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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 comes from the section in Chapter Three 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 vital energy 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 is 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.

This morning I used the garden hose and watering wand to water many of the flowers in the front, side, and back yards. Later in the morning I visited one of my investment advisors and a new fellow in that department and we ended up talking about the Ra contact and the Law of One. This reminded me that spiritual seekers may be found in all walks of life.

This afternoon I once again used my garden hose and watering wand to water the forsythia in the back yard on the south border and half of the west border. You know it’s dry when forsythia bushes’ leaves begin drooping. It has been four weeks since we have had rain, and there is now a “no outside fires” order in effect to avoid having wildfires in the Louisville area.

Hope And The Experience Of Love

I am known as the Holy Spirit. I greet you in the full consciousness of the love and the creative energy of Jesus the Christ.

As that active energy called love invisibly swirls and moves throughout each atom of creation, opportunities are constantly being given for that which is of a less spiritual nature to take on the vibrations of a spiritualized love. Thus does the spirit bring out the song in stone, the clapping of hands of the trees, and the rejoicing of the mountains.

Thus also the spirit of the Holy One moves invisibly and energetically within the heart of humankind, creating seemingly from nothing a strong and lasting faith. The seeker who wishes to experience the movement of the active principle of love need bring to the encounter with that transformative energy nothing but a heart full of hope.

Not all encounters with new life are as dramatic as Paul’s vision upon the road to Damascus. May you be willing to support within yourself those promptings of energetic love which whisper from deep within your heart. May you hope in the spirit.

We offer you the peace of this ever-fulfilled desire, 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 Three and the section on 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.

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 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. 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. This is the heart of Ra’s suggestion:

“One, know yourself. Two, accept yourself. Three, become the Creator.”[3]

Here our natural self is able to further its ability increase its service to others by balancing and clearing the energy body so that more of the light/love of the Creator is able to enhance our choices of service to others.

The Response Of Worship

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

Worship, worship, worship! This word is important above all others to the pilgrim upon the path of Jesus the Christ. For there is no part in man of the Father if there is no appreciation and love of the greater self within.

Worship and rejoice!

Worship and confess!

Worship and give praise and thanksgiving!

See the heart attempting to issue more and more refined and intensified emotion and realize that each and every moment of each and every day holds the opportunity of seeing things in such a way as to provoke the response of worship. For all things are worshipful when done mindful of the Father.

O, desirous ones who doubt and seek, worship first and find security after the gamble has been taken. This is the way of the pilgrim.

We leave you in the peace and the love of Jesus the Christ, both now and evermore. 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 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 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 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 yellow ray, we use our will to act according to our preferred polarity—or else to remain indifferent and unpolarized.

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 blue-ray chakra is the first truly spiritually-oriented chakra in that the love/light energies of the sub-Logos may be honestly communicated in an integrated 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.

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 fully 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 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.” (57.33) 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.

This morning I used my backpack blower to blow all of the leaves in the back yard into the area behind the garage where I will leave them as another area in the yard to aid in the “leave the leaves” project to enhance the pollinators and allow caterpillars, spiders, snails, spiders, worms, beetles to overwinter and then become food for chipmunks, turtles, birds, and frogs.

This afternoon I used my backpack blower again to blow all of the leaves in the front yard into the area between the fish pond and the pet cemetery which is another area that I have dedicated to the “leave the leaves” project. This evening our channeling circle will meet to practice the art of channeling once again.

Newness And Clarity

Greetings in the consciousness of the love of Christ. We are the spirit of that love in the vibration which comforts this instrument.

We find this instrument’s vocal apparatus ready to serve and her desire strong. And we find one more element which improves this child’s opportunities for being of true service. That is that there is little preparation made beforehand as to what this moment of contact will bring.

It is an uncomfortable way to enter into acts of communication and yet it bears the stamp of the consciousness of Christ. For the essence of love is freedom. The less guessing that you offer about what shape the communication will take, the greater scope the mind has to accept information.

Seek, then, to put on the nakedness of no expectation, and remove from yourselves the clumsy, heavy shoes of fantasy and design and feel the burst of newness and clarity spring through into your conversations.

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.

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 Reincarnation:

Reincarnation

The concept of reincarnation is a widely held belief in some religions, such as Hinduism, and was actually an aspect of Christianity during the time of Jesus, but as Ra said in 104.25, “For although originally part of Jesus’ teachings, they were censored from all subsequent editions by the Empress.” The Empress was Empress Theodora, wife of Justinian I, ruler of the Byzantine Empire about 500 years after the time of Jesus. She is known for having arranged to have the concept of reincarnation removed from the Bible so that she and her husband could be deified after their deaths. To her thinking, it wouldn’t be possible to be deified if all the people knew that she would have another incarnation after her present one. A god must be immortal, not mortal.

You have lived for many, many lifetimes already in this environment or density of experience, and by now you have observed over and over and over that much of the experience that you gather seems to be about love, love expressed in selfish ways and love expressed in service to others and to the Creator. The overall plan, which the Creator made available and which lasts not only through this density, but through many densities, indeed, those higher than are we, this process has to do with attempting to grasp the nature of the Creator. It is our opinion that the nature of this Creator is the nature of one singular thought, and that thought is the thought of love.[1]

Within this third-density illusion it is the goal of every entity to be able to open the heart in unconditional love to the extent that this love is shared freely with all other entities and the One Infinite Creator. As positively polarizing entities, we enter each incarnation with this as the focus of our learning in some way or another. We seek to be of service to others whenever the opportunity to serve others arises, and this will very likely allow us to make the Harvest to the fourth density of love and understanding. This requires us to be able to open our hearts in love in at least fifty-one percent of our thoughts and interactions with others.

