Below is a fairly succinct exposition of how we are all experiments in conscious awareness. First is an except from the Aaron/Q'uo Dialogues with Barbara Brodsky channeling the entity Aaron. And I have followed that with an outline of his information in my own wording, hoping to make the channeled material more digestible. It's not difficult to understand, per se, but the ideas are large and packed closely together.
Whereas the Aaron text describes the situation from the top down (from the spirit body to the self-awareness of the mental body to the emotional body), the Q'uo passage from a few years prior looks at consciousness from the other direction, that is, beginning with the simpler awareness of second density as it moves up into the "self-awareness" of third density. This is to say, second density creatures, let's say, when they have a broken foot, they do not complain, "My foot is broken!" It's more like, "There is a broken foot." They lack the sense of self importance humans have because they do not feel the kind of self vs. others sense of identity we have. For example, although they will try to evade a predator, when it comes time to die, they simply surrender to death. They trust the process because they feel connected to the natural flow of life. And yet they will eventually give up that very connectedness in order to enter third density and experience that sense of individual isolation which self-awareness brings. From this position of third density separation they eventually reconnect with Oneness as they become individuated self-aware love-embracing entities as they become ready to do work in fourth density consciousness.
This particular passage also beautifully reminds us of our role in enspiriting second density creatures with our love, and how this aids them on their journey towards our current density of experience. At the same time, sharing love with second density beings also helps us open our hearts on our way to life in fourth density. Perhaps these two excepts will shed some light upon the underlying beauty of this mysterious process?

Aaron Wrote:I have just offered Barbara a complex thought which was not channeled with complete clarity. I wish to explain this a bit. The spirit body is this spark of the Divine. It is perfect. It needs nothing beyond itself, and yet it is just a spark. It is capable of infinite expansion. The divine essence of it does not change, but its power changes so that you move from that small spark of God into a brilliant sun. This essence of divinity within each of you is not separate from God, nor is it in itself God, but is a part of that infinite energy, light and love.
If you had a vast ocean, an infinite sea, and you took a drop of water from a dropper and dropped it into that sea, no matter that it was already infinite, it would expand. You add that drop to it. Each of you is involved in this process of expanding and enhancing your own energy and light, which does not belong personally to you, but in eighth-density experience moves back fully into the Eternal and thereby expands the Infinite, expands the light and love in the universe.
So, the soul itself is not learning, but the soul within what we call the Higher Self is accompanied by the mental body. As soon as there is thought, there is distortion, because with thought there is self-awareness. As soon as you are aware of a self, you move into the distortion of self and other. This distortion is part of the illusion and is useful, even necessary for a certain distance on your path. But there is also the level of awareness that there is no separate self. Pure Awareness knows that this which has perceived itself as separate is truly of the essence of the Eternal.
Here is where you move into and out of illusion. The Higher Self then moves into the incarnative experience, manifesting form and taking on the heaviness of the emotional body so that it can work with the earth catalysts and clarify this energy that you are.
The ideas of love, compassion—what do these mean? If there was never any pain, it would be easy to feel love. You would never feel threatened. You would never close or build that wall. But what would this love mean? When you are offered the heavy catalysts that you are offered on this plane and can still forgive, still find compassion, still love, can you see that you are expanding that original spark? The light grows purer.
In effect, this small spark within you is fed by the fuel of earth’s catalysts, and two responses are possible. One is that those catalysts feel so heavy that you shut the doors, thus enclosing that flame within and not allowing it to return itself to God. The second choice is that you watch the process of closing and opening, fear and love, and find compassion for the human who is experiencing this physical pain, this emotional pain. This growing compassion serves to add fuel to the spark so that it burns more and more brilliantly. The shadow falls away, and what is finally returned to God has become a sun in its own right.
So, you are in this illusion and yet being asked to relate to it openheartedly with balance, working with all the catalysts of the lower chakras, welcoming these catalysts, not preferring the upper-chakra energy, not preferring being angels to the experience of the earthsuit. This is your greatest challenge, because it is so painful to keep coming back to that earthsuit when the heart yearns to be free and back on that plane of light and love where there are no distortions of fear.
There must be constant awareness, a noticing of the beginnings of a dialogue with fear, a willingness not to get caught up in that fear and be reactive to it. Certainly there is so much pain that you experience that there is good reason to get caught up in the fear. All you can do is to remind yourself each time fear arises, “Trust. Trust even this fear. Can I allow myself to enter this illusion fully with as much love as I can bring to it?”
In a sense, it is not the pain of the illusion which causes you to build walls and close in the heart, but your fear that there will be pain. There is a difference here when you are afraid of the catalysts of your learning; that is, when you begin to shut out the lower-chakra experiences and grasp at the spiritual. But this is precisely where you are being offered the opportunity to practice compassion for the human, to see the human, this angel with its feet in the mud, and give it a hug instead of trying to chop off the legs and free the angel.
Summarisation of the Aaron Text
- Your spirit body is of unchanging essence, like an eternal star, yet its magnitude can range from a tiny spark to a brilliant sun.
- All beings are in the process of increasing this magnitude of light which is neither a property nor the property of the personality. It is both a property and the property of Eternity.
