I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 10, 1987:
[A question from S regarding this statement by Q’uo] “We would speak to you this evening about love. The call this evening circles around many concerns, yet there is only one response to the many-sided concern of illusion, and that is gently, cleanly and with grace to suggest the turning of the attention always to that which is the unity, the mystery, the Love which is behind all the many scenes that shine, as if each part of the illusion were a sequin sewn on to an almost unimaginably large structure or model for the delight and benefit of all, that all could walk around and behold the beauty of the illusion.”
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator whom we serve with our whole mind and heart. We thank each for requesting our presence during this meditation, and offer to each face of the Creator our own face, Creator to Creator and Love to Love. It is a great privilege to share being with you at this time. We thank both the one known as Carla and the one known as S for relaxing and ceasing to be concerned about what we have to say. It is well that each remember that all views are fallible and that none is teacher except to the self in any final capacity. We would not wish that our words mean too much or be taken with ultimate seriousness, but only used if helpful and discarded if not.
We would speak to you this evening about Love. The call this evening circles around many concerns, yet there is only one response to the many-sided concern of illusion, and that is gently, cleanly and with grace to suggest the turning of the attention always to that which is the unity, the mystery, the Love which is behind all the many scenes that shine, as if each part of the illusion were a sequin sewn on to an almost unimaginably large structure or model for the delight and benefit of all, that all could walk around and behold the beauty of the illusion.
Yet how easy it is, my friends, to come too close to these glittering false sides, never seeing the stitches that hold illusion to illusion, never seeing the bare chicken wire beneath the papier maché, never seeing the hollowness of the interior of illusion. Because illusion, like an onion, peels to nothing. It cannot be assumed that there is nothing beyond the illusion. Indeed, we suggest that it is that very marked nature which illusion carries which suggests equally markedly that a mystery lies beneath that which is seen.
Thus, we wish to speak with you this evening about Love, for it is not helpful to speak of that which is not, unless we are able to inspire within those who seek some feeling for a direction of further profitable inquiry.
We ponder within this instrument’s mind the direction that we shall take in this speaking, for this instrument is clearer than is its normal wont and is not aiding us. We have two separate points to make, so we shall make first one and then the other. We would suggest to this instrument that in the future this instrument trust its clarity to a greater extent than it is at this moment, for without this instrument’s aid, we are not as able to offer inspiration. Pure channeling may well be full of clarity, yet it is the color and fire of personality and poetry which only the channel can offer which sparks and enlivens our simple messages. We shall proceed.
It is interesting that Q’uo suggests that Carla trust her own clarity and aid Q’uo by her own personality and poetry to help enliven Q’uo’s message. Carla always suggested to her channeling students that they furnish their minds with spiritual principles and concepts, especially from the Ra contact, so that they could have them available for use by whatever Confederation source they were channeling. I also remember from my beginning years of channeling in the early 80’s that the Confederation also suggested that they considered the best channeling to be approximately 70% of the Confederation entity and 30% of the instrument as a means of validating the instrument’s spiritual journey.
Firstly, we would like to suggest that there is only one arena for the true study of ultimate things—that is, one’s own consciousness. Thus it is that meditation remains always the one discipline that is not to be ignored, avoided or shortened beyond a reasonable point. Its dailiness is a majority of its virtue, although any attempt at meditation is always encouraged. The benefits of cumulative meditational time are far more than the simple addition of day-to-day, week-to-week, and year-to-year might suggest. The meditation held daily is a commitment to the sacramental nature of the temple of the body, mind and spirit that is the self.
It is not known to an entity within the illusion when each moment for realization or transformation shall occur. However, one who meditates on a daily basis with intent to open to whatever transformation there may be in the silence is expecting and seeking on a daily basis the opening of the doors within the consciousness which are to some extent openable in a random manner, so that a great view which might be seen past one particular door might be missed entirely were meditation not to occur upon the appropriate day. He who watches shall not be surprised. He who does not watch shall perhaps not know the surprise that has been missed.
