I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from March 2:

The question today has to do with what we, as we talked around the circle perceived, as an increase in the level of energy, the tension, the intensity, the amount of things and difficulty that people are going though. And we had the idea that maybe what’s happening for people now is they are reflecting this increased energy by having whatever catalyst that is ready to come up in their lives come up—whether it’s getting out of one relationship and into another or transitioning from one place to another, one life to another. We’d like to have some information on whether this might be a correct perception. Any type of elaboration on this topic would be appreciated as well.

(Carla channeling)

We are those known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we are. It is a great blessing for us to be called to your meeting, and we thank each of you for creating this circle of seeking, this opportunity for us to share our thoughts with you. We would ask only that each of you listen carefully to that which we have to say, with an eye to keeping those thoughts which appeal to you and have a resonance to you, and laying aside all those that do not, for we would not wish to constitute a stumbling block to any. We ask that each of you trust your discrimination for there is that within you which recognizes that truth which is yours.

Each within this circle has a tremendous amount of experience at thinking about spiritual structures and the spiritual life. And each realizes already, as the one known as D has said, that there is something going on, and there is change in the wind, shall we say. Now let us pull back a bit and gaze at the sphere of consensus reality that this instrument sometimes calls the world of Maya. It is the nature of illusion to appear quite real. It is the nature of reality to be an illusion. The essence that is not illusion is unfindable, existing in potentiality only. All of which you may become aware with your present—or with our present—organs of sense or instrumentation is illusion. You are not moving from a third-density illusion into a fourth-density position of no illusion. You are moving from an illusion in which there is a relatively small amount of Light into an illusion in which there is a fuller or more generous brand of Light, a different animal, shall we say, a new kind of Light that has different characteristics and that supports different life forms, different planes of existence, different lessons, and so forth.

This is occurring within that which the one known as G called the time/space continuum. And may we say that we are most grateful to have the good offices as the one known as G and it is a great pleasure to work with this beautiful spirit. The experience of each of you, as you begin to become aware of those things which built your question this day, the increased energy, the increased rate of change, the increase of suffering, the increase of stressful things, is receiving experience in ways other than they seem on the surface. The third-density kind of light casts a certain construction upon events which transpire within the day-to-day living. The same events gazed at from the standpoint of the next density are seen in a fuller and more generous Light. The key to adapting to this time of increased Light, increased transparency between third density and fourth density, and increasing amounts of the Light of honesty within the self as it matures and grows, is to offer that which is wrapped up in the fuller and more generous Light. The information coming into your very body, into the energy system of the body, at this time is information that is Light, that is the limitless Light of the one infinite Creator, carrying with it overlays of the increasing fourth-density energy which is, as this instrument said in the discussion prior to this “cosmic sermonette,” bringing things to the surface that were hidden and making the rough places plane.

The energies of fourth density are those energies which look at distortion with full awareness of the beauty of each distortion and awareness also of those harmonics and harmonies of undertone and overtone that create avenues of progression in which the biases, which may seem less than harmonized, may blossom and open in the sunlight of compassion until a fuller view is seen, a larger area constituting a point of view in which not only can a distortion be seen but also the surrounding energy that creates the distortion and that place which seems to be blocked.

It is, from the third-density point of view, very tempting to make judgments, especially concerning the self. It is very tempting to make these judgments far below the level of conscious thought. In this atmosphere of judgment, whether it is known by the self that the self is judging the self, or whether it is only known to the self that there is judgment against the self and the entity experiences that judgment as being projected from others, yet still there is that spiky, thorny energy of judgment which can catch an entity up into an endless round of self-examination and attempts at healing. So, we would suggest that there are things about the fourth-density point of view which are increasingly available to those who look for them.

The fourth-density energy is not an energy in which it is possible to make a judgment. Rather, it is an energy in which distortions are seen in their colors. Let us say there is a different kind of judgment in assessing the beauty, the truth, the purity of a color. Gazing at a distortion it may be seen, shall we say, as green, but is it a beautiful green? Or is it muddy with the overlays of judgment? It is possible in many cases for an entity to sit with the self and ask, “Is this feeling, this color, this bias, a thing of beauty, a thing of honesty, a thing of truth within my being? Or do I carry that which is not intrinsic to myself? Do I carry armor to defend against an enemy? Does this bias carry the pain of self-judgment, the opposite of armoring in which armor is tossed away, and the self is flayed by the judgment of the self?”

