The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Four and the section on marriage:

Marriage

It is difficult for us to give to this instrument our words, for the nature in truth of metaphysical marriage contains a third party. This is not a thought which this instrument finds easy to channel, however, in any metaphysical covenant there is a third party which overshadows both entities. You may call that being the Creator in whatever face you see. Perhaps we would do best to call it living love.[1]

For the spiritual seeker of truth, and the Player on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life, the marriage covenant not only seeks to help each partner partake in the becoming one body with the other, but with the One Creator as well, which Q’uo mentioned could also be seen as the concept of love. The marriage is the vehicle for each partner to amplify its search for the Creator within in the form, or energetic expression, of “living love.”This living love is the lens through which each partner attempts to see the other as well as all the various challenges that will present themselves to the couple during the marriage. If each can give over the personal sense of self in some degree and incorporate the living love of the Creator as the milieu in which the marriage functions, then the marriage is established as the first priority for each partner at all times. This is the work of the lifetime for both partners who seek to become Players together.

I would also like to mention that the traditional marriage is not the only way that people can choose to be together. Don and Carla were a good example of an alternative method of devoting themselves to each other. After they had been together for a few months Don was heading out the door to fly a trip for Eastern Air Lines that would last a few days. His hat was on, his coat was in his hands, and one hand was on the door. He turned around and asked Carla if she wanted to get married and “make this legal.” She commented on his body language and said that if he felt the same way when he got back from his trip she would love to get married. When he returned he said that she was wise to give him time to think because he really didn’t feel that a traditional marriage was right for him and her.

So what they decided to do was their own version of what is called Scottish handfasting. This is an ancient tradition of the Wiccan and Norse cultures where the couple joins hands and have a ribbon or cord tied around their hands. And, yes, this is where the term “tying the knot” comes from. The couple will either tie the ribbon themselves or have someone else do it. They may or may not include rings. There are many variations of how to do this hand fasting ceremony.

Don and Carla developed their own ritual by taking a common broom and laying it on the floor in the hall of their apartment. Then they joined hands and jumped over the broom with the intention that this action would signify that they were married. The purpose for Don and Carla creating their own marriage ceremony was that they knew that they were meant to be together and to do work of a spiritual nature, the first manifestation of which was to write The Crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater, a book that seemed to predict a lot of the experiences that they and L/L Research would have in the coming years. Their marriage ceremony was a symbol of their commitment to sharing a spiritual journey that would not only benefit them but the larger community of humanity on planet Earth. And so they lived for sixteen years with this form of marriage until Don passed into larger life on November 7, 1984.

After Don was gone, Carla and I knew that we were going to continue the work of L/L Research as it was our life’s work just as it had been Don’s. From the beginning of our time together which started in December of 1980, Carla, Don, and I felt that we had work to do together. Ra confirmed that we had been together in other lives as they said in 9.2:

“There have been several times when this group worked and dwelt together. The relationships varied. There is balanced karma, as you call it; each thus the teacher of each. The work has involved healing, understanding the uses of the earth energy, and work in aid of civilizations which called, just as your sphere has done, and we have come. This ends the material which we consider harmless.”

Since we knew that we would be together for the rest of our lives, or until one of us passed into larger life as well, Carla and I decided to get married because we felt that this was the most powerful way to be together. This was the way that we wanted to show our commitment to being of service to others. However, as time went on we fell head over heels in love with each other and became the love of each other’s lives. We were married for twenty-eight years, until Carla passed into larger life on April 1, 2015.

This morning Diana and I drove to Baptist Hospital and arrived at 6 am for my 9 am hip replacement surgery. The surgery went very well, and when I became conscious I was aware that all of the pain that I had been experiencing in my hip for the past few years was gone. A great feeling of joy and relief rose within me, and I am so grateful for this blessing. However, there was a side effect of the anesthetic in that it removed my ability to urinate, so I had to be catheterized before I left the hospital. Plus, I will need to be able to urinate by midnight tonight, or I will need to go to an Emergency Room for another catheterization.

A Lamp Set On A Hill

I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ. I speak to you in the flow of the consciousness of divine love.

When travail is on the agenda for the present moment and the present day, when there is an hour of need that you, with human eyes, gaze upon and know not what to do, then is the time to visualize within yourselves the light which makes visible each dark portion of the day. For if the mind has fled to the light and stands trustingly within its scope and power, the mind then becomes girded with that light and is full of love.