- How does the spirit body increase in magnitude? The spirit body attracts a mental body and its thoughts beget self-awareness. Mental self-awareness views its environment in terms of self and other which is the basis of all experience beneath the level of the spirit body. We call this "An Illusion." Yet within this illusion, at the highest level of self-aware mental body experience, it is possible to know Pure Awareness. Thus, the separate self knows its own deeper self of pure light so that there is and is not a separate self. In other words, consciousness becomes dual functioning as separate self and all-connected self.
- At this crossover point where the self-aware self connects with Pure Awareness, the awareness of the spirit body is also able to crossover to begin to experience the incarnational self in the context of feeling separation, fear, etc. It can then help the self-aware self to clarify notions of fear and separation in the face of mundane catalyst.
- As the self-aware self becomes more transparent to its own complete self--being less blocked by fear, more fluid with forgiveness and being more animated with love and light--then the spirit body may grow in magnitude. This occurs as the knowledge of self as light and love becomes reified in the context of our hurly-burly incarnative experience.
Q`uo Wrote:There is a great difference betwixt your planet which is of second-density awareness and yourselves which are of third-density or self-conscious awareness. The Earth itself lies within the power of the Logos, and does not fear change, even if the change be major and what those to whom we speak would call catastrophic. If there is to be the glacier or the greenhouse effect or the planetary shift or the great earthquake or the great conspiracy—one of several, we may add, that this instrument has heard—yet still the Earth itself shall not be afraid. Perhaps it shall feel sorrow, but it is still with the Logos; it is still imbued with love, wishing only to give and to receive that love.
For this simple reason, we would conclude this portion of our speaking by encouraging each of you to refrain from fear with the same faith of those who do not have self-consciousness, but know only the love and the light of the infinite Creator. This is a service-to-others planet, and one may see in the example of the helpful environment, the trees that breathe that which entities such as yourselves expire, and expire that which those of your kind breathe. This is one example, a rather obvious one, of the loving, serving, giving nature of second density. It moves to the light. Whatever happens to it, it shall survive in its own way, unless it be blasted to pieces, in which case it would simply die.
The planet can do a limited amount to aid a limited amount of people who are aware of places of energy which for them may be helpful. However, this aid is limited to those concepts and feelings which cannot be put into words. Thus, those whose church is the green cathedral of the forest, the mountains, and nature itself will find themselves as tongue-tied as the trees and flowers in attempting to describe or put into some meaningful context the experience of worship within the setting of nature, although it is perfectly acceptable to the Creator that the face of the Creator be seen in this density so filled with the Logos and Its consciousness.
Before we go on, we would note at this time that your yellow[-ray] physical bodies are also second-density creatures. We would now move on to the more important complex of ideas concerning what one may do to aid the planet.
As the planet and all the creatures upon it that grow and flower and turn to the light have consciousness, that consciousness is inspired and made to rejoice and flow in harmony and rhythm with any whose attention to it is loving and sweet. This is why the song sung in love aids the flower, and the soft voice helps the vegetables grow. This is why there are things other than your fertilizer and your—this instrument uses the word—pesticide that can truly aid the planet on a far more basic level for you. If you correct the soil or plant the correct crops in order to grow according to that soil, you are indeed aiding the planet by aiding its productivity, but if you have not love for the seed and love for the soil, then the second-density creatures which are the object of your dutious tending do not become self-aware, or aware of their own beauty or their own usefulness or their own sacrifice.
Beauty, function and sacrifice are three great principles of self-consciousness. They, that is those creatures which dwell in second density, are attempting to become self-conscious enough, that is, invested with enough personal consciousness of self to become fully human and begin to interact and move about the planet to learn the lessons of love once again, those very lessons which they surrender at second-density graduation in order to move into third density, study, think, experience, feel and integrate the catalyst therein and make the choice between fourth-density positive or service to others aspects of love and service to self aspects of that same love.
Thus, what one may do to aid the planet begins with the being which walks upon the grass, aware of and thanking the Earth for its energy. It is the entity which forms relationships with those second-density creatures about it, speaking with them or silently caring for them, that invest in love those creatures turning to the light to the point where they not only turn to the light, but know that they are turning to the light. It is your density’s confusion as to how to use that light, for, oh, how easy it is to choose to use that light, that power, that glory of being independent, to make free choices that do not polarize one in service to others or in some way to not aid the survival of the entity. Indeed, there are many actively self-destructive souls who polarize neither towards the positive nor the negative, but in a self-destructive manner sabotage the good with the bad, the bad with the good, remaining forever in the well of indifference which lies between the two polarities.
To aid the planet, we urge each to walk upon it and bless it, to admire the accidents of the day, the blooms that have been freely given, whether there is an eye to see or no. We urge each to be aware of the beauty, the truth, the sanctity of that green cathedral that lies without the shuttered windows of human habitation upon your planet. Were we not aware of the fragility of your physical vehicles, we would urge each to sleep upon the ground; we would urge each to make the connection, for there is a vitality to the Logos which the second-density physical body has, but which the mind complex of third-density entities most usually disables because of cultural conditioning to the contrary.
The Earth wishes to aid. It loves its human entities. It is aware that much negative energy is being stored within the Earth’s crust at this time, yet it is not resentful, but merely rueful that it may be forced to inflict damage upon creatures of third density at some time. This is the natural attitude of one which is nurturing by nature. There is no negative feeling within your planet. That which is negative within your planet are those vibrations which have been placed within it by the thought forms of those which have dwelt upon it. In order to serve those life forms, it would gladly die. May we say that the effect upon the life forms which blew it up would be burdensome in terms of your sense of time.
