I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 6, 2007:
Jim: The question this week comes from our beginning discussion of Stonehenge and its original purpose, thinking that it has something to do with seasons. We were thinking about the seasons of the seeker. Are there seasons in seeking? Most people start out very much on fire and very excited about seeking and read a lot, and meditate a lot, and do all kinds of things, and then it kind of reduces in intensity, and the seeking becomes more of a normal kind of thing, a day-by-day thing. So, we referred back to the sessions with Ra where Don’s question was:
It seems to me that the primary thing of importance for those on the service-to-others path is the development of an attitude which I can only describe as a vibration. This attitude would be developed through meditation, ritual, and the developing appreciation for the creation or Creator which results in a state of mind that can only be expressed by me as an increase in vibration or oneness with all. Could you expand and correct that statement?
And then Ra said:
We shall not correct this statement but shall expand upon it by suggesting that to those qualities you may add the living day by day and moment by moment, for the true adept lives more and more as it is.
And in the following session, Don said:
You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is. Will you explain and expand more upon that statement?
And Ra said:
Each entity is the Creator. The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of itself, gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self. The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.
The adept then begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to affect the inner work which has to do with being. As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time; that is, the one infinite Creator.
So, we would like Q’uo to talk to us about these seasons or cycles of seeking and what we can expect as we continue to seek.
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this day. We thank you for creating this circle of seeking and for asking for us to join you and to offer our humble thoughts. As always, my friends, we would ask that you employ your discrimination in listening to what we have to say, and if a thought that we offer does not resonate to you, please leave it behind. In this way we can feel comfortable in knowing that we are not infringing upon your free will or interfering with the process of your evolution of mind, body, and spirit. We thank you for this consideration.
Wewould start our discussion with observing the affection of the cat that is in the instrument’s lap at this time and purring loudly because it appreciates the energies of the meditation. Indeed, as the one known as Jim reads from the words of the entity known as Ra, there is a vibration or an essence that is more and more, for the maturing spiritual seeker, the identity of that seeker. That vibration is who he is, and many things affect that vibratory rate from moment to moment, from day to day and from season to season. The seasons of your planet are more than simply those shifting zones of temperature, humidity, and weather. They represent the flow of constant repositioning of the forces that impinge upon your planet from the stars near and far, from the moon, and from your sun especially. Let us look at these seasonal cycles first.
Theculture of those who dwell in cities and who have heated homes in the winter, and cooled homes in the summer, and who work in air conditioned offices for a living can easily disregard the passage of the seasons. They do not affect him overmuch. He is protected by the civilization and the comforts of that civilization. Yet the body, both the physical body and the energy body being components of that energy system, is preternaturally aware on a subconscious level, far from the conscious mind, of these shifting seasons and these shifting arrangements of energy that are impinging upon him and upon his body as the seasons roll around from fall to winter, from winter to spring, from spring to summer and from summer to fall.
The equinoxes, one of which you have experienced recently—that is, the fall equinox—offer to you a time of balance. They are the year’s equivalent of twilight and dawning, that time when one set of nature spirits and weather spirits, shall we say, are going to sleep and another set are waking up. It is a very magical time. Therefore, it is a good idea to cooperate with the fall equinox and the spring equinox by noting its passing and allowing the self some extra time to rest and reflect upon that which has passed since spring, and then in the spring to reflect upon that which has passed during the long night of winter. You are a voyager upon a journey that is affected by that “weather of the spheres,” shall we say, that your heavenly bodies, your stars and star systems, your planets and especially your moon offer you. The equinoxes are times to reflect on those. And another good opportunity at equinox is to welcome the energies that are coming in. It is helpful to recognize and greet the incoming energies.