And if the human processes of doubt and excessive reaction alike are disregarded, each pilgrim may, then, become—in the present moment, in the present hour, in the present day—a lamp set upon a hill to illumine that dark need.

For within each exigency lie the seeds of harmony and peace. If you feel broken in this day, may you turn and ask to be made whole by the spirit of the love of Jesus the Christ.

We leave you in that hope of 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, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.

[1] Q’uo, June 27, 1987.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 comes from Chapter Four and the section on Family:

Family

There is probably no other experience in our lives that gives us more opportunities to be of service to others than do our families. Whether it is our birth family, marriage family, or that family of those we form bonds with along the way, we are presented with the chance to not only be of service to others on a daily—and sometimes hourly—basis, but I believe that our families provide us with more catalyst for our growth than we will receive from almost any other facet of our lives, and this is very likely because the majority of our pre-incarnative choices are first set into motion in our birth family. Carla was a good example of how such choices may be realized in a manner which might not be the most pleasant or fun. In the following quote (50.4-.5) Ra gave a general outline as to how this played out for Carla:

“Questioner: Could you give an example of how an entity sets up a condition for attracting a particular experiential catalyst and how that catalyst then is provided or is learned.

Ra: I am Ra. Such an example may be given.

Questioner: Will you give that?

Ra: I am Ra. We paused to scan this instrument’s consciousness for permission to use its experiential catalyst as example. We may proceed.

This is one instance, and extrapolation may be made to other entities which are aware of the process of evolution. This entity chose, before incarnation, the means whereby catalyst had great probability of being obtained. This entity desired the process of expressing love and light without expecting any return. This instrument programmed also to endeavor to accomplish spiritual work and to comfort itself with companionship in the doing of this work.

Agreements were made prior to incarnation; the first, with the so-called parents and siblings of this entity. This provided the experiential catalyst for the situation of offering radiance of being without expectation of return.”

The giving without expectation of return manifested for Carla as being tasked with a lot of work to do as a child that actually took her childhood away from her because she was such a child prodigy. Her mom and dad felt that she should be given a lot of responsibilities as a child to advance her already great intelligence. She was baby-sitting at age seven, cooking for the family at age 10, and she was never complimented for her work. Instead she was given helpful criticism meant to enhance her ability to do what she was doing.

Meanwhile her mom and dad were playing out their own choices by reacting to having to give up careers as a jazz musician for her dad and for her mom giving up being a co-host for Dave Garroway on the “Today Show” because their first meeting resulted in Carla’s eventual birth. So there was a tension between them that created a kind of frustration in their dinner table conversations that caused Carla to take shelter in her bedroom when she was alone or with her younger brothers later on and actually be their mom in how she lovingly related to them.

So if you want to look at where your various likes and dislikes have come from, it would probably be helpful to look at how your birth family programmed certain kinds of thoughts and behaviors in your life pattern. This is certainly the work of the Player once again.

I would like to share my own experience with my birth family. It is quite a bit different from Carla’s and from most other people’s that I have talked with about how they were raised and the difficulties that they had with their mom, or dad, or brothers, or sisters.

I received total support from my mom and dad. All they wanted was for me to be happy. I think that the basic reason for this was that they were both raised during the Great Depression of the 1930s in America. They were dirt poor and neither one finished high school. Dad had to quit school his sophomore year and get a job to help support the family. He got a job in a grocery store and continued in that work for the rest of his life, becoming the manager of a little grocery store in Lexington, Nebraska. Mom also had to quit school her sophomore year because her family moved too far away from the nearest school for her to get there by horse and wagon since her family had no automobile.

So when mom and dad met each other in Kearney, Nebraska during WWII, mom was working as a waitress in a small restaurant, and dad was a supply Sergeant in the Army. They got married a few months later on January 10^th, 1945. They decided to have just one child so that they could give him everything that they never had as kids when they were growing up. Mom worked as bookkeeper in the grocery store that dad managed and also stocked the shelves and ran the cash register, so they were able to rent a small house and pay the bills and provide me with the same kinds of toys that other kids had but which they never had when they were kids.

Starting in junior high I went out for whatever sport was in season, and mom and dad always drove our car for me and some of my fellow athletes to ride in to our away games since our small school didn’t have a bus that all of the athletes could ride in together. They put money aside for me from their earnings at the grocery store so that I could go to college, and they bought me a new car for my freshman year of college so I could drive back and forth from college to home on weekends. It was a 1965 Chevelle Malibu and only cost $2,800 back then. They were very proud of me when I was graduated from college. I was one of the first in their family to do so.

