I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Q’uo quote today comes from January 12, 2008:
Our question this evening, Q’uo, has to do with the concept of transformation. On our individual journeys of seeking, each of us goes through various experiences. And we observe these experiences. And I am guessing that when we observe them with the most accuracy, we don’t have judgment for them. We just go through them and let them experience themselves through our lives, and in some way or another, cumulatively or individually or at some point, transformations occur. And we would like you to speak to this concept of transformation. How do we come about it? Is there a time within our seeking that is most right for it? Is there a way that we can aid it most effectively? Talk to us about transformation.
(Carla channeling)
We are those known to you as the principle of Q’uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, in whose service we come to you this day. We thank you, my friends, for asking us to join your circle of seeking at this session of working. It is our honor and our privilege to join you. We are most appreciative of the opportunity to attempt to be of service to the one Creator by sharing our humble thoughts with you on the subject of transformation. As always, we would ask that each of you employs his powers of discrimination as each listens to that which we have to say or reads those words which we share at this time. Follow the resonance in those thoughts that appeal to you and seem full of life to you. If those things which we have to say do not happen to have any resonance, then we would ask for you to leave them aside and continue seeking until you find that which resonates to you, for your powers of discrimination are quite adequate to allow you to sense the rightness of those things which you need to take in to your process at this time. This applies not only to our words, but to all of those things which you hear or read. Let your natural ability to discriminate between that which is for you and that which is not for you function in the way that it should and follow the law of attraction. We thank you for this consideration. It will allow us to speak our thoughts freely without being concerned that we may infringe upon your free will or disturb the rhythmic flow of your process.
Transformation is a somewhat overused term among those who seek in the ways of spirit. Both your established religions and your alternative spiritual practices tend to speak of transformation, until it has almost become diminished, as a word, from having been overused. In its roots, my friends, it means to change form, to cross over from one form to another. In a different word with the same root, transformation often follows an intake of information to form new mental and emotional formations, thus precipitating the deeper self into the need to accommodate new information. By information we do not simply mean that which is taken in through the process of reading books, attending seminars, or listening to inspired speakers. We speak of the whole intake process of a working, conscious, awakened spirit in incarnation on Planet Earth. There is a tremendous amount of information which flows into the five senses and moves through the awareness and the thought processes of each entity, all things being grist for the mill. So, transformation is a move from one stage or phase of life to another. It almost has the connotation or the inference of being that of a shape shifter, where you actually change your spiritual or metaphysical shape.
And when, in the natural course of time, you spring forth from your cocoon you are indeed a new creature, looking at life from a slightly different vantage point: higher, broader. Little do you know that you also have become beautiful and are flying from person to person and thought to thought with life-giving pollen within your touch. You do not even know you are transmitting it, for the pollen of the awakened spirit is that of being rather than doing, and there is little of intellectual nature in how an entity becomes able to be of service to others by the very radiance of his being. However, that model of transformation suggests that first you were unawakened and couldn’t fly, and now you are awakened, and you can fly. First you were a slug, and now you are beautiful. And such butterfly thoughts will actually get you nowhere.
The group question was: “And we would like you to speak to this concept of transformation. How do we come about it? Is there a time within our seeking that is most right for it? Is there a way that we can aid it most effectively? Talk to us about transformation.” Q’uo began by saying transformation is an overused term among those of us who seek in the ways of spirit because both our established religions and our alternative spiritual practices speak of transformation until it has become diminished from having been overused, and in its roots it means to change form, but in a different word with the same root, transformation follows an intake of information to form new mental and emotional formations, thus precipitating our deeper self into the need to accommodate new information, and by information Q’uo did not mean that which is taken in through the process of our reading books, attending seminars, or listening to inspired speakers, but they spoke of the intake process of a conscious spirit in incarnation on Earth, and there is a tremendous amount of information which flows into the five senses and moves through the awareness and the thought processes of each of us, all things being grist for the mill, so transformation is a move from one phase of life to another, and it has the connotation of being that of a shape shifter, where we change our spiritual metaphysical shape. Q’uo went on to say there are models of transformation which are helpful in thinking about times of change within ourself as we undergo realizations of information which have precipitated