I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from March 18, 2007:

Jim: The question today is from Carla, and it states: “Q’uo, I have been writing a book about Confederation principles. It is about how third density works. In discussing these principles, I have found it helpful to offer them as information helpful to playing the ‘Game of Life.’ It is a sacred game yet it is definitely a game. “The issue of self-worth and dignity has been much on my mind of late. In a way, one could say that in framing life as a game, I have taken away its dignity and taken it lightly. I do not mean to do so. I believe this game to be most worthy. Could you offer me any spiritual principles that may aid me in finding the best way to talk about the worthiness of the game board?”

(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. It is, as always, a blessing and a privilege to be with this circle of seeking. We appreciate your calling us to be a part of your meditation, and we are happy to share our thoughts with you at this time. As always, we would request that each who hears these words uses his powers of discrimination to distinguish between those thoughts that are helpful and those that are not. We appreciate your consideration in this regard.

Your query this day is an interesting one. There is a certain amount of care which we shall need to take in responding because of the part of the puzzle that must be worked by the one asking the question. We do not wish to infringe upon the free will of the asker of the question, and we will refrain from doing so. However, there is, because of your asking about spiritual principles, much upon which we can comment. We shall do so in ways that do not infringe upon the free will of this instrument, who is the asker of the question. The concept of games is indeed normally associated with some form of amusement or entertainment. However, the entertainment and amusement value of a game is only part of its appeal to a player of a game. There is in humankind a tendency to wish to associate in groups. Once a group associates, it will spontaneously develop at first a rough and then, as time goes on, a more and more refined set of rules to govern the interactions of the members of that group.

Yourthird density is a relentlessly social density. There is literally no way an entity can avoid interacting with other entities of your species. Living upon the third density of planet Earth requires a society. There is an inevitable tendency within the mind of humankind towards creating games; that is, groups of people who are attempting to win something or to gain in some way and who are attempting to do so together. When this instrument chose the image of the game and extended it as a metaphor throughout the writing of the book, the fit was good because of the fact that, in terms of winning a common goal—that is, graduation from third density to fourth density positive—there is a process which follows a certain set of rules in which an entity can succeed in penetrating the game by means of learning, understanding and applying the rules of the game.

Therefore, from our point of view, using the image and the figure of the game is a good decision in terms of communicating, by means of familiar and comfortable structures, the massive structure of the Game of Life, as this instrument has termed it in her book. If one looks carefully at the great systems of thought that have attempted to describe the nature of life on planet Earth, the nature of humanity’s place in the cosmos or the nature of being itself, one may find in many different authors of many different systems of thought a structure emerging which defines the rules of the game which that particular philosophy set out to solve. There is a stigma attached to the word “game” because of its association with amusement and entertainment. And yet it is likely that each entity who reads these words will have systematically played games with himself as a means of coping and moving through life.

The question today is from Carla, and it states: “Q’uo, I have been writing a book about Confederation principles. It is about how third density works. In discussing these principles, I have found it helpful to offer them as information helpful to playing the ‘Game of Life.’ It is a sacred game, yet it is definitely a game.

On November 13, 2010, Q’uo described the Game of Life:

You are loved, you are needed, you are full of purpose, and you simply need to let go of any preconceived notions as to how that works and simply engage in life to the best of your ability, as a conscious seeker that understands the power of choice, the power of desire, the power of intention. The universe will begin to perceive you as joining the dance. You will begin to get synchronicities back. You will see repeating numbers. You will see your totem animal. You will see the signs that what you were thinking is important and that what you were thinking just now is especially important, so ponder it.

The universe will begin to help you. You will feel that feedback. And the more you lean into that, the more you will receive it, so that eventually, when someone says, “Well, why do you believe the way you do?” you have almost no ability to explain. Because you are an old, experienced hand at working with the Game of Life now. You understand about choices. You understand about love. You understand about the hall of mirrors in which all things speak to you—people, situations and things—and you are comfortable at last in this game, and enthusiastic to play it.

Forinstance, in school a student may decide that if a paper is ten pages long and is due in two weeks, the student will do a certain amount of work each day, fulfilling the game plan of being ready to write and then producing the paper on time. The strategy of how to get the paper written is a kind of game, and yet it is a quite serious game with a firm intention which has no aspect of entertainment or amusement in it. Rather, it is that which needs to be done in order to fulfill the requirements of the class. One can look at certain situations in life in the same way. For instance, to extend that particular situation, say that the student who is taking that class in college is also a parent and is attempting to work and go to school and take care of a child at the same time. In order to fulfill all of her duties, she will need to arrange her time carefully and if she is wise, this student, mother, and adult will create a game plan where there is a certain amount of time for this and a certain amount of time for that.

