I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 4, 2005:
Jim: [Reading S’s question.]
First of all, Q’uo, S would like to thank you for your service to her and to all of us on planet Earth at this time, a time when we are all in great need of assistance. She would like some direction in her own path of seeking. She would like to polarize more positively, and she would like some direction as to how she could do this more effectively. She would like you to speak to any blockages that you may have noticed within her mind/body/spirit complex and please give her direction on what she can do to unblock these blockages. She would also like some information on how she could balance love and wisdom in her own life. That is a big lesson for all of us, and she would appreciate whatever you have to say in that regard.
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of the Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we are. We thank the one known as S this day for calling us to this circle of seeking. We feel most privileged and honored to be allowed to share our thoughts with you and with this circle of seeking. And we would ask of you that which we always ask with any circle to which we offer thoughts, and that, my sister, is that you use your discrimination in listening to what we have to say. We may be right on target with some of our thoughts and with other thoughts we may miss completely. We need for you to know your own heart and your own needs to the point where, if something does not make sense to you, or if it grates in any way, you lay it aside without a second thought. This discrimination will enable us to speak freely without abridging the free will of yourself or in any way encroaching upon the sanctity of your process. With this understood, we are satisfied that we are in a good position to be able to speak with you and we thank you for your consideration.
You have asked this day about how to advance and refine your polarization so as to achieve a vibration that is consistent with the fourth density rather than the third density of existence as you know it, and about how you can better balance yourself in each chakra of your energy body in order better to create the proper environment for this polarizing work in consciousness. You also asked about the relationship between love and wisdom and how that dynamic works and how it can be balanced, which we feel will probably take care of itself as we address the first two questions, but we shall revisit that before we open the meeting to further questions. We thank you for these questions. They are excellent, and we simply hope that we may have some material that will serve as a resource for you on this great seeking that you express at this time.
Polarization is a matter of choice and of repeated choice, and we find in gazing at your energy that you grasp this basic fact very well, and that you have been working on the basic choice of service to others or service to self and not for a short length of time but for some time within your incarnation. The subtleties of choice, especially the repetitions of choice, are sometimes more of a challenge than others. Some choices seem very obvious: whether to respond in anger to anger or whether to respond in love. That is an obvious choice. Yet let us examine this example for subtlety and nuance. When someone speaks with you in a way that feels angry, or hostil,e or jangling to you, certainly your first impulse is to, as this instrument would say, clean up your act as far as the response is concerned. And may we say that we feel that you do a fairly good job for the most part in your responses. Of course, one could find ways to criticize the self. But 95% of the time, shall we say, your basic work in this area is sound, and we congratulate you on the kind of full-body effort that you are making to be a gentle spirit, one who does return love, who does not ask to be loved but rather seeks to love. This is the heart of the polarization for fourth-density graduation.
When someone does express negative emotions to you, however, there is more information there than the simple hostility. There is truth. It is the kind of truth that you see in a hall of mirrors at the midway of a carnival. There are no mirrors that show you a true image in such a hall of mirrors. Every mirror is crazed. Some create a tall and slender S, others create a short and fat S. Some warp you to the right and some warp you to the left. Some make wavy lines throughout your entire image so that your eyes and your nose and your mouth do not match up and your neck is at one side and your torso at another and your leg off on the other side again. How can these images be helpful? That is the question that we ask you. How can the crazed and incorrect images of negative emotion directed towards you be helpful?
It is a brave and a stalwart soul who is willing to look into that question; to look into the nuances and the subtleties of other entities with whom you have crossed paths and whose reaction to you is, in fact, a projection of their own process. And may we say that in every situation, no matter how much distortion that there is in that entity’s reaction to you and in that hostility that is unfair and unjust, nevertheless there lies material to be mined in the quiet of one’s own thoughts all the time. For each and every image of you that appears to you is pregnant with information. Perhaps some of this information drags you where you would rather not go, into the shadow side of self that brings before you material that is painful. The injustice and unfairness of such images of the self that they project, from another whose reactions to you are negative, is seemingly completely incorrect. Yet in that moment of interpenetration of the two energy bodies there is sacredness if you are willing to accept the challenge of sitting in sacred space with such unhappy and unjust colors, shapes, and images.
There is an honor to be done to those who are unjust to you, who do not understand you and who cannot see who you really are. To honor and to mine this information that you have been given is often a challenge which you need to meet only through a process of time, revisiting the thoughts that were shared, the feelings that you felt upon receiving these unjustly offered thoughts and so forth. The process is not bound by your awareness of consensus-reality time. You can revisit this moment a year from now, and it will still be as fresh and real as it was when it occurred. So, if you do not do this immediately, feeling the pain, being unable to go further with this material at the present time, that is perfectly and wholly acceptable. There is no time limit on work in consciousness.