They also were glad when I went into Teacher Corps after college as it was a Master’s Degree program as well as a teaching experience that I got paid for. However, when I moved to the woods of central Kentucky, built a log cabin, and lived off the grid for six and one-half years they were somewhat disappointed because that was how they were raised with an outhouse and no running water or electricity. They had no real idea of what I was doing or why I was doing it, but they still supported me because they wanted me to be happy. They came to visit me once a year and drove their car up the running creek which was my access road, stayed in a small cabin that I built over my root cellar, and used a little outhouse that I built especially for them.

When I joined Don and Carla and the Ra contact was ongoing they continued to visit me once a year and were somewhat relieved that I was living in a nice house and was working with good people. However, when anyone would ask my mom what I was doing these days she would give her best estimation of my situation by saying that I was a typist for an airline pilot. Once again, they had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it. They were just glad that I was happy. I had quite an anomalistic childhood, to say the least, and very simple and loving parents for which I have always been very grateful.

This morning I changed the bedding and washed the bedspread as per instructions in preparation for my hip replacement surgery tomorrow. This afternoon I picked up Diana at the airport as she will stay with me for the first week of my recovery from the surgery. I am quite eager to have this surgery and be done with the pain of the severe osteoarthritis in my right hip.

Trust, Hope And Light

I am the spirit of the living truth and I greet you in the full consciousness of that love in which all truth abides.

This instrument is quite certain that it does not have the necessary state of mind for the transmission of truth and love, as it is concerned about its friends, pondering their courses of action, caring too much for the susceptibilities of others to suffering and doubt.

Yet we say to all who care for others that the same spirit that sustains each in its own struggles is ready to sustain friends and loved ones in that same suffering; that suffering which is universal; that suffering which furnishes good fruit; that suffering through which each pilgrim finds the value of not suffering.

Thus we say to each who is concerned for others, “Turn the attention to the self. Look for trust. Look for hope. Look for light. And then rejoice in that light, hope and trust and know that all is truly well.”

In this consciousness your friends may bathe as in the warmth of the hothouse and your consciousness may then be a seal and protection for your friends. Consciousness itself, and not so-called good advice, is the primary gift of the spirit of love.

May the consciousness which is the love of Jesus Christ sustain each and offer each peace, this day and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 102 quote comes from Chapter Four and the section on personal relationships:

Personal Relationships

In our personal relationships we deal, for the most part, with our individual sense of self—all of our personal eccentricities and unique features that make us who we are. This is our first opportunity to accept ourselves for being a unique and valuable person that seeks to express our sense of self on a one-to-one basis with other unique selves.

And, not only are we unique in the nature of our being, but every person that we will ever have an interaction with is unique as well. There is no one in the infinite creation that is just like any other person. It is helpful to keep this in mind as we are relating to others so that we always recognize this uniqueness and don’t try to fit anyone into a certain kind of category of person that we may have met before. Recognizing everyone’s uniqueness is the first way that we can be of service to others, plus it makes life a lot more interesting to recognize everyone’s unique nature.

One of the most powerful and intimate avenues for the expression of who we are is in sharing our sexual natures with others who have the potential to become a lover and or a mate. If we and our partner have activated the green-ray chakra, the energy that we create via love-making will be transferred back and forth between us so that we and our partner are revitalized according to our sexual identity and needs. The feminine sexual nature transfers emotional and inspirational energy, and the masculine sexual nature transfers physical energy as these are the energies that each has in abundance. However, until we are able to open our green-ray energy centers in unconditional love it is not possible to transfer any positive sexual energies to our partners. Opening our green-ray energy center expands our ability to be of service to others because our open hearts would imbue our service with love which would enhance the service greatly, giving it a positive emotional charge that would carry more weight for us and for those we serve.

Another type relationship that offers an energy transfer is that of the teacher and the student. The amount and quality of energy created and transferred is dependent upon the desire of the teacher to serve and the desire of the student to learn. It is also dependent upon the quality of the information that is shared and the ability of the student to comprehend it and use it. Ra never mentioned any necessity for the green-ray chakra to be open for transfers of this type of energy or for the following examples of energy transfers as well, but we know that the green-ray chakra needs to be open for sexual energy transfers to be possible, so it would stand to reason that it would also be true for any energy transfer. Ra always described us as teach/learners or learn/teachers, so whether we are the student or the teacher each of us in this type of relationship is performing a service for the other. The teacher has a chance to share more advanced knowledge with the student that broadens the student’s perspective and ability to utilize that knowledge in future interactions with others. And the student gives the teacher a focus for their desire to give to others the fruit of their accumulated wisdom.

