I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 4, 2004:
The question today deals with change. We were talking around the circle about the different kinds of change that each of us is going through. It even seems that the Earth and the solar system and perhaps the galaxy are going through changes as well, and it would seem to be the logical thing, considering all things are moving and growing. We are wondering if Q’uo could give us some information today on how we, in our own personal lives, can deal with change. It seems that whenever we want to change or when change faces us, that there is a practical side and an idealistic side to the change: things that we would like to do and things we feel like we have to do. Blending the two or balancing the two seems to be the real trick. So, if Q’uo could talk to us some about how to look at the concept of change in both the practical and idealistic senses, we would appreciate that very much.
(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 this day. It is a great blessing to be among you, to experience your vibrations, and to share your meditation. We thank you for calling us to your circle this day to speak concerning the concept of change, and we would ask one thing, as always, that will enable us to speak freely: we would ask each of you carefully to guard your own judgment and discrimination, and to listen to those things that we say with a careful and jaundiced ear. Be cautious about absorbing new information. We are not authorities; we are those who seek, just as you are. We share our opinion, and while you are welcome to it, we wish you to realize what we also realize that we are not without imperfections and it is possible for us to err. Consequently, guard those portals of your learning and accept only those things which resonate deeply within as being truths that are helpful for you at this time. Because truth is of the nature of a growing thing. It has a path of individual development, and it is different for each individual. With that understood, between us we feel that we can speak freely without infringing upon your free will and we appreciate that from each of you.
We gaze within this instrument’s mind to find a starting point for that which we wish to say today and give her the image of the ivy that she was weeding from the planting of lilac trees that grows along the path of the side of this instrument’s house. We see the thoughts that this instrument had while following the ivy around and around the lilac and gently disentangling it from the mass of other strands, or wires, of binding plant that spiral endlessly in the attempt to seek the sun and yet, in so doing, attempt to use all about it as a prop in order to have help in ascending to that source of light, and food, and warmth. Just in such innocent ways does each of you find comfort in the winding effect of some habits that have seemed at first to be helpful, and then perhaps not so helpful and perhaps even narrowing or limiting in their effect upon you as a growing and changing person.
Thechange that is taking place is as a stream that has an energy of its own. Each nuance of attitude which you bring to the observation of and into relationship with this stream, affects the stream. When there is no resistance to that stream, which this instrument would loosely call “destiny,” then it is as if that stream takes one quietly along with a minimum of distress or displacement because of the shift in the movement or flow of that river of destiny. It is as if quiet and self-confidence were the raft or the frail barque that keeps one high and dry in this river of destiny. Only those materials that build the canoe, quietness, and confidence, are availing. In every other situation, one is either resisting the flow of destiny, which has little use since it moves directly against the process of change, or one may indeed embrace change with such a hectic ardor that the change cannot take place properly, or easily, shall we say, in the flow of things because the entity has taken up the oar, or the paddle, and begun furiously attempting to help the stream move forward. The first blocking energy is that energy of fear. The overeager energy is also, in a way, that of fear. The resting upon the pleasant seat in the canoe of quietness and confidence, then, is that path of least resistance which, in many cases, is the most difficult path to take. It is completely understandable that in many entity’s minds, when one approaches a known process of change, one wishes first of all to create that process and move through it as quickly as possible.
So, the first thing that we would suggest is to have a model within the mind of change as being affected very, very much by a process that is already flowing and that has flowed out of the wellspring of your past intentions and the focus you have attained in the past. For in the past you sow for the future and in the present, you reap that which you have sown long ago. Allow this process to take place as it needs to in terms of the timing of things. Not in terms of how carefully you think about what is happening or how deeply you contemplate the nuances of the processes taking place. It is an excellent idea to ask the self daily, if it is on the mind daily, what one thinks, how one feels, to sense into the process that you are aware of, however imperfectly it is taking place, in order to keep the lines of communication within the self open. These lines of communication are most helpful, and they are very sensitive to intention. Telling the self, asking the self, creating space within the self for learning more about such a process of change will yield results, whether they be from the portals of dream, or waking vision, or subjectively interesting coincidence.
