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

Question from G: How may I be free of my own self-created prison walls and free of the resulting pain that keeps my energies internal and my heart, that wants to connect, so distant from others? How may I be free to love, to love at will, and free to channel love as universally and unconditionally as did the one known as Jesus?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose name we come to you this evening. We thank you for the great privilege of being allowed to share our thoughts with you at this time. To be called to your group is a great privilege, never more so than at this time, as we feel the purity of desire within this group is most gratifying. We are extremely happy to share our thoughts with each of you with the request, as always, that the utmost care be taken to discriminate between those thoughts which may seem fair for a time and yet may not be, and those thoughts which truly do resonate and do seem to be those personal truths that are meant for this time and this circumstance especially.

There is a tremendous skill within each of you, that listening ear and understanding heart that can discern and can know, in that knowing that is beyond proof, that this is for you, that is not for you. That is that judge whom you must trust more than any other party, for it is a unique thing to be incarnate within this illusion, and it is central to the more subtle reaches of understanding, if we may call it that in this density, that the trust be first within the guidance of the self. Only after that primary judge has been accepted as the true arbiter of that which is true for you personally can you rest and enjoy the interesting opinions and concepts of many others who may indeed have part of the truth that is yours, and may not.

We are delighted to share with you upon the subject of true freedom. It is a much overused and misused word. For what is freedom? In the context of third density, it is an illusion to speak of true freedom, in that the circumstance of incarnation, in and of itself, is that which may seem to be as the prison, through the bars of which one may gaze upon eternity without being able to slip the bars of the cage and enter its untrammeled reaches. And yet that too is an illusion. What is true freedom? To examine this, one must examine what is the nature of the self. What is the nature of the self that is free to love? We ask you to move into a space within your mind in which every stumbling block is removed, all direction is lost, and from which all concept of color, or distance, or size is missing, so that which you are, that infinite spark of the Divine, is able to rest upon the waves of unknowing. These are the underground caves of freedom. These are the dark waters where there is no light, where prayers are true, and the delusions and illusions of color and form have no meaning.

Whathas meaning in these caverns of self that lie beyond limit? Rest and know the strength, the absolute power, the infinity of self. Feel the self that has no need of boundaries, that has no need of bone, or flesh, or the illusory energy fields of form, texture, and color, all of the details so dear to the eye, and the ear, and the senses. This state is as close as we can come with words at this time to describing the Creator that exists without the need for expression. In this state of absolute freedom from form, there are no boundaries, there are no limits, there is no personality, there is no distraction, there is no imperfection, all is truly one, and everything is infinitely possible.

Lift the hand of the mind as if it were reaching for a string of a balloon and tug down to limit, to color, to personality through densities and dimensions, one after the other in a kaleidoscope—down, inward, until you reach the moment before this incarnation, before these details, before these personalities, when you decided, out of all the wisdom you had amassed, out of all the possibilities you could imagine, that this particular planetary sphere, this particular time, these particular relationships and these particular goals of service and learning are the very things out of all of the infinite possibilities available that you would choose at this time for your learning, for your joy, for your evolution. It is this juncture at which you both placed yourself in servitude and opened the doors to a different kind of freedom. For within the trammels of what this instrument would call this Earthly veil, lie the opportunities to love, imperfectly, brokenly, foolishly, again and again feeling the stumbling ways of humanhood, the clumsiness of limitation, the challenges of dwelling in a world where many things seem to be known which do not make sense, and few things are known which make any sense.

