I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 103 quote comes from the Introduction and the section on why tools are needed for consciousness expansion:
Carla’s goals for this section: This is a recap of the material in 101 and 102, getting the reader to use these resources I will probably not us any quotations here, just summarize what has gone before.
However, I am going to use quotes from Q’uo, Ra, and Carla herself to illustrate the thoughts that I have given to Carla’s outline so readers don’t think I am just creating thoughts out of thin air.
Introduction
Why “tools” are needed for Consciousness Expansion
Since our third-density minds are not yet advanced enough to accomplish action at a distance, we need tools to do any kind of work that we set our minds to do. Fortunately, our minds are able to use various kinds of tools to accomplish a great variety of work such as meditation, contemplation, and intellectual analysis. The more that we use any tool the better we become at using it until it becomes second nature to us as we incorporate it into our minds as memory and into our bodies as muscle memory. This process could be likened to expanding our sense of our selves by means of using tools. The more that we use the tools the greater is our sense of self which, paradoxically, continues to expand into new discoveries of our self the more we use any tool. On September 5, 2010 Carla gave a talk at our Homecoming Gathering on how we can use our minds to set our intentions to make choices regarding our spiritual growth:
The density that we now enjoy, as the tribe of humankind, is the Density of Choice. The first point I’d like to make is that free will recapitulates the Creator’s choice to know Itself. In Its choice to know Itself it flung all of us bits of the Creator out to experience all that there is, to choose all that we wish to desire and to pursue it and set our intentions as we will, to use our free will to make choices.
Now, what choices are the important ones? I think we all really know the direction that that answer will take because we all have feelings for the ethics of this world. We all have personal ethics. We all have things we will do and things we absolutely will not do. And as we gain in life experience more and more, our choice-points offer themselves to us and we get to practice the choice-making. We get to come to one decision after another and choose either for our own benefit in a selfish sense or for the benefit of those whom we wish to serve.
This growth of our sense of self is especially true in the area of consciousness expansion. Our entire universe is created by the Love, or the Consciousness, of the One Infinite Creator. The Creator used its free will to know Itself better by creating the infinite universe and all the infinite intelligences within the universe by Love creating Light that then condenses into various levels of what we call matter. In the third density each of us is a portion of that One Creator, and we are attempting to travel the path of reunification with the Consciousness of Love. We are attempting to expand our third-density consciousness to include more and more of the Consciousness of the Creator by using the great variety of tools that are available for the seeker of truth. In the following quote Ra described how we can become the Creator in the magical sense:
74.11 Questioner: Now, what I am trying to get at is how these disciplines affect the energy centers and the power, shall I say, of the white magician. Could you, will you tell me how that works?
Ra: I am Ra. The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold. One, know yourself. Two, accept yourself. Three, become the Creator.
The third step is that step which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves. In relation to the pursuit of the magical working the continuing discipline of the personality involves the adept in knowing itself, accepting itself, and thus clearing the path towards the great indigo gateway to the Creator. To become the Creator is to become all that there is. There is then no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching. As the consciousness of the indigo ray becomes more crystalline, more work may be done; more may be expressed from intelligent infinity.
At noon today I joined two very good friends of over 50 years in a zoom meet that we hold every three weeks to discuss Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh and The Ra Contact. We always start with a little check-in just to catch up on what is currently happening in each of our lives. Then we each take turns reading a couple of pages of one book and then the other with occasional timeouts taken to discuss any topic that seems unclear or which might need elaboration. As always, it is fun to be with dear friends of many years and share our spiritual beingness.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 7
You Are The Rainfall
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ and greet you in the full consciousness of divine love.
The sun awakes and peeps over the horizon. Does the sun have eyes that gaze upon the earth? We think not, for were it to gaze and judge, the sun would shine on one but not upon another.
The rain moves over the land and feeds alike the stinking sewer and the fertile farmland. There is no judgment within the creation of the Father but only the balancing of harmonies.
You, too, are the sun. You, too, may shine upon all or you may choose to save your light for some and not for others.
You, too, are the generous, gentle rainfall that makes all things new. Yet you, too, may choose through judgment to restrict that blessed plenty of water, that precious food of life.
This day we ask one thing of each. Know that you shine, that you can be most fertile in fruit as a child of the Father.
But know also that judgment removes you from the Father’s side so that you are the prodigal son or daughter. Then the sun does not shine nor the rain fall in your own private world. For as you judge others, so shall your experience be.
Refrain this day from judgment. Ask only for the opportunity to love, to shine, and to bless with your plenty.
In peace, in love, and in joy we leave you, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
