I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from September 18, 2005:
The question today, Q’uo, has to do with the fact that so many of us who are here on Earth at this time wishing to be of service to others have found a great deal to do. We live at the speed of computers, jets, and commuting. The problem seems to be, for many people, how to get everything done that you want to do. It seems like some things have to be left off! There isn’t enough time in the day for one person to do what that person has set beforehand for herself. How do you go about prioritizing your expenditure of energy in the area of serving other people? Do you listen to your heart that says you give everything you have got to each person that comes your way one at a time? Or do you try to use some wisdom; do you try to tear down, logically, the load that you’ve got so that it’s more manageable? We would appreciate any thoughts that you have in this area of organizing our energies, being of service, and not wearing ourselves out with trying to do everything that’s in front of us.
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo, and we greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we are privileged to come to you this day. We thank each of you for the beauty of your being and the power of your dedication to seeking the truth. We thank you for forming a circle of seeking and for calling us to speak with you concerning the use of your time in the time of your usefulness. As always, we would ask of you one clarion thing and we would be as clear as a trumpet as we say to you to take responsibility for discriminating as you listen to our thoughts. Do not take them into your being if they do not resonate with you. If you will guard your own temple, then we shall feel free to offer our opinion without being concerned that we may infringe upon your free will. Your process of growth is precious and it needs not to be disturbed but to grow very organically.
Your query this day concerns how to maximize the use of your time. It is understood in this question that you are on the path of service to others and so this is not a talk about how to choose between service to self and service to others, yet it is a talk that encompasses the question of how service to others works. Your group has asked us many questions in the last little while concerning the nature of being, and, as we hear this question concerning the use of time, we find ourselves relating this question to the question of being. In the best of all possible worlds, that which you do flows from the fount of being within you.
Those who work in more physical ways must do their work working with machines or using their bodies to create more order out of the chaos of nature’s bounty, as the one known as Jim does in his gardening. Certainly, the one known as C must take many steps, climb many ladders, and investigate many malfunctions and difficulties as she goes about creating order and beauty in the pattern of her rental business. Whatever the kind of work that you do is, the gist of your query to us this day concerns not the work itself but your choices of two things: precisely what task you shall choose in any given day or moment, and what attitude or point of view you shall choose as you offer yourself in service.
Energy expenditure is little understood among your people. You do not understand where your energy comes from. There is an abiding belief that energy is personal, and that it belongs to you. When you go to sleep, you are thinking in terms of restoring your energy. When you make an effort you think of it as your effort. This is entirely understandable. Nevertheless, your energy is the energy of the Creator. Your life is the life of the Creator. Your path is the path of the one infinite Creator. You are a miracle, astonishing in your perfection, breathtaking in your brilliance, and unknown to yourself.