So, we would like Q’uo to talk to us about these seasons or cycles of seeking and what we can expect as we continue to seek. Q’uo began by saying they would start their discussion by observing the affection of the cat that is in the instrument’s lap at this time and purring loudly because it appreciates the energies of the meditation, and as Jim reads from the words of Ra, there is an essence that is more the identity of that spiritual seeker, and that vibration is who we are, and many things affect that vibratory rate from moment to moment, from day to day, and from season to season, and the seasons of our planet are more than shifting zones of temperature, humidity, and weather because they represent the flow of constant repositioning of the forces that impinge upon our planet from the stars near and far, from the moon, and from our sun especially, so let us look at these seasonal cycles first. Then Q’uo said the culture of those who dwell in cities and have heated homes in the winter, and cooled homes in the summer, and who work in air conditioned offices for a living can disregard the passage of the seasons because they do not affect us much since we are protected by the comforts of that civilization, yet both our physical body and our energy body being components of that energy system, are aware on a subconscious level of these shifting seasons that are impinging upon us and upon our body as the seasons roll around from fall to winter, from winter to spring, from spring to summer, and from summer to fall. Q’uo continued by saying the equinoxes offer to us a time of balance since they are the year’s equivalent of twilight and dawning, that time when one set of nature spirits and weather spirits are going to sleep and another set is waking up, and it is a magical time, so it is a good idea to cooperate with the fall equinox and the spring equinox by noting their passing and allowing our self time to reflect upon that which has passed since spring, and then in the spring to reflect upon that which has passed during the long night of winter since we are a voyager upon a journey that is affected by that “weather of the spheres,” that our heavenly bodies, our star systems, our planets, and our moon offer us, so the equinoxes are times to reflect on those, and another good opportunity at equinox is to welcome the energies that are coming in. On November 17, 1991, Q’uo speaks of the nature of the heavenly bodies in the study of astrology:
Astrology offers one way of learning more about the deeper mind, or what we have called the archetypical mind. It is a complex and detail-driven technology, if you will, the system of ephemeral, mathematical constructs having to do with configurations of heavenly bodies. To the student who wishes to probe more deeply within the self, to become more and more familiar with those uncharted regions of the self represented by the marker in consciousness which you could call sub-awareness, there is this sub-awareness that the deeper studies at this crux may be those which have fruitful results. On this level, let us say, the awareness of specific and personal detail is not that which we speak of at this time, but rather the archetypical mind finds explication by the relationships of heavenly bodies to each other and to this planetary sphere upon which you presently enjoy incarnation. At this level much deep awareness can be encouraged by immersion in that complex set of relationships of star to star, and star to the system of star and planets which you call home.
Theapproach of winter brings outer evidence of an altered environment, cold temperatures, precipitation being snow and sleet instead of rain. There is less and less light as one enters into the depths of this long winter’s night. And these energies are to be welcomed. It is a good time to take stock as a spiritual seeker of what the daylight has brought through the warm months, to give thanks for those lessons and to settle and seat them in the deep mind, appreciated, honored, and respected. The summer solstice and the winter solstice, on the other hand, are times of power, times of epiphany and insight. At winter equinox one is resting at the very nadir of light. The hours of darkness have completed their march, and your beloved planet Earth is at its farthest from the sun. This is the time to set the intentions, to move into the caves and the depths of your being. This is the time to ask the darkness to envelop and cover the seeds that are the fruit of your past work and to set your intention to embrace those, fertilizing and fructifying those energies of darkness that are needed to incubate and nurture those seeds of intent.
It is at this winter equinox that that great figure of Light, the one known as Jesus the Christ, enters the world. So, you may behold yourself wrapped in a cradle of darkness and wrapped also in your firm intent to nurture the infant soul within you. It is a time when it is very easy to slip the bonds of life for those that are marginally living as the darkness descends. It becomes easier to let those tenuous bonds that hold one to life go. This is the cause of there being many elderly entities, especially, who choose the winter months to enter the gates of larger life and leave the world of Earth behind. This particular group has had a practice at the winter solstice of setting the bonfire and giving to the dark all of those things that they would wish to be gone from their world—poverty, illness, anger, and war and all of those difficult and intransigent energies of violence and greed. And this is a good practice, we feel. It is good to mark these points within your cycle of the year and cooperate as fully as you can with the special energies of those times.