The question for this session was: “Question from G: How may I be free of my own self-created prison walls and free of the resulting pain that keeps my energies internal and my heart, that wants to connect, so distant from others? How may I be free to love, to love at will, and free to channel love as universally and unconditionally as did the one known as Jesus?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that there is a skill within each of us that comes from our inner listening ear and the wisdom of our heart that can know beyond any proof what is true for us and what is not true for us, and we must trust these feelings as the guidance of ourself, and then we can enjoy the interesting opinions of others who may or may not have a part of truth that is ours. Q’uo went on to say that they were delighted to share with us the subject of what true freedom is because in the third density true freedom is an illusion because our incarnation is much like a prison, and we can only gaze through its bars upon eternity without being able to get out of the bars of the cage to experience and move into eternity, yet that too is an illusion because to know what true freedom is we must discover the nature of ourself that can love freely, so Q’uo asked us to “move into a space within your mind in which every stumbling block is removed, all direction is lost, and from which all concept of color, or distance, or size is missing, so that which you are, that infinite spark of the Divine, is able to rest upon the waves of unknowing. These are the underground caves of freedom. These are the dark waters where there is no light, where prayers are true, and the delusions and illusions of color and form have no meaning.” Q’uo continued by saying that we can discover what has meaning for us in these caverns within ourself by resting there and knowing the strength, the power, and the infinity of our self that has no need of boundaries, flesh, or the energy fields that are so necessary for our senses, and in this state we are the Creator that exists without the need for the expression of boundaries, personality, or imperfections because all is truly one, and everything is infinitely possible. Then Q’uo said to imagine that the hand of our mind as if it were reaching for the string of a balloon, and then tug down to limit and color our personality through the densities one after the other in a rainbow of colors and then inward until we reach the moment before this incarnation when we decided that this planetary sphere, these relationships, and these goals of service and learning are the very things that we would choose for our learning, joy, and our evolution, and it is at this time when we placed ourself in service and opened the doors to a different kind of freedom, for within the difficulties of this Earthly veil are opportunities to love foolishly again and again and feel the challenges of dwelling in a world where many things seem to be known which do not make sense, and few things are known which make any sense. In 54.24, Ra spoke of the nature of our evolution:

The purpose of incarnative existence is evolution of mind, body, and spirit. In order to do this it is not strictly necessary to have catalyst. However, without catalyst the desire to evolve and the faith in the process do not normally manifest, and thus evolution occurs not.

Therefore, catalyst is programmed, and the program is designed for the mind/body/spirit complex for its unique requirements. Thus it is desirable that a mind/body/spirit complex be aware of and hearken to the voice of its experiential catalyst, gleaning from it that which it incarnated to glean.

A boundary is crossed when an entity chooses to enter incarnation. In some ways it is a boundary from great freedom to infinite limitation. Great vistas of awareness are shut down, closed as if they were slats in a Venetian blind which are simply turned and pulled shut to keep out the Light of true awareness, of unlimited Light, of unlimited knowledge. It is as if the soul coming into incarnation comes in from outdoors and forsakes the illumination of the sun in order to turn on the puny bulbs of 100 watts of artificial light that may or may not be there, depending on whether the power is on, whether the jerry-rigged ways of producing an equivalent light, without the infinite Love being the source of that light, have sway. It is a shock to the system to come into the body, and there is, from the moment of entering the physical vehicle, the necessity to breathe, and to work, and to exist through time as a human being. There is a sense of unutterable loss, and yet it is that which has been chosen. So, gazed at from that simple perspective of choice, the entrance into the morass of limitations and confusion that is the Earth plane is the entrance into true freedom. The entrance into confusion is that pearl beyond price which has been paid for ahead of time by the soul who risks everything in order to learn and to serve.

There is in any incarnation a sense of sacrifice, a sense of loss, and so the question becomes, for what did I take flesh? For what reason was I called to this path? And this is a key question for each entity. What was the motivation? Was it utterly, purely to serve humankind? Was it to serve humankind in a certain way? Was it to serve humankind in a certain way, with certain people? Precisely how was this arrangement created and blessed? May we suggest that an effort of the intellectual mind to organize detail as in an outline and therefore understand, intellectually, the reasons for incarnation is to allow to slip away the opportunity to move beneath the surface of the intellect and beneath the surface of the acculturated, societally vetted, or accepted version of that which the life is and that which the goals of life are. We do not need to express more to you, for we are aware that each within this circle is already aware that those things which the mind can come up with are those things which are not satisfactory as full explanations for the reason for incarnation.

