I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from September 5, 2004:
We’ve talked a lot today about change: physical changes in our circumstances, moving to new residences, emotional changes, finding out a lot more about our deeper selves, spiritual changes, and learning to experience the world around us in new ways on new levels. We know that the Earth is going through a lot of change, also, and as beings on a path of service, we would like to know how best we can serve Earth as she’s going through her change.
(Carla channeling)
We are those of the principle known to you as Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. It is a great privilege to be called to your circle, and we thank you so much for this privilege, and for the beauty of your souls as they sit in meditation. Truly you create a beautiful tabernacle made of your light, your seeking, and your hope for the truth. We are so happy to share our service with you, which is to share our thoughts. It is for this reason that we are in contact with instruments such as this one, and we do hope to be able to offer opinions that may have some benefit in your own process. But in order for us to have the freedom to share these opinions we would ask that you carefully guard the gateway of your own perception and do not allow any of our thoughts to enter those gates. They need to pass the most careful discrimination of your own senses. Listen for resonance. When you feel that resonance in those thoughts that we share, then we welcome your working with those thoughts as may please you. Please, if there is no resonance there, if it has no feeling of being a personal memory that has somehow been reawakened, then please pass by those things that we say, for they are not yours and miss their mark and need to be left behind without a second thought. If you will all agree to do this mentally, then we will be free to speak with you without infringing upon your free will and your right to work as you need for your own acceleration of the process of spiritual evolution. For that is indeed what you are about this day.
Are you choosing to move a little bit faster along that infinite line that moves from the Creator to the Creator; from the Alpha of the beginning of this octave of creation to its end? All comes from that great potential that is the infinite Creator at rest. It all moves eventually back into the rest and the joy of ultimate unity. In between there are worlds and worlds to explore and the self is the Creator in all of those distorted ways of viewing the segmented or fractured creation. One falls through illusion, after illusion, after illusion to come to this precious moment, this illusion, this time together, this learning crux. As the one known as T. S. Eliot says, this “still point, where the dance is.”
You ask this day concerning how each of you may be of service to the Earth as it moves through its own changes, its own transformation, its own new life. For indeed there is a birth occurring in the world, in the Earth, and in each soul that walks this Earth at this time. The very life that you live is a transformation. It is nothing more nor less than that, whether or not you choose to cooperate with this transformative process that shall occur, for it is the very warp and woof of the tapestry of your life. It is your reason for being here. You came to learn as well as to serve, or perhaps we should put it the other way around, you came to serve but also to learn. It is impossible to look at one without looking at the other. They are like the x-axis and the y-axis of the grid upon which your tapestry is sewn. Stitch by stitch, color by color, and texture by texture, this is your life, and you do have the power to create that life.
This is at the heart of your question, for it is what the Earth itself is doing. It is creating new life. It is creating from its womb, from that womb of space and time and process, that inevitable transformation that comes when one cycle ends and another begins. This is an appropriate and a just process. It is going remarkably well considering the difficulties with which your planet has been dealing in terms of the harmony of its peoples and what that is doing to the harmony of this process of birthing through which your Earth is going. Quickly examine the conversation, as it went about your circle this day, for the kind of challenges and new events that are occurring in the lives of each within this circle. These are not simple changes, nor are they all on one level. There are multiple levels and great subtleties and complexities in each of these patterns, as you are exploring, as this instrument is very fond of asking, who you are and why you are here.
Much of the seeming richness of detail in most change is not pattern but noise. It often does not add to the process to enumerate, detail by detail by detail, the outward appearance of a process of change through which one is moving. Often it is a more skillful approach to rest and sit with the apparent chaos of a new situation, not asking at all for order but being willing to sit in that winter’s patience with that which has not yet manifested, with those patterns which have not yet come clear. There is no rush. There is no hurry. There is plenty of time, for change can happen in an instant, in a heartbeat, in a moment’s time, but it is waiting for that moment that takes the skill and the patience. Those moments will burst upon you and realization will occur. Suddenly you will begin to see into the kingdom of the present moment in a way that you were not previously able to do. It cannot be coaxed forward. It cannot be produced on demand. It only comes when there is a surrender to that process, a surrender that says, “I don’t care how long this process takes. In for a penny, in for a pound. I am here. I feel this is the right place for me to be and I am content to sit here with this for the rest of my life, if that is what it takes for this pattern to resolve.” There is tremendous love and faith in that surrender and there is courage in the ability to persevere, in the waiting, in the asking, and in the knowing, by faith alone, that meanwhile, despite all apparent difficulties, all truly is well.
