I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from November 2, 2003:

Our question today concerns free will. We would like to know what Q’uo could tell us about maintaining free will and why free will is the first distortion of the Law of One. Why not the second or third distortion? Why did the Creator of all things feel that free will was the most important of the distortions in order to be listed first?

(Carla channeling)

We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you. May we say what a privilege it is to be called to your circle of seeking? As the shadows lengthen upon your world in the environment of this instrument, we rest in the beauty of the combined energy and essence of each of your souls as you blend and meld into a true circle of seeking. It is a great blessing for us to be here and to share our thoughts with you. As always, we ask that you may use your discrimination in listening to those things which we have to say, for those things which we offer are opinions and are not to be confused with some source of final wisdom or absolute knowledge.

Youask this evening concerning free will and why it has been called, in the words of the Ra, “the first distortion.” And we are glad to speak upon this topic. It is certainly a challenging and interesting topic, for it is the penetrating simplicity of the Law of One that it does begin with the free will.

Firstly, we shall address the subject from the standpoint of what this instrument would call logic, although it is a specific kind of logic which is perhaps not entirely linear. The creation is, shall we say, a figment of the imagination of the Creator. The Creator exists in a state of absolute rest within which all things occur, a primal paradox to be sure. The first distortion of this perfect balance and peace is choice, or the use of the will. In this case, it was the will of the Creator to know Itself. Consequently, it is that distortion which precedes the great original Thought, for that original Thought is an active thought, a creative and destructive thought, a powerful, active principle. The one known as D was speaking earlier concerning Love and Light and saying that the fundamental energy was Love, that wisdom was important, yet Love in the end was more important. In actuality the Love that is the one great original Thought, the Logos is that which is completely beyond that which the word “love” can express and completely beyond that which the word “wisdom” can express.

Itis as though one were attempting to name that which cannot be seen, held, heard, or in any way imagined. Consequently, the first distortion, that distortion moving away from utter potentiality and utter peace and rest, is that freedom of will, employed first by the Creator Itself, to know Itself. In making this choice the Creator became, shall we say, the one great original Thought. It is more of a shift between potentiality and actuality or kinetic reality, shall we say. However, from this Thought, which was Love, there came into being that material which the Creator used to build Its universe, and that is Light. Consequently, when we greet you in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator, we are greeting you with the very stuff of the creation itself and placing ourselves, and you and all things, within this framework of all that is, which does indeed exist only in the sense that, as the one known as G was speaking earlier, the word “now” exists.

The creation may be thought of, in a way, as that moment in which all of time and all of space has its heartbeat of a moment. The illusion is that there is a vast march of consecutive moments, consecutive nows, that create years, and decades, and centuries, and millennia and eons. It is just as useful, however, in terms of spiritual growth, to think of the momentariness or the circularity of time. For each of you is far from being a prisoner of space and time. Within your noonday perception it would appear that you have many limits: you are just this tall, just this wide, you have just these experiences, just this knowledge, and just these actions to make up the passing of a normal day. Yet in reality, there is communication occurring, even in the daylight consciousness, between conscious and unconscious perceptions, between the limited consensual reality and the surrounding and permeating metaphysical reality that escapes the senses of the physical world but speaks very clearly to those great centers of knowledge and experience that lie deep within what this instrument would call the frontal lobes, that area which has such great strength and power to offer to the consensual reality self. So, there is always, in any situation, a part of you that has escaped all of the limits that seem to hem you in. There is no time at which you are truly a prisoner of your body.

Certainly, it may seem so. Certainly, within each of the memories within this circle there live those times when the self was very limited, unable to move because perhaps a bone was broken and needed mending, or there was an illness that laid one low, and there was a need to recover quietly. There are many ways that an entity can feel limited and trammeled and yet, always, there exists that continuing communication with all of those forces of the creation which indwell each tiny speck and iota of creation; for all things are alive. That intelligence, which is Light, is infinitely full of information and, as the physical vehicle of the self moves through the dance of the daily life, the interaction between that metaphysical side of self and the daylight self is continually going on. The communication can indeed be encouraged by the choices made by each of you. And the first of these choices, as the one known as G said, is simply to ask to be aware of the communication that is going on. Each asking alerts the unconscious and expresses to it a preference. The unconscious portion of self receiving this permission is then given strength. That is how faith builds upon itself, by using it as if it were a muscle. When muscles are not used, they become flabby and, sooner or later, an unused muscle will atrophy and become dysfunctional. So, it is with the power of faith, which, in a way, may be described as that certainty that there is communication between the seen and the unseen or perhaps more simply, that certainty in the unseen.

