The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from September 23, 2000:

The question this evening has to do with the fact that there seem to be changes in the world happening very quickly around us. As seekers, we are wondering if Q’uo could give us some idea as to how we can maintain our balance on our path while changes are happening so quickly around and within us?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we are. We wish to express our deep gratitude at your calling us to your circle of seeking this evening. We thank each of you for the sacrifices that you have made to be part of this circle. For each of you it has been a challenge, and the resulting desire to know the truth has been sharpened and honed and the energy that has been created is most beautiful. Your desire is as a beacon, and we thank you for the questions that you have asked and the hopes and the dreams that bring you to the restlessness of spirit that has caused this instrument and many among you to call yourselves wanderers.

Your desire to hear such information as we can offer through this instrument is also a great boon to us because this is our chosen path of service as a group at this particular juncture, so without being able to speak with groups such as you we would not be able to offer our service or to progress in our own learning. And so we thank and bless you for several things, not least of all the joy of sharing time with each of you.

We would ask of you that you take our word lightly, for we are not authorities. We are as you: pilgrims upon a dusty road. As the one known as V has said, each of us varies in our experiences, in the quantity of them, in the quality of them. And each of us knows the stones in the shoe, the dust upon the road, the light of hope in the sky amidst the clouds. We share a landscape, and we share in what may be called the journey. And as each of you has found many times already, the journey has many faces, challenges and surprises. And we are glad to look at these masks with you, for you have asked concerning keeping to one’s path in the course of rapid change. And we would, indeed be delighted to share with you with the understanding that if any words that we say do not ring true to you, you will put them aside without a second thought and move on. For as the one known as A has said, that which is yours has a resonance, and you know it, and you feel it. And when it is not for you it is a dead thing and can easily be left behind. To hold to authority is to create a stumbling block. Hold only to your thirst, to your hunger, to your desire, to that passion that often seems so unfashionable within the mirrored walls of the world. For you need not look at those mirrors until you are ready to see that all things are the reflection of the self.

We would begin speaking concerning paths and change by speaking on the level at which there is no variation or shadow. For we would root that which we have to say in the truth of unity, in the circle view that sees the octave of experience, in the view that knows that each is the Creator. In a very real sense it is useful to think of all times and spaces as the final moment before oblivion, for, indeed, that is the precise link of a creation. That which seems eons is but a heartbeat of the one infinite Thought which is Love. All that you will and have and are—experience, experienced, experiencing—is taking place precisely now. You are in a circle dance. Your movements contain eons of awkwardness, missed steps, and seeming mistakes of every possible kind and character. And yet, seen from the level of the circle dance, every mistake was part of a perfect pattern. Every foolish choice was that freedom that you could not otherwise have had. Every lifetime in which you spent years questioning this and that is seen within the level of the circle dance as the eccentric but perfect balancing dynamic that it was, that it is, and that it shall be.

Eachof you, each of us within this group, each of those infinite sparks of the Logos, rest in unfathomable perfection drenched in a unity so profound that there is none to behold the Light, but only the Light. And this is your star being. This is your nature. Each of you has at the heart that fire of suns, that spark of creatorness that contains all that there is. And so, in a very important way, each of you is, beyond all changes, yourself. The you that was created before time and space, the only you that was ever you, the only you that will ever be you, you are unique. And truly are you precious and beloved to the Creator who values every distortion and seeming imperfection that has dented and banged you in the fire of learning and made you who you are. For you vibrate with a certain chord that cannot be duplicated, that is essentially you, that is most beautiful.

We realize that each of you would like to vibrate as the Logos. Each of you would like to have that perfect vibration of Love, and yet we say to each of you how perfect you are as you are, as you turn, as you change, as you come to this moment. How well you hold within yourself the unity of all that there is. How gently do you cradle that being within that shall be and has always been a child of the one infinite Father. This instrument objects to the use of the word, Father. We object to the Father calling a Father, Mother. Consequently, shall we say, “celestial parent.”

At any rate, beyond that level lies a life in which you are involved. Each of you has chosen to come into a heavy chemical illusion, and you have chosen to come into an illusion that is quite athwart your nature, for each of you remembers better ways to do things, better ways to live, better ways to think. And it is frustrating, indeed, for K to hold his laughter back, for those who attempt to work for the people they find in a way that enlarges the love within the world. We realize that there are very real challenges to expressing that level of self that is the soul of the spirit in the everyday life. And yet that is the level at which the self feels most authentic. That level at which the entire self can be shared.

There are so many calls upon the pilgrim self. It is extremely easy to move upon the surface of life as though one were skating upon the surface of a pond, or walking along the midways of a carnival, distracted by the rides and the amusements, busy with one thing and then another, and beguiled by the surface of things. Meanwhile, just beneath the level of the surface that self that has awakened to the spiritual path chews through catalyst with a voracious appetite. And the self is placed in one pickle after another, a puzzle followed by an enigma, followed by another challenge. As quickly as one can focus upon one thing there will come another. Whether the events are large or small often does not matter. It is the accumulation of changes that creates the sense of having lost one’s sea legs or of even of having lost the lodestone by which one sets one’s course. Certainly, it is easy to feel lost along the path, and there are, indeed, times when it is best to remove oneself from the path, one way or another, to go find a cave, or a rock, or a beautiful valley dotted with sheep and rest a while, and wait, and cultivate as a crop, patience.

The group question for this channeling was: “The question this evening has to do with the fact that there seem to be changes in the world happening very quickly around us. As seekers, we are wondering if Q’uo could give us some idea as to how we can maintain our balance on our path while changes are happening so quickly around and within us?” Q’uo began their response by saying that our spiritual paths, that we travel in the eternal present moment, are part of the unity of the Love of the infinite Creator, and our dance contains eons of missed steps and all kinds of mistakes, but from the point of view of the circle dance, every mistake in every lifetime was part of an eccentric but perfect balancing dynamic. Q’uo went on to say that we all are infinite and perfect sparks of the Logos sharing Its unity and Light, which is our star being that was created before time and space, and we are unique and imperfect beings distorted by catalyst and are loved by the Creator just as we are. Q’uo continued by saying that they know we hope to vibrate with the Love of the Logos, but they wanted us to know that we are perfect as we are reflecting the unity of all, and we have incarnated into an illusion that distorts our true nature, so Q’uo said that they know we face real challenges in expressing that level of our soul in our everyday life, but that is the level at which we feel most authentic, that level at which our entire self can be shared. So Q’uo said that it is easy to move forward on the surface of our daily life with distractions all around us, but just below our conscious mind our spiritual self is struggling with difficult catalyst of various kinds to the point of our feeling that we have lost our way upon our spiritual path. Then Q’uo suggested that we remove ourself from the path for a while and find a cave, or a rock and rest a while, wait, and cultivate patience. On April 26, 1987, Latwii spoke of the value of patience:

I am Latwii, and it is our perception that one helpful way of defining or looking upon that term which we have called patience is that of so fully accepting the present experience in any present moment that one is full of that experience and has little concern for any which may have come before or which may follow it, that the moment is indeed sufficient unto itself, as each moment is a portion of the one Creator, which contains in it the doorway to the fully experienced presence of the one Creator. Thus, to give the proper respect, shall we say, to each moment is to have a kind of love for the Creator that we have called patience. To abide with and to find fullness within any moment is to glorify that portion of the Creator that has revealed unto the seeker for that portion of experience.

For there are some things which continue to puzzle one for a significant period of your time. There are some riddles that do not have a ready solution. There are other times when the thing to do comes as if upon a wave and deposits itself at your feet, and when those gifts of the sea resonate with you, then we encourage you to move quickly. More than anything we encourage each of you to follow your discrimination. It is easy to doubt one’s own judgment, and we have heard the one known as V speak concerning her lacks of awareness, and we have heard the one known as C say somewhat the same thing. But may we say that within our view these judgments of self are unfair and inadequate, and, in general, we would encourage all never to judge the self. This instrument calls it taking the spiritual temperature. May we say that it is an extremely rare seeker who is capable of seeing herself. Each of you was placed in this illusion precisely so that you would lose sight of your self. You were not put here to be intelligent and to make wise decisions. You were put here to make mistakes and to suffer. You see, each of you came here to get lost and to make what may be considered mistakes. Each of you hoped that when you plunged into this place of unknowing you would awaken to that instinct within you for faith, and you would choose to live by faith. You had hoped that you would take the opportunity of not knowing anything to choose, freely, the good, the true, the beautiful, the just, for no reason except that it is a beautiful thing to behold a fair and truthful principle.

And each time as a small new being, or as an adult being, you have heard stories of true heroism, love for others, and a nobility of the ordinary human being. Each of you has thrilled and known what it is to be a person of faith in a world that is dark. Each of you has seen what light a being can shine just by being who he is. You did not come into this world with high ambitions within the world. You may well create them within the world, and that is something to be encouraged if that is what you desire. But each of you came into this world in hopes that you would have the opportunity to choose to express love. You came to breathe the air, to love each other, to accept the love of each other, and to be yourselves. These are the ambitions with which you came into this world as a spirit: to be of service, to choose the good, to give and receive love. Every learning and every service has its roots in these simple hopes.

Ofcourse, in the press of circumstance each spirit will often feel lost, abandoned, alone and without resources. This is part of the refining action of the illusion known as Earth. Consistently, again and again, you will find yourself in positions where you feel you are pressed against your own limitations, and it is at these times that the opportunities for faith are the greatest. And what is faith? We can say it in three words: all is well.

Tokeep one’s feet, to keep one’s balance, those three words are often as far as one needs to go if one is able to say them in quietness and in confidence. For truly, to the best of our knowledge, all is well. You are here. You are doing what you should be doing. You are experiencing. You are feeling. You are loving and you are being loved. You are extremely successful at being third-density human beings.

Do you come close now to that point where the light becomes fuller, and your next incarnation works with different lessons in a different environment? Yes. For each of you, this is so. Whatever books you have read, whatever you think your level of awareness is, each of you is poised at graduation into fourth density. Each of you is eager for more light. And so, you are in a wonderful position to gather experience, to make mistakes, to suffer from them, and to learn in the suffering even better who you are, why you are here, what you truly want to do, and who you truly want to become. And that which yesterday you dreamt, today you experience. That which today you dream, tomorrow you shall experience, until all that you have possibly imagined to desire has been experienced. So, gauge carefully that which you desire, for you shall receive it.

Although we say in many different ways that you cannot lose your way amidst whatever change, we would say, as always, that a great aid in keeping one’s balance in the midst of great transformation is the daily habit of silence. Whether it be contemplation, meditation, a silent walk, whatever it be that is your own prayer of the heart, open that heart to the silence daily and allow the experience that is coming through you to seat itself there. For time spent in silence is time spent with the Creator. And what a blessing for the Creator to spend time in silence with you. For there is no asking and there is no telling, but just the meaning. And the Creator craves your company and your communion and loves you so dearly, and waits for you so patiently to remember who you are, and whose.

May each of you be about your business. May each of you, as this instrument says, bring each other home. For you see, in that mirror world, each of you is, to the other, the picture of the self, the picture of the Creator. What shall you mirror by your thoughts this day? What Creator shall you be to those about you? And what being shall you be to yourself? May each of you enter your own heart in a mood to forgive completely, to fall completely in love with yourself just as you are. This is an important step in the evolution of the spirit, this ability to accept the self as it is, with every distortion, every folly, everything that the illusion seems to be telling you about yourself. For, you see, you are looking so hard at a personality shell that is not really there. Instead, depend upon that self that is beneath the surface, that will well up in the silence and tell you who you are when you need to know it, will give you new information when you need it, and may tell you to wait when you least want to hear it. Fall in love with that self that is you. Forgive and love that self, and you will find it easy to love the rest of the selves about you. Or at least as easy to love as it was to love the self.

Now Q’uo said that some puzzles are easier to solve than others, so they suggested that we follow our discrimination and not judge ourselves as we are dealing with difficult catalyst because we came here to make mistakes and to suffer, and by this suffering we would choose to live by faith and freely choose the good, the true, and the beautiful for no reason except that it is a beautiful thing to live our life according to a fair and truthful principle. Q’uo went on to say that we have seen how much light a person can shine into this world just by being who they are, and these are the kinds of ambitions that we came into this world with as a spirit: to choose the good, to give and receive love because every learning and every service has its roots in these simple hopes. Then Q’uo said that there will be times when we feel lost and without hope as a part of going through the refining process of Earth, but we should remember to have the faith that all is well. Q’uo went on to say that after many incarnations we are here to seek the light of the fourth density, so now we are ready to gather more experience, make mistakes, and make decisions as to who we are, where we are going, and what it is that we desire, but then Q’uo said that we should be careful with what we desire because we will get it. Then Q’uo suggested that in order to keep our balance in the midst of transformation that we should spend time daily in silence in order to open our heart to experience the Creator’s love for us and Its desire for us to know who we are and that we are part of the Creator. Q’uo continued by saying that: “each of you is, to the other, the picture of the self, the picture of the Creator. What shall you mirror by your thoughts this day? What Creator shall you be to those about you? And what being shall you be to yourself?” Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we should forgive and love ourself, and then we will find it easy to love everyone around us as easily as it is to love the self. On May 4, 1986, L/Leema said if we can love the self that we can love others:

I am L/Leema, and we find that in general, this is correct, for as the entity which each is moves into this illusion, the first awareness is the awareness of self, and this awareness becomes the foundation upon which all experience is built. To learn to accept and love the self is to begin to build the foundation for loving others upon firm ground, for the self, in truth, is, in little, all that one will experience within the illusion, for through the eyes of the self, all experience must pass, and thus one will see and love the world in the same fashion that one sees and loves the self. Since for the self, all begins within the self, there first must love be found.

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

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in the love and the light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which those present may have for us.

Is there another query at this time?

E: The sun and moon have a great deal of influence on us, and is it by accident or design that they are the same size in the sky? That is, the moon perfectly superimposes the sun.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. As it is the nature of the one Creator to allow for the expression of free will throughout the one creation, the formation of this creation in such and such a fashion is that which falls under the provenance of those entities which you would call the Logoi, which you have discussed this day to some extent. Thus, each entity of completeness that you see in your sky, known to you as the star, is an entity which takes the infinite mind of the one Creator and refines it in a fashion which this entity hopes will offer avenues of expression to the one Creator that are efficient in what you would call the evolutionary process. This extends to those bodies in your sky of which you have spoken that are arranged in a fashion which seems at first to be of chaos, and yet when investigated more closely reveals an order all about. The fact that the moon body of your local planetary sphere is of the identical size of the sun body at most opportunities of observation is of a nature of choice which is beyond our ken of understanding. Yet we do perceive that this choice was made consciously for a purpose that we are unable to plum, and this is not so unusual for us or for any who looks carefully at the one creation about one. For all about there are clues. There is a trail to the one Creator. There is a mystery that has a solution that reveals itself by slow degrees, and so we see that which is and ponder its meaning and take what we can from that which we observe. In short, we cannot give you the reason why but can say that this is so and was chosen so.

Is there a further query, my brother?

K: Will you speak to us of your knowledge of those who are known as the Children of the Law of One?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There have been various times in this planetary sphere’s evolutionary process that some of the population of this entity has partaken in a more pure degree, shall we say, of the knowledge of the unity of all things. Many there have been upon this planetary surface who have felt in some way this harmonious unity and have, by their desire to know more, drawn to themselves information from those who are of the Law of One and members of what we have called the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator. And as these entities have been called to service by the population of this planetary sphere this service has taken various forms, not only the telepathic kind of communication that we engage in at this time but also the movement into the incarnative patterns of the planet as that which you have called the wanderer, moving in groups or clans, shall we say, that have had more or less influence at different portions of your planet’s history. The most well known being that of the entities who incarnated within the eighteenth dynasty in the area of your holy land or that which is now called Egypt. There were those at this time who moved, shall we say, heaven and earth that the Law of One should become the means by which the One Creator was worshipped and the life upon the planetary sphere was lived. At other times, such as the movement of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays into the area which you call Peru, in which time there was also the sharing of the information concerning the unity of all things. In each instance it was the intention of these entities that you have called the sons and daughters of the Law of One, or the Children of the Law of One, that it was given to the planetary population to understand that this was that which they were seeking by the nature of their beliefs. At this time there was also the movement of these entities and those of a similar nature to again share this law of singleness with those who seek such.

Is there another query, my brother?

[Tape change.]

Is there another query at this time?

S: In the last few months I have received a lot of help in my spiritual growth, and I was wondering if you could tell me what help I have received. Who? What? Where? I was wondering if you could give me a little more detail on this.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother, and find that there is information of this nature which we may share but that there is some concern that we do not abridge free will. When an entity such as yourself seeks with a strong desire in the area of the spiritual evolution there are many unseen hands which move in concert to answer this call. Each entity such as yourself has those presences about him which are from birth given the honor and the duty to watch over and guide the progress of those within their care. In your case there are those who have been called, not only from birth, but according to the interests and areas of investigation which you have undertaken in this time period of which you speak. Thus, added to the angelic presences that are seen most commonly by your peoples as guides—those of the male and those of the female and those of the androgynous nature—there are also those inner planes teachers which have responded to the particular interests which you have given your attention to. Thus, not only do you find their influence in the books which make themselves available to you and the meetings of other entities in your daily round of activities that seem synchronistic but also in the moving into certain activities such as the joining of this weekend gathering of seekers that may seem in some to have been coincidental. Yet each step was carefully planned, not only by such invisible assistance but by those portions of yourself which you may see as your higher self, which is that great resource which may be called upon in the silence of the open heart. As one moves along the path of seeking the intensity of the desire is that which is seen as foremost in importance in responding to a seeker’s call for assistance. Thus, you attract to you those whose desire to serve is as strong as your desire to seek. In this way there is the opportunity to give information in many forms that will assist in opening to the heart and to the mind those layers of self that are most in need of being explored.

Is there a further query, brother?

S: I would like to express my appreciation to those who have given me such assistance and I would appreciate it if it could continue. It has been enlightening and, at times, humorous.

I am Q’uo, and you may rest assured, my brother, that your gratitude is felt most purely by those who send their gratitude as well for the opportunity to be of service.

Is there another query at this time?

S: Yes, I think of you and who you are and what you are, and you mentioned you are service to others, blah, blah, blah. The information and the way you project things… did you go to channeling school, and take channeling classes, and have channeling parties with your channeling friends, and get a degree in channelology? I am curious on more details as to how you answer our calls.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are members of those who are called the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow. It is the sorrow upon the planetary surface and within the peoples of this planetary sphere that calls us here. This sorrow is expressed in many ways. That which you may call an intense desire to seek the truth is a shining light amidst the sorrow, and that which gives great joy to all who beholds such light. And yet, it is the sorrow that calls us here. The lack of knowledge of the one Creator. The lack of light. The lack of love. The heart that is closed. The mind that is beaten upon by the culture in which it cannot find expression. There are as many ways to feel and express sorrow in this third-density illusion as there are entities within it. And each seeks in some fashion that which may be called the truth. As we see those who express the kind of seeking and sorrow that we are able to respond to, we are desirous in the extreme in moving to these entities in whatever way is possible. It is rare that we are able to speak as we do now, through instruments such as this one and others in a mind-to-mind contact that allows the expression of words. It is far more usual in our experience of serving entities such as yourselves that we would move in an unseen fashion, perhaps working in dreams, creating an opportunity in meditation to transmit a hunch, an intuition, a feeling, a direction, a thought, an image, a tone. In such a way are we most able to reach the greater majority, shall we say, of those who seek that which we have to offer.

Is there another query at this time?

V: May I know the nature, positive or negative, of the entity Turquoise?

I am Q’uo, and though we are aware of your query, my sister, we find that we are bated by the Law of Confusion from giving any information concerning this entity. We apologize for our lack of information.

Is there another query at this time?

S: I would like to ask for my bashful wife about the troubles of her feet, and I was hoping that you could tell me how we could alleviate the condition that troubles her?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Again, in order not to move beyond that line of infringement, we would suggest that it is well to look at the nature of the ailment, the arena, shall we say, in which this aliment has arisen. The nature of the experience that brings about the pain and the philosophical approach to this aspect of the life pattern that has brought this situation to the notice. If one is able to move along the trail of clues that the physical body gives one when the mind has not completely processed catalyst it is possible to find that area of movement that has yet to be investigated that will, when investigated, cause the cessation of the difficulty.

Is there a further query, my brother?

R: You speak with us of the entities that are gathered with this particular group, the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow, and you have mentioned that you can be present with us in our personal meditations. Can you speak about that topic a bit?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Those of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator who have been members, shall we say, of this group’s circle of seeking are always, in some degree, aiding in the conducting of these sessions of seeking. Those of Hatonn, who were the first contact with this group many of your years ago, are more of what you would call the elder statesmen, lending their vibrations without dividing them into words. Those of Laitos, who have worked with many of the new instruments who have moved through this group, also have lent their vibration at this time and at any time that this group meets. There are those of Oxal, who have rarely in recent times been part of this group’s activities in the sense of the telepathic channeling, yet who also lend their blessings and their vibrations to the seeking and the service within this group. There are others within the Confederation of Planets who have offered themselves over the years of this group’s history in a manner which may be seen as sending the basic vibration of love that aids in each heart’s opening in some degree to the messages offered by other members of the Confederation. Some there are who have not chosen what you call the naming, who are unseen and unnamed, who have had their influence and continue to do so within this group’s circle of seeking. Each entity is available upon the mental request of any in this circle of seeking to join that seeker in the private meditation, not to speak or to communicate in words, but simply to lend the conditioning vibration which aids in the deepening of the meditation of those who call. This is our privilege and our honor, to aid each entity who calls in the meditative state. It is a steadying influence which brings a more focused approach for the seeker to the listening to the silence, to the one Creator, to the heart of the self.

Is there another query at this time?

K: Does the entity known as Edgar Cayce who passed from this life in January of 1945 live again?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother, and we would answer in the affirmative. Is there a final query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and as it appears that we have exhausted the queries for the nonce we shall once again express our great gratitude to each present for the great sacrifice that each has made to become a part of this community of seekers at this time and in this place. We would encourage each to see the self as a member of an even larger family of goodly souls who seek the One and who serve the One in all. Remember, each one of you, that you do not walk alone, that there are those who rejoice at every step taken with you, for this is a difficult illusion in which you find yourselves moving at this time. Your friends would seem to be confusion, doubt, fear, defeat, and being humbled daily by the difficulties of existing in such a heavy, chemical illusion. And yet, you do move with such encumbrances and yet the courage that each shows in continuing upon the journey, moving as the Fool from the cliff with no sure footing or idea of the next step, is that kind of action which inspires entities such as ourselves greatly as we observe the valor, the courage, the faith, the will, and the determination of so many seekers such as yourselves upon this planet at this time. The seeking is most intense. The service is ever more lovingly offered. The light shines ever more brilliantly through all of the difficulties and distress that are so much more apparent upon the surface of things in this illusion. We add our love and service to your own, as do many others, so that that which you accomplish can be seen to be as the fulcrum that allows a greater leverage in the overall evolution of this planetary entity.

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

This morning I recorded the section on Interactions With Systems from Chapter Seven of 102. Then I went on an errand run with my first stop being at the Louisville Endoscopy Center to pick up my glasses that I left there yesterday after my colonoscopy. My next stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a couple of prescriptions and bought some non-food items and some Pepsi Zero.

This afternoon I recorded the section on Stewardship of the Planet from Chapter Seven of 102. Then I went outside and put the Ginko leaves that I had blown into two piles yesterday into seven garbage cans to be picked up tomorrow morning.

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

December 4

The Instinct Of Creation To Praise

I am of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ who comes in the name of the one infinite God. I greet you in the full consciousness of Christ, which is Love.

Every creature which is perfect of its kind is a true picture of the face of God. Each flower that blooms shouts with its colors in praise and blessing of the One who made it. All that is, is full of the instinctive Love of its Creator.

Humankind alone removes itself again and again from the Creator’s praise, interpreting the signs and events of experience in ways that do not honor the Love that created all. Do you think that you bloom with truer colors than the flower, you who doubt that each experience is full of Love? Again, you betray the Love and honor which would be yours to offer if those who were self-conscious were also fully conscious.

It is the faith which we who are of the principle of Christ seek again and again to strengthen in you which alone can inform human consciousness of the divinity of all things and of their true color. Praise is not possible for most who are selfconscious without such aid. And yet the instinct to praise and bless one’s Creator is a true part of your makeup.

Seek, then, the grace of the Holy Spirit, that you may become a blooming flower, rejoicing in the Light of a sun that always shines regardless of the appearance of evanescent clouds.

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 September 10, 2000:

Our question today concerns the seasons of awakening. Each person seems to have a time and a way of realizing more of the heart of the nature of the life experience and consciously becomes desirous of learning more of accelerating it, of growing, and really taking things in hand. We would like for Q’uo to speak to us of these seasons of awakening: how we might cooperate with them, foster them, and work with them, not only in ourselves but in other people as well.

(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. It is a great blessing to be called to your meeting, and we thank you for seeking this circle of seeking as part of your spiritual practice. We know that each of you sacrifices something in order to spend time in this search for truth, and we thank you, for it truly enables us to be able to share our service with you as we have hoped to do. For we are here as a service to those who are seeking and who wish another voice to consider.

We would ask that each be careful to realize that we are not authority figures but really brothers and sisters who travel the same spiritual road, who are looking for answers to the same mysteries. We are happy to share our thoughts but, as always, we ask that you leave behind those thoughts that may present a stumbling block. Take only those that are useful to you and move on. And we would encourage you to practice this discrimination with all sources that you may hear or read, for, truly, authority resides in the resonance between your own nature and that which you need. When you meet your own personal truth, it has a resonance to it that is unmistakable, and we ask you to trust that and not some outer authority, no matter how persuasive or powerful.

You ask this afternoon concerning awakening and change. And since there are several levels of discussion in this subject, we would choose the more general one with which to begin. We would discuss the basic concept of incarnational lessons. The mechanisms of change are somewhat cyclical and, spiritually speaking, descend from the level of pre-incarnative placement of the self and of the lessons of the incarnation that were set up by the self and by the higher self and other guidance, before incarnation. Before incarnation, each spirit that is now incarnate in a physical body on planet Earth had a great deal of say in choosing what lessons of love it wished to concentrate on during the upcoming lifetime and what outer services it might be able to specialize in sharing.

When the lifetime begins, memory of this process of choosing the basic themes of the incarnation or the basic lessons of the incarnation is removed. The veil descends, and in complete forgetfulness and innocence the physical child is born with a destiny that is, in some way, complete. This, however, does not abrogate free will. For it is the choices that this entity makes as it faces the relationships that it has chosen to offer itself and the catalyst that it has chosen to offer itself that will create the actual distortions that will be followed throughout the pattern of a lifetime. Consequently, the same relationships and the same situations may occur three different times but if the person is in three different states of mind the outcome of the same catalyst can be three different outcomes, and this is basically the structure of change throughout an incarnation. There will be a repeating theme, or perhaps two or even three themes, of incarnational lessons which bring up material having to do with one or another lesson of love that becomes familiar to the spirit in incarnation to some extent. Each time that it repeats it becomes a little clearer. At least that is the process that is hoped before incarnation.

In actuality many times a person in the midst of a difficult situation may choose to feel that it is the relationship or the situation that is at fault, rather than the self needing to pay attention to relationship or situation. Consequently, the solution chosen by the careless thinker may be to leave the relationship or leave the situation, thinking that another person or another situation will change that which is wrong. It is only when the pattern is repeated with another person or when another situation develops that brings in the same themes that the person may begin to feel that there may be a theme and that it may be worth attending to in hopes of learning the lesson, achieving the learning desired, and being able to move on to more interesting lessons. This is a general scheme of spiritual evolution that is at the unconscious level that is designed to work while the person is asleep, spiritually speaking, and designed to be very vulnerable to being accelerated by the person who has awakened.

Now let us speak concerning this situation where some are asleep, and some are awake as spirits. The hope of each entity who enters the Earth plane at this time is graduation from this density. Each entity who has achieved incarnation at this time is capable of expressing full enough awareness of love and service to others to graduate this density in this lifetime with just a little more effort. In each case the spirit that each is before incarnation has real hopes of making some strides towards cementing that graduating ability, that ability to receive and transmit the Light of the infinite Creator.

However, as we said, it is part of the plan of a school of life and love that depends on faith alone and not knowledge that all knowledge that can be proven of the reality of the spirit be removed from the conscious mind so that during incarnation the spirit that each of you is, is faced with a journey that is strictly a journey of faith. There is really no way to prove spiritual principles, except by subjective experience and subjective conclusions drawn from subjective thinking. In other words, there is no objective spiritual proof possible. This is a protected illusion in which faith alone can bring the seeker through. The mechanism of destiny set by each before incarnation will periodically bring great confusion and trouble into the patterns of energy of each seeker, and it will attempt in a mechanical and rather blunt instrument sort of way to move the thinking of that person from head to heart, from intellect to openhearted love, and it will or will not have an effect depending on something that cannot be taught or bought or predicted or encouraged or manipulated, and that is the condign pre-set alarm clock of each individual within the Earth plane.