change, and one model is the butterfly, for there is some advantage to thinking of transformation using this model because the unawakened pupae and larvae go about their routines, eating and becoming ready to enter into a phase of development that is transformative in a way that changes the form of life from that which crawls to that which flies, so we may see that time of transformation caused by our going into the cocoon of dealing with new thoughts and letting those thoughts marinate within our consciousness, and the concepts which we have taken in can come from many sources with some being those of our intellectual activities such as reading and discussing inspired thoughts or thoughts that we hope will be inspired, so we are also are processing the cumulative cycles of our feelings, and we are dealing with the challenges that we are experiencing in the various chakras, especially our first three chakras, in terms of those stages leading up to transformation. Q’uo continued by saying when we spring forth from our cocoon we are a new creature, looking at life from a higher and broader vantage point, but little do we know that we also have become beautiful and are flying from person to person and thought to thought with life-giving pollen within our touch, but we do not know we are transmitting it, for the pollen of the awakened spirit is that of being rather than doing, and there is little of intellectual nature in how we become able to be of service to others by the radiance of our being, but that model of transformation suggests that first we were unawakened and couldn’t fly, and now we are awakened, and we can fly, but such butterfly thoughts will get us nowhere. On February 2, 1997, Q’uo spoke of the nature of the awakened spirit:
It is well to move back always to one’s basis for being, to be sure the feet are standing upon solid metaphysical ground. Starting with unconditional Love is always correct and accurate as a mental or logical beginning. Now, as sparks of that original Love, each of you has, through many incarnations, distorted in various ways this original vibration. And each of you basically yearns to more and more closely approach the original vibration which is unconditional Love. So, in that sense each of you is seeking to become the Creator, seeking to be lost completely in unconditional Love. This thirst and hunger that you have to be closer to the source and the ending of all things is that thirst and hunger that the awakened spirit feels.
Once you have awakened to your spiritual identity, you cannot go back to sleep. You have to see your life and your priorities from that point on in a way which deals with the fact that you are now on a journey whose end you do not know, whose next steps you may not know. And you are on this journey with nothing more than your hopes and dreams and some companions along the way.
For transformation is a cycle. It is an inevitable cycle. You will transform. You shall become a new creature. The only question is whether or not you wish to accelerate the process of your own spiritual evolution. Those who are listening to these words and those who read them are those who wish to become more than they have been. That wish, in and of itself, will hasten the rate of speed of change in your life. For by wishing to be transformed and by being willing to be transformed, you make the space for being transformed. Consequently, we would perhaps rather use the transformational model of the also much clichéd chambered nautilus, which outgrows his house and therefore enlarges his house, without ever leaving his house. Just in such a way do you enlarge your point of view as you move through these cocoon-like periods and emerge from them with the sense of having a new perspective which has created for you the self-perceived feeling of being a new creature. You continue to expand your awareness in a cyclical manner until such time as you pass from this environment through the gates of larger life, where you shall not lose a beat in continuing your spiritual evolution.
Therhythm of transformation is linked to several things, and we shall look at various of them. Firstly there is the, shall we say, outer or non-chosen portion of transformation which has to do with your life-cycles. There is a natural tendency for each cell in your body to be born, mature, and pass. And there is a natural time for each part of the experience of your incarnation to flourish and then to make way for a different experience, based simply upon the accumulation of time and experience in your incarnation. You have little control over this particular part of the cycle of transformation. It is part of your body, part of your mind, part of your emotions, part of the natural phases of life. There is the part of transformation which is involved in very deep and subtle energies, such as the stars in your sky, the sun especially, and the moon. The monthly, annual and slowly revolving astrological patterns of your life will have some sway over the rhythm of your cyclical transformations.
And certainly the times that now are upon you, where the fourth density is virtually present, interpenetrating third density, has set you awash in energy tide after energy tide, so that you are constantly being washed with rhythmic waves of truth, love and understanding. This has the effect upon anyone who is at all sensitive to these energies of creating a more lucid ability to look at the mirroring that is going on in your particular life at this time. Each relationship which you have gives you a mirror for yourself. Just as in your dreams, each character represents a portion of yourself. So, in the waking life each interaction with another entity shows you the mirror of yourself, in part, in the actions and behaviors, the thoughts and the concepts offered by that interaction. Consequently, you are constantly seeing portions of yourself mirrored in a somewhat distorted way by those who are in relationship with you.
