The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from September 15, 1996:

The question this week has to do with the feeling that we won’t have enough time to do the work that we came to do. When is this work really done in relation to time? What is occurring when we worry? Talk to us about time, worry, and spiritual work.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet each of you in the love and in the light of the infinite Creator. May we thank each for coming to this circle of seeking. We are so grateful to have been called to your meeting and to speak to you on the subject of time and some of the implications that lie in that concept of time. As we speak we ask each to use his own discrimination, for each of you has the power and the wisdom to recognize the truth that is yours. It is as though your truths lie waiting for you to rediscover them and to remember that which is already known. If some of our thoughts have that ring of remembered truth then by all means we offer them to you with a full and happy heart. If we do not hit that mark, then we ask you to simply drop those thoughts and go on.

Talking about time is talking about one of the prime distortions that makes up your illusion. Let us then start with our concept of time and space. Although we cannot be sure of this, it is our opinion that time is a building block that exists in order for the illusion of sequence to offer the Creator’s children a seeming sequence of events, small and large. It is half the basic building block of your perceived consensus reality, the universe as your culture and science knows it. It is as though the Creator took the Logos, which is Love, and paired that great original creative Force with the means to make it into a perceived illusion. The means of this impregnation of Love to create a kinetic universe is Light, the basic unit of Light. The photon, we feel, is combined with one unit of Love to create space and time. It also creates time and space.

Now, the perceived physical creation about you we have labeled space/time, that is space-slash-time, indicating the apparent ascendancy of space over time. That is the illusion in which you dwell during an incarnative experience. There is a universe which this instrument prefers to call the universe of Spirit or the world of Spirit. This metaphysical universe is created of time/space, or time-slash-space, or time over space. Within this creation it is the illusion of time that has the ascendancy, and in this illusion conditions are much different. However, both the physical universe of space/time and the metaphysical universe of time/space are equally illusory and are created for a combining and overarching purpose, and that is, as we said, to create an illusion of sequence. As far as we know the least illusory state is that state in which there is no space or time. This is the truth in which all are rooted, and all are members of that which lies beyond space and time entirely.

However, without the illusion the Creation rests in unity. It does not dream or talk to Itself. Indeed, one might somewhat whimsically call space/time and time/space as the dream of the one infinite Creator, and in this dream the Creator hopes to know Itself. The Creator hopes that each unit of Itself, each being that is Love, which each of you are, will experience those things which add to the knowledge the Creator has of Its nature, for It has generously given Its complete nature to each co-Creator of the universe. To us, to you, to the highest, and to the seemingly lowest of creatures that has an awareness of the self is given one nature and that nature is Love. Through the machinations of time/space and space/time choices are made. Each unit of Love finds itself progressing, finds itself offered any number of actions and thoughts and avenues and directions. And there is no attempt to control the thoughts and reactions of any, for each is treasured as it is. The Creator loves so completely, so utterly, so purely that It loves each and every tiny thought or kind or state of being whatever, including all of those facets of the self which this instrument often calls the dark side of the personality.

Loved as you are there is nowhere to go, nothing to accomplish that can create between you and the Creator any greater approval or any more vehement or intense love. Before any thought of you was visible to the most metaphysical eye, you were already created and loved, for the units that have been sent out to experience and to come back into unity have gone out and come back many, many times and as far as we are aware this is an infinite universe.

Now, what is the nature of this grand illusion, space/time? How can you use it? What is the nature of time/space, and how can you use that? Firstly, we ask each to consider the possibility that the right use of time is first of all the right use of consciousness or attention. Within your culture the weight of importance is generally given to actions undertaken and completed. There is much spiritual encouragement along the lines of “by their fruits you shall know them,” which entities almost always take to mean the fruits of time and attention which are money or projects completed or services offered in love, and surely all of these achievements are excellent and show that stewardship of talents and gifts that is, as far as we know, the right use of those gifts.

However, what this point of view misses is the far deeper importance of the way your consciousness is aligned with respect to the vibration of the one original Thought which is Love. Indeed, you may grade yourself, firstly, on that tuning with which you meet consensus reality moment by moment. To our mind, we cannot conceive of running out of time to do one’s main job because one’s main job is to experience in as clear and undistorted way all of those catalysts which come before you with that vibration which is most essentially yours which is closest to the tuning of Love. This tuning, which one may think of as a constant such as the speed of light—let us say, the speed of Love—is the same for all entities. However, each entity is unique, and so each entity’s path is unique. And each entity’s way of tuning the self moment by moment must be his own and not something taught to a group by rote, each person doing precisely the same as each other. The path to the clearest self-awareness is unique for each seeker.

However, we encourage each when thinking about the right use of time to remember to consider before all else whether the self is tuned to match the vibration of Love. Each feels this constant within, and we would pause for a moment at this time to allow each person to move into the heart, move the attention into that place within that is the metaphysical equivalent of the heart, the green-ray energy center. Here is the seat of Love coming into the created body. Here is that holy of holies where Love dwells fully, undistorted and pure. Moving into this sacred place within, open the heart and feel the Love of the one infinite Creator.

Like the sun lights up the sky, the Creator rests in full strength within you, lighting your way. The key to this door, the key that opens the door into your own sacred heart, is silence, a turning within to listen to the silence. And this habit of turning within, of centering first upon the Creator which is Love, shall stand each in very good stead as each attempts to seek the truth of its own being and its own journey. Thus, one can finish an incarnation and only then realize that one has run out of time for that which one has come to do. Yet that for which one took flesh is available to be done in every living moment.

The group question for this session was: “The question this week has to do with the feeling that we won’t have enough time to do the work that we came to do. When is this work really done in relation to time? What is occurring when we worry? Talk to us about time, worry, and spiritual work.” Q’uo began by saying that the Creator took the Love of the Logos and paired it with Light, or the photon, to create space and time and time and space and the ability to experience the illusion of the sequence of events in the consensus reality. Q’uo continued by saying that the physical universe that we live in is what they call space/time, and the metaphysical universe of the Spirit is called time/space, but both are illusions because the true reality is beyond space and time, and the Creation rests in unity and does not dream or talk to Itself. They went on to say that it could be said that the Creator had a dream—or that infinity became aware–in which It instilled its Love in every living creature in order that It might know Itself through all of the choices that each portion of Itself makes on its spiritual journey which would also include the dark side of the self. Then Q’uo said that this process of having experiences and coming back into unity has occurred many times in an infinite universe where the important thing is the right use of consciousness in the use of catalyst within the consensus reality to make choices that reflect one’s tuning to the nature of Love in a way that is unique for each entity. Q’uo recommended that each entity should see the right use of time as the tuning of the self to the vibration of Love by moving into the open heart where Love dwells fully and to feel the Love of the one infinite Creator. They said that the key to opening the door of the heart is silence where one may seek the truth of its being and its spiritual journey. On November 13, 1994, Q’uo spoke about the value of the right use of time:

You see, beyond any logical, linear plan for improving the flow of events lies a simple attitude that contains more wisdom than all learning placed together. That wisdom is a point of view which includes as its primary relationship a real, living, conversational relationship with the one infinite Creator. The key phrase that addresses the whole array of questions concerning right use of time, energy, and talent is that which the teacher known to you as Jesus stated: “Not my will, but Thine.” You see, you and your consciousness are as the tip of a great iceberg. Your self, that profound and illimitable self that you truly are, has only a small amount of selfhood showing. That selfhood is wrapped within your personality, or your ego, if you will. It is not supposed to show, for indeed that true self is to you a goal towards which you strive in consciousness, for when your consciousness is awakened fully, then you shall see that you have held the truth safely within your deep mind all of your existence. Moreover, this silent wisdom, that spark of Love within, moves into and transforms pain, suffering, misunderstanding and each and every negative emotion.

We would greet the one known as O, as he squeaks happily and high, and assure this smallest of our circle that we rejoice with him.

Moving from that place within which contains truth, which contains love, one may begin to feel an energy—which has nothing to do with how much sleep one has gotten, or how healthy the physical body seems—beginning to enhance and energize not the body but the spirit which moves the body about. Each may find this a very present helper as she goes upon her way. This aid will enable each to know, recognize, and acknowledge those gifts which have been given to each, for each has come with at least three things, at least, to do: to experience, to learn personally, and to use one’s gifts in service to each other, for in serving each other you serve the one infinite Creator.

We ask each to see each other as the hands, the voice, and the face of the Creator. The Creator cannot smile upon any nor reach a hand to any, nor feed nor clothe any. The Creator’s voice, hands, and actions are yours. You represent and give meaning to Love by your service to the Creator within those with whom you share your fragile island in space. It does not matter whether these services are small or great or considered important or unimportant by any society or way of thinking whatever. What matters is that you are attempting to open the heart, are attempting to use your gifts, and are attempting to make what sense you can of your experience. These are your basic commitments in incarnation. These you may do minute by minute and day by day, and to the world you may be doing nothing useful. But each who has come within the glow of your smile, or the friendliness and cheer of an open handshake or hug, knows that more is going on than just passing the time.

When entities attempt to think of time as a value, inevitably they become completely frustrated. The reason for this is that time is illusory. It is tied into space as space is tied into time to create the illusion that something is happening, that there is a past and a future. In actuality, it is our understanding that we are all without space and time, without separation. All is occurring within this one instant that ever has or ever will occur. It is one whole. It is Love. Through the illusion of time Love is articulated and mirrored back to its Source, and this is deeply, deeply satisfying to the infinite Creator.

So when you think of how you spend your time release yourself from the judgments of those who have strictures of what constitutes service and love, for by the way your being meets the world that it perceives through its senses each of you is giving the greatest gift of all to the Creator, to each other, and to the planetary vibration, and we feel this is worthy of being emphasized. For as your planet and as the entire solar system of which your planet is a part rotates into a never before entered part of time and space, it is nearing, closer and closer, true fourth-density space/time.

The nature of space/time is beginning to alter. The nature of the way each perceives time and space is slowly altering. Even values that your physicists attempt to understand, subatomic particles and new—we cannot find the word for this instrument, but those things which are newly discovered by your scientists—are various new particles which are part of space/time in fourth density. Your planet is being prepared to enter this environment as are all of the global inhabitants, and at this time we are very pleased to say that much progress has already been made in lightening the planetary consciousness.

Wanderers who come to this planet from other densities have served as beacons of light through song, and art, and government and through all of the little-known and seldom understood ways in which simple vibrations aid the planet. And each of you is as a beacon of light. That light will grow dim or grow bright as you allow the infinite Love that comes from the Creator to all to move freely through the ever-opening heart and out into the world. You cannot love, for your human love will be very limited. There comes a time when the effort must cease and no matter how firm the intention, Love cannot any longer be expressed in a human sense. It is only when one quits trying to be Love and allows Love to come through the self from infinity that one becomes able to withstand that great force and to be able to offer it on a continuing basis.

So, each is encouraged to think of the self as a kind of light house or radio station with the light being brighter or the tuning being higher the more one’s heart is stayed in Love, and is open to Love, and is open for loving. All of these things are yours to give before you rise from your bed to begin the busy day. And no matter what gift you give the world during those daylight hours of commerce and satisfying accomplishment, that which is the deepest service shall always be your vibration, your signature that we would recognize from any other entity in the creation, no matter in what density or under what circumstances we met you. You are yourself, full of glory and full of a life that is unending.

Then Q’uo said that there was an energy within us that contains truth and love that will energize our spirit to learn and to use our gifts to serve each other, which is also serving the Creator, and we can do this by opening our hearts to be the hands of the Creator and make sense of our lives in each moment as we smile with the glow of Love to those around us. Q’uo went on to say that time is an illusion as all is happening in the present moment, and it is through the illusion of time that Love is perceived and mirrored back to Its Source which gives the Creator great satisfaction, so we should spend our time in any way that feels right as this is a service to the Creator, to others, and to the planet as it and the entire solar system move into the fourth-density vibrations. Then Q’uo said that wanderers have incarnated to become beacons of light and can help to lighten the planet’s vibrations by opening the heart and allowing Love to come through the heart from infinity and to offer it to all on a constant basis. Then Q’uo encouraged us to begin our days by tuning our selves by focusing on Love that will become our unique vibration and the signature of our being which is full of unending life. On June 6, 1982, Q’uo spoke about how we can become beacons of light to aid our planet’s evolution into the fourth density:

The vortex of energy which you now speak of is one which may be taken in many different ways, but which can be seen as the coming of the light, ever brighter, as the fourth-density experience increases upon your planet, and the entities upon its surface obtain greater degrees of harmony and shine this light within their beings, so that indeed, beacons of light begin to appear in various places upon the surface of your planet and light the way for those who still exist within the darkness.

There were concerns about the use of time and the use of energy and what effect worrying would have upon the service that one offers in time, and we can say to each that there is no need to worry about using time poorly. If one worries, if one frets and takes up the time in the mind, then one is vibrating at a certain rate. Perhaps it may be true that worry affects the open heart to some extent, contracting it, holding some of the light within because of over-concern. But this is acceptable. It does not alter the basic vibration.

What alters the basic vibration of any entity are those thoughts that one has and that one moves back into time and time again. Thoughts of “not enough.” Thoughts of “unworthiness.” Thoughts of “fear.” These keep that heart closed. However, when one gazes at whether one who does great things in the world is superior to one who does nothing greater than re-diaper the baby or take care of a pussy cat or simply get through a difficult day without complaint, one finds they are doing completely congruent acts because what is important with any act is the love with which it is done.

The one known to you as Khalil Gibran, in one of this instrument’s favorite quotations said that work is Love made visible. Whether your love is invisible, except when you smile, or whether your love is incredibly visible with a thousand accomplishments, that love is that love and it is that vibration, not the acts which accompany it, that are your true gift to the infinite One.

So, if you worry, by all means get it all out of the closet. Number your worries. Revel in them. Roll in them as Scrooge McDuff in his money piles. Do that which concerns you to do whether it seems foolish or wise, whether it seems useful or useless. Your intuition may sometimes suggest to you odd things. To the extent that they do not interfere with your health or another’s freedom, by all means do those things which you have a hunch which are the right things for you. And worry not about whether you are centered if you are worrying, for truly we say to you that if you are a loving person worrying, then your vibration is very little affected by worrying or by anything else that does not close the heart. Each of you remembers a better way, and we would call that way the way of the open heart. Compassion opens the night and makes it daytime. Seek always, then, to center in Love, to revel and enjoy being loved by the infinite One. And that which your love is to do, those places where your love is to shine, will come too and you will know them.

We would end this instrument’s part of this first larger question with a look at faith which is simply that quality that enables those who cannot see into the metaphysical world to act as though they could. In the metaphysical world which your spirit rests in at this precise moment and at all moments, you are a larger being by far. You have chosen many, many things about your present experience that have deep reasons for being as they are. Faith is a matter of trusting that this experience is on the track that you intended it to be before you came. But you will never receive an objective proof of any of the thoughts that we are sharing because it is essential that each entity within these illusions make the choices that they make without the advantage of knowing that they are right. It is always your free choice to love and serve the infinite Creator and to do it in this way or that.

So, know that you are underpinned, bolstered by a Self that is as sturdy as you are frail and as wise as each of you feels foolish. When one feels secure in one’s moments, when one feels that one is on the track, is in the right place and so forth, then a great weight is lifted off the attention, and one is not nervous or concerned that one has missed the boat. Allow little seeds of faith to grow in your garden of thought. Invoke faith without knowing that it is reasonable to do so. Live as though you had perfect faith, that your destiny will come to you, and all that is for you will simply be attracted to you as it is time for it to appear. Live as though it were true and notice those subjectively interesting hints and suspicions and suggestions and synchronicities that say to you, “Yes, you are on the right track.” Each of you will have various experiences that, for you, grow to be the signal for, “Yes, you have got it right. Yes, this is what you should be doing.” And you will find greater and greater satisfaction in these subjectively interesting coincidences.

Now Q’uo said that occasional worry about the use of time and energy might close the heart momentarily, but it does not change one’s basic vibration. They said that what does change this basic vibration are persistent thoughts of not being enough and being afraid, and these thoughts can close the heart, so they said that what keeps the heart open is simply doing whatever we do with the feeling of love as our gift to the Creator. Then Q’uo said that if we do have worries we should work with them in an open and obvious way and let our intuition guide us in being foolish or wise, without injury to others, and we should do so as a loving person keeping centered in feeling the Love of the Creator as this is the way that we will be able to serve others with our love. Then Q’uo said that faith enables those of us who cannot see into the metaphysical world to act as though we could, and that in the metaphysical world we are a greater being that has chosen our experiences as the destiny of our life and as our means of being of service to the Creator in our own way. Q’uo completed their response by saying that we should live as though we always have the perfect faith that our destiny will manifest for us, and that we are supported by a greater Self that will bring synchronistic experiences into our life that will let us know that we are on the right path and doing what we should be doing. On August 24, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the value of synchronicities:

As you continue on your path, we would encourage you simply to continue to follow the threads that are offered to you in the moment, whether they be treats of the eye, visitations by, shall we say, your totem, or those many synchronicities of number, name and word that one discovers in moving through the normal day-to-day experiences of, as this instrument would say, the street signs, the billboards, and the conversations with strangers as one goes about one’s chores.

We thank this instrument for the services which it has provided and would leave this instrument in love and in light and would transfer to the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. We would ask at this time if there are any other questions from this group that we may speak to?

P: Concerning the change to fourth density on our planet. How is it affecting the lives of the children?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The young entities upon this planetary sphere are those who have by seniority of vibration chosen to enter incarnation at this time of harvest. Thus, these are entities who are old upon this planetary sphere for the most part although there is a great influx of those you have called wanderers. So that those who are taking incarnation at this time are those who are full of the essence of life, shall we say. These entities have come with a full agenda, with much history, with great expectations, with talents both active and latent that will add to the richness, and the variety, and the intensity of experience upon your plane for many of your years to come. These are entities who will seem to many to be of another breed, a different race, as it were, for the energy awareness at their disposal is great and is like the sack of seeds that is ready to be sown by the great Sower. The harvest, indeed, draws nigh, and many are those who shall partake in it.

Is there another query, my sister?

P: What can we do to ease and aid their work? There seems to be a discrepancy between the old mindset of the world and the work that they are to do.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We would recommend that interaction with these entities is most important, that the relationships of the family be emphasized and be supported in all their many expressions of excitement, interest, and dedication. These entities, as each generation notes, seem to be of another order so that the ways of the culture, though providing many foundation stones for the new building, yet do not fit in every instance, so that there is the need for the individuality of each entity to be recognized, nourished and directed with a means of giving praise and thanksgiving to the one Creator in a regular fashion and in a way which gives the young entity a sense of wonder for the immensity and the infinity of all creation. The young entity needs to find his or her place within this infinite creation, and as the family and friends of each young entity provides support, the young entities are able to test their new legs in a safe and supportive environment. Give each entity those values which are most important to you, those means of discipline that show it that there is a way to approach any situation that takes into account the individuality of the entity and the rights of others as well. Make your discipline that which is both loving and firm that the young entity be made aware that it is indeed surrounded by those who care.

Is there a further query, my sister?

P: From my classes I was shown a picture of a race in Egypt with larger craniums and I wondered about their history. Could you comment on them?

I am Q’uo, and we would need more information as to the time and the place of any entities that we would attempt to identify for you.

P: I’m not certain of the time. The place of Egypt and time of the pharaohs at least 6000 years ago. They seem to have a skull about three times larger than ours.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. There are among the Egyptian peoples the interbreeding and intervention of other sources and places of origin that are other than this planetary sphere. Many have referred to these entities as being those who were representing the sun and have made drawings and statues of these entities and passed these records as lore to succeeding generations so that there is a mixture of places of origin for these particular entities of whom you speak. Thus, the folk traditions and historical records are mere remnants of the appearance of these entities amongst the Egyptian peoples a great portion of your time in your past. These entities have been known by various names, the name most similar to this group being that of Ra. However, we again caution that there has been much cultural overshadowing and infusion of sources, shall we say.

Is there another query, my sister?

P: Not at this time. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and again we thank you, my sister. Is there another question?

Carla: Yes, O’B’s friend, R, who has just had had a kidney transplant. Could you give her a special message?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query and the request. We would say to the one known as R that the surgery and transplantation which has been effected is that which is designed to lengthen the span of life in this incarnation, for this entity is yet full of that which is the desire to serve, to know the Creator, and to learn that known as love. We would assure this entity that there is no power upon this planet that can remove it before its time,, and when its time has come, with rejoicing it shall go. It is also appropriate to inform this entity of that about which it is already aware, and that is that there are many upon the inner planes that move in rhythm with this entity, lending assistance where necessary, inspiration where asked and guidance at all times.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you, Q’uo.

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

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group at this time, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning Anna and I synchronized our computers and listened to Carla channel Ra while being able to read the words in Session #49. The topics were the nature and function of the human brain, the kundalini experience, and meditation.

This afternoon I took Bosco to the Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists because he had been throwing up for most of the morning. They ran a number of tests on him, and one problem that they found was pancreatitis and suggested that he stay with them overnight so that more tests could be run to see if there are further problems. So I came back home and got all of his meds, his syringes, and a number of kinds of foods that he likes and took them back to the vet. I hope that they can find whatever problem that caused him to throw up so much, and I look forward to getting him back home tomorrow.

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

September 15

The Desire To Dwell In Love

I am a voice speaking with the full consciousness of Love. I greet you in that Love manifested by Jesus the Christ to all of humankind.

At your prayers and meditations we find you relaxing and resting the body and yet not relaxing and resting the mind. How fretful is the mind of humankind, steeped in everyday concerns!

Can it not be perhaps possible that the mind also might rest, relax, find comfort, and open the doors within in seeking? For those doors reveal Jesus the Christ and those qualities of consciousness which were manifested unto you and may again and always be manifested unto you if there is a pure and profound desire to dwell innerly in Love. These gifts are yours if you can but make room for them. There is no hurry. These gifts are eternal.

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 August 25, 1996:

Most people feel totally overworked and pressed, and we are wondering how we can refill our batteries to do all the work that lies before us. How can we keep our spiritual balance in the world that requires so much worldly things of us?

(Carla channeling)

We are of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We thank each for calling us to this circle of seeking at this time. It is always a delight and privilege to be asked for our humble opinions and especially since it has been some time since we contacted this group. We bless each who comes looking for truth, looking for the path that is that path which is destiny for each. We too pursue our destinies, and as the road ahead is a mystery to you, so it is to us. Just as each of you must live by faith and not by words, so must we. We are your brothers and sisters, not infallible authorities, and as we share our thoughts with you, we ask that each take those concepts which have that ring of personal truth from that which we offer and leave the rest behind. Always use that discrimination that reflects your own faith in yourself, for each knows all that there is to know already. It is simply that the veil of flesh has dropped for each of you. You have, shall we say, signed up for a few moments, a few years, within incarnation. You chose to move into this flesh, this abode, this animal of second density that carries your consciousness about and allows you to have hands that serve and legs that walk upon the dusty road of your illusion.