S’s question was: “She would like to polarize more positively, and she would like some direction as to how she could do this more effectively. She would like you to speak to any blockages that you may have noticed within her mind/body/spirit complex and please give her direction on what she can do to unblock these blockages. She would also like some information on how she could balance love and wisdom in her own life. That is a big lesson for all of us, and she would appreciate whatever you have to say in that regard.” Q’uo began by saying that polarization is a matter of repeated choice, and they found in gazing at our energy that we grasp this fact well, and that we have been working on the basic choice of service to others for some time within our incarnation, and the subtleties of the repetitions of choice are more of a challenge than others because some choices seem obvious such as whether to respond in anger to anger or whether to respond in love, and that is an obvious choice, yet when someone speaks to us in a way that feels angry, certainly our first impulse is to clean up our act as far as our response is concerned, and Q’uo said that they feel that we do a good job in our responses, and we could find ways to criticize ourself, but 95% of the time our basic work in this area is sound, and they congratulated us on the kind of full-body effort that we are making to be a gentle spirit, one who returns love, who does not ask to be loved but rather seeks to love, and this is the heart of the polarization for fourth-density graduation. Q’uo went on to say that when someone does express negative emotions to us, there is the kind of truth that we see in a hall of mirrors on the midway of a carnival where there are no mirrors that show a true image of us because some mirrors create a tall and slender image; others create a short and fat image, and some warp us to the right, and some warp us to the left, so Q’uo’s question was how can these negative images directed towards us be helpful? Q’uo continued by saying that it is a brave soul who is willing to look into the subtleties of other entities with whom we have crossed paths and whose reaction to us is a projection of their own process, and they said that in every situation, no matter how much distortion that there is in that entity’s reaction to us and in that hostility that is unfair, there is material to be mined in the quiet of own thoughts, for every image of us that appears to us is pregnant with information, but some of this information may take us where we would rather not go, into the shadow side of ourself that brings material to us that is painful, and the unfairness of such images of ourself that they project, from one whose reactions to us are negative, seems incorrect, but in that moment of interpenetration of the two energy bodies there is sacredness if we are willing to accept the challenge of sitting in sacred space with such unhappy images. Then Q’uo said that there is honor to be done to those who are unjust to us, and who cannot see who we really are, and to honor this information that we have been given is often a challenge which we need to meet through a process of revisiting the feelings that we felt upon receiving these unjust thoughts, but the process is not bound by our awareness of consensus-reality time because we can revisit this moment a year from now, and it will still be as real as it was when it occurred, so if we do not do this feeling of the pain at the present time, that is perfectly acceptable because there is no time limit on work in consciousness. On March 2, 2002, Q’uo gave the basics of doing work in consciousness:
Consequently, the prelude to working upon the blue ray or the throat chakra is the same as any other energy work. It begins with red ray and clears blockages sequentially, red, orange, yellow, green. Once the energy into the heart has been secured as a good supply then it is that entities may work further and begin that which is truly a blessed and healing thing, work in consciousness. Work within blue ray is helpfully preceded by time spent in silence within the heart chakra, for there is the need to become undefended, and it is only in the heart chakra that you are able to reprogram fear into love.
Once as a seeker you are convinced that your heart is fully open and flowing then work upon the specific difficulty may begin. Communication is often much more a matter of that which is between the words than that which is text. Consequently, once the heart is opened there can be the conscious request to include that green energy of the open heart.
Meet the entities that you meet within the, shall we say, role-playing mask that you wear so that you are aware that you are an actor upon the stage and are creating your lines in accord with the truth of your being. Your hope then is to remove those blockages from speech which have visited you as fear and replace them with motives and energies that have to do with vulnerability, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and absolute honesty. When you have been able to create a safe atmosphere with another entity then communication becomes far easier.
Sometimes it may help in this regard for you to keep a little journal and to write down those things you feel you cannot process at a certain moment. You may find that there is a pattern to this, that certain relationships are almost entirely beyond your ability to process in the present tense, as we think of those things, shall we say, in your consensus reality, in space/time. Nevertheless, it helps sometimes to note down what you can do about this material, to write down how you felt, note simply what was said, or how unjust or just it might be. This is not necessary for you to do. What is helpful is simply to mark the moment and to note especially everything you can remember about your initial reaction.
What is this initial reaction? Let us say that it is an entry into an underground river or stream of emotion, for you never feel emotion alone. It is not your emotion. Rather, it is a part of the color and brilliance of a system of subconscious, shall we say, waterways that begin with streams of emotion that are very small, that perhaps few people experience. They are highly colored and highly biased and may have to do only with you and another person and perhaps three or four dozen other entities on the face of your planet who have experienced just exactly that combination of emotions that creates this crystalline moment with its biases, distortions, color, and beauty.
