I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from September 11, 2010:
Jim: The question this evening, Q’uo, has to do with synchronicity. When we feel that we’re in a situation that is synchronous, that it’s giving us information that is helpful in our spiritual journey, we’re wondering just how this comes about. Do we have guides or angelic presences or friends that help bring us to a situation, a book, a person, or an event that is pivotal in our lives, or is it more internally that we’re ready to see something as synchronistic? We’d like more information on this synchronicity, just how exactly it works and how we can use it more beneficially on our spiritual journeys.
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose name we come to you this evening. Because there are those within this group who are new, we would introduce ourselves. We are members of the Confederation of Angels and Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator, and it is our pleasure to have been called to this group, for there is a call for information that is compatible with the vibration of information which we offer, that is, the vibration of service to others and unconditional Love. It is a privilege and a pleasure to be called to your group this evening. We want to thank you, each of you, for carving out a part of your day in order that you may focus in this circle on that which is metaphysical or spiritual on the walking of your path of evolution of mind, body and spirit. We thank you for feeling that our thoughts may have value to you and we are most happy to share them with you.
But first, we wish to ask of you a favor and that is that you employ your full discernment as you listen. We cannot hit the mark for all entities at all times. Consequently, if we offer thoughts that are useful to you, please use them as the resources they are intended to be, but if they do not seem to make sense to you; if they do not resonate to you, leave them behind without a second thought. Trust that feeling of resonance. Trust your powers of discrimination. You know what you need, and it will resonate to you. Use those things that resonate, and no matter who says them, do not be concerned. If something does not resonate to you, it is not for you to work with at this time. If you will employ that discernment, my friends, that will enable us to feel free to speak, knowing that we cannot infringe upon your free will inadvertently. We greatly thank you for this consideration.
You asked this evening about how synchronicity works in the life of the spiritual seeker. As so often happens, we need to take a few steps back from that query in order to give you a cogent response.
It is a spiritual principle which we repeat often that “all things are one.” You dwell in a completely unified and interactive universe. The creation is one. You are all beings, all things, all emotions. You are a part of the Creator and therefore a citizen of eternity, comfortable with infinity, dwelling for this particular lifetime within a physical vehicle in a heavy illusion. Within your illusion which you call everyday life or consensus reality, if you will, it is not obvious that all things are one. It is, in fact, counterintuitive to say that you are part of all you see and that all whom you see act as a hall of mirrors for you. Yet it is so.
And we speak to you at a time when your scientists have begun to tell you the same. That entire range of physics that includes the thought that the observer is part of the experiment infers the unity of all things. We do not limit this unity to other entities you would call human. It is as if all of nature, from the elements and the powers to the plants and animals, to the very air you breathe and the water that you drink, the fire that warms your heart and the earth under your feet, are dancing in rhythm. And you are either part of that dance and part of that rhythm, or you have not yet awakened to the true state within which you actually dwell in the creation of the Father. It is as a beloved part of the one creation that you come by this affinity for synchronicity.
The group question for this session was: “. Do we have guides or angelic presences or friends that help bring us to a situation, a book, a person, or an event that is pivotal in our lives, or is it more internally that we’re ready to see something as synchronistic? We’d like more information on this synchronicity, just how exactly it works and how we can use it more beneficially in our spiritual journeys.” Q’uo began by saying we asked this evening about how synchronicity works in the life of the spiritual seeker, and it is a spiritual principle which Q’uo repeats often that “all things are one,” so we dwell in a unified and interactive universe, and the creation is one, so we are all beings, all things, all emotions, and we are a part of the Creator and a citizen of eternity dwelling for this lifetime within a physical vehicle in a heavy illusion, so within our illusion which we call consensus reality it is not obvious that all things are one, and it is counterintuitive to say that we are part of all we see, and that all whom we see act as a hall of mirrors for us. Then Q’uo said they are speaking to us at a time when our scientists have begun to tell us the same thing because the range of physics that includes the thought that the observer is part of the experiment assumes the unity of all things, and Q’uo did not limit this unity to other entities we would call human, so it is as if all of nature, from the elements, and the powers, to the plants and animals, to the very air we breathe, and the water that we drink, the fire that warms our heart ,and the earth under our feet, are dancing in rhythm, and we are either part of that dance, or we have not yet awakened to the true state within which we dwell in the creation of the Father, and it is as a beloved part of the one creation that we come by this affinity for synchronicity. On August 22, 2004, Q’uo described the nature of synchronicity:
Focus, when looking at taking the next step, on how you are feeling, how your attitude is, and how you perceive this present moment. How do you see the system, as a whole, that is your energy field? Are you in health? You need to be in order to serve. If the answer to that is no, stop and ask for balance. If you are feeling bewildered, stop, sit in silence, and let the universe pour in. It might be the call of a bird; it might be spirits speaking directly to you in a voice you can hear. It might be anything in between. It might be a street sign that pops out at you in synchronicity with the thought that you were having. There are many, many ways that spirit connects with those who are listening, so listen, and listen to yourself, being sure, first, that the instrument is in good order, for you are instruments.
