I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from May 2, 2004:
The question today has to do with catalyst and determining what our catalyst is. We would like to have some information upon how we can determine what it is that is catalyst in our life and what we should be focusing on. The second part of the question has to do with the way catalyst can be processed: when it is successful, it seems as though the success comes from being able to look at the catalyst with a light touch; being able to look at it as catalyst and develop a certain sort of tolerance and patience with it as you work with it. And catalyst which has gone awry, as Ra said, tends to cause in us the feelings of frustration and anger and doubt and depression. So we would like for Q’uo to give us a bit of information about how to stay on the track where we develop the qualities of tolerance and patience and how to avoid the frustration and anger.

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we are. It is a great privilege and blessing to be called to your group this day, and we thank you with all our hearts. To be able to be a part of your meditation and to share our thoughts with you is, to us, a powerful help, as it enables us to share our service as we hoped to do when we chose to undertake this time among your peoples. It has never been more pleasurable to undertake service to those of planet Earth than when we speak with this particular group, and we thank you for maintaining the eagerness and the openness for truth that creates the vibration which calls us to you. As always, we would ask, in order to preserve free will, that each of you guard your own powers of discrimination carefully and use them well as you listen to those things which we would say to you this day. It is important to us that you realize that we are not authorities but rather your companions upon the way.
Your query this day is interesting to us, and we thank you for asking us to speak upon the subject of catalyst. The message which we have to offer to those who would hear our voice remains very simple. There is a vibratory nature to creation. And the various fields of energy which comprise all of the complex parts of all of your bodies, be they physical or metaphysical, vibrate at a certain, shall we say, series of harmonics which, in total, add up to the complex of vibrations which is as an orchestra playing your song. We recognize each entity’s melody fairly well. It is a signature like no other in its completeness. So, each of you is a vibration that is at some harmonic, in general, with those about you, with the groups that comprise your planetary sphere and with the Creator and the creation as a whole. These vibrations are disturbed, or changed, by any number of stimuli, on any number of levels, speaking of the physical body, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the inner bodies all together.
Catalyst, then, is a term to use to describe that which, while being unchanged, creates changes in this complex of energy fields and the vibrations thereof. Within a chemical experiment, there is a little arrow that is used to indicate that catalyst only goes one way. A chemical reaction does not go forwards and backwards, it only goes forwards, and so it is with the catalyst that you experience. One cannot look back. One cannot go back. One cannot possibly repeat one’s experiences. One shall indeed meet each experience again, but it is a spiral of experience and catalyst, and experience and catalyst, and each time you meet the same type or class of catalyst you have a new opportunity to recognize the catalyst, to locate the trigger of the catalyst, to examine the equation of the catalyst: what is going into the chemical experiment, what’s being “cooked,” and what comes out at the other end. And you have the opportunity, if you choose to use the will and the discipline to take it, to alter by removing various, shall we say, chemicals of your emotions, your thoughts, and your triggers, thereby changing the equation and changing the result of this particular little experiment in the life of your self.
Now let us look at this model a bit more closely. We use the term, trigger, to describe the action of catalyst. A catalyst comes into the purview of the being. It does not come into the ambient environment of the entity on purpose. There is no innate consciousness to the way things occur from the level of their occurrence. There is a causative factor inherent in the carefully made agreements that were entered into before incarnation. Biases were set up in the very currents of destiny surrounding the particular nexus of energies that represents the opportunity for an incarnation. When the body and parents and so forth are chosen, this nexus becomes potentiated and that particular little destiny that is your pre-game game plan clicks into place and begins to unroll the scroll of space/time as you, as an entity, enter into a body, become embodied and enfleshed, take form by birth and begin to unravel the great tale that is the story of your life.
Every time you are able to identify the catalyst and the trigger within you that caused an otherwise harmless detail to become powerful in your life, you have learned about yourself and have begun to take responsibility for learning in a conscious way what you would inevitably learn without consciousness, no matter what, by the sheer pressure of repetition. Each time you are able to get on board with the game plan beforehand, or during the catalyst’s coming up, you become more able to retain your power. And eventually you become able to use that power wisely and with compassion. And this is particularly important regarding yourself. Although it is very helpful when you may achieve that same compassion for others, in the case of the identification and the working with catalyst, the primary player in the drama is the self and therefore the entity to be forgiven, accepted, and loved unconditionally is the self.