The group question for this session was: “Why did the Creator of all things feel that free will was the most important of the distortions in order to be listed first?” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they wanted to speak to the question from a non-linear standpoint by saying that the creation is a figment of the imagination of the Creator as the Creator exists in a state of absolute rest within which all things occur which is a primal paradox, and the first distortion of this perfect balance is the choice of the Creator to use Its will to know Itself so that it is that distortion which precedes the great original Thought, for that original Thought is an active thought, a creative and destructive thought, a powerful, active principle of the Love of the Logos which is completely beyond that which the word “love” can express. Q’uo continued by saying that the first distortion is moving away from utter peace and rest and is that freedom of will that was first used by the Creator to know Itself, and in making this choice the Creator became the one great original Thought which is more of a shift between potentiality and actuality, but from this Thought of Love there came into being the Light which the Creator used to build Its universe so that when Q’uo greets us in the Love and in the Light of the one infinite Creator, they are greeting us with the very stuff of the creation itself and placing themselves, us, and all things within this framework of all that is, which exists only in the sense that the word “now” exists. Q’uo went on to say that the creation may be thought of as that moment in which all of time and all of space has its heartbeat in a moment so that the illusion is that there is an infinite progression of consecutive nows that create years, and decades, and centuries, and millennia, and eons, but it is just as useful in terms of spiritual growth to think of the circularity of time because each of us is not a prisoner of space and time even though it would appear that we have many limits of our physical body’s size, the thoughts of our mind, and the experiences of our normal day, but in reality, there is communication occurring at all times between our conscious and unconscious perceptions, between the limited consensual reality and the surrounding and permeating metaphysical reality that escapes our senses of the physical world but speaks very clearly to that great center of knowledge and experience that lies deep within our frontal lobes, that area which has such great strength and power to offer to the consensual reality self, so there is always a part of us that has escaped all of the limits that seem to restrict us because there is no time at which we are truly a prisoner of our body. Now Q’uo said that it may seem that within each of the memories within this circle there live those times when the self was unable to move because a bone was broken and needed mending, or there was an illness, and there was a need to recover quietly so that there are many ways that we can feel limited, and there is always that continuing communication with all of those forces of the creation which indwell in each iota of creation, for all things are alive, and that intelligence, which is Light, is infinitely full of information and, as our body moves through the dance of the daily life, the interaction between that metaphysical side of ourself and the daylight self is continually going on so that communication can be encouraged by the choices made by each of us, and the first of these choices is to ask to be aware of the communication that is going on, and each asking alerts our unconscious and expresses to it a preference so that the unconscious portion of ourself that receives this permission is given strength, and that is how faith builds upon itself, by using it as if it were a muscle, and the use of faith may be described as that certainly that there is communication between the seen and the unseen. On September 8, 2021, Q’uo described the value of our use of faith:

There is an intelligent energy at work to attract just such experiences that are a perfect match for what the individual needs to learn and to use as its growth in an upward fashion. The use of faith connects both the awareness of the connection the individual has with the basic earth energy with its own spiritual purpose in that incarnation. Simply by having faith that this process is eternal and matched to the individual and its needs for growth—growth toward love and understanding and greater compassion—speaks to how the simple concept of faith, a turning over the process to a greater consciousness of which the individual is a part, is at work. On some level, each individual is aware that there is a great process going on—of growth, maturity, and greater awareness toward love and light—and can trust that process to take place.

It is very possible to catch this as if it were a cold, by contact with other entities who have it. And that is why so often it is helpful for spiritually motivated people to gather in groups such as this one, to share the awareness that moves too deeply for words in the being of each and yet will not be denied. There is strength in a group of entities, all of whom have agreed to posit, as at least a possibility, the reality of there being greater, deeper, higher vistas, views, and truths concerning the self than are immediately apparent within an environment that seems steeped in trivia, inanity, and folly. We are most pleased to see groups such as this one and may we say how powerful such groups are, not only to help each other within the group, although this is certainly the case, but also the energy created by a group such as this one as it seeks truly is as that light which lightens the darkness, that lighthouse which stands upon the promontory, blessing all with its guidance.

