The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 5:

The question today has to do with the grid of our planet as we are moving from third into fourth density. We are assuming that there are points on this grid that are in need of some attention, some sort of focusing energy which we would like to be able to do in our meditative state and maybe even in general; just the way we are able to live our lives to produce compassion, or love, or mercy, or forgiveness in our daily round of activities. We would like Q’uo to give us some sort of an idea about how we might be able to be of service in this respect: in strengthening the grid, the road to fourth density from where we are in our daily round of activities in dealing with the catalyst of the day, with our own distortions, with our desire to serve and our feeling like sometimes it’s just too much.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We consider ourselves to be those who are part of what this instrument’s teacher calls the godhead principle, and we speak to that part of you which has called us here, that part of you which is also the godhead principle. It is in the sympathetic vibration of that likeness of focus and polarity that we link and find ourselves in this most agreeable and blessed condition of sharing this time of seeking with you. We thank you for the privilege of being called and for the careful way in which our nature was defined by the parameters of the tuning and challenging of this instrument. We greatly appreciate the care being taken with the tuning of the connection to enable us to experience clear communication with this particular, shall we say, biological instrument; one of the more complicated wind instruments, shall we say, being the human bodily instrument. In this case, the instrument is also the composer of the song which creates a fascinating context for us to work within in shaping these awkward bundles which are called words, to attempt to speak of concepts which exceed the limit of any words. We ask only that each take what seems sensible and helpful, from those thoughts we share, and leave the rest behind, for we are not those who are in authority but rather those who share experiences as your neighbors and co-creators.

We are glad this day to speak with you concerning the metaphysical road-building in which this particular instrument and the one known as Jim have been much interested in late months, as the experience of entering fully into the twenty first century and dealing with the weight of previously known information has brought these two entities to a condition of perception at this juncture which seems to indicate work in the direction of this metaphysical roadbuilding.

Wewould first comment upon the concept of time, for much of what we say has a certain timbre which can create sense only within a limited context, that being the illusory context of space/time. The metaphysical universe is not the space/time universe, and so, consequently, a query concerning the physical aspects of metaphysical work draws a response which must straddle both space/time and time/space considerations. The outer activism which is the interest of this instrument, especially, is dependent upon a network of information and data concerning space/time projections of time/space events. If one focuses upon the space/time continuum and its illusory march of progress, shall we say, the energies of metaphysical structure recede, and the more the effort is made to interact with space/time events and space/time values, the less direct will be the effect of such work upon the time/space or metaphysical continuum, which is a consideration when one is attempting to connect space/time to time/space, insofar as each entity involved is capable of embodying that linkage.

In this regard, we would state our observation that fear and fear-based concern is easily the most challenging foe that stands before the faithful warrior of Light at this juncture. We do not criticize or judge entities for their fear-based responses to the space/time events which unfold as part of the consensus reality of your illusion. There certainly would appear to be concerning and substantial issues which indicate almost certain disaster. From our viewpoint as those observing this global culture from the outside in, we would state another observation, that being that, although it may have escaped your notice, there have been few years in recorded history in which there was not disaster, catastrophe, and war. There also has not been a time within your recorded history when there has not been a wide range of options for solving all perceived problems. That which appears to be worthy of great fear on another level is precisely that which may be embraced with the most surety, because it is in challenging and novel times that one begins, within incarnation, to learn about the self and to be surprised, encouraged, invigorated, and renewed by the experiences one has in learning of the depths of the self, the self’s emotions, and the self’s hopes and dreams.

Is it hunger that is feared? Then, when that time of hunger comes, take what little that you have and give it away to the common good, and you will find that you can create miracles of loaves and fishes. Do you fear the cold? Take heart, and when you are cold, move to the company of others who are also cold and embrace them, and together you may live through the night and know the heart of another. Do you fear having nothing? Take heart, for truly all entities possess nothing, but merely share that which comes their way, that which has been allowed to come their way by circumstance, by pre-incarnational request and by the desire to learn. Do you fear not having enough? Embrace thankfulness and gratitude and count the blessings of what tiny things you may have in the face of deprivation, and you will find yourself endlessly giving thanks.

For once the eyes of gratitude, of thankfulness, have been opened, it may more and more easily be seen that all circumstances are those for which one may give thanks with a true, honest, and cheerful heart, for insofar as circumstances seem difficult, just so far shall they later be revealed as the healers of those deeply buried sores that must be lanced. Each entity has placed in its own path those things which look remarkably like stumbling blocks and sources of great suffering, and they can be seen that way with perfect logic and sanity. We do not suggest that losing fear is a logical process; we suggest rather that the way the process of living has its impact upon a given soul is dependent upon that soul’s point of view and attitude. We are suggesting that the point of view or attitude is powerful and central to the goal of becoming a working crystal which is indeed sending blessed and transmuted Light received from the infinite Creator by personal intention into the planetary fourth-density/third-density connection, creating the lighting up of the fourth-density grid.

The group question for this session was: “We would like Q’uo to give us some sort of an idea about how we might be able to be of service in this respect: in strengthening the grid, the road to fourth density from where we are in our daily round of activities in dealing with the catalyst of the day, with our own distortions, with our desire to serve and our feeling like sometimes it’s just too much.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they were glad to speak about metaphysical road-building that Carla and Jim had been working with lately as a means of entering fully into the twenty-first century to build upon previous information they had gathered on this topic. Q’uo continued by saying that they wanted to comment on the concept of space/time because the metaphysical universe is not the space/time universe, and a question about the physical nature of metaphysical work requires that the answer include both space/time and time/space considerations because as more effort is made to interact with space/time events and space/time values, the less direct will be the effect of such work upon the time/space or metaphysical continuum which must be taken into consideration when one is attempting to connect space/time to time/space, as each of us of expressing that linkage. Q’uo went on to say that fear-based concern is the most challenging foe that stands before the faithful warrior of Light at this time, but they did not judge people for their fear-based responses to the space/time events which are part of the consensus reality of our illusion even though there were concerning issues which indicate almost certain disaster in the future. Then Q’uo said that in observing our global cultures that throughout the history of Earth there were few years when there was not a disaster of some kind as well as options for solving all of these problems so that it could be said that these disasters can be embraced on a higher level with surety because challenging times within our incarnations give us the opportunity to learn more about ourself and to be encouraged by these experiences that we have in learning the depths of our self, our emotions, and our dreams.  Now Q’uo asked: “Is it hunger that is feared? Then, when that time of hunger comes, take what little that you have and give it away to the common good, and you will find that you can create miracles of loaves and fishes. Do you fear the cold? Take heart, and when you are cold, move to the company of others who are also cold and embrace them, and together you may live through the night and know the heart of another. Do you fear having nothing? Take heart, for truly all entities possess nothing, but merely share that which comes their way, that which has been allowed to come their way by circumstance, by pre-incarnational request and by the desire to learn. Do you fear not having enough? Embrace thankfulness and gratitude and count the blessings of what tiny things you may have in the face of deprivation, and you will find yourself endlessly giving thanks.” Q’uo said that when our eyes of gratitude and thankfulness have been opened we can see that all experiences are those for which we can be grateful for with a cheerful heart so that later we can see that they will be revealed as the healers of our deeply buried sores that must be lanced because each of us has placed in our path those things which look like sources of great suffering, and Q’uo suggested that the way the process of living has its impact upon our soul depends upon our attitude which is central to our goal of working as a crystal which can send the transmuted Light of the Creator by our personal intention into the planetary fourth-density/third-density connection and lighting up the fourth-density grid. On January 9, 2006, Q’uo spoke of the value of gratitude and thankfulness:

But when those times come for you, when you have moments of clarity, find the discipline, and remember to dwell in thankfulness for the gifts that you have received. As you dwell in gratitude and thankfulness, you create an atmosphere or an environment within your electrical body, within your chakra system, as this instrument would say, that encourages further awareness. And just like your Earth, you are an ever-expanding organism. However, you are expanding into the metaphysical realm, rather than into the physical realm.

Losing fear is therefore a tremendous and powerful resource to pursue. The ways of losing fear often have to do with more and more becoming aware of how fear has embedded its trigger points within the network of antennae which your personal structure of perceptive priorities presents to you: first, second, third, fourth and so on. A great deal of what is gained from the input of data into the mind and the consciousness has to do with how items are prioritized in the consciousness. The process of perception is far other than the way it seems, entities neither hearing with their ears nor seeing with their eyes, but rather forming a digitized information grid from not only the present moment grid but previously organized grids of expectations. Changing the expectation grid of one’s prioritizing software, shall we say, changes the information package that one receives from oneself as it inputs the data.

In a way, we are speaking very mechanically and yet the mind works along logical, mechanical, and habitual routes, taking shortcuts when it can once it has decided upon the priorities. Moving into the prioritizing mechanisms within the self is deep work and takes a good deal of self-awareness that can usually be achieved only through time. Consequently, this is a long-term goal, for fear is not an absence of love; it is not what is left over when love is ended. Fear is the dark side of love. Fear has its legitimacy and must indeed be embraced within the self and asked to avail its gifts to the use of the Light. Fear becomes courage when the fear is faced, and the wolf that has caused the fear, rather than being fled or being slain, is invited into the heart to be loved, understood, accepted, and charmed.

We ask you to become storytellers to yourselves, telling yourself the story of the hero or the heroine that you are, the warrior of Light who makes so many mistakes and must iron its costume daily, and yet somehow, though the costume is baggy and the efforts are unavailing, this story of the self moves on as one of the fighter that will not quit but never fights against but only for. Gaze upon those fear reactions and ask your most intelligent and clever self what creative things that you can do to target, come to understand, and come to have sympathy for each direction of fear-based thought; not rooting it out, not judging the self for fear, but having compassion upon the entity that is involved in a flesh, blood, and bone illusion.

Each entity will perish from the third-density experience. This source of fear is, shall we say, the parent of all other fears, that fear of ceasing to be. We would ask through faith that the entity posit to itself whether it is worthwhile to fear death or whether it might not be more skillful to see the inevitability of that, and rather than shrinking from that inevitability, to turn that story from that fear of death to the love of each and every day and hour that remains to you. Time, in terms of space/time, is an illusion, yet it is within this illusion that each of you dwells; it is within this incarnation that each of you now acts; and within your continuum and your illusion it is indeed a very intense time of transformation and change for the planet upon which you live. Consequently, there are indeed aspects of the metaphysical transformation of the planet’s population and its very global entity that poke up rather abruptly as mountains on the topography of the present time and space. Many catastrophes have already been seen of the natural kind and of the, shall we say, human, or political kind, and you may see that these forces and energies become more sharply delineated, more clarified and more obvious.

Then Q’uo said that losing fear is powerful resource to pursue,  and a great deal of what we gain from the input of data into our mind and consciousness has to do with how we prioritize what we perceive, which does not involve hearing with our ears or seeing with our eyes, but involves forming a digitized grid of information from the present moment and also previously organized grids of our expectations, and changing the expectation grid of our prioritizing software changes the information that we receive from ourself as we input the data. Q’uo went on to say that they were speaking very mechanically because our mind works along logical and mechanical ways and takes shortcuts when it can after it has decided upon its priorities, and moving into the prioritizing mechanisms within our self is deep work that takes a good deal of self-awareness that we can achieve only as a long-term goal because fear is not an absence of love; fear is the dark side of love, and we must embrace it within ourself and ask it to use its gifts to the sharing of the Light so that our fear becomes courage when it is faced, and the wolf that has caused us fear, rather than being slain, is invited into our heart to be loved and understood. Q’uo continued by asking us to tell ourself the story of the hero or the heroine that we are, the warrior of Light who makes so many mistakes, but this story of ourself moves on as the fighter that will not quit but never fights against but only for, so we should look at our fear reactions and ask ourself what creative things we can do to understand and have sympathy for each of our fear-based thoughts; not judging ourself for them but having compassion upon ourselves because we are involved in a flesh, blood, and bone illusion. Now Q’uo said each of us will perish from the third-density experience, and this is the greatest of all of our fears, so Q’uo suggested that we ask ourself whether fearing death is worthwhile or whether it might more skillful to move from the fear of death to the love of each hour that remains for us because space/time is an illusion, and it is within this illusion that each of us dwells; that each of us acts; and within our illusion it is an intense time of transformation for the planet upon which live, so Q’uo said that: “there are indeed aspects of the metaphysical transformation of the planet’s population and its very global entity that poke up rather abruptly as mountains on the topography of the present time and space. Many catastrophes have already been seen of the natural kind and of the, shall we say, human, or political kind, and you may see that these forces and energies become more sharply delineated, more clarified and more obvious. On May 25, 2019, Q’uo spoke of various kinds of catastrophes and how they affect us and our planet:

The difficulty with the delivery of the new fourth-density planet and its population comes not from either the planet or the fourth-density potential population, but from those entities that are engaged in disharmony and bellicosity of one nature or another, creations of disharmony, disease, confusion, and agitation. There is much division between the various cultures, entities within cultures, and entities within families, that there is the possibility of further enhancement of this disharmonious relationship, so that the warring factions of one group pitted against another could potentially cause difficulties of not only the mental, psychic, and physical nature, but of the potential for planetary catastrophes that are well-documented within the history of your planetary experience. For there have been thousands of years of the warring efforts of many peoples that has embedded the anger of separation within the crust of the planet, so that there is the need at this time to release this heat of anger in a controlled fashion, so that there is necessarily a finite amount of heat that is released at any one time, thus reducing the possibility of planetary annihilation.

There is much difficulty at this time, as you are aware, in the various divisions that exist within the cultures of your planet, so that this birth is occurring in an environment of great angst and hostility that must needs be dealt with in one fashion or another by those entities that are experiencing such disharmony.

It is hoped that through the efforts of your adepts, of your wanderers, and of those Confederation entities that send Love and Light to your planetary sphere, that these efforts at reducing the disharmony may indeed do so, and allow the birth of this planet to occur along with its population in a less difficult situation, shall we say.

Embrace this time as a time when those who are steadfast shall be those who are able to function as Light transducers, keeping the energy moving into that grid which is made up of Love. When an entity’s heart has been able to relax and free itself from fear and from the need to protect, it becomes soft, and fertile, and yeasty with the food needed for the seeds of Love to blossom into those beanstalks that truly do constitute a ladder between earth and heaven. Each is aware of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. This entity gave away its cows in exchange for magical seeds, and the entity came home and planted these seeds and grew itself a beanstalk that reached into another world. It is having the faith, in very non-physical ways, to sell the cows that gives to the Light worker the ability to grow beanstalks between third density and fourth. The beanstalk is a seed of faith, and each of you is one who gently and sometimes unknowingly cradles that seed. When you birth it, that is the beginning of the self as an impersonal portion of the Godhead principle. When one can see oneself as, shall we say, a priestly or a magical figure, one then is able to move from a metaphysical position, from a position of embracing time/space and time/space values. This is the other side of releasing fear; that is, the discipline of continuing in remembrance of Love, continuing in remembrance of who the self is, continuing in remembrance of why the entity is here.

We would close this discussion or, shall we say, this primary discussion by touching upon those interests that this instrument has in more specific details of ways to have organization come to a physical effort to support the concept of helping the fourth-density or Christ grid become stronger, helping the connection between this world and the next to solidify. You may tell from the balance of our cosmic sermonette that most of the work has to do with state of mind, for Love and all of the energetic essences which underlie and create your space/time reality have to do with the energies of Love, those energies which created you and which you now can focus as co-Creators, allowing your will and your desire to direct those healing and infinitely beneficial energies of unconditional Love that flow through each entity ceaselessly from the Creator. This state of mind is always the choice of the entity and indeed constitutes the greatest and most continual choice of the incarnation. Where shall the thoughts settle down? In love or in fear?

When one sees the self in fear, do not abandon the self, do not correct the self, but sit with the self and look at the fear. Let it be. Let it wash over and through one seeing the self as permeable, as healable, as fallible but also as a shining hero dealing with the most amazing adversity. This is your story; we ask you to stick to it; we ask you to think well of yourself. The one known as S, in channeling, enjoys creating a common ending for these channelings just as this instrument enjoys closing with those words which mean farewell and peace in the Creator. This entity closes its channelings with the thought, “Play well together.” This is a great road-building statement. Those who play well, with themselves and with each other, are honoring the Creator and the forces of unity that will release fear and open the heart.

There is some science which can be applied to a linear calculation of those plans which entities may create for themselves in order to give more shape and focus to what may otherwise seem an amorphous goal; that of lighting the planet and creating that solid connection to the next world which is at this time attempting to be born and certainly having its own difficulties. We commend all and any efforts to serve. Needless to say, we must leave plans which have to do with physical calculations in the hands of those in whose free will these plans are being tossed about as dreams, hopes, and visions. We commend the group effort suggested for exploring such services and would echo the sentiments of this instrument as spoken prior to this channeling having to do with being willing to rest in mystery and resonance to a certain extent in feeling one’s way towards the blending of the physical and metaphysical in service.

Now Q’uo said that we should embrace this time as a time when we who are steadfast shall be those who are able to function as Light transformers, keeping the energy moving into that grid which is made up of Love, and when our heart has been able to relax and free itself from fear it becomes fertile and contains the food needed for the Light worker to use faith in non-physical ways as seeds of Love to create a path between the third density and the fourth density, and each of us is one who gently and sometimes unknowingly utilizes faith, and when we birth it, that is the beginning of the self as an impersonal portion of the Godhead principle. Q’uo said when we can see ourself as a magical figure we are then able to move from a metaphysical position and time/space values, and this is the other side of releasing fear and the discipline of remembering that we are a being of Love and why we are here. Q’uo went on to say that they would complete this primary discussion by speaking about the interests that Carla had in more details of having organization come to the physical effort to support the concept of helping the fourth-density or Christ grid to become stronger and help the connection between this world and the next to solidify because most of this work has to do with our state of mind, for Love and all of the energetic essences which create our space/time reality have to do with the energies of the Love which created us and which we can focus on as co-Creators, allowing our will to direct those healing energies of unconditional Love that flow through each of us ceaselessly from the Creator, and this state of mind is always our choice and constitutes the greatest and most continuous choice of the incarnation: where shall our thoughts settle down, in love or in fear? Q’uo continued by saying that when we see ourself in fear that we should not abandon ourself but sit with ourself and look at the fear; let it be; see ourself as healable and as fallible but also as a hero dealing with amazing adversity because this is our story, and we should think well of ourself just as Carla enjoys closing her channeling with those words: “Play well together.” Q’uo said that this is a great road-building statement because those who play well, with themselves and with each other, are honoring the Creator and the forces of unity that will release fear and open the heart. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that there was some science of a linear nature for those plans which we may create for ourselves in order to give more shape and focus to what may seem an unclear goal of lighting the planet and creating a solid connection to the fourth density, which is attempting to be born and is having its own difficulties, and they commended all efforts to serve, but they felt it was necessary to leave plans which have to do with physical calculations in the hands of those in whose free will these plans are seen as dreams, hopes, and visions, and they suggested the group effort to be focused on being willing to rest in mystery and resonance to a certain extent in feeling our way towards the blending of the physical and metaphysical in our service. On May 25, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the birth of the fourth density upon Earth at this time:

Entities shall move into early fourth density no matter what happens to your sphere as the density changes, and they will repair the planet with the planet’s cooperation. Indeed many entities even now are repairing their little bit of the planetary surface by loving and talking to the Earth, by cooperating with what this instrument would call nature deities or divas, by relating to the surroundings of self with the understanding that all things are alive, all things work in rhythm and in harmony, and all things except those sunk in the mire of third-density forgetting not only love each other but know that they are one. In this atmosphere, the possibilities of becoming a powerful, magical person are great, and as the time sharpens the focus right unto the moment of birth of fourth density, there is in effect a fourth-density energy that is now as real upon your sphere as the third-density energy. It shows up within the physical world only by creating anomalous effects in terms of physics’ sub-atomic particles but it shows up within the inner life of that wonderful multilayered being that each of you is in a much more clear and obvious way, as the interpenetration of the two densities becomes such that it is much easier for nature, or for the forces of coincidence, to work in order to bring things to your attention which you have asked to be brought to your attention. That is why, in the midst of such challenging times, such times of transformation and change, yet still each of you has had the feeling of entities helping along the way, unseen hands giving a boost and angelic guidance coming through unexpected and unusual means.

We thank this instrument for its service at this time and would transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, leaving this instrument in love and in light. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each of you in love and in light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to ask if there may be any other queries to which we may speak at this session of working.

S: I have questions with me. In each meditation we have with you, we offer the lives of those friends and family who may be in need, but, since we may not always ask specifically to do that for them, would that be considered any violation of free will, per se?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. There is the gift of the one Creator which is the prana, the love energy which is available to all entities as a source of the life-giving qualities of the one Creator. It is to these energies that one adds when one prays for the wellbeing of another. Thus, the entity has the free will to work with these energies as they are given in the daily round of activities, perhaps enhanced by those who pray, by those who wish the entity well, but these energies are added to those which are usually utilized without one’s being aware of them.

Is there another query, my brother?

S: The last one is, I seem to have a great affinity for quartz crystals and points, and I was wondering if there is any other light that you could shed on why that might be so, whether it’s past incarnations or just the energies they allow or anything like that that I could contemplate on?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that there is some general information of this nature which we may share without infringement. We would suggest that there has been within your pattern of incarnations a great predilection towards these means of communication and healing which you have utilized in various ways in different incarnations. Thus, there is within your being a portion of your learning and service which resonates to these crystalline entities and their abilities to enhance one’s wellbeing, one’s level of élan vital, shall we say, the energy which powers one in the daily round of activities and in the geometric precision with which these crystalline entities may be utilized for healing, for communication and for the far-seeing, shall we say.

Is there another query, my brother?

S: Not from me, thanks.

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

Carla: I’d just like to ask, since it was my question and also my channel about the grid, if there was anything that you could channel through the one known as Jim that you couldn’t get through me because of my biases? If so, I’d be glad to hear it.

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. No, we do not wish to be overly generous in our compliments to your abilities as an instrument. We would suggest that there is a clear entry into your being which we may utilize in speaking our thoughts through your instrument. We feel no distortion or hesitation or bias that would hinder our ability to communicate that which we wish to communicate.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you, thank you very much. Thank you for the invitation. I’ll look at it very carefully.

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

[No more queries.]

I am Q’uo. We are most grateful for each entity’s participation in this circle of seeking, and we thank you for inviting us once again to join you as you walk this path of meditation, of service, of intensification of desire, and of open-hearted sharing, each with the other.

We are known to you as those of Q’uo. At this time, we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group. We leave each in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I vacuumed the first floor of my home.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food. My second stop was at PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My third stop was at Walgreen’s where I picked up a couple of prescriptions and some paper plates.

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

January 31

The Arid Seedcases Of Words

I greet you in the consciousness of the Love of Jesus Christ.

I am the Spirit of that love among the nations of the world, the force which carries the single concept of Love in the clumsy containers of words to all who may have ears to hear.

Yet how can words wake up to the aliveness of the Spirit, which cannot be contained within the arid seedcases of words? It is a great temptation to speak only in poetry, only in stories, to attempt to evoke feelings beyond words, emotion beyond concept.

For though we offer knowledge, it is not knowledge of words but knowledge of faith. For the full consciousness of Love evokes an assurance and a delight. If you feel not these things, ask again for the spirit’s comfort, that you may know the Love of Jesus Christ and reflect it in your life; that you, too, may carry in awkward seedcases the living and fructifying Love of Christ to all who have ears to hear.

In peace I leave you, now and always. I am the Holy Spirit of Jesus the Christ.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 22:

Question from J1: Can the source of anger, seeming this is the source of the cancer, be inherited? Can it be from past-life programming, or could it be deliberately implanted or consciously created to create a learning opportunity during the incarnation?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you with great joy in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in Whose service we are. It is a great blessing and privilege to be called to your group this day to join in your meditation and to offer our humble opinion on the subject of the causes or the providence of cancer. We are glad to share our opinions with you with the request, as always, that each discriminate carefully as each listens or reads so that no idea is allowed to take lodging within your value system that is not resonant to you personally. With this in place we feel much freer to offer our opinion without being concerned that we might infringe on your free will.

The circle of seeking this day queries concerning cancer and certainly we may speak concerning this particular distortion or disease. However, our remarks may in general be relevant to other conditions and estates of humankind’s physical vehicle.

We would begin by acknowledging some of the basic structure from which we speak concerning that which is conceived of among your peoples as disease. Since all that has formed is a distortion of the one original Thought, to say that disease is a distortion is not to insult the breed. For, indeed, that which is known among your peoples as disease has its own beauty and function within the system of dynamics of third density. It is a highly convenient and somewhat sensitive means of ending a life span at the just and appropriate time for that entity and, indeed, in many cases the so-called disease comes into play as a result of the filling up of the capacity of the entity’s learning system from the wear and tear of the daily incarnational experience once the vital energies of the entity have expended that amount which they have to offer to the challenges and pleasures of having breath and life within third density which may have ended sooner than was intended before incarnation.

This is impossible to predict before incarnation, either how catalyst will strike the entity within incarnation or to what depth the increased load of unprocessed experience may go. When such bank accounts of undigested experience rest within an entity so that the amount of unprocessed catalyst is over the full line for an entity in terms of incarnational energy then it is that the physical vehicle may gladly accept the disease in order to plead a sensible and timely period upon an incarnational pattern. This is most helpful for the entity so that healing may occur as would be needed to create an atmosphere within which the entity somewhat healed from its travels in its personality shell through the incarnation may recover itself, take thought after its healing, and consult with its higher self and all guides in the construction of a new incarnation which would address those unresolved catalysts. It is for this reason that many entities who find themselves dealing with physical difficulties of one kind or another would then end life experience at a younger age than would be, shall we say, the cultural norm among your peoples. Consequently, whatever the condition or disease that is perceived by those who offer tests with the various measuring devices of your peoples, they have only the outer hints and clues as to the true cause of the condition.

The shape of unprocessed emotion within the incarnational energy vehicle most closely associated with the physical vehicle has a much more accurate and clear concept of where the opportunity of an ending to the incarnation is coming from in terms of cause. Only the entity and, perhaps, sometimes not even that entity is fully aware of what sorrows upon the heart, what unbalanced emotion upon the emotional body, have created a situation of imbalance which has reached the point where the mind complex of an entity cannot balance it. When this occurs the natural evolution of the distortion known as disease is to move from those difficulties within the mind to the more obvious hints and clues offered by the analogous condition which has been given to the body, for it to, shall we say, act out its distress, sorrow, anger, grief, or whatever the imbalanced emotion or unrefined emotion that has been causing the distortion to be chronic within the energy body of the individual.

The query specifically moves to question the three possible causes of the arising of cancer from anger, that is: the predisposition of the genetic makeup of the vehicle, the carryover from past life distortions, and the placing of the illness or condition within the life experience as a response to those things which occur within incarnation, and we would take these one at a time after simply saying that we would agree with the one known as J1 that relating the emotions of unrefined anger to the condition cancer is quite often correct as a solution to the linkage between mind and body in the arising of that particular disease.

The group question for this session was: “Question from J1: Can the source of anger, seeming this is the source of the cancer, be inherited? Can it be from past-life programming, or could it be deliberately implanted or consciously created to create a learning opportunity during the incarnation?” Q’uo began their response by saying that all things are a distortion of the one original Thought, and that which we call a disease has its own distortions that have their own beauty and function within the third density, and diseases are often the way of ending our life at the appropriate time after we have learned what we came to learn, and the wear and tear of our life of learning has used up our vital energies to meet the challenges and pleasures of learning our lessons sooner than was intended before incarnation. Q’uo went on to say that it cannot be predicted when our catalyst will strike our bodies within our incarnation or how much unprocessed catalyst will remain that could be more that our incarnational energy can process, so then our body may accept a disease in order to gain more time for a partial healing to occur as would be needed so that we may consult our higher self and guides in order that a new incarnation may be planned to deal with our unresolved catalyst, and this is why many entities would have their lives ended at a younger age than would be normal for our culture as determined by our medical sciences. Q’uo continued by saying that when we have unprocessed emotions within our energy body–which is a portion of our physical body–they will give us a clear concept of where the cause of the ending of our incarnation is coming from in the form of sorrows within our heart which we have not been able to balance, and when this happens then the disease will move from our mental difficulties to the clues which have been given to our body for it to symbolically express the imbalanced emotion of sorrow, anger, or grief within our energy body. Then Q’uo said that there were three possible causes of cancer as anger coming from: “the predisposition of the genetic makeup of the vehicle, the carryover from past life distortions, and the placing of the illness or condition within the life experience as a response to those things which occur within incarnation”, and Q’uo said that they would speak about these one at a time after agreeing with J1 that relating his emotions of unrefined anger to his cancer is usually correct as a solution to the link between the mind and the body in the cause of cancer. On March 5, 2016, Hatonn spoke of the process unprocessed catalyst by the mind is given to the body:

We find that in the healing process we look upon the body as the creature of the mind that has expressed symptoms that you may call disease or distortions that exist because the mind itself has not been able to successfully process catalyst. When the mind has not achieved this processing of catalyst, then it is that the catalyst is given to the body complex in a symbolic form with the hope that this form of disease, as you would call it, may attract the attention of the mind to notice this catalyst in another form because it was missed the first time around, shall we say.

