I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the 103 quote comes from Chapter One and the section on why these concepts make my life better and getting the connections between man, tools, and the universe:

 Why these concepts make my life better

So at the end of the last section we were talking about healing Mother Earth. As we move into the New Age, the fourth density of love and understanding, it is important to engage in this healing and restitution of Mother Earth as a part of our spiritual journey. Q’uo agreed that such a restitution of our Mother Earth is greatly necessary:

Those coming to the planet now, more and more, are not interested as much in working with the people of the planet to bring them to their metaphysical graduation as they are interested in balancing the somewhat frayed and tattered garment of earth which your planet wears. There is this great need among you because so many of your population are made up of those who have done damage to their planets in the past and who, because they have not been able to break their habits of seeing the Earth as something to be exploited, have again repeated that tendency to do damage.

Therefore, there is the desire to balance all remaining planet-wide karma by doing such humble things as restoring the quality of the soil, restoring the quality of the air, restoring the quality of the water and finding how to live in such a way that, in every facet of your common life, it is understood that you, your planet and all that lives upon it are dancing one dance together to the glory of the one infinite Creator. Q’uo, September 2, 2007.

Here Q’uo said that this process of restitution can actually make our lives better:

You do not have to rescue planet Earth! However, there is a karmic energy within many of your peoples which comes from actions in other lifetimes which resulted in making third-density environments uninhabitable. Therefore, the karma is involved in restitution and stewardship of planet Earth. And there are many people among your tribes all over the globe who feel a tremendous love for the planet itself and a desire to heal it. We would encourage this line of thinking, for truly all is one and your planet is a part of you.

As you move into the future, realize that part of your job has to do with radiating the love and light of the infinite Creator. And another part of it may well have to do with working with whatever energies that are about you in your natural, everyday environment, to attempt to become better stewards of that which is around you. Q’uo, March 19, 2006.

As spiritual seekers of truth each of us is on a journey of many lifetimes, and upon this journey of learning to love with an open heart we have some helpful tools that we can use to expand our awareness of ourselves and the creation around us. Don Elkins looked at this process of spiritual growth as a way of putting the puzzle pieces together. This is how we evolve spiritually. In this section we will look at some of these tools.

Getting the connection between man, tools, and the universe

Consequently, it is simply more efficient to choose the way of the heart, in our opinion, and to see the goal of working with difficulty, not in achieving happiness, peace, or contentment, but rather, simply in continuing to accelerate the pace of spiritual and mental evolution. The energy of the open heart is open ended. It does not attach an outcome. It simply seeks greater openness of self and a greater ability to allow these rising emotions to do the work of the refiner’s fire. The seeker who has faith in the way of love has faith that no matter what comes she will be able to survive it. That no matter how much various difficulties cause suffering and pain she will be able to use those difficulties to refine those rivers of emotion that are rising to consciousness. Q’uo, May 7, 2000

Whenever we decide that we wish to construct a plan for our progress through the densities it is well to build it upon a strong foundation. Q’uo suggested that our best choice for such a foundation is our own open hearts. Not wisdom that seeks to describe what it sees in a clear and linear sense, but the open heart which feels a unity with and compassion for everything within the creation. Our open hearts can allow our deepest emotions, that are connected to our unconscious minds, to rise into our consciousness with their messages. These messages are from our very being and inform our minds and our hearts as to the directions that feel best for us to travel as Players on the Enhanced Gameboard of Life. Q’uo describes the process of opening our hearts:

We would suggest that it is not the first goal of communication to make sense or achieve objects, but, rather, the first goal of communication is to open the heart to another entity and allow that entity to see your heart. In terms of energy, communication is far beyond that which is thought of as communication among your peoples. What passes for communicating among your peoples is that which never achieves any energy level beyond red, orange and yellow-ray concerns. Much communication among your peoples does not involve the heart, and we would suggest that skill in communicating involves becoming a spiritually viable entity that moves into the heart, anchors the self within the heart, and only then turns outward with a willingness to share ideas. Were entities to invoke their own open hearts before each communication, we feel that much that is contentious among your peoples would naturally fall away.