The group question for this session was: “We would appreciate any thoughts that you have in this area of organizing our energies, being of service, and not wearing ourselves out with trying to do everything that’s in front of us.” Q’uo began by saying our query concerns how to maximize the use of our time, and it is understood in this question that we are on the path of service to others, and so this is not a talk about how to choose between service to self and service to others since it is a talk that reveals how the question of service to others works, and our group has asked questions in the past concerning the nature of being, and concerning this question about the use of time Q’uo found themselves relating this question to the question of being so that in the best of all worlds, that which we do flows from the fount of being within us. Q’uo went on to say that Jim has made a vow to invoke the mantra to “relax and enjoy” whenever he becomes aware that he has lost his balance and is no longer resting in his own peace and power, so Q’uo began by saying that this mantra is good for any of us who wishes to serve others well, but it is not to the fleet of foot that the race against time goes because the winner of that race is the one who remembers to stop running and to rest, but Q’uo did not mean this literally since even the most abstract work involves movement, but once the choice of tasks is made our fingers move across the computer keyboard, and our mind and body create patterns and thoughts where before there was nothing. Q’uo continued by saying those of us who work in physical ways must do our work with machines or using our bodies to create more order out of the chaos of nature’s bounty, as Jim does in his gardening, and C must climb many ladders and investigate many difficulties as she goes about creating order and beauty in her rental business, so whatever kind of work that we do is the nature of our query to Q’uo this day and concerns not the work itself but our choices of two things: what task we shall choose on any day, and what attitude we shall choose as we offer ourself in service. Then Q’uo said energy expenditure is little understood among our people because we do not understand where our energy comes from, so there is a belief that energy is personal, and that it belongs to us, and when we go to sleep, we are thinking in terms of restoring our energy, and when we make an effort, we think of it as our effort, but our energy is the energy of the Creator; our life is the life of the Creator; our path is the path of the one infinite Creator; and we are a miracle, breathtaking in our brilliance, and unknown to ourself. On March 18, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the nature of how our energy expenditure is part of our spiritual journey:
It is well to remain mindful, as you have put it, during your diurnal cycles, of the one Creator and one’s seeking of the Creator, for your illusion is one which is designed to give experiences that move one in and out of the presence or the mindfulness of the one Creator, for when one seems to move away from this mindfulness, there is created within that likened unto the vacuum which pulls the consciousness back again to the seeking, to the questioning, to the asking. Then that which is learned by such questing again allows one to move outward, as it were, only to return again, and again, in what is an upward spiraling path of energy expenditure. Each entity must needs create the pattern for this spiral. That which you create has significance in your journey as it comes from your desires, rather than being imposed by any outside source such as ourselves, beyond the general recommendation that periodic rituals of remembrance, shall we say, are helpful in each entity’s journey.
You are a nexus, a crossroads, shall we say. You have offered yourself to incarnation in order to create this nexus or crossroads of illusory reality within an environment of third-density existence. You chose to enter third-density existence and create this point of potential because you realized in gazing upon the Earth plane, that you wished to express the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator within this precise environment.
Wedo not have to paint the stark picture of your environment. For all of the surpassing beauty of the world of nature that makes up the vast majority of this environment, the passion play of humankind has created a drama that unfolds before you in details and patterns of outworking expressions of the distress and confusion of a lost humanity. You did not come to add to the sorrow and the distress of this environment. Rather, you entered incarnation with a firm intention of being a part of the lightening of planet Earth at this time. You came to offer a local habitation to the ineffable and illimitable values of compassion, wisdom and unconditional Love. It could be said in a way that you came to save the world, and yet you did not in any way say to yourself, “I have to come to save the world.” What you said to yourself, was, “I come to bear witness to the Light and the Love of the One whom I follow, that Logos that is the Creator.”
This instrument has been studying the nature of the archetypal mind as set forth by those of Ra in Book IV in the Law of One series in order to respond to questions in one of her forum e-mail groups. She is aware of the Ra’s statement that the archetypical mind is the blueprint or builded structure of all energy expenditures within incarnation in this local habitation of third density. Therefore, logically, an investigation of the most appropriate choices of energy expenditure would turn to the study of the archetypes.
