I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from February 18, 2007:
The question this week has to do with the various religions that we have on planet Earth. They all seem to have a center of truth, but each religion also seems to have a number of adherents who interpret it their own way and who become fanatic in one way or another, trying make the religion into a dogma, to say this is the way and the only way. Is this a human trait? And how can we really know what is the true path for each of us? It seems like each of us has that spark of the Creator in us that recognizes truth, and we are more reminded of truth than informed of truth. Can Q’uo give us some general principles as to how look at the various religions and how to find what is “the way” for us?

We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings, my friends, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in Whose service we come to you this day. Thank you for creating a circle of seeking. Thank you for inviting us to join that circle. Thank you for the excellent question concerning how each seeker may find his own way amidst the welter of seemingly disparate theories of who God is and what the nature of creation is. It is our privilege to share our thoughts with you on this interesting subject. As always, we would ask that each entity listen carefully for resonance, not only in the things we have to say but in listening to all opinion from whatever source. You are fully able to feel that resonance and that spark of interest and we would encourage you to wait for that resonance and that spark rather than taking everything that we have to say as being equally useful. We thank you for this discrimination on each of your parts. It allows us to speak our thoughts to you without being concerned that we will inadvertently infringe upon your free will or disturb your sacred process of evolution in mind, body and spirit.
Youask this day concerning how to wend your way amidst the amazing array of religious and philosophical opinion concerning the nature of the Godhead, the nature of creation, and the nature and purpose of human life. In former days we would not have been able to have such a simple beginning to a discourse upon this subject. The progress of your science has enabled us to have a fairly straightforward entry into the doorway of the nature of the created universe. Investigation has shown that which seems to be solid matter is actually made up largely of a plenum 1 or a space in which there is no mass, very thinly populated by energy vortices. These energy vortices are the atoms and molecules that make up the cells of your body as well as the material of all other things that you can see, feel, touch, taste, and smell.
These energy fields cooperate together and nest within one another in various ways according to the nature of attraction and repulsion, forming the universe that you see. Scientific inquiry has proven that all parts of the universe communicate and are connected with all other parts of the universe, so that the universe is one thing. This is not given to you by priests or prophets but by your scientists, who have become the priests and prophets of your culture, if we may give it that name. What is the nature, then, of these vibratory patterns that arrange themselves hierarchically so as to create orders of magnitude, creating everything from the atoms and molecules within the cells of your body to the star systems within your galaxy? We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have identified the nature of these hierarchically unitive and harmonious energy fields as being that of Love.
The energy that created the stars is that of Love. The energy that created you is the energy of Love. That does not define Love, for if Love is all that there is, there is nothing to which to compare it. There’s nothing from which to contrast it. In its undistorted form it is forever a mystery, unable to be plumbed by centers of consciousness which are aware of themselves. The truth of the universe lies most profoundly in the unknowable reaches of the mystery of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator. Yet the universe is unitive. And it is unitive in a certain way. It is unitive holographically. Any one spark of the infinite Creator contains the entire nature of the one infinite Creator. Every cell of your body sings the song of the one infinite Creator. The suns in their courses sing the song of the one infinite Creator. There is fullness to the universe that is intense, as if every particle and iota of the universe were stuffed to bursting with the Love and the Light of life. You experience life as you breathe in and breathe out. And you ask what this experience is, for you are aware of yourself. And certainly you have many, many voices in your ear, happy to explain precisely what life is and how to live that life in a good way.
