The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from October 9, 1988:

Q’uo: We have been asked to speak to you this evening about hatred.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. We apologize for the slow transmission, but we are working at deeper levels of the conscious but trance-like state, as this instrument has requested information which makes this state appropriate, due to this instrument’s own synchronistic queries. Before we begin, we would like to answer a question we find heavy upon this instrument’s mind. This instrument has been wondering, ever since the last time the beloved entity known as Aaron was part of a circle of seeking, why we were able to offer material of a high intellectual content. Firstly, the one known as Aaron is most intelligent, and will pick those truths of which he has the need, in a simplistic way. There is much of what you call your time for subtleties. Secondly, this entity is an humble entity, one which is grateful to sit in a circle of beloved entities and enjoy their company. Therefore, this entity is a very strong battery within the circle, and does not expect to understand each word, but is very pleased to be with each. This unconditional love offers the highest of vibration within your group at this time. Never estimate an entity’s worth by age or accomplishment, but by the ability it has for unconditional love.

We have been asked to speak to you this evening about hatred. Because this channel had also wished to ask a related question, we find this deeper state necessary, and will continually be attempting to preserve the depth of this contact. Please pardon any pauses.

That which is hatred and that which is anger, and all of those emotions which may be called negative, are distortions of love. They manifest through the distorted individual by blocking energy and trapping this energy in the center involved in the changing, confusing difficulty which is catalyst for distorted love. This catalyst may be extreme. However, may we say that that which the questioner considers hatred it does not know in full intensity, for it is incapable of achieving the purity of negative emotion which would be necessary for those which wish to polarize negatively. Nevertheless, we in no way disregard or lessen any of those emotions which are beyond the control of the entity at this time.

When an entity is extremely positive, as each within this circle is, that which may be seen by others to be unimportant or non-catalytic, upon the contrary sensitive entities which seek will certainly use this catalyst and experience painfully negative emotions. Thus, hatred is love which has been hurt badly. Anger is that which comes of hatred. Beneath the hatred is what this instrument would call the orange-ray blockage. This is especially painful when the entity who is in pain has some difficulty in experiencing self-worth and self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and self-love.

The question this session was hatred, and Q’uo began by saying that hatred is a distortion of love, and it manifests as anger when there has been a blockage of the orange-ray energy center and accentuates the feeling of lack of self-worth and self-forgiveness for the one feeling the hatred. On October 6, 1996, Q’uo gave a more detailed description of the anger that can come out of an orange-ray blockage:

The source of a great deal of anger is the dynamic betwixt two entities, yourself and another, and so although all fear has a red-ray blockage, many feelings of anger also are generating orange-ray blockage, as that is the ray in which you are working with yourself and one other self. That is the relationship chakra, the belly chakra, the chakra where many entities will try to control from. The person that has a lower belly tension is often reacting to another being who is attempting to control or is reacting because the self is attempting to control another. In either case, not only the red-ray but also the orange energy center is experiencing some blockage and when the anger has to do with anger at society or at the culture or at groups, this anger is also generating yellow-ray blockage.

What this means is that you as an energy user are put suddenly on short, short rations so that although the energy coming to you is infinite, the energy that is making it up to the heart chakra where it can open the heart is much diminished, so once you have accepted yourself for having this dark side you have the basis for a long program of work doing what we might call coming out of a hidden place.

The one which loves the self has the most undistorted energy available to manifest in love in an undistorted form of intimate others which offer negative catalyst, shall we say for the sake of brevity, though this is not the exact description. Beneath both of these concepts is the concept of separation. The illusion in general, made up of many seemingly other selves separate from the self, is most powerful. Thusly, it is possible to see each entity as unique. However, the veil has dropped betwixt the waking vision and the evidence that each is also the Creator, each perfect and all one, one with each other and one with the original Thought of love which is the Creator.

We are aware that each has chosen the path of unity, peace, the love of neighbor, the hope for peace within all nations, all hearts and all peoples, and above all the seeking of the one infinite Creator. To those who wish to ameliorate the negative emotions they feel, action is necessary. The first action one may take is to outlast the length of time one is capable of feeling the same catalyst. This is, as this instrument would say, an easy way out, in that no effort must be expended, but merely existence prolonged. However, we are aware that each wishes to move as quickly as possible along the pilgrim’s path towards the mysterious face of truth. Thusly, we would give you harder ways to work upon the distortions of love which are the result of blockages which keep energy from moving through the lower energies into the heart energy of unconditional love, which the one known as Aaron has such a great deal of.

Each of you has, buried within, an unconditional love. In each case, this unconditional love withstood many trials, but ultimately the illusion made its mark, and each of you has separated the self from the other self to the extent that the unity of all is not reflected in the relationship which is under consideration in each case. In each case, the difficulty which is, shall we say, the proximate cause of separation is that which paradoxically seems to unite, that is, the rite of marriage. To those which find that they need change nothing of their relationship in order to live in a married fashion, the catalyst which is negative will be minimal. To those whose expectations are raised by marriage or who have in some way separated themselves from their true selves during marriage, [they] will find that that unifying ceremony has instead placed great pressure upon the entity which creates the illusion of separation.

We would now say a word about marriage. This instrument has been reading the work of your author, Joseph Campbell, and we find within the instrument’s mind the concept which is consistent with his theory that myth explains the truer nature of humankind. The phrase is, “Marriage is an ordeal.” It is through the great sacrifice of both entities that a marriage becomes a spiritual reality. The gestation of this primal and cornerstone unity is that consideration which you may call deep love or deep friendship or deep commitment. The unmarried who have these feelings do not have as many raised expectations of change as do those who choose the married state. There is indeed much sacrifice in creating the first social memory complex. To be together is the nature of the density which you enjoy. The lessons are only partially those of aloneness and solitude. Much necessary catalyst awaits the seeker within the illusions of relationship.

Thus, we would say to those present, especially the instrument itself, which is at this time married, to ever lower the expectations of another self, to remember the desire for the truth, and to remember also the desire to be a positively-oriented being. Now this is to say that without minimizing the effects of negative catalyst, the self-forgiven and self-loving self will stand upon its own two feet and consider not judgment of any other, but the most helpful way to respond. If there is no blockage within the feelings and thoughts, expectations and hopes within the entity, the energy shall flow through to the heart chakra, and the negative catalyst will fade, slowly or quickly.

The effort this takes is the utmost an entity can make, and when that utmost is not enough, when the entity which seeks fails to love without distortion, the entity must immediately begin to forgive the other, the self, the situation, and the illusion. The illusion is designed as an ordeal, indeed, a series of ordeals, within which, again and again, each soul chooses the positive path of unity, peace, joy, love and light, or the negative path of discord, despair, hatred and darkness. When the periods of darkness strike without warning, they are needed, for each entity has all of the varieties of humanity within the self. The most positive entity can be negative. The most negative can be positive. This illusion fools each as it ought and as it must.

Q’uo said that the entity that is able to love itself and forgive itself has the best tools to work with in being able to love and forgive others. Then Q’uo used the marriage of two people as an analogy of how work can be done together to work with difficult catalyst such as Joseph Campbell described when he said that marriage was an ordeal. Q’uo suggested that this is also the case within the third-density illusion. If we can use the catalyst of anger, miscommunication, and seeming separateness to open a path to our hearts and find forgiveness for ourselves and any other selves, then we have successfully used the catalyst to find a greater level of peace, joy, love, and light. On October 23, 1994, Q’uo described the process whereby we might be able to open a path to our hearts after working with the catalyst of anger:

It is well at that time to investigate the complete ramifications of the situation which brought about the anger and to use the mental faculties then. To do so at the time of the experiencing of the anger is to confuse the process that is moving through you and is to pull the reins too tightly upon the animal upon which you ride. Far better, as we have said, to do this analysis at a later time which, as the process continues, may allow you to find more harmonious means of relating to the entity for which you experienced the anger previously.

The efforts to rectify difficult situations can oftentimes lead to breakthrough experiences with the other self as hearts open honestly to each other. That this does not occur often makes the desire for it all the greater in those who wish to give and to receive love within your illusion. The constant desire and effort made in this direction is that which builds within you the metaphysical or spiritual power which is much like the power of any battery which stores energy. As you increase the positive polarization the battery has the ability to do more work.

This is so in conscious[ness] as you intend, and intend, and intend and work without stint to attempt to find love within the self, within others, and within the situations that you share. That you shall feel that you fail most of the time is not of central importance. Of central importance is that you continue to try.

In the end, we must move towards meditation as our primary suggestion for acquainting the self more and more with an undistorted love, a light which does not fail. In short, we recommend the daily meditation, the reading of thought provoking or inspirational material, the contemplation upon that material, and the attendant praise and thanksgiving for the moment of consciousness. All of these are but the frosting upon the cake of silence, for as one dwells within the green cathedral of the forest or mountaintop’s bleak aspect, or the splendorous church, waiting in what feels to be a holy silence for the service of group worship to begin, one is entering the silence within as well as sharing the silence without. Within there lie infinite spaces, for within lies all that there is.

Each of you has two basic parts. One part is that of the Creator, that of undistorted Love, and to the body, to each cell, is given this awareness. In moving and knowing the body, an avenue into an excellently unblocked state of consciousness is encouraged. Therefore, if the entity is not able to meditate, it may walk about within the creation of the Father, for as this entity sings in its head, “I walk in the garden alone, when the dew is still on the roses,” this image was given to you by the teacher and Christ known to you as Jesus. Think of your inner space as the garden, and realize that it is your deepest desire not to be loved, not to be understood, but as this instrument’s favorite prayer gives, “To understand and to love,” for each of you is a radiant being. Each of you has strayed from the concept of unity, due to perfectly understandable catalyst. It is time to forgive. Remember always that the negative emotion is that which is as real as the positive emotion in that it creates the electrical atmosphere of certain of your higher bodies, and therefore affects your health and your experience within the illusion.

Those upon the pilgrim’s way need these obstacles not, and we are aware that each has sincerely tried to remove them. We may suggest only what this instrument would call prayer and silence. Each moves in change at all times. Change is painful. Those which have not together pulled to form that which can be termed an “us” must eventually separate in mind, if not in the physical or chemical form.

We have no discouragement for each. It is not right or wrong to act to think or to feel. It is, in addition, well to express the self honestly. The key to unity with others remains a responsibility [of] unity within the self, so that the self is a true manifestation of what the self has faith in and lives for. If that which is done in relationships manifests the love and the light of the infinite One, there can be no more beautiful gift to the relationship, to the other self, and to the Creator. When one loves the self, one loves the Creator. When one loves the self through one’s own perceptions of self-failure, or regains the love of self and moves once again in quiet confidence, this one will find the heart chakra unblocked, and the positive energy able to be manifested.

Now Q’uo reminded us that we are a seemingly separate self and also the one Creator of Love, and in order to make contact with this Love within us, as a means of dealing with the painful nature of change, Q’uo recommended that we use meditation, reading inspiring books, contemplation, and prayer in order to make contact with the Creator’s Love. Then we may learn to love and forgive ourselves and other selves as well. On January 16, 1994, Q’uo suggested meditation to relieve the pain of change:

How much of change is painful because it is resisted? There is in the makeup which you have supplied yourselves with a great tool; as always, we mention this tool, that being meditation. The levels upon which are lived the life are several. You see, to unite the spirit, the mind, and the body to promote that unity which appears as health, that health may be greatly aided by the frequent remembrance of the ground of being during meditation, even if it is only for a second. The various pieces of self are knitted up in that opening to the presence within that loved you before you ever hoped to love it. How precious each of you is.

When there is an excess of sensitivity and feeling in a seeking entity, it is then that the difficulties of the illusion are most poignant. We can only urge your thoughts, insofar as you are able, towards either a higher and better cause or towards innocent distraction, which enables the self to regroup. If the negative emotion is called by the other self in a persistent way, we suggest for the sake of the seeking entity that it express the self insofar as it is deemed necessary for survival.

Beyond this, the responsibility lies from self to self. In enlarging and purifying the point of view, each other self is the Creator. Each other person is truly a mirror of yourself. Those hatreds, those distortions of love which the seeking soul feels for another are only reflections of the feeling for the self. Thus, it is the self which must be turned to in forgiveness and total compassion. “That which is beautiful,” it says within your holy works, “that which is good, that which excellent, that which is of virtue, love, enjoy, do.” These are words of simplistic advice. Yet we say to you that your thoughts are those things which people, populate, indeed, your consciousness, and in fact move your destiny.

Attempt, therefore, to seek the Creator, to feel the oneness of love and light and to carry that flame within you which has been lit into each and every relationship and situation you may possibly achieve in this way. You are of maximum service to the self as a creature or child of the Creator, to the other self as the Creator, and finally turning at last from the illusion, the choice having been made, to the Creator Itself, to the great mystery which draws us all ever forward in love and light.

There is time enough, as this instrument would put it, in further densities to refine the lessons which follow the choice of the positive path. Each of you is a wanderer, each couple which has been asked about is already aware that it is of a different level of density than the mate. This creates certain problems of communication. The thinking is quite different from density to density, as the lessons change.

Tolerance of irremediable differences is learned only through the Creator within the self, not from the self which moves through the illusion in a wounded fashion, one way or another. May you each choose to love and to understand. This giving, without expectation, shall place a call within the universe for its balance, and to one who loves much, shall much love be given.

We ask each to live each day as if it were the last, to be as impeccable warriors of peace—of inner and outer peace—as possible, to pick the self up if it may fall, and to tabernacle with the one infinite Creator by going into the silence within. These are your tools. Remember the breastplate of righteousness within your Bible, and all the other armor of love. My friends, it is true—love is its own armor. Those about whom you have distorted emotions are…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

…light and love of the Creator at what this instrument would call the lower energy centers.

Let not these things be a stumbling block before your search for unconditional love any longer than necessary. The first order of business is forgiveness of self. Do not attempt forgiveness beyond the self at first, but only work upon the self. We find that each expresses its positive aspect, so we need not encourage this aspect of behavior. We do not encourage false behavior. We find each to be by nature friendly towards other entities and compassionate. Exercise your nature in this regard whenever you can, giving each passing stranger, into whose eyes you smile, a smile a bit longer, a bit wider, and from the heart. You will never know how many lives you touch by the gentle word, the kindly gesture, the gentle smile.

Now Q’uo suggested that we take responsibility for the thoughts of any hatred that we feel for another entity because they are actually feelings that we have for ourselves, for each entity is the Creator and mirrors our thoughts of hatred for them back to us. So Q’uo suggested that we seek the Creator’s love and light within ourselves, within each relationship with others, and within our relationship with the mystery of the Creator Itself where we all are drawn forward in love and light. On January 25, 1976, Hatonn also said that we should seek the Creator within as the solution to all personal pain:

Be of good cheer, my friends, and remember to attempt not only to seek the Creator in meditation, but to seek the Creator within your fellow man. With the armor of your inner guidance, and your light before you on the path, there is nothing that can harm you.

We have wanted to give you these words of comfort, for each of you is undergoing at this time some difficulty, not the same, yet as we have said, all difficulties within the physical have one thing in common; that is, the emotional or physical or mental pain. Be of good cheer. There is no pain within the garden—and the garden is within you.

This aspect of the approach to living in a positive or service-to-others-oriented way is the completion of what we have to offer through this instrument, and so with many thanks to you for calling us to your group, and as usual with our warning that we are not authorities but pilgrims which have walked perhaps further along the path than you, we would transfer to the one known as Jim for the closing of this session. I am Q’uo.

This morning I had an appointment with my rheumatologist to discuss having surgery on one of my osteoarthritic hammer toes on my left foot that is getting more painful as time goes on. We decided that I would see an Orthopedic Surgeon to get the full picture on not just the surgery but the recovery time which is, apparently, somewhat lengthy.  On my way back home I stopped in at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy more food for myself. When I got home I used a couple of wet rags to wipe the dust off of the old basement door as I plan to paint it and the new basement door which was installed yesterday by the carpenter from Mr. Handyman.

This afternoon I painted both of those doors, and now I may buy some more white paint to finish painting the bricks above the basement door which are the least white of the rest of the bricks in the house.

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

October 12

The Response Of Worship

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

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

Worship and rejoice!

Worship and confess!

Worship and give praise and thanksgiving!

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

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

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

I 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 18, 1988:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light through this instrument. At this time it is our honor to ask if there might be any queries which we may speak to. Is there a query at this time?

T: Yes, I have a question. It regards affirmations and changing your thought processes using affirmations. I’ve been doing this for the last couple of months pretty regularly. My question to you is, to change a thought process, you affirm what you want to change to, and you affirm that you no longer have a need for whatever blocking or limiting beliefs keep you in what you’re thinking now, your limiting patterns now.

My question is, when you use affirmations, is the most important thing just faithfulness and repetition, or is it necessary to develop an intensity or kind of a fervor when you do affirmations, to make them more effective? Or is it just a combination of both?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The field of which you speak is one which is large in scope, when applied to personal belief in the behavior and the roots from which they spring. The attempt to change beliefs and the behavior which is associated with such beliefs through the process of reaffirming or reforming that belief in an alternate manner will find success according to a number of factors, including those which you have mentioned.