The spring equinox is also a time of deep reflection, a time when one is saying goodbye to the night and hello to the dawning of a new planetary day, that long day of spring, and summer, and early fall when the energies begin to manifest, bursting forth from the seeds which you have planted in the darkness of winter. In each density of your planet there is that changing of the guard. In the unseen realms this is just as true as in your everyday world. Powers upon powers, spirits upon spirits in the unseen worlds dance their dance and leave at the appointed time, making way for those entities of the new time. And so it is in spring. As the darkness dies, the energies of fertilization and nurturing and deep intent give way to the welcoming of the light and a readiness to be stewards of the energies within oneself which are coming into bloom.
Then Q’uo said the approach of winter brings outer evidence of an altered environment, cold temperatures, precipitation being snow and sleet instead of rain, and there is less light as we enter into the depths of long winter’s nights, and these energies are to be welcomed because it is a time to take stock as a spiritual seeker of what the daylight has brought through the warm months, to give thanks for lessons, and to seat them in our deep mind honored and respected, but the summer solstice and the winter solstice are times of power and epiphany, so at winter equinox we are resting at the least of light, and the hours of darkness have completed their march, and our Earth is at its farthest from the sun, so this is the time to set our intentions, to move into the depths of our being, and this is the time to ask the darkness to cover the seeds that are the fruit of our past work and to set our intention to embrace those fructifying energies of darkness that are needed to nurture those seeds of intent. Q’uo went on to say it is at this winter equinox that the great figure of Light, Jesus the Christ, enters the world, so we may behold our self wrapped in a cradle of darkness in our intent to nurture the infant soul within us, and it is a time when it is easy to slip the bonds of life for those that are marginally living as the darkness descends because it becomes easier to let those bonds that hold us to life go, and this is the cause of there being many elderly entities who choose the winter months to enter the gates of larger life and leave the world of Earth behind, and this group has a practice at the winter solstice of setting the bonfire and giving to the dark all of those things that they would wish to be gone from their world: poverty, illness, anger, and war and all of those difficult energies of violence and greed, and this is a good practice to mark these points within our cycle of the year and cooperate with the special energies of these times. Q’uo continued by saying the spring equinox is a time of reflection, a time when we are saying goodbye to the night and hello to the dawning of a new day, that long day of spring, summer, and early fall when the energies begin to burst forth from the seeds which we have planted in the darkness of winter, and in each density of our planet there is that changing of the guard, and in the unseen realms this is as true as in our everyday world where powers upon powers, spirits upon spirits in the unseen worlds dance their dance and leave at the appointed time, making way for those entities of the new time, and so it is in spring as the darkness dies, the energies of nurturing and intent give way to the welcoming of the Light and a readiness to be stewards of the energies within our self which are coming into bloom. On September 11, 2010, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the unseen worlds:
As this instrument was saying before the meditation, when one is willing to see the self as an instrument that can receive and send out thoughts, one discovers that one can put oneself in progressively focused states in which the focus is not in the physical but in the metaphysical world. The focus upon vibration itself is especially apt to bring one into a state in which one is very vulnerable to vibration.
There are many, many aspects to this study of that which there is to pick up from the physical universe which holds and nests within its atoms, shall we say, the entirety of all the unseen worlds. Therefore, there is an enormous population of those who would wish to communicate with those who are sensitive and can pick up that signal that is coming through. This instrument recalls the one known as Willie Nelson who said that he never had to make up a melody. He would just pick one out of the air because they were singing all the time.
Another cycle that can be used by the spiritual seeker is the cycle of the moon. This is subtle work and yet it is well done, for the moon’s influence is as the influence upon the ocean. There are tides within your body that ebb and flow according to the new moon and the full moon. It is skillful at the new moon to plant new ideas, and set certain intentions that you wish to set or to reexamine intentions that you have previously set. At the full of the moon, on the other hand, it is well to rejoice and open and allow those emotions that are within you that are linked to spirit to express themselves, not with a hectic excitement, but with a passionate equanimity. Seasons for a spiritual seeker are not necessarily totally coincidental with the seasons of the year, for there are deep rhythms within a seeker’s life that are expressed throughout an entire incarnation. Each entity will have its own long rhythms of creation, manifestation and rest. Many have written about the various stages of life, seeing the tiny child grow and swell into an entity in its full state of youth and health and vigor, then seeing that entity complete the circle, dwindling down into that second childhood which ends in death.