The group question for this session was: “It seems like each of us has that spark of the Creator in us that recognizes truth, and we are more reminded of truth than informed of truth. Can Q’uo give us some general principles as to how look at the various religions and how to find what is “the way” for us?” Q’uo began by saying we ask this day concerning how to wend our way among the various religious and philosophical opinions concerning the nature of God, the nature of creation, and the purpose of human life, and in former days Q’uo would not have been able to have a simple beginning to a study upon this subject, but the progress of our science has enabled them to have a basic entry into the nature of the created universe so that investigation has shown that which seems to be solid matter is actually made up largely of space in which there is no mass and is populated by energy vortices which are the atoms and molecules that make up the cells of our body as well as the material of all other things that you can see, feel, touch, taste, and smell. Then Q’uo said these energy fields cooperate together and nest within one another in various ways according to the nature of attraction and repulsion, forming the universe that we see, and scientific inquiry has proven that all parts of the universe communicate and are connected with all other parts of the universe, so that the universe is one thing, but this is not given to us by prophets but by our scientists, who have become the prophets of our culture, so: “What is the nature, then, of these vibratory patterns that arrange themselves hierarchically so as to create orders of magnitude, creating everything from the atoms and molecules within the cells of your body to the star systems within your galaxy?” So Q’uo said we of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator have identified the nature of these hierarchically unitive and harmonious energy fields as being that of Love. Q’uo continued by saying the energy that created the stars is that of Love, and the energy that created us is the energy of Love, but that does not define Love, for if Love is all that there is, there is nothing to which to compare it or from which to contrast it so that in its undistorted form it is forever a mystery, and the truth of the universe lies in the unknowable reaches of the mystery of the Love and the Light of the one infinite Creator, and yet the universe is unitive holographically, and any spark of the infinite Creator contains the entire nature of the infinite Creator, and every cell of our body sings the song of the one infinite Creator, and it is as if every particle of the universe were stuffed to bursting with the Love and the Light of life which we experience as we breathe in and breathe out, and we have many voices in our ear, happy to explain what life is and how to live that life in a good way. On February 14, 1993, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the infinite Creator:
The most comprehensive definition of life is this life is manifestation. To put this another way, life is movement. Because we do not feel that this basic a definition is helpful, we shall go further, but it is well to remember that all that is, is alive—that all was created by a thought which was the character and nature of the infinite Creator. This thought we call Love, for there is no appropriate designation. However, this Love is as terrible as it is filled with wonder, and loves as passionately destruction as it does creation, for the Love that is the nature of the Father, shall we say, is a Love that embraces the creation as a whole process, so that all phases of this movement are equally lovely.
Please understand, as you look back over some of your more difficult experiences with authority figures who have attempted to tell you what to believe, that every entity who seeks to serve the infinite Creator can fall into what the one known as T called “the trap” of teaching in such a way as to constrict the energies of those listening to his words. Let us look at that energy of the authority figure who wishes to teach well, in order to come into a more compassionate and charitable understanding of what drives such an entity. An entity who is moved and inspired by whatever agency, personality, or inspired writing becomes aware of himself in a special way. He becomes aware of how alive he is, and he thinks, “I must give this gift, this wonderful life I feel, to others! I must pass on this wonderful inspiration that is given to me!” There is generally no intention of doing anything other than the purest of good. However, the trap of dogma is always waiting for the teacher.
It is a wise teacher indeed who is able to differentiate between his personal experiences with the divine and that which is helpfully expressed concerning seeking the divine. In a world that wishes to codify, organize, and arrange life in an orderly manner, the mystical view, which is found at the heart of all religions and many philosophies as well, while greatly appealing, is found cumbersome and awkward to teach. When you’re speaking of something that is indescribable and ineffable, words fail. The human tendency, then, is to apply an organization to the mystery of the one Creator. And different religions have had different reasons to create different structures of belief, which have hardened into dogma. If the Creator is infinite Love and infinite Light, and if the creation is evolving continuously forever, then there is continuously more of truth than there was before. Consciousness is continuously expanding. The problem with any dogma, then, is that it cannot re-form itself to hold the new truth that is flowing forth at every moment from the creative principle.
