I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 18, 2004:
Our question today has to do with the purpose of third density. As entities are graduated from the second density, where the way of being is the group mind, they come into third density with the opportunity of individuating, of developing an individualized consciousness that will be able to aid its own evolution by the choices that it makes, free will choices, and we would like Q’uo to give us information about how this individuation then will lead into another kind of group mind, a social memory complex, and maybe a little bit of information about how the group mind of second density differs from the social memory complex that we’re moving towards as the result of the individual choices that we make in the third density. So, could Q’uo give us a kind of overview of how this all works, of how the nature of the choice, the intention behind the choice, where does the metaphysical or magical personality come in here? We would appreciate anything you could tell us about how third density works.
(Carla channeling)
We are of 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. We thank you for calling us to your group to talk about the function of the third-density experience, and we are delighted to share our opinions upon this subject, with the request beforehand to each of you to guard your powers of discrimination well. We would ask that each of you be responsible for that which you take in and that which you leave behind. We cannot possibly hit the mark on all of our remarks. Some of them are bound to be useless to each of you. We ask you not to take them in without considering carefully whether they resonate in your own process and whether they feel like something that you might have forgotten but knew all along. If it feels like that, and resonates, then it is your truth for this particular point in your particular process. Otherwise, it perhaps bears no use whatsoever and would be best left behind. If you each will guard your free will and the processes by which you take in new concepts and make them your own, we will feel free to speak our mind. We thank each of you for allowing us this consideration.
Often the Confederation channels with which this group has long been associated have called third density, the density of choice. It is a vivid, intense, rather brief period, in cosmic terms, during which an entity, as the question suggests, moves in consciousness from the consciousness of late second-density life-forms, such as your predecessor, the great ape, to the nascent life-form of an entity with a fourth-density body and fourth-density lessons to learn. In between that second-density experience of the animal kingdom and the vegetable and mineral worlds, and the experience of the density of love or understanding or compassion, lies the density of choice. That is the experience within which you are immersed at this time.
It is undoubtedly an experience that has not been tranquil, entirely, nor an experience in which the shape of the life has seemed at all times appropriate and desirable. It is an experience of artifice and illusion. One could almost call it a day at the carnival. And yet it is a carnival whose every ride has a carefully designed purpose and whose grounds are laid out in such a way as to provide an infinitely responsive feedback system to echo and intensify thoughts and desires that have more than a transitory value. It is an environment couched in forgetfulness. That is to say that a requirement for preparation to enter third density is the requirement to place in safe-keeping the detailed memory of that metaphysical or time/space world from which you came in order to enter incarnation in third density.
Regardless of the density from which you came, whether it was from second density into third, or from a higher density, looping back into third density, for more work within that crucible, the preconditions of entering third density are alike. That direct knowledge, or as this instrument would say, gnosis of the Creator and of the self as an integral part of the Creator, must be placed aside, and the veil of forgetting must drop, so that each entity that comes into third density comes into it blind and without the possibility of sight, in a very specific way; that being that, in terms of metaphysical as opposed to physical process, there is a carefully structured environment in which hints will constantly be given concerning the nature of that underlying ground of being which has been veiled over by the veil of forgetting, while keeping any sort of objective proof from muddying the waters of unknowing. There is a determined bias within the Creator, concerning this particular third density, towards keeping entities as much in the dark as possible concerning the way things really are underneath the appearance of things. It is a recipe that is designed to be confusing, frustrating, maddening, and displacing.
It is felt, as the harvest of many experiences, that while more information and a more transparent third density is a more comfortable experience, in the end it is a more confusing, a less effective, and a less viable third-density experience in terms of serving as the ambiance within which seeking souls are able, consciously, to affect an acceleration of their learning and evolution. The third-density experience of this particular planet is extremely vivid. The consensus reality/illusion is extremely heavy, and it is correspondingly difficult to penetrate. This means that there is great potential for experiencing intense emotions and desires. It is the production of these things: the feelings, the biases, the various elements of a person’s make-up, that the environment of third density is designed to bring into greater and greater relief, so that each seeking entity has complete free will to look at the experience of living in any way that is chosen.
