I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 31, 1993:
Group question: The question this afternoon has to do with how the average spiritual seeker who works for a living from nine to five and who has other responsibilities and who feels quite rushed and pressed for time, how this person can find time and space for spiritual seeking and for making contact with that sense of unity and self that can sustain the rest of the week, or how the seeker finds the spiritual self in the week or in the meditation.
(Carla channeling)
I am with this instrument. I am Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. It is a privilege and a blessing to speak with this group of beloved entities at this time/space. We are most grateful for the opportunity to share our thoughts with you and appreciate greatly this company and the chance to blend our essence with your own. As always, we ask for the privilege of being heard as brothers and sisters, not as those with any final authority. We always encourage each to discriminate carefully and take in only those thoughts and perceptions which feel to you to be your personal truths.
We come to this question with a wry smile upon our faces for we frankly envy you the confusion and struggle which form the background for your query. We are able to expend a nearly infinite amount of time and space with things which in your density would be considered ecclesiastical or philosophical but certainly metaphysical. There is not the necessity for busying ourselves with the gathering of assets which occupies so much of your peoples’ time and energy. And to the degree that we do not go, as this instrument would say, out into the world we lack the context from which we might put into vibrant action those truths of the heart which sustain the spiritual life of us each and all. It is in your density, in your thick atmosphere of confusion which your illusion so richly furnishes which has the great privilege and the great teaching situation of forcing souls into direct confrontation with time and space and the appropriating of those things that is time and space either to show forth that which is in the heart or not to show forth that which is in the heart.
This may be hard to appreciate, and we grasp that. However, from our biased point of view we look at the crowded time schedules of your peoples, and we see the opportunity for great witnessing in that. We witness at all times and in all places, one might say is so, yet we have no choice, actually, for in our density our thoughts and experiences are very much, not precisely had in common but held in common, each witnessing to each with every moment. To your peoples is given the blindness, deafness, and dumbness of the, what you would call, flesh. You cannot hear others’ thoughts, nor can you perceive the place within each other which you have in common which is the heart of common worship, shall we call it.
Without being able to say precisely why, your peoples have gathered together to express spiritual feelings since the beginning of your density as an instinct. Like all instincts, it is true. You do have every reason to gather at a time and place to express love, compassion, worship, or whatever words you personally would choose to show forth your love of the mystery that is Deity and to anchor the outworking of this Love within your environment.
Now, just such an occasion of common worship, shall we call it, is taking place and giving to us the opportunity to share thoughts. Let us express some of why this is efficacious or perceived by us to be so. It is within the context of your brothers and sisters that each seeker has his personal pilgrimage. No entity within third density is truly alone or isolated, spiritually speaking. This is foreign to your basic nature. The context for life as we understand it is social. When the purpose for gathering is the desire to express love and the desire to serve that occasion becomes a very big party in ways you cannot see. Many discarnate entities which this instrument would call angels flock to the planned site of this common gathering of spirit. This then strengthens and clarifies the energies which are coming to that occasion and enables those who do attend to feel differently. It is as though the simple room becomes the holy place, the empty church suddenly filled with invisible energy.
The first way, then, that entities who are too busy with things of the world, as this instrument would put it, the first way they can reclaim time and space for worship of the one infinite Creator and filling of the heart is by gathering. One alone who meditates and seeks is tremendously powerful. Two together are far more than their addition and three or more become the universe. It is difficult simply to express how the gathering of a precious few charges the occasion with such power. However, we assure you that as you sit and listen to these words you are in a vast and powerful company, witnessed each by many whose only hope is to strengthen the light and clarify the life within the combined energies of the group.