As the seasons change, as the grass blooms and withers again and again, so the consciousness of humankind evolves and grows. You are a point of that consciousness. You have access in your very nature, in every cell of your body, in every thought that you think to the one infinite Creator in its undistorted form. Yet that truth lies deeply protected in you. It is protected from your casual thoughts. It is protected from the stormy seas of your daily, conscious experience. It is protected by its placement within your heart. The mind and all of its intellectual forces cannot storm the bastion of the open heart. Entities, then, seeking to share bits of their truth with others, become invested in this codified, formalized, organized structure of thoughts that add up to a way to seek the one infinite Creator. With the gift of hindsight, scholars have often pontificated as to where a certain religion went wrong or how a certain religion has everything right. Yet as soon as the seeking for the one infinite Creator becomes codified and organized beyond a certain point, it can be a delimiting influence rather than an expansive influence.
Then Q’uo said as they look back over some of our difficult experiences with authority figures who have attempted to tell us what to believe, to please understand that every entity who seeks to serve the infinite Creator can fall into “the trap” of teaching in such a way as to constrict the energies of those listening to his words, so Q’uo wanted to look at that energy of the authority figure who wishes to teach well in order to come into a more compassionate understanding of what drives such an entity because an entity who is moved and inspired by whatever personality or inspired writing becomes aware of himself in a special way, aware of how alive he is, and he thinks, “I must give this gift, this wonderful life I feel, to others! I must pass on this wonderful inspiration that is given to me!” And there is no intention of doing anything other than the purest of good, but the trap of dogma is always waiting for the teacher. Now Q’uo said it is a wise teacher who is able to differentiate between his personal experiences with the divine and that which is expressed in seeking the divine, and in a world that wishes to arrange life in an orderly manner, the mystical view, which is found at the heart of all religions and many philosophies as well, is found awkward to teach, so when you are speaking of something that is indescribable words fail, and the human tendency is to apply an organization to the mystery of the one Creator, and different religions had different reasons to create different structures of belief which have hardened into dogma, but if the Creator is infinite Love and Light, and if the creation is evolving forever, then there is always more truth than there was before since consciousness is continuously expanding, so the problem with any dogma is that it cannot re-form itself to hold the new truth that is flowing forth at every moment from the Creative principle. Q’uo went on to say as the seasons change the consciousness of humankind evolves and grows, and we are a part of that consciousness since we have access in every cell of our body and in every thought that we think about the one infinite Creator in Its undistorted form, yet that truth lies protected in us from our casual thoughts and by its placement within our heart, and the mind and all of its intellectual forces cannot take over our open heart so that when entities, seeking to share bits of their truth with others, become invested in this organized structure of thoughts that add up to a way to seek the one infinite Creator, scholars have often taught as to where a certain religion went wrong or how a certain religion has everything right, but as soon as the seeking for the one infinite Creator becomes organized beyond a certain point, it can be a limiting influence rather than an expansive influence. On January 2, 1994, Q’uo describe the nature of our open heart:
The open heart of the great Self which each self is is that center which is a unity. All of the portions of the Creator, shall we say rather misleadingly, seem to themselves to be in time and space each unique, each separate and each apart. Yet, in truth, the center of the constellations is the open heart. All measurement, all numbering, all ways of detailing and patterning the observed creation fall to dust before the open heart. Love is of a certain nature. The fullness, breadth, depth and height of the nature of Love is both revealed and concealed by its visibility and ready accessibility for each self contains this center without distortion within the open heart.
Many churches and many different religions decide to bypass the intellect and rest upon the opening of the heart. They engage in song after song that praises the one infinite Creator within the language and clothing of that particular religion. Their members are perhaps encouraged to pray out loud and to become ecstatic. And in the surging of the rhythmic cadences of the songs, in the prayers and the praise, the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator seem palpable. And therefore, the experience of those seeking the Creator in these ways has a certain amount of purity to it which is missing from those more intellectually organized religions where the mind is the tool used to probe at the meaning of life, of what it is to be a human being and what it is to serve the one infinite Creator. Interestingly enough, Love is the one great force that all entities know intimately, but which resists definition completely. And indeed, to attempt to use words to describe Love is to attempt to build a great edifice out of pebbles.