Another energy transfer of is that of the speaker and the listener who are sharing a one-time conversation rather than the continuing experience of the teacher and student that would endure for some time. Whatever emotions were being expressed would be transferred between each entity so that the moment of transfer could be happy or sad, painful or glad, or any other quality that would be drawn out of the shared experience of both entities. Once again, both the speaker and the listener provide a service to each other as each is able to meet the needs of the other in some respect. All of our interactions with those around us have this quality of being of service by sharing our feelings and our thoughts in some manner that might eventually be useful to all concerned. As we go through life we gather more and more experience which enhances our ability to communicate with others and share the fruits of our life paths.

Spiritual energy transfers are the work of the adept and are at the heart of all energy transfers. As we are more able to perceive ourselves as the Creator, we are more able to channel the intelligent energy of the indigo ray to utilize in healing, in communication, in purification or protection of a place of working, or in the ability to create changes in consciousness. Since spiritual energy transfers involve the work of the adept I am sure that the green-ray chakra would need to be open for such transfers to occur.

One of the most important qualities that Ra mentioned for each mind/body/spirit complex was the uniqueness of each in how catalyst is perceived, the uniqueness of each in how energy centers are configured and balanced, the uniqueness of each as to how the images in the tarot may be interpreted, the uniqueness of each in the perception of intelligent infinity, the uniqueness of each concerning the pre-incarnative choices for this life, and on and on and on. We each are unique beings. There is no one else like any one of us in the infinite creation. That is why each of us has something unique and special to offer others in our personal relationships. In the deepest sense of our being our uniqueness is one of the greatest services that we can offer any other person. This is the way that the Player on the Enhanced Gameboard of life provides the greatest possible service to others throughout the life pattern.

This morning I used the garden hose and watering wand to water bushes and some flowers in the front and side yards. Then I drove over to the vet to pick up some receipts for Bennie’s two procedures there this past week where her rotten teeth were removed because they were making it hard for her to eat.

This afternoon I ran errands with my first stop being Feeder’s Supply where I bought more cat food, and then I stopped in at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought food for myself. When I got home I took a speed walk that was fairly slow as they have been of late since my right hip is truly ready for hip replacement surgery this coming Monday. When I got back I used the garden hose and watering wand to water bushes in the back yard. We are officially in a drought now with only .05 of an inch of rain in the last five weeks.

Guard Your Thoughts With Love

I am the spirit of all compassion, which speaks with the voice of Jesus the Christ to the needs of the world today. I greet my beloved brothers and sisters in spirit in the consciousness which is divine love.

You are surrounded by that love. Each cell of the body acknowledges and dwells within that love. All things are held in balance by divine love: planets in their courses, blood in the veins, the breath in the body.

All that is left without the confines of the perfect and perfectly understood love of Jesus the Christ is the free will of humankind. Therefore, your thoughts are not necessarily protected by the consciousness of love.

Allow your thoughts, therefore, to dwell with those things which are full of love: your own body, cell by cell; the creation about you, blade of grass by blade of grass. And love itself may come to comfort you as your consciousness prays to the consciousness of divine love.

May you be in prayer this day, for the Comforter is always with those who request it. In this surety and in this peace we leave you, with blessings, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 comes from Chapter Four and the section on Living the Choice:

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.”

 Purity of Intention: Putting Your Heart into Living The Choice

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 ourselves.

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. Our service to them may be as simple as a friendly greeting, a conversation to resolve a misunderstanding, giving them a ride to pick up groceries, sharing gardening tips, or any kind of interaction that one can imagine. The type of interaction is not as important as our purified intentions for interacting and imbuing that interaction with an open heart.

Personal Relationships

In our personal relationships we deal, for the most part, with our individual sense of self—all of our personal eccentricities and unique features that make us who we are. This is our first opportunity to accept ourselves for being a unique and valuable person that seeks to express our sense of self on a one-to-one basis with other unique selves.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Kroger’s to pick up some food for myself, my second stop at Walgreen’s to check on a couple of prescriptions, and my third stop at Bachman’s Subaru to check on how to more effectively position the driver’s seat. I discovered a lever that I had not used in years that took the bulge out of the lower part of the back support.

This afternoon I took my speed walk and then vacuumed the first floor of the house.

