I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from January 21, 2007:
We saw a movie last week where the hero gave his life to save a friend from a gang of bad guys but he killed a number of bad guys in the process. His intentions were pure to serve and save his friend but his actions were mixed. We would like to ask Q’uo how our polarity is affected when our intentions are good but our actions are mixed.
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. Thank you for asking us to join your circle of seeking and to share our thoughts on the workings of intention, action, and polarity. Certainly today, my friends, you ask a rich question and we will attempt to mine this lode of questing as best as we can. As always, we would ask for you to be guardians of your own temple, to be the lions at the gate that do not accept information unless it resonates. If our thoughts resonate to you, then they are yours to work with. If they do not, my friends, please leave them aside. In this way you will safeguard your own free will and make sure that we do not have an undue influence upon your spiritual process. We thank you for this consideration as it allows us to rest in the knowledge that we are not infringing upon free will.
You ask this day concerning the motion picture which this instrument calls The Ninth Configuration and the issues which it raises. Many are the times, when violence is involved, that the intention is relatively pure, as was the anti-hero’s in The Ninth Configuration. Most entities involved in violence, whether personally or on behalf of a group such as a nation-state, are not habitually in a state of rage, anger, or other violent emotions. Most have responded to the need to defend that which they hold dear. In the end, many involved in violence on behalf of their nation-state die attempting to protect their loved ones at home and the safety of the home environment.
While there are those who delight in violence and look for opportunities to be cruel and destructive, by far the majority of entities upon your planet strive towards goodness, truth, and beauty and do not love violence or the dark emotions that surround the physical acting out of aggression against fellow human beings. Your entire planet has a population with ideals and intentions that are far purer and more positive than the actions which they undertake might lead one to believe. In this regard we would note that your culture, with its menu of television shows and motion pictures which demonstrate and even glorify violence, is not geared to aiding its population in the ways of spiritual seeking. Your young ones have violence shown to them in their toys, their programs, and movies, the stories of heroism and valor on the battleground and their video games, in which they are able to achieve a sense of invulnerability as they pretend to kill target after target after target, thereby predisposing their growing minds to the numbing affects of the acceptance of violence as a way of behavior.
And indeed, how many of you have seen violent acts? How many of you, my friends, have had parents who abused either you or those near to you? How many of you in your school days have experienced the bullying on the playground or the less obvious but equal violence of words, meanness, pettiness and rumor spread with delight by those who enjoy victimizing the outsider, the one who does not fit in? This adds up to an atmosphere or environment which is pervasively accepting of violence. We do not wish here to move into discussion of a nation’s right to make war in order to defend its principles. This is not the place for that discussion. We look at violence here from the standpoint of the soldier in the trenches and the person on the street, not the society or the governing institutions which help to create the environment which you find yourselves enjoying at this time.
Into this atmosphere and this environment you came, as the one known as William said, “trailing clouds of glory,” from a place of perfect love into the violence-strewn environment of Earth as you find it this day. The clouds of glory depart, the veil falls, and the young child begins to wend its way from absolute unawareness, unconsciousness, and ignorance towards consciousness, awareness and understanding. You are not your environment. Your heritage is not only Earthly. Your genealogy is not only of the blood of Earth. You are citizens of the starry heavens. You hold within you the truth you seek. Safely is it buried beneath the drifts of memory and habit that you have accumulated in this incarnation. Some of you have investigated yourselves enough to have become aware of who you are and why you are here. Some of you have scented that prey of understanding and awareness that you seek and you are after it like a dog on the scent of a fox.