Love is all that there is. That one Thought is the creation. And you have a port on the ocean of that Thought in your heart of hearts. Therefore, you are as equipped as any entity in the universe to seek the one infinite Creator. You have primary access to the direct experience of the Creator. And indeed, it was for that purpose that you came into this illusion. You are gathering information. You are working with that information according to the biases of your personality and your desires. And as you gather your life experiences, each of you makes choices which open to you a way to move forward and to progress. And each of you has had this experience of awakening and coming to the realization that you are a truly powerful entity, able to question and able to seek. Once an entity has awakened and has begun to ask the deeper questions, a rhythm begins to occur between Creator and created. The asking and the answering becoming as entwined as a heartbeat, in and out, pulsing, pulsing, pulsing, so that as you ask, so you receive; as you ask, so you receive.
It is instantaneous and constant in your life. You have at each heartbeat, at each breath, the opportunity to ask and the opportunity to receive an answer. The sticking point here is that that answer comes within the mystery of silence. And it oozes up into your conscious experience almost as a surprise to you. You have learned by osmosis. You have soaked up the truth. And as you live out your life you discover what you are learning as it shows up in your thinking. And many are the epiphanies and “aha’s” of a spiritual life in which the seeker is content to let this teaching occur mostly in the silence of meditation, contemplation and the deep resting in whatever practices create for you personally a sacred chamber in which to tell the secrets of your heart to the loving ears of the one infinite Creator.
Now Q’uo said many religions bypass the intellect and rest upon the opening of the heart, and they engage in song after song that praises the one infinite Creator within the language of that religion, and their members are encouraged to pray out loud and to become ecstatic, so in the surging of the rhythmic cadences of the songs, in the prayers and the praise, the Love and Light of the one infinite Creator seem palpable, and the experience of those seeking the Creator in these ways has a certain purity to it which is missing from those more intellectually organized religions where the mind is the tool used to probe at the meaning of life and what it is to serve the one infinite Creator so that Love is the one great force that all entities know intimately, but to attempt to use words to describe Love is to attempt to build a great edifice out of pebbles.

On February 15, 2004, Q’uo spoke as to how we may experience epiphanies in our life:
Which is that direction which wants you as much as you wish it? It is a matter of asking and asking again, centering and asking, centering and asking, until the life process contains the centering and the asking, the centering and the asking far beyond even a habit and more into a way of breathing life in and breathing life out. Ask… rest… ask… rest… as a way of being, so that you are asking yourself to open to the sense of rightness, the sense of resonance that you may get through your body and any of your senses, within your heart and various energy centers, in those signs and wonders which mean something subjectively to you personally. When the asking has become a part of the in breath and the resting has become a part of the out breath and the time between breaths, then you have entered a state of mind, a way of being, that has the best possibility of bringing to you a richer load or harvest of information concerning the issue about which you are asking. Sometimes it is a very subtle thing and occurs over a period of time, while in other cases there are sudden and sharp epiphanies in which whole systems of the future are seen for the first time in wonderful delineation.
It is never known ahead of time what pattern shall emerge from the chaos of asking without expectation. Yet, when it comes, there is that sense of a converging pattern that will let you know that the pieces, as the one known as S said, seem to be coming together. Chaos seems to be melting into a certain quantum, a certain situation that has, to say it one way, the blessing of guidance; to say it another way, the resonance of a good pattern that fits within those parameters of your incarnation which you set up before birth. It is not that there is a fate laid out for you. The possibilities are always infinite. It is that you have created for yourself what this instrument would loosely call a mission, a personal plan of service and learning. And, when that mission is being materially addressed, with whatever success, there is a sense of being in the right place that is unmistakable
Youare consciousness. It is not something you possess. It is not a characteristic of you. Consciousness lives your life to the extent you can get the details of your personality out of the way. And yet the details of your personality are all valuable. Therefore, the perfectly natural desire of the intensely devoted student to cast aside the personality and devote the self entirely to the silence is, for most entities, a solution that shall not be satisfying. For most entities, each coloration and quirk of the personality is there for a reason. Each seeming challenge, difficulty, and sorrow that occurs in the life has been placed there not to make you stumble but to help you learn.
