the straight race” and use the love that is in the moment to positively affect the lives of others. We must be steadfast in our desire to serve others with joy and devotion to the One which is in all people, and this is how we may give “witness to the Light.”

Carla also had some inspiring thoughts to offer concerning the healthy or right use of power:

That which you are ready to do, you can do. And you can do it so well. You can do it so beautifully. Always trust yourself. Always listen for your own discernment, not the discernment of anybody else. But, every day, start the day by setting an intention, a polarized intention to serve others in your particular way. Everybody is going to make a different prayer. Everybody is going to set a slightly different intention. But the act of setting that intention creates in you a tremendous awakening of your inner power.

And in a way, the right use of power is heavily connected to polarity and to your moving yourself into a polarized position. When you finally realize that you are a powerful, powerful person and that you are actually magic—you are a co-creator, actually; to use Ra’s terms you’re a co-co-creator. That doesn’t matter.

At any rate, the power that you have is awesome and infinite, and when you focus it and when you let loose that focus and you are engaged and you are paying attention and you are there, the world becomes an incredible place. And when you realize that with your power, what you forgive is forgiven, that means you can forgive and it is so. If you judge it is also so for you. So how do you want to set up your universe? How do want your creation to run? You want it to run on love probably. That’s the kind of creation you’d like to live in and you have the power to do that. Carla Rueckert, Homecoming talk, 2010

Carla was always an advocate of the setting of an intention at the beginning of each day as being of paramount importance for the spiritual seeker of truth. This intention to serve others to the best of one’s ability was like creating the foundation of the day upon which the rest of the efforts to serve others would be built. It was the way that we could uniquely activate that inner power that is within each of us.

She went on to say that such intentions to use our unique power was akin to activating the Creator within us and becoming that which is like a “co-co-Creator” with a power that can actually help us to create our own universe of being, of doing, of loving, of giving, and serving the One Creator in each person that we meet in our daily round of activities. What she was really talking about was that the Creator is within us all, and we can activate that nature of our being when we use our power in a healthy and loving manner. This is actually the journey of the spiritual seeker of truth, to see the Creator in all others and within our selves. Each effort that we make to use this power of the Creator in a healthy and loving way becomes another expression of our natural selves moving forward as Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.

This morning I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription. When I got home I vacuumed the first floor of the house.

This afternoon I went outside and transplanted the Dogwood tree that the Chicago Law of One Study Group donated funds for me to buy as a replacement for the Dogwood tree that was blown down in a ferocious wind storm about a month ago. Then I used my big mower for the first time this year to mulch the leaves in both corners of the back yard.

Repentance

I am of the principle of the essential and divine love that is full consciousness, and I greet you in the name of Christ, hollowed out and filled up from man to Christ in Jesus.

This day we encourage each seeker to forgive, accept and, if possible, forget the agony of every misdeed, however tiny or large; every error and every misstep.

The Comforter is not named solely as a paradox, for indeed comfort there is in the knowledge that the folly of man can never equal the comfortable love and divine grace of God in Christ.

We leave you in hope of repentance and new life. In every moment of the pilgrim’s step, such is the reality. Peace be with you, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of sexuality:

Sexuality

During the Ra contact Don, Carla, and I were pleasantly surprised to see sexuality discussed in ideal terms, for the most part, reaching even into the realms of high sexual magic. Our familiar Western religions  don’t really have a place for sexuality other than to simply realize its necessity or even duty for human beings. It is recognized that it is necessary to have sex to have children, but other than that there seems to be an unspoken agreement to keep any references to sexuality to a minimum.

The following quote from Ra gives us some background as to why sexuality on Earth has often fallen prey to distortions that most people eventually have to deal with in order to make the shared sexual experience more towards that which is sacred.

Questioner: Would the Orion group then be able, shall we say, to impress on entities this orange-ray effect? Or did they— Is this the way that this came about, is what I’m trying to get at. Is this the way these concepts came about on this planet? Because if we go back to the beginning of third density, there must be a primal cause of this.

Ra: I am Ra. The cause of this is not Orion. It is the free choice of your peoples. This is somewhat difficult to explain. We shall attempt.

The sexual energy transfers and blockages are more a manifestation, or example, of that which is more fundamental than the other way about. Therefore, as your peoples became open to the concepts of bellicosity and the greed of ownership, these various distortions then began to filter down through the tree of mind into body complex expressions, the sexual expression being basic to that complex. Thus these sexual energy blockages, though Orion influenced and intensified, are basically the product of the beingness chosen freely by your peoples.[1]

Ra suggested that the concepts of “bellicosity” and the “greed of ownership” had an effect on humanity of filtering down through the “tree of mind into body complex expressions, the sexual expression being basic to that complex.” Since sexuality is basic to our body complexes, and since the body is a creature of the mind,[2] sexual energy blockages developed that seem to have persisted into our present times. In the following question Don asked Ra if this filtering down of bellicosity and greed of ownership could become part of the racial memory and infect the entire population in some way.

Questioner: I just need to know if this then works through the racial memory to infect the entire population in some way. Does that sort of thing happen?

Ra: I am Ra. The racial memory contains all that has been experienced. Thus there is some, shall we say, contamination even of the sexual, this showing mostly in your own culture as the various predispositions to adversary relationships—or, as you call them, marriages—rather than the free giving one to another in the love and the light of the Infinite Creator.[3]

Ra’s answer was that our racial memory had been contaminated by these concepts to the degree that these sexual energy blockages resulted in what Ra called “adversary relationships” that we would call marriages. That is a pretty strong statement and a surprising one as well.

Now the question becomes, “How can people in general, and married couples in particular, work to achieve this free giving one to another in the love and the light of the Infinite Creator?” Q’uo had some enlightening thoughts on this topic in the following quote.