Truly, if you allow the heart to express, the heart itself with every beat, rhythmically, profoundly, simply expresses the truth of incarnation: love, love, love, love, love. The pump that pumps blood through the veins of the physical vehicle moves in waves of love. The second-density body which carries you about has no thought that is not steeped and marinated in love. The second-density vehicle is aware in every cell that it is the Creator, and that it has no need of reasons to exist, or to learn, or to serve, or to suffer, and die. Is it ignorance or is it freedom that allows every cell of your body to give one hundred percent of itself in every moment for its continued existence and no less for the existence of that whole being of which it senses itself to be an integral part. As an entity, one not yet fully in communion with all other entities within its, shall we say, soul group, you have a great lesson to learn from those simple cells of your body, each of which is instinctual and vital with its identity, its every possibility and its readiness to respond to the stimuli that meet it in any given moment, and so does your body, without question, without doubt, respond to that which it perceives. Is it experiencing freedom? Or is it experiencing a mindless, reactionary, slave’s existence?

Let us draw back a step further and gaze at this body that is not you, yet which expresses as a great part of you within the solution. Your body perceives not according to the wisdom of the body alone; rather, the body accepts the information which that entity which you are comes to believe is true. If the entity which is you comes to believe that it cannot feel pain, then it can walk across hot coals or accept the needle in the arm, as has been demonstrated time and again by those who do hypnotism. And each cell of the body is free to ignore as completely unimportant and irrelevant those bodily sensations that otherwise would create great agony. Similarly, that spirit and soul which you are, which is only imperfectly contained within the lantern of the body that holds the candle that is you and the light that is you, is only limited by its perception of its limits. And when that entity that is, at the soul level, the essence of you, is able to rest in peace, in power, within the temple of flesh that has been prepared for it, without strife and without argument, then that which the soul entity perceives is true. And those confusions and difficulties which may seem to be the case upon the outer plane do not have the necessity to impinge upon the inner essence of being that is you.

Then Q’uo said that when we incarnate that we cross a boundary where we move from great freedom to infinite limitation much like our soul comes in from the outdoors and the light of the sun and has to settle on the artificial light of light bulbs that don’t have infinite Love as being the source of their light, so it is a shock to our system to come into our body to breathe, to work, and to exist as a human being with the feeling of loss, but we have chosen this situation so that from that perspective of choice our entrance into the confusion of third density is our entrance into true freedom because it is that pearl of great price which we have paid for when we risk everything in order to learn and to serve. Q’uo went on to say that there is in any incarnation a sense of sacrifice and of loss so that we ask ourselves why we incarnated, if it was to serve others in a certain way, and how was this arrangement created, so Q’uo suggested that our intellectual minds cannot give satisfactory answers to our questions, so we need to move beneath the surface of our intellect and beneath the surface of consensus reality’s version of what our life and our goals are. Q’uo continued by saying that if we allow our heart to express itself it will express the truth of our incarnation as love so that with every beat that it takes it pumps blood through the veins of our body in waves of love because our second-density body is aware in every cell that it is the Creator, and that it has: “no need of reasons to exist, or to learn, or to serve, or to suffer, and die. Is it ignorance or is it freedom that allows every cell of your body to give one hundred percent of itself in every moment for its continued existence and no less for the existence of that whole being of which it senses itself to be an integral part.” Now Q’uo said that as an entity we are not yet fully in contact with all other entities within our soul group, so we have a lesson to learn from the cells of our body each of which is instinctual and ready to respond to the stimuli that meet our body in any given moment, and Q’uo asked if our body is experiencing freedom or the mindless slave’s existence? Q’uo said that that they wanted to look at this body that is not us but which expresses as a great part of us within our incarnation, but it doesn’t perceive  according to its wisdom alone, but our body accepts the information from what we come to believe is true, and if we believe that we cannot feel pain, then we can walk across hot coals and feel no pain as has been demonstrated by hypnotists so that each cell of our body is free to ignore our bodily sensations that otherwise would create great agony. Then Q’uo said that the soul which we are, which is imperfectly contained within the body that holds the light that we are, is only limited by its perception of its limits, and when we are able to rest in peace within the temple of our body that has been prepared for it without strife, then that which our soul perceives is true, and those difficulties which may seem to be the case upon the outer plane do not have the necessity to impinge upon the inner essence of being that we are. On March 23, 2019, Q’uo spoke about the nature of our body:

As each seeker of truth makes itself available to the fourth-density cosmic streamings of Love and understanding that are engulfing your planet at this time, there is a kind of transformation that begins, as you have surmised, within the energetic body so that there is a kind of electrification, you might say, of these cosmic energies that begin to have an effect upon all portions of the mind, body, and spirit complex so that there is the opportunity to raise the level of functioning of the mind, the body, and the spirit in a fashion which is congruent with the instreaming of cosmic energies.

The physical body itself is the last, or shall we say, least, of the portions of the mind/body/spirit complex to be affected as it is a representation of the mind in a more material or mundane form, so that the energies that are first perceived spiritually, and then gravitate to the mind, become available to the body in a more indirect fashion so that the body itself, though having its DNA connections enhanced, is somewhat slower in the expression of these energies in a physical sense.

However, if one is carefully attuned to one’s own body, one may discover that there are certain feelings of the body complex that may be perceived as being an increase in the vibration of the body itself so that the body seems more attuned to the daily round of activities, more able to blend itself in action with the direction of the mind in accomplishing those tasks of a physical nature that are now done more, shall we say, harmoniously, and with a kind of inner rhythm of beingness so that there is a pleasure that is taken emotionally and mentally by the entity as it observes its body being able to move in a more congruent way with the higher vibrations. This type of perception is only available to those who are particularly tuned in, shall we say, to their physical complex. Many entities upon the planet at this time of the third-density nature are somewhat estranged from their body complexes, as the body is often seen as the lesser of the expressions of the One Creator that need, or might benefit from, the attention of the entity to the upkeep of the physical body with the greater portion of attention given to the evolution of the mind and the spirit.

However, we are always glad to suggest to entities that the body complex is that gallant steed which carries you about within the third-density illusion, and this steed needs its care and comfort as well, as the loving expression of the seeker gives that type of attention to its own physical vehicle.

Naturally we are not suggesting that, as an entity becomes spiritually more mature, it may then stop listening to those voices that are around it. We do not for a moment suggest that ignoring those precious other-selves about one is in any way a useful exercise for one wishes to know how one may serve, how one may be served, how one may love, how one may be loved. One does not come into incarnation to avoid catalyst, yet at the same time one does not come into incarnation to become a slave to catalyst. One is neither greater than catalyst, nor less than catalyst, but rather, one is one with the catalyst.

The skill that feeds into the concept of freedom is that skill which is able to see the energies, the thought clusters, and the directions that those thought clusters take in their inferences and their suggestions of further thought. In other words, it accepts all of those thoughts as interesting, useful, beautiful, intriguing, and equal. And all of the thoughts may be enjoyed, appreciated, respected, honored, and followed as one would follow the strengths of a beautiful painting, the motifs of a beautiful piece of music, admiring, appreciating, moving into new places within the mind, within the feelings, because of this catalyst, these works of art that the people around you and their situations offer you in terms of the feeling clusters, the emotional and ethical challenges that are unique to each situation. And as a connoisseur, there is great appreciation in your heart for each offering, whether it may seem to be positive or negative, whether it may seem to be helpful or a hindrance. There is the connoisseur’s appreciation for all the sweet and bitter tastes that make a full palate of experience, and always, whether it is full of light or seemingly full of darkness, there is a feeling of privilege and even thanksgiving that one is able to meet this moment, to have these experiences, to accommodate this utterly unique opportunity, to see the Creator within the endless mystery of appearance.