The attempt to change belief that is an integral portion of one’s being, having been chosen previous to the incarnation for a specific purpose, will be somewhat less successful than attempting to reform a belief which has been created during the incarnational pattern of existence. Many are the roots of each entity’s system of belief, some reaching as far back as the pre-incarnative choice, others taking root in the early years of the incarnation, according to the experiences and the teachings that the entity is exposed to at that time, yet others taking root at a much later portion within the incarnation, having been consciously accepted as a portion of one’s system of thought and resulting behavior.

In general, we might suggest that the attempt to reconfigure the belief patterns through affirmation and the fervent and repetitive type of affirmation will be more successful the more recent the belief is which is being reformed. There are within the incarnational pattern various suppositions or beliefs which have to do with the heart or focus, the purpose of the incarnation. These are not so easily reformed, for the power and fervor which formed them in their beginning was not only of the conscious mind, but of the subconscious mind as well. These will yield not so easily to conscious affirmations, but if they yield at all, will need to be worked upon from the level of the subconscious mind, the level at which they were formed.

T asked about the nature of affirmations that he was using and wanted to know if being faithful and repeating the affirmation was the most important part of their success, or did one need to develop a strong fervor when using the affirmations. Q’uo began their reply by saying that T was correct in general with his assumptions of repetition and fervor being important, but one must also consider when the belief that one wishes to change was created: early in the incarnation, later in the incarnation, or pre-incarnatively. Q’uo said that the beliefs became harder to change via affirmations the further back in time that they were created with the pre-incarnative beliefs being the most difficult to change as they are part of the choice of the subconscious mind. In 94.11, Ra described how our subconscious mind biases how we see and interpret our catalyst, or pre-incarnative choices:

Questioner: I have drawn a small diagram in which I simply show an arrow which represents catalyst penetrating a line at right angles to the arrow, which is the veil, and then depositing in one of two repositories, one which I would call on the right-hand path, one on the left-hand path; and I have labeled these two repositories for the catalytic action as it’s filtered through the veil “the Experience.” Would this be a very rough analogy of the way the catalyst is filtered through the veil to become experience?

Ra: I am Ra. Again, you are partially correct. The deeper biases of a mind/body/spirit complex pilot the catalyst around the many isles of positivity and negativity as expressed in the archipelago of the deeper mind. However, the analogy is incorrect in that it does not take into account the further polarization which most certainly is available to the conscious mind after it has perceived the partially polarized catalyst from the deeper mind.

May we speak in any further fashion, my brother?

T:Well, is there any easy way to tell which is which? I realize through meditation, if you meditate long enough, you’ll probably start to know what is what, and maybe I’m answering my own question, but if you could comment on that?

I am Q’uo. The means by which one might ascertain the strength and source of current belief patterns are also various. There are entities who have studied the nature of their own self for a long enough span of your time that they are aware of the parallel patterns that have appeared with the incarnation and are able to pinpoint the beliefs which have formed about these repeating patterns. There is the means of determination which you have mentioned, that being contemplation, prayer or meditation, during which there is the opening of the conscious mind to deeper portions of the conscious and of the subconscious minds in order that information may be obtained in some form, whether it be verbal, mental, imagery or feeling tones, as you may call them.

One may also utilize what this instrument would call the blunt instrument and become aware of increasing difficulty in changing beliefs by affirmation and make the assumption after a number of attempts have failed that the belief is one which moves from a deeper portion of the being, in which case further attempts may be structured about the use of other tools such as the dreaming process or the hypnosis in which the entity will attempt to create a door through which it will move into the subconscious mind, and through this movement attempt to discover more of the nature of the belief and the means by which it is affecting the incarnational pattern and the means by which it may be altered during the incarnation.

Then T asked how he could determine which of his beliefs were of the nature of the subconscious mind and if meditation would help in this process. Q’uo said that prayer, meditation, and contemplation could be helpful, but if, after using them for a long period of time without success, then it might be assumed that the subconscious mind programming would need to be accessed through the use of dreams or hypnosis in order to change the beliefs. On March 8, 1989, Q’uo describe the use of dreams as a valuable tool in reaching the subconscious mind:

The ability to consciously move within the dreaming state is, for most entities within your current culture, an activity reserved only for those much practiced at the use of the dreams, for there is less respect given to the use of dreams, in particular, in the use of the subconscious mind in general, within your culture than there is within other cultures, some of which you have described as being of a more technologically primitive nature. Yet, these cultures are much more aware through their own beliefs and teachings of the value of the unconscious mind and the dreams in particular. And, therefore, the ability to move within the dreaming state in a conscious manner is a more natural part of their culture than it is of yours, and because it is a foundation stone upon which their culture rests, is an avenue frequently traveled and the doors, therefore, are more open to such travel for such entities.

And on February 10, 1988, Hatonn said that hypnosis could be used to recover information from the unconscious mind that might be helpful to the seeker:

The focusing of the conscious mind—of the attention more specifically—through the hypnotic practice and induction allows for a penetration to some degree of the veil which separates the conscious and unconscious minds, and for that time allows for the movement into the unconscious mind, to some depth and degree, in order that information and experience might be achieved that will add illumination to the process of evolution which is constantly ongoing in each seeker.

The higher self, as it has been called, is aware of the desires of each seeker, and will, with the appropriate intentions on the part of the seeker, work in a fashion that brings forth the appropriate experience and information, no matter what avenue is chosen to pursue and obtain these experiences and this information.

May we speak further, my brother?

T: No, that’s fine, thank you.

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

Carla: I have a question sort of along the same lines. I’ve had trouble with my mind ever since 1984 when Don Elkins died. It brings up thoughts that I don’t like to have there, and using my mind to try to control my mind is a joke, because the mind isn’t working right in the first place, or I wouldn’t be making myself miserable with these images and so forth. And I find myself doing it even to this day. The images have changed somewhat, you know. At this point I probably have as much frustration because I can’t do as much as I used to be able to do, because I didn’t do everything I wish I could have done for Don. But, the basic principle is the same. I don’t seem to be able to have control of certain emotional states that hit me, and I wonder, this is obviously subconscious stuff that is coming up through the conscious and that is creating a situation in which affirmations are not going to work and prayer is not going to work and… What works? Is there anything that works? Or is just time the only thing that works?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Though time is the great healer of all distortion, there are instances in which the seeker, for reasons of its own welfare and comfort, must look to other means by which healing may be achieved. In your experience, we find that there is a great deal of complexity within the patterns which have formed to create the current condition which you experience as the whirlwind of the mind which brings the pattern of weather across your field of experience seemingly unbidden, working its way as it will, leaving as it will.

As we see that the use of hypnosis and trance is not indicated due to previous experience which has potentiated possibilities which are undesirable, we may suggest that the utilization of your dreams be that means by which you may be able to find the release in a controlled fashion of the great whirling energy which moves within your mind complex at this time. The attempts to work with one’s subconscious mind via the medium of the dream and the conscious analysis of the dreams, as they are experienced and recorded, is a technique which offers the subconscious mind a safe place in which to release portions of experience in a symbolic form that one might then decipher…

[Tape ends.]

Carla asked what she could do to get rid of the images that were still in her conscious mind as a result of the death of Don Elkins. Her emotional state was difficult with painful images coming up from her subconscious mind, and prayer and affirmations were not working to remove these images. She wanted to know what might work to get rid of these images. Q’uo replied that, in general, time was the great healer of any difficulties, but that she might benefit from the use of dreams and analyzing their content as the way to discover how to eliminate the whirlwind of her mind and emotions. On April 12, 1989, Q’uo suggested how one may use dream analysis to deal with difficult life experiences:

However, within the dream state, it is possible to receive instruction that may, over a period of time, aid in the instinctive reactions to challenging situations in order that your spirit may be calm and untroubled while the concern is put aside and the problem at hand approached as an enjoyable challenge. With this type of dream as well, it is very unlikely that you shall be able to remember that which you have been taught. On some occasions there will be one thought or one sentence which you are left with. It is well to write that down, for these are your teachers; these are those who are with you always; these are the Comforter which vibrates in that vibration which comforts you. So bless and welcome your teachers, they have much to tell you.

I would also like to add that in Carla’s case of having to deal with the difficult emotional images related to Don’s passing it seems that time was the eventual healer of these images. She would frequently go to the Episcopal Church a few blocks from our house, when no one else was there, and prostrate herself on the floor in front of the altar for various lengths of time to seek the comfort of Jesus. She also saw a Jungian psychiatrist for a couple of years. About six years after Don’s passing she was going through some papers one day and read an essay that she thought was very good concerning how to deal with difficult situations. When she had finished reading it she discovered that she had written it many years earlier, before Don’s passing, and that seemed to be a turning point in her ability to accept herself for how she had handled Don’s difficulties the last year of his life. After that the difficult emotional feelings and images began to fade away.

This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Walmart to purchase some red masking tape. My second stop was at Porter’s Paints to buy another paint roller. My third stop was at the bank to make a cash withdrawal. My fourth stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at Cleaning Concepts to buy bags for my vacuum cleaner. When I got home I used the roller and the rest of the white paint that I had to paint some of the bricks beside the bird feeder that have always needed more white paint on them.

This afternoon a carpenter came to repair one of the doors leading into the basement, and he did a great job. While he was working on the door I was in the basement using the red masking tape to tape over the old masking tape around the hot water heater and the furnace which described an area around each that should be kept clear so that the heater and furnace can be serviced without having to deal with boxes or other storage items.

Newness And Clarity

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

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

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

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

Peace be with you, now and always.

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 18, 1988:

Asking for general information on the subject of selfishness.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a joy to meditate with this circle, and we thank this group for calling us to you to share our humble opinion upon the subject of selfishness. Indeed, it is most selfish that we are here, for by our choice of serving you, we find the possibilities of accelerating our own spiritual growth much improved. Thus, we are being selfish as well as unselfish, when we speak in groups such as your own. Indeed, the question of selfishness has its root in the question of self. Some concepts are known to you all: that there is one Self, and that that one Self is Love, and that therefore, one is always serving the Self.

Q’uo began their comment on the general question of information about selfishness by suggesting that they were seeking to be of service to the group by speaking on this topic, but they were also being selfish since serving others allowed them to further polarize their consciousness in the positive sense. This is actually what Ra had to say in 7.15:

The Law of One blinks neither at the light or the darkness, but is available for service to others and service to self. However, service to others results in service to self, thus preserving and further harmonizing the distortions of those entities seeking intelligent infinity through these disciplines.

With that said, we may say that in your illusion each unique portion of the greater Self or Love moves into incarnation in your lifetime now with a predetermined character and biased way of hearing and perceiving stimulus. That is, each person sees things quite differently. Some have little capacity to register or perceive the difficulties of others besides themselves, and this is perceived as very selfish behavior. It is in fact not a selfish behavior, but a constitutional or pre-incarnative way of being. There are others whose selflessness or lack of interest in the self and the things pertaining to the aggrandizement of the self is so marked that these entities are often known as saints, especially those who have died, especially those who have died for that in which they believed, that for which they lived, that for which they received persecution.

Between lie the vast majority of souls which inhabit your physical Earth sphere at this time. These are entities whose personalities are constitutionally capable either of self-involvement or involvement with others. It then becomes, for the vast majority of entities, a matter of choice as to whether to serve the self by controlling and manipulating others, or to serve the self by serving others.

When one serves the self by manipulating others, one is often known as selfish. Another way of gazing at this trait in an entity is to see the entity choosing a path of polarization that would be called the left-handed path or the negative path in which the self is seen as the equivalent of or substitute for the Creator, and the constellation of those beings which move about the self are seen as those entities which may or not be of use in some way to the God-self which lies within the self. Such entities are not known for their spiritual humility or their lack of confidence in what they feel to be right.

All of these hard edges that we described, these overassurances, pomposities, rash assumptions and manipulations, create catalyst for those about them, catalysts in which they may experience the infringement upon the free will in one way or another, and they then make their own choices as to how to react. There are, in fact, two perfectly acceptable ways to react, one being service to self, one being service to others. Due to the nature of your illusion, it is far easier to react in service to self than it is in service to others. It is not easy to love those who are discriminating against you, causing you difficulty, or creating pain by catalyst in your existence. Consequently, many people there are who inadvertently do polarize by becoming enangered by the selfish reactions of another person. It is well to remember that each entity creates its own universe by its reaction to the catalyst it receives. You may choose to create a positive, though challenging, universe, faced with just such a relationship. This, however, is certainly a challenge, as it always a challenge to love those, as it says in the holy work, your Bible, who despitefully use you.

Then Q’uo said that each portion of the greater Self that each of us is may have programmed a pre-incarnative inability to be aware the difficulties of others, and we are all unique in how we live this programming. Others are so unconcerned with their own needs that they could be called saints, and the great majority of people function between these extremes. And then Q’uo mentioned that there is a small group of people who choose the negative path of service to self because it is the path that is supported by our third-density illusion which simply enhances the seeming separation of everyone and the gaining power over others. In 11.19, Ra suggested we could observe this for ourselves:

Questioner: Can you name any of the recipients of the crusaders’— that is, any names that may be known on the planet today?

Ra: I am Ra. I am desirous of being in nonviolation of the free will distortion. To name those involved in the future of your space/time is to infringe; thus, we withhold this information. We request your contemplation of the fruits of the actions of those entities whom you may observe enjoying the distortion towards power. In this way you may discern for yourself this information. We shall not interfere with the, shall we say, planetary game. It is not central to the harvest.

There is the service-to-others way to react to the entities about one. One may choose to attempt to be of service. This may seem very selfless and generous. It is interesting to note how very difficult it is truly to be of service to another. Yes, one may please another, but pleasing and serving other selves are two separate processes. In the first place, that which you may think is helpful to another may not be welcomed by that entity. In the second place, that which that entity wishes, you may not be able to perform. In both cases, service to others then seems to be a null option.

This logic, as all logic when applied to spiritual reasoning, is fundamentally incorrect, for one’s basic service to others and sense of self are the same thing. The way that entities are, that is, the sum total of vibratory patterns generated by the thoughts, actions and feelings of an entity at a given moment are the gifts one gives to the Creator and to the world about him. The beingness is the first act of selfishness or unselfishness, of radiance or absorption. When your beingness touches in with the tabernacle of the most high and a portion of your consciousness remains in that holy place, then all places are holy; all entities are of the Christ consciousness, and the eyes with which you look at those entities are eyes infinite in their ability to channel the one original Thought of the infinite Creator—Love.

Now Q’uo said that we can’t know how to really be of service to another person because our attempt to do so might not be appreciated, and what another person asks of us we may not be able to do. This seems to make service impossible, but Q’uo suggested that all that we do is a service to the one Creator whether it seems selfish or unselfish because everything that we do helps the Creator to know Itself, which is the reason for the creation. On January 11, 1987, Q’uo affirmed this process:

For, indeed, it is desire that has set the creation in motion, as the one Creator expressed the desire to know Itself and to do so by sending portions of Itself into the far reaches of what you know as the creation to experience all that may be experienced and to bring this experience as a harvest to the one Creator that It might know Itself in ways not available had it not desired to know Itself through Its many portions.

Let us look at one more aspect of selfishness before we leave this instrument. It often concerns those who are highly oriented toward service to others that they continually must spend a large amount of time working upon themselves. This is not selfish, my friends, and do not for a minute think that it is selfish to work upon a relationship with yourself, with the creation about you, and with the Creator who made you. If you are to prepare and discipline your personality so that you may be of the maximum amount of service, a hollowing out process takes place, in which the concept of self as you know it now begins to undergo a change.

Those things which are of the material world may seem most desirable, those things which are of the invisible world, most distant. Yet may we say that your material world is an illusion, known so to your scientists, who describe everything as whirling masses of energy, not masses of things, so that dependence upon the reality of anything upon the outside world plane is a jest, although a very convincing one.

To move into the true nature is gradually to move away from consensus reality as it is known by your culture and your society, and to move into an individual and idiosyncratic way of thinking, feeling and acting, a way in which you interpret your relationship with eternity in the light of your temporary involvement with your own body as well as the bodies and inextinguishable spirits of other souls, other portions of the Creator with whom you may come in contact. Never begrudge the time it takes to keep yourself as clear as possible of those things which block the energy from the heart, those fears and possessions, being possessed, being trapped, being lost. All the inadequacies and fears that you may have, we ask you gradually to clear those from the conscious mind, to allow them to drift away upon the wind.

Needless to say, we urge you to do this through meditation, through affirmation, and through any other process which functions well for you, for you are different and special, and not like anyone else, and those things that are true for another may not be so for you. Therefore, the work continues in a lonely and individualized way. Yes, there are companions along the way. Yes, there may be teachers when you need them. But always it is each seeking soul’s choice to follow the self to the higher self, and thus empty out the little self and become as nearly selfless and impersonal as possible when dealing with others with true compassion. Or fill in the self more and more with the little self until the material world becomes quite solid and eternity recedes and is hidden behind a screen of forgetting.