Firstly, there is the possibility of genetic predisposition, and while we completely agree that this predisposition is a portion of many entities within your density who do experience the arising of this disease, it is entirely possible for two entities with the same genetic makeup to respond quite differently to stress when it takes the form of the hot and fiery distortions of anger. One entity may be able to allow the refining of that anger by not resisting it or holding on to it but simply sitting with that anger in utter compassion for the reasons for that anger, the hurt, and pain, and sorrow behind that anger, the entity feeling threatened, fearful, abandoned or unworthy and thus creating the experience of a confused anger that then can be placed in the tempering fire of patience and waiting so that that anger is given time to be refined by the enduring fire of experience.

When that which is creating distortion is allowed to express itself completely in the inner energetic system of the vehicle then it is that the physical distortions that might arise, the cause of genetic predisposition, will not arise since there is not an imbalance penetrating or chronic enough to trigger the stimulus to which cancer is a response. Consequently, the thinking system and the perception system of each entity has the responsibility for determining what is the truth of any particular occurrence, and when an entity’s information system is able to deliver, shall we say, a less distorted truth concerning the evolution of the emotion of anger, the skill of this draws the sting out of the otherwise triggering perception that the entity is no longer safe and must become one who is on guard and protecting oneself.

This contracting or defending choice when faced with one’s own anger defines the perception that the cells of the body will receive. If anger is perceived and yet it is perceived from a viewpoint of safety, compassion, and nurturing it will not constitute a trigger for a physical vehicle to produce that which is cancer. Thus, it is exquisitely central for entities to be alert to the actual nature of their allowed perceptions for what is perceived is what the physical vehicle reacts to. Each has seen the demonstration of hypnotism where an entity is informed that being stuck with a pin will not hurt and, sure enough, the hypnotist is able to demonstrate the changed perception of the client which has been hypnotized. This is precisely the nature of perception, and we encourage each always to gaze with a clear eye and an unbiased point of view at the nature of one’s thoughts. For each thought that is processed by the intelligence has its nature, its strength, and its vector in terms of polarity and purity.

Then Q’uo said that cancer may come from a genetic predisposition, and that it is possible for siblings with this same genetic make up to respond very differently to fiery anger where one entity may be able to allow the refining of its anger by not resisting it but sitting with it in compassion for the hurt and pain that caused its anger, and caused it to feel threatened or unworthy, which creates the experience of confused anger which can then be placed in the tempering fire of its patience and giving it time to be refined by the enduring fire of experience. Q’uo went on to say that when the stimulus which is creating anger is allowed to express itself completely in the inner energetic system of the body, then it is that the physical distortions of cancer that might arise–which are the cause of the genetic predisposition—or may not arise if there is not an imbalance that is strong enough to trigger the stimulus that will cause cancer, so Q’uo said that the perception system of each entity is responsible for determining what the truth is of any experience, and when their perception is able to see a less distorted truth concerning the evolution of their anger, this removes the sting from triggering perception that the entity is no longer safe and must become one who is on guard and protecting themself. Q’uo continued by saying that if anger is perceived from a viewpoint of safety and compassion it will not become a trigger for the body to produce cancer, so it is important for entities to be alert to the actual nature of their perceptions, for what they perceive is what their body reacts to,  and Q’uo encouraged each entity to gaze with an unbiased point of view at the nature of their thoughts because each thought that is processed by the mind has its nature in terms of polarity and purity. In 46.7-11, Ra described the general situation for positively and negatively oriented entities in dealing with anger in order to keep from getting cancer:

Questioner: I was just wondering, if an entity polarizes toward the service-to-self path, would the anger have the same physical effect that it affects an entity polarized toward the service-to-others path? Would it also cause cancer, or is it just a catalytic effect working in the positively polarized entity?

I am Ra. The catalytic mechanisms are dependent not upon the chosen polarity of a mind/body/spirit complex, but upon the use, or purpose, to which this catalysis is put. Thus the entity which uses the experience of anger to polarize consciously, positively or negatively, does not experience the bodily catalyst but rather uses the catalyst in mental configuration.

Questioner: Not sure that I understand that. Let’s take some examples. If an entity polarizing toward the negative path becomes angry… let’s take the condition where he develops a cancer. What is the principle of that for him?

I am Ra. We see the thrust of your query and will respond at variance with the specific query if that meets with your approval.

Questioner: Certainly.

Ra: The entity polarizing positively perceives the anger. This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger in itself. It then intensifies this anger consciously in mind alone until the folly of this red-ray energy is perceived, not as folly in itself, but as energy subject to spiritual entropy due to the randomness of energy being used.

Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began.

The negatively oriented mind/body/spirit complex will use this anger in a similarly conscious fashion, refusing to accept the undirected, or random, energy of anger and instead, through will and faith, funneling this energy into a practical means of venting the negative aspect of this emotion so as to obtain control over other-self or otherwise control the situation causing anger.

Control is the key to negatively polarized use of catalyst. Acceptance is the key to positively polarized use of catalyst. Between these polarities lies the potential for this random and undirected energy creating a bodily complex analog of what you call the cancerous growth of tissue.

Questioner: Then as I understand it you are saying that if the positively polarizing entity fails to accept the other-self or if the negatively polarizing entity fails to control the other-self, either of these conditions will cause cancer, possibly. Is this correct?

I am Ra. This is partially correct. The first acceptance or control, depending upon polarity, is of the self. Anger is one of many things to be accepted and loved as a part of self or controlled as a part of self, if the entity is to do work.

Questioner: Then are you saying that if a negatively polarized or polarizing entity is unable to control his own anger, or unable to control himself in anger, that he may cause cancer? Is this correct?

I am Ra. This is quite correct. The negative polarization contains a great requirement for control and repression.

The second suggestion as to causes of the cancer, that is, the cause of how the anger expresses itself in cancer, is that which is carried over into a present incarnation from a past incarnation. Often there is in the experience of older souls upon your planet—that is, those who have been through multiple lifetimes upon your planetary sphere—that there is a carryover especially of those experiences that have been involved in a previous death: the place of a fatal blow, the chakra involved in a mortal emotional dysfunction, even the primary and secondary energy centers associated with certain relationships distortions and imbalances. When such a relationship is central to the incarnation pattern it may well constitute an imbalance that expresses even through an entirely new body and energy system the cause of the strength of the previous distortion. Often in the case of wanderers this does not apply because such entities have balanced karma moving into the earth plane and therefore have only the energies of the present incarnation to balance.

When such a lack and imbalance does persist from one incarnation to another, we would say that it most generally does not take a certain form in terms of disease but rather constitutes an area of weakness that may be a target of opportunity for those illnesses that are offered to one that is at as toxic state of imbalance. These would then have to do more with the energy center affected by the imbalance than they would have to do with a particular disease. That is, where the imbalance was seen to be a yellow-ray imbalance, shall we say, the disease might be of the organs; it might be cancerous; it might be a nervous disease; it might have various descriptions depending upon the target of opportunity, its timing, and those illnesses available in the surrounding of the [inaudible]. However, such an illness would involve the same basic area of the physical vehicle.

This, then, would not be so much an emotionally caused disease but rather it would be that almost mechanical outworking of previous patterns with the insulating numbness of forgetfulness to ease the outworking of a complex pattern of imbalance from a previous incarnation. The usual expressions of such carryover illness are those expressions such as the colds, the flu, the problems with weight, the problems with the appearance of the skin, those things which are more generalized or simply visit for a time at a time when an entity does present a target of opportunity.

Now Q’uo said the second cause of how anger expresses itself as cancer is that which has come from a past incarnation where there is a carryover of those experiences that have been involved in a previous death such as: “the place of a fatal blow, the chakra involved in a mortal emotional dysfunction, even the primary and secondary energy centers associated with certain relationships distortions and imbalances,“ and when this kind of a relationship is important to the current incarnation it may create an imbalance that expresses itself through a new body and energy system because of the strength of the previous distortion, but this would not apply to wanderers because they have balanced karma as they incarnate on Earth, so they only have the energies of the present incarnation to balance. Q’uo went on by saying that when such imbalance persists from a previous incarnation it usually does not manifest as a certain disease but rather expresses itself in an area of weakness of the energy body which is out of balance such as the yellow-ray imbalance that would have to do with the organs in that area that could become cancerous, or it might be a nervous disease and have various descriptions depending upon the target of opportunity, its timing, and those illnesses available in the surrounding of the same basic area of the physical vehicle, and then Q’uo said that this would not be an emotionally caused disease, but it would be the mechanical manifestation of a previous incarnation, and the usual expressions of such an illness are in the form of: “colds, the flu, the problems with weight, the problems with the appearance of the skin, those things which are more generalized or simply visit for a time at a time when an entity does present a target of opportunity.” On March 4, 2001, Q’uo spoke of our energy body in relation to blockages and our health:

We would begin then by suggesting that it is well, when faced with a perceived imbalance in the energy body, to realize that the situation is non-local, no matter how local it may seem. That is, it may seem that there is a red-ray over-activation or a red-ray blockage and that this is then removing energy from the red ray. In actuality, the energies of the system are seldom blocked in only one ray because of the interrelationships between the rays, especially between the primary rays and also because of the centrality of the heart to those who are working in service-to-others polarity.

In the case of perceived red-ray blockage, for instance, it is well to gaze carefully at the nature of red ray. It is that first gateway of the energetic body. It is that first gateway that allows in the infinite energy of the one infinite Creator. The easy way to gaze at energy systems is to look at the blockages and, one by one, to remove them. However, the subtleties of each chakra move beyond the stated venue or placement of that chakra. That is to say, certainly the red-ray blockage has to do with sexuality in a linear sense, but in a very significant non-linear sense it has far more to do with the processes of love and fear as regards survival. Survival is a vital and hidden issue for an entity that is well fed, decently clothed, warm and with a roof over the physical head. It does not occur to the waking consciousness that there is a survival issue with regards to sexuality, for sexuality is clearly not necessary for survival. However, in the gateway to the metaphysical body or energy body one also is gazing at the gateway to the physical body, and this connection between physical and metaphysical bodies creates the situation in which the instincts of the physical body have a sometimes striking and, again, hidden effect upon the perceived experience of blockage in red ray, so that that which is perceived as sexual frustration is actually the cry of the heart to survive.

The third suggestion of the one known as J1 was that such anger may create opportunities for such a disease as cancer from inside the incarnation or from just prior to incarnation during the planning stages. And we would say that often this is the cause which is the, shall we say, the efficient cause of cancer among your peoples. For many are the people who are very eager to cleanse and purify their energy body of all imbalances and the guidance before incarnation encourages the self to put in place a possibility of illness in order that should the incarnation not be going as planned there may be set in place the predetermined tendency to form illnesses which create the opportunity for inner work. A good example from channeling which we find within this instrument’s awareness is that of the one known as Franklin who programmed into its incarnation the possibility of crippling polio. This did not occur in childhood as that particular disease normally does but rather it was set in place as a fallback strategy in case the one known as Franklin became led astray from its desires prior to incarnation to become more positive, more openhearted, and more service-oriented.

The practice of politics is, shall we say, not designed to create such opportunities for positive polarity but rather such practice as those of a politician may well lead to service-to-self energies being fairly freely encouraged under the guise of helping groups of people for their own good. When this particular imbalance became marked enough within this entity’s incarnation it then chose subconsciously to create for itself a situation within which it would be more able to do inner work and less able to have a breadth and a fast pace of social activity. This did, indeed, in this particular entity’s case work well and created the possibility of much good work and balancing the distortions having to do with the right use of power.

When a severe illness comes to one unexpectedly it certainly is appropriate to question carefully all three of these possibilities and many others not yet thought of. It is well to gaze deeply into the self to see as clearly as possible the distortions and glamours and exaggerations and cruel lacks of self-encouragement and self-validation that may have created such an imbalance that the energies of disease were needed. It is well always to see disease not as an enemy but as that friend which has perhaps come too soon and needs to be asked to move out of the stage of life and back into the wings so that more of this incarnation may be enjoyed.

The solution which the one known as J1 seeks to the riddle of disease and illness is that which we commend for truly all is Love and as each becomes able to see the self with Love and all things outside the self with Love, one is able to create the atmosphere in which healing occurs. It is like giving oxygen to one who is having trouble breathing to give Love to the inner self. It may seem that others should love one and one should love others and that self-love is selfish, but there is a level at which it is not only unselfish but necessary for health, to come into a sense of peace within the self that is beyond explanation that is the result of feeling unthreatened, safe, and nurtured, and there is no one but the self that is able to give that resource to the self on a stable, everyday basis.

Certainly, an entity may feel safer with a certain companion or with a certain group. However, in terms of the innermost workings of an energy system within the human third-density being the setting of the stage for a balanced and even functioning experience of living is what this instrument calls falling in love with the self. The energy of compassion is easy to feel for others. It is easy to open one’s heart when one sees another’s suffering. It is much more difficult to see the beauty of one’s own suffering and to see the heroism of one’s own endurance and determination to survive. It is very easy for an entity to be blind to his own beauty. More than that it is very easy for entities, especially within your culture, to fear and shun the shadow self, thus alienating that dark side of self in which lies so much strength and health when appropriately acknowledged, loved, and disciplined. The one known as John wrote, “Love is all there is.” Others have written similar sentiments such as, “Love is the answer,” and these simple phrases hold a powerful and unified truth.

We would ask each at this moment to rest and to invite the self to move beneath the breathing, the heartbeat, and to the essence of self. Beyond form, beyond function, beyond explanation, can you feel the jewel-like crystal of you vibrating, radiating and being? Experience that beautiful energy that is yours alone, feel it flowing from the root chakra upwards and out the top of the head. Sense into the entity upon your left; now turn your attention to the entity upon your right. Feel the energy fields mingle and cuddle together and feel the energy of the group entwining itself from the energies that have flowed out of the heads of each so that they begin to spin and form a spiral, upward spiraling, moving on into the eternal realms from each pilgrim heart. This is your beauty, and this is the beauty of the group.

Q’uo said that the third suggestion of the one known as J1 was that such anger may create opportunities for such a disease as cancer from inside the incarnation or from just prior to incarnation during the planning stages, and they said that often this is the cause of cancer among our people because before incarnating many people wish to purify their energy body, but their guidance encourages them to put the potential for illness in place so that if our incarnation is not going as planned there may be the tendency for an illness to occur that would create the opportunity for inner work, and a good example was Franklin Roosevelt who programmed polio to set into his body if he failed to follow his pre-incarnative desires to be openhearted in seeking and using power. Q’uo went on by saying that when a severe illness comes to one unexpectedly it is well to look at all three of these possible causes of cancer and any others that can be thought of and to look for them deeply within the self to see where if there are any distortions of self-aggrandizement or lacks of self-validation that may have created an imbalance that resulted in a disease, and any disease could then be seen as a friend which has appeared too soon and needs to be asked to move out of the body so that the incarnation may be longer. Q’uo continued by saying that the solution to healing disease is Love, and as each of us sees ourself with Love and all things with Love, we can create an atmosphere in which healing occurs, and there is a level at which it is possibe for our health to come into a sense of peace within ourself that is beyond explanation and is the result of feeling safe and nurtured, and there is no one but ourself that is able to give that resource of peace to us on a stable, everyday basis. Then Q’uo said that we may feel safer with a certain companion or with a certain group, but as third-density beings, in order to set the stage for having a balanced experience of living, we need to fall in love with ourselves by seeing the beauty of our suffering and our determination to survive, and we also need to learn how to love and accept our dark side which contains so much strength and health when we acknowledge, love, and discipline it. Q’uo asked each of us to rest and to invite ourselves to move beneath the breathing, the heartbeat, and to the essence of ourself and experience that beautiful energy that is ours flowing from our root chakra upwards and out the top of our head. Q’uo completed their reply by asking us to sense into the person on our left and on our right and feel their energy fields mingle together and: “feel the energy of the group entwining itself from the energies that have flowed out of the heads of each so that they begin to spin and form a spiral, upward spiraling, moving on into the eternal realms from each pilgrim heart. This is your beauty, and this is the beauty of the group.” On September 4, 2010, Carla said that we need to love and accept our dark side:

We need our dark side. We need to love our dark side. We certainly don’t need to exercise it, but we need to appreciate it, to accept it, and to ask it to work for us instead of against us. And I think we can do that. We can learn to play this piano. Not just chopsticks. We can be good. We can be really good!

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim that we may answer any shorter queries that this group may have at this time. We thank the one known as Carla and leave this instrument in love and light. We are those of Q’uo.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at the vet to pick up some meds for Bosco. My second stop was at PNC to make a cash withdrawal. And my last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up two prescriptions and some paper plates.

This afternoon I went over to my neighbor’s house and used some packing tape to tape a third bird feeder pole to the shorter of the two bird feeder poles in her front yard so the deer won’t be able to reach it and empty it in a day.

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

January 30

The Presence Of Heaven

I am of the principle manifest in the Love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

Where is the keeper of the keys to your idea of heaven? Indeed, what is your idea of heaven? Within the infinity behind the closed eyes, consider this: how far lies heaven or how near? What holy ground is nearest to your own situation?

The Spirit of Love is that which is the essence of heaven and that heaven is available within each spirit that abides in faith.

Pause within this moment to feel the great galaxies of inner space that lie within the silence behind closed eyes. Sense the divinity of this space. Sense that floor of heaven out of which each entity and all of its experiences grow.

Yes, my friend, your roots are in heaven. That is your native land, and you carry it with you, within yourself. It is not to be put off so that you may suffer now. Allow your suffering to lift long enough to sense the blessed presence of Love within. This presence is that which you call heaven, whatever its manifestation.

Do not submit to misery when there is, to the faithful seeker, the certainty of heaven. Allow the heaven within to speak to the misery within. Allow the eyes of that consciousness to find for you the peace within suffering, the options not noticed before that may alleviate this suffering and above all the greater point of view which glories in the challenges of lessons learned and heaven recognized within.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 19:

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we come today. We thank you so much for calling us to your circle of seeking and for taking the time, and the concentration, and focus from your very hectic and busy lives for creating a place and a time to seek the truth.

We grasp that this is to be a question-and-answer session, and so we would ask only that, in our answering these questions, each keep in mind that we, like you, are travelers upon a road, knowing little, experiencing mystery, and wishing to share our thoughts and opinions but not wishing to assume the vesture of authority. Therefore, we ask each to pick up and enjoy those thoughts that appeal to each. Those thoughts that do not appeal, we ask each to leave behind. With this discrimination on the part of each, we are free to speak without infringement upon free will. May we ask for the first query?

J: Yeah, hi, Q’uo. This is J and glad that you’re here with us today, and I’m the one that called you to the channel, and I’m here with my best friend, R, who is leaving soon to move to the beautiful island of Hawaii, and so I wanted her to be with me here today to ask some questions. One of the most nagging questions that I have is I really like what I do; I like being a body worker; I love doing massage with people; and I feel like that’s one of the ways that I can be in service of others. However, sometimes I feel like that there’s more that I should be doing, and I don’t know if I should worry about it. I would like if you could speak about being in service to others and maybe doing body work, and if this is really where I’m supposed to be at this time.

We are those of Q’uo, and we grasp your query, my sister. The desire to be of service to others is the arrow that flies without error. It is difficult from within the illusion of third density to have a clear, lucid point of view concerning one’s own outer gifts and inner gifts, and one’s use of them. It is often skewed, because perhaps one misperceives a portion of one’s gifts or denigrates it as being not as useful as other inner or outer gifts. We are aware that, in the case of the one known as J, the desire is true, and, although we cannot ask any to be content with our knowledge, we would offer the point of view that the system of incarnational lessons and service works with a great deal of redundancy so that if an incarnational lesson has been planned, it will occur as an opportunity, not once, not twice, but as long as the entity who has set this pattern up is alive and needs the experience of working with that particular pattern or structure of catalyst.

Therefore, it is not that any entity is going to be the perfect understander and scholar of one’s own fate or destiny, but rather that the redundancy feature ensures that, if one opportunity for a certain type of service or a certain type of learning is missed or unseen at one juncture, it will surely come around again offering another opportunity, and another, and another. Nor is there any judgment from self to self, in terms of the self between incarnations that set this plan up, concerning whether or not the entity in incarnation decides to take advantage of a particular pattern for learning. Indeed, it may be noted that many wanderers create for themselves a superfluity of incarnational lessons and service in the same way that a child will fill his plate overfull because it all looks so good.

Not all things in life are requirements as far as the school of living is concerned. As a classroom, the curriculum of Earth is simple: it is love. There are lessons in how to love, in how to accept love from others. These lessons may have to do with loving without expectation of return or, in many cases, learning to accept love without expectation of debt or guilt. As the one known as J has pointed out, it is often far easier to serve and to love without expectation of return than to accept the love offerings of others as a worthy and honorable person. The lesson of acceptance of love is keyed, therefore, to those who are dealing with exceptional clarity in seeing the landscape of their own imperfection. Consequently, that entity which is working upon opening the heart to being worthy of love is also working upon lessons that are linked to the distortion of feeling unworthy. The service of the inner type, as each in this group is aware, is the more central service, since it works upon the soul of the planet, the soul of the entity, and the soul of the group entity that is the self and those other selves that are even now becoming more and more able to form the basic structure of trust and sharing that is the foundation for fourth-density shared memory.

J asked: “One of the most nagging questions that I have is I really like what I do; I like being a body worker; I love doing massage with people; and I feel like that’s one of the ways that I can be in service to others. However, sometimes I feel like there’s more that I should be doing, and I don’t know if I should worry about it. I would like if you could speak about being in service to others and maybe doing body work, and if this is really where I’m supposed to be at this time.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that it is difficult from within the third-density illusion to know what our inner and outer gifts are and how to use them because they may be misperceived or not valued, but  that J has pre-incarnatively programmed her lessons and services that will be revealed to her by appearing in her life at various times for as long as she is alive so that if one opportunity is missed it will come around again. Q’uo went on by saying that the lesson of Earth is to love so that: “There are lessons in how to love, in how to accept love from others. These lessons may have to do with loving without expectation of return or, in many cases, learning to accept love without expectation of debt or guilt.” Then Q’uo said it is easier to give love than to accept love, and that the lesson of accepting love is worked upon by us as we see our own imperfections so that when we seek to open our heart so that we feel worthy of being loved we are working upon our feeling of being unworthy. Q’uo said that the more important type of service is of the inner type since it works upon the soul of the planet, our soul, and the souls of other selves that are becoming able to form the love of others that is the basic foundation of the fourth-density social memory complex. On May 25, 2019, Q’uo spoke of how we can aid the soul of our planet as we join together to form a social memory complex:

Each conscious seeker of truth who is attempting to open the heart in unconditional love, and therefore become what you would call harvestable, is potentially a parent of that which is being born at this time upon and within your planet, and within the heart of each seeker of truth. The fourth-density vibrations have been engulfing your planet for some period of time, which you would call years, shall we say, so that this kind of illumination for the planetary entity and its population is that which feeds the soul of each conscious seeker of truth. Indeed, this feeds the soul of the planet itself as it begins to interact with those conscious souls who are aware that there is a transition, both for themselves as entities, for the population as a group, and for the planet as an entity itself.

Therefore, there is much of a unified experience that is ongoing at this time. The planetary entity of the fourth density is this babe in the manger of the mind, body, and spirits that seek the fourth-density experience of love and understanding. This interaction between the fourth-density planetary sphere and the new fourth-density population that shall inhabit that sphere is as the parent to child, shall we say, in both directions […] being inspirationally electrified so that there is much more energy available to the experience of growing, of seeking, of utilizing the Love and the Light of the One Creator. This growing and seeking is shared by the planetary entity being born, and the population of the fourth density that will inhabit this fourth-density planet.

Although the inner service is the central service, it is often the least easy to accomplish because of its very simplicity and its nature of being essence rather than form. Consequently, it is often the more efficient route to rest within one’s outer gifts while one is becoming more aware of the beauty of the inner self. There is, as this instrument has often said, a process which this instrument calls falling in love with the self. Until this moment occurs, the self will be seen as imperfect and error-prone. Within the illusion which you enjoy at this time, this is inevitable. However, there is a process of moving beneath the personality shell’s turbulence that we encourage each to invite, through silence and listening and the immersion of self in the creation of second density and first density, where the vibrations are without the veil, and there is much grounding and reaffirmation coming from the energetic beings that dwell within air, fire, earth, water and within each plant that blossoms and each animal that shares breath with those upon this planet.

This first and second-density entity is extremely helpful to those who are attempting to get a sense of themselves as beautiful and worthy, for each animal, no matter how humble, each plant, no matter if it be called a weed or a flower, has its youth, and its blooming, and its happy old age, and its natural sinking again into the earth. Does the leaf grow concerned because its structure has been somewhat eaten by insects? Does the doe in the forest lose faith in the rightness of things because there is not enough to eat? Indeed, each plant and each animal spends its time in surety, confidence and peace, for it is not troubled by attempting to justify its existence. It is not troubled by its perceived imperfections. Rather, such entities are just as the very aged kitty on the instrument’s lap. As it struggles with difficult and stertorous breathing it has absolutely no feelings of inadequacy, guilt, anger, or fear, but rather takes each breath as it comes while enjoying the most positive, and safe, and comfortable situation that it can find which, in this cat’s case, is to be within the aura of its favorite human.

May we say in this regard that service is often greatly helped by association with those who are able to support, encourage, and offer honest criticism of that path which in general is shared by both. The value of spiritually oriented companions in this wise of seeing oneself, seeing one’s service, cannot be overemphasized. All is within the self, and that which is intended to be placed before the view is indeed being placed before the view. The essence of service is that there is not a specific right service, but rather there is an opportunity that will revolve and come about again and again, and each instance of this sort of opportunity to pursue an outer gift will, if pursued, blossom into a viable path. Consequently, you cannot make a mistake; you cannot choose an incorrect road. You can choose only between a more direct one and a more roundabout one.

Q’uo continued by saying that our inner service is the central service, and it is difficult to accomplish because of its nature of being essence rather than form so that it is more efficient to focus upon our outer gifts while we are becoming more aware of the beauty of our inner self. Then Q’uo said there was a process which Carla called falling in love with ourselves, and until this moment occurs, we will see ourself as unworthy, which is inevitable within the third-density illusion, but there was a process of moving beneath our personality shell’s turbulence through silent meditation and walking within the natural environment of the first and second density where there is the feeling of our being grounded by theses energies and our feeling of the reaffirmation of the nature of our being. Then Q’uo said that first and second-density entities are extremely helpful to us when we are attempting to see ourselves as beautiful and worthy because each animal or plant goes through its cycle of life and death and spends its time in confidence and peace, for it is not concerned with being beautiful, or worthy, but they take each breath as it comes without trying to justify their existence. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that our service is often helped by joining with spiritually oriented companions that are able to support us and offer honest criticism to help us see ourselves and our service more clearly because all that we need to see is shown to us so that we can see that there is not one correct service, but there is a variety opportunities for service that will come around again and again, and each opportunity can become a viable path, so we cannot make a mistake; we cannot choose an incorrect road; we can choose only between a more direct path and a more roundabout path. In 83.17, Ra spoke of how spiritually oriented companions can help us on our spiritual journey:

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

May we answer further, my sister?

J: No, that was good on that question. Back to the second-density beings. I was wondering if you could speak to me about my dog, Gypsy, who is also getting on in years. She is so loving and so faithful. Is she third-density harvestable at this point in time when the cycle of her life ends?

We are those of Q’uo, and we find that we can confirm this as the one known as J is already aware of this entity’s harvestability.

J: Okay, one more question, and then I’d like for R to ask a question if she’d like to. I’ve been wondering lately if earth changes, things could really occur this year. I see Carla as an advisor, because she really helps me to stay grounded and not have a lot of fear. I’m thinking that possibly I should change residence. Is that something that you can speak to? I do like this place that I live in, but I’m wondering if I move in this coming year of 2003.