You are a crystal being, and everything you feel has its truth. You are always worthy to feel what you feel. There is never such a thing as an unworthy emotion. Everything, from seemingly black to seemingly blatant white in polarity, is acceptable to the one infinite Creator. Your job is to see and know the truth of yourself. When you feel these emotions, you may feel they are unworthy, but they are not. They are your truth and in feeling this emotion you have entered into what this instrument calls the archetypal mind.
Within the archetypal mind there is a very rich, detailed, and broad spectrum of waterways, shall we say, emotionally coming from the most biased, and the most colored, and the most unique to you, moving slowly down into larger waterways which you come into as you purify these emotions, as you find distortion and bias and see into that distortion and bias. Over time, through realization and other work in consciousness which is more deliberate and less spontaneous, you begin to purify and refine the sensing system of your energy body so that when you feel the next emotion, even if it is exactly that emotion that was yours the last time that you felt it in connection with this relationship that is ongoing, say, yet you begin to enter into a larger waterway than that in which you are in the company only of those few entities who have your biases and have run into an entity and interacted and that entity has reacted in the same way.
Then Q’uo said that sometimes it may help for us to keep a journal and to write down those things we feel we cannot process at a certain moment, and we may find that certain relationships are almost beyond our ability to process in the present tense in our consensus reality, but it helps to write down the moment and to note everything we can remember about our initial reaction. Q’uo went on to say that our initial reaction may be found by our entry into our underground river of emotion, for we never feel emotion alone because it is not our emotion, but it is a part of the color and brilliance of a system of our subconscious waterways that begin with streams of emotion that are very small, that perhaps few people experience, and they are highly biased and may have to do only with us and another person, and perhaps three or four dozen other entities on the face of our planet who have experienced that combination of emotions that creates this crystalline moment with its biases, distortions, and beauty. Q’uo continued by saying that we are a crystal being, and everything we feel has its truth, so we are always worthy to feel what we feel from everything black to white in polarity, and this is acceptable to the one infinite Creator, for our job is to know the truth of ourself so that when we feel these emotions, we may feel they are unworthy, but they are not because they are our truth, and in feeling these emotions we have entered into what Carla calls the archetypal mind. Now Q’uo said that within the archetypal mind there is a broad spectrum of our emotional waterways coming from the most biased and the most unique to us, moving slowly into larger waterways which we come into as we purify these emotions through realization and other work in consciousness which is more deliberate as we begin to purify the sensing system of our energy body so that when we feel the next emotion we begin to enter into a larger waterway in which we are in the company of those few entities who have our biases, and we have interacted with them in the same way. On September 5, 2010, Carla spoke of the nature of our energy body:
The Love and the Light of the infinite Creator is moving through our energy body in inexhaustible supply at all times. We can’t run out. By stopping the flow of Love through us, by clutching and contracting around our woes and our problems—which we all have—what we can do is stop that flow into the heart, and then we can’t get our hearts open all the way. The fuel is Love. It’s right here. It is inexhaustible. We don’t have to hoard it. All we have to do is live in such a way that our energy bodies are clear so that we get that energy through us at all times.
Penetrating too quickly into the water system and especially into the ocean of the archetypal mind is dangerous for you. It may swamp your boat. And it will certainly land you in a world of confusion that you cannot sort out by yourself. So, as you do this work of attempting to increase your polarization, we encourage you to respect and honor every truth that each emotion offers to you, noting it down. And if you cannot handle working with it at this time, yet still honor and respect your truth, your color, and your brilliance.
Now let us look further at the way in which one polarizes. Let us step back from the question of polarization and look at the energy body with which you are working. For simplification and convenience, that energy body may be thought to consist of the various chakras. And this instrument is aware of a system in which the chakras are as the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo and violet, with the white chakra, shall we say, hovering just at the top of that energy body as a crown. The first three chakras—red, orange and yellow—are the chakras which we would suggest it is helpful to visit every day, asking yourself in meditation, “What are my issues with survival? What are my issues with personal relationships with myself and with those about me? And what are my issues with the groups which I have decided to join as a human being in consensus reality?” These three categories are the categories of the red, orange, and yellow energies.
Every human being living through incarnation upon planet Earth has biases and distortions in those three chakras that need to be gazed at in peace, serenity, and lack of judgment each day, not with a view to kicking out the unwanted emotions or the unwanted distortions, but with a humble and open-handed prayer to be given guidance. Ask for balance. Ask for your guidance system to find ways to show you how to better balance your fears about survival, your concerns regarding relationships, and your puzzlement concerning the feelings, requests, and requirements of the various groups into which you have chosen to come. They may be those relationships of the birth family or the marriage family. They may be work-related. But each group has its own biases and its own distortions, and these are not necessarily a part of your own process. Yet they can pull you and push you and affect the way you perceive yourself and your process. We encourage you to do this work patiently and with a sense of humor, and, most of all, completely without self-judgment. The object here is not to judge the self or to decide how to better the self. The object is to come into an awareness of where you are today.