The group question for this session was: “We know that the Earth is going through a lot of change, also, and as beings on a path of service, we would like to know how best we can serve Earth as she’s going through her change.” Q’uo began their reply by saying that we asked how each of us may be of service to the Earth as it moves through its own transformation, for there is a birth occurring in the Earth and in each soul on Earth at this time, and the life that we live is a transformation whether or not we choose to cooperate with this process that is the nature of the tapestry of our life, and it is our reason for being here because we came to serve but also to learn, and it is impossible to look at one without looking at the other since they are like the x-axis and the y-axis of the grid upon which our tapestry is sewn, and we have the power to create that life. Q’uo went on to say that this is the heart of our question, for the Earth is creating new life from that womb of space and time, and process, so that inevitable transformation comes when one cycle ends and another begins, and this is an appropriate process that is going well considering the difficulties with which our planet has been dealing in terms of the harmony of its peoples and what that is doing to the harmony of this process of birthing through which our Earth is going, so if we examine the conversation as it went about our circle this day for the kind of challenges that are occurring in the lives of each within this circle, these are not simple changes because there are multiple levels and complexities in each of these patterns so that we are asking, “Who we are, and why we are here?” Q’uo continued by saying that these two questions are questions that Carla has asked several people recently in working through mutually discussed issues, and it is a double question that she prays about in her own process every day, asking for the guidance of Spirit about whom she is and why she is here, for these things do not occur in a sequential process and then become finished because the transformations will continue cyclically so that there will be seasons of enjoying the abundance of full summer and watching the blooming and growth and then seasons of harvesting and separating the wheat from the chaff, but there are also those difficult seasons of emotional winter when waiting and patience are the watchwords, and where the pattern is not yet clear so that all these seasons are those that will occur in cycles that vary depending upon how open each of us is to change and how skilled we are in discerning and organizing the chaos. Now Q’uo said that much of the richness of detail in most change is not pattern but noise, so it does not add to the process of enumerating the details of the outward appearance of a process of change through which we are moving so that it is a more skillful approach to sit with the chaos of a new situation–not asking for order–but being willing to sit in that winter’s patience with that which has not yet manifested because there is plenty of time, for change can happen in an instant, but it is waiting for that moment that takes patience, and those moments will burst upon us, and suddenly we will begin to see into the kingdom of the present moment in a way that we were not previously able to do, and it only comes when there is a surrender that says: “I don’t care how long this process takes. In for a penny, in for a pound. I am here. I feel this is the right place for me to be, and I am content to sit here with this for the rest of my life, if that is what it takes for this pattern to resolve.” Q’uo said there is love and faith in that surrender, and there is courage in the ability to persevere in the asking, and in the knowing, by faith alone, that despite any difficulties, all is truly well. Then Q’uo said that our Earth, left to itself, would be fine because the heart of Earth is healthy and is attempting to follow the signals of time and space and its own process, but it is having difficulties because of generations of empires which hold the value of fear, conquering, and the willingness to pursue ends regardless of the means for the sake of the result, and these disharmonies have produced a tremendous burden among the people of Earth who have experienced fear, anger, and the harvest of a warlike culture. On December 16, 2002, Q’uo said that all is truly well:
We would advise the worthy seeker to go forth in faith. All is truly well, and the Creator awaits the interaction of your love, as you express it, within your family structure. It is much like building a firm foundation for that which is to come. There is much potential. There is the positive direction. There is the realization of a few remaining stones necessary to place within that foundation, and this work has begun apace. We say be of good cheer, go forth in love and rest in faith. All will be well. Your feet are firmly planted upon the path of seeking. Continue walking this journey with a happy heart, and with a willingness to accept all that awaits you.
From the beginnings of your recorded history, millennium upon millennium, your people have seemingly deepened their bias towards hasty and aggressive solutions to the differences of opinion betwixt those who were created as brothers and sisters of one flesh, one blood, one family. This has translated itself into the Earth itself as an increasing imbalance that generates a good deal of subterranean heat in the planet and creates an increasingly unbalanced energy situation which results in extreme violences of nature such as the hurricanes that you now are experiencing and the volcanoes which are erupting on your planet’s surface at this time. As long as there is pain inflicted, such as that inflicted upon innocent school children, as has happened recently in your Chechnya, these energies will keep driving themselves deeper into the Earth and tending to constrict and make difficult the labor pains of Gaia, Mother Earth.
When groups such as nations and terrorists groups are in the news and washing through the media-driven culture of a great portion of the global surface, it may seem relatively improbable that individuals or small groups of people could make a difference in this picture. And yet we assure you that groups such as your own have long made a difference in this developing picture. It is not a new thing for groups to come together in order to generate unconditional Love. The history of religions is rife with examples of groups who have been inspired so to get together and yet in many, many cases these groups have been co-opted by less than the highest and best interests of those groups of people. The energies of elitism and exclusion and divisions have crept into the unconditional Love and compromised the Light coming from these groups. Yet, somehow, in spite of all the resistance of an increasingly unloving surface culture, from the very heart and soul of each human there stems its divine nature.
The very nature of each of you is Love. You are made of it. When there is a lack of that on the surface you crave it; you hunger for it; you yearn for it; and you know, somehow, that it is there. In the darkest prison, in the darkest night, in the deepest dark night of the soul, the spark of hope cannot be stamped out because your very heart is a lighthouse, and it will relight if you allow it the slightest bit of silence, the tiniest room to be who it is. How much time have you spent today simply allowing yourself to be? Do you realize that this bare allowance of the self to be is that food which the mother of your flesh needs from you? It is being. It cannot help wearing its heart on its sleeve. That heart of nature has been abused but it beats strongly. And it must be itself. It has no choice. It exists without illusion, and though it is deeply wounded and greatly and increasingly suspicious of that human energy which wishes to help, nevertheless, it cannot help reacting to, responding to, authentic being.
It sees you as you really are, not as a collection of bones, and flesh, and muscle, and gristle; not as a collection of words and poses and attitudes; but as that texture and color and form, that sense in which you are a living flower or a work of art, an essence, an aroma in the nose of the Creator. You do not know how sweet you are, how beautifully your odor mingles with the truth of the odors of each other entity within this room to create a bouquet that we cannot describe in its beauty. Each of you shines like the gem that you are.
