I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from September 18, 1994:
(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 might be any further queries to which we may speak. Is there a query at this time?
Carla: I’d like to make a quick one. I abruptly lost the contact and when it came back it just said to go to you. I wonder what happened, or is that beyond the…
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We felt that we had utilized your instrument to the fullest extent, given your physical weariness, and had spoken the greater portion of our message which was, as usual, of some length. Thus, we felt it was well to make our usual break in the working by transferring our contact to this instrument so that your instrument might rest and those other selves in the circle listening might have the opportunity to query with specificity any point not understood or ask concerning any other area. Thus, it was convenient all around, shall we say, for the transfer to take place at this time.
Is there another query, my sister?
Carla: No, that’s very well, I just do not usually have such an abrupt leaving. Thank you very much.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query?
Questioner: When dealing with others who express their anger for me, or directed to me, other than prayer for that person, is there any—the question has to do with other people’s anger and other people’s sorrow, that seem so overwhelming to them, that to share what I understand hurts, rather than helps, and, other than prayer, is there anything that can be done with those people, for those people?
Also, I’d like to ask about the idea of beings being of the Earth, and how to best utilize that, how to get to a growth, a growing through. Is that enough?
I am Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my sister, and shall endeavor to speak to this topic. The process of growth is one in which all entities participate. Whether one experiences the anger of another or of the self, the experience is of anger and the spontaneous response instead of, shall we say, the studied response is most helpful to all concerned as this process continues, for the spontaneous response is that which is nearest to matching the ability of an entity to give or receive the love in a particular moment.
Whether there is difficulty or ease in this process will depend upon the entity’s previous experience at learning to give and receive the love of the moment and of the heart. Thus, as you mirror each other’s emotions you mirror that which is within yourself as well, for not only are you all seekers of the same truth, you are seekers who experience much the same catalyst of pain and of sorrow in making the great journey which you call seeking the truth.
Thus, to do that which is within your heart is that which is most helpful at the moment, and who can say what that will be before the moment comes. Trust always that inner feeling, that heartfelt movement, that moves through you as you experience the catalyst of your incarnation. Share these emotions with those about you who have shared their experiences with you. Thus, you are seekers of a like mind who seek together and have, as a group, far more opportunity of progressing than would each of you individually.
Questioner’s question was: “How I can deal with other people’s anger and other people’s sorrow, that seem so overwhelming to them, that to share what I understand hurts, rather than helps, and, other than prayer, is there anything that can be done with those people, for those people?” Q’uo began by saying that everyone can grow through feeling anger, but the best way to express it for the greatest growth is spontaneously as this reflects the ability to give or receive love. Q’uo continued by saying that the experiencing of anger is a product of the mirroring effect in which each person is experiencing each other’s emotions of pain and sorrow as part of their spiritual path. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that each person should trust their heart in sharing their feelings because they are all sharing the catalyst as seekers with each other, and they could progress as a group more effectively than as individuals. On December 8, 1985, Latwii shared the value of seeking together:
I am Latwii, and we find that it has been well said, my sister, that those who of like mind together seek shall far more surely find. That which one misses is more likely to be noticed by the other and vice versa. Thus, the old saying that two heads are better than one is surely true in any such endeavor, and we heartily encourage the joining of companions upon such a journey.
Is there are further query, my sister?
Questioner: No, thank you, Q’uo. Thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query?
P: I have a question. I want to ask if you could explain about the process of setting boundaries, how to do it in our [inaudible], different relationships, friendship involved, etc.
I am Q’uo, and we believe that we grasp your query, my sister. If we are incorrect, please requery.
We do not necessarily feel that there is the practice of boundary setting that is what we could recommend, shall we say. For we are aware that there is a portion of your mental health profession that feels that boundaries are of necessity for each individual, and in some cases there may be the situation where the boundary is…
[Side one of tape ends.]
(Jim channeling)
I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We shall continue.
It is well to remember that all is, indeed, one being with many perspectives in experience. Thus, if an individual feels that there is the need for a boundary, or a definition in a relationship which does not presently exist, then it is the honor and duty of that individual to speak with clarity to those with which it is in relationship and to speak those thoughts that are heart-felt concerning the definition and nature of this relationship.
This is the great work of this illusion in which you move at this time: to come into relationships with those about you, to communicate concerning the shared experience, and to be willing to work again and again with all of the catalyst that appears with the inevitable misunderstandings and miscommunications that are the grist, shall we say, for the mill of your life experience.
Thus, it is the decision of the seeker, indeed of each seeker at all times, to find those balances of relationship that are most meaningful and to work in a clear and compassionate sense in order to share with others in relationship this perspective that will hopefully enhance the overall experience of relationship.
P asked Q’uo how to go about setting boundaries in different relationships. Q’uo began by saying that, in general they would not recommend setting boundaries because ultimately all people are one being, but if P felt that boundaries were necessary for her that she should speak this need from her heart to those for whom she felt a need for boundaries. Q’uo continued by saying that it is the great work of the third density to communicate, share relationships, and process the catalyst of misunderstandings in order to find the balances in relationships that enhance their experience. On June 30, 1990, Q’uo spoke of both the value of boundaries and the breaking of boundaries:
Experiences are designed to test the limits of the entity that seeks truth, as each entity does indeed seek truth with each fiber of its being, thought of the mind, and action of the body. Experience moves the boundaries of perception and knowledge and faith beyond what are normal, shall we say, for the entity. That which is normal is that which is stably experienced and has been gained by previous experience, which in its turn broke previous boundaries. The breaking of boundaries, the breaking of rigid perception, has the function of increasing boundaries, perception, and possibility. Thus, it is imperative that each entity who seeks the one Creator experience this breaking in order that that which is new, stronger, deeper, larger, richer, and more varied may be contained in a vessel which is now larger, richer, deeper, and more varied in its capacity, as each of you are vessels which are hollowed out by the experience which is the means by which you seek the One. Thus are you strengthened; thus do you go on in your journey.