Now Q’uo said that as we refine our own system of energy and the emotional capacity of that crystalline being that we are to enter into the system of our archetypal mind in such a way that we are with people who have done more work, just as Q’uo has done more work, and what we are aiming for is not to remove emotions but to refine and purify emotions because we are looking for a deeper truth about ourself, and now, when the stream becomes a creek, and the creek becomes a river, the river widens and develops power, and finally it reaches the ocean of archetypal consciousness which is unconditional love, and we cannot rush the sail that we are on, but we can mend our sails on our boat; we can correct and re-correct our readings of the stars; we can check our rudder for strength; but we must sail as the truth of our being is ready to sail. Q’uo went on to say that penetrating too quickly into the into the ocean of the archetypal mind is dangerous for us since it may swamp our boat, and it will land us in a world of confusion that we cannot sort out by ourself, so as we do this work of increasing our polarization, Q’uo encouraged us to honor every truth that each emotion offers to us, and if we cannot handle working with it at this time, yet we should continue to honor our truth, and our brilliance. Q’uo continued by saying they wanted step back from the question of polarization and look at the energy body with which we are working which consists of chakras, and Carla is aware of a system in which the chakras are as the colors of the rainbow: “red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo and violet, with the white chakra, shall we say, hovering just at the top of that energy body as a crown.” Q’uo said the first three chakras—red, orange and yellow—are the chakras which they would suggest it is helpful to visit every day, asking ourself in meditation: “What are my issues with survival? What are my issues with personal relationships with myself and with those about me? And what are my issues with the groups which I have decided to join as a human being in consensus reality?” Q’uo said these three categories are the categories of the red, orange, and yellow energies. Now Q’uo said that every human being living upon planet Earth has distortions in those three chakras that need to be gazed at in peace and lack of judgment each day, not with a view to kicking out the unwanted emotions, but with a humble prayer to be given guidance and to ask for our guidance system to find ways to show us how to better balance our fears about survival, our concerns regarding relationships, and our confusion concerning the requests of the various groups into which we have chosen to come whether they may be our birth family, marriage family, or work-related group because each group has its distortions, and these are not necessarily a part of our own process, but they can push us and affect the way we perceive ourself and our process, so Q’uo encouraged us to do this work with a sense of humor and without self-judgment because the object here is not to judge ourself but to come into an awareness of where we are today. On September 5, 2010, Carla described the nature of our guidance system:
Now the veil makes free will our guide because nothing is known for sure. So, it’s not that we’re completely on our own. We’re most emphatically not on our own. We have our guidance system, and that includes at least three angels, your higher self, and any additional angels that you have attracted to yourself because of your work or the polarity of your basic vibration. And you can have dozens of angels around you. A lot of people in my Christian tradition also find they have affinities to saints, and you can ask the saints to come along with you and be a part of your guidance system.
Then, looking at nature, you have all of the nature spirits that are ready to dance with you. If you’ve ever focused on the animal life around you may have discovered your totems, certain animals that come when you’re at a choice-point or you need confirmation on the way you’re thinking.
All of these strengths await you. But in terms of making the decisions for yourself, you are alone. You can’t just choose to do something because I say it’s a good idea, or because Ra says it’s a good idea, or Jesus says it’s a good idea or Buddha or any person living or dead, or any kind of genius. You can’t give up your power and still do a good job of polarizing. You don’t need to scoot in on anybody else’s coat tails. You are worthy. You will suffice.
Thereason that we so strenuously encourage this work is that where you want to go in the next chakra requires that these three chakras, the basic chakras, be in sufficient balance that the infinite supply of unconditional love and energy for life coming into your energy system from the root chakra or red-ray chakra can move upwards without significant blockage. We do not say without distortion but without significant blockage into the heart. If you cannot clear the lower chakras enough that you are getting a good supply of the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator into the heart chakra, then this is where you need to stop for the moment. It is important for you to be able to rest in the sacred space of your own open heart and to know yourself there before you can really do work in consciousness with any confidence that you will not harm yourself or confuse yourself more than you clarify things for yourself. As we have said many times through this instrument, there are what this instrument calls “lions at the gate” guarding your entry into your own heart. Listen to those lions and find the patience with yourself to do the work that it takes to make entry into your heart in such a way that the lions not only allow you to pass, but give you the feeling that they are now guarding your back.
Then take a few moments to rest in the consciousness of yourself in its larger sense. For you have, when you pass the first three chakras and move into the heart, moved from the outer personality into the inner truth, from space/time into time/space and from judgment into redemption or forgiveness. For you have become a larger you. The “I” that is the first-person singular of you is significantly changed in the atmosphere and the sanctity of the open heart. When you feel that you are beginning to vibrate with unconditional love, you have then achieved that expanded awareness of the truth of who you are. Resting, then, in this truth, it is now safe for you to do your work in consciousness.
