I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 19, 2003:
The question today has to do with fear and love. We are assuming that fear and love are on a spectrum of… there’s a connection between them and we would like Q’uo to give us some information about how we can deal with fear, any kind of fear. Fear of doing something we haven’t done, the fear of doing something that seems difficult. V mentioned that focusing on the love aspect tended to make the fear dissipate. Is that correct? Is there anything else we can do to deal with the fear when we feel that it’s taking too much influence in our lives?
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come. We wish to thank each of you for creating this time and space to seek the truth. We are humbled before your energy, your beauty, and the focus of your desire. We are most grateful that you have called us to your circle of seeking. Please know we are happy to share our opinion with you, with the request that at all times you listen with great discrimination, accepting those truths that sound good to you for further consideration and banishing all those that do not sound good to you from your mind. This will allow us to speak freely, knowing that you do not see us as authorities, but rather as those having a certain kind of conversation: a conversation about ideas and about those concepts that move too deep to be expressed directly in words, those concepts of which the one known as D was speaking earlier, the various archetypes, whether they be four or twelve or twenty-two, that in some way or another give one another structure or ways to think about the Creator and one’s relationship to the Creator.
There are two questions posed within the energy of this instrument’s mind, although we have only the one on the tape recording which was done prior to our speaking, and we find it interesting that although these two subjects seem to be so far apart in nature, they benefit from being looked at together. The two subjects, being that of fear versus love and what the nature of various kinds of nature spirits is, would seem on the face of it to have little or nothing in common. And yet, indeed there is a great essence which they share.
The great jihad of the struggle of love and fear is that rock upon which many have shipwrecked their lives, their spiritual ambitions, and their hopes of progressing according to some self-made, or authority-driven plan. Energy gets stuck. Energy that has been bruised and stricken defends itself. Everything that can be imagined has energy if it is imagined. This is not to say that when we are speaking of nature spirits we are speaking of imaginary beings, for we are not. Rather, they are imaginary in the same way that you are imaginary. You are illusory in a certain order, or grade, of illusion. You vibrate in a certain series of energy fields or spheres, which have their own order and their own purpose. And they communicate with each other throughout that grade or gamut of energy vibration. Consequently, all physical bodies are communicating.
The same is true of the first-density entities and the second-density entities among your peoples. These too, birds, animals, trees, and plants of each kind, have their own nature, their own essence, their own energy. And insofar as they are given life, there exists within them a corresponding spirit to your spirit. Is the spirit of a flower, or a tree, or a stone or the wind, the same thing as your spirit? Not at all. In the case of the elementals of first-density, there is a tremendous amount of infinite wisdom in such strong and powerful purity that there is an essence that is indescribable to entities as transparent and ephemeral as living flesh. That energy of fire, the energy of wind, the energy of earth, the energy of water, is that of the everlasting element, not simply in its physical characteristics but in the corresponding spirit of those characteristics. You have only to sit at the edge of a great body of water to begin to know or become acquainted with the essence of water. You have only to stand in the high wind or to bow beneath it and, indeed, crawl on hand and knee to shelter against such a wind to understand the kind of energy that the wind offers. And the same can be seen of the energies of fire, and of earth.
This group has spent a couple of days exploring caves recently and has a special reason to become more and more aware of the power of the everlasting rock-ness. Many are the spirits that can be seen from these elements. They are seen by an eye that is not physical because their energy is that of the metaphysical energy that occupies time/space. Consequently, it has no body in space/time but only the impression, or the shadow, of the truth of such an entity. It is as though you were attempting to prove that you had ideas, ideals, hopes and dreams. Can you show them to someone? No. Do you still have them? Oh yes. In just this way, the mountain, the ocean, or the wind has the expression, the thoughts, the hopes, the ideals, the process of its nature, and because it has no hampering of self-awareness, it never moves from love. It remains blissful in its ignorance of any other choice and simply expresses its essence in a dynamic combination with those energy fields of time/space and of space/time that it may meet. Consequently, as you walk in nature or down the urban sidewalk, you are coming in contact with the sprites of the air, and the undines of water and the salamanders of fire and the gnomes of earth, all unknowing because you cannot see them with the eyes of daylight. There are always special people who can see into inner planes, for weal or for woe.