Then Q’uo said transformation is an inevitable cycle, and we shall become a new creature, so the only question is whether or not we wish to accelerate the process of our spiritual evolution, and those of us who are listening to these words, and those who read them, are those who wish to become more than they have been since that wish will hasten the rate of speed of change in our life, for by wishing to be transformed and by being willing to be transformed, we make the space for being transformed, so Q’uo said they would rather use the transformational model of the chambered nautilus, which outgrows his house and therefore enlarges his house, without ever leaving his house, and in such a way do we enlarge our point of view as we move through these cocoon-like periods and emerge from them with the sense of having a new perspective which has created for us the self-perceived feeling of being a new creature, and we continue to expand our awareness in a cyclical manner until such time as we pass from this environment through the gates of larger life, where we shall not lose a beat in continuing our spiritual evolution. Now Q’uo said the rhythm of transformation is linked to several things, and they will look at some of them, so firstly there is the outer transformation which has to do with our life-cycles, and there is a natural tendency for each cell in our body to be born, mature, and pass, and there is a natural time for each part of the experience of our incarnation to flourish and then to make way for a different experience, based upon the accumulation of time and experience in our incarnation, but we have little control over this part of the cycle of transformation because it is part of our body, our mind, our emotions, and part of the natural phases of life, so there is the part of transformation which is involved in deep and subtle energies, such as the stars in our sky, the sun, and the moon, and the monthly astrological patterns of our life will have some sway over the rhythm of our cyclical transformations. Q’uo went on to say the times that now are upon us, where the fourth density is interpenetrating third density, has set us awash in energy tide after energy tide, so that we are constantly being washed with rhythmic waves of truth, love, and understanding, and this has the effect upon anyone who is sensitive to these energies of creating a more lucid ability to look at the mirroring that is going on in our life at this time, so each relationship gives us a mirror for ourself, and just as in our dreams, each character represents a portion of ourself, so in the waking life each interaction with another entity shows us the mirror of ourself in the actions and the thoughts offered by that interaction, so we are seeing portions of ourself mirrored in a distorted way by those who are in relationship with us. On July 21, 1985, Latwii spoke of the mirroring effect:
You will feel in one manner or another about yourself or some portion of yourself, according to the desire you have to learn in that area and your own conscious or subconscious assessment of your success, in so learning. This process of learning and judging the self is one which is always ongoing, yet is usually not as conscious in the earlier portions of one’s incarnation as it is in the latter portions. Therefore, as you become more and more aware of your own self and come to know that self, a portion of this awareness is gained by seeing your feelings for yourself reflected by others to you as your feelings for others. Thus, the mirroring effect of other selves shows you your attitude towards a portion of your own being. As you become more and more aware that this is the case, the process then is accelerated.
Allof these changes and chances, all of these natural cycles, create a basic default. The human was created to transform. That is the nature of the self-conscious, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being that you are. That is your potential, and that is your destiny: change from one form into another, from one kind of thought into another whole paradigm of thought. You cannot help but progress. So, you may feel easy about whether or not you are changing, whether or not you are being successful at transforming. It is inevitable for you to go through transformation upon transformation and you do not have to push or thrust yourself towards transformation. You may relax in the knowledge that it is inevitable. Then there is the part of the transformational experience which has completely to do with your will, your hunger, and your thirst for understanding and truth. The more passionate that you are about seeking the truth, the more you are able, as a metaphysical entity working in time/space, to have an effect upon the pace of your transformative rhythm. It is entirely possible for an entity who is awake and conscious and aware of the process of change to accelerate the pace of that change by quite a bit.
The fundamental transformation of a human being within incarnation is from that spiritual childhood of feeling that one is tossed about by outside forces and dependent upon luck and chance for the road one is on and the road one may choose to be on, to a more mature spiritual awareness in which the entity has taken responsibility for the occurrences and events of everyday life, realizing that in those very events lies all the grist needed for the mill of transformation. Consequently, if a seeker wishes to maximize the opportunity for accelerating the rate of spiritual evolution within this refinery of souls which is third density, the seeker may decide to begin to hone and focus his efforts by the focusing and whetting of his appetite for the truth. The most effective tool in working towards transformation is the self-conscious living of the life. We are not talking about those who mull endlessly over every detail of their life and thought throughout each day, but rather we are talking about the most effective way to work towards transformation. The most effective resource is one’s own ability to observe oneself without affecting that which is being observed.
