I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Q’uo quote comes from October 22, 1995:

We have been talking about two concepts, the pre-incarnative programming that allows us to learn the lessons we have chosen and the free will of the incarnation that blends with the supposed predestination of the pre-incarnative choices. The other question concerns the blending of the planet’s religions, cultures, and philosophies, and we wonder how these can be reconciled to achieve peace. We would like Q’uo’s comments on whatever seems to be of value to our evolution in these areas.

(Carla channeling)

We are those of Q’uo. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. We are most pleased and happy to be with you this day and we greet and bless each of you. We thank you for calling us to your circle. It is our privilege to serve by offering you our thoughts, and we ask only that you take the thoughts that ring true to you and leave the rest behind, for each has his own path to follow, and each path is correct for the one person that is following it, and each has discrimination and knows what is true and right for him. If you will do that we then feel free to offer our honest opinions. They are not infallible; we ask you to realize that. We are the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow. We come when there is a call. Your planet has a great call at this time. We feel that we have good news, and we share it with you with a whole heart and a humble spirit.

Your queries this day are most interesting. We shall attempt to speak on this subject to some extent, but we ask you to realize that this is a large subject and one which can be explored certainly further than we will this day. Perhaps we shall begin by looking at the way that entities come into being in your density. Your density is the culmination of the first two densities, those being the density of elemental awareness known by your rocks and earth, your sea and sky, and the second density of animal and vegetable growth with its turning to the light and feeding from the light. In your third density you come into third density fresh from the creation of the Father as a flower or a tree or an animal. Consciousness is one, both the consciousness of the species and the consciousness of the place and the creation and the nature of creation. There is an intimate and instinctual awareness of the Creator, yet there is no awareness of the self.

The second-density entity gradually becomes aware of love because of human energy invested in the second-density creatures such as your pets. The awareness of self and the inward-turning gaze are the hallmarks of third density. As each density has its lessons, so the lesson of third density is that lesson of finding ways to love and to be loved, not only in relationships of one person to another but also in relationship of groups of people to other groups. Yours is a density that begins with primitive, small and scattered communities and by the end of the cycle becomes an environment of great, clearly defined and very conscious groups of entities.

The energies that are being worked on in third density are potentially all energies from the basic red-ray or sexual energy center through that rainbow of energies. However, it is the function of third density to complete work on that orange ray of personal relationships and to study and attempt to absorb ways of learning to love within the yellow-ray energy center, that ray which is involved when group-oriented energies are shared between individuals. The instinct to gather together in groups is deep. The instinct to include some and exclude others is very deep. And it is extremely easy for the seeker to become quite lost in the sea of confusion in which all of these energies are experienced, for your world is indeed a sea of confusion.

Now, if it is understood that the primary work of third density is in tuning and balancing those lower three energy centers of red, orange and yellow and then of opening and finding ways to maintain an openness and fullness of the heart, then it may be seen that those energies are not instinctual. The refinement has begun, for you stand as a third-density entity as a kind of rough diamond with unpolished edges and without sparkling facets, and through lifetime after lifetime within your third-density experience the self that is inherent within, that crystalline entity that you truly are, begins to become visible as the friction of everyday living works to smooth and refine that crystalline self.

Certainly, some of the abrasive and cleansing experiences of your illusion seem unlucky and unfortunate, yet it is precisely that friction that does the work of exposing the crystal that sparkles within, and the work that is done by the seeker is work upon the self. The seeker wishes to balance red ray, for that is the basic and very important beginning of energies, and that which is not freed and flowing within that root energy center constitutes a primal blockage that will slow and distort the pure light energy which you are receiving from the Creator.

Then it is that you work upon the relationship chakra by working within the self to come into more awareness of what you are feeling and thinking concerning the self in relationship to the self and to other selves. Often it is that an entity that truly does not wish to advance or finds it too painful to advance further will turn from yellow-ray work and move back into orange-ray work, that which is strictly between one entity and another or between the self and the self, in order to be more comfortable.

