The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from September 16, 1990:

The question this evening is a continuation of last week’s question, which was on the general topic of how one deals with a totally unacceptable person or situation when you have attempted to do everything that you know how to do. How does one balance the doing what is possible with the accepting of the situation? There seemed to be more information from Q’uo last time; we would like that information this time. Then at the end, if you have time, you might give us a little information about how Latwii and Ra have blended together to become Q’uo, just how do you do such a thing—equal parts of one, stir, bake at 350 and serve chilled, or what?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet you in the love and light of the one infinite Creator. To Her service we are dedicated. It is our great privilege and honor to be asked to join your own seeking as you sit in meditation this evening. We are pleased that you asked us to continue speaking upon some of the more telling ramifications of the concept of unacceptability. We ask, of course, as always, that all remember that we are not infallible, and discrimination is requested. Each will know his own truth, what seems not appropriate to be left behind, for we would not be a stumbling block before any path that leads to the presence and the awareness of the One Who is All.

We are continuing to speak upon the subject of accepting of the unacceptable, forgiving the unforgivable. We have noted much upon this subject in general, and so we would like to speak about an aspect of this question that we are happy to be able to have more time to discuss. Each of you is well aware of the way those things in the distance appear very small, whereas those things just before one loom large. Many call this a sense of proportion. It is the key to observations of any kind which may be helpful when they are of an intellectual or reasoning nature. In situations in which the intellect is not used, the sense of distance, or proportion, continues to be an excellent tool for achieving a state of mind in which the heart, the true and deep mind, may learn the lessons presented by the unacceptable and unforgivable entity, relationship or condition.

We have spoken already about love. We would speak now about the free will that is beyond understanding, and is the first distortion of intelligent infinity. Without it matter could not have been illusorily created. Without it there would not be dimension, or the illusion of time. Without free will there would be only love unknown and unknowing, that is, the essence, the Logos of Love, which is the Creator. As this love is unconditional, whole and pure, just so is free will absolutely unpredictable.

Thus, as each sub-sub-logos—each of you—chooses to enter upon the path of accelerating your spiritual growth, you are dealing with a sensibility of mind which is all too firmly connected and concerned with the bodily, mental and emotional needs which have been acquired within the illusion that you now enjoy. Many, many choices that you make are not based upon spiritual principles, for your experience of life is that it moves too quickly sometimes in its actions for an entity to have a sense of proportion about what is occurring. The reasons for this are bound up in the principle of free will. No two entities are alike, and no one entity shall remain as it is throughout an incarnation.

The incarnate state is one of constant flux, learning, loss and opportunity. The loss is artificial in that it consists of the empty places made by those persons once loved, now discarnate; by truths, once loved, but now seemingly necessarily discarded; by ideals which the world you live in has provided enough catalyst to undermine in your own experience. And so, because free will, like the wind, blows hither and yon in all entities, it is inevitable that those who plan to learn as much as possible in one lifetime will arrange to have serious and fundamental challenges to its understanding or grasp of the principle of unconditional love.

In order for an entity to be able to find the self that can do this, it was necessary to find that which is woven with free will in order to make a physical illusion, and work with it in such a way that you are at least temporarily able to untangle the strands of love and free will. When you see, and know, and trust the absoluteness of love, the mind may rest much easier, the heart may become aware of its truer intelligence, and the responsibilities of meeting the challenges of difficult relationships and impossible situations begins to change and transform in shape.

We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite One have often spoken of the need to discipline the personality. By this we do not intend to mean the controlling, the suppression or the repression of any feeling that you truly feel, any thought which you truly think, any action which you do feeling that it is appropriate. These are each entity’s choices, choices which one is unable to make while remaining concerned primarily with that which is mundane and of no spiritual consequence as far as you subjectively can see.

In fact, all things are fraught with spiritual teaching. All of the creation sings its song of love to you. But it is the disciplined personality who has gained the perspective on the value of mentation and the far greater value of the infinite wisdom of the heart. Thus, when challenging situations occur, one who has the firm foundation of a life in faith will not fear the unforgivable, will not fear the unacceptable, will not need, in fact, to react unless as an entity of the heart there are those things which you feel may aid in a spiritual way that one which is unacceptable.

Thus, your only responsibility is to love. You do not have a free will responsibility at this point, for free will does not forgive, it is love that forgives. Thus, as you step aside, disciplining your own freedom in order to serve and learn, you experience a love you could never experience within your humanity, a love which is in infinite supply. And to that difficult or impossible situation or entity you simply send love, and use your mental capacities to reason with yourself as to the cause of unacceptability, gazing at the situation, not with an eye to solving it, but with an eye to understanding the unacceptable entity or condition, and when that is done, to forgive it, to forgive yourself, and be clear and ready to gaze without any fear whatsoever at the situation or entity, for there is love and service in this opportunity.

The first group question for this session was the same as it was in the previous session, and that was how to deal with an unacceptable person or situation when you have done all that you can? How do you deal with what is possible to deal with and what must be accepted? Q’uo began their response by saying that when we are in the midst of dealing with an unacceptable person or situation, our heart or deep mind has an opportunity to learn our lessons. Then Q’uo spoke about our free will which is unique to each of us and which is unpredictable because many of our choices are not spiritual in nature, and even those that are spiritual may change from time to time according to our accumulation of a great variety of experiences. So they said it is necessary to utilize the unchanging nature of love and then “the mind may rest much easier, the heart may become aware of its truer intelligence, and the responsibilities of meeting the challenges of difficult relationships and impossible situations begins to change and transform in shape.” Then Q’uo said that when we can discipline our personality and rely on the wisdom of our heart we can use our love to deal with unacceptable or unforgiveable situations. Q’uo said that this is not a matter of using our free will. It is a matter of choosing to use our heart to love and forgive any unacceptable person or situation. On April 26, 1992, Q’uo revealed how we may use the wisdom of our hearts:

Thusly, we would not recommend that one approach each and every opportunity of service by using the calm and detached logic of the analysis of events in terms of spiritual principles. It is perfectly acceptable to inform oneself of one’s opinion from this point of view, but it is the wisdom of the heart which moves the servant into open and full giving of the self without reservation, not the temperate demands of logic. This information may be helpful to ponder when one truly does feel that one is not of service. In this case, an analysis of the entity’s situation in terms of the opportunities for spiritual maturation may yield telling results and we recommend it for this use.

This is a simple and seemingly rather glib summary. It does not take into account the enormous difficulty of doing these things within your illusion. And so we would speak of an aspect of your illusion that is absolutely necessary to the illusion, but is that which baffles almost all entities. You know free will if you know the wind. The winds move here, the winds move there. The winds bring rain and are a boon to your Earth. The winds bring storm and destroy life upon your Earth. The winds are zephyr soft, touching the cheeks of lovers on a summer night. The wind carries raging snow that blinds those who challenge it. In short, the wind is an influence not to be influenced.

In metaphysical sense, the wind that blows for you and moves you about on a level of which you are unaware is free will. It cannot be predicted. It cannot be wholly understood, and yet it is the same experience for all entities. If the wind is blowing within your illusion, no matter how many entities experience the same wind, they all will acknowledge that it has passed them, for they have felt its effect. The world of metaphysical things is more subtle. The effects of free will are just as subtle, but set up situations within your energy web where you are open and vulnerable to the challenge of a distortion of love brought about by another’s free will.

So it is not you that finds another unacceptable, nor is it another which is unacceptable. You have the same nature, but you do not have the free will you had yesterday, and tomorrow it will shift again. So it is with the other entity. It is that free will portion of yourself, not your deepest self, that generates judgment such as “unacceptable,” “unforgivable.” Within the heart which is freed by a discipline of personality, and given a path of service by freely made choice of the entity, love abides, and your instinct is to send love to that entity which is in enough agony to act inappropriately and to act as painful catalyst for you.

In this painful catalyst you may see in the other’s free will choices, free will choices of the self, made with distorted understanding. Consequently, all statements of judgment of others are made not with the heart, but with the mind and undisciplined free will, for the heart will not judge. The heart will accept and allow the self to be the self, and other selves to be their selves. The heart of one who is positively oriented does not control an unacceptable situation to cause it to be acceptable. It controls the often destructively illusory free will portion of itself that it may move into a deeper self, into the wisdom of the heart, and from that standpoint all conditions of entities are seen as part of a blueprint of evolution which it is up to you to learn to grasp at least in essence.

Now, the wind is often used also as a simile for that which in the spiritual distortions called Christianity is named the Holy Spirit. As all things are holy, if it is acceptable to each we shall use the term, “Comforter.” That which is carried upon the wind of spirit is alive. The spirit of the consciousness of Christ is alive and speaks to the world today saying, “Peace, peace, forgive, console, pardon, and start with yourself.”

Now, this Comforter does not give comfort any more than the teacher Jesus the Christ gave comfort. Healing this entity gave, and freely, strength to the weak, sight to the inwardly blind as well as outwardly blind, strength of limb to the lame. But did this entity ask to be understood? In your experience, has any entity whom you have considered great or wise asked that you understand him or her? It is unlikely, for it is unimportant to those who live in the heart. They do not need to be understood, and consequently they do not attempt to be understood. Spirit does not attempt to be understood. The comfort is in its understanding, and your comfort also is in understanding.

Now once again Q’uo said that our free will is unpredictable and blows like the wind in all of our experiences to judge our experiences and other people in a way that may change from time to time. They said that it is our free will that judges another person or situation as unacceptable, but it is our heart that is strengthened by the discipline of our personality that sends love to that person or situation that has provided the catalyst for us. Q’uo said that it is our free will that judges others as being unacceptable, but our hearts will accept and allow ourselves to be ourselves and others to be themselves as well. They said that our hearts control our free will and allow us to move deeper into the wisdom of our hearts that helps us to see the overall blueprint of the evolutionary process. Then Q’uo said that if we live in our hearts we do not need to be understood by others, but we should, instead, attempt to understand others, for it is in understanding that we find our comfort. On December 15, 2018, Q’uo spoke of the value of living in our hearts:

Thusly, we would not recommend that one approach each and every opportunity of service by using the calm and detached logic of the analysis of events in terms of spiritual principles. It is perfectly acceptable to inform oneself of one’s opinion from this point of view, but it is the wisdom of the heart which moves the servant into open and full giving of the self without reservation, not the temperate demands of logic. This information may be helpful to ponder when one truly does feel that one is not of service. In this case, an analysis of the entity’s situation in terms of the opportunities for spiritual maturation may yield telling results, and we recommend it for this use.

Step back, back and back to the beginning, before the beginning of time to the very beginning of creation. You were created before your environment. You are the light, the active principle of the Creator, and we use that term apropos, for we wish you to understand the term “principle” as we use it. You are, in the deepest sense, the Creator, and in distortion upon distortion, because of your illusion and your own biases within that illusion, you are more or less a distortion of the Creator. Thus, you too begin to take within yourself the unpredictability and the divine guidance of the wind of Spirit. Without fear you are capable of moving as you feel to move, capable of learning that which you feel you need to learn. Little by little, the disciplining of that free will, which is your very nature, yields to meditation, contemplation and experience, and you take the wind within yourself, the disciplined wind of the most perfect free will, that will to seek, know and be a transparent exhibit of the love that flows through all.

The process of opening one door while closing another is again difficult because of perception problems in this illusion. Free will in its raw and untamed state is almost precisely the opposite of true freedom of will, which is the will of one who is disciplined and freely chooses. Thus, not being blown about by the wind of the self, you may then internalize the wind and become aware of the Spirit. And as you become aware of this Spirit you shall find yourself moved in mind, in emotion, and sometimes even geographically, in order to do those things which you have not after all forgotten you came to do.

The wisdom of the heart is full of this blueprint. The conscious mind, governed by logic and free will, can never accomplish this. To move from head to heart, while retaining the concept of mind, is not anatomically sensible, but it is the best vocabulary we have to describe the deep love and security which you may find when you have accepted the wind within you, for you are Spirit. It is the body which is weighty and full of chemical reactions that are part of this illusion.

As you offer your free will to the blueprint you have planned for yourself, you become free and enabled in your actions. In this awareness there is nothing unacceptable, nothing unforgivable, but only that which may be seen as this or that distortion of love brought about by untamed free will. Free will holds up the mirror to free will. If you gaze at another and find unacceptability, realize that that is a mirror. Now you may do your inner work, for you have been aided by that entity which has been disparaged and judged. What is there within you that must be forgiven? For if you judge others you have not forgiven yourself. If you are completely self-forgiven you have absolutely no need to judge, for you have no fear and nothing to defend. You can see through the free will, having seen through your own. You can tame the wind for yourself, and you can be of service to others by mirroring to them as honestly as possible that these are actions that you choose to make, and you choose them because they are of spiritual aid in the service of the Creator to this beloved self, that is you, in other-self form.

You picture yourselves, most naturally, as entities with a head and a backbone, two arms, two legs, the requisite number of organs and digits. You are a kind of entity you cannot understand as you gaze upon your physical vehicle. The difference between you attempting to move through…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

…the difference in your consciousness between seeing yourself as this physical vehicle, and seeing yourself as spirit, is the difference between being blown by the wind and being the good and kindly wind that blows love always, that is open and fearless and is vulnerable, unafraid. Once you have found your own essence you shall never fear again. It is the catalyst caused by facing the unacceptable, and finding ways to offer love and to glean and harvest love in the situation as well, is the wisdom gained through this shift in identity from chemical plant which moves you about to the essential self which is humble, nonjudgmental, completely unafraid, completely free, and completely able and willing to listen, to understand and to love the tormented hearts of those caught in this illusion which you now enjoy, caught painfully, caught unbearably.

If someone is unacceptable to you, that entity is deafened by the wind of his own free will, and has an extraordinarily distorted expression of love to offer. You cannot heal or help the other self, but only make your own choices. The entity that is unacceptable does not impinge upon you. It is merely catalyst if you still have work of your own to do in forgiving yourself for being all things, including many, many things which you consider unacceptable. You are carving out for yourself the right to ride the wind of Spirit. Judgment, which is behind unacceptability, and fear, which is behind judgment, anchor your feet to the ground. You cannot fly, you cannot soar, you can only be injured and injure as you seek through judgment and the putting on of mental and spiritual protection to attempt to make yourself more comfortable in the prison of your bones and sinew.

When you find the love within in its pure state you are not confined, you are not finite. You have found your own eternity. In this eternity the wind of the present moment offers all lessons, whether it is necessary for the illusion which causes judgment to seem appropriate to be very hard to penetrate, so that you, that beautiful and wondrous unique spark of love and free will, will make your choices to judge or to appreciate, to ask for service or to be an agent of infinite service. If you are able to let your love free to ride the wind of Spirit, you are always following the blueprint you have laid out for your own growth.

This is the density wherein you decide the nature of all entities about you as well as yourself, and with this understanding choose how you shall serve that mystery that created you and all that there is. Do you wish your feet anchored to the earth by judgment and the need to get points across, or do you choose to soar in the wind of Spirit, judging neither yourself nor others, but asking, and asking, and seeking and hoping to be love, to be a channel for truth, to share in the infinite that your light may be a catalyst that frees others from their own bondage.

Now Q’uo said that in essence we are the Creator with that same desire to know ourselves that the Creator has to know Itself. They said that we have that wind of the Spirit in us that we can discipline by meditation and contemplation to become the example of the love that flows through all. Then Q’uo said that through this discipline we may become aware of the Spirit within us and discover the lessons that we have programmed for our incarnations through moving from our heads to our hearts. Then we will find nothing unacceptable or unforgiveable, but we will simply find the lessons that we have come to learn as we use the mirroring effect from what we see in others and then forgive ourselves when needed. Q’uo said that when we forgive ourselves then there is no need for us to judge others, and we can then be of service to others by mirroring to them as honestly as possible as their being the Creator which is truly us as well. Q’uo went on to say that once we see that our true essence is Spirit we may go forward fearlessly into our open heart to accept and forgive the unacceptable and unforgiveable situations. They said this would allow us to find the love within us in its pure state that reveals our own eternity, and then we can let our love ride the wind of Spirit, learn the lessons of our life pattern, and become a light that can help others to free themselves as well. On June 23, 1990, Q’uo described the process of forgiveness that can allow us to become a light to others:

In order to forgive the unforgivable, which is part of the lesson of learning to love without condition, it is extremely helpful to take that person within yourself and earnestly and humbly to pray for that person, for as you pray and intercede for such a person, you will grow to love that person, you will have compassion upon that person, and these changes in consciousness are wonderful catalyst for that person to be forgiven, that that person may also begin the long cycle of learning to forgive. Your biases are not incorrect. You have earned them. Do not abandon them and simply say that all things are acceptable. You are miles and miles away from this elevation. First you must learn to love, and you must learn to have wisdom, and you must learn to have compassionate wisdom. Right at this moment in your development, you are simply attempting to love. Of yourself you cannot do this, but the great original Thought of Love is with you. You may block it out, you may deafen yourself against its call, but it lies just beyond the door that you can open at any time, waiting to comfort, to ease, and to offer grace.

We are sorry for having spoken so long, but we believe this may deepen the understanding of that which was offered in the previous session upon this subject. If there are other questions we are always glad to entertain them.

We have had one question concerning ourselves, which is fairly quickly answered, we feel, and so we shall end this instrument’s contact by speaking briefly upon this.

We are a social memory complex whose teacher of choice of the sixth density is the Ra social memory complex. We, as you, hold this complex in esteem. We were already in very harmonious contact with this group. That which occurred, though always possible, is rare, usually because a channeling entity will not be capable of receiving information of one type or density and another as well which it then relinquishes. Our teachers, those of Ra, were pleased when this group refrained from continuing to attempt to contact an entity whose ability to communicate was severely limited by a need for harmony not often seen in your density. These of Ra were, and are, grateful for the total willingness of this channel and this group to be of service in a way which was within the blueprint of the existence of each, even though this meant sacrifice on each entity’s part.

As the entities which survived the most serious of psychic greetings continued in the same dedication, undeterred even by the apparent cessation of life of a beloved one, those of Ra felt it was still appropriate to communicate with this group insofar as this entity could carry a message in a stable manner. And so those who are known to you as Ra suggested to us a signal honor, that of sharing at the level of social memory complex sharing, with the wisdom and the compassion of our teachers.