The group question for this session was: “We would like Q’uo to give us information about how this individuation then will lead into another kind of group mind, a social memory complex, and maybe a little bit of information about how the group mind of second density differs from the social memory complex that we’re moving towards as the result of the individual choices that we make in the third density. So, could Q’uo give us a kind of overview of how this all works, of how the nature of the choice, the intention behind the choice, where does the metaphysical or magical personality come in here? We would appreciate anything you could tell us about how third density works.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that the Confederation has called third density the density of choice, and it is an intense and brief period during which we move in consciousness from the late second-density life-forms such as the great ape to the beginning life-form of an entity with a fourth-density body and fourth-density lessons to learn, and in between that second-density experience of the animal kingdom, the vegetable, and mineral worlds, and the experience of the fourth density of love and understanding is the density of choice, and that is the experience within which we are immersed at this time. Q’uo went on to say that this is an experience that has not been peaceful nor an experience in which our life has been desirable because it is an experience of an illusion that we could call a day at the carnival where every ride has a carefully designed purpose and whose grounds are laid out in such a way as to provide an infinitely responsive feedback system to intensify our thoughts and desires, and it is an environment based in forgetfulness where there is a requirement for our preparation to enter third density to place in safe-keeping our detailed memory of that time/space world from which we came in order to enter incarnation in third density. Q’uo continued by saying that regardless of the density from which we came, the preconditions of entering third density are alike, and that knowledge of the Creator and of ourself as an integral part of the Creator must be placed aside, and the veil of forgetting must drop so that each of us that comes into third density comes into it blind in a specific way that, in terms of metaphysical as opposed to physical process, there is a carefully structured environment in which hints will be given concerning the nature of that underlying ground of our being which has been hidden by the veil of forgetting, while keeping any sort of objective proof from muddying the waters of unknowing because there is a bias within the Creator concerning the third density towards keeping us as much in the dark as possible regarding the way things really are underneath the appearance of things, and it is a recipe that is designed to be confusing. Then Q’uo said that it is felt that while a more transparent third density is a more comfortable experience, in the end it is a less viable third-density experience in terms of serving as the environment within which we are able to affect an acceleration of our learning and evolution, and the third-density illusion of this planet is extremely heavy so that it is hard to penetrate which means that there is great potential for our experiencing intense emotions and desires because it is the production of our feelings, biases, and the various elements of our character make-up that the third density is designed to bring into greater relief so that each of us has complete free will to look at the experience of living in any way that we choose. On April 6, 1997, Q’uo spoke about our experience of living:
We are not suggesting that each entity forbid the self to think, or to reason, or to order the chores and duties of the day. Rather, we encourage each to allow the self to become more and more open to the experience of living in two worlds at once. That life upon dry land is the life that retrieves the salary in order to feed the self, that keeps the self covered, and fed, and housed. Yet this self does not deny but rather is completed by that unmanifest and always mysterious self that is too large for words or concepts, for each of you is an immense and many-storied citizen of eternity.
As each entity opens to that dual existence and finds it easier and easier to slip between the two back and forth, each will find the experience of living more rhythmic and more able to flow. There are many, many ways to see the spiritual path. Almost always it is envisioned as a circular journey and we might even suggest that it is the journey of no movement whatsoever, for if all things are one where is there to go, for one is always within the creation, and the creation is kept like a precious gem within the heart of each which seeks the ways of love. So, we encourage each to be able to flow through the water, to dive deep, to enjoy the ocean and to find ways new every day, for this is very true: that each moment is unique, and each is born new through each sleeping and awakening again.
The Creator does not have to hope that something will occur because the experience of all previous creations has been that evolution is inevitable; change is inevitable. It may be change regressing towards the density left behind, or it may be change progressing towards the density ahead, but it is impossible for entities to remain completely stable. They must create novelty; they must move. That is the restless and insatiable nature of consciousness itself. It shall, by the machinations of endless free will, always have that curiosity about what else there may be to learn that pulls the entity onward, whether the entity is considered in terms of the microcosm or macrocosm. So, each of you dwells now within a school that is carefully designed to give each entity its hard knocks on a regular basis. Not in order to indicate the cruelty or the judgment of the creative principle, but to create a schooling atmosphere in which entities are self-schooled by their own hand, by their own mind, by their own perceived problems and solutions.