The group question for this session was: “The question today has to do with what we, as we talked around the circle perceived, as an increase in the level of energy, the tension, the intensity, the amount of things and difficulty that people are going though. And we had the idea that maybe what’s happening for people now is they are reflecting this increased energy by having whatever catalyst that is ready to come up in their lives come up—whether it’s getting out of one relationship and into another or transitioning from one place to another, one life to another. We’d like to have some information on whether this might be a correct perception. Any type of elaboration on this topic would be appreciated as well.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that each within this circle has experienced thinking about spiritual structures and the spiritual life, and each realizes that there is change in the wind, so now Q’uo wanted to look at the sphere of consensus reality that Carla called the world of Maya because it is the nature of illusion to appear quite real, and it is the nature of reality to be an illusion. Q’uo went on to say that the essence that is not illusion is unfindable, and exists only in potential which we may become aware of with our senses, and we are not moving from a third-density illusion into a fourth-density of no illusion, but we are moving from an illusion in which there is a relatively small amount of Light into an illusion in which there is a greater kind of Light, a new kind of Light that supports different life forms, different planes of existence, and different lessons. Q’uo continued by saying as this is occurring within the time/space continuum we begin to become aware of the increased energy, and we begin receiving experiences in ways other than they seem on the surface so that the third-density light casts a certain perception upon events within the our day-to-day living, and the same events seen from the standpoint of the next density are seen in a fuller Light, and the key to adapting to this time of increased transparency between third density and fourth density. So Q’uo said that in order to experience increasing amounts of the Light of honesty within ourself we can see that which is wrapped up in the fuller and more generous Light as the information coming into the energy system of our body at this time is information that is the limitless Light of the one infinite Creator, carrying with it overlays of the increasing fourth-density energy which is bringing things to the surface that were hidden and making the rough places smooth. Now Q’uo said that the energies of fourth density are those energies which look at distortion with full awareness of the beauty of each distortion and the harmonies of their nature that create avenues of growth in which the difficult biases open, when seen with  compassion, so that a fuller view is seen, and not only can a distortion be seen but also the surrounding energy that creates the distortion and the chakra which seems to be blocked can be seen. Q’uo said that in the third density it is tempting to make judgments about ourself below the level of conscious thought, and whether we or someone else is judging us we still have to deal with the thorny energy of judgment which can cause us to enter into endless rounds of self-examination and attempts at healing, so Q’uo suggested that there are things about the fourth-density point of view which are helpful for us to look at. They said that fourth-density energy is not an energy in which it is possible to make a judgment since it is an energy in which distortions are seen in regard to the truth, beauty, and purity of their colors, so when we are looking at a distortion we may see it as green, but is it a beautiful green, or is it muddied with judgment? Then Q’uo said that it is possible us to sit with ourself and ask: “Is this feeling, this color, this bias, a thing of beauty, a thing of honesty, a thing of truth within my being? Or do I carry that which is not intrinsic to myself? Do I carry armor to defend against an enemy? Does this bias carry the pain of self-judgment, the opposite of armoring in which armor is tossed away, and the self is flayed by the judgment of the self?” On December 25, 2010, Q’uo described how self-judgement affects us:

Energy expenditure, especially when it is devoted to the energies of self-judgment, self-criticism, and a lack of self-forgiveness, are energies that are unwisely spent. Once those energies are dedicated to self-judgment and related energies, those energies are no longer free to be used for Love’s service. Consequently, although it may seem difficult to do at first, we encourage you at all times to come from a place of being self-forgiven, in full knowledge of your worth and with no tendency towards self-criticism.

It is not that we would suggest that you stop noticing when you make errors. Self-perceived errors are helpful, and mistakes are the way people learn, whatever their field of study. However, it is useless to become angry at the self because one has added two and two and gotten five. It is only necessary to note down that two and two equal four and to move from that premise in the future.

The energy expenditures that you are called to are those of Love. That is why you came, and that is why you remain. You are not yet done loving this planet and its people. Consequently, waste no time in judgment on yourself or on others, but only spend your energy on the inner planes for those purposes of dedicating all that you are and all that you have to the service of the one Creator; to being that entity of Love that you intended to be when you chose to come here.

Come to a feeling concerning that bias, that color. See that as yourself and accept that bias, not as a third-density entity would, judging its worth, but as the fourth-density entity would gaze upon any vibration which crossed its path. This enables each entity as a person, as a seeker, to have a way of assessing inner feelings, inner biases, without calling the self in any way incorrect, wrong, or unworthy. We do not mean to suggest by this that there is no structure within which one may judge for the self the ethical rightness or wrongness of action. This is indeed a very helpful and driving part of the spiritual life. Metaphysically speaking, entities move from decision to decision, from choice to choice and those choices build the polarity which is intended by the intensity of the desire to make the most positive choices.

