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…

(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.