This instrument once heard a visiting preacher talk about his experience as a missionary in Africa. The story went that this person and his wife, both doctors, had gone to a country in Africa that was very poor, a place in which there was much suffering. A few years after they came to this post the country experienced both drought and an outbreak of disease, and these people worked so long and so hard they did not know how they could go on. Because these doctors were also priests, they decided to get up early and pray, and this they did, taking two more hours from their small allotment of sleep so that they could pray to strengthen their faith, and for them this worked. They became energized and found more than enough power within to move through their days in grace.

Now, this is an extreme example of how the way one lives and gazes upon reality as it appears before the eyes can affect changes in consciousness that bear fruit within manifestation. Several of you were saying earlier that the culture in which you live encourages the doing rather than the being, and this is a true and substantial point. Take a moment and gaze at the expectations which each has of the self. There is the expectation of enough supply to be able to amass a dwelling, vehicles within which to drive to various far-flung locations, numerous responsibilities having to do with duty to family, to loved ones, to friends. There is the requirement of collecting the various gadgets of your people, the what this instrument would call electronics that make the life both simpler and infinitely more complicated by their use—the telephone to be more in contact, the various parts of the computer that this instrument is so fond of that offer new efficiencies in storing data and require more and more hours of work in offering this machine its daily bread. Yes, you live within an environment of consuming, collecting and doing. And, yes, you have absorbed these values.

Now, let us back up from gazing at the outer world, that world of flesh and bone and deeds. Let us call upon the deeper reality, that structure within the self that is infinite and eternal. It is this consciousness that is not a part of space and time that chose to move into just this perverse environment, just this materialistic society, just exactly this one and no other. Why? Why feel that it is a prize to achieve an incarnation of such suffering, such distraction and confusion? Sit with this “why” and know that only one answer will suffice, and that answer is Love, for Love is the beginning and the end and all things in between. Love it was, that one great original Thought of Love, infinite Love, creative, powerful Love that bore Light. Each photon, each particle, if you will, of Light is a pure manifestation of Love and of this Light are builded all the vibrations and nexuses of energy that form the universe and all that is within it.

And into this infinitude of worlds beings of Light come, sparks of the heart of the infinite Creator—you and all of the family of humankind. Each of you unique as a snowflake. Each of you infinitely beautiful and valuable. Each of you powerful and able to serve, for you are Love. Yes, within this veil of flesh each has distorted these structures and ideas and thoughts of love so that they do not shine like the diamond but are rough. And so, within the flesh each feels the frustration of knowing her own imperfection. And this is a treasure, this awareness of the self in its illusory form as imperfect. This treasure is so precious because within this illusion, this seeming imperfection, entities have the greatest chance of choosing to live in love by faith alone, for there will never be any proof that there is a spiritual reality beyond that which can be seen, felt, heard, and tasted.

It is just this difficulty, this confusion that you have sought so that you may play your part in the shadow world of Earth. Each of you comes as a messenger of Light, a vessel full of Love. It does not come from you. It only comes through you. You are not responsible for loving the world but only for allowing space within yourself so that a channel of life through you may be made from the infinite Creator. Through your smile, through your eyes, through your outstretched hand to the world flows the infinite Love of the one Creator.

The group question for this session was: “Most people feel totally overworked and pressed, and we are wondering how we can refill our batteries to do all the work that lies before us. How can we keep our spiritual balance in the world that requires so much worldly things of us?” Q’uo began by using what Carla had heard from a visiting preacher about how he and his wife–who were both priests and doctors–went to Africa to work as doctors in an area of poverty and suffering when there was also an outbreak of disease and drought. They discovered that there was so much work to do in order to serve the people who were suffering that they didn’t know if they could continue to work so long and hard, and because they were priests, they got up two hours earlier each day and prayed to strengthen their faith, and this gave them the energy that they needed to continue their work gracefully.  Q’uo said that this was an example of how one looks at one’s reality can create fruitful changes in one’s consciousness which could also apply to the environment of the worldly ways of consuming, collecting, and doing. So Q’uo recommended that we should look at the deeper reality of the infinite self and ask why it chose to move into an incarnation with such suffering and confusion? Then they said that we should remember that we all are sparks of the infinite Thought of Love and have incarnated as a portion of that Love with the power to serve, and even though we know that we have many imperfections they give us a chance to live in love by faith alone because there is no proof that there is a spiritual reality beyond this illusion. Q’uo went on to say that it is the confusion of this illusion that gives us a chance to play our part as a channel for the Love of the infinite Creator to flow through us. On September 8, 1980, Laitos spoke of becoming a channel for the Love of the Creator:

We are aware that each of you wishes to do what this instrument would call worldly work, but each of you is consciously aware that these needs involve working for the good of the planet to which you have given your beings in this effort. Remember always to first center yourself, to feel the beauty of your own unfolding, the delicate scent of the Love of the Creator that emanates from you in many, many, ways. Do not see yourself in any way except as a channel for Love, the Love of the Creator, my friends. If you can maintain that connection in sincerity, that which you need shall be given unto you.

Yes, each of you has, shall we say, bogged down in the mire of too much to do. Yes, each of you is weary, and this is exactly what you hoped would happen. This very suffering, this crown of thorns that the too short days are, is the destiny you have hoped to achieve, for it is in this very place, this very time that you can both learn the most about service and love and offer the most powerful service and love.

When all seems confusion and energy seems gone, we encourage each to take a moment to say to the self perhaps just one word: Love. This instrument, being a follower of the mythical system of Christianity, says one word: Jesus. Others might say Christ-consciousness. Whatever this Love, this principle that has created all that there is, is named. It is an infinite source of energy and calling upon Love you shall be strengthened.

Beyond the attitude of love, and service, and faith that all is well the tool most likely to be useful when energy is low is the sense of proportion that enables each to see that they are tiny creatures standing upon a ball in the far reaches of an unimpressive galaxy in the midst of an infinite creation in which ten thousand years is an eye blink. Truth is eternal. The knower of truth is eternal. Each of you is an infinite spirit. The more you can remember who you are the more easily shall you be able to find that center, that place of knowing that is the holy of holies within. That place where the Creator waits for you patiently, hoping that you may stop. Open that door and tabernacle with the Most High. Feel that heart within you open as you think of love and know that the most important thing you will ever do is find that place and live there. It matters not whether you follow your head or your heart; there are no mistakes. But if you wish to cooperate with destiny, you will consult your heart first.

Then Q’uo said this suffering of too much to do is the destiny that we hoped to achieve because this gives us the opportunity to learn more about service and love and how to give them. They went on to say that when we feel confused, and our energy is gone, we should simply say: “Love” because it is an infinite source of energy and will replenish our strength. Then Q’uo suggested that another way of increasing our energy was to see our situation from a higher point of view by seeing ourselves as the tiniest of creatures standing on a little rotating ball of earth spinning in an ordinary galaxy where there is no time, and the real eternal truths may be found in meditation where we may tabernacle with the infinite Creator. They said that there are no mistakes, and if we choose to follow our heart, we will realize our destiny is to live in the Creator’s Love. On April 2, 2016, Q’uo spoke of tabernacling with the Creator in meditation:

The meditative state is that place wherein you tabernacle with the Most High, the holy of holies within your holy ground. Go, therefore, you, to this ground and seek the answers that are most important to you. Do not attempt to decide with your mental faculties important questions of spiritual nature. Go there within to the heart of your being to find those answers there in the meditative state.

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

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and the light once again through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to those queries which those present may have for us. Is there a query to which we may speak briefly?

J: Would you speak a little about the dynamic of love and faith. I think of love as active and of faith as being passive. Could you talk about them?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Love is in our way of thinking and being an activity which when experienced in its fullest is shone about much as your sun shines the light throughout the system of planets which is in its provenance. When one loves one is engaged in an activity that is the heart of being itself. Yet, one loves with the faith that to love is that which is most appropriate, most helpful, and is at the center of one’s being, that this is the reason for which incarnation was taken; that throughout all of the experiences that one may accumulate within an incarnation that there is the distillation of how well one has loved that is the measure of the success of the incarnation. Yet, as we have said, there is the faith that also permeates this experience of love. Faith in the self to love, faith in those about one that are loved, faith in love itself to be able to transform one’s own being and often the life pattern of those about one.

Thus, we see love and faith much as the tresses of a maiden, plaited up together and inseparable, if one is to be fully aware of the ramifications of love. There is the faith to continue when it seems that any response but love would be appropriate. The faith that to make oneself seem foolish and love when other, less harmonious, responses would seem to be called for is the situation in which the seeker of truth will find itself frequently as one loves in the face of all that comes one’s way.

Thus, we can recommend to the seeker of truth no qualities higher or more difficult to achieve than having the faith to love and loving in spite of all obstacles that would seem to hinder or obliterate the possibility of love.

Is there any other way in which we may speak to you, my sister?

J: No. Thank you very much.

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

[Pause]

We feel a great joy at the opportunity to blend our vibrations with those of this circle, for it is in such serving that we are able to share that of our love with you and to feel with you the journeys that you travel, the steps that you take, the missteps that seem far too frequent and the lessons hard-won from all steps that are taken. We would wish each here to know that there is no step taken in any incarnation that is taken alone, for not only do we walk with those who call us to walk with them, but each entity within your illusion is surrounded by friends that may not be seen or felt in any physical or mental way, yet there are those teachers, guides, and friends who have been called to you by your own seeking and the nature of your experiences who watch you walk and who walk with you, and who hold the hand in the metaphysical sense when those moments of stress and trauma appear.

Call, then, upon these unseen friends whenever you feel that you are alone and need the support of another. Know that all such calls are answered, perhaps not in the exact way that one would imagine but in a way that has substance and lends support to the journey that is taken, for each of you here has made agreements with many who are also here and also with those who walk with unseen treads and who find great joy and meaning in assisting you on your journey, for this is a journey which all take together, and none arrives home without aiding and assisting the journey of another. This is the way that the journey is accomplished.

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

This morning I vacuumed the first floor of the house.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop at the Rainbow Blossom Health Food Store where I bought some Vitamin B Complex. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Pepsi Zero, a birthday card for a friend, and some non-food items. When I got home I transplanted the three trays of Begonias into the two small Impatiens gardens on the far side of the Flower Fall in the front yard. The deer had eaten most of the Impatiens, and the Begonias did a great job filling in the gaps.

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

The Powers Of Death

I am of the Spirit of Jesus the Christ which speaks to the world today. I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

The powers of death have held great sway over the minds of your peoples in all times, for it is to the powers of death that all that which is negative tends. Yet all the sighs and sorrows in reaction to the experiences of the day guide one ever so subtly away from vitality and towards distraction and distress.

There is no need for the powers of death to have hold upon your mind and your heart. For even where there is perceived an unquestionable catastrophe, yet at the same time the softening voice of spirit Speaks to those who listen.

We ask you to tap into this source of peace and life, for there is abundant life in any circumstance, insofar as the will and faith of the struggling seeker may open the inner eye and reach the inner hand to the Spirit of truth within.

We leave you in the ineffable peace and Love of Jesus the Christ, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from May 12, 1996:

We would like to continue the session from two weeks ago where we were discussing problems that wanderers have in this density. We were working on the energy centers, and we had gotten up to the green, and now we would like to complete this information.

(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. We are most privileged to be asked to offer our opinions and to join your meditation for this session on this lovely springtime day. The energies of your growing things are most active and excited at this time, and their light is beautiful to behold. As we share our opinions we ask each to take that which is of help and discard the rest of what we have to say. We trust your discrimination and ask that you be careful to trust it yourselves, for there are many who would like to replace personal discrimination with group discrimination. Yet all who seek spiritually seek uniquely and the world views of your culture do not always ring true. We simply ask that you pay attention to that ringing of truth. Trust it when it comes. Trust yourself when it does not come.

In working with the challenges that wanderers might especially have a tendency to face upon your planet of third density we have been making generalizations and will continue to do so. Each entity seeks differently and so we encourage each to question and work with this material actively, asking for further information on points which seem unclear so that we may be more able to be of service to each who is present.

We had begun to discuss the green-ray energy center and its special challenges as the, shall we say, dissertative part of the previous gathering ended, and so there we shall pick up the subject, noting that with the heart energy comes, in one sense, a fruition, a place of rest and repose where one can gain an overview of the nature of being, the nature of being in an incarnative body, and the nature of that great road which the heart walks.

The heart is that seat of wisdom that is bathed in compassion. That is its eventual destiny, and often the wanderer is able to feel that deeper centrality which is the property of the tuned heart. Yet the heart energy is also very vulnerable to mismatches of energy which block, over-activate, or in other ways distort the red, orange, and yellow ray energy centers. Furthermore, even when the seeker has become balanced to a high degree in the lower three chakras, still the heart, in offering information to the senses, does in most instances generate a good deal of noise along with those deep and true signals that are the essence of the open-heart information.

We pointed out previously how vulnerable the green-ray energy center is to low energy coming through the lower three chakras. This is a cardinal point, for each wishes so deeply to experience that blessed open heart energy and to move into the higher energy centers that the wanderer has the natural tendency to wish to move on from the work of the lower energies into the heart, then into those energies of communication and work in consciousness which offer so much blessing and are the balm to so many wounds experienced by the wanderer.

And so, there are two reasons why it is well for the seeker to go slowly and to monitor the self so that the self does not spin its wheels, shall we say, attempting the work of higher energy centers while experiencing low energy into the green-ray center. The lessons of love seem to be more uplifting in the higher energy centers. To the intellect especially this is true. However, it is our opinion that the advent of true openhearted energy takes place only when the seeker has begun to value each energy center equally and begins any conscious work with a brief examination of each center so that imbalances can be seen by the self and attended to before the self takes the consciousness into those higher centers and asks it to function.

This group has spoken often of the feelings that the self has the dark side, and each has worked with this dark side, seeing how it can unhappily distort red, orange, and yellow-ray energies. We encourage each, then, to find more and more appreciation of and tolerance of those lessons that seem so basic, for in truth each energy center has the same degree of preciousness. Each ray of self is beautiful to the infinite One. So, the task becomes that of attempting to clarify and refine the sense impressions that arise from catalyst as the present moments seem to pass. If there is work to do with self or with other self in clearing these lower energies, we encourage an attitude of enthusiasm for doing the work it takes to get to the heart of whatever distortion or blockage has taken place.

Judging not, but only nurturing the self, finding out what you truly think and feel and then, without judgment, turning once again to the open heart. Each within incarnation shall make many errors. The illusion was set up to force errors, to bring about helpful challenges. The catalyst that seems so heavy is an expensive gift of the higher self to the self. When one can take this, shall we say, on faith, one has overcome a great stumbling block that stands in the way of the open heart.

Now, once one has made peace with the first three energy centers, once one can feel that full energy is moving into the heart, there is another consideration to deal with before further work is done. This is a subtle, careful, work. It is the sifting and winnowing of the feelings and thoughts within the heart. Each entity has within the heart center all the expressions of love from the most refined to the most inchoate, unorganized, and distorted. All feelings of the heart are true at some level, but the upper levels, the surface emotions of the heart, can be as the red herring in a mystery story, clues that lead in the wrong direction. If each can see itself as a kind of distillery and can see emotions as the raw products which go into the creation of the wine, there might be a good analogy of what it is to explore, refine, and purify emotion, for the grape, with its skin, its fungus and its stems, the sugar with its impurities, the water with its impurities, these together are wine. However, they do not yet manifest as wine but rather as a collection of ingredients, mishmashed together, not yet finished. These are the emotions that the heart receives to begin with when new catalyst comes. Seldom is the entity receiving catalyst able to listen, see, touch, or feel clearly. Usually, there is some degree of confusion in the response.

Therefore, it is not well simply to advise the seeker to follow the heart and no more than that be said, for truly one needs to follow the heart, but first one needs to allow each experience to be refined and be purified by that distillery that is carried within that heart by each. It seems that each is a prisoner of time, and yet in the sense that we are using this analogy it is only in the freedom of the illusion of time and space that this first purification of self-aware emotion can be accomplished. These raw feelings that the heart senses instantaneously may be already pure. But it is well to ask the self to refrain from impulse and to honor all feeling by moving back to it when one can contemplate it, and in that centered and balanced mode allow the deeper truths of what has been felt to move through that refining fire which distills pure emotion from the dross of ingredients that are no longer needed.

In other words, the heart puts out a lot of garbage which needs to be placed where it can be removed. Let us say that you have within your heart a curb. Place the can at the curb, and when you feel you have found the dross of some feeling, that which was not fundamentally clear, the wanderer can visualize the action of physically placing those stems and skins of raw emotion into the trash to be removed by time, while the precious and pure emotion is filtered into the deep heart that contains purity, compassion and its own wisdom. Discrimination is such a valuable activity. Each has it. We encourage each in its frequent use.

Now we stand within the open heart, gazing backwards at those powerful energies that make us strong, and gazing forwards at those energies which more and more merge with the metaphysical. This green-ray center has but one true polarity, and indeed those who seek in the path of service to self must needs bypass the green-ray energy center. So, for each who wishes to serve the Creator by serving others, we say spend as much time as you can within the open heart, for it is central, and the light that it sheds moves backwards to the root and forward to the crown of all possible energies. The word passion, like the word love, has far too many connotations to be a pure word, and yet we say to you that the passion-pure heart is the greatest power within the universe. It is that seat where manifestation moves from within your incarnational experience. Its keeping clean and clear is a task that cannot be overdone.

The group question for this session was: “We would like to continue the session from two weeks ago where we were discussing problems that wanderers have in this density. We were working on the energy centers, and we had gotten up to the green, and now we would like to complete this information.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that an overview of the nature of the heart describes the nature of being incarnated in a body and the nature of one’s spiritual journey where wisdom is balanced with compassion, but even when the lower three energy centers are balanced the heart can distort information and can also give information that is full of the truth of the open heart. Then Q’uo said that in order to keep the distortion of information by the heart from remaining that it is well for the wanderer to go slowly in working with the first three energy centers by carefully examining them to see where imbalances need to be worked with before attempting any work in the higher energy centers. Q’uo continued by saying that each of the three lower energy centers have equally beautiful qualities that are most precious to the Creator, and the wanderer should attempt to use any catalyst with another entity that results from a blockage of energy to examine its true feelings about the situation so that the blockage may be cleared by refusing to judge the self and to turn to the open heart. They went on to say that the illusion was designed to force errors and to bring about challenges that can create helpful changes, and if the wanderer can have faith that this is the way growth occurs then it has removed a great stumbling block to the open heart. Then Q’uo said that when these first three energy centers are in balance there remained some very subtle work to be done in the perception of the first responses of the love of the heart which may be distorted in various ways when new catalyst is experienced. They suggested that these emotions of the heart be contemplated and followed to their source so that they can be refined and purified by the distillery within the heart which would allow the deeper truth of the compassion, wisdom, and emotions of the deep heart to be revealed to the wanderer. In 12.30, Ra spoke of some of the problems that wanderers experience on Earth:

Questioner: I just had a thought. Do any of these wanderers have physical ailments in this Earth situation?

Ra: I am Ra. Due to the extreme variance between the vibratory distortions of third density and those of the more dense densities, if you will, wanderers have as a general rule some form of handicap, difficulty, or feeling of alienation which is severe. The most common of these difficulties are alienation, the reaction against the planetary vibration by personality disorders, as you would call them, and body complex ailments indicating difficulty in adjustment to the planetary vibrations such as allergies, as you would call them.

Now, with the movement into the throat chakra, or the blue-ray energy center, we move into that area wherein gifts of the Creator have often been given generously, for wanderers are communicators. It is ironic that the usual experience of the wanderer is one of frustration at being unable to communicate. This is, however, not because the wanderer cannot communicate, but because the wanderer is not speaking on the level at which others may be listening. The skill of communication is certainly in a large part simply the thinking and expressing of thoughts, knowing what is thought and finding the way to say it. However, the penalty for communicating in ways in which the other is not presently thinking is a failure to communicate.

Therefore, a signal skill of a communicator is the listening ear that is able to distinguish just where the other entity is dwelling within its own mind and heart. It is obvious that one cannot communicate to most six-year-olds as one can communicate to a sixty-year-old. Yet the differences between the consciousnesses of various entities within your density is such that a six-year-old wanderer may be able to understand what you say better than a sixty-year-old entity who sleeps still in third-density unawakened bliss.

Therefore, we encourage each to practice the skill of listening and of attempting to tailor that which is communicated to the needs of that particular entity. This is careful, subtle work, yet we feel that it is a good discipline and one which is badly needed by the wanderer, for it is a wonderful gift to share one’s essence with another. Yet if that speaking does not hit the mark because the entity has been careless in giving to that individual to whom it is speaking, then those powerful energies have to some extent been misspent. Therefore, we do not say simply hold the tongue, but seek to assess the needs of that entity to whom you speak and then attempt to communicate directly into the heart of that energy. That gives the other full respect, and it shall aid in effective communication.

As we move into indigo ray, we find that perhaps the greatest problem wanderers have is an obsession with and hunger for spirit to an extent which cannot be held in a balanced manner within the full range of energies. Work in consciousness seems like the hardest work possible to those who have not awakened. To the wanderer, work in consciousness is likely being done piecemeal, whether or not that wanderer has awakened, simply because of the various mismatchings of vibration between the spirit and the culture into which it has come. The great attractiveness of indigo-ray work is seductive. We encourage each to the great work of disciplining the personality and of doing that work in consciousness that better refines the self and its awareness of self, but we encourage each to do this work slowly, carefully and reverently, taking small steps and setting small goals, for work in consciousness is something that shall be more and more refined in higher densities.

Third-density work is largely within those first three energies, so that while we encourage each to work in consciousness as the opportunities are given, at the same time we also encourage each before starting into work in consciousness to turn and gaze at the self and its alignments, energies and energy transfers, and if there is work of a refining nature that needs to be done to tune to that work not with the feeling of having been punished but with the feeling of gratitude that here within this illusion of space and time you have the opportunity to move back into that open heart that you have just attained, and from there see the balance between that which is considered basic and that which is considered exalted, for it is truly said within your holy works that the first shall be last and the last first. All that you see as base is in fact that which is powerful. The right use of power is truly basic work in consciousness, but it expresses through improvements through the lower rays.