Given that each day you are experiencing an increase in the transparency of the new energy to the energy of late third density, it is skillful, in working with the process of your accommodating and embracing change and of moving with the flow of your own destiny, to realize that you have increasing abilities to envision, to set intentions, to ask for help of far more subtle energies than were previously possible, and in many ways to link the deeper aspects of the self with the very considerable powers that are beginning to form up from fourth-density Gaia and from that fourth-density web of social memory that is nascent at this time and even now being experienced in brief flashes in groups such as this one. The subtlety of working with fourth-density energies while in a third-density body are not subtleties that will yield easily to the reasoning process of the logical mind.
The third-density ability to generate thoughts that express in words, while a useful ability, is a third-density ability. And what you are attempting to do is make use of fourth-density-level information in approaching the process of change. This information does not come in processes that create words. There is a translation process that is necessary, and entities such as this instrument have created ways to inform themselves of sub-conscious processes in a conscious manner which produces words. However, this a learned and not an automatic skill and, in general terms, the subconscious processes that feed into each of you are those processes that will not, at any time, approach the reasoning or logical mind.
The group question for this session was: “So, if Q’uo could talk to us some about how to look at the concept of change in both the practical and idealistic senses, we would appreciate that very much.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that they gazed within Carla’s mind to give her the image of the ivy that she was weeding from the planting of lilac bushes that grew along the path outside of her home, and Q’uo saw the thoughts she had while following the ivy around the lilac and gently disentangling it from the mass of other strands that were binding plant that spiraled endlessly in the attempt to seek the light of the sun, and in an attempt to use all about it as a prop in order to have help in ascending to that source of light, food, and warmth, and in such innocent ways does each of us find comfort in the winding effect of some of our habits that seemed at first to be helpful, and then even limiting in their effect upon us as a growing and changing person. Q’uo continued by saying the change that is taking place in us is as a stream that has an energy of its own so that each variation of attitude which we bring to the into relationship with this stream affects the stream, and when there is no resistance to that stream of our destiny it is as if that stream takes us quietly along with a minimum of distress because of the shift in the flow of that river of destiny, and it is as if our self-confidence was the raft that keeps us high and dry in this river of destiny so that only our confidence that builds our canoe can have an effect, and in every other situation, we are either resisting the flow of destiny, or we may embrace change with such a strong desire that change cannot take place easily in the flow of things because we have taken up the oar and begun furiously attempting to help our canoe move forward. Q’uo said that the first blocking energy is that of fear which we may also express by being overeager in achieving change, so when we are resting upon the pleasant seat in the canoe of quietness and confidence, that is that path of least resistance which is often the most difficult path to take, and it is understandable that in our minds, when we are approaching a known process of change, we wish to create that process and move through it as quickly as possible. Q’uo continued by suggesting that we have a model within our mind of change as being affected by a process that has flowed out of the wellspring of our past intentions and the focus we have attained in the past, for in the past we sow for the future, and in the present we reap what we have sown long ago, so we should allow this process to take place as it needs to in terms of its timing but not in terms of how deeply we contemplate the variations of the processes taking place, and it is an excellent idea to ask ourself daily how we feel, and to sense into the process that we are aware of in order to keep the lines of communication within ourself open because these lines of communication are helpful, and they are sensitive to our intentions and creating space within ourself for learning more about such a process of change that will yield results from the use of dreams, waking visions, or interesting coincidences. Then Q’uo said that each day we are experiencing an increase in the transparency of the new energy of fourth density from the energy of late third density, and it is skillful when we are working with the process of embracing change and of moving with the flow of our destiny to realize that we have the ability set intentions and to ask for help of more subtle energies than were previously possible, and in many ways to link the deeper aspects of ourself with the powers that are beginning to form up from fourth-density Gaia and: “from that fourth-density web of social