This was a project which was apart and separate from the Law of One channelings. It is we of Latwii who speak with this instrument, following the general way of conscious contact, gauging by feedback the stability of the group, the purity and stability of the instrument, so that we know that which is possible to be shared without damage to the instrument, and that which the instrument would sacrifice too much of itself in bringing through.

So we are both Latwii and Ra; or you may think of us as Latwii taught constantly and in a much closer configuration than most teachers and students; or you may see us as a melded principle, as we both serve the one Creator, and are both upon the same path, and are more and more of the nature of Ra, the lower awareness being blessed always by close association with higher truths and spiritual principles. So, too, has this instrument had the experience of becoming in part one with those of Ra, as it spent many hours in the company of those of Ra, who looked over it as others of our social memory complex spoke for Ra. Only to the Creator can thanks be given for this occurrence, for Its approval, and for our carrying out this attempt at service. We thank you for this opportunity with our whole heart.

We would at this time close the meeting through the one known as Jim.

This morning I ran a few errands with my first stop being at the Speedway gas station to fill my left front tire with air. Then I stopped at the PNC Bank to withdraw some cash. My third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy more food and non-food items.

This afternoon I did my weekly vacuuming of the first floor of the house, and then I did a load of laundry.

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

January 19

Your Relationship With Your God

I am of the spirit of the love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in that full consciousness which is love in living form.

Since before the beginnings of time you have been with your Creator. And until the very last tick of creation’s clock, you shall still be one with the Creator. This is the bedrock of your relationship with your God.

We are aware that your daily life does not often show evidence of this primal relationship. Yet if you may open your heart to the spirit of love, that spirit, asked within, may use that invitation to awaken, engage and fire the active relationship of humankind to deity.

May you, in humility, seek not things but principles, the principles of truth, love and peace. To ask the spirit of Jesus the Christ to move within your heart this day is to ask that you be used to set on fire the world around you with the power of love. Though this power is quiet and may be expressed by soft words and gentle smiles, the impact of the spirit of love is transformative.

And so you may be a source of love. In spite of all human frailty, you have only to ask. You have only to trust. You have only to be at peace with who you really are and why you really are here. May you as children of the One Father be about the family business of sharing love with all that there is.

Peace to 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 September 9, 1990:

The question this evening has to do with acceptance, and the ability to balance the responsibility one has in a situation that one sees as a problem. We have the ability to act, to react, to think, to analyze, to respond in different ways, and eventually, if one discovers that there is nothing that one can really do, it seems you are faced with the need to accept. How do we balance the need to accept what is in a situation with the need to have an effect upon a situation and to form the situation in a way that we think would be most helpful to ourselves or another person?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. Greetings to each of you in the love and the light of the infinite Creator. We are most glad to be with you once again to share our thoughts with you and to accept the sharing of your meditation with us. We use terms like honor and privilege and gratitude when we speak of the opportunity of sharing our thoughts with you, sharing just a few steps of your path as we sit with you in meditation, and it seems like perhaps the overdoing of courtesy or politeness. Indeed, we are neither courteous nor polite; we are truthful. We are with your people at this time for this purpose. Our work with color is for this time period finished. We have, as you know, become a principle with Latwii’s agreement to move from the study of your color complexes in the various densities as you approach harvest in order to be able to aid the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow that you know as Ra.

Thus, at this particular space/time we have only one hope, and that is to serve. This is our means, not all of it, but a large part of it, of polarizing further towards service to others as our method of accelerating the pace of our spiritual development. So there is no one-sidedness; we do not stoop to speak to you, for you are our equals, indeed, you are ourselves, and we, you. The rest is illusion, for all is love.

The question that you pose this evening is one which seems, upon the face of it, to be a question regarding challenges that are impossible to achieve a satisfactory outcome with. When things are unacceptable to an entity, the unacceptability is usually not shallow, not having to do with the petty and the mundane. Usually, those relationships which one finds unacceptable for one reason or another are a substantial portion of the catalyst for learning that you yourself have set into motion before the incarnation. You are not faced with these unacceptable relationships because of some failure on your part to understand, or some failure on the offending entity’s part.

Rather, you are gazing at a situation and you may assume, in most cases, that this is not unacceptable in the deepest sense, but rather a condition of relationship that you yourself chose because you felt that there were, in your loving and compassionate nature, those difficulties within yourself which made the limits of your love and compassion, and the very power of your metaphysical or magical being, less. These you wished to bring into perspective. These are lessons with which you wished to work. You have in unveiled knowledge before incarnation done this to yourself, for there is almost no one upon your planet that has not come far enough along the path of choice that he cannot work actively in the arrangement of catalyst for an upcoming incarnation. Therefore, those things that you find unacceptable were intended by you for your own spiritual work.

When you gaze about you, you gaze about you with unique eyes. No one else sees what you see. No one else hears what you hear. No one else interprets things as you interpret them. There are times when the strongly inbred, inherent, deep personalities of two entities are unacceptable, either one to the other, or one-sidedly. It is because this problem has been worked on in this relationship in past incarnations.

However, that which is known among your peoples at this time as karma is only one reason of several that one may have had when one chose such relationships. One very substantial reason is the desire to graduate from this density, and seeing a lack of one particular way of loving within the self, the larger self and the God self choose to make agreements with those with whom there is no previous karma, but rather it is an agreement based upon one’s own desire to work upon one’s ability to love so that one may graduate and move onward to learn more harmonious and different lessons in the next density.

We would, in fact, give as our opinion that it is by no means the majority of entities who find each other unacceptable in some way, shape or form, that have had karma to be balanced. It is just as possible that the entities that you truly are—they being far more pure than you can imagine—have made agreements, one with another, for the mutual benefit of each. Each need usually in these relationships to learn the same kind of lesson about love, and we believe that the word in the question was “acceptance.”

The group question for this session was how do we balance the need to accept a situation with our desire to affect a situation in a way that we feel would be helpful to us and to another person? Q’uo began their response by saying that most people are able to take part in choosing their lessons in their incarnations that will help them be more loving, but this means that they will need to be able to balance some difficult catalyst in order to learn those lessons. They went on to say that we are all unique beings that see people and experiences in unique ways which can add to the experience of catalyst. Q’uo said that karma from previous lives may also be a factor in planning the lessons of our incarnations, but that it is more likely that people have made pre-incarnative choices to work together on certain lessons that will allow them to grow in acceptance or love for the mutual benefit of each person. On July 6, 1995, Q’uo described the way that we may find acceptance for ourselves and others that will accelerate our spiritual journey:

Yet, each entity and event is the Creator knowing Itself in a way mysterious to most. Yet, each in any portion of the experience may increase its evolutionary progress by finding the joy, the love and the light of the Creator within that person, that moment, that event, that thought. When this can be done in a relationship, then the relationship has served as the means by which the continuing ability to expand the point of view and the acceptance, the love, and the compassion for that which falls within the point of view then is also increased and the entity has moved itself further along its chosen path of evolution.

We would suggest, to begin to get an idea of things one may do in this situation, that you think of the pure and beautiful spirit that you are and that the other entity is, who fearlessly and boldly and courageously made these agreements to come into a path which involved the ordeal of not being understood, and in many cases, not being loved. It is even more intense an experience within your illusion for those who are wanderers, for their sensitivity registers at all times a state of some discomfort with the planetary energies of your particular sphere. It is as though you faintly remembered a beautiful tune, a wonderful song, a lovely poem, but you cannot find it. That is because the veil has been dropped, and those things are not within this illusion.

Thus, we suggest that you immediately, when faced with a recognizable situation of finding another unacceptable, move back and contemplate the process of spiritual evolution. It is, in each case, a drama, of whatever kind you wish.

The natural wish among your people at this time is to be loved and accepted and cherished. Very few entities are able to experience this state of mind in a steady state, for it does not fit the parameters of the illusion you now enjoy. Largely, there will be some misunderstanding at all times between all peoples, for the veil has been dropped, and instead of gazing at the perfect beauty of the true being encased in such heavy chemicals and water and all of those things which are held in the complex energy field of your body, it is necessary to look at that which is not visible, that which is not even thinkable within the illusion.

So, it is well to put the intellect to one side, and to realize that this acceptance of entities which you find unacceptable is for you important, not to find the solution, for when these agreements have been made before incarnation they normally have been made because the entities have very, very deep biases which will give each other catalyst; thus, it is unlikely that the outward situation changes. Although it is always possible, it is not probable.

Now, when it is karmic, as you would say, it is simply a matter of forgiving, and the lesson is over. Most people this close to graduation are somewhat beyond these lessons, or at least have very little karmic difficulties which have been bred within this illusion. What, then, can you do? “Where,” as this instrument likes to quote, “is the love in such a situation?”

The answer, though simple, is difficult to enunciate. Those upon your planet have, because of their sightlessness, metaphysically speaking, the tendency to wish to control situations so that they are not so agonizingly difficult. It is a natural inclination for those sensitive souls who are already dealing with discomfort from the vibrations of third density. When you add to that intense and unacceptable relationships, you have given yourself a great deal to learn. May we assure you, nevertheless, no matter how unglamorous it seems or how sorrowful, that you have a good deal at stake in taking on these substantial challenges.

You as a spirit are honored and thrilled to be able to be incarnate at this time. Yes, you incarnated here, each of those in this circle, as wanderers, with a wish to help others. But because of the opportunities of third density, it is quite typical for those who wish to serve also to wish to become even more transparent to the love and the light of the infinite Creator. This, of course, does mean the ability to accept the unacceptable, to love the unlovable. You did not come here to learn how to be loved. You came to this particular sphere to love. If the unacceptability of someone close to you is not recognized as cold-bloodedly as possible as the opportunity you have given yourself to accept the unacceptable portion both of yourself and the other person, then you shall at least know the direction in which to move.

Now Q’uo said that we should remember that we all are beautiful souls who have incarnated into the third density where we will experience not being loved or understood, and that this is especially true for wanderers who have come from their home planets where there was love and understanding. Q’uo said that the veil of forgetting insures that there will always be misunderstandings between people in order to provide us the opportunity of accepting the unacceptable and to love the unlovable so that we become transparent to the love and light of the Creator. They said that we have not come here to be loved, but to love. On April 9, 1989, Q’uo confirmed this statement:

All the lessons that you are learning now have to do with how to love the unlovable, how to accept the unacceptable, how to remain radiant though all of the negative seeming experiences of the illusion, how to refrain from armoring the self.

Let us back up and review just a bit of information about the way entities think within your illusion. In your illusion things are finite. The highest form of communication among your peoples is word by word communication, a most difficult way of gaining understanding, because even the most intelligent and dedicated communicator uses words which have more or less power for the self, but not the same power for the other self. Consequently, communication on a logical, conscious level is almost bound to be often extremely difficult, never impossible. Does this sound like a challenge you would give yourself?

We have spoken before of mirrors. When there is an unacceptable relationship, part of the love in the lesson is to realize that this unacceptable entity is yourself, not because of something unique between you two, but because we all are one. When both entities who have placed themselves in situations where they are in relationship with a difficult personality for them, the natural human attempt is to communicate, or to avoid. To avoid dealing with the relationship is to turn your back on a challenge you have given yourself.

We may note that taking this challenge too seriously will cloud your heart so that it cannot operate properly. If one of the entities does not yet remember why it chose this relationship, then it is that the love lies in seeing into the physical vehicle, seeing and comprehending in trust and faith and without fear. Thus, each time that you see the unacceptable entity, it is very well for you to say to yourself, “I came here to love and serve. I do not have to be loved. I do not have to be understood. I do not have to be consoled. For all of these resources are within me.” This is the thought process, as you clear out the attic of mistaken ideas, that brings you closer and closer to high polarization and service to others.

When one says “unacceptable,” one is judging the self and the other self. The thought itself is damaging. If there is a possibility of keeping the mind centered long enough to say, to yourself, “I am here to serve, I am here to love, I am here to forgive, to heal,”—and all of these things are possible through surrender to the self in its higher forms, which in the end becomes the God self—if you can take the few seconds to remember who you are, what sort of being that you are, and if you correct yourself every time that you say “This is unacceptable” within your mind, you are most likely to make great progress. Progress on your part is not dependent on progress upon the other person’s part. Your part is simply to learn better how to love unconditionally.

There are many, many, many distortions of being, and all of you are fooled. You have suspended your disbelief by a radical move of moving into service in third density where there is a veil of forgetting. Now, you know that that veil is there, and you know that beyond that veil lies a truth that is a higher illusion, that is, one closer to that which is the mystery of creation than the one you now experience. Thus, it is well to tread lightly upon your own thoughts, to avoid any sort of blame of yourself or the other person, to recognize that neither of you has learned exactly who you are, exactly where you are going. Third density is a density in which learning is done in very dim light, in which choices must be made by blind faith against a backdrop of often quite negative circumstances. Are you your circumstances? Are you your relationships? Or are you a co-Creator?

Now, we would answer in two ways the practical, down to earth—please forgive our pun—tools of dealing with this situation. First of all, it is necessary to see that the responsibility for this reaction is not the fault of the catalyst that you have been given, but the fact, which is not a fault but merely a condition, that you are not yet able to see that other self as whole and perfect. This is an attitude, a bias, that you came here to shift and change. To one who has no fear, to one who wishes only to serve and love, nothing is unacceptable, for each entity is the Creator, or as this instrument would say in its distortion of belief, each entity is the Christ. All of you are potentially Christed beings. It is up to you as to how you go about moving along the path towards unconditional love.

Then Q’uo said that clear communication is difficult by using words because each person uses words in different ways, and if we want to know what gives us the greatest knowledge about what we really find unacceptable is to realize that people we have misunderstandings with are simply mirroring back to us those very qualities that are within us. Q’uo continued by saying that the best way to deal with this realization is to remember that we have not come here to be loved, but we have come here to love, to serve, to forgive, and to surrender to our God-self, and become a co-Creator, a Christed being. On November 8, 2002, Q’uo described the process where we may become a co-Creator:

Each has the capacity to embrace and move into that role in which the self becomes the co-Creator in such a way that love is opened from the creative principle through the vulnerability and the imperfection of the human experience and the human choice, and love is made visible by imperfect hands and weak and uncertain wills. They somehow have launched themselves into the midair of faith and inspiration.

The second way that we would suggest that you think about this situation is to gaze within the self, and to try to communicate, not with another person, but with the self, for the root of the seeming difficulty in all of its enormity, often, is that there is that within yourself which still retains some desire for control and for protecting the self from the realization that the faults that you see in others are only a mirror image of yourself. If you did not have work in consciousness to do in an area, you would not react by having difficulty. Those things you have already learned become part of the human comedy. Your goal, to put it whimsically, is to see more and more of life, not only as the opportunity to serve and love and move forward in your own development, but to appreciate and find, in the end, merriment in all facets of the human experience.

You are within your body human, that is, a term connected with incarnation itself. Humans are those who breathe in the limitless love and light of the infinite Creator, without realizing by any outward knowledge or any proof that they are doing so. So turn this mirror clearly towards yourself, and release the other who is unacceptable in your thoughts when you are working with your own contemplations, prayers and meditation, for the only entity that you may effect changes within is yourself.

It is the gift of grace, of simple faith, that enables one to pull away from the seduction of confrontation and unwise communication. It is better to remember that one is a servant, a humble and loving servant to humankind. Those who are closest to you are usually those one finds unacceptable. Thus, you receive the catalyst that you asked for and that you need according to your own opinion so that you may erase from yourself those last vestiges of desire to control, desire to make things happen your way. What you wish to do in your heart of hearts is to move deeper, and to open the heart past those last conditions, those last expectations, remembering always that those expectations and feelings will encourage the use in your daily life of what you may call affirmations of the deeper truths and of your true desire, for what you desire will come about.

Thus, when you begin to think poorly of another, find a way to break into the pattern that you are attempting to change within yourself, that will allow you to judge another simply because you yourself have work to do in the same area, and therefore are uncomfortable.

This was not intended to be a comfortable life; this was intended to be an incarnation of very hard work, for the surrendering of the desire to control, and the acceptance of the need to be loving, whether there is love returned or not, to be understanding, whether there is understanding returned or not, is paramount in your path of service. This is what you are doing for yourself. This is the gift you gave yourself. Cherish it. Be honest with it. Be thankful for it. And use the tools of stepping back, making affirmations, and, if necessary, walking away from the situation in which you have to some degree become unable to do these things, long enough to be able to regain your perspective of infinity.

It is not that you have enemies and friends, that is the illusion. In truth, you do love all beings, as you love yourself, and if you do not love another, you must look within yourself to find why you are upset, why you cannot accept. With entities who are very close to you, and who are in this situation of mutual antagonism, the patterns have repeated themselves so many times in communications, each with the other, that they seem to become set in stone, and it seems impossible to change the situation. And that is true—you cannot change the appearance of anything. What you can do is realize, through the work that you do with your own consciousness, that you do love yourself, and you do love all others, for all of you are one being, and how could you hate, or find unacceptable, your own consciousness? To do so is to place the brake upon the advent of your spiritual evolution.

Then Q’uo said we could use the mirroring effect of seeing that which seems unacceptable to us is revealed to us by what we find unacceptable in others in a way that uses humor to enjoy the human comedy. They said that will allow us to release any other self or ourselves from judgment and realize that the only entity we can change is ourselves. Then we can use the gifts of grace and faith to release any expectations of others, and we can use affirmations of our true desire to move deeper into our hearts and love ourselves and all others as one being, the Creator. On September 5, 2010, Carla gave a talk at our Homecoming in which she encouraged us to love ourselves:

So let’s build our purpose. Let’s wend our way. Let’s find our own ways to love life. Let’s find our own ways to love ourselves. Let’s find our own ways to love the creation. Let’s work with whatever inspiration we want to by accessing the gateway to intelligent infinity and let’s do all that with joy.

Now, we are not suggesting that you become prim and proper. Perhaps the most effective tool to use in situations where you must move more quickly than you would prefer is a sense of humor. If you have a genuinely deep sense of humor about the human condition, the more outrageous the temptation to find another unacceptable, the more of the sometimes bleak, but always unimaginably funny, human comedy can be seen, if you are able to find the perspective to do so.