How can you know this when you are in the midst of the illusion in which you cannot see the gems of your soul or your heart but can only see the vainglory of flesh, the markers of eyes and nose and mouth and form. That which you see about you is, quite specifically, that which is the least real. That which you cannot grasp, cannot know, that which is lost in mystery, is the realest thing about you. What a backwards world it is for one who wishes to pin everything down! And yet your incarnation here is not about pinning things down. Your incarnation here is about learning to dance, learning to sing, learning to move in the rhythms that have no words but that move in harmony with every living thing in your world, starting with the air, the earth, the fire, and the water, moving through every created plant and animal, through yourselves and through those beings that exist without form that are those within the inner planes that are also part of the creation.
Q’uo said that from the beginning of our recorded history, our people have deepened their bias towards aggressive solutions to the differences of opinion between those who were created as brothers and sisters of one family, and this has translated itself into the Earth having an increasing imbalance that generates subterranean heat in the planet and creates an unbalanced energy situation which results in extreme violences of nature such as hurricanes and volcanoes which are erupting on our planet’s surface at this time, and as long as there is pain inflicted, such as that inflicted upon innocent school children, as has happened recently in Chechnya, these energies will keep driving themselves deeper into the Earth and constrict Mother Earth. Q’uo continued by saying that when nations and terrorists groups are in the news upon a great portion of the global surface, it may seem unlikely that individuals or small groups of people could make a difference in this picture, but Q’uo said that groups such as our own have long made a difference in this developing picture because it is not a new thing for groups to come together in order to generate unconditional Love, and the history of religions is full of examples of groups who have been inspired to get together and yet in many cases these groups have been hindered by less than the best interests of those groups of people because the energies of elitism and divisions have crept into the unconditional Love and compromised the Light coming from these groups, but in spite of all the resistance of the unloving surface culture, from the very heart and soul of each human there stems our divine nature. Q’uo went on to say that the nature of each of us is Love, and when there is a lack of that on the surface of our lives we crave it, and we know that it is there even in the dark night of our soul, and the spark of hope cannot be stamped out because our heart is a lighthouse, and it will relight if we allow it the tiniest room to be who it is, so we need to spend time each day to allow ourself to be because this is the food that Mother Earth needs from us because the heart of nature has been abused, but it beats strongly, and it must be itself, and though it is deeply wounded and increasingly suspicious of that human energy which wishes to help, nevertheless, it cannot help but respond to our authentic being. Now Q’uo said that they see us as we really are–not as flesh and bones, words and attitudes–but as that texture, and color, and that sense in which we are a work of art, an aroma in the nose of the Creator, and we do not know how sweet we are, and how beautifully our scent mingles with the truth of the scents of each other entity within this room to create a bouquet that they could not describe its beauty. Then Q’uo said that we can’t know this when we are in the illusion where we cannot see the gems of our soul or our heart, but we can only see the vainglory of our flesh, eyes, nose, and mouth so that which we see around us is that which is the least real, and that which is lost in mystery is the realest thing about us so that our incarnation is about learning to dance, to sing, and learning to move in the rhythms that have no words but that move in harmony with every living thing in our world: “starting with the air, the earth, the fire, and the water, moving through every created plant and animal, through yourselves and through those beings that exist without form that are those within the inner planes that are also part of the creation.” On August 4, 2004, Q’uo described how we all are a work of art:
You are a partner with many other unseen entities in this work of art that is your life. Take the time that you would take with any work of art. If you think of it as a poem, work endlessly to clean the language of your life. If you think of it as a complex image that you paint, take the time to place every stipple of light, every touch of the brush that shades, and defines, and reveals mystery so that your finished work shines with the deepest truth of you that an image can. And if you think of it as this instrument does, as a tapestry that she is weaving as she goes, not only with words but with the fragrance of her love, and the touch of her heart, and with all of those senses that each entity possesses that move far beyond the descriptions of words. She works to make a tapestry of real depth, truth and beauty.
It is one great dance and one great song. You have heard of the music of the spheres. This is not a myth. This is the way things are in the world of what this instrument would call time/space, which coexists with and interpenetrates the consensus-reality illusion that you now enjoy. For each thing that you see, there are a million things that are interpenetrating that illusion that have more and more metaphysical substance. And you are not without the ability to begin to swim in and know these waters of Spirit. You have within you great depths of ability to penetrate illusion and to begin to pick up the essence and the heart of the unseen mysteries that you seek. For you are an embodiment of these mysteries. You carry within you, as in a hologram, the one infinite Creator.
Whenyou come to those moments in which you are being yourself, those moments when you are tabernacling within your own sacred space, know that each moment you spend there is a direct and immediate help to the planet which is your mother in terms of your flesh and bone. The more that you can dwell in this awareness, the more your very being will be of service to Gaia. More than that, when you rise from your contemplation, meditation, or whatever form of silence you have chosen as your own frame for being, we encourage you to lean into carrying that light with you as you go about the work of the day, whatever that may be.
This instrument was talking earlier about how she is able to feel Earth energy and has been aware of the Earth from her earliest memory. Becoming more and more aware of how Earth energy feels is a very helpful thing for the Earth as well as for you. That Earth energy is, mechanically speaking, that medium through which the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator moves through the soles of your feet up into your body. It rushes up from the soles of the feet right into the red ray and directly from there, sequentially, through each chakra of the energy body. And when you are functioning well as an energy body, your chakras are balanced and opened. Full energy is moving through into the heart, and that heart is staying open no matter what hits it, so that the output, no matter how difficult your catalyst may be, is an output of love, joy, and peace.