It is unknown to us when you first became aware that what you thought was your consciousness was, in actuality, a mish-mash of all of the politics and social training and enculturation that you have experienced as a child. We do not know when you took that first step out of the box, out of the matrix, but you have, or you would not be here. You would not be seeking. Once you wake up you move through many waters, experience many dark nights of the soul, because it is painful to learn new things. It is uncomfortable to experience that learning curve. You might do many things. You might read and read until you burn yourself out. You might meditate until you make yourself crazy. You might do any of a number of things which are as confusing as they are excellent.
But slowly you begin to dwell from time to time in silence—that silence in which you are able to hear that still, small voice that speaks in silence to your heart of hearts. And you begin to realize that this walk that you are walking is not a physical road. It is what this instrument would call, with her mystical Christianity, “the King’s Highway.” It is walked not in space/time but in the unseen worlds of time/space. That is where you, as a citizen of eternity, have never stopped dwelling. Yes, you are in a physical vehicle, and yes, you are deeply limited in your awareness by the heavy chemical nature of that physical vehicle. But within you, closer than your breathing, is your consciousness. That consciousness, unlike your brain, is common to all. It is the consciousness of Love, the Logos, the one Creator. And when you relax and allow the “monkey mind,” as this instrument often calls the biocomputer with which you were born, that excellent choice maker and that slave driver—when you let that mind rest, the consciousness allows you to think differently, to see differently, to understand differently.
Then Q’uo said it is unknown when we first became aware that what we thought was our consciousness was a mixture of all of the politics, social training, and enculturation that we have experienced as a child, so Q’uo did not know when we took that first step out of the box, but we have, or we would not be here as a seeker, and once we wake up we move through many waters, experience many dark nights of the soul because it is painful to learn new things, so we might do many things like read until we burn our self out, or we might meditate until we make our self crazy, or we might do any of a number of things which are as confusing as they are excellent. Now Q’uo said slowly we begin to dwell in silence, that silence in which we are able to hear that still, small voice that speaks in silence to our heart of hearts, and we begin to realize that this walk that we are walking is not a physical road, but it is what Carla would call, “the King’s Highway,” and it is walked in the unseen worlds of time/space, for that is where we, as a citizen of eternity, have never stopped dwelling, so we are in a physical body, and we are limited in our awareness by the chemical nature of our body, but within us is that consciousness, unlike our brain, is common to all since it is the consciousness of Love, the Logos, the one Creator, and when we relax and allow the “monkey mind,” as Carla calls the biocomputer with which we were born to rest, our consciousness allows us to think and to understand differently. On November 1, 1998, Q’uo described what it means for us to be a citizen of eternity:
We give to this instrument the image of a traveler. The traveler moves across the desert landscape gazing intently, even feverishly, for a source of water. At the same time this entity is, metaphysically speaking, in a world made of water, that which this instrument refers to as water consciousness. As a citizen of eternity one may consider oneself cast upon the shore of an inhospitable environment, the desert land which offers learning opportunity for service and challenges that teach and create the potential for transformation. When you feel that you are truly in the desert, that all is dry and lifeless and without hope, we encourage you to practice knowing by faith the watery environment of the human spirit, for that which seems upon the surface to be dry, and dusty, and difficult is, in metaphysical terms, wondrous, a treasure, that which is to be prized, a canvas upon which to paint a self in love with the beauty and the majesty of the infinite Creator. When the mouth is parched for something to drink, when the stomach grumbles for food, remember that you are a citizen of eternity and that you have meat and drink that the world does not know of. And allow the desert to become the ocean, life-giving, and new with every tide.
As your moments of silence build your new awareness you gradually realize that you cannot function with only your mind. You must use your consciousness as well if you wish to advance or evolve within the body. There are many ways to enter the silence. Some there are in this circle who are very comfortable with prayer. Others enjoy contemplation, or meditation, or walks in nature. Any way that is comfortable to you to tabernacle with the infinite One is that which you should do. There is no one good way to spend time with the Creator. The thing that all these techniques have in common is silence. Silence is the key that opens the door to understanding. One day you realize just how powerful you are and you decide that you are going to do things differently from now on. You are going to do what Søren Kierkegaard said, take a leap into faith.