Each entity dwelling in an incarnative body has her alarm clock set for a certain triggered time. Now, many hit that triggered time and rather than waking up, hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. To some extent this tendency can be manipulated, but we would recommend that it be left completely to each seeker as to when that seeker will actually awake. For it truly is an awakening process. It is as if entities of Earth are born into a certain kind of dream which they can dream nicely all the way from cradle to grave. However, there is a likelihood that there will be an awakening from this level of dream into a higher and more overarching level of dreaming which involves more light and more so-called reality. And in this awakened state it can be seen that this incarnation is not simply the days and the nights of someone working until it falls into its grave but is the adventures in flesh of citizens of eternity that are not bound by time or space.

The group question for this session was: “Our question today concerns the seasons of awakening. Each person seems to have a time and a way of realizing more of the heart of the nature of the life experience and consciously becomes desirous of learning more of accelerating it, of growing, and really taking things in hand. We would like for Q’uo to speak to us of these seasons of awakening: how we might cooperate with them, foster them, and work with them, not only in ourselves but in other people as well.” Q’uo began by saying that they wanted to discuss the more general means of awakening that are pre-incarnatively programmed in cooperation with the higher self that give us the lessons that we wish to learn and the services that we want to offer. Then Q’uo said that all of these lessons are forgotten when we are born and move through the veil of forgetting so that our destiny has been set, but we still have free will to look at the catalyst that comes from the relationships that we have chosen so that our patterns of choices may repeat a number of times during our lives, so we see our lessons of love more clearly each time that they repeat. Q’uo went on to say that many times we may see difficulties in a relationship and blame the relationship for them rather than our perception of them, and our solution may be to leave the relationship only to see the difficulty repeating in our next relationship. They continued by saying that there is a general theme of our spiritual evolution at the unconscious level that is designed to work while we are asleep, spiritually speaking, but it is also designed to be accelerated when we have awakened. Then Q’uo said that those of us incarnating at this time are hopeful of graduating to the fourth density and to develop that ability to receive and transmit the Light of the infinite Creator. Now Q’uo said: “it is part of the plan of a school of life and love that depends on faith alone and not knowledge that all knowledge that can be proven of the reality of the spirit be removed from the conscious mind so that during incarnation the spirit that each of you is, is faced with a journey that is strictly a journey of faith.” Q’uo said that we cannot prove spiritual principles, except by our subjective experience, so there is no objective spiritual proof possible, and we live in an illusion in which our faith alone can sustain us on our spiritual path. They went on to say that our destiny, which we chose before our incarnation, will often bring great confusion into our patterns of energy, and it will attempt to move our thinking in a blunt way from our head to our heart, and it will or will not succeed depending upon the pre-set alarm clock of each of us within the Earth plane. Now Q’uo said that when we incarnate into our bodies we are living in a dream, and at some point we will have the opportunity to awaken from this dream into a higher level of dreaming that includes more of the light of the reality of our being is that of the adventures in flesh of citizens of eternity, and that we are not bound by time or space. On May 4, 2003, Q’uo defined how we all are citizens of eternity:

Serving someone is fundamentally the awareness that you and the person you are serving are one entity, united, singular, and absolutely equal. Rejoicing in the apparent differences, a servant of the light relates to other selves as “themselves,” knowing that the self and the other-self are a certain kind of entity, citizens of eternity, dwellers beyond time and space, within a universe that is as wide as infinity and as small as the interior of the human heart. Indeed, may we say that from our perspective, the universe lies within each of your hearts and all the stars, and all the galaxies actually reside within. So, as you sit upon your blanket and gaze at the outward stars, you are also gazing within at precisely the same view. That which lies within you is infinity, blessing, grace, and the infinite Creator whose consciousness is all that there is.

Service is bound up in the knowing of this relationship and this nature so that when one who is a servant of the Light and of the Godhead principle, shall we say, gazes upon an other self, no matter what that self is asking, the basic service is the connection of unity without judgment of any kind but with absolute faith that this entity is a spiritual entity and is to be honored, loved, respected, and treated as a spiritual entity.

This is a huge change in consciousness: to become self-aware that one is a citizen of eternity. This is a real awakening, and when this occurs, there is a shift. It is as if before you were plodding upon the land, and suddenly now you are on the ocean and moving quickly. And you cannot walk out of the boat and onto the water and onto safe shores. Indeed, you are on a path that cannot be predicted beforetime and that has many elements that are not linear. Consequently, there is a tremendous amount of experience that comes very quickly when the awakening occurs. To our way of thinking, it is a time for rejoicing when the spirit that you are has this sense of awakening to a deeper level of reality, to a fuller sense of life, to a wider appreciation of the possibilities of the present moment. It is not that learning can be accumulated like bricks until a wall can be built to house the knowledge of the mysteries involved in being who we are, but rather, that the fuller the light that we are standing in and working with the more of that light that we can send through our selves and into the creation to lighten those energy patterns about us.

When an entity wakes up it is as if a light has been switched on. It is not a light that can ever truly be put out again, for there is an awareness there. A change has been made, and it cannot be undone. When the awakened entity views those who are still asleep it can seem desirable to shake them up and wake them up. And as the one known as S mentioned, it is perfectly all right when talking about things that interests us to mention such things and drop a seed here and there. There is no infringement on free will in doing so. However, to move further than the first mention of an interesting topic or thought without a substantially positive response is to begin to encroach upon that person’s privacy and free will. We would encourage, rather, the attitude of trust and faith that each person’s incarnational schedule is set as it should be, that if they are still asleep they should still be asleep, that something is going on that in the pattern of that person’s life will work out perfectly for that person.

The person each needs to focus on in terms of spiritual work is the self. For, truly, the self is the universe. The self is the Creator. The self is all that there is. For all is one. The unity of all that there is, is beyond understanding and an attempt to explain its nature devolves into paradox. This is as it should be, we feel, and we are, as we have said before, content to allow the mystery to escape us. We continue to pursue the mystery of deity, the mystery of essence, and although we have come to feel that we know many, many things we still find our reliance in the values upon which you are now focused: love itself. And that precious feeling, instinct, to help.

Thatdesire is as a passion that shall burn through many lifetimes and many densities, and each of you will be that which brings beauty and healing, not because of the outer gifts that you share, but because of your being, because of the nature of your self as you meet the present moment. Regardless of the rate of change, indeed, regardless of the rate and pace of the busy days that each of you experiences, we encourage each of you to find time to be. For in the midst of whatever change you are, in the midst of whatever transformation, beyond all levels of alteration, you are who you are. And you have a basic nature and vibration that has been your signature of love for eons. All that you do within this incarnation shall burnish it up a little, shine it a bit, perhaps correct some distortion that you, as a spirit, see in the overall pattern as you gaze between lifetimes in leisure and patience.

But for now, have faith in yourself, and know that you need to spend that time just being, whether it is in meditation, taking a walk, sitting and holding hands and looking at the sunset, whatever chance that you have to share the silence and let the mind come to a halt and just be, take that moment and let your heart open and flower and blossom, and let your nature roll out in sympathy and harmony with all of the other natures of creation whatever. Let yourself sing like the stars, and the trees, and the wind and the fire at the heart of the planet, for you, as much as any of these elements of nature, are elemental, are yourself, are authentic and are a part of the good and the healing of your planet and your people.

May each of you take the time to become aware of yourself as these wonderful energy systems that allow the energy of the great original Thought of Love to come rolling through and out into the Earth plane. Only entities and incarnations such as you can give that gift to the Earth. Many of you are wanderers who came here specifically to act as transducers for light upon Earth, to lighten the planet, to lighten the vibration, to help Earth at this time. All awakened entities, whether mature Earth natives ready for graduation or wanderers hopefully ready for the same graduation, now have this opportunity to lend their love and their light in service to those upon the Earth. We hope that you encourage and support each other as each of you attempts to become more truly yourself amidst all of the changes and transformations that you experience.

Now Q’uo said that as citizens of eternity we are standing in a fuller Light and working with more of that Light that we can send through ourselves and out into the creation to lighten the energy patterns around us. Q’uo went on to say that once we have awakened to this Light that there is no going back to sleep, and if we want to help others awaken that it is acceptable to plant a seed of inspiration without any dedication to an outcome but simply relax in the faith that however long they may remain unawakened is part of what is supposed to be happening within them. Then Q’uo said that in terms of spiritual work we should remember that we are the universe, the Creator, and all that there is, and we should keep our focus on the concept of love, that instinctual feeling of serving others. Q’uo said that this desire to serve others has been a part of our being for many lifetimes, and it is the greatest gift that we have in the present moment, and Q’uo encouraged each of us to find time to simply be because no matter what kind of transformation we are going through because we are who we are, we have the basic nature and vibration of Love that has been our identity for eons of time. Q’uo continued by saying that we should have faith in ourself and spend time just being in meditation, taking a walk, looking at the sunset, or entering into the silence and letting our mind come to a halt and just be, and let our heart open, and flower, and blossom because this will heal the planet and its people.  Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we take the time to become aware of ourself as: “these wonderful energy systems that allow the energy of the great original Thought of Love to come rolling through and out into the Earth plane,” and they said that many of us are wanderers who have come to Earth to lighten its planetary vibrations or third density graduates who lend their love and their light in service to those upon the Earth. On May 22, 2006, Q’uo described our nature as energy systems:

All entities that are self-conscious beings – that is all of the tribe of humankind – possess energy systems that have integrity. And within that integrity the mind, body, and spirit of an individual are knitted together as three flaps of a rope, making a very strong, very sturdy, and yet very sensitive instrument through which to view the experiences of an incarnation, and to use those experiences to glean a harvest of beauty, joy, sorrow, suffering, service, learning, and enhanced feelings of balance and understanding.

This energy is uniquely yours. It is no one else’s. Only you, of all of the bits of the Creator in the universe, have your signal, your strength, your power, your balance, and your web of perception. You are so special. Each and every being upon the planet is just as special, just as unique, and just as necessary a part of the intricate weaving together of a plan of the Creator.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument in love and light, and with thanks. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves in the attempt to answer any further queries from those in this circle. May we ask if there is another query at this time?

S: It’s good to hear from you again. There is a girl whom we work with, and her daughter is having health problems at 13, and they seem unusual at that age. Is there anything that we can do to help or advise? Any suggestions that you might have would be most helpful.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We appreciate the opening of the heart energy center upon your part in the consideration of that which would be helpful to the young entity of whom you speak. We are not those who give what you would call life readings or assessments of entities in order that one remedy or another be applied for any malady that may be found, for there are those who have this skill and use it well. We, on the other hand, are more philosophically oriented among those who seek to serve Earth at this time. And, thus, it would be our suggestion that any assistance given to this entity be that which is a natural outgrowth of the interaction between the group that is your family and the group that is this entity’s family so that there be the normal progression of conversation which expresses the concern for the welfare of the young entity and the desire to be of service. When this seed is thusly planted and interest is noticed, then one may continue to water the seed with the attention that you may offer through one avenue or another. The choice of avenues is that which we would recommend by utilizing the intuition, the feeling within your deeper self that there is a path that can be taken and action that can be offered and, moreover, a concern, a love that can be shown by the entire process of interaction. Thus, the attention given to this situation may be nourished in love, contemplated with the mind, and directed with the intuition.

Is there another query, my brother?

S: Yeah, there is a tree in our backyard that’s not been real healthy but provides wonderful shade and is a beautiful tree, and it’s something that we enjoy when we are outside. We wonder if there is anything that we can help with the health of this beautiful maple tree?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. You will not be surprised to discover that our suggestion for this entity is similar to our suggestion to the previous entity. However, the means of communication between you and this entity may be somewhat different in that the second-density entities known to you as trees are those which also respond to that quality of love which comes from the open heart. Again, in this instance we would recommend that in the shading and protective arms of this entity you retire yourself into meditation seeking not only a direction for yourself but the establishment of a feeling-tone, shall we say, between yourself and this tree entity. Find the silence within, and when that silence has been achieved, move in harmony and sympathy into a communication with the tree. Ask what it needs. Await a response which may or may not be in the form of your words. If you are able to perceive an image or a feeling that comes after the asking of the question, pay attention to that image and to that feeling. Follow either as a trail of communication is laid. Trust that this tree knows its needs and appreciates your love. Perhaps it will be necessary to achieve this meditation for a number of your days before there is a clear response. Perhaps the response will come immediately. However long or short the response time may be, then move in action according to that which you perceive, and trust your ability to perceive the response from the tree.

Is there another query, my brother?

S: I had many questions before coming here, yet they seem to escape me at this point, so I will turn the questioning over to anyone else who has one.

Carla: It’s the first time I have had a chance to talk to you since I finished the handbook. I don’t know if you have the capability to perceive what has been written, but if you do, I would just wonder if you are satisfied with what is in it, or if you have other things that you would like to see in it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We are most honored to have been mentioned in this work in a number of references. We are aware that this work has been one which is both fatiguing and enlivening, for the effort is great, yet the feeling of achievement that we feel within your energy system is substantial for the accomplishment of this work. We, of course, are not in the role of the critic, though if we were would have little purpose to fulfill, for we are aware that you have been most diligent in covering those areas which are of concern to entities such as yourself and many others like you who seek that which may be called the truth and seek it within a very difficult environment in which there is much of metaphysical or spiritual twilight, the lighting of the path for the next step of the path being dim in some cases, bright in others, various at all times, and we are aware that there are those concerns within this volume that are spoken to in a clear and enlightening manner so that those who are able to read this book may feel the same inspiration and information that has been felt by the few who have read it to date.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: I had a gal write in to me that had a sore arm which she had abused physically and wore it out, with tennis elbow and golf arm and everything else wrong with it. She was afflicted by a new age healer who wrote her and upset her terribly and said she had all kinds of things wrong with her emotionally which were causing her to have this sore arm, and I wondered if you could comment with anything that I could say to this woman to express that it is not her fault that she has a sore arm. I really hate new age guilt, and I really dislike doctors and healers who make their patients feel guilty for feeling bad. I know there is something between the psyche and the soma, but I would really appreciate any comments that you may have that I could send to this woman.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. When we consider requests such as this we look again to the preamble that we offer before each contact is made with this and any other group that we are privileged to contact and that each entity present be encouraged to exercise the personal discrimination so that any information that comes before its notice be subjected to that inner knowing that each entity possesses that can direct it surely and safely along this journey of seeking the truth. For each entity’s truth will be somewhat different though it partakes of the same great truth of the unity of all things created by Love. Each entity must be aware that there is a unique journey that it is traveling and will travel. When information is made available that may or may not aid this journey then it is that the mind first looks at the information and assesses it upon an intellectual level and determines one thing or another about the information. Then the mind gives over the assessment of any information to what may be called the intuition, to the heart, to the deeper self, to that deeper knowing that each entity possesses. It is here that a feeling is generated in response to any thoughts about information offered. And it is this feeling from within that one must trust. We would suggest that this entity and any other entity in a similar situation take the information that has been given it into the meditative state after having considered it intellectually, and within the meditative state allow the feeling tones to arise from within that are the heart’s response to that which has been given from without, and then to follow this feeling to its conclusion, whether it be to accept all, some or none of the information offered, and to do this with a feeling of love and gratitude for the Creator of us all and to the individualized portion of that one Creator which offers information to the one to be healed.

Is there any further query, my sister?

Carla: No, but I will be very happy to send that on to her. Thanks.

T: I have a question, if you still are up to it. I come here and always enjoy the silent meditation and I sit here and start meditating and sometimes, like today, I didn’t hear anything that was said. I am just stoned and as high as I can be on the meditation, but could you comment on this incredible energy that I feel, and this whole process?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are most pleased that you have been able to experience the basic vibrational frequency of our contact.

[Tape change.]

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. The vibrational frequency that is the result of our vibrations and your own, blended in an harmonious fashion, is the heart of what we have to offer. It moves beyond words. It moves beyond feelings. It, hopefully, gives an inspiration to those who are able to perceive it. This inspiration is that which is as a, what you may call, blank check. One may take this inspirational energy and fill in the blank as to how it shall be used, what shall be considered, or if there shall be the thoughts related to it at all. In our speaking to you we not only infuse thoughts upon this basic carrier wave, but we fashion words that are in response to queries asked so that we take this basic vibrational frequency and shape a portion of it in such and such a fashion that it might communicate to both the mind and to the heart and, hopefully, to the spirit as well. If the words spoken during our sessions with you do not register, then one may consider the possibility that these words were not for you this day and move on without a second thought. However, if one is also able to feel the inspiration of the basic carrier wave then the fundamental portion of our service to you has been accomplished and we are grateful to each for any opportunity to serve that was made available to us.

Is there another query at this time?

T: Yeah, if you’re not too tired. I had a conversation with a crazy friend of mine who has never had anyone to talk to about things important to us. His wife has developed Alzheimer’s, and he is now back on the bottle. We talked and he wanted to know what faith was. He didn’t know if he had any. I said that his feelings were like his faith, and he should have faith in what comes out. Could you give a quick comment on faith?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The trust of which you speak in relation to faith is not only in one’s feelings but the feeling that despite that which one sees and experiences that one knows that all is well, that one knows that all will be well, that what is occurring at any moment is appropriate and may be learned from in an effective manner which enhances the evolutionary journey. Each entity along this journey will have those times of doubt, of trial, of confusion, of feeling lost, of feeling alone. All of these and many more experiences are those which test one’s character, which offer one kind of lesson or another. There are as many kinds of learning as there are entities to learn. However, in each experience and for each entity, if one can uncover that feeling of faith within and let it be the north star, the Polaris of the self, then one may move without fear and accept whatever is the daily round of activities as they come to one. For an entity that is filled with faith, there is no challenge too great. For any entity without faith, all challenges feel too great. Faith is that which one develops by wishing to develop faith. If one feels faith is lacking in the life pattern, begin to investigate the qualities of faith, the nature of faith, and begin to act as though you have faith, and faith will come to you. Moreover, faith will come through you, for faith is like love. It is a basic quality of this and all creations. If one can begin to exercise the quality of faith it is much like your physical muscle. It will grow in strength and ability.

Is there another query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you very much. That is wonderful. Thank you.

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

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and we again thank each present for offering us the opportunity of joining your circle of seeking this day. It, as always, has been a great privilege to speak to each present, to offer our thoughts and words, humble as they are, to those concerns of heart, and mind, and soul. Know that you do not walk alone ever upon this journey. Not only do you have friends within your illusion, but there are those guides and presences that have been with you from the beginning of this illusion and who will not leave you until this illusion for you has ended as well. Each seeks a way to inspire, to guide, and to offer the hand when needed. In your meditations seek there the guidance from all those who wish you well upon the inner planes. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and at this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the ineffable light and love of the infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I recorded the section on Weather from Chapter Seven of 102. Then Trish took me to the Louisville Endoscopy Center for a colonoscopy.

This afternoon I recorded the section on Water in Chapter Seven of 102. Then I went outside and used my backpack blower to blow the Mulberry Tree leaves into the pile of leaves beside the front of the driveway.

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

December 3

The Blessedness Of Agony

I am the Spirit of the consciousness of Love, the principle of Jesus Christ in the vibration which comforts this instrument and many besides.

We come to all, to each in the vibration which may comfort each, for Christ discriminates not betwixt souls, considering one to be more blessed or beloved than another. Nor does the principle of love consider one situation to be more blessed than another.

You who are fortunate and content may consider yourselves blessed, yet you are no more blessed or beloved than the soul which is in torment or in agony. When the soul may begin to see the blessedness of agony and the glory of honest error and slothful iniquity, embracing all and offering all alike to Christ in thanksgiving, then we may speak more and more clearly and more often.

The seasons of repentance are also seasons of fruitful listening to those who seek to cherish their pain but not the agony which produces pain. Cherish not your hurt but your sin, offering it and all of your old life to Christ. For in the surrender of responsibility is also the acceptance of redemption.

We say this not to encourage a spirit of carelessness but rather a deeper responsibility; that is, the responsibility to see the face of Christ and not the face of humankind. For are you not a dweller in eternity? We offer you eternal peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel 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 May 21, 2000:

Our question today has to do with being of service to others, and we would like some guidelines as to when we are actually being of service to others and when we have gone too far and infringed upon an entity’s free will.

(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 you for calling us to your circle of seeking and for asking us the interesting question about the boundaries of service to others and free will. As we speak we would request that, as always, that each use his or her discernment to determine those thoughts of ours which may have resonance and which thoughts need to be left behind. We trust each seeker’s discrimination, and it would be a service to us if each could, indeed, leave behind those thoughts which do not ring true. For in their own way, such thoughts are a subtle infringement, and we would not wish that. Authority itself has the ring of infringement, and we would like to take away any taint of authority from our words, for we do not feel that we have any over you, or that we are wiser than you but, rather, simply that we have more experience. We are glad to share that experience and our thoughts with you, but we greatly appreciate it if you would do us this favor.

The boundary between helping someone else and infringing on their free will was noted in the discussion which preceded this meditation as being somewhat moveable, or seeming to be moveable, and we would heartily agree. Indeed, for many within your density there is almost no action that can be taken of any kind that is not considered an infringement on free will. The character and temperament of each seeker or, shall we say, more generally, each person upon your planet whether or not she is consciously seeking, is a completely individual one. Some entities are set up by the gifts that they brought into this incarnation and the experiences that have helped shape their opinion to feel that all helpfully meant suggestions are completely across the line and are not helpful at all but rather are seen as interference.

There are others of your density that are happiest when all of their decisions are either made for them, or are made very much with them in mind but not necessarily with their intense contribution. To such entities almost no act seen as helpful by the other is seen as infringement upon the part of the self. This is due to the entity’s feeling that his opinions do not have worth. Therefore, there is clearly no arbitrary and theoretical line across which to step will be an infringement and before which no step will be an infringement. With each entity with whom you deal the boundaries and possibilities of the relationship will be unique.

We give this instrument the picture of the ship out on the ocean that the introductory song was singing about. In the spiritual sense each of us, we as well as you, is a wayfarer on a medium that seems far more watery than earthen in that there are no graven roads. There is no path in the pathless wilderness of the ocean except that which is laid down by the sextant and the other instruments of navigation. On a cloudy night such navigational aids may not be effective and so often each seeker is as the ship without a useful rudder. There is the yearning for the end of the journey, the desire for the home, but there is not the conscious awareness at the particular time of how to get there, what direction to take, or how to prepare for the weather upon the ocean. As that song said, each is in this sense a stranger, a single entity following the yearnings of the heart and attempting to make the journey that is before it. In this basic environment information is worth its weight in gold, and, in a way, when the entity who wishes to polarize service to others attempts to be of service to another entity that person is offering to a friendly ship information on the road, the weather, the state of the stars, the direction of home. The help may be very physical. It may be food to eat on the journey or warm covers for a chilly day or an ocean night, maybe supply of some kind, or gifts of goods. And in this way parents have for countless centuries of recorded and unrecorded history helped their children in a continuing round of a movement of the energy of goods and supply. And, for the most part, this is seen by both parties as a genuine gift of service that is appreciated and not considered to be an infringement.

The gifts of information from a friend to a friend or from a teacher to a pupil can certainly be seen by most on that trackless main as a genuinely helpful gift. And in that category, we would put such information as the weather and the stars and so forth. Each of you often has good opinions for the others that are sailing in the sea alongside you. Certainly, one key question when it comes to the dividing line between service to others that is well given and service that extends into infringement is the consideration of whether that stranger on the boat near yours has actually asked for such information. When needs are physical it is somewhat easier to see a need and to supply that need. There is a fairly clear, well drawn knowledge that each has of what it takes to keep the body and soul together during an incarnation.

The group question for this session was: “Our question today has to do with being of service to others, and we would like some guidelines as to when we are actually being of service to others and when we have gone too far and infringed upon an entity’s free will.” Q’uo began their response by saying that whether we are infringing on another person’s free will is difficult to determine because of the gifts that each of us have brought into our incarnations may be such that any attempt that we might make could be seen by them as an infringement. Q’uo continued by saying that there are other people that would see any attempt that we made to be of service as helpful to them because they do not value their own opinions, so our attempts to be of service are unique with each person. Then Q’uo used the analogy of all of us being like a ship upon the ocean with the desire to return home, but we have no reliable instrumentation to help us so that we feel very hopeful when other ships of seekers join with us so that we each can help each other navigate the unknown waters, and that each attempt at service is appreciated and not considered to be an infringement on free will. Then Q’uo said that one way to be sure that we have not infringed on another person’s free will is whether or not they have asked us to be of service to them. On August 12, 2007, Q’uo mentioned how they determined when answering certain questions would be an infringement upon one’s free will:

We are those of Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my sister. There are parts of your query which we cannot answer due to the fact that this is part of your active spiritual process at this time, and it would be a gross infringement of your free will to do your learning for you. We leave you the joy of your exploration in this wise.

The giving that is beyond the family, that which is called by this instrument charitable giving, is also of this kind in which it may be seen that there is no infringement and attempting to provide necessities for those who do not have them. When the gifts that one wishes to give are opinions and information then it becomes much less clear as to what is fairly given and what is excessive. So, if there is within you a feeling of uncertainty about the gift of an opinion or a thought, ask the question to yourself, “Has this person requested this of me?” If the entity has, indeed, requested such information you are on very safe ground. You are free to give what information you have and what thoughts you may contain in the knowledge that they have been asked for.

When the information and the ideas are not asked for then it is well to ask the self, “If my thoughts were a handful of seeds, which seed would I want to sow first?” For you may consider the field of another person’s consciousness as a field of earth which is able to receive ideas and to generate or create new life from those ideas if they are given the kind of interest and nutrition by that person that enables an idea to grow. The dropping of a seed is almost always that which is within the reach of fairness and justice. Attempting to plant the whole field with ideas and opinions that were not asked for is, in most cases, going to be seen as somewhat of an infringement.

And when there is a question about whether a relationship has been infringed upon, we would strongly advise clear and honest communication. This instrument was saying earlier that clear communication is a gift, not one that is often easy to give and not one which is often easy to receive when the communication involves uncomfortable material. However, when two entities can communicate clearly, they can together determine for themselves the actual situation as regards infringement. For it is entirely a contract that is unique to two individuals as to where the line is drawn between service and infringement.

Perhaps the greatest gift that each may offer is the self. There is a tremendous hunger in spiritually awakened entities for a companion or companions of like mind. There is comfort, even at sea in an open boat, at having a small fleet of small boats about one which are all headed for the same general destination and, therefore, may sail together helping each other with supply, information, and essence. It is the essence of self that is the greatest gift. Certainly, when the seeker finds a companion that is of a like mind and that offers a helpful presence each to the other, there is great cause for rejoicing because there is beyond any gift of thing or idea an utter beauty in the gift of self to self that has a purity that cannot be matched by outer gifts of any kind.

Blessed is the seeker who stumbles across the great good fortune of meeting such a companion. For some this becomes the mated relationship of husband and wife. For some there is tremendous metaphysical attraction but there is not the kind of companionship that suggests a shared life, but rather a shared friendship that is a looser and more loosely fitting relationship, but which has a tremendous amount to offer of that essence of self that is like the most haunting of perfumes, impossible to replicate anywhere else. How appreciated is that unique scent of self that is the essence of old friends. And how fortunate does the person feel who meets the new friend. How gifted and how cherished does a friend make you feel.

We encourage each to look for ways to share the self beyond any concept of sharing the ideas or the supply. Look for ways to share the beingness. On a fundamental level it is as though the entire creation of nature were already sharing its beingness at a very intense level, holding nothing back, doubting and fearing nothing whatsoever but giving all of the self all of the time, all of the color, all of the bloom, all of the glory. That it will last for only a brief period of bloom matters not to the flower or to the blossom on the tree but only that it is there today to vibrate in the air, to drink in the wind and the sun, and to share its scent with all those around it. This is also your heritage and your manifest gift to offer, your odor, your special scent, that which you have created of thought, feeling and experience that is a vibration unlike anyone else’s and which makes your friends smile. How loved each of you is by the Creator who appreciates each essence and by those who appreciate each of you. Do what you can to become appreciators of all those around you. Perhaps you indicate only by your expression or your smile that you are entering fully into a moment with another, but that other senses the profundity of your gift. One thing unique to the offering of the essence of the self is that it cannot infringe. The self has no words, no requirements, and no demands. Presence is the perfect present.

Then Q’uo said that there was no problem when we give to a charity, but when we have opinions and information to share with others, we would need to be sure that we have been asked for them before we share them. Q’uo went on to say that in this situation we might consider dropping a thought/seed here and there within another person’s field of being to see if they took root in the mind and began to grow into an interest in our thoughts. Then Q’uo said that if there arises any kind of disagreement as to our infringement upon another person’s free will that it would be well to engage in clear communication to see where the line is drawn between service and infringement. Q’uo continued by saying that our greatest gift to another person was our self because we all appreciate spiritual companions that are interested in seeking the truth together, and at some point, we could be especially blessed if such a spiritual companion became a mate that we can share the spiritual journey with for the rest of our lives. So, Q’uo encouraged us to share our very beingness with our spiritual companions because this our heritage, our manifest gift to offer, that which we have created of thought that is a vibration unlike anyone else’s and which makes our friends smile. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that each of us is loved by the Creator who appreciates each of us, and we should do what we can to become appreciators of all those around us because our presence is the perfect present. On July 12, 1981, Hatonn described the nature of our spiritual journey:

My brother, we would say to you that you recognize the success of the spiritual journey, if we will use that term, and you will accept it is the task of each entity upon your plane. The success of the spiritual journey has one mark and one mark only in this density, and that is the mark of Love, the acceptance of all about you as part of the Creator, the giving and receiving of Love as the gift of the Creator. When you see any part of this mark in your life, in whatever direction you are seeking at that time, know that you are achieving, what might be called upon your plane, a successful journey.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We greatly thank this instrument and this group for calling us, and we would like to further answer any questions that you have at this time. And so, we leave this instrument in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator and transfer to the one known as Jim. We are those known as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which those present might have for us. Is there another query at this time?