What we are attempting to move into here is the pattern wherein entities set, deep within themselves, as the one G noted, the habit of being a certain way, the habit of accepting this and that as true about the self and those other things as untrue. As change inevitably occurs, some of those things which have been true concerning an entity change, and this process is cumulative, so that many is the person who gazes at the self one day and realizes that a change has occurred, and it has been missed until this instant. It is a wonderful time when that realization occurs.

While each is the entity who lives within the flesh and bone of third density, we assure each that these changes and disruptions will continue and increase, for there is a time of transformation for this entire planetary entity. The actual changes that are occurring, while exquisitely articulated, are in fact relatively slight. Consciousness among your peoples upon the metaphysical level is heartwarmingly, shall we say, close to jumping that area of resistance which is as the meniscus upon the surface of water, which is as the ocean which runs betwixt the densities, that area of resistance or quantum boundary to cross. You are much advanced as a people in doing this, to the extent that we can begin to address those of Earth as a social memory complex in the metaphysical sense. Certainly, there is a good deal of development that shall take place before this process of birthing…

[Side one of tape ends.]

…that work of being, as the one known as G has said.

Yet in that being you can become far less troubled by yourself by doing what this instrument has called falling in love with the self. This is the essence of the fourth-density way of dealing with distortion. Each is aware of entities they know which have quirks and habits that are laughable or ridiculous. This entity’s love of clothes, for instance, is well known to many within this circle. Yet were those within this circle to speak of this quirk of the one known as Carla, their tones would be fond, and their voices would hold nothing of judgment but only affection. For it is seen by all others within this circle that the personality shell of this instrument, while silly, is not criminal. It is simply distortion, and each has its patterns of distortions. Thus, each can see that it is possible to love the quirks and distortions of another, finding them loveable and forgivable.

Yet as this instrument turns its eyes on the self, this instrument, in the past, has been known to judge itself quite harshly for having this predilection and it has, for various portions of time within its life, simply refused to allow itself to purchase any new garments, feeling that it had quite enough. And yet, within this instrument there was the constant craving for something new to put on the body. Is this a clever, intelligent, or sensible way to be? No. And yet it was the work of literally decades for the instrument to come to a day in which she gazed at this distortion within herself and realized that she had fallen in love with herself, that she could forgive herself this: that there were, in her newly expanded way of looking at herself, more important things to focus upon than the details of a personality shell.

Once this lack of judgment began to filter into the roots of personality, relaxing this skein of judgment that had netted and twisted itself about the personality shell, that energy to judge the self faded for this instrument, thus freeing the ability of this instrument to love other flawed personality shells and the souls which they contain. The fourth-density attitude begins with the awareness that each entity is divine, yet a portion of that which we may call the “Godhead principle.” The physical being, the personality shell, the thoughts of the surface of the mind itself, are layers of an illusion which is held in place by that system of energies which is at this time beginning to falter and weaken, beginning to give way to a fuller and more generous Light. Allow and call for this golden Light. Know that you are as capable of receiving it as you are as asking for it. We encourage each to begin to find ways to fall in love with the self. This resource that you have within you of forgiveness is extremely powerful and it connects within the tree of mind with those energies which are far more powerful than those archetypal rulers of third density. This is, may we say, a fascinating subject which we could speak upon for some time yet, but this instrument informs us that we must stop speaking and so we accept that it is time for us to release this instrument from discussing that main query.