The group question for this session was: “We would like to ask Q’uo how our polarity is affected when our intentions are good, but our actions are mixed.” Q’uo began by saying we ask this day concerning the motion picture which Carla calls The Ninth Configuration and the issues which it raises, and many are the times, when violence is involved, that the intention is pure, as was the anti-hero’s in The Ninth Configuration, but most entities involved in violence, whether personally or on behalf of a group are not habitually in a state of rage or other violent emotions since most have responded to the need to defend that which they hold dear, and in the end, many involved in violence on behalf of their nation-state die attempting to protect their loved ones at home and the safety of the home environment. Then Q’uo said while there are those who delight in violence and look for opportunities to be cruel and destructive the majority of entities upon our planet strive towards goodness, truth, and beauty and do not love the dark emotions that surround the physical acting out of aggression against fellow human beings, and our planet has a population with ideals that are purer and more positive than the actions which they undertake might lead us to believe, so in this regard Q’uo said that our culture, with television shows and motion pictures which glorify violence, is not geared to aiding its population in the ways of spiritual seeking, and our children have violence shown to them in their toys, movies, and their video games, in which they are able to achieve a sense of invulnerability as they pretend to kill target after target, thereby predisposing their minds to the numbing effects of the acceptance of violence as a way of behavior. Now Q’uo asked: “How many of us have seen violent acts? How many of us, my friends, have had parents who abused us or those near to us? How many of us in our school days have experienced the bullying on the playground or the less obvious but equal violence of words, meanness, pettiness, and rumor spread with delight by those who enjoy victimizing the outsider, the one who does not fit in?” So Q’uo said this adds up to an environment which is completely accepting of violence, and they did not wish to move into discussion of a nation’s right to make war in order to defend its principles since this is not the place for that discussion, and we look at violence here from the standpoint of the soldier in the trenches and the person on the street, not the society or the governing institutions which help to create the environment which we find our selves enjoying at this time. In 33.10-.11, Ra spoke of the principle of using violence to defend a friend in the movie The Ninth Configuration:
Questioner: I will ask you if you are familiar with the motion picture called The Ninth Configuration. Are you familiar with this?
I am Ra. We scan your mind complex and see this configuration called The Ninth Configuration.
Questioner: This motion picture brought out this point of which we have been talking. And the entity, the Colonel, had to make a decision at that point. I was just wondering, with respect to polarity, his polarization. He could have either knuckled under, you might say, to the negative forces, but he chose to defend his friend instead.
Is it possible for you to estimate which is more positively polarizing: to defend the positively oriented entity or to allow the suppression by the negatively oriented entities? Can you answer this even?
I am Ra. This question takes in the scope of fourth density as well as your own, and its answer may best be seen by the action of the entity called Jehoshua, which you call Jesus. This entity was to be defended by its friends. The entity reminded its friends to put away the sword. This entity then delivered itself to be put to the physical death.
The impulse to protect the loved other-self is one which persists through the fourth density, a density abounding in compassion. More than this we cannot and need not say.
We would encourage all of you to persevere in your seeking, taking each day as it comes and letting wisdom and understanding drip into your environment as the dew of heaven falls upon the grass, just as manna fell upon the grass for those who followed Moses. You are not your surroundings or the ideas of those around you. You are one who can take nourishment directly from spirit. You do have a plethora of what this instrument would call bad information. Some of you wonder if there is any possibility of an entity being a truly ethical human being, so compromised is each soul in his own estimation. However, you have sources of good information as well. And so we ask you to take heart. There are several ways to look at ethics. There is the Rhadamanthine way. It is severe and stark. In that system of judgment, which is completely earthly and not at all taking the characteristics of consciousness or infinity, a man who has murdered another is guilty.
In this Rhadamanthine system which informs your present system of courts, justice, checks and balances and so forth, there would be a representative from the victim stating that this man was guilty because he had committed murder. There would be another entity defending the rights of the man on trial saying that this man was acting in self-defense. In this system of justice, the twelve good men and true, as the jury in your legal system is often called, would weigh the sin of murder against the extenuating circumstances and call the entity either guilty or not guilty. In your Earth world, such questions must be settled one way or another, even if there is truth on both sides. And so, a judgment would have been made, the entity undoubtedly being imprisoned for his crime and perhaps himself being killed as part of the severe justice of this type of system.