Now let us say here that in discussing the inner planes, we discuss a universe vaster than the physical universe and greatly populated with a very wide gamut of personalities. The most tremendous wisdom, compassion, and mastery lives within the inner planes. We ourselves dwell in, shall we say, a parking garage in fifth density, as it were, as we are involving ourselves with your vibrations at this time. We are part of that network of inner planes that includes all of the spirits that seek to serve. Those within first and second density, those within fourth, fifth and sixth density; all seek to serve by their very nature. It is impossible for them not to be prompted to share energy and therefore to serve.
The group question today was: “V mentioned that focusing on the love aspect tended to make the fear dissipate. Is that correct? Is there anything else we can do to deal with the fear when we feel that it’s taking too much influence in our lives?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the great battle between love and fear is that rock upon which many of us have shipwrecked our spiritual ambitions and hopes of progressing according to our plan or one made by others because our energy gets stuck, and it defends itself so that everything that we can imagine has energy if we imagine it, and this energy is that of nature spirits which are not imaginary beings any more than we are imaginary, for we also are illusory in that we vibrate in a certain series of energy fields which have their own purpose, and the nature spirits communicate with each other throughout that grade of energy vibration, so all physical bodies are communicating. Q’uo went on to say that the same is true of the first-density entities and the second-density entities among our people because birds, animals, trees, and plants have their own energy, and as they are given life, there exists within them a corresponding spirit to our spirit although it is not the same as our spirit so that in the case of the elementals of first-density there is infinite wisdom in such purity that there is an essence that is indescribable to us as transparent living flesh, and that energy of fire, wind, earth, and water is that of the elements, not simply in their physical characteristics but in the corresponding spirit of those characteristics so that we only have to sit at the edge of a great body of water to begin to know about the essence of water, and we only have to stand in the high wind to shelter against such a wind to understand the kind of energy that the wind offers, and the same can be seen of the energies of fire, and of earth. Q’uo continued by saying that our group has spent a couple of days exploring caves recently and has a special reason to become more and more aware of the power of the everlasting rock-ness that contains many spirits that we can see within these elements so that they are seen by our eye that is not physical because their energy is metaphysical energy that exists in time/space, so it has no body in space/time but only the impression of the truth of such an entity, and it is as though we were attempting to prove that we had hopes and dreams that cannot be seen so that in this same way the mountain, the ocean, or the wind has the expression of their thoughts, hopes, and the process of their nature, and because they have no limiting of self-awareness, they never move from love. Then Q’uo said that they remain blissful in their ignorance of any other choice and simply express their essence in combination with those energy fields of time/space and of space/time that they may meet, so as we walk in nature or down the urban sidewalk, we are coming in contact with the sprites of the air, the undines of water, the salamanders of fire, and the gnomes of earth which we cannot see with our physical eyes, but there are those with special abilities who can see into the inner planes for good or for bad. Then Q’uo said that in discussing the inner planes they are discussing a universe larger than the physical universe which contains a wide variety of personalities, wisdom, compassion, and mastery which lives within the inner planes so that Q’uo dwells in a parking garage in fifth density they are involving themselves with our group’s vibrations at this time, and they are part of that network of inner planes that includes all of the spirits that seek to serve: “Those within first and second density, those within fourth, fifth and sixth density; all seek to serve by their very nature. It is impossible for them not to be prompted to share energy and therefore to serve.” On December 16, 1979, Hatonn described the nature of the inner planes:
The inner plane theory of your people is very old. It is as old as the pyramids, and it was a gift to your people by the Confederation from many, many thousands of years ago. The pyramids themselves were used in penetrating into the inner planes of existence. A very simple analogy which this instrument has frequently used is that of the television set. You have at this moment, within your domicile, a television set although it is potentially able to show you a world it is not doing so now because it has not been activated. This instrument or anyone in the room might activate it, and they might choose a channel of existence of which they enjoy the view. They will see one world on one channel, another world on the next, and so on, each channel seemingly coming from the same television set, but each world becoming completely different and completely oblivious to all the other worlds.