Now Q’uo said all of these changes of the natural cycles create a default, and the human was created to transform because that is the nature of the self-conscious, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being that we are, and that is our destiny: to change from one form into another, from one kind of thought into another paradigm of thought, so we cannot help but progress, and we may feel easy about whether or not we are being successful at transforming, so it is inevitable for us to go through transformations, and we do not have to push ourself towards transformation, so we may relax in the knowledge that it is inevitable since there is a part of the transformational experience which has to do with our will and our hunger for understanding and truth, and the more passionate that we are about seeking the truth, the more we are able, as a metaphysical entity working in time/space, to have an effect upon the pace of our transformative rhythm, so it is possible for an entity who is awake and aware of the process of change to accelerate the pace of that change. Then Q’uo said that the fundamental transformation of a human being within incarnation is from the spiritual childhood of feeling that we are tossed about by outside forces and depend upon luck for the road we are on and the road we may choose to be on, to a more mature spiritual awareness in which we have taken responsibility for the events of everyday life, realizing that in those events lies all the grist needed for the mill of transformation, so if we wish to maximize our opportunity for accelerating our rate of spiritual evolution within this refinery of souls which is third density, we may decide to begin to focus our efforts by whetting our appetite for the truth, and the most effective tool in working towards transformation is our self-conscious living of our life, but Q’uo was not talking about our mulling endlessly over every detail of our life and thought throughout each day, but rather they are talking about the most effective way to work towards transformation, and the most effective resource is our ability to observe ourself without affecting that which is being observed. On September 13, 1981, Hatonn spoke of a way that we can enhance our spiritual evolution:
May we only suggest that in any seeking which you may undertake, if you should wish to evaluate its effectiveness as regards your own spiritual evolution, you may simply ask yourself the question, “How may I serve others through this activity?” If you can find ways to share the Love of the Creator with those brothers and sisters who are one with you upon this planet, then you have done that which is of great value, and you have accomplished a feat that few upon your planet can name as their own.
The one known as Jim spoke of being aware that in transformation it was important not to judge. And this is the kind of objectivity about which we are speaking. It is indeed important, indeed central, to refrain from judgment as one goes through the collecting of information about the self that is necessary in order for the self to be offered up and thus become empty enough to have the space in which to transform. It is ironic, is it not, that in the search for truth the answers lie not in discovering that which can be known, but in discovering that the secrets to the mystery of transformation lie in unknowing and faith. Faith is the most powerful force in the universe, it being another name for realized or positively realized Love. You live in a universe made of Love. The original Thought was a Thought of unconditional Love.
As you transform, the core of your transformation is an awareness that has not been there before about the nature of your central or deepest self as being part of Love itself or the creative principle, which is the one great original Thought of unconditional Love. As you become full of new information that brings you to a place of transformation, you suddenly discover that you are no longer full. You discover that this very fullness and sense of new life tips you into the corresponding and balancing awareness of oneself as knowing nothing. It is a devastating portion of transformation, this realization that nothing is known and that nothing can be known within the illusions of the Earth world.
Yet as one moves through that which has been called the Purgative Way, one becomes aware that one is utterly empty. And there is a kind of purity in that emptiness that is powerful. You become the Holy Grail which you seek because you are that cup which is now empty or that hand outstretched which has nothing in it, ready to receive that which is new, that which comes from the great original Thought to transform you as a creature so that you have become that which is new. Then that cycle begins again, where you start from a new place in the spiral of evolution. It is if it were, in a flattened spiral, the same place you have been before in this incarnation. Yet, because it is an upward spiral, you are always moving to that place you were before with a new mind, so that you meet that repeating theme or those repeating themes of your incarnation from a new place of observation and experience.
Q’uo continued by saying Jim spoke of being aware that in transformation it was important not to judge, and this is the kind of objectivity about which Q’uo was speaking because it is central to refrain from judgment as we go through collecting information about ourself that is necessary in order for us to be offered up and become empty enough to have the space in which to transform, but it is ironic that in the search for truth the answers lie, not in discovering that which can be known, but in discovering that the secrets to the mystery of transformation lie in unknowing and faith because faith is the most powerful force in the universe, and it is another name for Love, and we live in a universe made of the original Thought of unconditional Love. Q’uo went on to say as we transform, the core of our transformation is an awareness that has not been there before about the nature of our deepest self as being part of Love, or the creative principle, which is the one great original Thought of unconditional Love, and as we become full of new information that brings us to a place of transformation, we discover that we are no longer full, and we discover that this very fullness and sense of new life tips us into the balancing awareness of ourself as knowing nothing, so it is a devastating portion of transformation, this realization that nothing is known, and that nothing can be known within the illusions of the Earth.