Nowlet us look at this word “choice.” What happens in terms of how third density functions as each entity comes to choices? This is a true key word for this density. Choice is at the center of learning here. For upon the choice of polarity rests the work of the next few millennia, the next few million years, shall we say, from your point of view. What is the nature of choice? From the second-density point of view, from the hive-mind, shall we say, choice has a certain cast in nature which may be understood best by seeing that species of animals and of plants have a common pool of being. The spirits that create growth and life using the elements of the Creator that have been provided, such as seeds and sunlight, are able to dip into this pool of type, or kind, and create specimens of that kind. These entities are created with a kind of consciousness that has a great deal of information in it, which is copied from the pool as a whole rather than being taken from any individual within the species. Consequently, it may be assumed, unless an animal, for instance, has had a great deal to do with humans who have altered the second-density programming for that animal, that an animal will act according to the actions of its species. While there are always rogues in any species that do not act according to the species, for the most part, one is dealing, in an animal of second density, with an entity that is making choices according to the choices programmed into its kind.
When an entity graduates from second density to third, it becomes an entity which has not been taken out of a pool of consciousness but rather must stand upon its own very shaky legs of individuality. It is still equipped with the second-density information but with the veil of forgetting over most of it. So, in a way it has lost a great deal of valuable ground. Things that were obvious to second-density animals, because there was no conscious mentation in the genetic programming, become not at all obvious to an entity who is programmed heavily towards conscious and individualized thought. In other words, a third-density entity has complete freedom of will built into it.
Now when you gaze at an entity that has just entered third density, you are gazing at an entity who does not know what to do with free will. It does not know that it is free. It does not know that it was, at one time, pent in a cage of generic assumptions; and in fact, it may still be acting upon many of those assumptions, for they are part of the instinctual package that is dimly remembered if not clearly recalled. When such a third-density pioneer begins to make choices, they are likely to be made according to second-density programming. In other words, a choice of action will generally be decided to protect the self and the tribe, or the family, and to secure for that family the resources necessary for its survival. While this is simple and even elementary programming, at the same time, the tentacles of the instinct for survival being so many and so far reaching, that simple programming may indeed control a large amount of the life decisions of an early third-density entity.
Q’uo said the Creator does not have to hope that something will occur because the experience of all previous creations has been that change is inevitable, and it may be change regressing towards the density left behind, or it may be change progressing towards the density ahead, but it is impossible for us to remain stable because we must create novelty since this is the restless nature of our consciousness itself, and because of our free will we will always have that curiosity about what else there may be to learn that pulls us onward, so each of us dwells within a school that is designed to give us its hard knocks on a regular basis–not in order to indicate the cruelty of the creative principle–but to create a schooling atmosphere in which we are self-schooled by our own mind, and our own problems, and solutions. Then Q’uo said in the third density choice is at the center of learning, for upon the choice of polarity rests the work of the next few million years from our point of view, and the nature of choice from the second-density point of view may be understood by seeing that animals and plants have a common pool of being because the spirits that create growth and life use the elements of the Creator, such as seeds and sunlight, are able to dip into this pool of type and create entities a kind of consciousness that have a great deal of information in them, which is copied from the pool as a whole rather than being taken from any individual within the species so that it may be assumed, unless an animal has had a great deal to do with humans who have altered the second-density programming, that an animal will act according to the actions of its species although there are always rogues in any species that do not act according to the species, but when we are dealing with an animal of second density, we are dealing with an entity that is making choices according to the choices programmed into its kind. Q’uo went on to say that when an entity graduates from second density to third density it must stand upon its own shaky legs of individuality because it is still equipped with the second-density information but with the veil of forgetting over most of it so that it has lost a great deal of valuable ground, and things that were obvious to the second-density animal, because there was no conscious thought in the genetic programming, are not obvious to an entity who is programmed towards consciousness and thought, so a third-density entity has complete freedom of will built into it. Q’uo continued by saying that when we gaze at an entity that has just entered third density, we are gazing at an entity who does not know what to do with free will, and it does not know that at one time it was caught in a series of generic assumptions, and it may still be acting upon many of those assumptions, for they are part of the instinctual package that is dimly remembered, and when such a third-density pioneer begins to make choices, they are likely to be made according to second-density programming to protect the self and the family, and while this is simple programming the instinct for survival being so far reaching, that simple programming may indeed control a large amount of the life decisions of an early third-density entity. On January 2, 1983, Latwii described the general nature of the veil of forgetting:
Each of you, as we have said, moves within an illusion. The veil of forgetting is drawn so that it is not possible for a clear perception of the nature of your unity with all things to be known to you. Therefore, you learn through being attached, shall we say. You learn by desiring, by sowing the seeds of wishes. Do you then draw unto yourself those events to fulfill the wishes? By observing your response to such events, your emotions may be discovered to be positive or negative, and by achieving the balance within the self of each emotional response, the entity becomes what is called balanced or regularized according to the expression of each energy center or chakra. This then allows the entity to experience what various of your religious cultures have called the non-attached state of being. We might refer to this more clearly as a finely tuned type of compassion so that whatever catalyst the entity encounters, the entity is aware that it is seeing the Creator experiencing Itself. And the entity’s response is love, compassion and understanding. This is the balance which has been spoken of by the description of detachment.
Slowly, usually, through a series of many incarnations, the third-density entity begins to develop a core sense of self that returns with a bit more strength from incarnation to incarnation so that there is not quite as much veil as there used to be, and at some point, there is the experience of awakening. That awakening is an awakening to the possibilities that are, as this instrument would say according to the modern idiom, “outside the box.” Now the box is simply the generic assumptions given in second density that have been accepted by the third-density entity. Society, as this instrument knows it and as each of you know it within your Western civilization, retains a great many of the characteristics of late second-density structure. The family structure, the way society is organized into extended family systems and into those who ally for survival, are structures which retain second-density characteristics.
However, as entities begin to awaken, they begin to see something very important for third-density work: that awakening begins when the realization occurs that the choice is not either/or. The choices are infinite. When the viewpoint begins to expand, when the mountain first disappears and then reappears, then that third-density soul begins to see that it is not a matter of becoming better at making choices, it is a matter of becoming more able to see the full range of choices. To see that it is not, for instance, a choice between belief in a creative principle and a belief in no creative principle. Rather the choice is an infinite range of possibilities concerning the Godhead principle. There is the movement from a very firmly vectored angle of attack at things in making decisions to an increasingly loose, rounded, and multi-directional way of looking at the present moment. It has often been noted in the conversations with this group that so many things are interconnected, and that information is available virtually in everything that you lay your eyes on. The question then becomes, “What is that object, that word, that person, that catalyst actually attempting to tell you?” And as the third-density soul begins to grow in its maturity, it begins to realize the endless and infinite gradations of meaning that can be received when one peels away any present moment to see layer, after layer, after layer of insight, suggested, hinted at, sparkling on the wind, glistening in the trees—just waiting for the connection of heart and attention. The choice, then, is not simply a choice in a certain situation but, even more so, a choice of attitude, a choice of how to be, how to stand, how to express one’s essence in the most full and honest way.
There is another key word that we would look at and that is “individuation.” It was part of your query, and it is a very tricky concept from a metaphysical point of view. Many times this instrument has tried to respond in letters to questions from people concerning whether it is service to self or service to others to take time for the self to learn, to study, and to begin to become familiar with the self deeply and to know the self in a non-transient manner. There is tremendous validity in this process of individuation, of researching and learning the self, and indeed this process will go on as long as the individual retains flesh and blood around that particular personality shell. It is, then, a process that is never completed. It is not intended to be completed. Rather it is one of the ways of learning to serve and to grow within the third-density atmosphere. Until one has individuated, one cannot begin magical work, and yet one is never fully individuated. So, logically speaking, one could never begin magical work.