Is there a further query, my sister?
P: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
Carla: I don’t precisely get angry, but there are times when—I mean I do get angry—but what I’m talking about, what I’m asking about is—it’s a time when I click over into a program having to do with my father, and to some extent, my mother, having to do with having to defend myself and explain myself, and nothing ever quite being acceptable. No one in my life now does this to me, but sometimes, if I feel as if it’s happening to me, I’ll go right into that old program, and it’s not real; it’s not responding to the situation that’s actually. . . now. I don’t know how to break into that programming. Is that a question unto itself?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. Again, we would suggest more of the working with the spontaneous eruption of emotions than would we suggest the breaking into this programming, as you have called it, in order to stop its movement. Though many programs, responses, emotions, and inclinations are difficult, painful, and confusing, it is well to allow oneself to be in the midst of these emotions for their duration in order to experience the fullness of their effect, for all experience has the potential to change or to transform the being which experiences.
It can become confusing if an entity looks at its behavior as that which always needs correcting. It is far more helpful to look at the behavior as that which shall be experienced at the moment of its inception, allowed to run its course, then looked upon and analyzed at a later time with the objective eye that may be able to glean from the experience that which is available for the learning.
Is there a further query, my sister?
Carla: Yes, let me work with it just a little bit. There’s a part of me, when that happens, that there’s a witness to it—just watches it. Is there some skill involved in leaning more into the witness, while allowing the program to run? Is this witnessing a helpful part of the self, at that time?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The faculty of the witness is a portion of the process of experience which is later to mature, shall we say, for each entity is the witness of all previous selves and behaviors and can look with an objective eye more at this time than at the time of the experiences occurring.
Thus, as you are able to become a witness to your current experience, you are able to observe it more for the movement of energy and the patterns created, than be moved by it and become unaware of the direction of movement. It is helpful to be able to see these energies in motion, yet it is not that which one strives to achieve. It is that which one becomes, as a natural part of the process of learning to accept one’s destiny, shall we say, or to work with one’s catalyst in a clear and open-hearted fashion.
Thus, we again recommend the allowing of the experience to unfold as it will, including the experience of the witness.
Is there a further query, my sister?
Carla: No, Q’uo. Thank you very much. I’m [inaudible].
I am Q’uo, and again, we thank you, my sister. Is there another query, at this time?
Questioner: I have a query. I’ve heard that I’m too analytical, and how does that fit in with the emotions? I had another question that I can’t think of, but maybe it will come back. But the analyzing, the intellectual, perhaps, interpretation of—attempt to process and understand the emotion is what I think is meant by “too analytical,” and how does that balance out?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The intellectual ability to review or to analyze previous experience is that faculty which is much like the surgeon’s scalpel, in that it seeks those portions of experience that are valuable and need to be preserved and removes from them those portions of the experience which are of little or no value, so that there is, from each experience, a certain harvest that allows one to improve, shall we say, the balance of mind, body, and spirit. This balance is that which each works towards and makes an attempt to equal or live up to, shall we say, the personal ideals or standards of excellence—that which one believes in.
The analytical ability allows one to compare the experience of the day with the ideals of the life. Thus, it is best to utilize the analytical mind at a time that is set aside for such, rather than attempting to apply the intellect at each moment of experience, when one is in the midst of it, shall we say. Thus, the analytical ability balances the emotional experience by gleaning from it that which is helpful for the overall balance of the being.
Is there another query, my sister?
Questioner: No, thank you.
I am Q’uo, and again we thank you, my sister. Is there a final query at this time?
R: Thank you for answering my unspoken query, Q’uo.
I am Q’uo, and we are grateful, my brother, to be able to serve in any way that we can.
At this time we shall again thank this group for inviting our presence. We are most filled with joy at each opportunity to blend our vibrations with your own. We assure each that we walk with you on this journey and that no entity walks alone, for each has those friends, teachers, and guides that walk with it as do those brothers and sisters within your own illusion walk with each in spirit.
We are known to you as those of Q’uo and we shall take our leave of this group at this time, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
This morning I set the sprinkler on each of the two flower mounds in the front yard, the Ruins Mound and the Moss Garden, and then the Astilbe Garden and Hosta Garden in the back yard. This morning a New Circle Mechanical technician came by and discovered that I need a new dishwasher because my old one had worn out and was leaking in a way that would be more expensive to fix than to replace.
This afternoon I went over to Lowe’s and purchased a new dishwasher. On my way home I stopped in at Feeder’s Supply and bought some cat food for Benny. Then I stopped in at Paul’s Fruit Market and bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some Kleenexes and some treats for Benny and Bosco. When I got home I used the watering wand to water the flower gardens along the parking area in the front yard and the watering bucket to water the Sun Patiens behind the garage.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
July 15
Hollowed Out By Circumstances
I am of the principle of living Love, and I greet you in the full consciousness of that Love.
It may seem to you that you are hollowed out by circumstances, circumstances that squeeze the life from heart and soul so that all that remains is a hollow reed.
Indeed, many times the work of the Spirit contains this facet or phase, for there are times when, in order to progress in service, one must hollow out the channel of the self, removing stumbling blocks to one’s capacity for joy and life.
When the student finds the mark and imprint of Love through trust and faith within these situations, then does the Spirit enter more and more to make, of unhappiness, perfect peace.
We leave you in that peace, now and always. 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.