You are not your bodies. You are not your intellect. You are working to open your heart. We do not suggest that you embrace servanthood to the point of your own self-destruction unless you feel that it is your path to do so. What you wish to do, in truth, is to recognize what is your situation, and to keep recognizing that situation as it changes, accepting that the goal of this incarnation is neither happiness nor contentment, but service to others, and the learning, for yourself, of how to love without condition.

We ask you not to be discouraged as you strive and strive to do so, but seem somehow unable to accomplish that which you attempt. Long term relationships which have suffered from unacceptability in one way or another take an equally long period of time usually to untangle. Instead of wishing for the entity to do things your way, it is well to feel what you are feeling, but also, at a later time, to realize the dynamics of those things which give you catalyst. They are wonderful resources for your own work in your own consciousness.

We realize that as usual we have talked too long. We were about to launch into further considerations, but we feel that our time is up and this instrument wishes for us to say farewell through this instrument, and so we shall. We thank this instrument for speaking upon a subject which in truth she was loathe to attempt, as the instrument is indeed one of those who asked this question. We hope that the tools that we have made available are part of what you may use to move into harmony with love, acceptance and the allowing of all entities to be as they are, and that includes yourself. You cannot push a flower out of the ground. You must wait, nourish it, feed it, water it, let the sun shine upon it, and give all credit, all glory and praise and thanksgiving for the bloom to the Creator of that bloom. You all are stewards of an immeasurable bounty of riches. Your birthmark is joy unrestrained, and overwhelming love for all.

Now Q’uo repeated the value of our being able to see the humor of the human condition as a way of learning to love unconditionally that continues to repeat itself with difficulty and acceptance until we finally get the point of the process. Q’uo completed their response by saying that in the long run it is well for us to love and accept ourselves and others as they are, and to give praise and thanksgiving to the Creator for the opportunity to discover joy and love as our true nature. On November 15, 1998, Q’uo described the process of discovering that love and joy are deep within our being:

Dwelling within the finer bodies of self, gazing upon the possibilities of service and learning that were before you, each of you felt inspired and strengthened in this desire to move into this heavy illusion, to enter into the sea of confusion completely, accepting the forgetting of those simple truths that are self-evident within the realms of spirit, and taking hold of the opportunity to live a life that was a testament and an anthem of faith and love and joy, for these feelings, these pure emotions well up within you, and you yearned to express them with ever more purity.

We pray and hope and have faith that each may find this occurring as each works with his own catalyst. However, if our words have not aided, and do not speak as your personal and subjective truth, then as always we ask you to disregard them.

At this time we would transfer to the one known as Jim. I am Q’uo.

This morning I copied some information from our Brown Notebook information that was channeled by Edgar Cayce and put it in a three-notebook with a label of its contents attached. Then I went over to the Post Office and mailed it to Anna who said that she would like to read it.

This afternoon I used sandpaper and a razor blade to get paint spots off of the legs of the little ladder whose steps I painted black yesterday. Then I vacuumed the dust off the ladder and wiped it down with a wet rag.

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

You Have Good Gifts

I am the spirit of the full consciousness of love in the vibration which comforts this instrument. I greet you in the love of Jesus Christ.

The nature of the Comforter is both particular and personal. Yet it does expend itself in the movement from the winds of opportunity to the heart of one who prays that the Holy Spirit may therein enter.

The same principle which enlivens your heart and engages your attention in a spiritually rewarding manner may also then be used by you to show forth the glory of God to others. There is no deadness in the spirit, for all are alive in Jesus Christ.

Therefore, know that you have good gifts and are not going to find it necessary to act for your Lord without the help of the Holy Spirit. It was truly said that until the ending of the age Jesus would never leave His flock, for we are the principle of Jesus Christ and of the nature of Christ’s consciousness. Thusly you and we work together to shine the light of peace and understanding upon a world which does not yet understand that all that exists is, alike, holy.

We wish you peace, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from August 12, 1990:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet you again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any questions which those may find value in asking. Is there a query at this time?

Carla: In our family tree there is a myth or story…

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. Do you have a query at this time?

Carla: There is the story about the Garden of Eden. I’ve never known whether it was a literal Garden of Eden or whether it was just the symbol of the beings living then in third density. Is there a Garden of Eden and if so is that just an old part of the world or is that the general impression?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. This story, that of the creation of humankind upon your sphere in a Garden of Eden is one which has used semantic images and entities as a means of transmitting information that is primarily metaphysical in nature. Thus, there is no physical location that may be associated with this particular story other than the recapitulation of this creation within each entity as the entity becomes a conscious seeking entity.

Is there another query?

Questioner: This is a question for B, and we realize that you may not be able to answer, but she would be grateful for any information. She has been in contact with an entity known as Kega and her experiences with this entity have been very positive. Would you have any information for her about this entity that you could offer, perhaps about its origin, about any connection that exists between this entity and herself or any information at all?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query and that of your sister known as B. We scan this entity and find that its great desire to know more of the entity Kega is that barrier against which we may not pass for we do not wish to infringe upon this entity’s free will as it seeks those portions of its experience that are yet mysterious and which play an important role in its current path of seeking and of being of service to others. It is important for entities such as the one known as B to learn their way through the many mysteries, puzzles, confusions, doubts, disappointments and so forth which are a natural portion of each seeker’s path.

When an entity has offered itself as a vocal instrument as the one known as B has done, the need to protect this entity’s free will searching is doubled. For the entity has placed itself in a more obvious position of influence, not only the ability to influence its own journey and expansion of the point of view, but also the ability to influence others through the service that it has chosen.

We can only say to this entity that as it seeks the solutions and answers to the many queries which are natural to a seeker in this position that it utilize those tools which are already well known to it. That is, that it seek with the purest desire available to it [inaudible] through its contact that may be illuminating in the process of the evolution of the mind, body and spirit. That it might share this information with those interested in such, that it might give as freely as it has been given to it. And that when there are doubts and puzzles that it repair to that inner being within the self and meditate and pray until it finds that there is peace and resolution when before there was turmoil and doubt. This entity has utilized these practices for a great portion of its incarnation and we are aware that it continues upon this path with diligence. We send our blessings to this entity in its chosen service and we send also our desire that this entity continue in faith and in will upon that path that it has chosen.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Questioner: The group of people that [inaudible] has been working with here today is very positively oriented compared to the contacts that she has worked with, that are known as innocent contacts, and she’s noticed a great difference between those and what she’s used to in a Confederation contact. The parameters seem to be quite different and she’s noticed a great difference in the entity’s place on considerations of free will by the Confederation whereas with the innocent contact that doesn’t seem to be a consideration at all. Can you comment on those different kinds of contacts?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Those entities of this planetary sphere who have during some portion of their experience here have been incarnate and have walked upon your planet’s surface are natural citizens, shall we say, of this planetary influence and when they have retired themselves to the discarnate experience, that of the inner planes on this planet, carry yet with them this naturalized citizenship that allows them to speak in a more broad-ranging fashion concerning others of this planet, energies of this planet, and the potentials or possibilities within both the future and that which you know of as the past of this planet and of its inhabitants. This is a natural working out of the energies that are of this particular planetary sphere.

When we or others of an exterior origin to this planet answer a call that originates upon this planetary sphere and seek to be of service in our own way we find that there is what you have come to know as the Law of Confusion or that Law of Free Will which is necessary to consider before any service is offered. For our frame of reference and place of origin, as you would say, is not only other than this particular planet but is different enough in its parameters that we must remain within those concepts or principles which are general enough to unite all entities in our attempts to be of service to those which have called for our service. Thus we are far more restricted in those areas of which we may speak freely. For in many ways we are able to see those energies and entities which have, shall we say, gathered about a certain area or entity and have influenced this area or entity. We are able to see these in a way which is both more intricate and in some ways more misleading if we were able to comment upon them than are entities who are native to this planet in their ability to see and to comment upon such inter-relationships. Thus we find our service is more effective if we remain in those principles which unite rather than focus upon those principles which upon the surface appearance and examination would seem to separate entities, one from another, by the simple description of one as being more or less of this or that quality, location, determination or nature.

Questioner is asking again about a friend, B, who has been channeling sources that are called “innocent contacts” which don’t seem to place the same importance on free will as do the Confederation contacts in this meditation group. Questioner wanted Q’uo to comment on B’s innocent contacts. Q’uo began their reply by saying that the innocent contacts were composed of entities that had originated on this planet, and now they were in the discarnate state. Because they were of this planetary origin they could speak more freely when asked questions. Q’uo said that since Q’uo was of extraterrestrial origin they could not speak so freely but had to observe the Law of Confusion or the free will of any group on Earth that they spoke to. This meant that they needed to speak in more general terms that would unite people rather than speak more specifically in a manner that could be seen superficially to separate people as each person is unique. On December 15, 1996, Q’uo spoke of a type of inner guide that could speak more freely as they are part of the third-density entity’s family:

There are also those friends who may serve as guides who are of the third-density entity’s family, shall we say, and when we speak not only of the Earthly family and one who may have gone through the doors of death and rebirth before the entity to be guided but also of the family of the entity which works from incarnation to incarnation, perhaps one serving as guide or teacher while in the discarnate state and the other in the incarnate state, these trading positions from time to time or incarnation to incarnation.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you.

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

Carla: I have a final one and then I promise that I’ll leave you alone. [Inaudible] asked a good deal about the mysteries within those [inaudible] and wanted to know if he could ask specific questions in that line and also has requests from a colleague from the university who wished for you to tell him his social security number so that you could prove to him that you are real. The professor was aware that these questions were not useful as far as any spiritual or metaphysical meaning, and his question was why was he curious about things that have no metaphysical interest.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The entity of which you speak has found that there has been given through our contact information that is intriguing enough within his field of study that his curiosity about further information has moved in a fashion which you may describe as that of the shotgun. That is, he wonders if this contact is indeed legitimate, wonders if this contact can give further intriguing information, wonders if this contact can prove in an objective fashion to a colleague if it does indeed exist and can do tricks, shall we say.

We do not feel that this is at all unusual for many upon your planet to involve themselves in the seeking for information to enlighten and inspire the spiritual journey and also wonder about more mundane matters concerning the reality of this search for so much upon this path seems ephemeral, seems of the mind, seems to be slightly unreal. The setting is as the fool who walks off of the cliff without the slightest care as to where the foot shall be placed upon the next step. That is the nature of the journey for those who seek within the realm of the metaphysical, that which stands beside, indeed, that which undergirds your physical reality. However, we remind each seeker that those qualities and concepts and principles which are of most importance to each fail to be proven to any. For has any entity ever proven love, has any entity ever proven that there is such a thing as wisdom or peace which passeth understanding? Yet there are qualities such as these and others which each entity holds as a portion of its ideal and would give its very life for in the searching upon the spiritual journey. We are happy to speak upon the philosophical and metaphysical nature of any query, be it of mathematics or in any other field. However, we shall leave all proofs to those who write with pens and measure with rulers.

[Tape ends.]

Carla had a friend who was a professor in college and he and another professor wanted to know if Q’uo could give them the social security number of the other professor to prove that Q’uo was real. The friend also wanted to know why he was interested in such unimportant information. Q’uo replied that it was not unusual to many people who had an interest in spiritual matters to also wonder if some information that went beyond spirituality might also have a certain value in manifesting tricks in their mundane experience. Then Q’uo went on to say that actually there was really nothing on the spiritual path that could be proven, and that the spiritual seeker of truth needs no such proof. They also mentioned that they preferred to speak upon metaphysical nature of any experience and leave all proofs to “those who write with pens and measure with rulers.” On April 2, 1974, Hatonn described the value of truth over proof:

And this is our mission, to act through groups such as this one in order to disseminate information in such a fashion that may be accepted or rejected, that it may be in a state lacking what the people of your planet choose to call proof. We offer them no concrete proof, as they have a way of expressing it. We offer them truth. This is an important function of our mission—to offer truth without proof. In this way, the motivation will, in each and every case, come from within the individual. In this way, the individual vibratory rate will be increased. An offering of proof or an impressing of this truth upon an individual in such a way that he would be forced to accept it would have no usable effect upon his vibratory rate.

This morning I made an errand run with my first stop being at Porter Paints to buy a small can of black paint and a small paint brush. My second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up a prescription and some ice cream.

This afternoon I used the black paint and brush that I bought this morning to paint the little house ladder’s three steps and paint the platform black as the black steps had gotten white paint on them in my recent painting projects.

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

The Eyes, Ears And Heart

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

You have heard many times of eyes which cannot see and of ears which do not hear. The principle of the love of Jesus the Christ moves in spirit where it is called to open the eyes, open the ears, and unstop the heart. For the world seen without the spirit of love is a world of illusion and shadow.

With all of your heart, pray that the spirit may come upon you this day, that you may gaze at the beggar and see Christ; that you may gaze at the woman in rags and see a woman in fair, clean cloth; that you may gaze at the starving child and see the most gentle and worthy of beings; that you may gaze upon your landscapes which have been so torn by war and see the peace that will swallow such degradation with love; and that you may have the eyes of Christ and the ears of Christ.

Pray and open your heart to the spirit of love. We are the way out of illusion.

We leave you in that peace that the world of illusion can never know, 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. The Q’uo quote today comes from August 12, 1990:

The question this evening has to do with the general topic of the energies that are in motion in the Middle East, why there seems to have been such turmoil and confrontation within this particular area of our planet for so many thousands of years and what exactly is the pattern of the playing out of these energies that is now continuing in the Middle East.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. Greetings to each of you, my friends, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. What a blessing it is to join in your meditation this evening, to thread our energies through yours and feel our oneness with you as we both seek the mystery of the Creator of all that there is. We are especially glad to greet and welcome those who are coming to this meeting for the first time. We hope that we do not [inaudible] make your mind going on as well in speaking too long. This instrument speaks to us often in her mind of our wordiness. We shall therefore surge through this evening’s question with only one thought. We do ask each of you to be responsible for listening, understanding and taking in that which we say, but only as an opinion. We are not without error. We are not infallible. We are simply entities such as yourself who have been working to walk that path which leads home a bit longer, as you would estimate it in time. And so we reach a hand back to you hoping that we may be of service to you in our opinions and our thoughts. But please listen and if anything seems to be incorrect to you drop it and forget it without a second thought. For we would not mislead you nor be a stumbling block in your path of seeking.

That area of your Earth’s surface known as the Holy Land is and has been for millennia a trigger point, as this instrument would call it. A place where whatever an entity has done in working upon its own consciousness will be magnified. It is a powerful place. A place of beginnings. A place lost in the roots of time upon the surface of your planet. And to this place more attention has been given, more love extended. It is as though there were upon the surface of your planet certain places which have their own power. There is none so potentially great as that which you call the Holy Land.

The energy has been placed into that earth, that sky, and on beyond by the prayers, the cries of terror, the joy of learning, and the passionate yearning for understanding of many, many of your peoples through many, many of your generations. Were all of these people moved by some magical means to Cleveland they would not be doing that which they are doing. Rather, they would be responding to the portion of the Earth’s surface upon which they stand, this particular location not having any intrinsic spiritual power except that power that is understood to be in all things. That power is enhanced to some degree by those who lived there before you and your people and to some extent all of your land is blessed because those who lived before you, whom you call Indians, are greatly aware of the Law of One and the way of life which may be called conscious, magical or faithful.

Those who live in the Holy Land are in a place which magnifies that which is upon an entity’s heart. Now let us move away from this particular situation long enough to express the nature of your metaphysical makeup in terms of being a person of power, what some would call magic, what others would call wholeness. The Creator is best known to us as Love. Love in its classic meaning, that which may be called intelligent infinity, contains most of that which is the Creator. But the Creator, by the power of free will, has the desire to know Itself. And so creations begin in those parts of the Creator created of Love which is the Creator and an equal amount of free will, which is infinitely different for each person, have created each unique being, including yourself. Each experience that you have, each decision that you make is of vital interest to the Creator of all things. For as One gazes upon consciousness that is Its own consciousness becoming an actor upon the stage of the world, It learns about that infinite entity which has been made finite by this illusion in which you now enjoy yourself.

The group question for this session was: “What are the energies that are now playing out in the Middle East and which have been doing so for so many thousands of years?” Q’uo began their response by saying that the Holy Land is one of the most powerful places on the face of the Earth, and that this power enhances whatever work in consciousness and in the heart that any person living there has accomplished in its lifetime. On April 21, 1991, Q’uo gave a general description of places of power on Earth:

To begin to answer the questions that you have asked about spiritually helpful places to be—in the body, in the mind, and in the spirit—we would begin by gazing at the question of energy points or grids, places of power, as they are sometimes called among your peoples. The third density places of power are not particularly close together. The energy web does not have as many nexi of concentrated energy. With each level of vibration, each sub-octave of awareness, the energy grids become more tightened and numerous. Thus, if one were to superimpose over a chart of third-density energy centers, the selfsame chart of fourth-density energy centers of the planet would fit into it but would also greatly elaborate and expand the number and kind of places of power.

The Creator planned lessons based upon what It had learned from each of you and all beings that have been created and the last creation before this one. Its lessons were simple and you are at the heart of them. You first learn of consciousness itself and in that learning you may be anything, a rock, a sea, the wind, fire, earth. Everything is conscious that you may think of or touch. Everything is the Creator and when this has been seated firmly, you as an imperishable entity moving through these illusions learn the lesson of the light, of turning, of motion towards that which brings you warmth, blessing and help.

And so you experienced being part of the creation of the Father that you see about you—clouds, trees, animals. Eventually you are not just an animal but rather through loving some entity such as a pet who loves its master and being loved in return, your metaphysical self meets for the first time itself in a self-conscious manner. That is, as a person conscious of self.

This is your arena, your stage. Here you made a choice. You chose to express all those things that have gone before. All the lessons of consciousness and turning to the light with an innate love of that infinite One which made you. But there are two basic ways to express this love. You may attempt to serve others and thus are serving the Creator or you may attempt to realize that you indeed are the Creator and thus manipulate people so that you have control over them and have power in yourself. These are short explanations of that split, that choice which you must make as to how to express that love which you have for the infinite One which loves and created you.