Another way of saying this is, per Q’uo, we are “attempting to grasp the nature of the Creator.” As the Creator determined that It wished to know Itself, It focused this Free Will desire through the creative aspect of Itself which is Love, and produced the Light that became the fabric of the infinite creation. So as we attempt to open our hearts in unconditional love to all and to be of service to all, we are attempting to see all as the Creator. We are attempting to love all as the Creator. This also includes loving ourselves as the Creator. This is a lesson that may take many incarnations to learn. 

Questioner: Then although many entities are not aware of this, what they really desire is to accelerate their growth, and it is their job to discover this while incarnate. Is it correct that they can accelerate their growth much more while incarnate in third density than in between incarnations of this density?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. We shall attempt to speak upon this concept.

The Law of One has, as one of its primal distortions, the Free Will distortion. Thus each entity is free to accept, reject, or ignore the mind/body/spirit complexes about it and ignore the creation itself. There are many among your social memory complex-distortion who, at this time/space, engage daily, as you would put it, in the working upon the Law of One in one of its primal distortions; that is, the Ways of Love.

However, if this same entity—being biased from the depths of its mind/body/spirit complex towards love/light—were then to accept responsibility for each moment of the time/space accumulation of present moments available to it, such an entity can empower its progress in much the same way as we described the empowering of the call of your social complex-distortion to the Confederation.[2]

As Don mentioned in the above quote, most people don’t realize that they are alive at this time on Earth for the purpose of accelerating their spiritual evolution. It usually takes quite a while before a person on the flat game board has information from books, personal experiences, thoughts, dreams, and coincidences that spur it on to become a conscious seeker of truth. Once that happens then the Player begins the conscious journey on the Enhanced Gameboard, eventually choosing its path of service and accelerating its evolution in the manner of doubling and redoubling its progress.

When this Choice is made within the third-density illusion to the degree necessary to make the Harvest into the fourth density of love and understanding, it becomes the “axis upon which the creation turns.”[3] The seeker’s work within this third-density illusion becomes of primary importance to its further work in the higher densities. There each entity will refine its Choice and express its service in many ways. For the positive entity this happens according to other-selves’ requests for service and the ability to fulfill these requests.

Again, our natural selves function throughout a series of many reincarnations that we all use as means to realize our true self as the one Creator. As we progress from lifetime to lifetime we continue to find ways of being of service to others whether we are wanderers here to help Earth’s population evolve or third-density spiritual seekers attempting to make the harvest with our spiritual brothers and sisters.

Today marks two weeks that Boscoe has been downstairs, and he loves having so much more room to roam around in and is becoming a good friend. Bennie and Mr. Mush now have the upstairs all to themselves, so I think that all of my cats now have a better life.

This morning I made an appointment to see a gastroenterologist to determine if more can be done to deal with my acid reflux condition and also an appointment to renew my driver’s license so that it can be used for “real ID purposes” such as flying on airplanes.

This afternoon I ran errands with my first stop being at Walmart’s to buy copy paper for my printer. My second stop was at Nothing Bundt Cakes to buy a small snickerdoodle cake to take with me Saturday when I visit my friend who is in a care home in Southern Indiana. Then I stopped at PetSmart to buy some greenie pouches to use as treats for my cats. My last stop was at Kroger’s to buy more groceries.

See Love Within The Self

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

We ask you to use the eyes of love to look upon yourself at this time. See the principle of love which sustains the physical body with the breathing, the movement of the blood which gives life to the body, the movement of your digestive processes which offers to the body nutriment, those cleansing and purifying forces of body which carefully remove those things harmful to the body and eliminate them.

Know and feel that the spirit of the living Christ dwells in this good body, this healthful, lively clothing of flesh.

Gaze at the inward thoughts and shed upon them the light of living love. Praise those tendencies within the self which tend toward the love of Christ and its reflection within the thoughts of each and every moment. Come into a state of love with the self, acceptance and praise of the self, knowing that the Creator moves through each part of the body, every portion of the mind.

Then, and only then, armed with a love of self in Christ, gaze outward and see Christ in every body, every mind, and every yearning soul. It is your choice to love and invite, with every portion of will, the viewpoint of love towards self and all.

We are with you in peace, both now and always. Amen.

2022-10-09

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 Karma:

Karma

Questioner: Thank you. Would you define karma?

Ra: I am Ra. Our understanding of karma is that which may be called inertia. Those actions which are put into motion will continue, using the ways of balancing, until such time as the controlling or higher principle, which you may liken unto your braking, or stopping, is invoked. This stoppage of the inertia of action may be called forgiveness. These two concepts are inseparable.[1]

These “actions that are put in motion” are the result of both our pre-incarnative and incarnative choices and make up the lessons that we wish to learn within this third-density illusion. At some point in our journey of reincarnating through various lifetimes, we become conscious of the incarnational process, and we are able to program these lessons for ourselves. Previous to our becoming consciously aware of this process these lessons are programmed for us by our inner teachers and guides—and sometimes by the sub-Logos, our sun. These entities assess the needs of our energy body to allow the love/light of the One Creator to eventually flow as freely as possible through our chakras.

It seems that our lessons are ideally limited to just a few per lifetime so that we do not become overwhelmed and confused. The cycle of 75,000 years for third density gives us much time and many incarnations to attempt to learn all of these lessons which have as their ultimate goal the opening of the heart in unconditional love for all.