So, it is with the inner planes. You and all of those things in your world are energy fields, and you have energies, and certain vibrations we call those vibrations that belong to the third octave of existence. There are also other octaves of existence within your octave of existence. There are seven levels, and some of these levels are not visible, just as one channel would not be visible to another. The skill and art of penetrating into the inner planes is a hidden art. It is hidden for a reason. Each of you is here to learn the lessons of love, and as you penetrate into the inner planes, the lessons of love become very obvious, and thus your existence here becomes quite changed.
Thus, except for those occasional virtuosos, shall we say, who penetrate into the inner planes without conscious effort, for the most part they are closed to people upon your plane of existence. The method for achieving entrance into higher or, shall we say, denser, more Light, more beautiful realms of existence is a mixture of certain disciplines of the person’s visualization, applied study, meditation, and a constant will to know the truth in order to serve others. If you have this desire, you will find people who will help you in your search. For us to give you this information is not necessary for the instrument has within her library volumes which deal with this subject which are available for you to read.
Those elementals of second density are far more complex and far less solid in their nature, as would be expected from beings which are, like yourselves, those who live and die fairly quickly. However, the subtlety of second density, with its movement to the light and its relationships within the tribe or pack, create a far more exotic and far more whimsical panoply of figures and of stories in which those figures have found each other and have joined worlds. And so, creation becomes added to creation becomes added to creation, and, in the inner planes, there are many exotic kingdoms which have been created so that the essences of all of these energies, in the relationships with various humans and their cultures, can play. There is a tremendous joy and a feeling of play about the free essences of plants, animals, wind, storm, ocean, and so forth. When an entity becomes self-aware in third density, she becomes cut off from the joy, the play, and the ever-continuing presence of all of the other members of the inner plane.
Each of the sub-planes of those inner planes has its own environment. Those who are able to sift through the planes have that experience, that feeling, of almost going through different grades of water as they move through the sub-planes to that precise vibration of energies that is equivalent to their most comfortable place within the inner planes. Entities who are able to do this come into a land of milk and honey to which they may go in their meditations. Each of you has one, and each of you has, in that vibration, helpers, those whose delight it is to find a way to make that experience which you—that individual soul, that very unique soul—will have to be joyful, playful, and as the one known as J was saying earlier, a product completely of the spontaneity of the now. The energies that lie all about third-density humans as they earnestly struggle with their catalyst are energies that encourage the deepest response to the feeling which lies in the environment about the self.
Coming to a moment is coming to a banquet. How shall you enjoy the rich array of incoming experience? Shall it be a thing of love and joy and laughter, or shall it be a thing of fear and defending? Each of you is painfully aware that you are not a flower; you are not the wind; you have not been a tree for years and years. And as a person you have been cast forth into an illusion which is bound to hurt, and disturb, and upset any shred of routine and surety that you may have, for all things pass and the experience of the third-density entity within the illusion is that infinitely renewable feeling of being behind the power curve, unaware of those things which it would have been good to know in order to plan for this change that seems somehow to be taking place. The one known as John wrote in a song, “Life is what happens to you while you’re making other plans.” This is the cartoon-like nature of the catalyst that is available within your third-density world. It is always aimed at moving you from a balanced and comfortable place into a place where there is a risk to take, a challenge to meet, a cliff to walk off of, so that you may have the experience of choice. That is the one thing that is your glory and your challenge. You have the responsibility that is God-like: of choosing how you shall go on, how you shall think, how you shall meet the day, how you shall treat yourself if you’re not happy with how you met the day, and how you shall treat those other-selves that are a part of you. Shall you see them as other? Or shall you see them as the self?
There is a great journey to be taken in that regard, for third density begins as the great ape that you are is barely beginning to move into the traditional, cultural societies, forming tribes, forming instinctively those tribes that describe self and other as the tribe and not the tribe. That great sadness that we see within your political and societal planning these days is that seeming return to late second-density where there is tribe versus tribe with no hope of communication and parity becoming possible between them. Consequently, each entity moving through the various sub-levels of third-density is attempting, more and more, to move from the uneducated idea of self, as only self and other-self that looks just like you because it is the same tribe, to self being the same as other-self, because self and other-self are both ensouled parts of the same Creator.