There are lessons which await you: love, wisdom, the unification of love and wisdom so that for the first time love does not end in martyrdom nor wisdom in solitude. Once you have learned all these lessons you begin to turn back towards the Creator, your learning for this creation nearly done. The cosmos has experienced in terms of the time which is part of your illusion many millions of years. But as you are imperishable and will live eternally, whatever illusion of time you experience does not mean that there is a deadline or a threat. It is indeed true, as far as we know, that the time draws near for the close of this density of learning on this particular sphere. Consequently, many entities are here desperate to learn enough of the lessons of love to be able to graduate into the next density where there is much more harmony and where the lessons are those of one who has already chosen to love and be of service to others. It is indeed a different atmosphere than you are now experiencing and certainly different to that of your Holy Land.

We feel that you needed this background to understand that those who live in a place of power are like the crystals that you dig in your mines. Different crystals contain different properties and there are those healers that are able to use these properties to effect changes, to make entities feel more whole or healed. But often what does not occur to people is that the healer itself must be at least as crystallized within as the crystal it is holding or else healing will not occur in any significant amount.

Now Q’uo began to speak of the nature of the Creator to learn Its lessons from different levels of Its creation beginning in the first density of the simple consciousness of the earth, wind, fire, and water, and then in the second density of turning towards the light as plants and animals. Then Q’uo spoke of the third density being that we are as we learn to love others or to love the self, and as this choice is made we can graduate to the fourth density and continue onward through all of the densities as we blend our beings with the Creator once again. Q’uo said that at this time the graduation to the fourth density is at hand where we can experience the harmony of the creation in our choices to serve others, and this harmony is very different from the consciousness of the Holy Land where the people are like crystals that contain power and that healers can use this power to affect change and heal people. But they said that the healer must be as crystallized as its crystal or there will be no healing. On November 21, 1999, Q’uo gave the general principles of how healing with the crystal may be accomplished:

The general principle of the use of the crystal is that there is a geometrical and arithmetic relationship of various angles and sides and nature of the crystal itself which lends itself to certain kinds of uses depending upon the ability of the entity which utilizes the crystal to regularize and harmonize its own being, its own personality, with the crystal being used. Thus, the charging of any crystal is done by the focus of the intention within the heart and mind while in the meditative state upon the crystal which is held in various positions ranging from the lower to the higher chakras. This done over a period of time then creates a harmonic resonance, shall we say, between the entity and the crystal so that the crystal acts as that which magnifies the intentions of the entity using it.

So we have in the Holy Land those who are all potentially crystallized beings, even literally and physically speaking, that is, speaking of your physical vehicle that carries your consciousness around. You are potentially a crystallized being. So the greater portion of yourself by far is a kind of crystal. It is, however, not charged most of the time. That is the water that is a portion of all your fluids. They are all capable of crystallization. Great portions of your consciousness reside in a portion of your physical vehicle that is almost completely unused that is the frontal lobe. And there is great chance of crystallization there also which carries with it the inner centering consciousness of the energy center of the brow in what some people have called the indigo ray chakra.

More than this there are crystallized beings which you recognize as pyramids, the Sphinx, and other artifacts put there for the balance of this complex and troubled Earth. This crystallization has great power, yet it is out of the frame. It is not placed correctly because of the passage of time and because of its misuse in the past. It was intended to heal and seldom has it been given the chance to be used in that way. It was intended to be a place of initiation and at this point it cannot be what it wishes, what it was made to be, for it is no longer properly aligned.

Consequently, there is this great energy in this place of so many people’s thoughts and deepest feelings and prayers and that attention from the infinite One; and there are those of faith who are discarnate, who are there in hopes of helping to stabilize that place and the globe upon which it sits, but who are increasingly unable to be effective. The people have taken the power of crystallization and have chosen the path of separation, the path of controlling others for their own benefit. Called holy by so many, it experiences now a complex jungle of many, many entities whose lives dwell upon negative thoughts of holy wars and brave soldierly deaths.

It is at this time critical upon your planet that those entities of good faith and good will realize the importance that they have and the ability that they have to be responsible for lifting this heavy and powerful state of mind so that the entire planet is not engulfed in this dark tide of anger and grief.

As you meditate know that your consciousness is the most important thing about you. Your consciousness is light if your thoughts are joyful, if you find a cause for giving thanks and offering praise to the one infinite Creator. You can by your smiles and the lessening, unjudgemental ear share with people that light. They do not need to know how you came to be able to offer this. Never volunteer this information. Speak of these things only to those who ask of it of you. The world will change not because you are persuasive but because you are sincere, passionate and persistent in opening yourself, aligning yourself to become crystallized. We say the crystalline shape offers space, a spaciousness in which any sort of light which you wish may arrive. Each time as you decide to do that which indicates love for someone else and unselfishness of yourself, you are crystallizing your own being and lightening the consciousness of your planet.

It is not money that people need to solve this problem for man has his toys and always will. It is the realization that all people are powerful and they will be crystallized and opened up to depend on those repositories and carriers of love infinite and unending compassion.

We must stay away from the specific things that are occurring in this region but never to lose contact. We can only say the time now is critical. That that which is called the holy city is indeed a holy city not because the Creator considers it a holy city but because it is old, because self-conscious entities lived in society there for a longer time than almost any other place upon your sphere. Millions and millions of souls have placed heart and soul and mind towards the protection of, the pilgrimage to, the deep respect for the Holy Land. Those who are between incarnations or who have chosen to remain discarnate also are very sensitive to those such as Galilee, as Jerusalem.

The loves of the Creator have not always been the same but they have inspired the same faith. Unfortunately, the more crystallized of many of the entities who are most devout have chosen to place the power of their crystallization in attaining more and more power, wealth and importance, not truly realizing that they are a trigger point, so that that particular area becomes truly hostile and warlike; the will of necessity to be that which no one wishes; the war which takes all of your peoples and polarizes them in separation from each other. It is not a desired outcome from the standpoint that we have of service to others that this should occur. We would encourage each of you to allow yourself more and more to be a crystallized being, a planet healer, one who is love made manifest.

We will always fall down. We will always make mistakes. We will forget to meditate. We will not think upon our own personal power, your own deepest ideals. Do not by any means scold yourself or feel that you have in any way failed because of these things. Were you able to do all that we say you would be running out of lessons, not learning. Simply begin again. Persist, endure and love.

There is more that could be said upon this subject concerning the nature of the crystallization of entities and of how the crystallization of the pyramids and other such structures have caused changes. But we wish to not infringe upon free will. Therefore we satisfy ourselves with giving you the spiritual principles that make this particular area a sensitive area of this particular planet, more sensitive than many, many other somewhat sensitive areas, and to give some idea that the entities there have chosen to act in the way that they have.

Can you alter them? No, you cannot, not immediately. For all through the planetary consciousness, that the power that has become negatively oriented is short-circuited to some degree. Yet, my friends, you can in that you are part of the solution. If you do not pray, simply sit and think. Contemplate that which you are praying. Or visualize the love and the joy and the peace that you feel when you know that you are centered and in touch with the creative self within. Allow yourself to radiate like a beacon, a lighthouse and know that you are one of millions who attempt at this time to cause this planet to lighten this consciousness to feel it quite crystallized, now fuller and fuller of love. Many entities ask what is my service, what is my path, what must I do, what did I come here for? And we say to any and all the first and foremost thing of which you came here to do was to be loving in the face of a cold and unloving environment.

[Side one of tape ends.]

We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we shall continue, realizing that this instrument tells us that we must end quickly.

The illusion tends to give one the feeling that one is helpless and at the mercy of one’s environment. You are not helpless. You have always the power of choice. Chose to seek that mystery which is beyond our telling or understanding as well as beyond your own. Seek the mystery and the paradox of spiritual truth. Steep yourself in love knowing that you are loved, loving in return and experiencing with an authenticity which touches your very soul the forgiveness of yourself in every and all circumstances. Then may you forgive all about you. That too will diffuse this potential difficulty as harvest approaches upon your planet.

We thank you for listening. We urge you to take your own self and your consciousness quite seriously. For you are indeed children of love and there you are by yourself seemingly little, yet together you have the power to become transformed into that crystallized being which has no sense of smallness or largeness but only of being love. That love can transform the face of this Earth which you love so dearly. We hope that you shall take yourself seriously, not denying yourself laughter or fun or joy. Be [inaudible] when you meet sullen seekers who have not yet learned of the joy. That is the concomitant of love.

Now Q’uo spoke to the nature of the situation in the Holy Land as being that where most people have not moved into the higher energy centers such as the indigo-ray center so they are unable to manifest a sense of unity with all others. Q’uo also said that the pyramids and the Sphinx are no longer useful for balancing the energies of the Earth and the peoples of this area because of the passage of time and their misuse in the past. So Q’uo said that there were also discarnate entities attempting to aid those in the Holy Land, but they were not able to do so since so many of the people in the Holy Land have chosen the ways of separation and see war as the way to deal with each other. Then Q’uo suggested that each person on Earth could make a difference in the warring nature of any people by meditating and sending love and light to them and by using their daily round of contact with others to offer love and service that would crystalize one’s being and that would also lighten the consciousness of the planet. Then Q’uo spoke to the reason that the Holy Land and, more specifically Galilee and Jerusalem, are powerful places is that for thousands of years millions of self-conscious souls of different religions have lived in this area, but some of them began to focus on gaining power and wealth and began to separate themselves from others. On September 14, 2019, Q’uo spoke of the way that sending love and light to the population of Earth could be utilized by all:

Thus, the transition into the fourth density is underway and shall continue for an unknown period of your time, for there is, as we have said, much confusion upon your planet at this time. However, we would suggest to each seeker of truth that as you send love and light to your planetary sphere and its population, that love and light works in a resonant fashion with the love and light of the One Creator which exists within each entity, so that whatever possibility any entity has for positive harvestability is enhanced by this resonant quality.

Thus, as entities such as yourselves hold meditations sending love and light to the planetary population, you enhance the opportunity for this harvest to be completed and to be able to be perceived by each entity upon the planet. This is the great hope of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator. However, we, as you, stand upon the sidelines watching the play unfold. Eventually, the play will reach its final act, and the One Creator will be found in all.

Our thanks to you. We must leave this instrument for it is giving us a boot. Therefore we thank this instrument for its willingness to work with us and if the one known as Jim is willing to close the working through this instrument and leave the one known as Carla. We leave this instrument in love and in light. We are known to you as those of Q’uo.

This morning I drove to the vet and picked up some Pro Pectalin for Bosco to deal with his diarrhea.

This afternoon I washed a load of dishes in the dish washer, and then I washed a load of clothes downstairs and dried them in the dryer.

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

The Holy Ground Of Consciousness

I am the principle of Jesus the Christ which speaks to the world today. I am all those things that you think that I am, but most of all I am your own inner voice; your own inner comfort; your own inner peace.

Let us contemplate the holy ground of your consciousness.

Because of the troubles of daily life, the surface consciousness is littered with debris. The undercurrent of mind is littered with unspoken thoughts, unnamed fears, and unrecognized emotion.

Insofar as you may be able this day, return again and again, momentarily, to the holy ground upon which your consciousness, the very essence of your being, stands. It is no passing thing. It is, indeed, the representation of all that there is in creation.

Within you, abidingly and faithfully, that principle of love which is the Creator is your essence and constitutes the bedrock upon which you, as a timeless being, shall stand for eternity.

Return again and again to the peace, the strength, the power, the wisdom, and the love of love Itself. And from that spot within you comes a balance that shines in your vision and heals in the world outside of your eyes and inside your heart.

We leave you, healed, in the peace and love that abides within, 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 5, 1990:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet each again in love and light through this instrument. We realize that we have spoken for a lengthy portion of your time this evening, and once again we apologize for the wordiness which we find necessary in expressing those concepts which are our response to your most thoughtful query. We would ask if there might be any further queries at this time?

C: I have one, but on a slightly different subject. I study karate. There is a concept called the “chi,” which [inaudible] that the power dwells in the area [inaudible] down about three inches below the navel. I was wondering if you could tell me anything about this concept of chi, and its relationship to the [inaudible] energy chakras, as far as location goes?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We will do our best to speak to this query, though it is one which leads into a subject which is interesting and intricate. The center, physically, of the physical vehicle for most entities, is that location of which you speak, and for any entity which wishes to move its physical vehicle in a graceful, power-filled and controlled fashion, will do well to move from this center, with this center fixed in its consciousness, for from this center, or any center that may be measured by gravity, there is a leverage which is possible that is not possible at any other point within the physical vehicle. This is a function of what you would call your mechanical physics. Because an entity is well grounded or in a firm foundation at this point, it may exert force in any direction in a more efficient manner by remembering this point, and by moving in harmony with this point. It is also true that from this point flows a kind of power which is also, shall we say, multi-dimensional in its nature.

This is a point which is very close to that physical location which you call the navel in which each entity upon birth is connected to its mother by the umbilical cord. Though this cord be severed, as is the case with each entity within your illusion, there remains a connection that is not visibly seen and is seldom felt, but is quite powerful, for each entity. This connection is with what you may call the prana, or creative energy of the universe. It is as though this energy were funneled into the physical and metaphysical vehicle of the entity through this connection.

When an entity is aware of this centering point in both the physical and metaphysical aspects then the entity has at its command a great deal of energy that may be expended in a manner of efficiency that is in direct proportion to the entity’s discipline of the mind. The practice of the karate, as you are aware, is a practice which trains not only the physical vehicle, but the mind as well. Indeed, the physical vehicle is but a tool of the mind and has but little use without the mind to direct it. In the practice of the art of which you speak this is most apparent to those who seek to master the ways of this art.

C’s question concerned how the “chi” energy in karate, that was focused upon just below the navel, was related to the energy centers. Q’uo began their response by saying that this area just below the navel was a point of power both physically and metaphysically as it is the point at which the umbilical cord is severed, but which still has a connection to the prana or intelligent energy of the universe. Then Q’uo said that karate was a training of the mind in which the body became a powerful tool to funnel physical and metaphysical energy. On August 18, 1987, Q’uo described the nature of metaphysical energy:

This group consciousness is powerful and acts just as a search light shining in metaphysical energy which, with many other groups such as your own, forms a pattern of light sources upon your planet at this time.

Now, this energy is the energy of beingness. It is your own and no one else’s. Each consciousness source in the creation is unique. Thus, it is valid always for the seeker to be attempting through all that which it does to more and more carefully choose the path of seeking, choose the way of service, and choose the source of experience so that at the end of all experience there shall be a consciousness which is more and more full of love, more and more able to channel that great original Thought which created all, that Logos which is Love.

Is there a further query, my brother?

C: Which energy center would [inaudible], what color would [inaudible] be in that area?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The center of energy most closely aligned with this particular area is that of the yellow ray, and in many drawings of your Egyptian culture you may notice that the entity that seeks power in this world and in the mundane sense will be depicted as having a center of energy flowing out from this area. However, the entity that seeks to blend this more mundane type of power with its own spiritual learnings will begin to transform the metaphysical nature of this power into that which proceeds from the brow chakra, or that which is the indigo ray. Thus, in its simple and unadorned state the energy is of the yellow ray, however, it may be refined until it is of the indigo ray as well.

Here C repeated his question as to which energy center the “chi” energy was related to. Q’uo replied by saying that in the basic sense the concept of power was related to the yellow-ray energy center, but it could be refined until it would be seen in the indigo-ray energy center. In 93.21, Ra mentioned the same relationship between these energy centers:

Questioner: I’m at a loss to know the significance of the serpents that adorn the head of the entity on this drawing. Are they of Ra and, if so, what do they signify?

Ra: I am Ra. They are cultural in nature. In the culture to which these images were given the serpent was the symbol of wisdom. Indeed, to the general user of these images perhaps the most accurate connotation of this portion of the concept complexes might be the realization that the serpent is that which is powerful magically. In the positive sense this means that the serpent will appear at the indigo-ray site upon the body of the image figures. When a negative connotation is intended one may find the serpent at the solar plexus center.

Is there a further query, my brother?

C: [Inaudible] function well, I feel more a flush over [inaudible] much like the initial flushes that I had when I was [inaudible] a channel, it involves a [inaudible] that I [inaudible] tonight [inaudible].

I am Q’uo, and we are unsure as to whether we find a focus for query, but we shall comment, for we feel we have a grasp of your statement. The feeling of wellness, of being flushed, as you have described it, throughout your energy centers, in both the channeling, the conditioning for channeling, and in the practice of the art of karate which you now experience, are means by which you have been able to bring your energy centers into a temporary alignment and balance that allows each to express in an unified manner the energy which is unique to each.

Thus, the feeling of well-being that occurs at these times. It is at these times that you are able to move your focus of consciousness from the more linear type of activity to that which, though it may be physically active, is more of the receptive mode, taking in the pranic energy, or that which in your art is called the chi, and moving that energy in a balanced fashion in order to accomplish a certain set of goals, whether these goals are simply to feel the energy in its movement and radiation to move the physical vehicle in a certain prescribed series of patterns or to serve as an instrument for contact such as of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator.

Is there a further query, my brother?

C: [Inaudible] for the first time in a long time I really felt intense conditioning. I know [inaudible] try to, I find that what I need to do [inaudible] choosing not to channel, but the conditioning tonight was very intense. I felt, [inaudible]?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We must apologize for being overly enthusiastic in our greeting of you, my brother, for we were wishing only to aid in the deepening of your meditative state. There is also the consideration which we had hoped that we had accounted for, and that is that there were two instruments in proximity to you which you were able to feel the conditioning as a result of the closeness to these instruments and the sensitivity of your own instrument. Thus, there was the doubling effect of the intensity of the conditioning which you felt. We do apologize if there was any discomfort. This was not our intention.

Is there a further query, my brother?

C: No, thank you.

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

Carla: Thank you, Q’uo.

I am Q’uo, and we thank each most heartily for we have enjoyed this evening once again…

[Tape ends.]