Credo

Greetings in the love of Christ. I am the spirit of the consciousness of Christ in the vibration which comforts this child.

Can you consider yourself as one of the company of the faithful because you know that the means of eternal life is at hand? Can you rest in the glory of your future experience while dwelling in the present difficult times?

We find your hearts to be lax, for in your appreciation of the inevitability of salvation, you forget that the moment of salvation for any soul is that moment in which the soul may turn to its Creator and vibrate, “Credo. Credo,” with a whole and single heart.

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, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in 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 section on 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 lovely 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. Whether the changes are consciously or unconsciously 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 afternoon I used the garden hose and watering wand to water selected flowers and bushes in the front, back, and side yards which are still alive and in need of water. Many flowers have been eaten by the deer since I stopped spraying them after our Homecoming Gathering. I have also decided to let the leaves all around the yard fall where they will and become part of my “leave the leaves” project although I may make an exception in the Moss Garden and blow the leaves out of there for the next couple of days before I have my hip replacement surgery next Monday. After that the leaves will definitely stay where they fall.

Seek First The Kingdom Of Heaven

I am the Spirit, that you call Holy, of the consciousness of Christ in the vibration which comforts this instrument. Greetings in the love of Christ and the peace of His kingdom.

Do you think that the grace and consolation of the Holy Spirit will come to you in time of need if you but turn your mind in the direction of aid and succor? Children, although this be true, nevertheless, it would behoove you first to seek knowledge of the Father’s kingdom, not for any good it might seem to do for you or be to you but for the sake of love alone.

For as you enter more and more into the consciousness of that kingdom, so will the nearly silent voice of the spirit be made resonant and full by your changing awareness. It is written, “Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and all things shall be added unto you.” These words are true and we recommend them to your consideration.

May the peace of the consciousness of Christ 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, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.

[1] Q’uo, March 19, 2000.

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

Healthy Use of Power

It seems as though it were giving away responsibility to give one’s will over to the will of the Creator, yet it is in no way a giving away of responsibility. Rather it is a dedication of the self to the rightness, the balance, the rhythm of the dance. It is an acknowledgment that within third density one cannot see clearly all of the factors that weigh on a situation. One cannot see what the grand pattern is that lies beneath the smaller patterns. [Such a choice] expresses the desire to cooperate with and harmonize with that pattern to come into balance with the one infinite creation and all of its interactive parts. Free will is at its most expressive as it chooses the will of the infinite One and releases attachments to outcomes within the illusion in favor of what that mystery shall bring about in the way of deeper reconciliation and return to balance.[1]

I believe that power is the ability of a person to affect changes in another person’s thoughts or behaviors through logical or emotional discourse or through the manner in which a life is lived as an example of certain principles. This is basically a third-density means of interaction which usually would not have any polarity associated with it as it is the normal way of parents relating to children, employers relating to employees, neighbors relating to neighbors, teachers relating to students and so on. Q’uo suggested that the right use of our power is to give over our free will to the Infinite Creator so that Its will may be done through us. If we are willing to give over our free will power of choice to the Creator of Love, we are engaging in a kind of dance in which we realize that we are part of the unity of all creation that moves in harmony with all of its infinite parts in order that the Creator may know Itself more fully, more purely, and with greater variety.

Q’uo also suggested that by giving over our free will choices to the will of the Creator that we are not ignoring our responsibility to make choices as to how we would be of service to others. Instead, we are seeking to be a more effective part of the service to the One Creator by asking to be a part of Its desire to know Itself in whatever way is possible for us to be of assistance. We are seeking to be an integral and effective partner in the grand dance of interactive beingness with the great multitude of other service-to-others souls who are already dancing to the rhythms of love, light, and unity.

Becoming the Creator is a process of allowing consciousness to supplant the intellect. You can be nothing else but the Creator. That is a given, although you cannot prove this. You can only know it by faith. Faith and unknowing alone will tell you that you are a spark of the Creator, a holograph, in a way, of the Godhead principle, shall we say. Your deepest self vibrates in unconditional love as part of the Creator. Consequently, becoming the Creator is a matter of allowing this impersonal, deeply loving consciousness to become a greater and greater part of your everyday beingness.[2]

Another way of looking at this transformation of our wills into the will of the Creator is that we are activating the prodigal son within us so that we come home to the House of God, the Source of unconditional love that created all that is within the infinite creation. The foundation stone of this entire process is faith, faith that we are a spark of the Godhead principle and that we can allow this spark to grow into a larger and larger part of our Earthly experience. We may seem to have wandered far from this reality of being the Creator as we have moved through various stages of our spiritual journey within the third-density illusion, but the more we seek, the more we find the One burning brightly within us.

