I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from May 3:
Question from R: This evening R would like to hear whatever words of wisdom, or love, or enlightenment that you might have to offer him concerning the journey that he has taken and what would be most appropriate for him now.
(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. We are most blessed to be with you this evening, and we thank you for the care for your soul’s truth that has led you to set aside this time and this energy for this purpose. This instrument also has set aside this time and this energy which are hers for this purpose, as has the one known as Jim. Consequently, we are honored and privileged to be able to share with you these thoughts that form the message which we have for you this day. Please be aware that we would greatly appreciate your utmost discernment in listening to that which we say, keeping only those thoughts which resonate deeply within you as personal truth, having the character of a memory recalled. Leave aside all those things which may trouble you or not fit those parameters of your discrimination which are such faithful sentinels of your own truth, which is unique. This will enable us to speak our thoughts without concern for encroaching upon the freedom of your will and we appreciate it greatly.
We see the landscape which you offer at this time as the man solitary and alone upon the hill, gazing out over a vast and trackless land. We see the attitude with which this figure is viewed as seminal in this circumstance, for the trackless waste may be desert, or it may be the fecund and infinite ocean out of which all life springs. It can be the desperate regions of the Sahara or it can be the gentle shore of the ocean of life. Such is the case of the solitary man upon the hill. Is it a hill of good dreams, or a hill of nightmares? Is it a hill from which one is looking upon the past, or is it a hill from which one is gazing upon the possibilities of the infinite divergencies of the present moment going into the future?
We are gratified, my brother, that you chose to refrain from delimiting the parameters of that which we had to say, for we are therefore much more able to use those images and words that move beyond words into emotion of which this instrument is capable. So are we able to speak in this way, when complete freedom of expression is offered and potluck is taken, shall we say. For we care deeply to answer that which has been asked, not to answer that which has not been asked, and not to infringe upon the learning that is implicit in the question. Consequently, rather than asking, you knocked, and a door may open, and for this we thank you.
This instrument had been discussing the broad range of clients with a fellow counselor. And the other counselor suggested to this instrument that the vast majority of his counselees were experiencing the feelings of guilt and unworthiness that come from not setting down the catalyst and experience of the past, not attending to the releasing of old energy and thus being stuck between the past and the guilt thereof, and the future and the fear thereof. This conversation was not without its rhythm in this own instrument’s process, for it deals with continuing triggers which open into unworthiness, which effectively deflate the blooming of this instrument’s joy in the present moment. Consequently, this comment went deeply into this instrument’s heart, and we share the gratitude that this instrument has felt for this very common-sense observation.
The deep wanderings of any entity will include many episodes during which the knight in shining armor errs in judgment or in intention and consequently loses the luster of the feeling of honor that goes with the appellation of knight. While in the metaphysical realm, error is not seen in the same light, shall we say, as within your density and within your illusion. Nevertheless, within the metaphysical worlds there may be found in any incarnation those spots which did not come clean, those stains of judgment which became catalyst for growth and cause indeed for those extremely understandable emotions of regret and self-doubt. We would not take from you the sting of this learning. For it has been helpful and will continue to be helpful in the way of the ore that is flung into the machine which whirls rocks at high velocity in order to crack them and to open up the ore within them. This kind of action is the corrosive and concussive kind of catalyst that truly creates the feelings of the darker side of the palate of colors of emotions that tell the truth about the essence of any biological entity which you may call a soul. This catalyst is that which is as the Beatitudes of this instrument’s Bible. Those sayings, of the one known as Jesus, describe the poor in heart, and those who mourn, as blessed.
