The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 4, 1987:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet you again in love and light. We thank this instrument for allowing us to speak through it this evening, and we are hopeful that we might be able to be of further service by attempting to answer those queries which each may find value in the asking. We remind each that we are but fallible seekers, your brothers and sisters, who wish that our words not be given too great a weight. Take those which have meaning for you and leave those which do not. May we begin with a query at this time?

N: My question to you is the question, if a so-called dangerous weapon, such that a gun could be—[could] draw to the entity using it danger, also, or a negativity because of possessions that could be used for harm?

I am Q’uo, and we respond by suggesting that there is no artifact of your culture, including the weapons of which you speak, which in itself may bring to an entity a situation which you would describe as dangerous or negative. Rather one may look to the intentions of the one who possesses the artifact and query as to the nature of those intentions, for though your world is one composed of many things and seems concrete and solid about you, indeed, that which moves it and has effect upon it is of the world of thought. As you direct your thoughts, so you draw unto you that which resonates in harmony with those thoughts.

This is a general principle which, of course, has many exceptions, but one may look to it as what you may call a rule of thumb. We may also add that the intentions which motivate any action are intentions which are themselves a product of what an entity has thus far learned within an incarnation and the efficiency with which that learning has been accomplished. Thus, the frame of mind and mood of emotion become the motivators for further actions and further thoughts as they themselves are products of the experience of the entity, so that an incarnation builds a certain momentum, shall we say, and it is within this field of thought energy that an entity will draw unto itself those experiences which are most likely to provide it further opportunities for learning and for being of service.

N asked if simply owning a dangerous weapon such as a gun could draw negative energy to the owner of the weapon. Q’uo suggested that no artifact of the third density could draw such negative energy to the person who owns it. Rather, it is the intentions that the person has for owning the weapon that, over a long period of time, might indeed draw negative energy to the person. On June 23, 1985, Latwii spoke on the value of intentions:

The intentions of any entity are the most salient or important feature of any thought or action. The intentions determine then one’s polarity, one’s service, and one’s, as it has come to be called, harvestability. Each entity in proceeding through an incarnation then will color or charge or empower each thought and action by its intention.

May we answer in any further way, my sister?

N: No, that was quite sufficient. Thank you.

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

Carla: Am I to know anything about what “winding a coil” means? And does it have anything to do with the high degree of contact that I felt earlier in the day?

I am Q’uo. We find, my sister, that in responding to this query we must first lay a certain groundwork by suggesting that the receptivity which became apparent to you at an earlier portion in this day is a product of many energy patterns or rhythms which are known to your peoples as the biorhythms and their coincidence in your pattern of living. The coil of which we spoke is most easily described as the pattern that intelligent energy, or the love/light of the Creator, takes as it moves through your energy centers, both the primary centers and secondary centers as well. There is a rhythmic spiraling of energies that are, when seen, closely approximating the shape of a coil or spiraling light.

The pattern that is traveled in this spiraling of intelligent energy is a pattern determined by the openness and brilliance of each energy center in turn, so that the intelligent energy begins its movement at the lower center and is then spiraled upward in a fashion which, when meeting no resistance, becomes intensified as the energy passes into the higher centers and their secondary components.

When we spoke of winding or rewinding your own coil of intelligent energy, we were speaking of the effect which we are able to cause by intensifying the energy which moves through the spiraled centers of energy. Thus, we in effect complement work which you have accomplished by shooting an extra dose, shall we say, of energy through this spiraling coil of intelligent energy.

When Carla was channeling Q’uo earlier in this session they spoke of “winding Carla’s coil”, and now Carla asked Q’uo what they meant by that. Q’uo said that they were speaking about the pattern that the Creator’s love/light, or intelligent energy, takes as it moves through her energy centers. Q’uo said this path could be seen as being like a spiral of light that moves upward in the energy centers more easily when there is no blockage in any of the energy centers. So when Q’uo said that they were winding Carla’s coil they meant that they were giving it an extra dose of energy through her spiraling coil of intelligent energy that would enhance spiritual work she had already done. On October 25, 2008, Q’uo spoke more of the general nature of the initiate winding its coil of desire to know the Creator:

The life of a religious recluse is designed to eliminate all possible distractions so that the seeker, the disciple, the student, may do nothing but wind the coil of the intensity of desire to know the Creator day after day and year after year. Nevertheless, there is no escape from humanhood within the bounds of flesh and blood, breath and desire. The most humble and self-abandoned disciple shall still find itself desiring those things which shall bring comfort to the body, the mind, or the spirit.

The initiate does not stop being human. The initiate becomes transparent to its humanhood and is able to gaze upon the requests which the body or the mind may make to the self with a certain amount of detachment and a larger point of view which enables the disciple to act in a more skillful way than one who has not become initiated.

It does not remove the business of living from that disciple. That disciple still must find ways to imbue all of those necessary parts of being human with awareness, attention and often ritual, which all are designed to keep the disciple in a good state of tuning.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: Yes, Q’uo. Was this service that you performed as a result of my praying before I channel each time to receive the highest and best that is possible for me to receive? Or would it occur in the development of any channel, regardless of the tuning? Due to the contacts to your own sense of service to others?

I am Q’uo, and we find that the answer to this query is not a simple one, for the entity serving as instrument provides much of the framework or foundation upon which any contact such as ourselves may then attempt to build a certain kind of structure or channel through which information may be transmitted. The prayer of which you speak is that tuning device which is most helpful in your own experience to ready yourself for this service. It is a crystallization of the life pattern which you have chosen in your daily round of activities, and this life pattern itself lends a significant portion of beingness to your tuning, so that the tuning then becomes a magnifier of the desire to be of service through the vocal channeling.

Added to this is the experience that any instrument gains as it practices its art, and in your particular case we have been able to work with your instrument for a long enough portion of your time that we are able at this time to move your conscious awareness somewhat more deeply into the meditative state in order that we might transmit concepts in a word by word fashion, thus hopefully acquiring the ability to be more precise, as you would call it, in describing one concept or another.

At this time we shall ask if there might be any further way in which we might respond to your query or if there might be further queries that you wish to ask to elicit further information upon this topic.

So Carla rephrased her question and asked Q’uo if their winding of her coil was because she always prayed before channeling to receive the highest and best contact possible, or would this winding of the coil be the same for anyone desiring to be a channel. Q’uo said that because of Carla’s prayer her desire to serve others had become crystallized or enhanced, and  Q’uo also said that they had worked with Carla long enough to be able to channel concepts through her in a word by word manner which was more precise in her channeling. On May 25, 1986, about six months earlier than this channeling, Q’uo mentioned how Carla was beginning to be more comfortable with the word by word channeling process:

I am Q’uo. I greet you in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to be with you this evening. We are using word by word channeling with this instrument, which requires more fine tuning on the part of the instrument, and therefore there may be pauses as this instrument is still at the stage where it is noticeably more comfortable with concepts as then it feels it has more control over the channeling process.

Carla: No, thanks.

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

N: Well, now that you mentioned it, I have a question. I work at a place among deceased people, and my question would be, I try to look at each person and send good energy to them, and I was wondering, I don’t know if you would call it the soul, but the energy of the deceased person, would they feel my energy going to them? I’m wondering if their soul would linger or any feelings or type of communication through the senses would linger after death is what I’m trying to ask.

I am Q’uo, and we find that among the population of your planetary sphere, being of the third density, it is often the experience of one who has recently made the transition from your earthly existence to the inner realms that the entity will for a portion of your time remain in the vicinity of its physical vehicle which it has now shed, and will also visit many of those with whom it has been close in the incarnation now complete.

The communication upon your part of love and good feelings to those who have departed their physical vehicles is a blessing which is greatly appreciated in most instances, for it is a reassurance to such entities that they indeed live still and receive interaction from others, even though they may feel themselves somewhat between worlds, shall we say. They are quite sensitive to the expression of love and affection and utilize these good wishes as they prepare to begin a journey that will finally take them into another density of existence in which they shall begin a study of the incarnation now complete and preparation for that which is to come.

Thus, it is quite helpful for all those who have recently known one who has passed through the door of death to send to that entity the heartfelt love and joyful farewell in order that the entity might be speeded upon its way and find the path through…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. May we respond in any further fashion, my sister?

N said that she worked with deceased people, and she tried to send them good energy after they passed away. She asked if the soul of such deceased entities would feel this energy. Q’uo said that after leaving the physical body many souls remain for a short while and visit those friends and relatives that they were close to, and they are aware of such positive feelings of love and farewell. On October 15, 2005, Q’uo described the seamless transition that we call the death process where one is aware of one’s being at all times, so communication with it might well be possible:

Your metaphysical body or the chakra system will travel through the gates of death into larger life with you; and in terms of your own experience or consciousness, your consciousness will not know any stoppage nor will it cease in its being for an instant at any moment during the death process.

N: No, thank you. I sort of felt your answer before and I feel that that’s [inaudible]. Thank you.

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

Carla: Only if you can make lemonade out of lemons. I have been asked too many times lately not to ask you once more for any help, any helpful concept that you could give me in responding to people who have a problem with spirituality and money. It’s a basic question of ethics and supply and the consciousness of plenty or supply versus the consciousness of need. People who offer spiritual gifts to others seem to have the feeling that they shouldn’t ask for money, and yet many people who want to offer spiritual gifts to others have to charge something, or at least they feel they do, in order to pay for their way in life. Is there any concept that I could take into my own thinking to work on in responding to people who ask me these questions?

I am Q’uo. We shall attempt to be of service in this regard, my sister, but we are somewhat unsure of our abilities, for this instrument has biases in this direction of inquiry which may be somewhat difficult to overcome. We may suggest that the planning to the last degree for any service to be offered is often an hindrance which makes the free offering of the service difficult, if not impossible.

What we mean to suggest in this regard is that for one who wishes to be of service to others in any particular fashion, it is recommended that that desire be the foundation upon which all further thought and action be built. The desire is that which shall form the framework that will allow the service thus to intensify and refine this desire. It is most helpful in that when the entity is able to remain in the full flush, shall we say, of this desire to serve, then it is often the case that the way to serve shall be made clearer and smoother for such an entity as the entity is able to call upon its own inner resources through the subconscious mind, and is also aided in its desire to serve by those friends and teachers of the inner realms who watch over each third-density entity.

Thus, the synchronistic events, as you call them, begin to have impact within the entity’s life pattern so that the way to provide the service becomes apparent as the entity is propelled to it and through it by its desire to be of service.

Whether the entity sets a price upon its service and the amount or degree of that price is determined in a fashion which is most difficult to describe, but which is primarily the function of the entity’s ability to gather its own inner resources in a fashion that allows their full and free expression, and as an analog, then, draws unto the entity the most appropriate manner by which the services may be provided to others.

As a general rule, we may suggest that the charging of a fee or price of any kind for such services is basically unimportant if the entity is able to look upon such a fee or charge or price as that which is not rigid, and is not that which shall become an obstacle to the providing of the service if the one desiring the service cannot pay the price.

Thus, the service is always offered, with the desire to serve being the motivation. The fee or price that may be decided upon, then, is that which is flexible and is secondary to the service.

So Carla wanted to know the relationship between spirituality and money, whether it was proper for a person who was offering spiritual services to ask for a donation for those services. Some felt that they shouldn’t ask, and some felt that they had to ask to support themselves, and Carla wanted to know what she should tell people in either situation. Q’uo suggested that the primary quality in offering service to others is to feel the great desire to be of service to others. That should be the foundation upon which the services are offered. Then, secondarily, the seeker should allow its thoughts of a fee for the services be flexible and occur according to the feelings inner guidance as to the nature or amount of the fee. On February 4, 1996, Q’uo gave a detailed overview of the relationship between money and spirituality:

Now, let us look at the values of your culture. The emphasis is always upon that which carries what this instrument calls the green energy of money. Some have more; some have less. Needless to say, this is an illusion, for all things belong to the one infinite Creator, and as you give and as you receive, you are simply moving the energy around.

This instrument is fond of saying, “Keep the energy flowing; don’t resist.” This is an excellent piece of advice. When it is time to accept love, learn, my children, to say, “thank you” with an open heart and a clear mind. The reciprocity is in accepting love without reservation or any evasion that would create an invulnerability between you and the other self.

Similarly, when you give, give wholeheartedly and you shall experience that event as if you were being fed by heavenly food. You see, it is not money, or places, or times, or any event, or object, or any occurrence whatever that is given or received, for what is actually occurring [is], you are a thought. That thought is love unreserved, complete, utter and whole. This Love chose to manifest itself and created Light. That Light in all of its rotations and degrees has built the universe in its infinity, and all that you see and all that you are is Light. All manifestation is Light in heavier and heavier outer garments.

Yes, but always each iota carries the signature of the one original Thought, which is Love. All you give is Love. All you receive is Love. The rest is masks, symbols and placeholders. So, gird your loins to accept with joy when it is time to accept and to give with equal joy when it is time to give and know that what you give, you give to yourself and what you receive, is what you have given away. All is balanced in the one infinite Moment which is all that there is in reality.

May we respond in any further fashion at this point?

Carla: Just one related question. My apologies to the instrument who hates this, okay? It has been said to me, sincerely, by good people, that the giving of money or some fee, some gift, constitutes a necessary part of a metaphysical bond between giver and receiver of metaphysical information, and that without the payment of some kind, you are basically giving your service with a deep metaphysical request to the person receiving it not to pay any attention to it. Whereas, by accepting a fee, you are also accepting that you are going to give this entity something and the entity is agreeing to take it in and consider it, that it is a sort of metaphysical contract, so that the price of it becomes an important part of the gift that is received, the price of it, that is, becomes an important part of the gift.

Would you care to comment on this concept? Does it have any substance?

I am Q’uo, and we find in this instance that it is for most of the population of your planet a case of the cart before the horse, as we find your saying has put it. The situation which has developed upon your planetary sphere as a result of the development of monetary systems and their predecessors of the bartering systems is the root to which the principle which you have stated may be traced, and we find that in many cases, due to the belief of many of your peoples that each may own a portion of the creation that is separate and apart from that which is owned by others, that many do indeed need a crutch, shall we say, upon which to lean when seeking assistance of a metaphysical or physical nature, one from another. Because of these beliefs, it is often necessary to pander to them, shall we say, and to, if we may use yet another phrase, “throw the dog a bone,” so that it shall lie quietly as the study goes on…

Carla: May I interrupt to ask a question?

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

Carla: I’m concerned for the instrument. I’m concerned because of the emotional load of these questions. Would it be satisfactory to you if I withdrew this question and allowed the instrument to stop channeling?

I am Q’uo, and this is quite acceptable my sister, yet we are also willing to continue, as is this instrument.

Carla: That’s okay. Not necessary. I get the drift. I’m concerned for the instrument personally.

I am Q’uo, and we shall continue. We are having some difficulty due to the confusion in this instrument’s mind. It is unaware that it has any difficulty, yet it has consented to allow the questioning to cease for the evening. Is there any short query before we close this evening?

So Carla restated her original question in a slightly altered form to suggest that giving service could bond you to the receiver in a metaphysical way that would insure that your service would be seriously considered by the recipient and, conversely, would be less seriously considered if there were no fee charged. But eventually Carla withdrew the question because she felt she had put too large of a burden on my shoulders to have to channel a response to a question, the basis of which, was a problem for me. So she withdrew the question. The problem was probably that I have always thought that services to others should always be given freely, just as all the books that have been written or channeled over the years of L/L Research’s existence are available for free in the form of PDF downloads.

Carla: No. Just our thanks.

I am Q’uo, and we thank each for inviting our presence this evening, and we apologize if we have caused any discomfort to this instrument or to any present this evening. We are somewhat clumsy at assessing the vital energies of those serving as instruments, and hope that we may gain in a facility in this regard in your future.

We have greatly enjoyed our sharing of your vibrations this evening and we look forward to attempting to be of some small service to this group in what you would call your future. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and at this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This afternoon I decided to repaint the blue triangular portion of the garage just below the roof. There are two such triangular portions at the rear of the garage, one for the second car entry and one that was originally a single car garage that was built onto before Don, Carla, and I moved here in April of 1984. This afternoon I repainted the second car entry. Then I pumped half of the water out of the fish pond and refilled it with fresh water. While the pond was refilling with water I fertilized the six water lilies.

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

September 3

The Gift Of Peace

I am the most sacred spirit of the consciousness of Jesus the Christ, and I join you in the consciousness of divine love.

This instrument has prayed, “Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.” The early morning brings a sunrise; the noonday, great light; the evening, the myriad colored rainbows of sunset, and at midnight, a carpet of stars is sprinkled upon the great ground of the sky.

In all of these conditions there is peace. In all conditions of the life that you experience now there is peace. Seek first, in the sunrises, the noons, the sunsets and the midnights of your heart, to feel the sweetly wrapped gift of peace given silently.

This present dwells within each of you. The varieties of life, light and experience merely embrace the various environments, the diverse parties with which you may share such a precious gift through smiles and laughter and gentle silences with those who greet you.

We leave you in peace, 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 January 4, 1987:

(Carla channeling)

We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a great privilege to be asked to speak with your group this evening and we especially would wish to extend our love and blessing to the one known as N. It is most enjoyable to blend our lifestreams with your own. We would thank the instrument for the care taken and the challenging, as there was interference which was effectively sorted out.

We would speak with you this evening about that event with which some of your group have been involved and about which they are now curious, that is, the recent global day of peace. We shall not speak specifically about this one event, but rather about the mass spiritually based event in general and its nature.

The Global Day of Peace for 1987 was a declaration by Pope John Paul II to all of humanity on Earth to seek the ways of peace through times of difficulty and struggle. Q’uo used this proclamation to focus more specifically on the “mass spiritually based event in general and its nature.”

We come to you not only as individuals, but also as a group, a cultural or societal mass consciousness which we use as an extended series of tools and resources in order to be able to speak to groups such as yours, and to serve as comforter to many who seek the Creator in a way which is complementary to our ability to function on behalf of the extended Self of all creation, reflecting the principles of faith, hope and trust, which then illuminate momentary difficulties for those whom we offer to comfort. Therefore, we have a sympathy for the impulse which birthed each day of prayer for whatever cause that has ever been organized and carried out among the peoples of your planet.

The nature of such an event is only partially that lightening of the planet which is intended, for there is a large portion in any such attempt of those energies which are more associated with societal and cultural movements, in other words, those energies which emerge from the solar plexus energy center and which this instrument calls yellow ray.

Q’uo said that they came to speak with us as a “cultural or societal mass consciousness” to speak as a comforter to those spiritual seekers who seek the Creator much as those of Q’uo which also seek to share the faith, hope, and trust of the same Creator, or “extended Self”. In 16.32, this is also the way that those of Ra said the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator functioned:

Questioner: Thank you very much. Can you tell me how the Confederation of Planets was formed and why?

Ra: I am Ra. The desire to serve begins, in the dimension of love or understanding, to be an overwhelming goal of the social memory complex. Thus, those percentiles of planetary entities, plus approximately four percent more of whose identity we cannot speak, found themselves long, long ago in your time seeking the same thing: service to others. The relationship between these entities as they entered an understanding of other beings, other planetary entities, and other concepts of service was to share and continue together these commonly held goals of service. Thus, each voluntarily placed the social memory complex data in what you may consider a central thought complex available to all. This then created a structure whereby each entity could work in its own service while calling upon any other understandings needed to enhance the service. This is the cause of the formation and the manner of the working of the Confederation.