Entitieswho give themselves over to a religion and accept its dogma simplify their path in a certain way. And if they are able to dwell within that simplified structure of thought without falling into the trap of judgment of the self and other selves when they do not believe as do you, they are very likely to be able to use that religion as a way to the infinite Creator that works well. For each religion teaches the basic love of other people and the Love of the one infinite Creator. And if an entity loves the Creator and loves the neighbor as the self, however that is put, the path to graduation from third density is clear. The choices to serve others has been made. The work is good. More and more, however, as entities have matured after many, many incarnations within third density, entities find themselves unable to restrict themselves to the dogma and the canon law of a particular religion. And when entities find themselves unable to do this, then they are set on a new path, a path of their own choosing, a path which they will create themselves. Any entity can create within himself a way, a truth, and a life if he begins and ends with Love.
We would not for all the world criticize or undermine those who are in any religion or believe any philosophy. The paths to the one infinite Creator are as many as the self-conscious beings who seek that Creator. Your way will be unique to you, just as everyone else’s way is unique to them. It helps to see religion for the kind of powerful influence that it is. If you may see the forces of religion to include that of the world as well as that of the starry heavens, then you may see how quickly the energy of a new religion can become heavy and bogged down with dogma and politics. Look at the religion that this instrument understands the best, for it is her own: the Christian church. It began in the mysticism of the Essenes. The one known as Jesus the Christ was trained and trained in the Essene way as well as in the scholarship of the Jewish religion. This entity’s stories and parables were about simple things: being a peacemaker; understanding that he who loves the prisoner, the orphan, the widow, is loving Jesus the Christ; understanding that he who feeds the hungry is feeding Jesus the Christ.
Q’uo went on to say that we are consciousness, but it is not something we possess because consciousness lives our life to the extent we can get the details of our personality out of the way even though the details of our personality are valuable, so the natural desire of the devoted student to cast aside the personality and devote the self entirely to the silence is a solution that shall not be satisfying, for most of us each quirk of our personality is there for a reason, so each challenge that occurs in our life has been placed there to help us learn. Then Q’uo said those who give themselves over to a religion and accept its dogma simplify their path, and if they are able to dwell within that simplified structure of thought without falling into the trap of judgment of the self and other selves when they do not believe as they do, then they are able to use that religion as a way to the infinite Creator that works well, for each religion teaches the basic love of other people and the Love of the one infinite Creator, so if we love the Creator and the neighbor as the self, the path to graduation from third density is clear since the choices to serve others have been made, and the work is good, but as we have matured after many incarnations within third density, we find ourselves unable to restrict ourselves to the dogma of a particular religion, so when we find ourselves unable to do this, then we are set on a new path of our choosing, which we will create, and anyone can create within himself a path of truth and life if they begin and end with Love. Q’uo continued by saying they would not criticize those who are in any religion or believe any philosophy since the paths to the one infinite Creator are as many as the self-conscious beings who seek that Creator, and our way will be unique to us, just as everyone else’s way is unique to them, and it helps to see religion for the kind of powerful influence that it is, so we may see the forces of religion to include that of the world as well as that of the starry heavens, so then we may see how quickly the energy of a new religion can become bogged down with dogma and politics, so if we look at the religion that Carla understands the best, for it is her own–the Christian church–and it began in the mysticism of Jesus the Christ who was trained in the Essene way as well as in the scholarship of the Jewish religion, so His stories and parables were about simple things: “being a peacemaker; understanding that he who loves the prisoner, the orphan, the widow, is loving Jesus the Christ; understanding that he who feeds the hungry is feeding Jesus the Christ.” On March 13, 1988, Q’uo spoke of the life of Jesus the Christ:
That which the one known as Jesus the Christ exemplified was above all else unconditional Love, a Love so great that It was willing to lay down the Earthly life that others might live eternally. Thus, the pattern was given in a manner which each will approach from a unique point of beginning. Many will find the journey seems to lead in lands far distant from that spoken of by the one known as Jesus the Christ, and yet as each through experience and time moves closer and closer in its seeking towards greater and more refined expressions of that which you call truth, each will find that it moves closer to the heart of that which the one known as Jesus the Christ exemplified, the unconditional Love and compassion that is the gateway through which each shall pass at some point within the evolutionary process.