Using the figure of the game, the author enables the reader to slip into the story of what this game is about. We cannot estimate how entities will respond to the finished product that is streaming forth from the instrument’s cyber-pen. We cannot know precisely how spirit and she will interact. What we do know, in a sturdy and certain way, is that the worthiness of the game board will be expressed in the way the author and spirit present the material. Coming from a place of infinite respect and devotion to the infinite Creator, it is, in our humble opinion, extremely unlikely that whatever is written will fail in the end to inspire entities with the sense of the sacredness of the game being played.

Sometimes a creative entity can become too close to a project and can begin to question and doubt that which has gone into the creation of the project so far. We encourage the instrument to plow right into any doubts that come her way. And indeed, in general, when there is a second-guessing of a situation, when there is a wondering if something was the right thing to do, by all means give that concern its due. Give it time. Rest with that thought and see where it takes you when you are calm and serene in your mind and in your heart, so that whatever you discover from examining and reexamining an idea will not seem to be a negative thing but a positive thing, even if it causes changes.

We are not suggesting that this instrument should change anything. We are simply suggesting that if she is concerned, or indeed if any who create are concerned, that rather than quickly erasing and deleting and doing things over, there is a time allowed where the entity simply rests in the silence. Indeed, if there is one thing that is most helpful to any who attempts to create spiritually uplifting material, it is to embrace and use the silence. There is a tremendous amount of information that streams into each seeker’s mind and heart every moment. When the intention is set to hear that silent information, the result is instantaneous and enhanced guidance is immediately with the entity who is asking for that silent information. It does not necessarily result in an immediate and conscious realization of something specific that needs to be done. Rather, the nature of spiritual information and insight is that it balances and sets into perspective the events and situations that are being examined.

Now Q’uo said in school a student may decide that if a paper is ten pages long and is due in two weeks, the student will do a certain amount of work each day and then produce the paper on time, and the strategy of how to get the paper written is a serious game with an intention which has no aspect of entertainment in it, but it is that which needs to be done in order to fulfill the requirements of the class, so we can look at certain situations in life in the same way when the student who is taking that class in college is also a parent and is attempting to work, and go to school, and take care of a child at the same time, so in order to fulfill all of her duties, she will need to arrange her time carefully, and if she is wise she will create a game plan where there is a certain amount of time for this and a certain amount of time for that. Then Q’uo said using the idea of the game, the author enables the reader to slip into the story of what this game is about, but Q’uo cannot estimate how entities will respond to the book that is streaming forth from Carla’s cyber-pen or how spirit and she will interact, but what they do know is that the worthiness of the game board will be expressed in the way the author and spirit present the material because coming from a place of respect and devotion to the infinite Creator, it is, in their opinion, unlikely that whatever is written will fail in the end to inspire entities with the sense of the sacredness of the game being played. Q’uo continued by saying sometimes a creative entity can become too close to a project and can begin to doubt that which has gone into the creation of the project so far, so they encouraged Carla to deal with any doubts that come her way, and if there is wondering if something was the right thing to do, give that concern its due, and rest with that thought and see where it takes you when you are calm in your mind and in your heart, so that whatever you discover from reexamining an idea will not seem to be a negative thing but a positive thing, even if it causes changes. Q’uo went on to say we are not suggesting that Carla should change anything, but we are suggesting that if she is concerned, that rather than deleting and doing things over, there is time allowed where she rests in the silence because if there is one thing that is helpful to any who attempts to create spiritually uplifting material, it is to use the silence as there is a tremendous amount of information that streams into each seeker’s mind and heart every moment, so when the intention is set to hear that silent information, the result is enhanced guidance that is immediately with the entity who is asking for that silent information, and it does not necessarily result in a conscious realization of something specific that needs to be done, but the nature of spiritual information and insight is that it balances and sets into perspective the events and situations that are being examined. On April 22, 2007, Q’uo shared the value of seeking the silence:


We would like to ask all of you take a moment now and to become aware, in the silence that follows these words, of the beauty and the perfection of yourselves and of the fact that you are never alone. We ask you to rest in the silence and experience yourself.

We would also like you to open yourself to receiving information at the silent level. As the one known as Joshiah says, silent communication is by far more eloquent than words, for words are poor attempts to translate the mighty and living power of concept into the flat structures of language. We shall now pause. We are those known to you as Q’uo.

[Pause]

We thank you, my friends, for moving with us into this space of grace and sacredness. We of Q’uo are most grateful to be able to share with you on these silent levels. And truly there are many sources of positive information which are also glad to interact with you in the silence. It is, however, always necessary for you to ask for the presence of such entities in your meditations. This is to avoid any infringement upon your free will.