The amount of sheer energy vibrating betwixt earth and the physical vehicle is astounding, yet it cannot be acknowledged and used nearly so well by one who is working upon upper chakras unless that entity has the patience, the humility and the determination to come into contact with that earth, that soil of self, for the sexual identity is as powerful and as completely unique a part of the individual spirit or soul as any other incarnationally expressed energy. This is the energy which creates a healthy plant, a healthy body—the energy that gives a primal “yes” to being. This is, moreover—as are all energies—a sacred, a holy energy, and the sexual intercourse is as the Eucharist of red ray, the holy communion of the body. This union recapitulates the oneness of earth and sky, the oneness of male and female, the oneness of reaching and waiting.[4] Q’uo, April 9, 1995

Q’uo offered any seeker of truth the path back from the blocked sexual energies that came from the concepts of bellicosity and the greed of ownership. They suggested that we could see our sexual experiences in general as “a sacred, a holy energy, and the sexual intercourse is as the Eucharist of red ray, the holy communion of the body.”Our sexual energies can truly be a “yes” to life, to ourselves, to our partners, and to the One Creator. How we relate to our partners sexually doesn’t have to be an adversary relationship, no matter how contaminated our racial minds may historically have been on Earth. Ra’s third-density experience of sexuality on Venus was a good example of seeing sexuality as sacred and holy:

Questioner: Was the concept given to— let me ask— you say it originated there… was this concept devised for a training tool for those inhabiting Venus at that time or was it devised by those of Venus as a training tool for those of Earth?

Ra: I am Ra. The tarot was devised by the third-density population of Venus a great measure of your space/time in your past. As we have noted the third-density experience of those of Venus dealt far more deeply and harmoniously with what you would call relationships with other-selves, sexual energy transfer work, and philosophical or metaphysical research. The product of many, many generations of work upon what we conceived to be the archetypical mind produced the tarot which was used by our peoples as a training aid in developing the magical personality.

Again Q’uo affirms the sacred nature of our sexual experiences in the third density:

Questioner: I have one that follows up on what’s just been discussed. It’s been my personal experience in this life that lovemaking is a magical ritual, like Holy Communion in the Christian church. And that has been supported by more and more feeling through the years until the point now where I realize not just the pleasure of myself or the sensuality of myself but that it is offered as a prayer to the infinite One. I know a lot of people don’t see it that way. I was just wondering, could you comment on that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As you are aware from previous study, there is a path to the one Creator that may be traveled by utilizing that which you may call the high sexual magic or ritual magic where the energy that enters through the root chakra is built and stored until it is allowed to move upwards through the centers of energy and is released through the brow and crown chakra at that culmination which you call the orgasm. And, at this point the energy then moves into the energy web of the planetary sphere to be harmonized with by the realization of the unity of the small self with the great Self which is the one Creator.

As the small self reaches, then, with this experience of ecstasy, the one Creator begins to reach in return in a fashion which allows the harmonic expression of the creative power of the universe to reverberate in the sine wave fashion within the small self which has offered itself and its experience as a means by which the one Creator might be known and glorified. Q’uo, April 21, 1991:

Sexuality is certainly a significant facet of our natural selves and can be a most sacred way to be of service to our partners and to the one Creator. We are always free to make our own choices as to how we live our lives and how we share love of any kind with our partners as a means to further opening our hearts in unconditional love and becoming Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.

This morning I was on a podcast with Gary and Austin once again, but this was an L/L podcast with the topic being the adept. We talked about what an adept is, what is the blue-ray work of the adept, what is the indigo-ray work of the adept, should a person attempt to become an adept? Hopefully, we were able to give our listeners an idea as to what these facets of the adept consist of.

This afternoon I went outside and worked on getting the fountain of the fish pond back to its normal height since overnight it was reduced to only a few inches in height instead of four feet or so.

The Springtime Energy Of Cells

I am the spirit of love and I greet you in the consciousness that is Jesus the Christ.

Your feet shall not stand upon the good earth all the day, yet within the mind and within the heart let yourselves never be removed from that primal energy source. Know that every fiber of your sweet planet’s natural growth, as it burgeons into springtime, expresses its energies in rejoicing and that all who stand amongst the flowering may also feel that energy flowing.

And, indeed, all who can turn in mind to that same blooming may experience and be fed by that same joyous, springtime energy, for you are part of the creation of the Father. Feel within each cell the springtime energy of the creature that you are and bless each tendril of new energy, each lighter spring to the step, offering praise to the Creator of these cycles of life. May each cycle of your life spiral you closer to the consciousness of Christ.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of emotions:

Emotions

Questioner: What is the difference in terms of energy center activation between a person who represses emotionally charged responses to emotionally charged situations and the person who is balanced and, therefore, truly unswayed by emotionally charged situations?

Ra: I am Ra. This query contains an incorrect assumption. To the truly balanced entity no situation would be emotionally charged. With this understood we may say the following:

The repression of emotions depolarizes the entity insofar as it then chooses not to use the catalytic action of the space/time present in a spontaneous manner, thus dimming the energy centers. There is, however, some polarization towards positive if the cause of this repression is consideration for other-selves.

The entity which has worked long enough with the catalyst to be able to feel the catalyst but not find it necessary to express reactions is not yet balanced but suffers no depolarization due to the transparency of its experiential continuum. Thus the gradual increase in the ability to observe one’s reactions and to know the self will bring the self ever closer to a true balance. Patience is requested and suggested, for the catalyst is intense upon your plane, and its use must be appreciated over a period of consistent learn/teaching.[1]

Ra suggested that our emotions are a good indicator of which experiences in our lives may be offering us catalyst that we can consciously process in order to further our spiritual progress. The key to this thought is Ra’s statement that: “To the truly balanced entity no situation would be emotionally charged.”So, when we are working with our emotions, no matter what they may be, there is a good chance that they could provide spiritual growth for us. The emotions can be either what we call positive or negative: jealously, anger, greed, fear, confusion, joy, satisfaction, amusement, hopeful, ecstatic, etc.

Ra suggested that we should be patient in this balancing of emotions because our third-density illusion is a very difficult place to be. There is so much anger, separation, confusion, and despair. However, to view this inner disarray as an opportunity to know and balance the self helps life to make sense to the spiritual seeker. Unfortunately, the purpose of life for most people on Earth is still a mystery. Most people don’t realize that balancing their emotions can be a means toward a fuller access to the love in their hearts and the ability to share this love with others around them and, thereby, reduce the pain and suffering that is so much a part of the third-density experience on Earth at this time.