Since our goal of opening our hearts in unconditional love involves the green-ray chakra, most of the pre-incarnatively programmed circumstances involve opportunities to balance the lower three chakras and exercise them in a polarized way. In general, we will be working to become aware and accepting of our sexual nature, seeking reproduction and survival for ourselves and our species in ways that are self-aware and hopefully influenced by green-ray love. In the orange-ray chakra we will be working with knowing and accepting ourselves as unique individuals with certain eccentricities that we exhibit in our one-on-one relationships: with a parent, a friend, a teacher, a neighbor, et cetera. In the yellow-ray chakra we expand our expression of personal power into the larger group of family, classroom, workplace, and so forth. Eventually it is hope that we also can exercise our will to choose service to self or service to others, bringing this Choice to bear upon the activity of the lower three chakras.

All catalyst that is programmed or drawn to us will be processed beginning with its entry into the red ray and moving upward through the energy body. It will then be our goal in each incarnation to be able to balance those qualities which we expressed so that we may discover and accept that each quality has an antithesis within the deepest portion of our being. In other words, a person need not be a villain or a hero in this lifetime in order to acknowledge that he or she is capable of all things as a microcosm of the Creator.

As we observe ourselves, a good goal is to notice patterns of difficulty or behavior in our lives that may indicate a repeated opportunity for balancing the self. The patterns are related to our karma, the continuing of the actions that are put into motion. Then we take the lesson that we have identified on any particular day and attempt to do the work of self-discovery and self-acceptance. This work can take many forms. Ra recommends contemplation, meditation, and prayer. However, the seeker has many resources available for becoming more self-aware and balanced. Talk therapy is one way to discover and accept more of the self. Writing in a journal, chatting with a friend, reading a self-help book, or working with dreams can all be wonderful ways to get to know one’s full spectrum of beliefs, emotions, motivations, and behaviors. These forms of self-therapy are also ways that we can prepare our natural selves for service to others as we are able to keep our energy body open and functioning smoothly.

This morning I decided to use the garden hose and watering wand to water some of the flowers in the back yard, side yard, and front yard. Since I stopped using the deer repellant spray a lot of the flowers have now been eaten which is not such a big deal this time of year when the growing season is basically over and frost is on its way. So I will probably be watering less and less as time goes on even though our dry spell is now approaching four weeks in length.

This afternoon I made my usual errand run with my first stop being Feeder’s Supply where I picked up four boxes of canned cat food and two bags of kitty litter. Then I was off to Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up some medications, some ice cream, and a cane that I may used after my hip replacement surgery if the walker feels too cumbersome.

Rest In That Peace

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

To this instrument comes light. To each comes light. To each also comes the appearance of darkness, shadow and penumbra.

Jesus the Christ promised that we who comfort would be with each seeker until the end of the age. His promise is being kept most devotedly, most persistently, and most joyfully. The waves of consciousness are moved by tides through which it is not necessary to move if there be that self within which may say, “Peace, be still.”

Allow the morning light to be a symbol to you of the hope and the faith that calms the sea of reaction, distortion and upset. In an ultimate sense, all is well and all will be well.

Rest in that peace and allow the waters to move as they will, teaching, with every tide, one more lesson in love.

We are always with you. We who comfort hold you always in our arms. Become aware of us but know that we shall not change for you the tide, but only comfort you as you make your progress upon the sea of consciousness.

We leave you in the peace and love of Jesus the Christ, both now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, 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, 34.4.

2022-10-08

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 Preparing the Natural Self for Service:

Preparing the Natural Self for Service

Carla’s goals for Chapter 3: “This chapter tracks the Law of One information on how to deal with the natural self, the body and the emotions brought out by our sexuality and personal relationships.”

Is there an unnatural self?

I thought long and hard about what Carla might have meant by the natural self. It is not a term that was ever used during the Ra contact, so I had to add to my process of intellectualization a bit of meditation as well before I arrived at a conclusion which feels like it might contain the basic concepts related to this natural self. When we all come into this world we are born into the bodies of babies that are very simple in structure, and so are our minds and spirits. I also believe that we contain our pre-incarnative programming that sets the stage for our maturation and following the path that we have planned before being born into the world. Ra encapsulated this process beautifully in 48.7:

Entrance into incarnation requires the investment, or activation, of the indigo-ray, or etheric body, for this is the form maker. The young, or small, physical mind/body/spirit complex has the seven energy centers potentiated before the birthing process. There are also analogs in time/space of these energy centers corresponding to the seven energy centers in each of the seven true-color densities. Thus in the microcosm exists all the experience that is prepared. It is as though the infant contains the universe.

This is the natural way for all of us to enter each incarnation. We are full of previous growth patterns that have aligned our energy centers in a unique way, and we have planned the way in which we can further activate and express the nature of our first four energy centers in a myriad of ways. Just as our bodies are very small and almost helpless to begin with, so our minds also must be given experience. As our bodies begin to learn how to crawl, to sit, to stand, and to begin to take steps, just so our minds have the corresponding opportunities to speak basic sounds that turn into words and then sentences. This type of growth begins to deal with concepts of how we are learning to become fully functioning entities. However, when it comes to the spirit Ra suggested that the spirit might have a slightly different process of maturation as Don and Ra spoke of in 92.18:

Questioner: Turning, then, to my analogy—or shall we say, example—of the newborn infant with the undistorted Matrix, this newborn infant has its subconscious veiled from the Matrix. The second archetype, the Potentiator of Mind, is going to act at some time through—I won’t say through the veil, I don’t think that is a very good way of stating it—but the Potentiator of Mind will act to create a condition, and I will use an example of the infant touching a hot object. The hot object we could take as random catalyst. The infant can either leave its hand on the hot object or rapidly remove it. My question is: is the Potentiator of Mind involved at all in this experience and, if so, how?

