I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 17, 2002:

The question today has to do with what we in the group have perceived as a lot of personal energy getting moved around, a lot of chances for change. People seem to be dealing with issues that they have let go for a while. There seem to be a lot of new issues popping up. There seems to be a lot of energy to be used now for catalyst for spiritual growth. And we would like Q’uo’s comment on whether this might be a correct perception, and if so, what are the opportunities that are being offered when we have so much energy available to us?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as the Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We serve that Creator as best we know, and at this stage of our own maturity that service is oriented in offering thoughts to those who seek them among your peoples, through instruments such as this one. It is, in our estimation, the best way that we have of sharing information without infringing upon your free will. And we greatly appreciate and thank each of you who has come to make a circle this day, for your seeking is what calls us to your group. As always, we ask that you use your discrimination in valuing our thoughts. For all things that we say are truthful as far as we know, yet truth is ever a subjective and limited item which appears in one guise and then in another as the rounds of experience become, cycles and the cycles become octaves. We cannot say what will resonate to you from the words that this instrument chooses from our concepts. Were we able to speak with each entity telepathically we would be more sure that our thoughts were helpful because we can link in with the dynamics with any one entity. However, this instrument asks for universal information. And it is at that level that we wish to speak. Consequently, we speak always to a group and each entity within the group has a unique way of processing the information that comes to it. Each of you has a slightly different truth, a slightly different universe, a somewhat eccentric take on the construct which this instrument calls consensus reality. You seem to share one world between each of you, and in truth each of you does. Yet each of you creates that universe, and, therefore, each of you creates a different universe. So be careful as to what truth you accept as your own. Be sure that it rings loud and clear, and if it does not, leave it behind. For we would not be a stumbling block before you.

You ask this day about the impression that each in the group has had that there is an enhanced amount of energy available for work in consciousness, and we would confirm that this is indeed so. And we are glad to speak about it although it is easy to oversimplify this very interesting line of thinking. The experiences that this instrument has had have been somewhat alarming to it, indeed, because recently the personal guidance of this entity, which she has always called the Holy Spirit, has begun to express through her instrument while she and the one known as Jim are in meditation, whereas formerly this entity spoke to this instrument in silence. This entity, indeed, inquired about this recently within the personal meditation and we would confirm that which this instrument received, and that is simply that because of decisions which this instrument has made, because of choices which this instrument has made to support those decisions, having to do with the concept of being a responsible minister or priest, this entity has allowed its channel to open to a far greater extent than was previously possible.

Each entity’s guidance system is quirky, and is quirky along the lines of love, and loyalty, and friendship, and devotion, all of those positive emotions that feed into a sense of safety and wellbeing. Thusly, this instrument has found faces for that guidance which she calls the Holy Spirit, and these faces have changed as this instrument’s needs have changed. Currently this instrument’s faces are friendly, familiar, loved, even adored and much appreciated. Thusly, when the connection is purified of all dross of fear and fear-based emotion, that connection with one who has passed on or with one who is physically present upon the planet takes on the possibility of being used as the face of guidance. Many entities wish for a name. This entity’s mind works with pictures. Consequently, this entity receives many pictures, and guidance will always have a face for this instrument.

The situation in general, at this time, is that the people of your planet have entered planetary fourth density. The labor is ongoing of the planet itself. However, the vibrations have changed. The energy has changed. And you are experiencing the dawn of that which some call fourth density and some call fifth density. It is the density of love or understanding. In this environment guidance is ever closer and ever more powerful to help. In this environment emotions and desires call forth the appropriate vibration of guidance. That is to say, entities at this particular time have a maximum ability to polarize, positively or negatively. All guidance is not positive. The guidance comes because of the vibration of calling that is sent out. This is as if one were a radio listener who was tuning that radio that was the self, looking for the best station, the most pleasant and desired station within that band of vibration which carries the radio waves.

Whatever signal is put out has the potential of a tremendously enhanced and enlarged response. May we say that your planet at this time is fascinating to many, many entities within your inner planes who have come here to observe and some, hopefully, to help. There are many positive and negative entities very interested in the harvest at this time upon your planet. It is not that the present and this next decade, as this instrument has been receiving lately, is the beginning of the end. Rather it is the end of the end, and what we are saying at this time is that approximately for the next decade what you will see within the Earth plane is an increasing transparency of desire to guidance so that efficacy to guidance becomes ever more efficient and, further, we are saying that once it is realized that there is extra help available, and it may be asked for, then the effect can even be squared and squared again and increased exponentially.