There is a second way of valuing: intentions versus actions. The one known as Jim was speaking earlier of that segment within the sessions of this group with the one known as Ra where the Ra group stated that the one known as Jesus the Christ was only absolved of his childhood violence when he forgave the thief on the cross beside him and said to him, “This day shall you be with me in paradise.” At this level of looking at the workings of polarity, the one known as Jesus the Christ was in karmic debt from the point in his boyhood where he had done violence to another human being, however unintentionally. Because he had not forgiven himself for that action, he was karmically tied to that action and that entity because of his unwillingness to release himself from the burden of guilt. He was unwilling to forgive himself of his sin. And we use that word “sin” advisedly. That would be a topic upon which we could speak in and of itself! Perhaps you could substitute the word “error” in order to create a more neutrally emotional word for a lapse in judgment that results in unfortunate consequences.
When the one known as Jesus was faced with this self-confessed thief and murderer who asked him for forgiveness, Jesus the Christ not only forgave him but he realized with a flash of insight that pierced his very heart that he had the ability to forgive all others in the world but he was holding himself away from the redemptive power of the forgiveness that he himself came, in his own intention, to offer to the world. And so, finally, joyfully, thankfully, he released himself from his mistake. He forgave himself and he was free. Note here that we are not talking about the level in which some things are right and some things are wrong and the wrong things must be punished. That is the Rhadamanthine system of justice upon your planet. We are talking here about the world of karma where bonds are made between people when they interact in an unbalanced way and do not work out that imbalance. The workings of karma are only very partially outward.
Now Q’uo said they would encourage all of us to persevere in our seeking, taking each day as it comes and letting wisdom and understanding drip into our environment as the dew of heaven falls upon the grass because we are not our surroundings or the ideas of those around us, but we are one who can take nourishment directly from spirit since we have an abundance of what Carla would call bad information, so some of us wonder if there is any possibility of being an ethical human being, so compromised is each soul in our estimation, but we have sources of good information as well, and Q’uo asked us to take heart since there are several ways to look at ethics such as the severe system of judgment which is earthly and not taking in the characteristics of consciousness or infinity, so a man who has murdered another is guilty. Now Q’uo said in this severe system which informs our system of courts of checks and balances, there would be a representative from the victim stating that this man was guilty because he had committed murder, and there would be another entity defending the rights of the man on trial saying that this man was acting in self-defense, so in this system of justice, the twelve good men, as the jury in our legal system is called, would weigh the sin of murder against the extenuating circumstances and call the entity either guilty or not guilty, so in our Earth world such questions must be settled one way or another, even if there is truth on both sides, and a judgment would have been made, the entity being imprisoned for his crime and perhaps himself being killed as part of the severe justice of this type of system. Q’uo went on to say there is a second way of valuing: intentions versus actions, and Jim was speaking earlier of that segment within the sessions of this group with Ra where they stated that the Jesus the Christ was absolved of His childhood violence when He forgave the thief on the cross beside Him and said to him, “This day shall you be with me in paradise.” So at this level of looking at the workings of polarity, Jesus the Christ was in karmic debt from the point in His boyhood where He had unintentionally done violence to another human being, but because He had not forgiven Himself for that action, He was karmically tied to that action and that entity because of His unwillingness to release Himself from the burden of guilt, and Q’uo use that word “sin” advisedly because that would be a topic upon which they could speak in and of itself, so we could substitute the word “error” in order to create a more neutral word for a lapse in judgment that results in unfortunate consequences. Q’uo continued by saying when Jesus was faced with this self-confessed thief and murderer who asked Him for forgiveness, Jesus the Christ not only forgave him but He realized with a flash of insight that pierced His very heart that He had the ability to forgive all others in the world but he was holding Himself away from the redemptive power of the forgiveness that He came to offer to the world, and joyfully and thankfully, He released himself from His mistake and was free, and Q’uo said that they are not talking about the level in which some things are right and some things are wrong and the wrong things must be punished in the severe system of justice upon our planet, but they are talking about the world of karma where bonds are made between people when they interact in an unbalanced way and do not work out that imbalance so the workings of karma are partially outward. In 18.12, Ra explained how karma may be alleviated:
Questioner: You stated yesterday that forgiveness is the eradicator of karma. I am assuming that balanced forgiveness for the full eradication of karma would require forgiveness not only of other-selves but forgiveness of self. Am I correct?