Then Q’uo said that we should see and accept ourself as that bias of the nature of our being–not as a third-density entity would by judging its worth– but as the fourth-density entity would gaze upon any vibration because this enables each of us, as a seeker, to be able to assess our inner feelings and biases without judging ourself as worthy, but then Q’uo said that they did not mean that there is no way in which we may judge the ethical rightness or wrongness of action because that is indeed a helpful part of our spiritual life since, metaphysically speaking, we move from choice to choice, and these choices build the polarity which is intended by the intensity of the desire to make the most positive choices. Q’uo continued by saying that they were attempting to move into the pattern of discussing where we set, deep within ourselves, the habit of accepting some behaviors as true about ourself and other behaviors as untrue, and as time moves on, some of those things which have been true for us change, and this process is cumulative, so that many of us who look at ourself one day and we realize that a change has occurred, and it has not been noticed until this instant, and it is a wonderful time when that realization occurs. Q’uo went on to say that each of us lives within the third density body, and they wanted to let us know that these changes will continue and increase, for this is a time of transformation for Earth, and the actual changes that are occurring are slight, but the metaphysical consciousness among our people is close to overcoming that area of resistance which is like the ocean which runs between the densities, and we are advanced as a people in being able to do this, so Q’uo began to describe those of us on Earth as a social memory complex in the metaphysical sense. Now Q’uo said as a fourth-density being we can more easily fall in love with ourself and accept the quirks and habits that seem ridiculous because each of us has our patterns of distortions, and we can see that it is possible to love the distortions of each other and find them loveable and forgivable. Q’uo said that in the past Carla had judged herself harshly for loving to buy new clothes to wear, and she decided to stop buying more clothes because she had all that she needed, but she still craved to buy new clothes until after a few decades she looked at this distortion and realized that she had fallen in love with herself, and now she could forgive herself because there were more important things to focus upon than the details of her personality shell. Q’uo said that once Carla was able to love herself she was also able to love other flawed personality shells and the souls within them, and this was a part of the awareness that each of us is divine, and our personality shell and the thoughts of our mind are layers of an illusion which are held together by the third-density energies that are beginning to weaken and give way to a fuller Light. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that we should call for this golden Light and know that we are capable of receiving it by simply asking for it, so they encouraged us to find ways of falling in love with ourself because this resource of forgiving ourselves is powerful,  and it connects the tree of mind with those energies which are far more powerful than those archetypal rulers of third density. On October 20, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the value of falling in love with ourself:

Each entity shall have its own strengths and its own weaknesses. However, there are some general principles which a seeker may attempt to follow in seeking that point of balance that signifies a level of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual comfort, that feeling of being comfortable within one’s own skin, and pleased with one’s own company.

If you are an entity which enjoys itself, you have achieved an enviable state of balance. It is the work of much compassion and hard-won wisdom to fall in love with the self, to be a support to that self in all of its uniqueness, with all of the quirks that signal and trumpet the imperfection of self. Each entity is uniquely distorted, and each should celebrate and enjoy those distortions while keeping the weather eye out to find those quirks whose laughter is not kind and to work with those portions of energy until the same stimulus triggers, not a different response in terms of emotion, but rather a sense of compassion which embraces and accepts that which is seen as distortion. The entity in balance is one which has achieved a state wherein judgment of others or of self has accuracy tempered with gentle kindness.

We would move to the one known as Jim to pick up any brief queries before we would leave this group. We thank this instrument and this group for bearing with us while we attempt to articulate that which is not particularly easy to say in your words. We thank this instrument, and we leave it in love and in light. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and we greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. At this time we would ask if there might be any shorter queries to which we may speak in a brief fashion. Is there another query at this time?

[Long pause.]

Carla: I guess not, Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo. We are most grateful to each for inviting our presence this day. We realize that we have spoken over-long and we ask your indulgence and your forgiveness for causing you to have to sit for this period of time. We are most grateful for your patience and for your desire to seek that which is loosely called the truth. We share with you that which is our opinion and we ask that you weigh each word carefully, leaving behind any that do not feel right to you. We do not wish to be a stumbling block in any path of seeking.

At this time we would take our leave of this instrument and this group. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. We leave each in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends.

This morning, I reflected on the meditation that I did last night in which I considered the difficulties that Bosco has had in eating less and less each day for some time now so that now he has stopped eating. So, I decided that I would call the vet today and ask for an appointment for tomorrow to euthanize Bosco because I wanted to hang out with him today as much as possible. So, for the rest of the morning and afternoon I went into the living room from time to time and invited him to sit on the pillow on my lap the same way that we start each day with my first two meditations. Occasionally, I would stop meditating and either pet him or brush his fur. I alternated these times with Bosco by working on Camelot Journal entries and answering a few emails that were in my Inbox. Every time I was with Bosco I told him how much I love him, and how much I will miss him when he is gone, and how much I am hoping that the love that we have shared these past few years would help him to become a third-density being.

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

February 4

The Tides Of The Spirit

I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of Love.

How deeply below the ground of sensation, feeling, and thought run the tides of the Spirit within each individual! If you wonder at the seemingly random turns and twists of daily life, the answers that deny randomness and proclaim the harmony of the great Deity’s plan lie far too deep for discovery.

Like a great underground sea, the Spirit makes all things new and guides circumstance in order that the fullness of experience may provide the opportunity for divine change. Thus, when you ask for the Comforter of the Spirit of Jesus the Christ to come upon you, know that the more intense your asking, the greater your opportunity for renewal and change. For you may be created anew at any time that you truly wish it.

With love of such power, peace may not seem possible, yet this power is harmonious, and, whatever the appearances, its outworking lies in perfect peace.

And in this peace that is strife to the world, we leave you, 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.