Ra: I am Ra. The Potentiator of Mind and of Body are both involved in the questing of the infant for new experience. The mind/body/spirit complex which is an infant has one highly developed portion which may be best studied by viewing the Significators of Mind and Body.

You notice we do not include the spirit. That portion of a mind/body/spirit complex is not reliably developed in each and every mind/body/spirit complex. Thusly the infant’s significant self, which is the harvest of biases of all previous incarnational experiences, offers to this infant biases with which to meet new experience.

However, the portion of the infant which may be articulated by the Matrix of the Mind is indeed unfed by experience, and has the bias of reaching for this experience through free will just as intelligent energy, in the kinetic phase, through free will, creates the Logos.

However, at some point this natural self that we all are will be able to utilize its spirit more and more effectively as the infant grows to maturity and, hopefully, will become a conscious seeker of truth. Then it begins the realization of its very nature and purpose in the current life pattern. Its unconscious mind feeds it catalyst that it may then begin to process in a way that is congruent with its pre-incarnative choices.

Now Carla began this chapter with the question: “Is there an unnatural self?” I think that the answer to that question is that there is no unnatural self. However, there are an infinite number of unique natural selves because every person in the universe is unique, although all of us are engaged in the same basic process of coming to know ourselves by balancing our daily catalyst over a long period of time. We spend our entire lifetimes discovering that we are much like the Creator in that we contain all of the thoughts and distortions of thoughts that we perceive in the people and the world around us. As we are able to see all of these facets of ourselves, then our next task is to accept ourselves with all of these facets that, taken together, form our unique gem of beingness. Eventually, it is possible that this process of knowing ourselves and accepting ourselves will enable us to become the Creator. That is the goal of our journey back into unity with the one infinite Creator which may take many lifetimes to accomplish. Fortunately, there is an infinity of time for this process to achieve the goal of becoming the Creator which we all contain within us.

Each incarnation offers us the opportunity to travel further along this path, and so much of that path is concerned with how we utilize our spiritual beliefs in pursuing the outer work of living in the material world. Ideally, we will be able to use our spiritual practices as the foundation of our incarnational experience of living in the outer world and eventually becoming Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of life.

When my natural self was a child my mother and father both worked in a grocery store. Dad was the manager and mom kept the books and also stocked the shelves and ran the cash register. The store was one of a chain of grocery stores in Nebraska which were named “Jack & Jill Grocery Stores.” The home office of this chain was located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was known as the Nash-Finch Company.

When I was thirteen years old I got a Social Security Card and began working in the store as well. As the years went by I came to know the hierarchy of supervisors of the various departments on the state level as well as the higher ups from the home office in Minneapolis. I worked in the produce department and did a good job, got good grades in high school, and it soon became expected that I would go to college and major in Business Administration so that I could then join the Nash-Finch Company as a supervisor in the produce section and begin my climb up the company ladder.

I was a late-bloomer as far as being a spiritual seeker of truth, so this all sounded good to me until I finally had earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Economics. At that point, in 1969, I had become part of the hippie revolution and decided that spending my life earning money in the workaday world just to have all of the amenities of comfort and acceptance felt like a most unnatural way to use my time and energies.

It was at that point that I began to follow an alternative trail that began with going back to college to get a major in Sociology, then veer off that course into the National Teacher Corps Program, as I mentioned in the introduction to this book. Being in Teacher Corps eventually gave me the opportunity to attend the Adventure Trails Survival School, learn Brain Self-Control Therapy and become a conscious seeker of truth. It was there that I was able to activate my indigo-ray energy center which enhanced my spiritual journey and inspired me to move to the woods of central Kentucky and start my own school to teach Brain Self-Control Therapy. In essence, I was transformed from being what felt very unnatural to me—the result of my own enculturation—to a path of seeking which felt like the most appropriate and natural thing in the world for me to do. All along this path of maturation I moved ever closer to seeing service to others as the way that I wanted to live my life.

This morning I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the back yard either into the area behind the garage, in which I am going to practice “leaving the leaves” to enhance the pollinators and allow caterpillars, spiders, snails, spiders, worms, beetles to overwinter and then become food for chipmunks, turtles, birds, and frogs, or I blew them into the area in the other half of the back yard where I mulched them into leaf dust with my big mower.

This afternoon I went into the yard in front of the house and used my backpack blower to blow the leaves there into the parking area beside the street. Then I got my six garbage cans out and was able to get all of these leaves stuffed into them for yard waste pickup next week.

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

October 8

What Is Truth?

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

What is truth? Open your eyes, your mind, and your heart and gaze at truth.

See the air which you breathe, the life-giving air of the body and, yet, also the energetic expression of love, food born in every particle of your air for that soul which so craves the breath of spirit.

Gaze upon that which immediately meets the eye. Dwelling within each atom, each tiny portion of that which you see is truth, the truth of energetic fields which contain in infinite number expressions of the Father.

It is sometimes difficult to see in a worn-out chair or a disreputable-looking human the truth expressed perfectly through each portion of consciousness. Fix your mind first on truth and then on appearances and allow the higher realization to interpret for you the surface pictures of an unkind world. We say unkind and so it looks, yet know that all will be well in the harmonious outworking of each appearance, so the truth is continually being uncovered by each growing spirit.

We leave you in the peace which is above process and which informs each process, 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.

