I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 103 quote comes from the Introduction and the section on valuing others and living The Choice in working with others:
Valuing others (living The Choice in working with others)
Living The Choice in working with others is another way of saying that we will constantly be making this Choice for the rest of our lives. Every time that we interact with others we will, in some degree, be making The Choice again and again in how we relate to others with a kind thought, word, or deed that registers in our minds, our emotions, and our actions as we travel the path of service to others. Here is a detailed overview of this choice:
Your illusion has everything to do with learning not only who and what and why you are as you are but also in learning how to interact with those about you. Upon graduation from this density the next series of lessons starts with learning to be a complex of entities which have all memories in common. In the next density this veil of mystery and forgetting which you now experience is gradually lifted, and, once again, you know that you are all One.
Only in third density is the unity hidden. This is in order that each may make an all-important choice of how to proceed with the evolution of the spirit, for there are two paths to the one infinite Creator in general. One path is radiant, giving, loving and unifying, and is called service-to-others path or the positive path of seeking. The other path to the one infinite Creator is magnetic, attractive, charismatic, and may be called the path of service to self or the negative path. Each of these two paths is a valid path to follow and will bring the seeker to the growing awareness of the nature of the mystery of Creator and self. We are those of the positive path, as we find it to be the more efficient path, and in our opinion the more agreeable one to follow.
Therefore, as you approach the choice of which path to follow, nothing can be known for sure, for it is all important that this choice be made in faith and not because of any proof or fact, for only in faith, only in the mid-air of that leap of faith is the choice truly made to love. Once the pilgrim’s soul has made the choice to learn to love by attempting the positive path of service to others then there shall be the unfolding of the destiny which you co-created. This does not mean that free will is abridged thereby; it is as though you have furnished yourself with a place to begin a journey and a place where that journey ends. Q’uo, December 13, 1992.
Our service to others may be great or small or anywhere in between. The size of the service does not matter. What matters is the desire to be of service and how much we want to serve the One who is in all people that we will ever meet. I think that is why the balancing exercises that Ra gave us are so important. Our interactions with others produce the great variety of catalyst that we can process in the balancing exercises that will allow us to see and accept others as we are able to accept ourselves. In 5.2, Ra shared the basics of the use of catalyst with others that leads to acceptance of ourselves and of others:
To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.
The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smoothes part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.
The third discipline of the mind is a repetition of the first but with the gaze outward towards the fellow entities that it meets. In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understanding, patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience. We use this as a simple example. Most configurations of mind have many facets, and understanding of either self polarities, or what you would call other-self polarities, can and must be understood as subtle work.
The next step is the acceptance of the other-self polarities, which mirrors the second step.
When we can use this interactive catalyst on a life-long basis we eventually see and accept that we and all other people are 360-degree beings, the one infinite Creator.
This morning I ran some errands to stock up on supplies that would not be as easy to get towards the end of the week when the forecast is for temperatures in the single digits with strong wind and heavy snow. My first stop was at Feeder’s Supply where I bought cat food and bird seed. Then I stopped at Paul’s Fruit Market to get some food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I bought a couple more food items.
Today I also began work on a book shelf located in the hallway outside of my bedroom and under an existing bookshelf containing L/L Research books. This new bookshelf will contain eight boxes of books donated to L/L Research by Hal Price, the fellow who got Don started in the channeling of ET messages back in 1961 when he gave Don the Brown Notebook, a compilation of ET messages channeled in Detroit, Michigan by Walt Rogers and his meditation group.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 20
Hollow A Place For Love
We are those of the full principle of the love of Jesus the Christ and we greet you in that divine consciousness.
This instrument, like so many, has over-concern for the events of the day, not seeing the magic, the ambience and the comfort of every passing moment. For did not the spirit of love come into the things unseen, unformed and unknown, to create patterns of love and power and wisdom, not by moving to those who are over-concerned but by flowing through channels which love has been allowed to hollow within the breast of humankind?
Thus we ask you to be unconcerned on a deep level, regardless of the busyness and the difficulty of the day ahead. Rest, rather, in the extraordinary comfort offered by universal, all-powerful and all-present love. Rest. Be comforted. And know that if you but hollow out the space and time within you, love shall do its perfect work through you, not as you imagine it should be done in every case, but as love itself requires.
We leave you in the peace of the knowledge of divine love. It is a peace which, though unpredictable in its mechanisms, is infinitely predictable in the standard of love which it bears proudly. May peace and love ride into your life and fill that hollow place where trouble dwelt, now and always. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