We feel that the true selfishness is to choose the path of service to others, and we are not playing with words here. We have found it to be the quicker path, the easier path, and by far the more joyful path. We find the increasing lack of competition to be most satisfying, and the ability ultimately to merge together as one creative, collaborative being infinitely gratifying. We do not grasp the reasons for the choice of service-to-self entities, and so we simply say to you, there is that choice, yet it is not what we teach, nor is it what you [inaudible].

Q’uo completed their thoughts on selfishness by saying that as one continues on the path of service to others that there comes a time when the hard work upon the self which has been focused on creating relationships with others, with the creation, and with the Creator results in a kind of hollowing out of the self which transforms the self so that one becomes idiosyncratic, or uniquely distinctive. One begins to see the temporary relationship one has with the body and begins to focus more on the eternal nature of the self in relationship to the Creator and our own open hearts. Again, Q’uo recommended the tool of meditation for achieving what they said was true selfishness because it helps us to polarize our consciousness in the most effective way possible. On September 5, 2005, Q’uo confirmed our service is to our selves, to others and to the Creator:

You are a citizen of eternity. This incarnation was designed to enable you to work on subtle points of balance within your eternal nature and to give you the opportunity to serve.

Now, service to others is in part service to perceived other selves. It is in part service to the greater consciousness that lies within you in that you are serving the Creator as you dig down deeper and deeper within yourself to discover the true nature of who you are. And further, it is service to the infinite Creator.

Therefore, we ask that each self free the self from self-accusations of selfishness. We ask each who feels that another is selfish to forgive and cease from judging, for who knows where the selfishness may lie and who must be forgiven in final accounting. How interesting shall it be, my friends, for each of you to gaze back over the pages of this incarnational experience and find how accurate you were in the many, many times you took your spiritual temperature. We assure you, you are too hard upon yourselves. We assure you, your sense of humor will come [inaudible] you.

Thank you again for calling us to you, and we would now transfer, that we may answer any questions that you may have at this time. We would at this time transfer. I thank this instrument, and am known to you as Q’uo.

This morning I went down to the basement and touched up a few areas that I missed when I painted the basement floor yesterday. The paint I am using is the same color as the current paint on the floor, but when the new paint dries it is a bit lighter, so the areas to be touched up are pretty obvious. Then I went outside and trimmed away the Black Eyed Susan flowers in four different gardens in the side yard as they have completed their blooms.

This afternoon I made an errand run to Kohl’s to by some Docker pants. I am getting tired of having to iron the flaps on my Cargo Pants, and I also like the smoother look of the Docker pants.

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

October 10

See Love Within The Self

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

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

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

Gaze at the inward thoughts and shed upon them the light of living love. Praise those tendencies within the self which tend toward the love of Christ and its reflection within the thoughts of each and every moment. Come into a state of love with the self, acceptance and praise of the self, knowing that the Creator moves through each part of the body, every portion of the mind. Then, and only then, armed with a love of self in Christ, gaze outward and see Christ in every body, every mind, and every yearning soul. It is your choice to love and invite, with every portion of will, the viewpoint of love towards self and all.

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

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 4, 1988:

How does the seeker balance the various polar opposites such as passion in the seeking and yet discrimination in the seeking? Love and giving and wisdom and how to do this? The unconscious and the conscious mind? The female nature being receptive and the male nature being active? All of these polar opposites are part of following the path. How does the seeker balance them?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, and we thank you for calling us to your group to share our thoughts on the paradoxes of the spiritual journey and how to balance them. We thank you for the great privilege of sharing in your vibrations, and we shall attempt, as this instrument has mentally requested, to be extremely brief, for us, that there may be ample time for the soul-satisfying inner journey of silence.

Since it is accepted by those present that in the beginning all things were one, it is difficult to comprehend the nature of paradox, or opposites—not precisely the same thing. And as the student attempts more and more to accelerate its spiritual growth, it finds itself faced squarely again and again with paradox: service to others makes one feel good, therefore, it is service to self.

The group question concerned the various polar opposites on the spiritual seeker’s path. Q’uo began with a paradox which was that “service to others makes one feel good, therefore, it is service to self.” In 7.15, Ra confirmed that this is true:

The Law of One blinks neither at the light or the darkness, but is available for service to others and service to self. However, service to others results in service to self, thus preserving and further harmonizing the distortions of those entities seeking intelligent infinity through these disciplines.

Waiting, the reaching, the female archetypal personality becomes a passive power that paradoxically holds the riches for which the male active principle must most carefully reach and most sensitively find. And when it comes to speaking of passion, we come to a paradox that is different for each seeking entity, the paradox between passion and skepticism.

Let us look at the nature of each of you. Each of you has a heart, a center of being, and in that center of being, beneath all the dust and rubble of sadness and sorrow, pain and suffering, and the petty details of mundane life, lie the fiery jewels of passion, that creative force that sleeps within from the beginning of creation as you know it. For that of you which is of God is passion in its most manifest expression, thus passion is not something for which one strives as much as it is something for which one looks within the self.

The easiest passion to understand is the passion of the sexes—man for woman and woman for man. But has there ever been a man so passionate, or a woman, that there was not the skepticism also, certainly when it was deserved, and often when it was not. This is due to each entity’s having biases that cause a lack of trust, and cut the flow of power at some lower energy center, depending upon the difficulty, thus effectively removing the self from the experience of passion. And anyone to whom we speak within third density who has not had the experience of the infinitely divine act of love being spoiled by a lack of trust, we commend that person, for it is almost inevitable that in interpersonal relationships, sexual energy shall from time to time be strangled by the skepticism of one partner for another, the doubt one has in another’s trust and loyalty.

Then Q’uo spoke of the passion between the male and female qualities as the reaching and the awaiting of the reaching. In 92.20, Ra described the male and female principles:

In a more general sense, that which reaches may be seen as a male principle. That which awaits the reaching may be seen as a female principle. 

In 87.27, Ra described the nature of the sexual energy transfers for the male and female:

Due to the veiling process the energy transferred from male to female is different than that transferred from female to male. Due to the polarity difference of the mind/body/spirit complexes of male and female the male stores physical energy, the female mental and mental/emotional energy. When third-density sexual energy transfer is completed the male will have offered the discharge of physical energy. The female is, thereby, refreshed, having far less physical vitality. At the same time, if you will use this term, the female discharges the efflux of its stored mental and mental/emotional energy, thereby offering inspiration, healing, and blessing to the male which by nature is less vital in this area.

Thus, you see, you yourselves contain paradox. It is not something that has been thrust upon you. What has been thrust upon you by a serious program of meditation and seeking are new ways of perceiving blockages of power, imbalances in interpersonal energies, and any similar lack of complete communication.

It is no good to seek to encourage oneself to feel passion for a casually selected object. This is true of the generative chakra or of red ray. This is true in the higher elements of interpersonal relationships, for mental and spiritual passion may unite and strengthen and teach each, yet where also much hurt, inevitably, [much] will be shared. This is true in the passions one may have towards society, for as much as one wishes that in your illusion all may be fair and all may be just in all states, men and women may be honorable, and all plans tending towards peace, yet it is impossible to become active and work within your social systems and not develop a healthy and accurate skepticism. The illusion lacks paradox only to those who have not thought about the illusion.

The more one thinks about the illusion and about one’s relationship with the Creator, the more one is plunged into a series of paradoxes. Life as we know it—and we must remind you that we are students, such as yourselves—is a spiral, the best symbol of which we may find in this instrument’s mind being the double helix of that which this instrument calls DNA, that which has within it the intelligence, microscopic though it may be, to create an entire physical body, ready for a soul to use.

Q’uo then began their discussion of paradox for the spiritual seeker as being a product of meditation and conscious seeking of truth which gives one new, paradoxical, ways of seeing how energy moves through our various chakras and how we relate to the one Creator. Then Q’uo described life as being like a spiral, and used Carla’s image of the double helix of DNA which contains the microscopic intelligence to create the physical body for the soul to use in the incarnation. On November 20, 2005, Q’uo gave an example of how paradox works in our spiritual seeking:

You yourself are a distortion of the one infinite Creator in that you have been given a locality. Yet within you lies absolute clarity on an unconscious basis or level. Can you accept the paradox of distortion and clarity indwelling, interpenetrating each other and blessing each other with the gifts that each has to offer the other?

Thus, in one incarnation, the balance between passion and skepticism may be reflecting imbalances towards passion in previous incarnations, or an imbalance toward wisdom or a skepticism in earlier incarnations. Perhaps our best advice upon the subject is ceaselessly to seek your passion, whether it be an established path toward the face of mystery, or whether you make it up as you go along. That which is your truth, that which is your passion, will develop, resonate and become passion. It does not normally spring full-blown, although as one has heard of love at first sight, meaning instant red ray infatuation, which may well deepen into love, so may the spiritual student lay aside skepticism in the excitement of a system of thought which later is found to be wanting, and skepticism again takes over.

It is well to expect the movement back and forth betwixt the two horns of any paradox within your illusion, for upon the one horn is eternity, upon the other infinity; upon the one hand, yourself as a portion of the Creator, upon the other hand, yourself as you perceive yourself, experiencing that which you perceive that you experience.

Needless to say, we urge skepticism whenever there is the slightest doubt that the path that one is on is the correct one for that person. And we urge those who have faith and passion and care deeply about their paths already, ceaselessly to examine with the powers of skepticism and the rational mind what the mind feels about that passion. Now, the mind is not a passionate being; it is in essence what this instrument would call a biocomputer. Therefore the mind will tend to analyze the experience of worship, faith, joy, unity, consolation, forgiveness and love. And in that we say, please proceed and think and ponder, because the mind has a part in the evolution of the spirit.

But to grasp with the mind that which is occurring in spiritual worship experience, or in passion of any level, is to ask the impossible of the linear mind, therefore there must be a bridge betwixt the two. That bridge is, of course, meditation. We could choose any other seeming opposite. For the sake of simplicity, we again turn to the male and female antitheses of being. Again, in some instances, it is well for a male to behave as a male has been taught to behave in one’s culture, no matter what the sacrifice. On the other hand, if one cannot with joy and in some sense of peace perform such duties, they become only duties and never honors. Therefore, one must take time for oneself and in the same life experience take sacrificial time with those who may require, need or be grateful for the listing ¹ ear, the understanding heart, and the patient tongue.

Now Q’uo suggested that perhaps following our passion is the way to deal with paradoxes and how to balance them. Our passion could be seen as our truth as an individual within the illusion of third density and also as our being the Creator experiencing Itself at the same time. Q’uo also suggested that we might consider using skepticism of the rational mind to consider the value of the passion of our spiritual journey because the mind does have a part to play in our traveling our spiritual journey. However, Q’uo said that the mind cannot completely comprehend the passion of the spiritual journey so we need to use meditation as a link between the mind and the passion of seeking to balance all of these ways of seeing how to move forward on our spiritual path. On April 21, 1996, Q’uo gave a synopsis of how this may work:

The use of meditation, silence and the practices of contemplation that are various is to open the avenue from the deep mind into the conscious, temporal, incarnational mind that is in cooperation with infinite consciousness, living and giving structure to the living within your illusion.

There are other times when neither patience nor introspection may suffice, when that which must be said honestly is said to the temporary sorrow of each. Remember, however, that if the seeker remains day by day by day focused upon the treasure of life itself, the treasure of consciousness, and the goal and desire of progressing in consciousness, one may become ever more sensitive to the needs of the self for the balancing that exists at that spiral at that moment, for you do not go around in small circles, not in your job, not in your home life, not in any part of your experience. Each day there is the seeing of new things, and if this be not so, it is time to look for paradox, for you are spiritual beings, and there is more than gusto to grab, my friends.

We would at this time pause for silent meditation, hoping that that which we have said, which is an outline only, may be in some degree helpful. Further questions will be welcomed at the end of the meeting. In thanksgiving and praise to the one Creator, we leave this instrument. We wish to say to the one known as T, that if this entity is experiencing the energy of Hatonn, that is as it should be, as this entity wishes to aid the one known as T in deepening the meditative state in a stable and comfortable manner without the fatigue of the day, shall we say, catching up with him. For now, we leave this instrument in love and light. I am Q’uo.

This morning I went down to the basement and got some of the dark blue paint that I used on the garage and painted the window frame and door frame in the portion of the basement where I was painting the floor yesterday. Then I made an errand run to pick up more of the grey paint for the floor. Then I stopped in at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some food and non-food items.

This afternoon I finished painting the basement floor, and then I went outside and drained a quarter of the water out of the fish pond and used it to water the gardens around the fish pond. Then I filled the pond with fresh water.

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

Rest In That Peace

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

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

Jesus the Christ promised that we who comfort would be with each seeker until the end of the age. His promise is being kept most devotedly, most persistently, and most joyfully. The waves of consciousness are moved by tides through which it is not necessary to move if there be that self within which may say, “Peace, be still.” Allow the morning light to be a symbol to you of the hope and the faith that calms the sea of reaction, distortion and upset. In an ultimate sense, all is well and all will be well.

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, 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 4, 1988:

(Carla channeling)

[The quality of the original recording is poor.]

I am Q’uo, and greet you, my friends, through this instrument in the love and in the light of the infinite Creator, whom we all seek to serve with all of our being. It is, as always, a great privilege and honor to be called to this group for the purpose of exercising those who have chosen to be of service as vocal channels, and also to be of service in offering ourselves to you in whatever capacity you may find to be useful. As always, we urge you to take to yourself that which rings of truth for you, and to discard without a second thought that which you do not find to be helpful to you at this time, for we offer only our humble opinion, our brothers and sisters, of the fruits of our own path of seeking to be of service. There are many upon your planet at this time who are seeking to know the truth of the infinite Creator. Each will find that truth which resonates with clarity and harmony according to the vibrations of each.

The truth is very simple, my friends. It is the message that we and our brothers and sisters of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator bring to you. The truth is very simple and always the same, and yet there are as many ways to attempt to explain and demonstrate the truth as there are entities seeking for the truth. Thus, each shall find what is of value to each, and shall proceed upon the path chosen by each until that time when all who seek the truth shall surely find it, for they shall be one with each other and the Creator.

This was a session for the training of students to become channels, and in their opening remarks Q’uo said that the basic message which they and the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Infinite Creator have to share is the nature of truth. They said this truth was very simple and yet could be experienced in a unique way by all seekers according to what they find valuable on their spiritual paths. On November 2, 1986, Q’uo affirmed that their message of the nature of truth is always the same basic message:

There are many, many ways to view any particular topic that might be of service to others. We value each instrument through which we may speak, for our message is always and ever the same and gains in variety by being able to be transmitted through a variety of instruments, each with his or her own unique personality and experience to give another facet of this single message which we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator have to offer. Thus, we applaud your efforts to share your opinions and your experience and your thinking. They are yours to offer, freely given with no expectation of any particular outcome.

You are aware, my friends, that this is the indeed the true nature of reality at this time, despite the seeming separations that exist within your illusion. You are also aware that all of creation continues to merge itself together more and more closely to the One Original Thought. In this shall all not only find the truth, but become the truth, for in your seeking now you see only portions of that great truth which encompasses all that there is. You see only portions, my friend, because in your heavy illusion much is veiled from you at this time. Thus, you may seem to find many perhaps somewhat different truths at different times, as you penetrate more and more the dense layers of the veil of the illusion.

Here Q’uo began to give an overview perspective of how, within this third-density illusion, we seem to find many different truths at different times. Q’uo said that the creation continues to merge itself together in accordance with the One Original Thought, and all seekers will eventually become that truth. In 29.18, Ra spoke of this merging of the creation:

Questioner: Could you give me an example of the amount of gravity in the third density conditions at the surface of the planet Venus? Would it be greater or less than Earth?

Ra: I am Ra. The gravity, shall we say, the attractive force which we also describe as the pressing outward force towards the Creator is greater spiritually upon the entity you call Venus due to the greater degree of success, shall we say, at seeking the Creator.

This point only becomes important when you consider that when all of creation in its infinity has reached a spiritual gravitational mass of sufficient nature, the entire creation infinitely coalesces; the light seeking and finding its source and thusly ending the creation and beginning a new creation much as you consider the black hole, as you call it, with its conditions of infinitely great mass at the zero point from which no light may be seen as it has been absorbed.

We ask again that you not be disheartened in your quest for truth, for though the way is long, and the ultimate truth ever receding just beyond the grasp, yet there is a signpost of those seekers of the bright gleam of truth, moving together along the path, stumbling at times, falling at times, then resuming the journey once again and encouraging each other as we journey. You are all a part of this great mass of truth seekers, as are we also, for this journey in the quest of the truth continues from density to density. We urge you to treasure those pearls and truths and wisdom which you find that resonate with great clarity and purity with your deepest [inaudible].

Hold the truth inside yourself, my friends. Keep its flame burning brightly, for it will serve also as a beacon to those around you which seek the desire to seek, but do not see so clearly the way. Thus, we are all pilgrims, and as we journey upon the path together, may we each hold our own particular beacon [inaudible], the light of truth which burns brightly within your spirits. We join with the light of all others who seek the truth, and thus seek to enlighten and brighten the planet upon which you sit at this time.