The education between those two points is vast, immense, and unimaginable. Each of you has spent lifetime upon lifetime attempting, with a pure heart and a good will, to penetrate the mystery of oneness. In a world where nothing looks like it is one with you, how can you catch on to what is not being seen? How can you hear what is not being said, what cannot be said, for there are no words? The secret is energy, that energy about which the one known as J will speak, sharing her passion for the beautiful simplicity of the healing touch, and not even the healing touch, but the energy of the healing heart. Indeed, it is that environment that is beyond words that moves into that walk of faith that exists only in midair. For in that particular discipline, as in so many disciplines that go under the modality of the laying on of hands, the true healing is not in a touch, but rather, in the love that that energy of the touch carries, because of the work that that particular instrument has done as a messenger of healing.
Then Quo said that the nature of elementals of second density is more complex and less solid as would be expected of beings who live and die fairly quickly, but the subtlety of second density, with its movement to the light and its relationships within the pack, creates a far more exotic collection stories in which those figures have found each other and have joined worlds so that creation becomes added to creation, and in the inner planes, there are many kingdoms which have been created so that the essences of all of these energies, in the relationships with various humans and their cultures, can play, and there is a joy and a feeling of play about the essences of plants, animals, wind, and storm, so when an entity becomes self-aware in third density, she is cut off from the joy, the play, and the presence of all of the other members of the inner plane. Q’uo continued by saying that the sub-planes of the inner planes have their own environment, so if we can sift through the planes we will have that feeling of going through different grades of water as we move through the sub-planes to those energies that are equivalent to our most comfortable place within the inner planes, and then we come into a land of milk and honey where we may go in our meditations, so each us has one, and each of us has helpers whose delight it is to find a way to make that experience which we will be joyful and a product of the spontaneity of the now, and the energies that lie all about us as we struggle with our catalyst are energies that encourage the deepest response to the feeling which lies in the environment about ourself. Q’uo went on to say that coming to a moment is like coming to a banquet, and we wonder how we shall enjoy the rich incoming experience, whether it is full of love and joy, or shall it be a thing of fear and defending? Q’uo said that each of us is aware that we are not a flower, or the wind, and we have not been a tree for many years, and as a person we have been born into an illusion which is bound to disturb any kind routine and surety that we may have, for all things pass, and our experience within the illusion is that continuing feeling of being behind the power curve and unaware of those things which it would have been good to know in order to plan for this catalyst of change that is available within our third-density world and is always aimed at moving us from a comfortable place into a place where there is a challenge to meet, so that we may have the experience of choice that is our glory and our challenge so that we have the responsibility that is God-like: “of choosing how you shall go on, how you shall think, how you shall meet the day, how you shall treat yourself if you’re not happy with how you met the day, and how you shall treat those other-selves that are a part of you. Shall you see them as other? Or shall you see them as the self?” Then Q’uo said that there is a great journey to be taken in determining how we shall see others because third density begins as our great ape nature is just beginning to move into the cultural societies and instinctively forming tribes that describe us as part of our tribe and others as not part of our tribe, and Q’uo said that they saw great sadness within our political and social planning that seemed to be returning to the late second-density where it is tribe against tribe with no hope of communication and equality becoming possible between them so that each of us that is moving through the sub-levels of third-density is attempting to: “move from the uneducated idea of self, as only self and other-self that looks just like you because it is the same tribe, to self being the same as other-self, because self and other-self are both ensouled parts of the same Creator.” Now Q’uo said that the education between those two points is vast and unimaginable, and each of us has spent lifetimes attempting, with a pure heart and a good will, to penetrate the mystery of oneness so that in a world where nothing looks like it is one with us: “How can you catch on to what is not being seen? How can you hear what is not being said, what cannot be said, for there are no words?” Then Q’uo said the secret is energy, that energy of the healing touch, the energy of the healing heart, and it is that environment that is beyond words that moves into that walk of faith that exists only in midair because in that particular discipline the true healing is in the love that that energy of the touch carries, because of the work that the healer has done as a messenger of healing. In 17.18, Ra described the nature of true healing:
Those who heal may be of any density which has the consciousness of the spirit. This includes third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh. The third density can be one in which healing takes place just as the others. However, there is more illusory material to understand, to balance, to accept, and to move forward from.