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. The energy that moves through your peoples at this time is an extremely vigorous one. It is the product of the increasing transparency between third density and fourth density. As this process of transparency continues to intensify, more and more entities will be sensitive along the lines of their distortions, sensitive in all ways. In those who are awake, it may seem to be a vigorous, cleansing wind; in others, it may seem to be the wind of change; in those who are fast asleep, it may seem simply to be a wind of confusion, chaos, and disaster. As this instrument would say, it is all in the point of view.

In such an atmosphere of increasing sensitivity of the self to thoughts and subtle energies, it is not surprising that entities whose distortions lie along the lines of quiet and an untouched aura would begin to feel that perhaps dwelling in such a densely populated area might not be as desirable for the peace of the inner self as moving to a less crowded area where there is more space for the aura to flower on its own. We see neither harm nor true help in such a move in terms of any deep spiritual motivations but would note that often, when there is within the self the desire for transformation, the movements of the self in the outer sense of literally moving from place to place may well help to create the atmosphere of transformation, in that the process of moving is in itself traumatic and carries an energy which can be added unto by the cleansing and regenerative energies that are felt within the being. Therefore, the move is not just a physical move but a symbol of the felt or perceived movement or transformation of the self. Therefore, it may be that such a trigger, that acts as a suggestion resource for the inner entity, may be helpful to the outer entity.

Is there a further question on that, my sister?

J: No, no, that’s good. That explains everything great. I personally want to thank you very much, and, as always, it’s good to be around you and your energy. I would like to ask R if she would like to ask a question.

R: Yes, J, thank you, and thank you for honoring me by bringing me here to this channeling. Thank you, Q’uo. I feel like a lot of what you’ve spoken already has been spoken to me and my inner self and questions. I am moving to Hawaii in less than a month, and I feel one of the big reasons is that I want to create that feeling of space and openness for my inner transformation, and you spoke of the first and second densities, of the plants and the animals, and I have a strong urge to submerge myself in that environment of nature. My questions would be, how can I best serve this world, my girlfriend, M, who I’ll be moving with, and myself through this move and this transformation, and are there particular energies, whether it be individuals or groups that might… that I might be able to assist, and they may be able to assist me in our transformations to be love?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. We are glad to comment upon this exciting and transformative adventure upon which you set out in so brief a period of days and hours. The best way to serve in the new environment is the best way to serve in all environments, and that is to offer the self without pride but with joy, to the moment, to the lifetime, to eternity in purity of being, in the glisten of armor polished by discipline so that the armor of light may shine.

Already the one known as R sees the self as a light. The question always with the light is, where to put it? Shall it be placed upon the top of a building and become a light in a lighthouse that warns those of dangerous reefs? Shall it be a light of hope that is cast into those lives which have been darkened by pain? Is it the particular kind of light that is the flame of passion? This is the question that each may ask the self when hoping to serve one’s very best. Where is the passion, where is the desire, and where, when one opens one’s eyes, is the opportunity?

It has puzzled, confused and baffled many and discouraged more that when the dreams of the heart are to serve by noble and outwardly respected means, that when the eyes open to the situation at hand, it consists instead of cleaning a bathroom, washing the dishes, cooking the meals, “chopping wood, carrying water,” as this instrument would say. The one known as R also has placed for itself in the coming situation, as well as in the situation it is leaving, ample opportunity for service and for learning. There are entities and groups with whom, as a soul, your soul stream has made agreements. You may think of these entities as members of a large family that has been apart for some time but that, when it comes together, has a certain resonance that speaks of home, anchoring, safety, intimacy, and nurturing. Look for the resonances in those that you meet, not only so that you may be of help to them but so that they, in their need to be of service, may be of help to you.

May we answer you further, my sister?

[Long pause.]

Is there a further query at this time?

J: No, I think this is probably about the length of time for this instrument. We thank her, too, for offering herself as a channel and thank you very much, Q’uo, for being with us today.

We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, too, my sister and the one known as R as well. It has been our privilege and our pleasure to share energy with you. We thank this instrument as well, and we leave each of you as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. We are those of Q’uo.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food. My second stop was at the Speedway Gas Station where I filled Stanley with premium gas. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I dropped off a prescription and then bought some Pepsi-Zero and some Kleenexes.

This afternoon I filled one of my neighbor’s bird feeders and then went inside her house and visited with her for a while to see how things have been going for her recently and letting her know what I have been doing lately.

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

January 29

Praise You Like A River

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

Open your eyes and praise the good and bounteous Creator.

Open your heart and find the cause for praise in all that you see.

Every dead branch that litters the ground is but a symbol of the health of the tree. Thus, those things which seem to be un-praiseworthy are, indeed, cause for thanksgiving.

Just so, your feet are to be praised as they walk upon the road of life. And the road of life is to be praised for holding your being, cradling your consciousness, and opening up eyes that see not only the good in those things beautiful to the eye but the praiseworthy aspects of those things which may seem lesser.

See the pruning of the Father’s universe and praise the good Maker of the peaceful, harmonious and sacrificial plan of change, development, maturity, and illumination.

In the end, as you see with eyes of praise, you shall be transparent, and praise shall flow from you like a river as it flows into you by your prayer.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

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

What can I do to be more of an integrated whole and healed being, vital, expansive and radiant, filled with more of the Creator’s joyful and creative light, making me a more transparent and humble servant of the light?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we come to your people and to your circle of seeking this day. We thank each for the setting aside of the time and the energy and the care to seek the truth, and we are glad to share our opinions concerning the question of the one known as B concerning how to live a more radiant and service-oriented life, with the simple request that each of our thoughts be taken as an opinion rather than a fact and be subjected to the indifferent scrutiny of that part of the self which is the discriminator. Allow that energy within that knows what is and what is not helpful to make its feelings known, and, when there is resonance, then we are pleased to have been a resource. If there is not resonance, we are simply pleased to have you forget that which was said. For there is always truth in the surroundings of every moment for those who have the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the hearts to understand. With this caveat, we are able to be comfortably on the proper side of the distortion towards preserving free will amongst all; of being a stumbling block for none.

The one known as B, as well as the one known as Carla, and the one known as Jim, and in general those entities on your planet which are enjoying third density at this time, indeed do have a tendency to get in their own way, as if there were part of the self that enjoyed blocking the natural light that streams into the body complex, most visibly from sunlight, but, in an energetic sense, moves into the body at all time. Both the physical and non-physical vehicles flow light through in infinitely great amounts, potentially. The energy body is as the electricity, having the capacity for both a large amount of energy carried, and a large intensity or resistance of energy carried. Thus, the crystal within you can both be strengthened in terms of more power and can amplify its power by focusing, crystallizing, and mythologizing the energy that moves through it and the crystal that bears it and shares it. The higher the desire, the more opportunity or capacity for bringing more light through; the more focused the will upon the dance of creative living, the more intense and penetrating shall be the nature of that widened channel for Light. The ability of one entity to be a channel for Light is infinite. An unflawed crystal could heal a planet. The secret to doing work in the sense of magnetizing the fourth-density grid or, in a more mythological sense, helping to birth Gaia’s fourth-density self, is a helpful way to encourage and align the self with the emotional point of view which will help create a broader and a more intense and pure flow of the Creator’s infinite Love and Light into the planetary grid. We may say in another way, into the hearts of all those that lie within the tidal waves that emanate from your being.

It is said in the holy work known as the New Testament of the Bible that it is not good to hide one’s light under a covering, but rather it is good to stand it upon a hill where it can be seen, letting it bear witness to the Light. The tendency of this instrument, of the one known as B, of the one known as Jim, and of most of the entities upon the earth is to stand in one’s own light. The truth is that each entity is precisely that which the one known as B asked how to become. Each is as the master, the knight in shining armor, the hero or the heroine. Each faces the ordeal of life, the ordeal of personal relationships, the ordeal of creating a living, the ordeal of true communication, and the ordeal of facing the self, in the sense of doing work in the disciplining of the personality. The answer to the question which you asked lives within you already: purpose, already perfect, worthy co-Creator, part of what this instrument’s teacher calls the Godhead principle.

You are part of the principle of planet Earth. For the most part, this social memory complex has not been activated, because the fourth-density mass mind has only taken its first tentative steps. Each who is master during this hour plants the seeds of a harvest that will feed those who are able to build upon the work done by this special group of those who come to aid in the harvest. Certainly, as the one known as Brother Philip has said, “… the crown weighs heavy upon the head, and yet you shall wear it, and you shall serve under it.”

If each is a master, what is keeping each from the self-realization of mastership? This instrument has been used to calling it “world opinion.” All that is within the consensus reality is world opinion. In no case does it reflect reality. That which reflects beyond the illusion is the consciousness within, and it is, as all potential things, caged until the reaping hand unlocks the door. In this instrument’s hymnal, there is a poem which she is used to singing, which has the image of the entity known as Jesus the Christ standing outside the door of one’s heart, knocking ever so gently and asking to come in. Doubt, fear, and that kind of contracting emotion deafen the ear of faith and blind the eye of knowing. They stop the mouth of hope, and make one’s armor permeable.

The group question for this session was: “What can I do to be more of an integrated whole and healed being, vital, expansive and radiant, filled with more of the Creator’s joyful and creative light, making me a more transparent and humble servant of the light?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that most of us on planet Earth at this time tend to get in our own way as if a part of ourself enjoyed blocking the natural sunlight that streams into our bodies at all times, so that both our physical and non-physical vehicles flow light through them in infinitely great amounts. Q’uo went on to say that our energy body is similar to electricity because it has the capacity to carry a large amount of energy and a large resistance to the energy it carries, so the crystal within us can be strengthened in terms of amplifying its power by focusing the energy that moves through it and the crystal that bears it and shares it, and the higher our desire, the more opportunity there is for us to bring more light through; and the more focused our will is upon living creatively, the more intense shall be the nature of our widened channel for Light. Q’uo continued by saying that our ability to be a channel for Light is infinite, and if we were an unflawed crystal we could heal a planet, so the secret to our doing work to help Gaia’s fourth-density self to be born is aligning our self with the emotional point of view which will help create a more intense and pure flow of the Creator’s infinite Love and Light into the planetary grid and into the hearts of all of us that lie within the tidal waves that emanate from our being. Then Q’uo said that the tendency of most of us upon the earth is to stand in our own light, but the truth is that each of us is the hero or the heroine, and each us faces the ordeals of personal relationships, of creating a living, of facing the self that is our work in the disciplining of our personality so that the answer to the question B asked lives within each of us already: purpose, already perfect, worthy co-Creator, part of what Carla’s teacher calls the Godhead principle. Now Q’uo said that we are part of the principle of planet Earth where our social memory complex has not been activated because our fourth-density mass mind has only taken its first tentative steps, and each of us who is a master during this time that: “plants the seeds of a harvest that will feed those who are able to build upon the work done by this special group of those who come to aid in the harvest. Certainly, as the one known as Brother Philip has said, “… the crown weighs heavy upon the head, and yet you shall wear it, and you shall serve under it.” Q’uo asked if each of us is a master, what is keeping us from the self-realization of mastership? And then they said that Carla calls it “world opinion” and all that is within the consensus reality is world opinion, but it does not reflect reality because that which reflects reality is the consciousness within us, and it is caged until the reaping hand unlocks the door like the poem in Carla’s hymnal which used the image of Jesus the Christ standing outside the door of our heart, knocking gently and asking to come in which would remove the doubt and fear that create contracting emotions that deafen our faith and make our armor permeable. On July 27, 1986, L/Leema described the process of self-realization:

However, take yourselves seriously, my friends, seriously enough to be serious about joy, to be serious about peace, to be serious about love. We hope that you may discover the joy that lies within tears and sorrow when one has the knowledge of greater horizons and greater cycles, that each one may experience the peace within difficult times as one discovers that one is not alone, but may share each burden, the love which is not cloying or sentimental, but creative and transformative, in other words, the state of divine unrest which is the ceaseless changing reality, shall we say, of one who is on the path and striving to realize Oneness with the infinite Creator. Never let the knowledge of your own seeming imperfections cause you to be cynical about your divinity or the importance of your self-realization of it. Look for it in yourself, not just in other people.

Itis acceptable in the extreme to be doubtful; to, as this instrument would say, “err and stray from the ways” of the infinite Creator, yet the attempt to move gently back into the balanced and centered state of mind which is the open heart ever and always creates a new experience or the potential for the brand-new moment. This entity is aware enough of the psychological benefit of starting again that it will, tomorrow afternoon, confess its sins, slight though they may be, to that priest which is assigned to her parish. This entity does not believe in sin, only in making mistakes, yet still this entity feels lighter when it is completely empty of un-confessed shadows and forgiven for each and every error. Then there is a new heaven and a new earth, infinity of new possibilities and new beginnings. This is true at the moment, and it does not take a priest unless an entity is fond of rituals and finds it helpful to seek such a practice as this instrument has. The roles of this confession and forgiveness can both be taken by the self. One stands in one’s own light, because one is under the impression that it is the proper thing to do.

Many times, it does not even feel incorrect or wrong to express fear in some way, because it seems practical, and thoughtful, and responsible to be concerned. However, it is well, when the possibility of doing so arises, to take the opportunity to recount one’s errors to one’s priest or itself and to be shriven with a truly compassionate heart. The addition of the outer priest creates the illusion that there is a Creator moving through the intermediary of priesthood and touching the lowly penitent. The truth is that the instrument creates or projects the priest from the self by fear, contracting against the idea of meeting the Creator directly. This is that which the instrument is aware of and accepts as a part of her earthly personality shell until such time as this practice no longer offers her comfort or a resource in pursuing her desires.

However, for those who are of a more solitary nature, it is well to invoke the priest within yourself, and we would suggest that you create this portion of the self as feminine, nurturing and loving; a part of the self that truly loves with the full and flowing heart, that sees the soul amidst the grime of an entity’s inevitable errors. As this instrument pointed out in the conversation before this meditation, errors are not only necessary but adventurous. They are necessary, because the nature of learning is trial and error, trial and error. Each time, the information of that attempt creates new knowledge. Eventually, an entity increases its knowledge enough to reach its goal, by which time it is involved in a further quest.

So, the cycle is a spiral which will predictably address the life’s issues of an incarnational level on a cyclical basis. Each time that the theme recurs, the motif is offered in a new instrumentalization, and there are nuances to be learned each time. There is no reason to be discouraged because the entity sees itself slipping into numbness or over-activity. This is another way of making an error and represents that which offers the possibility of learning. Thusly, if it can be seen as “adventures in failure,” and if it can be seen that each failure inevitably leads to the attainment of goals that are deep within the desires of the soul stream of the entity, then it becomes easier to have compassion upon the self within its dream of personality and preference.

[Carla sings]

Oh, Jesus, thou art standing outside the fast-closed doors, In lowly patience waiting to cross the threshold o’er. Then come, oh Christian brother, His name and sign who bear, And shame, thrice shame, upon us who leave him standing there!

Then Q’uo said that Carla did not believe in sin but only in making mistakes, and she felt much lighter when she confessed her mistakes and felt forgiven which is what any of us can do for ourselves, and then we can create a new heaven and a new earth and stand in our own light. Q’uo went on to say that sometimes it might be helpful to express fear because it is a way of taking responsibility for our errors by speaking with a priest or with ourselves so that we can be forgiven by a compassionate heart. Q’uo expanded on this concept by saying that if we speak with a priest we are creating the illusion of the Creator moving through the priest to our humble self, but then Q’uo said that the truth is that Carla projects the priest through herself by fear and moves away from the idea of meeting the Creator directly, and she was aware of this and accepted it as a part of her earthly personality shell until this practice no longer offered her a resource in pursuing her desires. Q’uo continued by saying that for those of us who are of a solitary nature that it is well to invoke the priest within ourself and to create this portion of ourself as feminine, a part of ourself that loves with a full heart and sees our soul because errors are necessary and adventurous since we gain new knowledge through the cycle of trial and error. Now Q’uo said that this cycle is a spiral which will predictably address our life’s lessons that repeat in cycles, and each time that a theme recurs there are additional nuances to be learned, and there is no reason for us to be discouraged because we see ourself slipping into numbness or over-activity, so Q’uo said that:” this is another way of making an error and represents that which offers the possibility of learning. Thusly, if it can be seen as “adventures in failure,” and if it can be seen that each failure inevitably leads to the attainment of goals that are deep within the desires of the soul stream of the entity, then it becomes easier to have compassion upon the self within its dream of personality and preference.” On June 24, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our soul stream:

But we may say in general that what you are seeing in these dark faces is portions of the incarnations of other incarnational forms of your soul stream. You have the experience of coming through all the densities up until this one. This includes the experience of being rock, sky, water, and wind. It includes the experiences of many inner-planes beingness energies which are spirits of rock, wind and fire, and so forth. You have experienced being trees, animals and plants. And there are energies within second-density nature, such as what this instrument would call fairies, gnomes, and trolls, for instance, where the by-play betwixt rock and animal is expressed.

As you look into the mirror and you begin to move into the vastness of your own experience as a soul-stream, that upon which you are working within this incarnation and at this moment creates the atmosphere in which you see certain aspects that are going to be helpful to you in your process on any of a number of levels that go on infinitely in the inner planes of your experiences.

The heart is the seat of and the portal to the truth of the self. The emotions are the fruit of great refinement through the turmoil and difficulties of turning catalyst into experience and the potential into the actual. It is a short lifetime in which to do such a thing. It is an adventure too great for skin and bones to hold it. The imagination of the entity within the human breast is stellar, star-like, infinite, eternal, and several magnitudes larger than life. Yet it glows within as if in a cave until the door is unlocked into the heart, and the self enters fully into the tabernacle of the one infinite Creator. Moving into the silence is like unlocking that door. Even stopping thinking is like picking the lock.

Thereturn to center is a journey from fear to love. When the sun is shining, and the pocket is plump with money, and the heart and the arm are full of love for a pretty girl or a handsome gentleman, when the breeze is fresh with the smell of spring flowers, such a state of mind as this instrument would describe as centered and joyful is easy to achieve. Yet it is as though the entity played upon the surface of the waves, enjoying the sunlight and basking in the graceful, ceaseless swells of the softly lapping waves. When the storms and extreme tides and waves of inclement weather stir the sea’s surface into spume, and spray, and destruction, the self must needs remove its body from the deeps and become a land creature again, seeking shelter from that which is too turbulent to enjoy. Blessed is that swimmer with the equipment to dive deep, deep under the storm, to the still, crystalline water that is under great pressure and moves only languidly even with the wildest storm upon the surface.

This circle was speaking of points of view. And the feeling and emotion and point of view of resting in the deep of the ocean and the stillness of the ever-moving sea is a helpful way to create a kind of icon on the desktop of being centered so that you may click on that image, and other images that you find instinctually, to create a sense of expansion, stillness, and peace. Every effort which is produced with the intention of opening the self to the one infinite Creator, of radiating more of the Creator’s Light and serving more and more as an agent of Light, is in itself the heart of the process of achieving the desired goal. Shall you achieve it perfectly within this lifetime? We would not wish to deny the possibility; though we may say that it is a possibility/probability vortex rather than a truth.

The energy to walk a path and to live a sacred life is as the energy of the deep ocean water, with little movement but great force. The peaceful soul is a soul resting in Love. It has no waves to buffet it, because it is protected by its position, just as the heart is protected within a heavy and very strong cage of rib and spine. The precious interior of the body is well protected, and the precious heart of the energy body is similarly loved. To allow oneself to feel the joy, and the passion, and the brio of one’s being is to dare great things. To do so with gentility and honor, with grace and with style is to shine up the armor of life. Rather than shrinking from pain of any kind, we do not say to dwell upon it, but rather to see it as a helpful friend, a sister or brother. You do not know why this friend is helpful; it may seem to be very, very unhelpful. However, the blasting of sand against rock creates the removal of grime and grit and the reappearance of the stone in all of its crystalline beauty, and so is the soul blasted to remove the grime of living, and learning, and failing. The storms come, and to all eyes which look upon the surface, the boat is crashed upon the rocks; the body is thrown into the turbulent and boiling waters; the life is extinguished. Those who are in the open heart simply dive with remembrance, with faith, and with joy, deep, deep into the waters that separate the mind from the heart, the storm from the stillness, the illusion from the truth.

Now Q’uo said that our heart is the portal to the truth of ourself, and our emotions come from the difficulties that we have in processing catalyst and turning it into experience, and we have a short lifetime in which to experience such an adventure that is too great for our skin and bones to hold it. Then Q’uo said that our imagination within us is star-like, infinite, and is larger than life and glows within us as if it was in a cave until the door is unlocked into our heart, and we move into the silence and tabernacle with the one infinite Creator. Q’uo went on to say that to return to our center is a journey from fear to love, and when the world around us seems  abundantly beautiful in every way that we can imagine, it is as though we are playing on the surface of a calm sea, but when the storms of extreme tides and inclement weather blow in we need to remove our body from the deeps of the ocean and seek shelter from the storms which are too turbulent to enjoy and then we become a land creature again. Q’uo continued by saying that our feeling of resting in the deeps of the ocean is a helpful way to create a kind of icon on the desktop of our being centered so that we may click on various images that we instinctually find to create a sense of peace, and every effort that we produce with the intention of opening ourself to the one infinite Creator’s Light and serving as an agent of Light is the heart of the process of our achieving our goal at some point within this life or, more likely, a future life. Q’uo said that the peaceful soul is a soul resting in Love, and to allow ourself to feel the joy and the passion of our being is to dare great things and to do so with  grace and style is to shine up the armor of our life, and rather than shrinking from pain of any kind Q’uo said that we should see it as a helpful friend even if we do not know why this friend is helpful, and it may seem to be very unhelpful. Q’uo completed their response by saying that: “the blasting of sand against rock creates the removal of grime and grit and the reappearance of the stone in all of its crystalline beauty, and so is the soul blasted to remove the grime of living, and learning, and failing. The storms come, and to all eyes which look upon the surface, the boat is crashed upon the rocks; the body is thrown into the turbulent and boiling waters; the life is extinguished. Those who are in the open heart simply dive with remembrance, with faith, and with joy, deep, deep into the waters that separate the mind from the heart, the storm from the stillness, the illusion from the truth.” On November 27, 1994, Q’uo spoke of how we may feel the joy of our being:

You each have chosen to be seeking within this incarnation. A destiny awaits you. Your choice of how to fulfill it is always your own, and upon that fathomless, directionless sea of consciousness there remains much confusion. Yet, the Love within others shines to light your way, and the Light which moves through you from the infinite One is a lighthouse to others. Your being, your essential self, is your main service to the one Creator and to all of those upon your planet.

As you enter this silence again and again, as you seek and seek again, you hollow out within yourself an ever smoother channel for Light, for Love, for the Creator, so that what is seen is not you but the Creator which shines through, and when those moments occur in which the self realizes that it has been that lighthouse, then indeed does that entity finally feel the joy of right vocation.

We would at this time transfer the contact to the one known as Jim. We thank this instrument for its service. We leave this instrument in the love and the light and transfer to the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time, we would inquire of the one known as B if there may be any further shorter queries to which we may speak.

B: Is S what’s known as my twin soul? Are we twin souls, her and I? How may I serve her highest good? Is it likely that love will bring us together in this present world?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There are some aspects of this query to which we may say very little, for we do not wish to infringe upon free will. Concerning the concept of love bringing together two souls to sing a song of service together, this is to suggest that that which has begun shall continue, and indeed this shall, in some sense. However, the exact configuration of this relationship is even now being turned, and we would not wish to interfere with that which is of perfection.

Concerning the previous portion of the query, we must pause that this instrument be allowed to go deeper.

[Brief pause for tuning.]

I am Q’uo, and we appreciate the aid from the one known as B. Will the one known as B re-vibrate the query?

B: Is S what’s known as a twin soul, and are we twin souls, her and I?

I am Q’uo, and we appreciate your restating of the query, for the portion which we had responded to was the portion dealing with this illusion in particular. The query referring to the concept of the twin souls is one which goes beyond this illusion and reaches into those timeless states where being is all and service is easy. We would suggest that these two souls indeed have found themselves within each other’s hearts and in this respect are twin flames of the heart energy, each expressing in a unique fashion that which is one and which has, through their mutual expression, become two.

Is there any further query, my brother?

[Side one of tape ends.]

B: There are moments of higher consciousness where I think I am piercing the veil, and I would like to know, are these moments more gifts or are they states of consciousness that are attainable? How may I best use these moments, and is there any kind of outer gift of service that I can bring out of them?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. We would suggest that these experiences of unity with the one Creator, the experience during which one feels great inspiration and such, may be likened to the stages of a journey, where there is a marker left on the trail by the self for the self, at certain times during which there is an opportunity for an increased level of service. Some may call this initiation; some may call this a reaffirmation or dedication. Indeed, there is a quality of a connection with unity which of itself will be made apparent through the life pattern and the energy exchanges that follow such experiences. For it is not possible to feel so inspired and aware and not be changed to a degree which will be noticed and be a means of service in itself, in that the light from within the soul shines forth in a nurturing fashion.

To most effectively utilize such experiences, it is necessary simply to open the heart and the mind as a natural portion of the daily round of activities in a fashion which says, “Here am I; what would Thou have’st me do?” When one is willing to serve in whatever fashion it is asked, then one has provided the channel through which any such energies as these of the enlightened quality may flow. Thus, to desire, to intend to be of service is all that is necessary, for the way shall be made clear how one is to serve when one clears the way to the heart and mind.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: Thanks, Q’uo, for this channeling You know I pore over your words almost daily. To realize my highest known desires, is it necessary that I change or purify my diet, and, if so, to what degree?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The degree of purification of one’s diet, of one’s thoughts, or of one’s actions is completely a function of one’s free will. As one wishes to increase the level of being with the knowledge that this quality informs all service, then it is well to take an action such as the one you have suggested, the improving of one’s diet, to serve as a training aid, shall we say, a function or an action in the physical world, which grounds the desires that are spiritual in nature so that the daily round of activities is informed by such inspiration, such desire, and such perseverance. Thus, it is completely a function of your free will as to how your personality sees such physical expressions of metaphysical principles. Trust your own heart, your own knowing of that which is appropriate. “Seek and you shall find,” it is truly written.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: Is it probable, after my work is accomplished in Ohio, that I might move or stay for a time in Louisville and/or Virginia, to help in whatever manner I can?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Again, we reach that point across which we do not wish to step, for there is infringement possible when speaking of this kind of future activity. May we simply say that all things are possible for one who desires to serve.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: Can you tell me what happens to me when I smoke marijuana? In December of 1998, the year I graduated high school, after much time spent smoking the substance, I found my body and mind reacting severely to marijuana. I became paranoid and self-doubting. My thoughts became jagged and conflicting. I couldn’t make sense of what was real and what wasn’t. My body reacted violently, shuddering sometimes, breathing with difficulty, heart palpitating, unable to interact with anything external, unable to think, unable to function. And every time I have tried to smoke it since, it has been the same experience, sometimes almost fighting for my sanity/survival.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are aware that there are certain, shall we say, parameters which have been drawn by your higher self in your pre-incarnative choices for this incarnation which were necessary in order to focus the considerable amount of spiritual energy that is available for your service and your learning. The desire was that there would be a near-complete reliance upon your natural ability to access this information without the use of any aid or crutch such as that which you have mentioned, the marijuana. Thus, we find there is a pre-incarnative choice that has expressed its qualities in your conscious and subconscious response to the experience you have described.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: I feel very scattered within my mind/body energy. I am either on one side of my head or the other, or in different focal points and twisting and turning, and I wonder, does the imbalance lie in my brain, in my body, in the chakra system? And how can I bring greater balance?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. To achieve the balance of which you speak it is well to engage in the meditative state once a diurnal period so that these various thoughts and directions of energies may find their true home. That is to say, as the energy of a spiritual nature, of which we were speaking in the previous query, begins to move through your physical vehicle, there are various, shall we say, distortions which may have an influence upon this energy, so that there is the shattering or the splintering of the integrity of the energy and the information which is available to you. If one is able to calm the conscious mind and present a cry, or plea for coherence, or centering, for the return to the foundation of one’s spiritual self, then these various thought patterns may, as the mud within a murky water, begin to settle, so that the water be cleared, that the sight be restored, and the vision made whole.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: You’re making a lot of sense to me, Q’uo. I was recently told by a healer that I had done physical and spiritual damage to my red ray and was wondering what steps I can take to heal and open that chakra again?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The practice of meditation, of which we just spoke, is again that which is working upon this same, shall we say, distortion, that has its effect in the randomization of the thought process. When you are able to feel at home in your body and in this illusion to a degree where you are ready to express the energy available to you, then you will find both the thoughts and the red-ray energy center will be easily discernable to you. And it will be far more easy to express any energy from any energy center. Thus, the practice of the meditation is that which, when done with the appropriate dedication of purpose, may become a healing for you that is reflected throughout your mind/body/spirit complex. The meditative state is much like the recharging of a battery and a reorganizing of its energy potential, so that as your desire taps this potential, there is useful work in the metaphysical sense.

