I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from July 6, 1995:
(Carla channeling)
I am Q’uo, and I greet you in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. May we thank and bless each of you for inviting us to share in your combined life streams at this time. To be so invited to share our thoughts is a very great privilege, for it is by attempting to be of service to you that we gain in polarity and advance along our own path. We ask that you remember as always when hearing any opinion whatever that the truth is already seated in your own spirit, and if you do not recognize it in our words, it is well for you to release it from your consciousness, for we would not be a stumbling block before you to retard you in your spiritual growth. Indeed, that is far from our purpose.
We find the consciousness of those present this evening to be much aware of the day you celebrate in what you call your nation as the birth date of your nation’s independence and each his own personal freedom. We find the phrase, “All men are created equal,” to be written large upon your hearts and your pride at this time. Thus, we would speak to you about how love, and wisdom, to a lesser extent, function through illusion to facilitate and offer tools for the facilitation of individual spiritual growth.
Each knows that the phrase, “All men are created equal”—men, of course, meaning humankind, men and women alike—to be not only an ideal but truth, for all have the same birthright, own the same Godhead in potentiation and possess all that there is within themselves. We would in no way argue with this truism, and, indeed, wish to underscore its accuracy in the sense that each of you is the Creator. And thus do you each function as each other’s catalyst, for each of you is a mirror in likeness, not similar, but same, so that your other selves may gaze within your glass and see what they need to see about themselves. Indeed, it is often among your peoples that you see things in other people, not realizing that you are seeing the reflection of yourself.
However, this evening we would stress that in the illusion, which is your so-called third-density reality, all men are manifestly created unequal. In the illusion of personality, each entity is unique. This illusion is a deep illusion which will continue to hold sway through several densities of existence and many millions of your years and far, far into your spiritual development and your journey back to the one original Thought. It is an important illusion. Why, indeed, does it seem so clear that in this illusion of personality, each is unique and obviously different and therefore unequal to and from each other?
Let us consider one individual spirit. There are two basic influences which shall govern what occurs within the life experience of this individual, the first, shall we say, the “law of finished beginnings.” This is not a law, but an influence. We use the term “law” advisedly and ask that you understand it as a pervasive influence rather than an unshakable law. Your vocabulary does not have such a nice word, so we must use the closest in meaning. This pervasive influence is that which indicates that that which has been previously unfinished in an entity’s experience in other lifetimes shall be once again brought before the attention of the entity in order that the entity may work, consider, meditate, and do whatever seems to be advisable with these pervasive influences which are familiar.
Many difficult relationships are the results of previous unfinished beginnings, and the difficulty of the relationship is much like the difficulty of a person that receives that which seems to be fresh from the grocery but which when taken home, though sweet and fresh to every physical sense, yet seems still somehow aging and putrefying. There is something ancient, something one cannot put one’s finger upon, something which smacks sometimes of déja vu. This is that with which you deal as lovingly, compassionately, and may we say, dispassionately with in this life experience in order to finish that which has been begun, that all may be balanced with that particular relationship, or in regard to that particular point, that the entity has been attempting to learn and has yet not completely gotten, shall we say, under the belt.
As each is familiar with the so-called karmic influence, we need not dwell upon this influence, but would note only that it is well to take such influences seriously in that each entity give such challenges careful and persistent consideration, but also that the entity employ the light touch, the laughter, the seeking of joy, the discovery of love within each difficulty and each challenge.