The gate to intelligent infinity can only be opened when an understanding of the instreamings of intelligent energy are opened unto the healer. These are the so-called Natural Laws of your local space/time continuum and its web of electromagnetic sources, or nexi, of instreaming energy.
Know then, first, the mind and the body. Then as the spirit is integrated and synthesized, those are harmonized into a mind/body/spirit complex which can move among the dimensions and which can open the gateway to intelligent infinity, thus healing self by light and sharing that light with others.
True healing is simply the radiance of the self causing an environment in which a catalyst may occur which initiates the recognition of self, by self, of the self-healing properties of the self.
When you can, for the first time, move from an intellectual appreciation of the oneness in all to a feeling within your own heart that as you are looking at the Creator as the Creator, there is a magical occurrence that reduces fear. That magical occurrence is love, a feeling of love that springs forth like a fire. In the glow of that fire there is communication from essence to essence, and the hearts of those that you are speaking to know that you love them. And there is that within their being that again opens, and then they love you back. And the supportive energy of that relationship, once begun by the open heart, is irresistible. Trust the energy that is yourself. We do not say, “Put aside all fear.” We would not do that to entities that might feel undefended, and naked, and vulnerable beyond their ability to enjoy creation and existence. We are aware that for some it is powerful even to take part of the armor away, to lighten it, to shorten it, to leave it off for small periods of time. Have the feeling when working with fear of “a little is a lot,” because it is so difficult to judge the self, and it is so seldom accurate when attempted that we would suggest, rather, focusing simply upon the process, upon giving it a good try and upon being extraordinarily good to yourself no matter what the perceived outcome.
What you are attempting to do as you filter the experiences of your life through the processes of the disciplining of the personality is to become easier and easier with yourself, and easier on yourself, while at the same time, remaining honest concerning your process; that is to say, it is well to be ruthlessly honest with yourself and with the Creator, in your continuing conversation with the Creator, but it is not a good idea, no matter what your basic feelings of irritation may be at the self, to berate the self, or to lose respect for the self, or to act in such a way that there is the expression to the self of dissatisfaction, of feeling that the self is unworthy. These things are all too easy to promulgate within the inner life. They are those stumbling blocks that trip up your feet and keep you from moving forward. They have been put there by voices not your own, but in many cases, you have accepted them, internalized them, and made them live far past their time of truth, if there ever was a time of truth for some of those deeply painful childhood insults. See the pain and the suffering that has been endured by you, that has caused fear to become a habit returned to again and again. See with eyes of love and compassion.
This instrument carries a doll frequently when it is at home. It talks to the doll, and it asks the doll to tell her its dreams. It is in this way that this particular entity seeks to undo damage done to her as a child by those who did not make her feel wanted, needed or listened to. There are ways to work on these difficulties that can be perceived as perhaps being the foundation for those fears that now trouble the seemingly grown and adult life. It is most helpful to open heart and mind together to the processes of seeing where these threads of fear take you. They are the breadcrumbs along the trail that will lead you to a deeper appreciation of self and a deeper ability to interpolate and amalgamate the self of all of those perhaps slightly separated parts of self that have moved away from other parts of self because of wounding, because of difficulty in holding the energy of self completely together.