Today is the 43^rd anniversary of the beginning of the Ra contact. Trish asked me to share my memory of that day so it could be posted on Facebook and other of our social media. I would like to share it with my readers as well:

The 43^rd Anniversary of the Ra Contact

I moved in with Don and Carla on December 23, 1980, and we were getting ready to do a re-write of Secrets of The UFO, which they had published in 1977. So for the first couple of weeks I was doing research on UFO contacts and getting into the regular routine of joining them for their Sunday night channeling meditations and cooking meals for us. Then, about three weeks later, on January 15, 1981–43 years ago today–the Ra contact began.

I have always felt that the fact that the Ra contact began on the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. was the perfect day for it to begin as it symbolized the basic tenet of the Ra contact which said that the one infinite Creator was in all beings equally. And what that means is that all beings of any race, creed, or color could help the Creator to know Itself as they were traveling their spiritual paths as conscious seekers of truth.

I was out shopping for groceries when Carla was first contacted by those of Ra as she and Don were teaching one of our Sunday night meditation members the art of channeling. When I came in the door to our living room, where we held all of our channeling sessions, I had no idea who Carla was channeling. I walked down the hall and put the groceries away in the kitchen. When the channeling session was over Don was really excited—which was very unusual for him because he was always so cool, calm and collected—and he told me that this was the contact he had been waiting 19 years for, since he had begun his first channeling experiment in 1962. He asked me if I could transcribe the session as soon as possible. I asked him if he really meant right now as I had some other things to do and would have preferred to get to them if possible. But he was eager and insistent for me to get started.

While I was doing the transcription in the office, he was just outside the door pacing back and forth waiting for each page to come out of the electric typewriter. The further I got into the transcription the more I could see what he was talking about as I had never heard such inspiring concepts expressed in such a precise fashion.

The second session with Ra was also held in the living room, but from that point on we dedicated the room next to Don’s bedroom to the Ra contact. Each succeeding session seemed to be more powerful and inspiring than the one before it, and for the rest of the year we completed 75 sessions and could hardly believe our great good fortune to be speaking with those of Ra about the various facets of the jewel of the One Great Original Thought of Love.

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

January 15

The Perception Of Manyness

I am the spirit of Jesus Christ, the principle of the full consciousness of love in the vibration which comforts this instrument.

In your minds you know that all things come from one source and go to one source. And yet in your hearts you who peer into the gloom of the shadows of the world’s day perceive often that many things come not from one source but from many, and likewise that the fruits of action are scattered to the twelve directions, not moving once again into unity but shattering again and again into the chaos of unintended effect.

Yet we say to you that one of the great and overriding benefits of consciousness with which the consciousness of love has been intermingled is a realization of the incorrectness of the perception of manyness, either of the source or of the final disposition of the energies which move within your notice and awareness.

Seek first to know the consciousness of love when you wish, secondly, to know the nature of those things which occur to you which are played out in front of you and which depart from you. Only in that transformed consciousness shall your eyes see truly and your heart resound with the unity of love.

Peace be with you, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, 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 5, 1990:

The question this evening has to do with what Jesus meant when he was quoted as saying, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes unto the Father lest he comes by Me.” We need to try to balance that with the fact that when people pursue any particular spiritual path that person will construct for him or herself a unique path that may or may not—does it?—partake of this position or concept of which Jesus spoke, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes unto the Father lest he comes by Me.”

(Carla channeling)

Greetings to you in the love and in the light of the one Creator. I am Q’uo, and it is indeed a privilege to share your meditation at this time. We bless you for your generosity, and your desire to know the truth. To listen to our humble opinions is indeed kind of you, and we are most grateful and honored to be asked to come among you at this time. As always, please remember that those things which we offer to you are our thoughts, not an infallible truth, but the truth that we have been able to call our own, at the place where we are now in our own learning.

The question you ask this evening needs answers in two different ways. We shall move to the first way as the lesser of the two understandings that may aid in diffusing the tremendous damage the phrase, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me”, has caused. This instrument is not familiar with the day-to-day living, the means of worship, and the sociological description of the times of the teacher known as Jesus. Suffice it to say that as now, then also, the more learned was the teacher, the more complex and sophistic his rationalizations might be. The teacher known as Jesus wished a return to simplicity, and a turn to the realization of the unity of all things, a calling to all of the children of the Creator.

This entity did not agree, nor accept, the pluralistic ways, the negatively oriented hints which characterized the theology and the teachings of the teachers of his own religion, which was Judaism. The entity never asked to be elite; he asked only to be a servant, and he related to others as teacher and servant, not being authoritative, except by the authority that was heard and could not be ignored within this entity’s tone of voice, mode of expression, and knowledge of those prophetic writings, holy works and sophistic, argumentative commentary which at his time pervaded his religion.

As is almost always the case, it was through intense examination of his own religion, through active, day-by-day immersion in the belief systems of that religion, with all of its faults, its idiosyncrasies, and all of those things which he considered to be wrong, that he became aware that he had been born in order to express a channeling, in order to learn how to be of service in the deepest way open to him personally. He was given insight and vision through his contact with his Father. This humble servant called himself the son of man, not the son of God. He repeatedly said, “When you hear me, you hear not me, but the Father within.” He said this many, many more times than is repeated in your holy works. He said this every time he spoke, just as we say to you we are your servants, we are your teachers, any truth which comes, comes through us, and through this instrument. We are not wise, we are students of the great mystery. So too, was the teacher known as Jesus.

The name of the Creator, within his religion, bore a great deal of resemblance to the word we use so often, that is, consciousness. The Creator’s name, never spoken aloud, simply meant, “I AM I AM,” or, “I AM because I AM,” or, “I AM that I AM.” I AM. This is the Old Testament Creator. This is a concept of great promise, great authority, full of nuances and mystery, and there was indeed a large body of Jewish mystics, which line exists to this very day. As a mystic, Jesus attempted to express the nature of redemption as being a surety of consciousness, a bonding with that Creator which could withstand the threat of death, for eternity was more important to the teacher known as Jesus than this little life, but he knew what it took to embrace eternity, and as teachers do, he attempted to use that which he had, the name of the one infinite Creator most familiar to those whom he was teaching. I AM, I AM. I AM the Way. Identification with the Creator, the Way. I AM, the Creator, the Truth. I AM, the Creator, the Life. Stand up and be counted, for until you know I AM, you shall not come to I AM. Faith comes first. To think that this teacher meant that it considered itself a human doorway is a potentially wholly destructive distortion of that which was meant by the teacher known as Jesus.

You will note that we do not deny that Jesus was the Son of the Infinite One. We do not deny Jesus the Christ. We meet the challenge that this instrument offers. To her, Jesus is Lord, and by Jesus she means that which cannot be spoken, that is beyond our words, but that is the one infinite Creator. Let us call it love. Let us say love is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by love. This is a New Testament change, which would have been acceptable to the one known as Jesus, for to Jesus his experience of his beloved Father was love given and love received. Difficult things were asked of this man, but this man was a channel with great determination and greater faith. He was speaking to entities who were very simple people. He spoke to them in words that left nuances, aromas, questions to ponder, but simple ones. Those of his own time knew the name that could not be spoken. Jesus [inaudible] spoke half of it.

The group question this session concerned what Jesus meant when He said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes unto the Father lest he comes by Me” And when a seeker constructs a unique spiritual path does it partake of “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes unto the Father lest he comes by Me”? Q’uo said that there were two parts to their answer to this question, and the first part dealt with the damage that this saying has caused to the seeking of truth by Jesus’s native religion of Judaism, with the complex levels of teachings that hinted of negativity and elitism within it. Q’uo said that Jesus desired to simplify the teachings and be a servant rather than an authority as He had carefully examined Judaism and felt that He had come to correct all that was wrong within this religion by channeling His contact with His Father that manifested as “When you hear me, you hear not me, but the Father within.” Then Q’uo said that the name of the Creator in Judaism was I AM, the Old Testament Creator, and Jesus felt that redemption meant a bonding with the Creator, and it did not mean that He was a human doorway to God exemplified by the concept of “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes unto the Father lest he comes by Me.” It would be more correct in Jesus’s way of thinking that to say that “No one comes to the Father but by love.” Q’uo said that this is a New Testament change, which would have been acceptable to Jesus because he experienced the Father as love. In 17.22, Ra said the same thing:

Questioner: In our culture there is a great saying that he will return. Can you tell me if this is planned?

Ra: I am Ra. I will attempt to sort out this question. It is difficult. This entity became aware that it was not an entity of itself but operated as a messenger of the One Creator whom this entity saw as Love. This entity was aware that this cycle was in its last portion and spoke to the effect that those of its consciousness would return at the harvest.

The particular mind/body/spirit complex you call Jesus is, as what you would call an entity, not to return except as a member of the Confederation occasionally speaking through a channel. However, there are others of the identical congruency of consciousness that will welcome those to the fourth density. This is the meaning of the returning.

That is the first way of understanding this phrase. It was a simple teaching. It was the preaching of faith, which leads us to the second portion of the meaning of these words, and why they are not the only words that lead to eternity, but merely words which show the intensity, the devotion, the worship, the surrender; the love, and the desire to serve the Creator by serving each other.

All paths of service, if they be positive, full of love and light, harmless to all, are helpful to those who are comfortable with that particular story or way of bridging the gap between present and infinite. This entity indicated the intensity necessary for a life in faith successfully to move from the mundane world into an arching bridge connected with eternity. Those who call themselves Christians, and go to church once a week, are as little likely to be able to graduate into the next density as those who have no path at all, but simply are looking, and testing and trying, and thinking, and mulling, and refusing to make a commitment that leads to surrender of the smaller self, in order to make room in the earthen vessel that is your body for the expansive and loving self that you truly are, the self that is Christed.

That which is called religion works as a tool to polarize, purify, and discipline the seeker, not only one day a week, but every day. Better is the path which is alive in faith and service and worship that has been created by the entity itself, but that includes the forgiveness of self, the forgiveness of all others, an adoration and worship of the Creator, and a surrender to the Creator-self within, the self that is you but is a deeper and unknown part of you, to your conscious mind.

How do you get from your conscious mind to this extremely deep realization that allows a safe and peaceful surrender of the self, a trusting surrender, a safe surrender? It is the faith that comes from persistent, daily attempts at meditation, no judgment of the meditations, no taking the spiritual temperature, but looking always for ways to see the Creator, for ways to recognize the hunger and the thirst for that which the Creator can give only to those who have surrendered to their Higher Selves.

Any path, be it orthodox or personal, must consist of several things. A complete and unutterable faith that the Creator loves you, that the Creator made you because He loved you, and that it is only appropriate that you love this Creator in return. It is necessary that you deal in some way successfully with the understanding of your own eternal redemption. How could such imperfect entities as we be eternally forgiven and eternally given another chance, over and over and over, so that we would never lose courage, but simply pick ourselves up and try again? There is a requirement that we stand so four square, so honestly, earnestly, eagerly and completely in the light of this love and belief, this faith, that we realize it is our identity, something that we cannot possibly deny, that we would refuse to deny upon pain, even of death, for we have found out who we are, and we will not deny that.

This attitude, once digested, shall we say, makes us realize the enormous preciousness of each moment that we are conscious in this milieu which you call third density. Here, and only here, can you demonstrate your faith, for you have forgotten and do not see the reality of your light being, the illusion of your mundane self, and the great beauty that you may make of a life in faith, a beautiful gift, a substantial, marvelous gift, a rich and honeyed gift, for the Infinite One.

We speak to a group of cultural Christians. Each of you knows it is not necessary to find the Creator in one place or another. The Creator did not need houses built for it, for the house of the Creator is your heart, that room into which you may go and shut the door behind you. The most personal and intimate part of yourself is the part that has faith. If you do not have faith, you do not have a way, you do not know a truth, and you do not know how to live your life. Nor do you know why you are living, nor can you rejoice at the moment of your death, whether it be natural or placed upon you because of your beliefs, so that you are a martyr. Most unusual happening—seldom will anyone have to die for what he or she believes—but that concept must be seated deeply within yourself, because it is part of knowing for sure, in no uncertain terms, who you are metaphysically.

We accept a kind of vibration, which you may call Christ consciousness, or any other name which you may wish to use, as a description of one who is committed, and (our) hope when speaking to those of third density, is largely to help people remember who they are, that they are as tall, and as deep as eternity itself, that they have being, that they are and that they will be, but that this is the moment—and in cosmic time, 75,000 years is a moment—of decision. It is a decision that must be made without reservation or evasion. You cannot say, “I know I am supposed to believe in something, so I choose this path, and I will believe it.” Rather, you must become what you believe, insofar as you are capable of it. You must begin to realize that the life you channel is a life of love.

You yourself upon the surface of life are in tempest after tempest, and your small boat often loses its rudder, but in faith that frail barque will ever be afloat, and ever be moving toward the destination of paradise, for you who live a life of faith, you who grasp the need to become committed to a daily recognition of the Creator, will find yourself in a well-watered and most beautiful place upon release from the clumsy, chemical shell which you now use to carry your spirit. If you do not know, if you do not live as a light being, or, and this is in the end the same thing, attempt each day, give time each day to the attempt to became aware of being a light being, then you will feel uncomfortable with the need of the metaphysical world to be absolutely who you are.

The paradise of which we speak is that portion set aside after an incarnation in which each soul is healed, each pain eased, each tear wiped away. It is not necessary to be successful, happy, wealthy, or any other of the values so shallow in your culture. It is necessary to seek, to ask, to turn, to forgive. How difficult to trust in the Creator, and how much easier to trust in that Creator when you are aware of who you really are, and that things which may seem unkind that happen within your life experience are those offered in true kindness that one may learn more and more to be authentic, real, healed of all lack of self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others, so that all is forgiven, all is accepted, and there is no thing which can separate you from your faith, no tragedy, no horror that can remove from you the knowledge of who you are, an absolute and explicit part of the Creator, a being of love.

We do not hesitate to answer this entity’s challenge that Jesus is Lord. This instrument has invested a great deal of passion and intensity in coming to know, to feel, to think, to act with an awareness of how the teacher known as Jesus might so react. The entity is active in faith. Each of you may be active in faith, but it cannot be done once a week, or when one needs comfort. It needs to become a part of each of you, to ponder, to revel, to rejoice and to allow your own absolute nature to be made known to yourself. You are an imperishable light being. You have chosen to be of service to the Creator by attempting to love those about you as if they were yourself. Are you a channel yet in your life, a way, a living truth, a silent witness, an example of life that reaches beyond the physical, the dropping of dust, and the disappearance from this illusion? One decision to move along the path of service is good, but you must keep making this decision, for your life experience was designed to allow you honest doubt, clear evidence that the Creator is not kind.

It is not easy to life a life in faith. Indeed, the more intense one’s faith becomes, the more central and important, the more it is tested in the fire of experience, for faith is not rigid, it is flexible, adaptable, accepting. It allows people their own paths. It allows people not to find a way to eternity. It allows people to be where they are without regrets for them, because of the sure knowledge that one day they will awaken to their true self, to the I AM, and they will turn to seek the Way, and the Truth, and the Life that is yours in eternity.

Nor need you wait for this experience, for eternity lies in each present moment, and as your path of service moves onward, we pray you the grace, the alertness, and the ability to flow and adapt that will bring you to your own I AM, your own surrender, and your own experience of yourself as an absolute and ideal being, the greatest blockage to this way of thinking, being and manifesting, of the lack of self-forgiveness, the low opinion of oneself, a tendency to characterize the self as unworthy.

How long shall we accept the appearances of an illusion? Work as you will with those things which keep you from your awareness of who you are. Do not be discouraged if the rest of your life is taken up in the first step, self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others. You have all the time in the world to become your own I AM. Courage, my children.

The second part of Q’uo’s answer to the question of how the statement “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes unto the Father lest he comes by Me” fits within each seeker’s unique spiritual path. The first part of Q’uo’s answer dealt with the general statement being the Old Testament version of a strict God requiring many rituals to perform to be a member of Judaism. Now Q’uo focuses on the individual seeker of truth and how they can follow the path of Love that Jesus followed which was exemplified by His statement “No one comes to the Father but by love” which bridges the gap between the present moment and eternity for the seeker.  Then Q’uo said that the seeker must live this statement each day of the week and use meditation to surrender itself to seeing the Creator in all people and realizing that “A complete and unutterable faith that the Creator loves you, that the Creator made you because He loved you, and that it is only appropriate that you love this Creator in return. It is necessary that you deal in some way successfully with the understanding of your own eternal redemption.” Q’uo said it is here in the third density that we can demonstrate faith in these concepts because we have the veil of forgetting that keeps us from seeing them. They said that we need to realize that we are all channels for love that will meet many challenges and difficulties where we will need to have faith and continue to serve the Creator in all by forgiving ourselves and others for our seeming failures. On September 30, 1990, Q’uo shared the path of forgiving ourselves and others:

At the end, however, of each day, as you have been paying attention, without judgment, to those things which move you, especially to those things which have made you uncomfortable and might be a stumbling block in your ability to deal as you wish with others, we suggest, at the end of each day, the consideration, either intellectual, for those who have strong analytical powers, or by feeling them again, for those of you who depend mostly upon your hearts for decisions. As those are by far the majority among those who seek spiritually, we will simply say that which this instrument is already aware of from the Law of One material, that is, that the emotion which was deemed inappropriately off center and negative by the pilgrim be allowed to exist again, to be affirmed by you as being completely acceptable. Let it, in fact, become as sharp and dramatic as it will be, allowing the energy within that to express itself. As you are forgiving yourself, then, as you sit in meditation, allowing this feeling to wash over you, gradually notice that that feeling is receding as a wave, and in its place comes its opposite, the other side of its coin, the antithesis or its thesis.

So, if you have experienced anger, and intensified it, and forgiven yourself for that feeling, you spontaneously begin to feel forgiveness, and caring. Prayers may be said for the one who has acted in a way you would describe as hateful, and all is forgiven, the other self, your self, and the transaction between the two of you.

You have often called these times failures, and berated yourself because of them. But do you not see that you must make the mistakes, you must err, and be bold about it, be yourself, in order to learn who you are, to find where those soft and sensitive areas are that cause you to move away from your center? You must go through the process of knowing yourself, truly, truly knowing yourself, for in your life lies the universe, the creation and the Creator, in a part of you so deep that it is not within this illusion for you to penetrate that portion of your informational store with any ease whatsoever. The veil hides it completely, and that is why meditation is so helpful, as it makes that veil between conscious and subconscious more and more semi-permeable.