If one were to look upon your planet as a house, the special spiritually oriented events could be seen as the attempt to clean house in one day. Moreover, because of the complexities within your planetary subcultures, the belligerent actions and intentions of many among your peoples served as those who caroused, drank and destroyed the very house which was being cleaned. Further, these same aggressions continue each of your days. Long in your history is the march of days in which shots and missiles have been fired in anger and hatred, whether the missiles be of lead, stone, mud, or those subtle missiles called words.

We have said to you often that one entity’s light is visible amongst the darkness of the whole planet, and so our modest estimate of spiritually oriented events must be confusing. Yet it is a question of bad news and good news, for we would not wish you to think that the running sore which constitutes your planet’s yellow ray propensity for aggressive action can be healed by the application of one day’s bandage. However, it is only through not only such events as these, but any other well-intentioned events whatsoever that your people’s consciousness can be transformed, so there is no discouragement in our assessment of the actual event. Rather, we encourage each to focus upon that fine instinct which leads to the decision to commit time and energy to a light-filled purpose so that each entity which included peace, love, light and brotherhood in consciousness for one day may begin to include it in consciousness for all, for it is in the persistent turning of the perceptions toward one tenor of thought which eventually will transform consciousness, although consciousness is in great part a matter of one’s perception of it. Nevertheless, by an effort of will and faith, consciousness can be taught to reverberate to the sounds of hope and peace, love and light.

We encourage each to turn again and again to the image of the world and of the self as a house, a dwelling. Each of you is a creature divinely designed to experience and reflect the Creator. The totality of consciousness upon your sphere is so designed as a whole, and one day, within a land which is only a promise to you now, you shall have the consciousness of the whole, you shall see your brothers and sisters as your true kin, and your heart shall not be torn between those you feel you understand and these you do not. Peace shall reign, yet always there is a greater peace; always in the journey of the seeker there is the restlessness which underlies all peace which causes those who seek to go on and on seeking the truth. As you see yourself upon that journey, see yourself also as a dweller within a structure which you have built so that it may contain that spirit within you which is of the Creator and which is the Creator.

Q’uo reminded us that our planet has been fighting wars among different nations for thousands of years and that the spiritual upliftment of humanity could be seen as cleaning house and making it spiritually transformed by a concerted effort on the part of each entity who was willing to focus on “peace, love, light, and brotherhood in consciousness,” and then we could see our brothers and sisters as our true kin. This is the process of forming a social memory complex as Ra described in 11.17:

Questioner: At what stage does a planet achieve social memory?

Ra: I am Ra. A mind/body/spirit social complex becomes a social memory complex when its entire group of entities are of one orientation or seeking. The group memory lost to the individuals in the roots of the tree of mind then become[s] known to the social complex, thus creating a social memory complex. The advantages of this complex are the relative lack of distortion in understanding the social beingness and the relative lack of distortion in pursuing the direction of seeking, for all understanding/distortions are available to the entities of the society.

Yes, you seek peace for your planet, but is your spiritual dwelling place strong enough for peace to reign therein? Is your heart and mind a place wherein the Creator may dwell and where you may be one with infinite intelligence?

My children, in order to build your house strongly from within, it is well for you to reflect deeply upon the nature of each portion of your being, for you are not only those who wish for peace, but also those instinctual creatures which cause war and aggression because of those instincts for survival which your body complex has inherited and which shall always color your perceptions and your consciousness while you dwell within your physical vehicle. You cannot legislate peace by prayer or any grand tours of the watchtower of your consciousness, for there is more to you than the top floor—there is the first floor and the basement. You must reckon with each and every instinct, each and every influence of the body complex, accepting, celebrating, and becoming a proper steward of each impulse which affects your consciousness. If each could do this for the self, then there would be peace.

We urge you to go within your mind into each and every corner of consciousness, examining, accepting and blessing every disharmony which your body complex seems to fit you for. Herein is the cradle of destruction: man’s heart and mind, when the full consciousness of your kind is not acknowledged and disciplined. We do not urge you to behave in what you perceive as a dark or selfish manner, but only to perceive the logic of such behavior. You shall find peace to come more easily when the enemy which is within you is carefully understood.

Q’uo suggested that for us to be truly able to achieve world peace we must deal with our inherited instinct for survival, which very likely came from our ape ancestors. So we must go within our minds to find those disharmonies which our instinctual bodies create and which are perceived and enacted by our minds. This is the nature of the balancing process which Ra gave us in 5.2:

To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.

The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smoothes part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.

The third discipline of the mind is a repetition of the first but with the gaze outward towards the fellow entities that it meets. In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understanding, patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience. We use this as a simple example. Most configurations of mind have many facets, and understanding of either self polarities, or what you would call other-self polarities, can and must be understood as subtle work.

We are giving this instrument some tuning at this time and we thank you for your patience. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and are sorry for the delay, but this instrument is quite receptive this evening and we are winding her coil, although she does not understand what we are doing. It is a helpful thing for us and the instrument will find it helpful also. We thank you for your patience and would at this time transfer the contact so that we may indeed speak with the one known as N. We leave this instrument with thanks and would transfer now. We are Q’uo.

After Q’uo transferred the contact to me, Carla asked Q’uo what they meant when they said that they were winding her coil. I will share Q’uo’s answer in tomorrow’s Camelot Journal entry.

This morning I began using the sprinkler to water the Wuthering Heights Mound and the Ruins Mound as it has been over a week since we have gotten rain. Then I used the hose and watering wand to water the small Forsythia bushes on the north and south borders in the back yard. Then I made an errand run with my first stop being Porter Paints where I bought some paint to repaint a portion of the inside of the front door of my home.

This afternoon I went outside and did some weeding in the driveway and in the parking area in front of the house. Then I came back into the house and spent some time looking through my collection of CDs to see if I could find some new tuning songs to use at our public channeling meditations which will start a week from today.

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

Love Has Work For You

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

Love is the giver, the sustainer and the protector of the tender, young spiritual consciousness. It is the strengthener and sustainer of those whose veil has slipped from the eye, those who are smitten by circumstance.

It is the stripper and remover of pretense, for forgiveness takes away the necessity for defense. Love enables each portion of the creation to sing and move in rhythm, one unified rhythm of continuous co-creation.

Do not expect love to come to you today. Rather, expect yourself to use whatever discipline is necessary to become aware of the love that is deep and fine and strong within you now: within you, around you, and in all that you may apprehend. Go forth in love and listen, for love has work for you to do, work of being, work of becoming.

We leave you in the eternal liveness of the consciousness of love and in peace, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 20, 1986:

[The quality of the recording is low, and thus the transcription is not entirely certain.]

(Carla channeling)

 [I am Q’uo,] and I greet you, my children, once again in love and in the light of the one infinite Creator that moves within each heart and within each creation. We thank you for the gift of your calling to us, for it is in serving entities such as you that we are able to work towards our own progression, our own further understanding of the one great original Thought of Love. Our consciousness is full with the joy of your company.

You ask us about the companionship of money and spirituality. It is written in one of your holy works that the love of money is the root of all evil. We would like to point out that it is the love of money, as it is any idolatry, which is at the root of separation, whether it be the separation of true worship of the great divine mystery because of pieces of wood and stone or the separation of one’s focus from that same mystery because of the love of counting. It is not the money itself which is contrary to a life led with a spiritual center, but the idolatrous love of that which is builded by man in imitation of the Creator’s abundance.

The love of power is understandable within your illusion, for quite purposefully did you design your physical vehicles to be nearly powerless in any natural sense, shall we say, against the greatly powerful forces of your illusion’s environment. Indeed, you were given both the instinct for survival and the challenge of survival as the foundation for your learning in third density. The love of money is a sub-type for the idolatry of power, for among other things, the having of this artificial substance which mimics true prosperity causes one to be able to manipulate the environment about one in a simple arithmetical formula: more money equals more time.

You will note that those who have experienced the having of large amounts of your money have virtually no consciousness of idolatry towards that substance, but instead, having become fully aware of the ramifications of the having of artificial abundance, seek instead for truer reality, a clearer picture of the nature of the self. It is not that the fear of the loss of power is not there in potential, for all alike [out of] true sheer [habit], even artificial abundance can create a consciousness of prosperity which automatically generates abundance. However, because this removes a large portion of catalyst from the illusion, most souls which choose to incarnate upon the Earth plane elect to manifest in situations in which a consciousness of true abundance is absent and concern for survival creates consciousness of lack. How easy, how understandable, how logical to love money when the lack of it has caused numberless discomforts in one’s person and vivid experience. Thus, we say to you that you must not waste time being concerned that so many have the love of money fighting with the realization that true prosperity does not equal the idol called money.

The question for this channeling was what the relationship between money and spirituality was. Q’uo began by reminding us that it is the love of money, the making of an idol of it, that tends to take up the time and attention of most people. For those who have plenty of money, the love of such takes away the focus from the true source of abundance that might be found on the spiritual path of seeking the truth. For those who have little money, then the focus is upon the consciousness of the lack of money and the problems that brings for people versus the consciousness of abundance in the true richness of one’s being which is the Creator within us all. On October 30, 1988, Q’uo elaborated on how making an idol of money can distract one from the mystery of the present moment:

One may consider such worldly ambitions as this to be a kind of idol or icon, that which is worshipped, but that which does not bring one to eternity, unless the personality of the entity is such that happiness and exaltation of spirit, when all goes well within the ambition, gives one a feeling of worship and offers one the opportunity to offer daily thanks and praise to the Creator which has made each entity. This obeisance to the Creator, however, is not often found among those which are worshippers of the money, the science, or the muse of one kind or another. That which artists and mystics have in common—and we wish at this point to give credit to this instrument’s own reading, for we are using this instrument’s reading as a good example of what we mean.

That which the artist and the spiritual seeker have in common is the lack of an icon held in space and time. Rather, the true artist and the true spiritual seeker or mystic is fascinated by the mystery of the present moment, and seeks in that moment, in each and every moment, the face of that mystery, the face that shall not be known, the ineffable face of the one Creator, the face of love.

Perhaps the most helpful thing we can suggest is that through meditation the consciousness of abundance may be encouraged, and as truth always drives out falsity, as love always drives out fear, so true abundance drives out the false idol. The consciousness of abundance does not mean that all that one wishes will come immediately, or at all, within any particular length of time or any incarnation. It means rather that there is an awareness that that which is to be shall come to one through natural plentifulness.

Observe those who have found abundance. Some may be wealthy and some quite poor, but what they have is an awareness of the excellence not only of life, but of the very life which is being lived by them. This is most often earned rather than given to them, especially among your people who are perturbed with great earnestness by their consciousness of lack. There are those whose happiness lies in children, those whose peace lies in love, others who find satisfaction in learning, still others, those who have the gift of being who they are. It takes a certain level of comfort to achieve the consciousness of abundance for most. It is difficult while starving to death to rejoice in the plenty all about one, yet there be spirits who have done so and gone to their graves singing in praise and thanksgiving for all the blessings which abounded in the creation of the Father.

Perhaps the second thing that we can offer to those who wish to be free of idolatry is a consciousness of other’s needs, for if stewardship of any gift and talent is expressed, then the gates of abundance open and one is flooded with plenty. We do not ask that you see money as a means to an end, we do not ask that you stop thinking about money. We do not ask any system of intellectual training whatsoever—we ask only that it be recognized that worship of that which is known is idolatry and is not a satisfactory way in which to polarize one’s path or to accelerate the pace of one’s journey upon it.

Seek first the consciousness of Love through meditation and analysis of action and thought, and that which is needed shall be given unto you according to the circumstances needed by you in your own opinion before this incarnational experience. All shall be given to you, for you see, no matter what the illusion of manipulation and manifestation may be, all this can be given unto you. All is indeed free. And that which is not, will not be. Each has designed for himself a special incarnation offering powerful experiences of lack and plenty, pain and peace. If you have little money, think not that you do not deserve more. If you have much money, think not that you deserve less. But whatever your environment, fill it with your love of the Creator and allow that love to reach to the infinity of the Creator’s laughing face, that His light may shine infinitely through you that you may become plenty to others.

Money is relevant in your illusion. Enjoy it if you have it, seek it if you must, disregard it if you can, but manifest plenty and the consciousness of Love.

So Q’uo recommended that it would be helpful to meditate on the true abundance that may be found whether one has money or does not have money. On September 25, 1993, Q’uo shared how true spiritual abundance may be realized within one’s being:

Within each of you is being born (as you choose to walk this spiritual path) the physical vehicle, if you will, of Light that you shall grow to be. But now, within incarnation, this physical form of light is tiny, incredibly vulnerable and protected only by your sense of its being as you go about your everyday affairs. Each choice that you make strengthens this infant consciousness. Each of you is like Mary, mother to Jesus, in that you are birthing your spiritual self, and you shall carry this within you all your days within this incarnation. Each hurt, each abruptness which shocks, each sorrow, each feeling of solitude and longing for a more native country, causes this infant child within to cry, and you may stand confused.

How can you nurture this inner child of light? Each of you can, in every moment, imagine, dream and intend this nurturing; and with the energy of this intention, you touch that tiny light-being with the Mother’s and Father’s Love, seeing you are not alone, “for I have touched Love.” And all that you feel and care and reach for exists in abundance, abundance that shall wash over your sweet beingness. “Here, feel my Love.” And because you, in all your dirt and confusion, have intended and dreamt and imagined this Love, this abundance—this becomes truth; and the nurturing of infinite Intelligence continues as the great work that rose beyond all of the seemingly independent sparks of consciousness and, in the end, feeds not only that spiritual self within but the more conscious everyday self that may feel so poorly equipped to nurture and love spiritually.

Your secret weapon always is the parents’ eternal secret: simple, honest Love. Love that questing spirit within and you nourish that which shall carry you into eternity.

My friends, we are most pleased to speak with you and thank you for this great privilege, asking only that you take our voice lightly as brothers and sisters and not as authorities. We would leave you for now in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. May all shine upon you, through you, and from you in plenty. Adonai. Adonai. We are those of Q’uo.

[Tape turned off and then on again.]

Carla: Well, let’s have a batch of questions.

L: What I would like to know is everything and anything pertaining to the facilitation, both for myself and then passing it on to other people, having to do with the process of [writing down] all of the work having to do with contacting intelligent infinity, getting instructions, getting the, if [that takes any] guidance, having to do with the advanced work of enlightenment.

Carla: Okay. You don’t want much, do you?

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are most grateful for this instrument’s sensitivity to our needs, for there is some difficulty as has been mentioned within the group.

As each moves closer to the seeking of light, there will be the equal opportunity given for those who wish to give a darker message and the sadder one. And of ourselves, we can only wait and hope and ask that those who act as instruments for the forces of light may be vigilant. This instrument does not see into the darkness of this particular visitor, for it is not this instrument’s visitor, and so we are grateful that the instrument paused and responded to our request by tuning the group. With your strong and unified dedication to light, with your unified consciousness of love, there flows betwixt us and you an impregnable road, a highway of light through which information may flow. We ask that you guard that highway for us and for this instrument. Be vigilant in your consciousness and channel this to the best and truest that you know. We shall proceed, thanking the instrument also for not losing the contact when we told her a private joke, for this instrument is given to fits of giggling and it would have broken the contact which we had just reestablished.

Apparently there was a dark visitor within the consciousness of the group that was attracted to the group by its seeking the light, and Carla asked the group to retune so that the channeling could continue. Also, Q’uo mentioned that they had told Carla a private joke that helped her deal with the dark visitor. In 57.1, Ra mentioned how a sense of humor helped Carla deal with our negative friend of fifth density:

Questioner: Could you first give me an indication of the instrument’s condition, please?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument is under a most severe psychic attack. This instrument is bearing up well due to replenished vital energies and a distortion towards a sense of proportion which your peoples call a sense of humor.

The question of how to achieve contact with intelligent infinity for oneself and for others is certainly an interesting one. Perhaps we should begin with a story.

There was once a woman among your people whose life was too filled with luxury and too barren with desolation and [non-physical] deprivation. This entity hungered for all the things for which young women hunger—admiration, beauty, the camaraderie of friends, and the achievement of those goals prescribed by your peoples as needful for an adequate experience of prosperous and normal adulthood.

Yet this entity found herself in love, in love with someone she knew better than her mother or her father or herself or any friend or enemy. This entity called this man her savior, and knew that for this man, who was more real to her than flesh and blood, she would live and would gladly die. The entity joined a convent and worked at menial tasks as do those who adopt the bridal ring of poverty, chastity and obedience. That for her was the knowledge of the scholar. Yet, as she touched, she healed, and so she was sent to be a nurse.

The order to which she belonged was not a rich one, except in ideals, and so it turned itself to the aid of the most poor. The entity found itself upon the streets of cities in India, as you call that portion of your planet’s surface, kneeling day and night in the streets where homeless have their homes and the hungry ate no bread except death and ruin. The entity touched faces half-eaten by vermin, scabs and pestilence and saw the face of her savior husband. This entity walks among you. This entity could be you. And each of you knows that.

Yet each of you knows, too, that it was not given you to love the face of the Savior more than flesh and blood. We say to you, my friends, that if you wish to make contact with intelligent infinity, you must know what you love more than flesh and blood and your own life. Look deep in the ideal for the mysterious One whom you may call a savior. And when you find that face that you can love and love [wholly], then you shall find the gateway to intelligent infinity. There is no knowledge or understanding that will move you upon the journey to behold the face of the One who will save you from death, the death of limitation in consciousness.

Thus, you must examine day after day, and in meditation seek endlessly day after day, love itself. You cannot serve others and find the face of Love—first you must know love, you must have subjective validation. Light and Love must become real to you and more precious than all those things which you shall be asked to surrender and give up for the sake of that which you cannot see and never shall, that which is closer to you than your own breathing, dearer to you than any anything of which you may think. How can you love a face you shall never see? How can you personify the unfathomable mystery of creation? Love has as many faces as there are consciousnesses to behold Love. Your savior will come to you when you have sought it. Each day, each moment is pregnant and fecund with the infinite possibility of the full realization of the love for which you would gladly surrender all. Yet it is not known by any what moment you shall choose to open at last to Love itself.

We can say that if you can think only in terms of action, by all means seek the face of Love in action, but know that each hour that you spend acting in manifestation of the search for Love needs to be matched in twice or four times the intensity, whether in duration or in simple caring, by the seeking within of the silence. For in developing your consciousness, in disciplining your personality, you shall at last draw near to an irresistible infatuation of puppy love, an innocent, crazy calf-mooning after the Creator. If you are not capable at this moment of falling in love, then the gateway of intelligent infinity is not yours at this moment, for you are not extravagant enough to know of Love. Love is folly, for only folly could create the wonder that you see all about you. Only folly would wish to know itself. Only Love can see life.

We are sorry to have no techniques to offer you, save one. Seek, and seek, and seek again, patiently, persistently and extravagantly. Find ways to laugh and bless your tears. Attempt to see love in everyone and everything and forgive yourself when you do not. Never let any seriousness, guilt or unhappiness divide you from your seeking for the love of love. Knowledge is not of your illusion. You [seek] to choose fully, to know the face of the Creator by a love that is full of compassion and service to others, a love that is radiant unto them, and so you must love and enjoy and cheer each other and know that if you bring each other to the resting place another may desire, it is love that has lead the way and not your knowledge. Seek, my friends, love, in love, for love’s sake. All else will follow.