S: I have asked about our daughter in the past. Thank you for your past words. They were helpful. Another friend who is a walk-in mentioned that I should open up and share more, or I may develop cancer. I have had phantom pains in my groin, and I have been tripping about them. Could you tell me about those pains and what I need to be doing and be concerned about?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are indeed heartened that you have rejoined this circle of seeking, for we are most honored to speak to each who comes with queries and with the open heart. We bless and welcome you once again.

As to the nature of those pains and questions that you have concerning the health and well-being of your physical vehicle, we would suggest that you are, indeed, very healthy, for the physical vehicle that you utilize to move about within this illusion is one which has a natural health to it. However, one can alter this health by offering to the deeper mind the questions that are in the form of doubts. One can erode one’s own health by such doubts and fears, not usually in a significant sense, but in the sense that the physical vehicle will respond to the manipulations of the mind. For, indeed, the physical vehicle is a creature of the mind. It is well, therefore, not just to affirm one’s health but to claim it, to live it, to exercise it, to go forth filled with it. We would recommend that you rest in the knowledge that your physical vehicle supports you as well as you support it. The pains that you have felt are not of consequence. They are, rather, fulfillments of expectations, more specifically, of fears that have no substance to them at the present time. Therefore, our recommendation is of the positive affirmations that remove doubt.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: Yes. On a world event stage level, the drama of the Elian Gonzalez child seems to be a catalyst for millions of people. There seems to be more going on behind the scenes than is being reported. Could you share your perspective as to what is being played out?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The drama that surrounds this young entity is that which each feels it to be. Again, the minds of those observing this event will see what they wish to see, will see what they are told to see, and will see more than there is to see. For, indeed, the mind is a powerful source of seeing, of information. There is as much to this event as any says there is, for as soon as it is said, there it is. We look upon this young entity and many entities who have been placed in the public eye and see that the mass consciousness of many entities needed this young entity to focus upon in order to discuss and describe the nature of the lifestyle found in this young entity’s two worlds. And the nature of the family itself, for this basic unit of support, nurture, teaching and guidance is one which has suffered, shall we say, significant loss of influence for many people within your planetary population. Many would have governmental powers, political powers, economic powers, and social institutions take from the family that which is its responsibility. An entity such as the one known as Elian can serve as a point of focus for people who need to bring into their own minds the topics of concern. Such entities are as the lightning rod which attracts the attention of a great deal of public energy, and by allowing this energy to be expressed then provide to many people an avenue not only for expression of emotions and thoughts and opinions but of the possibilities for their own life patterns to be altered by such discussions, depending upon the passion with which the discussion is carried out. Thus, the world stage is one which always offers to each individual entity whatever the entity desires. For if you look at the range of opinions and responses to every situation you will find that there is, indeed, a wide range, and one may pick and choose those areas of importance to one’s own areas. And those areas, therefore, will be important to each entity because each entity will make it so. This is the value of public explanations, displays and so forth. Each entity may take from it that which has value to it.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: We were talking earlier of the opinion of Laura Jadzick/Knight having an opinion of The Ra Material and the events surrounding it. It seems to be another case where people can interpret and take from it what they will. Some of the comments were curious. I would like to know your response to it.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We look upon all such expressions of opinion as that. There are as many opinions as one can imagine and perhaps there are more. Indeed, as those of Ra mentioned within the material that has been published as The Law of One, there are many who feel that that work is of the devil. Many feel it is angelic. Many feel that it is of importance. Many feel that it has no significance. Again, this is all opinion. Each will take from what they see, what they see. Each person’s journey is valuable in itself, and however they fashion that journey, and from whatever opinions they weave it, this is their journey. This is what is appropriate to them. It matters not whether the importance is shared by any other.

Is there another query at this time?

S: None at this time. Thank you very much.

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

Carla: I’d like to ask about my low energy level. I understand if you can’t answer, but I am trying to take care of myself, but I haven’t done very well. I have felt worse this last week than before. I deeply believe in what I am doing and usually look forward to working on the book project. But I seem to be doing too much. Do you have any pointers for me as to how to balance and re-energize myself?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We look upon this topic which you have expressed in terms of feeling that you have depleted your own energy and because of this observation suggest that it would be well if you were to rest for a period of days, giving yourself nothing of importance to do, luxuriating in whatever brings you rest, and letting your energies of your mind, your body especially, and your spirit recharge so that there might once again be a reserve upon which to call. We are aware that there are those duties which are of a regular nature which your perform each day and we would recommend that these be taken care of in a short manner by either neglect or a short reply to each entity, writing to inform them of your need for rest.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Could you tell me if three days of this would be enough? Five days?

I am Q’uo, and this will be your determination, my sister. As you are able to rest, it is then your estimation that will be important as to how you are rejuvenating.

Is there another query at this time?

Carla: No. That’s it. Thank you very much.

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

S: The Derby and Preakness have been run. Did your horse come in?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware that this instrument was finally able to pick a winner after twenty-seven tries. We rejoice with him for his success as we rejoice with each of you in your successes.

S: So, who is your pick on the Belmont Stakes?

I am Q’uo, and we are happy when the underdog wins, but we see that there are no dogs in this race. Therefore, we shall be content with whatever outcome occurs.

Is there a final query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and we rejoice with each of you and take a great deal of pleasure in the mirth that this group has found in its seeking together. We are always privileged to join this circle of seeking and are aware that this shall be the final session of working that includes the channeling aspect for a portion of your time, and we would hope that each will remember that we walk with you in your seeking, immanent or not. All you need do is mentally request our presence, and we will be glad to join you in your meditations. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we would now take our leave of this instrument and this group. We leave each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I recorded the section on Multi-systems Thinking from Chapter Seven of 102. Then I ran some errands with my first stop being at the vet to get some meds for Bosco. My second stop was at AutoZone to buy some 50:1 2-cycle oil. My last stop was at Walgreens to pick up some paper plates and drop off a prescription to be filled.

This afternoon I recorded the section on Humanity is One of the Systems on Earth from Chapter Seven of 102. Then I went outside and used my backpack blower to blow the Ginko leaves in the back yard into a pile that I plan to pick up tomorrow and put in garbage cans.

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

December 2

The Heavenly Food Of Love

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

Let not any fear dismay you this day. Let thy shoulders turn towards that which warms the soul. Let thy heart rest on that which feeds the heart. For the heavenly food of Love and joy permeate the creation. And to one who can open like a flower to feel the subtle sunshine of silent Love within creation, there is abundant thanksgiving in all directions.

Be aware of the plenty, the fullness, the grace, and the surety of Love. You are loved most deeply. Go your way therefore in peace, carrying within you the precious burden of that Love, that you may share it with a universe all too unaware of its own glory.

We leave you in Love and peace, in the name and Spirit 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 May 7, 2000:

Our question today concerns the concept of the emotions. A couple of months ago Q’uo described emotions as the thinking of the deep mind and said something about how we might be able to utilize our emotions in our spiritual evolution, and we would like for Q’uo to elaborate a little bit more on that today.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We thank you for calling us to your session of working this day. It is a great blessing to us to be able to speak with you on the subject of the emotions and their role in working to accelerate the rate of your spiritual and mental evolution. It is our privilege to be able to address this subject, but, as always, we ask that you refrain from following our suggestions without careful thought. For that we have to offer are opinion and consideration which we are glad to share with you as long as you understand that we are not authorities. We would not wish to be taken as authorities, for we are your brothers and sisters who walk the same dusty path that you do.

There is an irresistible pull to evolution. There is implicit in the structure of each density every potential outworking of every energy within that density. In a universe of builded Light the subtleties are endless and, at the same time, progress through the gradually ascending densities is inevitable and irresistible. The only question that each entity faces is, “How quickly do I wish to progress?” There is no question that you will progress. It is as necessary to our nature to progress as it is for the iron to be drawn to the magnet. It is understandable that you might doubt this, for you see instances of your own lack of perceived progress, and you see apparent lapses in progression on the part of those with whom you come in contact. When these lapses are perceived, it is easy to become discouraged, but we would encourage each of you to meet these judgmental feelings about the self and others with the courage of your conviction that all is proceeding according to an unseen plan.

You are, little by little, and step by step, gaining in experience and awareness, and each of you is on a path of strong progression. We encourage each of you to come into a fuller understanding, as time goes on, of the meaning of imperfection. It was not intended that third density be an illusion in which any conscious seeker after truth could honestly perceive the self as perfect. It was, in fact, designed into third-density experience that from beginning to end each person’s personal experience will include perceptions of the self as being subtly or grossly imperfect, not once, not twice, not three times, but seven times and seven times seven. In other words, cyclically without an end throughout the incarnational experience.

This would seem to be a recipe for discouragement, heavy heartedness, and feelings of hopelessness. And yet the actual intent is the opposite. You see, as the spirit awakens this process of spiritual and mental evolution begins to accelerate. Whereas before awakening you were content to skate upon the surface of life as though it were a pond, once you have awakened you are aware of and drawn to the depths of each present moment. The profundities, implications, resonances, and overtones of each present moment are infinite. The learning in each present moment is potentially infinite. The gateway to intelligent infinity lies within each present moment. As the spirit awakens it becomes gradually more able to hear the far more complex symphony of messages that are coming in within each present moment.

Theresulting weight of experience can be crushing, and, typically, the spiritual seeker will scramble for a way to control this process which seems too chaotic to be useful. The first defense of an entity which wishes to control experience is the analytical, logical, reasoning mind. There is the desire to get hold of the experience, to rationalize it, and to understand the workings of it by analysis and logic. Great religious systems have been built which encourage and structure such intellectual and logical analysis of experience. We offer, for instance, the Buddhist, the yogic, and the Taoist systems of study, learning, and worship as those systems which are primarily designed to utilize the intellect and the faculties of reason and logic in becoming able to distance the self from those things which are occurring to the self and which the self is feeling. We call this basic approach the way of wisdom. It has many advantages for the seeker, and for those who are unable to move directly to working with the emotions we encourage the pursuit of such study. For it does accelerate, to some extent, the evolution of spirit and mind. However, the way of wisdom as a general discipline—and here we do over-generalize for effect—is a way of remaining comfortable while learning, thus obviating the main thrust of the third-density experience.

There is another way to look at this process of learning from experience, and that is, shall we say, the way of the open heart, or the way of love. The religion which is known to this group as Christianity is a system of study, and learning, and worship which moves along this path of love or the path of the open heart. And it encourages the utilization of emotion. Now, let us look at why this might be. What are emotions exactly?

If you can gaze at the panoply and scope of your life experience, you can see a definite progression and coherent trail of emotions that are difficult and emotions that are wonderful. Both kinds of emotions have cropped up within the life experience in response to the difficulties and challenges of the incarnation and in response to the gifts and joys that are spontaneously given to the heart, whether it be the song of a bird, the smile of a child, a thought that is read in a favorite book or any other thing which has enlarged joy and encouraged faith within you as a spiritual seeker. For the most part it well may seem that the difficult emotions—anger, guilt, remorse, fear, grief, jealously, pride, alienation—are very much in the majority, and that the joyful emotions are given out with the miser’s hand. And, indeed, this seems unfair. What is the justification for the surfeit of suffering that each awakening spiritual seeker seems to face?

The group question for this session was: “Our question today concerns the concept of the emotions. A couple of months ago Q’uo described emotions as the thinking of the deep mind and said something about how we might be able to utilize our emotions in our spiritual evolution, and we would like for Q’uo to elaborate a little bit more on that today.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that our evolution through the densities of Light is inevitable, and that we can determine how quickly we wish to progress, but they suggested that we not judge ourselves for what we see as our failures to grow spiritually but continue to have faith that we are living our destiny. Q’uo continued by saying that as time goes on in our spiritual journey we will continue to grow slowly and steadily, and we should seriously consider the concept of imperfections because third density is not the environment where any seeker could consider itself as perfect as we are far more likely to see a multitude of imperfections in our selves. Then Q’uo said that when we become spiritually awakened that our process of evolution is accelerated so that we become aware of the power of the present moment that contains the gateway to intelligent infinity, and we become able to hear more of the symphony of messages that come to us within each present moment. Q’uo said that the amount of learning can become a difficult burden for us, and one way of dealing with it is to use the rational mind and to gain an understanding of our situation through logic and reason such as some religions like Buddhism and Taoism have done that creates a distance between us and what is happening in our learning experience. Q’uo called this the way of wisdom because it does not work with our emotions, and they said that it does aid in our evolution of our mind and spirit, but by removing the emotions ignores the purpose of the third density. Then Q’uo said that another way of dealing with our emotions was the way of the open heart that is practiced in Christianity, so they said that in our lives we have emotions of joy and of difficulty with the difficult ones definitely in the majority, and they asked why this seemed to be the case? On May 26, 1991, Q’uo spoke of the way of the open heart:

To the open heart all things deserve compassion, all things deserve food, physical and spiritual, all things deserve love. And to refrain from opening the heart to the self is not something that occurs to the heart’s wisdom. However it makes no sense, it is important to realize that the way of the open heart may begin in clearing the way to the open heart, but it ends in accepting that the open heart is all-compassionate, all-loving, all-giving. There are no second thoughts to an open heart. There are no true thoughts in the open heart, but only the endless and impersonal compassion, but one who stands not on sense, not on things known, but on the thin and unpredictable air of the abyss of the unknown.

Life is energy. Progress within life is a shift in energies. Everything that you do and everything that you think creates a certain vibrational energy, and the summation of all of these processes of energy changes and exchanges within your life represent an energy system or field that has a certain strength. To an awakened seeker who is pursuing the way of wisdom these energies move in a spontaneous manner and the seeker’s goal is, more or less, to allow them to proceed. This allows the seeker to remain relatively peaceful and comfortable. However, this also creates a stiffness and resistance within the process of transformation, and this is where we get into what emotions are.

If the way of wisdom contains a linear structure so that one can follow one’s processes and talk logically about them, it also holds the energy within the higher chakras or energy centers. Working with wisdom is not working with heart or with the lower energies but, rather, largely, the indigo-ray, and to some extent, the blue-ray energy centers. While it is good to do work in consciousness in this manner it is also somewhat imbalanced because there is no encouragement of the flow of energy through the system but, rather, the holding of energy in the higher chakras. Conversely, when one is working in the way of the open heart one is constantly faced with the entire spectrum of self, from the lowest and most primitive emotion, the desire for survival, the desire for sexual reproduction, the desire for food and safety, upwards throughout the system, touching all of the energy centers, rising as high as indigo ray, but again and again springboarding from the heart. So that instead of the seeker moving into and maintaining as a steady state reliance on the higher chakras, the seeker in the way of love has released the preference for work in the higher energy centers and has accepted the self as a full energy system and reconfigured the goal from staying in the higher energies to accelerating the flow of energy throughout the entire system. Instead of a safe but somewhat turgid and slow moving path of energy refinement the brother and sister of the open heart are attempting to take the whole self as it is and through blind faith alone and the processes of self-acceptance and self-forgiveness blessing, forgiving, redeeming, transforming, and offering each and every emotion and sensation to the one infinite Creator.

Thisinvigorates, energizes, and enlivens the entire system. It is as if the owner of an automobile began running the engine through its paces in such a way that it began to burn off the carbon from the valves. The way of wisdom collects detritus, shall we say, the carbon on the valves that is not easily dealt with from the way of wisdom. The way of love is a rough and tumble way in comparison, but it also is the fast and cleaner way to use the energy system of the body, mind, and spirit. For the emotions that are the responses to catalyst are the shadows, symbols, or increasingly as one progresses, the essence of deep and purified rivers of energy that abide within what your psychologist would call the unconscious mind. At the roots of consciousness lie rivers of purified emotion that are as gems, perfectly and regularly refracting from the white light of unlimited energy the colorations of energy which are called emotion which express essences which the Creator has previously learned about Itself. These essences are as great truths into which the seeker taps, however imperfectly and however distortedly, as it moves through catalyst and encounters difficulties and meets challenges.

Each has felt those moments when a tiny thing triggered a massive flood of emotion. And when this occurs it is an excellent signal from the self to the self that here is a gift that is imperfectly seen, perhaps, but that is real. That moves into the experience as a done thing, as something that is felt, not created. Emotions are messages from the unconscious or deeper self to the conscious self. Now, there are various levels of messages and various layers to emotions. It is not a simple practice to enter into one’s emotions and to attempt to come into a deeper understanding of the heart of those emotions, not simply what triggered the emotion, but what kind of emotion it essentially is and what challenge it represents. In this wise it is often helpful to think of the centers of energy within the physical body, for difficult emotions often can be placed within certain energy centers and can be seen as messages expressing to the heart the need for working with those aspects of those emotions which are disturbing in such a way as to be able to balance and clarify those feelings. For there is a deeper truth within each emotion. The key to working on emotions is to realize the seat of emotion, shall we say, as being the green-ray energy center or heart chakra.

Ifone attempts to work with blocked and negative emotions from the energy in which they originate without moving into the heart chakra there is little chance or opportunity for self-forgiveness. Therefore, while it is very important to assess and evaluate such negative emotions as probably stemming from certain energy centers it is well to model the working with these essential and energetic nexi which are emotions with the model of keeping the energy in flow, moving again and again into the heart chakra and resting in that primary emotion which is called faith.

There is a deep well of emotion whose basic goal is to move all entities into unconditional love. It is towards unconditional Love that the path of your spiritual evolution is irresistibly moving. This unconditional Love is the most universal and powerful emotion and, indeed, is all that there is. In other words, the Logos Itself, the one great original Thought, is a purified emotion. It is not a thought precisely. A thought is linear. An emotion is global, universal, round, three-dimensional. It does not climb. It rolls. It does not fall. It continues to roll. Nothing can knock out the force of emotion. Indeed, it is that to which each must come in order to be able to graduate into the density of love which is your next experience.

Then Q’uo said that everything that we do or think creates an energy, but it also creates a resistance within the process of transformation, and then they described what our emotions are. They said that using logic to describe our energy would restrict it to those blue and indigo energy centers whereas if we speak of the energy of the open heart, we have released our preference for work in the higher energy centers and changed our goal from staying in the higher energies to accelerating the flow of energy throughout our entire energy system. Then they said that if we attempt to take our whole self as it is, and through using blind faith and self-forgiveness, we can transform and offer all of our emotions to the one infinite Creator. Q’uo went on to say that this invigorates our entire energy system because our emotions are the essence of deep and purified rivers of energy that abide within what our unconscious mind expresses as experiences which the Creator has previously learned about Itself, and they are great truths into which we may access imperfectly as we move through catalyst, encounter difficulties, and meet challenges. Q’uo went on to say that our emotions are messages from our unconscious self to our conscious self, and our difficult emotions can be placed within certain energy centers that we can see as messages expressing to our heart that we should work with our emotions which are disturbing so that we can balance and clarify them because there is a deeper truth within each emotion, and the key to working on our emotions is to realize the seat of all emotions is the heart chakra. Now Q’uo suggested that if we want to achieve forgiveness for negative emotions it is well to keep our heart open and rest there in faith, and then they said that the nature of the Logos is itself the emotion of universal Love which gives us the path of love that we must follow in order to graduate into the fourth density of love.  On April 2, 1974, Hatonn described the path of love would lead us into the fourth density:

This choice will not be made by saying, “I choose the path of love and light,” or, “I do not choose it.” The verbal choice will mean nothing. This choice will be measured by the individual’s demonstration of his choice. This demonstration will be very easy for us of the Confederation of Planets in His Service to interpret. This choice is measured by what we term the vibratory rate of the individual. It is necessary, if an individual is to join those who make the choice of love and understanding for his rate of vibration to be above a certain minimal level. There are many now that are close to this minimum level, but due to continuing conditions of erroneous thought that prevail upon your surface, they are either fluctuating around this point or are even in some cases drifting away from the path of love and understanding. There are many whose vibratory rate at this time is sufficiently high for them to travel with no difficulty into the density of vibration that this planet is shortly to experience.

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

It is a bumpier and rougher ride to seek the way of the open heart than to seek the way of wisdom. It is a way which invokes faith without proof, reason, or logic. There is no attempt to justify hardship, but neither is there the attempt to disempower hardship by rising above it. Rather, the way of the open heart is the way of vulnerability, of remaining open and weak in the face of strong and sometimes painful feelings. And, yet, because it sees the whole of imperfect selfhood as a beautiful and perfect thing in all its paradox it is the wiser path for your density. There is time enough to learn wisdom once you have learned to love fearlessly, to meet each moment with an open and unguarded heart.

This entity has experienced two pure emotions that it consciously knows of: grief and love. Neither experience shall ever be forgotten. When the seeker touches the heart of an emotion and it resonates purely, it is a life-changing event. Never again will grief lay waste to this instrument as it did before it experienced pure grief. And we might say that this is so for each shade of emotion, each tributary of each river of purified essence.

When each of you staggers under the load of difficult emotion, we can only ask you to think on what you basically believe to be true about your incarnational experience. If you believe that your life makes sense, and this we truly believe is so, then you are able to see that each difficult emotion is a gift from the self to the self of the truth of what that self is processing at the moment and of its relationship to the deeper truths within. If the seeker can believe that the life makes sense, then there is that faith which can be called upon, that faith that says, “My life does make sense. These difficulties have a reason for being there. They are my way of learning past this moment.” Then the seeker has a reason to work with these challenging and difficult feelings, to allow and even to encourage their movement through the energy system.

It may help, as it does this instrument, to think of the heart as a seat which contains deity so that there is, in emotions brought to the heart, a place where they can be laid and given away to the one infinite Creator, for many times emotions are overpowering, and there is literally no way to do anything with them except to offer them up. But if they are offered up in faith, this too is working with emotions in the heart center and is part of work well done.

Now Q’uo said that choosing the way of the heart gives us faith that whatever comes our way we will be able to survive it even if it means that we need to survive pain and suffering. Q’uo continued by saying that the way of the open heart is the way we can remain open and weak when we experience painful feelings, and this lets us see our imperfect self as a beautiful and perfect thing in all its paradoxes as it is the wiser path for our density. Q’uo went on to say that if we believe that our life makes sense then we will be able to see that our difficult emotions are a gift from our self to our self of the truth of what we are processing and its relationship to the deeper truths within us, and then there is faith that we can call upon which gives us a reason to work with challenging feelings and to encourage their movement through our energy system. Q’uo completed their response by saying that when our emotions are overpowering that there is no way to do anything with them but to offer them up to the Creator in faith that working with our emotions in our heart is a work that is well done. On January 7, 2008, Q’uo spoke of difficult emotions being like a gift:

Similarly, you have worked with the energies of the birth family and the marriage family and those, too, have been somewhat difficult from time to time. These difficulties are in place in order that you may work with them and strengthen your being by your persistence in being willing to deal with these difficult emotions that are brought up by the less than ideal situations in birth family, marriage family, and work.

As your maturity has brought you away from direct experience with the birth family and as life has also brought you past having to deal with the more difficult aspects of the marriage family, it is time now in your incarnation for the difficulties to focus on the work family.

How may you be most skillful in encouraging yourself to see these difficulties as the agents of maturity, those agents that will help you become stronger in your yellow ray? Each entity must work with this for herself. And perhaps it is enough for us to say to you that as long as you continue to seek to see the Creator in every entity whom you meet, you cannot go wrong.

This instrument is informing us that we need to end our initial message, and we do so in hopes that we have given you some food for thought that may give you some comfort as well as some resources. We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We are known as those of Q’uo and leave this instrument with thanks in love and in light.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in the attempt to answer any further queries which may yet remain upon the minds of those present. Is there another query at this time?

R: I have two. In your talk you said the gateway to intelligent infinity is present in every moment. Would you state that in other words to help me find entry into it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. By that statement we mean to say that each moment contains not only love but perfection. If one were to investigate all of the energies that have added themselves into that time period which you call the present moment, if you were able to investigate your own experience leading up to that moment, any such moment would offer you the opportunity of making contact with the one Creator, of experiencing the full presence of the one Creator. Thus, the use of catalyst is the variable which offers to each entity more or less of this opportunity to realize the perfection and the love contained in each moment. Thus, if one is able to fully utilize the catalyst that is presented to one, at any time that one is able to do this the doors to infinity open for you.

Is there another query, my brother?

R: Yes. I will have to think about that. The other question concerns another term that you have used and that is the purified emotion, and I would like to ask you to restate that in other terms.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The purified emotion is closely related to that which we spoke of in your first query, and this is the untangling process which each of you goes through as you utilize the catalyst which is given to you in your daily round of activities. As you are able to see where catalyst originates, to see its effect upon you, to see your response to it, to see those responses which you have made previously—this ability to see the nature of your experience is also the process of untangling those emotions which are fused together, perhaps in a confusing fashion, so that you are able to separate anger from jealousy, from disappointment, from doubt, from hilarity, from rage, from all the various sources which may be a portion of your experience, so that when you have discovered the sources of your feelings you will have found the various threads that together form the fabric or tapestry of your lives. You will see what part each emotion plays. A purified emotion is an emotion that stands alone, that is itself pure, that has one source and one effect in your being. It is not blended with any other emotion. It is not confused with any other emotion. It is itself a thing in itself.

Is there another query, my brother?

R: Is this purified emotion a reflection of the Love and the Light that is the universe?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We may further confuse you by suggesting that in coming to experience the Love and the Light that each so values as fundamental portions of this experience that each shares, the purified emotion occurs as that kind of feeling that is so basic within one that one is able to see the ramifications of this feeling, its source, its object, its effect, its continued presences within one. And there is a kind of satisfaction that comes from so seeing an emotion that will, indeed, reflect to you increased amounts of Love and Light. However, the purified emotion is, shall we say, a joy in that there is no confusion any longer as to its nature.

Is there a further query, my brother?

R: No. Thank you. I don’t mind being confused, and I appreciate your attempt to make sense with words. That is very difficult.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you also for your ability to perceive the difficulty that each of us has with the word description of experience.

Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I have two questions from P that I would like to read. “Somehow, the year 2000 tripped a switch in me and I have been on quite an emotional rollercoaster, and I don’t know where these deep feelings of anxiety come from, but I would say that they are blocking love from my heart. The anti-anxiety drug seems to have kicked in for the meantime, giving me much needed relief.”

I am Q’uo, and we believe that we grasp the nature of this query. The feelings that one has about an event, or a person, or an experience such as the year that you have numbered 2000 may be investigated by the entity that so values it in order to see what value one has given to it. Look, then, within you to see each aspect of this event, this year, that has meaning for you. Dissect it, if you can, with pen and paper. Look to the essay, the driving out of the meaning within that you may not consciously be aware of. Make a list of those qualities that you feel are unique to this year 2000. Beside each quality give your emotional response, that which you feel about this quality. Take this list as that which you then remove yourself into meditation to consider. Look deeply at each quality, each emotional response and to their summation as well. Then you, yourself, shall find the triggers that have opened in your mental and emotional and, perhaps, spiritual energy systems, the torrent of emotions that now move through you. As you are able to untangle these various sources and qualities of emotion and experience then you will be able to see more clearly the power that you have given to this event and its effect upon you.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: Yes. His second question: “I would also like to ask what might be the effect of the May 5th planetary alignment and whether that might affect one’s emotions?”