Jesusasked entities to care for each other and to hold all things in common. There was not in any of his teaching instruction on making a church. Indeed, this entity had no home, and during his peripatetic ministry, he walked on dusty trails with very little of worldly goods at all. In his name, and in his memory, humankind has created a monstrous, rich, arrogant, political organization with many beautiful buildings which reach to the heavens with their spires and their crosses. Yet within them there is no virtue, except in the hearts of those who still seek the infinite Creator and use those sacred spaces to do so. Look at any new idea and it is alive! It has a dynamic energy to it that excites people, and people want to capture that and pass that on to their children and their children’s children. And so, they make another building, another religion, another code to try to capture that which cannot be captured.
At the same time you must appreciate what religion has done for entities on planet Earth. It has given the intellect something to gnaw on. In many different ways it offers people a chance to meet the Creator. Whether you seek within the bounds of a religion or whether the path upon which you walk is one you have created yourself, your very nature demands that you will meet the Creator, again and again. Things will happen to you that are meaningful to you personally and that move your consciousness from one point to another. Whether you are an indigenous entity that has never read a book, an auto mechanic, a college professor, or the most rarified mystic meditating upon the roof of the world in Nepal or Tibet, you have an equal opportunity to meet the Creator upon the road of your everyday life. Appreciate religion for what it has offered to you and to all. In the mystery of the one infinite Creator there are no roads. There is no way to think upon the sacred. The only opportunity you have is to be the sacred, and therefore to know it from the inside out.
Within churches, and temples, and synagogues, and mosques the world over, you have entities and groups of entities who are dedicated to preserving a certain structure which has been helpful to many entities in their search for the infinite Creator. This instrument, for example, chose long ago, in her childhood, to live a life of faith within the Christian church as the path of her life. As she understands it—as she understood it then and as she understands it now—there was a particular virtue to dedicating her life to Christ. This entity was a devotee in a religion that does not usually have devotees, of that particular kind which this entity is. That is, she was not hungry to soak up the dogma, but rather hungry for the mystery that she felt bursting the bonds of dogma.
Q’uo continued by saying Jesus asked us to care for each other and to hold all things in common, but there was not in any of His teaching instructions on making a church, and He had no home, and during His ministry, He walked on dusty trails with very little of worldly goods, and in His memory humankind has created rich, arrogant, and political organizations with beautiful buildings which reach to the heavens with their spires and their crosses, yet within them there is no virtue, except in the hearts of those who still seek the infinite Creator and use those sacred spaces to do so, and if we look at any new idea it is alive, and it has an energy to it that excites people, and people want to capture that and pass it on to their children and their children’s children, and so they make another building, another religion, another code to try to capture that which cannot be captured.

Now Q’uo said within churches, temples, synagogues, and mosques we have groups of entities who are dedicated to preserving a certain structure which has been helpful to many entities in their search for the infinite Creator, and Carla chose in her childhood to live a life of faith within the Christian church as the path of her life, and as she understands it now there was a virtue to dedicating her life to Christ, and she was a devotee in a religion that does not usually have devotees that are not hungry to soak up dogma, but she was hungry for the mystery that she felt bursting the bonds of dogma. On June 24, 2005, Q’uo described the basic nature of dogma:
This instrument was very fortunate. For many people, the only way that they have found to approach their love of the one infinite Creator is to buy, as this instrument would say, hook, line, and sinker, the dogma of a particular sect of a particular religion. For those entities who wish to do this, we may say that it is a valid path to the one infinite Creator. We would point out, however, that it is trammeled and slowed by the dogma which it carries and by those entities which are excluded from the Love and the Light of their Creator, in their story of the Creator, by judgment.