However, at this end time of your present third-density cycle it is entirely appropriate that each sets the self the task of finding new ways of coming into harmony with other cultures, other races, and other structures of thought, logic, and being. The end result of this planetary effort to come into spiritual convergence shall be that social memory complex that is the basic structure for fourth-density work. You are attempting to learn how to be one people, sharing each other’s thoughts, hopes, and fears, carrying each other’s burdens as naturally as breathing, sharing each other’s joys as if they are your own.

The group questions for this session began with: “The pre-incarnative programming that allows us to learn the lessons we have chosen and the free will of the incarnation that blends with the supposed predestination of the pre-incarnative choices.” And then: “The blending of the planet’s religions, cultures, and philosophies, and we wonder how these can be reconciled to achieve peace.” Q’uo began by saying that entities come into the third density from the first density of the elemental awareness of sky, water, earth, and rock and then move into the second density of animals and plants that turn toward the light, and both the first and second density beings have the consciousness of the Creator, but they do not have self-consciousness. Then Q’uo said that often second-density pets become invested with love and become aware of the self which is the nature of the third density where the learning of love is the primary lesson so that small third-density communities are formed which become clearly defined groups by the end of the third density. They went on to say that all of the energy centers are potentially able to be activated in the third density, but the main work is on tuning and balancing the lower three centers and then opening the fullness of the heart which requires a conscious choice rather than being instinctual in order for the seeker to be the equivalent of a rough-hewn diamond. Then Q’uo said that after many incarnations one may become a crystalline entity capable of using the catalyst of everyday living to smooth and refine that crystalline self which would begin with the basic nature of the red ray of survival. Then the orange ray of personal relations and the yellow ray of group consciousness would provide new ways of coming into harmony with various other groups, cultures, and races, and the end result of this spiritual convergence would be the forming of a social memory complex where all people: “are attempting to learn how to be one people, sharing each other’s thoughts, hopes, and fears, carrying each other’s burdens as naturally as breathing, sharing each other’s joys as if they are your own.” In 11.17, Ra spoke of the nature of the social memory complex:

Questioner: At what stage does a planet achieve social memory?

Ra: I am Ra. A mind/body/spirit social complex becomes a social memory complex when its entire group of entities are of one orientation or seeking. The group memory lost to the individuals in the roots of the tree of mind then becomes known to the social complex, thus creating a social memory complex. The advantages of this complex are the relative lack of distortion in understanding the social beingness and the relative lack of distortion in pursuing the direction of seeking, for all understanding/distortions are available to the entities of the society.

There is much work in fourth density, but once one has become able to be able to be part of a social memory complex one is no longer veiled from that which is most true. Each of you, then, is in the situation of coming close to the ability to merge with all other people. And so, there is a yearning and a desire to go further, to become more spirit than flesh, to cease striving after the way of third density. Yet the fact that you are within incarnation is sufficient to justify the opinion that this is precisely where you think you should be, for places within your world for incarnation are very rare compared to the number of entities who wish to come into the Earth plane at this time in order to aid in the transformation of your planetary sphere.

You are the one who chose this foggy, barren landscape, metaphysically speaking. It was your desire to place the self within this thick and dim illusion that is the Earth world in order that you might forget that which you know instinctively, for one cannot learn as one does in third density unless there is the physical stimulus, the emotional battering and so forth that constitutes catalyst for the individual as it goes through its daily round. So, no matter how difficult things may seem, it is our opinion that the situation remains perfect, for it is the outworking of the self’s plan for this incarnation that is being experienced.

Let us look at this plan. The entity who gets the opportunity to incarnate within your density upon your sphere first goes through the process of creating the scenario or the screenplay, shall we say, for your personal movie of life. You choose the cast. You choose who shall play mother, father, spouse, lover, friend, enemy, and so forth. You make agreements with these entities, not within the Earth plane, but within the finer world which this instrument calls the inner planes. No matter how difficult the relationships seem or how much pain has been experienced, this was part of your own choice. It may be difficult to believe or to understand how you would wish to choose to ask yourself to suffer, yet we can only say that when one is outside of the illusion that you now enjoy it seems like child’s play, and a good kind of playing at that, to plunge into the sea of confusion and to swim about in its waters.