Why would any rational, sentient being, leave the solid earth of that which can be proven, touched, and seen, and leap into the abyss of the mysterious and paradoxical? Why? Because that is where spiritual growth takes place. And the hunger, and the thirst for spiritual truth is such that you must leave your childhood home of rationality and that which can be proven, and you must seek in the shadowy byways of mystery. It is a dark abyss. We see in this instrument’s mind a picture of the old maps of the world when the popular belief was that your world was flat and that at its end a ship would simply sail off into the abyss. The writing on those maps was not in English, of course, my friends: “There, there be dragons.” There are indeed mighty denizens of the abyss of midair. Yet they are those which not only guard the treasures of Love and understanding, but also guard you, each of you, careful to support you as you seek along the King’s Highway, which is entirely in the abyss of midair.
Then Q’uo said as our moments of silence build our new awareness we realize that we cannot function with only our mind, so we must use our consciousness as well if we wish to evolve within the body, and there are ways to enter the silence, and some there are who are comfortable with prayer, and others enjoy contemplation, or meditation, or walks in nature, so any way that is comfortable to us to tabernacle with the infinite One is that which we should do since there is no one good way to spend time with the Creator, and the thing that all these techniques have in common is silence since silence is the key that opens the door to understanding, so one day we will realize how powerful we are, and we decide that we are going to do things differently from now on, and we are going to do what Søren Kierkegaard said, and take a leap into faith. Q’uo went on to say the reason why we would leave the solid earth of that which can be proven, touched, and seen, and leap into the abyss of the mysterious is because that is where spiritual growth takes place, and our hunger for spiritual truth is such that we must leave our childhood home of rationality and that which can be proven, and we must seek in the shadowy byways of mystery, and Q’uo saw in Carla’s mind a picture of the old maps of the world when the belief was that our world was flat, and that at its end a ship would sail off into the abyss, but the writing on those maps was not in English: “There, there be dragons,” so there are mighty denizens of the abyss of midair, yet they are those which not only guard the treasures of Love and understanding, but also guard each of us, careful to support us as we seek along the King’s Highway, which is in the abyss of midair. On August 12, 2007, Q’uo described our journey upon the King’s Highway:
You are already perfect. Rest in that perfection, knowing that there is little hope of your seeing yourself able to manifest the perfection within, but also knowing that you are on the road to that perfect self, and therefore, through faith in things unseen, you are as good as there, metaphysically speaking. This cleanses and clears your energy field so that you are not caught up in the process of spiritual evolution but rather are at rest in the saddle as you and your lance of truth ride along the dusty road. This instrument calls that road “The King’s Highway,” for within her distortion of worship that King’s Highway is the way towards her icon of unconditional Love. Indeed, you are all sons and daughters of the King, and you are going home to meet your Father once again. And we, with you, are on that road and ride with you, glad of your company.
When you have taken your leap into faith, when you have realized the power of your intention, and your will, and your desire, and when you have begun to set your intention to seek, to set your will to be a servant of the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator, when you have awakened that magical part of yourself that knows that you can create your own creation and that which is forgiven by you is forgiven, and that which is not forgiven by you remains unforgiven, then you begin to be aware of the dance of Creation. You dance with an infinite variety of energy as you dance in the Creation of the Father. Every rock, every stream, every tree, all those things that you think of as nature are dancing with you and are responsive to you. It is important to realize that first and second-density entities such as we just mentioned do not have to be asked in order for synchronicities to occur with them. However, it is extremely helpful if you remember to thank the unseen guidance that you have, your higher self, your angels, those ministering beings that are attracted to you because of your energy, your vibration, your hopes, and your dreams. Ask them every day for their help, and thank them for being with you. That frees them to enter more fully into the process of offering you synchronicities.
Now, here’s the way that it works: once you have taken the leap into faith you set into motion a different set of rules. You are now awake, vibrant, magical, dancing with the energies around you, knowing that you are a part of all that there is, and that all that there is loves you as you love all that there is. Thusly, when you have a thought, it doesn’t simply roll around in your head and go “clunk” like a gutter ball at the bowling alley. The thought moves out into the dance. And that which wants to respond to that thought begins to find ways to enter into your reality. Entities meet. There is a song on the radio that says, “Yes, that thought that you were thinking just then is very good. Keep that up.” Your totem might show up! And if you do not know what your totem is, simply become aware of what tree you were drawn to, what bird speaks to you, what force of nature pulls at you and feels like something you want in your life, whether it be bird, beast, crystal, or tree. That kingdom, that nature spirit of tree or bird or beast or rock, will find a way to show up in your reality to underscore or emphasize a train of thought and help you to begin to build a personal store of intelligence.