Ra: I am Ra. You are correct. We will briefly expand upon this understanding in order to clarify.
Forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self. An understanding of this insists upon full forgiveness upon the conscious level of self and other-self, for they are one. A full forgiveness is thus impossible without the inclusion of self.In other words, the entity known as Jesus could go to the family of the entity whom he hurt in his childhood and ask them to forgive him. It would be hoped that they would find it in their hearts to do so. But the wheels of karma are stopped not by the forgiveness of another but by the forgiveness of the self by the self. There is a curious unwillingness in entities to let go of their guilt. What is past is past and what was wrong will never be right in the earthly sense. But it is fear that keeps the soul from standing in the light of ethical day and confessing that error, that darkness within, to the infinite Creator and asking forgiveness. That is an externalization of the process in which you ask yourself for forgiveness. It is helpful to have that outer machinery of the structure of the Creator above and you below so that you can lift your hands up in supplication to a forgiving and loving Father and ask for forgiveness. Yet, in truth, this process is internal and the Creator you ask for forgiveness dwells already in your heart of hearts.
Thusly, on this level of karma, the disposition of this anti-hero who had striven with all of his heart to be totally positive and yet had, in the end, acted out tremendous violence and done murder, would hinge upon whether he forgave himself as he died. He had condemned himself by refusing to allow anyone to know that he was hurt. He wished to die for that which he had done. Thusly he drew down judgment upon his own head in the Rhadamanthine fashion, in this instrument’s mind, at least. The film did not make it clear whether or not the anti-hero forgave himself. If he did not forgive himself, he remained tied through karmic bonds to those whom he hurt and killed. If he forgave himself, karmically speaking, he was no longer in karmic debt, for such debts are put “Paid” when forgiveness offers its redemptive value to the equation.
There is a third level upon one which may consider intention and action and how that affects polarity. And this is perhaps closer to the crux of your query than either of the other two levels we have discussed. This level of consideration is entirely metaphysical. At this level of consideration, one is not looking at the facts on the surface. “Who did what to whom?” is not a consideration here. For at this level, each entity is dwelling within its own completely whole and three-dimensional creation. It is no shadow world, this world that you are in, metaphysically. It is indeed an environment more real than the consensus reality of planet Earth in terms of your being a citizen of eternity. In the environment of consciousness and the heart, we are looking not at manifestation but at energy expenditures. We are looking at the vibration which an entity has. This vibratory complex is as your fingerprint or your DNA, on a metaphysical level. Let us explain this briefly.
Consciousness is, at base, precisely the same in all of you. And as you move into more and more maturity, spiritually speaking, you will begin to discover that consciousness is impersonal, carrying the nature and quality of the Creator Itself which is the Logos or unconditional Love. Each of you has this consciousness and works, either fitfully or steadily, with this consciousness in moments of insight, in dreaming, and so forth. That which you are doing at any particular moment may be affecting your vibration. You have the ability and the capacity to change your vibratory nature, to lift it up. Indeed, you will gradually change in vibration through the effects of life experience, whether or not you intend to progress. If you do intend to progress and take steps to focus in on your energy body, the expenditures of energy for which you are responsible, and the decisions which have ethical implications, you are accelerating the pace of your spiritual evolution.
