I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 2, 1997:
How should we deal with negativity in our daily round of activities, from situations that we perceive as negative, to people who would like to control us? What is the best way to deal with negativity, a situation, a person or even a thought in our own being?
(Carla channeling)
We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We thank you for this privilege of being called to your circle of seeking. We thank each of you for the seeking, the desire, and the persistence that has brought you to this place at this time. We thank you because you have blessed us with the ability to serve in the way in which we have hoped to serve by being within your Earth’s spheres at this time. To be able to share our opinions and our thoughts is all that we could ever hope to do. We have been limited, and will continue to be limited, by those who offer us their service as channels. And so when there is a group and a channel and we are able to be among you to enter into your sense experiences, to feel and sense anew the courage and the stamina that it takes to seek by faith alone, we are overcome by appreciation, and we thank each one of you for all that you have endured in order to be able to seek, and to hope, and to wish to live in faith, for that is what we come to suggest to people: that there is a center to that life which does not end.
There is heart to the truth. And that center and that heart is Love. Love is a pale and useless word, almost, because your people have used it in so many, many ways. We use it in the sense of unconditional and freely given Love, the Loving that persists when there is no return, when there is no obvious reason to continue to love. This is the Love in whose vibration we come and in whose vibration you each have also come into incarnation because all that there is, is Love. The raw material of your universe is Love interacting with Light in order to produce energy fields. Each of you is an energy nexus, a complex of vibrations and fields of energy. And this complex of vibrations is as your name or your signature. We do not need to know the names that you are called by in order to recognize each soul, for as you come to us, as you sit in meditation, you are as the song that is sung, or the painting that is before the eye, every detail, every nuance so beautifully collected. We are aware of how rattled and how chaotic you find your own selves. The heavy illusion in which you now enjoy living is specifically designed to promote confusion and being lost and at sea and unable to order the universe by means of your intellect. This is what your illusion is supposed to do, to pull you off that intellectually safe balance point from which you may carefully judge and logically grade all incoming sensory data, thereby ensuring that your universe shall continue to be as you have set it up to be.
The Creator, wishing to aid in developing each spark of Love in each unique way, is delighted to offer each entity those confusions and difficulties and losses and limitations which shall involve the seeker in learning those lessons to do with love and loving for which you took incarnation, for each of you here has personal work to do. Each of you came to incarnation carefully choosing your relationships, your gifts of personality and character, and aiming that self within incarnation at the kind of life and the kind of learning which you and your higher self felt would be the most helpful use of your incarnation, for this time within physical incarnation is rare and valuable. The opportunity to live by faith alone is given only to the density in which you are now enjoying the experience of living.
So, as you ask the question about dealing with those entities which come into the experience with seeming negative service to offer. Our first comment, shall we say, is to move back to that beginning of all things which is Love, the one original Thought, that Logos that is Love Itself, that Love that is the All-Self, the Creator. It is well to move back always to one’s basis for being, to be sure the feet are standing upon solid metaphysical ground. Starting with unconditional Love is always correct and accurate as a mental or logical beginning. Now, as sparks of that original Love, each of you has, through many incarnations, distorted in various ways this original vibration. And each of you basically yearns to more and more closely approach the original vibration which is unconditional Love. So, in that sense each of you is seeking to become the Creator, seeking to be lost completely in unconditional Love. This thirst and hunger that you have to be closer to the source and the ending of all things is that thirst and hunger that the awakened spirit feels.
Once you have awakened to your spiritual identity, you cannot go back to sleep. You have to see your life and your priorities from that point on in a way which deals with the fact that you are now on a journey whose end you do not know, whose next steps you may not know. And you are on this journey with nothing more than your hopes and dreams and some companions along the way.
So, as you interact with the people about you it is well again and again to move back into the awareness of the self as a vibration of metaphysical self, as that self which overshadows the illusion and the problems and concerns of that illusion. Whatever the day-to-day actions, behaviors, and thoughts concerning dealing with negatively oriented entities, it is well always to come back to the remembrance of who and what you truly are, for in realizing more and more fully your own nature you are becoming more and more aware of the nature of those about you. Many are the entities in your world that prefer to gaze upon the self with different priorities. Those priorities may seem very negative. In actuality, most entities upon your planet are neither very positive nor very negative but, rather, are in a gravity well in between those two polarities, neither working hard enough to serve others to polarize towards that path, or working hard enough to gather power and control over others to progress along the polarization towards the negative path.