What we are attempting to communicate is that third density is not the place from which to take off into the ethers. Rather, it is the place to refine your basic choice of paths: service to self, or service to others. This seems a simple and basic choice, one easily taken and out of the way, clearing the way for important work. Yet, this is the chief work of your incarnation, the purification of that choice for the light. Into that light you will take your entire universal, as this instrument likes to say, three hundred and sixty degree self. You shall not be judged on the contents of your heart, for all have light and dark within. You shall be judged by the self on your capacity to accept an increase of light. Those who truly think of others first are automatically increasing their ability to withstand the more dense light of the next density.

Therefore, wanderers, just like those native to this third density, need to see the chief importance of making, and remaking, and remaking this choice. It is not made once for all. It is made again and again and again. Temptation to shut down that open heart, to go away from the light, comes every day you dwell within your illusion, so that you can go through this process of refinement which has many temptations and tests.

Perhaps to say that there is a shortcut would not be incorrect, and that shortcut to which we refer can be summed up in two words: praise and thanksgiving. No matter what is occurring within your life experience, within the experience of your groups or of your planet, it is a gift. Many of these gifts are brutal: death, pain and suffering seem like dark presents indeed, and yet each situation is a chance to choose praise and thanksgiving.

If one can take that imagery of the distillery, we can say that often the darkest of grapes and the mustiest of fungi and growth and stems, when given time and allowed to sweeten, can offer the most profound blessings. Thus, we encourage each in all emotional weathers to find the faith and the will to offer praise and thanksgiving for the time and space in which to be conscious, aware, and making that great fundamental choice: the darkness or the light.

[Transcript ends.]

Now Q’uo moved to the throat chakra and said that wanderers are natural communicators, but they are often unable to communicate because they speak on a level that others are not able to understand, so Q’uo suggested that the wanderer exercise the listening ear to determine what the needs are of the one to whom the wanderer wishes to communicate so that it may speak to the heart of those needs. Then Q’uo said that the work of the indigo ray was the work of the spirit which the wanderer has a great desire to communicate, but this is work in consciousness which it has difficulty accomplishing because of the mismatch in vibrations between the spirit and the culture that the wanderer lives in, so the wanderer must do this work of refining itself and its awareness of its self slowly and carefully. Then Q’uo said that it was necessary to look at the first three energy centers to see if there is work in energy transfers that is necessary to refine those balances of energy before beginning the work in consciousness and entering the open heart that has been attained so that one may build upon the right use of power of the first three energy centers. They went on to say that the basic work of third density is making the decision to serve others or the self, and as we walk into the light at the end of our incarnation, we shall judge ourselves by how much light we can accept by serving others and moving into the fourth density if we have thought of others first. Then they said that wanderers need to make this choice day after day, and one way to increase the speed of this making of the choice was to have the faith and will to give praise and thanksgiving for the pain and difficulties of the experience of life and the opportunity to be conscious and aware of being able to make the fundamental choice of the light or the darkness. On November 17, 2018, Q’uo spoke of the value of giving praise and thanksgiving for the difficulties of life:

We can assure the one known as D. that the process of giving praise and thanksgiving for all catalyst and all experience within the incarnational journey of seeking the truth is a means by which this processing of catalyst is greatly enhanced. If you can approach that situation which produces catalyst, you are approaching a situation that is oftentimes difficult, that provides the hesitation, the doubt, the fear, the anxiety, that exposes the self to examination, in yet another area of beingness.

This ability to open the self to such catalytic engagement is that which fuels, or lubricates, shall we say, the entire process, for it opens the heart and the mind in a manner which tends to allow those negative emotions that first arise upon experiencing and sensing catalyst to fall away, to be put into their proper perspective of that which may provide some initial angst or hesitation, and yet at the same time provide an impetus to move forward into the unknown nature and areas of the self, for it is that which you wish to explore, my friends. You are the One Creator, and yet, in your incarnational experiences, you manifest but a tiny portion of that One Creator that exists in all things and in all entities, and there is great room for exploration and intrepid movement to those darkened areas within your own being.

When you are able to give praise and thanksgiving for this entire process, you are casting the process into the light of the One Creator and the love that resides within your being awaiting potentiation as you are able to access those portions of your analytical mind and your unconscious.

This morning I went outside and blew leaves in the front and back yard into places where I could mulch them as part of cutting the grass all around the house. Then I had an appointment with my dentist for my biannual teeth cleaning and X-rays. An hour before the appointment I took the four 500 mg. of antibiotic capsules that my hip replacement surgeon recommended for two years after my hip was replaced. My surgery was in October of 2022, so this is the last of the antibiotics that I will need to take when I have dental appointments. It was discovered that one of the crowns on the lower right side of my jaw had a crack in it which will need to be corrected, so I made an appointment for a week from tomorrow to have this done. So one more dose of antibiotics!

This afternoon I completed the trimming of weeds and pathways after having mowed the grass this morning.

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

September 12

Open That Door

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

Have you far to go this day? Do the miles seem long and weary to travel? Is there little bread and bitter herbs to eat when you come home? So it is in many souls’ experience.

The Comforter does not stop occurrences from happening within your day and within your life. It is a companion. We as a force are with you always. You cannot run faster than we can follow, and we shall always bear you up within, if you but seek the comfort of divine Love within.

The principle of Love, the Spirit of Christ, awaits you behind the door of your heart. Open that door. Go into the inner room. Feel the holiness of that ground within. And then take it to the dreary task and the difficult day and find it transformed by Love.

We wish you peace, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 28, 1996:

The question this afternoon deals with wanderers and the problems that they face. Ra mentioned at one point that wanderers were more likely to have psychological problems fitting in with the vibrations of this planet. We are wondering if Q’uo could speak about the kinds of difficulties that wanderers face that might be specific to them as opposed to the kinds of difficulties that natives of this planet might face, and special recommendations that Q’uo might have as to what wanderers might do to harmonize their situations.

(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. Thank you and bless you for calling us to your circle of seeking this day. We are most grateful to have this opportunity to blend our vibrations with yours and to offer our humble opinion. We ask only one thing, and that is that you take with you that which you feel is useful of what we say and leave the rest behind without a backward glance. Trust your discriminatory ability, not another’s authority, for you have your wisdom deep within you and we only help you remember parts of it. That is what we hope is our service to you, and we thank you for your great service to us, for without those who seek and hunger and desire to know the truth we would have no right to share our views.

You have asked us this day about a subject that is very dear to our hearts, as this instrument would say, for we have been wanderers and have dealt with the experiences of being one who is not native to the vibration of birth. We know the call to serve as a wanderer and we know of the tremendous effect the veil of forgetting has on the young wanderer that is so, so far away from any vibration that feels native, and yet we have not regretted in any way our service as wanderers, and we hope that each of you can come to feel that the service that you wish to provide is worth the sacrifice of comfort and the many feelings of difficulty and isolation that a wanderer is almost bound to experience.

This is a large subject and at this particular meeting we would like to speak using the organization of energy centers to allow us to share our thoughts in a somewhat more logical way than simply taking the various challenges of the wanderer one by one. We are aware that each has a good understanding of the various energies that lie on the path or pole line from the entering energy at the root or red-ray energy center and that move upward through the body’s energy centers to exit finally at the violet-ray center, moving, as does each of you move, from the basic to the more advanced lessons of love which you have come to learn anew as if you had never known them before. Remember to turn in thanks and look once more to find what depth you have not yet plumbed in each energy. In each, shall we say, division of incarnational lessons there is an unending subtlety and refinement of what we may loosely call understanding or balance. There is no end to awareness and there is no end to the path each of you shares, but only an ever more profound allowing of the natural balance to come into manifestation from that great well of potential that is the human heart.

We would begin with the red ray, that great and powerful…

[Carla deals with Mo the cat wanting to climb into her lap.]

As each wanderer comes into being in an incarnational body the very cells of that physical vehicle, having been inundated and marinated in that consciousness that it now carries for a lifetime, shrinks and quivers with the mismatch of vibrations between the physical body of that consciousness and the energies which can be called public opinions, those cultural entities which mold and control, for the most part, the surface beliefs and habits of a culture. Your peoples, by their very basic ways of moving through their days, their seasons, and their years create a tremendous and powerful ethos driven by fear, driven by hunger, driven by need and desire that many of your peoples truly believe can be satisfied through the attainment of money and power.

Thesebeliefs, so native, so normal, and so very widespread, simply fail to ring true to the wanderer on the most basic of levels. And so that red-ray energy center is challenged first by the very instinct for survival, for it feels to the consciousness of that body as though it will not be able to survive. Perhaps the most basic corrective of this feeling is the observation that each has in fact survived, and we may not create joy by telling you that each will continue to survive until all that you have wished to do is done, all that you have desired to learn has been learned. Being a wanderer does not condemn the body to an early grave. Rather, it promises a chronic situation of mismatching vibrations. This is often expressed, manifested, or shown in allergies, illnesses and mental and emotional difficulties.

Now, what can each do to open and strengthen this all-important first ray? We ask each to spend the time when the self is grooming and bathing and clothing that physical vehicle to care for it, nurture it and do those things that you feel will help it. In all ways find the way to give the most respect and love to this fragile, hard put, physical vehicle. Rock it in your mental arms. Hold it and tell it, “I love you. I love you. Rest easy, for I love you.” You are that body’s only human connection. You are that entry way where consciousness of self meets self, and you have been given this precious physical, chemically driven body. It has offered itself freely, given its instinctual life over to that consciousness that has never been born and will never die. This is a complete sacrifice of the body which, until recently, lived the instinctual life of the great ape. Know that you can nurture this body and that it needs your love.

The other way that you can open this energy center is by coming to grips with the sexuality with which this physical vehicle was supplied. Gaze at experience and come into ever closer awareness of the sacramental nature of this energy. That which is called sexuality is only the surface expression of that driving force which has created the densities. It is as though each of you had within the self a port upon the ocean of eternity, for through the physical vehicle of woman flows the ocean of life, and to its shores come each male energy to enter and know infinite love, infinite energy and the miracle of birth from the forever into the now. And to the male has been given that driving enthusiasm that is manifested in that seed which is fertile and which takes hold and offers life within the ocean.

And male and female, energy and energy, come together and flow into each other and create all the polarities, all the densities, all that you can think of. All polarity has its first expression in red ray, so whether you express this energy or are celibate, it does not matter, for if you know and respect the goodness of that basic energy it will well up within as the never-failing spring, always life giving, always life enhancing.

The group question for this session was: “We are wondering if Q’uo could speak about the kinds of difficulties that wanderers face that might be specific to them as opposed to the kinds of difficulties that natives of this planet might face, and special recommendations that Q’uo might have as to what wanderers might do to harmonize their situations.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they had been wanderers themselves and knew the challenges that wanderers experience within the veil of forgetting in their attempt to be of service to others, and they wanted to speak of the problems that wanderers have in relation to the energy centers that begin with the red energy center and moving upward through violet energy center in a study of the learning of the lessons of love in a more advanced nature in the higher centers. They began their description of the red-ray energy center of the wanderer’s body feeling the mismatch of it experiencing the immersing of its body of the love vibration being at variance with the cultural norms of fear, hunger, and the desire for money which challenge the wanderer’s instinct for survival. Then Q’uo said that they could assure the wanderer that it would survive, but that it may suffer some difficulties due to the mismatch of vibrations that could manifest as allergies, illnesses, and mental and emotional difficulties. Q’uo went on to say that we can strengthen the red ray of the body by taking care of it when we are bathing, dressing, and grooming it to let it know that we love it and are grateful for its service in carrying us around in this difficult third density illusion. They said that we are our body’s connection with our consciousness that will never die so that the service that the body gives us is the sacrifice of its life, and we should nurture our body because it needs our love. Then Q’uo said that the second way that we can open the red energy center was through becoming aware of the sacramental nature of sexuality which is the power that created the densities where the woman has the ocean of life flowing through her and the male has the seed of fertility that offers life within the ocean of experience. They said that: “Male and female, energy and energy, come together and flow into each other and create all the polarities, all the densities, all that you can think of. All polarity has its first expression in red ray, so whether you express this energy or are celibate, it does not matter, for if you know and respect the goodness of that basic energy it will well up within as the never-failing spring, always life giving, always life enhancing.” On June 9, 1991, Q’uo spoke of the life enhancing nature of the red energy center:

For you are most carefully and assiduously creatures of the red-ray energy center, which has to do with the very existence of your being within any illusion. You have the capability of manifesting the survival mechanism, and the ability to reproduce other types of entities, such as yourselves. You are those who have built the foundation for your life experience upon the very being and vitality of the universe itself, of the Creator that exists within you.

As you explore your own nature, you see that you have in potential the ability to move the consciousness of your being upward along the energy centers so that you are able to reflect a higher and higher perception and reproduction of the life-giving quality of the One Creator, of the Love that has created the universe, and of the Logos that has made your particular galaxy and has infused each entity within it with the survival mechanism: the ability to be, and to manifest, to learn and to grow. This is your very basic nature. You are the One Creator in microcosm.

That second energy which is often associated with the belly is the orange-ray or second chakra, and within this energy come the difficulties and the dynamics of the self’s journey with the self and the self’s interactions with other selves, one at a time. For the wanderer whose experiences of other selves are often difficult, the orange ray presents the challenge of remaining open in a hostile environment of, as this instrument would say, taking the slings and arrows of challenging fortune and still remaining eager for further contact with people.

It is often true that the wanderer will not be completely aware of its difficulties of accepting itself. Therefore, the wanderer will project that difficulty outward, and it will then feel that it cannot deal with other people. Yet other people are the mirrors which reflect the self to the self. It would be possible to work through the lessons of love without other entities, but it would not be probable. It is the mirrors that touch your life that give you the information you need to turn within, and, little by little, find ways to deepen the love that you have for yourself.

Now, each would say, “Of course I love myself.” And yet there is the self that criticizes self, that asks the self for more, that is never satisfied with what has been done. This instrument would call it being hard on yourself. Yet this is not an adequately deep expression of the kind of damage most wanderers do within themselves because they do not have mercy upon themselves. Somewhere, dimly remembered, each wanderer feels there is the possibility of giving, serving, doing, being more.

We do not deny that there is always more, but we ask each to see that this is not at all the point. To aid the orange-ray center we ask each to work at becoming more able to accept, forgive, and support that self that is living by faith alone in a difficult environment, that is hungry for food that they cannot find and that becomes weary with every passing revolution of the sun. As each becomes older the weariness increases and yet this is not necessary for the one who has learned to accept the self as it is, with its dark side intact, not regenerate, not born again, but the self in all its dirt, with every mole and wart and running nose showing proudly.

Beloved ones, know that your physical vehicles will always be challenged. Your reactions to other selves will always contain the inevitable biases which handicap you in physical and emotional ways but enlarge your area of action in other ways. So, perhaps the one word that expresses our advice on dealings between self and self would be mercy. Compassion and forgiveness heal. They heal the self, and they offer others a place wherein they too can choose to heal themselves. Let your witness with this strong energy be that of the loving and the merciful. This instrument would say shepherd, but that is not the concept. We simply cannot give this instrument a more accurate word.

Then Q’uo spoke of the orange energy center in which the wanderer would experience interactions with one other self that were challenging and difficult, but it would be eager to remain open to relationships with people and continue to learn the lessons of love because the difficulties with others could be the result of being unable to accept itself, and this difficulty would be mirrored to the wanderer in the way that it interacted with others. Q’uo continued by saying that the wanderer may say that it loves and accepts itself while at the same time being hard on itself for what it has done because it has the deep memory within itself of giving, doing, and serving more as a wanderer in other lifetimes. Then Q’uo said that in order to aid the orange center the wanderer should be able to love and forgive itself for its failings and support the self by having faith to live in a difficult environment and to accept the self with all of its shortcomings open for all to see. They said that forgiveness and compassion for the self heals the self, and it also gives others a way to heal themselves as well. On March 28, 1993, Q’uo spoke of the value of forgiveness to heal the self:

So, we have the situation where forgiveness is intellectually considered as being accomplished, but within the emotional portion of the mind, body, and spirit the forgiveness is not believed because the self deeply rejects the forgiveness since there remains unhealed memory. You have perhaps heard us before speak of something we call “healing of the incarnation.” In your third-density incarnative experience this is the heart of work in consciousness, for if the incarnation be healed the potentiated and polarized servant is then free to offer with purity the life to the Infinite Creator. As each looks upon its “if onlys” we ask that each consider that these unhealed memories dim and make tenuous the pure Light which is the manifestation of Love, which empowers each servant of the One Infinite Creator.

Moving up into the solar plexus we find the yellow ray that is the primary ray of this density, that is the ray within which the greatest work of learning and service can be offered. This is that ray within which wanderers must learn to work within various groups and institutions of your peoples. The yellow-ray difficulties mirror and extend those difficulties of orange ray. However, dealing with group dynamics is in one sense simpler, but in the normal sense far more complex than the dealing of one person with another.

Within this energy nations are built and destroyed. Religions are started and abandoned. Peoples move across continents and cultures evolve, mature, and fall away. And within each group there is the more balanced and loving and compassionate path. Within this large assortment of groups that each entity will encounter within a lifetime lie the matings, the marriages, the belongings, the revolutions that shape the present and the future. In this energy each comes into deeper contact with the group mind, the national mind, the racial mind and the archetypical mind. This is the seat of power within the entity. This is where the instincts of control and influence dwell. This is the place where the spider builds its web or decides to become another entity. This is the crucible of your lessons in love.

Perhaps the most common and challenging of these groups is the family. Within this small group entities have the most steady, deep and lasting opportunities both for weal and for woe. Each is capable of becoming a portion of the so-called good of another’s experience or becoming the nemesis and the avenger that can destroy another. This family is so deeply a part of the experience of third density and so fully fertile with opportunities for service to self and to other self that we cannot overstate the opportunities for polarization that lie within the challenges and circumstances of the self dealing with groups.

Community is something wanderers understand instinctively. That much almost always comes through the veil of forgetting that marks the beginning of an incarnation upon your planet in your density. The remembrance of a loving, supportive and steady family. The remembrance of men and women and children that are not only connected by names and by association but also by commonly held beliefs in service make the wanderer’s plight very, very lonely within what this instrument would call the nuclear families of your Earth, for within these families there does not seem to be a constant and steady atmosphere of love, for when faced with challenges of yellow-ray energies many entities, wanderers and natives alike, move back into orange-ray energies and remove themselves from groups insofar as possible, or, alternatively, entities can choose to immolate themselves within a certain group or “ism” that there is no longer the necessity for making personal choices.

We encourage each to catch those feelings of retreat and even panic and to express to the self the word “remembrance,” for if the wanderer can but remember that there is a good reason for having come, there is a good reason for dealing with these entities, these groups, then there is still the weariness, still the pain, but also courage and strength that comes from the knowledge of who you are, why you are here, and where you are headed.

Now, this triad of energies is difficult, is hard work for any, native or from elsewhere. In fact, we may go as far as to say that it is well for the wanderer to realize that in choosing to come to offer this service at this time the wanderer has put itself into the situation identical with that of the native of your Earth. That is, to graduate from this plane of existence it is necessary for wanderer and native alike to walk the steps of light that offer with each step more fullness, more density of light, and if the wanderer becomes caught in the pain of living and creates a lasting imbalance in energy, the wanderer will then as surely as any Earth-born native need to remain within third density until that wanderer has again become balanced and polarized sufficiently to bear to endure that fuller light that is the experience of fourth density.

Now, in fourth density there is the dropping of the veil of forgetting. There is the greater awareness of each as the self. There is the lifting of limitations and boundaries so that each is unique, yet each shares the thoughts and experiences of each other in harmony. This sounds paradisical to the Earth entity yearning for manifestation of unity. Yet we ask each to remember that each density has its own challenges and lessons, so that there is never an end to the learning. There is never an end to challenge. Within manifestation there is always the awareness of self and the awareness of other, and as the densities refine that awareness the consciousness asks with more profundity the nature of oneness, the nature of unity.

Moving into the heart, the green-ray chakra, that heart energy center, we stop and ask each to think upon the way in which energy works. Now, if there is a tightness, a stringency or a blockage within red, or orange, or yellow, to the extent that that energy is baffled, energy into the heart will not be as much, for there will be the energy bleed-off before the energy of the one Creator reaches the heart center. The energy that reaches this center is, in practice, that energy that the self has available to begin to work upon consciousness. The disciplines of the personality—learning to communicate, learning to find the sacredness of all things—these lessons of love are not well undertaken by those who have not come to some degree of balance within the lower energy centers, and this situation is perhaps the most typically devastating to the wanderer of all situations we could explore, for wanderers yearn so for the vibrations, the feelings, and associations of home that they do not have the spirit and the energy to clear those blockages to allow confusion to reign as it will without becoming enmeshed in that sea of confusion.

We are being told by this instrument that we are taking too long to speak with you this evening, and that the energies are somewhat flagging. And so we would simply halt at this point, realizing that perhaps at another session the circle may wish to explore this interesting subject further. We ask each to know that each is perfect, and whole, and in total unity with all that there is. This is reality. The rest is illusion. For each his star. Know hope and faith as you know your fingers and toes, and dwell in love. As the one known as Jesus has said, “Love the Creator. Love each other.” Dear ones, if you can but remember these simple things each day will be doable, each night a cause for thanks and praise.

Here Q’uo said that the yellow ray is the ray where the most learning and service may be accomplished for the wanderer as it involves work in groups such as nations, religions, and marriages, and these groupings magnify the work done in the orange ray that will allow the wanderer to come into deeper contact with the group mind, the national mind, the racial mind and the archetypical mind in order to learn the lessons of love. Q’uo went on to say that the family was the most challenging of the groups to work with in both the potential for positive and negative polarization, but the larger family of the group was easier for the wanderer to participate in as it had an inner remembrance of men, women, and children working together for a common cause. Then Q’uo said that because of the intensity of the relationships in the family there was not a steady focus on the concept of love which could cause wanderers and natives to retreat into the orange ray, so Q’uo suggested that the wanderer remember that there is a good reason for why they should experience this pain and weariness, and that there is courage in the knowledge of who they are, why they are here, and where they are headed. Then Q’uo reminded the wanderer that it has taken on the same task as the native of Earth to be able to work with the difficulties of the third density and learn the lessons of love that will allow it to graduate into the fourth density because if it does not learn them it will need to reincarnate into the third density once again to polarize itself in a manner that will allow it to make the graduation. Q’uo went on to say that the fourth density experience is beyond the veil of forgetting so that the self has a greater awareness of the unity of the creation, but there is still the awareness of each self as the self and the sharing of thoughts in harmony, but each density has its challenges to learn more of the lessons of unity. Q’uo said that it was necessary for the wanderer to be able to allow the unblocking and balancing of the red, orange, and yellow energy centers so that the heart center could be activated and work in consciousness could begin. They said this was difficult for wanderers because they have the desire for the vibrations of their home density, and they don’t have the energy to clear the blockages of the lower three chakras that will allow confusion to be part of their experience, so they are caught in the sea of confusion. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we should remember that we are perfect, whole, and in unity with all, and we should do as Jesus said and “Love the Creator and Love each other”, so that our days and nights will be filled with praise and thanksgiving. In 12.30, Ra mentioned the type of difficulties that wanderers experience on Earth:

Questioner: I just had a thought. Do any of these wanderers have physical ailments in this Earth situation?