2022-10-07

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 comes from the section on The Positive Harvest:

The Positive Harvest

One of the reasons Ra contacted our group in 1981, was that our planet Earth is near the end of the 75,000-year cycle of third density, and the harvest or graduation of souls into the fourth density of love and understanding is now underway. Though we do not know exactly how long this harvest will take, we do know that every person who passes from life now is given the opportunity to walk into the light to have its violet ray assessed to see whether it is able to welcome and enjoy the vibrations of the fourth density. The violet ray of each person is what Ra called the “true identity of the person” because it shows which energy centers are activated as well as the balance between them. The violet ray, in short, reveals whether a person has been able to achieve the 51 percent service-to-others level of vibration.

In previous sessions Ra had said that after the harvest was complete that Earth’s third-density yellow ray will no longer be activated but will go into potentiation for an indefinite period of time. In the question below Don asked Ra what the gains and losses would be as our Earth’s green ray is activated and the yellow ray goes into potentiation.

63.8 Questioner: From last session, I would like to continue with a few questions about the fact that in fourth density, red, orange, and green energies will be activated; yellow, blue, etc., being in potentiation. Right now you say we have green energies activated. They have been activated for the last 45 years. I am wondering about the transition through this period, so that the green is totally activated, and the yellow is in potentiation. What will we lose as the yellow goes from activation into potentiation, and what will we gain as the green comes into total activation, and what is that process?

Ra: I am Ra. It is misleading to speak of gains and losses when dealing with the subject of the cycle’s ending and the green-ray cycle beginning upon your sphere. It is to be kept in the forefront of the faculties of intelligence that there is One Creation in which there is no loss. There are progressive cycles for experiential use by entities. We may now address your query.

As the green-ray cycle or the density of love and understanding begins to take shape the yellow-ray plane or Earth, which you now enjoy in your dance, will cease to be inhabited for some period of your space/time as the space/time necessary for fourth-density entities to learn their ability to shield their density from that of third is learned. After this period there will come a time when third density may again cycle on the yellow-ray sphere.

Meanwhile there is another sphere, congruent to a great extent with yellow ray, forming. This fourth-density sphere coexists with first, second, and third. It is of a denser nature due to the rotational core atomic aspects of its material. We have discussed this subject with you.

The fourth-density entities which incarnate at this space/time are fourth density, in the view of experience, but are incarnating in less dense vehicles due to desire to experience and aid in the birth of fourth density upon this plane.

You may note that fourth-density entities have a great abundance of compassion.

Ra was quick to assure Don that there would be no losses as Earth makes the transition to the fourth density. Ra also said that the reason that the yellow-ray vibration of our third density would go into potentiation was to give the new fourth-density population of Earth the time necessary to learn how to become invisible to third-density entities. The reason that this is necessary is that third density is the only density that utilizes the veil of forgetting. Our basic job in the third density is to make The Choice of positive or negative polarity, and the rest of the work in the higher densities proceeds according to this Choice made here. The veil makes polarization more efficient by hiding the true nature of creation as being one of unity, love, light, and joy with a progression of souls into higher densities.

Hiding the true nature of creation from third-density entities gives them a chance to nurture that deep inner feeling that such a unified creation and spiritual progression might really exist. The intense seeking produced by this inner intuition enhances the polarization of the consciousness of the seeker of truth. If third-density entities could see Earth’s new fourth-density population, this would give the third-density entities proof that their deep inner feelings were true. Then they would be in somewhat of the same condition as the third-density entities were before there was a veil of forgetting. They had to repeat third density many times because there would be no reason “to serve for love or benefit from fear”. It would be an infringement upon the free will of the third-density entities to know that higher densities and entities existed. Ra gave a good example of this situation in the following quote:

82.22 Questioner: Then since the only possibility at this particular time, as I see it, was a polarization for service to others, I must assume from what you said that even though all were aware of this service-to-others necessity they were unable to achieve it. What was the configuration of mind of the mind/body/spirit complexes at that time? Were they aware of the necessity for the polarization or unaware of it? And if so, why did they have such a difficult time serving others to the extent necessary for graduation since this was the only polarity possible?

Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, the tendency of those who are divinely happy, as you call this distortion, to have little urge to alter, or better, their condition. Such is the result of the mind/body/spirit which is not complex.

There is the possibility of love of other-selves and service to other-selves, but there is the overwhelming awareness of the Creator in the self. The connection with the Creator is that of the umbilical cord. The security is total. Therefore, no love is terribly important; no pain terribly frightening; no effort, therefore, is made to serve for love or to benefit from fear.

Ra also said that there were entities incarnating now in our third density who had already made the graduation into the fourth density but who were incarnating early in order to be of service to Earth’s population as it goes through the last days of third density with the hope of making the harvest. Ra said that they were incarnating in “less dense” bodies in the strictly physical sense (63.8) which means that if they had gone on into the fourth density after their graduation, they would have had a body more densely packed with light than the bodies they incarnate in on Earth now to help with the Harvest. In the following quote Don asked Ra about these entities.

63.15 Questioner: Would the purpose in transitioning to Earth prior to the complete changeover then be for the experience to be gained here during the harvesting process?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. These entities are not wanderers in the sense that this planetary sphere is their fourth-density home planet. However, the experience of this service is earned only by those harvested third-density entities which have demonstrated a great deal of orientation towards service to others. It is a privilege to be allowed this early an incarnation as there is much experiential catalyst in service to other-selves at this harvesting.”

These entities, who are incarnating early in their fourth-density experience, were also referred to by Ra as having “doubly-activated bodies.” That means that both their third-density, yellow-ray bodies and their fourth-density, green-ray bodies are in activation. Ra discussed these entities in 63.14:

 Questioner: You are saying, then, that for the transition from third to fourth density for one of the entities with doubly activated bodies, in order to make the transition, the third-density body will go through the process of what we call death. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The third and fourth, combination, density’s body will die according to the necessity of third-density mind/body/spirit-complex distortions.