The great temptation for one who is seeking to serve is to forget that all other entities in your creation are identical to you, in that both of you are of the one great original Thought. No matter how deep the imperfections of that entity may seem, the basic nature of that entity is congruent with your own, for each is perfect. The distortions are apparent in the illusion. All those who go through incarnation in third density distort the vibration of infinite Love. The one you know as Jesus distorted this Love. It is impossible to live and experience a lifetime in third density without distorting appreciably that original vibration. It is for developing these distortions that you came to this experience.
From the level of soul to soul, then, whether you are gazing at someone whom you feel is acting in a petty way, or you find someone being critical in a small way, or you find someone being righteously indignant, or you find someone willing to massacre thousands, no matter how widely distributed along apparent diversity the souls you meet are, each of them is an image of you. Each of them tells you something about who you are, including that dark side entities may not wish to explore. And so, from that soul level, the question of what to do with this entity becomes less than difficult in that from that level each entity is to be loved as you love yourself. To love the Creator, to love the self, and to love others as the self; these are very simple suggestions, and from that soul level they are fairly comprehensive instructions.
The group question for this session was: “What is the best way to deal with negativity, a situation, a person or even a thought in our own being?” Q’uo began by saying that Love is an energy field that uses Light to form the entire creation, but the illusion of third density makes it impossible for our intellect to make sense of our lives, and the Creator has given us this opportunity to learn the lessons of love and loving through processing difficulties and confusions in a unique way which is the reason that we have incarnated at this time. Q’uo continued by saying that we and our higher self have chosen our friends and family to learn these lessons by using faith alone which is only possible within the third density. Then Q’uo began to speak to the group question of how to deal with negative entities by saying that the unconditional Love of the Creator is the basis of our being, and through many incarnations we have distorted this Love in an attempt to become one with the Creator. Then Q’uo said that once we have awakened to our spiritual identity, we are on a journey with no end, with nothing more than our hopes and dreams and some companions along the way. Q’uo continued by saying that we should remember that we are the vibration of Love when we are dealing with entities that seem very negative because we are dealing with entities whose true nature is the same as ours, and though many entities will seem to be negative most people that we deal with in our lives are neither positive or negative but a mixture that dwells within the sinkhole of indifference. Then Q’uo recommended that we remember that everyone is the same as we are in that we all are perfect, but we all distort the vibration of Love in some way as did the one known as Jesus, and every soul that we meet will tell us something about ourselves, including the dark side of our self, in the unique way that they distort the vibration of Love, so Q’uo said that we should love all others as we love our self and in the same way that we love the Creator. On December 25, 2010, Q’uo said that we should love each other and love the Creator:
So, yes, there is every reason to feel more tired than usual, to be weary with the world’s heavy energies. And yet you came here to serve. This is the moment for which you sacrificed so much. Now you are here. Now you are on the ground. Now you are in the midst of the fire, and it certainly is wearying. Yet comfort yourself with the knowledge that you did not come here to fix things. You came here to love things—to love yourself and to love those around you, to love all of the tribe of humankind and, above all, to love the Creator.
Now, it is often not on the soul level from which entities wish to move. And when one leaves that safe ground, shall we say, metaphysically speaking, of loving from the soul level unconditionally, the ground becomes rapidly much less simple. The terrain can be very puzzling, and so if one does not wish simply to express love or to feel love for another, or to move lovingly without disturbing another, one then has to take some responsibility to look at the self, to look at the gifts of the self, to look at the lessons that you feel that you are working on as a seeking entity, to see, as this instrument would say, to see where you are coming from. Are you objecting to this entity from a red-ray point of view? Do you find the negative actions of this entity to threaten yourself, or someone else, or people in general? Are you coming to the question, “How do I deal with this entity?” from an orange-ray energy where you do not know how to relate to this one entity that you feel that you have to make a connection with as an individual? Or are you coming to dealing with this entity from the standpoint of a person being in a group; that is, using the yellow-ray energy? Or are you coming to this person from the open heart? Or from that level of communication or even from that indigo-ray energy of work in consciousness?
All of these levels of connection with other entities have their own best ways of expressing, and I think that it aids the entity to grasp exactly where the energy is moving from and where you would hope that it would go to.