We find that this instrument grows fatigued, and we would suggest that the instrument rest before continuing any more channeling. The instrument informs us that this is intended. We are pleased. We wish all of you a…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Carla channeling)

Thus, the consciousness that comforts lies everywhere and you are not alone, that wherever you are upon the path and whatever lonely thing you must do, there are these seen and unseen who witness and offer comfort at every turn and who pillow your head upon the [inaudible] of infinite patience, for it is a kindly universe in which the Creator has only [one] Thought and that is Love. The gateway to intelligent infinity is the seeking of that Love.

The question was to ask for instructions as to how to attain contact with intelligent infinity and to achieve enlightenment. So Q’uo’s answer was to tell the story of a woman who knew all of the pleasures of the normal world but who longed to know her Savior. Eventually she entered a convent and began to work with the poor and saw the face of her Savior in each disease-ridden person she met. So Q’uo suggested that each person who wishes to know the mysterious face of the Savior, of Love, to meditate and seek and see Love in every tear, every person, every experience. Q’uo said that the gate to intelligent infinity is the seeking of the Love of the Creator. On August 15, 1976, Hatonn gave a path to the Love of the Creator that we all may travel as spiritual seekers of truth:

When you seek Love, when you seek to know the source of Love, it is an attempt to tabernacle, shall we say, to become one with that which is infinite and invisible, that which is nearer to you than your own body. You need go nowhere. Love is waiting for you, so close—so very close, my friends. So that the request, in its simplicity, is simply a willingness of you as individualized consciousness to become the observer in your life, to turn your life over to Love, to turn your life over to Christ-consciousness. You do not have the power to show Love. You can only offer your life to Love, so that Love can live your life. Then, as you watch, the force of Love flowing through you will teach you.

You, yourself, as individualized consciousness, will never be wise to the ways of Love, for the physical is a series of measurements and judgments and understandings which are limitations. Love is creative, limitless and infinite.

When Love approaches a situation, Love expands that situation. Love eases. Love makes possible comfort where no comfort was. Individualized consciousness cannot do this and all the will in the world cannot find the way of Love.

So as you seek, seek to watch the ways of Love as they flow through you. It is important to discriminate, it is important to judge. And yet, as you are functioning, allow Love to flow through you, without judgment and without hindrance. And then it will teach you its ways and It will live your life. You cannot direct the Creator. As long as you attempt to direct Him, He will stand knocking, asking to be let in to your heart. Once you make the connection, then you and the consciousness of Love will be together, communing and living a creative life.

Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Truer words were never written. It is your responsibility—your only true responsibility—to seek and then when you have found—to share.

We are those of Q’uo, humble messengers and friends. Never confuse us with those who know something, for we are only your brothers and sisters. Yet insofar as we have any poor opinion, we share it with you gladly, thanking you for the privilege of the call you give us. We leave you in the love and the infinite light of the One Who Is All. Adonai. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I ran a couple of errands. First, I went back to Thieneman’s Nursery and bought ten bags of mulch for my new Gulfstream Nandina garden. Then I stopped by Walgreen’s Drug Store and bought some food and non-food items.

This afternoon I spread the mulch in the Nandina garden, and then I went outside and cut down some dead Honeysuckle bush limbs and put them in garbage cans for yard waste pickup next week. Then I came inside and vacuumed the first floor of the house.

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

September 1

When The Mind Relaxes

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

We come to this instrument although this instrument has no words of her own. We find, indeed, that it is when the human mind relaxes and affirms its unknowingness that we may speak most clearly.

Those who seek to know love dwell upon their lacks and limitations, frustrated that they cannot become closer to the source for which they yearn. Yet to the soul who says merely, “Here am I,” we may come with unfettered footstep and breathe life eternal into things temporal.

Fear not when you confess to yourself that you know not of ultimate things but only surrender that lack of knowledge and open to the information of light of which it is known you have need.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 14, 1986:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in love and light. To finish that which we had begun through the one known as Carla.

We have come to the point in our discussion of the one known as Jesus in which we wish to share some information concerning the perceptions which the one known as Jesus would perhaps make upon the patterns and rituals of observing this occasion that is known as the Mass of Christ’s birth. Indeed, within each entity who seeks answers to the mysteries of life there is a season during which the activities of the entity cease and the focus of attention is pointed inward.

The fruitful time in the sense of experience gained is considered within the inner being to be likened as to a foundation for that which is to come. Within each entity that seeks these truths of experience there comes the time when there will be a new beginning. This is often preceded by the trials which test that which has been known and applied to experience. From these trials, then, the entity moves to the limits of its being, and through a sacrifice of its own knowing and unknowing, and a surrender of these to that force which is paramount in the life pattern, call it the one Creator or Love or the Christ Consciousness, if you will.

With this surrender, then, comes the possibility of a new seeding of awareness and experience within the seeker. As each of your peoples then take part in the celebrations in the name of the Christed Jesus, each then does also partake in some fashion of this ritual of renewal and eventual resurrection of the Christed consciousness within each manifested vehicle which has the Logos as source and motivator in the great experience of evolution which each of you undertakes.

There are, of course, many distractions to any life pattern and celebration, such as the one which this season has provided once again.

At this time we feel that we have shared that which is congruent with our perception of your call. We would then at this time ask if we might speak upon any further topics or attempt clarity with regards to that which we have shared this evening. Are there any queries at this time?

Q’uo began their message by saying that each person moves out of the daily round of activities and partakes in some way in the Mass of Christ, or that which we usually call Christmas, renewal, and resurrection. On February 4, 1996, Q’uo again spoke of the nature of renewal that is available to each seeker of truth:

It is said among your peoples that each day is a new beginning. And indeed this is so, yet some beginnings are larger than others, for as we spoke previously, each entity has cycles and seasons of growth, of harvest, of quiet time, of renewal, of beginning again this great cycle of experiencing the one Creator in many forms and yet seeing how all dissolves to one concept or quality called love.

J: Did I understand correctly that the birth of Jesus occurred in midsummer, or did I hear incorrectly on that?

I am Q’uo, and we spoke thusly, my brother. May we speak in any further fashion?

J: And the birth of Christ was approximately five and one half years prior the time our historians believe to be the actual birth of Christ. Is that correct?

I am Q’uo, and as accurately as we can perceive your measurements of time, this figure is relatively accurate.

May we answer further, my brother?

J: What was the name of the entity that gave physical birth to the baby Jesus?

I am Q’uo, and we find that the literal translation of this entity’s naming, as you call it, is not possible, but is approximated by the sound vibratory complex that is known among your peoples as Mary.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: From tonight’s lesson I think I understood that Jesus, before incarnating in third density, chose to incarnate into third density, but somehow was granted the ability not to go through the veiling process that normally third-density beings go through prior to incarnation into this dimension. Is this correct?

I am Q’uo, and we find that this has correctness to it, though we see some difficulty in a full explication of the nature of the awareness that was experienced by the one known as Jesus. This entity was able to retain pathways of perception, shall we say, in its incarnate state that were easily activated in a sequential fashion according to experience gained throughout the incarnation so that at a latter point within the incarnation this entity was able to channel and experience the Love of the Father which you would call the Logos in a fashion which was in harmonious resonance with the personality, shall we say, of the one known as Jesus without obliterating that per…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. Since we had completed our response, we shall ask if there might be a further query upon which we could speak, my brother?

J asked if Jesus was able to incarnate without going utilizing the veil of forgetting. Q’uo suggested that Jesus was able to activate various pathways of perception that allowed it, in a later portion of its incarnation, to channel the Love of the Logos or the Father. In John 10:30, Jesus said:

“I and the Father are One.”

J: Why was it necessary tonight for the ones doing the channeling to do a deeper state of concentration, shall I say, in order to bring about this channeling tonight?

I am Q’uo. The reasons were two. Firstly, the topic queried upon was one which is central to the incarnational patterns of some within this group, thus there was some added risk in the possible infringement upon free will. Secondly, the nature of the queries was of a specific enough focus that in order to respond with the appropriate information there was the necessity of the ones serving as instruments to move to deeper portions of the conscious mind so that less static, shall we say, would be likely to interfere with the concepts being transmitted.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: Thank you very much. That cleared that up. I have just one more question. Well, first let me ask you this. Have there been further incarnations of the entity known as Jesus upon the planet Earth?

I am Q’uo, and we find that there have not been, my brother. May we speak further?

J: Will there be another incarnation of this entity on the planet Earth?

I am Q’uo, and we find that it is not the entity known as Jesus that shall appear again, but the Christed consciousness which shall move through those of your population which have prepared a place for this consciousness.

J asked if Jesus would incarnate again on Earth again. Q’uo said that Jesus would not incarnate again but the Christed consciousness would be experienced by seekers “which have prepared a place for this consciousness” which is somewhat similar to what Ra had to say in 17.22:

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

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

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

May we speak further, my brother?

J: I’m a little confused. Can you explain further about a place for this event?

I am Q’uo. We began speaking of such a preparation in the final portion of our opening message for this evening when we spoke of those seekers of truth who retire to the inner portions of the self to stand upon the foundation of what has been gained of experience and reach for that which is cloaked in mystery and attempt to bring forth within the incarnational pattern the proper conditions that will allow the same channeling of Love which the one known as Jesus accomplished in its life pattern.

This “ritual of celebration,” as we called the process, is one which each entity observes in some fashion in this season during which the birth of the one known as Jesus is celebrated. The process was demonstrated by the incarnation of the one known as Jesus, eventually culminating in the resurrection of the Christed consciousness within the life pattern of the seeker residing within the third-density illusion. Thus, by such seeking and exercise of faith does the seeker prepare a place within the life pattern for this resurrection, shall we say.

Q’uo attempted to speak to J’s question of whether Jesus might return to this world by using the analogy of each seeker’s attempt to use what it has gained of realization of the mystery of creation to also channel that which Jesus channeled of the Love of the Creator. On December 19, 1999, Q’uo spoke of this process that is available in the season of Advent:

As we begin to look over this interesting subject of energy exchange and blockage we note that it is what this instrument would call the season of Advent, that time in your solar year when darkness claims your Earth plane the maximum amount of time during your days, the time when the light seems farthest. In this darkness the light is born, and into this darkness the light does come, and each of you is a repository of that light, and each of you wears the crown upon your head. And it is heavy. And this is as it should be. As the one known as Jim spoke earlier, from the standpoint of each of you before incarnation, each and every difficulty that you are having, from the depletion of your energy from unwise exchange, with disappointment in yourself for energy blockage, was gazed at with delight, with eager anticipation of running the straight race, serving with gladness and joy, being a light within the darkness of the Earth plane. From that vantage point the perfection of the pattern was seen, accepted and acted upon. It is, indeed, an innocence of soul and spirit that is bound to be lost, that idealistic, optimistic concept that the self has of the self’s coming incarnation.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: No, I think I understand. That’s all the questions that I have. Thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Are there further queries at this time?

H: I have a couple—maybe just one. Immediately after Christ resurrected from the tomb, was his body solid, or would it pass through doors, like a vapor?

I am Q’uo. The entity known as Jesus, at the time of that known as the resurrection, was able to channel the Love of the Father or the Logos to such an extent that it was able to affect the structure of its physical vehicle in a way which filled it with Light so that it was able to manifest both the characteristics of your third-density illusion when appropriate, and able also to refine its focus of Light to the point of being able to move through what you would see as solid material of your third-density illusion.

May we speak further, my brother?

H: No, that cleared that up quite well, and the second question too. That’s all the questions. Thank you.

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

J: Could you explain the configuration of which you spoke, in the skies, that created the optical illusion of illumination or a cluster of light at the time of the birth of Christ?

I am Q’uo, and we pause in order to allow this instrument to move somewhat more deeply into the meditative state. The patterns of light that became obviously apparent to the physical eye of those within the vicinity of that known as the Holy Land were produced by an unusual alignment of both planets and constellations of stars that seemed to focus their brilliance upon a point which seemed far nearer your Earth planet by far than even your moon, so that there was projected from this alignment of celestial bodies a focus for their light that approached this planetary sphere at a focal point which was seen as a sign to those who studied the skies and more especially the stars.

J asked if the cluster of light at the times of the birth of Jesus was an optical illusion. Q’uo said that this light was a combination of planets and constellations of stars that produced a focus of light that was near to the Earth and visible to those who studied the stars. On April 9, 1985, Laitos spoke of the Star of Bethlehem:

I am Laitos, and we feel that we might best describe the relationship of the so-called Star of Bethlehem and others with the one that has come to be known as Jesus of Nazareth as he entered your third-density physical illusion. The occasion can be seen much as the send-off that a great and varied grouping of friends may give one of its own as it goes off upon a long and lonely journey to a distant land that is in, shall we say, great distress and calls with great intensity for the services that all within this family of entities have to offer, and these services then shall be individualized and manifested by one of the group, and in this case, the one was known and is known among your peoples as Jesus of Nazareth, the Christed One.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: Was this configuration or alignment of the celestial bodies coincidental, or was it to fulfill the prophecy of the birth of Jesus the Christ?

I am Q’uo, and we may note that this alignment was a cyclical event which was an integral portion of the evolutionary cycle of your planetary sphere which provided a doorway of a kind through the metaphysical realms, shall we say, that was the signal for the opportunity for the one known as Jesus to begin its service in the fashion which became known as its incarnational experience.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: If this configuration is cyclical, when will it occur again?

I am Q’uo, and this particular configuration or opportunity for refining the focus of consciousness is that which appears near the ending of what we find many of your peoples call a major cycle of evolution, that which numbers approximately 25,000 of your years. This opportunity allows those of a planetary population who ready for the harvest or graduation, as we find you call it, to begin the final lessons that will allow such graduation. The refining of the focus of consciousness is the general opportunity which is provided to each in a unique fashion for each.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: Thank you. That clears it up. Have we pinpointed the exact spot of the birth of Jesus?

I am Q’uo, and we find that this location remains yet a mystery to your peoples.

May we speak further, my brother?

J: Would it be possible for you to tell us approximately where the exact location is, then?

I am Q’uo, and we are not able to move this instrument deeply enough in its own tree of mind for the transmission of this information, and we apologize for this limitation. Indeed, we find that the focus required for this particular transmission has begun to waver somewhat within this instrument.

May we attempt another query at this time?

J: No thank you, that’s all the questions that I have.

Carla: I’d like to ask one last question and then, with thanks, encourage you to go on, because it does seem like the instrument’s really tired. I know this was tiring for me, too. But I thank you for coming. First of all, two things. Just yes or no. Did you mean a 25,000 year cycle or a 75,000 year cycle, because you said “major cycle”?

I am Q’uo, and we meant to use the term “major” to signify the 25,000 year cycle, reserving the term “master” for the addition of three 25,000 year cycles.

Carla: Okay. The last question is just yes or no, but I have to go on for just a little bit because I’ve been pondering what you said earlier about mysteries. And the real mystery, I mean, you didn’t decline to answer that much, but there was one thing that you hinted at, but it was a real mystery. I mean, it was a contradiction, which of course is the nature of spiritual things, and that was this. That you had me thinking for awhile that Jesus was—well, we’ve gotten in other information—a wanderer that decided he was up to doing this job and came here, and in other information we’ve learned, he was awakened to some lifting of the veil and it kept happening and kept happening until he was real aware. So basically, he channeled the Christ throughout his life, but there’s always a distinction between Jesus the man and the Christ.

Now there was something that you said that hinted at the mystery, and that was, you said ultimately the Christ became Jesus, which would suggest more of like a walk-in situation where the Christ comes in and basically takes over the consciousness. Yet at the same time, you said that the one known as Jesus never forgot that it wasn’t he, it was the Creator that he was channeling. Is this the heart of the mystery that you cannot in any satisfactory way explain to third-density minds?

I am Q’uo. This is indeed the mystery, my sister, for within the third-density illusion, each seeker of what you call the truth places itself in a position of receptivity to that truth by the intensity of the seeking, the strength of faith and will, so that at some point within the cycle of incarnations, it is possible for such a seeker to not only discover that which it seeks, but to become that which it seeks. Thus is the meaning of the resurrection within third density. The seeker builds with mortal hands a manifested life that may be constructed in such a fashion in metaphysical terms that that known as Love may move through the being in such a pure fashion as to shine as that which it is, the pure and virgin consciousness of the one Creator, moving to gain the experience of the creation which It has made of Itself, and doing this within the life pattern of incarnate third-density beings who have prepared this place within their life patterns and, thus, not only receive that which was sought, but become that which was sought.

Carla asked Q’uo to share more of the mystery of how Jesus was able to channel the Christ, or the Creator, and how this mystery was difficult to explain in words to the third-density mind. Q’uo agreed this was true for Jesus and for each seeker of truth in the third density when the seeker could use the power of its will and faith through many incarnations to not only discover that which it seeks but to become it. In 75.23, Ra described how this process works for the adept:

Each entity is the Creator. The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self, gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self. The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced, with minimal adequacy, the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue, with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.

The adept then begins to do less of the preliminary, or outer, work having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being. As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time: that is, the One Infinite Creator.

May we speak further, my sister?

Carla: No, that’s food enough for thought. Thank you very much for an elegant answer.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. At this time, we shall ask if there might be a final short query before we close this working?

T: Yes. This is the true meaning, what you just stated is basically to my way of thinking—I’m asking if this is true—the true meaning of achieving Oneness, becoming One, in other words, the physical and the higher self in very simplistic terms, truly become One, when this point is achieved that you just described? Is that basically correct?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my brother, for the inheritance of each portion of the one Creator is the one Creator. Much there is that shall be learned during that time of incarnation within the third-density illusion where the veils of forgetting are moved into place to enable that experience within this illusion to be of an intensity that provides each portion of the Creator the fullest range of opportunity to know the power of Love to redeem and resurrect even the tiniest portion of the one Creator. Thus, when each seeker moves to the point at which it may so perfectly channel the one Creator in its Love aspect, then each portion of the life pattern takes on an holy appearance and all is seen as sacred.

T wanted to know more about how we can become one with the Creator. Q’uo said that our third-density illusion provides many intensive experiences that allow such a becoming of One with the Creator to occur. In 81.13, Ra gave a summary of this process:

Questioner: [We have] already discussed the Significator, so I will skip to number thirteen. Transformation of Body is called Death, for with death the body is transformed to a higher-vibration body for additional learning. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and may be seen to be additionally correct in that each moment and certainly each diurnal period of the bodily incarnation offers death and rebirth to one which is attempting to use the catalyst which is offered it.

May we speak further, my brother?

T: No, that was fine, thank you.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. At this time, we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, with our great and joy-filled thanksgiving to each for allowing our humble thoughts to be projected through words to each heart and mind. Again we remind each that we seek as do you, hopefully, faithfully, yet fallibly. Take those words with meaning and use them as you will, leaving those with none. We are known to you as those of Q’uo, and we leave you at this time in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I changed out the sheets on my bed and washed the bed spread and two pillow shams. Then I went outside and completed the digging of the Tiger Lily path and followed that with the use of my garden tiller to be sure that the dirt is free of clods before the transplanting of any shrubs. Then I went over to Thieneman’s Nursery and purchased seven Nandina shrubs.

This afternoon I transplanted the Nandina and got them watered. Then I came inside and did the laundry from the bedding change this morning.