Then Q’uo said Jesus could go to the family of the entity whom He hurt in His childhood and ask them to forgive Him, and it would be hoped that they would find it in their hearts to do so, but the wheels of karma are stopped, not by the forgiveness of another, but by the forgiveness of the self by the self, and there is an unwillingness in entities to let go of their guilt because it is fear that keeps us from standing in the light of day and confessing that error within to the infinite Creator and asking forgiveness which is an externalization of the process in which we ask our self for forgiveness, so it is helpful to have that outer structure of the Creator above and us below so that we can lift our hands up in supplication to a forgiving and loving Father and ask for forgiveness, yet in truth this process is internal, and the Creator we ask for forgiveness dwells already in our heart of hearts. Q’uo continued by saying on this level of karma, the disposition of this anti-hero [from The Ninth Configuration] who had tried with all of his heart to be positive and yet had committed murder would depend upon whether he forgave himself as he died, and he had condemned himself by refusing to allow anyone to know that he was hurt since wished to die for that which he had done, so he drew down judgment upon his head in a severe fashion, but the film did not make it clear if the anti-hero forgave himself because if he did not forgive himself, he remained tied through karmic bonds to those whom he hurt and killed, but if he forgave himself, he was no longer in karmic debt. Now Q’uo said there is a third level upon which one may consider intention and action and how that affects polarity, and this is closer to the heart of our query than either of the other two levels that have been discussed, and this level of consideration is entirely metaphysical, so at this level of consideration we are not looking at the facts on the surface of “Who did what to whom?” because that is not a consideration here, for at this level each of us is dwelling within our three-dimensional creation, and it is no shadow world metaphysically because it is an environment more real than the consensus reality of Earth in terms of our being a citizen of eternity, so in the environment of consciousness and the heart, we are looking not at manifestation but at energy expenditures, and this vibratory complex is like our DNA, on a metaphysical level. Q’uo continued by saying consciousness is the same in all of us, and as we move into more spiritual maturity we will begin to discover that consciousness is impersonal, carrying the nature of the Creator which is unconditional Love, and each of us has this consciousness, and we work with this consciousness in moments of insight and dreaming, so that which we are doing at any moment may be affecting our vibration since we have the ability to change our vibratory nature through the effects of our life experience, whether or not we intend to progress, but if we do intend to progress and take steps to focus in on our energy body, the expenditures of energy for which we are responsible, and the decisions which have ethical implications, we are accelerating the pace of our spiritual evolution. On September 10, 2010, Q’uo described 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.
The more ways that you can find to bring ethical considerations into your thinking, the more lucid your ability to evaluate situations will become. The more you ask for guidance in looking at ethical questions, the more accurate your web of perceptions can become. Yet in the end you are responsible only for doing your best. You cannot entirely corral or control your own vibrations. They are like your breathing or your heartbeat. You can consciously stop breathing for awhile, but unconsciousness will soon come, and you will begin breathing again. You can race your heart until it is beating as fast as two hundred times a minute by doing intense physical exercise but when you stop that exercise it will find again its own level.
However, if you hold your breath repeatedly you will eventually develop that system of lungs that will therefore be stronger because of your practice. And if you exercise regularly, running your heart up and letting it cool back down again, you’ll find that your heart is pumping more efficiently and is able to move the blood around your body with fewer beats of the pump of that heart per minute. So, you have some effect, as a physical person, upon how your body works. But you are cooperating with nature. You do not have the final decision as to whether your heart shall beat and your breath shall respire. It is the same kind of situation in your energy body. You can be attentive and watchful and look as the hunter for his prey for situations that can be considered for their ethical values. You can ask your highest and best self, your guidance system, to help you make ethical choices that lift you from where you were to a new level of acting out the thoughts that you understand to represent virtue.