Yet there is, shall we say, a critical mass only that needs to be reached, and it is by no means a large percentage of the actual available will of an entity. It is a very powerful thing to become aware of one’s own will and because of the use of it, even imperfectly, and even incorrectly, or without full knowledge, tremendous energies can be set in motion. So, the magical process begins to take place as soon as an entity begins to ask of the Creator, or of perceived guidance directly, “Who am I? Why am I here, and what would you have me do?” These kinds of queries are those that create a magical circumstance. Certainly, it is well to be as mature as one may be before asking such questions, and yet the glory of third density is that all are imperfect and yet all are asking those questions. These are the questions that drive third density.
Consequently, entities on the spiritual path are constantly asking for and getting much more information than they were prepared to deal with. Often, they do not recognize that they are receiving that which they requested and feel that there is no sense to the experience. Yet, that, too, becomes perfectly acceptable, for no matter how the experiences that have been created by the questions are used, they in turn shall be that which will create the seeds that are sown for the next generation of learning. And those seeds will fall into good soil and have the possibility of growth, regardless of whether one road or another road is taken. Regardless of the choices made, the result will be a net gain in understanding. So, it is in some ways a hard ambiance in which to learn and in other ways it is a very forgiving ambiance in that one cannot fail. One can become weary and rest, but one can always pick up the self when one feels again ready to enter the fray and again ask, and again receive the information, and again work with that information.
Then Q’uo said that through a series of many incarnations, we slowly begin to develop a sense of ourself that grows with more strength from incarnation to incarnation so that our veil thins, and at some point, there is the experience of awakening to the possibilities that are “outside the box” which are the common assumptions given in second density that have been accepted by us such as the family structure, the extended family systems, and into those who join together for survival, are structures which retain second-density characteristics. Q’uo went on to say that our awakening begins when we realize that our choices are infinite, and we begin to see that it is not a choice between belief in a creative principle and a belief in no creative principle, but our choice is an infinite range of possibilities concerning the Godhead principle so that there is the movement from a firmly vectored angle of attack at things in making decisions to an increasingly multi-directional way of looking at the present moment, and as we begin to grow in our maturity we begin to realize the infinite levels of meaning that can be received when we peel away any present moment to see layers of insight sparkling on the wind and glistening in the trees, waiting for the connection of our heart and attention so that our choice is not simply a choice in a certain situation but a choice of how to express our essence in the most full and honest way. Q’uo continued by saying that they wanted to look at the word “individuation”because it is a tricky concept from a metaphysical point of view, so they said that Carla has been asked if it is service to self or service to others to take time for us to learn and to begin to know ourself in a stable manner, and there is validity in this process of individuation, of researching and learning about ourself, and this process will go on for the rest of our lives because it is not intended to be completed since it is one of the ways of learning to serve and to grow within the third-density atmosphere, and until we have individuated, we cannot begin magical work, and yet we are never fully individuated, so logically speaking we could never begin magical work. Now Q’uo said that there is a critical mass that needs to be reached, and is a powerful thing to become aware of our will, and even if we use it imperfectly tremendous energies can be set in motion, so the magical process begins to take place as soon as we begin to ask of the Creator: “Who am I? Why am I here, and what would you have me do?” These kinds of queries are those that create a magical circumstance. Certainly, it is well to be as mature as one may be before asking such questions, and yet the glory of third density is that all are imperfect and yet all are asking those questions. These are the questions that drive third density.” Now Q’uo said that we are constantly asking for and getting much more information than we were prepared to deal with, and often we do not recognize that we are receiving that which we requested and feel that there is no sense to the experience, but that becomes acceptable because no matter how our experiences that have been created by our questions are used, they shall be that which will create the seeds that are sown for our next generation of learning, and those seeds will fall into good soil and have the possibility of growth regardless of the choices made, so the result will be a net gain in understanding, but it is a hard way in which to learn, and in other ways it is a very forgiving feeling that we cannot fail, and we can become weary and rest, but we can always pick ourself up when we feel ready ask, and then receive the information and work with it. On May 26, 2018, Q’uo said that we always have the possibility of growth:
This is a statement which is somewhat veiled itself, which suggests that as the veil of forgetting becomes more permeable in these last days of your planet’s third density, then entities are able to see light in those darkened areas of the fertile soil of their own being as well as the planet’s being. This was a, shall we say, metaphor not meant to point directly at the dirt, shall we say, but at the fertile circumstances that are everywhere present but frequently unused by entities who are unaware of the possibility of growth that is possible when the fertile conditions of one’s being, and the spiritual surroundings of the planet itself, are utilized for the purpose of making the harvest, or opening the heart, shall we say. Thus, the soil is that which has been unused within the environment of many third-density entities, the environment in which they live and move and have their being.