So, there is a tremendous amount of positive energy available, what this instrument would call angelic energy available for those who seek to purify their emotions and to see into their desires to the heart of desire. Those who are doing that, focusing and learning of self, shall indeed find miracles occurring, peace becoming possible within the heart. All of the fourth-density environment is available within the mind’s eye, within the chambers of that sacred heart, which is the metaphysical heart, the seat of the one infinite Creator within each of you. As you are able more and more to come into a state of trust and faith, as you are able more and more to find the heart of self, the heart of desire, the heart of service, that which means love and positivity to you personally, the more you shall receive angelic or positive guidance, the more you shall see helpful coincidences occurring, the more you shall see evidence of unseen hands at work.

The group question for this session was: “There seems to be a lot of energy to be used now for catalyst for spiritual growth. And we would like Q’uo’s comment on whether this might be a correct perception, and if so, what are the opportunities that are being offered when we have so much energy available to us?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that it was true that there is more energy available for seekers to work with, and then they used Carla as an example of this by her recent experience of being able to channel her guidance, the Holy Spirit, while meditating with Jim rather than speaking to her only in silence, and this was due to Carla’s decision to be a responsible priest which opened her channel more fully. Q’uo went on to say that Carla had found faces for her guidance which she called the Holy Spirit, and these faces had changed as her needs changed, and now they are friendly, and much appreciated, so when the connection is purified of all fear-based emotion, the connection with one who has passed on, or with one who is physically present, takes on the possibility of being used as the face of guidance. Q’uo continued by saying that the vibrations of the planet have changed so that we are now experiencing the dawn of the fourth density of love and understanding, and at this time guidance is closer and more powerful so that our emotions and desires call forth the appropriate vibration of guidance which gives entities the ability to polarize positively or negatively. Then Q’uo said that at this time, and for the next decade, we will see within the Earth plane an increasing transparency of desire for guidance so that our guidance becomes more efficient, and that once it is realized that there is extra help available, and it may be asked for, then the effect can even be squared and squared again and increased exponentially. Now Q’uo said that the fourth-density positive energy is available within the chambers of our sacred heart, the seat of the one infinite Creator within each of us, and as we are able to come into a state of trust and faith we are able find the heart of ourself, which means love and positivity to us, the more we shall receive angelic guidance; and the more we shall see helpful coincidences occurring; and the more we shall see evidence of unseen hands at work. On May 25, 2003, Q’uo spoke of how we are receiving angelic guidance as we move into the fourth density:

In this atmosphere, the possibilities of becoming a powerful, magical person are great and as the time sharpens the focus right unto the moment of birth of fourth density, there is in effect a fourth-density energy that is now as real upon your sphere as the third-density energy. It shows up within the physical world only by creating anomalous effects [in terms of physics’ sub-atomic particles] but it shows up within the inner life of that wonderful multilayered being that each of you is in a much more clear and obvious way, as the interpenetration of the two densities becomes such that it is much easier for nature, or for the forces of coincidence, to work in order to bring things to your attention which you have asked to be brought to your attention. That is why, in the midst of such challenging times, such times of transformation and change, yet still each of you has had the feeling of entities helping along the way, unseen hands giving a boost and angelic guidance coming through unexpected and unusual means.

On the other hand, the more that those who choose to identify this energy as that which has to do with fear, or power that cannot be controlled which results in fear, the more such entities will become confused and misguided. And the more situations will increase exponentially to give more opportunities for negative catalyst. So, it is not the catalyst that is the work of this additional energy that is in the Earth planes at this time. The energy is there and is available to the spirit within, to the soul that you are, as you work on whatever catalyst that you receive. But guidance does not have to do with the catalyst. Your guidance has to do with you. Catalyst is an interesting subject in itself. For there is the impression that there are some things that are excellent, and there are some things that are terrible, and then there are many things in between. And each within this room knows pretty much what those things might be. Pain is bad. Pleasure is good. Yet we say to you that this can be easily subverted, not because entities wish to become confused and misguided but because your surface cultural environment has a somewhat negative bias at this time. Entities function according to fear. Consequently, almost all of incoming catalyst, left to itself, will have somewhat of a negative spin.