Our first point, then, is that free will is the first distortion because it is the first distortion, that distortion which made all the other distortions possible, which made creation possible, which made each of us and you here present, possible. There is a second and equally profound thread of thought concerning this first distortion of free will. This entity worships in a Christian manner and within this particular mythological system there is a three-fold designation to Deity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One may gaze at the Father as the one great original Thought. One may gaze at the Son as that Thought made into something, that Thought made into light. One may gaze at the Holy Spirit as the personification of free will. These are not directly logical connections, and we would not ask you to attempt, literally, to understand that which we are saying. We are simply attempting to show a kind of connection between the Christian way of thinking about the mystery of Deity and the similar construction within the so-called Law of One concerning that same mystery. When those within the Christian system, writing early in church history, were attempting to describe the Spirit, when the one known as Jesus was talking about the Spirit, there were similes to fire and to the wind, those things which are not controlled, those things which “bloweth as it listeth,” the wind of Spirit, the flame or fire of Spirit, coming down into the crown chakra and down into the system of those who pray to that Spirit. They are asking for the wind to blow them, for the fire to burn them. They are asking for transformation; they are asking for change; they are asking to be changed; and they are asking the agent of that change to visit them.

Itis difficult to think of free will as that which must be asked for, and yet it is important to move into a space within the self where one is able to lay all aside except the desire to know the truth. And in that place of utter humility and unknowing, in that stance of a person with empty hands waiting to receive, the request may be made for that enlivening, empowering Spirit that is free will. It is yours if you claim it. It is yours if you ask. Again, if you do not ask, if you do not claim it, little by little that muscle atrophies, and it becomes more and more difficult to move with the winds of Spirit, to move into changes that are truly moving you towards the center of yourself, helping you to know more, and that more deeply, about yourself. So one may look at this first distortion not simply as an unnamed wind or a random fire but as one’s very own wind and fire. For the whole concept of guidance from the inner planes is wrapped up in that asking which is done by free will. One cannot drag oneself, reluctantly, to embrace transformation. It certainly can happen that way, for the energies of transformation are absolutely unstoppable. Evolution will occur automatically. It is just rather slow compared to the rate of change that is possible when an entity has decided to cooperate and to lean into the process of transformation.

Again and again, it is necessary to come to the center of self with open hands, empty hands, full of unknowing, full of all of the colors that have painted your world within the last little while, whether those colors be bright and cheerful chintzes or deep purples and browns and blacks coming from difficult experiences. All of these gifts may be taken into that place and laid before the infinite One, so that you have empty hands; you have an open heart; and you are on your knees, in terms of being without pride, without arrogance, without the need to be sure or to be right. In that state you may ask that guidance system which is yours, that personification of free will which is yours, “What is the truth? Who am I? Why am I here? Whom shall I serve?”

And each time of asking is its own experience. Perhaps you shall not hear words. Perhaps you shall not have an experience that you can talk about; perhaps you shall. But those things that you ask, when you ask the Spirit, are far too deep for words. They move far beneath personality and that brittle shell of civilization and culture that are as the clothing that you wear in order to relate within this incarnation to those about you. And finally, you stand naked, glorious in the beauty of the self, that self that is a spark of the one infinite Creator. And when you can stand there, or kneel there, content just to be you and to feel that yearning and that asking rise up, then truly have you offered the greatest gift to the Creator that you possibly could. For that Creator truly wishes to know you. And It can only know you as you know yourself. What It knows about you is that which It has already experienced. What It does not know about you is that which you have not experienced, that which you have not run into. It is as though within that so-seductive appearance of personality, and face, and body there lies an undiscovered country of enormous size, with mountains, and plains, and rivers, and deep underground caverns, all of which are yours to explore. And that which is free will is your guide.