Question from R: This evening R would like to hear whatever words of wisdom, or love, or enlightenment that you might have to offer him concerning the journey that he has taken and what would be most appropriate for him now. Q’uo began their reply by saying that they saw the path which R was traveling at this time as one of being alone upon a hill looking out over an endless and empty land, and they saw R as fertile in being able to travel in a trackless desert or the infinite ocean from which all life springs, so they asked if the hill that he was standing on was one of good dreams or of nightmares, of one which he is looking into the past, or of looking into the potential of the infinite possibilities of the present moment moving into the future? Q’uo continued by saying that they were gratified that R chose not to put limitations on the boundaries of their answer, so this gave them more ability to use images, words, and emotions and the opportunity to answer the question that he had asked without violating his free will. Q’uo went on to say that Carla had been discussing the nature of her clients with another counselor, and the other counselor said that the great majority of his counselees experienced feelings of guilt and being unworthy that came from not using the catalyst and experiences of the past and failing to release these old energies that were stuck between the guilt of the past and the fear of the future, and this conversation touched upon Carla’s feelings of unworthiness which decreased her joy in the present moment, so Carla was grateful that these observations made sense to her. Then Q’uo said that the deep experiences of any entity will include many times during which the knight in shining armor errs in intention and loses the of honor that goes with the title of knight, but in the metaphysical realm error is not seen in the same light as within our density since within the metaphysical worlds there may be found in any incarnation those stains of judgment which become catalyst for growth and emotion, so Q’uo said that they would not take from us the sting of this learning because it is catalyst that creates the feelings of the darker side of our emotions that tell the truth about the essence of our soul so that we are like those in the Bible who are poor in heart, and those who mourn as being blessed. On April 11, 1982, Latwii described how we may use catalyst for growth:
Again, we must respond by suggesting that it is not possible to say whether an action such as this is good or not good, but can only be seen as an experience of the Creator in which lessons are being attempted. Within your illusion each entity has his or her own set of biases, of preferences, of their definitions of what is good and what is not good. These are an illusion, as we have said, for there is no good or evil in truth, but these are necessary illusions to provide the catalyst for growth among your peoples. As you meet entities in your daily round of activities such as this entity, you shall view such an entity through the framework of your own preferences and biases. You shall, therefore, interact with this entity in a manner which does then produce a catalyst for experience and growth. You shall see the entity in such and such a manner, and the entity shall see you likewise. This shall produce an interchange and interplay of thoughts, ideas, behaviors, and feelings for both of you and those surrounding you. All of these thoughts and feelings shall either add to the biases which you have, or shall in some way produce the balancing effect, so that that concept which is known to you as judgment is evened or smoothed in its effect and acceptance of the other self. The other self’s behavior and your own self is then aided, for this is the greatest lesson of your illusion, the acceptance of all entities including yourself, the acceptance of all experience, for all is the experience of the one Creator.
We ask you: why are these things a blessing? And we say unto you: as always in the gaining of truth, there is usually within your third-density illusion the necessity for sufficient discomfort to rock the boat of complacency and pride that are the besetting errors of those who strive with every fiber of their being to be honorable, ethical, and spiritually compassionate entities. All other sins, or errors, as this instrument prefers—and so do we—to say, have this characteristic of disappearing beneath the compassion of the awareness that it is impossible not to err while within the third-density state. The releasing of the catalyst, then, has to do with an increasing ability to recognize the value of that which is known to you within this density of yours as the past. Indeed, it is the past only in the sense that your thoughts are those which are formed from that which is in space/time, that which is within this illusion. Consequently, the thoughts themselves deal completely with illusion unless the choice is made firmly and constantly to move the seat of perception from third density to that which is known as fourth density to this instrument; we believe that you are aware of these terms also.
Wewould wish to say, my brother, that in no way have you been deficient. In no way have you stepped away from every challenge. In all things you have attempted your best. And we share with you the fundamental and absolute perception that this is enough. This is what has been. Were it not enough, yet it would be enough. For it is what has brought you as a blooming, gem-like, crystalline entity to this moment, which is full of infinite possibilities. Had you hoped to be closer to your goal at this point, my brother? How do you know how close you are to a given goal? How do you know what the nature of your future may be? Indeed, no one, and we say this absolutely, no one caught within the bounds of space/time can know the future. For although the future has been formed from the standpoint of eternity, it has most decidedly not been formed from the standpoint of third density. Indeed, you at this time, shall we say, are on a time lateral, a sidetrack, not even upon the main track of evolution, as you work to move through this illusion which is so cleverly designed to give you the maximum opportunity to change, to transform, to make new choices, and find new balances within the spiral of ongoing learning, evolution, and service that is the essence of the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator.
You stand upon a hill. You gaze. And where shall you gaze? And what shall be your thoughts? Shall they be those thoughts that measure and judge the self as though there were a score beyond which one would succeed; in lack of which one would fail? My brother, this is decidedly not the case. The score of which this entity is aware in a quantitative sense is the score of 51% service to others by intention, and we hope that you are aware that you are vibrating as service to others at this time by a comfortable margin. There is great purity and sweetness in your desire to serve purely. We ask you to know, for the first time, your nature. To know and begin to have faith in that essence which you have chosen as your essence.