Your first work in consciousness is to come into open communication with yourself. You have put judgment away. That is not part of your personality anymore. You have put doubt away. You are dwelling as a citizen of eternity. Your possibilities have become infinite. The world has dropped away in terms of consensus reality, and you are living at this moment, doing this work in time/space and in the company of all who have gone before you, living a life in faith, dwelling in the sacred temple of the open heart. Here you are never alone. The Creator Itself holds you in an embrace that is nearer to you than your breathing, closer to you than your body. If you need to—and it is sometimes necessary to realize that this is all you need and all you can bear—crawl into the lap of that great entity that is the Creator, however you may see this entity—Mother, Father, Great Principle. Crawl into this loving lap and rest. Do no more than that if this is what you need. Let angels surround you. Let the Love that is completely unconditional, that created you and sustains you, now rock you and sing to you and sleep the sleep of one who is loved as a child is loved by its mother.
If, on the other hand, you dwell in that temple and are ready for more, then by all means move into those energies you wish to explore. If you feel that you have explored the blue-ray energy of open communication thoroughly, and you are ready to move into work in consciousness, then you may work at visualization, meditation, contemplation, or any other roads that you seem called at that one moment of work to begin to walk along. There are many paths. They do all lead to the Creator. You cannot take an incorrect path in thought, or in meditation, or in practice. And you need to move by feelings, by that resonance that tells you when you are on the right track. The blockages that you have spoken of are those within your energy body that would narrow the inrush area of the incoming energy of the one infinite Creator.
Q’uo said that the reason they encouraged this work is that where we want to go in our heart chakra requires that these three chakras be balanced enough that the infinite supply of unconditional love and energy for life coming into our energy system from the red-ray chakra can move upwards without significant blockage because if we cannot clear the lower chakras enough so that we are getting a good supply of the infinite Love and Light of the one Creator into our heart chakra, then this is where we need to stop and rest in the sacred space of our open heart and to know ourself before we can do work in consciousness without confusing ourself more than we clarify things for ourself, and Q’uo said there are what Carla calls “lions at the gate” guarding our entry into our heart, so we should listen to those lions and find patience to do the work that it takes for us to enter into our heart in a way that the lions not only allow us to pass, but they give us the feeling that they are guarding our back. Then Q’uo suggested that we take a few moments to rest in the consciousness of ourself in its larger sense, for when we pass the first three chakras and move into our heart, we have moved from our outer personality into our inner truth, and from judgment into forgiveness, for we have become larger, and the “I” that is our first-person singular is significantly changed in the sanctity of our open heart so that when we feel that we are beginning to vibrate with unconditional love, we have achieved expanded awareness of the truth of who we are, so we can rest in this truth, and it is now safe for us to do our work in consciousness. Q’uo went on to say that our first work in consciousness is to come into open communication with ourself because we have put judgment and doubt away since we are a citizen of eternity, and our possibilities have become infinite, and we are doing this work in time/space, of living a life in faith, dwelling in the sacred temple of our open heart, and here the Creator Itself holds us in an embrace that is nearer to us than our breathing, closer to us than our body, and we if need to we can crawl into the lap of the Creator and rest, and let angels surround us, and let the Love that is unconditional, that created us and sustains us, rock and sing to us to the sleep of one who is loved as a child is loved by its mother. Q’uo continued by saying that if we dwell in that temple and are ready for more, then we can move into those energies we wish to explore so that if we feel that we have explored the blue-ray energy of open communication thoroughly, and we are ready to move into work in consciousness, then we may work at meditation or any other roads that we feel called at moment of work to begin to walk along as all paths lead to the Creator, and we cannot take an incorrect path in meditation or in practice so that we need to move by that resonance that tells us when we are on the right path because the blockages that Q’uo has spoken of are those within our energy body that would reduce the area of the incoming energy of the one infinite Creator. On August 30, 1981, Hatonn said that all paths lead to the one Creator:
Each has that which might be of aid to those who travel that path. In short, may we say, it is your choice to pursue your path and there is nothing but the one path that you pursue, and we would suggest, if we might, that within the depths of your being you are quite aware of the path that you pursue, and in meditation you shall discover the path upon which you wish to tread. Do not be concerned if from time to time the path appears to change. We would suggest that the path is long, and the path is one, and your journey on that path can yield nothing but success, for all paths lead to the one infinite Creator.
Nowpicture with us, if you will, the image of this metaphysical body that is interpenetrating your physical body. There are two sources of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. One is universal. It moves from the base chakra upwards. The other source is much more focused and pointed. It is the result of the work in consciousness that you have previously done and that exact point at which you are now entering, doing this work at this moment. And this is experienced as coming down through the crown chakra into the violet ray. It moves from the violet ray according to the ways of your energy body. It will not harm you, and if it cannot move further than the violet ray, it will remain there, and it will not pull the energy upward.