Then Q’uo said that it is possible to become aware of this communication with our subconscious, and that is why it is helpful for spiritually motivated people to gather in groups such as this one, to share the awareness that moves too deeply for words in the being of each and yet will not be denied because there is strength in a group of entities, all of whom have agreed to assume the possible reality of there being  higher views and truths concerning ourself than are immediately apparent within an environment that seems full of  trivia and folly, and Q’uo was pleased to see groups such as this one because such groups are a help to each other within the group, but the energy created by a group such as this one is like that lighthouse which stands upon the top of a hill blessing all with its guidance. Q’uo continued by saying that the first point is that free will is the first distortion because it is the first distortion which made all the other distortions possible, which made creation possible, which made each of us possible, and they said that there is a second thread of thought concerning this first distortion of free will which Carla worshipped in the Christian manner and within this particular system there is: “a three-fold designation to Deity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One may gaze at the Father as the one great original Thought. One may gaze at the Son as that Thought made into something, that Thought made into light. One may gaze at the Holy Spirit as the personification of free will.” Q’uo said that these are not logical connections, and they would not ask us to literally attempt to understand that which they were saying which was to show a connection between the Christian way of thinking about the mystery of Deity and the similar interpretation within the Law of One concerning that same mystery so that when those within the Christian system, writing early in church history, were attempting to describe the Spirit that Jesus was talking about there were comparisons to fire and to wind, those things which are not controlled, those things which “bloweth as it listeth,:” “the wind of Spirit, the flame or fire of Spirit, coming down into the crown chakra and down into the system of those who pray to that Spirit. They are asking for the wind to blow them, for the fire to burn them. They are asking for transformation; they are asking for change; they are asking to be changed; and they are asking the agent of that change to visit them.” Q’uo went on to say that free will is that which we must ask for, but it is important to move into a space within the ourself where we are able to lay all aside except our desire to know the truth, and in that place of humility and unknowing we can make the request for that enlivening Spirit that is free will which is ours if we ask for it, but if we do not ask for it that muscle atrophies, and it becomes more difficult to move with the winds of Spirit and to move into changes that are moving us towards the center of ourself and help us know more about ourself, so we may look at this first distortion as our very own wind and fire because the whole concept of guidance from the inner planes is wrapped up in that asking which is done by free will, and we cannot drag ourself to embrace transformation although it can happen that way, for the energies of transformation are absolutely unstoppable, and evolution will occur automatically, but it is slow compared to the rate of change that is possible when we have decided to cooperate and to lean into the process of transformation. Now Q’uo said that it is necessary to come to the center of ourself with empty hands,  full of unknowing, and full of all of the colors that have painted our world within the last little while, and all of these gifts may be taken into that place and laid before the infinite One, so that we have empty hands, an open heart, and we are on our knees, without pride and without the need to be right, and in that state we may ask that guidance system which is ours, that quality of free will which is ours: “What is the truth? Who am I? Why am I here? Whom shall I serve?” Q’uo completed their reply by saying that each time of asking is its own experience where we shall not hear words; perhaps we shall not have an experience that we can talk about; perhaps we shall, but those things that we ask of the Spirit are far too deep for words because they move far beneath our personality shell of the culture that are the clothing that we wear in order to relate within this incarnation to those about us, and finally we stand naked in the beauty of ourself that is a spark of the one infinite Creator, and when we can kneel there content just to be ourself and to feel that asking to rise up, then truly have we offered the greatest gift to the Creator that we possibly could, for the Creator truly wishes to know us, and It can only know us as we know ourself so that which It knows about us is that which It has already experienced, but what It does not know about us is that which we have not experienced, and it is as though within that seductive appearance of our personality, face, and body lies: “an undiscovered country of enormous size, with mountains, and plains, and rivers, and deep underground caverns, all of which are yours to explore. And that which is free will is your guide.” On May 13, 1984, Latwii spoke of the nature of our free will:

These are general guidelines, my friend, and if it be realized that the free will of each entity during the incarnation is equal to the programming before the incarnation, then it may be discovered that there is what one might call a dynamic tension or balance that exists between that which has been determined before the incarnation and the free will that is exercised during the incarnation.

The free will, of course, also is covered by the programming, yet the programming may also be altered by the free will. Thus, an entity at any time within the incarnation may be moved by two seemingly separate forces, the programming and the free will. The actions of the entity will be the product of the, shall we say, mating of the free will and pre-incarnative programming. To attempt to discover how much a part each plays in forming the actions, the thoughts, and the disposition of the entity is difficult, for both forces, shall we say, are plaited up together as one might see a rope to be, yet each plays its part.