As we seek to do the will of the Creator we, in effect, are seeking to go beyond the prodigal son and beyond our natural selves to become the Creator within our life patterns. We seek, not to act within the realm of our own volition, but we seek to have the Creator live its will through us as our greatest means of being of service to others. This is another way of saying that we seek to live by Grace so that we become perfect instruments, so that the will of the Creator is done through us. We, in effect, become beholders of the Grace of God, and in this process we become the ultimate Players on the Enhanced Game Board of Life.

This afternoon I cleaned the filters for the fountain in the fish pond because I noticed the height of the fountain had reduced significantly in the last few days. This usually means that the filters are filled with mud that keeps the water from flowing freely through the filters and reduces the height of the fountain. I also took this opportunity to place the water lily tubs on the bottom of the fish pond for the winter.

Claim Your Birthright

Greetings in the love of Christ. I am of the principle of that consciousness which is Christhood, in the vibration which comforts this instrument.

Although it is well that you gaze searchingly on each face of Christ which you meet in your daily round of activities and experience, it is better for you to be inspired by these exaggerated delineations of the characteristics of love, turning from them to a truer expression of that love in Christ.

For to call your experiences by their true name is to bless them and own them, claiming them as part of your birthright. For you and they and all that is are not only created by God, but are of God, and to behold your likeness is far more blessed than all the careful judgments you may make, wise though those judgments may be.

The consciousness of Christ is the consciousness of love, that love which creates, Christ being the truest expression of that potent quality in your waking consciousness. Turn you, then, to that source of light and let love illumine all the facets of your life.

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, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density.

[1] Q’uo, January 22, 2011.

[2] Q’uo, October 17, 2009.

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

Sexuality

During the Ra contact Don, Carla, and I were pleasantly surprised to see sexuality discussed in ideal terms 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. Gotta have sex to have children, but other than that there seems to be an unspoken agreement to keep any references to sexuality on the “down low.”

The following quote from Ra gives us some background as to why sexuality on Earth has 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 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. 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 afternoon I took Bennie, one of Dana’s feral kitties to the vet because she had quit eating. The vet discovered that she doesn’t have any teeth except her molars and there is bloody drool around them. Because this would make it painful to eat and also made her dehydrated because she eats canned cat food and gets her water from them. So the vet took a sample of Bennie’s blood to see if there is anything else going on and also gave her a subcutaneous infusion of fluids to help her feel better right away. We will see if the blood sample finds any more problems, and then we will take Bennie back to have her molars pulled and see if there is anything else that we can do to make her life better.

Signposts Of Joy

I am the spirit of that consciousness which is the Christ held sacred by you. We greet you in the love of Christ.

It is not only in good circumstances that the Comforter is available to those who seek inspiration but in those perceived as difficult as well. It is well to turn to the inspiration of godly things, eschewing attachment to the transient joys of the day in exchange for fuller and deeper understanding of the greater good and the spiritual essence of mundane happiness.

For happiness as well as sorrow is a state of mind peculiar to an illusion in which your consciousness is impinged upon by all of those distractions of the senses which please and cloy.

View pleasure, then, with the same eye with which you view pain, not disowning your senses but rather appreciating them as signposts of a deeper, spiritual joy.

May the peace of the consciousness of love 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, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight.

[4] Q’uo, April 9, 1995.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 is from Chapter Three and the section on 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, happiness, serenity, 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. Of course, many people participate in one of the several mainstream religions on Earth, but I am not aware of any orthodox religion that teaches that our life experience are catalyst for spiritual growth, or “grist for the mill.” Most religious adherents are satisfied to accept religious dogma and simply believe as they are instructed to do by their religious institutions. Ra gave a mixed evaluation of religions on Earth:

Thus the negative forces were partially successful, but the positively oriented Moishe, as this entity was called, gave to your planetary peoples the possibility of a path to the One Infinite Creator which is completely positive.