This is the energy that is coming into your physical vehicle and into your emotional, and mental, and spiritual vehicles as well. You can shape the way that you receive the catalyst that comes to you by how you choose to work with the energy body in responding to that catalyst. It is the most sensible and understandable thing in the world to react to incoming perceptions of anger, and insult, and difficulty by constricting and contracting the energy of the self in defensive and protective ways. Oftentimes, habits of defense and protection begin very early in one’s incarnation as a response to the disharmonious experiences within the birth family. That birth family may well have been chosen partially because of the disharmony within its system, for this sets up the arena for a lesson of incarnational level, whether it be patience, the learning to love without expectation of return, or any of the other incarnational lessons with which each of you may be working this time around, shall we say.
Then Q’uo said life is one great dance, one great song, and the music of the spheres is the way things are in the world of what Carla called time/space, which coexists with and interpenetrates the consensus-reality illusion that we now enjoy, for each thing that we see there are a million things that are interpenetrating that illusion that have more metaphysical substance, and we can begin to swim in and know these waters of Spirit because we have within us great depths of ability to penetrate the illusion and to pick up the heart of the unseen mysteries that we seek, for we are an embodiment of these mysteries that are within us as a portion of the one infinite Creator. Q’uo went on to say that essence is well protected by gates through which we must pass in order to become truly aware of the essence of ourself and the revelation of the Creator within us, and there are lions that guard the gates to the temple that is our inner self, and occasionally we will be challenged because this is a necessary part of the process of transformation, so when there is an initiation it will have a certain form, and symbols will come to us such as hawks, or words, or street signs that connect into our process synchronistically, and it is impossible to know ahead of time what these markers of transformation will be, but when they come to us we should take note of them and realize that we are on the right track because these processes are moving forward, and no matter how dislocated we may feel in these movements we are on the right track, and we are moving well with honor and dignity. Q’uo continued by saying that when we come to those moments in which we are tabernacling within our sacred space, each moment we spend there is an immediate help to the planet which is our mother in terms of our flesh and bone, and the more that we can dwell in this awareness, the more our being will be of service to Gaia, and when we rise from our meditation, Q’uo encouraged us to lean into carrying that Light with us as we go about the work of the day. Now Q’uo said that Carla was talking earlier about how she is able to feel Earth energy and has been aware of the Earth from her childhood, and becoming more aware of how Earth energy feels is a helpful thing for the Earth as well as for us because Earth energy is that medium through which the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator moves through the soles of our feet up into the red ray and directly from there through each chakra of our energy body, and when we are functioning well as an energy body, our chakras are balanced and opened, and full energy is moving through into our heart which is staying open no matter what hits it so that the output–no matter how difficult our catalyst may be–is an output of love, joy, and peace. Q’uo said that this is the energy that is coming into our physical vehicle and into our emotional, mental, and spiritual vehicles as well, and we can shape the way that we receive the catalyst that comes to us by how we choose to work with the energy body in responding to that catalyst because it is the most sensible thing to react to our incoming perceptions of difficulty by contracting our energy in defensive ways, and often habits of defense begin in our childhood as a response to our difficult experiences within our birth family, which we may have chosen because of the disharmony within its system, for this gives us the opportunity to learn our incarnational lessons such as patience, learning to love without expectation of return, or any of the other lessons which we may be working on. On April 14, 2007, Q’uo described the nature of our energy body:
The spiritual seeker’s goal is to serve the one infinite Creator. In doing so, all of the notes of this instrument shall be played. None of the chakras is more important than any other. They are all necessary for the functioning of the energy body. It is just as important to have a strong red ray or a strong orange ray as it is to have a strong indigo ray. It is impossible to do work in consciousness before you have begun to have a holistic view of your energy, valuing every aspect of your feelings.
We use this term, feelings or emotions, in a general way, being unable to dig deep down beneath surface emotion to the archetypal rivers of emotion that are true or hold the truth within their flow. Think of it in terms of vibration. Overall, your energy body vibrates at a certain rate. It is a conglomerate rate, and the read-out of that rate is your violet-ray chakra.
What you are attempting to do in opening the heart is not to leap from the heart into indigo ray, but simply to find yourself able to use the resources of the heart chakra which make work in consciousness ever more possible. As that heart not only opens but is persuaded by the constant tuning of the individual to stay open, more and more, finally there is a habitual default setting of open heart and dependence upon the concept of love and a need to be a part of the principle of love and light upon planet Earth.
In such a way shall you be able to keep your system open and ready to speak the words of love, to sing the melodies of wisdom, and to reach out, hand to hand and heart to heart, to each other, as you practice being one in love.
As habits begun early are repeated, the shell around them may harden so that it is seemingly at first very difficult to interrupt the habitual contraction around fear. There is no way to eliminate fear, for the incoming catalyst of any entity, no matter how well protected by wealth, circumstance, or privilege, will contain those situations which produce fear. Fear is inevitable. The occasion for fear, shall we say, is inevitable. However, those who have spoken words of inspiration throughout the ages have shown over and over again that the reaction to conditions which would suggest fear need not be fearful. Such reactions can be loving under the most brutal circumstances, whether they be Holocaust, imprisonment, or any other oppressiveness or adversity. Prison cannot bind the free spirit. Prison is only a place. The spirit is a citizen of eternity and it can call from its larger Self that knowledge of freedom and light and rightness that the world cannot know.
This willingness to explore the letting go of fear is a tremendous key in this process of transformation. What the Earth is going through is precisely what each of you is going through on a much smaller scale. For the Earth, a process taking approximately 76,000 of your years is coming to an end. The cosmic clock, shall we say, is striking the hour. And indeed, a new hour has begun upon your planet at this time. It is having difficulty establishing itself. The labor is long and difficult. But it is going much better than expected because, at what this instrument would call the “grass roots” level, person by person, household by household, community by community, a choice is being made to embrace love and to practice a life that shines that love forth as best as those people, families and groups can muster the wisdom and the strength to allow.