On June 3, 1990, Q’uo spoke of how we can discover a new mind:
Thus, each of you fails and has the subjective self-criticism which can be the cruelest and harshest criticism leveled by any, harsher than any other would give to you. Yet, at the same time there is the undeniable awareness of the absolute possibility of beginning anew with a new mind, a new heart, and a clean and unblemished conscience. Each of you has done the work necessary to learn this basic archetype, this basic part of the architecture of the self, and in many cases it is a part of why many do not feel it appropriate to seek forgiveness from an outer source when the Creator has placed within the self, in a sanctified and permanent structure, the very heart of self-forgiveness which must always precede new beginnings.
There are themes to most entities’ incarnations, recurring leitmotifs of the music of your life. For this instrument, for instance, the theme is the study of how to offer love without the expectation of return. It is a powerful lesson in that one learns again and again that one’s life is not the life of one who reacts, but one who offers from the creative or generative heart that which is given without any expectation of anything in return. Once one has begun to learn this lesson, one can begin to see how transformed one’s life is by the ability to live as a part of the Godhead principle; as one who is willing to let Love flow through him. It is one of several very common themes for those who have come to this planet in order to be subject to the athanor of experience. Each experience which one has becomes a source of possible catalyst. And as one pays more and more attention to one’s catalyst, one becomes more and more able to recognize these recurring themes of incarnational-level lessons that are part of each entity’s life in a unique way.
No two entities have the same exact incarnational lessons, for each has chosen those lessons carefully. Consequently, each person, as he transforms and becomes a new person, is offering an energy that has never been offered before in the infinite annals of the creation, for each transformation is from one unique being to another equally unique being. We thank each for the power and the beauty of the energies which are being run during transformation. The courage of each in being able to go through these dark nights of the soul and to see the magical nature of the self is greatly appreciated by those of us who do not dwell within the veil of unknowing, but have access to the truth in a much less veiled way.
It may help those seeking to maximize their ability to be transformed and transformational beings to look at the essence of the shaman’s experience. The shaman, whatever his nationality or culture, is basically that entity who chooses to go through the death experience while remaining alive. Those of Ra spoke of the shamans of the time of Egypt, who used the pyramid to go down under the pyramid into that catafalque-like place where sensations were numbed and an entity was closed up from all incoming experience, thus mimicking the death process. After days spent within that tomblike place under the pyramid, the experience of death had been well met and the entity was then able to observe life with a delight and an appetite that would not have been available to the one who had not experienced that death of the senses, the death of sensation, the death of stimulation, shall we say.
Q’uo went on to say there are recurring leitmotifs of the music of our life, and for Carla the theme is the study of how to offer love without expectation of return, and it is a powerful lesson in that we learn again and again that our life is not the life of one who reacts, but one who offers from the creative heart that which is given without any expectation of return, and once we have begun to learn this lesson, we can begin to see how transformed our life is by our ability to live as a part of the Godhead principle, as one who is willing to let Love flow through us, so it is one of several common themes for those who have come to this planet in order to be subject to the athanor of experience because each experience which we have becomes a source of catalyst, and as we pay more attention to our catalyst, we become more able to recognize these recurring themes of incarnational-level lessons that are part of each entity’s life in a unique way. Then Q’uo said no two entities have the same incarnational lessons, for each has chosen those lessons carefully, and as we transform and become a new person we are offering an energy that has never been offered before in the infinite creation, for each transformation is from one unique being to another equally unique being, and Q’uo thanked each of us for the power and the beauty of the energies which are being run during transformation, and the courage of each of us in being able to go through these dark nights of the soul and to see the magical nature of ourself is greatly appreciated by those who do not dwell within the veil of unknowing, but have access to the truth in a much less veiled way. Q’uo went on to say it may help us to maximize our ability to be transformed to look at the essence of the shaman’s experience because the shaman is that entity who chooses to go through the death experience while remaining alive, and Ra spoke of the shamans of the time of Egypt, who used the pyramid to go down under the pyramid into the resonating chamber: ”where sensations were numbed, and an entity was closed up from all incoming experience, thus mimicking the death process, and after days spent within that tomblike place under the pyramid, the experience of death had been well met, and the entity was then able to observe life with a delight and an appetite that would not have been available to the one who had not experienced that death of the senses, the death of sensation, the death of stimulation, shall we say.” On November 24, 2007, Q’uo spoke of another type of the experience of death that could create an enhanced vision of life:
The closest analog to the shaman’s experience of death which the place below the pyramid offered are the American Indian rituals of the sweat lodge and the vision quest. In the sweat lodge the heat takes one beyond the bounds of human awareness. It feels very much like a death or as if one were close to death and this is often a trigger for new awareness and the epiphany of the moment that has been sought.