memory that is nascent at this time and even now being experienced in brief flashes in groups such as this one. The subtlety of working with fourth-density energies while in a third-density body are not subtleties that will yield easily to the reasoning process of the logical mind.” Now Q’uo said that our third-density ability to generate thoughts that express in words is our attempt to make use of fourth-density-level information in approaching the process of change, and this information does not come in processes that create words, and entities such as Carla have created ways to inform themselves of sub-conscious processes in a conscious manner which produces words, but this a learned and not an automatic skill, and the subconscious processes that feed into each of us are those processes that will not approach the logical mind. On September 7, 2003, Q’uo spoke about how we all go through the process of change:
Thusly, the first thing we would say about the way to deal with the concept or the perception that one is in a process of change is to remember the structure that supports this perception. That structure is your eternal and infinite soul stream, that energy that is you, now and forever. A part of that energy has moved into the habitation of the physical body or vehicle, and at this time you are inextricably intertwined, energetically, with this physical vehicle. Yet you are not this physical vehicle. You simply reach into the physical vehicle with the ties and bonds of your dedication of self to the incarnation and connections within the energy body that move into the connections in each chakra. As you present yourselves to us at this time, you sit in the jars of clay, shall we say, that are the vehicles of your physical body, which cannot contain the rainbow self that is your energy, or energetic, body. This rainbow self shimmers and glows and exceeds the boundaries of physicality. And in the balance of each of those chakras, we see much that is not apparent within the veil of third-density illusion.
Consequently, the challenge is how to take in fourth-density concepts when one has not yet become fully telepathic, shall we say, or sensitive to the voices in the trees and the wild animals and indeed in the elements, the “angry agate marble coffee table,” and the sky. All things do have their voices and the one known as D is not altogether incorrect in assigning active personality to such things as the aforementioned table. The one known as D was unfortunate enough to come into contact in a painful manner with this particular table. Was the table therefore angry? Was the table therefore offering information? Or was the entire episode expressing that which was, shall we say, information which was most easily sent in that particular way in that particular moment. All things that impend upon you can have a subjectively interesting meaning and can be looked at with profit for that which they bring, in terms of situations, emotions that have been brought up by such catalyst, and so forth.
Thereis wisdom in remaining personally interested and motivated towards discovering precisely what it is one desires. Serving the Creator and being a part of the spiritual principle does not mean denying the self but rather unveiling the self to the self and discovering the very heart of what you wish to do. And then, allowing the self to grow in awareness of the very best way to bring such a dream into manifestation. So, we do not encourage you to abnegate any personal feelings in favor of the desire to serve the Creator. There is a co-creatorship that is important to the Creator as well as to you. It is important to the Creator that that which you desire is that for which you are aiming. Hone your desire once you find it. Until you are sure of it, pursue the knowledge of yourself. Pursue that question of the self as to what it truly does desire, what its motives truly are. Ask once but then ask a second time and a third time. For the process of change is not that which occurs and then is over. It is that which will cycle through the experience until you are removed from this particular outer experience by the processes of death. The body itself is irresistible in its relentless change. And as the one known as D has been discussing recently, the very system of planets and stars which are your physical home is in the midst of a relentless and inevitable series of changes.
The current atmosphere is one in which your best allies are your guidance system, your consciousness, and the world about you. The world about you, being first and second density, has never been separated from the Love of the one Creator, and It constitutes a powerful resource for those who are contemplating change. The guidance system that you experience has a great deal of information and many resources, many layers or levels of help that are available in various ways, in various times. As we have said before, we do not wish to pry too closely into that guidance system, which is a very individualized system. Yet it is there, whatever its characteristics are, whether it is, as this instrument would call it, a Holy Spirit or any other description, such as higher self, that you would wish to make as a characterization. This energy is a true part of who you are, and it is never apart from you. So, there is always information that is coming in that is fully intended to be helpful.