Thusly, it is not catalyst that is positive or negative. This instrument has gone though much in the way of surgery within the last season of your year. Was this a negative experience? Emphatically not. For this instrument it was a blessed and inspiring time of studying and healing. It is just as easy to have great difficulty and to find great negative emotions when experiencing what the outer world would think of as positive catalyst as it is to experience the same difficult negative emotions because of seemingly negative catalyst. Any catalyst gives one an entry into a full range of responses. Guidance has to do with the mechanism of the entity attempting to discover how to look at its own thoughts and its own responses. Guidance helps an entity take a longer point of view and see into interior patterns that are not necessarily obvious upon the surface. Often guidance will come second-hand and indirectly through those very flesh and blood angels that are about each of you every day, the friends and the family that seem to be either good or evil, yet are all equally perfect souls in perfect expression in terms of their own universes.

Theone known as S has a good grasp on this aspect of that which we are saying because of having a nature which is more inclined to be philosophical than reactive, and this is a gift which many entities have brought into incarnation with them to help them deal with the discomfort of living upon a planet that is somewhat more negative than their native vibrations. However, those who seem to be very negative are very often expressing pain and negative emotion when they deal with each other because of being in the interior of self, extremely sensitive and very much in pain because of the same sensitivity to vibration as those who are expressing positively. The mood of an entity does not indicate an entity’s basic polarity. It is more subtle than that by far and much more a matter of that which goes on well below the surface of thinking. However, when an entity realizes that there is help available, then it is that there is the possibility of linking the conscious mind and the subconscious or unconscious mind so that the guidance may come from the deeper part of self and appear above the surface of that threshold of awareness. It usually comes in a still, small voice of silence. That this instrument has opened a larger channel to a conscious word-based form of guidance is simply a function of its long years of work in this area.

The guidance said to this entity, and to the one known as Jim, “You are now able to listen to our words because you are tough and have become tough enough to listen and yet make your own conclusion.” Thusly we are free to speak. Each of you needs to be tough, to hew to your own sense of things, to seek your own guidance and to see all of those who come within your own purview as equally valid and valuable regardless of how they are expressing. This is your gift to each: the level of awareness with which you see them, hear them, and understand them. What can you do for another? You can see another. You can empathize with another. You can love another. You can forgive and accept another. These things are ineffable. They are not quantitative. Often, they cannot be spoken. But we assure you that they can be felt, and that they can help. And when the desire is to help and intercession goes up, and the prayer is offered for those entities that you see in pain, that they may resolve their issues and may come to a balanced awareness that does not give them so much pain, these prayers are very effective. These very invisible and very silent voices that speak in the house of prayer have a real effect within the entities for whom prayer is offered.

Trust then, when there is concern, to turn it from anger, grief, or whatever other emotion does not feel as if it were the emotion of the true heart, to prayer. For turning to prayer, turning to hope that another individual’s suffering may be alleviated, is a turning to that love within the self and the worth within the other self that is not expressing at the moment but remains the truth of that entity. It is not always necessary that all entities know the truth. This instrument heard just yesterday that the subconscious works, psychologically speaking, without the necessity for words; that is, if one person knows something and is able to make a subconscious contact with another person, what one person knows will become what another person knows also. Trust this level of metaphysical reality because it forms that reality which you speak of as the physical illusion or maya.