Q’uo suggested that this path of seeking the truth is a long one and at times there are difficulties to deal with, but we can all help each other on this path as Ra said in 83.17:

Questioner: Could you expand on what you mean by that interaction of polarized entities in piercing the veil?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall state two items of note. The first is the extreme potential for polarization in the relationship of two polarized entities which have embarked upon the service-to-others path or, in some few cases, the service-to-self path. Secondly, we would note that effect which we have learned to call the doubling effect. Those of like mind which together seek shall far more surely find.

It is our desire to help you in this search for [inaudible], to aid you with brightening of the beacon and devote [inaudible] for you and [inaudible] in this day. At these times, my friends, you have only to mentally request our being, and we will be glad to offer whatever assistance we may.

At this time we will leave this instrument and this group in the love and the brightly shining light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used the garden hose and watering wand to water the flowers along the parking area in front of the house as well as the hydrangea and impatiens just in front of the house.

This afternoon I went down to the basement and used a small paint brush to outline the perimeter of the basement floor that I want to paint. Then I used the roller to begin painting the basement floor until I ran out of paint after covering about a third of the area of the floor. I will have to get some more paint tomorrow. Then I went upstairs and used the carpet sweeper to clean the hall runner rugs. Then I used the broom to sweep up the litter in Benny’s room. My last job was to use the dust mop in all three rooms upstairs.

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

October 8

What Is Truth?

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

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

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

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, 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 14, 1988:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further query which may remain upon the minds of those present. Again we remind each that we offer that which is our opinion. We offer it joyfully, that you may use it as you will, leaving behind those portions which do not ring of truth for you. Is there a query at this time?

Carla: Well, I have one. You stopped by saying, “love your body.” You just stopped, and then it’s like there was more, but… Was that what there was more of? I mean, was it at that point? Should we ask, “What can we do to love our bodies?” Or is it a question that it’s okay to ask now?

I am Q’uo. As we gave that thought to your instrument, we thought ourselves of the admonition in regards to time, and thus, at another working such as this, if additional information concerning your Earth home is requested, we would be most happy to speak upon the topic of your Earth and of your bodies, of their relationships, and of the care that may be shown to each and which may, when applied to the body of the Earth, aid in its healing, as the healing of your physical body is accomplished by repair.

Carla: We’ll definitely wait on that one, then. Thank you.

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

Carla: Well, what about the people from Maldek that blew their planet up, and the people from Mars? Those two civilizations both. Look at Lemuria—it’s a continuing pattern here of people basically wiping out their habitat. Is it inevitable for third-density people to do that? No, don’t answer that question. You really already did. It just seems so strange that it’s happened again and again and again.

I am Q’uo, and we would comment only to suggest that within your solar system there has been a great variety of experience, from the most disharmonious to the most harmonious, and it is within this range of experience that much has been learned. Not all progress is achieved in an harmonious fashion. Much there is of love that is learned by experiencing its polar opposite.

Is there another query at this time?

J: I have a query, but as usual, I’m thinking it through before I throw it out. My question is in regards to our concern with survival in the context of the coming planetary adjustment. Would you comment, please, regarding if our concerns are focused on personal survival, can that be construed as service to self? Are we overly concerned with personal? And is that a distraction from what we should be doing, which is service to others?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister The concern which many of your peoples feel at this time for their physical survival is not pursued by these entities in most cases in a manner which could be construed to be of a negative nature, for the negative path of service to self is a rigorous path which requires that one traveling this path utilize all the energies of the self and the concerns of the self to master the environment and those about one in order that the self may be served by these entities. Most upon your planet which are concerned at this time with the potential for destruction and the hope for survival are utilizing the situation that has developed as a result of the increasing technological abilities of your various nation states, as you call them, and the continuing tendency towards the disharmonious events and feelings that tend to divide one group from another and cause the potential for further disharmony to increase.

The focus upon this situation can be utilized by an entity in any number of ways which may or may not increase the polarity, and thus the harvestability, of that entity. One may look upon the situation and see an opportunity to give selflessly of the energies and abilities that one has accumulated within the life experience, and to share the knowledge of how to resolve the difficulties, how to give that which is needed to those which need. Another may look upon the same situation and find reason for frustration, confusion and hopelessness to ensue with the life pattern, and thus begin to color the catalyst that belongs to this entity with the fear, the doom, the dread, and the withdrawing of the self from those about one. Yet another entity may look upon the situation and see that which is improbable and, if probable, too great for one’s concern and thus ignore the entire situation, retiring into the concerns of the self and the family.

There are many, many ways in which entities upon your planet may look upon any situation. The situation that is focused upon is not that which determines the polarity of the entity, but rather, how the entity looks upon the situation and how the entity responds to it. This in turn is greatly influenced by the, what we would call, pre-incarnative programming or the framework [of] reference, the perception that one has as the foundation of one’s personality and the opportunity for learning that is presented thereby.

Thus, all catalyst that is presented to an entity within an incarnational pattern will be filtered through the unconscious biases of that entity before entering the conscious mind of that entity and will thereupon be deflected or diffracted in such a way that the entity will be able to utilize this catalyst, whatever its nature, in a way which is unique to that entity and which matches that entity’s pre-incarnatively set lessons and potentials for service.

J asked if we should respond to the coming planetary adjustments with concern for our own survival, or would that be considered as service to self and a distraction to our path of service to others. Q’uo said that concern for the survival of the self would not be considered service to self because in order to be following the negative path you would have to be attempting to control other people for the benefit of the self. Q’uo went on to say that a seeker may respond to any situation in a number of ways, some of which may increase positive polarity and some not affect it. They also said that our pre-incarnative choices can also determine how we look at any situation and aid us in our polarization. In 10.12, Ra described the various ways that we can respond to any situation:

The Law of One has as one of its primal distortions the free will distortion, thus each entity is free to accept, reject, or ignore the mind/body/spirit complexes about it and ignore the creation itself. There are many among your social memory complex distortion who, at this time/space, engage daily, as you would put it, in the working upon the Law of One in one of its primal distortions; that is, the ways of love. However, if this same entity, being biased from the depths of its mind/body/spirit complex towards love/light, were then to accept responsibility for each moment of the time/space accumulation of present moments available to it, such an entity can empower its progress in much the same way as we described the empowering of the call of your social complex distortion to the Confederation.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

J: I do have a question, but I haven’t formulated it, so if anyone would like to ask a question, go on ahead. Thank you for your response.

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

Carla: I guess I’ll have to read that answer. Let me ask the question another way. Is it of service to others simply to move to the country simply because you enjoy it, but of service to self to keep people from enjoying it with you in a time of crisis? Is that basically what you were saying?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that this is a new area of investigation, one that is more specific to the query than the previous query covered. Again, the action of moving to your rural environment can be utilized by an entity in any manner, that of polarizing toward the service to self or the service to others, or in most cases, remaining betwixt the two. It is the motivation or intention of an entity, whatever the action taken, that tends to bias the action in one manner or another. There is the potential for either polarity or neither polarity to result from any action. The polarity is determined by the intention that motivates the action. This is the principle which we were attempting to share in our previous response.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: To just further nail it down. So if we decide that some elite can be with us, but some who are not elite cannot, then we’ve probably moved over into service to self. Is that correct?

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

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

Carla: Well, I hate to hog the show, but I do have a query, and please feel free to advise me that this is an infringement. I will not go through all that occurred with the one known as R, but will simply ask for any comment that you might have, either on the situation, what could be done to aid the teach/learner in spotting and ameliorating and avoiding such a situation in the future for everybody, any comments you have about the teach/learning of the channeling process and of the magical personality. I know it’s a wide question, but I have a feeling that the comments are not so wide. So. You’ll probably tell me that I’ve got to think it through myself, right?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find in this instance that there is a great deal of information which is desired in order that a more harmonious experience in future teaching sessions might be achieved, for there has been the difficulty with the one known as R which has caused concern for each entity. And we would add our blessings to the concerns which each feels, for there is the need to learn from that which has been experienced. However, we find in this instance that there is yet much work which may be accomplished upon the personal level in regards to this experience, and would recommend that the line of querying or consideration which has been undertaken since this experience be continued, for we find that there has been much of a fruitful nature that has resulted from this intensive investigation into the nature of the self, the nature of the teach/learner and the nature of the channeling experience itself. We feel that each has been able to profit, shall we say, from this experience in regards to reaffirming to the self the level of care that is necessary upon each entity’s part when attempting to teach and to learn the vocal channeling process.

We find that we have exhausted that which we may share without infringement at this time and apologize for seeming to be so shy of words or advice.

Carla’s question concerned how she could be a better teacher of channeling and how to avoid a situation such as she had with R which was unique and very disturbing. Q’uo didn’t want to infringe on the free will of any of the group who had been part of this experience, but said that there had already been very good discussions that had produced some helpful insights,  and more discussion could also aid in the discovering of further thoughts to consider to aid in the teaching of channeling. On January 9, 2006, Q’uo said that free will is paramount for all:

Your free will is paramount. It is far more important to us that you maintain the freedom of your own thoughts than that we be here or that we say anything in particular. We are here to support you and we know that each of you has guidance not only from entities such as we but from your own guidance system. Please lean into that and depend upon it and do not take the authority of anyone else as being something to which you must bend your will.

Carla: I understand, because my concern is whether I should be teaching channeling or not, and you can’t tell me that, can you?

I am Q’uo. We choose, my sister, not to infringe, for we do not see that as a service, as you are aware.

Carla: I understand. I’m just very soft-hearted, and I don’t like to hurt people or put them in a position where energies might cause them to fall apart. I guess I have a lot of thinking to do. Thank you. It never happened to me before, so…

I am Q’uo, and we share with you great compassion, my sister, for we recognize the desire to serve burns very, very brightly within your being. And it is the method by which such sharing shall proceed that you are now considering, and we add our blessings to your considerations.

Carla: Thank you.

Is there another query at this time?

J: I would like to speak to the same question as Carla, and again I realize you may not wish to answer it, and that’s okay. But having been part of the “R experience,” if we can call it that, I have to say that I was a bit spooked, and being a new channel student, it was probably an experience that if I had to have it, I wish I would have had it down the road as opposed to during the first week. I have to admit that it has me in a major state of confusion, and understand that you cannot address that personal problem, and I will continue to try to work it out for myself.

But if there is some way that you can comment on the experience, maybe suggest a viewpoint that those of us who were there might take to turn it to a positive experience so that we will continue to channel. Basically I guess I feel that I’m not very trusting of the protections that I thought were there. Or that I don’t understand them. I haven’t asked you a clear question yet—I’m trying to do that. I guess what I’m asking for is some kind of understanding that will give me confidence to try it again at some form, and if you could comment on that.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query and its ramifications to you, my sister. First of all, we might suggest that the experience which you witnessed and which you have called the “R experience” is one which is quite unusual and is not one which many students, whether new students or old students of the vocal channeling process, would encounter within their learning of this means of service. It is one which required very unusual circumstances—the gift for visualization and deep meditation upon the part of the one known as R, the extremely enhanced energy vortex which was created by the entire group of positively-oriented entities during the time of sharing, and the disregarding of techniques of protection by the one known as R at a critical time within his own personal process of growth. These are circumstances which each taken separately would not be remarkable, but when combined, did indeed provide the experience which has been remarkable.

We might encourage each new instrument which seeks to learn the vocal channeling process by suggesting that the process itself is quite simple. The protection, as well, is quite simple. However, the clear understanding within the heart and mind of each student that partakes in this process is necessary in order that these simple procedures be accomplished in a pure fashion. The desire and the motivations of each student must be examined by each student in a most careful fashion in order that the channel within the being is open in as clear and simple a fashion as possible. When these protections and motivations are thus accomplished, the process may be expected to proceed with little risk or danger to the student.

J was part of the “R experience”, and as a new channel was uncertain as to whether she wished to continue the process of learning to channel as she felt what happened to R was quite spooky and unnerving. Q’uo began their response by saying that what happened to R was quite unique and would not have happened unless certain factors had come together all at once such as: the gift for visualization and deep meditation upon the part of the one known as R, the extremely enhanced energy vortex which was created by the entire group of positively-oriented entities during the time of sharing, and the disregarding of techniques of protection by the one known as R at a critical time within his own personal process of growth.” Because R apparently disregarded the techniques of protection, which I am assuming was the challenging process, this uniquely difficult situation for R came about. On January 29, 1995, Q’uo underlined the value of challenging contacts:

We are those of the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We apologize for the length of time that the challenging process took, but this is always necessary work which needs to be done meticulously and we attempt never to fail to mention this when it applies. We thank the one known as Carla for pursuing this process until satisfied. The discernment was necessary, in our opinion.

May we speak to any further query, my sister?

J: Not at this time, thank you.

Carla: I’d like to ask a shorty. Could you confirm that the protection that I give the circle itself is adequate, or even more than adequate? That people can be confident of it, unless the entity is part of the personality of the new channel, in which case I would have no jurisdiction over it, and that is why I could do no more than talk to Yadda and make sure that Yadda was attempting to control the situation. This is what I believe happened. I just wondered if you could confirm it.

I am Q’uo, and your assumption is basically correct, my sister. The protection that you as teach/learner provide for the circle of new instruments, and the protection that each within the circle provides each other in the seeking is a function again of the clear and simple motivation, the desire and the practice upon the part of each which partakes within the circle. Thus, the circle is, as we find your saying speaks, as strong as the weakest link. However, even the weakest link may be enhanced by the combined efforts of each within the circle. Thus, each adds unto the wall of light, shall we say, that forms about such a circle of seeking, as this circle of seeking has provided its own wall of light.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: I’m just arbitrarily going to stop, because I don’t want to wear the instrument out. Thank you very much. I’ll ask another time.

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

J: I have one. Again, I realize you may not be able to answer this question, but with the “R incident,” I realized it was not really… it was our incident, it was not what we call the “R incident,” but I’m doing it because I don’t have another name for it. But I just want to clarify, let them all realize that we were all key players in that situation.

What I’m confused about is when the situation did occur, how much R was channeling himself, and how much he was channeling something outside of himself. The reason I’m concerned is because of something he said in reference to me which has [inaudible]. Let me try to put this question in a way that you might be able to answer it.

Okay. If you can give me percentages, say, how much R was channeling something inside himself, how much of Confederation membership he was channeling, and how much was psychic greeting?

I am Q’uo, and we find that there is a difficulty in answering with precise percentages in regards to the efforts of the one known as R to serve as a vocal instrument in the one case, and the efforts of the one known as R to deal with a difficult personal situation in another case. We may suggest that all new instruments—and this includes the one known as R—begin the channeling process with a fairly significant portion of the channeled message being of their own origination. This is in order that the new instrument might begin the process, and we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the One Creator find it helpful to spark those personal memories and experiences within the new instrument which are congruent with our understanding of the Law of Love and the Law of Understanding and Unity in order that a beginning might be made.

As the new instrument becomes more experienced, this percentage of personally originated material shrinks until it is approximately thirty percent, and thus our portion would be the greater, that is, seventy percent. Thus you may see, the new instrument begins with a fairly significant, even a majority of the information channeled having its origin within the self of the instrument. We may suggest, therefore, that you not be overly concerned with any information which was transmitted during the experience of the one known as R which each present within that circle did indeed have a part to share, however small. We would not suggest that the information channeled through the one known as R therefore be given very great weight.

May we speak to any further query, my sister?

J: No, thank you. I really appreciate your answering the question, but I like your answer.

Carla: I can’t stand that—I’ve got to ask a related one. From what I could tell, by the time R was on the floor, he was channeling a mixture of a negative entity, which called itself anything it wanted to, and wanted to control, and a portion of his own personality which had the same basic motives, thereby forming a rather efficient service-to-others channel out of a very sensitive, positive instrument. Can you confirm this? That there was not Confederation content in that message on the floor?

I am Q’uo, and we may make this basic confirmation with additional notation that there was a slight misperception in your query concerning the nature of the service offered.

Carla: Does that have to do with my Christian background? That distortion?

I am Q’uo. We simply meant to speak to what we feel was a misstatement on your part in using the term “service to others” rather [than] “service to self.”

Carla: Oh, thank you very much. Yes. I meant service to self. Yeah.

I am Q’uo. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: Is that why he wouldn’t [let] me touch him, and he wouldn’t let me in the circle? Because I was too much of a polarized towards service-to-others nature?

I am Q’uo, and we find that we again approach that line of infringement across which we do not wish to step at this time.

Carla: May I ask if there is more than one motive for not allowing the touching? Or if there is only one? That would help me in my thinking.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We do not wish to either confuse your thinking or to clarify it at this time, for to do either, we feel, would be an infringement. Thus, we choose not to speak to this query.

Carla: You would recommend simple analysis then?

I am Q’uo. We would recommend your powers of analysis be applied, your powers of prayer and meditation be added, and that the clarification of time passing might also be an aid in this case.

Carla: Well, I sure do thank you a lot for answering. I’ve been pestering you. I’m sorry. I’ll stop.