Indeed, it is more a matter of allowing the self to cooperate with the energies about it than to frame this process as reaching for new things. The new things are here. The new things are a program all about you. It is a matter of allowing those new things to sift in through the cracks and crannies of the outer, still very strong, consensus reality of your old Earth, that which this instrument tends to call the “third-density Earth.” The fourth-density Earth is at least as real, in the unseen or inner planes, as third density and it is getting stronger all the time. Entities have talked a good deal about the increasing movements, the literal movements of household and so forth, and it is understandable that every single thing in one’s life would come up at this time to be questioned and perhaps to be changed. For it is, in microcosm, that which is occurring to the Earth.
Andyou are a part of that system, much more inextricably and organically than you realize. You are a crop that the Earth has produced, as much as the roses, the elms, the birds, or the animals. Your process of spiritual evolution is a crop that you have at this time the chance to fertilize and encourage and, most of all, to allow. When you can open your heart and let go of the mental noise that is surrounding the details of your life, you are allowing the sunshine and the rain to come in and help your growth. When you can shut down, for a bit of time, the endless conversations that take place between the cast of thousands that live within that kingdom between your ears and just rest in the kingdom of the creation instead of that spiky, back-and-forth energy of what this instrument would call the monkey mind, there comes into being that wonderful kingdom that is the creation. And it is a land of harmony that is in infinite movement, swaying, and dancing, and singing its song. The more authentically you can sing your song, the more freely you can feel your energies dancing with the energies of all those about you and the Earth itself, the closer that you are to being that being that you came to be. You did not come here to find answers, you came here to participate in the dance, to be yourself, and as you dance and sing, to find ever more balanced ways to serve and to learn.
Now Q’uo said as our habits that began in childhood are repeated, the shell around them may harden so that it is difficult to interrupt our habitual contraction around fear, and there is no way to eliminate fear, for the catalyst of any entity, no matter how well protected by wealth or circumstance, will contain situations which produce fear because fear is inevitable, but those who have spoken words of inspiration throughout the ages have shown that our reaction to conditions which produce fear need not be fearful, and they can be loving under brutal circumstances such as the Holocaust, imprisonment, or any difficulty because prison cannot bind the free spirit since it is only a place, and our spirit is a citizen of eternity, and it can call from its larger Self that knowledge of freedom, and Light, and rightness that the world cannot know. Q’uo went on to say that our willingness to explore the letting go of fear is a key in our process of transformation because what the Earth is going through is what each of us is going through on a smaller scale, for the Earth this process is taking about 76,000 of our years and is coming to an end, and a new hour has begun upon our planet at this time, and its labor is long and difficult, but it is going better than expected because, at what Carla calls the “grass roots” level of families and communities a choice is being made to embrace love and to shine it forth as well as their wisdom and strength will allow. Q’uo continued by saying that it is a matter of allowing ourself to cooperate with the energies about us to see this process as reaching for new things all around us, and it is a matter of allowing them to sift in through the cracks of the consensus reality of our third-density Earth because the fourth-density Earth is at least as real in the inner planes as third density, and it is getting stronger as entities have talked about the movements of households, and it is understandable that things in our life would come up at this time to be questioned and changed because this is, in microcosm, what is occurring to Earth. Then Q’uo said that we are organically more a part of that system than we realize since we are a crop that the Earth has produced, and our process of spiritual evolution is a crop that we can fertilize and allow, and when we can open our heart and let go of the mental noise that is surrounding the details of our life, we are allowing the sunshine and the rain to come in and enhance our growth, and when we can shut down the endless conversations within our mind and rest in the kingdom of the creation instead of what Carla called the monkey mind, there comes into being a land of harmony that is in infinite movement, dancing, and singing its song, and the more authentically we can sing our song, the more freely we can feel our energies dancing with the energies of all those about us and the Earth itself, and the closer that we are to being that being that we came to be because we came here to dance, to sing, and to be ourself, and to find ever more balanced ways to serve and to learn. Q’uo completed their reply by thanking us for asking this question, and their hearts were full of gratitude for the courage that we have as entities gazing upon a world that makes little sense at this time, and they thanked us for seeking ways to love and to serve the one infinite Creator, Gaia, and each other who have embarked upon this journey around the sun in the spaceship of Earth, and we have done well to come to this moment to ask for truth, and they wanted us to know that day by day we shall express more truth than we can ever know because it shall come through us as light, beauty, and love, so we should let those things move through us and bless them as they go, knowing that we shall make many mistakes, but that we can never make a mistake if we are attempting to allow the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator to flow through us unhindered by fear and blessed by our intention. On May 17, 2005, Q’uo said that sometimes our spiritual journey seems to make little sense:
Now let us look at the concept of transformation. If we view transformation from the standpoint of space/time, we shall be looking from the past to the present to the future. We would specifically rather not take that point of view in looking at transformation, for we are not suggesting to you that transformation has to do with changing a past self in the present to a future self. We would rather give you a model that makes little sense in terms of looking at time as a stream with past, present and future. We would give you a circular model of time and space in which, at the beginning of an evolutionary process, you are experiencing yourself on the surface of a ball of selfhood, and you are roaming around on the surface of that ball in search of who you are, much as you wander around on the surface of the globe, wandering from place to place, seeing affinities of self with various places and in relationship with various people in those various places, always restless and always wandering, and never able to penetrate into any depth of awareness of what it is to be yourself, and what it is to know the self, and therefore to know what you were thinking when you decided to enter incarnation on planet Earth.