This is in common with each of your orthodox religious systems which have all become somewhat mixed in orientation yet offer a pure path to the One Creator which is seen by the pure seeker.[2]

But the Player will still have to navigate the consensus reality that does not partake in a conscious spiritual journey to in order to help reduce the mass confusions of our culture. This is why it is so helpful for the spiritual seeker to use its own process of balancing catalyst to increase its own inner love and light that can be used to bring more harmony to the world around us. 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.[3]

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.[4]

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.[5]

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.[6]

No matter what we think we are experiencing, we are actually, in the heart of our true being, experiencing the Creator experiencing 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.[7]

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.[8]

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 afternoon I ran my usual errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought cat food and bird seed. Then I stopped at Kroger’s and bought some food for myself as I did at my last stop, Paul’s Fruit Market. I am stocking up on extra food for myself and my kitties to last me through my hip replacement surgery and recovery time.

The Gates Of Your Heart

Greetings in the love of Christ. I am the spirit of the consciousness of love in the vibration which comforts this child.

You who understand so many things about your daily life and make so many connections between events so as to bring them into order, would find comfort in turning for a deeper understanding of events to the contemplation of that Thought which created you.

For even as you appreciate the gift of father and mother in offering the possibility of breathing and living incarnation, so even more may you appreciate the ultimate Creator of you and of all things.

Nor is it possible to contemplate the infinite order of the creation without assuming, finally, that unacceptable and difficult circumstances are, nevertheless, intentionally organized for your benefit.

Look, then, at the same situation which you have analyzed so well within your mind and open the gates of your heart, letting confidence and peace in the rightness of all that you see wash over you. And in that atmosphere the birth of the deeper understanding will aid the child of God in making the deeper sense of any circumstance.

My peace be with you, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 comes from Chapter Three and the section on mental health:

Mental Health

Rob Williams’s info on DNA and affirmations—PSYCH-K

In Carla’s original outline for this book, she referenced the work of Robert M. Williams and his information on DNA and affirmations. In order to educate myself on Rob Williams and his work, I watched two hours of videos in which he described how this process works. I will share what the theory is and how it worked on a volunteer to change her negative core belief within five minutes. I will put into my own words how the process works without making a comprehensive list of all the basic assumptions that go into it. You don’t actually have to know all of that information because the process is said to work even if you don’t understand its scientific or psychological basis.

PSYCH-K is a process of therapy which goes beyond the traditional type of therapy that involves weekly sessions where you talk about your problems with a psychologist or psychiatrist. Some forms of therapy may or may not ever reach the core beliefs and experiences that affect our lives every day at the heart of our being. Rob Williams created a totally different healing modality called PSYCH-K that he says does deal directly with our core beliefs and experiences.

Rob attests that it is easier to change habits of thought and behavior if you access your subconscious mind, the storehouse for attitudes, values, and beliefs. Muscle testing, according to Rob, is the easiest way to communicate with the subconscious mind. He says that the subconscious mind controls motor functions such as muscle movement, and that various muscle tests can help gain information from this part of the mind. The tests involve assessing muscle strength in response to “true/false,” “like/dislike,” and “yes/no” statements.

The process begins when a person who is seeking to change old beliefs stands up and extends one arm parallel to the floor. Their eyes should look down, as this is supposed to activate the emotions of the subconscious mind. The practitioner speaks the words “be strong” before pressing down lightly on the extended arm. This demonstrates that the practitioner is able to push down the subject’s arm when no question is asked.

If an incorrect statement is made, such as telling the subject that her name is Tom, the extended arm can be pushed down. The test is then repeated, but with the subject’s real name stated. In the example I observed, the practitioner could not push the subject’s arm down when he made a correct statement. Rob teaches that this is due to the subconscious mind giving the subject the strength to resist. Using this process, the practitioner establishes communication with the person’s subconscious and obtains permission to work towards changing an old belief, now that communication has been established with the subconscious mind via these two questions.

In the presentation I was watching, where Rob was the facilitator, the volunteer subject then sat in a chair and crossed one ankle over the other in order to achieve left and right brain integration. In most people the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Crossing the legs at the ankles is meant to ensure that both sides of the brain will be involved in this procedure. Sometimes right over left is better. Sometimes left over right is better. The volunteer was able to feel which was better.

Next, the volunteer stretched both arms in front of her body and crossed one wrist over the other so that the fingers interlocked with the palms touching. She was prompted to take a few minutes to silently repeat the negative voices that had been speaking for years  in her mind telling her why she was not good enough, strong enough, wise enough, et cetera. This took about five minutes to accomplish.