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Again, we would recommend the same process be used for this event as well, for each of us creates the fabric of our experience by the expectations that we hold for certain kinds of events, of experiences, and of people. There are within each of us preconceived notions, shall we say, that we attach to certain events. Those of the astronomical and astrological and metaphysical moving together blend many powerful energies that only we can describe for ourselves. Thus, we recommend that this entity utilize the same procedure for discovering the value of this event which has now passed.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: I would like to follow up on something that is common to P’s question and the conversation I had with M before the channeling meditation, and it has to do with what you said earlier about blessing, forgiving, redeeming, accepting, and transforming these difficult emotions. I was saying to M earlier that, “You are going to have to take care of yourself because no one else is interested in your having a happy heart. You are going to have to support your own work and your own security emotionally.” I was just wondering if you could look into that. How do we support ourselves? How do we bring ourselves healing and comfort when we are dealing with these difficult emotions like anxiety?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Within your meditative state—and this is again our recommendation for the investigation of emotion, to use meditation—look, then, to those feelings which you have, for they are valuable in themselves. They are the temperature, shall we say, of your current experience. Each may be seen as a portion of a trail, a thread, that will lead one to more fruitful finding of the value of experience. The emotions that one feels at any particular moment give one a place to begin to assess that which is occurring in the life pattern, to see the honest and spontaneous response of self to self. Then, as one is able to utilize these emotions in the balancing process one shall find their opposite occurring. Thus, if you are able to relive a situation in which a strong emotion occurs and within the meditative state to see this occurring, giving it free reign, to become as large as you can imagine, then there is the opportunity for the polar opposite emotion to arise within the meditative state so that you begin to feel another way about a certain situation, person, or event. Then allow this polar opposite emotion to get as large and as powerful as it can. When this has completed its growth and presentation to you, then accept yourself for having both of these means by which the Creator may know Itself in you, in your experience. Thus, you have taught to the Creator that which you have learned within the situation, and you have seen a fuller expression of natural emotion within your being as a means by which you know the Creator in you. Thus, you, working with every emotion that leaves its imprint upon you, are able to see the full range of your beingness, the appropriateness of each facet of emotion, the direction that each emotion points towards the heart of being, so that eventually there is but one emotion for every event, that being compassion, love, forgiveness, mercy, understanding—all of those qualities of unconditional Love.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Just to finish up, then all emotions, all these purified rivers of the Creator, empty into Love or stem from Love, or are a derivative of love, or are distortions of Love?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query and also aware of the accuracy of each observation that you have made in asking it. For all does come from Love. All exists in Love. All is pointed towards Love. The examined life is that life which is able to get a glimpse of this truth from time to time in the process of examining, balancing, and accepting each emotion as it moves through your being and points towards each heart.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thanks. That is a beautiful message.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again. Is there a final 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 shall thank each once again for inviting us to join you for your meditative session. We are filled with joy at each opportunity to do so. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I recorded the section on The Value of You Being You Localized from Chapter Seven of 102.

At 1 pm this afternoon I was on a zoom meet with Daniel and Tat, and we talked about the archetypical mind and how we can use the twenty two archetypes of the Major Arcana as we travel our spiritual path. At 3 pm Anna and I synchronized our computers and listed to Carla channel Ra in Session #57 which was focused on information about the Great Pyramid at Giza and the various uses of the Queen’s Chamber and the King’s Chamber.

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

December 1

The Bloom And Fruit Of Peace

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

Peace is much sought after among your people. Yet as you gaze out upon a barren winter landscape you may not see the great peace which is engendered by all those plants as they dream within the seeds and roots of their being, creating by will and thought and the grace of Jesus Christ those formations and changes which in time shall bring forth bloom and fruit.

The human idea of peace is rest without thought. Yet the inner man seeks a different peace and must listen to the voices of the natural world and the inner signal of creation and inner change. This is the peace that is spiritual and frequently it feels not at all like peace but rather like strife. For change and growth are painful, and there may be long periods when there is no evidence of bloom or fruit.

May the peace of Jesus the Christ be your hope and your inner reality, that you may grow more and more into the kingdom of heaven. We leave you in the peace that truly passes all human understanding, 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. The Q’uo quote today comes from April 16, 2000:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves to speak to any query that those present might have for us of a shorter nature. Is there another query at this time?

D: My question centers on thinking why Ra built the pyramids for that land. Isn’t part of the reason that the King’s and Queen’s chambers would open up the heart so that the Egyptian culture would be able to share love amongst the members of the culture? And the complement to opening up the heart was activating the brain so that true intelligence could be used in conjunction with opening the heart in the context of love and light or mind and spirit, in the context of personal development and social development of the culture as a whole?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. This query is large in its scope but one which hopefully will lend itself to an abbreviated response, for we are often known as those who speak for too long.

At the time of the construction of the Great Pyramid, that monument of antiquity located in the holy land that you call Egypt, the peoples of this culture were engaged in an appreciation of the one Creator which you may liken to that philosophy which you might call animism or paganism, in which the Creator was seen in all things and was everywhere present. Wonders were a part of this culture. The miraculous was seen as that which was as it should be: a portion of the everyday experience. However, the individual entities of this culture were of a nature that lent itself to being taught, shall we say, by those who were other than the self. Thus, the kind of spiritual awareness that was available to these entities was that which was handed down from one entity to another, from teacher to student. Thus, within the structure called the pyramid there were located those centers of energy that you have called the King’s chamber, the Queen’s chamber, and the resonating chamber below the surface of the earth. Within these central locations of swirling energy students and teacher could meet and be infused with the intelligent energy of the one Creator for the purpose of healing, the purpose of teaching, and the purpose of facing the self for the potential experience of being reborn, of finding a new life, a new direction.

Thus, these centers of energy within the pyramid symbolized to the population of that culture the means by which teaching and enlightenment could be achieved. Thus, individuals were able to gain a certain amount of advancement, shall we say, within these structures and then were able to move within the culture and to share this teaching with a greater population. These structures, for the most part, were successful in being able to share with the population of that culture the advancement that was sought. However, there was, after a period of time, the reserving of these experiences within the pyramidal structure for only those who were of an advanced status according to the measure of wealth, power, and position. Thus, as the information available within the structures became less and less available to the general population the purposes of the pyramidal structures were perverted. And those entities who had aided in the construction of the pyramids found it necessary to take stock of themselves, shall we say, and to find other avenues of service through which they might begin to correct the imbalances that were promulgated by the reserving of the use of the pyramids to those of power and wealth.

D asked Q’uo: “My question centers on thinking why Ra built the pyramids for that land. Isn’t part of the reason that the King’s and Queen’s chambers would open up the heart so that the Egyptian culture would be able to share love amongst the members of the culture? And the complement to opening up the heart was activating the brain so that true intelligence could be used in conjunction with opening the heart in the context of love and light or mind and spirit, in the context of personal development and social development of the culture as a whole?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that Ra decided to contact the people of Egypt because the Egyptians were pursuing the philosophy of animism or pantheism which sees the Creator in all things, and miracles were seen as a part of everyday experience. Q’uo went on to say that the method of teaching spiritual principles among the Egyptians was by the speaking of the teacher to the student was cabalistic, from mouth to ear. Then Q’uo said that the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid at Giza was used for healing; the Queen’s Chamber was used for initiation and enlightenment; and the Resonating Chamber beneath Great Pyramid was used to experience sensory deprivation and facing the self so that a new being could be born with a new direction in its life. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that after a period of time that these means of spiritual advancement, which had been shared with all members of the Egyptian people, were reserved for the class of those who were powerful, so those of Ra found it necessary to leave the Egyptians and look for ways that they could balance the distortions in their teachings of the Law of One for which they felt responsible. In 2.2, Ra explained why they felt it necessary to leave the Egyptians because of their teachings being reserved for those with the distortion of power:

We are those of the Confederation who eleven thousand of your years ago came to two of your planetary cultures which were at that time closely in touch with the creation of the One Creator. It was our naïve belief that we could teach/learn by direct contact, and the free will distortions of individual feeling or personality were in no danger, we thought, of being disturbed as these cultures were already closely aligned with a[n] all-embracing belief in the live-ness or consciousness of all. We came and were welcomed by the peoples whom we wished to serve. We attempted to aid them in technical ways having to do with the healing of mind/body/spirit complex distortions through the use of the crystal, appropriate to the distortion, placed within a certain appropriate series of ratios of time/space material. Thus were the pyramids created.

We found that the technology was reserved largely for those with the effectual mind/body distortion of power. This was not intended by the Law of One. We left your peoples. The group that was to work with those in the area of South America, as you call that portion of your sphere, gave up not so easily. They returned. We did not. However, we have never left your vibration due to our responsibility for the changes in consciousness we had first caused and then found distorted in ways not relegated to the Law of One. We attempted to contact the rulers of the land to which we had come, that land which you call Egypt, or in some areas, the Holy Land.

Is there a further query, my brother?

D: I recently submitted a manuscript to a series of publishers, and I was wondering if anything was going to come out of what I submitted, or if I still needed to do work, or do I need to take another approach, or what’s up?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. And, unfortunately, we are aware that to answer this query we move into an area in which we would be infringing upon your free will, for we are aware that you have made a great effort in personal sacrifice and achievement in order to have available these manuscripts and to submit them for further publication, shall we say. We recommend that one remember that there are no mistakes within this illusion, and the effort that you have put forth will produce its appropriate result and that there is the necessity for maintaining the faith in the perfection of all things in this instance.

Is there a further query, my brother?

D: Yes, I am curious. Could you share with me information about Jehovah, Yahweh, Id, the Council of Layette, and an entity known as Kingnah. I was wondering if you could share the types of entities that they are?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that there is only a certain distance that we may move in responding to this query, for there are elements of this query which also fall within the area of the infringement upon free will. We can suggest that there are entities such as Yahweh and Jehovah that are familiar to all who have appreciated the holy writings contained within your Bible and that these entities in their original and untarnished state were what you would call social memory complexes or groups of entities known by one name for the ease of identification by the populations that they chose to serve. These entities moved in service to those of not only this planetary sphere but also others as well, most notably those of the red planet that you call Mars who were in need of finding a new home upon which to continue their evolutionary process, having caused their original planetary sphere of home vibration to become inhospitable to life through bellicose action. Thus, these entities of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator set before the Council of Saturn a proposal for transferring and somewhat altering the genetic nature of the entities of the Mars experience that they might continue their progress towards the One on this planetary sphere. However, their efforts were not to go without meeting difficulties.

The enhancing of one group over another for the purpose of aiding that group’s ability to apprehend the nature of infinity and of unity also creates an opening for negatively-oriented entities to communicate with the same Terran population and to give them the idea that perhaps they were special; they were elite; and that they were given this special nature in order that they might govern others and bring others into their influence of power. Thus, the experience of the ones known as Yahweh, the ones known as Jehovah, were difficult in that their efforts were lost to the groups of entities from the Orion constellation that moved also in service, yet moved in service of a negatively oriented nature and were able to make inroads for the first time upon this planetary sphere using the efforts first offered by others within the Confederation of Planets.

There is much that has been attributed to these entities that is not of their making. However, they were the first to offer the efforts that created inroads for a mixed contact, shall we say, and results which also were mixed in aiding the entities they desired to serve. Thus, upon reflection each of these social memory complexes have also sought to find other avenues of service to this planetary population that would balance the imbalances that they felt responsible for these many years ago.

Is there another query at this time?

D: One more. Do you have any suggestions that you could give that would assist me on personal healing in the areas of doing conscious out-of-body experiences and in opening the heart so that the love of God can simply be shared in a humble and consistent manner?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would recommend that in addition to the offering of yourself in the early portion of your day to the one Creator, as you now do, that there be given over at this time a special meditation in which you visualize the heart being able to open to the extent that it can encompass greater and greater need from others for the love that can flow through it. That you see in your mind’s eye the green-ray energy center vibrating with a greater and greater brilliance of an apple green. That you see this center becoming bright, vivid and crystallized. That for a few minutes of your time you offer yourself without condition, with the open heart, for the service of the one Creator in the face of each entity that you see in your daily round of activities.

Is there a further query, my brother?

D: No. Thank you very much.

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

C: I have a query, and thank you for the opportunity. I recently learned of the term the neutral implant release, referring to the concept of voiding one’s karma status in the third density. Could you help me understand and clarify some issues still unclear with this, such as what does this really mean in terms of voiding one’s karma and does it have anything to do with releasing the death hormone, which voids remaining illness?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of the nature of your query, though we do not fully grasp the opportunity that could be offered to void the karma of the incarnation, for to our way of looking upon the opportunities provided by each incarnation, though each entity within the incarnation may see the karma that it has accumulated as a kind of weight or burden, we are not of the opinion that this is the most efficient way of looking at karma. For to be within your third-density illusion is a great privilege and honor. We see the ability of each entity within the third density to move ahead upon the evolutionary journey as being far, far greater than ever will be presented to an entity again in further densities. Thus, though your density may be one in which you move within a seeming darkness, lit only by the smallest of lights of your consciousness, yet this small light of your consciousness can accomplish a great deal within this illusion in a much shorter time than will ever be possible again. For those who move beyond your illusion find that the work that is able to be done there moves in a great extent because of the work that is done here, within the third-density illusion. Thus, we are unable to appreciate the desire to negate or remove one’s karma. Perhaps we have misunderstood the query. Could you elucidate for us?

C: I think you’ve answered it adequately. It was a concept that was unclear to me, and I just wanted to find out your opinion.

I am Q’uo, and we hope that we have been helpful in this area. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Could I follow up and ask if it would be possible that the good kind of elimination of karma would be forgiveness?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The ability to forgive, to have compassion for that for which there was previously no compassion, is the healing of the incarnation, as we have heard it said. Indeed, the efforts that each entity makes in every area of the incarnation may be aided by the ability to forgive, whether the forgiveness is of another or, more especially, of the self. For we find that forgiveness of another and of the self are intertwined in a manner that is irrefragable; that is, they are one. As you see another entity and feel one emotion or another for this entity, it is for yourself that this emotion is truly felt. For each entity is a mirror unto you that shows you yourself and the face of the Creator at the same time. When you are unable to perceive that this is what is being shown to you, then there arises a myriad of emotions, both those that are what you call positive and those that are what you call negative, that you attribute to this entity. When, through your own personal work and perseverance, you have been able to see that the world about you reflects your attitude back to you, then you are able to open the door to forgiveness, to compassion, to mercy, to understanding, and to those qualities that truly stop the wheel of karma and allow you that progress that you desire: the opening of the heart so that compassion is felt, not just for those about you, but for yourself, for the Creator, and for all of the creation about you.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: One other question. The instrument now channeling you is going to write a letter this week correcting some errors concerning those of Ra being part of the Stargate Conspiracy. Would you like to express any opinion that would help the one known as Jim as he writes this letter?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. And we would simply remind this entity, as we would remind each, that all entities are a portion of the same Creator. And that to salute that Creator in each is a firm foundation on which to begin.

Is there a further query at this time?

[No further queries.]

We are those of Q’uo. May we speak to any further queries at this time?

M: When you are dealing with times of hardship and you try to get through it the best you can, is it wise to take periods of rest before you jump back into the lion’s den again?

I am Q’uo, and your query makes enough sense to us that we would say that you have answered your own query. 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 the nonce we shall refrain from speaking overly long, for we do not wish to overtire those who have so generously offered their time and themselves for this circle of seeking. We thank each for bringing your queries and your heartfelt concerns, for it is to those of like mind that the journey is made easier by the companions that share it. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. We shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I recorded the section on The Stewardship of the tribe of Humankind from Chapter 7 of 102. Then I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food and some kitty litter. Then I went to Paul’s Fruit Market and bought some food for myself.

This afternoon I blew the Ginko leaves behind the garage into an even comformation to make it easier to mulch them with Venus.

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

November 30

The Skin Of Your Illusion

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

Take a moment this morning to gaze at the many imperfections of the skin which covers your physical body, and know that it is the metaphor for all the imperfections of the world about you.

Turn inward and walk, within the mind, up the dark tower of good intention, resting at the landing to remove that imperfect outer covering. Behold! There is a basin of living water which may cleanse and make alive that which is wholly spiritual within you. Bathe freely and joyously.

Rise, then, step by step, until the dark tower opens into the seat of prayer, where the soul gazes out the window into divine Light. Know that that cleanliness of soul which you desire has been seated deep within, so that, as you move down those same stairs and don again the imperfect covering of humanity and go out now into the mundane creation, you shall shine from within with the Light of Christ.

For that which is outer in the world or in person is only a covering which partakes of imperfection, and which partakes of an illusion. Never rest upon the surface of anything but, rather, upon the Light of Christ within.

We leave you in the peace of this understanding and compassion, 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 April 16, 2000:

The question this week has three parts. The first has do with information on what the experience each of us will face as we go through the experience of death will be like. We’ve heard a lot of things said about it, such as there will be guides and friends and teachers there to help orient us to our new environment. We would like Q’uo’s perspective on what this death into life transition will be like. We also would like for you to relate that to the concept of what our entire evolutionary process is like from the third density on. Some writers here in the third density have mentioned the possibility of skipping the fourth density and going directly to the fifth, and we are wondering what Q’uo’s take on that might be? The third part is information on how we can discriminate between positively and negatively oriented entities if a discarnate entity is in our daily lives and the information which we come across there.

(Carla channeling)

We are 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 making the effort to join in this circle of seeking on this day, for, truly, it is a blessing and a privilege to be called to this group by the energy of your desire to seek and to know the truth. It is a blessing to us to be able to share our thoughts and also because this sharing of our thoughts with those who would seek to know them is our chosen area of service to others. And so we depend upon groups such as yours for our opportunities to be of service to your people. Consequently, you loom large in our life at this time. We are most grateful to you, and we know what it costs each of you to be here this day, the will and determination that it took to lay aside those other things that are of concern to you that you might seek in this manner. We greatly appreciate your dedication.

As we share our thoughts with you, we wish you to know that we are those with opinions and information that we have come to feel is valuable in spiritual seeking, things that have stood the test of time for us. However, we also know that in speaking to a group we cannot be all things to all people. And, consequently, those things that we have to share may or may not resonate with your own personal truth, and we would suggest that each of you does have an extremely efficient and very sensitive apparatus of discrimination which is, for the most part, a portion of your intuition rather than a portion of your logical mind. When you hear our information do not simply ask yourself if it sounds logical, because we generally do sound logical. However, our truth may not suit your seeking at this point. For there is a movement and an aliveness to truth. It evolves for each seeker, and we would not wish you to hold on to something that might turn out to be a stumbling block. So, use what seems helpful to you and, if you would, it would be very helpful to us if you would simply disregard and leave behind all other thoughts. Neither we nor any is an authority for you. You are an authority for yourself. We encourage you to trust in this energy of discrimination which you have within you, and when you sense a thought that resonates with your own, seize it and work with it. And when you do not, release those thoughts that do not ring true.

We are aware that we would speak to you this day about the processes involved in what you call the death of the physical body and would only preface our discussion of this interesting subject by noting that the living of the life is at least as interesting as the end of it so that we encourage each of you not only to think of the goal or ending of that great adventure in the middle of which you are now walking, but to think of the death of the physical body as a portion of an ongoing experience of living that is not ended by birth or death or any ending whatsoever. But, rather, that each of you is a citizen of eternity, that you were in your spiritual integrity a creation before the world was created, before the universe as you know it was created, indeed, before this octave of creation was present. For you have been a spark of the one infinite Creator, a child of the one great original Thought, for eternity. And there is no end to you, or to me, or to any part of the one infinite Creator.

Having said this we feel more comfortable with focusing upon this portion of the experience of incarnation which is the physical death and that which occurs directly after the physical death. Perhaps in order to create a more coherent explanation it would be helpful for us to look at the basic plan of what this instrument would call the octave of creation which represents the creation in which you are now involved. As the one known as D was saying earlier, this consists of the seven notes, shall we say, of existence in the octave that you now experience and we would ask you to think of this term, octave, as specifically musical or, alternately, that which is colored. One may either think of the musical scale of the first note through the seventh note ending in the octave of the first note, which is also the eighth note, the same note one octave higher. Or you may think of the rainbow with its red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ending once again in that octave of color which is, shall we say, white or the octave density which moves without noticeable change into the first note or density of the next octave.

The first density is that density of elements where the lesson is simply being. The second density is that density which you enjoy when you step outside. It is the density of the animals and plants that turn towards the light. It is the density of awareness, not self-awareness but that awareness which is wishing to turn to the light, to seek the light for growth or food and so forth. Those which are animals within second density do not always seek the light for food directly but seek those plants and animals which have sought the light in terms of food. Consequently, this very large density is a density which is one with the infinite Creator. It is not self-aware, but it is aware of the truth. There was never a discontented flower, for instance, nor a rebellious wild creature. These entities know who they are and do not have questions concerning their nature.

It is in the third density which you now enjoy as what this instrument would call a human being that you experience that self-awareness that asks, “Who am I? Where am I going? What are my goals within this experience?” The higher densities after third density pivot upon third density because third density is the density wherein self-aware beings take stock of their situation and determine the nature of their further seeking. Seeking is all about loving. And the question becomes, “How do I express love?” Usually, this is conceived in terms of service and the question of how to love becomes the question of how to serve. There are two basic options for service to those who have come to this point in their spiritual evolution.

One option is to serve the Creator by serving others as though others were the same as the self. The other option is to serve others by encouraging them to serve the self. The rationale there is that the self is the Creator and, consequently, when others are serving you they are serving the Creator. This is called the service-to-self path as opposed to the service-to-others path. And in many ways it is difficult for those within third density, especially wanderers, to recognize the difference between service to self and service to others. For those who wish to help others in terms of service to self are often extremely dynamic and charismatic entities, who wish to control and manage the affairs of others for their own good, as the one known as M said earlier. This can be extremely fatiguing and difficult to deal with for those who are focused on service to others. And it is, indeed, a challenge when a service-to-others entity is faced with those who wish to control or manipulate. We can only encourage those who seek to advance themselves through service to others to continue in that path in faith that regardless of the seeming disadvantages of this attitude or point of view, the energies involved in responding always in terms of service to others over a period of time begin to have their own momentum, thereby moving the self into a point of view which is enough changed that the efforts of service-to-self manipulation are seen as less fear provoking and more provoking the desire to pray for, care for, and love those entities which seemingly would wish to manipulate you.

Thiskind of choice begins a process which we have called polarizing and for the rest of your third density experience, once you have begun to deal with this basic choice, you will be repeatedly, and on various levels as you proceed through the incarnation, be involved in times of observing, evaluating and responding to situations in which you have the repeated choice of service to self, by control, manipulation, fear and offense, or service to others with no control, no manipulation, and only blind faith and a hope of meeting others in their needs in such a way that you may be of service to them. This process of learning to love goes on through the next two densities. The next density of your experience after this one is the so-called density of love and understanding, the fourth density. The density after the density of love has been called the density of wisdom. You will note that the density of wisdom is not called the density of understanding, for understanding is that which is of the heart rather than the mind or the wisdom. In the sixth density, love and wisdom, which have been studied separately insofar as that is possible, are now considered in terms of their balance, one with the other, within the seeker. And so the sixth density is called the density of unification. Somewhere in the middle of this density those upon the path of service to self, or the negative path as this instrument has called it, face a choice once again. For they discover beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot move forward in their own spiritual evolution until they have accepted at last that the heart holds truth, and that other selves are the self. This is a crushing and an absolutely life-changing discovery to those of service to self and the phenomenon of reversal of polarity occurs at this point individually for each service-to-self entity. Each entity must make this choice again for the self: whether to stay with all that has been learned along the path of service to self, or whether to switch polarities and move further on, having accepted the unification of positive and negative paths as a positive path.

We have called these two paths the path of that which is, that is, the path of service to others, and the path of that which is not, service to self. And the reason that we call them in this particular way is that in service to self the heart is denied and ignored. Consequently, the main source of power for service-to-others entities, and the strongest source of power for all, is left out of the scheme of things. This is the great limitation and it is a denial. Consequently, we call service to self the path of that which is not.

After the unification occurs, the end of sixth density and the seventh density are those in which the selves gradually stop turning backwards to look at what has been and begin being drawn, as if by gravity, into the heart of the source of all that there is: the one infinite Creator. At the end of seventh density there is a movement into timelessness, and in this time of unknowing the heart of the Creator beats and another creation begins. This is the panoply of cosmology within which you are now experiencing the third of seven experiences or types of experience. And each of these densities represents a considerable length of your time.

However, your third density is the shortest of all densities, being only 75,000 years long. During third density the pattern of incarnation is, at first, quite automatic. Entities are graduating from second density because of the growing realization of love itself. As they become harvestable, for whatever reason, they are able to incarnate as individuated consciousnesses, and they become what this instrument would call human. At first, incarnations are largely automatic. Little is known. Much is in chaos. And there is a little learning each time and then a relaxing from incarnation through death into the body of light that is yours between incarnations within the inner planes of this particular planetary sphere. During this time between incarnations there is first any healing that needs to take place from the incarnation, any traumas that need adjusting and comforting, and so forth. Then there is the opportunity for another physical vehicle, the descent into the world of heavy chemical bodies that your physical plane represents, the gathering of more catalyst, more information, more experiences, until the incarnational self is completely full and has done all that it has hoped to do within this particular incarnation, at which time it moves through the physical death again, the healing of the incarnation after death, and, gradually, as the incarnations mount up and the entity within begins to crystallize beyond the simple personality shell this between incarnations process becomes lengthened because there is more to heal, and because more and more, as entities become senior in their vibratory patterns they earn the right, more and more, to have a say in their own incarnational plan. At this point within third density upon your sphere, this being the end of that 75,000 year period, each entity that incarnates upon your planet is capable of graduation from third density to fourth. Each entity has chosen the incarnational lessons of the present lifetime and the relationships that it will use for learning and for service.

In this particular lifetime for each of you there is the potential of graduation at the end of this physical death experience. Now, let us say that the physical death is one thing to the body and another to the consciousness that the body is carrying about at this time. For each of you is not one being, but two. You are a second-density animal, a hairless or nearly hairless great ape, with certain instinctual patterns of behavior and a choice-making brain that is extremely good at choosing what to eat, and how to survive, and how to protect the family. And you are also this eternal being whose present life is merely a parenthesis in eternity. When the physical body is exhausted or is traumatized and can no longer sustain the breath of life the spirit itself does not miss a beat. There is no alteration in consciousness. It is as though you were continuing to observe but the nature of your observation changes. For, instead of observing the heart beating, the mind thinking about dinner, the feelings of the physical body as they move into your consciousness, suddenly you are experiencing what seems to be a physical body, what seems to be physical feelings, what seem to be physical incoming data. But the body itself has altered.

This instrument has had the experience of moving through the gate of death and so we are able to say through this instrument that this entity’s first-hand experience was a valid one. And this entity’s experience was simply that, the kidneys having failed in this instrument’s body, it experienced a great deal of pain, and then when death occurred, there was the cessation of the pain. There had been disfigurement of the body because of the lack of the kidneys working. Suddenly the body was fair and perfect. The clues mounted quickly, however, that the entire situation had changed. For when this entity spoke to a rose upon a fence an entire section of rose bush wound itself around this entity’s arm, without thorns but with endless love. This entity could hear music and see it in the air. And the colors that this entity saw were more substantial and had a life of their own. They pulsed and glowed with a three-dimensional seeming energy that is lacking in the colors upon your planet.

The experience expanded through the death process rather than being cut off and then changing or stopping altogether. This is the actual experience at the time of death. Indeed, it is so persuasive that many there are who die suddenly who take quite some time to realize that they have indeed passed through the gates of physical death and no longer have a body or an incarnation upon the planetary sphere.

The group question for this session was: “The question this week has three parts. The first has do with information on what the experience each of us will face as we go through the experience of death will be like. We’ve heard a lot of things said about it, such as there will be guides, and friends, and teachers there to help orient us to our new environment. We would like Q’uo’s perspective on what this death into life transition will be like.” Q’uo began by saying that we are eternal beings, and that the death of our physical body is only one of an infinite number of steps on our spiritual journeys, and then they gave a general description of how this octave of creation functions analogously to a rainbow with its red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet densities, ending once again in that octave color which is white or the octave density which moves into the first density of the next octave.  Q’uo went on to describe each of the densities by saying that the first density is that density of elements where the lesson is simply being; the second density is that density which we enjoy when we step outside and see the animals and plants that turn towards the light. Then they said that in the third density we have self-consciousness and the chance to make a choice between service to others or service to self, and once we have begun to deal with this basic choice, we will be repeatedly involved in times of observing, evaluating, and responding to situations in which we have the choice of service to self, by control, manipulation, fear, and offense, or service to others with no control, no manipulation, and only blind faith and a hope of meeting others in their needs in such a way that we may be of service to them. Q’uo continued by saying that this process goes on into the fourth density of love and understanding, the fifth density of wisdom, and then into the sixty density of the balance of love and wisdom. Then they said that as the negative entities enter the sixth density they see that they can go no further because the sixth-density entity sees its spiritual polarization being reduced due to its inability to express the unity of sixth density, so since it loves the Creator, and realizes that the Creator is not only self but other-self as self, these entities consciously chooses an instantaneous energy reorientation so that they may continue their evolution as positive entities. Then Q’uo said that in the seventh density there is no longer any looking back in this density of foreverness, and at the end of seventh density there is a movement into timelessness, and in this time of unknowing the heart of the Creator beats and another creation begins. Now Q’uo said that our third density is only 75,000 years long and incarnations begin with a small amount of learning before the body is dropped and a review of the incarnation occurs to attempt more lessons, and this process continues for thousands of years until entities begin to take part in planning their lessons so that, eventually, their incarnations occur by the seniority of vibration. They went on to say that each of us has the opportunity to graduate into the fourth density, but when our physical body dies our spirit carries on because we are eternal beings, and our present lifetime is but one of an infinite number of lifetimes. Then Q’uo used Carla’s NDE when she was twelve years old as a way of affirming how the spirit carries on after the death of the body. On October 21, 2001, Q’uo spoke of the death of our physical body is an illusion:

Once it is seen clearly and at a basic level that this physical death is an illusion, then there is much less distortion and contraction possible. But it is seldom given to the seeker to come into full knowledge of her true nature. Seldom is it that he can see the inevitability of this revival of consciousness through the death of the body. Insofar as it is possible we recommend daily immersion in silence because it is in that region of the self alone that the truths of the metaphysical reality can flower in such a way as to fortify the vagrant imagination and strengthen the ability to have patience with the self and with circumstances that are other than you would wish them to be. To see all of these elements of your personal story as simply what they are is a powerful resource. To know that faith can change that story is a powerful resource also.

