I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from April 18, 2006:
Question from J: In the Law of One series, Ra mentioned several people: Jesus of Nazareth, Edgar Cayce, Taras Bulba, Genghis Khan, and Rasputin. I found out there’s a common trait of these entities, that is, regardless of their polarity, they all learned their ability via the remembering process. This remembering process seems to have an accelerating effect on these entities’ learning and growing process. Is my thinking correct? If it’s correct, I wonder if there are some effective methods to help us to activate such a remembering process. For example, Edgar Cayce’s self-hypnosis or some special type of meditation. And I wonder if Q’uo can describe the practicing details of these methods and also any precaution that we need to be aware of?
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you. It is a privilege to be called to your circle of seeking, and we thank you. To be able to share our humble thoughts is our chosen service at this particular time, and you greatly help us by giving us the chance to perform that service. It aids us in our evolution to serve the one infinite Creator in this way. We thank you for taking the time out of your extremely active lives to form this circle of seeking and ask for truth to be shared. As always, we would ask you to monitor your reactions to our thoughts carefully and discriminate between those thoughts that resonate with you and those which do not. Please leave those thoughts that do not resonate behind. They are not for you at this time. If you observe this discrimination then we feel much more comfortable in sharing our thoughts freely, for we would not intrude upon your evolution.
We are aware of the query concerning the various entities who remembered facets of their soul stream’s history, and Q’uo was aware that we wish to know more about what we call the remembering process, so they wanted to offer some general thoughts before they responded to details of our question, for the purpose of third density existence is not to penetrate the veil of forgetting or to know anything of a worldly nature at all, but there are times when it naturally comes to us or to remember details of a past life or to get an impression concerning the background of that entity that we are that has come into incarnation in this lifetime.
However, it is unnecessary in terms of preparing our self for graduation from third density to penetrate the veil of forgetting. Indeed, it is far more important, in preparing for graduation from third density, that one comes finally to the understanding that one knows nothing and can know nothing of the mystery that is the one infinite Creator. Reaching this level of humility and emptiness offers to the seeking student a peace and a confidence that are lacking when one is striving to know more and seek more deeply into the history of the self before this incarnation.
The veil of forgetting was put into place not in order that it may be penetrated but to set up the conditions for a life in which the choice of polarity and the continuing choices of polarity that follow such an initial choice might be played out without any possibility of proof. The choice of service-to-self or service-to-others polarity is intended to be made against the backdrop of unknowing so that one must literally take a leap of faith in order to choose how to respond to the catalyst of everyday life. In each situation where there is a decision to be made that has ethical overtones, the whole point of that veil of forgetting is to clear the canvas of any paint except that which you wish to apply in the present moment. Your choices, then, are made very cleanly—not because you feel there was karma from this or that previous lifetime or because of any other fact that you feel that you have come to know but because, by faith, you wish to choose your manner of being in a way that expresses your heart’s desire.
J’s first question was: “I wonder if there are some effective methods to help us to activate such a remembering process. For example, Edgar Cayce’s self-hypnosis or some special type of meditation. And I wonder if Q’uo can describe the practicing details of these methods and also any precaution that we need to be aware of?” Q’uo began by saying we are aware of the query concerning the various entities who remembered facets of their soul stream’s history, and they were aware that we wish to know more about what we call the remembering process, so they wanted to offer some general thoughts before they responded to details of our question, for the purpose of third density existence is not to penetrate the veil of forgetting or to know anything of a worldly nature at all, but there are times when it naturally comes to us, or to remember details of a past life, or to get an impression concerning the background of that entity that we are that has come into incarnation in this lifetime. Q’uo went on to say that it is unnecessary in terms of preparing our self for graduation from third density to penetrate the veil of forgetting, and it is more important, in preparing for graduation from third density, that we come to the understanding that we can know nothing of the mystery that is the one infinite Creator, and reaching this level of humility offers us a peace and a confidence that are lacking when we are striving to seek more deeply into the history of our self before this incarnation. Then Q’uo said that the veil of forgetting was put into place to set up the conditions for our life in which the choice of polarity, and the continuing choices of polarity that follow such an initial choice, might be played out without any possibility of proof because the choice of service-to-self or service-to-others is intended to be made against the backdrop of unknowing so that we must take a leap of faith in order to choose how to respond to the catalyst of everyday life, and in each situation where there is a decision to be made that has ethical overtones, the point of that veil of forgetting is to clear the canvas of any paint except that which we wish to apply in the present moment so that our choices are made very cleanly—not because we feel there was karma from a previous lifetime or because of any other fact that we feel that we have come to know–but because, by faith, we wish to choose our manner of being in a way that expresses our heart’s desire. On January 9, 2006, Q’uo described the value of the present moment:
It seems to us a fair and lovely thing for each of you to use the tools which you know to craft that which is your very best effort at sharing the light and the awareness that lie within you. We find all that this group has discussed this day to be appropriate. We do not have any desire to limit you in how you wish to present the information. We would only say to you that to balance the intensive dedication of each of you to manifesting, it is a good idea to spend a significant amount of your time becoming aware of the present moment, relaxing all tension or worry, and simply spending time knowing that all is well and that all will be well. Lighten up and find the light touch, the laughter, the bliss, and the joy that are only available when you are focusing on the present moment. Have fun with this, my friends, just as we are having the time of our lives working with you.