Q’uo began this session by saying: “We would speak to you about how love, and wisdom to a lesser extent, function through illusion and offer tools for the facilitation of individual spiritual growth.” Q’uo began by saying that the holiday of July 4 was the day when the phrase, “All men are created equal” was true in that all people are the Creator, and they provide catalyst for each other through the mirroring effect of seeing themselves in their other selves. They went on to say that in this third- density illusion all entities are not the same because each is unique, and this illusion will continue through many densities and millions of years as all return into unity with the one original Thought. They said that each person is unique in the law of “finished beginnings” that were begun many lifetimes ago and remain unfinished so that they may be begun again in this lifetime and considered in meditation and work in consciousness. Q’uo used the example of difficult relationships in the present life that have carried over from previous lifetimes as unfinished beginnings that should be seen lovingly as opportunities for learning and growth in this lifetime. Then Q’uo said that it was important to consider that karma is involved in these lessons and take them seriously, but it was also important to use the light touch of laughter, the seeking of joy, and the discovery of love within each challenging relationship. On December 29, 1995, Q’uo described the value of the discovery of love in difficult situations:
To love and to find love is an easy thing when there is no barrier to perceiving love. Within your illusion, there is a great deal of darkness, shall we say, spiritually speaking. So that it carries far more weight in the mind/body/spirit totality that you call the spirit or soul to find love and light in an incarnation in which there is great difficulty, great darkness, great challenge. Each entity which incarnates within this illusion enters into the undertaking of this challenge and will gain in the spiritual awareness and power, shall we say, by being able to accomplish the discovery of love where it is most difficult to find.
And the other influence, although equally pervasive, is not an influence that is much noticed. However, it is equally important to your development and to your understanding of the process of development. You understand already that that which you seek will come to you. This follows the basic law of finishing the beginning. However, there is a balancing influence and that is the influence of finding that which has least been sought. Each of you will repeatedly during your incarnation have a new experience, an experience to which you come as a virgin comes to her first love. You will have no previous experience to guide you within the incarnation or within your memory, for what is occurring is a balancing process. If you have sought and sought and sought again that which is good and perfect, it is a just balance, and one with which the Creator is generous, that that which is painful shall occur to you, not because you deserve it, but because the way to transformation is the way of balancing. And for every familiar line of thought which you work upon in order to progress spiritually, there will be a brand new circumstance which has been not called for which shall occur to you also and for which you have no previously molded personal tools. This offers you the chance of assimilating new catalyst without incurring what you would call karmic responsibility or debt.
If there are very difficult lessons in your life and one thing after another has been a half-remembered nightmare through which you wearily but determinedly move in order to stop forever the wheel, as you would say, of karma, or as we would put it, to finish that which has been begun, then it is that something utterly, unexpectedly marvelous and wonderful shall occur. Not because you deserve it, but because a balance needs to be brought. And so the Creator has gifts for you to aid in transformation, to surprise you and to offer you the opportunity to teach yourself that which you have begun to learn but have not yet finished and that incalculable something which the balancing law offers as a teaching but which has been rarely spoken of and even less rarely grasped, and that is that there is such a thing as grace. There is that which rains when there is drought, and which shines to brighten an interior dim landscape. There is an inborn keel which shall manifest itself within your life experience—not when you expect it, but always as a gift. And whether these occurrences are happy or unhappy, you may find within yourself the blessing of lessons which are more simply learned because you have been learning their opposite.
When you do not recognize in a situation or relationship any half memory of any past association, when you have no personal feeling of attachment to a challenge, then it is perhaps well to consider whether or not this may or could be a gift from the Creator, that which you already have the tools to understand, if we may use a term that is incorrect in your density. Each of you has this balancing influence on hand at this time and we encourage each of you to look to such lessons with gratitude for grace which offers the easy lessons once in a while and with determination, for even though these lessons are easy, because they come as gifts, it is easy to waste them.
Therefore, be meticulous in acknowledging each gift, in seeing the balance which is internal to your own development and no one else’s. Thus, shall you use the illusion which makes you seem unequal, one to another. We encourage you to rejoice in this seeming inequality, for the Creator so rejoices. You are the glory which the Creator could only realize by reflection, you are the manifest of that which is and always shall be unmanifest. And while you are manifest, you are not only Creator and co-Creator, but also creation, and the Creator finds you lovely.