Again and again it is necessary to move into the silence of one’s own heart. Call to yourself this day with that inner tolling bell of love unknown. Let that bell within toll for you. Let it ring out and resound in the shoals and the deep waters of your being. Open yourself to the wonder of that which is within you and allow a larger picture of self to emerge, a picture of a self that sees the creation as made and says that it is good. For you are co-creator in a far more specific way than perhaps you realized. You, by the seeds of love that you sow this day, create the love of tomorrow. Q’uo, February 24, 2002.

As these “rivers of emotion” that Q’uo mentioned in their first quote continue to flow into our consciousness we may discover that there are childhood sufferings and woundings that need our attention. They have come from the enculturation process where we as children were often required to conform to procedures and rules that were made for the benefit of adults and not children: how to act, how to talk, how to think. Here Q’uo speaks to this subject of childhood sufferings and woundings:

Yes, Q’uo, I have a question. We’ve been doing a lot of discussing about the childhood and working those things out. And it seems that problems in the childhood that aren’t worked out sometimes tend to contaminate the present moment and working things out, apparently, is going to be a very difficult and very painful process. My question is, is the clearing out and balancing of all of these painful experiences and feelings and dusting out cobwebs beneficial to allowing the present moment to be experienced with more purity or perhaps more clarity?

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We feel that you have a good grasp of this concept, for it is the early experiences within each entity’s incarnation that prepare the entity for those lessons that shall be laid out and those trails that shall be followed in order that an overall balance within the mind/body/spirit complex might be obtained. The clarity of vision of which you spoke is increased as one is able to see those factors and forces that have shaped one’s attitudes and which yet echo within the present moment of each entity. A portion of one’s efforts is well spent when one attempts to understand the formative years and their effect upon the perceptions and life pattern. The ability to enjoy each passing moment is enhanced, as one is able to balance the distortions that have been borne for these many years. This is not an escape into the past as one is attempting to enhance one’s ability to express the truest nature of one’s personality as the clearing of these early imprints is completed. Q’uo, March 20, 1991.

But now as adults, if we can operate from our open hearts, we can learn to have faith that resting in the love that is part of everything in the universe will provide us the means of surviving these difficulties. Faith is another part of that strong foundation that we need to build our spiritual journey upon as Q’uo said:

So, in your chosen service to another, the greatest efficacy may be found in relaxing into the flowing of a kind of communication from your heart and the deeper portions of your mind to your actions. In such a way you become inspired, and, indeed, you become inspiring. That is, you may inspire others by your lack of fear and concern, and by your wholehearted desire to serve, as well as by the radiance which is peculiar to those who have learned the value of faith governed by a carefully tuned desire. Q’uo, May 29, 1983.

Faith and an open heart are the primary tools for evolution and the foundation upon which that evolution is built.

This morning I spent a good deal of time responding to a young woman’s email who is a channel for an entity that is able to accomplish healing for people in a rather miraculous way. However, this is a new gift of hers, and she has run into some difficulties with feeling weary and worn out of late in these healing channelings and had some questions for me about the concept of channeling and how to prepare one’s self do it well. She asked a few questions about how Carla prepared herself to channel those of Ra, and I did my best to give her our method of tuning and preparation of the place of working. I hope that what I shared with her resolves her difficulties because I believe that she is doing very valuable service-to-others work.

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

                                               January 5     

The Home Of The Heart

I am of the spirit of Jesus the Christ, the vibration of the full consciousness of love which comforts this instrument. I offer greetings to you who come in the name of love, greetings of love, of wisdom, of understanding, of power, and of all the mysteries that cannot be grasped or solved within the world of your minds, hearts and hands.

Yet I come without a home, seeking the only home which the consciousness of love may ever have: the home of the heart, the mind, and the hand which seeks, accepts and worships those mysteries which, through faith, seem lovely and true.

Into your home we come to dwell, thanking you for your hospitality and sharing with you those light qualities that may illumine your home and structure and manifest the full consciousness of love into the world which you know and of which you must expect the giving and taking of many confused perceptions.

The spirit and you who seek the consciousness of love are one, incomplete without each other, united before time and after time. We thank each who invites love and to each we shall come in joy.

Peace be yours now and ever. 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.