You are able to walk your talk. And this exercise, too, strengthens and changes the energy body so that it more efficiently is able to allow the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator to flow through into the heart chakra, where lies the stunning mystery of the one infinite Creator. In this system of judging the dynamic between intention and manifestation, it is not precisely that intention is all. It is that intention is the only metaphysical portion of the equation. So, intention figures into the vibratory nature of yourself as a result of the action that you have done. In this system of evaluating the anti-hero’s situation, we would say that this entity was clearly vibrating in service to others at the time of his death and would guess that the screenwriter intended to portray an entity who was extremely service-to-others oriented by nature. So, dealing with this hypothetical and fictional anti-hero, we would say that, undoubtedly, as he was represented by the author and the actor that acted his part in the motion picture, this entity graduated in service-to-others polarity.
And indeed, again, it was not simply his intention that moves into that estimation by us but rather his entire being as it vibrated naturally beyond his control, expressing the truth of himself, including all of the mysteries and the secrets that he had not discovered yet about himself or had discovered and then buried. It is a relativistic ethic indeed that we offer you for consideration this day. Pure ethic, that Kantian search for the categorical imperative where, if something is right once, it is right always, cannot work either in Earth or in the starry heavens. Certainly, ideals themselves are pure. But ideals are called ideals because they are not earthly. They are the thoughts that lift us up and inspire us. They are those fields of purity that attract us and enchant us, but their nature is such that they are entities, living entities. Living, certainly, not as humans, but as the angels or fairies or gods and goddesses of myths. They are ideas and concepts. And in their own world they are living beings.
Q’uo went on to say the more ways that we can find to bring ethical considerations into our thinking, the more clear our ability to evaluate situations will become, and the more we ask for guidance in looking at ethical questions, the more accurate our web of perceptions can become, but in the end we are responsible only for doing our best because we cannot control our vibrations since they are like our breathing or our heartbeat where we can stop breathing for a while, but unconsciousness will come, and we will begin breathing again, and we can race our heart until it is beating two hundred times a minute by doing physical exercise, but when we stop that exercise it will find its own level. Now Q’uo said if we hold our breath repeatedly we will eventually develop lungs that will be stronger because of our practice, and if we exercise regularly, running our heart up and letting it cool back down again, we will find that our heart is pumping more efficiently with fewer beats of the pump of that heart per minute, so we have some effect upon how our body works, but we are cooperating with nature, and we do not have the final decision as to whether our heart shall beat and our breath shall respire which is the same kind of situation in our energy body, and we can be watchful and look as the hunter for his prey for situations that can be considered for their ethical values, and we can ask our higher self and our guidance system to help us make ethical choices that lift us from where we were to a new level of acting out the thoughts that we understand to represent virtue. Q’uo continued by saying we are able to walk our talk, and this exercise strengthens our energy body so that it is more able to allow the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator to flow through into the heart chakra, where lies the stunning mystery of the one infinite Creator, and in this system of judging the dynamic between intention and manifestation, it is not that intention is all, but it is that intention is the only metaphysical portion of the equation, so our intention figures into the vibratory nature of our self as a result of the action that we have done, so in this system of evaluating the anti-hero’s situation Q’uo said that this entity was vibrating in service to others at the time of his death and that the screenwriter intended to portray an entity who was service-to-others oriented by nature, so in dealing with this fictional anti-hero, they said that as he was represented by the author and the actor that acted his part in the motion picture, this entity graduated in service-to-others polarity.

On April 17, 1983, Latwii spoke of the value of having ideals:
Indeed, when the situations which we have termed “catalyst” present themselves to the seeker, the seeker may look upon such catalyst with a polarity viewpoint, that is to say, one may look upon the situation and see people and events not in keeping with the desires of the seeker, and the seeker may wish to change those people and events and maintain faithfulness to the ideals of service to others. This is a great dilemma, for in truth, if one wishes to be pure in what you have called the positive polarity, there can be no wish to change another person or event, for each must be accepted as each is, for each is whole and perfect. Each is the one Creator. This is a great lesson, which takes much of what you call time to learn. Therefore, as a portion of remaining faithful to those positive ideals which each in this group upholds, then it might be recommended that the viewpoint include the possibility that no person or situation be asked to be other than it is, that each indeed be accepted, loved, forgiven, that the same be done with the self, and that then the self is taken by the seeker as the primary tool for upholding the ideals of service to others, and the self is transformed by acceptance of self and others so that love is given no matter what. In such a way does the positive polarity become purified and refined, that the beacon of love and light within the heart of self might shine more brightly.