Ra: I am Ra. Due to the extreme variance between the vibratory distortions of third density and those of the more dense densities, if you will, wanderers have as a general rule some form of handicap, difficulty, or feeling of alienation which is severe. The most common of these difficulties are alienation, the reaction against the planetary vibration by personality disorders, as you would call them, and body complex ailments indicating difficulty in adjustment to the planetary vibrations such as allergies, as you would call them.

Because there is some energy for questions, we would wish at this time to continue this contact through the one known as Jim. We would leave this instrument in love and in light. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time we would ask if there might be further queries that we might address. Is there a query at this time?

R1: I would like to ask how we as wanderers can better serve the Creator and the creation?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Whether one is a wanderer on a distant sphere or an entity of third-density illusion which has grown from roots on its home sphere, to love is to serve. To seek ways of serving more completely fuels this desire and the opportunities then present themselves to one who wishes to serve more fully. Thus, my friend, we say to you to desire to do so is to begin the process.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Carla: I have a follow-up. I know R1 is talking about helping people to network via computer and so forth and to make a place where wanderers can get together to combat the loneliness. Are these kinds of things useful, or is our service mainly just living?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. These many choices are but mechanics and detail. The desire to serve is the foundation upon which all shall be built according to desire. Fuel, then, this desire. Seek to serve in whatever way is yours and those ways which are yours shall come to you and through you.

Is there a further query?

E: I would like to know if there are entities that actively work against the progress of wanderers, and if so, how does one recognize them?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There are indeed those which you may call the dark angels which serve in their own way by providing the catalyst of which you speak. Any crystal shall fracture along its most flawed line. Thus, look into your own pattern of beingness to see those opportunities presented that tempt you away from love and service to each entity that you meet. When these opportunities present themselves, it is your free will choice as to how you shall proceed. Perhaps the choice is made in action rather than in thought, thoughtlessly rather than in contemplation, seemingly by accident rather than a choice, and upon the foundation of this choice the dark angels, or loyal opposition as they have also been called, may offer the intensification of that choice which has been freely made. Then the wanderer who is like unto a light is tempted to dim that light of love and service. If possible, the dark angel would seek to put out or control such a light. Thus is their service offered, and thusly do they evolve in the negative sense of the service to self, the putting into order, and the gaining of power over others. They are a part of the illusion as surely as is the light, for the one Creator blinks neither at the light nor at the dark that makes up the nature of the creation itself and its expression in this third-density illusion.

Is there a further query, my brother?

E: As one becomes more aware, does karma become more instantaneous?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother, and feel that you are most perceptive in your recognition of this principle, for as one becomes aware of what it is that one wishes to accomplish and clears the way for such activity, and is successful in achieving it, so then are the challenges more intensive and the feedback more immediate. This is efficient learning, though its disguise is often pain and suffering and confusion. Yet by persistence, utilizing the faith and will that are the rod and staff of the seeker of truth, one may move through this pain, suffering and confusion.

Is there a further query?

R1: Can we erase karma while we are in the third-density illusion?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would suggest the word, perhaps, “balance” because to erase karma is to erase those lessons which have been programmed previously to the incarnation, and this would be like erasing a portion of one’s existence, whereas to balance those lessons programmed is to remove the effect of the karma which ties one to the incarnation until the balance is achieved or until the will is depleted.

Is there a further query?

K: Do wanderers have to remain within the third density until they have achieved a balance in their own light at the fourth-density level?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The wanderer, as with any other third-density entity, must meet the same standards of giving love, of offering compassion, of opening the heart to the unconditional kind of love and compassion that are the fourth-density hallmark. Thus, the wanderer must meet these same standards.

Is there a further query?

K: Do wanderers get to go back to their home density after completing the harvest here?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The wanderer may do so if this has been the agreement and may do otherwise if the agreement has been, for example, to remain for a certain portion of the experience of the planet that it has chosen to serve.

Is there a further query?

R2: I am curious if you, after the meditation is over, stay sort of in the background and eat food with us?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are always delighted and filled with the love and light of this group as it meets in workings such as this one. And as you disperse from this circle and share your light and love with each other in meal and conversation we are able to partake by experiencing this light and this love in its movement between you.

At this time, we would again thank each for inviting us to this circle of seeking, hoping that you will forgive us for speaking overly long, but we are not aware of the passing of time as we speak with you, and we are always glad to be with you. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I took Bosco to the vet to see why the Freestyle Libre Glucose monitor was not working. She discovered an app for it on my phone that was the correct app but not the one I had been using. A simple solution to the problem! Then I got some experience at using another way of getting Bosco’s blood sugar readings by pricking his ear to get a drop of blood that is then measured by another device to get what are supposed to be more accurate blood sugar readings. Then I ran some errands with my first stop being at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. The second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some vitamins and picked up a prescription. When I got home, I used the watering wand to water the flower garden along the parking area in front of the house and the Snowball Hydrangea in the front yard.

This afternoon I went outside and used my trimmer to weed in the area in the front yard and about a quarter of the back yard completed.

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

September 11

Mountains Of Smoke

Greetings in the Love of Jesus the Christ. I am the consciousness and Spirit of the Christ in the vibration which comforts this instrument.

You have many seeming difficulties which rise before you like mountains of smoke, seemingly dense and impenetrable and yet seemingly unable to be grasped. It is of no avail to struggle against these difficulties, for opposition strengthens illusion.

Rather neglect them by turning your attention to your Creator and the preserver of your life, offering praise and thanksgiving to the mystery which you behold.

When you turn again in this consciousness the mountains will be there no longer, and the straight plain will offer your path no hindrance.

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 21, 1996:

In traveling the spiritual path, it seems that many get burned out after a while, and we would like to know what it is that burns out—our inspiration, our desire, our will, what is it, and what is the best thing to do to get our inspiration again? What is the wisdom of resting along the path?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the infinite light of the one infinite Creator. We thank you for calling us to your group this beautiful day. Your springtime has cycled around again, that time of expanding light, and even in the purely physical illusion your colors bloom and blossom rejoicing in the increase of light. There is the palpable lifting of vibrations among your peoples as the light increases in its daily amount each of your days. The self-aware life of your planet actually increases in its fidelity to the original Thought. As light increases so does remembrance of love increase.

This is as a blossoming on the metaphysical plane, so springtime redounds very much to the finer densities and is not at all simply a surface phenomenon. Indeed, each individual, each kind of thing, has its seasons and its cycles of being and for the spiritual seeker such cycles are to be expected.

We do not wish to forget to remind each, as always, not to take our words as those of authority but as those of fellow seekers, fellow wanderers upon the spiritual path. We are not infallible. Indeed, no source is infallible, for to speak is to err. It is only possible to approximate understanding or truth at the level at which words and symbols have meaning. Truth lies behind all appearance. This includes the finer densities as well.

As we ponder how to discuss this interesting topic, we find ourselves moving to the consideration of that which is the essence of each individual seeker. That essence is, in all cases, the perfect vibration of Love which is the great original Thought distorted in a way chosen by the individual into patterns which are unique to that one individual so that each entity is congruent with each other entity, and at the same time, and antithetically, each individual is entirely separate and different from any other, for truly, as with the snowflakes, there are no two entities just alike.

Just as each entity has the fingerprint that is unique to it, so the individual spark of consciousness that has coalesced into that sub-sub-Logos that is each seeker, that coalesced entity has its unique soul-print or signature of self. This means that each entity has, in addition to the commonly held cycles of time, of season and so forth, additional cycles unique to that one individual. There are tendencies that are common to seekers, but in the deepest sense each individual seeker must chart its own cycles and come to penetrate the mystery of those cycles for himself, for that which is perfect for another is not likely to be the optimum way of dealing with these spiritual cycles for the self. One can pick up many, many good tips, good tools, and resources to use in searching out the deeper truths of one’s nature, but one must always depend upon that discriminatory faculty that lies within the self.

This power of discrimination is not a passive power entirely. That which fuels the power of discrimination lies within the precinct of the deep mind and can be seen as potential memory. In other words, implicit within the essence of self, truth articulated within what you would call your past lies stored, not only the universal spiritual truths but also and more importantly the way in which these spiritual truths have come to have meaning for the infinite entity which is your consciousness.

Much, much work has been done by the being that you are. Much has been stored. Within the subconscious these potential memories lie as hidden treasure. The key to that treasure is the process of affirming the self that begins with silence, with meditation, with the opening within of the door to that inner sanctum, that holy of holies where beyond time and beyond space you, the consciousness, dwell with the Creator in an eternal tabernacle of adoration, praise, and thanksgiving. Within the archetypical self lies this deep identity, and it is into this portion of this identity that you wish to move. From this sacred place comes the faculty of recognition of that which is your own. When we or another speaks to you in ways that resonate with that deep faculty of discrimination it is as though that potential memory has been given permission to move into the conscious planetary self which is your waking personality.

The use of meditation, silence, and the practices of contemplation that are various is to open the avenue from the deep mind into the conscious, temporal, incarnational mind that is in cooperation with infinite consciousness, living and giving structure to the living within your illusion. Each entity will have fairly regular cycles of enthusiasm and a lack of enthusiasm. Now, each has been calling this lack of enthusiasm “burnout,” and this is one name for the point in the cycle in which the seeker feels unexcited. The truth of the essence of the self is not much connected to these seasons of enthusiasm and seasons of burnout. That which each is learning can be processed by the self which puts itself into the silence regardless of the emotional weather taking place at the surface of the mind, for even in the stormiest ocean the movement beneath the surface is far profounder and far less obvious, and this is also true of the deeper processes of consciousness.

The group question for this session was: “In traveling the spiritual path, it seems that many get burned out after a while, and we would like to know what it is that burns out—our inspiration, our desire, our will, what is it, and what is the best thing to do to get our inspiration again?” Q’uo began by saying that each seeker is the coalesced essence of the one great original Thought of Love that they have distorted in a way that is unique to them, and each seeker is a spark of that consciousness that experiences various cycles of life that create the mystery that must be discovered by their own powers of discrimination. Then Q’uo said that the powers of discrimination are within the deep mind and can reveal memories that are of a universal spiritual nature as well as how these universal principles have been experienced in cooperation with our eternal consciousness. Q’uo went on to say that we can discover these memories within our subconscious minds by using the silence of meditation to enter into the holy sanctuary of our heart where we can experience the presence of the Creator and dwell there in praise and thanksgiving. Then Q’uo said that the silence of meditation would allow the opening of an avenue of information to be transferred from the deep mind to the conscious mind that is in cooperation with the infinite consciousness to give structure to our living within the illusion. They went on to say that each seeker will have seasons of enthusiasm and seasons of lack of enthusiasm for this process which could be described as burnout when there is a lack of enthusiasm. Then they said that which the seeker is learning and remembering is not affected by the surface weather of its being but responds to the deeper processes of consciousness. On June 25, 1989, Oxal described the treasures that the deep mind has to offer the conscious mind:

There may be some confusion for those who pursue the study of the archetypical mind in a specific and quite conscious sense when attempting to grasp qualities that may seem alien. However, when most of your entities engage themselves in the study of this portion of the deep mind, there is that quality of awe and wonder that easily accepts that which seems foreign within the realm of the personal experience in order that it might enrich that experience, for when the deep mind is explored in a conscious fashion, there is always the feeling that this is not only holy ground but ground which the self in its smaller sense is walking for the first time. Therefore, the additions of exterior, shall we say, archetypical influences offer less of a difficulty than it offers greater richness.

You are learning in season and out of season, and what you do in terms of emotional response to surface conditions is actually relatively unimportant if in season and out of season you simply remember, in a non-dramatic way, who you are and what you seek. You do not have to wax poetic to be a seeker. You do not have to sustain enthusiasm to do your work as a seeker. It is not necessary for each day to be a carbon copy of each other day in terms of a rule of life. Each seeker will need to adjust its rule of life according to its surface weather, its felt needs at the level of the surface, at the level of time and space, and connections within the illusion. It is not only satisfactory but recommended that each alter the rule of life as needs, hungers, and desires are felt.

Let us attempt to clarify this. Just because one has ceased to feel enthusiasm for a given practice, that does not suffice as a reason to alter the practice. As long as one is not hungering for another specific practice it is well to be persistent in enthusiastic weather and in the reverse weather alike. However, as long as the seeker moves into that listening, that silent listening regularly, the seeker can feel fairly confident that it will have the inspiration and the desire to alter its practice when that alteration is appropriate.

If an alternate practice, then, moves the seeker, by all means let that seeker alter its practice in accordance with this new enthusiasm. But when the nature is simply dry and the spirit feels isolated, arid, and generally in the desert spiritually, this is the time to persist. This is the time to ask of the self that in memory of those deeply held desires that still seem fair, though the yearning is missing, it is extremely well done to rely upon those memories. And in the absence of another practice, continue with the practice that has seemed fair up until this point.

This instrument would suggest that it has said in the past it is easier to find a good job if you already have a job. In seeking also, it is well to persist and to be loyal to a practice that affects daily life and causes the self to come into remembrance of the Creator, regularly, inevitably, daily. So, if there is the practice that no longer feels new this is still an acceptable practice. Those periods of regular silence and asking are all-important, for the Creator and you together have crafted an elegant plan for your incarnation. All those things that are needed for learning and for service have been prepared. Thusly, it is to the entity that has learned to abide that the fruits of a deeper contentment and a deeper commitment may come.

There is an art to seeking the will of the one infinite Creator. That art is grounded in the faith that you do have a proper path. And we do say to each that each does have a very appropriate path. Now, each path is open to the free will of the individual, but as that path unfolds each will be unable to avoid following the path, for it is not a straight path. It is often a roundabout and complex path, but all variations of your path lead you to the infinite Love of the one infinite Creator. No matter what general permutations of your path you choose you still are upon your path, for the path is more a journey of self than a journey within time and space.

These concepts are almost impossible to share using your language. We apologize if we seem to be vague. But it is deeply so, we believe, that you cannot ruin your path. You cannot fail to continue to have constant feedback from all experience that offers a constant and self-renewing source of catalyst to the self.

In the terms of movement there are times it feels well to race upon one’s path and then we urge your feet to have wings. The cycle will contain those times when the body of emotions has been beaten and it needs to rest and recover, and in those times there will be the pausing upon the path. But all of the various moods that consist in the emotional weather of self are acceptable.

Then Q’uo said that whether our emotional response to the surface conditions of our lives is great or small we should alter our rule of life as our needs and desires change, but if we are not actually hungering for a change in our spiritual practice, we should not alter it just because we don’t feel enthusiastic about it. Q’uo continued by saying that we should practice the silent listening of meditation to make the decision to alter our practice or to continue with it, and the way to discover the will of the infinite Creator is to have faith that there is a deeper path for us to follow that may be traveled in a roundabout fashion, but all paths will eventually lead us to the Love of the Creator. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that we cannot damage our path because our experience will give us constant indications of how to use our catalyst to move quickly on our path or to rest for a while because it is acceptable to travel our path in any emotional weather. On August 30, 1981, Hatonn said that all paths change, but meditation can lead us to the one infinite Creator:

In short, may we say, it is your choice to pursue your path and there is nothing but the one path that you pursue and we would suggest, if we might, that within the depths of your being you are quite aware of the path that you pursue, and in meditation you shall discover the path upon which you wish to tread. Do not be concerned if from time to time the path appears to change. We would suggest that the path is long, and the path is one, and your journey on that path can yield nothing but success, for all paths lead to the one infinite Creator.

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

(Jim channeling)

We are those of Q’uo, and we greet each of you again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time we would ask if there are further queries to which we may attempt to speak?

R: Could you give me a suggestion as to how I can maintain the silence when I sit down to meditate?

When we are asked to join any entity such as yourself in the meditative state it is our ability and our honor to attempt to blend our vibrations with yours in a fashion which tends to reduce the peaks and valleys of alertness, the beta waves of your brain’s working. This allows the perceived environment to move by your notice in a much more peaceful fashion. It is as though we were taken upon the back of your brain activity and given the opportunity to ride the waves, bringing each more nearly to the point of harmony or that which would be seen as more of a ripple than a wave in the physical sense.

When we do this blending of vibrations we tend to work from the violet ray or crown chakra down to the heart chakra and work with the reservoir of accumulated love that is the essence of your being by blending our love vibrations with yours and aiding the opening of the meditative state or the reduction of the conscious state. We then hope to offer a more calm and peaceful environment in which you may practice of the one infinite Creator. The responsibility that you and we share in this blending of vibrations is the responsibility to use this blending in service to others. Whatever essence or kernel of love you may feel and connections you may make in your own understanding is a fruit, shall we say, that may be of service to others as you put it to work in your own life pattern. The same is true for us.

Is there a further query?

B: I want to know how to deal with a person at work that I often seem to battle with. How do I keep from battling?

I am Q’uo, and we may comment. We are aware that this other person wishes to be confrontive and gain the upper hand in each encounter so that there is a system of dominance established, and when you are required to be in this entity’s presence it is difficult to refrain from engaging in the conflict which this entity appears to enjoy with not only yourself but others as well. There are many, many kinds of personalities which have formed around free will and individual expression of this will. It is inevitable that there will be conflict and confusion, for the free will expression of personal identity is an activity that third-density entities are liable to use with or without discrimination and yet the expression of this free will is central to all choices made and most importantly central to the choice of polarity that is the gift of this density. Thus, each entity is in its own way attempting to carve out that vehicle of personality that shall carry it to those places it wishes to go.

There is, however, as you are well aware with acute sensitivities intact, much of friction or wasted energy it would seem that occurs when entities inhabit an area of work that is the place where the personality shall find its fullest play, and the play of more than one personality conflicts with others. This is the very stuff of your density, my brother, for whether the interactions are long or short, intense or not, there is always the opportunity to give love for whatever is received from another, each instance offering a certain degree of difficulty, yours being more challenging than most for you at this time. Yet we can assure each entity that each personality and opportunity to interact with them is given in a way that is possible to achieve, to give love rather than conflict. We can only suggest to each entity that the meditative state be used as often as possible in order to return one’s own desires and intentions to the proper tuning.

[Tape change. During this time, Q’uo finished the previous answer and B asked another question.]

(Jim channeling)

As you have observed previously this day it is difficult to be vulnerable. When one is wishing to give love and acceptance in place of any conflict offered to the self, one is placing oneself in a vulnerable position, for there is not the attempt made to protect. To protect is the more common or natural response from entities who are working their way towards understanding. It is not easy, as you are well aware, yet it is always possible and it is for the possibility of such a breakthrough that such efforts are made.

Is there a further query?

B: Sometimes I wish to serve and find no one to serve. It is very frustrating. Do you ever find yourself in such a position?

I am Q’uo: We have felt great desire, as have you, to be of service to others. However, we are somewhat more accomplished at feeling the opportunities and answering in a manner which is appropriate, for it is always possible for us to simply send the vibrations of love, light, and healing to those who are in pain and who call for such healing with their anguish. It is not so easy for you to do this, yet it is also possible if this is a ministry that one would wish to take upon one’s shoulders.

There are many entities that one meets in the daily round of activities and even the smallest smile or offer of assistance can mean much to any entity. To give even the smallest amount of time and energy to another is to assist. To wish to assist is to lighten the vibrations of this planet by the simple desire to serve another in love rather than to bring difficulty and grief to another through machinations of the mind and the random thoughts that accompany such random desire. Thus, the tuning of one’s own mind/body/spirit complex in the desire to be of service to others is in itself and in its essence a service. Where there is desire to serve, there is always the opportunity to serve.

Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful, as always, to have been with each entity this day in this circle of seeking. We feel that when the queries are from the heart the depth and power with which the desire to know is enhanced. And we are grateful to each for allowing us to be a part of this most personal sharing of concerns, ideas, inspirations, and confusions, for all of these are a part of the one Creator in each entity. Each entity has a portion of a great puzzle, and when we come together in sessions such as this we see and feel and are much more than any individualized portion that we were before. For this opportunity to grow and to serve we thank you with all of our hearts. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I put the Pondfix solution in the fishpond to enhance the water clarity. The water level in the pond continues to be at the normal level, so I am hoping that it will stay there. Then I filled my two hummingbird feeders with new sugar syrup, and then I went across the road to my neighbor’s yard and filled her two hummingbird feeders with new sugar syrup. Then I drove down to Glenview Trust for my yearly meeting with them to discuss our recent life experiences, and then discuss my portfolio.

This afternoon I used my backpack blower to blow the Tulip Poplar leaves from my yard and my neighbor’s yard into a pile, and then I filled three garbage cans for yard waste pickup next Thursday. I also trimmed low-hanging limbs in the back yard and side yard and put them into two garbage cans.

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

September 10

Your Essence Is Spirit

I am the Comforter, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love. May peace fall like dew upon you this day, no matter what the outer situation.

May you experience, and continue to experience, the inner peace which no disaster of humankind can destroy.

Within the Father’s Love there is a peace which comes from eternity and which is the vehicle for your own imperishable spirit. Rest quietly in the knowledge of that peace, no matter how quickly you run, no matter how many tangles of human relationships you encounter.

Touch always the peace within, for the Comforter does not fail. It is only those whose hearts are puzzled and befuddled by that which occurs that are not able to hear words of comfort and to feel the presence of that peace which passeth all understanding.

We feel that it would help each if each would think of itself not as one attempting to be a spiritual being but as one who is, in essence, Spirit. That being accepted, the point of view may shift so that the spiritual door may be opened to peace more easily, and the hubbub and turmoil of a wrangling world may be set off from you by the buffer of comfort, peace, and faith.

For we are of the principle of Jesus the Christ. We are of the Spirit of living Love. And we are eternal, as are you, and exist only to interact with you in positive ways that bring each spirit more and more light and less and less confusion.