Q’uo said that they wanted to speak about the mystery of Love that forms the very fabric of creation and which exists everywhere. Q’uo suggested that meditation on a daily basis was the best way to discover more of the mystery of Love within one’s own being and that a transformation of the self may occur at any moment of meditation. On June 9, 1974, Hatonn spoke of how meditation can aid in one’s transformation:
The last teacher with whom you are familiar who so demonstrated this transformation of thought was known to you as Jesus. This man lived and acted quite simply. However, his thinking was unique. This thinking was recognized by those around him as being unique. It was also recognized as being correct by many of those who were aware of it. We wish to bring to you that which you seek—that transformation of thought that has been demonstrated so clearly to [you] by this man. My friends, you may obtain this transformation through meditation. It is of the awareness. Spend time in meditation. Spend time to become aware of that which is already yours—a total knowledge of the love and the understanding of our Creator. This is all that is necessary for you to serve in your fullest capacity.
This is true not only of the meditative state itself, but of the meditative view of the present moment. The very sunlight, the white-capped sea, and the waving long-leafed branches of summer burst with the vitality of realization, for they dwell as do all things within the consciousness of Love and are part of the one original Thought. Thus, one who is in a contemplative state, watching not the shiny face of illusion, but the face of the Creator within each illusion, may see that one original Thought in color after color, distortion after distortion. Some distortions may seem horrible and some wonderful, yet all are the Creator and realization lies within each moment’s burden of Love which is infinite to the discerning spirit.
Love cannot be seen by those who are not willing to open and call upon the consciousness of Love. Thus, there is always the leap, shall we say, of faith that states as a necessary assumption that the mystery behind all the things that are not is in the end the one thing about the illusion which cannot be denied—that is, Love. We may talk about the terrible distortions of Love, we may drag the name of Love through the dirt of every battle and war that has ever been fought, we may deprive Love of every satisfaction it has ever been given by poet or musician, yet there is not one honest spirit that can deny the palpable effect of Love within the life experience.
Thus, the leap of faith is not so great, but only an optimistic telling of what each entity knows is the most creative and powerful force, illusory or real, within the creation.
There is always something in the present moment to spark the heart and engage the passion of a seeker, for there is always a chance for adoration, forgiveness or some expression of the Love of the one infinite Creator. This is one thing which we wish to say, for when many things are in doubt about one’s perceptions, it is well to move to the only perception which has a central part in the evolution of spirit.
Q’uo said that there is only the Love of the one great Original Thought in all of the creation, whether we are talking of the beauty of nature, the horrors of war, the work of the poets and musicians, or any event within the present moment. We can feel this Love in meditation or in the conscious leap of faith that tells us that Love is the most powerful force in the creation. On October 21, 2001, Q’uo gave an example of how a leap of faith can take us to the Love of the Creator:
Thus when we speak of the leap of faith we speak specifically of leaping into a void, putting oneself in a situation where there is no control. But, indeed, the straightest road from fear to Love is faith, the ability to move beyond the tangle in the stream of energy, back to the Source, and it is done not by moving to anything but only from the position of fear.
The other thing we wish to say. . . we apologize for not being able to work in a clever way, but we do not believe it is central. It is only that we perceive that there is a difficulty which we may address, and thus perhaps be of service. That difficulty which we perceive is the acceptance of anyone’s point of view, including one’s own, as being of an importance which loses sight of the perspective of eternity.
My children, many are the things which shall pass through your conscious minds in the infinite amount of, what you call, time that exists for you as a conscious being. Many are the arenas you shall enter and leave, many are the life experiences which shall store up for you ten things which you have learned which will help you become of greater service and ten million things which you have learned which are of no use whatsoever once the incarnation has been processed.
Thus, it is well to care not more, but rather less about the thinking, the rightness, the probabilities, the future and all the many, many things which go into the intricate design of creating a lived life day by day. Turn, rather, to questions such as, “What is the motive? What service am I performing? What gift may I give? What consolation may I offer?” for consolation, justification, and all human gratification, if we may use that term, whatsoever shall come not from seeking, yet but seeking rather to offer aid to others. This is unfortunate from the standpoint of these within an incarnation, but we may suggest—and again this is not a central point—that from the standpoint which we hold as those called to offer inspiration, that…
Q’uo went on to say that it is not helpful to one’s spiritual journey to accept any point of view that does not include the concept of eternity, for only a few of our experiences within the illusion help us grow spiritually while the great majority do not. Rather than thinking about what is right, about probabilities and about the future, it is more helpful to think of how to be of service to others. On June 29, 1988, Q’uo suggested we meditate on how to be of service to others:
Thusly, we wish to encourage each by saying, in your meditations focus upon the Love that you feel and the Love that you are receiving in the eternal and infinite process which is real life. We realize that this may not seem at first blush to hold the key to someone who is making a decision about how to be of service to others. However, once the self has worked for some time upon developing an inner intensity, a fiery and creative Love, and an awareness of the infinity of Love and power and wisdom which come from the Creator, the person who feels these things will find the experience of self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness fall away.