As the soul of third density begins to live consciously and make choices from a more aware standpoint as regards its own essence, the ability to do magical work increases, and entities begin to have an inkling of what it is like to be a part of a living organism that has more than one center of consciousness. Many times this is first encountered in the small groups connected with family, that lucky family that happens to have a spiritual connection and experiences a common dedication to that which is beyond them. This occurs often in musical families, or in families of scholarship, or in healers such as medical doctors. These are the first nascent experiences of thinking as individuals, and yet as one group, working as one, unified for a goal, whether it is to make music, to solve a complicated medical problem, or to resolve a fascinating scientific question.
It is seldom, however, found that entities are able to enter into the unity of fourth density while within third-density bodies. And we note this present group, in attempting to create a fourth-density consciousness within its group, is indeed attempting that which is only marginally possible. Yet at the same time, the attempt not only creates a greatly advantageous learning situation for those attempting such a thing, it also creates, as the one known as V has suggested, that place where fourth-density qualities may dwell, survive and thrive. These kinds of desires to create heaven on Earth will hone and polish the honesty of each entity and will, if followed carefully, create a growing awareness of the fluidity and flexibility of truth.
The late third-density entity then, the one who is ready for graduation, is an entity who knows itself well enough that it is ready to open itself completely to the offerings of all other entities with which it shall work. It has re-entered a group mind, but it is not the same as any other of that group mind; rather, it is appreciated by the group for its flavors, no matter how harsh or pungent they may be. The group will use that uniqueness where it is needed according to the genius of that group. It is very difficult for a third-density entity even to believe in, much less experience, the power of the oversoul of a group and yet as soon as two entities make a true bond, there is a group soul. As soon as three entities are able to unify to a certain critical mass there is a group spirit, just as there is one to the L/L Research attendees that has grown over a period now of some 40 years and it is a very real source of guidance to those who call upon it.
There are potential training wheels available for a nascent fourth-density type constructed at this time simply because this group has continued for a long period of time to attempt to unify itself, more and more, so that all within the group are attempting to serve together. There is a tremendous collaboration in service and in learning that comes into being as fourth-density ways are taken over from third density and at this time within your planet’s experience, these possibilities for fourth-density structures and interactions become more and more viable as, as the one known as Bob Dylan said, “The times they are a changin’.” The energy is changing; the vibration is changing; and fuller love is possible. What choices shall you make? What polarity do you wish to study? This is the great choice and there is no issue too large or too small to contain grist for the mill and information that will be helpful in pursuing those choices.