Consequently, those two allies are the most powerful. Your third ally is the consciousness that you carry. That consciousness is not your thoughts. Your thoughts are riding on that consciousness like whitecaps above the water. Your consciousness is that which lies beneath, around, permeating what you think of as your consciousness. It is your essence. It is that part of you that also has never been separated from the creative principle. Within it lies your sanctuary—that point of contact with the one infinite Creator, that tabernacle where you may go in at any time and find rest and comfort for your soul. This instrument likes to picture the one known as Jesus as having a huge hand and she climbs into that hand and falls asleep in that palm, resting in safety. In other times she imagines crawling into the lap of the Creator and being rocked like a little baby. And when she is feeling sore and weary, she does go into her sanctuary. Each of you has that sanctuary within. Not because of what you think or because of how you feel. The water within you is deeper than any of those surface disturbances. You are also that deep water which is eternity and infinity. You are Love. You are Light. You are the one great original Thought, which is the Creator Itself. This asset is that which is so easily missed in the search for help without. And there is no entrance into this powerful ally except silence, time and asking. So, we encourage those times of silence, and asking, and knowing that that which you are asking is being heard by the one infinite Creator Who is closer to you than your breath.
Then Q’uo said the challenge is how we can take in fourth-density concepts when we have not become fully telepathic or sensitive to the voices in the trees, the wild animals and the marble coffee table because all things have their voices, and D is not incorrect in assigning a personality to the coffee table because D was unfortunate to come into contact in a painful manner with this table, so was the table angry, or was the table offering information which was most easily sent in that way and in that moment because all things that affect us can have a personal meaning, and we can look at them with blessings which they bring us, in terms of emotions that have been brought up by such catalyst. Now Q’uo said that there is wisdom in our remaining personally interested in discovering what we desire because serving the Creator and being a part of the spiritual principle is a process of unveiling ourself to ourself and discovering the heart of what we wish to do, and then allowing ourself to grow in awareness of the best way to bring such a dream into manifestation. So, Q’uo did not encourage us to deny any personal feelings in favor of our desire to serve the Creator because there is a co-Creatorship that is important to the Creator as well, and it is important to the Creator that which we desire is that for which we are hoping, so we should pursue that question of what we desire, and ask a second time and a third time, for the process of change is not that which occurs and then is over because it will cycle through the experience until the end of our life since our body goes through continuous change which is also true of the system of planets and stars which are our physical home. Q’uo went on to say that the current atmosphere is one in which our best allies are our guidance system, our consciousness, and the world about us which is the first and second density that has never been separated from the Love of the one Creator, and It constitutes a powerful resource for anyone that is contemplating change, and our guidance system has many resources that are available in various ways and times, so Q’uo said they did not wish to pry too closely into our guidance system which is unique to us, whether it is called the Holy Spirit, as Carla called it, or our higher self because this energy is a true part of who we are, and it is never apart from us, so there is always information that is coming in that is fully intended to be helpful. Q’uo continued by saying that those two allies are the most powerful, and our third ally is our consciousness that lies beneath, around, and permeating what we think of as our consciousness, and it is our essence which has never been separated from the creative principle, and within it lies our sanctuary which is the point of our contact with the one infinite Creator, that tabernacle where we may go in at any time to find rest and comfort for our soul. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that Carla liked to picture Jesus as having a huge hand, and she would climb into that hand and fall asleep in that palm, resting in safety, and in other times she imagines crawling into the lap of the Creator and being rocked like a little baby, so when she is feeling sore and weary, she goes into her sanctuary, and each of us has that sanctuary within us–not because of what we think or because of how we feel—because the water within us is deeper than any of those surface disturbances, and: “We are also that deep water which is eternity and infinity. We are Love. We are Light. We are the one great original Thought, which is the Creator Itself. This asset is that which is so easily missed in the search for help without. And there is no entrance into this powerful ally except silence, time, and asking. So, we encourage those times of silence, and asking, and knowing that that which we are asking is being heard by the one infinite Creator Who is closer to you than your breath.” On October 8, 1989, Q’uo revealed how we all are the one great original Thought:
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We shall take your phrase, “the place of your origin” not to be a specific location, for, indeed, you are from all places, but to be that frame of mind or attitude of unity from which each portion of the one Creator springs, and, indeed, this is true, my brother, for each entity has begun in total unity as an unpolarized and undifferentiated particle of that one great original Thought of Love which has set all creation in motion. Each entity, therefore, finds its uniqueness in the means by which it is able to refine and define this unity from a perspective born of experience that becomes of necessity unique, for as each portion of the creation that becomes intelligent and self-conscious does so, its experience is at variance to some degree from the experience of any other portion of the creation, for the hallmark of an infinite Creator, my brother, is variety. By the free will choices that are possible to each portion of the creation, there is seen an infinity of possibility for each portion of the creation.