The House Of God

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

The basilica of your holy temple is most lofty and grand; the chancel of your cathedral most capacious and elegant, built by man as if to invite hosts of angels to dwell therein.

Yet we say to you that those lofty spaces arching far above the head of the seeker are created of an instinct concerning the inner light of humankind, not the boarding needs of angels.

Let your thoughts and prayers be those which are uplifting and soaring above the common run of human thought and know that if you be not in those houses dedicated to the Lord God, yet still have you a lofty arch into which you may throw your heaving joy and groaning sorrow, for the great circle of human consciousness reaches to the very heart of the Creator regardless of your position in the world.

May your prayers be seen as having wings, not only in the house of God but in the greater house of God which is the world. May all places be holy to you this day.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from December 14, 1986:

The question this evening has to do with the season, more specifically, the birth of Christ, the life of Christ, and whether there may be any discrepancies in the time, place and what he had to teach, and a couple of side queries along the line of virgin birth, how it was accomplished, and the meaning of Christmas to Jesus.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose name and in whose service we answer your call. We greet each of you this evening and thank you for the privilege of being allowed to share our thoughts with you. We urge you, as always, to remember that we offer our personal opinions and our beliefs, not infallibility. Therefore, listen to us in good will, but lay down those thoughts that do not seem helpful.

We find that in speaking about the subject of Jesus the Christ, we must be more careful than usual to guard against infringement upon free will, for this entity is centrally important to some of those present, and we wish our words not to be stumbling blocks nor to be paths into an unproductive wilderness, but rather helpful disclosures for neutral information. There are some levels of understanding above that which you in third density enjoy which are necessary for the grasp of the full nature of Jesus the Christ, for you who seek this entity shall be in part a mystery to the conscious mind, not because there was an intention to be mysterious, but because the nature of Christ is mystery.

We take this somewhat slowly, as we are working with this instrument for a more delicate balance with less control from us and more surrender from the instrument which enables a lesser amount of energy to be adequate for transmission of adequate thoughts. This will eventually, we hope, enable the instrument to work at a deeper level while still conscious. We thank you for your patience.

The question was concerning Jesus the Christ and whether there might have been any discrepancies in the time of His birth, the concept of the virgin birth, and His teachings in general. Q’uo suggested this type of information contained a good deal of mystery because the nature of Christ is mystery. Q’uo also mentioned that they would need to balance less control from them with more surrender from Carla in order to help her attain a deeper state of consciousness to channel Q’uo’s concepts about Jesus. On April 2, 1995, Q’uo shared some of the mystery of Jesus:

The so-called transfiguration was an event that was important to those who saw it rather than the one known as Jesus. To the one known as Jesus there was simply that basking in the light. To those who gazed upon him at this time there was the fairly articulated manifestation of earlier prophets and teachers, each of which had a ceremonial structure created about it. This was created by the great desire of those disciples who saw this to understand more clearly where the one known as Jesus fit, shall we say, into the long-standing and respected teachings of their peoples.

To continue. The entity known as Jehoshua, whom Greeks called Jesus, or rather, Jesu, was born closely upon the heels of midsummer, very few years before that year suggested by your histories, approximately five and one half years. We believe this is the correct measurement. We only may only say it was in the middle of the seventh month. We are sorry, but your numbering does not make enough sense to us. We understand your moons, but not your numbers.

We cannot speak about what this instrument calls the virgin birth, and invoke the Law of Confusion, saying only that each new soul first awakened to its perception of itself as an eternal being has experienced the virgin birth. The event was difficult, and the birth was indeed humble, though brightened by an optical illusion, shall we say, a most unusual configuration within the heavens, which caused there to appear to be for some of your months an unusually bright cluster of light in the night sky.

The combination of the Christ with a serviceable life channel was powerful, and many psychic events occurred before and after the event as well as at the time of it. Astrologer kings did indeed journey following the star, however the arrival was approximately a year and a half later. That, indeed, is a spiritual adventure you would do well to ponder as you approach your own stable looking for the newborn, guided by hope, the brightest star of you being.

The entity Jesus was loved and loved in return, but his mind drove him to be alone, for though too young to have established to his own satisfaction the nature of his being, he had tremendous hunger for wisdom. You would call this entity a child prodigy. The entity taught many, many more things than are written, and could continue teaching for an eternity, yet what has been recorded is typical enough of the teaching’s content in general that we do not choose to take this opportunity to adjust the teachings that are recorded. It is not only that there is some infringement upon free will, although that is part of our caution; we also do not wish to sway those who have not become interested in the Christ to alter their viewpoints.

Q’uo called Jesus a child prodigy and said that He taught many more things than are written about. In 17.20, Ra described how Jesus could have been seen as a child prodigy:

This entity studied first day and night in its own religious constructs which you call Judaism and was learned enough to be a rabbi, as you call the teach/learners of this particular rhythm or distortion of understanding, at a very young age.

At the age of approximately thirteen and one-half of your years, this entity left the dwelling place of its earthly family, as you would call it, and walked into many other places seeking further information. 

For above and apart from any writing about the Christ, there is the Christ, and that which this teacher, channel and representative of the Creator called the Holy Spirit, call it what you will. There are many, many avenues in which the Christ speaks to each whenever the inner ear is opened and the ear harks, not listening passively, but leaning forward and truly harking.

On November 18, 1990, Q’uo gave an example of this speaking to the inner ear:

That which this instrument calls the Holy Spirit—which many call guidance, or guides or inner masters—is able at all times to allow one to rest and to be comforted. When one allows oneself, finally, to love the self very deeply and passionately, one is then ready to serve. The master known to you as Jesus said that it was not he but the Father that strengthened him. So it is with you, eventually. You are more informed and more powerful in a personal sense than you realize quite often.

The concept of the Christ was this—that intelligent infinity as experienced by the Logos and with the bias of the Logos would enter a third-density experience, not erasing the one known as Jesus’ personality or being, but coming into the closest possible harmony with that being. There needed to be one who wished to sacrifice an incarnation to the ever-increasing pleasure and agony of the Creator, experiencing what this instrument would call the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, for it is the nature of the Christ and the nature of third density that the two, perceiving each other, should react—the third density with a lack of understanding, and the Christ with wonder, joy and sacrifice. Such is the sorrow of your illusion and the joy of sensation and communion.

In the end, Jesus the man became so able to bear both joy and agony that this entity stopped experiencing the Creator and for long periods of time became the Creator experiencing third density. Such is the perfect channeling of love. The achievement of the perfect channeling was the mystery of union between Creator and illusion.

This is exemplified in the Bible in John, Chapter 10:30 where Jesus said: “I and the Father are One.”

After this bonding, the burden of channeling rather rapidly began to tire the master teacher, Jesus. At the time of the crucifixion, as this instrument calls it, there were almost no tears left, there were no bones unbroken, there was no companionship that had not been betrayed in one form or another. Nevertheless, Jesus the Christ lived well and did not stop the channeling until the breath left the physical vehicle. We witness to this Christ with thanksgiving and joy, not suggesting that any worship or not worship, but celebrating the Creator poured into a channel who could share in full the nature of the Logos, the nature of Love, the Creator’s powerful, terrible Love.

In 17.22, Ra said that Jesus saw the Creator as Love and was a messenger of that Love:

This entity became aware that it was not an entity of itself but operated as a messenger of the One Creator whom this entity saw as Love. 

You ask what Jesus the Christ would think of the way your people celebrate Christmas. My friends, Jesus is very pleased. He is pleased [to see] all that is given and received of love, generosity and cheerfulness. This entity never confused the personal life that he lived with the Christ he channeled and in the end gave way to completely, but always knew the source and called it the Father. Call it what you will. We have no dogma or doctrine, but celebrate Love.

It is the Creator who is pleased that those who do celebrate the spiritual advent of light into the darkness. Yet that Creator will also celebrate the same event on another level in each of your lives, whatever your season of Christmastide may be, whenever your star beckons.

We find that the concentration has caused this instrument to become fatigued more rapidly than usual, thus we shall cease speaking through this instrument and attempt to transfer the contact, with apologies, to the one known as Jim, who is at this moment announcing to us in no uncertain terms that we are making the wrong move. We do not think so. We leave this instrument in love and light. We shall now transfer. We are Q’uo.

This morning I went outside and watered the flowers along the parking area in front of the house with the hose and watering wand. Then I set the sprinkler going on the Ruins Mound and began digging in the Tiger Lily patch again in an attempt to remove the roots of the Tiger Lilies so that they don’t spring up again amongst whatever shrub I decide to plant there. After about half an hour of digging I changed the position of the sprinkler to the Moss Garden. Then I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being Feeder’s Supply to buy 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 for lunch. My last stope was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription for myself.

This afternoon I continued digging in the Tiger Lily patch and was able to get most of it done. I should be able to finish it tomorrow morning.

If Your Soul Is Exhausted

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

How woefully inadequate is the being who shuts off the flood gate of spiritual information! How quickly will that soul, in its attempt to serve, find itself empty and exhausted!

When Jesus Christ left its Earthly incarnation, there was no leaving of the spirit of Love which this entity brought into manifestation from the Father. This inexhaustible source of energy and Love vibrates as we speak through this instrument and may vibrate as well to all who ask.

If you are weary, if your soul is exhausted in service, turn to the consciousness of Love and bask in the sea of joy and peace that awaits you. Open your channel to the water of infinite Love, that as you serve, you may not weary and as you love, you may not tire.

For there is a peace beyond weariness and tiredness. And it is in that holy peace we leave 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. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 30, 1986:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in love and light through this instrument. At this time we would ask if we might be of further service by attempting to answer those queries which may have risen into the minds of those present. Is there a query at this time?

H: Yeah, I have a question, and that is, what happens to all the soul/mind complexes that are not ready to be harvested into fourth density, who after the, really, the end of the 75,000 year cycle?

I am Q’uo, and of these entities we may say that there is an infinity of time to utilize in the progression into fourth density. These entities all, at the completion of their experience upon this planetary sphere, find another planetary sphere which is beginning its third-density cycle of evolution and move there upon that sphere and within its influence…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. May we answer in any further way, my brother?

In his first question H asked what happens to entities who don’t make the harvest after 75,000 years, and Q’uo answered by saying that entities who don’t make the harvest then move to another third-density planet that is beginning its third-density cycle. In 10.6, Ra described this process of repeating third density:

There are entities experiencing your time/space continuum who have originated from many, many places, as you would call them, in the creation, for when there is a cycle change, those who must repeat then find a planetary sphere appropriate for this repetition. It is somewhat unusual for a planetary mind/body/spirit complex to contain those from many, many, various loci, but this explains much, for, you see, you are experiencing the third-dimensional occurrence with a large number of those who must repeat the cycle. The orientation, thus, has been difficult to unify even with the aid of many of your teach/learners.

H: That’s all right now.

Questioner: Q’uo, in the moving to another planetary existence, would these third-density persons feel that they were still on the so-called planet Earth and feel as though they were remaining on the same planet that they are acquainted with?

I am Q’uo, and we may respond to you query in two ways. The first is to suggest that the lessons provided by any third-density planetary sphere are those which are ever and always the same, the learning to give and receive that which you call love without condition. Thus, the lessons will cause a remembrance and a familiarity of remembrance within the mind/body/spirit complex, as it is called, of each entity during the incarnational portion of each entity’s experience. In the inner realms, shall we say, which are inhabited between the incarnational experiences, these entities will be aware that the entity they now inhabit as a planetary sphere is unique unto itself, and is that which provides the new environment in which the lessons of love may be attempted.

May we answer further, my sister?

Questioner: Thank you.

Questioner: I would like to ask a question about the so-called “star children,” if they are different from wanderers, and in particular those who have a fourth-density body in activation, what is the difference? Is there a difference in their energy?

I am Q’uo, and of these entities we may suggest that there is inherent in their incarnational experience a greater depth of resources which may be called upon to fuel the incarnation, shall we say. These entities would not properly be called that which you know as the wanderer, for this sphere, your own Earth as you call it, is their home vibration for the fourth-density experience. They, however, are entering this planetary influence at an earlier time, in your terms, than is usual for a population which is to begin a fourth-density experience.

The honor of an early entry is for the purpose of aiding those of the planetary population who have yet to achieve the level of ability to give and receive love without condition. The atmosphere, shall we say, or nature of experience which is now available upon your planetary sphere as it nears and experiences its own harvest is of such an intense level that these entities may not only aid others in their progression towards third density, but also greatly accelerate their own beginning into that density of love and the perfection of that love.

Questioner asked what the difference was between star children and wanderers, and what is the difference between them and those with their fourth-density bodies in activation. Q’uo said that the star children are not the same as wanderers because Earth will be their fourth density home whereas wanderers come from other densities. Q’uo seemed to equate the star children with the entities that Ra said had dual-acitivated bodies and who had come to Earth early to be of service to Earth’s population. Ra gave a description of these entities with dual-activated bodies in 63.14-.15:

Questioner: You are saying, then, that for the transition from third to fourth density for one of the entities with doubly activated bodies, in order to make the transition the third-density body will go through the process of what we call death. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The third and fourth, combination, density’s body will die according to the necessity of third-density mind/body/spirit complex distortions.

We may respond to the heart of your questioning by noting that the purpose of such combined activation of mind/body/spirit complexes is that such entities, to some extent, consciously are aware of those fourth-density understandings which third density is unable to remember due to the forgetting. Thus fourth-density experience may be begun with the added attraction, to an entity oriented towards service to others, of dwelling in a troubled third-density environment and offering its love and compassion.

Questioner: Would the purpose in transitioning to Earth prior to the complete changeover then be for the experience to be gained here during the harvesting process?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. These entities are not Wanderers in the sense that this planetary sphere is their fourth-density home planet. However, the experience of this service is earned only by those harvested third-density entities which have demonstrated a great deal of orientation towards service to others. It is a privilege to be allowed this early an incarnation as there is much experiential catalyst in service to other-selves at this harvesting.

May we answer in any further way, my sister?

Questioner: Yes, please. Are they, then, entering just now into the fourth density themselves for the first time?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. This again touches upon the entire concept of the harvest for your planet and its population. This process is one which is in its beginning stages, and you may see your planetary sphere as that which is being born into the fourth density at this time, as you would call it. Thus, this illusion begins to take on new properties where thoughts tend more to become things and the power of the mind to influence the environment about it is more obvious and is of an increased nature. Thus, these entities of which you speak, those who have moved through a harvest from another third-density sphere and who have joined your own planetary sphere as the beginning population of its fourth-density experience, have entered the beginning of this experience which coincides with the completion of the third-density experience. Thus, the experiences overlap and it becomes somewhat of a semantic difficulty to describe whether it is of one nature or another. We have chosen to describe it to you this evening as the beginning of the fourth-density experience.

Now the Questioner asked if these dual-activated entities are entering into the fourth density for the first time. Q’uo responded by saying that the entire planet is entering the fourth density and these dual-activated entities are also entering this fourth density experience where the illusion itself is changing to the point that thoughts become things. On October 22, 1989, Q’uo said that this is the case at this time:

Each of you would be unable to incarnate at this time upon this particular sphere, were it not possible for each and every entity to graduate either service to self or service to others, third density; that is, each has the opportunity of learning to use a denser and much enhanced cohesion of light. In this atmosphere, as the instrument has often said, thoughts become things. And as you are entering at this time into fourth-density space/time, thoughts are becoming things, over and over again.

May we answer in any further way, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you very much.

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

Carla: I’d like to follow up on a previous question. There was a question about that when third-density people went to new planets, would they know that they were on a new planet, or would they think they were still on Earth. And I thought I heard in the answer that there would be some awareness of newness, and I was confused because, who knows, you know, where we were before this, because of the veil [of forgetting] and I would have thought that there would be the same veil on the same feeling that, you know, that this is just the way things are, then as there is now, regardless of what planet it would be on, it would [be] home, you know? And I wondered if you could clarify that for me, because I was a little puzzled.

I am Q’uo, and we have attempted to describe this experience as one which has a dual type of recognition of the experience of third density, that is, the recognition which partakes of the broader point of view available to those who await the incarnation within the inner realms…

Carla: Oh, before incarnation—thank you.

I am Q’uo, and if this point has been recognized, we shall discontinue the description. May we ask if there might be a further point upon this process to which we may speak?

Carla: No, thank you, my friend. I do have one further question which is on another subject. It came up tonight and I was rather interested in it, and didn’t know the answer, really—I was guessing. Are you a representative of Q’uo, having all of the information available to the group consciousness, or are you an impersonal principle, representing the best of the group consciousness in this service to Earth?

I am Q’uo, and as an individualized portion of a larger grouping of beings who seek in an unified fashion—which you may understand as a social memory complex—we have the honor of speaking to this group. When the concept of social memory complex is described in your terms, there arises the difficulty in distinguishing the singular individualized entity from the group of which it is a part. Therefore, the terms “I” and the term “we” are used interchangeably and each describes that of which we partake.

Here Carla asked Q’uo, basically, what type of consciousness they were: group or individual. Q’uo replied that they were a social memory complex and the Q’uo speaking to us was both and individual and group entity. Later we discovered that Q’uo was a principle composed of the social memory complex of Hatonn of the fourth density, of the social memory complex of Latwii of fifth density, and of the social memory complex of Ra of the sixth density. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Q’uo to be this specific in identifying themselves.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No, that’s fine. I understand what you’re saying, but I’m glad that there is an individualized person representing the social memory complex because I feel a lot of love from you, and I like to be able to return it, seeker to seeker. Thank you very much.

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

H: I’ve got one more little question. Well, actually it’s two questions, but, for instance, if I should die tonight, and, you know, my soul/body complex was harvestable to fourth density, would that, that would indeed take place, I assume without having to be reincarnated back into the third density. Okay, I assume that is right, but now, if that is, then what if I wasn’t harvestable, and I needed to be reincarnated again, or I was chosen to be reincarnated one more time, at what point, then, would I cease to be reincarnated as the third density itself ends?

I am Q’uo, and as the third-density experience upon your planet moves to its completion, there are available to those yet seeking the harvest to fourth density the opportunities to enter incarnation for as long as third-density conditions, for what you call the life patterns and physical vehicles available, pertain. We cannot give a specific length of time, for this is unknown depending upon the choices made by all those who currently inhabit your planetary sphere and its influence. We can assure you however, my brother, that there is as much time and opportunity available for any entity’s progress through the third density which would culminate in harvest as any entity may need. The specific location or choice of planetary sphere is, shall we say, incidental to that overriding fact of evolutionary possibilities.

Now H wanted to know what would happen if he died and he wasn’t able to be harvested into the fourth density, and what would happen if he needed to reincarnate again since the third density is near its end. Q’uo suggested that the end of third density is unknown but no matter how long or short each entity would have a chance to make the harvest on Earth or on another planet. In 40.8, Ra suggested there is still a goodly amount of time for making the harvest on Earth:

Questioner: Then what will be the time of transition on this planet from third to fourth density?

Ra: I am Ra. This is difficult to estimate due to the uncharacteristic anomalies of this transition. There are at this space/time nexus beings incarnate which have begun fourth-density work. However, the third-density climate of planetary consciousness is retarding the process. At this particular nexus the possibility/probability vortices indicate somewhere between 100 and 700 of your years as transition period. This cannot be accurate due to the volatility of your peoples at this space/time.