Therefore, while we are glad to speak with you concerning ways to penetrate the veil of forgetting, we do so with a careful warning to those who wish to do this. That warning is that that which you know or feel that you know about the larger picture of your soul’s history and its business within this incarnation creates a heavy responsibility. If you know something, you are responsible for that knowledge. Decisions that you make, then and thereafter, need to be made carefully and with utmost focus upon who you are and why you are in incarnation on planet Earth at this time. Any information you feel that you have gained needs to be carefully remembered and carefully applied, for you have gained in responsibility.
We call to this instrument’s mind the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They were asked not to eat the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They chose to ignore this request and to eat this fruit. Their eyes were opened to issues about which they had been blessedly unaware of previous to the eating of the fruit of this tree. They became aware that they were in a natural state but that they were not simple beings, free and innocent like the animals and plants—they were entities with an awareness of ethics, morality, good and evil, as the story goes. They immediately began judging themselves; they decided that their natural, naked state was not acceptable. Modesty was born, repression was born, they became responsible for the knowledge that they had acquired.
Then Q’uo said while they are glad to speak with us concerning ways to penetrate the veil of forgetting, they do so with a warning to those who wish to do this, and that warning is that which we feel that we know about the larger picture of our soul’s history and its business within this incarnation creates a responsibility, so if we know something, we are responsible for that knowledge, and the decisions that we make then and thereafter need to be made carefully and with focus upon who we are and why we are in incarnation on Earth at this time, and any information we feel that we have gained needs to be remembered and applied, for we have gained in responsibility. Then Q’uo said they call to Carla’s mind the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden who were asked not to eat the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, but they chose to ignore this request and to eat this fruit, and their eyes were opened to issues about which they had been unaware of previous to the eating of the fruit of this tree, so they became aware that they were in a natural state, but they were not simple beings, free and innocent like the animals and plants, but they were entities with an awareness of ethics and good and evil, and they began judging themselves, and they decided that their naked state was not acceptable, so modesty was born and repression was born, and they became responsible for the knowledge that they had acquired. Q’uo went on to say it is a burden to have knowledge, and it is not necessary to have this kind of knowledge in order to make the choice of service to others or service to self and to persevere in continuing to maintain that choice throughout the remainder of our incarnation, thereby gaining polarity sufficient to graduate from third density, so they suggested that it is helpful within our incarnation that a more skillful focus for gaining information is an attempt to get in touch with our guidance system, and they have in other sessions discussed in detail methods for doing this. On September 5, 2010, Carla spoke at our Homecoming Gathering and said:
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.
We would now move to a discussion of the details of ways to get in touch with more information about the self in previous incarnations. There are two basic ways which you may find efficacious in getting in touch with the information concerning past incarnations. The first way is organic and slow. Usually, it involves simply expressing to the self each day the intention of coming—we correct this instrument—of becoming more aware of the experiences that have occurred to the self in other parts of the soul stream before and after this incarnation. It may be helpful to express this intention by looking at the self in the mirror. You may look into the eyes or you may simply look out of focus at the face. Either technique is efficacious for some entities. You may indeed find the image of your face in the mirror beginning to change into different faces as you gaze into that mirror for some time. We would suggest five of your minutes as the appropriate cutoff point. Certainly between thirty seconds and five minutes at a time is enough intensity for you to experience at any one time. We would not suggest doing this more often than once a day. Such work as this may seem slight; however, it is substantive and powerful. When you harness your will and focus it, you are a person of magic and power and that which you desire will come to you.
If you desire to work with this information in a quicker way, the second technique would appeal to you. That technique involves using a professional and highly trained hypnotherapist. The technique involved is to ask the hypnotherapist to take you back, once the hypnotic state has been achieved, beyond birth so that you are not in this incarnation nor are you in any other incarnation. You will have instructed the hypnotherapist to ask you to make contact with your higher self. You will also have offered to the hypnotherapist the question that you wish to ask your higher self. The hypnotherapist may then ask those questions that you would wish to explore and the higher self, then, will respond through you to the question that the hypnotherapist is asking on your behalf. Since you as a person may well find it very difficult to recall what your higher self is saying speaking through you, it is well, if you pursue this avenue of investigation, to use a tape recorder or a CD recorder so that you have a record of that which was said.