Then Q’uo said that in our gaining of truth, there is usually within our third-density illusion the necessity for discomfort to rock our boat of complacency and pride that are the persistent errors of those who strive with every fiber of their being to be ethical and spiritually compassionate entities, and all other errors have a way of disappearing beneath the awareness that it is impossible not to err while within the third-density state, so the releasing of catalyst has to do with our ability to recognize the value of the past, and it is the past only in the sense that our thoughts are those which are formed in the space/time illusion so that the thoughts deal completely with illusion unless the choice is constantly made to move the seat of perception from third density to that which is known as fourth density. Q’uo asked how was it possible to find those moments when our mind and thoughts become unskillful? They said that this is the nature of the state of mind in which we have stumbled in the way of left foot, right foot, and perhaps not looking up often enough beyond the next step to see “the big picture” and that point of view which does not shift with the passage of 10,000 years and to see our learning and our service in that light. Q’uo went on to say that they did not feel that R had been deficient or had he stepped away from any challenge because in all things he had done his best, and they shared with him the perception that this is enough, and if it were it not enough, yet it would be enough because it has brought him as a crystalline entity to this moment which is full of infinite possibilities, so Q’uo asked him: “Had you hoped to be closer to your goal at this point, my brother? How do you know how close you are to a given goal? How do you know what the nature of your future may be?How do you know what the nature of your future may be? Indeed, no one, and we say this absolutely, no one caught within the bounds of space/time can know the future. For although the future has been formed from the standpoint of eternity, it has most decidedly not been formed from the standpoint of third density.” Q’uo continued by saying that R was on a time lateral, a sidetrack, as he worked to move through this illusion which is designed to give him the maximum opportunity to transform and to find new balances within the spiral of his ongoing evolution and service that is the essence of the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator. Q’uo said that if R was standing upon a hill that he should gaze about him and consider what he was seeing and what his thoughts were about what he saw, and would his thoughts be those of judging himself as a success or as a failure, and then Q’uo said that this was not a failure because the only score of value is that of 51% in service to others, so they said that he was doing this by a comfortable margin as he was serving with great purity, so they said that he should see this as his nature and to have faith in his chosen essence. On January 6, 2001, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the big picture:
And it is this choice of polarity, this choice of how to serve and how to be, that riveted your attention before incarnation. For before incarnation, between incarnations, each of you saw the big picture, spiritually. You saw the plan. You saw the opportunities, and you saw, looking deeply within yourself at what you have learned and what you have chosen so far in this density, how to make an even more polarized choice for Love. It is this context of how to Love, how to open the heart, and how to be upon this Earth in order to increase the Light that has riveted your attention and continues to offer you the challenge of the moment, and it offers us this same challenge. However, we are not upon your sphere. We are not in third-density bodies. We do not have the right to bring Light into planet Earth. Only those who have paid the price of flesh, who have come into the darkness of the illusion of Earth, have the right to open their hearts and ask to become crystals for transducing Light.
Each of you receives an infinite and continuing supply of Love and Light from the one great original Thought, which is the Creator. This infinite supply streams through the energy system of each of you continually. When a seeker becomes aware that she wishes to live so as to increase Love and Light upon planet Earth, she then begins to gaze at how to do that, how to be a more clear channel for the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator.
You have harmed no one. We may say that the attempt to take on another entity’s difficulties in order to free him of them is, to our way of thinking, somewhat distorted. Might we ask in this case if it would not have been more skillful to take on that entity’s perfection and know that it was the truth? By believing that which you saw, and not believing that which you did not see, you were more skillful upon the level of what this instrument would call the akashic plane and less skillful upon the level of what this instrument would call the outer planes. Universally, it is less skillful to choose the near target, of working with the pain, the behavior, and the illusion. Always, knowing the truth of perfection is the more universal and the more truly metaphysical solution to gazing at distress, difficulty, damage, and distortion in general. That which seems utterly dark is also the Light. It has become distorted. As this instrument often says: it has departed the factory specifications. Yet it is still the Light. Like all true vines, it is attached to the one great original Root, the Thought, the Logos that is Love.