However, when you have achieved an entrance into the open heart and are seated, shall we say, that is, physically speaking, in the green ray, in that temple of the heart, then your hands are empty, and you are seeking. Then that universal energy may be pulled upward to where the intelligent direction of your guidance system would cause it to go and your guidance system’s energy, coming down from above, will meet your universal energy at that point. This is work that cannot be thought out or done on purpose. Rather it is a matter of trusting your process and offering your prayer with empty hands, not saying “Lord, I need this; Lord, I need that,” but saying, “I come to you seeking the truth of myself. Show me that which you have to offer me this day. Help me to be a part of the creative or Godhead system. Give me my daily bread. Give me that which I may work with and learn from just for today.” And then allow silence and faith to rest with you as you sit in the temple of your own heart. Many things may come to you as you sit and rest. Again, take them in without judgment; without reservation. Repeat the process as often as you can, daily if possible, and over time you will begin to see why it is called a spiritual process.
My sister, you are asking for the hardest work imaginable within third density. It is work which the physical body literally cannot bear without help. That is why we so greatly encourage the clearing of the first three chakras before doing work in consciousness. You do not want to sublimate these basic red-yellow-orange issues in order to get at work in consciousness. No matter how boring or less than exciting it may seem to do the clearing work necessary before opening the heart, this is what protects your physical body and maintains it for you so that work in consciousness will not create a serious mismatch between third-density issues and fourth-density learning. You need, therefore, gently and patiently to bring that physical body into balance and bring the three chakras having to do with the physical body into more and more clarity. It is a matter of knowing who you are on so many levels. And you shall not come to a place where you will know everything there is to know about your physical body or your physical energy body. New information will come to you every day. New situations will change your tuning in red ray or yellow ray or orange ray every day. So, you cannot simply do the work and then move on. It is repetitive, daily work. You already have an absolute and overwhelming love for how it feels to be in the open heart. And a great deal of your service in this incarnation has been done from an open heart. Yet we ask you, my sister, “What have you left behind in your rush to open the heart, and what do you need to collect lovingly and patiently so that when you move into your heart you bring all of yourself?”
Letus look at the figure of the redemptive Jesus, for the one known as Jesus, as you have told this instrument previously, is very dear to you. Therefore, we will use this particular teacher and what this teacher has to say about the open heart in looking at your situation. The Creator requests of you that you take up your cross and follow the one known as Jesus. We are not speaking literally or dogmatically here, but we are using an image and a figure or a structure, if you will, which many people of faith have been able to use well. What is it to take up one’s cross but to honor your suffering, to know it and not to turn away from it or to avoid it but take it upon yourself. It is said, “For his yoke is easy and his burden is light.” What makes this yoke easy? What makes this burden light?
The one known as Jesus said, “When you see me you do not see me but you see the Father who sent me.” Can you see how that illuminates the challenge to take up your cross and follow? You are not following an entity known as Jesus. You are following the one the Father sent to do His will. You are following an entity that was described by the one known as Jesus over and over again in ways that would indicate that this entity wished, when you said the name “Jesus,” not to think of a personal consciousness but to think of unconditional Love. And this entity put itself on a cross to express what unconditional Love is. This entity expressed it literally as the giving without expectation of return. And in that unconditional giving lies the key to the entry into fourth density. So, the one known as Jesus as a teacher was saying to you, “Love is the way; love is the truth and love is the life.” Thusly we say to you, as you focus yourself into work in consciousness, “Know who you are.”
