I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 31, 1993:

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time it is our privilege to ask if there may be any further queries to which we may speak.

Carla: I have two questions. Firstly, I would like to know your opinion on the possible effects that working as much as I expect I may have to this year for the church will have on my state of mind as a channel. Will being busier in the world mean that I need to do something different than I do usually in order to channel well? Will being busier affect that? Can you speak to that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We can speak in general terms to suggest that as you are expending the energies of your mind, body, and spirit complex in the increased energy required by experiencing the daily round of activities you will feel a certain need to feed yet another hunger, and that hunger is the desire that each seeker has to dwell with the One and to rest therein that you may be nourished and supported in your life pattern. We would recommend that you keep your inner ear open that you may hear when the feeling for this nurturing is present and feed that hunger as it is asking to be fed. We can recommend only that you listen and feel as carefully as you work in the world of activity.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Yes, but I’d like to thank you for that answer because I think that’s really straightforward and I am very much the kind of person that does do my work by thinking and feeling rather than thinking and knowing, so I appreciate that answer very much and I will …

Well, actually I have three questions because I just thought of another one, but along this same line, this week I have been more aware than usual of the people that depend on me to be a home to them. They’re people that live all over the place and they have in common mostly that they are not particularly comfortable in the world and there is something about my nature that says to them, “This is a safe place,” and I seem to function as a moving, living, walking-around home, in my being, in my having a big heart and I wonder—I can’t be the only one and it can’t just be women that do this. I know that some women and some men function as this kind of home.

Now, I was trying to think of a context for it and I couldn’t, really. I know that it’s like being a mother or a father, being a home. It’s hard for me to know precisely what it is, but I do know if one of the people that needs me is thinking about something that’s troubling them, whether it’s S or whether it’s N or whether it’s D or whoever. Maybe this is a question for another time but as I get busier, still, when something like this, something like N’s pain hits me this morning I have to respond. So, I know that it works, regardless. That I guess that I have been concerned that getting busier I wouldn’t be as good a home. Could you speak to that at all?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. To some degree, we may speak, though we do not wish to influence your choices by speaking inappropriately. It is true that you have the quality of acceptance and freely given love that provides others with a safe haven, and we are aware that there are many upon your plane who serve in this capacity. As you have surmised there are those of both of your biological sexes that offer themselves in this service as a result of their seeking …

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. It is more nearly the case that those of the female gender serve more frequently in this capacity for it is, in your culture, the female who provides the first and the most encompassing nurturing for the infant child. Thus, as you enter your round of activities you will find that the connections that you have formed with those who are within your care will be more apparent to you in those times where you are quiet in mind and body, those times of the beginning and the ending of your days. Thus, you will find that there is a kind of communications center that will be functioning at these moments and the calls that are made will be felt more frequently and more intensely then.

Carla said that: “I have been more aware than usual of the people that depend on me to be a home to them, and I know that it’s like being a mother or a father, being a home, and I guess that I have been concerned that getting busier I wouldn’t be as good a home. Could you speak to that at all? Q’uo began by saying that Carla did have the qualities of acceptance and freely given love that provided many with a safe place to be. Then Q’uo said that in most cultures the female provides the nurturing qualities as they raise children that were also qualities Carla could use in the quiet portions of her day, in the mornings and evenings, to make connections with those who needed her feeling of being a home for them. In 12.31, Ra described how Carla was a good example of freely given love:

This instrument also experiences some distortion of the green-ray energy center which you may call the heart center. It is overly open due to an intensive desire-distortion on the part of this mind/body/spirit complex towards service to others, or as you may call it, universal love. This entity, therefore, spends itself without regard to its reserves of mind/body/spirit complex distortion in regard to what you call strength or energy.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Yes, Q’uo. It’s been a concern of mine for some time that the one known as Jim and I are not making the absolute best use of these contacts that we have with you, and that it would be even better to channel as equals, going back and forth the way Barbara and I do and I wondered … well, let me just say this, too. Also, the one known as Jim is channeling right now, this is … so it’s not very easy to channel, I’m aware, but when the one known as Jim is being Jim the person, he has a human opinion that I channel better, and that is due to the fact that, culturally speaking, I have more use of more words and am more productive. I use more words to say things whereas I am aware, because I am not the one known as Jim, of the value of his seemingly brief and economical sentences.