Wespeak in terms of power here. Because when catalyst causes one to react, the catalyst, innocent though it may be, and unasking of power as it is, has the power. It is only as a person begins to be able to see into the process of these repetitive, cyclical testings, or introductions of catalyst into the environment, that one begins to be able to settle into a relationship with catalyst which sees catalyst, destiny, and unexpected events in general, with an eagerness and a freshness of attitude that invites that which is to come and looks forward to the next lesson, the next test, the next introduction of discomfort into an otherwise serene atmosphere.
The group question for this session was: “The question today has to do with catalyst and determining what our catalyst is. We would like to have some information on how we can determine what it is that is catalyst in our life and what we should be focusing on. The second part of the question has to do with the way catalyst can be processed: when it is successful, it seems as though the success comes from being able to look at the catalyst with a light touch; being able to look at it as catalyst and develop a certain sort of tolerance and patience with it as you work with it.” Q’uo began their reply by saying the message which they had to offer was very simple, and that was that there is a vibratory nature to creation, and the fields of energy which include all of the complex parts of all of our bodies, be they physical or metaphysical, vibrate at a certain series of harmonics which add up to the complex of vibrations which is like an orchestra playing our song, and they recognized each entity’s melody because it is a unique signature, so each of us is a vibration that is in some harmony with those about us, with the groups of our planet, with the Creator, and the creation, and these vibrations can be changed by any number of stimuli, on any number of levels of our bodies: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and inner bodies. Q’uo went on to say that catalyst describes that which–while being unchanged–creates changes in our energy fields, and within a chemical experiment there is a little arrow that is used to indicate that catalyst only goes forward, and so it is with the catalyst that we experience because we cannot repeat our experiences, but we shall meet each experience again in a spiral of experience and catalyst, and each time we meet the same type catalyst we have a new opportunity to examine the equation of the catalyst: what is going into the chemical experiment, what’s being “cooked,” and what comes out at the other end, and we have the opportunity to use our will and discipline to remove chemicals of our emotions, thoughts, and triggers which change the equation and the result of this experiment in our life. Q’uo continued by saying that they use the term, trigger, to describe how catalyst comes into our being through carefully made agreements that we entered into before our incarnation when we set up the energies of our destiny that represent the opportunity for an incarnation when our body and parents are chosen, so that our pre-game game plan clicks into place and begins to unroll the scroll of space/time as we enter into a body and begin to unravel the great tale that is the story of our life. Now Q’uo said that one source of catalyst that is dependable is our higher self, or destiny, for there has been implanted within our game plan repetitive cycles of catalysts so that we may work with certain balances within one or more of our energy bodies since the inner work of our incarnation is in our energy bodies in the inner planes that are closer to the heart of why the Creator finds it useful to create beings such as we are. Q’uo said that is one source of catalyst so that as we can identify those repetitive types of catalyst that point to incarnational level lessons we can begin to see into the game plan as the person who planned all this, and certain things have slipped our mind, and if we can find this attitude in times of stress that we have forgotten some of the pattern, and now there is work for us to do, then we may do the work of identifying the catalyst and doing what we can to remove the trigger, then we have become far more a person of power than we were before. Q’uo said that every time we are able to identify the catalyst within us that caused a harmless detail to become powerful in our life, we have begun to take responsibility for learning about ourself in a conscious way what we would inevitably learn without consciousness by repetition, and each time we are able to begin our game plan before or during the catalyst’s coming up, we become more able to retain our power, and eventually we become able to use that power wisely and with compassion, and this is important because it is helpful when we may achieve that same compassion for others, in the identification and the working with catalyst because we are the primary player in our drama and the entity to be forgiven, accepted, and loved unconditionally is ourself. Then Q’uo said that they are speaking in terms of power because when catalyst causes us to react, the catalyst has the power, and it is only as we begin to see into the process of these repetitive introductions of catalyst into our environment that we begin to be able to settle into a relationship with catalyst which sees catalyst, destiny, and unexpected events in general with an eagerness of attitude that invites that which is to come, and we look forward to the next lesson of discomfort into an otherwise serene atmosphere. On April 26, 1996, Q’uo spoke about the source of catalyst in our lives:
Now, each path is open to the free will of the individual, but as that path unfolds each will be unable to avoid following the path, for it is not a straight path. It is often a roundabout and complex path, but all variations of your path lead you to the infinite Love of the one infinite Creator. No matter what general permutations of your path you choose you still are upon your path, for the path is more a journey of self than a journey within time and space.
These concepts are almost impossible to share using your language. We apologize if we seem to be vague. But it is deeply so, we believe, that you cannot ruin your path. You cannot fail to continue to have constant feedback from all experience that offers a constant and self-renewing source of catalyst to the self.