Perhaps you have had the experience of thinking something was going to be fun until you have done it, and discovered that that was not fun, that it was horrible, scary, or some other negative feeling. This is the situation of man on Earth. He cannot believe that he has done it to himself. Yet, my friends, you have. You have asked for personal lessons, and you have asked for the chance to serve. Perhaps it may aid you in dealing with these difficulties simply to remind yourself that this is a part of the play, or as this instrument would say, the situation comedy of life. If you can find faith within yourself, faith that believes and knows that no matter what occurs that you are on track and the deeper goals are being met, perhaps that may alleviate and soften the harshness of lessons.

As your third density further draws towards its conclusion you shall experience more and more of the yellow-ray or group-to-group catalyst. That solar plexus chakra comes in for much use and abuse in working with these lessons. This is the time when one discovers what it feels like to be pulled at emotionally, mentally and spiritually. These are the times when you find out how to cut the cord that develops between two people or two groups that limits their freedom. If you can approach dealing with groups with faith, then we feel it is not so long away until you can observe the dynamics of the various groups of entities upon your planet and see all peoples as one.

One thing that greatly disturbs and puzzles seekers is the persistent friction betwixt races and peoples. This is not a reflection upon any civilizations’ or individual’s integrity, maturity or honor. The reasons for this instinctively felt friction lie in the fact that there is more than one race of entities populating your sphere. Your planet in this third-density cycle has been a place which has accepted many other planetary third-density entities who graduated into third density or were in third density yet were not able to dwell upon their home planet.

Now, each civilization or race throughout your galaxy, shall we say, has a slightly different archetypical consciousness, for it is the work of each sun or Logos to add the details to the basic plan of the one infinite Creator. When an entity or a people move from the heart, then, they are moving from an archetypical environment that is other than that archetypical environment enjoyed by those who have come here from places other than the one you have come from. Because of the thick illusion it seems that one way of experiencing or perceiving incoming sense data must drive out another way of seeing or perceiving sense data. As the times roll on and as each entity gains maturity these differences in the archetypal mind will begin not to repel but to fascinate entities. And as they lose fear, having become more secure in their own individual self, they will be able more and more to embrace those distinctly unlike themselves in appearance, in manner and in thinking.

Mostly to be remembered in this regard is one simple rule: you are here to learn to love. Find within the self at any time where the love is, where it can shine. Open the self to that opportunity, and you shall have acted well indeed, for each is a spark of the one infinite Creator, capable of healing, forgiving, embracing, and transforming each other. The one known to you as Jesus said to you, “Love one another.” As you love one another you are loving the one infinite Creator, for this spark is the basic essence of all conscious entities. You are love. There is just a very heavy coat of flesh upon that lightening Spirit born of Love that is you.

As you have your daily periods of meditation and contemplation, spend a moment reaching out to embrace all of the self’s catalyst, all that the world has to offer, both war and peace, both heat and cold in so many ways. Be or practice to be unafraid of trouble. Find ways to be serene while you are not understanding, for this lack of understanding will continue and is irrelevant to the process of spiritual evolution. When the heart is opening a tremendous strength fills the spirit. Whenever this is not felt and you become aware that the heart is closed, we ask that you touch in to your own faith, to the guidance that surrounds you, to the love that overshadows you, the mystery that made you, and claims you for its own, and rise refreshed and peaceful.

You have much to learn. You will make mistakes, but they are not metaphysical mistakes. The mistakes are part of your learning, part of the illusion, part of being human. Forgive yourself, for in forgiving the self you become able to forgive all and the redemption in the eyes of a peaceful person is a blessing indeed to those who behold it, and to the planet in general, for love lightens the planetary vibrations. This love does not come from you. We would not ask you to attempt to develop such a thing as infinite Love. We ask only that you open the self, allow pain to hollow you out and make you a beautiful and transparent instrument through which infinite Love can flow. You are a vessel, a precious, precious vessel. What shall you hold? What shall you offer?

