I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 7, 1999:

(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 offer ourselves in the attempt to speak to any further queries which those present may have for us. Is there another query at this time?

R: Can a deeper portion of ourselves be used in the third density by the conscious mind to achieve mindfulness?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. And we are glad that we did not speak too soon and exclude you from this opportunity to ask a query this day, for we are always happy to speak to this group, and it is an unusual day when there is only one query.

The deeper self, or higher self, however one wishes to describe it, is a resource which is always available to each third-density entity; that is, from the higher self’s point of view it is available. Yet there is seldom the clear and open communication between the conscious waking personality and the higher self from which it springs and which serves as a guide to each third-density representation. The higher self is a resource which is most usually contacted in the deeper states of meditation or within the state of sleep and dreaming, for this resource is one which is most subtle and one which observes the need to maintain free will most scrupulously.

The higher self and the conscious waking personality that inhabit third density have, previously to the incarnation’s beginning, planned together the lessons for that incarnation and have made ready an access means that the conscious self may utilize during the incarnation to receive information from the higher self. There is the necessity for the conscious self to be seeking in a clear and one-pointed fashion in order for the higher self to respond to the conscious self. For, as we mentioned previously, the subtleties of the nature of the higher self are such that the conscious self is frequently unaware that it is being aided when it is being aided. For the higher self is often the agency through which certain connections are made by the conscious mind, the intuitive mind, and the deeper portions of that same mind. The synchronicities which bring together various resources such as books, movies, experiences, and other selves into the life pattern of the conscious self are those which are the handiwork, shall we say, oftentimes of the higher self.

If one were to request access to this portion of one’s own being for the purpose of remaining in a centered state of being, within the mindfulness of the moment, the very act of requesting assistance would be all that would be necessary for the achieving of this state of mindfulness for a certain period of your time. For the desire that would fuel the need to request assistance is the same desire that could be brought to bear upon focusing one’s being upon the fullness of the moment that is always present. Thus, the higher self could be invoked in such an instance with success, yet it is the responsibility of each incarnated third-density entity to take that which is given, whether it be from the higher self or some other guide or teacher, and use it as he or she will. It is not the responsibility of the higher self or any other source to keep the third-density entity in any particular state of being, for the hallmark of third density and all of creation is the exercise of free will. Thus, the higher self is that source that is always available and which is always offering its assistance as requested.

R asked Q’uo: “Can a deeper portion of ourselves be used in the third density by the conscious mind to achieve mindfulness?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the higher self is always available for communication to the third density entity, and the third density entity may not be consciously aware of that, but they could become aware of such contact in meditation or in the dream state that would insure the free will of the entity. Q’uo continued by saying that before the incarnation the higher self and the third density entity have made plans for the entity to learn within the incarnation, and they must be consciously seeking contact with the higher self in a clear and focused way within the incarnation in order to be able to perceive it. Then Q’uo said that the higher self has various ways of contacting the third density entity such as the conscious mind, intuition, and the deep mind, and the messages may be in the form of synchronistic experiences through people, movies, and books. Q’uo went on to say that if one were to request of the higher self that one be able to remain focused in the state of mindfulness this request would be all that was necessary to achieve the state of mindfulness for a certain period of time. Then Q’uo completed their reply by saying that it would be the third density entity’s desire to request assistance from the higher self to attain the state of mindfulness that would be the same desire that would maintain the state of mindfulness for the entity because it is not the responsibility of the higher self to do this since it would be a violation of the free will of the third density entity. On February 25, 1990, Q’uo spoke of how to achieve mindfulness through the use of meditation:

Now we speak of mindfulness itself, a mindfulness of your choice, a mindfulness of your faith that there is indeed within you the passion that created the universe and all that is in it. In meditation roads are built that create a pathway to an immediate experience of this Love. This is work done in discipline. When the energy of living within you is good, and the desire to learn is strong, there is only joy in this work. It can also be the most difficult work you can imagine. A great deal depends upon the preparation of your self to be a person of joy and lover of life. Be mindful of who you are. You are Love; you are a co-Creator with the original Thought of your own experience and your own creation. There is not one creation, there are as many creations as there are perceptors of creation. Each personal truth is absolute. One cannot give to another faith, but only the desire to find that faith and the realization that such a thing is possible.

We come to speak to you as those who have learned mindfulness. We find in this instrument’s mind the phrase “to pray without ceasing.” This is a good phrase to express that which we mean by being mindful. In meditation you tabernacle with the infinite One, you listen to the silence that speaks deeply, without words, and gives the information that will give you the energy, the joy, and the faith to move ahead. Without the meditation, it is very difficult to remain in a state of unity with your greater Self, with the Creator within. This is the heart of the discipline of personality.

Is there another query, my brother?