We leave you in peace, both 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 14, 1996:

Each of us here is a seeker, and we would like to do whatever is necessary to make the harvest by being of service to others in whatever way necessary. We would like to know what the steps or stages are that are necessary to make the harvest and for walking the path of the seeker of truth. And where does this desire to walk the path and be a seeker of truth come from?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle of Q’uo. Greetings to each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is our privilege and our blessing to be called to this circle of seeking, and we thank each who has allowed us to come to share our thoughts with you at this time. As always, we ask that it be remembered that we are not infallible, that we are not all-wise, that we are not authorities, but travelers on that path with no steps that is the spiritual path. And so we ask that each respect his and her personal truth and take those thoughts of ours which seem good to you, leaving the rest behind without a second thought, for each seeker has within that compass that tells when the direction is right, and we ask each to use that discrimination and that guidance and to trust that feeling within, not any authority, for each is the authority of his own path. Each is truly the captain of her own ship in an ocean whose tides are not known and upon which there is no land. Each spiritual seeker sets out upon a voyage of discovery. And yet each island of truth, each continent of discovery, is within the seeker. The journey across perilous waters is an illusion necessary because all within third density dwell within a heavy illusion and the way to grasp the nature of that illusion and to use it is also illusion, for is not all the shadow of one great original Truth: Love—that which is ever unmanifest, invisible, ungraspable, unprovable. Such is the nature of the spiritual journey.

This day you have asked for our thoughts on what are the steps for achieving harvest, the harvest of third density, those specks of light which we have talked about. How can seekers learn to bear the intensity and fullness of the light that illumines fourth-density illusion, for you see all within our grasp is illusion, yet each harvest delivers the seeker into an illusion that is fuller of Light, that light which is the first manifestation of Love. So when we say that all is illusion this is not to suggest that there is a way out of illusion. No, rather we suggest and encourage each to contemplate the seeking of that illusion which contains that fullness of Light which can be accepted and borne through the circumstances of each day, each hour, and each moment.

This instrument was saying earlier that none is worthy, and the one known as Tom suggested that all are worthy. And we say to you that as with all paradoxes this is the mark of the spiritual, this is a sign of the metaphysical: paradox and puzzlement—for each statement is quite true to the best of our knowledge. No one is “worthy” if worthy means that one has accomplished a certain number of understandings so that one is able to pass the final test. None, by learning, no matter how abstruse, shall be able to accept fullness of light through knowledge. None is worthy to enter into fuller experience and larger life by what striving that entity has done. It is also very important that each realize that beyond and throughout all illusions that each entity is perfect. Each entity is loved by the Creator. Every iota of flesh, every thought, every emotion is loved, accepted and forgiven by Love Itself. So there the human experience balances between complete unworth and complete worth. Between is that pathless path which each seeker treads.

As we speak to this instrument, we ask each to breath deeply, feeling that inspiration, that life that dwells in each breath. And as each breathes out, let that life that is given back be felt. As each breathes in each breathes that which the trees and the plants have given, and as each breathes out each is giving to the atmosphere that which feeds second density plants, trees and so forth. There is a depth of interconnectedness between third and second density, and in between all second density entities that articulates without words the way of service.

Indeed, do plants consider themselves other than trees? Do trees consider themselves other than animals? And so forth. Indeed, these entities for the most part know only that all is well and that all will be well. And instinct, growth, and desire for the Light lead each into the paths of living and of releasing that Light. It can be, although it is not often, the same for third-density entities, and for a lucky few the instinct to serve and live by faith is such that there is not the need or the use of the so-called spiritual seeking. But for the great, great majority of those who enter third density there is a tremendous need to find the path that is one’s own, that speaks to the feelings within.

We said earlier that your density is one of illusion, and indeed each has that garment of flesh that carries about the consciousness that is infinite and eternal. While this consciousness dwells within the physical vehicle each has one great gift which overshadows all other gifts, and that is the gift of what has been called presence. Each is aware that he or she is conscious. This self-awareness opens a door which, once opened, cannot be traversed in reverse. The door shuts upon those who have been awakened to the call of their deeper nature.

Now, not all entities are on a consciously spiritual sojourn. Not all entities are ready to awaken into the responsibility of knowing that they are spiritual beings, and that they wish to accelerate the rate of their spiritual learning or evolution. For those who are asleep we ask each to rest easy. There is a time and a season for each entity, and when that time comes that entity shall awaken. That entity shall begin to investigate what is true, what is real, where he is, and where he is going.

For those who have come to this realization, for those who have embarked upon that journey from which there is no return, we say to you that your greatest gift, your most precious gift, is your incarnation. Each of you has chosen to be in this illusion at this time in order to learn and in order to serve. These two are interconnected, two sides of one coin, the being and the doing. The attention so often is on what one is doing, where is the ministry? What do I do to be more spiritual? And yet, it is the sheer identity of each that is the great gift each has to offer this dear planet upon which you enjoy incarnation at this time.

The group question for this session was: “We would like to know what the steps or stages are that are necessary to make the harvest and for walking the path of the seeker of truth. And where does this desire to walk the path and be a seeker of truth come from?” Q’uo began by saying that all of the creation is an illusion, but the serving of others may be accomplished by seeking the portions of the illusion that contain the greatest portions of Light that may be carried within one throughout the day. Q’uo continued by saying that there is a paradox to the seeker being both worthy in that it is a perfect being loved, accepted, and forgiven by the Creator, and it is also unworthy in that no amount of information collected by the intellect will allow passing of the final test of accepting the fullness of the Light through the knowledge of the intellect. Then Q’uo said that for a very few entities there was no need for the spiritual path because they felt the unity with all of the plants and animals of nature and shared their knowing that all is well, but the great majority of entities needed to find their own spiritual path that spoke to the needs of their being. They continued by saying that all live within the illusion of the body which carries the consciousness that is infinite and eternal, and this self-consciousness opens a door within to accelerate the rate of their spiritual evolution. They said that our great gift was our incarnation that we are using in order to learn and to serve, to be and to do, and it is this identity that we have chosen to manifest in our incarnation that is our gift to our planet. On July 23, 1989, Q’uo spoke of how our self-consciousness allows us to learn how to be of service to others:

When one first comes into the realization of one’s own self-consciousness as being something more than the brain of an animal which carries you around, each responds by moving towards knowledge, seeking to know the answers to questions. Where one begins seeking is largely a matter of free will, for in few cases do the very young remember anything of the undistorted images of light which express a spiritual entity. So, each of you has planned before this incarnation, with the aid of the higher self, those things which are needed to be learned within the incarnation.

Now, each of you also came primarily to serve, and by focusing daily upon the Creator, you have served and served well. And each moment that you spend consciously aware of your relationship with the Creator is a moment in which the consciousness of the planet upon which you abide is served. You have no clear idea of the kind of light source that you can truly be and that each of you is from time to time.

Let us look at what we mean by consciousness, what we mean by presence. Consciousness is, in truth, consciousness of Love, for Love and the distortions of Love is all that there is. Each then has a native vibration that is completely congruent with the Logos that created and formed all the millions of infinite universes. And each, through the process of taking on an incarnation has, shall we say, signed up for a difficult yet rewarding term of service.

That consciousness, then, that some have called Christ consciousness or cosmic consciousness, dwells within that vessel of skin and bones, muscles and thoughts. Each rattles around in this somewhat alien configuration, a spirit trapped, or just visiting. Most entities spend some time feeling very trapped, and yet this is an opportunity you wished for very much. This was a trip you planned for, setting up for yourself relationships that would help to focus your own heart and mind upon those lessons of Love you yourself deemed to be the most telling and critical for you at this point. And so, the basic vibration of each is Love itself, distorted, contracted, controlled, shall we say, by the various ways which, by free will, the entity has chosen to limit or shape consciousness.

The way to climb the steps of light to a fullness that is fourth density is actually not to take on learning but to release learning, to release those strictures of contraction which you have placed upon consciousness in order to defend the self. When entities pull themselves away from the fully open heart it is usually not from a motive of anger, bitterness or offense, but, rather, it is a move to defend the vulnerable self within. Little by little, then, the path towards graduation into fourth density involves discovering, balancing, and releasing those things from which one pulls back and contracts the self in order to survive.

You see, each is as the note, tone, or complex of tones which makes up an harmonic. Each is a perfect yet unique jewel, a gem with facets that have been cleaned, and polished, and shaped by the tempering of those furnaces which consume distortion. These furnaces burn brightest during times of initiation into lessons when all seems dark and there is challenge and struggle within. In these times we say to you, “Rejoice, for you have joined forces with your destiny. You have come to a time of transformation. Take courage and know that sorrow, sadness, suffering, and grief, anger, rage, disappointment, and all the negative emotions that are felt are gifts which hold in their hands hours of despair, days, months, even years of isolation and pain and tempering.” The oven of the alchemist is one designed to refine gold, to cleanse from it those things which are not gold. You may see the alchemical process working with consciousness as that refining fire in which dross is burned away, leaving that precious original Thought, pure, shining and untouched. You carry within you the sea of consciousness. All that there is, is within you. All that you seek lies waiting to be rediscovered.

Now, the third density lessons are lessons in love, lessons in connecting with other entities in loving ways. When one has spiritually awakened one becomes aware of a world suffering, an enormous cry of pain that is all about one, that not only exists within the self but is found whenever the entity reaches out here or there. Touch that place. Gaze into that interest, and you will find that the human heart has suffered there too, and in this suffering all are one, just as all are one in the perfect joy and peace of Love. And so, each seeker dances amid distortions, choosing whenever possible to find the Love that is there.

Each hopes to serve, and we assure you that this is both simple and nearly impossible. It is simple in that simply by being who you are you are expressing love, for that is all that can be expressed. The question is always, “How shall I give love?” And we say to you that if you attempt to give love of yourself with your own energies you shall quickly run out of love, for it is in short supply within your illusion. However, it is not necessary for any to give love from the self. It is only necessary that the one who seeks to serve move the self out of the way of that Love which comes in infinite supply from the one Creator.

That Love can be poured through the instrument that is open and empty, and the world shall feel that light and shall not know whence it comes. Yet the one who is able to be a witness of Light, the one who is able, if you will, to be a channel of Love, that effort and that desire to serve has reached its greatest apex. If one wishes then to accelerate the speed or rate at which one evolves spiritually then one simply attempts to spend time and attention on Love in daily meditation, listening to the silence within. One enters the inner sanctum of one’s own heart, and one feeds there on that life-giving water that ends thirst. And as one becomes able to, one attempts more and more to see each moment as a moment in the silence, to see that all is perfect beneath that surface noise and confusion that characterize mortal, humankind.

We find that this instrument wishes to be politically correct and so we are attempting to remember both sexes in what we say, but we must say that your language is not very well formed for this, so please pardon our many stumblings as we attempt to find a word that indicates that male and female alike are one with the infinite Creator.

Now, service to others is, again, as always, paradoxical, for if one serves others is not one serving the self, and vice versa? Perhaps one way to think about serving others is to ask the self to wait, to listen, and to become aware in more and more fullness of what that other entity desires. And when one wishes to serve that entity then one asks the self, “How can I express love in serving this entity?” There are many times when the only way to express love is to be silent, and in that situation that is the most loving thing to do. Where there is perhaps a request from another, then one simply responds to that request as best as one can.

This willingness to take time to listen to another is in itself a service, and we encourage each to open those inward ears that hear what that consciousness is saying upon the level of depth at which the self and the other are most truly expressing, for some request those things which seem fair but which, within the self, are found to be wanting, and in those situations one serves best by turning to prayer to find acceptance and love.

We give this instrument the vision of the starry skies in midsummer on a clear, clear night. As you breath in, you breathe in the universe, and as you breathe out, you create it again. Each is so precious. Each so beloved. Feel that rightness, that perfection that is the basis of consciousness. Breathe in and feel the heart expand. Breathe out and feel that Love pour through. You are the Light of the world. You are the Creator’s hands, the Creator’s voices.

Then Q’uo said that our consciousness is the Love of the Logos that created all that there is, and that we have become distorted, contracted, and controlled by the various ways which we have chosen to use our free will to limit or shape our consciousness. They said that the way to reach the fourth density is to release the way we have learned to contract our consciousness in order to defend ourselves because we are a uniquely perfect jewel with facets that have been cleaned and polished by the fires of initiation involving anger, suffering, and grief which then become gifts that burn away these distortions and leave the original Thought of Love for us to rediscover. Q’uo went on to say that we all suffer, and we choose to see Love in that suffering whenever possible, and the way that we can serve others the best is to share the Love of the Creator with them. Then Q’uo said that when we use meditation, we are able to enter the holy sanctum of our heart to become a witness of the Light and a channel for Love, and then we can see that each moment in this silence is perfect and exists beneath the confusion of the world of illusion. Q’uo said that we can most often be of service to others by determining what it is that they need from us, and sometimes the best way to express our love is simply to be silent and to listen with our inner ears to hear what consciousness is saying at the depths of both of our beings. Then they said that sometimes what is requested as our service seems to lack the feeling of rightness, so then we should rely on prayer to find acceptance and love. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we should feel our consciousness as the Creator by breathing in the universe, and then breathe out and create it again because we are the Light of the world, the Creator’s hands, and the Creator’s voices. On March 27, 1978, Oxal said that each of us is the Light of the world:

Remember, my friends, you are the light of the world, as are all those who have consciousness of what you would call Christ, or Creator, or Love. Call it what you will; there is no difference. It is a feeling we are a magnetism of Love that permeates those who seek it. Take confidence, and forgive all those mistakes you may make. Each day try again, and each day you will gain. Each day is a fork in the road. Keep your eyes open, my friends. One road is lighter than the rest. Yet, whatever road you are on, you are the Light.

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

(Jim channeling)

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

Carla: I have two questions from P. She would like to know if she and the child will be all right, and what she should do regarding waiting for the natural birth of the child and risk her own health, or whether she should do as the doctors suggest and give birth now by C-section and reduce the risk to both her and her child. She is grateful for anything that you can tell her.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We send our love and our greetings to the one known as P and to the life that grows within her and readies its entrance into this illusion. It will not be a surprise to any that we cannot directly address this query with a specific response concerning the choices that the one known as P is faced with making, for to so choose for another would be to learn for another and affect that entity’s discrimination and future in a fashion which is not truly of service when seen from the metaphysical point of view.

From this same point of view it may be said with certainty that the one known as P and her child are well and will be well for all is truly of the one Creator, and the will of the one Creator works its way into each entity’s incarnation in a fashion which is appropriate for that entity and which is in accordance with that entity’s choices, both previous to the incarnation and made during the incarnation.

The one known as P faces a great challenge in her incarnation, one which is at the core of her very being. The blending of one’s vibrations with another to the point of bringing a new life into this illusion and becoming the guiding force in this new life’s experience. This is never an easy choice for any, for the responsibility is great. Yet with such great responsibility come also those rewards which are beyond enumeration.

We would recommend that all who feel concern and love for the one known as P send this love upon the wings of thought, which binds all things together as one being, to this entity that she might be inspired by this support. We encourage the one known as P to retire within itself to that sacred room in meditation where she can feel and experience the presence of the one Creator, that she may rest within this presence and be nourished by it in her time of need. That after resting there, that she ask the questions of her heart within this sacred presence, and feel the response growing within her as certainly as does the life force grows within the child that grows within her now.

Each entity may take refuge in this sacred room and feel the presence of the one Creator there. Within this sacred room there is protection; there is love; there is light; there is unity; and there is direction through the maze of choices that this illusion offers that both confuses and illuminates, that opens doors and shuts doors. Within this sacred room there is the clear inspiration of the one Creator which moves through each entity’s life patterns, for the most part unnoticed because ignored. If entities seek regularly within this place of unity, there is support and direction.

We cannot speak more specifically but can send our love to this entity as well, and this we do.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: Yes. Thank you on behalf of P. As for myself, I thought you would answer the first question by suggesting ways of increasing one’s polarity to gain harvest, but you concentrated on one’s being and on serving when one is asked. I wondered if you could comment on that? Is it necessary to try to serve more or want to serve more?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Each seeker previous to the incarnation has laid a plan or created a pattern, shall we say, that will encompass all such steps that are necessary to be traversed for the harvest. The desire to seek and to follow this path is thus a gift of the self to the self. Each portion of the one Creator seeks to become one again with the one Creator. Thus, this basic desire is embellished in a fashion that is in accordance with the desires of the entity that has become individualized to the extent that it is able to choose its own path. Thus, during the incarnation it is well if one attempts to be oneself, to be that pattern, to be that choice, to be true to the self, for the self to which you are true is the greater self, the higher self that has laid the path before you in a fashion which allows for the free will interpretation of many, many details and yet which assures each entity that the path has been laid and laid clearly.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

B: Yes. I have a question concerning the Law of Responsibility. I am confused by the concept of forgiveness. My experience teaches me that forgiveness has many strings attached to it. Could you give me a higher perspective on forgiveness?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. To forgive is, shall we say, to give love for whatever has been given to you. Thus, there is no condition other than a relationship and an interaction between entities. The desire to forgive is enough with which to begin. If one places conditions upon the forgiveness then one is beginning in a fashion which will yet require refinement, for to truly forgive another one must erase all conditions. There is the giving of freedom by removing conditions, the allowing and accepting of free will by removing conditions. The gift freely given is the one with the greatest value, shall we say.

Thus, if you are able to wipe the slate clean within your own heart and mind, then you have truly forgiven. There is much of one’s own experience of being forgiven that conditions one as to what it is to forgive and to be forgiven. If you feel that you have accepted another’s definition that no longer fits that which you wish in your own life pattern, then you are free to construct your own definition and to put it into exercise by applying wherever appropriate. And we are aware that within your illusion there is much opportunity for practice.

Is there another query, my brother?

B: No. Thank you, Q’uo.

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

Questioner: [Inaudible]

I am Q’uo, and we would be glad to entertain one or two more queries before closing this session of working, if there are any further queries.

T: How may I best be of service to my son in raising him so that I do not interfere in his spiritual path and yet teach him what I know in the spirit of love and guidance for whatever is best for him?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We have found that it is well in teaching another who seeks your assistance to first set the pattern of your own behavior in a fashion which exemplifies the basic principles which you wish to share. In this instance we feel that you desire to share in large part the seeking of the one Creator and the serving of that one Creator in all that you see. This shall be the greatest teaching to the young entity: that which he observes in the daily round of activities shall teach him far more than words and patterned instructions, though words and instruction are indeed important.

It is well to realize that even a small entity is an honored seeker of truth, one who has traveled as many trails as has any, and who seeks within this incarnation to move with you in your seeking and to learn from you. Thus, to observe, support, and appreciate the free will choices that such an entity makes is most important while balancing this appreciation of free will with your own guidance given in a fashion that respects the entity rather than confining without explanation.

This is a great honor and privilege: that of teaching the young child and one which cannot receive too much appreciation from any, for the responsibility is large but, as we have said before, the rewards are as large, at least.

Is there a further query, my brother?

T: No. Thank you for what you have shared.

Q’uo: I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother.

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and as it appears as though we have exhausted the queries for this session of working, we would once again thank each present for inviting our presence this day. We are most gratified to have been able to blend our vibrations with yours and to speak our thoughts and opinions in response to your queries which we have found helpful in our own patterns of seeking.

We would at this time 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. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I had one of my bi-annual appointments with my rheumatologist to go over my latest labs and basic body movements to be sure that I am still in good shape, and she complimented me on my physical exercise practices and said that I was doing a good job of keeping in shape. On the way home I stopped at Whole Foods to buy some Choc-Zero milk chocolates.

This afternoon I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves out of the Moss Garden, and then I used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden, and then I continued using my trimmer to walk around the side yard and around the fishpond to weed different areas in preparation for cutting the grass later this week. As I mentioned yesterday, I have been keeping an eye on the water level of the fishpond, and I can’t see any dropping of the water level. It looks like things are back to normal for now at least.

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

Each Is Your Brother

I am the spirit of the living Christ which speaks to the world this day, greeting you in the full consciousness of divine Love.

The many preparatory and studious engagements of those serious, spiritual seekers who labor to learn the Love of the Christ are well meant and may yet yield fruit. Yet, paradoxically, it is not the one always who strives the hardest, thinks the most or works more laboriously than others to whom the inspiration, the Love, and the clarity of vision that infinite Love offers, comes.

Many times it is the one who is unassuming and humble, who accepts the basic unworthiness of free will while recognizing the necessity of it, who may choose and choose and choose again the way of Love, the way of the Christ.

Therefore, stride self-confidently into the world but be ye humble and not over-assuming, for each entity is likewise the Father within, just as you are. Each is your brother. Each is your sister. None contains that which you do not contain. Sometimes it is possible to try too hard to be loving and blessed, sanctified, and giving. Relax into the rhythm of spontaneous service and life shall become merry and light.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 31, 1996:

Our question this afternoon has to do with our tapes, our individual behavior patterns that we notice, hopefully, at some point in the life experience. They, we think, have something to do with what we are here to learn. And we were wondering if Q’uo could give us some sort of idea about how these behavior patterns work, how we set them up. Most importantly, how do we recognize them? And how do we begin to change them if we feel that change is a good thing to do?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. It is such a pleasure to respond to your call for our thoughts at this working, and we thank you most gratefully for this privilege. To blend our vibrations with yours is a precious experience, and to be able to share our opinions with those who seek the truth is a great privilege, and you offer us great service allowing us to attempt to serve you. As always, we ask that your powers of discrimination guide your intake of our thoughts or any thoughts. Listen to no man’s truth except your own, for each seeker there is but one path. That path is ready, prepared and waiting, but it is an individual path. It may be in concert with others, in harmony with others, or quite different than others, yet it is unique. And we encourage each to listen to the promptings of that inner recognition that is almost like remembering something already known. Thoughts that do not have this ring of personal truth we ask each to lay aside.

This day you wish to discuss the tapes that play in the mind when things occur in the outer manifestation. You wish to know where these tapes come from and how to deal with them. Before we move into detail, we wish to establish our picture of the third-density experience because there are two sorts of ways we wish to discuss which can work on these tapes. Each has value, but each is a separate resource from the other.

Our model of the experience of humankind upon third-density Earth is that of the second density physical vehicle with an instinctual life of its own which carries a consciousness that preceded the first spark of life within that physical vehicle and that lives on into infinity after the expiration of the physical vehicle’s second-density life. This image of the so-called naked ape carrying truth, love, and infinite values is a useful model because it offers a way in which to think about the human experience of the self that is in the world but not of the world.

This is the spiritual truth for all within third density. These physical vehicles you now enjoy are native to a particular time and a particular place. The consciousness they carry has no address and is a citizen of the universe and a child of the infinite Creator. This being said, we may gaze first at the way in which the so-called tapes are prepared and have their being.

When the physical vehicle emerges from the womb, the consciousness within it is mature, responsible, and has a fair degree of crystallization. However, the infant physical vehicle is helpless, helpless to communicate its thoughts and concepts, helpless to take care of itself. This infant being is utterly dependent upon others for its survival. And when the tapes are made, they are made by very young entities who perceive that the way to more healthy survival is to heed and to react to certain key stimuli that are repeated again and again in the small life experience of the young one.