After that, she uncrossed her ankles and wrists and put her hands and fingers together, the outstretched fingertips of each hand touching without the palms touching. This was meant to engage both sides of the brain for the actual work of changing the subconscious belief. Rob used the right arm to test if the inner conversation process was complete with a yes/no question. Then he had the subject stand up. He used the outstretched-arm muscle test to both affirm the statement which reflected the desired change, and to verify that the belief had been changed. The change, according to Rob, had occurred because the inner wisdom of the subconscious mind had been given a means to express this wisdom.

Rob Williams claims to have received this technique some years ago as a kind of transfer of information to him from an inner source. He said that he was skeptical of the information until he tried it himself. I must say that I can see why Carla was convinced that Rob’s process for changing limiting core beliefs and behaviors could be quite helpful.

This morning I used the sprinkler to water the large forsythia bushes on the west side of my back yard. It has been so long since we have had rain that even these large bushes were beginning to show drooping leaves, and I hope this watering will help them out. Then I used my backpack blower to complete the leaf blowing job in the front yard that I began yesterday afternoon. I blew all of the leaves into the area between the fish pond and the pet cemetery and then let the sprinkler run there for a few minutes while I used the blower to blow more leaves into the back yard. Then I used my big mower to crunch the leaves that I had watered so that I wouldn’t be working in a cloud of dust.

This afternoon I went over to southern Indiana to visit Connie, a dear friend of Carla’s and mine who has been in a care home for over three years now as a result of two strokes in 2019. We enjoyed catching up on what has been happening in our lives since last month. Then I read to her from Archangels and Ascended Masters, by Doreen Virtue. That is one of her favorite books of all time, and it contains some very inspiring information.

Carelessness And Forgetfulness

I am the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ who speaks unto the world this day, this hour and this moment through the mouth of this instrument and in the heart of each and every soul that exists.

O, how abundant is the spirit! O how rich and inestimably close is the comfort which you seek!

It is mere forgetfulness, not willfulness, that draws most of you from the spirit and consciousness of Jesus the Christ. It is a carelessness of fine trust that one may go forward and forget the center of being.

Yet to move in thought and action without the spirit is to invite the calamity of a careless confusion, one less able to be penetrated in the end by love and peace.

Yes! We ask you, rejoicing, to carry the strength, the comfort, and the laughter of the spirit of Jesus the Christ in your heart each hour of this day, calling into remembrance all of Christ’s passion and remembering love itself made manifest, as that love made us manifest to you, for all time.

We leave you in peace, now and ever. In the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

Exercise

During the Ra contact Ra said my particular nature was one of exercising power and that it would be spiritually helpful for me to exercise daily and for this exercise to be most helpful, it could be focused on being of service to our group of three. They also recommended that after I was done with my exercising that it would be well for me to enter into solitary contemplation. (99.5)

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. 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 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. 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. 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 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 four times a week keeps me limber. Carla and I developed this routine from combining exercises from her dance background and 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 and in my right hip where I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. I take a speed walk six days a week also as a means of addressing both of these conditions, and I have recently begun dancing again as this is also a way of increasing bone density plus aid 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.

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. 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!

This morning I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the back yard into two locations: one behind the garage as a part of my “leave the leaves” program, and one on the south side of the back yard where I also used the water sprinkler to get the leaves wet before mulching them into leaf dust with my big mower. It has been so dry for the last month that if I had not used the sprinkler to dampen the leaves I would have been lost in a cloud of dirt dust.

This afternoon I began blowing the leaves in the front yard across the front yard with the intention of doing the same as I had done in the back yard, but I stopped for a moment to say “Hi” to my neighbor, and she asked if I had a few minutes to look at the pictures that she took on her and her husband’s trip to Italy a couple of weeks ago. She had a lot of pictures, and after looking at them it became apparent to me that I would need to finish the leaf work tomorrow as I still wanted to vacuum the first floor of the house.

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

October 14

Contention And Disagreement

I am the active principle of Jesus the Christ, the spirit which speaks to the world this day. I greet you in the consciousness of full and divine love.

This day this instrument goes to a convention to do business for her church. This instrument seems to expect a good many differing and potentially hostile opinions.

It is encouraged, in this instrument and in all who see contention in the world outside the self, that all the various opinions and disagreements without be taken within, that it may be recognized that that which is seen as a picture with the eyes may be understood to be a way of seeing that contention, that confusion, which is within the self.

When once the peace of Christ has penetrated the inner being and the heart is soft and compassionate, the outer confusion will never again seem threatening but merely noisy, for there is a peace which passes all understanding.

It is the understanding of love, and in this love and peace we leave you. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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