So the Player will still have to navigate the consensus reality that does not partake in a conscious spiritual journey in order to help reduce the mass confusions of our culture. That is why it is so helpful to have friends of “like mind who together seek.” This is a concept which Ra gave us:

Questioner: Could you expand on what you mean by that interaction of polarized entities in piercing the veil?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall state two items of note.

The first is the extreme potential for polarization in the relationship of two polarized entities which have embarked upon the service-to-others path or, in some few cases, the service-to-self path.

Secondly, we would note that effect which we have learned to call the doubling effect. Those of like mind which together seek shall far more surely find.[2]

The idea here is that when we join with other seekers of truth to explore the nature of our spiritual journeys we are able to access more inspiration and information to help us get a better idea as to how this may be accomplished. Ra used the term “doubling effect” that suggests that with each additional person we add to our company of seekers we double the likelihood of our finding the truths that we seek. So, we need to join with other seekers of truth on this long journey through this difficult third density illusion to remind each other that there is a primary spiritual purpose for our being here: to open our hearts in unconditional love for everyone in our challenging world. Processing our catalyst is the mental discipline that can take us into the open heart.

To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.

The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smooths part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.[3]

Here, Ra suggested: “The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.” So, it is necessary that we recognize any emotion, whether positive or negative, as being only part of what we are capable of feeling. Ra said that every emotion has its opposite, and that we need to be able to accept ourselves as having the full range of human emotions and qualities in order to recognize our true identity: the One Infinite Creator.

Questioner: Would a perfectly balanced entity feel an emotional response when being attacked by the other-self?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The response is love.

Questioner: In the illusion that we now experience it is difficult to maintain this response, especially if the entity’s attack results in physical pain, but I assume that this response should be maintained even through physical loss of life or extreme pain. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and further is of a major, or principal, importance in understanding, shall we say, the principle of balance. Balance is not indifference but rather the observer not blinded by any feelings of separation but rather fully imbued with love.[4]

Ra said the inner, emotional response which reflects the highest degree of balance, no matter what the experience , is love. We, as positively-oriented seekers, aspire to attain this high degree of understanding and balance as we evolve through the densities. For the time being, however, we do well to remember that understanding is not of this density . Any time we think we know what is best for someone else, we can be sure that we have entered into judgement, albeit often with good intentions.

Questioner: I am assuming it is not necessary for an individual to understand the Law of One to go from third to fourth density. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. It is absolutely necessary that an entity consciously realize it does not understand in order for it to be harvestable. Understanding is not of this density.[5]

No matter what we think we are experiencing, we are actually, in the heart of our true being, experiencing the Creator as It is knowing Itself. We almost never see this fact when we are living our lives because the veil of forgetting works so well. Most of the time we have no clue that, even in the most extreme moments of difficulty, the Creator stands before us, and within us, as It is knowing Itself. Each entity with whom we interact is also the Creator and ourselves, no matter what kind of seeming traumatic emotion we are sharing with them. There is no true separation occurring between us. There is only the Creator knowing Itself and, hopefully, at some point, we will be able to see that Creator in our self and in our other-self.

Consequently, it is simply more efficient to choose the way of the heart, in our opinion, and to see the goal of working with difficulty, not in achieving happiness, peace, or contentment, but rather, simply in continuing to accelerate the pace of spiritual and mental evolution. The energy of the open heart is open ended. It does not attach an outcome. It simply seeks greater openness of self and a greater ability to allow these rising emotions to do the work of the refiner’s fire. The seeker who has faith in the way of love has faith that no matter what comes she will be able to survive it. That no matter how much various difficulties cause suffering and pain she will be able to use those difficulties to refine those rivers of emotion that are rising to consciousness.[6]

Q’uo noted that within each seeker there will be a constant series of rising emotions that will require the seeker to be willing to go through “the refiner’s fire.”As Players we must be willing to see any emotions as means by which we are able to exercise our faith in the unconditional love in our open hearts. All emotions teach us something very important about our self: that we are complete beings.

However, emotions do not stay on the surface for the persistent seeker who is willing to abide with and enjoy the company of these emotions. They begin to have a deeper life. As one feels these emotions again and again, there comes the opportunity, each time the emotion is repeated, to work with that emotion, to embrace it and honor it and to gaze at it to see from what catalyst it has arisen.

When one is persistently fearless with emotions and is able to sit with the self as it experiences an emotion flowing through, there is a gradual deepening of that emotion. Eventually, as repetition and work in consciousness with these emotions begins to yield its fruits, the seeker begins to have glimpses of the refined and purified emotion that started out so highly colored. And eventually that emotion can take one into the archetypical mind, where the deepest of truths may be found.[7]

Q’uo suggested that we are liable to downplay the value of our emotions because they may seem superficial or trivial when, in reality they can teach us so much about ourselves. Our emotional foundation is, in part, a result of the pre-incarnative programming that has made us who we are as an adult. Some emotions may also be of an archetypal nature as each human, at the level of the roots of consciousness, shares fundamental emotional qualities. If we can access these emotions, we have a doorway to greater self-realization.

As we continue to work with these deeper emotions, we often come face to face with our darker side that has been the product of negative messaging when we were children. We were told that we were not good enough to do this or that, that we needed to stop behaving like a baby and grow up, that we needed to do what we are told, or we will be punished and on and on. If we can work with these deeper, darker emotions whenever they surface we can come to know and love that dark side of ourselves, that child within, and make friends with that dark side. While the experience of being rejected by others causes us to suppress or reject certain aspects of ourselves, those repressed qualities linger in the shadows, waiting to be loved. They may show forth in unpredictable and unhelpful ways, as they are a part of us that longs to be seen. In its persistence, then, our shadow self is possessed of a certain tenacity that is also a part of us, and which can be harnessed for aiding our spiritual growth.

If we can continue to give love and respect to this inner child, we are loving ourselves at the very foundation of our being, of our natural selves. We are reconstructing this foundation of our being to be made out of unconditional love and service to others rather than the rejection and anger of our parents, friends, and teachers that colored our lives darkly when we were kids. When we do that we take one giant step into being a Player on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life.