The great vigor available to the shaman comes from that entirely organic and spontaneous delight which one who has been dead takes in life, after experiencing the deprivation of the dark night of the soul. Whether by the vision quest or by the steam and the heat of a sweat lodge, or by any of those transformative experiences that can be found throughout the various cultures of your planet, there is the completely novel experience of new life, new growth, new hope, and new beingness. With each transformation there is more of an appreciation for the gift of awareness and an ever more transparent ability to allow things to move through one. One becomes a radiant being, not because one has more light within the self, but because one is more able to allow light to move through the energy body and out into the world. It is not that one becomes a more powerful ego, but that one has allowed to drop away from the self many things which were either blocking or dimming the Light which moves through each entity within creation.
As entities become more spiritually mature, they become more and more aware that they do not know anything. They become more and more aware that they are living in the now, and that this now is a beautiful, magical, wonderful moment, wherein two worlds meet, the world of phenomenal experience and the world of infinity and eternity. They become aware of themselves as a place where these two worlds may express at the same time. They are embodied spirits and may feel both the day and the night, the heat and the cold and all of the dynamics of opposites that create the world of male and female, the Earth world. At the same time they are able to feel the energies of infinity and eternity move through them and create that consciousness which only time/space and timelessness can offer.
Gradually an entity becomes aware of himself as one who plays in the waters of time, much as an otter plays in the pool, leaping and jumping for the very joy of movement, rejoicing and enjoying water and the sunshine and all that occurs in the rhythmic cycles of play. It is not that one takes oneself less seriously in terms of being willing to spend the life dedicating the self to the infinite Creator and to service to others, but rather it is that the burden of being a serious seeker falls away before the very organic and natural, lighthearted, and merry vision of oneself and awareness of oneself as a creature of the one infinite Creator, not striving, but being. The feeling becomes almost one of curiosity. “Ah, I am in this present moment. Creator, where shall you toss me now? What is your will for me this day?”
Q’uo said the great energy available to the shaman comes from that spontaneous delight which one who has been dead takes in life, after experiencing the deprivation of the dark night of the soul, and whether by the vision quest, or the heat of a sweat lodge, or by any transformative experience that can be found throughout the cultures of our planet, there is the novel experience of new life and new hope, so with each transformation there is more appreciation for the gift of awareness and more ability to allow things to move through us, and we become a radiant being, not because we have more Light within ourself, but because we are able to allow Light to move through our energy body and out into the world, but it is not that we have a more powerful ego, but that we have allowed to drop away from ourself many things which were dimming the Light which moves through each entity within creation. Then Q’uo said as we become more spiritually mature, we become more aware that we do not know anything, and we become more aware that we are living in the now, and that this now is a magical moment where the world of phenomenal experience and the world of infinity meet, and we become aware of ourselves as a place where these two worlds may express at the same time because they are embodied spirits and may feel both the day and the night, the heat and the cold and all of the dynamics of opposites that create the world of male and female, the Earth world, and at the same time we are able to feel the energies of infinity move through us and create that consciousness which only time/space can offer. Q’uo completed their reply by saying gradually we become aware of ourself as one who plays in the waters of time jumping for the joy of movement, water, and the sunshine and all that occurs in the rhythmic cycles of play, but it is not that we take ourself less seriously in terms of being willing to spend our life dedicated to the infinite Creator and to service to others, but it is that the burden of being a serious seeker falls away before the organic and lighthearted vision of ourself as a creature of the one infinite Creator, not striving, but being, so the feeling becomes one of curiosity: “Ah, I am in this present moment. Creator, where shall you toss me now? What is your will for me this day?” On April 11, 2009, Q’uo said that the feminine principle has the energies of infinity within it:
The feminine principle, on the other hand, dwells in a state of rest, aware in a direct way of the energies of infinity and eternity. The moon sings through the blood of the woman. The cycle of the seasons echo in her and to the biological feminine is given intimate awareness of the ocean of life as she conceives and carries new life within her.
We would at this time pause to ask the group if there are follow-ups to this central question before we take other questions from you. We are known to you as Hatonn and we now pause.