We stand with you upon this hill in all times, in all places, in all seasons, those who have heard your call. Nothing can separate us. There are energies, which are yours, which guide, and aid, and give encouragement, and support even to one who is in solitude of being. It is well to lean into this support as you would into an extended family. There are energies of fourth density, fifth density, and sixth density that are connected with you. These extended families are energies and essences of a Light that cannot be subverted. They can be activated by the focus and the surety and confidence of your…
[Pause]
We find that this instrument has no word for the feeling of knowing that someone is ineluctably a part of your family. The more that you can rest in total confidence that this feeling, this support, is there and able to help, the more this shall calm the troubled waters of the inner ocean.
Now Q’uo said if R has erred in the past, as Carla and Jim have, then he is blessed by erring, for now he can begin again as if for the first time except that now he has knowledge since there is a knowing within him that he will remember because it is burned into him by the corrosion of catalyst, and now he has sweetened this catalyst, and it is that energy of forgiveness which Q’uo encouraged him to shed upon this entire concern at this time. Q’uo went on to say that R’s attempt to take on another entity’s catalyst in order to free him of it is somewhat distorted, so Q’uo asked if it would not have been more skillful to take on that entity’s perfection and know that it was the truth because believing that which R saw, and not believing that which he did not see, he was more skillful upon the level of the akashic inner planes and less skillful upon the level of what this instrument would call the outer planes, and universally it is less skillful to choose the near target of the outer planes to work with the pain and the illusion since knowing the truth of perfection is the more metaphysical solution to gazing at distortion in general because that which seems dark is also the Light that has become distorted, and it is attached to the one great original Thought that is Love. Q’uo continued by saying that in a universe where all things are one there can only be Love, so that which R sees in others he may work upon within himself, and by knowing the truth, it is true for him, and it is true for another entity when he sees that the dark side is an illusion which may be charmed with pretty stories and songs. Q’uo said when that choice is R’s again that he should attempt to see in a more balanced and universal way that which he is seeing, and attempt to see into and not at the situation, for this knowing is not an infringement upon anyone, so that R should share his true self which is “the Christ within” because that consciousness that is unconditional and that knows that all entities in absolute equality of essence are one with the Divine. Now Q’uo said that they stand with R upon this hill in all times and places as those who have heard his call, and there are energies which are his and which can guide him, and he should lean into these energies of fourth, fifth, and sixth densities that are connected with him and are energies of a Light that cannot be extinguished because they are part of his family and:
[Pause]
“The more that you can rest in total confidence that this feeling, this support, is there and able to help, the more this shall calm the troubled waters of the inner ocean.” On October 31, 1976, Hatonn spoke of the nature of our true self:
First, each of you who is in this plane of existence has one purpose which is of a primary nature. That purpose is to become aware of your true self and in so doing you begin to vibrate in harmony with that true self; that is, to vibrate within the harmonies of Love. This one vibratory Thought created all that there is, and as you come into harmony with this Thought you become a beacon of Light that lights all those about you. This is your primary service. Whatever else there is for you to do it is best served by you becoming more and more able to be who you truly are. Being is always more important than doing, for one acts from the heart, for one acts very [inaudible].
Again, this is a portion of that which is past and need not concern you at this time, except in that you may forgive yourself unconditionally and release the past, thanking it for the tremendous gifts of instruction which it has given you and turning towards a blessed future with confidence. This attitude will bring about that which it expects. That which an entity thinks and focuses upon is a strong power to alter the course of a very possibility-strewn existence. There are more choices to make than we can express through this instrument. Every instant abounds. Consequently, we simply encourage those who seek the truth simply to be alert, for there is information thick-strewn about the path.
One very simple method of releasing these thought forms is to remember the essence of each distorted thought form, whether by the name of the entity which had it or by some description of the shape of that suffering which you invited in. Write each down and then ritually and with solemnity burn each piece of paper upon which these essences are represented. It need not be complex. Yet if you wish it certainly may be so, and we suggest that the inner self be invited to create the most acceptable and appropriate words and actions for you; ones that express most purely your acceptance of yourself, your acceptance of these thought forms, your invitation for them to depart and your inviting them to do so in the name of that which you hold the highest and dearest of all things, that for which you would live and that for which you would die. Stand upon that which you are, that which you know, that which you believe and have faith in and say, “Goodbye. I thank you. God bless you. Be on your way now. Be gone.”