Thus does each entity such as yourself move in a rhythm that partakes of the great heartbeat of the universe, moving outward and outward, gathering experience, turning that experience into the power to serve, to love, to glorify the one Creator, and to continue on the journey, moving then back again to that place of unity from which all this began, having now gained the experience of moving through the cycles of creation. Thus, you are in microcosm the one Creator that has come to know Itself as you are now, and shall come to know Itself as all that is.
We would at this time ask if there are further queries about the opening question or whether we may answer another query at this time. We are those of Q’uo.
R: I don’t have a question, Q’uo, but I do want to say that on the surface it seems good to be back in the group and hear your voice coming through the instrument, Carla. And I wanted to thank you for being with me during those two years in various places where I have been, being a quiet support, an inspiration.
We are those of Q’uo, and, my brother, may we say that it also has been inspirational for us for the one known as R has been a true knight who has polished his armor.
Is there another query at this time?
G: Q’uo, in the seeking of truth, could you comment on which of these two attitudes is more likely to be effective. A) The action of the seeker to seek after their own identity, that is, to commit themselves to the doing of the seeking of that identity, or B) To not necessarily search it out but to claim that knowing of identity—to affirm and state, “I know who I am.” If you could respond to any of that I would be most appreciative.
We are those of Q’uo, my brother, and are aware of your query. The question of knowing is no light question and certainly there are as many answers to the question of right knowledge as there are philosophers. To state boldly that which you know is an excellent thing. To state boldly that of which you are not sure is premature. No one but the individual involved can know when unsureness and questing become absolute certainty within the self. One of the best ways to discover the degree of one’s certainty is to ask the self if one would take a stance that might involve dying for taking that stance. If something is that which important enough to die for, this instrument has often said, then it is important enough to live for. This is one way of asking the self mentally how sure one is. Would one die for this principle? Would one die to be this entity?
May we answer you further, my brother?
G: No, excellent, thank you, Q’uo.
We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query at this time?
G: Q’uo, in your knowledge of all the many spiritual paths on this planet that all lead to one place, is there, in general, ever a point where a seeker needs to state what “price” they are willing to pay? Is there ever a price that needs to be decided upon before illumination or greater self-knowledge comes?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, if one gazes upon the archetypal images upon which the one known as G has been gazing recently, the material is rich in suggestion that the willingness to pay a price is a legitimate and even necessary part of an archetypal movement. This entity has recently seen that motion picture which is called Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. And this entity indeed was asked what he would pay to express truth. This entity was not at first entirely settled in its mind that it was ready to pay that price. Yet it truly wished, as was expressed within the motion picture, to “make all things new.” And that which made all things new, in this entity’s way of thinking, was worth dying for. In this movement, this entity embraced that which eventually was indeed the physical death. Yet the story goes on to say that this price, having been paid, was redeemed and indeed was not price so much as gift; and the entity known as Jesus was not simply victim but also priest.