We may respond to the heart of your questioning by noting that the purpose of such combined activation of mind/body/spirit complexes is that such entities, to some extent, consciously are aware of those fourth-density understandings which third density is unable to remember due to the forgetting. Thus fourth-density experience may be begun with the added attraction, to an entity oriented towards service to others, of dwelling in a troubled third-density environment and offering its love and compassion.

Ra also said that it was “a privilege to be allowed this early an incarnation as there is much experiential catalyst in service to other-selves at this harvesting.”What Ra was talking about is that on Earth at this time there is a lot of difficulty with the harvest as Earth’s population is experiencing the chaos of anger, separation, confusion, and disillusionment. These difficulties provide the new fourth-density entities—and all entities who wish to be of service to others—a great opportunity to do so. Such difficulties are a call to all entities who wish to be of service, including the Confederation which has been answering this call for the last few decades by offering spiritual information through channeling, inspirational dreams, and meditative guidance. Ra discussed this situation in the following quote:

14.18 Questioner: Then for the last 2,300 years you have been actively working to create as large a harvest as possible at the end of the total 75,000-year cycle. Can you state with respect to the Law of One why you do this, just as a statement of your reasons for this?

Ra: I am Ra. I speak for the social memory complex termed Ra. We came among you to aid you. Our efforts in service were perverted. Our desire then is to eliminate, as far as possible, the distortions caused by those misreading our information and guidance.

The general cause of service such as the Confederation offers is that of the primal distortion of the Law of One, which is service. The One Being of the creation is like unto a body, if you will accept this third-density analogy. Would we ignore a pain in the leg? A bruise upon the skin? A cut which is festering? No. There is no ignoring a call. We, the entities of sorrow, choose as our service the attempt to heal the sorrow which we are calling analogous to the pains of a physical body complex distortion.

Don asked Ra more about the conditions of harvest and how it would work in his next question:

Questioner: I was wondering if there is a supervision over the harvest, and if so, why this supervision is necessary, and how it works since an entity’s harvestability is the violet ray? Is it necessary for entities to supervise the harvest, or is it automatic? Could you answer this please?”

I am Ra. In time of harvest there are always harvesters. The fruit is formed as it will be, but there is some supervision necessary to ensure that this bounty is placed as it should be, without the bruise or the blemish.

There are those of three levels watching over harvest.

The first level is planetary and that which may be called angelic. This type of guardian includes the mind/body/spirit complex totality or higher self of an entity and those inner plane entities which have been attracted to this entity through its inner seeking.

The second class of those who ward this process are those of the Confederation who have the honor/duty of standing in the small places at the edge of the steps of light/love so that those entities being harvested will not, no matter how confused or unable to make contact with their higher self, stumble and fall away for any reason other than the strength of the light. These Confederation entities catch those who stumble and set them aright so that they may continue into the light.

The third group watching over this process is that group you call the Guardians. This group is from the octave above our own and serves in this manner as light-bringers. These Guardians provide the precise emissions of light/love in exquisitely fastidious disseminations of discrimination so that the precise light/love vibration of each entity may be ascertained.

Thus the harvest is automatic in that those harvested will respond according to that which is unchangeable during harvest. That is the violet-ray emanation. However, these helpers are around to ensure a proper harvesting so that each entity may have the fullest opportunity to express its violet-ray selfhood. Ra, 51.1

Upon the death of the body, every entity from planet Earth will go through a process of walking into the light to have its violet-ray chakra assessed regarding its harvestability. In a more practical sense this may be seen as each entity continuing its walk into the light until the light is too glaring, and the entity can go no further. At that point the entity will have either walked into fourth-density light, which signals its graduation, or it will have stopped short of fourth-density light, which means that it will need to repeat the third-density cycle on another third-density planet.

In either case, the entity will then be met by the guides or guardians which have aided it in the just completed incarnation: the higher self, the mind/body/spirit complex totality, or one of its personal guides from the inner planes of Earth. They will aid it in the review and healing of the incarnation before the entity then is moved by its indigo-ray body, the form-maker, to the appropriate density for its next incarnation.

It is unknown whether entities are still able to return to Earth for more third-density incarnations at this time, or whether they must go to another third-density planet since Earth itself now enjoys the metaphysical light of the fourth density vibration. What we do know from Ra is that the population’s experience of the fourth-density environment is still quite mixed due to individual readiness to appreciate this light. This planet is not yet the harmonious place it will become when all third-density beings have incarnated elsewhere for a time, and fourth-density beings can work in a deeply loving and cooperative way without the wide array of conflicting attitudes now present.

Each entity which has been harvested into the fourth density of love and understanding will then begin the formation of the social memory complex where it will blend all of its experiences from every incarnation it has ever had with those experiences of each other entity that has made the Harvest. This blending of memory will create a huge library of information that will be available to the entire social memory complex as it determines its means of being of service to others from its position within the fourth density. The fourth, fifth, and sixth densities will allow all beings to refine and intensify their third-density Choice of polarity.