Now Q’uo said it is no mistake that Lent occurs in the Christian year at this time of the year, nor is it surprising that many housekeepers choose spring to clean house and make everything fresh again, for the time of manifestation has begun, and summer’s heat coaxes bloom and fruit from the sleeping Earth in all the glory of spring, and summer bursts into being, and on an inner level, warm weather is the time for realizing the fruits of growing seeds within us because it is an active time of intensity and brightness, and the entities who aided those of our people to create that structure known as Stonehenge joined in this effort because of the magical potential for cooperating with the seasons. Q’uo went on to say we would recommend for those who would like to blend more skillfully with these seasonal ebbs and flows, that reading be done in the area of natural magic, called “Wicca,” which is neither a positive nor negative kind of magic but a unified system of awarenesses having to do with what energies ebb and flow, not only at the equinoxes and the solstices, but at the halfway point between equinox and solstice and solstice and equinox, and there are sensitive entities who have investigated even further refinements, offering suggestions for each of the stations along the planetary year. Q’uo continued by saying another cycle that can be used by the spiritual seeker is the cycle of the moon, and this is subtle work, for the moon’s influence is as the influence upon the ocean, so there are tides within our body that ebb and flow according to the new moon and the full moon, and it is skillful at the new moon to set certain intentions or to reexamine intentions that we have previously set, but at the full moon it is well to rejoice and allow those emotions that are within us that are linked to spirit to express themselves with a passionate equanimity because seasons for a spiritual seeker are not totally coincidental with the seasons of the year, for there are deep rhythms within a seeker’s life that are expressed throughout an incarnation, so each of us will have our rhythms of creation, manifestation, and rest, and many have written about the stages of life, seeing the child grow into an entity in its full state of youth and health and then seeing that entity complete the circle which ends in death of the body. On January 3, 1993, Q’uo described the value of the deep rhythms of our consciousness:
Now, in seeking the Creator we so often assume that, of course, we accept that we are children under the one great original Creator’s care. However, in the day to day experience this seeming unconditional acceptance is refused and ignored by the thoughts of doubting the goodness of a destiny which would so bombard you with difficult situations and emotions. Once you have seen this portion of your attitude come into focus, that is a simple and profound faith in the system of learning lessons in your density. Then you may choose wisely how you may approach the sense impressions which make up the daily experience. If all things are good but often unknown, then it is with eager interest and positive hopes that one would take up every new thing that came forward to the sinecure of attention.
Yet this remains not so, because the nature of one who is cut off from the processes of the deep mind cannot stay consciously at all times in the deep rhythms of existence. The feeling of being lost on the sea of troubles is quite literally cut off from the sea of consciousness in which all that is separate comes into one unified stem or root, and is ultimately lost in the mystery of Godhead. So, persistently you shall, even though affirming the goodness of all experience and affirming the goodness of your lessons, come up again and again against the outrageous, unacceptable, painful experiences which, by subtle or bold means, shake your comfort apart and force you to deal not only with the situation but with your own feelings about that situation.
You see, you can know that all is well and know that everything is for you to learn, but this does not keep the unruly emotions of a deeply sensitive being which has been cut off from the resting place of eternity from feeling many, many painful things, and seemingly having to feel them in the darkness of solitude, whether it be total solitude or simply the deep loneliness of inner solitude. You cannot expect any attitude whatsoever to buffer you from feeling emotions. This, we feel, is where your query was aimed. We hope you can see that all we said before stands as the foundation upon which we can talk about having attitudes.