May we answer further, my brother?

H: Maybe what I should have said a while ago was, say like the third density, say like it ended one year from now. Okay, and add that in the meantime, would I go back and be reincarnated again just for a few brief months possibly?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We might suggest that this is possible, as are many opportunities of various natures possible. We suggest that one not worry overmuch as to how the specific functioning of the ending of a cycle occurs, for all movement of experience is enabled and ennobled by the love of the one Creator which exists within all things. Within your illusion, much is hidden from sight, yet if one may remember and have faith that all is truly well, for all is, indeed, one, then one may move most easily in harmony with all cycles which provide the opportunity to know the one Creator in each moment that presents itself to your notice.

May we answer further, my brother?

H: No more questions. Thank you.

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

Carla: Well, you spoke about service to others and the importance to others and having just one moment to show love to somebody else, but a lot of times people don’t react at all consciously to any kind of love that you show them or anything like that. You have absolutely no control over whether somebody’s ready to see love or whether his mind is somewhere else, you know. It’s really rare that you’re reflecting love and really in the groove and the person sees it that way all at the same time. Does that matter? I mean, when you were talking about bearing fruit, I thought to myself, “Well that’s tricky.” Could you comment on that?

I am Q’uo, and we may suggest, my sister, that you cannot know the result of any action or the fruit that shall be born from intention. That which is of importance in your own evolutionary process is your intention which motivates any thought, word or deed. To cast the bread upon the waters, then, without regard for whether they shall return in one form or another, or return at all, is that which is of most importance, for within your illusion, you only begin to see, and much is mystery. And that which you call faith, powered by that which you call will are the truest guides one may call upon, and all action and thought and word then which is activated by the intent to be of service and to share that which you know of as love become ennobled by that intent to love without condition. This cannot be affected or changed in any way whatsoever by how another might view that thought, word or action.

Now Carla wanted to know how effective it is to love somebody in the moment when you have no idea whether or not the love would be perceived or appreciated. Q’uo suggested that the most important element in the giving of love to another being is one’s intention since that is all you have control over. In 96.4, Ra mentioned this same value of one’s intention when they were commenting on our attempt to clean a new place of residence where we were considering moving to:

May we note that just as each entity strives in each moment to become more nearly one with the Creator but falls short, just so is physical spotlessness striven for but not achieved. In each case the purity of intention and thoroughness of manifestation are appreciated. The variance between the attempt and the goal is never noted and may be considered unimportant.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No, Q’uo, thank you very much.

Questioner: Q’uo, in the knowing that we are all one, that the love for all creates the One, does that not seem to be, does that not put an insurmountable load or cause for us to be very active or to be—it’s very difficult for me to say this, because it comes so unusual. To accept all as One, how can we thus aid all as One? How can we be of assistance in our love? How can we bring love to all as One?

I am Q’uo, and, my sister, since all are indeed portions of the one infinite Creator and move in harmony with that Creator, whether the harmonious pattern of movement is known consciously or not known consciously, one may have faith that the life pattern has been described and conceived in a fashion which will bring to one those opportunities to be of service to all which come before one’s notice and to share what you call love in a fashion which is most appropriate for each moment. Thus, it is not necessary, my sister, to look past the present moment and wonder at how it shall be possible to be of service and to radiate that love which one seeks in one’s life pattern, for that has been given to you to recognize in each moment if one will but turn the desire to seek the truth toward each moment and continue to find the face of the Creator in each face which meets yours, and, indeed, within your own face and within each portion of the environment which supports and surrounds you at all times. Thus, you have as a life pattern that which has been designed to provide you with opportunity after opportunity to give that which is possible and to find that love which is there.

Now the Questioner asked if all is One how can we bring our love to all. Q’uo said that we simply have to have faith that our life patterns will bring us the opportunities to share love with everyone that we meet because all are the Creator. As Ra said 53 times in the Ra contact:

All is well.

May we answer further, my sister?

Questioner: Thank you. I think you have answered it. It seemed to me the suffering on the Earth was more than I could handle, because I could seem to do nothing about it. And I think you perhaps you have given me a clue as to how to think on those things.

I am Q’uo, and we hope that we have been of some small service in that direction, my sister, for we realize the difficulty that any seeker of truth meets when looking upon the illusion which is your world. There is much of sorrow and suffering which seems without just cause and even more seemingly tragic without a possible resolution. We can only suggest to each that one attempt to look beyond the outer appearance of any situation and see the heart of all entities and events as being the one Creator knowing Itself in yet another way that might seem incomprehensible, yet in such mystery lies infinite potential for love to be found, for, indeed, there is no thing or being made of any other substance.

Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I’d like to know the condition of the instrument.

I am Q’uo, and we find that this instrument is available for another query or two before the fatigue removes its concentrative abilities. Is there another query at this time?

Questioner: Yes, I’d like to ask a question. I’d like to know what differences the fourth-density body would have compared to what we know as our third-density physical vehicles?

I am Q’uo, and we may describe in somewhat insufficient terms the nature of the fourth-density vehicle as being that which in your terms would be far lighter and more mobile, shall we say. However, in terms of the light which is contained within such a vehicle, we may say that it is more densely packed with this light, which gives it then the ability to demonstrate greater flexibility in travel, shall we say, and in the ability to project and receive thought impulses. This vehicle is one which will resemble the third-density vehicle which itself is patterned after a certain portion of your second-density population, that is, the ape form, which moved from the quadrupedal positioning of limbs to the erect position, and then achieved further modifications that enabled the further and fuller development of the mind complex. The fourth-density vehicle will continue in providing the opportunities for the development of the mind complex so that the effect of the mind will be more immediate and will provide a more instant feedback, shall we say, to an entity so that its learning experience will be greatly accelerated.

The Questioner asked what the differences between the third-density body and fourth-density body would be. Q’uo suggested a couple differences would be that the fourth-density body would be more densely packed with light and that communication would be telepathic. In 16.50, Ra gave a more detailed description of the fourth-density body:

Questioner: Thank you. Is it possible for you to give a small description of the conditions [in] fourth density?

Ra: I am Ra. We ask you to consider as we speak that there are no words for positively describing fourth density. We can only explain what is not and approximate what is. Beyond fourth density our ability grows more limited still until we become without words.

That which fourth density is not: it is not of words, unless chosen. It is not of heavy chemical vehicles for body complex activities. It is not of disharmony within self. It is not of disharmony within peoples. It is not within limits of possibility to cause disharmony in any way.

Approximations of positive statements: it is a plane of a type of bipedal vehicle which is much denser and more full of life; it is a plane wherein one is aware of the thoughts of other-selves; it is a plane where one is aware of the vibrations of other-selves; it is a plane of compassion and understanding of the sorrows of third density; it is a plane striving towards wisdom or light; it is a plane wherein individual differences are pronounced although automatically harmonized by group consensus.

May we answer further, my sister?

Questioner: Yeah. It sort of touched on that veil forgetfulness. When we enter the fourth-density bodies, will that veil then not be so? Would we be able to look backwards and see more of where we came from and possibly even forwards as well?

I am Q’uo, and, indeed, this ability—which we may describe as the far-seeing ability—shall be greatly enhanced, and the removing of that which is called—we find in this group—the veil of forgetting, is that which proceeds as a conscious process whereby the veil, having a large tear, shall we say, now allows the movement of consciousness through this tear so that the conscious efforts of an entity may continue in the dismantling of that which seems to separate one from another and the one Creator from the self, so that all begins to be put into a more unified perspective as a result of conscious efforts.

The Questioner asked her last question which was, in the fourth density will the veil of forgetting be gone, and will we be able to look back to see where we came from and also forward to see our future? Q’uo said that this was basically the case as one’s consciousness would be able to see more clearly the unity of all of the creation. In 85.19, Ra went into great detail to describe the conditions that one would experience without the veil of forgetting:

Questioner: I would like to carry that on to find out what specific functions of the mind were most effectual and the three or four most effective changes brought about to create the polarization.

Ra: I am Ra. This is an interesting query. The primary veiling was of such significance that it may be seen to be analogous to the mantling of the Earth over all the jewels within the Earth’s crust; whereas previously all facets of the Creator were consciously known. After the veiling, almost no facets of the Creator were known to the mind. Almost all was buried beneath the veil.

If one were to attempt to list those functions of mind most significant in that they might be of aid in polarization, one would need to begin with the faculty of visioning, envisioning, or far-seeing. Without the veil the mind was not caught in your illusory time. With the veil space/time is the only obvious possibility for experience.

Also upon the list of significant veiled functions of the mind would be that of dreaming. The so-called dreaming contains a great deal which, if made available to the conscious mind and used, shall aid it in polarization to a great extent.

The third function of the mind which is significant and which has been veiled is that of the knowing of the body. The knowledge of and control over the body, having been lost to a great extent in the veiling process, is thusly lost from the experience of the seeker. Its knowledge before the veiling is of small use. Its knowledge after the veiling, and in the face of what is now a dense illusion of separation of body complex from mind complex, is quite significant.

Perhaps the most important and significant function that occurred due to the veiling of the mind from itself is not in itself a function of mind but rather is a product of the potential created by this veiling. This is the faculty of will or pure desire.

May we answer further, my sister?

Questioner: No, thank you, but I wish to say that I really appreciated your answers and your love. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister, for the honor of responding to those queries. Is there a final query before we take our leave of this group?

Carla: I’d like to be really rude and ask the last question. I feel like the person at the banquet that takes the last roll. But I’d really like to ask this question because we’re thinking about bodies and I’ve wondered this before and forgotten to ask it.

I’ve noticed that we’re discovering a lot of subatomic particles like quarks and charm and nobody knows exactly what to do with them all, and there are all kinds of hare-brained ideas going around right now in physics. I know that the photon is a sub-sub-subatomic particle, and I was wondering, in fourth density is it possible that instead of a body being made out of atoms and molecules of elements and inorganic compounds, the way these bodies are, is it possible that fourth-density bodies are made of subatomic particles, held in the infinitely many gradations of electromagnetic fields that make a body, that hold a body together? Is it possible that the interpenetration of the fields is nothing more than the particles which make up those fields, being quite a bit smaller so that they interpenetrate because of the huge holes left by the distances the magnetic fields have between them in the third-density physical universe, seen from the perspective of a subatomic universe in a higher density?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We find that with this query you have moved into an area that partakes not only of the metaphysical realm, but of that which your scientists refer to as the physics of creation. We have a difficulty finding the proper terminology that we might transmit through this instrument to properly respond to your query. We find within the query such which is perceptive and which has begun to grasp more fully the nature of the construction of the fourth-density body.

The photon, which is the describable portion of light which makes up each portion of creation, within the fourth density begins a rotation and frequency of rotation which is stepped up from that which was experienced within the third-density illusion. The increased vibration, then, of the subatomic particles or photon, as we may generally refer to these particles, allows for what you have called an interpenetration of particles. The more dense placement, then, of these particles within a vehicle causes that vehicle to be more expressive of the properties of light. In your terms you would see this to becoming more radiant and more able to funnel or channel the intelligent energy of the one Creator in a specific fashion as a result of conscious intention.

May we speak in any more specific fashion, my sister?

Carla: No, I won’t strain the instrument at this time. It really helps to see that I’m on the right track here, because it’s always puzzled me that fourth was described both as lighter and denser. But I can see where if it were subatomic particles as opposed to atomic particles and molecules and chains of molecules, getting rather large there, that it would be a lot easier, a lot lighter to—a lot lighter matter. And also a lot easier to move around, which would explain the fourth density’s ability to create things by thought much more easily than we can. It explains a lot and thank you for your answer, and—I know I speak for all of us—thank you very much for coming.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. We indeed thank each present for inviting our presence this evening. It has been a great honor to be able to blend our vibrations with yours. We again humbly remind each that we are your brothers and sisters who move upon the same path as do you. Take that which we have given which has value to you and leave that which has no value, for we do not wish to place upon your path any stumbling block to it. We at this time shall take our leave of this instrument…

[Tape ends.]

This morning I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being at Walmart’s to buy some large nails to repair the arbor holding the Trumpet Vines in the back yard and some birthday wrapping paper. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some bananas. When I got home I began the digging process on the Tiger Lily Garden on the east side of the fish pond. The Tiger Lilies have not been producing flowers, so I need to dig up their roots and find another shrub that will thrive there with the amount of light and shade that is available.

This afternoon I continued digging in the Tiger Lily Garden and was able to get a good start made on this process. However, I decided to dig up two small Juniper trees in this garden and the one next to it and transplant them into holes in the Burning Bush hedge on the south side in the front yard.

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

August 28

The Secret Is To Remember

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

Whatever you have been doing, stop now. For a moment, experience the Creator within. Let this habit become more and more pronounced in the many moments of the daily round when the mind is otherwise under-occupied or unoccupied. In training the self to seek the Creator within, again and yet again and even yet again, in unending succession of moments, so does each seeker begin to glow from within with the consciousness of unconditional love which communion with the one infinite Creator does provide.

As a human you cannot love any without condition. Yet when you acknowledge the unconditional love that is the Christ self, the Creator self within, you may tap into an infinite source of energy, strength, power and joy.

And you may share that consciousness without even trying. The secret is to remember to remember the Creator. May you fare well in training the mind to bow to infinite love and compassion.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 30, 1986:

Concerns the harvest and the nature of the harvest, whether there is a physical death of the vehicle, and the types of entities that go through the harvest, the effect upon wanderers that have come here from elsewhere to be of service during the harvest. And so forth.

(Carla channeling)

I am Q’uo, and I greet you, my friends, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a privilege and a blessing for us to share the vibration of your meditation with you this evening and to join our beings with yours. We greet and bless each of you and especially those who have traveled far to hear our humble words.

It is a great privilege to be called to your group and to behold your light among all people, for those who seek are indeed the light of your illusion, and your call and desire establish within your illusion those sources of light which may be shared with others who seek that they too may find, and that they in turn may shine for others with the effulgence of the Creator whom we all serve and Who offers through any channel that will open itself to light a radiance that is much desired by those upon your Earth plane at this time.

You have asked about the harvest and so we shall speak upon that subject, first begging you to grasp the fact that we are not without error, but are in fact as you, seeking upon a path which takes us into mystery, and when we understand that which we did not understand before, then we find a greater mystery. So we have studied mystery upon mystery, and study still, and there is great mystery before us. How could we be infallible, we who are seekers upon a path as you, we who are your brothers and sisters? Just as you reach your hand to teach those who request the teaching, so we come to you with our experience and our thoughts, yet we would not be a stumbling block before you, and we ask you to use all discrimination in listening to our words. Accept those concepts which have use for you, and leave without a second thought those which do not.

You have chosen a large subject for this evening, and we will attempt to be tidy and brief in our discussion. However, we hope that you will forgive us if we ramble a bit, for there is some ground to cover, for the subject of harvest is not one subject, but two, and we would discuss the concept of physical change separately from the concept of harvest in the metaphysical sense.

You who dwell within the illusion of chemicals are very fond of your chemical arrangements, and, indeed, feel a great dependency upon them, as you should within the illusion. Yet you are confusing yourselves when you wonder what will happen to your physical bodies at harvest. We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator are concerned with the harvest of your spirits, that is to say, your mind, your body, and your spirit in their most unified and true form, this you call the spirit or soul.

Your physical Earth has moved at this time into an area of space which is fourth density in vibration, and your Earth is having some difficulty, due to thought implantation of tension and stress moving into the planetary mind, accepting fourth-density vibration. It is possible that there shall be geological disruption and meteorological confusionwhich exceed even the state of discomfort you have achieved at this time. This is a mechanical manifestation of changing energy web patterns and does not have significance insofar as your soul’s harvest time.

The third-density chemical body can for limited amounts of time, according to the unique vibration of an entity, exist for some portion of your time and experience within fourth-density space/time. Consequently, your physical bodies shall not all be removed in a trice, for harvest is a process rather than an event. Barring the use by your peoples of hostilities which could indeed destroy a large portion of your planet’s entities’ bodies, your incarnations and your children’s incarnations shall move to their conclusion in a physical sense, although you have already seen and will continue to see evidence of the difficulties which physical bodies have to finer vibrations, for the density which with your third-density eyes you cannot see yet impinges upon you more and more and represents an unseen but very real source of light which may indeed be too full of life energy for portions of your physical vehicle and of those about you.

The basic question in this session was the harvest into fourth density. However, Q’uo suggested that this concept be divided into the dropping of the physical body that they would discuss before moving on to the harvest of the mind/body/spirit complex or soul into the fourth density. As a portion of the physical body being left Q’uo said that there were also “geological disruption and meteorological confusion” that was affecting Earth as it also moves into the fourth density. In 60.20, Ra gave a detailed description of this process for Earth:

Questioner: Thank you. In trying to understand the energies, creative energies, it has occurred to me that I really do not understand why unusable heat is generated as our Earth moves from third into fourth density. I know it has to do with disharmony between the vibrations of third and fourth density but why this would show up as a physical heating within the Earth is beyond me. Can you enlighten me on that?

Ra: I am Ra. The concepts are somewhat difficult to penetrate in your language. However, we shall attempt to speak to the subject. If an entity is not in harmony with its circumstances it feels a burning within. The temperature of the physical vehicle does not yet rise, only the heat of the temper or the tears, as we may describe this disharmony. However, if an entity persists for a long period of your space/time in feeling this emotive heat and disharmony, the entire body complex will begin to resonate to this disharmony, and the disharmony will then show up as the cancer or other degenerative distortion from what you call health.

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.

We move now to discussion of harvest, a subject more nearly central, we feel, to that which may be of service to those who may listen to us.

How do you prepare to be, my friends? Is there any preparation for being? Perhaps you can see that there is indeed no preparation possible, for you are being at all times. We are here to inspire you not to be, but to take yourselves seriously as beings, in order that you may be more and more conscious of the value of your basic vibratory patterns, for it is your consciousness which shall be harvested, the consciousness that has striven and learned and borne fruit, the fruit of adoration and service and giving to the Creator and to the face of the Creator in all that there is.

The concept of an instantaneous harvest has not been helpful, we have observed, and we would discourage each from contemplating harvest as an event, for although we who are not within your illusion see your harvest as what seems to us to be, shall we say in your terms, an afternoon’s excitement, a cause for rejoicing that is all too short, yet we cannot translate our time to yours, for your time is that of planets revolving about a sun, and it is not the time of the timeless One which dwells in infinity and moves in light. Your time is a separator out of time, a unifier. How greatly you desire to know when you should be ready, when you should be prepared, and yet we say to you, it is this moment that you must be prepared and that you must be ready, and if you be not ready now, then you must work now, pray now, meditate now, surrender now and ask now to be channels for the love and the light of the one original Thought of Love which is the Creator.

Let us look at this in a slightly different way. Each of you moves down streets and into buildings through your work, your chores, and your social life, meeting one entity after another, entities which hope to receive something from you or avoid you, entities which may ignore you. It is unknown to you in advance whom you shall meet, and what that entity may wish from you, yet that entity may be desperately looking for love, not the love of the glad hand and the pat on the back, but the total and accepting love of compassion, the love without judgment, the love that flows through rather than from, each of you.