Now we would address that which occurs at the time of graduation, and this, in part, moves into the second question which you have asked of us this day. Picture, if you will, a walk that is long and beautiful and seems to be completely a walkway filled with light. On either side of this walkway are presences that are extremely loving and nurturing and that guard each and every spirit that walks this path of light. Picture then, if you will, a light whose very nature changes, becoming more dense, more bright, and, in ways hard to describe, more challenging. It is as though elements have been added to this light as you move along this walk. The reason for this is that the nature of light changes by quanta. A photon within your density is not as complex as a photon within fourth density, which is not as complex as the photon in fifth density, and so forth. When you are walking steps of light you are walking to find your most comfortable and attractive place to be. You are looking for your new home.

This situation is somewhat complicated by the fact that many there are among your peoples now, including many within this room, who do not originally come from the Earth and its density system but, rather, have moved through third, fourth, perhaps fifth and sixth, to some extent, on other planetary spheres or on other planetary influences. Then you, perhaps, have come back to third density here. Why? For two basic reasons. Firstly, you wanted to undo a balance between love and wisdom that you felt could be improved upon and intensified. And so, you came back to third density to remake the original choice and to reinvestigate the power of love, especially unlimited or unconditional love. Your second reason as a wanderer for coming here was to lend all of your being to what this instrument has called the ministry of essence upon planet Earth. It is a simple plan, and it is the basic plan of wanderers upon planet Earth. The plan is basically to come into incarnation here and become subject to the laws of third density, to forget everything that you knew so well, and to exist within this density living a life of faith with no proof, no way to be sure that you are right, but only your heart telling you, “This is the way for me.”

In this way you hoped to make the choice even more purely, even more surely, even more firmly than you did before. And so, you are hoping to offer to the planet, as you make this choice, your being as you breathe in and as you breathe out as you love and as you accept the love of others. This allowing of the infinite Creator’s Love and Light to flow through each of you and out into the Earth plane accelerates the lightening energies of the planet and, consequently, makes it much more possible for the planet itself to move through what is being a somewhat difficult graduation. For the planet itself is also graduating into fourth density, moving into a new area of space and time and experiencing that addition to the photon that fourth density is bringing to the very physical creation in which you enjoy this continuing adventure.

The reason that this applies to the graduation context is that in that question that was brought by the one known as J the entities involved felt that, as wanderers from the fifth density, upon graduating from Earth’s third density they would automatically move back into their home vibration. This is emphatically not true, and we felt that this is a very germane point, for all wanderers become Earth natives when they incarnate. The taking of a physical body is the taking of the blood, and bone, and the sinew of the entire human experience. There is no such thing as a tourist in the body on planet Earth. All of you have become natives, whatever your planet or origin or your densities of previous experience.

This means that there is a very simple dynamic involved, and it involves service to others, for the graduational criterion for positive polarity is that the seeker think more about serving others than about serving the self. The minimum grade for graduation from planet Earth is 51percent service to others. Now, for those who are attempting to polarize service to self, the maximum grade is 5 percent service to others. To say that another way, the service-to-self entity must fight a graduation requirement in its purity of intention to serve the self. We may say that it is about as difficult to make the grade of 51percent service to others or of 95 percent service to self. We are extremely pleased that each of you have chosen service to others, for that is the polarity that we also have chosen, and we would truly be out of our depth in attempting to be of service to those who were attempting to polarize along the other option.

For service-to-others entities, appreciate each moment and see what you can do to find the love in that moment. There is love in the moment. There is love in every moment. There is love in every thought. The question is: how distorted is that love? And one helpful discipline for the seeker is to look at that which comes before the attention with an eye to using both the intellectual mind and the intuition to ask the self questions about what one is perceiving. And, indeed, about how one wishes to respond to what one is receiving.

When an entity is able to walk the steps of light of graduation into fourth density and feel comfortable there, one is able to move into fourth density for the next experience. And this is true in a continuing way. If an entity is able to enjoy and use the light of fifth density or sixth density, the entity may, indeed, move back into that home vibration. However, it is first necessary to rediscover that deep self within this incarnation which you now experience to the extent that you are able to recapitulate that choice and the decisions that lead to being able to tolerate the light that is offered to those whose thoughts are more than 51percent for other entities and how to serve them.

There is a tremendous amount of persistence and dedication involved in the processes of learning how to accelerate the pace of your spiritual evolution. And we would encourage each of you to take it slow, to attempt to seat experiences in silence, and to keep always before the self that light touch that is devoted to principles but not to the extent that the self and the principles become larger than the principles. Take the principles seriously. Take the self lightly, for you will be misunderstood. You will not always have anyone who is able to support or encourage you. There are aspects to the spiritual walk that are difficult. And, indeed, most of what this instrument would call the “good stuff,” most of the pith and marrow of learning is received during times of intense suffering, limitation, and change. Consequently, it is never obvious that this is a good thing. It is never clear that you are on the right track.

Occasionally all things may come together, and it is, indeed, a moment of clarity and delight. But again and again you as a seeker will be in the Dark Night of the Soul, looking for dawn but not at all sure that it will come. And all of this is a refiner of souls. You are engaged in distilling a truth and a duty that is so much larger and fuller and more whole than anything that you can imagine that we cannot express it to you. You are already a perfection that is the one infinite Creator, and yet you have this opportunity not to know and yet to seek. It is, in our experience, an absolute delight, and we feel that each of you here has had those moments of clarity and delight. We ask that you believe them, that you remember them, and trust the memory. For these are little gems of your truth that have popped out into consciousness from that place where joy, and purity, and truth live within you. This instrument would say that they reside within the heart, and in a very real sense this is true. For it is through the heart center that these awarenesses are able to springboard from the unconscious or subconscious self into consciousness. In another way, we would say that these are energies of the deeper mind, this mind that attaches you to others, to the planet in which you now enjoy life, to all of life, and to the one infinite Creator.

This instrument is informing us that the time is nearly up for us to speak through this instrument. We do not wish to move beyond forty-five minutes. We have, in a sense, touched upon the discrimination between service-to-self and service-to-others sources within your reading and your hearing. And we simply encourage you to trust yourself. And at the same time to get to know that self that you are trusting ever more deeply, to consult your discrimination, and at the same time to strengthen your power of discrimination by trusting it, by using it, by seeing at first-hand how it works. It is a faculty within you that is a gift from the one infinite Creator and from your higher self. And to this gift of discrimination is linked your guidance. We would encourage you to move into that place within the heart where you are able to ask within the safety of your own energy field, “Is this true for me?” If it is, move on it. Use it. Live it. Eat it. If it is not, walk on.

You will find those things that you need to be considering more and more coming to you in the words of a song, or the coincidences of a roadside sign, the flight of a butterfly or a bird, those things that pop into your reality seemingly from nowhere. All of these things are messages. And all of these things have something to say to you. Once you catch on to the synchronicity of spiritual events you will find more and more of your experience speaking directly to you in a spiritual sense.

The second part of the question was: “We also would like for you to relate that to the concept of what our entire evolutionary process is like from the third density on. Some writers here in the third density have mentioned the possibility of skipping the fourth density and going directly to the fifth, and we are wondering what Q’uo’s take on that might be?” And the third part is: “Information on how we can discriminate between positively and negatively oriented entities if a discarnate entity is in our daily lives and the information which we come across there.” Q’uo began by saying that when we walk into the light we may feel the presences of those who guard this process, and the further we walk the light makes a quantum change when it is fourth density light, so we will walk into this light until it is too powerful, and then we will step aside into our new home. Q’uo said that many who walk into the light are wanderers from the higher densities who have also gone through the forgetting process in order to balance love and wisdom, to live a life in faith, and to help lighten the planetary vibrations of Earth. Then Q’uo spoke to the thought that all wanderers would return to their home density as this was not a true statement because wanderers also have to achieve the grade of serving others at least 51% of the time in order to return to their home density, and this can be done by finding the love in every moment and in all things in as undistorted a way as is possible. Then Q’uo suggested that we use persistence, the light touch, and meditation to seat our lessons as we travel our spiritual journey because many of our lessons will be difficult and intense in the realm of the Dark Night of the Soul where we are distilling a truth and a duty that is larger and more whole than anything we can imagine because we are already a perfection that is the one infinite Creator, and yet we have this opportunity not to know and yet to seek.  Q’uo continued by saying that each of us can have moments of clarity and delight in being a portion of the one Creator, and these moments reside within our heart because it is through our heart center that these awarenesses are able to springboard from our unconscious mind into our conscious mind. Then Q’uo encouraged us to trust ourself and to get to know that self that we are trusting ever more deeply; to strengthen our power of discrimination by trusting it; and by seeing first-hand how this works because it is a faculty within us that is a gift from the one infinite Creator and from our higher self. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that our guidance is linked to our sense of discrimination, so they recommended that we move to a place within our hearts and ask: “Is this true for me?” If it is, move on it. Use it. Live it. Eat it. If it is not, walk on.” because this is the way to invite coincidences like a song, a road sign, or a bird, so once we become aware of the synchronicity of spiritual events, we will find more of our experience speaking directly to us in a spiritual sense. On September 11, 2010, Q’uo spoke of how our guidance is related to synchronicities:

However, it is extremely helpful if you remember to thank the unseen guidance that you have, your higher self, your angels, those ministering beings that are attracted to you because of your energy, your vibration, your hopes, and your dreams. Ask them every day for their help and thank them for being with you. That frees them to enter more fully into the process of offering you synchronicities.

Now, here’s the way that it works: once you have taken the leap into faith you set into motion a different set of rules. You are now awake, vibrant, magical, dancing with the energies around you, knowing that you are a part of all that there is and that all that there is loves you as you love all that there is.

Thusly, when you have a thought, it doesn’t simply roll around in your head and go “clunk” like a gutter ball at the bowling alley. The thought moves out into the dance. And that which wants to respond to that thought begins to find ways to enter into your reality. Entities meet. There is a song on the radio that says, “Yes, that thought that you were thinking just then is very good. Keep that up.”

Your totem might show up! And if you do not know what your totem is, simply become aware of what tree you were drawn to, what bird speaks to you, what force of nature pulls at you and feels like something you want in your life, whether it be bird, beast, crystal, or tree. That kingdom, that nature spirit of tree or bird or beast or rock, will find a way to show up in your reality to underscore or emphasize a train of thought and help you to begin to build a personal store of intelligence.

May we say what a delight it has been to talk about these subjects through this instrument, and we would like to continue this meeting through the one known as Jim. We would 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 Home Depot to buy some netting to go on the west side of my fishpond since there has been a large tear in the current netting. My second stop was at Whole Foods to buy some Choc-Zero chocolate candy. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription and place an order for two more.

This afternoon I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves in the front yard into a pile in front of my truck, Sybil, in expectation that David’s Lawn Service will be coming by in a day or two to suck them up.

Bosco seems to be doing much better today behaving normally, and I am definitely glad to be able to say that.

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

November 29

Black, White And Gray

I am the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, of the consciousness of Love in the vibration which comforts this instrument. I greet you in the name of Love and in its full consciousness.

As always, we bring you news of the kingdom, the kingdom which you call heaven, but which is, in fact, the kingdom of true perception. For as you gaze about you within your quotidian days, your rituals and rites of dailiness, you judge and deem the nature of all things in shades of gray.

Yet in the kingdom of heaven are all things light. The thought of blackness is possible as a supposition but as an actuality, the concept of the mixture of white and black becoming gray is unthinkable, for light is exclusive to light, and all things are filled with that light to the exclusion of any shade or variation.

Thus ,at this moment each soul is full of light, full of life, and full of true perception. Yet your quotidian eyes bring about a curtain of shadow, an illusion which colors action and makes it possible.

Attempt, within your world of gray, as you act, to realize that behind all action there is an absolute reality. Therein lies the strength of faith and thence you may obtain the will to persevere in any circumstance, knowing that true perception shall yield to you the full consciousness of Love and the absolute lucidity of Light.

May peace be yours, 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 April 2, 2000:

The question this week has to do with protection. And we are thinking about two types of protection. First, the type that you would invoke from outside of yourself if you felt that there was a need for angelic protection, protection by Jesus, in asking a saint for protection or a guide or any other inner energy you felt was helpful. We would like Q’uo to speak to that type of protection and also relate it to the type of protection that comes from one’s way of living, from focusing on the being, upon service to others. Ra said producing fruit was a protected activity. Would this have anything to do with refusing to be afraid of that from which you might need protection? Does it help to have an attitude of gratitude?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. We greet each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whose service we are. We cannot express our delight to you and our pleasure at being able to join this meeting this afternoon. It is always a signal event when we are able to meet with this group. We would like to thank each for calling us to you by your desire for the truth. In that regard we would like to share with you that it is our perception that we are not authorities over you in any way, nor do we have what is, for you, necessarily the truth. We have opinions and thoughts which have come out of our experience, and we are happy to share this with you, for this is the nature of our service to the Creator at this time, to be in communication with those who seek information of this kind in this way. However, we ask that each thing that we say be brought before each entity’s discrimination, for you and only you will be able to feel the resonance of your truth when you hear it and when it comes into your heart. If there is not this solid feeling of resonance in our thoughts then we ask that you leave them behind, for what we are doing is not so much informing but, rather, sharing. For we are as you: students of the way. That way that calls all of us towards the mystery and the fullness of the one infinite Creator.

You ask this day concerning protection, and because of the music which you played to begin to tune the session we would choose to begin with a discussion of the protection that can come from what the questioner called outer sources. The practice of calling for aid from a strong helper is as ancient as the belief that there are strong helpers. You must see your density as one in which you will inevitably, again and again, throughout your life be in the position of wishing to call for help from others. For the entire purpose of third density is socialization, the learning to give and to receive love and to give and receive lovingly that encouragement and support that is needed.

This instrument, for instance, in her tuning process habitually calls upon the archangels and all of the discarnate and angelic spirits that are within the inner planes of your planet. This instrument asks them to come and be a part of the session of working, helping to protect the instrument, the source of the contact, the contact itself, each person in the circle of seeking, the circle as an entity, and the physical space in which the meeting is taking place, the room, the house, and the surroundings. Each time that this instrument tunes itself for contact it goes through these preparatory protections. Further, it works with the energy centers of its body and wraps itself first in the protection of the body by the body and then the protection of the infinite white Light of the one Creator.

May we say in this regard, then, that it is efficacious to call upon those entities, energies, and essences to which an entity relates as ideas or ideals that are esteemed and admired. Calling for help sets up a dynamic within the inner planes as does any prayer. Indeed, we may include in this category specific worries which come repeatedly to the mind and begin to take over the mind. If these worries can be reformed into a more prayerful rendition so that help is asked this is an efficacious thing to do. However, you may note here that in this way of asking for protection danger is seen as “out there” and the protection against the danger is also seen as “out there”; that is, beyond the confines of the physical body and its thoughts and feelings and spiritual nature.

Consequently, there is a natural limit to this kind of request for help. The efficaciousness of these prayers and request for protection depend, in part, upon the attitude of the one praying towards the entities who are asked for help. If an entity is not actually one who believes or has faith that such calls for help will have an effect, then it weakens the prayer greatly. The faculty of faith, then, is signally important in asking for help from outer sources as well as in general.

To look at the attitude of the spiritually awakened entity who refuses outside help we would like to look at some of the actions of the teacher known to you as Jesus. This entity was extraordinarily aware of the issues involved in asking for protection. This is a time within what this instrument would call the church year when the one known as Jesus spent over a month in the desert. The story goes that this entity was fasting and being tempted. One of the temptations that this entity, Jesus, faced was the temptation to ask for outer help from angels. “Go ahead,” suggested a negatively-oriented entity, “Throw yourself off of a high rock. Show me that the angels will catch you and not allow you to harm as much as your foot.” Jesus remained on the rock. “You are hungry,” came the voice. Make some bread out of that stone.“ Jesus ate locusts and starved. This entity grasped that he had no need of protection because he had nothing to fear. As the one known as T so accurately pointed out in an earlier discussion, an entity which has come to be fearless has come into a kind of balance that is beyond the forces of life and death. This may make such an entity seem weak-minded or to be missing the point. Someone new to the story of Jesus the Christ would at this point wonder what the point was of refusing any help when clearly there was no food, no shelter, and no comfort.

And, yet, to the one known as Jesus all that was necessary was the knowledge that he and the Father were one. He and the Father could be one in a desert with nothing to eat. He and the Father could be one in death when that illusion would vanish, and he would once again, in spirit and in truth, be one with the Father. He could be one with the Father in any human situation whatsoever. And this was the value that this entity held above all others, seeing the primal nature of this utter belief in the unity of all things under the one infinite Creator.

The group question for this session was: “The question this week has to do with protection. And we are thinking about two types of protection. First, the type that you would invoke from outside of yourself if you felt that there was a need for angelic protection, protection by Jesus, in asking a saint for protection, or a guide or any other inner energy you felt was helpful. We would like Q’uo to speak to that type of protection and also relate it to the type of protection that comes from one’s way of living, from focusing on the being, upon service to others. Ra said producing fruit was a protected activity. Would this have anything to do with refusing to be afraid of that from which you might need protection? Does it help to have an attitude of gratitude?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that calling for assistance from outer sources is an ancient practice for those within the third density where the socialization of all entities is a process in which each can give and receive love and support from others. Q’uo continued by saying that Carla in her tuning process asked for assistance from the archangels, angels, and the infinite Light of the Creator to protect her, the channeling process, and all the members of the group as well as the house and grounds. Then Q’uo suggested that when an entity feels a need for assistance that it call for those inner plane beings that it feels are most able to help it, and the most important aspect of the calling for aid is having the faith that the call with be answered. Q’uo went on to say that Jesus was not afraid of any sources outside of Itself and, therefore, did not call for any outside assistance because Jesus was an entity had come to be fearless with a kind of balance that went beyond the forces of life and death because He knew that He and the Father were one in any situation including life and death. On September 23, 2000, Q’uo spoke of the types of entities that may answer our call for assistance:

Each entity such as yourself has those presences about him which are from birth given the honor and the duty to watch over and guide the progress of those within their care. In your case there are those who have been called, not only from birth, but according to the interests and areas of investigation which you have undertaken in this time period of which you speak. Thus, added to the angelic presences that are seen most commonly by your peoples as guides—those of the male and those of the female and those of the androgynous nature—there are also those inner planes teachers which have responded to the particular interests which you have given your attention to. Thus, not only do you find their influence in the books which make themselves available to you and the meetings of other entities in your daily round of activities that seem synchronistic but also in the moving into certain activities such as the joining of this weekend gathering of seekers that may seem in some to have been coincidental. Yet each step was carefully planned, not only by such invisible assistance but by those portions of yourself which you may see as your higher self, which is that great resource which may be called upon in the silence of the open heart. As one moves along the path of seeking the intensity of the desire is that which is seen as foremost in importance in responding to a seeker’s call for assistance. Thus, you attract to you those whose desire to serve is as strong as your desire to seek. In this way there is the opportunity to give information in many forms that will assist in opening to the heart and to the mind those layers of self that are most in need of being explored.

There is a great key in this understanding. As long as an entity may tabernacle with the Most High, with El Shaddai, with the Light, the Creator, the one original thought or Logos that is the Creator, all else has a habit of falling into place. This falling into place may include limitation, difficulty, illness, and death. We do not say that fearlessness or faith will protect one from the natural processes of catalyst, declining health, or the natural end to an incarnation. However, let us continue to look at the attitude of the one known to you as Jesus the Christ. For if there was ever an entity which declined protection, this was the entity.

In Its final days, knowing that this was its final few days upon the Earth, one night after dinner this teacher lovingly asked for its students to accompany him to a place where they could pray, for the one known as Jesus was fully aware that the time was almost gone and, oh, how this entity dreaded what was to come, as would any human in the bloom of life, young, and strong, and vigorous. It did not wish to lay itself down upon an altar as had Abraham done his son. He had no wish to immolate himself on some sacrificial fire. He wished to teach and to share and to love those who had been given to him. But the will of the Creator was pressing upon this entity’s awareness, and he could not ignore the call that he felt was true. One last time he said in prayer, “O Father, please, if it is at all possible, let this not happen. Let me not have to do this.” The answer was “no.” Three different times he looked around to see if anyone was still praying with him and three times he found that all of his students were asleep and that he must meet this moment alone, vulnerable, completely undefended and unprotected.

When that moment came, when their little retreat was filled with soldiers suddenly, his students sprang to defend him. But he shook his head, “No,” he said. “Put away your swords. My kingdom is not of this world. No fighting, please.” He gave himself up to the authorities immediately and he walked willingly and sacrificially into his destiny. There must have been a thousand times in the next twenty-four hours before his death when he was tempted to say something in his own defense, to call upon powerful friends, or his heavenly Father, or some kind of angelic fix, but he never prayed, “Get me out of here.” He was too busy watching for one more opportunity to love. When he was upon the cross at last, in the worst of his misery he kept finding little ways to show love. He saw his mother and suggested that one of his disciples take care of her and that she take care of him. He prayed for those who were murdering him, asking that his Father forgive them. No excuses. No anger. Just one more way to extend love, and when one of the two who were crucified with him mocked him and the other rebuked the first thief and said to Jesus, “Sorry about that. As for myself, do you suppose if you make it, you could bring me along?” Jesus said “This day you will be with me in paradise.” Anyone who hears this story knows two things for sure. Jesus the Christ loved, and that thief was in paradise that day.

Now, how to bring such intense and pure Love into your life, how to ask of that Love to remove all fear we do not know, for with each entity the gifts of your incarnation, the circumstances of your incarnation, and the lessons that you came to learn will greatly shape the rhythm of your life. And those lessons that cycle through, again and again, for you may not seem at all the same as the lesson that is cycling for the next person, for your mate, or for your sister, or for your good friend. And, indeed, each of us, no matter what our density, if we are in incarnation, does have an agenda that we design for ourselves before we entered incarnation. This agenda involves relationships which need to be balanced and issues about which we have not yet learned enough to make skillful choices.

Now, both of these relationships and these issues will revolve around some aspect of the giving and the receiving of love to each other. As we said, your third density is a social density. You are here to learn to love, to give it, and to receive it. You would be surprised how often it is that the giving of love is not difficult. It is the receiving of love. It is the surrender to love that is so hard, so very, very hard. And we know this because we have been through much more experience, but we still have that slight skin of separation between us and the goal that we see before us. We do not yet see that all things are one and that all expressions are one and, then, even the most fearsome and negative expression is a distortion of Love. And, yet, we find that if we can move into that awareness that sees all entities and souls and all behavior as distortions of Love, no matter how we feel about the actions involved we can continue to open our hearts and allow the Love of the infinite Creator to flow through us and out into loving that distorted entity that is attempting to act negatively towards us. No matter how opaque the negative action may seem from the human standpoint, the rising to a level where all are seen as souls places the mind in a position which gives it the capacity to grasp that all is truly one, that all is truly well, and that all will truly be well.

Is this wellness congruent or synonymous with “well” in the worldly sense? By all means, no. That which is well in the spiritual sense may involve limitation, difficulty, disease or death. For these are processes that are part of life just as much as being born, being young, and learning new things, and so forth. The energies of living and of dying are companions within the density and its blood and bone aspect. This is a physical density. It is not an eternal one. That portion of yourself that is within incarnation and that will not continue after incarnation has every right to be afraid of death. Again, it is a matter of a leap of faith with no proof whatsoever to come to the understanding or the acceptance of what this instrument would call faith. And there is in that faith a surrender, or a leap involved and in this leap of faith there is the leaping into what is specifically and absolutely unknown. There is no cheating here. No one can know while jumping into midair that the parachute is going to open, and that is what faith is like. Because faith is that which looks at a situation in which protection is desperately needed apparently, judges the situation and sees no human avenue for help, and simply says, “All is well, and all will be well.”

Then Q’uo said that as long as we tabernacle with the Creator, all else will fall into place for us, and this would include any difficulty, illness, or death because faith would not prevent any of these occurrences. Q’uo used Jesus again as an example of one who needed no outside protection even though He wished to continue teach those who followed Him and prayed to His Father to take this cup from Him, and when the soldiers came to take him away He told his disciples to put away their swords, and when He was upon the cross He asked his Father to forgive those who crucified Him. Q’uo went on to say that they did not know how to apply such an intense Love as Jesus manifested to the nature of our lives because each of us has unique lessons to learn that involve relationships which we need to balance and how we can make more skillful choices, and that both of these issues will revolve around giving and receiving love with each other. They also said that receiving love was more difficult than giving love, and that even the most fearsome and negative expression is a distortion of Love, so if we can rise to a level where we see all as souls as truly one then we can see that all is well and will be well, and we can continue to open our hearts and allow the Love of the infinite Creator to flow through us and love the distorted entity that wishes to act negatively towards us. Then Q’uo said that this “wellness” is not the way it seems within the third density because spiritual “wellness” can include difficulty, disease, and death, so we should be willing to use our faith to leap into the unknown and simply know that “all is well, and all will be well.” On February 11, 2001, Q’uo gave an example of negative actions of another against us can be used for both of us to discover that all is well and all will be well:

As human beings within the third-density illusion, each of you moves as best as one can through this illusion, knowing that there will be those times when the misstep is made. However, with the faith that all is well and shall be well, one may also know that any misstep or injurious action can also be utilized for healing and harmony that will bring the entities closer together in the unity of thought and compassion that binds all beings within the One Creation. Thus one may utilize any previous disharmonious action or misstep as a method of working both upon the self and upon clearing communication between the self and any other self with which one has a relationship in the daily round of activities.

Where does this faith come from? We assure you it is a powerful protection. It is the most powerful protection that you can invoke. It involves you as a human and spiritual entity digging in your feet, metaphysically speaking, and saying, “Here I am. Listen to me. I am real. I am not what I was born, and I am not going to go away when I die to this reality. I am a citizen of eternity. I follow a higher law. I follow a higher way, a higher truth, a higher life.” It is this identification with an idea or an ideal for which you would die and for which you are living that brings you to the courage to jump into midair and say, “I am doing this by faith, blind faith, and I will live by faith, blind faith, not words, not deeds, not reasoning, not wisdom, not logic, not what seems to be efficient or suggested. I will live by faith.”

This entity, this instrument speaking, once was at the crossroads of life and death. And because the ailments involved were physical was fully aware of the tenuousness of her hold on physical life. In that situation this instrument’s reaction was to put up two quotes. One was from her beloved St. Paul. It was a long passage about being bloody but unbowed, in difficulty yet lifted up, and it spoke to those pains and agonies which the instrument was going through. The other one was simply the re-writing of part of the opening monologue of the original version of the television program Star Trek. This entity laboriously wrote out, “Faith, the final frontier,” and placed it where she could see it every minute of every day. For she knew that it was faith and only faith that would keep her alive. Faith that all was well and that all would be well. And as this instrument went through one emergency situation after another and then one difficult rehabilitation after another, she kept this motto with her as the watchword. Faith, the final frontier. And, truly, this motto was able to open every door, to quell every fear, to quiet every anxiety, but only because the instrument moved into a state of mind in which nothing actually mattered except remembering that watchword.

For a time it is very possible that this instrument was difficult to live with, for it was so keenly focused on the best protection it knew. And it is possible that when you sense a crux of destiny and do what you need to do within your own mind and heart and soul in order to hew to faith you may lose a friend or find that a family member does not understand you. Or that other entities feel that you are not exercising proper caution or care. And, yet, this attitude of faith is, to our knowledge, the key to the highest protection of life, of work, and of fruit that we know is effective within or without incarnation. This is a value and an asset that is powerful within third density particularly because it cannot be proven. There is no way that you can sit down with someone and justify faith. There is no way you can prove faith. You cannot argue someone into having faith. There is no reason or rhyme to faith. And, yet, it is our understanding that this is how the creation works. To those who have faith and move forward in that faith, the universe opens, and the entity moves with increasingly unfettered foot through all the densities of love, of light, and of unity.

Now, how can you attempt to build your own faith? We would suggest three things to you. Firstly, we would suggest focusing upon love. This instrument is fond of saying “There is love in this moment. Where is it?” This instrument is incorrectly quoting those of Ra, but the idea is important. In all relationships there is a more loving path, and we encourage each to spend the time and the thought aforetimes, if possible, to see the way clear to cooperating with this path of love. This is not necessarily an easy choice, for the entities that one deals with are not designed to be pleasant or helpful necessarily in the usual sense, but, rather, may well have been chosen specifically because of their irritating and aggravating value, for it is in the friction and the heat of tempering and refining fire that the personality which you wish to improve will have the opportunity to improve. For that tempering and that friction begins to smooth away some of those aspects of personality that may not be so helpful in a spiritual sense. And they will not leave simply because you would rather that they not be there. They will leave when they fall away because they are no longer called upon. And the habit of not calling upon them will come because there will come a time of testing, and you will have learned enough to make a more skillful choice and to cooperate with the love in the moment rather than in the defense of the self.