This morning I returned to Thieneman’s Nursery to pick up another seven bales of pine straw to finish up applying it to my cross area and the Hostas along the Forsythia bushes in the back yard. At 11 am Austin, Gary, and I had a podcase with Brian Scott. We talked about the channeling process in general and the channeling of those of Q’uo specifically. We each shared our own experiences as being channels and how the process began for us. Brian was very appreciative of the L/L Research library of channeling that goes back to 1972 and feels that it is a great archive of information that can aid in the spiritual journey of anyone who studies it on a regular basis.

Retreat From A Weary World

I am the spirit of the living God and I greet you in the full consciousness of that love which is the essence of Jesus the Christ.

As you experience these words, experience too the energy and the atmosphere that accompanies them. Feel the presence of the spirit of love moving into your heart, filling your mind, bathing you in light and peace and tickling your fancy to laughter, merriment and lightness. Feel the lightness and the joy of love that is pure, open, giving and unconditional.

This is your paradise. This is your heaven. This is your retreat from the woes of a weary world. Do not lose this place during your experiences this day. Come back into this consciousness and we shall be there, and you shall be consoled, comforted, strengthened and enabled. These promises we leave with you.

These promises await you peacefully, joyfully, 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of exercise:

Exercise

During the Ra contact Ra said my nature was one of exercising power, and that it would be spiritually helpful for me to exercise daily:

Firstly, it would be well for the scribe to engage, if not daily then as nearly so as possible, in a solitary strenuous activity which brings this entity to the true physical weariness. Further, although any activity may suffice, an activity chosen for its intended service to the harmony of the group would be quite efficacious.

The second activity is some of your space/time and time/space taken by the entity, directly or as nearly so as possible to the strenuous activity, for solitary contemplation. 99.5

Ra suggested that for this exercise to be most helpful, it could be focused on being of service to our group of three. This exercise could take the form of vacuuming the house, cooking food, cutting the grass, and working in the garden. The fact that I enjoyed doing all of these exercises made them doubly effective as they were being done from a consciousness of love and joy. Ra also recommended that after I was done with my exercising that it would be well for me to enter into solitary contemplation which took the form of reviewing the work I had done with the feeling of service and accomplishment. Now days, since Don and Carla are gone, my exercise takes more of a personal flavor as it did before I had ever met them.

 For all of my life I have found that physical exercise has been a regular and helpful feature of my daily round of activities. When I was in grade school, junior high school, and high school I enjoyed whatever sport was in season and stayed in good physical shape in that way. While I was in college I used weight lifting to become the strongest that I ever was in this life. After I was out of college, and in my twenties, I moved to the woods of central Kentucky and got all the exercise that I needed by building my log cabins, splitting firewood, digging and weeding my gardens by hand, and just doing my daily chores.

When I joined Don and Carla I would accompany Carla on her speed walks, and I had to hustle for all I was worth to keep up with her. Jazzercise was also an exercise that she enjoyed, and she also worked hard to stay in good shape for the Ra contact. After the Ra contact I got plenty of exercise for the next twenty years here at L/L Research by creating stone walkways, stone retaining walls for gardens, and once again digging my gardens and weeding them by hand. After the turn of the century and with the interest rates declining on the insurance and benefits from Don’s work at Eastern Airlines, it was necessary for me to go to work to earn money to support Carla and me. So from 2002 through 2012, I ran my own lawn service and got plenty of exercise cutting people’s grass and doing the odd jobs of landscaping like cleaning gutters of leaves, spreading tons of mulch, and hauling away lots of tree limbs that came down in storms.

Now that I am in my mid-seventies I find that I actually need to work harder at getting exercise as various aches and arthritic pains make exercise more difficult. However, I have found that the best treatment for osteo arthritis is physical exercise. So I think that each of us needs to take a look at our physical bodies and see what their condition is at the moment. Then we need to ask ourselves whether or not we might benefit by engaging in some kind of daily exercise. I think that as we get older we are dealing with a “use it or lose it” situation. If we exercise less as we get older we will find that we are less able to function physically. Just getting around gets more difficult.

For myself I find that doing a fifteen-minute series of stretching exercises seven times a week keeps me limber. Carla and I developed this routine from combining exercises from her dance background and from my athletic background. Then three days per week I have a modest weight-lifting program that is designed to increase the bone mass in my lower back where I have osteopenia. I also take a walk of about three miles each day at a regular pace as I no longer need to take shorter speed walks that had the purpose of relieving the arthritic pain in my right hip as I had hip replacement surgery in October of 2022. I also greatly enjoy dancing just for its own sake, but dancing is also a way of increasing bone density plus it aids the brain in its function of helping us keep our balance.

However, each of us is unique in just about every facet of our life experience, and what kind of exercise is best for each of us could well be different, too, depending on your age and your current state of health. Ra made suggestions to Carla regarding exercise that would help her be of service to others when she functioned as the instrument for the Ra contact. From the time she was a child Carla especially loved trees because they brought her joy. She communicated with them by hugging them. So, in 104.2, Ra made this suggestion for Carla’s daily speed walks:

In some ways the walking is the more appropriate exercise due to the proximity of the entity to second-density creatures, particularly your trees.[1]

Ra seems to be suggesting here that it is not just the actual physical exercise that is important, but how that exercise is fulfilling to us as spiritual beings. Walking, or doing any kind of physical exercise, in nature could be inspiring to anyone who enjoys the beauty of the trees, the hills and valleys, the dirt trails, animals, meadows, clouds, the breeze, the sky and sun on the skin. Exercising in nature is like plugging ourselves into the energy of our Mother Earth to recharge the batteries of our being.

Ra also suggested that Carla look to the long-term effects of strenuous exercise that might seem overly wearying in the short-run:

In answer to the question of exercise, now that the intensive period is over, this instrument may, if it chooses, exercise one period rather than two. In scanning this instrument’s physical-complex distortions we find the current period of exercise at the limit of this instrument’s strength. This is well in the long run due to a cumulative building up of the vital energies. In the short run it is wearying to this entity.[2]

Challenging our natural selves to the point of exhaustion can be very wearying, but it produces an increase in our physical and vital energies that can be quite helpful as we go about providing whatever service to others we have chosen as our means of increasing our polarity and following the direction of our hearts. Making conscious decisions about how exercise influences our ability to serve others in both the short term and the long term is an important spiritual consideration. Thusly do we become Exercisers on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life!