Then Q’uo said we are a crossroads, and we have offered ourself to incarnation in order to create this crossroads of illusory reality within the third-density, and we chose to enter third-density to create this point of potential because we realized in gazing upon the Earth plane, that we wished to express the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator within this environment. Q’uo went on to say they do not have to paint the dark picture of our environment, for all of the beauty of the world of nature that makes up the majority of this environment is the passion play of humankind that has created a drama that unfolds before us in patterns of expressions of the confusion of a lost humanity, but we did not come to add to the sorrow of this environment because we entered incarnation with an intention of being a part of the lightening of planet Earth at this time, and we came to offer ourselves to the infinite values of unconditional Love, so it could be said that we came to save the world, and we did not say to ourself, “I have to come to save the world,” but what we said to ourself was, “I come to bear witness to the Light and the Love of the One whom I follow, that Logos that is the Creator.” Q’uo continued by asking: “What is it to bear witness to the Light? What is it to follow the embodiment of Love?” They said it is no tangible thing, but it is more real to us than our body and closer to us than our breath, and energy expenditure is only possible when there is a local habitation for that energy in third density, so we have come into manifestation as a mind, body, and spirit which serves the Creator, and to move to the depth of such energy expenditure and to investigate its source, we must apply to the Creator Itself. Now Q’uo said Carla has been studying the nature of the archetypal mind as set forth by those of Ra in Book IV in the Law of One series in order to respond to questions in one of her forum e-mail groups, and she is aware of Ra’s statement that the archetypical mind is the blueprint of all energy expenditures within incarnation in the third density so that an investigation of the most appropriate choices of energy expenditure would be to turn to the study of the archetypes. In 91.37, Ra spoke of the archetypical mind as the blueprint of all energy expenditures in the third density:
Questioner: So for an individual who wishes to consciously augment his own evolution, an ability to recognize and utilize the archetypes would be beneficial in sorting out that which he wished to seek and that which he found— and that which would be found then as not as efficient a seeking tool. Would this be a good statement?
Ra: I am Ra. This is a fairly adequate statement. The term “efficient” might also fruitfully be replaced by the term “undistorted.” The archetypical mind, when penetrated lucidly, is a blueprint of the builded structure of all energy expenditures and all seeking, without distortion. This, as a resource within the deep mind, is of great potential aid to the adept.
The listening ear and the understanding heart of those who hear your story create resonances that support and validate your archetypal process. You are not aware that you have solved any problems by sharing your stories, yet you have expended the Creator’s energy in ways that have built up each of you as well as building up the adhering and abiding energy of the group itself in sharing your essence. Moreover, you have alerted vast sources of energy which are unseen within your plane of existence, yet which add tremendously to the available energy within the system that this group creates as it sits in this circle. Any two entities listening to each other in an atmosphere of support have much the same dynamic. Any entity conversing with its guidance system, moreover, creates this same dynamic if the guidance that is requested is then listened to, heard, and responded to within the context of the ongoing, daily life. You do not pray into a void. There is in every prayer a conversation with the divine within you.
We realize that your query is about how to choose what tasks to accomplish in any one day. Perhaps you may begin to see that, to our way of thinking, that question lacks priority. To our way of thinking, the priority in any day needs to be first, “What is the Creator’s will for me this day?” We wish to move your thoughts away from the specific and into the underlying nature of your being who is the self that comes to the moment and begins to do the work of the day. Look deeply into this question in order to retrieve your self in your entirety and wholeness from the shredding influence of detail. When you begin to work, let the self that begins that work be that self which has come to bear witness to the Light. Let that self rest in its own nature. Indeed, dear ones, be intransigent in your determination to retain your identity. Then, that which you do shall be flowing through you and not from you. Your personality may flow and bubble along behind the essential self that you are and enjoy the Light.
But that personality shell needs not to be the one doing the work. Know that the Creator is working through your nexus. This instrument, as part of her tuning process, prays, “Fill the heart of your faithful and kindle in her the fire of your Love. Send forth Your spirit and she will be created and You shall renew the face of the Earth.” Whether you work at mowing a lawn, writing a paper, fixing a window, or responding to a correspondent, you work as an agent of the transformative power of the one infinite Creator. You are magical. And what you do is effortless when you remember that you are only here to bear witness to the Light. You are here to dance, to play the pipe and timbrel and to be a part of the whirling, rhythmic pattern of all that there is.