The second aid to increasing the ability to choose faith is meditation. You will note that we do not ever lose an opportunity to encourage seekers to prayer, meditation, praise, and thanksgiving. These powerful techniques of tuning the mind and the heart have a cumulative effect. The first time you choose to go into the silence or to have a conversation with the infinite Creator that is honest, and deep, and probing it may not seem to have amounted to much. But if you persist, then, moving into that silence again and again, that silence will expand and lighten and become the holy of holies in which you are sitting with the Creator. Indeed, the Creator sits already within your heart of hearts and waits for you to come and join Him.

The third aspect that will increase faith is the right use for the will. Indeed, faith and will go hand in hand and we encourage each of you to gain an ever-increasing respect for your will. For it is your will that decides what you will desire, how you will desire it, and how strongly you will pursue it. We encourage each of you to hone and purify your desire. Always asking yourself, “Who am I? And what is my desire? What is my deepest self and what is my deepest desire?” For the more you know about yourself the more you will be able to come into acceptance and forgiveness of yourself. And the less that those of negative orientation can do to unbalance and topple you from this balanced view in which you are attempting…

[Tape change.]

The will can run away with the self and lead the self into most unwise areas of thought and interests. And that is why we emphasize the right use of will. Before you apply your will, before you decide to will that which you desire, we encourage each to look carefully at your desire to see if that desire is consonant with the laws of love that demand that all entities have free will and that the self never infringe upon that free will. Be very sure that you are following love and that your desire truly is a loving desire before you set your will behind it. For that which you will to desire you will receive. And each desire, when fulfilled, will have side effects which contain the possibility of adhering karma. Consequently, be very clear when you set your will, and gaze carefully at what occurs thereafter with an eye to maintaining a loving and giving and cooperative attitude concerning the outworkings of that fulfilled desire.

Now Q’uo said that our faith comes from our being a human being and a spiritual being, a being of eternity that gives us the courage to leap into midair and say: “I am doing this by faith, blind faith, and I will live by faith, blind faith, not words, not deeds, not reasoning, not wisdom, not logic, not what seems to be efficient or suggested. I will live by faith.” Then Q’uo used Carla as an example of using her faith to get through difficult medical situations by using quotes from St. Paul about his going through difficulties bloodied but unbowed, and from Star Trek where she used the phrase: “Faith, the final frontier”. Q’uo went on to say that when we live our lives in such faith that others may think that we are not being wise, but if we have faith and live our life in that faith, the universe opens to us, and we move rapidly through the densities of love, of light, and of unity. Then Q’uo said that we can create this kind of faith by finding love in every moment, even when we are dealing with difficult situations and people by becoming refined in the fire of these difficulties so that there is no longer any desire to defend ourselves. Q’uo continued by saying that the second way that we can increase our faith is for us to move into the silence of meditation and create that holy of holies within us where we are sitting with the Creator who already sits within our heart of hearts and waits for us to join Him. Then Q’uo said that the third way that we can increase our faith is by the use of our will because it is our will that decides what we will desire, how we will desire it, and how strongly we will pursue it. Q’uo suggested that we should ask ourselves: “Who am I? And what is my desire? What is my deepest self, and what is my deepest desire?” They said that the more we know about ourself the more that we can accept and forgive ourself, and the less that those who treat us negatively can stop us and the balanced view that we are creating. Q’uo completed their response by saying that in order to keep our will from running away with us that we should seek the right use of our will to in harmony with the laws of love; that we recognize the free will of all entities; that we never infringe upon their free will; and that we maintain a loving attitude concerning how our will is fulfilled. On December 9, 1984, Oxal spoke of the right use of our faith and our will:

Oh, to have the faith that you to whom we speak now have. What a blessing you have, for to you all that is essential is shrouded in mystery. Only through faith do you understand that you are a spiritual being. Only through faith do you seek the truth and only through faith can you come alive and burn with an unquenchable flame. It is within your will and your power. It is not within ours. We refine. But you, my friends, you are mining. You are mining for your own precious heart. We wish you the right use of intellect, will, and faith as you search and dig and search again for the heart that lies beautiful and secret within you in the midst of this disheveled world which is third density.

This is a good beginning, we think, upon the topic of protection, so this instrument is encouraging us to wrap it up for this day. We are glad, then, at this time to transfer this contact to the one known as Jim that if there are any further questions we may respond to them before the end of this session. We thank this instrument and leave it in love and in light. We are those known to you as those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We greet you once again in love and light of the one Creator through this instrument. It is our privilege to ask if there might be any further queries to which we may respond?

S: This last week I have been quite depressed because our eldest daughter has chosen not to communicate with us and we don’t know if she is OK, if she needs our help, or what. Could you give any information that I could give her mother as to how she is doing?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The young entity of which you speak is one who feels the need to express its own individuality in a manner which not only carries the nature of its own unique identity but also an emotional charge as well, for as this entity was encouraged to partake in the pursuance of its own individuality it was, shall we say, set upon this journey in a manner in which it was in some disagreement with and now seeks to express its own anger and sense of self in the refusal to communicate with you and the one known as C. We cannot speak in a specific sense for we are not privy to the details, shall we say, of this entity’s experience but can give the report that it is well and is pursuing its own journey in its own way.

Is there another query at this time?

S: I’ve been reading recently on interesting magnetic devices and one thing interests me. They mention their source as the universal mind, and can you expand on the reference to a universal mind?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Each entity which has individuality and, seemingly, its own separate mind, if it moved deeper into the roots of its own mind it would pass through those greater and greater accumulations of mind such as the racial mind, the planetary mind, the archetypical mind of the Logos, and eventually into that area of the intelligent infinity which you may call the universal or cosmic mind of the one Creator. Thus, each entity, if it is able to move in a conscious fashion past the veil of forgetting which separates your conscious and subconscious mind, it would eventually come to this source of all minds.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: I have conversed with them a couple of times, and my recent e-mail messages have not been responded to. Should I be patient in that respect?

I am Q’uo, and we suggest patience is always a virtue. Is there another query at this time?

S: No. Thank you.

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

Carla: Would it be helpful if I showed S the material on the gateway to intelligent infinity which has to do with opening to the deeper aspects of the mind?

I am Q’uo, and we find that this is completely at your discretion, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to each for inviting our presence this day. It is always a joy for us to walk with you in your meditative sessions and we look forward to each such event. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning Bosco seemed to have had a seizure as he was wobbly on his legs for most of the morning. But this afternoon he seemed to get back to normal in how he walked. He also ate a regular amount of food and drank water. I wasn’t able to get in contact with my vet to see what she thought about Bosco’s situation because it is Thanksgiving. I will give her a call the first thing in the morning.

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

November 25

Yesterday’s Faith

I am a particle of the Love of Christ, the Spirit sent forth to enliven the world which lies in darkness. I greet you in the consciousness of that Love which is powerful enough to banish night.

Yesterday’s faith is not today’s, nor is hope for tomorrow a substitute for the present consciousness of redemption. If you seek to know the consciousness of Love, seek in the here and now, not through memory or through desire for future good. For it is in the present moment that your darkness resides. It is the present darkness over which you have potential power, through the grace of Jesus Christ and through the Love of Love itself.

Know you not that seeking for Light, even in a dark present, can at least crack open the gates of Light? And for that slight, illumined crack of Light, there is no price valuable enough to purchase so dear a thing! For only a little Light, sought for and found, may illuminate all of your present darkness if you can but will it so.

Thus, do not depend upon your faith as if it were a constant thing, for, like food for the body, the nourishment of the soul, being Light, must be taken daily, and, indeed, periodically within each day, that you may replenish the Light within you which comes from another dimension.

From the dimension of peace, we wish you peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 19, 2000:

The question this week has to do with the discipline of the personality. We wonder what that might mean and how we can utilize it in our daily lives. Does it have more to do with how we respond to the things we do in our daily lives? Does it also include what we do in our daily lives? If, for example, we had six times during the day that we did meditation and prayer would it be a discipline of the personality in the positive sense for us to do these six meditations with a welcoming, relaxed, happy, open attitude, or would we still be exercising disciplines of the personality if we did it grudgingly or if we occasionally forgot? What exactly is the discipline of the personality, and how can we use it in our spiritual life?

(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. It is our privilege for us to join your circle of meditation. We thank you for the beauty of your vibrations and the keenness of your desire to seek and know the truth. As always, we ask that those things that we say be tested by your own discrimination so that you keep only those things which seem helpful to you and release the rest from your memory.

You ask this day concerning the discipline of the personality. We are most glad to speak to you on this subject but, as is often the case, we would like to place this question in the context in which we see it, for this question is a question concerning what this instrument would call work in consciousness. This work in consciousness is a function of the indigo-ray or pineal energy center and there are strictures upon the appropriate occasion for doing such work which we would like to look at.

As this instrument is at this time working on the project of creating a handbook for wanderers it has had a good deal of occasion to reflect upon the basic arrangement or pattern of the metaphysical universe. Each of you as a physical entity and part of the physical universe is a human being with goals and interests, habits, and preferences. The world seems to do unto you rather than you unto it. In the metaphysical universe this same situation takes on an entirely different cast. Rather than things in the world having weight, it is the thoughts and the intentions, the desires and intensifying effects and the blockages of energy and relaxing or limiting effects of catalyst that bear weight.

The person who is newly awakened to the way the metaphysical universe works will need to make a dramatic and often life-changing shift in thought in terms of what is valued or prioritized in the attention from moment to moment as the seeker is going through her day. The things of the world call upon the very persuasive levels of the senses and the errands and chores and busyness of the day intrudes greatly upon this basic frame of mind with which the person of the world goes about interacting with his environment. In terms of the metaphysical universe the everyday experience becomes the hallowed and greatly valued grist for the mill, as the one known as Ram Dass put it. And when one considers the same chores and concerns one is looking not simply for the completion of a list of things to do but also a way of going about the doing of these things that is informed and energized by the manner of being which underlies and undergirds the everyday experience.

Itis in this regard that the discipline of the personality can come into play. However, it is important to note that the energy system of the mind, body, and spirit of the complex of energies cannot be manipulated beyond certain limits. That is, if there is a blockage in the lower three energy centers, which have to do with survival, the way the self regards the self or relates to other entities one at a time, and the way the self relates to the groups of third density, such as the work environment and the family, then the power of the one infinite Creator that enters the body in infinite supply cannot come into the heart center with full energy. There are many ways to distort or block or confuse these lower energies.

Themost likely culprit in the root-ray or red energy center is the self’s basic opinion of the self as being either a deserving portion or an undeserving portion of the creation. Those who are harboring depressed thoughts and thoughts of suicide, for instance, will block almost all energy coming into the body system. Those with intense sexual cravings or with other ways in which the self has distorted the energies of sexuality and survival can also substantially block and hinder the life-force from moving into the body energy system and rising to the heart. Each of you knows already too well the difficulties of the orange and the yellow-ray energy centers, as the conversation before this meditation expressed eloquently. Each is working with the concept of self, with the concept of self in relationship, and with the concept of self in groups, in ways that distort and filter that energy. And each, being unique, is doing that distorting and partial blocking in her own way. And, therefore, each has what this instrument calls a knot to untangle that is unlike anyone else’s knot, has the confusion to unravel that is not precisely not like anyone else’s confusion.

And while these processes are going on it is not wise to attempt to work in the higher energy centers. This means that there are many times in each day where remedial and centering work in balancing the lower energy centers and clearing them is called for. There is not the work that is done once and then left but, rather, the metaphysical housework of clearing and re-clearing and re-clearing, cleansing and cleaning the energy centers, encouraging them by various means to be crystallized, balanced and energized so that more and more energy can be taken in and processed and transmuted as the energy moves up the energy system of the body. Each then must determine, daily, hourly, if it is an appropriate time to do work in consciousness. If it is an appropriate time to be looking at the discipline of the personality. Now that we have expressed our cautionary hope that each will refrain from doing such higher energy work until full energy is pouring into the heart, we can take into consideration the discipline of the personality.

The group question for this session was: “The question this week has to do with the discipline of the personality. We wonder what that might mean and how we can utilize it in our daily lives.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that disciplines of the personality are also known as work in consciousness that are focused on the indigo ray or pineal gland, and in the physical world we are acted upon by the world around us whereas in the metaphysical world it is our thoughts and intentions, the blockages of energy, and the limiting effects of catalyst that act upon us. Q’uo went on to say that as we awaken to the nature of the metaphysical world, we will need to make changes in how we carry out our daily round of activities from the worldly way of just completing our list of chores to the metaphysical point of view which values more how we do whatever we do. Then Q’uo said that we can manipulate the energy system of our mind, body, and spirit only within certain limits, and if there is a blockage in the lower three energy centers then the power of the infinite Creator cannot reach up into the heart. Q’uo continued by saying that there were various ways to block or distort these energy centers, and it was usually the red ray that was blocked when we have distortions towards our survival such as feeling suicidal or distortions towards intense or distorted sexual desires. They also said that the distortion of our orange ray relations with one other person, or our yellow ray interactions with groups, could also create blockages that are unique to each of us, and while we are working to untangle these blockages it is not wise to attempt work in the higher energy centers. Q’uo suggested that we continue to attempt to balance, clean, and energize these lower three energy centers on a daily basis. On November 17, 2018, Q’uo describe how to use the discipline of the personality:

The disciplines of the personality are those practices which the seeker of truth engages within and upon by utilizing the catalyst of the daily round of activities. These disciplines involve being able to utilize each unknown area of experience in a manner which illuminates one energy center after another, in an ascending fashion, so that what you would call the rising of the kundalini is experienced by the seeker of truth. This rising of the kundalini requires, then, that each ascending energy center be worked with throughout the incarnational pattern of experience in a manner which allows the pre-incarnative choices to be realized in the catalyst of the daily round of activities.

This experience of utilizing such catalyst in an ascending fashion is that which requires that the meditative state be utilized in order to examine the catalyst of the day, and each catalyst of the day which has moved the entity away from its center of love and balance as a response to all catalyst, then, is in its turn, balanced, so that it further allows the movement of the intelligent energy further up or along the energy centers. This meditative state is also enhanced, primarily, shall we say, by the analysis of the mind to begin to achieve a basic understanding, if we may misuse this term, of the catalyst which is being experienced and processed by the entity in the meditative state.  

As a background to work in consciousness in general it may be noted that that energy which is called the rising of the kundalini is an energy placement that is heavily dependent upon the intensity and purity of desire and the type of desire that you as a soul or spirit are naturally and inherently feeling the need to express. In other words, there is energy entering the bottom of the energy system, coming up from the feet and into the root chakra and moving from there upwards. But there is also the inner Light of the one infinite Creator that is called into the energy system through the gateway of intelligent infinity through the violet ray and into the green, blue, and indigo energy centers. Work in the discipline of the personality is indigo-ray work. And it is facilitated greatly by persistent daily work on one’s desire. For the more intense that desire the more powerful will be that energy moving through the gateway to intelligent infinity from above. And the more powerful will be the pull that pulls that energy up from the root chakra and to the meeting with that inner light that is called by the metaphysical worker in consciousness.

What one hopes for from the energy system in this regard is to have an intensification of the full power that is coming into the heart meeting in the indigo-ray center, and this is a goal which cannot be followed as a goal but, rather, lived as a process. For, again, this will not be work that is done once and never again. This is in no wise a work that after one has done it one may rest upon one’s laurels. Rather, this is a continuing effort throughout the incarnation.

Now, let us look at the concept of the personality, for this is what one is attempting to discipline. It is our feeling that the personality shell is an artifact of the incarnation in which you are now enjoying existence. This personality shell was chosen carefully by you, picking from the gifts that you had worked upon in previous incarnations, choosing areas of weakness that would give dynamic to the catalyst that was desired for learning the specific lessons that you chose in this particular incarnation. It is not to be considered a real being but, rather, the outer shell of a being that is infinite. It is a face to meet the faces that one meets in the physical illusion, a voice to meet the voices, a way of thinking to meet the ways of thinking that one meets. Those of the Eastern religions tend to look at this as a fundamentally unreal entity and see the self as unreal. We note that this is, to us, a somewhat simplistic diminution of the actual situation.

However, we would agree that the ego is a good term for this personality shell and may be seen to be subject to the suspicions, shall we say, the justified suspicions of the spiritual seeker. For this personality shell is a collection of gifts, challenges, limitations, and biases of all kinds which then is taken out of one’s control, for the most part, while one is young in years and given a thorough enculturation from parents, teachers, and others in authority during the young years of the incarnation. By the time the entity awakens spiritually and resolves to take responsibility for the self this personality shell has become huge. It seems very real. It seems to be indestructible and almost impossible to change in many ways. This is a semi-permeable illusion.

There is complete free will to alter the distortions of the self. It is simply that there is tremendous resistance to change from this personality shell. The value of the shell is that it is as the user interface between the self and the catalyst, those faces that meet your face, those thoughts that meet your thoughts, and so forth. It gives you a place to start. It gives you preferences and biases to begin with. It gives you, shall we say, the abode that is as the haven where the precious self within rests in potential, waiting for the opportunity to come forth.

Then Q’uo said that work in consciousness in general terms refers to the rising of the kundalini, and it is an energy placement that depends upon the intensity and purity of our desire that we, as a soul, are feeling the need to express as we feel the intelligent energy rising from our feet, and up through the red ray chakra, and then we feel the inner Light of the one infinite Creator moving down into the energy centers through the gateway to intelligent infinity, through the violet ray, and then down into the green, blue, and indigo energy centers. Then Q’uo said that work in the discipline of the personality is indigo-ray work and is aided by daily work on our desires because the more powerful that our desires are: “the more powerful will be the pull that pulls that energy up from the root chakra and to the meeting with that inner light that is called by the metaphysical worker in consciousness.” Q’uo went on to say that what we hope for is that the intelligent energy will rise into the heart and meet the intelligent infinity coming down from the crown at the indigo-ray center, and we must live this experience as a process for the rest of our lives. Q’uo continued by saying that we have chosen our personality shell to learn the lessons of our incarnation, and it is not a real being but is the outer shell of our true being that is infinite, and it is a face that we use to meet the faces in the third density illusion, and it is our way of thinking that meets other peoples’ ways of thinking. Then Q’uo said that our personality shell contains challenges and limitations which are taken on while we are young and being enculturated by our parents, teachers, and other authority figures, and by the time we spiritually awaken and decide to take responsibility our self, our personality shell has become huge, and it seems very real, indestructible, and almost impossible to change. Now Q’uo said that there is the free will to alter the self, but the personality shell resists any change, and it is the connection between the self and the catalyst provided by others that we meet and gives us our biases and gives us the home where the precious self within us rests in potential, waiting for the opportunity to come forth. On February 6, 2006, Q’uo defined what the personality shell consists of:

We gaze at this question for those items on which we may speak further to you that might be a resource in considering this question of what the personality shell is. We believe that we have expressed the concept that the personality shell, as we use that term, is not only a selection of personality traits such as preferences and ways to acquire information and process information but also includes items that are difficult to categorize to a mind such as we find this instrument to have. She does not grasp how you would characterize or categorize limitations, certain placements of limitation, and so forth. The placement of limitation has a special niche in the personality shell.

Many of those among your peoples in incarnation at this time have placed certain stoppages or limitations that will keep them from moving too far along an extreme towards an end that is not desired by the soul or spirit. An example of this is this instrument’s lifelong dynamic of frail and fragile health. This instrument carefully placed in its personality shell before incarnation a limitation that would come forward whenever this instrument chose, of her own free will, to move into a physical activity to the extent that she was unable to pursue a daily, inner, meditative and contemplative side. When this instrument has in the past developed such an aggressive and ambitious program of physical activity that it has found itself unable to feed its deeper needs in terms of contemplation and meditation, the physical body has simply broken down.

Now, each of you has undoubtedly noted throughout your experience that bits and pieces of this personality shell will fall away, sometimes for clear reasons, sometimes for no apparent reason, at a certain point within the incarnational experience. This instrument has called this the subtraction process, and many have thought of it as the refining fire that tempers the self. One could see the action of catalyst and experience on this personality shell as that of the sculptor who skillfully or awkwardly is attempting to create a new shape out of the block of stone that is the personality shell. There is a far more vital and authentic being resting within this relatively non-vital shell. Consequently, the spiritual being within the worldly incarnation is as the mine of precious stones which has been overlaid with dirt. It is a wise and protective measure, given the circumstances of incarnation. This mining, then, can be seen as the discipline of the personality. The careful, slow, almost scientific excavation of the authentic self from the jagged edges and roughness of the personality shell is the goal of the worker in consciousness who is attempting the discipline of the personality.

Each personality will have significant areas where the self can see that there is metaphysical work to be done. This instrument, for instance, cyclically moves into an attitude of self-condemnation because of its tendencies as a personality towards clothing itself in many, many varieties of outer skin; one layer of clothing after another is seen to be acceptable and then not acceptable. There is felt to be the energy given, for instance, as this entity has recently done, to the achievement of an Easter dress and hat because of this instrument’s tendencies to think along the terms of appearance and wishing to have the clothing that it would prefer.

However, simply cutting off the self from the purchase of the clothing can be seen only to be working on the surface of the personality. In disciplining the personality it is far more telling if the worker in consciousness can see into the fear and the unworthiness, these being indigo-ray energies that are distorting the entity towards achieving further changes of clothing in order to defend the self and create that feeling that the self is in some measure of control. Each entity will have deeply personal areas where the energy is drawn and leeched away from metaphysical pursuits, and it is to these rough places of the personality that the worker in consciousness will go in thought, not to condemn the self, not to attempt with the knife to excise surgically parts of the self, but, rather, to see these places as places where the earth is covering the jewels in such a deep way that the focus of service and learning is shifted to trivial concerns.

In no wise do we recommend that entities simply cut out those activities which the self considers beneath metaphysical notice. Rather, we would encourage each to come into a vision or an attitude concerning the self that—we offer this instrument the phrase, “My funny valentine.” We find the words to this song very pointed in this regard. “My funny valentine, you look so laughable, unphotographical. You’re my favorite work of art.” This is how you may see yourself as a spiritual entity. As a funny, but very, very sweet work of art. Each entity in incarnation, especially in third density, is a puzzle, a mystery, and an enigma with funny quirks and uncommon lapses that don’t seem to add up to a totally sensible human being, and, yet, with all of the preferences and biases and funny places yet still each of you is a beautiful and perfect sublime complex of vibrations that is unique and most beloved by the infinite Creator.

When you can have this attitude towards yourself, rather than a condemnatory or a judging attitude towards the self, this in turn frees the self to be the self without apology or guilt. And at the same time it frees the self to begin to consider where lies love in the personality and where lies fear. For fear is part of that dirt that covers the gems of the true and authentic self. What you are doing is panning for gold in a way. You don’t want to take great chunks of your self and toss them to one side. You might miss a gem. You want to take a sieve and sieve each part of that earth, gazing at all that is you to see where the glimmer of treasure truly is. And as you sieve and discard the earth, you do not judge the earth but, rather, thank it for protecting that authentic self and offering it a haven within incarnation which is relatively safe, no matter what the outer circumstances, difficulties or tragedies in a worldly sense that the self may be going through.

Now Q’uo said that we may notice that certain portions of our personality shell will fall away as a result of the action of catalyst that we experience in order to discover the more authentic nature of our spiritual being, and this is the work of the discipline of the personality. Q’uo continued by saying that each of us can see areas of metaphysical work to be done such as Carla’s condemning herself for being too attached to clothes that she feels are acceptable for a while and then she feels are not acceptable, so she decided to stop buying more clothes. Q’uo said this was merely working upon the surface of her personality, and it would be better, in disciplining the personality, if she could work with her fear and unworthiness as these are indigo-ray energies that are distorting her towards achieving further changes of clothing in order to defend herself and create that feeling that she is in some measure of control. Q’uo went on to say that each of us will have deeply personal areas where our energy is: “drawn and leeched away from metaphysical pursuits, and it is to these rough places of the personality that the worker in consciousness will go in thought, not to condemn the self, not to attempt with the knife to excise surgically parts of the self, but, rather, to see these places as places where the earth is covering the jewels in such a deep way that the focus of service and learning is shifted to trivial concerns.” Then Q’uo said that they did not recommend that we should remove those qualities that we do not feel are metaphysically worthy because it was better to see ourself as a spiritual entity that is a funny and sweet work of art. Then Q’uo said that in the third density we are a puzzle with traits that don’t look like a totally sensible human being, but each of us is actually a beautiful and perfect complex of vibrations that is unique and most beloved by the infinite Creator. Then Q’uo said that when we can have this loving attitude towards ourself rather than judging ourself, it frees us to be who we are, to look for where there is love and fear within us because fear keeps us from being our authentic self. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that what we really are doing is panning for gold within our being, and fear is like the dirt that is covering the gold, so we should carefully remove the dirt and thank it for protecting our authentic self and offering it a safe haven within our incarnation no matter what the outer circumstances are in a worldly sense that we may be going through. On February 9, 2019, Q’uo described the nature of our authentic self:

The terms “authenticity” and “full disclosure” are indeed quite relevant in the process of opening one’s heart, for in order for full disclosure of one’s beingness as the One Creator to be able to be felt by the self, the self must know itself in its authenticity. That is to say, the truth of the self is as we have spoken before in the previous query, far more than what seems to be such a limited creature here within the third-density illusion. The authenticity of each seeker of truth is that which is a spark of the great fire of the One Infinite Creator that burns as each sun in the sky seen as stars at night and suns in the day, each entity is intimately connected with the intelligent infinity that is the One Creator with the intelligent energy that is the formation of this universe in which we all live and dwell and have our being.

Thus, as in meditation and in contemplation in an action you discover this authentic self that is you at the heart of your being. You are able to utilize this realization in order to fully disclose the love and the light that is within you, that flow forth freely from you when you are able to realize who you are in truth, that you are but in this illusion a limited portion of the infinity of yourself that exists beyond all illusion, for authentically you are the Love and the Light and the unity of the One Infinite Creator. There is nothing else in the universe but these qualities formed in such and such a way in many dimensions of being in order to allow the One Creator to experience Itself in ways which are more intense in variety and more pure in quality so that It may know Itself more fully through each experience which you, as a portion of It, may have in any density or illusion of this infinite creation in which you dwell.

We feel that this is sufficient material to begin this consideration and would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim for further questions to refine this subject or anything that remains to be discussed at this working. We leave this instrument in thanks, love, and light and would now transfer to the one known as Jim. We are known to you as those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves to speak to any further queries which those present might have for us. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I would like to give the instrument a chance to ask any further queries on this topic since he is the one who brought it up. He can just ask it mentally and you can respond.

I am Q’uo, and we are aware that the one known as Jim will need to read that which we have given before further questions are offered. Is there any other query at this time?

Carla: Well, just to follow through the example of me with my clothes, would the discipline of my personality in this regard, then, be looking at this habit and this preference and seeing the energy that is caught there in a metaphysical sense rather than making a move to change my behavior? Would that be a discipline of the personality?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister, and we find that you are, indeed, correct in that when one is assessing the metaphysical treasure, the metaphysical value of an activity, an action, or a thought then one is beginning to build the foundation of that which shall, in total, for the entity become the discipline of its own personality. The personality in each instance, then, is offered an expression of itself in a fashion which allows for the understanding of the metaphysical nature of the action to be expressed. This is to say that all thoughts, and actions, words, and deeds may be assessed for the metaphysical quality that they offer to the individual. Thus, the entity in each instance is attempting to concern itself with those things which have value or growth. The metaphysical nature of each expenditure of energy is assessed and further expenditures of energy are arranged according to those qualities which the entity feels will help in personal growth.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: So, what I am hoping for when I am working on an area of my personality is that as I see into that area that I will have less and less to tie myself to that expenditure of energy. But is it also a discipline of the personality to go ahead and cut off the clothes-buying, in this particular instance, or is the metaphysical work best done by doing the thinking about it and then allowing spontaneous subtraction to take place?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my sister. The expression of the discipline of the personality would be in that area where you felt there was the greatest potential for personal growth in the metaphysical sense, springing from your decision concerning purchasing or not purchasing further clothing. One may, for example, feel that there was growth potential in further purchases, for they would add to the sense of worth for the self. Or one may feel that the metaphysical value would lie in the area of reducing the purchases or further purchases in this area would be felt to be of no value in the metaphysical sense. That is, there would be no increase in the sense of the worth of the self in so doing. This would depend upon the personality that was involved in such a purchase and how this entity viewed the self, the clothing, and the interaction of the two.

Carla: So, you are saying that it isn’t that one way is the right way, but that this is an area of play where we can make holy play out of improving ourselves or becoming more true to ourselves?

I am Q’uo, and we find that this is, indeed, correct, my sister, for it is the intention with which the activity is undertaken that determines its value in the metaphysical sense, and the discipline of the personality would be that activity which the entity determined to be of metaphysical value.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: One more. So if, for instance, we decided to be more disciplined about how much time we spent in formal meditation or offerings of some kind, what would make it a discipline of the personality would be the reason that we undertook such expenditure of energy. Is this correct?

Q’uo: I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister. Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you.