Today is the 39^th anniversary of Don, Carla, and I moving into this home. Don found it the day after it went on the market. Before I knew Don and Carla they loved taking drives in Anchorage because of the beauty of the trees and large yards, and Anchorage became the only place he looked for our new home. So that is how I have come to live here all these years in what has become my spiritual home.

This morning I went over to Thieneman’s Nursery and bought 15 bales of pine straw, and this afternoon I used them to mulch the Hibiscus bed in front of the fish pond, the Butterfly Bushes on the right side of the fish pond, the Azaleas off the back deck, and half the Azaleas in the cross area.

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

The Creator’s Maternal Side

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

How very much you need to focus in upon the nurturing, maternal side of the Creator of you all!

How very much you need to be held and comforted, for within each of you there is that brokenness which needs the arms put round, the comforting and the embracing.

We ask each of you to trust in that all-accepting and comfortable love which the Creator has for all of His children. Acknowledge this need for spiritual comfort and open your inner selves to the consolation of the spirit of Jesus the Christ. It is for this reason that this principle or energy has been granted for all times and in all places. We are here for you as you are here for Christ.

We leave you in the peace of love and union, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of health issues and diet:

Health Issues

Diet

Questioner: Are there any foods that are helpful or harmful that the instrument might eat?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument has body-complex distortion towards ill health in the distortion direction corrected best by ingestion of the foodstuffs of your grains and your vegetables, as you call them. However, this is extremely unimportant when regarded as an aid with equality to other aids such as attitude which this instrument has in abundance. It, however, aids the vital energies of this instrument, with less distortion towards ill health, to ingest foodstuffs in the above manner with occasional ingestion of what you call your meats, due to the instrument’s need to lessen the distortion towards low vital energy.[1]

During the Ra contact Carla had to deal with a lot of problems regarding her allergies to various foods. She also perpetually had low energy in her body due to pre-incarnative choices to use juvenile rheumatoid arthritis to limit her physical activities in the mundane world. By limiting outer activities she could spend more time to focus inwardly on her spiritual path via meditation, prayer, contemplation, and channeling. With these two prominent features in mind, Don asked Ra about the kinds of food that Carla should or should not eat.

Ra suggested that grains and vegetables would be the most helpful types of food for Carla to eat as a general rule. But in order to increase the vital energy of her body Ra also suggested that the occasional eating of meat would be helpful. There was one additional suggestion that Ra said was far more important than any kind of food that Carla might eat, and that was her attitude towards life.

Ra mentioned at one point that they were able to contact our group because of the purity of Carla’s desire to serve the One Creator and because of the harmony between the three of us.[2] Carla’s great desire to serve the Creator carried over into her daily life as well, as she constantly looked for ways to be of service to others. This type of a positive attitude towards the Creator in particular, and life in general, was food for her soul, shall I say. This type of food was considered by Ra to be far more important that any diet that Carla might adopt.

Questioner: In dietary matters, what would be the foods that one would include, and what would be the foods that one would exclude, in a general way, for the most or the greatest care of one’s bodily complex?

Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, we underline and emphasize that this information is not to be understood literally but as a link, or psychological nudge, for the body and the mind and spirit. Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance. In this light we may iterate the basic information given for this instrument’s diet. The vegetables, the fruits, the grains, and to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products. These are those substances showing respect for the self.

In addition, though this has not been mentioned, for this instrument is not in need of purification, those entities in need of purging the self of a poison thought-form or emotion complex do well to take care in following a program of careful fasting until the destructive thought-form has been purged analogously with the by-products of ridding the physical vehicle of excess material. Again you see the value not to the body complex, but used as a link for the mind and spirit. Thus self reveals self to self.”[3]

In this question Don asked Ra what might be the most helpful food that anyone could eat as a regular diet. To begin their answer Ra repeated their suggestion for Carla’s diet: grains, vegetables, fruits, and “to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism,” the animal products. In both cases, for Carla and for anyone else, Ra’s suggestion of eating animal products was that it be done as a means of aiding the individual metabolism of the body for anyone who needed that aid. This suggests to me that Ra would normally not suggest eating animal products unless a person had the need to increase their body’s vital energy. 

Once again, though, Ra suggested that it was not so much what you eat but that you choose food in order to show “care and respect for the self.” Ra said that this type of reason for eating any diet would be seen by the mind, the body, and the spirit to represent the type of love and valuing of one’s total being that would provide nourishment of a spiritual or metaphysical nature. This approach to eating any food is interesting in that it uses the food as a tool to achieve higher purposes than just eating to satisfy one’s hunger or eating certain foods because they taste good. It is also interesting to consider Ra’s use of the word “self.” Given that a positively-oriented entity seeks to view all others as the self, it is likely that a diet that focuses on self-care takes into consideration one’s desire to serve other beings, while balancing one’s individual need for health so that further service to others is possible. This moves into the realm of the Player on the Enhanced Game Board of life and doing whatever is best to do to be of service to others and to the One Creator.

Ra completed their answer by suggesting that not eating food, or fasting, was a way to rid the mind of “destructive thought-forms.” The fasting would be carried out until the harmful thought-form was gone. Once again, the body is a manifestation of the mind, where the true purification is sought. In Ra’s words this was the way that the “self reveals self to self.” This suggests that we can use foods as a means of self-revelation that has the power to purify not only our bodies but our minds and spirits as well. Taken in total, I believe that using food to discover our true selves we are also speaking about our natural self that, as we mature in our spiritual seeking, wishes ever more fervently to be of service to others. Q’uo defined our true selves:

Yet, we assure you that the requirement of one who wishes to enter the gates of intelligent infinity is this focus that accepts the discipline of the personality with joy and moves with lithesome feet, in terms of the energy body, into a basic attitude towards living that is at all times aware of this vital, inner space which is that nest from which the true self may emerge to live what seems to be an ordinary day but in fact is an enchanted, wonderful experience.