Now Q’uo said we realize that the depth of the gap between our present ability to contemplate the archetypical mind and our skillful use of that powerful resource is tremendous, and we may feel that it is impossible to bridge that gap, and they said that in some ways it is impossible for us to be able to have a grasp of archetypal processes, especially as they are ongoing within our energy system, but the gift of our story, without knowing what we know or how we know it, is in telling each other our story we accidentally touch upon various aspects of our archetypal mind, and it is helpful that this group met today, not simply to ask Q’uo a question but also to tell each other our stories. Q’uo went on to say that the listening ear and the understanding heart of those who hear our story create resonances that support our archetypal process, and we are not aware that we have solved any problems by sharing our stories, yet we have expended the Creator’s energy in ways that have built up each of us as well as building up the abiding energy of the group itself in sharing our essence so that we have alerted sources of energy which are unseen within our plane of existence which add to the energy within the system that this group creates as it sits in this circle, and any two entities listening to each other in an atmosphere of support have the same dynamic, and when we converse with our guidance system we create this same dynamic if the guidance that is requested is then listened to and responded to within the context of our daily life, and we do not pray into a void because there is in every prayer a conversation with the divine within us. Q’uo continued by saying they realized that our query is about how to choose what tasks to accomplish in any day, and we may begin to see that question lacks priority, and the priority in any day needs to be first, “What is the Creator’s will for me this day?” So Q’uo wanted to move our thoughts away from the specific and into the basic nature of our being that is that comes to the moment and begins to do the work of the day, so we should look deeply into this question in order to retrieve ourself in our entirety and wholeness from the shredding influence of detail, and when we begin to work, let the self that begins that work be that self which has come to bear witness to the Light, and let that self rest in its own nature, so we should be steady in our determination to retain our identity, and then that which we do shall be flowing through us and not from us because our personality may flow behind the essential self that we are and enjoy the Light. Then Q’uo said our personality shell needs not to be the one doing the work since the Creator is working through our connection and, as part of her tuning process Carla prays: “Fill the heart of your faithful and kindle in her the fire of your Love. Send forth Your spirit and she will be created and You shall renew the face of the Earth.” So, Q’uo said whether we work at writing a paper or responding to a correspondent we work as an agent of the transformative power of the one infinite Creator, and what we do is effortless when we remember that we are here to bear witness to the Light; we are here to dance; and to be a part of the rhythmic pattern of all that there is. On July 16, 2005, Q’uo said that we all bear witness to the Light and Love of the one infinite Creator:
Each of you, then, represents not only the self but an extended family, as it were, of beings that have allied themselves in various partnerships for this period of time and space. There is a time upon your planet that is ongoing wherein all of your energies have been called to bear witness to the Light and the Love of the one infinite Creator.
Ifyou can retain this basic remembrance of your point of view, then we do invite you to use your conscious, intellectual, analytical mind to make those choices of what task you shall pick and how you shall proceed. As you make those choices, open yourself to those sacred impulses within you which sense the rightness of the present moment. This instrument, for instance, has expressed her feeling that each entity that contacts her is a spirit which has a need to be heard.
[Side one of tape ends.]
Yet, as this entity becomes aware of the cry for help of that one who wrote in to her, she is that entity which is bearing witness to that help that has already been received, not because she responded but because the universe itself responds to every cry for help. The act of asking this instrument for validation activates for the one asking for help a chain of events that is completely independent of her and whether or not she responds to the correspondent.
In the moment of asking, that correspondent has created channels for energy to move within him or her from the guidance system within him or her and from the environment, spiritually speaking, which surrounds that correspondent. Things are not as they seem to be. They are not linear, nor are they bound by space and time. However, it is because each of you has become a location in space and time by virtue of incarnating that these non-local processes may work. We would suggest to each of you that you breathe deeply, in and out, knowing that life is one breath at a time; yet it is infinite.
We suggest that you look at yourself with that same double realization that you are local, flesh, and blood, a gathering point at a crossroads through which Spirit may speak and move and, at the same time, you are all that there is: non-local, not bound by selfhood, bound only by the awareness of the harvest of all the energy that you have processed, harvested and developed into the flower that you are at this moment.