The world of this young being considers those who provide the necessity of life to be, shall we say, titanic or god-like. Therefore, instinctively, the young mind stores information of things that have aided comfort and continued survival. Often perceiving difficulties where none actually exist and not perceiving where the difficulties are coming from in reality, the young self begins more and more to distort the incoming data and sense impressions because triggers, as it were, have been laid into certain thought and speech patterns. The mind of second density files away all information concerning survival and keeps it at the ready in order to enhance each opportunity to respond in a timely manner to that which affects survival.

The consciousness that this struggling young physical vehicle carries may have almost no relationship to the self that is attempting to survive, or the consciousness and the second-density mind may be very close. Various entities bring various characters and what you call the personality with them. However close or distant that relationship is, in general, it is not feasible to the younger entity to ask the consciousness within to affect the second-density mind. The work of that path is considerably different from the first way of working with these crystallizations or tapes. The way of the mind from second density, then, is our first target for finding a resource. That resource is locked within memory. Whatever the distortion, whatever the tape that is being played, observation will gradually inform the entity who seeks the solution to these discordant tapes.

There is a specific beginning to each crystallization, a certain trigger, if you will, that begins the tape. What triggers the distorted reaction may be usefully noted and over a period of your time you may build intelligence concerning each tape or crystallization. Then the goal of this second-density mind is simply to move back and further back until the original experience which started the distortion at the young and tender age is exposed. When the root of the distortion is uncovered, it will often have a phrase or a sentence that the seeker gradually learns to identify. These are the triggers and by moving back into those first experiences, those crystallizing, tightening, hardening, shielding reactions, and it is possible to encapsulate those distortion roots, and by mechanical redirection of thought when the triggers are recognized, gradually remove the distortion from the interior tape library, if you will.

This form of work is exacting, largely intellectual and often very useful. Even though the work requires intellectual analysis and would seem to remain upon the surface, it is possible to move into an aura or atmosphere within which the brain chooses to move into the untying of knots, the releasing of strictures, and when these are done even intellectually, the emotional release is often great. So, there are these things which the seeker can do, simply by sharing with another or with the self, those moments of unguarded reaction that tell the tale of where this crystallized, fear-driven tightness has its roots, and from where it distorts experience.

This is painstaking work and work often better done under some direction from another, for the intellect is almost inevitably blind-sided by the depth of self-awareness. It is difficult to stand outside the self and see that self whole. Thusly, we encourage those contemplations when it is desired to work upon a particular tape, spending time and attention looking into what is felt and what is thought, as well as what is heard on that tape. We suggest working with another simply to regularize the process of following the truth within these examinations. One outside the self may quite often speak very little, but move a wandering thought back into the path that will lead to a greater grasp of what survival issue drove the self to build this distortion system in the first place.

The group question concerned tapes, or individual behavior patterns, and: “We were wondering if Q’uo could give us some sort of idea about how these behavior patterns work, how we set them up. Most importantly, how do we recognize them? And how do we begin to change them if we feel that change is a good thing to do?” Q’uo said that there were two ways to discuss these behavior patterns, and they wanted to start by giving their way of looking at humankind on third-density Earth as being that of the second-density ape which carries around the consciousness which is a citizen of the universe and a child of the infinite Creator. Q’uo went on to say that when the physical body is born it has a relatively mature consciousness, but it is unable to communicate and unable to take care of itself. They continued by saying it must depend upon others to care for it, and it is at this time that it begins to make tapes that record how to be comfortable and achieve survival, but often it sees problems where there are none or misperceives the source of problems that do exist. Then Q’uo said that the consciousness may not have a close relationship with the second-density being that is struggling to survive, or it may be that there is a close relationship between the consciousness and this being, but whatever the relationship it is not feasible for the young being to ask the consciousness to affect its second-density mind.  Q’uo said that it was possible for the second-density mind to travel back in its memory to those experiences that are:  “the triggers of difficulties, experiences, those crystallizing, tightening, hardening, shielding reactions, and it is possible to encapsulate those distortion roots, and by mechanical redirection of thought when the triggers are recognized, gradually remove the distortion from the interior tape library, if you will.” They went on to say that this kind of work is often intellectual analysis in nature, but it can untie knots of confusion and difficulty and can create great emotional release from pain. Q’uo suggested that it was often very helpful to spend time in contemplation of the depth of what is heard, and felt, and thought upon this tape. They also said that it would be helpful to work with another person that might simply offer an occasional thought as to what survival issue drove the self to build this distortion system in the first place. On September 17, 2003, Q’uo spoke about how our tapes reveal hidden information about ourselves:

The challenge of forgiving the self, then, is not an individual challenge based upon those items which remain unforgiven. For there is always that which is unforgiven, since it has not yet been discovered. No matter how many times you as an entity are triggered by fear and the working of, what this instrument would call, old tapes that have to play within the head once they are started, of the old, unforgiving voices of authority within childhood which somehow have become the interior voices of self, there remains something as yet undiscovered that will, one fine day, rear up out of the sunlight and astonish you with the depth of your imperfection. And you will, once again, be offered the choice of judgment or forgiveness of the self. We do not discourage the faculties of review or oversight. It is perfectly acceptable and useful to critique the self and to say, “I would prefer I had not done this,” or “I would prefer I had done this, and yet I have not.” These perceived errors are very helpful because they help the entity you are to behave better.

This is one resource, and it works at that level which is conscious and full of mind. There is a way to work upon these same experiences from the standpoint of consciousness, that consciousness which is your infinite and eternal Self which has only adopted a manifested symbol of self for a little while. That self that is truly you connects into the deep mind of the second-density mind, that perfectly good biocomputer which makes the choices that improve chances of survival.

The entry into individual expression of Love that is each questing itself is that which can be trusted. There is a true engagement of consciousness to this spark of flesh that houses it. It is secure, and it represents a vast foray of awareness that is not thought-driven, but is rather driven by Love, with Love, to Love, for Love’s sake. Unlike the individual with the delineated face and body and ways of speaking, there are no set limits to self at the level of consciousness. The program, shall we say, of that infinite self is non-logical, nonintellectual, nonphysical. It is as that which sings the tune. It is that bell which is struck, and when struck rings in a certain combination of tones that is unique to the self, that has evolved itself within your infinite consciousness. Unlike the mind of second density which accretes knowledge and holds it against further need, the self’s infinite mind simply moves between the various—the closest word you have is “emotions.” There are true states of emotions that have purity and clarity, and the self that is the citizen of the stars swims within this infinite sea of feeling, and that which is felt is automatically seen with thanksgiving for this is the way of Love itself.

This consciousness does not work upon a particular tape or a particular problem. One could look at this consciousness that is infinite as a metaprogram that the computer that is the living mind can access by opening certain doors between the conscious and deep mind. Each is familiar with our constant recommendations for periods of meditation and contemplation within each daily period. Within those times of silence within, the Creator speaks those words that have no words, those thoughts that have no concept. And yet, because they move from Love itself, when invited they come into the interior conscious life with healing in their hands.

We cannot say enough about silence. The silence within is a precious gift that you give yourself. When you open to the presence of the one infinite Creator, wonderful life-enhancing energies can flow into the sore and aching cracks and crevices of the conscious life, offering that strength that is Love, offering that higher and deeper truth that is Love, offering a larger and yet again larger perspective, for that is the way of Love.

We hope you are very charitable to yourself and do give yourself that wonderful endowment of time to be still and know that the place whereon you stand is truly holy ground.

Now Q’uo said that there was another way to deal with the creation of tapes that play the difficulties of one’s life experience, and that was to have our infinite consciousness contact our second-density mind’s deeper levels which makes choices to improve the chances of survival so that the Love of consciousness engages the physical body that houses it, and causes it to feel its own limitless being, and then it can move between the emotions of purity and clarity as it swims within the infinite sea of Love. Then Q’uo said that this type of consciousness could activate a metaprogram that the computer that is the living mind can access by opening certain doors between the conscious and deep mind. Then Q’uo recommended that meditation be used to contact the Creator that speaks in thoughts too deep for words which are able to provide the healing hands of a larger perspective, a higher and deeper truth that is Love, and we see that the place whereon we stand is holy ground. On April 2, 2016, Q’uo described the nature of the holy ground:

The meditative state is that place wherein you tabernacle with the most high, the holy of holies within your holy ground. Go, therefore, you, to this ground and seek the answers that are most important to you. Do not attempt to decide with your mental faculties important questions of spiritual nature. Go there within to the heart of your being to find those answers there in the meditative state.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We thank this instrument and leave it in love and in light. We are 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 you for any further queries which those present may have to offer us. Is there a query at this time?

B: Hi, Q’uo. I have a question related to a [inaudible] experience. I would ask that you provide some insight into [inaudible]. I’ve noticed in my experience working with an individual who seems to have an effect upon me [inaudible] to the point where I feel physically. I was wondering if you could comment on this experience?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There are those comments which we may make and those which we must refrain from making in order to assure the integrity of your free will. Firstly, your ability to give and to receive the energy-filled love is that which you have begun to discover in your own experience. There is the necessity upon your part to continue to investigate the nature of this ability, for it is at present functioning at a level which far exceeds your grasp of it, and this is something that does have an effect upon you. We may also suggest that the suggestions that have been made to you previous to this session’s beginning may prove of assistance in a practical manner.

Yet, to these suggestions we would add that any action taken needs to have two prerequisites, shall we say: that the desire to seek be honed in your meditations; that you seek within your meditation to understand not with the mind alone, but also with the heart, the nature of this experience which you share with another.

The second suggestion follows closely upon the first, that being that any action be built upon the foundation of heart-felt love, for this is not only the greatest protection for any entity, but is also the greatest healing effect that one can provide for the self or another. It is helpful in all third-density experiences to attempt to grasp the parameters of the experience and to contemplate and consider carefully the experience which you share, and this we also suggest, but in a role which is subservient to both the meditation and the imbuing with love of all actions considered.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: No, thank you, Q’uo. I feel enormous gratitude.

Q’uo: I am Q’uo, and we also feel the same gratitude for you and your concerns, my brother. Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: Q’uo, I have a question. It’s regarding a problem I have with insomnia. Would you comment on this, I guess, and what causes the problem, what I might do to correct it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother, and in the same vein as that which we have just shared with the one known as B, there are those comments which we may make and those which we may not. Firstly, we would recommend that you consider in the meditative state the components, shall we say, that comprise the problem of being unable to sleep, that is…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We shall continue.That you attempt to discover during the periods where this difficulty in sleeping is most active. What are the components or experiences that accompany and precede the difficulty? Is there a pattern that you can discover that will give an indication of the origin of this difficulty? As a simple and potentially helpful suggestion, we might recommend that, in the short run, while you are investigating the underlying features of this experience, that it might be helpful to include a program of exercise that would bring you to a true physical weariness, to be included at some point in your daily round of activities. That would help the physical vehicle be pointed, shall we say, in the right direction, for in a portion of this problem we see that there is the storing of a certain kind of energy that needs expression so that it does not cause an overactivation of the wakefulness of the mind and body complexes.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Questioner: Thank you, Q’uo. I think that will be helpful.

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

Questioner: I wonder if I could follow K’s question. I’ve heard recently that there’s a switch inside our brain, a sleep switch, and if it’s not switched, you can’t go to sleep regardless of how tired you are. But if it’s switched, you can. I was wondering, why is this valuable? Why is this a part of our nature? Do you have any insight into this, Q’uo?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. It is valuable for entities of your density and others as well to be able to rest the physical vehicle that it might be recharged, shall we say. And in this resting and all other physical functions, there are physical features that are operated, not so much physically perhaps, but by the mental and emotional intentions of each entity. These mental impulses and intentions, however, have the ability to be affected by many different energies and patterns of thinking that make a direct ratio or relationship difficult to describe with precision. Thus, it is helpful to explore those forces that move within one’s being in order that one have a grasp of how the mental, emotional, and physical complexes are interrelated.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you, Q’uo.

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

Questioner: Q’uo, I have one. Q’uo, I have this feeling, impression that [inaudible] I’ve been thinking about asking the question for three weeks [inaudible] meditation group. I wonder if there is some sort of balance achieved when there are a similar number of males and females? If there is… let me back up. Does the number of males imbalance the group [inaudible].

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Firstly, those of Hatonn are always with this group and send their greetings to each, for they are a part of this group. Secondly, the makeup of this group in the male and female energies present is, indeed, affected by the biological nature of the entities present in most cases. However, there are those of the biological male in nature that are also able to offer the female energies, for each entity is working upon an inner balance which will be able to reflect both the male and female energies, that which reaches and that which awaits the reaching.

There are in your culture those forces and habits which are dependably able to cause the biological male to focus primarily on male energies and the biological female to focus primarily on female energies. Thus, the present configuration of this group is indeed swayed in a large extent toward the male energies. This tends to operate in an unseen fashion where metaphysical energies are concerned and not so much in the actual or practical operation and functioning of this group.

Thus, we find that each group presents its own kind of balance of energies, and each is unique in its composition, its interests, desires, and tensions.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Questioner: [Inaudible] this question, it appears that perhaps [inaudible] strike a balance by trying to somehow balance the males and females, because I have a feeling from what you said, it is the intention of the group coming together that counts more than the actual makeup. I’m not very clear on this subject, so if you comment on this, that’s all right, if not [inaudible].

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We do not feel a necessity for there to be an actual balance between the either biological or the metaphysical energies regarding male and female. It is, as you have observed, more important that those who are here are desirous of seeking that which you call the truth and offer themselves in a clear and open fashion in this seeking. In such an environment there is the opportunity for all energies to be nourished in their development, in their movement, and in their ability to blend the personalities of each present into one seeking entity that offers itself in service to others and calls for those such as ourselves to aid in this effort.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Questioner: [Inaudible]

I am Q’uo, and we do indeed smile when we speak to this group, my brother, for we feel that there is underlying each entity’s experience a great joy of being, and we are honored and happy to blend our vibrations with yours in the same seeking.

Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: Q’uo, I’ll venture this question. I’ve written a manuscript. I’ve done a great deal of work. I’m wondering, from your perspective what would you comment about it? Do you see anything that I should reconsider? Is there anything else that should be done with this book? Can you say anything about this?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would not choose to play the part of the technician that would turn one dial up and another down in order to achieve a certain sound. It is rather our estimation of the effort which you have put forth that it has been put forth with a great deal of love and attention to the desire to be of service. This is the critical feature. You have done the equivalent of planting the seed and providing it with water and the appropriate environment in which to grow. We are of the opinion that this is all any can do. That which you have done has been done with an whole heart and is in itself its own reward as far as you are concerned. That it may also be of service to others is a possibility which will become a reality in its own way and in its own time, for there are unseen hands which work to aid each in the service that has been chosen, and the ways of the assistance being put forth are many and mysterious.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Questioner: Would you suggest a publisher that I should try to send the manuscript to, or would this be [inaudible]?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are not able to make such recommendations due to our desire to preserve the free will of not only yourself but of others as well. Thus, we can only recommend that the effort is good.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Questioner: I appreciate that Q’uo. I’m wondering if… in our recent talks we were mentioning first density and second density. I was wondering if there was a quantum change of the Earth between first density and second density, or is this one process that grows out of another due to the necessity to have a new sphere around the Earth? Is there a separate sphere that is formed around the Earth to facilitate second density from first?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There are in truth seven different densities of Earth that are present at all times, though at this time only one through four are in activation, the fourth beginning its activation in a fashion which is perceived by those who are sensitive to these changes in a gradual or step by step fashion, so that there are small indications that are notable as each stage builds upon the last to move the planet itself into a new vibrational frequency.

Is there a final query at this time?

Questioner: If you would, Q’uo, I’d like you to comment on Jesus Christ and why his death is considered a martyrdom. In what exact way was Jesus’ death a service to humanity so that it could be called upon?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We shall attempt to respond to this most thoughtful query by suggesting that the one known as Jesus or Jehoshua was an entity which was able to gain a great deal of understanding of the nature of this illusion in which all which an entity has of a physical, mental, and emotional nature is sacrificed in order that the entity of third density might be reborn to a new level of being. This density was seen by this entity as that which offers itself in sacrifice to all who move through it. All the illusions, the experience and the very fabric of this density exist in order that each entity which moves through it might be able to become transformed by the experience.

Thus, the one known as Jesus wished to offer itself as one who provided a pattern or model of beingness that delineated the nature of sacrifice and transformation, that there was indeed no death which would end the experience of consciousness in this illusion, that there was the possibility of using the illusion about one as a means by which one could give and receive love from all other entities according to the desire or choice made within one’s own being, no matter the circumstances without the self.

Thus, the one known as Jesus was able to offer its own life as an example of the kind of transformation possible for each entity within this illusion. Thus, this entity used the illusion for a greater purpose than becoming any kind of king or power within the illusion. This entity offered a means through the illusion and beyond the illusion as it explored and shared the love of the one Creator in a pure and undistorted fashion.

At this time we feel that we have spoken long enough for the patience and comfort of those present and would thank those present for inviting us to your group once again in your circle of your seeking. We are always honored to do so and would, at this time, take our leave of this instrument, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the ineffable light of the one Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went upstairs and cleaned Benny’s apartment by using the carpet sweeper on the rug in the hall and then sweeping all of the kitty litter from around the two litter boxes in the room where she usually stays in the cat tower. My last job was to use the dust mop to dust each of the three rooms and the hall. Then I ran some errands with my first stop being at The Home Depot to buy another flat of Begonias. My second stop was at Feeder’s Supply to buy more bird seed. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy food for myself. My fourth stop was at Speedway Gas Station to fill Stanley with gas. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy some superglue.

This afternoon I weeded the Tiger Lily patch next to the garage by hand. Then I transplanted the tray of Begonias into the flower garden in the middle of the Moss Garden. Then I refilled the six inches of water, which equals about 200 gallons, that had mysteriously leaked out of the fishpond since I last saw it early this morning, and there was no sign of any water having leaked out of the pond on any side of the pond. I have no idea how this happened, and I will have to keep my eye on the pond to see if it happens again. My last job outside was to walk around the yard and pick up sticks brought down by recent rain and wind.

The Deepest Union

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

It seems, when one hand touches another, when one life touches another, when thoughts commingle in conversation, that there still is a boundary of separation betwixt hand and hand, life and life, thought and thought. Your organs of perception indicate the distance between two energies regardless of how closely they may lie together.

Yet the energy which is the strength of the hand, the power of the life, and the tenor of the thought undergirds, overshadows and unites all things.

If you be confused and lonely this day, turn at once to that contact, that touch, that mutual beholding that is the deepest union between yourself and the spirit and principle of the full consciousness of Love, and then see the unity in all things with new eyes.

We leave you in peace, comfortable 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 March 24, 1996:

We would like to know about how the balancing process works. Should we be spontaneous in each experience to reflect who we are, or should we try to bring light consciously into each situation so that we affect it more positively? How can we use the catalyst of each situation to partake in the balancing process? How can we be the best mirrors to people?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of Q’uo. We send greetings through this instrument in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We are most happy to be with you this evening, and thank you for calling us to this blessed assembly of souls. As always, we ask that each take from those things we say that which seems helpful and disregard those things which do not seem so. In this way we feel more able to share our humble opinions with you, knowing that you can discriminate between that which is your personal truth and that which is not.

You ask concerning the processes of balancing. There is much to say concerning this interesting topic. Perhaps we should begin by stating some assumptions which we are making. The primary assumption that we use as the basis for balancing is that there is a center to things, that there is a sense to be made of the universe. This ground of being is difficult to talk about because its mode of being is that which is in process. The living processes of self relating to self and other self cannot be pinned like the butterfly on the collector’s exhibit. It cannot be stopped, for when it is halted it ceases being living. So, the basic picture, shall we say, that we have of the illusion is that it does make sense. It does add up to a unified and complete whole, but that sense is not linear and that whole or totality holds each pair of opposites in a dynamic balance.

Our second assumption is that it is the business of humankind to experience and to bear witness to that experience. This is confusing to those who desire to become perfect, for it is not our way to hunger after perfection. Rather, it is our feeling that it is the depth and quality of perception that is the desirable quality. The seeker of truth can be seen as that witness which makes the fallen tree make a sound. It is the tenuous, half-grasped witness of the imperfect entity that is precious to the infinite Creator, not the polished conclusion of a scholar or aesthete, but, rather, the diamond in the rough, if you will, of the person as it is, bearing witness to that catalyst which has struck it. Therefore, it is not important to create perfect responses. Rather, it is important to allow the most deeply felt truth of one’s being to thrive.

Now, there is a kind of understanding which we have shared before many times with this group that there are successively more light-filled kingdoms of thought, if you will, each reality comprising a truth, yet each succeeding density of truth being higher. This instrument is familiar with this concept from its reading of cabalistic literature and the phrase with which it is familiar with, “as above, so below.” In terms of a point of view for the seeker what this means is that a catalyst can be perceived truly on successively more lucid or profound levels. One can see this, for instance, in the physical act of movement. When one is very, very close to an elephant it is possible only to see a portion of dark leathery skin. If one were able to pull oneself up and back, as if being taken into the atmosphere by a helicopter, one could move a very few feet back and see, not a patch of skin, but an animal recognizable as an elephant. And this is a truth which does not contradict or deny the first truth, but adds to it and clarifies it.

Now, if one continued moving up and back from this elephant one would see the elephant become a small dot surrounded by the myriad truths and dwelling places of your peoples. And this truth, not contradicting or denying the elephant, yet adds the context within which that animal abides. Now, if one continued pulling away from this scene one eventually would see the planet upon which dwelt that elephant, spinning in space with the precision of clockwork. And, again, this would be a setting of the elephant in its larger context. If one continued to pull away one would eventually see empty space and stars. And this too would be the greater truth.

When one seeks to balance the self a great deal of the necessary work is a learning of and a claiming of the larger point of view, not a specifically larger or a specific point of view, but rather a point of view which has pulled back from the previous view. In this, as in all things a spiritual seeker does, truth is relative. Progress is relative, and to judge the self’s balance by gazing at another is only to confuse the processes of spiritual evolution, for each entity truly has an unique path and on that path is where that seeker is. Each seeker must needs wrestle continuously with those angels which show the face of the Creator to the seeking self.

The skill with which one handles situations involving other selves is a good resource to encourage in the self, for one who seeks to serve others naturally and organically wishes to be helpful and positive in the effect one has upon others. And we congratulate each when each has treated an entity with compassion and kindness in excess of what one may be feeling internally, for it is well to treat others kindly and with love. Yet this activity of social intercourse needs to be seen as one which does not demand a balance but rather demands the most—this instrument would say—Christ-like response or rejoinder. Being true to the self by being kind even when one does not feel kindly is a polarizing and positive choice. Yet, if this unbalanced action is not taken into the self in some way and balanced or assimilated it will drain the entity of energy for the entity will be speaking a lie. In order for the self to gather its energy anew there must be the process of looking for and seeking the truth of that imperfect and polarizing experience within the illusion.