Within this incarnation’s long cycle, there are sub-cycles wherein various learnings are begun, executed, and completed. At the end of those times there may be seen to be feelings of part of the self slipping away or dying away and another part of the self coming into bloom. This instrument is aware of those who feel that these cycles are in terms of seven years, yet we would say that this is not a strict truth. Rather, it is true that for each entity there are cycles that take many years to complete. And while this cycle is going on, from the inside of the cycle the experience is that this is the self and this shall be the self for all of the life long. Yet indeed this is not so. If you reflect back on various portions of your life you shall see that you have indeed gained so much from previous cycles that you have been transformed by them. We would perhaps call these cycles of learning and growth those which end with the dark night of the soul and then which spring into new life with the revelation and epiphany that the dawning after that dark night brings.
There is another type of cycle that affects the spiritual seeker, and that has to do with the placement of the self within this time of shift. There are repeated convergences of energies that signal and herald degrees of interpenetration of the new age with the old age, the fourth density with the third density. These are very powerful times for spiritual seekers because the incoming fourth-density energy is an energy of transparency to truth. You may have noticed that various aspects of your shadow side have been mirrored to you in these last few years and that this effect is continuing and intensifying. We can only encourage you to cooperate with these intense waves of energy as they sweep through your energy body and your awareness. These are magical times for those who wish to craft for themselves an ever more solid awareness of who they are.
Q’uo continued by saying within this incarnation’s cycle, there are sub-cycles where learnings are begun and completed, and at the end of those times there may be seen to be feelings of part of our self dying away and another part of our self coming into bloom, and Carla is aware of those who feel that these cycles are in terms of seven years, but Q’uo said this is not a strict truth, but it is true that for each of us there are cycles that take years to complete, so while this cycle is going on, from the inside of the cycle, the experience is that this is our self for all of the life long, yet this is not so, and if we reflect on various portions of our life we shall see that we have gained much from previous cycles, and we have been transformed by them, so Q’uo called these cycles of learning and growth those which end with the dark night of the soul, and then which spring into new life with the revelation that the dawning after that dark night brings. Now Q’uo said there is another type of cycle that affects the spiritual seeker, and that has to do with the placement of our self within this time of shift, and there are repeated convergences of energies that signal degrees of blending of the fourth density with the third density, so these are powerful times for spiritual seekers because the incoming fourth-density energy is an energy of transparency to truth, and we may have noticed that various aspects of our shadow side have been mirrored to us in these last few years, and this effect is intensifying, so Q’uo encouraged us to cooperate with these waves of energy as they sweep through our energy body and our awareness because these are magical times for those of us who wish to craft a solid awareness of who we are. On May 25, 2003, Q’uo spoke of the nature of fourth density energy:
Entities shall move into early fourth density no matter what happens to your sphere as the density changes, and they will repair the planet with the planet’s cooperation. Indeed many entities even now are repairing their little bit of the planetary surface by loving and talking to the Earth, by cooperating with what this instrument would call nature deities or divas, by relating to the surroundings of self with the understanding that all things are alive, all things work in rhythm and in harmony, and all things except those sunk in the mire of third-density forgetting not only love each other but know that they are one. In this atmosphere, the possibilities of becoming a powerful, magical person are great, and as the time sharpens the focus right unto the moment of birth of fourth density, there is in effect a fourth-density energy that is now as real upon your sphere as the third-density energy. It shows up within the physical world only by creating anomalous effects in terms of physics’ sub-atomic particles, but it shows up within the inner life of that wonderful multilayered being that each of you is in a much more clear and obvious way, as the interpenetration of the two densities becomes such that it is much easier for nature, or for the forces of coincidence, to work in order to bring things to your attention which you have asked to be brought to your attention. That is why, in the midst of such challenging times, such times of transformation and change, yet still each of you has had the feeling of entities helping along the way, unseen hands giving a boost and angelic guidance coming through unexpected and unusual means.
It may seem that these energies are inimical. Certainly, there is discomfort at times in seeing the shadow side of yourself in a new way and perhaps for the first time. There is, however, no stigma in having a shadow side. There is no embarrassment or shame in finding that your armor of light is not seamless. You may with calmness observe the uncomfortable truths that may face you as you take in these energies of light and truth. We encourage you never to judge yourself but only to love yourself ever more fully as you understand yourself, ever more fully.