Q’uo asked us to see the image of this metaphysical body that is interpenetrating our physical body, because there are two sources of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator, and one is universal and moves from the base chakra upwards, and the other source is more focused and is the result of work in consciousness that we have previously done at that point which we are now entering, so we experience this as coming down through our crown chakra into the violet ray, and it moves from the violet ray according to the ways of our energy body, but it will not harm us, and if it cannot move further than our violet ray, it will remain there, and it will not pull the energy upward. Then Q’uo said that when we have achieved entrance into our open heart and are seated in the temple of our heart, then our hands are empty, and we are seeking, and then that universal energy may be pulled upward to where the intelligent direction of our guidance system would cause it to go, and our guidance system’s energy coming down from above will meet our universal energy at that point, but this is work that cannot be done on purpose because it is a matter of trusting our process and offering our prayer with empty hands, not saying “Lord, I need this; Lord, I need that,” but saying: “I come to you seeking the truth of myself. Show me that which you have to offer me this day. Help me to be a part of the creative or Godhead system. Give me my daily bread. Give me that which I may work with and learn from just for today.” Then Q’uo said we should allow silence and faith to rest with us as we sit in the temple of own heart, and many things may come to us as we sit and rest, and we can take them in without judgment and then repeat the process as often as we can so that over time we will see why it is called a spiritual process. Q’uo went on to say that we are asking for the hardest work imaginable within third density, and it is work which our physical body cannot bear without help so that is why they encouraged our clearing of the first three chakras before doing work in consciousness because we do not want to redirect these basic red-yellow-orange issues in order to get at work in consciousness, and no matter how boring it may seem to do the clearing work necessary before opening our heart, this is what protects our physical body and maintains it for us so that work in consciousness will not create a mismatch between third-density issues and fourth-density learning. Now Q’uo said that we need to gently bring our physical body into balance and bring the three lower chakras into more clarity so that it is a matter of knowing who we are on many levels, and we shall not come to a place where we will know everything there is to know about our physical body or our physical energy body, but new information will come to us every day that will change our tuning in red ray, yellow ray, or orange ray, so we cannot do the work and then move on, and a great deal of our service in this incarnation has been done from our open heart, but Q’uo asked: “What have you left behind in your rush to open the heart, and what do you need to collect lovingly and patiently so that when you move into your heart you bring all of yourself?” Then Q’uo said that they wanted to look at the figure of Jesus and what this teacher has to say about the open heart in looking at our situation, so the Creator asks us to take up our cross and follow Jesus, but Q’uo was not speaking literally here, but they were using an image which many people of faith have been able to use well, so what is it to take up one’s cross but to honor our suffering and take it upon ourself, for it is said, “For his yoke is easy and his burden is light,” But what makes this yoke easy? And what makes this burden light? So Q’uo said that Jesus said, “When you see me you do not see me, but you see the Father who sent me.” And Q’uo asked if we could see how that illuminates the challenge to take up our cross because we are not following an entity known as Jesus, but we are following the one the Father sent to do His will, so we are following the unconditional Love that Jesus represented as He put Himself on a cross to express what unconditional Love is, and Jesus expressed it literally as the giving without expectation of return, and in that unconditional giving lies the key to the entry into fourth density, so Jesus was saying to us, “Love is the way; Love is the truth and Love is the life.” So Q’uo said as we focus ourself into work in consciousness, “Know who you are.” On August 3, 1997, Q’uo described the nature of unconditional Love:
The great quest for this “pearl of great price” is that quest which, for most, encompasses the entire life, for to open the heart in unconditional Love to those about one is a task difficult enough that it eludes and confuses most. For it is far, far too easy and tempting to take offense, to give offense, to be confused, and to move through the incarnation on unsteady metaphysical feet. However, when one has been privileged to taste that unconditional Love moving to and from one’s own heart, then the blessings of this experience tend to open for one the next step and the next and the next so that the opportunity to share this Love is ever present. This Love has a power unto itself that is like no other. It draws to one who expresses it those experiences and those entities which are in need of the service of unconditional Love. Worry not, my brother, about what you shall do, for it is set before you, and it shall be yours.
This instrument is instructing us that we must wind up our main question, and so we would simply once again touch upon your question concerning the balance between love and wisdom. And here, my sister, we would say to you that you have challenged yourself within this incarnation with this balance between love and wisdom. And why would you challenge yourself? It is not because you do not have enough of either, but because you may have an overbalance towards love. And in that regard we would ask you, when doing work in consciousness, to visit the blockages within those first three chakras, asking yourself the question, “Am I worthy?”
The open heart knows the answer to that question, but when you are doing work in consciousness you are the Creator, and so you have a great deal of capacity both to learn and to delude yourself. Therefore, examine the love you have for yourself and the redemption that you know that you possess. And wherever you find yourself unredeemed by your own self, wherever you find yourself judged by yourself, we ask you to move to the foot of the cross and look up into the eyes of the one known as Jesus. We remind you of the stress of this entity upon the cross as he hung between two thieves and murderers. We remind you that one thief asked the one known as Jesus, “Master, when you get to Paradise, will you think of me?” The one known as Jesus said, “This day you are with me in Paradise.” Your redemption is absolute. It is not time-bound. It is not local. It has nothing to do with how imperfect you are. It has to do with the fact that you too are part of the Creator.