Is there a further query my brother?

B: You know I’m kind of out. Would you have anything to offer, to say, advice on my work to come, my healing to take place up in Ohio, my interaction with my family?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would advise the worthy seeker to go forth in faith. All is truly well, and the Creator awaits the interaction of your love, as you express it, within your family structure. It is much like building a firm foundation for that which is to come. There is much potential. There is the positive direction. There is the realization of a few remaining stones necessary to place within that foundation and this work has begun apace. We say be of good cheer, go forth in love and rest in faith. All will be well. Your feet are firmly planted upon the path of seeking. Continue walking this journey with a happy heart, and with a willingness to accept all that awaits you.

Is there a final query at this time?

B: Surround Jim and Carla with a lot of love and light, and that’s my last request.

I am Q’uo, and we assure each present that as each seeks Light, the Light finds the seeker and there is an imbuing of the seeker with this Light, that it may be shared with others. So that each as a candle may alight the earth with the Light of Love and service to the one Creator, and each face that comes before the pilgrim on its dusty journey.

At this time we would again thank each present for inviting us to join your circle of seeking this evening. It is always a joyful invitation that we gladly accept. We remind each that we are available to help deepen your personal meditations when requested to do so. It is our honor and pleasure to join each in meditation to lend our conditioning vibration so that the meditation might be more stable. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group. We are those of Q’uo. We leave each in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I was on a podcast with Tom Morgan where we talked about the Telepathy Tapes and their correlations with the Ra contact in various areas such as the nature of the fourth density and the types of beings on Earth who are working for this graduation, positive and negative choices of polarity, social memory complexes, and the mystical nature of religions around the world that also reflect the perennial philosophy of the Law of One and the unity of all people.

This afternoon I took Bosco to the vet to have caps put on his rear claws that had come off because he tends to cause wounds under his ears by scratching them too much.

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

January 28

The Winter Of Your Soul

I am the spirit of God in Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

How easy it is in the wintertime to abandon the natural world as a source of inspiration, understanding, and joy. For your feet touch not the holy ground but, rather, the manmade floors of inner rooms. Your faces feel not the keen sting of cold winds except as you hurry from enclosure to enclosure. And you can hear not, through the thick windows that guard your heat, the many sounds of living creatures rejoicing in their lives.

So it is in the winter time that man does not emulate the tree which puts its roots down into the cold and frozen ground, trusting in the deeper waters of food, nourishment and nurture. For it does not seem that the Creator could possibly intend this season to be blessed.

Yet you, yourselves, are like a tree, and we urge you this day to plant your winter feet upon the frozen ground, trusting as you do so that the living energy of holy ground may, through contact, become yours, that you may have the sense of the dark and secret roots of winter trees gathering, in quietness, all those nutrients in preparation for the time when the soil shall be soft and the wind and sun gentle.

In winter you are a winter flower. Do not cut yourself off from the creation but rejoice with all that you are in the blessedness and sanctity of every portion of your environment, for you shall find strength from the knowledge that you cannot walk except in goodness and light.

May you have faith in the winter of your soul that all is well, that roots are moving down, collecting nourishment and preparing in timeless, steady fashion for the blooming of joy and beauty that shall come through you in the next springtime of your life cycle.

We wish you merriment and the thawing of the frozen heart, both this day and forever. Peace to you. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from December 8:

Q’uo, today we are just going to take potluck, and see what you would like to share with us that might have some use in our spiritual journey and our opening of our hearts to love.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. We thank each of you for laying aside the cares of the world in order to create this time of meditating together and seeking the truth. We thank you for calling for information that calls to us so that we may have the pleasure of sharing our thoughts and feelings with this circle of seeking. We ask, as always, that each takes what she finds to be a resonant and helpful personal thought or concept and leave any thought or concept that does not seem personally resonant and helpful behind without a second thought. We appreciate this discrimination on the part of all listeners, for this care upon the part of the hearer creates a freedom for us to share our opinion without being concerned that we might place a stumbling block in front of any. The nature of spiritual truth is such that it is not necessary to create stumbling blocks of dogma. It is our opinion that the truth, as it relates to an individual and to an individual process, is unique to that entity and to that entity at each point in time. Even for the same entity therefore at a different time, two seemingly disparate truths may appear equally helpful.

You have given us leave to speak concerning our choice of topics that might be helpful to your seeking and your opening your hearts to love, and we thank you for that marvelous freedom to paint whatever canvas that we can of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. What shall we draw with this day, my friends? Shall we choose the paint brush of the astilbe, and shall we remember with you all of the colors of the summer as we move the feathery flowers through the canvas of thought? In what colors shall we choose to dress truth and grace and beauty so that each may find a brother and a sister in those ideals, friends among the values of the seeking soul?

There is always a kind of feeling of hallowedness about the search for truth. It is as though there is a spiritual search that is created of the mettle and courage of the pilgrim upon the road, and the many different challenges and obstacles of that road are as the dragons of the time of mythology. One sets out upon a journey to seek truth, and it is a knightly and a noble pursuit. Very often we find that entities among your peoples do not see this same beau geste when they gaze at such concepts as beauty and grace, and yet how simply do concepts of beauty and grace fill the mind which is asked to open to those images that have been held close to the heart in memory, from those times of being vividly, deeply impressed by beauty in a moment, in a pose, in an attitude, in a scene that is perceived just once! How very often has each of you been stunned by the beauty of that which lies beyond the eyes of every day in the moments of the daily life that are so small and so unremarkable, yet which hold such a burden of beauty? And is there not truth in that beauty? As the poet known to this instrument as John said, “Is not beauty a kind of truth?”, and is it perhaps not easier to apprehend directly? These are the gifts of truth to fill out that range of options for those who seek truth. For within the seeking of truth in words there is many a harvest, yet always will those words create their own structures and delimit many aspects of the whole nature of truth from the ability of the mind to express.

We would suggest to this instrument that she gaze inwardly at a tree that she was remarking at upon a recent walk. This particular tree, with its precise angles of branch and its precise knottiness of twig, where leaves had been dropped and where leaves would again bud out in the spring. Each tree has its unique pattern, its unique expression of prayer, praise, and thanks. Each tree reaches to the infinite Creator in precisely such and such a way, and the shadows of light, as they strike and play with that particular form, create a system of truth, proportion, and elegance that has never been seen before and shall never again be expressed. Such is the dearness of beauty to the eye that is open.

There are many times when we see among your peoples a great feeling of unanswerable depth of confusion. There are many among your peoples whose experiences are at present somewhat overwhelming, and we would suggest that, in these times of increasing transparency to change, it is a very stabilizing and grounding thing, when such restlessness is perceived, to ask the self to look at the objects that lie about one in the natural arrangements of the everyday life: the shape of a tree, the lift of a bird’s wing, the direction of flight and the posture of its body; the images that meet the eye. All of them contain information. All elements of your illusion work together to form an infinitely responsive and self-correcting system of information that is helpful to the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical processes of all those within any given environment. It is quite possible, given that an entity is alone within its own space, within its own yard or ground, that each portion of the creation of the one infinite Father is more aware of that which is needed by the self than the self is, for each element of the creation of the Father dwells within an awareness that all energy is one and feeds within the same system. Each plant that shares space with you knows you, cares about your wellbeing and is aware even of the thoughts which you think. The only element within that natural environment of the third-density human self and its second-density surroundings that is kept from the awareness that all is truly one by the so-called “veil of forgetting”, as this instrument would call it, is that third-density element that creates an inability within the third-density entity to remember any environment except that local environment in which all entities seem to be separate.

The group question for this session was: “Q’uo, today we are just going to take potluck, and see what you would like to share with us that might have some use in our spiritual journey and our opening of our hearts to love.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that by taking potluck on the question for this session that they would share information about our spiritual path of opening our hearts to love and speak about some facet of the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator, and they considered some possibilities such as the beauty of the astilbe, the flowers of summer on the canvas of thought, or the colors of truth, grace, and beauty so that each of us could find a brother or sister in those ideals among the values of our seeking souls. Q’uo went on to say that there is always a kind of feeling of holiness about our search for truth, and it is as though our spiritual search is created out of our courage as we travel our spiritual path, and the challenges and obstacles of our path are like the dragons of the time of mythology where we set out upon a  noble journey to seek truth, and often we find that entities among our peoples do not see this same beautiful journey when they gaze at such concepts as beauty and grace, and yet the concepts of beauty and grace fill our mind when it is asked to perceive those images that we have held close to our heart in our memory from those times of being impressed by the beauty of the moment or in a scene that we have seen only once. Q’uo continued by saying that often each of us has been stunned by the beauty of that which lies beyond our eyes in our daily life that are so unremarkable, yet which hold such a great beauty, and they asked is there not truth in that beauty? They said that: “these are the gifts of truth to fill out that range of options for those who seek truth. For within the seeking of truth in words there is many a harvest, yet always will those words create their own structures and delimit many aspects of the whole nature of truth from the ability of the mind to express.” Then Q’uo suggested to Carla that she gaze inwardly at a tree that she was talking about on a recent walk because this tree had its unique pattern that expressed praise and thanksgiving, and that all trees reach to the infinite Creator in a certain way, and as the shadows of light play with that particular form they create a system of truth and elegance that has never been seen before,  and shall never again be expressed, and such is the dearness of beauty to the eye that is open. Now Q’uo said that there are many times when they see among our people a great depth of confusion that is overwhelming, so they suggested that in these times of change becoming more transparent, when we feel restless that we can ground ourselves by asking ourself to look at the shape of a tree, the flight of the bird and all images that we see because all elements within our illusion work together to form: “an infinitely responsive and self-correcting system of information that is helpful to the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical processes of all those within any given environment.” Then Q’uo said that it is possible that if we are alone within our own space of yard or garden that each portion of the creation of the one infinite Father is more aware of that which we need than we are because each element of the creation of the Father dwells within an awareness that all energy is one and feeds into the same system so that each plant that shares space with us knows us; and cares about our wellbeing; and is aware of our thoughts; and the veil of forgetting is that part of our being that keeps us from realizing that all is truly one so that we are only aware of our local environment where all entities seem to be separate. On May 23, 2009, Q’uo described the purpose of the veil of forgetting:

You are a certain creature, my brother. It is an excellent creature. You chose to come into third density with its veil of forgetting, specifically because in matters of metaphysical and ethical choice it would throw you completely upon your own assets of faith, hope, and charity. You did not come into third density in order to overcome third density. You came into third density to dwell within this illusion and to serve the one infinite Creator.

Have you had to claw your way into an increased awareness of what lies beyond the veil? We think not. We believe that the moments in which you have penetrated the veil are many and they are to be appreciated. Nevertheless, my brother, were you to dwell without effort beyond the veil of forgetting within third density, you would immediately obviate the advantages of living by faith alone. When you choose within this veil of forgetting to turn toward Love, to live Love, and to be Love, you have done so against resistance. And in meeting and working with this resistance, you have tempered your soul and have done the work which you came to do.

Thusly, my brother, we would say that it is not a matter of infringing upon the free will of another that keeps you from being able to dwell in third and fourth densities simultaneously. Rather it is the nature of third density that it takes an effort of will, of memory, of desire and of spiritual maturity to live by fourth-density values and to act as if there was no veil.

The search for truth, like the search for self, is difficult to pin down, and we are aware of the previous question of the one known as C, “How do I know when I am being most deeply my self? What direction do I go to find a deeper and truer expression of self?” In a world in which entities are simply told how to behave, we believe that this is a most reasonable query, for it is a hallmark of the attempt to create comfort by third-density entities that they would seek, when creating for themselves standards of morality and ethical behavior, a list of desirable elements rather than an open-ended attitude of discovery. The explanation for this way of proceeding to find the self by consulting an outward list of attributes is indeed perhaps the more valued of your so-called parental ways of teaching virtue to the young and growing soul of the child. The virtues are taught as a list: be patient, be open, be loving, share everything, and so forth, the common suggestions for good behavior as each child grows.

Thesearch for self is far more like the search for beauty in that there is no search precisely but rather the opening of the awareness and the realization of the nature of that which one has already been looking at without much comprehension. May we say that it is our opinion that the self that is most deeply true is a variable value depending upon the precise placement of the seeker’s mind, and will, and desire at the moment of awareness. Perhaps at one point that awareness might be very close to the gateway to intelligent infinity as that person drifts in meditation on a sea of peace and silent fullness. At another point, an entity may be totally focused upon some difficult task, and every nerve may be strained simply to do that one task well, and, in expressing the excellence of that effort, the resonances of beauty explode out of each atom of that moment of intense effort. When the self can feel self being, it is an event that is real beyond the ability of any, the self or an observer, to describe or to identify that which has been realized. When an entity feels beauty, it is simply there. It does not have to be explained. Indeed, it cannot be explained.

How to see what each entity sees is a very difficult subject to examine. The techniques vary considerably from sensibility to sensibility. This does not keep one’s perceptions from being very important nor does it keep them from being, no matter how confusing, vulnerable to the essences available through direct apprehension of beauty. So perhaps we would suggest, in seeking truth, in seeking the self, to lift from the literal seeking of that which can be said about the self, that which can be said about truth, and rather find the light and satisfaction in those moments of self-awareness when the heart can feel itself beating, loving, caring, hating, despising, being attracted to, when the self can feel its movements with clarity. In those moments, step back an instant and behold the beauty, the colorfulness, the articulation and the nuances of the one infinite Creator expressing just now, just so, and only because you are where you are, as confused as you happen to be and with all things precisely as they must be for this moment of beauty to burst into the awareness with its present, its gift, of gem-like truth wrapped up in the colors and textures of a whole and undivided moment.

Then Q’uo said that the search for truth, like the search for ourself, is difficult to pin down, and in a world where we are told how to behave, when we wonder what direction we should go in to find deeper expression of ourself, it is worth considering because it is a sign of our attempt to create comfort that we would seek a list of desirable elements rather than an open-ended attitude of discovery, and it is the more valued of our parental ways of teaching virtue to a young child  that are taught as a list: be patient; be open; be loving; share everything. Q’uo went on to say that the search for ourself is like the search for beauty that rests in opening our realization of the nature of that which we have been looking at without comprehending it, so Q’uo said that it was their opinion that our self that is most deeply true is variable and depends upon the precise placement of our mind and will at the moment of awareness, and at one point our awareness might be very close to the gateway to intelligent infinity as we experience meditation as a sea of peace and fullness. Then Q’uo said that at another time we may be focused upon some difficult task and doing that task well, and then the resonances of beauty explode out of each atom of that moment of our intense effort so that when we can feel  our self being, it is an event that is real beyond the ability of our self or any observer to identify that which has been realized, and when we can feel beauty, it is simply there, and it cannot be explained. Now Q’uo said that how we can see what each entity sees is a difficult subject to examine because the techniques vary according to our sensibilities, but this does not keep our perceptions from being important or vulnerable to the means by which we experience beauty, so Q’uo suggested in seeking truth and in seeking ourself that we attempt to find the light and satisfaction in those moments of self-awareness when our heart can feel itself  loving and despising, and we can feel our movements with clarity, and in those moments we can behold the beauty and the nuances of the one infinite Creator expressing just now, just so, and only because we are where we are as confused as we happen to be and with all things as they must be for this moment of beauty to burst into our awareness with its gift of truth wrapped up in the colors and textures of a whole and undivided moment. On May 4, 1986, L/Leema spoke of the nature of this moment of beauty for each of us:

To live absorbed in, rejoicing in, and giving thanksgiving for each moment of beauty, love, and glory—for glory there is, all about you and within you. It is the glory within that causes your peoples to seek some way of finding, exploring and expressing that articulated glory which, though gushing like a geyser from the deepest portions of being, comes into consciousness with a demand to be articulated. It is a rare being who can consciously love and serve the Creator without some structure. This is, however, by no means impossible, and, indeed, there is a minimum of distortion involved in the patient returning again and again to the daily practice of meditation and to the persistent analysis of one’s own being, for it is within you and within each of you that the consciousness you seek lies, that the foreverness for which you hunger and thirst is seated.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known at Jim, so that we may respond to any remaining queries in the minds of this particular group. We thank this instrument for its service and leave it in love and in light. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time, it is our privilege to ask if there may be any further queries that we may attend to at this session of working.

Carla: I have one from B, Q’uo. He says that he’s very interested in knowing if the great horned owl that has been living in his family’s backyard for quite a long time now, has a relationship with him and his mom or might be helping him and his mom in their spiritual seeking.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. In this case we would suggest that the entities involved, the one known as B, his mother, and the creature known as the great horned owl have all found the area in which they live to be helpful in the nurturing of the life experience. The owl feeds upon the small creatures which inhabit this wooded area, and the one known as B and his mother are also most appreciative of the beauty of this place and the enhancement that the spirit feels in such beauty. As each spends time with each, there is a shared relationship that is developed. However, the conscious intent is that of the one known as B and the one known as his mother, leaving the choice of the area to these two entities. The great horned owl has found this area to its liking and is willing to accept the human intruders, shall we say.

Is there another query to which we may speak?

Carla: Well, just to follow up on that, then, if they asked mentally, if they projected a request to this owl for a relationship of that inner type, would that second-density creature respond? Is it just waiting to be asked, or is it simply an owl that’s hunting food?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Your latter query is more to the point. Is there another query?

Carla: Yes, I’d also like to ask a question from C, and she would like to know anything that you could tell her about the members of the Confederation and where they might come from.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator are from this one creation that each experiences. However, we are aware that a more specific location has been requested, and we would suggest that we have come from many points within your, what you call, galaxy. Most are beyond your current technology’s ability to perceive. We are joined in the desire to be of service to those who call for our aid so that it is the call that is important, not the placement in time or space nor the distance, for in seeking we are sharing steps on a journey with you. There are vast numbers of inhabited planets within your galactic system. The number is large enough to be meaningless; thus, it is well to see the entire creation as alive and intelligent and able to respond to those life forms which move through it.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: No. I thank you on behalf of C and also on behalf of B.

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to you and to these entities as well, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and, as it appears that we have exhausted the queries for this session of working, we would take this opportunity to thank each present once again for inviting our presence in your circle of seeking this day. We are always most happy to join you there. At this time, we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group. We leave each in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed and some cat food. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Pepsi-Zero and some hair thickener.

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

January 27

Beyond Reason And Comfort

I am the Spirit of the consciousness of Love, the creative principle of the universe and all that is manifested within it.

To deal with words is to become involved in overstatement and understatement, both of which are unavoidable. And to seem to be rational is a situation we must endure. For the Spirit of mighty Love is anything but rational. And its strength lies not in man’s ability to reason it out but in the ability of spirit to gaze beyond the reason of man.

Thus, it will sometimes seem to you that the Spirit is a harsh and unforgiving voice and is perhaps more interested in enriching negative experience than in offering ease and comfort. Yet to be a Comforter is to seek hard times and hard decisions and then to invest such with the consciousness of Love. For it is not in comfortable times that a Comforter is needed but during the transformation of difficulty.

We ask you, then, to ask of the spirit not “Why?” but “What?” and “How?” For though we shall not be the voice of reason to you, yet shall the comfort which we do offer be more precious to the seeker than rubies and gold.

In peace we leave you, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 27:

The topic is: What will be happening physically and metaphysically in 2003 and what spiritually oriented people should be doing and thinking about in order to cope with these things?

Questioner: The first question is, who exactly is Q’uo that we are speaking to, and how does the communication process through Carla work?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we are. We are those of Q’uo and are aware of your question. We communicate with this instrument by means of this instrument’s pathways which she has opened within her energy body in order that it may receive messages in a more direct link from those universes which exist beyond the subconscious, of the inner or metaphysical world that dwells within your human brain. We and many other voices reside within that universe and are drawn to help those upon your sphere who are seeking for truth in the way that we might be able to be a resource, for like draws to like, and many are the channels among your peoples who receive various of these voices, depending upon the tuning, shall we say, or the resting balance of energies of that particular instrument.

We were called to this group this evening by this instrument, who asked for the highest and best contact that she may receive in a stable and conscious manner in the name of Jesus, the Christ. Then the instrument called mentally for a contact of this nature, challenging us when we responded in the name of that which she holds dearest and highest and that is, for this instrument, Jesus, the Christ. We are those who are able to say that Jesus is Lord, for this entity, yourselves, and we all retain from the beginning of that which is infinite the holographic spark of the one great infinite Creator. We have, in the processes of evolution, eventually experienced that which is the consciousness known as Jesus, the Christ or the Christed One. We have found that epitome of fourth-density unconditional love to be the redeeming quality that will create within entities the vibration which focuses the seeking soul towards a graduation from third density into fourth density.

It is, at this time, the graduation day, shall we say, for approximately the next decade of your years. Therefore, this instrument is very open to working with us, for this instrument feels also that the voices of universal guidance, shall we say, are helpful to any who wish to experience them and certainly for the next decade. It is well to attempt to aid those who are working spiritually in this way towards a graduation in terms of service to others and unconditional love. This quality of Christed consciousness is that which the one known as Jesus, the human, wore and became in his selflessness and in his offering all for the sake of others. And this Christed consciousness awaits those who would seek further in the ways of spiritual solutions. Therefore, this instrument was able to make contact successfully and to assure herself that the contact was that which it stated that it was.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Questioner: What has Q’uo’s experience been in the evolution through the cosmos? Was there a third-density experience that was experienced?

We are those known to you as Q’uo and are aware of your query, my brother. The Q’uo principle is made up of three entities: one of fourth density, the identity being that known to this instrument and this group as Hatonn; one from fifth density, that entity being the one known as Latwii; and one from sixth density, that entity being known as Ra. These three social memory complexes comprise this voice. The entities are of this galactic system. One of the entities is of the energy known as Venus, the other two experienced third density within other star systems. All experienced third density in a unique way, each in their own refinement of that experience. Each has had a markedly easier third-density experience than those of your particular planet. This is because the planet of which you are a part has been peopled with those who have been repeating this grade; some of them since before the last seventy-five thousand-year cycle. This is a particularly confused group of entities whose great length of experience has not yet brought them to a clear choice amongst all the variations from service to others to service to self and so they go swinging back and forth in a random and unfocused fashion. The lack of will amongst those of your peoples can be traced to this history of many, many incarnations which, in some, have not added either to graduation in the positive sense or graduation in the negative sense.

We hope to increase the harvest by sharing such information as we can to those who would wish to hear it. In giving you this information, we would ask that it be stated clearly within your article that we are not those of authority but rather those who come in the name of the one infinite Creator. We can offer our opinion as those who walk upon the same road, that path which is the way, the Tao. And we can share our opinions as we go, but we ask that each who considers these thoughts choose only those amongst these ideas which resonate deeply within, so that it feels as though each is remembering rather than learning. Those things which do not resonate we would ask that you lay aside and forget, for information is everywhere and in every moment, and if that which we offer is not timed right for you for now, then we ask you to let it go, for we would not be a stumbling block before any.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Questioner: Could you explain what you mean by graduation and harvest?

We are those of Q’uo and are aware of your question. All are familiar with the concept of the harvest, and, in this instrument’s long experience in her fifty-nine years upon your planet, she has focused attention upon the teachings that are contained within that which is called your Bible. Within this particular book, the image of the harvest has an especial meaning, for the one known as Jesus in his teachings is said to have offered a story concerning the harvest. Indeed, this entity offered many teachings concerning the harvest. In the case of these teachings, all was offered in story and in image, for this messenger of the harvest came two thousand or so years before the actual shift of the planet itself into another density of experience, another area within space/time in the great spiral of the galaxies about the central sun.

The central thrust of the metaphor of harvest for the one known as Jesus was that the fields were white with the crops, and all was ripe and ready to be harvested but that there were not enough workers for the harvest, and there was a call for those who followed this teacher to take up the honor and duty of attempting, each in her own way, to add to the possibility of awakening those blooming and ripened souls that are the pride and the product of 75,000 years of learning, so that they might make that last step over the line, from a faint-hearted will to serve the cause of love, to a passion and a fire to serve in a very focused and loving way for the good of the self those about the self and the planet itself.

Indeed, in one of the other stories about the harvest, this entity suggested that laborers went into a vineyard to harvest grapes and worked most of the day, and there were those who came very late in the day to working upon the grapes, yet, at the end of the working day, all were given the same coin. This is true of the harvest as well. It does not matter when in the 75,000 years of learning the awakening and realization of the true nature of the self occurs, it matters only that it occurs. The one known as Jesus the Christ was the first of the messengers of that which is to come and that which is already here in part: that being the age of unconditional Love that is fourth density, that is the very nature of the lesson of third density. Graduation occurs when the heart is able to remain open, in more than half of the circumstances of life, to the welfare, happiness, comfort, safety, and service of others. The heart needs to be awakened and inflamed with the desire to know the truth that lies within the open heart. By keeping the heart open, the learning process is greatly enabled for the seeker, and, by attempting to serve others, the eyes of Love begin to be given reason to open.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Questioner: If you need to exemplify unconditional love in order to make the harvest or to graduate, how do you overcome the negative patterns in oneself that keep you from doing that?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your question. We would first suggest that the process not be thought of as overcoming but rather balancing and moving deeper into the nature of the true self. The self may be seen by the self, and the self may find itself helpful if it is able to retain an objectivity concerning the incoming data which it is receiving.

The very heart of third-density existence is the experience of utter confusion. It is the goal of this density to create an atmosphere in which only by faith can one see the health and rightness of the present moment. The purpose of this confusion is to wean the infant spirit from its biological choice-making brain and into the fourth-density gateway, shall we say, which is the fourth chakra of the energy system of the human vehicle, the green-ray energy center or heart chakra. Once the seeker is able to grasp the value of this opened heart and the limitations of both intellect and personality, the seeker is far more able to retain a certain sector of consciousness which is devoted to refining the accuracy and lack of emotional bias with which it receives the incoming information.

We would suggest that the biological mind has as its purpose the protection and the survival of the organism, and in order to adapt to its circumstances, from its very beginnings in the second-density kingdom of the great apes, it has prospered because of its adaptive nature. Once this occurs—this opening of the heart—once this inner ear is able to begin suggesting to the consciousness as a whole when it is biasing its incoming information, then it becomes far more possible to detect within oneself the triggers that create confusion beyond the necessity of the incoming information.

Even before the birth of an entity, it begins to be acculturated, and very rapidly the process of acculturation, even in childhood, creates a pattern of misperceptions based upon this information passed on by parents, friends, teachers, and others about the young soul entering this illusion through the door of birth. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to undo in a literal sense the learning experience that helps create distortion. We would not suggest that entities attempt to eliminate distortion, for distortion is not a pejorative term but rather a descriptive one. The first distortion of the infinite Creator is the Free Will, the second is Love, and the third is Light, these being the first three and primal values of this particular system of discussion of the mystery of the one infinite Creator.

Does this answer your query, my brother?

Questioner: It looks like our planet is moving into a very difficult time of negative experience. How can one who wishes to graduate into the fourth density cope with what’s occurring now and what will occur in 2003?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Firstly, we would say that the physical manifestations of political intrigue, unrest, terrorism, and war are as they are and are the natural outworking of the processes of graduation in which entities who have chosen the path of service to self are attempting to graduate with the same devotion and focus as those attempting to graduate in the path of service to others. The situations, we would suggest, are in the hands of all of those who understand and realize that they are citizens of eternity who came here to learn and to serve and who wish to go on to learn and to serve, for that is the desire of the upward-spiraling cells of each entity and each atom that exists within the physical and metaphysical universes.

We would suggest that the self be attentive. The responsibility of the open heart is to love unconditionally that which it sees and to see each and every thing and person as the self or a part of the self. In times of disquiet and conflict, entities are offered a sharpened opportunity to behold the shadow portion of the self, the wolf that bites at the heart within. This forthcoming year may contain disquiet. We can only encourage each to open the arsenal of inner and outer gifts towards the third-density situation, finding ways to respond appropriately in service to others as inspired and as able.