The making of the choice of polarity, either service to others or service to self, is indeed the central aspect of what this instrument has been calling in her book, “The Game of Life.” There is a common goal for all of humankind and that goal is to make The Choice. It is a simple concept, and indeed it is such a simple concept that it has escaped serious consideration except in those institutions which this instrument would call religious. Therefore, in our opinion, the use of this construction is a positive thing. We believe that the worth of that game, in the end, will speak for itself. For in the end, one sees a majestic, rainbow-colored structure of spiritual evolution that begins with this choice. Making this choice is the key to the spiritual development of each seeker for many, many lifetimes to come. And when this instrument chose to create this book, her desire was to get the information across in a simple manner. Consequently, we would encourage this instrument to persevere, without doubting the self, to strive for excellence and to tell the story truly and honestly. The story of love is worth the telling.

We would note before we leave the subject that although it is excellent for this instrument to write this book and for all who wish to serve to share their vision of helpful information, we feel that underlying all such efforts is one’s spirit. If it did not come through this instrument, it would come through another and another, for we do not speak any words that are unique to us except in the precise arrangement of the metaphysics of the information we offer. All of those concepts which are part of stating that the universe is unitary in nature and that, at this point in the development of humankind, it is time to make the choice of service to others or service to self, can be found in many different repositories of inspirational knowledge. Consequently, we suggest working through inspiration, rather than through any heavy feelings that there is an urgency or that time is short. These energies will not serve a spiritually oriented project, for they are the energies of fear. We would instead suggest, to all who wish to serve, serenity and acceptance of any given limitations in an absolute determination to see the project through to its natural end, in order that the baby that has been created may be birthed and shared with the world.

Then Q’uo said the making of the choice of polarity, either service to others or service to self, is the central aspect of what Carla has been calling in her book, “The Game of Life,” and there is a common goal for all of humankind, and that goal is to make The Choice, and it is a concept that has escaped consideration except in those institutions which Carla calls religious, so the use of this construction is a positive thing, and the worth of that game will speak for itself, for in the end making this choice is the key to the spiritual development of each seeker for many lifetimes to come, and when Carla chose to create this book, her desire was to get the information across in a simple manner, so we would encourage her to persevere, without doubting herself, and to tell the story truly and honestly because the story of love is worth the telling. Q’uo continued by saying we would say that although it is excellent for Carla to write this we feel that underlying the seeker’s efforts is one’s spirit, and if it did not come through Carla it would come through another, for we do not speak any words that are unique to us except in the precise arrangement of the metaphysics of the information we offer, and all of those concepts which are part of stating that the universe is unitary in nature and that it is time to make the choice of service to others or service to self can be found in many different sources of inspirational knowledge, so we suggest working through inspiration, rather than through any feelings that time is short because these energies will not serve a spiritually oriented project, for they are the energies of fear, and we would suggest, to all who wish to serve, acceptance of any limitations in a determination to see the project through to its natural end, in order that the baby that has been created may be birthed and shared with the world. On March 18, 1990, Q’uo spoke of the value of being able to accept limitations in our lives:

We speak directly to this particular instrument as well as in general to all, for this instrument has recently moved through the concepts of authority, limitation, and the making of decisions and it has discovered, and you will discover, the positive and the negative necessity of the acceptance of limitations being the beginning of the true choosing of that which is good to do for the self, and that which is kind to yield to for the self. It takes more patience than many have to wait upon inspiration, for the process of waiting is the process of forgiving the self for the limitation it has, and a beginning to believe that the change that is occurring is not a limitation, but a transformation, an alteration of the path of service intended by yourself and the Creator together before this incarnational experience was ever begun.

May we ask if there is another query at this time?

Jim: D asks: “I read a little of Walter Russell’s work, and he mentioned in his treatise on light that our universe expands and contracts in 14-billion-year cycles. Could Q’uo comment on this?”

We are those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my brother. May we say that it is good to touch into your wonderful energy. As to this time period suggested by Walter Russell, it is certainly accurate and is a portion of the cyclical energies that create the heartbeat of the one infinite Creator. We would also note that time is a slippery and plastic thing when it is being applied to spiritual time as opposed to physical time. The inadequacies of such measurements are due to that factor.

Is there another query at this time?

Jim: Just one more. A lady by the name of F was asking: “Why have I developed a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields? Is the sensitivity associated with spiritual growth or healing? Can it be used to assist others? Are there any spiritual principles involved which would help me contemplate this question?”