This entity is channeling at this time not in one of your usual religious places but in a small abode, a home, and yet this humble venue might as well be a cathedral, for it hosts a mighty company and indeed those who wish to experience common worship need not necessarily go to a place that has already been created or join where they may not feel welcome, for any small group can dedicate the treasure of time and position and begin to have such gatherings. The small gatherings do indeed gather and express an infinity of that which marks the uplifting or spiritual, that is, each feels the blessing of presence and intention and as these energies interweave there is spun a beautiful tower which stretches to your heavens which lifts all spirits within the charmed circle, and as this energy is lifted to the infinite One the reflection of this energy rains down not just upon each present but upon all of the planetary energy into which each is grounded. So that the gathering together is not just for those present but indeed brings as witnesses all of those upon your planet who seek the one infinite Creator and lift their eyes to search for the light.
The group question for this session was: “How does the spiritual seeker find time and space for spiritual seeking and for making contact with that sense of unity and self that can sustain the rest of the week, or how the seeker finds the spiritual self in the week or in the meditation?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that in our illusion we have the great opportunity to make the choice of that which is in our hearts or to not to make that choice. Then Q’uo said that each of us has a place within our hearts of worship, and we also have the instinct to gather together “to express love, compassion, worship, or whatever words you personally would choose to show forth your love of the mystery that is Deity and to anchor the outworking of this Love within your environment.” Q’uo continued by saying that such gatherings attract angelic presences which serve to intensify this seeking of the mystery of Deity and Love so that the place of gathering becomes a holy place. Q’uo went on to say that as more people gather in this holy place to seek this mystery each one increases the power of this seeking until all the spirits in this place are lifted to the Creator, and the reflection of this energy is then rained down upon all within the circle and all of those upon the planet who seek the one infinite Creator. On October 9, 1988, Q’uo describd the value of seeking the Creator:
“That which is beautiful,” it says within your holy works, “that which is good, that which excellent, that which is of virtue, love, enjoy, do.” These are words of simplistic advice. Yet we say to you that your thoughts are those things which populate your consciousness, and in fact move your destiny. Attempt, therefore, to seek the Creator, to feel the oneness of love and light and to carry that flame within you which has been lit into each and every relationship and situation you may possibly achieve in this way. You are of maximum service to the self as a creature or child of the Creator, to the other self as the Creator, and finally turning at last from the illusion, the choice having been made, to the Creator Itself, to the great mystery which draws us all ever forward in love and light.
There are other ways in which that powerful treasure of time may be better spent but none is quite as powerful as the decision to set aside the time and the place to say, “First, I will be here. First, I will provide for my heart to touch its true home, to breath the air of things holy and innocent of the dirt of living.”
Let us for the rest consider how time is used because a common meeting to worship is so powerful many times entities who so gather perhaps once within your week might feel that this one occasion will put into the energies of the spirit, mind, and body enough to furnish good memories all the week. However, this is not normally the case. Normally, the morning does not automatically call the seeker to rivet its attention upon the Creator. Normally, the morning light calls the seeker to more mundane and daily considerations. What to be done? What to wear to do that which is to be done? Where to go in those clothes to do that which is to be done? How then to insert into this, shall we say, this running program of activities a time for stillness wherein that connection is remade with things holy and untouched by relativity and process?
There is the capability within each of you so to order the mind that a bell, shall we say, rings within every so often that says it is time to seek and know the infinite One. To make this occur within your mind there is the necessity for discipline. We suggest looking at the states of mind which you visit throughout the day, not an unusual day but the most normal and hectic of days and practice this looking at the self, listening to the self and ascertaining, gently but accurately, the most used states of mind. Find within this moving context of inner thought a comfortable place to insert the centering identification of self which is the marker for a location in time and space which is transformative, and when you have identified for yourself your subjective most favored state for inserting this centering then practice this repetitively.
The instructions are of necessity vague but we may be quite strict about this direction, that is, practice assiduously for this is the second way to move in mind into that identification of self in the context of seeking the one infinite Creator in all ways, in all things, which is the key to living the busy, hectic and seemingly confusing life of one who is active within third density and yet who has become able to remain within a spiritual context regardless of the physical location or the number of items which might be of necessity upon the mind of a daily and worldly nature.