Now Q’uo said that the fourth density beyond the veil was close, and many desired to be more of the spirit than of flesh, but the fact that third density was still in effect was a sign that entities needed to deal with the difficulties of third density until they had learned the lessons they incarnated to learn. Q’uo said that each had chosen these lessons which would be learned with many other actors upon the stage that would play the roles that would provide the difficult catalyst which would give each actor the opportunity to learn their lessons, and they suggested that as hard as these lessons were it was important for each to have the faith that all is well and then their deeper goals would be met. They went on to say that as the end of third density draws closer there would be more difficulties between groups and races because many different groups had come here from different Logoi and had unique archetypical characteristics which could cause separation and attacks between races that, as time went on and each group became more secure in their own identities, these differences would become more of an interesting aspect that would bring different races together. Then Q’uo said that each person is a spark of the Creator and is here to learn how to love, forgive, heal, and transform each other, and that it would be helpful to use daily meditation to look at all catalyst in a balanced way such as war and peace, heat and cold, and to practice the ability to be unafraid of any difficulties, keeping the heart open and the faith strong that the mystery that made us all may bring us the peace that passes understanding. They completed their thoughts by saying that we should forgive ourselves for any errors and let any pain hollow us out, and then we could become a beautiful and transparent instrument that infinite Love can flow through. On August 29, 1976, Hatonn said that we should use meditation to keep our hearts open to let love to flow through us:

Now, my friends, to show love is simply to act as a kind of open channel through which those healing waters of love can flow—through you, not from you, to all that you touch. And how to come in contact with the spring of those waters of love? It is for the reason of coming in contact with love that we so often urge you, my friends, to meditate. As we have said many times before, the Creator is everywhere that you may go. If you go down to the doors of what you call Hell, the Creator is there. There is no thing that you can do which the Creator is not your companion while doing. You cannot close your eyes, or your fingers, or your minds, and rid yourself of the Creator. Love is within you and all about you. If you do not recognize it, yet it is still there. It has been said in your holy works, “The light shined in the darkness, but the darkness comprehended it not.” Yet, my friends, if you become still, and if you open your inner eye in the darkness, it is absolutely inevitable that you will see that light and feel that love.

We would at this time transfer to the one known as Jim. We thank this instrument and leave it in love and light.

This morning I used the sprinkler to water the gardens around the fishpond, the Flower Fall Garden, and the Wuthering Heights Garden in the front yard. Then I ran some errands with my first stop being at AT&T in Middletown to get a new case for my cell phone. My second stop was at Walmart’s to get come Choc-Zero chocolates. The third stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to get some food for myself. My fourth stop was at the Speedway Gas Station to fill Stanley’s gas tank with gas. The last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store to buy a birthday card for a friend.

This afternoon I cleaned Benny’s apartment upstairs by using the carpet sweeper on the rug in the hall, and then sweeping up all of the kitty litter from both of her litter boxes in the room where she stays most of the time. Then I used the dustmop in all three rooms and the hall.

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

August 26

The Surrender Beyond Thought

I am of the principle of the love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of that perfect Love.

Your thoughts this day busily consider what actions you shall take for the improvement and the straightening of your life’s many details. Yet there is a great difference between that thought which is manipulation and that surrender beyond thought which invites the Spirit of the living God into action and creates transformation.

We ask you to dedicate your lives first to resting within the power of the Spirit. If enough souls turned first to the Spirit and only then to the world, the face of the Earth itself would be transformed!

And in the little round of one life the dedication of the self to the fiery, fertile essence of Spirit produces a purity and wholeness in the life experience which takes a soul from detail to a consciousness of glory. For you are not insignificant compilers of detail if you open the doors of your desire to the Spirit.

We leave you in the surrender which is perfect peace and perfect power, 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.