Weare those of Q’uo, and are aware of your query, my sister. That which is occurring to you, my sister, is a result of what we might call the thinning of the veil, as you have made the choice to awaken and to live life consciously if you can. When such a decision is made, and then when the decision is followed by a persistent series of ethical choices that bolster this decision to be alive, to live from the heart, and to espouse the values of unconditional Love, in time this creates an entirely different inner environment within that entity who was before comfortably asleep and is now wide awake and alert. Spiritual work is expressed in each seeker’s physical body in different ways. Some people experience electrical energy moving over their body. Some people experience similar sensations but rather than the sensations being electrical, they are those of being much larger than they actually are, as if, seated in the chair, their bulk became balloon-like and almost floated in the room.

There are as many reactions to increased awareness, and therefore increased energy, as there are people. Your response to the constant bombardment of third-density Earth with fourth-density waves of energy has caused you to have this particular reaction. There is no particular spiritual credit or debit to such sensations. They are a fairly mechanical part of your consciousness waking up and beginning to investigate who it is, who you are, what you are doing here, and so forth. We encourage you, my sister, to move right along with your investigation and not to be dismayed by the variations in your awareness of electromagnetic energies.

You will of course need to find out how to be comfortable with these sensations, but we would suggest encouraging cooperation in a fearless and joyful way with the symptoms when they occur. As to their being useful, this is something which we cannot discuss other than to say that it is a good question for you to ask yourself. It is a good avenue of inquiry to pursue in your personal process. We wish you and all of those who are awakening and feeling somewhat disquieting symptoms of this type the courage to move forward without fear. For these are momentary and light symptoms of an awakening heart and nervous system, shall we say. It is as though, when you awaken spiritually, your energy body gets a chance to stretch and breathe and bloom. So, you are in the process of helping your energy body to achieve a real maturity and many-petaled beauty. And we encourage you, and all who would seek, to serve and to learn.

F asked: “Why have I developed a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields? Is the sensitivity associated with spiritual growth or healing? Can it be used to assist others? Are there any spiritual principles involved which would help me contemplate this question?” Q’uo said that which is occurring to you is a result of the thinning of the veil, as you have made the choice to awaken and to live life consciously, and when the decision is followed by a series of ethical choices that strengthen this decision to live from the heart, and to express the values of unconditional Love, this creates a different inner environment within that entity who was asleep and is now awake, and spiritual work is expressed in the physical body in different ways, so some people experience electrical energy moving over their body, and some people experience similar sensations, but they feel larger than they are, and their bulk became balloon-like and floated in the room.

On May 25, 2019, Q’uo described how fourth-density vibrations can affect our energy body:

We would suggest that as you are in your meditative state and experiencing the expansive qualities of your own energy body moving in a greater and greater range of frequencies that are in excess of the normal range for yourself, that there is the, shall we say, interconnection between your energy body, and the vibratory patterns of the planetary sphere that are being expressed in the manner which we were describing in our previous answer to your query about the difficult harvest; for as you are expanding in your own ability to experience and appreciate the vastness of the spiritual searching that your energy body allows you to have, you are also experiencing some of those difficult vibrations that are everywhere present, and which impinge upon the unitive experience that is attempting to manifest itself through your meditative state.

Is there a final query at this time?

[Pause]

If there is no further query at this time, we will take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each in the love and the light, the power and the peace, 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 Patterns of Choice—The Initial Choice from Chapter Eight of 102. Then I went outside and planted Morning Glories in the center of the cross in the back yard, and then I placed netting around the pyramid made with 8 ft. plastic poles to keep the deer from eating the Morning Glories. Then I went to my mailbox at the end of the parking area in front of my home and planted Morning Glories in the two round containers on the side of the mailbox and covered them with netting. Then I went behind the garage and planted Morning Glories in the four 5 gal. buckets. Then I watered all of the Morning Glories.

This afternoon I re-recorded the section on Repetitions of Choice from Chapter Eight from 102 which completed the re-recording of 102. Then I went outside and dug up the Ruins Mound Garden in preparation for planting some annual flowers there in the next week or so.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

April 15

You Seek The Uncreated Things

I am of the consciousness of Love, and I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ.

I am the Spirit, created before all worlds and uncreated, attaching creation to un-creation in the fullness of the Father.

Before your minds lie things created. And yet you seek the uncreated things, that which you call the mystery. You need seek no further than the depths and recesses of your being. Each soul is uncreated as well as created, potential as well as active, unstructured as well as infinite, full and whole, with a wholeness of that which is not created but merely is a gift.

For Love is that substance which not only is created but creates its own creation from itself. Never fear that you shall lack, in the Spirit of Love, to be able to offer Love in any amount if you but seek the uncreated strength and fullness of the spirit of Jesus Christ. Infinity lies within you and Light which seems inaccessible to the eyes is accessible in prayer.

We leave you in the peace of wholeness, now and ever.

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.