We are with you in attempting to share our love and our light and you give us great joy as we are able to offer our service to you, which is to share our very humble and imperfect thoughts. We would ask at this point if there are any queries that come out of this initial discussion or any queries at all. Is there a query at this time?
J: Hi, Q’uo. I know how we’ve talked about wants and desires as opposed to authentic need. I felt like I had all these wants and desires, and I got to experience that and two weeks later I kind of feel empty. I guess I’d just like for you to speak about the difference. Is desire an empty hole that just can’t be filled, compared to authentic need?
Weare those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. We say hello to you, the one known as J, for it is our great pleasure to touch into your energy. The query that you ask is a subtle one, and there is not a simple answer, for desire is not a fixed value. Desire is a custom-designed value. A desire can come from many different levels of being. There are natural desires that stem from the kind of physical vehicle which you now enjoy. The instincts of the physical body are perfectly natural and perfectly understandable. The desire for the life itself, the desire for survival, the desire for sexual expression: these things are at the very heart of the driving power of incarnation. Consequently ,it cannot be said in any way that those instinctual desires, including the sexual desires, are lesser than any other level of desire. And yet certainly the instinctual desires are not the ending of desire at all but the beginning, that which allows the light to proceed and sets the stage for much more subtle and complex forms of desire to arise. In a way, there is no moment without desire. It cannot be gotten rid of because the very physical vehicle that you enjoy has a constant desire to survive, and every breath that you take is as the result of a desire for a continuation of that existence.
Ifone looks, for instance, at the tangle of discussion that you have shared with the one known as C concerning various aspects of this question, it can be seen that, in looking at freeing the red-ray energy and freeing that fundamental, healthy flow of the creative energy into the energy body, there is certainly a place for opening up those areas of that energy which were restricted by past abuse and difficulty with sexual expression. And yet, if it stops at the opening of that energy without moving into questions of where this opened energy might go, how it might be furthered, where it goes next in the energy body and how that works, then it shall be empty. For repetition of sheer red-ray desire and satisfaction of that desire are indeed an endless dropping of energy into a hole. Because that energy is a natural function and needs to be expressed again and again, it cannot be expressed once and then put to rest, although entities have found it helpful to do so under specialized conditions, where they were using the restraint from an open expression of sexuality as a marker for cleansing, purifying and enhancing the spiritual growth of the whole organism that is your mind, body, and spirit.
When the energy stops at body work then the mind and the spirit have not yet been reckoned with. And the mind and the spirit also have great hopes and desires for being themselves. The more you work with moving through the chakra system, the more you see that this open red-ray energy moves into the opening of the orange-ray energy, which then moves into the opening of the yellow-ray energy, so that the energy moving up into the heart is whole and has not been hindered by fear at any of these three lower places. When energy is able to move up into the heart in full strength, then the whole world of higher chakra work begins to open up. It is very wise of the one known as J and the one known as T to investigate the opening up of red-ray sexuality, because it is the foundation for so much more sacred work. Yet the hunger remains for an expression that is sacred, an expression that has deeper meaning and higher purpose. There is that opening of the heart and that realization that each entity whom one meets is the Creator. There is then the opening of the heart to serving the Creator in each entity and most of all in one’s mate, so that it comes full circle back to the sacredness of red ray, seen in the fullness of a system of living out that sacredness that is felt within the heart.
When desire has been disciplined and focused, it is the most powerful force in creation. It is that energy that moves the mountain. It is that energy that creates miracles, and it becomes more and more closely allied with those mysterious words of “faith” and “will.” A great deal of time has been spent, in each of your incarnations, on trying to determine what it is that you seek, who it is that you are, what it is that you truly desire. These are wonderful energies; these are defining energies for you; these are key questions. And we greatly encourage this whole line of discussion and exploration.