So, consequently the question, “What would you pay for this?” is that question which is as an archetypal key turner, that which changes energy, that which creates a bond between the self and the intention and indeed, in that way of thinking, and in those circumstances, it is indeed a legitimate and just query.
May we answer you further, my brother?
G: I’ll have to look that over. Thank you, Q’uo.
We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there a final query at this time?
G: Q’uo, in the Law of One series they talked about the initiation that one goes through when one enters into the pyramid, and Ra says, I believe, that it’s in the Queen’s Chamber that the “being must be centered upon the Creator,” or there must be a commitment made to center the being upon the seeking of the Creator. While I don’t expect direction from you, I believe that the seeking/centering of which they speak comes from within. Is that centering of the self upon the Creator the type of centering that is seen in saints—those people who spend every waking moment thinking about the Creator in adoration, and reverence, and worship, those who spend their time both in silence and conversing with the Creator in all ways inner and outer—is that something of what Ra meant by the centering of the being upon the seeking of the Creator?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, that would be one way of expressing such intention and devotion. The concept of devotion, we believe, is that with which you struggle at this time. There are as many ways to express devotion as there are ways of serving the Creator. For many, the ways of devotion are very ascetic and have almost no emotional aspects to them. For others, there is an almost hysterical amount of emotion within devotion. It depends upon the personality shell of each seeker in terms of what practice or daily rule of devotion, of keeping oneself fixed upon the Creator, will be most efficacious. For some, it as with this instrument, the daily reminders of morning and evening meditation and reading of spiritual material are helpful. For others, it is very much a twenty-four-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, experience of being lead from moment to moment, always within the feeling of being in direct contact with the one infinite Creator. There are many ways of expressing devotion. There are many levels and kinds of devotion, and we encourage the one known as G to play with those feelings that he finds within the self, finding how his focus is honed and sharpened; finding how his particular emotional set is affected; finding how his particular “savage breast” can be soothed—whether by music or by art, by beautiful words or by silence.
May we answer you further my brother?
G: No, thank you for being with us, Q’uo.
We are those of Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother, and thank each for the privilege of being able to share thoughts with you at this time. We would at this time leave each as we found you, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
This morning I went outside and used my leaf rake and backpack blower to move the crushed rock from the corner of my neighbor’s yard into piles that I then used my shovel to put in buckets and spread onto the parking area in front of my pet cemetery. This crushed rock was under the foot of snow of a month ago when I hired a snow removal company to remove the snow from the parking areas, but they didn’t put the snow and crushed rock in the pet cemetery as I asked them to, so now that the warm weather has melted the snow/ice I have finally got it out of my neighbor’s yard.
This afternoon I was on a zoom meet with Daniel Hodapp, Gabriel Luzo, and members of their Berlin Study Group. I was honored to be asked a variety of questions that focused on the Law of One. I enjoyed making my best effort to answer the questions in the best way that I could, and I am looking forward to our next zoom meet.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
February 23
Blessedness
I am the living Spirit of divine Love, and I greet you in the blessed name of Jesus the Christ.
Has the concept of “blessed” touched your life, your thoughts, and your feelings in the last little while? Does the sweep of your life include consecration? We surely hope that it may.
And if it does not, we who speak of divine Love and bear the consciousness of that Love urge each seeker to gaze in faith upon the blessedness of that which lies before you this day. For each moment is sanctified to the sanctified eye, ear, and heart.
Surely, we who came to comfort shall comfort still and be with each. And if blessedness is escaping your consciousness, turn within and ask in humility to be shown that vision of beatitude which lies within each event which comes before you.
For those who act are all blessedly loved by the Divine Consciousness which is Love. That Love strives to move into a world of illusion and shadow. May your consciousness of blessedness lighten the area about you. May your vision, given by grace and produced by your will to worship, bless in turn all those about you.
We leave you in peace, that undergirding strength of lLve divine, 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.