An entity may at any time use certain ritualized techniques to express both the programming and the free will. The techniques may include that which you have described as the prayer or may include what have been called positive affirmations, and may include, for those who are seekers of the rituals to a finer degree, that called the ritualized magical performance, shall we say. In each instance the seeker is calling upon the one Creator in some form to aid the service or the lesson. As this call is made, those preincarnatedly programmed abilities and propensities lend their portion as do the incarnational free will choices. Thus, the product of the ritual is that which includes both forces. The free will may, shall we say, finely tune the general parameters of the preincarnatedly programmed path or attitude.

We believe that this is sufficient for this asking and consequently we would open the meeting at this time to further questions, if there be any. Is there a query at this time?

J: Yes Q’uo, I have a query. Two weeks ago I asked you a question about DNA set ups and you told me that my designation was third and fourth-density set ups but not quite turned on. So, I am asking your opinion about what I can do to turn that fourth-density connection on?

We are those of Q’uo, and we understand your query, my sister. The DNA of which you speak is affected by thought. Consequently, if, by the disciplining of the personality, an entity is able to begin to tune the heart to living in an open, loving, and vulnerable state, such as that state fourth-density entities experience, the perceptions that come into the mind and that tell the body what is occurring are those perceptions which will automatically hook up that which is not hooked up within the DNA strands. The stimulus for the body is the mind, so in working with the mind to move from what this instrument would call mental thinking into heart oriented thinking, it is the movement from third-density to fourth-density thinking. As the heart is allowed to think and to be strong in moving into a major part of the process of perception, the body will follow, being a creature of the mind.

May we answer you further, my sister?

J: No, that’s good.

Q’uo: We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?

T: I have a query, Q’uo. I realize that the channeled meditation is mainly a metaphysical event, [and] my being at a physical distance  is probably not too important, but I was wondering whether there are any precautions or special preparations that would be useful for me to undertake so that I would not hinder the contact or cause any other difficulties?

We are those of Q’uo, and we grasp your query, my brother. We do not find that there is any concern necessary upon your part. Indeed, as you surmised, the physical location does not matter. We did find at one point in our discussion, when we were talking about the beauty of the lengthening shadows, that we became confused because we were also seeing the beauty of the morning, and we had to smile at our own version of being out-of-towners and not quite used to the experience of working with entities who are not in the same physical location. However, this was in no way a hindrance but rather for us something to chuckle at and enjoy. We are always learning from those within third density and once again we discover humor within your technology.

However, in terms of doing anything to better prepare for a contact with this group and with us, the process which this group goes through, of speaking around the circle, seems to be a very powerful and simple means of melding or combining the group so that it is indeed beating as with one heart and asking as with one soul. Consequently, we are pleased that you chose to join in the discussion beforehand and we feel that certainly, other than that, you bring to the group a great deal of light and we are most pleased that you are with us.

May we answer you further, my brother?

T: No, thank you Q’uo, that was very helpful, thank you very much.

Q’uo: We thank you, my brother.

G: Q’uo, I’ve discovered, with the aid of a reading I had through D, a pattern where I am bodily present, but a portion of my consciousness will evacuate in a moment in any conversation, and I was wondering if you might have anything to offer me concerning how that pattern developed within me? Are there any techniques or exercises that I can utilize to stay present and to inhabit my body more fully?

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. In terms of the genesis of this particular mental distortion, it is, as in many cases, the far reaches of early childhood which must be moved into in order to see where the pattern has begun. It is quite understandable that when there is disharmony that is present at a level which is painful to experience, the choice of a sensitive entity, in order to protect the self, is to remove the self mentally from the circumstances, since it cannot do so physically. Certainly, the processes of schooling and religious education create further times when it is desirable to put psychic distance between the self and situations which do not please the self for one reason or another. And this also has had its effect upon your personality shell.

The pain which is being avoided is not a physical pain and yet, because of the sensitivity of the particular physical body that you have and its way of being connected to the mind, there is a habit that has been formed which is as the nervousness or tension that another might feel, say, at attempting to move through a door and being unable to get it open. It is a feeling of being closed in or frustrated and yet physically there is nowhere to go to get away from that feeling. Consequently, the trip must be taken mentally. And this habit has become somewhat regularized within your personality shell.