Just as the negatively-oriented social memory complexes may join the Orion group in their pursuit of enhancing their ability to serve themselves, positive social memory complexes have the opportunity to join the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator as a means of increasing their ability to be of service to others. This Confederation includes social memory complexes from fourth, fifth, and sixth density. Social memory complexes in our area of the cosmos are admitted to the Confederation by another group called the Council of Saturn, which is located within the rings of the planet, Saturn. There are nine active members of this Council that oversee the admission of social memory complexes to the Confederation as noted here:

“The Council operates by means of, what you would call, telepathic contact with the oneness or unity of the nine, the distortions blending harmoniously so that the Law of One prevails with ease. When a need for thought is present, the Council retains the distortion-complex of this need, balancing it as described, and then recommends what it considers as appropriate action. This includes: one, the duty of admitting social memory complexes to the Confederation […].” Ra, 7.9

As members of the Confederation, each being within Earth’s new fourth-density social memory complex will be able to communicate telepathically with the others to determine the types of service that the group may offer to third-density populations who call for assistance in their own evolutionary process. As graduates of the third density this social memory complex will be well aware of the sorrows of seeming separation that are likely to be experienced under the veil of forgetting. Each member will have its heart chakra full of unconditional love and will be ready to beam that love to any who call for it. In this way of being of service to others, the social memory complex will continue its journey of seeking union with the One Infinite Creator who lives within all beings.

Questioner: Thank you. Is it possible for you to give a small description of the conditions [in] fourth density?

Ra: I am Ra. We ask you to consider as we speak that there are no words for positively describing fourth density. We can only explain what is not and approximate what is. Beyond fourth density our ability grows more limited still until we become without words.

That which fourth density is not: it is not of words, unless chosen. It is not of heavy chemical vehicles for body complex activities. It is not of disharmony within self. It is not of disharmony within peoples. It is not within limits of possibility to cause disharmony in any way.

Approximations of positive statements: it is a plane of a type of bipedal vehicle which is much denser and more full of life; it is a plane wherein one is aware of the thoughts of other-selves; it is a plane where one is aware of the vibrations of other-selves; it is a plane of compassion and understanding of the sorrows of third density; it is a plane striving towards wisdom or light; it is a plane wherein individual differences are pronounced although automatically harmonized by group consensus. Ra, 16.50

This morning I used a planting knife to pull the English ivy vines off of the foundation of the house on each of its four sides and then put all the vines into a garbage can for yard waste pickup next week.

This afternoon I used the suction tube on my vacuum cleaner to clean the vent tubing that goes from the back of the clothes dryer to the vent outside. I do this twice a year, and it is always good to get it done because it is so tricky to detach the vent tubing from the back of the dryer and the vent tubing that goes to the outside.

What Is The Holy Spirit?

I greet you in the full consciousness of love. We are those of the spirit of the living Christ.

To this instrument’s ears have come questions about who we really are. And perhaps it is good to gaze upon the identity of the Holy Spirit. We do not call ourselves by that name, we who serve as the very spirit and energy of the principle of divine love which is the love of Christ. What we are overshadows who we are.

Yet we will say that we are un-descended into the planes of which you have experience. We have experienced incarnations continuously, for light does not die. We are, therefore, that power of the Logos, which is love, which is active and follows the call for the presence of the full consciousness of love. We hope we are to that seeking soul a mirror made of love.

Upon one person the effect of that mirror may be no action but only a gradual change in consciousness which manifests to the world profoundly in the end, though no action was taken, but only the change of heart.

To another, whose time to hear and do has come, the spirit offers that mirror in which is seen the possibilities wherein love may enlarge, enable, enliven and bless manifestations, your own or another’s, so that out of poverty of mind, spirit, supply or action the full consciousness of love may work.

We, like the wind, are with all who seek the spirit, with all who seek the Christ. Think of us as principles, as living flames which embody love. Then gaze in our mirror. See the love within yourself. And be, in turn, the spirit of Christ in the world.

We leave you in peace, not necessarily the peace to rest but the peace which love unspeakable brings, 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.

2022-10-06

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the quote from 102 is from the section on the Basic attitude of unconditional love:

Basic attitude of unconditional love

“The answer to what love is lies within you, now. For your nature is love. Love created you and you are a spark of that infinite love. In many ways, spiritual evolution is a process of allowing the real you to come out of all the wrappings and cultural training and old habit. How you have been beaten down by what others have told you, how others have seen you, and so forth! Casting aside assumed wisdom is sometimes a very difficult and lengthy process. But the truth is speaking within you now; love is powerful within you now. So turn your ears inward to the silence of that heart within and listen for the footsteps of the One Who comes in love.” Q’uo, November 28, 2004

In this third-density illusion each of us serves in a preferred way that ultimate yields harvestability. On the positive path, harvestability results from opening one’s heart in unconditional love in at least fifty-one percent of our interactions with others. In practical terms and in metaphysical terms what this means is that we need to discover that force of love which is within us lying dormant, for the most part. This is the force of Love which has created us and which seeks ever to express Itself through our minds, bodies, and spirits as a river of love engulfing our experiences with everyone around us.

Every time that we are able to give this unconditional love to any other being with whom we interact, we are, in effect, making The Choice of service to others for the first time. It is like a baby being born into our lives that will live and grow into maturity by living off of the beauty, power, and inner nourishment of the love that is flowing out from our hearts to all around us. This truly is the real us, the real essence of what we are created of, that expresses itself as unconditional love. We are born anew in each expression of unconditional love that we share with another person.

We exist in a cultural milieu that does not seem to value unconditional love. Our culture puts conditions on love. We are loved if we behave as is expected, if we seek the same goals of money, security, approval, etc. And when we do not express the expected values and beliefs we are harassed until we do. And if we don’t give in to such cultural conditioning then we become an outcast that must find its own way as a renegade. As Players on the Enhanced Game Board we then have the opportunity to move to the beat of our own drum, or in this case the beating of our own heart of hearts: unconditional love. We keep this knowing of the rightness of unconditional love alive within our being because we know it is why we are here on Earth at this time.