Then Q’uo said that the more that we identify this energy as having to do with fear the more we will become confused and misguided, and then we will have more opportunities to experience negative catalyst, so it is not the catalyst that is the work of this additional energy that is in the Earth planes at this time. Q’uo said that this energy is available to the soul that we are as we work on whatever catalyst that we receive, but our guidance does not have to do with our catalyst because our guidance has to do with us. Now Q’uo said that catalyst can be seen as in a range of good to bad, with more somewhere in between, but most catalyst will tend toward the bad because our culture has a tinge of negativity to it. Q’uo went on to say that catalyst itself is neither good nor bad because: “it is just as easy to have great difficulty and to find great negative emotions when experiencing what the outer world would think of as positive catalyst as it is to experience the same difficult negative emotions because of seemingly negative catalyst. Any catalyst gives one an entry into a full range of responses.” Q’uo continued by saying that guidance has to do with helping us to discover how to look at our thoughts and responses and to see into our interior patterns that are not obvious upon the surface, and often our guidance will come indirectly through our friends and family that seem to be either good or evil, yet all are perfect souls in the expression of their own universes. Q’uo said that sometimes our mood will cause us pain that we express as a negative emotion when we deal with other people, but our mood does not indicate our basic polarity because that is more a matter of that which goes on well below the surface of our thinking. Then Q’uo said that when we realize that there is help available, we can seek to link our conscious mind with our unconscious mind so that our guidance may come from the deeper part of ourself, and come in the still, small voice of silence. Q’uo said that if we wish to help people who are suffering, that we may empathize with them, love them, forgive and accept them, and we can offer intercessory prayer for them so that their pain and their issues may be resolved. They said that these invisible and silent voices that speak in the house of prayer have a real effect within the entities for whom prayer is offered. Q’uo said that when we see another person suffering a difficult emotion that we should use prayer in hope that another individual’s suffering may be alleviated by turning to that love within our self and the worth within the other self that is not expressing at the moment but remains the truth of that entity because it is not always necessary that all entities know the truth. Q’uo completed their reply by saying: “that the subconscious works, psychologically speaking, without the necessity for words; that is, if one person knows something and is able to make a subconscious contact with another person, what one person knows will become what another person knows also. Trust this level of metaphysical reality because it forms that reality which you speak of as the physical illusion or maya.” On December 7, 1980, Latwii spoke of the power of prayer:

Prayer is a conversation. Sometimes you ask for things for yourself. Sometimes you ask intercession for others. Sometimes you only wish to say a thanksgiving to the Creator and do not have any questions to ask. Sometimes, you merely say, “What should I do today, Father?” and then you listen, that also being a prayer. A prayer is a rather privileged conversation held inwardly betwixt yourself and the One whose Spirit will fill your life if you request it.

You are guarded by what you would call angels so that in any situation wherein you are in a prayerful, penitential, or meditative attitude, the forces about you will concentrate and grow brighter. The Creator being within you has no trouble hearing you for the Creator is the entire creation within everything, the substance of everything, omnipresent and therefore knowing everything. Thus, you cannot speak too softly for the Creator.

We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, as energy begins to wane for this instrument and for this group, in order that we might address any questions that remain upon the minds of those present. We greatly thank you again, and leave this instrument thanking it also, in the love and in the light of the Creator. We transfer to the one known as Jim. We are those of Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each once again in the love and in the light of the one Creator. Is there a shorter query that we may attempt to speak to at this time?

S: I have a question related to the initial discussion on our seemingly dysfunctional family affairs. My wife has a desire to help her family as best she can in working with us. It seems that with her brother this desire has really blown up in her face. When the desire to help another does kind of fall flat on its face, do you have any suggestions on how to help, what to do, where to go, what to say?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We do not specialize in the attempt to unravel the personal tangle of perceptions as a normal part of our service to those of this planet. However, we may speak in some general terms in this particular case. It is not often easy to determine when one has been of service when one looks at any particular situation, for all experience is in motion. This is to say that as one step is taken in a particular direction in the uncovering of personal blockages of energy that the step shall be recognized as that which is helpful. For oftentimes the momentary experience and expression of growth may seem difficult and be beneficial, may seem beneficial and yet prove difficult at a later date.

In this instance, where there has been the emotional tear in a relationship, it would seem that the effort to assist has failed. And yet, is this true? If an entity, in this case the brother of the one known as C, moves himself to a point of distress and expresses this distress in a public fashion, as was done, perhaps there is in this expression a movement of energy which was necessary, yet difficult, aided by those around this entity so that this entity might experience what you would call a traumatic experience, and share this trauma with the one known as C, and with others as well, then can one say that there has been no movement in this entity’s growth and in the growth of those about it? For indeed, there has been movement. There has been experience and the sharing of intense emotions. That there has not been a resolution in your terms at this time may be interpreted as failure. Yet is this true? It cannot be said with certainty, not even by those of Q’uo, for the future is mazed by free will. We see possibilities. We see possibilities for great growth for all concerned, depending upon current and future choices. The stage has been set. Parts have been assigned. Roles are being played. Ancient energies are being expressed. There is the opportunity for further efforts in this endeavor. Do not ever feel that failure is all that is possible to determine from a situation in which anger has played a large part. Growth comes in many packages, my brother. Keep the heart open, the mind clear, the effort ever strengthened by the will to serve wherever possible.