Now Q’uo said the energy of others can be a real thing, and we can affect the energy of others by mechanically thinking to ourself when we look at someone else: “This too is me. This is my brother, and I love him,” or alternately, “Thou art God.” Or alternately, as this instrument often says, “You are my mirror.” because we are also a mirror, but what we forget, since we are sitting within our own space, that each within this circle is powerful and has done a good deal of work, no matter what their biological age, and each of us has a powerful metaphysical essence so as we allow that feeling of ourself to open up and be ourself, and as we listen to each energy and “feel into” the energy of those who are speaking in superficial tones about the room, we can begin to make those heart connections with each mirror as a part of ourself; and thanking each part of ourself; and knowing that if we were to pursue that relationship it would be a valuable mirror that we could not get from anyone else; so that each person becomes a valuable supply of undiscovered things because we have not spent the time to open up to that person and to share what the energy has to offer each of us in that dynamic between us. Q’uo continued by saying that when we can move to a feeling within our own heart that as we are looking at the Creator, as the Creator, there is a magical occurrence that reduces fear, and that magical occurrence is a feeling of love that springs forth like a fire, and in the glow of that fire there is communication from essence to essence, and the hearts of those that we are speaking to know that we love them, so there is that within their being that opens, and they love us back so that the supportive energy of that relationship, once begun by our open heart, is irresistible so we should trust the energy that is ourself. Q’uo did not say, “Put aside all fear.” because they would not do that to entities that might feel undefended and beyond their ability to enjoy their existence because Q’uo was aware that for some it is powerful to take part of the armor away, to lighten it, and to leave it off for small periods of time since when we are working with fear that “a little is a lot” because it is so difficult to judge ourself, and it is seldom accurate when we attempt it that Q’uo suggested that we simply focus upon giving the process a good try and being good to ourself no matter what the perceived outcome. So Q’uo said what we are attempting to do as we process the catalyst of our life through using the disciplining of the personality is to be ruthlessly honest with ourself and with the Creator, but it is not a good idea to berate the ourself, or to have the feeling that we are unworthy since these things are those stumbling blocks that trip up our feet and keep us from moving forward, and they have been put there by voices of others, but we have accepted them and have given them life far past their time of truth for some of those deeply painful childhood insults, so we should see with our eyes of love that which has caused fear to become a habit returned to again and again. Q’uo said that Carla carries a doll frequently when she is at home, and she talks to the doll and asks it to tell her its dreams, and this is the way that she seeks to undo damage done to her as a child by those who did not make her feel wanted or listened to so that there are ways to work on these difficulties that can be perceived as being the foundation for those fears that trouble the adult, and it is helpful to open the heart and mind together to see where these threads of fear take us because they will lead us to a deeper appreciation of ourself and a deeper ability to merge ourself with all of those separated parts of ourself that have moved away from other parts of ourself because of wounding and because of difficulty in holding the energy of ourself completely together. On November 13, 2003, Q’uo spoke about where the threads of fear come from:
In the matter of physical ailments, the body is always the creature of the mind. Certainly, this instrument has done a good deal of work, moving back into the early days of her incarnation and discovering those threads of fear and crassness and roughness that, even before this entity was born, created for her a disgust of the ways of thinking that exist within consensus reality, or the outside world as you know it. Let us say simply that it is well to become aware of the self as an entity which has come into an environment with which it is not particularly familiar and in which it is not comfortable. The choice to come into this arena of catalyst and choice was a heartfelt one and it came from a desire to serve; and so you and this instrument and many others have come through the densities, knocking at the door of third-density incarnation asking to serve, asking to walk among those native to third density on planet Earth at this time in order to do all that you may, in your humble way, to join in the response that you truly felt to the suffering of the planet Earth and of its people.
We would at this time ask if there is a continuing query upon this subject or if there are other questions at this time. We are those of Q’uo.
J: Hi, Q’uo, this is J. I really appreciate what you said, and I just wanted to ask you a quick question. I was told this weekend that I’m an adult indigo, and I was wondering if you could speak to this, and if that’s why I have been so attracted to doing energy work and vibrational medicine. Does it have to do with the fact that I am an adult indigo?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. That phraseology is acceptable as a way of designating a particularly opened-up and lively, shall we say, energy of the merkabah or the—I give this instrument an image of the spirals of the DNA and that there is more light there than is normally carried. We are having difficulty because of the phraseology of “indigo child.” There are those who are wired strictly for third density; there are those who come into incarnation with some of the wiring for fourth density already in place and simply needing to be, shall we say, hooked up, and that is your designation. There are others who are completely activated and some of those designated as indigo children are of the latter type, others being of the middle type.
May we answer you further, my sister?
J: No, that’s all for now, thank you very much.
Q’uo: We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
T: Yes. I have said several times that the need for polarity in our illusion can be fulfilled by using the memory. In other words, you don’t have to have good and bad or good and evil right directly in your experience every day. You can look at the negative aspect and draw from your memory of negative aspects in your life, in the past. Will that suffice for the polarity that is necessary to stay in this illusion? Could you comment please?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, there are those whose discipline is such, and whose imagination has focused, so that this is possible. For, shall we say, the majority of entities, a purely inner vision lacks satisfaction, whereas we would say that, as the one known as V had noted in conversation not too long ago, the function of the video game is so to populate an imaginary battlefield with imaginary enemies that one may bash heads in glorious carelessness of the propriety of doing so in the outer culture, for there is only the image that is being bashed. Nevertheless, when it is done as a spiritual practice it is amazingly efficient. The key is the imagination and the discipline to make the connection between those energies which need disciplining and the seeming abandon of the so-called video game.