And why is it enchanted and wonderful and magical? Because as you have focused in on love and light, as you have asked your true self to step forward, so you have let fall away that which is not enchanted, that which is not magical.

The phrase in the Bible that you hear over and over again in the New Testament is, “He that has ears to hear, let him hear.” Life speaks to those who have the ears to hear with an ever sacred and always relevant voice. As your focus remains single and as you walk that strait and narrow path, you do not attempt to make sense of things. You are content to behold them and to find ways to respond to them with love.

You go deeper. As you go deeper within the soil of yourself and the sturdy root patterns of deep experiences that have made you the entity that you are, you also find yourself soaring ever higher, ever more widely ranging within that powerful circle of enchantment that is the life lived with the awareness of its magic. Q’uo, September 13, 2008.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being The Home Depot where I bought more netting for my flower gardens and some clear plastic sheets to use in covering the windows on the south side of the house where I have put dirt to slope from the wall down to the sidewalk to keep water from getting into the basement. My last stop was at The Plant Kingdom to pick up a Dogwood tree to replace the one that a windstorm blew down about a month ago. The Chicago Law of One Study Group kindly donated to help me purchase this tree.

This afternoon I went outside and used the rest of the pine straw that I bought a couple of weeks ago by placing it in three locations around the Wuthering Heights Mound in front of the house. Then I blew the walkways and porch clean in that area as well as in the garage and the driveway. I am still dealing with a lot of the seeds from the giant Sycamore tree that have blown down in recent wind storms.

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

April 3

Comfort Ye

I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ and of the principle of full, creative love. We greet you with thanksgiving and blessing and urge you also to find the blessings in this very hour, in this exact moment which lies before you.

When one thinks with one’s mind and reacts to one’s bodily needs, one is trapped in an area which is finite. Spiritual life is far different. We pray that you may, indeed, be comforted, realizing that the nature of spiritual comfort can be difficult.

For is it not written in the Holy Bible that the Comforter, encouraging the comfort of the people, ate locusts and wild honey and died a petty and horrible death? The Creator’s peace is a peace that knows no end of strife until the breath leaves the body. The principle of love is of this character.

May you find your peace, your strength, and your courage, as though all events, emotions and occasions were far more alike than different.

“Comfort ye. Comfort ye, my peoples.”

Indeed! Words of comfort, ultimately given from the cross. In resurrection we shall see each other face to face and will know each other for the great comfort that we have been, all to each other.

We leave you in peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The 102 quote for today comes from Chapter Three and the concept of the balancing exercises:

Balancing Exercises

To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.

The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smooths part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.

The third discipline of the mind is a repetition of the first but with the gaze outward towards the fellow entities that it meets. In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understanding patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience. We use this as a simple example. Most configurations of mind have many facets, and understanding of either self polarities, or what you would call other-self polarities, can and must be understood as subtle work.

The next step is the acceptance of the other-self polarities, which mirrors the second step.[1]

In this third-density illusion we grow spiritually by processing catalyst that we perceive on a daily basis. One efficient way to process catalyst, according to Ra, is by the use of a balancing technique. The following is my personal interpretation of Ra’s guidance. 

The whole process begins with the realization that each of us contains the complete universe of thoughts and feelings within our being. Most of us have preferences as to which qualities we want to express and which ones we would rather forget about. Ra suggested that it is not wise to pick and choose which attributes to accept and which to deny because that just confuses the situation of our being whole and complete. We need to recognize that completeness in order to eventually become a being so balanced that no catalyst throws us off of our center of love and understanding. Ra made this very clear in their answers to Don’s two questions:

Questioner: Would a perfectly balanced entity feel an emotional response when being attacked by the other-self?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The response is love.

Questioner: In the illusion that we now experience it is difficult to maintain this response especially if the entity’s attack results in physical pain, but I assume that this response should be maintained even through physical loss of life or extreme pain. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and further is of a major or principal importance in understanding, shall we say, the principle of balance. Balance is not indifference but rather the observer not blinded by any feelings of separation but rather fully imbued with love. (42.4-.5)

At the end of each day, we can take time to review how our day went. As we look back over our day we note each time that any experience made either a positive or negative impression on our minds and/or emotions. Then we can use a meditative or contemplative state to relive that experience in as much detail as we can remember. Next, we can mentally enhance that emotion or quality until it is very magnified within our being. At this point Ra suggested that we visualize the opposite quality of our experience but said that we should not create it. Then we wait, meditatively, for the opposite emotion or quality to arise within us to extent that it, too, is just as exaggerated as the original feeling. The last step is for us to accept ourselves for having both of these emotions/qualities as a portion of the total being that we are.

As an example, let’s say that at one point during the day you were talking to your neighbor about where the boundary line was between your properties. He says it is two feet farther over on your side, and you say it is two feet over towards his side. You argue with him and get angry. You stalk off in a huff and refuse to talk any further.

That evening you sit in meditation and relive that argument, remembering each detail of how the argument began and how it escalated into anger. When you are once again feeling angry, you sit with that feeling and allow yourself to experience its full intensity. After that you visualize the opposite of anger which might be acceptance. Then you meditate, waiting patiently for the feeling of anger to subside, and you notice an acceptance within your being takes its place. In this way, you show yourself that you are capable of having both these feelings or qualities within your being. Your other self, or neighbor in this case, has mirrored back to you the emotion of anger that you can process into acceptance. The final step is to accept this experience as evidence that you are more than what you seem. This is one technique by which we can allow ourselves to feel and process our difficulties, while also discovering more of our true nature.

This balancing process has as its foundation this statement from Ra: “It is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it.”[2] We seek to balance both the positive and the negative experiences with their opposites so that slowly, over many years of continuing this practice, we realize more of our completeness as 360-degree beings, which is another way of describing the Creator. This is how Ra described this process:

Questioner: Now, what I am trying to get at is how these disciplines affect the energy centers and the power, shall I say, of the white magician. Could you, will you tell me how that works?

Ra: I am Ra. The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold. One, know yourself. Two, accept yourself. Three, become the Creator.