Once that you have fairly well become satisfied with your own self-knowledge of why you have singled this entity out to practice on, shall we say, then you can look at the gifts that you have. Do they include more nonverbal or more verbal skills? Is your gift more in the line of praying for an entity or speaking with an entity? The gifts that one has are important. It is well to think of this when you are seeking the highest and best way that you can be with someone else, and it is very helpful to know what you have that might be of service. So often the gifts that one has, if used well, create a life experience that is utterly different than that entity who, gazing at its gifts, chooses instead to move in a way in living and working in relationships that is logically or mentally thought out and makes good sense but may not be a comfortable habitation for that eternal creature that you are.
Let us think now in terms of what that entity that is acting negatively would wish of you, for in giving service to others entities find themselves in very confusing waters. Perhaps the most common mistake that positively oriented seekers make is the mistake of feeling that they know what another entity needs. Indeed, it is the work of some patience to come to that place where you are willing to wait until you are asked in order to attempt to be of service. This sounds very simple but is very difficult when you feel that you have something to say that will help another. When this feeling hits there is the urge to share, and we do not say that this is wrong. We simply say that it may not be service to others, for what entities desire they shall ask for, and it is when that other entity asks that that precious gift of service may then be shared.
In truth, we do not feel that there is one way for all people to treat all people, for if each entity were perfectly in harmony with each other entity this would not be third density. Before the matter is investigated it would seem obvious that the better that each entity treats each other entity the more harmonious and beautiful the experience of living. And yet the collisions that occur when intimacy is sought either with the self or with others are not harmonious, and from the standpoint of each individual within the illusion of mortality, and space and time, it simply seems impossible that one will ever know enough. And one comes to the conclusion that one does not know much at all. And when one comes to this realization it is a great gift because great mistakes are made by those who think they know exactly what to do. And there is great healing in the awareness that not only do you not know but that you are not supposed to know, and you are not here to know the right thing. But rather you are here to experience, and to learn, and to share the essence of yourself with the planet that you came to love and serve. And this is not that which is spoken. This is not that which begins with working with another entity. This is that which begins with breathing in and breathing out. Here is your vocation, in the living, in being, in the breathing, in being where you are with your senses alert and your heart open, paying attention to that moment that is the only such moment that you ever shall have.
So, again and again, one comes back to the fact that in the illusion you must follow your gifts, know yourself as well as possible, and then share the self as honestly, as lovingly, and as much in accordance with those gifts that you have as possible. In this you shall again and again fail. You shall find that you have said what you would not say. You shall find that you shall allow moments to go by when you wished you had said something but could not find the courage. See all of this, if you can and when you can, as nothing more than the grist for the mill, as the one known as Ram Dass has said. And when you perceive negativity, see yourself and say to yourself, “I am that also.” For each has that dark side that is so shiningly mirrored for you. And if you see this again and again then that gives one pause for thought. “Why have I invited this? Why did I feel that I needed this rasp roughing up the surface of my life? What does this image of myself tell me that I need to know?” For you are that self and the appropriate emotion is always love.
When inappropriate emotions are felt, however, we cannot say that it is wrong to express those feelings which may sound negative, for it may be your gift to that person to take away the mask and give that entity another way to think about the negativity that that person is doing. There is no one way to relate. You must simply toss upon the waters those actions and those words that you would most want to be shared. Know that each word that you say and each action that you do is not what it seems, and that the ripples of each action and each word will become confused and will tangle into other actions and other energies that you have set in motion.
There is an art to becoming clear enough within the self that the self becomes almost transparent. The art in this is that when the self becomes enough transparent then the self does not any longer relate so much to the mirror images that come within one’s view. If that dark side of self is seen clearly enough already, then the emotions arising in response to that negative person coming into your purview is perhaps a small disturbance, an awareness of disharmony, perhaps not even that. The more work that you do in knowing, forgiving, and accepting yourself, the less work that you shall have to do vis à vis other selves. And the more powerfully you defend, understand and respect that dark side of yourself, the less you shall have to defend against the dark side of others.
Each within the group has had experiences with negative energy, had run-ins and painful times with disharmonious entities, and each has that sense of wishing to make it all better. And you may do precisely that at any moment that you choose by stepping back into the remembrance of the one great original Thought. You are doing nothing more and nothing less than vibrating in the original vibration that is your true nature. The rest is details. May you enjoy the details of your life. Knowing them to be temporary does not make one less fond and appreciative of the opportunity to live, and love, and seek in a world in which by faith alone can one find one’s way. May you love as you are loved. May you love each other, care for each other, pray for each other, carry each other’s burdens, tell the truth to each other, and bring each other home.