The enjoyment of the Light of fourth density is dependent upon being able to move into a state of consciousness in which all other selves are seen as the self and all crimes and achievements are seen as a portion of the universal self and to move that 180 degrees until the self is seen as all things and as the Creator. That unification of consciousness opens the self to loving and being loved in a way that the body loves itself rather than the way entities who are separate units love each other.

Each is unique. We do not presume a high mentality, but rather we suggest that, at the subconscious level, all entities within creation are already one, and therefore the process of moving from third to fourth density in part consists of accepting the oneness at a level which has moved into the belief and perception system of the entity. This biases the conscious entity towards retaining the attitude of unconditional love and outgoing radiance of being at times when there is a perceived threat. The one known as St. Francis of Assisi is said to have called the fire, Sister Fire and the pain, Brother Pain, seeing that all things and qualities are a portion of one infinite creation. In each culture, there…

[Side one of tape ends.]

We are those of Q’uo and are again with this instrument. We were speaking to the concerns in a metaphysical sense of the upcoming year, and we were pointing out the enhanced ability of those who remember the mechanism of confusion which is covering the deeper essences of that which is occurring in the infinite play of consciousness.

Questioner asked: “It looks like our planet is moving into a very difficult time of negative experience. How can one who wishes to graduate into the fourth density cope with what’s occurring now and what will occur in 2003?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the physical manifestations of political intrigue, unrest, terrorism, and war are the natural processes of graduation for those who have chosen the path of service to self just as those who seek to graduate in service to others have the same kind of devotion to their path as citizens of eternity who have come here to learn and to serve for that is the desire of the upward-spiraling cells and atoms that exist within the physical and metaphysical universe. Then Q’uo suggested that we should be attentive to open our hearts to love unconditionally all that which we see and to see each and every thing and person as  a part of ourself because in times of conflict we are offered the opportunity to see the dark side of ourself that bites at our heart within, and the coming year may contain many difficulties, so they encouraged us to open our inner and outer gifts to meet all of our third-density situations by being of service to others. Q’uo went on by saying that: “the enjoyment of the Light of fourth density is dependent upon being able to move into a state of consciousness in which all other selves are seen as the self and all crimes and achievements are seen as a portion of the universal self and to move that 180 degrees until the self is seen as all things and as the Creator. That unification of consciousness opens the self to loving and being loved in a way that the body loves itself rather than the way entities who are separate units love each other.” Q’uo said that at the subconscious level, we all are unique and are already one so that the process of moving from third to fourth density requires that we accept our oneness at a level which has moved into our systems of belief and perception because this biases us towards expressing unconditional love whenever we perceive a threat to ourselves. Q’uo went on to say that St. Francis of Assisi called fire, Sister Fire and pain, Brother Pain, and saw that all things and qualities are a portion of one infinite creation. In each culture, there…

[Side one of tape ends.]

We are those of Q’uo and are again with this instrument. We were speaking to the concerns in a metaphysical sense of the upcoming year, and we were pointing out the enhanced ability of those who remember the mechanism of confusion which is covering the deeper essences of that which is occurring in the infinite play of consciousness. On December 21, 1975, Hatonn spoke of the nature of our systems of belief:

We ask that you consider your environment at this particular time, the darkness and the chill of winter. How many hours have been spent in darkness and cold? Think, my friends, of the true nature of that which is unfolding within one of your religious systems of belief. There is a story that is told that is a true story, the story is of a child born in the darkest winter. Poor, cold, hungry, the child that grew to be the master whom you know as Jesus. My friends, each of you is waiting to be born. Each of you is in the dark, in the cold. For it is within the darkness and the chill that all things come together to be born. It is the nurturing, saving darkness. And the chill is necessary. And with meditation, my friends, you nurture and comfort that soul within you as it struggles towards its spiritual birth.

We would suggest that the coming year is one in which there is an occurrence that is ongoing, and cyclical within that ongoing unity, which is as if there were a ratcheting up of the density actually experienced by those among your peoples at this time. These movements began long ago and are increasing in their frequency as the clocklike motions of planetary movements spiral this planetary sphere into the vibrations of fourth-density time/space and space/time. The mismatch in vibration between fourth-density space/time and those who live and dwell within the third-density, choice-making brain is increasing, and it is becoming more difficult to feel comfortable. This experience of discomfort is markedly increased by the toys and gadgets of those among your peoples who are indeed of service to self. These toys include your popular media and the various products of your peoples’ service-to-self intrigues. These two factors combine to offer to the third-density entity a remarkably increased experience of rush, stress, uneasiness or even depression.

For those who are awake, the mismatch has a different effect. The attempts to keep the third-density heart open within incarnation are reliably imperfect. However, the sheer desire to keep that infinite Love flowing through the energy body has a tremendous impact upon the time/space, rather than the space/time, universe. Within that universe, intentions and ideals are things. Consequently, even though the entity has been thoroughly imperfect in keeping the heart open, the intent, repeated and repeated without tiring, to return to a state of openheartedness allows the entity to respond to the fourth-density portion of the vibrations by seeking them, and, in so doing, the entity moves into its needed next healing crisis. Many times, these crises are emotional and expressed through emotional, what this instrument would call, conditions. Many other times, there is the actual difficulty with the physical vehicle or other effects which vary with the reactions of the individual to the increased density of Light and the imbalances within that entity’s energy system.

The goal, then, is not perfection but rather that sturdy returning and remembrance of unconditional Love. That is the nature of the one infinite Creator, and that nature permeates and fills the universe that you are aware of and all that you are not yet able to measure. Indeed, the very space that has so long been considered a vacuum is far more intensely packed with the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator than the atoms of what you perceive as matter.

Then Q’uo suggested that the coming year is one in which there will be a ratcheting up of the third-density energies that will be experienced by the population of Earth, and this movement of energy began long ago and is increasing in its frequency as the clocklike motions of the planet spiral into the vibrations of fourth-density time/space and space/time, and the mismatch in vibration between fourth-density space/time and those who live and dwell within the third-density and the need to make choices is increasing, and it is becoming more difficult to feel comfortable. Q’uo went on to say that this experience of discomfort is increased: “by the toys and gadgets of those among your peoples who are indeed of service to self. These toys include your popular media and the various products of your peoples’ service-to-self intrigues. These two factors combine to offer to the third-density entity a remarkably increased experience of rush, stress, uneasiness, or even depression.” Q’uo continued by saying that for those of us who are awake our attempts to keep our heart open within our incarnation are imperfect, but our desire to keep that infinite Love flowing through our energy body has a tremendous impact upon the time/space universe, rather than the space/time universe, and within the time/space universe our intentions are things so that even though we have been imperfect in keeping our heart open, repeating our intentions to keep our heart open allows us to respond to the fourth-density portion of these vibrations by seeking them, and in doing this we move into our next healing crisis which can be emotional or a difficulty with our body which can vary with our reactions to the increased density of Light and our imbalances in our energy system. Q’uo completed their response by saying that our goal is not perfection but remembering unconditional Love because it is the nature of the one infinite Creator, and that nature of Love fills the universe that we are aware of and all that we are unaware of, and the very space that has so long been considered a vacuum is far more intensely packed with the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator than the atoms of what we perceive as matter. On August 12, 2007, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the time/space universe:

What shall be your responses this day to the thoughts you think, to the people you meet, and to the situations which you address? That is your area of creativity. It is a good thing to focus upon the fact that you are all creative. How can a creator not be creative? Therefore, create your creation consciously and do not be dismayed that the outer world does not seem to reflect your creation.

In the world of spirit, in the time/space universe, you are the citizens of eternity, even while within the world of space/time and incarnation. That which you create is powerful. And as you understand that, you can link up with those who are of like mind. Even at great distances you can continue to create light.

This instrument was speaking earlier in this weekend of being instruments, receivers, and emitters of vibration. And so, you are in the unseen realms. And we encourage you to think of yourselves as lighthouses. It is said in your holy work, “Do not hide your light under a bushel but place it on a lamp stand where all may see it.”

Does this answer your query, my brother?

I am Q’uo. We would suggest that the prophetic information is that which would detune this contact to the extent that we would not be able to speak through this instrument. The response must begin, therefore, with our note that we do not feel it to be possible to speak specifically upon such subjects without infringing upon free will. We again request simply that each be aware that there may be opportunities to serve in ways which are not presently obvious. The situation as it develops will far better be served by the focusing upon the steadfastness of faith that all is well and that all will be well.

We ask each, brothers and sisters: is it well to dwell on anything in fear when the matter with which each concerns itself helps to shape the future? Is it well, then, to dwell on danger even by way of preparing for it, or is it better to dwell in a universe in which there is no danger and thus affirm that which you wish and desire? The way that entities speak to themselves creates an amalgamated future in what you term consensus reality. Therefore, any attention paid to survival beyond the usual preparation for your power outages and so forth is a way of expressing fear.

There is no portion of the creation which can be labeled safe nor is there any which can be labeled unsafe in terms of the continuation and the thriving and the progression of consciousness. There is no danger; the physical illusion is an illusion. The harvest is only physical in the sense that it is creating effects upon the surface of your planet because of the decidedly lagging vibrations of the third-density population which is creating a kind of resistance of the incoming density. The Earth is, as a planet, as Gaia, far into its labor, and it needs the pouring of light into that which this entity calls the Christ grid, and which others have called the fourth-density grid or the ascension grid.

This is the true emergency. In a planetary situation such as this, our focus and perhaps any of those thinking metaphysically is upon the softening of the labor of planet Earth in Her harvest and the increasing of the harvest of souls from this many-times repeated cycle of greed, rapacity, and war. May we say that the sum total of this tack of defense and aggrandizement is the production of fear and pain. These emotions are as food to negative entities which from the fifth-density level are inspiring and activating the tendencies towards extremist belief systems and the “eye for an eye” point of view of justice. Those who would serve at this time may well attempt to ameliorate the third-density consensus reality, and we encourage those who would attempt to help. The attempt to save the self is one which moves from fear, and we would suggest that this is not a position from which to achieve a truth. Following truth leads to the heart of self, and, in the heart of self, the identity is as one with that which animates all things rather than being overly concerned for the physical vehicle. We do not suggest that entities be careless but rather that they respond appropriately as occurrences develop, meanwhile refusing to burden the pathways of the mind with fear-based concerns.

Questioner: Can Q’uo give any prophecies as to what actually might occur, so people could prepare themselves mentally and spiritually to handle it? Q’uo began their reply by saying that to give prophetic information would detune this contact to the extent that they would not be able to speak through Carla, and their response must begin with a note that they did not feel it to be possible to speak specifically upon such subjects without infringing upon free will, so they requested that each of us should be aware that there may be opportunities to serve in ways which are not presently obvious because the situation as it develops will be better served by focusing upon the steadfastness of faith that all is well, and that all will be well. Q’uo continued by asking each of us if we felt that it was well for us to think about anything that was in our future in a fearful or dangerous way, or was it better to see that we live in a universe in which there is no danger because what we think about, we will bring about in the consensus reality. Q’uo went on by saying there is no portion of the creation which can be labeled safe or unsafe regarding the progression of our consciousness because we live in an illusion, and the harvest is physical only in the sense that it creates effects upon the surface of our planet because of the unawakened vibrations of its population which create a resistance to the increasing fourth-density vibrations, and our Mother Earth is now in Her labor and needs us to pour our light into the Christ grid. Then Q’uo said that this is the true emergency, and in this situation they suggested that we focus upon the softening of our Mother Earth’s labor and in the increase of the harvest of souls from the repeated cycles of greed and war which have caused fear and pain that are food for fifth-density negative entities use to continue to activate tendencies for war, so Q’uo encouraged us to attempt to aid the third-density consensus reality by seeking the heart of ourself and identifying with all things and people rather than being overly concerned with our own bodily survival. On April 7, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the heart of ourself:

This is the journey my friends, to move to the center of the heart, which would seem to be a quick and easy journey. For do you not carry it with you? Oh, but, my friends, this is the infinite journey, for are you not all things and are you not the one Creator? So, when you seek the heart of Love, you seek the heart of self, and you contain and express the heart of self in ways which even you do not begin to understand. Have faith, my brothers and sisters, for this is a journey that you each are well set upon. There shall be difficulties. There shall be challenges. How else shall you learn that which you do not know? But if you have faith and continue with a strong will, you shall find the heart of yourself and the heart of the one Creator in the same place.

Information will come by many messengers: that which is seen, that which is read, that which is heard, that which moves before the vision of bird and beast, wind and rain. The process of true knowing comes to one through one’s own systems of guidance from within that universe that dwells in that shadowy ocean of your brain cells which opens a gateway to an infinite universe that is the true place where each lives.

Consider, if you will, that the entity which is watching that which is upon your television is observing a virtual reality. In just such a way, distortions in the infinite Love and Light of the Creator are, when picked up on third-density’s physical channel, translated into this particular channel of existence. At the same time, each entity dwells within the corresponding metaphysical universe. The physical death is the movement from a heavy, chemical illusion to a less distorted and non-physical universe. There is no discontinuation of being. However, each did move into incarnation at this time not to save the self but to reach out a hand to others so that, as each hand reaches out, hands begin to connect, and entities begin to hope in a focused and harmonized manner, becoming part of the rhythm and flow of the very appropriate and necessary changes that are occurring within your planet at this time.

The harvest can truly be greatly increased at this time, because so many entities here are just a tiny step from awakening so that we feel that there is a real possibility that, working increasingly in harmony, light centers such as this one and all positively-oriented groups upon your sphere may begin to look less like solitary lighthouses and more like big cities. The grid of fourth density may be seen as formed by the joined hands of all positive people and all joined hearts as well. In terms of aiding your planet, the seeking entity may look at the globe, and behold many places where the life forces are weak, places that are barren and unfruitful. These are places where there needs to be a strengthening or a tweaking, as this instrument would say, of the grid.

Entities may at any time choose to become radiators of unconditional love to the grid simply by intending to do so and moving into a state of meditation. The process of sending this light forth is one of intending to. There are visualizations which aid in this sending of light for some, such as the visualization of violet light being sent or the visualization of the planet with light streaming into the grid and the grid lighting up. We would note that your scientists have discovered this grid, among others, and therefore there is a panoply of sources which entities may find which offer information of a linear kind concerning specific portals and grid points which this entity has no language for discussing. However, it is not necessary to know the grid’s makeup in order to aid by the very being of the self within the open heart.

Now Q’uo said that: “information will come by many messengers: that which is seen, that which is read, that which is heard, that which moves before the vision of bird and beast, wind and rain. The process of true knowing comes to one through one’s own systems of guidance from within that universe that dwells in that shadowy ocean of your brain cells which opens a gateway to an infinite universe that is the true place where each lives.” Then Q’uo said that the images on our televisions are like a virtual reality and are similar to when we perceive distortions of the infinite Love and Light of the Creator, and we translate them into our third-density existence so that each of us lives within the corresponding metaphysical universe where our physical death is a movement from this heavy chemical illusion to a less distorted non-physical universe, but there is no discontinuation of our being. However, Q’uo said that: “each did move into incarnation at this time not to save the self but to reach out a hand to others so that, as each hand reaches out, hands begin to connect, and entities begin to hope in a focused and harmonized manner, becoming part of the rhythm and flow of the very appropriate and necessary changes that are occurring within your planet at this time.” Q’uo said that the harvest can be increased at this time because so many entities are ready to awaken, and they can work together in harmony in light centers so that they become cities of light, and the fourth-density grid will be seen as being formed by the joined hands and hearts of all positive seekers to be of service to our planet, and each seeker may look at the planet and behold many places where the life forces are weak and unfruitful, and these are places where there needs to be a strengthening of the grid. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that we may choose to become radiators of unconditional Love to the grid simply by setting our intentions to do so and then moving into a state of meditation and using visualizations such as the visualization of violet light being sent, or the visualization of the planet with light streaming into the grid and the grid lighting up, but the most important aid comes by the very being of ourself within the open heart. On May 20, 2001, Q’uo spoke of the value of light centers:

Carla: S phoned one in and he asked about light centers around the world such as Mt. Shasta, Sedona, Machu Picchu, etc., and what their significance might be.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. These areas which have been described as centers of light have an influence upon those who are sensitive or psychically aware, shall we say, in that these centers or areas are both located at points of intelligent energy ingress and have the advantage of attracting seekers for many of your years. These centers then are steeped in those energies which are transformational in nature. For the intelligent energy that is sent by your sub-Logos, the sun, makes its way into the Earth sphere through various vortices that are distributors, shall we say, of this energy that the entire population of the planet shall eventually be able to partake of their transforming nature. These vortices are in a regularized grid. Where there is an intersection of these lines of force there is formed a vortex that is an opening for such energies to be easily assimilated into the Earth’s mantle. Entities who are sensitive to such energies oftentimes gravitate to these areas in order to feel more of the pulse of life, shall we say.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Questioner: What’s the best way to align one’s own energy centers to the Christ grid? How do we visualize it in order to send energy to it?

We find that this instrument grows weary. We are those of Q’uo, and we will make this the last full query of this session. This instrument is familiar with the writings of the one known Drunvalo Melchizedek, and we would say that the attempt to follow the exercises within that particular book having to do with the activation of the Merkabah make up a system whereby an entity may harness and discipline the wandering mind within ritualistic mental activity which tends to open the energy body. There are as many ways to open the energy body as there are inspirational experiences. The mechanical ways of opening the heart such as that of the one known as Drunvalo have as their burden the form and outerness of step one, step two, and seriatim, the list beginning and ending.

There are many suggestions of such rituals of opening the heart, and we would encourage entities who seek such to search the information available for such suggestions. For ourselves, our suggestions are more along the lines of that ineffable and spontaneous expression of joy and thanksgiving which each has experienced in ecstatic moments. We bring to this instrument’s mind the experiences of the bonding of a man and woman in love, the bonding of friendships, the discovery that one loves one’s work. Such feelings open the heart by their very nature. Beauty, when perceived purely, opens the heart totally.

Therefore, what will open the heart for each seeker is unique. For this entity, it is the returning again and again to the table of Jesus the Christ to take into herself that very being which this entity views as unconditional love. This entity is in ecstasy as she hears the central words, “Do this in remembrance of me,” and to that, this instrument replies mentally, “I will remember, Lord.” For another, the opening of the heart may involve the beauty of a song, the flight of a bird, the odor of a rose or the abstract dwelling upon an idea. Each entity’s place of balance is different.

However, all have in common the need to open the heart, but not from a careless or unprepared position. When the heart is asked to open, first we ask each to ask their energy body to come into balance, to open, and to be unclogged. The simple asking of the mind to the self to take care of this aids in the ability to move into that state of consciousness which is the inspiration of Love, the passion of right livelihood, or the firm settling upon that which is highest and best for one. These feelings of realization of the nature of the self and the nature about the self greatly aid in the opening of the heart. Certainly, anything which seems inspiring and resonant may be trusted by the discrimination of the entity.

The suggestion with which we would close is that we would ask each to remember that spiritual evolution is a process of change. Change is, by its nature, a condition which biases the consciousness towards discomfort. The more work one does in consciousness in a day, the faster the metabolism of the consciousness rises. It is as though an entity were exercising muscles. It is well to seek using measured times of meditation especially if such practice is being done is solitude. In groups, it is much more safe to meditate for longer periods, and we would certainly suggest that entities in groups are more powerful magnetically than by themselves.

We suggest a gentleness with the self, for the first self which must be loved in order to love others as the self is the self, and it is the hardest of selves to love, for the secret thoughts of the self are known. We would ask that each attempt to keep the light touch, being passionate and fiery as a lover in pursuit of the truth of the one infinite Creator and of the nature of the deeper self while being able to keep the light touch with the surface of the illusion, not disrespecting or dishonoring its importance but recognizing that illusion is involved in the information that is being offered.

We thank the one known as W and the other members of this group for calling for our presence at this somewhat unusual session. We have enjoyed meditating and sharing our vibrations with your own, and we thank each for the sacrifices of time and energy which each has made in order to carve out this time of contemplation and questioning. We leave each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai vasu.

This morning Anna and I synchronized our computer to listen to Carla channel Ra in Session #63 where there was information about how to help Carla deal with psychic greetings, entities with dual-activated bodies incarnating on Earth, wanderers, and the nature of vital energy.

This afternoon I cleaned Benny’s apartment by using the carpet sweeper on the rug in the hall. Then I swept up the kitty litter in the room where she has two litter boxes and stays most of the time. Then I used the dust mop in all three room and the hall.

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

January 26

Discrimination

I am the consciousness of Love, the full principle of the creative love of Jesus Christ, the exemplar to a torn world of the whole and shining garment of Light that is the creation.

Many false prophets have spoken and been heard throughout the ages of humankind and many now are among you. We who wish to create opportunities for enhanced growth of Spirit within the hearts of all people wish nothing more than to join hands and hearts in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ for the transformation of your rounded world into a sphere which manifests the Light which lies within it.

Yet would we rather urge discrimination of the most fastidious kind than acts of faith without judgment. For though we do not ask that you judge your actions or those of others in such a way that you cripple yourself with guilt or anger, nevertheless we do request that the full use of your powers of discrimination be used in listening to any words, however wonderful the source may seem. For if we have miracles between our lines, that shall become apparent to you who ponder these poor thoughts which we offer in the service of Love.

May you go your way in peace, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 24:

Our question today, Q’uo, has to do with the devas in the, shall we say, astral world, the devachanic realms. We would like for you to give us some information about the inhabitants there. We are aware somewhat that there are angels of a very high order, there are regular spirits that are associated with the natural world, the spirits of fire, of water, of earth, of air, and we are certain that there are others as well. We would like for you to give us an idea of the kinds of entities that inhabit the devachanic realms.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose name we serve. We thank you each for creating this space in this day of rest to have this session of working and especially so since we realize the many demands upon the time of each of you. We thank you for your dedication to seeking and your generosity of spirit. And we thank you for sharing your meditation with us; it is a great privilege to be with you. As always, we ask that you use your discrimination in listening to what we have to say, recognizing and resonating to those thoughts that appeal to you and leaving the rest behind.

This day, your question was somewhat mixed in that we are aware of various names for various of the creatures about which you have asked, and we are also aware that, in terms of the terminology of this area of discussion, the naming of some beings is not consonant with the naming of other beings in terms of the astral and devachanic planes, which are only a small part of the inner planes. However, we assume that the question was intended to be general and to speak of the inner planes in toto as opposed to two of the seven. Indeed, our discussion would be very much the same. However, we would not be talking about the wide range of non-human entities that inhabit the great range of inner planes that is local to this particular sphere of your Earth.

Our answer depends upon an initial awareness concerning the nature of the Creator and the creation. This nature is such that, as this instrument was told by the one known as David, the matter which has been considered by those among your people called scientists for some years as a vacuum has been proven now by your scientists to contain more energy by far than the energy which is released both from within what you call matter, such as your bodies, or any atom that can be split. The unpotentiated, resting energy of the creation is so powerful that the power released in your hydrogen bombs is very small in comparison to the power that could be released from undistorted, unpotentiated time/space. When there is the creation within third density of life forms such as yourselves, there is an entry into a world of limitation and polarity.

Within the inner planes of third density, however, this limitation is not there, for the inner planes resonate within the energy of the planet itself which creates, at the moment of its beginning, all of the planes in completion as a pattern which, through the illusion of space/time, seems then to begin to appear and to develop and so forth. This again, in the visual world, is one of the limitations of your space/time. The conditions in time/space are quite different, and consequently there is not the bar against remembering and being completely aware of the metaphysical nature of what this instrument would call a deeper reality and the passing nature of all things which participate within this world of life and death. The energy of, say, the tree or a person may be seen in the context of this deeper reality as a minor distortion in the flow of unpotentiated time/space. The illusion that is so pointed and so emphatic to the physical eyes which you enjoy is in fact very little different from, but quite pointedly different from, unpotentiated time/space.

Thismeans that each being of third density has, barely leashed within her energy system, the ability literally to move mountains or to make any physical changes by consciousness alone that her imagination and will can focus upon to a great enough extent, with great enough purity of desire and with a great enough sense of purpose. The limited intake of information within third density is that limitation which affects the conscious mind. It does not affect the subconscious mind except in the higher levels of the subconscious mind. Therefore, it is seldom that entities do see those beings of the inner planes with their physical eyes. Indeed, most of those who do see the inner planes entities while conscious are those who this instrument would call children, those who have not been trained that such things are impossible to see.

Further, there is the necessity for retaining an unprovability about all such beings that would increase a third-density entity’s faith. In matters of faith, and in spiritual matters in general, there is a great desire not to infringe upon the free will of any entity who is within third density specifically to make choices. Now, with this view of the third-density situation and the situation of third-density biological units such as yourselves, it is perhaps easier to see that the vast array of very real and very substantive intelligence and spirit that the energy of the one infinite Creator possesses almost bursts out of each tiny nook and cranny of each distortion.

The group question for this session was: “Our question today, Q’uo, has to do with the devas in the, shall we say, astral world, the devachanic realms. We would like for you to give us some information about the inhabitants there.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they were aware of various names for the devas and creatures that were asked about, and they were also aware that the naming of some of these beings is not consistent when speaking of the astral and devachanic planes which are only a small part of the inner planes, so they assumed that the question was intended to speak of all of the inner planes instead of just two of the seven so that their discussion would be much the same except they would not be talking about the wide range of non-human entities that inhabit the great range of inner planes that is local to planet Earth. Q’uo went on to say that their answer depended upon our knowledge concerning the nature of the Creator and the creation, and this nature is such that our scientists have discovered that what had been considered to be a vacuum has now been proven to contain more energy than that which is released from within matter or any atom that can be split, and the unpotentiated energy of the creation is so powerful that the power released by our hydrogen bombs is very small in comparison to the power that could be released from undistorted, unpotentiated time/space so that when there is the creation within third density of life forms such as ourselves, there is an entry into a world of limitation and polarity. Q’uo continued by saying that within the inner planes of third density this limitation [that is caused by the veil of forgetting] is not there, for the inner planes resonate within the energy of the planet itself which creates, at the moment of its beginning, [of the octave of densities] all of the planes/densities in completion as a pattern which, through the illusion of space/time, seems then to begin to appear and to develop and so forth. This again, in the visual world, is one of the limitations of your space/time [because of the veil of forgetting]. The conditions in time/space are quite different, and consequently there is not the bar against remembering [because there is no veil of forgetting in time/space] and being completely aware of the metaphysical nature of what this instrument would call a deeper reality and the passing nature of all things which participate within this world of life and death. The energy of, say, the tree or a person may be seen in the context of this deeper reality as a minor distortion in the flow of unpotentiated time/space. The illusion that is so pointed and so emphatic to the physical eyes which you enjoy is in fact very little different from, but quite pointedly different from, unpotentiated time/space. [Q’uo seems to be saying that our illusion that is in space/time is not different from unpotentiated time/space and also quite different from unpotentiated time/space, and I cannot make any sense out of that!] Then Q’uo said that each of us within the third density has the ability to literally move mountains or to make any physical changes by consciousness alone that our imagination and will can focus upon to a great enough extent, with great enough purity of desire and with a great enough sense of purpose, but the limited intake of information within third density is that limitation which affects our conscious mind, but it does not affect our subconscious mind except in the higher levels of the subconscious mind, so it is seldom that we see those beings of the inner planes with our physical eyes, and most of us who do see the inner planes entities while conscious are those children who have not been trained that such things are impossible to see. Now Q’uo said that it is necessary that the existence of such beings not be able to be proven because this means that we will have to increase our faith that they do exist, and when it comes to faith and spiritual matters in general it would infringe on our free will in making choices if we knew that such beings existed, so: “with this view of the third-density situation and the situation of third-density biological units such as yourselves, it is perhaps easier to see that the vast array of very real and very substantive intelligence and spirit that the energy of the one infinite Creator possesses almost bursts out of each tiny nook and cranny of each distortion.” On May 15, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the nature of inner planes entities:

But you have picked up many entities from the inner planes, as this instrument would call them, who have been attracted to you because of the beauty of your hope and faith, or because of the kind of mission that you came into incarnation to pursue, or for any of a number of other reasons, resulting in the opinion of inner-planes entities that you are a person that they would like to help. They range from tiny children who simply want to help you find lost things to the most wonderful and complex personalities, masters, gurus, or entities of that type from various of the inner planes that have been drawn to you because they feel they might be able to prove to be a resource in your own process. Some of these entities have names. Some of them are simply energies or essences. Some of them speak in ways such as we do, in concepts which come up through the subconscious mind. Some of them speak through coincidence, birds, animals or street signs, using your environment to find ways to communicate a word, or a concept, or a feeling with you. Some of them speak to you in sleep and some, such as we, are there during meditation if you ask us to join you so that we may deepen the stability of your basic meditative state.