You may dip into truth, dip into justice, dip into fairness, and so forth, to take on the energy of that pure idea. But as it moves into your energy body, it is colored by your presuppositions and biases, the distortions that you have made in this consciousness that is common to all. It is good, in terms of lifting your vibrations from day-to-day, to ponder and remember these wonderful ideals of truth, unconditional Love, beauty, hope, charity, justice, and fairness. It is good to invite them to be through you a beacon unto the world. But it is well to realize that in a very complex series of energy exchanges, the finished product of what you have done by praying is a minute but significant adjustment in the balances, the clarity, the amount of energy, and so forth in your energy body. And it is your energy body, specifically the read-out of the entire energy body that is seen within the seventh chakra or energy center, that determines your polarity at any given moment.
You cannot bank polarity. You cannot do so many good things and so many bad things and add up the difference. You are involved in an illusory progress through time. The one known as Thales said, “You cannot step in the same river twice.” And we say to you that you cannot step in the same action or thought twice. It happens and you move on. It is gone forever. That chance that you had to think, to pray, and to act is gone forever. In its place is an equally precious present moment. And so, this continues throughout each heartbeat of your incarnation. You are always experiencing the final moment of your life and then discovering that you have outlived that moment. But it is well to act as if each moment were your final moment. For this points out the gravity and the substance of your ethical choices and how important it is to pay attention to them. For only by making these ethical choices, one upon another upon another, so that you get the habit of fielding the ethical implications of the present moment, can you maximize the use of your time.
[Side one of tape ends.]
By a series of choices, you have found ways to be yourself to the outer world and to yourself. You have shut much of the shadow side of your nature away because it is unpleasant to see, and it is very difficult to bear. Unusual situations such as occurred in the case of this anti-hero in The Ninth Configuration create situations that take us all by surprise, as this fight took the anti-hero by surprise. We ask you, then, not to dwell in judgment of yourself or others. You cannot help being judgmental and we do not discourage the practice of judgment. We simply ask that you begin with the judgment that is inherent in your nature as a human being, but that you do not stop there. Move forward into the blessed light-strewn fields of the Creator and invite the sunshine of wisdom and unconditional Love as you find ways to spend your precious energy and your precious time within the school of planet Earth.