Your remaining query had to do with the dangers that might possibly be involved in penetrating the veil of forgetting. We believe that we have expressed a sufficient degree of caution concerning this avenue of exploration. It is entirely up to you as to whether you wish to move forward with this investigation. Certainly, it is fascinating to discover details of past lives and to muse and ponder upon the information that you have gained. There are times that spontaneous information will come to you—we correct this instrument—there are times when such information will come to you spontaneously. When it comes to you spontaneously and organically, it is part of the flow of your natural process of spiritual evolution. It is an indication that your higher self feels that you are capable of being responsible for this information and putting it to excellent use.
If you persist in speeding up the process of penetrating the veil of forgetting, please recall that you need to be very careful to use such information in a spiritually mature way, not judging yourself or spinning tales of adhering karma and dire consequences. We ask that you refrain from moving through such judgmental patterns. Look at the information that you may have gained as a kind of story that will help you to have a larger and a more informed point of view, and remember that it is not what you know that is important but how you respond to the present moment. This incarnation of yours, my brother, is not about acquiring information or wisdom, it is about opening your heart and becoming able to share and carry the maximum amount of Light and Love as it flows from the Creator to the Earth and through your physical and metaphysical bodies. If you can open your heart in this moment, you are doing the maximum amount that you can do to serve the Creator and the creation.
Q’uo went on to say there are two ways which we may find helpful in getting in touch with information concerning past incarnations, and the first way is organic and slow since it involves expressing to our self each day the intention of becoming more aware of the experiences that have occurred to our self in other parts of the soul stream before and after this incarnation, so it may be helpful to express this intention by looking at our self in the mirror, and we may look into our eyes, or we may look out of focus at our face because either technique is helpful for some entities, so we may find the image of our face in the mirror beginning to change into different faces as we gaze into that mirror for some time, so Q’uo suggested five minutes as the appropriate cutoff point, and between thirty seconds and five minutes at a time is enough intensity for us to experience at any one time, but they would not suggest doing this more often than once a day since such work as this may seem slight, but it is powerful, and when we focus our will we are a person of magic and power, and that which we desire will come to us.

On April 2, 1995, Q’uo described the nature of the metaphysical body:
The closest we might come to a general description would then be the electrical body or the metaphysical body. It is a body which is far more densely filled with light and therefore is able to co-exist with the third-density illusion. Most bodies of this type are never visible to those within third-density incarnation, mostly because the entities do not know how to so clothe themselves with third-density material that they may become visible. The body of the one known as Jesus during this time was that body from which his earthly body had been made, the pattern-making body, that is. And this pattern-making or electrical body was simply picked up and put on, shall we say, but with a degree of faith that created manifestation.
You may relate this kind of body to—we search this instrument’s knowledge for the closest manifestation and find that this entity has seen the so-called psychic surgery and has seen such manifestations of electrical or form-making occurrences. They are indistinguishable from normal, physical, illusory bodies. However, their actual arena of living and working is within what we would call the metaphysical universe.
May we ask if there is another query at this time? We are those of Q’uo.
May we ask if there is a further query at this time?
J: During the remembering process, would one see some images in his visual screen or inner eyes?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query. It is usual in cases of the spontaneous penetration of the veil of forgetting that you will come to the information in a non-threatening manner. This usually takes place during the dreaming portion of your sleep. You will have a dream that seems particularly, vivid, and it will constitute the discovery of the way a previous incarnational experience feels or felt. Within the dream, you are simply in the other incarnation and experiencing life from that point of view. The characteristic experience of one who is learning through this bleed-through experience of dreaming is that the dream will seem preternaturally vivid, colorful, and detailed. It is rare that such information streams into the conscious mind while you are awake. Although, certainly under the pressure of a sustained request for such information, it may be that such information will come as in a vision, or in the case of one working with the mirror, seen dimly or with increasing detail in the mirror itself during the experience of looking into the mirror with the eyes out of focus.
May we ask if there is another query at this time?
J: What requirements does one need to activate the remembering process? What is the maximum possible degree of total remembrance that one can achieve?
We are those of Q’uo, and believe that we grasp your query, my brother. The requirements for penetrating the veil of forgetting are a sincere feeling that this is an important piece of information that will help you in your spiritual evolution. If the desire is pointed in the direction of this information, then that activates the process of coming into possession of more information of this type. The maximum degree of penetration of the veil of forgetting is variable. Different entities will be able to bear different percentages of the full weight of the experiences that have been embraced and assimilated by the soul stream. The density and weight of such information is incredibly great.