J asked Q’uo: “Hi, Q’uo. I know how we’ve talked about wants and desires as opposed to authentic need. I felt like I had all these wants and desires, and I got to experience that and two weeks later I kind of feel empty. I guess I’d just like for you to speak about the difference. Is desire an empty hole that just can’t be filled, compared to authentic need?” Q’uo began their response by saying there is not a simple answer to the query that was asked since a desire can come from different levels of being because there are natural desires that stem from the kind of physical body which we now enjoy, and the instincts of the physical body are natural and understandable as is the desire for life itself, and the desire for sexual expression, and these things are at the very heart of the driving power of our incarnation so that it cannot be said those instinctual desires are lesser than any other level of desire, yet the instinctual desires are not the ending of desire but the beginning: “that which allows the light to proceed and sets the stage for more subtle and complex forms of desire to arise. In a way, there is no moment without desire. It cannot be gotten rid of because the very physical vehicle that you enjoy has a constant desire to survive, and every breath that you take is as the result of a desire for a continuation of that existence.” Q’uo went on to say that every pulse of our heart is a vote for our desire to live, and it is impossible to avoid desires as we are living in a body that has many cycles of natural needs, and the mind of our body is in a constant state of desire of looking for the next thing and thinking about the last thing, and our spiritual vehicle is resting in a steady heartbeat of sacred desire to progress in its journey back towards its Source and the ceasing of motion so that we dwell in a sea of desire, and it is the choice of what we desire and the level at which we desire that creates the difference between empty and spiritually creative desire. Q’uo continued by saying that if we look at the tangle of discussion that we shared with C concerning various aspects of this question that in looking at freeing the red-ray energy and that healthy flow of creative energy into our energy body, there is a place for opening up those areas of our energy which were restricted by past abuse and difficulty with sexual expression, and if it stops at the opening of that energy without moving into where it goes next in the energy body, and how that works, then it shall be empty because repetition of red-ray desire and satisfaction of that desire are an endless dropping of energy into a hole since that energy is a natural function and needs to be expressed, but it cannot be expressed once and then put to rest: “although entities have found it helpful to do so under specialized conditions, where they were using the restraint from an open expression of sexuality as a marker for cleansing, purifying and enhancing the spiritual growth of the whole organism that is your mind, body, and spirit.” Then Q’uo said that when the energy stops at body work then our mind and spirit have not been reckoned with, and our mind and spirit also have desires for being themselves, and the more we work with moving through the chakra system, the more we see that this open red-ray energy moves into the opening of the orange-ray energy, which then moves into the opening of the yellow-ray energy, so that the energy moving up into the heart is whole and has not been hindered by fear at any of these three lower chakras, so when energy is able to move up into our heart in full strength, then the world of the higher chakras begins to open up, and it is wise to investigate the opening up of red-ray sexuality, because it is the foundation for more sacred work, but our hunger remains for an expression that is sacred so that there is that opening of our heart and the realization that each entity that we meet is the Creator, and there is then the opening of our heart to serving the Creator in each entity and most of all in our mate, so that it comes full circle back to the sacredness of red ray, seen in the fullness of a system of living out that sacredness that is felt within our heart. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that when desire has been disciplined and focused, it is the most powerful force in creation, and it becomes more and more closely allied with those mysterious words of faith and will, and a great deal of time has been spent in each of our incarnations trying to determine what it is that we seek and who we are, and these are defining energies for us, and Q’uo encouraged this line of discussion and exploration. On March 7, 2020, Q’uo described the nature of faith and will:
The quality of faith for any seeker of truth is that quality which sees the rightness and the potential for growth in any present situation. The faith that one is in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, or observing the appropriate portions of one’s being (and how they add to the potential for growth at all times) is where faith is most salient or important for the seeker.
This faith, then, may also call upon the quality of the will that each seeker has within its being to utilize the perceptions of the day, the catalyst of the experience, the potential within each moment to move forward in growth. This will, then, balances the faith so that there is the opportunity for the seeker to exercise its desire, its will, its potential to realize the qualities of faith that have pointed out the possibilities for growth for each seeker.
Thus, faith and will are the rod and the staff that each seeker carries with it as it moves through this third-density illusion, where the darkness of the illusion hides most of the Creator that is within each moment and each entity, and provides the entity, then, a means by which it may ascertain greater and greater means of moving forward in the process of spiritual growth. Together then, faith and will can utilize any present moment to move forward within the spiritual journey.
May we answer you further, my sister?
J: Wow, that was amazing. Thank you, Q’uo. It’s good to have you back.
Q’uo: My sister, it is good to have you back, also. Is there a further query at this time?
J: Not from me.
T1: I have a question, Q’uo. This is T. I think I might have got it, about some things you just said, and I guess, as far as the week that I had in California, where I was a little hung up is, they taught that not one person can sustain you sexually, therefore, monogamy was not of importance. And I have an issue with that, I don’t know if that’s right or wrong.
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. We shall attempt to answer, but this particular query lies very close to the surface of your own process and so there is a limit to that which we can say without breaking the trust that you give us not to infringe upon your own free will. We give this instrument the image of a necklace of many jewels. Such is the experience of one who opens herself to many lovers. Each gem is lovely and beautiful of its own kind and the variety is dazzling and certainly most invigorating when one has been constricted by the moral fear and torpor of an unthinking, unquestioning and blind obedience to some moral code, these restraints and constraints that are placed from without have no value to the spiritual growth of an individual. Consider, then, the beauty of a single, perfect stone that is hung upon a beautiful golden chain. It is not a blend of colors. It does not have that variety. It has been chosen because, out of all of the jewels that are possible to be had, this one gem has touched the heart, enlivened the soul, opened the heart to the possibilities of devotion, fidelity, and the value of leaving behind the world of manyness and exploring the world of absolute value.
And so, you look at the beautiful colors and you see the variety. And you enjoy this particular piece of jewelry that you have chosen as a way in which you honor and love the one infinite Creator. Yet there is a restlessness there, because there is not the ability to dive deep into the waters of another human soul. There is not the possibility of exploring how one may be devoted to the soul and the heart of another, not to the appearance, or the surface behavior. Those things will often challenge and puzzle any entity attempting to love. But they are those things that allow one to do deep work and to take the time to move more and more deeply into that house of mirrors that is the relationship between the self and the other self.
It is a question of moving horizontally and learning a little bit about a lot or moving vertically, going high, going deep, and learning in a different away about the self and about how to serve. Neither way is incorrect. Both ways are full of learning. It is a choice as to how you wish to express your own being and to direct your own considerable energies.
T1 had a question: “I think I might have got it, about some things you just said, and I guess, as far as the week that I had in California, where I was a little hung up is, they taught that not one person can sustain you sexually, therefore, monogamy was not of importance.