The third step is that step which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves. In relation to the pursuit of the magical working the continuing discipline of the personality involves the adept in knowing itself, accepting itself, and thus clearing the path towards the great indigo gateway to the Creator. To become the Creator is to become all that there is. There is then no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching. As the consciousness of the indigo ray becomes more crystalline, more work may be done; more may be expressed from intelligent infinity.[3]

Here our natural self is able to further its ability to increase its service to others by balancing and clearing the energy body so that eventually we may become that which we have sought for so many years and lifetimes: the One Infinite Creator.

This morning I ran a series of errands beginning with a stop at Feeder’s Supply to buy some bird see. Then I stopped at First Watch to have a brunch of Belgian Waffles. My third stop was at Petco to buy some greenie pouches for Mr. Mush. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to pick up some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription, some paper plates, and clothes detergent.

This afternoon I went outside and put some netting over the new Hosta sprouts in the Hidden Garden to protect them from the deer. Then I went to the Astilbe garden to tied back the leaves of the daffodils, which have completed their bloom, so that the Astilbe will have more sun light to aid their new growth. My last job of the afternoon was to clean the filters in the fish pond and dip out all of the Sycamore tree seeds that blew in with our last wind storm yesterday.

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

April 2

Give Thanks!

I am of the consciousness of the most high. I greet you in the realization of unconditional love, the consciousness of the Christ.

The morning has come again. For what can you give thanks? If there is no sunshine to praise, then praise the clouds and rain.

If you cannot give thanksgiving for the plenteousness of water and the shade of the trees in an oasis, give thanksgiving instead to the clean, clear, lucid and deep desert wherein may be found plain answers and the untangling of many a mystery.

If you seem tossed about on the stormy ocean and find that you cannot praise this condition, praise instead the endlessness of that ocean and the infinity and freedom of the water.

For all things made by the Creator are equally to be praised. All moods, feelings and thoughts of those conscious beings whom He made are equally worthy.

Therefore, in whatever condition you find yourself, give thanks. But chiefly give thanks for the Creator which has made all things. For in all things lies love; the love of the consciousness of wholeness, healing and peace which is the gift in embodiment of Jesus the Christ.

May you feel blessed regardless of circumstance, because you are a witness to the creation. You may not understand it but you may praise it in faith and hope, and in that spirit shall you be consoled.

We leave you in the peace and consolation of the spirit of unconditional and infinite 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.

[3] The Ra Contact: Teaching the Law of One, 74.11.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Three and the concept of the chakra system/energy body:

Chakra System/Energy Body

15.12 Questioner: How does an individual go about balancing himself? What is the first step?

Ra: I am Ra. The steps are only one; that is, an understanding of the energy centers which make up the mind/body/spirit complex. This understanding may be briefly summarized as follows.

The first balancing is of the Malkuth, or Earth, vibratory energy complex, called the red-ray complex. An understanding and acceptance of this energy is fundamental.

The next energy complex which may be blocked is the emotional, or personal, complex also known as the orange-ray complex. This blockage will often demonstrate itself as personal eccentricities or distortions with regard to self-conscious understanding, or acceptance, of self.

The third blockage resembles most closely that which you have called ego. It is the yellow-ray, or solar plexus, center. Blockages in this center will often manifest as distortions towards power manipulation and other social behaviors concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex.

Those with blockages in these first three energy centers, or nexi, will have continuing difficulties in ability to further their seeking of the Law of One.

The center of heart, or green ray, is the center from which third-density beings may springboard, shall we say, towards infinite intelligence. Blockages in this area may manifest as difficulties in expressing what you may call universal love, or compassion.

The blue-ray center of energy streaming is the center which, for the first time, is outgoing as well as inpouring. Those blocked in this area may have difficulty in grasping the spirit/mind complexes of its own entity, and further difficulty in expressing such understandings of self. Entities blocked in this area may have difficulties in accepting communication from other mind/body/spirit complexes.

The next center is the pineal, or indigo-ray, center. Those blocked in this center may experience a lessening of the influx of intelligent energy due to manifestations which appear as unworthiness. This is that of which you spoke. As you can see, this is but one of many distortions due to the several points of energy influx into the mind/body/spirit complex.

The indigo-ray balancing is quite central to the type of work which revolves about the spirit complex (which has its influx then into the transformation, or transmutation, of third density to fourth density), it being the energy center receiving the least distorted outpourings of love/light from intelligent energy and having also the potential for the key to the gateway of intelligent infinity.

The remaining center of energy influx [violet ray] is simply the total expression of the entity’s vibratory complex of mind, body, and spirit. It is as it will be. “Balanced” or “imbalanced” has no meaning at this energy level, for it gives and takes in its own balance. Whatever the distortion may be, it cannot be manipulated as can the others and, therefore, has no particular importance in viewing the balancing of an entity.[1]

The seven chakras of our energy body are the pathway for the intelligent energy of the sub-Logos (the consciousness of our local sun) to travel from the red ray through each successive energy center or chakra and then into the violet ray. This upward travel of intelligent energy allows us to express greater and greater appreciation and manifestation of the One Creator as we move up the chakras. This energy moves more easily through our chakras as we are able to balance the distortions and blockages that our current level of seeking the truth will allow. These blockages can develop from pre-incarnatively chosen conditions which are intended to assist our seeking and serving of the One Creator. Our blockages can also come from our inability to consistently use catalyst in a conscious manner as it is drawn to us through the red-ray chakra.

The red-ray chakra is the first chakra to receive the love/light or intelligent energy of the sub-Logos. It is the first primary energy center as it is the foundation of all experience that is to come. Its nature is very basic to our being: that of survival and sexual reproduction. As it is the foundation ray it, it receives the first intelligent energy inflow to the energy body. The activity in all of the rest of our chakras is built upon this primary energy center.

The orange-ray chakra gives us our first indication of having a basic knowledge of and acceptance of our self. We discover here our unique eccentricities having to do with our struggles with self-awareness and self-acceptance. These qualities determine how we interact with others on a one-to-one basis and represent the first sharing of ourselves with others: a parent, a friend, a neighbor, a stranger, etc.