This morning I made an errand run to Kroger’s to pick up some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s to pick up some non-food items and more patches that I can use to repair tears in my bedspread that Bosco makes from time to time.

This afternoon I went upstairs and did my weekly cleaning of the hall carpet with the carpet sweeper. Then I used the broom and dust pan to clean up the kitty litter in Benny’s room. My last job was to use the dust mop in all three rooms and the hall.

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

January 14

Sleep’s Communion With Spirit

I am of the principle of divine love. I greet you in the full consciousness of that love which is the love of Jesus the Christ. Once more the day’s star shines and the activities of a busy round begin. And each soul, vertical, dressed, equipped for the day, moves into the rhythms of that vertical activity which is called living the life.

May we suggest that it is most helpful to realize that that which has been yours during your sleep, during your period of horizontal relaxation, is most valuable. For upon your bed you do not strive. You do not struggle. You do not mourn or praise. But as one who dives into deep water, you are covered with the blessings which sleep brings. For sleep opens the door to the spirit’s communion with that spirit which we are.

Allow the vertical part of your life to carry the horizontal member which lies within the heart and mind. Allow the consciousness of peace and comfort to interpenetrate each activity. For those peaceful lessons learned upon the nightly bed may so inform the day that your life finds more and more value in its happenings.

You see, your life is only yours insofar as you perceive it, and it is your powers of perception that are clarified and strengthened by obtaining the peaceful spaciousness of water whilst bounding actively upon the currents of the air.

Might this combination of action and rest offer you enhanced realization of peace, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, 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 2, 1990:

(K channeling)

We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, whom we serve together with you.

It is, as always, our great privilege to work with you and to share with this group a new seeking. When you are seeking together, you are most congruent, though it may not always seem so to you in your illusion as individuals, and we take great joy in being able to share with this congruency of seeking.

We thank you for your dedication as individuals and as a group to the spiritual work to which you have dedicated your lives. It is a great service that you perform. But again, you are not aware of what you do and when what you do may be of help to others. We thank you for the service you perform both in aiding those about you in the third density and in offering to us the opportunity to be of service also, for it is rare that we may find such a group as this through whom we may speak as directly as we are able to in the vocal channel.

This instrument desires to know when it is being of service and we are aware that each of you has also had this desire or questions. We reiterate to you that what is of importance upon a metaphysical level is the desire to be of service, and the purity of the intent in the offering of the self and the dedication of the self to the work and to the purification of the self for the work.

The services you perform are many and yet they are one. They are many in that they manifest through a variety of activities which you perform throughout your days and these activities may seem to be largely different, one from the other. Your service may vary with a smile given to a stranger you pass on the street, to a look of love exchanged with one who is close, to the more obvious form of teaching and the vocal challenge which exists.

All these seemingly various services you perform are but one and that is the radiation of the love of the Creator, which pervades you and your illusion, have you but the ability to perceive. This is your service; to aid in the perception of the love of the Creator in yourself and in those about you. Is it not simple, my friends? Why then do you spend time worrying over whether you have been able to be of service?

When a being is full of the love of the Creator, and as you radiate and manifest the essence of that being, those who come in contact with you, whether knowingly or unknowingly, will see that which you have to offer. That is who you are—that is the Creator, who is love.

Now, there is much confusion in this illusion about the concept of love. We are aware of the differences in the expression of the concept in your various languages and of the various types of love expressed as different concepts.

When we speak of the love of the Creator, the metaphor perhaps most analogous which we may use to attempt to explain to you the metaphysical nature of love is that of the radiance of your sun. The sun does not necessarily do anything. The sun is. It radiates the essences of its being. It radiates heat and light and gives life by its radiance. This is the nature of the Creator’s love—giving, simply and freely as part of the nature of its being.

This is the love that you may also radiate to those about you. The nature of your being does not necessarily do, it just is. It radiates this love. So, all you have to do, my friends, in order to be of service is not to rush about finding various services to perform, but merely to look to the heart of yourselves to perceive that which your true nature is; to allow that perception and realization to so pervade you that your awareness of it becomes also clear to those about you.

This is why we speak of the importance of knowing yourself. The true nature of the self is known. A certain transparency of the self is achieved; the penetration of the walls of third density illusion which surround you in the form of the bodies and the various societal conceptions and misconceptions of the nature of the individual and the illusion. When the true nature of the self radiates through the self that has become transparent, penetrating through the illusion, it shines out as a beacon into the thick darkness of the illusion that covers your planet.

We are aware of many groups such as yours that are attempting to do this work on an individual and on a group level. And it is this dedication on an individual and a group basis that is lightening the consciousness of your planet.

There are those that say that the small lights surely will not make any difference in the vast darkness. We know great beacons of light in the history of your illusion—the teaching of the one known as Jesus and other masters of the various religions and spiritual paths.

The individual may become discouraged in comparing oneself to ones such as these, feeling oneself to have but a small light to offer. We say to you that no light is so small it makes no difference. No matter the size of the light, it still shines and as you band together in your efforts, the effects of the light that you project are multiplied.

We will at this time transfer to the one known as Jim, thanking this sister for the willingness to receive our contact. We are known to you as those of Q’uo.

This was an Intermediate session in which K was practicing the art of channeling which she had recently begun to learn. The message that Q’uo shared through K was in answer to her desire to know when she was being of service to others. Q’uo began their answer by saying that the most important feature of service is the desire to be of service. Then they said that there are many ways to be of service but that all services are one in that they are the radiation of the love of the Creator. Q’uo described the love of the Creator as like the radiation of the light of the sun that shines upon all. Then Q’uo said that in order for this light to shine through us we need to know the true nature of ourselves so that we can become transparent as a beacon of light that penetrates the darkness of the third-density illusion and shares the Creator’s love with all. On February 20, 2000, Q’uo shared how we all can become beacons of light:

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

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and reach you again in the love and light through this instrument. We are very pleased with the progress that was made this evening by the one known as K. We are aware of the difficulty with which the contact was initiated but we felt that it was worth the effort to remain with this instrument and to give encouragement that it was indeed ready to make the initial contact.

At this time we would offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any queries which remain. May we begin with a query at this time?

Carla: I know that everything you’ve said about life being worthwhile no matter what is true, but how can you tell that to yourself when you’re feeling really down?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Indeed this is a question that few entities have the opportunity to ask upon a prolonged basis such as you have had, my sister.

The very asking of the question is an event within the consciousness of the entity that asks it. That offers to the self the opportunity for the gradual transformation of the point of view. The feeling of great pain and discomfort which limits one’s potential or activity are qualities which cause the attention to be focused in a manner unlike most experiences which you will have in your lifetime.

The intensive effort necessary to maintain the consciousness and the attitude and the desire to continue is an effort which, along with the asking of the question, causes a kind of tempering of the will while at the same time providing the will a further testing that will in the mundane sense seem to be discouraging, for as the will is tested and stretched to the limits for that entity in its exercise, it will seem to the entity that there is little that is left for the generation of further desire.

This is a most intensive testing. It is one which you have set before yourself as a means by which you shall further purify your desires regarding service to others and in a personal sense, regarding your acceptance of yourself for your ability to endure. The product of such a test is ultimately quite simple in that the entity has persevered long enough to give itself the opportunity to do so once again.

There seems to be no end to this kind of work upon the self. For the pain-filled situation tends to gather a kind of momentum and has the overall effect on the physical vehicle of wearing it down so that its energy reserves are low. This is the work of those few who wish to so purify their own vehicles that the sense of self and the security of the self are seen as those things which are fleeting, and the tension then is driven further inward in order that the focus might continue to seek the truer heart of that which sustains all that is.

This in its purest sense, or essence, is that indefinable quality which we frequently call love. Because of your love for the Creator and the son of the Creator whom you revere as your savior, the one known as Jesus, the Christ, you continue day by day, moment by moment to make the choice to serve in ways that are unknown to you, ways that are provided simply by your existence, moment to moment, you choose, moment by moment to continue and to continue and to continue, though there is little in the way of good reasons that the intellect may provide, that analysis may uncover. Yet there is that unquenchable thirst for the waters of love and by seeking the cup of such you radiate that which is not apparent to your eyes, but on the physical plane is obviously quite apparent as a desire which has been tested, tempered and found to be true.

Carla said that she believed that life was worthwhile, but she wanted to know how she could tell herself that when she really felt down. Q’uo said that the asking of the question was the beginning of a process of transformation that comes about when Carla was feeling a great deal of physical pain because this tempers and tests her will and stretches her ability to continue to be of service to others. Q’uo suggested that she had chosen this type of experience as an intensive way that few others have done in order to learn how to accept herself and endure the pain of continuing to be of service to others. Then Q’uo said that her sense of self was a fleeting one whereas her true self was one of love for the Creator and for Jesus that gave her the opportunity to be of service simply in her very being, moment by moment. Q’uo concluded their reply by saying that her desire to serve had been tested and found to be true beyond any intellectual analysis. On October 31, 1976, Hatonn described our true self and how it enhances our service to others:

First, each of you who is in this plane of existence has one purpose which is of a primary nature. That purpose is to become aware of your true self and in so doing you begin to vibrate in harmony with that true self; that is, to vibrate within the harmonies of love. This one vibratory Thought created all that there is and as you come into harmony with this Thought you become a beacon of light that lights all those about you. This is your primary service. Whatever else there is for you to do it is best served by you becoming more and more able to be who you truly are. Being is always more important than doing, for one acts from the heart, for one acts very [inaudible].

As to the second part of the answer, each has missions which are to be accomplished. It is not necessary to understand on a conscious level what these missions are. Moreover, these missions need not be grand in any way. For it impossible for you to judge within the illusion the importance of what you do. The one who is known to you as the master Jesus was a carpenter, and yet his mission was great. It has also been said in your holy works that, “The last shall be first,” and this is far truer than you can comprehend on the physical level.

In all humility, my brothers and sisters, do that which is in front of you to do and love. For this is your first mission. If you continue in your seeking and meditation you will be guided.

We would say to you, each at this time, your higher self and those whom you call angels can help you as well as we of the Confederation. It is only necessary to meditate. And these suggestions and feelings and understandings will come to you very simply.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: No.

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

Carla: Do you have any suggestions for me to teach channeling in a better way or improving my technique?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We are very pleased with the openness with which this group approaches the learning and teaching of vocal channeling. There is the perception on the part of each instrument that a variety of techniques is most helpful in this process so that the training of new instruments might always contain some element of that which is familiar to serve as assurance for the new instrument and some element of that which is unfamiliar or new in order that there might be the opportunity at each working for the new instrument and indeed for each instrument to expand the abilities in this area.

Thus, we would not offer at this time any specific suggestion for the improving of this process for we are well pleased that the process is one which is firmly underway and we really are exceedingly happy with the progress that has been shown by each instrument and especially by the new instrument.

Is there a further query, my sister?

[No further questions.]

I am Q’uo, and again we thank you, my sister. Again, is there a further query at this time?

[No further questions.]

I am Q’uo, we thank again each entity for taking part in this process this evening and for generating a desire to come together for a working which removes the consciousness for a short time from those areas of the mundane activity in which you find yourselves ever more dutifully and intensively immersed. As your world about you tends to move you as though you were a pawn, it is a joyful sight for us to observe that there are those such as yourselves that are willing to move themselves from the dizzying round of activities to find a quiet place within that there might be the opportunity for the settling of much catalyst; the processing of it into experience; the giving of thanks to the one Creator and the generation of the desire to serve that one Creator in whatever manner is appropriate.

It is easy in your illusion to lose yourself in detail for much requires the attention within your illusion in order to accomplish what you call your daily round of activities and within such detail focusing of the consciousness it is easy to forget that there is a wholeness, a rhythm, and a pattern to the life which gives it stability and to which one may retreat in silence and in solitude in order to enjoy the nourishment there.

Again we thank you for inviting our presence again this evening. We look forward, as you say, to these gatherings and we are eager to join you each time that we are called.

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

This morning I took a walk around the yard to pick up a few small tree limbs which fell during yesterday’s wind storm. Since we had a wind storm two days ago I think there were fewer limbs to pick up today because that storm brought down the limbs that were ready to come down.

This afternoon I ironed on another small patch to my bed spread where my cat, Bosco, has clawed a tear in the bedspread. Then I sewed it on and sewed around three other patches as they will come off in the laundry if they aren’t sewn on. Then I sewed around a couple of large patches at the bottom corner of the bed which had come loose as that is where Bosco jumps and claws his way onto the bed.

Prepare A Way For Light

We are of the principle of divine love and we greet you in the love of Jesus the Christ. My children, it may seem to you that the road ahead this day contains within it a situation which calls upon the very greatest that is within you. For there is within your life a personal situation which seems resistant to prayer and outside the realm of the Holy Spirit.

Yet we say to you in the name of love that it is you who may make the difference this day for that person, for that situation. For when you behold a person in conflict and despair and lost from the light and the peace of God, you behold someone who has within the mind the picture that is jarring and painted in such a way as to disturb.

Let the spirit fill your mind with a positive and beautiful picture for that person and for that situation. It is not a difficult thing to do, for it is not done within yourself but by calling upon the spirit of love to illuminate and lighten the darkness of confusion and human concern.

It is said, “Let your light shine.” Know you that it is necessary only to prepare a way for the light of the perfect love of Jesus the Christ to shine through you and all situations, all entities, may be bathed in that love as you pray to be a channel for love this day.

We leave you in the utter peace of the love of Jesus the Christ, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Mediation 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 July 22, 1990:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light through this instrument. May we ask at this time if there is a query to which we may respond.

Questioner: If I could, the last time we spoke you used the phrase [inaudible] concept language [inaudible]. Could you elaborate on the components of this language?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. We shall speak to the best of our ability through this instrument. This instrument has not the depth of meditation necessary to bring forth concepts with which it is not familiar. However, we feel that we may make a beginning upon this topic. The non-local nature of this language refers to a philosophical description that attempts to describe a situation in its most fundamental components. This has to do primarily with the articulation of the qualities of love and light as they are acted upon by free will. The free will being that consciousness which has evolved to a certain level of understanding or breadth of perception according to its own experiences and its efficacy in blending its vibrations with the creation about it so that it discovers the nature of the events, entities, ideas and interactions by becoming these events, ideas, entities and interactions.

This type of language is that which expresses itself by what you may call a kind of concept communication. Quite literally in your terms it is the equivalent of walking in another entity’s shoes so that one approaches complete efficiency in the communication.

The type of language that Questioner is talking about is inaudible, but I will share Q’uo’s response to the question, and perhaps that will reveal the nature of this language. Q’uo began their reply by saying that the language Questioner was speaking about was “nonlocal”, “philosophical”, and dealt with a situation in its “most fundamental components” such as love and light and how they are acted upon by one’s free will. Then Q’uo said that when a person had developed its free will to a certain degree that it was possible to blend its consciousness with the creation and entities around it in a fashion that it became them. I think that telepathic communication may be the language that Questioner was asking about. On December 28, 2019, Q’uo described the method whereby telepathic communication might be attempted:

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, as you have observed, the ease with which telepathy is available to some people—those who are conscious seekers of truth—is an indication that at this time it is possible for those who are aware of how they are advancing their own evolutionary progress, may begin to notice the thinning, shall we say, of the veil of forgetting for them, and for others like them, who seek with the same purity and intensity. Thus, the quality that is most helpful in being able to transmit and receive thoughts from another being is that this activity be accomplished with another entity that shares your sincerity and depth of devotion to seeking the spiritual evolution of mind, body, and spirit.

Thus, in such a tandem effort, there is the possibility of using the meditative state to transmit thoughts to the other entity who is aware that such thoughts are being attempted as communication. The other entity does not have to be in close proximity to you, but needs to be aware that you are attempting to send this entity your images and concepts so that there may be a receptivity on the part of the other entity that is developed by this knowledge.

The meditative state aids in such production and reception of telepathic concepts as it is able to take you deeper and deeper into your conscious mind, and even into your subconscious mind where such communication is more, shall we say, common and possible in regards or in the relation to the higher levels of the conscious mind, which is the busy mind, the monkey mind, as it is called.

If you can quiet this mind, this conscious mind, or busy mind, within the meditative state, then you may begin to experience greater and greater feelings of expansiveness so that your being begins to move outward in what you would call the time/space, or spiritual realms, and begins to encompass the other entity, or entities with whom you wish to communicate. If you can visualize this expansion of your being, being able to encompass the other entity and then transmit your thoughts in this state of being, there is a greater likelihood of the reception by the one to whom they are sent.

May we speak further upon this query, my brother?

Questioner: No, thank you very much. On another topic, could you comment on the nature and seriousness of divorce as you have already spoken of marriage.

I am Q’uo, and aware of your query, my brother. The mated relationship is one which provides the greatest amount of efficiency to those entering into the relationship and the learning of the lessons which are those chosen before the incarnation by each entity. The efficiency is achieved in a direct proportion to the intensity of the relationship, the vividness of the relationship. This intensity is enhanced by the familiarity between the two entities. As the entities become more and more aware of and informed by each other and the dynamics that grow between two entities as they share the life experience, this familiarity then describes in clearer relief the nature of the lessons that are being worked upon by the entities.

When there is a difficulty in perceiving the depth or breadth or ramifications of any lesson or set of lessons then there is the disharmony, the friction of the parts which do not fit, shall we say, into those places in the life experience that each entity has made for them. If the difficulty in fitting these pieces or portions of the life experience together persists and is not reconciled or given a place in each entity’s life pattern into which it may comfortably fit then this disharmony we have found within your culture frequently results in that which you call the divorcing of the entities. That is, the removing of each entity from the relationship in order that there may be a cessation of the friction, a removing of the frustration that results from the inability to find a place for the lesson that was being attempted within each life pattern.