In the terms of movement there are times it feels well to race upon one’s path, and then we urge your feet to have wings. The cycle will contain those times when the body of emotions has been beaten and it needs to rest and recover, and in those times there will be the pausing upon the path. But all of the various moods that consist in the emotional weather of self are acceptable.
Within the confines of your illusion and the life which you experience consciously, awake and working with your day, there is a tremendous amount of power in becoming eager for that next piece of catalyst. When you at last find an appetite for change, for learning, for newness, then you are more able to invoke discipline when it would seem that difficult or unpleasant circumstances arise. Admittedly, as we gaze through this instrument’s recent recollections, we can see that it is not always an easy thing to create the environment for the self that is a safe environment for total honesty in looking at the catalyst of the self. It is often a lowering experience in terms of what this instrument would call, ego, to look into the mechanics or the psychology of the self, to see just how vulnerable the self is to catalyst which is at the level of the teenager or the child or even the toddler in some cases. And yet each entity retains all identities which have not proven themselves useless in terms of producing further learning.
So, until you as an entity are through, completely through, with learning all of the lessons that are possible to learn within incarnation, you shall, according to the prerequisites of your own game plan, receive the spiraling, cycling opportunities to react to the catalyst. It shall come around again and again. This is not a ploy to drive the spiritual seeker crazy. It is a necessary way of checking the self to see where the self truly is, where the feet come down on the road in any given incarnational lesson. Thusly, catalyst may eventually, in a certain way, become that which enters the consciousness, proceeds through the consciousness and walks out the other side without causing any reaction. The entity is still aware of the catalyst and still aware of its trigger, which speaks but not loudly enough for the self to take seriously, for it has been worked so often and so well that there is no longer the potential for a reaction. Thusly, and only in this way is catalyst at last neutralized. Until the energy in that catalyst’s appearance is gone, there will be continuing work.
Thusly, we would suggest, whenever catalyst arises, that the most efficient attitude for the skillful worker in consciousness is to thank it, to open the self to it, to ask it to move through as quickly as possible, especially if it is difficult, but to put up no sort of resistance against it. The skillful seeker will sit with the catalyst while allowing it to move through the system and create the emotional changes and reactions that it will. The self can still be a witness to these reactions, these feelings, these worthy and needed expressions of the present moment. The purpose of working with catalyst is not to defeat the catalyst but to cooperate with the catalyst, to move into the catalyst, to move into that collection of energy, that node, that has been created by the catalyst and to see why the arrow is there, why the energy for reaction is there, what that energy is, where it comes from within the energy body in terms of the chakra involved, and so forth.
Then find that trigger, find that wounded part of the self that is not comfortable yet with the self and look at that trigger to see how deeply it goes into the self. And ask it once again—for those to whom we speak have in many cases identified several of the kinds of catalyst of which we speak—to enter into understanding it more and more, not to get rid of it but to learn from it. To absorb it. To be it. In the surrender to this node of concentrated energy, there is a magical component that increases as there is an increase in the confidence and faith within the seeker in the process that has been engaged by the activation of the catalyst. There is tremendous power in knowing why something is happening to one. Not in knowing what provoked a certain person to do something or what strange machinery created a coincidence that is complex and deep but rather knowing that one is in good hands, one is in the hands of guidance, and having faith in the process that will deliver one, at the end of that process, a greater gift to the Creator and a greater asset to the self because the balance of the energy body that has been worked on has improved, has come closer to that which was hoped before incarnation.
Thequestion of how to recognize catalyst is almost that which we cannot answer for it seems too simple a thing to need a response, and yet the query remains, and so we would simply say that when one’s tenor of thought or one’s mood changes, the changes are either inconsequential, ephemeral, and insubstantial, in which case there is no learning going on; or they are more substantial, consequential and meaningful, in which case there will be a plangent note to the moment of catalyst. There will be a sudden change in the vibration which you are putting out and giving to the world as your gift to it. In that change, the balance has shifted either more towards the vibration of the Creator or less towards the vibration of the Creator. When catalyst occurs, the result of which is that the entity is more in tune with the Creator, this normally is not seen as a situation which needs any concern for it is seen as a positive thing; it is enjoyable to feel bliss, and joy, and peace. When catalyst such as that occurs, there is only rejoicing on the part of the seeker. Yet, when there is catalyst that causes the exact opposite within the seeker, that causes a contraction in the self that pulls it away from a feeling of unity and oneness, then it is seen as a “bad thing.” This attitude may always be examined. For locked within each seeker’s deep mind is that collection of biases which, before incarnation, you genuinely and deeply intended to work with until you were more satisfied with the achieved balance.