Now Q’uo said as our soul of third density begins to live consciously and make choices from a more aware standpoint as regards our own essence, the ability to do magical work increases, and we begin to have an idea of what it is like to be a part of a living organism that has more than one center of consciousness, and many times we first encounter this in groups connected with our family that happens to have a spiritual connection to that which is beyond them, and this occurs often in musical families or in families of healers such as medical doctors so that these are the first experiences of thinking as individuals that are working as one whether it is to make music or to resolve a scientific question. Q’uo went on to say that it is seldom that we are able to enter into the unity of fourth density while within third-density bodies, and at the same time, the attempt not only creates a learning situation for those attempting such a thing, it also creates that place where fourth-density qualities may survive and thrive and these kinds of desires to create heaven on Earth will enhance the honesty of each of us and will create a growing awareness of the fluidity and flexibility of truth. Q’uo continued by saying that the things that separate us within third density are those things which are assumed, and some assumptions must be made in order to function and to make powerful changes in our consciousness and the purity of our desire to stand in the Light of Love, to be unified with the higher forces of Love, and this is a fast track that enables us to bring ourself into an atmosphere of change and energizing our learning by conscious dedication, and any time we attempt to do light work and to serve as a beacon, that choice brings into us into a time of testing, and it is a self-governing system that must operate as it does in order for our free will to be preserved and in order for our choices to be tested because a choice tends to move to another choice so that it is a spiraling system that builds upon itself. Now Q’uo said that as late third-density entities we are ready for graduation because we know ourself well enough that we are ready to open ourself completely to the offerings of all other entities with whom we shall work, and we have re-entered a group mind which will use its uniqueness where it is needed according to the genius of that group so that it is very difficult for us even to believe in the power of the oversoul of a group, and yet as soon as two entities make a true bond, there is a group soul: “and as soon as three entities are able to unify to a certain critical mass there is a group spirit, just as there is one to the L/L Research attendees that has grown over a period now of some 40 years and it is a very real source of guidance to those who call upon it.” Q’uo completed their reply by saying that there are potential training wheels available for us as the beginning fourth-density seeker that have been created because this group has continued to attempt to unify itself so that all within the group are attempting to serve together, and there is a collaboration in service and in learning that comes into being as fourth-density ways are taken over from third density, and at this time within our planet’s experience these possibilities for fourth-density structures, and the energy is changing so that a fuller love is possible, and all this depends upon the choices we will make of polarity which is the greatest choice that we can make. On April 21, 1996, Q’uo spoke of the choice of polarity is of great importance:
There are many, many kinds of personalities which have formed around free will and individual expression of this will. It is inevitable that there will be conflict and confusion, for the free will expression of personal identity is an activity that third-density entities are liable to use with or without discrimination, and yet the expression of this free will is central to all choices made and most importantly central to the choice of polarity that is the gift of this density. Thus, each entity is in its own way attempting to carve out that vehicle of personality that shall carry it to those places it wishes to go.
This instrument informs us that we have talked as long as we should upon one subject, and that it is time to open the meeting to further questions, and so we would at this time do so and ask if there is a question at this time?
B: Q’uo, in a case where the messenger becomes more important than the message, what can the messenger do to correct the situation and bring the focus back to the message?
We are those of Q’uo, and we appreciate your query, my brother. It is a well-known phenomenon that often the face or the symbol of a very good thing may become mistaken for that quality, and indeed there are times when the face must disappear. The technique of that disappearance is always at the choice of the entity who wishes to become less important. However the underlying difficulty is that difficulty of the easy versus the difficult, the obvious versus the subtle, the simplistic versus the real.
May we answer you further, my brother?
B: Are you aware of any specific techniques perhaps used by others in such a situation that could be helpful in understanding this?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We are aware of many techniques. However, we find that this query runs very close to conscious work done by several of those present and therefore we run up against the bounds of free will. It is not acceptable to teach/learn for another.
May we answer you further my brother?
B: No, that’s it, thank you.
Q’uo: Is there a further query at this time?
D: I had a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time. Are our prayers for blessings and guidance for the deceased a practice that is worthwhile?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Prayer of any kind is a very good idea in that it places one in the heart and places one in conversation with the Godhead principle. Both of these are greatly desired orientations for spiritual seeking.
We would say perhaps the most skillful way to discuss blessings with the infinite Creator is to acknowledge them, for there are many blessings that abound even in the harshest circumstance. The attitude of thanksgiving, and the claiming of great matters for which to be thankful are, as this instrument would say, a good idea. That attitude of affirming perfection as opposed to asking for blessings is the difference between knowing and being a needy child, asking for help. In one situation there is the claiming of the self as part of all that there is; in the other there is a separation between the asker and the one who has been asked. However, in general terms, any time that there is conversation with the Creator, it is a very positive and helpful resource upon which to draw.
May we answer you further my brother?
D: The general purpose of my question was more towards the deceased friends and loved ones. Does this apply in that area?
We are those of Q’uo, and this is correct, my brother. Is there a further query?
G: Q’uo, How does an entity in third density become qualified to serve as a higher agent, as a messenger of a message of service which is intended to be for your best and highest interest but which is given in what I would call a negative nature?