We would address that portion of the question that has to do with becoming an entity which is focused in being rather than in doing, in essence rather than in form. Friends, each portion of your physical reality has a form, yet it also has an essence. Every piece of earth, every flower, and every human being is both form and essence. Your outer culture naturally has to do for the most part with form and manifestation. It is not your outer culture’s habit even to investigate the essence that lies within the forms. To the spiritual seeker, forms shall never satisfy. There is always hunger after essence; the essence of yourself, the essence of the creation around you, the essence of who the Creator is. The portion of you that is involved with forms is also involved with those mental and emotional forms or masks that you may call the ego or the personality shell.

(Carla channeling)
One of the most powerful experiences for any spiritual seeker is to be able to move through the lower chakras into the open heart and from there into indigo and then violet and then the gateway to intelligent infinity. As the seeker does this, he becomes the Creator. Yet, my friends, we would not say that this is the goal of spiritual seeking. Rather we would say that your aim as a spiritual seeker is to become able to move from form to essence and back to form and back to essence, in an ever more flowing and harmonious manner, neither scorning the surface of things nor becoming overly enamored of the higher states of meditation and awareness. Your goal as a spiritual seeker is to find where your heart truly lies in terms of polarity. Shall you serve the light or shall you serve the darkness? When you have made that choice, then you have the rest of your incarnation before you as an environment in which to practice being that entity which is a servant and becoming ever more comfortable in that polarity, so that gradually, over time, you become truly balanced. The dance moves through many cycles and yet always within you, at the heart, is that point of infinite stillness in which essence is all and love rings out to the farthest reaches of the infinite creation.
Q’uo went on to say it may seem that these energies are difficult, and there is discomfort in seeing the shadow side of our self in a new way, but there is no stigma in having a shadow side or shame in finding that our armor of light is not seamless, so we may observe the uncomfortable truths that may face us as we take in these energies of light and truth, so Q’uo encouraged us never to judge our self but only to love our self as we understand our self more fully. Then Q’uo said they would address that portion of the question that has to do with becoming an entity which is focused on being rather than on doing, and each portion of our physical reality has a form, yet it also has an essence, and every piece of earth, every flower, and every human being is both form and essence since our outer culture has to do with form and manifestation, but it is not our outer culture’s habit to investigate the essence that lies within the forms, and as a spiritual seeker forms shall never satisfy us because there is always our hunger after the essence of our self, the essence of the creation around us, and the essence of who the Creator is, so the portion of us that is involved with forms is also involved with mental and emotional forms that we may call the personality shell. Q’uo continued by saying there is a great deal that we can do on that surface level to live more in cooperation with the environment about us, and it is at this level that we will use the seasons, yet the influence of the seasons moves into essence as well as form, just as we move into essence as well as form, and as we approach spiritual maturity, we begin to release portions of our surface self, so we find parts of our personality shell falling away, and in the place of that personality, we will find an awareness that is deep within us that is impersonal and that partakes more of essence, and this movement from form to essence, and from our thinking mind to our consciousness, is the meat and drink of spiritual seeking because at the heart of each of us there is an identity of being one with each other, and with all that there is, and we share the same consciousness that is the Creator’s consciousness which is nature of unconditional Love. Q’uo completed their reply by saying one of the most powerful experiences for any spiritual seeker is to be able to move through the lower chakras into the open heart and from there into indigo, and then violet, and then the gateway to intelligent infinity, and as we do this we become the Creator, but Q’uo would not say that this is the goal of spiritual seeking, but they would say that our aim as a spiritual seeker is to become able to move from form to essence and back to form and back to essence, in an harmonious manner, neither scorning the surface of things nor becoming overly enamored of the higher states of awareness since our goal as a spiritual seeker is to find where our heart lies in terms of polarity by deciding if we will serve the light or serve the darkness, and when we have made that choice, then we have the rest of our incarnation as an environment in which to practice being a servant and becoming more comfortable in that polarity, so that we become balanced because the dance moves through many cycles, yet always within us is that point of infinite stillness in which essence is all, and love rings out to the farthest reaches of the infinite creation. On September 26, 2009, Q’uo said how we can better serve the light:
However, in another sense, it is almost antithetically the case that temptations are not distractions from the path. Temptations are the path. There is virtue in becoming eager to meet catalyst or to greet temptation because it is in those moments that you are able to do the work of learning that you came to do. It is in those moments of challenge that you are able to declare yourself as an entity of service to others, an entity that wishes to serve the light and that wishes to be an instrument for love and peace. Without the catalyst, without the temptations, those fine moments would not come, and you would not gain a sense of yourself nearly as quickly within incarnation.