Now, we speak repeatedly of balance and usually it is a balance that is between love and wisdom; between the green ray and the blue/indigo/violet trinity of rays. It is very attractive to many wanderers, especially in incarnation upon planet Earth, to stay within the upper triad of energies, using this system of seven chakras and an octave. It is similarly attractive to others who have come into incarnation from a point of different balance to lean into the green-ray open heart and to see everything in terms of keeping the heart open. Either focus, if taken to the extreme of not invoking the other, is unbalanced. So, there are entities who are attempting to balance their energies more into the green ray, into an integration with green ray of their blue-ray strengths, and there are others who are doing precisely the opposite, attempting to soften their green ray with wisdom. Perhaps this may help in thinking about this very interesting subject. To become able to work with catalyst, be unafraid of catalyst, refrain from contracting when catalyst is felt, is a tremendous aid in becoming able to live consciously, and she who lives consciously is she who is truly being that light that is upon the hill.
Then Q’uo said that within the nature of our illusion and our conscious life, when we are working within our day, there is a tremendous power in becoming eager for that next piece of catalyst, and we are hungry for change because it is not always an easy thing to create the environment for ourself that is safe for honestly looking at our catalyst, and it is often a difficult experience for our ego to look into the psychology of ourself to see how vulnerable we are to catalyst which is at the level of a child, yet we retain all identities which have not proven themselves useless in terms of producing further learning. Now Q’uo said until we are completely through with learning all of the lessons that are possible to learn within our incarnation, we shall, according to our pre-incarnational plan, receive the cycling opportunities to react to our catalyst again and again because it is a necessary way of checking ourself to see where we are on our evolutionary journey at any moment, so our catalyst may become that which proceeds through our consciousness without causing any reaction, but we are still aware of the catalyst and of its trigger, which speaks but not loudly enough for us to take seriously, for we have worked on it so often and so well that there is no longer the potential for a reaction, so in this way our catalyst is at last neutralized. Q’uo went on to suggest whenever catalyst arises, that the most efficient attitude for us is to open ourself to it, to ask it to move through as quickly as possible, but to put up no sort of resistance against it so that we can sit with the catalyst while allowing it to move through our system and create the emotional changes and reactions that we can be a witness to these worthy and needed expressions of the present moment because the purpose of working with catalyst is not to defeat the catalyst but to cooperate with the catalyst: “to move into the catalyst, to move into that collection of energy, that node, that has been created by the catalyst and to see why the arrow is there, why the energy for reaction is there, what that energy is, where it comes from within the energy body in terms of the chakra involved, and so forth.” Q’uo continued by saying that then we should find that wounded part of ourself that we are not comfortable with, and look at that trigger to see how deeply it goes into ourself, and ask it once again to enter into an understanding of which kind of catalyst that it is, not to get rid of it, but to learn from it, and in our surrender to this concentrated energy, there is a magical component that increases as there is an increase in our confidence and faith in the process that we engaged in by the activation of the catalyst because there is tremendous power in knowing why something is happening to us, not in our knowing what provoked us to do something, but rather knowing that we are in the good hands of guidance, and having faith in the process that will deliver us as a greater gift to the Creator and a greater asset to ourself because the balance of our energy body that has been worked on has come closer to that which we hoped before incarnation. Now Q’uo said that the question of how to recognize catalyst is when our mood changes, the changes are either unimportant in which case there is no learning going on, or they are more substantial, in which case there will be a unpleasant note to the moment of our catalyst, and there will be a sudden change in the vibration which we are putting out and giving to the world as our gift to it, and in that change, the balance has shifted either more towards the vibration of the Creator or less towards the vibration of the Creator so that when catalyst occurs, and the result is that we are more in tune with the Creator, this normally it is seen as a positive thing because it is enjoyable for us to feel bliss, and joy, and peace, but when there is catalyst that causes the exact opposite within us of a contraction in ourself that pulls us away from a feeling of unity and oneness, then it is seen as a bad thing, and this attitude may be examined since locked within our deep mind is that collection of biases which, before incarnation, we genuinely intended to work with until we were more satisfied with the achieved balance. Q’uo said that they wanted to speak of balance that is between love and wisdom, between the green ray and the blue/indigo/violet trinity of rays, and it is very attractive to many wanderers upon planet Earth to stay within the upper triad of energies, using this system of seven chakras and an octave, and it is similarly attractive to others who have come into incarnation from a point of different balance to lean into the green-ray open heart and to see everything in terms of keeping the heart open so that either focus, if taken to the extreme of not invoking the other, is unbalanced, so there are entities who are attempting to balance their energies more into an integration with green ray of their blue-ray strengths, and there are others who are doing precisely the opposite, and attempting to soften their green ray with wisdom, and: “perhaps this may help in thinking about this very interesting subject. To become able to work with catalyst, be unafraid of catalyst, refrain from contracting when catalyst is felt, is a tremendous aid in becoming able to live consciously, and she who lives consciously is she who is truly being that light that is upon the hill.” On November 3, 2002, Q’uo spoke of the value of how we can work with catalyst:
However, we would suggest that there is also skill and art in throwing open the windows of the self to the light within, to the hope within, to the faith within, so that there is a growing awareness in yourself, as you work with catalyst, that you are only partially a creature of time and space. In another portion of yourself, you are a universal and infinite being, a dweller in eternity and one who has given gifts to the self from the future and from the past that feed into the present moment, because there is a need for the nuances, for the lessons of loving and being loved. No matter where the energy centers are that are being stressed by the challenges experienced, the lessons will continue to be about love.