The seriousness, as you described it, is only that of the efficiency of the relationship and the efficiency of learning and being able to be of service as a result of utilizing that which is learned in the life pattern. The entities will find that the lesson which was being attempted shall repeat itself in whatever future relationship is attempted even if no further relationship is attempted. However, in the solitary situation the efficiency is greatly reduced for there is the lack of the mirroring effect, that which intensifies and in most cases clarifies the lesson at hand. In the beginning again with a new relationship there is the need of retracing steps that have previously been accomplished with the former partner. This, of course, in your terms takes time and there is much of the repeating these steps which means in most cases that the efficiency of the learning has been greatly reduced. However, there is always the opportunity for the realigning of the dedication and determination so that there may again be the resumption of the pattern of lessons and services and once again there may be the finding of the mirroring effect so that this process might continue the pace.

Now Questioner wanted to know the nature and seriousness of a marriage resulting in divorce. Q’uo responded by saying that the marriage relationship was the most powerful way that two entities could pursue their pre-incarnative plans for spiritual evolution. They went on to say that as difficulties developed in the relationship the harmonizing of the difficulties was the way the lessons were learned. If the difficulties were not able to be harmonized and the decision to divorce was made, then the lessons that had not been learned would be repeated in any future relationship. On November 16, 1986, Q’uo gave a beautiful overview of the various aspects of divorce:

When a lesson is declined by moving out of a situation, the same lesson shall be presented to the student again. The lesson, however, will be made clearer so that there is less chance of a misunderstanding. Translated into the perceptive bias of your illusion, that means the lesson will be more painful and will take longer to work out. Catalyst will be more extensive for the same experience. The one who walks away from a mated situation is buying time but not changing the catalyst that he or she is bound to have one way or another.

To those who have divorced or been divorced, who have left commitments or have been left, we would say that there is no, what this instrument calls, “sin,” and what we would call error or mistake, in moving from a situation. It certainly buys, shall we say, trouble, yet with the wisdom of survival you have chosen to heal so that you may throw yourself once more into your catalyst with a new zeal.

If you have been left, and you have found yourself acting in negative ways, ways demeaning to your mate or to yourself, we urge you to take hold of your will and your powers of love, for if you have not been tested again, you shall be. You will feel betrayal and rejection somewhere and somehow. Next time, my children, offer your love back to the situation.

To those of you who must leave or have left a committed relationship or marriage, do not weep for your past, but rather gird your loins, for your next impulse will give just as much catalyst as the one which gave the catalyst in the first place. This time attempt to infuse your actions with love, with a love that realizes compassion, with a love that realizes the reason for relationships.

Forgive and forgive again. Forgive yourself, forgive any who seem to have hurt you, remembering that you have faulty perceptions if you do not see love in every situation. You have the power to create children of your thoughts, daughters and sons of your heart by what you say and how open your heart and hands are.

We ask you to create love. Love one another, my children. Always do what you must with no excuses and no need for recrimination, and always turn your face forward and use what you have learned. This environment which we have called third density is a gift. Every tear, every ache of the heart is precious.

Is there a further query, my brother?

Questioner: Could you comment on the fact that is has a [inaudible] on marriage?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. In your terms, that is, in the mundane terms of the culture in which you live…

[Tape ends.]

This morning I did my usual Friday vacuuming of the first floor of the house.

This afternoon I ran a couple of errands. I went down to Paul’s Fruit Market to stock up on some more food to tide me over the  next few days when the temperatures are going to be taking a deep dive into the single digits with snow added which will probably make driving more dangerous. Then I stopped at Walgreen’s Drug Store to pick up some non-food items.

A Call To Action

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

This instrument asks me, “Am I ready? Am I tuned?” and we say, “No, my child. You are not ready, but you shall begin.”

And this is our call to those who live and hope to be pure, a call to action in knowledge that those who live are never ready. Those who are finally ready have no more acting to do.

Therefore, my children, be at peace with the actions which you undertake this day, seeking always to know the mind of Christ and to dwell in realms of peace.

And then so act that you may continue to be surrounded in the plenty and the bounty of peace in action. Those who are tranquil in activity are not necessarily wiser, yet they surely may act with more clarity. May you find that clarity. May you be, in action, at peace.

In this 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 July 22, 1990:

The question this evening has to do with personal guides or guardians, the spirits that oversee the progress of an entity. We would like to know what is the purpose of the guides, how they function, and how we can become aware of their work and work with them in our lives.

(Carla channeling)

I am known to you as Q’uo. Greetings to you all in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We thank you for calling us to your group and allowing us to be of service to you, for without you we could not serve and we could not learn, for you are most appreciated for seeking the truth. We ask, as always, that you realize that we have not come to eternal truth and do not speak eternal truth. We are not authorities and we come to you as brothers and sisters along the way of seeking the truth. Pilgrims and colleagues and warriors of peace and love.

You and we will always be much misunderstood. Consider that a great compliment but do not let it keep you from the humility demanded of those who would be servants, those who would serve all others in the name of the one infinite Creator. For you are not here to learn how to be loved. You are to here to learn to love. You are not here to learn how to be happy and content and peaceful. You are here to learn and in learning is change and in change is pain. You are here to be uncomfortable a great part of the time but with the divine discomfort of one who is progressing in its evolution as a being of light in the metaphysical sense, that does not perish, that has always been and is now and will be forever. This is who you are. This is what you’ve come to uncover, the part of yourself that was created by Love and is pure, whole, healed and perfect love. For that never varies or changes.

Of course, in this incarnation you are blessed as are all those who begin the walk of conscious speaking with an equal amount of love and free will. As love is a constant described in your mathematics as c2, so free will is infinitely various. So you are all the same, precisely the same and paradoxically because free will is always various.

Each of you is unique. So let us begin from where you are and examine some of the questions that have occupied a creative and seeking mind.

We would note that as is often true, though the questions asked seem quite dissimilar, they are clumped in the basic quest for understanding of existence beyond this density. So we shall touch upon things other than guardians, leaving others to be more specific of about those things of which we speak more general. This instrument is telling us to be short and so we shall attempt to be.

As you know, we have a slight problem being short as your Danny Devito that is in this instrument’s mind. Our heads are bigger than our bodies in the metaphysical sense and on and on we go and we do apologize. We are so eager to speak with you and to share with you.

Before getting to the group question Q’uo gave a general outline as to how they are honored to be able to share their information about our spiritual journeys that allows them to grow spiritually as well. They said that our life purpose is to learn how to love, and this involves a process of growth and change, and change is a painful process. However, they said that our true nature is that of a being of light that is whole and perfect and does not change. Then Q’uo said that love is also a part of our being that is constant whereas our free will which makes us unique is that which continually changes. They said that their purpose in speaking to us was to describe the nature of our spiritual path in this density as well as beyond it. On November 5, 1989, Q’uo described the painful nature of change:

Each time a truth that has worked in the past ceases to work in the present, much difficult work must be done in consciousness. For your mind must lose or “dump” the program which no longer is effectual for the seeking entity in order to make a place for a new understanding that will inevitably change the seeker in some way. Change is painful. Dumping information is painful. Letting go of old truths is painful. Being uncertain is painful. Being at risk is painful.

You are those who have sought a life of risk. You do not wish to stay in one place mentally, spiritually or emotionally. You wish rather to accelerate the pace of your spiritual evolution.

The reason that you have guides in this incarnation is quite simply that you need guides in this incarnation. Now there are two ways of answering the question of identity of these guides and we shall answer them twice so we feel that mathematically this has significance. These guides are portions of your deep self, the self that you identify as the nurturer; the self that you identify as the provider and the self that you identify with spirit having little to do with anything but abstract thinking.

These guides are also those independent personalities which you call angels and which are in congruency with ourselves in nature. Do you think we would appeal to you as angels? Angels are passé. We learned many years ago to lose our wings and gain a planetary identity. We speak still the truth and yet not all of the truth. So we are angels and we are those who come from without your planet, adding planetary influences of our own. So it is we who most happily as a Confederation choose this path of service as guardians, as guides, as compassion, and wisdom that can be reached for and achieved by faith, by listening within.

Why does a third density entity need guides? In all of the densities except for the third density there is not a veil between conscious thinking and the memory and the thinking of all of those with whom you share a geographical propinquity. Only in this density are you purposely made unaware that you are all one. You see yourselves as separate and you see the world as very, very challenging if not indeed nearly hopeless. This is no mistake. We ask you to learn to appreciate that which is known as negativity. If you wish to think of matter and anti-matter that would be one way perhaps of thinking of free will. There is no getting at the heart of things and at the heart of your self while your will is completely free and undisciplined.

Oh, you may have your joyful moments. You may smile in the sun and be kissed by the rain and rejoice in the snow. But in and of yourself you are not one who seeks the depths. For it does not seem that it is possible to achieve joy by being serious, by being passionate and by being persistent. This is what we are here to help you to do. It is always your choice. Your days are days spent in a classroom. Again and again you may ask yourself, “Why am I angry, why am I happy, why was I irritated by what just happened?” And as you honestly ask these questions of yourself, either at the moment or at the end of the day, doors will open to you because you have asked and what you ask you will receive.

You will find as you ask these questions that your free will is a rogue in the sense of being out of control and unpredictable. It is in its purest sense willfulness. It chooses at random that which it will do and pushes love before it. So love finds goodness in everything and will not insist on having an agenda to follow. The taming of the free will, the teaching it to understand what freedom of will really is, is the job of yourself aided by those portions of yourself that are of the deeper mind, of the comforter, of the various aspects of yourself which together make the higher self.

Now Q’uo began their answer to the nature of our guides and how to work with them by saying that we need guides in the third density because of the presence of the veil of forgetting that keeps us from seeing the true nature of reality. They said that our guides are portions of our deeper mind and could be seen as angels or also beings similar to those of Q’uo. They went on to say that third density is a difficult place to be, and we will always be dealing with why problems arise and how we should deal with them. Q’uo said that using our free will in a controlled sense would be to ask for assistance in dealing with problems which would then open the door to our deeper minds, the Comforter, and various aspects of our guides such as our higher self. On September 27, 1992, Q’uo described the way that we may access contact with our inner guides:

For those who have little or no experience in requesting guidance from those whose honor it is to provide such, we would recommend that there be those times of meditations reserved for opening the heart in this seeking to the inner guidance, and during this time we would recommend that the seeker begin to familiarize the self with those sensations and feelings that rise up from within as this request is made. Thus, the seeker will come to feel the response to this request, and will come to recognize the feeling tone, shall we say, of those who respond.

During these meditations it is helpful if the seeker is able to begin the meditations by centering the self upon those qualities of the self which are, shall we say, more securely set and which can be used as the building block. By centering upon the qualities that are stable the seeker offers its call and is in a position to remain open to the response according to the stability of centering qualities, be they humor, balance, care, devotion, intensity of desire or whatever the seeker feels are the most stable and available characteristics. Then, when the seeker has become familiar with the feeling of the response, it is then possible to ask for such in the normal round of activities, outside of meditations.

However, in this dualistic density it is often important for entities to feel that they can come into contact with the feminine principle or the male principle or the principle that has nothing at all of duality. And so the spirit, the comforter, divides itself for your use in case it is needed as such. You ask questions that are too deep for words and in a number of days you have your dream, your vision, your answer. And the longer that you pay attention to that which occurs to you and how you react to it the more you know about yourself and the biases that you have. You can then decide what of yourself you wish to keep. You cannot get rid of the love and you cannot change it. But free will is free and your will may discipline that free will, for you are free to do so. Yours is the freedom and yours is the will.

You will begin finding that you habitually act in a negative way concerning yourself, for instance, and you must call upon the nurturer for you do not feel that you are worthy. And the comforter is there to hold you and to keep you and to love you just the way you are. It is not the purpose of these guides to change you. It is the purpose of these guides to offer comfort and the wisdom that is part of yourself, in your deeper and hidden self. There are times when you find yourself engaged in a habit which intellectually offends you and you will probably call upon the male principle, for you wish not to be nurtured but to be kicked, to be shaken, to be taken out of yourself, that you may have a longer point of view and begin to see the damage you are doing and so cease to do it.

Usually the last portion of the guidance offered to you from within and from without is the androgynous or spirit-filled entity which has no bias and is a portion of oneness. You come to this comforter when at last you see that of yourself you cannot free yourself from your free will. The work you have done so far has given you a vision of what you wish to be. You are ready to make your choice. You are ready to surrender your willfulness to the higher self within, that self which is of love, which is of the Creator, which is connected with the heart of yourself and of all others. It is that guide which has no bias neither towards compassion or wisdom but only the consciousness of oneness that can aid you in surrendering your most precious free will in complete trust that you are only surrendering a small will to a will that you have created through many, many lifetimes, a will that you have deeply been yourself connected directly and immediately with the one infinite Creator.

Then it is that you discipline your will and you become passionate in your path of service. For you see that of your free will you may chose to serve and be a servant to all of humankind, serving the Creator in every moment, in every thought, in every hope and dream and ideal and in every humble chore in all things. Can you have the consciousness of serving the one Creator if the reason you will to do that which you do, even if it be sweeping the floor, is that you do it for the love of the one infinite Creator?

Now Q’uo begins to talk about how our various inner guides may support us on our spiritual journey by providing dreams, visions, or experiences that reveal answers to our questions about what portions of our behavior we wish to keep and those that we don’t. Then Q’uo said that when we are feeling unworthy we may call upon our female guide to nurture us, and when we are behaving in ways that are unacceptable to us we will probably call upon the male guide to be shaken out of our self. They also said that when we are ready to surrender our free will to the higher self within us it is the androgenous guide that will aid us to become one with the Creator in this surrender of free will, and enhance our desire to be of service to all of humanity and to the Creator. On October 2, 1983, Latwii described the great variety of guides that may work with us at one time or another to aid our spiritual seeking:

We believe that we have the gist clear enough to be able to respond in this matter. Indeed, there is a force which protects and guides each entity as it seeks its source, for all entities are part of this one force. You are additionally correct in your supposition that there is what many on your planet have called a Comforter which lends assistance in a more specific manner than the all-encompassing force of the one Creator.

An entity serving as a Comforter responds to the seeker’s special call at those instances within the incarnation which may be described as sacred, shall we say. In such moments the seeker’s intense desire for the revelation of truth in the incarnation is such that the Comforter is that which is called and that which responds by the feeding of a certain kind of spiritual food, a certain manna, as you would call it, which enters first the unconscious realms of the mind complex, and then, shall we say, rises so that in some way the entity perceives this assistance. The entity perceives in whatever manner the entity is able to perceive according to the system of beliefs which it has constructed during its incarnation. Thus, each entity perceives in a slightly variant and unique fashion.

There are also other presences which lend assistance to the seeker. These are frequently referred to as guides of one nature or another. Each seeker has at least three such guides: one of a positive or radiant or male nature; one of the magnetic, receptive or female nature; and one which you would describe as androgynous, being of a more balanced nature. Each seeker may also from time to time be assisted by other angelic, shall we say, presences and beings according to the needs, the desires and the seeking of the seeker. Each such assistance is perceived in whatever manner has meaning to the seeker.

This is the illusion of separateness. You must be separate so that you can be hurt, so that you can be challenged, so that you can be taken beyond yourself and given opportunity after opportunity to chose to love Creator by serving others or love the Creator by serving yourself and forgetting the others. As always, there is the divine paradox that before you can serve others you must learn within yourself to love yourself. For the commandment reads loving your neighbor as yourself. Therefore it is not selfish to work upon the self. This must be done persistently, patiently and compassionately. You would not be here if you could do this well. You would be learning other lessons. To love is your lesson now.

It is also, as has been mentioned this evening, for that reason that the Creator placed the attraction that creates the mated situation between men and women. The thinking processes are the same in a mated pair of men and women but the woman has, physiologically speaking, a much stronger link between logic and intuition. This creates for the mated pair a mutual ability to serve each other as teachers. To honor your mate is to honor yourself, is to honor your teacher, is to honor the process of choice. Yet have few of you in this density used the opportunity to communicate with another unique entity made of love, to find the differences in thinking, to use misunderstandings as challenges, creating abilities to improve communication. Opening the mind, especially of the male, to the gentle and pleasant waters of trusting and resting and being inspired. The female also enjoys in that equal partnership during clear communication, the practicality, the effectiveness, the different way of approaching the same subject that the mate has.

Skill at communication is poor. Skill at communication between men and women is poorer. This is not, nor is it intended to be, an easy and unchallenging relationship. Due to free will in this density the oddest people mate. We find it always, especially that part of our self that is [inaudible] calls for humor. ¹ For we look at mates that vibrate in such different ways that to pull together as yoke to oxen the cart of learning and advancing is the challenge of a lifetime. How poorly sometimes you entities do mate. It is well to find someone to whom you can speak.

In the density of love and understanding the mated relationship is there but there are two great differences. Firstly, there is no jealousy because the sexual experience is as common as the shaking of the hand. It is an electrical exchange that occurs without the need for the body or the vehicle touching. It is natural to those who are seeking together to share this energy. This energy is not remarkable, star-crossed, romantic or sentimental. This energy is the foundation of your passion. This passion the Creator had for you when He created you. This orgasmic intensity is Love.

Realize that when you approach a mate you are touching the Creator and you are experiencing a communion that is holy; a sanctified, blessed Eucharist, a sharing that is part of your metaphysical being if you chose to make it so. You may chose not to but what a waste. The other thing that is different about mating in fourth density is that vibratory patterns are not hidden. Consequently, there are very few masochistic enough to chose one with whom one is eternally at odds. In fourth density all problems do not go away. Much remains to be refined. But you see in third density you have made the choice. Will you be master and cause others to serve you and control them for your benefit? Very well. You are upon the negative path and are so with the blessing of the one infinite Creator. Have you decided to become a servant one who helps without asking for return or thanks or acknowledgement of any kind? Then you have opened your heart to service to others. And in fourth density positive you shall not have to marry anymore than you shall have to have a name. Vibratory patterns and the blending together of vibratory patterns to create a deep third vibratory pattern which is the Creator, the male and the female.

It is obvious to all, the need for language is lessened considerably by the ability to move in harmony with the thoughts and the feelings of others without judgment and with the desire to help. If you will look at your church congregations you will see what was intended to be a social memory complex, a community based upon absolute and unconditional love. We are afraid that the teacher known as Jesus was not able to sell that idea to third-density humans but it is held forth as the ideal. For no matter how different you seem all of you are the Creator and to serve anyone is to serve the Creator. Never argue or criticize yourself but when you feel that you have acted inappropriately begin again. Allow that female spirit to nurture you in forgiveness and redemption until you are strong again, worthy again, and able to go forth with the feeling of blessedness that is truly yours.