Life calls to life, and life within third-density space/time calls to life within the inner planes; the inner-planes life calls to and seeks to serve third-density space/time beings. The nature of angels is not qualitatively different from the essence of beings such as faeries, pixies, Puck, Robin Greenfellow and all such kindly and jovial spirits, and then moving to the devas within all living things of second density and all of those elemental energies of earth, air, wind, and fire from first density. All of these energies may be seen either as focused energy that is attracted, as if by a magnet, by certain states of mind in space/time, or they may be seen as intelligences which are drawn by likeness of interest or likeness of vibration into a harmony and an association. Each of you being a significant though small distortion within the time/space and space/time continua, you naturally, by your very existence, draw energy and intelligence from the inner planes.

Because of the limitations of the space/time mind or intelligence of third-density entities, there is always the tendency to set the same conditions upon other life as are experienced by the life of the self. This has created through many centuries the naming of vast panoplies of beings of a certain order. For instance, as the one known as V has pointed out, there is a very careful and very large order of various types of angelic beings. There are in other systems of myth and magic many names for inner-planes guides, many names for nature spirits, many names for elemental spirits. They are essences which are beyond the naming much as you yourselves are essences beyond the naming, because they have not any relationship whatsoever with space/time, being completely creatures of thought. They are moved by thoughts. Being creatures of energy, they are moved by energy. The details of desire within third-density beings do not concern those beings of the inner planes that wish to interact with humankind. As much as the energy behind the desire for a particular thing, it is the intent, the purpose, the aim that attracts like energy for inner planes work.

When you wish help, the only bar to that help is the lack of solid knowing that help is available. It is much more difficult for inner planes entities to aid humankind if the human is not aware of or calling upon that help. Consequently, we encourage each never to spend the time wondering if such help is available. In our opinion, the universe is literally bursting at the seams with energy and information, and all of it desires to be known; all of it desires to be used. It is at the point of reception by the third-density biological entities that the problems occur. A large amount of help goes unused because it is unasked for and unregarded. Much help from the higher angelic realms is only available to those who ask, for as the energies become more refined and the intelligences more full of the infinite Creator, there is an increasing responsibility for preserving the free will of the fragile, third-density human entities who are moving through this choice-making density.

How greatly each entity’s guidance system wishes to help! We give this instrument the image of a dozen angels sitting all about the living room on curtain rods and windowsills and the tops of bookcases just hoping and waiting to be asked. The nature spirits and elementals are not concerned with the infringement upon free will, because they are called only by those who know that they are possible: either those whose faith has not been tested at all, such as the smaller children, or those whose faith has been tested and has been tempered in the fire so that there is a knowing that this aspect of intelligence and energy within things exists.

Then Q’uo said life calls to life, and the inner-planes life seeks to serve us within the third-density as do the angels whose nature is not qualitatively different from the nature of beings such as faeries, pixies, and devas within all living things of second density and all of those elemental energies of earth, air, wind, and fire from first density. Q’uo said that all of these energies may be seen to be attracted by certain states of  our mind in space/time, or they may be seen as intelligences which are drawn by like vibrations into an harmonious association with us, and each of us is a significant distortion within the time/space and space/time continua, and we naturally, by our very existence, draw energy and intelligence from the inner planes. Q’uo went on to say that because of the limitations of our space/time mind there is always the tendency for us to set the same conditions upon other life forms that we experience, and over many centuries this has created the naming of many kinds beings of a certain order such as various types of angelic beings, or in other systems of myth and magic many names for inner-planes guides, many names for nature spirits, many names for elemental spirits, and they are essences which are beyond the naming because they have no relationship with space/time since they are creatures of thought which are moved by thought; and they are creatures of energy moved by energy; and the details of our lives within the third density do not attract these beings to us because they are attracted by our conscious intentions. Q’uo continued by saying that when we wish help, the only bar to that help is the lack of our knowing that help is available because it is difficult for inner planes entities to aid us if we are not calling for that help, so Q’uo encouraged us never to spend the time wondering if such help is available because in their opinion the universe is literally bursting at the seams with energy and information, and all of it desires to be known and to be used. Then Q’uo said that it is at the point of the reception of these energies by us in the third-density that problems occur, and a large amount of help goes unused because we haven’t asked for it since it is only available when we ask for it. They said that as these energies become more refined and the intelligences more full of the infinite Creator, there is an increasing responsibility for preserving our free will as we are moving through this choice-making density. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that our guidance system has a great desire to help us, and if we could see them there would be a dozen angels sitting all around us just waiting for us to ask for their help because they are not concerned with infringing upon our free will since they are called only by those who know that they are possible: “either those whose faith has not been tested at all, such as the smaller children, or those whose faith has been tested and has been tempered in the fire so that there is a knowing that this aspect of intelligence and energy within things exists.” On February 12, 2011, Q’uo described the variety of angels that we can call on for help:

You have angels at the level of Creator, and you have angels at the level of personal angels. You have everything in between. They carry responsibilities according to their hierarchy. What makes angels unique is that they have never left the vibration of the Creator. They have never departed from the one original Thought of unconditional Love. They have never incarnated, and they never will. While they have characteristics that can seem to be like a personality, to say that angels have a personality is to anthropomorphize incorrectly.

Angels are Love. Angels are Love responsible for realms in a hierarchical manner. There are those which work with your sub-Logos, the sun, in creating the archetypal mind and the blueprint for the densities in this particular creation. There are angels who are attracted to vibrations and flock to those whose vibrations are beautiful to them. You may not feel beautiful, dear ones, especially when you are struggling, yet to those who vibrate in unconditional Love, the qualities of one who is seeking to learn and to serve are irresistible. It takes a great deal of courage to persist in a spiritual preoccupation, and each of you is very beautiful to us and to the angels.

There are two basic energies which angels have to offer. One is the simple energy of Love itself and the other is a feeling of safety, which could be called a healing energy. Both of those aspects are the resources which angels have to offer. Angels also have connections with the four elements and the four directions  so that as you become more and more aware of the correspondences between certain archangels and certain energies, certain powers, and certain directions, you become more able to cleanse your habitation or the area around you with the help of the archangels.

There is another class of angels that is indeed angelic and yet these angels have had incarnations. Those are the entities who have chosen to be angels but were not angels from the Creator. Yet between incarnations it became apparent to these souls that the work that they wished to do was angelic. And so, these entities were incarnated and lived for a short time on this terrestrial ball you call Earth. And then, seemingly far before their time, they were taken. Instead of moving into the healing of the incarnation and the choosing of another incarnation, these particular entities move into the angelic realm. They are able to become angels because of their innocence within incarnation. These little ones are especially fond of those whose hearts are open and are very grateful to rest in that open heart that will accept them.

We would at this time transfer this contact from the one known as Carla to the one known as Jim, for we feel that this question has perhaps been discussed as much as we can discuss it before there are further queries to focus or refocus our discussion. Consequently, we leave this instrument in love and in light. We are known to you as Q’uo.

Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. May we ask at this time if there are any further queries to which we may speak?

T: If one wanted to ask for help from a particular angel or from the elementals, how would one go about protecting oneself and trying to be sure that you are getting positive, Creator-oriented help?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would recommend that the petition for assistance be made while in the meditative state. In this state, you may communicate that which is your heart’s desire most clearly to those whose ears and hearts are inclined to a call for service. As you issue the call, having centered yourself and having made known that which is your desire in asking for assistance, then we would suggest the engaging of a period of silent meditation wherein you would wait for a contact and assistance, shall we say, that is communicated to you through your feelings, through images, or through intuition. Then, when this contact is perceived, you ask kindly but firmly if it comes in the name of… and then you would supply that quality, entit,y or concept which is sacred to you, be it Jesus, the Christ, the Christ Consciousness, the positive polarity, any of the various saints who have made themselves known as intermediaries in these kinds of situations, and so forth. When you have received an affirmative reply, then you may know that you have made contact with an entity which is both willing and able to assist you in the manner that you desire.

Is there a further query, my brother?

T: No, not from me, thank you.

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

Carla: I’d like to follow up. When I was channeling before, I was getting this image of the energies that are a part of everything that you can imagine. I was thinking that we’d get some kind of way to tell what was from first density, what was from second, and third, and so forth in terms of the inner planes, and I was getting the impression that all of these carefully written down things that various monks and various people have seen through the centuries and written exhaustively about are actually very biased material in terms of culture and so forth, and that was why they wanted to stay completely away from the forms, because these energies, although they would take any form that was comfortable to you, it wouldn’t be their real selves. Is that an accurate perception. Is that why you didn’t want to be more specific?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister, and you are quite correct, for each culture contains biases and indeed within many cultures, there are various teachers, gurus, masters, etc. who have had experience with these types of energy essences and beings of Light and who have given them names that are either culturally biased or personally significant and which do not translate well into another culture or experience. Thus, we thought to remain in a general fashion of description so that there could be a transmission of information that was hopefully free of unnecessary distortion that would be confusing.

Carla: Yes, thank you.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

V: I’m not exactly sure how to phrase it, but the source of the question came from my meandering thoughts regarding that particular kingdom or realm, and I would like to know, Q’uo, if you could speak on the origin of those they call the archangels. I know that in general you did give a very good description of the entities themselves. I’m trying to get more specific with those entities that have been labeled archangels and even individually named with, you know, particular names such as Michael, Gabriel, etc.. I guess what I’m trying to establish or figure out is, how does one maintain or even initiate a relationship or even a conversation with such beings?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. One begins to speak to such a being from the center of the heart. It is well to enter into the meditative state or that which is centered in contemplation and prayer and to offer that which is the heart of one’s concern in an open and, shall we say, somewhat dedicated fashion. The dedication of which we speak is that kind of dedication that does not seek a certain outcome but seeks to be of service in a pure and helpful manner.

Thus, as you would begin to open yourself to such communication, it is well to prepare oneself by personal efforts in the way of prayer, analysis of one’s own needs and abilities and a beginning realm, shall we say, of consideration of the desired outcome so that there is both a focus for the petition and room within it for the appropriate response. Those whom you have called archangels are those whose desire to serve is not only deep and firm but is practiced and experienced. These are entities who have taken responsibility for a greater portion of your creation than most and who have for many of your millennia been able to offer themselves in a manner which has realized that which you would call success in that they have taken—and this instrument laughs—under their wings a great deal of responsibility and who have done so with a great deal of compassion.

Over seventy-five thousand of your years ago, this particular planetary sphere was placed in what you would call a quarantine, for there have been many entities needing to be moved to this sphere from other third-density spheres that were completing their third density and who had populations of mind/body/spirit complexes that were unable to proceed into the fourth density and who needed to repeat the lessons of third density. They were transferred to this particular sphere by a variety of techniques, some of which were seen at a later time period to have been infringements on free will. Thus, it was necessary to guard this free will as the various populations of recycled third-density planets were added unto this particular third-density sphere. Thus, there was the need for a great deal of care in the overseeing of this process of the beginning of the third density of this planetary sphere, for there were many souls of various origins who would need to be protected, shall we say, to be placed in a certain situation that was designed to allow a balancing of distortions.

Thus, there were many hands and hearts engaged in this effort, and there were those who were willing to take the responsibility for a large part of this process, and they were given not only this responsibility but were given the positions that you would see as the angelic realm and the—we correct this instrument—and those who would guide this process in a kind of continuous consensus in the direction of energy expenditure.

Is there a further query, my sister?

V: Yes, and I apologize for lengthening this contact. I have one last question, and that is if you would speak to the understanding or belief that, at one time or another, humans have actually joined with angels, I guess, in a mating fashion, if you will; that there have been instances where there were offspring as a result of humans and angels coming together, and there have been statements made at one time or another, “Oh, this person or that person came from the angelic kingdom,” and, “That person or this person has that particular energy within them.” Can you speak to that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Many of those of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator have been in various forms throughout their history of contact with the population of this planetary sphere. Many have been taken or perceived as being angelic, for indeed their vibrations are similar, and there has been, as we alluded to in the previous query, the transition to this planetary sphere of various other third-density populations seeking to repeat third density in a manner which you would see as the sexual reproductive engaging of energies. This in particular was one of the primary reasons that the quarantine of this sphere was put in place, for there was the changing of genetic codes in order to assist the learning of spiritual lessons that was seen at a later date to be an infringement upon the free will of those with whom the mating occurred.

Is there another query, my sister?

V: No, thank you. That really clears up a lot. Thank you.

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

[Tape ends.]

This morning I re-recorded Chapter 16 from The Crucifixion of Esmeralda Sweetwater. Now that all the re-recording is done, I hope that the audiobook will be available in the next few weeks.

This afternoon I vacuumed the first floor of my home a day later than usual because yesterday was just too busy for me to do my regular vacuuming.

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

January 25

Dance Upon The Road

I am of the consciousness which is the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in divine Love.

The far country beckons! The mystery retreats! The road calls the weary pilgrim forward, and a new day dawns!

Let this day be the day the pilgrim kicks off the dusty shoes and dances upon the road. Let the heart be merry and light, for within winter’s dimness of day and length of night much is occurring within the body of your planet which shall be cause for great rejoicing.

Similarly, each careworn seeker is gestating within the Christed self that is born within those seeds which shall, in good time, bear fruit.

It is not necessary to await the length of days, the summer’s sun, and the visible harvest, to rejoice in the fecundity of the earth and the perfection of the process of growth. Similarly, rejoice in the process of growth within yourself and be merry this day.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 8:

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We greet you in this novel way of meeting as a circle of seeking, and we thank you for the great privilege of being called to this circle to join your meditation, to plumb those questions which you would ask with those responses which we may feel free to offer, knowing that each will listen with the greatest discrimination to those humble thoughts that we may share. For we are not those who constitute an authority, but rather we are those who are pilgrims upon the path which is the path which you also walk. And in the way of things, like calls to like, light calls to light, and the forces of life call to those who love life those aspects of the self that move from positions within the future of the self which offer guidance, what this instrument would call wisdom.

We greatly appreciate the energy exchange and the commonality of tuning that creates this particular group. We only ask that our thoughts be considered with a jaundiced eye, removing and rejecting those things that do not ring absolutely true, walking ahead without looking back, knowing that the precious burden is that which resonates, that which is helpful, not in the future and not in the past with respect to authority but rather in the very infinity of the present moment.

We would at this time, with this assurance that we will not abridge free will by those things that we share as opinions, request the central query of this particular working.

Carla [Repeating the question from B, who is calling on the telephone.]

“From my exposure to the situation here, I’m thinking that the harvest may be small, and I’m wondering if a motion picture that talks about the harvest might actually be helpful in increasing, at least potentially, the harvest size. If that is so, would it be more helpful to have a screenplay which dealt directly with the harvest, or would it be more helpful to deal with it indirectly through the growth and the learning of the characters, the story that they tell? That is the initial query.”

We are those known to you as Q’uo, and we are again with this instrument. We thank this instrument for retuning and refining the calibration of the tuning to recreate the original vibration, for that is indeed the comfortable vibration for this particular group of three. We would like to parenthetically note that it is very helpful to have arranged so carefully for this meeting in that the tuning of this group is excellent, and we appreciate the effort that each has put into removing this time from the experience within consensus reality so that that which lies within the inner realms may be shared not only within the subconscious area of awareness but, to some extent, in the language of words.

Firstly, we would state with simple clarity that in all cases it is completely up to the creator of the service as to the nature of that service, and the choosing of each aspect moves not within the values of the world but in the metaphysical value of the feel or the integrity of the artistic work which is the sincere and openhearted attempt to create that art form which remains within that ambience which is as the interdisciplinary tour de force or exercise in that mixture of wit and inspiration that creates that which is more than it seems.

The first portion of the question has to do with the possibility that the very public repetition of this body of basic information concerning that time of harvest which is occurring as we discuss it would be an efficacious service, and we can say that it is almost completely a matter of the point of view of the responder. It is our bias to say that it will make a difference, because we find ourselves most sympathetic to the agony of your peoples. We would greatly love to enjoy the experience of the peoples of your planet catching fire for love and becoming empowered once again to be warriors for the Light rather than against the darkness. It is very tempting and perhaps indeed efficacious to use the blunt instrument. The question then becomes creating the gem that has so many facets within that context.

Similarly, the, what this instrument would call, snob appeal, indeed the aesthetic high road, of writing is to stay within the infinite art of story and, by developing utterly spontaneous and gripping versions of those soul streams with which you are familiar and placing them into the environment which is enchanted with the soul of the story, embody forth the information in a way that is as the rapier rather than the mace but perhaps, in pinking the truth, moves to the heart of that truth and of those watching the story unfold, thereby creating an even more persuasive body of work which basically, within this question, is being considered as a kind of propaganda or persuasive information.

May we say that it is very easy to become cynical when one is aware of the cheap tricks of any trade. This instrument, for instance, became extremely depressed and disappointed when she first sang the Missa Solemnissai by the one known as Ludwig. The material was ungrateful to the voice, hastily done, and full of the panoply of the tricks of the trade for playing upon the emotions of the audience. It was, as this instrument perceived it, disgustingly effective. It took this instrument much time to forgive the one known as Ludwig for creating as this entity was wont to create. It took even more time before this instrument was able to appreciate the one known as Ludwig’s music once again, as listening to the impression of the music rather than the skeleton of it.

It took even more time before this instrument was able to appreciate the one known as Ludwig’s music once again, as listening to the impression of the music rather than the skeleton of it.

Realize, as the artist who deals with a certain genre, that there are limitations to the genre and that these in a metaphysical sense have no emotional charge but simply become that which describes the body of consideration which feeds into the conscious part of a subconscious process of creation in which that which is dark of the self and that which is light of the self combine in a desire to create and to express the self in such a way that the whole self is used. We do not see within our own system of judgment any reason to indicate any bias towards either the blunt instrument or the rapier. We feel simply a complete faith that those involved in such a labor of love shall find a way with that moment-by-moment guidance which never fails. There are times when that guidance does not move quickly, yet always it moves surely and in its proper time.

The first question from B was spoken over the telephone: “From my exposure to the situation here, I’m thinking that the harvest may be small, and I’m wondering if a motion picture that talks about the harvest might actually be helpful in increasing, at least potentially, the harvest size. If that is so, would it be more helpful to have a screenplay which dealt directly with the harvest, or would it be more helpful to deal with it indirectly through the growth and the learning of the characters, the story that they tell? That is the initial query.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they wished to be clear that it is up to B to create the type of storyline that has a spiritual theme rather than one of a worldly nature, and this should be done in a sincere and open-hearted way that would have the flavor of combining wit and inspiration that results in a work of art that is more than it seems. Q’uo continued by saying that B’s creating a movie about the time of harvest would be a helpful service, and they also said that it was B’s point of view that he shared in the movie that would make a difference because Q’uo felt very sympathetic to the agony of the people on Earth, and that they would love to see the people of Earth catching fire for love and becoming warriors for the Light rather than against the darkness although it could be helpful to use the blunt instrument that would partake in creating a gem that has many facets. Q’uo went on to say that writing a movie with a high set of principles and staying within the art of the story to create characters that B was familiar with, and putting them into situations which were enchanting with the heart of the storyline, would share information in a way of using a sharp-pointed sword rather than a can of mace but perhaps in slightly altering the truth it would move to the heart of that truth and into the hearts of those watching the story unfold, thereby creating an even more persuasive body of work which is being considered as a kind of propaganda or persuasive information. Now Q’uo said that it is very easy to become cynical when one is aware of the cheap tricks of any trade, and used the example of Carla becoming very disappointed when she first sang the Missa Solemnissai by the one known as Ludwig Van Beethoven because it hurt her voice and was full of the various tricks of having music affect the emotions of the audience, and it was disgustingly effective in doing so, and it took a while before she could forgive Ludwig for his song, and it took even more time before she was able to appreciate the one known as Ludwig’s music once again as she began listening to the impression of the music rather than the skeleton of it. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that any kind of artist will discover that there are limitations to its style of art that have no emotional charge in the metaphysical sense but simply describe the body of information which feeds into the conscious part of a subconscious process of creation in which the dark and light parts of the self combine in the desire to create and to express the self in such a way that the whole self is used, and Q’uo said that they did not see within their own system of judgment any reason to indicate any bias towards either the blunt instrument or the sword, so they said:  “We feel simply a complete faith that those involved in such a labor of love shall find a way with that moment-by-moment guidance which never fails. There are times when that guidance does not move quickly, yet always it moves surely and in its proper time.” On September 26, 2009, Q’uo described how we can become a part of a labor of love:

We realize that the demands of a job are such that there are many times when one must do that for which one was employed, even though one has only half a heart for the task. In the best of all possible worlds, however, my friends, you would be able to collect yourselves before functioning in the outer world. As it is, the recognition of the fact that you are functioning at less than peak efficiency, shall we say, is helpful to you as a soul. For if you are aware that it is desirable to collect the self and to tune the self so that one offers a labor of true love when one works, then even if one is unable fully to accomplish the manifestation of this, metaphysically speaking, setting the intention to do that labor of love is very, very important, far more important than the degree to which you are able actually to manifest this.

We believe at this time that we would pause to refocus the questioning. We are those of Q’uo.

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We do find that this is a ticklish question from the standpoint of infringement upon free will. You are precisely correct in assuming that this is a vital point. Shall you move into the belief system that chooses quantity and therefore move along the assumption that the entire population of the movie-going world needs to see the information, or shall the effort be made in a modest way to those independent and other film makers who have a love of the smaller film, thus creating an atmosphere for a potentially greater artistic freedom, sensitivity or control? We leave this within your choice-making with the wry acknowledgement that this is, as this instrument would say, a sticky wicket.

May we ask is there is a further query?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The described characters are perhaps drawn with that description which has not the appropriate or, shall we say, truthful allowance for the human within the characters, more so for the heroine than the brother. The character who has no pain has less of a grateful or sympathetic aspect of companionship with the perceiver of this character’s flavor.

May we answer further, my brother?

B:[Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The basic structure of this suggestion is good in our opinion in that it engages the feeling of sympathy and commonality or, shall we say, identity with those within the experiencers of this story. The handling, shall we say, of the difficult aspects of this story is a relatively easily defined issue in that the choice revolves about the creation of what this instrument would call a threat or counterpoint created early within the story, so that first the sympathies of the audience are piqued, and then the concern or spontaneous depth of involvement in the story due to the perceived threat to the character is made evident within the story.

Certainly, it could be seen as a threat that the life is shaken by running into new experiences, new entities, and so forth. We can see the intellectually attractive aspect of this particular scenario. What we basically see here is the choice between creating a mythic character of the, shall we say, genre which is in common with this instrument’s area of interest and the choice of choosing a mythic system which is more respectable, such as that of Christianity, Judaism, or even that known as Islam. The myth is infinitely various in detail from myth to myth, from culture to culture and from system to system, yet the issues involved, and indeed many of the predictions concerning harvest, remain constant. Consequently, there is a wide palette for the entity who chooses to create fiction. There is less of a wide palette for the entity who chooses to hew somewhat more to the story of that entity known as L and L Research.

May we answer further, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and, my brother, the answer is no. Do you wish to question further?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query. Our response was to the question, “Was there a way to tell the story without offering fear-based information?” and the answer is no. The fear-base then is that which is certainly not desired, and any dwelling upon this base of fear shall detune the story itself. Nevertheless, the entire desire of this particular group is to create a body of information which acts as what this instrument would call a snooze alarm in that it rings a tocsin or tolls a bell that says, “No man is an island, and no nation is insular.” Certainly, this information cannot be stated without expressing truths that inspire fear.

However, the story can be balanced in that not only is there the story that creates fear because it describes a cycle of slavery that has been pressed upon entities upon your sphere since that which was the time of Atlantis at the time of the last pole shift. The balance to this information concerning the enslavement of humankind is the equally compelling truth that there is a way to create a balance to this situation; there is a way from this enslavement to freedom of mind, heart, soul, and strength. There is an empowerment of humankind which moves from belief systems and perceptions into the very DNA, for creative units within the self of the bodies of those upon your sphere. The need to change the, shall we say, mind-set of your peoples is great in that many entities have moved very close to the area of resistance or, shall we say, meniscus between third density and fourth density, and a very little attempt is likely to be sufficient to create a great potential for moving across that area of resistance into a fourth-density point of view which would indeed greatly aid the planet itself at this time of the birth of the planet as well as its peoples.

We believe that we need to refocus the query at this point. Is there a further question?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We would ask that the question be restated.

B: [B restates the query over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and grasp your query, my brother. Certainly we would agree that the need is to focus within the aspects of love in its unconditional aspect. This unconditional love, or, as this instrument is fond of saying, the open heart, predisposes an entity to dwell within a state of consciousness which is in itself the fourth-density vibration, and the goal of this particular work of art would indeed be firstly, primarily and centrally directly to engage the heart of the viewer in such a way that it would open and create for the viewer within the movie the direct experience of unconditional love.

The most direct way to share unconditional love is to project unconditional love to the viewer. We cannot choose whether it is more effective to engage the viewer in a vision of unconditional love and of seeing unconditional love through the eyes of the splash of the backdrop of history, or whether it is more effective through the smaller canvas of the story of small-life characters. We would encourage this instrument to share her memory of a recent art exhibition to which this instrument went and spent some time viewing various canvases of those painters of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries in France. This instrument relates the painting known as “Landscape with Cottages” to the question of the splash of history, whereas the charm of the smaller canvas called “Pink Tablecloth” or the charm of the relationships and obvious emotions of the figures within the painting called “The Reapers” engage this instrument’s sensibilities on a completely different level. Of the two, this particular instrument as an aesthete preferred the painting “Landscape with Cottages” by an artist known as Paul Michel. To the more chatty or cozy frame of the very human, very small-life details of the latter two paintings, it is very much a matter of sensibility, and we would use the term comfort.

We would hope that our version of a wakeup or snooze alarm would be that which was gentle and clear and full of love rather than harsh, hard-hitting and alarming. The challenge then is to create a true story that tells the harvest saga in a way that both engages the realization that there is a threat and opens up the possibility of a solution which is achievable by the entities as they are within the world that they experience at this time. This is another way of saying that the faculty of hope is extremely powerful, and the empowerment of these individuals that dwell within your density at this time is our hope. The underlying question is, “Do numbers count?” and again this is a ticklish ethical question. From a sixth, a fifth, or to some extent a fourth-density perspective, numbers do not count. From a third and to some extent a fourth-density perspective, numbers count. Which truth makes your passions burn, or is there a bridge between those two truths? We do not know, but we recommend some playing with that dynamic.

Is there a further question, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo. May we say that the timing has been premature upon the part of the ones known as Don and Carla. The energy between these two entities was of such a nature that there was an opening into what this instrument and this group in general would call the future, so then the gist of a whole cruise became obvious in the sense that the sea lanes which it would travel were lit briefly, and much was seen, although not perfectly, moving far into the future. The power of love has, in this instance as in all, the power that creates miracles. However, the appropriate timing has always been upon the track, and at no time has there been a difficulty in the sense that, may we say, many seen and unseen entities have combined as co-creators in this and related projects which have to do with standing for that which this instrument calls the Godhead principle. Each has that which is the energy of the Christ, just as the one known as Jesus was the Christ and became the Christed one by embracing that which was greater than Himself. Each has the capacity to embrace and move into that role in which the self becomes the co-creator in such a way that Love is opened from the creative principle through the vulnerability and the imperfection of the human experience and the human choice, and Love is made visible by imperfect hands and weak and uncertain wills. They somehow have launched themselves into the midair of faith and inspiration.

May we answer further, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and grasp your query, my brother. We are not certain as to the most efficacious threat. It is equally threatening, we feel, to look at the simple task of returning to a 75,000-year cycle of incarnation and reincarnation learning the lessons of love as it is to threaten the enslavement of humankind for eons and eons of time. In the long-run, the latter supposition is more frightening, but, in the context of the next 10,000 years, it makes little difference, and it is unlikely that any entities alive within this particular moment in space/time shall see their ten-thousandth birthday. Consequently, each threat is equally binding. One threat moves more into great matters and the other into smaller, and again and again as we speak concerning your queries, we see the seeking within your mind as to the scale of this particular creation, and we admire the courage which we see within the one known as B, in considering a wide range of avenues, for do not all roads lead to Rome?