Why did the Creator choose to make creations? Our comment has often tended to be, “The Creator is attempting to gain in knowledge and appreciation of Itself. The Creator wishes to know Itself. Thusly, it sends forth parts of Itself within illusion to see what will happen and to learn from the colors created in the palate of emotion that you have created through many experiences and incarnations, that contains your beauty and is unique to you, so that you can teach the Creator that which no one else in all of Creation is able to teach. For you are the only one of you in all of the infinite universe; thusly, it is your gift to the Creator, that comes from you, that is greatly desired. You cannot please the Creator by being someone else but only by being most truly and deeply yourself.”

Is that freedom? If so, within incarnation, you are at your most free. You have the chance to make mistakes, to do things wrongly, to become utterly confused, to bomb out, to make mistake after mistake, according to your best light, and yet you do not have the freedom to make the Creator disappointed in you. You have the freedom only to disappoint yourself. But, to the Creator, all that you explore is new and all that you choose is brand new in that moment of choice. How may you be free? My brother, your freedom was never in doubt. It is the life itself, the incarnational illusion that is full of doubt. Is it happening? Is it real? Is it a dream? All of these things are true. It is real. It is happening. It is a dream. It is both valid and illusion, real and imagined, full of power and a vain and empty nothingness. And in these paradoxes, in these impossibilities, in these extravagances that we attempt to place in your mind as being irrational and noumenal, lies a resting place for gathering experience. This is what you have chosen.

And in these paradoxes, in these impossibilities, in these extravagances that we attempt to place in your mind as being irrational and noumenal, lies a resting place for gathering experience. This is what you have chosen.

So perhaps freedom lies in having the most utter faith which is possible for you in the moment. Faith in what? Faith in the self, as limited as that self may seem. Faith in the energies that delivered you to this present moment, as peculiar, odd, and unlikely as they must seem. You are indeed, most free to love at will. The life experience may be seen, in one way, to be that environment in which the will itself, that is, that energy of the soul piercing through the illusion of mass, and time, and space, chooses its light, focuses its love, and opens the door to the great mystery that lies within, that mystery that is love, that is loving, and that is loved.

Now Q’uo said that they were not suggesting that, as we become more spiritually mature, that ignoring the voices of the other selves that are around us is helpful if we wish to know how we may be of service; how we may be served; how we may love; or how we may be loved, and we do not come into incarnation to avoid catalyst, yet we do not come into incarnation to become a slave to catalyst because we are one with our catalyst. Q’uo went on to say that the skill that feeds into the concept of freedom is that skill which accepts all of those thoughts as interesting and equal, and all of the thoughts may be enjoyed as one would follow the strengths of a beautiful painting and move into new places within our mind, and because of this catalyst, these works of art that the people around us offer us in terms of the emotional and ethical challenges are unique to each situation, and there is great appreciation in our heart for each offering, whether it may seem to be positive or negative, helpful or a hindrance because: “there is the connoisseur’s appreciation for all the sweet and bitter tastes that make a full palate of experience, and always, whether it is full of light or seemingly full of darkness, there is a feeling of privilege and even thanksgiving that one is able to meet this moment, to have these experiences, to accommodate this utterly unique opportunity, to see the Creator within the endless mystery of appearance.” Q’uo continued by saying that the Creator chose to make creations because the Creator wished to know Itself, so It sends forth parts of Itself within the illusion to learn from the colors created in the palate of emotion that we have created through many incarnations that contains beauty that is unique to us so that we can teach the Creator that which no one else in all of Creation is able to teach because we are unique in all of the infinite universe, so it is our gift to the Creator to be most truly and deeply ourself. Now Q’uo said that within our incarnation we are free to become confused and to make mistakes, but we do not have the freedom to make the Creator disappointed in us; we only have the freedom to disappoint ourself, and our true freedom is our life itself, the incarnational illusion that is full of doubt as to whether what is happening is real or a dream, and both cases are true, and in this paradox there is a resting place for the gathering of experience, and this is what we have chosen. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that freedom lies in having faith in ourself, faith in the energies that delivered us to this present moment, and the freedom to love at will so that our life experience may be seen to be that environment in which our will that is that energy of our soul that pierces through the illusion of mass, and time, and space, chooses its light, focuses its love, and opens the door to the great mystery that lies within, that mystery that is love, that is loving, and that is loved. On February 5, 1995, Q’uo described the great mystery that is within us:

This is the great mystery of creation. We worship with you this mystery, my brother, and can only shed a limited amount of light upon this topic, for the Creator which has set all energy into motion and has pleased Itself by giving fields of energy which are called entities free will to choose the manner of their being and the way in which they express this being as a manifestation of that being.

We thank the one known as G for this query, and we transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, realizing full well that we have only begun to utter the first sentence, in the first paragraph, of that which we could say concerning this most deep question. Yet the time wanes, the energy wanes, and it is time for us to open the meeting to those questions which the one known as G may continue to have upon his mind. And so, we will leave this instrument, thanking it for its service, transferring this contact to the one known as Jim. We leave this instrument in love and in light. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

(Jim channeling)

I am Q’uo, and greet each again in love and in light from this instrument. We would ask the one known as G if he has another query to which we may respond.

G: I certainly do. Thank you Ra, Hatonn, and Latwii for being such loving guides to me during my own journey. My first question is: can you tell me what the splintering agent is that you mentioned in my last reading and what I can do to heal myself of its effects. Is there anything I can do to heal myself of its effects besides engaging in daily meditation so that I may become whole again, restoring the vision and restoring the sight?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. The splintering effect of which we spoke at our previous meeting is a point of view, shall we say, an attitude, which you have adopted or had adopted for yourself in your past. We find that your current experience is one which has caused you to change much of that point of view. There has been much healing of your fractured viewpoint concerning various aspects of yourself and how you would be able to accept these aspects in your daily round of activities. Thus, our recommendation remains that which it was then: to meditate and to consider carefully your point of view as regards the self and the self’s interactions with others.

Is there another query, my brother?

G: Am I by any chance an indigo child or a wanderer of the type with the dual-activated body, or both?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would go to the limits of our ability to respond without infringing upon your free will by suggesting that your nature, at its core, is more attuned with the status of one who seeks to serve as a wanderer to distant areas of consciousness. Thus, you are one who has journeyed to a distant point of your own thinking, which is now symbolized by this planetary sphere.

Is there another query my brother?

G: What is the nature of the deep fatigue that comes and goes, and what can I do to increase my energy levels?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query my brother. The…

[Side one of tape ends.]

I am Q’uo, and am again with this instrument. We shall continue. The fatigue of which you have spoken is a product of the rapid change that has become a part of your daily round of activities, as you have been much involved in the realigning of the physical attributes of this dwelling place. There is a deeper type of change that is symbolized by the rearranging of the physical objects that also is occurring within you at this time. This is the, shall we say, quality of bearing a burden that you have felt as a result of responsibilities, of familial ties. There is the enculturation process that is natural to all third-density beings upon this planet that has, for you, culminated recently in a choice to follow your own lights, shall we say. This choice to move as an independent creature has brought the feeling of a responsibility for your own movement, so that you place a kind of pressure or burden upon your metaphysical shoulders.

This is a somewhat roundabout way of looking at your opportunities for growth. However, we find that each seeker has its own way of approaching the journey that beckons. It is a matter of what is more efficient for you. As you continue upon this journey you will find an ease to your movement which is not now present in its fullest degree, shall we say. As you move more and more freely upon the journey of the change of self that continues until one sees there is a self that does not change, then you shall feel more of this weight removed from your shoulders and your being. It is again a matter of being able to accept yourself and your opportunities for growth.

Is there a further query my brother?