There is much more that we can say upon this subject but for this working we feel this is enough material. We would circle about and close with that with which we opened, that is, our opinion that yours is a wonderful position to be in. It simply does not feel that way to you for you cannot see that which we can nor will you be able to discern the true nature of your condition. You simply must go on trust and faith and hope and that inspires all of us. We see you as love’s witnesses within an illusion so thick that you do not feel each other’s thoughts. This is something that we can only vaguely remember. For you to honor and love the infinite, original Logos and to so order your lives as to attempt to show forth your love and the Creator’s love of you in all that you do is greatly inspirational to us for we know you are going on faith. You cannot see the beauty of your hopes, dreams and desires. You cannot know how successful you are.
It is our opinion that you in third density making the great choices between giving and receiving, between loving and risking, and being loved and not risking, we find your courage heartening and your hopes and desires and intentions beautiful and as each choice is made and that which blooms within unfolds yet one more petal we can only give thanks and rejoice. Please know that we are always with you, very willing to serve as one who meditates or as this instrument would say, prays with you, not in words but simply by our presence.
We thank you for your presence for together with you as we have focused upon this query, we have been able to praise the one infinite Creator with a beauty and a joy that we could not have approached by ourselves. The blessing of humankind is humankind. The blessing of love is love and you are truer than you know or can ever know within your experience to the Love which loved you first.
Now Q’uo suggested how we might use the time of our days to reinforce the power of the meeting with others in the holy places, and they went on to suggest that we take note of the most spiritually helpful conditions or states of mind that occur for us during the day, and seek then to use them periodically such as seeing an inspiring book on the shelf or a picture of a loved one that brings us joy and the feeling of love. Then Q’uo repeated their opening thoughts that we live in a difficult illusion where we must have faith and will that we can learn how to choose to open our hearts in Love of the original Logos and to share that Love and the Creator’s Love in all that we do. On April 2, 2000, Q’uo spoke of how we may learn to open our hearts in love:
And, yet we find that if we can move into that awareness that sees all entities and souls and all behavior as distortions of Love, no matter how we feel about the actions involved we can continue to open our hearts and allow the Love of the infinite Creator to flow through us and out into loving that distorted entity that is attempting to act negatively towards us. No matter how opaque the negative action may seem from the human standpoint, the rising to a level where all are seen as souls places the mind in a position which gives it the capacity to grasp that all is truly one, that all is truly well, and that all will truly be well.
We would conclude this session through the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo, and leave this instrument in love and in light.
This morning I continued the watering of my flower gardens since we are in the midst of a dry spell. First, I set the sprinkler on the Wuthering Heights Mound and then came back in to work on my Camelot Journal entries. After half an hour I went back outside and set the sprinkler on the Ruins Mound, and while I was outside I took the garbage cans that had been emptied of tree limbs back to the garage. There were enough spilled leaves that I used my backpack blower to blow them and other leaves from the surrounding area into a pile and put them in one of the empty garbage cans. That took long enough for me to set the sprinkler on the wooden framework above the fishpond to let it run for 45 minutes.
This afternoon I made an errand run to Cleaning Concepts to pick up a box of vacuum cleaner bags. I also set the sprinkler running in four locations in the back yard: the Moss Garden, the Astilbe Garden, the cross area, and the Sun Mandala. Then I used the watering wand to water the flowers along the parking area in front of the house and the mound between the fishpond and the garage.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 13
Increasing Your Joy
Greetings in the love of Christ. We are of the consciousness of that Love, the Spirit of Christ in the vibration which comforts this child.
It is a characteristic of a life lived in faith that the quality of experience clarifies and improves when the faithful remind themselves continuously of the happy fidelity which has been chosen. Your Creator does not worship Itself. It turns in Its expression to a love of you.
You, then, may turn from the love of self also to express exultation in the excellence of love, of the love of the Creator and of the principles of love that you have been given for Teacher, Comforter and Friend. In sharing joy, so you increase that joy. In opening to give praise, so you shall receive clarity and peace.
That peace I leave with you, now and always.
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.