Q’uo continued by saying that it may seem dangerous to commit the self to one shining gem, and it may be that one gem does not touch all of the consequences of beauty that are possible to be appreciated by that sensitive instrument that you are as a person, and yet that choice opens the door to a higher way which can be endlessly refined, and it is difficult to be of service to a necklace full of entities, for each has its beauty and its flaws so that each is a mystery with which one can only offer one’s own mystery, and each, in that beautiful necklace, could take up all of your attention, and you would not be bored, nor would you stop learning, but you have not the time to investigate the many gems of this necklace. Q’uo went on to say that you look at the beautiful colors, and you enjoy the variety of this piece of jewelry that you have chosen as a way in which you honor and love the one infinite Creator, but you feel a restlessness here because you don’t have the ability to dive deeply into the waters of another soul, and you don’t have the possibility of exploring how you may be devoted to the soul and the heart of another, and these things will often challenge you in your attempt to love, but they are those things that allow one to do deep work and to take and to move more deeply into that house of mirrors that is the relationship between the self and the other self. Q’uo completed their reply by saying that: “it is a question of moving horizontally and learning a little bit about a lot or moving vertically, going high, going deep, and learning in a different away about the self and about how to serve. Neither way is incorrect. Both ways are full of learning. It is a choice as to how you wish to express your own being and to direct your own considerable energies.” On August 6, 1989, Q’uo spoke of how we may express our own being in a mated relationship:
The true nature of the married relationship—or the mated relationship as we prefer to call it, marriage having confusing connotations—is that each may help the other upon the spiritual path that they are making through the seeming time span of their short lives. That is what each of you does. You walk one step at a time down a road whose end you cannot and will not ever see. And to have a comrade at your side to share the dust of the road with, to share the enjoyment of nourishment and water when the oasis is found, simply to go through the same experiences and catalysts together, is a very, very great service from each to each, for each has much to teach and much to learn.
Thus, in an ideal sense, we may say that in a natural way of being, insofar as the body complex is concerned, it is the self-conscious choice of some entities not to be mated monogamously but to be mated whenever there is an opportunity. Thus, it is not the animal through which you express your being that is to blame if unwise sexual choices are made. It is the mind that needs to be gazed at.
Now, when two entities contemplate the ordeal that marriage is they must ask themselves if this is the person they wish to be yoked with until one of you dies. Is this the person you wish to serve until one of you dies? Is this a person whose conversation will not pall? There are many questions one may ask oneself. The fundamental question is, “Do you love?” and if the answer in regard to that relationship is, “Yes, I have love for this entity,” then on some level of friendship, or more than friendship, is a natural and desirable outgrowth of such attractions of mind.
T1: Thank you.
Q’uo: Is there another query at this time?
T2: Q’uo, it’s wonderful to hear your voice again. I’d just like to ask if there are any suggestions or advice that you can offer me in terms of how I can enhance my meditations, my connection, and communication with my higher self, and improve inspiration in daily life?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Again, we do not wish to interfere with the learn/teaching process of the one known as T2 but we believe that we may suggest just one thing and that would be that, as the one known as T2 has such great sensitivity to sound and more specifically to the many sounds of water, that this entity find ways to link times of silence and the sensual experience of listening to water and experiencing water, whether that would be a walk along the water, a seat beside a splashing pond, or simply the soundtrack of the water that the one known as T2 might choose to use in times of silence. This particular element is very helpful to the one known as T2, as we are only confirming to one who has already created music in the key of water! Consequently, we simply encourage the one known as TM to continue in linking himself with that wonderful element and the naiads that dance about any expression of that magical substance which is water.
May we answer you further?
T2: No, thank you very much, Q’uo.
Q’uo: Oh, we thank you too, my brother. We are those of Q’uo, and would ask for a final query at this time if there is one.
T2: Since no one else has a question, is there any comment or information you might suggest for the one known as F?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. And we find that there is little that we may say to the one known as F at this time except that all is well. It is sometimes, as this instrument was saying earlier in an email to a friend, seemingly silly to say that all is well, to say that it’s okay, or it’s all right. This, this instrument was saying, is what people say and yet, how intelligent is it to look at something that is causing difficulty and say, “It’s okay.” And we would say that patterns often do not look okay for periods of time and yet energies are in motion that shall become a good pattern, a helpful pattern, and a pattern in which the one known as F may thrive. And we simply would offer her this comfort if it will create within the one known as F any feeling of rest and peace.
We thank this instrument and this group for this opportunity and the beauty of these moments together. We leave each of you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai.
This morning I transplanted one cart load of moss from the pet cemetery to the Moss Garden in the back yard next to Little Locust Creek where I am guessing heavy rains washed the moss away over the last few weeks.
This afternoon I repainted about half of the front porch floor because it had chipped away from rain in numerous places, including the steps. Hopefully, this new can of paint will not have that same problem.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 7
The Prayer Of The Holy Spirit
I am of the body and blood of Christ, the principle of His Love, and I greet you in the full consciousness of that divine presence and Love.
As you sit in seeking this morning, know that we, too, have our prayers. The Spirit prays that humankind may use the great resources of our wealth and sharing.
We move only where the attraction of hope, faith, and seeking call us and, in those lives who accept us, we may share our vision, sound our compassion, and express the nature of the mind of Christ. We know this source of information is valued among your people. Yet so often we are not called, and the Love of Jesus Christ must be done without, the knowledge of compassion, redemption, and salvation overlooked in the hurly burly of petitionary prayer.
My children, when you pray, always include the request that the Spirit may come upon you, that your outlook may be broadened and deepened, and that your expression of love and compassion may be made more complete. We are always ready, always available, and nearer to you than your own breathing.
Call for the spirit of Love. Seek and then listen. And into your heart may come that grace and peace which we hope for you and in which we leave you, 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.