Q’uo went on to say when we have taken our leap into faith, and when we have begun to set our intention to seek and to be a servant of the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator, when we have awakened that magical part of our self that knows that we can create our creation and that which is forgiven by us is forgiven, and that which is not forgiven by us remains unforgiven, then we begin to be aware of the dance of Creation, and we dance with an infinite variety of energy as we dance in the Creation of the Father, so every rock, every stream, every tree, and all those things that we think of as nature are dancing with us, and are responsive to us so it is important to realize that first and second-density entities do not have to be asked in order for synchronicities to occur with them, but it is helpful if we remember to thank the unseen guidance that we have: our higher self, our angels, those ministering beings that are attracted to us because of our vibration and our dreams, so we ask them every day for their help, and thank them for being with us because that frees them to enter more fully into the process of offering us synchronicities. Q’uo continued by saying once we have taken the leap into faith we set into motion a different set of rules since we are now awake, magical, and dancing with the energies around us, knowing that we are a part of all that there is, and that all that there is loves us as we love all that there is, so when we have a thought, it doesn’t simply roll around in our head and go “clunk” like a gutter ball at the bowling alley, but the thought moves out into the dance, and that which wants to respond to that thought begins to find ways to enter into our reality, and entities meet, and there is a song on the radio that says, “Yes, that thought that we were thinking just then is very good. Keep that up,” and our totem might show up, and that kingdom, that nature spirit of tree, or bird, or beast, or rock will find a way to show up in our reality to emphasize a train of thought and help us to begin to build a personal store of intelligence. On April 1, 2006, Q’uo spoke about the dance we all share:
It is the dance of the heavens and the Earth, the elements and the essences of creation. In infinite variety and color, the patterns of the dance swirl in sacred geometry, in joy, in thanksgiving, and in grace and symmetry that create a beauty that is never ending, ever flowing, and an expression of unconditional Love in its every facet and coloration.
Now, you see, that which is spiritual or metaphysical must be learned by you without proof. You will find that when things are truly oriented to the spiritual there is no way of proving it that people will believe. It is useless to try to find proof. Yes, this or that or the other phenomenon may well be real. It does not matter. There is no other entity that you have to convince. What you are attempting to do is orient yourself once you have left the box. It’s a larger universe. It’s a puzzling universe. It often seems chaotic. Therefore, it is very helpful to have these subjectively interesting phenomena take place, these synchronicities of which we were speaking.
Once you begin to become aware that synchronicities are valid and are your means of determining what is true and what is not, you will energize that interaction with the creation and you will find synchronicities occurring thick and fast, almost to the point where you cannot sit down at the end of the day and remember them all. Pay attention to all of those which you can. They are there to help you build your subjective awareness of the truth. One more thing that we would say before we open this meeting to further queries. It is an understandable response which you may have to this exciting, magical thing that you have discovered, synchronicity. It creates within you a feeling of validation and support and you would like all of those for whom you love and care to have that same experience.

On November 15, 1990, Q’uo described our subjective awareness as joy:
We would know those things which hamper the subjective awareness, or that which we call joy. Perhaps the single greatest confusion concerning joy is its often perceived interchangeability with your word, happiness. Your culture so values happiness, or at least its pursuit, that it was declared, by those who created your governing instrument, as one of the chief foundations upon which style and method of government was to be modeled. For it was seen as a social activity of a government that was desirable to give to its citizens the opportunity to seek happiness.
. . .
Joy, upon the other hand, is that which each entity must create. For as Love abides absolutely, so does the experience and joy at the touch of Love’s presence. Like the deeper Loves, it is remembered rather than met for the first time, being each entity’s birthright. There is no thing which may remove or rob from you the joy which is perceived by the immediacy of the presence of that which is holy, that which is blessed, that which is true and beautiful. These experiences of joy are your own gifts of grace from Love itself, and nothing can rob you, either of the memory or of the confident expectation of these immediate experiences.
My friends, we ask you to take a step back whenever the urge to preach to those who have not asked for your preaching overtakes you. Close your mouth, open your eyes of love and listen to your loved ones, your acquaintances, those whom you would help. Do not relate to them by what you know. Relate to them with love and respect. Listen to that which they have to say. If there is no opening for all of these wonderful things that you have learned lately, so be it. Amen, Alleluia.
You still are a being whose very essence is love. Let the love shine. Find ways to support, and encourage, and nourish, and nurture. And lose all hope of being that awakening factor that will bring them into a happier state. You may drop a thought here and there, as this instrument is fond of saying, like Johnny Appleseed. But remember, he ate the apple first. Those things that you were going to say to another, say them to yourself. And when you have eaten that wonderful apple with its delicious thoughts and concepts, toss it over your shoulder. Let it fall where it will. Do not look back. It is not your job to enlighten any but yourself. Now, if there are those who would ask you questions, feel free to offer all that you have to offer in those regards, but make a clear distinction in your mind between responding to an asked question and sermonizing to those who have not asked for a sermon. What will affect those about you is not your knowledge. It is that which shines through you, the Love of the Creator.