When you see judgment, you know that you have, somehow, lost the way to a true understanding of unconditional Love. The one known as Jesus, this instrument’s Master, hung from the cross, unjustly judged, in the story of its Crucifixion. And, in that story, two thieves and murderers hung, one on each side. And one of those thieves said to the one known as Jesus the Christ, “I know I don’t deserve it, but, Lord, when you come to paradise, will you think of me?” And the one known as Jesus said, “This day you shall be with me in paradise.”
Does your Creator open Its arms and say, “Everybody in”? If so, my friends, you are on the right track. And if you run into an entity whose fear of not making that heavenly gate is such that it must cling to judgment, then bless that entity on its way and find ways to relate to that entity as a soul and not as a personality. Lift up beyond the details of its judgment of you and focus on your total acceptance of it. For it, too, is the Creator. It may have descended into fear. It may have chosen to judge others. And so that entity is creating an Old Testament Creation. But for you, it is a completely different Creation, and you get to judge.
Shall you open your heart in compassion or shall you close it because you can see something that might be amiss in another? You have the power! Forgive, and that entity is forgiven, that entity is lifted up. Choose your judgments well.

(Carla channeling)
Andshe understood that, in any sacred writing, there is a database of inspired thought which bursts the bonds of words when heard again and again in different circumstances of life. And so, this entity lives her “rule of life.” She continues to study the same database, the Holy Bible, which she has studied for her entire life. And yet she has rejected all dogma by conscious decision. Now, each entity can make this kind of choice for himself. And indeed, it is necessary to look carefully, and with the artist’s eye, at how to live a rule of life. We do recommend that each entity create a kind of rule of life for himself. What we cannot recommend is how that rule of life goes. You need to walk your own path, paying attention for that which the moment brings to you.
Q’uo said Carla understood that, in any sacred writing, there is a database of inspired thought which bursts the bonds of words when heard again and again in different circumstances of life, and she lives her “rule of life” by continuing to study the Holy Bible, which she has studied for her entire life, and she has rejected all dogma by conscious decision, and each of us can make this kind of choice for our self, and it is necessary to look carefully with the artist’s eye at how to live a rule of life, and Q’uo recommended that each of us create a rule of life for our self, but what they cannot recommend is how that rule of life goes because we need to walk our own path, paying attention to that which the moment brings to us. Then Q’uo said some entities are drawn to the Christian faith, and some are drawn to the Buddhist faith, so there is a path for just about every personality type, but all of these paths hold the barest skeleton of truth in its mysterious form because all of those structures of thought that religions represent fail as none of them satisfies our thirst to know the truth, and we are the possessor of truth, but we do not know that we are, but the Creator is generous in arranging for us within third density an illusion in which nothing can be known, and yet in which we can come to know our path is, but we cannot make it happen. Q’uo completed their reply by saying what we can do is to set our self up in an environment which is capable of holding knowing, so we should trust in our thoughts and feelings, and as we seek to awaken and to serve, look for the resonances that tell us that we are on the path that is for us, and then we will find that the creation is full of information for us, and the more that we practice listening, the more that we can hear of the voices that are speaking to us in every moment, and: “ We lift you up and honor you in our thoughts and in our hearts. For you have the courage to probe the darkness, knowing that there is nothing but Light. We wish you well on your seeking, and thank you for the opportunity to share these humble thoughts with you as you go upon your way.” On April 17, 1983, Hatonn spoke of how there is nothing but Light:
As you sit in meditation, parts of that journey flash before you, colors and visions and the sensation of speed, and any experiences you have had to come to this moment of peace. This is the precious moment of all creation. This instant is the excellent instant, far excelling past or future, for here your heart lies, and your consciousness rests, and you can receive and give forth the breath of creation, Love and Light. In and out you are filled with nothing but Light, nothing but Love. How interesting that you arranged this illusion so that it would be impossible for you to go through your incarnation in this state without renouncing nature, the nature of your body, your mind, and your emotions. Do you trust yourself? If you do, then you must know that you had good reason to hide from yourself the perfection of this moment. There were some points that you wanted to learn better than you knew them before. There were some parts of the spectrum of your Light and your Love that you wished to emphasize and explore.