I am Q’uo. We thank you. Not only for your queries, my sister, but for your deep desire to serve, as well. Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: I do have a question, and what sparks it is that in our circle tonight we have a young gentleman, and given what we were talking about earlier, about Earth adjustments—which is my favorite phrase—how can we best prepare children, or how can we talk to children about this kind of thing, and how can we make them understand their role? Kids at this age—and I’m talking about children probably eighteen and under—are not especially aware of their personal power. They haven’t had a lot of experience with personal power, so they may not understand that they really do have a significant role to play. How would you recommend that that could be described to them? Does that question make sense?

I am Q’uo, and we feel that there is quite sufficient sense within the query in order that we might speak. The universe is the classroom for each student, whether the student be young or old in experience and in years. Each has within the life pattern a portion of the universe; each may look within any portion of the life pattern and see a reflection of that which is within and that which is without. Your own solar system is much likened unto the molecule within any portion of your creation. Each molecule is much likened unto a universe itself, with atoms moving with incredible speed and fluidity. Each person may be seen to be composed of many smaller parts of organs, of veins, of arteries, of cells, of tissue, and each plays a part within the scope and health of the entire organism.

Each person within a family, within a community, within a classroom has a part to play that influences the whole. The whole of the classroom, of the family, of the community has an influence upon each individual. The touch and presence and mark made by each entity is felt not only within the family, the classroom, and the community, but is felt within the planetary being and indeed throughout the one creation, for there is a connection between all portions of creation. As a note played upon a musical instrument is heard by any ear within its range of sound, thus are feelings and thoughts and actions recorded within the self, within the family, within the Earth itself and indeed each is heard as a note throughout the one creation.

Thus, each student of life may learn of that which is great by looking at that which is small, may learn of that which is without by looking at that which is within, may also learn in the reverse order, as correlations can be made from small to large, from within to without. Those connecting fibers and pathways which bind each to the other and each to the planet and each planet to the creation are those pathways which lead from understanding of one kind to understanding of another. Thus may each discover that which one sees within the realm of one’s own being.

The Questioner wanted to know how to educate kids about their role in the Earth adjustments that are occurring, what their role in these adjustments is, and how kids can become aware of their power in this process. Q’uo gave an answer that sought to explain how all of the creation is like unto a classroom where all entities are part of the process of evolution, and there are connections that reveal what anyone learns within this classroom is also that which can be learned within each self because all are connected in unity with each other. On February 12, 1989, Q’uo said that we all learn together like cells of the body:

The nature of the transfer of information is likened unto the speaking of the cells of the body to each other so that one portion which has been long removed from another might begin to reacquaint itself with that which is, indeed, a portion of itself and which is called to the self by the self.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you again, my sister. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, for we find that we have brought each to the point of information gathering which begins to move beyond the ability to process at this time. As always, we are most humbly grateful to have been invited to join your circle this evening, and we hope that we have been able to serve in the manner which has been asked of us. We look forward with joy to each future, as you call it, gathering, and shall be with you upon your request. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we leave each at this time in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went outside and used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden, the Ruins Mound, the gardens around the fish pond, the area around the cross, the Yellow Creeping Jenny garden, and the Astilbe Garden in the back yard. Then I came inside and had lunch just before my monthly Q & A session with Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. As always, the questions were very thoughtful and coming from the heart. I really enjoy talking to groups like this about the Law of One and how it applies to every situation in our lives. I think that groups like this are very important as aids to the spiritual journey of each seeker within the group.

This afternoon I went back outside and continued trimming the weeds around Wuthering Heights and the Flower Fall in the front yard, and then around all of the Forsythia bushes in the back yard. I was also able to trim along all the brick walks. Then I used my backpack blower to blow all of the walkways clean.

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

October 7

What Is The Holy Spirit?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, 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 14, 1988:

Concerns the changes on the Earth in relation to the greenhouse effect. There’s been a lot of talking recently with our hot, hazy and humid weather as the cause, and we’re wondering what kind of shape the Earth is in? Has the greenhouse effect been responsible for the changes that we’ve seen in the weather patterns? And just in general, what kind of shape is the Earth in?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet each in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, whose power, glory and majesty you see about you in earth and sea and sky, in grassland and woods and desert plain. I greet you in the love that created all things and in the light of which all things are made. Above all I greet you in the polarity of service to others, for that question which you have asked this evening revolves quite directly around the question of service to others.

You wish to know basically the temperature, shall we say, or the readout of your native island home’s situation as regards its viability at this particular point or nexus in time. You want to know [what] you can do and what can be done, you want to know if it is reversible or irreversible. May we thank the one who asked this question, while noting that there is a most basic misconception within the question itself, about which our message will deal perhaps more nearly primarily than the original question, for of the precise state of this planet, we cannot tell you, nor would we, could we; however, we cannot.

We can tell you that stasis is not a natural state, but rather change and evolution, and this includes the second density and the first as well as all the others. It is inevitable, therefore, that the planet which you call Earth shall undergo not just one, but many calamities in the course of its existence. You must remember that its lifetime and its children are more numerous than one can imagine from your perspective. Entire portions of your planet have been unviable in the past, and they shall again be in the future. This is the nature of the living process. That which comes into being has a various state of wellness, and in the end will dissolve into the dust from which it was formed. This is true of your planet, as it is true of each of you in a physical, or, shall we say, chemical yellow-ray body sense. Each building constructed shall one day be ruined, charred and piles of stone. Each smiling child and newborn babe shall one day have the wrinkled cheek of old age and cease the breathing in this little life you call life.

There is a great difference betwixt your planet which is of second-density awareness and yourselves which are of third-density or self-conscious awareness. The Earth itself lies within the power of the Logos, and does not fear change, even if the change be major and what those to whom we speak would call catastrophic. If there is to be the glacier or the greenhouse effect or the planetary shift or the great earthquake or the great conspiracy—one of several, we may add, that this instrument has heard—yet still the Earth itself shall not be afraid. Perhaps it shall feel sorrow, but it is still with the Logos; it is still imbued with love, wishing only to give and to receive that love.

For this simple reason, we would conclude this portion of our speaking by encouraging each of you to refrain from fear with the same faith of those who do not have self-consciousness, but know only the love and the light of the infinite Creator. This is a service-to-others planet, and one may see in the example of the helpful environment, the trees that breathe that which entities such as yourselves expire, and expire that which those of your kind breathe. This is one example, a rather obvious one, of the loving, serving, giving nature of second density. It moves to the light. Whatever happens to it, it shall survive in its own way, unless it be blasted to pieces, in which case it would simply die.

The planet can do a limited amount to aid a limited amount of people who are aware of places of energy which for them may be helpful. However, this aid is limited to those concepts and feelings which cannot be put into words. Thus, those whose church is the green cathedral of the forest, the mountains, and nature itself will find themselves as tongue-tied as the trees and flowers in attempting to describe or put into some meaningful context the experience of worship within the setting of nature, although it is perfectly acceptable to the Creator that the face of the Creator be seen in this density so filled with the Logos and Its consciousness.

The group question concerned the greenhouse effect and what shape is our Earth in, plus is the greenhouse effect responsible for weather changes. I searched the internet for an explanation of the greenhouse effect:

Greenhouse gases are part of Earth’s atmosphere. This is why Earth is often called the ‘Goldilocks’ planet – its conditions are just right, not too hot or too cold, allowing life to thrive. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is its natural greenhouse effect, which maintains an average temperature of 15 °C (59 °F) . However, in the last century, human activities, primarily from burning fossil fuels that have led to the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, have disrupted Earth’s energy balance. This has led to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and ocean. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near Earth’s surface, causing temperatures to rise.

Q’uo began their response by saying that stasis, or stability, is not the normal way of life for our planet or a person, but constant change is more the rule of life for both as various catastrophies have been experienced by our Earth and likely would be again. Q’uo said that our planet does not fear change because it rests within the Love of the Logos, and they suggested that we also not fear change. Then Q’uo described our Earth as having second-density awareness which does not match Ra’s description in 13.22, where Ra said our population was third density, but our Earth was fourth density:

Questioner: What is the density level of our planet Earth at this time?

Ra: I am Ra. The sphere upon which you dwell is third density in its beingness of mind/body/spirit complexes. It is now in a space/time continuum, fourth density. This is causing a somewhat difficult harvest.

Before we go on, we would note at this time that your yellow [-ray] physical bodies are also second-density creatures. We would now move on to the more important complex of ideas concerning what one may do to aid the planet.

As the planet and all the creatures upon it that grow and flower and turn to the light have consciousness, that consciousness is inspired and made to rejoice and flow in harmony and rhythm with any whose attention to it is loving and sweet. This is why the song sung in love aids the flower, and the soft voice helps the vegetables grow. This is why there are things other than your fertilizer and your—this instrument uses the word—pesticide that can truly aid the planet on a far more basic level for you. If you correct the soil or plant the correct crops in order to grow according to that soil, you are indeed aiding the planet by aiding its productivity, but if you have not love for the seed and love for the soil, then the second-density creatures which are the object of your dutious tending do not become self-aware, or aware of their own beauty or their own usefulness or their own sacrifice.

Beauty, function and sacrifice are three great principles of self-consciousness. They, that is those creatures which dwell in second density, are attempting to become self-conscious enough, that is, invested with enough personal consciousness of self to become fully human and begin to interact and move about the planet to learn the lessons of love once again, those very lessons which they surrender at second-density graduation in order to move into third density, study, think, experience, feel and integrate the catalyst therein and make the choice between fourth-density positive or service to others aspects of love and service to self aspects of that same love.

Thus, what one may do to aid the planet begins with the being which walks upon the grass, aware of and thanking the Earth for its energy. It is the entity which forms relationships with those second-density creatures about it, speaking with them or silently caring for them, that invest in love those creatures turning to the light to the point where they not only turn to the light, but know that they are turning to the light. It is your density’s confusion as to how to use that light, for, oh, how easy it is to choose to use that light, that power, that glory of being independent, to make free choices that do not polarize one in service to others or in some way to not aid the survival of the entity. Indeed, there are many actively self-destructive souls who polarize neither towards the positive nor the negative, but in a self-destructive manner sabotage the good with the bad, the bad with the good, remaining forever in the well of indifference which lies between the two polarities.

To aid the planet, we urge each to walk upon it and bless it, to admire the accidents of the day, the blooms that have been freely given, whether there is an eye to see or know. We urge each to be aware of the beauty, the truth, the sanctity of that green cathedral that lies without the shuttered windows of human habitation upon your planet. Were we not aware of the fragility of your physical vehicles, we would urge each to sleep upon the ground; we would urge each to make the connection, for there is a vitality to the Logos which the second-density physical body has, but which the mind complex of third-density entities most usually disables because of cultural conditioning to the contrary.

Q’uo suggested that one of the best ways that we can aid our planet is to share our love with all of the various second-density plants, flowers, animals and soil. Q’uo made another suggestion that as we share our love with the animals we give them the opportunity to become self conscious and move into the third density where they will learn how to share love with others and make the fourth-density choice of service to others. In general Q’uo recommended that we become aware of the beauty of the natural world around us and view it as like unto a green cathedral where we may recognize the vitality of the Logos in each second-density physical body. In 13.21, Ra referred to how second-density animals become third-density mind/body/spirit complexes:

Questioner: Then how does the second density progress to the third?

Ra: I am Ra. The second density strives towards the third density which is the density of self-consciousness or self-awareness. The striving takes place through the higher second-density forms who are invested by third-density beings with an identity to the extent that they become self-aware mind/body complexes, thus becoming mind/body/spirit complexes and entering third density, the first density of consciousness of spirit.

The Earth wishes to aid. It loves its human entities. It is aware that much negative energy is being stored within the Earth’s crust at this time, yet it is not resentful, but merely rueful that it may be forced to inflict damage upon creatures of third density at some time. This is the natural attitude of one which is nurturing by nature. There is no negative feeling within your planet. That which is negative within your planet are those vibrations which have been placed within it by the thought forms of those which have dwelt upon it. In order to serve those life forms, it would gladly die. May we say that the effect upon the life forms which blew it up would be burdensome in terms of your sense of time.

Here Q’uo spoke of the negative energy that has been stored in the Earth’s crust as thought forms of much of its population, and though there is no negative feelings from our planet because of these negative thought forms, there may come a time in which the planet may be forced to inflict damage upon its third-density population as Ra mentioned in 60.20:

When an entire planetary system of peoples and cultures repeatedly experiences disharmony on a great scale the earth under the feet of these entities shall begin to resonate with this disharmony. Due to the nature of the physical vehicle, disharmony shows up as a blockage of growth or an uncontrolled growth since the primary function of a mind/body/spirit complex’s bodily complex is growth and maintenance. In the case of your planet the purpose of the planet is the maintenance of orbit and the proper location or orientation with regards to other cosmic influences. In order to have this occurring properly the interior of your sphere is hot in your physical terms. Thus instead of uncontrolled growth you begin to experience uncontrolled heat and its expansive consequences.

And these expansive consequences would manifest in the form of volcanoes, earth quakes, and other natural disasters as Q’uo stated on May 3, 1992:

There has long been upon the surface of your planet populations of entities who have engaged in disharmonious relationships even unto the war, and have, through the heat of the emotions, transferred this heat into the crust, as you call it, of the planet itself, so that as the planetary entity attempts to make its own movement from this density of light into the succeeding density of light there is the necessity for the reharmonizing of the planetary garment that will allow for the release of the excessive heat in a variety of means in order that the planetary entity shall remain and retain in its whole nature; that is, shall proceed into the next density of light intact.

Thus, the release in a controlled fashion of heat energy is achieved as those natural, shall we say, catastrophes, as you call them, are experienced in the form of eruptions of volcanoes, the earthquakes, the heating and cooling effects of your geothermal forces, and other forms of the release of energy that will allow for the continual harmonization of this planetary influence as it moves through this period of transition.

We would like to end this discourse on an encouraging note, and we may, we are happy to say. The planet has hit, as far as we can tell, a critical mass for raising planetary consciousness. It has done so through the help of numerous—may we use the word “wanderer”—wanderers, many of whom have chosen the arts, especially the music, to express their views, so that what this instrument would call “USA for Africa” and other such planetary events, days such as your day of forgiveness and your day of peace being planetary events also, these have aided in an exponential fashion the light quality within the planet which you love.

Therefore, the deepest and most profound change that you may make within the planet is that change which you make within yourself, for you may feel that only your feet touch the planet, yet it is your heart which touches the heart of the planet, and the heart of the planet and the heart of the self touch the heart of the great Self, the one Creator, which unifies and is both planet and entities. Thus, if you have the mind full of light, you answer in perfect unison with the planet which is already filled with light, and already, before you have even brought together a group of light-givers to the planet, you have a majority, shall we say, of two: all those upon the planet which may feel your light and yourself.

Now Q’uo said that our planet has been aided by the incarnations of many wanderers who have come to raise the vibrations of the planet and its population through many different ways of sharing the love of the Creator. Q’uo also suggested that if we want to aid our planet in the most helpful way possible that it would be well to open our hearts in love for others and the planet itself because this love will resound to the planet and to the Creator as well. As we change ourselves in the positive sense of service to others we change our planet as well. On April 7, 1991, Q’uo spoke of how we all can aid our planet in its transition into the fourth density:

There are several elements which are producing the noticeable changing of consciousness within all of your planetary cultures at this time. The first is that the living entity upon which you enjoy incarnation, that which you call Mother Earth, and which this instrument calls Grandmother, is cycling and circling along with the entire solar system or galaxy of your star and its planets, moving as an whole into previously uninhabited space/time. This is, indeed, that which is at the heart of the so-called New Age. Not the changes within the entities, but the changes in the environment of these entities.

It is precisely time, within your illusion, for this planet to cycle into a portion of space/time which is more densely populated with what we would call illimitable light or the light of the Creator. This cycle has already begun and the planet is, shall we say, most pregnant with its own birth into this new portion of the space/time illusion which supports the incarnational experiences of all sparks or portions of the Creator which have been outflung into illusion in order to gain in experience and learning and make ever more clear to the Creator the vast and yet simple nature of the Creator.

Thus, to be concerned about weather, catastrophes and other things upon the planet, is to be concerned in a macrocosmic way with that which you should be concerned in a microcosmic way—that is, the death of the self. And what you would do to aid the planet is precisely what you may do to aid the cells of your second-density body. Indeed, there is no density which is not moved by the honest declaration of love, faith and unqualified support. We do not ask you to do this as a duty. We do ask you perhaps to find affirmations in which you believe, and to repeat them often, or simply to tell that earth, tree, bush, flower, plant about you mentally or out loud, “I love you.” Enjoy the sun; enjoy the rain: “You give me pleasure.” Thus do you, in second-density terms, polarize the entity towards personhood.

May each of you place his feet upon the earth and know it to be holy ground. May your heart move in rhythmic consciousness with all that is. May you feel and allow yourselves to be part of an infinite creation which is all one thing. May you seek that All-Consciousness daily in silent meditation, for there in the silence shall be not only the response to this question that is most true for you, but the recognition of all that is truth for you. We ask you to use that discrimination when listening to any words, most of all our own, for we have our opinions, but we are not infallible.