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

T: Yes. I mentioned earlier that I had an insight into my own possible motives, justification, or whatever, for certain service to certain people in my house, and it seems that part of this is ego or control factor on my part as much as wanting to help. I would like your comments on this type of thing when one undertakes a service and there are ulterior motives or things possibly of the personality that causes you to undertake this, that might not be the purest of motives.

I am Q’uo, and we believe that we grasp your query, my brother. In the situation of which you speak the underlying quality that is of significance is the intention upon your part is to be of service in an overall sense. This is to say, that the actions and attitudes employed with the desired end in mind…

[Tape change.]

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We shall continue. That situation of which you speak is one in which each entity involved is deemed to have a stake in the outcome of the endeavor. That is to say, that each entity will benefit from the action which has been undertaken, with the hope that the overall effect, then, will be for the growth of each entity. There may indeed be, as you have stated, certain hidden desires or portions to the agenda that one will be happy to see occur, yet we suggest that the overall desire for the benefit of all is the overriding consideration in this situation.

Is there a further query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you.

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

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and we are also most grateful to each who has gathered here on this day, and we would remind each that we are with you in your own meditations to aid in the deepening of your meditations. If you would ask us to join you there, we would be most happy to do so. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Speedway to get five gallons of gasoline for my mower, Venus. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought a bird feeder for my neighbor and some Aquasafe for my fishpond. My third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription for myself as well as some non-food items. When I got home I put the gas in Venus and mulched the leaves in the back yard.

This afternoon I had a zoom meet with my two friends of over 50 years for another study session of Session #40 of The Ra Contact and the book Living Buddha Living Jesus by Thich Nhat Hahn. We always start with a check-in to see how everyone’s life is going since the last time we got together. It is always great to get to spend some time with Glaeshia and Liz.

A few days ago I saw a story on my iPhone News app about how women in Afghanistan have lost nearly all of their rights to the Taliban after the United States left Afghanistan in August of 2021. The story was titled “Bread and Roses”, and the three women who were speaking up for the rights women in Afghanistan were Malala Yousafzai, the producer of “Bread and Roses” and a Nobel Peace Prize winner at age 17, Sahra Mani, the Director of “Bread and Roses”, and Jennifer Lawrence, Academy Awards winner from Louisville, Kentucky. If you Google: “bread and roses documentary where to watch”, you will see four videos that are 3-5 minutes in length that will give you and outline of how women in Afghanistan can no longer hold jobs, be educated, go outside without a chaperone, go shopping, sing, or play music. The phrase “Bread and Roses” comes from a 1911 speech by women’s suffragette Helen Todd.

If you would like to make a donation to help the women in Afghanistan, you can do so through this organization:

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

November 27

The Tide Of Spirit Within

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

The sea seems to flow, calm or stormy, with rhythms of its own. And only the sailor who gazes from the shore sees the water meet the earth. One who stands upon the strand of life sees that the water never rests, moving always in rhythm, utterly sensitive to those forces which cause it to advance upon the land and then retreat into the deeps.

So is the seeker’s soul, walking along that ever-changing tidal point of water and earth, of spiritual and natural man. The boundary is not clear but ever-moving and ever-responsive to those great forces of Spirit which move, alike, the waters of deep consciousness and the conscious creature who carries the seed within him.

Listen each day, each hour, to the sound of the tide of spirit within, that you may ever draw sustenance from the water; that you may be unafraid of the deeps within you. For you are that sailor who stands upon the shore and makes the choices of when to wade and when to be immersed in spiritual consciousness.

We wish you peace, the peace of water ever-moving, the creative peace which rests in love, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 5, 2000:

The question this week has to do with what would be the best way to deal with criticism from another person that really hurts us, that makes us feel real bad, especially when we feel that the criticism is unjustified. As a more specific focus for that general query, we would like information on how to deal with people that are specifically trying to take our power, that we feel drained of energy by after we leave their presence?

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We welcome each of you on this beautiful spring afternoon. Through your eyes we experience the beauty of your plant life as it blooms in the early spring chill. How beautiful your dwelling place is. We greatly appreciate being able to share your setting and meditation with you. As always, we ask that you hear everything that we say with a discerning and discriminating ear, listening for those thoughts that resonate within your own mind and heart. Keep those that do so resonate and leave the rest behind, please.

You ask this day about how to deal with situations in which an entity has said hurtful things or has treated you in such a way that you feel drained of energy, or saddened, or discouraged by the exchange. As we often do, we would like to take a few steps back from this specific query in order that we may talk about the background of this question. Each of you is a complex of vibrations. Your scientists can tell you this. This is not purely metaphysical truth. You are, in one way of looking at yourself, a system of energy fields. Each energy field has its life and essence and its way of interlocking with and interacting with other aspects of your energy, other fields of energy within your overall energy complex. You have spiritual energies, physical energies, emotional energies, mental energies, and these energies are a complex kind of signature that speaks your identity as clearly as your name, perhaps more clearly than the name you may share with someone else upon the planet which you now enjoy. You share the vibratory complex that you offer up at this moment with no one in the infinite creation. You are unique.

Each, seen from the viewpoint of a perfectionist, is somewhat out of balance with the self. Yet it is these eccentric balances that add to your charm and your uniqueness and enable you to offer the Creator a new and ever-changing picture of who and what It really is. Thusly, your Creator is delighted with you whether you are in happy times or in woe, whether you struggle or flow and swim easily with the current of your destiny. But to you, gazing within at your energies, there is not seen the charm and delight of your uniqueness. Rather, because as several have said this day in your discussion preceding this meditation, each has good days and bad days, and there are sometimes less skillful ways in which we share our energies.

The energy system that you work with in receiving catalyst and processing it into experience is your physical body, together with the finer bodies that interpenetrate that physical body you can see, feel, and touch. Often we suggest to you that it is not wise to use the logical mind, but in this particular case we encourage you when you are looking at how you are feeling with regard to another person that you do take stock, using the intellectual mind as well as the intuition, of the basic balances of the body at each center or chakra of energy. For it is at those chakras or energy centers that energy is exchanged between entities or people.

We would quickly review the basic seven energy centers we would suggest as a model for you to work with. The seven centers are the seven colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Each center has its domain and together they are as the path which the infinite energy of the one infinite Creator may travel, beginning with the red or base chakra. The first energy center that the incoming infinite Light and Love of the Creator touches is the red-ray energy center or chakra. To this energy center flow those issues that are the most basic: survival, the natural functions that are necessary for survival such as sexual reproduction, the achievement of a food supply, and so forth. Those who are blocked in the red-ray energy center have a straightened or narrow or low supply of energy moving throughout the rest of the energy system. Therefore, it is well, if you see some red-ray blockage within yourself, to lay all other concerns aside while you work upon this all-important energy center.

The orange-ray chakra is up the spine from the red-ray chakra, in the area of the lower belly. And to this energy center come the issues of one person to another person. To this center come concerns of being controlled, or controlling others, the love of control, or the fear of control, the love of being controlled, or the fear of being controlled.

Within the solar plexus is the yellow-ray chakra or energy center and to this energy center come the issues of the self with regard to groups. You will find many family difficulties depending from this center as opposed to the orange-ray center because within the mind the family members are given a different kind of concern, attention and energy sharing than one gives acquaintances or strangers.

These three lower energy centers are very often the centers which you will find being blocked or being overstimulated when there are what this instrument would call personal problems between people. When there is a straightening or narrowing of the path of energy flow in these three centers the supply of energy reaching the heart chakra is diminished. Consequently, there is far less energy with which to respond to felt insult, offense, or hurt feelings.

The group question for this session was: “The question this week has to do with what would be the best way to deal with criticism from another person that really hurts us, that makes us feel real bad, especially when we feel that the criticism is unjustified. As a more specific focus for that general query, we would like information on how to deal with people that are specifically trying to take our power, that we feel drained of energy by after we leave their presence?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they would like to give us more information about the nature of our being composed of the energy fields of our mind, our body, our emotions, and our spirits which interact with each other and create a unique vibration that is clearer than our names can ever be. Q’uo went on to say that we are usually out of balance and frequently have difficult days, but to the Creator every type of experience that we have gives It new and ever-changing ways of knowing of who and what It is. Q’uo went on to say that we have a physical body that contains an energy body that is composed of the chakras, and they suggested that we use our intellect and intuition to determine the type of experience that we are having with another person. Then Q’uo said that they wanted to review the nature of our chakras that provide the path of the intelligent energy of the Creator to travel through our energy body beginning with the red-ray chakra which involve those issues that are the most basic and which are necessary for survival such as sexual reproduction and the achievement of a food supply. They said that those who are blocked in the red-ray chakra have a low supply of energy moving throughout the rest of the energy system, so they said if we see a red-ray blockage within ourself that we should lay all of our other concerns aside while we work upon this all-important chakra. Then Q’uo spoke of the orange ray chakra that is located above the red-ray chakra, in the area of the lower belly, and it deals with the relationship of one person to another person and involves concerns of being controlled, or controlling others, the love of control, or the fear of control, the love of being controlled, or the fear of being controlled. Then Q’uo spoke of the yellow-ray chakra that is located within the solar plexus, and to this energy center will come the issues of the self in relation to groups such as family difficulties coming from this center instead of the orange-ray center because we give family members a different kind of attention and sharing of energy than we give to friends or strangers. Then Q’uo said that when any of these lower three chakras are blocked or overstimulated by difficult experiences with others, there is less energy available to the heart chakra that is necessary to deal with taking offense or having hurt feelings with others. On March 19, 2000, Q’uo described how we need to unblock the lower three chakras in order to open our hearts in our relationship with others:

However, it is important to note that the energy system of the mind, body, and spirit of the complex of energies cannot be manipulated beyond certain limits. That is, if there is a blockage in the lower three energy centers, which have to do with survival, the way the self regards the self or relates to other entities one at a time, and the way the self relates to the groups of third density, such as the work environment and the family, then the power of the one infinite Creator that enters the body in infinite supply cannot come into the heart center with full energy. There are many ways to distort or block or confuse these lower energies.

The most likely culprit in the root-ray or red energy center is the self’s basic opinion of the self as being either a deserving portion or an undeserving portion of the creation. Those who are harboring depressed thoughts and thoughts of suicide, for instance, will block almost all energy coming into the body system. Those with intense sexual cravings or in other ways in which the self has distorted the energies of sexuality and survival can also substantially block and hinder the life-force from moving into the body energy system and rising to the heart. Each of you knows already too well the difficulties of the orange and the yellow-ray energy centers, as the conversation before this meditation expressed eloquently. Each is working with the concept of self, with the concept of self in relationship, and with the concept of self in groups, in ways that distort and filter that energy. And each, being unique, is doing that distorting and partial blocking in her own way. And, therefore, each has what this instrument calls a knot to untangle that is unlike anyone else’s knot, has the confusion to unravel that is not precisely like anyone else’s confusion.

The higher energy centers are not those usually considered when thinking of how to deal with a difficult relationship or an unwise exchange of energy. However, it needs to be said that in the green-ray center there is great healing. In the blue-ray center of open communication even a little energy into this center can produce clear communication that is very helpful in situations sometimes. And certainly the indigo-ray center, which is that center which does work in consciousness, is one which the seeker is always attempting to use to some degree as the hope is held in the heart that the self is truly a seeker seeking for that which truly is there, as opposed to the self seen as a dreamer seeking for something that is not there, something that is only a dream. We can assure you that none of these energies or essences are at all dream related. Indeed, they are aspects of your nature that, to us, are far more real than your day-to-day experiences, for these are, as we said, the vibratory essences which are your signature in the metaphysical world. The saying that this instrument has is that you are what you eat. We would replace this adage with you are what you think.

What you ponder, what you hope, what you dream: these are more real than the day-to-day experiences on the deep level of work done in consciousness. Thusly, when you receive catalyst that seems to take your power away from you, to drain you, or seems to hurt the feelings, the first process, then, has nothing to do with any other person but, rather, has to do with working with the self to reestablish the feeling of wholeness of self that, in a metaphysical sense, implies safety. Sometimes there is fear connected with such a difficult relationship exchange. Sometimes there is anger, but whatever the emotions are, the experience of being out of control and left to twist in the wind, shall we say, without any power, is that which needs to be looked at carefully. Think about the exchange that has taken place and, in the privacy of your own time, ask for the forgiveness that lies within you to come to aid you. You are a powerful being. Within you lie conduits that move deeper and deeper in mind until you eventually merge with the one infinite Creator. Nothing outside of you can destroy this wholeness. However, depending upon the circumstances, a difficult experience with another entity can make you feel like you are no longer whole, entire, intact, or safe.

Thusly, the first work of the seeker is to reestablish the wholeness and integrity of the self. This instrument earlier suggested to one who was expressing the feeling of being drained that the physical motion of the scissors cutting be made over the energy center from which this sensation of being drained was being felt. We find this a perfectly sound suggestion because the work actually being done is being done in the metaphysical universe as opposed to the physical. You are not making motions in the air in the physical to any use. Rather, you are expressing an intention or desire in the metaphysical world, and in this universe thoughts are things and a thought pair of scissors will cut the thoughts of another who wishes to exchange energy in the sense of attempting to control or take the power of you. Thusly, once you have reestablished the integrity of your finer bodies you can begin to heal from this unwise exchange of energy.

The energy of forgiveness is one which is infinitely strong and yet very subtle. Sometimes it is difficult to pin down precisely whom you wish to forgive first. Are you upset with this other entity who has caused you seeming discomfort? Or are you more upset with yourself for being vulnerable to such unwise energy exchanges? If necessary, sit with this question in meditation, and simply await a sense or a feeling of whom to forgive first. For both yourself and the other are involved in this exchange. Both are individuals, holy in their own right. The deeper truth of both beings is Love. Once you are able to establish whom you need to forgive first then it is left for you to accomplish this by intention.

May we say that it is often not possible to forgive completely at the time that you would wish that all be forgiven. There are times when the disharmony within an energy center is such that such energy gets jammed and will not, shall we say, go through, much as a telephone call will not go through if the line is busy. Again, this may take time for you to work with. It is easier for you to forgive the other very often, than it is to forgive the self. It seems always that the seeker is disappointed with the self for having any problem whatsoever. It is easy to forget that the reason for incarnation, the reason for entering into a body, and entering the veil of forgetting as you do, is so that you will be confused and puzzled and have many uncomfortable experiences and undergo much suffering. This is difficult to remember when one is uncomfortable. And yet it remains true.

Then Q’uo said that the green ray healing energies of the heart, the blue ray energies of clear communication of the throat, and the indigo ray energies of work in consciousness are not usually used in resolving difficulties with others, but they are our metaphysical signatures and can be helpful in any situation. Q’uo went on to say that what we hope and dream are more powerful than anything that happens to us in the day-to-day experiences, and when we experience difficult catalyst that seems to take our power away, the first thing that we need to do is to work with ourselves to reestablish our feeling of wholeness by going within ourselves to activate that feeling of forgiveness that can aid us because we are powerful beings that are connected to our deep mind and with the one infinite Creator, and nothing outside of us can destroy this wholeness. Q’uo continued by saying that Carla’s use of a pair of scissors to symbolically cut the connection to the difficult energy exchange with another person at the center affected was a metaphysical action that would reestablish the integrity of our finer bodies, and then they suggested that we should determine if we should forgive ourself or the other person first by meditating until we have found the answer. Q’uo said that often it is not as easy to forgive ourselves as it is to forgive another person because we are disappointed with ourself for having any problem, and it is so easy to forget that the reason for our incarnation and for going through the veil of forgetting is so that we will be confused and experience much suffering. On January 3, 1999, Q’uo spoke of the difficulty we have of forgiving ourselves:

We do not have the ability to be confused and in that confusion to call upon faith. Nor have we the ability to be angry with ourselves and then to forgive ourselves. For, as we are able to see into the roots of mind, we can see that in each system of illusions there are limitations which are set for a reason, and that that reason is condign, helpful, and enlightening. Upon the Earth plane you have the ability to be utterly dashed, completely confused, thrown to your knees by life, and you have the capacity to tune your responses to that catalyst which brings you down, which makes you feel into the dark side of your personality.

Do not be beaten about by your own feelings of guilt. But, rather, see them as opportunities to do work in consciousness, to forgive the self for being human, to analyze the situation to see whether or not the guilt is productive, to work upon releasing that guilt if it has not been productive, to work upon using that guilt in the highest and best way if there still is something that one can see to be done. Above all these considerations, above all manifestation and illusion the reality, as far as we know, is the perfect outworking of perfection: Love reflected in Love, moving through each instrument that is a soul of a person and out into the world. As you receive your catalyst, bless it and break yourself open to receive it with the most love of which you are capable in a stable manner. Do not move yourself beyond that which you can do without damage to yourself. Do not ask that which you are not ready for of yourself, but rather be sensitive to the opportunities that these negative feelings, so called, of guilt bring rise to.

Once this process of forgiveness has been carried through to what you may feel satisfied with as an outcome, then it is time to begin to look to your systems of energies to see if they are, indeed, in balance. For the preparation for meeting the moment with an open heart does involve coming to a position within your energies wherein you feel relatively unblocked and able to allow the infinite energy of the one Creator to easily move through the system of energy centers traveling upwards into and then through all of the energy centers and then back out into the creation.

We took the time to go through these energy centers and to look at some of the, shall we say, high points of each center because this is a system which you can work with in many different ways. It helps to know how you are made. Any mechanism which is having difficulties remains broken until someone who knows how it is supposed to work can take it and work on it. Your metaphysical beings are such creatures. They do have a rhyme and a reason. They can, indeed, be drained of energy, and there are things that you can do to mend those broken places, but until you grasp how your energy works it is not so easy to sit down and begin to do the repairs. When you have gone through the processes of balancing and forgiveness then you are once again at peace and at rest, feeling relatively safe in your own skin.

However, you remain vulnerable, and this vulnerability is very, very important. It is central to the Earth experience. We would like to frame this vulnerability in a more positive way, for each of you before incarnation was extremely eager to come into the Earth plane and to offer the life experience as a service and gift to the one infinite Creator. From a position before the dropping of the veil of forgetting you could see that you had an opportunity in the darkness of the Earth plane to live by faith. You knew that a life in faith outside of incarnation was very easy to achieve because you, like all other entities not in incarnation, were totally aware of the plan of the one infinite Creator, of the beauty of that plan, of the goodness of the adventure of attempting in a world where it was not at all obvious that Love abides, that it would help your polarity tremendously to come into this darkness and to express a life lived in faith. It looked easier, by far, before incarnation than it does now. We are sure that this is an understatement for each of you. It does not look easy at all from within incarnation to deal with difficult people and situations, challenges that seem to rob you of energy.

However, all of these difficulties, all of these ways of moving beyond your ability to cope, are moments of great opportunity. For when you are beyond your ability to cope you still have one choice to make: despair or hope, giving up or digging in. Saying, “I’m finished,” or saying, “I have just begun.” You are entities of great power. Again and again, your outer experience will seem to rob you of that power. Again and again, there will be the level upon which this is accurate. There will be the level at which you have lost power and underlying this level of apparent experience is a faculty called faith. It lies like a floor that you must believe is there before you can feel it under foot. It is in times when you are helpless and hopeless and at the end of your human strength that faith will help you soar and fly far above all restraints and limitations. Faith is something that picked up weighs nothing but planted yields everything. It is in the air about you. It is in the heart within you. It is in the remembering of the mind that is disciplined to reject hopelessness, so you have good work to do when catalyst overcomes you.

Feel those feelings of helplessness, anger, grief, pain, and puzzlement. Allow all of those strong emotions to wash through you, for they are cleansing to you. Moan and cry if you need to in the privacy of your own chambers. Do what you need to do to validate this experience that you are having. Don’t say that it doesn’t matter, because it does. These energies that you are experiencing as being drained are very real. But also move onto the next process. Invoke faith, forgiveness, and faith again. Surround and permeate yourself with faith.

The one known as Jesus the Christ wished with all Its heart, all Its soul, all of Its strength, and all of Its mind to take upon Itself as It died the death of every other being in the creation. The difficulty with your doing the same thing is very simple. Is this your time to go to Jerusalem? Is this the time for you to be completely sacrificial of yourself? Do you feel that you will be of more help by being vanquished by this unwise exchange of energy, or do you feel that it would be of more service to the infinite Creator and the world in which you live for you to mend yourself, to re-establish your health, speaking metaphysically, and then to move on to further learning within this incarnation? This instrument, may we say, has at times been the martyr, offering the self in unwise energy exchange and not realizing that this was unwise. Each of you has had the temptation to be the martyr, to give of the self beyond all possible healing, until there is nothing left. You may be Christ-like. We do not say this is a poor choice. We only say consider well if you wish to remain bankrupt or if you wish to restore your own integrity.

We would suggest that, most of the time, skill lies in protecting and defending the self, metaphysically speaking, so it can repair its energy loss and again stand upon its own two feet, metaphysically speaking, ready once again to offer all, to love all, to serve, and hold to high ideals as best as it can. New catalyst will come and new challenges, in each and every day. But you are a powerful entity. You can and you will learn more and more skill and take more and more courage, for each time that you go through the balancing, the forgiving, and the re-determining to live a life in faith, you open to yourself more of the power that lies in potential within you. You do not need to remain a victim. You may have relationship into which these periods of unwise energy exchange will come again and again. These are the relationships in the school of Earth that you prepared for yourself. You felt that you had plenty of ability to deal with these challenging personalities. You felt that you wanted to look in the mirror at these qualities within yourself projected onto others. When you are at your lowest, remember who you are. Remember the confidence you felt in yourself and then move into the ways of faith.

Then Q’uo said that once we have forgiven ourselves and unblocked the energies in our lower chakras, then we are ready to meet the moment with an open heart and allow the infinite energy of the one Creator to move up through our chakras and out into the universe. Q’uo went on to say that our metaphysical beings have a certain way of functioning, and they can be drained of energy, but until we know how our energy works it is not so easy to do the repairs, so when we have gone through the processes of balancing and forgiveness then we are once again at peace, feeling relatively safe in our own skin. Q’uo went on to say that we will remain vulnerable, and this is an important experience because before incarnating we were eager to serve the Creator by going through the veil of forgetting and  developing the ability to live in the darkness of the Earth because before incarnating we could see the perfection of the plan to live by faith and live in a world where it was not obvious that Love abides, and that it would help our polarity to come into this darkness and to express a life lived in faith. Then Q’uo said that these difficulties are an opportunity for us to make the choice of hope or despair, of giving up or getting up and trying again because we are beings of great power that our outer experiences of difficulty seem to take from us for a period of time, but on the basic level of our being is the faith that that we must believe is there before we can stand upon it and rise above all limitations, so we should invoke faith and forgiveness and surround ourself with faith. Q’uo said that we have a choice to make regarding whether we feel that we will be of more service by being depleted by this unwise exchange of energy, or can we be of more service to the infinite Creator and the world around us by healing ourself metaphysically, and then to move on to further learning within this incarnation. Q’uo completed their response by saying that these periods of unwise energy exchange will come again as they are the relationships in the school of Earth that we chose for ourself because we felt that we could deal with these challenging personalities, and we felt that we wanted to look in the mirror at these qualities within ourself that were projected onto others, so when we are feeling despair we should remember who we are and then move into the ways of faith. On September 20, 1998, Q’uo spoke about the ways of faith:

It is this sense of the infinite riches within that we would like to share with you as we encourage you to cooperate with your destiny, to recognize that it is well to move from the safety of intellectual and rational thought to the illogical and foolish ways of faith, and knowing that all is well, and all shall be well. There are so many mottos about taking it one day at a time that we can hardly speak about that concept without trivializing our conversation. And yet one great key in living in faith is taking it as it comes. This instrument has a friend that likes to imagine the worst: “What would I do if the worst possible scenario occurred?” This friend causes itself many worries. We would encourage you that when you have that craving for surety, to think upon the fool in mid-air who does not look down, who chooses, illogical though it may be, to trust.

At this time we would transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We thank this instrument and leave it in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves to speak to any further queries which those present may have for us.

T: I understand the need for polarity. To experience one, you have to have the other. Most of my days are very positive, but now and then I have one where I feel very negative about everything. As one becomes more positive does the need for the negative experience lessen, and when you have a number of positive experiences does that mean you need more negative to remind you where you are?

I am Q’uo, and we believe that we grasp your query, my brother. We would not suggest that there is a general rule for all entities, for the balancing process in which you are now partaking is one which you have been experiencing for some time now, where the outlook for the day, the attitude of the mind, is one which has moved in a, as you would call it, positive direction in which the joy and light of the Creator is more apparent to you because of work you have done upon yourself. On those days in which you experience the negative, the attitude of mind sees much of darkness about you and is the remnant of the prior perceptive abilities. Thus, you will find in your own abilities…

[Tape change.]

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. To continue. There is a momentum that is possible to obtain either with the positive or the negative outlook, for as one feeds the beast, shall we say, so shall it grow. The momentum of the positive outlook for you now has begun to hold sway in a greater extent than in the past and this may be expected to continue.

Is there another question at this time?

T: No. Not at this time. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Does another have a query at this time?

S: Our oldest daughter has very consciously avoided any contact with us. Phone calls go unanswered. My wife is quite concerned that our daughter needs our help or is in need of attention. My meditations tell me that she has done something and is afraid of our disapproval and wants to avoid us. Should we back off? Does she need our help in any way?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. As the daughter has been aided in her leaving of the home environment and has now found a place in the physical world of her own it has the normal response that is to be somewhat divided, shall we say, in appreciation for its new position and in some trepidation for its security. Thus, one may expect that if aid is needed, it shall be requested. However, there is also the possibility that the entity known as the daughter is hoping to create the feelings of fear within the parental entities so that they will rush to an unasked aid or, perhaps, simply worry that their expectations were too high. The young entity must needs exercise its own muscles in order to grow strong. This, we find, is a portion of the philosophy which has put each in the position which each now occupies, and we would recommend that the course be stayed.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: I have been in business for fifteen years and my wife has been in it with me for ten years, and we are contemplating the possible closing of the business and perhaps pursuing other ventures. It’s not so much a spiritual question but a friend-to-friend question of having an opinion as to what we should do. Can you give me one?

I am Q’uo, and though we are aware of your query, my brother, we must respectfully decline to offer a friendly opinion for it would infringe upon your future in a manner which we would not wish to accomplish.

Is there any further query, my brother?

S: I guess I have to ask at least one question a week where you give me that response. Let me think of another one which I can put you on the spot with. It seems that I have had an infected hair on the back of my neck for years. It will sometimes scab up and go away and sometimes it occurs. Can you tell me what is the cause of that?

I am Q’uo. Buy pork bellies. We find that this response also causes this instrument to wonder, but we cannot offer any opinion other than this. Please forgive our shortness of words. We are sure that you understand.

Does any other entity within the circle have a query for us at this time?

R: No question. I just want to thank you and the other entities of the Confederation for joining our circle today.

M: I want to express my sincere appreciation as well.

T: I, too, want to thank you for speaking to us.

I am Q’uo, and we thank each of you for your gratitude. It is an attitude which is most helpful in this circle of seeking. May we ask if there is another query at this time?

Carla: If you had one thought that you would like to leave us with, what would it be—in regard to all that we have been talking about today?

I am Q’uo, and we are grateful for your query as well, my sister. We are not usually those who are quick to give a thought for the day, but we are aware of the concerns shared within this circle of seeking on this particular day. There has been much opening of the heart in true concern for the way in which the life pattern has unfolded for each in the recent of your past. We find that each is concerned that the correct approach, attitude, and steps have been taken, that the best that each has to offer has, indeed, been offered. And we would recommend to each our thought for this day that the worries of each be released, that the concern which each feels for one another, for the self, for loved ones, for any situation in which each moves, that the proper attention has been given, for each is a sincere seeker of truth and offers that which is in one at each moment and at each turn in the daily round of activities. That there is any question here we understand for each of you within the illusion, for you move within the darkness of not knowing the complete connection of all things within the one creation. However, from our point of view we can assure each of you that each is moving in the appropriate direction, accepting that which must be accepted, and moving on as best you can. And the burden of your experience seems heavy upon your shoulders. The worries that propel you to take one step or another are yet another heavy weight that each could well do without, for there is no mistake that love cannot make whole. There is no missed step that cannot be corrected with compassion. Understanding will heal many wounds, my friends, especially those that are self-inflicted.

We would encourage each to move forward in joy, in love, in light, and in appreciation and exuberance for the life which each now shares upon your whirling ball of Earth. The one Creator is strong in each and is most pleased with that which you have accomplished. You cannot displease the one Creator, for all experiences, both those which you call negative and those which you call positive, are the food of life for the one Creator that wished to know the length, the breadth, the limits of Love, if there are limits to Love. What can Love heal? How far can Love move? How powerful is the Love that made the one creation? Each of you tests these questions and many more within the daily round of activities and thus far no one has exceeded the bounds of what Love can heal. Rest, then, in peace and in Love and in Light, my friends, for each of you is doing most well in the difficult journey of seeking the truth within the third-density illusion.

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

This morning I recorded the section on Proactive Thinking from Chapter Six of 102. Then I ran some errands with my first stop being at Walmart to pick up some Pepsi Zero. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at the vet’s to pick up some meds for Bosco.