You, my brother, would find it difficult to believe the amount of information and the kind of information that you have accreted to your soul stream during the very long and busy history of your beingness. You must realize that you have existed since before the planet upon which you now draw breath was created. You are a portion of the Creator Itself. You have experienced all densities within this octave of creation. In the non-local or metaphysical sense, you are even now in all of the densities, accumulating information to yourself to offer up as a gift to the one infinite Creator. Consequently, to know even one percent of your total history would be far too much information for you to bear within incarnation.
J’s third question was: “What requirements does one need to activate the remembering process? What is the maximum possible degree of total remembrance that one can achieve?” Q’uo began by saying the requirement for penetrating the veil of forgetting is a feeling that this is an important piece of information that will help us in our spiritual evolution, so if our desire is pointed in the direction of this information that activates the process of coming into possession of more information of this type, and the degree of penetration of the veil of forgetting is variable as different entities will be able to bear different percentages of the weight of the experiences that have been assimilated by the soul stream, and the weight of such information is great. Then Q’uo said that we would find it difficult to believe the amount and the kind of information that we have added to our soul stream during the long history of our beingness, and we must realize that we have existed since before the planet upon which we now draw breath was created since we are a portion of the Creator Itself, and we have experienced all densities within this octave of creation, and in the metaphysical sense, we are even now in all of the densities, accumulating information to our self to offer up as a gift to the one infinite Creator, so to know even one percent of our total history would be far too much information for us to bear within incarnation. On May 26, 1985, Latwii described the metaphysical sense of our being:
We may suggest that in the metaphysical sense, one deals with a range of appropriateness which provides you with the opportunity for purity. You may do as you wish in whatever case. Each choice bears a fruit. There is in any situation the opportunity to provide a service and the opportunity to ask others to join in that service. Depending on the point of view which is chosen, the correctness, shall we say, will be more or less enhanced. This, of course, you already know and are in this case seeking a more precise declaration or clarification of that which shall be the most efficacious choice.
May we ask if there is a further query, my brother?
J: If one wants to open the gates of intelligent infinity, is it necessary for him to remember all things in his past lives?
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, it is not necessary at all to remember any of the details of your past lives. In order to achieve harvestability within third density. It is necessary only to intend to love and to allow the self to be loved in return. Loving and being loved are the activity that shall open your heart and create in you a cleanliness, a peace, and a power that expresses the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator in its truth and its beauty.
We thank the one known as J for these queries and for seeking the truth. We thank all of those in this circle for the privilege of being allowed to share our thoughts and for the beauty of your vibrations. We leave you as we found 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 went outside and pumped half of the water out of the fishpond and refilled it with fresh water. While it was refilling, I came back into my bedroom/office and continued working on a Camelot Journal entry for two days from now. Then I went back outside and put the netting around the fishpond in place. An hour later I looked out my bedroom window and saw water splashing out of the front of the fishpond, so I went outside and discovered that the tube that connects the pump to the fountain had come out of the pump. So, I cut the old duct tape away and retaped the tube to the pump while using the garden hose to refill about 300 gallons of water.
This afternoon I had just finished cleaning the rug in Benny’s apartment when I looked at the fishpond and saw that water was gushing out of the fishpond again just like this morning. So, I went back outside and went through the same process as I did this morning, but I remembered that I needed to put super glue on the first part of the tube that goes into the pump, and then I retaped it and checked to see if it was at the right height of water for the fountain to run without splashing water out of the pond. So far, all is well.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
April 6
The Springtime Energy Of Cells
I am the spirit of Love, and I greet you in the consciousness that is Jesus the Christ.
Your feet shall not stand upon the good earth all the day, yet within the mind and within the heart let yourselves never be removed from that primal energy source. Know that every fiber of your sweet planet’s natural growth, as it burgeons into springtime, expresses its energies in rejoicing and that all who stand amongst the flowering may also feel that energy flowing.
And, indeed, all who can turn in mind to that same blooming may experience and be fed by that same joyous, springtime energy, for you are part of the creation of the Father. Feel within each cell the springtime energy of the creature that you are and bless each tendril of new energy, each lighter spring to the step, offering praise to the Creator of these cycles of life. May each cycle of your life spiral you closer to the consciousness of Christ.
We leave you in that consciousness, in that Love, and in that peace, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of love and open our hearts, minds, and souls to send love, light, and healing energy to Mother Earth as she brings forth a new Earth in the fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energy of the One Infinite Creator heal the hearts of all souls in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energy in their hearts, their minds, and their souls. Amen.