The group question for this session was: “We would like to know about how the balancing process works.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the basic quality of balancing is that there is a center to the universe that makes sense, but it is alive and moving and is always in a dynamic balance. Then Q’uo said that it was the depth and quality of experience that was honestly felt that was important in the balancing process rather than the attempt at any kind of perfect response. Q’uo went on to say that the experience of catalyst can be perceived at various levels of truth with each succeeding level not changing lower levels, but adding to them in a way that one would experience by looking at an elephant from higher and higher levels until the Earth itself was but a miniscule speck of dust in a galaxy of stars. Then Q’uo said that all experiences of the seeker of truth contain a truth which is unique, and it is well to attempt to be of service to others and increase one’s polarity in the most compassionate way possible even if one does not honestly feel great compassion, but then the unbalanced compassion that was experienced needs to be balanced to keep the basic nature of it being a lie from draining the energy of the seeker. On January 19, 2019, Q’uo spoke of the need for balancing one’s experience:

Balance suggests opposites that are in equal status. If one sees the various qualities of the self and looks deeply within the mind, one discovers that you contain the universe within yourself, and in your incarnation that you now experience, you express certain portions of this universe which you are. This is in order that you might learn particular lessons that you have set before yourself previous to the incarnation. However, if you are able to look deeply enough within yourself in the contemplative state, or the meditative state, or in the dream state, you may see that you contain all things, that there is nothing that is in the creation that you do not contain.

You are everything. If you can look and find more of those qualities that you observe in the world around you within yourself, and begin to balance that which you find with that which remains to be found, you become what may be called a “360-degree being,” containing, observing, and experiencing all that there is of the One Infinite Creator. This is the great goal, my brother, of all entities within the creation, and it is not a goal that is easily achieved, or quickly achieved, or achieved only within the third density, for this is a goal which all seekers of truth proceed to discover and follow as they move through the journey of the densities that lead back to the One Infinite Creator. Here, in this third-density illusion, your experience is that of beginning to become this 360-degree being. The achieving of such is accomplished by looking about you in your daily round of activities, to find one more, and one more, and one more quality that you might use to balance that which is already known to yourself within your own being. Thus, you become, in your own mind, that which you are in your unconscious mind.

Much of health is involved in this process of balancing, for the self is as the soldier at the line of battle. Often there is incoming fire that wounds the self. This wound needs to be attended to. The wounded self needs healing. The healing takes place due to the seeker’s willingness to open the self and its imperfections to the centering influence of the largest perspective. Now, the largest perspective is that of love. In love the opposites are reconciled. This love is the seed of each of you, the truth at the center of you. It can be realized, not by taking it, but by releasing self so that that self which has suffered during the unbalanced actions of self can be bathed in the living water of truth.

It is easy for humankind to perceive spiritual evolution as a building process, going higher and higher and building one’s intelligence and wisdom so that greater and greater things are understood. Yet, it is our perception that it is somewhat the opposite that is the case. That is, that as the seeker evolves, the seeker becomes more and more able to release self, to let go, to surrender that part of self which wishes to be perfect or better or wiser.

What then is balance and how can one balance? This group has received information concerning exercises for balancing having to do with the technique of reviewing the day’s perceptions, noting when the self has been swayed positively or negatively. Each point of experience then is felt, intensified and then held while the mind allows that which has been felt to take its place within the range of that feeling and its opposite. This reconnects the distorted self with that truer self which contains the entire range of each and every emotion.

To be truest to the self it is well to reckon with that self and doing so on a daily basis is recommended. The key in balancing is the remembrance of the larger viewpoint and it is a skill which is good to work on to develop the ability to see the self from that higher perspective which sees the whole range of the human comedy, as this instrument would say. Now, this large viewpoint does not come easily to most, and that is the challenge to each: to so live that one is bearing witness to one’s truth, knowing that that truth is in process and will not stay the same, for each entity will grow along the lines desired most deeply. There is certainly one thing which is helpful and that is the sense of humor, for the use of this gift can take the sting from difficult experiences, not by denying pain, but rather by seeing the pain of living in its larger context of sorrow and joy.

To those in third density the intellect seems the higher faculty within the human consciousness and the stirrings and feelings that arise making little logical sense or offering little structure seem to be less useful. Yet the balance which each seeks is a balance within the open heart, not an intellectually precise balance between two intellectual concepts, for wisdom is not an aspect of your density. There is little use seeking wisdom. There is a great deal of wisdom seeking that center of feeling which is absolute.

Let us pause to allow each present to open the heart to that center which is the Creator: Love. We pause for a moment.

[Pause]

Now, as we speak keep this center, this heart of self visualized, see it as the glowing ball of perfectly white light that is dwelling within the darkness of flesh, as the sacrament within the cathedral which, within its place upon the altar, expresses and identifies that huge structure though it is only a small wafer of bread. This perfect light cannot be brought into your illusion, but it can be distorted by each heart that bears witness to it imperfectly. Love abides within each. Light dwells in the very heart of each. This is your truth. All else is language.

The way to pursue being a witness to the Light is to live today. The hopes for tomorrow, the regrets or memories of yesterday, aid in many things but do not aid in bearing witness to the Love and the Light within. By the time the impulse has reached the manifested expression it no longer bears witness to truth but to the judgment of the individual who is editing the self. Therefore, go ahead and edit the self, for such is the way of service to others. But allow the self to heal from these expressions by spending time and attention just letting go of and releasing the pains and joys alike to the infinite One. These are the harvests that the Creator desires. These are the expressions of Love that the Creator appreciates. Just as you are, you are loved, and this is the thing of the moment, for each moment, each instant is as that point from which a universe of possibility depends. Each moment is a moment of choice. Each moment is an opportunity for witness. Each moment is infinite.

Then Q’uo said that the experience of catalyst will often wound the self, and these wounds can be healed if the seeker bathes itself in the concept of Love which is the living waters of truth. Q’uo continued by saying that as one continues the spiritual path that they would think that there could be continuous additions to the self, whereas evolution is actually letting go of portions of the self that wish to be better. Then Q’uo defined the process of balancing as reviewing the positive and negative experiences of the day and intensifying each experience along with its opposite emotion which allows the distorted self to be reconnected with the true self which contains all emotions. Then they said that using balancing on a daily basis will give one the larger picture of the self that will enable the self to live its truth which is unique to each. Then Q’uo said that this balance was not intellectual but was that Light which is imperfectly perceived within the open heart. They went on to say that Love abides within each person; that Light dwells in the very heart of each one; that this is our truth. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that the way to be a witness to the Light and Love within us was to live in the present moment, judging ourselves if we wish, and then meditating and releasing our pains to the infinite Creator as It appreciates these ways of knowing Itself, and each moment with the Creator contains an infinity of choice, opportunity, and witness. On May 1, 1994, Q’uo spoke of the value of being a witness to the Love and Light:

You did not come into this incarnation to get everything right but to be a witness to Love and Light. You are not going to become right, or better, or finished, but will remain one who seems to sow seeds in the wind.

The phrase, “casting one’s bread upon the waters” comes from your holy work, the Bible, and that is what each self is intended to do, to cast the Love and Light and being a witness unto the ever moving, ever disappearing waters of life. Indeed, one may rejoice and offer thanks when one is simply giving away Love and Light, for within this image in your Bible it is pointed out that if one achieves a true release of gifts, a lack of holding them in memory, then does the Law of Plenty move into action, and the self becomes conscious of receiving one hundred and one thousand times the blessing back upon those moving waters of life.

We trust we have confused you, and to celebrate this fact we shall leave this somewhat befuddled instrument and transfer the contact to the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument in love and light. We are Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. It is now our privilege to ask if there might be any further queries from this group to which we may speak?

Carla: Earlier this week I was conscious of feeling energy within identical to the energy transfers from B when he is here. Are there any suggestions you could make as to how I could regularize this kind of energy or any comments you could make at all?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that there is a sympathetic connection which has been set up between the one known as B and yourself that operates upon the metaphysical level and allows you to feel the essence of energy, shall we say, that is offered to you by the one known as B in its desire to be of service. This desire is that which allows the transfer of energy as well as does your own need for it. The nature of the connection is that which is pre-incarnatively chosen, as there are many who offer themselves in such a fashion. The means of affecting this opportunity for transfer is that which must remain within the realm of your free will choice and experimentation.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Yes. In a way. My hope is that if I am receiving a transfer of energy that B is also receiving a transfer of my kind of energy. Also, that it not be depleting either of us but being like a completed circuit. Would you have any comments about this?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. In the large part, as you would say, this is correct. However, it is the closed or closing circuit with which you deal, for when this circuit is completed there is the possibility of mutual transfer.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: So, what you are saying is that I could not even receive that energy as I am were it not mutual. Is that correct?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister.

Is there another query?

Carla: No. Thank you.

Is there another query at this time from any other source?

B: In my recent experiences I have felt some very distinctive physical effects. Is it of any value to the seeker of truth to make note of these physical effects? Spiritual value, that is?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. It is helpful for the pilgrim upon the path to make notes of the nature of the journey in order that some glimpse of a larger reality be made available to it. There is not the need for great detail but to make note of the salient features that accompany those experiences that are felt to be of a metaphysical nature.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: Yes. But I forgot it!

I am Q’uo, and we are not at liberty to remember for you.

Is there a final query at this time?

B: Words seem to mean less in my interactions with others now and an energy seems to be becoming more prevalent. Could you help me with this a little?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We may comment by suggesting that this experience is an enhancement of your ability to perceive the world not only about you but more importantly that world within you, the lens through which you experience that which is your incarnation. As you begin to allow more impressions to arise within your own being it becomes somewhat more difficult to describe with any hope of accuracy that which grows within, yet the desire to do so grows as well. Thus, one is frequently left with the feeling and few words to describe it. This is not to be concerned about for there will come in its own time the ability to put into words more accurately the experience which continues to increase.

The entire effect is one much like exploring new terrain for the pilgrim on the path of moving into the lands which are more exotic and mysterious than those through which the entity has previously moved. Thus, there is a time of acclimation which is of necessity experienced at the beginning of this feeling and arising of more impressions internally. We would simply counsel patience and the honing of the desire to understand into a kind of awaiting with joy.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: How might I cooperate with this more fully?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Our only suggestion is that one may profit greatly from learning to accept not only the self but the new territories through which the self moves and the responses from the self without feeling overly whelmed or insignificant to the point of inaction, allowing the experience to develop as it will. Patience, tolerance, and the light touch are always good allies upon such a journey.

Is there any further query, my brother?

B: No. Thank you.

I am Q’uo. Is there a final query?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo. We again thank each for inviting our presence in this circle of working this day. We are most honored to have been able to join you and remind you that we speak that which is but our opinions. Take that which is helpful to you and leave all else behind.

At this time, we shall bid each a fond farewell for the nonce. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I was once again a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. As always, it was a Q & A session with lots of great questions like: What is the balancing process? What is the purpose of the violet ray in connection with intelligent infinite? What are our bodies like in the higher densities? How is communication accomplished in the higher densities? When did I learn to channel, and was it difficult to learn? Why is the word “an” used so often by Ra and Q’uo? I always enjoy sharing my thoughts and opinions with these Law of One students.

This afternoon I ran an errand to Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription for a Libre Freestyle Glucose Monitor for Bosco and some Pepsi Zero and Tylenol for myself. When I got home I cleaned the filters for the fountain in the fishpond, and then I transplanted a tray of Begonias into the flower garden in the middle of the Moss Garden.

Truth Renews The Senses

I am the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, the principle of unconditional love and the encourager of grace amidst paradox.

I come to this instrument in that glad paradox of eternity and dust which is the spirit in manifestation. The spirit speaks as an echo reverberating that which the heart of man already knows. Where the heart lies open, each moment may disclose a new heaven and a new earth.

See the paradox of your soul’s striving amidst the celebration of perfection which is the essence of the nature of the reality hidden in manifestation. Let the spirit of love conquer the eye that sees the mask of things. Through the spirit apprehend the inner core of perfection in each and every circumstance.

For by this willingness to trust in the spirit of love, by this choosing of a consciousness of love, you may view each desert as a garden and each garden as a desert, gaining for yourself the full picture which the true heart may paint of the paradoxes of divine love.

Release the need to make sense and allow truth to renew your senses.

In peace we leave you, 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 March 17, 1996:

This week we are going to take pot luck.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We come to you as you call us. We are most privileged to be called, and we thank you very much for this service that you give us in allowing us to serve you. As always, we ask that you use your discrimination, for we are error-prone, as are you.

And yet, though we are prone to error and though each of you is prone to error, though our experience is illusion, and our thoughts are those which are about the illusion, there is that which binds us together. There is that which makes us one. And that is the nature of each of us, of each of you. Many things seem apparent and prima facie, and these generally take that which they can see and construct the structure about which you were speaking earlier, that house of life which is created by the everyday and ordinary things that, in toto, add up to an incarnation.

It is interesting that those who seek, to the point of knowing clearly and lucidly that all is an illusion still continue to process the catalyst and to be affected. It is interesting, and it is valuable, that the desire to understand, the desire to figure it out, creates the continuing sense of insecurity and causes us each to dig deeper, to look further, even though we know that all is illusion.

Yet, do we truly know, especially do we know what our illusion, and do you know what your illusion, is? We seek to move beyond self, yet we have not moved beyond self, and this is your situation. The thought of moving on to higher densities is that there will be a surcease of gaining catalyst, being affected, and changing. Yet this is not so. But the alterations and changes that each of us hopes for and desires with the greatest of purity is that which is between the lines, in the margins of life.

We seek. We yearn. And we desire to move beyond self, and yet that to which we move is self, that great Self that is the Creator. Indeed, moving up the ladder of evolution can, from one standpoint, seem like a process of things falling away that we thought we knew rather than our learning more things to hold onto, for each and every thing that you can hold onto will fail you. The only thing that does not fail is Love itself. Love remains, passes each test, and waits for the weary to finish the current round of tests and questions, wonderings and murmurings, waits patiently, waits with all the Love, literally, in the world. Our Self awaits us between each word, between each breath, between each bone within your bodies, between each synapse in your nerves and brains. Love awaits.

Are you in the desert? Love will find you there and will hover about you with living water, waiting for you to open the door to the present moment. Are you in the garden, the oasis of life, where blessings abound? Then Love is everywhere. Then it is easy to forget that the feelings, the emotions that run high are not those deep emotions that are the tide of the heart, for when times are good it is easy to be lazy and to move away from that holy of holies again, for all is so beautiful and so lovely and so pleasant. It is easy to be content with playing in the garden.

Yet, the Love that awaits is not that full sunshine of noon, is not that fountain of water that satisfies physical thirst, is not even those emotional structures, if you will, that accompany that blessed state of contentment. Love gives life and yet also it is a call for more remembrance. Love calls to itself from within the good times and bad as experienced by you. It remains the same in bad times and good. It can be perceived only fitfully by the incarnate spirit, and yet those moments of inner awareness, of holiness, of that presence of self in its wholeness are enough and more than enough to exalt and strengthen and inspire.

We encourage each to move into remembrance as often as it can be thought. The remembrance shall be of Love. That Love, in its power and strength, in its grace and beauty, has created the harmony of all the illusions that there are, an infinite and infinitely complex system of fields of energy, an illusion created by a Self that wishes to know Itself. It loves each field of energy that It has born within Its mind. It nurtures moment by moment that infinite and eternal consciousness that is Itself within each of you. We call you to a deeper awareness, the awareness that is in the grounds of being, beneath the surface of good times and bad. We call you to remembrance of Love.

Ask yourself to remember, to give thanks and praise. We ask this, knowing that it is nearly impossible in the midst of the illusion to have a constant and faithful memory, yet if a desire is honed and sharpened day by day that faculty will create a rhythm of evolution that is accelerated, for that within you which is deep enough to remember moment by moment is that self towards which you yearn, that slightly more aware and then slightly more aware self that is opening its consciousness up to the infinite depths of the Love of the one infinite Creator. When this Love is realized in memory within it is as always when one is in love, the outer illusion becomes extraordinary and each and every trick of the weather and happenstance of the day can be seen to shine with excellence and beauty.

We know that you seek to deepen the self and your awareness of Self. Let that energy have its ground in remembrance of the one infinite Creator, that original Thought which is and which all else is becoming.

Today there was no group question, so the group decided to take potluck. Then Q’uo said that they were a part of the same illusion that we were, and they were also attempting to learn more about this illusion and their own nature, and part of this process was to discover a certain sense of insecurity that causes them to dig deeper into a continuing illusion even though they knew all that they would find is illusion. They went on to say that they continue to desire to know more about their great Self, the one Creator, and this causes more of what they thought their self was to fall away rather than adding to what they thought they knew about themselves. They said that the only thing that does not fall away is Love. They asked: “Are you in the desert? Love will find you there and will hover about you with living water, waiting for you to open the door to the present moment. Are you in the garden, the oasis of life, where blessings abound? Then Love is everywhere. Then it is easy to forget that the feelings, the emotions that run high are not those deep emotions that are the tide of the heart, for when times are good it is easy to be lazy and to move away from that holy of holies again, for all is so beautiful and so lovely and so pleasant. It is easy to be content with playing in the garden.” They said that Love had created all the densities of the Creation so that It might know Itself, and Q’uo asked us to remember Love, to give praise and thanksgiving for It, and to go deeper and deeper into our self which is continuing to open its consciousness up to the infinite depths of the Love of the one infinite Creator. Then Q’uo said that our lives may be transformed to that which is of great beauty as we become more and more aware of the Love of the one infinite Creator. On February 15, 2023, Q’uo described how we may be transformed by the Love of the one infinite Creator:

Tonight you ask about the spirit portion of your mind/body/spirit complex, and how it might be seen as that which partakes more fully and freely of what you call joy; the joy of being; the joy of knowing your connection to the One Infinite Creator; the joy of knowing your connection with all of your brothers and sisters within the third density, who are also manifestations of the One Infinite Creator. This is a kind of knowing that comes from the heart of your being that is connected to the Love of the One Infinite Creator that has created the universe around you out of its Love, focused into Light. Your spirit is that which partakes of the nature of creation as being a portion of the One Creator.

Your spirit complex is that which is the least distorted of your mind, body, and spirit; that which partakes then of the unity of all creation more fully. This type of spirit that you feel and know to be the heart of your being is that which you are expressing when you feel the experience of joy: the joy that all is One, that you are part of that oneness, of that unity, in every moment of your existence. This type of knowing of joy could be seen as—we correct this instrument—could be seen as an expression of what you would call ecstasy, so that you are realizing more and more of your true nature in every moment that you feel the experience of Unity, of Love, of Light, of the Creator being everywhere around you, within you, and without you. There is nothing but the One Creator. And to know that in any degree, in any time period, as you would call it, is that which is most fulfilling.

For we know this as the nature of our own being as well. We are as you, experiencing the spirit as being the very heart of our being so that we are able to rejoice and feel the joy of being enhanced and being multiplied in the pleasure, the joy, the knowledge, the experience of our own being, which is the being of the Creator.

There is so much that can be felt in the various layers of joy; the various levels of realization of the unity with the One Creator, that has been since time began, and before, and shall be, since any time expiration in what you would call your future. This is the state of being at all times, and each spiritual seeker has the opportunity, as it travels a spiritual journey, to feel more and more of this joyful nature of the One Creator existing within the self, and within all other selves, and within all of the Creation about one. This is something that is always true in the present moment, in the past, in the future. All moments become the present moment as one experiences this feeling of joy.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim in order that he may speak to the ending of this session of working. We are those of Q’uo. We leave this instrument in love and in light.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light. We are at this time honored to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which those present may have for us. At this time we would ask if there is a query with which we may deal?

Carla: I have been thinking lately that I am just massaging my ego with these channeled messages. I know that you say each time that you come what a privilege it is for you and how much we are helping you. I wonder if you could give me some things to think about in seeing myself as being of the same use that I have been before. It just seems like by now have we not covered everything by now?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Over the years of your time during which this group’s efforts have been offered in the form of service to others in the channeling there has indeed been a great array of topics covered, for there are many, many ways by which Love may be approached, and it is our great privilege to assist any who wishes to know more of this power of Love and the one great original Thought that produced Love in all its infinite forms. Though the sharing of this information in many forms so that the mind may consider and the heart embrace more fully the concept of love is a great service to offer, it is not the heart, for the heart of this blending of our vibrations with yours at each working is the seeking of Love and the sharing of love, the birthing of Love that did not exist before the blending occurred.

Each time that we are able to utilize instruments such as these present, we are able to give and receive not only information and inspiration but the essence of Love, the seeking to know, the seeking to share. The seeking, this is that which is most fundamental to our times together. This is much like the carrier wave of the radio stations that infuse messages upon this primary wave of energy. Thus, at each working we, with you, are able to create another form, if you will, which Love may take in the attempt of entities to apprehend it. It is a joy and a pleasure to see what interesting and intricate forms we and you create. Yet it is a blessing that each is made of Love. Through the opportunity that you offer to us and we offer to you, thus the treasure is the time together. We thank you for each such opportunity and bless you as you sit and ponder the possibilities of your purpose and your gifts.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Would you, from your standpoint, rank both silent meditation and channeled meditations as equal as ways of sharing the presence of Love?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. And it is a difficult distinction to make as to whether there is more or better Love created through one form of meditation or another, for each is potentially full of that quality that we call Love. Some entities are more biased, shall we say, or appreciate the silent meditation, for it speaks not to the mind but more directly to the heart and the foundation of one’s being. Whereas with other entities it is necessary to go through the doorway of the mind, shall we say, in order to reach the heart in a fashion which is appreciated by that entity, though the heart may be reached without the entity’s appreciation in silent meditation. Thus, the choice is yours. We could suggest trying each and assessing your own appreciation.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: To tell you the truth, I have been continuing on with the channeling because the people around me are still wanting it. Do you think this is a way of thinking that is accurate as far as my motivations are concerned or should I spend some time examining this? I have no feeling one way or the other.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We would comment thusly. It is oftentimes that the most helpful information comes through an instrument that has little desire to be an instrument at that time but answers a call. We answer your call. You answer the call of others. This is the way of service.

Is there a further query?

Carla: No, that pretty well does it. I was hung up on that because I really [inaudible] being able to help these people. OK.

I am Q’uo, and we again thank you, my sister, and would suggest that true cause for concern could come about if you experienced that experience of the Maytag repairman with no call.

Is there a further query?

Carla: Not from me. You know that I have always been a reluctant channel, but I do answer a call.

I am Q’uo. We are most grateful for your efforts at questioning the channeling and most especially at living the life.

Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we are aware that we have exhausted those queries which have been offered to us so carefully and lovingly and [which move] to the center of our being, for we feel that they come from the center of your being. We thank you for your dedication. We thank you for the care with which you enter these sessions of working and the honest effort that each makes at offering the self in service to others. We are known to you as those of Q’uo and shall take our leave of this instrument and this group at this time, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I began brought in the house plants from the front porch, the back deck, and around the fishpond a little earlier this year because I want them to be part of our public channeling meditations which will begin a week from tomorrow.

This afternoon I made an errand run to Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a couple of prescriptions. When I got home I vacuumed the first floor of the house.

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

September 6

The Strength Of Acceptance

I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ, the Son of Man. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love in manifestation.

We hear the voices of those upon your planet who cry, “Woe! Woe! Dark is the day, and dark is the hour!” The railing against fate and the anger against the Father is most understandable and acceptable.

Yet as the Spirit of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of power and creation, so those who cry woe and feel powerless must needs call to the Holy Spirit. For within each difficulty, within each pain, there lies a peace, an acceptance. The strength to adopt acceptance and to move in acceptance of limitations and difficulties is at least equal to the strength and power to go forth and do battle in the name of Jesus Christ.

Realize that in the center of your being is the power to accept powerlessness and to accept that which cannot be changed. There is the peace in that acceptance which may open into joy. The cross is for all who seek to know Jesus Christ.

We leave you in the peace of the full consciousness of divine, sacrificial and creative Love, both now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, 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 18, 1996:

Concerns red-ray energy transfers and how they are accomplished, whether by sexual energy transfer or just by being in people’s presence. Does it differ from second to third density? What would the lack or abundance of red-ray energy look like in a person?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator in whom there is no variation or shadow. We thank you for calling us to speak with you this afternoon, for it is indeed a great privilege for us to join this circle of seekers of truth. We, too, are seekers of truth, and yet we do not have the final answers ourselves, so as always, we ask that each listen and take from those things which we say only those ideas and conceptions that ring true for you personally, for we would not want to put a stumbling block in your way. We wish only to aid. Please know that you are aiding us, for allowing us to perform this service for you is great generosity on your part. We have only one reason to be here, and you are allowing us to further that hope of ours to lend what aid we can to those upon your sphere at this time who seek those lessons of love which lie beyond the present Earth world.

You have elected this day to focus upon a very, literally, basic portion of the energy distortions which form the structure of your mind/body/spirit complex, as this instrument would call it: those rays that feed and inform the physical bodies, the mental bodies, the emotional bodies, and the spiritual. And so let us look at that first incoming port of call within your personal energy field, for there is a field about that entity which is you.

It is the kind of field that holds together. If you see it on the top of a liquid you would call this field a meniscus. It is that which holds the surface and allows it to form a shape. Such are the complex of fields that contain your consciousness and allow it to manifest within that world of shadows in which you live at this time. The energy which is received by the physical body is infinite and perfect and without distortion. It moves into the body, rushing in from the earth, from the air, from the sky, in through the feet and at the root of the spine. And the welcome that it finds at that base chakra or energy center at the root of the spine places the limit upon the energy that can be transformed as it moves through the remaining energy centers of your body, your mind and your spirit.

When entities wish to think about what you have called red ray, it is natural that the consideration tends towards that of identifying red-ray energy with sexual energy. And certainly sexual energy is a manifestation of red-ray energy, just as the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system are functions of red-ray energy. As you have suspected there is a scope, a range of ways that the pure base chakra energy may be distorted, and the sexual expression is only one of those ways.

Perhaps the most skillful expression of strong red-ray energy is the allowing of the self to rejoice in the feeling of health and life, to feel the vivid energy of the blood moving through the physical body, of the organs doing their balanced working, and of the nervous system opening and relaxing and turning towards the light of the physical world or that world of entities in which the expression of light, perhaps the lamp in the window or the smile that lights up the face, can express, for the red ray is in its pure form the energy that created all things, moving in its first expression into the individual splinter of the love and the light of the one infinite Creator that is each of you.

Certainly the expression of red-ray energy in sexual activity is an appropriate and helpful expenditure of this valuable energy and the transfer of energy which can be exchanged in the sexual act does create what this instrument would call the Holy Eucharist of this energy, that expression of unified praise and thanksgiving that in uniting two bodies unites also the adoration of the one infinite Creator and becomes a hymn of praise. And yet, as this instrument has suspected for some time, because of its own experiences at receiving such energy from others, it is entirely possible and natural and certainly helpful when entities which have good polarity meet to allow the free exchange of red-ray energy.

Depending upon the polarities involved, one entity in such an energy exchange is able to fall into an open circuit which allows the two entities who are polarized to circulate the shared energy back and forth, around and around. In this expression one of the polarities will be sharing physical energy. The other will be sharing its excess of spiritual/emotional energy. Although it is most often true that the biological female will share the emotional and spiritual energies whereas the male will share its excess of physical energy, this is not always the polarity which two entities will discover, for many biological males have the excess of spiritual energy. Many biological females have an excess of physical energy.

When two females or two males find the energy exchange opening to link their fields, one will have the polarity of the opposite sex. This does not mean that the biological male is actually a female if it has spiritual rather than physical distortions of excess energy. It simply means that each entity, whether biologically male or female is both, has been both, many times, and contains within the self the entire range of expressions, emotions and feelings. So there is not a state of complete blindness which separates the two kinds of energies which are transferred, but rather there is the great desire of the everyday culture to keep things simple, and to that world view which expresses within your people’s culture, the man is the man and the woman is the woman, and the two natures are irretrievably opposite.

The group question for this session was: “Concerns red-ray energy transfers and how they are accomplished, whether by sexual energy transfer or just by being in people’s presence. Does it differ from second to third density? What would the lack or abundance of red-ray energy look like in a person?” Q’uo began by saying that there is an energy that is infinite and perfect that surrounds our body that comes from the earth, sky, and air and enters through the base chakra to inform and feed our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies and contains our consciousness that manifests in the world around us. Q’uo continued by saying that the red ray was associated with sexuality and the feeling of health and vitality, and it was also the basic energy of the Creator that has created the universe, and the sexual energy exchange is also a form of the giving of praise to the Creator for the uniting of two bodies which have become one. Then Q’uo said that in this energy exchange it is usually the male that transfers physical energy and the female that transfers emotional and spiritual energy although there are times when the female transfers physical energy, and the male transfers emotional and spiritual energy. Q’uo also said that when two males or two females engage in a sexual energy exchange one of them will transfer the physical energy, and the other will transfer the emotional and spiritual energy because in previous incarnations each will have been both sexes many times although this is not accepted in the normal world view. On March 25, 2007, Q’uo went into great detail about the value of the red-ray sexual energy transfer:

When working with sexual energy, it is very important to realize that you are dealing with enormously powerful forces, and therefore, as you become more intimate with your partner, you need to become ever more careful, ever more affectionate, and ever more thoughtful about how you say things as well as what you say. For you have become a powerful person to your mate, and you wish to treat this mate with all the honor and respect that you would give to the Creator Himself or Herself.

You see, if you are a man, your mate is the feminine energy of the Creator. If you are a woman, your mate is the male energy of the Creator. Together, you make the full 360 degrees of Creatorship that takes in all the polarities that you both express. You have shared all that you are, and you have become one with the Creator.

How can you, then, value the female orgasm? You value it by creating a safe atmosphere in which such a thing can take place. You value it by continuing an atmosphere of gentleness, honor, romance, if you will: those small things that, to the feminine temperament, indicate a genuine and deep interest and not simply the red-ray sexual energy of lust.

If you are a woman, you treasure yourself. You do not worry about having an orgasm, as if it were the same thing as a man’s orgasm for, my friends, it is not. Certainly, it can be made rough and primitive. It can have the energy simply of sexual congress in the red ray. However, it is far more likely for the feminine temperament to appreciate what’s going on when that orgasm happens to her. For a woman tends to have more of a connection with the unseen world. So, she is actually more aware of the kind of energy that is pouring through her when she is expressing an orgasm physically.

Consequently, a woman in that position is a priestess, just as a man is a priest, in sexual intercourse when they are working together sacredly. But to the man goes that kind of energy that is called by this instrument “yang,” to the woman goes the energy that is considered by this instrument “yin,” so that, in the sexual energy exchange that is sacred in nature, from the man comes that powerful energy of physical wellness and vitality—that which you think of when you think of the word “masculine.”

What the feminine offers is the inspiration from spirit. That is the other portion of that male expression of strength, power, and virility. The woman is expressing acceptance, unconditional love, and the energy of the Creator Itself. For you see, the woman, unlike man, is possessed of a direct route or connection to the womb of, shall we say, Mother Nature or the red-ray energy of planet Earth.

The woman has that sea of infinity and eternity flowing through her. She is much closer to her priestliness because she must tend to the circumstances of her menses monthly, and she feels the pull of the moon, the tides, and her passions in a way that, generally speaking, men are not encouraged to do in your culture.

It is our opinion that this is an immensely overstated truth. There is the tendency, rather, for the sexual biases to be as the culture thinks them. The truth is that each has all of the available distortions within a vast memory that lies deep within the mind complex, and within this deep memory lie recollections of being many, many things, many plants, many animals, many minerals, elements and states, for this protean, plastic, endlessly reforming material that houses the energy that is consciousness is that which, like the various parts of the sea, may seem to split into this wave and that, this bubble and that froth, and yet it is all one. It is all the one water, and there is in truth no differentiation, and yet you have come out of that sea of consciousness. You have dressed yourself in a body of flesh and you have deliberately come into the land of the shadows, there to face the choices that a person of energy can make, for this energy comes to each as a gift of the one infinite Creator.

The energy that gives life is also the energy that can limit and kill. It is up to each individual so to mold the thinking and the attitude and the processes of perception that this perfect, precious, infinite energy may flow through all the energy centers unimpeded, unforced, spiraling upward naturally and back to the infinite Creator as it leaves the physical top of the body, the head, the face, and the fingers.

In order to best allow the free passage of energy through the red ray it is well to sit with the self and contemplate to one’s satisfaction what it is to have life, what it is to have the beating heart, and the in-taken breath. What it is to be caught between the Creator and nothingness, what it is to have the eyes open upon the present moment. That gift of life, if perceived for one instant as the infinite gift that it is, is stunning, breathtaking, miraculous, unbelievable. And yet it is yours, each one of you. This energy, this indrawn breath, this moment in space and time to form as you will, to express just as you choose to do.

As you contemplate this energy of life know that it is but a shadow of something that is within each of you that is even closer to the Creator than the light that you welcome into your energy field. For light is a manifested thing, yet that which lies closer than your breathing, nearer than your hands, is that which you are: the great original Thought of Love. One may identify with the body, or one may identify with the consciousness that is the one infinite Creator. And depending upon whether the person identifies itself as body or as consciousness much may be affected. We encourage each of you, while loving the body, to see it as the shadow of the true self, that true self that took this second-density physical vehicle to be its home within the Earth world, that consciousness that shall drop the garment of the body, lovingly, gently and with thanks when it is time to move on through the door of death.

You are love, and you have chosen to come into the builded universe, that land of light and dark, and to enter into a vast round of experience, from the primeval blackness through the dim forms of earth and fire, through all the ways of the life stream moving through vegetable and animal and now you stand at the threshold of self-knowledge, self-awareness, self-consciousness. And it is your precious task to take these gifts that you have been given and to offer them back up to the infinite Creator with as much increase of love and service, compassion, and caring, as you can. The second-density red ray which is the environment which your body enjoys selects those entities which may aid it in promulgating the species and in creating a safe place in which to bring up young. The third-density red-ray energy adds to that the energies of self-conscious love which opens this energy up to embrace all, male and female, which takes that red ray and chooses to allow it to flow naturally, not only in the act of sex but in the act of living.

Perhaps a good model for this would be the boomerang. As you release this energy of selfhood, this energy of basic health, as this instrument would call it, there is the comfortable confidence that this energy shall return with gifts in its arms from a universe which has all the polarities possible within it. Any two entities may share third-density red-ray energy to the extent of their dynamic. It will always be that certain pairs of entities will happen to have particularly good dynamics and thus will experience a more remarkable stream of energy transfer. But the open sharing of this energy with all is certainly that which aids the red ray in the remaining open, powerful and pure, thus ensuring that the maximum amount of energy moves through red ray and into the next.

Now Q’uo said that even though we all have the memory within our deep mind of being many different kinds of plants and animals, the truth of our consciousness is that it springs from the infinite nature of the one Creator to come forth into the third density illusion to make the choices that a person of energy can make which are gifts to the Creator. Then Q’uo said that it was important that this energy be perceived in a way that allows it to flow freely through the energy centers and return to the one Creator unimpeded by sitting with the red-ray energy and considering the beauty of being alive in the present moment. They said that we should appreciate our bodies, but we should identify our true selves as the consciousness of the Thought of Love which has taken the body as a shadow of our true self, and we will drop these bodies when it is time to move through death’s door. Q’uo continued by saying that we have moved through the cycles of the first density of dark awareness, the second density of vegetables and animals, to our present third density of self-conscious love that opens to male and to female to share in the act of sex and in simply living the life. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that this red ray energy may be shared by any two entities according to the dynamic relationship between them that will allow a remarkable energy transfer that they will also be able to share with all around them by keeping the red ray open and pure to insure the movement of energy through the red ray and then the rest of the energy centers. On May 10, 2008, Q’uo spoke about how to keep the red ray open:

What is not usually understood about red ray is that it is not only the ray of sexuality but also the ray of survival. It is the ray in which you must say either “yes” or “no” to life itself. Many are those whose feelings of depression and unhappiness, for various reasons, have begun to shut down or at least narrow that red ray. Somehow, sharing these woes with another whose ears are open to listen begins to get the red ray open again; begins to make life seem good again. The colors brighten, energies lift, and the conversation goes on.

We find this to be a good stopping place and would continue this transmission through the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo, and we thank this instrument as we leave it in light and love. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you once again through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to ask if we may speak to further queries which those present may have for us. Is there another query at this time?

K: You mentioned that we are on the threshold of self-consciousness. As third-density people is it true that we are only on the threshold of self-consciousness and have not attained it? What is your concept of self-consciousness that we have yet to attain?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The self-consciousness of which we spoke is that consciousness of the greater Self which may be likened unto the higher self, revealing itself in stages, shall we say. This is that kind of compassion which includes the universe about one and not just those other selves which are in close proximity or in an interactive relationship with the self. The self-consciousness of which third-density entities are so proud is that self-consciousness which each feels as an individualized portion of the one Creator. That is the great achievement of this density’s work: to give the individualization a chance to work its transformative ways upon the consciousness of the second density which has much in common with that greater awareness whose threshold you now begin to pass through, for each is partaking of the great consciousness of all that is—the second-density entity moving from it into an individualized awareness available in third density, the third-density entity moving from this individualized awareness into a consciousness which partakes more of the one Creator once again, yet does so in an informed manner, one which has chosen for itself the path to this threshold.

Is there a further query, my brother?

K: The energy that you spoke of coming through the feet and the red-ray chakra: is this light energy or another kind of energy? If it is light energy, how is it changed from the light that we know so that it may enter the chakra and the consciousness that is enclosed in the plastic matter that you mentioned. Is there a relationship between the energy that enters the chakra and this consciousness that is the soul?

I am Q’uo, and believe that we are aware of your query, my brother. The energy which enters the feet and base of the spine is an intelligent kind of energy that is most likened to what you would call Love, that creative energy which enlivens all creation. It is the enlivener, the energizer, and is the daily gift of the Logos to all within its care. A kind of manna, shall we say, which each entity will use in an individualized fashion. This is a tool of the soul, as you have called it. The soul essence of each entity is that focus of consciousness which exists from time immemorial and moves into the evolutionary process as a portion of the one Creator. It utilizes the various densities and incarnations within each density to achieve certain levels of awareness and expressions of energy within them.

Thus, the intelligent energy or prana of the Logos is that which propels the creation. The soul is that portion of consciousness which can use this universal energy for personal evolution.

Is there a further query, my brother?

K: Does this Love energy come from the sun as a Logos or from the one infinite Creator as Logos?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. It comes from the One as does all come from the One, for there is only the one infinite Creator. This infinite, universal, cosmic mind of the one Creator is refined and varied in infinite ways by each Logos as means by which to glorify the one Creator and give It the opportunity to know Itself that would not be present without the individual refinements by each Logos to this cosmic mind or energy.

Is there a further query, my brother?

K: How is the harvest brought about as a mechanism? What determines the time for the harvest to occur? Does the harvest depend on a certain point of the zodiac transiting the center of the galaxy and, if so, what is the exact mechanism by which that harvest takes place?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother, though perhaps somewhat less able to express it in the precise terms which you request, for though such precision would be possible with other instruments we must content ourselves with the general statement that there is a clock-like mechanism, indeed, that is the cause, shall we say, for the harvest to occur as it does. For each energy focus, be it planetary, be it that of the Logos or any entity which exists as an individualized portion of the one Creator, will move in a spiraling fashion towards the Light and the Love of the one Creator. This movement is a progression of increasing awareness and expression of this awareness by the entities undertaking this process.

For those within your third-density illusion, the planetary progress, as this sphere which you call Earth moves through its own unfolding and position in the cosmic web of creation, will have those times during which the entities upon its surface and within its care will have the opportunity to demonstrate the level of apprehension of the unity of all things. Within this illusion the lessons of love and the ability to open the green-ray energy center to the experience about one and the identity, indeed, of oneself is the kind of energy expression that will find the opportunity to be harvested at regular intervals that are determined, as we stated, in a general fashion by this planet’s own progress and position and will be offered as well as each entity is able to become more consciously aware of the evolutionary process. So, for the entity which has been more successful in untangling the illusory nature of its own existence in this third density there is always the opportunity to harvest the self at any point within this density’s progress. Such entities are most likely, in the positive polarity, to remain with the planetary sphere until all of those of its kind are also harvestable…

I am Q’uo, and am once again with this instrument. Is there another query at this time?

K: I have one more. What is the nature of the fifth-density body that can be materialized into our third-density illusion? Does it have any physical substance to it? Or is it a manipulation of light in some way?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. Though there are few instruments within your third-density illusion that could measure any physical qualities of the light body of fifth density there would be, to the most sensitive, some small register of that which could be called matter, or could be called energy within a field.

However, the light body is indeed constructed of that which is light and can be manipulated in any fashion that an entity of fifth density or above desires, for it is the ability of light to be formed in such and such a fashion that allows the creation to exist, and as an entity moves into more and more harmony with the unity of all creation there comes the ability to be co-Creator and to move into the light, and become the light, and form the light as the will directs.

Is there a further query, my brother?

K: The light from the being in fifth density could be changed into physical matter here in third density so that we could see the entity?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. This is correct, although the matter formed would not be that which could be expected to exist for a lengthy portion of your time measurement, for the focus necessary to maintain the third-density illusion of matter is one which is quite concentrated and requires a certain grounding and dedication to this density which entities of fifth density or above would not have as their native makeup, as their illusion at this time is of a much finer quality.

Is there a further query, my brother?

K: Thank you.

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

Carla: I would like to ask three things. What was going on when last week I first got energy from B? It spilled over and B said he would just send it around the circle. What was that? After that I seemed to have good energy when B was around. It didn’t build up and I didn’t feel extra energy around. Third, is there something about my vital energy that makes me able to use pure red-ray energy better than most people?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The one known as B has a natural ability, the nature of which he is beginning to discover. The discovering of this nature allowed the modifying of the experience. The connection between your spiritual expression of red-ray energy is that which enhances your ability to receive that which the one known as B is beginning to understand how to modify.

Is there another query?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

B: I was wondering if there is a difference between a second-density yellow-ray expression and a third-density yellow-ray expression?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. There is a range of expression for each of the rays or centers of energy. For the second density to express the beginning grasp of yellow ray is to become enough individualized that the entity can give and receive that quality known as love. A primary example of such would be the pets which many within this culture enjoy, each pet becoming more individualized with the loving care of the third-density entity.

The third-density expression of the yellow-ray energy, taken to the more advanced end of the scale, would see entities working harmoniously with each other in the groupings of the daily round of activities, each moving into more and more harmony, compassion and understanding of those with whom the illusion is shared, this done in a more and more conscious fashion.

Is there a further query, my brother?

B: Not at this time.

Carla: Would the second-density animal finding its place in the pecking order be an example of second-density yellow ray, or is that part of third density?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. There are many expressions of energy and behavior patterns within the second-density illusion which may be seen as being of the orange ray’s expression even though the observer within third density can see great similarities between those actions which you mentioned and the third-density experience which sees entities doing much the same under similar circumstances. Yet, within each illusion there is also the undergirding quality of the experience that shades it towards the orange ray for the second-density creature and the yellow ray for the third-density entity, even though there may be instances within the second-density illusion where second-density entities may indeed be demonstrating more behavior toward the yellow-ray spectrum within their orange-ray environment. This is the natural progression of the second density towards third so that at most times in the evolution of second-density entities there is the preponderance of orange-ray activity with the movement toward the yellow ray of individualized behavior.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and as it appears that we have evolved in this session to a lack of queries we shall thank each for walking with us for these few brief moments this day. It has been, as it always is, our great privilege and pleasure to be with you and to be allowed to speak our thoughts through these instruments. We hope that you will always remember to take only those thoughts which have value for you and leave all others behind. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we would leave this instrument and this group at this time. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used the watering wand to water the flowers along the parking area in front of the house and the hydrangeas and azaleas in front of the house. Then I used Venus to cut the grass in the back yard.

This afternoon I took Bosco to my regular vet to get a chest X-ray for him, and the vet said that there was much less water around his lungs which meant that he was doing a lot better than the previous X-ray showed. The vet also helped me learn how to synchronize my cell phone with the Freestyle Libre Glucose Monitor on his shoulder as well as the Blood Glucose Monitoring System that I have never used before.

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

September 5

Worthiness To Be Slain

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

This morning the instrument’s mind is full of questions of worthiness. “Worthy”—what does that mean?

In terms of the Spirit’s speaking to the peace and joy of those who may deem themselves unworthy, we may say that “worthy” means “ready to be slaughtered.” “Worthy is the Lamb that is Slain.” The worthiness is willingness to sacrifice.

Unworthiness is unwillingness to sacrifice on behalf of the Creator seen in others’ eyes. You are unworthy if you cannot be a sacrificial giver for those things which you see to be of God and of the work of God.

Other than this, thoughts of unworthiness have no place in the life of the disciple. Are you worthy to be slain today? To give sacrificially? To open yourself, that Love may come through you?

If you have the humility to count yourself unworthy, then perhaps you have become worthy after all.

We leave you in the divine peace and Love of Jesus Christ, both now and evermore. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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