G: Thank you, Q’uo. I have a cluster here. Are my twin soul and I adhering to the pre-incarnatively chosen plan that we had set before us for the course of our earthly relationship? Is there anything more I can do to help her to free herself from her own confusion? And is there a higher road of service that I might walk, higher than the one I currently walk now?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your queries and the concern which generates these avenues of inquiry. We feel that you are well aware that there are no mistakes in any seeker’s journey. There are, however, expectations. Oftentimes, it is more efficient for the seeker to remove expectations and to be able to accept that which occurs as that which is appropriate. However, we are aware that catalyst does not usually work as easily as this simplistic description within your illusion. There is oftentimes much angst between the desire to serve and the actual service as perceived by the self.

The path which you and the entity which you call your twin soul have chosen is indeed appropriate for your own movement into service at this time. We are aware that each would, in what each would call an ideal world, wish to serve in another fashion, one which was more proximate, shall we say, each to the other, in more obvious service and types of learning. Again, there is the matter of allowing catalyst for growth to occur truly. There is, shall we say, a weight or a resistance against which each moves or pushes so that there is an exercising of the spiritual muscles or ability to conceptualize that which is yours to seek and to serve, to give and to receive. There is always a means by which one may serve more efficiently. That is another way of saying there is always growth potential available. It is well to refrain from taking one’s spiritual temperature, judging oneself, attempting to evaluate just exactly where and how one moves upon the path of service to others.

Again, we return to that lighthearted feeling which the childlike nature of the true self demonstrates without effort. This childlike nature has taken on an earthly form, with various abilities to express, various difficulties in expressing. Thus, though there are goals towards which each moves, there is the movement, the perception of the movement, and so on, which when examined without too much dedication to an outcome, can give one a hint, a direction, a possibility. But when focused upon too intensively shall we say, when obsessed about, they may become a stumbling block upon the journey. Thus, do strengths become weaknesses and weaknesses strengths.

Is there another query my brother?

G: Marvelous answer, Q’uo. I have seen enough 1:10’s, 11:10’s, 12:13’s to know that a message is being communicated to me. Can you provide me any sort of insight as to what is trying to be conveyed to me with these one-minute-off “synchronicities”?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. And though this query upon its surface appearance seems to be one steeped in innocence, it is with this query that we must be most careful that we do not infringe upon your free will. Thus, we have only a suggestion that you look at the symbolic nature of the numbers involved and how this symbolism resonates to a certain point of view that you hold towards seeking and serving, of being of service, and of how this is offered.

Is there a further query my brother?

G: Thank you Q’uo. Why do I feel like there are holes, that is, missing pieces of identity and memory in my soul?

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. This sensation which you describe as “holes” within the soul of one’s being is a most interesting and perhaps literal way of looking at those portions of the self towards which one moves in the spiritual sense. To regain one’s identity is to fit together many pieces of a great puzzle of many dimensions. When one has a lack of understanding of any portion of this puzzle, there is a hole, shall we say, a gap, a place or way of being that is yet to be discovered. This is the nature of the journey for each seeker of truth—to find the trail of pieces to this puzzle and follow till one is whole, till one is unified, till one feels the unity of self with all other beings. This is a grand journey upon which you travel. Follow that feeling of the hole within until you find that which plugs or fills the hole.

Is there another query my brother?

G: Thank you, Q’uo. Another cluster. Somewhere along the way it seems my memory has been impaired somewhat ,and I was wondering if you could tell me how that happened? Was it injury done to myself by myself? Or the process of ascension? And, how might I be able to regain it enough so that I can again learn and absorb and synthesize new information?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother.

When there has been a forgetting of that which has occurred within the conscious memory, it is either because there was little value to the self in retaining this experience or because there was some difficulty in accepting the experience, so that there was instead of acceptance, rejection. These experiences are critical portions of one’s formative years, shall we say. To explore the primary cause of such rejection, it is often necessary to look within the dream state or the deep meditation, which may uncover these types of traumatic learnings. Thus, we suggest that you take what you can of the current memory, the place where the memory stops, and attempt within your dream state or within your meditative state to take the next step in experience, to open the self to receiving that clue or quality of feeling that will begin to reveal to you that which you have hidden from yourself.