May we ask if there are other queries at this time? We are those of
Q’uo.
[No further queries.]
We are those of Q’uo, and find that we have exhausted the questions of this group at this time. This leaves us only to say what a pleasure and a privilege it has been to be with you this evening. Your beauty astounds us. Your love of the Creator encourages us. And to be a part of this circle of seeking is a great blessing to us. We leave this instrument and this group in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. We are known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.
This morning I re-recorded the section on Synchronicity, Watch the Magic of the Holistic System Unfold from Chapter Eight of 102. Then I ran some errands with my first stop at Big O Tires in Middletown to see if it would be OK for me to have AAA tow Stanley to their parking lot to be worked on at some point this week. So, when I got to my rental car, I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to tow Stanley to Big O Tires. Then I stopped in at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some food and some Morning Glory Seeds. It was about 15 minutes after I got home that the tow truck arrived, and it towed Stanley to Big O Tires and left it in their parking lot. I gave Big O Tires the keys to Stanley and then drove out to Enterprise Rental Cars to return the Mirage rental car. Before I went in I called for a taxi to take me back to Big O Tires because I had just gotten a call from Big O Tires telling me that the problem with Stanley was the battery that was installed in February. I waited over half an hour, but no taxi showed up, so I was lucky that Enterprise Rental had a fellow who drove their van to take a couple of fellows to their hotel, and they said he could take me back to pick up Stanley. After I paid for the new battery the Big O Tire employee told me that it was well known that AAA installs used batteries in cars that they have been called to replace batteries in.
This afternoon I went out to the center of the cross in the back yard and took down the old netting on the four 8-foot poles that made a pyramid that I planted Morning Glories on last year, and then I dug up the ground in preparation for planting the Morning Glory seeds that I bought this morning. Then I went to get a tool to finish the putting up of the poles in the pyramid, and I noticed the fishpond pump had come apart from the tube that leads to the fountain, and it was pumping water out of the fishpond. So, I used a razor blade to cut a line through the duct tape around the tube and then used pliers to pull the duct off the tubing. Then I put super glue in the end of the tube and stuck it in the pump opening and taped it all together with new duct tape, and then I filled the pond with enough water to keep the fountain from shooting the water out of the pond.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
April 14
May Your Spirit Speak
I am of the principle of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of Love and in Its Spirit.
As one person looks upon another, creature looks at creature, and Spirit looks at spirit. In the eyes of some the creature is awake and the spirit quite asleep.
In the eyes of others, the spirit has so far awakened that the creature needs no expression, for all has been sublimated to the transformation of spirit. In each glance, in each touch, and in each word with other entities, may your spirit speak mutely and creatively to those about you, and may you rejoice to find the lively Spirit when and where you will.
Indeed, the Spirit is in all. And it is well that all encouragement be given by you, that it may be awakened. To each creature which has the spirit underneath there are awakening and enlivening words and graceful gestures of love and compassion which can be made which do not preach in words but speak volumes to the spirit within others in a sense which goes far deeper than words. Thus, may your spirit speak, and thus may you aid in recreating and transforming all to Spirit.
We leave you in the lively, creative, and transformational peace of the Spirit of Christ.
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.