Is there a further query, my brother?

S: No. Not right now. I would like to wish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day. I hope that you’re wearing your green.

I am Q’uo, and we are indeed green with envy at the opportunity that each of you has within your illusion to celebrate such occasions and to move in the mysterious ways that are ever possible within the third density where the veils are so, so present within each experience. We thank you, my brother.

Is there another query at this time?

S: Not from me.

Carla: I am going to ask a kind of open-ended question because the catalyst for the question is the private guidance that I have got that seems to me to be somewhat ego centered, having to do with being a prophet of Mary, a prophet of the New Testament, a prophet of Sophia, these things that I have heard recently. I have seen many groups go down a bad road starting with some identified part of buying into some existing mythology and then painting oneself into a corner out of which one cannot go. I very much do not want to participate in anything of this vibration, and I simply would appreciate your response to my concern.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we said to the one known as S, it is not our speciality to speak in specific terms to personal questions that are of pivotal importance in one’s growth. However, to this query we may speak briefly, for there is great possibility for infringement in this area of your concern. You have been, as you are aware, opening yourself to more possibilities for the energies of change, of growth, and of sharing yourself with others. As you have done this, so there has been a response from the time/space portion of yourself in the form of many tendencies, many urgings, many energies that are open-ended in that you may work with the effort to grow in a number of ways with the energies that you have experienced in response to your invitation. You know well how to challenge such energies and entities and have done this without fail. Look then to your own inner guidance, to that hand in whose grasp you place your being. Find there the comfort and security that you seek. We only ask that you return to that which you have chosen as your own North Star, shall we say.

Is there a further query, my sister?

Let me just follow up on that (and thank you for that answer, Q’uo) by saying that were I a practicing Buddhist I would probably be getting that I was a prophet of whatever energies of that particular myth would bring one into the heart more, and because I am a woman and because I am a Christian, I am receiving the rays of that energy which is Jesus Christ, which are especially intimate and fit in with my gender and personality. Could you confirm that?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister, and we can indeed confirm that which you have spoken well.

Carla: So that I do not need to take it literally. I can continue to invite the mystery and not lean on this as some kind of other mission. It is part of the same thing. Right?

I am Q’uo, and this is so. Is there a further query?

Carla: No. I don’t have any further questions.

I am Q’uo, and we thank you once again, my sister, for your query, for your concern, and for your fastidiousness. Is there a final query at this time?

[No further queries.]

I am Q’uo, and we are most grateful to have been invited to your circle of seeking this day. As always, it was a privilege and an honor for us to join you. At this time, we shall take our leave 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 the Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went over to my neighbor’s yard across the street and filled her two bird feeders with bird seed.

This afternoon I ran some errands with my first stop being at the Post Office to send a package to a friend in France. My second stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to place an order for an prescription, and I bought some non-food items.

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

January 8

The Holiness Of High Places

I am of Jesus Christ. The full consciousness of Love is the principle which wings my being into the nexus of your own. We who are of the principle of Jesus Christ greet you in that consciousness of Love which pervades all things.

It has long been in the consciousness of humankind that the high places, the mountains and hills, are holy. Is there superstition and false belief to the holiness of high places? Perhaps some, and yet it is most certainly true that the Spirit of the one Lord of all things dwells more purely in less cluttered atmospheres and is more prevalent in the perceptions of those who seek to rise, literally and symbolically, from the miasma of thought pollution which infects any crowded community.

We are able to speak anywhere, under any conditions. Yet the voice of Love is often silent. To hear the stillness, it is often most helpful that the distractions of noise from other minds and other hearts which seek after other faces of the Lord be somewhat removed, both literally and, shall we say, psychologically. If you cannot get yourself to a high place within your external world, be absolutely certain that the high places within your own hearts are kept.

We leave you in the peace of holy places and still thoughts, now and forever. 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.