Q’uo said that they wanted to be sure to speak concerning the state of mind of the turbulent anger which we experience when we wish to meditate deeply, and we may have determined from what Q’uo has said, concerning our practice of aiding those about us, by taking their distortions upon ourself by moving into the astral and becoming an uninvited guest within their distorted worldview, and then Q’uo said we could say that we invited their worldview into our aura, and within our energy body there was one who was not the entity that we attempted to help, but rather a thought form, consisting of our intention and this entity’s distortion so that in affecting what Carla would call a yellow-ray energy exchange with another entity, there was the feeling that free will had been infringed upon, and it is a shadow area when we are attempting to help another by the force of our physical will. Q’uo went on to say that this is in the past and of no concern now, so we may forgive ourself and release the past and thank it for the gift of learning, so we may move forward with confidence which will create that which it expects because that which we focus upon has the power to alter the direction of our possibility-strewn existence, so there are more choices to make than Q’uo could express through Carla so that we should be alert because there is information everywhere. Q’uo completed their thoughts by saying that one method of releasing thought forms is to remember their essence, their name, or the kind of suffering which we attracted to us, and then write each down and then ritually burn each piece of paper upon which these essences are represented, or we could invite our inner self to create the appropriate words that express our acceptance of ourself and our invitation for the thoughtforms to leave in the name of that quality for which we live and would die. On April 7, 1997, Q’uo spoke about the nature of the worldview:
There is a persistent lack of seeing, a continual lack of proof, in the worldview of the seeker, for those who move by reason, deduction and proof there are many things to control, to plan and to order. For the one who has set off upon that sea that is the path of the spiritual seeker these conveniences are forbidden. To offer proof would be to take away from the seeker the opportunity to live by faith alone.
We would suggest to each that there is a constant and marvelous opportunity within incarnation to express to the self the complete lack of knowledge and the complete lack of need for knowledge. If one has no compass, no way to navigate, and no port or any dry land of any kind to look forward to, then ultimately one becomes a citizen of the infinite and the eternal, even while in incarnation. Indeed, for some the experience of first realizing that not only is there no compass, there is no need for a compass—the reaction can be giddy and much laughter can fill the air when the seeker first sees the self in its true state; that is, in the middle of everything, directly upon all that there is. Time and space telescope and disappear for the one who has at last grasped the situation
We would now at this time ask if there be those follow up queries which you may have upon your mind?
[Long pause. No verbalized question.]
We are those of Q’uo, and we are with you, my brother. We are most aware of the lack of what you call ego, and we find your imaging charming. A point we would make as we depart is that there is, for each choice to martyr the self, that choice to use slightly more wisdom and to extend the time within incarnation. This is not meant upon the literal level. It is quite subtle but is the level at which you function at this time. It therefore is at a deeper level than words and we cannot express ourselves directly.
We at this time depart this instrument and this contact with feelings of joy and of gratitude so, so full in our hearts. We leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai vasu borragus.
This morning I arranged the chairs in the living room for the public channeling meditation this afternoon.
This afternoon we had a full house of thirteen attendees and two instruments. We began our session with a round robin sharing of the most important spiritual experiences in recent weeks, and I was very moved by what so many people shared with their open and vulnerable hearts. I shared my experience of grief at the passing of Bosco last Wednesday and learned that a number of other folks had the same experience that was difficult to deal with. The questions from the attendees were focused on some nature of their spiritual path, and Q’uo’s responses were very full of love and suggestions of meditation as the framework of working with catalyst.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
February 8
Seek The True Image Of Love
I am the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I overshadow this instrument with the consciousness of Love.
Just in such a way may we greet each and overshadow each with the Love that is a kind of truing device, so that each spirit which seeks Love may, by asking, receive the comfort of closer and closer knowledge of the true wholeness and unity of creation.
The untrue perceptions which abound within your experience are a matter of gazing upon the streaming array of scenes and experiences about you as if through a vastly distorting carnival mirror. Seek, then, the true image of Love in whatever your gaze falls upon by invoking the Comforter, the pure consciousness of Love.
We leave you in the symmetry and grace of the Love of Jesus Christ and in His peace, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