To live a life that supports spiritual seeking, we do recommend that you find ways to meet your Creator in the silence on a daily basis. There are some who love this experience of the silence so much that they spend much time there and there are others who find it challenging to dwell in the silence without some focus. If that be true, walking in nature is often very helpful because there are various foci for your eyes and your ears—may we say, my friends, not the iPod or the boom box. Let the silence prevail and you will find it speaking to you. And then when you come out of that silence, sing, my friends! Laugh and love and feel the joy of being in this creation, a child and heir of the infinite One.

On April 19, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the value of our seeking the silence:
As you continually offer yourselves as instruments of the Creator’s Love and peace, you shall find great aid in several things. Firstly, you shall find enormous help in entering the silence. The tremendous learnings and new awarenesses with which this time is so rich, to those who have ears to hear and hearts to understand, offer you many gifts. Indeed, too many gifts for you to assimilate without moving into the silence and letting these new learnings and awarenesses be seated and integrated into your deep mind and into the basic balances of your energy body.
Just as sleep offers rest to the physical body that it may reset its systems, cleanse toxins from the body, and restore the body to the balance which is its best balance for continued life and growth, just so entering the silence gives your metaphysical body, the energy body, the time of rest and recuperation that it needs from the hustle and bustle of incoming catalyst and hard-won victories. It allows new learnings to be seated in the subconscious mind. It allows new balances to be confirmed and implemented. It cleanses the toxins of fear, self-doubt, and low self-worth from the system. And it resets the system at its best tuning.
You may think of yourself in this wise as a spiritual athlete—one who is in training. Entering the silence is the equivalent of exercise. Some are so fit by nature for this task that they are drawn to the silence irresistibly, and for those we have few words, for your hunger and your thirst shall bring you into the silence again and again.
We thank the one known as Jim for creating that query. And at this time we would open the session to any follow-up that he may have. Is there a follow-up, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.
Jim: Q’uo, I do not have a follow-up question. A follow-up question I considered asking you just answered! And I appreciate that very, very much. Thank you so much.
We are those of Q’uo, and, my brother, we thank you with hearts wide open. May we ask, then, at this time if there is another query from this group before we leave this instrument? We are those of Q’uo.
Questioner: Can you tell me more about this strange language that I speak and what the purpose is behind it?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister, and would be glad to share with you a limited amount concerning this—and we say limited because we would not walk for you upon this path. We would not learn for you. Therefore, we will attempt in a general sense to give you some thoughts that may be helpful. As this instrument was saying before the meditation, when one is willing to see the self as an instrument that can receive and send out thoughts, one discovers that one can put oneself in progressively focused states in which the focus is not in the physical but in the metaphysical world. The focus upon vibration itself is especially apt to bring one into a state in which one is very vulnerable to vibration.
There are many, many aspects to this study of that which there is to pick up from the physical universe which holds and nests within its atoms, shall we say, the entirety of all the unseen worlds. Therefore, there is an enormous population of those who would wish to communicate with those who are sensitive and can pick up that signal that is coming through. This instrument recalls the one known as Willie Nelson who said that he never had to make up a melody. He would just pick one out of the air because they were singing all the time.

On May 19, 2007, Q’uo described the unseen worlds and how we may access them:
As you love, you shall be loved beyond all imagining. And indeed, all entities are already loved at the soul level by those from the unseen worlds of your own planet and from other entities in other planetary influences who have been drawn to you because of your nature, your beauty, your gifts, and your hope to serve. Know that you are surrounded by a cloud of angelic and positive beings who love you and wish only to help you to wake up, to learn, and to serve with deftness, skillfulness and joy.
Consequently, all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways, wish to communicate with those who are within the domain of the Earth world. For the most part, only those vibrations are able to penetrate the chemical physical vehicle enough to be heard and to express which are compatible with your basic vibrations. This gives a certain amount of protection. But in general, the experience of speaking in a language you do not know spontaneously is an artifact of the phenomenon where you have picked up a thought form or an entity—in their effect upon you, these two are interchangeable—which is happy to communicate either in essence, that is to say with vibrations made with your voice and your wind, your breath, or in an actual language, either of this world or not.
The experience itself is impressive to the one who experiences it because it is part of that general collection of intelligence of which we were speaking. It validates the fact that there is more in heaven and earth than was dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio. This instrument always gets that quote wrong, but perhaps you know what we mean. In a subjective sense it is a strengthening, validating experience. The side of it that is not helpful is that you cannot bring it back and share it with people. If it has given you joy, you can say, “It has given me joy,” but you cannot share that joy.