Q’uo continued by saying we may dip into truth, justice, and fairness to take on the energy of that pure idea, but as it moves into our energy body it is colored by our biases that we have made with our consciousness that is common to all, and it is good, in terms of lifting our vibrations, to remember these ideals of truth, unconditional Love, and beauty, and it is good to invite them to shine through us as a beacon into the world, but it is well to realize that in a complex series of energy exchanges, the finished product of what we have done by praying is a tiny but significant adjustment in the balances and the amount of energy in our energy body because it is the read-out of the entire energy body that is seen within the seventh chakra that determines our polarity at any given moment. Q’uo went on to say we cannot do good things and bad things and add up the difference because we are involved in an illusory progress through time, and they said that we cannot step in the same action or thought twice since it happens, and we move on, and the chance that we had to think, to pray, and to act is gone forever, and in its place is an equally precious present moment, and this continues throughout each heartbeat of our incarnation, so we are always experiencing the final moment of our life and then discovering that we have outlived that moment, but it is well to act as if each moment were our final moment, for this points out the substance of our ethical choices and how important it is to pay attention to them, for only by making these ethical choices do we get the habit of feeling the ethical implications of the present moment, so can we maximize the use of our time. Then Q’uo said when we go to graduation we shall not have a grade of 100% of service to others, but the Creator grades on a curve, so if we have 51% of service to others, we are ready to graduate, and each time we choose to serve others, we have moved above 51% and into positive polarization to graduate from Earth, and the more habitual our realization to choose the most loving response, the more positively we will be able to affect the tuning of our energy body so that it vibrates more in service to others in terms of polarity, but we shall never be able to untangle the good from the evil within humankind because we all are both good and evil, and we contain all the shades of virtue and vice within one global entity. Q’uo completed their reply by saying by a series of choices, we have found ways to be our self to the outer world and to our self, and we have shut much of the shadow side of our nature away because it exists, and it is difficult to bear, so unusual situations such as occurred with the anti-hero in The Ninth Configuration create situations that take us all by surprise, as this fight took the anti-hero by surprise, so Q’uo asked us not to dwell in judgment of our self or others, but we cannot help being judgmental, so they do not discourage the practice of judgment, but they ask that we begin with the judgment that is inherent in our nature as a human being, and that we do not stop there, but move forward into the light-strewn fields of the Creator, and invite the sunshine of wisdom and unconditional Love as we find ways to spend our energy and our time within the school of Earth. On April 27, 2006, Q’uo described the nature of the school of Earth:
If you look at the Earth world as a kind of school, this is the time of the final exam. It is a time when a lot of entities have completed their schoolwork, and they are ready to take that final test. It is a transition time for many – indeed, for many of those who have passed through the gates of death. It is a time of great celebration and rejoicing, for they have graduated from the school of Earth. Their next incarnation will most likely be on planet Earth in a fourth-density physical vehicle enjoying the new fourth-density Gaia, which is almost full… fully complete at this time.
This instrument is informing us that we need to move on. We must admit that we are sorry to leave this interesting question! And so often we are sorry to get off of our soapbox, tuck it under our arm, and trundle out of Hyde Park. May we ask if there are any follow-up queries or any other queries at this time?
R: Not from me, Q’uo.
[Pause]
We are those of Q’uo, and we find that we have exhausted the curiosity of those present in this circle of seeking for now. We reiterate that it is a blessing to us to be with you. You help us in our service to others at this time by asking for our humble opinions, and it opens our heart to be able to share thoughts with you. We share also a great love and affection that passes between each of you and us, and that, too, is a blessing to us for which we are most thankful. And the blessing of being with you and of seeing the beauty of your articulated energy is wonderful. We are amazed at the courage and the goodness within each of you. We leave this instrument and this group 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 ran some errands with my first stop being at Feeder’s Supply where I bought two bags of bird seed. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought some non-food items and some Pepsi-Zero.
This afternoon I cleaned Benny’s apartment upstairs. I began by using the carpet sweeper to clean the hall carpet. Then I used the broom and dustpan to sweep up the kitty litter boxes in the room where Benny stays in the cat tower. Then I used the dust mop in all three rooms and the hall.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
April 10
Offering The Self
I am of the consciousness of Love, and I greet you in that love which is Jesus the Christ.
Gaze upon the qualities of Love divine. See the body broken, the life split and sacrificed. See that in the breaking and in the offering lie the secret of infinite Love. Each life may be offered up and thus broken, and from that break may come an infinity of gifts.
We do not suggest for one instant that all sacrifice is good. Rather, we suggest, for one who would love, that there is a blessing and sanctification in offering the self to be used, to be broken, to be opened, and to be shared that is most godly. “When He had given thanks,” it is written, “He took the bread and broke it and gave it to each of His disciples, saying, ‘Take. Eat. This is my body. Do this in remembrance of me.’” May your day and your life, day by day, be a process of thanksgiving, breaking, offering and remembering.
We leave you in the peace and love of Jesus the Christ, 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.