The yellow ray is the seat of societal relations. It allows us to develop a sense of our place and power in groups. It is the second primary ray as it is the seat of our awareness of the self as a spiritual, or conscious, being. In the yellow ray we blend our orange-ray individual selves with other orange-ray entities to expand our efforts in whatever field of endeavor we might choose with others of like mind such as schools, neighborhood organizations, the work place, the military, etc.

Balancing the first three chakras—whether for positive or negative use—is the polarized work of the self-conscious third-density being. As third-density entities, we may choose loving or unloving expressions of our red, orange, and yellow rays. The more we consciously balance these energy centers so that they may function predictably in a positive way, the more that the Creator’s intelligent energy can flow into the heart, and the more love we can express.  Ra says that our lower energy centers may become as “regularized” as the molecules in a crystal. This allows for the maximum amount of the Creator’s undistorted energy to move upwards to our higher chakras.

When a conscious seeker regards and serves all entities as the One Creator in at least fifty-one percent of its thoughts and actions, its harvestability is at hand. The open heart also functions as a kind of springboard which can allow the Player to access infinite intelligence and begin work in consciousness in areas such as healing, honest communication, magic, and experiences of the One Creator. The heart center is the expansion of our love and service to others that can then help us move into the higher energy centers which can become the work of the adept.

The blue-ray chakra is the first truly spiritually-oriented chakra in that the lovelight energies of the sub-Logos may be honestly communicated in an integrated and and outward sense to others. The blue ray is the third primary energy center as it is the first ray of radiation of self no matter of any actions of another, and the Player who has activated this center is a co-Creator who may give and receive clear communications with other entities and from other entities as well as with itself. The blue ray seats the learning/teachings of the spirit in each density within the mind/body/spirit complex, animating the whole, communicating to others this entirety of beingness. Such communication to and from others is a primary quality of our beings that we share with each other throughout each incarnation.

Working in indigo ray, we exercise our faith that we, too, are the Creator. This is a special form of self-acceptance which allows us to integrate our body, mind, and spirit in such a way that we open ourselves to full communion with the One Infinite Creator. The indigo ray is fed by life experience, but it is especially nurtured by the disciplines of the personality, those efforts made by the conscious seeker to know and accept itself fully so that it may experience itself as the Creator.

The violet-ray chakra is fixed in that it is the register or the mark of spiritual progress of the entity and reflects the overall balance of the other energy centers. It is also the ray that is evaluated during harvest, when the entity walks into the light to determine the ability of its energy centers to welcome and enjoy the light of the fourth density. The violet ray is tinged with other colors to indicate whether an entity has polarized negatively or positively. Contact with intelligent infinity or the One Creator occurs through the violet ray being penetrated and the sacred nature of all experience is realized at the eighth level just beyond the violet ray as Ra mentioned here:

Penetration into the eighth, or intelligent infinity, level allows a mind/body/spirit complex to be harvested, if it wishes, at any time/space during the cycle.[2]

This is a very profound yet basic concept that realizes that who we are as individualized portions of the One Creator is represented in each of us in the violet-ray energy center. It is the summation of the balance in our chakras and, according to Ra, is the “thermometer or indicator”[3] of our being. But when we make contact with intelligent infinity, or the One Creator, we transcend the colors of our chakras that indicate a seeming separation from the Creator and enter into the pure white light that signifies union with the Creator. For that time that we have contact with intelligent infinity we are one with the Creator.

This is where our natural self reaches its goal of unity with the Creator and “Service-to-others is automatic at the released energy generated by this state of consciousness” as Ra said in 57.33:

The space/time and time/space concepts are those concepts describing as mathematically as possible the relationships of your illusion, that which is seen to that which is unseen. These descriptive terms are clumsy. They, however, suffice for this work.

In the experiences of the mystical search for unity, these need never be considered, for they are but part of an illusory system. The seeker seeks the One. This One is to be sought, as we have said, by the balanced and self-accepting self, aware both of its apparent distortions and its total perfection. Resting in this balanced awareness, the entity then opens the self to the universe which it is. The light energy of all things may then be attracted by this intense seeking, and wherever the inner seeking meets the attracted cosmic prana, realization of the One takes place.

The purpose of clearing each energy center is to allow that meeting place to occur at the indigo-ray vibration, thus making contact with intelligent infinity and dissolving all illusions. Service-to-others is automatic at the released energy generated by this state of consciousness.

This statement suggests that in this state of unity all of our thoughts, words, and deeds are some kind of service to others and to the one Creator.

Today is the eighth anniversary of Carla’s passing into larger life. Today Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group focused our normal Q & A session on Carla and her legacy. It was a wonderful chance to share many of our experiences before, during, and after the Ra contact. I got to share personal and inspiring experiences like when she kept me from being washed out to sea in a rip tide in 1994 and how she always felt resolving any disagreements before going to bed for the night was the way to keep harmony in our relationship. Many other questions gave me the opportunity to discuss Carla’s channeling process, the way she dealt with psychic attacks, how we protected the place of working during the Ra contact, and how she devised a method of challenging any entities that wanted to speak through her as channel. We also talked about the grieving process that we all go through when a loved one passes into larger life. I couldn’t think of a better way to remember Carla today.

This afternoon I went outside and began cleaning up from the intense wind that blew through the night. There were a lot of tree limbs down and the small seeds from the seed pods of the giant Sycamore tree in my back yard were blown all over the yard. So I put the tree limbs in garbage cans for yard waste pickup next Thursday, and I used my backpack blower to blow the Sycamore seeds off of the walk ways and into the grassy areas so that I can eventually mulch them with my mower when the ground is much drier than it is now due to two inches of rain yesterday.

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

Cost And Fruit

I am of the principle of the consciousness of divine love and I greet you in radiant joy.

It is the season of Easter, the time when Jesus’ emergence from the earth is held in remembrance and His ascent therefrom rejoiced at. Now is the season of blooming, for just as Jesus grew like a flower from the earth, so too may we see in each flower that resurrection glory.

In this season may you find much to rejoice at, never regretting the cost of winter but glorying instead in the fullness and promise of spring. Such are the cycles of eternal life. The cycles contain different kinds of blooming and different kinds of growing, but always the pulse of cost and fruit.

We leave you in the peaceful harmony of Jesus the 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 our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