We thank you for calling us to your group, and we thank the one known as H for offering this question, which is an interesting one, and one which allows us perhaps to reverse some of the panic which entities upon your planet feel as they see seemingly irreversible destruction. Fear not. Short of mankind blowing up this particular sphere, this sphere itself shall do whatever is necessary, including major surgery, shall we say, to adjust to new vibrations and to thrive and grow in consciousness, in love and in personhood. May you invest all of nature that you can with its own knowledge of itself. May you love it as it loves you. May you love each other. May you love your bodies.

This channeling was done almost 40 years ago when the causes and effects of global warming were not as well-known as they are today. I would like to share a brief synopsis of the causes and potential cures of global warming that I found on the internet:

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.

The main greenhouse gases that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and cutting down forests can also release carbon dioxide. Agriculture, oil and gas operations are major sources of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main sectors causing greenhouse gases.

If you click on both of the links in this synopsis you will find one deals with the causes of global warming, and the other deals with the cure for global warming. You will need to hold the Ctrl key down as you click on the link.

We find that there is more upon this subject. However, we do also find that this instrument feels that the cosmic sermonette, as she calls it, has proceeded long enough for one night, and we are beginning to respect this instrument’s sense of the local time more than our own, as we have been wrong constantly in gauging the amount of your time our apparently lengthy discourses do take. Please forgive us. At this time we would pause to allow the one known as Jim to retune and when this instrument is in a state in which he feels comfortable, we would invite him to ask for our contact. We will pause until that moment. We are those of Q’uo.

This morning I decided that since we got three quarters of an inch of rain yesterday it was a good time to cut the grass and mulch the leaves that have been falling for some time now. So I used my backpack blower to blow the leaves out of areas where I could not get to them with my big mower.

This afternoon I vacuumed the first floor of the house, and then I went back outside and used my big mower to cut the grass and mulch the leaves at the same time.

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

October 6

Harness The Power Of Consciousness

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

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

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

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

Peace be with you this day and always.

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, 1988:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light through this instrument. It is our privilege at this time to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any queries which may remain upon the minds of those present. We would wish each to know that that which we offer is our opinion, that which is the fruit of our seeking. Please take those words which we speak that ring of truth to you and use them as you will, leaving behind those that do not ring of that truth, leaving them behind without a second glance. Is there a query at this time to which we may speak?

Carla: Could you talk to me about devas, nature spirits?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. This, as you know, is quite a large field of inquiry, and we would not be able to do it justice if we were to attempt in such a short gathering as this to speak extensively. But we may suggest that the entities which you describe as the nature spirits, devas, are those which inhabit your plant and animal kingdom as thickly as your plants and animals themselves, for there are many such spirits which work in conjunction with the natural world about you and serve as a kind of caretaker and communicator between the various forms of second density life and the third-density creatures such as your population of entities upon the surface of your planet at this time.

There are beings in each realm of existence which are responsible for enhancing, shall we say, the communion of the plants and the animals with each other and with the Earth itself. They are such as you would see guides and teachers of your inner planes in their function and relationship to third-density creatures. They inform the various plant and animal life-forms according to these life-forms’ desire to gain a self-conscious awareness which is the hallmark of your third-density population, for all of life moves toward the light and love of the one Creation, and all of life has those helpers or guides which assist in this movement, the assistance being necessary for those who are less aware of that towards which they move, and which, by their desire to move in that direction, call for the assistance of those who answer. In the case of the plant and animal life-forms, those who answer in many cases are those who you would call the nature spirits and the devas.

Carla asked Q’uo to speak about nature spirits and devas. Q’uo said that nature spirits and devas were much like our guides in that they worked with plants and animals in order to help them communicate with each other and to progress on their spiritual journeys into the third density. On April 19, 1981, Latwii revealed how we may communicate with nature spirits and devas:

Remember that not all beings may speak. Therefore you may speak to them, though they speak not to you, yet they hear you. In this manner you may approach the devas, as you call them. These spirits will, to the less sensitive beings, be silent and unseen, yet you shall contact them if you sit in meditation and speak with them upon reaching the appropriate state, universal love and respect, of which you have spoken. In time, you may find that due to your faith you will be able to feel, hear or see these spirits. They will, in any case, respond to you and cooperate more and more, as you hope.

Is there another query?

Carla: I just wondered as to their nature. Are they second-density graduates that have chosen to turn back and help their brothers and sisters until they can all graduate into our density of humanity? Or do they come from elsewhere? Are they third-density graduates who have decided to turn back and help second density?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The origin of these entities is one which is somewhat difficult to describe in your terms, but we feel that the concept of…

[Side one of tape ends.]

Carla wanted to know what kind of life nature spirits and devas were. Since Q’uo’s answer was lost due to the tape ending I will share a quote from March 4, 1979, where Latwii gave a brief description of their nature:

Thus, the dimensions directly involved with your Earth plane, which are invisible to you, are those which give the sphere of energy, which you call your planet, its life. Elves, gnomes, fairies, devas and spirits of all kinds are the elemental forms which govern the growth, the health, and the life of such things as rocks, flowers, trees, grasses and animal life.

Carla: I appreciate that information, Q’uo, because I’m working with someone for the first time who wants to work with nature spirits, and I’d like to feel more familiar with their nature so that I may help her further. Thank you.

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

J: Q’uo, I have a question I’m trying to formulate in my mind so that it makes sense to you. The question I have is regarding that comment on muses, and do I understand you correctly that in our channeling or in our quest for self-knowledge we respond to your call of the muse?

I am Q’uo, and in regards to your query, my sister, we would suggest that our use of the term, muse, in relation to the seeker of truth and the means by which the seeking is carried out, refers to that quality or perhaps cluster of qualities within the seeker which speaks with a special power and glory, shall we say, for each seeker will discover within the self as the journey of seeking progresses that there are certain avenues of inquiry that hold a special interest, and others which hold that interest not so long or so intensely.

Thus, as this is discovered by each seeker, the seeker may be said to hearken to the voice of the inner muse. The poet hearkens to the use of words to express greater concepts than words themselves contain. The artist looks upon the canvas and the palette as the grounds upon which it shall express the song of the inner muse. The muse for each seeker is that voice which speaks most clearly of truth, and each seeker then, as this is discovered, may follow that voice and hearken to its speaking in order that more of the truth of its existence, purpose, and means of expression might be made known to it.

J wanted to know if in the channeling or the calling for self-knowledge we are responding to Q’uo’s concept of the muse. Q’uo said that whether we are a poet, an artist, a musician or a channel we all have the inner voice of inspiration that helps us with our life’s work, and this is the inner muse. On November 16, 2006, Q’uo said that we all have a muse within us for inspiration:

We would ask you to trust and to know that you do indeed have a muse and that muse is focused entirely upon supporting, encouraging and inspiring you. What is the shape of that muse, my brother? What name shall you call the source of your inspiration? What helper have you yearned for from the beginning? Name it. Claim it. Use it. For us to name that guidance and that inspiration for you would be utterly fruitless. This is your active process and we wish you happy hunting!

Is there another query, my sister?

J: Yes. Thank you. That really explains what I wanted to know. Further, you had made mention that some areas of interest are more prone to drawing those who wish to dim the light, and others are not. Is my understanding of that correct?

I am Q’uo. This is basically correct, my sister, for as any seeker or group of seekers becomes more efficient, shall we say, at seeking and radiating the light of the one Creator, this light is seen as a power on the metaphysical or time/space levels of existence, and it is within these levels of existence that other beings of thought [and] power move and are attracted to the light. The negative entities are attracted to such light because it is a spiritual kind of power that they wish to utilize for their own purposes in service to self. Thus, their means of utilizing that light for their own uses is seen by those radiating and seeking that light in an efficient manner as the dimming of the light, for it is removed, shall we say, from whence it sprung.

J asked if there some areas of a seeker’s interest that would attract entities that would like to dim that light. Q’uo agreed that when seekers produce more light on their spiritual journeys the negative entities are likely to attempt to take that light for their own uses. On January 24, 2009,Q’uo described the inevitable failure of negative entities to put out light:

Consequently, the service-to-self path is a path steeped in illusion and lies. For it is only by denying the truth of light that darkness can prevail. In the end, darkness never prevails. For it cannot put out the light, as the light can and does at last illumine every corner of existence. The eventual ascendancy of light is inevitable.

May we speak further, my sister?

J: Yes, I do have another question, and again, I need to have a few seconds to formulate it.

Carla: I’ll take that time just to say that isn’t what you meant more or less that if you were a plumber, you might be following a muse of copper or something, but you’re not going to be attracting negatives, because you’re not polarizing positive, you’re just putting in pipe. Isn’t that what you meant, Q’uo?

I am Q’uo. This is correct, my sister, for the endeavor of the seeker of truth is that which increases the polarity or the ability of that entity to welcome and enjoy the love and the light which is a power of the one Creator. Just as your battery within your automobile is able to function because of the potential difference between the positive and the negative charge, so is the seeker of truth able to do work in consciousness according to its ability to polarize itself in the positive, or service-to-others fashion, in an effective manner.

When this has been accomplished to a significant enough degree, that polarization is as a light and a source of energy or power which might be utilized by that seeker for further service to others and further journeying upon the path of service to others itself. Or the light may be used by those of negative polarity if they are successful in infringing upon this power through means not of their own design, but of openings or invitations, shall we say, on the part of the positive seeker of truth which has perhaps for a moment unwittingly or unthinkingly moved itself away from the truth it knows and entered into a disharmony which is as the opening of an invitation for the negative entity to intensify to the degree that it will perhaps be able to dim the light for a time and use that power for itself, as it has removed the light from the service of others.

Carla asked if what Q’uo meant to say was that you have to be working to polarize your consciousness in a positive sense in order to attract the attention of negative entities. Q’uo agreed and said that the positive seeker can make an opening for negative entities to take this polarized light from the seeker if the seeker creates an opening within its being through a disharmonious behavior. In 57.2-.3, Ra gave this as the basis of psychic attacks by negative entities:

Questioner: Is there anything in particular that we can do in addition to what we are doing to alleviate this attack?

Ra: I am Ra. There is nothing you can do to alleviate the attack. The understanding of its mechanism might be of aid.

Questioner: Could you tell us its mechanism?

Ra: I am Ra. The Orion group cannot interfere directly but only through pre-existing distortions of mind/body/spirit complexes.

When we have opened ourselves to such psychic attacks, Ra gave us the process to respond to psychic attacks in 44.10:

Questioner: This is very revealing to us. Thank you. Each of us gets the signals and dreams. I have been aware of clairaudient communication at least once in waking up. Can you suggest a method whereby we might, shall I say, nullify the effect of the influence that we don’t want from a negative source?

Ra: I am Ra. There are various methods. We shall offer the most available or simple. To share the difficult contact with the other-selves associated with this working and to meditate in love for these senders of images and light for self and other-selves is the most available means of nullifying the effects of such occurrences. To downgrade these experiences by the use of intellect or the disciplines of will is to invite the prolonging of the effects. Far better then to share in trust such experiences and join hearts and souls in love and light with compassion for the sender and armor for the self.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: I turn it back to J. Thank you.

J: Okay. Given that there is increased popularity, if you will, of channeling, unless this activity is carefully taught, it seems like the potential for negative energy to see the light, to be attracted to it, and to divert it, to dim it, it seems like that probability is increased. How would you suggest that we prevent that kind of thing happening?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my sister. To each entity which engages in the process of offering its service to others in any fashion which is successful, there shall be the temptations offered which serve as a balancing mechanism in order that the entity which has manifested the desire to be of service to others might be offered an equal temptation to move from that service and to join the negative path in some fashion within the life pattern for some period of time. This may be seen also as an opportunity for that same entity to strengthen its desire to serve others and to move ever more faithfully upon that path as the temptations to glorify the self or to gain a power and recognition for the self are recognized and refused.

As the one known as Jesus the Christ experienced the temptations of the one known as Satan, as the one known as Jesus spent the forty days and nights in the desert, demanded that the one known as Satan get behind him, each seeker of truth will find that as progress along the path is made, that there are those opportunities to test the progress that it be true, and if there be a weakness in that seeker’s pattern of expression of service to others, those weaknesses or lesser areas of strength shall be made known to it through the difficulties, shall we say, that are a natural portion of this path, and through recognizing those areas which lack strength, the seeker of truth then may repair these areas and gratefully acknowledge their presence to any entity which has aided in pointing them out.

Thus, we do not offer the information concerning negative entities and their offering of temptations to positive entities as that which is to be feared, but that which is a normal part of the evolutionary progress within your illusion, in order that the progress of each path, both positive and negative, might through their interaction strengthen the other, in order that the one Creator might through these experiences know Itself more fully and each entity within the creation, through these experiences, might know itself more fully and the one Creator more fully and more intensely.

J asked how those who learn to channel could keep negative entities from dimming their light. Q’uo suggested that each seeker who is successful at any kind of polarized service may use any temptations away from the purity of its service such as self aggrandizement or gaining personal power to become stronger in any such weak areas of its service. Q’uo went on to say that the interaction between positive and negative entities in this fashion gives the Creator more chances to know Itself better and each seeker to know itself better. On November 7, 1982, Latwii described how the temptations may be offered to the positive entities:

The reason for such modesty, shall we say, is that free will must be maintained. Many entities begin to receive a positive contact of Confederation origin and then attract the temptations of negative entities as a balance. When such entities are unaware of the necessity for maintaining what you have called the tuning in the positive sense, and fall prey to the temptations to glorify the self or the organization in any way, then the inroads might be made by the negative entities in polluting the contact.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

J: I have no further questions, but so I can understand this—as being an opportunity to strengthen faith, is that correct? That’s a question—I said I wasn’t going to ask a question, but I lied.

I am Q’uo, and this is quite correct, my sister. Is there another query?

J: No. Thank you very much.

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

Carla: Just to follow up on that. From previous channeled information, isn’t it also true that the negative path eventually ends, and must turn to a positive path, so that in the end, there is only one path, it’s just that there is a split for a while during this illusion and perhaps the next?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my sister, for just as the creation itself and every portion of it shall eventually return to the complete unity of the one Creator, bringing all the experiences that have been gathered during the great octave of being as seeds for the next great octave of being, so those entities of negative polarity shall at some point within their evolutionary progress find the necessity of releasing the negative polarity and adopting that which is the positive polarity, for it is the positive polarity which, though it partakes of illusion and separation in some degree, seeks to affirm the unity of all creation and the divinity of all beings, and seeks to serve all beings as the Creator, whereas the negative polarity is based upon that which is not, that being the separation of one being from another, which lays the groundwork, shall we say, for the potential ruling of one being over another and over others.

As the negative entities continue to pursue this path of separation and control, at some point in order to continue in the process of evolution and to know more of the Creator and to exercise the power of the Creator, it becomes necessary to see other selves as the Creator and as the self. This is not difficult for the positive polarity, but is difficult for the negative polarity that the negative polarity must be abandoned and the power that has been gained from it be used to reverse, shall we say, the polarity in order that continued evolution be possible.

Carla asked Q’uo if it was true that at some point the negative entities will have to give up their path and join the positive path so that then there is only one path. Q’uo agreed that at some point the negative entities will need to be able to see other entities as the Creator and as the self and become positively polarized. Ra spoke to this process in 78.25:

In sixth density, the density of unity, the positive and negative paths must needs take in each other for all now must be seen as love/light and light/love. This is not difficult for the positive polarity, which sends love and light to all other-selves. It is difficult enough for service-to-self polarized entities that at some point the negative polarity is abandoned.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you very much.

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

Questioner: Oh, that’s a necessary function of this creation, obviously, and an exercise of polarity by those entities of the negative. They perform a function for the positive polarity by being in service to self. They also become in service to others and we of the positive polarity are witness to that and thereby experience both biases. I’m not sure what my question is. I guess what I’m trying to find out is, that’s an integral part of what’s going on here, and it sometimes is hard to feel the separation from those negative entities, knowing that they are part of the creation, part of what we all are, knowing that we all fall within that creation.

I as Q’uo, and we would comment upon your comment by suggesting that indeed all entities, whether of positive or negative or of no polarity, are a portion of the same creation and the same Creator, and that the most effective means for a positively oriented entity to deal with negative polarity is to generate within the heart the overwhelming love for such an entity, and to send that love to that entity in the meditative state if possible, and to bathe that entity in the love and the light of the one Creator as you perceive it.

For all beings are truly a portion of the Creator and of the self, and as the seeker of truth looks within to find that of truth within itself, any experience or entity that it comes upon in its journey of seeking will reflect some portion of inner truth to it, and as the seeker is able to draw unto itself all expressions of the Creator and to see them as the Creator, as the self, and as love, then so they become that which they are, and no longer are that which they seem. The persona, the mask, is removed and for that seeker of truth, that seeker stands before the mirror which looks into its own soul and the heart of the Creator.

Is there a final query at this time?