You may have only one moment to be a channel of love for the infinite Creator, to show His face to this entity. One moment, my friends, no more. Shall you be a channel for love, then? We know that you hope so. Yet if there is a moment when you are not a channel for love, then we ask you to go into mind and heart to search out these things which have kept you from being such a channel, and do your utmost to bring your consciousness to the consciousness of love. You do not know when your harvest shall come, yet we have been speaking with you and urging you to understand that these are indeed the final days of your third-density experiences.

Are you eager for fourth density, and do you wish to graduate? Then rest your anxieties and your burdens about the future, a future which may never come, and gaze instead upon your being that you may channel love now, for if you are not ready for harvest at this moment, perhaps the next moment may be too late. We do not wish to suggest, as this literal-minded channel wonders within her all too analytical mind, that we may be hinting that the harvest is now. No, my friends, not even next Tuesday, not next month or next year. We are not able to suggest these things to you, for when one moves from dimension to dimension, when one describes events that are indeed processes, when one speaks from time to time, the translation is at best approximate and fuzzy and unsatisfactory.

We wish only to train your mind upon your mind, upon the goal, to urge your legs to be strong to run the race, to urge you to actual present effort, not for others, but for yourself, for you cannot harvest another, but only yourself. Yet the harvest of yourself depends upon your relationship with the Creator and with the face of the Creator in yourself and those about you. And so in order to be more and more of the consciousness of Love, it is well to pay great attention to the way you perceive your other selves, your own selves, the Creator incarnate all about you.

Now Q’uo moves to the concept of the harvest and suggests that the portion of ourselves that will be harvested is our being, the being which we always are, the Creator which we have learned to serve as the Creator in all that there is. Q’uo went on to say that the time of harvest is an event which does not partake of time and suggested that we must work now in the present moment to be channels for the Love and Light of the Creator. In 14.14, Ra suggested that the harvest is now:

The harvest is now. There is not at this time any reason to include efforts along these distortions towards longevity, but rather to encourage distortions toward seeking the heart of self, for this which resides clearly in the violet-ray energy field will determine the harvesting of each mind/body/spirit complex.

But that “now” can be seen as longer than an instant or even a few years as Ra suggested in 40.8:

Questioner: Then what will be the time of transition on this planet from third to fourth density?

Ra: I am Ra. This is difficult to estimate due to the uncharacteristic anomalies of this transition. There are at this space/time nexus beings incarnate which have begun fourth-density work. However, the third-density climate of planetary consciousness is retarding the process. At this particular nexus the possibility/probability vortices indicate somewhere between 100 and 700 of your years as transition period. This cannot be accurate due to the volitility of your peoples at this space/time.

There are many who have incarnated among you from higher dimensions due to the lateness of the hour and the nearness of what you would call the midnight of the last day. There is much distress among your peoples and among those you call wanderers who have come to aid you, for we see that many are taking the concept of the harvest and turning again and again back to the illusion in order to express their desire for love. One cannot, among your peoples, mate two pears and receive an orange, nor can one improve outer things and receive inner blessing. Those things which you feel may make you comfortable and content, loved too dearly and valued too highly, may create for you a wavering of attention which denigrates and diminishes your being.

Try, then, to focus your energy, your desire and your seeking upon those things which are eternal, upon those values which are infinite, until you are so full of praise and adoration for the Creator, that you are indeed a channel for Love. It is well not to be dispassionate about your consciousness, nor about the Creator of that consciousness. Do you not love your parents, are you not grateful for the opportunity of experience that has been given you? Think, then, upon the value of knowledge, realization and understanding, if it does not end in love for the one infinite Creator and in a grateful desire to be for your Creator the hands that express love and the mouth that speaks of joy.

As we understand your time, the harvest shall be an event which is in process for many of your years. You shall come to it naturally, unless by your own artifacts you remove yourselves from your bodies. Be ready to die now. Be ready for harvest now. And then you are free to live for the Creator and in His service for however long you draw breath within the physical vehicle which loves you and has given itself to your use. Love it also, and see it as the helpful thing it is, but do not be its slave.

We rejoice with you that you experience third-density illusion at this time, that you have these choices to make, that you seek realization in darkness, in unknowing, and in great mystery. Know that no matter how rocky the road may seem and how blind may seem your choices, you are never without aid. You are never without comfort. You are never without confirmation. For the source lies within. The entire infinite creation exists within each of you. Each of you bears all that there is within the universe, for all its illusion is a thought, and you have thought it. And as you think it, so it shall be, from the smallest to the greatest. Let your universe be as kindly as the Creator, as full of love.

So Q’uo suggested that if, in this third-density illusion, we can become channels of love towards those around us and the Creator within all things that we can achieve the harvest at any present moment. In 51.1, Ra describe the process of harvest:

In time of harvest there are always harvesters. The fruit is formed as it will be, but there is some supervision necessary to ensure that this bounty is placed as it should be without the bruise or the blemish.

There are those of three levels watching over harvest.

The first level is planetary and that which may be called angelic. This type of guardian includes the mind/body/spirit complex totality or higher self of an entity and those inner plane entities which have been attracted to this entity through its inner seeking.

The second class of those who ward this process are those of the Confederation who have the honor/duty of standing in the small places at the edge of the steps of light/love so that those entities being harvested will not, no matter how confused or unable to make contact with their higher self, stumble and fall away for any reason other than the strength of the light. These Confederation entities catch those who stumble and set them aright so that they may continue into the light.

The third group watching over this process is that group you call the Guardians. This group is from the octave above our own and serves in this manner as light-bringers. These Guardians provide the precise emissions of light/love in exquisitely fastidious disseminations of discrimination so that the precise light/love vibration of each entity may be ascertained.

Thus the harvest is automatic in that those harvested will respond according to that which is unchangeable during harvest. That is the violet-ray emanation. However, these helpers are around to ensure a proper harvesting so that each entity may have the fullest opportunity to express its violet-ray selfhood.

You cannot do this upon your own, for you are finite within your density at this time. Yet infinity lies within you, and you may choose to channel an infinite Love which does not fail. The more you are in contact with this infinite Love, the more you may manifest it and so bear fruit, not fruit that you may judge as fruit, but fruit which adds to your beingness which the Creator shall see, bless and amplify.

Go into meditation regularly and faithfully and never condemn yourself for your lack of skill therein, for one instant’s tabernacling with the infinite One is all time and all space insofar as your deep mind is concerned. It is not length of time in meditation, but intensity of desire to seek the face of Love which will draw to you a deeper and clearer perception of that one great original Thought.

Q’uo suggested that we go into meditation to see the face of Love that will enhance our beingness even if we only contact the Creator for a brief moment. In 49.8, Ra suggested that we can listen to the Creator in meditation:

The passive meditation involving the clearing of the mind, the emptying of the mental jumble which is characteristic of mind complex activity among your peoples, is efficacious for those whose goal is to achieve an inner silence as a base from which to listen to the Creator. This is an useful and helpful tool and is by far the most generally useful type of meditation as opposed to contemplation or prayer.

You have companions along the way, my friends, and you were given them for a reason, for those who seek together may help each other, exhort each other, admonish, encourage and praise each other by turns, and every mistake that is made by one who is admonished or by one who admonishes falsely is made up for by the love which prompts the caring, the giving, the sharing, and the supporting.

Above all things, my friends, love each other, for you shall feel love only as you love others, only as you truly love yourself, not that which you see about yourself or others, but that which is beingness in yourself and others, that which is by definition perfected and whole, without flaw. You are acceptable to the Creator, for you are the Creator, my friends. Each of you carries the creation within consciousness. Your vibratory pattern, unique to you alone, is a unique holographic representation of the face of the Creator. How distorted is that face, how close to love has your perception, your beingness, your consciousness, come?

Now Q’uo suggested that we have companions along our spiritual journeys who can help us find the Creator within us. Ra also felt these companions were a great help on our spiritual journeys as they said in 83.17:

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.

Within the holy work you call your Bible, there is the parable of the maidens who await the bridegroom, who watch and pray and trim their lamps. Some there are who think perhaps they have a little time before the stroke of midnight, yet midnight comes, and the lamp, the light—the love—has not been lit, and it may be a long day before that midnight comes again, though come it will and there is no shame in studying a bit longer.

Thus, now is your harvest time. Now is when you shall be ready. And when you are ready, you shall be free, truly free in the service of the one infinite Creator as are we. We wish you the joy of that happy realization that you are through preparing. Celebrate your consciousness. Affirm it in all that is good, and if you feel that it is amiss, amend it, but do not prepare as for that which is in the future. Prepare as though, if we may use the same metaphor, the bridegroom knocked upon your door this minute, this hour, this night.

We have greatly enjoyed speaking with you upon this subject and would be glad to speak further, however we feel there are questions within the group, and would transfer the contact at this time in order that we may speak through the one known as Jim. Therefore, we would leave this instrument with thanks for its service. We are those of Q’uo, and we would transfer at this time.

This morning I ran a few errands with the first stop being at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought five more bags of mulch for the Hydrangea garden and looked for some kind of bush or shrub that I can replace the Tiger Lilies on the right side of the fish pond as they are not doing well. My second stop was at the Rainbow Blossom Health Food Store where I bought some Vitamin B Complex. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some ice cream. When I got home I spread the mulch in the Hydrangea Garden.

This afternoon I cleaned the filters on the fish pond as I noticed that the fountain was much lower than usual, and that is a sign of mud clogging the filters. Then I decided to mow the grass again as our recent rains have caused it to grow more quickly than usual.

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

August 28

The Secret Is To Remember

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

Whatever you have been doing, stop now. For a moment, experience the Creator within. Let this habit become more and more pronounced in the many moments of the daily round when the mind is otherwise under-occupied or unoccupied.

In training the self to seek the Creator within, again and yet again and even yet again, in unending succession of moments, so does each seeker begin to glow from within with the consciousness of unconditional love which communion with the one infinite Creator does provide.

As a human you cannot love any without condition. Yet when you acknowledge the unconditional love that is the Christ self, the Creator self within, you may tap into an infinite source of energy, strength, power and joy.

And you may share that consciousness without even trying. The secret is to remember to remember the Creator. May you fare well in training the mind to bow to infinite love and compassion.

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

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 23, 1986:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you again in love and light through this instrument. We are hopeful at this time that we might be of some further service by attempting to answer those queries which may be upon your minds at this time. May we begin, then, with the first query?

H: Yeah, I have just one question. Just reflecting back on today, I noticed that I had entertained many negative thoughts through my chores. Just one negative after another one all evening. Could all these negatives have taken their toll and caused back discomfort that I’m experiencing?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We may suggest that it is possible that some burdens of mind are so heavy to carry that the physical vehicle may represent this burden to the mind in the fashion which you have described. This, indeed, is possible. We, however, in observing your current condition, would not speak in any more specific terms, for we find that the beginning you have made in your own understanding according to your own intuition and conscious analysis is that which shall be most fruitful to you, rather than listening to a description which we may give. Therefore, my brother, we commend you to your own thoughts and feelings upon this subject, for it is within your own capacity to understand that you will find the greatest illumination.

H began with a question as to whether the negative thoughts that he had while doing his chores were responsible for the pain he was feeling in his back. Q’uo said that when one’s thoughts are so heavy a burden that they may be reflected by the body in the way that H had described. After this statement Q’uo suggested that H think more about his situation and find his own answers that would be of most help to him. In 61.7, Ra agreed with this general concept:

Questioner: Second question: could you give an example of how feelings affect portions of the body and the sensations of the body?

Ra: I am Ra. It is nearly impossible to speak generally of these mechanisms, for each entity of proper seniority has its own programming. Of the less aware entities we may say that the connection will often seem random as the higher self continues producing catalyst until a bias occurs. In each programmed individual the sensitivities are far more active and, as we have said, that catalyst not used fully by the mind and spirit is given to the body.

May we answer in any further capacity, my brother?

H: No, that’s all for tonight, thank you.

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

Questioner: Q’uo, will I make the ascension in this lifetime?

I am Q’uo. My brother, as we look upon your beingness, we smile, for within each entity, including your own self, there lies a roadmap which has as its destination the complete realization of one’s nature, origin, purpose and destination, if you will. There is an infinity of possibility which resides not only within your own life pattern, but that of each seeker within your illusion.

For us to speak as to whether one particular outcome shall result in place of another would be foolishness upon our part, and would presume much, for the Creator that is within each entity has far greater depth, breadth and variety of possibilities and purpose of being than our limited vision could ever hope to encompass were we to speak in a definitive manner upon this subject. We would be assuming that which cannot be assumed or predicted.

But we can assure each seeker of truth that that which is necessary for the continued progression of one’s life pattern will constantly be presented to one in each day and each experience, for each day and each experience that comes before your notice contains in symbolic form layer upon layer of understanding that is available to you as you penetrate it with your conscious perception and your meditative and prayerful desire to seek beyond the outer appearance of all illusion and penetrate to the heart of being.

Here the Questioner asked Q’uo if he would make the ascension in this lifetime. Q’uo suggested that each seeker of truth has the eventual destiny to make the ascension, but that the roadmap for each is unique and infinite in possibility as the Creator within each person expresses itself daily in one way or another that the seeker may use as another step on the path of ascension. On April 1, 2006, Q’uo gave a general description of the ascension process:

The role of the guardians is to care for and be a steward to the people and the planet. During the ascension process, the guardians stand by the steps of light which are walked by those who are moving ascension or graduation. They look carefully to be sure that the gradations of light are precise, steady and stable. They look to be sure no one stumbles or is confused, for they wish each to walk comfortably into the light until they have chosen their most comfortable place. So they guard the sanctity of this process. It is by this process that each decides or chooses the nature of its next experience. If walking into the light and stopping one has stopped at a place that is yet in third density, then that entity shall next incarnate in another third density planet elsewhere. For the planet you call Earth has begun its fourth density positive incarnation and is even at this time accepting new entities as they graduate through the natural processes of death.

May we answer in any further way, my brother?

Questioner: How may I best tune or raise my vibration?

I am Q’uo. Again, our response is that which is of a general nature, and that which any seeker may be able to apply to the life pattern. Know that all you experience is the Creator. See in each face that greets your own the Creator. Seek in each experience the source of light and love that forms experience. Seek beyond the illusion of separation that which binds all that you experience. Look, in other words, my brother, beyond the outer appearance of the illusion which surrounds you, for it is in its own way that which teaches you that the source of all creation and experience within it is the one Creator which moves by the power of Its Love, and reveals by the power of Its Light the unity of all things.

The Questioner asked Q’uo how it could raise its vibrations, and Q’uo said to look beyond the illusion of the third density and see the Creator’s Love and Light in everyone and everything. Ra suggested the same thing in 10.14:

Questioner: For general development [of the] reader of this book, could you state some of the practices or exercises to perform to produce an acceleration toward the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra.

Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking powers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

Exercise Two. The universe is one being. When a mind/body/spirit complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator. This is an helpful exercise.

Exercise Three. Gaze within a mirror. See the Creator.

Exercise Four. Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit complex of each entity. See the Creator.

The foundation or prerequisite of these exercises is a predilection towards what may be called meditation, contemplation, or prayer. With this attitude, these exercises can be processed. Without it, the data will not sink down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the body and touching the spirit.

May me answer further, my brother?

Questioner: No, thank you.

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

Carla: I’d like to re-ask a question that B asked. I was dissatisfied with my answer to it, and I would like you to tackle it.

Are the contacts that we have with densities more conscious and more easily obtained but less accurate at lower densities and with more of a tendency towards a deeper state and finally trance and more accurate information at higher densities, or what is the situation with regards trance, accuracy and density?

I am Q’uo, and we look upon this query as one which is more complex than its brevity of statement would suggest. We might indicate a direction for thought in suggesting that the term accuracy is that which somewhat befuddles understanding in this instance, for what seems accurate to one may not seem accurate to another. There is one truth, and many applications of that truth. That truth we see as unity of all things. There are refinements of understandings of various sources that would choose to communicate to those who call for their aid in the evolutionary process. Thus, as various entities within your illusion continue upon their path of seeking, their continued seeking and desire to know that which you call the truth calls unto them assistance from those who are able to respond in a manner which satisfies the call.

The level of understanding of any particular entity will determine, then, that which is called for as a further addition to that understanding, a further refinement to that which has been gained in experience and in thought. Those such as we and others, who respond to these calls for assistance in gaining a wider understanding of self and creation, provide information which is fitted to that call, and provide it in a manner which is also suited to enhancing the greatest amount of understanding on the part of those who call.

In the specific technique of response known as vocal channeling, this being one among many techniques of communication, there are further refinements as you have noted in this manner of response, those which utilize the more conscious type of channeling such as we utilize with the instruments present this evening, and moving toward the less conscious, as you call it, and more passive, or, as you have called it, trance level of communication. This allows the source or transmitter to provide information of a more refined nature.

The accuracy, however, of such information is dependent upon the information sought and the perspective of the source which responds. The use of greater or lesser degrees of trance allows for the possibility of a more refined type of information to be transmitted.

At this moment, we shall pause in our response to ask if there may be a further refinement of the query, if we have not been clear in our response.

Now Carla asked what the relationship between the trance state and the accuracy of channeling was as we move up in the densities. Q’uo suggested that the accuracy of channeling in general is due, not to the density level, but to the degree of trance which is utilized by the channel. On January 29, 1989, Q’uo said that the Confederation preferred conscious channeling over trance channeling:

We are aware that there had been a question earlier within the group concerning a trance channeling versus the conscious channeling and speaking only for the Confederation of Planets, we find that in most cases we do prefer that the instrument be in less than a complete state of trance. We enjoy the state this instrument is in, which is a, shall we say, medium amount of relaxation compared to sleep, but within the range which we find this instrument would call alpha.

Carla: I believe that what you’re saying is that you have such a simple message that the most conscious channeling is accurate if it talks about love, and I accept that understanding. I do have another question—if that is wrong, please interrupt me.

The other question has to do with the reason that R asked the question that you responded to this evening. Since I was channeling, I didn’t catch all of it, but listening to what I could, it seemed to me that R will still have many questions, because her perspective is that of a person who lived for a goodly number of years, like thirty-five, maybe…

[Side one of tape ends.]

R lived for at least thirty years as a relatively garden variety person, and then her psychic abilities opened up very rapidly and very undistortedly, from everything that she’s told me and all that that I’ve observed. Tremendous amounts of phenomena are occurring with her, everything from spontaneous hearings at long distances to many, many prophecies, visions and the ability to see everyone’s electrical body, whether she wants to or not. It’s a very uncomfortable situation; it’s changed her life a great deal. Her consciousness has suddenly become a very packed bunch of phenomena happening one after another, and she wants to know, really, I think, how to direct all of this. The answer that you gave simply had to do with surrendering to a greater will, a greater love, a greater way. Is there anything that you can add, having to do specifically with phenomena, with psychic abilities and the use of clear metaphysical senses for the good of others or service to others?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. In addition to that which we have transmitted previously this evening, we might suggest that as the eyes of one become opened to a degree where the experience becomes enriched with phenomena which are somewhat incredible and unexpected and continuous in nature and therefore unsettling to one’s personal experience, that there not be given to such phenomena too great a consideration or importance, for the eyes which have lost some of the blinders that caused the focus to move within a narrower realm and which now see with a wider perspective, it must be remembered at all times that one views portions of the one Creator.