Now Q’uo began to talk about how in the third density we must learn to love in service-to-others or in serve-to-self ways, but in order to love others we must first be able to love our selves. Then Q’uo said that the mated relationship is a means by which we can learn to love another, but the mated relationship also requires that we be able to communicate clearly. That is difficult to do, so many times it provides catalyst that can eventually increase our ability to communicate more clearly as we process the catalyst. Q’uo continued by saying that in the fourth density there is no jealously because the sexual experience is an electrical one that doesn’t require that one’s body be touching another’s, and this feeling is the Love of the Creator that created us. Q’uo also said that in the fourth density it is not necessary to marry or to have a name because it is the vibratory patterns of the mates that reveal the Creator in the blending of the two. They also said that language was unnecesary as the thoughts and feeling could communicate unconditional love, but if we ever felt we had fallen short of expressing this love that we should allow the female spirit to nurture us in redemption so that we could regain the feeling of blessedness that is ours. On March 11, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the nurturing spirit of Jesus that He left as the Holy Spirit as a guide for all:

When Jesus the Christ moved back to the Source, to the Creator, this entity left a feminine and nurturing spirit available to all each day, everywhere and always. This entity is often called the Holy Spirit, and within other belief systems which are more comfortable to those of this generation they are now known as guides and masters. This is acceptable, as long as it is realized that these entities are part of a living faith in a living Creator.

Mathematics, from density to density, is impossible to express. There are certain characteristics which have been mentioned of this language. Those things which are true but have no way of being proven. For instance, if you have a language…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

We shall continue. We are those of Q’uo. If you have the language, “A squared plus B squared,” it would seem that the answer would be the square of the number represented by A and the square of the number represented by B [inaudible] and here is an indication of mathematics to come. There is a different kind of squaring which means that one must include A and B with a 2, the language being, “A squared plus 2AB plus B squared.” We ask for corrections as we have difficulty giving this instrument subject matter she is unaware of as she is not in trance.

What we are attempting to say is that the squaring changes. This density has a local habitation, a local geometry and physics and mathematics, a local time and a local space. All models that you can create which seem logical within this density are those which inform one only tangentially of mathematics of the future. Just as in the married relationship, to become one in third density, in fourth density and above, two remain two but they are squared or as this instrument would call it, doubled.

The energy of such doubling is that which we meant by exponential in our last speech on this subject. It is not a concept to be understood in this density. As this instrument already knows, to examine the first inklings of fourth-density physics one may look well to the work which describes this density as movement or velocity, called the reciprocal system. It offers two equal and simple bits of language, v=s/t, v=t/s. This density is an illusion to the very last idea of this illusion. In that which will come it will be more transparent that one may move in space, one may move in time, and one may move in eternity, the third option that has no mathematics at this time.

I must say that I don’t see where the mathematics that Q’uo speaks of in this last section relates to our inner guides and their assistance on our spiritual paths, but I will attempt to share information on the mathematics that Q’uo was speaking of. The squaring that Q’uo speaks of sounds like what Ra spoke of in 7.4:

Questioner: I will use an example. If ten, only ten, entities on earth required your services how would you compute their call using this square rule?

Ra: We would square one ten sequential times, raising the number to the tenth square.

Questioner: What would be the result of this calculation?

Ra: [24-second pause] The result is difficult to transmit. It is one thousand and twelve [1,012], approximately. The entities who call are sometimes not totally unified in their calling and, thus, the squaring is slightly less. Thus, there is a statistical loss over a period of call. However, perhaps you may see by this statistically corrected information the squaring mechanism.

So this is how this number is arrived at:

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 4 = 8

8 + 8 = 16

16 + 16 = 32

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

512 + 512 = 1024

Ra used the term “squared” to actually mean doubling. So if you double each number ten times you get 1024, which is approximately 1012, as Ra stated.

And the reciprocal system that Q’uo spoke of that was fourth-density physics was developed by Dewey Larson, and Ra describe the nature of space and time in 41.20:

Questioner: Could you tell me the difference between space/time and time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. Using your words, the difference is that between the visible and invisible or the physical and metaphysical. Using mathematical terms, as does the one you call Larson, the difference is that between s/t and t/s.

We are being told by this instrument that it is time to move on. This instrument and the one known as Jim are both most happy to entertain further questions at this time and we shall at this time transfer to the one known as Jim. In love and light we are those of Q’uo.

This morning I had my first physical therapy at Kort in Middletown. After seeing the exercises that I do daily and testing my strength and flexibility in 8 or 10 ways, the therapist gave me three new exercises to do and said that I would not need to come back to Kort for more therapy.

This afternoon I began recording three guided meditations by Daniel Shields, our webmaster, as Austin came over last evening to get me familiar with the process. It took me a while to get used to the process of using the new computer and the additional large screen on which the words appear, but it turned out to be a great experience because these meditations are very beautiful and powerful.

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

A Call To Action

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of love. This instrument asks me, “Am I ready? Am I tuned?” and we say, “No, my child. You are not ready, but you shall begin.”

And this is our call to those who live and hope to be pure, a call to action in knowledge that those who live are never ready. Those who are finally ready have no more acting to do.

Therefore, my children, be at peace with the actions which you undertake this day, seeking always to know the mind of Christ and to dwell in realms of peace.

And then so act that you may continue to be surrounded in the plenty and the bounty of peace in action. Those who are tranquil in activity are not necessarily wiser, yet they surely may act with more clarity. May you find that clarity. May you be, in action, at peace.

In this 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 July 19, 1990:

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and the light of the infinite One. If you will pardon us, before we begin, we will chastise this instrument, realizing that this runs close to the Law of Confusion, but we shall have a much more difficult time using this instrument because it has allowed a level of pain to exist over many hours, which is a natural and survival-oriented blockage of energy in the red-ray center to deal with pain the physical vehicle is not intended to sustain.

We ask this instrument and all instruments to be aware of their bodily preparation, and if there must be some medication taken, anything that might be lost because of the side effect of the medication may be gained in the strength of the contact. We realize this instrument dislikes pain medication, but we ask all instruments to be responsible and to come to channeling as comfortable and rested as possible, that in rest and peace and confidence you may stride forth as your magical imperishable self, your metaphysical self, and so speak with spirits having sorted them out by the time honored method of challenging.

We would like to ask each that hears our voice what it has done in the last few days that it could have put off or done in an easier fashion, so as to maximize the strength and minimize the weaknesses of your particular situation. You are stewards of a treasure. The treasure is yourself. How shall you spend yourself?

 We say there is no virtue in pain, no virtue in guiltiness, no virtue in judgment, no virtue in any negative or separating condition, thought or awareness. Thus, as you prepare for a meeting, let your mind be lifted, allow it to let go enough to realize the true state of the body that moves you about. Tend to it, care for it, show it the love as you show all others. We do not advise taking the martyr’s path unless there is no alternative and the martyr’s path is clearly marked by an unanswerable destiny.

Q’uo began this session by criticizing Carla for allowing a great deal of pain to remain in her body instead of taking the pain medication that would reduce the pain and make it easier for those of Q’uo to use her body while they were channeling through her. They said that they did not recommend following the martyr’s path unless it was the destiny of the entity. In 75.15, Ra had the same basic thoughts about how Carla was following the path of the martyr:

Questioner: The chink then, as I understand it, was originally created by the decision of Jesus to take the path of martyrdom? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is, in relation to this instrument, quite correct. It is aware of certain over-balances towards love, even to martyrdom but has not yet, to any significant degree, balanced these distortions. We do not imply that this course of unbridled compassion has any fault but affirm its perfection. It is an example of love which has served as beacon to many.

For those who seek further, the consequences of martyrdom must be considered, for in martyrdom lies the end of the opportunity, in the density of the martyr, to offer love and light. Each entity must seek its deepest path.

It is time to speak of a subject that all who channel deal with, and that is that there is only one truth, though there are many ways to say it and many approaches to take to it. Thus, you will not find yourself offering something brand new and exciting to those who seek. If you are in an advanced group, where entities are attempting to live as they are learning, you will indeed receive exciting results if you find metaphysics exciting. You will find yourself more able to be a conscious being. You find yourself ready to hear things on a level that is deeper than you heard things before, so that your mind does not block you from the wonderful experiences and discoveries of the deep mind. But, in effect, you who serve as vocal channels will be offering information of a certain type, in an endless series of ways, but always with the same basic thrust. We are concerned with building in your mind’s eye a theoretical model of the universe which most closely approaches the Creator’s. But you may see the universe and its purposes as does the Creator insofar as we have learned this vision. Thus, we do not teach you to love. We explain to you why choosing to love and how to love is so very important in this particular experience. We transfer to the one known as Jim. I am Q’uo.

This session appears to be a session for teaching those who want to become channels, or instruments, the basic tenets of doing so. Q’uo said that each who serves as a channel will be channeling various facets of the one truth which is that all is One, the Creator. They went on to say that in advanced channeling groups the living of this message could be most exhilarating and informative as one reaches the deeper levels of the mind and is able to become more conscious beings, more able to love and serve others. On October 11, 2008, Q’uo described how each one serving as a channel channels in their own way:

So, in terms of learning to channel, the interest for each channeling student needs to be that conversation with the self wherein there is a growing knowledge of the self, a growing clarity of the self, and the type of service that this particular entity wishes to give, so that when time comes to work on the channeling circle and be part of the effort to open the self to our humble thoughts, there is nothing competing for your attention, and you are able to relax and open the self and see what happens without worrying about the outcome or giving yourself any judgment as to how you are doing.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet you again in love and light through this instrument. We speak to you of the benefits and the necessity in your own spiritual life of learning to love. My friends, it would seem that this would be a most pleasing task, to love…

[Blowing sound in microphone.]

We shall pause.

[Pause]

I am Q’uo. I greet each again through this instrument. As we were speaking, the difficulty in learning to love is not apparent from considering this process upon the surface. For when one thinks of loving, it is easy within your culture to think of these things which are lovable, which attract your admiration, your attention, your affection and to which you would easily give all that you have. This concept of love is that with which most of your peoples are familiar. However, the love of which we speak is beyond that of mother for child, of lover for mate, of friend for friend. It is beyond any concept of love which you are familiar with and which you have experienced in a steady state.

The love of which we speak is beyond the description of words. But when we use words it is well that your word “unconditional” be foremost among words used to describe that concept. For of the previous kinds of love, the conditions of closeness of relationship, of specialness of relationship, of previous experience with an entity, are primary in this kind of love. However, the love of which we speak has no condition tied to it, so that this quality of love is given without any consideration of the entity, the situation, the time or any other consideration that might qualify the object of the love to be loved.

The love of which we speak is that feeling tone that comes from the green ray energy center in a free and open manner and has as its focus the entire creation about one. It is a quality which is developed from within the being. The only effect in the outer experience an entity will have on this quality of love is to become the focus for it. To develop the ability to love, one must experience the testing. This is a kind of testing that is similar to the tempering of your metals, that known as steel, for example, by the fire, the flame, the heat. The heat of your experience as you live your incarnation and your ability to process this heat into a light-filled consciousness will then allow one to express the product of this processing, which is that which we have called love.

The perceptions, the attitude, the manner of seeing is that which is formed and focused through this tempering process. As one works one’s way through the incarnational experiences, one will have many, many different responses to situations that become the focus for work in consciousness. All situations, all entities, all thoughts and experiences become the food, the catalyst for this process; become that which is burned, the fuel for this process. As one works with the heat, the friction of the experience, there is a slow smoothing of those rough places of those distortions within the lens of one’s ability to see, to see in a more and more clearly and specifically focused matter, so that one does not see that which is other than the self, other than the Creator. There is much work that is entailed, as you are well aware of, in this process. The process of smoothing the lens of your consciousness, of your attitude, of your perception, is a process which, within your incarnational experience seems to be a very, very slow working process.

However, we may assure you that from our vantage point, without your illusion and without the veils that are the natural portion of your illusion, this process occurs very rapidly. That is the great virtue and value of the illusion in which you now find yourselves. This is the work, not of just one lifetime, but of many, many experiences which you call your lifetime; is a process upon which you have been endeavoring for a great period of what you call time to accomplish. You shall continue to work on this process for another great portion of time. Yet, we assure you that within each incarnation, no matter how slowly they seem to proceed, there is much work accomplished, much of the polishing of this lens perception.

Now Q’uo spoke about the concept of love that was beyond the normal thoughts of a mother’s love for her children, the love of the lovers, or of friends for each other. They said that the love that is the basis of the spiritual life is the unconditional love that comes from within the seeker of truth and is felt for the entire creation. However, Q’uo said that this love is the result of a kind of heating, testing, or tempering of the seeker as it processes the sometimes difficult catalyst of the interaction with people and situations. They went on to say that this allows the seeker to see others around them more and more clearly as the Creator, and it is a process that can take many lifetimes to master. On January 25, 2020, Q’uo described the nature of unconditional love:

Indeed, the means by which one frames the interpretation of any kind of catalyst is the factor which reflects the inner opening of the heart in unconditional love. For it is the unconditional love, the compassion, that one feels within one’s being for all entities and experiences about one that allows one to interpret these entities and experiences in a positive fashion. Such interpretation then, by the purely open-hearted entity, sees all other entities as the self, as the Creator, showing the self the path to the One, the path being fueled by unconditional love, so that there is no obstruction to such a path, for all is seen as the One within all being, within the self, within the creation, within all other entities. Thus, one who can see purely with the open heart sees the One.

We shall now transfer to the one known as K. I am Q’uo.

(K channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. This process of refining the lens, through which you view reality of existence through the various illusions you experience, is then, as we have said, a process of many, many lifetimes. And, indeed, is not yet at an end with the harvest from this density, but proceeds throughout the densities until each again has become the awareness of All That Is. For this is eventually the perspective the lens of viewing becomes, the range of vision broadens to include all. The clarity of sight perceives all and penetrates through each layer of illusion that is experienced by the individual, by the social memory complex, by the higher selves, by the mind/spirit totality complexes, and all the various and progressive layers of consciousness which you shall experience.

We urge you not to be discouraged by the length of this process, but to realize, as we have said, that in each incarnation progress is indeed made, though you will be largely unaware of such within the illusion you now inhabit. We encourage you to realize that this is but a part of the process of “learnings” of your life, and it is a part of the progress towards the great mystery which again stretches out infinitely before each. But in your day-to-day life within the illusion, you may still consciously focus on and be aware of your problems and your intentions in the areas of which we speak, that is, the perfecting and the finding of the lens of perception through which you view the Creator and the universe of the Creator as expressed in the world around you and the entities who you meet each day.

As you greet each entity that you are encountering in your life’s journey, whether that meeting be but for a moment or for a lifetime, you will be aware to a greater or lesser extent of the face of the Creator in the face of this entity. And you will also be aware to a greater or lesser extent of that process of the Love of the Creator radiating out from the green-ray energy center to this entity, whether in the moment or throughout the lifetime. This is a process upon which you may choose to focus consciously, and attempt to develop consciously. There is also One of which you may become more and more aware. For the reality is that the Love of the Creator is all pervasive and your task is but to become aware of that fact. For all that you see about you, no matter how positively or negatively perceived, is but a distortion of that one great original Thought, which is the love of the Creator, and it is this love which pervades you also and radiates from you also, in whatever distorted manner it might be received by your self and those other selves around you.

Now, how shall you go about attempting to become more aware of this process and to begin to refine the distortions, so that what radiates from you is more closely aligned and not distorted? We may suggest first of all that which has been suggested to this group before in the form of simple exercises, that is, the attempt to heal the self as Creator, the attempt to view each entity about one as the Creator, the attempt to view each second-density entity about one as the Creator. As these exercises are practiced it will be noted that there is less and less necessity to make the courageous attempt because of the growing awareness of the fact that all about…

[Tape ends.]

Now the contact is transferred to K, which, I am assuming, is the student that is learning the channeling process. So Q’uo went on to say that this process of learning to love unconditionally is one which goes on through all of the densities, but it is here in the third density that one begins to see and love the Creator in all entities and experiences whether they are positive or negative. On June 26, 1983, Latwii described the process of being able to see the Creator in all:

This is the purpose of the illusion, to provide the darkness in which to find light, to provide the burdens, the carrying of which develops strength, to provide the difficulties in seeing the Creator in all things, that you may indeed see that Creator in all things. Take heart, my friends. Have courage and know that your desire shall see you through. It is as it must be for the great process of evolution to occur. You work now within an illusion which provides the greatest of opportunities for learning each lesson that you desire. Rejoice with those who seek and walk with you. Be at peace at the center of your being, though all around you there seems to be only chaos and confusion. We are with you, my friends, as are the legions of light which seek to aid you in ways quite difficult to understand, but ever present and available.

This morning I went outside and picked up the many small tree limbs that the heavy winds yesterday blew down and put them in two garbage cans for yard waste pickup tomorrow.

This afternoon I went back outside and did some weeding in the driveway. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the tiny limbs and leaves off the side walks and the driveway.

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

January 10

Behind Every Thought

I am the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ in the vibration of the consciousness of love which is balanced fullness to this entity. We greet each in the full measure of love which is the Father’s birthright to His children and the nature of the universe.

In measured steps did the Creator move upon the waters of your consciousness to create a consciousness of peace, an awareness of light, and a sensibility to detect and discern the creatures and ministers of light. Behind every thought and every concept waiting behind the closed door of emotion, there waits the spirit of a lively and all-consuming love, a spirit which engenders peace and joy. In no way can we sell at reduced rates the precious gift which has no price but must exact from each recipient a small awareness in welcoming.

The emotions of darkness are like a cloud around the spirit of those who cannot find enough faith to ask that love’s consciousness be a gift in the darkness. Yet we pray and wait for the opportunity to shine like a beacon upon the inward thoughts of those who do seek peace. Though there is great mystery to the consciousness of love, yet the mystery lies not in the mechanics of connection with it.

My peace I leave with you, now and always. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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