J: I do have a question, and this is regarding the scenario where the negative polarity eventually makes a shift to positive polarity—I don’t know if I’m saying that correctly. It’s what Carla was talking about to you in her previous question, where the negative eventually seeks the positive. My question is, is this a scenario that we’re witnessing on the Earth at this time, where there seems to be an accumulation of negative polarity, and that negative polarity wishes to make a shift? Has that occurred on the Earth, and has there been a call for light coming from the Earth? Or has it come from somewhere else? Is the positive polarity reaching out to the Earth? I guess I’m trying to find where the initial recognition was made, of the need for light. Was it from those who are of the light? Or from those who have negative polarity?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The call for light has long emanated from those within this planetary influence who have chosen for themselves the service-to-others polarity. This choice and the following of this choice is likened unto a call for assistance in journeying upon this path, as any student which seeks to learn any art will learn more efficiently from a teacher. Many are the ways in which the student of positive polarity is taught. Most means are unseen and go unrecognized in the life of the seeker of truth in the positive sense: the many coincidences and pleasant surprises, shall we say, which occur in the life pattern, the dreams of a prophetic or informative nature, the meeting of an entity that changes the life, the experience that appears seemingly out of the blue, and forever marks the life pattern with a note of joy. These are the means by which the call for assistance is answered—and there are many more.

The expression of the mass consciousness upon your planetary sphere, moving in a more positive direction, is far more a function of those upon your planet who have chosen ever more faithfully and steadfastly to continue their seeking for light and service to others rather than any shift in negative entities’ desires, for the desire of those [of] negative polarity exists far past the evolutionary progress which your planet has thus far achieved.

The negative polarity is one which exists with great strength into the fourth density of love, and into the fifth density, the density of wisdom. It is beyond that expression of wisdom and light into the sixth density, where love and wisdom are joined and blended into one, where the negative polarity must needs abandon the service-to-self polarity and shift its focus to that which is the service to others in order to continue the progress of seeking union with the one Creator.

J asked if there was then a shift beginning on Earth where the negatively oriented entities were shifting into the positive side as more positive light seemed to be coming to the Earth. She wanted to know if this was happening and where the positive light was coming from. Q’uo said that for many years positive seekers of truth have been calling for the light and experiencing the synchronicities that affirm the life experience such a prophetic dreams, meeting the right person at the right time, the right book and many other confirmations of the rightness of the seeker of truth’s path. On April 27, 2006, Q’uo spoke of these fourth-density energies that are more apparent as time goes on:

These fourth-density energies are heavily interpenetrating third-density Earth as you know it at this time. The fourth-density energy is unseen, yet its effects are felt by those with a sensitivity to finer and subtler energies that enables them to pick up on these new vibrations.

At this time we shall again take the opportunity to thank each present which has invited our presence in joining your group and in sharing that which has been the fruit of our seeking. It is a source of great joy for us to sing with each seeker the song of seeking, the song of love, the song of the one Creator, experiencing the great mysteries, adventures and joys of the creation all about. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and at this time we shall leave each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I used my backpack blower to blow all of the leaves from in front of the house into the parking area on the street, and then I put them in the garbage cans that the yard waste fellow emptied this morning and which were already in this area. Then I ran three errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought more bird seed. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Hometown Pizza where I picked up a pizza which I enjoyed for lunch.

This afternoon I made a trip to Gaddie’s Eye Center to have a screw replaced which had come out causing my left lens to come loose as well. It began raining as I was driving, and it is still raining now. A true blessing for my gardens from Mother Nature!

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

October 5

The Sense Of Inner Blankness

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

When the world seems to make no sense, when the skies are blank of being and the landscape bare of meaningful detail for you, then it is time to turn inward and avoid the distraction of the self in meaningless pursuit.

If there is only a small amount of time to be spent inward turned, it is enough. For the sense of inner blankness is the sense of being lost from the self, not of being lost from the world.

To find the self, one must turn to the Christ within and ask that the great story of selfhood be expressed in yet another way, that you may understand your nature and your birthright and know who you are: sons and daughters of the divine; those who give meaning to sky and earth.

In your troubled spirits lies the dance of the present. May you be at peace within your trouble as you turn within to Christ. In that peace we leave you, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from August 2, 1988:

The value of channeling and such information considering the difficulties that any group can run into with the temptations offered by negative entities to deviate from the original purpose of the channeling, and the general value of channeled information for any seeker of truth, considering all the other sources of information that are available, what is the value of channeling, how should one weigh it in one’s total gathering of information?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo. I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great privilege and a blessing to us to be able to share our thoughts with you, to experience the beauty of your vibrations and to share in your meditation. Because we find we speak not only to this group but to a larger audience, we would also bless and send our love to each who may see or hear these words, for we come in service not to one, nor to a special group, but to those who call for aid in seeking the truth.

We ourselves seek the truth. This is our journey, a journey we have found to be full of joy, love, companionship and power. We may also say we have found the past to be one of many ordeals, one of long discomfort, from time to time, as you would say, challenge and difficulty. Such is the nature of the illusion that you call life, whether or not the choice to seek accelerated spiritual growth is taken. However, with the accelerated spiritual growth that comes through a daily practice of meditation and an honest attempt at service to others, comes growth and change. And there is no change that is not painful to those within material forms.

And so we speak from a standpoint of joy, gazing at an illusion in which such suffering must take place in order that the lessons of love might be learned, for love is another way of saying the Creator, not a weak love or a romantic love, a family love, a national love, or a world love, but a love that is so creative it has often been described in terms of fire and passion, a divine passion to conceive a world that would speak to the Creator of Itself. And so each of you dwells within this illusion of life upon your planet, experiencing each other while the Creator experiences all. Each of you, then, is infinitely precious to the Creator who loved enough to create you and all that there is.

This loving Creator has given to all within each density of existence that which is called free will, and therefore one may choose to sleep and enjoy the illusion, thinking not of what is beyond, but enjoying the beautiful planet, the companionship of friends and family. This is quite acceptable, for progress will still take place spiritually—it merely is at a slower pace than some would prefer. We speak to those who would prefer to accelerate the pace of their spiritual growth.

Your question at this meeting concerned channeling. There are many difficulties involved in learning. It is time-consuming, and much experience is often needed in order that one may become a clear channel, a channel which may choose carefully its contact, a channel which may find apt expression and do justice to the concepts arising from the combination of that which we are and that which the channel is. And we would speak first in general of the very nature of the illusion which you now enjoy.

You may have noticed, those of you who seek to serve others, how very difficult it is to serve others, for to serve others truly is to know that which they would desire or require and to give them that which they desire or require without question. This is difficult service to perform. Nevertheless, the instinct for service to others is a sign of wholeness within each who feels it, a sign that a choice has been made, the basic choice that this entire illusion was designed for each seeker to have the opportunity to make. Shall you choose to serve yourself, be numero uno and follow those false images of the self which your culture would give you to wear as masks? Very well. We are with you in love and light and honor you as perfect beings. Do you choose instead to surrender that small self, that self of ambition, greed and hunger, to empty the self of petty things, that instead a greater self may assist your consciousness in more rapid growth and service to others? Very well. That is why we are here, that is why many are here—to help those who do wish to progress.

It is in this context, the knowledge of suffering in general, the knowledge of the difficulty of service to others, that we address the matter of channeling. Channeling is one of many, many ways of service to others. It is a way of engaging the highest and best within the channel in a collaboration with a deeply impersonal source of love, which we are, that has what we may call the larger point of view. We, as contact, and this instrument are equal partners, respecting each other, experiencing a growing friendship with each other and a respect for each other that cannot be underestimated. This channel is most careful to challenge all spirits, and we are most thrilled that this channel is so inclined, for our service is that which could easily be missed, for there are always those who do not come in service to others, who would wish to take the new channel and move that channel away from the highest and best tuning that is in that channel, the goal being to dim the light of channeling, seeking and the group sociability that adds so very such to the light network upon planet Earth.

The group question was concerning channeling: how to deal with negative entities who might want to channel through a positive instrument, the general value of channeling, and how one might use it in the personal path of evolution. Q’uo began with a description of our world as containing both those who wish to serve others and those who wish to serve only the self. Of course these are the two choices of our third density illusion, and they are also found within the higher densities as well. With this in mind, Q’uo spoke of their gratitude that Carla used the process of the challenging of spirits to be sure she had positive entities on the line. On March 25, 1989, Latwii gave a good description of the process of the challenging of spirits:

We find that you are familiar with the concepts of the challenging of the spirits by the name or concept of that which you hold most dear and that which is the central sun around which your desire orbits in order that you might be of service to others. The challenging of spirits is most centrally necessary at each opportunity that you take to serve as a vocal instrument. It is also quite necessary before each such session to prepare oneself in such a fashion as would be analogous to placing the dial of your radio squarely upon the station that you wish to receive. This we have found this group calls the tuning of the instrument. By this procedure, whether it be by the singing of the sacred music, the visualizing of light, the reading of those inspirational words of meaning to you and to your group, or by whatever means has significance to you, is necessary in order that your desire during the channeling process be only that to serve others and to serve to the fullest of your ability while serving as a vocal instrument.

When these precautions are properly taken, there is little chance that entities of a negatively oriented nature may influence one’s efforts, for the light that one generates by these efforts of tuning the instrument and challenging spirits is that light which shows the truth to those about one and reflects it back to those who would seek to disrupt those efforts that you offer in service to others.

How difficult it is to be of service, my friends. How difficult it is to share without pushing your opinions upon someone else, without moving from inspiration to doctrine. Yet, this is the hallmark of channeled material. This is our service to you, to attempt to provide information and inspiration, not that of which is wise, but that of which is compassionate, loving and serving. We speak of the one original Thought to those who would wish to hear of that great Logos called Love, that one original Thought that made in unity all that there is so that you are members, one of another, and all of the Creator.

Why would any who wishes to be of service to others choose a sacrificial way of giving? In the beginning many things seem like sacrifice. When a mated pair has a child, the father sacrifices his freedom. He must provide now for a small and fragile entity, a stranger, so he thinks. And what of the mother? Ah, what freedom she loses, what sacrifices she makes, yet the joy of knowing, loving and sending forth into the world a small being is so far from describable that it would make most parents laugh, for the joy they have received is inestimable.

So it is, in a different sense, with the channeling. There is in the beginning the sacrifice, and always the need for continued faithfulness and persistence, the need to move in meditation enough to gain that infinite point of view, that infinite source of supply that enables the giver to give without tiring.

Can channeling help people? My friends, we believe that the answer is yes, or we would not be here. We believe that each who wishes to learn to channel is an unique being, has an unique vocabulary, experiences, and way of thinking. We have one very simple message to offer—the message of unity, of perfect compassion and love which brooks no judgment, of the reality of peace and joy that is intertwined within the illusion and transcends the illusion also. We urge people in our channeling first to move into meditation and experience peace, quiet and love until, through meditation, the seeker has become ready to feel well about the self and move on into service to others. There is the beginning turning inward, and we who channel attempt to support that and encourage the daily meditation, the contemplation, the talking with those of like mind, the rejoicing in companions upon the path.

When much work has been done to ready the self, when the work is over and all feels easy, then it shall come naturally to each to do some service, or perhaps a cluster of services. The service may be the raising of children, and to the mother, the muse of Mary speaks. There are some who are called to the musical instruments or to the dance or to some other artifact of your culture which creates beauty and myth and wonder for those who see it, and they sing or dance or move to their muse. There are some few who will feel the call to the special kind of muse, an odd, rather philosophical kind of muse, not one given a name among your peoples. Shall we call it the philosopher muse? At any rate, some are called to learn to share in a collaboration that is intended both to inspire and to inform. And so the choice is made, a teacher is chosen, and a program is undertaken.

Since the program of learning to channel includes much work in consciousness, clearing lower energies, working with the identity of the authentic and deep self, this process is helpful for those who wish to channel healing or other energies, not merely the vocal channeling. It is always to be remembered, however, that once the training is done, and the vocal channel moves out into the world, there will always be those to whom the material appeals and those to whom it does not. As we have said, service to others is difficult, and it is well to leave any attachment to that work which the channel is doing behind. It has no place in service.

Then Q’uo mentioned that there are many ways in which seekers may be of service to others such as being parents, singers, musicians, or channels, and each type of service requires sacrifice and dedication. In each area of endeavor to serve others, when the work is done to prepare the self to serve, then the service becomes easier. Q’uo suggested that for the one who wishes to serve others as a channel the work is the use of meditation to feel peace, quiet, and love. In this process Q’uo said that there is also work in consciousness that is necessary in clearing the lower energy centers so that contact with the authentic deeper self is made in order to receive channeled messages. On June 15, 1990, Q’uo explained the value of the lower energy centers:

The higher energy centers receive their ability to do their work because of a full and loving open heart. And each who chooses to communicate or to work in consciousness is working with the green-ray energy that is its resource. The greatest mistake that seekers make is to attempt to do the higher work in consciousness without, in due patience, doing the thorough work in the lower energy centers. For each is as important as the other. All together make the body of energies that creates the energy complex of each spirit.

However, there are two great aids that you as a channel may offer. Firstly there is that aid which any which seeks the aid of the infinite Creator may offer and that is that in the becoming a more and more consciously directed authentic human, each seeker becomes a light that glows brighter and brighter. Those who move into a group about a channel form this kind of light in an exponential manner, the strength of the light being far more than a linear addition of the people in the group could hope to create. Thus, by the simple attempt to channel, the planet has become lighter, the consciousness of the planet has been raised and the great work is being done.

Secondly, to the instrument itself this service satisfies that desire to be of aid, to be worthwhile, and to be active and caring in the world of spirit. It is an invisible world, and there are many, as we have said, who care not at all for it. Yet for those who do care for the inner world, the outer world is gazed upon with some dismay, and there is the desire to help. For those whose desire is to help by aiding the environment, for those whose desire to help is expressed in political or other social manners we say, “Know yourself and know your muse, whether it be justice, honor, beauty or fairness,” and then ask yourself what relation this muse bears to truth.

Truth is what we are here to discuss, to discover, to rejoice at, and to dwell in. Not a truth that can be expressed in words or with the mind, but a feeling tone of truth, a validity of things that begins to be created within each person. Truth is not without you. Without you is a relativistic illusion. Truth lies within you. We who channel to instruments such as this hope to put these thoughts within the mind in order that each may attempt to grow, and at the same time, each may see that all so-called failures and errors are part of the path and are those things to be hugged to the self, accepted, forgiven, and from which it [is] time to move on.

Do you wish to be of service by channeling? By teaching? By offering the self in the deepest way that is important to you, that is the essence of yourself? We encourage you to the ordeal, for no matter what you give to others—and you cannot judge that—you shall daily be working upon that self which in its being is love itself. It may seem selfish to continue working upon self-realization, to continue working until the self feels entirely self-worthy, self-forgiven and self-esteemed. Yet, must you not love yourself to love your neighbor enough to give all that you have sacrificially, that that neighbor, that perfect stranger, that face of the Creator which is another part of yourself—to give to this entity is surely a wonder and a blessing. And yet that entity shall give back to you more than you give away, so the end of the suffering is always joy.

Q’uo said that to become a channel it is well to continue our spiritual paths to become the best we can become as seekers and then to join with others of like mind in groups to expand the light that we have to share. They suggested that if we wish to serve others through channeling we must be ready to suffer the ordeal of life, of learning the nature of the illusion of third density that surrounds us, and the truth of the Creator that lives within us and within all. We must also learn to love ourselves when we fall short of our goals if we are to be able to love others. On February 24, 1987, Laitos described the value of learning to love our selves:

I am Laitos, and we might comment by suggesting the perception which you have shared is in its own way relatively accurate. Although there is another way of perceiving the lack of love for self which we would suggest at this time as a method, or portion of a method, for finding greater and greater love, and by so loving the self, becoming more and more able to love other selves about one which reflect to one the nature of the self. And that perception is that the lack of love for self may be seen as a means of preparing the self for greater service. As one becomes aware of the lack of love and acceptance of the self, and turns to work upon that quality, one begins to build a stronger framework of the heart of self, and through the strengthening of the core perceptions of and feelings for the self, so is laid a firmer foundation for services that may then be offered to others.

Now, we know there have been many who have had the psychic greeting of what this instrument would call the loyal opposition, those who serve in love and light to the infinite Creator, but on a negative path, those who wish to dim and remove the light upon this planet. We encourage each to love and offer up the incense of your prayers for your brethren upon the negative path, feeling no fear, but asking them clearly and firmly to be gone, or if they are stubborn, working within the self to open the self to the realization that each self is all that there is, and that that negativity without is merely a part of the negativity within.

In such a way does love indeed conquer all, yet it must be true love, true service and a true feeling of unity. We do not underestimate any of the negative parts of being of service to others through vocal channeling, yet it is our humble opinion that to attempt to teach the laws, shall we say, of love is an attempt eternally blessed, eternally gratefully received by a world hungry for inspiration, and certainly one excellent way of sharing all those experiences which have combined to make you the gem-like faceted, crystallized soul that you are, for in channeling the instrument shares deeply of the self in a way not usually available within your culture.

Q’uo suggested that if we ever experience psychic greetings from negative entities that we send them love them and remember them in our prayers while asking them to be gone from our work of channeling. In 44.10, Ra gave us a means by which to express love for our negative friends which would also remove them from our experience:

Questioner: This is very revealing to us. Thank you. Each of us gets the signals and dreams. I have been aware of clairaudient communication at least once in waking up. Can you suggest a method whereby we might, shall I say, nullify the effect of the influence that we don’t want from a negative source?