As wisdom feeds into the daily life, that wisdom expresses itself as different realizations of what love is, new and invigorating awarenesses of what it is to share unconditional love, and, for those who are in advanced lessons within incarnation, the challenges are nuanced by the shadings of the energies of accepting the love offerings of others. Many are the times that a negatively presenting set of circumstances has as its formative cause the need to learn the lesson of accepting the love that is given to one. It is in almost every case among those who are positively oriented far easier to learn the lessons of loving than those of being truly, unconditionally, utterly and completely loved. The resistance to the truth of that creates a good deal of murkiness within the patterns that are created through the archetypical and secondary systems of catalyst.
She who lives consciously is able to be more than one absorbed in a processs, and perhaps that is what we may say about the light touch. It is a very absorbing process to become aware of the self, to become at last one who is living consciously, magically, positively, and constructively. This fascination, however, can blind one to the beauty, the wonder, the majesty of every moment that is lived, every heartbeat that is enjoyed, every tear and every laugh that is experienced. The gifts of life and thought are marvelous, and the more that it can be seen that this catalyst and these sometimes dreary processes are taking place in the garden of Eden and in beauty indescribable, the more that this sojourn in the valley of the shadow of death, as this instrument would call life, becomes triumphant, funny, wonderful, delicious, a thing of real splendor. That is the potential of each breath. That is the shadow of what is possible when one becomes fully conscious and is able to express passion, and excitement, and equanimity, and simply becomes able to enjoy the show. For upon a very substantial level, it is a show. It is a production. It is a performance. There is an endless search within each for reality, the reality of the self, the reality of the life, that which is the ground of being. You shall never find it. You can only find images of it. You can, however, be the ground of being. You can be essence. You can be so much more than you can say! And in many ways the doing, the thinking, the working with catalyst, and the whole process is aimed at delivering you at last to being.
That which lifts the spirit and changes the atmosphere is sometimes very helpful, as nonsensical and illogical as such things are. It is not well to allow the self simply to rest in a state of panic or unhappiness or depression. There is a time for sitting with catalyst, and when that time has come to an end—and for each entity the rhythms are different—there is the time of asking the self to rise up, give thanks, and move on into the rest of the day, into the rest of that which is available when one is not focused on a certain piece of catalyst. We encourage you not to allow yourselves to become so absorbed in the process of learning that you become unavailable to the present moment. This is a juggling act, in so many ways, as several within this group have said earlier this day. There is so much to think about and so much to do. As you juggle, you will drop balls, and as the one known as J says, when you drop the balls, that, too, is part of juggling. And the reaction to dropping them should not be that which is judgmental or harsh but simply to encourage the self to pick that dropped ball up with grace, style, and humor.
Lastly, you questioned concerning how to avoid bitterness and how to encourage the self not to use catalyst awry. That is perhaps a topic we may save for another day in terms of really moving into it. But in general, we may say that one is almost never able to see ahead of time that one is going to be bitter, defensive, angry, and so forth. So, one is not able to defend against such times. They simply come upon one, and one finds oneself in the shadows and very unhappy for one reason or another and in one way or another, depending upon the personality shell. When you’re in the soup there is no use objecting to yourself because you fell or because you’re wet. Bitterness comes into the life because it is a way to keep the attention away from getting out of the soup.