A: I have a follow-up question. Is Don Juan Matus, the teacher of writer, Carlos Castaneda, real? Can you talk about him as an entity and a shaman?
We are those of Q’uo, and are of aware of your query, my brother. Because this question is part of your active process at this time, we find that we would be influencing you unduly were we to comment directly. We can, however, offer some thoughts connected with this query having to do with spiritual principles, if that would be acceptable to you, my brother.
A: Yes, gladly.
We are those of Q’uo, and therefore are able to proceed in some way. We apologize that our desire to maintain our polarity causes us to refrain from more specific information.
One spiritual principle involved within your query which may be helpful to you is that of truth being untouched by its vehicle. That is, the question of whether one such as Don Juan Matus or Jesus the Christ or Zarathustra was real is irrelevant to spiritual seekers. Each thought that has been thought by any entity in creation has a reality. It has a vibrational nature. Depending upon the intensity of that thought, its life may be tenuous or powerful. And if a group of entities are working with the construct of a Don Juan Matus or a Jesus the Christ or a Zarathustra, then the thought forms connected with this entity build up and have a life of their own, with their vibrational characteristics depending upon the strength of those who come to form themselves by thinking along the lines suggested by one of these great teachers.
Another spiritual principle that is sometimes helpful when gazing at the writings of those inspired entities which have written is polarity.

(Carla channeling)
When an entity who is teaching is purely positive in polarity, there is within the teaching a flow of wisdom and compassion which does not have to do in any way with control over others. The magical systems of many of your cultures, including the so-called sects of the Christian religion, sometimes contain mixed polarity in that there is the attempt, either by the leader of a sect or a type of thought or by the organization that rises up around a leader or a professor of a certain system of thought, which is hopeful of controlling and manipulating entities or situations.
The positive polarity has no axe to grind, but exists in an energy of faith, love, gratitude, and joy. Often wonderful teachings that are very positive in polarity are intermixed with teachings that have strongly moved into the energies of yellow ray, where there is the ability to work in groups. And instead of sinking into the group and allowing the group to express its worship and its practices on a spontaneous and radiant basis, there is the negative yellow-ray concern for the manipulation and disposition of its members, or of situations having to do with entities with whom it is in relationship.
A: I have a follow-up question. “Is Don Juan Matus, the teacher of writer, Carlos Castaneda, real? Can you talk about him as an entity and a shaman?” Q’uo began by saying one spiritual principle involved within your query which may be helpful to you is that the question of whether one such as Don Juan Matus, or Jesus the Christ, or Zarathustra was real is irrelevant to spiritual seekers since each thought that has been thought by any entity in creation has a vibrational nature, and depending upon the intensity of that thought, its life may be tenuous or powerful, and if a group of entities is working with the construct of a Don Juan Matus, or a Jesus the Christ, or a Zarathustra, then the thought forms connected with this entity build up and have a life of their own depending upon the strength of those who are thinking along the lines suggested by one of these great teachers. Q’uo went on to say another spiritual principle that is sometimes helpful when gazing at the writings of those inspired entities which have written is polarity, and when an entity who is teaching is purely positive in polarity, there is within the teaching a flow of wisdom and compassion which does not have to do with control over others, and the magical systems of many of your cultures sometimes contain mixed polarity in that there is the attempt, either by the leader of a sect, or by the organization that rises up around a leader of a certain system of thought, which is hopeful of controlling entities or situations. Then Q’uo said the positive polarity has no axe to grind, but exists in an energy of faith, love, and joy, and often teachings that are positive in polarity are mixed with teachings that have moved into the energies of yellow ray, where there is the ability to work in groups, and instead of sinking into the group and allowing the group to express its worship on a radiant basis, there is the negative yellow-ray concern for the manipulation of its members, or of situations having to do with entities with whom it is in relationship. On September 22, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the positive nature of the combination of wisdom and compassion that can lead to the positive nature of our services:
Gratitude is indeed a spiritual principle, my brother. The energy of gratitude contains a world of wisdom and compassion. For one is gratified not only because of the good things, so called, not only the sunny days, but the rainy days, the stormy days, the tsunami. All weathers whatsoever, all, are occasions for gratitude. Therefore, this practice is of a very high order of excellence and we commend you, my brother, for working with this principle in humility and in joy.