[Pause]
I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We apologize for the delay, but this instrument was unwilling to proceed due to its own concern that it was becoming too great a portion of the message.
And again we say to this instrument, if we may take the time, and we thank you for allowing us to do that, that it is well for this instrument to focus upon the contact and to accept the responsibility for a portion of conscious channeling, rather than to refrain from allowing any organizational abilities which this instrument has in profusion to be allowed to surface. It is not helpful to the contact, and, indeed, we are having some difficulty with the instrument. Perhaps this instrument needs to listen to this message, for if it is true that all seekers need to focus not on what is not, but upon what is, and to judge not the self or others, but seek only the best intention and service. Then is this not particularly so for those who seek to serve by offering the service of vocal channeling? Is pride or humility, indeed, any stance regarding the illusion, acceptable or as acceptable to the self as the allowing of freedom to the self in faith that that which is is, that love is not only true, but infinitely powerful; light, not only verity, but infinitely capable of anguish and darkness?
Where is there room for fear in a life lived in faith? And if there is no fear, then there is freedom. You see and deplore fear in others. Take it not upon yourselves. Limit not yourselves, but in true humility take upon yourself the yoke of one who serves, and serve in the name of the infinite Creator—no finite creator shall you serve, my children, for why would you? You seek infinity, power, truth and eternal peace, the peace of unity, and all those things are yours only as you manifest them, only as you believe them, thus manifesting to yourself, only as you open your eyes in faith and thus shine not your light, but your greater Self’s light to others. Why should you accept human limitation and lack? You are channels for the infinite Creator and infinite things are your birthright and ours.
Once again in this channeling session Q’uo stopped to remind Carla that she should take part in the channeling process because she had organizational abilities that would aid the message Q’uo was speaking of. Then Q’uo said that maybe Carla needed to listen to the message coming through her and not judge herself for sharing what can be of service to others by serving the infinite Creator, and in faith she could serve others by shining the Light of the Creator to others. On November 26, 1989, Q’uo spoke again of how we may shine the Light of the Creator to others:
If your love is of the Creator and of those in whose eyes you see shining the Light of the one infinite Creator, then you are one who may radiate to that person. Often no words are necessary. It is well to move with the deepest instincts, to give a hug, to give a kiss, to give verbal support, to leave alone, to treat as precious each entity, each imperishable light being that is about you.
We apologize that we have had to stop and go in this channeling, yet we are grateful for your patience, and would at this time transfer to the one known as Jim. I am known to you as Q’uo. We transfer.
This morning I continued the painting of the garage focusing on the back of the garage which is a single car garage built when this house was built 100 years ago. Later the double car garage was built onto the front of the single car garage. First, I painted the frame around the window in the same dark blue that I painted the back of the peak below the roof line of the double car garage yesterday. Then I painted the peak below the roofline of the back of the single car garage.
This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food and some kitty litter. My second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some food for myself and some aluminum foil. My last stop was at Kroger’s where I bought two large white potatoes.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
September 4
The Deep Ache For Love
I am of the spirit of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of that divine love.
The branches of intellect seem to many to be those holding the most fruit. And, indeed, that vine of connected thoughts grows sturdily and well in the environment of the everyday world. Yet the spirit of love is most often found within the homelier, seemingly mundane details of work and play.
How do you apprehend the love of the living God? With your thoughts? With your heart? Or with an ache so profound that it can be said to come from the roots of being? In this deep ache lies the yearning of love for love, for each of you is divine, the son or daughter of the living God. May you seek well and without pride for words or deeds but with that divine growing hunger of love for itself.
We leave you in changeless peace, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