The energy of one who has run afoul of catalyst and is struggling can be focused in one of two ways. It can be focused in trying to stay afloat, or it can be focused in trying to get out of the cup of soup. Climbing the slippery China walls of your cup is not easy and it requires far different skills than treading water. However, those who tread water shall be doomed to repeat the exercise, never being allowed to drown and never, while treading water, able to garner the energy that is required for the tremendous effort needed to break the pattern and create a ladder of will and discipline that allows you to clamber over that China cup and get out of the soup. There is no question that it is easier to tread water, stay in the soup, and repine concerning the difficulty that one is in than it is to gather the energies and create, by will and faith alone, that ladder out of the situation and back to a sense of owning the self and not being a victim of circumstance. However, it is through such work that one is able to move through the refining fire, not burning to a cinder, but rather becoming more and more tempered…
[Side one of tape ends.]
…more and more burnished, and more and more flexible.
Now Q’uo said that we who live consciously are more than one who is absorbed in a process, and that is what Q’uo said about the light touch is a process of becoming aware of ourself as we are living consciously and magically, but this fascination can blind us to the majesty of every moment that we live, every tear, and every laugh that we experience, and the more that we can see that this catalyst is taking place in the garden of Eden, the more this journey in the valley of the shadow of death becomes a life of real splendor so that is the least of what is possible when we become fully conscious and are able to express passion and to enjoy the show, and there is an endless search within us for the reality of ourself and the reality of our ground of being which we shall never find, and by working with our catalyst we can be delivered to our ground of being. Then Q’uo said that G was talking with Carla about her bias against the use of feel-good music in church services, and she said that she appreciated sacred music which brings suffering, doubt, and many complex emotions into the singing of sacred thoughts so that the entire human experience is able to be brought into a sacred space in such music, whereas in the so-called “praise music” there is a separation between the suffering person and the good feelings which are generated in praising, but there are times when praise music that lifts the spirits is very helpful so that it might be country music, or a classical music piece, or some other form of seeming distraction, and such distractions are helpful, whether they good art or not. Q’uo went on to say that which lifts our spirit and changes the atmosphere are sometimes very helpful even though they may be nonsensical and illogical, but it is not well to allow ourself to rest in a state of unhappiness because there is a time for sitting with catalyst, and when that time has come to an end there is the time of asking ourself to rise up, give thanks, and move on into the rest of that which is available when we are not focused on a certain piece of catalyst, so Q’uo encouraged us not to allow ourselves to become so absorbed in the process of learning that we become unavailable to the present moment because this is a juggling act since there is so much to think about and to do, and as we juggle we will drop balls, and when we drop them our reaction should be to pick them up with grace, style, and humor. Q’uo continued by saying that regarding how to avoid bitterness and how to encourage ourself not to use catalyst awry, they said that we are never able to see ahead of time that we are going to be defensive and angry, so we are not able to defend against such times because they simply come upon us, and we find ourself unhappy for one reason or another depending upon our personality shell, and when we are in the soup there is no use objecting to ourself because we feel because bitterness comes into our life since it is a way to keep our attention away from getting out of the soup. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that when we have run afoul of catalyst that we can focus our energy in one of two ways: it can be focused in trying to stay afloat, or it can be focused in trying to get out of the cup of soup, but climbing the slippery China walls of our cup is not easy, and it requires different skills than treading water, but if we tread water we shall be doomed to repeat the exercise, never being allowed to drown and never able to get the energy that is required for creating a ladder of will and discipline that allows us to climb over that China cup and get out of the soup and back to a sense of owning ourself and not being a victim of circumstance, but it is through such work that we are able to move through the refining fire and becoming more tempered and more flexible. On February 6, 2006, Q’uo described the nature of our personality shell:
We gaze at this question for those items on which we may speak further to you that might be a resource in considering this question of what the personality shell is. We believe that we have expressed the concept that the personality shell, as we use that term, is not only a selection of personality traits such as preferences and ways to acquire information and process information but also includes items that are difficult to categorize to a mind such as we find this instrument to have. She does not grasp how you would characterize or categorize limitations, certain placements of limitation, and so forth. The placement of limitation has a special niche in the personality shell.