We are those of Q’uo, and are not grasping your query, my brother. Could you ask it in another way?
G: Reading your highest words, I feel that opening the heart to another, accepting another unconditionally, and learning how to love is the crux of this density. I believe an entity may be mistaken to appoint themselves to a role in which they can administer a negative form of catalyst. So how does an entity, if an entity can indeed properly do this in a balanced manner, become so qualified? What in their being (experiential learning) makes this a balanced and loving service?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The ways of teachers and students do not run so much upon qualification as upon the movement of essence. Entities move into those roles for which they have a feeling. The question of qualification is not one which can apply for there is no system of qualification for spiritual work. It is truly a matter of each individual moving upon its own rhythms and upon its own track and attempting to serve as best as it may.
Consequently, all are teachers, and all are students, and all may indeed, in the process of expressing themselves, create negative catalyst for others, yet it is not upon the basis of qualification that such actions could be justified. Indeed, the concept of balance is perhaps helpful rather than the concept of justification.
May we answer you further, my brother?
G: Can an entity indeed act on your highest best, giving catalyst of a negative nature, and do that in a balanced manner?
Q’uo: We use the term of the one known as V and say, “Unknown, Captain.” For indeed, you ask a question that we cannot answer. It moves us past the boundaries of free will, and we apologize but cannot go further than we have.
Is there another question, my brother?
G: Not on that particular topic. Thank you, Q’uo.
Q’uo: We thank you, my brother. Is there a final query at this time?
T: Q’uo, if you are able to answer without infringing upon my free will, are you able to offer any suggestions on how I may be able to better learn from the experiences of… times when I needed patience and tolerance?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. The lessons of patience and tolerance are lessons that are slow, my brother. And therefore, we encourage that feeling that you have for water to come forth for you, to picture within yourself the slow, slow movement of the breaking up of the ice of judgment and narrowness. Do not force the ice to melt, for it is spring, my brother, and the ice will melt. Rather, allow that process to take place even though it feels as if it were breaking you apart. For truly your nature must change from crystallized water to liquid water and from orthogonal angles to the spherical drops of the flowing water in which all things are able to rub along comfortably and make room for each other, whereas the crystallized nature of the ice is such that it must have a certain structure in order to exist in that form at all. You are experiencing, when you ask yourself to relax into non-judgment and patience, to move from that frozen condition to the liquid condition in which you do not have control such as you would feel that you had when you had that right-angled structure of the ice and its crystalline nature. It is not that you change from a crystalline nature. Water also is a crystal, yet it is able to radiate in a different way and is able to accept different structures in an enhanced way without disturbing its own nature.
May we answer you further, my brother?
T: No, thank you Q’uo, that’s very helpful.
Q’uo: We thank you, my brother, and we thank each of those who has attended this group this day. We thank you for putting aside this time and for putting aside the daily grind and the concerns that have been on your hearts, simply to empty the self and to come into that place where questions are asked. It is hoped that resources have been added to your arsenal.
We leave each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai, my friends.
This morning I vacuumed the first floor of my home, and then I ran an errand to The Home Depot to buy some netting that I plant to use this afternoon.
This afternoon I took down all of the netting around the fishpond because there were torn places here and there that might provide a place for a racoon to get in and try to eat my goldfish. After I took all of the old netting off I hooked the new netting onto the same nails on the top framework of the fishpond and then wove the blue clothesline rope in a zigzag style to let birds know not to try to fly into the netting and get caught in it.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
February 28
Seeing Shadows
I am of the principle of the consciousness of Love, and I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ.
A shadow of sadness lies at the edge of the illusory consciousness of many pilgrims who have not the grace either to forgive or to forget the trials of the past. This shadow is a habit of mind inimicable to the consciousness of Love, for in Love there is the freedom of the peaceful consistency of wholeness with no shadow or variation of any kind.
Yet blame not your eyes, your mind, or your heart for perceiving shadows in past, present and future. But when perceiving those shadows, know that by definition they are an illusion to be governed and balanced by the consciousness of Love.
We leave you in the peace of wholeness, now and always. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