Q’uo went on to say that in a way we are our pain, so if we may see that we need to carry that cross into the sacred space of our heart, we do not need to get rid of that pain, but we need to honor that pain, and as we collect it into ourself, we are collecting the darkness within us so that no shadow remains of which we would say, “That is not part of me.” because we wish to collect all of ourself into the sacred space, and then we wish to follow the ways of unconditional Love in that sacred space, and the way that we follow Love is to trust it, and to know that it is our truth, and it is our larger consciousness, so if we cannot feel every iota of that unconditional Love, then we should be patient, and we should await in faith for the realization that is to come. Q’uo continued by saying that they wanted to speak upon the question concerning the balance between love and wisdom, and they said that we have challenged ourself within this incarnation with the balance between love and wisdom because we may have an overbalance towards love, so Q’uo asked us when we are doing work in consciousness, to visit the blockages within those first three chakras, to ask ourself the question, “Am I worthy?” Q’uo completed their response by saying that our open heart knows the answer to that question, but when we are doing work in consciousness we are the Creator, and so we have a great deal of capacity both to learn and to delude ourself so that we should examine the love we have for ourself and the redemption that we know that we possess, and wherever we find ourself judged by ourself, Q’uo asked that we to move to the foot of the cross and look up into the eyes of Jesus because Q’uo wanted to remind us of the stress of this entity upon the cross as He hung between two thieves and murderers, so they reminded us that one thief asked Jesus: “Master, when you get to Paradise, will you think of me?” The one known as Jesus said, “This day you are with me in Paradise.” So Q’uo said that our redemption is absolute, and it has nothing to do with how imperfect we are, but it has to do with the fact that we are also part of the Creator. On September 5, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the balance between love and wisdom:
Before incarnation, it was your judgment that the love, the wisdom, and the power or will within you may not be completely in balance, according to the highest and best vision that your infinite and eternal spirit would judge. And so, you sat down with your higher self, or, as this instrument sometimes calls it, your guidance system, before incarnation and planned carefully the shape and the general themes of an incarnation within this system of illusions that you call reality or life. Having only your faculty of faith at your side, you wished within this fiery furnace of life on Earth to take an incarnationally long look at this balance that you have within your self, largely the balance between love and wisdom.
For many entities coming into incarnation and already qualified for graduation to fourth density—which is your case, my sister—the balance between love and wisdom is, by your own judgment, that is, to be long on love and short on wisdom. It is, in fact, one of this instrument’s incarnational lessons. And so we speak to you both when we say that many of the changes in both of your lives have to do with reining in this tremendously large heart that you have and this enormous desire to serve and finding a slightly enhanced balance between love and wisdom in which you have granted to wisdom a larger portion of the value that you place upon your thoughts.
Wisdom does not seem to be as important as the open heart to you both and the absolute love that you both value so much. Yet love without wisdom creates a sense of martyrdom, and often an abbreviated end to an incarnation as an entity keeps giving beyond that which she can give, until she literally breaks her health and is therefore taken out of the incarnation by illness. Therefore, this instrument has worked long and hard on a very conscious level for some years at attempting to be more and more aware of the importance of asking for the gift of wisdom.
We thank you, my sister, for these beautiful questions and for the delight it has been for us to share our thoughts with you on them and would ask at this time if there are follow-up questions that you would like to ask? We are those of Q’uo.
S: No. There is a great deal here for me to ponder, digest and work upon and use. And until I do that, I won’t have any further questions. I need to think a great deal and work with it. And I thank you so, so very much for all that you are doing for us. This is a difficult time right now and I cannot express how much it means, the love and the care and the help that you give us.
We are those of Q’uo, and, my sister, we thank you too and would express our humility in the face of the beauty that you offer to us. We thank each of those within this circle for the beauty of their being and for their willingness to stop and yield moments of their precious time in order that they may come to the circle of seeking and seek that truth. We seek it with you, my sister, and we simply leave you and this circle in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We rejoice. We are at peace ,and we rest in all that there is. We are those known to you as the principle of the Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai.
This morning I removed the plywood and stones that I put over the Moss Garden next to Little Locust Creek yesterday to protect the moss from being washed away by the heavy rain that was predicted. We got about 5 inches of rain, so I am glad that the moss was able to survive the rain. Then I gathered another cart load of moss and transplanted it into the area in my Moss Garden that is close to Little Locust Creek.
This afternoon I went across the street to my neighbor’s yard and filled one of the bird feeders with bird seed and then scattered more bird seed on the ground for the squirrels and deer. Then I went inside and visited with my neighbor for about half an hour just to see how she is doing since her husband passed into larger life about a year ago.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 16
The First Item On The Agenda
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine Love.
Stand upon the rocky crag and gaze out over the broad land of this precious day. You have the long view now. Perhaps you have an agenda, a list, a plan for the day. But have you placed first the divine order of Love in action?
Love in action creates a system of natural laws. Any person with an agenda which does not recognize first the source of inspiration which makes all things beautiful is going to experience a day less blessed, less full of Love, and less inspired.
As you set your agenda, let your first item be to seek first the natural order of the divine Father, for this allows the inspiration, the breath of the soul, to make vital that inner self which knows so much more than the agenda-maker who sat upon the bare rock of a morning and only gazed at his agenda and not at the divine beauty of the larger view and the natural order.
Let peace flow through your veins as heavenly blood. Let inspiration be your heavenly bread. And let your day be blessed with inspiration and peace, as you know that you are doing the Father’s will for you today.
We leave you in that love and peace, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to the infinite love, light, and power of the one infinite Creator, and we ask that the one infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight, and may all souls on Earth our love, light, and healing energies. Amen.