Many of those among your peoples in incarnation at this time have placed certain stoppages or limitations that will keep them from moving too far along an extreme towards an end that is not desired by the soul or spirit. An example of this is this instrument’s lifelong dynamic of frail and fragile health. This instrument carefully placed in its personality shell before incarnation a limitation that would come forward whenever this instrument chose, of her own free will, to move into a physical activity to the extent that she was unable to pursue a daily, inner, meditative, and contemplative side. When this instrument has in the past developed such an aggressive and ambitious program of physical activity that it has found itself unable to feed its deeper needs in terms of contemplation and meditation, the physical body has simply broken down.
We find that our time is up, and it is time to open the meeting to shorter additional queries. Are there queries at this time?
J: On June 8, there’s a Venus transit which lasts eight years, which will bring us right to the year 2012. I was wondering about your opinion. Is this an important event, or is it just one of the many smaller events leading up to ascension? Is this event something that we should really look at to move us into a higher consciousness?
We are those of Q’uo, and we are aware of your query, my sister. We believe that information could be gleaned by those who have intuitive gifts and a wide and deep knowledge of astrology. There is always much to be learned from the movements of the stars and their influence upon the body of Earth itself and each of you as well. However, the chief excitement which remains upon our own minds is that great interest that we have in seeing the way entities are awakening and becoming more and more able to live consciously and radiate light. This is far more factored into the eventual outcome of your peoples and the, shall we say, end of the age than any cosmic influence. Much lies at this time in the hearts and the hands of entities upon planet Earth at this time.
May we answer you further, my sister?
J: No, thank you.
Q’uo: We thank you, my sister. Is there another query at this time?
G: Q’uo, I have a series of questions sent in from readers abroad but first, I know, knowing T1, that when he has a question, he will hold his off and let others ask their questions. I would like to ask if T1 has a question before I ask a series of questions.
T1: No, G, please go ahead.
G: Okay. This question is from B. “In 1987 I lost my job, broke up my marriage, left my wife and children and lost my desire to live. I totally surrendered my life to the Source. It was my ‘turning point.’ And ever since I’ve been on my spiritual path, re-married and live happily. However, there is still some bitterness within my children and my ex-wife towards me, while sometimes I still feel guilty to have left them. I would appreciate it if Q’uo would throw some light on our relationship at soul level (karmic ties) and give us some guidance on how to heal the wounds.”
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of the query, my brother, and we thank you for vibrating that query for him. To the one known as B we would say that the true nature of the relationship betwixt you and your ex-spouse is oneness. The energies that you experience at this time may fruitfully be examined for just those things which we were speaking about earlier: the catalyst involved, the triggers involved, and the biases that are involved in the particular lesson that you and your ex-spouse share. Often this work cannot be done together with another in such a situation, and so it is very helpful if the entity has the energy to step into the other-self’s shoes to such an extent that the one known as B is able to see through the eyes of the ex-spouse, sitting there until there is as full an understanding on the conscious level of the dynamics involved in this particular node of catalyst as possible. The details of past lives and so forth are not those things with which we would prefer to deal as we would wish to limit comments to those that are helpful to all entities and at all times.
The spiritual principle involved here is the principle of responsibility for one’s actions. When there is the full acceptance of the self, the full forgiveness of the self, and the full appreciation of the present moment, then such concerns as are expressed in the query become details which do not have the power to alter consciousness within the self. We encourage the reading of the channeling through this instrument that was given at the first part of this meditation.
Is there another query at this time, my brother?
G: This next one comes in from S. “I have only recently been exposed to the term ‘Crystal Kids.’ I would like to know as much information as possible on these children. Who are Crystal Kids? How are they different from the Indigo Kids and what can you tell us about their purpose on Earth? I thank you for the opportunity to ask this.”
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. From our standpoint there is virtually no difference in those called Indigo Children and those called Crystal Kids. The designations indicate a double-activated third-density/fourth-density body, which makes such children, as they grow up, more able to access fourth-density reality. Since fourth density is here, since entities are living in a combined third-density/fourth-density atmosphere, there is an increasing ability for all people to work upon the, what this instrument would call, DNA; to work upon the self at the cellular level, lifting consciousness and asking it to take hold of the new reality that is interpenetrating third density.
These children are far more able to do this than those with only the yellow-ray body activated because their DNA is already altered to some extent. However, their purpose here is as pioneers. They come in, in terms of fourth density, within very basic and primitive conditions, and are giving their lives to help establish fourth density and to be bridges of light for those who would listen to that which they would have to say and to live in such a way as to follow such advice as they would give. To put it another way, they are here to radiate light and love, as are all entities. It is hoped by their higher selves that they will have more efficacy in doing so than those who have not the advantage of a double-activated body.