Is there a further question, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and no, my brother, the situation has not changed. Those who would appear within your skies are for the most part those with the service-to-self agenda or those who simply move through the windows of opportunity in a random fashion with little polarity but simply are those who move through as tourists or spectators. Our position remains that of being in thought-form within your inner planes, and, although those of fifth density within certain soul-stream families have more ability to create phenomena, we would suggest that it is not a well-polarized concept in terms of the quality or integrity of the positivity of such a project as that which this group is hopeful of envisioning well.

May we answer further, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and are able to confirm that there are indeed many who have achieved graduation at this time. It is our humble pleasure to state that the great majority of these entities have chosen, once through the healing process, to remain within the inner planes of this planet in order to aid those who become aware of their presence and are able to ask them for their support and help. For these entities, any inner-planes entity, or angel, or deva, or inner-planes teacher is able to lend its love and its passion to the energies of those incarnate beings with which it is in sympathy. For instance, this entity, as a part of tuning before beginning this conversation with the one known as B, spent approximately ten minutes contacting those within the inner planes and asking for their help, because this entity realizes the power of opinion and the lack of pertinence as to whether this opinion is incarnate or discarnate.

May we ask if there is a further query?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and we find that this particular question is one that moves beyond the boundaries of the Law of Confusion. We feel that it is an infringement to state that there are those within fourth density in any way which would suggest groups or individuals which may represent this configuration. We would, however, state that many there are at this time being born into the Earth’s sphere who are activated within fourth density as well as third in what this instrument would call an unusual hookup. These entities are those explorers who blaze the trail and whose work creates training wheels for those to come.

May we answer further, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo and, my brother, it has been exponential beginning, as you said, thirty to forty of your years ago in terms of double-activated entities and certainly progressing in the basic phi ratio of increasing numbers as time moves on.

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and, my brother, they would not appear different except in the sense that many wanderers appear different in that they perhaps appear more intelligent or simply different. However, this is not to say that there is an alien quality but only to say that many of those who incarnate among your peoples who are not native to the second density of this planet have a tendency to express in different archetypal modes which, though extremely subtle, sound those nuances which alert entities to a difference.

May we speak further, my brother?

B: [Another question is posed by B over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and this is correct, my brother. The so-called double-activated child in its young years may well remember far more of the truth than the same entity which moves into the increasing complexities of the illusion. The fourth density itself is one in which there is a glamour or illusion within that which within third density would be considered the emotional or mental self. Consequently, there is the capacity for a certain type of shadow even in fourth-density thought. The forces of emotion through that which is called puberty among your peoples takes a great toll upon the fourth-density as well as the third-density-activated entity, and the entity of either density’s activation which survives third-density adulthood issues is a remarkable and unusual citizen of the planet you known of as Earth.

May we answer you further, my brother?

B: [B makes a statement over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and we would agree, my brother.

B: [B concludes his queries over the telephone.]

We are those of Q’uo, and we leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We thank you for the beauty of this session and the energy of this joining and we leave this instrument and this group thanking each. Adonai. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

This morning I took a new bag of birdseed over to my neighbor’s yard and filled the two bird feeders with the birdseed.

This afternoon I recorded Chapter Fifteen from The Crucifixion of Esmerelda Sweetwater for the third time as my re-recording of it came out much too loud. Austin suggested that I keep the microphone a foot away from me this time instead of the 2 to 3 inches that we have used in the past. Then I drove down to the vet to pick up some meds for Bosco.

I would like to let my readers know that the underlining that seems to be happening randomly in my Camelot Journal entries is being looked into by Austin, and, hopefully, a solution can be found to keep the underlining from happening within the next few days.

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

January 24

Invisible Goals

I am the saving Spirit of the consciousness of Love which is in Jesus the Christ. I greet you with the full power of that consciousness.

Each has sought in the recesses of his heart for that consciousness and met with such a mixture of success and failure that it seems that God is sometimes generous and sometimes withholding.

Yet were the great pattern of being to be laid before the measurement of your mind’s eye, it could be seen that the consciousness of love is infinitely even and disputeth not at what must be done to insure true impartiality of experience to all created beings.

For it is the intent of Love that the creations of Love are to be creators. And how could that be were there no choices to make, no difficulties to overcome, no mountains to be traversed, and no invisible goals to be set in faith and realized with persistence?

The full consciousness of Love embraces each in whatever circumstances. Yet comfort is abundant if each can but ask in faith, knowing that the consciousness of Love is indeed within each one. Seek ye, therefore, the peace of utter freedom, freedom to find Love in any circumstance whatever and rejoice in the glory of Christ.

I move among you making available to you the peace of love, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 3:

The question today, Q’uo, has to do with the intensity of catalyst that we feel. We’ve heard it said that most learning that is efficient takes place with some sort of trauma. We’re wondering why that is. Is it due to the intensity of the lesson we wish to learn? And is the lesson we wish to learn discernible from the catalyst that we experience, or do we need to look deeper than the catalyst we experience? We would like for you to give us some information concerning how we experience our catalyst; how we can be more efficient in using our catalyst? Is it in dealing with the catalyst itself that we see what we’re trying to learn, or do we need to meditate more to discover the lesson? Do we need to work with our dreams? Do we need to do essays? Do we need to be doing something besides just looking at the catalyst that is available in our daily lives?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a true blessing for us to be able to serve your group at this time, and we thank you for the privilege of being called by your request for information. We are most happy to share our humble thoughts with you with the request that you listen with a careful ear to those things that we would say, rejecting all those things that do not resonate to you personally. This will enable us to feel that we have the opportunity to speak without being perceived as authorities or in any way limiting your free will or your ability to choose for yourself those thoughts that you would value and use as resources.

The answer to the question which you ask this day resides within the nuances of your everyday experience. You ask concerning the nature of perceived experience, for each has experienced those situations which seem to constitute a challenge of one kind or another, and these challenges are not perceived as being comfortable or convenient. Questions arise when such catalyst is encountered, such as the one known as V asked, “What is the universe attempting to say to me? What am I attempting to say to myself?” And, as the one known as T has pointed out, at the end of all questions of this kind, the one question that is sure to remain is that question that children ask with such stunning simplicity, why does it have to happen at all?

Rather than deal with this question at this level, we find that it would be useful to remove our point of view to a place which is less local than global, is less personal than planetary, and is less a part of culture and more a part of the archetype. The one known as Jim is quite accurate in supposing that there are more levels to catalyst than either literally or figuratively meet the eye. There are, shall we say, three basic levels of catalyst and certainly many sublevels of catalyst. The first level is the level of the surface reality, what this instrument would call consensus reality. On this level, situations have ripened into manifestation, and often there are choices to make concerning physical details such as the setting of limits, the choosing of resources, selection of options.

Upon the second level of catalyst lie the underlying qualities which, in combination, ripening through natural processes of the spiritual evolution as well as physical and emotional cycles, create the shape of the story that appears within the personal movie of the life, shall we say. For each has a long-running, full-color movie which is being made up of the multilayered and many-leveled story of the life of the one known to each of you as “I.” At this second level of catalyst, there is a tremendous amount of power within the simple knowing that you are not alone, neither in your suffering nor in your confusion, but rather each of you is the center of concern, care, love, and protection of several of those beings who dwell within your inner planes. Each entity who moves through the gates of incarnation into third-density existence has three of these presences. They may be characterized in different ways. This instrument was trained to characterize them as male, female, and unified or androgynous.

However, in addition to these entities which this instrument has a tendency to call “angelic,” there may be added to your panel of support any number of those who are attracted by your energy, your hopes, your ideals, and faith or the lovely light and color of your appreciation of beauty or your devotion to service. These entities cannot help directly with the choosing of the first level of catalyst. These entities cannot make decisions for you concerning the setting of limits, the choosing of options, the selection of the various details of surface catalyst. However, if remembered and included, these presences are able to energize the forces around you to vibrate with information that will aid you as you seek to make the choices that the catalyst has brought out. These underlying shapes are shapes made by those who move in the ways of learning to love and to be loved. When you are asking for the help of angels and guides, it is well to begin with thanksgiving, with praise and with confidence in yourself, in those who are helping you, and in the perfection of that which is quite apparently imperfect.

The group question for this session was: “We would like for you to give us some information concerning how we experience our catalyst; how we can be more efficient in using our catalyst? Is it in dealing with the catalyst itself that we see what we’re trying to learn, or do we need to meditate more to discover the lesson? Do we need to work with our dreams? Do we need to do essays? Do we need to be doing something besides just looking at the catalyst that is available in our daily lives?” Q’uo began their response by saying that the answer to the question which we asked today concerns the nature of our perceived experience, for each of us has experienced situations which are a challenge of some kind, and these challenges are uncomfortable so that questions arise such as “What is the universe attempting to say to me?” “What am I attempting to say to myself?” and “Why does it have to happen at all?” Q’uo continued by saying that rather than consider this question at this level they felt that it would be useful to change their point of view to a place less local and personal but more a part of the archetypes, and at this level there are three basic levels of catalyst and many sublevels as well, with the first level being consensus reality, and on this level our situations have ripened into manifestation, and often we have choices to make concerning physical details such as the setting of limits, the choosing of resources, and the selection of options. Q’uo went on by saying that upon the second level of our catalyst are qualities which mature in combining spiritual, physical, and emotional cycles that create a movie of the many layers of our personal life where we are the star that we know as “I, “and at this second level of our catalyst we can feel a tremendous amount of power in knowing that we are not alone in our suffering, but each of us is the center of love and protection from our guides who live within the inner planes and are of the male, female, and androgynous natures. Then Q’uo said that in addition to these entities which Carla called “angelic,” there are other entities that can support us because they are attracted to our hopes, our light, and our devotion to service, but they cannot help us directly with our choosing of the first level of catalyst by making decisions for us regarding our setting of limits and choosing the details of our surface experience, but  these presences can energize the forces around us to vibrate with information that will aid us as we seek to make the choices that our catalyst has brought out, and when we are asking for the help of angels and our guides we should begin with praise and thanksgiving and with confidence in them, in ourself, and in the perfection of that which seems imperfect. On December 19, 1995, Q’uo spoke of the value to us of angels and guides:

By enjoying this veiled experience each seeker was at once cast into a sea of confusion and safe at home. And it is this dual reality that each experiences: the seeing of the self as an imperfect, stumbling seeker and at the same time having the faint but unmistakable ring of an inner perfection and truth that cannot be denied. Once cast into this sea of confusion it is well for each to cultivate certain angels, shall we say, for we find among your peoples at this time much awareness, seemingly an increased awareness of inner plane entities such as angels and guides. There are habits of mind that are also angels. It is to be expected that as you come up against the various relationships which you set up for yourself before incarnation you will again and again be cast into the confusion of a precise kind. That is the very best teaching tool for you and the other self, that you will need to consult some angels and guides. We would suggest one of these angels might well be the angel of humility. If you are in a sea of confusion and if you feel that there are demands made upon your energy which are excessive, then it is no wonder that there will be disquiet within.

The third level of catalyst is the archetypical. Within this level of catalyst lie your most powerful tools for transforming the very nature of your state of consciousness in such a way that it remains within a state of bliss even as it is moving through perceived imperfections. Within this level of catalyst, however, the energies are deep, dark, and slow to respond to the conscious mind. Working at this level of catalyst, the greatest resource is silence. It is at the foundation or archetypical level that one practices the presence of the infinite Creator. It is at this level that one becomes a creature of one’s own heart, accepting the interiority of the self and opening to that unknown room within, which one of this instrument’s favorite poets called “the rag and bone shop of the heart.” ¹ Yes, each of you does have indeed the rags and the bones, the teeth and the hair, and the memories of how you gained and lost all of those things, and those things lie within the pack-rat heart until the energies are appropriate for cleaning house, for dusting, and tidying, and gathering up the garbage into a bin for removal from the life, from the memory, from the need to feel responsible.

The one known as T asked a poignant question in the conversation preceding this meditation, describing a halcyon, golden day within his life in which he basically felt that there was some progress made, and some realization gained. This entity awoke to a new day and found that with this new day came challenges of such a nature as to remove those feelings of comfort, serenity, and joy and replace them, seemingly of necessity, with feelings of limitation, aggravation, and separation. “How can we learn to retain that feeling of realization when the next catalyst occurs?” asked this entity, and we feel that this is the question upon which we would focus for the remainder of this instrument’s portion of this communication.

That which you experience as a life seems to have a very steady roll and rhythm to it, as if it were anchored with the birth and the death, and the unrolling ribbon between is just long enough to fit. Yet we find that the experiences of a lifetime are only in part that which is trapped within time and space upon the, shall we say, surface of the time/space continuum which you at this time travel within incarnation. Fully half or more of that which you experience as part of a seemingly continuous and unremarkable presence that unrolls steadily before you are actually called to the present from the future or the past by those patterns of thought which circle around the questions of loving and being loved.

One of the questions that was asked was, “Can we work with these challenges by identifying the chakra of the energy body which is bearing the brunt of this challenge?” and the answer is in part, “Yes, these considerations are always helpful.” However, we would suggest that there is also skill and art in throwing open the windows of the self to the light within, to the hope within, to the faith within, so that there is a growing awareness in yourself, as you work with catalyst, that you are only partially a creature of time and space. In another portion of yourself, you are a universal and infinite being, a dweller in eternity and one who has given gifts to the self from the future and from the past that feed into the present moment, because there is a need for the nuances, for the lessons of loving and being loved. No matter where the energy centers are that are being stressed by the challenges experienced, the lessons will continue to be about love.

Then Q’uo said that the third level of catalyst is the archetypical, and within this level of catalyst are our most powerful tools for transforming the nature of our state of consciousness so that we can remain within a state of bliss even when we are moving through difficulties so that within this level of catalyst the energies are deep, dark, and slow to respond to our conscious mind, and working at this level of catalyst our greatest resource is silence, and it is at the archetypical level that we practice the presence of the infinite Creator and become a creature of our heart and open that unknown room within us where we can access the memories of how we gained and lost all of those things that are within our heart until we feel that the energies are appropriate for cleaning house and for gathering up the garbage for removal from our memory and from the need to feel responsible. Q’uo went on by saying that T asked a poignant question before the meditation began where he spoke of a golden day within his life where he felt that he had gained some realization so that when he woke up to a new day he discovered that this new day contained challenges that removed his feelings of serenity and joy, and they were replaced with feelings of aggravation and separation, so he asked “How can we learn to retain that feeling of realization when the next catalyst occurs?”, and Q’uo said that they would speak upon this question for the remainder of Carla’s part of this communication. Q’uo continued by saying that which we experience as our life seems to have a steady rhythm to it which connects our birth and death with a ribbon just long enough to fit our life, but then Q’uo said that the experiences of our lifetime are only a part of that which is trapped within time and space upon the surface of the time/space continuum which we travel within our incarnation because more than half of our experience is called to the present from the future or the past by our patterns of thought which deal with the experiences of our loving and being loved. Q’uo said that one of the questions that was asked was, “Can we work with these challenges by identifying the chakra of the energy body which is bearing the brunt of this challenge?”, and the answer is in part, “Yes, these considerations are always helpful.” And Q’uo suggested that there is also an art in throwing open the windows of ourself to the light and the faith within us so that, as we work with catalyst, we feel a growing awareness in ourself that we are only partially a creature of time and space because in our true self we are an infinite being from the future and from the past that feeds into the present moment because we have a need for the lessons of loving and being loved, and no matter where our energy centers are that are being stressed by challenges our lessons will continue to be about love. On November 16, 2003, Q’uo described our nature as that of an infinite being:

The heart, however, thinks substantially differently from the mind, the thoughts of the heart coming from that vertical part of living, that time/space or metaphysical portion where the thoughts are the thoughts beyond incarnation, beyond circumstance or estate. Those thoughts are the thoughts of the infinite being that you are. They are the thoughts of the consciousness within, and that consciousness is safe within your heart. It is a matter of opening your own doors into that heart, sitting there and gazing from that heart out into the world.

As wisdom feeds into the daily life, that wisdom expresses itself as different realizations of what love is, new and invigorating awarenesses of what it is to share unconditional love, and, for those who are in advanced lessons within incarnation, the challenges are nuanced by the shadings of the energies of accepting the love offerings of others. Many are the times that a negatively presenting set of circumstances has as its formative cause the need to learn the lesson of accepting the love that is given to one. It is in almost every case among those who are positively oriented far easier to learn the lessons of loving than those of being truly, unconditionally, utterly and completely loved. The resistance to the truth of that creates a good deal of murkiness within the patterns that are created through the archetypical and secondary systems of catalyst.

Consequently, we would suggest the value of dwelling not so much upon the first level of catalyst in thinking about what to do concerning the challenges of the catalyst as upon thinking more or allowing more time to process the secondary level of catalyst and the archetypical level of catalyst. This would translate into actions such as pondering, as the one known as Jim has said, those items which lie before the mind during moments of work where the attention is not taken by detail, musing along one’s way as one drives in the car or walks within nature, and always, in order to call in those archetypical sources of information, it is helpful to spend time in the meditative state invoking the silence of self that allows that still, small voice of guidance within to have its time to shine like a daystar in the heart. Angels surround you beating with silent wings, their trumpets raised. They play that hosanna of praise and thanksgiving that fills the universe with song.

The magic of this vision lies all about you. Every corner of your consensus reality is crowded with magic. All of the creation of the infinite One is as responsive to you as the entity sitting next to you and is perhaps more aware of you and who you truly are than any entity whom you may meet within the physical illusion. These entities—these plants, these animals, these elements—have found simpler ways to love and to be loved than are available within third density, and that direct, intuitive and unhesitating way of loving and accepting love is a great lesson that you may pick up at any time from the wind, the rain, the fire on your grate, and the earth of your own body. The more that you are able to rest within this unity with all things at this very simple level, the sturdier your spirit will be at retaining that vibration of praise, thanksgiving, and joy which is the steady state of awareness shared by those who dwell completely within the creation of the one infinite Logos.

What is your identity? Whenever you can, keep a part of your identity quite clearly within your mind as being one with all, one with all you seek, one with all that you do not seek, one with all you understand and one with all you do not understand, one with all of whom you approve and one with all of whom you do not approve. It is not that we ask you to ignore the catalyst of daily life. We hope that you will participate to the extent that you feel that you make many, many foolish errors. Why would we hope that you make errors? Precisely as each of you has supposed in the conversation preceding this discussion that we have with you now, there are many times where, according to the plan for learning that constitutes your particular incarnation, you have chosen to take up a nexus of decision. On the surface, it is a decision concerning details; at the secondary level, it is a decision concerning love; at the archetypical level, it is always a decision concerning the nature and the mission of the self. Let yourself slide up and down, in and out of these levels, not disrespecting one level or valuing one level more than another but seeing both, that all things are what they seem and that nothing is as it seems, and that both of these realizations may lead you to skillful acts.

Now Q’uo said that as wisdom feeds into our daily life it expresses itself as new and invigorating awarenesses of what love is and how we can share unconditional love, and for those of us who are in advanced classes within our incarnation we have the challenge of accepting the love offerings of others, and for those who are positively oriented it is easier to learn the lessons of loving than those of being unconditionally loved, and our resistance to this truth creates a good deal of murkiness within the patterns that are created through the archetypical and secondary systems of catalyst. Q’uo suggested that we not dwell upon the first level of thinking about what we should do concerning our challenges of the first level of catalyst so that we can give more time to process our secondary level of catalyst as well as the archetypical level of our catalyst that would translate into pondering those thoughts which come within our mind when our attention is not taken by detail. Q’uo suggested that we walk in nature in order to call in those archetypical sources of information, and then we should spend time in meditation invoking the silence that allows that still, small voice of guidance within us to have its time to shine like a daystar in our heart and to become aware that angels surround us with their silent wings beating and playing that hosanna of praise and thanksgiving that fills the universe with song. Q’uo went on to say that the magic of this vision is all around us, and every corner of our consensus reality is full of magic, and all of the creation of the infinite One is as receptive to us as the person sitting next to us, and is perhaps more aware of us and who we truly are than any entity who we may meet within the physical illusion. Then Q’uo said that the plants, animals, and elements have found simpler ways to love and to be loved than are found within third density, and that the intuitive way of loving and accepting love is a great lesson that we may pick up at any time from the wind, rain, fire, and the earth of our body, and the more that we are able to rest within this unity with all things at this very simple level, the stronger that our spirit will be in retaining the vibration of praise and thanksgiving which is the steady state of awareness shared by those of us who dwell completely within the creation of the one infinite Logos. Q’uo asked: “What is your identity? Whenever you can, keep a part of your identity quite clearly within your mind as being one with all, one with all you seek, one with all that you do not seek, one with all you understand and one with all you do not understand, one with all of whom you approve and one with all of whom you do not approve.” Q’uo went on by saying that they did not want to ask us to ignore the catalyst of our daily life because they hoped that we would continue living even when we feel that we make many foolish errors because there are many times where, according to the plan for learning that constitutes our particular incarnation, we have chosen to take up a time of decision, and: “on the surface, it is a decision concerning details; at the secondary level, it is a decision concerning love; at the archetypical level, it is always a decision concerning the nature and the mission of the self.” Q’uo completed their reply by saying that we should let ourself slide up and down on these levels with no disrespect for any one level or valuing one level more than another, but we should see that all things are what they seem to be, and that nothing is as it seems to be, and that both of these realizations may lead us to skillful acts. On March 28, 2009, Q’uo described the nature of our time of decision:

When the next time of decision comes to you, my brother, slow yourself down. Move into your open heart and allow the full riches of the catalyst involved to flow through you. Positive polarity is not a matter of ignoring anything. It is not a matter of choosing to let the shadow side slide and focusing on the positive. It is a matter of asking for a viewpoint that sees the wider and more comprehensive picture of the situation. As this instrument would say, it asks you to dolly back, to pull the camera of your attention backwards to a place of observation which calls upon the highest and best within you. It calls upon your guidance. It calls upon your awareness of who you are and why you are here. And it calls upon the memory of which we spoke earlier, invoking that decision that you made at the outset to serve the one infinite Creator by polarizing towards service to others.

As we leave this instrument, we would simply say that, as always, we remain ready to move into meditation with you as you request our presence. There are, as we just said, many entities just waiting for the invitation to be part of your magical world, your blueprint for transformation. It is a good plan. You have all chosen well. You have chosen, indeed, for an intensity or density of catalyst, hoping both to learn and to serve, and each of you is doing well. Naturally, because of the nature of the physical illusion, there is seldom a finished or symmetrical feel to everyday existence, and yet, as this instrument has often said, once one has found that place for the first time, there is a wonderful and ever-present space wherein one is in tabernacle with the infinite One resting in love and in light, and infinitely full of the one Creator.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, so that we may answer any questions that remain within the minds of those within this group. We greatly thank this group for asking this question and would at this time leave this instrument in love and in light. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you in love and in light through this instrument. May we speak to any further queries at this time?

V: Q’uo, I was thinking about my pets this week, and just the nature of the pets as they relate to third-density humans. My recollection is that some pets are second density, and some pets are even beginning or early levels of third density. As third density is moving into fourth density, will our pets follow into fourth density? I guess it’s a multilevel question in that I’m not sure how fourth density works with us moving into fourth density, if we will remain in fourth density on this planet, or if we will go to other planets in fourth that will accommodate or support fourth-density entities. At what level are pets capable of remaining with us? Is there any such thing as a pet, per se, in the higher densities beyond third or fourth ?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. This is not a simple query, as one might imagine, for the experience of all consciousness is movement toward the Creator. There are for each entity companions, energy fields of intelligence that move in rhythm and harmony with you, at various portions of your evolution. Whether one calls an energy field a “pet” or a “person” is dependent, of course, upon the individuality of that source of energy. When the spirit complex has been awakened within any energy field, then there is that which we have called a mind/body/spirit complex. In your illusion, the third density in which you now inhabit, you have the companionship of those you have called the pet. In many instances, these entities, through long experience with many of those whom you would call masters—some of which have been totally experienced with one such master, others with more—have the ability to give and receive that which we call love. That is the determining factor as to the density level of the entity called a pet.

As these entities are more and more able to appreciate that quality of love, support and nurturing that is given to them by those that are their masters, so then these entities learn to give that known as love as well, so that there is a giving and a receiving that appreciates the balancing nature of fully-developed love. That these entities may approach their own graduation is also certain; that they shall continue as a pet is unlikely, for these entities, then, are able to exercise their own free will in a way which is not as likely for a second-density entity that willingly gives over its care and decision-making to another. That these entities shall continue as companions is likely, for there is always an appreciation that it is possible that there will be a maturation of the relationship which is most likely to occur, for the appreciation for the relationship is that which is based upon love and which is the, shall we say, thread that binds the two. Many times, there is a student-teacher relationship which develops from that which was formerly the master and the pet. There are throughout all of creation relationships which partake of greater knowledge, a sharing with that which calls for the knowledge, the love, the light, and the desire to serve that are the motivating factors for all intelligence within the creation of the one Creator. Thus, you may rest assured that, when love has been given and received, there is a bond that continues.

May we speak further, my sister?

V: No, thank you. I appreciate that.

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

Carla: I have a question: The last time that we had a channeling meditation, I got an energy in the channel that was a little different than anything that I’d experienced before in that there was a tremendous amount of energy and pressure behind the source of information, and, even though I talked as fast as I could, I was probably only expressing about 10-15% of what I could have if I’d somehow been able to speak sufficiently quickly to get everything from the stream as it was coming past. I wonder if you could say anything to me about the experience of that. I haven’t been able to figure out what made it unique in terms of anybody special visiting the group or any particular great energy that happened to be behind the question. Any comments would be helpful.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The cycle which is most in sway for this particular type of service that is the vocal channel is the cycle of the adept, as we have heard this group call it. The eighteen-day cycle moves in the form of the sine wave with certain days being more propitious, shall we say, for such undertakings. The experience of the pressure is the experience of the availability of information to one such as yourself which serves as instrument. When one is able to open one’s own instrument in a clear fashion, putting aside the personal drama and coloration of the day, and is able to find the favor of the particular day within this adept’s cycle that is at the peak of the ability to receive information, then the information seems to come much more easily and clearly, without the struggle to define the concept, to pick a certain word or feel capable of describing that which is seen before the inner eye. The experience is one which leaves the trace of vividness which you have experienced, and which may, with some profit to future experiences, be plotted upon a graph in order to know when this cycle is available.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Well, further comment, and I would be glad to have you comment on my comment. I discovered in talking to the people that experience that with me, from the standpoint of listening to it rather than producing it, that there was an overall experience of too many words to be able to grasp any of them, so that it seems to me it would be to my benefit to learn how not to do that, how to retain the clarity but remove the prolixity. Any comments you can give on that would be helpful, I’m sure.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is much as the downhill skier, whose image we place in this instrument’s mind, taking the corners more swiftly than usual, feeling uncomfortable as the skill is mastered. Though you have practiced for many of your years to serve as a vocal instrument, for all instruments there is a great deal of work that can be done to refine the art. Learning to experience the prolixity of words and to find the heart of the concept and the perfect word to describe it is as the fast turns for the skier and will become more comfortable for you to experience in future sessions.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you. I look forward to not… what shall I say… banging on the ears of our meditation group so much in the future. Thank you very much.

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

S: Yeah, Q’uo, could you tell us who of your group is with us tonight? Can you tell us about yourselves and just a general idea of what energies are with us tonight?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. When we of Q’uo speak with you, there is a joining of a number of social memory complexes which have had previous experience in communication with this group and which have lent their energies in order that this contact might be made possible. Those of Latwii were the first to be in long-term contact with this group, though those of Hatonn, who have later joined as a more active portion of the principle known as Q’uo, were first to initiate contact with this group in its early days. Those of Ra have been a, shall we say, a guiding principle, or over-arching energy, which has made this formation of our group possible by blending their portion of love and light to form Q’uo with Hatonn and Latwii. This is the core, or Q’uo. There are also others from the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator that have joined this circle of seeking from time to time as its composition has required or requested certain elements that are accentuated in these other entities, some of which have names and some of which do not.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: Not from me, thank you, Q’uo.

I am Q’uo. We thank you, my brother. Is there a final query at this time?

V: I have one that’s relative to what S was asking. When the principle was formulated, how did you come up with and what is the energy related to the vibratory complex, “Q’uo”?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We make this instrument smile. It has been a long time since he saw his 10th grade Latin teacher. In this study of the language known as Latin, there is the word, “quo,” which asks who, what, where, when. We were attempting to give this group a clue as to who we were. More specifically, we were attempting to inspire this group to ask who we were. Our efforts were minimal, for it took this group nearly two years of your time to ask.