Then Q’uo said all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways, wish to communicate with those who are within the domain of the Earth world, but only those vibrations which are able to penetrate your chemical physical vehicle, enough to be heard and to express, are those which are compatible with your basic vibrations, so this gives a certain amount of protection, but the experience of speaking in a language you do not know is an artifact of the phenomenon where you have picked up a thought form or an entity—in their effect upon you, these two are interchangeable—which is happy to communicate either in essence, that is to say with vibrations made with your voice and your breath, or in an actual language, either of this world or not. Q’uo continued by saying the experience itself is impressive to the one who experiences it because it is part of that general collection of intelligence of which we were speaking, and it validates the fact that there is more in heaven and earth than was dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio, so Carla always gets that quote wrong, but perhaps you know what we mean, and in a subjective sense it is a validating experience, but the side of it that is not helpful is that you cannot bring it back and share it with people, so if it has given you joy, you can say, “It has given me joy,” but you cannot share that joy. On May 28, 1989, Q’uo spoke of the nature of our subjective sense:
It was part of the question that there were many upon your inner planes which were at all times available and might aid the entity. This is indeed so. None is alone ever. Each is beloved not only by the Creator but by those who have chosen to be companions within the life experience of this spirit. Thus, the second thing which we would encourage in each is a program of daily, humble, simple, listening, silent meditation. There are voices deep within you of the Creator, of what this instrument would call the Spirit, and many others, the higher self, of guides, of the inner planes, of the deeper recesses of the self, which in a subjective sense is equal to the description of the outer spirits above, that can give information to you which you are unable to reach or have access to while in the normal waking state.
This is true of all psychic experiences. They are for you, for you alone, and they can impress you deeply, yet you cannot bring another with you on such a journey. This is as it should be, my sister. Let that facet of it be acceptable to you, for you would not wish to learn for others any more than we wish to learn for you. How you wish to treat this phenomenon, what energy you wish to give to it and so forth, these are the province of your will, your desire, and your consciousness. Take it into your heart in silence, and on the side, of mind and rational thinking and so forth.
We are aware that you are intending to come back to this instrument’s teaching concerning channeling, and we feel that you will find much of interest in that which she has to say at that time. It is good to apply the mind to that which is before you—analyze it, think about it, interpolate, project, all of those things that the mind does so well. Simply do not allow the mind to run you. It is a horse to be ridden and enjoyed. It is not a slave master, and you are not a slave. Take up the reins of your mind and do not allow it to gallop away with your consciousness. For it will lead you into dead ends, into blind alleys that have no outlet and that are not satisfying. Move, when you are working spiritually, always within the kingdom of consciousness.
Q’uo went on to say this is true of all psychic experiences, since they are for you alone, and they can impress you deeply, yet you cannot bring another with you on such a journey, and this is as it should be, so let that facet of it be acceptable to you, for you would not wish to learn for others any more than we wish to learn for you, and how you wish to treat this phenomenon, what energy you wish to give to it are the province of your will, and your consciousness, so take it into your heart in silence, and on the side of rational thinking. Q’uo went on to say that we are aware that you are intending to come back to Carla’s teaching concerning channeling, and we feel that you will find much of interest in that which she has to say at that time, so it is good to apply the mind to that which is before you: analyze it, think about it, project, and all of those things that the mind does so well, but do not allow the mind to run you since it is a horse to be ridden and enjoyed, but it is not a slave master, and you are not a slave, so take up the reins of your mind and do not allow it to gallop away with your consciousness, for it will lead you into blind alleys that have no outlet and that are not satisfying, so when you are working spiritually, always move within the kingdom of consciousness. On April 18, 1999, Q’uo spoke of how we may keep our mind from running us:
There is the tendency to apply the self liberally throughout the daily experience, to spread oneself thinly, shall we say, to engage the mind often as a means by which one navigates through the cultural experience. This experience has been enhanced by many tools and gadgets that take one quickly here and there and require from one a great deal of information, time, effort, and thought. Thus, the mind is like a plant which has been given a great deal of water, of soil, of sun, of nutrients, and of attention and has grown in large degree as a result of this overemphasis on its functioning into a kind of machine which has a momentum of its own being, we shall say, for we find a difficulty in adequately describing how active the mind complex of your peoples is.
We find that the meditative state is, indeed, that place where one may approach the quieting of the mind yet find time and again examples of its rambunctiousness. That you are able to become aware of this chatter or momentum of the mind and have been able from time to time to be able to displace this chatter with the one-pointed focus upon the silence within is an achievement of note and is the path towards the eventual balancing of this mechanism so that there is the possibility of entering into a sacred place within the mind complex and be unhindered by the activity of the constant stream of thoughts that is the natural concomitant to the kind of style that most of your people find themselves living.
