I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The 103 quote today comes from the Introduction and the section on journaling:
Journaling
The process of keeping a journal of these dreams was to begin to get more conscious knowledge of how and when and by whom we had been programmed in behaviors that kept our brain’s energy stuck in the neocortex and out of the frontal lobes. Each of these energy blocking programs created the equivalent of an open neuronal circuit that drained away our life energies that were attempting to get into the frontal lobes and activate our third eye. Q’uo had some helpful advice regarding using journaling in working with dreams:
In terms of the mechanics of working with dreams, we would encourage the habit of keeping a small flashlight of some kind, a pad of paper, and a writing instrument at hand before going to bed. If one does awaken during the night with the memory of a dream, one is able, without waking oneself up totally, to turn on this small and non-intrusive light that gives one the opportunity to write down one’s memories.
It is not necessary at the time of writing those memories down to work with them. It is enough simply to record the thoughts and then to turn off the flashlight, put down the paper and pen, and go back to sleep. It is, however, helpful at some point during the next waking period to go back over these hastily jotted notes, perhaps typing them into a more lasting record and journaling about them in any way that you find yourself wishing to do.
It is perfectly acceptable to use the rational, intellectual mind with its analytical capabilities. It is equally acceptable, and to be encouraged, to help the mind to run off of the logical tracks on which it so often stays due to old habit, and to invite the quirky combinations of thoughts and the insights that come at one from sideways when one allows what this instrument calls the “mind sagging in the middle,” so that points that seemingly are far distant from each other are suddenly brought close and new connections are made. We speak specifically of that seeming dichotomy between the so-called left brain and right brain. Q’uo, September 4, 2005.
Once we felt we understood what the program was, when it occurred, and who the adult was that instigated it, then the final step in this self-therapy course was called a neuro drama because it dealt with closing the neuronal circuit into the frontal lobes and letting our brain bomb explode into ecstacy.
This morning I called AT & T to see why the technician didn’t show up yesterday to fix the problem with my upgrade wiring that was buried underground last week but was not run into the house as it should have been. Another appointment was set for January 19, and, hopefully, this one will be kept. Then I had brunch at The Waffle House and then continued on to Gary and Trish’s house to take care of their cats while they are visiting family in northern Ohio. I cleaned their litter boxes, gave them fresh water, and gave them more food as well.
This afternoon I took a speed walk and then vacuumed the first floor of the house.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 30
Drop the Rags Of Everyday
I am of the spirit of that principle of love which was in Jesus the Christ. I greet you in that full consciousness of divine love.
How this instrument wrestles with its seeming imperfections! How reluctant is this instrument to bathe in the clean waters of forgiveness and move, then, cleanly and clad in white, into the sanctuary of the Spirit’s meeting with self, body and spirit.
How many words it takes to deny the clear and shining perfection, the result of one moment of dreaming, to the cleansing, the whitening, the purification of the channel which is your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self!
Shall you now let go of woe?
For this instant, see yourself a you are seen by the Christ-light, as a holy, perfect and acceptable infinite portion of an infinite creation that is, nevertheless, all one being.
We say to you in meditation, “Drop the rages of everyday. Dip in the pool of returning. Clad yourselves in robes of sufficiency and perfect love, and then, my children, wait. For that which comes to you may come in an instant, in an hour, or in a lifetime.”
Move yourself to the clean body, the cleanly desire and the focused love of the Creator with child and of child with most beloved parent. These things you do, you do for yourself. Each turn to holiness you do as a celebration of love.
We leave you in the peace which lies beneath the struggle to see the sun. In sure knowledge that this peace shall come upon you as you turn to the light of Christ, we leave you in the light of that peace, now and ever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