Now in terms of how to work with it, we would suggest that you be creative and start with the premise that you are operating with faulty software and that you need it re-written to some extent. How can one work with one’s mental settings to change the default? That is the question! And we leave it to you, for this is your work to do. You have tools at your disposal. You have the dream work. You have meditation itself. You have prayer. You have many opportunities to connect with guidance, to connect with the guidance that is found in nature and so forth. All of these are at your disposal. We would also suggest the light touch, the gentle nudge, rather than a ruthless or full-scale-house-cleaning-type attempt to change the self. This is not the desirable way of dealing with the self. Rather, see the self as lovingly and as compassionately as a father would see his son or as a mother would see her baby. Ask the self, “What do you need?” And then see what you can do to…

[Side one of tape ends.]

…satisfy those needs. If there is the need for solitude, cooperate with that need and enter into solitude passionately. If there are suggested to you other things that you may do or things that you may cease doing, follow your instincts, follow your heart, follow that guidance which comes to you.

May we answer you further, my brother?

G: No, that was excellent. Thank you for the most thorough answer, Q’uo.

Q’uo: We thank you, my brother. Your kind words make us blush. Is there a final query at this time?

S: I have a question. I guess you’ve heard the story I told earlier. I’ve been looking for other thoughts, other opinions, other ideas about what is going on with me and my life. I would very much like to get your thoughts and ideas, what you see from your perspective.

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. From our perspective, my brother, we see beauty. We see strength and courage. We see deep humility. We see gentleness and yet at the same time we see strength. We would ask that you may see these things about yourself as well. See that beauty which is yours. Let that beauty light you and light your way. See the sweetness and the kindness and the gentleness that has been your gift throughout your incarnation. And let yourself feel that kindness, that gentleness, that sweetness. You need that for yourself at this time.

Picture yourself holding yourself as if you were a baby. Rock that baby, and rock that baby, and rock that baby again. And rock that baby all night if that baby is upset, because sometimes only human touch, only the human love of a parent can get a child through a cranky night. Perhaps we could say that we see you cutting new teeth, as children will do. It is a very painful process. One cannot move with one’s normal comfort. One does not understand why it must hurt so badly because one is, after all, just a baby. We would say that this is the equivalent of that which has occurred within you. It is a natural process. It is a process that promises good growth and new “teeth.” However it is a process that is most difficult to move through.

So, we would ask that you nurture yourself. Realize, whenever you can, that there is a tremendous amount of love around you, not simply from friends such as these within this circle or from family but from a very extended family of those who are with you as guidance and simply those who are with you because they have been attracted to your goodness and to your seeking. This support system is strong to save and quick to respond, and we encourage you to use it. We, ourselves, are available at any time to give you a deeper meditation or a stronger feeling of presence. Lean into the help that is there and above all, believe in yourself, believe in this process, and know that each dark night ends with a beautiful sunrise.

May we answer you further, my brother?

S: I appreciate your kind words. I’ve even got some that you had spoken two years ago that I keep with me and read. I do appreciate the support and the kindness. From my perspective it’s so hard to see, but thank you for now.

Q’uo: We thank you, my brother.

It is with profound gratitude that we say our goodbyes to this group. Thank you for the pleasure of your company. Thank you for sharing with us your hopes and your questions and allowing us to share with you as well. We leave each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. Adonai.

This morning I went to the front yard of my neighbor across the street and spread birdseed under the birdfeeders so that the deer and the squirrels could also have birdseed to eat because the bird feeders are squirrel and deer proof.

This afternoon I had a zoom meet with my two friends of over 50 years where we caught up on what has been going on in our lives since our last meeting. Then we read from the Ra Contact in Session #42 and from Living Buddha Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh. We had a great time together as always.

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

February 18

The Hardy And Careless Lover

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

What protection have you from the events and circumstances of this day? Do you indeed need protection? Must umbrellas keep you from the rain of internal weather? Must you indeed armor yourself so that you never shiver, so that you are never cold or miserable? Are these estates indeed to be so avoided?

Perhaps it is better to see oneself as a hardy and careless lover of all conditions of life and take no thought for the umbrella, the warm coat, and all the armor of emotion.

It is often said, “Fear not, for I am with you.” We are of the principle of Jesus the Christ. And when this entity said, “Fear not,” He did not suggest that you would not be rained upon or shiver from the cold but only that you would not be alone or overwhelmed by experience.

Stride forth, then, into the world, recognizing its difficulties and affirming them in peace.

We leave you in that peace which does indeed pass all understanding, now and forever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