Thus, our suggestion to you is to continue that which you have done tirelessly and that is to notice when the mind is running, and then to place that mental picture aside so that the main focus of the mind may return to that one-pointed focus upon stillness. This is an exercise which does engage the mind upon a simpler level than the normal daily routine. If there is a scent of incense or a sound as of your music, or your chanting that you find relaxing, we would suggest that you engage these activities to enhance the process of relaxing the mind process.
There is no easy answer for any entity within this environment who wishes to find the peaceful place within, for each must deal with this mental activity and the tendency to take over the focus. We can only suggest your perseverance and the application of the light-hearted attitude in so doing. For it is the effort that you make, the regularity of your meditations, that is of importance in the real gain from this stage of the meditative practice. As you continue to invest your time and your effort there also is a momentum of this investiture that is made that will eventually take its hold upon the meditative endeavor.
May we answer you further, my sister? We are those of Q’uo.
Questioner: Thank you.
We thank you, my sister. May we ask if there is another query in this group? We are those of Q’uo.
J: If it is appropriate to ask this question, I would appreciate an answer. I’m wondering about the asthma I get around animals and how sometimes in the past it’s been severe, and sometimes it doesn’t seem to be as severe. I’m just wondering if there is a purpose for this in my life. I’d appreciate an answer. I’m assuming that if I ask for the purpose that would be infringing on my free will and my right to learn this on my own, but I suppose I’m looking for some validation that there is a purpose to which I should pay attention.
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. You anticipated our need to speak more generally than perhaps you would wish, but we can certainly offer you some food for thought. Get your fork and knife ready! My brother, there are often ways in which your higher self and you, before the incarnation, determine a system of fail-safes. These may be mental limitations, emotional limitations, or physical limitations. When you move a certain degree off the path, when you’ve become enough distracted from that which you, in your soul stream, wish to learn within this lifetime, that a kind of default setting gets activated.
You do not have to leave your life in the world in order to do this. It’s a matter of taking a day or two, or however long that which you call asthma might ask you to take, and gently, without judgment for yourself, move into that silence, and let yourself be flooded with Love. Indeed, it takes only a moment once you have practiced. It is always worth noting, when there is a physical ailment or when there is an emotional difficulty or mental difficulty that triggered it, where your mind has gone and where you would like it to stay. Then it is a matter of opening your arms and embracing yourself, loving yourself through and through, precisely the way you are. This is not an exercise in any kind of judgment. It is an exercise in acceptance, love, blessing, and inclusion. It is in no sense a punishment. Rather it is the nudge of spirit encouraging the entity with a listening heart to attend to the unseen portions of his walk in faith.
J asked: “I’m wondering about the asthma I get around animals and how sometimes in the past it’s been severe, and sometimes it doesn’t seem to be as severe. I’m just wondering if there is a purpose for this in my life.” Q’uo began by saying you anticipated our need to speak more generally than you would wish, but we can offer you food for thought, so there are ways in which your higher self and you, before the incarnation, determined a system of fail-safes, and these may be mental limitations, emotional limitations, or physical limitations, so when you’ve become distracted from that which you, in your soul stream, wish to learn within this lifetime, that a kind of default setting gets activated. Now Q’uo said you do not have to leave your life in the world in order to do this because it’s a matter of taking however long asthma might ask you to take, and without judgment for yourself, move into that silence, and let yourself be flooded with Love, and it takes only a moment once you have practiced this, and it is worth noting, when there is a physical ailment, or an emotional difficulty, or mental difficulty that triggered it, where your mind has gone and where you would like it to stay then it is a matter of opening your arms to loving yourself, and this is not an exercise in any kind of judgment, but it is an exercise in love, blessing, and inclusion, so it is not a sense of punishment, but it is the nudge of spirit encouraging the entity with a listening heart to attend to the unseen portions of his walk in faith. On July 8, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the value of our loving our self:
Do any of you who think you came to this planet and entered into its illusion to be untouched by it? Spend time each day to fall in love with yourself and you are a child of God. The Creator loves you with a Love so passionate no words could express it. The Creator Loves just precisely who and what you are and the Creator sends to each person who is blind His companions along the way, who reach out the hand of the Creator to you and call out, “I Love you.” These are the words of the Creator. That is why we ask each of you to love each other because each of you need someone’s help in loving yourself.
Oh, how we wish we could emphasize to you greatly enough the enormous difference you can make in your life experience to truly love the self as the self is, with its biases towards excellence and biases towards what the self perceives as faults. Does not each entity have many faults? As you forgive your comrades along the way realize that you are forgiven yourself and each time to sit in meditation spend a moment within the deepest part of yourself to say to yourself, “I love you with my whole heart,” the love, the thought which is the lesson of this density.
May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.
J: No. Thank you, Q’uo. I’m pretty grateful for your answer.