Q’uo continued by saying if we can retain this basic remembrance of our point of view, then they invited us to use our analytical mind to make those choices of what task we shall pick and how we shall proceed, and as we make those choices, open ourself to those sacred impulses within us which sense the rightness of the present moment, so Carla has expressed her feeling that each entity that contacts her is a spirit which needs to be heard. Then Q’uo said that as Carla becomes aware of the cry for help of that one who wrote to her, she is bearing witness to that help that has already been received, not because she responded, but because the universe responds to every cry for help, and the act of asking her for validation activates, for the one asking for help, a chain of events that is independent of her and whether or not she responds to the correspondent. Q’uo went on to say in the moment of asking, that correspondent has created channels for energy to move within him or her from the guidance system within him or her and from the environment, spiritually speaking, which surrounds that correspondent because things are not as they seem to be since they are not linear, nor are they bound by space and time, but it is because each of us has become a location in space and time by virtue of incarnating that these non-local processes may work, so Q’uo suggested to each of us that we breathe deeply, in and out, knowing that life is one breath at a time, yet it is infinite. Q’uo completed their reply by suggesting that we look at ourself with that same double realization that we are flesh, and blood, a gathering point at a crossroads through which Spirit may speak and move and, at the same time, we are all that there is: “non-local, not bound by selfhood, bound only by the awareness of the harvest of all the energy that you have processed, harvested and developed into the flower that you are at this moment.” On September 19, 1993, Q’uo spoke of how we can become a seeker through which Spirit may speak:
We recommend meditation often, and our reason for doing so is precisely its effect upon the spiritual seeker, for the incarnational experience is one of action, and yet, if there is constant action, how can the fundamental nature of the pure self be felt or perceived? And without that self-knowledge, how then can the seeker move skillfully back into action in ways which address the deep concerns of seeking? How can one become more aware of one’s true nature unless one is willing to sit with the self, listening to that inner silence through which spirit and guidance speak to the conscious mind?
We would at this time ask if there are any further queries from this group? We are those of Q’uo.
[No further queries.]
My friends, it is rare when there is no question at the end of our speech! But we hear only silence through this instrument’s hearing apparatus, and so we assume that the fund of questions for this day has been exhausted. May we say what a privilege and pleasure it has been to share our humble thoughts with you at this time and to rest with you upon the waves of consciousness as they flow from the Creator to the Creator. We leave you as we found you, in the Love, the Light, the power, and the peace of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, Adonai.
This morning I went into the living room and placed the new white chairs in their proper locations for our attendees for the public channeling session that we will have this afternoon.
This afternoon we had twelve seekers of truth attending our public channeling meditation. We had some new friends join us from Detroit and from eastern Kentucky, and during our round robin we were able to feel the open hearts of each seeker sharing the most important recent part of their spiritual journeys. Q’uo channeled answers to five questions, but I don’t remember more than the question of how to blend the spiritual journey with consensus reality. I enjoyed the conversation after the channeling that went back and forth from each seeker to another that shared more of the spiritual journey of each seeker.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 22
Your Inner And Outer Universe
I am the spirit of the living Christ. I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ, in the full consciousness of divine Love.
We ask you to consider your environment at this moment. Each of the stars in your night sky careens in perfect balance along its cosmic track and about your sun your planet travels in that self-same regularity, all elements harmonizing into the divine plan which affords opportunity that spiritual consciousness may grow in you.
Contemplate, within, that universe of cells which makes up each organ and member of your physical body. Know and feel the utter harmony and regularity of those infinitesimal galaxies as in their whirling they create bases for that energy field which you experience as a living body.
Is any member or organ of that body seemingly out of harmony? If so, allow the Spirit to offer instruction as, in your knowing and inner faith, in a deep way, you speak to your own body, telling it of the wonder and perfection of the creation of the Father.
Each of you has within you the means whereby to call bodily, mental, emotional, and spiritual harmony to you. If such be your need this day, do so and be merry, resting in the vibrant peace of the Father.
We leave you in that 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 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.