We ask you, my friends, to allow all those concepts which you may be learning to become seated in your consciousness by the process and discipline of regular meditation. We encourage the daily meditation, for seeking within without words is analogous to returning once again to the truth that all men are created equal, for you move into that portion of your being which is co-equal not only with your brothers and sisters, but with the Creator. And it is in this portion of your being that learning shall be seated, or it shall be lost. That which skips along the top of the water does not influence the deep. Let that which you are learning sink, as the stone shall do when it ceases its headlong flight along the top of the waves.
Then Q’uo said that what we seek will come to us and will follow the law of finishing the beginning, but it will be a new experience for which we have no way of dealing with because it is part of a balancing process in which we have sought that which is good and perfect, and it must be balanced with that which is painful. Q’uo continued by saying that transformation is the way of balancing while giving us the opportunity of processing new catalyst without assuming karmic debt. They went on to say that if we have difficult unfinished lessons to learn in our life that repeat in order for us to stop the wheel of karma, the Creator has a gift for us to help us teach ourselves that which we have begun to learn but have not yet finished, and that is the balancing law which offers us a teaching which is the gift of grace. They said that whether these lessons are happy or sad they are more simply learned because we have been learning their opposite. Q’uo went on to say that if we encounter experiences with no memory of their being a part of our past that this could be a gift from the Creator that we have the tools to understand, and we should be grateful for the grace of having easy lessons once in a while. Then Q’uo said that we should always be grateful for these gifts that are unique to us, and we should rejoice in this uniqueness as does the Creator, for we are the Creator and the creation, and the Creator finds us lovely. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we should use daily meditation to allow these concepts, of our being equal to all our brothers and sisters and to the Creator, to be seated into the depths of our being, or they shall be lost. On September 23, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the Creator’s gift of grace:
Thus, we do not see the query as one which needs to make a choice between being and doing, but that which seeks an attitude of being filled with the presence of the one Creator, so that the moment is sufficient unto itself, and that as you exist in that moment that is ever-present, that which is appropriate for you to be or do will present itself to you without question. This attitude is that gift of grace which all seekers seek and revere, yet achieve not so much by ritual, by action, by prayer, or by any activity. It is rather that which is born in its own time through the persistent exercise of desire to know the truth.
This path of the pilgrim is the path which all walk. There is much effort expended physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as the table is prepared for the guest of great honor. No one knows when that guest shall walk through one’s door. Thus, it is well to be prepared at all times as best as one can be.
I am Q’uo. We would like to experiment with moving this channel in order that we may answer some questions, if there be any this evening. Therefore, we shall transfer this contact at this time, thanking each of you again for requesting this particular vibration and thanking this instrument for its service. We shall transfer. I am Q’uo.
This morning I ran a couple of errands with my first stop being at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a couple prescriptions for myself along with some Pepsi Zero and some paper plates. Then I stopped in at Walmart’s to buy some Choc-Zero chocolate.
This afternoon I went upstairs and cleaned Benny’s apartment by using the carpet sweeper to clean the carpet in the hall. Then I used the broom and dustpan to sweep up all the kitty litter in her main room with two litter boxes. My last job was to use the dust mop in all three rooms and in the hall.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
August 18
Contentment
I am the principle of that force behind creation, the Love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness which is the consciousness of Love.
This instrument is not prepared for what we are to say this morning. For this instrument thought we were speaking upon the subject of contentment. No matter how active the mind of mankind, the Spirit is ever more active in its capacity to surprise, for we speak of a higher contentment, the contentment of vulnerability and seeming lack; the contentment of babes unclothed and people hungry; the contentment that becomes a fire within to clothe the naked and feed the hungry; that contentment which makes all creatures children of a meaningful and life-giving God and all God’s creatures meaningful and life-giving people.
Look in contentment at the world of strife and need and respond with a full heart, praying ever the invitation to the Spirit of the living Christ to enter into every seeming lack, in meditation, and multiply plenty. Your consciousness is a gift and a responsibility. May you be content to love others as you love yourself.
We leave you in the growing peace of the realization of infinite Love, 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.