V: That’s ‘cause I wasn’t here before. I’ve been wanting to know this for a long time.

I am Q’uo. Our choice perhaps could have been more, shall we say, piquing to the interest. We chose as we did hoping that one of the two instruments would remember high school Latin. We appreciate the time factor, for not all learn as quickly as do others. We shall learn to choose perhaps more interesting names in your future. For now, we remain those of Q’uo, and at this time we shall thank each once again for inviting our presence in your circle of seeking this day.

We are known to you as those of Q’uo. We take our leave of this instrument and this group. We leave each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went outside to check on the height of the fountain in the fishpond that I have had to add water to for the last two days because the fountain was shooting water out of the pond. Thanks to very cold weather last night it looks like the fountain is now encased in a tube of ice and won’t be able to shoot the water out of the pond until the tube of ice melts.

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

January 23

Glad Tidings

Greetings in the consciousness of Love. I am the Holy Spirit of Jesus the Christ, the bringer of glad tidings to all who have ears to hear.

My children, rejoice! For the glad tidings which we of the principle of Love bear is that there is Love in all things. It is a matter of recognition, not creation; reflection, not origination. For Love was brought into the world as the world, the world itself being part of the consciousness of Love.

There is no thing outside of the consciousness of Love, only time’s confused and crazed reflections through the cracked glass of imperfect reflection. Whatever lies in front of you this day is filled with joy and replete with peace. And were you to be able to go forward in time you would see, with no need for faith, that all things have indeed occurred so that your joy may be whole.

Thus, if you sorrow this day, by faith you may rejoice in your sorrow. There is no greater peace than the recognition of the consciousness of Love in every perfected part of the present day.

Love wishes Love peace, now and evermore. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 20:

The question today, Q’uo, has to do with what is happening for the individual seeker; what is the metaphysical reality of what’s going on in our world today as each of us struggles to understand inner spiritual truths while we are caught in the swirl of economic, political, social, and other activities that are just increasing at exponential rates. We’re wondering what is really going on, when you consider that the various religions of the world have all been affected in one way or another by negatively-oriented entities trying to sway our ability to believe and where we put our faith. They have had some success, in causing us to have thousands of years of war as the concept of the holy war is born and carried out in each of the religions. In the Old Testament, for the Christians, there was a New Testament; there was a new covenant. Jesus brought the way of loving one’s neighbor. There seems to have been for the last couple of thousand years a smaller and smaller group of people who really feel committed to the way of Christ. Could you give us an idea of just what’s happening in the way of metaphysical and spiritual evolution planet-wide and individual-wide and how our various religions and their current difficulties are being affected?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in Whose service we are privileged to be. We thank you for the opportunity to share our thoughts with you on this interesting subject and would ask only that each of you uses your discrimination to winnow out those thoughts that are useful to you from those that are as the chaff that may blow by, letting them be released from the need to have meaning. We ask that you not treat us as authorities but as those who have opinions, and subject everything that all authorities or so-called authorities offer to you to the searching gaze of your own powers of discrimination, which we assure you are excellent. Trust and believe in those feelings of resonance and those feelings of flatness that separate out for you those truths that are yours this day and those that are irrelevant to your situation. This will give us the elbow-room, shall we say, that we need to be able to feel that we are not infringing upon your free will but are only sharing the opinion of friends.

You ask this day, what is occurring with the individual who is moving through this particular phase of evolution upon your planet at this time; what is occurring individually; what is occurring in terms of the religions of the world; and what is occurring in that ever-changing intersection between the metaphysical that is unspoken and the metaphysical that has been delineated by those of a certain set of dogmatic beliefs. This intersection changes constantly, and yet it does have fairly consistent, shall we say, structures that are typical, and so we may in some degree generalize about this. But we would always point out that there is no generality that is true in all cases.

Your world religions indeed have had a long-term habit of turning from the original impetus of a certain way of religious believing to the machinations of what this instrument would call the priestly class, and here is a generality that we share with you that applies to this priestly class: the causes of spirituality are without politics and have to do with an instinct that is bred into the bone of your species. However, the religions of the human animal are those structures that are taken from a spiritual system and recreated in such a way as to benefit or be seen to benefit this particular class of ruling church leaders. The energy of religion, therefore, as opposed to that energy which is purely spiritual, tends towards moving into those areas of dogmatic and rigid belief systems that vitiate the pure strain of compassion and devotion that the religious system, as it is begun, offers; taking away little by little those freedoms to doubt, to disbelieve, and to explore that create the opportunity for the individual entity within human incarnation to seek and know the truth for the self.

Theimpulse or instinct to spirituality is that which bites at man’s heels and calls his thirsting faculty of hope forward at all times, thereby increasing continually the energy towards individual knowing or knowledge. The energy of religion is that which, more and more as the years go by, has a tendency towards removing bits and pieces of the believer’s free range of will so that, more and more, that entity which wishes to be part of a religious system must then yield up the right to judge for the self in an increasingly large number of areas of dogmatic belief. Each time that spirituality is hardened into a dogmatic belief, and faith is exchanged for the tenets of a creed, the personal power and the personal responsibility for the self, the thoughts of the self and the progression of the evolution of the self is released in order to choose a structure in which there is no further responsibility for knowledge but only the responsibility of repeating those pieces of perceived knowledge that have been handed down from authorities. In this effort to organize and then maintain a religion, the emphasis almost inevitably turns from the excitement, fervor and joy of religious seeking to the maintenance, increase in productivity of, and enlargement of the existing corporate system.

The benefits of spirituality, then, are those which accrue to that careful and thoughtful entity who does not resonate to the defined belief systems that are available and instead chooses to create, day by day and perception by perception, an independent path of seeking. That system of knowledge can never be more than subjective. There is a desire within the third-density entity for this knowledge, and from this striving, on an individual level, has come the term, “gnostic.” This term simply indicates someone who is involved in creating a personal path of seeking the truth. Those who find resonance within religions are, and, in this way we generalize overly much also, basically of two types. The first type is, as this instrument is, one who has found its niche within an established belief system, has chosen the path of mysticism which simply steps aside from all dogmatic questions and focuses upon devotion and service. The second type of entity is one which desires to fit into a group, to belong to that group and have choices taken away from it rather than left to it, so that there is not the need to judge that which is truth, that which is gnosis but, rather, only the need to learn the individual points of belief of the system to which they wish to belong, at which point they then feel that they are safe.

The group question for this session was: “The question today, Q’uo, has to do with what is happening for the individual seeker; what is the metaphysical reality of what’s going on in our world today as each of us struggles to understand inner spiritual truths while we are caught in the swirl of economic, political, social, and other activities that are just increasing at exponential rates.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that within our world religions there is an intersection of those portions of each religion that are mystical and those that are dogmatic, and this intersection is always changing so that generalizations about it are difficult to make. Q’uo went on by saying that the birth of spirituality is without politics and has to do with the  instinct that is bred into the nature of our species, but our religions are those structures that are taken from a spiritual system and recreated in such a way as to benefit a higher class of ruling church leaders so that the energy of religion, as opposed to that energy which is purely spiritual, moves into those areas of dogmatic belief systems that reduces the purity of the compassion and devotion of the religious system from its beginning and takes away those freedoms to doubt and to explore that allow us to seek and know the truth for ourself. Q’uo continued by saying that the term “gnostic” indicates someone who is involved in creating a personal path of seeking the truth which can be divided into two types, and the first type is one who has chosen the path of mysticism which simply steps aside from all dogmatic questions and focuses upon devotion and service, and the second type is the one which desires to fit into a group and have choices taken away from it so that there is no need to judge that which is the truth but only the need to learn the various points of belief of the system to which they wish to belong, at which point they feel that they are safe. On June 20, 1990, Q’uo described the general nature of mysticism:

A mystic is not a word which means one thing. It may mean any number of things, that is, it may refer to one who chooses a non-literal interpretation of life in any non-literal interpretation that entity may choose. Thus, there are no two mystics whose paths are the same, for the golden glow of sanctity is shone to one person in one way, to another in another. There is no set pattern for mysticism. It is indeed rather a process of growth or evolution which may be chosen by the seeker as the most comfortable or the most efficient way though uncomfortable, of living the most consciously accelerated spiritually evolutionary life possible while living in the illusion of third density. The mystic is one who says, “I do not need an objective referent to believe that something is there.” Thus, some mystics never leave those things founded upon what other mystics would call sheer superstition. There are as many non-literal ways of looking at the world as there are entities.

The one known as T was asking earlier about why such deeply religious people as some of his friends and relations would be so governed by fear, and perhaps it can be seen in this light that the entity who chooses the established and carefully delineated way of belief that focuses on a specific set of beliefs that make a system are choosing this structure because it feels safe. Thusly, one may see in general that the entity who has chosen to seek a personal path is less a creature of fear than the entity who feels that it is necessary to hew to a dogmatic set of beliefs and to define spirituality in terms of a laundry list of those things that are believed and those things that are felt to be not worthy of attention or even harmful to the developing spiritual entity. Along one path lies an enhanced feeling of chaos, for with free will does come more confusion or, shall we say, apparent confusion. There is less company for the one who decides to make choices for himself, and it is a rockier and more difficult path at the outset.

It is our observation, on the other hand, of those who follow the path of religion that there is indeed a tremendous amount of solace in being part of a group. We find that there is a large degree of complete sincerity in the belief system of many entities within religion and those that have the capacity to be of service to others and to think along terms of offering their love in all situations, yet who do not have a grasp of their own spiritual nature, but instead have been content to rest in the structures built by others. For that is what your temples are, those outward structures that have been created as sacred spaces and that do indeed create an atmosphere, through a long number of years and a long number of generations of workers, that is palpable and that can be felt.

We are not attempting by this description to condemn all religions, for all religions began with the yeasty, powerful, muscular energy of new vision, new realization, and new inspiration. Indeed, it is possible for those within church structures, whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Shinto or other structures of religion, to remain Gnostic; to remain those upon a personal path; to be those who do not compromise that which they feel within their hearts to be true simply because an authority figure suggests that it must be true.

However, there is a substantial portion of the population of your planet that has indeed been affected by religion in the way that those detractors of religion have suggested through history, that being that religion is a drug, a kind of addiction which keeps the “little people” contented with their difficult lives as those who have their primary use in making money for other entities. This strays far afield from the simple, single, elementary truth that connects all entities, whether truth is that which is perceived within a pilgrim heart that is moving out into that personal path of seeking, or whether that same loving heart is content with the patterns that it has been given. The vibrations in which the heart is moving, that tune that the heart is singing, has the capacity to be perfectly one with all that there is. And, indeed, at the heart of all vibrations, of all energy fields that denote an entity, there is that perfectly balanced, totally creative, original Thought that is purely true, so that at the heart of the chaos that is each entity’s unknown self lies the Creator in all of Its creative genius, in all of Its lack of limits, in all of Its power to create and to destroy.

This is the truth that underlies vast differences in opinion. It is the truth from which stems the completely unpredictable potential of all third-density entities to achieve realization in an instant; to find the epiphany in the turning of a leaf or the turning of a page. It may seem at one moment that two entities are so far apart that they could never agree, yet such is the capacity of the human heart to embrace truth when it is perceived that any two entities may in one, strong, fine moment find that rainbow bridge that unites them and release the bonds of fear which girdle so many entities to the load-bearing help of organized religion.

Then Q’uo said that the entity who chooses the established dogmatic way of belief that focuses on a specific set of beliefs is choosing this structure because it feels safe, so one may see that the entity who has chosen to seek a mystical path is less a creature of fear than the entity who chooses to follow a dogmatic set of what to believe and what not to believe so that for the mystical path there is more of a feeling of chaos, for with free will there is more apparent confusion because there is less company for the one who decides to make choices for himself, and it is a rockier and more difficult path at the beginning. Q’uo went on to say that for those who follow the path of religion that: “there is indeed a tremendous amount of solace in being part of a group. We find that there is a large degree of complete sincerity in the belief system of many entities within religion and those that have the capacity to be of service to others and to think along terms of offering their love in all situations, yet who do not have a grasp of their own spiritual nature, but instead have been content to rest in the structures built by others.” Q’uo continued by saying that they did not mean to condemn all religions, for all religions began with the powerful energy of new vision and new inspiration, and it is possible for those within any church structure to remain focused on the knowledge for those to seek upon a personal path and to be those who do not compromise that which they feel within their hearts to be true simply because an authority figure suggests that it must be true. Then Q’uo said that a portion of the population of Earth has been affected by religion being seen as a kind of addiction which keeps the masses of people content with their difficult lives and whose basic purpose is in making money for others which strays far afield from the elementary truth that connects all entities, whether truth is that which is perceived within a pilgrim heart that is moving out into that personal path of seeking, or whether that same loving heart is content with the patterns that it has been given, and: “The vibrations in which the heart is moving, that tune that the heart is singing, has the capacity to be perfectly one with all that there is. And, indeed, at the heart of all vibrations, of all energy fields that denote an entity, there is that perfectly balanced, totally creative, original Thought that is purely true, so that at the heart of the chaos that is each entity’s unknown self lies the Creator in all of Its creative genius, in all of Its lack of limits, in all of Its power to create and to destroy.” Now Q’uo said that this is the truth that is the foundation that supports vast differences of opinion, and it is the truth which awakens the unpredictable potential of all third-density entities to achieve self-realization in an instant and to find an epiphany in the turning of a leaf or the turning of a page, and it may seem that two entities are so far apart that they could never agree, yet this is the nature of our human heart to embrace truth when it is perceived that any two entities may in one, fine, strong moment of inspiration find that rainbow bridge that unites them, and then they can release the bonds of fear which bind so many entities to the load-bearing help of organized religion. On July 27, 1986, L/Leema spoke of the process of self-realization:

However, take yourselves seriously, my friends, seriously enough to be serious about joy, to be serious about peace, to be serious about love. We hope that you may discover the joy that lies within tears and sorrow when one has the knowledge of greater horizons and greater cycles, that each one may experience the peace within difficult times as one discovers that one is not alone, but may share each burden, the love which is not cloying or sentimental, but creative and transformative, in other words, the state of divine unrest which is the ceaseless changing reality, shall we say, of one who is on the path and striving to realize Oneness with the infinite Creator. Never let the knowledge of your own seeming imperfections cause you to be cynical about your divinity or the importance of your self-realization of it. Look for it in yourself, not just in other people.

We are aware of your discussion before this meditation and are very sympathetic with those feelings of disappointment and even betrayal that so many among your peoples feel at the news programs which discuss the failings of those priests within organized religions whose behavior towards children has been undesirable in the extreme. The patterns of service to self and service to others have their cleanest and most healthy expression outside the biasing and distorting energies of organized religion. In particular, we would point out the lack of validity within that church which you call the Roman Catholic Church of certain practices, the specific one which we have in mind being celibacy, which indeed was not part of the original spiritual roots of this fairly mystical and person-driven, gnosis-driven system of spirituality discussed by those of the Essene sect of mysticism within Aramea such as the one known as Jesus and the one known as John the Baptist. This generative spark which the one known as Jim has called the New Testament, the new promise, the new plan, was offered as a very simple and unitary way of being.

The requirements of this particular covenant or testament were that each entity would love the Creator and love the neighbor as the self. All of the law and the prophets, then, depended upon this basic truth, and, when there were discrepancies, the simple requirements preceded and updated the requirements of the Old Testament. We do not need to point out to any of you that the origins of this that is called Christianity among your people were not hewn to with much faith for very long, for there soon came to be an increasing effort to regularize, preserve, and establish the church of Jesus the Christ as a Church rather than as a community of teachers and students. When this grew to a certain degree, for political reasons and reasons of social and economic power, it was decided that the discipline of celibacy would be placed as a requirement for being a priest in this particular church. When some entities are born, one of their choices for their incarnation may be celibacy. For many others throughout the centuries since this decision was made, not by those seeking truth but by those seeking power, many have been in a position of desiring to be a priest and needing to accept the strictures of that position including celibacy.

We would suggest in this instance as in many others in the history of your religions that the requirement in and of itself is an unbalanced one, and it is not surprising that there have been unhealthful and insalubrious distortions that have come about in the personalities and actions of those who truly desired to be of service to others but who, along the way in attempting to deal with an outer, physical organization called the Church, have found themselves in difficult and unbalanced situations which they were not able to control. Please note that there is no political, religious, economic, or social system that does not have its imbalances, inadequacies and potentials for abuse.

It is to be noted that the vast, vast majority of those in positions of this kind have pure souls, clean hearts, and no actions of which they must be ashamed. Further, we would suggest that the pattern of distortion remains the same throughout the institutions of the world. We would suggest that there is no more difficulty in one religious structure than in another once the structure has been penetrated and enough has been learned about the abuses of that particular system to be able to speak clearly and without injustice of that particular system. It is, shall we say, the predilection of third-density entities to find ever-new ways to create a sense of comfort, a sense of power, a sense of confidence; to aggrandize the self and to protect the self in some way. These are all ways in which it is the illusion that is seen; it is the illusion that is manipulated, and yet it is the spirit within that loses the opportunities to seek in a clearer, more lucid way because of being caught up in the various distortions of a particular system.

But each of you swims in an archipelago of distortion. There is the distortion from each of the helpers that touch the life of the young and the innocent child: the teacher, the salesclerk, the babysitter, the children of friends, the mothers of friends. All of these comprise part of the world in which the child lives. All of these teachers, and friends, and parents, and those who truly do care for the child have their own biases and distortions, their own fears, and their own projections of their hopes and dreams for that child which they are offering to the child. Is it any wonder, then, that, as the child grows, it becomes more and more steeped in the acculturative forces around it so that, more and more, the child begins to give away its ability to seek, its clarity of mind, its sharpness of questioning?

Think of the very young child, and you think of a child who is asking questions. Think of the older child who is at the start of the teenage years, as this instrument would call it, and see how that entity’s basis of self has been eroded in terms of that which is that entity’s alone, in order to be replaced, by choice, with the look that is appropriate, with the sayings that are those of the group to which this child belongs. In one way and then another and then another, the child’s mind has been taught that in this and this and this area, this is the perceived truth, and there is no need or hunger for more. When this has been truly successful, it is that which keeps an entity asleep, which keeps that yearning for true inner vision at a minimum, and I think these are the concerns that justifiably can fill the hearts of those who feel that there is the possibility of subjective, personal knowledge and who mourn those energies within a culture which are attempting to stop that energy from moving forward by, shall we say, the empty calories of dogma rather than faith.

Now Q’uo said that the paths of service to self and service to others have their clearest expression outside the distorting energies of organized religion, and Q’uo gave an example the lack of validity within the Roman Catholic Church of celibacy which was not part of the original spiritual roots of this fairly mystical system of spirituality discussed by those of the Essene sect of mysticism within Aramea that included the one known as Jesus and the one known as John the Baptist. Q’uo went on to say that the requirements of this testament were that each would love the Creator and the neighbor as the self so that all of the law and the prophets evolved from this basic truth, and when there were variations it was necessary to update the requirements of the Old Testament which brought about the origins of Christianity, for there soon came to be an increasing effort to regularize and establish the church of Jesus the Christ as a Church rather than as a community of teachers and students. Q’uo continued by saying that when this process grew because of considerations for political, social, and economic reasons it was decided that the discipline of celibacy would be placed as a requirement for being a priest in this particular church, and: “when some entities are born, one of their choices for their incarnation may be celibacy, and for many others throughout the centuries since this decision was made, not by those seeking truth but by those seeking power, many have been in a position of desiring to be a priest and needing to accept the strictures of that position including celibacy.” Now Q’uo suggested that the requirement of celibacy is an unbalanced one, and it was not surprising that there have been unhealthy distortions that have come about in the actions of those who truly desired to be of service to others, but when they attempted to deal with the outer organization called the Church, found themselves in unbalanced situations which they were not able to control, so they experienced potential for abuse just like all other political, economic, or social systems. Then Q’uo said that the vast majority of those in positions of this kind have pure souls and have committed no actions of which they must be ashamed, so Q’uo suggested that this pattern of distortion is the same throughout the world, and they said once research had been done no religions experienced more abuses than any other religion, and they said that it is the way of third-density entities to find various ways to create a sense of power and to aggrandize and protect the self, and these are all ways in which the illusion is manipulated, but it is the spirit within that loses the opportunities to seek in a clearer way because of being caught up in the various distortions of a particular system. So Q’uo said that there are distortions from each of the helpers that touch the life of the young and the innocent child: the teacher, the salesclerk, the babysitter, the children of friends, the mothers of friends, and all of these are part of the world in which the child lives, and all of them have their own biases, fears, and their own projections of their hopes and dreams for that child, and is it any wonder that, as the child grows, it becomes more steeped in the cultural forces around it so that the child begins to give away its ability to seek, its clarity of mind, its sharpness of questioning? Q’uo said that when we think of the older child who is at the start of the teenage years, and see how its basic self of its younger years has been eroded in terms of that which is unique to this entity alone by the facial expression that is appropriate and the manner of speaking that is used within the group that it belongs to reflects how its mind has been taught in each of its experiences of what truth is, then this is what keeps it asleep, and there is no hunger for more, and when this has been done then there are concerns that fill the hearts who mourn the cultural energies which are trying to stop the subjective personal knowledge from moving forward by the nature of dogma rather than faith. On January 11, 2011, Q’uo spoke of the nature of dogma:

In the first place, free will is a matter of perception for each person who is living in incarnation on Planet Earth in third density. If the entity has had a successful indoctrination into some religions, for instance, the matter of free will has been declared null and void, and instead the child will obey each dictate and dogma of the religion which has an answer for every situation, usually heavily couched in judgment and narrowing one’s choices so that there are prisons made of dogma, each tenet a bar. The door is locked for the entire incarnation, once such tenets are accepted.

There are others who have been trained by their parents and indoctrinated into their culture in such a way that there is a prison made of enculturation. There are rules governing each action. And often these bars are as stringent as those of religion in limiting the choices of those who have chosen to obey the dictates of society without thought and without question.

Fortunate are those who awaken within an incarnation to a realization that it is their right and part of their basic nature to make their own choices; to discern and evaluate the truth for themselves and to remove themselves from any prisons made of words, the tenets of dogma, or the rules and regulations of society, which are words of imprisonment for many.

Now let us switch gears and gaze a bit towards the end-times scenario which your conversation previous to this meditation dealt with to some extent. Several of you were wondering what the negatively-oriented entity wants, how the negative entity perceives this time of graduation, and how it wishes to see things go. This is a complex question, for this group of negative polarity upon your planet has been to some extent distorted by a group of higher-density negative entities, primarily those of the fifth density, who have found that if entities can be kept from choosing either the positive or the negative path, and if they can be taught a maximum degree of fear, so that their minds are worried and their hearts are troubled at all times, this creates a kind of food which is used by these higher-density entities for the equivalent of an excellent diet.

The political and social history of your peoples—as you were speaking earlier of Atlantis and ancient cultures and then those that are more modern—have been these generations of those whose fear, terror, anger, hostility, and pain have been offered up as food to the forces that enjoy that world of dark shadows and negative emotions. Consequently, there is almost no true negative polarity in the sense of an organized group of people that work together for the graduation into fourth-density negative of the planet or even of a group of its people. Those who have truly found the possibility of graduation in the negative sense within this particular harvest have been those whose focus has been extremely self-absorbed and unassociated with the energies that look, from the outside in, like negative polarity. The creators of your present global situation, then, are not entities of tremendous negative polarity but rather are those entities who have been most effective in shaping the society towards maximum degrees of control over others through the uses of what this instrument would call the media, so that these are not terrifying dragons but rather dupes for fifth-density entities who are using them as well as all others within the planetary system insofar as they can be taught to hate, to covet, to control. These are the energies that are encouraged along with the fear that lies beneath such policies.

All of this dwells in the illusion, is washed by the waters of consciousness that stream endlessly through the illusion, carrying the waters of truth and beauty and life. It does not matter how intense the outer forces of fear and negativity are when the heart of an entity rests in faith, in hope, and in love: faith that all is well, hope in every hopeless situation, and love of all things, of all biases, of all entities. Rest and perfect peace, how beautiful those words are, and yet this instrument has asked over and over again since 9/11/2001, “What is perfect peace? What is the peace that passes understanding? In what does that consist, is there in my heart already?” This instrument has asked over and over again, “That peace, do I know it already? Am I squashing it; am I pressing it down out of my reach by my choices?”

We suggest to you that this peace is a state of mind, a state of consciousness, a way of vibrating. When fear runs through the system, this state of mind is unavailable. When the fear is dropped from the illusion by the choice of the entity, this state of consciousness becomes available. Many are those among your peoples who have attempted through drugs to find this state of perfect peace, but we suggest that this peace lies within your heart, it is your native and natural environment; it is real, it is not the illusion. It is one tiny, thin veil from you at this time, for fourth density truly is coming upon you. Thusly, your faculties of faith, hope, and love have an increasing amount of potential to take hold within your life. We encourage all forms of positivity within your minds, within the way you talk to yourselves within your hearts, for that state of consciousness which you create day by day and hour by hour within yourself is as the training wheels for that spontaneous and unrehearsed state of consciousness that comes to you as you awaken to the new day.

So Q’uo said that this group of negative polarity entities upon our planet that is seeking graduation has been distorted by a group of fifth density negative entities who have found that if these entities can be kept from choosing either the positive or the negative path and can be taught to experience a maximum degree of fear, so that their minds and hearts are in darkness and fear at all times, this creates a kind of food which these higher-density entities feed upon as their diet. Then Q’uo said that: “the creators of your present global situation, then, are not entities of tremendous negative polarity but rather are those entities who have been most effective in shaping the society towards maximum degrees of control over others through the uses of what this instrument would call the media, so that these are not terrifying dragons but rather dupes for fifth-density entities who are using them as well as all others within the planetary system insofar as they can be taught to hate, to covet, to control. These are the energies that are encouraged along with the fear that lies beneath such policies.” Q’uo went on to say that it does not matter how intensely we feel the outer forces of fear and negativity when our heart rests in the faith that all is well and in the love of all things and for all entities, so they suggested that peace is a state of consciousness, and when fear runs through our system, this state of mind is unavailable, but when we choose to drop fear from our life this peaceful state of consciousness becomes available. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that this state of perfect peace rests within our heart, and this is our natural environment that is real, and it is one thin veil from us at this time, for fourth density truly is coming upon us, so our faculties of faith, hope, and love have an increasing amount of potential to take hold within our life, and Q’uo encouraged all forms of positivity within our minds by the way that we talk when we talk to ourselves within our hearts, for that state of consciousness which we create hour by hour within ourselves is the stabilizer for that spontaneous and unrehearsed state of consciousness that comes to us as we awaken to the new day. On August 18, 2004, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the new day:

In the midst of all this concern for others, remember that you must tend to your own stability, wellness of mind, heart, body, and soul, your own financial wellness, your own staying beforehand with the requirements of the world. What does it take to keep you grounded and balanced and ready for the new day? In most cases, there is that need for daily meditation, daily contemplation, a time that is sacred to oneself, a time spent in the temple of the inner heart, resting with the one infinite Creator. If you have to get up early, my brother, to do this, then set your alarm and give yourself a half hour to stare at a candle, to think over the day ahead, to make to-do lists, to do whatever it serves you to do to rise from your night ready for a new day, seeing into a new land filled with infinite possibility.

This morning I discovered that the fountain on the fishpond had once again began shooting water out of the pond, so I got the garden hose out of the basement and filled the pond until the height of the fountain was small enough, by a couple of feet, to keep from shooting water out of the pond. I have no idea why this keeps happening after a short period of time, but I need to keep my eyes on the fountain frequently throughout the day.

This afternoon I went for my first speedwalk since the big snow fell a couple of weeks ago. It felt good to get back into this rhythm of taking a speedwalk, stretching, taking a bath, and posting my Camelot Journal entry for the day.

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

January 22

Useful Challenges

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love divine. Sometimes we have not the will to go on.

Sometimes the consciousness within the body gazes upon the morning with rejection of all that it portends. These times of discouragement are important.

These times of difficulty are to be observed with great compassion and self forgiveness, for it is within the framework of trouble and sorrow that much of your spiritual work is done.

Therefore, do not chide yourself for your discouragement but rather, praise and thank the blessed Father that in the mysterious way of grace, such dark days may be seen to cause the greatest inner illumination.

Thus, to the discouraged we would say, “Take heart and know that trouble and difficulty are but useful challenges to a servant of the consciousness of Love.”

In that Love and that peace may you go forward this day and forevermore. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