Is there a further query, my brother?

G: Q’uo, you rock. Give me one second, Q’uo.

Carla: Could I ask a question while he is gathering his wits, Q’uo?

I am Q’uo. We would welcome your query, my sister.

Carla: On the question about weariness and food intake and so forth, I’ve been going from the assumption that it might be substances or it might be the quality of love in the food, and so I have focused more on putting love into the food than in being really sensitive about certain substances. Could you make any suggestions as to whether this is a basically good way to value and also if there are substances to which this particular soul either has need for or needs not to have? Is there a possibility that you could share those with me?

I am Q’uo, and aware of your query, my sister. We find that the menu is heavily laden toward the quality of love, which is most nutritious to each seeking soul. We are also aware that the one known as G has a quite clear understanding of his own dietary needs. Perhaps there could be the inclusion of more substances which this entity prefers. However, that which has been prepared is prepared with care, concern, love, and great affection. Thus, we cavil not at the diet and applaud each in his and her approach to the intake of foodstuffs.

Carla: Thank you.

Is there another query at this time?

G: Thank you, Carla, for the very considerate question. Q’uo, can you tell me how I reacted to this world as a child? I ask you because I don’t recall much of my childhood.

I am Q’uo, and aware of your query, my brother. We examine the life pattern of the one known as G, seeing the innocence of the newborn babe carried through into the childhood, so that there was a freshness of learning that was both comforting to the one known as G and somewhat disturbing to those who were the parents, for there was more ability in abstruse areas of comprehension than was expected. Therefore, there has been a loss of innocence and of the ability to grasp new experiences easily and quickly. This is a portion of that filling in of the hole aspect of which we spoke earlier as well as the beginning exploration of the traumatic learning of which we spoke earlier as well. There has continued to be a great thirst for knowledge and for being of service which both were present from the earliest of ages. This is the sum of that which we feel we may offer without infringement.

Is there a final query at this time?

G: That answer is such a gift, thank you, Q’uo. Am I any closer to the course of dessert? Have I moved on, or am I still on my main course? Or am I almost done?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that you are well along the consuming of the main course, which we suggest will be a somewhat lengthy meal within this illusion! From time to time you may find a taste or two of dessert. However, we suggest that prepare yourself for a great feast.

It has been our great privilege to be able to speak to your concerns this evening for we feel that you have a great desire for seeking and serving which needs but little guidance to find its fullest flower within the present environment.

We are those known to you as those of Q’uo. We would take our leave of this instrument of this group at this time. We thank each for inviting our presence this evening. It is a great honor to join you in this circle of seeking. Adonai my friends. Adonai.

This morning I went to my PCP and gave blood and urine samples for my yearly fasting labs.

This afternoon I made an errand run with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought more bird seed for myself and for my neighbor across the street. My second stop was at PNC Bank where I made a cash withdrawal. My third stop was at Walgreens’ Drug Store where I bought a birthday card.

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

February 11

Blaze A Trail Of Love

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

This day lies before you, a verdant pasture, a flowering field. Though pathways there are through the wildwood and meadow, yet you may choose your own way and be the first to beat a new trail if those that lie before you do not lead whither you would wish.

There is always more possibility in a situation viewed from the standpoint of Love than in a situation viewed from the condition of humankind. Look up at the golden sun that lights the morning pasture of your day and realize that its perfection lies with you and your perfection with it.

The Spirit enlivens, enhances, and offers each choice that shall be deemed good and necessary by you. May you walk without fear but with the comfort of our companionship into the creative and exciting land wherein each footstep blazes a trail of Love.

The peace of Jesus the Christ I leave with you, now and always. 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.