Is there another query at this time?
G: This is the last outside query. This one comes from T2. “Dr. Sun Yat-sen is the founding father of the Republic of China. This Republic is as short-lived as himself. However, he is respected by both Chinese and Taiwanese, both the Communist party and the Kuomin party. If it is possible, could Q’uo speak about Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s life?”
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. This entity was one whose energy was that of the heart and yet whose abilities included communication. This entity was a brilliant blue-ray being who was able to inspire and to lead because his communication rested upon a compassionate and humane structure of character. This entity gave greatly of itself and was exemplary in its habits and inner disciplines, creating an incarnation of stature.
Is there another query at this time?
G: I have a personal one, Q’uo. In the last channeling you stated that, “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.” Ra also spoke of a “set level of lack of distortion” required to tap intelligent energy through crystals, “or through any use.” So, the first part of my question is, are Q’uo and are Ra speaking of this same point? And the second part of the question is, can you describe more about this point and are there any tell-tale signs that will manifest in an entity when this point has been reached?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We cannot speak to the first part of your query in this setting, although, if you wish, we are able to address it at length at another time.
To respond to the second portion of your query: the tell-tale signs of magical working are sudden changes of a profound nature in circumstance which reflect a synchronicity that is obvious. Synchronicity is indeed a mark of one who has activated a certain magical-ness within its own nature.
May we answer you further, my brother?
G: Perhaps might that sudden change not only reflect through the outer physical in synchronicity but might that look or feel or give one the space, the freedom, to love that which was before was unlovable?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Such a circumstance might occur, my brother. May we answer you further?
G: No, thank you very much, Q’uo.
Q’uo: We thank you, my brother. Is there a final query at this time?
D: How may the distortions of pride and arrogance be recognized when you are the one experiencing them?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. We smile because we are aware of this instrument’s deep and intense involvement in this very query for the last little bit of her time. Because of this factor it is more difficult to answer your query, my brother. However, we may say that when the self, in its inner contemplations, begins to cast aspersions upon another, it is possible that pride and arrogance have been invoked, and that there are more circumstances than one is aware of, which might change the attitude from that sourness to a more balanced and compassionate view. When that typical sourness which has that taste of judgment comes into the mouth, into the mind, then it may be that there are lessons in humility that could be easily taken up with advantage.
May we answer you further, my brother?
D: That’s quite sufficient. Thank you.
Q’uo: We thank you, my brother, and we thank each of you. This group is such a blessing to us, and it is such a pleasure to speak with you through this instrument. We thank you with all of our hearts and wish each of you to know that you are in our hearts. At any time that you wish to have our company during meditation, you have only to ask, for we are those who love each of you. Certainly, the beauty of each of you is remarkable and we thank each of you for sharing the experience of this meeting with us.
We leave you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai. We are those of Q’uo.
This morning, I was honored once again to be a guest on Jonathan Tong’s Seattle Law of One Study Group. There was a great variety of questions asked such as how to deal with the stressful political scene around the world, the nature of cats, the destruction of Maldek, the deleterious energy exchange between Don and Carla in Session #106, the purpose of UFOs, and the life of Muhammed Ali. I could feel the Creator’s love flowing through the hearts of each person in the group, and I look forward to our next zoom meet on the first Saturday in April.
This afternoon I went outside and took down the blue clothesline ropes on three sides of the fishpond because I had spread out the distance too much between the V and A shapes that I use to keep birds from flying into the netting that surrounds the fishpond. Then I put it back up with less distance between the V and A shapes.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 1
The Year Of Jubilee
I am of the principle of the Love of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of that Love.
We greet you in your divinity, knowing that you cannot see it and find it hard to believe that it exists. We greet you as children of the Father, heirs to all that Love may bring, sons and daughters of eternity.
We greet you who are trying to unstop your ears and peel the veil of illusion from your eyes and urge you instead to enter into your own heart and, there, clean the house of the Lord and make ready your own self, trusting in the sweetness and perfection of the creation of the Father, which is your self, that you may be worthy to receive the gifts of the spirit.
It is for each to decide when the year of Jubilee shall come, when the acceptable time of rejoicing shall be declared. The potential lies in each and every day. May you turn within in peace and, cleansing yourself diligently and persistently, prepare yourself ceaselessly to be channels of Love. For such voices, hearts, and hands as yourself are the presence of Love in your world.
We leave you in the peace which does not deny responsibility and in the comfort of Love which does not deny responsibility, in the hard and creative Love and joy of divine consciousness, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