R: Is there any feedback that goes back when the conscious entity uses the information and says, “Thank you.” Do you say thank you by paying attention? Does the flow go both ways?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. This is correct, for the higher self is always aware of the experience of the third-density self, for each is so intricately a part of the other that it is not possible to experience an emotion within third density that the higher self is unaware of. Thus, when called upon by the third-density expression of its own being, the higher self listens with a careful ear and an open heart and is aware of each response.

Is there another query, my brother?

R: Is this concept also true when another entity such as one from the Confederation of Planets or a inner plane teacher like Aaron speaks and offers guidance and inspiration, then whoever comes across the material and finds inspiration and help within it?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. This is also correct but is correct more to the specific case of each request, the lines of communication not being as intimate, shall we say, as are those between the higher self and the third density entity. Guides or teachers that are asked for assistance give it as freely in most instances but are not as congruently related to the third-density entity as is the higher self.

Is there another query, my brother?

R: I wonder, when a third-density entity requests help from one of the Confederation such as yourself, as the answer is given is it a community effort between the entity giving the answer and the higher self to shape the answer in the way that is most appropriate for the question?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. And although this may be the case in some instances, for there is much freedom of possibility within such relationships, it is more nearly the case that the higher self and the third-density expression of itself will work together in the formation of the query that one such as we may then respond to, and in our response and in establishing a line of communication with an entity such as yourself, then there is the awareness upon our part of the impact of our response upon your nature or your being. However, our awareness of your gratitude or response to our query is more specific to the time during which we speak with you and you with us than the higher self’s constant relationship with you.

Is there another query, my brother?

R: No. Thank you so much for speaking on this esoteric subject. And say hello to the other entities from your group that we get to hear from time to time.

Q’uo: I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful for your queries, my brother. And we have relayed your regards, and they are also returned as well. Is there another query at this time?

Carla: I’d like to ask about this concept of self in the present moment being a rebel or subversive agent in regards to time. I was surprised at the energy that was in those concepts as I was channeling, almost as if there was an anger for the seduction of time. Could you speak to that a little bit? I had never thought of moving into the present moment as an act of rebellion or subversion.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The nature of your third-density illusion is one which is constructed in such a manner as to present one with a near constant experience of being out of the moment of remembrance, for it is when one is without such a centered state of being that one encounters the catalyst that one has incarnated to encounter. This is the purpose of this illusion: to give one those experiences that will throw one off one’s center to the point that one is then put to the test, shall we say. The spontaneous response of each entity in such instances is the mark, the measure, the register for the entity and its ability and success in learning what it has come to learn. If one is able to achieve the centered state of being in which one is in, shall we say, the flow of the moment, in the center of things, then one is resting more securely in the bosom of the Creator, shall we say. That is a safe refuge from those slings and arrows of your outrageous fortune, for the entity that is able to retire in meditation, in contemplation, or perhaps in prayer to this safe tabernacle within is the entity that is not dealing as straightforwardly with the difficulties of the moment of the incarnation, and one which has returned in some sense to the unity of all things. It is from this unity with all things that entities move when they incarnate within this third-density illusion. Thus, to move and have one’s being there, to expose oneself in a vulnerable fashion to the difficulties of this illusion of forgetting, is to partake in the manner that is desired, that is expected, that is set before all. Thus, to take oneself from the schooling at hand is to, shall we say, play hooky in a certain way.

Is there another query, my sister?

Carla: No. Thank you.

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

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and as it appears that we have exhausted the queries for this session of working we shall once again express our gratitude to each present for inviting us to join your circle of seeking this day. It has, as it always is, been a great pleasure for us to be with you and to speak with you, to listen to the beating of each heart, and the movement of the mind, as each seeks in this circle of meditation. We would take our leave at this time of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I recorded the section on The Service to Others Aspect of Earning a Living from Chapter Five of 102. While I was upstairs, I cleaned Benny’s apartment. I started by using the carpet sweeper on the hall rug. Then I swept up the kitty litter in the room where she stays in the cat tower which has two litter boxes. Then I ran a few errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought some cat food. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought a light bulb to replace the one in the lamp in my bedroom that stopped working this morning.

This afternoon I went outside and cleaned the filters in the fishpond in order to get the height of the fountain higher. Then I took a shovel and went to the place in the drainage ditch where the water from my sump pumps empties out and cleaned the silt out of the pipe to increase the ease of the water flow. I also deepen the drainage ditch in front of the pipe that also helped the water to flow more easily.

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

November 17

Rise Up Today

I am the Spirit of the consciousness of Love in the vibration which comforts this instrument. I greet you in the name of that Love and in the Christhood that is the birthright of all. I ask those of you with stubborn and resilient hearts to rise up, not only this day but every day, realizing the morning of your strength, the noon of your eagerness, the evening of your peace and the nighttime of your content, dwelling in the house of the Lord.

I ask you to rise up and become citizens of the kingdom for which you yearn, that you may transform each perception of the mundane that comes before you into that of the heavenly. For this you must gird your loins and put on the battle armor of a caring and redemptive warrior.

May you go forth to wage peace everlasting. 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.