Eventually, if we continue to live what our hearts tell us to do we will be able to do as Q’uo says, and “turn your ears inward to the silence of that heart within and listen for the footsteps of the One Who comes in love.”That One is the Creator that loves us unconditionally and which offers more and more of Its love to us as we go within to seek unconditional love for ourselves, for others, and for the world around us.

When you are good company to yourself, you have a feeling of being far more able to move through the energies that you are experiencing. You are not helpless. You are not a victim. You are an entity observing the sweep of a tremendous storm that is moving through your emotions and your chakras. Your job is to observe and experience, not to judge and not to change anything. As you observe yourself from a standpoint of unconditional love, you will begin to self-correct the extreme behavior because you will have been able to interrupt the old pattern that acted as a trigger for the despair. We cannot say what that pattern is. It is different for each entity and in each situation. We simply encourage you to note carefully those moments when extreme feelings are triggered.” Q’uo, October 8, 2006

Here, Q’uo gives us a way to deal with inner adversity that could devastate anyone less than a Player on the Enhanced Game Board. The use of unconditional love on ourselves is a way to accept ourselves when we seem unacceptable. As Players we are wise to take Q’uo’s advice and simply observe and experience our attempts at being of service. In this observation without judgment, we see ourselves as children of the One Creator who are seeking ways to know ourselves as such, when we seem to have fallen short of being able to live up to our own high standards of how to serve others. Players frequently have such high standards that they cannot seem to do else but fall short.

This is a challenge often experienced by positive seekers, whose goal it is to accept the self even when falling short of perfect love. Along both the positive and the negative path, the practice of self-love strengthens the will and faith, which in turn increases ones’ potential for service. But, for the positively-oriented entity, the choice to love oneself is a means of increasing one’s capacity to love all.

“Then take a few moments to rest in the consciousness of yourself in its larger sense. For you have, when you pass the first three chakras and move into the heart, moved from the outer personality into the inner truth, from space/time into time/space and from judgment into redemption or forgiveness. For you have become a larger you. The “I” that is the first person singular of you is significantly changed in the atmosphere and the sanctity of the open heart. When you feel that you are beginning to vibrate with unconditional love, you have then achieved that expanded awareness of the truth of who you are. Resting, then, in this truth, it is now safe for you to do your work in consciousness.

Your first work in consciousness is to come into open communication with yourself. You have put judgment away. That is not part of your personality any more. You have put doubt away. You are dwelling as a citizen of eternity. Your possibilities have become infinite. The world has dropped away in terms of consensus reality and you are living at this moment, doing this work in time/space and in the company of all who have gone before you, living a life in faith, dwelling in the sacred temple of the open heart. Here you are never alone. The Creator Itself holds you in an embrace that is nearer to you than your breathing, closer to you than your body. If you need to—and it is sometimes necessary to realize that this is all you need and all you can bear—crawl into the lap of that great entity that is the Creator, however you may see this entity—mother, father, great principle. Crawl into this loving lap and rest. Do no more than that if this is what you need. Let angels surround you. Let the love that is completely unconditional, that created you and sustains you, now rock you and sing to you and sleep the sleep of one who is loved as a child is loved by its mother.” Q’uo, March 4, 2005

Q’uo inspires us to clear our first three energy centers to the extent that the love/light of the One Creator can propel us into our own open hearts. Here we shall find the truth of our being: unconditional love for everyone—including ourselves—and everything. This is the foundation stone of our being and of our journey through this third-density illusion of separation. We now see the truth of the Creator existing within all entities and within every iota of the creation. We no longer have any judgement or doubts about ourselves or anyone else because we know that the unconditional love of the One Creator has made us all in Its own image.

As we tabernacle more and more frequently and deeply with the One Creator within us we become the Creator ourselves. No longer are we just Players on the Enhanced Game Board of life. We are the Game. We are the Love. We are the One. This is a knowing that encompasses every bit of our consciousness and our being. There is nowhere within ourselves that we can look and not see unconditional love for all. Within this true home we live and move and have our being at all times, whether we are conscious of this truth or not. If our incarnational experience ever becomes rocky or turbulent we can always retire once again to this inner sanctum of our open heart to realize the illusion of all things. More importantly, we also will come to realize that the only experience that is not illusion is that of the One who resides within us and flows out from us as unconditional love.

This morning I had an appointment with my rheumatologist to go over my arthritic condition in general and specifically regarding the hip replacement surgery that is coming up in just a little over two weeks. She has been suggesting this type of surgery for some time, but for the last year I have been relying on speed walks and special stretching exercises to relieve the pain in my hip. Now we both are glad that I have made the decision to have the surgery.

This afternoon I noticed that the English ivy is once again beginning to climb some areas of the house on three different sides, so I attempted to trim it off the house with my trimmer, but twice the trimmer line broke off inside the trimmer. Both times I was able to take the trimmer head off and reassert the line through the two opposite holes in the trimmer head. However, it looks like I will need to find another way to get the ivy off tomorrow.

Harness The Power Of Consciousness

Greetings in the consciousness of Christ. I am of the principle of the consciousness of the love of Christ in the vibration which comforts this child. Greetings and peace to you!

My children, what mighty energies move at this moment within your consciousness! What tremendous raw material consciousness truly is!

To what use do you put this great resource this day? Shall you work on behalf of those things which do not offer life, or shall you turn to the service of that which is life-giving?

For in every situation there is a response which creates the optimal amount of service grounded in love. If you are preparing to plod through a day that does not feel alive to you, first find our vibration, that the breath of spirit may enliven those things which are dead in your perception. For all things are alive in the consciousness of love.

Peace be with you this day and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