It is my feeling that the very best use of the channel that we have would be going back and forth and using both of our energies to the fullest rather than mine, largely. Without your having to take sides, I wonder what you could say that would illuminate us both on this subject.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister, and we shall attempt to speak through this instrument in some degree, though there is some resistance. This instrument has certain qualities that could be useful in the channeling process as they are being utilized at this time. The one known as Carla has the ability to receive information of a finer and more precisely tuned nature that is expansive and quite intricate in its detail. The one known as Jim finds it more easy to channel both the life energies and the contact energies in forms which are more concrete and usable, as you may say. Thus, each instrument has abilities which are pronounced, and which give each certain—we search for the correct terminology—talents and abilities are best utilized here.

Thus, though it would be possible to utilize each instrument in an exchange of contacts as you have experienced with the one known as Barbara, it would affect the nature of our contact by giving it two flavors, shall we say. This is, of course, at your discretion and we seek always to serve as we are asked.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Carla: Can you give a value—relative value—to the channeling as we have it now and the channeling that we would have if we traded it back and forth?

I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my sister. Again, we shall attempt to speak upon this topic without going past that point of encouraging a decision in one direction or the other.

Carla: I understand.

I am Q’uo. It would be as though one message were spoken in different languages or dialects, shall we say. Again, the choice is yours.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Questioner: Not at this time. Thank you. Thank you very much and then thank the one known as Jim for trying, really.

I am Q’uo, and we again thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

[Pause]

I am Q’uo, and we would take this opportunity to thank each present for again allowing us to join your circle of working. We are most inspired by your efforts and your dedication to continue upon this journey even though the journey seems difficult and confusing a great deal of your time.

Carla: Can I ask one more question that I thought of late?

I am Q’uo, and we welcome your query, my sister.

Carla: Bless you, Q’uo. It occurred to me just when I was letting what you said sink in, how would you rate the work that Barbara and I have done together because certainly we are coming at subjects from different points of view, certainly, yet I have felt very, very good about doing it together.

I am Q’uo and we are aware of your query, my sister. We are pleased with the efforts you have made with the one known as Barbara and, indeed, are quite pleased with all efforts which you have made, for they have been made with a whole heart. We do not seek to rate any effort above another.

Is there any final query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you very much.

I am Q’uo, and again we thank each for inviting us this day to join you. At this time we shall take our leave of this group and this instrument, leaving each as always in the love and in the ineffable light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I continued to use the sprinkler on all of the flower gardens in the yard because we are not only in a dry spell, but the temperatures will be around 100 degrees for the next few days, starting with today in the 90s. In between setting the sprinkler I worked on my Camelot Journal entries and vacuumed the first floor of the house.

This afternoon I made an errand run with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some bird seed and cat food for Benny. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. When I got home I got my garden cart, chain saw, hedge clippers, some twine, and scissors and went across the street to my neighbor’s house and cut down a small Dogwood tree that was dead. I tied the pieces up in a bundle and then pulled down a huge vine that was covering a Holly tree, cut it up with my hedge clippers, and stuffed it into two garbage cans.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

June 14

The Happy Tune Of Silence

I am of the principle of the full consciousness of love, and I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ.

The busy hubbub of the crowded city is enfolded in silence. And in that silence is enfolded transformative power.

Now, within the meditation, that silence is greeted. And as the spirit listens, it becomes aware of the infinite color and variety of the flashing face of Spirit.

Now is the time, in silence and in meditation, to embrace that seemingly angry hubbub of city, and all that it implies of civilization’s distresses and discomforts.

Now is the time to realize a sense of the power of the silence so that, as you walk from meditation into daylight, your steps may not falter because of what you see or hear or sense. For you are the vehicle of eternity, and it is your choice to live in power or in oppression. Find the silence and raise high its endless, happy tune.

We leave you in 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.