May we answer you further, my brother?
T: No, thank you, that’s fine.
We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time.
G: Q’uo, if it’s not too large for this working I was wondering if you can comment on how one can distinguish between one’s own feelings and those of another? How can one protect against the negative feelings of others, and how one can transmute those feelings taken on from others within the self?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. You are indeed correct that it is a larger query than some, and perhaps we shall make this the last query of this particular session because of that fact. For most entities brought up within your culture, the difficulties of knowing what feelings are one’s own and what feelings are not, is not a problem because there is a characteristic self-involvement that dictates that there will be no confusion between the feelings of self and the feelings that are not of the self. However, when one has begun a process of opening and sensitizing the self to that which is more real, more true, more beautiful, more to be admired, the self does become less aware of the boundary between one’s own universe and the universes of others. This is due to the fact that there is no boundary between the universe of the self and the universe of others except those boundaries that are created by the mind of the person.
This is not, per se, a negative or positive thing. It can be either. What is occurring in a situation where there are overlapping auras is that there is the opportunity to exchange energy. The downside of this exchange of energy is when the exchange…
[Side one of tape ends.]
(Carla channeling)
[A portion of the channeling was not recorded.]
The question of how to determine one’s own boundaries can become very subtle. It may be as easy as physically removing the self from an environment, repeatedly, to see what changes may occur when one is in the environment and then out of it. It may be that there is talking to do to the self; that there are voices within the self that need to speak and say, “This is not me,” and, “This is me,” and, “Let me get you to understand this point of view even though it is not me.” One can have some interesting conversations around the campfire of self and in some cases talking out loud to the self, about the self, one may begin to hear the true self and hear what one has picked up as a rider, and hear the difference between what really is the self and what has been simply picked up and started to be carried around on the coattails of the self.
There is also the entire arena of physical cleansing that is helpful in creating boundaries, the smudging of the self with the sacred sage; the ritualistic immersion in meditation of the preferred kind in which that question is put to the self, “Show me myself, show me the shape of myself.” There are many ways to ask and indeed, for each person this is a very personal and very idiosyncratic work. Be open with the self, feel confident in following the intuitions and the hunches of self. Use journaling, use the dream process of writing the dreams down and thinking about them, use the conversation of others, and use all of those mute signs of the energy of the environment about you, the wind and the birds and so forth, all of those messengers that have spirit and wish to share energy with you.
There comes out of all this amalgamation a growing sense of being able to be a discriminator, and that is a very important feeling to gain. So, we greatly encourage those disciplines that put one in touch with one’s own powers of discrimination. It is a beautiful thing to know that all is one; but also that each of you is unique; each of you has your own shape; your own bloom, your own pollen, your own scent. Nobody like you ever was; nobody like you ever will be again. Only you have that breath to breathe, those words to say. We bless each of you as you move into your hopes and your dreams. May you walk with faith; may you walk with joy; and may you know that you are never alone; and as the one known as D so often says, that you are loved more than you can imagine.