Ra: I am Ra. There are various methods. We shall offer the most available or simple. To share the difficult contact with the other-selves associated with this working and to meditate in love for these senders of images and light for self and other-selves is the most available means of nullifying the effects of such occurrences. To downgrade these experiences by the use of intellect or the disciplines of will is to invite the prolonging of the effects. Far better then to share in trust such experiences and join hearts and souls in love and light with compassion for the sender and armor for the self.

We do not urge all to take up channeling. We urge entities who seek to serve to take that desire into meditation and await an answer, a leading, a synchronistic coincidence, something that subjectively tells or calls to the seeker. If that call is to vocal channeling, we most gratefully accept you. If that call is to another service, yet still as we love all upon your planet, we love and support you in your service, whatever it may be. We may indeed acknowledge that there are many muses which do not have the psychic greeting component as part of the long term aspect of doing this particular work, however, we believe you will find that all who are of genuine service to others make great sacrifices of the personal self, and we urge each when that ordeal comes upon them to embrace change, to allow the little self to die as it will, knowing and trusting that the greater self that fills that hollow is a blessing, a wonder, a joy and in itself a service to others, for as the conscious entity opens its eyes, the love of God shines through. As the conscious entity holds out the hand, the Creator touches man to man, person to person, in intimate caring that the Father cannot effect in and of Itself.

Yours is the manifestation, yours the experience now. Now is your time to choose. Choose first whether to serve yourself or others. Move into the period of meditation, urge your mate to move into it with you, that you may change and grow together, and in a month, a year, ten years, in the time of your heart, in the time of the Creator, the need to serve will come upon you and it will be joy as well as work, and your work will become your joy and your joy your work.

We bless each, we welcome each who come to us as vocal channels. We bless all who do not but who seek to serve the infinite Creator, all of you in your own unique ways. May you be faithful and persistent in your seeking, single-hearted in your desire to know the mystery of the infinite Creator, and above all may you love each other and attempt to serve each other, for as you do so, you shall enter what this instrument would call the Kingdom of Heaven.

Yes, my friends, the Kingdom of Heaven lies within you. Offer yourself sacrificially when your time has come, and you will not feel the pain, but only the joy, a joy without end, for you dwell in eternity when you seek to serve. May you always be merry, my friends, for the seekers upon the path must laugh, must make the jokes, must have the light touch. Do not be solemn in your seeking, or flail yourself with the sackcloth and ashes, but keep yourself self-forgiven and open yourself to the utter redemptive perfection of the infinite Creator’s love.

It has truly been a blessing to speak with you. We cannot express our thanks enough that you would call us to you. May we allow you to know that we shall always hear each call, not that we would speak to each, but that we would act as a carrier wave in the deepening of the meditation. You have only mentally to request that service, and those of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator shall hear each entity receiving the Comforter within its vibratory pattern.

We thank this instrument, and would at this time transfer to close the meeting through the one known as Jim. I am Q’uo.

This morning I had a very brief and successful dental surgery to remove a sore from above my gum line. Then I got a call from Bachman Subaru to tell me that my 2005 Outback Subaru was ready to be picked up. So I made one last trip in the Subaru Soletta, an electric car, that I finally figured out how to drive.

This afternoon I painted the steps to the deck in back of the house, and then I blew the Tulip Poplar leaves outside of the living room into a pile and put them into six garbage cans for yard waste pickup tomorrow.

The One Sea Of Love

Greetings in the love of Jesus the Christ. We are of the consciousness of love in the vibration which comforts this channel.

We encourage you to rejoice, one with another, for all your seeming differences are but shadows. The one who calls upon the Allah, the Zoroaster, the Christ or the Buddha, calls not to separate oceans, but to one great sea of love. All differences are structures created by the perceptions of dreamers. And yet all shall awaken. And as you rejoice then, so may you rejoice now in the promise of awakening.

Peace be with you.

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 June 28, 1988:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and light. At this time it is our honor to offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to those queries which may be upon the minds. We remind each that our words are but the fruits of our own seeking and are our opinions, and we do not wish any to take our opinions as the absolute truth, but that gift which brothers and sisters in seeking give to those who follow upon the same path for their consideration in the further journeying upon that path. Is there a question at this time with which we may begin?

T: Yes, I have a question. If two people set out on a relationship, and it seems in the beginning that the relationship has a very high probability of either failure or at least a whole lot of very hard times associated with it, but that there’s one or two good things that could come from it, is it usually advisable to go ahead and set out on that relationship, that marriage, or that whatever, whatever the relationship is, knowing full well that there’s going to be a lot of really negative things to come from it? I guess what I’m saying is, is it worth it for the good that comes out of it, to create some additional negativity or some additional problem?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would begin by suggesting that even to the eye in what seems to be an obvious and clear manner, much is hidden within your illusion, for within your experience there is the shielding, shall we say, of the conscious knowing so that much experience is gained in groping through what you might call a metaphysical darkness. You live and move and have your being in mystery, and you seek portions of that mystery with every thought and action that proceeds from your being. With each thought and action that sums into experience, you are able to piece together more and more of the picture of the creation about you and your place within it. As you move into those relationships which are of primary and profound significance within this journey of seeking, there is much which the conscious mind will assume and presume to know. Yet, if decisions are made only in regards to what may be known in the mental sense of the conscious mind, then much will be missing that can serve as resource…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We shall continue.

The subconscious mind, then, through the faculty of intuition may offer much to one who seeks—the manner by which it shall continue its journey and with whom it shall journey and in what manner the journey shall be accomplished. We cannot tell you, my brother, or any particular entity, whether what seems to be the truth is that which should be heeded, for, indeed, even the most difficult of situations oftimes presents the greatest of opportunities for learning in the metaphysical sense, even though within the boundaries and definitions of your illusion the relationship and the experiences within it have proven most difficult. It cannot be known before or during such experience what treasures are, indeed, gathered in the metaphysical sense. The entire incarnation then partakes of mystery which shall become clear to the far-seeing eye only after the doors of what you call the physical death have been passed through and the veil dropped which shields the conscious mind from the subconscious mind and the greater portion of the experience about one.

T asked if in the beginning of a relationship it is obvious that some potential exists for there being some real difficulties to be experienced, but it is also obvious that one or two good things will ensure, is it a good idea to go ahead and enter into the relationship. Q’uo began their response by saying that in the third-density illusion very little of the true nature of our experience is obvious to our perceptions. All of our experiences are in pursuit of mystery, and we are groping in the darkness. Only continued traveling of our life paths will produce that which we can feel that we know with relative surety. Q’uo went on to say that the intuition of our subconscious mind can give us a better idea of the nature of our experience, but they also suggested that some of our greatest metaphysical learning will occur by the processing of difficult catalyst. Only when we pass from this illusion and the veil of forgetting will we see the true nature of our life path. On March 19, 2011, Q’uo gave us some insight into the true nature of our experiences:

There are many who are not satisfied with their circumstances. We do not speak here of money or power or influence or comfort, but rather that hunger and thirst for a better way, for the truth, for awareness of the self, of the Creator, of the true nature of experience. There are many who realize that they cannot trust all that they think, much less all that they are told. They seek to have a more direct avenue of communication with the sacred. Their hunger and their thirst are for those things which the world cannot give them, no matter how hard the world may try.

It is to those who wish to move closer to the truth and to live more self-realized lives that the techniques for acceleration of evolution are useful. We would not dream of suggesting to people that it is unsatisfactory for them to be as they are. Each entity is perfect as he or she is.

May we speak further, my brother?

T: No, I believe that pretty such sums it up, even though a lot people have gotten themselves into some hard situations by following their heart rather than what their logical mind told them. I understand what you’re saying. Thank you very much.

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

G: Yes. I have one to ask you. What the value is of using crystals and sound on the spiritual path?

I am Q’uo, and we find that the objects of which you speak and the qualities of vibration which are embodied within the sound vibratory complexes may be used to enhance the finer portions of the spiritual journey in order that the inner eye may perceive with greater clarity the countryside, shall we say, through which the seeker travels. The use of the crystalline structure is that which enhances the seeker’s ability to perceive the finer and more subtle energies that ever surround one, and enhance the ability to utilize these energies for the continued advancing upon the spiritual path.

The use of any such device or technique is that which is empowered by the desire and intention of the seeker, thus, the usefulness of any such technique or device is in direct proportion to the purity and intensity of the desire to seek knowledge in order to serve others that the seeker of truth emanates from its very being and by which it empowers all that it does and all that it is.

G asked what was the value of using sound and crystals on the spiritual journey. Q’uo said that sounds could be used to perceive more clearly the countryside through which the seeker travels. I am assuming that Q’uo was referring to mantras that would aid the seeker on its spiritual path. Then Q’uo said that crystals offer much the same aid in helping the seeker to perceive the subtle energies that surround one while traveling the spiritual path. However, Q’uo said that any such practices must be charged by the “purity and intensity of desire to seek knowledge to serve others” that emanates from the seeker’s being. On May 10, 1987, Q’uo gave a detailed description of the process of using the crystal in pursuing the spiritual evolution:

Any aid of the nature of the crystal that an entity employs in its journey of seeking may be valuable in that seeking according to the desire and purity of desire for polarization that the entity contains within its heart of being as it utilizes the crystal or any other gadget, shall we say, for it is the crystallization of the self or the personality of the self which is the process of evolution for each seeker.

As the seeker is able to regularize the thoughts, desires, actions and words that proceed from its being, and to focus these energies in a manner that partakes of service to others toward a positive polarity, the entity is making of itself, and more specifically the energy centers or chakras of the metaphysical self, a kind of crystal that accepts the white light of the one Creator and refracts it in a balanced fashion so that each energy center lends its distinctive coloration of vibration and yields again the white light.

If an entity wishes to accelerate the process of evolution, the process of utilizing catalyst in the daily round of activities, and gleaning from that catalyst the bias in consciousness towards service, then the entity may seek to share that quality of polarization with others by means of the healing that is possible in the use of the crystal. This healing is a process which is first used upon the self as the entity gathers the experience of its journey and allows the fruit of this experience to move through its being, to enter into the crystal and resonate in harmony with it and become amplified by this harmonic resonance and move to an other self that is in need of the kind of balancing of energy centers which your peoples term healing.

As the crystal is utilized for the enhancing, the balancing, or the healing of the energy centers of self or other self, it must, however, be understood that there is the attendant responsibility to utilize the increased energy patterns or intensified patterns in a manner congruent with the chosen polarity, for, indeed, the enhanced experience carries the responsibility to be utilized in a manner that is as pure an offering of love to the one Creator as the seeker is able to make.

May we speak further, my sister?

G: Yes, please.

I am Q’uo, and we mean by our query to ask if there is any further question which you might have for us upon this subject.

Carla: Well, I would ask—I was thinking—you kind of implied that a crystal by itself doesn’t have an intrinsic power, that it’s the empowerment by intention, by the use of the will in seeking, in, I guess you’d say, magnetizing the crystal that gives it its usefulness. Is that correct? I think of crystals really as being independently powerful, being able to focus and reflect light in different vibratory ways and people using that intrinsic power, but you’re suggesting that the true power of the crystal is extrinsic, in other words that it’s put into the crystal by the person’s relationship with the crystal. Is that true?

I am Q’uo, and we meant by our suggestion that the desire of the one utilizing such a device as the crystal was that which gave direction and therefore power to accomplish the work in consciousness which the crystal has as its contribution to such a seeker. The crystal structure itself is as you assume, that is, its power exists without a desire from another being to form it, yet such desire and purpose of intention then can direct the movement of energy rather than allow that energy to become diffused by the non-use in a conscious fashion of this energy.

Carla asked if the real power of the crystal was in the crystal or in the intentions and purity of the person using the crystal. Q’uo said that the crystal has power of its own, but it is the purity and desire of the one using the crystal that gives direction to the natural power of the crystal. In 2.3, Ra gave us the basic means of using the crystal:

The principle of crystal healing is based upon an understanding of the hierarchical nature of the structure of the illusion which is the physical body, as you would call it. There are crystals which work upon the energies coming into the spiritual body; there are crystals which work upon the distortions from spirit to mind; there are crystals which balance the distortions between the mind and the body. All of these crystal healings are charged through purified channels. Without the relative crystallization of the healer working with the crystal, the crystal will not be properly charged.

The other ingredient is a proper alignment with the energy fields of the planet upon which you dwell, and the holistic or cosmic distortions or streamings which enter the planetary aura in such a manner that an appropriate ratio of shapes and placement within these shapes is of indicated aid in the untangling or balancing process.

To go through the various crystals to be used would be exhaustive to this instrument, although you may ask us if you wish in another session. The delicacy, shall we say, of the choosing of the crystal is very critical and, in truth, a crystalline structure such as a diamond or ruby can be used by a purified channel who is filled with the love/light of One in almost any application.

This, of course, takes initiation, and there have never been many to persevere to the extent of progressing through the various distortion leavings which initiation causes.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: No, just a personal question about crystals. I seem to be sensitive to most crystals except diamonds. Diamonds are fine—they don’t bother me, I can wear them, I enjoy them. But if I try to put a crystal around my neck or near me, I’m uncomfortable after awhile, and I don’t know why, but I just want to move it a certain distance from me. They don’t bother me on other people, no matter how close the people are, but they bother me in connection with me. Could you comment on that? I’ve never understood why that’s so. I’m sure I’m not the only person that has that reaction.

I am Q’uo, and we find that your query is one which we may answer in a certain sense without stepping over the boundary of your own free will. Your sensitivity is that which has increased in nature as you have proceeded through your incarnational experience. The crystal form, as we have previously spoken, is that which funnels various energies, and in many cases magnifies these energies in a fashion which oftimes may not be in harmonic resonance with your own inner sensitivities which have become finely tuned and are easily upset, shall we say. Thus, it is well for your own comfort for you to either be careful that the crystals within your range of sensitivity be tuned to your own vibratory nature or removed to a distance which is outside of your range of sensitivity.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

Carla: I’ve always had the notion about marriage or any relationship that it doesn’t end. It seems to end, but, in actuality, if you don’t shut the person away or kill the person off in your mind I guess you’d say, that the relationship has perfect validity. It’s just that the person isn’t around. And I wonder if this is true?

I am Q’uo, and as one might expect within a universe of infinite possibility, there is infinite probability that entities which have engaged in the mated relationship for a period of your time and then found reason to end that relationship yet continue in what may be either the conscious or subconscious fashion to share experience and offer a portion of the self to the other even when the relationship has in the physical sense been terminated. In many cases this pathway which each has forged to the other becomes somewhat dusty and falls into disuse, yet from time to time is utilized for the gathering and sharing of experience upon the metaphysical levels of experience.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: Well, let me clarify my first question, because I didn’t mean that relationships that have stopped continue. What I meant was that it has always seemed unlikely to me that love would just go away. It seems that if you have an experience of love with another person, that the experience may end, but that the love remains. As long as it remains in memory, it remains truly. The reason that this is important to me is that I have had more than one relationship in my life, and it’s comforting to think of the light and love that those relationships created as having a life independent of the failure of the relationship for one reason or another, the ending of it.

I am Q’uo, and, indeed, my sister, all that remains from any experience within your illusion and all that is ever recorded within the nature of the soul is love. Whatever experience of love one is able to create and to share within any relationship or experience within your illusion is remembered and is gathered as the true harvest of the incarnation. All else is but the means to this end.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we find that we have for the moment exhausted those queries which you have so graciously offered to us this evening. We thank each for allowing our presence and for presenting to us the gifts of your queries and your comments, for as we speak upon your concerns, we speak upon those topics which are a portion of our own being and seeking, and by sharing with you that of our experience, our experience becomes refined and enriched with your own journey of seeking. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, rejoicing in the love and in the light which each has brought to this seeking. We are those of Q’uo, and we leave each in that love and in that love of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I used the sprinkler to water the area around the fish pond, the Flower Fall, and Wuthering Heights. Then I used the garden hose and watering wand to water the flowers next to the parking area in front of the house. Then I had the shuttle driver from Bachman Subaru pick me up and take me back to where they have been working on my car. Since it needs parts that they have had to order, they gave me an Subaru Solara, an electric car to use until they get Stanley repaired. It took a while to learn how to drive it, but I am getting the hang of it now.

This afternoon I took Bosco to the vet to have his blood sugars tested. Then I went to Feeder’s Supply to buy more cat food for Bosco.

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

September 30

Call The Light To You

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

See yourselves seated, just as you are, taking moments precious to you. For each is busy. So alter your consciousness that the ensuing period of time may be altered by the light which you have called to yourself in these moments.

Picture yourself opening as a flower to the wonderful sunshine of perfect love, being drenched by the freely given dew of strength, quietness and peace. Store this up within your heart, that through your eyes may shine this transcendental love which has the power of touching all those about you with a light which they may not know, but which they yet recognize as that which lifts the spirits, heals the mind’s pain, and cheers the emotions.

Allow that light to be stored within you more and more, that you may become an active spirit, a practicing and moving force for love, not by direct action, necessarily, but merely by the glow within the eye, the smile upon the lips, and the words spoken from a simple and cheerful peace.

We leave you in that 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.