We thank you, my brother. May we ask if there is another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
R: I have a query, Q’uo, and it is about the support of this instrument. If you can share with Carla and us some things that perhaps bring her help that we can keep in mind as we try to support her in her work of channeling, and as Carla tries to support herself to continue the sharing of information that comes through this channeling, we would appreciate it.
[Side one of tape ends.]
(Carla channeling)
There are a few simple things which you may do. See her clearly, love her dearly, and tell her the best truth you know. Everyone is equally special. Everyone has gifts to give. And everyone deserves your best. In order to serve, you have to begin with yourself, so see yourself clearly, love yourself dearly, and tell yourself the best truth you know. And this shall instill in you the perfect response system for supporting others.
May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.
R: I think you answered a lot deeper than I first thought. I could feel it as you were speaking. Thank you. I was after more suggestions that the instrument could use as she prepares for these sessions. Can you speak to it?
We are those of Q’uo, and, my brother, were we to speak to how this instrument prepares for sessions, we would indeed be infringing upon her free will as she focuses every attention upon that very question whenever she begins to channel. She is well aware, and we can easily say this without infringing upon her free will, that the basic spiritual principle to hold in mind as one begins to tune for channeling is that all entities at all times are instruments. For what shall you be channel? For what shall she be a channel, whether she tunes for contact with us or tunes for contact with the world at large? To take oneself seriously is to take upon oneself the living of a life that will support the channeling. This the instrument knows. This we may say without fear of infringing upon her free will.
May we answer you further, my brother? We are those of Q’uo.
R: Thank you for answering that. I do not have any question on that topic, but you mentioned something about conjugating your name and I’m not sure if that was a joke or if you actually meant it. I don’t speak Latin. I believe you have picked a name that comes from that language.
We are those of Q’uo, and, my brother, we were indeed making what could kindly and charitably be called a pun. We apologize for our frivolous nature. The word “Q’uo” is indeed a part of the language of Latin, which is much conjugated. However, my brother, the apostrophe is our very own! May we ask if there is a final query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
[Pause]
We are those of Q’uo, and from the resounding silence that we hear through this instrument’s admittedly often dim ears, we ascertain that we have exhausted the queries in this group at this time. Thusly, we pause only to let each of you know what a joy it is to meditate with you. You are so beautiful, my brothers. That wonderful way that you color the light that comes through you from the Creator with your personality and your character is simply wonderful. And as you have blended your energies this evening and created a dome of Light that is far higher than this dwelling place, we are in awe of your courage, your intentions, and your beauty. Thank you.
At this time we will leave you, as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It has been a joy sharing our humble thoughts with you. We leave you. We are those of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai.
This morning I linked my computer with Anna in Nashville, and we listened to Carla channel Ra in Session #72 where our negative friend of fifth-density attempted to get Carla to leave her body when we were having our meditation in the living room before going into the Ra room for our Ra session. Carla asked me to hold her hand, so our negative friend was unable to get her to leave her body, but they were able to cause her to become unconscious. So, after a while Carla came to, and before our meditation the next day we performed the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram to keep our negative friend out of the living room so that we could have the session with Ra.
This afternoon I went outside and pumped half of the water out of the fishpond. While the water was being pumped out, I put fertilizer in each of the five water lilies, and then got the netting in place with the stones and bricks and extension cords. While the fresh water was being pumped into the fishpond I spread four bags of Western Red Cedar mulch over the Nandina Bushes on the east side of the fishpond, and then I transplanted a tray of Begonias in the two little flower gardens on the north side of the fishpond. When the water level got about two inches over the tube for the fountain, I turned the fountain on and saw that it was the perfect height to keep from splashing out of the fishpond. Then I threw some Aquasafe into the fishpond to neutralize the chlorine in the water. At 4 pm this afternoon I joined Anika and Derek, who were in Chicago, for their monthly prayer for peace on planet Earth. There were seekers from all around the world that helped to get the gathering going by sharing their recent experiences of a spiritual nature that were most meaningful to them. Then Anika offered a number of prayers for peace and love as we all meditated. And, by chance, it was Derek’s 37th birthday today, and everyone wished him a “Happy Birthday!!!”
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 1
Eternal Peace
I am the voice of Jesus the Christ in the world today. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.
The kittens upon this instrument’s lap bask in each other’s affection. The sounds of the neighborhood, the barking of dogs, the singing of birds, the crunch of far-away tires on gravel filter gently through the cool summer morning and all seems ecstatic, peaceful and easy.
Yet this is a peace of this experience. There is a further peace, a peace beyond understanding, the advent of which comes to one who finally perceives the eternal peace of which all the sensual descriptions are but small manifestations.
Carry this eternal peace in your thoughts, in your heart, and in your actions this day. The situations that seem not so peaceful to the world may still be blessed by your perception, founded in Christ.
It is in the Love and the peace of Jesus the Christ that we leave you now and always. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