D asked: “Q’uo, if it’s not too large for this working I was wondering if you can comment on how one can distinguish between one’s own feelings and those of another? How can one protect against the negative feelings of others, and how one can transmute those feelings taken on from others within the self?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that for most of us who are brought up within our culture that discovering what feelings are ours and what feeling are not ours is not a problem because there is the nature of our self-involvement that dictates that we will not be confused between our feelings and the feelings of someone else, but when we have begun a process of opening ourself to that which is more true and more beautiful we become less aware of the boundary between our own universe and the universes of others, and this is due to the fact that there is no boundary between the universe of ourself and the universe of others except those boundaries that are created by our minds. Q’uo went on to say that if we assume that all are thinking as one, then we see one universe, and our feelings naturally move into that one big universe where all is known; all is good; and all is loved, and Carla had done a great deal of work in the past few years learning how to make boundaries so that she is able to take care of herself and also to have the ability to love others as herself as opposed to thinking that all feelings were her own, and all needed to be addressed equally because it is a very confusing universe for us if we have become unable to make those boundaries between ourself and others, and it is especially difficult when the feelings which we feel are coming into our system from another person’s system that we feel are negative, and the question is how to make the boundaries that create comfort zones as there is an overlap in auras, especially in virtually every urban setting, and certainly in a household where there is a constant presence within the dwelling of people whose auras do indeed overlap with ours. Q’uo continued by saying that this could be a negative or a positive thing so that what is occurring in a situation where there are overlapping auras is that there is the opportunity to exchange energy, and the question of how to determine our boundaries can become very subtle because it may be as easy as physically removing our self from an environment, repeatedly, to see what changes may occur when we are in the environment and then out of it, or it may be that we can talk to ourself; that there are voices within ourself that need to speak and say, “This is not me,” and, “This is me,” and, “Let me get you to understand this point of view even though it is not me.” Or we can have some interesting conversations around the campfire of ourself by talking out loud about ourself, and we may begin to hear our true self and hear what we have picked up as a rider, and hear the difference between what really is ourself and what has been simply picked up and started to be carried around on the coattails of ourself. Then Q’uo said that there is also the physical cleansing the home that is helpful in creating boundaries; the smudging of ourself with the sacred sage; the meditation of the preferred kind in which that question is put to ourself, “Show me myself, show me the shape of myself.” And there are many ways to ask and indeed, for each of us this is a very personal and unique work, so we should be open with ourself and feel confident in following our intuition and use: “journaling, use the dream process of writing the dreams down and thinking about them, use the conversation of others, and use all of those mute signs of the energy of the environment about you, the wind and the birds and so forth, all of those messengers that have spirit and wish to share energy with you.” Q’uo completed their reply by saying that there comes out of all of these thoughts a growing sense of our being able to be a decision maker which is a very important feeling to gain so that Q’uo encouraged those disciplines that put us in touch with our own powers of discrimination because it is a beautiful thing to know that all is one; but also that each of us is unique; and: “Nobody like you ever was; nobody like you ever will be again. Only you have that breath to breathe, those words to say. We bless each of you as you move into your hopes and your dreams. May you walk with faith; may you walk with joy; and may you know that you are never alone; and as the one known as D so often says, that you are loved more than you can imagine.” On May 21, 1995, Q’uo spoke of how we all are loved:
At this time many, many of those not incarnate in physical vehicles flock within the inner planes of your globe. To those who ask for help they flock by the millions to offer their candle power to heighten the inner light of those in need. Yours is third density. Ask for help and help will be given you. Reach out the hand, and it will be full of invisible but real love. You are loved, not because you have achieved but because you exist, a child of the infinite Creator. You are enfolded, snuggled, by invisible nurturing arms. Every cell of your body is perfect. Your truth is that all is perfect. There is no striving necessary, for all is well.
We are motes that dance in the sunlight, but we love you with our whole heart. Ask for help. Serve each other. And the light generated shall be beautiful indeed. As you suffer, as you experience loss and limitation, all is well. Turn often to the perfection, to the integrity, and to the healing health of praise and thanksgiving within the present moment, for all that you see and know and do is done upon holy ground. That is the floor beneath the scenery.
We leave you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai vasu.
This morning I ran some errands with my first stop being at Anderson’s Supply to drop off my garden tiller to be repaired as it won’t start. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My third stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some trash bags and some Pepsi-Zero.

Unexpected Messengers Of Love
I am the Spirit of Love ,and I greet you in the consciousness of Christ.
It is given to us to come down like rain upon the thirsty souls of those who seek to winnow Light from darkness and spread the darkness in the nether regions, exalting Light to shine forth across the great sky of planetary consciousness.
The powerful Light-focusing abilities of the Spirit are not predictable, for the Spirit of Love has within It whisperings of Love’s wisdom which often turn the impulses of those overshadowed by Love in ways which may seem devious. Yet it is Love’s way to employ the seemingly crooked path from time to time in order that Love may break through in an entirely new place and in a completely new way. The serpent in Eden was a messenger of Love.
We leave you in peace, both 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.