Therefore, we encourage each to develop an appetite for catalyst and temptation, not because it is fun to go through the tempering of the personality so that the personality becomes a magical one, but because this is the way in which you, as a seeker, are able to advance and accelerate the pace of your spiritual evolution.
We thank those of this group for creating such an interesting question. It has been our pleasure to contemplate various facets of it, for it indeed is a large question and could be probed from many different angles. Before we ask if there are other questions, we would ask if there is a follow-up to this main question. We are those of Q’uo.
[Inaudible]
We are those of Q’uo, and are aware that this theme has been exhausted for the evening. In that case, my friends, we would ask if there is another query that is upon your mind at this time. We are those of Q’uo.
Questioner: [inaudible]
Yet what this sparked in her was an awareness that she had not before had. That awareness was how tenuous and vulnerable open communication is to emotions such as hurt feelings and misunderstandings. Her query was to ask us if we could offer some spiritual principles that would enable her to be more skillful in communicating, especially when there were undercurrents and riptides below the surface of communication. We would acknowledge that many times that communication is layered. There is the voice that is speaking the words that are being used, which represents one level of communication which speaks to the logical and rational mind. Yet also, no matter how skillful the words or how well put the sentiments, there are many unspoken layers to communication which do not yield to the logical and rational mind. This is due to the fact that there are emotions and feelings concerning the words that create layers of either helpful awareness or unhelpful resistance to the words that are being spoken.
Carla wanted Q’uo to speak about communication, so Q’uo said recently Carla completed a chapter in a book she is writing about the issues of the blue-ray energy center which is about communication, and she was surprised to find that it was harder for her to write about communication than about any other portion of the energy body, and she decided that it was because she has always been a natural communicator, so she went back to the work upon which she was giving a report—that is, the Confederation material such as that which is being generated at this session of working—and studied the Confederation messages about the blue-ray chakra. Then Q’uo said what this sparked in her was an awareness that she had not before had which was how vulnerable open communication is to emotions such as hurt feelings, so her query was to ask us if we could offer some spiritual principles that would enable her to be more skillful in communicating, especially when there were confusions below the surface of communication, and Q’uo acknowledged that many times that communication is layered so that there is the voice that is speaking the words that are being used, which represents one level of communication which speaks to the logical and rational mind, but no matter how skillful the words there are many unspoken layers to communication which do not yield to the rational mind, and this is due to the fact that there are emotions concerning the words that create layers of either helpful awareness or unhelpful resistance to the words that are being spoken. On April 17, 2005, Q’uo spoke of the value of open communication:
Once you have faced yourself squarely in the mirror of the other, sitting together in the lap of the Creator, surrounded with arms of Love, tickled by the beard of the Almighty, blessed upon the breast of the Mother, loved at last for all that you are, then at last you are free to begin what is sometimes a lengthy process but a joyful one. And that is the moving on from the open heart to the articulated heart. That is what this entity would describe as the energy of the blue ray or the throat chakra. Once you have begun the process of open communication with another, you find that miraculously that which used to divide you now begins to unite you. You find that the truth which seemed before to beat you down and to make you feel less now blesses, and redeems, and heals, and clears the way for you to be.
We could make a couple of suggestions for those times when one is caught upon a moment where one becomes aware that there are unseen elements to the communication, and yet this has confused and muddled the communicative energies that are moving between those two or three that are communicating. Firstly, it is well to remember that you speak with a great deal more than your voice. Each of you has body language which communicates on a level which is below thought. Yet other entities will receive the communication of your body: how you hold it, whether there is tension in it, whether emotions are within you that are causing your facial muscles to change your appearance. It is well to acknowledge those levels of communication and to honor them and if possible to address them within the self.