This afternoon I recorded the section on Strengthening Our Response To The Principles Of Individual Liberty from Chapter Six of 102. Then I took some bird seed to my neighbor across the street and filled her bird feeder with it.

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

November 26

Claim Your Good

I am of the principle and Spirit of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you with the full consciousness of Love.

Today I ask you to take hold of your divine good.

There are many situations which do not appear to hold divine good. Yet appearances can be deceiving. The cry of the child seems full of misfortune. Yet there is the divine good of the cry answered—the nurturing mother who comes and holds the little one to give it comfort and nourishment.

So, too, be not afraid to speak up, to reach out, to know that your good is before you, to ask for it, and if you see it not, to ask again. Many are the times that that good is half-hidden or perhaps completely obscured by other things which may not be of divinity, but petty, inconsequential and of the moment. Those things that are not of divinity to you, pass them by and claim your good.

For that which is divine is there for you, just as that which is not. That which is everyday is also before you. Look always for that which is of divine consciousness. Claim your good. Know divine love. And in all ways that you may be able this day, express the consciousness of love that gave you the faith to look for and claim your divine love and good.

We leave you in this consciousness which cannot be understood but only experienced, the consciousness of the Love of Jesus the Christ.

The consciousness of His healing peace be with you, 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 February 20, 2000:

The question this week has to do with the concept of guides. We are wondering what is the best way for anyone who wants to get in touch with his or her guide to do that? And we are also wondering, if we are trying to get in touch with our guides and looking at our guides as something outside of ourselves, does that influence or affect our ability to get in touch with our guides? And if we are able to get in touch with our guides, does that add a responsibility to our life pattern?

(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. It is a blessing and a privilege to be called to you this afternoon. We wish to thank each of you for joining this circle of seeking and for calling us to your group. It is a great blessing for us to be able to share our opinions and thoughts and you greatly serve us by enabling us to offer our service, for this is the way that we are attempting to be of service at this time. As always, we would ask that you consider each of our thoughts to see if they resonate with your own needs, for we are not those in authority but, rather, your brothers and sisters who walk the same dusty path and make many mistakes. Thusly, take what is useful to you from what we say and leave the rest. We suggest that you do this with all sources of information. For truly, your inner discrimination will be that which resonates to what is right for you, which brings us to your requested topic, that of connecting with your guidance. For guidance is always available and there are many ways in which one may frame the search for becoming more and more skillful at the using of it.

To put this question in context we would like to talk about the worldly versus the metaphysical universe. The dilemma of those who wish to live their lives from a metaphysical point of view is that this metaphysical universe is not the universe in which consensus reality, or the physical reality you experience day by day, takes place. The concerns of the outer world can absorb all of one’s time and attention. And, indeed, many there are upon your sphere who manage to move from birth to the end of an entire incarnation without even once suspecting that there is another universe which interpenetrates the physical universe whose laws are of a higher order than those of the physical universe. However, for most people there are at least one or two times during an incarnation when it is brought clearly to one’s attention that there is a higher order of reality and that it sometimes affects physical reality.

For those who are gathered today there is a complete awareness of and a desire and yearning for that second universe of higher truth. Further, the body which carries you about contains what this instrument has called a biocomputer, the earthly brain, the choice-maker brain, that is built specifically to deal with the either/or questions of survival, protection of home and family, and the other concerns of the earthly life. The guidance system for the earthly brain is difficult to describe in earthly terms, but the word, intuition, surely covers it. However, for those who wish to become serious students, who have begun their path of wandering, their seeking for a true home, this either/or mentality does not satisfy for the simple reason that it cannot satisfy the needs of the metaphysical universe. However, each of you is also, and predominantly, a consciousness, an unique entity made wholly of Love and Light which goes through many physical vehicles in many densities and through many experiences within each density. This consciousness which is you can dip into the earthly universe, the physical world, by virtue of being wedded through the incarnational birthing process to a second-density physical vehicle; that is, your body. This consciousness, being a citizen of eternity, being infinite in nature, is completely adapted to doing work in the metaphysical universe. And each of you has, lying in potential within you, or should we say, within your consciousness, all of the guidance and information that you need. The challenge, of course, is how to gain access to that guidance, for however framed in conceptual structure, that guidance is a denizen of the deep mind, the roots of consciousness. And the door from the deep unconscious self to the conscious self must needs be opened or set ajar in some way in order for guidance to move into the conscious realm and become available in order that you may have access to it.

It is well to remember that guidance is definitely and always there, even when you are at the most seemingly far reach from it, even when you feel most blind, deaf, and dumb. The guidance is there. The guidance is awaiting for your awareness. It is a matter of unblocking the channels of communication rather than searching for something that may or may not be there. We say this because in order to access guidance it is extremely helpful to be practicing a life in faith. Wedo not wish to imply a certain structure to a life in faith but rather wish to look at this quality of love that is faith. Faith is a paradox, for one cannot gain faith. One simply must leap into behaving as if one had faith in order to begin a life in faith. Thusly, the first act of faith is the leap into nothingness. Faith, after all, would not be faith if there were a way to rationalize it or prove that it existed by any reasonable inquiry. This makes faith a real challenge, for if you have not faith, then how do you achieve it?

That leap looks very foolish and feels very dangerous. And, yet, we say to you that if you can hold the essence of faith which is that all is well, and that all will be well, if you can hold to this attitude, that faith will grow, and flourish and bloom in amazing ways. And if you become overwhelmed with a lack of faith you have but to start over to take that leap again, and the journey accelerates once more. There is never a failure that faith will not be recovered from. There is never a desert that is too wide for faith to cross.

In faith, then, when you wish to seek guidance, you may approach this search in various ways. This instrument, for instance, allows guidance to come to her by praying to the Holy Spirit. This guide, which she thinks of as an aspect of her higher self, and which she objectifies as a portion of the Creator, is a projection of that essence within the deep mind that can be called guidance. Therefore, to this entity does not come a conversation but, rather, a feeling, an intuition, a sense of rightness. For this instrument this degree of clarity is completely sufficient and satisfactory. For many others there is a need to objectify guidance in persons and, thusly, many entities seek their guidance in the form of guides. Again, all that there is, is one, and in many ways and on the deeper levels all that is outside of the physical being is a projected portion of that physical being. If all things are one, then all that an entity sees is part of that entity and, in one sense, a projection of that entity. Each of you, you see, lives in a complete and unique universe, a creation of your own. It is slightly different but definitely different from that universe of each and every other spark of the infinite Creator that has been sent forth. As this instrument was saying earlier, there are non-religious ways to set about discovering more about the guides that bless the entity with love and the desire to be of help in a spiritual or metaphysical sense.

These projections of the self that are guides are also entities with their own identities, their own histories, and, to some degree, their own agendas. Some entities feel that they have one major guide, and it is to this one entity that the self goes. Indeed, some have objectified this guide to a great extent. Each of you has seen examples of channeling from inner guides that various sources offer, and each is familiar with the concept of getting in touch with the guide. The project, shall we say, of reaching to discover information is best approached within a framework of a daily rule of life that includes a period of meditation during each day. The mind in the earthly sense has that tendency to continue working whether or not there is prominent stimulation from the outer world and, thusly, the inner world can be the world of one listening to a chatterbox.

The question for this session was: “The question this week has to do with the concept of guides. We are wondering what is the best way for anyone who wants to get in touch with his or her guide to do that? And we are also wondering, if we are trying to get in touch with our guides and looking at our guides as something outside of ourselves, does that influence or affect our ability to get in touch with our guides? And if we are able to get in touch with our guides, does that add a responsibility to our life pattern?“ Q’uo began by saying that guidance is always available, and they wanted to put this into perspective by saying that there is the physical universe of consensus reality which tends to take up most of an entity’s time, and there is the metaphysical universe which interpenetrates the physical universe whose laws are of a higher order than those of the physical universe, and most people never discover the metaphysical universe although there may be a couple of opportunities in their life to perceive a higher order of reality. Q’uo went on to say that the body which carries us around contains a biocomputer, our earthly brain, which is our choice maker brain, that deals with the questions of survival, protection of home and family, and the other concerns of the earthly life. They said that the guidance system for our earthly brain is difficult to describe, but the word, intuition, is a good description for it, and for the awakened spiritual seeker the either/or mentality does not satisfy the seeker because it cannot satisfy the needs of the metaphysical universe.  Q’uo continued by saying that our consciousness moves into the physical world by being connected to a second-density body, and our consciousness is a citizen of eternity and is completely adapted to doing work in the metaphysical universe. They also said that our consciousness has all the guidance that we need, but we must be able to consciously open the door to our deep mind in order to gain access to our guidance, and we can do this by practicing a life lived in faith and leaping into nothingness. Q’uo continued by saying that we can do this by remembering that all is well, and that all will be well, and if we can maintain this attitude, that faith will grow and bloom in amazing ways, but if we ever feel we have failed, we should take that leap again because there is never a failure that faith will not help us recover from. Then Q’uo said in using faith that there are a number of ways that we can seek guidance such as praying to the Holy Spirit which is a portion of the Creator that rests within our deep mind, and then Q’uo said that we may also objectify our guidance as being a certain kind of guide that has its own identity which we may contact in daily meditation where we may hear our guidance in words. On December 15, 1996, Q’uo described how we might become aware of our guidance:

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The desire upon your part to be guided in the seeking of Love, and the service to others, and the growth of the self is all that is required for such guidance to be received. To become aware, consciously aware, of the guidance is yet another task. For one may move throughout the entire incarnation with the faith that guidance will be received and indeed shall be correct and shall be guided without perhaps ever becoming aware of exactly how the guidance worked. For those who wish to be more closely aware of such guidance it is well to pick a manner of receiving. Some are able to perceive thought concepts such as those which we transmit through these instruments. Some are able to perceive concepts through writing within their own journal where they are able to give over the control of the manuscript. Others are able to utilize implements such as the pendulum and work in this way to become aware of guidance. Others may utilize the tarot deck of cards containing images and meanings, energies, and directions. Others may find more personally tailored manners in which they can become aware of guidance, each technique dependent upon each seeker’s personal preferences and talents, whether they be through some endeavor which will allow a certain kind of feeling to be transmitted, perhaps through music, movement, or some game of chance, shall we say, the falling of cards, the ball through the basket, the technique dependent upon the individual’s selection firstly, and secondly and most importantly upon the individual’s continued utilization of this technique on a regular basis so that a channel is set up that may be utilized again and again.

Many are the conversations entities such as this instrument have with themselves, all in the imagination. And this energy generally moves according to the laws of inertia. It simply keeps going because that is what the mental biocomputer does. It runs. It operates. It is noisy. The idea, then, is to empty out the mental pockets and allow the earthly biocomputer to have a rest so that the consciousness may float free of the either/or demands of the earthly mind. Without the regular, habitual and persistent use of meditation it is very difficult to learn to stop the mind from running. And when the mind is running the deeper guidance is very difficult to contact.

Thusly, in order to prepare the ground for connecting with guidance it is a very skillful idea to place the self in the act of meditation. This is a tremendous commitment, and it is a life-changer. This entity, for instance, is fond of saying that she does not meditate well. What she means is that she cannot completely shut off her earthly brain. Bits of conversations and music continue to filter through all efforts to shut down the noise of the mind. However true, this objective concept of the self as not being good at meditating is, this instrument would be the first to express the powerful work that meditation on a daily basis has wrought in her life experience. And indeed, any entity who has meditated for any length of time is aware that even a little of this silence of mind is a powerful accelerant of the process of spiritual transformation.

We would strongly recommend, therefore, that any who wish to connect with their guides do this in the context of daily meditational periods. Remember that although each of you came into incarnation fully aware of all of this that we are saying, during the birthing process the veil of forgetting dropped neatly and usually completely over the consciousness so that within the incarnation the path back to the metaphysical universe must be retraced step by step, and, in addition to the general confusion of the Earth plane, much must be unlearned from the standpoint of the metaphysical universe that is included in the cultural training of young entities. Many are those who have said that adulthood is that period wherein one attempts to undo the damage sustained during childhood. Much needs to be unlearned as the view shifts from the earthly and physical to the non-earthly and metaphysical. In one universe there are things, tables, people, planets, stars. In the other universe there are energies, thoughts, ideals, and as a metaphysical entity you are one who is, as opposed to the physical entity which is one who does.

Guidance is that connection between the metaphysical and physical universes which translates complex information concerning destiny and desire into earthly terms which steps down the energy of the cosmos so that the self within incarnation can accept energy, and intuition, and essence, and open the mind to the translation that guidance will make of these things in offering them to the conscious mind.

The one known as R wondered if it would matter as to how one framed the request for this guidance and we may say that, indeed, this is so. If one frames the search for advice and wisdom as a search for guides, then it is very likely that entities, as opposed to energies, will be contacted. We may say that it is very difficult to express the nature of these essences and energies that are guides and guidance. Take, for instance, that of angels. Angels are another way of describing inner plane guides. When entities over a long period of time think along the same patterns and constructions of thought there is created by such thought the reality that such thought embodies. Thoughts become things and guidance becomes angelic. And it becomes true that for each entity there are several angels.

If we were to go through each culture and its religious beliefs, we would find the channels and pathways by which that body of entities that believed in that wise perceived their guidance to be housed or contained within. And, thus, you have fairies and genies, and inner planes masters, and so forth. There are as many different ways to contact guides and guidance as there have been groups of people, or entities by themselves, who were seeking in a certain way with certain needs. What you may depend upon is that you fashioned for yourself, before incarnation, triggers whose nature would depend upon your appreciation and your awareness of the guidance that you need. As you seek for your guidance you need to follow that intuition that you have within you and those feelings that come from the heart. For it is the wisdom of the heart which often expresses through emotion only, that is the kind of beast, as this instrument would say, that guidance truly is. It is not an intellectual source. Guidance is not heavy on logic. Guidance can be paradoxical and, in many ways, can offer varying views on the same subject. What guidance is, as we said, is connections made within the self that enables the content of the deep mind to be moved close enough to the conscious mind that a translation of concepts into words and thoughts may take place. So, what you are doing is asking the self to release the physical universe from consciousness and to move down into the roots of mind. Meditation is the specific way that we would suggest that this movement down into the roots of mind be approached.

Then Q’uo said that in order to receive guidance from our deeper mind we need to use meditation to stop the running of the imagination of the earthy mind, and if we can meditate on a daily basis, we can be transformed in many ways on our spiritual journey such as being able to contact our guides. Q’uo went on to say that after we have been born into our incarnations that the veil of forgetting requires us to retrace our steps back to the metaphysical universe by undoing the damage that we incurred during the enculturation process when we were children and taught how to live in the physical universe where there are things like tables, people, and planets and the physical entity who does, whereas in the metaphysical universe there are energies, thoughts, and ideals, and as a metaphysical entity we are one who is. Then Q’uo said that: ’’Guidance is that connection between the metaphysical and physical universes which translates complex information concerning destiny and desire into earthly terms which steps down the energy of the cosmos so that the self within incarnation can accept energy, and intuition, and essence, and open the mind to the translation that guidance will make of these things in offering them to the conscious mind.” Q’uo went on to say that it would make a difference in how one asked for guidance as to how that guidance would manifest, and they said asking for advice or wisdom would be responded to by entities rather than energies such as angels or inner plane guides. Then Q’uo said that various cultures and religions have developed ways of belief that would be able to contact what we know as fairies, genies, and inner planes masters, and there were as many forms of ways to contact this guidance as there were groups or people. Then Q’uo said that each of us has, before our incarnation, created a means by which we may receive information from our guidance, so we need to pay attention to our intuition and the feelings in our heart to obtain guidance that relies on emotions rather than intellect as the means of bringing our conscious mind in closer contact with our deep mind where concepts can be translated into words, and Q’uo said that meditation was the way that they recommended that this be done. On April 13, 2024, Q’uo spoke of the nature of contact with the deep mind:

In the deeps of your being is the One Creator that exists as your deep mind and which can confirm to you, and for you, that which you feel is true. This is a question which you ask in order that this deep mind, this fulfilling of Love, the Creator’s Love, then can rise into your conscious mind and speak to you in a manner which we feel you are aware of already.

This is a kind of knowing that the conscious mind frequently questions. For the conscious mind is not totally connected to the perception of the spiritual journey. The conscious mind is often confused and feels a multitude of directions possible as answers to various questions. That is why it is necessary for the spiritual seeker of truth to move deeper beyond the conscious mind to that portion of yourself which knows the answer to each question which you ask.

We feel that you are advanced enough on your own spiritual journey to know the answer to the question that you seek. Especially if you utilize the, we correct this instrument, the technique of meditation which takes you deeper and deeper into your unconscious mind, into the mind of the Creator, where the Creator speaks to you, and gives you those answers which you desire.

Each entity will have a different experience when attempting to create the habit of daily meditation. For some entities it is a procedure that is very easy. Some entities offer to themselves within incarnation the gift of a quiet mind and economical thoughts, and for such entities meditation seems almost a natural way of life. For others, it seems most unnatural and is correspondingly difficult to create as a habit and, yet, we say to you that regardless of the subjective experience while gaining that habit of silence within each day, the progress is being made. It may feel as though one is coming up against a solid brick wall and going nowhere. We assure each that this is not so, that if the time is put in and the desire is true, the meditation periods will do their work, and situations will begin to appear in a more lucid clarity. As the one known as Tom said earlier, it is not that the situation changes. It is that the response to the situation begins to change, which alters the situation, not for any other necessarily, but only for the self. Yet, since all metaphysical work is work on the self, this is a completely satisfactory situation.

We would suggest that it is well to develop one’s personal way of approaching guidance, to put some time and concern in on clarifying to the self what is truly desired, what is truly sought, where the passion and the intensity of one’s life is. For this process of seeking guidance and of listening to that guidance is an important part of accelerating the pace of your spiritual evolution. You will evolve spiritually regardless of what you do. The Creator’s universe is somewhat efficient. Catalyst happens. Experience is gained. You do change. However, each of you is hungry for a faster pace of transformation, a more secure feeling that one is on one’s way, that one is on the path. And certainly, the whole process of meditation and of listening within that silence is central. We wish each of you the joy of finding your desires, of honing and sharpening those desires, and of seeking guidance in the pursuit of that thirst for truth, for Love, for the Creator.

Remember that you may be part of others’ guidance systems, and you may not know it. Remember that when services small or large are done with love they will provide guidance regardless of who else is aware of your actions. When energy is put out it is not ignored, so that even if you do not know that you are guiding and the entity does not know that he is being guided by you, yet still this energy transfer will take place. So, at all times be aware of the ethical considerations involving relationships with others, for you do not know what service you might provide by simply being yourself.

We are with you in the silence. We sit with you in the darkness of the mind. There is Love in that darkness. Know that it is there. Have the faith that your search is a good one, and allow. That is the word that opens the door once the silence is achieved. That word, allow. Allow the intuition to arise. Allow the still, small voice to speak. You will not hear, for it is silent. You can only act upon faith with that feeling of rightness.

Now Q’uo said that the process of entering into meditation is different for everyone, easy for some seekers and difficult for others, but Q’uo assured us that progress is being made if we put in the time and effort, and eventually our experiences will be more lucid with our responses to them being the only thing that changes as all metaphysical work is work done upon our self. Then Q’uo said that we should become aware of the type of information that we are truly seeking from our guidance and be sure that it reflects our passion to accelerate our spiritual evolution. Q’uo continued by saying we will evolve spiritually regardless of what we do because the Creator’s universe is somewhat efficient, but each of us seeks a faster pace of transformation, and meditation and listening within that silence is important, and Q’uo wished each of us the joy of finding our desires and of seeking guidance in the pursuit of that thirst for truth, for Love, for the Creator. Q’uo went on to say that we are very likely a part of each other’s guidance systems in any service to another that we may perform, and they may also be a part of our guidance system but none of us may know that, so we should take care with the proper loving way that we treat each other. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that: “We are with you in the silence. We sit with you in the darkness of the mind. There is Love in that darkness. Know that it is there. Have the faith that your search is a good one, and allow. That is the word that opens the door once the silence is achieved. That word, allow. Allow the intuition to arise. Allow the still, small voice to speak. You will not hear, for it is silent. You can only act upon faith with that feeling of rightness.” On October 29, 1992, Q’uo described how the still, small voice may speak to us:

Consider that you have two intelligences. Your first intelligence and the one which you largely use is the intelligence which came with your physical vehicle. The second intelligence is of another order. You are one of an infinite number of stations, shall we say, that in computer language runs a metaprogram which you would call a primary distortion of the One who is all: infinite Mind or intelligent Infinity. The answers come from essences bathed in this second environment, this mind with its perfect infinity, its absolute awareness. The hitch lies in running the answer back into the first animal intelligence.

There is an excellent connection between the metamind and the individual idiosyncratic mind, which you carry just for this incarnational experience. It, however, is a connection made deep within the roots of the first mind. This lies in the domain you call the subconscious. This connection has been characterized as the still, small voice. And still it is, silent to a profound level. Small it is, if it is evaluated by intellectual standards; for the metaprogramming, shall we say, of Love that is the Logos, is that which enfolds and becomes one with the listener to this blessed, silent communion.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, thanking this instrument and leaving it in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in the love and in the light of the one Creator. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in an attempt to speak to any further queries which those present may have for us. Is there any other query at this time to which we may speak?

T: I have had, for the last three or four weeks, several very strong dreams by spirit guides or guidance, and they are nudging me in a couple of directions. Away from a couple of things and towards a couple of things. I wondered what you could tell me about these dreams.

[Tape change.]

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The experiences of which you speak are the natural function of the subconscious mind as it is working in tandem with the conscious experience due to the intense desire upon your part to know the appropriate steps to take in matters that are of importance to you in relationship with others. When the conscious mind has long sought a direction in which to move and has with an open heart found a kind of vulnerability, shall we say, then the subconscious mind moves through this desire and vulnerability and offers to the conscious mind the images and clues of the dream state. In this state there is the ability to impress upon the conscious mind a tendency, a direction, in which one may appropriately move one’s being. We recommend that this dialogue with your subconscious mind be attended to so that the conversation might be attended to.

Is there another query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you very much.

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

Carla: I often get requests for questions to be asked by people who are not here. Is that a satisfactory thing to do? Or should people have to be here in order to ask questions?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that it is quite acceptable for queries to be asked of us for those who are not able to attend these sessions of working, and we are quite happy to give the best response that is possible without infringing upon free will.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Is there anything that I can do to prepare the mind of the person who is not present and is having a question asked for him that would help you in the answering?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The simple informing of such an entity that we desire to be of true service and that is a service which does not infringe upon free will is all that is necessary in this instance.

Carla: Thank you so much, Q’uo.

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

S: On previous sessions you mentioned that you have talked with this group and with others. Can you discuss some of the other groups that you talk with?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There are few groups such as this one that we actually speak with in the words of your culture. Many such groups are there around this sphere who in their meetings and meditations are inspired in images and what you would call intuition and hunches by those of our group and by those of others within the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator. The channeling process is one which is, though widely used in this culture at this time, one which we are able to pursue in only a few instances, for there is the need for anyone serving as an instrument to proceed in that service in a certain fashion which requires dedication and perseverance.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: Is there any means that we can help you by as you help others? A kind word or encouragement or similar means that we in third density are more able to do that might be of help to your service?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We salute the desire to serve others in whatever way is possible, for in any entity such as yourself and all those gathered in this circle there is a possibility of sharing information and inspiration with those that one meets in the daily round of activities. Indeed, each entity has the opportunity and the potential to serve as a beacon of light, as one who inspires faith and love in other entities. It is said often within your culture, and we find it true, that there is no end of good that a smile can do, for as each entity moves more frenetically in the pace of the culture oftentimes the simplest of courtesies are neglected and when remembered bring a great deal of encouragement to those entities with whom a smile is shared. To speak to another who has experienced a loss of significance, a difficulty in growth, a pain of the physical vehicle, and so forth, is a very helpful thing to do. Wherever there is the seed of love planted then there is a greater possibility of the open heart growing to fruition.

Is there another query at this time?

S: I have read about the planet Niberu which has a 3,600 year orbit in this solar system. Can you tell us how the catalyst from this planet will affect this world?

I am Q’uo, and though we understand that query which you ask, we are unable to speak to this query in any direct sense.

Is there another query at this time?

M: I would like to ask about kundalini energy and how we can grow from that energy and that type of meditation in yoga. Also, what that energy can bring about in our growth.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The experience of the rising of the kundalini energy is one which is most powerful in its onset and requires that the entity which is undergoing this increase in awareness be most balanced, especially in the lower energy centers, that is, the red, the orange, and the yellow. For it is these centers of energy that form the foundation for the movement upward through the rest of the centers of energy. If this experience is undertaken without a proper balance in these centers there is the possibility of the loss of balance in the overall sense for the entity experiencing this growing awareness.

We would recommend that for any entity that is hopeful of igniting that that there be a careful examination of its own lower energy centers so that its ability to handle the increase of energy will be stable and remain so as the energy progresses through each ascending center. This may be undertaken in a daily pattern, shall we say, where the entity retires in meditation at the end of the day, looking at the experiences which have left their mark on the mind for that day and balancing each imbalance with its opposite so that the foundation is securely laid. This may take some of your time, for it is not a quick or easy process but one which takes dedication and repetition.

Is there a further query, my sister?

M: No. Thank you so much.

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

S: Recently I had a period of twenty-four hours where my gums were swollen and infected, and I had to seek medical attention for it. I am still mystified for what the catalyst was for that, and is there a better, more direct way to get my attention?

I am Q’uo, and it is in such a case as this one that we find ourselves unable to move very far with our response, for the experience of which you speak is one which, as you have said, is one which has left you mystified. It is such a mystery that provides you with the opportunity to begin the process of untangling, shall we say, the origin of such pain and suffering. When there is no beginning within the seeker’s mind of the cause of such an experience we find, then, that we must remain mostly silent in order not to infringe upon free will by putting in the mind that which was not already there. However, we might suggest in this instance that you look at the energy center which is located at the point of your pain and begin there with a consideration of words spoken and the value of such.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: No. Thank you.

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

R: No question. Just wanted to thank Q’uo for looking after our free will and for the diligence in attempting to answer our questions, as repetitive as they seem to be.

I am Q’uo, and we are grateful for your words of support, my brother. For we are, indeed, hopeful of being of service with our humble words to this group and are also aware of the difficulties that each experiences in the daily round of activities. It is often a paradox that we observe entities which move with a great desire to be of service and in their desire to serve they stumble across this or that which seems to block the service, then, experiencing the blockage of service, ask all who may hear the cause of the blockage. When one wishes to serve such an entity it is apparently easier to give the answer rather than to withhold it and allow the entity to discover for itself in a manner which will carry true weight within the entity’s total being than to simply experience what is given by another. Thus, the table we set for you is often not completely given with all courses available. For this we apologize, for we are aware that many would rather have a simple and clear response, but in our estimation such is not always a helpful response, for entities learn most powerfully when the learning is from the self, with perhaps a clue or two from another.

Is there another query at this time?

S: To perhaps turn this around, can we answer any questions for you?

I am Q’uo, and this instrument’s mind began to run wild with that one. We shall attempt to rein him in, for he was wanting to know who was going to win the Kentucky Derby. I am Q’uo, and we are without significant query.

Is there a final query for us at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and we again would thank each present for inviting our presence and for putting up with our poor humor. We are always grateful to be able to walk for a moment in the world of your words. We assure you that we always accompany you in an unseen fashion and observe those gallant forays into the murky ways of the catalyst of this illusion that each of you makes each of your days, and we cannot thank you enough for your attempts to share your love and light with those who walk with you. For in this illusion at this time there are many who are in need of such inspiration and such light. None of you knows how great an effect that you have with the sharing of an open heart, a smile, an open hand, a suggestion and the simplest gestures of courtesy within your illusion.

We are those of Q’uo, and would at this time take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I recorded the section on On Another Level, Gaia Meditations from Chapter Six of 102.

This afternoon I recorded the section on Open Communication from Chapter Six of 102. Then I went outside and cleaned the filters for the fountain on the fishpond since the height of the fountain was much lower than normal. As usual, the cleaning of the filters restored the fountain to its normal height.

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

November 25

Yesterday’s Faith

I am a particle of the Love of Christ, the Spirit sent forth to enliven the world which lies in darkness. I greet you in the consciousness of that Love which is powerful enough to banish night.

Yesterday’s faith is not today’s, nor is hope for tomorrow a substitute for the present consciousness of redemption. If you seek to know the consciousness of Love, seek in the here and now, not through memory or through desire for future good. For it is in the present moment that your darkness resides. It is the present darkness over which you have potential power, through the grace of Jesus Christ and through the Love of Love itself.

Know you not that seeking for Light, even in a dark present, can at least crack open the gates of Light? And for that slight, illumined crack of Light, there is no price valuable enough to purchase so dear a thing! For only a little Light, sought for and found, may illuminate all of your present darkness if you can but will it so.

Thus, do not depend upon your faith as if it were a constant thing, for, like food for the body, the nourishment of the soul, being Light, must be taken daily, and, indeed, periodically within each day, that you may replenish the Light within you which comes from another dimension.

From the dimension of peace, we wish you peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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