When these phenomena tend to overwhelm the senses, it is well for the one experiencing this greater view to exercise that quality known as faith, faith that the one Creator moves before the newly opened eyes from patterns of perfection that yet lie beyond understanding, yet move in a manner which fulfills the desire of the Creator to know Itself. The faith that all is well, no matter what any part of the vision may tell the conscious mind, then must be powered by the will to serve the one Creator in as pure and unconditional fashion as is possible, for the greater sight brings the greater responsibility to use that vision in a manner which is of service to others. Yet with that responsibility, it is well not to be overly concerned with the nature of the phenomena which present themselves in the life experience.

Now Carla asked about a friend of hers whose psychic abilities opened up very quickly so that she was experiencing all kinds of phenomena that was very uncomfortable for her to do, and her question was, besides surrendering to a greater will, was there anything that she could do with her psychic abilities to serve others. Q’uo suggested that Carla’s friend utilize the faith that her psychic gifts were means by which the Creator could know Itself and that all is well and that these gifts can be used to be of service to others while remaining unconcerned about the basic nature of the psychic abilities. On June 22, 1980, Latwii had this recommendation as to how to use one’s psychic abilities inservice to others:

You must understand that there are individuals whose psychic abilities may remain largely unknown even to themselves but who use astrology or Tarot or other occult mechanisms in order to focus their abilities to see clearly those things which may help the individual. In those cases the so-called astrologer sees much more than in a chart, the reader of Tarot reads much more than cards, and so forth. When you run across an individual such as this, recognize that individual for what he or she may be and treat the information accordingly without putting too much stress upon the mechanism by which this information was obtained.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

Questioner: Yes, Q’uo. In the personality split within the individual, the higher self apparently operates without the conscious knowledge of the person. Does it read that road map that you spoke of for us and help guide us, or is it simply out there and responding to whatever the conscious person does?

I am Q’uo. The relationship of that portion of your being which you have called the higher self to that which is your conscious self within this illusion is one in which guidance is offered where possible, realizing that the free will of the conscious entity is that which is paramount in the evolutionary experience of any seeker of truth.

However, it must also be realized that the guidance which the higher self offers to you during each incarnation is a guidance which not only occurs during the incarnation, but is that which with your intention and agreement before the incarnation, sets out the possibilities that are analogous to what you have called the roadmap that would be available to the conscious entity during the incarnation. Thus, the incarnation is the point at which the predetermined purpose and direction of the incarnation meets the free will exercised by each entity during the incarnation.

There are points within each incarnation where the higher self will be more able to guide and at times even protect the conscious seeker. When the conscious seeker provides what may be seen as a call for assistance, such a call may be generated in many ways. The most usual means of generating such a call is a rededication upon the part of the seeker to move in a manner which suggests the desire to serve others has been increased and the conscious will of the seeker is surrendered so that what may be seen as a greater will may move through the seeker’s incarnational pattern and allow it to fulfill that which is its desire to serve others as the one Creator.

Here the Questioner asks if the higher self can take over an entity’s consciousness and guide it according to a road map, or does it just respond to what the entity does of its own free will. Q’uo suggested that the free will of the entity is of paramount importance although, according to pre-incarnative agreements, the higher self can provide more guidance, especially when the seeker expresses a greater desire to be of service to others. In 36.7, Ra gave the nature of the higher self’s participation in an entity’s spiritual evolution:

Questioner: In that case my higher self would, shall we say, have a very large advantage in knowing precisely what was needed since it would know what… as far as I am concerned, what was going to happen. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect, in that this would be an abrogation of free will. The higher self aspect is aware of the lessons learned through the sixth density. The progress rate is fairly well understood. The choices which must be made to achieve the higher self as it is are in the provenance of the mind/body/spirit complex itself.

Thus the higher self is like the map in which the destination is known; the roads are very well known, these roads being designed by intelligent infinity working through intelligent energy. However, the higher self aspect can program only for the lessons and certain predisposing limitations if it wishes. The remainder is completely the free choice of each entity. There is the perfect balance between the known and the unknown.

May we answer further, my brother?

Questioner: Thank you. That seems to be satisfactory.

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

Yes, Q’uo. When will the United States currency be changed? And what will be the change, rate of exchange? And will gold and silver at the same time go up, and how high?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We look upon this type of information as that which is of the moment’s interest, if you will pardon the pun. We are aware that many seek answers to these queries, yet we are also aware that knowing this kind of information lends little to the spiritual understanding, shall we say, that does the actual work in one’s consciousness.

There are many events occurring upon your world stage, shall we say, that seem interesting and even at times important. Yet we might suggest that these are but training aids that will allow the seeker of truth to penetrate beyond the appearance of importance to the heart of all things, which is love, and which binds all entities together, whether their part upon the stage of the world may seem that of the villain attempting to control those about it with the tools of your cultures. Each seeks in a more or less distorted fashion to serve the one Creator in its own way. Many are the side roads upon this journey.

In our attempts to speak to those gathered within this circle of seeking, we seek to point the attention of each to the main thoroughfare, if you will, which leads beyond the illusion of appearance and in our humble opinion allows the seeker to gain that which is of truer value [than] any currency could hope to equal. Thus, we do not mean to be shy of information in this kind of seeking, my brother, but we might suggest that such information lies outside of our purpose in speaking to groups such as this.

Here the Questioner asked Q’uo about when the United States currency would be changed and how high would gold and silver go in value. Q’uo suggested that this type of question was not pertinent to the spiritual journey and should be looked upon as superficial regarding the true purpose of the spiritual path being to find the love in the moment which Ra suggested was the nature of our purpose in the third density as they said in 10.14:

The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density.

May we respond in any further way, my brother?

Questioner: No, thank you.

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

Questioner: Yes. It’s indicated that in each incarnation the soul to a certain extent picks and chooses its next physical body and at the same time its environment. At what point in development of the fetus, roughly, does the soul enter the fetus?

I am Q’uo, and in this area we may suggest that there is a variety of nexi of entrance that is possible. Some there are who enter at the point of conception, some there are who are more reluctant, shall we say, at the last moment, as you would call it, and wait the entry until shortly after the birthing process. Within this range lie the many possible points of entry, each uniquely variant according to the soul entering.

Now the Questioner asked when the soul would enter the fetus, and Q’uo said that there was no fixed time as it could be at conception or just before birth or anywhere in between. On April 19, 2009, Q’uo gave an example of when the soul would enter the fetus at conception:

There are other times, especially when the mother has awakened and is on a spiritual path, that the entity and she have great plans together for learning and for service. Generally speaking, such an entity, coming into the body of the fetus, shall come in earlier in the pregnancy in direct relationship with the intensity of the desire of mother and child to work together. In those cases where a child has been dearly desired for a long time, it is overwhelmingly likely that this is the case. And instead of a fetus that does not [yet] contain the soul, the fetus is ensouled very soon after conception, or, in some cases, at conception.

May we respond further, my brother?

Questioner: I wonder if this would have a basis because of this varying time period, for the Catholic religion’s concept of the necessity of baptizing the baby immediately, even just prior to an after birth death in order to save that soul?

I am Q’uo. Many are the perceptions of the point of entry and the necessary rituals to seal and secure that entry of the soul into the physical vehicle. Many have been codified through the various religious and cultural practices of your peoples. That religion of which you speak is one which views the sanctity of the relationship of soul to physical vehicle in such a fashion that the immediate recognition of the validity of any life, no matter how short, is that which is paramount in the practice.

May we respond further, my brother?

Questioner: Thank you, that’s satisfactory.

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

Carla: Is any soul ever lost?

I am Q’uo, and in our range of knowledge which is admittedly limited, my sister, we are aware of no soul which has been lost to the point of being unable to be found or redeemed.

May we respond further, my sister?

Carla: Does that include those who are aborted? After they have chosen a body? Is there indeed murder in abortion?

I am Q’uo, and we find that our response will be perceived according to the point of view which one holds according to the physical vehicle’s relationship with the spirit which enlivens it.

We may respond to the first portion of your query by suggesting that there is no soul lost, if by lost one means unredeemed and not capable of being able to continue its evolutionary journey when that process you have called abortion occurs. However, in such an instance there is the removing of vitality from the physical vehicle which within most of your cultures’ definitions would equal that you have called murder. However, we suggest that the spirit which may inhabit any physical vehicle is not lost or irretrievably blunted in its search for incarnational experience by the act of the aborting.

May we answer further, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

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

Questioner: If no one else has one, I’d like to ask another one. If I recall correctly, Edgar Cayce indicated that some of the records from Atlantis have been placed in, I think, an area in Egypt, perhaps one of the pyramids. One set of the records apparently had gotten destroyed and he indicated, I recall, that another set of records were still available and probably would be found. Can you comment on this?

I am Q’uo, and we might suggest that the recovering of these records is a possibility which exists for the current population of your planetary sphere. We, however, can speak in no way whatsoever as to the means of this discovery or its carrying out, for we do not wish to infringe upon the free will of any.

The Questioner asked about records that Edgar Cayce spoke of regarding Atlantis that were under one of the pyramids in Egypt, and he wanted to know if this was true. Q’uo felt any answer would infringe on his free will which was the case when Don asked Ra about such records in 64.9:

Questioner: The question was brought up recently having to do with possible records left near, in, or under the Great Pyramid at Giza. I have no idea whether this would be of benefit. I will just ask if there is any benefit in investigating in this area?

Ra: I am Ra. We apologize for seeming to be so shy of information. However, any words upon this particular subject create the possibility of infringement upon free will.

May we respond further, my brother.

Questioner: Do I understand that by your answer you are in the affirmative that the records do exist?

I am Q’uo, and this is correct, my brother. May we respond further?

Questioner: Thank you.

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

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and as it appears that we have exhausted the queries for this evening, we shall at this time give our heartfelt thanksgiving to each for allowing us to join your group this evening. It is an honor which we cherish to be able to speak our humble words to those who seek to know more of that which is the creation, the Creator, and the love which ennobles and enables each seeker to move through the one creation. We remind each once again that our words are but opinions. Weigh each with your own discrimination, taking that which has value and leaving that which has none for you. At this time we shall take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I drove back to the Frank Otte Garden Center to pick out some flowers that I could plant in the flower garden in the center of the Moss Garden as the deer have eaten almost all of them on the west side. I got most of them planted before lunch.

This afternoon I finished transplanting the flowers and then I drove over to Thieneman’s Nursery to buy a dozen more flowers to finish the transplanting job. I also bought another 10 bags of mulch, and when I got home I transplanted the flowers and covered them with the netting that I use around the fish pond to keep raccoons from eating the fish, but this time I am using it to keep the deer from eating the flowers.

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

August 27

The Singular Way

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

Only the fool sets about examining the life of the builder of all things, thinking that by this man and by that man shall come forth lessons of wisdom which may be picked and chosen among for the benefit of the self.

The wise man sees the singular way, the way of commitment, trust and belief. We of the spirit of the love of Jesus the Christ cannot say to anyone, “Follow the Son of God. Become Sons and Daughters of God.” For that would be presumptuous. For not all are ready to make such a decision. Yet if you follow Jesus the Christ, follow Him not as an inspired teacher among others but as the Son of the living God. For the riches of the love of Jesus the Christ open themselves like precious jewels in the heart of him who trusts and believes.

Such are the ways of love and peace and in that peace we leave you, 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 November 9, 1986, and is out of order with the current Q’uo quotes because it is the portion of the November 9, 1986 channeling that came when Q’uo transferred the contact to me, and I forgot to include it in my Camelot Journal entry at the proper time. Better late than never!

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each of you once again in love and light through this instrument. We are pleased that we have been able to make our contact available once again through this instrument, and it is our hope at this time that we might be able to attempt to respond to any queries which those present might find value in the asking. Again we remind each that our responses are our opinions and the fruit of our own seeking, which we would hope that each would weigh with the inner discrimination that speaks to the heart, taking that which rings of truth and leaving that which does not. At this time may we ask if there might be a question to which we could respond?

D: I have been in contacts associated with two other channeled entities, you being the third, each of whom has a vastly different perspective and approach to teaching and communicating. I wonder if you could clarify those differences, those various perspectives, those… why an entity seems to be, for instance, to emphasize information as opposed to another entity which might emphasize energy or intuition? This seems counter to my expectation that entities operating on planes above our own would have the facility to tailor their responses and their teaching more to the individual who seeks rather than to have so strong a predisposition on their own.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that there are a number of concepts within this query which are relevant. Each entity which seeks does so in a unique manner, from a point of view that is similar to many but unique unto itself, and calls for information that will be helpful in continuing to expand its scope of experience and understanding.

There are many, many ways by which a call may be answered. The vocal channeling is one of many potential responses to any seeker’s request for aid. Within this phenomenon is found a great variety of sources and resources which may choose to be of service in providing information or inspiration or any kind of guidance which may answer a seeker’s call.

Many upon your planet who seek in a conscious fashion the nature of their reality and their being assume that that which is yet unknown is also homogeneous, whereas it has been our experience that the portion of the creation which lies beyond the reach of your senses and your understanding is as varied and rich as that which you experience within your illusion, within your portion of the creation.

Those who would seek to move in service to seekers upon your planetary sphere, and who are seen by those within your illusion as being beyond or external to your illusion, are as unique as each on your planet and each offers itself as it is in full in the attempt to be of service. To be of the most service possible, we have found it is necessary to be what one has discovered in the way of uncovering mystery and moving along the path of unity with all that is. As one then offers the fruits of one’s own journey, one offers that which is unique and colored by experience.

Each portion of the Creator, which each source and seeker is, moves likened unto a planetary body about a great central sun or truth. The sun shines equally upon each, yet each from a unique point of view sees that sun and is warmed by it according to the position from which one orbits and views that sun. Thus do we and all others who offer themselves in the service of the vocal channeling offer that which is ours to offer, that is, the fruit of our experience, that those who seek information or inspiration might consider that which is offered for its potential use in furthering the journey of seeking for the self and in sharing that journey with yet others who may benefit from such sharing.

D had contacts with two other channels who channeled source that had various ways of expressing their messages both rational and intuitive, and he wondered why these entities didn’t try to tailor their messages to the seekers listening to them rather than have their own biased opinions. Q’uo responded by saying that both seekers of truth and those who seek to aid such seekers in their search for truth are unique in their means of seeking as well as in their means of offering thoughts of service to the seekers of truth. In 76.10, Ra spoke to this same point when they were referring to the archetypical mind of various Logoi, each of which would refine archetypical mind of the Primal Logos in unique ways:

Questioner: Would I be correct in saying that our local Logos, in acting as co-Creator, distorted to some extent, for the purposes of experience, that which we experience here? And that the archetypes of this particular Logos are somewhat unique with respect to the rest of the creation, but are of course related to the all in that they are part of it, but are, I can only say, a unique part, and that the systems of study that we have just talked about would not translate quickly or easily in other parts of the creation. This is a very difficult question to state. Could you clear that up for me?

Ra: I am Ra. We may draw from the welter of statement which you offer the question we believe you ask. Please re-question if we have mistaken your query. The archetypical mind is that mind which is peculiar to the Logos under which influence you are at this space/time distorting your experiences. There is no other Logos the archetypical mind of which would be the same any more than the stars would appear the same from another planet in another galaxy. You may correctly infer that the closer Logoi are indeed closer in archetypes.

May we answer in any further way, my brother?

D: I think my difficulty with the question stems in part from an assumption that those entities such as yourself and others in my experience who seek to serve in this way by virtue of their position at their level, so to speak, have attained a level of being—they include so much more than our minds can know while we are here—that from our perspective there should appear to be more uniformity than there is. I don’t think I’ve worded that very well.

I am Q’uo, and we feel that we grasp the sense of your query and will respond in a manner which we hope will be of service. Please query further if we do not speak to the heart of your concern.

As we mentioned in our previous response, the experience which lies seemingly beyond that which is common among your peoples and toward which each seeker moves is an experience that, though it continues to move closer into the harmonious understanding of all that is, yet moves further into the mystery that undergirds all manifestation that is seen and experienced as creation. Though one may know certain things about creation and one’s own being and movement through the creation, yet such knowing continues to discover more of the infinite mystery that lies at the heart of all creation and seeking.

We who have had the privilege of moving a short distance further upon this journey than have those of your peoples begin to grasp more of this mystery, yet we also understand that there is much which awaits our understanding. Thus, those who are what you may call “in advance” of the level of seeking of your peoples yet seek with the same diversity the one mystery which draws all unto it. Though all experience more…

[Side one of tape ends.]

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet you again through this instrument. We shall continue.

Those who are in advance of your own level of seeking, shall we say, have yet the configuration of identity which perceives similar truths in various fashions, all seeking to refine the understanding, until all not only understand but become that which is sought. There will be variation for a great portion of your experience beyond that which you now experience. The journey of evolution, my brother, is one which extends far beyond your own illusion and contains that which is rich and varied enough to allow for an infinite variety of points of view, all pointed toward the same truths, but seen from different perspectives and shared in that fashion.

Now D refined his question by saying that entities in the higher densities like Q’uo is in have attained an understanding of evolution that the human mind has difficulty in grasping, so these higher density entities should be able to offer a more uniform description of our spiritual journeys.  Q’uo responded by saying that they are much like we are in the third density, having gone only a bit further into the mystery of creation so that the further they move, the more mystery they encounter, and each perceives this mystery in a unique way. On May 13, 1990, Q’uo shared a variety of ways in which the mystery of creation may be experienced:

The discipline that you exercise when you focus your desire and the energy of love that is yours may be used for whatever purpose, be that purpose to master the personality, to control events or entities, to seek more knowledge of the mystery of creation, or simply to seek union with the One, that whatever may flow from that union may flow through you, as you are a hollowed vessel that has given itself in service to the One, that each of its portions with which you come in contact might be blessed and benefited. Thus, discipline is a tool as any other that may be used for whatever purpose is chosen.

May we answer further, my brother?

D: Thank you very much.

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

Carla: Thank you for explaining as much as you did, because I was wondering, having heard many a closely reasoned argument from you myself about the emphasis on mystery, but I think I grasp what you’re driving at. Thank you.

I am Q’uo. We appreciate the opportunity to speak in any fashion which is requested, and we would ask if there might be any final queries to which we may respond before taking our leave of this group?

D: I don’t really have a question—I’ve just kind of been wrestling quite a bit lately with the concept of self-love, attempting to understand a little more how to accept myself and how to love myself more, and I guess I don’t really have a question, but do you have any comments that might provide any sort of illumination on that subject? Anything would be appreciated.

I am Q’uo, and, my brother, we can suggest that as one considers the daily experience and all who move through it, that one is seeing various aspects of the self when one notices and responds to any particular person, trait, word, deed or activity, for the manner by which one perceives the environment about one is congruent with the manner by which one perceives the self, and we have found that the opposite is also true—that as one perceives the self in a certain manner the environment about one is reflected in an equal fashion so that there is really nothing but the self, be it small or great, which comes before one’s attention and upon which one may work.

As you are able to find qualities and experiences within the self and within the environment which you are able to accept more and more freely, then you are accepting further portions of the self and may then use that acceptance to find other portions of the self and the greater Self about one which then move into the focus of attention for the work in consciousness which will allow further acceptance of the self within the Self and within all other selves.