Secondly, it is helpful to remember that intent is everything, both in the self as it communicates and in the other self as it responds, or in the other self as it communicates and the self as it responds. The same words can be said with various intentions. Therefore we would say, “Look you to your intention!” Is your intention pure? Is it entirely service-to-others oriented? Does it have any aspect of the desire to control or the attachment to an outcome? These are not aids to open communication.
And lastly, we would remind all of those who attempt to communicate that if you hold words in one hand and love in another, love is heavier. Love is more important. Love is the essence; words are the form. Find the love in your heart, and let your heart fill the form of words with love, affection, compassion and laughter.
Then Q’uo said they could make a couple of suggestions for those times when we are caught upon a moment where we become aware that there are unseen elements to the communication, and this has confused the communicative energies that are moving between those that are communicating, so it is well to remember that we speak with a great deal more than our voice since each of us has body language which communicates on a level which is below thought, yet other entities will receive the communication of our body: how we hold it and whether emotions are within us that are causing our facial muscles to change our appearance, and it is well to honor those levels of communication and to address them within the self. Now Q’uo said it is helpful to remember that intent is everything, both in the self as it communicates and in the other self as it responds, or in the other self as it communicates and the self as it responds, so the same words can be said with various intentions, and Q’uo said: “Look you to your intention!” Is your intention pure? Is it entirely service-to-others oriented? Does it have any aspect of the desire to control or the attachment to an outcome?” Q’uo said these are not aids to open communication. Q’uo completed their reply by saying they would remind all of those who attempt to communicate that if we hold words in one hand and love in another, love is heavier and more important because it is the essence, and words are the form, so find love in our heart, and let our heart fill the form of words with love and laughter. On November 13, 2010, Q’uo spoke of how love is the essence of our being:
Each time your heart beats and sends the blood through your veins, it beats in Love. Love is the essence of your being at all levels. Love is the health of your body, the strength of your spirit, the deepener of your emotions. Seek to love, and remember to allow yourself to be loved in return. No push, no pull, but a resting, a contemplation of beauty, and a devotion; a thirst, and hunger for the Creator’s presence in your life and, my brother, you will make that habit, and you will feel comfortable inside your skin at last. Ask for help. You know we are there, and you know many others are as well.
As we have exhausted the questions within the group at this time, we would thank each once again for the privilege and pleasure of your company. Your mingled auras create a beautiful space along with all those positive energies within your universe which have been called to be a portion of this sacred space. We thank you so much for being asked to be a part of this moment. We thank you for seeking and we thank you for being you, for you are truly beautiful. We leave you in the love and 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 at Thieneman’s Nursery where I bought another 64 Sun Patiens. My next stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market where I bought some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up a prescription.
This afternoon I went outside and planted the 64 Sunpatiens in the pool portion of the Flower Fall Mound. This completed the planting of this garden, so then I watered the flowers with water that contained fertilizer. Then I sprayed the flowers with deer repellent.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

The Inward House Of Prayer
I am of the principle of the Love of Jesus the Christ, and I greet you in the full consciousness of that living Love.
If you seek to do the Father’s will this day, be not satisfied with actions which leave a residue within the mind and spirit of anxiety, restlessness and fatigue. For if these things are felt, then mundane concerns have not been sacrificed in order that the spirit may be dead to Earth and made alive to the moving will of the Creator.
If goodly and Godly effort has fatigued you, turn to the inward house of prayer and offer up the self with all of the opinions and requirements of the world in which you live.
And await the refreshment that the Spirit gives to those who pray. For it is the soul refreshed in Spirit which faces all earthly tasks without a sense of labor and all mundane toils without the expectation of fatigue.
Be only satisfied in prayer when the state of mind that is within you is that the world is alive and filled with joy, as the Spirit moves and recreates all that there is to become more and more the image and manifestation of Love.
We leave you in the inward peace which is the hallmark of the consciousness of Love amidst any circumstance. 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.