Then Q’uo asked how we might relate to others if we are not relating from the soul level of unconditional love and suggested that we ask ourselves if we are relating from the red ray of survival, the orange ray of one-to-one relationships, the yellow ray of group energies, the open heart of green ray, the blue ray of clear communication, or the indigo ray of work in consciousness because it is important to know where the energy is coming from and where we hope it might go. Q’uo went on to say that once we have figured out where we are coming from, we need to determine what gifts we might have to share with an entity, whether they might be communication, or prayer, or whatever is our highest and best gift to create a better life experience. Then Q’uo said that when we are trying to determine how to respond to a person who has acted negatively towards us, we need to consider their free will and not respond in a way that we think is best, but we should wait until they ask us to share a certain thought or action. Q’uo continued by saying that when one has tried its best to be of service and constantly fails it finally discovers that it does not know how to be of service in a practical way, and this is a gift because great mistakes can be made when we think we have the answers, and our real service is in our being, our living with our heart open in the present moment. Then Q’uo said that we will experience many failures in our attempts at sharing our gifts in various ways, but we should accept our selves even when we see our dark side has been exposed we should realize that we are that dark side, and if we wonder what its message is and how to deal with it that the way to work with it is always to love it. Q’uo went on to say that when we feel strong emotions about what a person has done to us that seems negative that it is appropriate to speak our truth and to become almost transparent in expressing the feelings of the dark side of the self, and the more work that we can do in knowing, forgiving, and accept our dark side the less that we will have to defend against the dark side of others. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we all have had difficult experiences and have wanted to make them better, and the best way to deal with them was to return to the one great original Thought of Love, and then they said: “May you love each other, care for each other, pray for each other, carry each other’s burdens, tell the truth to each other, and bring each other home.” On September 4, 2010, Carla gave a talk at our Homecoming Gathering in which she talked about how to love and accept our dark side:
It’s those ugly emotions, those dark emotions, that actually have a lot of our strength. Do you remember by any chance, the episode of the original Star Trek [TV series] where Captain Kirk went through the transporter and was changed into his weak side and his strong side or his good side and his bad side and he could no longer make decisions? Only the rapist, the soldier, the brutal Kirk could actually make decisions. And the hardest thing Kirk had to decide was to go ahead and reunite with the ugly side of himself so that when he went back through the transporter and then came out again Scotty’s clever maneuvers had been able to combine those two into one so that he could function in this world.
We need our dark side. We need to love our dark side. We certainly don’t need to exercise it, but we need to appreciate it, to accept it, and to ask it to work for us instead of against us. And I think we can do that. We can learn to play this piano. Not just chopsticks. We can be good. We can be really good!
We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim. We thank this instrument and leave it in the love and the light. We are those of Q’uo.
This Morning I went outside and used my backpack blower to clean up the many tree limbs that Hurricane Helene brought down in yesterday’s rain by blowing them into two piles in the parking area in front of my home. I was able to fill three garbage cans. I wanted to get the front yard looking better because we are having a public channeling meditation this afternoon. Then I came inside and got all of the chairs out in their proper places for the attendees.
Our channeling meditation began at 1 pm, and there were 11 attendees, and I was the only channel since Gary, Trish, and Austin are in Prague for the Law of One Gathering this weekend. Most of the attendees were new, so I got a chance to make new friends as a result of all of us sharing our spiritual journeys as we always do in the round robin that comes before the channeling. The channeling lasted for about an hour, and then everyone stayed for another hour sharing more about their spiritual journeys.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
September 28
Go Forth Rejoicing And Glad
I am the spirit of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.
It is the wish of the principle of unconditional and creative Love that each particle of the Creator’s Love, each of your cells, go forth into the world rejoicing and glad.
Whatever your troubles, whatever your sorrows this day, we ask you to treat them as gently as honored guests. For each of those beautiful and less beautiful things that you may meet is something which may catch you, as a twig along the river; as that which may snag your attention and curl you into the outwardly blinded and inwardly gazing position of the fetus.
Let not your troubles bend you over or bring you to the dust, but rather stand in faith and enjoy each small and great blessing that you may find before you this day, offering praise and thanksgiving with a strong heart. Thus, may the Father’s Light shine in your world.
We leave you in peace, now and ever.
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.