Now D asks Q’uo how he might be able to love and accept himself. Q’uo had an interesting response by suggesting that how one looks at the environment around the self is actually a mirror of how one feels about the self, and if one can accept more about the self one can feel more love and acceptance of the environment as well. Eventually one is able to feel more acceptance of the self as part of the greater Self. On May 15, 1983, Latwii suggested how we can see how we feel about the environment around the self as being a mirror of how we see and accept our selves:

The concept of allowing the self to move along the path of evolution in a free and open manner is a concept which has meaning to an entity which works with the blue-ray energy center of the throat. Such a configuration of energy is then experienced by the seeker in a manner which promotes the clear communication of the self with the self and with other selves, accepting the self and other selves and freely expressing the self to all which surround the self. In this manner the giving of freedom and acceptance to others springs from the giving of freedom and acceptance to the self for you are also a mirror and reflect that which is your being to those about you.

May we speak in any further fashion, my brother?

D: No thank you. That’s fine.

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

D: Yes, if I can take a minute to formulate it. If thoughts are real and exist on a level of which we are relatively unaware, I would presume that you would be much more fully aware of that level on which our thoughts exist as things. If that presumption is correct, I’m curious to know in general with entities who teach such as you do, if there often is a clearer perception of our questions—such as I’m trying to form now—than I’m able to put into words. To what extent are our thoughts apparent to you though our words in communicating those thoughts are sometimes less than adequate?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. In attempting to respond to those queries which are asked of us, we attempt to utilize the query itself and any appended emotions or unspoken considerations when it is possible to do so without infringing upon an entity’s free will. This is to say that if we were able to read more precisely than one has been able to formulate within one’s conscious mind that which was sought, there would be the risk of accomplishing work for an entity which the entity would better benefit in accomplishing for the self.

There is a very fine line, shall we say, between offering information which has been prepared for in the understanding of an entity by its own efforts and in giving information which lacks the preparation by the entity and which would remove from the entity the opportunity to gain what we might call a spiritual strength in fashioning for itself the foundation of understanding upon which we shall offer certain refinements that lie within the realm of what has been prepared by the entity requesting information.

Now D asks if is aware of our thoughts in a clearer way that we are when we ask the questions for Q’uo to respond to. Q’uo said that they could perceive some unasked portions of questions and emotions but could not go beyond a certain boundary of these perceptions without infringing on the free will of the seeker. In 86.16, Don was told by Ra that they could not answer his query because there was “intervening material” that would have to be queried on before they could answer his current question which was Ra’s way of not infringing upon Don’s free will:

Questioner: You mentioned loss of knowledge and control over the body as being a factor that was helpful in the evolutionary process due to veiling. Could you enumerate the important losses of knowledge and control over the body?

I am Ra. This query contains some portions which would be more helpfully answered were some intervening material requested.

May we answer further, my brother?

D: The protocols of this sort of communication and the assumptions that we can make about it concerned me and that answer was very much to the point. Thank you.

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

D: Are personal questions appropriate at this time?

I am Q’uo, and though we are not, shall we say, specialists in answering queries of a personal nature, we are happy to attempt such responses as long as our responses, again, do not risk the infringement upon an entity’s free will by providing information which would affect its future choices, shall we say.

D: Well, with that in mind, I’ll ask a question, seeking some help in making future choices. I have been working and accepting all the teaching I could in the area of channeling [inaudible] and simply wonder if—I seem to be running into blocks that I keep butting my head into. I wonder if there might be any insight that you could give that would be productive or helpful to me without taking away the lessons that I’m obviously in need of learning.

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my brother. We might suggest that when one discovers within the life pattern that which appears as a blockage and which repeats itself, that one might embrace such seeming blockage as an obvious opportunity to avail the self of a certain lesson, a lesson which might yet lie beyond the grasp of understanding and present itself in a manner which might seem to disturb or to be disharmoniously experienced, even confusing and contradictory.

Such repeated patterns may provide to the diligent student a kind of riddle which when moved about within the mind and seen from various perspectives begins to unfold itself when one has been able to work with the pattern in a fashion which at once cherishes the seeming difficulty and moves to penetrate the outer illusion and seeming configuration in order that a more basic understanding of the nature of the self and its manner of learning might be gained.

Now D wanted to know if Q’uo could give him any hints about how to become a channel without infringing on his free will since he had been running into roadblocks in this process. Q’uo recommended that D use the repeated blockages as a chance to look at them in various perspectives in order to solve a kind of puzzle that would give him a better idea of his nature and how learning might be gained. On July 23, 1982, Latwii described the basic value of the puzzle:

We have long been interested in the puzzle and the mystery of being, and seek with each in this room to penetrate the puzzles and the mysteries which compose each portion of the creation. We find the riddle a most helpful instrument for instruction, for it only appears to originate from outside the seeker.

May we speak in any further fashion, my brother?

D: No, thank you.

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

Carla: Just to say good-bye. I do have a question. I wasn’t going to ask it, but I think I will. If it doesn’t infringe on my free will, please answer; if it does, don’t. Is the concept that I lost when I started analyzing the contact have something to do with a tree? It would ease my mind, actually, to know that it was you that stuck a tree in my mind after—actually after I stopped channeling, because I did not get a solid name for that concept being stuck in my head. Was that you and was that the point at which I missed a concept?

I am Q’uo, and we may speak in response to this query by suggesting that that concept of the tree was a portion of our contact which we were utilizing to speak to the concern that sparked your analysis. We, however, will leave the meaning of the tree to your discernment.

May we speak in any further fashion, my sister?

Carla: No, thank you.

[A recorded telephone message is heard being played to an incoming caller.]

I am Q’uo, and we appreciate each person’s patience as we have awaited the completion of the recording device as it works. May we ask it there is a final query before we take our leave of this group?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we thank each for inviting our presence this evening. It has been a great honor and privilege to join our vibrations with yours. We look forward to each opportunity to join this group in its circle of seeking. We shall at this time take our leave of this group and this instrument and leave each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai vasu borragus.

This morning I used my trimmer to trim around the various gardens and walkways in the side yard and in the front yard.

This afternoon I ran a couple of errands with my first stop at Feeder’s Supply to buy some cat food for Bosco that is lower in carbohydrates as this kind of food should be better for his diabetes. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food for myself. When I got home I completed the trimming around the gardens and walkways in the back yard.

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

August 26

The Surrender Beyond Thought

I am of the principle of the love of Jesus the Christ.

I greet you in the full consciousness of that perfect love.

Your thoughts this day busily consider what actions you shall take for the improvement and the straightening of your life’s many details. Yet there is a great difference between that thought which is manipulation and that surrender beyond thought which invites the spirit of the living God into action and creates transformation.

We ask you to dedicate your lives first to resting within the power of the spirit. If enough souls turned first to the spirit and only then to the world, the face of the Earth itself would be transformed!

And in the little round of one life the dedication of the self to the fiery, fertile essence of Spirit produces a purity and wholeness in the life experience which takes a soul from detail to a consciousness of glory. For you are not insignificant compilers of detail if you open the doors of your desire to the Spirit.

We leave you in the surrender which is perfect peace and perfect power, now and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 23, 1986:

(Carla channeling)

Question: How can I better utilize my being?

I am Q’uo. I greet this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a privilege and a blessing to be with you this evening as we extend special greetings to those who are here for the first time. This is a tremendous privilege for us and we thank you for it. We would ask you before we begin to aid us by telling us if that which we are projecting through this instrument is of sufficient sound vibration to be audible to you?

Jim: Yes.

We thank you, my brother. We are dealing with an instrument which has some blockage in the breathing, and we do not wish to cause the instrument to project more than it was necessary to do. We apologize for the pause, however this instrument had to request that the entity most suited to answer the query chosen this evening not communicate at this sitting due to the difficulty which the one known as Carla has had in receiving the contact of t’Michael’h because of soreness in the neck. The contact attempted to work with this channel to achieve more comfort, but it was feared that there would be some loss of clarity, and so we who have a closer vibrational relationship with this particular channel agreed to do our best to speak with you on the subject of being.

The question for this session was “How can I better utilize my being?” Q’uo began by asking if we could hear their words that they were speaking through Carla because she had some blockage in her breathing and that caused her to ask the entity most able to answer the question for the evening, whose name was t’Michael’h, not channel through her because of soreness on her neck. t’Michael’h apparently attempted to work with Carla but felt that there would be a loss of clarity in their message if they did so, so Q’uo said that they would attempt to channel an answer to the question of being as they had a closer relationship to Carla than did those of t’Michael’h.

t’Michael’h was an entity that Carla channeled only one other time, on September 7, 1986, about two and one-half months before this channeling. This is what they had to say about themselves in the beginning of that channeling:

“I am [sounds like] t’Michael’h. I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is indeed an honor and a privilege to be with you this evening. We shall speak for a time before addressing the question, as we are adjusting to this channel.

This is our first appearance with your group, and yet we have been observing this group for some time for we are most appreciative of those who persevere in service to the light. Our energy we find to be very powerful for this instrument and we are attempting to step it down so that we are able to use the instrument with less distortion of the instrument’s physical complex.

We find that due to the aural nature of our particular contact and this instrument’s difficulties in the right ear, we must tilt the instrument’s head, and we apologize to the instrument for this inconvenience. We trust that we shall gradually discover how to lessen this inconvenience. It does not seem to interfere with the process of communication to each of you through this instrument, and so with this instrument’s permission we shall speak a few more words of little import while we are continuing to fit in with this instrument’s comfort parameters.

We are not of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator. We are of the inner planes. We wish to be clear on this, for this instrument has a prejudice against inner plane teachers. Yet we have been drawn to this group because we are interested in questions which have to do with the power of polarity. This is our area, what you would call the disciplines of the indigo-ray work.

We are third density, harvestable for fourth, and we believe, and it has been agreed by the Confederation entities that are about you now, that we perhaps can give some information from a point of view helpful concerning the question of the function of the nature and the correction in time and space of the seemingly petty negative mood, the transient melancholy, the sudden irritation, the quick anger, that which does not last in the perception, yet lingers along in the perceptions of those about one and in the actual effect in a cumulative sense on the spiritual journey itself.”

Then Q’uo continued their contact with Carla.

We ask, as always, that you understand carefully that that which we say is opinion and not gospel. We have a great desire to serve you, and so we come as you do to those who know perhaps less than you, with our helping hands extended, but we are not so naive as to feel that we have learned all the answers, for although we seek the Creator, yet we are not yet the Creator, and in our individuality lies error. Thus, we offer to you our experience and that which we have learned along the way, but always we ask that if that which we say is not helpful to you, please leave it behind without a backward glance or second thought. Conversely, if that which we say is helpful, please feel free to use it and to build upon it as your own.

Each of you has a concept of what beingness is, based upon your observations of yourself and other selves. The difficulty with attempting to observe consciousness is that one is observing consciousness by the use of consciousness. It is therefore difficult, though not impossible, to get a well-rounded, shall we say, view of what one is by observing what one does, what one thinks, and what one intends. Beneath the level of any thinking, doing or intention lies beingness or consciousness.

When one can surprise oneself in a state of unthinking beingness, one has the evanescent glimpse of the face of the Creator, for each of you is in the basic consciousness a holograph of All That There Is. Just so can one observe the Creator’s face in space or tree or idea or emblem. Whether one goes to myth or to observation of the smallest natural detail, one is working to gain a more rounded awareness of the consciousness of Love.

You will notice that we use Love in the same way that we use the word Creator. We are sorry to use words that pale beside the meaning they are intended to convey. However, channeled information has as perhaps its tightest stricture the clumsy limitation of words. We attempt to connote such by the word Love, but we intend to convey a fiery, creative Love which is far more primal than any sense of love which is used to express emotion. The use of the word Logos in your holy work known as the Bible is perhaps the closest to our use of the word Love, intending a meaning of the Creator that we could approach within your language. Your consciousness, that which is the tune you hum before you have learned to sing, is that of Love. You share the Thought that created all that there is, all the worlds that there are, and all the beings that live upon them, between them, and, indeed, all the beings that are them.

Quo began their answer to how to better utilize the nature of being by suggesting that it is equal to consciousness and that being/consciousness is beneath the level of “thinking, doing or intention.” Q’uo suggested that within our beingness we are a holograph of the Creator, Love, or Logos as is any other person, animal, tree, or any thing that we can imagine. On January 23, 1983, Q’uo gave an example of how we are all are a portion of the one Creator:

It is of necessity that the infinity of mind give over in function to the infinity of spirit, that through this foundation source of beingness all that exists might be known as a portion of the great Self which is the one Creator. Your creation exists that this one Creator might know Itself, and as the process of evolution occurs for each entity then the Creator gains in knowledge of Itself as each portion becomes aware of more of its identity as the one Creator. The reciprocal knowing of the small self as the great Self and great Self as the small selves reaches this stage of what we have called spiritual mass increasingly so that the fullness of all creation is seen to be contained within the fullness of the self.

Now what shall you use this consciousness for? You have experienced sleeping, waking and exalted consciousness. If we were to ask you which level of consciousness you found most useful, you would perhaps choose the more active state of consciousness, for within the illusion which you experience as third-density reality you must choose your state of consciousness in terms of that which can be done, thus one would automatically choose to be awake when there are things to do.

It is likely that you have a prejudice against those who distract themselves so that they shall not become aware of the full extent of their own consciousness, those who do not enjoy the thinking and the pondering, those who have not yet set their feet upon a path which seeks, if not answers to questions, at least a better knowledge of what questions are worth the asking. And yet consciousness is not measured in terms of conclusions drawn or actions taken, for it is our humble opinion that nothing can be known within the illusion which you experience at this time, and, indeed, the purpose of the illusion that you experience at this time demands that you operate without full knowledge of the consequences of your decisions, for consciousness is other than is most often valued among your people, and by that we mean what this instrument would call Western civilization.

There is a kind of awakeness of consciousness which is perhaps the best way to express in a short period of time—which this instrument informs me we have—a proper and appropriate goal in consciousness, and that is the state of present joy, for the consciousness of creative love, the consciousness of the Logos, is ecstasy. This instrument did not wish to express this word, yet we insisted. We do not mean to suggest that those who seek pleasure are moving necessarily in the correct direction for the best use of their beingness. We wish rather to suggest that the nature of Love is a joy beyond expression, and we find that that is the definition of the word ecstasy. The Logos is orgasmically joyful; that is a steady state. That is our perception at this time, if you will pardon our use of that inaccurate word.

We suggest that the best use of beingness is a persistent attempt to approach a natural state of present joy. We include the word present because the key to being fully free of that which would keep one from being joyful is entrance into the present moment.

The seeker, no matter how sincere, cannot systematically decide to be joyful and have it be so, for the state of mind is intrinsically counterproductive to much that this density of vibration has to offer in terms of learning.

The approach to joy involves several series of experiences in which the seeker becomes confident through meditation and the analysis of experience that he has penetrated the key factors of spiritual seeking and now grasps the nature of seeking. There develops then a lack of openness to change which results in further discomfort and challenges, which then open up the seeker to the painful consideration of further refinements upon the choices he has already made.

The ultimate result of these choices is finally a bafflement and a frustration deep enough to cause the seeker to surrender the quest and leave the understanding of the quest in the hands of the Creator which the seeker wishes to know. The nature of being is such that one cannot know the Creator except by being with the Creator, or, more accurately, perceiving the being of self and Creator as one. This is done only through the surrender of the self to the great Self. Thus, the most efficient use of being is the surrender of that being to the higher will of the greater Self, the greater Being, the greater Love, so that these things which the seeker does are channeled through the seeker from an infinite source of compassion and creative Love.

The uses of creative Love are subtle, and service to others has never been easy to penetrate. What seems to be of service is often not; what seems to be directly not of service sometimes is. What seems to be worth doing, may not be—and vice versa. Creative Love has an infinite capacity and patience and may burn long after human energy has given out.

We do not suggest that you go immediately towards a surrender, for first you must discover for yourself the nature of your journey and your quest and a great enough respect for your own being and for the Creator that you place your being and the Creator’s together. We would not have you do these things because we suggest it. However, if we can inspire you to meditate and seek the experience of your own being and the further experience of placing your beingness in the presence of the consciousness of Love, then perhaps you can make your choices with some awareness that will enable you to penetrate the nature of the journey that you are upon more quickly.

Now Q’uo asked what use shall we make of this consciousness of the Creator which is Love and full of joy and ecstacy, and can be channeled through us from “an infinite source of compassion and Love.” Q’uo suggested that we meditate and discover our beingness as the consciousness of Love that we can be of the most service to others in this way. In 57.33, Ra described how we may achieve this beingness of Love and, thereby, be of service to others:

The seeker seeks the One. This One is to be sought, as we have said, by the balanced and self-accepting self, aware both of its apparent distortions and its total perfection. Resting in this balanced awareness, the entity then opens the self to the universe which it is. The light energy of all things may then be attracted by this intense seeking, and wherever the inner seeking meets the attracted cosmic prana, realization of the One takes place.

The purpose of clearing each energy center is to allow that meeting place to occur at the indigo-ray vibration, thus making contact with intelligent infinity and dissolving all illusions. Service to others is automatic at the released energy generated by this state of consciousness.

For that is what we are here to help you do, my friends. We are here to help you accelerate the course of your spiritual evolution. We are, if you will, the health food of the spirit, the mind, and the emotions, the yogurt, shall we say, of pilgrims. There are many things that you can put into your mind having to do with who you are and where you are going that may not enable you to be of service to yourself or to others or to the Creator whom you wish to know and to serve. We hope that we are somewhat helpful.

Move slowly, and turn always to meditation, for it is within the silence within your own being that you shall contact the source that lies deepest and truest within the universe that is your own being, for the greater part of your own being you shall not within your incarnations within this illusion fully experience, yet you shall see the reflection of them more and more as you meditate and dwell more and more comfortably with the deeper portions of yourself.

In 49.8, Ra also recommended that meditation is the way that we can contact the Creator, the “source that lies deepest and truest within the universe that is your own being.”:

The passive meditation involving the clearing of the mind, the emptying of the mental jumble which is characteristic of mind complex activity among your peoples, is efficacious for those whose goal is to achieve an inner silence as a base from which to listen to the Creator.

At this time, aware as we are that there are some questions that you would like to ask, we would transfer this contact. We are most grateful, as we have said, to be able to speak with you. We would now transfer. We are known to you as Q’uo.

This morning I transplanted the last of the Hydrangea into the garden in front of the fish pond. Then I mulched all 21 Hydrangea and put the sprinkler on top of the fish pond framework so that the Hydrangea and all of the other small gardens around the fish pond could be watered.

This afternoon I used my trimmer to weed the Moss Garden and the little garden of Yellow Creeping Jenny near the Moss Garden. Then I used my backpack blower to blow the weeds off the Moss Garden. Then I came into the house and vacuumed the first floor and did a load of laundry.

The Ocean Of Love

I am of the true consciousness, the clear Christ-consciousness, of love which is the continuing manifestation of Jesus the Christ.

We continue, yet we are one in time and space as waves which lap upon the shore and then lap upon the shore again are yet one body of water. So time is to the spirit: ceaseless in essence yet progressive in manifestation.

Know that you are dwelling within an ocean of love. You may stand upon the shore and be conscious of time and let love lap at your feet; let the consciousness of love touch your feet. Or you may move into love and leave time behind, bathed in the essence of the transforming love of Jesus the Christ.

One thing more we ask of you and that is: be clear in the mind that negative experience will come when one turns the back upon the shore of love and walks willingly into the desert where love has dried up. The negative choices that separate you from the waters of love are sometimes subtle. Seek the ocean, for love awaits.

We leave you in peace, now and ever.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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