There is simplicity to the spiritual walk that baffles the intellectual mind. All that occurs is that which comes before the self in order that the self may practice responding with vibrations as close as humanly possible to the vibration of the one infinite Creator, which is unconditional Love. Consequently, the response of one that is vibrating at his highest and best shall always be love.
There are always pearls that are just for you, but there is almost always surrounding material that acts more as fertilizer than as jewel. So there is that process, when working with inspired material, of slowing that self down who is so eager for the fruits of this system to the pace that enables the seeker truly and genuinely to absorb material in a way that does not rush the fences of intellect and toss one into a situation where one is simply beginning to repeat by rote various things that a particular entity has suggested to be true.
Then Q’uo said we encourage A and all of those who read concerning helpful ideas such as the one known as Don Juan Matus offers in his system of teaching to maintain thoughtful discrimination so that you slow down the process of absorption of new material to the pace where you can absorb it in a comfortable manner because there is a tendency towards impulsivity when one is surrounding oneself with the thoughts of a new source of inspiration, and this impulsivity does not serve the seeker as well as the attitude of being one who reflects and then lets go, and then reflects again, and then lets go, so that one deepens one’s intelligence concerning a particular system of thought. Q’uo completed their reply by saying there are pearls that are just for you, but there is always surrounding material that acts more as fertilizer than as jewel, so there is that process, when working with inspired material, of slowing the self down to the pace that enables the seeker to truly absorb material in a way that does not rush the fences of intellect and toss one into a situation where one is simply beginning to repeat by rote various things that a particular entity has suggested to be true. On March 28, 2009, Q’uo spoke of the way that we can work with inspired material:
Thusly, it is aptly said that some works are timeless and in their classic goodness exceed all ages, speaking to those of any age, any century, whose minds are shaped at that moment to perceive and to work with those concepts. It is not something special that those who read the material generated this evening converge upon a place in time/space, for this occurs whenever entities come together with an idea that is greater than themselves and takes them out of themselves.
In this wise, it might also be noted that those who study a body of inspired material, whether it be the Bible, the Kabbalah, the Koran, the Upanishads, or Lao Tzu’s writings, are entering into the awareness of material of which many others have been aware. Consequently, when one is resting in the contemplation of this inspired material, one is in the company of many, many entities from the inner planes who, when they were incarnate, studied this same material.
May we answer you further, my brother. We are those of Q’uo.
[Pause]
A: If you are asking me if I want more, I’d just as soon hear a question from someone else.
We are those of Q’uo, and therefore would ask if there is another query at this time?
[Pause]
Jim: Not from me, Q’uo.
We are those of Q’uo, and believe that we have exhausted the queries in this circle of seeking at this particular session of working. That leaves us with regret in a way, for we have greatly enjoyed our ability to be a part of your seeking circle and to experience the beauty of your blended auras. Thank you so much for inviting us to share in your meditation. It has been a blessed experience for us and a wonderful opportunity for us to serve the infinite Creator in the type of service that we have chosen. We leave this instrument and this group in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator, encouraging each to seek the Creator in all things and to set the mind upon Love, for that is that which is the truth. We are known to you as those of Q’uo. Adonai. Adonai vasu.
This morning I ran a couple of errands with my first stop at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy some deer repellant and some food for myself.
This afternoon I planted the last of the garden impatiens on the north end of the Wuthering Heights Mound. And it looks like I will need another 16 to complete that area. Then I planted a flat of dianthus in the end of the small garden along the parking area in front of the Wuthering Heights Mound. And it looks like I will need another two flats to complete that area. Then I watered all the flowers with fertilizer in it and finished the work by spraying the flowers with deer repellant.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

The Holy Vibration
I am the Spirit of the full consciousness of ove. I greet you in the name of Jesus the Christ.
For the spiritually oriented seeker, names are very important. For the breath that is the Spirit of Love molds itself into vibrations which have a profound effect upon the creature which, though physical, has resonances with the metaphysical self in its analog.
That is to say that the name of the Lord of your life has the vibration of strength for you. Thus, the name of Jesus, though not the earthly name, Jehoshua, nevertheless bears the strongest vibratory significance to the instinctual, creaturely self which resonates with the analogous spiritual body which is the spiritual body incorruptible.
Know that the breath of the Spirit is breathed into you as you think upon holy names and is breathed from you as you consciously vibrate words of Love which are meaningful to those whom you wish to love and serve.
We leave you upon the holy vibration of peace, now and forever. 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.
